I know I didn’t have to resort to it. But I also don’t feel comfortable Be a Citizen Journalist telling other people not to do it. I don’t think legislating against it is the answer. Kare Bonnar-Fay stay-at-home mom Welcome to the New Danville Weekly.com It’s a hard question. To be perfectly honest there are a few who do need a quick spanking on their tail but not to be beaten up. Spanking done in a loving way could be beneficial to a child. There are so many situations we have at our high schools and even our grammar ry 16 brua schools where kids are abusive to themselves. Coming Fe John Steward retired owner of painting business I think no one should spank children. There are far better ways to discipline them and other deterrents. You have to anticipate prob- lems. Martha Slavin former teacher I don’t think it should be made illegal. There’s a fine line between spanking and abuse. I have two children, 14 and 8. We never spanked them but sometimes we might give a quick whack if they were doing something danger- ous or picking up the cat by its foot. We used timeouts, and now we take away things they believe are their rights, like the Internet. Paul Kimelman technical architect I never spanked my two children. I withheld privileges and restricted them. And there was lots of talking.

  • Palm Canyon (Lyric Landscape), 1968 Artist
    Title - Palm Canyon (Lyric Landscape), 1968 Artist - Edward Biberman American, 1904-1986 Oil on Masonite Gift of the Estate of Genevieve U. Gilmore; Courtesy of Mrs. Martha Parfet, Mrs. Carol Boudeman and Mrs. Jane Vojnovich Spotlight Paper - Josie Gomez, 2019 Artist’s Background Information; Edward Biberman was born in Philadelphia on October 23, 1904. He died in 1986 at the age of 81 in the Hollywood Hills home he shared with his wife Sonja. Biberman was born to Jewish immigrant parents from Russia. His father, Joseph, left his homeland at the age of 18 to come to the United States seeking the “American Dream”. By the time he was 30 years old Edward’s father was a very successful businessman. Edward was the youngest of three children. He was 16 years old when he graduated from high school. He received a scholarship to the University of Pennsylvania and graduated at the age of 19 with a degree of Bachelor of Science in Economics. In 1924 at the age of 20 he enrolled as a full-time student at the Academy of Fine Arts in Pennsylvania. Edward was now fully committed to a life in art. Edward’s father resigned himself to the fact that his youngest son would not take over the family business. In June of 1926 after graduating from the Fine Arts Academy he sailed to Europe, living in Paris from 1926-29 where he met many artists and writers. While he enjoyed his time in Europe he realized he wanted to return to America. His career as an artist was launched with an exhibition in Paris in 1927.

    Comcast’s Digital Migration Comcast is moving to a full digital delivery system in California and throughout the U.S. Comcast’s objective is to migrate customers to digital, and enhance the quality of their services, at little or no additional cost to the customer. Our goal is to make this transition simple and customer friendly. With this initiative, Comcast is improving picture quality and will free up bandwidth space to give consumers over 100 new channels, more High Definition (HD) choices, and faster Internet service. FAQs Q. What is Comcast’s Digital Migration Project? The project involves transforming Comcast’s Limited Basic and Expanded Basic cable channels (very roughly channels 2 to 82) from an analog to a digital format to add more bandwidth and give consumers dozens of new channels, more High Definition (HD) content, faster Internet speeds and advanced services. To do this, all customers who currently have Limited Basic and Expanded Basic cable in their homes will need a Digital Transport Adapter (DTA), a small piece of equipment that plugs directly into the TV set. In addition, all Comcast customers, regardless of their service level, will need to have some type of a box on their individual TV sets (many already do). These boxes can be mailed or picked up and self-installed at home (a very easy process that many thousands of customers have already completed). Delivering channels via digital format is a more efficient use of the existing cable infrastructure. By re- allocating analog channels to exclusive digital delivery, Comcast is able to triple the space on its network to give customers more of what they want – more HD channels, international networks and On Demand, as well as much faster Internet service.
