‘reckless driving’ or ‘union tactic’?

Boaters rescued by barge after being stranded in storm

By Kristen Doerschner kdoerschner@timesonline.com

What started out as a relaxing day of fishing for Paul Kaseman, his wife and friends turned into a terrifying experience when an unexpected storm popped up, leaving them to be tossed about on rough waters.

Kaseman, of Daugherty Township, said his group — which included his wife, Kristen, his friend Ben Burkhead and Burkhead’s two sons, ages 13 and 10 — left the Bridgewater Landings marina at about 11 a.m.

Tuesday. They spent the next few hours fishing along the Ohio River.

The group was around the area of the Beaver County Jail shortly after 1 p.m. when storm suddenly began to develop.

“I was watching the radar, as I always do, and yes it popped up,” Kaseman said. “When I saw lightning that’s when I really got scared.”

“The wind really picked up ... Waves were pounding the boat. I knew there was no way we were going to make it,” Kaseman said.

With his 15-foot Boston Whaler “heaving up and down,” Kaseman said he steered toward a TriState River Products barge in the river, and called up to the barge for help.

“They directed us around behind the barge and helped pull the boat up to them. The waves were so high we could barely get the kids from the boat up to the barge.

We were getting tossed around,” Kaseman said.

“The waves were almost coming over the bow of the boat,” he said.

He said though the boys were frightened, they were also very brave during the whole ordeal.

Once aboard the barge, Kaseman said the captain and crew were “extremely kind.” He said the crew allowed the stranded boaters to wait out the storm in their break room.

Once there was a break in the weather, Kaseman and company were able to re-board their boat and make their way back to Bridgewater.

“I’ve been boating all my life,” said the 38-yearold Kaseman. He said he was in one other scary situation in the Bahamas, but Tuesday’s situation was “by far the scariest.”

“Thank God it was there,” he said of the barge and its crew.

Striking Beaver County courthouse workers, commissioner differ on parking lot encounter

By Tom Davidson tdavidson@timesonline.com

BEAVER — A one-day strike of Beaver County employees took what county officials termed a childish turn Tuesday morning when some of the picketers complained they were nearly hit by Commissioner Daniel Camp as he was pulling into his courthouse parking space.

About 10 people were blocking the entrance to the parking lot and parted as Camp pulled in around 8:25 a.m., he said.

They tell a different story.

County public works department employee Bob Henry said he and 10 to 15 other picketers were on the Market Street side of the courthouse and walking from one curb to another when a car made a right turn into the parking area, didn’t hesitate and “drove right through us.”

The car parked, Camp got out of it and went into the courthouse without acknowledging what happened, Henry said.

“It was close,” Henry said. “I jumped out of the way. He was right behind me.”

The strikers weren’t trying to block Camp’s path, and Henry said he didn’t think Camp intentionally tried to hit anyone.

“If anything, he’s guilty of reckless driving,” Henry said. “I don’t think he did anything intentional.”

Beaver police officer Ken Stahl investigated after people including Henry notified police to file a report.

“The conclusion among the protesters and myself was that there was not criminal intent,” Stahl said.

He also interviewed Camp and reviewed courthouse video of what happened.

“Video evidence shows the protesters were standing in the roadway and they did move as Mr. Camp came in,” Stahl said. “I believe the situation was blown out of proportion due to the circumstances and emotions running high. No further action will be taken.”

“I think this is just a union tactic,” Camp said.

Commissioners Chief of Staff Joe Weidner called the allegations baseless.

“These childish tactics have no place in contract negotiations,” Weidner said in a statement.

“It wasn’t anything intentional, but it was still

More than 130 workers picketed Tuesday, Smith said. Three election department workers crossed the picket line and worked as usual, he said.

The strike came after a mediation session Monday ended with neither side willing to budge from its

Last week, union members overwhelmingly rejected the county’s latest and best contract proposal. Prior to that vote, they told the county they would strike Tuesday morning if an agreement couldn’t be reached.

The union represents employees in what’s called the “commissioners unit,” which includes clerical employees in county row offices, clerical staff in human services offices and the county

court system, the department of public works, emergency services, some workers at the jail and in the county library system, union spokesman Rick Grejda said.

Although they are legally allowed to strike, emergency service employees at the county’s 911 center will continue to work with a “skeleton crew,” Smith said.

The courthouse remained open for business Tuesday during a hectic day for commissioners as

they reacted to Shell Chemicals’ confirmation that it will build a cracker plant in Potter Township.

The union will meet June 15 to decide its next steps, Smith said. Another three-day, or even an open-ended, strike could be called for if an agreement isn’t reached, he said.

“There’s no talks planned” with county officials, he said.

“We are willing to move numbers around,” he said.

“They gave us numbers that were false. We’re more than willing to get to the table. We’re more than willing to give and take.”

Homicide suspect arrested in Kentucky Anyone can be a victim of domestic violence

By Kate Malongowski kmalongowski@timesonline.com

BEAVER — A Brighton Township man accused of murdering his girlfriend texted his father that voices in his head made him do it, according to a police report.

Baker Edward Lowe Baker Jr., 26, of 265 Center Drive, was charged by state police late Monday with killing Addaleigh Huzyak in her apartment on Third Street in Beaver.

Baker was arrested in Kentucky around 3:45 a.m.

Tuesday.

According to a police report, two of Baker’s co-workers at a Beaver gas station went to police around 9 a.m. Monday saying they had reason to believe that Baker injured Huzyak. The two co-workers told police Edward Baker Sr., Baker’s father, stopped in the gas station early Monday after his son had missed his midnight shift and told them he had killed Huzyak and was on the run. His father also told them that his son was suicidal and not to tell anyone, police said.

While being interviewed

by Beaver police at 1:45 p.m. Monday, Baker’s father received a text message from Baker Jr. that said, “The voices made me do it I can’t take ‘em anymore they won’t go away.”

Police found Huzyak, 30, in her second-floor apartment at 307 Third St. She was in her bed with injuries to her face, head, neck and arms, according to the police affidavit.

Baker’s father also told police he found an empty box of .22-caliber ammunition in his son’s room.

Following an autopsy Tuesday, Beaver County Coroner David Gabauer said the cause of death was a single gunshot wound to the head. Beaver County District Attorney David Lozier described the scene as “complex.”

Baker now is also facing charges in Kentucky.

Darlene Thomas, executive director of the Women’s Center of Beaver County, said Addaleigh Huzyak’s murder shows that anyone can be a victim of domestic violence.

“It really brings home that issue that domestic violence can happen to anyone,” Thomas said. “It is our neighbors, the people who live across the street. It’s not that our community isn’t affected.”

Huzyak’s death likely marks the first domestic homicide in Beaver County since 2014, she said.

Thomas urged people to be proactive if they believe anyone to be in danger of a loved one.

“Be that support person. Encourage them to reach out and seek help.They can talk with us anonymously if they’re uncomfortable giving their name,” Thomas said of the organization’s HELPLINE at 724-775-0131.

Baker was found sleeping in his car at a rest stop in Winchester off Interstate 64 around 3:30 a.m. Tuesday, Winchester Police Capt.

James Hall said. When police attempted to wake Baker, he became confrontational and drove away, dragging an officer a short distance and almost hitting two other officers with his vehicle, Hall said.

Baker lead police on a several-mile chase stretching into the next county, where he was eventually arrested.

Baker has been charged with three counts of wanton endangerment and one count of fleeing police, Hall said.

Baker Jr. is listed as a lifetime Megan’s Law registrant stemming from charges filed by Beaver County detectives in 2010.

In that case, detectives said Baker Jr. lured an 18-yearold woman to Buttermilk Falls in Homewood, where he knocked her down, took her keys and phone, and choked her and raped her.

Baker Jr. pleaded no contest in January 2012 to a charge of aggravated indecent assault by forcible compulsion. He was sentenced to one to two years in the Beaver County Jail, followed by eight months’ probation, in addition to the Megan’s Law requirements. According to online court documents, he was also ordered to undergo a mental health evaluation.

According to the Megan’s

Law website, he last checked in with state police May 27.

The case marks the first homicide in the borough in nearly 25 years. The last homicide in Beaver was a murder-suicide on Oct. 22, 1992. In that incident, Charles Scheibner, 77, shot his wife, Vivian Scheibner, 74, in the neck and then shot himself in the head in their Second Street home.

Neighbors who live near the apartment building where Huzyak was killed described the area as kid-friendly, neighborly and quiet.

Mary Zeh said she’s lived in Beaver for 18 years.

“Nobody, from what I gathered, feels threatened or scared or is going to move out of Beaver over one incident like this. We still feel very secure in our homes,” Zeh said.

Emily Tibero, who moved to Beaver with her family last year, said neighbors offered to help in various ways while she renovated her home. She knows many of her neighbors and their children often play together.

“We all understand as adults that anything can happen anywhere at anytime,” Tibero said. “Of course, we’re all a little shaken up. It literally happened in our backyard.”

Several other residents declined to speak with The Times, but most said they still felt safe in Beaver.

WILLIAM L. HOCH, DMD, PC

HARRISBURG (AP) — Lawmakers voted overwhelmingly Tuesday to loosen Pennsylvania’s tightly controlled liquor system by letting groceries and other outlets sell takeout wine and by formalizing beer sales in convenience stores that have begun as a result of court cases.

The House voted 157-31 to send the proposal to the desk of Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf after a debate in which members said the changes carried considerable public support.

“What we’re trying to do today is exactly what my constituents would like to see take place,” said Rep. Lee James, R-Venango.

The bill that passed the Senate in December — with most Democrats opposed — would let some 14,000 holders of takeout beer licenses sell up to four bottles of wine to a customer. It would allow takeout wine sales in licensed restaurants, bars, hotels, supermarkets and delis.

Wolf issued a statement calling the measure “historic liquor modernization legislation that provides greater customer convenience” and promising to review the bill “to ensure it meets my goals of enhancing the customer experience, increasing much-needed revenue to help balance our budget and bringing our wine and spirits system into the 21st century.”

The bill, backed Tuesday by 46 Democrats, drew strong objections from the head of the union that represents state liquor store clerks.

“We’re opposed to it and think it’s crazy that we would do this,” said Wendell Young IV, presi-

BEER SALES

DIRECT SHIPMENT

Pennsylvania consumers could have wine shipped directly to them by private wine wholesalers.

Liquor sales would be allowed 24 hours a day, compared with 19 hours under current law.

It will not affect sales of hard liquor or result in closure of Pennsylvania’s roughly 600 state-owned stores, but Young warned it will undermine the finances of the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board.

House Majority Leader Dave Reed, R-Indiana, said he saw the bill as a step toward liquor privatization and noted it will produce about $150 million in new revenue for the cash-strapped state government.

“We think this puts wine into the private sector like consumers have been looking for for years,” Reed told reporters. “There are certainly other components to it that will help modernize the system, but overall we view this as the first step to fully privatizing our liquor system in Pennsylvania.”

Rep. Gene DiGirolamo of Bucks County, one of just three Republicans to vote against the bill Tuesday, said alcohol abuse represented a major problem.

“We are going from 620 state stores that sell alcohol across the state of Pennsylvania to potentially 15-20,000 outlets that will now be allowed to sell alcohol,” he said.

“Is this what we need for our state of Pennsylvania? I don’t think so.”

Supporters have said supermarkets and big-box retail stores would likely purchase takeout licenses from current holders or the state. The proposal also would give stateowned stores more lati-

Car bomb attack targeting police kills 11 in Istanbul

1845

By Michael Rubinkam

ISTANBUL (AP) — A car bomb hit a police vehicle in Istanbul during the morning rush hour on Tuesday, killing 11 people and wounding 36, the fourth bombing to hit the city this year.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility, but Turkey has seen a recent increase in violence linked to Kurdish rebels or to the Islamic State group which has found recruits and established cells in the country.

Speaking at the scene of the blast in Beyazit district, Istanbul Gov. Vasip Sahin said a bomb placed inside a car detonated as a police vehicle passed by. The dead were seven police officers and four civilians. At least three of the wounded were in serious condition.

The Associated Press

DEER LAKE, PA. — He called himself “The Greatest,” but Muhammad Ali was humble, friendly and eminently approachable whenever he came to this out-of-the-way spot in northeastern Pennsylvania to train throughout the 1970s.

Since Ali’s death last week at age 74, residents have been coming to the rustic hilltop camp where he sparred with a young Larry Holmes and prepared for his epic fights against George Foreman and Joe Frazier. In paying their respects, they recalled how one of the most famous people on the planet became a familiar presence at the edge of Pennsylvania’s coal region.

It’s hard to imagine now, with athletes and celebrities so cloistered from the public.

But 40 years ago, locals regularly showed up at Ali’s training camp — and he welcomed them in. He got out into the community, too, eating at local diners and running on the country roads, waving back at residents who waved at him.

Every old-timer around here seems to have an Ali tale.

James Ferenchick, 71, Orwigsburg, recalls stopping at the camp early one morning before work and running into a worker hooking a horse to a carriage. Ferenchick told the worker he was there to see Ali. The worker fetched Ali from his cabin, and Ali gave him an autograph.

“He says to me, ‘Are you in a big hurry?’ I said, ‘I have to go to work, but no, I can be late.’ He says, ‘Jump in the carriage.’”

And that’s how Ferenchick found himself on a 45-minute

MICHAEL RUBINKAM/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

A sign is displayed inside the gym at Muhammad Ali’s training camp in Deer Lake, Pa., on June 6. buggy ride with the champ, up and down Sculps Hill.

“I’m sitting there with goosebumps,” Ferenchick said. “It knocked me over.”

The camp had its share of famous visitors, too, including Elvis Presley, who went antiquing with Ali. But locals considered Ali as one of their own, Ferenchick said.

Growing up in nearby Pottsville, Noreen Marzano visited Deer Lake with her parents many times to watch him spar. He’d do magic tricks for the kids, “then he would show us how the magic trick worked, which I don’t think he was supposed to do,” she said.

She said her father, a retired ophthalmologist, removed a particle from Ali’s eye after the Rumble in the Jungle, his 1974 title fight with Foreman. Ali gave him an autographed picture that hangs on Marzano’s wall.

“It was a very different time. There was no entourage, no security keeping people back.

There was always a crowd here and he loved it,” said Marzano, 58, of Clinton, N.J., who stopped by the camp this week after visiting her parents.

“For someone who was the most famous athlete in the world at the time, he was just so

genuine and welcoming to everyone,” she said.

Ali bought this wooded 5-acre tract in 1972 and installed 18 primarily log buildings, including a gym, a dining hall, a mosque, visitors’ cabins and a horse barn. He trained at Deer Lake until his last fight in 1981.

It looks much as it did in Ali’s day. His desk and typewriter occupy an office near the gym. The dining hall has the original stove and kitchen table.

His footprints can be seen on the woodplanked ceilings — Ali had trod on them while the camp was under construction.

Ali sold it in 1997 to the noted martial arts instructor George Dillman, who trained Ali and who once operated it as the Butterfly & Bee Bed and Breakfast. Two martial arts camps are held there each year.

Colin flooded roads and caused thousands of power outages in Florida and a team investigated a possible tornado related to the storm that damaged homes and toppled trees in Jacksonville. The city of St. Petersburg said it was pumping sewage into Tampa Bay because its sewer system has been overloaded with rainwater infiltrating leaky sewer pipes.

campaign 2016 » the race for the white house

History now in hand, Clinton faces voters as presumptive nominee SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — History already in hand, Hillary Clinton will celebrate becoming the first woman to lead a major American political party Tuesday following votes in California, New Jersey and four other states — contests Clinton hopes send her into the general election in strong standing.

Clinton reached the 2,383 delegates needed to become the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee on the eve of Tuesday’s voting, according to an The Associated Press tally. Her total is comprised of pledged delegates won in primaries and caucuses, as well as superdelegates — the party officials and officeholders who can back a candidate of their choosing.

Clinton greeted news of her achievement with a measured response, wary of depressing turnout and eager to save the revelry for a big victory party Tuesday night in Brooklyn. During a campaign stop in California, Clinton told a cheering crowd she was on the brink of a “historic, unprecedented moment,” but said there was still work to do in her unexpectedly heated primary battle with Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders.

“We’re going to fight hard for every single vote,” Clinton declared.

Heading into Tuesday’s voting, Clinton has 1,812 pledged delegates and the support of 571 of the 714 superdelegates, according to the AP count.

The AP surveyed the superdelegates repeatedly in the past seven months. While they can change their minds, those

counted in Clinton’s tally have unequivocally told the AP they will support her at the party’s summer convention.

During a rally Monday evening in San Francisco, Sanders said a victory in California would give him “enormous momentum” in his bid to push the Democratic primary to a convention fight. Sanders is urging superdelegates to drop their support for Clinton before the gathering in Philadelphia, arguing he is a stronger candidate to take on presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump.

But Sanders has so far been unable to sway the superdelegates, and there were signs Monday that he was taking stock of his standing in the race. Speaking to reporters, Sanders said he planned to return to Vermont on Wednesday and “assess where we are” following the California results.

The senator’s comments came on the heels of a weekend phone call with President Barack Obama, who has stayed out of the Democratic primary to date but is poised to endorse Clinton as early as this week.

“The president intends certainly through the fall, if not earlier, to engage in this campaign,” White House spokesman Josh Earnest said. “That’s an opportunity the president relishes.”

Obama and Clinton battled ferociously for the Democratic nomination in 2008. Tuesday marks eight years to the day Clinton conceded to Obama in an emotional speech where she noted she was unable to “shatter that highest, hardest glass ceiling.”

a party’s polarizing force Now that Hillary is Democrats’ clear nominee, will the superdelegate debate finally die down?

By David Weigel The Washington Post

Rachel Binah was watching TV in her California home when the bad news came through: Hillary Clinton had effectively won the Democratic presidential nomination. Binah, a superdelegate who had pledged to remain uncommitted until Tuesday’s primary, was perfectly ready to back Clinton.

But she bristled at fellow superdelegates pulling the trigger instead of voters. The hard work of healing the party had gotten harder — and for what, a 24-hour scoop?

“I believe everybody should have a chance to vote without feeling it doesn’t count,” Binah said. “There’s enough being discussed on TV already with jumping ahead like this. Even the people who were talking about it on TV seemed to be embarrassed by what they were doing.”

Binah, a longtime environmental activist, had already spent months apologizing for her hardwon party role. There were 719 superdelegates, activists whose votes are not bound to any primary, and 517 of them had been accused of “rigging” the primary for Clinton by endorsing her ahead of the party convention in

July, when they will actually cast their votes.

The rest were shamed for allowing this system to exist. A collection of elected officials, union representatives and local activists, who had spent years building the party, were suddenly agents of oligarchy. Since their creation in 1982 by a Democratic Party that wanted to give insiders a greater convention role, superdelegates had never flouted the will of the voters.

They hadn’t this year, either. Yet on Tuesday, the conservative New York Post ran a cover with a cartoon of Clinton crawling across a finish line; the liberal New York Daily News columnist Shaun King condemned the “nefarious and underhanded” act.

“This is the perfect symbolic ending to the Democratic Party primary,” scoffed Glenn Greenwald in The Intercept, a magazine that has run multiple critical exposés of lobbyists serving as superdelegates.

“The nomination is consecrated by a media organization, on a day when nobody voted, based on secret discussions with anonymous establishment insiders and donors whose identities the media organization — incredibly — conceals.”

In a blowout primary like 2000 or 2004, the existence of superdelegates can slip right past the electorate. In 2008, the superdelegates became infamous — and essential.

That year, as in this one, they helped the party’s front-runner cross the

threshold by releasing endorsements around the final primary.

The irony was that the 2008 election, a near-tie, ended with pro-Clinton superdelegates flipping to support then-Sen. Barack Obama. (Binah was among them.) The 2016 cycle began with superdelegates rallying around Clinton, and ended with Sen. Bernie Sanders getting his teeming crowds to jeer at how these dinosaurs of the establishment padded her lead “before a single vote was cast.”

Yet by the end of Tuesday’s voting in six states, Clinton had won a majority of pledged delegates, too — meaning that even if superdelegates hadn’t existed this year, she still would have won the nomination.

Commissioners welcome longawaited decision

By Tom Davidson tdavidson@timesonline.com

BEAVER — Four years of work by government officials and business leaders culminated in an early-morning telephone call that the Beaver County Commissioners said they welcomed: Shell Chemicals confirmed it will build an ethane cracker plant in Potter Township.

“I got a call at 6:37 a.m. this morning, and I haven’t been able to get off the phone since. I’m excited,” Commissioner Tony Amadio said.

Commissioners Sandie Egley and Daniel Camp received similar calls.

“I’ll take that call at 6 in the morning,” Camp said.

“The board of commissioners will do everything we can to foster this economic development in Beaver County,” Camp said.

Egley sent her initial comment by text message.

“This announcement by Shell has the potential to be a game changer not just for Beaver County but for the entire region. The board of commissioners would like to officially welcome Shell as our newest residents, and we look forward to continued cooperation for many years to come,” Egley wrote.

Egley called it “another great day for Beaver County” in a news release issued by the county later Tuesday morning.

The news was gratifying for Amadio, who has been in office since before Shell started considered

locating a plant here in 2012.

“Everything they said they were going to do, they did,” Amadio said. “When Shell came here four years ago, they laid out their plan, and sure enough they followed their plan to a T.” He lauded the cooperation of officials from all levels of government who came together to work with Shell.

“It took (everyone) to come together to make this happen,” Amadio said. “It was very exciting to see it happen, and it was more exciting to get the call I got at 6:37 this morning.”

The decision will mean the return of good, familysustaining jobs to the region, he said — “the kind of jobs we used to have.”

“We’re going to be able to keep our people here in the region, here in Beaver County,” Amadio said.

“I think it’s a great opportunity, a great decision,” former Commissioner Joe Spanik said. “Now this takes speculation off the table.”

It signals the go sign for other development to start in Beaver County that hinged upon Shell’s decision, Spanik said.

That development is going to “blow up” because of the news, Spanik said.

“It just fell right into place,” he said.

It’s good news for the county and the region, former Commissioner

SHELL CONFIRMS DECISION TO BUILD ETHANE CRACKER PLANT ON POTTER TOWNSHIP SITE jstonesifer@timesonline.com

POTTER TWP. — Shell Chemicals will build an ethane cracker plant in Beaver County.

According to a news release sent early Tuesday, Shell said main construction on the Ohio River site will start in 18 months, with “commercial production expected to begin early in the next decade.”

About 6,000 construction jobs are expected to come to the region during construction and another 600 permanent jobs will come when the plant goes online.

The decision to build a cracker here “demonstrates the growth of Shell in chemicals and strengthens our competitive advantage,” according to the news release.

Shell decided to build here for many reasons, one of which is Beaver County’s proximity to existing customers.

Officials said in a statement that 70 percent of Shell’s North American polyethylene customers are within a 700-mile radius of Pittsburgh, while western Pennsylvania also offers an abundance of gas feedstock.

As a result of Shell building here, the company’s customers “will benefit from shorter and more dependable supply chains, compared to supply from the Gulf Coast.”

Shell announced in March 2012 it was considering the site in Potter Township for a new location.

The plant is expected to cost at least $2 billion to build.

Jack Manning, president of the Beaver County Chamber of Commerce, said Tuesday morning that the importance and ramification of Shell’s decision can’t be overstated.

“It truly is a once-in-a-lifetime investment, a multibillion-dollar project like this and all the potential ancillary business that

Wait: Not everyone is praising Shell Chemicals’ decision

By Jared Stonesifer jstonesifer@timesonline.com

POTTER TWP. — Shell Chemicals’ decision to build an ethane cracker plant here has been lauded by many as a positive change for Beaver County, but not everybody is praising the move.

Joseph Minott, executive director of the Clean Air Council, was blunt in his assessment of what the cracker plant means for Beaver County.

“There needs to be a recognition that this will be a humongous source of pollution in the community,” he said. “These are extremely large, complex facilities.”

Perhaps his biggest concern and disappointment is that Shell will not install fence-line monitoring devices that would measure the amounts of gases and other substances that are leaving the Potter Township site.

“We had thought (Shell) understood the impor-

tance of fence-line monitoring,” Minott said, adding that the Clean Air Council had pleaded with Shell to install them on numerous occasions.

“They have fence-line monitoring at other plants.

It seems somewhat unconscionable they wouldn’t do it in this community.”

Minott said it was “frustrating” and he’s “literally wondering why” Shell wouldn’t install fence-line monitoring here.

Bob Schmetzer, a South Heights councilman, has been a skeptic of the project for many years. He said he’s repeatedly questioned Shell officials about environmental concerns surrounding the plant and how it might affect local residents.

“What are they going to do to protect the community?” he said. “There is a major concern of health, safety and welfare in all of our communities.”

could come with it,” Manning said. “This really is a generational sea change for Beaver County.”

Manning, who has kept his fingers on the pulse of the project for four years, said his first reaction was “relief” when hearing the news.

“It’s an exciting day,” he said.

Manning was traveling to Harrisburg on Tuesday morning to meet with Beaver County legislators on unrelated business.

He said the context of his conversations with those legislators will now have a different flavor.

“It should make for very pleasant and interesting conversation,” he said.

Rebecca Matsco, chairwoman of Potter Township’s board of supervisors, said Shell’s decision is the culmination of four years of planning, preparing and hoping.

“Now the work really begins,” she said.

Matsco said she expects the business landscape of Potter to change, but she’s not quite sure how. But it won’t just change Potter, she said.

“This is a very big deal for Beaver County,” she said. “We have needed this economic shot in the arm, but we are not especially well positioned to take advantage of it, so my hope is this will challenge us to move forward in some of the areas we really need to do so.”

Matsco said work remains on improving the county’s education system, workforce development and land-use planning.

“We have ways we could improve the way we function as a county and within the region, so I think this represents the opportunity and motivation to do that,” she said.

The last four years have been a “journey,” Matsco said, “but I am honestly so excited about the future.”

“We have great relationships in place, and I think Shell will make a good neighbor for us and, I hope, for the region,” she said.

“This is certainly going to change things.”

Gov. Tom Wolf also reacted to the news, saying it is “gamechanging” for Beaver County and the region as a whole.

“The success of this project is part of a much-needed, longerterm plan to translate our abundant resources to make Pennsylvania a leader in downstream production. The commitment of the Shell cracker plant in western Pennsylvania is an important step toward this goal,” Wolf said.

WHAT EXACTLY DOES AN ETHANE CRACKER PLANT DO? According to Shell officials, the plant will take ethane derived from the Marcellus and Utica shales and heat it, or “crack” it, into ethylene.

The ethane will be heated to temperatures greater than 1,500 degrees in one of the cracker’s seven furnaces.

The ethylene will then be put through a process involving intense pressure, after which a chemical reaction will take place. A cooling process will in

POTTER TWP. — Shell Chemicals on Tuesday made the decision to build a multibillion-dollar ethane cracker plant in Beaver County, and the ramifications of that decision will be felt here for decades, experts said.

“This is a humongous win for Beaver County, and there’s going to be a ripple effect that goes out through the tri-state area and beyond,” said R.T. Walker, a vice president at CBRE, the largest commercial

Walker said his group has already been in contact with national and global companies “to move into Beaver County or to relocate or expand into this region.”

“They were just waiting for

this announcement, and the day has finally come,” Walker said.

Walker said Shell’s decision is “phenomenal,” and it will usher in an “exciting period of time for the region.”

Elected officials offer praise, political shots after decision

By J.D. Prose jprose@calkins.com

POTTER TWP. — As state legislators who have worked to bring an ethane cracker plant to Beaver County for four years celebrated Shell Chemicals’ decision Tuesday, the reaction from other elected officials ranged from optimism to overtly political.

“We cannot underestimate the significance of this project for Beaver County and western Pennsylvania,” U.S. Rep. Keith Rothfus, R-12, Sewickley, said in a statement. “It will create thousands of good-paying jobs and make western Pennsylvania more competitive in the global economy for years to come.”

Rothfus said the plant will “attract more businesses” to the region and he took the opportunity, much like state Rep. Rob Matzie, D-16, Ambridge, did, to credit former Republican Gov. Tom Corbett for working to bring Shell to the site along the Ohio River.

Corbett successfully pushed for $1.65 billion in tax credits to entice Shell to the Potter Township site.

“This has been a long process, and many have been involved,” Rothfus said. “One cannot forget the good work Gov. Corbett

and Beaver County’s state legislators did to make this day happen.”

U.S. Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Lehigh County, said in a campaign statement that the decision was “further proof of how Marcellus shale and the development of natural gas is a progrowth, pro-jobs game changer for Pennsylvania that will expand our economy and increase paychecks.”

But Toomey also used the moment to take aim at not only Democratic challenger Katie McGinty, but also Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton, claiming that their policies would hurt energy and manufacturing in the state.

McGinty, though, avoided taking a shot a Toomey in her statement. “Our commonwealth has a rich history as a national leader in manufacturing, and the Beaver County ethane cracker plant promises to live up to that legacy,” she said. “This project will put thousands of people to work in good, family-sustaining jobs, while restoring and bringing new life to the Horsehead smelter site.”

Toomey’s Pennsylvania counterpart, U.S. Sen. Bob Casey, D-Scranton, said the cracker plant “has the potential to provide a significant economic boost

to Beaver County and all of western Pennsylvania” before recalling his efforts to lobby Shell and improve the region’s neglected waterways.

“This is an economic opportunity made possible by the skill and hard work of the community,” Casey said. “This is a region that for decades has invented its own future and is doing so once again.”

Allegheny County Executive Rich Fitzgerald released a statement that did not mention Beaver County, but couched the decision as a victory for the “Pittsburgh region.”

“The project is monumental; the building of this plant will be equivalent to the construction of 25 stadiums,” Fitzgerald said.

“This announcement accelerates our growth to a next level and will provide even more opportunities for our young people.”

Fitzgerald lauded Gov. Tom Wolf and everyone involved as well as the trade unions, United Steelworkers, state legislators, the Allegheny Conference and the Marcellus Shale Coalition.

“This multibillion-dollar investment will bring economic growth to our region now and for generations to come,” he said, “and we thank Shell for their decision to invest here.”

“This is a generational announcement today.

This is going to have an impact on my son and future generations.”

‘IT’S A BIG THING FOR BEAVER COUNTY’

By Jared Stonesifer jstonesifer@timesonline.com

POTTER TWP. — Gov. Tom Wolf didn’t mince words when talking about Shell Chemicals’ decision to build an ethane cracker plant in Potter Township.

“It’s a big thing for Beaver County, and it’s a big thing for Pennsylvania,” Wolf said. “It’s the biggest investment made in Pennsylvania since World War II.” Wolf said in an interview with The Times that he learned about the decision during a conference call with Shell officials early Tuesday morning. The governor said he was “elated” when those officials confirmed they were building in Beaver County.

“This is not just another manufacturing facility we were fortunate enough to land,” Wolf said from Harrisburg. “This could lay the foundation for a whole new industry.”

The governor said the phrase “game changer” is often overused, but, in this situation, it is “absolutely appropriate.”

The credit in luring Shell here doesn’t belong to any one person, although Wolf was quick to credit his predecessor, Tom Corbett, in giving tax credits to Shell as an incentive to build here.

But what really attracted Shell wasn’t any one politician or leader, Wolf said.

“Ultimately what sold Shell — and I asked them that this morning in our meeting — were fundamentals. Pennsylvania’s location, the fact we have the natural resources right here, the fact we have a really good workforce, the fact we have shown them a commitment through (tax credits),” Wolf said. “They’re here because they want to make a long-term investment and want to see a long-term return.”

Wolf also took time to address concerns voiced by environmentalists that the plant would bring great economic benefit at the cost of detrimental environmental effects.

He specifically pointed out that officials at the Department of Environmental Protection have “done their homework” during and after the permitting process, and he’s confident the right safeguards are in place to protect local residents.

“Good jobs, really good-paying jobs are coming to an area that really needs good-paying jobs, but it can’t be at the cost of the environment,” Wolf said. “DEP has done a good job in terms of making sure that Shell has gone through all of the different procedures of the permitting phase.”

Wolf added he’s confident “we’re going to end up with a strong economy and a very healthy environment.”

Commissioners welcome longawaited decision to build plant county, from a6

Dennis Nichols said.

“It’s probably the biggest news from an economic point of view in 100 years,” Nichols said. “This will have a major economic impact for our whole region.”

The announcement will allow other development that hinged upon the announcement to move forward, Nichols said. It marks the culmination of four years of steady progress by a bevy of local, county, state and federal elected officials and business leaders, he said.

“We worked very hard to make this happen,” he said.

The move didn’t happen in a vacuum, he said. “We all kind of pulled together,” Nichols said.

The sitting commissioners represent three generations of Beaver County residents and their reactions to the news was shaped by their ages.

At 65, Amadio remembers growing up in West Aliquippa thinking that snow was naturally speckled with black because of the soot he lived with in the shadow of Jones and Laughlin Steel Co.’s sprawling Aliquippa plant.

“It’s the first time in two generations that we’re going to be building instead of tearing down,” he said. “We spent the last generation tearing down the mills and the generation before that hoping steel would return.

Hopefully, now, we’re going to see the rebirth of Beaver County and our whole region.”

The 27-year-old Camp has a different perspective because the mills have been gone for most of his lifetime.

“My generation’s never seen Beaver County when it was booming,” Camp said. “We’re on the verge of seeing that happen again. It’s great news for everyone in Beaver County.”

Camp grew up in Rochester.

“This is the piece of the puzzle everyone’s been waiting for,” Camp said. “This is only a positive thing as we look forward to the future.”

Egley, who just turned 50, can remember when the mills were running strong, but has also lived through the decline of the region’s industrial base.

“From my viewpoint, this starts an upswing for a new era in this region,” Egley, of Beaver, said.

“This is big. All of the United States is going to be looking at this as being the revitalization of manufacturing in the United States,” Egley said. “From this point on, the region will be in hyperdrive and we want to think smart and strategically.”

It’s important for the county to plan as things move forward, “placing development where it belongs,” she said.

“I never want to lose our small, hometown charm,” Egley said.

“Our neighborhoods that have cobblestone streets and our small business owners who’ve kept their doors open, working paycheck-to-paycheck.”

She called it a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the area and noted Shell’s already-proven commitment to the region and to operate with a focus on safety, the environment and the good of the community, she said.

“I’d like to welcome Shell to western PA,” Egley said. “The board of commissioners will do

their very best to promote and capitalize on this for the health of Beaver County. The economic growth that this brings will be substantial.”

“I think the board’s going to look forward to … all the extra economic development,” Camp said.

Amadio said he’s happy to have played a small role in enticing Shell to locate here.

“I’m just so happy to be a part of that,” he said.

It hearkens back to the dawn of the steel industry, he said.

“It’s going to be the catalyst for development here,” Amadio said.

“I’m very excited about this. I put a lot of time in this, a lot of energy. I’m just a small, tiny part of it.”

Spanik and Nichols also played a big role in promoting the county to Shell, and Amadio said all three commissioners made trips to Louisiana to learn more about cracker plants in the last four year.

“We looked at the cause and effect,” Amadio said. “This is going to be the largest cracker plant in North America. I think it’s the perfect fit for us.”

The development is an example of government at all levels working together, Amadio said.

The Central Valley School District, Center and Potter township officials, the Center Township water and sanitary authorities worked with state and federal officials, he said.

“You had all levels of local government, all working together to try to bring this plant to fruition and it worked. I think we’re going to be good partners, good neighbors.”

Not everyone is praising Shell decision health, from a6

are “some serious safety concerns that still linger,” particularly with air quality and how the plant could negatively affect it.

He noted that for many years the air in western Pennsylvania has been rated as some of the poorest in the country, and Schmetzer wondered how Shell will make it any better.

“It’s been reported that our air is so bad it’s a ‘Double F,’ ” he said. “So I asked the (Department of Environmental Protection) what they’re going to do. Wait until it’s 27 F until they do something?”

The plant will be built close to Interstate 376, the Beaver Valley Mall and “heavy residential concentrations” in Center and Vanport townships, he said.

Mike Deelo, president of

Beaver Council, said Tuesday that many residents in the borough have had concerns about air and water quality, as well as noise and light issues.

But as far as he can tell, Deelo said Shell has been responsive to those concerns.

“These are all important concerns, and they continue to be there, and we’ve shared that with Shell,” Deelo said. “But I’m confident our concerns are on their radar and they are addressing them.”

Despite those concerns, Deelo said he’s “pleased” with Shell’s decision, “which we greet with a great deal of enthusiasm.”

Residents along River Road in Beaver last year protested Shell’s clearing of trees along the Ohio River opposite of the community, although no one would go on record with those concerns.

Larry Schweiger, president of the environmental group Penn Future, said Tuesday he’s concerned about several aspects of the project.

“I’m really skeptical about the number of jobs they say it will create, but I’m also concerned about air quality,” he said. “It’s a project that has environmental risks associated with it and also has a taxpayer burden (because of tax credits) and questionable amounts of new jobs created.”

Davitt Woodwell, president of the Pennsylvania Environmental Council, said he trusts the DEP is “doing their job with this, and they’re pretty adamant that they were.

“This is one of those very hard situations of balancing environmental concerns and economic development interests,” he said.

“We’re looking forward to seeing what happens.”

But now that Shell has actually decided to build here?

“You want to talk about marketing?” he said. “You can’t pay for marketing Beaver County in a way that this is going to. It’s unquantifiable. You can’t get this kind of publicity even if you’re paying for it.”

If Shell’s decision put Beaver County on the map, the decision to build here will keep it on the map, Palmer said.

Jack Manning, president of the Beaver County Chamber of Commerce, agreed that Shell’s decision unleashes “unlimited potential” for business spinoffs in the county.

“It really does have unlimited potential to bring small manufacturing, business, trucking, research,” Manning said. “It has all kinds of potential.

It’s an enormous deal for the county, to be sure.”

The news didn’t just have Beaver County officials talking. Gov. Tom Wolf said the decision is “game changing” for the county, while officials in Allegheny County touted it as a huge win for the region.

Dennis Yablonsky, CEO of the Allegheny Conference on Community Development, said the decision is the largest industrial investment in the Pittsburgh region in a generation.

“We believe that a capital investment of this magnitude indicates to other companies in the energy, petrochemical and plastics industries that southwestern Pennsylvania should be on their shortlist of locations for new facilities and expansions,” he said.

Pat Nardelli, an official with Castlebrook Development Group and a prominent developer in Beaver County, admitted that the Shell decision will have ramifications for future development, and some of those developments could be coming from his agency.

“I’m not sure what it is yet, but we want to be a player and we’re not going away,” he said. “Our eyes are open.”

Nardelli added that it’s a “great day for the whole region, and particularly Beaver County.

“We haven’t seen anything like this, at least since I’ve been alive,” he said.

business impact

Beaver Valley Mall could see ripple effect

By Jared Stonesifer jstonesifer@timesonline.com

CENTER TWP. — The general manager of the Beaver Valley Mall said Tuesday “a lot of people” were waiting on Shell’s decision to build here, a move that could have a tremendous ripple effect on the beleaguered mall.

Tim Veith said he couldn’t disclose specific details, but did confirm he’s had conversations with “national tenants” including restaurant owners.

“A lot of people were waiting on this announcement. My phone has been ringing off the hook,” Veith said. “There are a number of people excited about it, wanting to capitalize on it.

It’s great news and a great day for Beaver County.”

Veith said he’s had discussions with Shell officials as far back as 2012, when the company first announced it might build here.

“Being that they’re less than a mile from our front door, they’re going to be our neighbors and we will be theirs,” meaning it’s important the two sides have a strong relationship, Veith said.

The news also reached

officials with the Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust, the Philadelphia-based company that owns the mall.

Joseph Coradino, the CEO of PREIT, previously said during a conference call with investors that the struggling mall’s fate could have been tied to Shell’s decision.

Now that Shell has announced a positive decision, everything about the mall’s future could change.

“Shell’s investment in building a state-of-the-art facility in close proximity to Beaver Valley Mall creates an extraordinary opportunity for the property and the surrounding community,” Coradino said in a statement. “With the project’s potential longterm economic impact and newly created jobs, Beaver Valley Mall is primed to attract new, diverse tenants and improve the overall retail environment in the region.”

Officials also said the influx of more than 1,000 construction workers and 600 permanent workers will have a very positive impact on the mall’s current tenants.

OUR VIEWS

Shining the light on Shell It’s been a long journey with a lot of secrecy, and now it’s time to work together In the more than four years since Shell Chemicals announced it was looking at a former industrial site in Beaver County for a possible petrochemical plant, there have been rumors upon rumors about the process.

Shell was definitely coming, Shell was definitely not coming, Shell was buying the Beaver Valley Mall and moving it to Chippewa

Township, Shell was going to use the site to dump all its waste, Shell was selling the property to the Pittsburgh Steelers for a new football stadium. The secrecy involved in the process kept residents in the dark, and they filled the void with visions of every possible scenario.

But now everything is out in the light. Shell has pledged to move forward with a $2 billion ethane cracker plant, with construction to start in about 18 months and production to begin in the next decade.

Whether this is good news depends on who you ask, but

it definitely big news for the county because it is a major economic investment in an area that has never fully recovered from the collapse of the steel industry 30 years ago.

Now, we hope the light will continue to shine on the process as we see what the impact of this announcement will have on the economy, the environment and the well-being of county residents. There is still a long way to go before we see the final product at the former Horsehead Corp. site and there are still a lot of questions to be answered, from how many local people will

be employed to what other businesses might locate here because of the plant. But if Shell continues to work closely with local leaders, we should be able to approach this project with clear eyes, and a lot less rumors.

Beaver County, western Pennsylvania and the region as a whole need to work together to make sure this development is done right, creating the maximum potential and safest environment for their people. Shell officials previously pledged to be good neighbors if they came. We hope they honor that pledge.

The happy privileged face of the campus predator

By Petula Dvorak The Washington Post

WASHINGTON — Bring it on — the brilliant smile of a Stanford swimmer with Olympic dreams, the happy privileged face of a white college kid named Brock Turner.

Another picture of him smiling, please.

Because this is what a campus sexual predator looks like. And that’s the truth too many people refuse to acknowledge.

It’s the most difficult part of the campus rape culture destroying the lives of so many young women: acknowledging who their rapists are.

Turner, 20, was convicted of sexually attacking an unconscious woman behind a dumpster at Stanford University after a fraternity party. It was a violent, brutal attack, and he was caught by two passersby, who tackled him when he tried to run away.

The rape charges were dropped because it was Turner’s fingers, along with dirt and pine needles, that went inside his victim, not his sexual organ. Was that calculated on his part? Was he trying to avoid leaving his DNA in her body?

The jury convicted Turner of sexual assault, which doesn’t sound quite as horrible as rape.

But let’s forget the legal terms and look up the word rape in the dictionary. MerriamWebster defines it as “unlawful sexual activity and usually sexual intercourse carried out forcibly or under threat of injury against the will usually of a female or with a person who is beneath a certain age or incapable of valid consent.” I’m good with that as a solid definition of what he did.

Then last week came the judge’s sentence.

Turner faced up to 14 years in prison.

Prosecutors asked for six. Santa Clara County Judge Aaron Persky, who also walked the knolls of the gorgeous campus in California as a student, worried that anything more than six months in the local jail would have “a severe impact on him.”

Well, yeah. That’s what jail is supposed to do.

There is now an effort underway to recall Persky for that outrageously light sentence and for his let-me-helpthis-fine-young-man commentary. Bring it on.

Because this is what a judge who protects predators looks like, too.

The judge did not talk about the severe impact the attack had on the

victim, which is what his concern in the courtroom should be. The woman, who’s 23, spoke for herself, describing, with searing eloquence, what Turner had done to her.

Turner has yet to take responsibility for the attack. His father, Dan A. Turner, wrote an astonishing letter to the judge arguing that his boy should receive probation and no jail time at all.

“His life will never be the one that he dreamed about and worked so hard to achieve,” he wrote. “That is a steep price to pay for 20 minutes of action out of his 20 plus years of life.”

Let’s talk about this “action.”

Turner was caught by two bicyclists who didn’t know his swim times or his Olympic aspirations.

What they saw was an intoxicated young man hip-thrusting a corpselike woman on the ground behind a dumpster in the dark. When they yelled at him, he ran.

If the sex was consensual — as Turner and his supporters insist it was — why run?

One of Turner’s childhood friends, Leslie Rasmussen, wrote a letter on his behalf, attributing Turner’s

conviction to “political correctness.”

“I don’t think it’s fair to base the fate of the next ten + years of his life on the decision of a girl who doesn’t remember anything but the amount she drank to press charges against him. I am not blaming her directly for this, because that isn’t right.

But where do we draw the line and stop worrying about being politically correct every second of the day and see that rape on campuses isn’t always because people are rapists.”

Whoa.

“This is completely different from a woman getting kidnapped and raped as she is walking to her car in a parking lot. That is a rapist.

These are not rapists.

These are idiot boys and girls having too much to drink and not being aware of their surroundings and having clouded judgement.”

This is the problem.

The notion that rapists aren’t anything like Turner. They’re not smart and accomplished.

They’re not polite and friendly. They’re not friends or sons or classmates.

There has been a lot of outrage that Turner’s booking photos weren’t

released with his arrest or conviction. They were released Monday. But the demand for them was misguided — part of the idea that rapists are evil-doers who lurk in the shadows, in alleys and parking garages. No. Bring on the photos of rapists looking their best. Show us Andrew Luster, heir to the Max Factor fortune, looking suave before his 2003 rape convictions.

Toothpaste smile, designer clothes.

Give us DuPont heir Robert H. Richards IV in his blue blazer before he’s convicted of raping and molesting his daughter.

Show us Oklahoma City police officer Daniel Holtzclaw in his police uniform, the way he was dressed when he raped all those women on his beat.

This is what rapists look like.

Now look at the smiling photo of Turner. This is what campus sexual predators look like, America. They are young men we know, and young men we trust. And when they are convicted of destroying lives, they must pay for their crimes.

Four charged in Ohio burglary ring connected to Beaver County thefts Suspects believed to have stolen from residences in three states

By Jo Ann Bobby-Gilbert The (East Liverpool,Ohio) Review

GLENMOOR, Ohio — Four people have been charged in Ohio in connection with a three-state burglary ring that could include thefts from Beaver County.

St. Clair Township police, assisted by the Columbiana County Special Response Team, executed a search warrant at a Glenn Street home in Glenmoor and took four people into custody.

Charged with receiving stolen property were Michael Smith, 23, Eric McDowell, 24, and Autumn McDowell, 21, all of 16599 Glenn St., and Damien Satterwhite, 22, of Virginia.

Smith and Satterwhite were also charged with weapons under disability, while Eric McDowell was charged with possession of drug abuse instruments and a hypodermic needle.

The charge of weapons under disability in Ohio means someone is prohibited from possessing a firearm because they have been convicted of a violent criminal offense, are under indictment or have been convicted of other specific criminal offenses or have been committed to a mental institution or declared by a judge as mentally incompetent or impaired.

According to township Sgt. Troy Walker, the department has investigated four daylight burglaries in the past two weeks, all within a 2-mile radius of the Glenn Street home.

Recently, police officials in Caroline County, Va., contacted township police about the possibility of a suspect in burglaries in their jurisdiction living on Glenn Street, and that was found to be the case, Walker said.

A neighbor of the Glenn Street residents reported finding a book bag containing coins and a laptop that had been reported stolen in a local burglary, and township police then received information about a vehicle that may have been used in a burglary in Pennsylvania.

Reaching out to Pennsylvania State Police, and “putting two and two together,” Walker said, “we were able to corroborate similarities between our burglaries and theirs, along with those in Virginia.”

The county prosecutor drafted a search warrant, and East Liverpool Municipal Court Judge Melissa Byers Emmerling signed it Sunday, resulting

in the police and response team making a forced entry at the Glenn Street home just after 3:30 p.m.

The response team was asked to assist due to reports of stolen weapons in some of the burglaries, according to officers, who said some of the suspects may also have been involved in shootings in other states.

Numerous items brought from the Glenn Street home during the search are thought to have been stolen from homes locally, in Virginia and in Pennsylvania, including jewelry, cameras, watches, rare coins and money, a box of collectible baseball cards and a case filled with vintage comic books.

Hyatt was pleased that, among the items recovered was a Masonic medal from a Melbourne Street burglary belonging to a former police officer and school official.

Most troubling to Hyatt, however, were the three guns found, including an assault weapon with two fully loaded ammunition clips.

Picking up the assault weapon and clips, Hyatt said, “This is nothing more than a killing machine. It’s good to get this and the ammunition out of the hands of people like these.

“We woke these knuckleheads up from their afternoon naps, but what if we hadn’t? It could have been a different story.”

Pennsylvania State Police criminal investigator Joshua Thomas joined township police officers at their station Sunday evening, looking over recovered items in an attempt to determine if any of them had come from five burglaries being investigated in the southern portion of Beaver County.

Findlay Township, Pa., Sgt. Chris Stang was also at the station, checking to see if any of the items were those reported stolen during a burglary Thursday in his jurisdiction.

Hyatt said he believes it is safe to say the alleged burglary ring is connected to drugs, saying, “One subject had a loaded heroin needle when we went in (the house).

In my professional opinion, I believe the proceeds they gain from the stolen items are used to purchase narcotics.”

Hyatt praised his officers for the work they did in tracking down the four suspects, saying, “These guys moved on this information in a week’s time. I want to salute them for the work that came out in a short amount of time.”

He added, “(Suspects) think they’re dealing with small town, small-minded cops who don’t know their jobs. It thrills me when they find out we’re damn good professionals.”

Preliminary hearing for man accused of stealing from church rescheduled

Pennsylvania Attorney General Kathleen Kane, center, and her twin sister Ellen Granahan, left, leave Kane’s preliminary hearing at the Montgomery County courthouse in Norristown, Pa., on Aug. 24, 2015. Granahan, who works as a chief deputy attorney general under Kane, filed a wage and gender discrimination complaint against her sister’s office with the U.S. Equal Opportunity Commission on Dec. 30, 2015, saying her $88,000 salary is 17 to 37 percent lower than what male and female agency lawyers with similar titles earn.

Attorney general’s twin files complaint about sister’s office Grievance: Kane payed her chief deputy 17 to 37% less than colleagues HARRISBURG (AP) — Pennsylvania’s embattled attorney general’s administration is facing yet another employee complaint — this time from her twin sister.

Attorney General Kathleen Kane’s twin has filed a wage and gender discrimination complaint against her sister’s office, The Morning Call of Allentown reported.

Ellen Granahan works as a chief deputy attorney general and says her $88,509 salary is 17 to 37 percent lower than what male and female agency lawyers with similar titles earn. She filed the

complaint Dec. 30 with the U.S. Equal Opportunity Commission.

The agency gave Kane’s administration until May 12 to respond. It wasn’t clear if that happened, and neither Granahan nor Kane’s office would comment on it.

Granahan has worked as a state prosecutor since 2008. After Kane was sworn in as attorney general in 2013, Granahan was promoted to chief deputy attorney general of the office’s child predator section. Granahan’s promotion came with a 20 percent raise, the newspaper reported.

The state Ethics Commission investigated Kane’s promotion of her sister, acting on a request by state Rep. Daryl Metcalfe, R-Butler. It found that Granahan’s hiring broke no rules, ac-

cording to records obtained by The Morning Call.

However, the Ethic Commission’s chairman, John J. Bolger, wrote to Kane in January 2014 and told her that Granahan’s selection created suspicion because Kane’s office had not established criteria to fill the vacancy.

Four months after Granahan’s promotion, the state Supreme Court threatened to suspend Granahan’s law license unless she completed mandated education classes within 30 days, The Morning Call reported. Granahan complied.

Kane, a Democrat who is not running for re-election, faces an August trial on charges that she leaked secret grand jury material, allegations she denies.

BEAVER — The preliminary hearing for an Ambridge man accused of stealing more than $220,000 from a local church was continued Tuesday and rescheduled for July 5.

Thomas P. Ross, 62, also known as Brother Ambrose, was charged May 27 with stealing money from Good Samaritan Catholic Church in Ambridge while he worked there as a music minister, police said.

Charles Bowers, attorney for Ross, asked District Judge Timothy Finn for a continuance of the scheduled preliminary hearing, which he granted.

According to police, an audit of the church’s finances showed $24,432 missing form weekly collections from 2012 through 2015, $141,981 from parishioner envelop contributions from 2012 through 2015 and $54,282 from votive candle contributions from 2006 though 2015.

Police said Ross had a “players card” account with the Rivers Casino in Pittsburgh. According to police, Ross had gambling transitions between 2010 and 2015 at the casino totaling $2,708,214, with losses of $331,531.

Ross earned an annual salary from the church of $28,158, police said.

Ross is charged by state police with three felony charges of theft and three counts of receiving stolen property.

Are You Frustrated Living with ….

AC H I N G K N E E S ?

Beaver County PA- Whether you are an athlete or a white - collar worker, most Americans have suffered minor to severe knee pain at some point, especially as they age- even everyday wear and tear can damage a healthy set of knees.

According to the Centers for Disease and Control (CDC), nearly 1 in 2 people may develop symptomatic knee osteoarthritis by the age of 85.

Many have tried rooster shots, stem cells injections, steroid shots, physical therapy, copper bracing, custom fitted bracing, and even surgery with little or no success.

Cold Laser Therapy works in a very novel fashion. It actually harnesses the power of a photochemical response in the damaged or dysfunctional tissue. Cold laser is a hand held device that does NOT cut, and it is set to various frequencies to target the knee joint to heal the damaged and inflamed tissues as well as alleviate pain. This pain relief treatment is FDA cleared and enables patients to have an alternative to drugs and surgery.

Trigenics is a Canadian and European based non-surgical manual procedure used to reconnect the brain with the dysfunctional body part (knee). Dr. Askar has perfected the non-invasive knee procedure that realigns the knee with the brain, immediately bringing relief and helping people of all ages return to their normal lives. There are no shots, no braces and no pills - only Dr. Askar’s hands.

These AMAZING pain free breakthroughs stimulate the body’s natural ability, providing an increase in range of motion, pain relief, and decreasing the injury damage to the muscles, ligaments, and joint like those associated with chronic knee pain. These breakthrough therapies are another option other than pills, “chicken shots,” physical therapy or those facing a knee replacement and has an impressive 95% success rate in our office allowing our patients to see and feel results within TWO visits.

Do You Suffer From: • • • • • • • •

Bone on Bone?

Popping and /or Grinding Sounds?

Knee Osteoarthritis?

Can’t Walk?

Can’t Get Up? Difficulty Climbing Stairs?

Night Pain?

Told you need a Knee Replacement?

If you answered yes to any of the above and if YOU qualify for Dr. Michele M. Askar, D.C. Knee Pain Relief Program, it might be one of the happiest days of your life.

That’s because for the last 10 years hundreds of knee pain sufferers have flocked to Beaver County Spinal Disc & Neurology Center located in Center Township on Brodhead Road.

That’s when Dr. Askar added Cold Laser Therapy and Trigenics to her already successful and comprehensive Knee Pain Relief Program.

Why So Many Want It You see, when you suffer with arthritis - the range of motion in your knee becomes very limited.

This means instead of gliding smoothly – your bones start to rub and grind against each other.

This causes a little pain in the beginning – but over time the pain steadily gets worse until it is excruciating.

How To Get It If you suffer with knee osteoarthritis, Dr. Askar would like to invite you for a $49 screening to see if you are a candidate for her Knee Pain Relief program.

All you have to do is call 724-709-7709 right now to schedule your $49 (normally $450) “Knee Pain Screening.” Dr. Askar can only accept a limited amount of new patients each month for this screening – so if you are interested, please call NOW! Your screening will only take 25-30 minutes… you will get your questions answered and leave knowing if you have possibly found the solution to your knee pain. our patient speaks out “Dr. Askar, you gave me hope when no one else did! I remember walking into your office in excruciating knee pain. I tried several steroid injections, Rooster Comb shots, physical therapy and acupuncture with no results.

You were my last resort. Now after your Knee Relief Program, I am able to walk, climb stairs and roll side to side in bed without pain, and I cannot believe the difference this had made in my life. Thank you so much.”

Aliquippa native still active, however from bird’s eye view

By Chris Bradford cbradford@timesonline.com

PITTSBURGH — The car with the vanity plate that bears the name of his hometown still finds a parking space in front of the Steelers’ facility each morning, but Richard Mann has been conspicuously absent from the practice field during the first seven days of Steelers OTAs. Odd, considering that Mann is the coach of what the Steelers — and many others — believe to be the finest receiving corps in the NFL. Don’t worry, his players say, because Mann is still watching and still coaching. Due to a recent “minor procedure,” as Mann said via a team spokesman, the Aliquippa native has been relegated to watching spring practices from an overlook of the UPMC Rooney Sports Complex.

Of course, there aren’t too many minor medical procedures when you’re 68 years old, but Mann reports that he is fine and expects to be back on the field next week for the team’s mandatory threeday minicamp.

Not that it has been a problem so far.

“If we have a question, he’s right up there and we run over and talk to him,” said veteran receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey. “He sees it all. It’s amazing from up there, he’s staying in tune. He knows what’s going on.”

IMPROBABLE It’s the only word to describe the Penguins playoff run that no one saw coming victory away from capping off. Newer and younger fans need only look as far back as 2009 to see a lameduck team completely reverse its fortunes and win it all.

Those who have been around longer surely can remember the significant adversity, both because of injuries and all-around mediocre play, that made the 1990-91 and 1991-92 titles far from a sure thing.

franchise’s star-studded history have been neat capstones for regular seasons fraught with tumult.

Based on history, improbable shouldn’t be a word in the dictionary of any Penguins fan.

And yet here we are, with the Penguins up 3-1 on the Sharks and looking to become the first team since the 1960 Pirates to clinch a title at home. The word that comes to mind is, well, improbable.

Bridgers going back to state title game

By Joe Sager Times Sports Correspondent

SLIPPERY ROCK — After a year away, it’s back to Penn State for the Ambridge boys volleyball team.

With Tuesday’s wild 3-2 win over Saegertown in a PIAA Class AA semifinal at Slippery Rock High School, the Bridgers advanced to the state title match for the third time in the last four seasons.

Ambridge (17-3) faces a familiar opponent, Northeastern, for the state crown Saturday at 11 a.m. The Bobcats have won the last three state titles, including victories over the Bridgers in their BRIDGERS, PAGE B9

The first two title teams?

They had Lemieux, Jagr, Coffey, Stevens, Barrasso, and a host of other “onename” players. In retrospect, it’s almost easy to think back and say they “flipped a switch,” whether that was true or not.

The 2009 team was languishing, but there was pedigree there. That team had been within two wins of the mountaintop the previous season but fell short.

Pirates’ depth shines in wins

By Bill Allmann Times Sports Correspondent

SALLY MAXSON/THE TIMES

The Ambridge boys volleyball team celebrates its win over Saegertown on Tuesday in the PIAA Class AA semifinals at Slippery Rock High School.

PITTSBURGH — Starting a stretch of 23 games in 23 days — 22 of them against teams with winning records — Pirates manager Clint Hurdle knew even before Tuesday’s doubleheader started that it was going to take all hands on deck to get through this.

“We anticipate using the full roster today, outside of the other three starting pitchers,” Hurdle said.

And he meant everything he said, although he didn’t

need every available arm in a pair of 3-1 wins over the New York Mets.

Only three position players started both games as players showed their versatility both in the field and at the plate.

Josh Harrison batted leadoff for only the third time this season in the opener and had three hits, scoring twice in a 3-1 win.

In the second game, the depth was even more obvious. In the second inning, backup PIRATES, PAGE B6

when I turned 50, I wasn’t going to be one of them. I would know.”

And he proved it.

He spent three years on the Hooters Tour, made it onto the Nationwide Tour and eventually got his PGA Tour card at age 40, right about the time his back started to bother him. In his second year, with the season nearly over, Short got into the Las Vegas tournament as an alternate and beat Jim Furyk in a playoff to earn $720,000.

That was two years before a PGA Tour victory earned a spot at the Masters. He lost in a playoff for a U.S. Open spot the following year.

Wes Short Jr. never thought it was going to be easy qualifying for the U.S. Open.

He didn’t think it would take 34 years, either.

His moment finally arrived Monday at Wedgewood Golf and Country Club in Ohio. The 52-year-old Short, playing on three hours’ sleep on a course he had never seen, rolled in a birdie on his 35th hole, finished with a par and walked over to the scoring area to see if he had a chance.

“I went to the scoreboard and hung out for a while, and they finally said, ‘You’re in,’” Short said. “One guy came up to me afterward and he goes, ‘You don’t seem all that excited.’ I said: ‘I am. I’m just too danged tired to get excited.’”

He was talking about his long day.

He just as easily could have been referring to all those years trying.

Short was an 18-yearold high school senior in Austin, Texas, when he made it through local qualifying and failed in the 36-hole qualifier in Houston.

What followed now seems like a blur.

He spent one year at Texas before he and his wife had a daughter. He left college to work for his father, swinging a sledge hammer in a stone quarry to make bricks for houses.

He eventually found work as an assistant pro at two clubs near Austin, and he taught at a driving range with J.L. Lewis. He probably would have stayed in the pro shop except that he didn’t want to be another name in too many tales he had heard.

“I didn’t want to be one of those people at 50 years old who said, ‘Hey, I could have made it on the tour,’ which most of the time is a bunch of B.S.,” he said. “I wanted to go prove it, so that at least

NOTEWORTHY  Tiger Woods said Tuesday he is not playing at the U.S. Open this year as he recovers from back surgery.

This will be the third time in the last six years that injuries have kept him out of the U.S. Open, which he’s won three times. He has not played since a tie for 10th in the Wyndham Championship in August. Woods, who first had back surgery a week before the 2014 Masters, had two more surgeries in September and October.

PENGUINS INSIDER

Sullivan pushing all the right buttons PITTSBURGH (AP) — Penguins coach Mike Sullivan, whose knack for drawing the best out of his players during Pittsburgh’s thrillingly arduous playoff run is becoming so frequent it’s tempting to ask him for lottery numbers. Malkin’s performance against the Sharks on Monday just was the latest.

Sullivan noticed rookie Conor Sheary looking fatigued during the Eastern Conference finals against Tampa Bay and sat him for Game 5.

Sheary, rested and still confident after a brief talk with Sullivan, returned to his pest-like self and has scored twice during the Cup final, including the overtime winner in Game 2.

Sullivan pulled struggling defenseman Olli Maatta in the second round against Washington yet stressed to the 21-year-old Maatta he would eventually get another chance, one that arrived when Trevor Daley went down with an ankle injury. All Maatta has done since his return is become the best Pittsburgh defenseman not named Kris Letang.

“Every player goes through their ups and downs, times when they’re at the top of their game, and times where it can be a bit of a challenge,” Sullivan said. “I think that’s just human nature. Our players are no different. It never changes our opinions of these guys or how we feel about them. It’s our responsibility as their coaching staff to try to help them through the process.”

NOTEWORTHY  Pittsburgh City Council has married itself to the fortunes of the city’s National Hockey League franchise by adding a first name to one of the city’s busiest streets by renaming Murray Avenue to “Matt Murray Avenue.” The name change applies to Thursday only, when the Pittsburgh Penguins play host to the San Jose Sharks in Game 5 of the Stanley Cup finals.  San Jose has trailed for 121:44 of the series, about 25 minutes less than they trailed over 18 games in the first round when the Sharks scored first in 13 games and forced the opponent to chase the game.

The Penguins, meanwhile, haven’t played from behind in what seems like ages. They have gone 435:46 of game time without playing with a deficit since losing Game 4 to Tampa Bay in the Eastern Conference final. Pittsburgh’s only two losses since came in overtime games where they didn’t trail until the final goal.  Sharks F Tomas Hertl remains day to day with a lower-body injury. Coach DeBoer said he did not plan to shake up his lines for a spark to start Game 5 on Thursday.

Lange, Bourque impressed with run

By Joe Sager Times Sports Correspondent

Penguins fans have enjoyed the team’s march to the Stanley Cup final.

So have veteran broadcasters Mike Lange and Phil Bourque.

With the team on a daily basis at every practice and game, the two have had an in-depth look at the team’s metamorphosis from borderline playoff squad to Eastern Conference champion.

“Sometimes, it’s just magical — everything kind of falls into place. You can’t really explain it,” said Lange, who is in his 40th season calling Penguins hockey. “It happens to other teams and in other sports, but when you see something like this happen, it’s just — wow. This year, that’s how it’s been for the Penguins. They are in range of accomplishing the ultimate goal.”

Bourque, who won two Stanley Cup rings (1991 and ’92) as a gritty winger and defenseman for the Penguins and broadcasted two other finals (2008 and ’09), has seen a lot during his pro hockey playing and radio careers. However, this year’s team opened his eyes.

“I am so damn impressed and proud. Just because of all the things you wanted to happen have happened.

The young draft picks are impact players; the stars are playing better; the team is more disciplined.

They’re just playing like a team and playing for the pride of the crest on the front of their jerseys,” he said. “If you need the big save, you’re getting it. If you need a penalty killed, you’re getting it. If you need a goal from a star, you’re getting it. If you need a big play from a role player, you’re getting it. That’s what makes the Penguins so hard to play against.

When you think you’ve shut Sid and Geno down, a guy like Bryan Rust scores. The Penguins are multidimensional and playing to their strengths on consistent basis. I don’t know how anybody can beat us in a seven-game series.”

The Penguins, who were out of the playoff picture

Penguins long time broadcaster Mike Lange said everything is falling into place for the Penguins, who are one win away from the franchise’s fourth Stanley Cup. for a while during the regular season, established a new identity predicated on speed and skill. It worked as it got the franchise its fourth Prince of Wales trophy.

“It’s a lot of fun. It’s as much Penguins hockey as you can get in this era, with a style of not playing it safe and not being boring.

They’re generating offense from a great defense — all the things you hoped this team would become, it’s there right now,” Bourque said. “Whether it’s having people like Mario around and guys like Mark Recchi, Rick Tocchet and Jim Rutherford in the organization, it’s nice to be around a bunch of winners. So many of these people have won before and winners breed winning. When you bring all those players who have won before with this environment and the skill the Penguins have, that’s what makes it fun.”

Getting back to the Stanley Cup final proved to be a challenge for a Penguins team that hovered around the top of the NHL standings ever since their last final appearance in 2009.

“Everyone would like win a Stanley Cup every year. It just doesn’t happen. The NHL has gone 17 straight years with a different winner,” Lange said. “The

Penguins have had a pretty good club, absolutely. I’d love to see them win it. Even at this point, they’re still better than 95 percent of the teams in the league.

“For the Penguins, it came together rapidly this year, but I think you have to take a half step back and look at how it all happened.

There are a number of things (general manager) Jim Rutherford has done. A lot of credit has to go to (former GM) Ray Shero, too.

There was a lot of work (former Wilkes-Barre/ Scranton coaches) John Hynes and Alain Nasreddine put in, too.

Mike Sullivan has done an incredible job carrying the torch. There are some people in the organization that made some really good decisions, including Jim, Jason Botterill, Bill Guerin and Tom Fitzgerald. It’s the whole organization that makes it possible. There are a lot of positives there.”

One of the most visible changes came when Mike Sullivan replaced Mike Johnston as Penguins head coach on Dec. 12. Shortly after, the team began its ascension.

“Mike Sullivan has been a perfect fit,” Bourque said.

“He’s a professional coach who can hold you accountable and get you to play your best hockey no matter what the name is on the

back of your jersey.”

Nevertheless, it’s been another exciting run for a Penguins franchise that has supplied many memorable moments for its fans. Lange has been there for most of them.

“How blessed can I be to see people I’ve watched play the game and what all they’ve accomplished? I don’t know of another broadcaster in the league that has had access to the kinds of great players that the Penguins have had,” he said. “That wasn’t the case early on, but Mario was the key ingredient from that point. It’s just been one after another and another like Jagr, Francis and so on. It’s unbelievable the players we’ve had the chance to watch in Pittsburgh. Don’t take this for granted, folks – it’s pretty special what has happened in the last 30 years. You’re very lucky, overall. The Steelers and Pirates have won some championships. Pitt has had some good teams. There are so many good things to come out of this city and it’s something to behold. It’s special, it really is.

“Bourquey and I are not from Pittsburgh, but we realize what a great place it is and we have assimilated and we’re really ingrained with Pittsburgh. You might as well put a ‘P’ on our foreheads.”

Improbable the only word to describe Penguins MUELLER, from B1

What’s more, they were primed for a turnaround.

They had stopped responding to an overly defense-focused coach, and his replacement was the perfect guy at the perfect time to get the most out of them.

That team was a group on the rise. They had goals to attain, a league to conquer.

They were young and didn’t know any better. They were at the start of what some thought would prove to be a dynastic run. Their turnaround was surprising, but the pieces were there.

This year? No one saw it coming. If someone claims they did, if someone claims that they foresaw, in December, this team being a win away from glory, they are lying.

Under Mike Johnston, this group was dead in the water.

They were listless. They were easily defended. They played a system that didn’t cater to the players on hand.

They were a colossal bore, and a mostly ineffective one, to boot.

They tweaked the roster

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS FILE

The Penguins are on the cusp of a fourth Stanley Cup in large part to coach Sullivan’s uncanny ability to get the attention of a struggling player. Sullivan took over in December and has won 65.7 percent of his games. and brought in Mike Sullivan to coach, but the early returns were more of the same — four straight losses. The parallels with the 2009 group were there, but the instant results that Dan Bylsma achieved that year were nowhere to be found.

Perhaps this team, one that had been defined by post-season failure since 2010, was truly on the de-

cline. Perhaps their stars simply didn’t have it anymore. Perhaps Phil Kessel would never really mesh well and produce instant offense. Perhaps the Penguins simply weren’t that good, despite the names on the roster.

Rumors of their demise, we know now, were greatly — no, spectacularly — exaggerated. They started to win and didn’t stop. Instead of

playing a defensive, conservative style, they went into all-out attack mode all the time. They became a vicious offensive tidal wave, a relentlessly attacking bunch, one constantly applying pressure.

Marc-Andre Fleury, in many ways their regular season MVP, finally had some reinforcements. When he went down, Matt Murray stepped in ably, providing a sneak preview of what he would become in the playoffs, with no one knowing the kind of performance he would turn in when Fleury’s second concussion rendered him unavailable.

Kessel started to score, role players like Nick Bonino, Carl Hagelin, Ben Lovejoy and Trevor Daley were excellent, and Murray, as mentioned, got on a big roll in a big hurry.

The final win won’t be conceded by San Jose, but it’s hard to imagine them beating the Pens more than once in three games. A fourth championship banner being raised to the rafters seems like a sound bet.

Harris’ chance to meet POTUS not lost on multi-racial player Steelers offensive tackle Ryan Harris didn’t partake in his usual routine Monday as the third week of OTAs was set to kick off. Instead, Harris experienced the opportunity of a lifetime.

Harris was in Washington D.C. with his former Denver Broncos teammates while the organization visited the White House to celebrate their win in Super Bowl 50. Harris, who was picked up by the Steelers in free agency this off-season, started at left tackle for the Super Bowl champions. Harris had an opportunity to tour the White House and meet President Obama. The latter had significant meaning for him. “As a multi-racial kid, getting to meet the president of the United States, who is also multi-racial, it was just a great experience,” Harris said after practice Tuesday. “Being multi-racial, you don’t have a lot of heroes that look like us. You don’t have a lot of examples that look like us. “There’s many throughout business and things like that, but to have one that went to the White House as a Harvard graduate, that was significant for kids like me.” Harris said he always held an interest in politics, which made his trip Monday all that much more riveting. He double-majored in Political Science and Economics and Policy while at Notre Dame. “I loved being in DC, and going through it. Just being alllowed, or invited in, it was cool for me,” Harris said. “I had never been able to do it. It was a good time.” Harris also had a chance to reunite with his old teammates, ones in which he lined up next to on football’s greatest stage.

“Getting to be around some of my brothers that I went through so much with last year was great,” he said. “And then coming back here to practice today was great, too; to be back with my new brothers.”

During Mann’s on-field hiatus, offensive coordinator Todd Haley has been working closely with the receivers. Heyward-Bey says it can’t hurt to hear another voice, especially that of Haley, who broke into the NFL coaching ranks as a receivers coach, most famously working with Terrell Owens in Dallas.

Besides, as Heyward-Bey says, Mann’s best coaching work is saved for the meeting rooms and what’s on film.

According to Heyward-Bey, Mann has a keen sense of the room and is able to communicate clearly what it is he wants done.

“The key is he knows how to coach us up,” said Heyward-Bey. “He knows the right words to say to describe what he want us to do.

I think coaches have a difficult time doing that.

They’re all about the X’s and O’s, (but) X’s and O’s are easy. It’s a playbook. You know what you should do but ‘how do you make me a better receiver?’ and he does a great job of that.”

The Steelers announced that they added tight end Paul Lang and linebacker Kevin Anderson to the active roster Tuesday, and released tight end Jay Rome and linebacker Tyriq McCord to make room. Lang, a South Hills native, attended Mt. Lebanon High School before playing college football at Michigan State.

After going undrafted, Lang attended rookie mini-camps with the Lions and Redskins, and he also worked out for the Patriots and Rams before joining the Steelers. Lang also was a teammate of Le’Veon Bell and played for Pitt coach Pat Narduzzi, the defensive coordinator for Michigan State at the time, while in college.

NFL’s sack leader, Smith, experiencing memory loss

Recognize al Yo u r S p e c i Grad!

By John Wawrow The Associated Press

BATAVIA, N.Y. — Wearing a tight orange golf shirt that shows off his muscular physique, 52-year-old Bruce Smith is still capable of casting an intimidating presence like he did while setting the NFL career record for sacks.

Looks, however, can be deceiving, the Buffalo Bills Hall of Fame defensive end acknowledged.

“I look good, but I’m in pain every day,” Smith said, while attending former teammate Jim Kelly’s charity golf tournament outside of Buffalo on Monday. “There’s not a day that I’m not in pain: multiple joints and things that I experience on a daily basis. It can be very frustrating sometimes.”

Then there’s his memory.

“You’d probably have to ask my wife about that,” Smith said, when asked if he was experiencing head-injury related symptoms some 13 years after he retired.

“I forget a lot of things sometimes.”

At a time when NFL safety concerns are attracting headlines, it’s difficult for Smith to ignore the toll playing 299 games — including playoffs — and registering 200 sacks took on his 6-foot-4, 262-pound body.

And yet, if he could go back, Smith would do it all over again.

“While I did not know the severity of what continuous head traumas would do to an individual and the mind and so forth and so on, I’m not going to sit here and complain,” Smith said. “I’d be lying to you if I didn’t tell you it hurts on a daily basis. But

NOTEWORTHY The Steelers canceled OTAs on Monday, and took a trip to a local bowling alley, Brunswick Zone Playmour Bowl, for some team-bonding instead. This is an annual occurrence for the Steelers during the last week of OTAs.

Ben Roethlisberger was back at practice Tuesday after missing a few days last week. Again, OTAs are voluntary.

NFL Hall of Famer and former Buffalo Bills linebacker Bruce Smith said despite his appearance he’s experiencing pain daily.

“There’s not a day that I’m not in pain: multiple joints and things that I experience on a daily basis,” he said.

I’m very thankful.”

He credited the NFL for establishing rules and introducing equipment in a bid to make the game safer.

Smith also called it important to shed as much light as possible on the issue.

“You just want to know all the facts and the truth, and for some reason or another I don’t think we’ll ever get to that point,” Smith said. “There are some guys that are suffering that we need to make sure that are taken care of.”

The Bills are honoring Smith this year by retiring his No. 78 during a ceremony to be held during their prime-time home-opener against the New York Jets on Sept. 15.

Selected with the first pick in the 1985 draft by Buffalo, Smith was a two-time NFL defensive player of the year during 15 seasons with the Bills.

He then played four more years in Washington.

Smith spoke shortly before NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell addressed the media, while also attending Kelly’s tournament.

Goodell defended the league’s approach to addressing concussion-related concerns.

Aside from introducing 42 rule changes over the past 10 years, Goodell noted the NFL is introducing new helmets and a new playing surface to help reduce the impact of hits.

Last month, a congressional study concluded league officials tried to strong-arm the National Institutes of Health into taking away a project from a researcher the NFL feared was biased.

In recent years, several NFL players have abruptly retired rather than risk experiencing long-term, concussion-related effects.

Kelly defended the NFL, saying the league has made great strides improving its concussion protocol since he retired after the 1996 season.

“When you came off, it was like, ‘How many fingers do I have up? Do you know where you’re at? Who you’re playing?’

And if you pass all those, boom, you’re good to go,” Kelly said. “It’s a contact sport, get over it.”

Cavs looking for other options with Love uncertain

PERSPECTIVE

By Tom Withers AP Sports Writer

THE AP

Golden State Warriors forward Andre Iguodala, right, reaches for the ball against Cleveland Cavaliers forward LeBron James during the first half of Game 1 of the NBA Finals in Oakland, Calif. James is averaging 24.1 points per game in the playoffs but his team trails the Warriors, 2-0.

For Cavs to be crowned, James must share his reign

By Jerry Brewer The Washington Post

and frustrated. It’s not just that the Cavaliers return home Wednesday night trailing two games to none in the NBA Finals. It’s that the team applying the reality check is the Golden State Warriors, a basketball phenomenon that might rule the league for a while.

No level of mindfulness can keep James from avoiding the pressure he currently faces.

This is the most LeBron team ever, a squad that he coaxed management into building. It’s the most expensive roster in the NBA, with a $108 million payroll this season. Six players are making at least $8 million. Four have salaries above $14 million. This team has size, shooting and versatility. Still, the Cavaliers look feeble compared with the Warriors.

It’s not James’s fault. He’s playing acceptable basketball, besides the high number of turnovers. But this is the team he leads, manages and all but coaches. Fair or not, it’s on him to make the Cavaliers more competitive against Golden State — in these Finals and in the future because the Warriors are still young and hungry.

“I’ll be much better and more sound,” James said of Wednesday’s game.

The question he can’t answer — and probably doesn’t want to answer — is whether that will be enough. With the Warriors dominating, the challenge to win a title in Cleveland is

CLEVELAND — LeBron James didn’t understand the thought. He was asked Tuesday about Phil Jackson saying that James needed to channel Michael Jordan and play like “a man possessed” to lift Cleveland out of this NBA Finals hole. Be someone else? Be greater?

James was confused.

He would have had an easier time responding to a quantum physics question.

“I mean, what does that actually mean?” James asked. “I mean, I think for me to go out and be who I am and play as true to the game and as hard as I can and try to lead this team, that’s who I am. Not anybody else. I’m not Michael.

I’m not Ali. I’m not nobody else that’s done so many great things for sport. I am who I am, and if I’m able to go out and put together a game like that, it wasn’t because I was possessed. It’s because I worked on my craft all season long, and that’s the result of it.

“Phil’s a great coach.

Mike’s a great player. But I am who I am.”

James is a fascinating, multidimensional figure, but his words — along with the befuddlement he exhibited while speaking — are telling. He is the most strategic sports star of his era, a man who has the competence and confidence to enact a vision. He sees a different game, on and off the court, and he sees it before anyone else. That’s why he had the most successful debut of any preps-to-pros player in his generation. That’s why he devised a plan six years ago to leave Cleveland and form the Super Friends in Miami. That’s why he chose to leave South Beach in 2014 and return to northeast Ohio after noticing the Heat was aging and trustAsphalt Driveways ing his influence could ensure the Cavaliers Owned & Operated by created a better long-term Mike Hoppel since 1984. basketball situation.

Be someone else? Be greater? Be, ahem, like Mike? James can comprewww.westpointpaving.com hend only his way. And he leaves the sense that he would rather fail being LeBron James than succeed by following a different path. Because who could he possibly trust more than himself?

But consider the great contradiction: James, the ultimate control freak, plays basketball in an unselfish manner that demands he rely on teammates to finish plays he creates. So an athlete who flaunts power and independence more than anyone else in team sports also must find room to be dependent.

We might have an easier time with quantum physics, too.

Even as James puts up a cool and confident front, you can see his burden. It’s as unmistakable as his bulging biceps.

He’s tense, concerned

proving to be the greatest obstacle of James’s career.

He can’t just play some of the best basketball of his life; he did that during last season’s Finals and his injury-ravaged team still lost in six games.

Golden State is a welloiled organization. The stars are committed. The role players fit perfectly.

The depth is ideal. The front office keeps making good decisions. There’s a synergy from ownership to the front office to the coaching staff to the players. And the Warriors are two victories from winning back-toback championships to go with a record-setting 73-9 season and a 140-24 mark since Steve Kerr has been the coach. In short, that means James is up against a potential dynasty. And the more he tries to do it his way, the harder it is to envision James overcoming the Warriors without help, no matter how spectacular a player and agile a thinker he is.

By “help,” I’m not talking about Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love playing better (and staying healthy), either.

James is a great passer on the court. Well, this series should serve as proof that he needs to do some passing of responsibility off the court, too. He needs to be more patient and let General Manager David Griffin build the team without the constant threat of James leaving. He needs to let Tyronn Lue, the coach

he preferred over David Blatt, continue to grow as a head coach. He needs to relax, period.

“Well, for me, I try to do whatever it takes to help our team win, and I do everything offensively, defensively, getting guys involved, rebounding, everything, so my game doesn’t waver one way or the other,” James said. “I’m not a pure scorer. I’m not an all-assist guy. I’m not just a rebounder. I do everything.

So for me I said that after Game 2 that I’ve got to play better, but as far as my numbers, I don’t worry about that.”

Game 3 might prove to be one of the great challenges of James’s career, but the truth is, win or lose, the Cavaliers need a miraculous turn of events to come back and win this series.

They need to beat Golden State four times in the next five games. The Warriors didn’t lose four regular season games until they had played 43 of them.

They are a machine.

Cleveland needs to build a machine to catch up to them. James can control it, but he can’t do all the construction, too.

The key to beating the Warriors, to winning a title in Cleveland, isn’t James doing more. It will require James stepping back and serving as the most importance piece, but not the dictator, of an organization that needs several creative minds to come together.

CLEVELAND — Already underdogs, the Cavaliers may also be undermanned for Game 3 of the NBA Finals.

They remain undaunted.

The Cavs practiced Tuesday without starting forward Kevin Love, who is following the league’s concussion protocol after being struck in the back of the head by Golden State’s Harrison Barnes during Sunday night’s Game 2 blowout loss.

Love stayed in the locker room while his teammates practiced on the floor at Quicken Loans Arena, where they are 7-0 in this postseason and will have 20,000 screaming fans on their side for the next two games. Cavs coach Tyronn Lue said Love is feeling better, but his status for Game 3 — and the remainder of the series — hinges on him passing several physical tests and getting cleared to play.

Love might be uncertain. LeBron James, on the other hand, is positive the Cavs can’t let anything become a distraction.

“Next man up,” James said. “We’re down 0-2, and we can’t afford to look and say, ‘Wow, Kev’s not playing. What are we going to do?’ It’s next man up because it’s a must-win for us.

So obviously his health is very important, but in the situation we’re in now, we’ve got to stay confident.”

If Love can’t play, Lue will have to replace 16.5 points and 9.4 rebounds per game. A potential move is bringing back Russian center Timofey Mozgov, who was disappointing in the regular season and has been exiled to the bench.

The 7-foot-1 Mozgov was Cleveland’s second-leading scorer in last year’s finals against the Warriors, who switched to a smaller lineup to drive him off the floor.

One thing that Lue and his staff will change is the approach when it comes to physicality: Cleveland had success when it got aggressive with the Warriors in last year’s finals, so it’s a reasonable assumption that the Cavs will try it again Wednesday.

Lue considered other lineup changes in hopes of slowing the Warriors, who won the first two games by a combined 48 points despite sub-standard performances by shooting stars Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson, whose splashes have been mere sprinkles so far.

“We’ve thought about it, we’ve talked about it, but I can’t let you know what we’re planning on doing,” Lue said with a laugh.

Lue’s first postseason as a head coach has been relatively uneventful. He’s made savvy moves, kept his players focused despite a few lengthy breaks between series and handled the daily circus surrounding any team James plays on with a steadying hand.

Pirates show their depth in pair of wins PIRATES, From B1

infielder Cole Figueroa — the 13th player on a 13-position player roster — drove home the first run.

“It felt really good to get four at-bats,” said Figueroa, who had been scheduled to start Monday night as well.

“Those were some really good pitchers but it was nice to have some at bats to get the timing back.

“You get practice against the machines and batting practice but that’s all you can do. With the stretch like we have, you know you’re going to be needed.”

After Figueroa drove home the first run, backup catcher Chris Stewart then drove home the second run.

In his next at bat in the fifth inning, Stewart singled and scored the third run on a double by John Jaso.

That was enough offense as the Pirates twice proved that three runs can be enough to win, even though they had only been 2-18 when scoring fewer than four runs before the doubleheader sweep.

The pitching staff also showed its depth as the starters combined to pitch 12 innings, allowing one run and the bullpen pitched six innings, allowing just one run as well.

GENE J. PUSKAR/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Pirates starting pitcher Juan Nicasio delivers in the first inning of the second baseball game of a doubleheader against the New York Mets on Tuesday in Pittsburgh.

“That’s absolutely what you look for every time out,” said Pirates manager Clint Hurdle. “It doesn’t always happen because the other team, those guys get paid too and they’re trying to win games as well.

“We were able to execute the game plan, we were able to make pitches and stay out of trouble. The pitching plan was executed

PIRATES INSIDER PITTSBURGH — Only once in the season’s first 56 games were the Pirates able to hold their opponents to one run or fewer in back to back games. That was April 29 and 30 in Cincinnati.

Then the pitching staff did that all in one day, as the Pirates defeated the New York Mets 3-1 in both ends of a doubleheader. In the first game, Jon Niese pitched seven innings of shutout ball against his former teammates and in the second, it was Juan Nicasio.

For Nicasio, it was the first time he has held an opponent to less than four runs since he pitched one of those games in Cincinnati.

“His rhythm was good for the whole game,” Hurdle said. “He threw 89 pitches and 75 or more were fastballs, very few were sliders, didn’t throw many changeups. He attacked and had good command.

“He threw first pitch strikes and put him in good counts. He had a strong outing.”

Nicasio struck out seven in his five innings and the bullpen struck out seven more in its four innings as five pitchers held the Mets to four hits.

Jared Hughes, Tony Watson, Neftali Feliz, and Mark Melancon each contributed a scoreless inning.

very well.”

Included in that good execution was Hurdle’s ability to use both Neftali Feliz and Mark Melancon to finish both games, although it wasn’t a matter of experience.

“Never in my career had I pitched in two games in a day,” said Feliz, who has now been scored upon in only four of 28 appearances.

while striking out seven, his single in the fifth inning set up the third run when John Jaso followed his single with a double.

HIDDEN STAT 19-3 The Pirates record against National League East teams at PNC Park since the start of the 2015 season.

NOTEWORTHY  Jordy Mercer’s home run off former teammate Antonio Bastardo in the first game was his first at PNC Park since August 31, 2014. It was his second of this season.  Juan Nicasio’s start — allowing just one run in five innings — was the first time he had allowed less than four runs since April 29.  In his return to Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh native Neil Walker received ovations on every trip to the plate and finished the day with two hits in eight at bats and committed an error.

“I thank God that I felt great. I just wanted to compete and give it my best.”

In both games, Feliz handed over 3-1 leads to Melancon in the ninth and he recorded both saves to take over the major league lead in saves. They were his 10th and 11th straight appearances without allowing an earned run.

 Starling Marte left the first game in the seventh inning with left ankle discomfort. He did not play in the second game.  Relief pitcher Wilfredo Boscan was recalled as the extra player teams are allowed during a doubleheader, but he wasn’t used.  The last time the Pirates and Mets played a doubleheader at PNC Park was September 19, 2004. The Pirates swept that one, too.

UP NEXT The Pirates will host the New York Mets at 7:05 on Wednesday. Pitching for the Pirates will be Jameson Taillon, the second overall pick in the 2010 draft, in his major league debut. A 25-year-old right-hander, Taillon was 4-2 with a 2.04 ERA with Triple-A Indianapolis.

The Mets will be starting 23-year-old right-hander Noah Syndergaard, 6-2 with a 1.92 ERA, third lowest in the National League. In one game in his career against Pittsburgh, he is 0-1 with a 1.50 ERA.

The Pirates’ Josh Harrison, left, scores behind New York Mets catcher Rene Rivera on a single by Pirates’ Andrew McCutchen off Mets starting pitcher Steven Matz in the fifth inning on Tuesday in Pittsburgh.

KEY MOMENT In the top of the fifth, the Pirates led 2-0 and Neil Walker led off for the Mets with a single.

James Loney then hit a grounder to second that Cole Figueroa turned into a double play.

Considering that the next three Mets batters had a double, walk, and single that scored their only run — had that double play not been turned, the game could have gone the other way very easily.

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 8, 2016 | BEAVER NEWSPAPERS INC., PENNSYLVANIA | THE TIMES | B7

Taillon’s long journey has reached its destination

By Bill Allmann Times Sports Correspondent

PITTSBURGH — After the 2010 draft, Jameson Taillon met reporters in the conference room at PNC Park as an 18-year-old full of hope and promise. He was the second overall pick of that draft — the Pirates’ first choice.

Six years later, he returned to the same room, still full of hope and promise, but now a much wiser man. A wiser man who will start Wednesday against the New York Mets in his major league debut.

“It’s a little sweeter now,” said Taillon, who was 4-2 in 10 starts with Class AAA Indianapolis. In 61 2/3 innings there, he struck out 61 batters, while walking just six and allowing 44 hits.

“This is the same room as I was in after I got drafted in 2010. As a young 18-yearold, I don’t think this is a path I saw myself taking, but it’s the path that was dealt for me. That makes it sweeter.”

Taillon’s path includes stat line for the past two years of “Injured — did not

pitch.” In 2014, his season was lost to Tommy John surgery. In 2015, it was sports hernia surgery.

“One of my best traits is my work ethic,” said Taillon, a 6-foot-5, 240-pound righthander.

“When I got the results from my MRI 2014, I just said, ‘I’ll just come back strong for 2015.’ Then when I got the sports hernia in 2015, I just put myself in position for 2016.”

And now it’s 2016 and he’s in the big leagues — maybe sooner than some expected because of the lack of innings, maybe later than some fans thought it should be.

Regardless, the biggest factor in his return may be something as random as his bad luck with surgeries.

The rainout Monday night that forced Tuesday’s doubleheader was a major factor in his promotion.

“We were going to need another pitcher somewhere involved in this process,” said Pirates manager Clint Hurdle. “We’re capitalizing on this being Jameson’s day to pitch.

“We do believe he has worked hard and this opportunity is his — his four-seam fastball, the play of the curveball, the angle, the downhill, the command of his pitches, the ability to throw his secondary pitches in offensive counts, that all plays in to it. It will now have an opportunity to play out in a real-world environment. I’m happy for him, I’m proud of him.

“What we considered was the growth and the body of work he did in Triple A, plus the need we have.”

The length of Taillon’s stay in Pittsburgh has yet to be determined on this trip because of that need. There are few doubters he will be here a while, but how long he stays this time is an interesting question mark — especially considering the recent struggles and inconsistencies of Francisco Liriano and Juan Nicasio.

“This isn’t an opportunity where he can just twirl it and stay,” Hurdle said.

“There are things in his

control and things outside of his control.

“Francisco Liriano can now use an extra bullpen based on what he has been going through. There may be a hidden lining in that he didn’t pitch for two years — he has a full tank of gas.”

It’s a full tank of gas that has been waiting for its chance to be used. All indications are that it is ready.

Wednesday at 7:05 p.m., it happens.

AROUND THE LEAGUE

 Joey Votto homered with one out in the bottom of the ninth inning on Tuesday night, powering the Cincinnati Reds to a 7-6 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals after they blew a five-run lead for the second straight day. Votto connected off left-hander Kevin Siegrist (4-1) for his fifth career game-ending homer and Cincinnati’s third homer of the game. The Reds have won five of their last six games overall.  Jerad Eickhoff threw seven impressive innings, Ryan Howard hit a solo homer and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Chicago Cubs 3-2 on Tuesday night. Eickhoff (3-8) allowed one run and two hits, striking out eight. Jeanmar Gomez pitched out of a bases-loaded jam in the eighth and got the final six outs for his 19th save in 20 tries. Howard hit his ninth homer way out to right-center to make it 2-0 in the fourth. The 2006 NL MVP started for the first time since a fan threw a plastic beer bottle at him after Saturday’s game.

Rookie Tommy Joseph has replaced the struggling Howard at first base and started the previous six games.  Ian Kinsler drove in the winning run with a 10th-inning single, and the Detroit Tigers won their fifth straight game, 3-2 over the Toronto Blue Jays on Tuesday night. The Tigers tied it with two runs in the ninth, spoiling an outstanding effort by Blue Jays starter Aaron Sanchez. The Toronto right-hander struck out a career-high 12 and took a one-hitter into the ninth inning, but he didn’t get another out as Detroit rallied.

 Carlos Beltran and Starlin Castro homered for the second consecutive game, sending a resurgent Michael Pineda and the New York Yankees past the Los Angeles Angels 6-3 on Tuesday night. Alex Rodriguez and Austin Romine each had an RBI single for the Yankees, who have won seven in a row against the Angels at home. Los Angeles has dropped 13 of its last 16 at Yankee Stadium. AP

last two appearances (2013, ’14).

“It’s awesome. It feels great,” Ambridge senior setter Capen Brendle said.

“It’ll be my third time being at Penn State. I can’t wait to get back.”

The squads split the first four sets. The Panthers (16-2), who lost to Northeastern in last year’s state title match, took the first set, 25-17.

Saegertown was in control early in the second set, but Ambridge rallied to forge a 23-all tie. The teams traded points before the Bridgers closed out the 28-26 win.

“We weren’t following the game plan 100 percent in that first set. Saegertown is a great

HIGHLIGHTS BASEBALL  Punxsutawney’s three-run third inning was enough to beat Blackhawk 3-2 on Tuesday. Blackhawk put 13 runners on base, had seven hits and six walks, but struggled to score. Adam Robinson had two hits and an RBI for Blackhawk. Andy McClymonds kept Blackhawk in the game and faced one over the limit in 3 2/3 scoreless innings of relief.

how big one rally can be. We had to put everything into it.

The fifth set was just insane. It was a crazy game and I am just glad it’s over.”

In the fifth set, the Panthers had Ambridge on the brink of elimination, 14-13, but Derek Kuhn’s kill tied it and the Bridgers scored the final two points — the last coming on a hitting error — to secure the 16-14 win.

“I missed a serve to put them up, 14-13, but I knew our team could handle it,” Ambridge senior Anthony Baronio said. “Derek is really good at handling pressure and he played well all day. I knew that if I missed, he could get us a sideout right away.

“Saegertown just played great. You don’t expect to win off an error by them, but

you’ll take what you can get. A win is a win, and it’s a great feeling no matter what.”

The Bridgers, who are in the state title match for the fifth time in nine years, hope to bring back their first gold medals since 2009, when they swept Northeastern in three sets.

“It’s an awesome accomplishment even getting to the semifinals. To be in the finals, it’s so much better,” Freed said. “To play Northeastern, which is such a great team, that’ll be another great match for us.”

Baronio led Ambridge with 28 kills, while Brendle had 54 assists. Daniel Elliott added eight digs and two aces. Che Abrego and John Olexsovich both had three blocks. Derek Kuhn contributed two aces.

Ambridge, playing in the semifinals for the seventh time in nine years, fed off that momentum and soared to a 9-0 start in the third set. The team finished with a decisive 25-11 victory. Saegertown won the fourth set 25-16 to force a final 15-point fifth set.

“When you get to that fifth set, those first four sets mean nothing, pretty much. It comes down to a 15-point game — like a backyard game or something,” Brendle said. “Those 15 points go really quickly. For the last 15 points, literally every rally matters. It’s insane

Ledecky could win big at Olympics, but not in her best event

By Paul Newberry AP National Writer

Katie Ledecky figures to capture plenty of gold in Rio. She won’t be winning one of her best events, however.

She won’t even get a chance to swim it.

Ledecky has been the world record holder in the 1,500-meter freestyle for almost three years, but the metric mile has never been part of the Olympic program for women.

The longest event the 19-year-old can tackle at the Summer Games is the 800 free.

“It’s not something where I’m disappointed,” Ledecky said recently.

“Tell me what events are there, and I’ll work toward those events. This year, the 800 is the longest thing I have to work toward.”

That’s quite a shame, especially for the fans in Rio de Janeiro, Italian coach Stefano Morini said.

the associated press file

The United States’ Katie Ledecky competes in a women’s 800-meter freestyle swimming heat at the Aquatics Centre in the Olympic Park during the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. Ledecky has been the world record holder in the 1,500-meter freestyle for almost three years, but the metric mile has never been part of the Olympic program for women.

“They’ll miss a great performance, almost surely another world record, and probably a swim that would have put her even closer to the times of the elite men,” he said.

Janet Evans, long

regarded as the greatest female distance swimmer, held the 1,500 world record for almost two decades, until it was taken down by Kate Ziegler in 2007. That mark stood until Ledecky went even faster at the 2013

s l o Po

world championships in Barcelona, Spain.

Since then, Ledecky has eclipsed her own 1,500 record four more times, most recently with a time of 15 minutes, 25.48 seconds at last year’s worlds in Kazan, Russia, where

she broke the mark she set in the preliminaries by more than 2 seconds and romped to victory in the final by nearly 27 seconds over runner-up Lotte Friis.

Baden native and Olympic hopeful Lindsay

Vrooman, who won silver in the 1,500-meter freestyle at the 2015 World University Games, also would miss out on an event she has found success in.

FINA, the sport’s governing body, has pushed to add the women’s 1,500 to the Olympic program (along with the 800 free for men), which would match the program at the biennial world championships. The International Olympic Committee has rejected those proposals, not wanting to add more events to an already crowded schedule.

With the list of races already set for Rio, the next chance to make a change will be at Tokyo in 2020.

“We believe the world championship program is excellent,” said Cornel Marculescu, executive director of FINA. “We believe it’s also good for Olympics. But there are other criteria. Hopefully for Tokyo they’ll consider our requests differently.”

What wasn’t said on our Memorial Day? Hint: It involves politics.

GARRISON

KEILLOR

Another hint: It’s the name of a certain candidate for president, who does quite enough talking for himself.

We trooped off to the Memorial Day service in light sprinkles Monday and listened to the speeches and wished it would rain hard, for the interest.

Want to enhance your memory?

Take off your shoes and start doodling.

By Seth Porges Bloomberg News

It’s pretty amazing that the same brain that stores our favorite moments, the names and faces of our loved ones, and what our favorite foods taste like can also make room for cocktail chatter, PowerPoint presentations and whatever your boss’s dog’s name is. Keeping memory sharp is key for life. Recent studies have shed light on some surprisingly simple ways for ramping up your recall.

SYLVESTER WASHINGTON JR./THE TIMES

Sherman, right, and son Matt Hostetter are taking their family business, Hostetter Auctioneers, into the future.

THE FAMILY BID-NESS

Hostetter Auctioneers marketing to new generation with online sales

By Tim Kolodziej For The Times

CHIPPEWA TWP. — Sherman Hostetter Jr. is a fast talker.

So is his son, Matt.

But before you jump to any conclusions, the two aren’t about to sell any hay to a farmer or sawdust to a lumber mill.

They don’t talk THAT fast.

They talk just fast enough to keep bidders on the edge of their seats, and to help net a fair return for their clients.

Then again, that’s what an auctioneer does. And as the 21st century continues to break free from traditions of the past, Sherman and Matt stress that they aren’t really auctioneers anymore.

They’re marketers.

“Pardon my language, but we don’t do a damned thing the way we used to,” said Sherman, the CEO of Hostetter Auctioneers in Chippewa Township.

“We still use the term, and people still call us auctioneers, but only because it’s familiar.”

The major difference: The Hostetters are rarely in front of large crowds doing live calling.

Instead, they let their fingers do the talking with some cutting-edge technology.

And, more than ever before, people are listening.

They’re buying plenty, too.

Family focus Sherman Hostetter has a long history with numbers. As a member of Penn State’s golf team in the mid-1970s, then later while playing on PGA mini-tours, his chief goal was to keep them as low as possible.

KEEP IT IN THE FAMILY “It didn’t quite work out the way I had planned,” he said, laughing.

After four years of struggling to make cuts and reach the big-time against such stars as Tom Watson, Lee Trevino and Johnny Miller, Hostetter knew it was time to place his clubs in the bag — and keep them there.

“I was struggling mentally.

Instead of trying to make it, I was trying not to miss.”

So his dad, Sherman Sr., and his mom, Doris, extended an offer: Return home, join the family business, and they would make him a part-owner.

To a golfer, the decision was a gimme.

“It was time for me to get a real job,” he remembered. “It was the best thing I’ve ever done.”

Sherman, now 61, said his parents started the company around the time he was born. Sherman Sr. had been a barber, while Doris was a hair dresser. Both were ingrained in the Chippewa Township goings-on after moving from Enon Valley, which meant they knew who wanted to rid items from their homes.

Initially, they sold them from their shops, then jumped into auctioneering full time a few years later.

Sherman and his brother, Lee, helped to run the family firm until their father died in the mid-1990s, then the brothers went their separate ways. Lee now focuses on real estate with his own company.

Besides Sherman and Matt, a lead

auctioneer, six other members of the family are hustling to keep Hostetter Auctioneers running smoothly. They are:  Dan Reeder, Sherman’s son-inlaw, who is a lead auctioneer.  John Johnston, a son-in-law, and another lead auctioneer.  Kylee Reeder, Sherman’s daughter, who serves as an auto auctioneer. “It’s unusual for a woman to be in that arena, but she does a terrific job,” he noted.

If you were one of those students who was more likely to doodle in the margins of your notebooks than write words in them, you may have been onto something. Researchers at the University of Waterloo in Ontario asked participants to look at a list of simple words and either make drawings inspired by them or write them down repeatedly. Those who chose the drawing route remembered about twice as many words as those who wrote them down. The results of the study were published in the Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology.

“What we think is happening is you are bringing online a set of diverse networks or brain regions, which helps build a strong memory for that one item,” said Jeff Wammes, a PhD candidate in cognitive neuroscience and one of the study’s authors. “Drawing requires you to see a word, then bring to mind visual imagery of what that thing looks like, then generate some characteristics of it, then translate that mental image to paper using coordinated action.”

MEMORY, PAGE C3

 Paige Johnston, a daughter who handles most of the fund-raising auctions.  Kim Hostetter, Sherman’s wife, who books auctions and sells real estate.  Alexa Springer, a stepdaughter who performs secretarial duties and takes photographs.  And Rebeka Cohen, a stepdaughter who’s part of the setup crew.

“It’s fantastic that we can all work here as a family. I worked a lot with my father and mother, and we grew really close. We were always there for one another,” Sherman remembered.

“For me now, it’s on the other end with my own family. I love watching the next generation grow into their roles.”

To a point.

“There’s some downside to it,” he lamented. “You’re at a birthday party and you’re talking business.

We just never escape it.”

“This,” Matt added, “is a business that never sleeps.”

Hostetter Auctioneers marketing to new generation Hostetter, from c1

Online presence On this hot and muggy afternoon, the parking lot was filled at the company’s headquarters on Route 51.

Trucks were being unloaded in a side garage, while others who filtered through the lobby were part of a promotional video shoot that included rocker Donnie Iris.

They couldn’t help but notice a green antique barber’s chair, complete with a leather strap used to straighten and polish the blade of a straight razor. It’s the original chair from Sherman Sr.’s barber shop where Matt received his first haircut.

“I cried the whole time,” he recalled.

Next to it is a classic orange children’s dump truck, another remnant of years gone by. Sherman buys one for a different grandchild each year at the state auctioneers conference.

“He’s purchased 13 so far,” Matt said, laughing.

Alexa Springer, seated at the front desk and wearing the company’s red T-shirt, was on the phone solving some computer issues.

“We got the password set up,” she called to another employee.

Soon after, Sherman walked by and extended his left hand to visitors.

Though right-handed, he is recovering from rotator cuff surgery and the shoulder remains tender.

He sat down next to Matt at a conference table in the marketing area, flanked by a Penn State lamp and plenty of golf memorabilia.

Matt shared how the Hostetters use a software platform called MarketNet, which specializes in lead management and digital sales. He estimated his company now has 15,000 registered bidders and conducts about 150 auctions per year, with more than 90 percent online.

“We are a very broad auction company,” he said.

“We don’t specialize in products — we specialize in auctions.”

That means the Hostetters sell everything from coins to cars, guns to gadgets, houses to hammocks, and furniture to farm equipment.

“Anything that’s legal and has value, we sell it

and you can buy it on our site.”

Sherman smiled broadly.

“What we have with our technology is marketing on steroids. We have hundreds of thousands of people we can reach in a very short period. That’s why we’re continuing to grow.”

Matt referred to a recent buyer from Hollywood, who discovered Hostetters through an Internet search.

“If we were doing a live sale down the road, we never would have reached him.”

So, with its growing online presence, how does the company separate itself from competitors such as eBay, craigslist and new mobile apps like letgo?

“First off, we don’t see them as competitors,” Matt countered. “We may both sell items, but we’re far different.”

He explained that sites like eBay and craigslist are merely platforms where customers do all the work.

“We do everything from the beginning to the end — the cataloging, the setup, taking phone calls from customers. There’s no headaches for you at all,” Matt said.

“We’re a one-stop shop.

We do everything from start to finish.”

He added that the Hostetter website delivers true auctions with the capacity to extend a sale until all bids are exhausted. Sites like eBay, he pointed out, offer only timed sales where a prospective buyer can lose a purchase at the 11th hour, which is called sniping.

“No one likes to get sniped,” Sherman said.

“That won’t happen here.”

Matt noted that the firm’s marketing department is crucial to serving clients, then pointed to staffers Kati Kampi and Janet Karczewski for emphasis.

“Those two are the best in the business, without a doubt.”

Global reach And Matt Hostetter should know. The 31-yearold has pretty much seen it all while traveling the globe to conduct auctions for other companies.

London.

Spain.

Ireland.

The Philippines.

Those are just a few of the places where he’s riffed into the mic during the past

Is this wrong? Should I tell my boyfriend? I don’t know if I’m making too much out of this, or if there are other women out there who are in the same situation. — Curious In Texas Dear Curious: Books have been written about the many varied sexual fantasies women have. Yours is not unusual, and you shouldn’t feel guilty about it. Nothing compels you to share your fantasy with your boyfriend unless you feel a need to. (But if you do, don’t be shocked if he finds it a turn-on, because many men also fantasize about women having sex together.)

Dear Abby: When I visited my sister 15 years ago, my brother-in-law tried to rape me. He was drunk and my sister was out with her friends. I have not revealed this to my family or my sister, who is emotionally and financially dependent on him.

My niece is now 20 years old and in college. I feel I should tell her what her dad did to me and warn her to be careful. What do you think? — Never Forgetting In Pennsylvania Dear Never Forgetting: Frankly, I think that if your brother-in-law was going to assault his daughter, it would have happened already, and you should have told your family what he tried to do to you at the time it occurred.

Sherman, right, and son Matt Hostetter are taking their family business, Hostetter Auctioneers, into the future. few years. Matt has come a long way since he and his sister Kylee attended auctioneer school while growing up. He’s now in demand in other countries for the energy he can bring to a live crowd.

“You might ask, ‘Why would they fly a guy from Beaver Falls to London for an auction? Because the American auctioneer is the gold standard around the world,” he explained. “Our rhythm, our sense of urgency and our speed sets us apart.”

Matt said he continues to grow as a bid caller by recording himself and learning from others.

“Our job is to create excitement with the crowd.

A lot of people would compare it to singing.”

When asked to name some unique items they’ve sold through the years, the two didn’t hesitate.

Sherman said it was deer antlers for Safari Club International. “They were donated by the prince of Spain. They went for something like $20,000.”

Matt recalled an armored personnel vehicle sold in England, and a Lexus SUV used by gold medal sprinter Usain Bolt during the 2012 Summer Olympics in London.

The most expensive? A $1.7 million piece of real estate.

“I’m very blessed to be in this business,” Matt shared.

“I can still have the live auctioneering part in my

life, yet we’re on the cutting edge of online-only auctions.”

Sherman also continues to interact with crowds at live events, primarily at local fundraisers for schools and other organizations.

Like most family business owners, the Hostetters said they don’t subscribe to a five-day work week — nor is it even seven days.

“Ours is a 10-day a week job,” Matt quipped. “We’ve never been to this stage of growth before, so there are some growing pains that take a lot of care.”

He paused to collect his thoughts.

“But it’s much better than sitting there thinking how we’re going to pay the bills.”

While technology has become vital, Sherman added that customer relationships have been, and will remain, a cornerstone.

“Whenever I’m working with someone, I always ask myself, ‘How would I handle this if this was my

mother?’ ” And there’s another question he’s pondered: How long will he continue before officially passing the gavel to Matt and the rest of his family?

But he doesn’t ponder it for long.

“Nowhere in the Bible do I see a 9-to-5 work day, a five-day work week or the word retirement.”

Sherman said friendships forged through the years will keep him going once, going twice …

“We’ve made some wonderful family connections,” he reflected. “When you have an auction, it’s usually during a transition in life — a death, a loss of business. We’re not just selling their assets, we’re trying to walk them through those difficult times.”

So don’t expect to hear the word “sold” anytime soon — at least in terms of selling the family business to a higher bidder.

“The Lord has blessed me,” Sherman said. “I’ll keep doing this for as long as I can.”

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 8, 2016 | BEAVER NEWSPAPERS INC., PENNSYLVANIA | THE TIMES | C3

What wasn’t said on our Memorial Day? The name of a certain politician.

KEILLOR, from C1

-tery after dark and lay on the graves, sometimes intertwined with another, and whispered and touched each other in thrilling ways, knowing that the authorities would not bother us there, and looked up at the Milky Way, our backs to a man our age who had perished of his wounds in Korea, and talked about great things we’d do in the world and lands we’d see, enjoying the privacy of proximity to the dead.

We honored him in our own way, by carrying on his eager faith in the future. If he believed in the boundless promise of the second half of the 20th century, well, so did we, and we were lucky to see it — open-heart surgery, jet travel, the computer, Indian and Thai and Japanese cooking, and all the rest.

What is forbidden at Memorial Day is politics, though of course one thinks of it. William Jennings Bryan, Woodrow Wilson’s secretary of state, resisted the fevers of 1915 and resigned his office in protest, believing that the world war fermenting in Europe would likely lead to another, which turned out to be prophetic. One thinks of the hard-liners who stayed the course in Vietnam. One thinks of Bush and Rumsfeld and Cheney.

Wrong, wrong, wrong.

The heroism of the troops does not absolve the sins of the leaders.

But nothing is said of this, and that is OK. We look at the wreaths and walk away and find a cafe with tables outdoors under the awning and sit in the summer air and order eggs and coffee and turn our attention to the newspaper and the billionaire buffoon who will carry the Republican banner this fall. He is the stupidest man ever to run for the office of president and the ultimate test of whether public education has prepared our people for democracy. So far, not so good.

Like him, I am a draft dodger. I skipped along

for a few years on various deferments and then, when I was ordered to report for induction, I wrote my draft board a long letter explaining why I would not report (the immorality of the war, etc.) and mailed it off and never heard back.

Forty-six years later, no reply.

I feel guilty about this, thinking that someone else may have gone in my place, wondering if someone at the draft board knew my family and tucked my papers into a circular file. I will never know. Only that I skipped out on a war in which more than 58,000 of our people lost their lives.

I used my time to make a career and enjoy romance and family and see the world, and they crashed to earth in the jungle and broke the hearts of loved ones and wound up as names on a wall in Washington.

The other draft dodger hungers for recognition.

He has swept his lackluster opponents from the field of battle by enunciating the irrational fear that a foreign-born president has deliberately driven the country to the brink, enabled by a Washington cabal of think-tank mucketymucks, and so China and Mexico and Iran are sucking the lifeblood out of us. He is onto a conspiracy. He promises to build a wall, deport Muslims, torture terrorists, sock it to the imports, provide health care, and renegotiate trade deals, none of which is in line with classic conservatism.

He has cowed most of his opponents into supporting him, but he himself remains his chief admirer. Nobody else has spoken of Mr. Btfsplk with the fervent affection that Mr. Btfsplk has. His name was not mentioned at our Memorial Day ceremony but he was on our minds.

We still don’t comprehend how this turtle climbed up on that fence post.

Looking to enhance your memory?

Take off your shoes and start doodling.

MEMORY, from C1

Wammes suggested making drawings about important items you want to remember. Of course, the same principle that may make drawing effective — namely, using a diverse range of coordinated brain processes — can also be applied in other ways. For example, Wammes points to previous studies that have found that physical movement can help with verbal memory.

The paper-averse — and the artistically challenged — should take solace: People who drew on a tablet got the same memory-boosting effect as those who used pen and paper, and researchers found no correlation between the quality of the drawings and the quality of the recall.

Roll out the yoga mat According to a study published in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease, yoga may be an effective memory booster, with the added benefit of making us feel better.

In the study, 25 people older than 55 were assigned to weekly, hourlong classes in Kundalini yoga, which involves breathing, meditation and chanting, or memoryenhancement exercises such as mnemonics. Both groups were also given 15 to 20 minutes of homework per night.

The results: Both groups showed statistically similar improvement in verbal memory, but the yoga group also showed an improvement in visual-spatial memory (where you left your keys, for example) as well as in signs of depression and anxiety.

“Yoga is not thought of as a cognitive exercise, but if you try to memorize a sequence of movements or breathe in a sequence, you are exercising the brain and invoking a type of memory,” said Helen Lavretsky, a professor of psychiatry at UCLA’s Geffen School of Medicine and one of the study’s authors. And while the study focused on older individuals, who

A recent study published in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease said yoga may be an effective memory booster. may be more susceptible to conditions such as Alzheimer’s, Lavretsky says she believes that yoga-based interventions can help just about anybody improve memory.

“This yoga practice exercises brain regions that are responsible for cognitive functions,” Lavretsky says. “It doesn’t matter at what age you do it; it’s the same.”

Run barefoot We’ve long known that exercise works out your brain as well as your body. But it turns out that slipping off your shoes — or at least paying attention to where you put your feet — may improve your memory.

In a study published in the journal Perceptual and Motor Skills, researchers at the University of North Florida tested the working memory — that is, memory that goes beyond rote memorization and requires you to connect disparate pieces of knowledge — of 72 participants before and after a run. Some ran with their shoes on while others were told to remove them. A subset of participants was given further instructions to hit tiny targets spaced through-

out the track, effectively forcing them to pay careful attention to where their soles struck.

The researchers found that barefoot runners who were told to hit these targets showed a roughly 16 percent improvement in working memory. This brain boost was not present in their shod peers nor in those who were barefoot but not asked to tap the targets.

According to Tracy Packiam Alloway, a psychology professor at the university and one of the study’s authors, this effect may result from the combination of the increased blood flow that running produces and the forced focus that comes from hitting targets.

“A lot of people say they run to shut down or tune out, which is actually not helping your working memory,” Alloway says. “Barefoot running forces you to pay attention or focus on something so you don’t hurt yourself. It’s like a mini brain workout. You can’t not pay attention.”

Practically speaking, common sense and safety make it unlikely that many people will be able to completely kick their kicks. But if this hypothesis holds through further research, it’s not a huge

leap to imagine that any activity that mixes cardiovascular training with deep focus and attention could help improve your memory.

Get outside In a 2008 study in the journal Psychological Science, researchers at the University of Michigan found that people who stepped outside into a natural or parklike environment showed improvement across a host of cognitive functions — including memory — compared with those who were stuck in a city. The researchers theorized that this effect comes from the attention required to navigate an urban environment in a safe manner (you’ll want to watch out for passing cars, for example), which makes it difficult for your brain to relax and replenish.

The paper’s most head-turning finding: This restorative effect doesn’t even require stepping outside, and it was also found after simply showing people pictures of nature as opposed to urban environments — giving you one more argument for decorating your office or desktop wallpaper with pictures from your last vacation.

Anthony Glenn Hightower passed away Friday, June 3, 2016.

He was born August 25, 1947, in Freedom. After high school graduation, he held several jobs including Rail Road Conductor.

He spent a major part of his life in the East Coast developing good memories with many people including his mother Lucille and father Leroy. He resided in Pasadena, California, for a while before settling down in Pacoima, California, in 1994. He was on Social Security disability and attended Glendale Community College where he earned a certificate of completion for Specialist in Alcohol/Drug studies.

He was open minded and talked freely. He had a passion for politics, took great pleasure in agricultural work and enjoyed watching sports with family and friends.

He loved his family unconditionally and is survived by his wife, Pamela Young Hightower of California; sons, Anthony Jr., Christopher, Andrew, and Xavier of Pennsylvania and Dartanian and Darren of California; daughter, Asia; brothers, Robert of Pasadena, and Leroy, Billy, Brian, Duane of Pennsylvania and Dennis; sisters, Lizzie, Karen, Janice. He has a generous amount of nephews, nieces, grandchildren, greatgrandchildren, other relatives and many friends who shared precious moments in his life.

He was preceded in death by his beautiful daughter, Hope Lynn and brothers, Charles and James.

David Lamb, a wideranging author and Los Angeles Times foreign correspondent who covered wars and coups and was adept at capturing the small-scale human dramas at the heart of global events, died June 5 at a hospital in Alexandria, Va. He was 76.

The cause was esophageal cancer and cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, a cancer of the immune system, said his wife, documentary filmmaker Sandy Northrop.

As a reporter with the Times from 1970 until his retirement in 2004, Lamb filed stories from more than 100 countries and several conflicts, including the Vietnam War, the Persian Gulf War and the Rwandan genocide.

Kim Murphy, the Times’s assistant managing editor for foreign and national news, said Lamb “not only captured the human micro-drama behind cataclysmic world events, he lifted it to an epic scale.”

Visiting Cambodia in 1999, Lamb chose to profile a remote town home to former leaders of the Khmer Rouge, the brutal regime in power from 1975 to 1979 that inflicted countless horrors on the population. Pailin, he wrote, was “a purgatory of last resort, a one-horse town so isolated and primitive and full of sullied memories that life itself feels otherworldly and the darkness of the night is unsettling.”

Covering the decline of Appalachia on a rare stint home in the United States, Lamb took a similar approach, highlighting the coal-mining traditions of one West Virginia town.

“For more than 100 years,” he observed, “the thick coal-laden seams that reach back into the wooded hills have sustained the men of these coal camps who, like their fathers and grandfathers before them,

disappeared each day into the bowels of the earth.”

Lamb was a prolific writer — in addition to his stories for the L.A. Times, he penned a half-dozen books on subjects ranging from sub-Saharan Africa to the glories of minorleague baseball — but was perhaps best known for his work on Vietnam.

He arrived in the country in 1968 as a young reporter for the United Press International wire service, eager to take advantage of the access that the military offered war correspondents at the time.

Traveling between outfits and across the war zone, he found his way to the A Shau Valley in the spring of 1969, where paratroopers were making a bloody frontal assault on a nameless mountain encampment. Lamb, seeking a more colorful story, asked one of the troopers whether soldiers had a name for what was then known to military personnel only as Hill 937, the hill’s height in meters.

“I was hoping he would come up with a punchy, descriptive label that I could use in that day’s dispatch,” Lamb later remembered. “Something like Pork Chop Hill from the Korean War.” The soldier demurred, saying, “I don’t know what anyone else is calling it, but with all this choppedup red meat, it reminds me of a hamburger.”

Lamb jumped on the description. Generalizing to “juice the story up a little,” as he later put it, he filed a report about “the battle that GIs are calling Hamburger Hill.”

The name stuck, joining place names such as Khe Sanh and Ia Drang in a popular catalogue of the war’s futility. News dispatches from “Hamburger Hill” quickly escalated public criticism against the war. The hill was abandoned by U.S. forces two weeks after it was taken.

Street fighter who became internet star, 42

The brawler without bravado became one of the very first Youtube celebrities

By Greg Beacham

Kimbo Slice, a mixed martial arts fighter who died Monday evening at age 42, may be best remembered for the bouts he fought with Bellator and UFC. But before he was a pro fighter, Slice had another — perhaps more important — claim to fame: He was one of the world’s first YouTube celebrities.

This is ancient history in Internet time, of course, but Slice — whose real name was Kevin Ferguson — got his start on YouTube in 2005, before the site had even launched officially. In fact, for a time, the former limo driver and strip club bouncer was arguably more of a household name than the platform was.

“Kimbo Slice is known as one of the first YouTube celebrities,” director Kevin Connolly said in 2011. Connolly had hoped to make a film about Slice’s life. “He was the first person I ever sat in front of a computer and typed somebody’s name into YouTube. His fights ended up on the Internet, his back-yard fights, and he, all of the sudden ... became this celebrity.”

Slice’s YouTube schtick was simple: challenge neighborhood dudes to bare-fisted fights, then slug it out in a South Florida backyard, parking lot or ware-

The Associated Press

Kimbo Slice, the bearded street fighter who parlayed his internet popularity into a mixed martial arts career and worldwide fame, has died.

He was 42.

Slice, whose real name was Kevin Ferguson, was taken to a hospital in Margate, Fla., near his home Monday, Coral Springs Police Sgt. Carla Kmiotek said.

Slice’s death was confirmed by Mike Imber, his longtime manager.

“We lost our brother today,” Imber said in a text message to The Associated Press.

The cause of death was still unclear. Kmiotek said there is no active police investigation, and no foul play is suspected.

Born in the Bahamas and raised in the Miami area, Slice was a strip club bouncer and bodyguard who began competing in unsanctioned street fights in 2003. Videos of his violent knockout victories in those bouts became wildly popular online, both for Slice’s raw punching power and his distinctive, intimidating appearance.

After gaining viral internet fame at a time when the phenomenon was still relatively new, Slice studied MMA and eventually competed for several promotions, including the UFC and

Bellator, which staged his two most recent fights.

While he went only 5-2 and never won a championship belt, the personable Slice became one of MMA’s best-known figures, attracting large television audiences and crowds to his growing sport.

Slice’s death also was confirmed by Scott Coker, the CEO of Bellator, which promoted his return to MMA last year after a five-year absence. Slice beat Dhafir “Dada 5000” Harris with a third-round knockout in February at Bellator 149 in Houston, but the result was overturned after Slice tested positive for steroid use.

“We are all shocked and saddened by the devastating and untimely loss of Kimbo Slice,” Coker said.

“One of the most popular MMA fighters ever, Kimbo was a charismatic, largerthan-life personality that transcended the sport.

Outside of the cage he was a friendly, gentle giant and a devoted family man. His loss leaves us all with extremely heavy hearts.”

Slice was scheduled to headline the Bellator 158 show in London next month in a bout against James Thompson.

He was the star of the first MMA show broadcast on network television, beating Thompson by third-round knockout in May 2008 on CBS with the defunct EliteXC promotion. With Slice and pio-

Although Slice never reached the sport’s competitive heights, his aura never waned among MMA fans: His bout with Harris four months ago drew the largest television ratings in Bellator’s history.

The UFC issued a statement praising Slice, who appeared on a highlyrated season of their long-running reality competition show, “The Ultimate Fighter,” in 2009.

Slice also fought at UFC 113 in Montreal, losing to Matt Mitrione before taking his five-year break from MMA.

“He carried himself as a true professional during his time in our organization,” the UFC’s statement read. “While he will never be forgotten for his fighting style and transcendent image, Slice will also be remembered for his warm personality and commitment to his family and friends.”

American Top Team, the prominent South Florida gym where Slice trained for many years, mourned his passing.

“The ATT Family and South Florida community lost a legend today,” the team said in a post on its Twitter account.

Slice also had a pro boxing career between stints in the cage, going 7-0 with six knockouts from 2011-13.

house. The well-muscled, swaggering guys he faced inevitably ended up on their backs with blood pouring from their noses.

And Slice, in a refreshing show of decency that may have explained his YouTube charm, was generally pretty businesslike about the whole thing — little bravado, no gloating. In one clip, he can be seen walking over to comfort the man whose nose he appears to have just broken.

“I’m not the champ yet,” Slice said, firmly, when his camera guy tried to hype him up before a fight. “But I ain’t scared to beat the champ.”

By 2006, Slice’s videos had been watched several million times — a feat at a time when YouTube averaged only 8 million views a day — and Rolling Stone had dubbed him the “undisputed online king of the underground bareknuckle world.”

Right at the dawn of World Star Hip Hop, and long before stuff like dark Periscope, “Team Kimbo” saw the potential of raw, unfiltered video.

Before there was any viable career path for online celebrities — before online celebrity was even a valid concept, honestly — he ascended from shaky, handheld videos to prime-time fights on CBS.

Bruner, influential psychologist who studied perception, 100

By Matt Schudel The Washington Post

Jerome S. Bruner, who was born blind and, after having his sight restored, spent the rest of his life trying to understand how the human mind perceives the world, leading to influential advances in education and the development of the field of cognitive psychology, died June 5 at his home in New York City. He was 100.

He had an aortic aneurysm several months ago, said his son, Whitley Bruner, but the exact cause of death was not known.

In the 1950s, when Bruner was at Harvard University, he was a key figure in advancing the study of psychology beyond the behaviorist theories of B.F. Skinner, which held that people tended to act logically and in accordance with welldefined rewards and punishments.

During a 70-year academic career, Bruner was a restless researcher who constantly moved from one field to another. This basis of his work was the study of cognition, or what he called “the great question of how you know anything.� But he freely touched on fields as diverse as music, physics,

literature, sociology and the law, drawing connections between cognitive perceptions and judicial decision-making. “He invaded and created new areas of psychology and the social sciences at the speed other people wrote papers,� Howard Gardner, a psychologist and professor at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, said Tuesday in an interview. “He was part of a generation of intellectual giants who roamed across the disciplinary terrain. Bruner and his colleagues gave us a language to see how we make sense of the world.�

One of Bruner’s early discoveries led to the “New Look� school of psychology, in which he showed that people’s perceptions of objects and events are often influenced by unseen social and cultural conditions. In one of his most famous experiments, poor children perceived the size of coins to be significantly larger than richer children did; the larger the monetary value of the coin, the bigger it was imagined to be.

That study helped lead Bruner to conclude that human motivations are far more complex than previously assumed and are

subject to emotions, imagination and cultural training. Two of his early books, “A Study of Thinking� (1956) and “The Process of Education�

(1960), outlined his ideas and codified them in a system that could be used in teaching.

His notions came at a time when U.S. officials, alarmed by the Soviet launch of the Sputnik satellite in 1957, feared that American students were falling behind in science. Bruner thought scientific principles — or any ideas, for that matter — could be grasped by students of any age, provided they were presented in a way they could understand. “Any subject can be taught effectively in some intellectually honest form to any child,� he wrote in “The Process of Education,� “providing attention is paid to the psychological development of the child.�

With George A. Miller, Bruner established the Center for Cognitive Studies in 1960, and it soon became a leading incubator of ideas about psychology, education, language and other fields. Noam Chomsky, the linguistic theorist and social critic, was one of many scholars

who began their careers at the center.

During the 1960s, Bruner was a science adviser to presidents John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson, and his ideas about early education contributed to the development of Head Start. He went on to develop a “spiral curriculum,� in which complex subjects, including anthropology and science, are reintroduced to students year after year at ever-increasing levels of sophistication.

He drew on that idea to design a social science curriculum that was widely used in schools in the 1960s and 1970s before it encountered political opposition for its crosscultural references and emphasis on theory of evolution.

Many of Bruner’s notions, such as the element of emotion in decisionmaking, reflect simple common sense, Gardner said. But it took years for academic psychologists to accept some of his ideas.

For the past 30 years, while teaching at New York University’s law school, Bruner explored the idea of storytelling as a fundamental way of understanding the nature of the world around us. He believed that the choices

we make in telling stories “become so habitual that they finally become recipes for structuring experience itself, for laying down routes into memory,� he said in 1987. “This is a mode of cognition,� Gardner said, “at least as important as STEM� — the science, technology, engineering and mathematics model of instruction that has gained currency in recent years. “He made narrative a form of thinking,� Gardner added.

Jerome Seymour Bruner was born Oct. 1, 1915, in New York City to Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe. He was blind from cataracts at birth, but he underwent surgery at age 2 that gave him limited vision. He wore thick glasses throughout his life.

He was about 12 when his father, a watchmaker, died. But before his death, his father sold his business to Bulova, leaving the family well off.

Bruner became interested in psychology at Duke University, from which he graduated in 1937. He received master’s and doctoral degrees in psychology from Harvard in 1939 and 1941, respectively.

During World War II, he

held jobs in military intelligence, using his training to examine propaganda. He joined the Harvard faculty in 1945, then left in 1972 to teach at the University of Oxford in England. (He sailed his boat across the Atlantic.)

He returned to the United States in 1980, teaching first at the New School in New York, then joining NYU. He continued to lead occasional seminars on cognitive theories behind the law until he was 98.

His books included “On Knowing: Essays for the Left Hand� (1962) about the importance of spontaneity and intuition in thinking; “In Search of Mind: Essays in Autobiography� (1983); and, with law professor Anthony G. Amsterdam, “Minding the Law� (2000), which examines legal thinking through storytelling and language.

His marriages to Katherine Frost and Blanche Ames Marshall ended in divorce. His third wife, Carol Feldman, died in 2006. Survivors include two children from his first marriage, Whitley Bruner of Vienna, Va., and Jane Mullane of Tewksbury, England; and three grandchildren.

Bridge French brilliancy A six-diamond contract would need no more than a good guess in diamonds.

Six clubs appears to have no chance.

South was French World Champion Michel Lebel, who never thinks that he has no chance.

Lebel won the opening heart lead in hand perforce, and led a trump to dummy’s ace. Now came the key play — Lebel led a heart from dummy and ruffed it before continuing to draw all of the trumps. Lebel now guessed the diamonds correctly by leading a diamond to the ace and then playing a low diamond from both hands, losing to West’s king. This was the position: NORTH

West could safely discard a spade on the queen of diamonds, but he had to give up when Lebel cashed the eight of diamonds — a heart discard and dummy’s six would be good, or a spade discard would allow the queen of spades to take the last trick. A beauty!

Google’s computers are creating songs. But is it really art?

Artificial intelligence of Magenta Project arranges notes using library of recordings

By Matt McFarland The Washington Post

Google has launched a project to use artificial intelligence to create compelling art and music, offering a reminder of how technology is rapidly changing what it means to be a musician, and what makes us distinctly human.

Google’s Project Magenta, announced this month, aims to push the state of the art in machine intelligence that’s used to generate music and art.

“We don’t know what artists and musicians will do with these new tools, but we’re excited to find out,” said Douglas Eck, the project’s leader in a blog post. “Daguerre and later Eastman didn’t imagine what Annie Liebovitz or Richard Avalon would accomplish in photography. Surely Rickenbacker and Gibson didn’t have Jimi Hendrix or St. Vincent in mind.”

Google has already released a song demonstrating the technology.

The song was created with a neural network — a computer system loosely modeled on the human brain — which was fed recordings of a lot of songs. With exposure to tons of examples, the neural network soon

begins to realize which note should come next in a sequence. Eventually the neural network learns enough to generate entire songs of its own.

The project has just begun so the only available tools now are for musicians with machine learning expertise. Google hopes to produce — along with contributors from outside Google — more tools that will be useful to a broad group, including artists with minimal technical expertise.

Efforts to use computers to make music stretch back decades. But experts say what’s unique here is the extent of Google’s computing power and its decision to share its tools with everyone, which may accelerate innovation.

“It’s a potential gamechanger because so many academics and developers in companies can get their hands on this library and can start to create songs and see what they can do,” said Gil Weinberg, the director of Georgia Tech’s center for music technology.

David Cope, a retired professor at the University of CaliforniaSanta Cruz and pioneer in computer generated music, believes it’s inevitable that one day the best composers will use artifi-

cial intelligence to aid their work.

“It’s going to rampage through the film music industry,” Cope said. “It’s going to happen just as cars happened and we didn’t have the horse and buggy anymore.” He’s confident in this given the exponential growth of computing power, which for decades has doubled about every two years.

With digital tools improving so quickly, it’s become difficult for musicians to stay on the cutting edge while also mastering their instrument of choice.

“The violinist uses the same instrument for a whole career potentially, and they develop the kind of virtuosity on that instrument because they have that intimate relationship with it day after day for years and years,” said Peter Swendsen, an Oberlin professor of computer music and digital arts. “Software comes and goes in weeks sometimes.”

Amper Music is a new start-up that like Google is interested in harnessing the latest software to create music. Amper uses artificial intelligence to create original songs that match the emotions a video producer wants to convey in their work.

Creating the music takes only seconds.

“If you take the sum of everything that has affected music historically and add them together, in 20 or 30 years I think you’d look back and say wow, music AI rivals all of that,” said its co-founder, Drew Silverstein.

For now, the potential of music made with artificial intelligence is still largely unrealized.

Silverstein is only beginning to tap the entertainment market in Los Angeles. The song Google’s Magenta project released this week demonstrates what it’s currently capable of, but also how much work lies ahead.

“It is indeed very basic,” said Swendsen, the Oberlin professor, after listening to the song.

“That’s not to say that the system they are using

“It’s a potential game-changer because so many academics and developers in companies can get their hands on this library and can start to create songs and see what they can do.” gil weinberg, director of the georgia tech center for music technology

doesn’t hold lots of promise or isn’t working on a much deeper level than a simple random generator.”

The emerging power of this technology is also a wake-up call for what makes us really human.

“A lot of the uniqueness that we like to ascribe to ourselves becomes threatened, “ said George Lewis, a professor of American music at Columbia University. “People have to get the idea out of their head that music comes from great individuals. It doesn’t; it comes from

communities, it comes from societies. It develops over many years, and computers become a part of societies.”

As machines have become more a part of our lives, we can count on them to share in the artistic process. For the 75-year-old Cope, this is a great thing, and nothing to be afraid of.

“The computer is just a really, really high-class shovel,” Cope said. “I love this new stuff and want it to come fast enough so I’m not dead when it happens.”

Guns N’ Roses singer Axl Rose wants an unflattering ‘fat’ picture removed from the internet

By Abby Ohlheiser The Washington Post

In 2010, a Winnipeg Free Press photographer covered a Guns N’ Roses concert, snapping photos of Axl Rose. The images ran with the paper’s favorable review of the show. The photos caught the attention of Gauntlet, a heavy metal news site that republished the photos under a very different headline: “OMFG Axl Rose is fat.”

This was the beginning of “Fat Axl,” a mean

Home or

Office

Internet meme that involves rewriting Guns N’ Roses songs to mock the appearance of 2010s-era Rose. And it appears that Rose has had enough of it: Google received a whole bunch of DMCA copyright notices over the past week requesting the removal of one of those images from the internet.

The notices, filed on behalf of Rose, target several cropped versions of the original unflattering photo, along with others

that have been captioned in keeping with the spirit of the meme. One image is captioned, “take me down to the bakery city/where the pies have cream and the cakes are tasty.”

“Copyright image of Axl Rose,” the notices, filed by Web Sheriff on behalf of Rose read. “Please note that no permission has been granted to publish the copyright image so we cannot direct you to an authorized example of it.”

The complaints are avail-

able for public viewing in the Lumen database.

It is very understandable why Rose would not like the “Fat Axl” meme, which exists entirely to mock his weight. The macros, using the Winnipeg Free Press photos and a couple of other alternatives, have circulated on the Internet for years. Uproxx turned a version of the meme into an article in 2011, following the lead of a Buzzfeed community post.

Female-driven comedies still face uphill battle in Hollywood ‘Bridesmaids’ was supposed to change the game, but ‘Ghostbusters’ proves otherwise

have to be put through litmus tests all the time.

What if ‘Ghostbusters’ doesn’t work?” Feig said. “If a giant tent pole starring men doesn’t do well, people don’t go ‘oh well, we can’t have guys in movies anymore.’”

Kay Cannon, who wrote the a cappella comedy “Pitch Perfect” and its sequel, which together cost $46 million to make and earned $402.9 million worldwide, has had similar experiences.

“I feel like with every movie, we’re auditioning to be members of this business,” she said.

Former Universal Pictures Chairman Adam Fogelson, who greenlit “Bridesmaids” and “Pitch Perfect,” sees it differently.

“I think it is true that the movies are discussed that way. I’m not sure I think it’s true that in fact each movie carries that weight. People tend to forget just how many

AP Film Writer

LOS ANGELES — “Bridesmaids” was supposed to change the game for the female-driven comedy. But each new movie is still treated like a beta test for the genre and the next unwitting subjects are “Ghostbusters,” out July 15, and “Bad Moms,” out July 29. Isn’t it supposed to be summer?

“Let’s wait and see how Ghostbusters does” has become a common phrase in the press and the industry — as if the future of female-led comedic blockbusters depends on Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Leslie Jones, and Kate McKinnon.

It all sounds eerily familiar to director Paul Feig, the high priest of female ensemble comedy.

He heard the same thing with “Bridesmaids.”

“It’s unfair that women

success stories there are,” Fogelson said, rattling off titles like “9 to 5,” ‘’The First Wives Club,” ‘’Bring It On,” ‘’Clueless,” ‘’Mean Girls” and “Baby Mama.”

In his mind, if “Bridesmaids” was breaking any new ground, it was around the R-rating.

Fogelson’s company STX Entertainment is behind “Bad Moms,” starring Mila Kunis, Kristen Bell and Kathryn Hahn, which he guarantees will have an R-rating, too.

“There is no honest PG-13 expression of the frustrations, the challenges and the hilarity of pursuing perfect parenthood,” Fogelson said.

He also recognizes that beyond its R-rating, “Bridesmaids” took on an added significance that snowballed externally.

“Legally Blonde” coscreenwriter Kirsten “Kiwi” Smith was one leading the charge.

“I sent out a mass email saying ‘please support the endangered species of the female-driven comedy,’” Smith said.

As with most things in Hollywood, the effects of the film’s phenomenal success were complicated.

Feig and his stars did well.

“Pitch Perfect” got off the ground. But Smith’s peers weren’t seeing an uptick in project sales.

“It was like, ‘no, wait, this isn’t supposed to be happening. The movie’s a hit.

Now we’re supposed to be able to sell all our femaledriven comedies,’” she said.

“It didn’t happen.”

She thinks some thought “Bridesmaids” was an anomaly.

Feig, meanwhile, continued to do his thing.

“I was hoping that I’d be able to show Hollywood that these movies are profitable and that they can stop using the excuse that men won’t show up,” Feig said.

He disproved the old box office myth that female-led movies “don’t travel” by creating “Spy,” a movie with all the elements of a marketable action-comedy that just happened to have a woman, McCarthy, as the lead.

But, again, it seemed to only benefit his circle.

“My end game wasn’t ‘OK, Paul Feig will make all the female-led movies,’” Feig said.

Now he’s dismayed that every summer there only seem to be a few, despite continued proof that they’re just good business.

For instance, in the summer of 2015, the socalled “summer of women,” four female-led studio comedies (“Pitch Perfect 2,” ‘’Trainwreck,” ‘’Spy,” ‘’Hot Pursuit”) made over $715 million at the worldwide box office. The price tag: $164 million.

The Face of Local Real Estate We were introduced to Mike from SWC through our lender as a realtor to use in our area, and we can’t say enough about how pleased we were with our interaction! From the very beginning, Mike was very helpful in working with our schedules and making it very easy to be able to see the homes we wanted to see.

You want a realtor who is available to answer all your questions, and Mike certainly was!

The time of day or day of week wasn’t an issue, and we were able to always be in contact with him. When it came down to the logistics, we really didn’t have to worry about things. Mike made sure on our end that we had things done in a timely manner and communicated very well with the sellers’ agent. As first time home buyers, it was great to have a personal connection as well with Mike; he always asked about our children and was exceptionally easy to speak with. While we are sure this won’t be our last home we buy, we are sure that our first call will be to SWC for Mike Miller. Thank you so much, Mike, for making this such a great experience for our family.

Articles of Incorporation Auditor’s Report Bids Requested Estate Notices Fictitious Names Meetings Ordinances Public Hearings Public Notices Sheriff’s Sale NOTICE OF PROPOSED ORDINANCE The following is the summary of an Ordinance which will be acted upon by the council of Fallston Borough at the regular business meeting on Wednesday, June 15, 2016 at 7:00 p.m. in the meeting chambers of Fallston Borough located in the Fallston Borough Building at 90 Beaver Street, Fallston, Pennsylvania. A summary of the Ordinance is as follows, and a full text of the Ordinance is available for review by contacting the Township Secretary during regular business hours at 724-846-1865.

SUMMARY OF THE ORDINANCE The Ordinance amends Ordinance No. 242 which provided for the levying, assessment and collection of a per capita tax on all residents and inhabitants of the Borough of Fallston of the age of twenty-one (21) years and over to all such residents and inhabitants being eighteen (18) years of age and over.

Further, it also provides that in addition to said per capita tax being collected by the duly elected tax collector of said Borough, that it may also be collected by such other persons or entities that may be appointed by Borough Council by Resolution from time to time.

This amendment of the per capita tax Ordinance was necessitated in the interest of uniformity, convenience and fairness since the per capita tax as imposed by the New Brighton School District is on individuals eighteen (18) years of age and older and not just those over the age of twenty-one (21). Further by authorizing collection by other than just the elected tax collector of Fallston Borough, the Borough may insure that the taxpayers will pay the Borough per capita and the school per capita to the same collector.

The anticipated amount of additional revenue to be derived from this amendment is $50 per annum.

IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS OF BEAVER COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA CHICAGO TITLE : CIVIL ACTION INSURANCE COMPANY, : Plaintiff, : DOCKET NO. 11389-2014 v. : CLOSINGSPACE, INC. f/k/a : SERVICE BY PUBLICATION FIRST MERIT SETTLEMENT : PURSUANT TO SERVICES, INC. and BRIAN C. : Pa. R. Civ. P. 430(b)(1) ULANOWICZ, : Defendants. : NATURE OF THE ACTION This action arises from an August 29, 2003 title insurance agency agreement between Defendant Closingspace, Inc. and American Pioneer Title Insurance Company (a predecessor-ininterest of Plaintiff). Defendant Ulanowicz personally guaranteed the agreement. Defendant Closingspace issued three title insurance policies underwritten by Plaintiff’s predecessor in 2006 and 2007, relative to properties in Broward County, Florida; Charlotte County, Florida; and Harford County, Maryland. Errors in Defendant Closingspace’s preparation of the policies, and in failing to record an insured instrument, caused Plaintiff to incur losses in the principal amount of $63,955.12, together with fees and costs. Plaintiff seeks to recoup its losses, fees, and costs from Defendants.
