NEIFPE member Kathy Candioto sent this letter to the editor about Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos.
DeVos failing public schools
I challenge anyone to name something positive that Education Secretary Betsy DeVos has done for public education.
A longtime Republican donor from Michigan (whose family's worth is $5.4 billion), Devos got off to a rough start when her 2017 Senate confirmation hinged on a tie-breaking vote from Vice President Mike Pence. The hearings revealed her amazing lack of knowledge on education law and policy.
DeVos attended private schools, as did her children. Caring little about public schools, she is strong advocate for vouchers and charters. It is shameful that Cabinet member DeVos should be held in contempt of court and her department fined $100,000. (October, 2019).
Public school supporters look forward to the end of DeVos' tenure in 2020. DeVos has been a complete failure to our public school teachers and students.

CHARTER SCHOOL LAW CHALLENGED
Indiana's $1 charter school law challenged by 2 more districts, following West Lafayette case
Communities pay for their local schools yet the State of Indiana allows private companies to buy those schools which have closed for $1.
From the Journal & Courier
A pair of Northwest Indiana school districts, fearing they might have to give up recently vacated classroom space for $1 to a charter school, followed West Lafayette Community School Corp.'s lead this week, filing a lawsuit challenging a state law they say is unconstitutional.
On Thursday, the Lake Ridge School Corp. and School City of Hammond filed a suit naming Gov. Eric Holcomb, the State Board of Education and the Indiana Department of Education, arguing that the state law – passed in 2011 and designed as a key piece of Indiana's school reform movement – treated the districts unfairly and amounted to a "taking without just compensation."
INDIANA GRADUATION EXAM
Indiana's 2019 graduation rate is steady, but fewer students are passing the exit exam
Perhaps decisions about education should be made by actual educators rather than the reform-informed/influenced legislators.
From Chalkbeat*
Indiana could see fewer students require waivers as it adopts what's known as graduation pathways, which offers Indiana high schoolers multiple options for completing the requirements to graduate, thus deemphasizing testing. Students choose their path based on their interests, such as going to college or earning a technical certification.
Supporters of the approach say pathways better prepares students for careers, but critics insist the options could lower the bar for Indiana's students and devalue the state's diploma.
The new data also shows that virtual schools continue to post some of the lowest overall graduation rates in the state. Indiana Virtual Pathways Academy, which closed in September after the state found it inflated enrollment, saw 5.6% of its seniors graduate. Achieve Virtual Education Academy graduated 48%, and Indiana Connections Academy graduated 61%.
Nationally, only about half of virtual students graduate on time, said Gary Miron, a national policy fellow at the National Education Policy Center.
APPALLING STORIES ABOUT TESTING
Arguably the two most appalling stories about the standardized testing obsession of the 2010s
There's too much testing. We're using the tests in the wrong ways.
From the Answer Sheet
No teacher had been asked to help write NCLB, and the results showed: Schools were labeled as failing and penalized unfairly; many schools sharply limited or dropped teaching key subjects such as history, science and the arts because only math and reading were tested; and test preparation became the focus of the school day in many classrooms. Recess for young kids? No time.
Arne Duncan...knew that NCLB had been a failure, but he pursued policies that made standardized testing even more important than before. He wanted states to use the scores to evaluate teachers and principals...
There were stories about teachers being evaluated on the test scores of students they didn't have and subjects they didn't teach.
There were stories of high-performing teachers getting poor evaluations because of complicated and problematic algorithms that were used to calculate their "worth" in class...
And there were stories of pep rallies and other incentives to get students "excited" about taking standardized tests.
But there were two that still resonate deeply and reveal just how vacant — and mean — some of the policy was...
SEGREGATION CONTINUES
Chalkbeat: How GreatSchools Inc. Contributes to Segregation
Despite the fact that Separate but Equal was declared unconstitutional in 1954, the US still has segregated schools.
Matt Barnum and Gabrielle LaMarr LeMee wrote a provocative article about the way that a private school rating agency rates schools and steers patents toward white affluent schools and away from schools where children of color predominate. Larry Cuban reposted the article on his blog.
GreatSchools ratings effectively penalize schools that serve largely low-income students and those serving largely black and Hispanic students, generally giving them significantly lower ratings than schools serving more affluent and more white and Asian students, a Chalkbeat analysis found.
INDIANA TEACHER PAY -- ON HOLD
Teachers' pay not on '20 agenda
Teachers...Parents...have you followed up with your legislators and the Governor since the Red for Ed Rally last November? If you don't then we were just making noise with no substance.
In just 48 days, Indiana lawmakers hope to curb the smoking epidemic, shore up the state's unemployment fund and make some modest changes in education.
But the biggest issue – raising teacher pay – will have to wait until 2021.
The session opens Jan. 6 and must end by midnight March 14. But the desired end-date is March 11 due to NCAA basketball coming to town.
Republicans are holding firm that a short session isn't an appropriate time to open up the state's two-year budget.
But Democrats say that's exactly what they are doing by planning to change the existing budget to pay for a handful of building projects with cash instead of bonding. This is akin to buying a house with cash instead of taking out a mortgage.
Sen. Eddie Melton, D-Gary, proposed funneling some of the excess dollars in the state's reserve fund – $200 million of $300 million identified by Republicans – to an existing Teacher Appreciation Grant program.
Gov. Holcomb talks teacher pay
From WANE.com
The challenge, Holcomb says, is trying to put money in teachers' pockets yet preserve district autonomy.
Holcomb created his "Next Level Teacher Compensation Commission" to address that challenge.
"Thankfully, the Teachers Association (union) is at that table on that teacher commission," says Holcomb.
"I want to make sure, once again, this is critically important that salaries are locally bargained."
WHO WILL TEACH TOMORROW'S CHILDREN?
Schools fight trend to prepare new teachers
Enrollment in teacher preparation programs has dropped more than 33% nationwide since 2010, and Indiana has been affected more than most, according to a report this month from the Center for American Progress.
The nine states where enrollments dropped at least 50% include Indiana, 54%, and neighboring Michigan and Illinois, 67% and 60%, respectively, the nonpartisan policy institute found.
The report, "What to Make of Declining Enrollment in Teacher Preparation Programs," examined federal data from 2010 to 2018, including the number of students who completed such training. That figure dropped 28% in that period.
The trend is worrisome for Fort Wayne Community Schools, the state's largest school district. It serves nearly 30,000 students.
TEXAS AND ARIZONA FIGHT VOUCHERS
Education Law Center: The Failure of Vouchers in Texas and of Voucher Expansion in Arizona
It has not been a good year for vouchers. The research continues to show that they don't "save poor kids from failing schools." They are in fact more likely to cause their academic performance to decline.
Pastors for Texas Children has led the effort to block vouchers in Texas and SOS Arizona led the effort to block voucher expansion in Arizona.
Voucher advocates (Koch-funded) are coming back with new legislation for 2020, and Arizona SOS has pledged to beat them again.
There are heroes among us.
PRE-K VIA SCREENS?
WI: Pre-K Cyberschool Shenanigans
With all the news about the damage screen-time is doing to young children you'd think that legislators would be against more of it, yet here we have another state falling for the online preschool scam...just like Indiana.
From Curmudgucation
A few Wisconsin legislators have a dumb idea for a law. They'd like to spend $1.5 million on cyberschool-- on line computerized instruction-- for pre-schoolers.
This is just layers and layers of dumb.
First, cyberschools in general have proven to be lousy. Spectacularly lousy-- and that's in a study run by an organization sympathetic to charters.. Students would be better off spending a year playing video games lousy. So bad that even other charter school promoters won't defend them lousy. In short, outside very specific sets of special needs, there is no evidence that cyberschooling works.
Second, while there is still considerable debate, the general consensus is that screen time for littles should be somewhere between very small amounts and none at all.
Third, academic studies are a lousy idea for littles, unlikely to yield real benefits even as they may create real harm.
VIRTUAL CHARTERS -- FAILING OUR STUDENTS
A tiny Indiana town saw promise in virtual charter schools. Then things started to unravel.
The lesson to be learned here is that you cannot trust charter schools to have the best interests of children in mind. The Bottom Line is profit...
When Indiana's largest charter network collapsed earlier this year after an enrollment scandal that triggered state and federal investigations, the resulting mess left hundreds of students scrambling for transcripts, dozens of teachers unpaid, and $40 million still owed to the state.
The downfall of Indiana Virtual School and Indiana Virtual Pathways Academy also placed under the microscope Daleville Community Schools, a tiny rural district that runs just two brick-and-mortar schools serving fewer than 1,000 students in total.
Despite having no experience as a charter authorizer, Daleville took on an oversight role when Indiana Virtual School opened in 2011 and, over the years, accepted more than $3.2 million in state funding to monitor them and ensure their success.
INDIANA CHARTER SCHOOL BOARD REJECTS IPS CHARTER APPLICATIONS
What's next for Indy 'turnaround academies'?
From School Matters
It seemed like a victory for Indianapolis Public Schools when the Indiana Charter School Board voted Dec. 13 to reject charter applications for three Indianapolis "turnaround academy" schools.
But it's not over till it's over. The fate of the schools – Emmerich Manual High School, T.C. Howe School and Emma Donnan Middle School – is still in the hands of the State Board of Education. And the board has already turned a cold shoulder to the idea of returning the schools to IPS.
The State Board of Education will consider what happens next at its Jan. 15 meeting.

CORPORATE REFORM
The Failure of Betsy DeVos and 30 Years of Corporate Influence on Public Schools!
From Nancy Bailey
Frustrated by public schools? Look no further than the corporate education reformers and what they have done to public education.
Education Secretary DeVos and her corporate billionaire friends have been chipping away at the fabric of democratic public schools for over thirty years!
The problems we see in public schools today are largely a result of what they did to schools, the high-stakes testing and school closures, intentional defunding, ugly treatment of teachers, lack of support staff, segregated charter schools, vouchers that benefit the wealthy, Common Core State Standards, intrusive online data collection, and diminishing special education services.
Big business waged a battle on teachers and their schools years ago. The drive was to create a business model to profit from tax dollars. Now they want to blame teachers for their corporate-misguided blunders! It's part of their plan to make schools so unpleasant, parents will have no choice but to leave.
ACCOUNTABILITY FOR CHARTERS
Why is Accountability Too Much to Ask of Charter Schools?
From Gadfly on the Wall Blog
If you hire someone to buy your groceries, you'll probably ask for a receipt.
That's really all education advocates want from the charter school industry.
Charter schools are bankrolled with tax dollars but often run by private businesses.
Is it too much to ask these businesses to account for how they spend the money?
Apparently it is because Jeanne Allen has been sending her representatives all over the country to harass Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders and any other candidate with the audacity to demand charter schools be transparent and accountable.
Yesterday she wrote another blistering press release with the title:
"Democratic Candidates Asked to Listen to Voices of Struggling Parents Following Them Across Nation"
Allen is CEO and Founder of the Center for Education Reform – a billionaire backed lobbying firm for school privatization.
Not exactly a "struggling parent" or anyone who speaks for them. But she is a former member of the Heritage Foundation and current member of the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC).
She doesn't speak for parents. She speaks for the billionaires who pay her salary.
CONGRESS SAYS "NO" TO VOUCHERS, "YES" TO CHARTERS
Peter Greene: Congress to DeVos: "Sorry, Nope, No Way"
There is good news and bad news. Peter Greene thinks it's mostly good news. I'd say there is both.
Congress did not appropriate a penny for Betsy DeVos's top priority, her $5 billion request for vouchers (aka "education freedom scholarships"). Sorry, Betsy, nada. Even Republican Congressmen and Senators represent public school parents.
But Congress appropriated $440 million for Betsy's charter school slush fund, otherwise known as the federal Charter Schools Program. The CSP is a swamp of fraud, waste, and abuse, as the Network for Public Education demonstrated in its "Asleep at the Wheel" and "Still Asleep at the Wheel" reports, which showed that more than $1 billion in federal funds were wasted on charters that either never opened or closed not long after opening...
NO MORE ARTS?
Greater Clark County Schools discuss plan to replace art teachers with 'classified specialists'
From WDRB.com
Greater Clark County Schools said it can save more than $600,000 by making changes to its art programs.
District officials laid out a plan during a Tuesday board meeting to do away with certified art teachers by replacing them with "classified specialists." These specialists would not have to be licensed and would make roughly $17 an hour.
FORMER FORT WAYNE NORTH SIDE HIGH SCHOOL HOOPS COACH DIES
Goodbye to By: North Side Coach Hey dies at 91
Few better embodied what Indiana high school basketball was in its full flower, when there were hundreds of teams in hundreds of tiny dots on the map, and come March they all went into the same hopper. By was the quintessential product of that era, a Fort Wayne boy who played at Concordia and then came back to town as an assistant at Central and then head coach at his alma mater, and then went on to spend 31 decorated years at North Side.
By the time he gave up the whistle, he'd won 550 games across 34 seasons and took Moser and North to the state finals in 1965, where they lost to Billy Keller and Indianapolis Washington in the state championship game.
But somewhere in all of that, there was more.
INAPPROPRIATE EDUCATIONAL PRACTICE
Nancy Bailey: It's Wrong to Force Four- and Five-Year Olds to Read!
With No Child Left Behind, Race to the Top, and Common Core State Standards, some adults have been led to believe that four- and five-year-old children should read by the end of kindergarten. Preschoolers are pushed to be ready for formal reading instruction by the time they enter kindergarten.
This is a dangerous idea rooted in corporate school reform. Children who struggle to read might inaccurately believe they have a problem, or reading could become a chore they hate.
Pushing children to focus on reading means they miss listening and speaking skills, precursors to reading. These skills are developed through play, which leads to interest in words and a reason to want to read.
RELIGION IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Can public schools have Christmas trees? What's true — and not true — about religious expression in public schools.
While schools cannot initiate or sponsor religious activities — including prayer — nobody can stop students from praying to whatever or whomever they want, whenever they want as long, as they do it privately and don't try to force others to follow.
Religious groups can meet at public schools.
Religious music can be played in public schools when the overall focus of the activity is not religious.
Anybody who wants to say "Merry Christmas" is legally permitted to do so.
Christmas trees can be brought into a school and decorated because a court has ruled the Christmas tree is a secular object, much like the Jewish menorah. Lighting the candles in a menorah, however, would have religious significance and therefore wouldn't be allowed.
Religion can be taught as an academic subject, not as an effort to proselytize.

A LOSS FOR CHARTER SCHOOLS USA
Charter Schools USA loses charter bid, giving IPS a shot at reclaiming takeover schools
The charter board voted against allowing a shady, failing charter operation to help run three Indianapolis schools. Unfortunately, IPS probably doesn't have the resources it needs, or the will required, to keep the schools in operation without teaming up with other nefarious groups.
Indiana Charter School Board denied charters Friday for three Indianapolis turnaround schools — a stunning move that could spell the end to the Florida-based Charter Schools USA's operations in Indianapolis.
As a result, the three Indianapolis schools — Howe High School, Manual High School, and Emma Donnan Middle School — face the prospect of another rocky transition to new management, or even possible closure.
But the board's 4-3 votes against the charters, which elicited gasps from the audience, marked a major victory for Indianapolis Public Schools, which could win back the three schools that have been under state takeover since 2011.
NORTH CAROLINA HAS FAILED ITS CHILDREN
North Carolina: Leandro Report Sets a New Direction for the State's Schools; Will the Politicians Listen?
A report on a 25-year-old court case in North Carolina was released yesterday. The long-anticipated report rebukes the past decade of education policy in the state, led and directed by the Republican majority in the state's General Assembly. The powers that be don't like to spend money on education.
...The report confirms what North Carolinians have been saying for years: The state has consistently failed to give every child in this state access to the education they deserve.
SCHOOL "CHOICE" WON'T GIVE UP
A new Indianapolis education PAC wants to bypass controversy. That could be hard.
The fact that charters drain money away from public schools is a fact that cannot be wished away by pretending it's not happening.
Jasmin Shaheed-Young has a vision for a political organization that focuses on education — while avoiding deeply contested, emotionally fraught debates over school choice.
Shaheed-Young says she wants the new political action committee she founded, known as RISE Indy, to be driven by community priorities and focus on unifying issues, such as improving student achievement, rather than the debate between charter and traditional public schools.
"There's so much rhetoric around what is the school model? Who is funding what? But kids are continuing to fail," said Shaheed-Young, a former vice president for a real estate development firm and Democratic fundraiser. "How do we approach looking at this as a quality of life issue — so everyone feels like they need to do something and there's not this apathy?"
Although its agenda is not yet fleshed out, Shaheed-Young's fledgling political group is poised to play a significant role in politics because of its close ties to influential school choice advocates. But those same connections mean that it will be hard for the group to avoid the volatile politics that have come to define Indianapolis Public Schools board elections.
EXPLOITATION BY CHARTERS
Charter Schools Exploit Children of Color
How do charter schools disadvantage the students enrolled there?
Like other vulture capitalist enterprises, they exploit the students they purport to serve by convincing people of color to accept fewer services than they already get at authentic public schools.
Authentic public schools invariably are run by school directors elected from the community who have to make all possible decisions in public and present their records for review.
Charter schools are permitted to run without elected school boards. Decisions are often made by appointed bureaucrats behind closed doors. They are not required to hold public meetings or present school documents as public records. Parents have no way of having their voices heard except that they can take it or leave it.
Authentic public schools have to use all their funding for the benefit of the students.
Charter schools can cut student services and pocket the savings. This is true regardless of whether they are designated for-profit or non-profit.
LACK OF FEDERAL ACCOUNTABILITY FOR CHARTERS
Report: Federal government wasted millions of dollars on charter schools that never opened
The new report found:
The disbursement of more than $1 billion during the program's first decade — from 1995 to 2005 — was never monitored, and there is no complete public record of which schools received the funds because the Education Department never required states to report where the money went. During that period, California received $191 million, Florida $158.4 million and Michigan $64.6 million.
The overall rate of failed charter projects from 2006 to 2014 was 37 percent, with some states posting a much higher failure rate. In Iowa, for example, 11 charter schools received grants and 10 failed after receiving a total of $3.66 million. The failure rate exceeded 50 percent in a number of states, including Georgia, Delaware, Hawaii, Maryland and Virginia. In California, 37 percent failed to open or stay open, after winning nearly $103 million in CSP funding.
Although Congress forbids for-profit operators from directly receiving CSP grants, some of them still were able to benefit. The report says 357 schools in the database were run by for-profit chains, for a total cost of $125 million in federal CSP start-up costs. Most of that money was spent in Michigan and in Florida.
VOUCHERS FAIL SO OHIO EXPANDS VOUCHERS
Ohio Expands Its Failed Voucher Program, and Most School Districts Will Lose Funding
A study of the Ohio voucher program showed that it failed to improve student achievement. The decision by the state to expand the program shows that the purpose of vouchers were never really to help children. Instead, vouchers are simply a way to divert public funds to religious schools.
Three years ago, the pro-charter, pro-voucher Thomas B. Fordham Institute published a study of Ohio's voucher program. The study, conducted by David Figlio and Krzysztof Karbownik of Northwestern University is called "Evaluation of Ohio's EdChoice Scholarship Program: Selection, Competition, and Performance Effects."
The study concluded that the voucher program was failing to improve student achievement.

MAYOR PETE ON EDUCATION
Buttigieg's Education Plan Released
Pete Buttigieg releases $1 trillion-plus plan for early-childhood and K-12 education
First a comment from Facebook about this article from Cathy Fuentes-Rohwer of ICPE...
I, along with several public school teachers, administrators, & supporters, met with Mayor Pete's husband on Friday to discuss public education just before this came out. First of all, I am glad that Democrats are (finally) moving in the right direction when it comes to education policy--something that was never discussed when this attack began. I am glad for much of Buttigieg's platform here (like early childhood). BUT (yes, there's a but):
1) It's easy to say you will fund things but without a plan (and taxing the uber-wealthy billionaires who keep meddling in public education--like Reed Hastings, privatizer/enemy of public ed who held a big fundraiser in July for Pete's campaign, would be reassuring to me. I worry about the company he keeps. )
2) He is not joining the national NAACP, nor Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders, with a moratorium on federal funding of charter schools. This is hugely problematic. You cannot say you are helping fund equity all the while funding charter schools (which are NOT public schools--they are PRIVATELY run and not accountable to the public thru a publicly elected board!) which take away engaged families and funding from public schools. You cannot support a competition for resources while saying you care about equity.
3) Saying you will ban "for profit" charter schools shows a lack of understanding on how charter schools profit off of our most vulnerable children and the tax dollars siphoned away from public schools.
"The more than $1 trillion in Buttigieg's plan would be spent over 10 years and would come from "greater tax enforcement" on the wealthy and corporations, according to a Buttigieg campaign spokesperson, who spoke on the condition of anonymity. He would not impose a new tax on the super-rich, said the spokesperson, who did not detail how much money the mayor believes he can realize from uncollected taxes."
Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg is unveiling a broad new education plan on Saturday that pledges to spend $700 billion over a decade to create a high-quality child care and preschool system that he said would reach all children from birth to age 5 and create 1 million jobs.
The 37-year-old mayor of South Bend, Ind., also promised to spend $425 billion to strengthen America's K-12 public schools, targeting federal investments and policy to help historically marginalized students. He would boost funding for schools in high-poverty areas as well as for students with disabilities, and promote voluntary school integration. And he said he would ensure that all charter schools — which are publicly funded but privately operated — undergo the same accountability measures as schools in publicly funded districts.
With Buttigieg rising in some polls in the early state races for the Democratic Party's presidential nomination, new scrutiny is being given to his proposals and his efforts to win over African American voters, who constitute a key part of the party's base but who have not largely warmed to his campaign.
His newly released education plan shows that Buttigieg, like the other Democratic candidates, would move the country's federal education policy away from that of the Trump administration. Education Secretary Betsy DeVos has put her focus not on the traditional public school districts that enroll the vast majority of American schoolchildren, but on expanding alternatives to them, such as charter schools and programs that use federal funding for private and religious school tuition.
Mayor Pete on Education in South Bend
The following two articles go together. In the first, Diane Ravitch shared a blog post from Fred Klonsky in which he takes Democratic Presidential Candidate Pete Buttigieg to task for being slow to discover that South Bend Schools are segregated.
In the second article below, Diane Ravitch issues an apology to Buttigieg on the basis of a response by some South Bend readers who explain in more detail how the city schools have been working to keep their schools integrated. Be sure to read both.
Fred Klonsky: Pete Buttigieg Discovers Segregated Schools in His Hometown
Fred Klonsky writes with amazement that Mayor Pete Buttigieg just realized that there are segregated schools in his hometown of South Bend.
He acknowledges that he was slow to come to this realization.
CORRECTION: An Apology to Pete Buttigieg and the Racially Integrated Public Schools of South Bend, Indiana
Several readers of this blog who live in South Bend, Indiana, wrote to say that Fred Klonsky is wrong about Pete Buttigieg and the status of racial integration in the public schools of South Bend.
One native of South Bend wrote as follows.
Fred Klonsky's article is simplistic and wildly inaccurate and Mr. Buttigieg's statement about "school districts" is absolutely correct.
First, South Bend Community School Corporation is under a desegregation consent decree, and for many years, almost all of its schools have had black student enrollments within plus-or-minus 15 percentage points of the district-wide average. That is a common, court-accepted standard for a racially integrated school.
Second, South Bend is a diverse school district, with overall enrollment around 35% black, 10-15% Hispanic and about 50% non-Hispanic white. In contrast, suburban Penn Harris Madison school district is more than 90% non-Hispanic white. So, that is the context of Mayor Pete's context.
ALEC LOSES THIS ONE IN COURT
Justin Parmenter: NC Software Giant Pays to Send State Legislators to ALEC Meetings
NBCT high school teacher and blogger Justin Parmenter discovered a shocking fact: a company in the state called SAS pays to send state legislators to the annual conference of the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), a far-right anti-public school organization that writes model legislation. SAS sells software to districts and states to evaluate teacher effectiveness. The SAS software is very controversial because it's algorithms are secret and proprietary. Teachers in Houston sued and won a court judgement against SAS, when the judge ruled that its secret processes were arbitrary and denied due process to teachers, who had no way to know how they were judged or if the calculations were accurate.
INDIANA TEACHERS -- STILL NO RAISE
Pay raise touted for educators: But no action to be taken in 2020 session, Holcomb says
Note...there are no teachers on the seven member teacher pay commission. There are education professionals on the non-voting committee which advises the panel.
Gov. Eric Holcomb said Wednesday he wants Indiana teachers to have salaries in the top three in the Midwest. But not any time soon.
"It's dollars and cents. I want to adequately and fairly compensate our teachers but I also want to steal some teachers from other states," he said during an annual Legislative Conference hosted by Bingham Greenebaum Doll.
He said a teacher pay commission that is currently working on recommendations could have a report on how to fill the gap in the spring – after legislators have ended their session. Discussion could begin then for crafting the next two-year budget in 2021.
This is despite thousands of teachers coming to the Statehouse several weeks ago to fight for a number of initiatives.
Did the Red for Ed rally affect the governor's upcoming agenda?
From Fort Wayne's NBC
As for education, and that massive Red for Ed rally last month that featured about 14,000 teachers and supporters on the lawn of the statehouse?
"What does that say to you, that so many that gathered supported that one cause? Well it underscores what we know and that is education is a priority at every level," Holcomb says.
The son of a public school teacher, Holcomb says he doesn't want teachers to leave schools for jobs in the private sector, even though he says the state already spends more than half of its total revenue on education -- which is why he says he set up the teacher pay commission to study the issue and make recommendations.
"I understand about the salaries, but what about issues that the legislature has imposed like additional hours for continuing education? Or tying student performance to how much money is allocated for schools or teachers?Those are some burdens as teachers would call it. I think they're tired of lip service and they want to see some action," Corinne Rose says.
"They're going to see some action. They're going to see some action, and you'll hear some recommendations from me incorporated into my agenda that I'll release next week. They've not only been heard, they'll be acted on," Holcomb replies.
SHADES OF TONY BENNETT
IPS finds a powerful charter ally in its 11th hour bid to win back takeover schools
Will IPS schools, getting out of the bad deal with the shady Charters USA, now team up with Christel House- the bunch that Tony Bennett changed the grades for?
Indianapolis Public Schools has a powerful new ally in its last-minute campaign to win back control of three schools taken over by the state — and prevent a Florida-based charter manager from running the schools indefinitely.
Christel House Academy, a politically influential Indianapolis charter network, wants to relocate its southside school to Manual High School if oversight of that campus is returned to the district, IPS and Christel House officials told Chalkbeat Tuesday. Christel House would take over the campus through an innovation partnership, allowing the network to manage the school while the district monitors performance and gets credit for its enrollment and academic results.
DEFENDING DISCRIMINATION
Trump Administration Defends Christian School That Discriminates Against LGBT Students and Teachers
Politico Morning Education reports that the Trump administration has joined a court case on the side of a Christian school in Maryland that was removed from the state's voucher program because it discriminates against LGBT students and teachers.
This is not surprising. The DeVos family has funded anti-gay organizations and state referenda for many years. The Trump administration takes the view that if religious organizations discriminate, that is no one's business, even though they are receiving public funds.

WHO'S RESPONSIBLE?
Teachers Are Not Responsible for Student Growth or Achievement
While teachers are the most important in-school variable for student success in school, a variety of out-of-school factors can have a much greater impact on student achievement. Legislators should look at their role in those out of school factors.
It doesn't make that much difference whether you look at growth or achievement. If you're holding teachers accountable for either, you're expecting us to be able to do things beyond our powers as mere mortal human beings.
I hate to break it to you, but teachers are not magical.
We cannot MAKE things happen in student brains.
Nothing we say or do can cause a specific reaction inside a human mind.
That's just not how learning and teaching works.
We can INFLUENCE learning.
We can try to create some kind of optimum condition that is most likely to spark learning.
But we cannot make it happen like turning on a switch or lighting a candle.
TRADING "FAILING" PUBLIC SCHOOLS FOR "FAILING" CHARTER SCHOOLS
Charter Schools USA finds support for charter applications as critics stay silent at public hearing
What IPS has done in the past (pairing up with charters/innovation) has come around to haunt them, and now these parents trust IPS even less than they trust a failing charter company. Very sad.
Howe, Manual, and Emma Donnan Middle School are expected to exit state takeover at the end of this school year. With that transition about six months away, the futures of the schools are still in limbo.
Monday's hearing focused on whether the state charter board should grant approval for the schools to continue under the management of a group tied to Charter Schools USA, which would essentially cement their separation from Indianapolis Public Schools. The state charter board is expected to vote on the matter at a December 13 meeting.
NEW ORLEANS: THE COMPLETE CHARTER DISTRICT
New Orleans: Parents and Students at Two Low-Performing Charter Schools Fight to Keep Them Open
The subtext of this is that there a few charters that began early on that were controlled by black former OPSB teachers and administrators that were islands of local control (MLK in particular) in a white-dominated, outsider controlled charter system. These schools have struggled in part because they would not cherry-pick and force out challenging students (Treme in particular) and have always been resented by the NSNO (New Schools for New Orleans) people. They have also moved toward unionizing lately.
But it is a good example of how some charters build their own constituencies, even if they are failing, because they are perceived as more locally and black controlled. I imagine the school board will give them a pass just to avoid the conflict.

MORE ON INDIANA'S #RED FOR ED RALLY
Teachers' rally exceeds expectations
Vicky Lomont, a former FWCS teacher who is now an EACS instructor, sat not far from Thiele. Lomont said she is frustrated with lawmakers, who for years have supported voucher systems while neglecting traditional public schools.
"I would like to see my representative listen to me, rather than his party," Lomont said.
At the rally, Kathleen Cagle, a math teacher at New Tech Academy at Wayne High School, said testing has become an omnipresent force in schools.
"Every year, we're asked to do more and more and more, and none of it is to help the students," she said.
NACS teacher Kristen Bowland arrived at the Capitol building around 8:30 a.m. Nov. 19.
"We felt like we were part of history," she said. "It's worth the fight. I'm doing it for our kids."
Red for Ed rallying cry: Kids deserve more
The last elected Indiana Superintendent of Public Instruction reminds us that we need to support our public schools through the ballot box. Every time you vote for the governor, a state representative, or a state senator you're voting on school issues. Support public education!
From Indiana Superintendent of Public Instruction, Jennifer McCormick in the Fort Wayne Journal Gazette
Kids deserve educators who take a stand against Indiana's disconnected education policy and the issue of inadequate funding. While many, including myself, have been champions for public education for decades, it took a red wave crashing into the Statehouse to finally catch the attention of the lawmakers inside. Frustrations regarding funding inequities, compensation shortfalls and policies void of practitioner input were vocalized by constituents from all 92 counties.

Chivas USA Vs. Seattle Sounders: Three Questions
Sounds like Seattle is having a tough week.
By Alicia Rodriguez May 31, 2013, 2:22pm PDT
Share All sharing options for: Chivas USA Vs. Seattle Sounders: Three Questions
The Sounders are down...can Chivas actually get a result?
Steven Bisig-US PRESSWIRE
Three Questions is back! This week, Chivas USA are playing the Seattle Sounders at home, and in order to get us ready for the game, I spoke with Dave Clark of SB Nation blog Sounder At Heart to discuss this week's opponent. The Sounders have endured a tough week, so if you hear some pain coming through in the answers, let me tell you, spirits are low on both sides heading into this match, for very different reasons. Still, the game will probably boost one fanbase. Big thanks to Dave for taking the time to answer my questions!
1. The Sounders struggled coming out of the gate, and have been one of the most inconsistent teams this season. They struggled with injuries early in the season, but even with most of the team back and available, the Sounders appear to be missing a player or two who could get the team on a regular run. Am I reading this right? And is there somebody on the roster who can indeed get the group going for a sustained period?
Seattle has struggled through injuries and call-ups. The recent six match unbeaten run they still dealt with those things, but were both fortunate and clicking. Part of that was the quality of Servando Carrasco filling in for Osvaldo Alonso. Lamar Neagle filled in well (more on him later). They played a kind of asymmetric midfield that improved the defense and didn't hurt the offense. Obafemi Martins is now starting. He's not the captain, but he's the Sounders' attempt at a Robbie Keane type. He's got to do it as a finishing-only forward. But he's been through things. He was on a crappy Birmingham City team that rallied to win the League Cup in the same season they were relegated.
Seattle needs to do kind of the opposite and get on a run by any means necessary. They will be without Eddie Johnson, Brad Evans, Shalrie Joseph and Steve Zakuani this weekend. Depth will continue to be tested. Rather than lay a St. Petersburg-sized egg they need to do like they did against Dallas and San Jose: eight goals for and only two against. This is a team capable of being great. They looked it for a bit. They need to act like it again.
2. This is the first year in some time when Seattle won't have to deal with fixture congestion through the latter two-thirds of the season. Although I can imagine there is disappointment regarding the U.S. Open Cup and Champions League, is this a blessing in disguise for a team hoping to really make a run at MLS Cup?
One can only hope. Otherwise it is going to suck even worse. Last year was a good year, but there were no trophies. A mediocre year with no trophies will be even harder to take. But this is the only spin that can be offered. Sigi's offering it. Sounder at Heart commenters are clinging to it. It probably has no relationship with reality. It just sucks to be out of the running for two non-MLS trophies already. There's no way to fix that. There's two major trophies left. Seattle is nearly out of the Supporters' Shield already. Focus is a funny thing, but it isn't the answer to every failure by a team.
3. With Eddie Johnson currently away from the team with the USMNT, which player or players are filling the void in the attack?
The forwards will be Obafemi Martins and Lamar Neagle. It means more of a speed based attack and a reduction of effectiveness on crosses and set-plays, but those two can still finish. Oba's goals so far are mainly poached, but he's a pretty poacher if that makes sense. Neagle earned his starts and has burst out with strong performances and finishing back during that three match winning streak that feels like months ago. This is probably the best year to lose a player of EJ's quality as Neagle is at the least a quality third forward.
4. Prediction for this match?
It's either going to be a blow out one way or the other. The Goats have that whole rally-together-after-the-coach-got-fired thing and the Sounders have that whole "crap we've only got one chance left" thing. It's a cowardly answer, but the confidence disappeared this week.
You can find my answers to Dave's questions here.
That was a game: Chivas USA lose 2-0 to Seattle Sounders
Not again: Seattle Sounders 2, Chivas USA 0

Top Ten Most Points Allowed by NFL Defenses in 2014
By: Mitch
Created: 4/14/15
In contrast to yesterday's top ten, in which we looked at some of the NFL's most stalwart defenses, today we're going to break down a few that aren't quite so, um, good at their collective job. Below, you'll see a list of the NFL defenses that allowed the most points to be scored by opposing offenses during the 2014 regular season.
1. The Oakland Raiders, despite the addition of Khalil Mack, allowed a league-high 452 points to be scored last season while their defense was on the field.
2. The Chicago Bears, who are normally known for their defensive prowess, let opposing teams score a pathetic (sorry, I call it like I see it) 442 points last year.
3. The Washington Redskins take today's No. 3 spot, allowing 438 points to be put on the board in 2014.
(3*) 4. When the Tennessee Titans' D was on the field last season, opposing teams were able to put-up 438 points.
5. The New Orleans Saints struggled through 2014, allowing an uncharacteristic 424 points to be scored on them.
6. The Atlanta Falcons allowed opposing offenses to put 417 points on the scoreboard last year.
7. The Jacksonville Jaguars hold the No. 7 spot on today's list, with 412 points allowed in 2014.
8. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who have the No. 1 overall pick in the 2015 draft, allowed 410 points to be scored on them last season.
9. The New York Jets, somewhat unsurprisingly appearing today, allowed 401 points.
10. The Philadelphia Eagles' D allowed opposing teams to score 400 points over the course of last year.
(10*) 11. The New York Giants also allowed 400 points to be put on the board against them in 2014.

On July 1, 2008 I typed into Google "How Do I start A Blog" and I started my first website called "Miami Mitch's Place" where i shared my college football Picks and predictions as well as opinion. By the Fall I had heard from many that the title made it sound like the site was about Miami so I changed it to "College Football Place" (cfbplace.com), After the 2008 college football season I change focus and launched CBBplace.com, it wasn't long after that when I realized I just wanted one place to add all sports, and that's when Sports Chat Place was born.

The bottom line though is that the clinic is a go for this weekend with a total of 14 rides (and I have payment in hand so I am not letting last-minute cancellers rain on my parade, sorry not sorry). Pediatric Gastroenterology will not be the only specialty supplying in-property virtual health.
Second, it really is costly: it expenses me about $200 in fuel alone to haul to the closest place with clinics, and then I still have to pay for hotel, eating out, boarding, and the clinic itself. For just after-hours coverage, contact our primary quantity, 219-937-3300 and recognize your purpose for calling as dental or medical/health clinic related. The clinic is headed by Dr. Andrew Pineda and offers hair transplant procedures utilizing the patient's own hair.

The range of skin, hair, and body care services assure that your 1 step into Oliva Clinic is the initial and final step to getting attractive constantly. A specialist clinic delivers advanced diagnostic or treatment services for precise ailments or parts of the body. Led by a team of accredited, skilled, and meticulously trained cosmetic dermatologists and trichologists, Oliva Clinic brings the aesthetics of beauty and the knowledge of medical science as a single unified service under one roof.
Make sure as effectively that the clinic itself has the needed permit and license to operate to assure you of a protected and a effective treatment. I noticed it ideal around the similar time that I lost my job, and thus my health insurance coverage. These clinics typically last 3 hours, but I have people today who like to do an hour at a time and we meet as soon as a week. I am genuinely hoping that the clinic goes properly – if it does then Sandra has agreed to come back for much more clinics just about every two-three months. The health care method in the United States is horribly, possibly irretrievably, broken.

POLITICAL HISTORY OF CLEARFIELD COUNTY.
THE political history of Clearfield county is singular in this respect : While the first third of the century passed without the county assuming a position of any importance in the politics of the State, in the latter part of the century she has exercised a commanding influence in at least one of the great political parties of the State.
The first election that tradition gives us was held in the year 1804, when Thomas Jefferson was elected president of the United States. The officers of that election were John Bloom, Matthew Ogden and one other whose name has been lost. The issue in the election appeared to be confined to the prejudice that then existed between the tory element and the patriots of the Revolution. A riot occurred at the poll, there being but one election district in the county at the time. As the story of the election was told by one of the officers, the participants in the riot on the one side were Bloom and Ogden, assisted by their compatriots. The leaders on the other side were Caleb Bailey, Benjamin Hartshorn and others.
From that time down to 1832, there appeared to be no party division or party organization. Candidates for office were compelled to stand on their own merits, and if elected, it was done without the aid of party organization.
In the year 1832, William L. Moore, having become proprietor of the newspaper, attempted to effect the organization of the Democratic party, which was numerically in the ascendency in the county, but with indifferent success, and without succeeding in obtaining any recognition from the mass of the people. In 1834 an open rupture between the contending factions, one led by Moore and the other by Thomas Hemphill, took place, creating a division among the masses of the party which has never been entirely healed to the present time, but manifests itself whenever local issues of any importance arise. The old custom of springing independent candidates, after attempts at party nominations, was regularly followed.
In the year 1840 the first convention of regularly elected delegates of the Democratic party was held in Clearfield town, at which George R. Barrett was nominated for the Legislature. Immediately succeeding that nomination a mass-meeting was called, at which the late Governor William Bigler presided, and James H. Lafferty was put in nomination by that meeting for the same office. Lafferty was at the time the sitting member from this legislative district. The malcontents succeeded in obtaining recognition from the district convention which was composed of delegates from Clearfield, Clinton and Lycoming counties. After receiving the nomination in the district convention
HISTORY OF CLEARFIELD COUNTY.
his election was easily accomplished, but before the time of the meeting of the Legislature arrived, there developed the fact that he had engaged in fraudulent and corrupt practices while in the Legislature the year before, one of which was receiving certain town lots in Lock Haven as a compensation for his vote upon certain measures. Political excitement at the time ran high. Lafferty took fright and fled the State, and as a consequence, the district had no representation in the Legislature that year.
The disastrous ending of the Lafferty bolt had such an effect upon the minds of the members of the Democratic party as to make a more perfect party organization not only feasible but desirous upon the part of all factions. The succeeding year Barrett, Lafferty�s opponent of the preceding year, was nominated and elected, and the regular party nominations were elected by the people until 1844 Up to this time there existed no other party organization in the county. Alexander Irvin, that year, ran as a Whig, but without party nomination, for the office of prothonotary, and was elected over Constance C. Hemphill. In 1842, Dr. Henry Loraine, a practicing physician of the town of Clearfield, received the instructions of Clearfield county for Congress. The convention of the district was held at Clearfield, where he was nominated by the convention of the district. The Democratic party had a fair working majority in the district at the time, but on account of the personal unpopularity of the candidate he was defeated at the polls.
The political history of the county was uneventful from that time until 1848, when political feeling was again aroused to a high pitch of excitement in the dominant party by the candidature of William Bigler for the office of governor. All factional differences gave way before his personal popularity, and the general desire on the part of the people that Clearfield county should furnish an executive to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. He was defeated, however, for the nomination.
In the year 1847 Alexander Irvin succeeded in effecting a partial organization of the Whig party and received the nomination of that party for Congress, he being the first member of the House of Congress ever elected from Clearfield county. Notwithstanding it was the year of the presidential election, his personal popularity was so great that he succeeded in evading the Democratic party sufficiently to overcome the existing majority.
As is usual after such revolutions in party politics, the waters became placid again, and nothing of note or event occurred to disturb the harmony of party relations until 1851, when William Bigler became again a candidate for governor, the effect of which was to break down party lines in the enthusiasm of the people in his support. He was placed in nomination by the State convention and elected.
The next year a contest arose over the nomination for the office of sheriff. Isaac L. Barrett, brother of Judge George R. Barrett, became a candidate for
the place. When the convention assembled it was found that delegates enough had been instructed for him to nominate on the first ballot. This apparently aroused again the old factional fight of the Lafferty campaign of twelve years before. The Whigs placed in nomination William Powell, of the borough of Clearfiele, who was supported by the Lafferty Democrats. This, perhaps, was the most bitter, acrimonious contest ever known in the politics of the county, it being the year of a presidential election. The charge of treason to the organization was made freely on the one side. The bolters from the nomination defended themselves on the ground that it was the result of bossism and personal dictation.
Powell at that time was the business partner of Governor Bigler, who had evinced great popularity the year before. He was also supported by William A. Wallace, then a young lawyer just entering politics. The result was in the defeat of Barrett and the election of Powell. From this time nothing occurred to disturb the political harmony of the county until 1854, when the advent of Know-Nothingism caused the complete disintegration of the Whig party, and drew largely from the Democratic organization. Governor Bigler having been nominated again by the State convention, it was thought by party managers that he would have power to preserve the integrity of the party organization and hold the members to their allegiance; but even his popularity failed to a certain extent, and he received less than half the majority of the votes that had been given three years before.
The county convention this year instructed their congressional delegates to support George R. Barrett for Congress. The conference met in Brookville, Jefferson county. There were twenty-four delegates. Barrett received twelve votes for fifty-seven ballots, when finally David Barkely, of Jefferson county, was placed in nomination ; he having also received secretly the nomination of the Know Nothings, he was elected without difficulty.
The Know-Nothing party, like all organizations of the kind, exhibited its greatest strength at the first election held after its organization became complete, and, although it had in that campaign a leader of recognized ability and eloquence in the person of H. Bucher Swoope, who had but recently become .a resident of the county, yet the Democratic party resumed its old majority in the succeeding year. During and pending the Know-Nothing contest, the opposition party to the Democratic party, for the first time, had the benefit of a newspaper organ, edited by the brilliant but erratic H. Bucher Swoope.
This year George R. Barrett, having been elected judge of a district in the eastern part of the State, withdrew from politics, which left one of the contending factions without a leader in whom they had confidence, and practically solidified the Democratic party under the leadership of Governor Bigler. The succeeding year, 1856, was perhaps the most memorable one in the history of the political parties in Clearfield county up to that time. Mr. Buchanan then
being the presidential candidate of the united Democrat party, left nothing to disturb the serenity of its councils.
Mr. Swoope had disposed of the Raftsman�s Journal to S. B. Row, who, in its columns, advocated the election of John C. Fremont, and commenced the labor of building up the Republican organization in the county. Swoope espoused the cause of Millard Fillmore, and rallied to his support the fragments of the old Know-Nothing party organization that still remained in
existence. In the eager and exciting contest that followed in the early part of that campaign, the Democratic party appeared to be lost sight of by them. So fierce did it become that personal encounters between leaders frequently occurred. However, early in the campaign the State organizations of the two contending factions succeeded in concentrating upon one State ticket, the effect of which was to renew the fight between the united factions of the opposition and the Democratic party. In this same year a memorable joint discussion of the political issues was held at Cherry Tree, in Indiana county, the meeting being composed of voters of Clearfield, Indiana and Cambria counties. George R. Barrett and William A. Wallace represented the Democratic party, and General Harry White, of Indiana, and the late Cyrus Jeffries, of Clearfield county, representing the other side.
The year 1857 was noted for a bolt on the part of Clearfield county Democrats from the district nomination for the Legislature. The nominee of the convention was Judge Wilcox, the counties of Elk and McKean overruling the county of Clearfield. The Democrats of Clearfield rebelled at this, and put in nomination James T. Leonard. The contest that followed was on account of the fact that the people of Clearfield county had recently had introduced, by lumbermen from Maine, the system of floating loose logs in the river and its tributaries to Lock Haven and Williamsport for manufacture into lumber. Prior to that time the only manner of transporting lumber to markets had been by rafts. Indictments had been preferred against these innovators, charging them with committing a nuisance, on the ground that the river, being a public highway, these logs by lodging on rocks and islands, so obstructed the channel as to make the passage dangerous. Failing under the rulings of the court to maintain their position, they demanded legislation on the subject, and upon this issue supported James T. Leonard as an independent candidate. The result, however, was the election of Wilcox, Leonard carrying Clearfield county by a small majority.
While the succeeding years of 1858-9 were marked in the county by great political excitement, growing out of the Kansas and Nebraska trouble, and the rupture between Stephen A. Douglas and James Buchanan, yet in local affairs there were no events of any practical importance. While it was evident that the supporters of Mr. Douglass were largely in the ascendency, yet neither faction became organized as against the other until the year 1860. In this year
the Democratic party assumed the position in this county that the opposition party occupied in 1856. Immediately after the rupture at the Charleston convention, meetings were held throughout the county, and members of the party arranged themselves on their respective sides. Thei regular organization was controlled by the Breckenridge Democrats. The chairman of their county committee was D. F. Etzweiler. The chairman of the Douglas wing of the party was Walter Barrett. The Breckenridge organization was sustained and supported by Governor William Bigler and William A. Wallace. The Douglas organization was actively sustained by L. Jackson Krans, with the passive but effective support of Judge George R. Barrett.
While it could not but be evident to the party leaders on both sides that defeat was inevitable, yet the whole campaign appeared to be waged with the object of securing control of the regular party organization, which contest culminated at the regular annual meeting held in September following. The Douglas men had imported Richard Baux, of PhiIadelphia, who was an elector at large, to represent them. Under the existing party rules, the chairman of the annual meeting appointed the chairman of the county committee. The result of the contest was that James T. Leonard, a Douglas Democratic elector, was made president of the meeting, and L. Jackson Krans was appointed chairman of the county committee. Perhaps never in the history of Clearfield county was there exhibited a deeper feeling than in this bitter contest. Mr. Baux was speaking from the steps of Judge Leonard�s residence on Second street, and Governor Bigler was at the same time addressing an audience from his own residence on the same street.
The Republican party had, by this time, so far progressed in its organization as to absorb nearly all of the old American or Fillmore party, with the exception of Mr. Swoope, its leader, and a few devoted followers, who still supported the Bell and Everett American ticket.
The Douglas Democracy obtained the instructions of the regular party organization of the county for James T. Leonard for Congress. The Republicans instructed for General John Patton. The result in the respective district conventions was the defeat of Leonard, and the nomination of James K. Kerr, of Venango county. The Republicans, more fortunate, however, secured the nomination of General Patton. The district, at that time, was known as the � Wild Cat� district, extending from the West Branch of the river to Lake Erie. Generally it had been a Democratic district, although during the previous term in Congress it was represented by Chapin Hall, a Republican, through the dissensions in the Democratic party. General Patton was elected through the same cause, carrying Clearfield county by a majority of sixty.
In the year 1861 there appeared to be, on account of the war, a disintegration of parties, followed by an active, complete, and thorough organization in the year 1862. This year was marked by the advent into politics of William
A. Wallace, who afterward became a prominent central figure in Pennsylvania politics, and who was elected to the State Senate from the district composed of Clearfield, Cambria and Blair counties, over Lewis W. Hall, then the sitting member. Excepting the rancorous feeling engendered by the war, which was in progress at this time, nothing occurred out of the usual course of partisan politics.
In 1864, the anti-war feeling, fear and distrust that pervaded the people, engendered partly by the bitter antagonisms brought about by the war, and the discussions of its causes, in part induced by a rigid enforcement of the draft, and in a measure, by demagogical appeals to the feelings and passions of the people on both sides, Clearfield county achieved an unenviable position and reputation during the war. This excitement culminated in an immense mass-meeting assembling in the rear of the court-house on the 13th of August, to protest against the course of Mr. Lincoln�s administration in the conduct of
the war.
In the same year, 1864, Governor William Bigler was pressed by Clearfield county for the nomination for Congress, which he obtained from the district convention. Although defeated at the general election, he received the largest majority that had ever been given to a candidate in Clearfield county before, notwithstanding it was the year of a presidential election in which party organizations were strictly maintained and party lines closely drawn. From this time, the war having closed, people appeared to be too much engrossed in adjusting themselves and their business to feel much interest in politics, notwithstanding it was the period in which Andrew Johnson, then president of the United States, was waging his conflict with Congress. While people watched it with great interest and made it the uppermost subject of discussion at their usual evening resorts, yet nothing of interest occurred to affect local politics. The harmony of party relations appeared to be preserved on both sides.
In the year 1868, Judge Linn, then president judge of the judicial district in which Clearfield county was included, having resigned his commission, and Joseph B. McEnally appointed, ad interim, it became necessary to elect a judge to fill the vacancy. The people, without distinction of party, were desirous of electing a Clearfield county man. Clinton county presented the name of Charles A. Mayer; Centre county that of John H. Orvis, and Clearfield county the name of George R. Barrett, who was then president judge of the Twenty-second judicial district, but who had always maintained a domicile in Clearfield county. A long and protracted contest followed, the convention sitting in every county of the district, and finally resulted in the withdrawal of the Clearfield county delegates from the convention. A request was presented to Judge Barrett, signed by nearly a thousand Democrats, asking him to be an independent candidate. The Republican party at a mass meeting held in
Clearfield, also endorsed him as their candidate. After holding the matter some days under advisement, he declined to allow the use of his name, for the reason that it would lead him into a contest not befitting his present position. The result was the nomination by Centre and Clinton counties of Charles A. Mayer, who was subsequently elected over Joseph B. McEnally, the nominee of the Republican district convention, and the appointee of Governor Geary.
In the year 1869 the new methods throughout the State, and the nation as well, being bred, perhaps, by the disorders arising from the reconstruction of the Southern States, and known throughout the country as practical politics, appeared to be receiving attention, close study, and aptitude in practice by those in official power, which resulted in the formation at this time of what has been known in local politics as the �Court-house Ring.� Mythical and intangible in its nature, invisible to the eye, but always felt in practical effect. It soon became apparent to all aspirants for political and local honors, that the pilgrimage to Clearfield borough, the conciliation of certain influences, and the approval of certain parties were a condition precedent to a realization of their hopes. At this time the people felt that the public offices were filled by men of fair character and competency, yet from year to year they were becoming less potent in the selection of their public servants. The absence of scandal, charges or suspicion of those in office, turned the attention of the people to the methods by which the officials were selected. Complaints and ominous threats were heard loud and deep, and finally culminated in an explosion in 1873. In that year feeling ran high in the Democratic primaries. James Savage and W. R. McPherson were candidates for sheriff; Dr. T. J. Boyer and Dr. J. W. Potter were candidates for the Legislature; W. W. Worrell and David W. Wise were candidates for treasurer; Frank Fielding and Aaron G. Kramer were candidates for district attorney. McPherson was nominated for sheriff; Boyer for the Legislature, Worrell for treasurer, and Fielding for district attorney. The announcement of this ticket met with open defiance, and charges were made that some of the nominees had been counted in by manipulators at the primaries. John M. Cumming, of New Washington, the friend and neighbor of Savage, whom he believed to have been wrongfully deprived of his nomination, appeared to be the prominent leader of the revolt. Protests and calls for another convention were freely circulated among the people, and the result was another convention within a month and the placing in nomination of the defeated ticket, with minor exceptions. This was followed by a heated and angry contest, the Republicans making no nominations. The result at the polls showed the election of McPherson by a small majority. Potter and Wise defeated Boyer and Worrel, and Fielding was elected district attorney, there being no charges against the fairness of his nomination.
The Democrats engaged in this revolt, and all who had supported the independent ticket, were subjected to severe censure and abuse by the friends
and supporters of the regular nominees. The newspaper organ of the regular Democratic organization gave them the name of modocs.
They made a regular organization, appointing Henry Kerns, of Curwensville, chairman of the county committee. At a meeting held subsequently it was resolved to continue the party for the present in full organization. A mass-meeting was held by the people of the south part of the county, at Ansonville, addressed by Colonel Walter Barrett, at which it was resolved to maintain the organization and make it effective whenever improper nominations were made. The regular organization, becoming alarmed, called a meeting of the county committee, upon the assembling of which David L. Krebs, the chairman, resigned, and William M. McCullough was elected to his stead, to conciliate independent Democrats. A convention was called and the rules changed, the Crawford system abolished, and in its place a limited delegate system adopted.
In the year 1874 an exceptionally strong ticket was nominated and elected with the usual majority. Emboldened by this, the old manipulators, by the same methods, as it was charged, effected the nomination of J. Blake Walters for county treasurer.
In the meantime a new factor in county politics had developed itself in the shape of a secret organization, styling themselves � the Junior Sons of �76.� This organization joined with the independent Democrats and the stronger and more influential element of the Republican party, and placed in nomination Captain David McGaughey. The result at the polls showed the defeat Walters and the election of McGaughey.
The effect of this movement was most salutary, not only upon the parties, but upon the people and the confidence that it inspired in the ability of the Democratic party to purify itself when necessary, was shown by the fact that in the succeeding year Samuel J. Tilden received the unprecedented majority of nineteen hundred and one, an achievement never before or since accomplished. Calmness appeared to follow this storm until 1878, when Clearfield county instructed for Israel Test for Congress, but failed to secure his nomination, he being defeated by ex-Governor Andrew G. Curtin, of Centre county.
This year the Greenback party, a new organization, had received large accessions from the Democratic ranks, joined with the Republicans and nominated Seth H. Yocum, of Bellefonte. The result was the defeat in the district of Governor Curtin by less than one hundred majority. This was followed by a contest, and to the great credit of Clearfield county it can be said that while hundreds of witnesses were examined, and months consumed in taking testimony, no act of moral turpitude was proven or discovered. The basis of the contest was the irregularity of votes, such as for non-payment of taxes, voters moving in and out of districts within the time prescribed by the constitution and other like reasons.
Two years following Clearfield county instructed for Governor Curtin for Congress, who was elected by a fair majority in the district, the Greenback party having dissolved.
In 1884 commenced one of the most memorable contests known in the history of congressional nominations in Pennsylvania. Clearfield county again pronounced in favor of ex-Governor Curtin and appointed Walter Barrett, Thomas Brocbank and George W. Dickey, conferees; Centre county, his own home, also instructed for him and appointed William H. Blair, L. Munson, and Dr. J. O. Loraine, conferees. The first session of the conference was held at Lock Haven. Adjourning from there, it sat in every county in the district ekcept Clearfield While sitting in Bellefonte, Walter Barrett, on behalf of Clearfield county, and General Blair on behalf of Centre county, withdrew from the conference and placed Governor Curtin in nomination for the office. The Republican district conference was sitting in Bellefonte at the time. Four weeks had been exhausted in a fruitless attempt at a nomination. The moving cause of the withdrawal of Clearfield and Centre counties from the conference was the appearance before them of a committee from the Republican conference, led by Colonel D. H. Hastings, pledging to Clearfield and Centre that if they would nominate Governor Curtin, they, the Republicans, would adjourn without making a nomination, and that they would have no candidate, but their party support Governor Curtin. Relying upon this pledge Clearfield took the action indicated, the remaining four counties nominating James K. P. Hall. After the conferees separated and returned to their homes, the Republicans re-assembled their conference, substituting delegates in place of those who maintained their pledge and adhered to their support of Governor Curtin, and nominated General John Patton, of Clearfield county. After this had been done some Democrats, fearing the result, through the intercession of mutual friends, induced Governor Curtin and Mr. Hall each to submit the question of his candidacy to the Democratic State Central Committee. They decided in favor of Governor Curtin the Saturday night before the election. The election resulted in favor of Governor Curtin and the defeat of General Patton.
In 1885, the only exciting contest that was made was for the office of sheriff. The two principal competitors for the nomination on the Democratic side were Hiram Woodward and George Woodin. The latter received the nomination after a long and heated canvass, but by imprudence and indiscretion made himself unpopular with many voters of his party. The Republicans, not slow to see the opportunity presented them, placed in nomination Jesse E. Dale, then postmaster at Du Bois, a man of sterling character, pleasing manners, of large and strong family connection, all of which combined to make his election easy. The defeat of Mr. Woodin can hardly be called a defeat of the Democratic party, nor could the election of Mr. Dale be claimed as a Repub-
lican victory; it was more of a personal contest between the two candidates and their political adherents.
In the year 1886 the political waters of Clearfield county began to boil early. William A. Wallace, having for a long time been spoken of as a candidate for governor at the coming election, became in July an active aggressive candidate, a fact which interested his friends, companions, and neighbors in politics in Clearfield county. He was defeated, however, in the convention by Chauncey F. Black.
Dr. T. W. Potter had been announced as a candidate for Congress, but immediately withdrew, and the friends of Mr. Wallace made him a candidate for the office. He was supported in the convention by Clearfield and Centre counties. He failed to receive the nomination however, and James K. P. Hall was nominated by the convention.
The Republicans, as usual, on the alert for opportunities, nominated General John Patton. Then followed the most irregular political contest that was ever seen in Clearfield county. Democrats who had never before wavered in their fidelity to their party, boldly avowed their intention of opposing Hall. Mr. Hall sent one of his brothers to Clearfield county to manage his canvass. Every effort was made to induce deserting Democrats to return to their allegiance, but it was all in vain. General Patton was elected by a majority of eighty in the county, while Chauncey F. Black, the Democratic candidate for governor, had a majority of fifteen hundred and one.
The result of this contest being yet fresh in the minds of the people is regarded and looked upon by all, as another of those periodical punishments inflicted by an independent people for the use of means and methods in American politics, that are subversive of good government and corrupting to good morals. General Patton had achieved a reputation in Clearfield county, and the whole district as well, for charity, benevolence, and public spiritedness, that made it an easy matter for the Republican party, using him as a weapon, to break down the existing Democratic majority; a man of large wealth, intricate business interests ramifying through every section of the county, he was well and personally known to nearly all the voters. His connection with educational and church affairs was such as to bring him an active support from that quarter.

Arsene Wenger's final visit to Old Trafford as Arsenal boss ended in heartache as Marouane Fellaini's header in added-on time lifted Manchester United United to a 2-1 victory.
It seemed the spoils would be shared when Henrikh Mkhitaryan struck six minutes after the interval to cancel out Paul Pogba's opener just after the quarter-of-an-hour mark.
But in the first minute of injury time, substitute Fellaini popped up to head home Ashley Young's cross as United consolidated second spot in the Premier League.
What a player this guy is going to be. Having started the season at left wing-back, Maitland-Niles is now bossing Premier League games from central midfield. What makes his performance even more impressive is the fact it was against Paul Pogba and Nemanja Matic, two seasoned internationals. Perhaps the biggest compliment you can give to the 20-year-old is that he is good, no-one seems to know where his best position is because of his incredible versatility.
When Ander Herrera lost the ball in midfield and it was spun out to Henrikh Mkhitaryan, the former United man seemed to havr too much to do. However, he drove at Victor Lindelof and shimmed the ball onto his favoured right foot. Within a second he blasted the ball into the far corner to leave David De Gea stranded. A fantastic goal, ruined by his lack of a celebration.
WHO HAVE THE TWO SIDES GOT LEFT IN THE LEAGUE?
