The Swatara Creek Powwow, a Middletown celebration of Native American culture and spirituality cancelled last year because of an organizational snafu with the borough and the illness of its master of ceremonies, returns to the Historic Ferry House grounds on Saturday, May 4 and Sunday, May 5.Organizer Paul Bear, owner of the Turquoise Bear Trading Post on South

Union Street, said he revived the powwow because customers at his shop, where he sells Native American goods, urged him to bring it back.Though past powwows drew crowds of local residents, “I didn’t think

it was on their radar,’’ said Bear.“The community made it quite clear to me in my store that they missed

it,’’ he said.Bear has enlisted help in organizing the event – Deborah Bigelow, of

Native American descent, who moved to Middletown in recent years , and a new master of ceremonies who knows how to run a powwow, a

Middletown is suing its former solicitor over actions related to the borough’s Electric Stabiliza-tion Trust Fund, a multimillion-dollar settlement paid by Met-Ed in 1999 to settle a legal dispute over electric rates the borough was paying to the utility.The borough filed a writ of summons in Dauphin

County Court on April 4 against former solicitor SkarlatosZonarich and attorneys John Zonarich and Anna Marie Sossong.The writ alleges legal liability for past actions

and seeks unspecified monetary compensation. It was filed by the law firm Eckert Seamans, appointed by Middletown Borough Council in 2012 to investigate alleged misuse of trust funds and recommend legal action it believes is warranted.Council authorized a lawsuit in February against

unnamed former borough officials regarding the way the trust fund was managed. Current borough officials have been quiet about their plans for the

It had been weeks since missing Upper Allen Twp. resident David Hoke’s cloth-ing was found in the Susquehanna River at Middletown. His mother, Linda Hoke, hadn’t gotten any new information from the police, so she decided to do a little detective work on her own – visiting his trailer, interviewing neighbors, anything that might help her find her son.She didn’t get the lead she was

looking for.What she did find was that some-

one had ransacked her son’s trailer and taken his possessions.“I didn’t even get any of his

personal belongings,” she said. “We’re at a dead end. Nothing’s come up.”It’s been nine weeks since Hoke

disappeared. His was car discov-ered abandoned, unlocked and running at the Middletown boat dock on Feb. 24, and his clothes were found in the river two days later.“It’s harder the longer it goes, because the first

week you think he’s going to come home,” Linda Hoke said.

Even now, she has more questions than answers – whether David Hoke is dead or alive, whether he was kidnapped, killed or disappeared on his own. She even wonders whether or not police are still actively investigating the incident.

“You just don’t know what really happened,’’ she said.The case is still an open police

investigation, confirmed Chris Courogen, Middletown borough secretary and director of commu-nications.Some of the circumstances sur-

rounding her son’s disappearance lead her to think he didn’t vanish voluntarily. For instance, he has not called her to let her know he’s OK.“I can’t see why he wouldn’t con-

tact me,” she said. “We keep waiting for phone calls. You would think he would have called me by now.”Absent that phone call, there’s

nothing Linda Hoke can do except worry, drive around looking for her son, and put up missing person posters.

Every day that passes is another day the family is left in suspense.“Every time they find a body in the river, we

hold our breath,” she said.

Long-time Middletown Mayor Robert Reid has garnered respect in town through the years, leading the borough through crises ranging from Three Mile Island in 1979 to Tropical Storm Lee in 2011.Now, Reid is angry that a local politi-

cal action committee is using his name to garner votes for candidates he does not support.The website for Middletown Citizens

for Responsible Government – a politi-cal action committee that has stated its support of current Borough Council policies – uses a Reid quote saying that higher taxes and electric rates are not preferable policy as evidence that Reid supports council.But Reid said the group took his quote

“out of context.”“To me, if people read what they are

putting out … it would make someone believe or think that I support their program, which I don’t,’’ he said. “I don’t support any of the incumbents for reelection.”Sixteen candidates – four incumbents

and 12 challengers – are running for five seats on council. Reid did not endorse particular candidates for council, but made clear that he wants some fresh faces.“I’d like to see a new slate of candi-

dates in office,” he said. Reid emphasized that his opposi-

tion to the reelection of incumbents stemmed from policy differences, not personal ones.“I respect them as individuals, but

I differ with their ideas in politics,” he said.Reid announced his support for

mayoral candidate Robert Givler, a Republican and one of four candidates seeking to replace Reid upon his retire-ment at the end of 2013.“I think Bob would be an excellent

mayor,” Reid said.

Givler, who has been complementary of Reid in the past, said he’s grateful to receive Reid’s “blessing.”“The mayor is very respected,” Givler

said. “He’s been there for so long, and giving me his endorsement means ‘OK, [Givler’s] capable of taking over for me,’ so that means a great deal to me.”Mayoral candidate Mike Bowman, a

Republican, has quarreled with Reid in the past, so he is not surprised that Reid would back Givler.“Bob and I have gone head-to-head

for years,’’ said Bowman. “He’s never had a plan, the whole time he was in [office]. I wouldn’t expect any dif-ferent.”James Curry, the lone Democratic

candidate for mayor, also was not surprised at Reid’s endorsement of Givler, especially given their “preex-isting relationship.” Givler served as a police sergeant during part of Reid’s tenure as mayor.“I certainly respect him supporting

Mr. Givler. Everybody’s entitled to their own opinion,” Curry said. “But I’m hoping that the people will look at it objectively and pick the candidate who’s best suited for the job.” Mayoral candidate David Rhen, a

council member and Republican, could not be reached for comment.

Highspire Borough Council has voted to spend $55,742 replace the borough’s bucket truck.The current truck will not pass inspec-

tion without replacing the lift arm and bucket, and “that’s just to get it to the next inspection,” said John McHale, borough manager.Highspire purchased the used truck

from Steelton three years ago for

$1,500, according to McHale.McHale recommended purchasing a

new truck over renting on an as-need basis, since “we’ve (Highspire) come to rely on it for a lot.”Council members were concerned

about the cost, which is an unbudgeted expense, but saw advantages to the borough to own a truck.“When we have our own equipment,

we can do it on our own time when it suits us,” said Council President A. Kay Sutch.

Instead of paying one lump sum, the borough will lease the truck over five years. At the end of the lease, the borough will own the vehicle.To pay for the vehicle, council will

use money from the general fund and money budgeted for replacing the borough’s tractor. Instead, the tractor will be purchased next year, McHale said.

Middletown students shadow borough officials in revival of social studies program


For many years, Middletown Mayor Robert Reid – also a Middletown Area School District social studies teacher – had organized an annual local government day for interested students. The program ended after Reid retired from the district, but it wasn’t forgotten – and on Monday, April 15, borough and school officials brought it back to life.After an afternoon of shadowing and

learning from Middletown officials, nine students got down to business during a mock council meeting on Monday night, taking roles ranging from Borough Council president to borough secretary and solicitor.Senior Katlyn Flasher, who served as

council president, advocated for her proposal of a $1 million community center complete with a library, chapel, restaurants, movie theater, sports complex and Laundromat. But fellow mock council members Emily Burke and Andrew Hardison asked the hard questions about its location, funding sources, whether it would require a tax increase, and whether such a government-owned center would be “communist.”The motion initially failed, 4-2 –

much to the chagrin of Reid and student mayor Megan Martz.“We wanted it to pass. [Martz] was

going to veto it,” Reid said, drawing laughter from the audience.Reid got his wish: Council changed its

mind and passed the measure 4-2, but did not have enough votes to override Martz’s veto.The students had developed the

concept of the center as a way to help create a sense of community in Middle-town, Flasher said – and borough of-ficials indicated they would consider pursuing some of the students’ more realistic ideas.For Flasher, a Middletown resident

who serves as student council presi-

dent and wants to be borough council president someday, it was a valuable experience.“I learned a lot of stuff I didn’t know

before,” she said. “I just liked meeting all the people.”Hope Dehnert, who assumed the role

of borough secretary and director of communications, said she participated because “I wanted to know more about local government.”Another student who benefited from

the experience was Andrew Korb, who shadowed Police Chief Steven Wheeler in the afternoon.“He’s a really cool guy,” Korb said.

“It was nice to understand what the police do.”Students Will Botterbusch, John Pon-

nett and Jordan Smith also participated in the day’s activities.Council’s real president, Christopher

McNamara, was glad to see the event succeed.“You’ve got to get the kids involved.

If you don’t get the kids involved, you’re not going to have anything,” McNamara said. “Hopefully, this will be the start to keep this going.”He also gave credit to teacher

Jodi Sessa and Superintendent Lori Suski for their help in organizing the event.Sessa, who has helped organize local

government days between the district and Lower Swatara Twp. in the past, said she was impressed with the op-portunities the borough provided for the students.“I thought it was great. The students

loved it,’’ she said. “They texted me and called me on the phone after-wards to tell me how energized they were.”

Edition Of The Press And Journal

It All Begins To Add UpMath Tutoring Program

Between Penn State Hbg. And Middletown

Area High School For some people math has

never been an easy subject but students at Middletown Area High School are find-ing it a little easier thanks to a cooperative experimen-tal tutoring program with Penn State Harrisburg’s mathematical science de-partment. Under the innovative en-

deavor, students in the sec-ondary education option of the mathematical sciences program at Penn State Har-risburg tutor and observe the teaching environment at Middletown High School. The Penn State students provide tutoring services to the high school students as part of their required field observation experi-ence prior to embarking on student-teaching assign-ments. “The program benefits

both the students and the tutors,” reports Jefferson Hartzler, chair of the math-ematical sciences program at Penn State Harrisburg. “The students receive one-

on-one instruction and the tutors gain knowledge of how to identify and work through student learning problems.” Connie Shatto, an educa-

tion major, participated last semester. “It’s a great experience that I would rec-ommend for anyone in the education field,” she said. “Because it’s a one-on-one situation I really developed an understanding of how to relate to the students.” Casper Voithofer, prin-

cipal at Middletown Area High School, and Leroy Parthemore, chairman of the mathematics depart-ment at the school, and Hartzler developed this shared program for the mu-tually beneficial outcome for the high school and college students.

Remodeling Of Old School May Have Run

Into Snags Highspire Council ex-

pressed concern at its recent meeting that time may run out on the proposed June 1 starting date for renovat-ing the former Highspire Elementary School into a modern apartment com-plex. Prior to its meeting, Coun-

cil dispatched a letter to the School Board to try to find out “whose foot is drag-ging.” The letter stated that the sale of the building to the developer, Re al Estate Resources, Inc., has “not yet been consummated” and urged the School Board to take immediate action to conclude a sales agree-ment. The letter also sated that

Highspire Borough has al-ready granted the developer a 10-year tax abatement and a parking variance for the project and has also secured a $205,000 grant from the state Department of Com-munity Affairs (DCA) to apply toward the renova-tion project. But Council pointedly

noted at its meeting that no building permit has been issued to date for the project, no approval has been obtained from Dau-phin County Court and no sewer module plan has been submitted to the state De-partment of Environmental Protection (a three-month process). The letter apparently

prompted the Steelton-Hishspire School Board to take some action at its meeting two days later after the developer requested that the Board act to apply for court approval of the sale of the old school at a price of $50,000. The old school building,

vacant since 1983, has be-come an eyesore and some residents, waiting for its proposed remodeling, have begun asking members of Council what is holding up the project.

Hearings Before PUC End On Rheems Water

Petition Representatives of the

Rheems Water Company and the Mt. Joy Township Authority presented their cases before a state Public Utility Commission judge last week, but a spokes-man for the PUC said on Tuesday that a decision in the matter probably won’t be forthcoming for another two to five months. According to George Ka-

busk, a PUC press officer, Judge Richard M. Loven-wirth, who conducted the hearings at Scranton and Harrisburg, has indicted that attorneys for National Utilities, which owns the Rheems Water Company, and the township Author-ity must still submit briefs to the court. As a result, Lovenwirth says it will probably be two to five months before he hands down a ruling on the mat-ter. At issue is the Rheems

Water Company’s request to the PUC for permission to expand its service area into a narrow strip of ter-ritory along the western edge of the township near Rheems. The Authority is opposing the water com-pany request, arguing that its original charter only permitted it to serve cus-tomers in West Donegal Township. In the two-day hearings

last Tuesday and Wednes-day, Attorney Robert P. Haynes, representing the Authority, charged that the Rheems Water Company is already in violation of that charter because it is serving some 50 to 60 customers inside Mt. Joy Township. Backed by Authority En-

gineers Scott Hughes and Jim Fuller, Haynes claimed that the PUC had never assigned the territory in which those customers live to the Rheems Company’s service area and that the Company never received certification to serve those borderline customers. In addition, five Rheems area residents, all but one of

who is a water company customer testified on behalf of the Authority.

The Inside Scoop On Presidents

Elizabethtown College seniors were given a sneak preview of their commence-ment speaker when she vis-ited the campus to chat with seniors about their ideas, their post-graduate plans and their hopes. “She wanted to get to

know her audience before she talks to them at gradu-ation,” said Bruce Holran, public information direc-tor. Helen Thomas, UPI White

House Correspondent and bureau chief since 1974, will speak at the 87th an-nual commencement cer-emony at Elizabethtown College on May 19. Thomas will also receive

an Honorary Doctor of Laws degree from the col-lege. Since 1943, Thomas has

been a reporter in Wash-ington, D.C. She has writ-ten news reports about 10 presidents, from Franklin Delano Roosevelt to Presi-dent George Bush. You might recall seeing

Thomas during a televised presidential press confer-ence. It’s been a tradition that the wire services get to ask the first two questions. Thomas is and has been

a vital link in getting news to the community from the White House. What Thom-as covers today, as she says, “will be in the history books tomorrow.” The students welcomed

her to the college with open arms. To some of the students who attended the meeting with Thomas, they found this female pioneer of journalism witty, charm-ing and just delightful to listen to. They listened to her anecdotes with huge eyes and great interest. Some, inspired by her

experiences and status in journalism were visibly shaking when asking ques-tions. She quickly put those

at ease answering ques-tions and telling ales some wished would never stop. “I wish she would write

a book,” said Cathy Con-nolley, the senior class vice president, majoring in communications. “She’s so genuine. What you see is what you get. She’s a re-ally neat lady. She is very concerned with the younger generation.”

lawsuit – including the identity of the parties that will be named – but have said millions of dollars have been lost due to mismanagement of the trust.Zonarich would not comment on the

writ – his law firm has “not seen a com-plaint and therefore cannot comment on any claims,’’ he said. But Zonarich did say his firm provided satisfactory service to the borough while serving

as its solicitor. “We are comfortable that our services

to Middletown Borough over the years have been of the highest quality and we believe that nothing we have done or failed to do has harmed the borough in any way,’’ said Zonarich. “While anyone has the right to file a lawsuit, we intend to defend this claim vigorously.”Chris Courogen, borough secretary

and director of communications,

would not comment on the writ, say-ing it was an ongoing legal matter. A spokesman for Eckert Seamans could not be reached for comment.The $18 million trust fund was cre-

ated in 1999 to settle a lawsuit the utility filed against the borough to end a nearly 100-year contract that required Met-Ed to provide the bor-ough with electricity at bargain rates. Each council president since then has served as the lone trustee of the money,

sparking speculation about who will be named as a party to any lawsuit regarding the fund. In Pennsylvania, a complaint or a

praecipe for writ of summons can be filed to initiate a civil proceeding against someone. Like a complaint, it is served on the defendant to notify him that a suit has been filed against him in court.Daniel Walmer: 717-944-4628, or

May 21 primary.While the night was light on debate

and disagreement, the candidates used the opportunity to explain their qualifi-cations and plans for Middletown.Clark, a Republican, emphasized

her involvement with Middletown’s Neighborhood Watch program, and said she would like to revive a move-ment to bring a skateboard park to Middletown.“It would keep kids out of trouble,”

she said. “Maybe not all of them, but some of them.”Cleland’s goal is to be open and

transparent and to bring new busi-nesses to town, using Elizabethtown as a model, she said.“E-town is flourishing, and I would

really love to see Middletown get to where E-town is now,” said Cleland, a Republican. “They have a lot of com-munity involvement with their college down there, a lot of businesses, and their community is growing.”Givler emphasized his background as

a longtime, recently-retired Middle-town police officer. He would use his role as mayor to reestablish com-munication between the police and the public, which he said has been lacking since the closing of the borough com-munications center in 2012.“One of the things I would like to

restore is … that the people of Middle-

town have some type of service like that, back into the borough, where you can walk in off the street,” he said. “You don’t have to use a phone to call the police. You can walk in off the street and speak to someone.”Curry said he would help revitalize

the town through embracing Penn State Harrisburg and improving historic properties to attract people to Dauphin County’s oldest com-munity.He said that Middletown has an im-

age problem, but believes that image can change.“Unfortunately, in speaking with

some people, [Middletown has] be-come the brunt of many jokes,” he said. “I wish to remind everyone that the brunt of those jokes is not our final destination ... Not only, with enough effort, can we get back to where Middletown once was, we can make it better.”Cleland had similar thoughts.“Middletown has got a bad rap right

now. You hate to even say that you live in Middletown,” she said. “I’d like to get back to where people are proud to say they live in Middletown.”

The fight for transparencyThe event was staged by Middletown

Residents United, an organization whose members have been critical of council incumbents. A common

CHOOSE MEContinued From Page One theme among the speakers – none

were incumbents, and Third Ward incumbent Judy Putric is not running for re-election – was criticism of borough officials’ transparency and responsiveness to citizens.“I know I’ve been to council meetings

and seen people ask questions that never get answered,’’ said Cleland. “I, myself, have called the borough and left messages with no return phone calls. I think that’s very frustrating.”Clark criticized council for not

keeping people informed about its deliberations.“I just feel that we put those people

in that position, so they should get back to us with what they’ve talked about, even if they don’t think it’s our business,” she said.Both mayoral candidates also pledged

to improve communication with the public.

A dispute over $290,000A hot-button issue among the mayoral

candidates was council’s decision to spend $290,000 to transfer the bor-ough police department to the Behney Building at the corner of Race and Emaus streets, which was previously being used by the borough’s electric

department.Givler criticized council members

who claim the borough is in financial trouble for voting for the expense.“I don’t know where we’re coming

up with $290,000 for this thing,” he said. “Working in police, I know that you can’t take a police department and move it from one building to an-other building as easy as you can do something else,” such as upgrading the police force’s former headquarters in borough hall.However, mayoral candidate Mike

Bowman, a Republican, noted that the funds used for the new police station are restricted for capital projects, while the alleged financial problems involve the borough’s general fund.“We’re only allowed to spend certain

monies for certain things,” Bowman said. Curry criticized council for not post-

poning its vote to spend the $290,000 after two council members said they wanted to wait until they received further documentation of the plans for the project.

“It did what it was designed to do.”Vernal Simms, a local pastor and

leader of Middletown Residents United, was satisfied by the event.“I think it did what it was designed

to do,” Simms said.The event was the first in a three-

part series organized by Middletown Residents United: A Second Ward candidates’ night was held on Tues-day, April 30, while a First Ward candidates’ night is scheduled for Tuesday, May 7.Although members of Middletown

Residents United have been critical of incumbent council candidates, Simms thinks the organization can serve as a neutral arbiter of the race since all residents and incumbent council members have been invited to join the group since its founding.All candidates were invited to speak

at the series of candidates’ nights, he said.However, third ward candidate Vic-

toria Malone said she never received an invitation.“I wasn’t invited to the meeting,

and I didn’t know a thing about it,” Malone said.She sees herself as an independent

voice “not running on anybody else’s agenda.”She is unopposed in the Democratic

primary, so her campaign will become more visible closer to the general elec-tion in November, she said.The fourth Third Ward candidate –

Republican Kenneth Clugston – could not be reached for comment. He did not attend the event.Bowman said he was not invited, and

only learned of the event through the Press And Journal.Diana McGlone, a former councilor

and member of Middletown Residents United, said Bowman was invited via a mailed letter.Organizers came under fire from

several residents during the meeting for not allowing Bowman, who was in attendance, to introduce himself, but Simms said Bowman will be given the opportunity to speak at future meetings.Mayoral candidate David Rhen was

not in attendance and could not be reached for comment.Also at the event, Ken Whitebread,

chief of the Middletown Volunteer Fire Department, spoke about pro-moting upcoming fundraisers for the department.Representatives for Bill Tully, a can-

didate for judge in Dauphin County, attended, and voter registration forms were available.

awaiting a hearing before Lindsey.On April 2, at about 4:45 p.m., Kel-

ley called a fellow constable, Richard Shotzberger of Harrisburg, and told him that he was going to kill himself, according to a probable cause affidavit filed in court by Middletown police.Shotzberger contacted Middletown

police after he “heard what sounded like a firearm being discharged,” the affidavit said. Kelley told Shotzberger that he could see the outside of his garage through the hole, the affidavit said.

A detective with the District Attor-ney’s Criminal Investigation Division discovered a hole in the wall of Kel-ley’s office, located above his garage, about 25 feet above ground level, the affidavit said.A .357 Smith and Wesson revolver

loaded with five rounds and one expended shell casing was found in Kelley’s desk in his office, court records show.Kelley’s spouse told the detective

that Kelley was alone during the incident.

Weather and age have taken a toll on the Wilson House, located on Second Street in Highspire.Last year, damaged exterior flash-

ing resulted in water leaking near the chimney. Part of the ceiling collapsed, and some of the walls suffered damage.

The white building with dark green shutters is home to the borough’s Historical Society –where photos, newspaper clippings, and all things to remember Highspire are kept. Fortunately, the artifacts were not damaged, but with the Bicenten-nial Celebration set for 2014, the historical society wants the home to look its best.For Debbie Whittle, president of

the historical society, the home is a special place. Whittle grew up in the house, and after flooding from Hurricane Agnes in 1972, her family repaired the home. Eventually it was sold, and when the historical society was formed, it became home to the artifacts, said Whittle.“It’s a hub of Highspire,” she said.

“We have open houses, arbor days and dedications there.”Whittle hopes the repairs to the

ceiling and walls are completed sometime this year. To fix other issues with the Wilson House, the historical society plans to apply for a $10,000 municipal grant from Dauphin County.The historical society will also be

holding a “work day” at the house at 9 a.m. on Saturday, May 11. Volun-teers will be pulling weeds, raking leaves and performing other spring cleanup.To make a donation to the Highspire

sponsor the event for the first time, said Bear.The powwow, which will be Middle-

town’s seventh, will feature food and vendors of Native American goods, music and dancing. “It’s like a Native

American church -ype thing,’’ is how Bear describes it.Gates open at 10 a.m. on Saturday

all proceeds going to the Middle-town Area Historical Society, which owns the land where the event will be held.Royalton Borough will provide

camping at its Kiwanis Park for Na-tive Americans who are participating

in the event, Bear said.The powwow presents a true pic-

ture of Native Americans and their spirituality that challenges stereotypes created by movies and TV, said Bear. One of his fondest memories was made by a boy who attended one of the powwows with his grandfather. “Grandpa,’’ the boy exclaimed as they observed the event,’’ they’re no different than us.’’“It started out as a cultural event, to

take away the myths that Hollywood

has created,’’ said Bear.Bear refused to discuss the reasons

why the powwow was cancelled last year – “It’s really irrelevant,’’ he said – but said vendors and participants “are eager to come back.’’“I hope that more things happen in

STRIKKKKKK KKKKKKKKKKK KKKKKK KEOUT!

By Tom KlemickFor The Press And Journal

For the first time in three years, the men’s tennis team at Penn State Har-risburg won’t end its season with a con-ference championship celebration.The two-time defending North

Eastern Athletic Conference (NEAC) champions were upset in the NEAC tournament’s semifinal round by Penn State Abington on Thursday, April 25.The Blue and White fell to the oppos-

ing Lions 5-4 at the Birchwood Tennis and Fitness Club in Clarks Summit.Abington eventually fell to confer-

ence champion Rutgers-Camden in the championship match later the same day.Penn State Harrisburg’s top-ranked

doubles team consisting of reigning NEAC Player of the Year Josh Cartmill and junior Tyler Miller got the Lions off on the right foot with a 9-7 victory

over Abington’s No. 1 pair of Steven Ly and Monte Dunson.However, Penn State Harrisburg

trailed 2-1 after doubles play when the teams of Vincent Lepore III and Zachry Warriner and Ben Leibig and Alex Koltun fell to Abington’s No. 2 and No. 3 pairs by 8-3 and 9-7 margins.The middle of the Lions lineup was

solid in singles play, but ultimately the team’s 3-3 split with Penn State Abington proved to be the difference in the end.Cartmill fell to Jordan Damsky in

the No. 1 slot while senior Evgeny Matigullin was defeated by Abing-ton’s Nigel Hopkinson 6-2, 7-5 in the clash of the second-ranked singles players.Miller bested Ly 7-6 (7-4), 6-1 in the

No. 3 spot while Leibig and Lepore each won rather easily in the No. 4 and 5 slots. Koltun fell to Abington’s Matt Wolff 7-6 (7-1), 6-2 in the battle

of the No. 6 players.“It was a tough match that came

down to every player on the team,” said Becky Cecere, Penn State Har-risburg’s coach. “Abington played really well. We did also, but just not good enough to win.”Penn State Harrisburg ended its

2012-13 campaign with an 11-4 overall record and a 4-1 record in conference play.Despite the disappointing defeat, the

Lions still have something to play for as members of the Blue and White can still compete in the NEAC’s individual championship tournament later this month.

COLLEGE TENNIS

Lions’ championship reign ends in tourney loss

By Larry EtterPress And Journal Staff

Sophomore right-hander Nathan Ocker set a school record with an amazing 24 strikeout performance in nine innings of Middletown’s 12-inning, 5-2 loss to Palmyra on Thursday, April 25 in Middletown.Ocker kept a consistently sharp fastball down in

the strike zone that completely dominated Palmyra’s hitters throughout the Keystone Division scrap. He issued zero walks and yielded just two hits, a pair of singles, before leaving the mound after reaching his allowed number of innings after nine. The only negative to the performance was that

Ocker left the game with the score tied at 1-1 and the Cougars eventually scored 3 runs in the top of the 12th inning to earn the victory. Those deciding runs came against reliever Nick Drawbaugh, who had pitched well in his three innings of work. The Blue Raiders had numerous chances to pull out a much-needed victory for Ocker or Drawbaugh but simply could not come up with a key hit to produce a win. In the season’s first half, the Raiders and Cougars

had combined for 21 runs in an exciting 11-10 vic-tory for the Middletown squad. This second meeting was nothing like that one.Palmyra scored a run in the top of the first inning

and Middletown matched that with a run in the bottom of the second. The 1-1 deadlock remained unchanged until Palmyra broke the tie in the bottom of the 11th inning.Facing the one-run deficit in the home half of the

11th, the Raiders produced another tying run to send the game into the 12th. Palmyra then came up with a 3-run rally in the top of the 12th to steal the win. Ocker actually had four strikeouts in the first in-

ning, but a ball in the dirt on the third whiff allowed Trey Baker to reach first. Baker stole second and scored on a single by teammate Mitchell Sauley to give the Cougars the early 1-0 lead.Two more strikeouts by Ocker in the top of the

second kept the score unchanged.In the bottom of the second, Ocker and Jordan

Flowers drew one-out walks and Dylan Bower was

hit by a pitch with two outs to load the bases. A wild pitch by Bobby Dorta with Eddie Finsterbush at the plate al-lowed Ocker to score the tying run.With eight strikeouts already in the

book, Ocker added eight more over the next four innings to run his total to 16. But the Raiders also came up empty during the span and the score remained deadlocked at 1-1.In the bottom of the sixth, Middle-

town’s Brett Altland walked and Cody Fox singled, but both runners were stranded. Bower was also left on base in the home half of the seventh inning after reaching first on an infield single with two outs.Ocker’s 19th, 20th and 21st strikeouts

came in the top of the eighth as he struck out the side.Kyle Finsterbush led off the bottom

of the eighth inning with a single, but he, too, was left stranded.Ocker finished up his historic perfor-

mance with three more strikeouts in the top of the ninth, and the Raiders went down in order in the bottom of the frame.Drawbaugh took over on the mound

for the Middletown defense in the top of the 10th and got two quick outs before Palmyra’s Griffin Mitchell reached base on a bunt single. But the Cougar runner was thrown out on catcher Fox’s peg to Kyle Finsterbush at second.Kyle Finsterbush was safe on an error

with two outs in the bottom of the 10th but also was left stranded.The Cougars broke the tie in the top of

the 11th on an RBI single by Baker.Needing to break their scoreless

drought to keep the game going, the Raiders came up with a tying run in the bottom of the frame. Fox led off with an infield single, stole second and went to third on a balk by Palmyra pitcher Baker, who had taken over for Dorta in the seventh inning. Ocker’s sacrifice fly to right field produced the run.A great opportunity to pull out the win

came when Flowers and Zach Sims drew back-to-back walks with two outs. But Bower’s lineout to second ended the threat.The Palmyra offense finally broke

out in the top of the 12th. A leadoff single, a walk, a sacrifice bunt and a fielder’s choice ground ball pushed in one run and a two-out triple by Baker drove in two more.Sauley took over on the mound for

the Cougars in the bottom of the frame and struck out two Middletown batters before Altland drew a base on balls. But a groundout finished off the win

for the Cougars and spoiled an other-wise outstanding day for Ocker and his Middletown teammates.

Susquehanna Twp. 2Middletown 1Tough luck had also hit Sims, Middle-

town’s other ace pitcher, when the Raiders came up on the short end of a 2-1 final score at Susquehanna Twp. on Tuesday, April 23.Sims, a classmate of Ocker, registered

nine strikeouts in an impressive outing but was stung by a one-out homerun by the Indians’ Laron Mitchell in the bottom of the seventh inning that made the difference.And, again, the Raiders had their

chances, but could not produce the clutch hits needed to push runs across the plate. The Indians scored their first run in

the bottom of the second inning fol-lowing a leadoff single and a pair of Middletown errors.The 1-0 score stayed firmly in place

as Sims and Susquehanna’s Anthony Atticks staged a solid pitching duel.In the top of the sixth inning, Bower

was safe on an error to lead off the frame for Middletown, stole second and then went to third on a sacrifice bunt by Altland. Fox’s fielder’s choice grounder knocked in Bower to tie the score at 1-1.The Indians threatened to break the tie

in the bottom of the sixth, but Fox and Kyle Finsterbush hooked up to erase Atticks on an attempted steal. In the top of the seventh, Drawbaugh

singled with one out and courtesy runner Zach Buell stole second to put a Middletown runner in scoring position. But Atticks got Sims on a pop up and fanned Eddie Finsterbush to end the threat.Sims struck out Susquehanna’s

leadoff hitter, Joe Runyan, to start the bottom of the seventh but Mitchell swung on a fastball over the plate that he drove over the left field fence for the game-winning homer.

Middletown 11Milton Hershey 0Following those two intense games,

the Raiders needed a breather – and got just what they wanted at Milton Hershey on Friday, April 26.Getting off to a good start, and with

the cross-over game never really in doubt, the Middletown nine dusted the host Spartans in five innings for their seventh win of the year.Flowers, also a sophomore, picked up

the pitching win with eight strikeouts while giving up three walks and just one hit, an infield single in the fourth inning.

The Middletown offense recorded six hits, including a two-run triple by Flowers, in the victory. The hits and runs came early. Ryan Popp and Flowers punched out

back-to-back singles with one out in the top of the first inning and Draw-baugh was hit by a pitch to load the bases against Milton Hershey starter Jimmy McDonnell. A passed ball with Ocker at the plate pushed in the first run and a wild pitch with Ethan Kell batting allowed Flowers to dart home for run No. 2.In the top of the second, Sims led

off with a single, stole second on a groundout and raced all the way home on a Spartan throwing error to give the Raiders a 3-0 lead.After Flowers struck out the side

in the home half of the second, the Middletown nine collected two more runs in the top of the third. After again getting hit by a pitch to reach base with one out, Drawbaugh went to second on a wild pitch and made it to third on Ocker’s bunt single. Kell’s sac fly knocked in Drawbaugh.Ocker, who had stolen second and

moved to third on a passed ball, scored when Sims was safe on an error. Those runs gave the Raiders a 5-0 advantage.Flowers walked Milton Hershey’s

Dionte Satterfield to lead off the home half of the third, but the runner was picked off at first on a throw from Kell to Drawbaugh. Two straight strikeouts by Flowers ended the inning. Bower was safe on an error to lead off

a fourth inning that produced four more Middletown runs. Altland and Fox drew back-to-back walks to load the bases before Popp’s fielder’s choice grounder pushed in the first run. With Altland at third and Fox on second, Flowers drove a 2-2 pitch over the left fielder’s head for a two-run triple to make it an 8-0 game.Run No. 9 came when Drawbaugh

game with two outs in the bottom of the fourth but induced a pop-up to end the Spartans’ chance to break their scoreless drought.After Kell opened up the top of the

How do you top a two-win, 11 strikeout, no-earned-run perfor-mance inside the circle? Why, you hit three home runs, including a grand slam, of course.Still not impressed? How about

doing both on the same day?Penn State Harrisburg’s Gabrielle

Wolfe had quite the afternoon against Valley Forge Christian on Wednesday, April 24, excelling both at the plate and on the rubber in the Lions’ 11-0 and 5-4 victories in Middletown.It was apparent that something

special was brewing when the sophomore captain led off the first game of the doubleheader with a home run. It was the first of her 11 RBIs for the day.Freshman Rachel Fisher followed

up Wolfe’s solo shot by doubling. The next batter, sophomore Erika Love, plated her with a double of her own. Senior Danielle Ringel picked up an RBI thanks to her single that scored Love.Freshman Jennifer Bear drove

in Ringel with a single and Wolfe reached base for the second time in the inning on an error. Two runners in senior Katherine Bernardi and Bear scored on the play.Fisher’s second at bat of the stanza

produced another run when she singled, scoring junior Brittany Wesoloskie and giving the Blue and White a 7-0 lead.Wolfe mowed down Patriot batters

and retired 12 straight before help-ing her own cause in the top of the fifth inning. Bernardi reached base on an error and freshman Jasmine Yanich moved her along with a single. Wesoloskie walked and the stage was set for Wolfe.

She was grand.Wolfe homered for the second

time in three at bats, clearing the bases and giving the Lions an 11-0 advantage.She also had a perfect game working

through 4.1 innings and finished by hurling five innings and surrender-ing just two hits while striking out seven batters.The second game saw the Lions

fight back and complete the double-header sweep in come-from-behind fashion. The Blue and White tallied its first

run of the finale when Wolfe hit into a fielder’s choice and plated Bernardi in the top of the second inning. Wolfe stretched Penn State Harrisburg’s advantage to 2-0 when she homered for the third time for the day in the top of the fourth stanza.

The Penn State Harrisburg golf team was unable to hold off Rutgers- Cam-den in the final round of the NEAC Championship Tournament on Satur-day, April 27.Even with Matt Plummer and Jason

Long finishing tied for second place overall, the Lions had to settle for a team second-place trophy.

Penn State Harrisburg finished with a score of 624 in two rounds of play, just behind the Scarlet Raptors’ 618 total. Rutgers-Camden will travel to Florida for the NCAA Division III National Tournament.The Scarlet Raptors started the final

18 holes with a nine-stroke lead, largely due to the -3, 69 score shot by the eventual tournament overall champion Quentin Griffith IV on Friday, April 26. After the first nine, the Lions had

picked up a few strokes and were feel-ing in contention thanks to Plummer and Long, who both had gained strokes on their Rutgers counterparts.Many of the Lions, despite playing

well, seemed to just miss a putt or chip shot every time they were ready to really start to close the gap. Chris Mur-phy, Matt Rowe and Tyler Gentzler finished with the same output from the day before, but Rutgers-Camden kept pace to avoid giving up too much of its lead.

You’ve heard the phrase a hundred times: nobody’s perfect. Nobody except Derek Slagle.The Penn State Harrisburg pitcher

made history on Tuesday, April 16 when he became the first player in school history to throw a perfect game.The North Eastern Athletic Confer-

ence (NEAC) recognized the fresh-man’s rare feat by naming him the league’s Student-Athlete of the Week for the time period ending Sunday, April. 21.Slagle took the mound against Penn

College and turned in the best perfor-mance of any pitcher in the conference to date. He allowed no runs, no hits, walked no batters and struck out three Wildcats in the Lions’ 3-0 victory.In the seventh and final inning, he

recorded the first and final outs of the stanza to seal the deal on one of the rarest accomplishments in all of sports.Slagle made a relief appearance

against NEAC rival Penn State Abing-ton on Sunday, April 21 and helped the Blue and White work out a jam with a runner on third base. For the week, Slagle pitched 7.1 innings and blanked the opposition in all statistical categories.

As the chief executive officer of

the Pennsylvania Coal Alliance and a former Pennsylva-nia state senator, I

have witnessed firsthand the unintended consequences of shortsighted govern-ment policies. Nowhere has this been more evident than in the area of energy policy.The Obama administration, through the

efforts of the Environmental Protection Agency, has mercilessly attacked the coal industry by imposing regulations that are forcing the electric generating industry to shut down coal fired capacity.In turn, by reducing the domestic

demand for coal, coal mines have been forced to shut down or reduce produc-tion.This has had a devastating impact on

our communities who have been depen-dent on the coal industry.Now we see the further impact of this

misguided federal policy in Erie, where General Electric has proposed to reduce its workforce by 950 jobs.Its facility is a production facility that

builds locomotives and mining equip-ment, and it is not difficult to see how federal energy policy is forcing the downsizing of another coal-related work-force.Joining the Obama administration in its

campaign against the coal industry has been its special interest environmentalist friends.Consider the case of the Homer City

electric generating station in Indiana County, an important part of the econom-ic infrastructure of that region.Last year, the Sierra Club announced it

would sue the plant’s owners and operators – among them, GE – as part of a campaign to close the plant.The owners

responded with detailed plans for a $725 million pol-lution control upgrade that would signifi-cantly reduce emissions of mercury, sulfur dioxide and other air pol-lutants.The Sierra Club’s answer? No. They

wanted the plant closed.In fact, the Sierra Club’s “Beyond Coal”

campaign all but brags about plants they have shut down, making no mention that, with them, they end thousands of jobs.Evidently, the Obama administration

and its environmental allies do not care about how much you pay for electricity, just as they don’t care about how many good-paying jobs they destroy.Make no mistake about it, remove coal

from energy production and your electric bills will rise, and many of your neigh-bors will be laid off when the companies they work for can no longer afford their utility bills.While reporters and analysts are quick

to say that the decline in coal is linked to a rise in electric companies switch-ing over to natural gas, be assured, when they’re through with coal jobs, the oppo-nents will come after the natural gas jobs. Obama’s allied environmental groups are hard at work to halt Pennsylvania’s natural gas boom.Sometimes all politics are not lo-

cal. State energy, environmental, and tax policies are not to blame for the devastating cuts to the General Electric workforce.Gov. Tom Corbett, in fact, is unambigu-

ously on record about believing in an “all of the above” menu for energy indepen-dence: gas, wind, solar and – yes, indeed – coal.In the past decade, science and industry

have made huge strides in turning coal into a clean-burning, efficient and eco-nomical source of energy for an expand-ing economy.It is sad that some leaders from the

Potomac to the Susquehanna don’t make the connection between that plant in Homer City, the mines in Pennsylvania’s mountains, and 950 lost jobs along the banks of Lake Erie.If leaders are serious about saving the

latter, they need to show more respect for the first two.

Editor,

As a high school student, I see the use of new technology growing in school every day. The goal at Middletown Area High School is to have every student be able to have their own laptop.This year, the Middletown Area School Board has tried a different approach. The board

gave iPads to the bottom percentage of the freshman class so they would focus more on school and wouldn’t drop out.This is not the case. These students use the iPads to play games at lunch, for social

networking and for anything else that isn’t school related.It was a mistake to give these students the iPads. If they wanted to see if iPads were more

efficient than laptops, then they should have given them to the top students.The top students would treat them with respect and actually use them for school work

rather than to goof around.The school board needs to re-think its actions and priorities for the incoming years as it

moves towards new technology.

Editor,

The No Child Left Behind Act was passed by Congress in 2001 to allow students to achieve success academically despite whatever obstacle (economic, location, etc.) exists. While it may provide additional financial support or flexible approaches to those who need it, it seems apparent that, in reality, this act hasn’t worked well. President Barack Obama’s Race to the Top, a spin-off idea, is unlikely to perform well,

either. A variety of state exams have resulted across the nation over the years to comply with

federal standards. As a high school student, I see the exams as an inaccurate representation of the student bodies taking them. Why is all this money invested towards these plans when it could be put to other useful aids, such as funding for construction, supplies, etc.?In this day and age, the ideas from these politicians have to change.

On the day of the Boston Marathon

bombings, Presi-dent Barack Obama stood in the White House briefing room and said, “We

will find out who did this; we’ll find out why they did this.”What motivated the murderous acts

allegedly committed by Tamerlan and dzhokhar Tsarvaev is the question on everyone’s mind. We would be surprised if it were not.But will people remain interested in the

motive if they don’t like what they hear?Judging by the recent past, the answer

might well be no.After 9/11, people wondered why

anyone would kill indiscriminately by flying airplanes into buildings.The Bush administration and others leapt to an unlikely conclusion: The hijackers “hated our freedom.”That seemed to satisfy most people. But

it made little sense, and based on previ-ous incidents, we already had ample reason to believe the answer lay else-where.Earlier perpetrators

of violence from the Middle East had made clear that what fueled their hatred of America was U.S. foreign policy in the region and the larger Muslim world.Osama bin Laden’s

own fatwa against the U.S. named three offenses:• Support for Israel’s occupation of

Palestine• The presence of American military

forces near Muslim holy sites in Saudi Arabia• The devastation of Iraq through 10

years of bombing and economic sanc-tions.But most American officials did not

want to hear – and did not want the American people to hear – that Muslim violence was in retaliation for U.S. for-eign policy.When Ron Paul, a candidate for the Re-

publican presidential nomination in 2008, criticized U.S. interventionist foreign policy during a primary debate, he was admonished by another candidate, Rudy Giuliani, among others, who claimed he had never heard such an outrageous thing. Giuliani was either lying or unaware that the official 9/11 commission and the Pen-tagon had previously acknowledged that U.S. foreign policy creates resentment among Muslims.What about the Tsarnaevs? We await the

facts, and dzhokhar Tsarnaev reportedly told authorities his acts were motivated by “religious fervor.’’ But it’s a good bet this resentment was part of their motiva-tion.The Tsarnaev family is Chechen, but

Chechnya’s beef is with Russia, not the U.S., so that seems an unlikely source of a desire to kill and injure runners and spectators in Boston.It is more likely the young men were

angered by U.S. drone warfare that has

Middletown Mayor Robert Reid, a social studies teacher in the Middletown Area School district, began an interesting program years ago in which students shadowed borough

officials to learn how local government works. It ended after Reid retired – but was revived last month, brought back by borough and school officials.Nine students from Middletown Area High School benefitted from

a real-life civics lesson, acting as mayor, borough solicitor and Bor-ough Council members during a mock council meeting on Monday, April 15.They brought a fictitious issue to the table – a proposed $1 million

community center, complete with a library, movie theater, sports complex, restaurant, chapel and Laundromat – and argued its mer-its and flaws. How would it be funded? Where would it be built?

And would such a government-owned, instead of privately-owned, facility be “communist?’’The proposal failed initially by a 4-2

vote, to the dismay of student-mayor Megan Martz. “We wanted it to pass,’’ explained Reid, who participated in the program, because Martz “was going to veto it’’ – a comment that drew laughter from the audience that had come to watch

council’s regular meeting that night.But a do-over produced a 4-2 vote to approve the project, Martz’ veto

and a lack of votes on the student council to override her veto.What it also produced is a valuable lesson on how government oper-

ates. The real-life experience, even if the decisions ultimately don’t count, likely will galvanize the civics lesson it provides in the mind of the students who participated.“I learned a lot of stuff I didn’t know before,’’ said Katlyn Flasher,

a student who served as council president during the program. Middletowners, take note: She hopes to be council president – for real – someday.“you’ve got to get the kids involved. If you don’t get the kids in-

volved, you’re not going to have anything,” said Council President Christopher McNamara, an opinion with which we agree.Kudos to the borough and school district for reviving this program.

Nine students – and perhaps a few others who sat in the audience that night – learned how government works, and benefitted as a result.If the students’ reaction afterward was any indication, the program

was more than a learning experience – it was inspirational to students as well. “They texted me and called me on the phone afterwards to tell me how energized they were,’’ said Jodi Sessa, their teacher.

killed thousands of Muslims in Pakistan, yemen and Somalia; brutal occupations in Iraq and Afghanistan; backing for dicta-tors and corrupt monarchs throughout the Muslim world; and unwavering material and moral support for Israel’s oppression and humiliation of the Palestinians, with no end in sight.The Washington Post reports that Tamer-

lan Tsarnaev, the older, deceased brother, told a neighbor, “In Afghanistan, most casualties are innocent bystanders killed by American soldiers.”If revenge for U.S. foreign policy was

the motive, what will happen next?Will such evidence prompt a national

reconsideration of America’s decades-old imperial foreign policy?Or will it be quickly dismissed, while

the bombings are exploited in an effort to double down on that foreign policy?U.S. Rep. Peter King, a Republican, has

already begun that effort. (Interestingly, Alberto Gonzalez, who was Attorney General under President George W. Bush, acknowledged on CNN recently that U.S. foreign policy is indeed resented by

Muslims abroad and prompts a desire for revenge.)There is much we

still don’t know about the Tsarnaev brothers and why they chose their deadly path. (What, if anything, did it have to do with Chechen organized crime?)Maybe it will turn

out that they simply developed a hatred for what they saw

as American licentiousness and felt they needed to strike out at it. (That dzhokhar Tsarnaev partied at his college after the bombings casts doubt on that prospect.)It seems far more likely that the murder-

by-drone of Muslim children, the no-knock night raids of Afghan homes, the daily humiliation of and violence against Palestinians, and the support for violent and corrupt rulers are what made these men want to exact vengeance against Americans.Of course, none of this would justify

killing innocents.But if we wish to prevent such wanton

crimes in the future, we’d better under-stand what motivates the criminals who commit them. Sheldon Richman is vice president of

The Future of Freedom Foundation, a libertarian think tank in Fairfax, Va.

What will we do if revengewas the motive in Boston?

If revenge for U.S. foreign policy was the motive behind

the Boston Marathon bombings, what will

happen next? Will such evidence prompt a national

reconsideration of America's decades-old imperial foreign

policy?

Evidently, the Obama

administration and its

environmental allies do not care about how much

you pay for electricity, just

as they don't care about how

many good-paying jobs they

destroy.

The real-life experience likely will galvanize the civics

lesson it provides in the mind of the students who

participated.

The state House of Represent-

atives recently approved a measure, House Bill 108, to extend the state’s

Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) through 2015.CHIP provides health insurance

to uninsured children and teens not eligible for or enrolled in medical assistance. The program, established in 1992, is set to expire at the end of this year without legislative action.The federal Patient Protection and

Affordable Care Act, together with the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010, have extended federal funding for CHIP through 2015.Free CHIP coverage is available

to eligible children in households with incomes no greater than 200 percent of the federal poverty level (FPL); low-cost CHIP coverage is available for those with incomes greater than 200 percent but no greater than 300 percent of the FPL; and families with incomes greater than 300 percent of the FPL have the opportunity to purchase coverage by paying the full rate negotiated by the state.Currently, 188,317 children

are enrolled in CHIP across the Commonwealth. Federal funds pay

they started telling it like it is! It’s funny how many candidates came up with their overdue tax money when it’s time for their names to be printed on an upcoming election ballot! The current council members are trying to solve a lot of problems that they inherited. Let’s trust them to get the job done!”

J“The recent news article about the theft and recovery of several firearms in Lower Swatara Twp. prompted me in writing this. Today, the police and public safety of-ficials are criticized more times on a negative than a positive. We are fortunate to have an exemplary police department right here in our community. Firearms that are stolen and are possessed in the wrong hands create possible harm to in-nocent people, create an atmosphere of intimidation and are means of serious crimes. Lower Swatara Twp. Police Department, as a result of an investigation by their detec-tive and patrol officers, brought the responsible persons and weapons accountable. Their quick recovery of the firearms makes our commu-nity safer today than yesterday. I’m proud to be a township resident and to have such a professional police department serving and protecting us. Again, JOB WELL DONE!”

J“Many people speak badly of the rental properties on Ann Street. If it weren’t for the properties on Ann Street, many low-income people would not have a place to live. I’ve been through some of those properties on Ann Street, and they were nicely renovated. Ann Street is within walking distance to the Laundromat, grocery stores, li-brary, pool, etc. If you think you can improve the atmosphere there, then I suggest you move there! Get down there and invite the families there to church, or just stop when you see them out, have a chat and try to get to know them. This town is made up of all kinds of people who are from all social-economic backgrounds. The people in this town need to stop the divisions and start looking out for one another. A strong commu-nity begins within each and every one of us! What are you doing to help someone in need?”

K“People need to stop complain-ing about the library that is no longer being 100 percent funded by the Borough of Middletown. It was the best thing for the library! The library employees were union employees! When several people offered to volunteer to do things for the library, the library workers had to refuse because they had union employees who had to take care of everything! The library no longer has to answer to the borough. If you want a library, pay for it! Attend the fundraisers! Most importantly, volunteer! The borough should add a library tax, which could be a few dollars a month to everyone’s utility bill.”

L“Congratulations, Borough of Middletown. You’ve virtu-ally busted the union, made us the laughing stock of the county and continue to embarrass us with your ready, fire, aim strategy. You just don’t get it, do you? It’s more than dollars and cents. It’s about pride and respect – something you don’t have, nor show.”

K“To the person who said they’ve been following the Middletown Citizens United social media page: You must be one of the lucky ones. For some reason, I must be blocked – and I’ve never had anything to do with their page, and I’m not any of the people who strongly and fre-quently voice their opinions about the borough. (I agree with most of them, though). I had to laugh when I saw the page only had three ‘likes.’ ”

L“Say ‘no’ to Sheetz. Local board groups are becoming more and more greedy as people become less and less interested in what is going on around them. They are allowing a monopoly of business and are only looking at the money, not the people. We love our mom and pop stores, local markets and stations (car washes, pizza shops). These college kids come in and are trying to uproot, for what? Do we allow it? No. They need to learn to adapt into our society – not us being pushed out for theirs. Boycott Sheetz and any new large corpo-

ration this Penn State campus or Lower Swatara Twp. wants to move in. You should do your homework before supporting a business. Do they pay taxes? If not, why are you supporting them even if they are the cheapest? You’re not helping yourself when your local township increases your taxes. You know for-eigners buy business and land, pay no taxes for seven years and then sell it off to one of their relatives that receive another seven years in tax breaks. Guess who keeps paying for them? We do. But I bet your mom and pop stores still pay taxes, which is why they are 10 cents higher. Should you dump them for the next guy? NO. One day all you greedy selfish non-thinking indi-viduals will regret some decisions because you are taking the Ameri-can dream away from your genera-tions to come. What about when you’re old and can no longer afford to live in this expensive market? IT STARTS AT HOME – RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW! Make a dif-ference. YOU CAN CHANGE THE WORLD FOR THE GOOD!”

K“So whatever happened to the Royalton officer charged with DUI? Does he still have a job?”

J“If you think the current council is making this stuff up, you need to do your research! How did the Middletown Borough recover from a $3.8 million deficit in the year 2007? Check out the Annual Report – munstatspa.dced.state.pa.us/afra; Then select ‘municipality Middletown Borough’; then select ‘year 2008’ (it’s actually for the previous year); click ‘view report.’ This council inherited a mess! After doing my own research, I’m pleased with the work they’re doing. If we lose the professionals that were brought in to help guide us through this mess, our town will not know what to do. Thank you to all the current council members for keep-ing your promises! Just wish you’d get the paper to print what you ask them to so that we could know more about what’s going on and why you make the decisions that you do make.”

“Common sense – not many people use it …” (Listen online at www.pressandjournal.com “Yes, I find it very interesting that they would want …” (Listen online at www.pressandjournal.com) “You should be ashamed to charge 75¢ for your paper …” (Lis-ten online at www.pressandjournal.com) “Middletown Borough must have money to burn …” (Listen on-line at www.pressandjournal.com)

L“Although I would like to blame the current horrible state of Middletown solely on this shady council, the blame should be shared with residents who were tricked by their lies for votes last election – such as myself – and the people of this town that failed to vote because they have lost all hope with our lo-cal political leaders. I will not make the same mistake twice, and ask that all non-incumbent candidates please learn from the mistakes of this cur-rent council – that when you serve only to fulfill your own personal agendas, all residents end up on the losing end.”

L“Council President McNamara, you have failed miserably! May I suggest you reevaluate your as-sociation with your handpicked sec-retary, and these so-called profes-sionals that are wasting taxpayers’ money on your illegal campaigns and pet projects that the residents were given no notice or chance to comment or debate. It seems as though Councilor Sites is fighting a losing battle trying to get your cronies to be transparent.”

L“I feel sorry for the high school students that shadowed Middletown Council at Tuesday’s committee meeting. Please do not use this council as an example of ethical political structure. Furthermore, typical McNamara telling these young individuals how to run and vote at the meeting. It’s a wonder you didn’t take them into executive session first.”

L“I’m sorry, but I do NOT want to go to the borough’s Facebook page, or anything else the borough has on the Internet, to find out if a meeting is being held or if some-thing happened at a meeting. Things on those places are too controlled and one-sided and biased. That is not news and informing the taxpay-ers.”

L“How many of you Middletown

residents will say, ‘Don’t blame me. I didn’t vote for the incumbents?’ ”

K“I wished Press And Journal Sound Off had a like and dislike button and the option to directly reply to comments. Then again, maybe that’s not such a good idea after all.”

M“This election you can com-pare to baseball. Mike Bowman being elected for mayor or council would be the third strike for this town. The first two were Olmsted base closing and Three Mile Island. Yes, Mike Bowman is comparable to those two. In fact, if I was a resident of any community within 30 miles of Middletown and he was elected. I would move.”

L“Tell me why all of the candi-dates for election aren’t trying to talk to us people? I know those not elected are working hard. But wait – those already in office are working just as hard not to say anything, and hope they’ll get re-elected. What will you do, taxpayers? What will you do?”

L“Drive through the town, notice what houses have ‘Bowman for Mayor’ signs and then the ones who have “Givler for Mayor.’ I think just by the houses you can tell what type of people vote for either candidate. With that being said, if this town wants any hope, VOTE GIVLER!”

L“Funny how now we’re putting all our faith in a guy who’s never been a police officer. He’s now a police administrator, but not a po-lice officer. He’s never been a police officer but he knows what they need? Give me a break! He’s not even running that department. When will we be able to respect the police department? When McNamara is gone and we get someone actually qualified in there to be chief.”

L“I would like to see the Middle-town schools superintendent tell us why the district is so low on the totem pole as far as test scores and other things. Send something to the Journal so we can read it.”

K“Time is getting close, Middle-town. Will you move ahead or keep on the downward spiral? Will you vote or sit back and watch ‘Dancing with the Stars’ instead of voting?”

L“School district, it would be nice before fall sports if whoever lines our fields would take some time and practice. Can we PLEASE have some straight lines this year on our fields? If it is a real problem,

then get the kids at the Olmsted summer program to do it as a field trip. Take some pride in it this year, please.”

K“To the people talking about the new high school: I was not for this project, and I went to the round table meeting they had for the public about the project. After I saw what I did, and got the facts on the funding of the project, I now stand corrected. Before you go on here and say things about the building of the new school, maybe you should attend the next meeting they have for it, because I stand corrected. The good news for you is that most of Middletown does not under-stand what is going on as well, so you don’t look so wrong to most of the town – just to those that get involved when they have questions on serious topics.”

M“How come football and bas-ketball, they hire quality coaches, and the rest of the sports, the coaches are bad or bullies? And no one cares about changing it. I am talking boys’ sports.”

L“When was the last time you looked at Elizabethtown’s or Hum-melstown’s downtown and com-pared it to Middletown’s. What’s the difference? You tell me.”

J“I, for one, want to say the Elks Theatre is doing better and better. There’s new life there. It makes me proud of my town. It may not be earth-shaking but it’s a start! I appreciate the volunteers doing so much work. I am becoming proud of my town again.”

L“While out of town, I saw my neighborhood on the news. Imagine 16-year-olds with nothing better to do than scour the parked cars for unlocked doors. In this reader’s opinion, the 16-year-olds can be guided appropriately and steered away from attempts at thievery. The morons who had their automatic weapons in unlocked cars are more of a concern to me. With so much needed in the way of gun control to keep guns out of the hands of those who are not responsible enough to have guns, I shudder to think that four people who should not have guns are living in my neigh-borhood! I would hope that there was some sort of fine, or license withdrawal, for the irresponsible gun owners. My late – but firm – opinion.”

Column No. 690/May 1, 2013

The Family of David Keefer - By E.G. (Pete) Keefer “While writing the newsletter I wrote a number of articles about Johann

Caspar Kieffer and his descendants, although I don’t pretend to be an expert on this particular line. I have been fortunate in having been in contact with a number of researchers from this family line - Fleming Keefer, Virginia Keefer, Cathy Green, Jane Wolfe, Caroline Thalman, Fred Johnson, and Gary Keefer are a few who come to mind. In Volume XV- Issue #2 of the newsletter (June 2002), I wrote that I had

finally been able to find the link to the family of Fleming Keefer. His ances-tor, Benjamin Keefer (1792-1816) was married to Mary Magdalena Baker on 31 Oct. 1816, and they were parents of the following children: Daniel, b. 5 Jan. 1819, was married to Catherine Van Dyke, daughter of Adam and Mary Steiner Van Dyke, on 7 April 1842: Samuel b. 22 Oct. 1820, was married to Lydia Fortney on 15 Nov. 1849; Catherine, b. 18 Nov. 1824, married Leonard Hunker on 2 Feb. 1854; Henry, b. 17 Feb. 1827, married Lydia Bell on 18 Sept. 1851; John b. 17 May 1828, d. Mar. 1894, was married to Mary A. Bell; David b. 2 Dec. 1830, married Nancy Simpson on 8 Dec. 1853; Benjamin, b. 12 Jan. 1833, was married to Sarah Deeds on 5 Mar. 1857; Sara, b. 8 Sept. 1835, married George Buzzard on 6 Mar. 1855; and Elizabeth, b. 28 July 1837, married Cyrus Bilheimer on 24 Jan. 1861. Benjamin was the son of Jacob and Anna Catherina (Schoner) Kieffer and the grandson of Johann Ludwig and Anna Margaret (Sprengle) Kieffer. Johann Ludwig was born in Breitenbach, Germany and came to America with his parents Johann Caspar and Agnes (Glockner) Kieffer. A while later I received a message from Fred Schaeffer of Goleta, California.

Fred was a descendant of David Keefer, the seventh child of Benjamin and Mary Magdalena Keefer, and he sent me additional details about David and his family. David Keefer was born on 2 Dec. 1830 in Pennsylvania and mar-ried Nancy Simpson on 8 Dec. 1853. Nancy was born in Ireland on 27 April 1826. They were parents to seven children: John Knox Keefer, b. 1854, d. 1933; Daniel Simpson Keefer, b. 9 Aug. 1856; James R. Keefer, who moved to California; Nancy Keefer, b. 1860, d. 1941, married to Joseph H. Funk; Letitia L. (Maggie) Keefer, b. 1866; Ella Thera Keefer, married to Winfield Scott Reed; and Hannah Jane (Jennie) Keefer, b. 1872. In 1876 David and Nancy Keefer moved with their family to a farm one and

one half miles east of Knoxville, in Marion County, Iowa, where David died on 29 Oct. 1906 at age 78. He is buried at Graceland Cemetery. His widow Nancy died on 4 Aug. 1915. Two of the daughters of David and Nancy Keefer, Letitia (Maggie) and

Obituary Mary Ann McCandlish Keefer

Mary Ann McCandlish was born in Morgan County Virginia on the 13th day of September, 1819, was married to John Keefer, November 5, 1843, in Bedford County, Pennsylvania. There were born to them six children: (1) Frederick Thompson, (2) Jane Clar-

ise (3) John William (4) Francis Dawson (5) Edward James (6) Samuel, all of whom survive except Francis D., who died in early manhood at Brimfield. From the marriages of her children there were born 15 grandchildren, 18

great-grandchildren, and one great-great-grandchild. They both united with the Methodist Church in Kickapoo, Ill. in 1856.

Her husband, Mr. John Keefer, died October 8, 1865, at Jubilee, Ill., and the deceased, Mrs. Mary Ann Keefer, died at her home in Brimfield on February 24, 1909, age 89 years, 6 months and 10 days. Leaving the mountains and valleys of their native East, the deceased came

with her husband to the then sparsely settled West, first living a few years near Hannibal and Palmyra, Missouri. Like Maryland and Virginia had been their home, Missouri was then a slave state and the familiar scene of negro habitations and negro laborers gave to the undeveloped country some of the features of their former home and helped somewhat to wean their affections away from their quiet eastern hills. The fame of the broad prairies and fertile lands of Illinois, however, soon

won them from their first choice and in the fall of 1851 they removed with relatives to Jubilee Township having, already selected farms there and where the family of the deceased made their homes for nearly 40 years. After leaving the Jubilee home she passed the declining years of her widowhood in the vicin-ity and village of Brimfield. She was a faithful wife, a devoted mother, and a kind a generous neighbor, always a friend of the distressed and ever solicitous to relieve the troubles of others. She was fortunate in all the circumstances of her family relations. Having a kind indulgent husband and dutiful children, she had few of the trials, which embitter life, and throughout her nearly 90 years her sweet disposition and unruffled nature knew more of smiles than tears. Thus it was hers to live in the bosom of her family and at last to pass peacefully to that mysterious beyond surrounded by her children whose pres-ence and cheerful services had ever lightened the shadows of widowhood and kept fresh her generous, loving and kindly heart to the end. Few have lived to such faltering faith in all mankind and fewer escaped the knowledge of evil, which never was known or guessed by her. The funeral services were held on Friday following her death, the funeral

sermon being preached at 10 a.m. at the residence by Rev. C.D. Shoemaker. The pallbearers were her grandsons, Frank, Fred, Ralph and Claude Keefer, and her two great-grandsons, Rudolph and Lloyd Savage. The remains were tenderly laid to rest by the side of her husband, in the Bramble Cemetery in Jubilee Township.

serve.Although it coincided with the

popular ‘’March Madness’’ NCAA college basketball tournament, this tournament pitted homeroom against homeroom to see who could bring in the most items to help the pantry, ac-cording to guidance councilor Michal Beth Chaffinch. In the process, students collected over

3,000 cans, boxes and bottles of food and other necessities for the pantry.“I was just amazed at the outpouring

of food from the community, from our kids and from staff,” Chaffinch said. “It really was a group effort from start to finish. I’m blown away by our kids

and what they did with this.”Chaffinch wasn’t the only one who

was blown away.“They did a fantastic job,” said JoAnn

Shipkowski, coordinator of the pantry, which is located in Royalton. “They just went above and beyond.”The students collected so much food

that it took more than four hours for the pantry to put it away, Shipkowski said.“The amount of food that they col-

lected was just incredible,” she said.As for the contest? Vaughn and Fer-

rari’s homerooms were the last team standing, while Jennifer Friedrichs’ homeroom finished a close second.
