Muffet and Lady Irish Collect for Homeless: Notre Dame, Ind. –The holiday season will be much brighter for numerous families around Michiana, thanks to the generosity of hundreds of people who contributed to the first-ever Fighting Irish Women’s Basketball “Dish for the Holidays” food drive, to benefit the Food Bank of Northern Indiana.
Head coach Muffet McGraw and her staff, along with all 11 Lady Irish players, braved the cold temperatures on Thursday morning to man numerous collection stations around the Notre Dame campus. When the two-hour food drive concluded, eight full boxes of non-perishable food and sundries (close to 400 pounds) were packed on a truck and headed to the Food Bank. In addition, several pasers-by offered monetary donations to the effort, with $646 collected to complement the food drive.
“We are just so grateful for the support and enthusiasm shown by the people of Michiana to come out and donate whatever they can for this event,” Coach McGraw said. “It’s the responsibility of each of us as citizens here in Michiana to do all we can to make a difference and improve the lives of our community. I hope we were able to do just a little bit to help that process along and make the holidays more enjoyable for our friends and neighbors.”
The Food Bank of Northern Indiana provides some of CFH’s food.
The Lady Irish take to the court again tonight after a nine-day break with a game at IUPUI.

Dancing Angels Visit CFH: The CFH Monday night meeting received a visit from Mary, Joseph, Baby Jesus, shepherds, wise men, dancing angels dressed in white, and a choir. Conspicuously missing was a red-suited, jolly old elf.
The group was from the New Life Baptist Church in Osceola, led by Pastor Mike Cramer.
New Life’s Positive Faith Choir performed carols such as “White Christmas”, “Toyland”, “Silver Bells’, and “It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas” along with more spiritual contemporary and traditional tunes. They were accompanied by a four-piece band that included New Life Music Coordinator Tammy Bilotta.
New Life Church members passed out candy canes to the children while Pastor Mike explained the spiritual meaning of the candy cane.
According to Pastor Mike, candy canes were developed by a Indiana candy maker. They are hard because God’s church is founded on the rock and white because of Jesus’ purity. The three small stripes represent the three persons of the Trinity. The red color also signifies the blood He shed. The cane is curved to represent a shepherd’s staff.
One of the highlights of the meeting was the live nativity scene with the above-mentioned characters and the choir singing “Oh Holy Night”.
Pastor Mike ended the visit with a message of “love, hope, and peace” with Matthew 19:26 as his text.

Ike Turner, 76, Dies: Rock legend Ike Turner died Wednesday in his San Marcos home.
Turner had continued to make music and tour even though he was battling Emphysema. He won a 2007 Grammy in the Traditional Blues Album category for “Risin’ with the Blues”.
He is credited by rock historians with the first Rock ‘n’ Roll album, “Rocket 88”, in 1951.
He married Anna Mae Bullock in 1959 and the duo formed the “Ike and Tina Turner Review”. They produced a string of hits, including “A Fool in Love”, “I Idolize You”, “It’s Gonna Work Out Fine”, “River Deep, Mountain High”, and “Proud Mary”.
Ike and Tina, who have been divorced for more 35 years, have two surviving sons.

ND Women 94, Valparaiso 56: Ashley Barlow scored 15 of her 19 points in the first half.
The Irish (9-1), who have won all but one of their six home games by 30 points or more, forced 17 turnovers.
The Crusaders were led by South Bend St. Joseph’s graduate Aimee Litka with a career-high 17 points. Valpo freshman Ashley Varner, who played on South Bend Washington’s state 4-A basketball champions, also saw action.
The Irish have a nine-day break. Their next game is December 21 in Indianapolis against IUPUI.
Correction: New Cubs’ outfielder Kosuke Fukudome played nine seasons, not 17, with the Chunichi Dragons.
Fukudome, a left-handed batter, was the 2006 MVP of Japan’s Central League, with a .351 batting average, 31 homers, and 104 RBIs. He won two batting titles and four Gold Gloves.

New Chief Programming Officer is No Stranger: Lani Vivirito, the new CFH Chief Programming Officer, is no stranger to Center guests.
Lani has worked at CFH for the last five years as a counselor with the Genesis program.
Lani assumed her new duties last Monday. Her office is on the second floor, next to the women/family living quarters.
As Chief Programming Officer, Lani will be overseeing coaching, education and job retention, housing/transition, and the Child Development Center.
The regulars in her Anger Management sessions should not be upset, according to Lani. Genesis will continue to run those in her absence. Times will be determined.
“I feel pretty good,” said Lani after one week in her new position. “I feel I have an advantage having been an agency partner the last five years.”
Lani, a licensed clinical social worker, received her bachelor’s degree from the University of Illinois and her masters from the University of Chicago. She and her husband, Patrick, have a two-year-old daughter, Kyria.

To add insult to injury Atlanta found out that quarterback Michael Vick will spend 23 months in federal prison on dogfighting charges.

Bears to Go With Orton: Purdue graduate Kyle Orton, who started 15 games as a rookie in 2005, will get another chance for the Bears.
The fourth-round draft choice, who has a 10-5 record as a starter, hasn’t thrown a regular-season pass since January 1, 2006.
The Bears also placed defensive tackles Anthony Adams and Antonio Garay on injured reserve. Adams injured his elbow eight days ago in a game against the Giants. Garay suffered a ankle injury Thursday night at Washington.

CFH Holiday Miracle Luncheon: Chris Gardner, Sr., and his son are both successful entrepreneurs today but when Chris, Jr., was two they both slept in homeless shelters or a train station restroom.
Chris, Sr., told of their homeless experience in his 2006 book “The Pursuit of Happyness” which was made into a movie starring Will Smith.
After completing his internship and working for Dean Witter, Chris, Sr., founded Gardner Rich and Co. in Chicago. He sold his stake in that company in a multi-million dollar deal. He is now the owner and CEO of Christopher Gardner International Holdings with offices in New York, Chicago, and San Francisco. He has also given his time and money to help others who are in the same situation he was.
Chris, Jr., graduated from Whitney Young High School in Chicago and got his bachelor’s degree from the University of North Carolina-Charlotte. He is in the music and movie business. Chris, Jr., also has a sister, Jacintha, 20.
Chris, Jr., now 26, was the featured speaker at the CFH Holiday Miracle Luncheon yesterday. Before the luncheon he was given a tour of the center by Executive Director Steve Camilleri
Chris--who at 6-8, 230 pounts, is about a foot taller than Steve-- joked that he should produce a sequel to the Danny DeVito-Arnold Schwarzenegger move “Twins” with himself and Steve.
Chris, Jr., was a particular favorite of the CFH children.
“They must have thought I was Shrek,” said Chris.
Chris, Jr., said he was impressed by his tour.
“I’m so glad I got to visit the Center,” he said. “I wish my father and I had had a place like that.”
In answer to a commonly-asked question, Chris said that the movie was largely realistic, although it took some artistic liberties. For instance, Chris’s character—played by Will Smith’s son, Jaden--is five instead of two.
Chris said the scene where the pair slept in the bathroom was so realistic that his father had to excuse himself from the set.
Chris also said he didn’t remember being that small or that cute.
Chris stated that as a young entrepreneur he has had his share of setbacks.
“I know I wouldn’t change my experiences,” Chris said in closing. “They have made me into the man I am today.”
