SAFETY RECALL

Harley-Davidson cites risk of brake failure Citing concerns that the brakes could fail if not properly serviced, Harley-Davidson has issued a recall notice for nearly 175,000 motorcycles produced from 2008 to 2011.

The company said in its recall notice that deposits can build up on components in the braking system if it is not flushed on a 2-year maintenance schedule specified in the ownerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s manual.

Harley-Davidson is vowing to contact owners of the aďŹ&#x20AC;ected bikes to bring their machines to dealers for free brake system flushing and refilling with new Platinum Label Dot 4 brake fluid.

The recall process is to begin Monday.

Owners can contact Harley-Davidson customer service at 800-258-2464.

The National Highway Safety Administration began investigating the braking problem in July 2016 after receiving reports that the antilock braking systems were failing without warning.

The agency reported receiving 43 complaints, including three reports of crashes and two involving injuries. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Matt Miller, mmiller@pennlive.com

CARLISLE

Barbecue restaurant closed after fire A fire destroyed the kitchen at Reddâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Smokehouse BBQ in Carlisle, closing the business until further notice.

The Sentinel reports crews responded to a reported fire on the third floor of the building that houses the restaurant in the 100 block of North Hanover Street on Monday.

A post on the restaurantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Facebook page indicates a smoker caught fire and caused â&#x20AC;&#x153;a pretty intense fireâ&#x20AC;? that destroyed the kitchen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Luckily, everyone was okay and, thanks to the hard work of many local fire departments and first responders, the damage was contained to our kitchen and basement,â&#x20AC;? the post reads. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our kitchen was destroyed and therefore we are closed until further notice. We are currently assessing the damage and are hopeful for a full recovery, but will keep everyone posted as the process unfolds.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Travis Kellar, tkellar@pennlive.com

Ho spit a l s acro s s t he United States have been flooded with flu cases.

Some hospitals have had to divert patients to other hospitals because they were full. Some, including Lehigh Valley Hospital near Allentown, have set up large tents outside to handle the flu patients.

A check of several other Harrisburg region hospitals on Tuesday and Wednesday found all operating at near capacity, but none that said they couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t handle more cases.

patients can quickly strain them.

The LionReach trailer now being used to handle some non-flu ER cases is normally used for training purposes.

A spoke swoma n for Geisinger Holy Spirit in Cumberland County said in an email that doctors and staff have been â&#x20AC;&#x153;diligent in appropriately admitting and discharging patients to maintain capacity in the hospital. This has enabled us to care for all the patients in our community who require medical attention.â&#x20AC;?

An emailed statement from UPMC Pinnacle said in part, â&#x20AC;&#x153;UPMC Pinnacle inpatient census has been high throughout January. This is typical of the winter season as viral and bacterial infections exacerbate underlying conditions, such as COPD, diabetes or cancer.â&#x20AC;?

UPMC Pinnacle warned that the sickest patients were being cared for first, and that people with minor illnesses or injuries could face longer than normal waits. UPMC Pinnacle suggested that people with minor problems go a family doctor or an urgent care center.

The New York T imes recently highlighted Lehigh Valley Hospital-Cedar Crest near Allentown, which erected an outside â&#x20AC;&#x153;surge tentâ&#x20AC;? to help manage flu cases. The hospital had recently seen a record 325 ER patients in one day, including 108 who were admitted.

The hospitalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Muhlenberg campus also added a tent.

T he T i me s quote d a Lehigh Valley Hospital doctor who said this isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the worst flu season heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seen, but this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s flu patients â&#x20AC;&#x153;seem sicker.â&#x20AC;?

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just inf luenza season that has more people seeking care, Dr. John Wheary, director of emergency medicine at Lehigh Valley Hospital-Muhlenberg in Bethlehem, told Lehigh Valley Live. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The flu is part of it, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re seeing a higher acuity of patients, greater numbers of patients with really all types of illnesses and injuries,â&#x20AC;? Wheary said.

Lehig h Va lley Hea lt h Network deployed its military-style surge tents last in 2013 and, before that, in 2009, said Wheary.

The surge tents can be erected anywhere. At the Muhlenberg campus off Schoenersville Road in Bethlehem, it is right outside the rear entrance to the emergency department. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In less than 24 hours we have a tent thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fully functional with equipment, computers, everything that we need to take care of emergency patients,â&#x20AC;? Wheary said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re able to flex into these types of spaces and make it work.â&#x20AC;?

The Times noted that â&#x20AC;&#x153;flu hospitalization rates across the country were the highest ever seen at this point in the season since tracking began in 2005 ... The rates have already surpassed those of the 2014-15 season, when 710,000 Americans were hospitalized and 56,000 died. So far this year, 53 children have died; by the time the flu season ended in 2015, 148 children had died.â&#x20AC;?

A n n u a l l y, b e t w e e n 600,000 and 2.4 million people come down with the flu in Pennsylvania and between 120 and 2,000 die.

The strains of flu that circulate in a given flu season are responsible for the range of impacts.

Flu often peaks before the end of February in Pennsylvania, with cases falling oďŹ&#x20AC; sharply. OďŹ&#x192;cially, the Pennsylvania f lu season runs from October until May.

Spanier seeks to clear conviction

Junko Wright, John Grumbine’s dance partner

LANCASTER

Music & moves Midstate man, at age 100, might be oldest competitive dancer in U.S. Steve Marroni smarroni@pennlive.com

“The guns” are his signature move.

With a flick of his wrist and a gleam in his eye, John Grumbine points an index finger, sticks up his thumb, and sometimes caps it off with a wink. It’s something he’s done for years when he’s just having a grand time, when he’s trying to embarrass his daughters or when he pulls off a new dance move.

And he’s been doing it for 100 years.

On March 31, Grumbine will turn 100 years old. And he’s in his 18th year of dance lessons at the Arthur Murray Dance Studio in Lancaster.

“The key to my longevity is dancing,” Grumbine said, dressed to the nines and itching to get out on the dance floor.

“It keeps me mentally, physically and spiritually active.”

Not only did he take up ballroom dancing in his 80s, but studio owner Lynn Reigle says he might be the oldest ballroom dancer competing in the U.S. right now.

That’s right. He competes.

Grumbine already had some natural rhythm when he started taking lessons, but that wasn’t good enough for him.

He wanted to be the best. He worked hard, came in several times per week, and in a few years, he was on the competition circuit, traveling as far as Las Vegas and bringing home several trophies, to boot.

“It’s scary,” he said about performing in front of a crowd.

But once you’re out there and the music starts, all those lessons pay off, and it’s just you, your partner, the music and the moves, he said. Everything else just fades away.

Seeing him compete and grow as a dancer, Reigle has learned from Grumbine that it’s never too late to start. And he’s an inspiration to many of her students.

Former Penn State President Graham Spanier took the next step Wednesday in his long personal crusade to clear his name of criminal responsibility for any of Jerry Sandusky’s crimes.

Spanier’s attorneys appeared before a panel of state Superior Court judges to argue for the dismissal of Spanier’s March 2017 conviction on one count of child endangerment by a Dauphin County jury.

Spanier, 69, was convicted for what prosecutors have called his failure to take the proper legal steps after a 2001 eyewitness account of potential misconduct by Sandusky was brought to his and other university administrators’ attention.

Prosecutors have argued that failure allowed Sandusky, a longtime assistant to then-head football coach Joe Paterno, to molest at least three more boys before a separate state investigation was launched in 2008 that led to Sandusky’s conviction on dozens of counts of child sexual abuse.

The Penn State case is already appearing as a case study in certain business ethics texts.

But Spanier’s defense team is arguing that it never should have been prosecuted as a crime in the first place.

In Wednesday’s oral arguments, attorney Bruce Merenstein argued a child sex abuse extension to normal deadlines that prosecutors have to file criminal charges was wrongly applied in Spanier’s case.

That’s because, Merenstein argued, the extension was never sought by prosecutors during the case, but instead summarily granted by trial Judge John Boccabella in his post-trial opinion on Spanier’s initial appeal.

Prosecutors, Merenstein said, had relied on arguments that the charges were timely because Spanier’s actions represented a continuing course of conduct, in that every day he failed to report Sandusky more children were exposed to risk.

Jurors in the March trial found Spanier was guilty of a specific act of child endangerment in the decision not to report the 2001 incident, graded as a misdemeanor.

GAMBLING EXPANSION LAW

Wolf, board aim to kill attempt to stop state from adding mini casinos In court papers seeking to dismiss suit, state says Penn National’s Hollywood Casino has plenty of protection Matt Miller mmiller@pennlive.com

Gov. Tom Wolf is urging a federal judge to toss out a bid by the owners of Hollywood Casino to kill part of Pennsylvania’s controversial gambling expansion law.

Wolf and the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board made that plea in filings lodged with U.S. Middle District Judge Yvette Kane on Wednesday.

They are seeking dismissal of a lawsuit the Hollywood Casino owner filed early last month contending the gaming expansion will expose the Dauphin County casino to unfair competition that could cost it hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of business.

Hollywood officials are challenging a provision of the expansion law that will permit the establishment of new casinos within a safety zone around Hollywood’s bailiwick.

Wolf and the gaming board insist that fear is baseless, and that Hollywood’s owner should be forced to fold on its attempt to challenge a law that is expected to channel an extra $225 million to the state’s coffers this year.

Hollywood already has more protection than several of Pennsylvania’s other 11 existing casinos, which are located in more populous areas of the state and go head-to-head to attract customers, they claim in answering the Hollywood suit.

“Hollywood Casino’s 25-mile protective zone in all directions is more than a casino like Presque Isle of the Meadows receives due to competition in neighboring states,” the governor and gaming board contend.

Hollywood’s suit was filed on the eve of the state’s first rounding of bidding for options to create the new Category 4 casinos allowed by the gaming expansion. The law permits SEE SUIT, A12

Snow, sleet and rain Travis Kellar tkellar@pennlive.com

Most of central Pennsylvania woke up to a mixture of snow and sleet Wednesday morning.

Schools closed and speed limits were restricted as a result of the precipitation.

About 1.5 inches of snow fell in Colonial Park as a result of the

storm, according to National Weather Service meteorologist Joe Ceru. In Duncannon, 1.8 inches fell, while up to 4.5 inches were reported in Glendale Lake in Cambria County.

Ceru noted the storm was â&#x20AC;&#x153;a little diďŹ&#x20AC;erentâ&#x20AC;? than initially predicted, as the snow transitioned over to mixed precipitation a little earlier.

The skies should clear up today, but it will be colder.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to be compliant, and make sure our citizens and voters have a place they can vote at.â&#x20AC;?

County Commissioner Vince DiFilippo

CUMBERLAND COUNTY

Some polling places will require changes County will wait for oďŹ&#x20AC;-year elections to change voting locations Barbara Miller bmiller@pennlive.com

Cumberland County is making some changes at polling places this year to ensure they are accessible to handicapped persons, but none are expected to be moving this year, said a commissioner Tuesday.

Some potential barriers to disabled voters were found in an April 2016 survey conducted in 2016 by the Department of Justice and U.S. attorneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oďŹ&#x192;ce, U.S. Attorney David Freed announced Monday.

An agreement was reached Feb. 1 with Cumberland County to address the issues, Freed said.

Of the 52 polling places surveyed out of the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s total of 118, 36 had what County Commissioner Vince DiFilippo described as â&#x20AC;&#x153;minor issues.â&#x20AC;?

They range from signage and lack of door stops to the slope of parking lot and structural issues, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to be compliant, and make sure our citizens and voters have a place they can vote at,â&#x20AC;? DiFilippo said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are a few that may need to be moved,â&#x20AC;? DiFilippo said of some polling places, but said that would be during an oďŹ&#x20AC;year election.

A federal Department of Justice survey found accessibility issues at some Cumberland County polling places. Joe Hermitt, PennLive, file

Measures that the county has agreed to implement, says the agreement, include installing portable ramps, portable wedges or ramps, floor mats, traďŹ&#x192;c cones, moving furniture, installing door stops, propping open doors, unlocking doors, signage in buildings and parking areas, portable buzzers or door bells, and removing door posts that are not a permanent part of a structure

from doorways.

StaďŹ&#x20AC; will also be trained in how to accommodate disabled voters.

The agreement says the county has until 2021 to make the needed changes.

After the survey was done in April 2016, the county addressed 17 issues in 17 polling places before the presidential election that year, said Bethany Salzarulo, county direc-

tor of elections and voter registration.

They now want to verify the results of the survey, and are working to implement the agreement. They will also survey the 66 polling places that were not included in the 2016 check, she said.

Salzarulo also termed the issues found â&#x20AC;&#x153;very minor,â&#x20AC;? and estimated the cost to fix them at around $100. They include items like buying door stops, moving a planter in a hallway and the location of furniture.

Items such as slope in a parking lot might mean a new polling place will be needed, DiFilippo said.

He also said the county hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t received a complaint regarding accessibility in more than 14 years.

DiFilippo said he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know why Cumberland County was one of the counties selected for the survey, which oďŹ&#x192;cials have said included five counties in the U.S. Middle District.

Most of the buildings in which polling places are located are not owned by the county, he noted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We rent them for a couple of days a year with the assumption they are ADA compliant, but some may not be,â&#x20AC;? DiFilippo said.

Some of the polling places identified as being non-complaint include schools, libraries and government buildings, he said.

The county believes there were also some errors in the survey, DiFilippo said. For example, the wrong building was surveyed in one case, and in some, the wrong entrance was examined.

Fair might move to the summer Sean Adams sadams@pennlive.com

The annual York Fair might be making a move to a warmer time of year.

The York Daily Record reported a longrange strategic business plan shared by York Expo Center CEO Michael Froehlich, which included possibly holding the York Fair to July or August instead of in September.

The plan also included potentially expanding the fairâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exhibition space by 10,000 square feet, to 50,000 square feet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For the past 10-15 years, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been transitioning from a fair to a year-round expo trade show center,â&#x20AC;?

The summer dates are being considered in order to draw more daytime visitors to the 10-day event.

Froehlich told the York Daily Record that moving the fair into the summer months would mean that the events and vendors could â&#x20AC;&#x153;basically go from 10 in the morning to 10 at night.â&#x20AC;?

PHILADELPHIA

Islander vows to keep seeking info as township sues to stop him Matt Miller mmiller@pennlive.com

Susquehanna River islander Glenn Harmon vowed Tuesday that he won’t quit his pursuit of information, even as Londonderry Township officials are asking the courts to shut him down.

Harmon, who owns a cabin on Shelly Island, is the target of a lawsuit the township filed in Dauphin County Court, claiming he is harassing Londonderry officials with endless requests for information under Pennsylvania’s Right to Know Law. His campaign is forcing the township to needlessly spend tens thousands of dollars, and could prompt a tax increase if left unchecked, Londonderry officials contend in their unusual legal action.

Harmon, however, insisted that he’s hardly a pest. Rather, he said he’s an advocate who is striving to let the public know what’s going on in a township government he described as a “sewer.”

“My motive here is that there are a lot of bad things going on in that township,” he said during a phone interview from his winter home in Florida. “There’s a lot of nonsense. There’s a lot of wasted money.”

Harmon, 76, a retired auditor, said he began seeking township records after Londonderry officials struck a deal with York Haven Power Co. officials to terminate summer rentals of cabins on the company-owned part of Shelly Island. While Harmon’s cabin isn’t affected by that deal, about 300 former renters are under orders to tear down their retreats.

Township officials claim the evictions stem from findings of the Federal Emergency Management Agency that Londonderry was not adequately enforcing its floodplain regulations by allowing development of summer housing on the island.

Allowing the rented cabins to remain would jeopardize the township’s access to federal flood insurance, Londonderry leaders said.

Although his cabin wasn’t immediately at risk, “I thought they’re probably going to try to come after me, so I better figure out what’s going on,” Harmon said.

So, he started filing those right-to-know requests, starting with one to assure the township had the nonconforming use certificate for his cabin on file. It did.

Since then, Harmon has requested an array of information, from budget and engineering documents to contract data, audits and information regarding funding of the township’s golf course.

Londonderry officials claim in their suit that Harmon’s requests — more than 75 were

Amtrak engineer ordered to stand trial Amtrak engineer Brandon Bostian sat stunned Tuesday as a judge reinstated twice-rejected criminal charges and ordered him to stand trial for a deadly 2015 train wreck in Philadelphia.

Judge Kathryn S. Lewis ruled that another judge erred in dismissing the reckless endangerment and involuntary manslaughter charges in September.

Eight people were killed and about 200 were hurt when the Washington-to-New York train rounded a curve at more than twice the 50 mph speed limit and hurdled off the tracks.

National Transportation Safety Board investigators concluded Bostian lost his bearings while distracted by radio chatter about an incident with a nearby train.

They found no evidence Bostian was impaired or using a cellphone.

Bostian, 34, remains free on bail but must give up his passport and call court officials weekly. — Associated Press GETTYSBURG

filed this fall — amount to a “retaliatory assault” that has cost the township more than $85,000 to process to date.

Harmon’s bombardment has diverted municipal staff from other duties to research the requests and has forced Londonderry to hire a part-timer to deal with the overflow, the suit states.

If Harmon isn’t ordered to stop, his campaign could cost the township of 5,200 residents more than $250,000 this year, Londonderry officials claim.

Township officials want the county court to permanently block what they claim is Harmon’s abuse of the system. For the near term, they are seeking a preliminary injunction to dam up Harmon’s filing flood while the case is hashed out.

Harmon, an islander since 1969, countered that he’s not asking for anything that isn’t legitimate public information. The township has fought him repeatedly, forcing him to appeal denials to the state Office of Open Records, thereby increasing Londonderry’s legal costs, he said.

Another reason he has filed so many requests, Harmon said, is that the township has been stingy with the information, forcing him to lodge repeated filings to get records. The information has been pried loose in bits and pieces, and each piece provides information that needs to be followed up with further requests, he said.

“I thought, why are they being so secretive? Why are they making me work so hard?” Harmon said. “These are public records. ... They really started getting hardnosed.”

Harmon has revealed some of his findings on his Facebook page. Among the things he is questioning is the township’s financial support for the golf course. “I saw the township was channeling all this money to the golf course,” Harmon said.

“I’m a township taxpayer. That upset me.”

He regards the court case as upsetting, too, since “They’re using my taxpayer dollars to fight me.”

And there will be no knuckling under.

“I’m pretty tenacious,” Harmon said.

A doctor is accused of treating patients while high on cocaine and other drugs and letting her office manager prescribe highly addictive opioids to patients she hadn’t examined.

The state attorney general’s office filed criminal charges against Dr. Rita Harrison last week. A grand jury investigation found that Harrison showed “reckless indifference” to her patients. The probe determined that she pre-signed about 100 prescriptions and sometimes failed to show up for scheduled appointments. Court documents allege that staff members were allowed to perform the duties of a doctor.

Harrison’s practice, Battlewound Healthcare near Gettysburg, provided patients with powerful narcotics.

Harrison’s defense attorney, Geoff McInroy, said it’s too early to comment on the case. — Associated Press CARLISLE

Rape victim is being harassed, DA says Matt Miller mmiller@pennlive.com

YOUR SWEET

VICTORY

The ordeal of a rape victim isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t over even after a Cumberland County judge sentenced her attacker to state prison on Tuesday, a prosecutor said.

Instead, Assistant District Attorney Courtney Hair LaRue told Judge Thomas A. Placey the woman has become a target for allies of convicted rapist Joshua Culley.

The victim has received anonymous accusatory letters and is being harassed on social media as well, LaRue said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Basically (the harassers) are saying that people who make false rape allegations are horrible people,â&#x20AC;? LaRue said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re investigating that now,â&#x20AC;? she said, adding that criminal charges could be filed if the letter senders and online commenters can be identified.

Placey sentenced Culley, 28, of Enola, to 7½- to 15Ÿ years in prison for his convictions by a county jury on charges of rape, sexual assault and unlawful restraint.

Investigators said this was an acquaintance rape that occurred in Silver Spring Township in December 2016. Culley insisted he was innocent, and he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t concede guilt as he stood before Placey on Tuesday morning.

Culley thanked his family for support-

ing him through his struggles with drug and alcohol abuse. A half-dozen of his relatives were there, and after defense attorney George Matangos identified them they stood throughout the sentencing hearing.

One woman wept loudly as the proceeding began.

Culley apologized to the victim â&#x20AC;&#x153;for any actions that evening that you considered inappropriate or disrespectful.â&#x20AC;?

The victim didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t address the judge.

Culley added that he is intent on â&#x20AC;&#x153;not letting this chapter of my life define me.â&#x20AC;?

Matangos said intoxication and diďŹ&#x20AC;erent interpretations played into the crime. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No one can gainsay the unfortunate and misguided choices Joshua made that evening,â&#x20AC;? he told Placey.

Culley has a record of such poor decisions, LaRue said. She noted that while he was out on bail awaiting trial on the rape charges, Culley was arrested for peddling marijuana.

Culley is serving an 11½- to 23-month county prison sentence for that drug conviction, LaRue said. She asked Placey to order Culley to serve his rape sentence consecutively to his drug term.

Placey did just that after citing Culleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;considerableâ&#x20AC;? criminal record of four drunken driving convictions and five convictions involving drugs.

Dismiss case by flag-burning activist, county asks U.S. judge Matt Miller mmiller@pennlive.com

York County oďŹ&#x192;cials are asking a federal judge to dismiss a civil rights lawsuit filed by flag-burning activist Gene Stilp.

And they want the court to order Stilp to pay the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legal fees.

Stilp sued York County in U.S. Middle District Court last month, claiming it is violating his free speech rights and illegally interfering with his statewide campaign to burn hybrid Nazi/Confederate flags on the steps of county courthouses.

He says he is waging his incendiary demonstrations as a counterpoint to white supremacist rallies.

The target of Stilpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s suit is a 16-year-old York County ordinance requiring permits for the use of county property. That measure, which requires 60 daysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; notice of any

proposed demonstration and a $100 permit fee, violates his constitutional right to free speech, Stilp contends.

Other counties where he has staged flag burnings have imposed no such requirements, Stilp contends. Last week he burned one of his flags outside Dauphin Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s courthouse after promptly getting the nod from county oďŹ&#x192;cials to light it up.

York County leaders York contend in the dismissal request their ordinance â&#x20AC;&#x153;is clearly constitutional.â&#x20AC;?

NORTH LEBANON TOWNSHIP

4 charged in December armed robbery North Lebanon Township police charged four men in connection to an armed robbery last year.

The men accused of robbing the Dollar General on the 1700 block of Route 72 North on Dec. 21 are Tariq Jackson, 18, of Hummelstown; Joseph Lonnie Lee, 19, no fixed address; Frederick Lynn Maines, 22, no fixed address; and George Andrew SpaseďŹ&#x20AC;, 22, of Hummelstown.

SpaseďŹ&#x20AC; is out on bail. Maines is being held at Dauphin County Prison on $50,000 bail. Lee and Jackson are being held at a jail in Cape May County, New Jersey, according to a Lebanon Daily News report. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Wesley Robinson, wrobinson@pennlive.com

STATE COLLEGE

Therapy that tries to change homosexuality banned State College has banned conversion therapy aimed at changing or suppressing homosexuality in minors.

Therapy aimed at changing the sexual orientation of youth in the LGBTQ community will no longer be allowed in the Centre County borough, council unanimously voted Monday night, reports the Centre Daily Times.

Reading banned the practice in December, joining Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and Allentown. There are nine states in which some communities have banned the controversial therapy.

Councilman David Brown said he was concerned the ban wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t comprehensive enough, and could still allow use of the therapy by ministers. He also questioned why the ban was needed, since he hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t heard of the therapy being used in State College. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Barbara Miller, bmiller@pennlive.

2018-19 STATE BUDGET PROPOSAL

Gov. Tom Wolf delivers his proposed budget for the 2018-19 fiscal year to a joint session of the general assembly Tuesday.

Behind himare House Speaker Mike Turzai, left, and Lt. Gov. Mike Stack. Dan Gleiter, PennLive

Breaking down the budget Gov. Tom Wolf’s fourth budget plan calls for more money for public schools, and fighting heroin and opioid addictions, while trying again to impose fees on some municipalities to help pay for state police coverage. Here’s a look at the winners and losers in his proposed $33 billion budget for 2018-19.

PUBLIC SCHOOLS

At a glance: The state’s investment in preschool-to-grade 12 education would rise to a record level of more than $9.3 billion — close to one third of the general fund budget. It includes a $100 million increase in basic education (the bread and butter of state funding for school districts), $20 million more for special education, and $40 million more for preschool. In addition, it calls for maintaining the $250 million in school block grant funding for another year.

What it means: School districts would have more help from the state in covering their pension, health care, special education and personnel costs in the next school year, as well as possibly help to keep down class sizes and avoid cuts to academic programs.

The additional preschool funding would allow 4,400 more young children to enroll in early learning programs. The governor also is putting an emphasis on career and technical education to help train workers to fill current and anticipated job vacancies.

Verdict: Win

Legislature: Toss-up

Public schools: Win

Opioid epidemic: Win

Environmental protection: Loss

Harrisburg: Win

Criminal Justice: Toss-up

TAXES

At a glance: In an election year budget, there’s no hint of any plan to raise broadbased taxes — income or sales tax — for individuals or increase the tax burden on most businesses.

Gov. Tom Wolf is taking another shot at a tax that has so far proven elusive: a severance tax on natural gas production from the state’s Marcellus Shale regions.

Wolf also said he will continue to push for changes in the structure of the state’s corporate net income taxes that could, if enacted, lead to reductions in the state’s tax rate on corporate profits in 2019.

What it means: Pennsylvania has been the sole state with Marcellus Shale reserves that does not take a direct cut to help fund public services, such as schools or safe drinking water.

(The state and host municipalities do receive some money from impact fees that are assessed when new wells are opened.)

Wolf has proposed a progressive tax that slides upward with the market price of gas.

Based on projected prices for 2018-19, the administration believes this tax would generate $248 million.

The proposed business tax changes would have no budgetary impact in fiscal 2019.

Verdict: Win.

HEALTH AND HUMANS SERVICES

At a glance: The Health and Human Services Department would get $12.6 billion, an increase of about 2.4 percent. Closely-related programs, including services for the aging, would get small boosts or stay about the same.

What it means: The big item is a proposed increase of about $100 million toward services for people with intellectual disabilities including autism. This funding would, among other things, take 100 people off the emergency waiting list and give them waivers to pay for services, give 965 people supports intended to help them continue to live in their home communities, and give waivers to another 800 people to support them living with their families or nearby.

The proposed budget also includes $2.5 million toward carrying out some of the recommendations of a Lyme disease task force, with the money focused on areas including awareness, prevention and surveillance.

The proposed budget for the Department of Aging is $505 million, down about 5 percent. However, some of the decrease is the result of services that were moved to the department of Health and Human Services.

The Health Care Cost Containment Council, which produces reports focusing on the cost and quality of health care in Pennsylvania, would get $3.6 million, up from about $2.8 million.

Verdict: Win OPIOID EPIDEMIC

At a glance: The Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs would get $46.5 million, a slight increase.

What it means: The proposed budget would add to efforts to address the opioid addiction crisis, with the budget stating, “it is clear much more must be done.” The proposals include $2 million toward increas-

with only one other main source of additional funding: the students. So expect tuition bills to rise. The governor also is calling for a $500,000 decrease in the state grant program, so additional help in paying that bill would be unlikely unless the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency ponies up more of its own money or the General Assembly finds a way to boost funding for grants.

Verdict: Loss ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

At a glance: The state Department of Environmental Protection, which enforces regulations concerning clean air and water, will receive a $8.2 million bump in state funding, bringing the total to $157 million.

Across all funds, including federal dollars, the department’s budget increases $3 million to nearly $725 million.

State funding for the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, which oversees state parks and forests, would increase $16 million to $121.2 million. Across all funds, it would increase $14 million to $392 million.

What it means: The EPA and environmental advocacy groups have repeated raised alarm bells about Pennsylvania’s environmental oversight, including a warning that current staffing levels make it mathematically impossible for the DEP to fulfill its Safe Drinking Water Act obligations.

That’s due in large part to budget cuts and attrition over the last decade. Had the agency’s 2008 budget of $229 million kept pace with inflation, it would now be $267 million.

The Wolf administ rat ion recent ly announced a plan to hire new positions across the DEP’s various regulatory programs. That’s a drop in the bucket compared to the long-range trend. In 2005, the agency had 3,132 full-time employees. Today, it’s 2,461 and Wolf’s proposal — if adopted by the Legislature — would bring it to 2,494.

Verdict: Loss LEGISLATURE

Taxes: Win

Higher Education: Loss

ing the number of county-based specialty drug courts to steer people who are addicted to treatment rather than punishment, and $4.5 million toward sending treatment professionals to the homes of pregnant woman and new mothers who are or were addicted, including mothers whose baby was born dependent on opioids.

It’s worth noting that much of the money Pennsylvania will use toward paying for addiction treatment comes from the federal government rather than the state’s general fund budget. For example, an additional $26.5 million that will help pay for addiction treatment in Pennsylvania is federal money that’s part of the the 21st Century Cures Act passed by U.S. Congress several years ago.

Verdict: Win

Department of Criminal Justice, which includes parole and probation duties, would see a $105 million increase in state funding to $2.54 billion. Across all funds, the department’s budget would reach $2.68 billion.

What it means: For years, the state dipped into the Motor License Fund, which was intended for traffic-related expenses, to pay for general operations of the state police. As Pennsylvania moves away from that practice, the burden of paying for policing doesn’t go away. Under Wolf’s proposal, municipalities that rely solely on the state police would pick up the slack. Another noteworthy expenditure in the coming year will be the rollout of a long-gestating statewide public safety radio system.

On the corrections side, much of the spending increase is due to fixed medical and infrastructure costs. One interesting revenue line item is an additional $1.9 million in anticipated federal reimbursement for “alien inmates” due to the crackdown on undocumented residents.

Verdict: Toss-up

HARRISBURG

At a glance: The proposed budget includes $5 million the state has long paid to Harrisburg for fire protection in the Capitol city.

What it means: The appropriation is intended to reimburse the city for providing fire and emergency services for the state’s 40 tax-exempt buildings. The city has been getting the $5 million appropriation since 2013, after local legislators and the city’s receiver lobbied for an increase in the annual payment. Before that, the city’s funding has fluctuated between $500,000 and $2 million a year.

Verdict: Win. CRIMINAL JUSTICE

At a glance: Pennsylvania State Police would see a bump in funding, up $8.8 million to $260.5 million. The proposal again includes a $25 per capita fee for municipalities that rely solely on state police coverage, which would generate $63 million and help shift the burden from the Motor License Fund and onto local taxpayers. Across all funds, including federal and special funds, the department’s budget is $1.32 billion.

On the corrections side, the combined

UNIVERSITIES AND COLLEGES

At a glance: The budget provides for $1.8 billion for higher education, a $19.5 million increase over this year.

The only universities that would see any kind of meaningful increase are the 14 that are part of the State System of Higher Education. If that holds in the final budget, it would be the fourth consecutive year the state-owned universities received more state support. Still, the proposed funding falls $58 million short of the amount requested.

The governor is calling for money for the four state-related universities — Penn State, Pitt, Temple, and Lincoln universities — to remain level for a third consecutive year.

And community colleges would see no additional state money to support their operating budgets but would see a more than $1.8 million boost in funding for capital projects.

What it means: If the state doesn’t invest more in these institutions, that leaves them

At a glance: Wolf has earmarked $325.2 million for the operations of the 50-member state Senate and the 203-member House of Representatives. That is flat funding from the current year.

What it means: Legislative funding can sometimes be a budget hostage, used for leverage by a governor on other major policy points. But the initial appropriation here seems fair in a year when most other state departments are not getting large increases.

Plus, the House and Senate did see spending jump by 4.7 percent in the current budget year.

Verdict: Toss-up.

STATE WORKERS

At a glance: The governor’s budget calls for a net decrease in the state employee complement of 200 positions. The elimination of those positions are expected to be handled through retirements. This takes the overall size of the state government workforce under the governor’s jurisdiction to below 73,000, the lowest it’s been in decades.

What it means: The governor’s budget proposes merging the Department of Health and Human Services, reducing the number of positions in those departments by 289.

Unlike the department merger he proposed last year, he would leave the departments of aging and drug and alcohol programs intact.

His plan also calls for adding positions to handle new initiatives such as Spotted Lanternfly interdiction and eradication, the medical marijuana program, and implementing a new defined contribution option in the two state pension systems, along with adding positions to bolster the number of restaurant, air quality and water inspectors, among others.

Budget Secretary Randy Albright said the budget provides for non-represented (management) employees to receive the same pay increases as unionized workers are to receive — a 2.5 percent general increase in July and the 2.5 percent step increase in January 2019.

Verdict: Win (no layoffs, but pay raises) — Compiled by PennLive reporters Jan Murphy, Charles Thompson, Wallace McKelvey and David Wenner

Jan Murphy jmurphy@pennlive.com

Gov. Tom Wolfâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $33 billion budget proposal for 2018-19 was ridiculed by Republican candidates who want his job as one that overspends and lacks vision to lead Pennsylvania forward.

Wolf, who is up for re-election this year, spent much of his budget address to the General Assembly on Tuesday touting the accomplishments of his first three years in office and focusing little on the details of whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in his $33 billion budget that proposes a $1 billion, or 3.7 percent, spending increase.

But one piece he did highlight in a challenge to the Legislature was to pass a severance tax on natural gas drillers, the only tax increase included in his budget proposal for next year.

His GOP gubernatorial challengers saw his blueprint for state spending as an election-year budget intended to bolster Wolfâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chances of being elected to a second term.

Here are some of their thoughts they oďŹ&#x20AC;ered about the proposal: Sen. Scott Wagner: The York County senator said the governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget shows Wolfâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s No. 1 priority is about getting re-elected as evidenced by the time he has spent traveling around the state.

Further, he was critical of education spending in the budget that will go to line the pockets of the Pennsylvania State Education Association, one of Wolfâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top supporters.

Other (Economic Development & Recreation): 1.1%

Gross receipts tax: 3.6%

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bowing to special interests and unfortunately, the working families of Pennsylvania are not seeing any great improvement in their lives,â&#x20AC;? Wagner said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no bold leadership in this budget.â&#x20AC;?

He pointed out that in Wolfâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first two budgets, the governor did call for increasing the personal income tax rate and increasing the rate or expanding the base of the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sales tax. He said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;This year, however, knowing the people of Pennsylvania are tired of having him try to dip his hands into their pockets, the governor is desperately trying to change his tune.â&#x20AC;?

House Speaker Mike Turzai: â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have to live within our means. We are not interested in increasing taxes, not just on families but job-crushing taxes that allow the economy to grow,â&#x20AC;? he said.

SPEECH FROM A1

should all be happy to share it.â&#x20AC;?

He added, â&#x20AC;&#x153;So fly Eagles, fly.â&#x20AC;?

You also just knew it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to last.

In a workmanlike speech that was short on sweeping goals, peppered with boasts about his achievements, and shot through with jabs at the General Assembly, Wolf rolled out an election year budget that he no doubt hopes will help win him another four years in the top spot come November. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When some in the Legislature havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mustered up the political will to work with me, I have no problem doing the work on my own,â&#x20AC;? Wolf said at one point, adding, â&#x20AC;&#x153;But Harrisburg works better â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Pennsylvania works better â&#x20AC;&#x201D; when we work together to make it work for everyone.â&#x20AC;?

Among other things, Wolf called Tuesday for $225 million in new spending for public schools and a focus on career and technical education; a rollback of Pennsylvaniaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 9.99 percent corporate income tax and continued spending on road and bridge repairs.

He also doubled-down on his call for a severance tax on natural gas drillers, which the administration says will raise nearly $249 million a year. The tax has been the white whale of his administration. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposed it every year of his four years in office, only to see its approval elude him.

state without an extraction tax. But it does impose an impact-fee on drillers, which helps pay for the public infrastructure and environmental costs of drilling, and which would remain under Wolfâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposal. â&#x20AC;&#x153; E ve r y w h e r e e l s e â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Alaska â&#x20AC;&#x201D; theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re bringing in billions of dollars from the oil and gas industries,â&#x20AC;?

Wolf said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And that money is going to fix roads, build schools and keep taxes low.â&#x20AC;?

Legislative Republicans, clearly realizing they face their own leadership test as they look to hold their majorities in the House and Senate (not to mention sending Wolf packing) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; were measured in their praise; specific in their criticisms, and even, fantastically, vowed to get a completed spending plan onto Wolfâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s desk by May. One of those Republicans looking to replace Wolf, state House Speaker Mike Turzai, of Allegheny County, said that â&#x20AC;&#x153;once again it will be up to Republicans in the

Laura Ellsworth: She called the governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget â&#x20AC;&#x153;more of the same â&#x20AC;&#x201D; more spending, more taxes, and more burdens on the backs of working families and job creators.â&#x20AC;?

The Pittsburgh attorney was critical of the governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s call for a severance tax on â&#x20AC;&#x153;our stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most important growth industryâ&#x20AC;? that â&#x20AC;&#x153;puts a stake in the heart of one of the most important economic opportunities for Pennsylvania in a generation.â&#x20AC;?

As for the governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s call for $120 million more for basic and special education, she said it fails to address what is broken in the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s education system and doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t foster choice in education for children. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wolf has nothing more creative to oďŹ&#x20AC;er our kids than continuing to throw more money at a system that is fundamentally broken,â&#x20AC;? she said.

General Assembly to be the adults in the room,â&#x20AC;? and whittle down the nearly $33 billion price-tag attached to Wolfâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fourth spending plan.

In remarks that might as well have been a stump speech ahead of this weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Republican endorsement me e t i n g i n Her-

The Allegheny County representative was critical of the governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s revenue estimates last year that he said were higher than anybody would expect despite the growing economy, that left the state with a $1.5 billion deficit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inexcusable,â&#x20AC;? Turzai said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are not going to go through those same shenanigans in this budget.â&#x20AC;?

He said this budget needs to focus on imposing work requirements for able-bodied Medicaid recipients.

Turzai said he supports more money for public schools provided accountability measures are in place to measure how it is spent.

He also he asked where the money was for school choice in the governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One size does not fit all. We certainly believe that in any education array that has to be part of the agenda,â&#x20AC;? he said.

shey, Turzai rattled off a list of goals that included a work-requirement for Medicaid recipients and school choice for public school students. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an opportunity to make Pennsylvania better, to make sure each and every child in Pennsylvania has an opportunity,â&#x20AC;? he said.

House Majority Leader D ave Re e d , R- I n d i a n a County, whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s running for the 9th Congressional District seat now held by retiring U.S. Bill Shuster, said Republicans need to â&#x20AC;&#x153;look outside the boxâ&#x20AC;? for ways to pay for public education and other proposals contained in the administrationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spending plan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m g lad he rea lizes that working families canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pay any more in additional taxes,â&#x20AC;? Reed said, crediting Wolf for sticking with his decision not to pursue any broad-based tax hikes, such as increasing the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sales

Paul Mango: â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is why I call him Thomas the Tax Engine Wolf. A billion dollars more in spending at a time when the commonwealth is already borrowing just to balance the books and continuing to kick the can down the road on our state pension crisis that is taking up one-tenth of our budget,â&#x20AC;? said the retired Allegheny County health care executive. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Worse yet, Wolf is targeting our growing natural gas industry that is helping rural Pennsylvanians climb the economic ladder to fill his gaping budget hole,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the road to economic growth, this is the path to continued centralization of power.â&#x20AC;?

Mango went on to criticize Wolf for being fixated on finding new ways to impose taxes on working Pennsylvanians and said that idea needs to be â&#x20AC;&#x153;erased from our minds once and for all.â&#x20AC;?

He said the way state government works wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t change until people willing to shake up the status quo are elected.

and personal income taxes.

Reed foreshadowed concerns voiced by other Republicans about the $1 billion in new spending included in Wolfâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget proposal, saying it could drive up taxes if it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t reined in.

Some of the work on this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget could be made easier by better-than-expected tax collections. The state is expected to end the current budget year with a $40 million surplus. And administration off icia ls hope to tuck even more money into the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Rainy Day Fund, a kind of budget

savings account for lean times. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to have to roll up our sleeves and reduce (spending),â&#x20AC;? Senate Majority Leader Jake Corman, R-Centre County, said.

Wolf, meanwhile, ended his speech to a joint session of the state House and Senate with a call to lawmakers to join him in â&#x20AC;&#x153;writing the next chapter in the story of this great commonwealth.â&#x20AC;?

With so many competing visions, that story is seemingly guaranteed to take some wild turns before itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s done.

SPANIER FROM A3

But, Merenstein noted, Spanier was acquitted of a sister child endangerment count graded as a felony because of the alleged course of conduct.

Deputy Attorney General Gregory Simatic asked the judges to consider the context for the juryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s verdict, arguing the only reason the course of conduct question ever got before the jury was to decide whether Spanierâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oďŹ&#x20AC;ense would be graded as a felony or misdemeanor.

Boccabella and his predecessors in the case, Simatic said, had already decided that the statute of limitations issue in pre-trial proceedings as a matter of law.

Spanierâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s argument is Boccabellaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legal ruling canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stand in the face of the juryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s verdict, because if the child sex abuse exception was applied pre-trial it would have opened the door to other questions, including the age of the victim that then-Penn State graduate assistant Mike McQueary said he saw in the Penn State showers with Sandusky.

As it stands, the defense never got to raise those issues, Merenstein said.

Simatic countered the court might find both decisions can stand, by accepting that Boccabella was looking at Spanierâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inaction in enforcing PSUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s internal decision to bar Sandusky from coming on campus with kids, while the jurors were focused more on the actual act of not reporting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Part of the failure was the failure to implement the plan,â&#x20AC;? Simatic said.

Wednesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arguments were heard by Judge Victor Stabile, Senior Judge Lillian Ransom and Judge Carolyn Nichols, who was elected to the court last year and was sitting in her first argument session.

If the appellate panel reverses the lower courtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finding, the defense argues, the case would have to be dismissed because the normal two-year window to file a misdemeanor count would have expired in 2003.

Spanier wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t charged until November 2012.

Spanier, who was present for Wednesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s session, went to trial last year shortly after two of his senior aides at Penn State, former Senior Vice President for Business and Finance Gary Schultz and former Athletic Director Tim Curley, both pleaded guilty to a similar child endangerment charge.

The crux of the prosecutionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s case is the trio were alerted to the 2001 incident â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the second such case they had been made aware of regarding Sandusky â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and made a conscious decision not to take the information to police or child welfare authorities.

Spanier personally endorsed the decision to handle the issue internally in a Feb. 27, 2001, email to Curley in which he wrote, in part, â&#x20AC;&#x153;the only downside for us is if the message (to Sandusky) isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;heardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and acted upon, and we then become vulnerable for not having reported it.â&#x20AC;?

Sandusky, as the world now knows, was later convicted of serial sexual abuse of 10 boys between 1994 and 2008, including at least three cases that followed the McQueary incident.

He is serving a 30-year minimum prison term in a state prison in western Pennsylvania.

Spanier was sentenced by Boccabella to 4 to 23 months in prison, with the minimum term split between two months incarceration and two months of house arrest.

The former president has remained free on bail pending his appeal.

Spanier, whose 16-year tenure as president ended abruptly with Sanduskyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s November 2011 arrest, recently completed a separation agreement with the university that saw him paid $600,000 per year. He had no formal duties or assignments for the university during that time.

Spanier continues now as a tenured faculty member at Penn State on paid administrative leave. As per university policy, his current salary is confidential.

That initial bidding round on Jan. 10 resulted in Holly woodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s owner, Penn National Gaming, submitting the highest bid of $50.1 million for exclusive rights to apply for a license to set up one of the new casinos within 15 miles of Yoe in York County. That casinoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s service zone would overlap Hollywoodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s buďŹ&#x20AC;er area.

Wolf and the gaming board claim Hollywoodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s federal case must be dismissed because, among other things, Hollywood â&#x20AC;&#x153;cannot demonstrate that it was intentionally treated diďŹ&#x20AC;erently than other casinosâ&#x20AC;? or that the Category 4 provision of the gaming expansion measure is unconstitutional.

DANCER FROM A3

with a laugh.

He wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really there to dance, anyway.

He wanted to meet girls.

He joined the U.S. Army Air Corps in the late 1930s and served in the South Pacific during World War II as a crew chief working on planes. He caught malaria during his service and was sent to Jacksonville, Florida, to recover, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where he met his wife, a Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Army Corps nurse named Margaret.

Once he was out of the service, Grumbine went to Penn State and earned a bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree in agricultural business, and he and Margaret married and had three children.

He had several jobs over the years, mainly in corporate administration, and though he was stuck behind a desk most of his workday, his daughters, Joanne Boyd and Penny Hornock, say he was very active and always moving when he got home. If he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t building something around the house, he was showing the kids how to do backflips in the front yard. These would usually be followed up with a grin and â&#x20AC;&#x153;the guns.â&#x20AC;?

It was several years after his wife passed away that Grumbine decided he would take up dancing. That was 18 years ago, and he hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t looked back.

For the last two years, he has been dancing with the same partner, Junko Wright, and she said she is constantly amazed by him. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He always looks so young when he dances,â&#x20AC;? she said.

When he dances, his cares and worries â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and even his age â&#x20AC;&#x201D; are all forgotten. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He reminds us to enjoy life,â&#x20AC;? Wright said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He gives us hope that we can enjoy life as long as we take care of ourselves and move.â&#x20AC;?

Sometimes thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all it takes. Movement.

Especially at 100. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I find there are times when I get sluggish and it tells me that I need to get on my exercise bike,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The longer I stay on, the better I feel.â&#x20AC;?

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the same with dancing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have the music, you have your dance partner, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing something in unison, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something you love to do,â&#x20AC;? he said.

And his advice to people of all ages? â&#x20AC;&#x153;My exercise bike and my dancing are my fountain of youth,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Move your body, move your mind, and get involved spiritually.â&#x20AC;?

U.S. to unveil ‘toughest’ sanctions to foil regime’s nuclear ambitions Japan News

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and U.S. Vice President Mike Pence confirmed on Wednesday that their two countries will continue to apply “maximum pressure” on North Korea, in cooperation with South Korea, to foil Pyongyang’s nuclear ambitions.

“We confirmed the necessity of using every possible means to increase pressure as much as possible through coordination between Japan and the United States, and between Japan, the United States and South Korea, to make North Korea change its policies,” Abe said at a joint press conference after talks with Pence in Tokyo.

Pence said, “The United States-Japan alliance is the cornerstone of peace, prosperity and freedom in the Indo-Pacific region.” The vice president arrived in Japan on Tuesday, making his second visit to Japan since April last year.

“The United States of America will soon unveil the toughest and most agressive round of economic sanctions on North Korea ever, and we will continue to isolate North Korea,” he said.

Abe also said he and Pence fully discussed issues related to North Korea, analyzing the latest information about the country and

exchanging opinions on what measures to implement.

North Korea has adopted a conciliatory stance ahead of the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, which are scheduled to start on Friday, but Abe stressed his resolve not to compromise over the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.

“I positively evaluate inter-Korea dialogue for a successful Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, but on the other hand, we have to look squarely at the fact that North Korea is relentlessly pursuing its nuclear and missile development programs,” Abe said.

“I agreed with Vice President Pence that a nuclear-armed North Korea can never be tolerated,” Abe said.

Pence said the U.S. delegation at the Games would be there to cheer its athletes, but “we’ll also be there to stand with our allies. And remind the world that North Korea is the most tyrannical and oppressive regime on the planet.”

At Wednesday’s news conference, Abe emphasized, “Under our deep relationship of trust with President Trump, the Japan-U.S. alliance is stronger than ever before.”

During bilateral talks in Tokyo in November last year, Abe and Trump agreed to increase pressure on North Korea by any means to the maximum.

“The United States of America will soon unveil the toughest and most agressive round of economic sanctions on North Korea ever, and we will continue to isolate North Korea.”

Vice President Mike Pence

The number of sexual assaults reported at the U.S. Military Academy roughly doubled during the last school year, according to data reviewed by the Associated Press, in the latest example of the armed forces’ persistent struggle to root out such misbehavior.

It’s the fourth year in a row that sexual assault reports increased at the school in West Point, New York. There were 50 cases in the school year that ended last summer, compared with 26 made during the 2015-16 school year. By comparison, the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland, and the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado, saw only slight increases.

Defense Department and West Point officials said the big jump at the Military Academy resulted from a concerted effort to encourage victims to come forward. But the dramatic and consistent increases may suggest more assaults are happening. “I’m very encouraged by the reporting,” Lt. Gen. Robert Caslen, superintendent at West Point, told the Associated Press in an interview. “I recognize that people are not going to understand” the desire for increased reporting, he said. But, he added, “I’ve got the steel stomach to take the criticism.”

The annual report on sexual assaults at the three military academies is due out this month. The Naval Academy’s reports increased to 29 last year from 28. The Air Force Academy’s edged up by one, to 33.

Military leaders have said that an increase in sexual assault reports is good because it shows that students are aware of treatment programs and showing confidence in the system. The overall goal, however, is more prevention, fewer assaults and effective help for victims.

WASHINGTON

WH official resigns amid abuse claims Josh Dawsey Washington Post

A senior White House official announced Wednesday he will resign following allegations by his two ex-wives of physical and emotional abuse.

The official, Rob Porter, served as the staff secretary and often controlled the paper flow to President Donald Trump’s desk, along with his daily schedule.

“These outrageous allegations are simply false. I took the photos given to the media nearly 15 years ago and the reality behind them is nowhere close to what is being described. I have been transparent and truthful about these vile claims, but I will not further engage publicly with a coordinated smear campaign,” Porter said in a statement.

The allegations against Porter by his ex-wives were first reported by the DailyMail.com. The news site on Wednesday posted pictured of his first wife, Colbie Holderness, with a bruised right eye, which she alleges was the result of Porter punching her during a trip to Florence in the early 2000s.

His second wife said she filed and received an emergency protective order against Porter.

Porter told the DailyMail.com that many of the accusations were false but declined to comment further.

LONDON

First modern Briton had dark skin, blue eyes Jennifer Hassan Washington Post

They call him Cheddar Man. He lived more than 10,000 years ago, had brown hair, blue eyes and “dark to black” skin. To the surprise of many, he is believed to have been the first modern Briton.

A new project from London’s Natural History Museum and University College London has revealed groundbreaking DNA results that give a much clearer image of early British inhabitants. Cheddar Man’s skeleton was discovered in 1903 in Gough’s Cave, located in Cheddar Gorge in Somerset, England. It is thought that the cool temperature in the cave helped to preserve the skeleton’s valuable DNA. “If the body was deposited in a good environment, where there was a cool and constant temperature, then the petrous bone is a good place to find useful ancient DNA,” said the Natural History Museum’s Selina Brace, who specializes in the study of ancient DNA. Scientists obtained DNA from Cheddar Man by drilling a 2-millimeter hole in his skull and extracting bone powder.

NUMBERS IN THE NEWS

Initially, it was assumed that the man, who died in his 20s, had pale skin, but new analysis and facial reconstruction have revealed quite the opposite. It is now believed that Cheddar Man’s ancestors arrived in Britain via the Middle East after leaving Africa.

“Cheddar Man is special because he represents the population occupying Europe at the time,” said Tom Booth, a bio-archaeologist at the museum. “They had dark skin, and most of them had pigmented eyes, either blue or green.” Data and software used in forensics gave Booth and the team a clearer understanding of Cheddar Man’s skin pigmentation and how dark it was.

Using 3-D printing, Adrie and Alfons Kennis were able to bring Cheddar Man to life. The model took several months to build and is described as “truly unique.” Experts say the ancestor was a Mesolithic hunter-gatherer who would have spent his days carving tools, fishing and hunting animals. It is believed that Cheddar Man is related to 1 in 10 people living across the United Kingdom today. (Booth also said that, ironically, Cheddar Man was lactose intolerant.)

Senate leaders cut budget deal The two-year agreement fails to address immigration issue; Pelosi calls for protection for â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Dreamersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Lisa Mascaro Tribune Washington Bureau

A sweeping t wo -yea r budget dea l announced by Senate leaders Wednesday promises to end the shutdown threats that have plagued Congress, but fails to address the nagging issue of immigration and will add to a deficit already ballooning due to the GOP tax cut plan.

Approval of the $300 billion bipartisan accord was not guaranteed, with votes expected Thursday. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said she would reject the deal unless Speaker Paul D. Ryan agrees to consider legislation to protect immigrant â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dreamersâ&#x20AC;? from deportation, as Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has done in the Senate.

But if passed, the deal, which would also lift the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s debt limit for a year, pushes ugly partisan fights over government spending well past the November midterm elections and theoretically allows Congress to focus on more substantive issues, like immigration and infrastructure. It would be the first multiyear, bipartisan budget deal reached since 2015.

Negotiators are hoping to include the accord in what would be the fifth â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and possibly final â&#x20AC;&#x201D; short-term continuing resolution of this fiscal year. That extension would fund the government past Thursdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deadline until March 23, after which legislation with funding at the new levels, a so-called omnibus bill, would need to be approved.

The agreement circumvents the strict budget caps imposed under a 2011 budget deal, and adds $57 billion in new spending equally to both defense and nondefense accounts through fiscal 2019, according to those familiar with the talks. Republicans have been pushing for the military increases, and Democrats insist on parity for domestic programs.

The result would be a boost to defense of about $80 billion each year beyond what the law allows, rising from $551 billion in fiscal 2017 to $647 billion by fiscal 2019. Nondefense accounts would increase by more than $60 billion, to $597 billion by 2019.

The package also includes $90 billion in supplemental disaster aid spending for hurricanes and wildfires that ravaged coastal and Western states, and Puerto Rico â&#x20AC;&#x201D; more than had been suggested earlier in a House

House Minority Leader Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and House Speaker Paul Ryan, R- Wis, attend a meeting with President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence Thursday in the Oval OďŹ&#x192;ce of the White House in Washington, D.C. Olivier Douliery, Abaca Press, TNS

bill but not as much as California and others sought.

Unlike the past agreements to avoid the steep sequester cuts in 2013 and 2015, the deal announced Wednesday would only be partially offset with spending reductions or new revenue elsewhere, making it a nonstarter for many conservative Republicans â&#x20AC;&#x201D; especially after the GOP tax package added nearly $1.5 trillion over the decade to deficits. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No one would suggest it is perfect, but we worked hard to find common ground,â&#x20AC;? said McConnell, R-Ky., adding that defense funds that will â&#x20AC;&#x153;ensure that for the first time in years our armed services have more of the resources they need to keep America safe.â&#x20AC;?

Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer, D-N.Y., touted many Democratic priorities, including a two-year extension of funding for Community Health Centers, a 10-year extension of funding for the Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Health Insurance Program and money to fight the opioid drug crisis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This budget deal is the first real sprout of bipartisanship,â&#x20AC;? Schumer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have reached a budget deal that neither side loves

but both sides can be proud of. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s compromise. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s governing.â&#x20AC;?

Pelosiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opposition, though, thrusts the immigration debate back into the budget standoff, much the way President Donald Trump did Tuesday when he said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d â&#x20AC;&#x153;love to see a shutdownâ&#x20AC;? if his immigration priorities, such as a border wall and limits on legal immigration, were not part of the budget package. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The budget caps agreement includes many Democratic priorities,â&#x20AC;? Pelosi said Wednesday. But after surveying the Democratic caucus, she said the absence of immigration legislation was a deal breaker for some members.

Pelosi wants Ryan to commit â&#x20AC;&#x201D; as McConnell did last month as part of the deal to end the three-day government shutdown â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to consider bipartisan measures to protect the immigrant Dreamers as Trump ends their program. She seized the House floor in a rare filibuster-like speech that dragged on for hours Wednesday to share stories of Dreamers.

The Senate is expected to launch an immigration debate in a matter of days, as soon as

the shutdown threat is averted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Without a commitment from Speaker Ryan comparable to the commitment from Leader McConnell, this package does not have my support,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Ryan, however, has made no such commitment on Dreamers, stoking concerns that any immigration bill would simply languish in the House.

The immigration debate drove the shutdown last month, as Democrats pushed McConnell to agree to prioritize the issue, but it had not been part of more recent budget negotiations, despite Trumpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nudging.

Pelosiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s support for the budget deal will be vital because Ryan will almost certainly not be able to pass spending increases over objections from his conservative flank, including the Freedom Caucus, without relying on Democratic votes.

The accord includes $20 billion in new infrastructure spending on transportation, rural broadband and safe drinking water systems, as well as $5.8 billion for child care block grants, $4 billion to rebuild Veterans AďŹ&#x20AC;airs hospitals and clinics and $2 billion for research at the National Institutes of Health, according to those familiar with the details.

It also creates a new Joint Select Committee that is tasked with developing a legislative solution to shore up faltering employer pensions by December.

Dreamers, immigrants who came to the U.S. illegally as children, risk deportation as Trump ends a program that has allowed them to apply to live and work here. The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program was set to end March 5, but a court challenge is allowing it to continue for now.

Lawmakers in both parties say they want to protect the Dreamers as part of a broader immigration bill that would include border security and perhaps other measures, and they believe a bipartisan deal would easily pass both chambers.

However, Ryan is under pressure from conservatives in his majority to stand by his earlier promise not to consider immigration legislation unless it is supported by most of the House Republican majority.

More recently, Ryan has said he would consider legislation that Trump supports, but the presidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own shifting views on immigration have made a legislative deal diďŹ&#x192;cult. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Speaker Ryan has already repeatedly stated we intend to do a DACA and immigration reform bill â&#x20AC;&#x201D; one that the president supports,â&#x20AC;? said spokeswoman AshLee Strong.

Bipartisan groups in Congress continue to meet to strike a deal as the Senate prepares to open debate.

The YWCA began managing Suits to Careers Inc./Dress for Success of South Central Pennsylvania last week. All programs, services and hours have remained the same. The president of the board of directors of Suits to Careers Inc./Dress for Success transitioned onto the YWCA board of directors. A separate advisory board for Suits to Careers Inc./Dress for Success is being established.

Suits to Careers provides midstate residents with an interview suit to prepare them for networking events, job fairs and interviews, as well as additional outfits upon obtaining employment.

Suits to Careers has a boutique at 29 S. 10th St. in Harrisburg and has a mobile unit that travels to Adams, Cumberland, Lebanon, Perry and York counties.

Driving up prices Why a new trucking regulation can be the reason the cost of produce at the grocery store is going up Greg Trotter Chicago Tribune

Shoppers could see grocery prices rise because of a new federal mandate requiring most long-distance truckers to use electronic logging devices to keep track of their time spent driving.

Some truckers are experiencing difficulties and delays as they switch from paper logbooks to the devices, which plug into a truck’s engine. Proponents argue the devices, which have been required for most truckers since last December, keep drivers more honest about their driving time and therefore make the highways safer.

But those delays mean truckers aren’t covering as much distance or making the same number of runs as before, driving up the cost of produce coming from California, Arizona and Florida, according to longtime produce wholesalers.

And those price hikes eventually will be passed on to consumers, they say.

“You’ve created this whole logistical nightmare and for what? Why?” said Peter Testa, president of Testa Produce.

Prior to electronic logging devices, truckers recorded their hours manually in a paper logbook. Although they were still bound by federal limits on the number of hours they could drive, the paper logs gave truckers more flexibility in how they recorded hours.

For example, a driver stuck in a traffic jam or otherwise delayed might not have recorded that as driving time. Or a trucker close to the 11-hour driving limit allowed under federal law might have gone a little farther to find a safe place to park. Though such practices weren’t technically legal, the paper logs allowed drivers to use their own judgment to balance the interests of safety and business.

But the electronic devices hold drivers to a more rigid compliance with hours-of-service regulations, which federal regulators and law enforcement officials say is needed to prevent fatigued driving. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration estimates the devices will eliminate 1,844 crashes, prevent 562 injuries and save 26 lives annually.

Time will tell if those numbers prove true, but the mandate’s

already affecting local businesses.

Wholesalers say they’ve had to pay significantly more for produce, though factors like a holiday surge in demand and high diesel prices also likely contributed.

For one grocery chain in the Chicago area, truckloads of produce from Mexico have roughly doubled in cost since the new devices were mandated — from about $2,400 for 40,000 pounds of produce to more than $5,000, said produce buyer Kenneth Moore. Grocers have been able to absorb much of those costs, but the company’s had to mark up items like bananas and lettuce, for example, by 20 cents, Moore said.

“When you’re talking $3 to $4 more a box (of produce), that really has an impact on retailers,” Moore said.

Some in the trucking industry have concerns that drivers who are delayed by the devices may end up driving faster — even if they’re not speeding — in order to make up lost ground and find safe parking before the end of their allotted driving time under federal hours-of-service rules.

The underlying rules for driving time haven’t changed, just the tool for measuring compliance.

Truckers can drive no more than 11 hours in a 14-hour period of time, followed by at least 10 hours of mandatory rest, according to federal regulations. The electronic device mandate was part of a transportation reauthorization bill signed into law by President Barack Obama in 2012.

A 2014 study commissioned by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, the agency that oversees commercial driving regulations, found that trucks equipped with electronic monitoring saw a 12 percent reduction in total crash rate and a 5 percent reduction in preventable crash rate. The study, based on data from 11 carriers, also found a 53 percent reduction in violations of the hours-of-service rules.

But that data is disputed by the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association, a smaller trucking trade group that’s opposed to the devices. The group concluded that the study’s sample skewed toward larger carriers and therefore wasn’t representative of most truckers. The study also established no link between fatigue-related crashes and the use of the electronic devices, the group said.

Controversy over the devices is bringing to light needed changes in the underlying hours-of-service regulations to allow drivers more flexibility in determining when they rest, Illinois Trucking Association group executive director Matt Hart said.

“At the end of the day, drivers know best when to get some rest — not some bureaucrat in D.C.,” Hart said.

Turkey Hill chain, others to be sold to British firm The owner of Turkey Hill Minit Markets is planning to sell its convenience store business to a British company.

The Kroger Co., based in Cincinnati, Ohio, announced Monday it would sell Turkey Hill and other convenience store brands to EG Group, a privately-held petrol convenience store retailer based in Blackburn, Lancashire, U.K. The sale price is $2.15 billion, and the sale is expected to be finalized in the first quarter of Kroger’s fiscal year.

Kroger’s convenience store business operates in 18 states and includes 66 franchise operations. The stores employ 11,000 under these store names: Turkey Hill, Loaf ‘N Jug, Kwik Shop, Tom Thumb and Quik Stop.

EG Group will establish a North American headquarters in Cincinnati and continue to operate the stores under their established names.

YORK COUNTY

Glatfelter exploring sale of specialty paper business P. H. Glatfelter paper is exploring sale of its specialty papers business, including its York County plant.

In its fourth quarter earnings report, Dante C. Parrini, chairman and chief executive officer, said the board of directors have “decided to explore a range of potential strategic alternatives for Specialty Papers.”

That includes potential sale of the business unit, with locations in Spring Grove, which has just over 750 employees.

“This was not an easy decision, especially given the strong heritage of Specialty Papers and the long-standing relationships with our communities,” said a statement from Beck.

The earnings report says specialty papers’ net sales decreased $14.1 million, or 6.9 percent, as its markets continued to be impacted by a supply-demand imbalance resulting in lower selling prices of $4 million.

Specialty Papers’ operating income totaled $3.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2017, compared with $13.3 million the same period a year ago.

P. H. Glatfelter is the 17th largest employer in York County, according to the Economic Alliance. — Barbara Miller, bmiller@pennlive.com

CAPE CANAVERAL, FLA.

SpaceX launches big new rocket; lands 2 boosters SpaceX’s big new rocket has blasted off on its first test flight, carrying a red sports car on an endless road trip past Mars.

The Falcon Heavy rocket blasted off Tuesday afternoon from the same Florida launch pad used by NASA nearly 50 years ago to send men to the moon. With liftoff, the Heavy became the most powerful rocket in use today. Its three boosters and 27 engines roared to life at Kennedy Space Center.

Not only did the rocket lift a red sports car into orbit — with a dummy “Starman” at the wheel — two of the three boosters came back and landed upright at Cape Canaveral. The 15-story boosters landed at the same time, side by side.

The third booster was promised to touch down on a floating platform 300 miles offshore, but there was no immediate news on the results. — Associated Press CHINA

full potential outside of our business,” said Mike Schlotman, Kroger’s executive vice president and chief financial officer.

“One of the most important considerations in our decision-making process was continued operations to ensure minimal disruption to our associates. We are very pleased the EG Group plans to establish their North American headquarters in Cincinnati. EG Group is also a recognized international petrol forecourt convenience operator and they have a commercial model which clearly looks to enhance the consumer offer by working with leading retail brands customers know and trust,” Schlotman said.

Kroger plans to use net proceeds from the sale to repurchase shares and to lower its net total debt.

Kroger’s convenience store business generated $4 billion in revenue in 2016, including selling 1.2 billion gallons of fuel.

Kroger’s supermarket fuel centers and its Turkey Hill Dairy are not included in the sale.

Mercedes apologizes for quoting Dalai Lama in ad The latest instance of a foreign company offending Chinese consumers began with a seemingly benign Instagram post.

Mercedes-Benz, the German luxury car manufacturer, posted an image on the social media site Monday of a white coupe parked on the beach, just out of reach of the frothy waves behind it.

“Look at situations from all angles, and you will become more open,” a quote superimposed on the photo read. The quote was attributed to the Dalai Lama and appended with #MondayMotivation, a popular hashtag that surfaces at the start of each workweek.

Underneath the photo was the line: “Start your week with a fresh perspective on life from the Dalai Lama.”

Within hours, angry Chinese Instagram users had flooded Mercedes-Benz’s account to express outrage that the automaker had quoted the spiritual leader of Tibet in a post that appeared in their feeds.

Outside China, the 82-year-old Dalai Lama is among the world’s most popular figures. The Chinese Communist Party, however, considers him a political agitator.

The number of unemployed workers applying for jobless benefits has edged lower this year.

Applications for unemployment aid fell two weeks ago to a seasonally adjusted 230,000, the latest sign that the job market is robust. Economists expect the Labor Department will report today that jobless aid applications rose slightly last week to 235,000.

A weekly tally below 300,000 is considered historically low.

Economic conditions remain strong but there may be volatility ahead. And volatility is normal, says Brad McMillan, chief investment officer for Commonwealth Financial Network. He says we are simply out of practice watching the market go down, which makes those one-day drops scarier.

So would a correction be a bad thing? Not necessarily.

Corrections are common during bull markets. This is the second-longest bull market on record, so some experts say we are overdue. And it might help normalize stock prices, which by many measures are considered expensive.

It’s a term that has been bandied about a lot recently — correction.

What is it exactly? A correction happens when a stock, bond, commodity or index declines 10 percent from a recent peak.

The Dow Jones industrial average on Tuesday briefly fell 10 percent below its most recent record. But most market watchers wait until the market has closed for the day before declaring an official correction. As of Tuesday’s close, the Dow, Standard & Poor’s 500 and Nasdaq have not fallen enough to be called a correction.

Stephen K. Snyder

Robin A. Flenner, 52, of Camp Hill, PA and formerly of Wilmington, DE, passed away on Saturday, February 3, 2018. She succumbed to a very aggressive form of cancer that struck quickly. Robin was the ultimate Supermom and will be dearly missed by her husband, Alan, and their children Jacob and Jenna.

She started a professional career in banking with J.P. Morgan in Wilmington and later worked with BISYS and the Pennsylvania Bankers Association after relocating to the Harrisburg area.

Robin reconnected with Alan in Wilmington upon meeting him by chance while he was home on leave from the Navy. Robin became a Navy wife and supported Alanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s military career through his retirement from service as a Captain in the Navy Reserve. She kept the home fires burning and the children at ease during the many times Alan was away from home on duty. Robin also supported Alanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second career as an attorney.

Robin was devoted to her children doing everything she could to prepare them for a good and successful life. She encouraged their many activities and served in volunteer positions in their schools and organizations. She was particularly active as a treasurer for Jacobâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Boy Scout troop and with the familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s neighborhood association. As last gestures of love before their motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s passing, Jacob placed an Eagle Scout Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pin on Robinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hospital gown and Jenna flawlessly completed a dance performance at the ZETEO youth retreat.

In addition to her husband and children, Robin is survived by her mother, Carol Hubben, four brothers and a sister, and their families, her mother in-law, Janet Flenner, and a large extended family. She was predeceased by her father Klaus Hubben. She was particularly fond of her late grandparents Donald and Doris Stitzer.

Rare condition won’t keep 10-year-old from Eagles’ parade today John Beauge For PennLive

Inside

A ra re genetic muscle disorder will not keep Giovanni Hamilton from being among the millions at today’s parade celebrating the Philadelphia Eagles Super Bowl victory.

“He is so excited,” his mother Shannon Algarin said Wednesday.

She has dyed his hair green and they have prepared a sign that states: “I always believed. Fly Eagles Fly.” The parade will cap six weeks of Eagles events for the 10-year-old Williamsport fourth-grader who is afflicted with Schwartz Jampel syndrome.

Those activities included a Christmas Eve phone call from several of the coaches and players, an invitation to the final regular season game, an opportunity to play catch with quarterback Nick Foles and now the parade.

G et t i n g h i m to t he parade was a promise his mother made to herself after the Eagles defeated the New England Patriots.

Money for the family of five is tight because of Giovanni’s medical bills, so she sought to raise $300 for the trip on youcaring.com.

More than $1,000 was raised in less than 2 4 hours, she said.

The extra money will enable Giovanni to buy souvenirs, Algarin said.

She, her husband Gian, and their two other children, Dominic Hamilton, 12, and Giuliana Algarin, 6, will be with Giovanni.

He will be in a wheelchair because he cannot walk far, she said.The hope is to get as close as possible to the Art Museum, where the formal celebration is to begin, she said.

Algarin has posted on social media a picture of

her son with his green hair.

Maybe one of the Eagles will see the post, know he will be a parade spectator and look for him, she said.

Asked how long Giovanni had been an Eagles fan, his mother said “he was born into it.” She said that she and her husband also are big Eagles fans.

The invitation to the Dec. 31 Dallas game came about because Giovanni is a member of the Lentil’s Kids Club in Philadelphia.

The mission of the club, named for a French bulldog with a cleft palate, is to raise awareness for those with craniofacial differences.

A club leader learned Giovanni was an Eagles fan and got the word to quarterback coach John DeFilippo.

DeFilippo, head coach D ou g P e der s on , Fole s , injured quarterback Carson Wentz and backup QB Nate Sudfeld extended the Dallas game invitation in a Christmas Eve phone call.

“I couldn’t believe they (players and coaches) took five minutes out of their time,” Algarin said.

They got to t he Da llas game early and he was allowed on the field, where he played catch with Foles.

Schwartz Jampel syndrome is characterized by permanent muscle stiffness and bone abnormalities known as chondrodysplasia. He was born with it, his mother said.

His muscles constantly contract. His left hip and elbows are dislocated and his right hip was reconstructed in 2016, she said.

He has had 10 surgeries, she said. Giovanni was featured on the TV show “Two in a Million” when he was 7.

Feds to help combat spotted lanternfly Paul Vigna pvigna@pennlive.com

The f ight to control the spread of the spotted lanternfly, which has the potential to cripple Pennsylvania’s hardwood and fruit industries has received a double-barreled shot of good news.

It started with Gov. Tom Wolf’s request during his budget address Tuesday for $1.6 million in dedicated funding for the state Department of Agriculture to continue trying to control the pest, which was found in Berks County in 2014 and has spread throughout eastern Pennsylvania and into other states.

That request still has to be approved by the state Legislature.

A little more than 24 hours later, U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue announced $17.5 million in emergency funding to stop the spread of the spotted lanternfly in Pennsylvania, considered the state most affected and threatened.

This is not connected to the request made Jan. 18 by the Pennsylvania House delegation seeking to secure $20 million to

$40 million to use in trying to eradicate the spotted lanternfly.

The emergency funding, which was made available through existing Commodity Credit Corp. balances, will allow for a two-pronged a p p r o a c h w it h U S DA’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service managing the outer perimeter of the infestation and the state’s Department of Agriculture focusing on a 3-mile perimeter surrounding the core infested area. In addition to emergency activities in Pennsylvania, APHIS will use existing resources to conduct surveys, and control measures if necessary, in Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, New York and Virginia.

Currently, the Pennsylvania Agriculture Department has placed a quarantine on 13 counties — including Berks, Schuylkill, Montgomery, Lancaster, Lehigh, Lebanon, Northampton, Chester and Philadelphia — to stop the insect from spreading.

One of the hardest-hit fruits have been grapes, with several vineyard managers and winery owners in Berks County reporting considerable damage to vines in 2017.

The insect feeds on and ultimately kills grapevines.

The Nunes memo revealed a critical omission Hugh Hewitt

First lady Melania Trump arrives before the State of the Union address to a joint session of Congress on Capitol Hill in Washington last week. J. Scott Applewhite, Associated Press

It’s time for Melania to start using her platform Petula Dvorak

Washington Post

Nope, ladies. No more mulligans for Melania.

Thanks to recent revelations of an alleged affair her husband had years ago, a bipartisan sisterhood is coming to the first lady’s side. She has been defended and protected. Even a “Saturday Night Live” skit over the weekend gave her the closest thing to sympathy that merciless crew can muster.

The truth is, Melania Trump is not a delicate flower or a victim. She is a grown woman, an immigrant who made it in a cutthroat industry.

She is capable of tackling tough issues, of respecting the responsibility and opportunity she’s been given.

And yet — she hasn’t.

America deserves better.

Women say we shouldn’t focus on her clothing (like when she wore stilettos to visit Texas after a hurricane); they say it’s not right to criticize her for not smiling (the fallen face behind Trump’s back at the inauguration); and there’s the old “women-have-been-criticized-enough-for-their choices” chorus after she waited so long to move to Washington.

There are the hopeful women trying to find encrypted feminist messages embedded in her movements, her clothing, her rare public statements.

If all of this was true, if our first lady believes that women should not be grabbed by the genitals by powerful men, if she believes that cyberbullying is a danger, if she believes that all of humanity should never forget the lessons of the Holocaust, and if she believes that the suffragists were righteous in their fight for equal rights — then she needs to say it. Out loud.

She has one of the most powerful platforms in the country, the world. And she can do so much good with that. People will listen to her.

This isn’t the 1820s, and Trump has no need to be like the only other foreign-born first lady, Louisa Adams.

They’re similar. Adams didn’t go willingly into public life and made no secret of her resentment over her husband’s presidential victory. She spent her summers apart from John Quincy Adams.

Eventually, quietly, after reading some of the early writings about women’s rights and equality, Louisa Adams wrote plays and poems that skewered her husband in the kind of thinly veiled references so many feminists want from

Trump.

Those days should be behind American women.

It’s an honor, a privilege and a platform, this position of first lady.

Even before Eleanor Roosevelt set a new standard for the influence and input as a first lady by holding regular radio chats, advocating for civil rights and working to help the unemployed, earlier first ladies used their power for good.

Grace Coolidge advocated for people with disabilities and raised $2 million for a school for the deaf. Nellie Taft hired African American men to work at the White House.

The beloved Dolley Madison was fiercely involved in local charities.

Pat Nixon set a precedent as first lady as the first to visit a combat zone. Betty Ford advocated for treatment of substance abuse, breast cancer awareness and the Equal Rights Amendment. Libraries, mental health, the environment, education, literacy, obesity, health care — first ladies worked to make a meaningful impact on all of these issues.

Trump has given us possible smoke signals and one reading of a Dr. Seuss book. In exchange, the taxpayers have subsidized her complicated life and travels.

Trump isn’t bound by the days when women weren’t allowed to vote, weren’t welcome into Congress, weren’t expected to learn, to think and to speak.

She has an open door, an on-ramp and a public ready to hear from her.

She owes it to America and especially to American women to use that power.

Let’s go back to Adams to offer Trump some inspiration.

After her subversive poems, plays and quiet protests, Adams blossomed. She became one of the first women to attend congressional hearings. She went on to become a fierce and vocal abolitionist.

By the time of her death on May 15, 1852, she was so respected for her work and for her voice, both houses of Congress adjourned in mourning, making her the first woman whose death was recognized in such a way by the federal government.

It’s time for Melania Trump to be more than a blank slate on which women project their fears. She owes that to her country.

Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy is yours — for a price Dahleen Glanton

Chicago Tribune

Everyone seems to be blaming Dodge for desecrating the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy in order to sell Ram trucks during the Super Bowl game. But the automobile company didn’t do it alone.

The slain civil rights leader’s sons had a hand in it too.

So when we’re tossing out criticism for folks trying to make a buck off King’s memory, we can’t stop with the company responsible for the ad, which is actually Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, owner of the brands Dodge and Ram. Still, we’ve got to look at King’s kids and wonder, “What were they thinking?”

With racial tensions higher than most Americans have seen in their lifetime, the last thing we needed was a commercial implying that King would have been telling people that in order to be great, they should go out and buy a truck that can cost more than $30,000.

Not only did Ram disgrace King’s name by running the commercial, King’s children disrespected their father’s memory by allowing it to happen.

As caretakers of their father’s estate, Dexter King and Martin Luther King III had to clear the way for the executor to give Ram the go-ahead to use excerpts from their father’s little-known sermon, “The Drum Major Instinct.” And they likely were paid a hefty sum for it.

Shortly after the ad ran Sunday night, Bernice King, who has been at odds with her brothers for years over profiting from their father’s legacy, made it clear that neither she nor the King Center had anything to do with the ad.

As CEO of the King Center, Bernice King

The Ram truck ad that used a speech by Martin Luther King, Jr., is drawing a backlash.

The ad shows people doing service-oriented tasks set against audio of a King speech.

Ram Truck Brand via Associated Press

cannot afford to alienate donors whose private gifts keep the nonprofit center founded by her mother, Coretta Scott King, going.

Based on the backlash on social media, lots of people are livid that Ram used King’s voice in a speech about greatness as if he were talking about a Ram truck.

Clearly, anyone involved with allowing this ad to make its way before one of television’s biggest audiences must have been brain-dead.

Or plain money-hungry.

It isn’t hard to figure out why Ram might have thought this was a good idea. The ad begins by stating that it is the 50th anniversary of the sermon King delivered at Ebenezer Baptist Church on Feb. 4, 1968, two months before he was assassinated.

In some warped way, the executives might have thought they could get away with hawking their top-selling truck under the guise of paying tribute to King.

In fact, in the sermon used by the commercial, King spoke about people driving around Cadillacs and Chryslers they can’t afford as a way to stroke their egos.

It is possible that the folks at Ram weren’t as tone-deaf as they appear. Maybe they knew what they were doing and decided that it was worth the risk. Only the Americans who buy the company’s trucks will determine whether the risk pays off.

But the King children, that’s another matter.

For years, the three surviving siblings have been engaged in a public battle over how their father’s legacy should be handled. They have guarded his intellectual properties like pit bulls, making sure that no one ripped them off without paying a steep price. In 2006 alone, King’s heirs picked up $32 million by selling a trove of documents.

The siblings have been criticized a lot for that.

Some have argued that the children have a right to profit off their father’s legacy. The Rev. King died a pauper, without a will. He had nothing of financial value to leave his young children other than the rights to his speeches, his medals and his writings.

But with those holdings come a requirement to use them responsibly.

King often talked about the insignificance of material things.

Had the King sons failed to protect their father’s properties, King’s most notable speeches would, no doubt, have been used for any commercial venture to exploit for money. The family now shamelessly gets a cut for joining in that exploitation.

Washington Post

Having reviewed hundreds and hundreds of Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrant applications as the final stop between the FBI and the desks of Attorneys General William French Smith and Edwin Meese III, I read the Nunes memo as revealing one major fact that stands out above all other revelations: The FISA warrant for surveillance on Carter Page (and the three subsequent renewals of the warrant) omitted a material fact.

While the FBI admitted that the information came from a politically motivated source, the bureau did not disclose that the source had been financed by Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign. That is a damning omission.

My job reviewing those warrants existed because prior to the establishment of a National Security Division at the Justice Department, a special assistant to the attorney general with the appropriate clearances had the job of making sure the attorney general did not sign off on a warrant application that got bounced back from the FISA court.

Such a rejection had never happened before I got there, didn’t happen while it was my job and has happened only a handful of times since. That record is in large part because of trust developed between the FISA courts and the FBI and Justice Department over decades, especially the respect accorded the counterintelligence professionals at the bureau.

That trust has now been injured.

Upon publication of the Nunes memo, a retired federal judge emailed me: “There is not an officer of the court in the land who in the context of this particular application to the FISA court should not have identified the source of the information as having been the (Democratic National Committee) and the Clinton Campaign.

If I had granted the application and then subsequently learned that the information was sourced to the DNC and the Campaign, I would have rescinded the authorization and issued a show-cause order to the Government to explain who and why this sourcing was not made known to the court.

The fact (if it be that) that the Government told the court that it was a political source, but did not identify who, in this particular instance, is highly probative that the Government purposely misled the court.”

The FISA court to which the application was made might well have issued the warrant even if it knew the provenance of the intelligence. We will never know. But the non-disclosure was a breach of trust, and it will have long-term consequences for the warrant application process.

That an omission of a material fact occurred in the warrant application does not indict former FBI Director James Comey or any of the other reviewing or approving officials up to and including Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein.

Staffs exist to prepare and review these applications, to search for just such a crucial omission or false assertion.

As noted above, there are hundreds of these warrants flowing through the bureau up to the attorney general in any given year. The numbers have doubled or tripled these days in the age of metastasizing terrorism and cybercrime To expect the nation’s top cop or its top law enforcement officer to read and carefully review even the least important applications is to expect too much of overwhelmingly burdened key players.

But if the omission was specifically discussed and approved by a senior official, then there should be accountability. What was the preparing case officer thinking?

What was anyone thinking who reviewed it and noticed the missing specificity?

They should be thinking like a corporate lawyer reviewing a Securities and Exchange Commission filing on behalf of a publicly traded company. Material omissions or misstatements in those filings also go by the name of “fraud.”

Imagine a public company declaring an income stream is flowing, but not noting that it is coming from sketchy factories that may not be compliant with labor standards, reports of which have come to the attention of the company and which are being investigated. It’s highly unlikely that investors or the SEC would be very forgiving of an initial public offering that left out facts as important as what was omitted from this warrant application.

“Trump torque” is pulling on everyone in the news business, in all directions. His critics are often overheated and refuse to admit accomplishments or unprofessional hits. His defenders almost scream best-case scenarios that are ludicrous and ignore his errors, missteps and misstatements. It’s harder and harder to keep this torque from twisting every single story in one direction or another.

It shouldn’t operate anywhere but especially not in the area of national security.

The non-disclosure of a material fact in an application for a FISA warrant — its minimization, indeed one could argue its camouflaging — is a very big deal and its provenance should be thoroughly investigated.

It’s not about President Donald Trump, or shouldn’t be.

It’s about when American courts approve surveillance of Americans. And that’s every American’s concern.

Gerrymandering has divided the communities of the 7th congressional district in Montgomery and Chester counties. The district incorporates most of Delaware County and portions of Chester, Montgomery, Berks and Lancaster counties. Dan Gleiter, PennLive

said.

It w a s n o t i m m e d i ately clear what that would accomplish, though it might presage an attempt to reach a negotiated map that could be presented to the court as a preferred solution. Attempts to reach other GOP leadership sources were not successful.

Democrats at the state Capitol, meanwhile, said Wednesday that they had not received any fresh overtures from GOP leadership to talk about the Congressional map.

“We’re certainly willing to talk with whoever wants to talk about maps,” said Paul Parsells, chief of staff to House Minority Leader Frank Dermody, D-Allegheny County.

“And we’re prepared to offer maps (to the court), if necessary.”

Neither Wolf’s office nor Senate Minority Leader Jay Costa, D-Allegheny County, said they had heard from top Republicans about collaborating on a bipartisan product. “ The governor’s been clear about what he wants,” said press secretary J.J. Abbott. “We’re ready to review something and determine whether it’s fair.”

A bill that could provide the template for new boundaries for the state’s 18 House districts is in the state House and at least two session days away from getting a final passage vote.

Language describing the corrective map would have to be added in by amendment.

Today’s civic celebration of the Philadelphia Eagles’ first NFL championship since 1960 is also complicating schedules, so it was

unclear last night if either chamber would be reconvening this week.

All in all, there was a change in tone from Tuesday, when it seemed like there was some momentum for an attempt to produce a bill in compliance with the court’s order.

On Tuesday, Crompton had said, “Our belief, in consult with lawyers and others, is that it’s better for us if we draw a map than if we don’t.

So that’s our intention.”

A nd , a fe w p o s s ible parameters for new maps had begun to emerge.

Crompton sa id T ue sday that one factor Senate Republicans are very concerned about is trying to produce more compact districts while minimizing the number of voters who find themselves in new districts.

“There’s something to be said for the least amount of disruption that you can cause for voters. So we’re looking at that issue as well and trying to incorporate that into any proposal that we might support.”

He could not, as of Tuesday afternoon, provide a ma x i mu m t h re shold of voter switches the Senate GOP is seeking, but he said that analysis will be done on every map that “we are serious about.”

In the vein of “limiting disruption,” it also appears the GOP majorities will try to avoid pitting the 12 Congressional incumbents who are intending to seek re-election this year against one another.

And, it appears likely state officials will work to preserve the existing “minority-majority” district in Philadelphia, currently represented

by U.S. Rep. Dwight Evans.

reject the bill.

If no map comes through the legislative process, the majority has said, it would impose a map itself.

Wednesday’s opinion, however, emphasized the latter date, stating the court would act only “if the General Assembly and the governor did not enact a remedial plan by Feb. 15.”

Another way that the court’s initial timeline could be extended, if all parties agreed, would be a change in the May 15 primary date.

Wolf administration officials had previously said the election date could be pushed back several weeks without affecting preparations for the November general election.

But agreement was hard to find Wednesday.

“Because of the reckless delay of this opinion it will be very difficult to have a piece of legislation completed before Friday,” Drew Crompton, chief of staff to Senate President Pro Tempore Joe Scarnati, R-Jefferson County, said via email.

“I would never have fathomed that the Court would give the General Assembly 18 days to finish its assignment all the while holding its opinion for 16 of them.

We will continue to review the opinions to determine whether there is a viable federal court action in light of the court’s position and the proposed remedy.”

Another possibility is that Scarnati and House Speaker Mike Turzai, R-Allegheny County — the Legislature’s presiding officers — would sign a document containing new congressional boundaries and deliver it to Wolf by the deadline, without bringing it to a vote, Crompton

MAPS to deliver a plan to Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf.

In its order, the four justices in the majority said the current map — in effect for U.S. House elections here since 2012 — violated the “free and equal elections” clause of the state Constitution by “diluting” the power of Democrats’ votes.

The plaintiffs in the case, which only applies to the 18 House seats, are a group registered Democratic voters from around the state.

“A diluted vote is not an equal vote, as all voters do not have an equal opportunity to translate their votes into representation,” the opinion penned by Justice Debra Todd stated. “This is the antithesis of a healthy representative democracy.”

The majority also said it had no problem getting to that result despite the fact that most federal courts, to date, have thus far not been able to define how much partisan gerrymandering is too much.

Opting for an admittedly broad interpretation of the state elections clause, the justices found that any suppression of equal participation by voters in elections is a violation of the clause.

And from there, they concluded, that is exactly what has happened with Pennsylvania’s Information Age gerrymandering.

Grabbing from pictures on the page and the new troves of data developed by political scientists that tend to prove how effective the culling of voters along party lines was, Todd wrote: “Such a plan, aimed at achieving unfair partisan gain (in the state’s Congressional delegation), undermines voters’ ability to exercise their vote in free and ‘equal’ elections if the term is to be interpreted in any credible way.”

Instead, the court said, factors like geographic compactness, keeping cities with their surrounding metro areas and minimizing splits of counties and municipalities into multiple districts are neutral benchmarks that can not be subordinate to other factors like protection of incumbents.

The arrival of the opinion, albeit 17 days after the initial 4-3 order requiring a new map was issued, clears one barrier that Republican legislative leaders who control the General Assembly’s agenda had complained was impairing their ability to act.

It might also give them a little more time, should they need it.

The original court order asked the General Assembly to send a plan to Wolf by Friday, with the governor then having until Feb. 15 to sign or

The redistricting case arose from a lawsuit filed last summer by 18 registered Democratic voters and the League of Women Voters of Pennsylvania, who alleged that partisan cutting of the Congressional lines after the 2010 census amounted to “viewp oi nt d i s c r i m i n a t ion” against Democratic voters.

In a December trial, they presented evidence that a series of 500 maps built on traditional redistricting principles and past vote counts never replicated the current 13 Republican, five Democrat split in Pennsylvania’s Congressional delegation.

Defenders of the 2011 map — drafted by a Republican-controlled General Assembly and then-Gov. Tom Corbett — have said it checks all Constitutional requirements, and argued the Democrat plaintiffs are simply seeking guarantees of proportional representation that do not exist.

The court’s majority, however, held Wednesday that far from making a reckless power grab, they were honoring Pennsylvania’s longstanding tradition of representative democracy.

“The people of this commonwealth should never lose sight of the fact that, in its protection of our essential rights, our founding document is the ancestor, not the offspring, of the federal Constitution,” wrote Justice Todd, who also noted that the state’s elections clause has no direct parallel in the federal document.

Notably, all were elected to the courts as Democrats.

Justice Max Baer joined in the finding of unconstitutionality on the current maps, but dissented on the proposed remedy, arguing in part: “Respectfully, the circumstances at present do not make it ‘necessary’ for this court to formulate a redistricting plan for the impending 2018 elections.

“Instead, the unambiguous grant of redistricting authority to the state legislature under... the federal constitution mandates judicial restraint to allow a legislature a reasonable period of time — which should be measured in months rather than weeks — to redistrict following a determination of unconstitutionality by a court.”

Chief Justice Thomas Saylor and Justice Sally Mundy, both elected as Republicans, dissented on both the finding of unconstitutionality and the order to remedy in 2018.

When does Lent start?

Doritos for women

Good for the royals

Lent, the period of time between Ash Wednesday and Easter where Christians focus on spiritual purification, meditation and penance, is set to begin on Feb. 14.

The day before Ash Wednesday, known as Shrove Tuesday, is traditionally a day of celebration before the fasting begins.

PepsiCo chief executive Indra Nooyi told the Freakonomics podcast that Doritos, which is owned by PepsiCo, is developing a chip for women. The future chip will be “low-crunch, the full taste profile, not have so much of the flavor stick on the fingers.”

The classic Scandinavian design of Ikea is hard to resist. During their visit to Sweden, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge — Prince William and Kate Middleton — revealed that they had opted for Ikea furniture in their children’s bedrooms at Kensington Palace.

FEATURE FILMS Peter Rabbit (James Corden) with Mr. McGregor (Domhnall Gleeson) in Columbia Pictures’ “Peter Rabbit.” Sony Pictures

‘Peter Rabbit’ has gorgeous animation, violent mayhem ‘Peter Rabbit’

Katie Walsh Tribune News Service

Peter Rabbit, the mischievous and adventurous hero who has captured generations of readers now becomes the star of his own irreverent comedy. Directed by Will Gluck and starring James Corden, Domhnall Gleeson, Rose Byrne, Sam Neill.

Hollywood studios have recently been pillaging the literary canon of beloved children’s literature, digging up fodder for animated feature films. The best of these, like the “Paddington” movies, successfully meld nostalgia with modern and exciting filmmaking, while the more questionable ones, like the recent “Ferdinand” adaptation, manage to muddle the source material with too many pop songs and dirty jokes.

The new “Peter Rabbit” adaptation manages to land right in the middle — the animation technology is top-notch, but the gentle spirit of Beatrix Potter’s books is subsumed into a chaotic, violent mayhem, manically soundtracked to the day’s hits.

Will Gluck directs and co-wrote with Rob Lieber this adaptation of “The Tale of Peter Rabbit,” the story of naughty rabbit Peter (James Corden), who can’t help but snack from Mr. McGregor’s garden.

This version ups the ante significantly in the Garden Wars, especially when Mr. McGregor (Sam Neill) dies, and his fastidious nephew Thomas (Domhnall Gleeson) comes to Windermere. Thomas, hoping to sell off his uncle’s property to fund his own toy shop, finds the “vermin” have moved in.

And in fact, the anthropomorphized, clothes-wearing wildlife of this country village have hosted quite the produce-fueled rager in the McGregor home.

The photorealistic animation by Animal Logic is truly breathtaking, especially in the first few moments of the film.

The rabbits are extraordinarily lifelike, with their individual strands of soft fur and shiny eyes. When Peter hops into the arms of neighbor Bea (Rose Byrne) for a cuddle, it’s as if she’s holding the actual animal. Gluck showcases the animated creatures with action-packed filmmaking featuring sophis-

Rated: PG (for some rude humor and action) Time: 1 hour, 33 minutes Tomatoes: 2 Critics: 58%

ticated camera movements.

But those whiz-bang tracking shots are all put in service of a shockingly savage and brutal war between Peter and his crew (Flopsy, Mopsy, Cotton-Tail, Benjamin Bunny) and the fussy Thomas. At first, Peter just wants to get at those sweet, sweet fruits and veggies. Then it’s simply a matter of proving he can, and ultimately, of displaced jealousy over Thomas’ budding relationship with Bea, whom Peter sees as a mother (she’s a version of a modernized Potter, talking to and painting her furry friends).

The impish Peter takes the feud entirely too far, and “Peter Rabbit” descends into a truly sadistic display of violence, as poor Gleeson is pounded, pummeled, battered, bruised, electrocuted and exploded at the paws of the brutal bunnies.

There’s a clever little meta streak that runs through “Peter Rabbit,” especially among the wildlife, who snark and joke and talk about their “character flaws,” make war movie references, and “pour one out” for their fallen homie Mr. McGregor, all while bopping along to endless pop and hip-hop tunes. There’s a whole essay to be written about the cultural appropriation of gangster rap symbols into this oh-so-twee British property, but this is neither the time nor place.

Ultimately, after the dust has settled, the lesson at hand is one of peaceful coexistence with the environment. The more you try to shut something out, with gates and fences and dynamite, the more it will try to fight back. There’s also a message about owning your actions and taking responsibility. even if you are a tiny talking bunny wearing a blue jacket. But when a bunny misbehaves like Peter does, apologies are necessary all around. Perhaps even to the audience of the film.

‘15:17 To Paris’ stars the real-life heroes “The 15:17 to Paris”

Rafer Guzmán Newsday

Based on the true story of a thwarted terror attack of a train bound for Paris on Aug. 21, 2015. The film follows the lives of three young Americans, whose friendship stands firm through the harrowing ordeal. Directed by Clint Eastwood and written by Dorothy Blyskal.

In the summer of 2015, three American tourists on a train from Amsterdam to Paris helped take down a lone gunman armed with more than 300 rounds of ammunition. The story of these real-life heroes seemed a natural fit for director Clint Eastwood, coming off the successes of “American Sniper,” starring Bradley Cooper as Navy SEAL Chris Kyle, and “Sully,” featuring Tom Hanks as heroic airline pilot Capt.

Chesley Sullengberger. When Eastwood signed on to direct “The 15:17 to Paris” in early 2017, there was one obvious question: Who would he pick to play the three Americans?

The answer: themselves.

It was an unexpected choice, and surely few were as surprised as the heroes themselves: Anthony Sadler, Alek Skarlatos and Spencer Stone. (Two others who helped thwart the attack, British national Chris Norman and French-American academic Mark Moogalian, also play themselves in the film.)

“We had all his (Eastwood’s) movies, we’d watched them over and over a million times,” says Stone. “Getting over the nerves of meeting someone like him, that’s difficult. But if there’s anything we’ve learned over the past couple of years of meeting all these people, it’s that people are just people.”

Adds Stone: “You have one conversation with Clint Eastwood and you realize how cool of a guy he is. He can get down to anyone’s level.”

“The 15:17 to Paris,” opening Friday and based on the trio’s nonfiction book, begins with their early years as middle-school friends (those roles are played by child actors, while two of their mothers are played by Judy Greer and Jenna Fischer). The men play themselves in their early 20s, when Sadler was attending California State University in Sacramento, Skarlatos was in the Oregon National Guard and Stone was serving in the Air Force. The movie depicts them as a close-knit unit, an impression confirmed by their interview. The trio insisted on being interviewed together, and each seemed comfortable speaking for the others. They used the words “we” and “us” far more than the word “I.” According to Skarlatos, Eastwood flew the trio to Los Angeles about three weeks before filming was scheduled to begin. Initially, they assumed it was to meet the actors who would play them. Even when Eastwood asked them to

re-enact the train attack — rather like an audition — they assumed it was to nail down details for the actors. Finally Eastwood made himself clear: Would Sadler, Skarlatos and Stone be interested in playing themselves?

“So we kind of went with that for a while. But when we left the room, the reality set in,” says Skarlatos. “Obviously, the conflict was: We could have actors do it, and know that it would be a good movie. Or we could do it, and risk it. In the end, we decided: How could you say no to Clint Eastwood? It was too fascinating of an opportunity to turn down.”

Their first thought, naturally, was to take acting classes.

Eastwood forbade it.

“He wanted that dynamic of us being ordinary on camera,” says Sadler. “And that’s what we did. He said, ‘Just be yourselves and I’ll take care of the rest.’”

Sadler, Skarlatos and Stone all say they now plan to pursue acting full time. “It was the funnest two months of my life,” says Stone. “It would be kind of cool to do another role besides myself, and see if I could step into the shoes of a different person. The whole idea of that is fascinating.”

This action adventure is the epic finale to the Maze Runner saga. Starring Dylan O’Brien, Thomas Brodie-Sangster, Kaya Scodelario and Ki Hong Lee.

CRW will establish minimum participation levels (MPLs) for the MBEs, WBEs and other DBEs on a project-by-project basis.

Mechanicsburg Area School District reserves the right in its sole discretion to reject any or all Bids and to waive irregularities in any Bid.

Seventy one percent of Earth is covered by water. More than 97 percent of this is salty seawater. Less than 3 percent is fresh water, found underground, in lakes and wetlands, and as solid ice. Earth has five major oceans. Starting with the largest, they are the Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, Southern and Arctic oceans.

There are also many smaller seas. The Pacific Ocean covers 30 percent, or about one third, of the planetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s surface!

Trinity’s Bentley family finds comfort in the world’s most grueling sport Dustin Hockensmith dhockensmith@pennlive.com

When Chris Bentley left the Trinity wrestling room on July 12, he walked out with his wrestling shoes still on. It was a rare mental lapse for a former Army Ranger who handled logistics for a living.

“I don’t know why he did that,” son Caleb said. “I’d never seen it before.”

Bentley walked back, swapped out his wrestling shoes for sandals and told his youngest son he loved him one more time.

The Bentleys always said they loved each other when they left, but the words were especially important on this day.

“I love you, buddy. Have fun.”

Those were the last words Bentley would say to his son. He collapsed at work the next morning and died at the age of 45. The diagnosis was a cardiac tamponade, a condition where blood or fluid gets into the sac that encases the heart. It is often fatal.

Bentley’s loss changed a family and robbed the Pennsylvania wrestling community of a young leader whose impact was felt far and wide. Bentley founded the Renegade Force Wrestling Club and helped launch Trinity’s high school program in 2010.

Bentley’s passion for teaching started humbly in the basement of his former Shippensburg home and grew into the Renegade Force that has since helped develop a Who’s Who of blossoming stars from junior cadet world champion Aaron Brooks to Chance

Marsteller and plenty more.

Bentley earned the respect of wrestlers, peers, college coaches, co-workers and many others who crossed his path. He pushed wrestlers to their limits, loved them when they needed it and cultivated young leaders to start influencing the next generation.

And in an instant, he was gone.

‘THE TOUGHEST MAN I’VE EVER MET’

Lara Bentley got a call from the human resources office at Clarks Americas, where her husband worked, around 8 a.m. on July 13. Chris had collapsed in his office and wasn’t breathing, and paramedics were on the scene.

Devon Bentley was right down the hall working as an intern for his dad and was told about his condition just before paramedics loaded him up in the ambulance.

Devon remained optimistic until paramedics exhausted their options.

“Knowing my dad, knowing how he is, I thought, ‘All right, he passed out. It’s probably something quite fixable,’” Devon said.

“Ten minutes went by, and they looked at me and said, ‘We’re getting him to the ER because he’s still not breathing.’

Caleb spent a 45-minute car ride with his mother trying to convince her that Chris was too tough for this time to be his time. He was going to pull through, Caleb thought, because that’s what he always did.

“I wasn’t even worried about it because he’s the toughest man I’ve ever met in my

entire life,” Caleb said. “As we’re driving down there, my mom was obviously upset, and I said, ‘Look, he’s going to be fine. I’m not worried about it. You shouldn’t be worried about it, either.’

“So, when we got to the hospital, I asked the nurse, ‘Hey, how’s everything doing? Is he all right?’ She was like, ‘Well, I don’t really know.’ I was like, ‘That’s not a good sign.’ I walked in there and it was an empty hospital bed. That wasn’t a good sign, either.

Eagles, Philadelphia ready to get party started Aaron Kasinitz akasinitz@pennlive.com

PHILADELPHIA — Linebacker Jordan Hicks grinned Wednesday as he recalled one of his first conversations with Philadelphia Eagles radio announcer Merrill Reese.

Hicks had just joined the team as a rookie linebacker in 2015 when Reese put a thought into his mind.

“Merrill, when I first got here, said, ‘When you guys win the Super Bowl, this city is going to go nuts. And they are going to have a parade down Broad, and that parade is going to be absolutely insane,’” Hicks said.

Then his smile widened.

“The moment is here,” he added.

The Eagles beat the New England Patriots, 41-33, Sunday to win the franchise its first-ever Super Bowl title and first championship since 1960. A torn Achilles sidelined Hicks during the playoff run, but he rejoiced with teammates and relished in the accomplishment in Minneapolis.

Like everyone else on the team, Hicks is bracing for a wild scene Thursday when the Eagles parade down Philadelphia’s Broad Street, loop around City Hall and head to the iconic art museum steps. It’s a celebration 58 years in the making, and officials are

When National Signing Day started on Wednesday, there was a chance Penn State would welcome as many as three players to the Class of 2018, which is ranked at No. 4 in the nation by 247Sports Composite rankings.

The day finished with one addition to this year’s recruiting class, but it was the one signature the team really wanted, as it landed four-star Waldorf, Md., North Point tackle Rasheed Walker, who picked the program over Ohio State and others.

“You watch his tape, and he’s got tremendous athleticism and length, but the thing that’s amazing, he’s not only good in space, but you watch that guy, and he is physical,” Franklin said. “He plays with a nasty streak. The guys that we’re recruiting should be the best player on either side of the ball, and you watch him in high school and say to yourself this guy could possibly play defensive line for us.

It was clear why the Lions wanted him so badly, as he was a top-10 player at his position nationally, but Franklin dove into other reasons the program spent the better part of two years chasing Walker’s signature. Penn State took four offensive lineman this cycle, joining December signees Juice Scruggs, Bryce Effner, and Nana Asiedu. “[Walker’s] a great kid from a great family, has a finishers mentality, so I think you take Nana at one tackle and Rasheed at the other tackle, put Juice at center, and you have a situation with Effner being a swing guy that could play either guard, possibly center, or tackle, and I think we put a hell of a class together,” Franklin said.

Four-star wide receiver Solomon Enis committed to Utah, picking the Utes over the Lions, USC and Arizona State for his services. Predictions from the 247Sports’ Crystal Ball flipped wildly late Tuesday night and early Wednesday morning for the son of former Penn State running back great Curtis Enis, which signaled a major shift in his recruitment. The Lions had long been viewed as the favorite to land Enis.

It’s an event the Eagles and their diehards have been waiting for. Even in the first moments after Sunday’s win, players were looking ahead to this parade, a dream finally realized.

COLLEGE WRESTLING

Iowa’s Lee eager for Pa. homecoming Dustin Hockensmith dhockensmith@pennlive.com

Spencer Lee is back, in more ways than one.

The former Franklin Regional star returns to wrestle in his native Pennsylvania this Saturday night for the first time in nearly a year. He and the seventh-ranked Iowa Hawkeyes take on No. 1 Penn State at sold-out Bryce Jordan Center.

The last time Lee was in the Keystone State, he wrestled with an ACL tear in the high school state finals and fell at the buzzer to Exeter’s Austin DeSanto in his last high school match. It was one of the great upsets in PIAA history and the only time Lee was ever beaten in his prep career.

Much has changed since then, but the reality was, Lee was a fraction of himself as he pursued his fourth state title. That’s taking nothing away from DeSanto, who is now ranked No. 4 in the country at 133 pounds at Drexel.

“The kid wanted to win a state title,” Lee said. “In his mind, to prove to everyone that he’s the real deal, he had to beat me, and he did it. It’s like a Cinderella story, I guess.

Everyone thinks I hate the kid. I don’t hate the kid at all. He went out and did what he needed to do. I went out and did what I needed to do.

Stevens leads Penn State over Maryland 74-70 Travis Johnson Associated Press

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Lamar Stevens feels like he’s playing his most consistent basketball right now, a bad omen for upcoming opponents considering Penn State expects its hybrid forward to do a little bit of everything.

Just like he did on Wednesday.

Stevens scored 25 points on 10-of-12 shooting with 14 in the second half to lift Penn State over Maryland 74-70.

“Lamar really stepped up for us,” Penn State coach Patrick Chambers said. “We needed every one of those points that he had tonight.”

Tony Carr added 16 points, Josh Reaves scored 14, and Mike Watkins added 11 for the Nittany Lions (17-9, 7-6 Big Ten Conference), who equaled their previous best mark for conference victories under Chambers.

“The best teams always find ways to win,” Stevens said.

“We locked down when we had to, got huge stops, huge rebounds and I think that’s a huge step for this team.”

With Maryland (16-10, 5-8) up 20-14 midway through the first half, Stevens nailed his first of two 3-pointers to spark a quick 9-0 run that helped Penn State take control.

He rolled layups off his fingers and sank midrange jumpers on multiple back-to-back possessions in the second half, where he scored 11 of his team’s first 20 points.

“He made some incredible, incredible shots,” Maryland coach Mark Turgeon said. “He was terrific, he was so efficient.”

Stevens added four rebounds, two assists and was 3-for-4 on free throws with all three makes coming in the final 5:48 as Maryland threatened.

Anthony Cowan Jr. led Maryland with 15 points while Kevin Huerter and Bruno Fernando added 13 apiece.

Darryl Morsell had 10 points for the Terrapins, who cut

a 10-point deficit with 8:11 to play to just three with 1:13 left.

“I didn’t think we competed in the first half defensively,” Turgeon said. “I thought in the second half, we were really trying hard.”

WELL-GUARDED

While Stevens led the offense, guards Reaves, Shep Garner and Jamari Wheeler helped keep Cowan Jr. and Huerter from doing major damage.

The Terrapin duo entered the Bryce Jordan Center averaging a combined 30 points per game. And while they got close with 28, they combined for six of their team’s 14 turnovers as Penn State dialed up the pressure.

“They really pressured us,” Turgeon said. “I thought (Reaves and Wheeler) had a lot to do with it.”

SPEEDY D

Stevens called Reaves the “heart and soul” of the team and there’s no question Penn State looks like a different squad with the stingy, opportunistic defender in the lineup.

Penn State is 4-1 since his return from an academic-related suspension.

“He’s going to defend and rebound,” Chambers said.

“He’ll guard the best player on the other team, and when he has opportunities to score and make plays, which he usually does, he’s that guy that does it for us.”

Reaves led the team with nine rebounds.

While PSU has leaned on Reaves since his return, his presence hasn’t prevented Chambers from keeping the speedy Wheeler in the rotation. Wheeler played 11 minutes and had three assists.

LEE FROM C1

“He’s been doing awesome. It’s pretty cool to have two freshmen out here, wrestling hard and doing our best in college.”

Lee left for Iowa, rehabbed hard, returned to the mat and burned his redshirt in time for the Midlands Championships in late December. He quickly got back to dominant form and shook up college wrestling’s 125-pound weight class with a string of five straight wins over top-10 opponents.

Standing in Lee’s path were Oklahoma State’s No. 7 Nick Piccininni, Ohio State’s No. 4 Nathan Tomasello, Michigan’s No. 9 Drew Mattin, Minnesota’s No. 6 Ethan Lizak and Northwestern’s No. 10 Sebastian Rivera.

Lee first delivered a statement by beating Tomasello, who was ranked No. 1 in the country at the time, by a 3-2 decision in Columbus. Lee was dominant from top position to win on riding time, but he was far from content and couldn’t recall a time he last won without scoring a takedown.

“You let a match be that close and in the end he can get a takedown,” Lee told Iowa’s official website at the time. “You have to build your lead. I think it’s the first time I’ve ever won a match without a takedown.”

Points were no problem in beating Mattin and Lizak by identical 15-0 technical falls last week. Lizak is a junior from Parkland High School and a returning NCAA finalist. Lee, who is now ranked No. 3 nationally, made beating him look easy.

The wins are piling up for Lee, and they’re meaningful with the Big Ten and NCAA championships on the horizon. But they’re still just a small fraction of the success he hopes to have in wrestling. National championships, world titles and Olympic medals have all been goals since Lee was nine years old.

“Everyone sets goals, but I’m not like, ‘If I do this, then I get that,’” Lee said. “I have ultimate goals, and I’m sure you know what my ultimate goals are. Those are goals I set when I was nine years old. In your mind, you want them to seem unreachable so there’s always something to strive for.”

Lee has a chance to kick off Saturday’s dual against Penn State in a big way, albeit against an opponent, either Carson Kuhn or Devin Schnupp, who is well short of the top 10. Lee

Spencer Lee returns to Pennsylvania after a storied high school career as a member of the University of Iowa wrestling team. Darren Miller, University of Iowa Athletics

expects to have a small cheering section at the Bryce Jordan Center, but doesn’t expect to hear them over the home crowd.

“It’s definitely cool,” Lee said. “I got a lot of texts from people who want to see me, high school friends, coaches, people who helped me throughout the years. There might be some cheering for me. We’ll see. It’s pretty loud and the fans are pretty good there. They’re going to be loud.”

Lee is quite familiar with the scene in Happy Valley, too.

He said his recruitment came down to Penn State and Iowa, and he nearly committed to Cael Sanderson.

“They were probably my No. 2 school,” Lee said. “I almost committed there. I was pretty close to it. I went back and forth a lot. Both are great schools, so it was a really hard decision for me and my family and ultimately, I’m happy with my decision.”

Lee will get a chance to deliver a statement in his home state, but he has a new “home” in Iowa City.

“This is home now,” Lee said. “University of Iowa is home.”

NATIONAL SIGNING DAY 2018

Neely officially signs with Temple Eric Epler eepler@pennlive.com

Onasis Neely wasted no time.

In the early morning hours Wednesday, also known as National Signing Day, East Pennsboro’s dynamic running back was among the first football recruits to send in his paperwork.

The paper that said Neely was now a fullfledged member of the Temple Owls.

“It’s a huge relief. This has been my dream,” said Neely, still charged a full 12 hours after he signed his scholarship offer.

“To go to a Division I program and play on TV on Saturdays, man, I’m lost for words. I also get to stay in state. My family can see me play. It’s all perfect.”

Even though Wednesday’s snow postponed a planned signing ceremony at East Pennsboro until Thursday, it wasn’t enough to shake Neely’s excitement.

The recruiting process for the Panthers’ record-setting running back was frustrating at times, especially for a runner that gobbled up more than 5,600 rushing yards in his high school career.

Neely did secure five offers from top-level FCS programs – Albany, Fordham, Howard, Maine and Morgan State – but valued a chance to compete at the NCAA’s highest level.

The offer by Temple head coach Geoff Collins came in late November.

“To be in this position is just a blessing.

I’m just now settling in,” Neely said.

Offensive line haul shows sign of times for Penn State Bob Flounders

bflounders@pennlive.com

When Penn State took the field for its first game under the direction of James Franklin in late August of 2014, the Nittany Lions fielded an offensive line that could honestly be described as patchwork.

Central Florida was the opponent in Dublin, and Penn State found a way to win a thriller, 26-24 on a last-second Sam Ficken kick.

And the Lions’ O-line featured just one scholarship tackle, who was an upperclassman (Donovan Smith) and a pair of converted defensive linemen at the guard spots — Brian Gaia and Derek Dowrey. Dowrey actually split time at guard with Brendan Mahon, but you get the idea. Penn State’s O-line depth chart was in need of a major upgrade.

And it’s taken some impressive recruiting work, but as Penn State enters Year Five with James Franklin, the improvements the Lions, 22-5 the last two seasons, have made along the offensive line are hard not to notice.

Penn State returns five linemen with significant starting experience: Tackle Will Fries, guard Steven Gonzalez, guard-tackle Ryan Bates, center-guard Connor McGovern and tackle Chasz Wright.

Behind them are Michal Menet, C.J. Thorpe, Mike Miranda, Des Homes, Robbie Martin and Alex Gellerstedt.

And Penn State and Franklin’s 2018 offensive line recruiting haul is considered among

CLASS FROM C1

The other PSU miss came from longtime commit from Harrisburg High Shaquon Anderson-Butts, who was announced as a member of Iowa Western Community College’s signing class, which he later confirmed on social media.

The two-way star for the Cougars is listed as a defensive back by the program. It’s possible he could see reps at receiver, too.

Walker will enroll in June as the 23rd member of this year’s recruiting class.

“Rasheed is more than a great player. He’s a great kid,” Walker’s high school coach Tom Petre said in a statement. “He has made a tremendous impact on our program and with his teammates. He is a humble, hard-work-

the best in the nation. Top talents Juice Scruggs, Nana Asiedu and Bryce Effner signed back in December and the Lions received a commitment from Maryland four-star offensive tackle prospect Rasheed Walker.

The days of Penn State’s defensive line constantly getting the better of the O-line group in practices and scrimmages should be over. PSU isn’t there yet with the O-line but it should be an interesting spring and summer for Franklin, line coach Matt Limegrover and new tight end coach Tyler Bowen.

Franklin was asked about the importance of upgrading the O-line talent since arriving in State College in January of 2014. Franklin covets athleticism and position flexibility.

“We’ve done a good job of ... recruiting guys that are good fits here, guys that have the measurables and the athleticism that we’re looking for,’’ Franklin said.

“I’m a big believer in recruiting guys that create position flexibility across the offensive line.

“If you’re going to recruit a guard, we would prefer the guard to be a guy that has the ability to be what we call a ‘swing’ guy. So a guy that may not have offensive tackle measurables but has the athleticism and feel for the position.”

Penn State has a number of linemen who can wear many hats. McGovern began his career as a guard before moving to center in 2017. Menet, who has still not cracked the starting lineup, could probably play any of the five O-line spots.

And Bates has already played three positions at Penn State — left and right tackle, and left guard.

“I think (Ryan) Bates is a really good example of that,’’ Franklin said of the 6-4, 312-pounder. “Bates isn’t your typical 6-6 offensive tackle but he’s got the athleticism and feel for the position.

“So I think we’ve done a good job of that, recruiting tackles and guards that have tackle attributes. And then you also have the variety of the swing guys inside.

“So a center-guard combination, a center who can play guard and a guard who can play center type of deal. I’m pleased with the length, I’m pleased with the athleticism, I’m pleased with the mentality of the position.’’

Franklin also talked about the positive effect he believes Bowen will have on the physicality of the offensive line. Bowen served as the Maryland offensive line coach last season and coached Fordham’s offensive line in 2015 and 2016. He is the PSU tight ends coach for 2018.

“I think Matt (Limegrover) has done a great job, I think the addition of Tyler (Bowen), with an offensive line background, is really going to help us at tight end position but it’s also going to help us up front,’’ Franklin said.

As for the current group of 2018 offensive line recruits, Franklin considers Asiedu and Walker to be tackles, Effner to be a swing player and Scruggs to be a center. For now.

“You watch his tape, he’s got tremendous athleticism and length,’’ Franklin said of Walker.

“I think we’ve put a helluva class together.’’

Trinity’s Caleb Bentley celebrates after earning his 100th career win on Jan. 11. Jason Malmont, For PennLive

BENTLEY FROM C1

“They worked on him for an hour, and the doctor said, ‘We’re down to the last five minutes. If we can’t get him back, he’s gone,” he said. “A lot of stuff goes down in that five minutes.”

CHRIS AND CAEL

Penn State wrestling coach Cael Sanderson still has a bone to pick with Chris Bentley Did Sanderson, or did he not, hit Bentley in the leg in a dodgeball game years earlier?

“I’m looking forward to seeing him again,” Sanderson said. “He never admitted I hit him. It was right when the game started, I drilled him in the leg. He didn’t flinch at all.

He was so crazy competitive. He never would admit I hit him.

“When I see him again — I hope to land where he is — it’s the first thing I’m going to ask him. Even if he has great intentions, he can’t lie about getting hit in dodgeball in heaven.”

The relationship between Bentley and Sanderson goes back over a decade, to when Sanderson was still coaching at Iowa State. He and his staff came to Pennsylvania to help with a camp at Lock Haven, and the Bentleys hosted them on their visit. The two stayed in close contact ever since.

“Like anybody with the Bentleys, they’re the kind of family everyone thinks they’re your best friends,” Sanderson said. “That’s just the way they are. They’re very welcoming and nice.

They’re good people.”

Not long after they first met, Sanderson entered discussions with Penn State about becoming the program’s next head wrestling coach. The process played out for weeks, Sanderson said, and Chris Bentley was one of the first people to give him input on whether he should take the job.

“I think he was encouraging me to take the job,” Sanderson said. “He was one of the first people who knew. It wasn’t an overnight decision. It was a week or two, maybe even longer than that.

Sanderson said he got regular advice from Bentley during his time at Penn State and he would come down to Renegade Force to observe how he trained his wrestlers.

“He’s a guy I would text with and pick his brain on recruits,” Sanderson said. “I’d come down and watch his club train. He’d bring his team to our camp. It was a lot of fun with the energy he would bring.”

A RENEGADE RENEWAL

The month before Chris Bentley’s death, he was giddy about the launch of a new practice facility at Twin Ponds West. Gone would be the days of practicing in Trinity’s cafeteria or in the school’s glorified closet of a wrestling room.

Bender was the architect behind the move

to the facility they nicknamed “The Cage,” and he combed over every detail. The new room was more than just an upgrade. It was perfect to Bentley, and it marked a new beginning for Renegade Force, which got less attention when Bentley took the job at Trinity in 2010.

Bentley couldn’t wait to use it. So he didn’t.

“Chris was like a kid when that room was done,” Bender said. “He couldn’t wait to have open mats even though we weren’t prepared in some aspects. I said, ‘Coach, I don’t have my insurance in place yet.’ He said, ‘Let’s keep it small.’

“He put it out on Facebook, and 25 kids showed up. He was running around the room like he was a high school wrestler.”

Bentley’s legacy lives on in that room.

In a mid-January practice on a snowy day, state title contenders such as Cole Forrester, Andrew Wert, Dalton Group and Quentin Milliken could all be found drilling hard in “The Cage.” They all have fond memories of their time with Bentley and the “All in, all the time” motto he preached.

Wert, a two-time state medalist who began his high school career at Trinity before moving to Central Dauphin, has the phrase tattooed on his right bicep.

“If you don’t put all your effort into something, you’re not going to get anywhere,” Wert said. “What’s the sense in half-assing something? You have to be all in, all the time.”

in him. You can do it all, man. You can kick butt in every area.”

Bentley also happened to find and cultivate the leadership ability in current Trinity coach Chris Barrick and Carlisle coach Joe Wilson. He didn’t take them under his wing as much as they just happened to end up there.

Barrick started making regular appearances at Renegade Force as a senior at Shippensburg University just looking for an extra workout. Barrick and Bentley helped each other out, and a friendship was born. It wasn’t long before Barrick became one of Bentley’s right-hand men, his co-worker at Clarks Americas and his ultimate successor at Trinity.

Joe Wilson was the junior high coach at Carlisle when he first met Bentley. He learned the coaching ropes from Bentley and was in awe of the connections he had across the state. Bentley treated Wilson’s wrestlers — and his coaching successes — like his own.

“He would take us down and bring us into his family and bring us into his home and show us what kind of great man he was and great father and husband he was,” Wilson said. “That’s important. I was 25 when I became head coach, and I still didn’t know a lot of stuff. He was able to show me the ropes and talk about things. I was pretty sheltered in the Carlisle area, but he wanted to make my kids better.

‘KICK BUTT IN EVERY AREA’

MOVING FORWARD

Phil Davis first met the Bentley family as an All-America wrestler at Penn State who would do just about anything for a free meal.

What Davis found during his time running practices with Bentley, first at Wayne Danger Wrestling Club in Mifflinburg and later at Renegade Force in Shippensburg, was a deeper appreciation for Bentley and the way he approached his life.

Now a professional mixed martial artist in Bellator MMA, Davis, a Harrisburg High grad, was a national champion and four-time All-American during his time at Penn State.

He started his fighting career in the UFC and signed with Bellator in April 2015.

Davis gravitated toward Bentley, not because he was asked or told. Bentley had something to offer him, and he led Davis by example.

“Wrestling is one of those sports where everybody has something they can teach you, and for me I really learned from him was he had such good balance with being a higher-up in the company he worked for, then being so deeply involved in the wrestling community,” Davis said.

“You would think it cost him something professionally. He seemed to have such great balance with it to excel in business and spend so much time with all the guys. He was at pretty much every tournament with his team and with his own kids, It’s just something I admired

Caleb Bentley is a senior at Trinity, and Devon is a senior at Penn State. They both have graduations, weddings, children and other huge life events in their futures, and they know they will have to settle for having Bentley with them in spirit.

Lara Bentley compares her husband to a pebble in a lake, where countless people felt the ripple effect.

“He gave off this beautiful ripple,” Lara said. “And if you’re standing in the lake, you feel that ripple. For me, I feel like the things he did in his life, whether in the military or at work or wrestling or with his own family, you honor him because he gave you such a large portion of himself.”

Caleb, wearing his dad’s old Shippensburg University beanie, was especially aware of his dad’s presence when he won his 100th career match in a dual against Camp Hill last month.

That milestone was meaningful for everyone given the circumstances, but Caleb said it would have been a huge deal for his dad.”

“I know he’s proud of me, and I know he really, really wanted me to get (his 100th win),” Caleb said. “My dad has always been that guy to never be satisfied with just good enough. Even with that 100th win, he’d be like, ‘Get that No. 101. Let’s make it to regionals. Let’s place at states. Let’s win states.’

That’s why I get motivated, and that’s why I’m hungry.”

The start of a dynasty?

Eagles built to sustain Super Bowl success, but face 3 main hurdles in doing so

1) RECAPTURING DEPTH, CAMARADERIE

Many Eagles cited the team’s depth and

toughness as two main reasons they were able to win the Super Bowl this season despite injuries to Wentz, nine-time Pro Bowl left tackle Jason Peters and a host of other contributors. The team had players with enough talent to replace sidelined stars and enough selflessness to buy into Pederson’s messages.

Safety Malcolm Jenkins said he’d never been a part of a team that bonded and believed like that.

And if the chemistry was indeed rare, it won’t be easy for the Eagles to recapture it as they tweak the roster over the next several seasons. Some key veterans who helped Philly overcome injuries and stay evenkeeled this season can enter free agency next month, including Blount, cornerback Patrick Robinson and linebacker Nigel Bradham.

The Eagles will aim to strike a fine balance moving forward. They’ll need to improve the roster because every other team is aiming to do the same, while making sure they don’t disrupt the camaraderie they lauded as a key factor in this season’s Super Bowl run.

2) MONITORING WENTZ’S HEALTH

Wentz didn’t play during the Eagles’ charmed postseason run, but he’s undoubtedly the centerpiece of the franchise moving forward. As Wentz works back from an ACL tear, the Birds will be cautious with him, and even beyond that, they’ll need to consider Wentz’s injury history.

Wentz missed games during his senior year in college and his first preseason in the NFL with various ailments, and if there’s one potential roadblock in his path to superstardom, it’s a pile of injuries.

And, yes, the Eagles did just win a Super Bowl with Wentz on the sideline. Having Nick Foles around as a backup turned out to be a luxury. But make no mistake: as impressive as Philadelphia was this year, it’d be near impossible for the team to approach dynasty status without stability at quarterback.

3) NAVIGATING CONTRACT NEGOTIATIONS WITH STAR PLAYERS

The Eagles in 2017 built a well-rounded team based on balance and depth in part because they had the cap flexibility to do so. Aside from defensive Fletcher Cox’s six-year, $102.6 million contract, the Birds aren’t hampered by gaudy deals.

And that’s not an easy dynamic to maintain. Defensive end Brandon Graham, one of the Super Bowl’s brightest stars, has just one season left on his contract. Same goes for running back Jay Ajayi and wide receiver Nelson Agholor.

Not to mention, Wentz can ask for a new deal for the first time at the end of the 2018 season.

While these impending contract decisions regarding key players aren’t unusual in the NFL, they do present a two-fold issue for the Eagles. Philadelphia doesn’t want to overpay anyone and throw off its roster construction, yet it also will aim to hang onto important players and maintain locker room harmony.

The good news for Birds fans pining for another title is that the Eagles did so many things right the past two offseasons, which led to a Super Bowl championship — it provides a sturdy base to build off of as they chase a few more.

Eagles’ assistant coaches drawing plenty of interest Aaron Kasinitz akasinitz@pennlive.com

Bot h Eag les offensive coordinator Frank Reich and quarterbacks coach John DeFilippo are drawing interest from other NFL teams on the eve of the team’s Super Bowl celebration.

The Indianapolis Colts are expected to submit a request to interview Reich for their head coaching job, according to a report from NFL.com.

Reich didn’t call plays for the Birds during their run to a Super Bowl championship, but he worked closely with coach Doug Pederson to finalize offensive gameplans. A former NFL quarterback, Reich has spent the past decade in the NFL coaching ranks, including a stint with the Colts from 2008 to ‘11 and a run as Chargers offensive coordinator from 2013 to ‘15.

Indianapolis was set to hire Josh McDaniels as head coach, but the Patriots offensive coordinator backed out Tuesday night and returned to his position with New England.

That’s left the Colts in somewhat of a scramble, as they restart their head coaching search several weeks after most teams filled their openings.

DeFilippo would stand as a logical in-house replacement for Reich if he would leave but the Minnesota Vikings have shown strong interest in hiring DeFilippo as their offensive coordinator, according to ESPN, leaving the

EAGLES FROM C1

“I guess it ain’t hit me yet, because I haven’t seen how crazy this party on Broad Street is going to be,” defensive end Brandon Graham said Sunday about 30 minutes after stripping Patriots quarterback Tom Brady to force a game-defining fumble.

Defensive end Vinny Curry plans to wear a GoPro to record the parade and thinks the day will be one he’ll never forget.

Steven Means, another defensive end, said he was still trying to comprehend the atmosphere at U.S. Bank Stadium on Sunday, so he’s unsure what to expect at the parade. Philly

PHILADELPHIA — Fans swarmed the airport when the Philadelphia Eagles landed here with the Vince Lombardi Trophy in hand to greet the players who brought the franchise its first Super Bowl championship.

There were signs and shouts and tears. And the party isn’t done yet.

Philly will hold a parade today that’ll run up Broad Street and across the city to the Philadelphia Museum of Art steps, which could draw as many as 3 million green-clad diehards.

And here’s perhaps the nuttiest aspect to this raucous celebration, one that Philadelphians have waited almost six decades to hold: This might only be the start of it. The Eagles were the NFL’s best team nearly wireto-wire this year, as owner Jeffrey Lurie put it Sunday, and they have the roster in place to contend for titles for years to come.

Twenty of the 22 Eagles starters in Sunday’s Super Bowl win is signed through next season (running back LeGarrette Blount and safety Corey Graham are not), and the team should return its entire starting offensive and defensive lines for the 2018 season. The Birds could also get better when 25-year-old quarterback Carson Wentz recovers from an ACL tear. Their inventive coach, Doug Pederson, showed no signs of burnout during the year.

The Eagles are dealing with salary cap constraints, but those shouldn’t hinder their path toward sustained success. The team has the bulk of its Super Bowl roster locked into contracts for the next few years and executive vice president Howie Roseman has consistently displayed craftiness to address weaknesses without much financial wiggle room.

Meanwhile, well-respected executive Joe Douglas leads an Eagles’ scouting department that should continue to mine free agency and the draft for productive players.

With talent in the trenches, Wentz at the helm of the offense and stability in the front office, the Eagles have the ingredients to remain in the NFL’s upper echelon over the next few seasons, much like the Patriots, Steelers, Packers, and Seahawks have done in recent years.

That doesn’t mean titles will come easily.

There’s a reason parity has long reigned in the NFL, a league that hasn’t seen a repeat champion in 13 years.

Heck, nobody in the Eagles’ four-team division has won back-to-back NFC East titles in that same span. It’s hard to string together great seasons in the NFL, and the Eagles’ roadmap to continued dominance already has some clear obstacles.

So here are three challenges the Eagles face in their quest to win a few more championships with this core of players and coaches.

Eagles with a tricky situation to navigate in the wake of their first championship.

‘PHILLY SPECIAL’ RIGHT OUT OF BEARS PLAYBOOK

history for the future.

—Daniel Gallen, dgallen@pennlive.com JENKINS SAYS HE’D SKIP WHITE HOUSE VISIT

Where did “Philly Special” come from?

That question, more so than any about the health of Carson Wentz or the future of Nick Foles or how this team can sustain its success, has surrounded the Eagles since coach Doug Pederson’s gutsy call of the trick play in the final minute before halftime in Super Bowl LII. The play worked, so now it’s immortal.

But many still wanted to know the exact inspiration or source for it. A University of Texas quarterback who attended the same high school as Foles tweeted a video of Westlake High in Austin, Texas, running the play. The New England Patriots used a similar throwback pass in 2015 to get a big gain against the Eagles. Oklahoma scored a touchdown on yet another similar play in the Rose Bowl.

All those are wrong, though. Pederson confirmed Wednesday that the play came from the 2016 Chicago Bears.

“Philly Special” is beginning to take on a mythological status in Philadelphia. Foles said Wednesday he has seen tattoos people have gotten of the play (and of him, too), and it will likely remain an object fascination and pivotal moment in Philadelphia sports

Eagles safety Malcolm Jenkins said Wednesday he would decline an invitation to the White House to celebrate the team’s Super Bowl championship with President Donald Trump, but he expected teammates and fans to enjoy the experience.

Typically, major sports league champions visit the White House, but Eagles defensive end Chris Long and wide receiver Torrey Smith have also said they’d skip the event because of disagreements with Trump.

Jenkins founded the Players Coalition this year with former receiver Anquan Boldin in an effort to organize a group of NFL players interested in pushing for criminal justice reform. He’s also met with state and federal lawmakers to lobby for bills over the past two years.

For much of the past two seasons, Jenkins also raised his right fist in the air during the national anthem to join a protest against social injustice inspired by former 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick.

Jenkins stopped making that gesture in December, after the NFL pledged to donate money to social justice and provide a platform to boost activism.

keeps impressing, Means said, so he won’t underestimate it.

Chris Long, who won a title with the Patriots last season, was able to give his teammates a bit of insight.

But Long was quick to say the Eagles’ parade would in many ways trump the Patriots’. New England was celebrating its fifth championship in 16 years last February; Philadelphia will be savoring its first since Dwight Eisenhower was president.

“Right,” Means said. “It’s gonna be nuts.”

Philadelphia Eagles’ Super Bowl run changes public perception of certain players, coaches.

After the game Sunday, Eagles fans across Philadelphia poured into the streets to shout, jump, hug, climb light poles or burn couches.

They enjoyed the victory in raucous fashion.

Safety Rodney McLeod said he’s watched video clips of the scene on social media and is eager to see how the fans treat the parade.

“I’ve seen everything,” McLeod said. “A lot of good moments out there. I can’t wait.”

Neither can Hicks. While the pain of sitting on the sideline for the Super Bowl lingers, the third-year linebacker said he’s envisioned a parade since he first met Reese, an icon who’s worked for the Eagles for 40 years.

Hicks figures fans in the city will cherish today’s event nearly as much as the win itself.

“It’s going to be crazy tomorrow,” Hicks said. “I’ve thought about that many times and [Reese’s] words many times. And the time has come.”

PITTSBURGH — For the second straight offseason, Art Rooney II is hoping to sign Le’Veon Bell to a long-term contract.

The star running back would have to be labeled with the franchise tag between Feb. 20 and March 14 if the Steelers want to avoid him hitting the free agent market A franchise tag, effectively a one-year guaranteed contract, would cost Pittsburgh $14.54 million against the salary cap.

A multi-year deal would likely result in a lower 2018 cap hit. According to OverTheCap. com, the Steelers are currently projected to be $4.1 million over the for next season. And while Bell could still sign a multi-year contract after being tagged, Rooney declined to say if the team would take such an approach.

Rooney said the same last year.

“I’d rather cross that bridge when we come to it,” Rooney said. “We’re trying to get this deal done in the next couple weeks, so we still have time to see if we can get it figured out.”

Bell reportedly turned down a contract offer before last season, in part, because he thought he should be paid like a top running back and a No. 2 wide receiver at the same time. The running back market, though, does affect negotiations, Rooney said.

Five of the NFL’s highest-paid running backs had an average salary between $6.7$8.25 million last year. Those figures do not include Bell, who made $12.12 million on his 2017 franchise tag deal.

“It’s something that with every signing we do, we look at all the facts and the player on the other side is looking at the same thing,” Rooney said. “Bottom line is can you come together and have a meeting of the minds?

And that’s what we’ve got to work on.”

On the Thursday before Pittsburgh’s 45-42 playoff loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, Bell told ESPN he would consider retirement if he didn’t feel valued in the upcoming round of negotiations. He has since told reporters he wants to stay with the Steelers and that he and the team are closer to a deal than they were last year, though he also told NFL Network he would still think about retiring if he’s given the franchise tag.

Rooney was not interested in publicly assessing Bell’s optimism or promise of possible retirement.

“It doesn’t serve me any purpose to kind of react to that,” he said. “We try to deal directly with the player and his agent. We’ll do our best to see if we can get something done.”

SHAZIER HAS FUTURE WITH STEELERS

Rooney II expects Ryan Shazier to help the Steelers next season in some capacity.

“Yeah, I expect Ryan is going to be here one way or the other and have a role one way or the other in 2018,” Rooney said, when asked if there would be a place for Shazier with the team if he can’t play.

Shazier suffered a spinal injury on Dec. 4 against the Cincinnati Bengals. He left the field on a stretcher, unable to feel his legs and had spinal stabilization surgery on Dec. 6. Shazier began physical rehabilitation on Dec. 14.

Though Shazier did visit the UPMC Rooney Sports Complex and attend Steelers home games down the stretch of the season, he was only seen seated, in a wheelchair until last Tuesday. Then, Shazier shared photos of himself standing, via Instagram.

Upon receiving a standing ovation at the Pittsburgh Penguins game Tuesday night, Shazier - with assistance - stood up as well.

In the days following the spinal injury, his teammates emphasized that they were concerned about Shazier walking and being able to play with his children — not his playing football again.

OWNER BACKS TOMLIN

Rooney II let out a laugh at some minority owners’ expense Wednesday afternoon.

The Steelers president and principal owner was responding to the limited partners of the team who, according to Pro Football Talk, wanted Mike Tomlin fired after Pittsburgh’s 45-42 divisional round loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars.

“You know I didn’t get that letter yet, so I don’t know if it got lost in the mail or if it’s coming by Pony Express,” he said, smiling. “I’m not sure what happened, but I never got that letter.”

The limited partners do not have control over staffing decisions. Rooney does.

In his annual sit-down with local beat reporters, Rooney stated and re-stated his support for the head coach. He acknowledged the Steelers’ 2017 season was unusual and that he wished a couple public comments by members of the team hadn’t been made, but repeatedly dismissed the notion of Pittsburgh lacking focus.

Tomlin holds the best record of any modern-era Steelers head coach, including Chuck Noll, and the highest winning percentage of any head coach in franchise history through the first 11 years of their careers in Pittsburgh.

LAKE LEAVING TEAM

Steelers defensive backs coach Carnell Lake is leaving the team, he announced on Wednesday.

In his statement, Lake said he decided to return to California to be a part of his youngest son’s final year of high school football.

“I want to thank Mr. Art Rooney II and the Rooney family, Coach Mike Tomlin, Kevin Colbert, the coaching staffs I have worked with throughout my time in Pittsburgh, and the entire Steelers organization,” Lake said in his statement. “It has been a privilege and honor to play and coach for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

NFL BRIEFS

‘Rivalry on’ after McDaniels backs out BOSTON — Josh McDaniels sent ripples throughout the NFL with his decision to pull out of an agreement to become the Indianapolis Colts’ head coach.

He has yet to speak publicly about what factored into the 11th hour about-face. But McDaniels’ return as New England’s offensive coordinator keeps a possible successor for Patriots coach Bill Belichick in house.

Belichick gave no indication after the Super Bowl loss to Philadelphia on Sunday night that he plans to exit in 2018.

And just last month he said that it was “absolutely” his intention to be back for his 19th season with the Patriots.

It’s unclear how McDaniels’ decision will affect him regarding future opportunities with other NFL teams, a gamble should he never get the opportunity to lead the Patriots.

Colts general manager Chris Ballard said Wednesday that the assistants that McDaniels had already hired to be on his staff would have their contracts honored.

“The rivalry is back on,” he said before leaving the press conference.

He hoped to accomplish both during his third season in the NBA, his first as the unquestioned star of the New York Knicks.

But those plans were derailed when Porzingis crashed to the court, punching the floor in pain after a dunk in the second quarter of a loss to the Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday night.

An MRI revealed a torn left ACL, an injury that will sideline Porzingis for the rest of this season and perhaps a good deal of the next.

“Was hoping for the best news when I saw the play after the game,” LeBron James wrote on Twitter . “Best wishes and have a speedy healthy recovery.”

Porzingis was set to play on James’ team next week when he made his debut as an All-Star, and he was also set to defend his title in the Skills Challenge. He hoped to return from Los Angeles to a playoff race after not coming close in his first two seasons.

Those Knicks’ hopes suffered a huge blow when Porzingis went down. The Knicks were already facing a tough climb from 11th place in the Eastern Conference, and that would have been difficult even with Porzingis carrying them.

Men

PHILADELPHIA — St. John’s watched a desperation heave clang off the rim and players broke into wide smiles and raised their arms in triumph. The Red Storm ran toward their reserves for joyous, leaping chest bumps that the program waited more than three decades to bust out for such an occasion.

Winless and woeful no more, the Red Storm are abruptly toppling Final Four contenders.

St. John’s took down another of the nation’s elite, and stunned No. 1 Villanova 79-75 on Wednesday night for its second win over a top-five team this week – and first over the top-ranked team in 33 years.

Shamorie Ponds scored 26 points to spark the Red Storm (12-13, 1-11 Big East) to their first conference win of the season and easily their best week since Chris Mullin was in uniform, not the coach.

The Wildcats (22-2, 9-2) ended a nine-game winning streak and will surely tumble from the top of the national rankings, where they’ve spent the last five weeks at No. 1.

Jalen Brunson, a leading candidate for national player of the year, nearly rallied Villanova to victory down the stretch. He buried a jumper and scored on a fastbreak set up

by Omari Spellman’s blocked shot to make it 67-63. St. John’s turned the ball over off the inbounds play and Brunson, who led the Wildcats with 28 points, made the Red Storm pay on a crashing layup that sent him to the line. He hit the free throw to pull Nova to 67-66 with 1:34 left.

Marvin Clark II flexed his muscles toward the St. John’s bench when he was fouled on a bucket. He sank the free throw to push the Red Storm’s lead back to four.

Collin Gillespie nearly helped make it 10 straight wins for the Wildcats when he pulled them to 74-73 on a 3-pointer with 23 seconds left. But that was about the only clutch 3 of the game for the Wildcats – they missed 25 of 33 attempts.

“It was desperation time trying to find a way to steal it in the end,” Brunson said. “If we had 30 more seconds, we possibly could have got it done.”

Rangers trade QB-infielder Wilson to Yanks

NEW YORK — Riley Nash and Zdeno Chara scored first-period goals and Patrice Bergeron added two in the second to help the surging Boston Bruins swamp the New York Rangers 6-1 on Wednesday night.

Tanaka went with his heart staying with Yanks TAMPA, Fla. — Masahiro Tanaka went with his heart when deciding not to opt out of the final three seasons of his $155 million, seven-year contract signed in January 2014 with the New York Yankees.

“We went into battle with these guys, last year especially,” Tanaka said Wednesday through a translator after a bullpen session at the Yankees’ minor league complex.

“My thought was I want to go out and battle with these guys again and try to really get to where we want to get.”

New York came within one game of reaching the World Series last season, losing in Game 7 of the ALCS to Houston.

Giants to retire Bonds’ No. 25 jersey in August SAN FRANCISCO — Home run king Barry Bonds will have his No. 25 jersey retired this August by the San Francisco Giants when his former Pittsburgh Pirates are in town.

The Giants announced Tuesday they would hold a ceremony to honor the former slugger and seven-time NL MVP on Aug. 11. He will become only the 12th player from the New York or San Francisco Giants to have his number retired.

Bonds, now 53, broke Hank Aaron’s home run record with No. 756 on Aug. 7, 2007. He finished his 22-year big league career in 2007 with 762 homers.

He says, “I’m both honored and humbled that the Giants are going to retire my number this season.”

The U.S. Olympic Committee has until March to pick a city for 2026, though chief executive Scott Blackmun said recently that officials believe the 2030 Winter Olympics are more realistic for a U.S. city.

In the U.S., Denver and Reno are considering bids.

PYEONGCHANG 2018 WINTER OLYMPICS

LET THE GAMES BEGIN From staff and wire reports

These Olympics, like all of them before, are not all fun and games. Tensions between North Korea and the United States led to numerous questions about whether the U.S. would even send a team.

It will. Russia, however, will not.

After a doping scandal, only Russians who can prove they are clean will compete as “Olympic Athlete From Russia.” Any medals they win will not count for Russia.

That gives the United States a chance to top the medals table over its 17-day stay in South Korea.

Mikaela Shiffrin, a 22-year-old from Colorado, who became the youngest Olympic slalom champion four years ago, might be poised to take home the most hardware. She’s entering five individual events and a team event that is new to the Olympics this year.

Also keep your eye on alpine skier Lindsey Vonn, who is returning to the games after missing in 2014. The 33-yearold’s best shots are in the downhill and the super-G. Nathan Chen is America’s best hope for gold in figure skating. The master of the quad, he plans five of those jumps in his free skate.

Maame Biney, 17, a Ghana native, is the first black woman to qualify for a U.S. speedskating team. She should contend at 500 meters.

Certainly, there will be plenty of awe-inspiring moments and lots of surprises to come.

Pennsylvania proud Nine athletes from Pennsylvania will be competing in the Winter Games, plus a hockey player that will be familiar to fans of the Hershey Bears.

Those with ties to central Pennsylvania include:

Chris Bourque: Originally from Massachusetts, Bourque is well-known to fans of the Hershey Bears.

The 5’8” offensive player has made 12 goals so far this season with the Bears.

He has played in the AHL, NHL, in two World Junior Championships and the Deutschland Cup. Summer Britcher: A 23-year-old from Glen Rock, York County, is competing in women’s luge for the second Olympics. She took her first luge run at Ski Liberty in Adams County, riding a plastic sled down a 700-foot chute at 25 mph.

Her competition begins at 5:30 a.m. Monday.

PYEONGCHANG 2018 WINTER OLYMPICS Prime-time viewing NBC begins its Olympic TV coverage tonight and carries it through Feb. 25. Look for 2,400 hours of live streaming at nbcolympics.com and on cable channels NBCSN (10 days of 24-hour programming), CNBC (lots of curling) and USA Network (lots of hockey).

There’s a 14-hour difference between Pyeongchang and the Eastern U.S. For the first time at a Winter Games, NBC will provide live primetime coverage in each U.S. time zone, featuring skiing, snowboarding and figure skating.

A full schedule can be found at nbcolympics. com. Here are highlights of the first week:

TODAY

NBC 8-11:30 p.m. Figure Skating: Team Event (LIVE), Men’s Short Program, Pairs’ Short Program; Freestyle Skiing: Men’s & Women’s Moguls NBCSN 8-11:35 p.m. Mixed Doubles Curling: United States vs. Switzerland; Alpine Skiing: Men’s Downhill Training (LIVE); Luge: Men’s Training

FRIDAY

NBC 8-11 p.m. Opening Ceremony

Don’t miss these events 8. BIG AIR

5. SHORT TRACK SPEED SKATING

Olympic bosses added another snowboarding event to the schedule this year, and it’s a doozy. Big Air involves snowboarders catapulting themselves up a 45-foot ramp, then traveling up to 90 feet skyward before searching for the ‘‘sweet spot’’to stick the landing.

The vaunted‘‘triple cork’’ — three flips and as many rotations as possible — will win the men’s event, which begins Feb. 21. Remember this name: Red Gerard.

4. CURLING Once you figure out the strategy — and it really isn’t all that complicated — it can be mesmerizing. This sport gets underway today and runs all through the games.

It is amazing what these athletes can do in the halfpipe. All eyes will be on Shaun White, who is making his fourth Olympic trip. Women’s halfpipe starts Monday and men’s on Tuesday.

SUNDAY

NBC 7-11 p.m. Figure Skating: Team Event Gold Medal Final (LIVE), Men’s Free Skate, Ladies’ Free Skate, Ice Dancing Free Dance; Alpine Skiing: Women’s Giant Slalom (LIVE); Freestyle Skiing: Women’s Moguls Gold Medal Final; Snowboard: Women’s Slopestyle Gold Medal Final; Luge: Men’s Singles Gold Medal Final Runs NBCSN 8-11:30 p.m. Snowboarding: Women’s Slopestyle Gold Medal Final (LIVE); Curling: Mixed Doubles Semifinal

It’s like a demolition derby on skates, and the venue is always hopping. For the U.S., Maame Biney is making history as the first black female skater on the short track team.

Heats begin on Saturday.

7. SNOWBOARDING

NBC 8-11 p.m. Figure Skating: Team Event (LIVE), Ice Dancing Short Dance, Ladies’ Short Program; Alpine Skiing: Men’s Downhill Gold Medal Final NBCSN 7-9:45 p.m. Snowboarding: Men’s Slopestyle Gold Medal Final (LIVE) 9:45 p.m.-1:30 a.m. Mixed Doubles Curling: United States vs. Finland; Snowboarding: Women’s Slopestyle (LIVE)

MONDAY

NBC 8-11:30 p.m. Alpine Skiing: Men’s Combined, Downhill Run (LIVE) Snowboarding: Women’s Halfpipe Gold Medal Final (LIVE), Men’s Halfpipe (LIVE); Speedskating: Women’s 1500m Gold Medal Final

3. HOCKEY

1. OPENING CEREMONY

Do you believe in miracles? A U.S. victory in the Olympic hockey tournament wouldn’t rise to 1980 ‘‘Miracle On Ice’’ standards, but it would be quite a shock. The NHL opted not to send its players to Pyeongchang — a decision that hamstrings both the United States and Canada. Despite the doping issues, the Russians will field a team and are favored to win gold. Playoffs begin Feb. 19.

The Parade of Nations and the lighting of the cauldron will be televised beginning 8 p.m. Friday. Details of the program are always closely guarded, but we know it will have a peace theme. Expect K-pop performances as well.

2. FIGURE SKATING

6. BIATHLON

There’s a reason NBC clears the prime-time slots for this. The athletes are incredible and the drama intense. The team events kick off the games, and the individual programs begin Feb. 16. Nathan Chen is America’s best hope for a gold medal, but the men competing this year know the deciding factor will be how many quad jumps they can land.

The U.S. biathlon team has been on a steady upward climb. The biggest step would the one onto the Olympic podium, a place an American has never been. If it’s going to happen, Susan Dunklee, Lowell Bailey or Tim Burke will probably be the ones to do it. Events begin Saturday.

The medals The edge of each medal features Hangul, the Korean alphabet, in a series of consonants symbolizing the athletes from around the world coming together to compete. Each symbol extends across the medal’s front face to create a texture similar to a tree trunk.
