Bendele art piece
for library a
‘family affair’
BY STACY TAFF
staff@delphosherald.com
DELPHOS—Local artist
and Architectural Blacksmith
Michael Bendele recently
finished and installed the
3-piece relief sculpture he
fashioned for the Delphos
Public Library, work that was
commissioned for the library
using money from the estates
of Bendele’s late aunt, Alba
Landwehr, and her brother
Reno Bianchi.
The piece, which pictures a
child immersed in a book with
a backdrop of bookshelves,
was created using the same
process and material Bendele
used for The Great Doors
of St. John The Evangelist
Catholic Church.
“With the piece itself, I
wanted to express the excite-
ment of reading and in partic-
ular, if possible, the moment
a young reader first realizes
the whole world of experience
that can be accessed through
reading,” Bendele said. “The
technique used to create the
piece is called repousse. The
Congress sends
tax legislation
to White House
By DAVID ESPO
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Acting
with uncommon speed,
Congress sent President
Barack Obama sweeping,
bipartisan legislation late
Thursday night to avoid a
Jan. 1 spike in income taxes
for millions and renew job-
less benefits for victims of the
worst recession in 80 years.
The measure also will
cut Social Security taxes for
nearly every wage-earner and
pump billions of dollars into
the still-sluggish economy.
The 277-148 vote came the
day after the Senate cleared
the bill, 81-19.
The legislation was the
result of a reach across party
lines between Obama and top
Republicans in Congress —
stubborn adversaries during
two years of political combat
that ended when the GOP
emerged the undisputed win-
ner in midterm elections on
Nov. 2.
Rep. Ginny Brown-Waite,
R-Fla., called it “a biparti-
san moment of clarity” as the
House moved toward a vote.
After forcing a delay in
the House early in the day,
Democratic critics settled for
a separate vote in their bid to
toughen an estate tax provi-
sion they attacked as a give-
away to the very rich. They
were defeated, 233-194, with
one vote of “present.”
“The president will be able
to sign it as soon as he likes,”
said Rep. Rob Andrews of
New Jersey as the events
unfolded in the final days
of a tumultuous two-year
Congress.
In a statement released
shortly after the vote, Treasury
Secretary Tim Geithner said
the bill was “good for growth,
good for jobs, good for work-
House Republicans who

in January urged passage of
the bill.

majority leader, said the

Accountants on edge
waiting for tax-cut changes
By JEANNINE AVERSA
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The
year’s end is always a frantic
time for tax preparers. This
year, it’s more frenetic than
usual.
The tax-cut bill that gained
final approval in Congress late
Thursday, coming so late in
the year, has whipped up a
mild panic for accountants,
payroll staffs and anyone else
who handles taxes.
Payroll processors say the
delay in new tax-withholding
schedules means the wrong
amounts may be taken out
of many workers’ paychecks
in the first few weeks of
January.
Accounting firms are rush-
ing to advise clients, master
the tax-code revisions and
update software.
Details have been in flux.
And nerves on edge.
Jim Bolek, an executive at
Basic Payrolls Plus in Grand
Rapids, Mich., which pro-
cesses paychecks at 400 com-
panies, says the delay in the
2011 tax withholding tables is
giving him heartburn.
“It’s a huge headache,”
Bolek says. “Just sitting here
Ohio pharmacist charged with falsifying tax forms
BY ANDREW

The Associated Press
COLUMBUS — A phar-
macist facing nearly 200
counts of illegally disbursing
prescription painkillers says
the government can’t prove its
case against him, even as he
was hit Thursday with addi-
tional charges of filing false
tax returns.
Federal prosecutors said
in court filings that Harold
Fletcher underreported how
much money he made in 2005
and 2006 at his pharmacy on
the east side of downtown
Columbus. The government
said Fletcher brought in more
than the $1.8 million he report-
ed in 2005 and the $1.9 million
he reported in 2006.
His attorney, Bradley
Barbin, declined to comment
Thursday. He has called the
229-count indictment against
Fletcher overkill.

Ohio jobless rate
drops for 8th
straight month
COLUMBUS (AP) — State
officials say for the first time
in eight years Ohio’s unem-
ployment rate is not higher
than the national one.
The Ohio Department of
Job and Family Services said
Friday the state’s jobless rate
slipped from 9.9 percent in
October to 9.8 percent last
month. The national unem-
ployment rate for November
also was 9.8 percent.
Officials note Ohio unem-
ployment has now fallen for
eight months in a row since
hitting a 26-year high of 11
percent in March.
The number of unemployed
workers in Ohio dropped to
579,000 last month, from
588,000 in October. Officials
say the number has gone
down by 58,000 in the past 12
months.
The state’s nonfarm pay-
roll employment also fell in
November, by 7,800.

The state Health

reports nearly 50 city and
county health departments
have received permission to
provide certificates to resi-

they were born in.
Ohioans used to have to
travel to the county they were
born in to get a copy of their
birth certificate or wait as long
as six weeks to receive one in
the mail.
The transition to the

That was when the Ohio

Cleveland bridge
to be named for
Voinovich
COLUMBUS (AP) — A
massive new Interstate 90
bridge in Cleveland will be
named in honor of retiring U.S.
Sen. George Voinovich.
The tribute was announced
Thursday night by Gov.-
elect John Kasich (KAY’-
sihk) and leading GOP state
lawmakers during an Ohio
Statehouse gathering celebrat-
ing Voinovich’s career.
The Columbus Dispatch
reports the 74-year-old
Republican was moved to tears
by the turnout of close friends
and former staff members. He
told them he took “fatherly
pride” in having had the oppor-
tunity to touch their lives.
The new, $450 million
bridge in Cleveland replaces
the so-called Innerbelt Bridge,
a major artery just south of
downtown. The project
received $85 million from the
federal economic stimulus
package.
Voinovich is a former
Cleveland mayor.

Senate Dem leader drops
nearly $1.3T spending bill
By ANDREW TAYLOR
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — After
wrestling with — and finally
abandoning — a 1,900-page
catch-all spending bill stuffed
with more than $8 billion
in home-state projects known
as earmarks in Washington
and pork in the rest of the
country, Senate leaders need
to come up with a measure to
keep the federal government
running into early next year.
Nearly $1.3 trillion in
unfinished budget work was
packed into the spending mea-
sure, including $158 billion
for military operations in Iraq
and Afghanistan. But Senate
Majority Leader Harry Reid
gave up on the bill Thursday
after several Republicans
who had been thinking of
voting for it pulled back their
support.
Republican leader Mitch
McConnell of Kentucky had
thrown his weight against
the bill in recent days, say-
ing it was “unbelievable”
that Democrats would try to
muscle through in the days
before Christmas legislation
that usually takes months to
debate.
“Just a few weeks after
the voters told us they don’t
want us rushing major pieces
of complicated, costly, far-
reaching legislation through
Congress, we get this,”
McConnell said. “This is no
way to legislate.”
The turn of events was
Officials: CIA gave waterboarders $5M legal shield
By MATT APUZZO
and ADAM GOLDMAN
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The
CIA agreed to cover at least
$5 million in legal fees for
two contractors who were
the architects of the agency’s
interrogation program and
personally conducted dozens
of waterboarding sessions on
terror detainees, former U.S.
officials said.
The secret agreement
means taxpayers are paying
to defend the men in a federal
investigation over an inter-
rogation tactic the U.S. now
says is torture. The deal is
even more generous than the
protections the agency typi-
cally provides its own officers,
giving the two men access to
more money to finance their
defense.
It has long been known that
psychologists Jim Mitchell
and Bruce Jessen created the
CIA’s interrogation program.
But former U.S. intelligence
officials said Mitchell and
Jessen also repeatedly sub-
jected terror suspects inside
CIA-run secret prisons to
waterboarding, a simulated
drowning tactic.
The revelation of the con-
tractors’ involvement is the
first known confirmation of
any individuals who con-
Earmark ban senators end up grabbing them
WASHINGTON (AP) —
More than two dozen senators
— most of them Republicans
— put hundreds of homestate
projects in the $1.3 trillion
bill to fund the federal gov-
ernment even though they
recently voted to ban so-called
earmarks.
The effort to pass the 1,924-
page bill collapsed Thursday
night after complaints by con-
servatives over its complexity
and size and the relatively few
days to be devoted to debating
its merits. Anti-spending tea
party activists were angry espe-
cially since they had helped
propel Republicans to big gains
in the midterm elections.
A handful of Republican
senators needed to advance
the massive measure withdrew
their support for the bill, leav-
ing Senate Majority Leader
Harry Reid, D-Nev., little
recourse but to pull it back.
Still, the bill’s $8 billion in
earmarks showed that some GOP
senators voicing outrage over
the measure had made no effort
to dump their own pet projects.
The earmark-free approach to
legislation that had been prom-
ised by 39 Republicans and
Democrats, though their pledge
came well after work began on
the measure.
Senate Republican lead-
er Mitch McConnell of
a major victory for earmark
opponents like Sens. John
McCain, R-Ariz., and Tom
Coburn, R-Okla., who for
years have been steamrolled
by the old-school members of
the powerful Appropriations
Committee.
The spending barons saw
their power ebb in the wake
of midterm elections that
delivered major gains for
Republicans — with consid-
erable help from anti-spend-
ing tea party activists.
“We just saw something
extraordinary on the floor of
the United States Senate,” a
grinning McCain said.
The $1.27 trillion catch-
all bill wrapped together 12
bills — blending $1.1 trillion
for the operating budgets of
every federal agency with an
infusion of funding to carry
the war in Afghanistan into
its 10th year — into a single
foot-tall piece of legislation
that Democrats had hoped to
pass with just a couple of
days’ worth of debate.
It was designed to bank-
roll the day-to-day operations
of the government for the
budget year that started Oct.
1, funding the almost one-
third of the federal budget
that Congress has to pass
each year.
The House and Senate
typically spend months on the
12 annual spending bills, but
Democrats didn’t bring even
a single one to the Senate
floor this year, an unprec-
edented collapse of an appro-
ducted waterboarding at the
so-called black sites, under-
scoring just how much the
agency relied on outside help
in its most sensitive inter-
rogations.
Normally, CIA officers
buy insurance to cover pos-
sible legal bills. It costs about
$300 a year for $1 million
in coverage. Today, the CIA
pays the premiums for most
officers, but at the height of
the war on terrorism, officers
had to pay half.
The Mitchell and Jessen
arrangement, known as an
“indemnity promise,” was
structured differently. Unlike
CIA officers, whose identities
are classified, Mitchell and
Jessen were public citizens
who received some of the ear-
liest scrutiny by reporters and
lawmakers. The two wanted
more protection.
The agency agreed to pay
the legal bills for the psychol-
ogists’ firm, Mitchell, Jessen
& Associates, directly from
CIA accounts, according to
several interviews with the
former officials, who insisted
on the condition of anonymity
because they were not autho-
rized to discuss the matter.
The company has been
embroiled in at least two high-
profile Justice Department
investigations, tapping the
CIA to pay its legal bills.
Kentucky, for example, said
he’s unalterably opposed to
the bill, but it still had $85 mil-
lion of his earmarks, includ-
ing $18 million for a railhead
upgrade at Fort Knox and a $3
million infantry squad battle
course at Fort Campbell. All
told, McConnell obtained 38
earmarks, according to a data-
base put together by the office
of Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla.
The bill and accompany-
ing reports contained 6,714
earmarks costing $8.3 bil-
lion, Coburn said. Twenty-
three Republicans and four
Democrats who had voted for
the immediate ban on ear-
marks ended up with pet proj-
ects in the bill.
At a news conference
Wednesday, Sens. John Thune,
R-S.D., and John Cornyn,
R-Texas, assaulted the bill,
but then reporters questioned
why they had earmarks in the
measure.
Thune backed 17 earmarks
for $23 million, including
$500,000 for a terminal expan-
sion at the Rapid City airport
and $1 million for improve-
ments to state route 73 in
Jackson County.
Cornyn obtained numer-
ous earmarks as well, includ-
ing $110,000 for the Texas
State Technical College and
$500,000 for a wastewater

priations process. The House
only passed two of the 12
bills and didn’t make any of
the other 10 public.
The sinking of the bill
was a setback for President
Barack Obama, who sup-
ported it despite provisions
to block the Pentagon from
transferring Guantanamo
Bay prisoners to the United
States and fund a program to
develop a second engine for
the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter,
which the administration
says is a waste of money.
Obama came under fire from
Republicans for supporting
the bill after promising after
the election to take a harder
line on earmarks.
Just Thursday, Secretary of
Defense Robert Gates made a
public push for the omnibus
measure at an appearance at
the White House, saying that
operating under a stopgap
measure frozen at current lev-
els would be a major hardship
for the Pentagon.
McConnell had earlier
quietly backed the effort
to produce the legislation,
which had significant input
from Republicans on the
Appropriations panel.
But release of the bill on
Tuesday sparked an outcry
among the GOP’s conser-
vative political base. Senate
Republicans held two combat-
ive closed-door meetings in
which the rank-and-file turned
up the heat on those few
Republicans who were con-
sidering voting for the bill.
Neither Jamie Gorelick,
who originally represented
the company, nor Henry
Schuelke, the current lawyer,
returned messages seeking
comment. Mitchell and Jessen
also didn’t return calls for
comment.
The CIA would not com-
ment on any indemnity agree-
ment.
“It’s been nearly eight
years since waterboarding —
an interrogation method used
on three detainees — was
last used as part of a terror-
ist detention program that no
longer exists,” CIA spokes-
man George Little said.
After the terrorism attacks
of Sept. 11, 2001, Mitchell
and Jessen sold the govern-
ment on an interrogation pro-
gram for high-value al-Qaida
members. The two psycholo-
gists had spent years train-
ing military officials to resist
interrogations and, in doing
so, had subjected U.S. troops
to techniques such as forced
nudity, painful stress posi-
tions, sleep deprivation and
waterboarding.
But those interrogations
had always been train-
ing sessions at the military’s
school known as SERE —
Survival, Evasion, Resistance,
Escape. They had never con-
ducted any actual interroga-
tions.
plant in Edinburg, Texas.
“I’m going to vote against
this bill and refuse all those
earmarks,” Cornyn said. As
long as they remained in the
bill, however, Cornyn’s ear-
marks had been set to move
ahead. His requests were made
in the spring.
Critics pounced on what
they deemed double-talk.
Such criticism, howev-
er, also could be directed at
Colorado Democrats Michael
Bennet and Mark Udall, who
voted for the earmark ban two
weeks ago. The Senate bill
included a $700,000 earmark
sought by Bennet for a new
water line for Trinidad, Colo.,
and $500,000 for a wastewa-
ter project in Idaho Springs,
Colo., requested by Udall.
President Barack Obama
didn’t escape the criticism.
Just a month ago, he said the
nation can’t afford “wasteful
earmark spending.”
But his administration made
it clear he would accept the
earmark-laden Senate bill over
a less expensive, earmark-free
version passed by the House
last week. Defense Secretary
Robert Gates endorsed the
Senate version and its $678
billion for the Pentagon and the
wars in Iraq and Afghanistan,
about $19 billion more than in
the House bill.

Jefferson girls roll over Lady Bulldogs Late basket lifts
By AUSTIN CLARKSON
The Delphos Herald

ADA — The Jefferson
girls basketball team left no
doubt as to which team was
going to win Thursday night.
The Lady Wildcats came
out with their standard pres-
sure defense and pummeled
Ada with it into submission,
jumping out to a 22-1 lead
after one period and cruis-
ing to a 70-39 Northwest
Conference thumping of
the Lady Bulldogs in “The
Kennel.”
Jefferson used its trade-
mark full-court defense and
created turnovers (31 all told),
turning them into easy buck-
ets at the other end all night
long — picking up 18 layups
along the way off those mis-
cues.
The Wildcats were very
explosive on the offensive
and defensive side of the
basketball and creating many
opportunities for themselves
by pressuring the basketball
all the way down the court.
Jefferson’s tough defense led
to numerous turnovers for
the Ada Bulldogs (1-5, 0-2
NWC) in the first half of
action which led to a 44-8
bulge for the visitors going
into the locker room.
They held Ada to only one
free throw in the first period
as their pressure made life
miserable for the home team.
Jefferson junior guard
Kennedy Boggs came out red
hot in the first half (18 mark-
ers) and tallied up a team-
high 20 points on the night,
including two 3-pointers,
while senior standout Kristin
Klausing added 17 points in
the victory (5 steals).

Minster over Lady Jays
By JIM METCALFE
jmetcalfe@delphosherald.com
MINSTER — St. John’s
and Minster have been in
so many Midwest Athletic
Conference girls hardwood
battles over the
years that they
know each other
like the backs of
their hands.
It comes
down to players
coming up big.
Thursday’s
night’s lat-
est renewal at
Saine
Minster Middle
School came
down to Wildcat senior
Erica Fullenkamp canning a
15-footer with 2.6 ticks to go
to give her team a tight 44-43
triumph.
“I don‘t think many of those
in the outside world thought it
would come down to this. The
girls came out to play from
the start,” Jays mentor Dan
Grothouse explained. “It felt
like a tournament loss in the
locker room after the game.
Fullenkamp just made a great
play; I thought we defended
the last 30 seconds very well
but great players make great
plays.”
The Lady Wildcats (4-0,
2-0 MAC) led 31-29 to start
the ultimate period but Lady
Blue Jay junior Courtney
Grothouse (15 markers, 3
treys, 4 assists, 4 boards)
canned a trifecta to open the
canto and give the Jays (4-2,
1-1 MAC) the lead. In a quar-
ter that featured one tie and
four lead changes, the Jays
held a 43-40 lead with 46 ticks
left on a putback by junior
Shelby Reindel (8 markers, 10
boards). Fullenkamp (8 mark-
ers) countered with a pair of
free throws at 45.1 ticks for
a 43-42 Blue Jay lead. Senior
Tiffany Geise missed the front
end of the bonus with 31.9
seconds to go and the Wildcats
got the rebound. The Blue Jay
man-to-man defense seemed
to take the hosts out of their
offense but Fullenkamp kept
her dribble alive as time wore
down, getting to the left wing.
Her 15-footer swished through
the net to give the hosts a
1-point lead. After the teams
exchanged timeouts, the Jays
got the ball to senior Becca
Saine (16 counters, 3 assists)
in the backcourt, whose quick
dribbles gave her a 30-foot
last-second heave that just hit
off the iron to end the game.
“Sometimes players make
the coach look smart and other
times they make them look
dumb. Erica made me look
smart,” long-time Minster
coach Nann Stechschulte
explained. “I didn’t want to
call a timeout and I don’t
think I could have anyone bet-
ter with the ball in her hands
than Erica. She is one of my
senior captains and she came
through in the clutch.”
The free-throw line proved
to be the difference as the
Jays hit 3-of-9 (33.3%) to
Minster’s 13-of-19 (68.4%).
The Jays outshot their hosts
46.2 percent (18-of-39, 4-of-
10 long range) versus 37.8
percent (3-of-7 treys).
The Wildcat full-court
diamond press gave the Jays
fits in the early going, forc-
ing six turnovers (15 total).
That helped the hosts recover

Jersey past Washington 97-89
on Thursday night to snap an
8-game losing streak.
The loss was the 13th
straight on the road this sea-
son for the Wizards (6-18),
who played without top over-
all draft pick John Wall and
forward Andray Blatche, both
of whom sat out the game
with knee problems.
The Nets, who led by 23
points in the second quarter,
got 12 points and 17 rebounds
from Kris Humphries, the
fourth straight game he col-
lected 10 or more boards.
Reserve Nick Young led
the Wizards with 22 points,
while Gilbert Arenas had 19
and Al Thornton added 18.
The 23-point lead was
the biggest New Jersey has
enjoyed at any stage of a game
this season.

by the 3-minute mark of the
period and roll off 12 straight
points. The Jays got a layin by
Grothouse with 14 ticks to go
for a 14-10 deficit.
The Jays settled them-
selves in the second period
and took much better care of
the ball, only
turning it over
three times.
In turn, they
forced five
Minster errors
(13 total) but
they fell behind
24-15 on a
3-ball by Maria
Dahlinghaus (8 Grothouse
markers) with
2:44 showing. Saine led a 7-0
spurt, scoring five, including
a jumper from right of the key
with a tick left, to reduced
their halftime hole to 24-22.
Two Geise free throws
tied it at 6:17 of the third
canto and that started a defen-
sive span that saw each team
score just seven markers. A
third-chance 15-footer from
Delanie Wolf (10 counters, 3
blocks) gave the Wildcats a
31-29 edge.
“We had our chances and
missed some free throws;
we’ve been shooting at 75 per-
cent this season,” Grothouse
added. “The girls stepped
up to the challenge; I am so
proud of their effort tonight.
You know it’s going to be
tough on the road, especially
here, and you want to win all
your MAC games.”
St. John’s compiled 24
caroms (9 offensive) and 17
fouls. They visit Shawnee
6 p.m. (junior varsity start)
Monday.
“It was a typical MAC
game. We hit 13-of-19 free
throws and I’ll take that,”
Stechschulte added.
Minster amassed 27 boards
(11 offensive) — Tara Clune
nabbed seven — and 13 fouls.
They visit Fort Loramie next.
In JV action, Minster (4-0,
2-0) dominated the first half
with a 28-12 advantage and
then withstood a Jays’ rally to
grab a 39-32 victory.
Claire Fischer, Hannah
Butler and Sara Dahlinghaus
scored eight each for the
Wildcats. Junior Julie Bonifas
and freshman Madison
Kreeger led the Jays (3-2, 1-1)
with 10 counters each.

scored 18 points and Nate Robinson

Boston point guard Rajon Rondo
missed the game after spraining his
left ankle in Wednesday’s win at New
York. He’s expected to be sidelined at
least a week. Center Shaquille O’Neal
was also out, missing his fourth straight
game with a sore right calf.
Spurs 113, Nuggets 112
DENVER — San Antonio’s Manu
Ginobili hit a running bank shot in the
final seconds, then drew the foul that
negated Carmelo Anthony’s possible
game-winning basket.
Ginobili’s shot with 4.2 seconds left
put the Spurs ahead 113-112.
After a timeout, Anthony got the
inbounds pass from Ty Lawson and
drove the lane. He ran over Ginobili
as he made a buzzer-beater and the
crowd went crazy. But the officials
called off the basket for an offensive
foul.
It was the second game-winner
in as many days for Ginobili, who hit
a fallaway jumper as time expired
Wednesday, lifting San Antonio over
Milwaukee 92-90.
San Antonio improved to an NBA-
best 22-4 while dropping the Nuggets
to just their second loss in 13 home
games.
Tim Duncan had 28 points and
Tony Parker added 24 for the Spurs.
Anthony led Denver with 31 points
and Arron Afflalo scored 20.

NEW YORK — Tiger Woods’
humbling return to the public eye,
from his televised confession
to a winless season on the golf
course, was voted the sports story
of the year by members of The
Associated Press.
The fallout from Woods’
admission of infidelity edged a
very different sort of story: The
New Orleans Saints winning their
first Super Bowl championship,
giving an emotional boost to their
divorced.
— 2. SAINTS WIN: New Orleans resi-
dents loved their Saints for not abandon-
ing the city after Hurricane Katrina, but it
was hard to imagine the team bringing
much joy on the field after 42 mostly
losing seasons. Then Drew Brees and
Co. upset the mighty Indianapolis Colts
in their first Super Bowl, to the delight of
French Quarter revelers and fans nation-
wide who adopted the Saints.
— 3. FREE AGENCY FRENZY: NBA
fans were captivated by the mystery of
where MVP LeBron James and other
marquee free agents would land. Few
would have guessed that three of them
would sign with the same team: the
Miami Heat, who became basketball’s
Evil Empire by adding James from
posters distributed to teams before the
season warned of concussions’ dangers
in much harsher language than before.
Another sign of how big the issue had
become: increased reporting of concus-
sions by players. Midseason, the NFL

— 7. JIMMIE JOHNSON: The
NASCAR driver extended his record with
his fifth straight Sprint Cup title. Perhaps
most impressively, he did it despite not
being in top form all season. Johnson
became the first driver in the Chase’s
seven-year history to overcome a points
deficit in the finale.

was nothing like last year’s magical run

and Eric Belanger in the shoo-
tout to make Christensen’s
first-round tally stand up.
Jason LaBarbera, a late
fill-in for Phoenix, was in
line for his third straight win
before Stepan tied it with 5:43
left in regulation.
Dan Girardi had a goal
and assist and Brandon Prust
scored a short-handed goal
for the Rangers, who have
won 10-of-14. Biron made
33 saves.
Taylor Pyatt and Adrian
Aucoin scored in the opening
6 minutes and Martin Hanzal
added a goal in the second
period, but the Coyotes fell to
0-2 on their 6-game road trip.
Canadiens 4, Bruins 3
MONTREAL — Max Pacioretty had
a goal and an assist and Scott Gomez
also had two points as Montreal ended
a 3-game losing streak with a win over
Boston.
Michael Cammalleri scored on a
penalty shot 1:04 in. Maxim Lapierre
and Brian Gionta also scored and
Carey Price stopped 34 shots for the
Canadiens, who remained alone in
first place in the Northeast Division
with 40 points.
Boston’s Marc Savard and Patrice
Bergeron each had a goal and an
assist. Blake Wheeler also scored and
Tim Thomas made 37 saves for the
Bruins, who trail the Canadiens by
four points.
Hurricanes 3, Thrashers 2, SO
ATLANTA — Cam Ward stopped
straight — both in shootouts — and
were stopped in their bid to pull even
with Washington for the lead in the
tight Southeast Division.
Chris Mason stopped 27 shots for
Atlanta. Evander Kane and Anthony
Stewart each had a goal and an
assist in the second period for the
Thrashers.
Islanders 3, Ducks 2
UNIONDALE, N.Y. — P.A.
Parenteau, Blake Comeau and Matt
Moulson scored in a 99-second span
and New York beat Anaheim to win for
only the second time in 22 games.
Rick DiPietro stopped 30 shots for
the Islanders, who had lost six straight.
DiPietro has both wins for New York
during the slide. The other was a 2-0
victory Nov. 26 over the New Jersey
Devils.
Joffrey Lupul and Jason Blake
scored for the Ducks, who were com-
ing off an overtime win the night before
in Washington.
Curtis McElhinney started in net for
Anaheim and allowed three goals on
12 shots. Jonas Hiller came on in relief
and made 17 saves.
Senators 3, Wild 1
ST. PAUL, Minn. — Daniel
Alfredsson, Nick Foligno and Chris
Kelly scored and Ottawa took advan-
tage of a disallowed goal to beat
Minnesota.
Kyle Brodziak scored for the
Wild and had another goal waved off
because of too many men on the ice.
The goal would have given Minnesota
a 2-1 lead midway through the second
period.
Instead, Foligno scored 9 seconds
later and the Wild never recovered.
Ottawa (14-16-3) had been out-
scored 24-9 while dropping five of its
last six road games. Pascal Leclaire
stopped 23 shots to help the Senators
win for the third time in their last seven
games overall.

Is Advent getting lost in the Christmas rush?

The Rev. Dino Bottino didn’t expect to TERRY MATTINGLY education -- that just because they are hearing remain in place in churches, schools and homes
spark a firestorm several years ago when he de- Christmas music doesn’t mean that it’s really through the feast of the Baptism of Our Lord on

livered his sermon about the true meaning of
Christmas.
Still, it didn’t take long for outraged par-
ents to leak one crucial statement -- that Father
Christmas, also known as Santa Claus, isn’t real
-- to the Italian press. Headline writers around
the world immediately felt a great disturbance
in the Holiday Force, as if millions of tiny non-
sectarian voices had cried out in terror.
Clearly, this priest had committed blasphe-
my.
Now, the Catholic shepherd of Salt Lake
City has bravely ventured into similar territory.
Bishop John C. Wester has asked those in his
flock to observe the Advent season during the
four weeks before Christmas and then -- readers
may need to sit down -- to celebrate Christmas
on Dec. 25 and during the season that follows.
“Few would disagree that we live in a busy
and rushed society. ... You may have noticed
that in our hurried society many stores have
already decorated for Christmas, radio stations
are sneaking in a Christmas song here and there
and even some of our own parishes have be-
gun preparing for Christmas parties for early
December,” noted Wester, in a pastoral letter
released on Nov. 24.
“What is the rush? ... Advent is a season of
On
Religion
preparation, although it has come to be neglect-
ed in many places. Too often, the season of Ad-
vent is overshadowed by the ‘holiday season’
as we move too quickly into celebrating Christ-
mas. By the time that the actual solemnity of
Christmas arrives, many of us are burned out.”
To be perfectly blunt about it, he added, the
secular season called “The Holidays” has been
hyped to the point that, in the end, “Christmas
has become anticlimactic.”
The bishop’s letter has generated a surpris-
ing amount of buzz in a short time, said Deacon
Greg Kandra, a veteran journalist who directs
the online news programming (NetNY.net) for
the Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn. In effect,
Wester has issued a call for countercultural re-
volt against the principalities and powers that
shape the American calendar, he said.
For starters, the bishop is trying “to re-
mind people -- through the pulpit and through
Christmas,” said Kandra, a 26-year CBS News
veteran who has won two Emmys and two Pea-
body Awards.
“As everyone knows, most of this is root-
ed in commercialism. But just because we
have Black Friday and people are stampeding
through the malls doesn’t mean that is what
Christmas is really about.”
After throwing down the gauntlet, Wester
offered practical examples of what he would
like to see in the parishes and schools of his
diocese.
Rather than leap straight to Christmas trees
early in December, the bishop urged Catholic
families to embrace Advent prayer wreathes --
with candles marking the Sundays leading up to
Christmas. Families could have “Jesse Trees”
that are decorated in Advent purple and sym-
bols of the ancestors of Jesus, before adding
Christmas decorations at the proper time.
Rather than hold premature Christmas par-
ties, the bishop suggested that Catholic schools
plan “Gaudete” parties -- Latin for “rejoice”
-- that are linked to the third Sunday in Ad-
vent. Facilities could be decorated with simple
wreaths and greenery, with the full Christmas
decorations in place as students return after
New Year’s Day. Full Christmas decor should
the ninth of January.
By all means, said Wester, Catholics should
hold parties throughout this entire Christmas
season, which begins -- following centuries of
tradition -- with Christmas Day.
The goal is for Advent to be a period of
“waiting in joyful hope,” a time of preparation,
reflection and prayer. At least, that’s what the
church calendar says.
“It is so easy to ... decorate our churches and
houses for Christmas, to spend more time shop-
ping than in prayer and to host Christmas par-
ties before the season has arrived,” said Wester.
“I know it is an enormous challenge to remain
faithful to the Advent season when we are sur-
rounded by a society which, while claiming to
be Christian, does not take the time to reflect
and prepare as the church calls us to do.”
However, he added, “As Catholics, we must
celebrate Advent differently.”

By R.K. BeRRy
Universal Media Syndicate
UMS – Have you heard about the free heater
giveaway that’s sweeping across the state?
Well listen up because here it is and we’ll
even give you the number to call.
Starting at precisely 8:30am this morning,
brand new Convecta-red miracle heaters are
actually being given away free to the general
public for the next 48 hours.
The only thing today’s readers need to do is
call the Toll Free Hotline before the 48-hour
deadline with their order for the handmade
Amish Fireplace Mantle. The first 25,839 read-
ers who do will instantly be awarded the Heat
Surge miracle heater with new Convecta-red
Heat technology absolutely free.
This is all happening to announce the new
Heat Surge Roll-n-Glow Convecta-red fire-
place which actually rolls from room-to-room
so you can turn your thermostat way down and
never be cold again. That way, everyone who
gets them first can immediately start saving
on their heat bills.
Just in time for the bitter cold winter weath-
er, portable Amish encased fireplaces are be-
ing delivered directly to the doors of all those
who beat the deadline.
These remarkable new Convecta-red heat-
ers are being called a miracle because they
■ AMISH QuALITY: Amish craftsmen take
great pride in their workmanship. Each Amish
fireplace mantle is hand crafted to the highest
standards and is built to last a lifetime. With four
finishes to choose from they are sure to make
any room look like a million bucks.
■ SAFE: The new Heat Surge Convecta-red
heater looks so real it fools everyone but there is
no real fire. So you don’t have to worry because
the flame window is safe to the touch. It’s where
the kids will play and the cat and dog will sleep.

have the patent-pending Fireless Flame® tech-
nology that gives you the peaceful flicker of a
real fire but without any flames, fumes, ashes
or mess. Everyone is getting them because all
you do is plug them in.
And here’s the best part. Readers who beat
the 48-hour order deadline are getting their
new Convecta-red miracle heaters free when
encased in the Amish built real wood fireplace
mantles. The mantles are being handmade in
Ohio, right in the heart of Amish country where
they are beautifully hand-rubbed, stained and
varnished.
You just can’t find custom made Amish man-
tles like this in the national chain stores. That
makes the oak mantle a real steal for just two
hundred ninety-eight dollars since the entire
cost of the new Convecta-red miracle heater is
free.
The Amish handmade mantle actually lets
the new Convecta-red miracle heater roll from
room-to-room. These fireplaces are so com-
pact they go anywhere, yet they throw off an
instant heat wave in any room. And they only
use about the same electric as a coffee maker,
so it’s easy to stay warm in any room of the
house for just pennies a day.
“You see, with your furnace you are pay-
ing to heat areas of your home that you’re not
using. And since the new Convecta-red miracle

bills and still stays warm. The new Heat Surge
Convecta-red heater only uses 9¢ an hour of
electricity on the standard setting, yet blasts out
an instant heat wave in any room to keep you
warm all day long for just pennies.
■ dELIVEREd FuLLY ASSEMBLEd: Every
Heat Surge Roll-n-Glow fireplace comes fully
assembled by Amish craftsmen and is delivered
right to your door. All you do is roll it out of the box,
plug it in and relax in front of the Fireless Flame.
