The 2015-16 state budget fight is not over. The battlefield has merely shifted. And the casualties on the sidelines are school officials who can’t plan if they can’ttrust the numbers they’re hearing.Last month Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf allowed a budget to pass without his sig-nature. At the same time, he vetoed a bi-partisan plan that Republican legislatorsproposed for divvying up education fund-ing among schools.This week, Wolf announced his ownplan for distributing the money.“Normally, when a budget got approved(the Department of Education) would send out a spreadsheet so everybody knew what they were getting,” HempfieldChief Operating Officer Dan Forry said.“We have not seen any of that yet.” What school officials have seen are com-peting spreadsheets from Wolf’s officeand GOP legislators.The governor says money will be dis-tributed through his “restoration for-mula.” Republicans, who say Wolf doesn’thave the authority to do that, are consid-ering a lawsuit to stop him.
Governor’s formula
Under the governor’s plan, all Lancaster County school districts receive a funding increase of at least 1.5 percent more than2014-15. Octorara and Columbia schooldistricts receive the largest increases —4.7 percent and 4.2 percent, respectively.In a press release Monday, Wolf said his formula delivers extra money to districtsthat lost funding under the previous Re-publican governor. Philadelphia schools,for instance, will get almost 8 percent more this year than in 2014-15.But Republicans in both the House and Senate objected to Wolf’s formula this

An average of 28 people die in train-related incidents in Pennsylvania each year. Very few of them are rail workers or passengers. Most are pedestrian “trespassers” on the tracks or motorists at rail crossings, a review of Fed-eral Railroad Administration data shows.LNP looked at 16 years of administration data following last Sunday’s train accident that killed two Amtrak work-ers and injured more than 30 passengers near Chester.The accident — in which a train struck a backhoe — has brought renewed attention to rail safety in Pennsylvania, in part because it came less than a year after a derailment that killed eight Amtrak passen-gers in north Philadelphia.The exact cause of last May’s accident is still under inves-tigation, but the train was traveling well above the speed limit, officials have said.

Most people killed by trains are pedestrians or motorists, not passengers or employees

About 1,200 people died in traffic accidents in Pennsylvania in 2015, making it the second-safest year since record-keeping began in 1928.Fatalities were up by only five from 2014, which was the safest year on record, the Depart-ment of Transportation said.In a press release, PennDOT cited some of the key trends in its 2015 report.— Significant decreas-es were recorded in thenumber of fatalities in- volving older drivers(down from 300 to 279),aggressive drivers (down from 134 to 119) andcrashes at intersections (down from 271 to 251).— Fatalities increased from accidents in which a single vehicle ran off the road (up from 534 to

Retired barber Sam Fokas is a fan of Donald Trump, the Republican presidential front-runner. Trump’s beaming face on a button pinned to Fokas’ jacket makes that clear.
F
okas likes Trump because he tells the truth, Fokas says. But then some-times the 83-year-old East Hempfield Township resident is “fed up with him, too,” because Trump can “overdo it.”“He goes too far with women,” Fokas said of Trump’s recent threat to “spill the beans” on Ted Cruz’s wife, Heidi. “He brought the name of Cruz’s wife, and his wife, in the battle.” A registered voter who emigrated from Greece 65 years ago, Fokas explained his love-hate relationship with the billionaire’s presi-dential campaign while shopping Wednesday at Park City Center. With Pennsylvania’s April 26 primary right around the corner, thousands of county resi-dents, like Fokas, are starting to pay close at-tention to the race. From Trump’s comments on women to his and other candidates’ goal of

S
ymmetry, shapes and shadows all combine to help create powerful imagery. On the corner of King and Mulberry streets in Lancast-er, I noticed the signage for The Umbrella Works building. The afternoon shadows helped create contrast, seemingly lifting the sign right off the building. The simple shapes and well balanced design create a clean and powerful look on the north side of the building. I was sporting my Canon F1 film camera to capture this im-age. I processed the film myself and then scanned the negative to create the image you see printed today. This five-story building was originally built around 1892, according to the City of Lancaster website. At the time, it was known as the Follmer, Clogg and Com-pany Umbrella Works Factory, and it be-came the biggest umbrella manufacturer in the world by the early 1900s. It oper-ated until 1944, when the J.B. Van Sciver furniture store took over and occupied it until 1982. In the early ’90s, it was con- verted into the affordable-housing apart-ments known today as The Umbrella Works. Apartments like these help fill vi-tal housing needs in Lancaster’s increas-ingly competitive rental market.

The 9th annual event to raise money for childhood cancer brought in more than $92,000 online — so far

The snow falling Sat-urday might have been a reminder of winter, but the hair falling beneath a tent behind a Lancaster bar offered the spring-like hope of renewed life. About 200 people sub-mitted to hair stylists’ clippers on the patio of Annie Bailey’s Irish Pub & Restaurant on East King Street, hav-ing their hair shaved off during the ninth annual Lancaster St. Baldrick’s Foundation event.They got buzz cuts as part of raising money to fight childhood cancer, and in solidarity with the kids fighting that battle.By midafternoon Sat-urday, the noisy, jovial crowd of fundraisers was closing in on its 2016 goal of $100,000, having raised more than $92,000 online. As he approached the line of stools manned by volunteer stylists, Ver-non Moore, of Millers- ville, was at the top of the list of individual fund-raisers, having collected more than $4,100. His 23-member team, the Lancaster Pub Crawlers, had raised $18,580 as of Saturday afternoon.The event is personal for Moore this year. He just completed his fourth month of chemotherapy for his own rare form of non-Hodgkin lympho-ma called Waldenstrom’s macroglobulinemia.Moore’s silver hair soon blended with the tufts of brown, blond, red and even blue hair falling onto the flagstone on the bar’s back patio.One by one, freshly shaved men, women and children ran their hands
