Council committee considers fee for woody waste By Eric Wise
Press And Journal Staff
Middletown residents will begin paying for woody waste disposal if Middletown Borough Council enacts changes discussed during a meeting of council’s Finance Committee on Monday, Oct. 13. Councilor Benjamin Kapenstein said the borough must increase and implement fees for government services, including woody waste recycling. When the woody waste program began, the borough Web site said, “The monthly trash collection fee supports the cost of [woody waste recycling].” It’s unclear when money from the trash collection fee stopped supporting woody waste recycling or exactly how much of residents’ trash payments were directed to it. “All fees are going to be raised,” said Councilor Suzanne Sullivan, one of three committee members who discussed a list of increases to fees and other revenue generators suggested in Middletown’s Early Intervention Plan. Sullivan, Kapenstein and Councilor Vicki Malone discussed the increases as members of the committee without taking action. Kapenstein said the intervention plan suggested imposing a fee of $35 for annual access to the woody waste site for residents. He said council would have to approve an overhaul of the program to make that happen. Resident Rachelle Reid balked at the $35 fee, countering by suggesting $20 annually. Reid said that contractors and landscapers should be charged more than residents for use of the facility.
The partnership that owns The Manor Restaurant & Lounge near Hershey has big plans for the former Lamp Post Inn on East Main Street in Middletown. Zoumas Enterprises is applying for a hotel liquor license for the Lamp Post Inn, which closed on April 19, with the intent of buying the property. Peter Zoumas Sr., a partner in Zoumas Enterprises, said that the partnership plans to buy the building at 101 E. Main St. as soon as approval for the license can be obtained. He said that the partnership plans to spend at least $250,000 on extensive renovations both inside and outside the building.
Once those renovations are finished, Zoumas will reopen the restaurant, probably as The Black Horse Tavern, a name that the business used to have dating back to the 1800s. “We are going to try and restore the outside to the original” look from the 1800s, Zoumas said. “We are going to have a brand new building when we are done with it.” According to Dauphin County records, the property is still owned by Elizabeth Heddy, of Hummelstown. Heddy told the Press And Journal in August that she wanted to retire, and that her goal was to sell the property to another entity that would reopen a restaurant in the building. Zoumas Enterprises completed a transformation of the former Please See LAMP POST, Page A6
Demey’s mystery box A 61-year-old time capsule reveals a school’s history
Student charged in alleged rape of fellow student
NEWS
This roughhewn copper box was discovered by a crew while demolishing Alice Demey Elementary School.
A
funny thing happened when officials opened up the cornerstone of the former Demey Elementary School in Middletown to retrieve a time capsule stored
inside. There was no time capsule. A ceremony was planned for Dec. 14 to unveil the contents of the time capsule to the public. But officials in the Middletown Area School District first wanted a sneak peek inside, to make sure that there would be no “Geraldo Rivera moment,” according to Earl Bright IV, principal of Reid Elementary School. In one of the biggest TV goofs of all time, Rivera hosted a much ballyhooed special in 1986 where a secret vault that Al Capone once owned was opened before a live national audience. The vault was empty. So with bad weather hitting the area, and a missing time capsule, school officials can-
Middletown police have charged a Penn State Harrisburg student with the off-campus rape of another Penn State Harrisburg student on Saturday, Sept. 20 in the Village of Pineford. Yufan Yan, 19, was charged with sexually assaulting the 24-year-old woman in her apartment in Pineford, according to a criminal complaint filed by police in magisterial district court. Both Yan and the alleged victim are Chinese nationals who had been friends, police said. Both live in Pineford, according to the complaint. Yan was charged with rape, unlawful restraint/serious bodily injury, simple assault and indecent assault. He was released from Dauphin County Prison after Yufan Yan $50,000 bail was posted on his behalf. According to the complaint, Yan went to the victim’s apartment sometime in the afternoon and began making unwanted sexual advances. The victim resisted, at which point police allege that Yan carried the woman into her bedroom, threw her on the bed and got on top of her. The victim was able to escape but received injuries to her left forearm while trying to get away from Yan, police said. A preliminary hearing for Yan is scheduled for Nov. 12 before District Judge David Judy.

A Middletown resident has formally submitted a complaint to the borough alleging wrongful arrest by a Middletown police officer. Brian Williams, of the 100 block of Catherine S., told the Press And Journal that the incident took place on Aug. 15. Three days later, on Monday, Aug. 18, Williams told Middletown Borough Council about the incident during the public comment period of a council meeting. At that time, council President Christopher McNamara advised Williams to submit a formal complaint so that the incident could be investigated. Williams contacted Mayor James H. Curry III, who oversees the police department. Williams said Curry advised him to submit the complaint to Borough Manager Tim Konek. Borough spokesman Chris Courogen confirmed that Konek has received Williams’ complaint. But Courogen said borough officials are “befuddled” as to why Curry directed Williams to submit the complaint to the manager when Middletown police policy calls for such complaints to go to the department. Curry said he wanted to avoid a conflict of interest, since the police department comes under the mayor. Curry said that he plans for Williams’ complaint to be investigated by Transparency Matters, a private firm run by retired Pennsylvania State Police Lt. Col. John R. “Rick” Brown. Brown has worked for the borough before. His investigation of former part-time Middletown Police Officer Joshua N. Reager led to council firing Reager on Sept. 2 for allegedly violating the police department’s vehicle pursuit policy. The Middletown Police Officer’s Association has filed a grievance contesting Reager’s termination.

Following is a compilation of reports from the Middletown Police Department. Please be aware all those charged/cited are presumed innocent unless proven otherwise in a court of law. DUI, drug charges Anthony R. Ebersole, 20, of the 4000 block of Whitman Lane, Middletown, was charged with DUI-controlled substance (two counts), possession of a small amount of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia, police report. The charges were filed following Ebersole’s arrest around 4 a.m. on July 4 after a traffic stop in the area of East Main and Hoffer streets. Ebersole was driving a 1997 Honda with a cracked windshield and inoperative tail lights, police said. Officers smelled an odor of marijuana in the vehicle and during a search of the car marijuana and drug paraphernalia were found, police said. Following field sobriety tests, Ebersole was taken to the Dauphin County Judicial Center, where blood was drawn to determine the possible presence of intoxicants. Results of the tests were not reported. A passenger in Ebersole’s car, Ste-

Brown had also been retained by the borough to investigate Middletown Police Officer Andrew Crone for alleged violations of department policy. Crone resigned on Sept. 15. Williams said Konek told him that investigating the complaint could take “longer” due to new Middletown Police Chief John Bey just coming on board. Bey’s first day was Monday, Oct. 13. Williams seems OK with that, so long as his complaint is not ignored. “I don’t want it just swept under the rug. I don’t want this to be another incident where they say ‘file the report’ and nothing happens,” Williams said. The Press and Journal has not seen the complaint. For that reason, the identity of the officer or officers cited in the complaint is not known. The borough denied a Right-To-Know request submitted by the Press And Journal for a copy of the complaint. Courogen, who is the borough’s RightTo-Know officer, said in a letter to the Press And Journal that the request was denied on grounds that the complaint involves “potential criminal conduct.” Williams told the Press And Journal that the incident occurred when a borough police officer approached him while he was a passenger in a car driven by his girlfriend. The couple’s 2-year-old son was in the back seat. Williams said the officer saw Williams pumping gas at the 7-Eleven at Union and Main streets, and pulled the car over on Union Street when the girlfriend drove off. Williams said the officer handcuffed him and verbally abused him and his girlfriend in front of the child. Williams alleged the officer placed him under arrest for outstanding warrants and took him to the Dauphin County booking center. However, Williams said he was released “within 20 minutes” after a district judge found no active warrants.

Marie Elizabeth Kieffer, continued - By Tom Durkin
Daniel married, moved to Indiana, and had four children: Lewis married Ephia Kieffer, daughter of Isaac Kieffer, granddaughter of Nicholas Kieffer and great-granddaughter of immigrant Abraham Kieffer (and, therefore, a second cousin). This source lists seven of their children and further information about most of them. Simon married Elizabeth Espy and was a farmer and merchant in Reedsburg, Ohio. This source lists eight children. Hannah married Benjamin Keefer; Sibbie (likely Sybil, Sybbila or Sibbila, and spelled Civilla in Abraham Kieffer II’s will) married Christian Keefer. Mary married Stephen Keefer. (Third marriage is also noted in Abraham Kieffer II’s will). Catherine was born in 1804, died in 1845 and in 1828 married William C. Grim, a merchant of Wooster, Ohio. This Annals source lists four children. Elizabeth married John Owen who was born in 1786 and died December 18, 1854, a schoolmaster at Cove Gap (Franklin County). This source names eight children. Susan married Gideon Keefer and the Annals reports three children for them. In The Keefer Families late Pete Keefer also provided a bit of further information on some of these children and their descendants in his Chapter VIII on the Franklin County Keefers. I will not highlight the extent of the additions here because those interested can easily do so for themselves and because Pete did not provide many specific references to his sources. I will mention two errors, however, one simple and one more significant. Both apparently arose from relying on 20th century family contacts for unverified additional information. The simple one is that Pete indicated Abraham Kieffer II’s daughter Elizabeth and her husband John Owen had 14 children. They were my ancestors and I have found they had only eight children who grew to significant age and one who did not. I am not aware of the five more. Can a Keefer researcher prove of the five children missing? More importantly, The Keefer Families list a 15th child of Abraham Kieffer II and Catherine Bieber/Beaver, a son George born c. 1786 who married Mary Catherine Ermentraudt and moved to the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. This George Kieffer has produced some difficulties. Apparently descendants of this couple have in the past believed that this George Kieffer was a son of Abraham Kieffer II even though there was no documentation. Somewhere along the line Peter Keefer must have picked up on this from someone and he also listed George Kieffer as a son of Abraham Kieffer II and included him in his book. Pete later realized this was a mistake and apologized for it in a brief note in the March 2008 Kieffer/Keefer Family Newsletter (p. 9). What apparently happened is that sometime in the past Pete learned that some women had obtained membership in the Daughters of the American Revolutions (DAR) lineage society many decades earlier based on descent from Abraham Kieffer II through a son George who married to Mary Catherine Ermentraudt. But also somewhere along the way the DAR became aware that there was no documentation for this George Kieffer and the society accepting members based on him. Because of the continuing confusion about this individual, the society soon stopped accepting any new members based on descent from Abraham Kieffer II without new lineage proof. I know this because I have found that the DAR descent files often to be good sources of various forms of documentation (such as unpublished Bible records) not available elsewhere, and this decision is right there in the files. I am obviously not trying to join the DAR, and I am able to prove my own descent from Abraham Kieffer II through the Owen family, but some others may find this DAR difficulty inconvenient, if they are trying to join the DAR based upon descent from Abraham Kieffer II. There is discussion by Marilyn Skinner on how to go about joining the DAR in the September 2007 Kieffer/Keefer Family Newsletter on p. 23. DNA testing in 2007 finally proved once and for all that descendants of this George Kieffer are not descended from Abraham Kieffer II (see the Kieffer/ Keefer Family Newsletter article mentioned above for March 2008). This should start to clear the cloud surrounding Abraham Kieffer II with the DAR, if someone should want to take on the project of properly informing them.

Carroll County, Maryland Wills Available At Family Search The Carroll County Genealogical Society recently reported that FamilySearch released a new database containing many Carroll County records from the Register of Wills office. This database contains administrative indexes, accounts, and bonds, claims, dockets, estate papers, executors and administrators, guardian, accounts, indentures, inventories, minutes of proceedings, releases, sales of personal property, sales of real estate, will indexes and wills from 1629 to 1999. To access the wills go to www.familysearch.org, from the search tab, select Browse All Published Collections under place select United States, and then Maryland. Then under collections select Probate & Court. Select the database named Maryland Register of Wills Records, 1629-1999, and then Carroll County. Before you access the will “books,” first view the index for the years you are researching. The index is alphabetical by testator and provides the Liber (book number), Folio (page number), Testator name, executor or administrator name, and date of probate. Using this information, select the appropriate will database and enter the folio number in the image box. Since the image numbers and Folio (page) numbers do not match you will need to calculate a new image number based on the difference between the image number and the Folio (page) number. For example, the first entry in the Will Index 1837-1939 Vol. 1837-1939 Vol. HGB, no. 1 is: Anna Maria Angel in Liber J.B. 1, Folio 428. The executor was J. Henry Hoppe and the estate was probated Aug. 10, 1846. Using this information select “Wills 1837-1853, Vol. JB, no 1.” Then enter the folio number in the image box. This will take you to image 384. Since you are looking for folio (page) 428, enter 472 in the image box (428-384=44 and 428+44=472). At the bottom of the page you should find the beginning of the will for Ann Maria Angel. Following the will book databases are the will manuscripts. If the database name does not contain a volume reference, then the will is mostly likely in one of the collections of loose wills rather than a will book. These wills are more difficult to access since they are arranged by year/month and then with numbers. Most of these databases are less than 300 images to make them easier to browse. If you have a good idea of the time frame then you should be able to find yours. Our Name’s The Games Monthly Newsletter Vol. 40 No.1 July/August 2014 p. 2.

Obligation, Obsession, Power Trip Or What? Why People Are Willing To Be Volunteer Firefighters There are perhaps 60 or 70 “active” members in Middletown’s three fire companies. All of these qualified firefighters have been trained in the proper ways of dealing with fires and in the best methods of performing their accepted duties with the least risk to themselves and to the citizens they serve. But, given the long hours these volunteers must spend in studies and in training to do their jobs effectively, it’s difficult, if not impossible, to understand why anyone chooses to devote so much time and energy in the effort to protect the majority of us and our community from the havoc fires can cause. In the current dispute over Middletown Borough Council’s recent decision to look into the possibility of consolidating the community’s three fire companies, there’s been little mention of the roles our volunteer firefighters play in protecting us and our property from fire. And even less has been said about how consolidation might affect those who elect to serve as volunteer firefighters. Why does an apparently normal man, woman or youngster decide to join a volunteer fire company? Surely, veteran firefighters explain to them how much of their “spare” time it will consume, the hours of training they’ll need before they are actually qualified to serve on a fire crew at the scene of a blaze and the risks they’ll face in fighting a fire? Despite those warnings, many are still willing to serve as volunteer “smoke-eaters.” And most of those who volunteer continue to serve their fire companies and their communities for as much as 30 or 40 years. Why? Some people have a sense that they’re fulfilling a duty to the community by serving as volunteer firefighters. Others point to the camaraderie

23 YEARS AGO - Blue Raiders’ Most Loyal New And Old Fans – That’s Frederick Harry (Trey) McElwee III, son of Nanette and Frederick Harry McElwee Jr. of Middletown, in the center. He’s the little guy and you may guess that football will be a big part of his life. Towering behind him is his grandfather Fred McElwee Sr., the equipment manager for the Middletown Blue Raiders and by now you probably also guessed that it’s the Raider Cheerleaders offering a few moments of half-time babysitting.

that making such drastic cuts could substantially increase the operating costs of unreplaced older machinery. Some members of Council reportedly seem to favor the idea of increasing taxes to cover the shortfall. If the Borough raised the municipal property tax rate from 2.07 mills to about 5 mills, it would generate about $360,000, Hamer said, enough to cover $350,000 needed to balance the proposed 1992 budget. But it appears that most councilmen favor a small increase in the Borough’s electric rate. Hamer explained that a half-cent rate boost for that service would also be sufficient to generate the needed $350,000.

way the economy’s going,” Cope said in a recent interview. “But I do know that the competition is getting tougher and we’re being squeezed by new state and federal regulations and additional taxes. “What all that means is that we’ve got to find ways to trim our costs wherever we can and increase the efficiency of our operations. If we don’t, we’ll be history.” With that sobering thought in mind, Tom Cope is looking at every aspect of his firm’s operations so the Company can continue to be among the nation’s top producers of specialized food products. Cope’s, which has been located in Rheems since 1962, is now one of six major companies in the East processing cob corn and cut corn products. In addition to dried sweet corn, the Rheems Company’s products include frozen cut corn, frozen peas, frozen soups, popcorn, “flash blanched” mushrooms, sweet corn powder and its most popular item, frozen white sweet corn. Tom Cope notes that his company’s rapid growth has virtually halted as a result of the current recession. But he says he regards that merely as “a pause” in the Company’s march toward winning a bigger share of the market and even greater brand name recognition. Like most other businessmen, Tom Cope hopes the national economy will come out of its slump soon. But, even if it doesn’t, Tom vows that John F. Cope Food Products, Inc., will be ready to meet the economic challenges and the competition.
Conoy Awarded Grant For Twp. Canal Project A vision is on its way to becoming a reality in Conoy Township, as the Conoy Board of Supervisors were presented with a $250,000 check for a Township canal project. The check, presented by state Rep. Tom Armstrong at the Board’s meeting Thursday, October 10, was a longawaited grant from the Pa. Department of Community Affairs. According to Chairman of the Board Robert Strickland, the Township applied to the state for the grant last year. Money was requested for a project involving approximately 3 miles of land along the old Pennsylvania Canal in the Township. With a volunteer crew, Strickland explained, officials plan to build picnic areas, a hiking trail and an estimated 10 cross-water footbridges in the canal area. Strickland said that project construction would probably start before the end of the year, to be in “full swing” by next spring.

CAPSULE Continued From Page One
celled the December event. Fast forward to Funny Thing No. 2: About three weeks ago, a crew that was demolishing the Demey school for new owner Penn State Harrisburg found the time capsule. University officials sent an e-mail to the school district that said the capsule had been found.
The e-mail found its way to Bright, which makes sense. Besides bleeding Middletown blue, Bright has a number of personal connections to the Demey school. He was a student there as a boy, and he was the last principal of Demey when the district closed the school in 2003. And he is president of the Middletown Area School District Alumni Association, which has more than a passing interest in the history of all things Blue Raider. Bright was admittedly “giddy” about seeing what was inside the capsule. He could hear the contents rattling around inside. But he had to control his excitement until he could figure out how to open the thing. The box – homemade, Bright suspects – was made of copper and sealed shut. He consulted with some friends in construction, who advised him to melt the solder with a torch. Using flame and a putty knife, “it popped right open,” Bright said. Feeling a need to share the event with someone, Bright contacted Marie Drazenovich, a longtime school district employee who is director of student services. He met Drazenovich in the board room of the district office on Water Street, where the two history buffs became the first people to lay eyes on the contents of the time capsule since it was buried 61 years ago. In contrast to the time capsule opened recently as part of the Highspire bicentennial, filled with cultural mementos of the time – including a Beatles record – the Demey capsule doesn’t so much tell the story of Middletown and its culture in the 1950s as it tells the story of the Demey school itself, and of
the school district. There was one exception in the Demey capsule, however: One envelope was filled with a handful of coins, including an old Kennedy half dollar. Bright said the coins weigh more than coins do now, because they were made completely of silver. Today’s coins have just a silver coating, Bright said. The rest of the treasure trove consists of papers – legal documents, school board minutes and news clippings from the Press And Journal and the old Evening News, all of it related to why there was a need to build the Demey school, and how it was paid for. It’s difficult to conceive of how different things were back then. The site where the Penn State Harrisburg campus is now once housed enlisted airmen who were stationed on the nearby, now-defunct Olmsted Air Force Base and their families. As the papers in the time capsule attest, one of the groups that most strongly advocated for building the new Demey school was the Olmsted Homes Civic Association. In another one of those many personal connections, Bright’s father, Earl Bright III, lived in the Olmsted housing area while the senior Bright worked on the base. Even though the people who lived in the base housing area were transient – many of them Middletown residents for just two or three years – they advocated for a better education for their children. Bright said he is not sure where these children would have gone to school before the Demey school was built. Actually, the building didn’t start out as the Demey school. Also placed in the time capsule was a document providing for donation of the land for the school to the Middletown School District from the Grand View Realty Corp. The school was known as the Grand View Elementary School from 1953 until 1986, when the school was renamed for Alice Demey, who had taught in the Middletown district for 50 years. The district back then was known as Middletown Public Schools.

Lower Swatara Twp. and Royalton both had their own school systems. The schools in Lower Swatara were overcrowded, and Lower Swatara was paying tuition to allow its students to go to schools in Middletown and Highspire, which also had its own school system. The need for more space to accommodate the Lower Swatara students was another impetus for the Demey school. The new school cost $351,000 to build. Compare that to the new Middletown high school now under construction, which will cost about $40 million. But $351,000 probably seemed like $40 million back in the early 1950s. After all, then-Superintendent G.W. Feaser made a whopping $6,000 a year, and the entire Middletown Public Schools budget for 195354 was $403,563.50, compared to $40.6 million for 2014-15. The time capsule includes a frontpage clipping from the Press And Journal with a banner headline announcing Middletown being awarded a $307,970.50 grant to pay for the new school. Middletown voters approved by a landslide – 1,671 in favor to 208 against – a ballot referendum on whether the district should incur a $50,000 debt to pay for Demey school construction that was not covered by the federal grant. Among the other miscellaneous documents in the time capsule is a 1951 letter, handwritten in blue ink, from the Dauphin County Council of Parent-Teacher Associations to Feaser, requesting his support in starting a state and local parentteacher association. Many of the other documents related to the Demey school project, as well as district budget information and summaries of school board minutes, appear to have been typed by a Mary D. Downing, who was assistant secretary to the superintendent. Bright said that Downing is still alive and lives in Frey Village. Bright was struck by how detailed the district was in its record-keeping, especially when it came to athletics. A directory of the school district’s basketball program includes an inventory of all equipment, down to the number of basketballs that the district owned. The time capsule also includes booklets listing the names of every Middletown high school graduating class from 1876 – just three students – up to 1950. The booklet lists the teachers and staff who worked at every building for each of those years,

Kapenstein said these issues are the reason for an overhaul, especially to ensure cards are given to residents only. Changes that would replace the present access cards would generate untold costs for the borough and inconvenience to residents who have cards and are able to visit the site as needed. While the plan is to generate revenue from the new woody waste fee, the committee did not discuss the upfront costs of an overhaul or the time it would take to recoup such costs.

STEELTON-HIGHSPIRE FOOTBALL
MIDDLETOWN AREA FOOTBALL
corral West Perry, 34-7 By Noelle Barrett
Press And Journal Staff
Roller football is back. After a tumultuous 1-4 start to its season, Steelton-Highspire’s playoff hopes were hanging on by a thread. Then Oct. 3, the Rollers claimed a potential season-saving win, 20-14, over Camp Hill on Cottage Hill, knocking the Lions down from their top spot in the District 3 Class A ratings. The Rollers brought that same intensity with them to Elliotsburg on Friday, Oct. 10, crushing West Perry, 34-7. Steel-High Coach Andrew Erby hopes the second straight win is just the start of a winning streak. “We’re just getting ready,” Erby said. “We’re getting this group up to speed. They have been making progress.” The Rollers (3-4, 2-2 in the Mid-Penn Conference Capital Division) saw success both offensively and defensively against the Mustangs (0-7, 0-4). “Bryce Carter and Twynique Chisholm-Wilkerson made some good plays,” Erby said. “I think we’re pretty good in the box.That’s where our experience is, and I think with the combination of a good group of linebackers, we do well with tackling and our pursuit for the ball.” Steel-High tallied 411 yards of total offense, while holding West Perry to
only 179 yards. The Rollers defense held West Perry from scoring in the first half of the game. The Mustangs couldn’t say the same, however. “Defensively, I thought we played well. We were shorthanded – Jaron Grayer was out, and we had younger guys fill in,” Erby said. “It was good to see them have an opportunity to play. I think they filled in pretty well.” At the mid-mark of the first quarter, Shaheim Moody-Williams put the Rollers on the board on a 2-yard run. Malachi Young ran the ball into the end zone for the 2-point conversion, and Steel-High led, 8-0. Moody-Williams found his way to the end zone three times in the game, rushing 155 yards on 13 totes. Quarterback Jaki Bowman scored on a 1-yard run with 8:43 in the second quarter, and Nick Neidlinger added the extra point, making it 15-0. In the third quarter, West Perry would post its only score at the 5:02 mark when Zach Miller caught a 6-yard pass from Chris Lehman. Cole Lesh’s extra point was good, making it a 15-7 game. But the close score was short-lived. Moody-Williams bolted down the field on a 52-yard touchdown run with 4:49 in the third. The Rollers’ conversion Please See ROLLERS, Page B2

Raiders’ first-half blitz too much for Trinity, 36-8 Thompson runs for 188 yards, three TDs By Larry Etter
Press And Journal Staff
Asked what his week was like leading up to Middletown’s Capital Division clash with visiting Trinity on Friday, Oct. 10, Blue Raider Coach Brett Myers answered with a telling reply: “It was a week following a loss.” Myers was referring, of course, to his team’s setback against Milton Hershey the previous week, a game in which the Raiders saw their chances for an upset fade away in the second half. So Myers and his staff had to again challenge their team to step up its level of play in preparation of its meeting with Trinity. And the hard work and determination the staff got from the players paid huge dividends. The Raiders absorbed an early shot by the Shamrocks before staging a dominating comeback and posting an impressive 36-8 victory under the lights at War Memorial Field. While the offense was piling up big numbers in its ground game (330 yards rushing), the defense shrugged off Trinity’s early score and recorded a shutout the rest of the way in a dominating performance. The combination turned a potentially close game into a rout by Middletown. After the Raider offense picked up one first down on a 14-yard run by Justin Shaver in the early going, three straight incomplete passes forced Middletown Blue Raider defender Will Botterbusch sacks Trinity quarterback Hunter Geisel – one of (4-3, 2-2 in the Mid-Penn Conference four sacks he recorded in Middletown’s victory over the Shamrocks. Capital Division) to punt. With its first play of the game, Trinity (3-4, 2-2) shifted to one side and they went to the other,” of an offside penalty against the Shamrocks, shocked the home side when John Miller broke free on an 81-yard touchdown run. With Myers said of the touchdown. A quick adjust- the Raiders tied the game, 8-8, on Thompson’s the 2-point conversion run by quarterback ment kept that from happening again, however. 2-point dive. On the ensuing kickoff, Middletown’s Jaelen Middletown linebacker Caleb Leggore broke Hunter Geisel successful, the Shamrocks quickly led by an 8-0 count and sent an uneasy Thompson returned the ball to the Raider up a Trintiy pass, then sacked the Trinity 40-yard line. On first down, Thompson cut quarterback, leading a defensive stand that feeling through the home side bleachers. Amazingly, that turned out to be Trinity’s only through a gap on the right side provided by forced a Shamrock punt, and the Raiders guard Tommy Staker and tackle Ethan Newton took over at their own 35-yard line.

Raiders’ JV soccer squad finishes year undefeated The Middletown junior varsity boys’ soccer squad completed an amazing undefeated season, including seven consecutive victories, when it defeated Waynesboro, 3-1 on Saturday, Oct. 11 in Middletown. The fortunes of the junior varsity Raiders (13-0-4) are important because the varsity squad will graduate 12 seniors after the season ends. Against Waynesboro, freshman Donavan Brady scored a goal on an assist from Jarod Frekot. An own goal off a Brady set piece, and an unassisted Brady tally off another set piece gave Middletown the victory. Brady led the JV team with 6 goals
and was credited with two assists. Frekot led the team with a total of 17 points, including 5 goals. The scoring, however, was spread around evenly, as 15 out of 19 players either had a goal or an assist. Junior goalkeeper Andrew Yeich had an outstanding season in goal, but also contributed in the field with 3 goals of his own when relieved of his net minding duties by backup keeper Tommy Lee. The two keepers only allowed 6 goals against them the entire season. Middletown found the back of the net 34 times in their 17 games for an Please See JV SOCCER, Page B4

MIDDLETOWN AREA BOYS’ SOCCER
Strong second half leads LD over Wildcats, 38-21, By Jim Lewis
Press And Journal Staff
Photo by Jodi Ocker
After a half filled with highs and lows, missed opportunities in the red zone and a missed defensive assignment that led to the opponent’s first touchdown, Lower Dauphin Coach Rob Klock issued this halftime message to his team in the locker room: I am feeling frustrated. Frustrated that offensive drives stall and scoring opportunities slip away. Frustrated that each defensive mistake seems to result in the ultimate football punishment: a touchdown by the opposition. Frustrated that his Falcons only led Mechanicsburg by three points, 17-14, at the half. “I thought we were better than three points better than that team,’’ Klock said. “We really should have had two more touchdowns. We need to wake up and find some consistency.’’ The Falcons did awaken in the second half, scoring two touchdowns in the third quarter by mixing an effective passing attack with a strong running game to subdue the Wildcats, 38-21 on Friday, Oct. 10 in Mechanicsburg. The win kept Lower Dauphin (61, 3-1 in the Mid-Penn Conference Keystone Division) in second place in the division, one game behind leader Bishop McDevitt. Mechanicsburg fell to 2-5, 0-3 in the division. Falcon quarterback Tommy Klock threw two touchdown passes in the second half, one to Adam Zeiders in the third quarter that increased Lower

Lower Dauphin defender Ben Ross, left, sacks Mechanicsburg quarterback Tyler Schubert. Dauphin’s lead to 31-14, and another to Bailey Shutt, a 10-yarder in the fourth quarter that galvanized the victory. “I think we are making steps in the right direction,’’ Rob Klock said of the Falcons’ balanced offensive attack. “I would love it if we could be more balanced.’’ For the last couple seasons, the Falcons have parlayed powerful runners and offensive linemen into a steamrolling running attack. For the first time in a couple games, Lower Dauphin seemed equally dangerous on the ground and in the air. On defense, the Falcons withstood a quick strike on a Mechanicsburg reverse that led to running back Shyheim Brown’s 1-yard touchdown run and a 7-0 Wildcat lead in the first quarter. Lower Dauphin running back George Hatalowich scored three touchdowns in the game, and his first, a 14-yard run, tied the game, 7-7 in the first quarter.
Hatalowich gave the Falcons a 14-7 lead with a 6-yard touchdown run in the second quarter. After Brown struck again for a touchdown run to tie the game, Falcon kicker Antonio Heredia made a 24-yard field goal to give Lower Dauphin the halftime edge, 17-14. Though he felt frustrated by the close score, Rob Klock was happy with his team’s reaction. “Nobody panicked, even when they took the 7-0 lead,’’ said Rob Klock. “They trust in the system, and they know they can get it done.’’ Hatalowich led all running backs with 138 yards on 23 carries. Tommy Klock was 14-of-21 for 176 yards and two touchdowns. Brown earned 67 yards on 16 carries. Jim Lewis: 717-944-4628, or jimlewis@pressandjournal.com

Eddie Arnold scored his first hat trick of the season, single-handedly laying waste to Northern York’s defense as Middletown beat the Polar Bears, 3-1 in a boys’ soccer game on Tuesday, Oct. 7 at War Memorial Field. It was the fifth victory in a row for the Blue Raiders, (12-5, 7-4 in the Mid-Penn Conference Capital Division), who are poised to qualify for the District 3 Class AA playoffs. The Raiders were rated ninth in the district’s power rankings, with the top 18 teams qualifying for a playoff spot. It was a special night for the Raiders, who honored hometown soccer hero Ben Olsen, a Middletown grad and pro soccer star who currently coaches Major League Soccer’s DC United. Middletown Mayor James H. Curry III read a proclamation declaring Friday, Oct. 7 as “Ben Olsen Day” in the borough. Olsen’s high school coach, Bob Stitt, and current Middletown coach, Larry Kapenstein, also made remarks before Olsen accepted gifts from the team. Olsen spent about 10 minutes talking to the team, and even visited the Raiders’ locker room at halftime to provide an inspirational speech. Arnold scored just three minutes into the match, beating several Northern players near the top of the box. He scored again in the 27th minute, and again in the 69th minute on assists from Mikey Brinton and Josh Alcock to seal the victory.

Eagles lose two titles, win playoff spot against Rams By Bob Stone
For The Press And Journal
Three big games were on tap when the Seven Sorrows Eagles hosted the Good Shepherd Rams on Sunday, Oct. 12 in a CFA Youth Football showdown at Middletown Area Middle School – the last home date for the Eagles. The Peewee and Pony division games decided division championships, while the winner of the Midget division game would secure a playoff spot.
SMURFS
Jamar McKinney scored three touchdowns and saved just as many on defense from his cornerback spot. Isaiah Shayter and Lewis Dillard also scored for the Eagles. Devon Reid, Matthew Gilhool and Daniel Gilhool had several tackles on defense. Caiden McDonald, Lucas Heckman and Gabrial Graham pitched in on the defensive effort, holding the Rams to one score.
PEEWEE Good Shepherd 20 Seven Sorrows 0
After a scoreless first quarter, the Rams scored early in the second, adding the extra-points kick for an 8-0 lead. The Eagles answered by marching down the field behind the running of Michael Barilla, Aidan Eckley, Logan Suhr and Anthony Stains. But a Seven Sorrows fumble at the Rams’ 10-yard line halted the drive. Good Shepherd then broke loose for a 63-yard touchdown run to push its halftime lead to 14-0. The Rams added another touchdown in the third quarter for the victory.
PONY Good Shepherd 20 Seven Sorrows 0
Despite the return of their top
running back, the Eagles struggled on offense again. John Stump, Brandyn Davis and Derek Wall found the running tough against a big Good Shepherd defense. The Rams scored twice in the first half to lead 14-0 at halftime. Nate McGlone, Max Eckley and Damian Williams led the Seven Sorrows defense, keeping the Rams scoreless in the third quarter. But a Good Shepherd touchdown in the fourth quarter sealed the Rams’ victory.
MIDGETS Seven Sorrows 24 Good Shepherd 0
The Eagles’ defense owned the game, holding their second consecutive opponent to negative yards of offense. Blake Keller had two quarterback sacks from his defensive end spot for Seven Sorrows. Anthony Holmes got the Eagles on the board with a 20-yard touchdown run. That would be all the scoring in the first half. Seven Sorrows took the secondhalf kickoff and drove right down the field, with Keller running the ball into the end zone from 22 yards out for a 12-0 Eagle lead. Two plays later, Holmes intercepted a Good Shepherd flare pass and returned it 35 yards for a touchdown and an 18-0 lead. Keller blocked a punt on the Rams’ next possession, and the pair, Holmes-to-Keller, connected for a touchdown on a halfback pass. Jason Moyer then ended any Ram comeback hopes with an interception. Dalton Varner, Quincy Reinnagel, BJ Stone and Jaquan Brown were tackling Rams running backs in their own backfield all day. Seven Sorrows closes its regular season with a trip to Halifax on Sunday, Oct. 19, then prepares for the playoffs.
Middletown running back Caleb Leggore (9) plows for more yardage against a Trinity defender.
Leggore, Thompson and Shaver, then a 28-yarder by Thompson moved the ball to the Trinity 10-yard line in just six plays. Thompson ran left behind blocks by offensive linemen Brent Newton, Mike Osayi and Griffin Radabaugh, cut sharply at the 8 and popped into the end zone at the 6:10 mark of the first quarter for his second touchdown of the game. Josh Alcock’s kick gave the Raiders a 15-8 lead. The Raiders quickly got the ball back on a fumble recovery right at the midfield stripe on Trinity’s first play following the kickoff. Freshman Brady Fox carried three straight times, Thompson added another run and Leggore caught a short pass from Nathan Ocker that moved the ball to the Trinity 21-yard line. With tackleturned-tight end Trey Michal joining the front line, Thompson again did the honors, getting the blocks he needed to spring free for his third touchdown run of the first quarter. The extra-point pushed the Raider advantage to 21-8 with 3:29 still left in the quarter. Trintiy moved the ball to the Middletown 22-yard line on its next possession, but the Shamrock threat was halted by safety Brett Altland’s pass interception at the Trinity 12-yard line. The Raiders were forced to punt this time, and a short kick gave the Shamrocks good field position at the 50. But Will Botterbusch’s sack on third-and-long, coupled with key plays by Jordan Flowers and Altland, stopped the Trinity drive in its tracks. Botterbusch made three more sacks in the game. After an exchange of punts, the Raiders took advantage of a short Shamrock kick, and the offense set up at the Trinity 35-yard line with 5:53 left in the first half. Ocker went to the air on first down and connected with Shaver, who was wide open in the middle of the field, and the pair hooked up for a 35-yard score that gave the Raiders a stunning 27-8 lead. Fox recovered a Trinity fumble at the Shamrock 24-yard line on the ensuing kickoff return, giving the Raiders another opportunity to pad their lead.
But the drive fizzled at the 9-yard line, and the Shamrocks took over. The Middletown defense kept the Shamrocks pinned deep, forcing another punt. With 2:09 left in the second stanza, the Raiders started at the Trinity 40-yard line. Shaver caught a pass from Ocker for 10 yards on first down and Leggore ran for 12 yards on third-and-10 for a new set of downs. Three plays later, Leggore and Ocker hooked up for yet another Middletown touchdown. Leggore snared Ocker’s pass near the 12-yard line and made two sharp cuts on his way to the end zone for the six points. Alcock’s kick gave the Blue & Gold a 34-8 lead with 58 seconds left in the half. Trinity came out fired up to start the second half, but its hopes for a rally fell apart right from the start of the third quarter. After going nowhere on their opening possession, the Shamrocks gave up a 2-point safety when a high center snap in punt formation sailed into the end zone. Following the ensuing free kick, the Raiders took over at midfield. Fox carried the ball eight times while Thompson and Leggore each added a run in a drive that reached the Trinity 3-yard line before running out of steam. From that point, it was simply a matter of the Middletown defense keeping Miller, Geisel and company in check. Mission accomplished. Miller had one more good run, a 26-yarder, the rest of the way and, with the exception of a late 32-yard run by backup quarterback Jordan McHugh-Moore, that was pretty much the extent of Trinity’s offense. John Stoner, Canar Morrison and Abel Botterbusch picked up some carries in the fourth quarter, and the second-team defense kept the visitors off the scoreboard in the late going. Thompson finished the night with 188 yards on 14 carries. Fox added 66 yards on 13 runs and Shaver and Leggore combined for 66 yards in the winning effort.

COLLEGE SOCCER
Lions upset No. 16 Salisbury, 1-0 The team motto of the Salisbury Seagulls, ranked No. 16 in Division III men’s soccer, is “Fear the Bird.’’ But Penn State Harrisburg didn’t seem to get the memo. Instead, the Lions displayed teamwork, toughness and heart, frustrating the previously unbeaten Seagulls and beating them 1-0 on Saturday, Oct. 11 in Middletown. It was Penn State Harrisburg’s
first-ever victory over a Division III nationally-ranked opponent in men’s soccer. Every time Salisbury (9-1-3, 3-1 in the Capital Athletic Conference) seemed to have an opportunity, Penn State Harrisburg (9-3, 2-2) took it away. Lion defenders Johnny Vanaskie, Jon Willingham and Christian Schmoyer kept the Salisbury attack on its heels – and often on its backs – as they sent a message every time a Salisbury forward thought he could get near
their goal. Lion goalkeeper Brandon Hoover was up for the challenge, making nine saves on Salisbury’s 13 shots. Both the teams and fans began to get restless, as everybody knew something had to give between the two teams as the clock slowly counted down. Eventually, Penn State Harrisburg’s Aaron Kline delivered. Late in the game, the Lions’Alex West delivered a cross into the Salisbury box that would find Kline for his third goal of the week.

Our hearts are full of love for our community and our world. Our service reflects that love. We think in different ways. But when we work together to serve others we share a common goal. Our doors swing wide, not just to let others in, but so that we can all go out to serve our community. We worship on Sunday morning at 8:30 and 10:30 a.m. Our early service is informal and features a Praise Band. Our later service follows a traditional pattern and includes all types of music.

EDITOR'SVOICE
Grosh House transfer is a positive, exciting step Editor, While I oppose the $1 million in taxpayer funds that Middletown Borough Council has spent since 2012 – in purchasing the Elks Building for $500,000, the Khlar building for $42,000 (not including demolition costs), the Danny Chen property across from the Brownstone (at Union and Emaus streets) for $325,000 (not including demolition costs for the removal of the three businesses on the property) and the Grosh House for $90,000 – I can say that finally the citizens of the town can look forward to something positive and encouraging for our community. Council voted to transfer the deed of 20 E. Main St., more commonly known as the Grosh House, to the Middletown Area Historical Society in an act that demonstrates to the community that council has finally taken a positive step towards improving the town's image and reputation while creating economic buzz and excitement amongst history buffs, researchers and individuals committed to preserving Middletown and the surrounding communities’ history. A transfer also means the taxpayers will no longer bear the burden of maintenance and utility costs on a property that has sat vacant for almost one year. The purpose of the museum and information center will be to showcase Middletown’s rich economic, social, political and cultural history, while highlighting structures built prior to the 1800s, as a deed from George Fisher (founding father of Middletown) dated March 1761 indicates that a log structure was built on the Grosh House lot around 1755. Middletown citizens should be proud of the industrial, railroad and war ties we have, as well as our ties to England and William Penn. Our founding father is a direct descendant of John Fisher, who sailed with William Penn, the founder of Pennsylvania, aboard the ship Welcome from England in 1692, and whose lineage is traced to Saintly John Fisher, Bishop of Rochester, England, who was a favorite of Henry VIII but opposed his divorce from Catherine of Aragon and was beheaded in 1535. This was a common practice of King Henry, who also famously beheaded some of his wives. Our town is rich in political and warfare history, as Middletown became a great center for supplies, soldiers and transportation during Revolutionary times. Simon Cameron, who built the Simon Cameron house on Main Street, which held the first bank in Dauphin County, was President Abraham Lincoln’s first Secretary of War. George Washington visited a tavern on Main Street in the mid-1700s that is now home of an appraisal firm. The historical center will also contain a room solely used for research and be dedicated to Grace DeHart, who by all accounts was a great woman who dedicated herself to researching and educating others on our town’s unique history with many published books and articles. As one who researches, I thank her and others for their efforts, as they have provided fascinating reading about the town’s history. With these and many other elements of our great history, a historical center would be an asset to the potential “rebirth” of the town, mostly by increasing tourism as well as unique educational opportunities. Middletown needs a permanent home dedicated to our history before our historical artifacts and stories become lost, damaged or destroyed. Diana McGlone Middletown

Pending Lamp Post sale a sign of our rebirth ocation, location, location? The Lamp Post Inn always had that going for it, sitting on busy East Main Street in Middletown since its days as a tavern in the 1800s. It’s been a popular spot for locals, so it was a bit of a surprise that it closed on April 19 when its current owner, Elizabeth Heddy, wished to retire. She had hoped to sell it to someone who would reopen the restaurant – and apparently that is what is going to happen. A partnership that includes Peter Zoumas Jr., the executive chef at The Manor Restaurant & Lounge in West Hanover Twp. – the old Pavone’s Restaurant transformed – intends to purchase the Lamp Post once it obtains a liquor license, for which it has applied. The prospective new owners intend to remodel it and turn it into a “middle class’’ family restaurant, said The prospective new owners upper Peter Zoumas Sr., one of three partners of the Lamp Post Inn intend hoping to purchase the property. to remodel it and turn it into They plan to invest $250,000 into he said, restoring the a "middle upper class'' family renovations, outside to its 1800s look. Its new name restaurant. will actually be its old name: The Black Horse Tavern, the name of the tavern that occupied the building back to the 1800s. Still, with all the renovations that are planned, “We are going to have a brand new building when we are done with it,’’ said Zoumas Sr. The Lamp Post Inn didn’t stay on the real-estate market very long. It would seem that Middletown’s rebirth – or is it a re-branding? – as a town that can be a venerable host to the growing population of students at neighboring Penn State Harrisburg, and its Victorian quaintness and history as the oldest borough in Dauphin County are beginning to show results. Though “we’re not going to have $40 steaks’’ at the new restaurant, according to Zoumas Sr., the opening of such an eatery certainly is proof that Middletown has something going for it in the eyes of entrepreneurs and developers. “I think the place has a lot of potential, if you run it right,’’ Zoumas Sr. told us in a story on A1. The same can be said of Middletown in more general terms.

Will the dollar be replaced as the world currency?
U
merica’s largest environmental group just admitted to earning millions of dollars each year from oil. The Nature Conservancy routinely guilt-trips Americans about using fossil fuels. Yet its Texas prairie preserve is home to an oil well. And it has almost $23 million invested in the energy industry. This revelation is an example of a real “inconvenient truth” sweeping through environmental outfits. Many of the green groups that attack fossil fuels secretly benefit from oil and gas. These activists aren’t as green as they pretend to be – or as they expect others to be. The Sierra Club, for example, demands that universities divest from fossil fuels. Yet according to an audit by the accounting firm Grant Thornton, the Sierra Club’s pension invests in index funds that include a number of oil and gas companies, including Exxon Mobil and Chevron. The National Resources Defense Council loudly opposes “dirty fuels.” Yet the group sees no reason to pull fossil fuel companies from its portfolio. Despite calling on the U.S. to stop using fossil fuels completely by 2050, the World Wildlife Fund has apparently not yet stopped earning money off of investments in oil and natural gas. When asked by The Nation whether the organization applies environmental screens to any of its $75 million in investments in publicly traded securities, the World Wildlife Fund refused to answer. Then there’s the Ocean Conservancy, which preaches against Arctic drilling and blames fossil fuels for ocean acidification. The Conservancy’s investment portfolio has stakes in “energy” and Many of the “utilities.” In other words, environmentalist the group green groups that privately attack fossil fuels profits from the activities secretly benefit it publicly from oil and gas. condemns. This hypocrisy would be amusing if the madness spewing from these groups wasn’t so damaging. Their rhetoric informs public perceptions and translates into concrete public policy, which undermines job creation and economic growth. The oil and natural gas industry is a major contributor to the U.S. economy, generating roughly $240 billion in economic activity every year. In North Dakota alone, state GDP grew by nearly 10 percent from 2012 to 2013, thanks largely to development of the Bakken Shale. The oil and gas industry is also a major job creator. The industry directly supports over 9 million jobs – and most of these positions pay handsomely. For instance, well workers typically earn close to $100,000 annually, even though the position typically doesn’t require a college degree. Left unencumbered, domestic energy operations are expected to get even bigger in coming years. By 2035, shale development alone could boost GDP by $70 billion a year and grow to support as many as 1.6 million jobs. The economic power of the energy industry is so great that even green activist groups want a piece. Despite their public criticisms of oil and gas development, they’re more than happy to share in its bounty in private. Their hypocrisy needs to cease. Environmentalists need to quit their baseless condemnations of American energy.

The Capitol REPORT
Veterans Breakfast is my “thank you’’ for your service I would like to remind veterans who reside in the 106th District to register for my annual Veterans Breakfast, which is scheduled to take place from 8 to 10 a.m. on Friday, Nov. 7 at the Spring Garden Reception and Conference Center in Lower Swatara Twp. All veterans residing in the 106th District are encouraged to attend. I hold this event every year to take time out to recognize and thank our servicemen and servicewomen. We wouldn’t enjoy the same freedoms and everyday luxuries that we have in this country if it weren’t for the selfless service of these brave individuals. Reservations for the 2014 Veterans Breakfast are required and can be made by contacting my district office in Hershey at 717-534-1323. Accommodations will be made for disabled veterans requiring the assistance of another person. Seating is limited and the deadline to register is Monday, Oct. 27. During the breakfast, I will also be collecting worn, torn and defaced flags for proper disposal. The Spring Garden Reception and Conference Center is located at 903 Spring Garden Drive. Directions
to the facility are available upon request.
Breast Cancer Awareness Month
Across the nation, the medical community, women, men and their families recognize October as National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer that affects women in the U.S. The American Cancer Society estimates approximately 232,670 new cases of invasive breast cancer are expected to be diagnosed among women in the U.S. this year, and more than 2.8 million breast cancer survivors are living in the U.S. This disease affects our wives, mothers, daughters, neighbors and friends. While I am pleased that our medical community continues to research breast cancer to find a cure, it is extremely important to stay dedicated to getting the word out about the importance of early diagnosis and prompt treatment. Breast cancer is a malignant tumor that grows in one or both of the
breasts and usually develops in the ducts or lobules, also known as the milk-producing areas of the breast. Following lung cancer, it is the second leading cause of cancerrelated deaths in women. Although less common, males can also be diagnosed with breast cancer; however, the disease is about 100 times more common in women. Every October, the water fountain behind the state Capitol is dyed pink in recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month and to honor those afflicted by this disease. If you are able to make a trip up to the state Capitol building, I encourage you to take the time to see this unique dedication. Information about breast cancer, including tests, treatments and educational materials, can be accessed by visiting www.cancer. org. John D. Payne is a Republican member of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives. He represents the 106th District, which includes most of Middletown, part of Swatara Twp. and all of Royalton, Lower Swatara Twp., Derry Twp. Conesagy Twp. and Hummelstown.

Obama’s skipped briefings a sign of dismal leadership T
wo years ago I wrote about a scandalous presidential reality. I’d say I’m shocked to report that the scandal continues, but I’m not. And that’s even more scandalous. In October 2012, I commented on the revelation that President Barack Obama had been absent from the vast majority of his daily intelligence briefings. According to a study by the Government Accountability Institute, Obama failed to attend a single Presidential Daily Brief (PDB) in the week leading up to the recent anniversary of 9/11 and despite the chaos that erupted in the Arab world, most notably in Libya. The mere fact that we were approaching a 9/11 anniversary was an essential enough reason to attend all the briefings. And yet Obama attended none. That’s right – not one. Worse, this was nothing new. Obama attended only 43.8 percent of his daily briefings in the first 1,225 days of his administration. For the year 2012, he attended a little over a third. There was no excuse for this. It’s unacceptable for a president, especially one criticized for spending so much time vacationing and campaigning. By comparison, President George W. Bush not only didn’t miss the PDB but actually expanded it to six meetings per week. Or consider President Ronald Reagan, who, ironically, liberals portrayed as a detached, lazy, unengaged, uninformed idiot. In my 2012 piece, I quoted two advisers who briefed Reagan. One of them was Bill Clark, Reagan’s right-hand man at the National Security Council. I was Clark’s biographer; he told me often how Reagan craved that regular morning update. Reagan ate up these briefings. He devoured the written report and then asked probing questions of his advisers during the live briefing that followed. Reagan used the briefings precisely as presidents should. That brings me back to Obama. When this was reported in October 2012, it was embarrassing to Obama and potentially damaging

politically, with the presidential election only a month away and Mitt Romney moving ahead in the polls. One would think that, by now, this would have been corrected by Obama, not only for political reasons but more important national-security concerns. This president has an ongoing public relations problem with illadvised statements about not having strategies and dashing for the golf course and fundraisers immediately after beheadings and aircraft downings. Alas, we now learn that this problem continues to fester: The Government Accountability Institute is back with a new report revealing that Obama has missed more than half of his briefings in his second term, obviously learning little – literally – since the first term. The man has skipped hundreds of daily briefings. My colleague Wynton Hall notes that these findings come on the heels of Obama’s “60 Minutes’’ comments where he seemed to blame the surge of ISIS and events in Syria on his intelligence chief, James Clapper. “I think our head of the intelligence community, Jim Clapper, has acknowledged that I think they underestimated what had been taking place in Syria,” Obama averred, coolly passing the buck. For the record, this was something that Reagan would never have done to his CIA director, Bill Casey, and neither would Bush.) The defense and intelligence community was not pleased with Obama’s statement. Hall quoted the liberal Daily Beast, which reported that Pentagon officials were “flabbergasted” by Obama’s passing the blame. “Either the president doesn’t read the intelligence he’s getting or he’s bulls---ing,” said one
angry official. Hall added: “Others in the intelligence community similarly blasted Obama and said he’s shown longstanding disinterest in receiving live, in-person PDBs that allow the Commander-in-Chief the chance for critical followup, feedback, questions and the challenging of flawed intelligence assumptions.” No question about that. The facts speak for themselves. And the president’s resultant lack of facts has evidently and obviously hurt our foreign policy. But here’s a troubling question: Do Obama’s supporters even care? They’ll make ludicrous excuses they would never make for a Republican president. “No big deal,” they’ll shrug, “He’s fine.” Indeed, in 2011, two of Obama’s top spokesmen, Jay Carney and Tommy Vietor, did just that, insisting that “the president gets the information he needs.” Sorry, but there’s no substitute for the give-and-take that comes with daily briefings by advisers and experts. Obama doesn’t have ESP-like, Solomon-esque powers; he cannot place briefing papers aside his extraordinary brain and divine all contents and any questions that might have been hashed out during briefings. Meanwhile, the world burns. Yes, the world is on fire. And as it is, we’re stuck with this dismal White House leadership for another two years. I’m not asking for a perfect president, but I’d at least like a president who attends his security briefings.

• “Congratulations to a Middle-
town graduate: Justin Anderson came in seventh in a military combine event. This is a grueling race which starts out with weights and exercises. It then goes into a long race with many physical obstacles.”
• “For 30 years, I have paid for
water/sewerage I didn’t use because of the minimum amount cost. Now I pay for what I use. My bill last month was $23 cheaper! Thank you, Borough Council.”
• “Not another year of the same
booster issues. Time for a mutiny.”
• “You thought the electric util-
ity was bad in ripping us off with illegal inflated bills? It is nothing like our water and sewage utility bills. Middletown Borough residents have been overpaying this bill for years in addition to two service charges added in. Now with the new rate it is sky high. With the sale of the water and sewage utility we will be paying a 2.5 percent increase annually for several years and 2 percent after that. Thanks to our council for selling us out again. The deficit in this utility is from people not paying their bill for months, possibly years – and no one tried to collect it. This is why there was a recent increase in our water and sewage bill. I have been told by a source in this utility that the ones who can pay their bills will be paying for those that will not. And this has always been the utility’s policy. I think there should be a state audit of our electric and water and sewage utilities. Clearly there have been illegal billings and the Middletown residents have been paying for it.”
Dear Editor ...

section to cheer a few times and students repeatedly threw rocks at them. Would you want your child to be made fun of or have stuff thrown at them while they are there supporting and cheering on their school football team? I would hope not. That is why the cheerleaders don’t go down there for long periods of time. I hope I saved you from having to write back in to the Sound Off again next year, because there are no more blind eyes and deaf ears.”

spoke about the cheerleaders not cheering in front of the students and the band: At last week’s game, the cheerleaders went to the student

The Daddy-Daughter Dance
B
etween work and school, it’s difficult for fathers and their daughters, grandfathers and their granddaughters to spend time together. The Daddy-Daughter Dance in Londonderry Twp. gives them a chance to do that – an evening of dancing, games and snacks. Ninety young ladies, many wearing their dancing dresses, and their fathers and grandfathers attended the dance on Friday, Oct. 10 at the Sunset Golf Course Clubhouse. Kids and their fathers and grandfathers giggled and laughed through line dances and the limbo, and through songs requested by the girls and played by disc jockey Dave Blouch. The Princess of the dance, drawn at random, was Trinity Fox, and the King of the dance was her father, Brian Stone. See who was there!
