Dad Pens Sarcastic Response to Son's 'Fahrenheit 451' Permission Slip
NEW YORK, Oct. 27 (UPI) -- A New York dad shared the sarcastic note he authored in response to his son having to obtain a permission slip to read anti-censorship novel Fahrenheit 451.Daniel Radosh, a Brooklyn father and senior writer at Comedy Central's The Daily Show with Trevor Noah, tweeted a photo of the permission slip his son, Milo, wrote at school and brought home for him to sign.
Milo's note states he must obtain his parents' permission to read Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451, which the note describes as being "set in a dystopian future where books are highly illegal, and it's the main character's job to burn them."
The slip explained why Milo needed his parents to sign off before he could read the novel in class.
"The book was challenged because of its theme of the illegality and censorship of books. One book people got most angry about was the burning of the Bible. Secondly, there is a large amount of cursing and profanity in the book," the boy wrote.
Radosh found the fact that the anti-censorship book was "challenged" to be ironic and authored a note in response to the school.
The father's response reads:
"I love this letter! What a wonderful way to introduce students to the theme of Fahrenheit 451 that books are so dangerous that the institutions of society -- schools and parents -- might be willing to team up against children to prevent them from reading one. It's easy enough to read the book and say, 'This is crazy. It could never really happen,' but pretending to present students at the start with what seems like a totally reasonable 'first step' is a really immersive way to teach them how insidious censorship can be. I'm sire that when the book club is cover and the students realize the true intent of this letter they'll be shocked at how many of them accepted it as an actual permission slip. In addition, Milo's concern that allowing me to add this note will make him stand out as a troublemaker really brings home why most of the characters find it easier to accept the world they live in rather than challenge it. I assured him that his teacher would have his back."
Some Twitter users suggested the permission slip may have indeed been a part of the lesson, but Radosh expressed doubt.
"I think it was real but I certainly hope that my imagined interpretation of teacher's intent was in fact her actual intent," he tweeted.
Milo's note states he must obtain his parents' permission to read Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451, which the note describes as being "set in a dystopian future where books are highly illegal, and it's the main character's job to burn them."
The slip explained why Milo needed his parents to sign off before he could read the novel in class.
"The book was challenged because of its theme of the illegality and censorship of books. One book people got most angry about was the burning of the Bible. Secondly, there is a large amount of cursing and profanity in the book," the boy wrote.
Radosh found the fact that the anti-censorship book was "challenged" to be ironic and authored a note in response to the school.

Top Tips for a Better Basement
(BPT) - With fewer homes for sale and good returns on the remodeling investment, more homeowners are reclaiming their lower levels and remodeling their basements.
Basements are coming out of hiding these days. And they’re doing it in style, with before-and-after transformations featured everywhere from HGTV to Pinterest and YouTube.
What’s driving this trend? A tight housing market, for one thing. With houses at a premium — and a proliferation of DIY how-to’s — more homeowners are inspired to reclaim their unused space and expand their living area.
A smart, affordable upgrade
Updating your lower level is a sound investment in your home. Remodeling magazine’s 2016 Cost vs. Value Report put the average basement remodel at $61,303, with a 70.3 percent payback — a far better investment return than adding a bathroom or garage.
Props for your property value
Depending on local regulations, the additional space can often be added to your home’s total square footage, making your market listing more appealing to buyers and potentially increasing your property value.
To recoup the most from your remodeling efforts, make sure your design and decorating choices are attractive and functional — not too quirky or customized.
Look up, look down: Banish water all around
Before you begin making decorating choices, tackle any needed repairs, including waterproofing your lower level. It’s a good idea to seal your walls and floors first, and important enough to hire a professional if you’re short on time.
And since below-grade spaces are usually cool, humid and prone to water damage, consider investing in a good dehumidifier and choosing moisture-resistant products.
Elevate your ceiling style
Ugly or damaged ceilings can ruin the look of your newly updated basement space, so take steps to repair or replace your ceiling. Plaster any cracks and replace yellowing tiles.
If you’re updating the ceiling, look for products from companies like Armstrong Ceilings that are specially treated to resist the growth of mold and mildew. From there, the sky — or the ceiling — is the limit. Savvy design choices, like coffered ceilings, or wood planks add style and the results are easier to achieve than most people think.
Stuck with an older, 2-foot x 4-foot dropped ceiling grid? There’s no need to suffer without style. Homeowners can take advantage of today’s beautiful new 2-foot x 2-foot ceiling tiles by adding 2-foot cross tees to their existing grid systems.
Flooring: Think warm and dry
Make sure your flooring choices stand up to moisture, too. Patch any cracks in the concrete floor and consider adding a subfloor if the surface slopes or is uneven.
Many homeowners gravitate to the warmth and soundproofing effect of carpeting in basements. Low-pile or Berber carpets resist wear and are inexpensive options. A moisture-barrier pad between the carpet pad and the carpet adds another level of water resistance and reassurance.
Now is a great time to finish your basement. You’ll enjoy the added living space now, and likely realize a healthy return on your investment in the future.

Freedom is not Free: Remembering Our Soldiers This Veterans Day
(BPT) - When U.S. Navy Lt. John McGrath took off on his 178th mission over North Vietnam at the age of 27, he had no idea it would end his life as a free man for more than six years. His plane was struck by anti-aircraft fire, tearing the wing and forcing him to eject from the aircraft. With a fractured back and dislocated knee, Lt. McGrath was captured and taken to "New Guy Village," a war camp in Hanoi, Vietnam, where he became a Prisoner of War (POW). Lt. McGrath was handcuffed behind bars, isolated, tortured and interrogated for more than a half decade. Back in the United States during the Vietnam War, when a soldier went missing, an American could buy a bracelet with their name on it to show solidarity and support. Nearly 5 million Americans wore POW/MIA bracelets to support Lt. McGrath, and the 600 other imprisoned soldiers as they anxiously waited for the war to end.
The veteran's journey is one that few civilians understand, despite the nearly 22 million Americans who share it. Veterans Day, Nov. 11, is a time to remember and recognize veterans who have served throughout our nation's history. It's also a time to do our part to understand their sacrifice.
Historically, Veterans Day began as Armistice Day to commemorate the end of the First World War. Now, since November 1919, we celebrate each year to honor all veterans who have protected our freedom. We can begin to repay their sacrifice by advocating for military personnel who gave some, or all, to defend our country and our rights as citizens.
The American Legion Auxiliary (ALA) is one of the nation's most prominent supporters of veterans. The nonpartisan organization, founded in 1919, is committed to advocating for veterans' issues, mentoring America's youth and promoting patriotism. It was founded to advance the mission of The American Legion, incorporated by Congress in 1919 as a patriotic veterans service organization.
The ALA believes it is each citizen's civic responsibility to support the veteran community. In 2015, ALA members donated 5 million hours of community service to the nation's veterans. Members support those who served in the Armed Forces in many ways including education scholarships, aiding shelters for homeless veterans and working with local VA hospitals to support service members.
On Veterans Day, the ALA encourages Americans to take the time to thank individuals in the Armed Forces, engage with the military and veteran community in a meaningful way to recognize their sacrifices throughout history, and take a moment to understand the experiences of soldiers like Lt. McGrath.
Recalling his homecoming in March 1973, Lt. McGrath said, "I returned to San Diego where I was greeted by my wife and two sons. The years of waiting for this moment were suddenly forgotten, and I realized how great it was to be alive, to be wanted and loved and, most of all, to be American."
For more than six years prior to his coming home, Doreen Long, then a teenager, had worn a POW/MIA bracelet bearing Lt. McGrath's name. When she rediscovered the bracelet in a jewelry box decades later, she set out to determine the fate of the honorable soldier. Long got in touch with the ALA and expressed her desire to meet Lt. McGrath and thank him for his service.
Long's dream became a reality at the ALA National Convention in 2014 when Lt. McGrath surprised her on stage. For Long, it was the opportunity to meet a true American Hero. For Lt. McGrath, it was an affirmation of the nation's gratitude for his service.

Scavello Offers Shingles Vaccines at District Office
Pen Argyl – State Senator Mario Scavello will continue his Healthy Living Series in partnership with the Pennsylvania Department of Health to offer low-cost shingles vaccine shots at his Pen Argyl District Office on Friday, October 28 from 10 AM to noon (2 N. Robinson Avenue, Pen Argyl).
The $5.00 low-cost shingles vaccine shots are available to people age 50 or older who are uninsured or underinsured. This service is not available to anyone with Medicare Part D or insurance that already covers the vaccination. The Pennsylvania Department of Health will accept a personal check or money order made payable to “Commonwealth of PA.” Cash will not be accepted.
Shingles is a painful localized skin rash, often with blisters, that is caused by the same virus that causes chickenpox. Anyone who has had chickenpox can develop shingles, which can lead to more serious diseases. Shingles is more common in people 50 years old or older, people who have medical conditions that keep the immune system from working properly or people who receive immunosuppressive drugs.
To schedule an appointment, please call the PA Department of Health at 610-250-1825.
