A final report from the state Department of Environmental Protection has concluded there is no dangerous radioactivity in Ten Mile Creek near the Clyde Mine Treatment Facility in Greene County.

“The results from testing conducted throughout 2016 were similar to those taken in 2015, at which time DEP concluded there was no risk of radioactivity,” John Stefanko, DEP’s executive deputy secretary for programs, said in a statement released Thursday.

n some ways, it has not been easy for Consol Energy and its coal mining operations in Greene and Washington counties.

Another page turns Tuesday in one chapter of that saga for Consol and its spinoff CNX Coal Resources LP, when a Washington, Pa.based environmental activist organization is to file its Bartolotta final argument in a state Environmental Hearing Board case over continued mining near Ryerson Station State Park in Greene County.

citing hazards coal extraction continues to pose for waterways in and near the park.

“The record demonstrates that various streams within the Bailey Lower East Expansion will suffer or have suffered subsidence-induced flow loss that necessitates disruptive post-mining stream mitigation,” according to an Oct. 21 filing by CCJ attorney Sarah E. Winner and cocounsel Ryan Hamilton of Fair Shake Environmental Legal Services in Pittsburgh.

At issue is a May 1, 2014, permit revision allowing Consol to conduct full-extraction longwall mining on 3,175 acres and then perform postmining stream restoration; and a Feb. 26, 2015, revision allowing full-extraction mining beneath Polen Run and above what are termed the 1L and 2L panels of the Bailey Lower East Expansion.

In a response filed with EHB on Nov. 21, Consol’s attorneys Howard J. Wein, Robert L. Burns Jr. and Megan S. Haines of Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney PC of Pittsburgh said the CCJ attorneys sought “an interpretation of the Clean Streams Law … which would effectively preempt the provisions of the Mine Subsistence Act (that) specifically allow planned subsidence.”

Winner and Hamilton denied that they sought what was termed “a zero-impact standard,” but did seek summary judgment, which was rejected on June 6 by EHB Judge Steven E. Beckman.

“It is not clear as a matter of law that the issuance of the permits

A3

heraldstandard.com | Monday, December 5, 2016 was prohibited by the Clean Streams Law and/ or the regulations,” Beckman wrote.

Spokespersons for Consol and the DEP said they could not comment on the matter, with DEP referring specifically to ongoing litigation.

According to the Sierra Club, nearby streams with similar characteristics to those at risk in that permit area still have not recovered from harm caused by longwall mining at the Bailey complex based in Richhill Township, despite Consol’s repeated attempts to restore stream flow.

CCJ and the Sierra Club look to the impact of mine subsidence on Duke Lake, located within Ryerson. In 2005 underground activity led to structural damage to the dam that required the lake to be drained and the dam to be breached.

“Hundreds of gallons of water per minute were leaking through the dam,” CCJ Executive Director Patrick Grenter recalled. “Pennsylvania waited five years before bringing enforcement action against Consol.”

At that time DEP found Consol responsible for the damage to Duke Lake and ordered the company to pay the state Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, which manages the lake and park, more then $1 million to repair the dam and for future repair expenses.

Consol appealed the order, claiming that the ground movements responsible for damages to the dam were not caused by its mining activities.

The Southpointe-based energy company also appealed the order requiring it to pay for the repairs.

But in April 2013 DCNR settled with Consol, which agreed to pay the state $36 million,

with approximately $25 million to be used for the reconstruction of the dam – if the ground underneath stabilizes.

“The ground was still shifting,” Grenter said, “The state cannot build a dam there. That made our fight for those streams more important than ever.”

“We’re really hoping for a decision by the end of the year or early in 2017,” said CCJ Executive Director Patrick Grenter.

A decision could impact hundreds of jobs in Greene and neighboring counties, where unemployment rates remain among the highest in Pennsylvania.

“If we win,” Grenter said, “mining should stop while issues are being litigated.”

State Sen. Camera Bartolotta, R-Carroll Township, is concerned about that, saying a halt to mining would impact hundreds of jobs and “derail what is left of the coal industry in Greene County.”

According to the state Department of Labor and Industry, the number of workers in mining, logging and construction industries in Greene County has remained stationary at 5,100 for three months, most recently into October. That’s up from 4,700 in October 2015.

The unemployment rate in Greene County remained at 7.5 percent for a second-straight month, down from 7.6 percent in August but up from 6.0 percent in October 2015. That still remains among the higher jobless rates among the 67 counties, with the

highest in October, 8.4 percent, being reported in Fayette County.

Meanwhile CCJ and the Sierra Club are pressuring Bartolotta to intervene to prevent an alleged bid by Consol “to fast track (a) new permit amendment which would allow it to destroy streams inside Ryerson” before the board makes its decision.

“Consol is trying to get this permit immediately,” Grenter said.

His group called Consol’s effort “outrageous, cynical and unconstitutional.” It apparently is on a parallel with the existing situation with Bailey Lower East Expansion.

“We have seen Sen. Bartolotta show leadership on other illadvised mining plans, particularly in Washington County, and now we hope she will show the same judgment in opposing this ill-advised mining plan, at least until we have a decision from the Environmental Hearing Board,” Grenter said.

“I appreciate their passion and their concern,” said Bartolotta, who is majority vice chairman of the Senate Environmental Resources and Energy Committee – and who has been in contact with CCJ on multiple occasions, including a recent conference call.

The firstterm senator called “very disingenuous” a CCJ campaign that insisted that she had ignored 85 emails and multiple phone calls urging her to act.

“I think we’ve gotten one email and four phone calls,” Bartolotta said. “We respond to every email, to every phone call.”

Bartolotta acknowledged writing a letter to the DEP regarding mining near Mingo Creek Park in eastern Washington County – but did not see how she could intervene in the Ryerson dispute.

“I don’t control the DEP,” she said. “I can’t interfere in litigation between the DEP and a group.”

Snyder said she receives “emails and letters all the time” from “people who are concerned with what is happening with Ryerson.”

However, that also includes what has been going on to make improvements to the park.

“A (communitydriven) task force is moving forward and they are going to be starting

construction on some new facilities at Ryerson State Park this spring,” the Greene County legislator said. A swimming pool and other facilities are on that list.

The task force was formed after DCNR Secretary Cindy Adams Dunn came to Ryerson in July 2015 to announce that replacement of a dam that created Duke Lake was currently not possible because of continued ground movement and an unstable foundation.

Some of the money from the Consol settlement over Duke Lake was repurposed by DCNR for other uses in the park.

Snyder said the effort has included input from high school students telling officials what they want to see in the park.

“It has been a very successful endeavor,” Snyder said.

Government blocks Dakota Access oil pipeline route dep CANNON BALL, N.D. (AP) — The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers said Sunday that it won’t grant an easement for the Dakota Access oil pipeline in southern North Dakota, handing a victory to the Standing Rock Sioux tribe and its supporters, who argued the project would threaten the tribe’s water source and cultural sites.

North Dakota’s leaders criticized the decision, with Gov. Jack Dalrymple calling it a “serious mistake” that “prolongs the dangerous situation” of having several hundred protesters who are camped out on federal land during cold, wintry weather.

U.S. Rep. Kevin Cramer said it’s a “very chilling signal” for the future of infrastructure in the United States.

The four-state, $3.8 billion project is largely complete except for the nowblocked segment underneath Lake Oahe, a Missouri River reservoir. Assistant Secretary for Civil Works Jo-Ellen Darcy said in a news release that her decision was based on the need to “explore alternate routes” for the pipeline’s crossing. Her full decision doesn’t rule out that it could cross under the reservoir or north of Bismarck.

“Although we have had continuing

At its recent prison board meeting, she blasted the panel, particularly Commissioners Vincent Vicites and Angela M. Zimmerlink for their lengthy tenure that has produced little action to improve the living conditions of the prison inmates, or the working conditions of the employees.

“You have been here a decade,” she said. “(We have

discussion and exchanges of new information with the Standing Rock Sioux and Dakota Access, it’s clear that there’s more work to do,” Darcy said. “The best way to complete that work responsibly and expeditiously is to explore alternate routes for the pipeline crossing.”

The company constructing the pipeline, Dallas-based Energy Transfer Partners, had said it was unwilling to reroute the project. It had no immediate comment Sunday.

The decision came a day before the government’s deadline for the several hundred people at the Oceti Sakowin, or Seven Council Fires, encampment to leave the federal land. But demonstrators say they’re prepared to stay, and authorities say they won’t forcibly remove them.

As the news spread Sunday, cheers and cheers and chants of “mni wichoni” — “water is life” in Lakota Sioux — broke out among the protesters. Some in the crowd banged drums. Miles Allard, a member of the Standing Rock Sioux, said he was pleased but remained cautious, saying, “We don’t know what Trump is going to do.”

heard about a) new jail, repairs, but when does it all happen?”

The board had just learned that a contractor was completing roof work over the prison and the interior work had begun.

Lowe said the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) is in contact with her son, and the United Mine Workers of America (UMWA) has filed a complaint with the U.S. Department of Justice, which could adversely impact the county if legal action is taken by one or both of the agencies.

“The whole world is watching,” Allard added. “I’m telling all our people to stand up and not to leave until this is over.”

Attorney General Loretta Lynch said Sunday that the Department of Justice will “continue to monitor the situation” and stands “ready to provide resources to help all those who can play a constructive role in easing tensions.”

“The safety of everyone in the area - law enforcement officers, residents and protesters alike - continues to be our foremost concern,” she added.

Carla Youngbear of the Meskwaki Potawatomi tribe made her third trip from central Kansas to be at the protest site.

“I have grandchildren, and I’m going to have great grandchildren,” she said.

“They need water. Water is why I’m here.”

Standing Rock Sioux tribal chairman Dave Archambault didn’t immediately respond to messages left seeking comment.

Morton County Sheriff Kyle Kirchmeier, whose department has done much of the policing for the protests, said that “local law enforcement does not have an opinion” on the easement and that his department will continue to “enforce the law.”

“You people need a fire lit under you,” she said. “You all contribute to the recidivism and the crime rate in this county because you have allowed this to go on for decades and not helped these inmates and these corrections officers.”

The antiquated prison conditions, Lowe said, indicates a lack of compassion on the part of the officials and prevents an inmate from transforming their lives from that of a criminal to a productive citizen.

Vicites said that a prison assessment study now

underway will allow the county to have the information it needs to make decisions that will ease overcrowding, address recidivism and improve the prison conditions.

Last month, Vicites and Commissioner Dave Lohr agreed to hire CGL Companies to conduct a population analysis at a costs of $50,000.

Zimmerlink voted against the measure.

“I hope you are expediting it to get this moving,” said Lowe. “Let’s go...let’s get it done.”

Stefanko said the latest samples “were put through rigorous testing and reached the same conclusions.”

The DEP determined that the presence of radioactivity, which can occur naturally in the environment, fell below the level for drinking water set forth by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

“Any radiation that was detected was consistent with background levels for southwest Pennsylvania,” said the DEP’s statement.

The DEP took water and sludge samples from five sites near the mine treatment facility in January, April and June. A December 2015 report of testing on water, sediment, aquatic vegetation and fish collected at 12 sites six months earlier also showed no radiological issues.

Also, an independent study released in June 2015 by the West Virginia University Water Research Institute showed that radiation levels did not exceed the EPA’s standards.

Tests on Ten Mile Creek were prompted by a DEP study in April 2014 that showed excessive levels of radiation in the water even though subsequent tests demonstrated no problems.

Based on previous tests, state Rep. Pam Snyder, DJefferson Township, said she was not surprised to learn of the DEP’s final conclusions and was happy that the agency could now move on to other issues.

No reform Trump’s tax plan will only make things worse

The principles of tax reform, individual or corporate, are clear: Congress should improve efficiency by levying lower rates on a broader base of income; that is, with a minimum of incentive-distorting loopholes and deductions.

Reform should encourage economic growth but mitigate income and wealth inequality. The resulting revenue should enable the federal government to meet public needs without adding to the national debt.

The last time the political stars aligned to produce such legislation was 1986.

The tax code has accumulated new inefficiencies and irrationalities since, notwithstanding many reform proposals by Republicans, Democrats and even some bipartisan coalitions over the years. Now the GOP sweep of the White House and both chambers of Congress may set the stage for the most extensive rewrite of taxation since then — one that, unlike the 30-years-ago version, which was bipartisan, the Republican Party will dominate.

President-elect Donald Trump and his team are sending mixed signals. During the campaign, he put forward an irresponsible plan to slash revenue by an estimated $620 billion per year (roughly 19 percent of fiscal 2015 receipts) over 10 years, with no credible offset in the form of spending cuts. Meanwhile, the top 0.1 percent of taxpayers would experience an average tax cut of nearly $1.1 million, while households in the middle fifth of the income distribution would receive an average tax cut of $1,010, according to the Tax Policy Center. On Wednesday, however, Trump’s choice for secretary of the Treasury, Steven Mnuchin, spoke reassuringly, but cryptically, of middle-class relief with “no absolute tax cut for the upper class.” Rate cuts for the rich could be offset by eliminating itemized deductions, such as the break for mortgage interest or state and local taxes, Mnuchin said, though most experts say that won’t actually work for the rates Trump proposed.

Possibly the Trump camp is moving toward the somewhat more plausible blueprint laid out by House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., in June. It would reduce federal revenue by a mere $3.1 trillion over 10 years, according to a Tax Policy Center analysis. This is better than Trump’s plan, but still hardly fiscally responsible absent big spending cuts to federal programs — which the GOP also proposes, but which are notoriously harder to pass than tax cuts. Meanwhile, most of the House GOP plan’s benefits would accrue to the well-to-do, in part because the plan eliminates what’s left of the estate tax, one of federal law’s few modest restraints on wealth inequality.

Recently, the chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, Kevin Brady, R-Texas, said he wants reform to be revenue neutral, albeit as measured by “dynamic scoring,” i.e., accounting for revenue due to projected economic growth. That, too, was a welcome note of relative moderation — but even under fairly robust dynamic scoring, the House GOP plan still costs the government $2.5 trillion over 10 years, according to the Tax Policy Center.

Come 2017, a Republican president and Congress could use their powers to rewrite the tax code in accordance with the standard set in 1986. For now, they seem bent on cutting taxes massively for those who least need the help — at the risk of greater debt, cuts in vital services or both.

The Washington Post

the

right

Donald right about Fidel Castro The death of the dictator of Cuba took over our headlines for a few days and made some world leaders look pretty stupid.

Canada’s leader Justin Trudeau reacted as if Fidel Castro was a saint to be mourned, not a thug whose death should be celebrated.

Our own cool president was careful to not say a negative word about the Left’s evil superhero.

Our next president may or may not make America great again with his liberal-conservative mix of ideas and goals, but he sure got St. Fidel right.

Donald Trump’s statement called Castro a “brutal dictator who oppressed his own people for nearly six decades” and left a legacy of “firing squads, theft, unimaginable suffering, poverty and the denial of fundamental human rights.”

Fidel’s death briefly overshadowed the dumb tweets Trump sent out in reaction to Jill Stein and the Green Party asking for a recount of votes in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania.

The recount is a waste of time and money. It won’t change the results.

In each state we’re talking about tens of thousands of votes separating Trump and Hillary Clinton, not 500, like it was in

Michael Reagan Florida in 2000.

Hillary Clinton’s decision to join Stein in her recount crusade makes no sense.

If Stein had not been in the race, there was a good chance Hillary would have won Michigan, where she lost to Trump by a little less than 11,000.

Plus, the outcome of the presidential election is not in doubt. Hillary has already lost to Trump. Now the country gets to watch her lose again in the recount.

Unfortunately, it was even sillier for Trump to react to the recount by tweeting — without having any evidence — that he would have won the popular vote if “millions” of people hadn’t voted illegally.

Someone needs to tell the

On

president-elect, “Donald, it doesn’t matter. You won. Pick your Cabinet.”

Donald’s gigantic ego has been bruised because he didn’t win the popular vote.

Maybe he doesn’t know that’s why the Founding Fathers set up the Electoral College. They didn’t want voters in a few big states like New York to elect the president and wanted small states to have skin in the game.

If you win by 3 million votes in California, by the way, it’s not because of illegal votes. It’s because we have a one-party state.

Trump should have stayed away from the whole recount issue. If he starts making his decisions as president based on his ego, he’ll be a huge failure.

We just had one of those bigego presidents. How did eight years of Obama work out?

While I’m at it, there’s another thing bugging me.

For as long as I’ve been alive we’ve been talking about electing a businessman president.

Now we’ve elected one and people are worried about him being a businessman.

Trump’s got hotels and golf courses and properties all around the world. CNN says it’s 144 companies in 25 countries.

Good for him. I hope all of them are obscenely successful for the next four years.

the

Equally, I hope the country becomes as successful as Trump says he wants to make it.

If we’re as successful as Trump wants to make us, who cares how well he is doing?

Actually, most liberals do. But I don’t care if he ends up with $20 billion as long as the rest of America doesn’t end up any more bankrupt than it already is.

As for the question of ethics, the liberal media should calm down.

Trump’s people will figure out a way to prevent conflicts of interests and have his kids take over his businesses.

What I’ve seen of his talented children, they have more than enough ingenuity to run them.

Some Democrats and media people — i.e., liberals — won’t be happy unless President Trump sells off everything and turns his kids into welfare recipients.

Instead of passing out turkeys on Thanksgiving Day they’d rather see them receiving them.

But what do they know?

They’re liberals. The same people who thought Fidel was a saint.

Facts just not important for Trump

By Margaret Sullivan For The Washington Post

You may think you are prepared for a post-truth world, in which political appeals to emotion count for more than statements of verifiable fact.

But now it’s time to cross another bridge — into a world without facts. Or, more precisely, where facts do not matter a whit.

On live radio Wednesday morning, Scottie Nell Hughes sounded breezy as she drove a stake into the heart of knowable reality: “There’s no such thing, unfortunately, anymore, of facts,” she declared on “The Diane Rehm Show” on Wednesday.

Hughes, a frequent surrogate for President-elect Donald Trump and a paid commentator for CNN during the campaign, kept on defending that assertion at length, though not with much clarity of expression. Rehm had pressed her about Trump’s recent evidence-free assertion on Twitter that he, not Hillary Clinton, would have won the popular vote if millions of immigrants had not voted illegally.

(The apparent genesis of Trump’s claim was Infowars. com, a site that traffics in conspiracy theories and is run by

Alex Jones, who says the 2012 massacre of 20 schoolchildren in Newtown, Connecticut, was a government-sponsored hoax.)

What matters now, Hughes argued, is not whether his fraud claim is true. No, what matters is who believes it.

“Mr. Trump’s tweet, amongst a certain crowd, a large — a large part of the population, are truth. When he says that millions of people illegally voted, he has some — in his — amongst him and his supporters, and people believe they have facts to back that up. Those that do not like Mr. Trump, they say that those are lies, and there’s no facts to back it up.”

Yes, it’s a fact: I heard it live, as did Rehm, Politico’s Glenn Thrush, and The Atlantic’s James Fallows, who wrote about it, citing a recording of the show.

One might be tempted, though, to dismiss it as one woman’s opinion: Maybe Hughes, the political editor of RightAlerts.com, was just having a hallucinatory day.

But at a high-profile event the next evening, two other Trump surrogates echoed this sentiment. Ousted Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski, speaking during

an election post-mortem at Harvard University’s Shorenstein Center on Media, Politics and Public Policy, blamed journalists for — yes — believing what his candidate said.

“You guys took everything that Donald Trump said so literally,” said Lewandowski, who was another ill-advised CNN hire.

“The American people didn’t. They understood it.

They understood that sometimes — when you have a conversation with people, whether it’s around the dinner table or at a bar — you’re going to say things, and sometimes you don’t have all the facts to back it up.”

Yes, Corey, but Trump is not a guy at a bar; he was the Republican nominee for president of the United States and will pretty soon be the leader of the free world, such as it is.

So, how should Trump’s statements during the campaign have been covered?

Should reporters have added something like this in the second paragraph of every news story? “Trump probably didn’t mean that he would appoint a special prosecutor/ build a wall/deport millions of immigrants. His statements are not meant to be taken literally but rather as broad

suggestions of a feeling he was experiencing on a particular day.”

There was more from the Harvard event. When CNN’s Jake Tapper asked Trump senior adviser Kellyanne Conway about the same election-fraud claim discussed above — specifically whether disseminating misinformation was “presidential” — it was clear that she and Hughes got the same memo.

“He’s the president-elect, so that’s presidential behavior,” Conway said, using mind-bending pseudo-logic, reminiscent of the Nixonian “when the president does it, that means that it’s not illegal.”

These surrogates’ disdain for facts should not be surprising, given Trump’s own casual relationship with verifiable truth.

It’s time to dust off your old copy of “1984” by George Orwell and recall this passage: “The Ministry of Peace concerns itself with war, the Ministry of Truth with lies, the Ministry of Love with torture and the Ministry of Plenty with starvation. These contradictions are not accidental, nor do they result from ordinary hypocrisy: they are deliberate exercises in doublethink.”

And be vigilant.

Opinion

The populist and his crew of billionaires A cabinet populated by bankers and wealthy insiders. A $1 million premier package of tickets to the presidential inauguration in January.

And a posh dinner with Mr. 47 Percent, himself, Mitt Romney.

If his earliest actions are any guide, America’s incoming chief executive isn’t so much draining Washington’s swamp as he is refilling it with higher quality sludge.

As The Washington Post reports, three of President-elect Donald J. Trump’s cabinet picks have personal net worths running to the billions of dollars. One possible pick for energy secretary, Harold Hamm, is worth $15 billion alone.

That’s $15 billion — with a “B.” Crack open your wallet — do you even have $15 in cash in it right now?

And if you’re thinking about heading to Washington for the inaugural festivities, you’d better take out that second mortgage now. Trump and his team are looking to raise an eye-watering

John L. Micek and record-breaking $65 million to $75 million to finance inaugural events across the Capital.

They’re doing it on the back of high-dollar events that include an “exclusive” luncheon with Trump’s cabinet picks; a dinner with Vice President-elect Mike Pence and his wife and a “ladies luncheon” with Ivanka and Melania Trump, The New York Times reported.

The events will run anywhere from $25,000 to as much as $1 million.

That’s a long way from the hot dogs and chips populism that fueled Trump’s packed rallies

on the campaign trail earlier this year.

And, just for good measure, Trump’s chief strategist, Stephen K. Bannon, once mused about the possibility of only letting property owners vote. When an associate reminded him that would shut out a lot of black voters, Bannon allegedly said “maybe that’s not such a bad thing.”

So maybe it’s no surprise that the shine went off Trump’s populism not long after he entered the halls of power. It was a mirage to begin with.

Keep in mind, this is a guy with a private jet; who lives in a gold-plated penthouse on top of a skyscraper in midtown Manhattan, and who has never had a problem showing off the gaudy trappings of his success.

The “blue-collar” billionaire who was going to build a wall; repeal and replace Obamacare and “lock-up” Hillary Clinton has been since been exposed as something much more obvious — and far less surprising — a

card-carrying member of the same elite he said he would scourge.

Remember how Trump teed off on Hillary Clinton’s six-figure speeches to Goldman Sachs during his rallies? Well, it’s not such a nest of vipers that he’s above raiding it for two of his cabinet picks.

Trump’s choice for treasury secretary is former Goldman partner Stephen Mnuchin. Another Goldman executive, Gary Cohn, might be tapped for budget director.

As Politico notes, after a decade in the “wilderness,” the Wall Street firm that was the embodiment of the financial collapse is set for a bigtime return to Washington and maybe even a rehabilitation of its battered public image.

After all, as recently as October, Trump was Tweeting that Clinton was “[meeting] in secret with international banks to plot the destruction of U.S. sovereignty in order to enrich” her donors.

Putting aside the disturbingly undertones

of anti-Semitism from candidate Trump in that 140-character burst, President-elect Trump now seems to find that international cabal of bankers perfectly acceptable.

Again, that’s no surprise.

It’s always been accepted wisdom that Trump, a Washington outsider, with little to no existing political network, was going to have to turn to Washington’s elite and veteran Republican hands to populate his administration.

On the one hand, that’s a good sign because it means that some of Trump’s more radical campaign trail proposals will be moderated.

And despite the presence of Bannon, the white nationalist Trumpwhisperer at his side, both Mnuchin and Cohn are Jewish, which means some of the uglier, dogwhistle tactics of the campaign might be jettisoned as well.

But that again might leave the blue-collar voters who packed

Commentary

America must act to preserve its farmlands

By Ed Rinkhoff Jr.

I would like to weigh in on two recent articles you carried about California’s recent emission law SB1383. The first written by Pastor William (Ed) Nicholson and the retort by Keith Barnhart. Both are obviously intelligent men, both greatly divided over conservative-liberal values in lifestyles.

Now, let me introduce myself. I’ve been a lifelong cattleman of a conservative bend in most aspects of lifestyle. I’m extremely conservative on issues such as soil, water and air. These are the basics of sustaining life as we know it and as a famous soil scientist has said, “We are standing on six

inches of topsoil, which is the rest of our life!”

That’s how important our productive soils are and how little a larger and larger percentage of our population respects or gives reverence to them.

We had been losing prior to the September 2008 recession, enough farmland across America’s 50 states every year to equal the square miles of the state of Maryland.

This is nothing more than reckless, callused and innocent ignorance of America’s direction.

As a prominent former East Coast developer named Peter Hausman said, “Wall-to-wall roofs, parking lots and highways destroy the quality of life.”

Water and air are more important than food to

Herald-Standard seeking local columnists

our life, but does anyone in authority have the guts to say what one of the causes is to the loss of farmland in America?

The Bureau of Land Management has absolute data showing race problems in our cities as the major cause of sprawl.

Air: How valuable is farmland and farm crops to our air? Oxygen — one acre of corn in its prime growth produces more oxygen than 10 acres of trees. Carbon, a pollutant, is arrested by grasses, legumes and other farm crops. Companies that have carbon emissions must pur chase, on a yearly fee, sufficient farmland to equal the carbon output they emit. Pennsylvania’s four southwest

counties also benefit financially from tourism.

Attractive farmland adds considerably to the mosaic attraction for tourists; an equation not given nearly enough importance by planning commissions and zoning boards, not to mention highway safety of allowing highways to become shoestring main streets instead of avenues of transport.

Now who is Pastor Nicholson? He’s a Vietnam War veteran who had a sensitive security position in Vietnam and lost his left leg before he was 20. He taught school for approximately 30 years and organized Baptist churches from South Carolina to New Hampshire before settling in Fayette

County; his birthplace.

Yes, he is a good man with a sense of humor which I believe was the main tenent of his article of which Barnhart took issue.

Long before this California SB1383, there has been derogatory talk to the cattle business over belching methane.

Let’s consider the numbers. I don’t know the number of cattle in Mexico or Canada, but they would pale compared to America’s 30 million beef and 10 million dairy cows and probably another 40 million young and terminal animals.

Yes, these are all ruminants but prior to the European conquest of North America, I’m rather certain there were

more ruminants roaming North America wild in buffalo (bison), moose, caribou, deer, reindeer, elk, big horn sheep and rocky mountain goats — did I miss any ruminants?

Yes, with serious credit to Barnhart, truth must be 100 percent but give Pastor Nicholson credit for putting a funny spin on a subject that’s been kicked around for some time!

The bottom line is America needs all of its good soil and farms and open land for our quality of life!

Ed Rinkhoff Jr. is a resident of Uniontown.

He’s one of the three f o u n d e r s o f Fa y e t t e County’s Farmland Preservation Board and he presently serves as its vice president.

Former tenant: Oakland warehouse was unsafe, makeshift party space

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Shelley Mack, a one-time tenant of the converted warehouse dubbed the “Ghost Ship,” found the rental in an ad on Facebook.

She paid about $700 a month in rent, along with a security deposit of the same amount and a one-time contribution of about $700 to a fund meant to go toward improvements. She said none were ever made.

It was often freezing cold in the building. Water and power were sometimes stolen from neighbors, who would get angry and shut them off. Once, a generator blew up, and residents quickly doused the flames, she said.

Mack said she didn’t know the ramshackle dwelling was illegal until after she moved in. She was instructed to tell visitors it was a 24-hour workspace for artists. When inspectors or other outsiders came to visit, she and other residents scurried to hide clothes, bedding and other evidence anyone was living there.

“It’s a good example of people taking advantage of people because they had no other options,” said Mack, a 58-yearold tech sales worker and jewelry maker who lived there for four or five months

about two years ago. “People make businesses off scamming people online when they’re looking for a place.”

Oakland officials say at least 30 people perished when a fire ripped through the cluttered space during a dance party Friday night, and the death toll is expected to rise. It was crammed with rugs, old sofas and a garage-salelike collection of pianos, paintings, turntables, statues and other items that quickly fed the flames.

“All kinds of electrical cords running through there illegally. Massive extension cords. Heavy musical equipment,” Mack said. “That place was just a death trap. I didn’t think it was going to last this long before it went up or somebody shut it down.”

One doorway was blocked, she said, because it led to the property of a neighbor who’d been in a dispute with the operators, whom she and other former tenants and friends identified as 46-year-old Derick Ion and his 40-yearold wife, Micah Allison.

“They lure you in with all these promises about what they’re going to do with your deposit and your rent,” she said. “They don’t do any of it. They just party with it.”

Deadly police chase prompts debate over tire-slashing device PITTSBURGH (AP) — A police chase that killed three people has Pennsylvania officials debating the use of tire-slashing devices to prevent suspects from fleeing during traffic stops.

Allegheny County District Attorney Stephen Zappala Jr. wants to buy the $140 devices so officers can use them to flatten a tire if the driver takes off.

But local police agencies tell The Pittsburgh PostGazette they fear officers could be vulnerable when they bend down to place the spiked sticks under a car.

Trump: Payback for US companies that move abroad

Trump expands list of candidates to head the State Department

WASHINGTON (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump is expanding his pool of candidates for secretary of state, leaving unclear whether former CIA Director David Petraeus’ guilty plea for leaking classified information disqualifies him to serve as the nation’s top diplomat.

“There’s not a finite list of candidates” for secretary of state, Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway told reporters on Sunday. “More than four.

Who knows how many finalists there will be?”

The remark comes a week after Trump’s aides confirmed that the president-elect had settled on four finalists for the post. Two people close to the transition told The Associated Press that Trump is moving away from two of the four: former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani and Mitt Romney, the 2012

Republican presidential nominee.

That would leave Petraeus as a contender, along with Tennessee Republican Sen. Bob Corker, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Both people close to the transition said Trump’s prolonged decision-making process has left the door open to other options. Among other possibilities, one official says is Jon Huntsman, a former Republican Utah governor who also served as the ambassador to China and speaks Mandarin.

The people close to the transition spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the private process publicly.

There was other evidence that Trump is looking beyond the known four contenders. Vice Presidentelect Mike Pence on Sunday listed the quartet, but added a fresh reference to former U.N. ambassador

“John Bolton or others who may be added to the list” of candidates.

“I think the person who will make the decision about our next secretary of state is the president-elect,” Pence said on ABC. “And he’ll factor the totality of Gen. Petraeus’ career in making that decision.”

Pence also referred to Petraeus as a “hero.” But it seemed unclear Sunday even to Petraeus and Trump’s inner circle whether the retired general’s guilty plea has turned off Trump.

Petraeus, a retired four-star general, pleaded guilty last year to one misdemeanor charge of mishandling classified information relating to documents he had provided to a woman he was having a sexual relationship with. He was spared prison time under a plea agreement with the Justice Department and was given two years’ probation.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump is threatening to impose heavy taxes on U.S. companies that move jobs overseas and still try to sell their products to Americans.

But the plan could drive up prices for U.S. businesses and consumers and risk setting off a trade war — if it’s legal to begin with.

In a series of earlymorning tweets Sunday, Trump vowed a 35 percent tax on products sold inside the U.S. by any business that fired American workers and built a new factory or plant in another country.

Trump campaigned on a vow to help American workers but also to reduce taxes and regulations on businesses.

Trump tweets “there will be a tax on our soon to be strong border of 35 percent for these companies wanting to sell their product, cars, A.C. units, etc., back across the border.”

He says companies should be “forewarned prior to making a very expensive mistake.”

Gary Hufbauer, senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics, says Trump would face a potent legal challenge if he tried to impose taxes, known as tariffs, on specific companies without congressional approval.

Hufbauer also doubts that Trump could identify a group of companies —those that move jobs overseas, then ship goods back into

America — for special tariffs.

“I’m skeptical,” he says, predicting that courts w o u l d Trump b l o c k such a move.

University of Michigan economist Justin Wolfers saw another problem with Trump’s plan: His proposed tariffs would only hit U.S. companies that build plants overseas. They wouldn’t apply to foreign firms that ship goods to the U.S. “Tariffs are one thing,” Wolfers tweeted.

“Tariffs that attack only on U.S. firms are another altogether.”

Trump made the comments three days after he announced that appliance maker Carrier had agreed to reverse its decision to ship 800 jobs from an Indiana factory to Mexico.

During the presidential campaign, he repeatedly threatened to impose tariffs — 35 percent on Mexican imports, 45 percent on Chinese.

Tariffs are meant to give homegrown companies a price edge by making their foreign competitors’ products more expensive — and to punish foreign countries for unfair trade practices.

Since Trump’s election, his team has described tariffs as a potential tool to be used to pry concessions from America’s trading partners.

Trump’s inauguration set to test nation’s readiness to heal WASHINGTON (AP) — One thing you can count on during inauguration season in Washington: People of all stripes will find a reason to show up — whether it’s to celebrate or commiserate.

There are parties and protests to attend, stars to gawk at, receptions to be worked, deals to be done, drinks to be consumed.

Less than two months out from Inauguration Day, there’s a different dynamic surrounding the planning for Donald Trump’s swearing-in than the unbridled enthusiasm that swirled around the installation of the first black president in 2008.

Crowd expectations are down. Fewer A-list celebrities are likely to descend. Hotels still have rooms to be rented.

But congressional offices are maxing out on ticket requests for the Jan. 20 swearing-in.

Trump’s inaugural committee is wooing big donors with candlelight dinners, exclusive luncheons and premier access to balls. Interest groups are lining up sideline events. And among those still mourning Hillary Clinton’s loss, there is plenty of counter-programming afoot, including plans for a giant women’s march aimed at sending a defiant message to the incoming president.

Before the election, District of Columbia planners set an early estimate of 800,000900,000 people for this year’s inauguration and they haven’t revised that number yet, according to Christopher Geldart, director of D.C.’s Department

Associated Press

Construction continues on the presidential reviewing stand on Pennsylvania Avenue in front of the White House in Washington, Thursday. One thing you can count on during inauguration season in Washington: People of all stripes will find a reason to show up, whether it’s to celebrate or commiserate.

of Homeland Security and Emergency Management.

But there’s scant expectation of replicating the 1.8 million people who descended on Washington for Barack Obama’s first inaugural.

Nor will Hollywood turn out as it did for Obama, whose two inaugurals attracted the likes of Beyonce, Bruce Springsteen, Usher, Jamie Foxx, Jay-Z, Oprah Winfrey and many more A-listers.

“More than any election

we’ve seen in a very long time, the Hollywood community was really behind Hillary, and a lot of people put their reputations on the line,” says longtime Hollywood publicist Howard Bragman. “Clearly those are people who are going to be taking their Xanax and Valium that day and staying in bed with the covers over them.”

But Bragman said there still will be Republican-leaning celebrities who turn out for Trump — and a larger contingent of

Wyoming police to dole out money for good deeds JACKSON, Wyo. (AP) — A good deed could turn into a $50 tip from Jackson law enforcement officials who will dole out donated money ahead of the holidays.

The Jackson Hole News and Guide reports that Teton County Sheriff Jim Whalen says anonymous

donors have contributed enough for deputies, officers and troopers to give $50 to $100 gifts.

Whalen said the money could be given out for almost anything, in cluding good drivers or people who are simply down on their luck.

He said the cash gifts

are about spreading goodwill.

Donations last year helped officials run a similar effort.

Whalen said all of this year’s donors were Jackson Hole residents.

The area has a number of wealthy residents who own large estates.

Hollywood types who show up for counter events like the women’s march planned for the day after Trump’s inauguration.

While demand for hotel rooms and other venues is slower than at this point four and eight years ago, hoteliers remain “guardedly optimistic,” according to Elliott Ferguson, president of Destination DC, the city’s tourism bureau. Some hotels that set up four-day-minimum inaugural packages are rethinking that

model, hoping to capture more business from those headed to Washington for the women’s march.

Hotels are noticing “more rooms being picked up on Saturday than on Friday,” Ferguson says, suggesting strong interest in the march, whose organizers hope to draw 200,000 people to the city.

Be advised: The presidentelect’s own Trump International Hotel is sold out.

Still available: For $2.5 million, the J.W. Marriott is offering a package that includes four presidential suites, 325 guest rooms, a craft bourbon barrel tasting reception, special inauguration menus, and a private viewing party on the terrace overlooking the parade route, among other amenities.

There are always more affordable options through rental network Airbnb, which says local bookings for inauguration weekend spiked by 80 percent during the week after the election.

Airbnb host Jade Moore, a video editor and Democrat, doubled her prices to $200 a night for inauguration weekend and says she’s booked both Trump supporters and women marchers for her Anacostia home. Before her inaugural guests arrive, she’ll be removing the toilet paper bearing Trump’s photo and the sign in her bathroom that invites people to “take a dump on Trump.”

“I’m sure we’ll all get along,” says Moore, hopefully. “We don’t even have to bring up politics.”

Steelers shrink Giants PSU left College football playoff

off final four list

Alabama, Ohio State, Clemson, Washington selected

continuity with the mix of guys who are playing. The young guys are growing up.”

A pivotal development for the Steelers (7-5), who have won three straight, each one a step up in class.

Two weeks ago it was a simple slump-buster in Cleveland.

On Thanksgiving, it was a decisive victory on the road in Indianapolis, albeit against a backup quarterback.

This time it was one of the league’s hottest teams, though New York (8-4) hardly looked like it at times while spoiling first-year coach Ben McAdoo’s homecoming.

McAdoo grew up an hour east of Heinz Field in Homer

The College Football Playoff committee selected Alabama, Ohio State, Clemson and Washington, expectedly choosing the only four Power 5 conference teams without multiple losses and leaving out surging Penn State despite the Nittany Lions’ victory in Saturday night’s Big Ten championship.

In the semifinals on Dec. 31, No. 1 Alabama will play No. 4 Washington in Atlanta and No. 2 Clemson will play No. 3 Ohio State in Glendale, Arizona.

The winners will play Jan. 9 for the national title in Tampa.

The committee made no significant changes to the top four of its penultimate rankings after three members of the incumbent foursome prevailed in conference title games this weekend and the fourth, Ohio State, sat idle.

As a result, the Buckeyes dropped one slot to No. 3, while the Tigers rose to No. 2, but those two teams will still meet in the semis.

Penn State gave the committee something to ponder late Saturday night, when it erased a 28-7 deficit to topple then-No. 6 Wisconsin, 38-31, in the Big Ten title game. The Nittany Lions won the Big Ten, regarded this season as the nation’s toughest league, and finished its season with a nine-game winning streak, which included a victory over Ohio State in October.

The Steelers will gladly sacrifice the style points for the substance they showed in a 24-14 win over the New York Giants on Sunday.

The result emphatically ended New York’s six-game winning streak and sent a message that Pittsburgh’s midseason funk appears to be firmly in the rearview mirror.

West Virginia falls, 3-1, in College Cup final to Trojans Mountaineers’ historic season ends at 23-2-2

By Jonathan Guth

jguth@heraldstandard.com

West Virginia University allowed more than two goals for the first time this season in a 3-1 loss to the University of Southern California on Sunday in San Jose, California, at Avaya Stadium during the NCAA Division I Women’s Soccer College Cup Final.

“First, I’d like to congratulate USC on being the National Champions,” Mountaineer coach Nikki IzzoBrown said. “It was an incredible game, and their team obviously battled.”

The top-ranked and No. 1 seeded Mountaineers (23-2-2) battled back from an early 1-0 deficit to tie the game at 65:06 when Ashley Lawrence scored on a shot from outside the box past USC keeper Sammy Jo Prudhomme. Lawrence’s fourth goal of the season was

assisted by Easther Mayi Kith.

The Mountaineers’ Alli Magaletta was injured on the

play but walked off on her own power.

“I’m so proud of the way my team put together a great performance after going down a goal early,” Izzo-Brown said. “I thought we did a great job battling back and creating opportunities. This sport is cruel, and I thought we created some great opportunities. At the end of the day, we didn’t finish, and USC did.”

The Trojans (19-4-2) went back on top at 74:01 when a rare mistake by the usually strong WVU defense allowed Katie Johnson to get a shot on goal and past keeper Rylee Foster for a 2-1 advantage.

Leah Pruitt assisted on Johnson’s ninth goal of the season.

With Foster and the Mountaineer defenders playing out of position for more offense with the game winding down, Johnson took advantage and iced the game with her second goal and 10th of the year at 86:39 on a shot that was outside the box. Nicole Molen added the assist and the Trojans had a 3-1 lead that would ultimately be the final score.

football!” Penn State Coach James Franklin hollered on the field in Indianapolis, surrounded by screaming fans and confetti. “It’s on you now, the committee.”

But the Buckeyes became the first team not to win its conference, nor its division, to make the College Football Playoff. Committee chairman Kirby Hocutt said the committee arrived at the Buckeyes through statistical analysis, both in regard to the strength of schedules and on-field performance. Penn State finished No. 5, in front of Michigan at No. 6 and a sliver away from a shot at the title.

“Conference championships are hard to win, and we saw some great games yesterday,” Hocutt said. “As a selection committee, we come back to our charge, our mission. And that is to select the four very best teams in college football.”

It was a victory, then, for both Ohio State and fans who prefer audacious September schedules and a nuanced approach to picking top teams.

Back in the season’s third week, Ohio State clobbered

City, Pennsylvania. The team he faced on Sunday looked a bit like the one he idolized as a kid.

The Steelers dominated the line of scrimmage at times behind Bell’s 182 yards of total offense and prevented Manning and wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. from ever really getting comfortable.

“We are who we are right now,” McAdoo said. “We need to go back to work. You can’t just flip a switch and have things change.”

The Steelers have reinvented themselves on the fly following a four-game slide that took all the shine off their high-flying 4-1 start.

Rather than try to overwhelm opponents with firepower they have put the ball in Bell’s hands and let him lead the way.

Bell touched the ball 35 times — 29 rushes and six receptions — and went over 100 yards rushing for the third straight game by churning for 118.

He did so against a defense that hadn’t allowed an opponent to reach the century mark since Adrian Peterson in Week 16 of last season.

“I just wanted to make sure that I kept running hard,” Bell said. “Then, in the fourth

Cup Continued from B1

USC scored the opening goal at 1:22 of the first half when Morgan Andrews headed the ball inside the box past Foster for a 1-0 lead. It was Andrews’ 10th goal of the season.

The score was set up off a corner that was taken by the Trojans’ Julia Bingham.

Teammate Savannah Levin assisted on the tally.

The goal was the first time WVU has trailed since Nov. 6 when it rallied from a 2-0 deficit to TCU to win the Big 12 tournament, 3-2, in overtime.

The Mountaineers’ Michaela Abam got the team’s first shot at 17:19 but it was high.

Carla Portillo took WVU’s first corner kick at 22:38, but the Trojans blocked a shot by Bianca St. George and two by Sh’Nia Gordon.

It’s the old Bill Belichick mantra that Keith Butler starting hammering home a couple of months ago. “Yep, and it’s working,” Shazier said.

“Guys aren’t trying to do too much. When the plays come our way, we make them. We’re not trying to go out of our way to make plays and make holes in our defense and that’s really been making a big difference for us.” n The Steelers reverted to a formula that helped them win two Super Bowls last decade, that of stopping the run, pressuring the quarterback and then controlling the ball themselves. Troy Polamalu used to beg the Steelers to run the ball more often after Bruce Arians became entrenched, and Troy would’ve enjoyed the game plan Sunday. The Steelers rushed for 117 yards and possessed the ball for 34:08.

“That’s great,” said James Harrison. “It gives us time to sit over here on the sideline, catch our breath, get some water and just sit back and chill and watch them put in the work.” n A big part of the offensive game plan was the use of a third tackle, Chris Hubbard, on first down, along with multiples tight ends and sometimes a fullback, and pounding the ball with Le’Veon Bell. “Love it. Love it,” said Bell, the first back in 13 games to gain 100 yards on the Giants. “On first-and-10 we got the big guys in, and whether they bring a safety down or not there’s really nothing they can do. When the guys up front do their job, it makes it a lot easier for me to pick a hole and do what I want to do.” n That will be music to the ears of the many oldschool football savants in Steelers Nation, but will it work against the Baltimore Ravens? Will they dare try the strategy with which they usuccessfully remained so patient the last time? n That’s a big question, because the Steelers’ passing game still needs another weapon. Ladarius Green, though, is becoming more of a pass-catching threat each week. He’ll never be the rough-andtumble tight end Heath Miller’s conditioned this fan base to love, but 110 receiving yards is needed with the Nos. 2 and 3 receivers combine for only 29. n Perhaps the most underrated offensive play of the game was made by Dave DeCastro. He picked up Jason Pierre-Paul as the passrusher was coming free on Roethlisberger, who was able to slide to his right and throw a 22-yard touchdown pass to Antonio Brown. n Emergency kicker Randy Bullock didn’t miss in four tries (one an extra point) and was told he would stick around another week as insurance for Chris Boswell’s injury. But other than that, the special teams needs to take a long look in the mirror.

The Giants punted four times and the Steelers committed three penalties, one a 15-yard facemask. The Steelers also were penalized on one of their own punts. n On another day, perhaps this week on the road, the defense won’t be able to cover up such sloppiness on special teams.

NFL roundup

Berry key in Chiefs’ 29-28 win over Falcons ATLANTA (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs beat the first-place Atlanta Falcons to add even more shine to their upcoming battle for first place in the AFC West.

A big game against the Raiders is coming in only four days, but for Eric Berry it will be tough to top the big-game feel of the Chiefs’ 29-28 win over the Falcons or Sunday. It will be even more difficult for him to top his personal role in the win.

After returning an interception 37 yards for a touchdown late in the first half, Berry picked off another pass from Matt Ryan on a 2-point conversion, and his 99-yard return gave the Chiefs the lead.

The Chiefs found another creative way to score when Albert Wilson took the direct snap on a fake punt and ran 55 yards for a third-quarter touchdown.

It was an emotional homecoming for Berry, who grew up in suburban Atlanta. He finally played an NFL game in the city where he was treated after being diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma near the end of the 2014 season.

“The last time I came home during the season it was to get chemotherapy,” Berry said.

“This time it was actually to play the game. I was just thankful for the opportunity.”

Berry said he shed tears before, during and after the game. He presented the ball to his mother, Carol, after the first interception “and told her I’d be back.”

Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith said Berry’s eight points “made the difference.”

“Eric is the heart and soul of this team,” Smith said. “I think he’s the embodiment of what we’re about, and that’s selflessness and hard work, giving it up for the guy next to you.

That’s all Eric talks about and it’s real.”

The Chiefs (9-3) made Thursday night’s home game against the Raiders a battle for the division lead by taking back-to-back dramatic wins over Denver and Atlanta.

The Falcons (7-5), now tied with Tampa Bay for the NFC South lead, took a 28-27 lead on Ryan’s 5-yard touchdown pass to Aldrick Robinson with 4:32 remaining. Having failed on a 2-point play following a 1-yard touchdown run by Devonta Freeman early in the fourth quarter, the Falcons tried again for 2 points. Berry delivered the decisive play of the game when he picked off Ryan’s pass for tight end Austin Hooper.

Associated Press

Kansas City strong safety Eric Berry (29) breaks the tackle of Falcons running back Devonta Freeman after Berry made an interception during the first half of Sunday’s game in Atlanta. Berry scored a touchdown on the play.

Carr threw for 260 yards and two touchdowns to rally the Raiders to their biggest comeback in 16 years.

After falling behind 24-9 following touchdowns on the first two drives of the second half for Buffalo (6-6), the Raiders (10-2) took the game over with 29 straight points. They won their sixth straight to remain one game ahead of Kansas City in the tough AFC West.

Oakland scored touchdowns on three straight drives, including scoring strikes from Carr to Michael Crabtree and Amari Cooper for his sixth fourth-quarter comeback of the season. This was the biggest comeback for the Raiders since overcoming a 21-point deficit to Indianapolis to win 38-31 on Sept. 10, 2000.

The Bears (3-9) finished with a season high in points and picked up a rare win in a matchup between two of the NFL’s worst teams.

Matt Barkley, making his second start with Jay Cutler sidelined by a season-ending shoulder injury, went nearly the entire first half without a completion. But he led a touchdown drive near the end of the second quarter and finished 11 of 18 for 192 yards.

Maples hope to build on last season’s success

By Jonathan Guth

jguth@heraldstandard.com

Mapletown wrestling qualified for the WPIAL Team Playoffs last season for the first time under Chris Shilk’s tenure, and the six-year head coach hopes to follow that season up with another successful one in 2016-2017.

“We want to match what we did last year or better,” Shilk said. “The section is stacked this year with McGuffey, BethCenter and Bentworth is in a co-op with Charleroi, which adds to their numbers. West Greene is low on numbers but they will wrestle hard and Jefferson-Morgan has one of the best wrestlers in the country on their team.”

The Maples will compete in Class AA, Section 2-A, this season, and Shilk has about 16 kids out, and returns a number of starters from last year’s team.

Mapletown qualified for the playoffs after defeating Mount Pleasant in the Section 2 tournament, but lost to South Fayette in the first round.

Shilk lost Shawn Hennessey, Harley Gee, Noah Hixson and Corey Dewitt to graduation. Hennessey and Gee qualified for the regional tournament, Hennessey was on the Herald-Standard AllArea Wrestling Team and Gee was honorable mention. Hixson was a two-time WPIAL qualifier during his career.

Mapletown has eight seniors on the roster with captains Brian Brady and Seth Shubert leading the way. Brady will most likely wrestle at 132/138 after winning 25 matches last season. Brady suffered from injuries last year, but is ready to come back and make

Mapletown’s Brian Brady controls West Greene Joey Chapman in their 126-pound bout last season during the TriCADA Wrestling Tournament at Albert Gallatin High School. Brady returns for the Maples this season after winning 25 matches as a junior last year.

a run.

Shubert (152) had 25 wins as well in 2015-2016, and qualified for the WPIAL Individual Tournament, but got caught in a tough bracket at 138 and didn’t qualify for the regional tournament.

Shilk is happy with the progress Shubert has made.

“Seth (Shubert) worked hard this summer,” Shilk said. “He has a strong work ethic and is determined to get to regionals and states this year.

“We want to get beyond regionals and to states for this senior class. We used to be a team that was done in the first two hours at sectionals, and then we got into the WPIALs and regionals. We want to move beyond that this season and get some guys to states.”

Senior Brandon Smotzer (160) has qualified for the WPIALs, but was not able to get past sectionals

last season. Smotzer won 20 matches last year.

Senior football players Tristan Franks (182) and Gavin Uphold (195) were intending to wrestle last season but injuries on the gridiron forced them out early in the season. Both are back and ready to contribute.

The Maples don’t have high numbers and usually see wrestlers move from the area, but will benefit at 126 with senior Caleb Reynolds filling the spot after moving from Trinity. Reynolds has mat experience and also worked out at local wrestling clubs.

Regional qualifier and junior Tanner Weston returns to Mapletown’s lineup at 220. Weston was honorable mention on the Herald-Standard’s All-Area Wrestling Team.

The Maples have several

first-year seniors and young kids that will look to get on the mat.

Mapletown has scrimmaged at Fort Cherry and at the Chartiers Valley Mega Scrimmage. Its first competition is at the Chartiers-Houston Tournament on Dec. 9 and 10 before opening up section play on Dec. 14 when it hosts the Bulldogs at 7 p.m.

“The guys believe in what they’re doing and we also got some other kids to come out after last year’s success,” Shilk said. “We are excited to wrestle at the Chartiers-Houston Tournament to help our younger guys get some experience. In the past, we jumped right into our section and I think wrestling in that first tournament makes us a little battle tested when we go against a tough Beth-Center squad that is well coached.”

California University of Pennsylvania men’s basketball dropped a 78-74 contest to Millersville on Sunday in Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) crossover play at the Convocation Center on the Cal U campus.

The Vulcans are 0-4 in league action and 2-7 overall. The Marauders improved to 3-1 in league play and 4-3 overall.

Cal freshman guard Ramon Creighton scored a team-high 20 points (14 second half) on 9-of-19 shooting from the floor, two rebounds and two assists in 36 minutes. The Pittsburgh native has led the Vulcans in scoring in seven of nine games this year, including five 20point games.

Cal U shot 47.0 percent (31of-66) from the field while converting 45.5 percent (5-of-11) from the free-throw line. The Marauders shot 42.9 percent (27-of-63) from the floor, including 36.4 percent (12-of-33) from three-point territory. The Vulcans finished with a 43-33 rebounding advantage.

Millersville sophomore Marcus Adkison scored a game-high 32 points after going 9-of-16 from beyond the arc.

California junior Cordell Smith scored 14 points and had nine rebounds, while dishing out a team-high five assists. Daniel Sapp and Tony Richardson both scored 10 points for the Vulcans, and Richardson added nine rebounds.

Santia wants Southmoreland wrestling to take next step

By Jonathan Guth

jguth@heraldstandard.com

Steve Santia wants Southmoreland’s wrestling team to achieve the status that Burrell has.

The Buccaneers’ wrestling program has won 10 consecutive WPIAL titles, and the former Hempfield wrestler who won a state championship his senior year before playing football at California University of Pennsylvania wants his team to follow that example.

“I want to make Southmoreland a Burrell,” Santia said.

“I am on year five here after spending the first four as an assistant and it will take some time, but the numbers almost doubled in our middle school program and they are also up in the youth program.”

Santia is entering his first year as head coach at Southmoreland, replacing Ryan Shaw who stepped down last year for personal reasons.

Santia was instrumental in the success of Jake Beistel, who graduated last year but not before winning a PIAA championship. Beistel, who is playing football at Saint Francis, finished his career at 151-18. Santia worked

personally to develop Beistel at 285.

“It couldn’t have happened to a better kid,” Santia said referring to Beistel capping his career with a state title.

In addition to losing Beistel, the Scotties’ Evan Myers graduated last season. Myers qualified for the state tournament as a junior and is currently wrestling in college for Clarion University.

Junior Tyler Griffiths

(132) is Santia’s most accomplished returning wrestler.

Griffiths qualified for the state tournament the last two seasons and placed eighth as a freshman.

“It was a little rough for him last year in the state tournament,” Santia said. “He ran into the really good bracket and lost in the quarters. Is was tough for him.”

Fellow junior Jaden Datz is scheduled to take the mat at 160. Datz is a two-time regional qualifier.

“Jaden was right in the mix last year,” Santia said. “We are looking for him to get to the state tournament this year.”

Sophomore Ryan Mauro, who moved from Connellsville, will start at 220. Mauro was successful in junior high and looks to take the next step at the varsity level.

Senior Zach Bixler struggled during his first few seasons at the varsity level but has worked hard and was a WPIAL Individual Qualifier last year.

proof that it can be done. The former Vulcan never wrestled until high school and uses that as motivation for his inexperienced wrestlers.

“Pacey (Cramer) is a great kid that works hard,” Santia said. “I use my examples as an athlete to encourage kids to come out. I was always a pretty good athlete, but if you work hard you can do it. I always tell the kids, ‘If I can do it, you can do it.’”

The Scotties will compete in Class AA, Section 2-A, with Derry, Elizabeth Forward, Frazier, Mount Pleasant and Yough.

Santia has a young squad and has 15 kids out, but some of the weight classes have more than one wrestler. Southmoreland will most likely have to forfeit 106 and 113.

“It is tough to forfeit those two weights and start out down by 12 before the first match is wrestled but we are not missing the team playoffs,” Santia said.

“I really like what we have in our future and I’m not afraid to say we have a chance next year to go to Hershey.

“I think Derry is the frontrunner in our section and I think we can be No. 2. We will have to work hard, but I like our chances.”

Memory Lane

Monessen grad Crabtree has ties to Fayette County Former NFL player’s mother was from Brownsville

By George Von Benko For the Herald-Standard

Eric Crabtree is one of many great athletes to come out of Western Pennsylvania. Crabtree went to high school at Monessen, but it is a little known fact that he has Fayette County ties, his mother was from Brownsville.

“My family was from Brownsville,” Crabtree stated. “That’s basically where I began to play sports competitively. I lived in Brownsville. I was there every summer and every holiday. I lived in Monessen, but I spent all my summers as I was growing up in Brownsville. That’s where I played most of my sports until I got about nine or 10 years old.”

Crabtree was a part of some great football teams during his high school years at Monessen. The Greyhounds went 9-1 his junior season, and were knocked out of a match up with Class AAA champion Beaver Falls and Joe Namath in 1960, when they lost to McKeesport, 26-13.

The Greyhounds rebounded in 1961 under second-year head coach Joe Gladys and posted a 10-0 record and Wilkinsburg, 7-6, in the Class AA WPIAL Championship game in front of a then record crowd for a WPIAL football game, as some 18,886 watched at Forbes Field on Nov. 24, 1961.

“We had a lot talent at Monessen,” Crabtree recalled.

“It was a small high school. I don’t know why but everything seemed to come together at one time. We had great athletes. We had the “Big Three,” as we were called, with myself, Bill Malinchak and Ben Jones.

Matsuyama honored to win tournament in Woods’ return NASSAU, Bahamas (AP) — Hideki Matsuyama was only 5 when he first saw Tiger Woods, watching on videotape that 1997 Masters victory. Even sweeter was standing next to Woods in his Sunday red shirt to receive yet another trophy.

Right now, the Japanese star can’t seem to lose.

The return of Tiger Woods ended with Matsuyama winning his third straight tournament, and fourth out of his last five, in the Hero World Challenge.

“I can’t say that I played well today, but I did win Tiger’s tournament,” Matsuyama said. “And what a great honor that is.”

Matsuyama had a few nervous moments on the back nine at Albany when his seven-shot lead at the start of the final round was reduced to two shots over British Open champion Henrik Stenson with two to play.

Matsuyama closed with two pars for a 1-over 73 and a two-shot victory.

Woods found plenty of positives from his first tournament in more than 15 months, though the final round featured three double bogeys and a 76 — the highest score of the tournament — that dropped him to 15th place out of 17 players.

“It feels good to be back out here playing again, competing and trying to beat the best players in the world,” Woods said. “I missed it. I love it.”

Matsuyama is moving up in class quickly.

His big run started with a three-shot victory in the Japan Open. He was runnerup in Malaysia, then became

Matsuyama, who finished at 18-under 270, won $1 million and remained at No. 6 in the world. He ended his streak of 17 consecutive founds in the 60s. Stenson, playing with him in the final group, closed with a 68 and

Mummers seek inclusive tone after insensitive displays PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Organizers of the Mummers Parade are hopeful that cultural education efforts will help the city’s annual New Year’s celebration be more respectful and inclusive following a string of racially and ethnically offensive displays.

offensive incidents.

The sensitivity training sessions are not mandatory, but a voluntary initiative between Mummers and the city. Nellie Fitzpatrick, Philadelphia’s LGBT liaison, led the session on homophobia and transphobia, and said much of the response was positive.

“While they might think a skit making fun of Caitlyn Jenner is teasing a celebrity deserving of ridicule, for many people, by attacking her, it is sanctioning and approving a message that making fun of transgender people is an OK thing to do,” Fitzpatrick explained.

“Some Mummers have reached out and said, ‘We didn’t know. This was really informative.’

That gives me hope that there can be a different experience.”

For much of their history, Mummers groups included only white men. Women were allowed just a few decades ago. The tradition is also a family legacy, with many clubs based in south Philadelphia.

The Mummers have struggled to diversify, though the parade did create a division last year specifically for ethnic groups. Two new Hispanic performance groups, a black drill team and the LGBT Miss Fancy Brigade were among the participants.

That division is not returning this year, as organizers hope to incorporate diversity into the existing Mummer divisions.

Steve Coper, a saxophonist who also performs in the Fralinger String Band, said his club has been sensitive to how they represent different groups, citing a Native American theme they adopted in 2007.

“We went into research to make sure it was appropriate and that we were playing songs in the right way,” Coper said. “We sought advice from experts. Most of us are aware and most of us want to do all the right things and be very entertaining.”

Coper attended trainings on satire and on LGBT issues, and said he found the sessions helpful and necessary.

“Last year, we had some issues ... certain performances and behaviors that were not so hot,” he said. “We have a responsibility to do some course corrections. We need to be more inclusive and more aware that these communities exist, that they need to be supported ...

We shouldn’t denigrate anyone.”

n I will make an effort to stay up to date on technology and will thoughtfully research any questions or requests my child has concerning apps, texting and the web. n I will listen calmly and discuss any concerns my child has regarding bullying or inappropriate content issues on their phone.

A child should agree to these and any other terms a parent feels necessary before having the privilege of using a cellphone.

Kids should understand a parent can take phone privileges away if any rules are broken.

The whole family tech experience will go much more smoothly if the newest phone user knows the expectations and possible consequences before ever taking their first selfie.

How to set up your child for first-time cellphone success Deseret News Service

So you took all the pros and cons into consideration and have decided to buy your child that first mobile phone for Christmas.

Congratulations and condolences. Now what?

It’s time to do more research, make sure the phone is set up properly for your child, and then have many conversations with him or her before and after you hand over the digital keys to the cellphone kingdom.

First, parents need to decide if their child should have a dumb phone or a smartphone.

If the decision is to go with a phone unable to go online, moms and dads can tell their kid that they will only have talk and text ability to begin their phone journey.

Parents may want their child’s first phone without internet capabilities for many reasons: n Children won’t be

tempted to surf the web since they won’t have a browser. n Kids won’t have access to any apps, which takes a big chunk of the worry equation away from parents. n No chance of kids going over data limits. n Much lower cost of replacement if the phone is broken. n Many dumb phones have decent cameras and are fairly indestructible, which is great for younger children.

Parents may decide to start with a smartphone because mom is upgrading, or dad wants everyone on the same family sharing plan.

If a smartphone is the way to go, make sure to prep the phone properly before handing it over.

For iOS: Set up Restrictions. Go to Settings/General/Restrictions. Type in a PIN. Only you as the parent will have the ability to turn on or off nearly any feature on an iPhone.

you — is tracking your child’s locations. You may want to start by not allowing your child to download any apps, disabling the web browser and banning explicit and mature content.

Parental controls on iOS are fairly comprehensive and user-friendly.

For Android: Go to Settings/Users/Add user. Then create a specific user account to decide whether or not to allow internet access and the App Store, and filter content.

Some Android phone manufacturers also offer software to help with parental controls.

If parents want more robust features, a thirdparty app may be the answer. Parents may also choose the option of buying parental control services from their wireless carrier. These are add-on packages to help parents monitor usage, set limits and track phones for an extra fee.

Finally, parents should talk with their

child about rules that will go into effect if they are privileged enough to use a cellphone.

It’s really tough to backtrack and try to set rules after kids have already had free rein with a phone.

Set up guidelines and sign a contract before kids ever get their hands on that shiny new gadget.

Make up the rules — and the consequences — together.

Children will understand and follow those rules much better if they are part of the process.

LifeLock and the National PTA have made the whole child/parent tech contract process easier. They collaborated on an interactive contract building website that anyone can use. Some ideas of responsibilities for the child: n My parents will know the pass code to the phone and may check it at any time. n I will always answer a text or phone

call from a parent. n I will never respond to unknown numbers. n I understand these could be spam and may cause all sorts of problems. n I agree to plug my phone in by ——— o’clock every school night and by ——— o’clock on the weekends in my parents’ bedroom. n I understand and will obey my school’s cellphone rules. n I may face consequences at home as well as at school if I break these rules. n I am aware of my text/talk/data limits and will be responsible for any cost associated with going over those limits. n I will be responsible for repairing or replacing a lost or damaged phone. n I will never text, post or take a photo or video of anything I wouldn’t want on a neighborhood billboard or broadcast at a school assembly.

Some responsibilities for the parent:

Extend holiday gratitude all year round

By Malissa Morrell Deseret News Service

Reciting a polite “thank you” is one of the first social expectations that parents teach their children. We all know how to answer the question, “What do you say?” when an adult raises an eyebrow and waits for that thankful response. However, the ability to deliver a welltimed and rehearsed “thank you” is not the same as exhibiting genuine gratitude.

Major events, such as the holiday season, may turn our focus to joy, peace and time with loved ones, but they can also bring stress, disappointment and distraction.

With all the expectations and overcrowded schedules at this time of year, it can be easy to lose sight of the qualities that bring us the most happiness, including gratitude.

How can we move past being thankful to being truly grateful?

Decades of research into positive psychology teach us what characteristics, habits and tendencies are shared by the world’s happiest people.

Almost without fail, gratitude makes it into the top lists, and studies have consistently found that people who score high on gratitude have increased energy, optimism, determination, connectedness to others and even better quality

of sleep.

Richard Emmons, Ph.D., has made a career of studying the effects of gratitude through his work at UC Davis.

He has found that people with a daily gratitude practice show evidence of higher quality of life in many areas than a control group of people who don’t.

However, in several of his

studies, he also noted that a gratitude intervention didn’t do anything to reduce the amount of unpleasant emotions scored by either group.

In other words, it may be that increasing your expressions of gratitude may improve your quality of life, even when your life itself doesn’t improve.

Thanksgiving is, of course,

a time to pause and give thanks for all of the things we enjoy in life.

Many families have the tradition of waiting around the dinner table for each person to list one thing they are grateful for at the annual feast. However, acknowledging thankfulness just one day a year is not enough to build a habit of gratitude that will improve so many areas of your life.

Much of the research on gratitude’s powerful effects centers around a daily habit or practice of gratitude. The more we appreciate the small things around us, the more we will start to look for things to be grateful for.

Over time, through cultivating a gratitude practice, we begin to focus on the positive and de-emphasize the negative.

We start to notice how much we have, rather than how much we lack.

By embracing a daily routine of gratitude, we train our thoughts to embrace abundance and can better tolerate the negatives of daily irritations and annoyances.

Remember, the key is to get into a routine of gratitude and to practice recording and expressing gratitude for the long-term, rather than just one day a year. The best way to do this is a gratitude journal. Studies show that

people who keep gratitude journals also take better care of their health, experience less physical pain, and even achieve more goals.

Here are some creative ways you can keep a gratitude journal and harness the power of gratitude for a more positive life: n A simple gratitude list, added to daily, can be kept on a notepad or index card. n A nightly gratitude check-in, such as at the dinner table, can encourage family members to focus on building this important skill. n A 5-year diary, providing space for only a few lines per day, provides a concise and approachable format for something as simple as a daily gratitude note. n Consider using a camera to take a photo of something that you are grateful for every day. You could even post these photos to a social media account dedicated to your gratitude practice. n Make a gratitude scrapbook or “smashbook” by keeping tickets, receipts, photos, quotes and other daily reminders of your gratitude.

However you do it, make your gratitude journal something simple enough that you can do every day but rich enough that you train yourself to look for the blessings, both large and small, that daily life offers to all of us.

Teens are reading books by text messages thanks to startup

By The Washington Post

OK, it’s not exactly Dickens. But how about a great story delivered to you by text message?

That’s the idea hatched by Prerna Gupta and Parag Chordia.

The two entrepreneurs launched their company, Telepathic, a year ago with an application called Hooked after raising $1.9 million from investors that included numerous venture capital firms and Lean Startup author Eric Ries, according to this piece by Anthony Ha in TechCrunch.

And the kids, they do love it.

This week, Quartz reports the service has grown to more than 1.8 million downloads, mostly by the company’s target audience of 13-24 year olds. It’s recently become the top grossing book app for iOS in the

book. The company is also tracking which stories are eliciting the most engagement so that they can continue the tale and even branch out to related stories.

There are about 200 writers who create stories specifically for

the app, and the criteria is specific. They must be addictive and cut to the chase — not too much character development, complex imagery and flowery language.

“While I don’t think it was a great piece of literature,” Ha wrote. “I

have to admit that the mystery grabbed me — I kept hitting the ‘Next’ button until I reached the end.”

A great app with a great name from a great small business and it’s a hit.

Are you hooked yet?

— Anthony Ha of TechCrunch United States and is now competing with Amazon’s Kindle and Audible apps to be the number one free book app in the U.S. Apple store too.

Books by text?

It works like this. You pick a book from one of the many available genres (horror, science fiction, romance, etc.).

You start receiving a number of texts with the story until you’re completely hooked.

And then the app will pause for half an hour.

You then get so impatient that you want to get the paid version ($2.99

a week, $7.99 a month, $39.99 a year) to avoid these annoying delays.

That’s the revenue model, in case you were wondering.

People do get hooked.

The two founders did extensive testing with 15,000 people and found that a typical person only completed reading 35 percent of the books on a mobile-optimized website.

But the people who received those same books via text messages became so attached to the story that 85 percent of them completed the

Bridge

By Phillip Alder

The most prolific bridge-book author is David Bird from England, with well over 100 titles. The monks of St. Titus, led by the egocentric Abbot, are his most famous characters.

In “The Abbot, the Parrot and the Bermuda Bowl” (Master Point Press), the Bozwambi tribe from the Upper Bhumpopo has qualified for the 2015 Bermuda Bowl in India.

The players had learned bridge from missionaries sent there by the Abbot many years ago. When the Abbot visits the tribe and learns of their success, he insists on being added to the team. His teammates are Miss Nabooba, Mrs. Okoku, Mbozi and the Witchdoctor; his partner is the Parrot, the tribe’s best player.

The Parrot made this four-spade contract look easy. What did he do after West led the heart queen?

Declarer needed to find trumps splitting 2-1, but he still might have lost one spade and three diamonds if East got on lead and shifted to a high diamond, West having the ace hovering over South’s king.

To maximize his chances, the Parrot won the first trick, ruffed his remaining heart on the board and led a trump. When East played the 10, the Parrot flicked a low spade onto the table. West won with his queen, but had no winning defense. If he had played a club, declarer would have drawn the missing trump and claimed 10 tricks: four spades, one heart, four clubs and the heart ruff. When West, in desperation, shifted to a diamond, hoping South had only queen-third, the contract made with an overtrick.

The deals are instructive and the prose entertaining — as usual from this author.

— If you do your own thing, you’ll make a lasting impression.

Your ability to set goals and meet them will put you in a good position for advancement and increased opportunities.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Don’t sit back when you should be looking for ideas and starting conversations with people who want to make a difference. Set high standards and impressive goals, and stick to them.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Take a close look at your financial situation and health.

Look for a way to cut corners without incurring more debt.

Set up a health routine that will strengthen you mentally,

Crossword

physically and emotionally.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Don’t take anything for granted, and focus on preparation. A detailed approach to getting things done will help you gain acceptance and rewards.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Engage in interesting spurof-the-moment plans. Taking part in something will help you recognize what it is you want to pursue. Don’t let anyone deter you from following your dreams.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Don’t get angry when you can get even. Accomplishing your goals and gaining respect from your peers will help you overcome lingering bad feelings from a rival’s efforts.

Report: FBI agent told statehouse sting targeted Democrats ©2016 AccuWeather, Inc.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — An FBI agent has said an informant in a Pennsylvania statehouse sting told him he was discouraged from targeting Republicans in a case that brought down five Democrats.

The Philadelphia Inquirer reported Sunday that FBI Special Agent Richard Haag’s comments come in a defense filing for Democratic state Rep. Vanessa Lowery Brown. She is the only defendant in the case still in office.

Former state prosecutor Frank Fina and Philadelphia District Attorney Seth Williams, a Democrat, denied they had any partisan motive when they took over the case from the Attorney General’s Office.

“Never, ever was he told to steer towards one party or another,” Fina told the newspaper, speaking of informant Tyron Ali. Ali began cooperating with Fina in 2010 to

win leniency in a state fraud case. Haag wrote in a 2013 email that Ali said he had been “reprimanded” for approaching Republicans during the sting investigation and told “not to take any initiative in contacting Republicans in the future.”

The email appears to contradict Ali’s testimony during a March pretrial hearing in Brown’s case, when he said he was never told to spare Republicans.

Brown’s defense lawyers acquired Haag’s email, and a sworn affidavit, as they try to have the case thrown out. Brown was recorded taking $4,000 in cash from Ali in 2011.

Fina started the probe under then-Republican Attorney General Tom Corbett. Democrat Kathleen Kane succeeded him in office and shut it down, saying the probe could appear racially motivated. All five officials convicted to date are black Democrats from Philadelphia.

“The FBI file speaks traffic judge Thomasine for itself and confirms Tynes, who took a $2,000 what I have always said: bracelet, were convicted that this investigation was fatally flawed from the beginning,” Kane told the Inquirer for Sunday’s story. However, Haag, the FBI agent, wrote in the email that “Ali said he had never been instructed to target individuals based on their race or ethnicity.”

Kane left office this year after her conviction on perjury and obstruction charges in a case that centered on her feud with Fina.

She remains free on bail while appealing her conviction and 10- to 23month sentence.

Flu shots are recommended for those between the ages of 6 months and 4-8 years of age, according to health officials.

Flu shots advised as season begins

By Olivia Goudy

ogoudy@heraldstandard.com

ith flu season in full swing, health officials are stressing the importance of seasonal vaccines.

“The flu is dangerous, especially for young children and the elderly,” said Surabhi Gaur M.D., medical director at the Uniontown Hospital’s Emergency Department. “It’s more than cold symptoms and body aches. It can be a lot worse, especially if you have medical problems.”

“The flu doesn’t get a lot of the more devastating press like other viruses like Zika or Ebola.

But the flu kills more people every year than either of those,” she added. “The flu is far more dangerous than we give it credit for.”

The flu affects everyone differently, according to April Hutcheson, a press secretary with the PA Department of Health.

“Symptoms can range from mild to severe, possibly leading to hospitalization and sometimes death. Even healthy people can get very sick from the flu, which is why it’s so important that everyone, not just particularly vulnerable demographic groups, get their flu shot,” Hutcheson said.

A study from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention published this summer indicated that people 50 years and older who got a flu vaccine reduced their risk of getting hospitalized from the flu by 57 percent.

“I think there’s a generation of people emerging, like myself, who have been spoiled. We grew up in an era of vaccinations,” Gaur said. “If we are lax on them, we could bring back devastating diseases.”

“The flu changes every year, but the vaccines change accordingly,” she added.

A flu shot, however, does not mean invincibility to influenza.

According to the CDC, there is still a possibility of getting the flu even with a vaccination.

“The ability of flu vaccine to protect a person depends on various factors, including the age and health status of the person being vaccinated and also the similarity or “match” between the viruses used to make the vaccine and those circulating in the community,” according to the CDC.

“The flu doesn’t get a lot of the more devastating press like other viruses like Zika or Ebola. But the flu kills more people every year than either of those.”

— Surabhi Gaur M.D., medical director, emergency department, Uniontown Hospital Who, when, where?

Medical officials advise parents to take their children for flu shots as early as six months of age.

Hutcheson said they recommend annual shots until they’re 4 years old.

Though Gaur said there is no “golden age” as to when older adults should get a flu shot, Hutcheson said they recommend it for people over the age of 50.

“The more people who get vaccinated, the less chance the flu has of spreading in a community,” Hutcheson said.

There’s a special emphasis for those with weakened immune systems, pregnant women and those who are at high risk of serious complications from the flu, she said.

As for when residents should consider getting a flu shot, Hutcheson said the best time is now.

“It’s important to get the flu shot as early as possible because it takes your body about two weeks after vaccination to build the antibodies to fight the flu,” she said.

Residents can do so by talking with their primary care physician or child’s pediatrician. Gaur said “minute clinics” like Walgreens and Rite Aid offer flu shots as well.

“There are a lot of valid options.

We especially recommend that children first see their pediatrician in case there’s issues with the child reacting to the vaccine.

It’s best that they’re

involved in that process,” Gaur said.

At Uniontown Hospital, Gaur said there haven’t been many cases of the flu yet.

“It’s not terribly prevalent.

That might be in part of people doing their job and getting vaccinated,” she said.

No spray; expect a jab As residents consider their vaccine options, the CDC recommends the use of injectable influenza vaccines, according to their website.

This year, they’re also advising against the nasal spray flu vaccine that was previously recommended.

FluMist, with its squirt into each nostril, was the only needle-free alternative for children and has accounted for about a third of pediatric flu vaccinations in recent years.

Studies from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found in the past few years that FluMist hasn’t protected against certain influenza strains as well as regular flu shots.

The CDC says FluMist should not be used in the U.S. this year.

Tuesday, the

American Academy of Pediatrics agreed and urged youngsters to roll up their sleeves for a shot.

Dr. Wendy Sue Swanson of Seattle Children’s Hospital and the American Academy of Pediatrics said she has tricks to help ease tears and anxiety, like numbing the skin or distraction techniques like telling the youngster to cough on the count of three, coinciding with the poke. Sometimes the youngest feel braver by going first to show up older siblings. Swanson makes her own vaccination a family affair, parents and kids getting the shot together.

But her top advice: Parents, don’t lie and tell your kids the shot won’t hurt. Instead, tell them “it might hurt a bit but it doesn’t last long and you can do this.”

“There is no direct substitute that will work, and that includes the notion of avoiding other people with the flu,” Gaur said.

“Getting the injectable vaccine is unique to itself. We can’t stress enough how important it is to get your family, and yourself, vaccinated.”

Take Tylenol with care during pregnancy Dear Doctor: Will taking acetaminophen (Tylenol) during pregnancy increase the chances that the child will have ADHD or autism?

Dear Reader: Such concern is understandable.

Parents and parents-to-be have been alarmed over the past few years by two Danish studies that raise the specter of greater ADHD and autism risks among children whose mothers took the over-thecounter pain killer acetaminophen during pregnancy. But let’s look at these studies a little more closely.

The largest of these studies showed that, among children whose mothers ever used acetaminophen during pregnancy, 5.7 percent showed symptoms of hyperactivity by age 7.

Among children whose

Dr. Robert Ashley mothers never took acetaminophen, 4.3 percent showed symptoms of hyperactivity. Similar mild differences were also noted for emotional problems and overall conduct.

obese (BMI greater than 30) and more likely to have had a fever. Just having a fever during pregnancy has been associated with autism, behavioral abnormalities and problems with attention.

As for the autism study, it linked acetaminophen use during pregnancy to an IQ drop of 2 points in 5-yearolds. Here, the cause of the acetaminophen use is an especially important factor.

In this study, 37 percent of the mothers who used acetaminophen had fever; only 23 percent of those who didn’t use acetaminophen had fever. And again, those who used acetaminophen were more likely to be smokers.

So one has to ask: Why does someone take acetaminophen during pregnancy? The answer: To

reduce a fever. So fever may be the problem, not the acetaminophen. Further, women who smoke and are obese are more likely to be unhealthy during pregnancy, more likely to take acetaminophen for physical problems and more likely to have children who may also be less healthy.

Would I recommend acetaminophen regularly in pregnancy for joint pain and muscle aches?

Probably not, though I would take it for a fever and for moderate pain.

Otherwise, it’s better to do prenatal yoga, gentle stretching and maintain a good diet.

MAKE YOUR HOME MORE ENERGY MAKEYOUR ENERGY-EFFICIENT EFFICIENT Did you know that being green saves money, especially around the house? Homeowners annually lose hundreds of dollars to inefficient appliances and a drafty home. Making simple changes can benefit the planet and your bottom line.

Choose the Right Appliances Appliances in your home as well as certain behaviors can have a considerable impact on how much energy is consumed. The Energy Information Administration reports that the average home uses approximately 1,000 kilowatt hours (kwh) each month. Kwh is measured by multiplying the number of 1,000 watts of electricity used by the number of hours the device is in use.

Selecting energy-efficient appliances and using them in a conservative manner can reduce energy usage and the cost of your monthly utility bill. Try to run highwattage appliances during the evening or early-morning hours when energy rates may be reduced. Also, if the weather will be warm, running these appliances during cooler hours prevents the home from heating up even more -- possibly requiring the additional use of an air conditioner.

Unplug appliances when they’re not in use to avoid vampire drain. Many appliances still draw a small amount of power even when turned off. Also, be sure to properly insulate and position appliances so they can run at the highest level of efficiency.

Energy Audit You can request or hire individuals to conduct an energy audit or home energy assessment. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, the audit will assess how much energy your home consumes and evaluate what measures you can take to make your home more energy efficient.

If you prefer to do an energy audit yourself, you can look at a few key areas around the home where there may be air leaks or inefficient uses of energy. First, turn off any combustible appliances, such as water heaters and furnaces. Make sure the windows are closed, then turn on exhaust fans in the bathroom and kitchen to suck the air out of the rooms. Feel around outlets, doors, windows, baseboards, fireplaces, and attic hatches for any apparent leaks. Use a stick of incense to easily see the flow of air in the incense smoke.

If any leaks are found, address each one. This generally involves recaulking or sealing around points of entry. The DOE says the potential energy savings from reducing drafts in a home may range from 5 percent to 30 percent per year.

Additional Steps There are other steps you can take to make a home more efficient.

• Plant deciduous trees or bushes on the south- and west-facing areas of the home. The leaves will shade the home during the summer months and fall off to allow sunshine in during the winter months.

• Plant bushes by the front door to act as a wind buffer. • Use skylights to add light and warmth from the sun to the home.

• Think about using motion-activated lights in the home. • Install a new programmable thermostat.

• Check the insulation in attics and basements and install new if the insulation you currently have is no longer efficient.

• Install solar panels to draw power from the sun.
