WILKES-BARRE TWP. Hoping to
scoop up a great deal on Christmas
lights, Debbie Grenewicz traveled to
the Target department store Monday
morning, only to leave with a tough
lesson regarding post-holiday sales:
You snooze, you lose.
By the time Grenewicz, of Askam,
got to the store around 11 a.m., the
shelves that had held dozens of boxes
of LEDlights on sale at half price were
all but empty.
I cant believe this, Grenewicz said
as she made her way out of the story
empty-handed. I expect this on Black
Friday, but not the day after Christ-
mas. You have to wonder what time
people came out.
The answer: 7 a.m., right when the
doors opened.
We had 125 people waiting in line
to get inside, said Target senior team
leader Casey Curcio, who was manag-
ing the store Monday.
The line of customers was great
news for Target as well as other retail-
ers, which are counting on post-holi-
day sales to boost their profits.
Retailers nationwide are expected
to sell $469.1 billion worth of goods
from November through December, a
3.8 percent increase in sales, accord-
ing to the National Retail Federation.
While thats more than the average 10-
year sales increase of 2.6 percent, its
still lower than the 5.2 percent in-
crease the industry saw last year, the
NRF said.
Retail experts predicted the day af-
ter Christmas would be the third busi-
est shopping day of the year, thanks in
part to the fact that it fell on

A research group based at Wilkes University
recently revised its position on whether burning
coal or natural gas has a worse impact on the en-
vironment and global warming.
Based on several newstudies, the Institute for
Energy and Environmental Research of North-
eastern Pennsylvania concluded that, contrary
to findings in an April study by
researchers at Cornell Univer-
sity, natural gas produced from
Marcellus Shale wells has a
lower greenhouse footprint
than coal.
Accordingtothe institute es-
say, the use of natural gas and
the other fossil fuels for energy
releases greenhouse gases, es-
pecially carbon dioxide, into
the atmosphere. Those gases
are thought to increase global
temperatures.
Studies conducted between
2000 and 2007 suggested that
natural gas produces fewer
greenhouse gases thancoal, es-
pecially when used to generate
electricity.
But a study by a teamof researchers at Cornell
University published in April found that extract-
ing natural gas from shale released large quanti-
ties of methane a far more potent greenhouse
gas than carbon dioxide.
The researchers concluded that when the full
life-cycle of energy extraction, delivery and use
is considered, shale gas produces up to twice the
greenhouse gas emissions compared to burning
coal or oil especially when viewed over a 20-
year time span.
However, seven analyses released in the sum-
mer and fall of 2011 came to a different conclu-
sion than the Cornell study. All seven found that

Following years of patients
crowding area emergency rooms
withnon-threatening ailments, a
medical care concept being in-
troduced to the Wyoming Valley
is expected to bring relief to hos-
pitals.
Known as urgent-care centers,
many facilities have sprung up
locally in Northeastern Pennsyl-
vania during the past year, and
experts believe more will follow.
The centers include: Geisin-
ger urgent-care clinics in Dallas
and South Wilkes-Barre; Con-
centra Urgent Care on Highland
Park Boulevard, Wilkes-Barre
Township; and MedExpress Ur-
gent Care centers on Kidder
Street in Wilkes-Barre and the
West Side Mall in Edwardsville.
They fill the gap between what
family physicians and emergen-
cy rooms are meant to handle.
Urgent care facilities are
equipped to handle non-life-
threatening injuries and illness-
es suchas minor burns andlacer-
ations, bee stings, sprains and
fractures, cold and flu symp-
toms, minor infections and asth-
ma complications.
And many urgent-care facili-
ties are also equipped with X-ray
machines and laboratories so
staff can quickly diagnose condi-
tions. They are staffed by physi-
cians, physicianassistants, nurse
practitioners, nurses and licens-

GRAPEVINE, Texas Six
members of a Texas family appar-
ently opened Christmas presents
just before a relative dressed as
Santa Claus showed up, opened
fire and killed thembefore killing
himself, police said Monday.
Grapevine police spokesman
Sgt. Robert Eberling said the
shooter showed up in the Santa
outfit shortly before gunfire
erupted and was a member of the
family. The identity of the shoo-
ter and the victims were to be re-
leased after autopsies were con-
ducted Monday, he said.
Police went to the apartment
midday Sunday after receiving a
911 call in which no one was on
the other line. They found four
womenandthree men, aged18 to
60, dead. Police say one of the
dead, a middle-aged man, is sus-
pected of being responsible. A
motive for the shootings remains
unclear.
Investigators worked over-
night, meticulously searching
the apartment, along with three
vehicles parked outside.
It appears they had just cele-
brated Christmas. They had
opened their gifts, Grapevine
Police Sgt. Robert Eberling said
Sunday, adding that the apart-
ment was decorated for the holi-
day, including a tree.
Two handguns were found
near the bodies, and it appears all
died of gunshot wounds, he said.
Grapevine Police Lt. Todd
Dearing said investigators be-
lieve that the victims were relat-
ed, though some were visiting
and didnt live in the apartment.
He saidpolice are lookingfor oth-
er relatives to inform of the
deaths.
Seven people in one setting in
Grapevine, thats never happened
before. Ever, Dearing said.
Police and firefighters first
rushed to the Lincoln Vineyards
complexafter receivingthe open-
ended911call at about 11:30 a.m.,
Eberling said.
There was an open line. No
one was saying anything, he ex-
plained.
So police went into the apart-
ment, located in the middle-class
neighborhood of Grapevine, not
far from the upscale Fort Worth
suburb of Colleyville. The apart-
ment was at the back of the com-
plex, overlooking the athletic
fields of Colleyville Heritage
High School.
Many of the nearby apart-
ments are vacant, and police said
no neighbors reported hearing
anything on a quiet Christmas
morningwhenmanypeople were
not around.
Jose Fernandez, a 35-year-old
heavy equipment mechanic who
moved to the complex with his
family about six months ago, said
he always felt safe in the area, but
is nowafraid to let his 10-year-old
son play freely outside.
This is really outrageous, es-
pecially on Christmas, said Fer-
nandez, who was visiting family
for the holiday and returned to
find several police cars parked
outside his home.
This has shocked everybody.
It has scared everybody. I guess
something like this can happen
anywhere, but seven people
dead. Its just very scary, he add-
ed.
Eberling agreed the area is fair-
ly quiet, saying the shootings in-
volved the first homicides in Gra-
pevine since 2010.
Christy Posch, a flight attend-
ant who moved to the complex
about six months ago so her son
couldattendthe highschool, said
she lives a few buildings away
and did not hear any gunshots.

FERGUS FALLS, Minn.
A goat that apparently didnt
want to be part of a Minneso-
ta Nativity scene has headed
for greener pastures.
The 3-year-old Angora goat
was supposed to have a sup-
porting role at Bethlehem
Church in Fergus Falls.
Instead it escaped its leash
Saturday afternoon.
The animal emained on the
lam Monday.
The goats owner, Jim
Aakre of rural Underwood,
said he tried to chase it for
about two hours, but the lack
of snow made tracking diffi-
cult.
The wayward goat has been
spotted several times since it
escaped, but police havent
been able to collar it.
A Fergus Falls Journal re-
ported that Aakre and his
wife also provided a llama
and two puppies for the ser-
vice.

(AP) -- State utility authorities have
adopted new gas leak detection guide-
lines that would increase monitoring
during the winter months, although
they are not as strict as requirements
the agency proposed last month.
The changes, customized for each
utility, are aimed at improving pipeline
safety and preventing explosions like
the Feb. 9 blast that killed five people
in Allentown. The explosion remains
under investigation.
Spokeswoman Jennifer Kocher of the
state Public Utility Commission told
The (Allentown) Morning Call the
company-specific frost patrol leak
detection requirements will improve
safety without unduly burdening cus-
tomers financially.
Utilities objected to the cost of more
stringent statewide leak detection and
safety requirements included in a tenta-
tive order in November.
PITTSBURGH
Policy wont cover mess
(AP) -- The insurer of a trucking
company whose tanker leaked sticky
black goo onto the Pennsylvania Turn-
pike in November says in court filings
that its $1 million policy likely wont be
enough to cover roughly 1,000 claims
for damaged vehicles.
Thats why Travelers Indemnity Co.
wants to deposit $1 million into a bank
account overseen by a federal judge in
Pittsburgh to satisfy its policy covering
Marino Transportation Services, also
known as MTS Transport. The Ste-
vensville, Md., company owned the
tanker truck that leaked the asphalt
flux material over about 40 miles of the
eastbound toll road in western Penn-
sylvania on Nov. 22. The goo damaged
tires and, in some cases, the engines
and other parts of cars that drove
through it.

WILKES-BARRE Addiction knows
no political boundaries: It cuts across
county lines as it tears apart families
and lives.
Its a fact the Rev. John Baumgartner
can attest to after
years helping addict-
ed convicts in pris-
ons in Luzerne and
Columbia counties
first as a volunteer
and now running a
faith-based support
group for female in-
mates at the Wilkes-
Barre facility.
Baumgartners de-
termination to see inmates stay clean
andsober after theyarereleasedledhim
to establish the Hope Community
Home, a transitional facility that will
house those who fulfill their sentences
and return to the outside world but still
face the pressure of avoiding relapse.
The home a site has beenpickedbut
it has yet to start operations is in Ber-
wick, where Baumgartner serves as pas-
tor at the Heritage Baptist Church.
But it will be available to women leav-
ing either the Columbia County or Lu-
zerne County prisons.
Many times we
find a connection be-
tween the two coun-
ties, Baumgartner
said.
A person from Ber-
wick can be convicted
for actions in Luzerne
County and be incar-
cerated where the
crime occurred, for
example.
There are other advantages to living
in a transitional house farther from
home. One of the key reasons for such
facilities is to help the recovering addict
avoid a return to the people and places
that fed the addiction before arrest.
Weve seen people who have told us
they relapsed four or five times within
the same year. They are out maybe a
couple months, maybe a couple weeks,
then back in again, Baumgartner said.
The home will provide intensive
case management, typically for six to
nine months, to help people make the
transition from prison back to life on
their own.
It should really cut down on recidi-
vism, he said.

WILKES-BARRE With thousands
of supporters and a host of footage and
photos of the Agnes flood of 1972, a
small group of volunteers hoping to
produce a documentary of the flood is
now struggling to find a way to make
the dream happen.
Alan Stout, execu-
tive producer of the
hopeful documentary,
said that an applica-
tion for a grant for the
project from the Penn-
sylvania Humanities
Council was denied.
That leaves the
group of volunteers
little cash to actually
produce the film
which they had hoped
to debut in June 2012
and asking the pub-
lic for help.
We have raised
about $4,000 from lo-
cal legislators and
Mohegan Sun (at Po-
cono Downs), Stout
said. Its a long way
from the goal of our
original thought. We
are at a crossroads,
and we feel the public
needs to know that.
Stout, who is em-
ployed with Big

been working on the
project for the past 18
months with Tony
Brooks, executive di-
rector of the Luzerne

At least sevenpeople were left home-
less after fires struck three Luzerne
County homes on Christmas Day.
Valley Regional Fire & Rescue re-
sponded to a blaze at a home at 440 N.
Hunter Highway (state Route 309) in
Butler Township at about 7:55 p.m.
Sunday.
The home was fully involved when
firefighters arrived, andFire Chief Rich
Bognar was uncertain if anyone was
home at the time. The blaze was
knocked down by 9:30 p.m.
Astate police fire marshal was called
in to determine the cause.
While assisting at the Butler Town-
ship Fire along with 12 other depart-
ments, the Freeland Fire Department
was called away to a blaze at 425-427
Alvin St., Freeland, at about 8:22 p.m.
Freeland Assistant Fire Chief Wilson
Malloy said that a two-story double-
block home was fully involved when
firefighters arrived. One of the depart-
ments two engines had remained at
the fire station and was the first to ar-
rive on-scene; the other engine and the
department ladder truck arrived a
short time later en route from Butler
Township.
Malloy said an elderly woman lives
at 427 Alvin St. while a family of six re-
sides in the other half of the double-
block home. He saidall residents made
it out safely, but the fate of a pet cat
could not be determined. He assumes
the cat made it out through an open
door.
Malloy said all seven residents were
staying with either family or friends
and the American Red Cross was as-
sisting them.
A state police fire marshal and the
Freeland fire chief are investigating the
cause of that fire.
Malloy said area fire resources were
stretched thin in a short time span, but
provided outstanding service.
Responding to two major incidents
on a holiday like that was phenom-
enal, Malloy said.

BAGHDAD
Sadrists seek new elections
T
he political party loyal to radical
Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr called
Monday for the dissolution of Iraqs
parliament and new elections in anoth-
er move that could escalate the coun-
trys growing sectarian crisis.
The anti-American Sadrists are a
partner in Prime Minister Nouri al-
Malikis Shiite-dominated government.
Bahaa al-Aaraji, the head of the Sadrist
bloc in parliament, said the elections
are needed because of instability in the
country and problems that threaten
Iraqs sovereignty.
Iraq plunged into a new sectarian
crisis last week, just days after the last
American troops withdrew at the end
of a nearly nine-year war.
The new political crisis has been
accompanied by a new wave of attacks
on the Iraqi capital by suspected Sunni
insurgents linked to al-Qaida. A suicide
bomber set off a car bomb Monday at a
checkpoint leading to the Interior
Ministry, killing seven people and
injuring 32, officials said.

Helicopter crash claims 3
Two Mayo Clinic employees and a
pilot flying to a University of Florida
hospital to retrieve a heart for a trans-
plant were killed when their helicopter
crashed Monday in north Florida, offi-
cials said.
The helicopter departed the Jackson-
ville hospital around 5:45 a.m. but
never arrived in Gainesville, about 60
miles southwest, said Kathy Barbour, a
spokeswoman for the Mayo Clinic.
The employees names were not
released because relatives hadnt been
notified.
FAA records show the Bell 206 hel-
icopter is owned by SK Jets. An em-
ployee who declined to give her name
said the St. Augustine company had no
immediate information.

League observers hit Syria
As many as 20 people were killed in
heavy shelling and gunfire in the Syrian
city of Homs on Monday, opposition
activists said, even as the first group of
about 50 Arab League observers was
expected to arrive in the country to
monitor compliance with a regional
peace initiative.
League officials said some of the
observers would head to Homs today
to get a first-hand look at a city that has
been at the center of a nine-month
uprising against Syrian President Bash-
ar Assad.
Most of Mondays deaths were re-
ported in the citys Bab Amro district,
which activists say has endured days of
heavy shelling, machine-gun fire and
raids. The British-based Syrian Observ-
atory for Human Rights said 14 people
died there and six were killed in other
districts.

Cops: Alleged crook KOd
Police say a would-be robber who
demanded money from a store clerk
got a fistful.
Before he could run off with any
cash, the clerk at the We Buy Gold
store in Hendersonville punched him in
the nose on Friday. Sgt. Dale Patton
with the Hendersonville Police Depart-
ment said Mostafa Kamel Hendi, 25,
dropped to the floor.
The clerk, 26-year-old Derek Mother-
shead, then grabbed the gun which
turned out to be a pellet gun and
called police. Hendi lay bleeding on the
floor until he was arrested. Hendi was
being held on $100,000 bond.

LOSANGELESDespitebeingwell
studied, Earths moon remains an enig-
ma.
Over the New Years weekend, a pair
of spacecraft the size of washing ma-
chines are set to enter orbit around it in
the latest lunar mission. Their job is to
measure the uneven gravity field and
determine what lies beneath straight
down to the core.
Since rocketing from the Florida
coast in September, the near-identical
Grail spacecraft havebeenindependent-
ly traveling to their destination and will
arrive 24 hours apart. Their paths are
right on target so engineers recently de-
cided not to tweak their positions.
Both spacecraft have performed es-
sentially flawlessly since launch, but
one can never take anything for granted
in this business, said mission chief sci-
entist Maria Zuber of the Massachu-
setts Institute of Technology.
On New Years Eve, one of the Grail
probes short for Gravity Recovery
and Interior Laboratory will fire its
engine to slow down so that it could be
captured into orbit. This move will be
repeated by the other the following day.
Engineers said the chances of the
probes overshootingare slimsince their
trajectories have been precise. Getting
struck by a cosmic ray may prevent the
completion of the engine burn and they
wont get boosted into the right orbit.
NASAs Jet Propulsion Laboratory is
managing the $496 million, three-
month mission.
Once in orbit, the spacecraft will
spend the next two months flying in for-
mationandchasing one another around
the moon until they are about 35 miles
above the surface with an average sep-
aration of 124 miles. Data collection
wont begin until March. Previous mis-
sions have attempted to measure lunar
gravity with mixed success. Grail is the
first mission dedicated to this goal.
As the probes circle the moon, region-
al changes in the lunar gravity field will
cause them to speed up or slow down.
This inturnwill change the distance be-
tween them. Radio signals transmitted
by the spacecraft will measure the slight
distance gaps, allowing researchers to
map the underlying gravity field.
Using the gravity information, scien-
tists can deduce whats below or at the
lunar surface such as mountains and
craters andmayhelpexplainwhythefar
side of the moon is more rugged than
the side that faces Earth.
The probes are officially known as
Grail-A and Grail-B. Several months
ago, NASA hosted a contest inviting
schools and students to submit new
names. The probes will be christened
with the winning names after the sec-
ond orbit insertion, Zuber said.

WASHINGTON The U.S.
economy will growfaster in 2012
if it isnt knocked off track by
upheavals in Europe, according
to an Associated Press survey of
leading economists.
Unemployment will barely fall
fromthe current 8.6 percent rate,
though, by the time President Ba-
rack Obama runs for re-election
inNovember, the economists say.
The three dozen private, cor-
porate and academic economists
expect the economy to grow 2.4
percent next year. In 2011, it like-
ly grew less
than 2 percent.
The year is
ending on an
upswing. The
economy has
generated at
least 100,000
newjobs for five
months ina row
the longest
such streak
since 2006.
The number
of people apply-
ing for unem-
ployment bene-
fits has dropped
to the lowest
level since April
2008.
And the economy avoided a
setback when President Barack
Obama signed legislation Friday
extending a Social Security tax
cut that was to expire at years
end. But Congress could agree
only on a two-month extension.
The economists surveyed Dec.
14-20 expect the country to cre-
ate177,000 jobs a month through
Election Day 2012. That would
be up from an average 132,000
jobs a month so far in 2011.
Dean Maki, chief U.S. econo-
mist at Barclays Capital, says the
U.S. economy remains vulnera-
ble to an outside shock. A big
threat is the risk that Europes
debt crisis will trigger a world-
wide credit freeze like the one
that hit Wall Street in late 2008.
Congressional gridlock ahead
of the 2012 elections and unfore-
seenglobal events, like this years
Arab Spring protests, could slow
the U.S. economy.

MADALLA, Nigeria In the chaos after
the Christmas terror attack on a Catholic
church, a mortally wounded man cradled his
wounded stomach and begged a priest for re-
ligious atonement. Father, pray for me. I will
not survive, he said.
At least 35 people died at St. Theresa Ca-
tholic Church, and dozens were wounded as
radical Muslimmilitants launchedcoordinat-
ed attacks across Africas most populous na-
tion within hours of one another. Four more
people were killed in other violence blamed
on the group known as Boko Haram.
It was the second year in a rowthat the ex-
tremists seeking to install Islamic Shariah
law across the country have staged Christ-
mas attacks. Last year, a series of bombings
on Christmas Eve killed 32 people in Nigeria.
On Monday, crowds gathered among the
burned-out cars, angry over the attack and
fearful the group will target more churches.
The Rev. Christopher Jataudarde said Sun-
days blast happened as church officials gave
parishioners white powder as part of a tradi-
tion celebrating the birth of Christ. Some al-
ready had left the church at the time of the
bombing, causing the massive casualties.

HONOLULU The Obama adminis-
tration is considering whether to allow
Yemens outgoingpresident intotheUnit-
ed States for medical treatment, as fresh
violence andpolitical tensions flare inthe
strategically important Middle Eastern
nation.
A senior administration official said
President Ali Abdullah Salehs office re-
quested that he be allowed to receive spe-
cialized treatment in the U.S. for injuries
sustained in a June attack on his com-
pound.
The request was being considered, and
would only be approved for medical rea-
sons, the official said.
Until now, the White House had not
commented on Salehs assertion Satur-
day that he would be leaving Yemen and
traveling to the U.S. Salehinsistedhe was
goinginorder tohelpcalmtensions inhis
country, not for medical treatment.
Demonstrators began protesting
against Saleh and calling for his ouster in
February.
The Yemeni government responded
with a bloody crackdown, leaving hun-
dreds of protesters dead, and stoking
fears of instability in a nation already
grappling with burgeoning extremism.

natural gas produces 20 percent
to 60 percent lower greenhouse
gas emissions, especially when
used for electrical generation
and when viewed over a 100-
year time span.
The discrepancies between
the Cornell and subsequent
studies appear to result primar-
ily from the different time
frames used(20-year time frame
versus 100-year).
Wilkes professor Kenneth
Klemow, one of the au-
thors of the institute es-
say, was hesitant to rank
as more credible either
the Cornell study or a
study by Carnegie-Mel-
lon University research-
ers that the energy in-
dustry said disputed the
Cornell study when the
Carnegie-Mellon study
came out in August.
Klemow had said the Carne-
gie-Mellon study tipped the bal-
ance more in favor of natural
gas, but only by a little bit.
While the gas industry had
claimed the CMU study slam-
dunked the Cornell study, Kle-
mow said he wasnt so sure
about that.
He was sure that more re-
searchwas neededandresearch-
ers needed to take more field
measurements rather than rely
on data from previous studies.
Klemow said last week that
because of several new articles
and reports that have come out
in the past three months, re-
searchers at the institute found
it necessary to issue an update
on the original position.
The main message is that
seven independent studies now
agree that shale gas has a lower
greenhouse footprint than coal.
That conclusion largely contra-
dicts thefindings bya teamof re-
searchers at Cornell who pub-
lished a paper last April that ar-
gued shale gas has a higher foot-
print than coal due to
inadvertent releases of methane
at gas wells, Klemow said.
In addition to incorporating
the findings of the recent stud-
ies, the institute included some
graphics to illustrate key trends
that have been observed. And in
addition to summarizing
the research to date, they
say they provide our own
synthesis especially re-
lating to future research
needs.
Scientists are becom-
ing increasingly con-
vinced that burning fossil
fuels releases gases that
affect our climate, Kle-
mow said. Therefore,
studies comparing emissions of
natural gas against coal are vital
if we want to have informed dis-
cussions and make wise choic-
es.
While recent analyses gener-
ally shownatural gas has a lower
footprint than coal, the science
is far from settled. More studies
of methane leakage near Marcel-
lus wells and pipelines are crit-
ically needed to give us a more
accurate picture, he said.

Dr. Robert Strony, director of
emergencymedicineat Geisinger
Wyoming Valley Medical Center
in Plains Township, estimated
about 20 percent of those coming
to his ER likely could have been
cared for in an urgent-care cen-
ter.
While physicians hold office
hours in the morning and after-
noon -- and sometimes on Satur-
days urgent-care clinics are of-
ten staffed from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.,
sevendays a week.
This availability has allowed
patients to forgo making that 8
p.m. decision about whether to
wait until the morning to call
their doctor or to drive to the
emergency room to have their is-
sue treated.
Patient convenience
The availability of clinics with
longer hours andlarger staffs also
means not having to worry about
getting a same-day appointment
at ones doctors office.
Strony said that these kinds of
centers were introduced in the
1980s but didnt catch on. But a
societal need has brought them
back for another go round.
We really want quick service
rightnowrightwhenI wantit, not
when someone else wants it.
Thats what people are looking
for, Strony said.
For a while emergency rooms
became the place to go to meet
those service-on-demandneeds.
Melissa Chisdock, the center
manager for the MedExpress in
Edwardsville, said patient visits
have been growing since the cen-
ter opened in July. She said the
goal of the company is not to be
competitionwithphysiciansand
emergency rooms. Were here to
help them.
Were here to assist those
emergencyroomsbytakingthose
non-emergency cases, Chisdock
said.
Dr. David Hochhauser, interim
medical director at Wilkes-Barre
General Hospital, said there are
no substitutes for emergency
rooms, but urgent-carecenters do
have a place inthe system.
Urgent-care centers can sup-
plement a family doctors care af-
ter office hours, on the weekend
or if it is not possible to get an ap-
pointment right away.
Hochhauser said that while ur-
gent-care centers clearly fulfill a
communityneed, patientsexperi-
encingaseriousillnessorinjury
should proceed to the closest
emergency department for treat-
ment.
Consumers save money
In addition to the convenience
factor, theres also a cost aspect.
By cutting down on non-emer-
gency visits to emergency rooms,
hospitals and insurers are saving
money, andsotooarepatients. In-
steadof payingaco-paythatcould
be upwards of $500, someone vis-
iting an urgent-care clinic would
likelybechargedthespecialist co-
pay of less than one-tenth the ER
co-pay cost.
The use of an urgent-care cen-
ter for unexpected illnesses or in-
juries when a primary care physi-
cian is not available may alleviate
emergency room overcrowding
and allowthe ERstaff to focus on
true emergency cases and can
help better manage costs system
wide, saidAnthonyMatrisciano,
a spokesman for Blue Cross of
NortheasternPennsylvania.
Allen Minor, a Misericordia
University professor who directs
the schools health care manage-
ment program, saidthe idea of an
urgent care clinic as part of the
healthcare landscape is a good
one.
The emergency rooms are
costly and the deductibles are in-
creasing so the insurance compa-
nies are trying to deter patients
from going to the emergency
rooms andget themtogotothese
urgent care clinics, Minor said.
He added that oftentimes the
emergencies that occur happen
after primarycare physicianoffic-
es have closedfor the day, leaving
patients witha decisionto make.
There is a void there, Minor
said. The urgent-care centers fill
that void. Theres certainlyaneed
for them.
He said as patients learn of
these clinics and begin using
them, emergencyroomsandeven
primary-care physicians may see
a decline in visits, but until then,
some of these clinics will play the
waitinggameandhavesomedays
where the costs of being open
arent covered by the patients
coming throughthe door.
I can see them spreading like
McDonalds and Burger King,
withone onevery corner, Strony
said. As medical costs rise and in-
surance companies try to combat
those costs with more-affordable
options, the centers will be uti-
lizedmore.
There are about 9,200 urgent-
care centers in the country, ac-
cording to the Urgent Care Asso-
ciation of America. That number
grew by more than 1,200 in just
the past three years. Locally, two
more in centers will be added in
January as Geisinger plans to
open two more urgent-care cen-
ters in the county one at Geisin-
ger Wyoming Valley and another,
in conjunction with Careworks in
MountainTop.
Across the country, an estimat-
ed 3 million patients visit these
centers each week, according to
Chicago-basedtrade group.

and Minnesota Rep. Michele
Bachmann, all eager to energize
their existing supporters and at-
tract new ones.
Texas Rep. Ron Paul arrives
Wednesday. Recent polls suggest
he is peaking as caucus day ap-
proaches, a rise that has himtied
with Romney or even ahead, and
drawing more scrutiny for his
views.
The result figures to be a short
but intense stretch of campaign-
ing through small towns and
even smaller towns, the sort of
one-on-one politicking that has
largely vanished in the electronic
age.
Failing that, it will pay tribute
to the types of cuisine that pros-
per inearly21st centuryAmerica.
The Perry bus will belly up to
Doughy Joeys inWaterloo andto
the Fainting Goat in Waverly, an
establishment whose website
says After 10 p.m., we are the
type of place your mothers
warned you about. Perry also
will visit a vineyardandwinery in
Carroll.
Bachmann will make an early-
winter stop at a Dairy Queen, as
well as Pizza Ranch establish-
ments inHarlan, RedOak andAt-
lantic, threelocalities withacom-
bined population of 17,282.
Its not all about the food,
though.
Perryhas astoparrangedat the
Glenn Miller Museum in Clarin-
da, population 5,301, where the
great bandleader was born.
The Texas governor also has a
distinction that none of his rivals
can boast, a town that shares his
name. Thus, Perry will visit Per-
ry.
There were signs of strategic
shifts as candidates struggled to
stand out in advance of the straw
poll next week that inaugurates
the round of primaries and cau-
cuses that will pick a nominee to
oppose President Barack Obama
next fall.
Perrys newadshows images of
Gingrich, Paul, Santorum and
Bachmann as it criticizes Con-
gress and renews the governors
call for halving lawmakers pay
and time spent in Washington.
Despite the commercials im-
plication, Gingrich and Santo-
rum were out of Congress when
the multibillion-dollar financial
bailouts of 2008 occurred. Paul
and Bachmann voted against the
legislation.
Still, the approach taken sug-
gests the Texas governor is more
concerned with outpacing Paul,
Bachmann, Santorum and Gin-
grichoncaucus night that he is in
defeating Romney.
Romney, a former Massachu-
setts governor makinghis second
try for the White House, has a
well-funded and well-organized
campaign nationally and in Iowa,
as well as allies who are spending
heavily on television advertise-
ments through an independent
organization known as a super
PAC.
While others have periodically
risen to challenge him, Romney
has kept his support from seri-
ously eroding in the polls, consis-
tently remaining near the top.
Avictory in Iowa does not nec-
essarily translate into the Repub-
lican presidential nomination.
Yet history suggests that conten-
ders who finish farthest behind
next week will quickly drop out,
underscoring the significance of
the struggle to emerge as Rom-
neys chief rival.
The most recent presidential
hopeful to surge andthenfalter is
Gingrich. The former House
speakers campaign imploded
last summer and still shows the
after-effects: a shortage of funds
tocounter attackads inIowa, and
failure to qualify for the primary
in Virginia in March.
After insisting he would run a
purely positive campaign, Gin-
grich let it be known he was
about toattackRomney onone of
his presumed areas of strength,
his economic proposals.
R.C. Hammond, a spokesman
for Gingrich, said the candidate
would make the case that Rom-
ney has advanced very timid
ideas that will do little to get peo-
ple back to work.
Gingrich favors an end to taxes
on investment income and divi-
dends, while Romney wants to
end them only for individuals
with incomes of $200,000 or less.
Gingrich also has proposed an
optional 15 percent flat tax on in-
come. Under the plan, taxpayers
could stay in the current system,
which has a top tax rate of 35 per-
cent on taxable income above
$379,150, or switch to the new
flat rate, which would apply to in-
come at all levels.
Romney favors retaining the
current graduated income tax
system, with lower rates than
currently exist.
IOWA
STAMFORD, Conn. A house se-
verely damaged in a Christmas morning
fire that killed three children and two
grandparents, one of whom worked as
Santa Claus at Saks Fifth Avenue, has
been torn down.
The building department determined
that the $1.7 million house was unsafe
and ordered it razed, Stamford fire chief
Antonio Conte said.
The homes owner, advertising execu-
tive Madonna Badger, and her male ac-
quaintance escaped from the fire. But
Badgers three daughters a 10-year-
old and 7-year-old twins and her par-
ents, who were visiting for the holiday,
died, police said.
Neighbors said they awoke to the
soundof screaming shortly before 5 a.m.
Sunday and rushed to help, but could do
nothing as flames devoured the home.
Police said the male acquaintance
who escaped the blaze with Badger was
a contractor working on the home. He
was also hospitalized but his condition
was not released.
Interviews with them were to be fin-
ishedMonday, Conte said. He hadnode-
tails on the investigation.
Aspokeswoman for Saks Fifth Avenue
confirmed in a statement that Badgers
father, Lomer Johnson, had worked as a
Santa this year at its flagship store in
Manhattan. Mr. Johnson was Saks Fifth
Avenues beloved Santa, and we are
heartbrokenabout this terrible tragedy,
spokeswoman Julia Bently said.
Badger, an ad executive in the fashion
industry, is the founder of New York
City-based Badger & Winters Group. A
supervisor at StamfordHospital saidshe
was treated and discharged by Sunday
evening. Her whereabouts Mondaywere
unknown.

remedy revenue woes, Dec. 16), I wanted
to respond.
Christa, do your homework. Learn more
about fracking and its hazards. Watch the
film Gasland. Read about the water prob-

Joe Paterno was more
than a football coach
I
t was a crisp autumn afternoon in 1976
when I first witnessed a crowd of 70,000
cheer wildly as the drum major raced
toward the 50-yard line and completed a
somersault at Beaver Stadium to lead the
marching band onto the field for the pre-
game performance. The Penn State home
team did not have any superstars on of-
fense but played a disciplined, hard-fought
football game and scored a decisive victo-
ry.
No mascot logo on the helmet.
No names on the jerseys.
No stripes on the plain white pants.
Black spikes (when black wasnt cool).
I decided to research to try to under-
stand who was behind all of this. (Some
readers might want to stop here).
The man behind all of this was Joe
Paterno. I learned that this man was not
only a football coach. He taught his players
quotes from Browning: A mans reach
should exceed his grasp, or whats a heav-
en for. He taught the importance of pride,
family, teamwork, hard work and educa-
tion. There was no need to have a wild
touchdown celebration dance: Act like
youve been there before. And he taught
that there is life after college football.
Sure, some of his graduates became NFL
players, Super Bowl MVPs and NFL exec-
utives. Others became doctors, lawyers,
concert pianists, teachers and business
owners. Joe Paterno was, and is, a hero to
many.
For those people searching for a hero,
you might want to look in your communi-
ty: firefighter, police officer, pastor, rabbi,
or your own mother or father. Your hero
might be closer than you think.

Toy drives should include
gifts suitable for teens
A
teen-specific holiday gift-drive is need-
ed for this area. A few years ago, I
suggested to a single mom of two
tweens that she go to a local charity and
ask for help with holiday gifts. She had
recently lost her home in a fire and needed
assistance.
Marge Simpson says that God told her
not to give canned lima beans to food
drives. Well, in the same way, used teddy
bears dont quite cut it with 8-year-olds. I
felt worse for my friend after the charity
gave her tween kids books to read. On
Christmas vacation, even Lisa Simpson
probably takes a rest from the library
stacks.
I dont understand why Christmas stops
being significant to minors-in-need once
they reach the hoary age of 10.
Please, local charities: Next year, start
gift-card drives for teenagers, or new cloth-
ing drives or technology-related drives.
This is the 21st century.
Used teddy bears and books probably
meant a lot to Tiny Tim, but he lived in
Dickens imagination.

THE FACTS are alarming.
According to the Centers for
Disease Control and Preven-
tion, nearly 65 percent of
adults do not exercise regu-
larly, half of all adults have
high cholesterol, one out of
every four has high blood pressure and 30
percent are obese.
These conditions contribute to chronic
illnesses, which account for 75 percent of all
health care costs in the United States.
Since many adults spend most of their
waking hours at work, employers are in a
unique position to empower their employees
to adopt healthier lifestyles.
Being proactive about ones health enhanc-
es quality of life. Individuals who choose to
eat healthy foods, get regular exercise and
have the right medical screenings tend to be
healthier, live longer and report being hap-
pier. And since employees are usually an
organizations most valuable resource, having
healthier employees benefits the companys
bottom line.
Government and industry statistics show
that for every $1 invested in workplace well-
ness, companies save between $3 and $5 on
health care and absenteeism costs within the
first three years. And according to the CDC,
companies with wellness programs also tend
to attract more talented employees, have
better employee morale and experience less
turnover.
Starting a workplace wellness program
doesnt have to be complicated or costly.
With senior managements support, the first
step is usually the creation of an employee
wellness team to engage workers and encour-
age ideas from all levels in the organization.
Programs can begin simply, by switching
to healthier food choices in vending ma-
chines and at staff meetings, starting walk-at-
lunch groups to get people moving and
bringing in speakers for presentations on
various health topics.
Once the program is under way, orga-
nizations can add options such as offering
employee health assessments, discounted
gym memberships, on-site health fairs, free
flu vaccinations and fun fitness competitions.
Organizations might want to add incentives
such as rewards for losing weight, complet-
ing medical screenings or participating in
other health-related programs.
Because we understand the value of educa-
tion and prevention, many insurers such as
Blue Cross of Northeastern Pennsylvania
offer support for workplace wellness activ-
ities. At BCNEPA, our Blue Health Solutions
program is available to all covered employers
to help their employees manage chronic
conditions, quit smoking or simply start
down the path of a healthier lifestyle.
As we prepare to begin a new year, local
employers should consider making an in-
vestment in their employees and in their
own bottom lines by implementing a work-
place wellness program in 2012.

wellness, visit the U.S. Workplace Wellness
Alliance at www.uswwa.org or Blue Cross of

HE FINAL withdrawal
of U.S. troops fromIraq
is a welcome way to
conclude 2011. Young
Americanswill becominghome,
and taxpayers will no longer be
spendingmorethan$150million
per day on a war begun under
false pretenses and pursued un-
der falsehopesof bestowinghap-
pily-ever-after democracy.
But someof thebillions Amer-
icans are saving needs to go to-
wardhelpingveterans. Its argua-
ble that we failed the Iraqi peo-
ple, but we must not fail our
own. Men and women who
fought for us deserve a bright fu-
ture at home.
The president and Congress
are responsible for this, and it is
by no means guaranteed. Veter-
ans benefits are guaranteed
through next year, but lawmak-
ers this fall toyed with reneging
on the promise of longer-term
help. Yes, the national debt is a
problem, but balancing the bud-
get on the backs of veterans
would be unconscionable.
Even now the unemployment
ratefor veteransyounger than24
is almost 40 percent. The sol-
diers who will be coming home
face a challenging job market.
They should at least be able to
rely on benefits they were prom-
ised.
More than 2 million Ameri-
cans have served in Iraq or Af-
ghanistan. Upontheirreturn, the
first order of business should be
helping them find jobs with
healthinsurance andother bene-
fits. But those who cant must
not be abandoned.
Many will need treatment for
depression or post-traumatic
stress. Its far better and far
cheaper to spend money on
helping veterans become pro-
ductive members of society than
it is to allow them to slide into
poverty and homelessness.
When that happens, health care
and other services will cost far
more in public dollars and hu-
man misery.
Misery is indeed a legacy of
going to war: Nearly 20 veterans
commit suicide every day. More
U.S. soldiers have committedsu-
icide in the past decade than
those who died in combat in
Iraq.
If ever therewasanonpartisan
issue, this shouldbeit. President
Barack Obama made campaign
promises to work to reduce the
suicide rate of veterans and to
speed up access to treatment for
postwar problems. He must fol-
lowthrough, andCongress must
helptofindthemoney. All Amer-
icans of all political persuasions
shouldbedemandingthisincho-
rus. What could be more impor-
tant?

OUAINTSEENnoth-

delivered when describing
what Pennsylvanians can ex-
pect in the next fiscal year.
TheCorbett administrations
$27.1 billion budget for 2011-12
hit hard, affecting social servic-
es, arts groups, parks andmore,
with a disproportionately big
share of the pain in education,
which triggered local tax in-
creases andhigher tuitionrates
at state universities.
But if residents thought that
was tough, Budget Secretary
Charles Zogby offered this
warning: In many respects,
2012-13 is going to be an even
more difficult challenge.
In an effort to get a jump on
the problem, he said hes put-
ting finishing touches on plans
to freeze some spending in the
second half of the current fiscal
year.
Planning ahead is smart, but
there are a few things the Cor-
bett administration should
keep in mind going forward.
Cutting
alone wont
solve the
states prob-
lem. Corbett
must put his
political mus-
cle behind
proposed fee
increases on motorists to help
pay for road and bridge im-
provements andfair charges on
Marcellus Shale drillers to off-
set the local and statewide
costs associated with the in-
dustry.
When reductions are pro-
posed, education should not be
targeted since that portion of
the budget already absorbed $1
billion in cuts.
If the governor is serious
about producing a workforce
that can move Pennsylvania
forward, he must recognize
that further cutbacks will un-
dermine that effort, and local
property owners arent willing
to pay a higher proportionate
share.

ters nationwide, he said. It boasts
a high rate of success in keeping
addicts clean and sober.
TheprograminMilford, Ohio,

Nationwide, the program aver-
ages about 80 percent success in
keeping those who graduate
clean and sober after one year.
Baumgartner stressed the
home will not house prisoners.
The people allowed in would be
re-entering society anyway.
He also stressed the home will
have strict requirements. For
starters, no one will be eligible
unless they were part of the pro-
gram in the prison and have
showna keendesire tostayclean
and sober.
Itll be a voluntary program.
Upon their release they would
sign a contract with us, Baum-
gartner said. They need to fulfill
five criteria. They must stay
clean and sober, attend church
regularly, repair family relation-
ships, hold a job if they are phys-
ically able, and do church and
community service. They must
give back to society.
Initial planscall for thehometo
house up to three women. Such
facilities do not work if both gen-
ders areinonehome. Baumgartn-
er saidhe mayconsider establish-
ing a home for men leaving pris-
on, but has no immediate plans
for such expansion. Right now
hes focusing on finding the mon-
ey and volunteers to open this
one as quickly as possible.
We have someone who is go-
ingtobereleasedNewYears Eve,
and will probably go to a home-
less shelter, he said.
I think the real thing we want
to get across is that we are look-

normallyfeel hopeless intheir sit-
uation.

Baumgartner also stressed the home will have strict require-
ments. For starters, no one will be eligible unless they were part
of the program in the prison and have shown a keen desire to stay
clean and sober.
May. He and his wife, Barbara, want to
preserve the chapels rich history and
market it as the perfect wedding chap-
el.
Its a phenomenal building, Barba-
ra said. We intend to dress it up and
improve the grounds.
The bell tower is missing from atop
the church, thanks to a recent storm,
but the bell still works.
The marquee that announces events
was found in some high weeds. The
Giordanos cleaned it up and had it re-
stored.
With a 20-member congregation,
other needed improvements take
time.
Our mission is to teach how to live
right before God and raise children the
right way, Giordano said. We want to
keep the chapel going to honor those
who helped it survive all these years.
The chapel can seat about 100 peo-
ple in the pews. Two rooms in the base-
ment have been renovated to serve as a
nursery and for Sunday school classes,
and the interior of the church features
the original tongue-in-groove wood-
work that adorns the walls and ceiling.
The Slocum family left the chapel to
the community. The only stipulation
was that a church service must be held
once a month (preferably once a week)
or the chapel would revert back to the
Slocum estate. The Giordanos hold
services every Sunday.
The Slocums were of the Presbyter-
ian faith. Giordano says the services
are Evangelical. The Christian Mis-
sionary Alliance held services for a
time in the chapel, he said, and a Pen-
tecostal group occupied the chapel for
many years.
For 144 years, this beautiful histor-
ical building has served as a house of
prayer, he said. By the early 1960s,
two elderly women were all that held
the building open.
Giordano said the women were local
residents who met every Sunday for an
hour for a couple of years.
They could not afford to pay the
heat or the electric bill, so in the sum-
mer and the winter they would dress
accordingly and continued to hold ser-
vices, Giordano said.
During those lean years, Giordano
said, the women contacted Pastor Ar-
thur E. Redmond, who became stew-
ard of Slocum Chapel on Nov. 5, 1965.
Under Redmonds leadership, and the
faithful congregation, Giordano said
central heating was installed, the sanc-
tuary was carpeted, electricity was up-
dated and soft cushions were put on
the pews.
More importantly, a weekly radio
broadcast was aired, Giordano said.
A weekly service was held in High-
land Manor Nursing Home, and there
were also services held at the State
Correctional Institution at Dallas.
Four services a week were held in the
chapel, and numerous weddings, fu-
nerals, baby dedications, baptisms
and special services were also held in
the chapel.
Giordano said that after many years
of dedication to Slocum Chapel, Red-
mond had to resign due to aging and
illness.
Now the torch has been passed to
Giordano, who also serves as a chap-
lain in two state prisons. The Giorda-
nos Guy, 60, and Barbara, 56 -- and
the congregation of Slocum Chapel
see it as a vibrant lighthouse for the
community.
As long as I have breath, I will give
God the glory and try to make a differ-
ence, Giordano said.

inski have made donations to
the project, and that four local
television stations have offered
all Agnes flood footage on file.
The group also has support
from 5,000 Facebook followers
on its social networking page
and has received dozens of
photos from supporters.
We decided the project has
too much historical and educa-
tional value to abandon it,
Stout said. The project is in
danger.
He said the documentary
would be about 90 minutes in
length and include film from a
licensed network and licensed
music.
The plan, Stout said, would
be to show the film to area
schools and have a premier at
the F.M. Kirby Center in
Wilkes-Barre.
The film would cost some-
where near $75,000 to com-
plete, Stout said, and with only
$4,000 accumulated thus far,
the new goal of the group is to
just finish the project.
This is disappointing for
us. Stout said. This is not
something that would have val-
ue only in 2012 (for the 40th
anniversary of the flood), but a
definitive historical documen-
tation of the flood that has a
value to generations to come.

a Monday. Many people had the
day off because Christmas fell
on Sunday.
ShopperTrak, a research firm
that monitors traffic at more
than 25,000 stores, predicted
store traffic would be up as
much as 60 percent over the
same date last year.
Target, like many other area
stores, had deep discounts on
seasonal merchandise, much of
which was marked down 50 per-
cent. That was a big draw for
customers such as Joy Hill of
Berwick, who along with her
aunt, cousin and mother
stocked up on dozens of rolls of
wrapping paper and other
Christmas decorations.
Hill spent about 10 minutes
rearranging items in her hatch-
back so she could fit the other
good buy the family found: a 46-
inch flat-screen television for
$550. They saw the same televi-
sion online for $800, Hill said.
There were lots of great deals
at the Wyoming Valley Mall as
well, shoppers said.
Krista Rubino, 29, of Pittston,
had some bragging rights for
the perfume gift set she got at
Victorias Secret.
My mother paid $50. I got it
for $24, she said.
Rubino, like many of the
shoppers interviewed Monday,
said they make the day-after-
Christmas shopping an annual
tradition.
For Kim Spraw, 32, of Scran-
ton, it was a shop-till-you-
drop kind of day.
Spraw struggled to carry her
four bags full of discounted
clothing and other items she
purchased from mall retailers
like Macys, Sears and JC Pen-
ney. She wasnt even close to
finishing her shopping, with
seven more stops to go, she
said.
Specific things I want I wait
until after Christmas because
you get better deals. If you save
more money, you can buy
more, she said.
While Spraw is a veteran
post-holiday shopper, Diane
Hall of Hanover Township was
getting her first-ever taste of
the great deals available after
Christmas as she shopped at
the mall around 10 a.m.
This is my first time and Im
loving it, Hall said.
Her 16-year-old daughter,
Amanda Fuller, was having just
as much fun.
Im probably going to hit ev-
ery store. Weve been shopping
since 8 a.m. and were not done
yet, she said.
People werent the only bene-
ficiaries of great deals, howev-
er. Several dog lovers were also
on the hunt for the perfect pre-
sent for their pooches.
Susan OConnor admitted to
being guilted into going to
the PetSmart store in the Arena
Hub Plaza to buy a new collar
for her Golden Retriever, Sul-
ley. He and his brother, Bailey,
also a Golden Retriever, were
owed something for their sacri-
fice on Christmas day, she said.
Im taking them to the park
for a walk because they got
ripped off (Sunday). We were
sitting around eating and I feel
a little bad, she said.

Moye can help
Penn St. start
its rebuilding
T
he call came down from the
coaching box upstairs, which is
where Joe Paterno was sitting
when he was still in charge of things
around Penn State.
Essentially, it was a plea for help.
Paterno wanted his best wide receiv-
er on the field for one last-gasp drive,
which meant Derek Moye was being
asked to forget about the broken bone
in his left foot and go help pull out a
win for Penn State.
Moye surged into action, making a key
first-down grab and drawing a pass in-
terference call in the end zone on the
winning touchdown drive that gave the
Lions a dramatic 10-7 victory over Illi-
nois.
It was the last game Paterno ever
won as Penn States head coach. But it
was not the first time the Lions turned
to Moye to save the day.
He burst into the Big Ten spotlight
like some sort of Penn State superhero
last season, leading the Lions with 53
catches for 885 yards and eight touch-
down receptions. Moye even rescued
the Lions against Michigan State in
2010 by forcing -- and then recovering --
a fumble during an interception return.
His numbers werent quite as impres-
sive this season, mainly because Rob
Bolden never got on the same page
with Moye. And partly because Moye, a
big-play senior from Rochester, Pa.,
missed almost three full games with a
broken bone in his foot, suffered in an
accident at home midway through his
senior season.
I wasnt satisfied at all, said Moye,
who nonetheless leads the Lions with
40 receptions for 654 yards and three
scores. Didnt make some plays when
I should have. I feel I could have had a
better season.
All the Lions do.
Upsetting to us
They finished 9-3 overall and 6-2 in
the Big Ten, missing out on an oppor-
tunity to play in the first Big Ten cham-
pionship game by dropping two of their
final three decisions. But they get a
chance to make up for it Monday
against a high-profile Houston team,
even if it happens to be in a low-profile
bowl game like the TicketCity Bowl.
We obviously wanted to be in a
bigger bowl, Moye said. But were
happy to be in any bowl.
Thats because a normally attractive
Penn State program was shunned by
most bowl committees, most of which
wanted nothing to do with a team repre-
senting a school disgraced by the child
sex abuse scandal revolving around
former Lions defensive coordinator Jerry
Sandusky.
The aftermath cost Paterno his job
and Penn State football lost a lot of
prestige.
We felt the reason we were passed on
(by bigger-name bowls) had nothing to
do with our play on the field, Moye
said. That was obviously upsetting to
us.
The Lions are going to need a big
day from him to upset Houston, an
offensive juggernaut that averages 599
yards per game, twice scored 73 points
this season and scored more than 55 in
four other games.
I like our offense, but they dont

ball game as a member of the
Big 12 was decided early.
James Franklin ran for two
touchdowns and threw for an-
other, andtheTigers easilybeat
North Carolina 41-24 in the In-
dependence Bowl on Monday
night.
Missouri
(8-5) ends
the season
on a four-
game win-
ning streak
for the first
time since
1965. The
Tigers will
join the
Southeastern Conference next
fall and showed one reason
they shouldbe a factor immedi-
ately: The 6-foot-2, 225-pound
Franklin, a sophomore who
generally did as he pleased in
both the running and passing
games.
Franklin, named the games
offensive Most Valuable Player,
rushed for 142 yards and threw
for 132 despite less than ideal
conditions in the cold and rain
at Independence Stadium. He
led the Tigers to 31 first-half
points an Independence
Bowl record.

Theres no such thing as a true
break for a hockey player.
The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton
Penguins spent the last six days
away from the ice. Many return-
ed home to spend the Christmas
holiday with their families, and
the time off carried with it a few
challenges.
Take Bran-
don DeFazio,
who went
home to Onta-
rio to spend
Christmas with
his family. After
months of strict
dieting and
high doses of
physical activ-
ity, DeFazio
found himself
in a challenging
situation at the
family dinner
table last week.
There was
plenty of good
food, but DeFa-
zio had to limit
himself be-
cause he wasnt
burning as
many calories
while on break.
Sometimes my mom was get-
ting mad at me because I wasnt
eating everything she was mak-
ing, DeFazio said. But you real-
ly have to monitor what you eat.
Thats the life we live.
In addition to watching his
diet, Geoff Walker made sure to
stay active during the break and
do whatever he could to stay in
shape.
He skated once and went to yo-
ga classes several times over the
week.
Just anything to kind of
stretch and stay loose, Walker
said. Its important to keep ac-
tiveduringthebreak, whileat the
same time relax a little bit so you
get recharged for the second
half.
Even head coach John Hynes
took a cautious approach with

Pittston Areas Shaun McDermott, left, shoots as Hanover Areas Jacob Barber goes for the block
in the opening game of the McGrane Tournament at the Wilkes-Barre CYC on Monday night.
day.
Adrian has a great work ethic.
Adrian has the DNA to heal
quickly, which he has shown in
the past. He certainly will have
the desire and the mental tough-
ness to be able to get through the
rehab process, which will take
months and months, as you
know. So, I think if anyone can
get better quickly and safely in
that time period, it would be
Adrian Peterson.
Peterson tore his ACL and
MCL when he was hit in the side
of the knee by Washington Red-
skins safety DeJon Gomes in the
third quarter of Saturdays 33-26
win at Washington. An MRI on
Saturday evening revealed the
ligament tears and meniscus
damage, andPetersonwill under-
go surgery within the next seven
to 10 days.
Backup Toby Gerhart, who
started three games earlier this
season when Peterson was out
with a high ankle sprain, will
start Sunday in the season-finale
against the Chicago Bears. A sec-
ond-round pick in 2010, Gerhart
has filled in well for Peterson and
notched the first 100-yard rush-
ing game of his career with 109
yards on 11 carries Saturday. But
the Vikings expect Gerharts time
as the starter to be short-lived.
He sets his goals extremely
high and hes one of those guys
who, when he puts his mind to it,
theres no reason to ever doubt
that he can achieve what he sets
his mind to, Minnesota coach
Leslie Frazier said of Peterson.
Were looking forward to his at-
tacking this rehab like hes at-
tacked every offseason, to come
back and play and be even better
than he was before. I know with
Eric andour medical staff, theyre
going to do everything they can
to get him back on the field and
ready to go when we line up in
that first football game next sea-
son.
Gerharts emergence over the
past month at least offers opti-
mism if Peterson has to miss ex-
tended time next season.
Gerhart has had the top three
rushing days of his career in the
past four weeks. On his first carry
after Peterson left Saturdays
game, Gerhart showed some big-
play ability of his own, busting
free for a 67-yard run, the longest
of his short career.
Believing Peterson will be
ready for the first game of 2012
and knowing Gerhart is available
if needed, Frazier said the team
wouldnt change its run-first of-
fensive approach.
One of things about Adrians
absence earlier in the season, we
hadachancetoget Tobysomeex-
tended snaps and we really
havent altered the offense by any
means, Frazier said. Toby has
done a very good job in Adrians
absence. Did a great job (Satur-
day) of stepping in and perform-
ing and rushing for over 100
yards. So we really havent had to
alter things. We really dont plan
to. We look forward to eventually
getting Adrian back on the field,
but we dont think we have to re-
ally alter the offense.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. Rick
Pitino says No. 4 Louisville
isnt playing good basketball.
The Cardinals have had to
rally to win in their last three
games, most recently against
Western Kentucky.
But if everyone on Pitinos
squad was performing like
sophomores Gorgui Dieng
and Russ Smith, the coachs
outlook might be more posi-
tive heading into a stretch
that includes a Big East Con-
ference opener against No. 16
Georgetown and a rivalry
game against third-ranked
Kentucky.
Dieng has five straight dou-
ble-doubles, and Smiths reac-
hed double figures in each of
Louisvilles last four games to
position the Cardinals (12-0)
within a game of matching
their best start in program
history.
He does things that I
havent seen done before, Pi-
tino said of Smith, a Brook-
lyn, N.Y., shooting guard lim-
ited by foot and knee injuries
last season. I think because
where Russ grew up, you can
understand why he doesnt
have much to fear. He was ve-
ry happy and relieved just to
get home at the end of the
night. A basketball game is
not going to make him nerv-
ous.
Add in Dieng, the 6-foot-11
center Pitino called a one-
man wrecking crew inside,
and the Cardinals appear
poised to best three Louisville
teams from the 1960s and
1970s that each started 13-0.
The duo cant do it alone, as
Pitino on Friday mentioned
Peyton Siva he has more
turnovers than points in
Louisvilles last two games
among those who need to im-
prove.
After a close call against the
Hilltoppers, Siva said, Russ
Smith saved us again.
Smith scored 23 points off
the bench in a 70-60 win over
Western Kentucky on Friday
night, with seven of those
points coming during a 14-0
run in the second half that
pushed Louisville to the lead
for good. The performance in-
cluded four turnovers, indica-
tive of Smiths reckless style,
but he finished a point shy of
his career high reached Dec.
17 against Memphis.
I guess its just good luck
when I come in, Smith said.
If when I come in the game is
stagnant, then I try to get a
big steal. Get a steal, layup,
make a 3-pointer and change
the game. I try to do whatever
I can to help the team.
Smith (10.5 points per
game) and Dieng (10.8 points,
10.2 rebounds per game) were
also instrumental in last Tues-
days comeback win over the
College of Charleston, adding
double figure games to Kyle
Kurics team-high 17 points.
Gorgui and Russ played
like men possessed, Pitino
said after the game.
Its somewhat of a surprise
that both Dieng and Smith are
playing for Louisville at all
with Smith getting little play-
ing time his first year and
Dieng needing to win an ap-
peal with the NCAA to be-
come eligible following his se-
nior year at Huntington Prep
in West Virginia.

Softball and volleyball -- and
now bowling -- senior Jade Du-
dley has to rank as one of the
more versatile athletes in Coppin
State University history.
Dudley (Crestwood) put her
name in the re-
cord book for
her softball play
withtheEagles.
She ranks sec-
ond all-time in
home runs (16)
and her .283 ca-
reer batting av-
erage is 10th all-
time. Shes fourth in runs (64),
hits (101), doubles (18) and runs
batted in (53). She was a first-
team Mid-East Athletic Confer-
ence choice in 2010.
Dudley played two seasons of
volleyball (2008-09) and finished
with 291 digs, 136 kills, 37 assists
and 32 service aces.
Now, its bowling and Dudley
has foundherself doing the job on
the lanes. She recently competed
in the MEAC Northern Division
Championships andposteda five-
game total of 702 with a pair of
199 games in the mix. And, she
helped the Eagles defeat Howard
in a Baker scoring match for their
first league victory in two sea-
sons.
Jade has steadily improved
this season and has been a huge
help to the team, coach Wendell
Burke said. She is a strong per-
sonality and she has been very
supportive of her teammates. She
is a competitor and wants to win,
and feels badly when she doesnt
perform up to her standards.
Burke believes that Dudley can
only get better the remainder of
the season.
Jade has really gotten into
bowling this year and Ive seen a
real transformation in the way
she approaches the game, the
coach said.
The Eagles return to action in
the Bowie Invitational on Jan. 21-
22 in Bowie, Md.
FAZZINI A KEY RESERVE
Junior Adam Fazzini (Crest-
wood) has seen action in all nine
games off the benchfor the Stone-
hill mens basketball team, which
is 7-2 overall and 5-2 in North-
east-10 Conference play.
Fazzini, a 6-foot-7, 195-pound
guard, is averaging 7.0 points per
game and has hit 16 of 31 3-point
attempts (51.6). Hes also averag-
ing 3.9 rebounds with seven
steals and five assists.
Fazzini had15 points in a 72-59
victory over UMass-Lowell, 14
points in a 75-53 triumph over St.
Michaels and12 points in a 79-64
victory over Queens, N.Y.
Adamtruly defines what a stu-
dent-athlete is all about, coach
David McLaughlin said. He
takes pride in his academics and
makes that his priority and pos-
sesses a great work ethic and ap-
proach to getting better on the
basketball court. He committed
to getting better last spring and
maintained that commitment by
staying on campus this summer.
He put in numerous hours in the
gymand weight room. We always
tell our guys not to miss a day in
the summer and I can honestly
say that I dont think Adam mis-
sed too many workouts.
McLaughlin believes that Faz-
zini has a great feel for the game
at both ends of the floor.
He has done a better job of let-
ting the game come to him, the
coach said. He has the ability to
play multiple positions and has
really taken strides as a defend-
er.
GOOD START FOR PISANO
Freshman Anthony Pisano
(Hanover Area) has been a solid
performer for the Marywood
mens swim team.
Pisano ranks seventh in the 50
free (22.58 seconds) and 10th in
the 100 free (50.94 seconds) on
the Landmark Conference per-
formance list. Both are school
records. He has already qualified
for the ECAC Championships in
the 200 medley relay and he won
nine individual races during the
first semester.
We look for Anthony to con-
tinue to get faster as we get
closer to the league champion-
ships, coach Greg Brown said.
He has the ability to finish high
on the podium in both the 50
and 100 free, as well as helping
multiple relays. Id like to see
him qualify for the ECACs in the
50 and 100 as well.
Sophomore Michael Legath
(Bishop Hafey) is also a member
of the squad, and competes in
the 100 and 200 breaststroke, as
well with the 200 free and 200
medley relay teams.
HOOK LEADS THE WAY
Sophomore Justine Hook of
Berwick (Columbia-Montour
Vo-Tech) is the leading scorer on
the Bay Path womens basketball
team.
The 5-foot-7 guard is averag-
ing 16.8 points and has hit 15 of
35 3-point baskets (42.9). She
also has 27 rebounds, 11 assists
and eight steals.
Hook had a game-high 21
points and 12 rebounds in 40
minutes of action in a 45-43
victory over Wheelock in the
New England Collegiate Confer-
ence opener for both teams. The
Wildcats are 1-4 overall and
return to action in a home
league contest against Elms on
Saturday, Jan. 7, in Longmead-
ow, Mass.
LATE START FOR KING
Junior Clarissa King (Nanti-
coke) is competing in the 100
free and the 100 and 200 breast-
stroke for the East Stroudsburg
womens swim team. She also is
part of the 200 and 400 freestyle
and 200 medley relay squads.
Clarissa just started with us
in September (she was a transfer
student) after being away from
swimming for three years,
coach Lisa Pizzuto said. She
spent the first segment of the
season getting back into swim-
ming shape. She is a dedicated,
hard-worker, so we are looking
for her to really accelerate her
progress in the next semester.
Pizzuto calls King a great
team motivator.
Shes so enthusiastic about
everything she does, the coach
said.
The Warriors return to the
pool Saturday, Jan. 7 at the Key
West Invitational in Key West,
Fla.
YOHEY SMOOTH IN POOL
Sophomore Jenna Yohey (Ber-
wick) competes in the 100 and
200 butterfly for the Bloomsburg
womens swim team. She also
scores points in the 50 and 100
freestyle, and with the 400 free
relay.
Jenna has a great first half,
coach Stu Marvin said. She
trains exceptionally well and has
one of the smoothest butterfly
strokes on the team.
Yohey just missed making the
PSAC cut in the 100 fly at the
Zippy Invitational in Akron,
Ohio. She came up .37 seconds
short after finishing in 1:01.54 --
which was a personal best and a
two-second improvement over
last season. She missed the
PSAC time in the 100 free by .86
seconds with a 55.91 effort.
After our training trip to
Florida (Jan. 2-12), she will be in
a great position to make both
cuts at our next meet (Jan. 21
against East Stroudsburg).
CLEMENTS BOUNCING
BACK After being injured the
past two seasons, junior Liz
Clements (Hanover Area) is
back competing with the Ithaca
womens swim team. Shes
swimming the breaststroke and
butterfly for the Bombers.
Liz is a wonderful and sup-
portive team member who is
constantly displaying the qual-
ities of a good leader, coach
Paul Miller said. She is gradual-
ly increasing her work load to
avoid future injuries. She takes
responsibility not only for her
rehab, but what shes able to do
in the water. When shes not able
to swim, she is devoted to doing
dry-land and strengthening
exercises for her shoulders.
Clements, a biology major, is
doing the job in the class room
as well.
She is able to budget her
time properly between the aca-
demic and athletic rigors here at
Ithaca, Miller said. I feel very
fortunate to have the opportuni-
ty to work with Liz. She has
been an excellent addition to the
Bomber family.
DYMOND HAS POTENTIAL
Freshman Steph Dymond
(Tunkhannock) is competing
with the Indiana (Pa.) womens
swim team. Her main events are
freestyles, and she has a 29.73
clocking in the 50 free to date.
Steph is doing a great job and
has a bright future in our confer-
ence and on our team, coach
Chris Villa said. College swim-
ming has been an adjustment for
her but she has the potential to
be a scorer at our conference
meet in the future.
The Crimson Hawks return to
action Jan. 10 against Nova
Southeastern in Fort Lauder-
dale, Fla.

a lopsided loss. The Tar Heels
lost five of their final seven un-
der interim coach Everett With-
ers, who leaves to become de-
fensive coordinator at Ohio
State under Urban Meyer.
Defense buckles
North Carolina had the Atlan-
tic Coast Conferences second-
best rushing defense, giving up
just 106.2 yards per game. But
the Tigers found plenty of run-
ning room with Franklin and
Kendial Lawrence, repeatedly
gashing the Tar Heels for big
gains.
Lawrence rushed for 108
yards and a touchdown as the
Tigers racked up 337 yards on
the ground.
NorthCarolinas poor defense
wasted a productive game by
quarterback Bryn Renner, who
threwfor 317 yards, three touch-
downs and an interception.
Missouris mascot Truman
the Tiger shattered most of
the original Independence Bowl
trophy before the game started
in a pre-game accident. The Ti-
gers were more than happy to
claim the replacement.
North Carolina scored first,
with Renner hitting Dwight
Jones for a 22-yard touchdown
pass with 12:12 left in the first
quarter. That would be the high
point for the Tar Heels.
Missouri responded with a
40-yard touchdown pass from
receiver T.J. Moe to Wes Kemp
after a lateral from Franklin.
Moe hadnt thrown a touch-
down pass since his days as a
high school quarterback in sub-
urban St. Louis, and it was just
his second complete pass of the
season.
TIGERS
his players some of whom
drove back into town that day,
with Mondays practice at the
Mohegan Sun Arena.
To accommodate those play-
ers who drove in that day, he
moved practice back to 4 p.m.
And even then, they didnt
hit the ice right away.
We did a pretty long off-ice
routine just to warm up the
bodies so theyre not jumping
onto the ice cold, Hynes said.
We started practice later and
spent the first 10 minutes just
feeling the puck and not having
guys go full speed.
Theyll go full speed tonight,
when the Penguins host the
Hershey Bears in the first of a
back-to-back series which con-
cludes Wednesday in Hershey.
The prospect of two games in
two days against their East Di-
vision rivals is enough to get
the competitive juices flowing
for the Penguins after a long
layoff. Add the fact that Her-
shey currently sits ahead of the
Penguins by two points for first
place in the division, and the
pair of games will provide plen-
ty of motivation.
Right back into it. I like it,
Walker said. We always get up
big for games against Her-
shey.
The Penguins are 4-1-0-1
against the Bears this season,
but they arent taking their suc-
cess for granted. Walker said
its important for the Penguins
to play a sound game tonight
against the Bears. If they dont,
Hershey has enough firepower
to light up the scoresheet in a
hurry.
They can burn you every
single time if you dont play the
right way, he said.
DeFazio said having back-to-
back games right after the
break will be a challenge, but
facing the rival Bears makes it
easy to get back into the swing
of things.
Its two days and youll feel
great again, DeFazio said. Id
rather do this than have one
game and wait three days for
another.
Its going to be a battle
against Hershey it is every
time we play them whether its
back-to-back, a week apart or a
month apart. We play each oth-
er a ton and its always an im-
portant game on our schedule.
BEARS
RALEIGH, N.C. Cam Ward

with a bizarre empty-net goal,
leading the Carolina Hurricanes
past the New Jersey Devils 4-2
on Monday night.
Brandon Sutter had a short-
handed goal, Tuomo Ruutu and
Anthony Stewart scored in the
second period, and Tim Gleason
and Tim Brent each had two
assists for the Hurricanes.
Wards first career goal came
at the end of a strange sequence.
Ilya Kovalchuks errant pass for
Adam Henrique from the end
line wound up going the length
of the ice and into an empty net
with 29.4 seconds left.
Officials initially awarded the
goal to Sutter before a postgame
review determined he never
touched the puck.
David Clarkson had a goal and
an assist for New Jersey. He and
Henrique scored in the third
period and Johan Hedberg made
30 saves for the Devils, who had
won seven of nine.

game, scored in the second and
third periods for the surging
Rangers (22-8-4) the Atlantic
Division leaders, who leap-
frogged defending Stanley Cup
champion Boston into first place
in the Eastern Conference.
The Rangers finished a 3-0
homestand that included a pair
of victories over the Islanders in
a five-day span. New Yorks past
four victories have been against
division rivals. The Rangers

ington on Wednesday that will
conclude with the outdoor Win-

ter a 25-point loss at then-No. 17
Georgetown on Wednesday. The
Hoyas moved up two spots to

C O L L E G E B A S K E T B A L L
Polls unchanged as Baylor,
Syracuse stay atop charts
WASHINGTON Kris Hum-
phries shrugged off loud booing
to finish with 21 points and 16
rebounds, and Deron Williams
had 23 points, eight rebounds
and eight assists, helping the
New Jersey Nets beat the Wash-
ington Wizards 90-84 Monday
night in the season opener for
both teams.
The Nets trailed by as many
as 21 points in the second quar-
ter, but began to turn things
around with a 16-2 run. John
Wall, the No. 1 overall pick in
the 2010 draft, had 13 points,
eight rebounds and six assists,
but he only shot 3 for 13.
Backup shooting guard Nick
Young led Washington with 16
points in just 18 minutes. He
missed a large part of the sec-
ond half after jamming his left
foot, but returned.
Raptors 104, Cavaliers 96
CLEVELAND Rookie Kyrie
Irving scored six points and
hardly played like the No. 1
overall pick as the Toronto Rap-
tors spoiled the Cleveland
guards NBA debut.
Irving, who played just 11
games at Duke before turning
pro, finished just 2 of 11 from
the field he made a meaning-
less 3-pointer in the final min-
utes with seven assists and
one turnover in 26 minutes. The
Cavs are counting on the 19-
year-old to turn around a team
that won just 19 games last
season.
Bobcats 96, Bucks 95
CHARLOTTE, N.C. D.J.
Augustin scored 19 points, roo-
kie Kemba Walker added 13,
including two free throws with
9.9 seconds remaining, and the
Charlotte Bobcats erased a
14-point deficit to beat the Mil-
waukee Bucks.
Pacers 91, Pistons 79
INDIANAPOLIS Roy Hib-
bert had 16 points and 14 re-
bounds to help the Indiana
Pacers defeat the Detroit Pis-
tons in the season opener for
both teams at the renamed
Bankers Life Fieldhouse.
Jonas Jerebko and Rodney
Stuckey each scored 17 points
for the Pistons, who never led.
Magic 104, Rockets 95
ORLANDO, Fla. Hedo
Turkoglu scored 23 points to
lead five Magic players in dou-
ble figures as Orlando earned its
first victory of the season.
Orlando got 13 points from
Turkoglu and eight points from
J.J. Redick in the fourth quarter
to help the Magic stave off a
handful of second-half charges
by the Rockets.
Thunder 104, Twolves 100
MINNEAPOLIS Kevin
Durant scored 33 points to lead
the Oklahoma City Thunder to
a victory over the Minnesota
Timberwolves.
Kevin Love had 22 points, 12
rebounds and five assists, and
Ricky Rubio had an impressive
debut with six assists, six points
and five rebounds in 26 minutes
for the Timberwolves.
Rockets sign C Dalembert
HOUSTON The Houston
Rockets have signed free-agent
center Samuel Dalembert.
The 6-foot-11 Dalembert
agreed to a multi-year contract
last week.
Dalembert averaged 8.1 points
and 8.2 rebounds for Sacra-
mento last season. He played
his first eight seasons in Phila-
delphia after the 76ers made
him a first-round (26th overall)
pick in 2001.

POLICE BLOTTER
Rabies is no joke: once you show
symptoms of the viral disease,
its invariably fatal. But if you
suffer a bite or scratch, you can
protect yourself from that and
other infections by acting quick-
ly, says Valerie Thompson, envi-
ronmental health supervisor of
the rabies program for the Vir-
ginia Beach, Va., Department of
Public Health. Report all bites
and go to your doctor, Thomp-
son says.
More tips:
Clean the wound immediately.
Wash it with lots of warm, soapy
water to kill viruses and bacteria,
and apply an antiseptic solution
for extra protection. Do this even
if a bite or scratch is very small.
Seek emergency care if a wound
is deep or bleeding heavily.
Quickly report attacks by wild
animals ... Animals that are
aggressive or agitated enough to
approach you have a good
chance of being rabid. Call your
local public health department
for advice, which likely will in-
volve getting a series of anti-
rabies vaccines.
... and strays. If you dont recog-
nize a dog or cat, call the health
department and animal control
with as many details as possible
on the animals appearance and
location; if it can be caught and
stays healthy during a 10-day
quarantine period, you may not
need treatment. Note: Cats are
more likely to be rabid than
dogs, so report scratches too.
Check paperwork on neighbor-
hood pets. You may not want to
report an incident if you know
the animal and its owners, but
dont just accept rabies tags as
proof of vaccination they may
have expired. Ask to see current
documents from a vet; state laws
require rabies shots every three
years.
Watch the wound for infection.
Aside from the rabies issue, call
a doctor about swelling and
redness, including red streaks on
surrounding skin, and pus or
cloudy discharge.

The growing worldwide
obesity epidemic has been
blamedona number of factors,
but a study argues that it may
be inexorably linked with
wealthy nations and their fast-
food restaurants.
Researchers compared the
number of fast-food restau-
rants per capita in26countries
listed as advanced economies
by the International Monetary
Fund. They used one chain
(Subway) as a proxy measure;
at the end of 2010 the chain re-
portedly had the most restau-
rants worldwide.
Countries with the highest
density of restaurants per cap-
ita were the U.S. and Canada:
7.52 and 7.43 per 100,000 peo-
ple, respectively. In the U.S.
the prevalence of obesity for
men and women is about 32
percent, while in Canada its
about 23 percent.
Japan, however, has far few-

resolutions come rolling in. Eighty percent of these will focus on getting fit, training for a
marathon, losing weight and various other things that screamhealth. These are all good
resolutions and worthy of your time. But if youre looking to find some easy (and were talking
easy) ways to get healthy, read on:
1. Eat vegetables. We all know this
one and have heard it from every
mother since the dawn of time. Weve
also promptly ignored it. Im here to
tell youthat it doesnt matter howyou
eat those vegetables: steamed, baked,
broiled, grilled, juiced, raw or even
covered with chocolate. Really. If you
canfindalovefor veggies bymakinga
Nutella and raw veggie fondue every
night, go for it.
2. Go organic. Sure, organics are
supported agriculture, and its the
newhip thing to do. Basically youpay
a local farmer upfront, so that youcan
get a box full of local and, ideally, or-
ganic fresh fruits and vegetables.
Whats great about this is that youre
eating foods that are grown in your
backyardandnot shippedfromacross
the globe. Youre also supporting
farmers, which is just cool no matter
pricier, but this is our body, people!
Your body, your mind, your hair, your
organs, your life. Seriously, if youre
spending more money on premium
gas for your car or paying extra to
have every cable channel, you need to
double-check your priorities. Organic
foods are simply better for you. And
the extra moneyis a small price topay
for making an immediate improve-
ment to your health.

0.13 per 100,000 people, and a
far lower obesity rate: 2.9 per-
cent for men and 3.3 percent for
women. Similarly, Norway has
0.19 restaurants per 100,000
people and an obesity rate of 6.4
percent for men and 5.9 percent
for women.
The researchers, who empha-
size that the findings show cor-
relation and not causality, con-
trolled for various factors such
as thenumber of peoplelivingin
urban areas, income, Internet
use andthe number of motor ve-
hicles per capita.
Obesity is often linked with
environmental factors as well as
genetic ones. The popularity of
sugary drinks, the loss of phys-
ical education in school, more
sedentary jobs and extra time
spent in front of computers and
television have been blamed, as
well as certain genes that may
affect how our bodies process
food.
In my opinion the public de-
bate is too much focused on in-
dividual genetics andother indi-
vidual factors, andoverlooks the
global forces in society that are
shaping behaviors worldwide,
said lead author Roberto De Vo-
gli of the University of Michigan
School of Public Health in a
news release. If you look at
trends over time for obesity, its
shocking.
The study was published in
the December issue of the jour-
nal Critical Public Health.

howyou look at it. An added bo-
nus is that youll be supplied
with produce you would proba-
bly never buy on your own, al-
lowing you to expand your pal-
ette and eat healthy at the same
time. Did you know that there
are some lettuces that are hot
and spicy? Join a CSA and find
out all about them.
4. KISS. You know that say-
ing: Keep it simple, stupid. Well,
moving forward, this is how our
healthy lifestyle should be. This
means a few things. First, keep
your meals simple with just a
fewingredients no more than
five. Second, instead of cooking
various meals for all your family
members because Johnny
doesnt like this, and Mary
wants that, just cook one meal
and introduce your family to a
Lazy Susan covered with condi-
ments, herbs and spices. Your
kids can doctor up their meal all
they want. And thirdly, always
cook one meal in anticipation
that it will be usedagain(maybe
for breakfast or lunch tomor-
row).
5. Supersize it. That doesnt
mean opt for the supersize por-
tion at the drive-thru; that
means start picking up some of
the super foods that are out
there waiting for youto discover
them. According to WebMD,
Imagine a superfood not a
drug powerful enough to
help you lower your cholesterol,
reduce your risk of heart disease
andcancer, and, for anaddedbo-
nus, put you in a better mood.
Did we mention that there are
no side effects? Youd surely
stock up on a lifetime supply.
Guess what? These life-altering
superfoods are available right
nowin your local supermarket.
Sowhat are they? Beans, blue-
berries, broccoli, oats, oranges,
pumpkin, salmon, soy, spinach,
tea (green or black), tomatoes,
turkey, walnuts and yogurt. Bet
you have some of those in your
fridge right now.
Becoming healthy doesnt
have to mean becoming over-
whelmed. Keeping things sim-
ple and easy is really a good
place to start. Just buy local
fresh food (organic if possible)
and then simply cook it and eat.
Yum!

DETROITAt16yearsold,SarahBardenwas
using OxyContin, cocaine, Ecstasy, heroin, mari-
juanaandstill goingtoWalledLakeCentral High
School.Shelied,stole,cheatedandtriedtomanip-
ulateeverybody, but mostlyher parents.
My daughter convinced me that she didnt
have a problem, said Jeannie Barden, Sarahs
mother. By the time I thought something was
goingon, I wasalreadylate. WhenI thought she
was drinkingandsmokingpot, shewas already
doingcocaine andpoppingpills.
Dealingwithher daughters addictionwas like
going throughhell, Bardensaid. But withhelp,
Sarahisnowinrecovery.ShewastreatedatHenry
Ford Maplegrove Center in West Bloomfield,
Mich., andhas beencleanfor threeyears.
Barden, 55, of West Bloomfieldis nowtrying
tohelpothers avoidthesamemistakes that she
made in missing the signs of addiction in her
daughter. She volunteers at Maplegrove, shar-
ing her story and offering tips to parents with
children who have substance-abuse problems
at a time when the number of young people
usingdrugs is ontherise, accordingtothe2010
National SurveyonDrugUse andHealth.
In 2011, 50 percent of high school seniors re-
portedhavingtriedanillicit drugat sometime,
the report stated, and 40 percent used one or
more drugs inthe past12months.
Few are getting treatment. More than 23 mil-
lion Americans ages 12 and older needed some
sortoftreatmentfordrugoralcoholuseproblems,
accordingtothenational survey. But only2.6mil-
lionpeoplereceivedtreatment. Bardenofferstips
forparents, sayingthesearethethingsshewished
shehadknownwhenher daughter was younger:
Getyourchildtestedassoonasyoususpect

Sarahstarteddrinkingandsmokingmarijua-
na in middle school. She moved on to prescrip-
tionpills, whichis typical.
The minute you have a suspicion, go imme-
diatelyandseekhelpandget adrugtestingkit,
Bardensaid.
Thekids whododrugs might surpriseyou.
Sarah used to buy drugs at an abandoned
house inDetroit.
One thing that was strange was going there
and seeing half of your high school class in a
dope house, Sarahsaid. That was weird. Peo-
ple you would never imagine seeing in a crack
house. There were popular kids. The jock kids.
Fromanysocial clique there was.
Get counselingtolearnhowtodeal withan
addictedchild.
Bythetimetheproblemgetsdrastic, youare
insaneyourself, Bardensaid. Theyneedhelp,
butyoualsoneedhelp. Wecantfixituntilweget
help. The thing I realized was, the more I got
help, the more I couldhelpher.
IntheWyomingValley, therearefree, weekly
support groups heldat several locations tohelp
parents insituations suchas this.
Youare not alone.
Ithinksomeparentsareafraidorashamedof
going to these meetings because they think no-
body is like them, Barden said. Most of the
time, you dont tell anybody. You are ashamed.
Youare embarrassed.
Pickthe right moment for conversations.
Never talk to them or accuse them when
they are stoned, Barden said. They only get
crazy. Irememberonenight, Ipickedherupand
she was blatantly stoned. We drove straight to
Meijer andpickedupadrugtest. Of course, she
went crazywhenwewent home. Thenext time
it happened, I waited until the next morning.
Little bylittle, youlearndifferent things.
For the longest time, no matter what Barden
did, Sarahs addictionkept gettingworse.
Barden took her daughter to therapy three
times, but eachtime it failed.
Idrovehertomeetings,Bardensaid. Shesaw
twotherapistsatonepoint. Idrovehertoherurine
tests. It wasmywholelife, tryingtomakesureshe
wasdoingall thethingssheneededtodo.
Sarah is 5-foot-5 and normally weighs 125 to
130 pounds. But she dropped to 90 pounds
while usingdrugs.
Shesupportedherhabitbystealingandusing
otherpeoplesdrugs. Iwouldsteal fromanyone
andeveryoneelse,Sarahsaid, butIneverstole
frommyparents.
Set rules andconsequences.
Sarahsaidherparentshadrulesbutshedidnt
face serious consequences, at least at first.
I madeit throughschool onlywiththehelpof
mymomdoingmyschool workforme,shesaid.
Shewasgoodat keepingmylifetogetherforme,
until sherealizedthat was keepingmesick.
Sarah actually liked some of her mothers
punishments. WhenI wouldfail adrugtest, Id
be grounded for two weeks and during those
twoweeks, mymomandI wouldgoshopping,
Sarahsaid. Wedgoouttoeat. Itwaslikeagood
break frommy crazy lifestyle. I got to chill out,
hangoutwithmymomandgoshopping. Whats
badabout that?
RobinWalsh, a therapist at Maplegrove, said
thisisacommonproblem. Manyparentsdonot
set limits or boundaries. Inorder for the client
to get better, the whole family needs to get bet-
ter, Walsh said. Parents have denial and want
tobelieve their child.
OnethingthatBardenlearnedatMaplegrove
was toput rules inwriting.
If youhaveachildandyouknowtheyhavea
problem, youhavetohavewhat wecall afamily
contract, Walsh said. There are specific rules
andguidelinestofollowinthehouse. Ifyouhave
it in writing, it holds the parent accountable as
well as the child.
If a child breaks the contract, it is important
for a parent totake awayprivileges.
There are some basic things that we are ex-
pected to provide for our child: shelter, clothes
andget themtoschool, Walshsaid. Anything
else is a privilege a car, cell phone. Take it
away. Hit themwhere it hurts.
As hardas it is, youhavetosticktothecon-
sequences.
Emboldened with courage and advice she
learned at parent meetings, Barden kicked her
daughter out of the house after she broke some
of the house rules. Barden held firm and
wouldnt let her return.
This was a monumental change for Barden,
whohadalways let Sarahcome back.
ThelasttimethatIleft, Iknewshemeantit,
Sarahsaid.
Sarahhit rockbottom.
It was the first time that I felt nothing and
didntcare,Sarahsaid. Iknewmymommeant
business. It sucked. She actually did what the
people in those programs told her to do. And I
hated that. My mother had started to change.
She stoppedfallingfor mycrap.
Sarah said she called her mother nonstop
for three days. And she wouldnt pick up the
phone. She wouldnt showsympathy. Before, I
could play her however I wanted. I could come
back whenever I wanted. But she wantednoth-
ing to do with me anymore. It didnt take long
formetodosomethingaboutit. Ididnthavethe
comfycushiontofall backonanymore.
Sarah entered treatment, this time wanting
helpandturnedher life around.
Its never over.
Now21and clean for three years, Sarah con-
tinues to attend support groups, preferring Al-
coholics Anonymous.
Jeannie attends Families Anonymous and
she keeps a close eye onher daughter.
If her attitude changes, Ill ask her if shes
been to a meeting, Barden said. It tells her,
Oh, youare not soundingright tome.
Sarahwantstogotocollegeandstartacareer.
I want to do something witha nonprofit, help-
ing other people who are in situations that I
faced, she said.
Ivecompletelychanged. I wasaliar, athief. I
was meanbackthentoeveryone. Now, if I tell a
lie, I have to admit it right away because I feel
guilty. Ihaveaconscience. Backthen, Ididntreal-
izehowmuchI was hurtingother people.
Andnow, Sarahisurgingparentstohelptheir
children.
The best advice I could give parents is let
your kids face consequences, she said. Dont
try to cover it up. You dont have to be embar-
rassedabout what your kidis goingthrough.

MINNEAPOLIS A ballet-
inspired barre workout has
been sweeping the nation.
Its popularity is driven by
women wanting to achieve a
dancers physique and strength
withor without tutus andbal-
let slippers.
At Align Pilates in Minneapo-
lis, noses drip with sweat, mus-
cles quiver with exhaustion, and
Beyonce blares from the speak-
ers as class instructor Adrienne
Fitzmaurice affirms what every-
one is thinking:
Yes, this is hard! she hollers,
encouraging the women to
pulse or make tiny move-
ments and hold each pose for
just three, five or 10 more sec-
onds. Especially if this is your
first class ... you probably think
this is crazy!
Crazy hard, anyway. Thats
the verdict reached in the dress-
ing room following the 60-min-
ute class where a combinationof
Pilates, yoga and ballet move-
ments, along with bursts of car-
dio and the use of a ballet barre
for support and resistance pro-
vides a high-energy, full-body
workout.
Everyones been talking
about getting their butts kicked
in barre class, said Sarah Pepin,
35, Minneapolis. Ive never
worked every muscle that way
before. I could hardly walk the
next day.
Barre is abuzz in the U.S., but
the idea originatedinLondon50
years ago with famous German
dancer Lotte Berk. The method
was refined in the United States
in the 1970s, and since then, fit-
ness enthusiasts on the East and
West Coasts, as well as celebri-
ties like Madonna have caught
on.
Inthe last year alone, at least a
half-dozen barre programs have
launched in the Twin Cities,
mostly by women who experi-
enced the workout elsewhere.
Rachel Warford wanted to move
backtothe Midwest, but was un-
able to find the barre classes she
had loved in NewYork. So in No-
vember, she and sister-in-law
Paula Warford opened the Barre
in downtown Wayzata, Minn.
The same month, Tina Dun-
lap opened Balanced Barre and
Pilates just a block away.
Dunlap, an avid marathonerB
andtriathlete, hadher first barre
experience last January in Cali-
fornia and became addicted.
It was the most challenging
exercise Ive ever done in my
life, she said. Id planned on
running home from class and
had to have my husband pick me
up because I was so exhausted.
Several national franchises
have formulated barre work-
outs, but independent studios
often follow the original Lotte
Berk Method or create their
own. Some are more cardio-
based, while others focus more
on dance elements, but the prin-
ciples are the same.
Barre class typically starts
with stretching and a warm-up
on a yoga mat to get the heart
rate up, then incorporates a
combinationof Pilates, yoga and
ballet movements to sculpt and
tone every muscle in the body.
Its basically a series of tiny iso-
metric movements that cause
the muscles toshake tothe point
of exhaustion.
Oh, yeah, and close attention
must be paid to your posture
and alignment, which the in-
structor often checks during
class.
At Align Pilates, cardio is add-
ed to the barre workout, making
it the most rigorous class of-
fered, and the most popular. The
classes are heavily populated
with women in their 20s and
30s, but the men who show up
are usually surprised by how
challenging the workout is.
I was a sweaty mess by the
end, said Ryan Brown, 32, Min-
neapolis. Proathletes use ballet
to work on their strength, bal-
ance and core, so I thought Id
give it a try.
For people who are less fit, its
easy to make modifications
while keeping up with the class.
Participants are encouraged to
work at their own pace.
Yoga attire is suggested for
barre class, or other form-fitting
clothes so that the class instruc-
tor can check for correct body
position. Class participants
wear socks or go barefoot, but
serious dancers prefer to wear
ballet slippers and leotards in
some classes.
Ballet Royale in Lakeville,
Minn., has added barre fitness
classes to cross-train ballet stu-
dents and adults mostly
moms of students who want
to learn the basics of ballet. The
classes incorporate core Pilates
exercises, but the focus is on
proper ballet techniques. Classi-
cal music plays and everyone
wears ballet slippers.
The YWCA-Uptown also of-
fers a dance-centric barre class.
Participants range from18 to 70
years old and many are former
dancers.
I used to dance as a kid and I
get to relive those days in barre
class, saidTivi Radder, 35, Min-
neapolis. It makes me nostalgic
for my childhood. Its a really
great workout, too. Thats the ic-
ing on the cake.

Self-tanning products might
be keeping women from hitting
the beach and tanning beds and
courtingdangerous UVradiation
exposure, a study finds.
A study released online Mon-
day in the Archives of Dermatol-
ogy surveyed 415 women about
their use of self-tanners and how
often they tanned under the sun
or in tanning beds in the previ-
ous year, plus their attitudes to-
ward tanned skin.
While some health experts
hail self-tanners as a safer alter-
native than tanning via the sun
and beds, others worry that us-
ing the product compels people
to seek out those conventional
and harmful methods more of-
ten.
Among the women surveyed,
48.4 percent used self-tanning
products at least once in the pre-
vious year. In addition, 70.6 per-
cent tanned in the sun, 26 per-
cent used tanning beds and 25.3
percent did both.
But among women who used
tanning products and sunned
themselves, 36.8 percent said
they had cut back on tanning in
the sun because they were using
self-tanners. Among those who
used the products along with
tanning beds, 38 percent said
they reduced their use of the de-
vices.
Tanned skin was highly prized
among the study participants
92.7 percent of them felt that
bronzed skin is more attractive
than pale and 79.2 percent of
them said they felt better when
they had some color.
What compelled them to use
self-tanners in the first place?
Women viewed them as safer
than getting tan via the sun or
tanning beds, and they were
afraid of getting wrinkles.
The study authors notedthat a
history of skin cancer, regular
use of tanning beds or sun tan-
ning, and feeling better about
oneself after tanning were
among the predictors of self-tan-
ning product use.
The percentage of self-tanning
product users was higher in this
study than in previous ones, the
authors said, but they added it
may be because almost half of
the participants were sorority
members at a university.
The authors were encouraged
by the drop in actual tanning
among women who used self-
tanning products. If we can per-
suade them to use STPs period-
icallyor beforespecial occasions,
when they may otherwise
choose to visit a tanning bed or a
sunny beach, they wrote, we
may be able to significantly alter
UV radiation.
Use of self-tanners may cut down on UV radiation exposure

Dear Abby: As a
clinical psychologist,
I believe your advice
to Protective Mom
in the Midwest
(Oct. 26) was over-
simplified. You told
her she was right in
not permitting her husbands brother,
a registered sex offender, to visit the
family during the holidays. She didnt
want her 10-year-old daughter around
him.
You have made the common mis-
take of seeing everyone who carries
the registered sex offender label as
alike. They are no more alike than are
people who drink too much. Some al-
coholics get drunk, angry and violent,
but most do not. Some sex offend-
ers act like Ted Bundy, but most do
not. Some are guilty only of having a
younger girlfriend.
Dr. William S. in Miami
Dear Dr. S.: Your point about lump-
ing all sex offenders together is
well-stated. Another reader pointed
out that something like urinating
outdoors could result in this classifi-
cation. However, most readers agree
with me that the safety of the 10-year-
old must be the primary concern.
Their comments:
Dear Abby: If Mom allows Jake in
the house, local child protective au-
thorities will consider it failure
to protect the child, putting the girl
at risk of being removed from the
home. I am a former child protective
worker who went to homes to inform
parents of this. I also had to keep
my daughter away from my former
in-laws because they allowed a sex
offender to visit while she was there.
I will never regret knowing I did ev-
erything I could to keep my daughter
safe.
Another Protective Mom in New
England
Dear Abby: All children should be
educated as early as they can under-
stand about issues of trust. Mom will
have to watch her daughter every sec-
ond Jake is around, but she shouldnt
deny her husband the right to have
his family come for the holidays. Per-
haps he could arrange for his brother
to stay at a hotel.
Gloria in Cleveland
Dear Abby: I am a sex offender and
have learned through therapy why
I did what I did and how to not go
around where it may happen again.
Would Jake even accept an offer to
stay over? If hes like me, hed say,
Thanks, but no thanks, and not put
himself in a situation where someone
could cry rape or accuse him of un-
wanted fondling.
Moving On
Dear Abby: We have a registered sex
offender living in our neighborhood.
Despite the fact that I have young
children, I am not concerned that he
presents a threat. When he was 19,
he had sex with a 17-year-old girl. He
was tried and served his time, but he
now gets to spend the rest of his life
on the list. If he had been 40, or
the girl 12, Id be concerned. Without
knowing the particulars of the crime,
it seems rash to sentence Uncle Jake
to family purgatory.
Andy in Louisiana
DEAR ABBY
A D V I C E
Readers urge family of sex offender to act cautiously during holidays
To receive a collection of Abbys most
memorable and most frequently re-
quested poems and essays, send a busi-
ness-sized, self-addressed envelope, plus
check or money order for $3.95 ($4.50 in
Canada) to: Dear Abbys Keepers, P.O. Box
447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. (Postage
is included.)
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Youll
be working in a group, throwing
out ideas and trying to figure
out how to go forward together.
When an idea is right, its right.
Everyone in the room knows it.
People feel it.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
Working effectively toward a
long-term goal means some-
times forgoing opportunities for
pleasure and fun. Chances are
that the things you find truly
pleasurable are very much in line
with your goals today.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Youll
have augmented powers of self-
control. When you run into road-
blocks, youll be able to relax and
come back to the issue at a later
time. This beats getting upset.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Dont
punish yourself just because you
are not performing. Its normal
for your productivity to ebb and
flow. Youll be most successful
when you let it happen naturally.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Youll do
things spontaneously. This is
how youll get a million things
done in one day, quite literally,
depending on the level of detail
you account for.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). There
is some debate as to whether
or not positive thinking really
makes you healthier. Even if
it doesnt, isnt life a lot more
pleasant for the sunshiny effort?
Your friends think so.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Windows
of opportunity are always open-
ing. Youll get more than one, but
no two opportunities are ever
the same. Knowing this, youll be
eager to take advantage of what
appears to be a decent deal.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The
fear of striking out will not keep
you from stepping up to bat.
Youll make your play, and if it
doesnt work the first time, youll
try it again and again.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
As much as youd like to sit back
and relax today, a little bit of the
right kind of stress will be unde-
niably positive for your life. Youll
sparkle when theres some pres-
sure on you to perform.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Visual clutter produces mental
clutter. Dont let unimportant
and unorganized things bog
down your life. An hour of clean-
up will be worth three additional
hours of productivity before the
week is up.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Youll
start and finish a project right
on time. Its not because you are
trying so hard to be punctual,
but because you realize how
much simpler life can be when
everyone sticks to the agenda.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). There
may be something going on that
makes your mental environ-
ment more interesting than your
physical environment. Youre
no stranger to getting lost in
dreams.
TODAYS BIRTHDAY (Dec. 27).
Your structures and traditions
may be transformed over the
next three months. Youll look
back in amazement at all youve
accomplished in a matter of
weeks. Computers, communica-
tion and writing figure into your
financial gains in March. Pisces
and Scorpio people adore you.
Your lucky numbers are: 10, 20,
4, 17 and 50.
