Johns Manville demolition slated for April completion
After more than 30 years of dormancy, the former Denison Johns Manville site may soon be ready for new life and redevelopment. Officials with the Denison Development Alliance said this week that remediation and demolition of the former transit pipe production site should be complete by April with hopes that the site can then be redeveloped into a new use.
The Inspection excels in its writing and acting
The quietly thoughtful nature of The Inspection is communicated almost right from the start of Elegance Bratton’s screenplay (he also directs this quasi-autobiographical yarn). Most films with LGBTQIA+ leads that are heavy on weighty drama depict queer characters existing in total isolation from any larger queer community. Here, though, protagonist Ellis French (Jeremy Pope) is shown encountering openly queer pals on the subway station and sharing a pivotal conversation with a self-described “old queen” in a homeless shelter. Queer lives are everywhere from the start of The Inspection and French is well-aware of both that and his own orientation. Emphasizing this lends a sense of realism and a lived-in quality to The Inspection from frame one and kicks the movie off on the right foot.

Climate crisis
The world is falling into an “abyss of risk”, said Prof Johan Rockström of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research in Germany. Reports published this week by three U.N. agencies all point to the failure of governments to make – and keep – sufficient commitments to ensure that global temperatures will not rise by more than 1.5C above pre-industrial levels, which was the target in the 2015 Paris agreement. This is the worst possible news, and arrives just a week before this year’s round of climate talks, Cop27, is due to open in Egypt.
Achievement data should discourage future school closures
Just-released data confirms some of the public’s worst fears: COVID and remote learning took an enormous toll on many students. In Pennsylvania, two decades of academic gains have been wiped out, as students are at their lowest proficiency levels in nearly two decades.

More than 15,000 people have taken to the polls early for the upcoming election. That is down, she said from the last round of mid-terms. That round saw 23,389 people vote in the first full week of early voting.
