East football faces biggest challenge yet in district title game vs Southern Lehigh

SWIFTWATER – For the second year in a row, Pocono Mountain East football is playing for a district championship. And for the second year in a row, the Cardinals are the underdog. East earned its way back to the title game by avenging the Bucket Game loss to Pleasant Valley in the 5A District 11 semifinal , but Dustin Thomas’ squad arguably has the toughest opponent of his entire tenure to date: Southern Lehigh, the reigning PIAA 4A state champion that moved up a classification this year. The Spartans are 11-0 after defeating East Stroudsburg South 42-10 in the other 5A semifinal. Many expect them to stay undefeated, but Thomas hopes that could serve as motivation for his players. “I’m not foolish. I know nobody thinks that we can go down there and beat them, but at the same time, if I'm a player on East, that's what's motivating me,” Thomas said. “The fact that you have a chance to put all that to rest and be the team that beats a state champ and win a district title, that would be what’s motivating me.” More: Greyson Fuller's 1,000-yard season is only a first step to become South's next great

Bucknell linguist Hiram Smith to give public lecture at Lycoming College

Williamsport, Pa. — Lycoming College will welcome Hiram Smith, the Ruth Everett Sierzega Chair in Linguistics and associate professor of Spanish and linguistics at Bucknell University, for a public lecture titled “What We Need to Know About Our Own — and Each Other’s — Language.” The free lecture is scheduled for 7 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 17 in the Trogner Presentation Room in the Krapf Gateway Center, followed by a book signing and reception at 8 p.m. The event, hosted by Lycoming College’s Humanities Research Center, is open to the public. Smith’s research examines language variation and change within marginalized speech communities across the Americas, including African American English, Palenquero, and Pennsylvania Dutch. His work involves community members in every stage of the research process, from data collection to co-authorship. The lecture draws on Smith’s research into Creole languages and the stigmatization they face. His work on Palenquero, an Afro-Hispanic Creole language spoken in northern Colombia, examines how languages can be dismissed, devalued, and yet still survive. That thread also runs through his study of African American English and his book, “Wassup, My Nigga: The Hidden History of a Controversial Word” (Georgetown University Press), which traces how stigma shapes the way
