January Is a season of hospitality and
social Joy. The embers of the Yule log
kindled upon thousands of henrthi still
sfiul forth their kindly beams: the
holly wreaths and garlands are yet upon
the walls, mid tho benediction of "pence
on earth, good will toward men" lias
not died nivity. In January, as in all
winter months, the domestic virtues arv
broadened and Intensified. The lire
lighted upon I he home altar brightens
the humblest cottage so that to tho
possessor tlieteof It becomes more glori
fied fliitu a palace celled with cedar and
painted with vermilion. Charles Dud
ley Warner declines that the lower the
mercury sinks Mil the thermometer, thti
more nercely the nolth wind rages and
the deeper the snow, the higher rises
the spirits of the community; lie has
also experienced that vague regret that
every one feels ut the termination of a
I lg snow sloim. There is Indeed a su
preme satisfaction In sitting before a
radiant llreplace. safely housed from
the "Icy fang and churlish chiding of
the winter's wind." and listening to the
tonrlng storm without. Hven tho Ks-
qulimiu must have something of tills
feeling as h" crouches in Ills Igloo se
cure from the Arctic blasts that rage
through the long Northern nights.
It Is tills sense of security and pence
Hint Hie home-lire Klves which makes
the risers of the season enjoyable and
even looked forward to with glad an
ticipation. The tire upon the hearth
sends forth Its choorrtil glow amidst tho
tempest like the "light of a Pharos
upon the stormy sen." Us lambent
iinme enables one to "thole the winter's
sleety dribble and crnneuCh cold," and
the cheerless aspect of nature Is soon
forgotten amidst tho Joys of a happy
tlrcsldt! and communion with congenial
lllcssed be winter! There is a pleas
ure in breasting the north wind ns it
sweeps down from Its Icy fastness. The
l.lood bounds and glows beneath Its
eager assaults, and one can say with the
exiled duke in the forest of Anion, "this
is no llattery." And ns the early twi
light draws on apace and perhaps the
storm gathers. Cnwper's words are in
stinctively recalled:
"I crown thee, kliiff of Intimate dellKhts;
Fireside enjoyments, home-born happiness.
And all the eomloits Hint the lowly roof
Of undisturbed retlicinent and the hourB

The Boston Herald has discovered that
the raising of sheep in tills country "Is
carried on under widely dlll'erent con
ditions." It finds that in some parts or
Ohio, for Instance, the average number
Of sheep in the Hocks kept by farmers
is M: in others,, ISO to a farm. In one
county in Oregon the average flock, at
Hie time the last census was taken, num
bered 6,000, while in Kerne county, Cal
ifornia, seven sheep misers have 20,ii00
each. From this basis a process of rea
soning is followed to show that it is
the owners of tho large Hocks who are
to suffer serious loss In consequence of
the admission of foreign wool free of
duty, while the Ohio farmer who keeps.
Sheep as a merely Incidental accompani
ment to lits general farming can give
up all his profits from that source
without causing him serious distress.
This may be a reasonable apology for
free trade from a Iloston biumlpomt,
for many very narrow things come from
the peculiar enlightenment of that cen
ter of thought. But let the Herald go u
step further in its application of Its
theory. In the newspaper world tho
Herald considots itself one of the largo
Industries. A vast capital Is employed
In its production from I he beginning to
the end of each year. It has neighbors
scattered about In all the towns reached
by lis own circulation. Many of these
neighboring sheets aro published by
men who aie compelled to engage In
other business besides that or newspaper
making in order to earn a living. What
would the Herald think of nn act of
congress that should tax its own Indus
try out of existence but which should
still sutfer tho small concerns to live
on because the proprietors could work
at something else and get money to pay
the current family exponses?
We do not believe that its fealty to
its party would carry It so far as to In
dorse any such view of domestic econ
omy, although it would lie on pieclsely
the same lino as Its views of the tariff
question as applied to tile sheep indus
try. The bean diet has been in.idn to
account for many peculiar things In

the responsibility of a very wholesome

AT 'I'll 13 THI3ATI3lt.
For several season New Year's week
has been filled at the Con ten bv Mr.
Stuart Itohson, who opened his annual
engagement at that house hist night.
The audience was not so huge ns Mr.
ltobsnn Is accustomed to draw in this
city, but the evening before a holiday is
ptoverblally bad for the theater, and
besides, the social features of the Yale
(lieu Club concert attracted a good
many of the cnmedl.in'r regular follow
ing. It Is needless to say that the week
as a whole will be a good one, for there
are few more popular actors than Mr.
Itobson, whose peisonality and stvle
are both unique and who is naturally
and otherwise a very funny man.
Mr. Itobson appeared last night for
the first time in thh city in F.tiekstone'.
comedy, "Leap Year, or the Ladles
Privilege." It is one of the older Kn
gllsli comedies worked over, with the
marks of the up-to-date retoucher,
who Is Mr. Ilnbson himself, vari
ously evident. The best that can be
said of It is Hint it given Mr. Itobson a
flashy sort of character well suited to
tile comedian's eccentilclties, but even
that character Is not equal -to some of
the others In' .the star's repertory. The
play itself, although intended lo 'be far
cical nftre the earlier Kugllsh Idea. Is a
strained play upon the old Hngllsh law
pet mlttlng Hie Indies to propose to the
objects of their affection. It possesses
none of the luxiirlotisness of dress, the
beauty or diction and Hie elegance of
character that enter into Hie old Kn
glisli standards of Sheridan, Coldsmith
or Knowies, and in some of Its situa
tions suggests the cheapest expedients
of Hie modern farce comedy writers. It
exploits n set of meddlesome servants to
an uninteresting degree and has for its
heroine a young widow, represented as
fascinatingly beautiful, put to the ex
tremity or proposing to her own servnnt,
a situation which has too little pallia
tion in the fact that the supposed
servant turns out to be a despised dis
tant relotive who lias wooed ami won in
This criticism is intended more to de
note the kind than the merit of the
play. It may at once be admitted that
It would be acceptable In the hands of
people of whom no better things are ex
pected. It Is. however, no less a com
pliment to Mr. Itobson and his asso
ciates than to their public to say that
there is a measure of disappointment
to those who go out to see what the re
vived play Is like.
Mr. Itobson is as delightful as ever so
far as the eccentric role of Dionyslus
Dimple permits him to reveul himself
and his art. Mrs. Robson Is sei n in a
rollicking character with a bit of a
brogue and with numerous handsome
gowns. The spirited abandon or her
Sally o'Leary did much to hold up a
performance that would have drauged
oeeii'slonally but for her vivacity. .Mr.
Henry Bergman, who Is well remem
bered here through Ills connection with
the "Friends" cast, playn the mock

Nvw York. Dec. SI Mr. Parkhiirsl to
.lisle gave out the siibloltiert statement
afln It had been lead before the everiltUe
coiiimlttee of the Society for the Preven
tion of Crime suit Indorsed by that body:
"In stating my po-ltloti touching ret lain
rpictintis now lying before the public mllul
I iiiiiliol express in) self too applet l.itlvrly
of lh. splendid work thst has been done
by ll.e sennte committee nnd Us talented
eoiiti-el, There hns been created HirotiEh
th-ir Inlriimsntn1lty an rpo'h '" the hl
tory if our cPy nnd there has b i crtired
at the polls a miitilclpn! revoi.iuon that
wool I have been lmposihIe except through
their agency or anency of a similar kind.
And it Is but Jilt that we go further than
this and recuxtilxe the walk of this com
mittee and of Its counsel ns being the In
fluence which Is eonlrlbutlng very largely
to similar mimlrlpsl upheavals throughout
the entile country. Mr. Lexow's commit
ter, Mr. (loft and Ills nssoelnles, do nn!
stand In need of our commendation, but It
Is it plenatire .-is well n a duty b accord
It, and It Is aeconled with earnest cin-dl.il-lly.
"If the readers of the statement will pal
themselves to the pslns of recalling what
transpired last spring they will remember
that at that time the writer of IhW state
ment mid a few associated with him were
the only ones who believed In the honesty
of purpose of the senate committee.
"The nevMperS were almost a unit In
their conviction that to rely upon .Mr. l.--ow
a:nl his colleagues for our municipal
deliverance whs to lean upon a broken
reed. 1 remember very well salng to Mr.
Lexaw nt Albany In the piesence of all hii
associates that 1 hud Just come from New
Yoik. wlieie the entire atmosphere was
pervaded with utter dlsginl of hint nnd all
the members of his committee. I became
convinced, however, by my personal as-o-
ellttloil Willi Mr l.nvme Me 1 ii-i.llev ne.,1
two or three of thiir colleagues, that the
committee could be counted upon to do
honest and faithful and thorough work
cle-ir up to the end. 1 gave lo them my en
tire confidence; I used mv best efforts to
break down the spirit of distrust which pr
valled, and, In conjunction with other mem
bers of the executive committee of the So
ciety for the Prevention or Clime, put at
the service of the senators the entire re
sources or our olllce. And they have been
at ailing themselves of those resources up
lo Saturday night last. We have watched
the actions ol the committee with the keen
est and unqualified assurance. Thcv have
bored Into the rotten tissue of the police
department with utter Indifference ns to Ihe
( hnrnetcr, political or otherwise, of what
they struck.
".Matters had been for so long a. time
conducted In entire thoroughness that we
had even forgotten that we had ever been
distrustful; but late In November the indi
cations were clear that the In-. estimation
was not to be pushed to lis close In the
same energetic and unsparing manner that
had been followed up to that dale. A good
many clays went by In which eases were
discussed which wearied the public, whli h
made no substantial addition to knowledge
already gained and which were frittering
aw lv time that we knew oug'jt to be ex
panded upon the Inspectors .mil superin
tendent. We knew the character of Ihe
police force was a reiiection from Ihe i har
arler of Its chief executive and his Immedi
ate Mitmrllnutes. and that however many
captains might be besmirched and how iter
many sergeants might be cashiered, the
genius of the matter would not be leached
till we had arrived al the quality of Un
live men. who. together, constitute its ex
ecutive headshln.
"In view or all this, we are Justllied In
saying that while the committee stood up
to the rack magnificently through nil the
other portions of the Investigation, they
llliiclied at the crisis. As long ago n
tvhen Mr. Moss undertook to adduce evi
dence against Mr. Byrnes In a direct man
ner, the Investigation committee sprang
to llvrries' aslstunee. Now, Is thnt not
a thing to bo debated'." Their attitude
was Instantly recognized bv those In at
tendance and distinctly stated In the
journals or the next morning.
"New. there was a reason for that. We
are not sating Just yet that there win
anything that could In; proved against
Mr. Hyines; we are saying that the com
mittee withheld theli support lrom ef
forts made to show that there tvai some
thing that could b" proved against Mr.
!lrnes Their thoroughness bnd:e down
at that point. Tiny stumbled Just at the
lompletion of their work. The chairman
of the committee will not dare to dent
that It is 'policy' (I have used that word
advisedly, lie will retognlze what I refer
toi that controlled him In his handling of
Mr. llyrm-s and not a deslie to act In
view of all the pu-.b!e or ascertainable
facts In Mr. Byrnes' case.
"Now, the presumption Is on the side
of the superinten.l-tit's being as criminal
as any other member of the force: so
thnt the hesitancy to hanllb- him as Will-
lams was handled could not proceed from
any prior convlc lion of his Innocence.
Wherever they have stuck In their fork,
they hvu found rot; nnd whether Byrnes
be rotten or not, he has been in rot thirty-one
years and has been the exei utlve
head for rot for ihe last two years. The
presumption, then-tore, was against him,
bo that the Indisposition to handle him
thoroughly must hate been grounded In
other eonslileralleii than that of his pre
sumable Innocence.
There are two ways In which Mr.
Byrnes has put the committer inidei ob
ligations, and to that degree destroyed
their Independence. Bo put them under
obligations by consenting to help defeat
Tammany Ball, and It Is to be remem
bered that Ihl committee Is llrst and fore

A reinstated ban on serving food in Pennsylvania funeral homes will not affect business much at local funeral parlors.

Serving food at funeral homes was banned in Pennsylvania from 1952 until 2012, when a federal judge lifted the ban he called "unconstitutional." A federal appeals court recently reinstated the ban, citing public health concerns.

Thomas V. McLaughlin, funeral director at M.J. McLaughlin Funeral Home in Wilkes-Barre, said his parlor has served food to accommodate client families, but the practice has not been a large part of business.

"It's just been an accommodation we would make when requested," McLaughlin said.

He said the ruling is "very, very minor" and that serving food or coffee has not led to increased sales or financial gain.

According to McLaughlin, only five or six families per year would request food at funerals, but of that, 90 percent of the families would bring their own sandwiches or coffee.

While food has been allowed at funeral parlors the past two years, it has been moderated by operating laws for funeral directors. McLaughlin said food can only be served in areas approved by a board, usually a separate room away from the viewing area.

Sam Desiderio, funeral director at Desiderio Funeral Home in Mountain Top, said he has been in the funeral business since 1976 and has never served food at his parlor.

"It's not something that people normally do," Desiderio said. "... But I don't have any objections, as long as it's not in the main viewing room."

Tony Recupero, funeral director at Anthony L. Recupero Funeral Home in West Pittston, said he also has not served food at his funeral parlor, but he does not see why it should not be allowed if a family requests it.

"I don't have a problem with it either way ... why would I say no?" Recupero said. "As long as you're not in the viewing room eating a Subway hoagie. That's just common courtesy."

The three funeral directors all said they know very few funeral parlors in the area that serve food at funerals, and the affect of this ban will be felt more in other parts of the state.

"Up here, people just tend to do the traditional thing that they've done for the past 100 years," Desiderio said.

Brian Leffler, owner of Kniffen O'Malley Funeral Homes in Avoca and Wilkes-Barre, said he was looking at making some renovations to his funeral parlors so he could accommodate food service, but will hold off on those plans due to the recent ruling. Leffler said Pennsylvania is one of just five states in America that does not allow food to be served in funeral parlors.

McLaughlin said the ban may eventually be lifted again, but it is not something that is particularly important.

"There's a possibility that rules and laws can change ... there may be enough requests at some point in the future that this is what they desire," McLaughlin said. "I don't know if the majority of us do (desire lifting the ban)."

Council's 'Sound and Fury' Is Getting Old

0 Comments · Tuesday, January 4, 2011
Last week's extended soap opera at City Hall about how to fill a $54.7 million deficit in the budget ended anti-climatically, with differing City Council factions temporarily solving the dilemma by resorting to the same sort of tricks they did last year — instead of showing leadership or political courage, the mayor and nine elected council members decided to use $27 million in one-time sources of cash to patch over the immediate problem and approve studies into possible changes that could yield the rest of the savings.

Groups Target Berding As He Tries to Dump Clinics

0 Comments · Wednesday, December 15, 2010
Anyone familiar with the political career of Cincinnati City Councilman Jeff Berding probably isn't too surprised that some local groups are accusing him of being “two-faced” and reneging on a promise he allegedly made behind closed doors. The groups say Berding told Cincinnati's police union that he would only support the city's proposed streetcar system if it was fully funded by federal grants.

Brian Trotta and the Drop Inn Center

With temperatures in the 90s, even sitting in a car with the windows rolled down and the air conditioning turned off is a sweaty proposition. So whether Cincinnati Police Officer Brian Trotta last week had an alleged "family medical emergency" or not, it would've taken just a few minutes to leave his police dog with a colleague or a few seconds to at least roll down the windows. Trotta did neither, and the dog died.

Changing How the Ohio Constitution Is Changed

Bill would make citizen-led statewide ballot initiatives harder to pass

1 Comment · Tuesday, June 1, 2010
A new bipartisan proposal would make it more difficult to place citizen-led initiatives on the Ohio ballot. Under the new requirements, for example, the recent approval for statewide casino gambling wouldn't have passed. Supporters say the new law would that ensure special interests don't dominate at the polls by spending large amounts of cash on advertising. Critics, however, allege it feeds public apathy and the current trend toward low voter turnout.

Bortz Bungles Ethics Disclosure, Harms Streetcars

2 Comments · Wednesday, May 5, 2010
If anyone is to blame for the controversy over why Councilman Chris Bortz ignored an Ohio Ethics Commission advisory opinion regarding his votes on the city's streetcar plan, it's Bortz himself. Why ask for an opinion at all if he wasn't going to follow it? And once the opinion has been issued, it would be better to come clean about it rather than wait for the slow burn of its release almost a year later, which makes the whole affair look sordid.

2010 Recipients

Each year the Woodland Police Department awards individuals (officers and employees) for their efforts and achievements. The following individuals performed above and beyond the call of duty for calendar year 2010:

2010 Officer of the Year - Jason Drobish

Jason was born and raised in Amsterdam, New York.  After graduation from high school, he enlisted in the United States Marine Corps and was assigned to Basic Training at Parris Island, South Carolina.  He then was assigned to four weeks of infantry training at Camp Geiger in Jacksonville, North Carolina and six weeks of security training at the Chesapeake Naval Base in Chesapeake, Virginia.  He spent 20 months in London, England as Corporal of the Guard with the USMC Security Forces.  After that, he transferred to the Marine Base at Camp Pendleton where he was a Squad Leader/Platoon Sergeant for two years.  In July 2003, he transferred to the Marine Corps Jungle Training Center in Okinawa, Japan as the Operations Chief of Training where he remained until his Honorable Discharge in 2006.  While serving in the Marine Corp, Jason received numerous awards and citations, some of which include Rifle Sharpshooter Badge, Pistol Marksman Badge, Marine Corps Good Conduct Medal, Global War on Terrorism Service Medal, National Defense Service Medal, Navy and Marine Corps Overseas Service Ribbon, and Navy Meritorious Unit Commendation.

Officer Drobish was hired in June 2007 as a Recruit Officer while attending the Napa Valley Criminal Justice Training Center Police Academy.  He graduated from the Academy in December 2007 and was then sworn in as a full-time Police Officer.  Jason is a Field Training Officer and a member of the SWAT team.  He's also been recently assigned a School Resource Officer.  The nominations that were submitted by his peers cited Jason’s commitment to making himself, others, and the department better; he is trustworthy, responsible, and is a consummate team player; he is continually willing to step up and offer guidance and training; and he always has a positive attitude and a selfless work ethic.  Jason is a proud father of a 7-year old son.

It is with great pleasure and honor that we recognize Jason Drobish as our Department’s Officer of the Year.

2010 Employee of the Year - Bonnie Sylva

Bonnie was born in Yreka, Siskiyou County, CA.  She was raised on the family ranch, which has been in the Sylva family for more than 140 years.  Bonnie attended a one-room school (Willow Creek Elementary School) until 7th grade.  From 7th grade through high school, she rode the bus 50 miles a day to go to “town” schools in the big city of Yreka!  The first paying job she ever had, starting at age 15, was driving cattle, fixing fence, hauling hay, etc. for $1.50 per hour on the ranch.  Before that, she was unpaid labor, along with all of her siblings and cousins.

As a country girl and 4-H club member, one of the highlights of her 4-H years was raising, showing and selling the Grand Champion Hog of the Siskiyou County Fair!  After high school, she attended business colleges in Medford, Oregon and in Eugene, Oregon and received certifications in Business Secretarial studies and Legal Secretarial studies.  While living, working, and going to school in Eugene (about 35 years ago), that’s when Bonnie became a life-long, die-hard University of Oregon football fan – GO DUCKS!

Bonnie’s had a varied, and always interesting and educational job history from such jobs as a retail clerk at JC Penneys, to pre-school teacher, to managing the front office at Natomas High School, and the longest job before moving to Woodland was as a Judicial Assistant at the San Luis Obispo Superior Court for over 16 years.  Bonnie joined the Woodland Police Department January 2001.  Bonnie is commended for her unwavering dedication to her assignment, to the Chief, our department and to the wellbeing of all the staff.  She not only ensures all our timecards are submitted on time but she also reminds us whose birthday it is and whose baby was just born so we can celebrate as a family.  She can answer your questions about this and that and all things related to the Office of the Chief of Police.  You can rest assured that if Bonnie said she would, she’s taking care of business.  Bonnie is always polite, confident, energetic, upbeat, funny! She’s compassionate and shows genuine concern for people’s problems and makes sure that the Chief knows about things when he should know.

When Bonnie married her husband 15 years ago, she was also fortunate enough to be blessed with two wonderful and loving step-children.  Now, they have the two most adorable and precious grandsons and two more grandsons on the way!

Thank you Bonnie for all that you do behind the scenes to keep things running smoothly.  You’re truly invaluable.  Congratulations to the Woodland Police Department’s 2010 Employee of the Year – Bonnie Sylva.

Invesco’s Greenwood: fiscal cliff will (only) wipe 1.5% off US growth

Invesco’s Greenwood: fiscal cliff will (only) wipe 1.5% off US growth

Invesco Perpetual’s John Greenwood believes the US fiscal cliff will only wipe off up to 1.5% of economic growth, rather than the full 4% being forecast.

The firm’s chief economist said the automatic tax increases and spending cuts set to come in at the start of next year amount to $615 billion or nearly 4% of GDP, which would be a ‘serious hit to growth’ in 2013.

However, Greenwood said Barack Obama and the opposition have had constructive discussions and that they will likely come to an agreement which will mitigate the economic impact of the fiscal cliff.

‘I think they will reach agreement but not on the full extent of it – so I see a fiscal cliff reduced to 1-1.5% of GDP,’ said Greenwood. ‘There are good prospects of an agreement but still some tightening of fiscal policy going forward.’

He said Obama’s re-election will not have much of an impact in monetary terms, as Ben Bernanke will continue at the helm of the Fed, whereas Romney had proposed to depose him.

‘That won’t happen, Bernanke will continue until 2014,’ said Greenwood. ‘The Fed is set on quantitative easing for the foreseeable future.

‘On the Fiscal side… under Obama we will continue to have budget deficits for the foreseeable future and are not going to have drastic austerity any time soon.’

Invesco’s chief investment officer Nick Mustoe added that Obama’s re-election is pretty neutral overall. ‘The key thing and the broader issue is what’s happening within the US economy, so it’s not just fiscal,’ said Mustoe.

‘There’s an obvious improvement in the housing market and a real bonanza from oil and gas. We should keep a balanced picture of what’s driving corporate earnings at the moment.’
