York bars plan 'First Pint' in place of the New Year's Eve 'First Night'

Mudhook Brewing Co. co-owner Jeff Lau planned the event so area bars can attract partygoers.

York, PA - If you were afraid downtown York would be empty on New Year's Eve you can rest assured: there will be a party.

After hearing confirmation that York was canceling its traditional First Night celebration, Jeff Lau, co-owner of Mudhook Brewing Co. wanted to see if New Year's Eve could be saved.

"Part of it is, in our theme of being an anchor in this community, is that we wanted to be an anchor for this kind of entertainment," Lau said.

Along with Holy Hound Taproom and the White Rose Bar and Grill, Mudhook Brewing Co. will host First Pint in honor of New Year's Eve.

Live entertainment will shut down the area of Clarke Avenue and Beaver Street and those who attend can purchase a beer inside any of the participating establishments and then enjoy it in the enclosed area, Lau said.

To go along with the theme, a pint of beer will be dropped at midnight.

"We don't get a whole lot of business on New Year's Eve," Lau said. "It might be better for us if we're hosting. Regardless, it's something for people to do in the city, even if nothing is going on in the square."

York's director of public works, Jim Gross, said Friday that they have been working closely with Lau and the other bar owners to have the event.

"I thought it was a good idea, whether we have the event at the square or not," Gross said. "They certainly compliment each other."

Gross said if someone stepped up to fund the $35,000 First Night it could take place on the square, but as of Friday, it was still off.

"We continue to have conversations with potential sponsors," Gross said.

But even without anything in the square, Lau's glad there's another choice for residents when it comes to celebrating another year.

Final details for the event will be discussed in a meeting with city officials on Monday, Lau said.

They will then determine what the cost, if any, would be for an entry fee and what discounts they might be able to offer to customers.

"It's for the good of the town," Lau said of the event, "As business people we benefit from the good of the town, too."

NASA: Apocalypse stories pose threat

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration warns that 2012 Mayan apocalypse rumors pose a real-life threat to frightened children and depressive teenagers
Some say they can't eat, or are too worried to sleep, while others say that they are suicidal, according to NASA astrobiologist David Morrison

By Damian Ghigliotty

While some are throwing fantastical Doomsday countdown parties, The National Aeronautics and Space Administration is issuing grave warnings that 2012 Mayan apocalypse rumors pose a real-life threat to frightened children and depressive teenagers.

David Morrison, an astrobiologist at NASA Ames Research Center, said on Wednesday that he receives a large number of emails and letters from worried citizens, most often from young people.

Some say they can't eat, or are too worried to sleep, while others say they are suicidal, Morrison said.

Doomsday fears: Fantastical rumors of the world's end are causing real-life concerns among frightened children and depressive teenagers, NASA scientists says

Ancient signs: The doomsday fears are based on misinterpretations of the Mayan calendar

He made that announcement during an online video 'hangout' event hosted by NASA on Google+, calling the propagation of rumors on the Internet to frighten children ‘evil.’

‘While this is a joke to some people and a mystery to others, there is a core of people who are truly concerned,’ Morrison said.

NASA, a United States government agency, recently set up an information page on its website explaining why the world is not going to end on December 21, 2012.

The apocalypse rumors and fears are based on misinterpretations of the Mayan calendar, as SPACE.com reported.

The rumors began with claims that Nibiru, a rogue planet discovered by the Sumerians, will crash into Earth on December 21, killing everyone, according to NASA’s website.

Rumor debunker: David Morrison, an astrobiologist at NASA Ames Research Center, says the world will not end on December 2011

Rumor originator: Zecharia Sitchin wrote in 1976 that he had found and translated Sumerian documents identifying a rogue planet that will destroy Earth

The origins of those rumors have been linked to the works of the late Azerbaijani-born author Zecharia Sitchin, who wrote in 1976 that he had found and translated Sumerian documents identifying the rogue planet. Sitchin died in 2010 at the age of 90.

There is no such planet, scientists say.

‘If Nibiru or Planet X were real and headed for an encounter with the Earth in 2012, astronomers would have been tracking it for at least the past decade, and it would be visible by now to the naked eye,’ NASA states on its apocalypse fear debunking page.

Other rumors -- including claims that the Earth's magnetic field will suddenly reverse and claims that the planet is heading towards a black hole at the center of the Milky Way -- were also dismissed on Wednesday.

Concerns about the planet’s demise would be better directed on more substantiated problems such as climate change, Andrew Fraknoi, an astronomer at Foothill College in Los Altos Hills, California, said.
