Caryn: We watched a movie this week, but I can’t remember the name of it. It had Adam Sandler and it won a lot of Razzie awards this year…
Dan: Yeah, “Jack and Jill.”
Caryn: No, that’s not it. Adam Sandler was cross-dressing and it was about two twins named Jack and Jill and Jill was unlucky in love. And Al Pacino was in it too. And Katie Holmes played the male twin’s wife…
Dan: Yeah, it was “Jack and Jill.”
Caryn: Really? No. That couldn’t possibly be it. Jill breaks Al Pacino’s Oscar award in it. In the end, Jill decides she wants to be with the pool boy because he’s a lot of fun to be with and she spurns Al Pacino. Continue reading →

The York City School District was able to restore some music and art positions in the proposed 2012-13 budget, though the board still approved other cuts on Wednesday. The board previously heard that eliminating art, music, guidance counselors and sports would be necessary to balance the 2012-13 budget, which started with a $19 million deficit.
Three music teachers, two art teachers, three guidance counselors and a gifted teacher will remain next year, as will some sports, including football, basketball, volleyball and track. The board still approved cutting art, music and guidance counselors from kindergarten to grade 8. Teachers certified in music and art will have to use their expertise districtwide. Last week, local musicians weighed in on prospective cuts.
Patrick Dahlheimer took upright bass lessons from Don Carn, a middle school music teacher at Edgar Fahs Smith Middle School in York. Chad Taylor picked up the guitar. Chad Gracey switched from tenor sax to drums. Carn brought the trio together with singer Ed Kowalczyk, who also attended Smith.
“Don Carn put the founding members of Live together,” Gracey said during a recent phone interview.
“It’s very disappointing that they’re proposing to cut music in the schools,” he said. “We talked about (how) there would never be another possibility of a story (like Live’s).

Alcohol can dehydrate you.) And, sure, beer isn’t the healthiest beverage. But it’s a great excuse to grab a pint or at local breweries, including:
