The busy week starts on what is better known as Groundhog Day. Thousands of people make the trip to Punxsutawney and millions across the country watch in anticipation, waiting to see if a rodent held by tuxedo-clad handlers will see his shadow. If Punxsutawney Phil sees his shadow, it means six more weeks of winter.

If he doesn’t, spring will arrive early. That’s, of course, all based on highly scientific folklore.

spotlight. It should be great as long as a groundhog, two centuries-old farmers’ almanacs, emotional fans and political candidates are right. The week in question starts on Friday. Sure, that’s not exactly a Sunday and the beginning of a calendar week. But if we can let a groundhog decide the weather, we can decide Friday starts a week.

2. AN EAGLES SUPER BOWL The underdogs defied the odds and punched their ticket to the Super Bowl for the first time in 13 years. Philadelphia, vying for its first Super Bowl win, will face the New England Patriots at 6:30 p.m. Sunday. The Patriots are the reigning champions with five Super Bowl rings and a seemingly ageless, tireless and unbeatable quarterback in Tom Brady and a head coach ready to win at all costs. But this is Philadelphia’s year, according to longtime fans and football analysts who pay attention to momentum and an Eagles defense great at forcing turnovers.

Do no harm.

That is the cornerstone of the medical practice, and it’s an oath the Dauphin County commissioners say some in the profession have violated, costing many lives and millions of dollars.

The commissioners announced Wednesday they have filed a lawsuit against 11 drug manufacturers and three doctors they say ignored the addictive and debilitating effects of opioids and aggressively marketed the painkillers to make a profit.

They hired the law firm of Young, Ricchiuti, Caldwell & Heller from Philadelphia to file the suit on a contingency basis, meaning the firm will fund all upfront costs of litigation and only receive payment upon successful resolution, county officials say.

Commissioner Jeff Haste said the county has contemplated this action for some time and held a series of town hall meetings, hearing gut-wrenching stories from recovering addicts and family members. Many in law enforcement, government, and the medical and treatment professions have joined forces to fight the epidemic, he said, except for one group.

3. EAGLES VICTORY PARADE

4. A MAJOR NOR’EASTER

5. NEW BUDGET PLAN

This one depends on an Eagles win, but wouldn’t it be grand for fans who have longed for decades to see the Eagles hoist the Lombardi trophy on Broad Street. “It would be great,” said longtime Eagles fan and former Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell. “It’ll be 3 degrees but we’ll have more people at a parade than any city in the history of the country. I have no doubt. I predict that.” If there is a parade, it will likely be a couple days after the Super Bowl.

The Farmers’ Almanac, an annual publication that dates to 1818 and includes weather predictions and horoscopes, is calling for “a major nor’easter” in early February. Nor’easters carry heavy rain or snow, high winds and inspire Pennsylvanians to save their parking spaces with chairs. Extended forecasts from AccuWeather and The Weather Channel show a chance of snow a few times in early February. Before we pull out the galoshes, let’s see what the groundhog says.

Gov. Tom Wolf will reveal his 2018-19 budget Tuesday.

But it’s not just any budget proposal. It’s an election year. And that usually means good things and palatable changes for voters.

Politicians generally try to avoid angering voters in an election year.

President Donald Trump tried to shed the polarizing image and words that have stunted his popularity and thwarted his ability to pass bipartisan legislation, attempting to recast himself on Tuesday as a unifying figure in his first State of the Union address.

“Tonight, I call upon all of us to set aside our differences, to seek out common ground, and to summon the unity we need to deliver for the people,” he said at the top of his roughly 80-minute speech. “This is really the key: These are the people we were elected to serve.”

It was a striking difference in tone for a president who came into office decrying “American carnage” at his inaugural, and since then has often spoken and tweeted in harsh terms about his perceived enemies, including lawmakers of both parties and his vanquished opponent, Hillary Clinton.

Zembo’s future looks good, Shriners say Buyer plans to make updates, keep events Steve Marroni smarroni@pennlive.com

It’s a bittersweet moment for the Shriners.

They have sold what has been their home for nearly a century, but at the same time, the Zembo Shrine Center is going to a buyer who intends to not only preserve the iconic uptown building, but also expand the entertainment options that can be held there.

The Shriners have reached a sales agreement with TempleLive, a subsidiary of the Beaty Capital Group out of Arkansas, and they expect to finalize the deal by spring, said Shriner and Zembo Shrine Recorder Huey Long.

“We don’t want to see our building go, but we are very pleased the anticipated purchaser will be keeping this building in its current state and will be doing many improvements and updates as needed so it will always be here,” he said.

Harrisburg city officials announced the sale on Monday and said it will be a boon to the community.

“We support TempleLive’s plans to preserve an important part of Harrisburg’s history,” said Mayor Eric Papenfuse.

“This is a truly wonderful development for our city.”

Mike Brown, the vice president of acquisitions and development for the Beaty Group, said the plan calls for preserving the building while making some much-needed upgrades, such as adding air conditioning to the 2,500-seat theater.

“We’re looking at it as a national touring stop for events like music and comedy,” Brown said. “It can further be used for private and corporate functions and weddings.”

The events currently planned at the shrine are still on schedule, including the Kids Care Expo from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

March 10, followed by the 71st annual Zembo Shrine Circus March 22 through 25.

And Brown said he expects those events to continue, right along with concerts and gatherings.

The Shriners reluctantly put the Zembo Shrine Center on the market last year because of declining membership, Long said. The shrine had 10,000 members during its heyday, but is now down to 2,500. While they’re actively looking for new members, there are a few steps that have to be completed before one can become a Shriner — including earning the rank of Master Mason in a Masonic Lodge.<The sale price

PHILADELPHIA

Pa. high court agrees to jump into soda tax fight Opponents say levy is bad for business Matt Miller mmiller@pennlive.com

The state Supreme Court has decided to step into the wildly fizzing battle over Philadelphia’s “soda tax.”

The state’s highest court did so by agreeing to hear an appeal by opponents of the levy, including the American, Pennsylvania and Philadelphia beverage associations.

The issue to be weighed by the justices is whether the soda tax amounts to unjust double-taxation since the state also taxes those beverages.

This will be the third try by the tax’s foes to kill the tariff in a courtroom. A Philadelphia judge backed the levy, as did a divided Commonwealth Court panel in a decision issued in July.

It is the Commonwealth Court ruling that

the opponents appealed to the Supreme Court.

Five people with criminal convictions of assault, drug pushing and illegal possession of a firearm were sitting in the driver’s seat of school buses transporting School District of Lancaster students despite being ineligible to do so, according to a state audit released this week.

While that is the most extreme case of school bus driver qualification problems that his auditors encountered in any one school district, state Auditor General Eugene DePasquale said it’s not the first time they’ve seen this.

Since 2013, his auditors have found 724 deficiencies in 58 school districts where driver documentation including a valid driver’s license, criminal background checks and other required certification were missing. In every instance, it has involved drivers employed by outside bus contractors that districts hire.

“Clearly, protecting the students must be a top priority,” DePasquale said at a Capitol news conference where the results of the Lancaster school district audit were shared.

He is calling on all school districts to be more vigilant about ensuring all of their bus drivers, whether in-house employees or employed by an outside contractor, meet the state’s requirements for transporting students, which include a valid driver’s license with an endorsement indicating completion of school bus skills and safety training, an annual physical exam, a state and federal criminal background check, child abuse clearance and an arrest/conviction report and certification form.

The soda tax, which the city already collects, requires distributors of sweetened beverages to pay a 1.5-cent per fluid ounce levy for every unit shipped for retail sale.

The tax isn’t directly imposed on consumers of the drinks.

Opponents claim the soda tax is discriminatory and illegal since it taxes products that already are subject to Pennsylvania’s 6 percent sales tax. They also have insisted that the soda tax is bad for business.

Income from the soda tax is supposed to be used for parks, schools, pre-K programs and to help balance Philadelphia’s budget.

The Commonwealth Court was split when it took on the soda tax scuffle. The court majority found the soda tax isn’t illegally duplicative because it is imposed on distributors while the sales tax is paid by consumers. Two dissenters, Judges Anne Covey and Renee Cohn Jubelier, argued that the soda tax is illegal because it is based on the retailing of the same product that is targeted by the sales tax.

Flu cases, deaths continue rising in Pa. Barbara Miller bmiller@pennlive.com

Flu cases continued to rise last week in Pennsylvania, with 18 more deaths and 9,000 more cases reported.

Dr. Rachel Levine, acting state health secretary and physician general, warned residents confirmed flu cases have nearly doubled in the past two weeks, making this the most severe flu season in recent years.

In the week ending Jan. 27, total flu deaths this season were 65, which is 38 percent more than the 47 deaths reported the week before.

Of the deaths, 48 were people 65 and over; 12 ages 50-64; three ages 19-49; and two were 18 and under. The prior week ending Jan. 20, there were 15 deaths.

There are now 35,4543 confirmed cases in the state. “It is not too late to get a flu shot, and if you haven’t gotten one, visit your doctor, local pharmacy or even grocery store to get one,” Levine said.

“If you have the flu, stay home and call your doctor to see if you should get antiviral drugs, such as Tamiflu. Hand-washing is critically important since the virus can be spread through surfaces,” Levine said.

Allegheny County remains the hot spot in the state where flu is concerned, with 5,252 cases — the most by far of any county.

The majority of cases — 62 percent — are Type A H3N2, which is included in the current flu vaccine. Type B accounted for 25 percent of cases.

The vaccine protects from several strains of Type A, which makes people the sickest, and also Type B flu viruses.

Man accused of killing wife in 1983 bound over for trial

Teacher charged in theft is superintendent’s daughter

Wesley Robinson wrobinson@pennlive.com

Nearly 35 years after the death of his wife, Carl Edward Rodgers was ordered to stand trial in connection to the homicide.

Rodgers, 62, of Shermans Dale, was bound for trial after a preliminary hear­ ing before District Judge Michael Schectery. Rodg­ ers is charged with crimi­ nal homicide in connection to the April 22, 1983, death of his wife, Debra Jane Rod­ gers.

According to the attorney general’s office, the incident and investigation unfolded like this: Debra Rodgers returned home from work late at night on April 22, 1983, and she and her husband got into an argument.

ACADEMY AWARD BEST ACTRESS

MARGOT ROBBIE BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS ALLISON JANNEY

Carl Rodgers, 62, of Sher­ mans Dale, was charged in November with homicide in connection with the 1983 killing of his wife.

It was the next day that Carl Rodgers told her fam­ ily that his wife had been depressed about her job and had gone missing. He led them on a search through the state forest about 8 miles away from their home near

Loysville. Going down a nar­ row access road into a heav­ ily wooded area, they found Debra’s car, but she was nowhere in sight.

As night fell, they called off the search, but Rodg­ ers refused to leave the car out in the woods. Despite the family’s pleas to leave it there in case she returns looking for it, he drove the car back to their farm.

The following day, April 24, the search resumed, and Rodgers suggested he search a ridge line with his brother-in-law while the rest of the family trudge through woods below. That’s where Debra’s mother made the discovery.

Debra Rodgers body was lying just a few hundred yards from where her car had been parked, her shirt was pulled halfway up her torso, as if she had been dragged. A knife was found nearby. The sheath bore the name “Carl.”

Though her wrists had been slashed deeply to appear she had killed her­

self, investigators say it is unlikely that those wounds were self-inflicted. The cor­ oner’s report backed this up, saying Debra died of blunt-force trauma to the head and torso and ruled her death a homicide.

No one was charged, though, and her death went unsolved.

Cold cases are periodi­ cally reviewed, but it wasn’t until last year when senior deputy attorneys general Kelly Sekula and Heather Castellino met with the state police to review this referral from the Perry County district attorney’s office.

Among the evidence they reviewed were incon­ sistent stories Rodgers had made throughout the investigation, such as the mood his wife had been in.

He also knew some facts about the case that only the killer would know.

Online court records did not indicate when Rodg­ ers would appear in Perry County Court.

A Susquenita High School math teacher accused of stealing a student’s purse and using the teen’s Victoria’s Secret gift card is also the superintendent’s daughter.

Superintendent Kent Smith’s profile on Susquenita School District’s page lists Tara Smith as his daughter.

In 2012, the Susquenita School Board waived its anti-nepotism policy to hire Tara Smith. The policy was also waived so five employees with relatives on staff or on the board could be retroactively hired.

In arrest papers filed with District Judge Daniel R. McGuire, Trooper Steven Papinchak said Tara Smith admitted that she had stolen the 14-year-old’s purse and had used the gift card. Tara Smith, 34, of Harrisburg, is facing charges of theft by unlawful taking, receiving sto­ len property and access device fraud. — Travis Kellar, tkellar@pennlive.com

CUMBERLAND COUNTY

Drug overdose killed inmate, coroner says A Cumberland County Prison inmate who was found unconscious in a housing unit this month died of a drug overdose, the county coroner said Wednesday.

Toxicology testing showed the drug that killed 28-yearold William Keller of Harrisburg was fentanyl, Coroner Charles Hall said.

Prison officials said Keller, who was serving time in a receiving stolen property case, was found unresponsive in the work-release housing unit around 8:45 p.m. on Jan. 9.

Middlesex Township police are investigating how Keller acquired the drug that killed him. Fentanyl is a powerful and highly-addictive painkiller that sometimes is mixed with heroin to form a deadly narcotic cocktail.

Hall noted that since Keller was on work-release, he left the prison during the day for employment. — Matt Miller, mmiller@pennlive.com

Offi­ cers found a victim who told police Detwiler had threat­ ened harm and struck them in the head. Officers were also told Detwiler had threatened and strangled an immediate family member, causing injury. He was taken to Cumber­ land County Prison. Detwiler is charged with strangula­ tion, simple assault, terroristic threats and harassment.

He has burned a com­ bined Confederate-Nazi flag on courthouse steps around the state, and even at NASCAR events, and Wednesday, activist Gene Stilp did so in Harrisburg.

At noon, as cars whizzed by on Front Street, Stilp and a small group of supporters held the flag above a metal trash can.

They turned it over, show­ ing the orange and blue

of the Confederate flag on one side and the sharp red emblazoned with a swastika on the other. Only a hand­ ful of people gathered in the cold outside of the Dauphin County Courthouse to watch his brief demonstration, but Stilp said the low turnout was fine. He doesn’t want to draw a crowd. He wants to spread a message. Some in Pennsylvania will fly the Confederate flag without fully knowing what it rep­ resents, he said.

“We’re hoping to make

people think about racism,” Stilp said. He hopes these events go a long way to “take the racism out of Pennsylvania.”

He has burned flags in Perry, Adams, Luzerne, Union and Northumber­ land counties, and he hopes to do so at more courthouses, including Cumberland and Franklin counties. Stilp has a federal lawsuit pending against York County, where he said officials interfered with his right to burn the flag

Republicans seeing lion’s share of turnover in state Legislature Mark Scolforo Associated Press

Retirements and other departures are poised to hit Republicans in the Pennsylvania Legislature particularly hard this year, as most of those who have already announced they are leaving belong to the GOP. The party that has wielded broad power in the General Assembly in recent years, thanks to strong majorities in both chambers, looks to also have far more open seats to defend in 2018.

At least eight state House Republicans are running for Congress or state Senate, and the party is also losing several veteran committee chairs to retirement. In all, 15 of the 16 representatives who have said for certain they are not seeking re-election this year are Republicans.

In the state Senate, all four who are definitely leaving are Republicans.

Some may return to the House or Senate if they lose or drop out of races for other elective positions. But it’s entirely possible that more than 30 newcomers will take legislative seats early next year.

Republicans currently control the Senate 34-16, and the House 120-81 with two vacancies, one from each party.

Pending court challenges to the state’s congressional map could have a domino effect, as candidates who want to run for Congress might change their minds, depending on what map is in eventually in place for the May 15 primary.

OPENINGS AT THE TOP

The state House’s two highest ranking members, Speaker Mike Turzai, of Allegheny County, and Majority Leader Dave Reed, of Indiana County, both Republicans, are running for other offices. Turzai is a candidate for the Republican gubernatorial nomination, and he’s said that if he wins the primary he won’t also try to retain his House seat. Reed, seeking the nomination to succeed retiring U.S. Rep. Bill Shuster, has ruled out returning to the state House.

CHANGES IN SENATE

Among Turzai’s primary opponents in the governor’s race this year is York County Republican Sen. Scott Wagner, who is giving up his seat in the Senate. Sen. John Eichelberger, R-Blair County, is not seeking re-election as he pursues the nomination for Shuster’s congressional seat. Sen. Chuck McIlhinney, R-Bucks County, is not running for a fourth term. Sen. Daylin Leach, D-Montgomery County, has said he may run for Congress in the Philadelphia suburbs but has not decided — his Senate seat is not up until 2020. Sen. Stewart Greenleaf, R-Mont-

ELECTION ROUNDUP

County treasurer running for state House seat The Dauphin County treasurer is seeking the Republican nomination for the 105th District state House seat being vacated by the retiring Rep. Ron Marsico.

Janis Creason of Lower Paxton Township, who has served as county treasurer for more than 10 years, is a lifelong resident of Dauphin County.

During her tenure she said she has modernized the treasurer’s office and introduced technology to improve its efficiency, saving taxpayers “tens of thousands of dollars each year.”

She said she will not accept a state pension or per diem during her time in office.

The 105th District includes Lower Paxton, West and South Hanover townships.

Rep. Ron Marsico announced Jan. 18 he is retiring when his term expires Nov. 30.

Democrat Eric Epstein, a citizen activist elected to Central Dauphin School Board last fall, is also seeking Marsico’s seat.

gomery County, who chairs the Judiciary Committee, is retiring.

AMBITIOUS HOUSE MEMBERS

Rep. Judy Ward, R-Blair, wants Eichelberger’s spot in the Senate. Rep. Kristin Phillips-Hill, R-York County, is running to succeed Wagner. Both have said they don’t plan to run for House and Senate at the same time. Rep. Ryan Mackenzie, R-Lehigh County, has said he is not seeking re-election as he pursues the nomination for the congressional seat opening with the retirement of Republican U.S. Rep. Charlie Dent. Rep. Madeleine Dean, D-Montgomery County, is part of a crowded field running for the Democratic nomination for lieutenant governor.

Dean is simultaneously running to keep her House seat. Rep. Rick Saccone, R-Allegheny County, is running in the March 13 special election for a vacant congressional seat, held most recently by Republican Tim Murphy.

Saccone is not seeking another state House term. Rep. Steve Bloom, R-Cumberland County, wants the seat that Republican U.S. Rep. Lou Barletta is giving up as he runs for U.S. Senate. Rep. Jim Christiana, R-Beaver County, is battling with Barletta for the Senate nomination and is not simultaneously running for another state House term. Rep. Tina Davis, D-Bucks County, has announced

plans to run against Sen. Tommy Tomlinson, R-Bucks County, while seeking re-election to the House at the same time.

HOUSE RETIREES

This year’s retirements include 18-term state Rep. Bob Godshall, R-Montgomery County; Rep. Harry Lewis, R-Chester County; Rep. Eli Evankovich, R-Westmoreland County; Rep. John McGinnis, R-Blair County; Rep. Ron Marsico; R-Dauphin County, Rep. Will Tallman, R-York County; Rep. C. Adam Harris, R-Juniata County; and Rep. Kathy Watson, R-Bucks County.

Another notable retirement is 17-term Rep. John Taylor, one of only two remaining Republicans in the Philadelphia delegation and chairman of the Transportation Committee. Rep. Mark Mustio, R-Allegheny County, is seriously considering retiring and plans to announce a decision in the coming days.

ABSENTEEISM

A state representative under fire for missing many session days and votes told the Scranton Times-Tribune he is not seeking another term. Rep. Kevin Haggerty, a Democrat, explained his poor attendance record by saying he needed to be with his children as he and his wife were divorcing.

State Rep. Sue Helm told supporters Wednesday she is seeking re-election for a seventh term in the state House.

Helm represents the 104 District, which includes Harrisburg suburbs like Susquehanna Township, but then runs through parts of Upper Dauphin County and into a small portion of Lebanon County.

A career Realtor, Helm is best-known in the General Assembly for her concentration on issues that affect the communities in her district, from re-use of the Harrisburg State Hospital grounds to transportation projects, to the siting of a Capitol Police department shooting range.

The 74-year-old Helm thus far does not have any opposition for the Republican nomination. — Charles Thompson, cthompson@pennlive.com

Philly Congressman to retire after 20 years U.S. Rep. Bob Brady, holder of a safe-for-Democrats Congressional district anchored in South Philadelphia, said Wednesday that he will not be seeking an 11th term in Congress this year.

Brady, 72, first elected in 1998, had already drawn serious primary opposition.

The decision was not related, he said, to a federal investigation into a 2012 payment Brady’s campaign committee had allegedly made to a potential Democratic challenger in that year’s primary.

That challenger subsequently dropped out of the race.

Two of Brady’s closest political aides were charged. — Charles Thompson, cthompson@pennlive.com

STATE SENATE

Bill strengthens public pension forfeitures Legislation redeďŹ nes the criminal acts that can result in ending taxpayer-funded retirement pay Jan Murphy jmurphy@pennlive.com

The state Senate on Tuesday passed legislation to strengthen the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pension forfeiture law to strip taxpayer-funded pensions from public employees and oďŹ&#x192;cials who commit job-related felonies.

By a 50-0 vote, the Senate approved the bill, sponsored by Sen. John DiSanto, R-Dauphin County, that

clo s e s a lo ophole t h at allowed convicted former state Sen. Robert Mellow to have his $245,000 a year pension restored despite pleading guilty and serving prison time on federal conspiracy charges â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which currently is regarded as a non-pension forfeiture crime. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This was the most egregious example â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but not the only one â&#x20AC;&#x201D; of unscrupulous public oďŹ&#x192;cials betraying cit-

HARASSMENT TRAINING

Leach says he was â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;frankly obliviousâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to how his jokes, behavior aďŹ&#x20AC;ected others As of Tuesday, all 16 members of the Pennsylvania Senate Democratic caucus have sat through mandatory training on the topic of sexual harassment.

Sen. Daylin Leach, D-Montgomery County, received his training on Tuesday.

He said the session covered legal issues related to the topic as well as was presented some hypothetical situations to spur discussion.

Because of a scheduling conďŹ&#x201A;ict, Leach was absent when the other 15 Democratic senators received their mandatory training last week despite his being the only current member of the caucus to be openly accused of misconduct.

His spokesman said Leach, in his role as minority chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, had previously committed to serving on a panel at a Pennsylvania Bar Association midyear meeting in Key West, Florida.

Senate Democratic Leader Jay Costa of Allegheny County said Leach received the same training from McNees Wallace & Nurickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Adam Santucci, the caucusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; outside counsel, that the other Democratic senators received.

Some of Leachâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s former campaign and legislative female staďŹ&#x20AC;ers told the Philadelphia Inquirer that his sexually suggestive jokes and, in at least two cases, unwanted touches made them uncomfortable.

Leach apologized earlier this month in an op-ed that appeared in the Philadelphia Inquirer for making anyone uncomfortable or distressed.

He said on Tuesday as a result of the accusations made against him, he is more aware of how what he says or does may aďŹ&#x20AC;ect others. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I always had an image in my mind of what conduct that made people uncomfortable looked like,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was sort of frankly oblivious to certain things.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Jan Murphy, jmurphy@pennlive.com

izens with their actions and being handsomely rewarded for it â&#x20AC;&#x201D; with those same citizens being forced to pick up the tab,â&#x20AC;? DiSanto said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beyond adding insult to injury. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s outright contempt for the people. This needs to end now.â&#x20AC;?

The bill now goes to the state House of Representatives for consideration.

Currently, the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Public Employee Pension Forfeiture Act requires a public employee to forfeit his or her pension only for certain crimes listed in the act. So if a public employee charged with one of those crimes pleads guilty to a crime not listed they can avoid forfeit-

ing their pension.

DiSantoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bill, Senate Bill 611 requires pension forfeiture if a public employee or public official is convicted, pleads guilty, or pleads no contest to any job-related felony oďŹ&#x20AC;ense.

In addition, the legislation requires that courts notify the state pension boards of public officialsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; criminal convictions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The skyrocketing costs of public pensions in Pennsylvania have turned the state budget into a mess and have driven up school property taxes, while taxpayers are continuing to fund the pensions of public employees who commit felonies on

the job,â&#x20AC;? DiSanto said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is well past time to require all egregious oďŹ&#x20AC;enders to face a ďŹ nancial penalty for violating the public trust. We need to get this done for the taxpayers of Pennsylvania.â&#x20AC;?

Sen. Scott Wagner, R-York County, who co-sponsored the bill, said after seeing Mellow have his pension restored, he believes this change in law is necessary.

Nevertheless, he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is really sad we would need such a law, but this proposal would add protections for taxpayers and put those on notice who abuse the public trust that it will not be rewarded with pension beneďŹ ts.â&#x20AC;?

Proposal gives crime victims more rights Barbara Miller bmiller@pennlive.com

A f t e r A n g e l a P a rker-Quarlesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; goddaughter was stabbed and shot to death in a home on Sycamore Street in Harrisburg in December 2011, family members sometimes felt they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a voice as her killer was brought to justice.

T h a t wou ld ch a n ge if Pennsylvania passes Marsyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Law, which would ensure victims get equal protection under the constitution.

Without help from the Dauphin County prosecutor and victim-witness oďŹ&#x192;ce, Parker-Quarles said they wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have made

it through the trial of Donnell Price, who received a life sentence for stabbing Tarina Fields-Price, 34, 27 times and then shooting her.

But despite help they received, â&#x20AC;&#x153;There were many times that we wanted things to be different, that we wanted to have a voice, to be heard, and we just couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, because it would be in violation of the perpetratorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rights.â&#x20AC;?

During a news conference Tuesday at the state Capitol, Jennifer Storm, Pennsylvania victim advocate, along with sponsors of state legislation to pass Marsyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Law, explained why it is needed.

While those accused have numerous constitutional rights, victims only have

statutory rights, which are not enumerated in the state constitution, Storm said.

That is an imbalance that leaves victims with no recourse when their rights are violated, she said, adding constitutional rights will collapse statutory rights under challenge. Marsyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Law would give victims the ability to file motions to challenge instances in which they believe their rights are being violated.

The new law would ensure victims have the right to: â&#x20AC;ş Re c e ive i n fo r m a t ion about their rights. â&#x20AC;ş Receive notification of criminal proceedings. â&#x20AC;ş Be present at court proceedings. â&#x20AC;ş Be heard at plea and sen-

tencing proceedings.

Assert additional statutory rights. â&#x20AC;ş Be treated with fairness, respect and dignity.

State Sen. Guy Reschenthaler, R-McKees Rocks, and Rep. Sheryl Delozier, R-Lower Allen Township, have introduced Marsyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Law legislation (SB 1011 and HB 1993 ) to amend the state constitution to provide equal protection for crime victims.

Reschenthaler said the new law would apply in both juvenile and adult court, to â&#x20AC;&#x153;ensure victimsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; rights are protected no less vigorously than the rights of the accused.â&#x20AC;? He said Pennsylvania is one of 15 states whose constitution doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t address victimsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; rights.

Closings part of Bon-Tonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two-year turnaround plan Daniel Urie durie@pennlive.com

Wednesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s announcement of the 42 store locations that Bon-Ton will close, including its store in Carlisle, comes just days after the retailer which is based in Springettsbury Township, York County, and Milwaukee, Wisconsin, announced a turnaround plan in a Securities and Exchange Commission ďŹ ling.

Some of the turnaround initiatives for the two-year plan for 2018 and 2019 include: â&#x20AC;ş A more stringent review of the existing store portfolio â&#x20AC;ş Key retailing strategies in merchandising, planning and allocation including growing its e-commerce platform â&#x20AC;ş Changes to its marketing strategy â&#x20AC;ş Capital investment strategies within the stores and back-oďŹ&#x192;ce operations Bon-Ton said in the ďŹ ling about 100 of its worst performing stores were selected for a detailed analysis. In addition to the stores closures, there are more than 20 stores that are on the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s watch list that are being actively monitored for signs of further deterioration, the company said.

The Bon-Ton Stores Inc. operates 260 stores, which includes nine furniture galleries and four clearance centers, in 24 states under the Bon-Ton, Bergnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, Boston Store, Carsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, Elder-Beerman, Herbergerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Younkers nameplates. The 42 closings include stores under all of the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nameplates. Bon-Ton previously announced the closings of five additional locations as well.

Carrera has two prior convictions for robbery. The sentence Curcillo imposed was mandatory, Falbo said.

After being sentenced for the carjacking, Carrera pleaded guilty to charges stemming from the police pursuit and also cases where he shoplifted nearly $1,000 worth of laundry detergent, steak and chicken from local Giant supermarkets.

Curcillo ordered his prison sentences for those crimes to run concurrently to his jail term in the carjacking case.

Sen. Pat Toomey spoke on the Senate ďŹ&#x201A;oor Tuesday to honor deputy U.S. Marshal Christopher Hill, who was killed while serving an arrest warrant in Harrisburg earlier this month.

Hill, 45, left behind a wife and two children.

Hill died Jan. 18 after a gunman opened ďŹ re on him and another oďŹ&#x192;cer inside a home in the 1800 block of Mulberry Street. Two other oďŹ&#x192;cers were wounded.

The gunman was killed in an ensuing exchange of gunďŹ re. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Travis Kellar, tkellar@pennlive.com

DRIVERS FROM A3

In Lancaster, auditors found 21 of the 132 drivers employed by Shultz Transpor tation Co. of Willow Street to transport district students between 2012 and 2016 failed to meet at least one of those employment requirements. In addition to the criminal convictions, 11 drivers had no proof of having a valid driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s license, proof of completion of school bus driver skills and training and/or evidence of passing a physical. Five others were missing criminal history clearances.

DePasquale said a check on ďŹ ve other school districts that contracted with Shultz from 2015 to 2017 had no driver qualification issues arise.

As soon as auditors raised this issue with Lancaster officials, who then alerted the bus contractor, he said the ineligible drivers were immediately removed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They knew there was no pushback on this. They knew we were right,â&#x20AC;? DePasquale said. He was unsure if there were any penalties attached to these violation of state laws.

An attempt to reach Lancaster school district officials and Shultz Transportation was unsuccessful.

A spokeswoman from the state Department of Education said they were review-

ing the auditor generalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s findings and had no comment at this time.

DePasquale said five of Lancasterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 21 drivers with qualification issues were ineligible for employment as school bus drivers at the time of their hiring because of criminal convictions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To say this is insane would be an understatement, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure the parent s, when t hey hea rd about this, are going to be livid that that was taking place,â&#x20AC;? DePasquale said. â&#x20AC;&#x153; This should be a message to all school districts all over Pennsylvania. It is your responsibility, not the responsibility of the contractor, to make sure the people driving these buses are legally allowed to do it.â&#x20AC;?

He encourages parents to ask about the qualiďŹ cations of bus drivers in their district and said districts should be willing to share the checklist to show their drivers have met all the requirements to transport students.

A review of the 58 districts where auditors found bus driver qualification deficiencies over the fiveyear period, 22 of them corrected the deďŹ ciencies, if not immediately, by the time a subsequent audit took place.

Six school districts failed to take corrective action by a subsequent audit and as for the remainder, a subsequent audit has not yet been conducted to verify whether corrective action was taken.

Manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s drug-sniďŹ&#x192;ng dog helps addicts make good choices

Court OK sought to consolidate Steelton voting districts

Daniel Walmer Lebanon Daily News

As Hope Rescue Mission in Reading was gearing up to provide winter shelter for the homeless, it knew it had to address drug sharing that sometimes goes on within its walls.

The rescue mission could have called police, but its leadership didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to create a pipeline from the shelter to prison.

Enter Fred Nell who runs a business, featuring his dog Sadie. Nell said he believes his business is the only one of its kind in Pennsylvania.

By randomly drug testing shelter residents, Sadie has sent a message that drugs wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be tolerated â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and the amount of drugs at the Code Blue winter shelter has drastically decreased, pastor and program director Steve Olivo said.

Sadie used to alert regularly during drug sweeps the shelter, but now rarely has occasion to do so.

By increasing the likelihood that drug users will be caught, it also helps people struggling with addiction make better decisions, Nell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the beginning, I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like you. I just thought you were bad news, you were out to get me,â&#x20AC;? one 18-year-old at the shelter told Nell. But now, â&#x20AC;&#x153;every time I talk to you, I know youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re here to help me get through my recovery.â&#x20AC;?

Drug Search Team and Next Day Outreach isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Nellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first innovative business involving his pets â&#x20AC;&#x201D; heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also known as Mr. Scoop for his dog waste-removal company â&#x20AC;&#x153;inspiredâ&#x20AC;? by his former dog, Teddy.

After Teddy died, he adopted Sadie, a rescue Labrador/German Shepherd mix that he soon discovered has a special talent. Sadie alerts to illegal narcotics, fueling a business that performs drug searches at organizations like the rescue mission, drug rehabilitation centers and even private homes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really not anything out of the ordinary to get a call from someone youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d least expect,â&#x20AC;? he said.

While police and some large security ďŹ rms employ drug-sniďŹ&#x192;ng dogs, Nell said he isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t aware of any other small private business like his in Pennsylvania. He does 25-30 searches per month, and business is booming so much that Nell is considering training a second dog to keep pace with demand.

Sadie alerts to drugs, at which point Nellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s client â&#x20AC;&#x201D; not Nell himself â&#x20AC;&#x201D; conducts a search of the person or bag about which Sadie alerted. The people being tested have typically signed paperwork saying they consent to a search.

Saying it will save money and improve eďŹ&#x192;ciency, the Dauphin County Board of Elections is asking the county court to approve the consolidation of four voting districts in Steelton.

The proposal is to consolidate election districts 1 and 2 into a single district in the boroughâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2nd Ward. Also, districts 1 and 2 in the 3rd Ward would be united.

In a petition to the court, the election board contends that 2nd Ward consolidations would provide voters in that district with a handicap-accessible polling place and increase the pool of poll workers. It would also save money by not having to staďŹ&#x20AC; two separate polls, the board stated.

The consolidated district in the 2nd Ward would have 1,458 registered voters, more than what the state considers to be ideal.

However, the board contends that number is manageable since only 940 voters in the proposed district cast ballots during the November 2016 presidential election.

The 3rd Ward consolidation would create a district with 1,038 registered voters, the board said. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Matt Miller, mmiller@ pennlive.com

As a result, the Hope Rescue Mission has been able to develop a drug-free environment to help struggling community members get back on their feet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It worked tremendously. You never beat it completely, but we have it under control right now,â&#x20AC;? Olivo said.

CERTIFIED TO SNIFF

Perhaps surprisingly, private drug-sniďŹ&#x20AC;ing dogs are a largely unregulated profession in Pennsylvania.

There is no training or certification for private vendors with drug-sniffing dogs, according to state police spokesman Ryan Sarkowski. A Pennsylvania Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs spokeswoman was not aware of any regulations.

Even nationally, the industry standards are â&#x20AC;&#x153;loosy-goosey,â&#x20AC;? said Terry Ulrich of the National Narcotic Detector Dog Association, which provides what he considers one of the best certiďŹ cations.

Still, Tom Gross, executive director of the Pennsylvania Chiefs of Police Association, said you would probably want to ensure a dog and dog-handler have some certiďŹ cation

and have met some standard. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In my own experience, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen drug-detection dogs that were terrible,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Nell said he never had a narcotics job before and does not have a law enforcement background. However, Sadie and Nell were certified in Missouri by Gary LaFollette, who owns the LaFollette K-9 Training Center, he said. In order to be certiďŹ ed, a dog must successfully ďŹ nd cocaine and another narcotic such as heroin within a time limit and avoid any false positives, according to LaFolletteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website.

Nell also has commercial liability and health insurance policies for Sadie, he said.

For the most part, organizations who avail themselves of Nellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s services will pay for it. Businesses have to pay a minimum of $150 for a drug search from Sadie and Nell, more if they have a lengthy commute. But heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s willing to negotiate costs with people who find their family members wrapped up in the opioid epidemic and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know where to turn. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not trying to get you in trouble, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to get you to the next day of recovery,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Dauphin County detectives are investigating a suspicious package that was left near the county courthouse and administration buildings Tuesday, said Amy Richards Harinath, a spokeswoman for the county.

The suspicious package was found in the early afternoon between the county administration building at 2 S. Second St. and the county courthouse at 101 S. Market St. The scene was cleared just after 2 p.m. and oďŹ&#x192;cials said there was no threat to the public. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Wesley Robinson, wrobinson@ pennlive.com

Man struck by car while crossing road A man was taken to the hospital after being struck by a car in Lebanon County.

Michael M. Ingram, 65, was crossing Quentin Road near Isabel Drive, heading toward McDonaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, when he was struck around 5:45 p.m. Monday, North Cornwall Township police said.

Lucille Rose Garrard, 20, of Lebanon, was southbound when she told police she suddenly saw a man standing in her lane of travel.

She veered to the right in an eďŹ&#x20AC;ort to avoid him, but he kept walking and she was unable to avoid hitting him, police said, adding that the man was wearing dark-colored clothing.

Ingram was taken to Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center for leg, abdomen and head injuries. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Barbara Miller, bmiller@pennlive.com

A Northampton County restaurant owner is $18,841 richer after winning cash, a new car and electronics on â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Price is Right.â&#x20AC;?

Janice Repnyek, co-owner of Mikeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kids Doggie Shop in Hellertown, appeared in January on the CBS Network game show hosted by Drew Carey. An estimated 50 to 60 people, including friends, fa m i ly memb er s, reg ulars and newcomer patrons packed the Main Street eatery for the airing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This morning was just as exciting as the show itself,â&#x20AC;?

Repnyek said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was so packed people were standing outside. It was just cool.â&#x20AC;?

The showâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s concept dates to the 1950s before being revamped in the early 1970s and then hosted by Bob Barker. Contestants compete to win cash and prizes

by guessing the retail prices of merchandise.

Repnyek was the third contestant called to â&#x20AC;&#x153;Come on down!â&#x20AC;? during an October taping. She was visiting her adult son Zachary Sem, who lives about an hour from Los Angeles, and brought along Sem and her husband, Sam Repnyek.

In the first game, Janice Repnyek was asked to guess the price of two iPads. Having iPads herself, Repnyek said she was optimistic on her guess of $1,498. The other three contestants in the round guessed: $1,200, $1,250 and $1,251, she said.

The price of the iPads was $1,648, which advanced Janice to a second game. In that game, doors opened up to show oďŹ&#x20AC; a black 2017 Chevy Sonic, valued at $16,758. Janice Repnyek ended up guessing the price of the vehicle to win it.

She then advanced to spin the wheel, but fell short

of a chance for a spot in the â&#x20AC;&#x153; Showc a s e Showdow nâ&#x20AC;? when she spun, landing on 35 cents and 10 cents when another contestant spun to hit 90 cents. The wheel allows each contestant to get as close to $1 as they can without going over. The winner advances to the â&#x20AC;&#x153;showdown.â&#x20AC;?

Janice said goodbye to Carey. She walked away with the Chevy, iPads and $35 in cash. She said of the total $18,841 worth of prizes, she will owe $1,255 in taxes before she can receive the winning items. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Looking back, ever ything is like a blur,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It goes by so fast, almost like I was in another dimension. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like I was in two different bodies.â&#x20AC;?

After ward, Janice described aching hands from clapping and a dry mouth from hours of screaming, saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t explain the excitement. I

think you just have to be there. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just so much enthusiasm.â&#x20AC;?

Janice ďŹ rst began watching the show as a child with her grandmother. In order to stand out from the crowd, she had T-shirts printed at Palmer Park Mall, saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We ďŹ&#x201A;ew 2,454 miles to play a game with Drew.â&#x20AC;? On the back, she made sure to include â&#x20AC;&#x153;Happy 10th anniversary,â&#x20AC;? knowing it was Careyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 10th anniversary as host.

Asked if sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll ever return to the show in hopes of advancing to the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Showcase Showdown,â&#x20AC;? Janice said she has to wait a decade, under the showâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s guidelines. But added, still, she wants to give someone else the experience sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll never forget as long as she lives. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I won once, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to win again,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Let someone else have a chance.

Man pleads guilty to counterfeit bills A Philadelphia man has admitted making fake $100 bills.

Jean-Pier Jean Baptiste, 24, made the admission this week when he pleaded guilty in U.S. Middle District Court to a counterfeit charge.

Baptiste was arrested last Feb. 1 when Montoursville, Lycoming County, police just before midnight stopped a car in which he was a backseat passenger because the tail lights were white instead of red.

An oďŹ&#x192;cer became suspicious when he smelled marijuana and the front seat passenger three times leaned over out of sight, Assistant U.S. Attorney Todd K. Hinkley said.

An envelope containing about $5,900 worth of counterfeit $100 bills, all with the same serial number, and $180 in real currency was found under the front passenger seat, he said.

Baptiste is facing a maximum of 20 years in prison on the federal charge. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; John Beauge, For PennLive

NORTHAMPTON COUNTY

Man sentenced for child porn conviction A Northumberland County man has been sentenced to 15 to 30 years in state prison for possession of child pornography.

Michael Paul Waraksa III, 31, of Trevorton, who had pleaded guilty in July, was sentenced this week by county Judge Paige Rosini. He must register as a sex oďŹ&#x20AC;ender the rest of his life.

This was the second time Waraksa has been convicted of child pornography, the ďŹ rst being in Lancaster County in 2010.

He pleaded guilty there also and was sentenced to 2½ to 10 years in prison.

He was living in East Lampeter Township at the time.

In the Northumberland County case, Waraksa admitted using his fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home near Shamokin to download child pornography to avoid detection because he knew it is illegal.

Waraksa told investigators he used a tower he hid in an old television set to download child pornography, especially of young girls, and then masturbate while viewing it, the arrest aďŹ&#x192;davit states.

He was charged with 51 counts of sexual abuse of children (child pornography) and one of criminal use of communication facility but negotiated a plea agreement with the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attorney generalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oďŹ&#x192;ce. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; John Beauge, For PennLive

PHILADELPHIA

3 women plead guilty in deadly beating Three women have pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter in the deadly beating of a homeless man outside a Philadelphia gas station.

Philly.com reports 37-year-old Aleathea Gillard, 27-year-old Kaisha Duggins and 26-year-old Shareena Joachim entered their pleas this week.

Three juveniles also accused in the attack have already pleaded guilty to charges including third-degree murder.

Prosecutors say Gillard rounded up a group to attack 51-year-old Robert Barnes in April 2015 after her 10-year-old son told her that Barnes had hit him and used a racial slur.

Assistant District Attorney Erica Rebstock says surveillance video shows no contact between Barnes and the boy.

Barnes was punched, kicked and hit with a hammer and a piece of wood. He fell into a coma and died seven months later.

Sentencing is scheduled for April 20. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Associated Press

First-generation students ďŹ nd selves changed Alfred Lubrano Philadelphia Inquirer

For Carmen Duran, the grits and livermush of home beckoned.

During her first semester at the University of Pennsylvania, Duran, an 18-year-old freshman, tried scrapple, but it lacked the zest of the pigâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s liver with hogâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s head meat she was used to eating in her native Maiden, North Carolina.

Over winter break, Duran returned to Maiden and tasted home. The livermush was great, but something had changed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I see my hometown and the people there a lot diďŹ&#x20AC;erently,â&#x20AC;? said Duran, who graduated high school with a 5.09 grade-point average and became one of 300 ďŹ rst-generation college students in her class of 2,457. A ďŹ rst-generation student is someone whose parents havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t earned a four-year degree. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m so much diďŹ&#x20AC;erent.â&#x20AC;? But things for everyone in Maiden seem pretty much the same. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m working to bridge the duality inside me.â&#x20AC;?

Winter break, which for Penn began Dec. 21 and ended Jan. 9, can be a confusing time for ďŹ rst-generation students and their parents.

Raised in working-class or even impoverished homes, students were suddenly and dramatically broadened during nearly ďŹ ve months of living in a privileged enclave with middle- and upper-class classmates. Their parents, meanwhile, had been left behind to continue living their lives, with not the remotest idea of what college life on an upper tier campus is like, or how to talk to their children about it.

Related by blood, parents and children are beginning to be separated by class.

Called â&#x20AC;&#x153;crossoversâ&#x20AC;? by Minnesota psychologist Barbara Jensen, first-generation students are moving from the working-class to the middle-class. In theory, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how America is supposed to operate: shuttling people from humble circumstance toward a better life, via education at an elite dream factory.

But being class mobile can have an emotional cost. And freshman winter break is when the drama ďŹ rst plays out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the beginning of a sense of two identities,â&#x20AC;? said Missy Foy, the director of a program that works with low-income and ďŹ rst-generation students at Georgetown University. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the home-me and the school-me coming together. Those worlds collide over winter break, after a semester of being at an elite school. You go home and see your precollege world through a diďŹ&#x20AC;erent lens. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The ďŹ rst winter break is a slap across the face.â&#x20AC;?

SLURS IN THE â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;MIDDLE OF NOWHEREâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

At Penn, Duranâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been studying and thinking about immigration, gay rights, and gentriďŹ cation. In Maiden, a rural hamlet boasting two stoplights and 3,000 people: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nobody in the middle of nowhere, thinks about those things,â&#x20AC;? Duran said.

College has made Duran, who is half-Mexican, more aware of words, and, she said, many in Maiden use the wrong ones â&#x20AC;&#x201D; particularly the n-word.

Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d been upset when she heard it before she moved to Philadelphia but never spoke up. After a semester of developing her self-conďŹ dence and social conscience, however, she could no longer remain silent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a place to use those words,â&#x20AC;? she told people. They didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem oďŹ&#x20AC;ended. Then again, â&#x20AC;&#x153;they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to

care, either,â&#x20AC;? Duran said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People will continue to say it, regardless.â&#x20AC;?

Despite the slurs, for Duran, Maiden felt comfortable in many ways. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At home, there are no class differences like at Penn,â&#x20AC;? populated by kids whose parents have college diplomas, who have a greater sense of belonging there, and who possess the means to enjoy an enriched college experience. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel like an outlier at home as much as I do at Penn. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing I can control.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;YOU CAN LEARN THISâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

Going back to Chalfont, Bucks County, for winter break, Anthony Scarpone-Lambert, 18, came to a realization. His parents gave him everything they could, but because he couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ask them questions about chemistry or math, he had to put in extra work at a place like Penn, where so many students had attended advanced high schools and have educated parents.

For Daisy Angeles, 18, a first-generation freshman from Yakima, Wash., and the oldest of seven children of immigrant parents from Oaxaca, Mexico, winter homecoming included a blunt assessment from friends: â&#x20AC;&#x153;You seem like a diďŹ&#x20AC;erent person.â&#x20AC;?

Their talk about life at state college seemed foreign to Angeles, informed by Pennâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unrelenting rigor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of things they said about college â&#x20AC;&#x201D; how itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to continue to be a straight-A student like in high school, or how itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not hard to have a job and go to school â&#x20AC;&#x201D; thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not what I experienced at Penn,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Angeles also found herself looking at the fields where immigrants like her family work, remembering how, not that long ago, she felt that her background among farmhands couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t prepare her for an Ivy League school. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I felt like an impostor,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At ďŹ rst, ďŹ rst-generation kids donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe they belong at Penn.â&#x20AC;?

But Angeles said she worked hard and now there simply arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that many days when she questions her legitimacy as a Penn student. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have less impostor syndrome,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And I feel like I belong.â&#x20AC;?

STATE OF THE UNION ANALYSIS

WASHINGTON

A look at veracity of Trump’s claims

Another stopgap funding bill likely

Christoper Rugaber and Calvin Woodward Associated Press

Immigration stalemate

Boastful even within the traditional confines of a State of the Union speech, President Donald Trump inflated the impact of his tax cuts Tuesday night, declared an end to a “war” on energy that did not exist when he took office and displayed a faulty grasp of immigration policy.

A look at some of the statements in his speech and how they compare with the facts:

sets back chances for deal Erik Wasson and Jennifer Epstein Bloomberg

TRUMP:

“We enacted the biggest tax cuts and reform in American history.”

THE FACTS:

No truer now than in the countless other times he has said the same. The December tax overhaul ranks behind Ronald Reagan’s in the early 1980s, post-World War II tax cuts and at least several more. An analysis by the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget in the fall put Trump’s package as the eighth biggest since 1918. As a percentage of the total economy, Reagan’s 1981 cut is the biggest followed by the 1945 rollback of taxes that financed World War II. Valued at $1.5 trillion over 10 years, the plan is indeed large and expensive. But it’s much smaller than originally intended.

TRUMP:

“After years and years of wage stagnation, we are finally seeing rising wages.”

TRUMP:

“We have ended the war on American energy.”

THE FACTS:

Actually, they are not rising any faster than they have before. Average hourly pay rose 2.5 percent in 2017, slightly slower than the 2.9 percent increase recorded in 2016 under President Barack Obama.

Most economists say that wages should increase at a faster rate as the unemployment rate drops. The unemployment rate stands at a 17-year low of 4.1 percent, but that has done little so far to spark rising wages.

THE FACTS:

“The third pillar (of my immigration plan) ends the visa lottery — a program that randomly hands out green cards without any regard to skill, merit or the safety of our people.”

Energy production was unleashed in past administrations, particularly Barack Obama’s, making accusations of a war on energy hard to sustain. Advances in hydraulic fracturing before Trump became president made it economical to tap vast reserves of natural gas. Oil production also greatly increased, reducing imports.

Before the 2016 presidential election, the U.S. for the first time in decades was getting more energy domestically than it imports.

Before Obama, George W. Bush was no adversary of the energy industry. One of Trump’s consequential actions as president on this front was to approve the Keystone XL pipeline — a source of foreign oil, from Canada.

THE FACTS:

TRUMP:

That’s a highly misleading characterization. The program is not nearly that random and it does address skills, merit and safety.

The diversity visa program awards up to 50,000 green cards a year to people from underrepresented countries, largely in Africa. It requires applicants to have completed a high school education or have at least two years of experience in the last five years in a selection of fields identified by the Labor Department. Winners must submit to extensive background checks, just like any other immigrant.

“We are now very proudly an exporter of energy to the world.”

TRUMP:

“We enacted the biggest tax cuts and reform in American history.”

nerable communities.”

THE FACTS:

The borders were far from open before his presidency, however imperfectly they may have been guarded.

The government under Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama roughly doubled the ranks of the Border Patrol, and Bush extended fencing to cover nearly onethird of the border during his final years in office. The Obama administration deported more than 2 million immigrants during the eight years he was in office, more than in previous administrations.

THE FACTS:

There’s nothing new in that: The U.S. has long exported all sorts of energy, while importing even more. If Trump meant that the U.S. has become a net exporter of energy, he’s rushing things along.

TRUMP:

“We repealed the core of the disastrous Obamacare — the individual mandate is now gone.”

THE FACTS:

TRUMP:

“For decades, open borders have allowed drugs and gangs to pour into our most vul-

President Donald Trump’s dark portrayal of immigrants in his State of the Union address set back chances for getting a combined deal on the budget and immigration any time soon, making it likely that lawmakers will have to pass another stopgap spending bill next week to keep the government operating past Feb. 8.

After being stung by the political backlash over a three-day government shutdown a little more than a week ago, a senior House Democratic aide said there are no plans within the party to force a resolution on immigration by holding up government funding and forcing another closing.

Democrats may use an agreement on a broader budget plan for the rest of this fiscal year as a bargaining chip, including raising statutory limits on defense and domestic spending.

Republicans and Democrats said Tuesday that a spending-caps deal in itself is very close to being agreed to. The deal would likely raise military spending by about $80 billion for two years and increase domestic spending in part by using budget gimmicks.

Democrats would be able to claim the increases are equal to military spending while Republicans would be able to claim that minus the gimmicks, the military got the better end of the bargain. There remain differences over how some of the money will be allocated and over offsetting spending cuts.

While some House and Senate conservatives raise objections to the increased spending and offer alternative plans, the White House appears to be on board.

Trump didn’t mention the expanding federal deficit in his State of the Union speech.

The main snag is that House Democrats in particular aren’t willing to allow that deal to go forward without providing protection from deportation for undocumented immigrants brought to the U.S. as children. They had been protected under President Barack Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, or DACA, which Trump has said would end without congressional action and a broader deal that includes border security money and deep cuts to legal immigration.

In a speech peppered with pleas for bipartisanship, Trump angered Democrats by saying undocumented immigrants and those who enter the country through a visa lottery system and family sponsorships, which he called “deadly loopholes,” include criminals and terrorists.

WASHINGTON

FBI has ‘grave concerns’ on Russia memo attempts to distract from the committee’s own investigation into Russian meddling in the election that sent Trump to the White House.

White House Chief of Staff John Kelly said Wednesday on Fox News Radio that he expected the memo to be released “pretty quick.”

Wednesday afternoon, Rep. Devin Nunes, the House intelligence chairman and a close ally of the president, fired back at the law enforcement agencies, calling the FBI and Justice Department objections “spurious.”

“It’s clear that top officials used unverified information in a court document to fuel a counter-intelligence investigation during an American political campaign,” Nunes said. “Once the truth gets out, we can begin taking steps to ensure our intelligence agencies and courts are never misused like this again.”

In a remarkably public clash of wills with the White House, the FBI declared Wednesday it has “grave concerns” about the accuracy of a classified memo on the Russia election investigation that President Donald Trump wants released.

The FBI’s short and sharp statement, its first on the issue, laid bare a Trump administration conflict that had previously played out mostly behind closed doors in meetings between top Justice Department and White House officials.

“As expressed during our initial review, we have grave concerns about material omissions of fact that fundamentally impact the memo’s accuracy,” the FBI said.

The agency’s stance on the memo, conveyed in a two-paragraph statement, escalates the dispute and means that Trump

would be openly defying his hand-picked FBI director by continuing to push for the memo’s disclosure. It also suggests a clear willingness by FBI Director Christopher Wray, who in the early stretch of his tenure has been notably low-key, to challenge a president who just months ago fired his predecessor, James Comey.

The FBI statement came the day after Trump was overheard telling a congressman that he “100 percent” supported release of the four-page memo, which was drafted by Republicans on the House intelligence committee. The Republicans have said the memo reveals surveillance abuses by the FBI and the Justice Department in the early stages of the investigation into potential ties between Russia and the 2016 Trump presidential campaign.

Democrats have called the memo a “cherry-picked” list of GOP talking points that

A train carrying dozens of Republican members of Congress to a strategy retreat in the countryside slammed into a garbage truck in rural Virginia on Wednesday, killing one person in the vehicle and sending several lawmaker-doctors rushing to help the injured.

No serious injuries were reported aboard the chartered Amtrak train, which set out from the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capital with lawmakers, family members and staff for the luxury Greenbrier resort in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia. At least two other people in the truck were reported seriously hurt.

The collision happened around 11:20 a.m. in Crozet, about 125 miles southwest of Washington, tearing the truck in two, crumpling the nose of the locomotive and scattering trash alongside the tracks.

Rep. Scott Perry, R-York County, said he felt â&#x20AC;&#x153;one heck of a joltâ&#x20AC;? when the train collided with the truck.

P e r r y, w h o w a s n o t injured, said he was talking with colleague Rep. Keith Rothfus, R-Beaver County, when the accident happened. â&#x20AC;&#x153;From my standpoint, I knew it was not ordinary.

I saw a flash go by on the left side of the train, which the truck, parts of it, and the train starts moving to a halt,â&#x20AC;? Perry said.

He m a de s u re t ho s e around him were OK, and repor t s ca me in pret t y quickly that they had struck a truck.

Rothf us a lso was not injured, said his staďŹ&#x20AC;.

The only other Pennsylvania congressman on the train was Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick, R-Bucks County, who was also not injured, said his staďŹ&#x20AC;.

A u t h o r i t i e s g av e n o details on the cause of the

wreck, which took place at a crossing protected by gates, flashing lights, bells and warning signs. The National Transportation Safety Board sent a team to investigate.

Benny Layne, on whose property the truck landed, said the crossing arms had been known to malfunction often, sometimes not working when a train was approaching, sometimes coming down for no reason.

Sometimes, he said, they stayed down for hours.

Carrie Brown, human resources manager at Buckingham Branch Railroad, which leases the stretch of track and is responsible for maintenance, said she was unaware of any problems with equipment at the crossing.

Florida Rep. Neal Dunn, a former Army surgeon, said he and other lawmakers who are doctors joined other passengers who are nurses or paramedics and jumped out with the basic medical gear

they had. They broke into three teams to help the injured people in the truck, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The ďŹ rst gentleman was somebody who had really, rea lly, rea lly devastating injuries. We did try to resuscitate, but ultimately you had to realize it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t possible,â&#x20AC;? Dunn said. He said another man in the truck was critically injured and a third was seriously hurt.

Officials gave varying ďŹ gures on the number hurt.

But Amtrak said two crew members and three passengers were taken to a hospital with minor injuries.

The GOP policy retreat, a n a n nua l event, wa s scheduled to last for three days.

By early afternoon, lawma kers were boa rding buses to resume their trip.

PennLive reporter Barbara Miller contributed to this report.

Hillary Clinton addressed a report last week suggesting she shielded a former campaign staďŹ&#x20AC;er responsible for faith outreach who was accused of sexually harassing a woman on her campaign. In a lengthy Facebook post, Clinton wrote, â&#x20AC;&#x153;If I had it to do again, I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t.â&#x20AC;?

Clintonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s former faith outreach adviser has been accused of repeatedly sexually harassing a woman in Clintonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2008 campaign for president, according to a report last week from the New York Times. Clinton reportedly decided not to ďŹ re Burns Strider, who led her religious outreach eďŹ&#x20AC;orts, against the advice of her campaign manager.

On Tuesday, Clinton wrote that she believed at the time that ďŹ ring was not the best solution. She said she believed his punishment, including a demotion, a dock in pay and mandatory counseling, â&#x20AC;&#x153;the message to him unambiguous.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I also believe in second chances. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been given second chances and I have given them to others. I want to continue to believe in them. But sometimes theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re squandered.â&#x20AC;?

She said she has been asking herself questions about whether things would have been different had she fired Strider.

She wrote that a â&#x20AC;&#x153;seismic shiftâ&#x20AC;? has taken place, due to the women who have spoken out about their experiences, including the woman who made the allegations on her campaign. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For most of my life, harassment wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t something talked about or even acknowledged,â&#x20AC;? Clinton wrote. â&#x20AC;&#x153;More women than not experience it to some degree in their life, and until recently, the response was often to laugh it oďŹ&#x20AC; or tough it out. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s changing, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good thing.â&#x20AC;?

Fed leaves key interest rate unchanged Martin Crutsinger Associated Press

The Federal Reserve has left its benchmark interest rate unchanged but signaled that it expects to resume raising rates gradually to reďŹ&#x201A;ect a healthy job market and economy.

At Janet Yellenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ďŹ nal meeting as chair Wednesday, the Fed kept its key short-term rate in a still-low range of 1.25 percent to 1.5 percent. Yellen led a cautious approach to rate increases in four years as chair, and Jerome Powell, who will succeed her next week, has indicated he favors a similar approach.

The Fed raised its key rate three times in 2017, and most economists expect the Powell-led Fed to do so at least three additional times this year beginning in March. Powell has been a Yellen ally and among the Fedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s consensus-builders in 5½ years on the central bankâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s board.

YORK COUNTY

Harley-Davidson move will bring 450 jobs to midstate Harley-Davidson’s decision to consolidate its Kansas City plant into its plant in York County will result in the creation of 450 full-time jobs.

Harley-Davidson spokeswoman Bernadette Lauer confirmed the job creation in an interview with York Dispatch.

The jobs will include casual and contracted positions, and will be added over the course of the next 18 months.

Lauer said about 800 employees currently work at the Kansas City facility, and some salaried employees will be offered positions in York County, according to the report.

The motorcycle company made the announcement of its plan to consolidate its plants in its fourth-quarter earnings release.

The company expects to incur up to $200 million in restructuring and other consolidation costs, along with approximately $75 million in capital investments over the next two years.

The company expects annual cash savings of up to $75 million by 2020 as a result of the consolidation.

Lauer told the York Dispatch the consolidation will include an expansion of the plant in Springettsbury Township, but added details have not been finalized.

‘License, registration’ Ford patents driverless police car that ambushes lawbreakers by using artificial intelligence Peter Holley Washington Post

Imagine a police car that issues tickets without even pulling you over.

What if the same car could use artificial intelligence to find “good hiding spots” to catch traffic violators and identify drivers by scanning license plates, tapping into surveillance cameras and wirelessly accessing government records?

What if a police officer tapping on your car window asking for “license and registration” became a relic?

The details may sound far fetched, like they belong in the science fiction action flick “Demolition Man” or a new dystopian novel inspired by Aldous Huxley’s “Brave New World,” but these scenarios are very much grounded in a potential reality. They come from a 14-page patent developed by Ford and granted earlier this month by the U.S. government to create autonomous police cars.

Though experts claim autonomous vehicles will make driving safer and more rule-bound, Ford’s patent argues that in the future, traffic violations will never disappear entirely.

“While autonomous vehicles can and will be programmed to obey traffic laws, a human driver can override that programming to control and operate the vehicle at any time,” the patent says. “When a vehicle is under the control of a human driver there is a possibility of violation of traffic laws.

Thus, there will still be a need to police traffic.”

A patent’s approval does not ensure a product will be produced, but it can reveal a company’s strategic planning. The patent doesn’t offer a timeline for the vehicle’s development, and Ford did not respond to a request for comment about the patent and whether the manufacturer plans to develop an autonomous police vehicle. Ford does, however, claim the company will have a fully autonomous vehicle in commercial operation as early as 2021.

The patent claims that autonomous police vehicles don’t necessarily replace the need for human police officers. Some “routine tasks,” such as issuing tickets for failure to stop at a stop sign, can be automated, the patent says, but other tasks

that can’t be automated will be left to people.

The patent — which was filed in July 2016 and includes elaborate diagrams depicting the police vehicle independently interacting with its environment — says officers could be inside the vehicle at all times and reclaim control of the car when necessary.

But the patent also outlines various scenarios in which an autonomous police vehicle would be able to carry out many tasks we associate with human officers.

In one scenario, a surveillance camera or roadside sensor documents a speeding vehicle. A signal is relayed through “a central computing system” to the autonomous police vehicle, which is tasked with pursuing the vehicle, tracking its location and capturing video that can be used to analyze the fleeing vehicle’s movement.

In another, the police vehicle analyzes traffic patterns using machine learning — a type of artificial intelligence that gives computers the ability to learn without being programmed — to determine ideal spots for catching traffic violators. Once an ideal hiding spot has been located, the vehicle uses sensors — lasers, cameras or some combination thereof — to monitor traffic in the most efficient way possible, according to the patent.

“Autonomous police vehicle may determine the threshold speed for a given section of road by searching a local traffic laws database for a legal speed limit for that section of road or by querying remote central computing system,” the patent says.

The patent says the vehicle would be able to communicate wirelessly with other vehicles on the road and determine whether a vehicle is in self driving mode or being controlled by a human driver. The patent says the offending vehicle would be able to communicate with the police car as well, providing a driver’s license, for example.

Like traffic cameras already in use, tickets, the patent notes, could be issued remotely, and a record of the incident could be sent to a police station or the department of motor vehicles.

U.S. in talks with companies to build 5G network Margaret Talev and Jennifer Epstein Bloomberg

The U.S. is in talks with private companies to build a secure 5G network amid concerns about China and cybersecurity, said two administration officials familiar with the plans.

Talks are preliminary, and key decisions over funding and control haven’t been reached, said the people, who discussed the deliberations on condition of anonymity.

The government aims to decide on a plan by the end of September and build it out over the next few years, said one of the officials.

If the U.S. opts for one secure network rather than multiple systems, the main unresolved questions would be what portion of the project would be taxpayer funded, and whether it would be owned by the government, a private consortium or some combination of public and private entities, one of the officials said.

If the federal government directly participates in building a wireless network intended for commercial use, it’d be a departure from the decades-long tradition of auctioning licenses to telecommunications

companies to build their own networks.

A handful of carriers, including Verizon, have already been moving from trials to deployments of the next-generation wireless network known as 5G. Most mobile-phone companies are targeting 2020 for the initial roll-out of the technology.

The Trump administration is in contact with U.S., European and Asian companies, but not Chinese firms, one of the officials said.

Engineers are still trying to figure out how to make 5G work. Rain, fog and trees have long been the enemy of high-frequency radio waves. Given the relatively short, fragile nature of 5G signals, carriers have to configure networks differently. They’re shifting more of the network hardware from tall towers that are scattered to spread signals over broad areas, to smaller, more clustered sites like rooftops and street poles.

Axios, citing sensitive documents it had obtained, reported that Trump national security officials are considering a takeover of part of the nation’s mobile network to guard against China. The best way to protect against China is for the U.S. to build a network itself and then rent access to carri-

ers such as AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile US, Axios quoted a memo as saying.

One of the officials dismissed the notion of a “takeover” referenced by Axios as not part of the administration’s thinking.

“Thanks to multibillion-dollar investments made by American companies, the work to launch 5G service in the United States is already well down the road,” AT&T said in a statement.

The company didn’t comment on whether it was in talks about a government-run network. Verizon, Sprint and T-Mobile didn’t respond to requests for comment.

According to the documents, a secure 5G network is critical to create a secure pathway for new technologies like self-driving cars and virtual reality, Axios reported.

U.S. lawmakers have sounded alarms about the growing power of Huawei, the Chinese network equipment maker that’s expanded its market share around the globe.

A government-backed plan to accelerate the development of 5G in the U.S. would require support from Huawei’s top rivals, such as Nokia Oyj and Ericsson AB.

As part of a plant consolidation in Kansas City, Missouri, York County will see 450 jobs come to the area as part of the company’s expansion in the region.

SEATTLE

Amazon, Berkshire, JPMorgan to form health-care company Amazon, Berkshire Hathaway and JPMorgan Chase said on Tuesday that they would form a health-care company aimed at lowering the cost of care for their U.S. employees and reducing costs to the companies.

The new entity, backed by the three U.S. corporate titans that collectively employ more than 1 million people globally, is described as a long-term venture “free from profit-making incentives and constraints.”

The initial focus, the companies said in a news release would be on technology that provides employees with simplified health care at a reasonable cost.

Few details were available during the announcement of the venture, which included statements from the leaders of each company.

“The healthcare system is complex, and we enter into this challenge openeyed about the degree of difficulty,” said Amazon founder and chief executive Jeff Bezos.

“Hard as it might be, reducing healthcare’s burden on the economy while improving outcomes for employees and their families would be worth the effort.

Success is going to require talented experts, a beginner’s mind, and a longterm orientation,” he said.

Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett called the rising costs of healthcare “a hungry tapeworm on the American economy.

“We share the belief that putting our collective resources behind the country’s best talent can, in time, check the rise in health costs while concurrently enhancing patient satisfaction and outcomes,” the chief of the conglomerate said.

Big fourth quarter?

Wall Street expects that Amazon closed out 2017 on a strong note.

Like other retailers, the e-commerce giant’s sales traditionally get a big boost from the holiday shopping season.

Amazon’s fourth-quarter results, due out today, should also provide insight into whether the company’s recent decision to hike the price of its Prime membership monthly plan by nearly 20 percent has led to cancellations.

Construction and energy markets in North America and China have helped pull the company out of a downturn in 2016. Meanwhile, the company’s backlog increased by $3.7 billion.

“This speaks to both solidifying end market demand and also highlights Caterpillar’s manufacturing capabilities,” wrote Stifel analyst Stanely S. Elliott, in a note to investors.

Elliott noted that an improving global economy further supports sustainable growth for the company over the next year.

SUPER BOWL WAGERS

Scrapple, chowder and more are on the line Jan Murphy and Julia Hatmaker jmurphy@pennlive.com

In keeping with the proud American tradition of placing a bet on the outcome of the Super Bowl, Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf and Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker have made their friendly wager.

Wolf, while not expecting to have to make good on his end of the bet, is offering to send Baker a bunch of Philly favorites including soup from Rooster Soup Co., scrapple from the Reading Terminal Market, coffee from Philadelphia’s La Colombe, Federal Donuts, and a Rosa’s Fresh pizza. His statement noted that both Rooster Soup Co. and Rosa’s support providing food for vulnerable and homeless Philadelphians.

Baker, on the other hand, is putting up some treats that Massachusettsans know well — Legal Seafood’s clam chowder; Ocean Spray Craisins; Smolak Farms apple cider donuts; Hollis Hills Farms’ apple pie, chicken pot pie and maple syrup; Grillo’s Pickles; and Koffee Kup Bakery cupcakes and lemon squares.

“Over the last year, the Eagles have battled adversity and inspired millions of fans, both on and off the field,” Wolf said in a news release. “I am putting some of my Philly favorites and Philly’s finest and most iconic food items on the line, but look forward to Governor Baker sending some Massachusetts foods to Pennsylvania.”

Wolf, who plans to attend the game and will pay for his own ticket, said he looks forward to rooting the Eagles on to victory on Sunday.

“Thankfully, all Pennsylvanians can unite in one thing this weekend: rooting for a Patriots’ loss,” Wolf said.

Both governors agreed to donate the winnings to a local food pantry of their choice.

Additionally, Wolf announced that the state Capitol will remain lit green through the weekend in support of the Eagles.

While in Minnesota attending the game, Wolf spokesman J.J. Abbott said the governor intends to collect on his winnings from the bet he made with Minnesota’s Gov. Mark Dayton before the Jan. 21 NFC Championship game when the Eagles played the Vikings. Dayton owes Wolf 5 pounds of Pearson’s Salted Nut Roll, a salty, chewy, nutty treat that is made in Minnesota, which Wolf also intends to donate to a food pantry.

The Super Bowl has brought out the competitive spirit between Pennsylvania and New England.

And it goes beyond the governors and the teams on the field.

Donut shops, breweries, museums and zoos have all joined in the fun with wagers revolving around the outcome of the game.

Here are some of the quirkiest: PHILADELPHIA MUSEUM OF ART VS. MUSEUM OF FINE ARTS BOSTON

A Philadelphia Eagles banner hangs from Philadelphia Museum of Art in view of the Rocky statue in Philadelphia. If the Patriots win Sunday, the statue will wear a Patriots’ jersey, but if the Eagles win, the statue of boxer Rocky Marciano in Brockton, Mass., will wear an Eagles jersey.

The mayor of Brockton will also send down some Rocky Marciano wine. Matt Rourke, Associated Press

“Betsy Ross” poses with an Eagles flag to celebrate Super Bowl week in Philadelphia’s Historic District. If the Eagles win, Old North Church in Boston will hang Ross’s stars and stripes flag. If the Patriots, Ross will hang two of Revere’s lanterns atop her house in Old City Philadelphia. Julia Hatmaker, PennLive

In addition to a wager, these two art museums will be sparing on Twitter using #MuseumBowl at 3 p.m. Friday.

Eagles win: The Museum of Fine Arts Boston will loan John Singleton Copley’s “Mrs. James Warren (Mercy Otis)” to the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Patriots win: The Philadelphia Museum of Art will loan Benjamin West’s “Benjamin Franklin Drawing Electricity from the Sky” to The Museum of Fine Arts Boston.

State favorites are on line in the wager between Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf, left, and Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker.

Wolf is offering Philly favorites including soup from Rooster Soup Co., scrapple from the Reading Terminal Market, coffee from Philadelphia’s La Colombe, Federal Donuts and a Rosa’s Fresh pizza. Baker is offering Legal Seafood’s clam chowder; Ocean Spray Craisins; Smolak Farms apple cider donuts; Hollis Hills Farms’ apple pie, chicken pot pie and maple syrup; Grillo’s Pickles; and Koffee Kup Bakery cupcakes and lemon squares.

Regardless of who wins, the proceeds will be donated to a local food pantry. Associated Press file photos Victory Brewing Co. and Yuengling staff will wear Patriots colors and goat masks if the Patriots win.

If a DACA fix fails, let’s be clear about who’s at fault

YOUR VIEWS

Hey, thanks for that 2 percent Social Security raise I would like to take this opportunity to express my thanks to our wonderful government for our 2 percent raise.

I am real excited, I am not sure exactly which of my bills I will pay off. Maybe I can pay my heating bill for this month.

I got $1 from the raise, my 85-year-old aunt didn’t get a dime, and my sister got $2. What kind of government can afford all that? (No mention of Medicare going up.)

So, Mr. Trump and all you wealthy people in Washington that have padded your pockets, we seniors thank you so much.

I apologize for not using a computer, but I cannot afford one, or paying the price of using one. But, now with this raise, I will be looking into it.

Double-parking issue leads to tragedy Let’s go back. Woman blocks traffic. She is asked to move her car. Woman gets belligerent — threatens with gun; woman commits crime. Marshall comes to arrest, Marshall is shot. Suffering occurs — needless loss of life.

Why are double-parking rules not enforced in Harrisburg?

Pennsylvania lawmakers must support workplace equality Our state representatives are now mandated to serve under the law, not under the radar. The Keystone State needs representatives that demonstrate our stand for equality in the workplace.

Our government is the rightful guide for other states, whether or not our leaders’ voting power has come down a peg or two, as reflected in Mr. Micek’s “representatives” article.

The biggest figures and institutions in entertainment have established a commission to be chaired by Anita Hill that intends to combat sexual misconduct and inequality in the industry.

Despite all the political jargon, right is might.

The American people want the truth, Mr. Vice President “V. president pence,” when interviewed

by Andrea Mitchell, Jan. 22 said: “The American people want...,” “the American people want...,” “the American people want...”

I would like to reply to “v. pres. pence,” (notice I have no respect for his name and position). What the American people want ... is the truth, not deceit, not lies, and remember when you refer to “the American people” they are split 30 percent to 70 percent for, and against, the U.S. president, because of his lies and deceit. Two percent probably do not care one way or another.

Remember that when you keep saying “the American people want,” look in the mirror, Mr. Pence. Can you be honest with yourself, with your personal family, with the American people? Can you be continuously honest while you are serving in the office of vice president of the United States?

If you cannot, do the “American people” justice by resigning your voted-in position.

OUR VIEW

Pension forfeiture bill is a positive move

S

ome things are just a no-brainer. • If you’re a public official who commits a felony or abuses the public trust, then you deserve to lose your taxpayer-funded pension.

The state Senate took the right step on Tuesday, voting unanimously to close a loophole that allowed former Senate Minority Leader Robert J. Mellow, D-Lackawanna County, to have his $245,000-a-year pension restored, even though he’d served federal prison time for a conspiracy conviction.

In a rare move last year, the State Employees Retirement System voted 6-5 to restore Mellow’s pension, agreeing with arguments that his federal offense didn’t line up with the list of state offenses in Pennsylvania’s pension forfeiture law.

It was the first time in 11 years the board had made such a decision.

The bill now goes to the Republican-controlled House of Representatives for consideration.

If that chamber has a lick of sense, it will also swiftly and unanimously approve the measure sponsored by Sen. John DiSanto, R-Dauphin County, and send it to Gov. Tom Wolf for his signature.

The Democratic governor is already on-record with his support for the biparti-

san measure.

“Providing pensions to those who have committed crimes related to their elected offices is a betrayal of the public’s trust,” Wolf said in a statement. “Public officials should be held to the highest possible standard and we should expect more out of them and our government.”

In an op-ed for PennLive last fall, DiSanto said it was “obvious to (him) and (it) should be obvious to both elected officials and private citizens alike that public employees and public officials who are convicted of or plead guilty or no contest to any felony offense related to their employment should not receive a taxpayer-funded pension.”

We agree.

In the course of their official duties, Pennsylvania’s elected officials are often called upon to make tough calls on matters of policy.

This isn’t one of them. Closing this loophole might be the easiest vote the state House makes all year. It shouldn’t waste any time in doing it.

The Republican Congress’ complete subservience to the White House is nowhere more evident than on immigration. There are clear, overwhelming majorities in both houses for a narrowly focused bill to legalize the “dreamers” and to strengthen border security.

A bill of that type, however, almost certainly will not get an up-or-down vote in both houses. So what’s the problem?

“Paul Ryan has said many times that he is sympathetic to the dreamers. He doesn’t think they should be deported. They came here at young minors, only know the United States as home,” Politico’s Rachael Bade observed on CBS’s “Face the Nation” on Sunday.

When it comes to moments of truth, however, Ryan is a captive of the anti-immigration right. Republicans refused to bring the Gang of Eight bill to the floor in 2013. Ryan now seems determined not to put on the floor a fix for a widely popular effort to legalize young undocumented immigrants after President Donald Trump pulled the plug on the Deferred Action on Childhood Arrivals policy.

In this, he bows to the far-right Freedom Caucus and the White House’s most virulent anti-immigrant voice, senior policy adviser Stephen Miller. (I would add that there is nothing “conservative” about the throwing out hard-working Americans who were brought here through no fault of their own.) The formula — legalize dreamers for more border security — is a specific, attainable object if it remains about the dreamers and border security.

Rep. Pete Aguilar, D-Calif., has such a narrowly focused bill. But in the path of success stands Ryan. “This is the only bill that would have 218 votes on the House floor. We feel very confident about that,” Aguilar said on “Face the Nation.” “We have had numbers of discussions with our colleagues. But this is the type of bipartisan approach that the American public wants to see.

It’s an odd role for the speaker, to prevent consensus and block legislation favored by a majority of his body ...

And it’s important that, if we’re going to fix this DACA issue and have border security, this is the type of narrow focus that can get 218 votes and can get to the president’s desk.” So if there is no DACA fix because a bill of this type never gets a vote, the blame falls squarely on Ryan.

The White House proposal last week was straight from the anti-immigrants’ playbook. With DACA nearly an afterthought, the main thrust was to dramatically reduce immigration, specifically targeting those who come for family reunification or through the lottery system, which has always been the not-so-hidden agenda of far-right anti-immigration groups. “Chain migration” — that is, family unification (funny how the party of family values is allergic to using the word “family” in this case) — is another red herring, an excuse to try to depress legal immigration, especially of nonwhites.

Politico Magazine reports: “This is because each link in the chain takes years — and sometimes decades — to complete.

Bluntly put, America isn’t being overrun by Chinese- and Mexican-born grandmas. ...

“Back in the late ’80s, the waiting list for a typical family visa was six to 12 years, depending on the country. Now those waiting lists are much longer. It takes five years for your Chinese spouse to become a U.S. citizen and petition for his sister. The family visa system is badly backlogged; the U.S. is currently processing sibling visa requests for China that were filed in 2004, making the total wait for a visa just shy of two decades. For Mexico and the Philippines, the total wait now exceeds 25 years.

“Chain migration, put another way, is a myth — it takes too long for a chain to form.

It’s an odd role for the speaker, to prevent consensus and block legislation favored by a majority of his body and the vast majority of the country, but he pursues it with a vengeance. The Constitution, the dreamers, and the American people will be the losers if he repeats Republicans’ 2013 performance.

God calls us to welcome refugees — not turn them away I strongly object to the many racist statements that President Trump has made, including his recent one against Africa and Haiti.

Many people in developing nations face drought, famine, wars, terrorism, persecution, extreme poverty, and natural calamities.

We should be giving to church-related relief/development agencies to help the poorest people in the world.

Refugees from developing nations, areas such as Africa and Haiti, should be welcomed and put on a fast track to U.S. citizenship. DACA immigrants and those from El Salvador should be given amnesty and citizenship.

Our billionaire president and many of us in this nation have no remote experience relative to the level of suffering many people in the world endure.

God can use us to help and heal, not judge and hate.

God loves all of his children and welcomes them.

So should we.

In address, divisive Trump calls for unity John L. Micek

jmicek@pennlive.com

President Donald Trump, who’s never been shy about hammering his rivals and skewering his opponents, used his first State of the Union speech Tuesday night to call for unity as the nation attacks some of its biggest challenges.

In a nearly 90-minute prime-time speech that saw the president’s Republican allies rise to their feet while Democrats sat stone-faced, Trump reiterated his call for an immigration reform plan to put a premium on border security even as it provides an eventual path to citizenship for nearly 2 million undocumented immigrants.

“My duty, and the sacred duty of every elected official in this chamber, is to defend Americans — to protect their safety, their families, their communities, and their right to the American Dream. Because Americans are dreamers too,” Trump said.

The president frequently pointed to the dangers posed by the MS-13 street gang, which he said had exploited weaknesses in American immigration law to illegally enter the country and kill innocent citizens.

Trump said he’d presented Congress with a “detailed proposal that should be supported by both parties as a compromise ... but one where our country gets the critical reforms it needs and must have.”

Trump’s guests included the surviving family members of two Long Island teens who had been murdered by MS-13 gang members, as well as a member of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement whom Trump promised “reinforcements” in efforts to keep the border secure.

Democratic lawmakers in the hall of the House of Representatives, meanwhile, were accompanied by Dreamers, undocumented immigrants brought to the United States as children, who have found themselves unwitting pawns in the high-stakes battle of immigration reform.

In a statement, U.S. Sen. Bob Casey, D-Pa., said Trump’s “presidency has been a series of broken promises to the middle class and workers, a fact which tonight’s address did not change.”

Casey, who is up for re-election this year, dismissed an administration that he said “talks about helping workers and middle class families, but when it comes to actions, it’s all extreme right economics and decimating health care.

Casey’s remarks contrasted with those of U.S. Rep. Lloyd Smucker, R-16th District, who said the president “delivered a hopeful, confident message to the American people.”

Trump’s remarks about immigration evoked only the dangers posed by illegal immigration and by what he said were the risks posed by legal, family-based immigration and a visa Lottery program that brings diverse immigrants to the United States. His scripted remarks echoed those he’d made as a candidate, where he characterized immigrants from Mexico as criminals. “It’s time to begin moving toward a merit-based immigration system,” encouraging immigra-

tion by people “who are skilled and who will love and respect our country,” Trump said.

As expected, Trump touted the effects of a tax reform package passed along party lines and sent to his desk late last year. “Our massive tax cuts provide tremendous relief for the middle class and small businesses,” he said, adding later, “There has never been a better time to start living the American Dream ... This is your time ... Together, we can achieve absolutely anything.”

He also touted the benefits of his nationalist trade policy, which he said had resulted in such major car manufacturers as Chrysler relocating to the United States from Mexico.

“Very soon, auto plants and other plants will be opening all over our country,” he said. “This is news that many Americans are unaccustomed to hearing. They want to be where the action is. They want to be in the United States of America. That’s where they want to be.

Trump called for the passage of an infrastructure plan that calls for $1.5 trillion in investment, leverage state and local resources and, where appropriate, private investment.

Trump did not offer much in the way of concrete detail on how he’d realize this effort, instead offering broad outlines.

“Together we can reclaim our great building heritage,” he said, calling for a speeding up of federal permit approvals that he said had gotten in the way of such efforts.

Trump vowed to keep up the fight against opioid abuse, even though steps taken by his administration so far have resulted in little in the way of tangible progress.

He sounded an appropriately bellicose tone on national security and defense issues, talking tough when it came to such foreign regimes as North Korea.

“We know that weakness is the surest path to conflict and unmatched power is the surest mean to our true and great defense,” he said.

Trump began his speech with an appeal to unity, highlighting the efforts of first responders who committed quiet acts of heroism during last year’s hurricanes, floods and wildfires. “It is not enough to come together only in times of tragedy,” he said. “Tonight, I call upon all of us to set aside our differences, to seek out common ground, and to summon the unity we need to deliver for the people. This is really the key. These are the people we were elected to serve.”

Trump’s scripted rhetoric on Tuesday night, however, clashed with public statements he’d made on Twitter only days and hours earlier.

On Sunday, for instance, Trump criticized the rapper Jay Z in a dispute over the African-American unemployment rate. Trump similarly blasted Congressional Democrats, to whom he’d appealed for cooperation, as “only interested in obstruction.”

And without mentioning them by name, Trump appeared to continue his feud with professional football player who took a knee this season, rather than stand for the national anthem. “Americans love their country and deserve a government that shows them the same love and loyalty in return,” he said.

Cooperation needed to ensure freedom on internet Douglas Frantz The battle over net neutrality is rightfully capturing headlines in Washington and worldwide. Far less attention is being paid, however, to a looming threat that could have an even greater impact on the future: The Internet has outstripped the ability of governments to keep up. On issues as diverse as hate speech, espionage and copyright infringement, governments fear a loss of sovereignty in a fast-moving digital world.

On taxation and privacy rights, Government 1.0 can’t stay abreast of Technology 4.0.

In response, many governments are erecting national and regional barriers that could cripple the openness at the heart of the Internet. Some of these barriers come from well-intentioned governments trying to protect their citizens and economies, such as those disinclined to trade information about criminal cases and copyright protection.

Others, such as unilateral blocking of social media sites in China, Iran and Turkey, are used by authoritarian leaders to stifle dissent and protect their own power.

Neither of these dangers is abstract. Most people agree on the basic principles of an open Internet.

Fights are already emerging over efforts by some countries to block content, require that certain kinds of digital data be kept on local servers, and exert legal and economic authority over the broad digital world. For example, criminals increasingly use the

Internet to communicate and to carry out crimes. This means law enforcement officials need greater access to digital data. Yet cooperation among governments and tech companies has not kept up with the globalization. Similarly, there are no universal standards for responding to massive data breaches.

No responsible individual or policymaker should want the Internet to turn into a lawless frontier where anything goes. But taken together, whether well-meaning or ill-intentioned, the unilateral actions by governments will inevitably reduce the dynamism and innovation of the Internet.

The absence of a coherent, globa l approach to Internet governance threatens everything from human rights and legitimate law enforcement to cybersecurity and economic prosperity.

Attempts to resolve these thorny issues face obstacles erected by governments and corporations. The effort at the United Nations to create global cyber rules have stalled. Unilateral actions like the forthcoming E.U. rules are causing concern among tech companies that fear higher costs and lost revenue even as they are applauded by privacy advocates.

How do we counter this trend toward what some dub the “splinternet?”

Like every global issue, this one requires a global solution. Working at the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development and at the State Department during

the Obama administration, I saw the benefits of broad-based discussions about multipronged issues. Consensus is never easy, but it provides the best chance of lasting success.

In the case of preserving the value and enormous future potential of the Internet, policymakers, regulators, industry leaders, scientists and the public should be asking what sort of framework will both safeguard legitimate government interests and protect the open Internet. Solutions won’t be easy. The United States is involved in ongoing discussions with the E.U. and with the U.K. on complementary approaches, but differences remain. Similarly, China’s unilateral restrictions on Internet content have forced tech companies to sacrifice independence for access. Failure to establish global rules could spark a legal arms race in which every single actor tries to solve the challenges of the Internet on their own. What is required is a transnational policy process to preserve the character of the Internet, harmonize laws and regulations, and enable the continued expansion of digital economy in ways that are both innovative and inclusive. Fortunately, that discussion is underway.

Bloomberg View

If you’re like me, you’ve spent a lot of quality time this past month on the couch, endlessly watching football games and losing the remote with every first down.

So you ended up seeing a lot of ads with the sound on, and for the first time in a while you remembered just how dumb they are.

The winner of my personal stupid prize: Domino’s “pizza carryout insurance,” which offers a free replacement if you somehow manage to destroy your pizza on the way home.

This is just the latest in a long line of products that distort people’s understanding of what insurance should be.

Somebody has to put their foot down, and that somebody is me.

Let’s remind ourselves what insurance actually is.

It’s protection against calamity.

It’s something that pays out only in unusual circumstances — and sometimes never — but definitely only when you would not be able to afford the loss.

If you can buy a pizza, pretty much by definition you can afford the loss of a pizza.

You don’t need insurance.

Maybe pizza insurance isn’t the worst possible idea. What’s galling is how these products so often skew or exploit our concept of what should be a product for the prudent.

The same is true of your iPhone, or of headphones you might buy on Amazon.

I’m not saying you would never use the insurance.

Things happen; sometimes they happen to headphones.

But the way such insurance is usually priced, you’re paying way too much to offset the actual risk of having broken headphones.

Plus it tends to include all kinds of stipulations and complications designed to make collecting more difficult. It’s a rigged system, so please just don’t.

Other kinds of so-called insurance stink too.

Consider dental insurance, which typically comes with a maximum payout of about $1,000. That’s the opposite of insurance, because it peters out precisely when you face the most unaffordable situations.

It doesn’t even cover one freaking root canal. For some reason, this is par for the crappy dental insurance course.

At least pizza and dental insurance actually pay out.

That’s not what happened with some companies that, ahead of the 2008 financial crisis, sold insurance to protect bond investors from defaults.

Perhaps they should have been called prem iu m- col lec t ing compa n ie s, a s opposed to insurance companies, because their mathematical models assumed that they would almost never have to pay out.

They largely ignored the possibility that catastrophe could hit everywhere at once, so they didn’t prepare. This is generally true for insurers of municipal bonds, which rarely default (with the imminent exception of Puerto Rico). But it’s particularly true of those that expanded into mortgage-backed and other bonds. As a group they cratered when the crisis hit, failing in their most basic task as insurers.

Finally, there’s the worst of all: Insurance you didn’t knowingly sign up for in the first place. It’s everywhere.

Wells Fargo charged auto loan customers for insurance without telling them; banks take large fees for overdrafts instead of simply denying the charge; fake insurance policies add unnecessary cost to already predatory payday loans.

Real insurance does exist and we definitely need it.

Health care is one area where horribly large, unexpected and unaffordable events really do happen.

Another is automobiles, because we often cannot afford to buy new cars or pay for the damage they cause to others.

These two types of insurance rise to the level of requirements for middle-class citizenship. They might be a bit expensive, at least for most people most of the time, because insurance policies are priced to be profitable on average. But we should all have them.

Maybe pizza insurance isn’t the worst possible idea. What’s galling is how these products so often skew or exploit our concept of what should be a product for the prudent.

But they’re not likely to stop, so we’ll have to start getting smarter.

FROM A1

Trump continued to warn against what he sees as the scourge of illegal immigration. But he cloaked the warnings with soft descriptions of the American character, describing the nation as “one team, one people and one American family,” and suggested immigrant communities actually would benefit from his policies.

He alluded to one frequent target — the mostly black N F L players who have protested police violence and other racial injustice by kneeling for the national anthem — but did so only obliquely, not mentioning them as he usually does but instead emphatically equating reverence for service members with “why we proudly stand for the national anthem.”

As he reeled off natural disasters and tragedies of the last year, including the shooting at a congressional baseball practice that nearly killed a Republican House leader, he emphasized that “we came together, not as Republicans or Democrats, but as representatives of the people.”

T he sp e e ch c a me i n what’s become a familiar spot for Trump: at a historic low in polls, furious over the Russia investigation and frustrated that he is not getting credit for a good economy.

But the president put much of that aside, claiming credit for the economy as he sought to lay the groundwork for a bipartisan achievement that has eluded him — on immigration, and a major new infrastructure initiative. He said notably little about three issues that animated his campaign and first year as president: health care, trade and the international Iran nuclear deal.

Trump also made no mention of China.

Trump, like other presidents facing troubles, is hoping the high-profile, nationally televised speech will help him move past the tumult in his White House and the shadow of the Russia investigation — an inquiry into his campaign’s possible collusion with Russia’s election meddling and his own alleged acts of obstruction — that has clouded his first year. Trump refrained from mentioning the investigation.

“This is in fact our new American moment,” Trump said, repeating a phrase used

by Clinton to describe President Barack Obama’s foreign policy when she served as his secretary of State. “There has never been a better time to start living the American dream.”

Trump hammered the theme of “building a safe, strong, proud America”; which fits loosely around p ol ic y prop o s a l s for a $1.5-trillion plan to build a

“safe, fast, reliable and modern infrastructure our economy needs and our people deserve”; an increase in military spending, and an overhaul of the immigration system. His controversial immigration plan would sharply cut the number of legal immigrants while allowing a path to citizenship for young “Dreamers” who were brought to the country illegally as children.

Trump framed his desire to restrict immigration as a security issue, arguing that a porous border has increased the threat of terrorism and drug trafficking. Immigrant advocates say Trump is creating scapegoats, and deepening racial and ethnic divides.

The president, however, contended that he wants to be a uniter. “Tonight I am extending an open hand to work with members of both parties, Democrats and Republicans, to protect our citizens, of every background, color and creed,” he said.

Earlier Tuesday, Trump told a group of network television anchors meeting at the White House that his biggest lesson since taking office more than a year ago has been tempering his profit-centered business instinct with the need to show “heart” in his governing decisions.

“What I’m doing now, a lot of it is heart, a lot of it is compassion, a lot of it is far beyond money — such as immigration,” he said, adding, “If I was doing this purely from an economic standpoint, I would sit down and tell you in one second what I’d be doing, OK?” E l e ve n m o n t h s a g o, Trump addressed Congress and a prime-time TV audience from the Capitol, but by tradition a president’s first report on the state of the union — based on a constitutional requirement — does not occur until after a year in office.

OPIOID

Inc. Endo Health Solutions Inc. › Endo Pharmaceuticals Inc. And these doctors: › Perry Fine, of Utah › Lynn Webster, of Utah › Scott Fishman, of California All three were instrumental in promoting opioids for sale nationally and in Dauphin County, the suit states.

Haste pointed out that none of the doctors sued were from Dauphin County, or even Pennsylvania, which he was pleased to see.

But the real reason behind filing the suit comes down to one simple thing.

“To save lives,” Haste said.

The county saw 102 overdose deaths in 2017, which is up from 85 in 2016.

“With the horrendous

human toll comes increasing costs to counties, which not only provide drug and alcohol treatment and prevention services but also handle child welfare, corrections and court cases,” Commissioner Mike Pries added.

Dauphin County spent $19.6 million to help 2,859 people suffering from addict ion — a n 860 percent increase in treatment dollars and a 400 percent increase in the number of those seeking help from five years ago, county officials say.

Any recovered money will go toward paying for drug abuse treatment and prevention programs.

“Making treatment readily accessible is the only way we are going to turn the tide, and we need the drug companies to start helping to pay for that treatment instead of forcing taxpayers alone

to foot the bill,” Commissioner George P. Hartick III said.

Sixteen counties in the state have filed similar suits, including York and Franklin counties.

Dauphin County’s suit is seeking a jury trial. It alleges the named defendants knew the addiction that comes with long-term opioid use, but misrepresented the dangers, minimized the risk and encouraged the use of the drugs.

The county is seeking an unspecified amount of damages, but asks the court to award “an amount sufficient to fairly and completely compensate the county.”

They are also asking for the judge to require the manufacturers to “abate t he public hea lt h nuisance.”

“Everybody seemed to be coming to the table to try to fight this drug-addiction problem,” Haste said. “The folks who were still not at the table were the manufacturers, and in some cases doctors.”

The suit, filed in Dauphin County Court, names the following manufacturers: › Purdue Pharma LP › Purdue Pharma Inc. › The Purdue Frederick Co. Inc. › Teva Pharmaceuticals USA Inc. › Cephalon Inc. › Johnson & Johnson › Janssen Pharmaceuticals Inc. › Ortho-McNeil-Janssen Pharmacueticals Inc. › Janssen Pharmaceutica

other priorities, including an undefined plan to reform federal prisons. He talked about solving the opioid crisis, yet called for greater law enforcement rather than new funding or programs to combat the epidemic of addiction.

Trump announced that he would keep open the U.S. military prison camp on Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, reversing another Obama administration policy and signaling a return to military detentions for captured terrorism suspects. The once-populous camp now holds just 41 prisoners.

A lt h o u g h pr e s id e nt s t rad it iona l ly u se t he se speeches to lay out their vision early in the year, they also claim credit for firstyear achievements. Trump spoke about the economy and his $1.5-trillion tax cut, boasting about the rising stock market and low unemployment.

He also repeated his contention that his policies brought black unemployment to a historic low, when that development — like other economic gains — reflects a trend that began in Obama’s first term, after the Great Recession.

As Republicans rose and applauded Trump’s assertion about black employment, members of the Congressional Black Caucus sat stone-faced; many wore African print shawls in apparent protest of Trump’s recent slur calling the nations Africa “shithole” countries.

In a recent Pew poll, 41 percent of Americans rated the economy as excellent or good, one of the strongest such ratings in a decade.

Yet many Americans do not give Trump credit. On average, polls show his approval at about 40 percent, lower than the standing of any of his predecessors in the modern era after a year in office.

faced through much of the address.

The tax cut law has elicited mixed expectations, according to Pew, with about a third of Americans saying they expect it to improve their personal finances, a third saying they expect it to harm them and another third expecting no change.

Other polls have shown a majority of Americans believe the tax cuts favor high-earners, contrary to Trump’s claim — repeated in his address — that they mostly benefit the middle class.

Administration officials say the tax cut will grow more popular as Trump sells it and as the large reduction in corporate rates leads to higher middle-class wages.

Economists, including at the Federal Reserve, have more modest expectations, predicting a small short-term effect on economic growth.

Trump named the tax cuts, reduced regulations and what he calls an end to the “war on American energy” — including coal — among promises fulfilled.

He credited the tax cuts with prompting businesses to give bonuses for roughly 3 million workers, though he exaggerated the amounts as “thousands and thousands of dollars” when most are $1,000. Some wage hikes and bonuses were negotiated in union contracts or planned by corporations before the tax cuts became law.

Trump also trumpeted success in beating back the militant group Islamic State, while conceding that “there is much more work to be done.”

“Pa st ex per ience ha s taug ht us t hat complacency and concessions only invite aggression and provocation,” he said. “I will not repeat the mistakes of the past administrations that got us into this dangerous position.”

If you love the outdoors, you’ll probably want to come to Harrisburg over the next week.

One watercolor has wowed the curators at the Museum of the American Revolution in Philadelphia.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 235 years old and 7 feet long. Its subject is the Continental Army encampment at Verplanckâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Point in 1782. It was painted by Pierre Lâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Enfant, a French-American military engineer who would go on to come up with the original city plan for Washington, D.C. What makes the watercolor so special isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily its age or its painter. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a small white tent on a hilltop. Just a few brushstrokes that mean so much more. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If I had a defibrillator, it would have gone oďŹ&#x20AC; I was so excited,â&#x20AC;? said R. Scott Stephenson, vice president of collections at the Museum of the American Revolution, referring to when he spotted it.

That tent is Washingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s field headquarters, which is the prize artifact at the Museum of the American Revolution. Before the watercolor, the museum had no pictures of the tent in action from Washingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s era.

Now, it has an entire exhibit devoted to the Lâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Enfant work, which the museum discovered and identiďŹ ed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Among His Troopsâ&#x20AC;? is a temporary exhibit, open at the Museum of the American Revolution in Philadelphia through Feb. 19. It is free with museum admission.

The Lâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Enfant watercolor is more than a look at the field headquarters tent. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a snapshot of a moment in time, and a look at the Continental Army at its very best.

When Lâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Enfant painted the army, Washingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s troops were on a mission to impress the French, so that the army could continue to enjoy French military and ďŹ nancial support. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They worked really hard to get those guys spit and polished,â&#x20AC;? Stephenson said.

That need to impress isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t something you would expect from the period. The watercolor depicts the army in 1782, one year after the Battle of Yorktown and the defeat of Gen. Charles Cornwallis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We tend to think the war and all the cri-

Gallery educator Dan Center answers historical questions. He is dressed as a Life Guard, a soldier whose job was protecting George Washington. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Among His Troopsâ&#x20AC;? is a new temporary exhibit at the Museum of the American Revolution in Philadelphia. The exhibit focuses on a rare watercolor by Pierre Lâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Enfant of George Washingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s encampment at Verplanckâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Point during the Revolutionary War.

ses that went along with that ended with Yorktown, but in fact at this moment everything was uncertain,â&#x20AC;? Mead said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It looked like the war could fail, Americans might not achieve their independence, and, even if it succeeded, the republican experiment of the United States would fall apart in the breach.â&#x20AC;?

The French fleet had been defeated by British in West Indies. The British army had defeated the Spanish and French in Gibraltar. The British government was considering refocusing its military energy on the United States, Mead said.

In the meantime, Congress had stopped paying the Continental Army troops.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s part of the reason Washington is shown in his tent on the ďŹ eld, rather than a nearby house. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the middle of all of that crisis, he knew that he was the most powerful unifying symbol in the nation,â&#x20AC;? Mead said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He wanted every one of those troops in those encampment, all spread out ... he wanted all of them to see that he was with them, that he had their back.â&#x20AC;?

The exhibit goes into detail about the watercolor, magnifying certain aspects and providing context. There are also hands-on activities, including a chance for kids to dress up as Revolutionary War soldiers, hang out in tents and roll an ammunition cannister.

“Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri” Margot Robbie gives an incisive performance as Olympic figure skater Tonya Harding. Neon-30West

Actress Robbie’s ‘I, Tonya’ is a champion bioflick ‘I, Tonya’

Colin Covert (Minneapolis) Star Tribune

Directed by Craig Gillespie and starring Margot Robbie, Sebastian Stan, Allison Janney, Julianne Nicholson and Bobby Cannavale

What we have in “I, Tonya” is not a standard sports movie but the crazed crossbreed child of “Slap Shot” and “Goodfellas.” Scene by scene, it made me laugh, cringe, get angry, upset, confused, enlightened, entertained, almost tearful and awed.

According to the opening credits, it’s “based on irony-free, wildly contradictory and totally true interviews with Tonya Harding and Jeff Gillooly.” The issue in question is the 1994 knee-bashing of Nancy Kerrigan, Harding’s Olympic skating teammate and rival, a scandal that made Harding the most notorious woman in the world.

The story is told as a time-flipping, many-sided mixed chorus of accounts, a kaleidoscopic view of what occurred.

Or what the characters claim occurred, anyway. You know that it’s almost factual yet gleefully bogus because Harding (a brilliant, dazzling and comically great Margot Robbie) and her blissful teen first-date/loser ex-husband Gillooly (Sebastian Stan, doing fine outside the Marvel Cinematic Universe) serve as the movie’s bickering bookends.

We meet the former couple in present-day middle age, long divorced and favoring wildly mismatched perspectives, then follow them through extended flashbacks to their raunchy, rowdy younger lives. Sometimes they break the fourth wall, face the camera while doing something disgraceful and insist, “This is not how it happened.” So, of course, that’s how it happened.

Under the sure hand of director Craig Gillespie, the movie knows when it’s being nutty. When Harding enters the first bloom of her tomboy youth, we hear her say, “I was 15,” and that very instant the gorgeously mature Robbie appears onscreen in high-waist jeans and unspoiled innocence. The film is an instant gonzo classic.

Robbie, unforgettable as Leonardo DiCaprio’s hot-tempered trophy wife in “The Wolf of Wall Street,” outshines herself as the title character, gracefully swinging between irony and agony amid surprisingly good skating. She’s cast against type as a self-described Oregon “redneck” and high school dropout. Harding was a natural force on the ice, but one who seemed better suited to the NHL. The movie puts us in Harding’s corner early, as we meet her abrasive, frequently married, frequently single mother LaVona Golden. She’s played to spine-tingling, hilarious per-

Rating: R (pervasive language, violence and some sexual content/nudity) Time: 1 hour, 59 minutes Tomatoes: 4 Critics: 90% Audience: 89%

fection by Allison Janney. LaVona pushes her skate-loving 3-year-old into a children’s class so one day she might land a job in “the Ice Capades or something.” Dirt poor, foulmouthed as a mobster and tough as leather, LaVona raises Tonya, her sixth child from her fourth husband, with tough love, except without the love.

Janney generates uproarious slapstick in scenes of this gargoyle walloping young Tonya with a hairbrush or kicking her and her chair over at the dinner table for being sassy.

LaVona is repulsive, but her caustic personality is compelling. It’s a very odd dynamic. You know you shouldn’t like this woman, but her unsinkable ego just carries you along. When the camera ignores her for a while, she pops back onscreen to complain, “Well, my story line is disappearing now!”

Well before her teens, Tonya (played as a youth by Mckenna Grace) has a pile of JV trophies and her eyes on the big prize. Instead of graceful ballet and classical music, she skated athletic, rock ’n’ roll routines, an extreme-sports strategy that left most competitors behind her in a spray of ice. As the first American woman to jump the difficult triple axel, she powered herself into sports history, class prejudice be damned. Still, she couldn’t get the respect that judges awarded to fellow Olympic competitor Kerrigan, an elegant miss goody two-skates.

Gillespie generates an off-kilter, anything-goes atmosphere. The film is packed with “I can’t believe what I just saw” laughs, even as you wonder, “Why am I laughing?”

When Harding’s love fades and competitive fame rises, the estranged Gillooly tries to win her back by sending Kerrigan a threatening letter to scare her off the ice. That only sets the dominoes falling, ever faster, toward the event everyone here calls “The Incident.”

The film, following the events that made her a household name (and then a punchline to trailer-trash jokes) doesn’t condemn Harding. Nor does it use her hard upbringing as a moral get-out-of-jail-free card. The film follows her to one of her post-skating careers as a female pro boxer.

There’s a great, dense sociological essay here about sports, women, family dysfunction, the American dream and class prejudice, proving that comedy does not have to be silly.

Comedy can be about important things.

MOVIE REVIEW

‘Hostiles’

Michael Phillips Chicago Tribune

Written and directed by Scott Cooper and starring Christian Bale, Rosamund Pike and Wes Studi

In “Hostiles,” a solemnly bloody tale of white redemption in the Old West from writer-director Scott Cooper, Christian Bale does all his truest, best acting in between his actual lines of dialogue. The time is 1892. Bale’s character is an Army captain who has seen much slaughter, and has done a vengeful lion’s share of killing, in the wars against the Native American tribes.

Working from material written decades ago by Donald Stewart, Cooper’s film follows a redemptive journey north from New Mexico to Montana, as the fiercely bigoted Capt.

Joseph Blocker and his men, on orders from President Benjamin Harrison, escort a long-imprisoned and now dying Cheyenne war chief, played by Wes Studi, to his ancestral homeland. There, surrounded by his family, Yellow Hawk hopes to die with some measure of peace on his soul.

The hostiles of Cooper’s title, of course, refer to tribes as well as the land-grabbing, government-sanctioned “settlers.” Cooper begins with a deliberately familiar sequence straight out of a hundred previous Westerns. A Comanche attack on white settlers leaves three children and one man dead, a homestead in flames and a suddenly widowed survivor, Rosalee Quaid, played by Rosamund Pike, crazed with grief. Discovered en route to Montana by Blocker and company, Quaid joins the men on the trail north. And, as in Anthony Mann’s masterly early 1950s high-country Western “The Naked Spur,” a weaselly prisoner in chains (Ben Foster, doing his best, undermining Robert Ryan act) serves as a destabilizing force for all concerned.

Cooper has reworked this 1980s-era material to suit his own needs, but for better and for worse, “Hostiles” comes from a halfway point between the early revisionist anti-heroic Westerns of the 1970s and the gentler, patronizing likes

BEST PICTURE

Wes Studi, left, and Christian Bale star in “Hostiles.” Entertainment Studios

of “Dances with Wolves.”

That’s often true of the film itself. Old-school fans of old-school, pre-sensitive Westerns might well roll their eyes at Blocker’s massive, rather preposterous change of heart regarding the people he has fought his entire adult life. Whatever one’s P.C. leanings, “Hostiles” errs in sidelining the Native American characters, some mere sketches in the margins, too long and too often. It’s Blocker’s story, and Bale is very good. But for “Hostiles” to fully make sense of its introductory on-screen D.H. Lawrence quotation — “The essential American soul is hard, isolate, stoic, and a killer. It has never yet melted” — we’d need a tougher, less comforting ending than the one Cooper provides.

Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, the iconic children’s television series, made its U.S. network debut on Feb. 19, 1968.

T h is Febr ua r y ma rk s the 50th anniversary of the launch of “Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood,” one of the iconic programs for generations of children on WITF. Mr. Rogers, often remembered for his sweaters and sneakers, created the Neighborhood of Make-Believe where puppets and people helped children think and learn about their feelings and questions. Rogers passed away in 2003 from stomach cancer. His 90th birthday would have been this March.

WITF and PBS are presenting a variety of events and broadcasts to mark the show’s anniversary.

The week of Feb. 26 feat ure episode s of “Da niel Tiger’s Neighborhood” paired with the “Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood” episodes that inspired them. Monday deals with death, Tuesday features families, Wednesday looks up to grandparents, Thursday is all about friends and Friday wraps up with mad feelings.

A c ompa n ion fa m i ly activity guide, just like Mr. Rogers would provide at the show’s inception, will be available on the education page of witf.org.

Fans can also interact with PBS characters created by the Fred Rogers Co. at Ready Set Explore children’s events. Children can participate in “Build Our Neighborhood with Peg + Cat” at the York Expo Center from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. Feb. 10.

Next month, WITF premieres a new documentary at 8 p.m. March 6, titled “Mister Rogers: It’s You I Like,” hosted by actor and former stage-hand Michael Keaton. The show included inter v iews from ma ny notable individuals who share personal anecdotes and memories about “Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood’s” impact on their lives. This program repeats several times through March.

Later in 2018, “Won’t You Be My Neighbor” squares the spotlight solely on Fred Rogers. The film was screened at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year. It will broadcast on WITF as part of Independent Lens at a time still to be determined.

Fred Rogers touched the lives of generations of viewers. Join WITF to commemorate this legacy and look for other upcoming opportunities to celebrate with us.

‘Roadshow’ shows midstate’s love of history Kathleen Pavelko WITF

It was a really long day in July 2017 at the Pennsylvania Farm Show arena, where 4,701 lucky lottery winners brought their tickets and two treasures each to the “Antiques Roadshow” in Harrisburg.

Over the course of 14 hours, 70 Antiques Roadshow appra isers identified and evaluated objects in every possible arts and cra f ts categor y — from paintings to pottery, books to bracelets, carpets to crystal glassware.

Experts all, they were rarely stumped and unfailingly impressed with the enthusiasm and patience of the attendees waiting to hear about their objects.

W ITF had no trouble recruiting 125 volunteers to spend 14 hours walking miles on concrete floors to guide attendees to and from appraisers. Most were WITF donors or local fans, but some were “Antiques Roadshow” groupies who follow the show from production location to production location.

When the WGBH/Boston-based crew had completed the summer productions and returned home,

More than 5,000 hopefuls took their treasures to Antiques Roadshow when it stopped by the Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex last Summer! More than 100 WITF volunteers and staff helped make the production possible. Joanne Cassaro, WITF

they begin editing hundreds of hours of footage into three episodes from each location. We learned in the fall that Harrisburg had been selected to kick off “Antiques Roadshow’s” 22nd season, an honor and an indication that there were some very special objects evaluated here.

And then, a special treat on a cold night in early January: Almost 200 of WITF’s volunteers, friends a nd donors got a sneak preview

of the Harrisburg episodes and at WITF’s original production of “Behind t he Scenes at Antiques Roadshow Harrisburg.”

Even we at WITF weren’t told about all of the items to be included in the episodes, but we received a few hints about Pennsylvania-specific finds: an 1800 Lancaster tall chest, a Nakashima table and chairs and a Union-used musket confiscated from the Confederacy. Oh, and a plaster head of a master thief.

That had to be seen to be believed.

“Antiques Roadshow” showcased Harrisburg artifacts and our region’s love of its history and material culture.

If you missed viewing the episodes live, they are also available for on-demand viewing at video.witf. org — type “Antiques Roadshow Harrisburg” in the search field — and on the PBS App (Roku, AppleTV, iOS, Android, etc).

And so, after 30-plus years of reviewing restaurants for WITF, I now also come to the pages and digital spaces of PennLive/The Patriot-News.

And happily so.

I figured I’d start out going back a bit.

There’s been, as longtime locals can attest, quite a change in the area’s restaurant scene since I began the delightful task of dining out and writing about it for the folks of central Pennsylvania.

Almost all of the change is, in my view, for the better.

But it struck me that it’s too often easy to overlook or under-appreciate how we got from there to here.

That’s why I returned, for this premier piece, to the place that (way back in 1998) arguably ushered the capital, if not the region, into the modern dining era.

I speak, of course, of Stock’s on 2nd.

Before it, Harrisburg had no “restaurant row.” And the way restaurants come and go, just the fact that it’s still standing is a tribute to its owners.

Stephen and K.J. Weinstock, the husband-andwife team that own and operate Stock’s, as well as Carley’s Ristorante and Piano Bar (around the corner on Locust Street), Stock’s Manor (a country events venue outside Mecha nicsburg) a nd a booming catering business, deserve recognition for being in the vanguard of the region’s restaurant renaissance.

Now, before you think this a pure puff piece, let me note that from my own experience, and experiences shared with me by others, there have been staff and style changes at Stock’s not always well received. There have been occasions when service and quality didn’t always rise to the highest of standards.

This is not unusual.

One thing I’ve learned during three decades of writing on restaurants, of talking to owners and chatting with chefs, is there are few endeavors more demanding, especially in a smallish market such as ours, than running a consistently good restaurant.

Finding and keeping topflight staff is an ongoing challenge, which means consistency in quality can be a challenge, too.

Having said that, I’m happy report that a recent return v isit to Stock ’s brought back memories of its glory days.

I last reviewed it in 2014 after it underwent major renovations, and changed itself from a sort of traditional upscale spot to a farm-to-fork (with décor to match) gastropub specializing in local fresh fare and far more dining options than offered in its original incarnation.

This means the dinner menu is replete with choices from “pub snacks” to small plates and sides, to full entrees; and includes a wonderful large and separate drinks menu with, as they say, something for everyone, including wide selections of beer and bour-

bon.

A lso, in 2017, Stock ’s added two new chefs, executive chef Arturo Iglesias and sous chef Ozzy Pernalete, both of whom formerly worked together at Char’s Tracy Mansion, which, let’s be honest, has a pretty good kitchen.

The addition of these two pros had been brought to my attention prior to my visit in very positive ways.

Those ways played out nicely during my recent meal.

The atmosphere, lighting and décor at Stock’s, which features lots of wood and rustic rural influence, including in the art work, put me in the mood for meat.

Luckily there was an offmenu (slightly au poivre) filet mignon offered as a special for $32, served with mixed veggies and amazing Dauphinoise potatoes, a wonderful side which, lucky for you, can also be ordered a la carte. My advice? Order them potatoes.

A dining partner stuck with the menu and got bacon-wrapped, smoked mozzarella-stuffed meatloaf (oddly priced at $21.48), served with a bourbon sauce, whipped potatoes and asparagus. It won high praise.

The menu, apart from its odd pricing ($8.29 for a Caesar salad; $13.49 for steamed clams; and so on), is as interesting as it is varied.

Few places offer a range that goes from soft pretzel sticks to black pearl salmon, from chicken wings to cioppino, with lots of options in between.

Notable dishes, in my v i e w, i n c lu d e : c o g n a c shrimp and lobster bisque; the charcuterie plate; pork belly tacos with Asian slaw; Warrington Farms brisket BBQ; and dishes that can be ordered either as small plates or entrees, including lobster mac ’n cheese and lamp chop lollipops with Mediterranean coulis.

As to dessert, Stock ’s is long famous for its peanut butter pie. But among other selections are a cute “twinkie tiramisu” and a bourbon crème brulee.

If you haven’t been to Stock’s, or you haven’t been to Stock’s in a while, I recommend a visit. In fact, because of its diverse menu, it makes for a great first-date place. Or a Valentine’s Day destination.

One thing I’ve learned ... is there are few endeavors more demanding, especially in a smallish market such as ours, than running a consistently good restaurant.

‘They learn the fight song as soon as they learn to talk’ Stephanie Sadowski ssadowski@pennlive.com

If you’re looking for a family of hardcore Eagles fans, look no further than the Wilbourns of Harrisburg.

“I come from a long line of authentic South Phillyraised Eagles Fans,” said Delonne “D-Bo” Wilbourn, a central Pennsylvania musical artist and former Temple University football player.

“In my family when children are born, they leave the hospital in Eagles gear, and they learn the fight song as they learn to talk.”

During games, D-Bo Wilbourn gets together with his family at the “Eagles cave” in the Harrisburg home of his father, Earl.

D-Bo’s band plays Lincoln Financial Field — the Linc — in Philadelphia every year for Temple’s homecoming game. (You can check out their music at

“They all sing the (fight) song with pride,” D-Bo said of his sons, 6-year-old Deuce and 3-year-old Rylen. Hear them sing the song at PennLive.com.

An Eagles Super Bowl win in Minnesota on Sunday against the New England Patriots would be a dream come true — literally.

“Severa l mont hs ago, toward the beginning of the season, I had a dream. And in my dream, the eight men in my family were all huddled around my father’s television in tears because the Eagles had won the Super Bowl,” D-Bo said. “In the dream, we were all wearing black Carson Wentz jerseys.

So for Christmas this year I bought nine Carson Wentz jerseys and gave them to the men in my family.

“I have already set the stage and told everyone to bring their jersey, and we are watching it at my father’s, exactly where I saw us in my dream.”

Harrisburg Eagles fans Delonne “D-Bo” Wilbourn, 34, and his sons Deuce Wilbourn, 6, and Rylen Wilbourn, 3.

Eagles fans tell Steelers fans to ‘come on the bandwagon’ Lisa Wardle lwardle@pennlive.com

There is a small but dedicated group of Philadelphia Eagles fans in the heart of Steelers Country.

They have a Facebook group and regularly meet up to watch games at Cupka’s Cafe II on the South Side, about 3 miles from Heinz Field but more than 300 miles away from the Eagles’ home field.

“We have our little piece of (Philadelphia) here,” said Mike Johnston, who was born and raised in Philadelphia but now lives with his wife in Pittsburgh. He has watched Eagles games at Cupka’s for more than a decade with a group of other fans.

With Pittsburgh’s team out of the Super Bowl, Eagles fans have one message for Steelers fans: “If you’ve bashed us for the past couple years —” started Mike Bothwell.

“— come on the bandwagon this week,” Johnston added.

Fans say they have experienced friendlier feedback this week when wearing Eagles hats or jackets. Steelers fans had enough time to mourn the loss against the Jaguars and many are now hopping on board the Eagles bandwagon, even if it is fueled by their hatred of the Patriots.

“Today I had an Eagles hat on when I was driving around, and twice within 15 minutes — and this has never happ ened before — I got a ‘Hey, go win this game!’” said Phil Mauskapf, who was born in New York but became a fan while growing up in Lancaster.

“My whole office, probably 30 people, are all big Steelers fans. They can’t believe they’re not there (in the Super Bowl),” said Dan Wade. “But they just want to see Tom Brady go down, so they’re all like Eagles fans now.”

Wade said Pittsburghers are usually friendly and

welcoming, but other fans said they have grown used to disapproving looks and jeers when wearing team gear around the city. “ This cit y ha s been known as the City of Champions so it’s like of course they got to throw it in your face,” said Teak Denard, who grew up in Philadelphia. “The pride is there.”

One of the most common reactions is to shut down a conversation by rubbing in the fact the Steelers have six Super Bowl rings and the Eagles have none.

“There is an unrealistic hatred towards Philadelphia from Pittsburgh,” said Mike Bothwell. But he said it feels a one-way rivalry.

“When the Steelers won the Super Bowl, people in Philly were like ‘Cool, the Steelers won. I wish it was us.’”

Eagles fans say it’s their turn to win a Super Bowl.

To help cheer on the team, Wade recruited some new fans. He met his wife the “old-fashioned way” at a Philadelphia bar and convinced her to change her allegiance. “We actually made an agreement. She went to Ohio State, and I said I’d give up Penn State and root for Ohio State if she became an Eagles fan,” he said. “She’s actually closer to the Cleveland area, too, so she had the Browns as an option. I said ‘Well, would you rather see some wins or no wins?’”

The Wades are raising a newborn daughter as an Eagles fan, too.

He said the hardest part of being a fan in Pittsburgh is “not being with family to celebrate those Eagles wins.”

A ll of the fans have favorite aspects of both cities. Philadelphia earned points for its arts and food scene, while Pittsburgh seemed a better place to settle down because it is more affordable. But no matter where they live, they won’t let go of their love for the team.

“Our City, Our Team” is a mural dedicated to the fans the players of the Philadelphia Eagles. It is part of MuralArts Philadelphia and is located at South Darien Street across from Lincoln Financial Field. It was painted in 2015, with Jon Laidacker and Phillip Adams as lead artists.

We fou nd t he p erfect place to take your #GoBirds Super Bowl 2018 photo — if you’re in Philly.

“Our City, Our Team” is a massive mural, the result of a collaboration between the Philadelphia Eagles and Mural Arts Philadelphia. It’s 27,000 square feet, making it the second largest mural in the city and the fifth largest in the country.

The mural is located at the intersection of South Darien Street and Pattison Avenue in Philadelphia and runs the length of the buildings across from Lincoln Financial Field.

It was completed in 2015, but on Jan. 30 lead artists Phillip Adams and Jonathan Laidacker gave

The artists added a panel for the NFC Championship to the mural on Jan. 30.

it a new addition — an NFC Championship title. They also left room for future titles.

“I love this mural because it’s a tribute not just to the Eagles but also to the fans,” said Jane Golden, executive director for Mural Arts Phila-

delphia. “I felt this for a long time: that our work is able to inspire and energize and connect people very much like sports does.”

She remarked on how Philadelphians have come toget her to suppor t t he Eagles in the lead up to Super

Bowl 2018, cheering together regardless of their differences.

“I think we need that in today’s world, which is often defined by boundaries and borders,” she said. “The ability to lift up and shine a light on our diversity but in the context of communality is something that’s important and needed and gives me a lot of hope for our country.”

That focus on community is a theme of the mural itself, which isn’t meant to honor a specific player or legacy.

Instead its focus is on the team, its fans and the city that loves it.

“Our City, Our Team” is one of 4,000 artworks created by Mural Arts Philadelphia, which has been producing public art in Philadelphia for more than 30 years. You can learn more about Mural Arts at muralarts.org.

Ollie: What is the hardest thing about speed skating?

Olive: The ice!

NASAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s GRACE satellite keeps an eye on melting glaciers and their effects on rising sea levels. Glaciers are huge, thick masses of ice. They form when a lot of snow falls in one location over many years. The snow on the bottom gets squished down and turns to ice. Glaciers and ice sheets hold about 68 percent of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fresh water!

What to do: 1. Place apples in an 8-by-8-inch baking dish. Pour syrup over apples and coat evenly.

2. In a medium bowl, mix all dry ingredients together.

3. Combine dry ingredients with melted butter until mixture has a crumbly consistency.

4. Spoon mixture over apples.

5. Bake at 375 degrees for 30 to 35 minutes until topping is golden brown.

6. Serve with low-fat vanilla ice cream. Makes 6 to 8 servings.

PENN STATE WRESTLING

No. 1 Lions face No. 2 Ohio St. without defending NCAA champion Jim Carlson For PennLive

Former Penn State coach Rich Lorenzo has seen more Penn State wrestling matches than current coach Cael Sanderson. The fact that he’s nearly twice Sanderson’s age just might have something to do with that.

The former Penn State All-America wrestler (1968) and Penn State coach (1979-92) was asked to dig into the memory banks and think if any matches in his time could come remotely close to matching the anticipated atmosphere Saturday when No. 2 Ohio State visits the top-ranked Nittany Lions.

He cited a pair —Lehigh at Penn State on March 1, 1967, and Iowa at Penn State on Dec. 3, 1986.

But ... “Those are the two that come to mind, but nothing of this magnitude,” Lorenzo said about Saturday’s epic showdown.

“I don’t think I’ve seen a match where so many national champions and All-Americans will be on the mat at the same time,” Lorenzo said. “And so evenly paired, too -all the way up the lineups.’’

Lorenzo pointed to Saturday’s lineups in which 17 ranked wrestlers will compete (18 if Penn State’s Jason Nolf hadn’t injured his right knee against Rutgers) and 13 wrestlers among the top seven. Matchups include a 6 vs. 11, 1 vs. 7, 1 vs. 14, 2 vs. 3, 1 vs. 10, 1 vs. 6 and a 1 vs. 2 in which each wrestler owns an NCAA gold medal.

If Nolf were wrestling, eight guys would have 10 NCAA titles; as it is, seven will have nine, and one of them is a reigning Olympic champion in his final year of college.

No. 2 Ohio State at No. 1 Penn State When: 8 p.m. Saturday (Big10)

Vinny Curry has provided run support for the Eagles’ No. 1 ranked run defense this season. Associated Press

Here are 5 players you may not have heard of but helped the Eagles make it to Sunday’s big game Former Cumberland Valley star and seven-year NFL veteran Jon Ritchie has joined The Patriot-News sports team for the season.

Ritchie is a midday radio host at 94.1 WIP in Philadelphia.

Jon Ritchie Special to PennLive

I ’m s u re t h i s we ek you’ve seen throngs of Carson Wentz jersey-wearers at the supermarket. Fletcher Cox facsimiles have overrun your office. That isn’t a surprisingly petite Lane Johnson at the drive-thru, because he’s in Minnesota with the full-sized Eagles, many of whom don’t

get the credit they deserve for this unexpectedly dominant season.

This Philadelphia Eagles team wouldn’t be playing in Super Bowl 52 without these under-the-radar performers: Vinny Curry is a name that was bandied about in many of the wrong kinds of conversations prior to this season. When will he be traded? Why did the Eagles pay him so much? Will first-rounder Derek Barnett push him to the sidelines? Well, Curry started at right defensive end all year, and despite a modest three-sack total, he’s been downright dominant at stopping the run.

This guy’s always intense, ready to play and he doesn’t make mistakes. He’s tough, SEE RITCHIE, C5

Eagles are built to overcome Patriots’ mystique Mike Sielski The Philadelphia Inquirer

In the days before the NFC championship game, the play that defined the Eagles’ dominant victory — and their entire season, really — had been a point of emphasis at practice, but it had been a clunky approximation of the thing of beauty that finished off the Minnesota Vikings. Again and again, the Eagles had worked on that flea flicker, Nick Foles handing off to Corey Clement, Clement tossing the ball back to Foles, Foles heaving it deep for Torrey Smith, and something was always off.

“It didn’t look particularly good,” offensive coordinator Frank Reich said.

The poor aesthetic quality of those dress rehearsals, though, did nothing to dissuade coach Doug Pederson from calling the play on the Eagles’ opening drive of the second half. It went for a 41-yard touchdown, the Eagles’ penultimate score in the 38-7 victory.

“I don’t know if I’ve ever run a flea flicker,”

Foles said that night. “It was my first time, so I just tried not to smile. Any time you’re a quarterback and you can have a play like that, it’s pretty exciting.”

Notice what word Foles didn’t use to describe the flea flicker: “surprising. The play’s excellence went beyond Foles’ accurate throw into decent coverage and Smith’s terrific catch. Its true majesty was this: To succeed, it required Foles, the Eagles’ backup quarterback, and Smith, a receiver who at times this season has performed as if he is paid by the drop, to be just about perfect. Pederson knew that, and he called the play anyway, because Pederson has called plays with that combination of confidence and daring all season. It’s who he is. It’s what he does. And it might be the best reason to believe the Eagles can beat the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LII. There’s been a lot of discussion over the last week about the Patriots’ mystique, and SEE MYSTIQUE, C5

NCAA BASKETBALL NO. 5 MICHIGAN STATE 75, PENN STATE 68

PSU can only watch while Spartans control second half Chris Solari Detroit Free Press

EAST LANSING, Mich. — Michigan State looked flat and lifeless for almost 20 minutes. Then, the Spartans assumed an air of toughness at the start of Wednesday’s second half.

Something clicked. MSU found its inner dawg. The Breslin Center channeled all of its frustration and bitterness and sadness of one of the longest months in school history into a snake-pit environment that long has been missing.

And the Spartans fed off that energy.

No. 4 MSU went on a 41-14 run in the second half, displaying an intensity and focus beyond the recent norm, en route to a 76-68 victory.

Miles Bridges had 23 points and nine rebounds, Cassius Winston had 15 points and 10 assists, and Joshua Langford added 14 points for the Spartans (21-3, 9-2 Big Ten).

Tony Carr had 28 points, six rebounds and seven assists, while Lamar Stevens added 18 points for Penn State (15-9, 5-6).

For a little more than a half of basketball, the Nittany Lions outworked MSU in the paint while the Spartans were settling for jump shots.

edge in the first half, then made it 22-10 by the first media timeout of the second half. There were 10 fouls called in the first five minutes of the half, including a technical on MSU’s Nick Ward as he was getting fouled by Stevens, then being on the receiving end of a hard foul by Penn State’s Mike Watkins.

A Shep Garner 3-pointer gave the Nittany Lions their biggest lead, 41-29, with 15:20 to play.

That’s when the Spartans started taking it inside. And that sparked the run.

Kenny Goins’ put-back dunk got things going. Bridges hit two free throws and then a 3-pointer. Then Winston had a pair of buckets driving to the hoop.

And it kept going. And going.

Matt McQuaid’s 3-pointer sparked an 8-0 run that gave MSU the lead for good. The Spartans shot 62.5 percent in the second half and made 5 of 9 from behind the arc, finishing with a 40-29 edge on the glass.

Bridges came out hot, hitting a 3-pointer to open the game and another jumper. Then Matt McQuaid got a hustle rebound and kicked it out for a Winston 3-pointer as MSU hit three of four shots in a little more than 3½ minutes and led 8-7.

But that would be their last lead of the half, as the lid went on the rim. The Spartans went 6 for 20 the rest of the half as the Nittany Lions, with Carr heating up, went on a 21-10 run in which they held MSU without a basket for nearly 6½ minutes.

Carr had 14 points and made 5 of 8 shots by the time there were 8 minutes left in the half. But he struggled the rest of the way.

Bridges fizzled after his quick start, making just 3 of 10 in the half for nine points and five rebounds. However, his two-hand dunk was part of a 6-0 run late in the half that helped MSU cut the halftime deficit to 30-24.

Four takeaways from the loss to Michigan State 1. This one didn’t slip away, it was ripped away by a better team The Nittany Lions can have their bad dreams about half a dozen losses this year that they easily could have won over equal or lesser sides that could have them in solid NCAA tournament contention. This wasn’t one of them. The Spartans are simply a better team and once they stopped committing silly turnovers and got their fast break rolling in the second half, they took the game over. MSU has something PSU does not and it showed up in the second half in abundance — depth.

2. Mike Watkins is a needless magnet for ticky-tack fouls PSU can’t afford to lose its 6-8 power forward because it has no other quality big men. Opposing teams know this and try to attack him. But Watkins could make his life easier simply by playing fundamental defense, getting to spots before opponents; and maintaining verticality when shooters rise. He does neither often enough and picks up too many fouls.

3. Penn State again got static in the half-court with a big lead Considering Watkins’ foul trouble and its inadequate bench, the Lions probably could not have beaten Michigan State even had they maintained their motion and unselfishness. But it would have been interesting to see. Instead, they fell back on the standard tactic of standing around to watch Tony Carr go 1-on-2.

This wasn’t Carr’s fault; he actually did the best he could, but the other Lions must move without the ball and get to open areas more often.

4. The Lions played terrific defense — for 25 minutes If there’s a silver lining to be found, it’s that the Nits really bothered a very good offensive team for about as long as they could.

They just didn’t have the depth to pull it off any longer. Josh Reaves (5 steals) was a particular pest. With 14:30 left in the game, the Spartans trailed 41-30. But from then on, MSU scored a remarkable 46 points in 14 minutes.

WRESTLING FROM C1

world will be watching.

Lorenzo will be watching from his standing-room spot on the track and Sanderson will be matside. But before any of that transpires, Sanderson’s job is to convince his team that it’s just another big match in a long line of big matches.

He appreciates what’s going on, and he’s a big part of why it is. “There’s a lot of interest in college wrestling right now,” Sanderson said. “I think 10 years ago Ohio State-Penn State is a big match, but it’s not like it is today.

“Two of the best teams in the country and multiple national champions on our teams; it’s certainly a positive.

To gain the interest this match has would have to be an Iowa-Iowa State, or Iowa-Oklahoma State or maybe Oklahoma-Oklahoma State back in the day. Wrestling’s getting bigger and it’s growing and it’s fun to be a part of that.’’

Lorenzo also is a big part of the Penn State tradition. He participated - and won -- in that 18-12 win over Lehigh in 1967, and coached the Lions to the 27-15 win over Iowa in the 1986-87 season when Penn State went 18-1-1, had eight All-Americans and still placed third.

Lorenzo wrestled at 177 against Lehigh. “I never heard that much noise in my life,” he said. “There was a JV match at 5:30 and they came out and there were 6,000 people. When we ran out there it just lifted you right off your feet...cheering and all that and people were just going nuts.’’

Football player/wrestler/famous composer/piano player Mike Reid sealed Penn State’s victory with a win at heavyweight and fans stormed the floor and lifted him on their collective shoulders. “I tried to hide some place. I was over there shaking my head because I never experienced anything like that,” Lorenzo said. “It was nice. These kids get it every match with these crowds we have now.’’

Fast forward nearly 51 years to Saturday and imagine how will this epic clash break down? It certainly took on a different dynamic with Nolf’s absence.

The Buckeyes are dominant favorites in the opening two bouts with Nathan Tomasello and Luke Pletcher and at heavyweight with Kyle Snyder, certainly one of the best freestyle wrestlers on this planet. And the Buckeyes are favorites at 157 and 197.

Penn State could be labeled heavy favorites at 149 and

Rutgers wrestler John Van Brill won by injury default over Jason Nolf at 157 pounds during Penn State’s win over Rutgers 25-15 on Sunday. John Munson, NJ Advance Media

165 and slight favorites at 174 and 184, where Bo Nickal and Ohio State’s Myles Martin both boast NCAA titles (Martin’s at Nickal’s expense in 2016). This will be the seventh meeting between the two, and Nickal leads the series 4-2.

That leaves the toss-up at 141 between Penn State freshman Nick Lee and Stanford transfer Joey McKenna as a huge swing match. And in each match in which there’s a heavy favorite, it’s as incumbent upon that wrestler to get as many bonus points as possible.

Sanderson said Carson Kuhn might wrestle at 125. Or he might not. He said Bo Pipher or Luke Gardner are the likely candidates at 157. And he said he has yet to decide whether Shakur Rasheed or Anthony Cassar will face Ohio State’s top-ranked Kollin Moore at 197 pounds.

AND THE WINNER IS

A tough call, for sure, but without Nolf, the task for Penn State became infinitely taller. It looks like a 5-5 split with bonus points going Ohio State’s way, 20-18.

DISTRICT 3 CLASS 2A TEAM WRESTLING CHAMPIONSHIPS

Bubblers, Crusaders to meet for 2A crown Dustin Hockensmith dhockensmith@pennlive.com

The stars aligned, and Bishop McDevitt’s big guns did the rest to lift the second-seeded Crusaders to a 40-31 win over No. 3 Northern Lebanon and into Saturday’s District 3 team wrestling championship final. The Crusaders are looking to repeat as district champions after winning the first title in school history last season.

McDevitt got key wins from Tanner Updegraff, Nate Smith and Dray Donley to avenge a loss to the Vikings in last year’s state semifinals. The Crusaders scored bonus points in seven of their eight wins. They also got an ideal draw at 132 pounds and won the coin flip.

It all added up to an impressive win for the surging Crusaders, who will now face No. 4 seed Boiling Springs in an all-Mid Penn district final.

McDevitt avenged another loss to No. 7 Camp Hill with a 49-22 win its tournament opener to set up the heavyweight fight with Northern Lebanon, which beat McDevitt on criteria in last year’s PIAA semifinals.

“The boys were just ready to wrestle tonight,” McDevitt coach Dean Shields said. “They looked good in both matches. I couldn’t be happier. It means a lot to our program to get to where we are, and hopefully, we can sustain it.”

The Crusaders built a 25-0 lead on pins by Jack Cunningham and Elisha Cooksey, tech falls by Bodee Tolbert and Tyler Martin and a key 5-2 win for Updegraff in a swing match with Stevie Herb at 152 pounds.

The starting weight and coin toss set in motion a big shot of momentum early in the match. The Crusaders’ student section came alive, and Northern Lebanon saw whatever margin for error it had start to slip away.

“They started at the perfect weight,” Northern Lebanon coach Rusty Wallace Jr.

said. “As soon as they won the flip, they were able to bump up and get all the matchups they wanted. In the end, I don’t know if it was going to matter. We didn’t lose because of the flip.”

Updegraff scored takedowns in the first and third period at 152 pounds to knock off Herb in a match that kept the momentum going. That matchup of two of the district’s top wrestlers went the Crusaders’ way and robbed the Vikings of a chance to stop the bleeding early.

“I just felt good out there,” Updegraff said. “It was really fun out there. The crowd got into it — I don’t think we’ve ever had a student section here that big — and it was just great. The fans were into it. The coaches were into it. It was awesome.”

BUBBLERS REACH DISTRICT FINAL

The fourth-seeded Boiling Springs held off No. 5 Hamburg, 41-25, and beat No. 1 seed Upper Dauphin, 45-20, in the quarterfinals and semifinals at Upper Dauphin High School Wednesday night.

It was the same scene, but very different circumstances for Rod Wright’s team.

The Bubblers limped to Elizabethville last season and lost to Bishop McDevitt in their opener to see their tournament end after just one match.

“Last year wasn’t a good bus ride home, without a doubt,” Boiling Springs coach Rod Wright said by phone. “It’s a lot different this year. It’s kind of ironic we’re wrestling Saturday against the team that beat us and knocked us out of the tournament last year. We’re definitely ready and hungry and glad we’re back at Milton Hershey.

Boiling Springs went on a tear to turn a 20-15 deficit to Upper Dauphin into a 45-20 win. Jack Coulston, Lucas Shoop and Kollin Myers won three straight, and Kaiden Karper sealed the win at 152 with a major decision.

Through the many matches in the Central Dauphin and Cumberland Valley rivalry, Thursday night’s dual in the District 3 Class 3A team championship quarterfinals had all the ingredients to rank among the best of them.

And it’s something CV sophomore Hunter Arbogast won’t soon forget Highlighting a night where seven bouts came down to late points at crucial times, it was Arbogast who delivered with the match in the balance, beating Mitchell Arch by a 5-3 decision in overtime to lift his team to a 32-30 win.

With the win, the Eagles punched their ticket to the District 3 semifinals, where a date with No. 2 seed Spring Grove awaits. No. 11 Cumberland Valley beat No. 6 Chambersburg to set up the quarterfinal matchup with third-seeded Central Dauphin in a pod dominated by Mid-Penn Commonwealth rivals.

CV coach Dave Heckard thought his team was in trouble late when CD turned the tide at 182 pounds with a run of four straight bonus-point wins that got the home crowd on its feet. The Rams held the line by not allowing bonus points to Ruston Dzielak or Ben Monn at 106 and 113, setting up the showdown between Arbogast and Arch.

The last time Arch and Arbogast met in the regular season, Arch caught him in a headlock and pinned him. It nearly happened in the first period in this one, but Arbogast fought out of it and kept pressing, using the lessons he learned to keep Arch at bay. His strategy to snap and work Arch’s head paid off in the end.

Arbogast took control in the third period and overtime.

“Going into the end, I thought we were in trouble,” Heckard said. “Hunter wrestled him last time and he battled him, then got caught and pinned. I thought, ‘You know what, I’ve got some confidence there that maybe he can build on that and this kid can turn that around.’

And he did. That was huge. Wow.” Arbogast spun around Arch for the m a t ch -w i n n i n g t a ke dow n m idw ay through the tiebreaker period.

“I was motivated to win because we were down and we needed it,” Arbogast said. “[The pressure] was a little bit heavy, but I got through it. It felt good to win.”

A series of wild matchups saw the Eagles surge to an early 23-6 lead. CV’s Mason Viehman turned a 2-2 match with Bryce Buckman in the third period into a pin. Matthew Barrick scored the winning takedown with eight seconds left in a 3-1 decision over Timothy Smith. Jake Lucas finished a 16-1 tech fall at the buzzer.

The Rams conceded too many points in those early matches, according to Central Dauphin coach Jeff Sweigard, but CD swung momentum back in their favor in the upper weights, capped by a pin by Mitchell Talbott at 220 and a 15-4 major by Carter Urich that came at the buzzer.

Sweigard liked his team’s position going into the final bouts at 120 and 126, especially after Josh Miller endured a beating to limit Dzielak to a 7-0 decision and Tye Weathersby kept Monn’s offense in check in a 3-0 decision.

“When Carter Urich left the mat at 285, I thought we were sitting pretty good knowing we had Chris and Mitchell at the end,” Sweigard said. “I know their first two guys are tough, but my kids are

mentally pretty tough and they can withstand the physical pounding, and they did.”

The histor y of the schools’ riva lr y showed again in the end. Heckard had a little extra juice as he celebrated Arbogast’s big win, and Sweigard stood at the end of the mat with a stare toward the opposing bench.

“They don’t like us, and the feeling is mutual from our standpoint,” Sweigard said. “We don’t like them. They don’t like us. That’s the bottom line. It’s not even just wrestling. It’s the schools. The wins are sweeter when you beat Cumberland Valley, and the losses are tougher, especially with the history we have with them.”

The Rams drop down to the consolation bracket, where they are set to take on No. 10 seed Gettysburg tonight at Spring Grove High School.

CD will have to win twice more to reach the consolation finals and advance to the state tournament.

CEDAR CLIFF REACHES SEMIFINALS

The No. 4 seeded Colts dispatched of No. 13 Exeter Township in the first round 45-24 before holding on for a 28-27 victory in the second round over No. 5 New Oxford to reach the semifinals of the District 3 Class 3A team championships.

Donovon Ball scored a decisive technical fall in the second-to-last bout of the night against New Oxford’s Jaskanny Lua to give the Colts a 28-21 lead and a guaranteed victory.

Cedar Cliff forfeited to Derrick Rudisill in the 195-pound finale. Aiden Lewis, Christian Prestil and Michael Cassidy also scored bonus points for Cedar Cliff, which caught a tough break at 160 pounds when Isaiah Auman injury defaulted.

The win was the 800th in the history of the program, first reported by The Sentinel in Carlisle.

Cedar Cliff will wrestle No. 9 seed Dallastown, a 31-30 winner over top-seeded Manheim Central, in the semifinal round Thursday night at Spring Grove High School.

Wyant and Spahr provide just some of the fun at Trinity this season Steve Navaroli For PennLive

One look at the Trinity swim team and it’s easy to tell how well the group gets along. Tuesday’s home meet against James Buchanan at Messiah College was more of the same for the Shamrocks.

No matter who was in the water, or what place they were in, the teammates roared their approval at the swims.

There were plenty of good performances to cheer about in Trinity’s dual meet sweep of the Rockets.

“It’s really special. Our whole team has gotten so close this year. Everyone is so supportive of each other,” said senior Sarah Wyant.

Of course, the La Salle University-bound Wyant has been one of the Mid Penn’s best sprinters during her entire high school career. The reigning conference champion in the 50-yard freestyle was at it again Tuesday, winning the 200 and 100 freestyle races individually, plus was on the victorious 200 medley and 200 free relays.

“My motivation is looking forward to Mid Penn, districts and states,” she said after the Shamrock girls won, 117-51. “My college coach is going to be there and I want to prove to him that I can keep dropping time. So I am really excited for that.”

Wyant said that she plans to swim the 50 and 100 free at next week’s Mid Penn championships, with the hopes of getting good

“I might seem laid back on the outside, but honestly I am so nervous on the inside going into any race,” she said. “It’s always one step at a time and try to improve myself.”

On the boys’ team, which topped James Buchanan 110-49, Riley Spahr stood out for the Shamrocks. Not for winning races, but for showing the ability to be a very good swimmer, while being one of the league’s best divers.

Spahr placed second in both of his races on Tuesday — to teammates Rece Shelly in the 100 butterfly and to Rockets’ Austin Sheppard in the 100 backstroke.

Spahr was on Trinity’s winning 200 and 400 free relay teams. In fact, when he jumped off the block as the No. 2 swimmer

on the 200, he hit the water with a grace seldom seen.

“It’s the pointed toes,” he laughed.

It makes sense. After all, he is a diver and a good one. A swimmer since he was 5 years old, Spahr recalled what made him want to do both.

“I started diving in ninth grade. I used to practice swimming and would look over into the diving well and think, ‘wow, that’s really cool.’ I want to try that when I get to high school,” he said. “I signed up and I fell in love. It’s a lot of fun.”

“He’s insane,” Wyant says. “I don’t know how he does it. It’s really amazing to watch him do both.”

One thing that helped was having Bradley Buchter, a four-time PIAA champion and perhaps the best diver to ever compete in the state, as a teammate for two seasons. Now Spahr has goals of his own.

“I learned a lot from Bradley. He was a

great mentor,” Spahr said. “Hopefully I can do pretty well at districts and states this year. I didn’t do as well as I wanted to last year, but I am hoping to improve that.”

The best part for Trinity coach Megan Greiner is there are several athletes on her team, both talented and terrific in their own right. Wyant and Spahr are just two, but they are noteworthy.

“They are awesome kids,” Greiner said.

“They are great all-around — athletes and students.”

DISTRICT 3 GIRLS’ HOOPS POWER RATINGS

HARRISBURG 77, CD EAST 49

Here is a look at the District 3 girls basketball power ratings, used to determine seeds in the upcoming District 3 tournament.

A team’s power rating is a combination of its weighted winning percentage (55-percent) and the weighted win percentage (45-percent) of its opponents. Only regular season games against PIAA opponents through Feb. 9 count toward a team’s rating. Records are as reported to District 3 through Tuesday.

District 3 will have 12 teams compete in Class 6A, 16 in 5A, 10 in 4A, 6 in 3A, 4 in 2A, and 10 in 1A.

Harrisburg set its sights on building much-needed steam during these final days of the boys’ basketball regular season. And its performance against rival CD East was another chance to measure the Cougars’ volume.

Na’Reece Glenn hit five 3-pointers and led four Cougars in double figures as Harrisburg broke down CD East 77-49 in Commonwealth Division action at Kimber Gymnasium.

Glenn ended with a game-high 21 points, while teammates Tony James (14 points), Tyheir Butler (13) and Ky’aire Sumpter (10) all played key roles in Harrisburg’s fifth consecutive win.

In fact, Butler’s spark in the second period shifted a relatively close game as the Cougars (15-6, 10-3) twisted a 24-10 surge into a 38-20 halftime advantage.

Amir Jackson scores a team-high 14 points for CD East.

MID-PENN BOYS’ BASKETBALL CAMP HILL 89, SUSQUEHANNA TWP. 74

Lions boost district playoff hopes in victory Timothy Johnson Special to PennLive

For head coach Scott Barrows and his rapidly improving Camp Hill squad, the offense starts with defense.

Behind a plethora of steals that yielded double-figure scoring from Alex Landis (20 points), Jon Fagan (18 points), Jake Perry (17 points) and Connor Trumpy (13 points), Camp Hill built a 28-point lead in the third quarter then held on down the stretch, beating 4A foe Susquehanna Township 89-74.

Royce Urena scored 10 of his 27 points in the fourth to give the Tribe a puncher’s

chance, but they could get no closer than 11 as Camp Hill slowed it down, got boards and closed out the victory. Township still sits on the inside looking out in the 4A playoff picture, as they entered Wednesday as the seventh-ranked team with 10 possible qualifiers.

Capitalizing on an increasingly careless Township side in the last few minutes of the second quarter, the Lions started to roll. Steal after steal yielded some easy buckets, and when the confidence grew, the tough ones fell as well. With confidence building, Landis made a 3-pointer, Perry got a steal on the inbounds pass and dished behind the back to

Landis for another layup seconds later.

Camp Hill ultimately went 13-17 in the second quarter and finished the half on a 19-1 run to lead 50-28 at the break.

“Once one of us gets in the flow, we all gain energy off of that,” Fagan said. “It’s probably the biggest thing that feeds our team, and that’s probably the biggest factor that helped us win this game.”

After intermission, the trend continued.

The Lions’ shooting percentage was nearly as good at 11-16, and the Lions’ lead grew as large as 70-42 before the Tribe started to chip away.

Cougars in sole possession of first place in division Aaron Carr acarr@pennlive.com

HARRISBURG — Harrisburg’s game against CD East was “just another Mid-Penn Commonwealth battle” according to head coach Dwan Lee. It wasn’t pretty, it wasn’t flashy but the Lady Cougars will take it.

Harrisburg’s defense came through, particularly in the second half, as the visitors knocked off CD East, 57-43.

“We always preach to the girls that we need to defend and our defense came through for us today,” Lee said. “We always want to hold teams to between 40-45 points and tonight we held them to 43.”

After Wednesday night’s loss by Mifflin County to Central Dauphin, the Cougars now have the inside track to represent the Commonwealth division in the four-team MidPenn championship tournament.

“We just want to take it one game at a time and keep going. If we get into that Mid-Penn playoff that’s great for us,” Lee said. “We’ll prepare for that and keep rolling. We’re just going to continue to do what we do and that’s play defense, play together, play hard and pull out victories.”

Harrisburg closes out league play with Friday’s game against Chambersburg (6-13, 1-11 league) while Mifflin County draws CD East (10-9, 7-5 league) in its league finale on Friday.

Harrisburg’s Ahmya Woodyard scored a game-high 20 points while Dajahnae Brannon a and Alayah Cowan each scored 12 points.

Tiara Little and Auni Green paced CD East with 14 and 11 points, respectively.

Strong second quarter paces Rams past Huskies John Hilton For PennLive

Mifflin County was looking to keep pace with Harrisburg at the top of the Mid-Penn Commonwealth Division standings heading into Wednesday night’s game with Central Dauphin.

The Rams apparently had other ideas.

Central Dauphin used a dominating second quarter, highlighted by an 18-3 run to finish the half, to pull away from the visiting Huskies for a 58-38 victory.

After an opening hoop by the Huskies’ Rylie Rittenhouse in the second period, the Lady Rams gave up just three free throws the remainder of the quarter. At the other end, the CD offense kicked into high gear. Led by Jamie Brann (8 points) and point guard Sam Gress (5 points), the Lady Rams took a 28-11 into the

locker room at halftime.

“We’re playing very good defense right now,” said Rams’ coach Randy Gambelunghe said.

On the other bench, Mifflin County head coach Roger Herto was exhorting his players to go at it “one play at a time,” and the visitors started the third quarter with a burst of energy to cut the deficit to 30-18 on a pair of field goals

by Molly Wagoner. But after a timeout, the Lady Rams restored their lead and made it a 40-21 game entering the fourth quarter.

Mifflin County would get no closer than 13 in the final eight minutes.

Road to Super Bowl LII SUPER BOWL NOTEBOOK

4 STATS TO KNOW

Brady tapes hand during practice Daniel Gallen dgallen@pennlive.com

BLOOMINGTON, Minn. — New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady wore a piece of black tape on his right hand for the team’s padded practice session Wednesday, according to a pool report.

Brady’s thumb and hand have been the center of intrigue ever since he hurt it and got 12 stitches before the Patriots faced the Jacksonville Jaguars in the AFC Championship Game. Brady was a full participant in practice, according to the report.

The practices for the Patriots and Philadelphia Eagles are closed to media this week ahead of Super Bowl LII, but the Pro Football Writers of America has a pool reporter assigned to each team who will supply reports to credentialed media. The Patriots are practicing at the Minnesota Vikings facility, while the Eagles are practicing at the University of Minnesota’s football facility.

Brady has worn gloves for each of his public appearances. On Tuesday, Brady said the Under Armour glove on his right hand “has a lot of recovery in it.”

According to the pool report, Wednesday’s practice will be the Patriots’ only padded session of the week, and it followed the normal script of a Patriots practice.

“We’re getting there,” coach Bill Belichick said. “Every year is a little bit different because we’re a little bit different and the team we play is a little bit different. But I think we’re doing the best we can.”

DT JERNIGAN MISSES PRACTICE

Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Tim Jernigan on Wednesday missed the first practice of Super Bowl week with an illness, but every other player on the roster was on the field as the team continued preparation to play the Patriots on Sunday.

Jernigan also sat out of a workout last week in Philadelphia because he was sick, but the starting defensive tackle attended media events Monday and Tuesday and didn’t show signs of sluggishness.

For most of the season, Jernigan has turned in steady play next to second-team all-pro defensive tackle Fletcher Cox, but the Eagles are well equipped to replace him if he’s limited on Super Bowl Sunday. Reserve Beau Allen, a Minnesota native, has the experience and talent to step into a starting role, while Destiny Vaeao can fill out the defensive tackle rotation.

RB Jay Ajayi (ankle), DT Fletcher Cox (calf) and LB Dannell Ellerbe (hamstring) were all limited Wednesday.

RITCHIE FROM C1

strong, smart and always sets the edge for this defense. Curry’s a major ingredient in the Eagles defensive recipe that tasted the best in the NFL against the run in 2017.

Brandon Brooks has quietly dominated all season. The Eagles right guard is gigantic at 350 pounds, yet sprightly enough to pull and lead at the point of attack or spring to the perimeter and bounce and trounce defenders on screens.

Brooks pulverized defensive tackles consistently on combo blocks and always keeps his feet moving in the run game. He moves people.

He’s been a powerful puncher in pass protection and allowed only one sack all year. Brooks’ brutish dependability earned him his first Pro Bowl nod in 2017. I’m certain the player voting had everything to do with that. The defenders he mashed tipped their hats.

Nelson Agholor was all but dismissed as a first-round bust prior to training camp this summer. In his previous two seasons, he’d

1) The Patriots allowed 4.7 yards per rush in the regular season, second-most in the NFL New England often played this season with large leads, which bloated this number a bit. Still, holes in the Patriots’ run defense emerged throughout the season and all three of the teams that beat them this year racked up at least 120 rushing yards.

Why it matters for Sunday The Eagles gained 4.5 yards per carry this season, the fourth-best mark in the NFL, and they have three different running backs with the potential to find success on the ground. If Philly can establish a run game, it’ll make life easier for QB Nick Foles and could keep Patriots all-pro signal-caller Tom Brady off the field. This is one factor of the game in which the Eagles seem to have an edge, thanks to their productive offensive line; they just have to exploit the Pats’ weakness.

2) The Eagles have converted 16 of 27 third downs in the postseason Foles struggled on third downs late in the season, but he and the Eagles have risen to the occasion in crucial moments during the playoffs. In the NFC Championship Game against the Vikings’ top-ranked defense, Philadelphia converted 10 of 14 fourth downs, many of which came on strong throws from Foles.

After the Philadelphia Eagles play the New England Patriots on Sunday with hopes of winning their first Super Bowl, coach Doug Pederson might have an option to increase his power inside the NovaCare Complex. But he shrugged when considering that possibility and said he’d rather not have more of a say in personnel.

“Right now,” Pederson said, “I kind of like the way it’s going.”

The way things have worked since Pederson accepted the job in 2016 is relatively straightforward. Executive vice president of football operations Howie Roseman makes final decisions when it comes to the roster (with scouting head Joe Douglas serving as his No. 2 for the past 20 months) and Pederson coaches the players Roseman puts on his field.

There is collaboration. Pederson said he and Roseman work together on big decisions and keep each other abreast of all situations.

In the end, though, the roles are separate and well defined.

Pederson said he understands the give and take that comes with the Eagles’ front office dynamic. He explained he’s comfortable with Roseman, who rebuilt the Birds with his own blueprint over the past two years and earned Executive of the Year honors from the Pro Football Writers of America.

“Our communication is extremely good,” Pederson said. “If [Roseman] has something, he comes right down to my office.”

It’s a formula that vaulted the Eagles into the Super Bowl — and one Pederson seems content sustaining.

caught only three touchdown passes and his case of the dropsies in late 2016 prompted Doug Pederson to sit him for a game to “get his head right”. I was not a fan. But every day I visited Eagles camp in August, I was floored

by Agholor’s speed and route-running. He’d moved to the slot receiver spot and was getting open, wide open, on every down. And he was effortlessly plucking the ball from the air, making every grab, including the acrobatic ones. He passed my “eye-test” and he’s made a major leap in production this season with eight touchdown catches. He’s been reliable, with catches in every game this year. Alshon Jeffery and Zach Ertz get most of the fan attention, but Nelson Agholor has been a difference maker for this team.

Chris Long played only 31 snaps against the Vikings in the NFC Championship game, but he dominated on every last one. A rotational defensive end in the Eagles 8-deep defensive-line, Long flat-out looked like the best player on the field last Sunday. He’s only posted five sacks on the season, but his relentless play sets the tone for this nasty defense. He’s savvy

and crafty, with great hand placement and strength. The guy never quits and he’s sure to impart a ton of postseason wisdom upon his less-experienced teammates during Super Bowl prep. The Eagles have benefitted from Long’s leadership and impeccable character, hand-over-fist. Oh, and he played for free this season, donating his entire salary to educational equality charities.

Halapoulivaati Vaitai has outperformed all expectations. When future-Hall-of-Fame left tackle Jason Peters tore his ACL at the end of October, many believed the Eagles season was lost. But Vaitai has improved every week into a solid and dependable stalwart at one of the toughest positions on the field. Last week’s NFC Championship performance was Big V’s masterpiece, as he held Vikings AllPro defensive end Everson Griffen to no sacks and just two tackles. Yes, the Eagles’ play design helped Vaitai at times, but I watched many snaps where the young tackle held his own against a player significantly more talented than any pass rusher on the Patriots roster.

As for the Patriots, four players landed on the injury report as limited in Wednesday’s practice.

CB Malcolm Butler (illness), TE Rob Gronkowski (concussion), DB Brandon King (knee) and DL Deatrich Wise (concussion) all missed the session.

Butler and Gronkowski are key starters for the defending champs, so it’s worth monitoring their statuses over the next couple of days.

Butler met with media Wednesday and said he was feeling better after grappling with flulike symptoms, and Gronkowski’s presence on the practice field indicates he’s in the final stages of the NFL’s concussion protocol.

PEDERSON SAYS NO TO FRONT OFFICE

Why it matters for Sunday The Eagles’ success sustaining drives against Minnesota was somewhat shocking, and if they can duplicate it against New England, they’d be able to control the tempo of the game and give Brady fewer chances to pile up points.

3) The Patriots gained 50 first downs off penalties this season to opponents’ 23 Conspiracy theories aside, the Patriots know how to draw flags. McLeod said Brady will often underthrow receivers intentionally, causing defensive backs to crash into offensive players and pick up pass interference calls. And on defense, a well-coached New England team has been able to avoid drive-extending gaffes.

Why it matters for Sunday The Eagles committed the fifth-most penalties in the regular season (124) and both of their starting outside cornerbacks have been guilty of costly missteps at times this year. The Patriots seize on weaknesses, so if they sense an opportunity to draw a few flags and pick up first downs against the Birds, they’re going to do it.

4) Six Eagles offensive players have at least 50 yards from scrimmage in the postseason Jay Ajayi’s led the way as a workhorse runner and productive receiver, while tight end Zach Ertz and wide receiver Alshon Jeffery have made significant contributions in the passing game during two playoff wins. Running back Corey Clement and wide receivers Nelson Agholor and Torrey Smith have also topped the 50-yard mark.

Why it matters for Sunday The Patriots’ knack for shutting down the best opposing offensive player is well respected across the NFL, but the Eagles’ balance could make things tough on New England. There’s no one star or aspect of the offense that dominants for Philadelphia -- and that dynamic could help them against the defending champs.

Eagles OT Lane Johnson on beer

MYSTIQUE FROM C1

there is no doubt that they possess it. They have won five of the last 16 Super Bowls.

They have Tom Brady and Bill Belichick, and any superlatives used to describe those two often don’t seem superlative enough. They win games that it seems they ought not to be able to win, such as last year’s Super Bowl, against the Atlanta Falcons, last week’s AFC championship game, against the Jacksonville Jaguars. But the question of whether and how that mystique has manifested itself and might manifest itself in this game is what matters.

Here’s how it probably won’t manifest itself: with the Eagles’ overwhelmed by the moment, committing a succession of errors in a Patriots blowout. For one thing, the Eagles haven’t been that sort of team all season, and even amid the hype and pressure of the Super Bowl, it’s difficult to think they’ll morph into that kind of team now. For another, that scenario has never played out in any of the Patriots’ seven Super Bowl appearances during the Brady-Belichick era. All of those games have been close, decided by six points or fewer.

No, here’s what the Patriots’ mystique does and can do: It can force a team to act or react to particular situations differently from how it would against any other opponent. Consider again those two recent comeback victories by the Patriots. Last year’s Falcons reached the Super Bowl and built a 28-3 lead in it because of a Wallenda-style offense: Matt Ryan in an MVP season, great talent at wide receiver and running back, Kyle Shanahan calling brilliantly designed and deployed plays, everything high-flying. But leading 28-9 in the third quarter, the Falcons were conservative on back-toback possessions. On the first, they called two

short passes and a run and went three-andout. On the second, after a Patriots field goal had made the score 28-12, the Falcons went run-run-pass, a predictable sequence, and Ryan fumbled when he was sacked by Dont’a Hightower. The Patriots recovered, got a TD and a 2-point conversion to cut the Falcons’ lead to eight, and by the end, New England’s 34-28 OT win had the feel of a formality.

Now, that 24-20 victory over Jacksonville.

The Jaguars led, 14-10, with 55 seconds left in the first half when they took possession at their 25-yard line. Though he still had two timeouts, though New England’s defense was ranked 29th in the NFL this season, Jacksonville coach Doug Marrone had quarterback Blake Bortles take a knee twice to run out the clock. Against another opponent, perhaps Jacksonville could have afforded to play it so safe. Given the Jaguars’ strong defense and Bortles’ untrustworthiness as a quarterback, safe was Jacksonville’s default approach all season, and it usually worked.

Against the Patriots, though, safe is death, and look what that truth led to: Of Jacksonville’s 32 offensive plays in the second half before the Patriots retook the lead, 17 were passes and 15 were runs. You can imagine the thought bubble above Belichick’s head: “After an entire season of trying to minimize Blake Bortles’ influence, you think you’re going to hold us off by relying that much on him? Good luck to you. The Jaguars could no longer play the way they wanted or were accustomed to.

Which brings us to the Eagles’ advantage: They’ve played with the pedal to the metal all season. Remember: The Eagles went for it on fourth down 26 times during the regular season and got a first down 17 times. No team converted on fourth down more often, and only the Green Bay Packers went for it more often (28 times). The Eagles’ conversion percentage, 65.4,

Reporter: You promised the whole city a beer, have you considered what kind of beer?

Reporter: Has there ever been a movie that made you cry?

Graham: “Pursuit of Happiness.” At the end when Will Smith was clapping like this and he finally got that job after all the stuff he’s been through, it’s similar to what, it’s similar to the story for me. Just keep working, just keep working. People not going to give you a head done but just keep working and I’ve been taking that approach for a long time and it’s been paying off.”

was also the third-best mark in the league, a remarkable figure given the frequency of their attempts.

That philosophy drives their offense. It’s part of their collective DNA. It’s why their head coach called a flea flicker with a backup quarterback who had never run one before, with a receiver with unreliable hands, against the NFL’s best defense in the most important game of the year.

“Our guys didn’t go out there and play with fear,” Foles said. “We wanted to play aggressively.”

It’s the way they’ll have to play this Sunday. It’s the way they can win.

Gronkowski still in concussion protocol at Patriots practice EDEN PRARIE, Minn. — As expected, Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski remained in the concussion protocol Wednesday for New England’s first practice in Minnesota. Patriots coach Bill Belichick said Gronkowski took part in non-contact drills and is “working his way back.” The Patriots worked out for two hours in their only full-padded practice of the week leading up to Sunday’s matchup with the Eagles. Gronkowski has been in the league’s concussion protocol after taking a hit in the AFC Championship Game. He said he would leave his game status up to team doctors.

Crisco out, new secret weapon in to stop pole-climbing Eagles fans PHILADELPHIA — Philadelphia police think they’ve found something better than Crisco to keep Philadelphia fans from climbing light poles if the Eagles win the Super Bowl. But they are keeping their playbook secret. A contingent of workers who jokingly called themselves the “Crisco Cops” applied shortening to light poles before the NFC Championship, but it failed to stop some fans after the Eagles victory. Asked Tuesday whether police have found something slicker, Commissioner Richard Ross said, “We think so.” He promised that whatever police do, “it will be safe ... but it will be effective.” He said climbing poles this Sunday “will be far more difficult” than when they used a vegetable oil product, which weather can affect. Ross says police are working to assure the safety of fans “as well as the people who they could fall down on.”

Divisional/title game (under)dog attire gives way to wrestling headgear for All-Pro defensive tackle Matt Lombardo NJ Advance Media

BLOOMINGTON, Minn. — Dog masks are so NFC Divisional Playoffs.

For the Super Bowl, Eagles All-Pro defensive tackle Fletcher Cox showed up to the second day of player media availability wearing a Kelly green Eagles rubber Mexican wrestling mask.

And he wore it for the entire hour he was being interviewed.

“As long as I don’t start sweating, I’m going to keep it on.” Cox said of the mask.

While the Patriots have it down to a science how to handle Super Bowl week, given that this is Bill Belichick, Tom Brady and New England’s eighth Super Bowl appearance, the Eagles are taking a far less buttoned up approach to the week, as illustrated

by Cox’s new headgear.

“I think if you come in here all uptight, you come in here and it’s just really not good.

We talked to guys that have been around and been to Super Bowls before. They said that you can’t go into this whole thing uptight.

You still have to have fun.

“I just want to be professional about it at the same time. We have practice later today, and that’s really important.”

For background, some of the Eagles and many of their fans took to wearing dog masks for the Divisional Round and confer-

ence championship games against the Falcons and Vikings because the Eagles, though they were top seeded and playing at home, were underdogs.

While Cox and the Eagles took the practice field for the first time on Wednesday, head coach Doug Pederson has tried to maintain consistency in terms of the team’s schedule since arriving in Minnesota on Sunday.

Fortunately for Pederson and the Eagles, the team can draw on the experience of a December week-long road trip in Los Angeles ahead of a Week 14 NFC East Division championship-clinching victory over the Rams.

“We talked back then that this (West Coast trip) was sort of a precursor for hopefully this opportunity and kind of going through it a little bit with the team hotel, the meetings, the travel to a practice site, the media obligations, and things like that,” Pederson said recently.

“Now having been through it makes it a little bit easier going up to Minneapolis,” he said. “It’s just on a grander, bigger stage obviously, so the attention will be a lot more.

There will be a lot more distractions, a lot more pulling on coaches, on players, personnel. Having gone through it in L.A. really has kind of given us a leg up now going up there in a week.”

BEST OF THE REST

Eagles legend Papale: Underdog Birds, Pederson are ‘Invincible’ BLOOMINGTON, Minn — The Eagles have embraced their roles as underdogs during their postseason run, wearing dog masks and rubbing each victory in the face of those who doubted them.

Wednesday on Radio Row at Super Bowl LII, one of the top underdogs in Eagles’ history said he is very confident the team is getting ready to pull off another upset.

“The Eagles have them right where they want (the New England Patriots) to be — the favorite ones,” former Eagles player Vince Papale said. “The great line from ‘The Replacements’ is ‘When you have nothing to lose, you are dangerous.’ Last week they showed they are really dangerous.”

Papale became a household name in Philadelphia when he took a tryout with the Eagles and went from a high-school teacher to a member of the team. The 2006 movie

“Invincible” was based on Papale’s journey.

The Eagles’ legend is now very close with head coach Doug Pederson, and says he has noticed a big change in his friend this year.

“I think the biggest thing I see is, the way he handles the press. He is not looking at the press as an adversary, he is looking at the press as an asset,” Papale said. “In the beginning there was all kinds of talk about (defensive coach) Jim Schwartz, all this swagger — he didn’t let him bother him.

He is comfortable and knows who he is. He believes in what he is. But the most important thing is, he has the trust of the players.”

The Eagles enter Sunday’s Super Bowl against the Patriots as 4½ point underdogs, the third game in a row where they will kick the ball off not expected to win the game.

Papale, however, is confident that there will be another storybook ending. “They are going to shock the world,” Papale said, “and make the impossible possible.”

76ers lose third straight game

Fox gets Thursday night games

Associated Press

NEW YORK — Spencer Dinwiddie scored 27 points, D’Angelo Russell added 22 in his best performance since returning from knee surgery, and the Brooklyn Nets snapped a four-game skid with a 116-108 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday night.

Joel Embiid had 29 points and 14 rebounds for the 76ers, who dropped their third straight and fell back to .500 at 24-24. Ben Simmons scored 24 and J.J. Redick had 20 in his return from a seven-game absence with a leg injury.

Simmons was 9 of 10 for 18 points in his first 14 minutes but the Sixers couldn’t build much of a lead in part because of Russell, who recently returned from a two-month absence and felt good enough to play on both nights of a back-to-back.

BOSTON — Terry Rozier filled in nicely for Kyrie Irving, logging his first career triple-double in his first NBA start and leading the Boston Celtics to a 103-73 win over the New York Knicks.

BLOOMINGTON, Minn. — Fox and the NFL have agreed to a five-year deal for Thursday night football games.

Those games previously were televised

by CBS and NBC, two of the league’s other network partners. But Fox announced Wednesday that it will televise 11 games between Weeks 4 and 15, with simulcasts on NFL Network and Fox Deportes.

Fox, which has the Sunday afternoon NFC package, will produce all of the games.

“This is a single partner deal, we are not splitting the package,” NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said. “We had tremendous amount of interest from all the broadcast partners, all of whom wanted it exclusively.

We felt this was the best opportunity for the NFL to grow the Thursday night package.”

Goodell added the league is exploring partnerships with digital outlets, also in conjunction with Fox. The NFL has broadcast deals “five years out” with its other partners — ESPN has the Monday night package — so five years on this agreement made sense.

CBS and NBC each paid $450 million for the previous two-year package.

Ex-NBA player Rasual Butler, wife die in Los Angeles crash LOS ANGELES — Former NBA forward Rasual Butler and his wife were killed in a single-vehicle rollover crash in Los Angeles early Wednesday.

The Range Rover crashed around 2:30 a.m. in the Studio City area and left a swath of damage along a major thoroughfare.

Los Angeles police said in a statement that Butler was speeding before his vehicle jumped a curb, hit three parking meters and a concrete wall and then flipped over twice.

The vehicle came to rest inside a shopping mall parking lot.

Butler, 38, and Leah LaBelle Vladowski, 31, were pronounced dead at the scene, said Ed Winter, assistant chief investigator with the Los Angeles County coroner’s office.

Autopsies were pending.

Butler was drafted in 2002 by the Miami Heat and played for a total of eight NBA

teams including the Los Angeles Clippers, Chicago Bulls and San Antonio Spurs.

Pistons’ Blake Griffin says he wants to be where he’s wanted AUBURN HILLS, Mich. — Blake Griffin admits he was shocked by the trade that sent him from the Los Angeles Clippers to Detroit. The star forward says he wants to be with a team that wants him.

Griffin, Brice Johnson and Willie Reed were introduced Wednesday by the Pistons, who acquired the trio earlier this week in a blockbuster deal with the Clippers. They should be available to play Thursday night when Detroit hosts the Memphis Grizzlies.

The Pistons sent Tobias Harris, Avery Bradley, Boban Marjanovic and two draft picks to the Clippers. The deal came seven months after Griffin signed a $171 million, five-year contract to stay with Los Angeles.

Griffin says the Pistons clearly want him, and that’s the kind of organization he wants to play for. —Associated Press

Redskins acquire QB Smith Unable to strike a long-term contract for two years’ running with Kirk Cousins, the Washington Redskins have solved their uncertainty at quarterback by trading for Kansas City’s Alex Smith, according to a source with knowledge of the deal.

The move, which was first reported by the Kansas City Star, will bring the 33-yearold quarterback to Washington. It is expected to be finalized Wednesday. Under the agreement in principle, Smith, who had one year remaining on his contract with Kansas City, will sign a four-year contract extension. It is unclear what Washington will send Kansas City in return, but it will no doubt be less than the roughly $35 million that would be owed Cousins if the team were to use the franchise tag on him for a third straight year to keep him a Redskin.

The move means that Cousins, 29, who had shown no interest in striking a long-term deal with the Redskins, will get what he has long sought: a chance to test his value on the NFL’s free agent market and have a choice in his employer for the first time in his career.

MINNEAPOLIS — Roger Goodell wants to see the mystery of the NFL’s catch rule solved, and he’s ensured that the process has begun.

Asked about the scrutiny that NFL officiating came under this season, Goodell said “on the catch/no catch rule, we need to find a rule we think will address that. We certainly need to get this rule right so everyone can appreciate.”

Goodell recently spent three hours with former players, including Pro Football Hall of Famers, going over 150 plays. He said there were many good ideas offered, but as for the specifics of what should be a catch, there was little consensus.

“There were a lot of people with different perspectives and lot of disagreement in the room,” he said.

So the competition committee will dive into not only this rule, but perhaps refining the rulebook.

“I would like to start back, instead of adding to the rule, subtracting the rule.

Start over again and look at the rule fun-

damentally from the start. Because I think when you add or subtract things you can still lead to confusion. These rules are very complex; you have to look at what the unintended consequences are of making a change, which is what the competition committee, in my view, does so well and with so much thought.

“Clearly, the catch/no catch has had a lot of discussion. I won’t tell you there won’t be controversy (in the future), but we need to get to a better place.”

He added that there were more video replay interruptions in 2017 “and I think we can look at that. How do we make the game more attractive with less stoppages is one of the things we focus on. How do we use replay to ensure correcting obvious mistakes but making sure it doesn’t interrupt the flow of the game.”

Goodell revealed that the league has hired an independent investigator to look into claims of sexual and racial misconduct in the workplace against Carolina Panthers owner Jerry Richardson.

Former U.S. attorney Mary Jo White will lead the investigation. White has led similar investigations in other fields, including a recent one at the University of Rochester.

Richardson stepped away from day-to-

day operations after allegations surfaced and is seeking to sell the team. The NFL has said it didn’t pressure Richardson to sell based on the allegations.

Goodell said he wants the team to remain in Carolina and believes most of the other owners do, as well.

He also: —announced that the Rams will play a home game in Mexico City against the Chiefs. Until the new stadium in Los Angeles is ready in 2020, the Rams are likely to spend one home game a year elsewhere.

—reiterated his stance that it’s not the NFL’s place to get involved in whether Colin Kaepernick gets a chance with another team. “Clubs have to make their own decisions as far as who’s on their roster,” he said.

The comments from Goodell came a day after Philadelphia Eagles receiver Torrey Smith said Kaepernick not getting a chance with another team “kind of falls in the category of an injustice in itself.”

—referred to the recently created owners/players committee on social justice when asked any questions about protests during the national anthem, expressing optimism the NFL and its players are on the proper path.

NEW YORK — A runner would be put on second base at the start of the 11th inning of the All-Star Game and each additional inning, according to the latest pace-ofgame proposal by Major League Baseball.

The experiment also would be used in the 10th inning of spring training games, according to the Jan. 9 proposal obtained

by The Associated Press. Spring training games would be capped at 10 innings.

Concerned about injuries in games that don’t count, the players’ association isn’t expected to oppose the concept. MLB isn’t considering using the rule in any games that count.

Pirates trade for lefty reliever NEW YORK — Left-hander Josh Smoker has been traded from the New York Mets to the Pittsburgh Pirates for minor league lefthander Daniel Zamora and cash.

The swap was announced Wednesday, five days after Smoker was designated for assignment to clear a roster spot after the Mets re-signed free agent infielder Jose Reyes.

Smoker was 3-0 with a 4.70 ERA for the Mets as a rookie in 2016, then went 1-2 with a 5.11 ERA and 68 strikeouts in 56 ⅓ innings over 54 relief appearances last year.

Former Phillies’ outfielder Oscar Gamble dead at 68 NEW YORK — Oscar Gamble, an outfielder who hit 200 home runs over 17 major league seasons, has died of a rare tumor of the jaw. He was 68.

Gamble, recognizable during his playing days for an Afro that spilled out of his helmet, died Wednesday at UAB Hospital in Birmingham, Alabama, according to his second wife, Lovell Woods Gamble.

She said he was diagnosed with a benign tumor of the jaw, ameloblastoma, about nine years ago. It became ameloblastic carcinoma in 2016 and he had the first of several operations that August. He entered the hospital on Jan. 22. She said he never chewed tobacco.
