Down a bucket, Columbia junior guard Kerry Glover tied it with 1 minutes, 15 seconds remaining, and followed that with a game-winning and-1 layup and free-throw with three seconds left to lead the Tide to a 73-70 season-opening Lancaster-Lebanon League Section Five win at Lancaster Mennonite on Tuesday night.
"It was either me or Michael Poole to take the shot (in the final seconds)," Glover said. "I chose to be the one."
THE ISSUE
Republican U.S. Rep. Lloyd Smucker of Lancaster County was reelected to his third term in November, in the same election in which President-elect Joe Biden defeated incumbent President Donald Trump by more than 80,000 votes in Pennsylvania. Smucker was one of eight Pennsylvania Republican members of the U.S. House of Representatives who sought to block Congress from accepting the commonwealth's 20 electoral votes for President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris early last Thursday morning. That was just hours after pro-Trump insurrectionists invaded the U.S. Capitol, seeking to stop the counting of the electoral votes and do bodily harm to Vice President Mike Pence and U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
U.S. Rep. Lloyd Smucker on Wednesday voted against impeaching President Donald Trump for the second time in 13 months, rejecting Democrats' argument that the president's role in inciting the angry mob that attacked the U.S. Capitol last week demanded his removal from office.
Smucker and Pennsylvania's eight other Republican House members voted against the single article of impeachment. Just 10 Republicans broke from their party and voted with Democrats for impeachment, making Trump the first president in U.S. history to be impeached twice.

Dollar General employees are being offered an incentive to get the COVID-19 vaccination - the company will give them four hours pay.
The Wall Street Journal reports that the retailer is among the first large U.S. employers who have offered incentives to encourage their employees to take the COVID-19 vaccine - Dollar General employs 157,000 people. Its move to incentivize staff could be interpreted as a sign that companies with essential workers view "mass inoculation" as crucial in crushing the pandemic.
Gov. Tom Wolf said Thursday 450 Pennsylvania National Guard members have been placed on active duty around the state to bolster security efforts in the wake of the attack at the U.S. Capitol last week.
Wolf said the mobilization of the guard troops will coincide with heightened security measures leading up to the inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden. More than 1,000 Pennsylvania National Guard troops have already deployed to Washington, D.C. to aid local authorities in security efforts for the inauguration.
