    The CatholicWitness The Newspaper of the Diocese of Harrisburg December 22, 2017 Vol. 51 No. 24 The Christmas artwork pictured here was created by two of the four winners of Bishop Ronald Gainer’s 2017 Christmas Card Contest. The contest allowed students to portray an interpretation of the birth of Jesus Christ as seen through their eyes. A total of 53 entries were submitted from 27 schools this year, and four winners were selected from contest entries among four age categories. The image on the left is by Kristen Landsman, a senior at Delone Catholic High School in McSherrystown, and the image at the right is by Abby Caruso, an eighth grader at St. Catherine Labouré School in Harrisburg. The other two winning images were featured on the cover of the December 8 edition. The four winning pieces were used as illustrations on Bishop Gainer’s Christmas cards this year, and the students are pictured on page 3 with the bishop. Christmas 2017 800 AD.

Stocks are starting a bit higher this morning, but this is how we have started most mornings as of late, only to see the limbo stick lowered throughout the day as the music plays. Jack be limbo, Jack be quick... The S&P 500 just posted its lowest close of the year. In fact, it was the lowest close in the S&P 500 since October 2017. To this point, December is shaping up to be our worst month of the year. Since the S&P 500 started back in 1957, December has never been the worst month of the year. Crude oil prices have also fallen aggressively, now down to their lowest level in 18­months as more investors fear a widening global economic slowdown. Keep in mind, many traders have already been arguing that the global economy has shown some red flags, with slowing growth in China, contracting growth in Japan, as well as parts of the Europe Union. There's also fear surrounding what looks to be a currency crises in the emerging markets. The tightening of interest rates is also looming large.

  • Introducing Chicago
    © Lonely Planet Publications Pty Ltd INTRODUCING CHICAGO The city of Chicago rises high above the waters of Lake Michigan PETER PTSCHELINZEW The sun dips. Skyscraper lights flicker on, ricocheting around the steely towers. Then Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony fills the twilight air. People on blankets spread as far as the eye can see. They chat, clink beer bottles and hoist burly slices of pizza – a Chicago-style picnic, blending high culture and earthy pleasures. That’s how it’s done here, whether at a free concert by the Grant Park Orchestra or at the Art Institute, where the revered lion sculptures don hockey helmets for the Blackhawks’ Stanley Cup win. Chicago often gets ‘discovered’ for its cultural cool, perhaps never more so than when a local guy named Barack Obama got elected President of the United States. The spotlight swung to the nation’s third-largest city. ‘Wow,’ visitors said. ‘Look at that high-flying architecture. That blue, sailboat-dotted water stretching over the horizon. That whimsical public art studding the street corners.’ The accolades continued: ‘Hey, there’s a globe-spanning foodie culture. And loads of Beard- award-winning chefs. And the continent’s top restaurant, Alinea, cooks in the Windy City.’ Then the deal sealer: ‘Megabashes like Lollapalooza, Blues Fest and Pitchfork rock downtown almost every weekend in summer, while smaller concerts happen every night at Millennium Park for free!’ Chicagoans shook their heads and smiled, too polite to point out that, yes, that’s Chicago, and it has been here – right at the nation’s core – all along.
