As No Child Left Behind

law makes way for Every

KARA NEWHOUSE

KNEWHOUSE@LNPNEWS.COM

Call it a Christmas present to

schools.
The contentious federal law No
Child Left Behind is a thing of the
past, and many educators across the
nation are celebrating its demise.
But will the policy change ring in a
new year of less test-focused schooling in Pennsylvania?
Thats up to the states lawmakers.
I would hope this allows for a little more common sense, said Calvin Esh, the teachers union president at Lampeter-Strasburg School
District. But time will tell.
Earlier this month, President
Barack Obama signed the Every
Student Succeeds Act, a bipartisan
bill that diminishes the federal governments role in school oversight.

for Mary after two
years of heroin addiction.
Raised in Lancaster Countys affluent suburbs, she
had resorted to living in a
car homeless, broke and
sick.
She had contracted hepatitis and developed an abscess on her arm from sharing dirty needles.
She was on the brink of
death.
But Mary survived.
She survived her near-fatal health problems.
And she survived the intense cravings for a substance that is killing record
numbers of people across
the county, the state and the
nation.
But Mary did not break
free of heroins grip on her

She had a plan, she had

Six years after Lancaster

County last raised starting
wages for government employees, qualified job-seekers
often arent applying for vacant positions now at 154
and important work is not
getting done.
Preventive

at the prison, for example, is
months behind schedule because of four vacancies.
Things are not getting
done, said Charlie Douts, the

The countys starting wages

remain stuck at 2009 levels,
which a majority of the county
commissioners chose not to
change for 2016.
A newly hired prison maintenance worker continues to
earn $11.94 an hour; a clerical
specialist $11.01, according to
the countys website.
The county has a hiring
freeze on noncritical positions because the state hasnt
passed a budget, but officials
still are not getting good applicants for jobs that need to
be filled when the freeze ends,
officials said.

ll week long the song Angels

We Have Heard On High had
been playing in my head and
occasionally I had been whistling it. So it was only appropriate when I
saw these angel lights that I would photograph them.
I captured this image using a long exposure and by rotating the zoom lens as the
cameras shutter was open. I placed the
camera on a tripod and set the self-timer
to 2-seconds to help minimize camera
shake. The shutter was open for 2 seconds, but waited a little to start zooming
in, which created a more distinct outline
of the shape of the angel.

I had utilized this technique a few times

using slide film many years ago. Back then
you would only take a roll, then have to
wait for a few days to find out if you got
anything good. With digital cameras you
can experiment with different zooms and
pans and get instant feedback.
What I have learned in photographing
Christmas lights is that the newer LED
lights will not give you the solid line blur
as well as the tungsten lights from years
ago did. Instead, the LEDs will give you a
series of dots.
So if you enjoy looking at Christmas
lights, take your camera along and give it a
try. And remember, Gloria in excelsis Deo.

THE METHOD
Nikon D4S with a 70-200 lens zoomed from 125-70 during the exposure. Shot in manual
mode, ISO of 250, shutter speed of 2 seconds, aperture of f/22. For more Through the

Hassan Porter expressed his opinion of the first Santas Spokes bicycle
giveaway without uttering a word.
His smile did all the talking necessary.

Burrowes Elementary School in the
city, was among 54 children to get

event, held at Tellus360.
Not bad. Not a bad days work
for Santa Claus, said Joe Weitzel, a
Lancaster Rehabilitation Hospital
registered nurse who created the
initiative this summer.
Weitzel originally imagined buying bikes at Wal-Mart for needy
kids. For help, he turned to four
nursing friends who work at various
facilities, dubbing the group Santas

Spokes, thinking they could recruit

sponsors to fund the purchases.
But Weitzel and his allies nurse
practitioners Carly Albright and
Brandon Roda, registered nurse
Christin Brennan and former nurse
Kim Marrolli, now a Spanish teacher faced some limits.
Besides the obvious financial hurdle, the group wondered how theyd
figure out what size of bikes to buy,
among other concerns.
Luckily that idea didnt go far. It
would have been a disaster, said Albright, noting that none of five are
bicyclists.

accused of
injuring a
6-year-old
girl.

RROBINSON@LNPNEWS.COM

A Denver man threw

a 6-year-old girl onto
the floor in her home,
causing her brain to
bleed and other serious
injuries,
authorities
said Thursday.
Police have charged
Anthony R. Dickersheid with injuring the
girl his girlfriends
daughter on Oct. 14,
East Cocalico Township Detective Keith
Neff alleged in a criminal complaint.
The girl is back at
home recovering, Lancaster County district attorneys office
spokesman Brett Hambright said Thursday.
She suffered bleeding
of the brain and other
injuries, doctors who
treated her at Hershey
Medical Center told
authorities. The doctors said the injuries
werent self-inflicted or
caused by an accident.
Dickersheid hasnt
admitted to hurting
the girl, but told police
he had sole custody of
her when the injuries
were inflicted. Dickersheids girlfriend was
working at the time of
the alleged incident on

School Court in Denver.

The girls mother
went to work that evening around 8:30 p.m.
and returned home after her shift the following morning. A short
while later, she noticed
the girls injuries, the
complaint states.
In interviews at the
Childrens
Alliance
Center in October, the
girl said Dickersheid
threw her off a bed and
onto a floor, according
to the complaint. He
then threw her back
onto the bed after he
changed the covers, the
complaint states.
Neff filed charges of
felony aggravated assault and misdemeanor
counts of reckless endangerment and endangering a child this
week.
Dickersheid was arraigned Tuesday and
committed to Lancaster County Prison. District Judge Nancy Hamill set bail at $50,000.

Do you want to help

disadvantaged Lancaster city high school students attend college?
If so, and you can make
a donation, The Steinman Foundation will
double your money.
The foundation this
week announced it
will match gifts made
through the end of 2016
to the Lancaster Partnership Program, up to
a maximum of $100,000.
The partnership provides college readiness
and career exploration
programming to eligible
students at the School
District of Lancaster.
Participants who complete their high school
academic work successfully are offered admission to Millersville University.
Those students are
eligible for federal and
state grants. In addition, the partnership
program provides for
scholarships of up to
$5,000 a year to help
with living expenses and
other costs, said Aminta
Breaux, vice president
for advancement at Millersville.
That latter funding is
mainly what the foundations challenge grant

aims to bolster, she said.

Were thrilled with
this, Breaux said.
Assuming the first year
goes well, the foundation has promised to renew the challenge grant
for up to five years.
The Steinman Foundation is a local, independent family foundation that was funded by
the companies that comprise Steinman Communications; those companies include LNP Media
Group, which publishes
this newspaper and runs
the
LancasterOnline
website.
The partnership programs funding is about
$437,000 now, Breaux
said. Millersville University contributes a little
under $260,000, and
private and corporate
donations make up the
rest.
Additional
funding
will allow us to do so
much more, including
expanding the program
to more students, she
said.
The Steinman Foundation has been a part
of LPP since the beginning, foundation president Shane Zimmerman
said, and this grant will
allow the students increased preparation at

Santas Spokes: Bike giveaway

especially with a group
that had financial backing and volunteers.
All in all, this is a better event, said Ingargiola, already looking
forward to repeating the
program in 2016 and
adding free bike locks to
the giveaway.

Volunteers with Conestoga Valley Christian Community Services hand out stocking stuffers to
families in the Conestoga Valley School District.
The organization delivered more than 200 meals
Saturday and distributed presents to families and
their children. For more photos from Saturdays

a downtown bar and music venue.

Devoy
suggested
Santas Spokes collaborate with The Common
Wheel, a nonprofit bike
shop in the city that gets
many donated bikes. Devoy also agreed to host
a giveaway party at no
charge.
Common Wheel was
happy to be a partner,
agreeing to supply the
bikes and repair and
adjust them as needed.
It bought parts and helmets with $3,800 raised
by Santas Spokes.
Some were in perfect condition and just
needed air in the tires.
Some needed a complete
overhaul, said Jason Ingargiola, whose title at
Common Wheel is service manager extraordinaire.
Common Wheel had
run its own Christmas
bike giveaway last December. For the 2014
event, Common Wheel
gave away 35 to 40 bikes.
This time around,
Common Wheel was delighted to collaborate,

Motivated by
memories
Weitzel, who was
named Lancaster Countys fourth poet laureate last December, said
he was moved to launch
Santas Spokes by a pair
of childhood memories.
Now in his 50s, Weitzel recalled growing up
in the city and going to
public
Christmas-gift
giveaways. Though the
presents were modest,
it was the best thing to
happen to him for the
holiday.
Weitzel also remembered spending many
hours of his youth on
his 20-inch white Huffy
bike. Whether you live
in the city or in the country, you never forget your
bike, he said.

Children were invited

to participate in the Santas Spokes program by
city elementary schools
Burrowes, Carter & MacRae and Fulton, Clare
House (a local nonprofit
that assists homeless
women and their children) and Church World
Service (a local nonprofit
that assists refugees and
immigrants).
The schools used different methods to select
the participants.
For instance, at Carter
& MacRae, 15 students
who attended a bikesafety course this summer were invited, said
Keith Corrigan, a fifthgrade teacher.
The intensive course
four days a week for
four weeks used the
schools bikes. Now the
children have their own.
They are very well
prepared, said Demettra Welters, a Carter &
MacRae teacher who
taught the safety program. They know how
to ride safely in the city.
Fulton took its own
tack.
Josh Benner, a health
and physical education teacher, knew who
lacked a bike. Sarah Farbo, community school
director, knew who
would struggle to afford
one.

bike), some of them are

in tears, theyre so happy, said Farbo.

Picking a bike

The emotion was in

abundance Saturday on
the second floor of Tellus360 too.
There, children were
greeted by cookies, hot
chocolate,
Christmas
carols, a bilingual Santa
Claus and dozens of
shiny bikes.
Some 27 volunteers
guided the children
through the selection
process, fitting them
with helmets and letting them take a test spin
slowly around the room.
(Another seven kids
who couldnt attend will
get bikes delivered to
their homes. Two boys
who didnt find bikes
their size were invited to
stop by Common Wheel
to look at the selection
there.)
A beaming Alanis Ortiz, 10, a Fulton fourthgrader, explained why
she picked the bike she
was sitting on. I like hot
pink, said Alanis, accompanied by her mother, Nancy Pantoja.
It looks really nice and
I like the way it feels,
said Joshua Martin, 10,
a Carter & MacRae fifthgrader.
Denyse Glover brought
grandsons Hassan Porter and Burrowes firstgrader Haneef Porter for
bikes. The brothers are
among four grandchildren shes raising. So she
was grateful for the giveaway, saying it meant a
lot to her and the boys.
Theyre both excited,
said Glover. This is really neat for them.

line and prepare an alternate pipeline. The

beams and a portion of
the bridge deck likely
wont be replaced until
after winter.
If we can do it earlier,
we will, Penny said.
Landis Valley Road will
remain closed between
Route 272 and Butter
Road. Police recommend
motorists use Hunsicker
and Eden roads as alternatives.
A PennDOT crew will
do patchwork on Monday to ensure debris
wont fall onto the road
below, Penny said.
PennDOT did not have
an estimate for the cost
of the bridge repairs as
of Saturday. About 8,500
vehicles travel on Landis
Valley Road every day,
according to Penny.

Driver charged
A Mississippi man was
charged with permit,
height and equipment
violations in the collision, according to a Manheim Township police
press release.
Dexter Higginbottom,
45, of Tupelo, Mississippi, was driving northbound on Route 222 Friday afternoon when the
truck hit the overpass at
Landis Valley Road, police said.
The truck, which is
owned by BBNT Trucking, of West Virginia, was
transporting an oversize
load that exceeded the
13-foot-6-inch
maximum allowed by his permit.
The bridge height is 14
feet, 5 inches.

Settlement
Continued from A3

from 2002 through 2008

and were prompted by
unclear Medicare rules
on when spinal-surgery
patients should be held
overnight.
Even though there
were no findings of
wrongdoing or liability,
we agreed to the settlement to avoid the delay,
uncertainty,
inconvenience and expense of
protracted
litigation
in a case that has been
pending since 2008, she
wrote.
Lancaster Regional did
not specify how much it
paid in the settlement,
but according to the
Department of Justice
it and four other hospitals formerly owned
by Health Management
Associates Inc. together
will pay $2 million.
Lancaster
Regional
was one of more than
457 hospitals involved
in a similar settlement
involving implantable
cardioverter defibrillators announced in October.
It and its sister hospital, Heart of Lancaster
Regional Medical Center, are also involved in
a separate lawsuit alleging a kickback scheme

in 2008 and 2009, when

they were owned by
HMA.
That case was consolidated with several others
in April 2014, and court
documents indicate ongoing settlement discussions in it.

governor,
who is under pressure to
make his mark, repeatedly injected himself into
the discussion, scolding
Clinton and Sanders on
their records on gun control and painting himself
as the true progressive on
the stage.
Secretary
Clinton
changes her position on
this every election year it
seems, OMalley said in
a lively exchange. What
we need on this issue is

not more polls, we need

more principle.
The Democrats also
got into a heated argument about foreign policy and what the United
State should focus on
in Syria. Sanders and
OMalley both agreed
that destroying the Islamic State should be
the top priority, while
Clinton contended that
the United States should
simultaneously work to
remove the government
of Bashir Assad.
Sanders used the opportunity bring up Clintons 2002 vote to authorize the use of force in
Iraq and suggested that
she was too quick to intervene in the affairs of
other countries.
I worry that Secretary
Clinton is too much into
regime change, Sanders
said.
OMalley also jumped
into the fray, arguing
that Clintons focus on
Assad was an example of
a Cold War mentality.

Defending her position

in a spirited sequence,
Clinton pointed to her
experience
building
coalitions and said the
world needs U.S. leadership.
If the United States
does not lead, there is
not another leader, there
is a vacuum, she said to
loud applause.
The debate was not
without lighter moments, such as when
Clinton returned late to
her podium after a commercial break and briefly
interrupted her rivals,
who had already started
fielding questions. She
also drew laughs when
asked: Should corporate America love Hillary
Clinton?
She replied with a
smile:
Everybody
should.
For Sanders, however,
it was a chance to criticize Clinton for being
too chummy with Wall
Street and to make his
case that big banks are

PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE

fomenting income inequality and hurting the

middle class.
CEOs of large multinationals are not going
to like me, Sanders said.
Wall Street is going to
like me even less.
One thing the three
candidates agreed on
was their opposition to
Donald Trump, the Republican
presidential
candidate who is leading
in most polls. They all
argued that his policy of
banning immigration of
Muslims would lead only
to more violence.
Mr. Trump has a great
capacity to use bluster
and bigotry to inflame
people and make them
think there are very
easy answers to complex
questions, Clinton said.
He is becoming ISISs
best recruiter, she said,
using another name for
the Islamic State.
The debate came as
frustration
mounted
within the Sanders campaign over concerns that
the Democratic National
Committee was tilting
the contest in Clintons
favor. The DNC moved
to deny the Sanders campaign access to the partys 50-state voter file,
which contains information on millions of Democrats, following a data
breach by one of Sanderss staff members who
gained access to proprietary information from
Clintons campaign. The
committee backed down
after the Sanders campaign filed a lawsuit but
it is opening an investigation into the matter.

Fact check: A look

at the Democrats
statements
WASHINGTON
(AP) With each new
debate, the presidential candidates come
closer to getting the
Jordanian
kings
name right.
Among Republican
and Democratic contenders alike, King
Abdullah II is considered an important figure in the struggle for
stability in the Middle
East. But darned if
they can nail down his
name.
In the Democratic
debate Saturday night,
Vermont Sen. Bernie
Sanders heaped praise
on the king for accepting many Syrian refugees and recognizing
that the fight against
the Islamic State group
must be waged primary by Muslim nations.
But he called him Abdul, not Abdullah.
Still, that was an improvement from the
Republican
debate
earlier in the week,
when New Jersey Gov.
Chris Christie vowed:
When I stand across
from King Hussein
of Jordan and I say
to him, You have a
friend again sir, who
will stand with you to
fight this fight, hell
change his mind.
King Hussein died
in 1999.
Among other statements in the Democratic debate:

SANDERS: Middle
class in this country for
the last 40 years has
been disappearing.
THE FACTS: Its no
secret that the middle
class is struggling. The
costs of college, health
care and housing continue to rise, while wages
have barely budged for
two decades. The Pew
Research Center reported earlier this month
that the majority of
Americans are no longer
middle income.
But things are not
quite as dire as Sanders
suggests.
Pew found the share of
Americans that it defines
as middle income a
family of three earning
$73,392 has slipped.
Its down to 50 percent
of households from 61
percent in 1971.
More Americans are
low income, but more
are also upper income.
The closer look at the
shift out of the middle
reveals that a deeper polarization is under way
in the American economy, Pew concluded.
Pew defines the median upper income as
starting at $174,625 a
lot of money, but hardly
the billionaire class attacked by Sanders.

HILLARY
CLINTON: Assad has killed
250,000 Syrians.
THE FACTS: Clinton appears to be blaming the entire estimated
death toll of the Syrian
civil war on just one side:
the forces of Syrian President Bashar Assad. Yet
no matter how vicious
his forces have been,
deaths have come at the
hands of all sides in the
nearly 5-year-old multifront civil war.
The Syrian conflict
began with anti-government protests before
spiraling into a war with
many groups emerging in opposition to the
brutal regime crackdown. Rebels in some of
these groups are fighting
and killing each other,
in some cases with no
involvement by Assadbacked troops.
The United Nations
has estimated a death
toll of 220,000 since
2011; other estimates
are higher, and Clintons
figure is roughly in line
with them. But the death
toll is attributable to all
parties, not just to Assad.

Roll call

WASHINGTON (AP)
Heres how area members of Congress voted
on major issues in the
week ending Dec. 18.

A yes vote was to send

the bill to the Senate,
which then cleared it
for President Obamas
signature.
Voting yes: Joseph Pitts,
R-16
Voting no: Pat Meehan, R-7

House

n $622 BILLION IN TAX

n $1.15 TRILLION

GOVERNMENT FUNDING:
Voting 316 for and 113
against, the House
on Dec. 18 passed an
appropriations bill (HR
2029) that would fund
the government through
Sept. 30, 2016, at an annual
level of $1.15 trillion in
discretionary spending.
The bill includes scores or
hundreds of key changes
in existing law, including
ones that would repeal a
40-year ban on exporting
American crude oil,
provide major increases
in the National Institutes
of Health and veterans
budgets and protect the
Visa Waiver Program
against terrorists using it to
enter the U.S. undercover.
The bill also would grant
immunity against privacy
lawsuits to companies
that voluntarily share
real-time information on
cyber attacks with the
Department of Homeland
Security. And it would
permanently extend a
specialized 9/11 healthcare
program for thousands
of individuals who have
become seriously ill as
a result of emergencyresponse and cleanup work
at the World Trade Center
site.

BREAKS, DEFICITS: Voting

318 for and 109 against, the
House on Dec. 17 passed a
bill extending several dozen
tax credits and deductions
that benefit businesses,
families, nonprofits,
churches, college students,
teachers and other parties.
Because the cost of the
bill is not offset or paid for
elsewhere in the budget,
it would add $622 billion
to the national debt over
10 years, or more than
$700 billion when Treasury
borrowing costs are
factored in. Later, this bill
arrived in the Senate and
then on President Obamas
desk after being joined to
HR 2029 (above).
The bill would make
permanent the $1,000 child
tax credit and a $2,500
tax credit to help lowincome families pay for
higher education, and it
would permanently extend
the earned-income tax
credit available to lowincome working families.
In addition, the bill would
make permanent the
research and development
tax credit for businesses
and extend for five years
a bonus-depreciation
rule that mainly benefits
small companies. The bill
would make permanent

BUDGET IMPASSE

House vote fails;

deal appears dead
ANGELA COULOUMBIS
THE PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER

HARRISBURG The
tentative budget agreement between Gov. Wolf
and the Republicancontrolled
legislature
collapsed Saturday, leaving the state yet again in
fiscal limbo with no clear
way out.
The breakdown occurred after the House
of Representatives resoundingly defeated a
proposal to rein in the
skyrocketing cost of the
states two pension funds
by placing new teachers
and state workers into a
hybrid pension system.
The vote was 149-52.
That bill was considered a key piece of the
$30.8 billion deal, and
without it, the rest of
the agreement appears
null, said House Majority Leader Dave Reed, RIndiana.
Reed said his chamber
will now begin considering a temporary budget, known as a stop-gap
plan, to begin freeing up
critical state funds. Some
school districts have
warned they may not be
able to open after winter
break if a budget is not
approved.
It was not immediately
clear whether Wolf, who
has vetoed a stop-gap

budget several months

ago, would agree to it.
Hoping to break the
states six-month budget impasse, members of
the House of Representatives had returned to
the Capitol Saturday to
begin voting on several
bills, including one that
would make changes to
the states two big pension funds.
Had the pension bill
been approved, the
chamber would have
then moved to consider
other pieces of the budget agreement, namely,
whether to raise the
state sales or the income
tax to pay for a boost for
public education being
sought by Wolf.
Both the House and
Senate are scheduled to
return to the Capitol today.
The pension bill that
failed would have restructured benefits for
state government and
public school employees.
New employees would
have received both a
traditional pension benefit based on their salary and years of service
although less generous than what current
workers get as well as
a 401(k)-style plan with
a 2.5 percent employer
contribution.

Heroin: Recovery is a journey of the body, mind, spirit

days of using and I was
already hooked, Mary
said. I wanted it. I felt
sad without it. Heroin is
the only thing that feels
that good and that bad.
Soon Mary and her
boyfriend were living in
a car, panhandling and
getting arrested. At one

is one of the toughest addictions to beat.

Relapse is common.
So she built a plan. One
that included medication to ease the biological cravings for heroin,
the support of a church
group, meetings with a
12-step group and intensive counseling.
I absolutely need all
those things to stay on
track, said Mary, who
attended
Manheim
Township High School
as a teen.
She said the medication in this case methadone made her feel
normal again. For once
I felt that I could actually
beat the addiction, she
said.
The use of such medication coupled with
support and counseling make up the kinds
of programs now being
advocated by the government and private addiction specialists.
She was ahead of her
time, said Dr. Joseph
Garbely, medical director at Caron Treatment
Centers in Wernersville, Berks County, after
hearing about the program Mary put together
for herself.

who for more than 50

years has been studying the effects of drugs
on the brain, agrees that
such programs are crucial to overcoming addiction.
The brain changes,
and it doesnt recover when you just stop
the drug because the
brain has been actually
changed, she said in a
published report.
Its hard to find a person who has completely
normal brain function
after a long cycle of opiate addiction, not without specific medication
treatment, she said.
Its time for everyone
to wake up and accept
that abstinence-based
treatment only works in
under 10 percent of opiate addicts, Kreek said.
Practice
guidelines
published by the American Journal of Addiction
Medicine now include
recommendations for
the treatment of opioid
use using methadone,
buprenorphine, naltrexone and/or naloxone.
And this year the federal government increased
access to medicationassisted therapy as part
of what it called a wellrounded treatment program.
Caron and many other
facilities that treat opiate addiction embrace
the kind of multidimensional program that has
kept Mary clean for almost three years, which
includes medication.
Almost 60 percent of
patients enrolled in a
Caron Treatment Center monitoring program
tested free of drugs one
year later.
We believe recovery
is a journey of the body,
mind, spirit, Garbely
said.
Caron also offers group
and individual therapy
to address underlying
psychological
trauma
and other issues that
may have turned someone to heroin in the first
place.
It offers a spiritual approach to recovery and
supports a 12-step program for addicts.
It also emphasizes
the education of family
members of addicts.
Its really important
to address the whole
family, Garbely said.

Support is key

Leah, too, discovered

that support is key. And
not just for addicts, but
for their families.
I was sick, too, she
said. I had to learn to
say I am not living like
this.
After 10 years of living
with the addictions of
her husband and son, she
walked out.

She found hope in

Al-Anon, a nationwide
network of groups for
friends and families of
addicts. There are several chapters in Lancaster
County.
Whats so cool about
the meetings is that you
are loved unconditionally, she said, no matter where you are in your
journey.
She said she learned
from those meetings that
addicts dont get better
when someone is doing
their work. Indeed, the
two addicts in her family
started to do things for
themselves including
getting help after she
left.

Here for a purpose

Mary is now healthy,
working full time, going
to college and supporting herself and her two
rescue dogs.
Before heroin, I was
too lazy to figure out
what I believed in. Once
I got clean, I realized Im
on this earth for a purpose, she said in a recent interview.
She works as a nursing aide, tending to elderly patients. She sees a
counselor regularly.
I keep a journal, writing thoughts and feelings, she said.
Shes
working
to
achieve another dream
becoming a registered
nurse. Although shes
struggling financially to
do it, shes already completed one semester at
the Pennsylvania College of Health Sciences.
She has to take off for
a semester so she can
save up money for more
schooling.
But she takes this setback like she does many
others in life, with gratitude for what she has.
I have no family, I
have no money, but Im
free and working toward
my goals, she said.
Theres a better life
out there, but sobriety
is not just about staying
off heroin, she said. Its
about your whole life,
the rest of your life.

ESSA: Educators welcome new law; impact uncertain

Measuring
schools

Continued from A1

It replaces the No Child

Left Behind law of 2002,
which required schools
to test students each year
in grades 3 to 8 and once
in high school. No Child
Left Behind also created
a national system for
judging schools based on
the results. It imposed
penalties for those that
didnt measure up.
Every Student Succeeds still requires annual testing but allows
each state to decide how
to evaluate schools and
teachers.
Speaking to LNP
last week, local educators and the states top
education official welcomed the change, even
as its real impact on
classrooms is undetermined.

One of the most widely

praised tenets of the new
law is the discretion it
gives states for rating
schools.
Pennsylvania uses its
School
Performance
Profiles to assess public
schools across the state.
Sixty percent to 90 percent of the ratings come
from student test scores,
depending on grade levels, according to state
Secretary of Education
Pedro Rivera.
Rivera, a former superintendent at School
District of Lancaster,
was working with state
legislators to change
that formula even before
Congress passed Every
Student Succeeds.

EVERY STUDENT
SUCCEEDS ACT:
KEY PROVISIONS
n Continued annual

testing in grades 3 to 8 and

once in high school
n Cap on amount of
testing encouraged
n More state control over
how test scores affect
school ratings
n No federal input on how
to evaluate teachers

At meetings around
the state, including a session at Columbia Borough School District in
September, he has told
teachers that he wants
the profiles to capture a
more holistic picture of
school success.
School District of Lancaster Superintendent
Damaris Rau said shed
like to see taken into account factors such as
how many kids are taking high-level classes
and student surveys on
school climate.
Rivera said hes heard
similar suggestions from
other educators. He also
said that legislators seem

to support making some

of those changes, but it
wont occur overnight.
At best, it could happen
in a year, or it could take
three, he said.
In addition to passing
through the Legislature,
a new or modified performance profile would have
to go through the State
Board of Education.

Judging teachers
In the 2013-14 school
year, Pennsylvania began tying teacher job
evaluations to student
test scores. Doing so was
required by the Obama
administration in order
for states to get relief
from some of No Child
Left Behinds most stringent requirements.
The new law scraps
that mandate.
Rau, the Lancaster superintendent, said thats
a good thing.
In a district such as
Lancasters, which has
about 88 percent poverty
and 16 percent English
language learners, there
are many factors beyond
teaching that affect test

results, she said.

For example, researchers say that mastering
academic English can
take five to 10 years, depending on educational
background. Schools do
not always have students
who are learning English
for that long.
We should not hold
teachers to task for not
making growth which is
statistically impossible,
said Rau.
Rivera said changing
Pennsylvanias teacher
evaluations might be a
heavier lift than modifying the School Performance Profiles.
To do so, we have to
prove that we can update
this tool and ensure educators are held accountable, he said.
The secretary said
he hopes that growing
agreement about measuring schools with more
than test scores will impact too how teachers
are evaluated.
Esh, the LampeterStrasburg teacher and
union president, said that
hell tip his hat to the Every Student Succeeds Act

if it does result in such

changes in Pennsylvania.
Until then, he said, elementary teachers especially are really bearing
the brunt of No Child
Left Behinds legacy, because theyre responsible for teaching all three
of the states tested subjects math, language
arts and science.
Theyre on the hook
for all of it. I dont see
this providing a lot of relief for them.

Fans
Continued from A1

ported it have some reasons to be cautious about

how its successor might
affect underserved student groups.

Success for all?

Many supporters of No
Child Left Behind came
from the civil rights community. They say that prior to 2002, schools could
mask disparities within
their student populations
by looking only at aggregate student achievement
or excluding some groups
from tests.
Baron Jones, principal
at Conestoga Valley Middle School, said he saw
that happen in the late
1980s and early 1990s as
a student in Alabama.
When it came time to
take standardized tests,
My school, which was
a very suburban school,
sent all the special ed
kids out of the building,
or they would send the
kids they didnt want (to
take the test) on a field
trip, he recalled.
So then my elementary school would always
do extremely high. Well,
with No Child Left Behind, you cant do that.
Under No Child Left Behind, states and schools
were obligated to look at
performance data for certain subgroups, such as
poor students, racial minorities and special education students, as part of
school ratings.
For the first time, people started to care that
those kids were doing as
well as their peers, School
District of Lancaster Superintendent
Damaris
Rau said in July about the
controversial law.
With the passage of the
Every Student Succeeds
Act, states will have much
more authority over how
they evaluate schools.
They still will have to report test results for subgroups, but how much the
federal government can
hold schools accountable
for achievement gaps is
unclear.
Rau said Monday that
her district will be paying
attention to the performance of underserved
students regardless.
In some communities
they may see this as a celebration that theyre not
accountable, but after so
many years of looking at
subgroups, I would hope
that the majority of communities across America
understand the importance of looking at every
child.
Jones said the new law
raises some concerns.
When you go back to
the states, that states
culture, their political
agenda, really dictates
what thats going to be
like. And being from the
deep, deep South, just
knowing what that might
mean ... its interesting.
Calvin Esh, a Lampeter-Strasburg teacher
and union president,
echoed Jones. More
state power in education
is good, he said, but the
federal government also
has played an important
role in schools, such as
during desegregation.

County wages: Difficult to fill jobs with $11-12 hourly pay

Continued from A1

The problem covers

the spectrum of employment opportunities from the planning commission to
behavioral health caseworkers.
We need to take a hard
look at what we can do
to fill those positions,
Douts told the prison
board Thursday.
The county, which
employs about 1,800
full-time workers, averages 20 to 30 vacancies
a month through retirements, resignations and
terminations.
While the county com-

missioners approved a
2.5 percent raise for all
nonunionized workers
in 2016 (and high performers will earn slightly
more), starting salaries
for new hires remain at
levels set in 2009, when
the commissioners approved a 2.75 percent
increase.

incremental step toward improving our

competitiveness in a
tightening job market.
But
Commissioners
Dennis Stuckey and
Scott Martin opposed
his proposal.
Lehmans
proposed
2 percent raise for new
workers would have added only $77,000 to the
$152 million budget, too
small to require a tax increase or spending cuts.
But it would have helped
the county fill the 154 vacancies.
Martin said he agrees
the county needs to offer a competitive wage,

Raise denied
Earlier this month,
Commissioner
Craig
Lehman proposed increasing starting salaries and wages for new
hires in 2016 by 2 percent, calling it a small,

but prefers waiting for

a salary study. Before
updating the countys
pay scale, the commissioners are considering having a consultant
conduct a detailed analysis of government and
private-sector salaries
across central Pennsylvania.
I dont think 2 percent would really make
a difference in attracting applicants, Martin
said. Thats why I think
a market study needs to
be done.
The
commissioners
budgeted $50,000 for
such a study in 2016

but are now finding out

the cost could be two or
three times that.
We need to know
where we stand in the
job market, Stuckey
said in support of a
study before raising
wage scales. Traditionally, local governments
... didnt have the wage
structure that commercial and industrial employers had. We were
viewed as having pretty
good benefits, but todays world is far more
competitive.
The county last conducted a market study
of salaries and wages in

1997.
Were having trouble competing across
the board with where
the minimums are,
Lehman said. We post
jobs two, three, four
times before we find
people who are qualified and who are willing
to accept the position at
what the county is offering.
I dont want to oversell 2 percent, he added.
If it were approved, it
would have been a modest investment, an incremental step forward that
wouldnt have solved the
problem.

in Lancaster for more
than 15 years, was nominated Friday to serve on
the Pennsylvania Liquor

the local flooring and
ceiling manufacturer.

SIRIUS KEEPS STERN
Satellite radio company Sirius XM
said it renewed ties with Howard
Stern with a five-year contract.
When Stern took $500 million to
leave terrestrial radio and join
Sirius in 2006, it helped establish
satellite radio as a force. Sirius
had $242 million in revenue the
year before Stern came aboard.
The company combined with
competitor XM two years later,
and it had almost $4.2 billion in
revenue last year. Most new cars
now come equipped with its service.
The two sides didnt disclose terms
of their new agreement, which gives
Sirius control of Sterns archives for
12 years.

dividend actions since the economy was crawling

out of the Great Recession in 2009.
Through the first 11 months of this year, S&P
Dow Jones Indices has counted 16 dividend cuts
or suspensions for companies in the S&P 500.
Thats nowhere close to the 78 tallied in 2009
during the aftermath of the financial crisis, but its
double last years total.
It also doesnt include several disappointing
dividend moves made since the end of November.
Miner Freeport-McMoRan suspended its payout,
and pipeline operator Kinder Morgan slashed its
payout 75 percent earlier this month.
Barclays strategists are forecasting dividend
growth will fall to 5 percent next year for the S&P
500. That would be the weakest rate since 2010.

Dividend decline
The dividend gravy
train is slowing.
For years,
companies have lavished
ever-bigger payouts on their
shareholders thanks to a run of record profits. In
each of the last four years, total dividends paid by
companies in the Standard & Poors 500 index
jumped at least 10 percent.
But earnings are now plunging for energy and
raw-materials businesses due to the collapse in
commodities prices. Elsewhere, profit growth has
slowed. Thats caused an uptick in the number of
companies cutting or even halting their dividends.
This year is the worst for such disappointing

IPO MARKET SLOWS

U.S. companies lost their nerve for
going public in late 2015. According
to a report from Renaissance
Capital, U.S. companies raised $30
billion by going public this year.
Thats the lowest total in six years.
The firm said market debuts went
into a tailspin in August and
September as global markets
struggled, and they slowed to a
near halt by the end of the year. A
total of 169 companies went public,
the fewest since 2012, and most
are trading below their IPO price.
Almost half of all offerings came
from the health care sector as
biotechnology companies continued
to go public.

PERSHING FEELS THE PAIN

The hedge fund Pershing Square
warned investors that 2015 may be
its worst year ever. Bill Ackmans
fund said its investments are down
about 20 percent this year. The
biggest problem is Pershing
Squares investment in Valeant
Pharmaceuticals. Pershing Square
says it paid an average of $160 per
share for its stake in the Canadian
drugmaker. Valeant stock peaked at
more than $260 in August but is now
trading at around $110 following
intense criticism of the companys
drug pricing and sales practices. An
investment in Platform Specialty
Products, a specialty chemicals
maker, has also struggled. Pershing
Squares previous worst year was
2008, when the financial crisis struck.

Colleges seeking
transgender waivers
Nearly three dozen religious colleges
and universities in 20 U.S. states have
received federal waivers allowing them
not to accommodate transgender students in admissions, housing and other areas of campus life, according to a
report by the nations largest LGBT

2014 and 2015 obtained exemptions to
a law that prohibits sex discrimination
in educational settings collectively enroll more than 73,000 students.

Cosby lawyers fight

deposition of wife
Lawyers for Bill Cosby say theyll
fight an attempt to require the comedians wife to give a sworn deposition
in a defamation lawsuit filed by seven
women who accuse Cosby of sexually
assaulting them decades ago.
A lawyer for the women has subpoenaed Camille Cosby to be deposed on
Jan. 6. at a Springfield, Massachusetts,
hotel. But Cosbys lawyers filed a motion Friday to quash the subpoena, saying she has no firsthand, non-repetitive
knowledge of issues in the lawsuit.

After debate, Bush

calls Trump a jerk
Days after going toe-to-toe with
Donald Trump on the debate stage, Jeb
Bush seemed to relish his new role as
the Republican front-runners chief
critic while campaigning on Saturday
in New Hampshire.
Ive got to get this off my chest:
Donald Trump is a jerk, Bush said,
unprompted, between answering two
voters questions. Then he slammed
the billionaire businessman for insulting women, Hispanics and people with
disabilities during the campaign.

YOUNG AMERICANS

Wired to the world, politically passive

DAVID LIGHTMAN

MCCLATCHY WASHINGTON BUREAU

UNIVERSITY PARK They

are connected to one another like
never before. And they are as disconnected from American politics
as ever.
Theyre avid volunteers for community causes, yet most hardly
seem to care about government or
campaigns. They see a government
thats not deserving of their trust,
resistant to change and barely caring about their needs. They dont
think their vote counts.
They are the young. Old enough
to vote, numerous enough to pick
a president or a Congress. And they
dont seem to care.
I dont pay taxes. I dont pay for
my health insurance, said Emilia
Pascarella, a sophomore at Penn
State University. I dont feel Im
being affected.
I dont think about government
that much, added Grace Nissi, a junior at Penn State.
Their comments are typical of
nearly 80 young people interviewed in central Pennsylvania, a
diverse cross-section of blue- and
white-collar, black, white, Hispanic and Asian-American, students
majoring in physics, health administration, advertising, electrical engineering and more from
Pennsylvania State University and
the Central Pennsylvania Institute
of Science and Technology.
Democrat Bernie Sanders draws
big college audiences and gets good
marks from many students. But
his presidential bid remains a long
shot. Hillary Clinton could be the

first woman president, but young

women dont feel the pull of gender history. Marco Rubio promotes
himself as the leader of a new generation, but few are familiar with
him.
By one measure, just one in five
were politically engaged, according
to a recent survey by the Harvard
University Institute of Politics.

Few direct worries

They see no need to be so. Most
are confident theyll find jobs. They
dont have to worry about compulsory military service. They can stay
on their parents health care polices for several more years. The high
cost of college is a big concern, but
few see the government making
things easier.
Rarely do young people cite the
forces that seem to jar the rest of
the civilized world, such as recent
mass shootings or acts of terrorism.
Those seem too difficult to resolve.
On the three days of interviews, the
news was dominated by the mass
shootings in San Bernardino.
Virtually no one brought up the
incident.
Driving this disconnect, ironically, is their connectivity.
Protest rallies and marches, favorite tactics of their parents
generation, are yesterdays strategies. Organizing via social media,
where people almost spontaneously group and promote a cause but
rarely see or talk to one another, is
the new form of mass expression.
But its rarely directed at the political process.

They see prodding the government as futile.

Not much has really made a difference, said Evelyn Van Horn,
studying to be an auto body technician at the Central Pennsylvania
Institute.
They came of age viewing Washington as incapable and unwilling
to ease the sort of tensions that
could have consequences in their
lives. In their lifetime, government has been a relentless object
of scorn, if not ridicule.

Lack of respect

The only presidents theyve

known, Bill Clinton, George W.
Bush and Barack Obama, have all
been ongoing targets for not only
critics but comedians. To the young,
Washington is a leaden, bloated bureaucracy managed by confrontation-prone, self-absorbed lawmakers unwilling to bend.
Millennials follow the news on
tweets, Facebook and messages, or
read theSkimm.com, a quick summary of the days news. If a story
breaks, they go to their cellphones
and find whichever source seems
most up to date, but often the
events seem remote.
They also feel theres little they
can do, and the connected world
fuels that notion. Before they go
to sleep, they listen to the comedians. Mehallow recalled watching
Stephen Colberts Comedy Central
show with her father, as the comedian spoofed politicians nightly. It
made me more skeptical about government and politicians, she said.

NORWAY

Immigrants get a gentle lesson in women

ANDREW HIGGINS
NEW YORK TIMES

SANDNES, Norway
When he first arrived in
Europe, Abdu Osman
Kelifa, a Muslim asylum
seeker from the Horn of
Africa, was shocked to see
women in skimpy clothes
drinking alcohol and kissing in public. Back home,
he said, only prostitutes
do that.
Confused, Kelifa volunteered to take part in a
pioneering program that
seeks to prevent sexual
and other violence by
helping male immigrants
adapt to more open European societies.
Fearful of stigmatizing migrants as potential
rapists and playing into
the hands of anti-immigrant politicians, most
European countries have
avoided addressing the
question.
But, with more than
one million asylum seek-

ers arriving in Europe

this year, an increasing
number of politicians
and also some migrant
activists now favor offering coaching in European sexual norms and
social codes.
Kelifa, 33, attended the
education program at an
asylum center. The goal
is that participants will
at least know the difference between right
and wrong, said Nina
Machibya, the Sandnes
centers manager.
A course manual sets
out a simple rule that
all asylum seekers need
to learn and follow: To
force someone into sex is
not permitted in Norway,
even when you are married to that person.
Norways immigration
department mandated
that such programs be
offered nationwide and
hired a nonprofit foundation, Alternative to

Violence, to train refugee

center workers in how
to organize and conduct
classes on sexual and other forms of violence.
Many refugees come
from cultures that are not
gender equal and where
women are the property
of men, said Per Isdal,
a clinical psychologist
in Stavanger who works
with the foundation.
According to the state
broadcaster, NRK, which
reviewed court documents, only three of 20
men found guilty in a
spate of recent rape cases
were native Norwegians,
the rest immigrants.
Hanne Kristin Rohde,
a former head of the violent crime section of the
Oslo Police Department,
said she ran into a wall
of hostility when, in 2011
while still in the police
force, she blamed sexual
violence by foreign men
on cultural factors and

went public with data

suggesting that immigrants committed a hugely disproportionate number of rapes.
This was a big problem but it was difficult to
talk about it, Rohde said
recently, asserting that
there was a clear statistical connection between
sexual violence and male
migrants from countries
where women have no
value of their own.
Kelifa, the African asylum seeker, said he still
had a hard time accepting
that a wife could accuse
her husband of sexual assault.
Men have weaknesses
and when they see someone smiling, it is difficult
to control, Kelifa said,
explaining that in his
own country, Eritrea, if
someone wants a lady, he
can just take her and he
will not be punished, at
least not by the police.

ATTORNEY GENERAL

Kane now says she never reviewed her twins emails

CRAIG R. McCOY and
ANGELA COULOUMBIS
THE PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER

As complaints grow
about her sisters emails,
Pennsylvania Attorney
General Kathleen G.
Kane on Friday backpedaled in her defense
of her offices handling of
the messages.
In her second statement in three days, Kane
said she had never made
a judgment, good or bad,
about the emails of her
twin, Ellen Granahan, a
top prosecutor in her office.
Kane said others on her
staff evaluated her sisters messages because
state ethics laws barred
her from making disciplinary decisions about a

relative.
She disavowed comments Thursday by her
spokesman, Chuck Ardo,
who said Kane considered Granahans emails
less offensive than others made public in the
Porngate scandal.
Unlike more than 60
other staffers in the Attorney Generals Office,
Granahan was not disciplined in connection
with the emails.
Contrary to the impression created yesterday, I have never characterized or judged the
content of my sisters
emails, Kane said Friday.
Her tone was sharply
different from that of
her first statement, is-

sued Wednesday night

as the office released 57
emails sent or received
by Granahan on state
computers.
In that initial statement, Kane made no
mention of walling herself off from a review of
the emails. Instead, she
said the office had twice
reviewed the messages
and found nothing pornographic or otherwise
offensive.
Kane made her sisters messages public
Wednesday night after
she was challenged to
do so by Mark Gilson, a
prosecutor in the Philadelphia District Attorneys Office. She complained that Gilson was
spreading shameless

Dine in

OR Take Out

falsehoods about the

messages.
Ardo said Kane issued
her new statement Friday to clarify that she
had not seen the Granahan emails prior to their
being made public. He
said he was unaware until then that Kane had
not played a role in the
earlier review.

Email content
While
Granahans
emails contained no pornography, they included
suggestive photographs
of men and women, and
jokes that mocked minorities,
immigrants,
obese people, anorexics,
and domestic violence
victims.
After the messages
were released, the chancellor of the Philadelphia
Bar Association, Albert
S. Dandridge III, quickly
condemned them. He
called them disgusting and degrading and
faulted Kane for failing to release all emails
found on her offices
computer servers.
The people of Pennsylvania need to know
what the whole story is,
rather than getting dribs

Looks like
her sister
is part of
the (good
old boys)
network.

Ron Castille, former Pa.

Supreme Court justice

and drabs on a daily basis, Dandridge said.

And these dribs and
drabs look worse every
day.
Kane, who faces perjury conspiracy and
other charges and has
had her law license suspended, has blamed her
legal woes on Harrisburgs male-dominated
political establishment.
She said her enemies
had manufactured the
criminal case to punish
her for her campaign
against
pornographic
emails.
In an interview Friday, Ronald D. Castille,
a former chief justice

of the state Supreme

Court, said the Granahan emails undermined
Kanes mantra about
the good old boys network out to get her.
Said Castille: Looks
like her sister is part of
the network.
Last year, Castille, a
Republican, unsuccessfully pushed Kane, a
Democrat, to release all
emails involving the judiciary.
Kane did release the
emails of one justice,
Seamus P. McCaffery,
who retired from the
court last year after the
disclosure that he had
traded hundreds of pornographic images.
This fall, Kane made
public scores of emails
sent or received by another justice, J. Michael
Eakin. He is facing misconduct charges for
sending messages that
included pictures of naked women and offensive jokes that mocked
minorities and abused
women, among others.
Kanes initial email
disclosures last year embarrassed several top officials in the administration of Gov. Tom Corbett
and cost five men their
jobs.

Caryn Hunt, president

of the state chapter of
the National Organization for Women, has condemned the conduct of
the men who exchanged
offensive emails. On Friday, she criticized Granahans emails as well.
She called one message
a photograph of an African American toddler
bedecked in gold jewelry
and clutching a stack of
money disgusting ...
obviously racist.
Kane, in her statement Friday, said special prosecutor Douglas
F. Gansler, whom she
recently appointed to
examine emails found
on her computer servers, would examine her
sisters messages, along
with all others.
Hunt said that made
sense. She said Granahan is going to have to accept responsibility, just
like everyone else.
On Wednesday, Kane
said staffers in her office examined her twins
emails last year after
getting a request for information about them
under the states rightto-know law. The review
found nothing offensive,
she said.
But other people familiar with the offices
handling of the email
controversy said Granahans emails had not

ANALYSIS

ISIS fanboy crosses the line

ANDREW CONTE and
MIKE WERESCHAGIN

PITTSBURGH TRIBUNE-REVIEW

HARRISBURG Jalil
Ibn Ameer Aziz looked
online like thousands of
other keyboard jihadists,
repeating messages of
hatred while sitting safely at home and trying to
make themselves appear
to be on the frontlines of
the Islamic States battles in Syria.
Unemployed,
Aziz,
19, rarely left the threestory rental town house
that he shared here on
Fulton Street with his
parents, Ameer and
Sananeisha Aziz, less
than a mile north of the
Capitol, the FBI said. He
was arrested Thursday
on one count of conspiring to provide material
support and resources to
the Islamic State and one
count of attempting to
do the same and was arraigned in federal court
in Harrisburg.
He is being held in the
Dauphin County Prison
pending a detention
hearing Wednesday.
A message taped to the
front door of his home
Friday read: No comment No news! No trespassing.
No one answered the
door, and white venetian
blinds blocked views
into the house.

line aliases. He characterized Aziz as a usual

pro-ISIS fanboy.
Theres thousands of
accounts like this, Stalinsky said. Theyre just
regurgitating the material. ... Theyre not really producing content
and putting it out there.
Theyre just taking it.
When they see that ISIS
makes a new video or
they see that theres a
speech, or other content,
pictures, theyll just republish them.

Nothing unique
Few of the Islamic
States online supporters generate unique
content, according to
a recent study of online radicals by George
Washington Universitys
Project on Extremism.
A small group of people
create the propaganda,
while so-called amplifiers retweet the messages. Accolades from the
global echo chamber of
Islamic State sympathizers give otherwise isolated and disconnected
people a sense of belonging, experts explain.
The most significant
challenge were going

to face is exactly what

we saw in Harrisburg,
U.S. Sen. Bob Casey Jr.,
D-Scranton, said Friday. I believe this fight
will take a generation to
solve.
The challenges go beyond technology and
intelligence-gathering
techniques, and they
have to include recognizing and countering the
allure of radicalization,
said Casey, who serves as
a member of the Senates
National Security Working Group.
Some of the most important players in this
will be the parents and
friends of that individual
or individuals, Casey
said. That is going to be
a problem thats solved
mostly at a local level.
They dont need
speeches. They dont
need
finger-pointing.
They dont need categorical condemnation, the
senator said.
Though Aziz is just 19,
he had established himself so well among Islamic State supporters
that an operative along
the Turkey-Syria border
trusted him to pass his
cellphone number to recruits, the FBI says.

Robert P. Caruso, executive director of the state
Ethics Commission, said
the agency generally advises officials to avoid
making personnel deci-

sions involving relatives.

Ethics rules clearly state
that public officials may
not use their public positions to enrich themselves or family members, he said.
However, Caruso said,
the rules would not bar
an official from disciplining a relative.

Inspired by turn-of-the-century charm,

Social media
Using social media,
Aziz lived a life apart
from this quiet neighborhood, creating at
least 57 Twitter accounts
to share Islamic State
propaganda, such as images of executions, to
goad others into attacking American military
members and civilians
and to solicit monetary
support for the terrorist organization, the FBI
says.
Whenever
Twitter
shut down his accounts,
he established new ones
often using a variation of the name Colonel Shami, using a word
that refers to Syria, or
Islamic Analyst.
What made Aziz different, the FBI says, is that
he actually tried helping
someone join the Islamic State in Syria, and he
prepared a go bag filled
with high-powered ammunition and supplies.
There were online
posts going back two
years, and you saw how
Aziz became radicalized,
converted to Islam, said
Marcus Brown, Pennsylvanias director of
Homeland Security.
You saw how the posts
that he was putting online went from obviously
just complaining about
the country, complaining about government,
to much more serious
statements made by
him, where he was making threats against the
White House, where
he was making threats
against this country.
In that sense, however,
Aziz seemed like other
Westerners Americans, British, French,
Australians who sit
far from the action, attempting to portray
themselves as Islamic
State in Iraq and Syria
(ISIS) operatives, said
Steve Stalinsky, executive director of The Middle East Media Research
Institute, a Washington
nonprofit that tracks jihadist communications.
Analysts at the institute were familiar with
the Twitter handles that
the FBI has linked to
Aziz.
Mubin Shaikh, a selfprofessed former radical
who worked undercover
for Canadian domestic
intelligence
services,
said he had come across

Irma Ruth Barger

1920 2015

Irma Ruth Barg er

passed
away
on
December
11, 2015 in
Dallas, TX.
She is survived by her
four chil dren, Nancy
and her husband James
Weellendorf of Lancaster,
PA
A, Carol M. Barger and
her husband William D.
Elliott, Ellen and her
husband Robert Lewis
of Garrisonville, VA
A, and
Carol and Conrad A.
Barger, Jr. of Franklin,
TN
N, fiive grandchildren
and seven great grandchildren.
Irma enjoyed much of
what life off
ffeered during
her 95 years, some of
which included a long
and devoted marriage,
raising a familyy, traveling to and living in many
places in the U.S. and
around the world, before
she passed peacefully
into the grace of God.
She w as born in
Norfolk, VA on February
1, 1920, to Julius and
Maie Dennis. Irma fell in
love with a young Navy
man, Conrad A. Coach
Barger, and they were
married May 24, 1940.
Coachs 31-year naval
career meant he and
Irma lived in cities like
Key Wes
e t, FL, and then
as the children came
along and grew up, home
would be Sunnyvale, CA,
C o r p u s C h r i st i , T X ,
Richmond,
VA ,
Memphis,
T N,
Providence, RI, back to
Norfolk, on to Los
Angeles and Hayward,
CA, with stops in between, and duty stations
in
Okinawa
and
Trinidad. Even though
the demands of four
children with only six
years between them
kept Irma very busy, she
always loved the adventure of new places. And
when Coachs duty station was a ship at sea for

up to a year at a time,
Irma remained cheerful
and upbeat as she raised
her children and kept
their home.
When Coach retired,
he and Irma moved to
Ft. Wo
orth where they
lived for the next 30
years of their 59-year
marriage. Following his
death in 1999, Irma
moved to Nashville, TN
N,
to be near her son and
his wife. In 2013, Irma
moved to Dallas, to be
near her daughter Carol.
Irma was renowned
as a seamstress who also
loved to read, and she off-ten volunteered at the
local library. And she
was an avid gardener
who took great joy and
satisfaction in the resulting beauty of her
garden. She always had a
smile and kind word.
Irmas love off adventure and new places continued as she relished
some memorable trips
with her daughters to
New York
o Cityy, London,
Paris, and Trinidad.
Irma also held a special
place in her heart for
Journey s End, Carols
husbands ranch situated on the Red River near
Sherman, TX. Settling in
at the ranch for several
weeks at a stretch, Irma
would garden and enjoy
the quiet, beautyy, and
peace of nature.
Irma did not ask for
much, was grateful for
what she had, she never
made a fuss, and the
world and people around
her are better because of
her. She was one of the
sweetest ladies anyone
could ever have the privilege of knowing.
A private ceremony
will be held by the immediate familyy. No owers please. Condolences

Larry Alster Pulkrab

bek

Larry
Alster
Pulkrabek of Manheim
To w n s h i p
died
in
Lancaster
on Thursday, December 17
7, at the
age of 76. He
was born on September
18, 1939, in Freeport,
Illinois to George and
Helen Pulkrabek.
Mr. Pulkrabek studied economics at Beloit
Colleg e, earning his
Bachelor of Arts degree
in 1961. He received his
juris doctorate from the
University of Michigan
Law School in 1964.
Mr. Pulkrabek began
his legal career as an associate at torney at
Stroud, Stebbins &
Stroud in Madison,
Wisconsin. From 1965 to
1968, he served as the director of legal affairs at
Keko Industries, Inc., in
Cincinnati, Ohio.
In Cincinnati, Mr.
Pulkrabek met a young
speech therapist, Mary
K athryn
(K a ye)
Baughman, who was to
be his best friend and
lifes companion. The
couple married in
Waarren, Ohio on Augus
u t
17
7, 1968.
Also in August 1968,
Mr. Pulkrabek accepted
a staff attorney position
with the legal department of Armstrong, Inc.,
later Armstrong World
o
Industries, Inc. He became the general manager of Armstrong s legal
department in 1973. In
1977
7, at the youthful age
of 37, Mr. Pulkrabek was
p r o m ot e d t o t h e p o s i tion of Vice President,
Secretary, and General
Counsel. As the company s chief legal officer, he
helped lead Armstrong s
global expansion to 24
domestic plants and 25
overseas.
Between 1988 and
1990, Mr. Pulkrabek defended
Arms trong
against a hostile takeover bid by corporate
raiders and greenmail-

ers who threatened to

dismantle the company.
His work contributed to
Pennsylvanias adoption
of the toughest antitakeover legislation in
the United States, and
Armstrong successfully
repelled the barbarians
at its gates.
Mr. Pulkrabek retired
from Armstrong in 1997
7,
although the company
ser
continued to use his services as a consultant for
many years. In his retirement, he applied his
time, legal training, and
business experience to
assisting local nonprot
and political organizations.
Mr. Pulkrabek had a
particular fondness for
country backroads and
scenic byways. Though
seldom lost, his epic
drives in, out, around,
and across Lancaster
County often made him
tardy for supper.
Ever slow to anger
and quick to forgive, Mr.
Pulkrabek was a devoted
spouse, loving father,
and adoring Gada to
his granddaughters .
Surviving him are his
wife, Kaye; his son, Ross
Pulkrabek; his daughter,
Loring Krall; his grand
grandchildren; his sis ter,

KURT MASUR

Conductor who led N.Y. Philharmonic

BERLIN (AP) Kurt
Masur was a conductor
who knew how to use his
authority.
He used it to tame orchestras notably the
unruly New York Philharmonic, which he led
for 11 years and to historic effect in his native
land, when his call for
calm helped prevent violence during tense 1989
pro-democracy protests
in East Germany.
Masur died Saturday
at age 88 in a hospital in
Greenwich, Connecticut, from complications
from Parkinsons disease, the New York Philharmonic said, issuing

a statement praising his

profound belief in music.
His move to ward off
violence in East Germany was, Masur later
acknowledged, a belated
move in a country that
many artists had long
turned their backs on but
in which he held a position of rare international
renown as the director
of Leipzigs storied Gewandhaus
Orchestra,
where his predecessors
included Felix Mendelssohn.
I was busy with music for too long, Masur
recalled in an interview
last year with the Ger-

man weekly Der Spiegel. But when I learned

that all of a sudden street
musicians were being
arrested for wanting to
protest peacefully, I realized that change was
overdue.
By 1989, Leipzig had
become the focal point
for the demonstrations
that would culminate in
the opening of the Berlin
Wall and the end of communist rule.
As tensions rose on
Oct. 9 and with the
bloody
Tiananmen
Square crackdown in
China still fresh on peoples minds Masur and
five others a satirist,

How a Fathers Love Revolutionized the Hearing Aid Industry

  

  

  
  
  

a cleric and three party

officials issued a public statement calling for
calm and promising dialogue.
With security forces
massing in the streets
and young people saying
goodbye to their families as if heading to war, a
recording read by Masur was broadcast on
speakers throughout the
city. Without it, he later
said blood would have
flowed.
A month later, the embattled East German authorities gave in to popular pressure and opened
the countrys border
with the West.

Let Janey Jackson use her 30+ years of nursing

and admissions experience to help provide answers
for your loved ones needs.

MUSIC

Jacksons Thriller passes 30 million mark

RANDY LEWIS

LOS ANGELES TIMES

Adeles third album,

25, is on fire commercially, but it still has a
long way to go to catch
the biggest selling album of all time: Michael
Jacksons
Thriller.
That record has crossed
a milestone no other album has ever achieved,
surpassing U.S. sales of
30 million copies.
The 1982 multiple
Grammy
Award-winning album has been certified at the 30-million
mark by the Recording
Industry Association Of
America, which monitors shipments in the
U.S. by record companies. Its worldwide total
has exceeded 100 million, according to Jacksons label, Epic Records.
RIAA has awarded gold
and platinum records on
behalf of the music business for nearly 60 years,
but this is the first time
an artist has crossed the
30X multi-platinum plateau, RIAA Chief Executive Cary Sherman said
in a statement. What
an exceptional achievement and testament to

Thrillers enduring spot

in our hearts and musical
history.

Grammy Awards
Thriller was nominated for 12 Grammy
Awards in 1983, and
took home seven. It also
became the first album
to cross the 20 million
mark, just under two
years after its release on
Nov. 30, 1982.
Not only are his charts
hits and sales stats staggering, but his pure
musicality was otherworldly, Epic Records
Chairman L.A. Reid said
in the same statement.
Thriller was groundbreaking and electrifying it was perfection.
The videos for several
hits from Thriller also
became cultural groundbreakers in the MTV era,
helping break the color
barrier for which the
cable network had been
criticized early on.
Additionally, the watershed Thriller video
remains the only music
video ever inducted into
the Library of Congress
National Film Registry.

neck-and-neck

AMY DICKINSON
ASK AMY

Mom looks for

ways to bring kids,
grandparents closer
DEAR AMY: I am having trouble
feeling like Im part of my husbands family. I was very close to
his mother, who passed away five
years ago.
My husbands father and stepmother are not as open as my
mother-in-law was. We are never
invited to their home.
I feel awkward asking them if we
can come over because the whole
visit they just watch television and
no one really talks, making me feel
like we are intruding.
My husbands stepmother has
often lamented that my two small
children dont really know them,
but when we visit my in-laws
barely pay the kids any attention.
The television is often blaring,
which scares the baby and he ends
up crying the whole time. (I have
told them hes not used to the loud
noise, but the television stays at the

Births

same volume.)
We have a very small house, but
when I have invited them over they
commented on the length of the
drive (we live 20 miles away) and
didnt stay very long.
When we visit my parents, the
whole visit is spent talking, playing
with the kids, etc.
Ive expressed these concerns
multiple times to my husband. He
doesnt really like it either, but he
wont put any effort into furthering the relationship. It bothers me
that my kids barely know their
family members. Is there anything
I can do? Wondering
DEAR WONDERING: I give you a
lot of credit for being concerned about
this relationship and making the effort
to try to improve it.
You dont seem to have ever asked
your in-laws, Do you mind if we
turn off the TV while were here? We
wont stay long; its pretty loud for the
baby.
You say you dont get invited, but if
you did find yourself in their home it
might be a good idea to bring a puzzle
that the kids and adults can work on
together. Puzzle-building is cooperative and often easier for people
who dont know how to interact with
children.
In addition to inviting your in-laws
to your own home, you should ask
them to attend any events outside the
home in which the children might be
involved. Meeting on neutral ground

SUNDAY, DECEMBER 20, 2015

might be easier for everyone.

Ultimately you cannot make a
relationship happen if these grandparents dont participate. If they are
able-bodied and want to be closer to
the grandkids, they should make the
effort.
DEAR AMY: I have noticed a
thread in your column regarding
adult children who borrow from
their parents and dont repay their
debts. I had this situation with one
child and wanted to handle it and
also wanted to be fair to all my
children.
I decided to give each child a large
cash Christmas present slightly
larger than the largest debt, and I
subtracted each childs debt from
the gift.
Everybody got something, and
we were all even. It was the best
money I ever spent. Its Better to
Give than to Collect
DEAR COLLECT: This is a kind and
generous gesture on your part. I agree
that this is one way to retire all debts
and start the new year with a fresh
slate.
However, many families cannot afford to generously give their children
money in the form of a loan, which
isnt really a loan. Forgiving these
debts could be good for your relationships in the short term, but, depending on the recipient, it might impede
their financial competency. I certainly
hope that you keep the slate clean by

B3

not lending money to your children.

I think its better to simply give a gift
at the outset if you know the money
wont be repaid (or if you dont care
one way or the other).
DEAR AMY: MIL Who Doesnt
Want Trouble wrote in about a
silly sort of housekeeping issue
at her son and daughter-in-laws
house. When the MIL asked her
daughter-in-law for a towel, the
DIL responded, Thats what pants
are for!
Your suggestion for her to give
the couple guest towels as a gift
was a decent one, but you also
suggested that all communication should happen between the
mother-in-law and the daughterin-law.
Shouldnt she just speak to her
son about this? Or are you assuming (along with the MIL) that the
daughter-in-law basically runs
the household? Involved House
Husband
DEAR HOUSE HUSBAND: Several
readers made this observation, and I
agree with you the blanket assumption that the woman in a household
is somehow responsible for towels is
outdated. Thank you for pointing this
out.

Plan ahead for hosting overnight guests

A few simple tips will help make your visitors feel comfortable

Entertaining company can be full of the

unexpected. Your niece

Scented laundry detergent irritates your

when? You can minimize stress and make
your holiday guests
feel more at home with
some simple planning.
Before donning the
holiday host hat, use
this checklist to get your
house in tiptop shape.
Clean the house
If you dont have time
for a deep clean, focus
on the areas visitors
will see and use. If no
one has used the guest
room since last year,
theres a chance a thick
layer of dust has settled
on surfaces.
Light it up
Check for burnt out
bulbs, especially on the
homes exterior. Consider some night-lights
or touch-lights in the
hallway. Sure, you can
navigate your home in
total darkness, but your
guests cant.
Make it welcoming
Throw out the welcome mat. Place a coatrack near the door or
make sure theres room
in a nearby closet.

Leave
towels in
plain sight
for your
guests.

Does the bedding need
to be spruced? Alarm

freshen them up quickly

Put extra blankets at

KEEPING IT FRESH
An Evening with Todd Rundgren: some familiar tunes, but always mixing things up
JENELLE JANCI

JJANCI@LNPNEWS.COM

Todd Rundgrens latest musical endeavors

have been vastly different from his 1970s hits
I Saw The Light and Hello Its Me.
Rundgren collaborated with Norwegian
producers Emil Nikolaisen and Hans-Peter
Lindstrm on Mays Runddans, a technoinfused dramatic journey. Global, the artists 25th studio album, was released in April
and is powered by electronic dance beats.
After such bold releases, Rundgren will
bring things back to basics for his latest tour,
An Evening With Todd Rundgren. Rundgren will perform at Harrisburgs Whitaker Center for the Science and the Arts on
Wednesday.
This is essentially meant to mollify the
fans who have put up with my more extravagant and daring presentations recently, says
Rundgren, who was born in Upper Darby
Township, Delaware County. Every once
in a while, I guess, I have to go back and perform the songs that everyone is a little more
familiar with just so I can convince them to
go along on some of the more adventurous
kinds of things that I like to do, which I have
been doing a lot of lately.
He wont be bored, though. He may be playing older songs, but Rundgren likes to switch
up his setlist from night to night to keep the
show fresh.
There are songs in the set that are king of
lynchpins and that I enjoy doing, Rundgren
says. The thing is, this is not the kind of show
where we do the same set every night as opposed to some of the other shows. For me,
what keeps it interesting is kind of mixing it
up from night to night and doing different
songs.
Rundgren is also a member of Ringo Starrs
All-Starr band, so he says his rigorous touring schedule is taking precedence over his
production work at the moment.
In addition to his own music, Rundgren is

known for his production and engineering

work for artists like Hall & Oates, the New
York Dolls, the Band, Grand Funk Railroad
and Meat Loaf. Hes currently working with
Philadelphias The Roots on a project without a deadline.
Im pretty much in charge of driving the
project from this point on because they have
a lot of stuff on their plate, Rundgren says.
The Roots are the house band for The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. We got
a pretty good start on it. We got maybe four
songs done.
As for other artists hed like to work with,
Rundgren says hed rather be approached
than seek individuals out.
Ive had opportunity over the years to be
involved with projects and artists that I have
a lot of admiration and interest in, Rundgren says. He famously almost worked with
Janis Joplin on what would become her final
album, Pearl.
Sometimes they just dont work out because of scheduling, because of other issues
that may not have anything to do with music per say, Rundgren says. But Ive always
found it dangerous to want to inject yourself
into someone elses career. If they dont have
an interest in having you work with them,
then you can be at a pretty big disadvantage
sometimes when critical decisions have to
be madeThey have to want my input more
than I want to give it to them, maybe.

Politics: Returning soon to

A new year 2016!
beckons, full of promise,
fresh starts and, God
help us, a presidential
election.
Get ready for that
weird mix of politics,
infotainment and commercials that it takes
to run for the title of
president of the United
States. And lets not
forget the movies, which
have thrived on the
machinations of those
aspiring to become the
leader of the free world.
Political slogans have
been with us since the
early days of presidential campaigning
(Tippecanoe and Tyler,
too, anyone?), but
sometime in the 20th
century, pop culture
and politics started to
collide.
It started on the radio,
when what is probably the most famous
political song in history,
Happy Days Are Here
Again, blared out over
the airwaves to rouse
support for Democrat
Franklin Delano Roosevelt. The song had
actually been written for
a 1929 stage musical, but
never mind; FDR took it
and made it his anthem.

The next notable

example probably was
when Frank Sinatra
Happy 100th birthday
anniversary, Old Blue
Eyes! reworked his hit
song High Hopes for
Democrat John F. Kennedy in 1960 (Everyone
wants to back Jack.
Jack is on the right
track).
In between, Hollywood made its contributions. Jimmy Stewart
wasnt running for
president in 1939s Mr.
Smith Goes to Washington, but his character,
the nave Sen. Jefferson
Smith, should have been.
Hes so decent that hes
almost too good to be
true. The movie actually
scandalized Washington society when it was
screened there. Political
bigwigs protested that
it said there was voter
manipulation and corruption in Congress. The
very idea!
Spencer Tracy and
Katharine Hepburn
teamed up in 1948 for
State of the Union,
which came hard on
the heels of the Harry
Truman presidential
campaign.

Why entire families are

singing Adeles praises
SASHA FRERE-JONES
LOS ANGELES TIMES

What should we think when an

artist can make people buy almost 5 million copies of an album
in two weeks? Or when nearly
half of all music sales in one week
are down to one person?
The sales of Adeles 25, as
reported by Nielsen Music, are
leaving the realm of commercial
figures and nearing the dimensions of a natural disaster, an
event that unfolds in increasingly implausible numbers. You just
stop trying to predict the next
moment.
Its not that these events are unheard of, or that anyone doubted
Adele could create her own commercial weather system, but this
spike brings on more than a double-take.
No one idea explains the perfect storm. We know Adeles good
with the singing; we know shes
only 19 months older than Taylor Swift but somehow sounds
19 years older. And we know that
people like the human they imagine behind the music. I am one
of those people. Her recent TV
appearances were a
miracle of charm
titration, ad-

mitting to Graham Norton that

she drunk-tweeted herself out of
access to her own account, surprising Adele imitators by joining
their ranks, and then swinging
by Jimmy Fallon to sing Hello
with the Roots backing her on toy
instruments.
The idea that keeping the album
off Spotify drove this physical
sales surge doesnt entirely scan.
The entire album 25 may
not be available on the streaming
service, but its first hit, Hello, is
and, more to the point, the single
premiered on the bigger streaming platform, YouTube, as a narrative video.

A welcoming Hello
Not much time has passed since
the release of 25, and few people who are not hard-core Adele
fans or music critics know 25 as
well as they know Hello. (Just
Google Hello cover and see
how many people have recorded their versions of the
song, including a very loud
marching band.) In these
record-setting weeks, the
people buying 25 were
buying something that
might as well have been
called Hello and 10 Others. This is

a common way that albums become megahits. Nevermind

was just Smells Like Teen Spirit
and More Loud Songs to the millions who would never have otherwise bought a record by a band
steeped in obscure, abrasive music.
I watched the Hello video like
everyone else: the moment it was
released, repeatedly. The song,
written by Adele and Greg Kurstin, is a marvel of pacing. The four
piano chords that anchor the
verses, and which are the only
accompaniment for the opening minute, move from F minor
to C sharp. They are articulated
in pairs that ring close to each
other, separated by a pause, creating the sense that you can start
anywhere in the cycle, and that
any pair of chords might be the
first in the series. Its a song with
a cannon of a chorus, but with no
buildup before it goes off. You
simply ride around in
circles with Adele
until she realizes
what she wants
to emphasize:
HELLO FROM
THE
OUTSIDE,
YOU
PERSON,
YOU.

Adele: Musicians popularity is really no mystery

Continued from B4

cant be undersold. The narrative is as wacky as Adeles voice

is comforting. Everyone noticed
the anachronistic flip phone borrowed from The Wire what
about the abandoned house? Director Xavier Dolan opens with a
full minute of Adele rediscovering an unidentified home, flinging aside the white furniture
covers that exist only in movies
and videos. (In the ugly, nonHello world, houses tend to
change hands pretty quickly.)
And then shes outside! In the
only phone booth on the moors!
We are being sold high melodrama on the wings of a bonkers
perfume commercial. The loopy
edges of the video allow us to believe in the passion of a broken,
unresolved romance without
feeling overburdened by intensity because, well, look at that
coat. Ooh, that is a nice coat, now
seen almost 600 million times.
See? The numbers just sound
made-up.
There is her voice, which Im
not immune to, but I belong in
a splinter faction of Adele fans. I
love the breath-control knuckle
ball in Hello, when she takes

in air quickly between Im and

sorry in the chorus, multitasking her singing and storytelling.
The pause creates a side narrative, where Adele isnt really
sorry about anything and just
wishes she would get a call back.
(The big notes are not used for
the word sorry, notice.)
When the video has run its
course, though, I dont return. I
tend toward things that pivot on
a magnetic, unresolved question
that bears repeated asking but
is impossible to answer. Adeles
music might be too complete or
too balanced. I want to be baffled, and Adele does not baffle.
She does what I expect her to do,
and even when it impresses me, I
dont reach out and grab it to see
what its made of.

No mystery here
So what does Adeles combination of virtuosity and rootedness
provide?
It helps to think of what people
are up to when they are not buying Adele CDs. Compared with
other forms that provide consensus experiences television,
video games, movies recorded

music is a modest slice, almost a

niche form inside of popular entertainment.
While playing and writing about
music for 30 years, Ive seen a
certain pattern repeat across age
and race and location and gender.
People discover music as tweens,
remain curious listeners through
college, and then the floor falls
out. The labor of labor kicks in,
children sometimes appear, and
the music library doesnt budge.
The old favorites work. In most
cities, radio can provide a halfhour of something youve never
heard, and that is enough for
many. Movies will be attended,
news will be read, television
shows yelled at; and then back we
go to Songs in the Key of Life,
The Hot Rock, Aquemini.
The affinity gap between a
person and the stream of popular music can appear incredibly quickly. A 25-year-old factchecker approached me a few
years ago, holding a sheaf of documents, and said quietly, Sorry,
I did my best. I dont really know
who Beyonce is.
Pop music is a youth-obsessed
art form and youth-generated.
We are not yet seeing 19-year-

olds directing Marvel widgets,

but they turn up often on the pop
charts. And if there is a medium
more youth-obsessed than pop,
its the Internet. The combination of the two exacerbates that
post-collegiate drop-off rate. A
22-year-old who was almost feeling entirely up to date can open
up Twitter, not know what dabbing or Slime Season 2 is, and
suddenly feel like the entire Internet is cackling and screaming
What are thoooose?
Adele isnt just reassuring to
older people; she reassures people who are feeling older younger.
People want that lack of mystery
to reassure them that nothing
new and meme-tastic is going to
rear up and make them feel out
of it yet again. Maybe thats what
that dumb flip phone was doing
in there.
So the people going to Target in actual cars to pick up an
actual CD are likely not people
who dont actually like music
a phrase that condescends to
people who happen to love 10
albums rather than 10,000 but
for people who just dont need
that much music in their lives.
She had them at Hello.

People
discover
music as
tweens,
remain
curious
listeners
through
college, and
then the floor
falls out.

Unscripted: When politics meets entertainment

Continued from B4

In the postwar years,

cynicism had taken
root in the American
political mind. Angela Lansbury, who
would go on to play the
beloved crime-solver
in the TV series Murder, She Wrote, plays
a shrewd Washington
manipulator in The
Manchurian Candidate. Angela Lansbury!
Celebrities aside,
TV had become a
full-fledged force by
the 1960s. The most
infamous example of
the political use of TV
starred a little girl in
an ad for Democrat
Lyndon Johnson, who
was running against ultraconservative Republican Barry Goldwater.

go too far in those tense

Cold War times with
the notorious Daisy
ad.
It featured an angelic
child plucking petals from a flower and
counting them, out

of sequence, until the

camera zooms into her
adorable eyes and the
atomic bomb goes off.
The spot was considered so shocking that it
aired only once.
Indeed, paranoia

ruled the Hollywood

political landscape in
the early 1960s, with
movies such as Advise and Consent.
Even better was 1964s
Seven Days in May,
in which the American
public is almost deluded into supporting a
military coup, backing
a supposed strongman
played by Burt Lancaster. Thank goodness Kirk Douglas was
there to keep an eye on
things.
In the 1990s, movies such as Dave and
The American Presi-

dent sounded a cautionary note about how

the minds of voters can
be toyed with, delivering the message on a
lighter, more romantic
note. Both were box
office hits.
So where will all of
these media collide, as
we face a new election?
Will we see television using Hollywood
tactics to sell everyone
from Hillary Clinton to
Donald Trump to Ted
Cruz to Bernie Sanders? Probably so. After
all, Republican Ronald
Reagan did quite well

with his Morning in

America ad in the
1980s. And lets not
forget that Democratic
candidate Bill Clinton played his sax on
the The Arsenio Hall
Show.
Today, we also have
everything going viral
on the Internet. So
infotainmentwise, 2016
should be an interesting political year.

Sisters features cant-miss stars in can-miss movie

RICHARD ROEPER
CHICAGO SUN-TIMES

Starting with Chicagos

ImprovOlympic in the
early 1990s and continuing through Saturday
Night Live and films and
even hosting the Golden Globes with terrific
style, Tina Fey and Amy
Poehler have been arguably the funniest, smartest, most-entertaining
comedic duo of the last
quarter-century. Not to
mention their stellar individual achievements,
most notably Feys 30
Rock and Poehlers
Parks and Recreation.
Year after year, as
solo talents and a team,
theyve been knocking it
out of the park. I think
theyre great, and Ill bet
you do as well.
So its with no small
reluctance I report Sisters is a depressing,
overlong, repetitive slapstick disaster in which
two of the most-appealing stars around wallow
in the muck AND the
mire, figuratively and
literally.
Given the screenplay
is by longtime Saturday
Night Live scribe Paula
Pell and the director is
Jason Moore (Pitch
Perfect), its genuinely
surprising that Sisters
reaches for such lowhanging fruit.
If your idea of cutting-edge humor is a
drugged-out, 40-something class clown doing
artwork with his genitals, a pratfall that results in a musical ballerina figurine jammed up

Maura will let her freak

The sisters round up

Gee, what a fun bunch.

his easy charm to the

part of James, a nice guy

from down the street
who becomes a romantic interest for Maura.
(The scene in which
Maura and Kate meet
James as hes landscaping in his front yard and
they flirt with him is so
tone-dead, and the sisters come off as so obnoxious, its a wonder
this guy shows up for
their party.)

Poehler and Fey seem
to be having fun sexing

performing dance numbers and flaunting their
attractiveness
more
than is their usual practice. Even though they
look nothing like sisters, theyre believable

This has more to do with how than
what youre gathering, ingesting

departure board at Hartsfield-Jackson Airport in
Atlanta. Caregivers face an assortment of challenges
when traveling with a companion who is frail or has
dementia.

Tips for traveling

with elderly,
frail relatives
ALEJANDRA CANCINO
ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHICAGO Nancy Powers had to adjust her

travel routine when her best friend and travel
partner, Phyllis Wesley, was diagnosed with a degenerative brain condition affecting her speech
and comprehension.
Juggling bags and leaving her 61-year-old friend
alone even for a second became too worrisome.
Packing too much into a day became problematic.
Ive had to learn how to pace her and how to
pace myself, said Powers, 63, of Montgomery,
Alabama.
Caregivers face an assortment of challenges
when traveling with a frail relative, friend or someone with dementia. Packing medications, getting
to and from the airport, and managing schedules
and family activities all can be difficult.
Every person reacts differently to stress, and its
impossible to suggest one-size-fits-all tips.
In general, experts suggest scheduling a doctor
visit before the trip and emphasize patience and
planning as key elements of traveling. Caregivers
say carrying snacks, trying to maintain a routine,
and carrying music and games are also all helpful
when traveling.

Keep the routine

Sheri Yarbrough, 54, said her 88-year-old mother, Muriel Yarbrough, has dementia and wants to
eat every two hours or so. If she doesnt eat, Yarborough said her mother gets quiet and upset.
Shes always been a grazer, Sheri Yarbrough
said, adding, Its easier to intervene than to make
the behavior stop.
Experts say its important to try to keep to the dementia patients routine. So on a recent trip from
their home in Chicago to California, Sheri Yarborough packed instant oatmeal, milk in 3-ounce
containers and a large cup to mix the two. She also
brought along frozen yogurt to help keep the milk
cold and turkey-and-cheese roll-ups.
Most experts suggest nonstop flights when traveling with someone with dementia, but Sheri Yarbrough knows that her mother cant sit for more
than 2 1-w hours. So she made sure there was a stop
in Denver, where they were able to walk around
the terminal, greeting children and adults alike.

Stay close by
John Schall, chief executive of Caregiver Action Network, suggests that caregivers stay physically close to a person with dementia. If grandpa
is grabbing your arm for support, let him take it,
Schall said. Hell be less likely to become confused
and agitated.
It also helps to pack puzzles for entertainment
and familiar objects, such as a blanket, that you
can point to in order to remind him that hes safe.
There are always going to be circumstances,
glitches and meltdowns, and that will pass, Schall
said. Roll with the roller coaster. It will not last
long.
If your loved one is getting increasingly anxious,
and you feel your anxiety rising, experts suggest
focusing on breathing. Try talking slowly and
calmly as you look for a quiet place or a chair.
Dont feed into the stress, said Lauren Dowden,
a social worker at Northwestern Medicines Cognitive Neurology and Alzheimers Disease Center.

Acting as wingman
Cheryl Levin Folio and her husband, Michael,
who has early-onset Alzheimers disease, travel
often from Highland Park, Illinois, to their second
home in Florida and to visit family.
She has a chalkboard in both homes, where she
writes the date, the day of the week and the itinerary for the day. And both homes have similar photographs, to help him acclimate.
At the airport, Levin Folio, 55, said she makes
sure to hold her husbands identification card,

Getting picky

DR. PIA FENIMORE

ASK THE EXPERT

Question: Dr. Fenimore, why is it bad

to pick and eat my
boogies? I know for a
FACT that they are not
poisonous.
Before I answer this question, I have to set the scene:
This question came from
one of my patients at his
age 5 well checkup. This
child is 100 percent serious about this question,
and his body language is
letting me know that we
are not proceeding until
I give him a satisfactory
answer. His mother is horrified and telling him to be
quiet, and I am trying not
to laugh.
But a question is a question, and its actually a
pretty interesting one. Just
another example of why I
have the best job ever.
Answer: Bertie Botts
Beans, the notorious jelly
beans of Harry Potters
world, have a boogey-flavored bean (or bogey,
as they say in the U.K.). It
is a chewy combination
of sweet and salty, not unlike all the various salted
caramel treats that are
wildly popular right now.
It is not an outlandish
statement to say that jelly
bean is enjoyable.
If you reassure children they wont get in
trouble, many will confess that their boogies

Why isnt eating your

boogies OK?
Well, its the way that you
harvest them that is the
problem.
actually taste pretty
good. And many kids just
cant resist them.
Boogies are dried-up
mucous made of salt,
trapped germs, dead skin
cells, dead white blood
cells, glycoproteins and
water, produced by glands
in your nose. The air that
you breathe in allows
them to dry up and form
balls. To most of us, this is
not the recipe for a savory
delicacy. But my patient is
right, there is nothing poisonous about it.
Just like apples at a
farmers market, boogies
come in all shapes, sizes
and colors. Contrary to
some beliefs, the color
of your mucous does not
indicate much about the
health of your body. Boogies can be pale yellow,
dark yellow, green or even
red-tinged. These all are
OK. I am not experienced
enough, however, to com-

ment on whether the color affects their taste.

If you believe in the
we are too clean theory as to why there is
more allergic disease
these days, you may actually be doing your immune system a favor
when you ingest boogers.
This small, constant inoculation of the gut with
germs may produce the
right types of immune
reactions and prevent
the wrong ones.
But this theory is a
little bit weak if you
consider that we are all
actually constantly swallowing our own mucous
since the nose connects
to the mouth. So I cant
say that I recommend
ingesting your own boogies, but there may be a
little benefit to it.
So, why isnt eating
your boogies OK? Well,
its the way that you

Picking the nose is the

No. 1 cause of nosebleeds
in children.
The small capillaries
that lie at the surface of
your nostrils do not do
well when they are disturbed by a fingernail.
They become swollen
and inflamed, and then
any bump or rub to the
nose will cause bleeding.
And there are lots of
germs under your fingernails that do not belong
in your nose, and these
can lead to a skin infection such as impetigo.
Another problem is
that when you pick your
nose, you place all the
bacteria and viruses that
may be living in your
nose onto your fingers.
Then you use those fingers to touch your surroundings or even other
people. All this touching
spreads germs from one
person to another and
may make people sick.
So that is why you are not
allowed to pick your nose.
BUT if you are going to
I can tell that you are
please be gentle and wash
your hands afterward!
As we boogie on into
2016, I hope your New Year
snot filled with sadness, but
only with joy. I hope your
children are healthy and
you get to spend a lot of
time with phlegm!

What to do with a sick child on Christmas

DAVID BRUCE
ERIE TIMES-NEWS

Its a common Christmas nightmare for parents everywhere: Little

Johnny or Suzie wakes
up in the middle of the
night Christmas Eve
with an upset stomach,
earache or sore throat.
Dealing with a sick
child is never pleasant, but having one for
the holidays can toss a
monkey wrench into the
Christmas schedule.
When is a child sick
enough for a family to postpone dinner
at Grandmas house, going to church and other
Christmas Day plans?
If the child has the
sniffles or a slight, nonproductive cough, its
OK to go out, said Dr. E.
Stella Dogun, a pediatrician. Other symptoms,
such as a high fever, bad
cough, vomiting, diarrhea, extreme fatigue,
sore throat or shortness
of breath, they should
stay home and get plenty
of rest. They should also
get checked by a doctor.
Keeping a sick child
home on Christmas is a
difficult decision but the
right choice for several
reasons, Dogun said.
One is that children are
more likely to get the rest
they need to heal if they
are in their own beds and
not traveling around.
You also arent taking the sick child places
where they can infect

others, Dogun said. December is such a busy

season for coughs, colds
and flu. As the weather
cools down, these illnesses heat up. People
tend to gather together
in close quarters, making
it easier to spread these

viral illnesses.
Though there is no
foolproof way to keep
your children healthy
over the holidays, Dogun
said there are steps parents can take to decrease
the chances of having
a bed-bound child on

Christmas Day:

n Get a flu shot. Flu

season often arrives around

the holidays, and the flu
vaccine remains the best
way to avoid the flu, Dogun
said.

In the spirit
of simplicity

ALYSSA WILLIAMS
THE PRESS TABLE

Pierogies, just like my

Mammam used to make

or my family, pierogies are a must

on Christmas Eve.
When she was alive, my Slovak
grandmother, Mammam, would make
platters of the Eastern European potato
dumplings. After she died, I searched her
recipes, but pierogies were nowhere to be
found.
My mother had a simple answer: Mammam didn't use a recipe. Mammam just
knew.
Reaching into her own well-worn recipe
collection, my mother pulled out a piece
of my father's old letterhead on which she
had jotted down a few paragraphs when
she helped my Mammam make pierogies
years ago.
Pierogies
Makes about 7 dozen
The filling
n 7 pounds Idaho or russet potatoes
n 1 pounds American cheese, shredded
n Salt
Peel, chop and boil the potatoes in salted
water until soft or a fork easily pierces them.
(Approximately 10 minutes after the water
starts to boil, they should be done.) Drain the
water from the potatoes.
Add shredded cheese to potatoes while
they are hot. Use a hand-masher if you want
to channel the old country, or mix them in
batches in a stand mixer until smooth. Let the
filling cool.

Pierogies can take a long time to make but

they quickly disappear.
The dough
n 8 cups flour
n 1 teaspoon salt
n 3 eggs
n cup sour cream
n 1 cups warm water, more or less (add
a little at a time until the dough comes
together)
When it's time to fry
n Butter
n Oil
n Diced onion
This is when the fun really begins. Knead the
dough. It starts out a little dry and crumbly.
As you add water, it will come together with
some effort. Let your dough rest for at least
half an hour in a large bowl, covering the bowl
with a towel or cling wrap.
Once the dough has rested and your filling is
cool, it's time to roll out the dough. I cut small
pieces from the dough and roll each one out
to about an eighth of an inch thickness. My
Mammam always used a glass, about 3 inches
in diameter, to cut her circles. If you have a
biscuit cutter, that will work, too.
Before adding filling, pick up each rolled
circle of dough and lightly stretch it out
with your fingers. Put it down, then place
about a tablespoon and a half of filling
in the center of the circle. Fold over the
dough, and pinch it closed to form a half
moon. To avoid the seals breaking when
you boil the pierogies, be careful there isn't
any air trapped inside.
Bring a pot of water to boil. Boil the pierogies
in batches, until they float to the surface. Then
drain.
Next, heat 3 tablespoons butter and 3
tablespoons oil in a frying pan, adding onions.
Fry pierogies until golden brown on both
sides, adding more butter and oil whenever
the pan starts to dry.
Serve hot, with sour cream.

Pierogies are time-consuming to

make, it's true. Though they easily take
an entire afternoon to make, they likely
will disappear in the blink of an eye. The
resulting feast, however, is well worth the
effort.

ince the time my kids first

could hold crayons, Ive
been helping them make
the gifts they give their loved ones
on Christmas morning.
My hope is that, amid all the
material trappings of the holiday,
an ornament made from a shell
they collected on the beach or a
colorful, hand-painted picture
frame might provide them with a
true sense of giving.
Its likely youve never considered candy wrappers as a gift. Well,
I hadnt either until last year.
To fully explain this, I must
travel back to a summer spent in
Tent 17 at Alford Lake Camp in
Hope, Maine. Along with learning the essential camp skills of
pitching tents and building fires,
I became well-versed in less
essential but really fun skills,
such as playing jacks and shortsheeting beds.
That summer, one new friend,
Elliott, taught me some curious trivia, some of which I still
remember.
Do you know, for example, that
a sniglet is a made-up word for
something that doesnt have an
official word to describe it? And

if you eat a Tootsie Pop and its

wrapper includes a Native American shooting an arrow at a star,
it is very good luck. As a lifelong
fan of chocolate Tootsie Pops, I
have mentioned this to my kids
on more than one occasion.
So when I unwrapped a present given to me by my younger
son last year and found a stack of
Tootsie Pop wrappers, I understood what most would not.
Though there was no candy, all
of the wrappers bore the lucky
image. He explained that it took
several bags of lollipops to find
so many wrappers, and he hid the
unwrapped candy in a bag under
his bed he figured it wouldnt
seem like much of a gift if he
consumed all of the sugar.
Some of the wrappers were
fashioned into coasters to make
them truly practical. I mean, can
you think of a better gift?
I tucked away this special package and smile every time I think
of it. To me, its a reminder of a
phrase that seems overused: It
really is the thought that counts.
So if youre struggling to come
up with the ultimate gift for
someone special or even the

perfect recipe for a big occasion,

just think of the wrappers. The
best of what we give cant be
held, eaten or even bought. The
value of what we give is truly in
the intention.
In the spirit of simplicity, I offer this easy fruit salad. A welcome accompaniment to your
favorite coffeecake or sausageand-egg casserole, we think this
colorful fruit salad is equally
delicious with a side of vanilla
yogurt and a sprinkle of granola.
A smidgen of honey and lime
juice add a tangy-sweet note,
while the mint provides a fresh
finishing touch. I especially like
the interplay of the mint and
pineapple.
For ease of eating, make sure to
cut the pieces of fruit no bigger
than bite-size. Also, ripe kiwis
are fairly soft. To keep them
from squishing when the salad is
tossed and served, use kiwis that
give just a bit when pressed gently, and slice on the thicker side.
For visual appeal, I usually
choose one yellow and one green
apple for this salad, but feel free
to use your favorite crisp variety.

Salad: The least loved

side of holiday dinners.
But it doesnt have to be.
The problem with most
of the salads served at holiday meals is they tend to
lack inspiration and usually are made from lackluster ingredients. Fair
enough. Our focus usually
is on the roast and heartier
and way more interesting sides, like scalloped
potatoes and gravies and
baked this-and-thats.

But a holiday dinner salad

not only can be delicious, it
also can be a bright and light
counterpoint to the many
heavier options on the table. The trick is to draw on
seasonally appropriate ingredients that also are robust enough to stand up to
the rest of the meal. In this
case, we went with roasted
beets and lightly charred
citrus segments. Combined
with nicely dressed greens,
its a delicious redemption
of the salad.

salmon!
I like to buy one single
large fillet if possible,
then serve it on the largest platter I can find. It
makes for a pretty dramatic and colorful holiday meal centerpiece.
Plus, roasted salmon is
incredibly easy, quick
(taking minutes, not
hours, like many roasts),
and is versatile. Since we
try to eat fatty fish twice
a week in our home, this
holiday favorite helps get
us there, year-round.
My favorite roasted
salmon strategy couldnt
be easier. Just brush the
fillet with seasoned olive oil (which can be as
simple as salt, pepper
and oil), roast it quickly
at high heat, then top it
with a quick vinaigrettestyle sauce. Mix together
almost any combination

THE WARM HEART OF QUEBEC CITY

North Americas most European
city glows with brisk vitality
ELLEN CREAGER
DETROIT FREE PRESS

QUEBEC CITY Shop windows are dominated

by winter parkas. A cool, bitter wind blows off the St.
Lawrence River. The trees are turning quickly now.
On Fabrique Street, I hurry past a fur store with my
inadequate raincoat and fleece, wishing I had a hood.
Or gloves. Or both. In this brief season, fall, North
Americas most European city glows with brisk vitality.
It has broad shoulders and French-Canadian sturdiness. City hall is decorated with giant pumpkins.
Spindly geraniums are on their last legs in the flower
pots.
Cruise ships on color tours of Canada dock at the
port, and visitors pour into the winding streets of the
lower town.
Most Americans have been to Toronto, or maybe
Vancouver or even Montreal. But Quebec City is far
different than those large metropolises.
Here, everything is about New France, North
Americas French ties, both the past and present. And
that sensibility is why Quebec City is also regularly
named one of the most romantic cities in the world.
This time of year, it gets dark earlier each day. Already at 2:45 in the afternoon, I feel the hint of winter
to come, and how Quebec fights the darkness.
I walk uphill toward the windswept river. I cut
through a small alley that doubles as a market. There,
artists sell touristy images in oil, acrylic and watercolor, all reds and greens and bright blues.
There is a gay feeling of warm color and light in this
tiny alley. Nearby, St. Louis Street also is full of bright
colors on the shutters, awnings, and in shop window displays that soften forbidding gray stone and
chilly blue skies.
Inside the luxurious Fairmont Chateau Frontenac
hotel, the tradition of afternoon tea is another good
insulator against the clutches of winter-in-waiting.
There, a waiter serves a gleaming silver pot of
steaming tea along with precise little appetizers. The
room is hushed, It is warm in here. Couples linger.
Nothing is rushed. It feels like a warm blanket, sitting
in this room with its wide windows.
One thing about Quebec City. Yes, the language is

Thailand forcasts record visitors

BANGKOK (AP) A deadly bombing
in August threatened to scuttle Thailands economically crucial tourism industry but officials are now forecasting
more than 30 million visitors this year
as arrivals from China swell.
The bounce back reinforces the teflon reputation of Thai tourism, which
has thrived over the past decade despite two coups, episodes of deadly
street fighting, airport occupations and
natural disasters.
Thailands tourism council is forecasting a record 30.3 million visitors

this year, an increase of 22 percent

from last year. Chinese tourists are
expected to total 8.1 million, rising by
three quarters from 2014.
Only a small number of countries attract more than 30 million tourists a
year, among them France, China, the
United States, Spain and Turkey. Thailand was aiming for 28.8 million tourists this year.

Our parents told us
we were wasting our
money. And our friends

meaning, of course, we

as they typically do.

weeks, preaching flexibility there would

Reno, Nevada, also afforded a chance to stretch
on the platform. Most
other stops lasted only
long enough to pick up
and drop off passengers.
We arrived in Emeryville, California, outside Oakland end of
the line for the Zephyr
on day five of our
grand adventure. All that
remained was the 1hour Capitol Corridor
run from Emeryville to
San Jose. It was early
evening by the time we
pulled into San Jose, 104
hours after wed boarded
our first train in Orlando.
Now for the nitty-gritty: We had a two-person
sleeping compartment
apartment actually had
only two rooms and one
real bed. The other bed
was a hard, fake leather
twin-size futon.
London was our test
case, baby steps to foreign travel. And we fell
down that first week (a
lot) as we tried to cram
in too much, too fast:
the Tower of London,
St. Pauls Cathedral,
Buckingham Palace, the
London Eye, the citys
443-foot-high
Ferris
wheel, and so on.
By Day 6, everyone
was exhausted, and we
were on the move again,
to Stonehenge, 90 miles
west of London. Weeks
earlier, we had booked
a Stone Circle Access
tour, a good call. For 96
pounds ($144), we would
be able to walk right up
to the massive stones, after hours, at sunset, with
just a handful of others.
No hordes of tourists,
held back by ropes and
guards. It is the only way
to do it.
But by the time we finally stood beneath the
iconic bluestones, the
boys were interested in
only two things: collecting rocks on the ground
(against the rules) and
playing hide-and-seek
(also against the rules).
Dad, run! they shouted.
Dad, hes coming! Hide!
The security guards
smiled, turning the other
way. And so, we ran and
hid while others walked
around in quiet homage
to the long-ago people.

When in France
We escaped to France
a day later, by train via
the Chunnel, and found
solace in Paris. Out of
necessity, we learned to
slow down, leaving our
Airbnb apartment (perfect, this time) for sightseeing as late as 11 oclock
on some mornings. We
simply couldnt travel
with children as we had
traveled before.
Still, we took the stairs
up the first two levels of
the Eiffel Tower (704,

the whole way, which

made all the difference.
The changing time zones
loudspeakers kept us
abreast made for a little confusion.
Yes, we used the communal on-board showers.
(It wasnt nearly as icky
or tricky as Id imagined;
the water was warm and
the facility tidy.) Granted, my son washed only
once and wore the same
red Minions T-shirt four
of our five days on the
tracks. But we werent
too grungy as we arrived
in San Jose.
And we were hardly
starving. Meals are included breakfast, lunch and
dinner when you book
a sleeping compartment,
served by waiters in the
dining car. The food especially the French toast
is actually quite good.
Seating is communal;
no booth seats go empty.
But thats the beauty of
train travel: Imagine great
meal conversation with

travelers from around the

world, eager to share not
only a table but vacation
and life stories.
The
not-so-good
news: It was the same
menu, regardless of
the route. So after five
days of salmon, steak
and cheeseburgers, I
hungered for something else. This wasnt
a problem for my son,
however, who ordered
macaroni-and-cheese at
every opportunity.
As for hand luggage, we
had a single small carryon. Large suitcases could
be stashed in a common
area. Had I known that in
advance, I wouldnt have
checked our big bag.
As we celebrated our
arrival in San Jose, I
turned to my son. Would
he do it again? You bet,
he answered.
So would I.
In case youre wondering, we flew back : a mere
seven hours, including
the layover.

It was 10 p.m. Way too

late for dinner, way past
bedtime for the boys.
And none of us cared.
There was only one
question that mattered

first. Where are we
going next?
in all) instead of the
elevator. We ate heaping bowls of pho (a first
for the boys) at Foyer
Vietnam, a casual cafe,
owned by the Vietnamese Embassy.
We spent two days (not
enough, it turned out)
visiting the World War II
memorials.
We worried that these
monuments wouldnt
hold the boys attention.
But at Utah Beach, where
American soldiers died
coming ashore 71 years
ago, Cormac and Cal dug
in the sand, happy.

Bridging fear
We were traveling by
rental car near the Austrian town of Reutte, just
across the German border, lost in a misty rain,
when Eva looked up to
see a spindly footbridge
straddling two mountaintops. Pull off, she
urged me. This, she
said, turning to the children, is what travelings
all about.
We learned the story of
the bridge at a visitors
center, just off the road.
The walkway, called
Highline 179, is 5 feet
wide, a quarter mile long,
suspended nearly 40 stories over the highway,
B179 below, and is made
of metal wire and slats
which means, when you
look down, it looks and
feels as if youre walking
on air.
My wife is afraid of
heights, and I dont like
them either. But we
found ourselves paying
24 euros (about $27) for

our bridge tickets because that is what you do

in Reutte, and then, together as a family, stepping out onto the precarious pathway in the sky,
reportedly the longest
pedestrian footbridge
in the world. It swayed
and bounced in the wind.
I froze, unable to look
down. Even though there
was no feasible way any
of us could plummet to
our deaths, I wasnt going one step farther. And
neither were Eva and
Cormac. But Cal was
making a stand.
Come on, Dad, he
said. Itll be fun.
I knew my son was
right, and I knew what
I had to do. We walked
across the bridge, he
and I, all the way to the
other side and all the
way back, looking right
past our feet to the earth
below. Eva and Cormac
followed after awhile,
going about a third of
the way, as far as they
could go. We were in this
together.
That night, safely inside our hotel room in
the majestic former
Olympic town of Innsbruck, we laughed over
takeout Indian food as
we retold the story of our
day, and the bridge and
the bravery we all found
inside of us.
It was 10 p.m. Way too
late for dinner, way past
bedtime for the boys.
And none of us cared.
There was only one
question that mattered
and Cormac asked it
first. Where are we going next?

AP NATIONAL WRITER

NEW YORK From adult coloring books to a new novel by

Harper Lee, it was a year for unexpected hits, and hits that sold well
in paper editions.
As e-book sales remain stalled
at some 25 percent of the market,
hardcovers and paperbacks held
steady at a time digital has upended the music, film and television
industries. According to Nielsen
BookScan, which tracks around
85 percent of the print market,
sales of paper editions increased
modestly in 2015. As of early December, 571 million units had
sold, compared to 559 million in
2014.
Coloring books for grown-ups,
a concept once as out of left field
as, say, a second work of fiction
from Lee, were the hottest trend.
Led by Johanna Basfords Lost
Ocean and Enchanted Forest, the phenomenon understandably caught on almost exclusively in the print format, and
Basford has no desire to change
that. Numerous apps have been
designed for adult coloring, but
Basford wants her work experienced only on paper, according
to Penguin Books publisher-senior vice president Patrick Nolan.
Paper all along has been especially popular for nonfiction
and childrens books, a tradition upheld for such top 2015
releases as David McCulloughs
The Wright Brothers and Bill
OReillys Killing Reagan. For
Jeff Kinneys million-selling, illustrated Diary of Wimpy Kid:
Old School, 95 percent of sales
were for print, according to the
Abrams imprint Amulet Books.

Im not surprised that physical

book sales of Diary of a Wimpy
Kid outstrip e-books by such a
wide margin, Kinney wrote in a
recent email. So much of the way
kids experience the world these
days is through a screen, but we
instinctively know that the best
way to get kids reading is by placing a book in their hands.
E-books have been most successful in adult fiction, with sales
for Anthony Doerrs Pulitzer
Prize-winning All the Light
We Cannot See divided equally
between print and digital even
though there was little difference
on Amazon.com between the cost
for the hardcover ($15.29) and for
the Kindle edition ($13.99).
The price gap on Amazon also
was small for the hardcover and
e-editions for Lees Go Set a
Watchman, and might have
hurt digital sales. Lees first work
since To Kill a Mockingbird
not only defied the repulsion of

critics by staying on best-seller lists

for months, but sold in hardcover by
a ratio of 4-to-1 over the e-book.
Jonathan Burnham, publisher and
senior vice president of HarperCollins Publishing, has a theory.
Possibly the historic nature of the
publication made people want to
own a physical copy, he told the AP.
Paper even managed surprisingly well for romance novels, which
have thrived as e-books. According
to Harlequins executive vice president for North American marketing,
Brent Lewis, the majority of their
sales are now from paper editions;
before the ratio had been 50-50.
Amanda Bergeron, the head of the
digital Avon Impulse imprint, also
sees improvement for print books.
A lot of people a few years ago got
new devices, so like anything thats
new and exciting you lean toward
that for a period of time, Lewis said.
And that shine has worn off a little
bit. Some people have reverted back
a bit to paper.
Romance author Jennifer Ryan
has seen that change herself. She
was first published in 2013 through
Avon Impulse and by the end of the
year her Saved by the Rancher
series had attracted a substantial
following. This year, with her Montana Men novels, her work was finally published in paper editions.
When I got into the paperback
market and was in bookstores I
thought my e-books would outsell
my paperbacks because people knew
me just through e-books, she said.
But over the last year or so the
digital sales have gone down a little
and my paperback sales have gone
up. I have talked to other authorfriends, and they have seen the same
thing.

YEAR IN REVIEW

Critic picks favorite

10 books of 2015

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Patti Smiths second memoir,

M Train, makes it on the list
LOS ANGELES TIMES

We can never read

enough. This is both the
joy and the frustration
of reading for a living:
that we can never read
enough. I face such a limitation each year when it
comes time to make this
list: alphabetically by title, the most memorable
books I covered one way
or another during the
last 12 months, my 10 favorites of 2015.
Between the World
and Me by Ta-Nehisi
Coates (Spiegel & Grau:
176 pp., $24): A vivid and
relentless examination
that in its sharpness, its
specificity, its framing of
race through the lens of
danger to the body, forces us to change the very
way we think about one
another and ourselves.
The Brothers: The
Road to an American
Tragedy by Masha
Gessen (Riverhead: 272
pp., $27.95): Gessens investigation is ostensibly
about the Boston Marathon bombing, but the
crime occupies only two
sentences in the middle
of the book. Instead,
what Gessen is after here
is context, an account
not only of the Tsarnaev
brothers but also of how
they and many others
like them become radicalized.
Eventually Everything Connects by
Loris Lora (Nobrow: unpaged, $40): What a project this is: a book that
unfolds like an accordion into a double-sided
6-foot mural, imagining
all the towering figures
of mid-20th century
California modernism
(Charles and Ray Eames,
Edith Head, Dave Brubeck, William Claxton)
in one place. Culture as
mash-up, more circular
than linear that is the
intention of Loras deft
and brilliant work.
Honeydew by Edith
Pearlman (Little, Brown:
275 pp., $25): Pearlman
writes some of the best
sentences in the English
language, and this collection of 20 stories is a
showcase, not only of her
skill with words, but also
of her ability to pierce
the surfaces we erect
around ourselves, and to
reveal the vulnerabilities
(sometimes desperate,
sometimes accepting)
hidden underneath.
Killing and Dying by Adrian Tomine
(Drawn & Quarterly: 128
pp., $22.95): Tomine is a
superlative comics artist, both for the acuity of
his storytelling and the
authority of his lines. In
this collection, he makes
a major creative leap,
gathering six works of
graphic fiction that take
on baseball, domestic
violence, the death of a
loved one and the desire,
or necessity, of making
art all of it evoked with
an understated subtlety,
without sentimentality
or cliche.
The Meursault Investigation by Kamel
Daoud (Other Press: 144

N. Duke St.

Rocker Patti Smith this year published her second

memoir, M Train.

DAVID L. ULIN

SUNDAY, DECEMBER 20, 2015

pp., $14.95): Daouds

first novel is nothing if not audacious:
a response to The
Stranger,
narrated
by the brother of the
Arab shot down in cold
blood by Camus protagonist, Meursault.
The strength of this
book, though, is where
Daoud goes from
there, a consideration
of colonialism and all
its dehumanizing discontents.
M Train by Patti Smith (Alfred A.
Knopf: 272 pp., $25):
Smiths book is less a
memoir than a gathering of anecdotes, of incidents, a testament to
loss and grieving, and
yet at the same time a
celebration of her life.
All things are open
to the believer, she
writes, which functions in these pages as
both invocation and its
inverse, like so many of
the observations here.
The Odd Woman
and the City by Vivian Gornick (Farrar,
Straus and Giroux: 176
pp., $22): Gornick is a
walker in the city, as
well as a piercing critic
and a brilliant memoirist, and in this deft
and impressionistic
book, she blends these
perspectives into an
extraordinary tapestry in which New York
emerges as the most
individual of landscapes,
imaginative
and physical at once.
Then Comes Marriage: United States
v. Windsor and the
Defeat of DOMA
by Roberta Kaplan
with Lisa Dickey
(W.W. Norton: 320
pp., $27.95): Kaplan,
the attorney who won
the DOMA case before the U.S. Supreme
Court in 2013, recalls
that victory through
a legal and a personal
filter, interweaving the
courtroom drama with
both the saga of her
own coming out and
the epic love story of
Thea Spyer and Edith
Windsor, who refused
to let their commitment go unrecognized.
Wide Awake: Poets of Los Angeles
and Beyond edited
by Suzanne Lummis
(Beyond
Baroque
Books/Pacific Coast
Poetry Series: 326 pp.,
$18): Lummis has been
on the Los Angeles poetry scene since before
there was a Los Angeles poetry scene, and
in this magnificent
anthology, she gathers
the work of more than
100 poets (Wanda
Coleman, Luis J. Rodriguez, Eloise Klein
Healy, Douglas Kearney) to reveal the
depths and power of
the citys poetic sensibility.

consideration before adopting a
new pet this time of year.
Also in the New Era on Dec. 20,
1990, the Fiat Group announced
that it had acquired a majority

Lancaster Countys second-largest employer. Ford Motor Company and Fiat of Italy will merge
their tractor, farm, and industrial
equipment businesses into a new
company which will be 80 percent owned by Fiat.

pool, and when weather conditions permit, skating will be held
daily until 10 p.m. for the fee of 10

25 cents for ages 12 and over.
The Dec. 20, 1965, New Era
reported that the beleaguered
Lancaster Post Office braced for
its final crush of Christmas mail.
Postmaster Frank Hammond reported that more than 150,000
cards and letters were posted,
sorted and tied in in the 24-hour
period ending Sunday night following the seasons peak weekend. Temporary employees were

was formerly Fred Schopfs farm.
As soon as it arrived at 10 a.m., it

raised the 40-foot tree. Christmas

Memberships:
Im

Nourishment for the

interest in music. I listen to a lot of different
things: Blues, folk, jazz,
rock and roll. If I had to
characterize it, it would

had to pick one band, it
would be the Grateful

I play a little bit, but I

dream would be to spend
an extended amount of
time in Ireland. Id like to
explore where my family came from. Im mostly
Irish, with a little Welsh
and German. My wife is
mostly Irish, too.
Pet peeves: Unkindness, racism and prejudice.
I dont understand how
people can be that way.
People I admire: If I
was going to pick someone
I could sit down and have a
cup of coffee with, it would
be Patti Smith. I think shes
a really interesting person
and I like her views on life.
I admire (Zen Buddhist

HEALTH

Poll: Many unsure

flu shots do any good
Only 43% believe vaccines
will actually protect them

CROCKER
STEPHENSON

MILWAUKEE JOURNAL
SENTINEL

MILWAUKEEWith
the height of the influenza season fast approaching, a survey published
Tuesday by the federal
Department of Health
and Human Services
found a sizable number
of Americans are skeptical that a flu shot makes
much of a difference.
According to the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention, the
best way to prevent the
flu is by getting a flu vaccine each year.
Paul Biedrzycki, director of disease control and environmental
health at the Milwaukee
Health
Department,
said not only is the vaccine a powerful preventative, it reduces the severity of flu symptoms
and tamps down spread
of the disease.
Its still the best tool
we have, he said.
But less than half of
those surveyed 43
percentsaid
they
strongly believed a flu
vaccination would help
protect them from the
illness and nearly a third
32 percent said they
didnt think it would.
The Harris Poll online
survey was conducted
in mid-October among
2,225 adults. Because
the sample in based on
those who agreed to participate in Harris Poll
surveys, no sampling error could be calculated.
The flu is a contagious respiratory illness
caused by viruses that infect the nose throat and
mouth. The illness can
be mild to severe and at
times it causes complications that lead to death.
Last year and the year
before, Biedrzycki said,
Milwaukees flu season
peaked over the holi-

Its still the best

tool we have.
So far this year,
the vaccine
has proved
effective.

days.
This years flu season
has had a later start.
As of Tuesday, there
have been three flu-related hospitalizations, he
said. As of this time last
year, he said, there had
been 55 hospitalizations.
Were at the beginning, he said.
He predicted the peak
of the season would
come in January.
Flu viruses are constantly
changing,
Biedrzycki said. Because the vaccines must
be developed months
before the illness arrives, vaccines are more
effective in some years
than in others.
The medical community shoots for an effectiveness rate of about
60 percent. Last years
rate was particularly
low: 23 percent.
So far this year,
Biedrzycki said, the vaccine has proved effective.
The Harris Poll found
another
disconnect
between the medical
community and the
general public.
Public health officials
urge those sick with the
flu to stay home from
work or school to prevent
spreading the disease,
which can be particularly
harmful to infants and
elderly people.

Sick child

Continued from B7

Ask for the quadrivalent

flu vaccine for kids,
Dogun said. These
protect against four
different flu strains.
n Make sure children
are up to date on
other vaccines. Dogun
specifically mentioned the
pertussis vaccine because
that disease, also known
as whooping cough, is
routinely found in western
Pennsylvania.
n Wash hands frequently,
and use hand sanitizer.
This is especially
important this time of
year, when people tend
to gather for meals and
parties, Dogun said.
n Be smart about food
preparation. Make sure
hot foods stay hot and

cold foods remain cold.

Wash your hands before
touching any food or
cooking utensils. Cover all
coughs and sneezes.
n Dont share drinks.
Youll share a lot more
than some eggnog or
ginger ale.

STATE COLLEGE When Carl

Nassib began his career as a Penn
State walk-on, the West Chester native passed a display listing the names
of the Nittany Lions All-Americans.
From that point on, he made it his mission to place his name among them.
I didnt want to tell anybody, Nassib admitted Friday, on the eve of his
graduation with the end of his college
football career approaching. I never
told anybody because I knew that they
would laugh at me and kind of give me
a weird look.
As his collegiate career approached
its end, the senior defensive end addressed a swarm of reporters as Penn
States first unanimous consensus AllAmerica selection since Tamba Hali in
2005.
With equal shares of humility and
confidence, he ruminated on his journey as a Nittany Lion, a senior season
that launched him into the stratum of
the nations elite defensive players, and
a final game as a Nittany Lion scheduled for Jan. 2 against Georgia in the

PHILADELPHIA

The Philadelphia Eagles

snubbed the old-school
football coach to hire the innovative, younger guy three
years ago.
It worked out nicely for
the Arizona Cardinals.
After firing Andy Reid, Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie and
then-general manager Howie Roseman interviewed a
dozen candidates. Bruce
Arians, who was The Associated Press NFL Coach of
the Year in 2012 after filling in for Chuck Pagano and
leading Indianapolis to the
playoffs, was on their original list.
But the Eagles canceled
the interview with Arians
and lured Chip Kelly away
from Oregon.
I never got an answer
other than thanks but no
thanks, Arians said.
Arians grew up in Pennsylvania and coached Temple
from 1983-88, so he was excited about possibly coming
back to Philadelphia.
Heck, yeah. Phillys like
home, he said.
Instead, he ended up in Arizona and the Cardinals are

Concussion a
benefit for NFL
Bears McCaskey sees positives
from film focused on player safety
LAKE FOREST, Ill.
Chicago Bears board
chairman George McCaskey sees good coming
from the movie Concussion, even if the NFL is
portrayed in a controversial light.
The movie stars Will
Smith in the role of forensic pathologist Bennet Omalu and focuses
on chronic traumatic encephalopathy, a progressive degenerative disease that has been found
in the brains of athletes
with a history of repetitive head injuries.
The important part I
think, is that any attention on player health
and safety is a good
thing, McCaskey said
Friday as the Bears
prepared for Sundays
game against Minnesota. The NFLs made
changes in recent years,
rules changes, research
is being funded, we
need to improve the
science, we need to improve the equipment
and we need to improve
the rules, need to improve the rules enforcement. And we think that
the changes that were
making in the NFL will
filter down to all levels.
McCaskey said the
NFL has made 39 safetyrelated rule changes in
the last 10 years and it
hasnt all been aimed at
concussions.
I think it would be a
mistake to rely on any
one aspect to improve
safety, he said. I think
equipment is part of it. I

think rules, and rules

enforcement is part of
it. I think coaching is a
big part of it, especially at the youth level.
McCaskeys
son,
Conor, suffered a
concussion playing
high school football
and needed several
months to recover.
McCaskey
maintained youth coaches
in any sport must
be more involved in
safety.
I remember telling
someone that when
my son was playing
soccer, the head coach
picked me out of a
group and parents and
said, Youre my assistant coach, McCaskey said. And I said, I
dont know anything
about soccer. He said,
that doesnt matter, I
need someone to help
me keep an eye on all
these kids.
One of the players portrayed in the
movie is former Bears
safety Dave Duerson,
who committed suicide. Duerson was
found to suffer from
CTE. The Duerson
family has expressed
disappointment at his
portrayal in the movie
on several fronts.
Well, Ill leave that
to the Duersons and
the producers of the
film, McCaskey said.
We need to do what
we can for our former
players across the
board. We owe it to
them.

THE NEW YORK TIMES

The gold medal game

at the Sochi Olympics
last year represented
the pinnacle of womens
hockey: a captivating
3-2 overtime victory by
Canada over the United
States that drew almost
five million viewers on
NBC.
But Amanda Kessel,
a leading scorer for the
Americans in Sochi and
the college player of the
year in 2013, has not
played since, ending her
career at Minnesota at
23 because of lingering
symptoms from a concussion sustained before
the Olympics.
Her teammate Josephine Pucci retired over
the summer at 24, cognizant of her concussion
history.
A concussion kept
Canadas Haley Irwin
out until the Olympic
tournaments semifinals.
She assisted on the tying
goal in the last minute of
the final, but her symptoms returned after the
Olympics. Another concussion, in January, has
kept her from playing
professionally in the Canadian Womens Hockey
League.
You feel completely
lost and completely broken as an athlete, Irwin,
27, said in March after
being left off Canadas
roster for the world
championships.
Womens hockey is a
growing sport, evolving through quicker and
stronger players who are
finally being rewarded
for their talents as paid
professional
athletes.
But concussions have
kept some of the best
players away from the
ice for extended periods
as the sport struggles
to combat an issue that
football and mens hockey have failed at times
to properly address. The
NHL is facing litigation,
with former players accusing the league of
glorifying violence and
ignoring the dangers of
repeated head injuries.
The amount of players still getting concussions on the national
level and college level,
its too many, said Pucci,
whose sisters hockey career was also ended by a
concussion.
Womens hockey penalizes body checking
and does not have a history of fighting, creating
a perception that the
sport is safer than mens
hockey. But it is still a
contact sport, particularly along the boards
and around the goal. As
the players grow faster
and stronger, they create more powerful collisions, and enforcement
of penalties can vary by
level.
Despite increased public discussion, there is
a dearth of information
focused on concussions
in womens hockey. The
few published studies
available are unsettling.
An eight-year study
released this year by

ASSOCIATED PRESS FILE PHOTO

Sarah Forster of Switzerland collides with Josephine Pucci, right, of the United States
during a Winter Olympics womens ice hockey game in Sochi, Russia, in February 2014.
Pucci, who had three diagnosed concussions in college and one in high school, retired
from hockey last summer at 24.

the International Ice

Hockey Federation analyzed womens hockey
injuries at the world
championships and the
Olympics. It found that
concussions were the
third-most-common injury (15.5 percent), behind contusions (28 percent) and sprains (20.8
percent).
A 2014 summary of
self-reported
concussions among NCAA student-athletes said that
womens hockey had the
largest percentage of
players who had experienced at least one concussion, at 20.9 percent.
In 2012, Dr. Paul Echlin, who helped develop
a concussion curriculum
in Canadian schools, led
a small study of two Canadian college teams and
found that female hockey players sustained concussions almost twice as
frequently as men did.
USA Hockey and
Hockey Canada did not
provide staff members
for interviews to detail
their concussion programs, instead referring
to information on their
websites.
The problem is these
organizations are dancing around the issue,
Echlin said, citing concerns about participation numbers as a reason
that national federations
might not be more forthcoming.

Limited
resources
Womens hockey is
not supported by the
vast riches that back the
NHL and the NFL. After college, top players
in North America can
choose between two professional leagues: the Canadian Womens Hockey
League, which is in its
ninth season and does
not pay player salaries,
and the National Womens Hockey League,
which began play in the
fall and offers salaries.
The CWHLs physician, Dr. Laura Cruz,
recognizes that womens
professional hockey has
limited resources. Every NHL game has sev-

The CWHL and NWHL
employ smaller medical
staffs at games.
Despite limited means,
the CWHL has made an
effort to continually update concussion tracking methods in recent
years, Cruz said, and the
NWHL has a player safety department to monitor dangerous plays. It
issued its first suspension this month.
Female professional
hockey players are eligible for league health
insurance, but it may
not cover all concussion treatments, some
of which can cost thousands of dollars. Professionals in North America
make a maximum salary
of $25,000; the average
NHL salary is about $2.5
million. In college, student-athletes are often
covered under limited
campus medical plans.
At the NCAA level,
there can also be disparities in resources among
larger and smaller institutions, said Dr. Jeffrey
Kutcher, an associate
professor of neurology at
the University of Michigan.
Every organization
that touches the sport
needs to be involved and

Kutcher, who is the director of the NBAs concussion program. But

generative brain disease

that has been diagnosed
in dozens of former football and hockey players.
Many share a familiar
script of being holed up
in dark rooms, sometimes having to abandon
school, jobs and their
playing careers.
Paige Decker sustained
a career-ending concussion in November 2013
when she was playing for
Yale and was blindsided
by a check that sent her
head crashing to the ice.
Decker has visited
more than 40 physicians throughout North
America, searching to
alleviate the daily pains
that saturate her nerves
and muscles. She often
leaves only with misdiagnoses and thousands
of dollars in bills that
her insurance does not
cover. She compared her
constant headaches to
barbed wire constricting
her brain.
Decker, 23, left a consulting job in Boston a
year ago because of her
health. She is largely
confined to her parents
house in Connecticut.
Thats the worst feeling in the world, to not
know how to get your
life back, Decker said.
I cant even articulate
theres no more raw,
darker, deeper emotion
of that helplessness.
Deckers injury has
left no jarring scars, but
two pink earplugs signal
her discomfort. They
reduce the chalkboardscratching
sensations
that permeate her head
whenever her Labrador
retrievers bark or any
high-pitched noise emanates nearby.
Decker said womens
hockey should explore
more repercussions for illegal physical play. Suspensions and fines are rare.
The player who hit
Decker was called for
interference, her third
infraction of the game.
She returned to play after serving a two-minute
penalty.
That penalty didnt
have to happen, Decker
said. I didnt have to go
through two years of suffering.

Football player slain by gunfire

15-year-old Tennessee student killed as he dove to shield 3 girls from bullets

DON JACOBS

KNOXVILLE NEWS-SENTINEL

KNOXVILLE, Tenn.
Fulton High School
football player Zaevion
Dobson was killed by
random bullets fired in
a gang shooting when he
dove on top of three girls
to shield them from the
rounds.
Knoxville Police Chief
David Rausch choked
back tears Friday at a
news conference when
he described how the
15-year-old sophomore
acted as a human shield
to spare three girls injury from a fusillade of bullets fired by three men.
About a dozen people
were in the area when
the shooting began.
No other injuries
were reported, Knoxville Police Department
spokesman Darrell DeBusk said.
The Thursday night
shooting was one of
three shootings through
the night in the area.
One of the men involved in Dobsons death
died himself early Friday
from gunshot wounds
sustained during the
night of violence.
Brandon Perry, 23,
died at the University of
Tennessee Medical Center, where he was taken
after he rammed a black
BMW through the brick
wall of an East Knoxville
apartment about 2 a.m.,
Rausch said.
Perry and two other
men were responsible,
Rausch said, for randomly firing guns four hours
before he crashed the
2002 BMW. Perry used
the same BMW, Rausch
said, when randomly firing rounds that struck

Dobson.
Rausch cautioned that
the investigation is still
in the early stages, but he
said it appears people in
other vehicles also were
shooting randomly before leaving the area.
We think there is
some connection with
gangs, the chief said of
the three shootings.
The BMW slammed
into an apartment building, shattering the outside brick wall. The front
of the car entered the
apartment to the drivers
door.
Police said the elderly
resident of the apartment was asleep and
was not injured.

Because of the damage to the apartment,

Rausch said emergency
workers had to rescue
the trapped resident.
Police said Perry had
been shot before the
crash. Two men jumped
from the wrecked car
and fled, but both were
quickly caught by police,
Rausch said.
Police
investigators
questioned the two men
and released one, the
police chief said. No firearms have been recovered, Rausch said.
Investigators
are
working with the district
attorney generals office
on charging the second
male, DeBusk said.

The first shooting

Thursday night was
reported at the house
where Perry lived with
his mother.
At 7:18 p.m., police responded to a call of shots
fired into a home. Police
found multiple rounds
had entered the home,
and more than one
struck resident Lisa Perry, 46, in the lower back.
Lisa Perry, who is the
mother of Brandon
Perry, was taken to the
University of Tennessee
Medical Center with injuries not thought to be
potentially fatal.
Rausch said a 10-yearold girl in the house was
not struck by the projectiles that pierced the
house.
Police said they found
several shell casings in
the road outside the victims residence.
We should be celebrating the Christmas
holiday, instead, now
we have two young men
who are dead, Rausch
said at a news conference Friday.
The chief extended
his appreciation to the
community for providing information to police
about the shootings.
Our plea is for this
community to pray for
the families, Rausch
said.
The chief said he has
ordered additional resources to be deployed
because of the gang
shootings.
Also attending the
news conference were
Knoxville Mayor Madeline Rogero, Fulton High
School principal Rob
Speas and Fulton football coach Rob Black.

BOWL ROUNDUP

Early explosion sparks Utes

Utah scores 5 TDs in first quarter to beat BYU 35-28 in the Las Vegas Bowl
Utah took advantage of a disastrous start by BYU in the Las
Vegas Bowl, scoring five firstquarter touchdowns on turnovers
including two interceptions by
Tevin Carter before holding on
to beat the Cougars 35-28 on Saturday.
Carter returned one of the
picks for a touchdown and another to the 1 as No. 20 Utah (103) romped to a 35-0 first- quarter
lead in the first meeting of the
two heated rivals outside of the
state of Utah. BYU (9-4) turned
the ball over the first five times it
had the ball, with freshman quarterback Tanner Mangum throwing three interceptions and fumbling once.
That was all the scoring Utah
did, and it nearly cost the Utes the
game. Mangum would bring BYU
back, throwing two touchdown
passes and rushing for another
with 3:23 left to get the Cougars
within one score, but BYU never
got the ball back.
Bronco Mendenhalls last game
as BYU coach was almost over
even before some of the fans settled into their seats, thanks to an
opportunistic Utah defense that
forced Mangum to fumble on the
third play of the game. Midway
through the first quarter, the Utes
were already up 28-0.
In a statistical quirk, BYU actually outgained Utah offensively
(89-69) in the first quarter. But
Carter and Dominique Hatfield
both scored on interceptions, Joe
Williams had two 1-yard touchdown runs, and quarterback Travis Wilson added another TD on a
20-yard run.

With Nassib and Zettel reaching the end of
their eligibility, and with
Johnson taking initial
steps to pursue the NFL

torch for the defensive
linemen goes to Garrett Sickels and a slew of
young, unproven college
players.
Im very excited to see

COMMENTARY

MacPhails Phillies plan: Young arms first

In a plan seemingly focused on quantity over quality, Philadelphias president hopes for depth and consistency
MATT BREEN

THE PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER

At his introductory
news conference in July,
Phillies president Andy
MacPhail noted his concerns about the teams minor league pitching depth.
The Phillies had few major league ready pitchers.
And those who were being
promoted like Aaron
Nola were leaving large
voids in the minors when
they joined the Phillies.
Since MacPhails arrival, the Phillies have traded for 15 pitchers and
just three everyday players. The Phillies agenda
is clear as they look to
bolster their pitching
before turning toward
acquiring offense.
They could start next
season with five of their
top pitching prospects
in triple A. Come July or
August, the major league

rotation could become

a competition for the
organizations
young
arms, most of which
have been acquired since
MacPhails introduction.

According to MLB.com,
five of the teams top
10 pitching prospects
have been acquired by
MacPhail and general
manager Matt Klentak,

who arrived in October.

I know we have more
than we did have. But,
over time, were going to
really learn exactly what
it is, MacPhail said. Its
still going to be a priority for us. I really believe
as our team grows more
and more competitive,
were going to be able to
find hitters. Its going to
be an attractive place to
come. If they think were
winning games, were
going to get the hitters.
But the pitching needs
to come from the system and it needs to come
from trades. Thats the
approach weve taken.
MacPhail was joined
on Friday by general
manager Matt Klentak
and manager Pete Mackanin at Our Brothers
Place, a homeless shelter
for men operated by the
Bethesda Project and the

city near North 9th and

Spring Garden streets.
The Phillies helped serve
meals to the shelters residents. Mackanin, who was
joined by his wife Nancy,
wore a chefs hat as he
slapped turkey and stuffing
onto trays. Tina Pagotto,
the Bethesda Projects chief
operating officer, said the
facility sleeps 149 men each
night. Our Brothers Place
can serve meals daily to an
additional 200 men, Pagotto said.
This event is incredibly
important to Bethesda
Project, Pagotto said.
Having the Phillies bring
cheer and holiday wishes
at a time when so many
of our homeless shelter
guests are feeling the lowest. It goes so far in making a difference for their
spirits. Were very grateful
and we look forward to it
every year. They support

us all year round.

The Phillies plan to
eventually find their offense in the free-agent
market carries less risk
than signing a free-agent
pitcher to a lucrative
deal. It is easier to project a hitters future and
what the players production could be. A hitter also has a longer shelf
life, which brings less
caution to a contract.
Even so, the Phillies
may be forced to sign a
top-flight pitcher, unless
they can develop a true
No. 1 arm, which could be
the target of next Junes
No. 1 overall draft pick.
Pitchers, as they get
older, they become more
expensive. And frankly, they become more
fragile, MacPhail said.
When youre in that market, you understand the
dynamic of that market.

Marauders
wrestling
coach Todd Roberts said.
Hes a very competitive
person who wants to
win, and that will pushes
him to a new standard.
And its not just in
athletics, either. Hes a
strong student. He has
to be, or he couldnt do
what he does. His workload is academically
challenging, and playing two sports is very
time consuming, but hes
struck the right balance.
Sheehan
competed
in five golf events for
Millersville in 2015. For
11 rounds, his average
score was 77.7, and he
carded one top-10 finish and three top-25
performances. All were
improvements from his
freshman season.
Although the two
sports dont seem connected, Sheehan said
golf makes him a better
wrestler.
Golf helps me stay
lighter, because Im always walking golf courses during the season,
Sheehan said. And golf
helps me mentally, because its such a mental
sport. You make one
mistake and you can
ruin your score and have
a bad tournament. You
learn to put that aside.
In wrestling, you have
to be mentally tough to
keep pushing and improving. That mental
edge helps with technique and attention to
detail.
A two-time PIAA Class
AAA medalist for Solanco at 106 pounds including a second-place
finish in 2013 Sheehan faced a challenging

couldnt compete for my

Leslie earns go-to role

Sophomore Manheim Township grad leads Rochester women in scoring, rebounding

BILL ARSENAULT
LNP CORRESPONDENT

Alexandra Leslie had

a great freshman season
with the University of
Rochester womens basketball team but coach
Jim Scheible feels that
the 6-foot-2 sophomore
forward out of Manheim
Township is even better
this season.
Alexandra has definitely improved from
last year, the coach
said. She is tougher
mentally and has embraced the role of our
go-to player.
Leslie leads the 7-1 Yellowjackets in scoring
(16.1) and rebounding
(10.1). In her final game
prior to winter finals
and the holiday break,
she had 25 points and a
career-high 21 rebounds
in a 74-71 nonleague victory over Ithaca.
Leslie scores in every
which way and is also a
very willing and accomplished passer, Scheible
said. She handles double-teams very well. In
addition, her defense
has taken a big leap forward. Shes now very effective at blocking shots
while still staying out of
foul trouble. And, as the
Ithaca game proves, she
is also a very tough rebounder.
As a freshman, Leslie
was named D3Hoops.
com Division III Rookie of the Year, University Athletic Association Rookie of the
Year and a first team
choice, ECAC Upstate
New York Rookie of the
Year and an honorable
mention All-American
by the Womens Basketball Coaches Association. She averaged
15.2 points and 9.2 rebounds with 43 assists,
17 steals and 14 blocked
shots.
Leslie and her teammates will next take
their show on the road
to San Juan, Puerto
Rico, where they will
play Montclair State on
Dec. 29 and Ramapo on
Dec. 30.

captured the NCAA Division I mens soccer
title, junior Brian NanaSinkam and sophomore
Drew Skundrich were
key performers on defense for the Cardinal.
It was the schools first
NCAA crown in college
soccer.
Nana-Sinkam (Manheim Township) and
Skundrich (Hempfield)
both started all 23 games
for the 18-2-3 champions and led a defense

that gave up just 15 goals

with 11 shutouts. In five
NCAA games, Stanford gave up just three
goals and shut out Akron in the semifinals
and blanked Clemson
4-0 in the College Cup
finale.
Against Akron, the
teams battled to a 0-0
tie after three overtimes, but Stanford won
the game 8-7 on penalty kicks. Nana-Sinkam
scored one of the penalty kicks.
Ross doing the job:
Junior Alex Ross has
started all 10 games for
the Bloomsburg womens basketball team,
which is 7-3 overall
and 4-3 in PSAC East
play.
The 5-foot-10 guard
out of Manheim Township is averaging 10.1
points and 5.4 rebounds with 24 assists.
She had a career-high
18 points in a 62-61
victory over the University of the Sciences
and had a double-double (11 points and 10
rebounds) in an 82-63
loss to Gannon.
Alex is such a pleasure to coach, Huskies
head coach Bill Cleary
said. What a season
she is having so far. She
has put the work in and
is more confident than I
have ever seen her play.
Cleary calls Ross one
of the most coachable
players he has ever been
around.
Alex is determined to
help this team win any
way she can, he said.
She has played every
position this season and
she does it with a smile.
Crutcher keeps improving: Megan Crutcher has been competing
at a high level all season
long for the Grove City
womens swim team,
but the freshman really
came into her own in a
recent 177-84 victory
over Wheeling Jesuit.
Crutcher, a LampeterStrasburg
graduate,
finished first in the 100
breaststroke (1:09.69)
and second to a teammate in the 200 IM
(2:18.90) and also swam
legs on the winning 200
medley relay (1:54.40)
and the 200 freestyle relay (1:42.29).
Megan has made a
much quicker impact
than we expected,
coach David Fritz said.
She posted lifetime best
times in her first dual
meet in October and has
continued to improve
from there.
The grueling college
season and competing

in the tough breaststroke has taken a toll on

Crutcher, though.
Megan is experiencing quite a bit of fatigue
as the result of adding
weight training to her
regimen, Fritz said.
And the higher volume
of breaststroke work has
led to some knee soreness that we have been
monitoring and making
adaptations for.
Crutcher is chasing a
few records including
the 100 breaststroke,
which is held by former
Cocalico standout Kaley
Hess.
Its possible that Megan could surpass that
record at some point in
the season, Fritz said.
Kurry back in the
pool: Junior Elise Kurry, a Lampeter-Strasburg grad, missed last
season with an injury,
but shes back in action
with the Juniata womens swim team. Kurry
competes in freestyle
events, the 100 and 200
backstroke and is also
swimming legs on the
200 free and the 200
and 400 medley relays
for the Eagles.
Elise is a dedicated
swimmer whom I have
been very happy to
have back on our team,
coach Nathan Smith
said. She worked hard
this fall to get back into
shape and swam her
lifetime best recently
in the 50 freestyle,
breaking the 30-second barrier for the first
time. She has exceeded
our expectations and
has been a great team
member.
Big start for Swarr:
Sophomore Ben Swarr
is 11-2 in the early going
for the Messiah wrestling team this season.
The Garden Spot graduate, wrestling at 184, has
two pins and defeated
Hunter Fenk 7-2 to help
the Falcons defeat Shippensburg 28-10 earlier
this month.
Ben is as tough as anyone in our room, coach
Bryan Brunk said. He
went to nationals last
year as a freshman and
is looking to improve
upon that and reach the
podium in March.
Sophomore
Adam
Peris (McCaskey), seniors Ben Wise (Manheim Central) and
Andres Gutierrez (McCaskey) are also on the
Messiah squad. Peris is
10-9 at 149, Wise is 7-6 at
165 and Gutierrez is 3-5
at 141.
Adam is really gritty, Brunk said of Peris.
I know hes going to

fight for every position

and every point. He has
moved himself to the
forefront of our depth
chart at 149.
The coach likes what
he sees in Swarr and
Peris.
Ben and Adam are
integral parts of our
team, Brunk said.
They are super positive
kids and great workers
in the room and in the
classroom. I think they
have each progressed
nicely from college
freshmen to seasoned
veterans.
PSAC times for de
Perrot: Freshman Danielle de Perrot captured
the 200 IM (2:15.33) and
finished third in the 200
breaststroke (2:32.69)
to help California (Pa.)
defeat Fairmont State
and Davis & Elkins in a
recent home swim meet.
Both times were PSAC
qualifiers.
Danielle has been a
real pleasure to have as
a member of the team,
coach Ed Denny said
of the Warwick grad.
She is not only a very
hard worker in the pool,
but has been very open
to making technique
changes that will allow her to be even more
successful than she has
been thus far.
De Perrot, a biology
major, is doing it in the
classroom as well. She
was close to a 4.0 grade
point average in the first
semester.
Curtis
helping
Knights: Junior Lillie Curtis, a Lancaster
Catholic product, is a
key member of the Arcadia womens swim team,
which stands 6-0 at the
break after an impressive 152-39 victory over
Wilkes.
Curtis captured the
50 freestyle (27.05), was
second in the 500 freestyle (5:53.19) and swam
a leg on the winning 400
free relay (3:53.53).
Lillie has been one of
our strongest swimmers
since stepping on campus in 2013, coach John
Geissinger said. Im really pleased with how
she has continued to attack each day and lead
by example to our young
team.
The streak, all against
Middle Atlantic Conference foes, will be
on the line when the
Knights who most recently finished seventh
in the ECAC Winter
Championships, held
Dec. 4-6 return to
the pool Jan. 14 against
Kings and Messiah in
Grantham.

PIAA FOOTBALL

L-L has mixed views on change

Expansion to 6 classifications for 2016 season will affect some programs more than others
ED GRUVER

EGRUVER@LNPNEWS.COM

The reactions ranged

from acceptance to barely concealed contempt.
Lancaster-Lebanon
League football coaches
look at the PIAAs reclassification from four to six
classes and, depending
on how it impacts their
program, see improvement or just more of the
same old, same old.
I think they didnt
do their homework,
said Wilson boss Doug
Dahms, whose Bulldogs
bump up from Class 4A
to to 6A.
I didnt want to
change from four (classification) to six. It doesnt
help the big schools at
all; it helps the smaller
schools. It takes some
of the smaller schools
and gives them a smaller
bracket.
One of those smaller
schools, Lancaster Catholic, looks to have benefited from a reclassification that lists it in the
newly aligned 3A.
Were right where we
should be enrollmentwise, Crusaders coach
Bruce Harbach said.
The last few years weve
been nomads (playing in
L-L Sections One, Two
and Three and District
Three Class AAA and
AA). Now were competing at our level. The
advantages (of reclassification) are equal opportunity for teams, as far as
enrollment goes.

Historic change
The PIAAs vote for reclassification occurred
this past October and
was overwhelming 264. It will be implemented
in 2016 and the bottom
line is that beginning
next season it will be easier to win a state football
title in Pennsylvania.
Whether those titles
are now watered down
depends on your point of
view.
Six classifications is
something the PIAA had
been looking at as a way
to both shorten a season
that begins in August
and doesnt end until the
week before Christmas
and make the number of
teams in each classification more equitable.
It serves to divide the
commonwealths
577
football programs into
some 96 teams in each
class. In the four-class
system, which had been
in place since PIAA playoffs began in 1988, AAAA
had 148 teams, AAA had
147, and AA and A had
141 apiece. Teams have
the option of moving up
or down.
Reclassification is only
one piece of this puzzle.
The length of the regu-

Cocalico coach Dave Gingrich took a neutral stance on the reclassification: I didnt care whether they went to six
classes or stayed at four. Were still playing in Section Two and were still playing to win the section.

lar season, which could

be shortened from 10 to
nine games; the number of preseason scrimmages, which could be
cut from two to one; the
number of playoff teams,
which is likely to be reduced from its current
number of 16 in AAAA
and AAA down to eight
are all topics on the table
for the District Three
meeting that will be held
Tuesday.
The elephant in the
room that few want to
talk about, however, remains the public schoolprivate school debate.
Well take a closer look at
that aspect in Mondays
story.

Differing
reactions
Regarding
reclassification, the old adage
that all politics are local
rings true. Coaches are
generally pleased or displeased with the change
depending on how it affects their program.
The Pittsburgh PostGazette reported in
October that WPIAL
coaches were less than
pleased with the idea of
six classes.
Some WPIAL coaches
have proposed dropping
out of the PIAA playoffs,
but that seems unlikely
because theyre in the
minority in their beliefs.
The big problem for the
WPIAL is that six classes
bump up against its storied tradition and history. Each of its four title
games are held at Heinz
Field. Since it would be
impossible to hold six
title games on the Steelers home turf, two title
games would have to be
played at nearby high
school or college fields.

Wilson coach Doug Dahms doesnt like the changes in

classification and said of the PIAA: I think they didnt do
their homework.

COMING
MONDAY
n As part of his look at the
expansion of PIAA football
to six classifications, Ed
Gruver examines the
ongoing public school vs.
private school debate.

Closer to home, L-L

coaches own differing
views on the move to six
classes.
Im excited about it,
said Manheim Townships Mark Evans,
whose squad is now in
6A. Anything we can do
to shorten the length of
the season is good, and
a few more teams will
have state and district
championship opportunities. I like those two
key factors.
Were right in the
middle of the pack in 6A.
I feel were in the right
division to compete year
in and year out.
Cocalico has been
nearly as nomadic as
Lancaster
Catholic.
The Eagles have moved
from L-L Section Three
to Two, and from AA to
AAA in District Three.
Now they find themselves in 5A.
I didnt care whether
they went to six classes
or stayed at four, coach
Dave Gingrich said.
Were still playing in
Section Two and were
still playing to win the
section.
Gingrichs outlook is
mirrored by that of John
Manion, whose Lampeter-Strasburg squad
just claimed a share of a
second straight Section
Two title.
Were looking at how
things affect us, Manion said. Were in a
strange situation; were
a 4A school playing a 5A
schedule. (Reclassification) doesnt really fit
where we are. Were not
happy or unhappy. Its
just different.

Manheim Township head coach Mark Evans is a proponent of the new classes in high school football. Im
excited about it, he said.

Pequea Valleys Mike

Choi is less concerned
with the number of
classes than he is the
number
of
playoff
teams.
The big thing isnt
what class teams are in,
its whether (District
Three) cuts down the
number of teams (in the
postseason), Choi said.
Were the smallest 3A
team (enrollment-wise)
in District Three. To get
into the top four (playoff bracket) would be
tough.
The Braves, who just
earned the first winning
record in program history, barely missed making
the playoffs for the first
time this past fall.

Scheduling
philosophy
If the number of playoff teams is reduced, its
likely to alter preseason
scheduling. As Dahms
notes, teams will be less
inclined to schedule
tough nonleague opponents if one or two losses
can knock them out of a
playoff berth.
Manheim
Centrals
Dave Hahn coaches a
Barons team that will be
one of the smaller squads
enrollment-wise in 5A.

How it impacts our

program its too early
to tell since we dont
know whos moving
up up and how it all
shakes out, he said.
Were used to playing against bigger
schools. Some of the
schools (in 5A) weve
battled before.
Like most L-L
coaches, Penn Manors John Brubaker
believes much more
could have been accomplished in the
PIAA meetings.
Their goal is to
shorten the season
so I applaud the PIAA
for reclassification,
he said. But were
still stuck in the same
situation, we just
have two more classes. I was hoping for
a little more as far as
separation between
public and private
schools.
A n nv i l l e - C l e o n a
coach Matt Gingrich
agreed, and summed
up the feelings of several of his fellow L-L
field bosses.
I was hoping (reclassification) would
quell some of (the
concerns of coaches),
he said. It quelled
none of it.

DAN MASSEY
FANTASY SPORTS

Looking ahead
to 2016 with
these players
For fantasy owners
who are no longer in
their league's playoffs,
thinking about next
year is a worthwhile
endeavor, especially
for owners in keeper or
dynasty leagues. Some
leagues permit only a
single player to stay on
an owner's roster until
the following season,
and others allow nearly
an entire squad to be
retained until 2016.
Players who have
significantly higher
prospects for 2016 than
they did in 2015 merit
consideration as keepers; below are low-cost
options that might bear
fruit as inexpensive
ways to start next fantasy season.
Jay Ajayi, RB,
Dolphins: Ajayi was a
fifth-round selection out
of Boise State by Miami
in the fifth round of the
2015 NFL Draft. Ajayi
did not take the field
until Week 9, and he has
been a victim of an incoherent offensive game
plan and a backup role
to Lamar Miller since
being activated.
In his limited action,
though, Ajayi has shown
impressive ability. He
has 135 yards on 27 carries, for an average of
5.0 yards per carry, to go
along with six receptions
for 75 yards.
Miller has intermittently been removed
from the offense for a
series at a time, and he
is a free agent at the end
of the season. If Miami
feels that Ajayi can
replace Miller's production at a drastically
lower cost, he may be
the leading back for the
Dolphins in 2016.
Nelson Agholor, WR,
Eagles: Agholor was one
of six receivers taken
in the first round of the
2015 NFL Draft, and few
panned out as well as
their teams hoped. Only
Amari Cooper, the fourth
pick to the Oakland Raiders, has had any prolonged fantasy value.
Kevin White and Breshad Perriman missed
the season with injuries,
and Philip Dorsett,
DeVante Parker and Agholor have had periods
of relative nonexistence.
Agholor played five
games before missing
three with a leg injury.
Since returning to the
field, Agholor has enjoyed modest improvement. In his last five
games, he has caught
11 of his 18 targets (61
percent) for 120 yards.
He also scored his first
touchdown of his career
last Sunday against
Buffalo. In his initial five
games, he reeled in eight

of his 17 targets (47

percent) for 105 yards.
Depending on
what the Eagles do at
quarterback current signal caller Sam
Bradford is a free agent
at the end of the season Agholor could
potentially surpass
Jordan Matthews, who,
charitably credited
with just three official
dropped passes, has
not proven himself to
be a consistently reliable target.
Tyler Lockett, WR,
Seahawks: Lockett
is another rookie
wide receiver who has
established himself in
the season's second
half. With Seattle's
backfield injuries
and Jimmy Graham's
absence, Lockett has
been an integral part
of the Seahawks surge
down the stretch. In
his last four games,
Lockett has 20 receptions for 280 yards and
four touchdowns.
Running back Marshawn Lynch, injured
for much of the season,
turns 30 in April and
is due to make $9 million in 2016. Seattle
has been successful
without Lynch, so it
is not hard to imagine
the team cutting him
and allowing Russell
Wilson, who has progressed as a passer, to
be the focal point of the
offense.
Wilson's ascent is
similar to that of Ben
Roethlisberger. Once
a game manager on
a team that ran a lot,
Roethlisberger had
a breakout season
passing in 2009 at the
age of 27. Since then,
the Pittsburgh offense
has been largely aerial.
Wilson is 27 himself
and is in the midst of
setting career highs in
practically every passing stat. Lockett, along
with fellow wideout
Doug Baldwin, stands
to benefit the most
from a shift in Seattle's
offensive approach.
Players on IR: In
fantasy leagues that
allow owners to keep
a player whom they
acquired late in the
year, any player who
is unowned because
of injury becomes an
intriguing keeper possibility.
One player such
player is Carolina's
Kelvin Benjamin, who
had 1,000 yards receiving as a rookie in 2014
before a knee injury
sidelined him for all of
2015. Cam Newton has
developed into a star
quarterback, and he
has achieved his rise
in the face of a dearth
of apt wide receivers.
Benjamin would add
a dimension to Carolinas offense and challenge his rookie totals
if his injury rehab goes
well.

New York Giants defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul (90) recovers a fumble against the Miami Dolphins last Monday.
Today, the Giants will try to hand the Panthers their first loss.
NFL PREDICTIONS

Giants to upset Panthers

GREG COTE
MIAMI HERALD

Game of the Week

TEXANS (6-7) at
COLTS (6-7)
Line: Off.
Cotes pick: IND 2120.
TV: 1 p.m., CBS.
Andrew Luck remains out for Indy,
which is hopeful Matt
Hasselbeck will be
ready but may need to
deploy Charlie Whitehurst. Texans a fashionable pick here,
mainly because Colts
have lost past two
weeks by 45-10 and 5116. But Houston is 0-13
at Indy since 2002, and
I see Colts finding that
home-dome
magic
once more.
Upset of the Week
PANTHERS (13-0)
at GIANTS (6-7)
Line: CAR by 5.
Cotes pick: NYG
27-24.
TV: 1 p.m., Fox.
Panthers
already
have clinched firstround playoff bye. Biggies, on other hand,
must win to keep playoff hopes breathing. Eli
Manning needs a clean
game, but NYGs defense catches a break
with Carolina missing
RB Jonathan Stewart.
Giants beat 13-0 Broncos in 1998 and beat
18-0 Patriots in 2007.
They do it again.
Dog of the Week
DOLPHINS (5-8) at
CHARGERS (3-10)
Line: SD by 2.
Cotes pick: SD 2420.
TV: 4:25 p.m., CBS.
This is weeks only
game in which both
teams are mathematically, scientifically and
theologically
eliminated from playoff
contention. Miami has
won nine of past 11 in
series, including 37-0
last season, and Diego
has dropped five home

games in a row.
BEARS (5-8) at VIKINGS (8-5)
Line: MIN by 51/2.
Cotes pick: MIN 2320.
TV: 1 p.m., Fox.
Vikes can clinch playoffs with a win and other
results all falling right.
Adrian Peterson could
run wild vs. a CHI runD allowing 4.7 per carry,
but Jay Cutler is 8-4 in
series and Vikes defense
is injury-wracked.
FALCONS (6-7) at
JAGUARS (5-8)
Line: JAC by 3.
Cotes pick: JAC 2820.
TV: 1 p.m., Fox.
Both teams have scant,
negligible playoff hope.
Id rather be Jax, which
seems on the upswing
and has some weapons
led by Blake Bortles. Id
hate to be ATL, which
has collapsed monumentally after a 5-0 start
and sees its locker room
unraveling.
TITANS (3-10) at PATRIOTS (11-2)
Line: NE by 14.
Cotes pick: NE 37-16.
TV: 1 p.m., CBS.
Pats have clinched
playoff spot but add firstround bye with a win and
a Denver loss. I dont
know that youd even
find anybody in Nashville who thinks the Titans will win this game.
BILLS (6-7) at REDSKINS (6-7)
Line: BUF by 1.
Cotes pick: WAS 2420.
TV: 1 p.m., Fox.
Heres the luck of the
division draw: In the
NFC East a 6-7 record
has Washington with a
39 percent playoff likelihood, while in the AFC
East the same record has
Buffalo given a 5 percent
shot. Coin-flip game, so
give me the quarterback
(Kirk Cousins) who is
5-1 in his past six home
starts with 11 TDs and

zero picks in that span.

Upset, albeit a tiny one.
CHIEFS (8-5) at RAVENS (4-9)
Line: KC by 7.
Cotes pick: KC 20-17.
TV: 1 p.m., CBS.
In midst of first losing season since 2008,
Crows werent sure late
in week if itd be Matt
Schaub or Jimmy Clausen subbing for Joe
Flacco. Like it matters?
Chiefs sitting solid in
the playoff race but cant
abide a loss here.
BROWNS (3-10) at
SEAHAWKS (8-5)
Line: SEA by 141/2.
Cotes pick: SEA 3413.
TV: 4:05 p.m., Fox.
Seahawks are on verge
of a playoff-clinch after 4-5 start. Big reason? Russell Wilson is
redefining hot. He
is only fourth QB ever
with three-plus TDs
and zero INTs in four
straight games, and first
since 1960 to have four
straight games with a
138.5 or better passer
rating.
PACKERS (9-4) at
RAIDERS (6-7)
Line: GB by 3.
Cotes pick: GB 2723.
TV: 4:05 p.m., Fox.
Pack clinches playoff
ticket with a win, but
here are two big reasons
that may not happen.
First, Eddie Lacy could
find tough going vs. a
fairly stout Oaks run
defense. Second, Khalil
Mack (nine sacks in past
three games) figures to
pester Aaron Rodgers.
Having said that, I still
trust Rodgers more than
I trust Raiders defense.
BRONCOS (10-3) at
STEELERS (8-5)
Line: PIT by 61/2.
Cotes pick: PIT 2420.
TV: 4:25 p.m., CBS.
Denvers No. 1-ranked
scoring defense vs. a
Pitt offense averaging

35.2 points over past

five games. Steelers are
narrowly off postseason
pace right now based on
tiebreakers but would
be in good shape if they
won out. Ill take Ben Roethlisberger over Brock
Osweiler.
BENGALS (10-3) at
49ERS (4-9)
Line: CIN by 41/2.
Cotes pick: CIN 2013.
TV: 4:25 p.m., CBS.
Bengals clinch playoffs
with a win but Cincys
season swings anxiously
with QB Andy Dalton

has a playoff shot but
must win out and hope

once. Eagles offense is
better with Sam Bradford back but Carson

Game could be entertaining. Wouldnt shock
me to see Drew Brees

Eagles: Bradford and Palmer are similar quarterbacks

plays. He dismissed it as
a great college offense
in an interview in 2013
and mocked its use of
quarterbacks in February.
They hold up a card
on the sideline, (the
quarterback) kicks his
foot and throws the
ball, Arians said at
the scouting combine
That aint playing
quarterback. Theres
no leadership involved
there. Maybe on the
bench.
Here are other things
to watch tonight:

Similar QBs: Carson

Palmer and Sam Bradford both won the Heisman Trophy. Both were
No. 1 overall picks. Both
have come back from
a torn ACL twice. The
comparisons end there.
Palmer is clearly a franchise quarterback having one of his best seasons. Bradford has yet
to prove hes the man,
though hes playing better now that hes more
comfortable in Philadelphias offense.
Hes come into a completely different style
of everything, Palmer
said. And hes really

DID YOU KNOW?

n Larry Fitzgerald has

47 catches for 802 yards

and 11 TDs in seven games
against Philadelphia.

picked it up fast. I think

every quarterback in the
league would look at it
and say man, hes done a
great job in such a short
time.
Stopping Fitz: Larry
Fitzgerald has dominated the Eagles throughout his career. He has
47 catches for 802 yards
11 TDs in seven games

against Philadelphia. Defensive coordinator Billy

Davis spent four years in
Arizona and is quite familiar with Fitzgerald.
To watch him work
on practice is really
what all NFL players
should do at practice,
Davis said.
Beating the blitz:
The Cardinals blitz
about 50 percent of
their plays, so Bradford
and the Eagles must be
ready for the pressure.
They faced plenty of
heat from Rex Ryans
defense in a win over
the Bills and Bradford
had success against

the blitz on important

third-down conversions
in the second half.
You always have to
prepare for blitz, but
these last two opponents, the Bills and the
Cardinals, are teams that
are really going to come
after you, Kelly said.
Backs by committee: Four running backs
carried the ball for the
Eagles last week and it
doesnt seem one guy
will get the bulk of the
work. DeMarco Murray,
Ryan Mathews, Darren Sproles and Kenjon
Barner are part of the
rotation.

We have what we
think to be four really
good running backs, so
we want to use them
all, offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur said.
I think if you put a really good player in the
game, and hes fresher
as you go, then you get
a little bit more out of
him.
Kicking game: Arizonas Chandler Catanzaro
hit his second game-winner on four games last
week against the Vikings,
splitting the uprights on
a 47-yarder with 1:23.
Caleb Sturgis was 3 for 3
for the Eagles last week.

whitetails.
How was your season?
Some hunters had incredible luck, and they were kind enough to share their success stories
with all of us. You can see the evidence on this page.
We received many more photo submissions than are printed here. Weve published all of them
on our website, LancasterOnline.com. Just visit there, click on the Sports tab, then the Outdoors page, and you can see them.
A quick nod to the lady hunters this year. Youll see several on this page and more online.
There was a time when wed receive maybe two or three photos of women and girls posing
with bucks they shot. Nowadays, we get many, and thats awesome.
Enjoy the photos. And if you see one of these hunters on the street, extend your congratulations.

TRACK AND FIELD

Felix training to attempt grueling same-day double

American standout sprinter wants to compete in both 200 and 400 races at the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro
PAT GRAHAM

AP SPORTS WRITER

American sprinter Allyson Felixs

training is all geared toward the finish
line in the 200 and 400 meters at the
Rio Olympics. Schedule allowing, she
hopes to be in the starting blocks for
both races.
Problem is, those events are scheduled to happen 75 minutes apart.
To facilitate Felixs pursuit, USA
Track and Field recently petitioned the

governing body of the sport to amend

the Olympic track program, which currently has the 200 preliminaries taking
place just over an hour before the 400
final in Rio on Aug. 15.
That would leave little opportunity for
the six-time Olympic medalist to recover.
She wont be deterred, though, should
the rescheduling not happen. She still
plans on attempting to make the U.S.
squad in both events at the Olympic
Trials in July and go from there.

I think she can make the team in

both. I think shes capable of medaling
in both. I think she has a great opportunity to win gold medals in both, her
longtime coach, Bobby Kersee said in a
phone interview. Shes very dedicated
to it. Shes committed to the challenge.
A change to the schedule is not without precedent, even at this late date.
Michael Johnson campaigned for a
rearrangement of the 200 and 400
events leading up to the 1996 Summer

Games in Atlanta. The program was altered, and he became the first male to
win both at the Olympics.
International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach said four
months ago that the Olympic track
program remains flexible.
USATF CEO Max Siegel went to bat
for the 30-year-old Felix by contacting
the International Association of Athletics Federations to set the wheels in
motion for a switch.

BARRY DECKER
ROLL EM

Ephrata sophomore Enck

turns in prime performances
From his already lofty
King of the Hill perch,
Ephrata High School
sophomore Lee Enck
rolled through competition to earn the title of
acting prime minister.
Although his success
might sound like an
English political drama,
it was actually a creative
tournament originated
by 222 Dutch Lanes
manager Eric Montgomery.
Each King of the Hill
tournament participant
bowls three games with
the highest scores competing in a stepladder
final, he said, and the
highest seed of the stepladder is the king from
the last tournament.
To dethrone the king,
a competitor must beat
him in a one-game match.
For a year, Enck
was the reigning king,
defeating all comers in
monthly tourneys.
Lee was quite a competitor in the tourna-

ment, Montgomery
said.
To encourage the
excitement of the
tourneys, Montgomery added a one-game
grudge match at the
conclusion of the stepladder.
I told the competitors
that if the king could
beat me, the prime
minister, in a one-game
match, Dutch Lanes
would put $100 added
prize money into their
scholarship account,
Montgomery said.
He noted that Enck
beat the prime minister
three times.
It is a great tournament because it got, and
continues to get, the kids
excited, Montgomery
added.
This September, Enck
was given the honor of
acting prime minister in
a new season of King of
the Hill. And will continue to add medals, trophies and award patches

WHEELCHAIR QUARTERBACK

Flyers Ghost
starting to scare
opponents
During last season and the early
part of this one, Philadelphia Flyers
fans forced to endure a mediocre or
worse on-ice product could comfort
themselves with the thought that help
was on the way.
The organization was patiently
developing a pool of prospects, particularly on defense, believed to be the
vanguard of a youth movement that
would inject much-needed speed and
skill into the lineup.
The first member of that vanguard,
22-year-old defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere, has already arrived and is as
good or better than advertised.
Ghost, who was playing for the
clubs minor league affiliate in Lehigh
Valley, got his opportunity with the
Flyers when Mark Streit suffered an
injury that required surgery.
In his first 16 games with Philadelphia, the team is 9-4-3 and looking
much better than before, when the
offense was largely MIA.

Scholastic competition is special to Enck

because: It helped him
form many new friendships, and he also took
pride in being part of a
sectional championship
team.
A great team has:
Members with great
spirit and never-quit
attitudes.
Bowling has helped
Enck: Develop patience,
composure and confidence.
Interest in the sport
began: In second grade.
Enck went on to join a
junior league in seventh
grade.
Secret to success:
The ability to control
pressure ... and practicing six games a day.
Other bowlers would
describe him as: A hard
worker who is focused.
Enck enjoys volunteering with: The Special Olympics. He is also
a USBC Youth leader.
A bowler he admires:
Jason Belmonte.
He has a great mindset, Enck said, and is
not fazed by pressure.

He already has six goals and five

assists with three of his tallies in
overtime and ranks second among
rookie defensemen in scoring despite
playing about half as many games as
everyone else.
Obviously, there are other factors
involved in the teams improved performance the return of penalty-killer extraordinaire Pierre-Edouard Bellemare,
the scoring of captain Claude Giroux
and excellent goaltending, for example
but its no coincidence the offense
picked up when Ghost joined the team.
In Al Morgantis Friday column on
PhillyVoice.com, he calls Gostisbehere
already a must-watch player for the
Flyers.
On the players game-changing speed,
Morganti writes: Gostisbehere has provided a solution to getting the puck out
of the defensive zone by simply taking
the puck and zooming up ice.
Sounds so simple, doesnt it?
Of course, the Flyers have a long way
to go to become a Stanley Cup contender.
But instead of being envious of how
every other club seems to possess
mobile defensemen who effortlessly
pass or skate the puck out of harms
way, Philly finally has one that puts
opponents on notice.
And its about time.

NCAA WOMENS VOLLEYBALL

Nebraska sweeps
Texas in 3 sets
Cornhuskers earn 4th NCAA crown
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) Freshman Mikaela Foecke had 19
kills, Amber Rolfzen added 10
and Nebraska won its fourth
NCAA volleyball championship with a three-set sweep of
Texas on Saturday night.
Cheered on by a tournament-record crowd of 17,561
at CenturyLink Center, 50
miles from Nebraskas Lincoln
campus, the Cornhuskers (324) ended a five-match losing
streak against the Longhorns
(30-3).
Kelsey Fien punctuated
the Huskers big night when
she slammed a set from
Kelly Hunter. Fien went to
her knees as her teammates
swarmed the court.
Foecke was named Most
Outstanding Player of the final
four. Nebraska also won national titles in 1995, 2000 and
2006.
Yasmeen Bedart-Ghani led
the Longhorns with 11 kills,
and Amy Neal added 10.
Nebraska became the 15th
champion in the tournaments
35 years, and second straight,
to win by sweep.
The Huskers came into the
final having lost nine of its
last 10 matches against the
Longhorns, including a fivesetter in Austin in September.
Three of the last four meetings
between the old Big 12 rivals

went to five sets, but Nebraska

was in total control this time.
Foecke, the Huskers 6-foot3 outside hitter, had eight kills
on 12 attacks in the first set
and eight more on 15 attacks
in the second.
The first set was tied at 23
before the Huskers wrapped
it up on Kadie Rolfzens kill
and a block by Cecilia Hall and
Hunter. The Longhorns Neal,
the Big 12 player of the year,
hit just .154 and had two of her
teams service errors in the
opener.
The Huskers led the second
set by three points on two occasions but Texas came back
to tie each time and take a 2221 lead. Foecke came up big,
slamming two powerful kills
and combining with Amber
Rolfzen for a block to get it to
set point. When Cerame hit
too long, the Huskers went to
the break up 2-0 in sets.
Texas led 13-12 in the third
set when Foecke drove the ball
wide, then Nebraska rattled
off five straight points. Kadie
Rolfzen tapped the ball to an
open spot for a kill to make it
23-18 Nebraska, and her twin
sister Ambers kill pushed it to
match point.
The Longhorns hit .215. It
was a tough night for Cerame,
who had those 11 kills but hit
just .114.

NCAA volleyball tournament finals in Omaha, Neb., Saturday.

NBA ROUNDUP

With Bryant out,

Durant, Thunder roll
Kobe Bryant may not have
made the difference. Either
way, the Oklahoma City Thunder had little trouble with the
Los Angeles Lakers on Saturday
With Bryant out with a sore
right shoulder, the Thunder
stars had their way. Kevin Durant had 22 points and eight
rebounds, Russell Westbrook
had 13 points and 11 assists
and Oklahoma City beat the
Lakers 118-78 for its eighth
straight home victory.
Enes Kanter had 19 points
and 14 rebounds, and Westbrook had his 18th doubledouble of the season for
Oklahoma City. The Thunder
won for the fifth straight time
against the Lakers.
The Lakers point total was
their second-lowest this season and the lowest by an Oklahoma City opponent since the
Thunder beat the Miami Heat
93-75 on March 22. The Thunder led by as many as 46 points
and flirted with breaking their
record for margin of victory,
which is 45 points.
Bryant sat in street clothes on
the Lakers bench while Durant
and Westbrook quickly took
control for Oklahoma City.
With Bryant out, the Lakers
started seldom-used rookie Anthony Brown in his place. Lou
Williams scored 20 points and
Jordan Clarkson added 15 for
Los Angeles, but the Lakers lost
for the 15th time in 17 games.
The Lakers came no closer
than 25 points in the second
half and Westbrook and Du-

LNP | LANCASTER, PA

rant spent the entire fourth

quarter on the bench.
Knicks 107, Bulls 91: Carmelo Anthony scored 27 points
and the New York Knicks beat
the weary Chicago Bulls.
Arron Afflalo added 18 points
for New York, which got back
to .500 at 14-14 after winning just 17 games last season.
Lance Thomas scored 13 off
the bench.
Joakim Noah had a seasonhigh 21 points for the Bulls in his
first start of the season. Rookie
forward Bobby Portis had the
best night of his brief career
with 20 points and 11 rebounds.
Anthony scored 19 in the
first half, but Chicago was
down only nine after three.
The Knicks reserves then
opened the fourth with eight
quick points to extend it to 8568 and they remained comfortably ahead from there.
Wizards 109, Hornets 101:
John Wall had 27 points and 12
assists, Garrett Temple scored
a career-high 21 points.
Wall scored 20 points in the
first half and then drilled a
key jumper with just over 2
minutes left in the game after
the Hornets nearly erased a
15-point deficit. Cody Zellers
layup cut the lead to 99-98
with 2:24 to play.
Jared Dudley matched a season high with 19 points and
Marcin Gortat had 18 points
for Washington.
Kemba Walker led Charlotte
with 18 points, and Jeremy Lin
had 15.

EXPANSION

MICHELLE SINGLETARY
THE COLOR OF MONEY

The new
normal for
young adults
WASHINGTON It
is well-documented that
the American middle
class is shrinking.
The Pew Research
Center said recently
that after four decades
as the nations economic
majority, the American middle class is now
matched in number by
those in the economic
tiers above and below it.
Not only that, in 2015,
20 percent of adults
were in the lowestincome tier, compared
with 16 percent in 1971,
Pew found.
If youre in the middle
or lower tiers, what do
you do with this information?
Maybe its time to embrace a new normal, at
least where it concerns
your adult children
starting out. Consider
the message young
people get when we say:
As soon as youre 18,
youre out of here.
When you graduate
from college, youre on
your own.
The American model
of living on your own
so you can learn to be
financially independent
is just not sustainable
for a lot of folks. Does everybody need his or her
own home?
I was thinking about
this question after getting an email from a
reader from Maryland
named John. His daughter is a recent college
graduate. John said he
and his wife are proud
of her accomplishments
and they enjoy having
her back in the nest.
The daughter has a fulltime job.
But heres the issue.
She thinks its unreasonable that I ask her to
share in the household
costs by paying $300 a
month in rent for her
basement bachelorette
pad, which also includes
meals, John wrote.
She complains that
she has no money left
after taxes are taken out
of her $30,000-a-year
paycheck. Am I being
unreasonable?
Before I answered, I
asked him four questions:
Does your daughter
have any student-loan
debt?
Does she have any
consumer debt, such as
from a credit card?
What are her financial goals? Does she plan
on buying a house soon?
Do you need the
$300?
Whether you charge
your young adults rent
or ask them to contribute to the household
expenses in your shared
space depends on their
financial situation and
goals. If living at home is
an option, you just need
to make sure your adult
child is being helped
and not hindered in
becoming financially
independent. Heres
what I recommend:
Coming out of college in debt.
They should live at
home if possible and not
be charged rent. They,
in turn, should devote
most of their net income
to paying down their

A GROWING REC

Lititz recCenter adds courts, studios, cardio equipment, eyes more growth
LAURA KNOWLES
LNP CORRESPONDENT

TIM MEKEEL

TMEKEEL@LNPNEWS.COM

The Lititz recCenter could have been

satisfied with its turnaround.
From the brink of bankruptcy a dozen
years ago, The Rec had bounced back
with the help of three expansions.
But now it has a different goal to keep
the momentum rolling.
And its getting a strong push in that direction from a two-phase, $4.1 million expansion that was completed in August.
Build it and they will come, right? said
Karen Mailen, executive director.
The project, which took the Maple Street
facility from 70,000 square feet to 100,000
square feet, has brought several new features and more of key existing ones.
Major changes include:
A larger cardio center that includes
treadmills, exercise bicycles, ellipticals
and ARC Trainers.
A new feature named the Functional
Training Center for activities such as
throwing medicine balls, doing plyometrics and doing body-weight exercises (including those done with Synergy Equipment).
A third basketball court.
Four new pickleball courts that replaced the previous three.
Two new fitness studios with larger
spaces that include stages for the instructors.

Executive director Karen Mailen, back left, stands with staff members in the Lititz recCenters lobby.

Dedicated space for yoga and pilates

programs.
Another new feature named a funZone.
For children 5 and up, it includes an obstacle course made from inflatable barriers
and slides, a climbing wall and a cargo net.
Two new services, massage therapy
and facials.
Another 100 parking spaces, bringing
its total to 260, and improved stormwater
drainage.
Theres a lot going on here, says Deb
Smith, senior program director. And
thats an understatement.

Members are excited by the changes.

What I really like is that the recCenter
listened to our suggestions and implemented them, said Peggy Gerhard, 72, of
Lititz, an avid pickleball player.
Now we have the best pickleball courts I
know of. Its wonderful.

Fees not affected

Though the project was expensive, the

venture will not trigger an increase in fees.
We dont plan on that, said Mailen, say-

Members play pickleball on one of the new courts inside the recently renovated and expanded Lititz recCenter.
Continued from D1

ing the recCenters budget shows it can afford to

repay a loan borrowed to
help fund the project.
(Membership is open
to anyone, though residents of its core market
Lititz Borough, plus
Warwick, Penn and Elizabeth townships pay
lower fees.)
The recently completed expansion, which
the recCenter will showcase with grand-opening
events in January, is expected to add fuel to the
facilitys renaissance.
When the recCenter
began construction in
August 2014, its membership rolls already
had risen to 7,000-plus,
more than triple the
2,000 members it had
when Mailen was hired
in 2003.
As we have expanded
and improved and added
value, our membership
has continued to grow,
she observed.
The new expansion
and renovation project is

sustaining the trend.

For instance, the number of participants in
group fitness classes is
up 30 percent from December 2014, Smith said.
She attributes the upturn to new members
enrolling and existing
members visiting the
recCenter more often.
A grand opening of the
recCenters expansion
is planned from Jan. 4
through Jan. 29.
It will offer a free class
every day, plus open
houses on: Wednesday,
Jan. 6, from 9 a.m. to 1
p.m.; Friday, Jan. 15, from
4 to 9 p.m.; and Saturday,
Jan. 23, from 9 a.m. to 4
p.m.
For a complete schedule, visit lititzrec.com.
New members who
sign up in January for
one year will have the
$50 sign-up fee waived.
Also, registration fees
for the Lititz recCenters
recKids child care program will be 50 percent
off for children signed up
in January.

Beyond Maple
Street
The recCenter has
plans for growth that
extend beyond Maple
Street.
It recently announced
plans to open a small
site in the Rock Lititz
campus in Warwick
Township.
The
10,000-squarefoot site will serve Rock
Lititz clients, employees, guests of a hotel being planned for the campus and the public.
The new site wont be
the first connection between Rock Lititz and
the recCenter.
Roy Clair, then of
Clair Brothers, spearheaded the campaign
to start building the
Maple Street location in
1987. It replaced a North
Spruce Street facility.
Clair Brothers became
Clair Global, which is
a partner in the Rock
Lititz campus for liveevent businesses.

The Rock Lititz site is

not the only project on
the drawing board.
The recCenter is contemplating a $4 million
to $5 million upgrade
of the Lititz Springs
outdoor pool complex,
which the recCenter
manages for owner
Lititz Borough.
A survey of area residents shows they favor
the idea, Mailen said,
However, the Lititz
Springs venture will
only happen if the four
core municipalities decide to help fund it.
Its in their court,
she said.
If that happens, then
the
recCenter
will
launch a fundraising
campaign with the public. Theres no timetable
for these steps, said
Mailen.
Work would include
replacing the main pool
(as well as adding fun
and interactive features), renovating the
lap pool, and replacing
locker and rest rooms.

Bakery slated for Lititz

Pork & Wallys closes in

Lititz

at 2417 Willow Street Pike is

between McDonalds and House
of Pizza, at the site of a former gas
station just south of Willow Valley
Square. It has seven employees.
With headquarters in Roanoke,
Virginia, Advance Auto Parts is
a leading retailer of automotive
parts, batteries, accessories and
maintenance items.
The Willow Street store is its
11th in Lancaster County; the
company has some 5,200 stores
in the United States, Puerto Rico,
the Virgin Islands and Canada.

Sugar Whipped Bakery,

which operates a food truck,
will open a shop at 77 E. Main
St. in Lititz in mid-January.
Owner Stephanie Samuel
said the shop will expand the
trucks menu beyond cupcakes,
whoopie pies and marshmallows to include muffins, scones
and possibly some other breakfast items.
The shop will not offer individual seating but will have
space for classes and parties.
Samuel said she will continue
to operate the food truck after
the shop opens.

After nearly three years in business, Pork & Wallys, at 56 N. Broad

St. in Lititz, closed Dec. 12.
The restaurant opened in January 2013 at a spot previously occupied by the Sandwich Factory III.
Pork & Wallys featured a variety
of sandwiches and had seating for
around 50 inside and another 50
on a deck.
Jenn Wolownik, who owned the
restaurant with husband Mark,
said they are moving to her home
state of South Carolina, where
they may open a restaurant or food
truck.
She added she thinks another
restaurant will soon take Pork
& Wallys place, but didnt know
specifics.

It is important for

20s setting up a household they can barely
afford even with
roommates.
Yes John, charge your
daughter rent. She needs
a real-world wakeup call.
But she can be independent and learn financial
responsibility under

Its OK if young folks

CYBER SPEAK

3 things to
know before
you buy
your next
lightbulb
Two years ago,
under pressure from
the U.S. government,
lightbulb makers
stopped manufacturing the humble incandescent bulb. You
can still find some
on the store shelves,
especially specialty
and 3-way bulbs, but
standard 40/60/100watt A19s are no
longer available.
Unless you stockpiled a lifetime supply of incandescent
bulbs, youre probably
in the market for
replacements. Maybe
youve already bought
a different type of
bulb and arent happy
with it. Thats pretty
common, by the way.
Im going to walk
you through the options on the market,
and very important
aspects of buying
bulbs that work well
in your home.

1. Know the
options
There are three
major alternatives to
incandescent bulbs:
halogen, CFL and
LED. Each one has its
pros and cons.
Halogen
Halogen bulbs are a
more efficient version
of incandescents. In
many stores, theyre
even labeled as ecoincandescent. They
eke out an improvement of 28 percent
over incandescent,
which puts them over
the 25 percent limit
needed to avoid being
banned.
So the energy savings arent too great,
and they last only
as long as standard
incandescents. They
also put out more
heat than older incandescents, though
many have an inner
layer that reflects the
heat back toward the
filament for improved
efficiency. In terms
of cost, theyre the
cheapest alternative,
and they have the
traditional color temperature of incandescents. (More on
the really important
color temperature
aspect in a minute.)

NEW WORLD, NEW TOYS

Its no longer tough to find coding toys

for young kids. Heres a look at your
current options. All of the toys are
either sold through major retailers or
online.

DASH AND DOT

($150 for Dash, $50 for Dot, all ages)
Children can use a variety of apps to
program Dash, the larger robot, to
zip around their living room, perform
tricks, or speak pre-recorded phrases.
Accessories, sold separately, let kids
teach Dash how to catapult balls into
the air and play a xylophone. The
budget choice, Dot, doesnt move, but
still teaches basic programing and lets
kids play a variety of games.
Both robots grow with the child. The
simplest app lets pre-readers draw a
path on a tablet screen for their robot
and then drag and drop in picturebased instructions. Older kids can use
programming languages.
Online: makewonder.com
ASSOCIATED PRESS

In this Sept. 29 photo, Dash, a robot from Wonder Workshop, is displayed at the TTPM Holiday Showcase in New York. When it comes to computer science education, the U.S. lags beyond most other
industrial countries, but some developers are hoping to change that, with robots and video games
designed to teach kids as young as 5 the basics of coding.

Robots, games aim to interest young children in computer science

BREE FOWLER

AP TECHNOLOGY WRITER

NEW YORK Want even

your younger kids to join the
tech revolution by learning to
code? Maybe you should get
them a robot or at least a
video game.
Thats the aim of entrepreneurs behind new coding toys
for kids as young as 6. Theyre
spurred by a desire to get children interested in computer
science well before their opinions about whats cool and
whats not start to gel, in effect
hoping to turn young boys and
girls especially girls into
tomorrows geeks.
You really want kids to
learn these building blocks
as young as possible and then
build on them, Apple CEO
Tim Cook said in an interview
at a recent coding workshop
for third-graders in New York.
I dont think you can start
this too young.
Not everyone is excited
about pushing first-graders to
learn the nuts and bolts of how
computers work. Some critics
believe that too much technology too early can interfere
with a childs natural development; others warn that pushing advanced concepts on
younger kids could frustrate
them and turn them off computer science completely.

Push for computer

literacy
But theres a nationwide
push to improve computer
literacy in elementary school
and entrepreneurs are
jumping aboard. Growing up
in India, Vikas Gupta learned
to program at a young age and
was amazed at what he could
do with a basic computer and
some software. Now, the father of two wants todays kids
to get the same feeling from
the coding robots his startup
produces.

His company, Wonder

Workshop, started shipping
Dash and Dot, a pair of small,
programmable blue-and-orange robots, late last year. Kids
can interact with the devices
in a variety of ways. In the
most basic, kids draw a path
for Dash, which resembles a
small, wheeled pyramid made
of spheres, on a tablet screen.
They can then drag and drop
actions onto its path that, for
instance, might cause Dash to
beep or flash its lights in different colors.
More advanced kids can use
Googles kid-oriented Blockly language, or Wonder, the
companys own programming
language, to create and play
games with both robots. The
idea is to make building sets of
increasingly complex instructions so intuitive and fun that
it sparks childrens natural
curiosity about the way things
work.
Its going to be relevant for
whichever profession kids
choose in 20 years, Gupta
says. Doctors, architects, anyone; they will need to be able
to understand how machines
work in order to be really, really good at their jobs.
Middle school may be too
late to start robotics and coding classes, proponents say. By
that point, most children have
formed reasonably firm likes
and dislikes, making them less
likely to try new things. Thats
particularly true when it
comes to girls; while robotics
and coding activities tend to
be popular with both genders
early on, the percentage of
girls involved drops dramatically as kids get older.

Help from robots

Toy robots can
be very helpful in
teaching coding basics, says Chase Cunningham, a father

of 4- and 7-year-old girls who

writes The Cynja, a comic
book about warriors who fight
computer bad guys such as
zombies, worms and botnets.
Immediately, they get to
see the return, because the
robots move, says Cunningham, who by day handles
threat intelligence for the cybersecurity firm Armor. Kids
need that immediate reward.
But these kinds of toys are
so new that theres no way to
know if they actually stimulate long-term interest in
coding or whether they affect
healthy brain development.
Kids need to directly experience things, to invent purely
out of their imagination without any preprocessed experience, says Karen Sobel Lojeski, a Stony Brook University
child-development researcher with a computer-science
background. The introduction
of electronic toys at a young
age could hinder that, she says.
Nader Hamda, founder
of a handful of tech and toy
startups, loved seeing his two
young daughters embrace
technology, but like Lojeski
worried when they spent
hours alone with their tablets.
So, he created Ozobot, a tiny
programmable robot that kids
can play with together.
I wanted to recreate the
experience of the family game
night, where the whole family
is huddled around the game,
he says.
Kids can program Ozobot,
which is smaller than a golf
ball, simply by drawing different colored lines and shapes
with markers. Older kids can
also program in Blockly and
can even see what their finished code would look like in
CODING, page D6

OZOBOT
($60 for a single pack, ages 8 and
up)
This tiny robot, smaller than a golf ball,
lets kids create their own programs,
first by drawing colored lines with
markers for it to follow. The robots
sensors scan for changes in color, which
it interprets as code. The toys blockbased programming language offers
five levels of difficulty. Corresponding
tablet apps help kids along the way.
The toys relatively low cost has made
it popular with schools, while its small
size lets kids play with it on a table, or
pack it in their suitcase for a weekend
away.
Online: ozobot.com

PUZZLETS
($100 for a starter pack, ages 6 and
up)
Kids place tiles in a cloud-shaped
tray and use them to program the
movements of a character through
a game. Pictures on the tiles depict
various directions, characters and other
movements, so reading isnt required.
If kids dont get the movements right
the first time, they can run the program
again, hopefully picking up some
problem-solving skills along the way.
Parents can help along the way until
they, too, are stumped. Good news: The
game will email hints if it notices youre
stuck on a level for an extended period
of time.
Online: digitaldreamlabs.com

SPRK
($130, ages 8 and up)
You can do a lot with this clear plastic
ball. As with Dash and Dot, the
youngest programmers will have fun
driving SPRK around and changing the
color of its lights. Older kids can use
the companys Lightning Lab app and
block-based programming language
to build and share their programs. The
SPRK also works with the slew of apps
and games currently available for the
original Sphero robotic ball. Most of
those apps and games are free.
Though its now available thorough
major retailers, the bulk of SPRK sales
have been to schools.
The SPRK has a clear-plastic
polycarbonate shell, which lets kids
view its inner workings. It is also
extremely durable and has yet to break
despite continued abuse from two
young children.

Weighing Risks
of O.T.C. Drugs
HEALTH

JANE E. BRODY

Many users do not read

warnings on medicines
that are readily available.
Four out of five American adults
commonly take over-the-counter medications to treat ailments
like aches and pains, coughs and
colds and heartburn. O.T.C.s are
convenient and less expensive
than going to the doctor.
According to the Food and Drug
Administration, there are more
than 300,000 over-the-counter
drug products on the market, a
number that continues to grow.
Last year, Americans spent
about $44 billion on O.T.C. drugs
which, the industry claims, saved
the health care system about $102
billion in doctor visits, diagnostic
tests and prescription medications. Thats all to the good if they
are used appropriately. But one in
five adults who self-medicate admit taking more than the recomThis is the second of two articles on
medicine use in the United States.

mended dose or using the medication more often than the label
indicates. Few consult a doctor
or even a pharmacist about the
safety of a particular drug. A 2001
poll found that most people read
only some of the information on
product labels and thus may miss
essential information.
Even if used correctly, there can
be problems. Some drugs should
not be taken by people with certain health conditions or be combined with other drugs because of
possible adverse interactions.
For example, acetaminophen,
the active ingredient in Tylenol
and its many competitors, is also
a frequent ingredient in other
O.T.C. products, including cough,
cold and allergy remedies, and
prescribed pain relievers like
Percocet and Vicodin. In excessive amounts, acetaminophen
can cause severe liver damage.
Overdoses of acetaminophen
result in 30,000 hospitalizations
annually. A study of 500 people
published in 2012 revealed that
24 percent would exceed the limit
of 4,000 milligrams of acetaminophen over a 24-hour period.
About 46 percent would overdose
when taking two products containing the pain reliever at the

PAUL ROGERS

same time.
According to the National
Council on Patient Information
and Education, a third of Americans say they combine medications when treating multiple
symptoms, but only one person
in 10 say they read the entire label of each drug taken; therefore,
most are unaware of potentially
harmful interactions.
About 40 percent of O.T.C.
drugs are used by people older than 65. Because of chronic
health problems, age-related

changes in how well the body

processes drugs and the sheer
number of prescription medications many older people tend to
take, they face the greatest risk
of adverse side effects and drug
interactions. Among drug-related hazards disproportionately
faced by older patients are falls,
depression, confusion, hallucinations and malnutrition.
Just because a drug is sold
over the counter does not mean
its harmless. Laxatives are said
to be the most misused over-the-

counter remedy. When taken too

often, stimulant laxatives can
cause the bowel to lose its ability
to function without them.
Although O.T.C. drugs are generally safe when used occasionally and correctly by healthy adults,
those with chronic health problems can risk potentially serious
adverse reactions. People who
have underlying health problems
or who routinely take one or more
prescription drugs would be wise
to consult their doctors or a pharmacist before taking O.T.C. drugs.

Check Out
Charities
In Advance
YOUR MONEY

ANN CARRNS
As the year draws to a close, many
people are considering charitable
donations. Before donating, its
best to do some homework.
American charities receive
about a third of their donations
during the holiday season, according to BBB Wise Giving Alliance.
And there are now more ways to
donate, via social media and mobile apps. But that means there
are more ways for questionable
organizations to solicit money.
And even legitimate charities
vary in the way they protect donor
privacy. Some charities may trade
or sell donor contact information
to other charitable organizations,
or to marketing companies, as a
way to generate revenue.
That transfer of information
may put off donors, said Sandra
Miniutti, vice president for marketing at Charity Navigator, which
ranks charities. Donors give money to one charity out of the goodness of their heart, she said, but
then they feel bombarded.

Q&A
Where can I check a charitys tax-exempt status?
The Internal Revenue Service maintains a searchable
list on its website.
Can I donate anonymously
and receive a tax deduction?
Yes. A donor-advised fund
allows you to make a tax-deductible contribution to a
fund, which in turn makes donations to charities. The minimum contribution to establish one is typically $5,000.
Charity Navigator offers an
anonymous giving option for
less affluent donors.

Daniel Borochoff of CharityWatch said charities should make

their policies clear, so donors can
make an informed decision.
To reduce the chance of having
your information sold, check the
organizations profile on a charity
watchdog site. Charity Navigator
and BBB Wise Giving Alliance
both factor a charitys donor privacy policies into their reports,
Mr. Borochoff said. Or visit the
charitys website directly and see
if its policy on donor privacy is
clearly stated. If the site has an
opt out policy, be sure to opt out
if you dont want your information traded.

Some Expenses Are Investments

SKETCH GUY

CARL RICHARDS
Ask someone how they invest,
and youll probably get a pretty standard answer involving
stocks, bonds and maybe some
real estate or cash. Rarely will
people mention investments in
human capital.
They dont talk about it because
human capital investments can
look a lot like any other expenses.
Ive thought about this for years,
ever since I attended the Financial Planning Associations annual
conference in 2010. Ian Bremmer,
the president and founder of the
Eurasia Group, a leading research
and consulting firm on global political risk, offered one of the keynotes. Someone asked, How do
you invest your money?
He replied, I just hired another
Ph.D. at my business. Now, this
answer tells me Mr. Bremmer
invests in human capital. What
some might call an expense, he
considers an investment.
Kyle Korver, a professional
basketball player, made a similar
choice in 2008. After some injuries, it looked like he was on the
downhill side of his career. Then
he started training at P3, the Peak
Performance Project, in Santa
Barbara, Calif. He even moved

CARL RICHARDS

his family there so he could stay

close during the off-season.
His success makes it clear that
his choice qualifies as an investment. In 2013 and 2014, Korvers
stats showed that he played the
best basketball of his career at
age 33. He said his body feels
better now than it did at 23, and
that doesnt happen in pro sports.
I think about this way of investing every time I work with a
personal coach. Yes, theres a financial cost a lot of people would
define as an expense, and the
Internal Revenue Service would,
too. But I see it as an investment

in myself.
Maybe for you its something
simple like taking a class at the
local college, or moving to a new
city to give your career a bump. In
both instances, you can measure
the results of these choices. A promotion or a new job would be a
clear return on your investment.
Its been more than five years
since I heard Mr. Bremmers surprising answer. But it sticks with
me to this day. Hes investing in
human capital. Im committed to
making similar investments.
So what kind of expenses can
you turn into investments?

Komando: Buying and using new lightbulbs

Continued from D3

If you want a no-fuss

replacement for your existing bulbs, this is still a
good choice. But in four
years, the second stage
of the lighting efficiency
rules is supposed to go
into effect, and halogen
bulbs will probably disappear as well.
CFL
Compact fluorescent
(CFL) bulbs have been
around for a while, and
they have improved since
they were introduced.
You can see up to 75 percent energy savings, and
theyre supposed to last
around 10 times longer
than incandescents.
Price-wise, they cost only
a few dollars more than
halogens.
One concern with CFLs
is that they contain trace
amounts of mercury,
which makes cleaning up
broken bulbs and disposing of old ones a bit more
complicated.
Like larger fluorescent
lights, CFLs can take a
second to turn on and a
little time to warm up to
full brightness. Manufacturers have improved
this, but there might still
be a delay. Also, like any
other fluorescent lights,
CFLs can flicker, which
may cause eye strain.
If you have dimmer
switches in your house,
note that not all CFLs are
dimmable. Youll need a
CFL that specifically says
its dimmable, and even
then it might not work
correctly with incandescent, or legacy, dimmer
switches. You might have
to upgrade your switches

to ones designed to work

with CFL and LEDs.
Manufacturers Leviton
and Lutron both make
UL Listed dimmers and
have lists of compatible
bulbs.
LED
Light-emitting diode
(LED) technology is
the newest addition
to the home lighting
market, though youve
already seen LED lights
in LCD TV and monitor
backlights, car headlamps, Christmas lights,
municipal lighting and
other places.
LEDs save even more
energy than CFLs, and
they last up to 25 times
longer than halogens
(at three-hours-a-day
usage, they can supposedly last 20 years, and
there are some that can
last 40 years or more). Of
course, they can cost six
times more than halogen
bulbs, so its a bit more of
an investment up front.
But you should see big
savings down the road.
As with CFLs, not all
LED lights are dimmable, although most new
ones are. Look for bulbs
that say dimmable on
the packaging. However,
even dimmable LEDs
might not work correctly with older dimmer
switches. You might have
to upgrade your homes
dimmer switches to ones
that are designed to work
with CFL and LEDs.

2. Watts vs.
lumens
When you bought an
incandescent bulb, you

knew how bright a 40-,

60- or 100-watt bulb
would be even though
a watt is a unit of energy,
not brightness.
(Fun historical fact:
Watt is named after the
inventor James Watt,
who also invented the
copy machine back in
1780!)
With newer, more efficient lights, a little watt
goes a long way. That
means a 10-watt CFL
might give you the same
light as a 60-watt incandescent. Fortunately,
most lighting packages
will say 60-watt equivalent.
But that measurement
wont be around forever,
and it isnt always right.
You might get a 60-watt
equivalent CFL but find
that, due to its shape or
color, its not as bright as
you were hoping.
Thats why you should
start looking at a bulbs
lumens rating, which is
the measure of brightness. When you buy
a new bulb, try it out
and make a note of the
lumens. This will help
you find the sweet spot
for your rooms. And no
matter what type of bulb
you buy in the future,
youll know the brightness will be right.

3. Color
temperature
Color temperature is
something many people
dont consider, but they
should. Its what makes
the difference between
a warm homey lamp and
sharp white daylight.
Any bulb you buy is

Shred your bank

get

set to a specific color

temperature, such as
2,700K (K stands for
the Kelvin temperature
scale).
The lower the
number, the warmer
the light. Warm light
is good for area lights
and bedrooms at
night. For reference,
a candle is around
1900K.
The reason many
people didnt like LED
lights at first was that
the only available
color temperature was
on the high side and
seemed too bright and
harsh for most homes.
But now you can find
both LEDs and CFLs in
the full color temperature range.
So, what color temperatures should you
consider?
Those in the 2700K
to 3300K range will
give you a warmer
light, like a typical incandescent bulb. Many
manufacturers call it
soft white. Thats
good for bedrooms
and general lighting at
night.
Bulbs from 3500K
to 5000K are usually
called bright white.
Theyre not as warm,
but they show more
detail in the room.
Theyre a nice middle
ground for a living
room.
Anything 5500K and
higher gives an effect
like white sunlight.
Some manufacturers even label them
daylight. Theyre
better for reading or
work because they
help you pick out text
and detail. Just be
aware that they will
trick your brain into
thinking its daytime,
which can affect your
sleep schedule.
As a side note, staring
at an LCD screen before bed can cause the
same problem. A great
free program like F.lux
changes your monitors
tint throughout the
day to better match the
color temperature of
the outside light. It can
help reduce eye strain
and improve your sleep
cycle.

Bonus: Special
features
Modern lightbulbs
can do much more
than just brighten up a
room. Lighting manufacturers have started
adding special features
to their bulbs, especially LED bulbs.
For example, Philips
makes the Hue personal wireless lighting system. The Hue
bulbs hook up to your
Wi-Fi network so you
can control your lights
from a smartphone or
tablet. You can put the
lighting on a schedule
or hook it into a full
home automation
setup. Other manufactures, like Cree, make
connected lights that
can link up with home
automation systems,
as well.
Philips also makes
Hue bulbs that can
display up to 16 million colors, so you can
choose a color that
matches your mood or
time of day. It has these
in standard A-19 form,
or as part of units like
the Hue Go, Hue iris or
Hue bloom. Just know
you will pay a premium
for these bulbs.
You might also run
into some security concerns. Wi-Fi connected
bulbs often dont
have the security they
should. The original
Philips Hue bulb let
anyone connect to it, so
a neighbor could take
control of your light if
he wanted. And once
someone connected,
there was no way to
disconnect him or her.
While Philips fixed
the problem, its still
something to think
about as you bring
high-tech connected
appliances into your
home. Some manufacturers take the time to
put in good security,
but many dont.

Coding
Continued from D3

Javascript, a language
widely used to program
websites. Hamda says
roughly 400 schools currently use Ozobot as a
hands-on teaching tool.
The SPRK, from Colorado startup Sphero, has
also found a niche in elementary and middle
schools, which use the
clear plastic robot ball to
illustrate concepts such
as algebra and geometry.
Among other things,
says Sphero CEO Paul
Berberian, the robots
teach kids that making
mistakes is part of learning.
It introduces the methodical process, how to
go back and fix things,
Berberian says. Theres
no computer programmer in the world that
gets it right the first
time.
Puzzlets, created by
Justin Sabo and some
of his fellow Carnegie Mellon University
graduates, also teaches
trial-and-error thinking.
Theres no robot here,
just a tray in which kids
can place tiles representing commands that
move a character around
an associated tabletbased video game called
Cork the Volcano.
If kids dont get it right
the first time, they can
switch out the tiles and
run the program again.
Its like a mash-up of
chess and a classic video
game, Sabo says. Kids
learn through play, learn
by doing, he says. Its
meant to be social. Its
meant to be hands on.
Jey Veerasamy, director of the Center for
Computer Science Education & Outreach at
the University of Texas
at Dallas, recommends
against introducing coding until at least second
grade. Most kids will
get the greatest benefits from third to fifth
grades, when kids are
most willing to explore
especially girls, he
says.
Theres no need to
rush. Younger kids may
benefit, but you have to
remember that its not
for everybody, Veerasamy says.

Trump destroys myths

about the power of elites

hats interesting about Donald Trumps rise is that it

reveals how little power the political establishment actually has. Trump is not somehow taking power away
from a self-satisfied elite. But he is revealing that the elite never
had the kind of dominance that populists like to imagine.
Consider the two great villains of the populist mind. The left
thinks that politics is controlled by the vast fortunes spent on
elections by corporations and right-wing billionaires. The right
thinks that similar influence is exerted by liberal media and economic elites. Trumps poll numbers belie both theories.
But isnt Trump a billionaire, you will ask. Ah, but Trump is spending very little money on this campaign. The reason hes doing so well
is that hes getting a ton of media coverage. While other candidates
have to spend money to hire staffers and air ads in order to get their
message out, Trump just has to say something outrageous and wait
for the media to swoop down and give him eons of free air time.
The other billionaires, meanwhile, hate him. Virtually everyone
in the professional Republican establishment hates him not
because hes just too darn serious about immigration, but because
they would, not unreasonably, like their party to nominate a candidate with some chance of winning the general election.
Yet the establishment, and the billionaires, with all their money,
cant seem to do a darned thing to stop Trump. So much for
money buying elections. Media matter much more than money.
And yet, the media are also curiously powerless here. If the
news media actually operated like the tacit conspiracy that many
conservatives imagine, we would have all quietly gotten together
and agreed to bury Trump. He could rant in the privacy of his own
home, as reporters graciously declined to broadcast his latest pronouncements. Instead, every time he says something, everyone in
the media rushes to condemn, fact-check, analyze, highlight, mutilate, fold and spindle it. All this media outrage, of course, only

Art has power to help us

find common purpose

n times of tragedy, classical music is automatically summoned for comfort. Giving succor after a terrorist attack as
Barbers Adagio for Strings did in a Paris memorial to victims
recently is unquestionably noble employment. Providing essential time and space for reflection is musics matchless way of
offering thoughts and prayers.
Dare we ask music for action to accompany empathy, as some
have asked of officials in the wake of the San Bernardino shooting?
This fall, Siglio Press published a handsome edition of John
Cages Diary: How to Improve the World (You Will Only Make
Matters Worse), the first gathering of the public and poetic responses to whatever momentarily struck the composer between
the years 1965 and 1982. As Cages title (if not the diary text itself )
warns, we need to be careful. Artists through history can, and
indeed have, made matters worse.
Many of us know about the influence of Wagners anti-Semitic
screeds. But great composers also have made matters worse
even without meaning to. An ardent champion of democracy,
Beethoven was the first notable composer to take a daring public
stance politically in his music. Fidelio and the Ninth Symphony
reach ecstatic heights espousing the overthrow of tyranny in the
opera and promotion of collective brotherhood in the symphony.
Beethoven thought in universal terms, but that didnt stop the
Nazis from trying to pervert the composers message and use
these works to stir up popular feelings of German supremacy.
Art is powerful, and all things powerful, no matter how good for
us, can be dangerous. If that environmentally friendly new Tesla
in the garage includes the option for ludicrous acceleration,
you can mow down someone at 60 mph in less than three seconds
after hitting the accelerator pedal.
Evidence that terrorists understand and also fear the force
of art and culture can be assumed from the Talibans banning

In our words

Goodwill for all

THE ISSUE
In last Sundays LNP, members of the local Muslim community said they had not
encountered the anti-Islamic bigotry that has surfaced in Philadelphia and elsewhere
in the country since the Dec. 2 terrorist shootings in San Bernardino, California. A
Franklin & Marshall College student was disciplined following an incident in which
a can of beer was thrown in the direction of three Afghan refugee children who were
walking past an off-campus party on Dec. 5, but F&M officials maintain that was an
accident. More than 1,000 Muslims reside in this county.

Lancaster County continues to be a place

where goodwill isnt seasonal for many, its a
way of life.
While other communities have seen incidents of anti-Muslim violence in recent weeks,
Muslims here say theyve been met mostly
with an outpouring of support.
When Dr. Tipu Saleem, an endocrinologist in
private practice, learned the San Bernardino
terrorists were Muslim, he worried that he and
his family might encounter some anti-Muslim
sentiment.
Instead, he told LNP, his neighbors and people in his workplace reached out to him.
When a beer can was thrown from a thirdfloor landing of the so-called football leadership house on North Pine Street in Lancaster
city, it landed near three Afghan refugee children one of whom was a teenage girl wearing a hijab, or head scarf. The children were
sprayed with beer, and walked away. A witness
described them as sad and embarrassed.
That witness, Jacob Zug, didnt simply ignore what he saw. He recounted it to LNP,
and shared his concern for the children with a
friend who runs a salon in the neighborhood.
She called the police, and related the story on
Facebook, where neighbors declared their support for the children and their family.
F&M officials said the responding officers
determined that the beer can had not been
thrown intentionally. The student was punished by the college, and he apologized to the
children and their family. We hope that in the
days to come, F&M officials are more forthcoming about just how thoroughly the incident
was investigated.
What we know for sure is that the support
shown to those refugee children and their family is inspiring.
Theres a reason the Lancaster County Refugee Coalition calls this county a significant
hub for refugee resettlement in Pennsylvania,
second only to the Philadelphia area in the
number of refugees resettled each year.

see welcoming people of different religious and

cultural backgrounds as part of what theyre
called to do.
And they recognize the distinction between
Islamist extremists such as, allegedly, the
young Harrisburg man arrested Thursday by
federal agents and their Muslim neighbors,
co-workers and acquaintances.
That was obvious Thursday evening, when
hundreds of county residents crowded into
Penn Square for a candlelight vigil in solidarity with local Muslims on a rainy night close to
Christmas.
After joking about how he relished the opportunity to speak in front of a Christmas tree,
Rabbi Jack Paskoff of Congregation Shaarai
Shomayim told the Hebrew Scriptures story
of Abrahams son, Ishmael, whom Muslims regard as a prophet.
A young Buddhist woman led those gathered
in chanting. Members of Community Mennonite Church of Lancaster sang a Syrian carol in
Arabic.
A young Muslim man demonstrated his
faiths call to prayer. Mukaram Syed, a board
member at the Islamic Community Center of
Lancaster, began his remarks with a traditional
Muslim greeting that translates to Peace be to
you, and declared, This is what America is all
about. Lancaster shines like a beacon of light.
A Presbyterian minister, the Rev. Randy
Riggs, who is president-elect of the Lancaster
County Council of Churches, read an Advent
poem.
And Lancaster Mayor Rick Gray spoke of
how Pennsylvania was founded by William
Penn as a place where people could practice
their religion freely. That history of support
for religious freedom is our present and our
future, he said.
This week, many of us will celebrate Christmas in a diverse array of churches. But like
those in Penn Square Thursday evening, were
all one people, living in a county and a country
where were grateful to be.

KRAUTHAMMER
THE WASHINGTON POST

Obama foreign policy

legacy built on fictions
WASHINGTON Last
Saturday, President
Barack Obama gained
the second jewel in his
foreign policy triple
crown: the Paris climate
accord. It follows his Iran
nuclear deal and awaits
the closing of Guantanamo to complete his
glittering legacy.
To be sure, Obama will
not be submitting the
climate agreement for
Senate ratification. It
would have no chance
of passing as with the
Iranian nuclear deal,
also never submitted for
the Senate ratification
Obama knew hed never
get. And if he does close
Guantanamo, it will be in
defiance of overwhelming bipartisan congressional opposition.
You see, visionary
thinkers such as Obama
cannot be bound by
normal constitutional
strictures. Indeed, the
very unpopularity of his
most cherished diplomatic goals is proof of their
prophetic farsightedness.
Yet the climate deal
brought back from Paris
by Secretary of State John
Kerry turns out to be no
deal at all. No enforcement, no sanctions, nothing legally binding. No
matter, explained Kerry
on Fox News Sunday:
This mandatory reporting requirement ... is a
serious form of enforcement, if you will, of compliance, but there is no
penalty for it, obviously.
If you think thats gibberish, youre not alone.
NASA scientist James
Hansen, Americas leading carbon abolitionist,
indelicately called the
whole deal bulls---.
Hes right.
The great Paris achievement is supposed to be
global transparency.
But what can that possibly amount to when
you cant even trust the
reporting? Just three
months ago, the worlds
greatest carbon emitter,
China, admitted to having
underreported its burning of coal by 17 percent, a
staggering error (assuming it wasnt a deliberate
deception) equal to the
entire coal consumption
of Germany.
Im a climate-change
agnostic. But Im realistic enough to welcome
prudent hedging against
a possible worst-case scenario. Ive long advocated
for a multilateral agreement (unilateral U.S.
actions being climatically
useless and economically
suicidal) negotiated with
the most important players say, India, China
and the European Union
containing real limits,
real numbers and real enforcement. That would be
a genuine achievement.
What the climatechange conference
produced instead was
hot air, applauded by 196
well-fed participants.
(Fourteen nights in Paris,
after all.) China promises
to begin reducing carbon
emissions 15 years from

now. India announced it

will be tripling its coalfired electricity capacity
by 2030. Meanwhile, the
Obama administration is
effectively dismantling
Americas entire coal
industry.
Looking for guidance
on how the U.S. will fare
under this new environmental regime? Take a
glance at Obamas other
great triumph, the Iran
nuclear accord.
Does the American
public know that the
Iranian parliament has
never approved it? And
that the Iranian president has never signed
it? Iran is not legally
bound to anything. As the
State Department freely
admitted (in a letter to
Rep. Mike Pompeo of
the House Intelligence
Committee), the deal is
not a treaty or an executive agreement, and is
not a signed document.
But dont worry. Its success will depend not on
whether it is legally binding or signed, but rather
on the extensive verification measures and our
capacity to reimpose
and ramp up our
sanctions if Iran does not
meet its commitments.
And how is that going?
On Nov. 21, Iran
conducted its second
test of a nuclear-capable
ballistic missile in direct
contravention of two
U.N. Security Council
prohibitions, including
one that incorporates the
current nuclear agreement which bans such
tests for eight years.
Our response? After
Irans first illegal launch
in October, the administration did nothing. A
few words at the United
Nations. Werent we repeatedly assured that any
Iranian violation would
be met with vigorous
action? No worry, again.
As U.N. Ambassador
Samantha Power told a
congressional hearing last
week, discussions are a
form of U.N. action.
The heart sinks.
It was obvious from the
very beginning that the
whole administration
promise of snapback
sanctions was a farce.
The Iranians knew it.
Hence their contempt
for even the prospect of
American pushback: two
illegal missile launches
conducted ostentatiously
even before sanctions
are lifted and before they
receive their $150 billion
in unfrozen assets early
next year.
Why not? They know
Obama will ignore, downplay and explain away any
violation, lest it jeopardize his transformative
foreign policy legacy.
Its a legacy of fictional
agreements. The proliferators and the polluters
are not bound. By our
own volition, we are.
Only Guantanamo remains. Within a month,
one-sixth of the remaining prisoners will be
released. Obama will not
be denied.

Nonbelievers
deserve a break
It disappoints me to see that LNP
is becoming a Christian-based paper.
You advertise as a newspaper
for all people, yet the first letter
on last Sundays Op-Ed page was
once again about sinning and not
believing in Jesus (Sin is at root of
violence).
Many of us are good and loving,
whether faith-based or nonbelieving. One need not believe to be respectful and honest. One need not
be Christian not to harm another.
It is time to stop publishing the
view that one needs to believe in
Jesus to be a good person. Let the
priests and churches preach God,
not your paper.

Author tackles
societal ills
I very much agree with Scott
Beedles letter (Sin is at root of
violence, Dec. 13), in which he
identifies the fundamental reason
for our nations ills and for those
throughout the world.
He (and you) might be interested in a recently published book,
Choosing Americas Destiny, by
James Jay Madison, who lives in
Lancaster County, according to his
biography.
This book analyzes the destructive trends in American society
during recent decades. It also describes how human nature, as defined by the seven deadly sins,
must be altered if America, Western civilization, or any civilization
can avoid destruction.

Gun control fix

doesnt add up
According to Eugene Robinson,
of The Washington Post, guns are
used in shootings (Given US firearm body count, its irrational to
ignore guns, Sunday Conversation, Dec. 6)!
Robinsons first sentence is a
classic of insightful liberal commentary: The common denominator in mass shootings is the use
of firearms. Thank you, Capt. Obvious!
Robinsons bottom line is also
obvious: gun control. A few insights Robertson ignores: California has some of the toughest gun
laws in the nation; people who are
intent on breaking the law dont
obey these laws (obvious); the
United States has more gun deaths
than other developed nations because the U.S. has more people
(obvious).
When figured on a per capita

In a nation where there

are about 100 million
guns, the notion of
really controlling
guns is absurd.

basis, numbers of mass shootings victims in the U.S. fall behind countries such as Norway,
Sweden and Switzerland, which
have very restrictive gun laws.
Whats the answer? At the
risk of being mocked on the
front page of the New York Daily News, Ill say please pray for
our nation.

Flat-tax plans would

keep the deck stacked

First in war,
first in violence

George Wills column (Progressive taxation built on shaky

premises, Dec. 6) on the merits
(or lack thereof ) of progressive
taxation was, at best, uneven.
Known for his conservative commentary, he neednt concern
himself with facts in his ideological rhetoric.
Extolling the virtues of selfreliance and economic incentives of investment (remember
the trickle down, supply-side
economics of the 1980s, when
every benefit imaginable was bestowed upon the job creators?)
and warning of the moral implications of the redistribution of
wealth (aka makers versus takers), he remained silent on the
virtues of trade skills, labor and
the toil of common working-class
people.
He mentions not a word about
the United States unfathomable
wealth being consolidated, not
from the top to the bottom, but
from the middle class to the top
through the reverse-Robin-Hood
national policies of the past 35
years.
So steeped is his narrative in
conservatism forget the balance between supply versus demand, or production versus consumer vitality, yin versus yang
he considers the consolidation
of wealth to the top a natural,
healthy outcome of capitalism.
And any attempt at balance between moneyed interests and
We the people equals theft by
the majority.
What we need is not Wills scholarly but obscure citations from
Blum and Kalvan (malcontents
who opposed Franklin Roosevelts
New Deal), but a renewed look at
the results of the New Deal: marginal rates at 90 percent, the Fair
Labor Standards Act, the National
Labor Relations Board, the GlassSteagall Act.
All fortified our middle-class
consumer economy, and all
were met with bitter cries of
protest from the financial/business sectors and profit protectors in Congress that claimed
they were unconstitutional,
an infringement on freedoms,
socialism, etc. Sound familiar?
Kerry Hyman
Ephrata

It is generally recognized that

the United States of America is
like no other country in mass
shootings. In what other big
things are we like no other country? In what other ways are we
exceptional?
We have an exceptionally
large military machine and
war department. We are exceptionally ready to use war as the
first instrument of diplomacy.
We have an exceptionally large
number of corporations and
people who have made and are
making exceptional wealth
from our national policy of perpetual war. None of this is small
it is all big.
Now we seek an answer to our
exceptional problem of mass
shootings (How do we prevent
mass shootings? Editorial, Dec.
6). But here we have a problem.
It seems we want a relatively
small answer to an indisputably
large problem. Is this reasonable?
What if our corporate psyche/
ideology is shaping the psyche
and ideology of individuals in our
culture? If we think, as a nation,
that we can solve the shootings
problem with a bigger gun, is it
really likely that we wont have
individuals who think the same
thing?
But, you say, such behavior
by individuals is irrational and
sick.
Can any nation advocate
overwhelming violence on the
wholesale level and not, after
some passage of time, find it impossible to restrain it on the retail level? I simply pose this as a
question.

Trump should
run with rapper
If you subscribe to the notion that a business leader such
as Donald Trump would make
a great presidential candidate,
then its a short leap to the idea
that an entertainer might make
a great vice-presidential candidate.
Perhaps The Donald should
get ahead of the nomination
process and reach out to Kanye
West to explore the option of
enlisting him as his running
mate. After all, weve had entertainers in the White House
before, so why not West as vice
president?
Obviously, West is recognizable to the millennial voting bloc,
could provide inroads to minority
constituencies and, at the same
time, add a level of impulsive drama never before seen. He and his
delightful wife, Kim Kardashian,
would add an unpredictable elegance to state functions.

Will we speak out

for the Muslims?
The following words, written
by a Lutheran pastor in Germany
during the postwar period, are
eerily appropriate to revisit today.
During the early rise of Adolf Hitler, the Rev. Martin
Niemoller was a supporter and,
by his own admission, an antiSemite. He would write these
words as a warning to us all
about how horribly easy it is to
be absorbed in nationalistic insanity.
Please read these words slowly
and substitute, if you will, Muslim within the context. There
are many differing versions of
Neimollers text, but I think you
will get the point:
First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist.
Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the trade
unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist
Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me.

WILLIAM P. KIEHL
SPECIAL TO LNP

We need to stop conflating

mass shootings, terrorism
These days wherever one looks, it seems the
same three phrases keep intruding on the holiday
spirit: terrorism, mass shootings and gun
control.
Given the precarious state of the world, it is
not unreasonable to have these subjects on ones
mind. The problem is that in the minds of too
many people these three quite distinct subjects
are conflated.
Terrorism, mass shootings and gun control are
not the same thing, no matter how various politicians try to spin them. As the saying goes, dont
mix apples and oranges.
The latest permutation on this theme by Dannel
Malloy, the grandstanding Democratic governor
of Connecticut, is to ban the sale of guns to anyone on the terrorist no-fly list. Aside from the
practicalities that this would do nothing to affect
terrorism, about 40 percent of the names on that
list are erroneous and in the past have included
such terrorists as the late Sen. Ted Kennedy.
Terrorism today is really the No. 1 immediate
threat in the perception of most Americans. It
is not climate change, no matter how fervently
some may believe it.
Terrorism can be dealt with effectively and
quickly if we have the political will and the courage to lead. As Ive discussed in an earlier column
(Eliminate Islamic State, with all force necessary, Nov. 23), we need to mobilize NATO and
moderate Sunni Arab states to conduct a real air
and ground war against the Islamic State group
(or Daesh, as I prefer to call it since the terrorists find that term insulting) and destroy it. Mass
shootings and gun control really are not part of
this puzzle.
Mass shootings are terrible tragedies and
some are the result of terrorist operations, to be
sure but they are mainly a mental health problem. Unstable, angry people strike out at the rest
of society sometimes their own family members, sometimes their co-workers, sometimes for
a vaguely defined political motive, sometimes
randomly or for no reason at all.
It is likely that they would use a bomb, knife or
some other weapon if a gun was not handy. And
yes, a gun is a more effective killing tool than a
boxcutter or a kitchen knife, but weve seen some
pretty awful damage done even with those crude
tools.
The worst mass killing of schoolchildren in the
United States was not by guns at Sandy Hook
Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut,
but in Bath Township, Michigan, in 1927, when
45 people, including 38 children, were killed by a
bomb.
Mass killings cannot be completely prevented
but better mental health screenings before allowing access to weapons, better laws and regulations
regarding mental health issues and more public
awareness of the problem can help to reduce
these tragedies.
Gun control is an issue every time there is a
mass killing. But sadly, most deaths caused by
guns are suicides, followed by gang violence and
drive-by shootings, often drug-related.
In a nation where there are about 100 million
guns, the notion of really controlling guns is absurd. States and localities that have tried stricter
and stricter gun regulation have not seen any
positive results any more so than those localities
doing little or nothing.
Criminals always will find a way to acquire
weapons. Gun violence is actually declining
as gun ownership increases, but that is more
because of demographic changes, better policing
and societal shifts.
Even those common sense measures, which
have overwhelming support among the public
such as closing the gun show loophole people
now are allowed to buy firearms at gun shows
without undergoing background checks actually would do little or nothing to prevent violence
from happening.
California has such a regulation already in
place, yet we know that the San Bernardino terrorists acquired their heavy weapons from their
neighbor without any notice to the authorities. So
much for that closed loophole!
It is a complicated world we live in; lets not
make it even more complicated by conflating terrorism, mass shootings and gun control.
Or for that matter, as one bombastic political
contender has recently done linking religion,
immigration and our personal security.

PERSPECTIVE

SUNDAY, DECEMBER 20, 2015

LNP | LANCASTER, PA

Smith-Wade-El
MARK R. WENGER
MATTERS OF FAITH

A question to consider:
What to do with Jesus?
What will you do with Jesus? It is a basic
question. Jesus is arguably the most influential person in global history. Billions of
people around the world mark his birthday this week at Christmas.
Two books in the Bible tell the story of
Jesus birth: the Gospels of Matthew and
Luke. Jesus is a refugee baby laid in a
manger because there wasnt room anywhere else, and later, carried into Egypt by
his parents to escape a murderous king.
What to do with Jesus? Shepherds, Magi,
the Establishment each circle responded to Jesus differently.
The shepherds, camping outdoors with
their sheep, did not have a cushy career.
They were poor, far from the centers of
power and influence. Yet angels from God
blazed into their darkness, announcing
the news of a marvelous birth in nearby
Bethlehem.
The shepherds hustled into town. Sure
enough, they found baby Jesus lying in a
manger. Mary and Joseph were nearby.
Afterward, the shepherds couldnt help
themselves. They told everyone they met
about what they had heard and seen.
As it was for the shepherds, meeting Jesus for the first time is a fantastic experience for some people. It is simple joy, love
at first sight. The message is full of hope.
They encounter Jesus, and their world
changes. They are glowing and cant stop
talking. Theyve done little study, so their
journey to Jesus is quick and short, full of
childlike wonder.
The Magi took a much longer and more
complicated route to Jesus. They studied
the evidence, weighed the options. After
seeing an unusual star, they understood it
to signal a royal birth. So they set out on
a long journey in the hope of finding the
newborn king.
The Magi exercised impeccable reasoning. They stopped at King Herods palace in
Jerusalem where else? and inquired
about the newborn Jewish king. But there
was no baby in the palace. Instead, the religious experts pointed to nearby Bethlehem.
Thats where ancient prophecies predicted
the Messiah would be born. And thats
where the Magi found Jesus.
I know people whose encounter with
Jesus took place after a long and arduous
search, like the Magis. These folks were
drawn by a longing in their souls, or by
meeting people with a spiritual love and
humility that intrigued them. Perhaps a
mysterious experience in life or nature set
them on a pilgrimage.
They set out to seek and find Jesus, if
indeed he could be found. They talked to
spiritual guides, read books, examined the
data. And by the grace of God, they were
led to an encounter with Jesus. Deeply
touched, they put their ample gifts at his
disposal.
The Establishment in Jerusalem,
however, responded to the news of Jesus
birth very differently than the shepherds
and Magi. King Herod and the religious
experts were threatened, and they were
scared. They worried about protecting
themselves and their way of life.
Doesnt that sound a bit like the Americans too fearful to accept Syrian refugees
into our neighborhoods? Think of it: a king
and religious establishment spooked by
the report of a newborn baby!
So King Herod tried to trick the Magi
into telling him where to find the baby
Jesus. When that failed, he massacred all
the children 2 years and younger in and
around Bethlehem. Meanwhile, Joseph,
Mary and baby Jesus fled to Egypt as
refugees.
Shepherds. Magi. The Establishment.
Each with different and contrasting responses to Jesus. Whose company do you
keep?
One more story poses the question more
sharply. Its told by sociologist and pastor
Tony Campolo in his book, Who Switched
the Price Tags?
A little boy in Poland in the 1940s survived
the Nazi massacre of the Jews in his village.
He played dead as machine guns killed his
family and neighbors. The mass grave was so
shallow that he could still breathe through
the thin cover of dirt over the bodies.
That night the boy clawed his way out.
He went to the nearest house and begged
for help. The door closed in his face. He
tried at another house, and another.
Then something guided him to say something unusual for a Jewish boy. When the
next family responded to his knocking
in the dark of night, they heard him cry,
Dont you recognize me? I am the Jesus
you say you love.
After a weighty pause, the woman in
the doorway swept him into her arms and
kissed him. From that day on, the family
cared for the boy as one of their own.
What will you do with Jesus?

too upbeat a song for that

horrific day, but it offered me a prescription
for getting through the
hours until I could join my
husband, my mother and
the rest of my family at a
special church service that
had been hurriedly scheduled for that evening.
Not questioning the
unexpected bounty, my
children happily unwrapped the presents
colorful umbrellas and
paraded around our living
room with them. I didnt
even worry that opening
an umbrella indoors would
bring bad luck raining
down on us. Given the day,
that superstitious concern
seemed to have been rendered moot.

Christmas present
Im feeling something
similar now not the
searing pain of 9/11, but the
sadness and uncertainty of
its aftermath, and a longing for Christmas.
The peace of Christmas.
The hope it represents.
And the joy it brings.
I started watching
Christmas movies in midNovember. I generally try
to follow my late fathers
rule Christmas movies
and music shouldnt be on
until Thanksgiving, and

should continue being

played until Jan. 6, because
Christmas is a season, not
a day but I had a respiratory infection that kept
me on the couch for the
weekend. And once again,
I needed a little Christmas.
Im guessing other
people have been eager for
Christmas, too, because
the neighborhoods near
my own were decorated
earlier than usual this
year. Maybe it was the unseasonably warm autumn,
which provided more
opportunities for outside
decorating. Or maybe it
was this tumultuous year
weve had.
On the morning of the
day wed set aside to cut
down our Christmas tree,
I declared to my family,
Its tree day! Now, I love
getting a Christmas tree as
much as anybody else, but
Im pretty sure Ive never
exclaimed, Its tree day!
before. My husband and
children, to their credit,
didnt make fun of me.
They knew I needed tree
day.
My job isnt as difficult
isnt even in the same
neighborhood of difficulty
as, say, coal mining or
nursing or cleaning hotel
rooms or any job in the
U.S. military. Im incredibly lucky to have a job that
is both challenging and
rewarding.

as well as the Islamic State

But back to Beethoven,
whose symphonies were
played, recorded, broadcast and streamed this
season, seemingly even
more than usual. Early
in the fall at Walt Disney
Concert Hall, Gustavo
Dudamel ended his cycle
of Beethoven symphonies
with a Ninth of tremendous intensity meant
to remind players and
listeners of the priorities
of citizenship. The orchestra included members of
the Los Angeles Philharmonic and Simon Bolivar
Symphony Orchestra of
Venezuela.
This has not been an
encouraging year for diplomatic relations between

the would-be snow. We are beset by

fear that prevents us from welcoming, and anger that prevents us from
loving. We are, truly, experiencing a
crisis of faith. I do not here refer to
anyones Christian, Jewish, Sikh or
Muslim faith. Rather, we lack faith,
accountability and trust in each
other, and in ourselves.
When we observe poverty, selfishness, overconsumption, all the
myriad personal and political ills
of this world, we seek to blame first
(because it is easier) instead of offering solutions, and often we do not
ask of ourselves the things we ask of
others. We too often despair in the
face of suffering, which only serves
to magnify it.
These are the times for which
hope was made. They are not
uniquely dark, but they often seem
that way.
This must all sound rather trite.
But think of the little girl who travels with her family halfway across
the world to find safety from a thing

being an Opinion editor

is that I cant turn away
from the abrasiveness of
the rhetoric people now
employ against those with
whom they disagree.

Hoping for a truce

I think Im hoping that
Christmas brings a ceasefire to hostilities.
If such a thing can happen on actual battlefields,
perhaps it can happen on
Facebook.
Last year, the English
supermarket chain Sainsburys ran a TV commercial re-creating the
Christmas truce of 1914.
That year, Pope Benedict XV called for a
Christmas truce in the
fighting of what we now
know as World War I.
No official truce was
declared, and the fighting continued in some
areas. But along parts
of the front, German
and British troops sang
Christmas carols to each
other across battle lines,
emerged from the trenches into No Mans Land,
and exchanged gifts and
took photos, according
to the BBC.
No official truce was
declared, and the fighting continued on Christmas along much of the
Western front. But along
parts of the front, a scattered series of small-scale

a man who I still dont think will be

the Republican nominee, much less
the president of the United States.
Its obvious that media moguls
didnt meet in a smoky back room
to silence coverage of Trump. But
theres a slightly more plausible
theory: That the Hillary Clinton
supporters among the news media
see Trumps nomination as the best
thing that could possibly happen
for the Democratic Party. Unless
the Grand Old Party nominated the
disinterred corpse of Richard Nixon,

the U.S. and Venezuela. In March, President

Barack Obama declared
Venezuela a threat to our
national security. Venezuelas president blamed
the U.S. for much of the
countrys economic dysfunction, which includes
triple-digit inflation,
shortages of basic goods,
and diminishment of
services.
Dudamels efforts
for his country have
been in his advocacy of
El Sistema, the music
education system that he
says now reaches 700,000
children, most of them
in the countrys poorest
communities. In a Los
Angeles Op-Ed column in
The Times, the conductor
wrote that this program
must transcend the politics of a divided country.
But the program is
funded and administered by the executive
branch of an increasingly
unpopular government
accused of human rights
violations. This has made

she does not fully understand. Consider the nurse, who heals others
by day and by night waits with her
mother, whose sickness she cannot
heal. Maybe you know a person who
feels alone in a room with his or her
own family and friends but goes to
be with them anyway, in hopes that
this year will be different. Think of
all those who work so that suffering
may cease and never again exist.
These are those who hope against
hope, whom T.E. Lawrence called
the dreamers of the day. He
regarded them as dangerous for
they may act their dreams with open
eyes, to make it possible. They are
not always wise, but what they may
achieve and feel are incredible. And
you, when you hope against hope,
are incredible, too.
There is hope in the world; it is
obvious, despite whatever darkness there may be. It is in interlaced
fingers, and warm socks, and in
working in the cold to keep someone
else warm this Christmas. Its in the
light of a childs eyes. It is the spirit
of little Virginia.
Merry Christmas!

ceasefires did happen between some German and

British forces, according
to the BBC. These troops
sang Christmas carols to
each other across battle
lines on Christmas Eve,
then emerged from the
trenches into No Mans
Land on Christmas Day,
and exchanged gifts and
took photos, the BBC
said. The break in the
fighting also served as a
chance to tend to the
dead and wounded of No
Mans Land.
The truth of that truce
has been embellished
over the years because, I
think, people believe in
the power of Christmas to
halt even the worst forces
at work in the world.
I certainly do.
It cant stop illness from
taking over a persons life;
it cant erase grief over
the loss of a loved one.
But it can bring moments
of grace and even joy.
It cant heal an elderly
parents dementia. But it
might bring back a longlost memory.
It cant end poverty and
hunger. But it can inspire
those with means to help
those in need.
It cant eliminate our
disagreements. But it can
encourage us to debate
our differences of opinion
with genuine goodwill.
So welcome, Christmas.
Weve been waiting for
you.

theres probably no surer path to

Clintons victory.
Its a slightly more plausible theory, but lets get real: Journalists
are covering Trump because hes
newsworthy. Its an unintended
side effect that coverage of Trump
helps Clinton.
Theres the great irony in
Trumps rise. Trump supporters think theyre striking a blow
against the liberal establishment. In
fact theyre nudging it more firmly
into place.

Dudamel unpopular with

the governments growing
opposition, which won a
landslide victory in recent
legislative elections.
The doctrine of El
Sistema is that making
music is, itself, a human
right, and its one right the
country does honor. It is
written into the Venezuelan constitution. But it is
the making of music that
Sistema preaches, not so
much the significance of
any specific piece, although Beethovens Ninth
is a favorite.
Dudamels Ninth in
Disney Hall didnt fix
Venezuelas economy or
resolve the diplomatic
impasse between our
two countries. Still, such
commitment and care by
the combined orchestras
demonstrated an uncommon effort toward common purpose, an assertion
we are all in this together,
and the humanity that we
share should be where we
put our attention.
Obviously, making music

cannot halt terrorism,

heal the environment or
solve the worlds other
great problems. But in its
insistence on cooperation
from its practitioners and
demand for mindfulness
from its listeners, music
can help open dialogue.
From the practice of listening can come a little understanding, then concern and
maybe even a ping of compassion. Finally we may be
ready for a discussion as
a meaningful first step in
actually doing something.
Changing things radically, Cage writes at one
point in his diary, is simple. You merely change
your mind. Art alone may
not be up to this, but it
does have a knack for
opening minds, thus making them more susceptible
to change.
We are, in December,
more apprehensive than
we were in January. Let
us now wander into 2016
knowing just a little bit
better that it doesnt have
to be that way.

Republican consensus
an endangered species

Americans on the left and the right think

that the folks running the country have an
agenda different from theirs.

JONAH GOLDBERG
SYNDICATED COLUMNIST

Whats eating America?

Perhaps its a lack of trust
We have people across this country who are scared to death, New
Jersey Gov. Chris Christie declared
loudly at last weeks Republican
presidential debate in Las Vegas.
Virtually the entire debate was
based on this premise. Which is
understandable. Since the bloody
Islamist attacks in Paris and San Bernardino, terrorism has shot up as the
chief concern for most Americans,
particularly Republican voters.
For most of 2015, the countrys
mood, and thus the presidential
election, was defined by anger and
the unevenness of the economic
recovery, pollster Fred Yang, of Hart
Research Associates, explained on
the release of the latest NBC News/
Wall Street Journal poll. Now that
has abruptly changed to fear.
Only 34 percent approve of President Barack Obamas handling of the
Islamic State group, according to the
poll, and more Americans are worried about terrorism than at any time
since the aftermath of 9/11.
This abrupt change explains why
Hillary Clinton is suddenly talking
much tougher about terrorism and
why the president is keen to get some
good national security photo ops in
before he leaves for vacation.
But I cant shake the sense that
the polls, politicians and my fellow
pundits are mistaking a symptom for
the disease.
We live in an anxious age. That
anxiety runs like a river beneath the
political landscape. Different news
events tap into that river and release
a geyser of outrage and fear. Right
now, mostly on the right, its terrorism. Before that, it was Mexicans
illegally sneaking into our country.
Sometime before that, there was the
freak-out over Ebola and the administrations aloofness about it.
One common explanation for the
anxious age is that the economy is
undergoing a profound transformation that is leaving a lot of people on
the sidelines. It seems obvious to me
theres a lot of merit to this explanation.
But I dont think that economics
explains everything. Seventy percent
of Americans think the country is
on the wrong track. Many of those
people are doing just fine economically.
No, I think the missing piece of the
puzzle is the fact that Americans
on the left and the right think that
the folks running the country have
an agenda different from theirs.
The left has a much richer vocabulary for such claims, given its ancient
obsessions with greed and economic
determinism. They see big corpora-

tions and the so-called 1 percent

pulling strings behind the scenes.
(Watch literally any Bernie Sanders
speech on YouTube to learn more.)
Paranoia about the influence of big
money in politics has inspired the
Democratic front-runner to make
revising the First Amendment a top
priority.
But while there are a great many
people on the right who also complain about crony capitalism and
special interests, such concerns dont
get to the heart of the anxiety, at least
not for conservatives.
Lets go back to where we started.
Christie says, We have people
across this country who are scared
to death. No doubt thats true. But
for a great many of them, I suspect,
the fear is not so much a fear of the
Islamic State but a fear that our
own government, starting with the
president, just doesnt take terrorism seriously. We now know he was
very late in taking the Islamic State
seriously.
I suspect most conservatives think
that if America marshaled sufficient
will to defeat the Islamic State, wed
make short work of it. Obama has
no interest in such an undertaking.
He reserves his passion for attacking
Republicans or pushing his other priorities, such as climate change, which
persistently remains a very, very low
priority for most Americans.
But the president himself is a
symptom. The whole system seems
to have lost its mind. That theres
even a debate about whether security
officials should be allowed to look
at the social media posts of immigrants is a sign that our bureaucrats
have such open minds their brains
have fallen out. We should have seen
this coming five years ago, when we
learned that Obama told the new
head of NASA to make one of his top
priorities outreach to the Muslim
world.
Terrorism is a big concern, but
this sense that the political system
is unresponsive, unaccountable and
operating on its own self-interested
ideological agenda is bigger. It is the
complaint that explains everything,
from enduring outrage over the lies
that greased Obamacares passage
to fury over illegal immigration,
disgust over corruption at the IRS
and the Veterans Administration, the
immortality of the Export-Import
Bank, and countless other outrages
du jour.
The failure of credible politicians
to address this anxiety created an
opportunity for Donald Trump. At
least hes willing to say Washington
is stupid.

WASHINGTON It is no longer
possible to think of the Republican
Party as a coherent political force.
It is nothing of the sort and the
Donald Trump insurgency should
be seen as a symptom of the partys
disintegration, not the cause.
I realize this may seem an odd
assessment of a party that controls
both houses of Congress, 32 governorships and two-thirds of state
legislative chambers. The desire to
win and hold power is one thing the
partys hopelessly disparate factions
agree on; staunch and sometimes
blind opposition to President Barack
Obama and the Democrats is another. After those, its hard to think of
much else.
It makes no sense anymore to
speak of the GOP without specifying which one. The party that celebrates immigration as central to the
American experiment or the one that
wants to round up 11 million people
living here without papers and kick
them out? The party that believes in
U.S. military intervention and seeding the world with democratic values
or the one that believes strife-torn
nations should have to depose their
own dictators and resolve their own
civil wars? The party that represents
the economic interests of business
owners or the one that voices the
anxieties of workers?
All of these conflicts were evident
Tuesday night at the presidential
candidates debate in Las Vegas. It
was compelling theater Trump
mugging and shrugging for the
cameras, Jeb Bush gamely steeling
himself to go on the attack, Ted Cruz
and Marco Rubio waging a one-onone battle, Chris Christie vowing
to shoot down Russian jets over
Syria, Ben Carson turning boots on
the ground into a mantra without
actually saying what he thinks about
deploying them.
A Republican optimist might praise
the candidates for airing serious
and important policy debates. A
realist would say this is a party that
appears to believe in anything, which
is the same as believing in nothing.
One of the more telling exchanges
came when Trump was asked
whether the United States was safer
with dictators running the troubled
nations of the Middle East. Trump
replied, In my opinion, weve spent
$4 trillion trying to topple various
people that frankly, if they were
there and if we could have spent that
$4 trillion in the United States to fix

our roads, our bridges, and all of the

other problems; our airports and all
of the other problems weve had, we
would have been a lot better off, I can
tell you that right now.
Carly Fiorina was aghast. That is
exactly what President Obama said,
she declared. Im amazed to hear
that from a Republican presidential
candidate.
Indeed, there once was broad
consensus within the party about the
advisability and legitimacy of forcing
regime change in pursuit of U.S.
interests. But toppling even such a
monster as Syrian dictator Bashar
Assad is opposed by Trump, Cruz and
Rand Paul who combined have the
support of 51 percent of Republican
voters, according to the Real Clear
Politics polling average. So apparently there isnt a Republican view
about foreign intervention anymore.
Nor is the party able to agree on immigration policy. Even if you somehow manage to look past Trumps
outrageous call for mass deportation,
there is no consensus for the course
of action favored by whats left of the
party establishment, which would
be to give undocumented migrants
some kind of legal status. The only
point of concord is the allegation
that Obama has failed to secure the
border, which is actually far more
secure than it was under George W.
Bush.
Once upon a time, the Republican
Partys position on a given issue
usually dovetailed nicely with the
views of business groups such as the
U.S. Chamber of Commerce. But
the chamber supports giving the
undocumented a path to legal status.
It also waxes rhapsodic about the
benefits of free trade for U.S. firms
and shareholders. Now, since Trump
opposes the Trans-Pacific Partnership pact (as does Mike Huckabee),
other candidates have had to mumble about waiting to see the details
before deciding pro or con.
The GOP electorate has changed;
its whiter, older, less educated and
more blue-collar than it used to be.
Many of todays Republicans dont
see globalization as an investment
opportunity; they see it as a malevolent force that has dimmed their
prospects. They dont see the shrinking of the white majority as natural
demographic evolution; they see it as
a threat.
One of our two major political
parties is factionalized and out of
control. That should worry us all.

Millersville University trio balance business, school and social lives

MIAH SHEPPERSON, 19

GNEXT@LNPNEWS.COM

t is not often within society today

that the phrase young entrepreneur is heard, especially with the
words college student and no degree obtained yet attached.
However, three Millersville University students can use these phrases to
describe themselves. Thomas Tchistiak, Andrew Higgins and Kenny Feliz
are trying to defy the odds with their
clothing line, Arbiton.
Started by Tchistiak in 2013, Arbiton
is a start-up brand that incorporates
minimalistic design and plans to offer
many different styles, Higgins said.
Tchistiak, who is graphic communications major with a minor in entrepreneurship, got his idea through his
desire to create.
He broke down his interests into three
categories, which are clothing, food and
music, and then decided that clothing
was the most feasible, Higgins said.
Tchistiaks love for creating has
evolved into what Arbiton is today.
As a graphic communications major,
Thomas has the ability to build skills
through his utilization of universitys
resources, Higgins said.

Higgins joined Arbiton shortly after

it began, and Feliz joined later. Both
Higgins and Feliz are public relations
majors, yet operate different angles of
Arbiton. Higgins handles business expansion, retail and photography, according to Tchistiak.
Kenny handles business deals and
sales, Tchistiak said. Together they
work to secure deals with retailers and
promote the brand.
Eventually the trio hope to expand
their team to include other driven, motivated and talented individuals who
can help expand the business, according to Higgins.
For now, they have seen success with
Arbiton. So far on Millersville campus
they have a had a pop-up shop, which
allowed fellow students to see and buy
their apparel on campus.
We have experienced a period of
rapid growth since we launched and
we have received media coverage from
online and print news sources because
of the first ever pop-up shop on Millersville Universitys campus, Higgins said.
Of course like any other business, the
members want their company to continue to gain new retailers to display
their apparel.

We plan to increase production so

we can fulfill large orders for larger retailers while also expanding our catalog to include outerwear, pants, shoes
and accessories, Higgins said.
The line is only available on Arbitons
website, arbitonstore.com, right now.
They also plan to increase the types
of apparel and designs offered to their
customers.
The line includes the Classic Series
T-shirts, as well as the Trojan Series
T-shirts. Both offer unique designs.
We also would like to collaborate
with artists to design products and even
create their own series, Higgins said.
Plans for Arbitons future include
expanding our team to include skilled
and driven individuals, so we can create new and innovative products and
we will work with local businesses to
design and print shirts for them as well
as offer web design services for them,
Higgins says.
While this may seem like a lot to take
on, on top of their college and social
life, they are optimistic about their future and what they are trying to create.
Clothing is powerful, it makes a
statement and that is exactly what we
hope to do, Higgins added.

THE LIST
READ

'The House on
Mango Street'

Sandra Cisneros
n The House on Mango
Street covers a year in the
life of Esperanza, who is
about 12 when the novel
begins. During the year, she
moves with her family into a
house on Mango Street. The
house is a huge improvement
from the family's previous
apartment, and it is the first
home her parents actually
own. However, the house
is not what Esperanza has
dreamed of, because it is rundown and small. Esperanza
matures significantly during
the year.

Blackstar

by David Bowie
n David Bowie has always
been weird, but Blackstar,
the first single from his
forthcoming album of the
same name, is more odd
than anything hes released
before. This near 10-minute
epic is a look into what
will surely be one of
Bowies most eclectic and
interesting works yet.
Jack Zuckerman, 17

The Blacklist

on NBC
n Red Reddington,
a former fugitive who
avoided the cops for years,
turns himself in and joins
forces with the police to
help catch deadly terrorists
previously unknown to
law enforcement. Red
operates a labyrinth that
he built during his fugitive
days, allowing him to
gather and manipulate
information in almost any
way he wants. He proves
to be a very big help in
taking down a list of most
wanted criminals.
Connor Whitacre, 18

n "Everyone in my family is

fashionable, so I try to please

is popular this year, with many
jeans being sold already ripped.

These rugged Timberlands are
popular among teen boys.

top-notch adaptation of
one of Stephen Kings

of the best onscreen
chemistry ever seen in a
teen comedy.

and George Knedeisen

Unlucky Louie showed up for

his penny game with a sore
throat and a raspy voice.
Why are you hoarse? Rose
asked him.
When we trimmed our tree,
Louie croaked, I accidentally
swallowed some of the
decorations.
Clearly, Cy the Cynic offered,
he has tinselitis.
Ill bet its been rowdy and
loud at your house over
Christmas, I said soothingly. I
knew Louies flock of children
and grandkids had been there.
Actually, it was a Christmas
miracle, Louie said. We
went three days without any
arguments.
When the game began, alas,
Louie didnt make it past the
first deal without an argument.
Louie and Cy were EastWest, and Cy led the ten of
diamonds against four spades.
Dummy played low, and Louie
took the queen and shifted to
the jack of hearts. South won
and let the queen of trumps
ride. Louie took the king and
led another heart.
South won, drew trumps and

led a diamond to the ace and a

diamond back. Louie took his
king, and South claimed; he
could pitch a club from dummy
on the high jack of diamonds.
You blew it, Cy growled at
Louie.
Incapable of a vocal reply,
Louie rolled his eyes as if he
thought Cy was batty.
The winning defense wasnt
obvious. Since Cys opening
lead is clearly the top of a
doubleton, and Louie has a
trump re-entry, Louie must
return a diamond at Trick Two.
If South wins with dummys
nine and leads the ace and a
second trump, Louie wins and
leads a third diamond. Cy ruffs
and exits safely with a heart,
and declarer must lose a club
for down one.

ones who might be having a
holiday party.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22)

You might be in the

midst of a difficult situation.
Try not to get involved,
and go on your merry way.

attention.

This Week: Handle a personal
issue first, then you can enjoy
the rest of the week.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20)

HHHH You might decide

that you need to use part of
the day to finish up some
holiday errands. Getting
everything done would be
nice, but you dont want

Cold weather safety

Mini Fact:

If you are out in the cold too long,

you could get frostbite. When this
happens, ice crystals form in the skin.
Symptoms of frostbite are pain in the
fingers, toes, nose, cheeks or ears. You
might also have blistered skin that is
glossy and hard to the touch. If this
happens, the adult looking after you
should:
call a doctor;
take you indoors;
have you wiggle the affected body
parts to increase blood supply to that area;
immerse your frozen part in warm,
not hot, water. Also, avoid getting warm
with high heat from fireplaces or stoves.
Dont rub or break blisters;

Christmas, Hanukkah and Kwanzaa are

joyous winter holidays when we celebrate with
family and friends. Make sure your family
enjoys the holiday season by staying safe. The
Mini Page offers some tips for safety during
these fun times.
Check your Christmas
lights for exposed or frayed
wires. Also look for loose
connections or broken
sockets. Replace any lights that arent in good
condition.
Remember to blow out
candles and keep matches
away from young children.
Candles should be at least
12 inches away from anything that can burn.
Make sure to keep a screen in front of
the fireplace, even if your home has a gasfueled fire.
Water your Christmas tree regularly. Dry
tree needles can be a fire hazard.
Put ornaments that are
breakable or have small parts at
the top of the tree, where little
kids cant reach them.
Some of the beautiful
plants of the season are
poisonous to humans and pets.
Keep these out of reach: mistletoe berry, holly
berry and Jerusalem cherry plants.
Keep batteries away from babies and
toddlers, especially the little button types.

192,000
children were
treated in
emergency
rooms for
toy-related
injuries.

Dress warmly

If you do plan to be outside playing

or helping with chores, take care to keep
warm. Dress in thin layers, including:

Practice food safety as you help prepare

goodies to eat. Wash your hands, utensils,
dishes and anything else that touches raw
meat, including poultry and fish, and raw
eggs before and after use. Store leftovers
properly and heat them thoroughly before
serving.

long johns
one or two
shirts
pants
sweater
coat

If a bike or skateboard is on your gift list,

make sure you also ask for a helmet to wear
while riding.
Turn off Christmas lights when you leave
the house or go to bed.
With a lot more cooking and baking
going on, and more people in the kitchen,
be extra careful around hot
stoves and open oven doors.
Keep your Christmas
tree in a sturdy stand that
wont tip over.
Ask an adult before
you try a drink. Some adult
drinks are not safe for kids.

warm socks
boots
gloves
mittens
hat
scarf

portion of the damaging runoff from
fertilizer used in agriculture.
