MIDDLETOWN Last year around this time, Strath Haven was making another epic run through the Class 5A football playoffs. This year the Panthers been living out of coach Kevin Clancys trunk, the locker room basically off limits to comply with strict COVID-19 protocols.

In 39 years of coaching, including 30 at Strath Haven, Clancy has never experienced anything as challenging as guiding a team through coronavirus protocols. And hes never been more satisfied with the enthusiasm and grit his players have shown along the way.

Its a weird season but the kids are still having fun playing football and thats what its all about, Clancy said Friday after the Panthers defeated Penncrest 49-7. The kids have worked hard, theyre easy to coach, theyve got a great attitude and thats made it fun. Were a week from getting through this and we have not had an exposure (of COVID-19) on the field transmitted from football. I feel like its been a successful season from that standpoint.

The Panthers (4-1) prevailed over the Lions for the 31st time in the 39-year history of the Hometown Bowl, the label attached to these opponents, their schools sandwiched around Media.

Seniors Jaris Adams and Chase Barlow rushed for two touchdowns each, Adams going over 100 yards in the first half with a 71-yard jaunt with 10 seconds remaining to stake the Panthers to a 21-7 cushion at the intermission. Barlow tallied both of his TDs in a 21-point third quarter that put the Lions on ice.

After a sluggish and scoreless first quarter, junior Matt Shuler rolled 18 yards to give the Panthers a 7-0 lead. The points came off a fumble by the Lions, one of a small handful of turnovers on the night.

The Lions (1-4) bounced back with a 12-play, 65-yard march. Quarterback Nick Chelo went over from three yards to knot the score at 7 with 4:51 remaining in the second quarter.

We were competing, Lions coach Ryan Smith said. It was a football game. But when we do things like open up the doorways for our opponents with mistakes theyre not going to walk through them. Theyre going to own the house.

The Panthers took control shortly thereafter. Adams lifted off for a 37-yard touchdown, twisting inside and outside before turning on the jets. Then he ran away from everyone on the 71-yarder late in the second quarter.

Barlow had another long run in the third quarter nullified by a penalty. All three of Strath Havens touchdowns in the frame were two-yard runs, quarterback Jack Ryder adding the other. Junior Greg Belville got the last TD on a six-yard run with 5:11 remaining.

When the game ended, the Panthers hoisted the Media Bowl trophy. They play Class 6A team Haverford next week in the Central Leagues Runners-up Bowl.

Postseason or not, this is a year Clancy always will remember. His trunk is full of footballs and other gear the Panthers practice with, one of the sacrifices made to play football. The Panthers locker room is full of desks that were taken out of classrooms to satisfy the social distancing protocol for students.

Far and away Ive never seen this, Clancy said with a grin. For a while the buildings werent open. Now the buildings are open but the kids dont keep their equipment in them. The kids come dressed to practice. Its very much like CYO. Im just proud of the kids. Theyve done all the things weve asked of them. And I mean, the on-field part has been about as much fun as Ive had in years.

Adams never will forget this season as well. Like his teammates, he kept hope alive that they would be together again on a football field doing the things they felt destined to do.

Weve gone through some adversity this season but other than that its been great, Adams said. I love these guys. I love them like theyre my brothers. I cant do what I do without them.

Barlow, who wrestled in the PIAA state tournament last year, recalled how the 2019 football season ended in the District 1 semifinals with a heartbreaking loss in overtime. This season has worth every ache, pain and sacrifice.

Were thankful to have these games, Barlow said. Some schools arent having them. Were making the best out of it. Weve had a great season.

Craziness of season makes Media Bowl more memorable for Clancy, Strath Haven - papreplive.com

On the economy, the numbers cannot be kept hidden. The rate of GDP growth has gone from 8 to 7 to 6 to 5 to 4 to 3 over the last 12 quarters or three years. Something sabotaged the economy just before January 2018 and today is not the time to go again into it. The fact is that without Covid and even before the lockdown, the Indian economy was wrecked. Hours after the Bihar election results were out, the Reserve Bank of India announced that in the second quarter, meaning July to September, Indias economy would again contract, and we were in recession.

The government did not acknowledge this or respond to it. Modi muttered some more things about development but his heart is not in it. Do you remember the last time he spoke about his world beating economy performance? It is because there is nothing to say. Bangladesh has overtaken Indias per capita GDP. What more can be added to that? As I am writing this, there is news that we have lost 11 more lives on the Line of Control. The medias response to this in India has been to claim that Pakistan has also lost 11 lives (which Pakstans media or government has not acknowledged).

PM Modis words now mean nothing, his numbers do, and they are pretty bad - National Herald

OTTAWA The Trudeau government is proposing new privacy measures to give people more control over their information in the digital age, with potentially stiff fines for companies that flout the rules.

The legislation tabled in the House of Commons on Tuesday is designed to flesh out the 10 principles of the federal digital charter and bring Canada's much-maligned privacy regime for businesses into the modern era.

Advocacy groups and business organizations generally applauded the bill, but there were concerns about how comprehensive the practical effects will be.

Under the legislation, companies would have to obtain consent from customers through plain language, not a long legal document, before using their personal data.

The government says the bill, the Digital Charter Implementation Act, would also give consumers the ability to more easily transfer their data from one business to another. For example, people could direct their bank to share their personal information with another financial institution.

The bill would arm the federal privacy commissioner with order-making powers, including the ability to demand that a company stop collecting data or using personal information.

In addition, the commissioner would be able to recommend that the planned Personal Information and Data Protection Tribunal impose a fine.

The legislation would provide for administrative monetary penalties of up to three per cent of global revenue or $10 million, whichever is higher, for non-compliant organizations.

It also contains harsher penalties for certain serious infractions, including a maximum fine of five per cent of global revenue, or $25 million, bringing Canada into line with Europe.

"The fines are there to provide accountability," said Innovation Minister Navdeep Bains.

"If we want Canadians to feel confident online they need to make sure that their privacy is protected, and that they have greater control over their data."

The government says the law would also ensure Canadians could demand their information on social-media platforms, such as Facebook or Twitter, be permanently deleted.

To reinforce this, the privacy commissioner would have the ability to order a social-media company to comply.

The legislation would also give the privacy commissioner powers to audit organizations, an enforcement tool that Daniel Therrien, the current commissioner, has repeatedly advocated.

The bill is a "big win for privacy in Canada," said Laura Tribe, executive director of OpenMedia, which has long pushed for stronger laws.

"For years, people have been calling on the government to increase protections for our digital privacy, to no avail," she said.

"As a result, protecting the data and privacy of Canadians has been an afterthought for many companies, knowing that there were no meaningful penalties or consequences for bad behaviour."

The group noted the legislation says consent is not required when an organization lacks a direct relationship with a person, which could water down the protections.

The bill is a step in the right direction, said Jim Balsillie, founder of the Centre for Digital Rights. "However, what seems to be missing is a clear recognition of privacy as a fundamental human right."

Goldy Hyder, president of the Business Council of Canada, said the legislative proposals set out clear rules to protect consumers, promote innovation and strengthen Canadians' confidence in the emerging digital economy.

The Canadian Internet Registration Authority, which manages .ca domains, welcomed the bill by saying trust is critical to the digital economy and central to a well-functioning internet. "Canadians must be able to trust that their personal data will be protected and not abused."

The legislation would also:

Require businesses to to be transparent about how they use automated decision-making systems like algorithms and artificial intelligence to make significant predictions, recommendations or decisions about people;

Clarify that depersonalized information, for instance through removal of a name, must be protected and that it can be used without a person's consent only under certain circumstances;

Allow businesses to disclose de-identified data to public organizations in some cases for socially beneficial purposes, such as health or environmental initiatives.
