Easton High football team blanks Freedom to reach District 11 4A final

Posted on by

After Steve Shiffert praised his players for another dominant effort, Easton athletic director Jim Pokrivsak approached the Red Rovers' postgame huddle.

Pokrivsak handed a game ball to Shiffert, a gift to commemorate the coach's 200th career win. Friday's victory came in a similar fashion to many of Shiffert's first 199 with Easton.

Senior running back Shane Simpson plowed for 205 yards behind an offensive line that has owned opponents all season. The Red Rovers also maintained their defensive stinginess, forcing five turnovers in a second straight playoff shutout.

Fourth-seeded Freedom never stood a chance against No. 1 Easton, which rolled to a 28-0 win in a Districts 2-11 Class 4A subregional football semifinal at Cottingham Stadium. The Red Rovers (12-0) earned one final home game next week, when they will take on No. 7 Parkland for the District 11 4A title and a spot in the state quarterfinals.

Parkland (10-2) advanced to its third straight District 11 4A final with a 31-7 win over No. 3 Delaware Valley. The Trojans have won the last two district titles, including a 42-0 demolition of Easton in the championship game last year.

The Red Rovers have been the group crushing opponents this year. They ran for 311 yards to beat Freedom (9-3) for the second time this season.

Easton also limited Freedom to 165 yards of total offense. Ninety of those yards came in the fourth quarter, by which point the Red Rovers already owned a 28-point lead.

"Defense was the name of the game tonight," Shiffert said. "The field position was excellent."

Simpson did much of his damage in the first quarter, running eight times for 123 yards and two touchdowns. His second score, a 69-yard romp on a third-and-two carry, gave the Red Rovers a 14-0 lead.

Simpson's latest 200-yard game moved him into second place on Easton's single-season rushing list. His unofficial total for this season stands at 1,856. The only player ahead of Simpson is Juan Gaddy, who ran for 1,894 yards as an Easton junior in 1991.

Freedom High football team eager for its second crack at Easton

Posted on by

Practicing in mid-November is an afterthought for members of Easton's football program.

The Red Rovers play a Thanksgiving game with Phillipsburg every year. They tend to have a playoff game or three to prep for before battling the Stateliners.

Before this week, Freedom's current players had never spent the second week of November practicing. The Patriots are coming off their first postseason win since 2008, when their oldest players were sixth-graders.

Playing deeper into the fall hasn't fazed Freedom. The Patriots bopped around Bethlehem Area School District Stadium on Wednesday, eager for another opportunity to play a team that handed them one of their two losses this season.

That opportunity arrives Friday. Fourth-seeded Freedom (9-2 overall) will make the short ride from Bethlehem to Cottingham Stadium for another crack at No. 1 seed Easton (11-0) in a Districts 2-11 Class 4A subregional semifinal.

"We're kind of in a rhythm now where we've been in big, emotional football games since Week 7," Freedom coach Jason Roeder said. "We understood we were going to be in this position. It's a matter of earlier in the week, coming back, recovering and then building as the week goes on, so we get back our intensity as the week goes on.

"That's what it's been all about. We expect to get back mentally and emotionally to get ready to go at another huge, intense football game Friday night."

Freedom's first trip to Cottingham Stadium this season was the one time it did not at least play a team close for four quarters. Easton led just 14-6 at halftime but pulled away for a 47-27 win that gave it the first EPC South Division title.

The Red Rovers gashed the Patriots for over 400 rushing yards that night, with Shane Simpson and Dalvyn Reynolds doing most of the damage. Easton's pair of 1,000-yard rushers hurt Freedom by reaching the edge time after time.

"We missed a few tackles, which, hey, it's going to happen," Roeder said. "It's a matter of, we've got to execute better. If we're going to win, we've got to win a couple of more individual battles."

Whither freedom of the American press

Posted on by

Publication Date : 15-11-2014

The United States has prided itself on freedom of expression (or freedom of the press), but several signs show that the American administration and the corporate-owned US media have compromised this freedom.

One such indication is the growing public distrust in the US media. About 60 per cent of the respondents to a Gallup poll on Americans' trust in the media to report "the news fully, accurately and fairly" in September said they either did "not (have) very much" trust or no trust "at all" in the media.

Most of the mainstream US media outlets, which are now controlled by big corporations, have been criticised for not reporting news events such as the Occupy Wall Street movement across major US cities three years ago, largely because it was directed against Wall Street and corporate America.

Major US news organisations have also collaborated with the US government to hide vital information from the public. In 2011, The New York Times, The Washington Post and Associated Press intentionally lied about the identity of Central Intelligence Agency contractor Raymond Allen Davis, who was accused of murder in Pakistan, at the request of the US administration. They admitted their double standards only after the UK-based The Guardian exposed their lie.

Every year, Project Censored, based at Sonoma State University in California, publishes a book on the news stories omitted or censored, often by major US news organisations. The list is huge.

While news organisations have increasingly compromised their principles, the US administration has increased its intervention in their day-to-day functioning despite the First Amendment of the US Constitution stating that freedom of the press should be protected.

Possible agreement to be reached in Freedom Industries remediation in Charleston, WV

Posted on by

A new agreement could be reached soon in the ongoing remediation of the Freedom Industries Etowah River site in Charleston, WV.

A consent order signed by Mark Welch, managing director of Freedom Industries, was agreed on Nov. 12.

DEP Secretary Randy Huffman has been adamant that the risk to drinking water be eliminated and the entire agency stands by that commitment.

By signing the consent order, Freedom's restructuring team (led by Welch) is agreeing to, and legally bound to, clean up the site and allocate the financial resources to complete that work, DEP said.

The consent order is out for public notice until Dec. 17.

Once the public notice period is completed, the DEP will likely sign the agreement, which would finalize it, according to DEP spokeswoman Kelley Gillenwater.

Within 15 calendar days after the effective date of the order, Freedom Industries shall submit for approval a proposed plan and timeline for accomplishing remediation of the Etowah site.

The order also says remediation shall be achieved as approved by WVDEP Division of Water and Waste Management. Upon approval, the plan shall be incorporated into and become a part of this Order, as if fully set forth herein.

There is a possibility that the agency could make changes to the order based on the feedback received, Gillenwater said. If changes are made, the consent order would go back to Welch to review and sign, then the revised consent order would again be put out for public comment.

A finalized consent order would allow Freedom to apply for the DEP's Voluntary Remediation Program, which has an established framework already in place for site remediation. Any company with any outstanding orders would not be allowed to apply for that program.

Freedom Of Information Bill To Emerge From 4-Year Limbo

Posted on by

Another promise of a Freedom of Information Bill was made in the House of Assembly this week. While the promise is an old one the bearer is newly appointed Territorial Governor His Excellency, Governor John Duncan.

The highly anticipated Freedom of Information legislation is constantly being referred to as the much-needed Bill for information related issues of the Territory and it came as no surprise that the promise of such a Bill made yet another appearance in the 2014 Speech from The Throne delivered on November 10.

The promise of such a bill was first made in 2011, repeated in 2012, mentioned in 2013, and promised again in 2014.

In Mondays Speech Governor Duncan announced: Government will seek to introduce the Freedom of Information Bill to provide the public with the right of access to information in the possession of the public authorities, thus making available to the public information about the operations of public authorities and, in particular, ensuring that the authorizations, policies, rules and practices affecting members of the public in their dealings with public authorities are readily available to persons affected by those authorizations, policies, rules and practices.

In his Speech that was delivered on 7 October 2013, previous Governor Boyd McCleary announced that Government still intended to pilot such a bill.

Bill Drafted

It was announced in January 2012 that a Freedom of Information Act had already been drafted and was awaiting attention from legislators to become law. Information about the legislation was disclosed by renowned Attorney Gerard St.C Farara Q.C who was presenting under the topic The 2007 Constitution and Good Governance in the Virgin Islands during the 24th annual Frederick Pickering memorial lecture on 17 January.

Queens Counsel Farara announced that the Law Reform Commission drafted and submitted a Freedom of Information legislation to government, in response to the fact that the Territory does not have any such law. He stated that the drafted legislation was submitted to Government for their consideration and tabling before the House of Assembly.

Mr. Farara explained that a Freedom of Information Act was much needed, as it is key to enabling members of the public to have access to and become more informed about matters relating to decision-making in Government.

Such legislation has certain financial and other implications for the Territory when fully implemented. Accordingly, as elsewhere, it may have to be brought into effect piecemeal over a period of time. That having been said, the importance of such legislation to transparency, accountability and generally keeping the public informed about government activities, cannot be ignored. As we have seen, this is most critical to the free flow of information and hence good governance, Mr. Farara stated.

Political Diversity Pioneers Win Medal Of Freedom

Posted on by

Several of this year's recipients of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest honor the national government gives to civilians, are people of color. They include recording star Stevie Wonder and the late Alvin Ailey, legendary choreographer and founder of the Alvin Ailey Dance Theater.

Still, many of the honorees made their presence felt on the political stage, challenging America's presumptions about people of color.

Suzan Shown Harjo testifies on Capitol Hill before the Senate Indian Affairs Committee hearing on "Stolen Identities: The Impact of Racist Stereotypes on Indigenous People" in 2011.

Suzan Shown Harjo, who is Cheyenne and Hodulgee Muscogee, has long been an advocate for Native American rights.

Before she petitioned the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to cancel the federal trademark registrations for the Washington Redskins, she had already successfully stopped other sports teams from using names and mascots demeaning to Native American cultures.

She worked with Native American activist groups to get the University of Oklahoma to retire its mascot "Little Red" in 1970. Soon after, and with pressure from Harjo and these groups, Dartmouth University retired the "Indian" as its unofficial mascot. In the mid-1990s, Harjo persuaded the Kentucky Department of Education and schools to change all the school names and mascots that were Native American stereotypes.

In the 1960s, Harjo co-produced Seeing Red, the United States' first Native American news program, at New York radio station WBAI. There, she met her husband, Frank Harjo, with whom she reported on New York's vibrant Native American community. Her involvement in the local art scene is what initially sparked her interest in work advocating for the repatriation of sacred Native cultural objects held by museums. In 1974, Harjo began working as a legislative liaison representing Native American rights in addition to serving as the news director of the American Indian Press Association.

Under President Jimmy Carter, Harjo served as a congressional liaison for Indian affairs and supported Native American positions in the formation of federal policy. In this role, she worked toward the passage of the American Indian Religious Freedom Act of 1978, which was intended to protect the traditional religious and cultural practices of Native Americans, Alaskans and Hawaiians.

She helped found the Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Indian and served as a founding trustee in the 1990s. Harjo was also the guest curator and general editor for a 2014 exhibition and book at the museum about treaties between the United States and Native American nations. Currently, Harjo serves as the president of the Morning Star Institute, a national Native American advocacy organization.
