Referred to as the Great Memorial Day Fire of 1945, it began during the early morning hours of May 30 due to the actions of borough resident Joseph Michael Giblin, who confessed on the same day he set a fire that led to the destruction. "On the morning after the fire, Chief of Police A. P. McLaughlin and another officer are standing in the vicinity of the burned-out buildings and Giblin is seen walking down the street," said Mahanoy Area Historical Society webmaster and archivist... The fire will be featured in a special presentation at 7 p. m. Wednesday in the Mahanoy Area School District auditorium as part of a PowerPoint program showing many rare photos of the fire and its aftermath. The program will be narrated by Schuylkill Historical Fire Society President Michael J. Kitsock and Michael Glore, a lieutenant at Rescue Company No. 1 in Reading and a Pottsville firefighter. The program is sponsored by the fire society, Mahanoy Area and Schuylkill County historical societies. Coombe, who is also the room manager at the society's museum, spoke about the history of the fire and showed photos taken by local photographer Bill Kates and others in the society's museum room.

Last July 8, Sabrina Rubin Erdely , a writer for Rolling Stone , telephoned Emily Renda, a rape survivor working on sexual assault issues as a staff member at the University of Virginia. Erdely said she was searching for a single, emblematic college rape case that would show “what it’s like to be on campus now where not only is rape so prevalent but also that there’s this pervasive culture of sexual harassment/rape culture,”... Renda told Erdely that many assaults take place during parties where “the goal is to get everyone blackout drunk. “One girl I worked with closely alleged she was gang-raped in the fall, before rush, and the men who perpetrated it were young guys who were not yet members of the fraternity, and she remembers one of them saying to another ‘C’mon man, don’t you... Renda put the writer in touch with a rising junior at UVA who would soon be known to millions of Rolling Stone readers as “Jackie,” a shortened version of her true first name. Erdely said later that when she first encountered Jackie, she felt the student “had this stamp of credibility” because a university employee had connected them. She said, according to Erdely’s notes, that in September 2012, early in her freshman year, a third-year student.
