Uniontown neighborhood working to clean up after tornado rips through area Thursday

tornado ripped through Uniontown Thursday evening, damaging dozens of homes and leaving streets littered with full roofs and walls, uprooted trees and downed utility poles.

Two young children and their mother were trapped in a trailer in the area of Reppert Boulevard for about 20 minutes before a family member and a neighbor cleared the wreckage to free them. Doug Vandivner pulled up to his home just moments after the tornado hit, and immediately took action to save his niece,

“We’re going to do our best to try to rebuild. That’s all we can do.”

— Doug Vandivner, Reppert Avenue nephew and sister-in-law.

“It was like I got super-human strength, and I just started throwing things” he said. “Thank God me and the neighbor were able to bust the door and get the kids out.”

Once Randi Geelen realized they were trapped, she stood on a refrigerator

Restored ‘Porgy and Bess’ gets key test on road to Met Opera ANN ARBOR, Mich.

(AP) — A restored edition of a pioneering, enduring American opera emerges at a time when its racial and social themes are as relevant as the era in which it premiered.

The long-in-the-works “The Gershwins’ Porgy and Bess” gets a test-drive Saturday in Michigan on the road to a planned, official debut in 2020 by the Metropolitan Opera in New York.

University of Michigan musicologist Mark Clague says restoring

original elements provides “a deeper artistic engagement” for a 1930s work criticized for cultural appropriation by its white creators but praised for affirming humanity.

The Gershwin expert adds that the opera’s themes of mistreatment at the hands of law enforcement and the justice system remain part of the black experience.

With this performance and an accompanying symposium, Clague says, “We’re confronting those moments.”

Thought for Today “The lack of a sense of history is the damnation of the modern world.”

Clarion call

Parental action needed as substitute for legislative inaction regarding shootings It’s difficult to organize thoughts beyond the heartbreaking acknowledgment that an extraordinary tragedy occurred Wednesday in Florida. Seventeen people will be buried and many others were injured when an 19-year-old allegedly pulled a fire alarm and shot at students as they exited classrooms.

Multiple media reports said it was the 18th school shooting in the U.S. in 2018. It was the third deadliest school shooting behind Virginia Tech and Sandy Hook.

It’s a sad commentary that we quantify them by rank now because there are so many.

The crush of media coverage brought with it politicians and pundits.

They circled their wagons around discussions of gun control and mental illness, familiar talking points in the face of all-too-frequent mass casualty incidents.

Their talk, absent action, is tiresome.

The divide between parties seems so deep that we the people are swallowed up in the chasm it has created. It’s far beyond simply “not acceptable” that political agendas stymie change.

Continued discussion without compromise that leads to a resolution will not solve this problem.

So as our lawmakers to continue to talk, we must look to ourselves and begin to act, doing the things we can at the grassroots level to try to curb the violent acts of our young people.

We must begin to affect change on the most basic level, starting with the things we can control in our homes.

Parents, engage with your children.

Put down your phone; make them do the same. Don’t communicate through text messages and “likes” on Facebook.

We’ve become a society of electronic communication. While it’s convenient, talking through a screen robs us of the opportunity for the genuineness that comes with a face-to-face conversation. There’s no way to gauge a facial expression, hear the tone of words or see a reaction with a screen between you.

Sit down with your children and talk to them. It may feel funny at first, they may not like it, but parents must persist.

Show them that you care, and find out what you may be missing. Hopefully it’s nothing — but parental concern expressed up close and personal, done with care and love, is a strong first step toward giving a child a hand up during what can be confusing and stressful years.

Let your children know that you are their safe place, and mean it.

Parents have to be available, and decide to be the example that children will look to when they are deciding what to say or how to act.

Through that love, that example, maybe parents can make a dent in the sad reality of school shootings. Maybe the adults in the lives of children can be the release valve for fear, angst and confusion.

Folks, we have to start somewhere.

Our leaders huff and puff; they debate and deride one another. If we wait for them to make the change, it may never come.

We need to take these matters into our own hands, and we need to accept our individual responsibilities for trying to make this world better.

They say we should learn to accept the things we cannot change, but right now, we need to decide to change the things we cannot accept.

Civic pride down since WWI generation

Tucked into an inconspicuous corner among shelves of books at home is a slender volume dedicated to the men and women of an earlier generation, the World War I generation, titled “Uniontown’s Part in the World War.” Sorry, but these people, at least as presented in the book, should humble those of us who are around one-hundred years later. It is easy to see that they had more civic pride and superior local leadership than we do. They were citizens of the world in ways we can never be. And as Americans united in a common endeavor, they trusted one another and depended on one another to a degree we might find it hard to fathom.

2018 marks the 100th anniversary of the end of the war that was fought, on the American side, to “make the world safe for democracy,” a formulation of their president, Woodrow Wilson, whose historical reputation has been battered the past few years by charges of racism.

But that is beside the point here. Except for one photograph, Wilson goes unmentioned. It seems Americans in 1918-19 could safely ignore the president of the United States.

“Uniontown’s Part in the World War” contains hundreds of small portrait photos accompanied by short biographies of the men from Uniontown and several nearby communities (Dunbar, Fairchance, Masontown, Point Marion, Perry Township) who served in the armed services during the war which began for the United States in April 1917. (The rest of the world began heaving bombs in 1914.)

Some names are familiar, retaining a certain local

Richard Robbins resonance. There’s Louis Agostini and Stephen Haky and George Titlow Jr. There are a slew of Semans — Francis, Josiah, Thomas, and William. There’s a future mayor of Uniontown, J. Watson Sembower.

While men dominate the book, one of the biographies that caught my eye was that of Red Cross volunteer Pauline Abraham of Uniontown, assigned to Newport News, Va. There she stayed after the war, marrying a shipyard engineer named Clark Styron. They had a son, novelist William Styron.

Pauline died of cancer in the ’30s; she’s buried at Oak Grove Cemetery in Uniontown.

Uniontown army recruit Manuel White died of pneumonia during the war. Andrew Winsler died in an “aerial” bombardment. The dead also included Edgar Sheets, Scott Sechler and Russell Hart.

Russell Rutter was “gassed”; Lynton Hazelbaker was “shellshocked.”

John Smore died Nov. 26, 1918, 15 days after the Armistice was signed.

On the flip side, Chads Chalafant was discharged from the service the same day he was

sworn in, Armistice Day itself, Nov. 11.

I was surprised to find a photo and short bio of John Sturgeon, whose homey doctor’s office on Gallatin Avenue was torn down to make way for today’s Uniontown city hall.

I remember a kindly, grayhaired pediatrician. It says, here, he was born in 1896, which means he wasn’t yet 60 when he was looking after me.

All the famous battlefields of the World War are mentioned in the book: Argonne Forest, the Marne, Chateau Thierry, Belleau Woods. These mean little or nothing to us today, but once upon a time they were drenched in blood, and famous.

Irene and Elsie Goldstein of Uniontown did volunteer work in a Hungarian hospital in 1915, part of a months’ long sojourn through war-torn Europe starting in the summer of 1914. Elsie’s essay in the book never explains why they went or why they stayed once the shooting began.

It speaks volumes that they felt comfortable doing so; well, they felt comfortable up to a point.

“I was overcome with fright,” Elsie writes, while “I was locked in the waiting room of a (railway) depot” and “awakened every so often by the footsteps of two (German) armed guards ... After that nothing could hold us back from leaving for home.”

Almost daily during the war, army convoys rolled on the National Pike (Route 40) through Uniontown, on their way to embarkation points on the East Coast, a second essay explains.

Traveling in “great Liberty trucks,” the convoys, averaging 70 miles a day, would

typically park on West Fayette Street for the night before tackling the mountains early the next morning.

A Uniontown canteen operated by the Red Cross and “Mrs. James Clark Work” sprang into action to feed the convoys’ officers and men.

One convoy stood out for Mrs. Work, the canteen leader.

Sept. 12, 1918, was chilly with a “drenching rain” adding to the “discomfort.” The convoy from Camp Taylor, Kentucky, parked on West Main Street.

The men hunkered down for the night without “a word of complaint ... every man justifying his uniform as an American soldier.”

The downtown Third Presbyterian Church dining room was turned into a mess hall.

During the influenza epidemic, Uniontown Hospital treated the sick. At the approach of cold weather, Uniontown firemen rigged up army “winter headquarters” in the municipal building. The doors of Penn Theater were thrown open for entertainment. On Armistice night, the Country Club hosted a dance for the stranded soldiers.

The convoys, with a total of 7,413 men, conveyed the significance and scope of the war to locals. Their presence spurred Uniontown civilians to get involved in the war effort.

The townspeople and soldiers bore the burden of war together. That’s something those of us in civilian life today would know nothing about.

Richard Robbins lives in Uniontown and is the author of two books — Grand Salute: Stories of the World War II Generation and Our People. He can be reached at dick.l.robbins@gmail.com.

Commentary

Washington’s history is complicated What do you mean that America’s youth know little about George Washington, except that he was a slave owner?

Few schools teach children about George Washington anymore. And as more towns remove Confederate statues from public land, related news stories are emerging that focus on the complications of historical figures, such as Washington, who owned slaves.

As we apply contemporary morality to historical figures, I can understand how things might get complicated. But Washington was still one of our greatest leaders!

It’s true. Many scholars and historians rank him as our greatest president and one of the primary reasons the experiment called America was able to work. His story is one and the same with America’s story.

Go on.

From early on, Washington was a natural leader. He had an imposing presence, standing nearly 6-foot-3 at a time when the average man was about 5-foot-8. And he was invincible. During one battle in the French and Indian War, four bullets ripped his

Tom Purcell coat and two horses were shot from under him, yet he was unscathed.

He was our first real action figure!

He represented the rebellious American spirit, you see, and he led the charge to break away from the restrictions and regulations of the British. In 1775, he took command of our motley crew of an army and led it in a war that lasted six grueling years. Many historians believe that no other leader could have won this war.

I read that he was so popular after winning the war, he could have become a king, but wanted nothing to do with that.

That is also true. He used his

immense popularity to help establish our Constitution, which grants power to us little folks.

Then he reluctantly became our first president. He wanted nothing to do with that job, either, but knew our fledgling government needed his leadership to survive.

Well, we did survive and went on to become quite a success story. What did Washington do after serving his country for so many years?

He returned to his beloved Mt. Vernon to farm and enjoy life. He devoted himself to innovating new farming techniques and he also owned one of the largest whiskey distilleries in the country. Which brings us back to the domestic slaves who helped him run his vast business operations.

Go on.

History.com says Washington’s views of slavery evolved over his life: ‘During the Revolutionary War, he became more uncomfortable with the thought of purchasing and owning other human beings.

But though he supported abolition in theory, he never tried it in practice.’’

I thought that upon his death, he freed the slaves who worked on his plantation.

According to History.com,

he did promise in his will to free all of his slaves upon his death. But only one slave went free initially.

Why the heck did that happen?

History.com says that it had to do ‘with law, marriage and a family that disagreed with their patriarch’s evolving views on slavery.’ Washington’s will also stipulated that his slaves would remain with his wife, Martha, for the rest of her life.

But Martha freed them?

History.com says that she may have done so either because they were expensive to keep or because she feared they would poison her. She freed the rest of his 123 slaves one year after his death, though she kept 153 of her own slaves.

I see what you mean by our history being “complicated.”

Look, Washington was a great man by multiple measures. But his thoughts on slavery were contradictory.

The fact is, according to MountVernon.org, he was America’s only slave-owning Founding Father to free his slaves in his will!

Tornado Continued from A1

and waved for help.

Six people lived in the trailer.

“For it to actually happen to your family and your home, it’s surreal,” Vandivner said about three hours after the tornado. “I still feel like I’m dreaming. I’m just glad they’re OK.” Vandivner said they did not have insurance. He stayed with his family in a hotel Thursday night after working until 2 a.m. to repair the damage, and returned again Friday morning. The trailer was covered in tarps Friday afternoon as he and his neighbors drove nails through boards to build a new frame.

“We’re going to do our best to try to rebuild.

That’s all we can do,” he said Thursday night.

“And even if we can’t, we’ll figure things out.

We’re strong. We know how to figure things out.”

The National Weather Service in Pittsburgh sent a storm survey team to gauge the storm’s impact and confirmed Friday afternoon the tornado touched down in the city at about 6:45 p.m. with winds reaching 105 miles per hour. It was categorized as an EF1 on the Enhanced Fujita scale, a measure of the strength of tornadoes. EF1 tornadoes produce winds from 86-110 miles per hour.

Meteorologist Matthew Kramar said February tornadoes are very rare.

“This is the one month we had not recorded a tornado since 1950, and now we have,” he said.

The tornado’s path was two miles long and 1/4 mile wide, according to the National Weather Service. The service has recorded 11 tornadoes in Fayette County, including three categorized as EF1.

Between 20 and 25 buildings were significantly damaged by the tornado, said Uniontown Emergency Management Agency coordinator Greg Crossley, after completing an initial assessment with the county and state emergency management agencies. Officials are working to determine whether the storm damage will qualify for Small Business Administration loans, which require at least 25 properties with 40 percent or more uninsured loss. He said many of the homeowners had insurance.

Several businesses were also damaged.

States of emergency were declared for the cities of Uniontown and Connellsville. The Red Cross opened an

emergency shelter at the East End Community Center at 150 Coolspring Street for anyone displaced by the severe weather.

Fayette County dispatchers processed 500 calls within three hours Thursday night, and kept busy Friday as calls poured in for flooding, according to Fayette County Emergency Management Agency spokeswoman Susan Griffith.

She advised drivers use extreme caution, especially on roads prone to flooding.

Driving up North Gallatin Avenue Thursday evening just before 10 p.m., Uniontown Mayor Ed Fike reported that Gallatin Avenue and Millview Street had gotten hit particularly hard.

“I’ve been in

Uniontown my whole life, but never seen anything like this,” he said Friday.

A tree fell on a truck in Pershing Court, crushing the roof down to the floor boards, he said. In the areas of Millview and Lennox streets, first responders were blocked by the huge number of fallen trees.

The tornado appeared to move uphill through the city, losing force as it moved toward North Union Township. Dozens of homes and buildings were damaged, some destroyed. Debris, trees and downed wires made many streets and alleys impassable, even by foot.

“Keep going. Don’t come back,” a firefighter shouted to a group of people picking their way through debris on Crow Avenue.

A wooden plank impaled a roof on Gallatin

He was home when the tornado came from the west and hit his home, tearing shingles from the roof and shattering windows.

Ferris said the approaching tornado sounded “like they always say.”

“It was high winds, rain, and then it cracked,” said Terri Ferris.

“That’s when we started running,” Brent Ferris said.

Brent’s Tavern, his bar in front of the house, also sustained damage.

He said it did not appear as bad as his home. He

Fifth person charged in Uniontown robbery death

By Alyssa Choiniere

achoiniere@heraldstandard.com

A fifth person was charged with homicide Friday in the shooting death of a 25-year-old man at a vacant Pershing Court apartment Nov. 27.

Uniontown City Police issued an arrest warrant for Devin Michael Fitzgerald, 28, of West Askren Street in the death of Marquell Bailey.

According to the affidavit of probable cause filed in his case, Fitzgerald, Megan Marie Bowlen, 24, and Miranda Engle, 31, and Joel Grooms, 30, and Bailey, all of Uniontown, conspired to rob Derek

Lee Royster, 29, at the apartment.

Engle called Royster to set up a drug deal about an hour before the shooting at 6:30 p.m. The four people waited for Royster to arrive with cocaine at the 61 Pershing Court apartment, with the women in the living room and the men in the dining room, according to court paperwork.

Royster arrived, and a fight broke out over the cocaine.

He showed the women the cocaine in the living room as Bailey walked in and tried to punch Royster, prompting him to pull out a gun and shoot

Bailey in the chest, police said.

He then allegedly shot twice at Bowlen, who hit behind the couch. Grooms and Engle ran out the back door.

After Royster fled in a red pickup, Bowlen ran out the back door and called 911. She later returned to perform CPR on Bailey, who was bleeding and gasping for air, according to police.

He was taken to Uniontown Hospital by ambulance, where he died.

Bowlen washed blood from her hands at her nearby apartment with Engle, then the two left

the area, police said.

They were arrested later the night. Royster was arrested Nov. 30. City police were searching for Grooms for three weeks before a tip led to his arrest Dec. 18.

Fitzgerald, Grooms, Engle and Bowlen are charged with criminal homicide, robbery and conspiracy to commit robbery.

Royster is charged with criminal homicide, attempted homicide, possession with intent to deliver drugs, four counts of aggravated assault and three counts of recklessly endangering another person.

inherited the bar from his father.

Further uphill, a house collapsed near the intersection of Bailey Avenue and Lemon Street.

“The front of the house was laying in the street, but they brought it up here,” said a woman whose cousin lives at the home. “The door is still standing up!” she added with a laugh.

The tenant was lying in the living room when the tornado hit, ripping two walls from the room and tearing his TV from a third wall, said his father, Alvin Green on Friday. His son ran to hide in the bathroom, the only room with four walls still standing.

“He called and said his house was gone.

His mom said, ‘What do you mean your house is gone?’ I thought it was a fire,” he said.

Green lives uphill from his son and saw high winds, a downpour and debris flying through the air. His house was undamaged.

“This is unbelievable here, and he didn’t have a scratch on him,” he said.

Only one minor injury was reported in the storm when a door blew inside and struck a woman in the ribs, according to Crossley.

Another person had an anxiety attack on Cleveland Avenue, but crews were delayed by the debris in the road, Uniontown City Police said.

“Other than that, very blessed,” Crossley said.

“No major injuries and no fatalities. Given the scope of this thing, that’s pretty significant.”

Jim Bittner of Fayette County Emergency Management Agency said Thursday night that the areas hit hardest by the storm were parts of Gallatin Avenue, Reppert Boulevard and Connellsville Street.

Several houses were heavily damaged along Cleveland Avenue in Uniontown, where traffic light outages and debris abounded in addition to a partial building collapse on Morgantown Street near DiMarco’s Bistro & Cantina.

“I told my niece this afternoon, ‘Take a last look at this building,” Rev. Pete Malik said, recalling driving past what he identified as the old, dilapidated EllisBurchinal building on Morgantown Street with his 9-year-old niece Evangelina around 5:30 p.m.

Four hours later, Malik was taking photos of the partial building collapse next to DiMarco’s at 26 Morgantown St., amazed at how prophetic he had been.

Laurel Highlands Senior High School was closed Friday due to

a power outage at the high school building and administrative offices, according to Superintendent Jesse Wallace.

The other schools in the district operated on a two-hour delay.

There were more than 3,000 West Penn Power customers in Fayette County affected by outages Thursday night, the company’s 24/7 Power Center reported, including 1,975 in Uniontown, 749 in North Union Township. 120 in South Union Township and 97 in Bullskin Township.

By approximately 4:30 p.m. Friday, the number of customers affected by outages county-wide had dwindled to 577, including 321 in Uniontown and 226 in North Union Township.

The estimated time of restoration at that point was Saturday at 9 p.m. for Uniontown and North Union Township.

Parts of Uniontown’s West End were hit hard as well, resulting in power outages, downed trees and mailboxes.

“It looked like somebody had a garbage can and just dumped stuff,” said Laura Hill of Elizabeth Street, adding that the storm shook every window in her house around 7 p.m.

Jared Gregor, pastor at The Journey church on West Fayette Street in Uniontown, rushed home from the church after his wife Jenna told him about the storm, which ripped most of the pickets out of his fence.

“It was just really nice seeing the whole community helping out,” said Gregor, whose friends helped him clean up after the storm Thursday evening.

The Fayette County Chamber of Commerce is hosting a free soup and sandwich lunch from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Monday for first responders, volunteers and anyone affected by the tornado and flooding at 65 West Main Street in Uniontown.

“Everybody is reaching out to help.

We have a lot of volunteers,” said Fike, adding that Connellsville offered volunteers and equipment.

“One thing about it, when something like this happens and people are down, there are always people that want to give a helping hand,” he said.

Crossley said he was impressed by the cooperation and communication among those aiding with the storm.

“Hopefully the rain stops, and folks can get back to some kind of normal,” he said Friday evening.

Connellsville Area School District parents got an automated call early Friday from Interim Superintendent David McDonald reporting that the district never had a substantiated threat amid rumors of gun violence centering on Connellsville Area High School and the district’s career and technical center.

McDonald noted that

the district investigates any potential threat to students and staff, “large or small,” and found rumors that school officials learned of Thursday evening and Friday morning to be untrue, including information that someone was going to shoot people at school and a call about shots being fired.

No one was arrested or taken into custody by either school or city police amid the unsubstantiated

threat, McDonald reported, after rumors swirling regarding those actions had some parents coming to the school Friday to bring their children home.

McDonald stressed that the district is dealing with statements, made even in a joking matter, strictly.

“This is a tough time,” McDonald said, noting the 17 people killed at a Parkland, Fla. high school Wednesday afternoon.

“But at the same time,

we’ve got to come together as a community and face this head on.”

The Connellsville Area School Board will be voting at this month’s meeting to arm additional security guards in addition to the one armed guard it has now, McDonald said.

“We’ve got to stand up for our kids,” McDonald said. “Enough’s enough.”

roadway until PennDOT cleared the area.

He added that PennDOT closed or restricted around 15 statemaintained roads and adding once the non-state roads are factored in, they had nearly 20 to 25 road closings or restrictions in the county.

“We had few reports of trees down—a couple of trees fell over, but nothing major,” O’Neil said.

O’Neil added there were a few overnight rescues in the county with people stuck in their vehicles.

“They drove in flood waters when they shouldn’t have,” O’Neil said. “They were stranded for a bit.”

The National Weather Service had issued a flood warning for six counties in the tri-state area including Fayette, Greene, Washington and Westmoreland counties .

The service also warns motorists to avoid driving their vehicles through flooded areas, adding that most flood fatalities occur in vehicles.

Freese thinks Pirates are not trying hard enough to win

registered 11 off the bench for the Cougars.

“Carlynton’s athleticism and their ability to hit some threes really hurt us in the second half,” Brownsville coach Mark Marino said. “We had some defensive breakdowns and we were cold on the offensive end. I’m really proud of our guys for what they did this season. I thought our guys handled this playoff atmosphere well and were not afraid of the moment.”

Shandon Marshall led all scorers with 32 points for the Falcons, while Johnny Hovanec and Vandell Page chipped in with eight apiece.

BRADENTON, Fla. (AP) — David Freese thinks the Pittsburgh Pirates need to have a serious mindset adjustment if they want to compete in the stacked NL Central.

“The last two years, we didn’t do as well as we could have because of our environment. That’s what I think,” the third baseman said Friday after reporting to spring training. “I walk in every day, and the demand to win just hasn’t been in the air. That’s what you need.”

Deciding to retool, the Pirates traded center fielder Andrew McCutchen, the 2013 NL MVP, to San Francisco and dealt right-hander Gerrit Cole, a 19-game winner in 2015, to Houston.

Freese joined the Pirates during spring training in 2016, agreeing to a $3 million, oneyear contract, then reached an $11 million deal that August covering 2017 and 2018. The Pirates had ended a streak of 20 straight losing seasons, the longest stretch of futility in major North American professional sports history, and reached the playoffs each year from 2013-15. But they dropped to 78-83 in 2016 and 75-87 last year.

Game of two halves

Carlynton rallies in second half for 70-55 win

By Adam Brewer

For the Herald-Standard

CHARLEROI — The game was tied at halftime, but the Brownsville boys basketball squad couldn’t rally in the second half and dropped a WPIAL Class AAA preliminary round playoff game to Carlynton, 70-55, in the Herald-Standard Boys Game of the Week Friday night at Charleroi High School.

The Falcons (11-12) were outscored 41-27 in the second half. Brownsville was looking for its first playoff win since 2014, a preliminary round victory over Brentwood. Brownsville is 1-5 in the preliminary round since

2008.

The Cougars (9-14) moved on to play top-seeded Lincoln Park in the first round on Monday at Cardinal Wuerl North Catholic.

DeQuay Canon led a quartet of double-digit scorers for Carlynton with 28 points. Ian Gallaher collected 14 points and Chauncie Mickens scored 13, while Morgan Ault

MCMURRAY — Senior players are expected to come up big in critical moments, and California’s Bailey Vig did just that in the Lady Trojans’ 50-40 victory over Washington on Friday night in the first round of the WPIAL Class AA playoffs at Peters Township High School.

Vig scored a game-high 23 points on five field goals, including three 3-pointers, and was 10 of 16 at the foul line.

She increased her careerpoint total to 1,259, which is the second highest in program history.

“It definitely comes down to the basics,” Vig said. “We

California (15-7) faces No. 1 seed Vincentian Academy (20-1) on Thursday in the quarterfinals at a site and time to be determined. The Lady Royals’ only loss this season was to Philadelphia West Catholic (54-39) on Dec. 10 at the She’s Got Game Classic in Washington, D.C. “We are excited to play Vincentian,” Vig said. “For our seniors, it is another chance to play, and we are going to give it our best shot.”

The Lady Trojans have made the playoffs all four years Vig has been on the team, and in her freshman season, won their section and made it to the second round of the PIAA playoffs.

“The seniors definitely had more playoff experience, and we had more responsibility to help the people that haven’t gotten experience in a playoff game,” Vig said.

“We had to take control of the court.”

Pioneers fall to Imani Christian, 46-39

By Adam Brewer

West Greene cut Imani’s lead down to 39-35 after an inside hoop by Nathan Brudnock that capped off a 7-5 spree to start the fourth.

Scott had a mid-range jumper go down in between a pair of buckets by Imani’s Deshawn Hubbard, but the Pioneers once

again made it a four-point game, 43-39, after another interior basket by Brudnock.

“I challenged Nathan at halftime,” Romanus said. “I told him he was the best player on the court for both teams and had to step up his game. He did that and we fed him the ball in the post. It

was more of a spread offense for us. We were more aggressive on offense in the second half.”

After the teams traded emptied possessions, the Saints were able to hold off a late rally and secure the postseason win with 3-of-5 shooting at the foul line in the final minute.

Scott led West Greene with 18 points and nailed four 3-pointers, while Brudnock tallied 13 of his 15 points in the final 16 minutes of action.

Hubbard led Imani with 23 points, while Marc Peters added 10.

The Saints will play No. 2 Monessen in the quarterfinals on Thursday with a site and time to be determined. Last season, the Greyhounds defeated Imani in the Class A finals.

West Greene was out of sorts in the opening quarter, as the Saints opened up with a 13-2 lead before consecutive 3-pointers by Scott made it 13-8 at the end of one.

Imani started the second quarter with 10 unanswered points, before baskets by Brudnock and Scott made the score 23-12 going into halftime.

West Greene, who has made the playoffs for the last three years, remains relatively young and will have most of its team except for seniors Garrett Ross and Christian Fox. “Turnovers killed us tonight, and our skill level has to improve over the offseason,” Romanus said. “I think we proved to ourselves that we could play with a team like that and if we play to our strengths, we can be competitive with anybody in Class A. Our program is on the upswing and we just have to bring the right approach in the off-season.”

we showed good fight on the boards. We had intensity and I’m proud of the effort they gave today.”

The Lady Spartans have advanced to the quarterfinal round in six of the last eight seasons. St. Joseph, the No. 6 seed, will play third-seeded Quigley in the quarterfinals on Friday with a time and site to be determined.

Chloe Kurpakus registered a game-high 27 points for the Lady Spartans, while Alex Jones scored 22 and Naveah Angleo added 10.

“A good day for us on offense is when we have a good number of assists,” St. Joseph coach Sandy Ackerman said.

“We have to share the ball and make sure everyone gets their touches. We were really strong in transition and we controlled the tempo.”

Gabby Yourish was the leading scorer for the Lady Gators with 15 points, while Sydney Palya chipped in eight.

St. Joseph broke away from an early 2-2 deadlock with nine unanswered points.

After a mid-range jumper by Jessica Wolfe cut the deficit down to 11-4 for Geibel, the Lady Spartans countered with a 14-6 spurt to extend their lead to 25-10 at the end of the first quarter.

It was all the Lady Spartans to start the second quarter, as they opened up the frame with a 13-2 run for a commanding 38-12 advantage.

The Lady Gators responded with a 7-6 scoring edge the rest of the quarter and trailed 44-19 at halftime.

“St. Joe’s has a lot of scoring depth and we had trouble defending their outside shots,”

Blackstone said. “You can’t really key in on one person and not a lot of Class A teams have that balance on the outside and inside. We had to be on our toes all game long on defense.”

St. Joseph gained more separation at the beginning of the third quarter with the period’s first 10 points and held a 20-4 scoring edge. Back-to-back hoops by Kurpakus invoked the mercy rule and running clock in the late stages of the third quarter.

“Our defense stepped up in the third,” Ackerman said.

“We mixed up our defenses and we like to use a lot of triangle-and-two and some boxand-ones. We went man on their two guards and dropped into a zone against everyone else. Geibel’s guards are quick and we had to keep them in front of us.”

Both teams scored 12 points in the final eight minutes.

Geibel had another strong season despite the seasonending playoff loss, as they finished tied for second in Section 2-A and have qualified for the playoffs in three of the last four years.

The Lady Gators will lose eight seniors: Wolfe, Palya, Gabby Yourish, Gillian Yourish, Piper Scarry, Emily Petro, Maren Knizner and Sarah Petro.

“Those seniors are special and they were key pieces in turning this program around,” Blackstone said.

“They brought the right energy every game and every practice. They bring a sense of pride to the school and they all are good role models to the younger kids. They will be missed.”

CHARLEROI — Early jitters in the first quarter and untimely turnovers in the final minutes of the fourth quarter were the downfall for the West Greene boys basketball team, as they fell to Imani Christian, 46-39, in the first round of the WPIAL Class A playoffs Friday night at Charleroi High School.

The 10th-ranked Pioneers (8-15) were the underdogs to the seventh-ranked Section 3-A trichampion, but found their feet in the second half by outscoring Imani, 27-23.

“Our kids have come a long way this season,” West Greene coach Jim Romanus said. “Near the end of this game we had three juniors and two sophomores on the court, so we have a lot coming back. I liked the way we ended the regular season and I thought tonight’s match-up would be tight. They have a lot of athletes, but we were able play at our pace and we were right there.”

Trailing 23-12 at halftime, West Greene opened the third quarter with an 11-4 spurt to cut the deficit down to 27-23.

The Saints (12-9) responded with a 7-2 rally and after a late 3-pointer by West Greene’s Gavin Scott, held a 34-28 lead heading into the final eight minutes of play.

Lady Gators’ season ends with 76-35 loss

By Adam Brewer

For the Herald-Standard

FOX CHAPEL — The Geibel Catholic girls basketball team had no answer for the height of St. Joseph Saturday afternoon, as the Lady Gators ended their season with a 76-35 loss in the first round of the WPIAL Class A playoffs at Fox Chapel High School.

The Lady Gators (9-12) were looking for their second straight first-round victory after defeating Clairton last year in the opening round. Geibel is just 2-8 in the first round since 2004.

“We knew they had the height advantage over us,” Geibel coach Patrick Blackstone said.

“You look at their roster and see their size, but once they take the court you really see their size and athleticism. You can’t change your height and

Buster Posey, new SF teammate Andrew McCutchen go way back SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Buster Posey recalls watching Andrew McCutchen in awe.

They were 17, spending a few weeks together as teammates on a junior Olympic team in Taiwan.

McCutchen remembers Posey’s immense popularity — swarmed at every single stop.

Cheered when on the bus, or when fans just thought he was on the bus.

“The one thing that I remember is all the Taiwanese natives really loved Buster Posey. I don’t know why,” McCutchen said, chuckling. “But they’d be doing the whole roll call of the team and they’d say Buster Posey and everybody would go crazy in Taiwan.

We’d get on buses, we’d be on the bus waiting to leave, fans would be coming up, ‘Buster Posey, Buster Posey,’ like, ‘He’s not on the bus.’ But I know he’s a very likable guy, so I’d always joke with him about that in the times playing against him.

“I said, ‘You ever know or wonder why they liked you so much? He said, ‘Honestly, I don’t know.’”

Now, more than a decade later as early 30-somethings, they’re teammates again with the San Francisco Giants. And McCutchen kind of understands it now. He thinks Posey is pretty cool.

McCutchen considers the star catcher San Francisco’s go-to guy.

“I look at Posey as the captain. I look at him as the jefe,” McCutchen said, using the Spanish word for boss.

Grinning and chatting up his new teammates, McCutchen is already at it shagging flyballs in right field and taking his cuts in the covered batting cage.

He arrived at Scottsdale Stadium on Wednesday, well ahead of position players’ reporting day Sunday and then the first full-squad workout Monday.

“I just remember watching him and Justin Upton and thinking they were just a notch above everybody else at that age,” Posey said. “And obviously both of them did have a meteoric rise to the big leagues. Even then they were men playing with boys back

then.”

McCutchen is no longer the face of his franchise the way he had been as a beloved member of the Pirates, and new third baseman Evan Longoria is in the same situation after departing Tampa Bay in the December trade that brought him to the Bay Area.

They are two key acquisitions the Giants are counting on to get them contending again following a 98-loss season and last place in the NL West.

“That’s what an offseason can bring, a new hope when you add players like this,” said manager Bruce Bochy, who is moving Hunter Pence from

right to left field.

McCutchen insists he will be just fine without the weight of an organization, an entire city, on his sturdy shoulders.

“I never introduced myself as Andrew McCutchen Pirates face of the franchise,” he said matter-of-factly. “I was just being myself, I was trying to be true to myself and that’s all I tried to do every single day.

It is important. It is something that is very humbling to have that but it just shows that I’m doing my part and I’m doing what I expected playing the game of baseball.”

A few things McCutchen has made clear: Don’t count on him

growing back those dreadlocks he cut off for charity. They took nine years to perfect last time.

His son, Steel, was not named after Pittsburgh’s “Steel City” nickname but rather just the choice of a “strong,” masculine moniker. The outfielder appreciates San Francisco’s creamcolored uniforms. “That was always something I would say to a lot of guys when I would come here, ‘Man, the cream, that cream on those uniforms is so nice as opposed to stark white.’ It’s awesome.”

McCutchen wanted to wear No. 24 when he broke into the big leagues to honor Ken Griffey Jr. but settled for 22 when teammate Tom Gorzelanny — “Who has 24 as a pitcher?” McCutchen cracked — had 24.

He will gladly accept triples at pitcher-friendly AT&T Park and work his legs by sprinting the bases, saying, “I may lose who knows how many homers.”

“I may come off as a guy who doesn’t say a whole lot and kind of goes about my business, likes to smile a lot. I’m very silly,” he said. “At the end of the day, I like to have a lot of fun, so just look forward to that.”

McCutchen, the 2013 NL MVP, batted .279 with 28 home runs and 88 RBIs in 156 games last year with the Pirates. He has played at least 153 games in each of the past three seasons and seven of the last eight since his rookie year of 2009.

“As you have probably seen already, he’s got a lot of energy,” Bochy said. “He’s got a personality that I think is just going to fit on this club nicely.”

Lady Commodores throw a scare into Leechburg

By Rob Burchianti

rburchianti@heraldstandard.com

IMPERIAL — Mikayla Lovelace proved to be too much for Frazier to handle, but that didn’t prevent the 11th-seeded Lady Commodores from throwing a major scare into sixth-seeded Leechburg on Friday night.

Lovelace went over the 2,000point mark in her career with a 37-point effort as the Blue Devils pulled away in the final two minutes for a 75-60 victory in their WPIAL Class AA firstround game at West Allegheny High School.

Brooke Poling led Frazier with 20 points and her threepoint play with 5:02 left brought the Lady Commodores (13-10) within 56-54 of Leechburg.

Lovelace hit a free throw and then came up with a steal and lay-up shortly afterwards, though, to give the Blue Devils (19-4) some breathing room and they kept Frazier at bay the rest of the way.

“Mikayla’s a big-time player and she makes big-time plays in big spots,” Leechburg coach Joel Ceraso said. “That’s what she did for us.”

Lovelace, a 5-foot-10 senior, gave the Lady Commodores trouble inside all night.

“She’s a good player. You don’t stop a player like that,” Frazier coach Ken Poling said of Lovelace. “We knew what she was going to do, but we couldn’t totally collapse on her because she has capable teammates that can knock down the threes.

“They were blowing the whistle, too, putting her on the line. I’m not saying we weren’t fouling, but …”

Lovelace made 14-of-16 free throws. Brittany Robilio and Daesha Knight added 12 and 11 points, respectively, for Leechburg.

Sierra Twigg played a solid game and followed Poling in

Frazier’s Jovanna Isaac (5) whips a pass to teammate Sierra Twigg (25), who scored on the play, in Friday’s WPIAL Class AA first-round playoff game against Leechburg at West Allegheny High School.

scoring for Frazier with 14 points. Ashley Moger and Lauren Mastowski, who each made a pair of 3-pointers, scored eight points apiece.

Jovanna Isaac, who gamely battled Lovelace inside most of the game and had a solid all-around performance, added seven points.

“Jovanna had her hands full in there tonight,” coach Poling said. “But she played well.”

It was the final game for Frazier seniors Mastowski and Isaac.

Leechburg had a sparkling

record that included just two losses to Class AA teams this season, both to top-seeded Vincentian Academy, but the Lady Commodores weren’t intimidated.

“We were playing really well at the end of the season,” Poling said. “Coming in here I knew it was going to be tough against Leechburg, but we held our own. The final score might not indicate that, but it was a tight game until right at the end.”

Leechburg jumped out to an eight-point lead twice in the

first period before settling on a 19-14 advantage heading into the second period. Lovelace had 12 points, including two three-point plays in the first eight minutes.

The Lady Commodores battled back and pulled even, 21-21, early in the second when Isaac whipped a nice pass to Twigg for a lay-up, forcing Ceraso to call a timeout. The Blue Devils outscored Frazier 14-7 the rest of the period to take a 35-28 halftime lead.

Poling only had three points at halftime, which actually

encouraged her coach.

“I knew eventually her game was going to come around,” coach Poling said. “I felt good that her teammates were stepping up. We hung together as a team and stayed together the whole game.”

Baskets by Poling, Twigg and Mastowski helped the Lady Commodores slice the lead to three twice early in the third period, but again Leechburg regrouped and extended its advantage to 51-42 by the end of the third period.

If the Blue Devils thought they had finally put their pesky foe away, they were wrong.

Twigg and Moger scored the first two baskets of the fourth period to make it 51-46. Poling then countered a Leechburg basket when she hit a driving bank shot.

The Blue Devils pushed the lead out to 56-48, but Frazier fired back with a 3-pointer

by Moger and Poling’s threepoint play to pull within two.

The Lady Commodores could get no closer, however.

Ceraso was impressed with Frazier.

“That Poling girl is a heck of player,” Ceraso said. “She can put the ball in the hole very unorthodox-wise, I was very impressed with her. We knew we had to concentrate on her but quite honestly some of those other kids stepped up and made shots that we weren’t anticipating.

“I thought our kids did a great job of staving them off.

They were very well coached.”

Poling, who has guided Frazier into the playoffs in all four years he’s been coach, feels the best is yet to come.

“We’re losing some good players, but they way we played in the second half of the year, I think we’re going to come back even stronger next year,” he said. “I’m looking forward to it.”

Eden Christian ousts Gators from playoffs Lady Rams can’t overcome slow start in 39-28 loss

By Stephen Flinn

For the Herald-Standard

WHITEHALL — Geibel Catholic found out first hand in Friday night’s first round game why Eden Christian’s defense gave up the least amount of points in Class A this season.

The eleventh-seeded Gators were no match for the sixthseeded Warriors as Geibel dropped a 66-39 loss at Baldwin High School in the WPIAL playoffs.

“We knew going in that this game wasn’t going to be easy.

Eden Christian came in with a very good defense,” Geibel head coach Brian Henckel said. “Eden Christian is a fundamentally sound basketball team. They’re a senior-laden group that starts three or four seniors. They just took it away from us.”

The first quarter was Geibel’s best of the game as it was tied 8-8 midway through and the Gators were only down 13-11 after one.

Enzo Fetko scored five points in the first quarter and started the second quarter

CAL Continued from B1

California put the game away in the fourth quarter when it used a 9-3 run to hold its largest lead at 40-30 with 4:15 remaining following Love’ Porter’s 3-pointer.

Porter had nine points on three field goals, including one 3-pointer, and was 2 of 2 at the line.

The Trojans pushed their advantage to 44-30 with 1:27 as the Lady Prexies (15-7) started to foul in attempt to get back in the game. California was 13 of 23 at the line in the fourth and 15 of 27 overall.

Washington made four of its five 3-pointers in the fourth, but it was after the Lady

with a 3-pointer. He led the Gators with 16 points overall, including two 3-point plays, and Cole Kendall added 11, but their guards were outmatched by the quicker Warriors.

Geibel tried to avoid the Warriors’ traps, but were sped up in the process, and committed too many turnovers.

“Enzo had a solid game. He’s that way most of the time,” Henckel said. “We wish we got a little bit better guard play but (Eden Christian’s) defense is very stingy, to say the least.

We knew they were a good trapping defense.”

The Warriors started the second quarter with a 6-0 run and never looked back. They outscored the Gators, 20-7, in the second quarter and led 33-18 at the break. It was the only quarter Geibel did not score double figures.

“We had to be on. We had to make three’s. We had to shoot really well to be in this game, and we just didn’t do that,” Henckel said. “Our defense wasn’t up to speed, either, so everything put together was a bad combination.”

After a dismal second quarter, Geibel picked up the effort in the third, but by that time the Gators were behind 52-29. Eden Christian guard Chris Haring scored 7 of the Warrior’s 14 points in the fourth quarter to help seal the win. He led all scorers with 24 points.

“Our kids never gave up.

That’s the key,” Henckel said.

“I was pleased with our effort, but we just couldn’t get anything going on the offensive side.”

Henckel is looking forward to making another run for the playoffs next season. He is a second-year coach and the Gators have made the playoffs both years.

“Overall, the season was a little frustrating. Yeah, we got into the playoffs, but it wasn’t the exact way of how we wanted to come into the playoffs,” Henckel said. “This was a good experience for the kids. We were happy to get into the playoffs the last two years. Ultimately, we need to get stronger, and better defensively.”

Trojans had the game well in hand.

“I told the girls at halftime that we had to get on the boards and handle the pressure,” California coach Chris Minerd said. “I thought we did a good job with that, but I wish we would have done a little bit better at the foul line down the stretch.”

Neither team was lighting up the scoreboard in the first half, as California led, 8-7, after the first quarter, and the game was tied at 18 going into halftime.

Vig had 11 of the Lady Trojans’ 18 points in the first half.

The Lady Prexies used a box-and-one to slow down Vig in the third, but Grace Roberts had two 3-pointers, Porter chipped in a basket, Charlee

Petrucci added two points and Sydney Smichnick came off the bench to score three.

Roberts made three 3-pointers and was 2 of 3 at the line in scoring 11.

“They went box-and-one on Bailey (Vig), so we just went to our man sets,” Minerd said.

“One of my goals in the game was to get a lead to force them to play man. The key was to get them to play man.

“Grace (Roberts) hit some clutch shots, and Sydney (Smichnick) did a good job inside.

We had to have balance. I’m proud of them. It was a total team win. It won’t get any easier against Vincentian, but we will enjoy this one tonight.”

Carley Allen led the Lady Prexies in scoring with 11 points on three field goals, and was 5 of 11 at the foul line.

WHITEHALL — Ringgold started slow in the its WPIAL Class AAAAAA first-round playoff game against Gateway and never recovered.

The 10th-seeded Lady Rams picked up their effort in the second half, but the seventhseeded Gators caught fire in the fourth quarter and Ringgold was eliminated from the playoffs with a 39-28 loss Friday night at Baldwin High School.

“I thought we’d make it a little further in the playoffs this year, so this was disappointing,” Ringgold head coach Erika McCarthy said.

“I wasn’t happy with the seeding, but I thought we could compete with them. Our defense was good.

We held (Gateway) to 39 points, but our offense really hurt us.”

Ringgold was bothered by Gateway center Lexi Jackson’s 6-3 height, as her rebounding and blocking shots on defense helped control the game. Her two buckets fueled the Lady Gators to an 11-2 lead in the first quarter before Nya Adams hit a 3-pointer for the Lady Rams and they trailed 11-5 after one.

“I would say our girls got scared of Jackson’s height. We didn’t attack like we should have,” McCarthy said. “When you play against a girl that tall you have to change your game up a little bit. I thought we could have handled her a little better.”

The Lady Rams came out tentative and had shots, but missed more than they made.

“We didn’t come out with our A-game. We weren’t hitting shots,” McCarthy said. “Against a center that large, we were settling for outside shots. We were successful all year by working the ball inside.”

Jackson picked up two fouls in the first minute of the second quarter and was forced to the bench. During that stretch, Ringgold held Gateway scoreless.

Taylor Mendicino hit two free throws and a basket to pull the Rams within 13-9.

Jackson came back in with three minutes left, though, and immediately sank a running layup. Annie Garness added a putback and Gateway took a 17-9 lead at the break.

McCarthy told her team to be more aggressive at halftime and the Lady Rams played with more energy in the second half, but they still had problems hitting shots.

“We made some corrections (at halftime). When we got the ball inside, we needed to look at the basket. Look to push the ball and take it to them,” McCarthy said. “We did that a lot better in the second half, but we still didn’t convert and finish.”

Ashley Briscoe powered Ringgold to a 5-0 run early in the third quarter after a putback, a steal, and a 3-point play to cut the Lady Gators’ lead to 17-14.

Gateway responded with a 6-0 run, though, to take a 23-14 lead.

Taylor Costa hit two free throws and the Lady Rams trailed 23-16 after three.

Johnna Mayer hit back-to-back 3-pointers early in the fourth quarter to pull Ringgold back into the game, 25-22, but Gateway tore off a 6-0 run to fend off Ringgold.

Jackson scored 10 of Gateway’s 16 points in the fourth quarter.

She led all scorers with 18 points.

Adams was the Rams’ leading scorer with 9 points on three 3-pointers. Brisco added seven points.

“Nya (Adams) sets everything up. She’s a great ball-handler and a great player as a sophomore,” McCarthy said. “Ashley is our go-to inside player. She’s probably the most-athletic girl on the floor.”

Even though McCarthy was hoping the Lady Rams would have made a deeper run in the playoffs, she was happy with the team’s effort.

“We made a great run this season. This was the best record we’ve had in probably six years,” McCarthy said. “We had a great group of senior girls. We’ll really miss the next year moving forward. They’ve been the core of the team the last four years.”

Mustangs win weather-altered finale, 102-57

By Jim Downey

jdowney@heraldstandard.com

CONNELLSVILLE — Laurel Highlands’ Jonathon Lewis and the remainder of the field in the 200 freestyle were about to take position on the starting blocks Thursday evening when the lights in the natatorium flickered and then went black.

Emergency lighting soon brightened the darkness, but the temporary fix was not enough for the final Section 1-AAA meet to continue.

Unbeknownst to the swimmers and crowd assembled in the natatorium, a tornado swept through the neighborhood just a few blocks away.

Athletic Director Mark John first cited the lightning rule, and then the powers-that-be decided it was best to send everyone home and reschedule for Friday.

The rescheduled meet was then rescheduled once again. With power not restored to Laurel Highlands Friday, the meet was moved to Connellsville.

The Mustangs closed the regular season Friday with a 102-57 victory over the Falcons.

Jim Downey | Herald-Standard

The Mustangs’ Jonathon Lewis slices through the water in the breaststroke leg of the 200 medley relay Thursday in the final Section 1-AAA meet of the season at Laurel Highlands against Connellsville.

The extra 20 hours or so, and a different pool, didn’t faze Lewis as he easily won the 200 freestyle in a WPIAL Class AA qualifying time of 1:54.59.

He also won the 100 breaststroke, touching the wall first in a qualifying time of 1:05.16.

Lewis, Jacob Johnson, Jamey Siebart and Dylan Rice managed to get the 200 medley relay complete before the weather delay, winning in a qualifying

time of 1:50.14.

Lewis has qualified in the 200 freestyle, 500 freestyle and 100 breaststroke, so he and coach Ed Yauger have a decision to make.

Lewis was 18th in the 200 free and 15th in the 500 free at the WPIAL meet last year.

“I did the 200 freestyle and 500 freestyle the past two last two years, so it’s a toss up,” said Lewis. “We look into spacing events out so I have the best

chance in every event.

“It’s a joint decision between (coach Yauger) and myself. Obviously, he wants the best for me and it’s what I feel comfortable doing.”

What’s not a toss up will be the relay decision.

Lewis and the Mustangs are the defending Class AA district champs in the 200 medley relay and were fourth in the 200 freestyle relay.

The final times and

event declarations are to be posted Monday by noon.

Times have been posted weekly on the WPIAL website, but Lewis hasn’t taken a peek.

“It’s called a psyche sheet for a reason. It’s meant to psyche you out,” said a smiling Lewis. “I’m put in a lane and I swim the race.

“I want to place the best I can and go as fast as I can go.”

Siebart (50 freestyle, 23.83, WPIAL), John Ek (diving, 308.25, WPIAL), Johnson (100 freestyle, 50.08, WPIAL; 100 backstroke, 1:04.51), Andy VanVerth (500 freestyle, 5:38.43), the 200 freestyle relay of Johnson, Siebart, Logan Kordich and Rice (1:39.24, WPIAL), and 400 freestyle relay of Kordich, Tyler Collins, VanVerth and Lewis (3:57.44) also had first-place finishes for the Mustangs.

Rice finished third in diving with a qualify point total of 244.00.

Connellsville’s Noah Barczyk had to wait a day to get into the pool, but it didn’t seem to bother him much after winning the 200 IM (2:14.07) and coming in second in the 100 freestyle (52.85).

The senior has qualified

and will compete in the 100 and 200 freestyles in the WPIAL Class AAA Championship. He is the only Falcon swimmer to secure a berth into the district meet.

“I just want to have fun. This is my last high school meet,” Barczyk said during Thursday’s delay at Laurel Highlands, adding, “Fun includes good times.”

As for his the last dual meet of his career, Barczyk said, “It was sad remembering all the moments I had with my buddies.”

Barczyk will attend Florida Tech, a District II program, this fall where he will swim and major in mechanical engineering, but he still has at least one more high school meet.

“Knowing that there are faster kids makes me want to just go faster and beat those kids,” said Barczyk.

“My favorite part of swimming is racing.”

Adam Barczyk, a freshman, won the 100 butterfly in 1:05.08 for the Falcons.

Dean Peterson finished second in diving, which was completed Thursday, with a WPIAL qualifying score of 254.20 points.

Connellsville’s Maloy qualifies for WPIAL meet

By Jim Downey Herald-Standard

CONNELLSVILLE — Friday’s Section 1-AAA meet held at Connellsville was supposed to close the season Thursday at Laurel Highlands, but the tornado that touched down just blocks away from Laurel Highlands knocked out power, forcing the section finale to be postponed.

The meet was moved to Connellsville after school Friday when power had not yet been restored to the high school.

So, it took just about a day for the Fillies to wrap up the regular season with a 103-78 victory against the Lady Falcons.

The girls were able to complete diving, the 200 medley relay and 200 freestyle, both won by Laurel Highlands, before power was lost just as the boys were called to the blocks in the 200 freestyle.

Connellsville’s Molly Maloy had to wait about 22 hours for her last shot to qualify for the WPIAL Class AAA Champioships in the 100 butterfly, but the freshman was unfazed, advancing to the district meet with just under a second to spare.

BVILLE Continued from B1

Trailing 5-0 in the opening minutes of the contest, Brownsville rattled off eight straight points to take its first lead of the game.

After both teams traded 3-pointers, Carlynton went on a 6-0 run to regain the lead, but Brownsville battled back and ended the opening frame with a 6-0 run for a 17-14 lead.

Nick Seto scored the opening bucket in the second quarter to stretch the Falcons’ lead to 19-14, but the Cougars rebounded with nine unanswered points.

Brownsville, who entered the postseason winning six of its last seven games, ended the first half with a 10-6 rally and tied things at the intermission, 29-29.

“We defended really

Jim Downey | Herald-Standard

The Lady Falcons’ Molly Maloy pushes forward in the 100 butterfly Friday in the final Section 1-AAA meet against Laurel Highlands at Connellsville. Maloy qualified for WPIAL Championships with her winning time of 1:00.69.

Maloy’s fastest time in the butterfly entering Friday’s meet was 1:02.16, slightly above the qualifying time of 1:01.6.

With teammates cheering her on, Maloy bore down in the final lap of four to touch the wall in 1:00.69.

“I don’t think (the postponement) affected me. It gave me more rest, and prepare for what I had to do,” explained Maloy. “I

just had to move faster and get my pace. I keep my mind blank and just go.”

Now, the freshman added a couple more weeks to her first high school season.

“Something I set, my goal was to make the WPIALs,” said Maloy.

Diving was the first event Thursday, so the Lady Falcons’ Morgan Lukaesko posted the

well down the stretch (of the regular season),” Marino said. “We had a lot of our younger kids step up and we had a more balanced scoring attack.

The kids were finding their roles and was given Shandon some relief on offense. We started this game really strong, we just couldn’t maintain that flow on offense.”

Both offenses were in sync at the start of the third period, as the squads traded points and the lead throughout the quarter. A three-point play by Phil Pace gave the Falcons a 42-39 lead with 5:10 left in the third.

The Cougars mounted a game-deciding rally and secured command of the preliminary round contest by ending the third quarter with a 10-2 burst for a 49-44 lead.

It was all Carlynton to start the fourth quarter, as the Cougars increased their lead to 59-47 after

starting the period with a 10-3 run.

Brownsville responded with six straight points, the final bucket being an inside hoop by Marshall, but the Cougars countered with the final run of the night and came away with the postseason victory after ending the game with an 11-2 run.

The Falcons returns a strong nucleus for next season, but will miss its three seniors: Marshall, Hovanec and Austin Campbell.

“It’s tough to see those three seniors leave,” Marino said. “They meant so much to the program.

Shandon is a special player and he will be missed.

Those seniors laid down the groundwork of making this program legitimate.

We return a young group, and they have to put in the work during the offseason. Like in any sport, the offseason is always so key.”

initial first place of the meet when she won the competition with 161.25 points.

Sophomore Gracey Fiesta’s bid to qualify in the 100 breaststroke was about four seconds long, although she touched the wall first in 1:16.03.

The Lady Falcons’ Carlee Shreve, Maloy, Tori DiRoma and Fiesta closed the meet by winning the 400 freestyle

relay in 4:02.36. Shreve finished second in the 200 freestyle with a qualifying time of 2:01.44, as she did in the 500 freestyle with a WPIAL time of 5:28.14.

The Fillies’ Gwyneth Hamilton had an eventful final meet, winning the 100 backstroke in 1:05.24 and finishing third in the 100 butterfly (1:06.52).

She swam the lead backstroke leg on the 200 medley relay that finished first Thursday in a WPIAL qualifying time of 1:57.40.

She was also on the 400 freestyle relay that competed in exhibition.

Hamilton said the postponement took an edge off the final meet.

“It brought my spirits down a little bit. It doesn’t feel as high energy as yesterday,” said Hamilton, adding, “It feels like the continuation of the meet, not a new meet.”

Hamilton qualified for the 100 backstroke and 200 freestyle again, and will swim both in the WPIAL Class AAA Championships at the University of Pittsburgh’s Trees Pool on March 1-2.

She was 18th in the 200 freestyle and 12th in the 100 backstroke last year, though she was on the 200 medley relay that finished eighth.

“We medaled in the 200 medley relay (last year), but Lexie (Kostelnik) and Kristen (Bane) are gone.

We’re them now. It’s different,” said Hamilton.

Hamilton hopes her junior season with her meeting her two goals.

“I want to make the YMCA national time in the 100 backstroke and try to make the podium (in the WPIAL finals),” said Hamilton. “The 100 backstroke is my go-to event. I want to go 58 (seconds) and have to go 58 for the podium.

“But, the main event is the 200 medley relay.

I think that’s our best chance at the podium.”

That podium, though, is the Class AAA podium, not Class AA. “My time last year in the 100 backstroke would’ve been second in Class AA,” added Hamilton.

Maria Mrosko (200 freestyle, 2:00.43, WPIAL; 500 freestyle, 5:24.29, WPIAL), Jenna Roscoe (200 IM, 2:24.24), Rachel Roscoe (50 freestyle, 26.07; 100 freestyle, 57.71), and 200 freestyle relay of Jenna Roscoe, Erin George, Mrosko and Rachel Roscoe (1:47.47) also had-first place finishes for the Fillies.

Waynesburg women cruise to 82-62 victory By the Herald-Standard

The Waynesburg men’s and women’s basketball teams had a good day Saturday afternoon by sweeping past visiting Geneva in Presidents’ Athletic Conference action.

The women defeated Geneva, 82-62, while the Yellow Jacket men secured

an 86-61 victory.

The women led throughout the game, holding quarter leads of 18-13, 39-32 and 58-43.

Five Yellow Jackets finished in double figures, led by Addy Knetzer’s 21 points. Monica Starre scored 13. Rachel Eng and Mackenna Drazich had 11 points apiece, and Erin Joyce finished with 10.

The Waynesburg men led

37-33 at halftime, but pulled away in the second half with a 49-28 advantage.

The Yellow Jackets’ Matt Popeck led the way with a game-high 33 points. Jon Knabb added 21.

Connellsville graduate Jimmy Leichliter had a double-double for Geneva with 12 points and a gamehigh 10 rebounds.

Wasylson leads Mars past Lady Raiders, 54-33

By Jim Wexell

For the Herald-Standard

MONROEVILLE — Whatever Uniontown did to stop Mars’ star player Lauren Wasylson worked.

For a half.

The Xavier-bound small forward made only one of six shots in the first half, but took the game over in the second half in leading fourth-seeded Mars to a 54-33 win over Uniontown in the first round of the WPIAL 5-A playoffs Friday night at Gateway High School.

Wasylson, held to two points in the first half of a four-point game, finished with 18 as the Planets pulled away in the fourth quarter.

But, it was a close game much of the night for the heavy

underdogs from Uniontown.

“I’m extremely proud, yes,” said Uniontown coach Penny Kezmarsky. “I didn’t expect, first of all, to be here, and then to be here and compete for so long with a very good team, a team that’s been coached by the same lady for the last 19 years or so.

It’s a great basketball program and we hung right there with them up until the end.”

It was certainly a mismatch of coaching experience, because Kezmarsky has only been at the Uniontown helm for, oh, about 19 days.

Or so it seemed for the firstyear coach, who was hired the same day the season started.

“I told the girls when I took this job I wanted to win more

game than they won last year,” Kezmarsky said. “Last year they won four games and this year they made the playoffs, so they exceeded what I even thought was possible.

“It’s not that I didn’t believe in them, but walking into it I didn’t know what to expect. From Day One to right now there’s been so much improvement.”

Mars is a Class 5-A powerhouse with a talented Division I player, but Uniontown trailed by only three points after a quarter and by only four at halftime.

But the Mars pedigree showed up in the second half as Wasylson began to heat up. She scored the first four points of the second half, and Tai Johnson’s 3-pointer pushed the Mars lead to 30-18.

MONROEVILLE — Connellsville was eliminated from the WPIAL Class 5-A playoffs Friday night by Hampton, 51-26, and the shooting struggles of the Lady Falcons’ talented 6-foot-3 sophomore Sara Aumer were mentioned to coach Emily Daugherty after the game.

“Oh, she can shoot,” said Daugherty. “Everybody had trouble finishing tonight.”

The emphasis was on the word “everybody.” The entire team struggled offensively in Connellsville’s loss to fifth-seeded Hampton. After scoring the first four points of the game, the Lady Falcons managed only 22 more points the rest of the way.

“We played a tough first half,” Daugherty said of a 21-14 deficit. “The shots just weren’t falling for us. It was probably the nerves.”

The game marked Connellsville’s second consecutive playoff appearance after

missing out the previous 16 seasons. Daughtery came along as an assistant last year and this year took the helm as her team finished 11-12 overall.

The defensive-minded Lady Falcons were in the game at the half, and J’Taya Pirl’s basket to start the second half cut the Hampton lead to 21-16. But it all went downhill quickly as Hampton — behind the play of Laryn Edwards and Ali Collins — began pulling away.

Hampton’s lead reached 10 with just under six minutes left in the third quarter, and then hit 20 with 4:17 left in the fourth, before coasting the rest of the way.

“The first half looked good for us,” Daugherty said. “We had great energy going into the locker room. In the second half, turnovers and all the missed shots hurt us.”

Hampton switched to a 1-3-1 defense and gave Connellsville the outside shots, but those shots wouldn’t go down. And when Aumer was able to get the ball

down low, she was double and triple-teamed and got off several good-looking shots, but most didn’t fall. Aumer finished with six points. Zoe Youdell led the Falcons with seven.

Hampton was led by Edwards’ 22 points and Collins’ 16.

“They’re good players,” Daugherty said of Hampton’s 1-2 scoring punch. “They’re both going to play in college and it showed tonight. They’re good basketball players. We tried to throw a 1-2-2 at them, but they were eventually able to go around that. And against our man, they showed they’re just good one-onone basketball players.”

Daugherty called it “a good season, I’m proud of them,” and expects an even better showing next season as she builds around Aumer.

“Compared to seasons in the past, you could tell we had good chemistry,” Daugherty said. “I think we’re going to have some momentum going into next year off making these playoffs. We’re building the program.”

Kelsea Rose answered with a 3-pointer, and an eightpoint deficit at the end of the third quarter was as close as Uniontown would come the rest of the game. The Lady Raiders scored only five points in the fourth quarter as Mars pulled away for the win.

“I think we got a little fatigued,” Kezmarsky said. “We were giving everything we had on defense to stop them, and it took everything we have. But I think we kind of just got run down.”

Sophomore Mya Murray led Uniontown with 13 points and Rose added 10, followed by Kierra Rose with eight. But it was the defense that spurred the Lady Raiders.

At the same time, the Penguins have won back-to-back Stanley Cup championships and the Steelers have reached the NFL playoffs for four straight years.

Freese expressed frustration with what he described as complacency of sorts. When he arrived the Pirate were coming off a 98-win season.

“I think this place kind of gets ahead of itself,” Freese said.

“They try and keep up with the way analytical stuff is working, but man, you’ve got to have urgency. You’ve got to have accountability. You’ve got to have all these things. I’ve been here for two years and we’ve just kind of lacked in that department a little bit.”

Freese, who was named World Series MVP in 2011 while playing for the St. Louis Cardinals, said McCutchen “deserved better” during his last two years with the club. Freese felt the club didn’t surround McCutchen with a group “that wanted to beat some (tail) for him.” However, Freese also understands the direction the organization wanted to go in during the offseason.

“Our defense is what kept us in it for so long,” Kezmarsky said. “People who weren’t here are going to look at the final score and not realize how close this game was. Our defense kept us in it for the majority of it.”

All three of Uniontown’s top scorers will return next season as Kezmarsky looks to build on her short tenure.

Uniontown finished 7-13 overall, but made the playoffs for the first time in four years, and once there played well.

“It doesn’t feel good to lose, but we did make the playoffs,” Kezmarsky said. “It’s a step in the right direction and hopefully we can build on this experience and grow from here.”

“Losing Cutch is tough, but I hope the fans understand the Pirates are trying to do the best they can to be, I don’t want to say competitive. Screw that word. It’s such a safe word,” Freese said. “I think the fans, I hope they understand that the Pirates are trying to win and they’re trying to do the right thing for the organization with what they’re allowed to do.”

The Chicago Cubs won their second straight NL Central title last year and division rival Milwaukee added free agent center fielder Lorenzo Cain and acquired left fielder Christian Yelich from Miami. Pittsburgh’s only addition from among the major league free agents is outfielder Daniel Nava, in camp with a minor league deal.

The Pirates used the trades of McCutchen and Cole to restock, acquiring pitchers Joe Musgrove and Kyle Crick and third base prospect Colin Moran among others. Regardless of who is in the clubhouse, Freese would like to see a shift in mindset in the clubhouse from the last two years.

“You’ve got to start from the ground up,” Freese said. “If you don’t have the accountability and the demand to win, what’s the point in doing anything else?”

NASCAR’s young look Haas survives three-car accident on display for Daytona DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Never before has one race displayed NASCAR’s rapidly changing look more than this year’s Daytona 500.

Three drivers under age 25 will start in the first two rows, new rules will make the cars difficult to drive and NASCAR’s longtime most popular driver will watch from the sidelines.

NASCAR begins its season Sunday with the 60th running of “The Great American Race” and Alex Bowman on the pole .

Who? Well, the guy who got Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s coveted seat at Hendrick Motorsports when concussions forced the superstar to retire. Bowman is 24 and had washed out of NASCAR once before when he got the call to help during Earnhardt’s absence. Team owner Rick Hendrick gave him a car capable of earning the top starting spot for the biggest race of the year , and after nearly a full year out of a race car, Bowman will lead the field to green.

“I haven’t speedway raced in a year, so it’s going to be tough,” Bowman said. “I have to get my feet back under me as far as speedway racing goes.”

Bowman has given no indication how his car will handle because, in an effort to keep it safe for the Daytona 500, he dropped to the back of the field during his qualifying race and avoided drafting. Hendrick teammate Chase Elliott took the opposite approach, won his qualifying race and earned a starting spot in the second row.

Elliott is 22 and one of NASCAR’s budding stars.

His peers believe he’ll

replace Earnhardt in fan voting for NASCAR’s most popular driver , and Hendrick gave him a boost this year by switching Elliott’s car number to No. 9 so the driver can honor his Hall of Fame father, Bill.

“Car looks good. I’m a little biased, but the 9 looks good on top of the scoring pylon,” Elliott said after Thursday night’s victory.

“I would love to have it there more throughout the season.”

Elliott is still seeking his first points victory in the Cup Series after five runner-up finishes last season. He won his Daytona qualifying race last year, too, but ran out of gas racing for the Daytona 500 victory.

Elliott will be Hendrick’s answer to the Ford brigade that has so far been led by Team Penske at Daytona.

Ford drivers won all four restrictor-plate races last season, including Kurt Busch’s victory in the Daytona 500 , and Penske drivers Brad Keselowski and Ryan Blaney have one win apiece this Speedweeks. Blaney’s victory in the qualifying race put him on the second row for the start next to Elliott, and teammate Joey Logano is right behind Blaney.

Logano, winner of the Daytona 500 in 2015, has two runner-up finishes in Speedweeks behind his teammates. Keselowski is the Las Vegas betting favorite to win the race, but Blaney absolutely should be in the mix. In fact, Roger Penske appears to have three entries all capable of winning the race .

Should they find themselves lined up 1-2-3 — the way they’ve run most

of Speedweeks — on the final lap of the Daytona 500, they know the boss expects one of them to win.

“Our team orders are to work together as best you can, but it’s a race.

Roger expects us to race for wins,” Logano said.

“It’s a challenge when you’re all racing for the win. There’s a lot on the line. That’s probably one of the most challenging times for teammates, is to be able to work together.

It’s probably the most stress on a relationship, with a team.”

Ford drivers have speed, but 2007 winner Kevin Harvick noted the cars are much harder to drive under new NASCAR technical regulations. The sentiment was shared by Busch, who, like Harvick, is considered among the most talented in car control, so their gripes could be an indication NASCAR has gone too far.

“I wasn’t very comfortable to pull on the wheel like I needed to, to be aggressive in making moves and blocking, all the things I needed,” Harvick said after his qualifying race.

If teams can’t make some gains by Sunday, passing could be difficult in the race. Ricky Stenhouse Jr., winner of two plate races last season, was admittedly “greedy” in his qualifying race when he made aggressive moves to try to figure out the draft. He twice spun competitors not because he made contact with their cars, but because Stenhouse sucked the air away from their cars and caused them to lose control.

Bill Haas has earned the reputation over the years on the PGA Tour for being one of the most solid, soft-spoken and underachieving players on the pro golf circuit. There are few nicer guys anywhere than Bill Haas.

There now can be another adjective to describe the 35-year-old Haas, a son of Jay Haas, who was a star on the PGA Tour in the 1970s.

Lucky.

Early this week, as he began preparations for the PGA Tour’s Genesis Open, Haas was a passenger in a Ferrari that was in a three-car accident. The accident killed the driver, who was to be Haas’ host this week.

Haas had some pain and swelling in his legs, but no serious injuries.

He returned to his home in South Carolina to recuperate.

WWE going to dual-brand Pay-Per-View WWE sent out an email to fans on Monday who bought tickets to the Backlash PPV in May saying that the show will feature superstars from both Raw and Smackdown.

Usually, only the “Big Four” — WWE PPV’s of the Royal Rumble, WrestleMania, SummerSlam and Survivor Series — feature wrestlers from both shows, and it was announced last month that Money in the Bank would be a fifth.

But is WWE going that route with all shows now?

To add fuel to the fire, Dave Meltzer mentioned the topic on his Wrestling Observer Radio show saying that speculation is WWE will do it moving forward from Backlash.

If this happens, WWE will have no choice but to make every PPV four hours plus have the preshow or there will never be room for midcard guys on the shows.

If WWE makes all PPV’s dual brand shows and leaves them at three hours, there would only be three to four matches each for Raw and Smackdown.

Rousey news It appears that WWE is having Ronda Rousey’s “contract signing” at Elimination Chamber because WWE is having trouble selling tickets to the show, so it is hoping to bump ticket sales by having her there.

WWE has only sold 8,000 tickets and the venue holds near 18,000.

Look for Rousey’s Mania angle to start taking place at the Chamber show or the next night on Raw. All signs point to a

Performance Center in Orlando.

The recovery process was said to take up to six months, so Cass may be back in time for Mania.

Veterans honored

Local nursing home remembers servicemen

hen terror and invasion were real threats, they showed us they could handle any storm.”

That’s how Joyce Wrigley described war veterans in a poem she read last week while honoring those at Cherry Tree Nursing Center in Uniontown.

Olivia Goudy | Herald-Standard

John Menhart receives a Valentine’s Daythemed care package from the Daughters of the Union Veterans of the Civil War.

Wrigley was there Thursday with Valerie Brady and Connie Nicholson, all of the Daughters of the Union Veterans of the Civil War group, to present the small group with gift bags for Valentine’s Day. “We would like to honor all of you and present everyone with a little gift. It’s a little something to let you know we’ve not forgotten you and that you’re remembered,” Brady said.

Bright pink and red bags were filled with puzzle books and blankets for the veterans, and topped with small American Flags to display in their rooms. The men honored that afternoon included John Menhart, Richard Methven, Ronald Davis, Jerry Yocabet, Larry DelPinto, Allen Chrise, Harry Means and Jim Springer.

Part of the women’s presentation included the poem Wrigley read, titled “The Best on Earth: A Veteran’s Day Tribute” by Joanna Fuchs, with words of encouragement and honor for veterans.

“Our veterans should be celebrities; They’re exceptional; no other group compares. We’re grateful for the many things they’ve done; They’re always in our hearts and in our prayers,” she read. “We owe our veterans support and friendship; Let no

Distinction of superintendent recalled The ‘does this Sudden passing of Ringgold luminary elicits shock, grief

By Mark Soroka

For the Herald-Standard

Colleagues, students, friends and relatives of Dr. Karen Polkabla expressed shock and grief upon learning of the sudden death of the highly

respected Ringgold superintendent.

But even as they struggled to come to terms with this loss, Polkabla all those who knew Polkabla agreed that she was a one-of-a-kind superintendent who put other people first.

“Karen was one of the

kindest people I knew,” said Carol Flament, president of the Ringgold School Board. “She loved the children dearly and was for them 100 percent.

And she showed the same affection for her colleagues. This is a great loss for our entire district.”

Polkabla was scheduled to host a tour for other local superintendents on Thursday at the new Ringgold middle school.

When Polkabla didn’t show up for work, her colleagues

asked the Donora police department to check on her. Polkabla was found in her Donora home — authorities determined she died of natural causes.

“My heart is still breaking over this,” said Flament. “It’s so hard to believe. I just spoke with her the other day. She was heartbroken over the shootings in Florida.”

Hoodie Hoo Day to return to Mon Valley By the Herald-Standard

Mon Valley residents who are extra hopeful for spring this year will join together for a fifth year to shout to the sky in the spirit of ending the winter blahs.

The annual event was started in Charleroi by Debbie Keefer, the executive director of the Mon Valley Regional Chamber of Commerce. Keefer said she heard about Hoodie Hood Day from a local weatherman, who said that if people went outside and shouted “Hoodie Hoo,” to the sky, it would chase winter away.

make me look’ conundrum Anyone who’s ever had a wife or a girlfriend or a cohabitant female is all too familiar with the most common question you receive from them before heading out of the house for anything.

“Mark, why are there bloody hand prints and confetti all over my wedding dress again?”

The second-most common question is, of course, your opinion on their outfit.

“Do you like this dress?” “Does this outfit look good for tonight?” “Does this make me look fat?” “Does this make me look skinny?” “Does this dress make me look like I can fight crime?” “Do these shoes match this dress as well as this purse because both seem to work and/or clash for me at the moment?”

True story: my wife, Amber, and I were going to take our daughter, Emma, to her doctor’s appointment for her annual childhood checkup and semi-annual tattoo removal procedure.

While we’re at the house, Amber comes out in a perfectly fine shirt and pants ensemble and said, “What do you think of this?”

“Fine,” I said. “You look good.”

Dog’s changed behavior may point to human health issue Dear Dr. Fox: I just read about the grandfather whose husky rescue, in the family home, began to bark at him after being in the household three months. Although I suspect you are correct with a PTSD diagnosis, I wonder if something could have changed in the gentleman’s health.

Our Labrador retriever became very worried just before my husband was diagnosed with bladder cancer.

Hank is an elderly dog now, but eight years ago, he was an exuberant, rowdy clown.

For the period shortly before my husband’s diagnosis, however, Hank was subdued, depressed, restless and worried. He did not bark at my husband, as the dog in your column did. He seemed to be looking to us for assurance. Labradors can

Dr. Michael Fox have an exceptional sense of smell, and I thought perhaps my husband just didn’t smell right to Hank.

My husband did survive, and is now eight years past cancer surgery and doing well.

— N.J.S., Applegate, Oregon Dear N.J.S.: Your letter is very much appreciated. In my opinion, any behavioral change in a dog toward one family member, whose attitude and relationship with the dog

have not changed, calls for close attention.

A first step would be to have a veterinarian rule out any underlying medical problem in the dog. Then have the person the dog seems so concerned about consult with a physician. Dogs have a highly evolved sense of smell, and some can detect early changes in body chemistry and scent, which can be associated with a variety of health problems.

My wife and I recently joined the millions of others who have been infected with this year’s particularly debilitating influenza virus. Our part-Australian heeler rescue, Kota, stays close to us all the time in bed, keeping a watchful eye on us as we groan and cough, and herding us back to lie down after we’ve gotten up. The

A group of veterans at the Cherry Tree Nursing Center received care packages from members of the Daughters of the Union Veterans of the Civil War. Pictured from left to right are veterans John Menhart, Richard Methven, Ronald Davis, Allen Chrise, Harry Means, Jerry Yocabet, Larry DelPinto and Jim Springer. Valerie Brady, Connie Nicholson and Joyce Wrigley were also there to hand out the packages.

polkabla Continued from C1

Ringgold School District in 1987, taught the fourth and fifth grades at the former Donora Elementary Center and also taught math at Carroll Middle School. After becoming principal at Donora Elementary Center in 2000, she was chosen as assistant superintendent at Ringgold in 2007 then promoted to superintendent in 2012.

One of Polkabla’s crowning achievements was overseeing the addition of a new $38 million middle school in Carroll Township.

The school opened for classes in early January.

Flament remembers accompanying Polkabla to a function, where two students of Ringgold were being honored.

That evening, Polkabla demonstrated why she was considered such a strong advocate for all of Ringgold’s students.

“Karen was concerned that one of the student’s parents wouldn’t be there to see him get that award,” said Flament. “As it turned out, the boy’s parents didn’t show

up, but Karen told him she would be his mom for that night. And when it was time for the boy to have his picture taken with his family, Karen and I proudly joined him for the picture. That shows how much she loved the kids in our district.”

Maria Degnan, a Ringgold teacher and president of the Ringgold Education Association, shared Flament’s sentiments.

“Dr. Polkabla was a big advocate for our students and always put them first,” said Degnan.

“Our district is going to feel this loss for a very long time. But her legacy will live on, and we will never forget her.”

Polkabla announced her retirement plans before the start of the 2017-18 school year and was scheduled to work until June 30.

Ringgold is offering counseling for any students, teachers or staff who are grappling with the loss of their superintendent.

Polkabla also served on the Donora Council for 25 years, before stepping down from that position in December. Marie Trozzo, a close friend of Polkabla and fellow Donora councilwoman, noted that Polkabla also made

a deep impact in Donora.

“She was super intelligent and a great negotiator,” said Trozzo. “Above all, she was an extremely compassionate person. There were things she did for other people that no one would ever know.”

Flament said that the Ringgold school board will have its regular monthly meeting Wednesday night at Ringgold’s administrative headquarters in New Eagle. During the meeting, the board will discuss how Ringgold will handle the transition process until a new superintendent is hired.

Flament said that despite the great loss, Ringgold will find a way to move forward.

“She was Ringgold, and she held us together,” said Flament. “Karen will be a hard act to follow, but we will take it one day at a time. We owe it to her to continue on and give our students the very best education possible.”

Anthony L. Massafra Funeral Home and Cremation Service in Donora is handling funeral arrangements. A funeral service will be held at 10 a.m. on Wednesday at Our Lady of the Valley Catholic Church in Donora.

snarky and/or witty remark from me to my wife in that scenario, but I’m not as funny when I’m at home.

With that, she goes back into our bedroom and emerges a short time later in a different outfit and asked what did I think — if I liked that or the other one better.

“Um, yeah, that’s fine, too,” I said, realizing that she should have gotten the fact that I’m happy with whatever she was wearing at that particular moment just so the torture will end, and we can get on our way.

“Oh, so you didn’t like the first one? Why didn’t you like the first one?” she said, shattering the idea of the torture ending.

Plus, we weren’t going anywhere fancy like the prom or the all-you-can-eat-porklovers-gut-buster buffet at Big Ray Hog’s House-o-Meats. It was a doctor’s appointment that wasn’t even Amber’s appointment to start with.

going to say?

“Well, Emma, everything looks good, but I see your mom wore a color combination that’s totally out of season, so guess who’s due for their rabies shot!”

Do they still give rabies and temperament shots to children or was that just something I experienced as a kid?

Anyway, two outfit changes later, she went back into the first set of outfit she had, and we were on the verge of being 20 minutes late for a 10-minute appointment prior to which we have to sit in a waiting room for 15 minutes.

While Amber is a lost cause, I’ve seen such behavior starting to blossom with Emma. And like all things that begin to blossom around me, I need to stomp it out.

After Amber picks out Emma’s school clothes the night before school, and Emma approves those clothes, I’ll go to dress her in the morning and she cries that she doesn’t want to wear THOSE clothes.

No amount of common sense, logic and proof of showing her the release that she signed before a notary will convince the 7-year-old girl that the clothes were the ones that were

picked out with her approval.

At that point, she reacts with confusion bordering on fear like she just stumbled in a science fiction movie where up is down and left is right… unless you’re facing someone explaining to you that left is right, then it’s actually right is left, but you get the picture.

So, in my quest to shape the perfect little human, I’ve come up with a solution.

When Emma is in love with her clothes on the night they’re picked out, I’m going to have her change into them, keep her up until 3 a.m. by listening to heavy metal and drinking espresso.

That way, she’ll be nice and tired in the morning so she’ll have no fight in her, and she’ll already be dressed when we drag her to school, church, knife-jugging school or her follow-up appointment to receive her temperament shot.

That’s called parenting, people. Spread the word.

Magnitude-7.2 earthquake slams south, central Mexico ©2018 AccuWeather, Inc.

MEXICO CITY (AP) — A powerful magnitude-7.2 earthquake shook south and central Mexico Friday, causing people to flee swaying buildings and office towers in the country’s capital, where residents were still jittery after a deadly quake five months ago.

Crowds gathered on Mexico City’s central Reforma Avenue as well as on streets in Oaxaca state’s capital, nearer the quake’s epicenter, which was in a rural area close to Mexico’s Pacific coast and the border with Guerrero state. There were no immediate reports of deaths.

“It was awful,” said Mercedes Rojas Huerta, 57, who was sitting on a bench outside her home in Mexico City’s trendy Condesa district, too frightened to go back inside. “It started to

the magnitude of Friday’s quake at 7.5 but later lowered it to 7.2.

It said the epicenter was 33 miles northeast of Pinotepa in southern Oaxaca state. It had a depth of 15 miles.

Mexican Civil Protection chief Luis Felipe Puente tweeted that there were no immediate reports of damages from the quake. The Oaxaca state government said via Twitter that only material damages were reported near Pinotepa

and Santiago Jamiltepec, but that shelters were opened for those fleeing damaged homes.

In Mexico’s capital, frightened residents flooded into the streets in Condesa, including one unidentified woman wrapped in just a towel, but there were no immediate signs of damage.

“I’m scared,” said Rojas Huerta, recalling five months ago when buildings fell as she ran barefoot into the street.

“The house is old.”

shake; the cars were going here and there.

What do I do?”

She said she was still scared thinking of the Sept. 19 earthquake that caused 228 deaths in the capital and 141 more in nearby states. Many buildings in Mexico City are still damaged from that quake.

Middle school students learn science in the great outdoors “It’s not just reading about somebody else doing it — it’s them seeing it and doing it themselves.”

tudents from one local school recently had the opportunity to put down their textbooks and take to the outdoors at Ohiopyle State Park to learn about climate and winter weather.

“The kids love it,” said Barbara Wallace, environmental education specialist with the park. “It’s a fun way to think about winter.”

Science teacher Paul Garner, who teaches at A.J. McMullen Middle School in the Uniontown Area School District, said the project is a chance for students to “see the reality of the science we’re learning about.”

“It’s not just reading about somebody else doing it — it’s them seeing it and doing it themselves,” Garner said, adding that they have the chance to do things they might not normally be able to do in the classroom.

made the trek to the nearby park last week.

To a classroom full of antsy students, Wallace talked about the differences between weather and

climate.

Students offered varying responses about precipitation and temperature before Wallace used a metaphor that she’d once heard: “The climate is like our personalities, how we are all the time. The weather is our mood today.”

They also addressed climate change, to which another student guessed resulted in ice melting in Antarctica.

“That’s right. People are worried that the earth’s temperature is getting warmer and causing sea ice to melt,” Wallace said. “Climate change has been happening since the earth was formed, that’s not a new thing. We’ve seen cycles in climate change.”

Wallace added that the controversy comes in with the question of whether or not it’s people causing the drastic climate change this time around.

“We’ll take a look at scientific studies, the history of winter, and a bit about ice and snow,” Wallace told the class. “But we’re looking at science today, not opinion. Sometimes people have opinions based on things that aren’t science. That’s what science is for — having questions and trying to find answers to them.”

In small groups, students then rotated through four different stations.

Environmental education specialist Rose Bando led a group outside to a pile of snow they managed to preserve near the visitor center in light of the recent snow melt. Students took turns learning about the density and

characteristics of snow before heading back inside for the chance to analyze ice.

Taking large chunks of the frozen water from the Youghiogheny River, Wallace placed thinned pieces on polarized material. A lighted table underneath exposed the bubbles and crystals unique to each piece of ice.

State park volunteer Martha Alexander helped students learn more about albedo, which she described to the students as being the measurement of “the amount of reflection from the sun’s rays.”

In the final group, Terri Springer, with the Fayette County Conservation District, discussed latitude, longitude, the environment and the globe with students as they took turns learning about the types of animals that would inhabit coldclimate regions.

According to Garner, students in his science classes have gone to Ohiopyle for about four years.

“It gets them out of the classroom.

They seem to really enjoy the hands on stuff,” he said. “The park does such an awesome job arranging all this, and the kids are responsive.”

The activities and experiments align with the topics in Garner’s science classes. Though they won’t touch on climate until the eighth grade, Garner said it’s still a good precursor.

“It all leads up to it,” he said.

His eighth-grade students will also visit Ohiopyle in May for an outdoor biology lab, during which they’ll conduct experiments and analyze the health of the stream.

Who Was Frederick Douglass?

Mini Fact: The National Park Service will celebrate Douglass’ 200th birthday with events at Cedar Hill in February.

Cedar Hill, Douglass’ home in Washington, D.C., is a National Historic Site today.

Two hundred years ago, in Maryland, a baby was born to a female slave. When he died 77 years later, he was a famous American who had worked for equal rights for AfricanAmericans and women, who had been a newspaper writer and editor, and who had advised presidents, including Abraham Lincoln.

Early life

The little boy had a big name: Frederick Augustus Washington Bailey. His mother lived on a different plantation, and she died when he was just 7 years old. He never knew his father, who was white.

When Frederick was 8 years old, he was sent to Baltimore to work as a personal servant. He figured out that literacy, or knowing how to read and write, was the key to freedom. Most slave owners wouldn’t let their slaves learn to read. They thought learning would make slaves harder to control.

But Frederick taught himself to read and write.

Frederick bought a book when he was 12, “The Columbian Orator.” It was a book of speeches and essays about people’s rights. It not only helped him learn to read and speak better, but it gave him ideas about freedom.

Escape to freedom

At the age of 20, Frederick disguised himself as a sailor and got on a train going north, to freedom. When he arrived in New York City, he changed his name to Frederick Douglass in order to escape slave catchers.

He married Anna Murray, a free black woman who had helped him escape, and they settled in New Bedford, Massachusetts. They had five children: three boys and two girls.

Douglass found work Douglass as a and started speaking at young man meetings of abolitionists, or people who want to stop slavery. He became famous, but he worried about being captured and re-enslaved.

For two years, he traveled in Europe, speaking and selling his first book, “Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass.”

Abolitionists in the U.S. offered to buy his freedom, and he returned home.

Public life

Frederick and Anna moved to Washington, D.C., in 1872, where he held many public offices, including U.S. Marshal for the District of Columbia — a position he held under five presidents. He continued to speak and write in support of racial equality and women’s rights.

In 1882, Anna died suddenly. Two years later, Douglass married Helen Pitts, a white woman who was the daughter of abolitionists.

Douglass was married to Helen for 11 years before his death in 1895. After his death, she worked to keep Cedar Hill as a memorial to him.

Working for others

Douglass

Douglass and his family moved to Rochester, New York, and he began working for women’s rights and helping with the Underground Railroad, a network of people helping slaves escape to freedom. He started his own newspaper, The North Star.

During the Civil War, Douglass recruited African-Americans to fight and met with Lincoln to encourage equal pay and treatment for them. After the war, Douglass supported amendments to the U.S. Constitution that abolished slavery and guaranteed voting rights for all men.

Do the sun’s natural cycles affect our climate? We know that our sun has an 11-year cycle. It is quiet for a while, then it gradually gets more active, up to its “solar maximum.”

Then it settles down again. Even so, its energy output varies only a tiny fraction from lowest to highest output. We also think the sun’s energy output may vary over longer periods. Scientists aren’t sure about longer-term cycles, though.

That’s because they have been closely monitoring the sun for only about 40 years. adapted from climatekids.nasa.gov

LH approves arming school security guards

By Mike Tony

mtony@heraldstandard.com

NORTH UNION TWP. – The Laurel Highlands School Board approved Thursday a resolution to arm school security guards, following a shooting threat at Laurel Highlands High School last month.

Superintendent Jesse Wallace said the goal was for such guards to have full arrest powers and the authority to carry firearms, but he stressed that the resolution does not put a weapon in any employee’s hands at this time.

The resolution would require any school security guard to hold a state Act 235 certificate or its equivalent. Act 235 provides for the training and licensing of watch guards, protective

patrolmen, and detectives and criminal investigators as well as possession and use of lethal weapons.

School security officers would have to be approved by the Fayette County Court of Common Pleas.

“This is only the first step in the process,” Wallace said, noting a possibility that the district could hire a retired state police trooper to become an armed guard as soon as next week.

“The types of individuals that we’re looking at arming will be people who are vetted actively and properly and possess the demeanor, skills and training in order to be in our schools,” Wallace added.

In related business, the district approved posting an open assistant to the

The move follows the Uniontown Area School District hiring five district police officers earlier this month who were already employed by the district as security guards.

Laurel Highlands officials had received word of a threat to shoot students at the high school last month, the same day that a 14-year-old Uniontown Area High School student’s planned shooting at UAHS was thwarted.

Also on the topic of Mike Tony | Herald-Standard safety, board member Laurel Highlands School District Superintendent Jesse Jamie Miller-D’Andrea Wallace and board President Melvyn Sepic addressed safety said the board is currently concerns at Thursday evening’s school board meeting, researching X-ray mafollowing a shooting threat at the high school last month. chines and would like to install them in schools. chief of police/attendance to make sure we are doing “We’re going to make director position. this in a logical manner sure that we’re doing a “We are taking very but as rapidly as we can,” more diligent job checking small baby steps in order Wallace said. bags of individuals coming

“We understand what’s happening and what we have to do,” board President Melvyn Sepic said.

“And regardless of what the cost is, we’re going to have to do it.”

In other business, the board approved a proposal from McClure & Wolf for audit services for five years and approved a resolution opposing state Senate Bill 2, which would establish education savings accounts (ESAs) for families approved to participate in the ESA program and withdrawing students from public schools. The bill was referred to the Senate Education Committee in October.

AG passes preliminary budget, considers tax increase

By Eric Morris

emorris@heraldstandard.com

YORK RUN — The Albert Gallatin Area School District will apply to the state to exceed the state index for millage as the board determines how to balance the 2018-19 school budget.

Following the unanimous passage of a $54.3 million preliminary budget Monday that carries a $2.8 million deficit, the board agreed to petition the state Department of Education (PDE) for an exception that would allow it to raise the real estate tax above the Act 1 index set by the state.

The tax index, set for

each district by the PDE through the Taxpayer Relief Act, Commonly known as Act 1, seeks to ease the financial burden of homeowners by putting a maximum on the amount a district can raise taxes.

However, if districts meet certain criteria, officials can request to raise taxes above what PDE sets the limit.

The 2018-19 index is set at 3.6 percent for the district, meaning if the exception is granted, the district would be allowed to raise the millage rate by more than 3.6 percent.

The district is requesting an exception due to high costs incurred in providing special education

Brownsville Area School District

Board OKs sale of building, property

By Eric Morris

emorris@heraldstandard.com

HILLER — The Brownsville Area School District voted Thursday to sell a former elementary school property.

The school board accepted the bid of a Donora-based nonprofit ministry for the purchase of the former Central Elementary School building and property, located along Arensburg Road in Luzerne Township.

The selected bid of $25,000 was submitted

by Joel 2 Missions Inc., which offers pastoral and inner healing counseling to survivors of domestic violence and childhood sexual abuse.

The school board last month solicited sealed bids to purchase the 47,400-square-foot building that has sat unused on a 9-acre site for nearly two years.

District business manager Bill Boucher said the district accepted the higher of two bids.

In the sale, the district is retaining ownership of the property’s oil and gas rights and will have right of first refusal in the event the buyer decides to sell the property in the future, giving the district the option to re-purchase the property for the same amount for which it is selling it.

Another condition of the sale is that any schoolage children residing on the property shall attend the Brownsville Area School District or enroll in the district’s cyber school program. Boucher said this provision will allow the district to avoid

incurring costs associated with enrollment in the Pennsylvania Cyber Charter School.

Paula Millsaps, founding director of the newly established Joel 2 Missions, said the property will be used as a long-term living facility for survivors of domestic violence.

The two parties still have to execute a sale agreement for the property.

The sale of the property passed on a 7-1 vote, with school director Cheryl Terravecchia voting against the measure. Director Andy Assad was absent from the meeting.

Director John Harvey said the district will need to retain ownership of the property until June 30 to remove the contents of the building, which has been used as storage since its closure.

Central Elementary, along with Cox-Donahey Elementary in Redstone Township, was permanently shuttered at the conclusion of the 2015-16 school year as the district prepared for the opening of its new elementary complex in Hiller at the start of the following school year.

The two schools housed students in grades 3-5 and grades K-2, respectively.

According to Fayette County online property records, the Central Elementary property was valued at $3.1 million in the last county-wide assessment in 2003.

Cox-Donahey was sold to Calvary Chapel, the highest of three bidders, in November 2016 for $355,000.

programs, in addition to high payments as a result of increases in state-mandated contributions to the Pennsylvania Public School Employees’ Retirement System (PSERS).

The motion to apply for the Act 1 exception passed on a 7-2 vote, with school directors Charity Grimm Krupa and Ryan Porupski voting against the measure.

“I will not be supporting any type of tax increase,” said Grimm Krupa.

“Therefore, I cannot

support a motion that would permit the school to take steps in the direction of a tax increase.”

School director Janet Swaney said while she voted in favor of the unbalanced preliminary budget and the Act 1 application, she intends for the district’s millage rate of 14.935 mills to remain unchanged for taxpayers.

“The budget will have to be looked at, and adjustments will have to be made. I am not in favor of raising taxes in Albert

Gallatin,” said Swaney.

District business manager Denise Sheetz said revenue generated by a millage increase beyond the index would cut the budget shortfall to $2.1 million, the remainder of which could be covered by the district’s fund balance.

However, she said, the board hopes to avoid a tax increase, which can be accomplished by curbing expenditures. The school board and district administrators will have to look at areas of the budget where

spending can be reduced, Sheetz said.

Beneficial to the district, preliminary state funding figures released last week indicate about $434,000 in extra money coming the district’s way for basic and special education in 2018-19, funds that could help the district chip away at the shortfall in its new spending plan.

Sheetz said the district anticipates having a fund balance of $2.5 million at its disposal at the end of the current fiscal year.

Drone collisions, close calls underscore growing risks

By Alan Levin Bloomberg

A helicopter’s crash landing in South Carolina this week may have been triggered by a civilian drone, which would make it the first drone-related crash of an aircraft in the U.S. The incident on Wednesday involved a student pilot and an instructor, both of whom told investigators that a small drone appeared directly in front of them, according to a Charleston Police Department report. The instructor took over the controls and attempted to avoid a collision, and the tail of the helicopter hit a tree or brush, triggering a crash landing.

Neither the pilot nor the student was injured, though the helicopter’s tail appeared to have significant damage, said a person familiar with the incident, who wasn’t

authorized to discuss the inquiry publicly.

The Robinson Helicopter Co. R22 went down about 2 p.m., according to a statement by the Federal Aviation Administration. The FAA didn’t confirm the possible role of the drone. The National Transportation Safety Board is aware of initial reports that a drone may have been involved in the crash and is gathering information on the case, spokesman Chris O’Neil said in an email Thursday.

The accident investigation is the second incident involving a drone in less than a week and comes as aviation groups are demanding tighter regulations on civilian drone use following reports of other possible near collisions involving the devices.

In the U.S., drones are typically restricted to flights within 400 feet of the ground and within

sight of the operator.

They also are supposed to stay clear of traditional aircraft. But in the thousands of FAA reports of possible drone safety incidents, many involved apparent illegal flights.

The surging number of episodes combined with a regulatory system that makes it difficult to monitor drone flights has alarmed traditional aviation groups.

“The likelihood that a drone will collide with an airline aircraft is increasing,” said a letter to U.S. lawmakers earlier this week from Airlines for America, a trade group representing large carriers, and the Air Line Pilots Association and the National Air Traffic Controllers Association, the unions that represent pilots and controllers.

Even groups that have traditionally defended the rights of hobbyists to fly drones have been raising increasing alarm.

Engagements, weddings, anniversaries Olympians balance parenthood with chasing career goals PYEONGCHANG, South Korea (AP) — After finishing her fourth Winter Games in Sochi, Kikkan Randall decided: It was time to have a baby. But the cross-country skiing champion wasn’t ready to give up her Olympic goals.

So, at 32, she looked at the calendar and plotted her window: 2016, a gap year. No World Cup circuit and no Olympics.

If things worked out as planned, Randall could get pregnant, give birth and be back in competition and qualify for Pyeongchang.

It’s the kind of calculation many ambitious career women are forced to make. For the threetime World Cup Sprint Champion regarded as a pioneer of American women’s skiing, there was one more challenge ahead before retirement: Pushing herself to a fifth and final Olympics after having a child.

“I’d worked really hard to get the pinnacle of skiing ... I knew I couldn’t wait another four years to start a family,” said Randall, now 35, whose record-setting resume has earned her the nickname “Kikkanimal.”

“I’d had an amazing career up to that point,” Randall said. “I just felt like, in a sport like crosscountry, where it takes so many years to develop to your top potential, I didn’t want to have to make the choice of career or family.

I had a feeling I would be able to come back to skiing stronger, but it was definitely an unknown. If I had to pick one season to miss,

it was a good one.”

Randall did get pregnant in 2015. Her son, Breck, was born the following spring . She is the only mother on the U.S. Olympic Team, which also has 20 fathers this year.

When Randall returned to competition in 2016, she wasn’t the only new mom on skis. Randall and her friend and competitor, Aino-Kaisa Saarinen of Finland, gave birth within two weeks of each other. Marit Bjoergen of Norway — regarded as the best woman in the sport — had her child four months earlier. French skiers Aurora Jean, Anouk Faivre-Picon and Caroline Hugue, and Slovenia’s Katja Visnar had new

babies, too.

Most are competing in Pyeongchang, and have had to balance the challenges of parenthood and career with the help of fellow athletes, friends and family — and not always with the support of their workplace.

“It’s a sport that requires so much time,” said Randall’s husband, former Canadian race skier Jeff Ellis. “It’s impressive what they’ve done as moms.”

For Randall, skiing has often come first. When she married in 2008, there was training season to consider — along with the Alaska spring. She and Ellis wed at the beginning of May, shortly after both seasons

NBC’s Miller sorry for suggesting marriage is bad for skiers NEW YORK (AP) — NBC ski analyst Bode Miller apologized after suggesting that matrimony is hazardous to your career, at least if you’re a female skier. During slalom coverage, partner Dan Hicks brought up a knee injury that knocked Austria’s Anna Veith down in the rankings. “The knee was an issue,” Miller said.

“I want to point out that she also just got married and it’s historically very challenging to race in the World Cup while trying to raise a family or after being married. Not to blame the spouses, but I just want to get that out there that it could be your husband’s fault.”

(Veith married her longtime boyfriend in 2016.) An hour later, it was cleanup time.

Prompted by Hicks, Miller said he made an ill-advised attempt at a joke. “On Valentine’s Day, I did not mean

to throw spouses under the bus,” he said.

FOLLOWING WHITE: NBC avoided any awkwardness in its prime-time broadcast Wednesday about the sexual misconduct allegations against snowboarder Shaun White by staying away from a subject that hits close to home. The goldmedal hero from the night before effectively didn’t exist. A lawsuit by the female former drummer in White’s rock band accusing him of crude behavior came back into the news after White’s win. Christine Brennan of USA Today wrote, “Why in the world aren’t we talking about this?” White was asked about it during a Wednesday news conference in which no female journalists were called upon, and said he didn’t want to talk about “gossip.” His hole dug deeper, it fell to the “Today”

show’s Savannah Guthrie — whose former co-host, Matt Lauer, was dismissed in November because of an improper workplace relationship — to ask more.

She did, twice, prefacing one question by saying, “I take no pleasure in asking it.” During a pre-taped interview that aired during Tuesday night’s Olympic coverage, NBC’s Mike Tirico asked White about coming back from his loss in Sochi and an injury he suffered in New Zealand, but the accusations by Lena Zawaideh in the lawsuit settled last May never came up. Perhaps it would remind viewers of Tirico’s own history: He was suspended for three months in the early 1990s while at ESPN for lewd and unwanted advances on women. That’s clearly something NBC wants in the rearview mirror.

began. One of her coaches officiated the ceremony.

After a couple of tries, Randall conceived in August 2015. She trained throughout her pregnancy, sticking to a shortened version of her twice-a-day routine, including running through her seventh month, interval training to keep her heart rate up, and weight training — which got her some funny looks in the gym as her belly grew .

Randall delivered Breck in April and , like many moms, was back at work after six weeks, missing only a month of the training season. She would pump breast milk between workouts, time feedings around her

training, and bring Breck along in a baby jogger for hikes and runs. Easing the transition was a supportive husband, who works only in the winter, and Randall’s parents, who live close by in Anchorage.

“In today’s world it’s kind of the only way you can do it,” said her father, Ronn Randall, 68. “This is just a little bit on steroids here. But when she discussed it with us, I thought it was a completely natural thing to do. I knew it could have an impact on her career, but you don’t want a career to have an impact on your life, either.”

When Randall returned to the World Cup circuit

in 2016, Breck was also in tow, along with both sets of grandparents. With several moms competing, race organizers set up a baby room at venues for breastfeeding or changing diapers. Extra credentials were made available for caretakers, who were also able to take advantage of the team rate for accommodations.

“It was the first time they’d ever done something like that,” Randall said.

There was also a new camaraderie among the ski moms, who set up a Facebook group for support and updates.

Randall had hoped to bring Breck to Pyeongchang for her final Games, but the cost of family housing proved too expensive. The 22-month old is with her husband’s parents in Canada.

Randall said she sees an opportunity for the International Olympic Committee to do more to support athletes who are also parents.

“I haven’t experienced it from the men’s side, but there are unique challenges when you’re a mother,” she said. “We’re not talking about 500 athletes here; we’re talking about maybe 10 mothers, more if we include fathers, and not everyone’s going to take advantage of it. It allows families to be close.”

IOC spokeswoman Emmanuelle Moreau said assistance for athletes is typically provided by their national Olympic committees.

Celebrity puzzle U.S. bobsledder Elana Meyers Taylor seeks consistency in PyeongChang

By George Dickie Zap2it

For many an Olympic athlete, a silver medal is a dream realized, the culmination of a life of hard work and training and the crown jewel of a trophy case. For U.S. bobsledder Elana Meyers Taylor, it conjures thoughts of what she feels was her disappointing performance at the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi, Russia.

“It was great to walk away with the silver,” the 33-year-old product of Douglaston, Ga., says, “but I wasn’t satisfied with the way I performed.

I wasn’t satisfied with my driving and so my biggest focus this Olympics is to really put together four great runs where I’m driving well.

I want to walk away win, lose or draw with a good performance, and I don’t feel like I had that at Sochi, like I was a little bit inconsistent and that’s what caused me to not win the gold medal. But at the same time, you’re super-excited to still be able to make mistakes and win the medal at any stage.”

This week, Meyers Taylor and her push athlete Lauren Gibbs will take to the course at the Olympic Sliding Centre in PyeongChang, South Korea, in the second full week of competition at the 2018 Winter Olympics, which air on NBC, NBC Sports Network, CNBC, USA Network, NBCOlympics.com and the NBC

U.S. bobsledder Elana Meyers Taylor competes at the 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang, South Korea, on NBC, NBC Sports Network, CNBC, USA Network, NBCOlympics.com and the NBC Sports app.

Sports app.

Coming into these games, Meyers Taylor had registered but one win during the 2017-18 World Cup season, but that has left her far from discouraged. Her runs, she says, have been consistent and mistakes have been kept to a minimum.

She also points out that she’s been experimenting with different partners and sled configurations.

“Some of them have worked, some of them have not worked at all,” she says with a laugh.

“But that’s what you’ve

got to do Olympic year.”

She knows her path to gold will not be easy.

She sees stiff competition coming from Stephanie Schneider of Germany, who she says is “really hot” right now but is light on experience, and Canada’s two-time defending Olympic champion Kaillie Humphries.

“She knows how to get her four runs,” Meyers Taylor says. “She’s one of the most successful women in our sport so she’s always going to be the No. 1 competitor.”

“Four runs” is Meyers

Zap2it

Taylor’s mantra. Get in four good runs, be consistent and avoid mistakes. The rest should take care of itself.

“It’s been kind of a crazy year but I think it’s all been working together to prepare me for whatever is going to happen at the Games,” she says. “That’s the biggest thing about the Olympics, is you never know what’s going to happen, so you have to be prepared for all kinds of possibilities. ... It’s all working to prepare you, that’s for sure.”

Rape victim fears backlash for rapist from years ago Dear Annie: I’ve been feeling very inspired lately. As a firm believer in gender equality, I am so happy to see how the #MeToo movement has given so many women the relief of telling their stories and getting a weight off their shoulders. However, this also has inspired a feeling of panic within me. I, too, am a victim; but my perpetrator was not a celebrity or a public figure, so I have nothing to gain by speaking out. However, I see the relief and empowerment some women are experiencing from coming forward, and I’m wondering whether I could feel the same. Though close friends know what happened to me, my family does not know, and neither does my boyfriend. I see the backlash that this wave of voices has caused, and it frightens me. My rapist was a friend whom my parents always liked, and my boyfriend knows

Annie Lane him, too. I don’t want to ruin his life by telling people who would then hate him for something that happened years ago. I also am worried that they wouldn’t believe me or would assume the reason for my speaking up is that I want attention. But I also now realize that this is a significant part of my history,

and I don’t know what to do with it, Annie. Telling you has helped, though. What do you think I should do? — Scared of Secrets Dear Scared of Secrets: I’m so sorry that someone you considered a friend hurt you in such a profound way. You should not bear the burden of keeping this secret out of concern for him. Protecting your own mental health is far more important than protecting the social standing of an abuser.

No matter how many years it’s been, no matter how many friends you have in common, he committed sexual assault.

Any fallout he faces now he brought on himself. Who knows?

Perhaps he’ll emerge from this reckoning a better person. In any case, it’s not your problem.

By all means, you should open up to your boyfriend and family, as it seems your heart is calling

you to do so. If you need encouragement, support or just someone to talk to about your experience, you can always call the National Sexual Assault Hotline (800-656-4673).

Dear Annie: I’d like your opinion on a relationship question — but not the typical kind that you get. It’s about the relationship between Americans and British royalty.

Why is it that so many Americans, especially women, are obsessed with those British royals?

We fought a war to throw off the oppression of privileged people like them. A couple of decades later, they sent their army to attack us and burn much of our capital. I have no problem with our being friendly to the British people, but monarchy reeks of slavery and imperialism. What do you think? Personally, I blame Walt Disney! — Paul in Sonora

CryptoQuip

Put more energy into things that will make a difference to you.

Support the groups and organizations that you believe in, but don’t end up in a vulnerable position if someone asks for too much. A balance between the promises you make and financial donations you offer is a must.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Only offer what you can. Talking big may draw crowds and attention, but if you cannot follow through, it will not help your reputation, status or chance to advance.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Discipline will serve you well when it comes to striving to maintain an appearance that pleases you. Proper exercise and diet will pay off and help you build greater confidence.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) — The pressure is on, and your emotions are skyrocketing. Channel your energy into something that will encourage better cash flow, less stress and more time to enjoy life.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Take care of your responsibilities and refuse to take on demands that are too much for you. Set Soup to Nutz boundaries that will deter others from taking advantage of you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Put in the time and pump up the energy. Bring about positive changes at home that will help you channel your efforts into something that will add comfort and convenience to your life.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Don’t hide your emotions. Share the way you feel with friends, relatives and loved ones. The response you get from others will be telling and will help you make an important decision.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Get involved in activities that will challenge you and make you aware of how lucky you are. Simplify your lifestyle and ease your stress. Practice moderation and avoid regret.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Do whatever it takes to stabilize personal relationships that affect your home life. Achieving balance and equality should be your goal. A romantic gesture is encouraged.

Premier Crossword by Frank A. Longo LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Don’t stifle your emotions. The only way to make a troubling situation better is to discuss your concerns.

Find out where you stand, and accept the inevitable.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Use your energy wisely. A physical activity will bring out the best in you. Staying fit and enjoying friendly competition will do you good. Romance is highlighted.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — If you want to avoid someone interfering in your affairs, keep personal information well hidden.

Make a point to listen and observe more while saying less to gain clarity and insight.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — You’ll come up with a good plan that will help you expand your interests and talents. Explore new ways to turn your skills into financial gains. Walk away from unpredictable individuals.

solution

Dear Paul: It’s an excellent — and relevant — question. The premiere of the latest season of the Netflix series ‘’The Crown’’ garnered 3 million views in the U.S., according to Nielsen.

It seems Americans’ appetite for all things royal is as great as ever. From what I gather, many fans are fascinated by the concept of royalty, curious about the particularity of its traditions and intrigued by the glamorous yet often mysterious royals themselves. If anyone would like to share further insights into this phenomenon, please drop me a line. Ta-ta!
