‘LANDMARK’ REVIVAL
To bail or
not to bail?
Sentencing Commission
mulls over amendment
By KAREN FLORIN
Day Staff Writer
Real estate heir and accused kill-
er Robert Durst, who fled Galveston,
Texas, in 2001 after posting a quarter
million dollars bail, was quoted years
later saying that “of course” some-
body charged with murder should
not be released on bail.
He said, “Goodbye $250,000. Good-
bye jail. I’m out.”
Proponents of reforming the bail
system cite Durst’s case as an exam-
ple of a failed system.
The Connecticut Sentencing Com-
mission, made up of top officials in
the Judicial Branch, Division of Crim-
inal Justice and others involved with
the criminal justice system, is work-
ing on a proposal to allow authorities
to deny release altogether for high-
risk defendants and deny detention
of lower risk offenders who lack the
funds to post bond. About 25 percent
of Connecticut’s prison population is
made up of people who are being held
pretrial, or while their court cases are
pending.

New London — Mel Foti said he
saw a great opportunity when the
neoclassical Dewart Building on
State Street came on the market
this year across from the Garde Arts
Center and next to the venerable
Thames Club.
He closed on the building Oct.
31, and records in City Hall indicate
he and partners paid $840,000 for
a century-old space that a decade
previously had commanded $2.5
million. Foti’s investment group,
300 State Street Partners, bought
the Dewart Building and its mar-
bled staircases from 300 State LLC,
whose principal was listed as Randy
Abood.
“It’s a landmark building, an ar-
chitecturally significant building,”
said Foti, a retired banker turned
real estate investor who has lived in
the city for more than a decade. “It’s

With the help of a new $135,000

to change that.

firms, counselors, artists and attor-

art gallery and martial arts studio as

The five-story Dewart Build-
ing at 300-310 State St. was built
in 1914  for millionaire financier
Morton F. Plant, whose father had
made millions in the railroad indus-
try. Plant died just four years later.
Designed by local architect Dud-
ley St. Clair Donnelly, who is also
responsible for the Mercer Build-

downtown Citizens Bank, the build-

Such sweeping changes would re-

approve the recommended changes
and submit them to the General As-

MORE ABOUT BAIL
What is bail? 
Sometimes referred to as “mon-
ey bail,” it is the bond amount set
by police, court staff or judges to
make sure that a person goes to
court or returns to court if they
are released after they have been
arrested.
Who is eligible for bail?
Connecticut’s State Constitution
provides that everyone charged
with a crime has the right to be re-
leased on bail upon providing “suf-
ficient security,” or putting up the
appropriate amount of money to
ensure a person’s court state. The
law does not apply in capital of-
fenses, but Connecticut abolished
its death penalty in 2012.
What are the types of bail?
Surety bonds: The court re-
quires cash, real estate, or a pro-
fessional bondsperson’s signature
as collateral before releasing the
defendant back into the communi-
ty. The court may allow the defen-
dant to post 10 percent of the bond
in cash to secure his or her release.
Non-surety bonds: Sometimes
referred to as releasing a person
“on their own recognizance,” the
defendant is not required to post
cash or property, but is asked to
sign a written promise to appear in
court, also known as a PTA.

News in Brief
AUTOPSIES UNDERWAY
FOR BILLIONAIRE, WIFE
FOUND DEAD
Toronto — Investigators are
awaiting the results of autopsies
performed on Canadian billion-
aire Barry Sherman and his wife
after they were found dead in
their home in what police called
suspicious deaths. Toronto Police
spokesman Mark Pugash said
Saturday the deaths are suspi-
cious based on what they know,
but offered no other details.
The 75-year-old pharmaceutical
magnate and his wife, Honey, 70,
were found dead in their north
Toronto mansion on Friday. The
deaths shocked Canadian high
society and prompted Prime
Minister Justin Trudeau to make
a statement. Sherman founded
Toronto-based Apotex Inc. in 1974
with two employees and turned it
into the largest Canadian-owned
pharmaceutical company.
LAS VEGAS VICTIMS FUND
RAISED $22 MILLION,
BUT IT’S NOT ENOUGH
Las Vegas — The Las Vegas
committee overseeing the
millions of dollars donated after
the mass shooting in October has
expanded the scope of those that
could make a claim on money, but
thousands will remain ineligible
to receive any cash under the
final guidelines. Scott Nielson,
chairman of the Las Vegas Vic-
tims Fund Committee, says the
fund has $22 million, but that the
large number of those affected
by the mass shooting makes it
impossible to provide everyone
with a cash payout. Fifty-eight
people were killed and hundreds
more injured when 64-year-old
Stephen Paddock fired into a
crowd of about 22,000 during the
Route 91 Harvest country music
festival on the night of Oct. 1. It
was the deadliest mass shooting
in modern American history.
ZOO TO TAKE FIONA
THE HIPPO OFF BOTTLE
Cincinnati — The Cincinnati Zoo
& Botanical Garden says Fiona the
baby hippopotamus will soon eat
nothing but grown-up hippo food
as she’s weaned from her bottles
of formula. Fiona is closing in on
650 pounds after being born in
January six weeks premature
and weighing just 29 pounds,
far smaller than typical hippo
newborns. Fiona’s early struggles
caught the world’s attention,
turning her into an adored icon
and star zoo attraction. She
received 24-hour care in her first
months. A team from Cincinnati
Children’s Hospital Medical Center
helped zoo staff insert a lifesaving
IV catheter when she became
dehydrated. A zoo spokeswoman
says hippos are normally weaned
between eight and 10 months.
SKI LIFT MALFUNCTION
STRANDS DOZENS,
5 HAVE MINOR INJURIES
Boalsburg, Pa. — A ski lift
malfunction on opening day at a
Pennsylvania ski resort stranded
dozens of people and left five
with minor injuries. Around 10
a.m. Saturday, a chair carrying
skiers and snowboarders slipped
along the haul rope and slid
backward into another chair,
officials with Tussey Mountain
ski resort in Centre County,
around 82 miles northwest of
Harrisburg, said. That caused a
domino effect to several other lift
chairs. Officials said the lift was
stopped and the ski patrol and
emergency responders started to
evacuate people from the lift. The
Centre Daily Times reported that
emergency crews were lowering
people with ropes.

Crime-fighting robot retired after launching alleged ‘war on the homeless’
By PETER HOLLEY
The Washington Post
Like so many classic West-
ern anti-heroes before him,
he rolled (literally) into town
with a singular goal in mind:
cleaning up the streets, which
had become a gritty hotbed of
harassment, vandalism, break-
ins and grift.
The only difference was
that he was a slow-moving,
400-pound robot with a pen-
chant for snapping hundreds
of photos a minute without
people’s permission, and this
was San Francisco’s Mission
District in 2017.
What could go wrong? Quite
a bit, as it turns out.
In the past month, his first on
the job, “K-9” — a 5-foot-tall,
3-foot-wide K5 Autonomous
Data Machine that can be rent-
ed for $6 an hour from Silicon
Valley startup Knightscope —
was battered with barbecue
sauce, allegedly smeared with
feces, covered by a tarp and
nearly toppled by an attacker.
As if those incidents weren’t
bad enough, K-9 was also
accused of discriminating
against homeless people who
had taken up refuge on the
sidewalks he was assigned to
patrol. It was those troubling
allegations, which went viral
last week, that sparked public
outrage and prompted K-9’s
employers — the San Francis-

Defense Department official wanted to release UFO data before he left his job
By JOBY WARRICK
The Washington Post
Washington — Just before
leaving his Defense Depart-
ment job two months ago, in-
telligence officer Luis Elizondo
quietly arranged to secure the
release of three of the most
unusual videos in the Penta-
gon’s secret vaults: raw foot-
age from encounters between
fighter jets and “anomalous
aerial vehicles” — military jar-
gon for UFOs.
The videos, all taken from
cockpit cameras, show pilots
struggling to lock their radars

cue group SPCA — to pull the
plug on their newly minted ro-
bot security pilot program.
“Effective immediately, the
San Francisco SPCA has sus-
pended its security robot pilot
program,” Jennifer Scarlett,
the organization’s president,
wrote in a statement emailed to
The Washington Post on Thurs-
day. “We piloted the robot pro-
gram in an effort to improve the
aircraft — no claims are made
about their possible origins
or makeup — appear to hover
briefly before sprinting away
at speeds that elicit gasps and
shouts from the pilots.
Elizondo, in an internal
Pentagon memo requesting
that the videos be cleared for
public viewing, argued that
the images could help educate
pilots and improve aviation
safety. But in interviews, he
said his ultimate intention was
to shed light on a little-known
program Elizondo himself ran
for seven years: a low-key De-
fense Department operation to
collect and analyze reported
UFO sightings.
security around our campus
and to create a safe atmosphere
for staff, volunteers, clients and
animals. Clearly, it backfired.”
SPCA officials said the robot
was hired to patrol the parking
lot and sidewalk outside the
animal shelter after the build-
ing had been broken into twice
and employees had become
fed up with harassment and
catcalls. The robot, they said,
The existence of the pro-
gram, known as the Advanced
Aviation Threat Identification
Program, was confirmed offi-
cially for the first time Satur-
day by a Pentagon spokesman.
The acknowledgment came in
response to media inquiries,
which were generated in part
by a start-up company Eli-
zondo has joined since retire-
ment. The private company
specializes in promoting UFO
research for scientific and en-
tertainment purposes.

gon officials confirm that the
Pentagon program has been in
existence since 2007 and was
formed for the purpose of col-

record security footage, and
then notify shelter employees
or police during an emergency.
The backlash began after an
animal shelter spokeswoman,
in an interview with the San
Francisco Business Times last
week, seemed to suggest that
the robot was an effective tool
for eliminating the homeless
encampments outside the
lecting and analyzing a wide
range of “anomalous aero-
space threats” ranging from
advanced aircraft fielded by
traditional U.S. adversaries to
commercial drones to possible
alien encounters. It is a rare in-
stance of ongoing government
investigations into a UFO phe-
nomenon that was the subject
of multiple official inquiries in
the 1950s and 1960s.
Spending for the program
totaled at least $22 million,
according to former Pentagon
officials and documents seen
by The Washington Post, but
the funding officially ended in
2012. “It was determined that

SPCA, leading to a sudden re-
duction in crime. SPCA offi-
cials now say they didn’t mean
to imply that they wanted to be
rid of the homeless and have
pointed out that they partner
with several local organiza-
tions to provide veterinary
care for homeless pet owners.
Nevertheless, a public out-
cry, complete with calls for
the robot’s destruction, quick-
ly ensued. A flurry of atten-
tion-grabbing headlines im-
plied that the robot was spe-
cifically employed to target the
homeless.
“Robot wages war on the
homeless,” a particularly in-
flammatory Newsweek head-
line read.
In recent days, SPCA offi-
cials said, they’ve received
hundreds of messages encour-
aging people to seek retribu-
tion against the animal shelter
through violence and vandal-
ism. So far, officials said, the
facility has experienced two
acts of vandalism.
“The SF SPCA was exploring
the use of a robot to prevent ad-
ditional burglaries at our facility
and to deter other crimes that
frequently occur on our cam-
pus — like car break-ins, harass-
ment, vandalism, and graffiti
— not to disrupt homeless peo-
ple,” Scarlett’s statement said.
“We regret that our words were
ill-chosen. They did not prop-
erly convey the pilot program’s
ity issues that merited funding
and it was in the best interest
of the DOD to make a change,”
Pentagon spokesman Tom
Crosson explained in a state-
ment.
But officials familiar with
the initiative say the collection
effort continued as recently as
last month. The program oper-
ated jointly out of the Pentagon
and, at least for a time, an un-
derground complex in Las Ve-
gas managed by Bigelow Aero-
space, a defense contractor
that builds modules for space
stations. It generated at least
one report, a 490-page volume
that describes alleged UFO
sightings in the United States
intent and they inaccurately re-
flected our values.”
“We are a nonprofit that
is extremely sensitive to the
issues of homelessness,” the
statement added.
In a statement emailed to
The Post, Knightscope referred
to accusations that its robot
was hired to target homeless
people as “sensationalized re-
ports.”
“The SCPA has the right to
protect its property, employ-
ees and visitors, and Knight-
scope is dedicated to helping
them achieve this goal,” the
statement said. “The SPCA has
reported fewer car break-ins
and overall improved safety
and quality of the surrounding
area.”
K-9 is not the first Knight-
scope machine to have a short-
lived security career. In July,
a K5 robot patrolling Wash-
ington Harbour ended up in a
fountain, its cone-shaped body
halfway submerged in a scene
reminiscent of a violent crime.
Images of that robot circu-
lated widely on social media,
and, eventually, a memorial
with flowers and letters was
set up to mourn the short-
lived career of “Steve,” as the
machine came to be known.
Knightscope called Steve’s
demise “an isolated event”
before delivering his replace-
ment, an identical K5 known as
“Rosie.”
and numerous foreign coun-
tries over multiple decades.
Neither the Pentagon nor
any of the program’s managers
have claimed conclusive proof
of extraterrestrial visitors,
but Elizondo, citing accounts
and data collected by his of-
fice over a decade, argues that
the videos and other evidence
failed to generate the kind of
high-level attention he be-
lieves is warranted. As part of
his decision to leave the Penta-
gon, he not only sought the re-
lease of videos but also penned
a letter to Defense Secretary
Jim Mattis complaining that a
potential security threat was
being ignored.

Trump transition team: Mueller unlawfully obtained emails
By ANNE GEARAN
and PHILIP RUCKER
The Washington Post
An organization that was
part of President Donald
Trump’s transition team
claimed Saturday that special
counsel Robert Mueller III im-
properly obtained a trove of
transition emails as part of the
inquiry into Russian influence
in the 2016 election and other
matters.
The batch of emails totaling
thousands of pages of com-
munications was improperly
provided to Mueller by the
federal General Services Ad-
ministration, the organiza-
tion claimed in a letter deliv-
ered to congressional investi-
gators.
“This morning we sent a
letter to Congress concerning
the unauthorized sharing of
private and transition emails
with the Mueller team,” law-
yer Kory Langhofer said in an
interview.
Details of the letter and the
allegations from the transition
organ known as Trump for
America were first reported by
Reuters.
The letter from Langhofer,
who was counsel to Trump for

plines participate.
“That said,” Muggeo added,
“we were surprised and hon-
ored when we were selected.”
According to Thompson,
the group is looking to create
a specialized system for ad-
diction and recovery services
that is similar to what 211
does for those who are home-
less in Connecticut. If you call
211, you’ll be directed to the
nearest housing option that is
available and makes sense for
your situation.
With the local model, the
action team will have a few
trained recovery navigators
manning the phones. They’ll
assess how far into addiction
each caller is and build a rela-
tionship with them. Because
of their position as the go-to
people for treatment, the nav-
igators will have special access
to a variety of local providers.
When a person says they’re
ready for treatment, the navi-
gator will be able to get it done
— no phone tag or weekslong
wait time necessary.
Several area providers al-
ready have agreed to partici-
pate in the endeavor.
Carol Jones, an Alliance for
Living employee who will be
doing recovery navigation
work, said the team will put
emphasis on medication-as-
sisted treatment, a method
that is more quickly available
and has better results than the
cycle of detoxification, then
treatment.
Jones said some users still
aren’t aware of how quick-
ly  medications such as  Su-
boxone, which reduces the
symptoms of withdrawal, can
improve their lives —  espe-
cially when paired with coun-
seling and therapy. Others, she
said, believe they aren’t truly

FROM A1
Connecticut has already
started down the path of bail
reform. A new law that took
effect Oct. 1 prohibits bail for
those accused of most nonvi-
olent misdemeanor offenses.
Judges still have the discre-
tion to impose bail for those
accused of misdemeanor do-
mestic violence cases, those
who have a history of failing to
appear in court, those who are
judged to be flight risks and
those who attempt to obstruct
justice, threaten a witness or
engage in conduct that threat-
ens the safety of himself, her-
self or others.
The law requires that those
who are being held in lieu of
bond be presented in court
for a bond review hearing
within 14 days of their first
court appearance and pro-
hibits judges from setting
cash-only bonds.
A  constitutional amend-
ment could go further by re-
leasing the majority of defen-
dants under the supervision

LETTER SENT TO CONGRESSIONAL INVESTIGATORS
America, alleged that career
employees of the GSA improp-
erly provided privileged com-
munications to investigators
working for Mueller.
The material included tens
of thousands of emails, the or-
ganization alleged.
Mueller’s investigation is
looking at whether any crimes
were committed as part of
what U.S. intelligence agen-
cies say was systematic Rus-
sian meddling in the election
Trump won.
Trump has consistently said
there was “no collusion” with
Russia, an assertion he repeat-
ed Friday.
Trump for America alleges
that Mueller acquired private
records without a warrant or
subpoena.
The action team will have a few trained
recovery navigators manning the phones.
They’ll assess how far into addiction each
caller is and build a relationship with them.
Because of their position as the go-to
people for treatment, the navigators will
have special access to a variety of local

sober if they need a medica-
tion every day — a flawed view
shared by many outside the
addiction community.
It’s a standard that doesn’t
exist with other chronic dis-
eases, many of which are regu-
lated with medication.
“Medication-assisted treat-
ment works,” Jones said. “A lot
of times people are not open to
it … but if they look at the num-
bers, they’ll see a much better
outcome.”
Countless studies have
shown medication-assisted
treatment reduces the risk of
overdose death and criminal
activity and keeps people in
treatment longer. Those who
detox and opt not to aid their
recovery with medication, on
the other hand, see relapse
rates as high as 90 percent.
Thompson said recovery
navigators won’t drop out of
the picture when someone
gets placed into treatment.
They’ll be accessible through-
out the recovery process and
help with other services a per-
son may need along the way,
such as job training or hous-
ing.
Muggeo pointed out that re-
searchers with the University
of Baltimore will be overseeing
the work of all 13 communities.
By the end of the grant period,
she said, the goal is to have a
toolkit of best practices that
programs. High-risk defen-
dants who are detained could
be held without bail, similar to
the system used in the federal
system.
The bail reform advocates
say those who have money,
like Durst, are able to get out
of prison while awaiting trial,
but the fact that they posted
bail doesn’t ensure public safe-
ty. Just last month, a man in
Northern California went on a
shooting rampage while out on
bond for stabbing a neighbor
with a steak knife and assault-
ing a second person.
Those in favor of bail reform
say the system has the oppo-
site effect for the poor, who
lack money to post bail and re-
main incarcerated even when
charged with relatively minor
crimes. They say the poor de-
fendants often lose their jobs
or housing and are set up to
fail again once they are re-
leased.
“Even a few days in jail
makes a low-risk person a
higher risk person and likely to
commit crimes in the future,”
said John Santa, founder of the
Malta Justice Initiative and
vice chairman of the Sentenc-
ing Commission, at an October
symposium.
Transition documents are
private property, not govern-
ment records, the organization
contends. The letter invokes
federal law and decades of
precedent to argue that Muel-
ler overstepped.
The transfer of transition
documents is “unlawful con-
duct that undermines the
Presidential Transition Act
of 1963,” the letter said, “and
will impair the ability of future
presidential transition teams
to candidly discuss policy and
internal matters that benefit
the country as a whole.”
The Trump transition al-
leges that the handover was
done by “career staff at the
General Services Administra-
tion” and suggested that those
employees may have had polit-
can be replicated elsewhere.
In other words, if New Lon-
don’s model pans out, it could
be expanded throughout the
state and beyond.
“The grant funds afford us
the ability to build the sys-
tem,” Thompson said. “We’re
going to need more resources
to expand medication-assisted
treatment and to expand the
technological pieces of this,
but this is a great start.”
The grant also calls for an
expanded partnership with
city police and other first re-
sponders, who often are the
first to notice when there’s
a rash of overdoses or a new
drug in the area.
Those involved additionally
will be educating the commu-
nity on how addiction alters
the brain and how language
continues to stigmatize those
with addiction.
“I hope that by end of the
year, we will have improved
our community’s capacity to
support people living with
substance use disorder and
we will have created change …
so that locally this is acknowl-
edged and responded to as a
chronic disease and not as a
character flaw,” Muggeo said.

human services director, said

Road trip to N.J.
At a Dec. 11 public hearing,
members of the state’s bail
bonds industry, which could be
decimated if the reforms are
enacted, cited mass confusion
in states that have enacted
similar reforms, including New
Jersey, the District of Colum-
bia and New Mexico.
Daniel Toner, vice presi-
dent of the Bail Association of
Connecticut, said the amend-
ment would decrease public
safety and increase the prison
population. He said the public
has been misled to believe it is
safer due to lower crime levels
and decreased prison popula-
tions. In Connecticut, he said,
there are 44,000 active arrest
warrants for offenders who
were released without bail
while their court cases are
pending.
“If only a small percentage
of those warrants were served,
prison population would be in-
creasing,” he said.

Commission traveled to New
Jersey to study that state’s

New JFK files show FBI misplaced Oswald’s fingerprints, CIA opened his mail
By TODD J. GILLMAN
and CHARLES SCUDDER
The Dallas Morning News (TNS)
Washington — The National
Archives unsealed thousands
of pages from the President
John F. Kennedy files on Fri-
day, and while assassinations
buffs weren’t likely to find any
major revelations — no proof
of a second gunman, a Cuban
plot, or evidence the killer
could have been stopped —
they’ll have plenty to chew on.
The 3,539 records include
FBI and CIA reports on Soviet
spies, the assassination of the
Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.,
and Lee Harvey Oswald’s trip
to Mexico City a few weeks be-
fore he murdered Kennedy in
Dallas on Nov. 22, 1963.
This batch likely will be the
last released pending a final
review of records. Many re-
main sealed at the request of
the FBI, CIA and other agen-
cies that pressed for more
time ahead of a deadline set a
quarter century earlier.
For decades, debate has
raged not only over whether
Oswald acted alone but wheth-
er the FBI and CIA could have
stopped him. The latest docu-
ments provide fresh proof that
he was in their sights: a 1975
CIA memo marked “top secret”
shows that Oswald was on a
“watch list” of people whose
mail would be intercepted from
Nov. 9, 1959, to May 3, 1960, and
again from Aug. 7, 1961, through
May 28, 1962.
The same watch list includ-

U-2 pilot shot down on May 1,
1960. His mail was opened un-

Detroit (AP) — A Missouri

around all five Great Lakes has
stopped her journey because
of the rigors of wintry weath-

For decades, debate has raged not only over whether Oswald acted alone but whether the
FBI and CIA could have stopped him. The latest documents provide fresh proof that he was in
their sights: a 1975 CIA memo marked “top secret” shows that Oswald was on a “watch list”
of people whose mail would be intercepted from Nov. 9, 1959, to May 3, 1960, and again from
Aug. 7, 1961, through May 28, 1962.
sassination and never got
them back. Top FBI officials
told House investigators that
finding the prints would be a
“mammoth research effort.”
The head of the bureau’s fin-
gerprint section told House in-
vestigators that standard pro-
cedure would have required
returning the original prints
to Dallas police, but “this case
was not routine, nor was it
handled as such.”
In 1992, Congress set Oct.
26, 2017, for the release of
all remaining documents in
the Kennedy collection. The
National Archives released a
batch in July, and five since
then, including Friday’s. In
late October, President Don-
ald Trump gave the agencies
six more months to review any
material that might damage
national security.
“We don’t pass judgment on
the value of the information or
draw any conclusions about
the content. That’s left for the
American people — for jour-
nalists, researchers, historians
and the like,” said Jay Bosan-
ko, chief operating officer at
the National Archives.
Previous batches of docu-
ments have revealed the deep
ties between U.S. and Mexican
intelligence agencies, and the
lengths the United States went
to in attempts to undermine or
assassinate Cuban dictator Fi-
del Castro.
A trove released Oct. 26 in-
cluded a CIA report showing
that Soviet leader Nikita Kru-
shchev believed Dallas police
had been an “accessory” to
the assassination, because he
found it implausible that pres-
idential security was so “in-
ept” for Kennedy to be killed
without a conspiracy.
The documents have al-
so revealed serious lapses in

Revisiting
recession-
era business
owners
By JOYCE M. ROSENBERG
AP Business Writer
New York — They are busi-
ness survivors — owners
whose small companies with-
stood the Great Recession that
forced thousands of others out
of business. Along the way, ma-
ny had to lay off workers, forgo
salaries or find new ways to
earn money.
Ten years after the official
start of the downturn, some
entrepreneurs profiled by The
Associated Press as the reces-
sion began say now that they
are grateful but not gleeful;
they have many painful memo-
ries and lessons learned.
“I have to say I'm ultracon-
servative now,” says Jen Miller,
who told the AP in early 2008
she was feeling the impact of a
weaker economy on her busi-
ness that sells clothing, knick-
knacks and other items that
companies give away to clients
and customers.

NURTURING MOMS
Niantic shop is a place to
get answers and a break
By AMANDA HUTCHINSON
Day staff writer
East Lyme — While moving back and
forth between southeastern Connecti-
cut and National Guard stations in the
South with two kids, Waterford native
Korie Witcraft found there weren't
any stores or groups that provided
support for breastfeeding, cloth
diapering and natural approaches
to parenting. With her family's most
recent resettlement in Niantic, she
decided to start her own.
Inspired by a cousin who worked in
a natural parenting store in Montana,
Witcraft opened Nurture Nest in a tiny
shopfront on Methodist Street in Au-
gust 2015, starting with cloth diapers
and children's clothing. The store has
since doubled in size and expanded to
offer other products as well as classes
for children and parents.
“With our route for pregnancy
being so medical and not as natural as
I had thought it would be growing up,
I wanted something to be normal and
natural,” she said.
Witcraft said her first daughter had
issues breastfeeding while they were
stationed in North Carolina, with the
only groups around meeting once a
month. After her second daughter was
born here and she started looking into
Nurture Nest, located at 9 Methodist St. in Niantic on Wednesday.
the chemicals used in baby products,
she recognized the need for those
services in Connecticut as well.
When it came down to finding a
location for it, Niantic was the perfect
spot.
“We live in a community which is
really focused on shopping locally,”
she said, “and we're particular about
what we put in the store. We want to
make sure they're products that are
useful and things that you might not
necessarily be able to find every-
where.”
TIM MARTIN/THE DAY
Witcraft said that while the store
caters to parents interested in
eco-friendly clothing, toys and other
baby supplies, it's designed to be a
resource for all parents in the area,
whether they need help installing a
car seat, want to find a locally made
sweater, or have a question about
their cloth diaper.
Store employee Becky Embree said
she came to Nurture Nest as a custom-
er and found it to be a welcoming and
nonjudgmental place.
“I loved coming in because I didn't
have many friends who had kids, so
this was one of my activities to do,”
she said. “Moms get a little break here,
you can put your toddler down and
you know they're safe, and you get a
little conversation in.”
The store is outfitted with toys, in-
cluding a bucket of sidewalk chalk out-
side, for visiting children to play with
while their parents shop. Witcraft,
who has worked in the child care field
since 2003, also offers children's class-
es and play groups, many of which are
taught by parents who came to other
classes and offered their skills.
For parents, Nurture Nest has host-
ed a cloth diaper exchange, a Big Latch
On event to promote breastfeeding
awareness, a baby-wearing lending
library, various photo sessions and a
new “Mom Mingle” night for moms to
get out of the house for an hour or two
and hang out with other local moms.
Embree said they've led mini-sessions
on cloth diapering and other popular
topics, and often customers pop in
with quick questions.
“I just love seeing the moms come
back in and saying that something you
helped them with made a difference
with,” she said. “Even if someone
comes in and purchases nothing but
you had a good conversation with
them, maybe that changed their day a
little bit.”

lustrate the recession's toll:
n Quarterly tallies show that
the number of new companies
peaked at 236,000 at the end
of 2006 but then began falling,
reaching 192,000 in the third
quarter of 2009. The figure
made it back to 237,000 in the
first quarter of 2012.
n Business closings, in the
190,000 range until the start of
2006, peaked at 253,000 at the
end of 2008 and didn't return
to pre-recession levels until the
third quarter of 2011.
Miller avoided laying off
her two staffers at Printing
and Promotional Partners in
Jacksonville, Fla., but says
now, “there were times when I
didn't take a paycheck.” Miller
ran her company cautiously
and has been able to add an
employee.
“I probably could add more
staff, but I never want to be in
a position to let someone go if
things slack off,” she says.

HOLIDAY GREETINGS? HALF
OF U.S. DOESN’T CARE
As a presidential candidate, Donald
Trump complained that the greeting
“Merry Christmas” had fallen out of vogue.
People would be saying it again once he
took office, he promised. And you’d hear
the greeting more in department stores,
too. He has said that repeatedly since
occupying the Oval Office. “You’re going
to be saying ‘Merry Christmas’ again,” he
pledged during a speech to the Heritage
Foundation on Oct. 17. But the president’s
enthusiasm for the greeting isn’t as wide-
ly shared as he may think. “Today, fully
half of the U.S. public (52 percent) says a
business’ choice of holiday greeting does
not matter to them,” according results
of a survey released Tuesday by the Pew
Research Center.

Millennials are changing Splurged on a nice gift? Don’t forget to insure it

the U.S. retail economy
FROM B1
sales amount to but 10 per-
cent of all retail sales.
What is really going on?
American society has un-
dergone a titanic secular
transformation. Retail stores
are the first to suffer the ef-
fects of this economic dis-
ruption. Generational change
is affecting how consumers
behave; not just how America
shops, but for what, and for
how much and even why.
Two broad economic
trends set the backdrop: too
much retail and too little
gain in wages. America has
built way too many stores
and malls. Second, wages
adjusted for inflation have
been little changed for three
decades; this has squeezed
the middle class, especially
when it comes to discretion-
ary spending.
But the behavioral changes
taking place are for all retail-
ers, and not just for those oc-
cupying real estate. This also
has implications for shop-
pers, landlords, lenders and
workers. Let's consider these
secular shifts:
Millennials versus boomers: Island's North Shore, where
For most of their lives, ba-
by boomers were the biggest
demographic age cohort in
U.S. history. The generation
born in the years after World
War II had an enormous im-
pact on the development of
U.S. retail, from specialty
stores and malls to big box
stores and discounters.
Alas, the prime spending
years of the boomers are now
behind them. They have pur-
chased their homes and va-
cation properties, furnished
them, bought SUVs and luxu-
ry cars. Now in their 60s and
70s, thousands of them retire
every day. Their next big pur-
chases are more likely to be
travel or health care.
The new shopping kings
are the millennials who
passed the boomers in size
last year, although they are
a smaller share of the total
U.S. population than boom-
ers were at their peak. This
demographic, still in their
prime spending years, is
coveted by advertisers. Yet
retailers still don't seem to
understand how this group
behaves as consumers.
Experiences versus
materialism:
The fall of materialism and
the emergence of the experi-
ence economy explain some
of retail's woes. Credit or
blame millennials, along with
an assist from technology.
Why collect CDs or DVDs
when you can stream any-
thing you want? Who needs
to pay for a car, auto insur-
ance and parking when Uber
and Lyft can take you any-
where you want to go? Why
buy a house, which requires
a mortgage and a traditional
paycheck, when you have a
gig?
That raises all sorts of
questions for that icon of
American retailing, the shop-
ping mall. Many of them have
been repainted and renovat-
ed, but the business model is
But the behavioral
changes taking
place are for all
retailers, and not
just for those
occupying real
estate.
still the same: People drive to
the mall, park the car, spend
a few hours buying stuff, take
their packages home. It isn't
very all that different from
the way it was in the 1970s or
'80s. Sure, the food court has
been updated to be hipper
and healthier. But the mall
as a social center where you
could escape parental over-
sight and meet other kids
isn't what it was. Teenagers
and those in their 20s and
30s simply do not engage in
“sport shopping” or “retail
therapy” to the same degree
as their parents. Retailers
stuck in that paradigm have
not done especially well.
Service versus products:
What does this experience
economy look like? On Long
I live, local towns have been
changing. From Huntington
to Glen Cove to Port Wash-
ington to Great Neck, it has
been out with retail stores,
and in with services busi-
nesses. Gone are the antique
shops, toy stores and clothing
boutiques. In their place are
inventory-free services: hot
yoga, dance instruction, tu-
tors/test prep, massage, spin
classes, karate, nail salons
and (my personal favorite)
Korean foot massage.
This isn't unique to my
back yard; similar changes
are taking place in cities as
varied as Sarasota, Fla., Chi-
cago and San Francisco. The
trend is toward service busi-
nesses and away from the
sale of physical goods.
Private equity as retail
landlords:
Private-equity f u n d s
have become involved in
retail as developers and
landlords. In an era of low
interest rates, a business
model predicated on higher,
steady returns is an attrac-
tive use of capital.
But what works on a
spreadsheet for distressed
businesses doesn't always
translate into the commer-
cial real estate space. Store-
front businesses are limited
to the rent they can afford
based on the revenue they
generate. Lease renewals
with increases of as much
as 100 percent from new
private equity-funded land-
lords do not work. If the
rent increase can't be sup-
ported by the retailer's rev-
enues, they fold the tent up.
It is too easy to blame
retail's woes on Amazon.
com and other online mer-
chants. The broader picture
has to take in the enormous
changes in how consum-
ers behave. Retail has been
very slow to adapt to this.

ures this out, the better.

PAUL CHOINIERE

Having
your say
at council
meetings
n addition to being the place where
I policy is set, council meetings
provide the opportunity for citizens
to confront their elected leaders. The
public comment portion of the agenda
is when people sound off, be it about
poor street conditions or the contract
that was awarded without a bid.
In New London, however, you
might have to wait a couple of hours
to make your point in person. In Nor-
wich, it could be a couple of weeks.
I received some calls after the
topic surfaced at a recent meeting of
the newly seated New London City
Council, at which it adopted its rules
of procedure.
Those rules limit public comments
near the start of the meeting to items
on the agenda that evening. Any citi-
zens wanting to speak to the council
about another topic must wait until
the end of the meeting. The prior
council adopted this rule after some
speakers took to prating about topics
of little interest, except to themselves,
often blowing past the 3-minute limit
and prolonging the meetings.
A couple of council members,
however, felt the council was improp-
erly penalizing all citizens for the
callous behavior of a few. Councilor
John Satti made a motion to amend
the rule to allow people to speak on
“any matters of interest,” receiving
a second from the only Republican
councilor, Martin Olsen, who had
also expressed concerns about the
restrictions.
But other council members opted
to leave the policy in place, defeating
the amendment 5-2. It wasn’t fair to
those who attend the meeting to hear
about city business to have speakers
prattle on at the start about items
not on the agenda, explained council
President Anthony Nolan.
Curious as to how similar commu-
nities handle the situation, I checked
on the council rules for Norwich and
Groton.
Norwich City Council holds its
regular meetings the first and third
Monday. At that first meeting, public
speakers may “address the City Coun-
cil on a resolution or ordinance which
appears on the council agenda.” That’s
it. If you want to talk on some other
topic, the council will refer you to the
appropriate council subcommittee.
At the second meeting of the
month, however, a “citizen can
comment on non-agenda items of
concern to the city and within the
direct purview of the City Council.”
As in New London, comments
are restricted to three minutes, but
unlike New London, comments are
cut off after 30 minutes.
Then there is the Groton Town
Council, which is old school. It does
not restrict the speaker topics, aside
from the rules of good taste, and
provides up to 5 minutes for public
comments, which come near the start
of the meeting. Apparently the coun-
cil meetings in Groton have fewer
speakers clogging up the agenda or
the councilors have greater patience.
Is there a right or wrong way to
allow for public comment? I don’t
think so. It seems reasonable that
legislative bodies would adopt
procedures that fit their respective
communities. If enough people get
upset about any restrictions placed
on them they will find a way to let
their elected leaders know and, I
suspect, those leaders would react
with changes.
If a topic becomes particularly
heated, with a large number of speak-
ers wanting to be heard, a council is
free to suspend its own rules.
Citizens have more access to
their local elected leaders than ever
before. The emails of all council
members are easily accessible on
the respective town websites, as are
meeting minutes.
Not everyone will find the various
rules convenient, but no one is being
silenced.

Politicizing ‘Merry Christmas’
By BRANDON McGINLEY
he elderly man who scanned my
T purchases at Target this week
concluded our brief interaction with
the valediction “Merry Christmas!”
There was just a touch of mischief
in his voice; he seemed to delight in
saying the phrase, especially as an
employee of a corporation known for
its progressive politics.
It seems that President Donald
Trump would approve. He has
alternately attracted scorn and
approbation from the likely places
for pointedly including the tradi-
tional greeting in public statements
and encouraging others — especially
retail workers — to do so as well. In
fact, at an event in Utah, he recently
declared that Christmas is “bigger
and better than ever” on his watch.

Many sober houses about money, not sobriety
By DANIEL BEYFUSS
’ve been a resident of two sober
I houses in New London and one in
Groton. Your criticism of these sober
houses’ lack of proper management
and effective regulation is well de-
served. However, the problems run
much deeper than the state might be
willing to consider.
Anyone who has lived in a sober
house knows that the landlord’s
primary concern is money. From the
moment you arrive, your ability to pay
rent is the landlord/house manager’s
biggest concern, and you are constant-
ly under pressure through not-so-sub-
tle threats to make sure it is paid.
Most sober houses have residents

a promise to pay rent on time, may
include mandatory attendance of
12-step meetings and in some cases

in the house. These stipulations are
rarely enforced and seem to have

By ELAINE POZYCKI
ike many moms across this coun-
L try, my son became addicted
to opioid pain relievers after they
were prescribed to him to treat a
sports injury. Had someone told me
about the addictive qualities of the
medicine Steven was prescribed,
I would have known to look for
alternatives.
Too many parents are unaware
their children are being prescribed
highly addictive drugs. A recent
national survey done by the
Hazeldon Betty Ford Foundation
confirms what I’ve learned talking
with other parents: 6-in-10 doctors
prescribe opioid painkillers with-
out telling patients that they can
be addictive.
To fix this problem, I pushed for a
new law in New Jersey, since adopt-
ed by Rhode Island and supported in
the recommendations of the Nation-
al Opioid Commission. It requires
that a prescriber inform patients (or
people who are gravely offended by
hearing the words “Merry Christ-
mas.” The politicization of holiday
greetings has been a particularly sil-
ly proxy battle in the culture wars. It
has been useful to both sides to pre-
tend that mentioning the dominant
winter holiday makes large numbers
of marginalized people/adolescent
snowflakes feel unwelcome, even if
few ever express any real discomfort
with it either way.
For the president, the traditional
Christmas greeting is valuable not
as a sharing of the glad tidings of the
Savior’s birth, but only as a kind of
rhetorical weapon whose purpose is
to offend others’ sensitivities — to
be “politically incorrect.”
“Merry Christmas” becomes, in
this cynical understanding, exact-
ly what oversensitive secularists
have always claimed: an intentional
been added to impress whatever
regulatory agency might come
snooping around. It’s obvious from
the start that the landlord’s focus
is money. Your actual recovery is
rarely a concern.
Oversight, supervision, and man-
agement of these sober houses is a
responsibility often given to one of
the residents, usually a long-timer,
but in some case simply someone
who’s older than the others, or
whose personality lends itself to the
job of collecting money and keeping
people in line.
A sober house in Groton was
recently closed when the owner of
the house passed away. The house
manager at the time robbed the
remaining residents of their rent
money and moved to Massachusetts.
That sober house, in particular, had
a string of house managers who took
advantage of the fact that the owner
was ill and took the residents rent
the parents of a minor child) about
the potential addictive qualities of
the opioids they are providing.
The prescriber is also responsi-
ble, when appropriate, to provide
non-opiate alternatives to address
both acute and chronic pain.
Patients need to be informed of
their options and how to watch for
signs of addiction. In the case of
parents, this commonsense conver-
sation gives them the information
they need to protect their teenagers,
whose developing brains are partic-
ularly vulnerable.
It is critical that doctors provide
this same notice of addiction
risks to all patients and par-
ents throughout the nation. The
over-prescribing of opioid-based
pain relievers, such as Oxycodone
and Vicadin, is the primary cause
of today’s epidemic of opiate
addiction, both to opioid-based
painkillers and their illegal street
cousin, heroin.
affront. All the joy of the Incarna-
tion and the love of the infant Jesus
and the hope of salvation — that is,
everything discernibly and beauti-
fully Christian about Christmas and
its traditions — are drained from the
words. What is left is only a base ex-
pression of power: “I can say this to
you, and there’s nothing you can do
about it. I win. You lose. Ho ho ho.”
This, I implore my fellow Chris-
tians to see, is not how we bring
about a renaissance of Christian
culture. Say “Merry Christmas” if
you want. Say “Happy holidays”
if you want. (Don’t say “Season’s
greetings,” unless you want to sound
as sincere as a mass-produced greet-
ing card.) But whatever you say, say
it with honesty and love, not to put
one over on the liberals.
This brings me back to my Target
visit, where the slow old man imp-
money for themselves.
For anyone who has lived in a
sober house, such examples are
not surprising. Neither is the use of
drugs and alcohol in these houses.
Sober houses are usually the easiest
places to find drugs or at least find
someone who will get you drugs.
What the state doesn’t under-
stand and probably doesn’t want to
consider, is that sober houses are
nothing more than cheap rent alter-
natives for people unable to secure
an apartment. If you have a job and
can afford the rent plus a deposit, it
beats living in the homeless shelter.
However, the drawbacks include
not knowing who you’ll be sharing
a room with and not having much of
a choice in the matter. Landlords fill
their beds with anyone who has the
money to pay, without considering
potential conflicts.
Anyone who finds himself or
herself in a situation that requires
More than 200 million prescrip-
tions for opioid-based painkillers
are written each year in the United
States.
“In 2015, the amount of opioids
prescribed in the U.S. was enough
for every American to be medicated
around the clock for three weeks,”
writes the National Opioid Com-
mission. As David Kessler, former
commissioner of the Food and Drug
Administration said, “The mantra
was prescribe until patients achieve
pain relief.”
A report on the opioid epidem-
ic from John Hopkins University
School of Public Health strongly rec-
ommends tightening up prescribing
practices: “Doctors often prescribe
pain medications in quantities and
for conditions that are excessive,
and in many cases, beyond the evi-
dence base.”
Connecticut is further ahead
of most states in putting preven-
tive measures in place, including
ishly wished me a “Merry Christ-
mas.”
Perhaps if American Christians
were more preoccupied with why a
septuagenarian feels compelled to
work a stressful low-wage job, rath-
er than the words he uses to greet
his customers; if we articulated a
faith that makes real, substantive
demands on the world — rather than
a faith that is an accessory to iden-
tity politics — we might be closer to
conceiving of a culture where Jesus
Christ reigns.
And not just in the seasonal aisle.

the services of a sober house is in a
position of being taken advantage of.
Fresh from rehab or detox, with no-
where to live, possibly unemployed
and broke, you don’t have many op-
tions. You find yourself at the mercy
of whatever support the state offers
and have to jump through a seem-
ingly endless number of hoops to get
it. At the same time, your landlord
is reminding you of the rent, you’re
trying to get to meetings, look for
jobs, meet with probation, and figure
out some way to eat.
In my experience, a sober house
will offer no assistance whatsoever
other than providing — for a price —
a place to sleep. What a recovering
addict needs above all is support,
not another greedy landlord with
his hand out, adding stress to the
addict’s already over-stressed life.

pill limits, mandatory continuing
education for prescribers, and the
requirement for a conversation be-

addiction risks.
However, more information about
alternative pain relief is critical to
curbing the epidemic.
I urge all state legislators and
governors to enact the Patient
Notification and Conversation law
that New Jersey and Rhode Island

for national adoption. I only wish
this law was in effect when Steven
was first prescribed opioids for his
injury.

Gov candidates offering
a whole lot of nothing
CHRIS POWELL
The Journal Inquirer
P osturing has broken out in the
campaigns for the Democratic
and Republican nominations for
governor as the candidates seem
to assume that their primary
election vote will be split many
ways and so the outcome will
be determined by single-issue,
special-interest voters.
On the Democratic side, Mid-
dletown Mayor Dan Drew may
have gained the lead by advocat-
ing another big tax increase − on
the wealthy, of course, though
many are leaving the state — so
that more can be spent on the
policies that have enriched the
core of his party, the government
and welfare classes, while drag-
ging the rest of the state down.
Probably in second place is
Hartford Mayor Luke Bronin, who
is said to be the candidate pre-
ferred by Gov. Dannel P. Malloy,
having worked in the governor’s
office before becoming mayor.
Though the governor is unpopu-
lar and not seeking re-election,
his administration employs
enough leading Democrats and
has bestowed enough favors that
he may have strong if necessarily
surreptitious influence on the
nomination.
It’s not clear yet what Bronin
stands for, and his candidacy for
governor, undertaken only two
years into a four-year term as
mayor, seems like an attempt to
escape Hartford’s insolvency and
awful demographics. After all,
Bronin pledged to serve his full
term and declared that he would
need more than one term to set
Hartford right — maybe the un-
derstatement of the century.
But then Hartford’s demo-
graphics and those of most of
Connecticut’s cities are awful
mainly because of state welfare
and education policies, about
which the governor has far more
say than any mayor. Pouring
more money into the cities − the
primary state policy of recent
decades — has only worsened
them, but their fate still will
be determined mostly by state
government. Familiarity with the

W ith its four lanes of fast-moving
traffic and numerous parking lot
entrances and exits, Groton’s Route 12 is
the polar opposite to the concept of bicy-
cle and pedestrian-friendly. Yet a recently
released Joint Land Use Study for the Sub
Base recommends the busy thorough-
fare become just that — a more commut-
er-friendly route that includes a safer and
walk or bike.
Even a quick drive along Route 12 in the
cult this task will be. The busy commercial
strip is a jumble of strip malls, fast food
restaurants, Navy housing and apartment
and condominium complexes. Traffic can
be a nightmare with vehicles changing
lanes, entering and exiting the road at
seemingly countless points, and some-
times traveling well above safe speeds.
Despite the complexity and difficulty of
transforming Route 12 to a gentler place,
this would be a welcome and overdue
change.

positions on anything that

ent a forceful demeanor,
they can win the nomina-
tion.
failure of poverty policy will be a
prerequisite for a governor seek-
ing to convert cities to self-suf-
ficiency, and a mayor capable of
critical thinking might be the one
to do it.
As for the Republican can-
didates for governor, a forum
attended by some of them in
Windsor the other day suggested
that they are all against raising
taxes and against imposing more
controls on gun ownership, gun
owners apparently being consid-
ered the party’s biggest special
interest even if guns have little
bearing on the state’s prosperity
and health.
Some of the Republican can-
didates say they would like to
repeal the state income tax, but
of course none of them describes
how to cut spending enough
to accomplish that. For exam-
ple, where do the Republicans
stand on binding arbitration for
government employee union
contracts, welfare for child-
bearing outside marriage, social
promotion in the schools, and
other policies that force costs up
or actually prohibit control of
spending?
The Republican candidates
don’t yet seem to have positions
on anything that matters. They
seem to think that if they just
present a forceful demeanor,
they can win the nomination with
as little as a third of the primary
vote and then win the election
largely on the basis of the pub-
lic’s dissatisfaction with eight
years of Democratic rule.
Maybe a Republican can win
that way but even then he won’t
be prepared to govern, won’t be
ready to advocate and enact the
profound policy changes Con-
necticut needs to survive. Just
halting Connecticut’s long de-
cline will require heroic politics.

CHOOSING WEDDING COLOR PALETTES
S ome brides may feel
beholden to the color
white on their wedding days,
at least in regard to their
gowns. Those who do often
embrace the opportunity
to showcase their personal
styles and set the mood for
their nuptials by embracing
various colors throughout
their ceremonies and recep-
tions.
Color can be a critical com-
ponent when establishing the
ambiance for a wedding. Color
can evoke certain moods and
set the tone for the day. Some
colors work better together
than others, so while choosing
a color scheme may seem like
an easy undertaking, some
couples may find it requires
more careful consideration
than they first imagined.
According to the bridal
guide A Practical Wedding,
wedding colors can give
couples a starting-off point
for all of the other details of
their weddings. This ensures
the wedding ultimately has
a cohesive look. Colors need
not necessarily match, but
borrowing on similar hues
can make it easier to plan
wedding party wardrobes,
flowers, table linens, and
much more.
Colors can come from
anywhere, but many couples
try to coordinate their color
schemes with the season
in which the wedding takes
place. In fact, couples who are
finding it difficult to decide on
a palette can look to seasonal
colors for inspiration. For
example, pastels and bloom-
ing flowers can set the scene
for spring weddings, while
jewel tones and rich reds
and greens may be fitting for
winter ceremonies.
Some couples opt for more
loosely defined color palettes,
such as neutral and natural
colors. Country and garden

STAMFORD POLICE ARREST
DRIVER IN FATAL CAR ACCIDENT
Stamford — Stamford police have made an
arrest in their investigation into a fatal car crash.
The accident occurred Nov. 22 when a BMW
traveling northbound on Washington Boulevard at
a high rate of speed lost control and struck a tree
off the east side of the roadway.
The driver, 20-year-old Kadeem Mitchell of
Stamford, and his passenger, 19-year-old Stamford
resident Donte Smith, were freed from the car and
taken to Stamford Hospital by ambulance.
Smith later died of his injuries.
Mitchell was released from medical treatment
on Saturday and taken into custody on a warrant
charging him with second degree manslaughter.
He was released after posting a $5,000 bond
and surrendering his passport. He’s scheduled to
be arraigned at Stamford Superior Court on Dec.

Providence — The American Red Cross is
helping several residents after a fire broke out in

The fire began early Saturday morning
displacing residents. Investigators are trying to
determine a cause of the blaze.
No injuries were reported.
Red Cross officials said they were providing
comfort kits containing personal care items
such as toothbrushes, deodorant, shaving
supplies and other items a resident might not
have been able to gather in the rush to escape
the fire.
The Red Cross also said it distributed enve-
lopes containing information helpful to families
recovering from a fire, including tips on cleanup;
notification of important contacts; and how to
deal with damaged items.

Cannabis regulators busy rolling out the rules
By BOB SALSBERG
Associated Press
Boston — From “cannabis
cafes” to “craft cooperatives,”
regulators have been laying out
a vision for what a potential
multibillion-dollar recreational
marijuana industry might look
like when retail sales begin
next year in Massachusetts.
The Cannabis Control Com-
mission reached tentative
agreement over the past week
on an array of rules and regu-
lations required to implement
the law approved by voters
last November and later mod-
ified by the Legislature.
Promoting diversity and
placing controls on the packag-
ing, marketing and advertising
of pot were other key issues
discussed by the five-member
panel, which is expected to for-
mally approve the regulations
in the coming days.
The rules would be open to
public comment before being
finalized in March.
Here are some highlights:
Social consumption
A pot shop typically works
much like a liquor store: You
go in, buy the product and take
it home to consume.
Regulators in Massachusetts
and other legal recreational
marijuana states have wrestled
with the issue of when, where
and how to let people use pot in
social settings and other estab-
lishments.
The commission ultimately
settled on two types of on-site
consumption licenses.
A primary use license would
be for businesses that derive
more than 50 percent of their
income from marijuana sales.
An example of such a business
model would be a cannabis bar
or cafe where patrons could
gather and use marijuana with
friends.
A major question, howev-
er, is whether smoking would
be allowed in such establish-
ments or if customers would
be limited to using marijuana
in other forms such as edibles.
The commission plans to form
a working group to make rec-
ommendations on “smoking
and other forms of social con-
sumption,” by July 1.
The second category, a mixed
use license, would be available
to businesses that may want to
make cannabis available to cus-
tomers in some fashion.

OBITUARIES
Linda Welchman
Waterford — Linda Welch-
man, 80, formerly of 56 Shore
Drive in Waterford, passed
away on Monday, Dec. 11, 2017,
at Bride Brook in Niantic.
She was born in December
1937, in Westchester County,
N.Y., the daughter of Van Van
Demark and Dorothy Horton.
Linda met her future hus-
band, J. Nicholas Welchman,
when they were students at
Tufts University. They married
in Boston in 1959, and would
celebrate their 53rd wedding
anniversary before his death
in 2012.
They moved to Connecticut
in 1963, initially settling in
Pomfret where she balanced
raising two children with
employment in the field of ed-
ucation, including posts at the
Pomfret Community School,
Pomfret School, the Rectory
School and later the EastConn
Educational Resource Center,
where she wrote grants, a skill
she took with her as a volun-
teer with a local children’s
boating organization (now
known as NESS).
She was a mainstay of
local community theatre
productions in the Pomfret
area for many years, regularly
performing in productions of
Gilbert and Sullivan operettas
as well as assisting backstage.
In 1985, she and her husband,
Nick, moved to Waterford,
where she enjoyed boating,
birdwatching and bridge. She
will be remembered for her
devotion to her family and
friends, her wit, good humor
and zest for life that mobility
challenges in later years did
not diminish.
She is survived by her
daughter Jennifer and her
husband, Robert Smith, of
Edmonton, Canada; her son
Geoffrey and his wife, Betty, of
Baltimore, Md.; grandchildren
Andrew, Rhys and Elly; and
siblings Marsha, Nancy and
Henry.

to Fairfield where she met her
first husband, Allen DeCec-

Freida was the Queen of
Christmas Eve, a master crib-
bage player and the original

friends and family and cook-
ing meals beyond compare.
She loved having a hearty
laugh, listening to music and
drinking a good Bacardi cock-
tail. Freida was a loyal mem-
ber of the Montville Union
Baptist Church and loved her
congregation deeply. Most of
all, Freida was a loving moth-
er, wife, sister, aunt, grand-
mother, great-grandmother,
cousin and friend. She has
left an imprint on this world
with her powerful, bright,
unapologetic soul and will
be remembered by all who
crossed her path.
Freida is survived by her
two children, Christopher A.
DeCecco and his wife, Kipp,
of Uncasville, and Cynthia A.

of Fairfield and Lois D’Oria of
Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.; her six
grandchildren, Lauriann (Yovi-

Jr., Sarah DeCecco, Michael
DeCecco, Allison Gimbert and
Rebecca (Gimbert) Tetreault.
She also leaves behind five
great-grandchildren, Mat-
thew, Lily, Cameron, Michael
and Landon, as well as many
nieces, nephews and cousins.

by her parents, Edward and
Anna Krample, and siblings,

Wreaths Across America comes to Waterford cemetery
FROM D1
America was founded in 2007
to expand a wreath-laying ef-
fort from Arlington National
Cemetery to cemeteries across
the country. Today, ceremo-
nies take place at more than
1,200 locations nationwide
and abroad.
Executive Director Karen
Worcester has said, “We are
not here to ‘decorate graves.’
We’re here to remember not
their deaths, but their lives.”
Close to Boston Post Road at
Jordan Cemetery, in front of a
backdrop of a large flag held up
by Waterford fire engines, the
ceremony began with the plac-
ing of seven wreaths.
They were in memory of
those who served and are
serving with the Army, Marine
Corps, Navy, Air Force, Coast
Guard and Merchant Marines,
along with those whose last-
known status was either Pris-
oner of War or Missing in Ac-
tion.
The master of ceremonies
was retired Navy Command
Master Chief Al Atkinson.
Waterford First Selectman
Dan Steward commented that
Waterford is proud to support
families and give them every-
thing they deserve, because
they have given everything for
us.
“American democracy is
messy and sometimes out-
right ugly as we openly debate
and argue with each other and
those in government about
what proper governance is.
It’s by design,” said Naval
Submarine School Capt. Aar-
on Thieme. “We must teach
our children that, for some,

the setlist with some selec-
tions from her 2008 release “A
New Thought for Christmas,”
along with other holiday
tunes. “Santa Claus Is Coming
To Town” made a rollicking
appearance. Etheridge dug
emotionally into what she de-
scribed as her favorite Christ-
mas song, “Happy Xmas (War
Is Over),” before segueing into
another John Lennon number,
“Give Peace a Chance.”
She shared the story of
how meeting and becoming
friends with a reservist who
served with the U.S. military
in the Middle East inspired
her to write “Christmas in
America”; in the lyrics, the
narrator wants a loved one to
be allowed to come home for
the holidays.
Etheridge promised a
concert of peace and joy, and
she sometimes sounded like
a retreat leader, at one point
encouraging concert-goers to
be strong, speak the truth, and
choose love.
New Jersey’s
next governor
can’t help
himself
Glen Ridge, N.J. (AP) — New
Jersey Gov.-elect Phil Murphy
is getting some pushback for
posing for photos next to a
cardboard cutout of Gov. Chris
Christie lounging on a beach
last summer.
Murphy told NJ Advance Me-
dia on Friday that he was stand-
ing near the cutout at an event
on Thursday night in Glen Ridge
and “couldn’t resist.”
“It was right in front of me!”
Murphy said, throwing up his
arms, while on a diplomatic
trip to Puerto Rico on Friday.
Christie came under intense
criticism after he was photo-
graphed with his family on a
beach closed to the public over
the Fourth of July weekend
due to a government shut-
down.

Judge rejects pseudonyms for pair in rape case have your little
By DAVE COLLINS
Associated Press
Hartford — A Connecticut
judge has issued an unusual
opinion rejecting the use of
pseudonyms by two college
students in a civil court case
over an alleged rape, saying
secrecy surrounding such cas-
es has only allowed sexual as-
saultive behavior to “flourish.”
Superior Court Judge David
Sheridan in Hartford released
his ruling Dec. 6. It came in the
case of a University of Con-
necticut student who alleges
in a lawsuit that another stu-
dent sexually assaulted her
on campus while she was in-
capacitated from alcohol and
marijuana use and could not
consent to sexual activity in
September 2015.
Both the accuser and the
accused asked Sheridan to al-
low them to use pseudonyms
in the case. The accused male
student denies the allegations,
and there is no record of a
criminal prosecution.
Some judges around the
country have allowed the use

of pseudonyms in alleged rape

ers have not. The issue typ-
ically involves weighing the
privacy rights of the people
involved in the lawsuits ver-
sus society’s interest in open
courts and how the justice
system deals with harmful be-
havior.
Sheridan wrote that the
accuser and the accused ap-
peared only to want to protect
themselves from embarrass-
ment and/or economic harm,
which are not justification
to use pseudonyms. He also
warned against the dangers of
secrecy in such cases.
“Sexual assault in all its
forms ... has caused enormous
damage to our society,” Sher-
idan wrote. “The secrecy and
lack of candor surrounding
this behavior has only allowed
it to flourish. The perceived
need for a pseudonym to avoid
embarrassment associated
with being a victim of sexual
assault or a defendant accused
of sexual assault has only exac-
erbated the ‘stigmatization.’”

Attorneys in the case did not
return messages seeking com-
ment.
The Associated Press is not
naming the accuser and the ac-
cused. The AP generally does
not name people who say they
have been sexually assaulted.
A court motion filed by the
accuser said her privacy rights
outweigh the presumption
that court proceedings should
be open to the public, “partic-
ularly due to the sensitivity of
the issues involved in this case,
the stigmatization of being the
victim of an alleged rape, and
the irreparable damage that
continuing as a named plaintiff
will entail.”
The accused student also
cited the potential fallout from
being named.
“A person who is wrongfully
accused of sexual assault faces
severely damaging and endur-
ing stigmatization in our com-
munity,” his lawyer wrote in a
court motion.

Vera Katz,
who helped
turn Portland
into hipster
haven, dies
Portland, Ore. (AP) — Vera
Katz, a Jewish refugee who
was elected to three terms as
Portland’s mayor and helped
transform it from a sleepy
backwater into a trendy city
known for its public transit,
eco-conscious design and live-
work architecture style, has
died. She was 84.
Katz was diagnosed with
acute leukemia this month
after undergoing dialysis for
more than a dozen years fol-
lowing cancer treatment.
U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden called
Katz an “indomitable wom-
an” who left a lasting impact
on Oregon and its largest city.
She also served as first female
speaker of the Oregon House.
A visionary urban planner
with the ability to reach across
the aisle, Katz oversaw plans
for the internationally known
Pearl District and neighbor-
hoods along the Willamette
River that changed the city in-
to a hipster haven and interna-
tional tourist destination.
A champion of the arts, Katz
also oversaw construction of
Lan Su Yuan, an intricate Su-
zhou-style Chinese garden
in the heart of the city’s old
town that draws visitors from
around the world.
“Vera Katz was more than a
pioneer. She was a force. She
escaped the Nazis. She battled
cancer. She ran the House. She
ran the city. She was a natural
leader. Vera led and people
followed,” said Oregon Senate
President Peter Courtney. “Or-
egon has lost a great human
being.”
Katz served three terms as
Portland’s mayor, from 1993
to 2005 — a critical period for
a city that was on the cusp of
evolution.
Katz was diagnosed with
breast cancer in 2000 and an
aggressive form of uterine
cancer in 2004.

“His timing, everything, was

People were interested in

Norwich City Council concerned over potential DCF move

FROM D1
The City Council will consid-
er a resolution at its 7:30 p.m.
meeting Monday to “express
concern” over the failure of
the state to renew the lease of
the 36,000 square feet of the
Shannon Building at 2 Court-
house Square and to express
opposition to any plans to re-
locate to the business park “or
elsewhere.”
An economic analysis con-
ducted by the Norwich Com-
munity Development Corp.
calculated that DCF’s presence
in downtown Norwich contrib-
utes approximately $1 million
directly and indirectly to the
city, Norwich Public Utilities
and downtown businesses.
State Sen. Cathy Osten,
D-Sprague, whose district in-
cludes Norwich, said she and
her staff are working with the
state Department of Adminis-
trative Services, which over-
sees state leases and real es-
tate transactions, and the Of-
fice of Policy and Management
on the lease issue.
Business benefits aside, Os-
ten said, the location down-
town is most convenient to
clients and fellow agencies
that work with DCF. The offic-
es are directly across from the
Norwich courthouse and with-
in walking distances of state
probation, family court, oth-
er state and city agencies, as
well as Safe Futures, Reliance
Health and other private agen-
cies clients might need.
“I think that things are go-
ing in the right direction, but
until we have a signed lease,
we can’t be sure,” Osten said.
Jason Ziegler, owner of the
Shannon Building, said DCF
occupies 95 percent of the
building, with offices on five
floors and an estimated 180 to
200 employees.
Ziegler said it’s not unusual
for the state to be renting long
after the lease expired, and at
one point the agency rented
for eight or nine years without
a lease. But he too is concerned
about the talk that DCF could
move to the business park.
Ziegler said he offered the
state a 40-year lease with rent
fixed at the current rate for
the entire time. In addition,
he already pays for the more
than 200 leased parking spac-
es at a private lot behind the
building and pays for janito-
rial services. He declined to
reveal dollar amounts with the
proposed lease still in negoti-
ations.
He said the state is review-
ing the proposal. “We’ve been
speaking for a few weeks now,”
he said.
A DAS spokesman could
not be reached for comment
Thursday.
Ziegler said securing a long-
term lease would be a ma-
jor benefit to downtown and
would signal to surrounding
building owners and potential
developers that the business
climate is stable, with high
numbers of potential custom-
ers at the key location.
“Someone considering mov-
ing into downtown would see
that there’s a 40-year lease (in
the Shannon Building), so it’s
stable,” Ziegler said.

Millstone finances, potential market changes under review by agencies

FROM D1
suffers from high operations
costs and competition with
cheaper natural gas. Regula-
tors, whose report released
Thursday said Millstone would
be profitable through 2035,
granted Dominion’s request to
keep the financial data secret.
But the Office of Consumer
Counsel, which advocates for
Connecticut’s utility custom-
ers, said in a recent motion
that it has “the absolute right”
to access substantive PURA
documents to see how the data
could eventually impact con-
sumers across the state.
Consumer Counsel Elin
Swanson Katz said in an in-
terview that the agency would
keep the data confidential as
requested by Dominion, which
says the information amounts
to trade secrets competitors
want to get their hands on.
“We’d like to see the infor-
mation so we have a better
sense of the details,” Katz said.
“We’ve been involved in parts
of the process, but I think to
really feel comfortable that we
understand the final report (on
Feb. 1, 2018), we’d like to see
the data.”
Another motion filed last
week came from energy com-
pany NRG, one of several firms
and groups questioning the
need for proposed energy mar-
ket changes they say would
unfairly tip the scales in Do-
minion’s favor.
“We’d like to see the information so we have
a better sense of the details.”
ELIN SWANSON KATZ, OFFICE OF CONSUMER COUNSEL
NRG called on Dominion to
identify the title and nature of
the secret documents; to sub-
mit redacted versions to the
public; and to submit “a sworn
affidavit testifying to the ve-
racity of the financial data sub-
mitted and identifying what,
if any, independent auditing
supports the data provided.”
Millstone spokesman Ken
Holt said Dominion was re-
viewing OCC’s and NRG’s mo-
tions. Holt has described NRG
as a competitor looking to gain
an edge.
PURA officials could not
be reached for comment, but
DEEP spokesman Chris Col-
libee said the agencies were
still studying the separate mo-
tions.
“We are accepting com-
ments and responses to the
motions from OCC and NRG
until Dec. 21, after which time
we will take all positions in-
to consideration and we will
issue a ruling after that,” Col-
libee said. “As this matter re-
mains under review, it would
be inappropriate to comment
at this time.”

NRG’s motions can be sub-

United States celebrates
after winning a women’s
World Cup Super-G race
in Val d’Isere, France on
Saturday. E8

East Lyme boys beat defending Class M champion Brookfield Page E3

Some wonderful memories on Geno’s road to 1,000 career wins

U nless Oklahoma authors a Mis-
sissippi State-like upset, history
happens Tuesday night at Mohegan
Sun Arena. What began Nov. 23, 1985
with win No. 1 at Iona has ping-
ponged its way to Neon Uncasville,
999 wins and 11 national champion-
ships later.
Yes. Our corner of the world has
the privilege of witnessing the narra-
tive of ongoing royalty in a few days:
victory No. 1,000 for Geno Auriemma
and Chris Dailey, the maestros of the
nation's preeminent college athletic
program, otherwise known as UConn
women's basketball.
And so the other day I e-mailed
Carl Adamec of the Manchester
Journal-Inquirer, the dean of UConn
women's beat writers. (Carl knows
MIKE DIMAURO more about that team than Geno
m.dimauro@theday.com does.) We compiled a list of our
favorite 10 games during Geno's run
to immortality. They are in chrono-
logical order:
• Jan. 6, 1996: UConn travels to
Tennessee, which its defeated to win
its first national title a year earlier.
The Lady Vols had a 69-game home
win streak at the time. Rita Williams
got shoved out of bounds and got
called for traveling in the second
half, prompting Auriemma to yell,
"Now you see why they've won 69 in
a row!" to press row.
The Huskies rallied late and won
59-53. The team got stranded in
Knoxville because of — giggle —
about four inches of snow that fell
after the game. Auriemma rented out
the bar (named "Knuckles") at the
team hotel to pass the time the next
day. Jennifer Rizzotti obliterated

Ledyard boys New cast, but same old Whalers

show plenty
of resolve
Colonels rally past NWC
in Spirit of Doc tourney
By MIKE DiMAURO
Day Assistant Sports Editor
Hartford — At the end of the first
quarter Saturday, the scoreboard
read, Northwest Catholic 14, Ledyard
2. Nothing like reality to illustrate
how far removed the Colonels looked
from last season's Eastern Connecti-
cut Conference championship.
But then, Ledyard didn't earn its
pedigree without a little resolve.
And while coach Dave Cornish used
the word "ugly"
several times to Ledyard 43
describe the day, NW Catholic 35
his team accom-
plished the only thing that truly mat-
tered.
Ledyard clinked and clanked its
way to a 43-35 victory over North-
west Catholic in the Spirit of Doc
Tournament at Trinity College, hon-
oring the late Doc Hurley, an inspi-
rational educator in the Hartford
schools.
Ledyard allowed the aforemen-
tioned 14 points after one period, but
21 the rest of the game.
"It was ugly," Cornish said. "I'd
say it was mostly nerves. Trevor
(Hutchins) and Ken (Turner) were the
only ones out there with real varsity
experience."
Turner led the Colonels with 10
points and eight rebounds, while
Hutchins and Devin Rickerson scored
eight apiece. Turner made two free
throws and Rickerson scored coming
out of a timeout in the last minute to
help seal the game.
Maybe the biggest shot, however,
came from sophomore guard Jaiden
Bickham, who made a 3-pointer with
3:30 left to give Ledyard its biggest
lead up to that point, 35-30.
Ledyard, normally preferring man-
to-man defense, went to a 2-3 zone
most of the game. Northwest Catho-
lic had eight field goals combined in
the last three periods.
"I don't like zone," Cornish said.
"But we're a long team. Trevor and
Devin were in foul trouble. That's
what we had to go do today."
Cornish knows it might take a
while for him to grasp his team's
strengths and weaknesses. Still, a win
over a brand name — Northwest is a
six-time state champion — isn't a bad
way to start.
"It'll take about eight games to
know the identity," Cornish said.
"And we can start to put pieces to-
gether. I still don't know who I'm go-
ing to start the next game."
Ledyard's win over Northwest
Catholic of the Central Connecticut
Conference and East Lyme's win over
defending Class M champ Brookfield
later Saturday gave the ECC an en-
couraging start to the season.

After unveiling another
state championship
banner, New London
thumps Torrington
By VICKIE FULKERSON
Day Scholastic Sports Editor
New London — The players who
helped capture last season's Class LL
state championship banner that was
unveiled Saturday and the players on
the floor  for the New London High
School girls' basketball team for the
ensuing game against Torrington were
not quite the same.
The notable absences: former all-
staters and current Division I players
India Pagan (Stony Brook) and Jada Lu-
cas (Hartford).
But it was two games into a fresh sea-
son, following a 74-
25 victory Saturday, New London 74
when Leilani Mc- Torrington 25
Clennan — the new
point guard (replacing Lucas) — was
asked her thoughts on the unit that's
now on the floor.
"We're going to be fine," said McClel-
lan, who finished with nine points and
five of the Whalers' 29 steals, which
came  in  furious stretches. "As New
London, we always have to prove some-
thing. We always have to prove what we
have. We've been working since the end
of the year for this. It's just hard work
and dedication."
Tai Pagan, New London's junior cen-
ter and India's younger sister, had 21
points, 11 rebounds, six steals and four
blocked shots for the Whalers (2-0),
who ended last season ranked No. 1 in
the final state poll after a magical run.
The returning starters played with
a great deal of conviction and hustle,
too. Cora Sawyer had 12 points, nine re-
bounds and team highs in steals (8) and
assists (5), Rosalee Nicholson had eight
points and five steals and Spencer Ro-
man eight points, as well.
"We're just getting back into the
swing of things," said Pagan, who also
had 20 points and 11 rebounds in New
London's opener earlier in the week.
"We played together since we were lit-
tle. We all know our playing styles.
"I knew what I had (prior to this
year). With Indy gone, it was my chance
to make my mark now, to live up to her
name. ... I think people like hearing
hearing, 'Pagan.'"
In true point guard style, Lucas
guided the cord that dropped the state
championship banner hanging from the

simultaneously challenging the front
office to upgrade the talent around
him.
Coach Mike Tomlin and defensive
coordinator Keith Butler set about
revamping a secondary that looked
confused and overmatched as Brady
picked it apart.

Defending champ James Madison returning to FCS championship game
Marcus Marshall broke loose on a pair
of long touchdown runs, Jimmy Moreland
made three interceptions and defending
FCS national champion James Madison re-
turned to the title game with a 51-16 victory
Saturday night over South Dakota State,
which gave up 10 turnovers.
The top-seeded Dukes (14-0) won their
FCS-tying 26th straight game to return
to the championship game against No. 2
seed North Dakota State, a 55-13 winner
over Sam Houston State on Friday night.
James Madison beat the Bison in the
semifinals last year, ending NDSU's run of
five consecutive national championships.
The championship game will be played in
Frisco, Texas, on Jan. 6.
Marshall, who helped set up a last-min-
ute touchdown in the first half with a 38-
yard kickoff return, raced up the middle to
score twice to begin a 30-point third period
that broke the game open. First he went
65 yards to score, and on the Dukes' next
possession he sprinted for a career-best 87
yard TD run and a 35-10 lead.
South Dakota State (11-3), the fifth
seed, was making its sixth straight playoff
appearance and first semifinal. The Jack-
rabbits came in averaging 38.8 points per
game and boasting a regular-season win
over Missouri Valley Football Conference
rival and champion NDSU but went up
against a Dukes team giving up only 10.3
points per game.
Jackrabbits quarterback Taryn Christion
was intercepted six times, including a pick-
6, and lost three fumbles, two coming after
the ball slipped from his hand. All five of
the Jackrabbits' first-quarter possessions
ended with turnovers but the only points
the Dukes managed came on a 2-yard pass
from Bryan Schor to Riley Stapleton that
was set up when Christion dropped the ball
and Brandon Herferd picked it up at the
SDSU 15 and carried it to the 5.
The Jackrabbits turned their fortunes on
their first possession of the second quarter,
driving 74 yards on eight plays with Chris-
tion throwing 9 yards to Jake Wieneke. The
TD catch was Wieneke's 59th of his career,
snapping a tie for second in the FCS. He
also broke a tie for first with former Eastern
Washington University and current Los An-
geles Rams receiver Cooper Kupp for most
consecutive games with a catch with 54.
James Madison responded on its next
possession with a 10-play, 75-yard drive
that culminated with a 15-yard TD catch by
Stapleton.

Syracuse rallies past Georgetown in a battle of old rivals

BOBBY BANCROFT
Associated Press
Washington — It was a lot like old
times Saturday, with Jim Boeheim
and Patrick Ewing facing each other
for the first time as opposing coach-
es in one of college basketball's best
rivalries.
There was, however, one notice-
able difference.
“There wasn't any blood on the
floor,” Boeheim said.
Tyus Battle had 29 points, Oshae
Brissett had 25 points and 14 re-
bounds, and Syracuse overcame a
13-point second half deficit to defeat
Georgetown 86-79 in overtime.
Frank Howard added 19 points for
Syracuse (9-1), which made 10 of 23
3-pointers on the afternoon in stag-
ing a fierce comeback over the final 10
minutes of regulation.
“The 3-point line, usually it works
the other way against us but today
the 3-point line worked for us which
is highly unusual,” Boeheim said.
Jessie Govan had 21 points and
eight rebounds and Marcus Derrick-
son had 14 points and eight rebounds
for Georgetown (8-1), which entered
Saturday as one of six undefeated
teams in Division I. Jagan Mosely had
20 points off the bench for the Hoyas.
Brissett had just one point at half-
time but struck for 24 after the break
and finished four for seven from be-
hind the arc. Coming into the game
Brissett was shooting 24 percent on
3-pointers and had made just nine
this season.
“I just had to try and find different
spots to get open and I was able to do
that in the second half,” Brissett said.
Battle took over in overtime by
scoring eight points, including a long
3-pointer on the first possession that
put the Orange on top for good at 72-
69.
Syracuse ended a two-game losing
streak to former Big East foe George-
town and last beat the Hoyas on the
road in 2011.
“It's a game we should have won,”
said Ewing, who went 8-3 as a player
against Syracuse in the 1980s. “When
you're up double figures, especial-
ly going down the stretch, you can't
make the mistakes that we made.”
Both teams had 16 turnovers.
Howard stripped Govan and hit a
layup with one minute remaining to
make it 69-69. Syracuse missed three
shots at the end of regulation.
Mosely hit two free throws to give
Georgetown its largest lead of 53-40
but Syracuse used a 5-0 spurt to pull
back within eight after Brissett's
3-pointer with 9:55 remaining.
Georgetown led 64-57 with 5:23
left when Derrickson was called for a
charge and fouled out. The Hoyas were
outscored 29-13 the rest of the way.
Neither team led by more than five
points in the first half. Both teams
shot 37 percent (10 for 27) from the
field.
“This was a great game today, it
was like a firecracker compared to a
bomb to those games,” Boeheim said
when comparing Saturday's game to
when he coached against Ewing as a
player.
Big picture
Syracuse: The Orange survived
their first road test of the season and
won't play again away from home un-
til traveling to South Bend to face No-
tre Dame on Jan 6. Syracuse had gone
1-1 in neutral site games in losing to
then No. 2 Kansas while defeating
former Big East rival Connecticut at
Madison Square Garden.
Georgetown: The Hoyas missed on
their only chance to pick up a quali-
ty nonconference win. Georgetown's
previous opponents had a combined
record of 24-64. The Hoyas last de-
feated Syracuse three straight times
between 2000 and 2002.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL / BOWL ROUNDUP

Las Vegas Bowl
No. 25 Boise State 38, Oregon 28
Cedrick Wilson caught 10 passes for 221 yards and a touchdown,
Kekaula Kaniho returned an interception 53 yards for a score and
No. 25 Boise State beat Oregon 38-28 in the Las Vegas Bowl on
Saturday.
Brett Rypien threw for 362 yards and two touchdown passes —
with two interceptions — to help the Broncos (11-3) break a three-
game losing streak against Power 5 opposition. Ryan Wolpin
rushed for two touchdowns.
Troy Dye and Tyree Robinson each scored a defensive touchdown,
and Justin Herbert was 26 of 36 passing for 233 yards with two
touchdowns and two interceptions for the Ducks (7-6) in new
head coach Mario Cristobal’s debut.
Boise State forced four turnovers in the first half, taking a 14-0
lead in the first quarter on Wolpin’s 1-yard touchdown run and
Rypien’s 26-yard scoring pass to Wilson. Haden Hoggarth added
a 39-yard field goal before an off-balance Herbert heaved a pass
toward the sideline that was easily picked off and run back by
Kaniho, who also had a strip-sack.
Oregon clawed back into it with two defensive touchdowns in
the final minute of the first half. Dye recovered a fumble on a
botched Statue of Liberty handoff and returned it 86 yards for a
touchdown with 37 seconds remaining to get the Ducks on the
scoreboard.
A 65-yard reception by Wilson to set the Boise State single-sea-
son record for yards receiving got the Broncos right back in the
red zone, but Robinson picked off Rypien’s pass in the end zone
and took it back 100 yards on the longest interception return in
school history with 7 seconds remaining to make it 24-14.
New Orleans Bowl
Troy 50, North Texas 30
Brandon Silvers passed for four touchdowns and ran for another,
Troy produced five turnovers and the Trojans beat North Texas.
Josh Anderson, filling in for injured starter Jordan Chunn, rushed
for 113 yards and two touchdowns, and Silvers also scored on a
short run to help Troy (11-2) win for the 21st time in two seasons.
Silvers passed for 306 yards. Two of his TD passes went to Damion
Willis, who had 136 yards and two TDs receiving on a New Orleans
Bowl-record-tying 11 catches.
Mason Fine passed for 303 yards and three touchdowns for North
Texas (9-5), but was intercepted twice and fumbled twice. He
finished with Mean Green single-season records of 4,052 yards
and 31 TDs passing.
Cure Bowl
Georgia State 27, Western Kentucky 17
Conner Manning threw for 276 yards and a touchdown to lead
Georgia State to a winning record with the first bowl victory in the
school’s eight-year football history in Orlando, Fla.
Manning threw a 42-yard touchdown pass pass to Roger Carter,
Demarcus Kirk scored on a 26-yard run, and Kyler Neal finished a
16-play drive consuming nine minutes of the fourth quarter with a
1-yard scoring run that put Georgia State (7-5) up 27-10.
Mike White had TD passes of 54 and 4 yards to Deon Yelder and
finished with 351 yards for Western Kentucky (6-7). Yelder had five
receptions for 112 yards.
New Mexico Bowl
Marshall 31, Colorado State 28
Keion Davis rushed for 141 yards, including a 68-yard touchdown
run, and Marshall had two other big scoring plays in a 31-28 victo-
ry over Colorado State in Albuquerque.
Chase Litton threw for 262 yards and two touchdowns, helping
the Thundering Herd (8-5) hold off the Rams (7-6).
Tyre Brady had 165 yards receiving and gave the Thundering Herd

COLLEGE BASKETBALL / TOP 25 MEN’S ROUNDUP
Wichita State’s Landry Shamet, right, fights for the ball against Oklahoma guard Jordan Shepherd during Saturday’s
game in Wichita, where the Sooners upset the No. 3 Shockers 91-83.

Cassius Winston scored 19 points, and No.
2 Michigan State went on a 12-2 run late in
the second half to hold off Oakland 86-73 on
Saturday in Detroit.
Kendrick Nunn scored 32 points for the
upset-minded Golden Grizzlies, who stayed
right with the talented Spartans (10-1) until
the final minutes. Michigan State improved to
16-0 against Oakland, but only after the type
of test the Spartans can expect again from
underdogs down the road.
Nick Ward had 15 points and 15 rebounds
for Michigan State, which finished with a
45-30 edge on the boards and made enough
outside shots to keep Oakland (6-5) at bay. It
was tied at 66 before the decisive run by the
Spartans.
Oklahoma 91, No. 3 Wichita State 83
Freshman Trae Young had 29 points and 10
assists, lifting Oklahoma to the upset road win.
The nation’s leading scorer, Young had 16
points on 6-of-9 shooting in the first 9 min-
utes, pushing the Sooners (8-1) to a lead they
would never relinquish.
Freshman forward Brady Manek scored 16 of
his 21 points in the first half for Oklahoma.
Darral Willis led the Shockers (8-2) with 20
points and 12 rebounds. Landry Shamet had
17 points.
No. 6 Miami 59, Geo. Washington 50
Dewan Huell scored 15 points and Lonnie
Walker IV had 13, helping unbeaten Miami to
the road win.
The Hurricanes (9-0) ripped off 13 of the
game’s first 15 points on their way to a
21-point lead. The scrappy Colonials pulled
within seven with 13:53 remaining, but the
rally fizzled down the stretch.
Playing its first game since Dec. 5, Miami shot
41 percent from the field, including a 5-for-21
day from beyond the arc.
Jair Bolden had 13 points for the Colonials
(5-6), who shot 18.5 percent (5 for 27) from
the field in the first half and finished at 30.2
percent overall.
No. 8 Kentucky 93, Virginia Tech 86
Kevin Knox scored 21 points, and Kentucky
outlasted Virginia Tech 93-86 for its most
significant victory this season at home.
Kentucky (9-1) made a season-high 11 3-point-
ers in its seventh straight win. Hamidou Diallo
had 20 points for the Wildcats, and Quade
Green added 17 points while wearing shaded
protective glasses after injuring his eye last
week against Monmouth.
Ahmed Hill scored 20 points and Justin
Robinson had 19 for Virginia Tech (8-2), which
entered the game leading the nation in scor-
ing (96.2 points). The Hokies shot 58 percent,
but committed 19 turnovers leading to 36
Kentucky points.
No. 10 Xavier 68, East Tenn. St. 66
Trevon Bluiett’s jumper with 6.3 seconds
left completed Xavier’s rally from a 22-point
second-half deficit.
The Musketeers (10-1) overcame their worst
shooting performance of the season, making
clutch shots at the end to pull it out. Bluiett
missed 11 straight shots and was only 7 of 22
from the field for 18 points, but made the one
that mattered.
ETSU (6-4) led 51-29 with 14:24 to go, but
couldn’t hold off the Musketeers.
Rutgers 71, No. 15 Seton Hall 65
Corey Sanders scored eight of his season-high
22 points during Rutgers’ game-ending 17-2
run, leading the Scarlet Knights to their big-
gest victory since Steve Pikiell became coach
last year.
Freshman Geo Baker added 17 and Deshawn
Freeman had 12 points and 16 rebounds as the
Scarlet Knights (10-3) beat a ranked team for
the first time since defeating No. 4 Wisconsin
in January 2015.

the victory.

The Wildcats (4-4), also playing for the first
time in 11 days, got 20 points from Peyton
Aldridge and 12 from Oskar Michelsen.
No. 17 Purdue 82, Butler 67
Carsen Edwards scored 18 points, Vincent
Edwards and Isaac Haas had 15 apiece, and
Purdue got its second win in the seven-year
history of the Crossroads Classic in Indianap-
olis.
The Boilermakers (11-2) never trailed on the
way to their first win in the series in nearly
two decades. Purdue had lost five in a row
to Butler since its previous victory over the
Bulldogs on Dec. 19, 1998.
Kelan Martin had 17 points for the Bulldogs
(8-3), who went into the annual classic in Indi-
anapolis with a five-game winning streak.
Ryan Cline’s 3-pointer with 6 seconds left in
the first period gave Purdue a 35-19 halftime
lead.
Indiana 80, No. 18 Notre Dame 77 (OT)
Juwan Morgan scored 19 of his career-high
34 points in the last 8 1/2 minutes, helping
Indiana erase an eight-point deficit and beat
Notre Dame in overtime.
Indiana coach Archie Miller got his biggest
win of his first season with the Hoosiers (6-5)
in his first appearance at the Crossroads
Classic, an annual doubleheader between the
state’s four highest profile teams.

everyone else (including the media)
playing pool. The team flew to Miami
the next day while a blizzard crippled
Connecticut. Auriemma managed to
play a round of golf at Doral the day
before the game, inviting some of us
to join. The alligator sunning itself
near the 14th green was a learning
experience.
• Dec. 2, 1997: After the first media
timeout, UConn trailed Villanova,
8-0. Auriemma utters one of his best
in-game lines, muttering to Dailey,
"We're going to get shut out." Paige
Sauer finally hit a 3-pointer a little
more than five minutes into the
game. UConn won, 67-27.
• Nov. 17, 1998: After playing a
two-game tournament in San Jose,
Adamec, the late Randy Smith and
yours truly made the 8-hour drive
down the Pacific Coast Highway
for the next game at UCLA. Smith
unloaded a number of memorable
lines en route, including some bewil-
derment at why Pepperdine, whose
gorgeous campus we passed, doesn't
win the national championship in
every sport.
The UCLA game began at vener-
able Pauley Pavilion with defense
optional. It's 60-54 UConn at
halftime. Auriemma turns to Dailey
and yells "we just gave up 50 (gosh
darn) points." A young woman on a
recruiting visit giggled. Her name:
Diana Taurasi.
• Jan 27, 1999: My favorite UConn
game ever. One of the few times
the program has been a legitimate
underdog.
This was a few days after the Hus-
kies, with several key players injured,
got throttled at Boston College. Next
up: a trip to Rutgers. The Scarlet
Knights, mouthy in those days, sali-
vated at the thought. We in the media
preached doom and gloom. How
could UConn come within 20?
UConn keeps it close, but was
down a point late. Rutgers had the
ball. Suddenly, Svetlana Abrosimova
stole it. UConn scored and won 56-55.
Abrosimova was asked after the
game how she had the presence of
mind to make such a big play.
"Coach said we needed a steal,"
Svet said, in complete and total
deadpan.
• Jan. 20, 2000: The Hart Center
at Holy Cross was sold out for the
first time and the Crusaders hung in
the game for a while. In the second
half, Shea Ralph and Anna Kinne
almost got in a fight, while Auriem-
ma laughed on the bench. (He loved
Anna Kinne).
Then near the end with the game
hardly in question, Auriemma sat on
the bench while a Holy Cross student
stood behind him with a sign: "He
just farted." Dailey, Jamelle Elliott
and Tonya Cardoza almost fell to the
floor in laughter.
• March 6, 2001: Maybe the most
surreal night in the history of the
program. A blizzard paralyzed the
state in the middle of the Big East
tournament. UConn won its semifinal
on March 5 over Rutgers, but not be-
fore the snow on the roof of Gampel
caused a leak that delayed the game.
Several media and staff spent the
night at Gampel.
The next night, Sue Bird made the
most famous mad dash down court
in program history, making a shot at
the buzzer to beat Notre Dame and
win the Big East title. Gampel went
berserk in both joy and revenge.
A few months earlier, Notre Dame
dethroned UConn as the nation's No.
1 team, hammering the Huskies in
South Bend on Martin Luther King's
birthday.
• Jan. 4, 2003: Why is Geno in the
Hall of Fame? There's 11.4 seconds
left, UConn had a 50-game winning
streak but was down three. He had
Diana Taurasi. For whom did he de-
sign the game-tying 3-pointer? Maria
Conlon. Of course, the play didn't
work. Taurasi had to go get the ball
from Jessica Moore and hit a three to
force overtime. UConn won 63-62.
• Feb. 1, 2003: One of the great
nights in program history. The first
trip to Duke. Cameron Indoor Stadi-
um was sold out and the Crazies were
in midseason form.
They chanted "Luigi!" which is
Auriemma's given name, "Princess
Leia" at Taurasi and "Husky Women"
at the team, which was the best one
of all.
UConn took a 26-point second-half
lead until Sally Bell hit Auriemma
with a technical. It inspired a Duke
rally that fell short. Randy Smith
chided Auriemma in his column
about the technical, reasoning that
"no one has had more practice with a
26-point lead than he does."
• March 30-April 1, 2003: In be-
tween the wins over Boston College
and Purdue during the East Region-
als in Dayton, Geno made fun of the
friendship between Harry Perretta
and Pat Summit:
"Harry left me for an older wom-
an," Auriemma said.
It was the lead to "SportsCenter"
that night.
• April 8, 2013: Just when the nar-
rative had become how Notre Dame
"had UConn's number," the Huskies
responded with maybe the sweetest
win in the whole rivalry.
Notre Dame had beaten UConn
three times that year and seven of
the last eight times overall. Until
Breanna Stewart — whose freshman
year was inconsistent before the
tournament — led the way to an
83-65 win at the Final Four in New
Orleans. UConn won the national title
the next night.

East Lyme
surprises
Brookfield
Day Staff Reports
East Lyme — East Lyme opened its
season with a bang on Saturday.
Dev Ostrowski scored 26 points,
including two big 3-pointers and a
thunderous dunk that gave the Vi-
kings the lead for good with just un-
der three minutes remaining, as East
Lyme defeated  defending Class M
champion Brookfield 66-57 on open-
ing day of the high school boys' bas-
ketball season.
Brookfield, which trailed 20-7 af-
ter one quarter,
had fought back ROUNDUP
to take the lead
midway through the fourth quarter
before Ostrowski, the junior all-state
product, worked his magic and willed
East Lyme to the win.
Luke Leonard also scored 26 points
for the Vikings. Both players made
four 3-pointers.

Whalers' bench. New London then took
off on an 8-0 run to start the game and
went on a 47-12 blitz as of halftime.
The Whalers scored the final 19
points of the second quarter, beginning
with a 3-pointer by McClellan and end-
ing with six straight points by Nichol-
son. A number of times, Torrington,
which was 15-5 in the regular season
last year and reached the second round
of the Class L tournament, didn't make
it past halfcourt before being derailed
by a New London steal.
Nicholson reversed direction on the
front end of a fast break with 25.5 sec-
onds left in the first half, leaving her un-
guarded for a layup that made it 47-12.
New London coach Holly Misto used
her starters sparingly in the second
half, with Nicholson and Roman on the
bench to begin the third quarter. Sophia
Torres scored eight of her nine points in
the fourth quarter for the Whalers, who
face Hartford Capital on Wednesday in
the first meeting of the teams since the
2016 Class L state championship game,
won by Capital.
"Cora's always aggressive, playing
her hardest. Rosi, too. She just keeps
going. She doesn't have a stop button,"
Pagan said.
"Coach is always hard on us to make
sure we get everything done," McClel-
lan said of the Whalers' preparation for
a new season, "to keep our intensity New London’s K.D. Spencer Roman, front, attempts to steal the ball from Torrington’s Alyssa Marala (23)

Zuccarello’s goal in OT lifts Rangers by Bruins

By KEN POWTAK
Associated Press
Boston   — Henrik Lundqvist has
seen Mats Zuccarello's shot many
times during practice so he knows
how tough it is to stop.
Zuccarello
Rangers 3 scored a pow-
Bruins 2 er-play goal
1:56 into over-
time to lift the New York Rangers to
a 3-2 victory over the Boston Bruins
on Saturday.
Skating 4-on-3 in the OT after Bos-
ton was whistled for too many men
on the ice, Zuccarello beat Rask with
a rising shot from the right circle to
lift the Rangers to their ninth win in
13 games overall (9-3-1) and their sev-
enth straight against the Bruins.
"It's such a quick release," said
Lundqvist, who made 33 saves play-
ing on back-to-back days. "Every
team has one or two players that can
snap the puck like that. As a goalie,
you just have to be on your toes at all
times.
"It's hard. He fakes it. Looks you off
and it comes at you real fast."
Michael Grabner and J.T. Miller al-
so scored for New York, which recov-
ered after giving up a 2-0 lead.
Rangers coach Alain Vigneault
treated this one like an important
game, going to Lundqvist again.
"Like I said before, it was a big
game and Henrik had been playing
real well," he said. "I just thought it
was the right thing to do."
Bruins coach Bruce Cassidy
thought the penalty in OT was the
correct call.
"It was all three of them. Some-
times you try to gain an advantage
and get away with it." he said. "I can't
complain about it. It's a lousy way to
lose."
Brad Marchand and Danton Heinen
scored for Boston, which lost its sec-
ond straight after winning nine of 11.
Tuukka Rask stopped 25 shots.
Trailing 2-1, the Bruins tied it on
Marchand's power-play goal at 5:38
of the third period. Marchand one-
timed a cross-ice pass from David
Pastrnak from the right circle for his
13th. Boston got the power play after
Marchand drew a holding penalty on
David Desharnais.
"There was a period where we
weren't at our best, but we battled
back," Rask said.
Boston's David Krejci hit a post
with seven minutes left in regulation.
The Rangers took a 1-0 lead when
Grabner benefited from a fluky
bounce with 5:18 left in the first. He
fired a shot from the slot that sailed
over the net, but the puck caromed
off the glass and hit Rask's back be-
fore sliding into the net for Grabner's
team-leading 16th goal.
New York made it 2-0 on Miller's
power-play goal 2:41 into the second.
With Krejci off for high-sticking, Mill-
er collected Ryan McDonagh's pass
near Boston's blue line at full speed,
cut into the zone, shifted around de-
fenseman Brandon Carlo and lifted a
backhander behind Rask.
Rask kept it a two-goal game by
making a nice right-pad stop on Rick
Nash's clean breakaway while the
Bruins were on a power play.
Heinen then sliced Boston's deficit
in half by tipping Zdeno Chara's snap
shot between Lundqvist's pads with
2:48 left in the second. MICHAEL DWYER/AP PHOTO

Yankees, CC Sabathia
agree on one-year deal
By ERIK BOLAND
Newsday (TNS)
The reunion that made too much
sense not to happen finally did Sat-
urday when free agent CC Sabathia
agreed to a one-year, $10 million con-
tract with the Yankees, a source con-
firmed.
The deal is contingent on the left-
hander passing his physical.
Re-signing the 37-year-old Sa-
bathia, respected and beloved in all
corners of the Yankees clubhouse,
was targeted quickly as an offseason
priority.
That was the case even before the
Yankees were turned down by Japa-
nese pitcher/outfielder Shohei Ohtani
earlier this offseason. Once they were
— the 23-year-old Ohtani chose the
Angels — bringing Sabathia back into
the fold became even more pressing.
And even with the addition of Sa-
bathia, the Yankees will still explore
opportunities to add one more start-
er to a group that, as of now, includes
Luis Severino, Masahiro Tanaka,
Sonny Gray, Jordan Montgomery and
Sabathia. Prospects Justus Sheffield
and Chance Adams are among the
young arms who are slated to make a
push this spring.
After going 18-26 with a 4.42 ERA
in the previous three seasons and
battling issues with his right knee,
Sabathia turned back the clock this
past season. While not entirely re-
capturing the form that made him an
ace much of his career, Sabathia was
mostly terrific, going 14-5 with a 3.69
ERA, his lowest ERA since 2012, when
it was 3.38.
Sabathia went 1-1, 2.37 in four
postseason outings, including Game 7
of the ALCS against the Astros when
he was wild over 31/3 innings (he
threw 36 strikes and 29 balls) but al-
lowed just one run.
Afterward, Sabathia left no doubt
where he wanted to pitch in 2018.

Some holiday shopping

Boston — The Boston Red Sox held
a Christmas carnival at Fenway Park

competitor does."
The market got even thinner this
week when Carlos Santana came
off the market, but Boston was not
willing to go near the $60 million,
three-year contract he got from the
Philadelphia Phillies. That leaves
free agents J.D. Martinez and Eric
Hosmer, as well as a potential trade
for Baltimore third baseman Man-
ny Machado, as the best sluggers on
Boston's shopping list.
New manager Alex Cora said he
wasn't worried about his bosses fill-
ing the gap.
"There's no deadline in the offsea-

as Knicks win their fourth straight
By BRIAN MAHONEY
AP Basketball Writer
New York — Carmelo Anthony got
the cheers but the New York Knicks
got the win, shutting out their for-
mer All-Star
Knicks 111 in the second
Thunder 96 half and beat-
ing the Okla-
homa City Thunder 111-96 on Sat-
urday night for their fourth straight
victory.
Michael Beasley tied his season
high with 30 points in place of in-
jured Kristaps Porzingis, and Doug
McDermott, one of the players ac-
quired for Anthony, added 11 of his
13 after halftime to help the Knicks
break open the game.
Anthony scored 12 points in the
first half but was 0 for 5 after, per-
haps low on energy after the Thun-
der's three-overtime victory at Phil-
adelphia a night earlier.
Early cheers, then boos
He made a 3-pointer for the Thun-
der's first basket of the game after
a warm welcome back to the arena
where he spent 6 1/2 years, finishing
5 of 18 from the field.
Russell Westbrook had 25 points,
seven rebounds and seven assists
for the Thunder, who were trying to
sweep a three-game trip that began
with Paul George's winning return
to Indiana on Wednesday.
But they couldn't deliver a victory
for Anthony back at Madison Square
Garden, even with the Knicks play-
ing without leading scorer Porzingis
because of a knee injury.

soon they were coming every time
he touched the ball.
Later, the cheers for all for the
Knicks, who after trading their lead-
ing scorer on the eve of training

than Anthony's new team (14-15).
Anthony was booed one last time
as he was removed with 1.4 seconds
remaining.
Beasley had a hand in 12 of the
Knicks' final 15 points of the third
quarter, scoring nine himself and
assisting on Ron Baker's 3-pointer.
That turned a two-point lead into an
80-73 advantage over the final 3 ½
minutes of the period.
The Knicks pushed it into double
digits in the fourth between five
straight points from McDermott —
originally it was six by a 3-pointer

3-pointer with 6:02 remaining.

Dodgers get Kemp back
By BETH HARRIS
AP Sports Writer
Matt Kemp is returning to the place
where he began his major league
career, reacquired by the Los Ange-
les Dodgers on Saturday as part of
a five-player trade with the Atlanta
Braves that creates more financial flex-
ibility for the reigning NL champions.
The Dodgers sent first baseman
Adrian Gonzalez, oft-injured start-
ing pitchers Scott Kazmir and Bran-
don McCarthy, infielder Charlie Cul-
berson and cash to Atlanta for the
33-year-old Kemp.
Gonzalez agreed to waive his no-
trade clause after receiving assur-
ance from the Braves that he would

to Florida soon to meet with some of

of Hurricane Maria. The team has a

they are already set at first base with
Freddie Freeman.
After sitting on the sidelines
during the recent winter meetings,
the Dodgers moved quickly to dump
nearly $50 million in salary commit-
ted to Gonzalez, Kazmir and McCar-
thy for 2018.
Kemp is owed about $43 million
over the next two seasons.
Los Angeles was looking to reduce
baseball's highest payroll of $240
million last season as a way of lower-
ing exposure to higher luxury taxes.
The deal made sense for the
Braves, too, since the players they ac-
quired all have expiring contracts.

Foles takes over

for red-hot Eagles
By TOM CANAVAN
AP Sports Writer
East Rutherford, N.J. — Nick Foles
isn't getting a three-week grace peri-
od in replacing Carson Wentz as the
quarterback with the NFC East cham-
pion Philadelphia Eagles.
The Eagles (11-2) still have work to
do in the regular season, and it begins
today when the 28-year-old Foles
makes his first start against the reel-
ing New York Giants (2-11) at MetLife
Stadium.
The immediate goals are right
there. If the Eagles win, they clinch a
first-round bye. They claim the NFC's
No. 1 seed — home-field advantage
throughout — with a win and a loss
by Minnesota (10-3).
Foles in not an untested backup. He
threw 27 TDs and two interceptions
in 10 starts in 2013, and had 13 TDs
and 10 interceptions in eight games
the following year before breaking
his collarbone.
Philadelphia coach Doug Pederson
reminded his players this week that
while Wentz has made a major dif-
ference in getting them to this point
with 33 touchdown passes and seven
interceptions in what was an MVP-
type season, football is more than
one outstanding player.
"... It's about team and it's my job
to make sure that everybody under-
stands that and as coaches and play-
ers, too, we just got to make sure this
time of year that nothing gets over-
looked," he said. "We're crossing ev-
ery 'T' and dotting every 'I' and we're
prepared each week to take on anoth-
er set of challenges. We're still playing
for potential home field and that's the
exciting part about it. It's still in our
control and, yet, it's a team sport."
While this game appears to be a
mismatch, the Eagles know winning a
division game is never easy. Remem-
ber Sept. 24?
The Eagles' recent nine-game win-
ning streak started with a 27-24 win
over the Giants in Philadelphia on a
franchise-record 61-yard field goal by
Jake Elliott on the final play.
The Giants haven't forgotten the
game. They are also trying to get in-
terim coach Steve Spagnuolo a win.
He replaced the fired Ben McAdoo
on Dec. 4, and in his first game New
York was tied with Dallas 10-10 in the
fourth quarter last weekend before
losing 30-10.
"With the talented group that they
have, they're at the top of the NFC
as a whole, so for it to go down to a
61-yard field goal, it shows that we
can compete with them. We can com-
pete with the best," Giants running
back Orleans Darkwa.
Foles tossed two TD passes and
had a 114.9 rating in his only career
game at the Giants on Oct. 6, 2013.
Some things to watch today:
EAGLES AT GIANTS
1 p.m., MetLife Stadium (Ch. 61)
Run stoppers: Despite having the
top-ranked run defense in the NFL,
the Eagles have allowed teams to
rush for more than 100 yards in three
of the last four games. Todd Gurley
had 96 yards for the Rams in a 43-35
loss to Philadelphia last Sunday. It
was the most by one player against
the Eagles this season. Poor tackling
was the main problem against Gurley.
Fallen apple: The Giants had high
hopes for cornerback Eli Apple when
they drafted him in the first round
last year. After showing flashes in
2016, he has backtracked in his sec-
ond season. He has been beaten on
deep passes because he does not turn
around to find the ball, and he has
been hit with some big pass interfer-
ence penalties. He fell into McAdoo's
doghouse and missed the last four
games, the last two with hip and back
problems.
Teammates say he has been both-
ered by off-the-field issues, an illness
to his mother. He has practiced this
week so he might be worth looking
out for if he plays.
New QB, same offense: The Ea-
gles don't plan to restructure their
offense for Foles. He isn't nearly as
mobile and he's not a threat to keep
the ball on run-pass option plays as
was Wentz. But most of Wentz's 299
yards rushing came on scrambles in-
stead of designed running plays. Led
by LeGarrette Blount and Jay Ajayi,
the Eagles have the second-ranked
rushing offense. Both guys could see
more carries to neutralize New York's
aggressive defense.
More Manning: The Eagles' de-
fense has been one of the NFL's best,
ranked fourth overall. The Giants' of-
fense is ranked No. 29, averaging 15.3
points. Last time the teams played,
Eli Manning hit 35 of 47 passes for
366 yards and three touchdowns. The
completions, yards and touchdown
passes were all season highs, as was
the 24 points. Manning had Odell
Beckham Jr., Brandon Marshall, Ster-
ling Shepard and Evan Engram as his
receivers then. Only Shepard and En-
gram are left.
Fridge-like: The Giants have been
using defensive tackle Robert Thom-
as in a fullback role instead of full-
back Shane Smith when they get
close to the goal line. "With that goal-
line group of personnel, the more
beef, the bigger body that we can
have there in terms of trying to punch
the ball in. It's not anything negative
about Shane, but Robert is a bigger
body and he has a natural ability to
uncoil his hips," offensive coordina-
tor Mike Sullivan said.
The other reason: New York's de-
fense likes it.

The Steelers (11-2) haven't

25-17 victory in 2011 that Ro-

he barely remembers. Maybe
that's because the sting of New
England's dominance remains
so fresh.
The defending Super Bowl
champions have won the past
four meetings by an average of
15 points. And while New En-

hiccups resurfaced in a 27-20

vided New England with a bit
of a reality check. Another set-

the postseason could include
at least one game on the road.
Not that they're ready to

That's really not their thing.

the playoffs, we'll go down

This much IS true
Mark Ruffalo
to star in
miniseries
version of Wally
Lamb novel
By RICK KOSTER
Day Staff Writer
hat a difference
W a miniseries can
make.
This is true
on many levels
of enjoyment, but certainly if
you’re a writer and, despite
much interest from actors and
directors and film producers, no
one has been able to adapt your
brilliant and complex novel for
the big screen.
“One Hundred Years of
Solitude.” “A Confederacy of
Dunces.” “The Secret History.”
“Invisible Man.” “Blood Meridi-
an” ... The list is long, impressive
and daunting, and bestselling
and literarily acclaimed author
Wally Lamb can relate.
His second novel, 1998’s “I
Know This Much is True,” an
Oprah’s Book Club selection, was
optioned for film by 20th Centu-
ry Fox shortly after publication.
However, at 900-plus pages,
and with a complex, multi-lay-
ered but riveting narrative
about twin brothers that fused
issues such as mental illness,
dysfunctional families and do-
mestic abuse, the movie was
never made.
A few years back, film rights
reverted back to Lamb and, by
that point, he wasn’t even aware
of it. In a recent phone conver-
sation from his home in Storrs,
Lamb says, “My agent called me
and explained that the option
had expired. Did I know that?”
He laughs. “No, but I know I have
a good agent. And he pointed out
that we’ve entered into what has
become the golden age of mini-
series television. We essentially
had a fresh opportunity with the
Connecticut River Museum hosts eagle events this winter
The Connecticut River Museum in
Essex will offer a series of programs
and activities this winter related
to birds that winter on the lower
Connecticut River.
The museum will again partner
with Connecticut River Expedi-
tions to offer Winter Wildlife Eagle
Cruises in February and March.
These trips offer visitors a chance to
get out on the river to see eagles,
as well as other winter species that
visit the estuary, such as harbor
seals. The cruises depart Fridays,
Saturdays and Sundays at various
times in the morning and early
afternoon, and are $42 per passen-

book in a whole new format.”
As of October, it’s official. HBO
has authorized an eight-episode
series of “I Know This Much is
True” starring Mark Ruffalo
in the dual lead roles of twins
Dominick and Thomas Birdsley,
and with writer/director Derek
Cianfrance (“Blue Valentine,”
“The Place Beyond the Pines”) at
the helm. Lamb says it’s realistic
to think production could start
as soon as summer 2018.
As for how three-time
Oscar-nominee Ruffalo got
involved, well, it’s as simple as
it is remarkable. Again, Lamb’s
agent was integral. “He asked
who would be my choice to play
(the twins), and I said I thought
Mark would do a great job,”
Lamb says. “He sent a copy of
the book to Mark, who at the
time was in Europe filming

(‘Thor: Ragnarok’). He wrote
the greatest letter saying that,
yes, he was a slow reader but (‘I

story.”

“He told me he was onboard

Lamb recalls, “and that he relat-

Over the past two years, Lamb

Lamb, Ruffalo and Cianfrance
are executive producers on
the project, along with Ben
Browning and Glen Basner of
indie film company FilmNation,
though it’s important to note
this won’t be the first time a
Lamb novel has ended up on
screen. “Wishin’ and Hopin,” a
nostalgic and comical Christ-
mas novella, was made into a
film in 2014 produced by Rocky
Hill’s Synthetic Cinema Interna-
tional. And while “Wishin’ and
Hopin’” is a distinctly different
work than “I Know This Much is
True,” the experience of turning
the book into a film provided the
author with perspective.
“Like a lot of writers, my
feeling is that a film script and
a novel are two separate art
forms,” he says. “My stuff is far
from perfect anyway, and given
the difference between the two
genres, well, as long as it’s a
good film, I don’t care what they
cut out or leave in.”
It’s also worth noting Lamb
is one of those authors who
DIDN’T start out knowing he
was destined to write. In fact,
he says, “My interest growing
up was in drawing, not reading.
I was going to be an art major
in college, and my creative im-
pulses tend to go in a cinematic
direction naturally. I watched
way too many television shows
and movies when I was young,
and I still do.”
Cianfrance has asked Lamb to
serve as a script consultant, an
offer that gratifies the novelist.

Neil Patrick Harris’s
love of magic
comes to life in
book form
By NICOLE BRODEUR
The Seattle Times
You can’t get on the phone with actor Neil
Patrick Harris without first talking about the
time he cooked with Ina. 
Earlier this year, Harris and his husband,
David Burtka, were invited by food and life-
style idol Ina Garten to film an episode of her
Food Network show, “Barefoot Contessa,” at
her place in the Hamptons.
“I was kind of losing my mind when it
happened,” Harris said recently. “When we
pulled up to her barn and the gate opened,
David and I turned to each other and asked,
‘How did our lives lead us here?’”
Harris made Negronis, Burtka grilled
steaks and Garten took care of everything
else.
“She’s surprisingly opinionated,” Harris
said. “On the show, she’s mainly dealing with
the food. But when you’re having a meal with
her, she has great opinions on politics, every-
thing. It ran the gamut.”
His new book, “The Magic Misfits,” follows
a young runaway magician named Carter
and five other illusionists as they try to save
the town of Mineral Wells from the greedy
B.B. Bosso and his “crew of crooked carnies.”
The book is aimed at readers ages 8-12.
The story was inspired by Harris’s lifelong
love of magic, circuses, sideshows and
carnivals, starting with a magician named Ed
Alonzo, “the misfit of magic.”
The book is the first in a series of four
(“Like four suits in a deck of cards”) that is
filled with secrets and codes and even magic
tricks. Harris’ intent was to serve readers on
three different levels, Harris said: Reading
the adventures of the Misfits, learning how
magic tricks work and then being able to
perform a trick.
“If you’ve gone and found a book about
magic, you’re therefore worthy of learning
a trick or three,” Harris said. “And they’re
simple enough that anyone can do them.
“But practice is important in life, as well as
in magic.”
And it wouldn’t hurt to give the book a
second look.
“If you’re just reading words in a row,
you’ll get stuff from it,” Harris said. “But
take a look at the book upside down, take the
wrapping apart … “
Even though it has a turn-of-the-century
feel, the story isn’t set in any specific time,
Harris said.
“I grew up in a small town that had one
movie theater and a Main Street,” he said.
“So I wanted to have these stories exist in a
