Simple gifts of faith and com-

a Mount Holly Springs woman to
preserve the cherished memories
of a family legacy.
God is working with the proj-
ect for it to be a success, said
Harriett Gumby, a town native.
We could not have accom-
plished as much as we did.

Today the Mount Tabor
Church and its cemetery, located
along Cedar Street just outside
the borough, are the focal point
of a unified effort to bring to the
forefront a past mostly forgotten
except by those deeply touched
by the spirit of this one-room
sanctuary. It began last spring
with the Heart and Soul Project
and its mission to record the sto-
ries of the Carlisle area. It took on
life in May when Gumby agreed
bulk of what remains.
There is very little record of the
African American community in
town, said Lindsay Varner, direc-
tor of the Greater Carlisle Heart
and Soul Project. This is an in-
credibly important piece of his-
tory that is now starting to come
forward.
Fond memories
This catalyst for that started
last May after Varner interviewed
Harriett Gumby, the granddaugh-
ter of Elias Parker, a former slave
from Hagerstown who built the
Mount Tabor church on Cedar
Street around 1870.

Bobby Dunn of Cochranton washes Little Mabel Friday before beef judging at the Farm Show Complex in Harrisburg.
Farm Show
From A1
The eve of the 101st Penn-
sylvania Farm Show blended
anticipation and prepara-
tion. The Farm Show, Penn-
sylvanias version of a state
fair, runs from 8a.m. today
through 5p.m. Jan. 14 in the
state Farm Show Complex at
Cameron and Maclay streets.
Admission is free while park-
ing is $15 a vehicle.
The entire 24-acre Farm
Show Complex buzzed with
action on Friday. Keith Tignor

He judged 11 pairs of
molded candles and five pairs
of dipped candles, which he
said take more skill to make.
Elsewhere in the Main
Exhibition Hall, Tom Jones
of Carlisle, the Happy Bee-
keeper, coordinated 10 bee-
keepers selling honey and
honey products in the Penn-
sylvania Marketplace while
judges evaluated hundreds of
Family Living entries, down
this year perhaps because the
Farm Show for the first time
charged people $1 for each
entry.
Nicole Blascovich of New
Cumberland won second
prize for her gingerbread
house in the non-profes-
sional category. Elaine Kilker
of Enola won third prize in
the youth ages 16-19 class
for her cheerful gingerbread
house with a red, green and
white roof.
The carousel was prepared
for riders while exhibitors
showing everything from
blueberry houses to paint-
ings set up their booths.
Poultry exhibits, which
this year will be in the Ma-
clay Street lobbies, were
judged Friday in the long
hallway between the East
Hall and Main Exposition
Hall.
We had to get water to
the lobbies for the first time
since the 1940s or 1950s,
said Jason Morganstern,
Farm Show maintenance
supervisor. Once all the
barns were built, livestock
went there, not to the lob-
bies. We also had to put
ventilation fans in the win-
dows for the poultry.
Beef cattle filled the
North and Northwest halls,
them for judging. Bobbi

storytelling as a tool to gain
an understanding of what is
important to a community,
said Lindsay Varner, the lo-
cal project director.
Insight from this pro-
cess is then translated into
action through initiatives
and programs that show-
case and enhance the com-
munity, Varner said. Heart
and Soul is an outgrowth of
the Orton Family Founda-
tion that has worked with
towns across the country.
The Carlisle area was one
of four Pennsylvania com-
munities selected to host a
pilot program to see how
this method could work
statewide. In the process
of collecting stories from
Mount Holly Springs, it
was suggested that Harri-
ett Gumby be interviewed.
It was through her story
that we found out about the
church, Varner said. We
started learning more about
the family connection.
With understanding
came a sense of urgency
prompting the call to action
that continued through the
rest of the year. It started
with a simple wish from an
old woman.
Family ties
Harriett does not want
her family history to be
gone, Varner said. Her
biggest fear is she would
die, the church would be
demolished and the cem-
etery would be forgotten.
Gumby elaborated on this
during a recent interview
with The Sentinel. As one
of four remaining siblings
from a family of 11 children,
she feels duty-bound to do
all she can to preserve the
memory of the church, es-
pecially now that momen-

tum is on her side.
This is my flesh and
blood, she said. It was
my grandfathers legacy
that brought the church
into existence. That is why
I am so concerned.
Other communities have
joined together to preserve
old buildings, Gumby said.
Why cant we do some-
thing like that for my
grandfather and mother?
Born into slavery, Elias
Parker fought with the U.S.
Colored Troops during the
Civil War. He later moved to
Mount Holly Springs where
he built the church.
Gumby has fond memo-
ries of her late mother, who
was also named Harriett. A
homemaker, she was called
upon often to administer
home remedies to sick chil-
dren throughout the town.
Gumbys father worked in
one of the local paper mills
before taking a job as a jan-
itor in Harrisburg.
The black neighborhood
that flourished in the post-
Civil War years peaked in
population around 1900.
It then went into decline as
local manufacturing closed
shop and jobs went else-
where.
For a time, Gumby lived
in New Jersey before she
moved back to Mount Holly
Springs. Today she and her
sister Edna are taking care
of their older sister Esther
who used to teach Sunday
school at the church. Their
nephew Tom Gumby re-

building while it was empty

Taking action
Borough Councilwoman
Pam Still was collecting
memories on her own before
the Heart and Soul Project
came on the scene. I just
felt storytelling was im-
portant, she said. There
are a lot of older people in
Mount holly Springs. When
they are gone, their stories
are gone.
MICHAEL BUPP, THE SENTINEL
Gumby was first con-
tacted in April. That was
when she first mentioned
her family connection with
the church. Varner sat in
on an interview Still con-
ducted with Gumby on May duous job of cleaning the
19. The week prior, Varner
had arranged for experts in
history, architecture and
preservation to visit the
Mount Tabor church.
Once Harriett made us
aware of the church, we
jumped to action, Still
said. Local residents Da-
vid Toner, Chuck Crone
and Carman James started
the work by clearing away
poison ivy and some of the
vines and tree limbs that
covered the church. They
had to be careful what to
remove because some of the
plant life had interweaved
itself into the structure.
This preliminary work
was necessary because ar-
rangements had been made
for the local paper mill to
conduct a 3-D laser scan
of the church and the cem-
etery. The goal of the scan
sions and the interior layout
of the building along with
the makeup of the burial
ground. This was done over
several days in July, Varner
said.
She said this informa-
tion would prove useful if
something were to happen
to the church and the cem-
etery. The scan was an op-
portunity for Mount Holly
Springs Specialty Paper to
train workers on the use of
the equipment while giving
something back to the com-
munity.
In mid-October, vol-
unteers from Ahold, the
parent company of Giant
Food Stores, converged on
the Mount Tabor Church
during the United Way Day
of Caring. Their mission
was to remove all the fur-
niture and artifacts found
in the vestibule, sanctuary
and attic while Varner pre-
pared an inventory.
We then took on the ar-
American, white. I wonder
inside, Still said. Because
there is no electricity in
the sanctuary, workers
swept the walls and floor
the old-fashioned way until
a portable generator could
be brought in to run a shop
vac.
Since so many windows
were missing, there were
piles of leaves and dust,
Pam Still said. For several
days we work on clean-
ing using snow shovels to
throw the leaves out of the
window.
Other people soon joined
the effort. A neighbor pass-
ing by donated some plastic
sheeting that the volun-
teers used to shore up the
windows to prevent future
debris from drifting into the
church.
Unity and solidarity
The clean-up took place
from late October to early
November, Varner said.
Two weeks later, on Nov. 15,
a production crew from the
Orton Family Foundation
visited the church to shoot
footage for a publicity film
on how the Heart and Soul
Project is working to affect
positive change in commu-
nities.
Local volunteers brought
in some of the church pews,
the pulpit, some flowers and
a wreath for the filming.
Interviews were conducted
of former church members
and organizers of the vol-
unteer effort. The highlight
for Pam Still was when she
arrived at the church with
the film crew.
As we approached, the
song Amazing Grace res-
onated from inside, Still
said. Harriett Gumby had
started to sing in her beau-
tiful Gospel-like voice.
She knew the words to all
three verses. All joined in to
sing young, old, African
how rare in the history of
the church this might have
been. It just felt right. There
was so much unity and sol-
idarity. It was heartwarm-
ing.
The whole experience
of the past year has given
Gumby renewed hope that
someday in some way all
the issues associated with
the preservation of the
church would be resolved.
It is not about this high-
falutin electronic age, said
Gumby, who is in her 80s.
It is that small town atti-
tude that when a neighbor
needs a little help, we do
what we can to help. This
small town attitude still
exists. You just got to
find it.

and continuing through the
1940s as factories were clos-

believed that many blacks
left town for better work
prospects in Carlisle and
Harrisburg. No doubt the
church congregation shrank
with this migration.
The scant existence of any
history of the black popula-
tion underscores the need
to preserve as much of the
Mount Tabor church as pos-
sible, Varner said. When
you think of Mount Holly as
a whole, they have lost a lot
of their history.

Chambersburg. She recalled
with pride how her father
lived to be 92 and was once
named the grand marshal of
the town Halloween Parade.
Her stories of a church long
since inactive prompted Var-
ner and others to research a
community that began when
free blacks began to settle
along a suspected route on
the Underground Railroad to
stops in Boiling Springs and
Carlisle.
A safe haven
As a route, it makes
sense, Varner said. It was
the quietest way to get under
the cover of the mountains.
Chances are they were
drawn to Mount Holly
Springs by the lure of work
and the existence of an al-
ready established commu-
nity, Varner said. People tend
to settle where they are com-
fortable around people with
common experiences.
Though census records
confirm a sizable population
once lived along Mountain
Street, there is no way of
knowing exactly how many
attended the Mount Tabor
Church. We dont have a
congregation list, Varner
said.
It is believed the church
was in operation for about
100 years from 1870 to 1970.

MARK SCOLFORO

HARRISBURG Pennsylvania
prison officials said Friday they will
close two prisons this year, citing
a declining inmate population,
the need to save money and other
factors.
The two will be chosen from a list
of five prisons: Frackville, Mercer,
Pittsburgh, Retreat and Waymart.
A decision will be announced
Jan. 26, and the two selected are
slated to close by the end of June.
The Corrections Department said
about 800 staff and about 2,500
inmates will be affected.
In a statement, Democratic Gov.
Tom Wolf said shuttering two pris-
ons will help the state address its
budget deficit.
By investing in the things that
make Pennsylvania a better place,
like reducing recidivism and im-
proving our schools, we can en-
sure the long-term prosperity and
safety of our commonwealth, Wolf
said. I chose to invest in schools
not prisons because its both prisons based on whether or not

thing to do.

Space that recently became

Corrections Department also plans
to reduce by half the number of in-

Wetzel said halfway houses have
not been producing the results the
state wants, so their roughly 3,000
beds will be cut to about 1,500.
That should produce about $40
million in savings.
The plan is to mothball the two
prisons but also explore whether
other states or the federal gov-

White House, an apparently racially motivated crime has once
again ignited debate about how race relations have changed
under Americas first African-American president.

Environmentalists have long
recommended building more
wetlands to soak up storm surges
and tidal flooding.
The smart planning group, NJ
Future, says the state can create
a conservation zone along the
shore, where it would limit de-
velopment. Thats a good idea,
because it is already hard enough
to protect existing structures.
The state and towns should
upgrade building and zoning
codes with an eye toward resil-
ience, and stop coddling devel-
opers who dont want to invest
in safer structures.
The state and towns should
insist that new bulkheads are
high enough to withstand storm
surges as well as increased flood-
ing. Even a moderate rain can
send water levels high enough to
cause problems.
Towns have to build better
drainage systems. Antique storm
sewer systems are partly to
blame for so much of the bayside
flooding along the Jersey Shore.
These good ideas and others
have been swamped by Gov.
Christie, who has been an on-
again and off-again climate
change denier, depending which
office he was seeking. But the
good news for beach lovers is
that Christie will be out of office
in 2018.
For too long, back bay areas
have been ignored, and yet those
areas contain the highest density
of year-round residents.
By 2050, the mean high water
line along the coast is projected
to rise 18 inches. There just
might be enough time to stop
new building, protect existing
structures, and even let some
buildings in the most flood-
prone areas return to nature.
Waiting for the federal gov-
ernment, soon to be controlled
by President-elect Donald
Trump, a climate change de-
nier who is hostile to protecting
natural resources, is pure folly.
New Jersey must rely on its own
wealth of talent and knowledge
of the shoreline to protect itself.

thing better, but cast doubt
on the GOPs ability to de-

FORT LAUDERDALE,
Fla. An arriving airline
passenger with a gun in his
checked luggage opened fire
in the baggage claim area at
the Fort Lauderdale airport
Friday, killing five people
and wounding eight before
throwing his weapon down
and lying spread-eagle on
the ground, authorities and
witnesses said.
The gunman identified
by authorities as 26-year-
old Esteban Santiago, an
Army National Guard vet-
eran who served in Iraq
but was demoted and dis-
charged last year for un-
satisfactory performance
was immediately taken into
custody. His brother said he
had been receiving psycho-
logical treatment recently.
One witness said the at-
tacker gunned down his
victims without a word
and kept shooting until
he ran out of ammunition,
sending panicked travelers
running out of the terminal
and spilling onto the tar-
mac, baggage in hand.
Others crouched behind
cars or anything else they
could find to shield them-
selves as police and para-
medics rushed in to help
the wounded and establish
whether there were any
other gunmen. The airport
was shut down.
People started kind of
screaming and trying to get
out of any door they could
or hide under the chairs,
a witness, Mark Lea, told
MSNBC. He just kind of
continued coming in, just
randomly shooting at peo-
ple, no rhyme or reason to
it.
Authorities said the mo-
tive was under investiga-
tion.
This could well be
someone who is mentally
deranged, or in fact it could
be someone who had a
much more sinister motive
that we have to worry about
every day, and that is ter-
rorism, said Sen. Bill Nel-
son of Florida. We cant
conclude that.
President Barack Obama
was briefed by his Home-
land Security adviser, the
White House said.
It is legal for airline pas-
sengers to travel with guns
and ammunition as long
as the firearms are put in a
checked bag not a car-
ry-on and are unloaded
and locked in a hard-sided
container. Guns must be
declared to the airline at
check-in.
Santiago arrived in Fort
Lauderdale after taking off
from his hometown of An-
chorage, Alaska, aboard a
Delta flight Thursday night,
checking only one piece of
luggage his gun, said
Jesse Davis, police chief at
the Anchorage airport.
At Fort Lauderdale, af-
ter he claimed his bag, he
went into the bathroom and
loaded the gun and started
shooting. We dont know
why, said Chip LaMarca, a
Broward County commis-
sioner who was briefed by
investigators.
The attack exposed an-
other weak point in airport
security: While travelers
have to take off their shoes,
put their carry-on luggage
through X-ray machines
and pass through metal
detectors and full-body
scanners to reach the gates,
many sections of airports
are more lightly secured
and more vulnerable to at-
tack.
In 2013, a gunman with a
grudge against the Trans-
portation Security Admin-
istration shot and killed one
of the agencys screeners
and wounded three others
during a rampage at Los
Angeles International Air-
port.
Last November, an air-
line worker was shot and
killed near an employee
parking lot at Oklahoma
Citys airport, and in 2015
a machete-wielding man
was shot to death after he
attacked federal security
officers at the New Orleans
airport.
In the Fort Lauderdale
attack, Lea said the gunman
said nothing as he went up
and down the carousels of
the baggage claim, shoot-
ing through luggage to get
at people that were hiding.
The killer had a handgun
and went through about
three magazines before
running out of ammuni-
tion, Lea said.
He threw the gun down
and laid spread-eagle on
the ground until the officer
came up to him, Lea said.
Sheriff Scott Israel said
five people were killed and
eight were wounded. Their
condition was not dis-
closed. He said the gunman
was arrested unharmed,
with no law enforcement
officers firing any shots,
and was being questioned
by the FBI.
The airport suspended
operations as law enforce-
ment authorities rushed to
the scene and emergency
medical workers treated
the bleeding victims. Fort
Lauderdale-bound flights
already in the air were de-
layed or diverted, and those
that had yet to take off from
the airport were held on the
ground.

the replacement never ma-

I am saying to every
Republican right now: If
you, in fact, can put a plan
together that is demon-
strably better than what
Obamacare is doing, I will
publicly support repealing
Obamacare and replacing
it with your plan, Obama
said in a live-streamed in-
terview with online news
site Vox. But I want to see
it first.
Obama appeared to be
betting on the possibility
that Republicans wont
be able to unify behind an
Obamacare replacement
or that if they do, it wont
be one that will pass mus-
ter for Democrats. Though
Republicans are in agree-
ment that the law should
be repealed and replaced,
theyre at odds over what
the replacement should
look like, and particularly
over how to pay for popu-
lar elements they hope to
preserve, including cover-
age for pre-existing con-
ditions and the ability for
parents to keep children on
their plans until age 26.
Most alarming to Obama
and Democrats is the pos-
sibility of no replacement

Hate crimes
against
whites rare
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.
The beating of a mentally
disabled white man in Chi-
cago by four black assailants
broadcast on social media is
highlighting anti-white hate
crimes at a time of increased
racial strife in the United
States.
But federal statistics and
experts say anti-white in-
cidents remain a smaller
percentage of overall hate
crimes. Anti-black hate
crimes are still the largest
number of cases.
According to the 2015 FBI
hate crime statistics, the lat-
est available, there were 613
anti-white-related crimes
out of 5,850 total cases.
Thats around 10.5 percent
of all reported hate crimes,
and within the yearly aver-
age, federal numbers show.
By comparison, the FBI
reports there were 1,745
anti-black hate crimes or
about 30 percent of all re-
ported incidents. Jews were
the most targeted religious
group that year and were
victims of 11 percent of all
hate crimes.
That data also suggested
that blacks and Jews remain
disproportionally targets
of hate crimes compared to
their population as opposed
to whites. African-Ameri-
cans are only 13 percent of
the U.S. population, while
non-Hispanic whites are 61
percent.

ORLANDO, Fla. Tili-

he gained notoriety for kill-
ing a trainer in 2010 and was
later profiled in a documen-
tary that helped sway popu-

killer whales in captivity.
He will not be replaced. He
was the first of SeaWorlds
orcas to die since the com-

its orca breeding program in

Friday, SeaWorld officials
said he had serious health
issues including a persistent
and complicated bacterial
lung infection. Tilikum was
estimated to be 36 years old.
A necropsy will determine
the cause of death.
The 2010 death of Sea-

HISTORY

finding
a home
JOCELYN GECKER
Associated Press
George Lucas is no stranger
to epic struggles on the big
screen, but he didnt expect one
off-camera when it came to his
art collection.
For nearly a decade, the film-
maker has tried to build a mu-
seum to house an extensive per-
sonal collection that includes
40,000 paintings, illustrations
and film-related items. But le-
gal entanglements and other
complications have thwarted
his efforts.
After several false starts, Lucas
and his art team say they will de-
cide later this month whether to
put the museum in San Francisco
or Los Angeles, a strategy that
has stirred a California rivalry.
The prize is big, and both cities
want it badly.
This is the largest civic gift
in American history, LA Mayor
Eric Garcetti told The Associated
Press. I think Los Angeles is the
natural home for it a notion
that San Francisco officials en-
thusiastically contest.
The Lucas Museum of Nar-
rative Art, as it will be called,
promises hundreds of jobs and a
high-profile attraction and its
essentially free.
The Star Wars creator is fi-
nancing the project himself. He
plans to spend more than $1 bil-
lion to build the museum, endow
it and provide a trove of initial
artworks valued at over $400
million. Together with Chinese
architect Ma Yansong, Lucas
has proposed a sleek, futuristic
design looks like a cross between
the Guggenheim and a galactic
starfighter.
The museums bold design
and concept make clear that
the 72-year-old filmmaker sees
it as part of his legacy, and he is
increasingly impatient to break
ground.
Its not just an enormous
philanthropic gift to a city and
to the world, but it is a unique
museum in the way it is envi-
sioned, said Don Bacigalupi, an
art historian and respected mu-
seum director Lucas hired as its
founding president. Certainly,
well be looking forward to the
day we can move the art into a
museum.
The museum will not, as many
assume, be a repository for Star
Wars memorabilia.
It will, however, show how Lu-
cas spent some of his filmmaking
fortune and that his interest in
art extends beyond movies.
An avid collector for more
than 40 years, Lucas is giv-
ing the museum some 10,000
paintings and illustrations
that include dozens of Nor-
man Rockwells and works from
French impressionist Edgar De-
gas to American contemporary
artist Keith Haring. There are il-
lustrations for classic childrens
books by Beatrix Potter of Peter
Rabbit fame and Jean de Brun-
hoff, who created Babar.

NIMRUD, Iraq The giant
winged bulls that once stood
sentry at the nearly 3,000-year-
old palace at Nimrud have been
hacked to pieces. The fantastical
human-headed creatures were
believed to guard the king from
evil, but now their stone remains
are piled in the dirt, victims of
the Islamic State groups fervor
to erase history.
The militants fanaticism
devastated one of the most im-

the Middle East. But more than
a month after the militants were
driven out, Nimrud is still being
ravaged, its treasures disappear-
ing, piece by piece, imperiling
any chance of eventually re-
building it, an Associated Press
team found after multiple visits
in the past month.
With the government and
military still absorbed in fight-

wreckage of the Assyrian Em-

Faced with a copper shortage
at the beginning of World War
II, the U.S. Mint authorized ex-
periments to make pennies from
other metals, plastic and rubber.
A Tennessee company made
some from glass and failed so
spectacularly that only one
known unbroken penny remains
and it is scheduled to be auc-
tioned Thursday. Another bro-
ken piece is also known to exist.

Hiba Hazim Hamad, archaeology professor
Perhaps the only vigilant
guardian left for the ruins is an
Iraqi archaeologist, Layla Salih.
She has visited it multiple times
in recent weeks, photographing
the destruction to document it
and badgering nearby militias
to take care of it. Walking with
the AP across the broad dirt ex-
panse of the ruin, she was calm,
methodical and precise as she
pointed out things shed seen on
previous visits that were no lon-
ger in place.
Still, Salih does not despair.
She searches out reasons for
optimism.
The good thing is the rubble
to exceed $30,000.
The coin is owned by Roger
Burdette, who wrote a book about
World War II experimental coins
and purchased the piece during a
small online auction last summer
for several thousand dollars. He
declined to be more specific.
I knew pretty well what it
was from the illustrations, but I
couldnt be sure without examin-
ing it and that wasnt a possibility
without buying it, Burdette said
Tuesday. These things have been
so poorly documented.

in late 1941, the military needed

is restorable.
To an untrained eye, thats
hard to imagine, seeing the ex-

Islamic State group wreaked in
March 2015. Salih estimated that
60 percent of the site was irre-
coverable.

several palaces and temples

(900 acres) on a dirt plateau. A

Where it stood, there is now only
lumpy earth. Just past it, in the

out dies to companies willing to

Museum Put yourself in his shoes.

From A10
The museum gets its pick from
some 30,000 film-related pieces
including storyboards and cos-
tumes from The Wizard of Oz,
Casablanca, and, naturally,
Star Wars.
Theres art from comic books,
graphic novels and other popular
works that Lucas hopes will at-
tract people who dont typically
visit museums.
In 2010, Lucas first pitched
his project to San Francisco and
considered a site in the Presidio,
but the trust that oversaw the
park ultimately rebuffed him. He
then took his project to Chicago,
his wifes hometown, but preser-
vationists sued to keep it off the
lakefront.
Lengthy delays prompted Lucas
to abandon that bid in June and
change strategy.
In October, Lucas unveiled sim-
ilar but competing designs for Los
Angeles and San Francisco sites,
turning the project into a public
competition. It seems to have
worked.
Government leaders in both
cities have unanimously approved
it. And officials are quick to stress
that this time there is no appar-

ent opposition, and construction
could begin quickly ahead of a
projected 2020 finish date.
Later this month, Lucas is
convening the museums board
to decide between two distinct
locations.
In San Francisco, his project
would virtually have an island
unto itself.
The city offered Lucas a 4-acre
waterfront plot on Treasure Is-
land, a man-made creation in the
middle of the bay with cinematic
views of the city skyline.
The island was built for the 1939
Worlds Fair, then used as a World
War II naval base. These days its
populated mainly by seagulls,
boarded-up barracks, some art
studios and old warehouses, but
officials hope the museum triggers
its transformation. A massive $6
billion redevelopment project

includes apartments, hotels and
a ferry terminal.
Its a risk they would be tak-
ing, but its a bet on the future,
said Adam Van De Water, project
manager for the museum at San
Francisco City Hall. We think
his heart is here in the Bay Area.
Lucas has spent most of his life
in the San Francisco area, and Lu-
casfilm was based in the city be-
fore he sold it in 2012 to Disney Co.
You could be on Treasure Island,
where youre visible throughout
downtown San Francisco, said
Van De Water, pausing to take a
swipe at Los Angeles. Or you
could be a museum in a park with
other museums.
Los Angeles has offered Lucas
a 7-acre spot in Exposition Park,
a sprawling cultural compound
that holds three other museums
and the Coliseum, home to the
LA Rams. It has its own light rail
station and is near the main cam-
pus of the University of Southern
California, where Lucas went to
film school.
A museum should not be clois-
tered away from the people, LA
Mayor Garcetti said. We dont
live life on islands.
Exposition Park also is near
eight public high schools and
could help expose young people
to Lucas collection, Garcetti says.
If Lucas has a favorite, Baciga-
lupi wont say.
But Bacigalupi calls Treasure
Island sort of magical. Not only
does it offer stunning views, but
the island would give the museum
an iconic location on the waters
edge, which he compares to the
Sydney Opera House. And, he
says, Lucas is deeply devoted to
the Bay Area.

IS has done with other ar-
tifacts. They then wired the
entire palace with explosives
and blew it apart, along with
the temples of Nabu and of
the goddess Ishtar.
It was a brutal blow to a
site that gave the world a
wealth of startling Meso-
potamian art and deepened
knowledge about the an-
cient Mideast.
Nimrud was a capital
of the Assyrians, one the
ancient worlds earliest
and most ferocious em-
pires. Known at the time as
Kalhu, the city was the seat
of power from 879-709 BC,
an era when Assyrian armies
expanded out across the Le-
vant, capturing Damascus
and other cities, crushing
the kingdom of Israel and
turning its neighbor Judah
into a vassal.
A British-Assyrian team
first excavated Nimrud in
1945, then it was re-exca-
vated in the 1950s by Max
Mallowan. Though famous
