NoneCincinnati Bengals Quarterback Joe Burrow was given the highest praise by his former Offensive Coordinator Brian Callahan. When asked about the NFL MVP race Callahan said, “If I had a vote, he’d be my MVP.” Callahan was the Cincinnati Bengals OC from 2019-2023. He was hired as the Tennessee Titans Head Coach in January 2024. Callahan made the remarks as he readies his team to face the Bengals later this week. Burrow is having a career season in 2024, but his MVP chances are zero. The team has not been good enough to justify an MVP candidacy by Burrow. He is leading the league in passing yards and passing touchdowns. Burrow is also fourth in the league in QB Rating. Burrow has also thrown 3 touchdown passes in five straight games. Will the star quarterback continue playing well as the Cincinnati Bengals look to finish the regular season strong? Cincinnati Bengals Season Summary Former Bengals' offensive coordinator Brian Callahan thinks Joe Burrow deserves the MVP pic.twitter.com/ycixJCxfiW — NFL on ESPN (@ESPNNFL) December 11, 2024 Cincinnati(5-8) has a slim 3% chance to qualify for the NFL Playoffs . The Cincinnati Bengals started the year slowly again this season and they have been unable to recover. They started the season 1-4 and are currently on a two-game losing streak. Burrow also believes that he is playing the best football of his career even though it has not translated to wins on the gridiron. He had this to say following Monday’s 27-20 win over the Dallas Cowboys . “I think I’ve been play-to-play better than I’ve ever been,” said Burrow. “I think I’m creating better than I ever have.” The statistics back up Burrow’s claims. The Cincinnati Bengals offense, led by Burrow and Wide Receiver Ja’Marr Chase, has been one of the league’s best. They are ninth in total yards per game and sixth in the league in points scored. Burrow is currently 12th in NFL MVP odds as the team’s defense has let them down this season. They are 26th in yards allowed and 29 in points allowed. The Bengals have lost games this season scoring 33, 38, 34, 27, and 38 points. Even with a historic year from Burrow, he has been unable to overcome one of the league’s worst units. Final Thoughts With the Cincinnati Bengals getting ready to visit the Tennessee Titans on Sunday, Callahan’s comments can be viewed in two different ways. Either Callahan is being honest about his former player or he is hoping to praise Burrow in the hopes he takes the 3-10 team lightly. Burrow has been great this season, and if he had even an average defense, he would be both atop the NFL MVP race and in the playoff picture.

The Perry County Literacy Council (PCLC) currently is in great need of donations and volunteers to continue supporting the growing demand for services. Whether individuals or businesses can contribute financially or offer time to tutor, assist with office tasks, or help with fundraising, the support is essential in helping the organization fulfill its mission. Donations can be made directly through the PCLC website, and volunteers can apply by contacting the office to find out how their skills can be put to use in the impactful community service. The community’s generosity can make a direct difference in the lives of individuals striving for a better future. The PCLC began in the early 1980s with a small group of concerned community members, and over the past four decades it has grown into a vital resource for many residents of Perry County. The organization was born out of a shared concern about illiteracy when Dale Lesperance approached Lane Partner, seeking a solution to the lack of educational opportunities. With a $100 grant from the New Bloomfield Civic Club, they organized a Laubach Literacy training event for a small group of 10-12 people, using books loaned from the Juniata County Literacy Council. The organization started simply, without a formal structure, but local churches and clubs helped spread the word, and volunteer tutors worked with students one-on-one. The first year, they worked with only a handful of people, meeting in Father Larry’s house at St. Bernard Catholic Church. That informal start laid the foundation for what would become a much larger operation. By 1984, after securing a $25,000 grant from the Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE), the PCLC moved into the basement of the Newport Public Library. At that point, the organization hired its first executive director, Wendy Lindstrom, and began to expand its offerings, including high school equivalency instruction. In 1993, a major shift occurred when Carol Steiner took over as executive director. Steiner’s priorities included integrating computer literacy into PCLC’s programs and significantly increasing fundraising efforts. At that time, Anne Chappelka, a new arrival to Perry County, became deeply involved in the organization and eventually joined the board, where she remained an active volunteer until her passing in 2021. Tragedy struck in 1997 when Steiner died in a car accident. Chappelka, serving as the board president, stepped in as acting director until a permanent replacement could be found. With help from the Pennsylvania Department of Education, which had strong respect for Steiner, PCLC was able to continue its operations while searching for a new leader. By 2000, the organization had outgrown its library basement and moved to a new facility on Market Street in Newport. In 2003, the Newport School District made a significant decision to allow PCLC to use its facilities as a GED test site, an arrangement that benefited many adults in the community who previously had to travel to Harrisburg Area Community College to take tests. When Executive Director Susan Risner retired in 2007, Kathleen Bentley, a former special education teacher, took over. Bentley brought a wealth of experience to the organization, and her approach focused on treating each individual with dignity and compassion. Bentley’s time at PCLC saw the organization expand its services further, with a new location on South Fifth Street offering more space for workforce training and other resources. She established partnerships with various agencies, including Perry Apex Services Unlimited (PASU), which provided transportation to help people access PCLC services. Bentley also launched a scholarship fund that paid for at least half the cost of GED testing. Bentley’s work highlighted the profound need for basic services like identification documents, which many residents lacked. Through her efforts, PCLC helped individuals obtain essential documents like photo IDs, birth certificates and social security cards. In 2010, a social work office was established, and Bentley used grants to provide other crucial services such as childcare for students’ children and emergency food and gas cards. In December 2021, Bentley retired, and Leslie Heimbaugh, who had been with the organization since 2009, took over as executive director. Heimbaugh initially joined PCLC as a part-time office manager and quickly became involved in fundraising and supporting students. She served as an administrative assistant and development officer before being asked to take on the executive director role in 2017. However, that meant she’d need to earn a bachelor’s degree, which she did by completing a degree in communications from Central Penn College at age 58, even becoming the valedictorian of her class. Heimbaugh’s deep commitment to the work of PCLC is reflected in her passion for the students and families the organization serves. “It’s such a privilege that people trust us to help them through some of the roughest times in their lives,” she said. “It’s simultaneously the most joyful and toughest work I’ve ever done.” Heimbaugh is particularly moved by the resilience of students who, despite facing enormous challenges in their lives, continue to pursue their educational goals. She acknowledges the importance of offering second chances. “PCLC is all about second, third, and sometimes even fourth chances. We never judge anyone who needs to walk away and return when conditions are more favorable for their success.” The range of services offered by PCLC is extensive, with a primary focus on adult education and GED preparation, as well as English as a Second Language (ESL) programs. Heimbaugh pointed out that the number of ESL students has been growing rapidly, with all students legally residing in the U.S. or holding refugee status. In addition to the educational services, PCLC provides an array of support services, including help with obtaining vital documents, emergency food and gas cards, childcare for students’ children, free tax preparation for low-income residents, and assistance with healthcare connections. As an official Pennsylvania CareerLink, PCLC helps individuals connect with employment and training opportunities, especially for youth and adults who need job readiness support. The Office of Vocational Rehabilitation, which co-locates with PCLC, provides services to Perry County residents with disabilities. Merakey, another organization that shares space, runs programs for adults with mental health challenges, including advocacy, recovery and psychiatric rehabilitation.

We listen to what our clients need, take care of what we can, and offer a ‘warm hand-off’ to one of our partners.” The impact of PCLC’s work is evident in the stories of individuals it serves. Heimbaugh shared an example of a student who came to the organization with the hope that a pair of steel-toed boots could help secure a job. PCLC was able to provide the necessary support, and the individual eventually found employment. PCLC continues to serve residents not only from Perry County but also from neighboring areas such as upper Dauphin and eastern Juniata counties. As Heimbaugh put it, “The people we serve are just like you and me — they want the same things we do—love, safety, security, education, a home, and family.” Many of the students and clients face significant obstacles in their lives, but PCLC’s mission is to help them overcome those barriers and achieve their goals, one step at a time.Joe Biden begins final White House holiday season with turkey pardons for 'Peach' and 'Blossom' WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden has kicked off his final holiday season at the White House, issuing the traditional reprieve to two turkeys who will bypass the Thanksgiving table to live out their days in Minnesota. The president welcomed 2,500 guests under sunny skies as he cracked jokes about the fates of “Peach” and “Blossom.” He also sounded wistful tones about the last weeks of his presidency. Separately, first lady Jill Biden received the delivery of the official White House Christmas tree. And the Bidens are traveling to New York later Monday for an early holiday celebration with members of the Coast Guard. Bah, humbug! Vandal smashes Ebenezer Scrooge's tombstone used in 'A Christmas Carol' movie LONDON (AP) — If life imitates art, a vandal in the English countryside may be haunted by The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come. Police in the town of Shrewsbury are investigating how a tombstone at the fictional grave of Ebenezer Scrooge was destroyed. The movie prop used in the 1984 adaption of Charles Dickens' “A Christmas Carol” had become a tourist attraction. The film starred George C. Scott as the cold-hearted curmudgeon who is visited by three ghosts on Christmas Eve who show him what will become of his life if he doesn’t become a better person. West Mercia Police say the stone was vandalized in the past week. Megachurch founder T.D. Jakes suffers health incident during sermon at Dallas church DALLAS (AP) — The founder of Dallas-based megachurch The Potter's House, Bishop T.D. Jakes, was hospitalized after suffering what the church called a “slight health incident.” Jakes was speaking to churchgoers after he sat down and began trembling as several people gathered around him Sunday at the church. Jakes' daughter Sarah Jakes Roberts and her husband Touré Roberts said in a statement on social media late Sunday that Jakes was improving. The 67-year-old Jakes founded the non-denominational The Potter's House in 1996 and his website says it now has more than 30,000 members with campuses in Fort Worth and Frisco, Texas; and in Denver. Warren Buffett gives away another $1.1B and plans for distributing his $147B fortune after his death OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Investor Warren Buffett renewed his Thanksgiving tradition of giving by announcing plans Monday to hand more than $1.1 billion of Berkshire Hathaway stock to four of his family's foundations, and he offered new details about who will be handing out the rest of his fortune after his death. Buffett has said previously that his three kids will distribute his remaining $147.4 billion fortune in the 10 years after his death, but now he has also designated successors for them because it’s possible that Buffett’s children could die before giving it all away. Buffett said he has no regrets about his decision to start giving away his fortune in 2006. At the crossroads of news and opinion, 'Morning Joe' hosts grapple with aftermath of Trump meeting The reaction of those who defended “Morning Joe” hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski for meeting with President-elect Trump sounds almost quaint in the days of opinionated journalism. Doesn't it makes sense, they said, for hosts of a political news show to meet with such an important figure? But given how “Morning Joe” has attacked Trump, its viewers felt insulted. Many reacted quickly by staying away. It all reflects the broader trend of opinion crowding out traditional journalist in today's marketplace, and the expectations that creates among consumers. By mid-week, the show's audience was less than two-thirds what it has typically been this year. Pop star Ed Sheeran apologizes to Man United boss Ruben Amorim for crashing interview MANCHESTER, England (AP) — British pop star Ed Sheeran has apologized to Ruben Amorim after inadvertently interrupting the new Manchester United head coach during a live television interview. Amorim was talking on Sky Sports after United’s 1-1 draw with Ipswich on Sunday when Sheeran walked up to embrace analyst Jamie Redknapp. The interview was paused before Redknapp told the pop star to “come and say hello in a minute.” Sheeran is a lifelong Ipswich fan and holds a minority stake in the club. He was pictured celebrating after Omari Hutchinson’s equalizing goal in the game at Portman Road. A desert oasis outside of Dubai draws a new caravan: A family of rodents from Argentina AL QUDRA LAKES, United Arab Emirates (AP) — A desert oasis hidden away in the dunes in the far reaches of skyscraper-studded Dubai has drawn a surprising new set of weary world travelers: a pack of Argentinian rodents. A number of Patagonian mara, a rabbit-like mammal with long legs, big ears and a body like a hoofed animal, now roam the grounds of Al Qudra Lakes, typically home to gazelle and other desert creatures of the United Arab Emirates. How they got there remains a mystery in the UAE, a country where exotic animals have ended up in the private homes and farms of the wealthy. But the pack appears to be thriving there and likely have survived several years already in a network of warrens among the dunes. Pilot dies in plane crash in remote woods of New York, puppy found alive WINDHAM, N.Y. (AP) — Authorities say a pilot and at least one dog he was transporting died when a small plane crashed in the snowy woods of the Catskill Mountains, though a puppy on the flight was found alive with two broken legs. The Greene County sheriff’s office says Seuk Kim of Springfield, Virginia, was flying from Maryland to Albany, New York, when the plane crashed at about 6:10 p.m. Sunday in a remote area. Officials believe the pilot died from the impact. The surviving dog was hospitalized, while a third dog was not located. The flight was connected with a not-for-profit group that transports rescue animals. New Zealanders save more than 30 stranded whales by lifting them on sheets WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) — More than 30 pilot whales that stranded themselves on a beach in New Zealand have been safely returned to the ocean after conservation workers and residents helped to refloat them by lifting them on sheets. New Zealand’s conservation agency said four whales died. New Zealand is a whale stranding hotspot and pilot whales are especially prolific stranders. The agency praised as “incredible” the efforts made by hundreds of people to help save the foundering pod. A Māori cultural ceremony for the three adult whales and one calf that died in the stranding took place Monday. Rainbow-clad revelers hit Copacabana beach for Rio de Janeiro’s pride parade RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Thousands of revelers have gathered alongside Copacabana beach for Rio de Janeiro’s annual gay pride parade, many scantily dressed and covered in glitter. Rainbow-colored flags, towels and fans abounded among the crowd mostly made up of young revelers, who danced and sang along to music blaring from speakers. While the atmosphere was festive, some spoke of the threat of violence LGBTQ+ people face in Brazil. At least 230 LGBTQ+ Brazilians were victims of violent deaths in 2023, according to the umbrella watchdog group Observatory of LGBTQ+ deaths and violence in Brazil.
