For further information contact: Robert H. Squibb, Consumer Product Safety Commission, 4330 East West Highway, Bethesda, MD 20814; (301) 504-7815, or by email to: email@example.com.
Section 104(b) of the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA), Public Law 110-314, 122 Stat. 3016 (August 14, 2008), requires the Consumer Product Safety Commission (Commission or CPSC) to promulgate consumer product safety standards for durable infant or toddler products. These standards are to be "substantially the same as" applicable voluntary standards or more stringent than the voluntary standard if the Commission concludes that more stringent requirements would further reduce the risk of injury associated with the product. On June 4, 2010, the Commission issued a safety standard for infant bath seats that incorporated by reference the voluntary standard for infant bath seats issued by ASTM International, ASTM F1967-08a, with some modifications to further reduce the risk of injury associated with infant bath seats. 75 FR 31691. On July 31, 2012, the Commission adopted the revised ASTM standard for infant bath seats, ASTM F1967-11a. 77 FR 45242. The requirements for infant bath seats are set forth under 16 CFR part 1215.
Sections 8.6 and 9 of ASTM F1967-11a contain requirements for marking, labeling, and instructional literature, which may be considered to be collections of information. Section 8.6 of ASTM F1967-11a requires:
Section 9 of ASTM F1967-11a requires infant bath seats to be provided with instructions regarding assembly, maintenance, cleaning, storage, and use, as well as warnings.
There are seven known firms supplying infant bath seats to the U.S. market. All seven firms are assumed to use labels on both their products and their packaging; however, modifications to existing labels may be required to comply with the ASTM standard. The estimated time required to make these modifications is about one hour per model. On the average, each of the seven firms supplies approximately two different models of infant bath seats; therefore, the estimated burden hours associated with modified labels is 1 hour × 7 firms × 2 models per firm = 14 annual hours.
Section 9 of ASTM F1967-11a requires instructions to be supplied with the product. This is a practice that is usual and customary with infant bath seats. These are products that generally require some installation and maintenance instructions, and any products sold without such information would not be able to compete successfully with products that provide this information. Any burden associated with supplying instructions with infant bath seats would be "usual and customary" and not within the definition of "burden" under OMB's regulations. 5 CFR 1320.3(b)(2).
We estimate that hourly compensation for the time required to create and update labels is $27.44, based on the assumption that sales or office employees will be modifying the labels as required (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, "Employer Costs for Employee Compensation," March 2013, Table 9, total compensation for all sales and office workers in goods-producing private industries: http://www.bls.gov/ncs/). Therefore, the estimated annual cost associated with the requirements is $384 ($27.44 per hour × 14 hours = $384).
The estimated annual cost of the information collection requirements to the federal government is approximately $3,527, which includes 60 CPSC staff hours to examine and evaluate the information, as needed for monitoring and enforcement. This is based on a GS-12 level, salaried employee. The average hourly wage rate for a mid-level salaried GS-12 employee in the Washington, DC, metropolitan area (effective as of January 2011) is $40.80 (GS-12, step 5). This represents 69.5 percent of total compensation (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, "Employer Costs for Employee Compensation," March 2013, Table 1, percentage of wages and salaries for all civilian management, professional, and related employees, http://www.bls.gov/ncs/). Adding an additional 30.5 percent for benefits brings average hourly compensation for a mid-range salaried GS-12 employee to $58.78. Assuming that approximately 60 hours of staff time will be required annually, the total annual cost of CPSC staff time to examine and evaluate the information is estimated at $3,527.
The Commission solicits written comments from all interested persons about the proposed collection of information. The Commission specifically solicits information relevant to the following topics:
—whether the collection of information described above is necessary for the proper performance of the Commission's functions, including whether the information would have practical utility;
—whether the estimated burden of the proposed collection of information is accurate;
—whether the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected could be enhanced; and
—whether the burden imposed by the collection of information could be minimized by use of automated, electronic or other technological collection techniques, or other forms of information technology.
Dated: August 27, 2013.
Todd A. Stevenson,
Secretary, Consumer Product Safety Commission.

to know if you will get breast
cancer, Alzheimer's disease, become obese, or suffer from a
range of other maladies? It's all in your genes. Currently
you would have to go to doctors to test for genetic abnormalities
that could lead to various illnesses. An enterprising San Diego
startup called Pathway
Genomics has compiled a variety
of these tests, though, and is about to start
selling them at retail giant Walgreen.FDA spokeswoman
Karen Riley was surprised by the news and said that the company has
not yet received approval for the devices and must first get
approved. Approval would involve a lengthy and expensive
process of submitting evidence of the device's efficacy and could
shelve the retail plans for years. However, if the company does
not comply, Riley warns that the FDA may order the devices pulled
from Walgreens' store shelves.Gene testing has to date
exclusively been conducted in the medical setting. The new
Walgreen test, though, allows buyers to take a saliva sample and then
send it back to the lab for analysis. The company say that the
results can help people make informed medical decisions.The
kits are set to go on sale at 6,000 of Walgreens' 7,500 stores.
Individual gene tests will retail between $19.99 and $30. Combo
tests are also available such as the drug-response test for $79, the
"pre-pregnancy planning" test for $179, and the health
condition test for $179. All three of the combo tests are
available for $249.FDA's Riley warns, "The claims have
limitations based on existing science, and consumers should not be
making important medical and lifestyle decisions based on these tests
without first consulting a health-care professional."Jim
Plante, CEO of Pathway Genomics refutes that his company has done
anything wrong, stating, "There are people who need or want to
know more about their genetic makeup, and we recognize that, for
some, genetic reports are becoming a more important component in
managing their personal health care. The value of knowing how
genes play a role in our personal lives, and potentially the lives of
our children, is critical for making well-informed health and
wellness decisions."Ed MacBean, vice president of
product development for the company says that his firm will "be
happy to share with the FDA any data that is requested", but
that, "We're still going to sell the kits at Walgreens because
at this point, we're not aware of any reason we are unable to."The
FDA according to a
report in The
Sun Times may
also be considering action against online retailers of the test
kits. While Walgreens is the first brick-and-mortar retailer to
offer the kits, they've been available previously online.
quote: Man I love how people here really seem to hate the FDA. If it weren't for the FDA, we'd have the quality control of China.
quote: That's assuming the consumer is aware that a product is killing or damaging them. If it weren't for a regulating agency, what incentive would a company have to perform long term testing? What incentive would they have to list potential side effects?

Irving Moskowitz is a Florida-based bingo and gambling magnate who is notorious for funding illegal Jewish settlements in Palestinian territories. An associate of the rightwing Israeli think tank the Ariel Center for Policy Research,[1] Moskowitz has funded several U.S. neoconservative pressure groups and the campaigns of conservative "pro-Israel" politicians.
A retired doctor and millionaire who originally built his wealth by buying and selling hospitals, Moskowitz owns the Hawaiian Gardens casino in Hawaiian Gardens, California, a small, mostly Latino city near Los Angeles. The casino was unsuccessfully sued by concerned citizens in the United States for alleged abuses committed against its workers (see the website of the Coalition for Justice in Hawaiian Gardens & Jerusalem, stopmoskowitz.org).
Moskowitz's donations to U.S. political figures have also been subject to scrutiny. In January 2011, the liberal Israel lobby J Street criticized Florida Republican Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, a fierce anti-Castro congresswoman who has also championed Likud-aligned policies on Mideast peace, for receiving campaign contributions from Moskowitz, who was the congresswoman's top individual donor.[2] J Street called on Ros-Lehtinen to return the donations, saying that Moskowitz "actively works to derail the chances for a two-state solution by funding Jewish settler housing in the middle of Arab neighborhoods in east Jerusalem."[3]
In Israel, Moskowitz has been heavily criticized for using his wealth to try to dictate government policy and making controversial land purchases in Palestinian enclaves in Jerusalem and the West Bank and Gaza. In January 2011, a Moskowitz-owned hotel in East Jerusalem was partially razed to enable construction of Jewish settlements that are illegal under international law. "[Israel] is not looking for peace but to take more land," said Adnan Husseini, the Palestinian-appointed governor of Jerusalem, told the Guardian. "It's clear they are doing everything to violate the situation. They are disfiguring this area by building a settlement here."[4]
Moskowitz's support for settlements goes back decades. In the late 1990s, he had a public dispute with then-Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over a controversial home he purchased and gave to three Jewish families in eastern Jerusalem. Reported the Jewish Telegraphic Agency (JTA), "After heated negotiations, Netanyahu convinced Moskowitz to kick the families out of the Arab neighborhood in eastern Jerusalem, on the Mount of Olives. Instead 10 yeshiva students will guard and maintain the property. For years Netanyahu supported Moskowitz's Jerusalem land purchases. The two have been close ever since Moskowitz was instrumental in opening a research institute named after Netanyahu's brother, Yonatan, who died during the famous Entebbe rescue in 1976."[5]
Earlier in 1996, Moskowitz pressured Netanyahu to open a controversial tunnel next to the Temple Mount. This led to several days of rioting in Palestinian areas, resulting in some 70 deaths. A plaque in the tunnel commemorates Moskowitz, who funded the tunnel's construction.[6] In 2000, the Temple Mount tunnel provided the spark that set off the second intifada, the al-Aqsa uprising, when then-Prime Minister Ariel Sharon visited the tunnel.[7]
Moskowitz is a longtime funder of numerous U.S.-based neoconservative organizations that have been key promoters of an expansive war on terror and hardline Israel-centric Mideast policies. These include the Hudson Institute, the American Enterprise Institute(AEI), the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs, and the Center for Security Policy (CSP).[8] Praising Moskowitz's generous funding, David Wurmser, an adviser on the Middle East to then-Vice President Dick Cheney and a former AEI fellow, once said that the bingo mogul was a "gentle man whose generous support of AEI allows me to be here."[9]
The Ariel Center for Policy Research, a hardline advocacy and research institute where Moskowitz is an associate, espouses a Likud Party line on Israeli security. Its website states the "peace process" is "a paradox whereby a minuscule democracy is being forced to provide its totalitarian enemies—scores of times its size—the only thing it lacks: territory." The Ariel Center maintains that any peace effort that "will force Israel to its pre-1967 borders, i.e. losing those territorial assets critically needed for the very existence of the Jewish State, will not be but a recipe for war." Among the organization's other contributing experts are a number of U.S.-based researchers aligned with the U.S. pro-Israel right and the neoconservatives, including Meyrav Wurmser and Anne Bayefsky of the Hudson Institute; Ilan Berman, vice president of the American Foreign Policy Council; Rachel Ehrenfeld, head of the Center for the Study of Corruption; and Frank Gaffney of the CSP.
Moskowitz established the Irving I. Moskowitz Foundation in 1968. A year later, according to the JTA, he began his controversial property acquisitions in Jerusalem with proceeds from the sale of one of his hospitals. In 1988, Moskowitz purchased the Hawaiian Gardens bingo parlor. "It was a move," reports the JTA, "that changed his life—and ultimately, he hopes, the character of Jerusalem." He converted the bingo business into a non-profit organization, with nearly all proceeds going to the Moskowitz Foundation. "Through bingo profits, Moskowitz's charitable giving has soared from the thousands to the millions, propelling his foundation to one of the top 1,000 private foundations in the United States. Moskowitz's foundation gave away $57,000 in 1987. In 1991, he gave away $1.5 million, according to the foundation's tax returns. By 1994, he had given $4.3 million and about $6 million in 1995. More current figures are not available."[10]
In an exhaustive 1996 account of Moskowitz's background and charitable giving, the Los Angeles Times highlighted a number of his more controversial initiatives. Reported the LA Times: "Many beneficiaries … are American 'pass through' organizations designed to help Israeli counterparts, including groups involved in the property purchases and settlements in contested areas. Foundation records show that the largest single amount in 1994, $1.03 million, went to American Friends of Everest, which Moskowitz set up 'to acquire an important religious building in the holy city.' And the leading recipient through 1994, getting $2.35 million, was American Friends of Ateret Cohanim, which supports a yeshiva in the Arab quarter of Jerusalem. Members believe they have a God-given mission to buy property and protect Temple Mount, revered as the site where Abraham offered to sacrifice his son, Isaac, and the site of the First and Second Jewish temples, the latter destroyed by the Romans in 70 AD. Ateret Cohanim members believe that the rebuilding of the temple, and the coming of the messiah, are imminent. But that would mean tearing down the third-holiest site in the Islamic world, the Dome of the Rock and Al Aqsa Mosque, built over the temple ruins. … In June [2006], Moskowitz visited the yeshiva to donate a Torah scroll in memory of a student stabbed to death by Arabs. By now, some of his eight children, two of them rabbis, were raising their own families in Israel. 'After 2,000 years of sacrifice for the dream of returning to Jerusalem, we cannot allow it to be taken away,' he said."[11]
According to 2005 tax documents, with assets of just over $52 million, the foundation's yearly charitable donations totaled nearly $6.5 million. This included donations to nearly 80 organizations, the majority of which were Israel-oriented groups. His bingo and gambling businesses contributed more than $30 million.[12]
Among the foundation's largest recipients in 2004 were:
-The American Friends of Bet El Yeshiva ($785,000), a "pass through" group that supports the Bet El Yeshiva religious center, a sharply conservative outfit known for its hard line on land-for-peace deals and efforts to push for government protection of the settler movement. In 1995, Bet El "called on Israeli soldiers to refuse to obey orders connected with the evacuation of West Bank military installations as part of Stage 2 of the peace process" (Hillel Halkin, "Israel, Rabbis Battle for Soul Of Their Army," Forward, July 21, 1995).
–City of Hawaiian Gardens ($510,000).
–American Friends of Mercaz Harav Kook ($500,000).
–The Hawaiian Gardens Food Bank ($480,000).
–The Central Fund for Israel ($369,000).
–The American Friends of Old City Charities ($300,000).
–The Hebron Fund ($210,000), which supports settler groups in the volatile West Bank city that Israel occupied after the 1967 Six Day War.
–The Battalion of Deborah ($100,000), a Christian dispensationalist group based in Texas that believes "the Land of Israel is promised by God to the Jewish people. We oppose any policy that fails to take God's word into account and attempts to separate the Jewish people from the Land of Israel. We believe such policies will serve only to hinder the establishment of a just and lasting peace between the people of Israel and the Arab nation" (see www.battalionofdeborah.org).
Although notoriously media-shy, Moskowitz, an Orthodox Jew who lost family in the Holocaust, has occasionally spoken out in defense of his activities in the press. He often invokes World War II-era images of appeasement to make his points. For example, he once told the Jerusalem Post: "I was 10 years old at the time and still vividly remember the profound sadness that enveloped our home in the wake of the Munich signing. There was an atmosphere of mourning for the tragedy we knew would follow, since belligerent dictators can never be truly appeased. … Under political pressure at home and abroad or in the hope of being remembered in the history books—or simply out of sheer desperation—prime ministers can take steps in the name of 'peace' that actually lead to war."[13] Similarly, according to JTA, he once "compared slain Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin to Britain's Neville Chamberlain, who sought to appease the Nazis."[14]
Like many of his associates among right-wing pro-Israel lobbyists in the United States, Moskowitz has lambasted the Mideast peace process and rejects land-for-peace deals. In a 1996 interview with the Los Angeles Times, he said that then-ongoing peace talks represented a "slide toward concessions, surrender, and Israeli suicide."[15] And in a 1997 letter to the Washington Post, he wrote: "If the peace process is incapable of digesting the presence of 50 Jewish families 860 yards from the Western Wall and barely a mile from the King David Hotel, then its fragility is indeed beyond repair. To rule out the construction of a 50-unit Jewish apartment project on Mount of Olives because of its proximity to Arab residences is to enfranchise Yasser Arafat's thesis that Palestinians are incapable of living on common ground with Israelis in Jerusalem. That would be defined as racism anywhere outside the Middle East."[16]
Moskowitz's wife, Cherna, has also been accused of taking extreme views on Mideast peace issues. For example, the Coalition for Justice in Hawaiian Gardens & Jerusalem reports on its website that she once helped set up a website that hosted a game where players were "invited" to kill moderate politicians, including former Prime Minister Ehud Barak. Reports the Coalition: "In February 2000, the Israeli newspaper Yedioth Aharonot discovered an Internet assassination 'game' that invited visitors to 'destroy' Israel's Prime Minister Ehud Barak and other moderate, pro-peace Israeli political leaders. The game encouraged visitors to click on a leader's picture, which would "explode," accompanied by the sound of screaming. Prime Minister Barak's office condemned the Moskowitz-sponsored game, saying 'The right-wing site creates incitements of a most violent nature that are like those that have brought consequences that all of us remember,' a reference to the assassination of Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin in 1995" (see "The Assassination 'Game,'" Coalition for Justice in Hawaiian Gardens & Jerusalem, stopmoskowitz.org/assassination.shtml).

Today, Marilyn Mangano of Tiffin turns 74, but she tries not to think about her age. She is too busy enjoying her retirement.
A member of St. Mary Church, Mangano distributes communion, helps prepare and serve funeral lunches and works at the parish's summer festivals. If she looks familiar, it is probably because she is a frequent volunteer at Mercy Tiffin Hospital and the Allen Eiry Center. Curves is another hangout for this active senior.
"I've done Curves since they opened. ... I hate exercise, but I know I should do it. I do it because it keeps me flexible," Mangano said. "I don't diet. I like to eat out too much. Who wants to cook?"
Article Photos
Marilyn Mangano can be found every Tuesday from 9 a.m.-noon in the Mercy Tiffin Hospital Gift Shop.
Walking is OK, but the social element at the exercise sessions keeps Mangano going back to be among the friends she has made over the past 10 years of membership. The group has breakfast together once a month and goes out to lunch once a month. They call themselves "The Grapevine Girls" after a movement they do in class.
"It's just fun. Two days a week, I go in there, and it keeps me moving," she said.
therapy and crafts
A retired occupational therapist, Mangano knows all about mobility, although her biggest "move" was relocating to Ohio from Minnesota. When she graduated from high school in 1958, she enrolled in nursing school. At the time, she had never heard of occupational therapy.
"When I was at college that first year, I heard about OT. I thought, 'What's OT?,' Mangano said. "They did arts and crafts a lot more in those days than they do now. They used it as an activity to get people to get exercise."
That line of work appealed to Mangano, so she changed her major. She has no regrets about her choice, but she admitted occupational therapy has undergone many changes. Therapists do even more now to help people return to daily activities after a stroke or injury. They show patients changes that can be made to adapt routines for their physical condition. It may mean switching to clothing that is easy to put on, storing household objects within easier reach, or doing a given task at a different time of day.
Now, she is utilizing some of those tactics herself.
"One of the things I learned as an OT is work simplification and energy conservation. When you have had a stroke, you need to conserve your energy and only do the things you have to do," Mangano said.
During college, students in occupational therapy had to do clinicals in a variety of settings. Mangano said she had never been away from her home state, so it was a chance for some adventure. In her junior and senior years, she practiced at a facility in New York state. Next, she went to Highland View Hospital in Cleveland, which is a physical rehabilitation hospital similar to the one in Green Springs.
Highland View offered Mangano a job once she earned her degree, and she accepted.
Returning to Highland View in January 1963, she met Joe Mangano, her husband- to-be. A Cleveland native and physical therapist, he came to work at the hospital about two weeks after Marilyn started.
"The funniest part of the whole thing is, we had to do this program together. All the PTs and OTs did programs for the staff, like continuing ed, and we had to talk about physics. I knew nothing about physics," Mangano said.
Joe Mangano had studied at Heidelberg College, and he liked Tiffin. He told Marilyn they should move there when they got married.
As it happened, the Betty Jane Center was looking for a therapist. Fred Fabrizio, a classmate of Joe's from PT school, had just come back to Tiffin from working in Illinois. Marilyn and Joe even stayed with the Fabrizios for about a week until they could find their own place.
"I've been here ever since," Marilyn said.
She also worked at Green Springs part-time while she was expecting her daughter. She also has a son, Andrew, so Mangano stayed home with them until they were in school.
About that time, Fabrizio called periodically, saying his company needed an occupational therapist to fulfill its contracts in the area. Mangano finally gave in and was assigned to Tiffin Developmental Center.
"I thought I'd go out there for a week or two and ended up being out there for 21 years. I had never worked with MR/DD in my life. That was a first. I'd always done physical rehab. I had a lot to learn, but the staff out there was good to work with. They must have liked me because they kept me around. That's where I retired from," she said.
In 1999, Mangano left the center and worked in the company's corporate office for another year. She and another employee were assigned to review therapists' notes for Medicare claims at the company's clinics.
Crafts are an extension of Mangano's career as an occupational therapist, and it keeps her occupied. She likes to do cross-stitch, knitting and crochet in front of the television. A friend got her interested in making jewelry. There is "a cool bead shop" in Findlay where she can get new ideas and materials, she said.
Mangano also enjoys word puzzles, "goofy games" and reading at least two books a week. She especially likes mysteries by Catherine Coulter and a few others in that genre. One lighted Kindle remains in Mangano's bedroom for night-time reading. The other usually can be found in her purse to read while waiting for an appointment or on a snowy winter afternoon at home.
"Once you buy a Kindle and you're connected with Amazon, you never have to worry about finding a book. ... but mysteries are the ones I like the best," Mangano said, "And I can read more than one book at a time."
Mercy Hospital, Mobile Meals
Mangano was chosen as "Ms. December" for the 2013 Mercy Tiffin Hospital calendar. She has been a hospital volunteer for more than 30 years, mostly in the gift shop. Mangano helped to move the gift shop merchandise to the new hospital. She likes the extra space and the updated cash register system. She said some of the gift shop volunteers left because they didn't want to learn the new system. At the old location, Mangano said the cash drawer always seemed to be out of balance.
"Sister Ann Louise was in charge and I'd say, 'This isn't coming out right. Why isn't it? If you start with $50, it should come out right.' I hated that. I don't have to do that any more," Mangano said.
In 1970, she spearheaded the Mobile Meals program at the hospital and stayed with it for about 25 years. Since then, the program has grown and expanded. Mangano called it "a fluke" that she became involved.
"I was in Junior Women's League and the Council on Aging called and said, 'We need somebody to run a Mobile Meals program. Do you think your club would want to do it?' I happened to be the one that answered the phone. When I took it to the club, they said, 'That sounds good. Why don't you do it?' That's how I got into that," Mangano recalled.
With no idea how to organize such a project, she and a few other volunteers went to observe a meal program in Toledo. Mangano set up a board to oversee the program and requested funding from the National Machinery Foundation and the Frost Foundation to subsidize people who could not afford to pay for the meals.
"I know I just called whoever was in charge of the foundations. They were all for it. Frost is specifically for seniors and kids' programs in town. ... They took care of us for a lot of years until we were self-supporting," Mangano said.
It took a year to get the program started. The first meal was delivered in January 1971. Mangano remembered Mobile Meals volunteers delivered a week's worth of breakfast foods, including cereal, milk and bread, every Monday for clients who wanted them. Like today, the hot meal came at noon.
Although Junior Women's League supported the meal program the first year, it was more than the club could manage on a long-term basis. Mercy Hospital took it over with Mangano continuing as director. Most of those years, she did the billing for the program. When she bowed out, the hospital continued it for about five more years before turning it over to the Commission on Aging.
"I never thought I'd be with it for 25 years. I had a good group of people working with me," Mangano said. "That was a good program. It still is."
Allen Eiry
For eight years, Mangano has served on the Allen Eiry Center board. This is to be her last year, due to term limits for board members. As a result, she has been involved in the move from Orchard Park and in the renovation of the Hopewell Avenue building.
She said the board is active and interested in the center.
"I think things look good for the future," she said.
Mangano joined the center while she was working, so she was not able to take advantage of all the programs there. As work tapered, Mangano tried some of the activities. She and her husband also signed up for many of the center's trips. Whenever the bus pulls out, Marilyn tries to be on it.
"I don't care about the destination; I like the journey. I don't care where we're going. I just want to go," she said.
Joe also liked the travel opportunities. When heart problems slowed him, he still could manage the trips. They appreciated not having to drive or make any of the arrangements. The bus would drop them off at the door. After she retired, the Manganos took several trips together before Joe died in 2001. The support of friends helped her through the loss.
"The thing about traveling with Allen Eiry that I like is, you know everybody that's on the bus. A lot of the same people travel, so it's like one big happy family," Mangano said. "I have met so many people I would have never known in a million years if I hadn't been traveling and been a part of Allen Eiry. It's amazing. People need to be more aware of that."
To benefit the center, Mangano produces hand-made greeting cards that are sold for $3 each. She said she used to teach scrapbooking classes at a photo shop and at the library. Her collection of rubber stamps, colored inks and other items go into the cards. Multiple cards are made from one pattern or design. After making more cards than she could send, Mangano decided to donate them to Allen Eiry.
"And I donated them to St. Francis Home when I was on the auxiliary there. They give cards out to the people who are ill, so I would make the cards and donate them. It's something I enjoy doing and I can give them away. I don't need to keep all of them," she said. "I don't cook or clean. I make cards. That's my thing."
Family, hobbies
Besides Allen Eiry trips, Mangano also travels to visit her children and grandchildren. Her daughter, Susan, is a pharmacist who lives in Cincinnati with her husband. Their twin daughters are about to turn 14. Mangano's son, Andrew, has followed in his dad's footsteps. He and his wife are physical therapists who work at a clinic in Barberton. They and their two daughters live in Wadsworth.
If Mangano were not busy enough, she also plays in a bridge club once a month and belongs to a knitting group. They get together monthly to knit and occasionally to visit yarn shops. Theatrical productions at The Ritz and on Eiry trips, especially to Playhouse Square in Cleveland, are another favorite activity.
"I also play dominos. There's a group of us seniors that like playing this 'Mexican train' game, so we play dominos. We go out to the Golden Crown for lunch once a month and play dominos for the afternoon - the joys of retirement," she said.

FORT JACKSON - The Army's largest basic training installation is going to train up to 63,000 soldiers in each of the next two years despite ongoing troop cuts, the post's commander said Wednesday.
Brig. Gen. Bradley Becker, who took charge of Fort Jackson in central South Carolina in August, told reporters that while the installation has been affected by recent government furloughs and budget issues, he expects it to remain a key Army training site.
"We're always going to have to produce soldiers," he said. "I think Fort Jackson will be here for a very long time."
The one-star general met with reporters to discuss his first months in office since taking the helm in late August. He is a veteran of three deployments to Iraq; a posting in Saudi Arabia during the first Gulf conflict; and assignments in Germany, Korea, Fort Lewis, Wash., Hawaii and the Joint Staff at the Pentagon.
While the Army is slated to drop to 490,000 from its wartime high of about 570,000 troops, Becker said he is confident Fort Jackson will maintain its primary role as a combat training school. He pointed out that Fort Jackson produces about 54 percent of the Army's soldiers.
The post is also home to a school for Army drill sergeants and chaplains for the Army, Navy, and Air Force. Schools on the site also train soldiers as mechanics and administrative assistants.
Becker said he's heard no discussion about Fort Jackson being placed on any possible list for a new round of base closure, and that he intends to make sure that Fort Jackson "stays relevant."
The general said his first goal is to take a long, hard look at the training soldiers are undergoing, to see if some adjustments must be made.
Top Army and Pentagon officials are warning commanders that conflicts in the future probably won't be like the anti-insurgent kinds in Iraq and Afghanistan, nor will U.S. forces have the ability to rely on overseas bases and a huge "tail" of logistics support.
Becker said that means Army soldiers may have to learn new skills in order fulfill their mission of defeating the nation's foes, no matter what kind of combat they must face.

Some well-meaning people support The Common Core State Standards for Ohio Public Schools, but are they mislead? Please consider the following information and thought from a retired teacher who taught for 35 years.
The children in school will be "assessed" extensively, which means there will be less time for teachers to teach and students to learn. Some of you might be thinking, well, at least teachers will know their students' weaknesses and skills, enabling them to plan accordingly. Not necessarily; unlike teachers' assessments, the data gathered is not necessarily available to the teachers and, if it is, does not arrive soon enough to help the individual student.
Also, what about the idea of a national assessment which leads to a national curriculum? Do you really believe a student in Los Angeles needs the same skill set as one in Seneca County? Also, are you really willing to relinquish local control of the school's curriculum? Now, if something is not right, you as a parent or a member of the community have a voice. You can call the school board. Do not be deceived; if this is established as it is designed, all local control over what is taught in your schools will be gone.
What is also sad is teachers also will have very little control over what they are allowed to teach or how they will present it.
Let us take a look at the two proposed curriculum, literature and math. The literature is packed with "practical reading," which is fine. However, what happened to the awe-inspiring writing, the kind that moves peoples' minds and hearts? It has been omitted from the curriculum. The math standards seem to require all students to take the same specific classes, not allowing for individual choice or ability.
Bill Gates is a heavy contributor to the institute that made up the Common Core plan. He was quoted as saying it would enable our students to be able to compete as good workers in the global economy.
Personally, I would rather have well-informed, insightful, compassionate, patriotic, individualistic, God-honoring Americans. If you agree, see what you can do at stopcommoncore.com.

With his Australia not exactly catching fire at the box office and his take on the Shakespeare classic, Romeo + Juliet, more than a decade old, director Baz Luhrmann has already turned his eye toward a new project: The Great Gatsby. In an interview with "Hollywood Reporter," he mentioned that he has the rights to the classic 1925 F. Scott Fitzgerald-penned tale of high society. It's one of the few books I actually read in high school (Shout out to Mr. Tidwell for focing me to read. Like Katy Perry would say, "I read a book and I liked it!").
Gatsby has been translated to visual media a few times, most notably the 1974 version, starring Bobby Redford as the titular character.
I like Luhrmann's visual style. I haven't seen Australia, and from the trailers it didn't appear that he employed the same frenetic eye-candy his previous films possessed. Although he did consider his three prior films to be a trilogy of sorts. I wonder if he'll bring that winning style back around for this film.
He said he'll get to it in much less time than it took his last couple of projects, to take advantage of the current state of the world economy, feeling Gatsby would be a mirror into our current state. It was seven years between projects for both Romeo + Juliet/Moulin Rouge! and Moulin Rouge!/Australia.
Can these two worlds co-exist? These clips make me a believer.
Brad Pitt is by no means rumored to be in this film, but after looking at this picture, wouldn't it be something?
P.S. Francis Ford Coppola wrote the Redford version.
What do you guys think of this melding of material and auteur?

WELLSVILLE - Two homes on Clark Avenue were raided by police Wednesday morning with marijuana plants found at one location and heroin at another.
The Columbiana County Drug Task Force, Wellsville Police Department and the Columbiana County Sheriff's Department served two search warrants.
The first at 1718 Clark Ave. netted 19 marijuana plants. In different stages of development, the plants were found both inside and outside the house, where three adults and one child were present.
The second warrant was served at 1825 Clark Ave., where no one was home during the search. Along with a small amount of heroin, agents found suspected drug paraphernalia and packing materials, which were all seized.
In both cases charges are reportedly pending. Wellsville Police Chief Joe Scarabino said the case remains under investigation.
Scarabino credited vigilant concerned citizens as part of the effort to crack downs on drugs and illegal activity in the village. A march was held just last week by residents concerned about the rising numbers of drug overdose deaths in Wellsville.
"It's actually very good police work," Scarabino said. "It's acting on all tips."
He also credited drug task force investigators and the county commissioners for providing the village with $20,000 needed to help finance placing an officer from a small, financially struggling community on the task force.
"It's a cohesive effort," Scarabino said, adding the return to participation in the drug task force and local police talking and getting on the same page allows them to work quickly on tips from the community.
According to the Columbiana County Auditor's Office, 1718 Clark Ave. is owned by Kimberly R. Martin, while 1825 Clark Ave. is owned by Amanda J. Rice. A different residential address is listed for Rice and it is unknown if one or both of the properties are rental.

Martin Luther King Jr. is being remembered locally as a great man who had an important message for people.
At the city's Freedom House Community Worship Center, about 30 people gathered Sunday evening for special services that remembered the civil rights leader.
Minister JoAnn Walker challenged the congregation to work on behalf of what King stood for - non-violence, brotherhood and unity.
"We have to realize the dream is not fulfilled," she said. "Are we truly working together?"
Members of Freedom House Youth performed "I Have a Dream," with each member proclaiming their own special dreams, which included goals of becoming a physician, a therapist and a veterinarian.
"Are you part of their dreams?" asked Walker. "Will you let them grow up and be all they can be?"
State Rep. Rick Mirabito, D-Williamsport, said King spoke out for the oppressed.
He said King was in Memphis in 1968, standing up for the city's striking sanitation workers, when he was assassinated.
"He came to show them support," he said.
He noted that King had been against the war in Vietnam at a time when it was not popular.
He said people need to live their own lives in King's image and to speak out against those who do wrong, including those in power.
"We have to work against violence by working with police," he said. "When we see violence perpetuated against people, we have to stand up."
Pastor Ann Runnels, of Nisbet United Methodist Church, reminded the congregation that King was a man with a Godly vision.
At Trinity Episcopal Church, members of The Center's afterschool program gathered Sunday morning to sing as part of a special program reflecting on King.
Heather Eisner, operations manager, said programs honoring King traditionally are done by the Campbell Street Community Center. The afterschool program now is held at the church.
"They love to be in the spotlight," Eisner said.

Stop pussyfooting about gun control
It was 2:45 p.m. on Dec. 14 when I first heard news of the tragedy. I had just finished my work week and was looking forward to the weekend, as so many of us do. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. How could someone enter a "secure" facility and slaughter 20 young children and six adults?
I have been a teacher for 20 years. I'm employed by St. Mark's School and have taught there for 13 years. My colleagues and I have been to numerous seminars that instructed us on what to do in a crisis situation. How could anyone ever fathom facing a situation such as this one?
It's time to stop pussyfooting about gun control. Our forefathers granted us the right to bear arms. At the time, I'm certain the right was considered a necessary evil; one sanctioned so that a person could defend oneself against an armed enemy. The times have changed and too many people have taken this right beyond the limits of what was intended.
I can't imagine the grief that all of those involved are going through. There is an answer to this problem, and it must be addressed soon. We must somehow restrict the ease with which someone can procure weapons.
C'mon politicians, do your job. Stop kowtowing to special interest groups and move to amend gun control legislation. If you don't act, what school will be next in the chaotic cascade of carnage?

PITTSBURGH - The "Killer Ts" are staying home - and so is their leader.
Pitt's recruiting class got a big boost Wednesday when a trio of Clairton Bears - especially Tyler Boyd - signed their letters of intent to join the Panthers.
Boyd, one of the state's top recruits, was relieved to sign on the dotted line and continue his athletic career with Clairton teammates Titus Howard and Terrish Webb.
"This is my family. I grew up with these guys since first grade. These are the only boys I've been playing with since then," he said. "I just think I am more comfortable playing with them, staying with them through college and dominating at the next level with them."
Boyd gave a verbal commitment to the Panthers more than a month ago on national TV at the U.S. Army All-American Bowl in San Antonio. However, he raised some eyebrows by taking official visits to West Virginia and Tennessee the past two weekends.
"It's been tough on me," Boyd said. "I've been real depressed about it not knowing where I was going since probably last week. I got it all figured out."
In the end, joining Webb and Howard at Pitt was too good to pass up for Boyd.
"It's the come-up season. They have a great class coming in," he said. "I think, with us, it'll make it even stronger and we can build something that they haven't built in a long time."
Pitt head coach Paul Chryst was pleased Boyd stuck to his verbal commitment.
"You worry about getting everyone. With Tyler, there was good dialogue. He has a good relationship with a lot of the coaches. We don't get caught up in a lot of the buzz around it, but he's earned the right to have that buzz around him," he said. "It felt good; I didn't know how that'd translate, but I always felt good about him and what we were saying to him and what he was telling us. We're excited to have him because I think he really is a special person."
Boyd, a 6-foot-2, 185-pounder, is being recruited as a wide receiver. At Clairton, he finished with 5,755 yards rushing and 117 touchdowns.
"Tyler, we're excited about. We think he can impact our offense a number of different ways and we're certainly looking forward to working with him," Chryst said. "When you talk to people at Clairton, they say he is one of the true leaders of that team and there's something special about him."
With Boyd leading the way, the Bears compiled a 63-game winning streak and four WPIAL and PIAA championships.
"It was hard to predict where he'd sign, but it didn't surprise me the he stayed with Pitt since his friends were going there. I think he wanted to be at Pitt, but I think he wanted to play in more of a spread offense, too," said Greg Croft, a longtime football talent evaluator and the publisher of Panther247.com, which is dedicated to coverage of Pitt athletics. "I think it'll benefit him, probably more than a spread offense, as far as preparing for next level since he'll be in the pro-style offense. I don't think it's out of the possibility that he'll see time at tailback, too."
Chryst is eager to take advantage of Boyd's versatility. He played quarterback, running back, wide receiver and returned kicks at Clairton.
"When you watch him, certainly I think he is a skilled receiver. When you watch him in the Wildcat as a ballcarrier, he is special that way. Our job for any player is to find ways to get them involved in the offense," Chryst said. "We will exhaust every way we can for our players to get involved in the offense. I think we can put a lot on his plate and find a number of different ways to get a guy like him involved."
Boyd has a chance to play immediately at receiver since the Panthers have some openings.
"They graduated three receivers; I think they are going to find a role for him," said Tony Greco, publisher of Panther Digest. "They won't just hand it to Tyler, though. But, he has a very good chance seeing field, even if not in a starting role.
"It was big to get him. I really had no clue where he was going to end up. It was looking pretty good for Pitt all along. He went to Tennessee and really liked it there. Who wouldn't, though? How on earth was he going to pull away from Webb and Howard? They are inseparable; they've been playing together since they were 5. I can't recall Pitt ever taking three (recruits) from the same school in the same class. That shows you how close these guys are and how great they really were in that run."
Howard and Webb were recruited as defensive backs and both could be impact players at Pitt despite coming from a Class A school.
"I know certain things you can't take away from 7-on-7 camps, but these guys have gone toe to toe with Gateway and Woodland Hills and bigger schools," Greco said. "Clairton actually beat some of them 7-on-7, which is pretty remarkable there."
Croft agrees.
"It was amazing what those guys did at Clairton. You have to admire what they did. Their character is very strong and they have great personalities. It's like they are going to Pitt on a mission," he said.

On the Hill Summer, brought to you by The Steadman Clinic and the Steadman Philippon Research Institute, brings you a video report about a different Lake Tahoe adventure every day.
Today's activity: Road ride to Fallen Leaf.
Conditions: Early June mornings are the perfect time to get out and hit the roads. Cars are fewer, the lake is smooth as silk with no boat traffic and the weather tends to be just cool enough to make a long ride comfortable. The South Shore bike trail starts at Hwy 89 and heads up to Fallen Leaf Lake and to Lily Lake. The 20-mile ride is mostly flat, and you pass most state campgrounds and has options to pass great waterfalls and make stops at smaller lakes along the way.
Today's weather: This week the Tahoe weather is being fickle. Still looking for rain showers today and winds, with a high of 61, but the rest of the week temps will soar, so get out early to avoid the heat and cars. — National Weather Service

Dr. William Cook splits his workdays between Low Country Internal Medicine, where some patients have been with him for more than 20 years, and the Sleep Lab in Summerville Medical Center. He is board-certified in both areas as well as in pulmonary medicine, the treatment of lung and breathing disorders. "I just enjoy practicing medicine, and I'm doing the things that I really like to do," says Dr. Cook. "I like to talk with people and figure out what's wrong with them and how I can make them feel better." At the Summerville Medical Center Sleep Lab, he treats many adults and children with sleep apnea, which means breathing is shallow or frequently disrupted during sleep. In many cases, sleep apnea can be relieved by continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy.

EVANSTON, Ill. (AP) - Already major college football's winningest coach, there aren't many milestones left for Penn State's Joe Paterno.
Well, here's one.
Beat Northwestern on Saturday and JoePa gets his 408th win to tie the late Eddie Robinson of Grambling State for the record among Division I coaches.
"I knew Eddie," Paterno said. "He was a delightful person. He obviously did a fantastic job at Grambling."
Paterno has done pretty well himself, and if Penn State (6-1, 3-0 Big Ten) comes out on top this weekend, it won't be the first time Northwestern (2-4, 0-3) was on the wrong end of a milestone win for the legendary coach.
Win No. 323 to tie Bear Bryant came at the Wildcats' expense. So did No. 400 last year in Happy Valley, and that one was particularly dramatic. The Nittany Lions rallied from a three-touchdown deficit in the first half to win 35-21, and when it was over, Paterno rode the broad arms and shoulders of two offensive linemen and was serenaded by more than 100,000 fans chanting his name afterward.
There are more pressing matters at hand for the 84-year-old coach and his team.
The schedule is about to take a tougher turn with Illinois and Nebraska at home followed by games at Ohio State and Wisconsin, and this one could be difficult even if the Wildcats have dropped four in a row.
Penn State hasn't exactly been blowing away opponents.
The Nittany Lions are coming off a narrow 23-18 victory over Purdue in which they allowed 162 yards rushing and 344 altogether, well below standard for a defense that ranks sixth nationally at 264.1 yards per game. They barely beat Temple 14-10 on Sept. 17 and squeezed by conference weakling Indiana 16-10 on Oct. 1. They also have a quality, close win over Iowa (13-3 on Oct. 8) to go with blowouts over FCS school Indiana State and Eastern Michigan.
The loss? That was to Alabama, 27-11 on Sept. 10.
Now they're staring at a Northwestern team that could pose problems. The Wildcats blew an 18-point lead in the fourth quarter against Illinois and lost 38-35 after quarterback Dan Persa left in the fourth quarter because of soreness near his surgically repaired right Achilles tendon.
They led Michigan by 10, only to get blown out in the second half on the way to a 42-24 loss, and last week's 41-31 loss at Iowa was another head-scratcher. Northwestern racked up 495 yards and 29 first downs, yet still managed to give up all those points even though the Hawkeyes held the ball for less than 22 minutes.
"We're playing much better up front fundamentally than a year ago," coach Pat Fitzgerald said. "For a majority of the plays we're seeing in the passing game, we're playing pretty well. It's the home runs over our head that have killed us."
On the other side, Persa's return hasn't been quite the spark the Wildcats anticipated - not that he's played poorly. His 74.5 completion percentage would rank fourth nationally if he qualified, but he acknowledged this week he's still limited by his injury.
"Obviously I'm not as fast as I was last year. That's evident," he said. "I think I'm close. But obviously I've still got a little bit of a ways to go."
Even so, Penn State isn't taking him lightly. Or, for that matter, Northwestern.
Paterno said, "At times they look as good as anybody."
And linebacker Nate Stupar said, "People might (see) that they're 0-3 in the Big Ten, but they have a very explosive offense."
Contain it, and Paterno likely reaches another milestone at the Wildcats' expense.

on May 11, 2013 - 12:12 AM
Imagine the first day of school.
That's what Friday amounted to for the 33 players in attendance at the Buffalo Bills' rookie minicamp.
"Our goal as coaches was to come out here and get with these players, start teaching them the playbook – the offense, defense and special teams," said coach Doug Marrone. "Really just trying to get a chance to know them, how they learn, what they do and really teach them our tempo of practice and what our expectations are out of them. That was the main goal going into today."
In a setting best described as "crawl before you can walk," Marrone said he was looking to see which players arrived in shape and were ready to "try to make good first impressions."
The Bills conducted a two-hour practice inside their fieldhouse as thunderstorms boomed outside. Marrone, though, said work in the classroom will be just as important as what they do on the field this weekend for the rookie class.
"Every one of them learns a little bit differently," the coach said. "We're trying to make sure that we can get them better by understanding what is the best way they learn."
While the eyes of media members were focused on quarterback EJ Manuel, the team's first-round draft pick, Marrone said he was particularly focused on who he was throwing to.
"I was interested in looking at the wide receivers," the coach said. "I think you guys have seen me enough that I do rotate around [to different positions] quite a bit. People are going to be looking at that [the quarterbacks]. I don't doubt that. But I was excited by those groups of receivers. I thought they did a nice job."
But their chemistry between Manuel and fellow quarterback Jeff Tuel understandably was a bit off at times.
"One of the things you see is just kind of how they have a feel for each other. I've been in places sometimes where it's natural. Guys go out there and throw the ball around like they did [Friday]. I thought they did a good job," Marrone said. "Sometimes you go out there and you have to get to a better feel of where they're going to be and where they're going."
The collective bargaining agreement between the league and its players prohibits full contact at the minicamp, so there is no live blocking, tackling, pass rushing or bump-and-run coverage. Players are in helmets, but not shoulder pads.
The 33 players in attendance included the Bills' eight draft picks, 16 undrafted free agents and nine players on the roster without a pension-accredited NFL season.
The Bills announced contracts with four more of their draft picks Friday: receiver Marquise Goodwin (third round), defensive backs Duke Williams (fourth round) and Jonathan Meeks (fifth round) and kicker Dustin Hopkins (sixth round). Seventh-round tight end Chris Gragg signed Thursday.
All players drafted outside of the first round get four-year contracts. Terms of the deals were not released, but given the rookie wage scale in place in the NFL, it's expected that Goodwin's deal will be worth about $2.7 million.
The Bills now have five of their eight members of the 2013 draft class under contract. Manuel and second-round picks Robert Woods and Kiko Alonso have yet to sign contracts.
Highlights from the practice included a leaping, one-handed grab from Brandon Kaufman, an undrafted free agent receiver out of Eastern Washington. Kaufman earlier pulled in a deep ball over the middle from Manuel that covered about 35 yards.
Goodwin also got free down the left sideline on a go route and hauled in a deep pass from Manuel.
Defensive back Dominique Ellis picked off a Manuel pass that sailed over the middle on the final play of 7-on-7 drills.
The Bills will hold two more rookie minicamps today and Sunday before the entire team joins Monday for the first of 10 voluntary organized team activities.
A three-day mandatory minicamp follows from June 11-13.

The S.C. Highway Patrol will be constantly monitoring roadways for icing and will have additional resources in place for the projected storm.
SCHP is in contact with several state agencies and SCDOT so they can treat the areas that may require attention.
Please use caution on bridges, overpasses and shaded areas for icing (black ice). Monitor your local media for updates and go to SCDPS.gov for more information.
Listed below are some helpful winter weather driving tips:
Slow speed: Slow down for wet, snowy, or icy conditions. You will be more likely to maintain control of your vehicle at lower speeds. Slow down when approaching intersections, off-ramps, bridges or shady spots. These are all candidates for developing black ice a thin coating of clear ice that can form on the pavement surface that may be difficult to see.
Following distance: Decrease your speed and leave yourself plenty of room to stop. You should allow at least three times more space than usual between you and the car in front of you.
Braking: Use your brakes carefully. Brake early, brake slowly, brake correctly, and never slam on the brakes. Braking gently will help you avoid skidding. If you have anti-lock brakes (ABS), press the pedal down firmly and hold it. If you dont have anti-lock brakes, gently pump the pedal to avoid wheel lock-up.
Abrupt maneuvers: Avoid excessive actions while steering, braking or accelerating to lessen the chances of losing control of the vehicle. When youre driving on snow, ice or wet roads, avoid abrupt steering maneuvers.
Vehicles: Dont assume your vehicle can handle all conditions. Even four-wheel and front-wheel drive vehicles can encounter trouble on winter roads. If your vehicle is equipped with Electronic-Stability Control (ESC) make sure its turned on. ESC will assist you in maintaining control of your vehicle if it loses traction. Keep your lights and windshield clean and Turn on your lights to increase your visibility to other motorists.
Road conditions: Be especially careful on bridges, overpasses and infrequently traveled roads, which will freeze first. Even at temperatures above freezing, if the conditions are wet, you might encounter ice in shady areas or on exposed roadways like bridges. Be aware that road conditions are always changing.
Stay alert: When driving in adverse road conditions, look farther ahead in traffic than you normally do. Actions by other vehicles will alert you to problems more quickly, and give you that split-second of extra time to react safely.
Cruise control: Avoid using cruise control in winter driving conditions. You need to be in control of your speed based on road conditions dont let the cruise control make a bad decision for you.
If your vehicle starts to skid you should:
Take your foot off the accelerator.
Counter steer and if the rear of your vehicle is sliding left, steer left into the skid. If its sliding right, steer right. Steer in the direction you want the front of the vehicle to go.
If you have standard brakes, then pump them gently.
If you have anti-lock brakes (ABS), do not pump the brakes. Apply steady pressure to the brakes. You will feel the brakes pulse -- this is normal.
If you get stuck:
Do not spin your wheels. This will only dig you in deeper.
Turn your wheels from side to side a few times to push snow out of the way.
Use a light touch on the gas, to ease your car out.
Use a shovel to clear snow away from the wheels and the underside of the car.
Pour sand, kitty litter, gravel or salt in the path of the wheels, to help get traction.
Try rocking the vehicle. (Check your owners manual first -- it can damage the transmission on some vehicles.) Shift from forward to reverse, and back again. Each time youre in gear, give a light touch on the gas until the vehicle gets going.
Be Prepared
Before you head out, make sure you have cleared the snow off your vehicles lights, windows, turn signals and brake lights. SCHP advises you to make sure you can see and be seen.
When traveling in wintry conditions make sure you give yourself extra time to reach your destination safely.
Winter conditions can be taxing on your vehicle. Check your vehicles tires, brakes, fluids, wiper blades, lights, belts, and hoses to make sure theyre in good condition before the start of the winter season. Dress appropriately and carry a blanket in the trunk in case you are stranded. A breakdown is bad on a good day, and can be dangerous on a bad-weather day.
The SC Highway Patrol wants you to be prepared, so before leaving home find about current driving conditions. Also keep watching your local news stations or state agency websites such as SCDPS.gov and SCEMD.org for updates.

Branson police say a 63-year-old woman's death in a hotel room is a homicide.
A maid found the woman's body Sunday at the Ramada Resort and Conference Center on the Branson strip.
Police say the woman's husband is a person of interest in the case.
The couple from California had just moved to the Branson area and checked into the Ramada Inn Thursday. Investigators say no one inside the hotel heard or saw anything suspicious before the woman's body was found.
Investigators believe the woman had been dead for at least 24 hours when she was found.
The victim's name was not released pending notification of relatives.
