Spam buried your question.
Your question was buried in a flood of more than 12,000 comments, mostly spam, that this website received in the past week and a half. My apology for only getting to your question now.
In an effort to reduce spam in the future, I've changed the website to no longer accept anonymous comments. Only those who create free accounts on this website will be able to comment now. That should improve response time on approving and replying to comments.
That said, I don't have access to a printed copy of the Nov. 23rd newspaper at this time. My apologies.
