n her first 12 years at Connellsville Area School District, Torrie Winseck recalls counseling two students through the traumatic experience of losing a parent to drug addiction. In the last four months, that total doubled. While the sample size is small, Winseck’s experience is emblematic of an issue that continues to grow in communities in Fayette County. As the opioid epidemic shows few signs of slowing and fatal overdoses continue to rise, school districts are left to face the destructive impact. “It’s becoming more frequent,” said Winseck, who splits her time between South Side and West Crawford elementary schools and bears the

father died from a drug overdose. Two months prior, the parent of a Connellsville Area first-grader was slain in a drug deal gone awry, in what Winseck calls another tragic drug-related death. These deaths, and similar ones that have occurred throughout the county over the past several years, leave a lasting impact on not only the surviving family members, but also the school communities that help provide emotional support in the aftermath.
Tami Puckey
Tami Puckey of Belle Vernon understands that impact. Tami’s daughter Jenna Puckey died of an overdose at in 2013 at age 22. Jenna’s daughter was 3 at the time, and still doesn’t know how her mom died. Tami and her husband had been granted physical custody of their granddaughter in 2012, but have always been the girl’s primary caregivers due to Jenna’s addiction to pills, and eventually heroin. “I think that the hardest thing for them is, and I’ve already heard it, (is) when someone says to her, where’s your mom?” Puckey said. “And she’ll look at me with these big brown eyes and doesn’t know what to say.”
A growing concern Winseck is usually one of first people notified in the event of a death in the school community. She attends the memorial service. She meets the student at the classroom on their first day back. It’s important, she says, to show support for the child and the family during the days following a death. “A lot of our students are being raised by grandparents due to the opioid epidemic,” said Winseck, one of four
counselors serving eight elementary schools in Connellsville Area. “You never know day to day what’s going to happen. For a little one to try to process what has happened, that can be difficult.” She hopes that next school year, providing support to grieving students will become easier when the district partners with the Highmark Caring Place — a program that provides grief counseling for families, and a partnership that has arisen out of necessity due to what Winseck calls “a growing problem.” While the opioid epidemic hasn’t hit the heights recorded in neighboring Washington and Westmoreland counties, it remains rampant in Fayette County. In 2012, Fayette County was the location of 14 deaths attributed to drug overdose. That number has risen each year, more than quadrupling to 60 deaths last year, according to online database OverdoseFreePA, which collects data from coroner’s offices throughout the state. In the first four months of 2017, another 21 people from around the county have succumbed to opioid addiction. In total, there have been 199 fatal overdoses in just more than five years. They occurred mostly in and around Uniontown and Connellsville. The majority of the victims were age 35 or older. When tragedy occurs with such frequency, Brenda Caromano admits that consoling can be tiring, even for a counselor. In 12 years at Uniontown Area High School, she has experienced her share of overdose deaths among students’ relatives — usually at least one per school year. “It’s very challenging,” said Caromano. “In the more extreme cases where the students are directly affected (by an unexpected death), it does become draining.”

a lifeline to students coping with the death of a loved one. They support students with grief counseling to help them understand “the why and the how,” walking them through the basic stages of grief and providing encouragement. “They want to process the death and try to understand it better. I counsel them through it and help them make sense of it,” said Rouse, one of three guidance counselors in the district. But sometimes a student may need to a little extra attention that can’t be provided in the school, instead being referred to someone who specializes in a certain area, like a child trauma specialist, Rouse said. Assad explained that schools often provide additional support through the state-mandated Student Assistance Program (SAP), in which staffers identify problems such as home drug abuse and may refer students when appropriate to additional counseling agencies for further assessment. School districts typically network with counseling agencies in the community to bring in more counselors in the case of a tragedy. They also promote inter-district collaboration, sharing resources and counselors if a crisis warrants additional assistance. A parent dying means a child could be left homeless, causing the guidance team to step in and help gather resources and provide basic necessities and lodging. Helping to heal For Caromano, the overdose Four to five times death of a loved one isn’t throughout the year, on always obvious, especially if a average, Bill Rouse helps student isn’t ready to openly students cope with death, discuss the event. usually the tragic result of car Instead, she and her team accident. have to look for other signs of Rarely is it overdose and trauma. never, during his 12-year “We absolutely see the tenure at Brownsville Area grief,” she said. “But we also Middle-High School, has see the secondary things: the a student suffered a fatal absenteeism, the poor acaoverdose.

down this path,” said Martell. “School districts have to do due diligence and set aside funds and find money in budget for it,” despite resources in a school district not being readily abundant. Officials at smaller districts, like Frazier and Brownsville, that have taken less of a hit during the epidemic, report that costs are very minimal. “We do rather well at relatively no cost,” said Brownsville Superintendent Dr. Phil Savini, noting that the district works with local agencies like the Intermediate Unit, the Fayette County Drug and Alcohol Commission or Fayette County Children & Youth Services for external grief counseling. Laurel Highlands Superintendent Dr. Jesse Wallace said the district has used grant money from the state over the last two or three years to partner with community organizations for several types of services associated with battling the epidemic: educational programs and resources, counseling, professional development. “Our counselors are touching on it weekly — almost daily — in the middle school and high school, about family members using (opioids) and how to deal with it,” said Wallace.

though we don’t know the ‘why.’” While disengagement is typical following such a traumatic event, students also can show signs of disruptive behavior. This year, Winseck encountered what she considers an “extreme” case, one that saw a student so distraught over a death that functioning in a regular classroom became impossible, facilitating a move to an emotional support classroom. “Sometimes they have a hard time dealing with all the emotions, and it comes out as a behavioral problem in the classroom, and the child needs more intensive help,” said Winseck. “To see those students go from happy and sweet to brooding and not wanting to talk to people throughout the grieving process is just astounding.” Winseck said students often open up when they realize there is someone at school who will listen. “The majority of students are open to talk, and they seem happy for someone to want to talk with them. I think sometimes they get lost in the commotion at home, as the adults at home are consumed with their own grief and there are a lot of voices. Having someone at school for the child to talk to without everyone talking around them is important.”
Security video shows methodical gunman in casino attack By Todd Pitman
The Associated Press
MANILA, Philippines — The security footage shows the man responsible for one of the Philippine capital’s deadliest attacks in years casually exiting a taxi just after midnight and walking calmly into a vast entertainment and gambling complex like any other visitor. Shortly afterward, he dons a black ski mask, slips on an ammunition vest and pulls an M4 carbine assault rifle out of his backpack. What follows borders on the surreal: a slow-motion arson attack and robbery so methodical and unhurried, the gunman appears to walk much of the way — even as he exchanges fire with security forces and flees, slightly wounded, up a stairwell. The Islamic State group claimed responsibility for the early Friday rampage at the Resorts World Manila complex; a least 37 patrons and employees died, mostly from smoke inhalation as they tried to hide, while the gunman fled to an adjoining hotel and reportedly killed himself. The video footage shown to
Associated Press
In this image made from security video released by Manila police and Resorts World Manila on Saturday, a gunman walks away after setting fire to a gambling table in the Resorts World Manila entertainment and gambling complex in suburban Pasay city, southeast of Manila, Philippines on Friday. Dozens were killed during the attack, mostly from smoke inhalation.
reporters Saturday, though, bolsters the government’s case that this was a botched robbery by a lone attacker with no known link to terrorism, and police said that’s exactly why they wanted to release it. In his first remarks on the assault, Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte said that the attacker was simply “crazy.” He questioned what the gunman was going to do with the $2
million horde of poker chips he had tried to haul away. He also discounted any links to the Islamic State group, saying this “is not the work of ISIS. The work of the ISIS is more cruel and brutal.” Despite some initially contradictory accounts of the chaos, what is known so far appears to back up that claim. Although the attacker was well armed — Manila police
chief Oscar Albayalde said he was carrying 90 bullets in three rifle clips — there are no confirmed reports that he shot any civilians. Instead, he fired into the ceilings, scattering panicked crowds, some of whom jumped out windows to escape what they believed to be a terror attack. Albayalde said the security footage also indicated a clear motive. The gunman headed straight for a storage room in the back of the casino that contained poker chips. He is seen shooting through several thick white doors, breaking down one of them at 12:18 a.m. Friday — only 11 minutes after his arrival. More than 12,000 people were in the complex at the time; most were successfully evacuated. “He could have shot everybody there,” Albayalde added. “He could have killed hundreds of people inside that establishment. But he did not shoot anybody ... he just burned the casino. Burning the casino could be a diversionary tactic for his escape.” By nightfall Saturday, the gunman’s identity was still unknown. The taxi driver who dropped him off told police said his passenger spoke fluent
Tagalog and appeared normal during the ride. The gunman asked him just one thing: to change the radio channel to the news instead of music, Albayalde said. “All indications ... point to a criminal act by an apparently emotionally disturbed individual,” said presidential spokesman Ernesto Abella. National Police Chief Ronald dela Rosa also said the attack did not appear to be terrorism, but he cautioned that authorities still know very little about the attacker. “What if we establish the identity and there are leads that will lead toward terrorism? So our findings, our conclusion, will possibly change,” he told DZMM radio. The Philippines has faced Muslim insurgencies for decades, though much of the violence has occurred in the troubled south. Many in Manila feared Friday’s attack was linked to ongoing battles with militants aligned with the Islamic State group in the southern Philippine city of Marawi. The fighting has placed the country on edge and prompted Duterte to declare martial law across the south.

Bad idea
Local lawmakers wrong about expressway extension Who could ever be against a new, modern highway connecting our area to Pittsburgh? Well, it turns out three local Republican state representatives are against it. They are Matt Dowling of Uniontown, Bud Cook of Coal Center and Ryan Warner of Perryopolis. The three recently wrote a letter to Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission, the Southwestern Pennsylvania Commission and the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, expressing their opposition to plans for extending the Mon-Fayette Expressway from Jefferson to Monroeville. “The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission’s rational for taking the Mon-Fayette extension to Monroeville is completely ridiculous,’’ said Warner. However, what Warner and Dowling and Cook apparently don’t understand is that isn’t just a road to Monroeville. This is a road to Pittsburgh. At Monroeville, the expressway would connect to Interstate 376, otherwise known as the Parkway East, providing a desperately needed direct link to Pittsburgh. Currently the Mon-Fayette Expressway ends at Jefferson, about 20 miles south of Pittsburgh. From there, motorists face a difficult trip to Pittsburgh via Route 51, which is full of traffic jams, red lights and continuous construction projects. It can easily take an hour or more to make the journey. With the expressway being extended to Monroeville and linked to the Parkway East, motorists can look forward to a quick 15-20 minute trip from Jefferson to Pittsburgh on modern, up-to-date highways. Not only will the expressway extension make it much easier for motorists to get around, it will cut down on costly travel delays for businesses in the area and open it up for economic development. State Sen. Pat Stefano, R-Bullskin Township, noted that the expressway extension project “Would kick start economic development like nothing else could.’’ In their letter, the three lawmakers said instead of building the expressway, the turnpike commission should revive plans for the Southern Beltway, which would extend the Mon-Fayette Expressway near Finleyville to the Pittsburgh International Airport. However, talk about reviving plans for the beltway would surely come as a shock to the turnpike commission. Construction is progressing quite nicely on the 25-mile extension. The first section has been completed from the airport to Route 22 and work on the second section has started. It’s expected to be completed early in 2019. Then, work is expected to being on the third section, which will run from Interstate 79 to Finleyvlle. While there’s no timetable for the completion of the project, it’s reasonable to expect that it should be completed by 2025. We agree with Warner, Dowling and Cook that the Southwestern Beltway is crucial to the economic development of our area. If push came to shove, we might even favor it over the expressway extension. But there is money to build both roads, so there’s no reason to even talk about such a difficult decision. In the end, you have to wonder what’s going on here. Are Warner, Dowling and Cook misinformed or misguided? Whatever the reason, they’re definitely mistaken. Provincialism and backward thinking have plagued the Mon-Fayette Expressway since it was first conceived in the mid-1960s. It’s time for some progressive forwardthinking, especially among our lawmakers who are paid to advocate for the best interests of local residents. The three lawmakers need to support not only the Southern Beltway but also the Mon-Fayette Expressway extension to Monroeville. The economic future of our area depends on it.
Trump has split U.S. in half
Donald Trump is the first ever president to give the backhand to good old American democracy. Indeed, the president goes out of his way to slap the living daylights out of such things as freedom of the press, religious tolerance and objective truth. An expansive view of the American future? That’s not the Trump way. Lately, you’ve noticed, he’s taken a sledge hammer to the world order —the world order the Greatest Generation fought and bled for — the world order that has been growing and evolving ever since Roosevelt and Churchill met at sea in the early 1940s and proclaimed the Atlantic Charter. Ever since the storming of the Normandy beaches. In other words, a long, long time ago and over successive generations. Minus some bumps in the road as well as some very large potholes, a lot of us thought the world was going our way. Guess not. Not according to President Trump. So long, Paris climate accord. It’s true that the president admires the authoritarians of the world — the Saudi princes and Russia’s Putin. Democratically elected leaders not so much. He’s cozy with the former, at arm’s length with the latter. The president recently chatted up the murderous Duterte of the Philippines, inviting him to the White House. Oh my. In short, our dear chief of government has a chip on his shoulder for democracy, for modernity; he is intolerant and narrow-minded with a cramped and crabby view of the U.S.A. and the world - believing, apparently, in views expressed in The Wall Street Journal by his national security advisor and his chief economics advisor, that the United States is, and always has
Richard Robbins been, a lone predator, tramping the woods for prey in a game of kill or be killed. Us against them, all of them. Ironically, one of the most metropolitan of presidents (born and bred in New York City, he spent his entire adult life living and working in the Big Apple), Trump is an urban hick, a city rube. There has never been a president like Trump. Where he’s leading us should shiver the timbers of every American. Donald Trump is a divider, not a uniter, and I mean that in the most ordinary sort of way. All the great presidents with the possible exception of Washington have been men of strong actions that cleaved the nation and in the process split apart friends and families. Trump has so far proved to be bewildering, chaotic and therefore wildly ineffective, yet he’s been the catalyst for many a break up. A woman I know in her late 30s was deleted on Facebook by a close friend from high school days on account of the 2016 election for president. My acquaintance was on the side of Clinton, her friend was with Trump. Exchanges between the two came to an abrupt and sudden end, and it looks like it’s going to
be that way indefinitely. The campaign was the high point for bitter feelings. The traffic in Facebook insults between the two sides and among erstwhile friends was terrific. More than a few friendships withered; some died. Truth be told, Trump started it all — going all the way to his candidacy announcement and the Republican mud-baths otherwise called debates. Cries of “lock her up, lock her up” in the fall exacerbated matters. Trump is like the neighborhood guy who knocks down the kids’ basketball hoop and then calls for the kids to be sent to George Junior Republic. I recently heard from a friend. “I’ve long ago gotten tired of my ‘conservative’ friends deriding me for believing ... ‘fake’ news,” he emailed — “fake news”, of course, being one of Trump’s golden oldies. My friend went on to lament the state of his relationship with a sibling, who is deep in the woods with both Fox and the Trumpster. “There is a limited number of topics that my sister or I venture into with him,” my friend wrote. “The weather is always high on the list. He is still our brother, but we don’t know where he came from or where he is going.” Now, not all things are equal, but this road travels east as well as west, north as well as south. For every to, there’s a fro. Example: The Kathy Griffin affair. How utterly stupid of Griffin, a Joan Rivers wanna-be who will now never be. The affair that got Griffin kicked off CNN was summed up by New York Post columnist John Podhoretz: “Imagine,” Podhoretz writes, “living in a bubble so impermeable it didn’t occur to (Griffin) that retailing a photograph of a decapitated president’s head
would be a horrendous career move — a bubble in which (she doesn’t) know anyone who doesn’t think the world would be a better place once Donald Trump had had his head cut off. “That is the world Kathy Griffin lives in.” Many so-called liberals live in bubbles, while not as severe as Griffin’s, severe enough to view with disdain those Trump supporters, the “morons” of the campaign, who continue to sustain the president. Liberal derision goes back a ways. I can’t count the number of conversations I’ve heard, in newsrooms and elsewhere over the years, in which the poor and uneducated were the butt of jokes. Bad grammar? A twang? Missing teeth? Owns a gun or two or three? Well, you’re not in our league. Politically, Americans are not merely divided; they lead separate lives. The number of Democrats, in the most recent Pew Research poll, who think Trump is doing a good job stands at 7 percent. Asked the same question, Republicans respond with 82 percent positive. And the beat goes on. Donald Trump Jr. tweeted on the heels of the Kathy Griffin debacle: “Disgusting but not surprising. This is the left today. They consider this acceptable.” Most of the men who have held the office of the presidency have been elevated by its duties and responsibilities. Donald Trump may be the first president to actually shrink the office, and to shrink inside its once magnificent contours.

Pittsburgh is thriving not dying By Arthur I. Cyr
Was President Trump being subtle? Probably not, but that doesn’t really matter. In declaring that he was elected to represent the citizens of Pittsburgh Pennsylvania, not Paris France, he draws attention to the remarkable environmental revolution the old-time American steel town has achieved. Business has been at the forefront of this change, adding at least irony to his statement. The president announced Thursday that he is withdrawing the U.S. from the Paris climate agreement, reached in December 2015. This comprehensive accord involves 195 nations and focuses on reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 2020. The United States government clearly was demonstrating subtlety in hosting the September 2009 summit of the G20 (Group of 20) nations in Pittsburgh, historic capital of the long-beleaguered U.S. steel industry. The G20 comprises the principal industrial nations
in the world. Pittsburgh was once the nation’s proud premier center of steel manufacturing. The demise of that domestic industry since World War II could have created a major battleground in an intense economic war, but instead local leaders have done a stellar job of adjusting to challenging change. President Barack Obama selected Pittsburgh as summit site because of remarkable success in creating what he termed “a bold example of … a 21st century economy.” Acceleration of steel decline in the early 1980s of steel greatly boosted efforts to modernize the local economy, but the transition in total has been very long-term. In 1945, Mayor David Lawrence began economic redevelopment to change the structure of the smoggy steel center. The importance of the effort was underscored by a 1948 incident in Donora, 20 miles from Pittsburgh, where severe air pollution led to the deaths of 20 people and hospitalized more than 7,000.
In dramatic contrast, Pittsburgh today has a growing reputation as a center of high-technology research, development and manufacturing, with current emphasis on energyefficient facilities. Pittsburgh unemployment during the most recent severe recession and up to today has been relatively low. By contrast, in the early 1980s the city led the nation with unemployment over 17 percent. The Economist Intelligence Unit has described Pittsburgh as the most livable city in the United States. Early in the 2009 summit week, Bill Gates of Microsoft dedicated a computer science complex at Pittsburgh’s Carnegie-Mellon University, which along with the University of Pittsburgh has served as crucial economic catalyst. Apple, Google, Intel and other computer giants have all built campus research facilities as well. The Disney Corporation also joined this heavy-duty corporate population. The very seriousness of the global financial crisis at that time has encouraged a more
open approach to sharing information by representatives of the International Monetary Fund, World Bank, World Trade Organization and the nations which comprise them. This also applies to the G20 and other such associations under the general umbrella of the United Nations. Modern presidents and prime ministers have the uniform challenge of maintaining public support, with economic management a central challenge. In this context, Pittsburgh remains an inspiring as well as appropriate G20 host. The city also provides an instructive example to the nations and leaders working to implement the challenging goals of the Paris accord. Let’s thank President Trump for calling our attention to this remarkable city, which highlights effective business innovation, facilitated by government and a responsible mature public. Arthur I.

It must be summer if watermelons are here
The watermelons are here. Summer officially began last week when I walked into the supermarket and was greeted by a large wooden bin of melons. It felt early to me: how could they be in already and, more to the point, how can they be any good at this date? The start of watermelon season feels more like a July thing, but there they were. These melons were shipped in from somewhere far away, but I’m no watermelon snob. Sometimes, in the dark cold of January, I will buy one of the perfect round baby melons, but I’m always disappointed.
choose a good one. That tells you nothing. To pick a good one you must consider its looks. The best is elongated with a dried up stem, and has a large, dark yellow flat spot at one end. That’s where the melon rested on the ground as it took in all that sun and water, growing heavy and dark red. Watermelon is my favorite food — it’s what I say when people ask. Let the others have their pizza, their steak, their sushi and chocolate cake. For me, it’s the food that leaves me waterlogged. At the peak of the season, my household goes through a large watermelon every two days, a dietary habit that

creates problems in the refrigerator. I’ve been known to finish half a melon just so I don’t have to find space for it. Maybe this fondness started in childhood, when watermelons had a million seeds; we would sit on the porch swing and spit them over the side. Some say that when farmers engineered the seeds away they also destroyed some of the flavor, but I don’t think so. Pale pink watermelons are a disappointment, seeded or not—they taste like bad cucumbers; reddest melon of high summer would be a delight even with seeds, but it’s better not to have to work around them.
Maybe the reluctant cook in me likes watermelons because you really can’t do anything with them except cut and eat. Yes, I’ve tried the recipes for frozen pops and smoothies, but the structure of a chunk of watermelon is nothing but water and sugar and when you mess with that, you get mush. At the store last week, I pawed through the box until I found the melon with the largest and darkest yellow spot. It rolled around at the bottom of my cart as I finished my shopping; my mouth was watering as I lugged it into the house. A sharp knife will slide right into a ripe melon,

President Donald Trump’s administration asked the U.S. Supreme Court Thursday to immediately reinstate his stalled travel ban, What do you think? Should the ban be reinstated? How do you think the Supreme Court will rule? Overall, what do you think about the travel ban?
“Wouldn’t Fox News would have reported it?’’ “Fake not news?’’ “The travel ban should be reinstated, and I believe it will be.’’

“Nothing that we know of. I believe the ‘travel ban’ (it’s actually a moratorium, not a ban ... but that’s just semantics) is nothing more than a ‘feel good illusion of increased security’ — no different than the increased “Trump and his supporters always take a bad situation airport security instituted by Bush, or the so-called ‘assault and make it worse.’’ weapons bans’ under Clinton. In other words, it has no measurable effect on actual security, but rather political “Do you mean the Muslim ban?’’ posturing, saying ‘See!

“The ban is illegal and everyone knows that even, Donald Trump. They should just quit trying to implement it now before it costs taxpayers more money.’’

Trump doing great harm to country I want to know where is the secret plan to defeat ISIS that candidate Trump bragged he had. When running for office, the liar Trump said he knew more than the generals and he would defeat ISIS quickly. When elected, he said he would give our generals 30 days to come up with a plan or he would use his secret plan and eliminate ISIS forever. Braggart Trump told the Russians his secret plan to bomb a Syrian air base, so they could get out of harm’s way. He also gave the Russians secret intelligence even our long-time allies did not know. I guess the liar Donald can only keep a secret from Americans like his dealings with Russian banks that his tax returns would reveal. Two-faced Donald called the terrorists Islamic terrorists when running for office and condemned Hillary and Obama for not calling terrorists Islamic terrorists. When traveling abroad, two-faced Donald
praised the leaders of Muslin-majority countries, never mentioned their civil right abuses of women and never spoke the phrase, Islamic terrorists. Hypocrite Donald often spoke fondly of Russia and bad mouthed our European allies. Now climate change has been denied and Trump has withdrawn from the Global Climate Accord. Now America stands with Syria and Russia. If you voted for this corrupt flim-flam man in the last election, you chalk it up to gullibility. America, as we knew it, is now gone. In its place we have a dog-eat-dog society being transformed into an oligarchy made up of the top 1 percent with no friends or allies while the Communists and dictatorships laugh at our stupidity and how easily we have been duped, hoodwinked, bamboozled and fleeced.

Transparency bills defended Mr. Ed Yankovich, a longtime union boss in the area, recently criticized state Sen. Pat Stefano, RBullskin Township, for introducing two bills that would make contract decisions on the state and local level more transparent. Mr .Yankovich explained his opposition to the bills by citing his 28 years of negotiating labor contracts noting that, “Bargaining labor contracts is a complex process.” Apparently, he feels that you are just not smart enough to read the contract proposal and form your own opinion. He would rather not have the constituents, who ultimately must pay

He doesn’t think you should have a say on contracts that can affect the ability to recruit and retain quality employees. While stating his stunning opposition to transparency so plainly he also got the facts of Sen. Stefano’s bills dead wrong. Sen. Stefano’s bill would not open up the negotiating process for public labor contracts or superintendent contracts. It would provide for a two-week window for the final product of those negotiations to be put to the public for their review and comment. Every other major decision in government has such a mechanism for public review. The state budget, other legislation, permits, grant applications, road projects among many others all have windows of time for the public to review and express their opinion to the decision makers.

Why are legal systems different? Hello, I’m a citizen of the United States; born and raised in Brownsville, Pa. I don’t quite understand the legal system. Back in the year of 2011, I was a victim of a simple assault. The man who assaulted me was given a sentence of nine to 23 months, but he was released in three months. Now, my friend/caregiver’s fiancé was sent to Washington jail around Feb. 28 for the same charge of simple assault. He has complied with the magistrate in what he needs to do which was to take anger management classes which he has completed,
but no court date has been set for his release. It’s not fair of the legal system doing things backwards. Someone, please tell me the difference between Fayette County law and Washington County law. Francine S. Ptak Brownsville
WPIAL has major fairness issue With WPIAL sports in the region at its end for the year, a topic continues to hover in the fringes of those activities. What is that?

Then allow the former to recruit from 67 percent of them and the latter 33 percent. That would not be fair, but it would allow the public schools to expand their sports efforts. J.K.

Sister Leonora Kondrach, OSBM
UNIONTOWN As peacefully and quietly as she lived, so was Sister Leonora’s departure from this life into the embrace of the Lord in the evening of the first of June 2017. Her gentle spirit, her quiet ways and her sweet smile are how one will always remember her. The daughter of the late Michael and Margaret (Havrilla) Kondrach, Sister Leonora (Irene) was born in Hazleton, Pa. She entered the Sisters of St. Basil the Great from St. Mary’s Church in Freeland, Pa., on July 4, 1946 and made her Final Profession of Vows on August 28, 1953. Sister Leonora dedicated over fifty years of her religious life to the ministry of teaching on the primary level and her love of teaching is one of the ways she wanted to be remembered. In addition to being a teacher, Sister also served as principal. This much-loved ministry was interrupted by a span of five years, when Sister Leonora went on to serve in parish ministry. Teaching, however, was still in her heart, and she readily went on to serve as a teacher’s aide at St. Mary’s in Cleveland. One would think that after a half-century, Sister would be ready to sit back and relax, but this was not so. On returning to the Monastery in Uniontown, Sister Leonora volunteered to help Sister Petronilla in pastoral ministry at the Manor. Here, her cheerful countenance, her pleasing personality, and her encouraging words were welcomed by the many residents she visited or with whom she prayed. Even when she herself became a resident, she continued to visit and spread cheer until serious illness prevented her from doing so. Another way for which she wanted to be remembered was a spirit of trust and compassion, and this Sister surely expressed not only at the Manor but during her many years as a teacher. Sister Leonora also had a love for music, and one of her favorite ways of relaxing was to play the piano. On any given day, she could be found or heard indulging in this recreation. In her later years, she also took up learning to play the violin, and her teacher in the Hazleton area has fond memories of the enjoyment both Sister Leonora and Sister Leona took in this activity. Sister Leonora was preceded in death by her parents and her brother John. In addition to her members in community, she is survived by her sister, Dolores (John) Kanuck, her sister-in-law Susan Kondrach; one nephew and several nieces. Relatives and friends will be received at the MONASTERY CHAPEL on Monday, June 5, from 3:30 p.m. to the time of the Parastas Service which will be sung at 7:00 p.m. The Funeral

Cher honors ex-husband Gregg Allman at rocker’s funeral MACON, Georgia (AP) — Legions of fans lined the streets of Macon, Georgia, on Saturday to honor music legend Gregg Allman as he’s carried to his final resting place in the same cemetery where he and his band members used to hang out and write songs amid the tombstones. The Saturday afternoon service is private, with only about 100 people expected to attend inside a small chapel. Mourners, including Allman’s exwife Cher, filed past white columns into the peachcolored building as five black stretch limousines waited outside. Some came through a back entrance. Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter said he would attend, honoring The Allman Brothers Band keyboardist who drew large crowds to campaign events during his 1976 presidential race. Police closed downtown streets to accommodate the crush of fans coming to watch Allman’s body being taken from the chapel to Rose Hill Cemetery, where he will be buried near his late brother, guitarist Duane Allman. Their band began its rise to fame in the central Georgia city 90 miles south of Atlanta about five decades ago, and used to write songs while hanging out in the cemetery, Alan Paul wrote in “One Way Out: The Inside History of the Allman Brothers Band.” “He’s somebody who has been in my life first as an artist and later as a real person since I was about 8 years old, and so it’s shocking to think of the world without him,” said Paul, 50, who interviewed Allman many times for his book. Allman, who blazed a
trail for many southern rock groups, died May 27 at the age of 69 at his home near Savannah, Georgia, said Michael Lehman, the rock star’s manager. He blamed liver cancer. Born in Nashville, Tennessee, Allman was raised in Florida by a single mother. Allman idolized his older brother, Duane, eventually joining a series of bands with him. Together they formed the heart of The Allman Brothers Band before Duane died in a motorcycle crash in 1971, just as they were reaching stardom. In his 2012 memoir, “My Cross to Bear,” Allman said he finally felt “brand new” at 50 after years of overindulging in women, drugs and alcohol. But hepatitis C ruined his liver, and after getting a transplant, it was music that helped him recover. Allman felt that being on the road playing music for his fans was “essential medicine for his soul,” according to a statement from the Big House, the Macon museum dedicated to the band. Lehman said he spoke with Allman the night before he died. “He said the last few days he was just, you know, tired,” Lehman said. The night before he passed away, Allman was able to listen to some of the tracks being produced for his final record, “Southern Blood,” Lehman said. The album is scheduled to be released in the fall. “He was looking forward to sharing it with the world and that dream is going to be realized,” Lehman said. “I told him that his legacy is going to be protected, and the gift that he gave to the music world will continue to live on forever.”
Surfing world icon Jack O’Neill who pioneered wetsuit dies SANTA CRUZ, Calif. (AP) — Jack O’Neill, a Northern California surfing world icon who pioneered the wetsuit, has died. O’Neill’s died of natural causes Friday at his Santa Cruz, California home, his family said in a statement. He was 94. The eye-patch wearing ocean lover died peacefully, surrounded by family in his oceanfront home of more than 50 years, waves lapping at his deck. He began wearing a black eye patch after his surfboard hit his left eye while riding a wave. O’Neill moved with his wife to San Francisco’s
Ocean Beach neighborhood in the early 1950s. Looking to surf longer in the frigid Northern California ocean, he began experimenting with various materials until he invented the first neoprene wetsuit. He opened a surf shop in San Francisco but in 1959 moved his growing family 75 miles south to Santa Cruz, where he opened his second shop to cater to the city’s growing surf scene. By the 1980s, O’Neill had become the world’s largest recreation wetsuit designer and manufacturer and the O’Neill surf brand had reached Australia, Europe, Japan and other corners of the globe.

Should the SPC not add the project to the TIP, the earmarked funding will be used elsewhere, said Snyder. “While I support the Southern Beltway project, it is imperative that the leg from Jefferson Hills to Monroeville be completed first,” she said. “If we do not utilize the funds for this project now, it is likely the money will be reallocated for a project in Philadelphia and neither the extension nor the Southern Beltway project will be completed any time soon. “The region cannot afford to lose the opportunity to connect to Pittsburgh. If construction on the Southern Beltway supersedes the completion of the Mon Fayette northern extension, the entire project will have to start from scratch to reroute access to the city.” Locally, Vicites said he continues to focus on the June 26 SPC meeting where he hopes members will support the completion of the northern extension.

As of Thursday, 28 members, including Fitzgerald, had offered their verbal commitment to vote for the project’s addition to the long-range transportation plan. “This is vital to not only Fayette County, but to all of southwestern Pennsylvania,” he said. “We must move (the northern extension) project forward.”

Bombers kill at least 6 attending Kabul funeral KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — At least six people were killed Saturday when a trio of suicide bombers struck a funeral attended by senior government officials, just three days after a powerful truck bomb in one of the most heavily guarded parts of the capital killed 90 people and wounded more than 450. The string of highprofile attacks has raised serious concerns about the ability of Afghan authorities and security forces to provide even the most basic levels of protection for its citizens. Wahid Mujro, spokesman for the Public Health ministry, said 87 people were wounded when three explosions rocked a cemetery where Salim Ezadyar, the son of a senior Afghan parliamentarian, was about to be buried. Ezadyar was one of several people killed Friday when police clashed with protestors who were demanding better security in the capital.

We Miss You
Candi Jo Mrozek Figler Our Darling Girl When tomorrow starts without me And I’m not here to see. If the sun should rise and fill your eyes with many tears for me. I wish so much you wouldn’t cry The way you did today While thinking of the many things We’ll never get to say. I know how much you love me As much as I love you. And each time you think of me, I know you’ll miss me, too. When tomorrow starts without me Don’t think we’re far apart. For every time you think of me, I’m right here - in your heart! Sometimes, when I first awake I think that you’re still here. And for that fleeting moment, The clouds have disappeared. For you were our SUNSHINE until you went away. And now there’s only clouds and rain Each hour of the day. That he moment that you left me, My heart was split in two; One side was filled with memories The other side went with you.
I often lay awake at night When the world is fast asleep. And take a walk down memory lane With tears upon my cheek. I hold you tightly within my heart; And there, you will remain. Life may somehow have gone on, But, will NEVER be the same! We love you Forever and Always! Mommy and Alex

WASHINGTON — The Washington County commissioners voted Thursday to approve an application for state funds to establish three programs aimed at reducing child sexual abuse in the county. The money from the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency will establish programs that will be conducted between Jan. 1, 2018, and Dec. 31, 2021. No county funds are needed for any of those program. It was one of a variety of agenda items tackled by the commissioners after starting off their meeting with approval of Premier Healthcare Management LLC as “preferred respondent” from among six companies seeking to purchase the 280-bed Washington County Health Center in Chartiers Township. The eventual sale is meant to free up county subsidies that now go toward operation of the four-decade-old center. Another program

Merry-goround of life comes around again and again Whenever I visit Kennywood — admittedly not as often as when my sons were boys — I invariably find my way to the merry-go-round. It is a safe post dinner ride. Unlike the Jack Rabbit or the Racer or any of the other roller coasters, which like swimming should not be entered for about 30 minutes after eating, the merrygo-round is a safe bet. It is also a good way to wind down — and around and round and round — toward the end of a long, but fun, day at the amusement park. For any parent who has a colicky child,

a merry-go-round would have been a welcome addition to the backyard. The long ride in the car is so passé. Just try taking them out of the car seat without waking them, or putting them in a full Nelson. For me, though, the merry-goround represents life. In a matter of seconds, the wheel goes round and life gets on and off. This week, my grandson Ryan graduated from pre-school. My son Tom was all too willing to gleefully show me video of Ryan dancing and singing during the ceremonies. And there were photos of Ryan in his oversized, blue gown receiving his certificate. It had cute written all over it. One of those awe moments. Even the Grinch would have to crack a smile had he been in the audience. Tom’s never ending smile suggested not only was this the best thing he’d ever seen, but the first time he’d personally seen something like this. The merry-go-round of my life began to spin in my mind. It stopped at a moment a quarter century earlier. The happy-go-lucky, silly kid with the big grin was Tom. His gown was one of my white dress shirts, worn backwards. His cap was just as ill fitting. He was seated next to his best friend Kelse Hoffman. Kelse is now in the Air Force. In the audience was my father-in-law, who we unfortunately lost way too early not long after.
A few weeks ago, Tom pulled out his phone and showed me a video. He had taken his son to the Community Bank Park in North Belle Vernon to teach Ryan to play soccer. Tom had played and lettered in soccer at Elizabeth-Forward. As I watched the video — wind up Ryan and watch him madly run around the field chasing the ball and trying his best to dribble the ball before shooting at the huge goal — the merry-go-round in my mind begins to revolve. It makes a stop in 2000. Tyler — Tom’s younger brother — is just 3. I am at the soccer field behind our home with Tom and Tyler. With several bags of soccer balls in tow, I proceed to kick corner kicks the roughly 40 yards across the regulationsized field for Tom to volley into the net. Any ball which eluded Tom, Tyler is required to retrieve and dribble all the way across the field back to me. Unbeknownst to Tyler, he is already being taught ball handling skills that would remain with him. With three dozen or so balls in play, this scene carries on until the sun sets on the horizon, shortly before my right leg unhinges at the hip and Tyler requests a piggyback ride home. The scene fades out. The wheel stops again shortly after. It is about a year and a half later. Tyler has been excitedly waiting all day for his first soccer game. I am the coach because, well, they asked me to be. It is magnet soccer — one ball followed around by a pile of 4- and 5-year-olds.
I don’t start Tyler because he is my son, and I thought at the time it was the noble thing to do. In coming years, the other parents would beg me to play him as much as possible — even before their own kids — to ensure the best chance to win. Yes, he will fill the next hundreds of times in the next 14 years. “Tyler, come in here,” I command a few minutes into the game. Like a heat-seeking missile with state-of-art sonar, Tyler throws himself into the game and immediately seeks out the ball. (That isn’t difficult. It’s the round black and white thing in the middle of a horde of kids). He scoops up the ball on his foot and proceeds to dribble through the entire opposing team, swooping right then left then right again. Soon, he is on a breakaway, headed straight for the goal. Until ... “Tyler, you’re headed the wrong way!” I shout. Tyler looks up and realizes that the keeper he is in a showdown with is wearing the same uniform as him. He stops dead and turns around. At this point, the opposing team is headed right for him. He proceeds to go through them again, like a hot knife through butter. He finds a keeper wearing a different jersey than his, he shoots and collects the first of many goals in his career. Scene fads out. Life, you see, is a merry-goround. If you miss this stop, don’t worry, it will go around again eventually.

Upgrade ‘curb appeal’ to sell house
Drs. Elizabeth Ko & Eve Glazier
Pregnant woman must quit smoking Dear Doctor: Our daughter-in-law is four months pregnant with our first grandchild. When she and our son were recently visiting for the weekend, we became aware that she’s secretly smoking. She says it’s OK because it’s just three cigarettes a day and asked us not to tell our son. Is she correct? Two future grandparents are very worried. Dear Reader: First, congratulations on your first grandchild! Let’s forget for the moment that your daughterin-law is hiding important news from her husband (that’s a topic for another advice column) and get right to your question: No, it’s not OK to smoke while pregnant. In our opinion, no one should smoke at all. Ever. Let’s start with some hard facts to share with your daughter-inlaw regarding her own health and her cigarette habit: n Smoking causes lung disease, including emphysema, chronic bronchitis and COPD. n Smoking is the leading cause of most lung cancers. n Smoking is a significant risk factor for many cancers, including colon, bladder, liver and blood cancers. n People who smoke have two to four times the risk for heart disease and stroke than non-smokers. n Even just a few daily cigarettes can cause symptoms associated with cardiovascular disease. And it’s not just nicotine, carbon monoxide and tar that are a problem. The tobacco in cigarettes is treated with dangerous chemicals to affect taste and make it burn evenly. Superheat those chemicals and draw them into your lungs, and you’re playing chicken with a host of toxins. To quote the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, an agency not given to alarmist sentiments, “Cigarette smoking harms nearly
every organ of the body, causes many diseases and reduces the health of smokers in general.” Now that the basics are out of the way, let’s get specific about what happens when pregnant women smoke. n Smokers have an increased risk of miscarriage. n Babies born to smokers have a lower birth weight. And while having a smaller baby doesn’t sound that bad, low birth weight is a predictor of infant mortality. n When a pregnant woman smokes, she puts her placenta, the unborn baby’s source of nutrition and oxygen, at risk. Smoking can cause the placenta to separate from the uterus too early. Known as placental abruption, this can prevent the baby from getting adequate oxygen and food. It can result in bleeding, which is a danger to both mother and baby. n Babies whose mothers smoke during and even after pregnancy are at elevated risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, also known as SIDS. n Research shows that babies born to smokers have a slightly elevated risk of certain birth defects, like a cleft lip or cleft palate. And now for the good news — it’s never too late to quit. We recommend that your son’s wife come clean about her habit to her OB-GYN. The fact that she has been smoking is information that her doctor needs in order to provide the best care. Also, her doctor can help her craft a plan to quit. If she insists on going solo, there’s a host of resources via cdc.gov or 1-800-QUIT-NOW (1-800-784-8669). Eve Glazier, M.D., MBA, is an internist and assistant professor of medicine at UCLA Health. Elizabeth Ko, M.D., is an internist and primary care physician at UCLA Health.
Dear Heloise: We are getting ready to SELL OUR HOME, and first impressions count, right? We decided to upgrade its “curb appeal.” There are lots of small details of the house and front yard that we focused on to get the whole house looking great. Here are some ideas we used: n Pink flamingos and other yard art are tacky and do not appeal to the general public. Dump ’em. n Lighting is critical. Lights not only brighten the house, but add to safety. Low lighting can create a dangerous walking situation at night. n The lawn absolutely must be pristine, trimmed neatly, lush and green, flowers planted evenly, and trees should be cut back away from the house, but they should not look raw. n Crisp new paint on the front door is an eye-catcher. n New house numbers
Heloise look great, and also are necessary for guests and emergency personnel to find you. n Power-washing the driveway and sidewalk eliminates years of grime, can reduce oil spots and generally makes things sparkle. Ask your Realtor for more hints and ideas to boost your home’s curb appeal. These hints helped us tremendously, and made the sale of the property quicker and easier. — Brenda and Dan in Dallas
PET PAL Dear Readers: Anna
in Austin, Texas, sent a picture of her gorgeous Bengal kitten, King Rollie. Rollie has amazing, regal spots, and truly looks like royalty. Oh, and Anna just became a veterinarian, so Rollie is in the best of hands. No doubt he will be treated like a king! To see King Rollie and our other pet pals, visit www.Heloise.com and click on “Pet of the Week.” If you have a funny and furry friend you’d like to share, email a picture, stats on the animal and an amusing anecdote to: Heloise@ Heloise.com. — Heloise
GOING TO THE MAT Dear Heloise: A big help when going to the vet with our dog is to bring an old rubber bathmat to use on the cold and slippery stainless-steel exam table. If the dog is not happy or is fighting being up there, at least he is not slipping and sliding all
over the place, and he is easier to hold for the exam. I have been doing this for 15 years. — Candace in Hagerstown, Md.
WHEATGRASS Dear Heloise: The stunning bright green of wheatgrass looks beautiful in white containers, and it is easy to grow, cheap and readily available. My nursery has it, and pet stores and big-box stores carry it, too. My cat started eating it. At first, I was concerned, but I called my veterinarian, and he assured me that wheatgrass is perfectly fine and healthy for animals to consume. — Ramona R. in Chicago
LOSE THE WRINKLE Dear Readers: Got a deep wrinkle on clothes that you want to banish quickly? Sponge on some white vinegar, use a pressing cloth and press with a warm iron. Voila! Like magic, it’s gone! — Heloise
A dad celebrates finding lessons where he least expects them By Lester Davis
Special to The Washington Post
I made an arrangement with my 6-year-old son earlier this spring that seemed to benefit both of us. I’d pay him a penny for every stick he collected from our back yard, and he’d earn enough money to buy a few pieces of candy. As a bonus, outsourcing the work to him would spare my back from the pain brought on by constant bending. But 10 minutes into what should have been a simple job, I glanced out my kitchen window and noticed that instead of placing the sticks in the paper lawn bag I’d left him, my son, Dean, was lining them up in some kind of intricate pattern near the swing set. I stood by the window, puzzled, and watched him for a few seconds before calling outside. “Son,” I said, “I’m not paying you to play with the sticks. Get to work.” A few minutes later, Dean burst into the kitchen and yanked frantically on a drawer where we keep paper and pens. “Son, there aren’t any sticks in this kitchen,” I said. He told me that he’d changed his mind about cleaning up the backyard. He was going to build a fort instead. He was searching, he told me, for paper and a pen to plot the steps for his construction project. I tried to hide my frustration, but a tiny part of
me was annoyed that, yet again, one of our children had found a way to get out of a chore that began as nonnegotiable. Over the next several hours, I watched from a distance as my middle child repeatedly lined up scraggly sticks in an attempt to build his prized fort, only to have them come crashing down around his feet. I convinced myself that he’d eventually get bored, and then I could insist he get back to work. But a pattern quickly developed. He’d hypothesize, carry out an action and then record his findings on the paper. I realized that rather than defying me, my son was conducting a science experiment. And we weren’t the only ones paying attention to Dean’s adventures in our back yard. A post my wife wrote on Facebook drew 54 responses and more than 125 emoji responses. Many commenters encouraged Dean’s project, while a few offered to connect him to friends who were engineers, or at least familiar with a hammer. “For those of you following the Dean-wantsto-build-a-fort story line, apparently sticks won’t work, but our hero plans to keep trying! Viewers, stay tuned,” my wife wrote. Later that night, after we’d put the children to bed, my wife, still impressed by Dean’s
determination, made a suggestion that seemed almost comical to me. What if I helped him build a fort, she asked? I raised an eyebrow and shot her a look that said, “you’re not married to the handy type.” After a good laugh, we moved on to a different topic. As I drifted off to sleep, though, I couldn’t shake the image of my son in the backyard, determined to succeed and convinced that his best effort could result in something worthwhile. The next morning, I was still thinking about my wife’s suggestion. With the children out of earshot, I told her about my plans to help Dean, and watched as her face settled into an “oh, honey you were right, I didn’t marry the handy type” expression. We agreed that we wouldn’t share our plans with the children until we were on our way to the hardware store. No sense building up their hopes prematurely. That weekend, as we drove to the store, I informed them that we were going to buy supplies to build a fort in the backyard. They danced in their seats and talked about the materials we’d need. At the store, we made our way to the lumber aisle. I stood in front of a stack of two-by-fours for what must have felt like too long to a 5-year-old, because my daughter walked to a nearby pallet of wood and said “maybe
we can use these sticks, daddy.” I gave myself a silent pep talk and took my cart full of wood, nails and a few other items to the checkout. Back home, the children were so excited that they insisted on dragging the eight-foot-long pieces of wood up the hill in our back yard. These were the same children who scream in protest anytime we ask them to carry a loaf of bread inside after a trip to the grocery store. We put our heads together and, over the course of a couple of hours, turned the pieces of wood into a structure that, while more teepee than fort, represented our collective best effort. After the frame was complete, the children helped me staple a tarp on as the roof. They smiled as we stood and admired what my oldest son declared “the best fort in the world.” The fort has inspired my children to spend more time outside, plotting all kinds of mischief and mayhem. And our best effort, in this case, yielded much that was worthwhile: inspired outdoor play, time together and a sense of accomplishment. In the process, I learned that some of life’s best lessons happen when you least expect them. Davis is deputy chief of staff and communications director for the president of the Baltimore City Council.

West Greene softball a true ‘Sister Act’ By Les Harvath
For the Herald-Standard
M
ove over Whoopi Goldberg! Sure, you had hit movies such as “Sister Act” and “Sister Act 2,” but you don’t have anything on this real sisters act, the West Greene Lady Pioneers softball team. Last season the Lady Pioneers won their first section title since 1983, and became the first girls team from the school to win a WPIAL title in school history — a 12-3 triumph over Chartiers-Houston to claim the Class A championship — and became the only team to reach the PIAA championship game. West Greene finished 26-2 last year, absorbing their second loss in the PIAA Class A finals. With another WPIAL title now in their back pocket (10-0 win over Monessen on Thursday), to go along with another section title (Section 2-A) this season, it represents the first time the team has won back-toback sections, as well as WPIAL titles. With a 22-1 record — the Lady Pioneers’ lone setback was to Class AAA playoff team Waynesburg Central by a score of 7-6 — and ranked No. 1 in Class A, the Pioneers are primed for another run to the state championship game. Balance and depth are understatements describing the Lady Pioneers. “Keys to this season have been our overall numbers and depth, and we have all team-oriented players,” said coach Bill Simms, in his 12th season, describing the character of the team. “It’s total team effort.”

West Greene’s McKenna Lampe rounds third and goes home to score the Lady Pioneers’ opening run during the first inning of Thursday’s WPIAL Class A championship game against Monessen at California University of Pennsylvania’s Lilley Field. Lampe and her twin sister, Madison Lampe, are just one of four pairs of sisters who play for the two-time WPIAL softball champions, who begin their run at a second straight PIAA final appearance on Monday.
CALIFORNIA — When an athlete is as talented and as dominant as Belle Vernon Area lefty Bailey Parshall, motivation isn’t usually needed. After all, the junior ace verballed to Penn State before even throwing one pitch in high school and already owns school records for wins (56) and strikeouts (651). But when that extra motivation is there, it burns inside of athletes and gives them that little bit of extra fuel. Parshall’s first taste of motivation during her high school softball career came in her second game when she didn’t start in the pitching circle. She was in the lineup at first base, and it ate at her. “That motivated me but it made me work extra hard on and off the field,” she said with a fire in her eyes. Belle Vernon lost that game to Latrobe, 4-0, and she has started in the circle every game since then. Parshall’s most recent motivation culminated Thursday in Belle Vernon’s 4-1 WPIAL Class AAAA championship win over Yough, Belle Vernon’s bitter rival. However, the motivation for the 32nd-ranked junior in the country by FloSoftball was a slow marinade as it dates back to May 18, 2016. After leading BVA to the WPIAL Class AAA crown as a freshman in 2015, BVA did not make the playoffs in 2016 due to confusion with the roster which led to the team having to forfeit three wins.

Steelers TE Grimble looking good in OTAs By Jim Wexell
For the Herald-Standard
PITTSBURGH — Jesse James has looked every bit the part of the high draft pick among the Pittsburgh Steelers’ tight end group this spring. Of course, James was only a fifth-rounder. That might say something about the group, but, then again, the other guy, the undrafted guy expected to replace Ladarius Green as the playmaker of the group, looks better than at any point during HIS stay with the team. “X is looking really good,” Ryan Shazier said of the Steelers’ X-factor this season, Xavier Grimble, who on Wednesday was making plays as if he was born to make them. Short, deep, inside, outside, Grimble seemed to Kevin Lorenzi|Calkins Media be everywhere on a day that Scott Orndoff (80), a native of Waynesburg, and Phazahn Odom (44) go through a drill at the UPMC Rooney was obviously intended as a Sports Complex in Pittsburgh. showcase — maybe even a test — for the tight ends. impressive performance, That was his red line. But he said. Grimble beat Tyler even by spring standards. he said he “left some plays Maybe he just cleared Matakevich short to score an “Yeah, I had a better day out there.” So he went home, his head, because when it early touchdown, and then than yesterday,” Grimble curled up with his playbook was mentioned that it didn’t beat Bud Dupree and Vince said with his typical and went to bed early. appear Grimble was thinking Williams on an intermediate humility. “I got my rest and got on the field, he was quick to pass that turned into a long Not that he had made any ready to come back out here smile. touchdown run. It was an mental mistakes on Tuesday. with a better frame of mind,” “Yep, just playing,” he said
as if the weight of a thousand previous practices had fallen from his shoulders. “It’s what you hope for, to play just for pure fun, when you’re not thinking about nothing but making the play.” Grimble has shown those glimpses since the 6-4, 261-pounder played at USC. He wasn’t drafted, but spent time on a pair of practice squads before landing with the Steelers. He spent 2015 on the practice squad before making the active roster last season. In 11 games he caught 11 passes for 118 yards and a pair of touchdowns, and has suddenly been thrust into the role of playmaking TE upon the release of Green. Behind Grimble and James this year are H-back/fullback David Johnson and a pair of undrafted rookies: Scott Orndoff — the better blocker and all-around tight end — and the tantalizingly athletic 6-foot-8 Phazahn Odom. The two rookies can follow Grimble’s path, which he discussed after doing postpractice sprints on the far field. He was the last man off the field on this day.

Marlins’ Volquez throws no-hitter MIAMI (AP) — Edinson Volquez has thrown the sixth no-hitter in Miami Marlins history, facing the minimum 27 batters and beating the Arizona Diamondbacks 3-0 on Saturday. Volquez (2-7) struck out 10, and the two baserunners who reached on walks were erased by double plays. He needed 98 pitches, the last of those striking out Chris Owings to complete the masterpiece. It’s the first no-hitter in the majors this season, and the first time Arizona was no-hit since the Marlins’ Anibal Sanchez threw one on Sept. 6, 2006. Volquez was nearly knocked out of the game after only three pitches, when he collided with Diamondback leadoff man Rey
Fuentes as he covered first and rolled his ankle. “I thought I broke my ankle,” he kidded after the game. The 33-year-old righty from the Dominican Republic stayed in, and wound up throwing the game of his life. Volquez was one of the pitchers the Marlins brought in this past offseason in part to fill the void caused by the death of ace Jose Fernandez, who died in a boat crash last September. His first season in Miami started about as badly as possible; the Marlins lost eight of his first nine starts and Volquez dropped his first seven decisions. Tied for the major league lead in losses going into Saturday, he was nearly perfect. Nick Ahmed — who broke
up a no-hit bid by Milwaukee’s Chase Anderson in the eighth inning one week earlier — led off the ninth for Arizona and struck out on four pitches. Pinch-hitter Daniel Descalso came up, and after falling behind 2-0 lead in the count, Volquez stopped for a moment, composed himself with a deep breath, and eventually got the strikeout on a 2-2 fastball. That left it up to Owings, another pinch-hitter. Strike one. Strike two. And then came a swing and a miss for strike three, one that got away from catcher J.T. Realmuto for a brief moment before he fired to Justin Bour at first to seal the no-hitter as the Marlins swarmed the field in celebration.

The Pirates’ Elias Diaz connects for a three-run double against the New York Mets during the fourth inning on Friday night.
Late sub Diaz has 1st homer, 6 RBIs as Pirates top Mets, 12-7
NEW YORK (AP) — With catcher Francisco Cervelli feeling ill and ace Gerrit Cole struggling again, Pittsburgh needed a boost at the plate. Elias Diaz had just the thing for the ailing Pirates. “Big shot in the arm,” manager Clint Hurdle said. Diaz hit his first major league homer and drove in six runs as a late addition to the lineup, lifting the Pirates over the New York Mets 12-7 on Friday night. Diaz hit a go-ahead, threerun shot off reliever Paul Sewald (0-1) during a sevenrun sixth inning. Pittsburgh led 11-7 when New York finally retired the side, a swift reversal after the Mets went up 7-4 with a five-run fifth. Diaz also had a three-run double off Matt Harvey in the fourth. The rookie catcher got the start when Cervelli was scratched just after batting practice, about 30 minutes before the first pitch. “Those two big swings, that’s a night he’ll never forget,” Hurdle said. Diaz entered 2 for 12 in six games this season and had just one RBI in a three-year career hampered by injuries. He had the ball from his first homer in his locker after the game. “I’m going to keep it with me, right there,” Diaz said through a translator. Lucas Duda hit a pair of upper-deck homers for New York, and Michael Conforto added his 14th of the season. Each team hit three home runs. The Pirates bailed out Cole (3-5) on another rocky night for the right-hander. He allowed seven runs and eight hits, including three homers, over five innings. He’s allowed 16 runs and eight homers over his past three starts. Diaz’s bases-loaded double was a liner off the wall in leftcenter, and his homer was a low drive that easily cleared
the wall in left. “I was screaming like, ‘Get up! Get up!’” teammate Josh Bell said. “Then I look, and I’m like, ‘That ball doesn’t need to get up at all. It’s already out.’ He hit that ball on the nose. Really impressive. We were all freaking out for him.” Diaz also began an inningending double play on Harvey’s bunt in the second, deftly springing for the ball in front of the right-handed batter’s box to begin the 2-5-4 effort. Diaz had the first six-RBI game for Pittsburgh since Neil Walker — now with the Mets — on Sept. 23, 2015, at Colorado. He batted with a runner at first in the ninth but struck out. Pittsburgh matched a season best with its 12 runs.
at 426 feet by Statcast. Duda has six homers in his past nine games and 10 overall. He has 118 with the Mets, tying Ed Kranepool for 10th in team history.
BELL HOP The upper-deck shots by Duda weren’t the longest in this slugfest. That honor went to Josh Bell, whose 10th homer of the season was projected at 441 feet to right-center leading off the Pittsburgh sixth.

the chest. The Steelers don’t release spring injury information, so the seriousness of the apparent injury won’t be known until next Tuesday’s practice. But Cameron Heyward, who was standing with Hargrave as he was being checked by the training staff on the sideline, doesn’t believe it’s a serious injury, such as a torn pec. “No, no,” Heyward said. “We don’t really know what it is yet. I don’t think it’s that serious. I think it’s a contusion of his chest.” Heyward sat out of Thursday’s practice as he recovers from his own torn pec, but said he’s fine and coming along at the proper pace. He and opposite end Stephon Tuitt (hand surgery) have missed most of the spring scrimmages, and with Hargrave out the firstteam DL was comprised of L.T. Walton, Daniel McCullers and Johnny Maxey. Veteran free-agent acquisition Tyson Alualu has missed all scrimmage time with a calf injury, but undergoes conditioning on another field.
“Coming from where I’ve been, it’s hard to let that pressure of being an outsider go,” Grimble said. “Everywhere I’ve been it’s always been that way. Part of me wants to carry that with me everywhere I go, just so I keep that same work ethic. But, yeah, I finally can let a little bit of that pressure go — a tiny bit.” Grimble said the release of Green came as a surprise to all. “He had told me earlier in that week that he was coming in on Thursday and he told me to save his seat and everything,” Grimble said. Green was cut after failing his physical on Thursday, May 18. “Definitely sad about it,” Grimble said. “He was a good guy, a guy I watched his whole career.

the learning environment here on the South Side. “It’s different,” Dobbs said. “It’s a different environment than I’ve been in. (It’s) an environment where you’re just around football each and every day. I’m really enjoying it and I’m learning a lot from it. Just becoming a professional, you wake up and all you do is football. It’s a little different than splitting your days half and half with school and football, especially with all the studying. I’m enjoying the process and learning a lot each day.” Dobbs was known to stay up until 3:30 a.m. on game days to finish difficult school projects. But that’s in the past — for the time being. “Everyone on the team is embracing you no matter what the position is,” Dobbs said. “They’ve been able to give me different tips and different nuggets, whether it’s before or after practice in the film room, on the field in the middle of practice, even when I’m not with them and I go and watch football by myself I can add to my game. It’s been a great learning experience.”
his life. Bryant did sit out one practice the first week, so he was asked if his new muscledup body might be prone to nagging pulls. “I’m not worried about injuries,” Bryant said. “Injuries come and go. As long as I feel great with my body and how big I am, I’m happy. It’s working great.” Bryant said he “worked on my legs, my upper body, conditioning,” while under suspension. “Everything you do in training, I did it,” he said. “I took care of my body.” Does Bryant need to wait until training camp to appreciate his added strength? “No, I know that I’m strong,” he said. “I’m not worried about that stuff. When the pads come on, I’ll be ready for that. Plus, I get to go back home and train for another month and I’m going to work out and do things to get me ready for camp.”

How the catfish toss came to be a Predators thing NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Detroit Red Wings fans have their octopi. The Panthers’ faithful in Florida had the “rat trick.” Nashville? The Predators have catfish, the Southern staple that has become a beloved badge of honor fans delight in throwing onto the ice for good luck. Who started Music City’s slippery tradition? This fish tale stretches from the home of one of the Original Six NHL franchises to what once was one of Nashville’s seediest neighborhoods a generation ago, following the long and twisting path of a man who has been a country music drummer, disc jockey, chef and restaurant owner. And, as he tells it, Nashville’s original catfish chucker. That man is Bob Wolf, and he feels his need for secrecy finally is at an end. “It’s been 20 years almost, and it’s time,” Wolf said. Indeed it is. The Predators are about to host their first Stanley Cup Final game, on Saturday night. Pittsburgh leads the best-of-seven series 2-0, but that’s another story. Nashville’s catfish tradition is well known around here, but it became national news earlier this week thanks to Jacob Waddell, 36 . After an extraordinary effort to conceal a flattened catfish on his person, Waddell threw it onto the ice — in Pittsburgh — on Monday night. The Predators then scored three goals before Pittsburgh pulled out a 5-3 win in the opener. Waddell was charged with disorderly conduct, possessing instruments of crime
and disrupting meetings or processions before they were withdrawn. Wolf, of course, watched all this from afar with some measure of satisfaction. He says the idea to toss a catfish grew out a discussion at Wolfy’s during the Predators’ inaugural season, back in 1998-99. Wolf is a Rangers’ fan born in Brooklyn who had played drums for Johnny Paycheck and others before going into the restaurant business in Nashville. He helped open the restaurant bearing his name across from renowned honky-tonk Tootsie’s Orchid Lounge. He also lobbied Nashville to build an arena on the other corner to spur redevelopment of what then was a neighborhood down on its luck. Back then, he served burgers to construction workers and the Predators’ new owner, Craig Leipold. Once Nashville landed an NHL expansion franchise, Wolfy’s became a go-to stop for fans and players. There were also a fair number of Red Wings fans in the area, thanks to General Motors’ nearby Saturn plant and the automaker’s close ties to Detroit. The Red Wings immediately became Nashville’s biggest foe. A couple days before Detroit’s visit in January 1999, Wolf said, he sat with friends looking for a uniquely Tennessee answer to the Red Wings’ storied octopus tradition. Jack Daniel’s whiskey was too precious. Guitar picks way too small. Wolf’s inspiration came when he walked outside and looked down Broadway to the Cumberland River.
Catfish! Wolf bought a nine-pound catfish and wrapped it in newspaper and plastic wrap. On Jan. 26, 1999, Wolf tucked the catfish underneath his Predators’ jersey, walked in and waited for Nashville’s first goal. The stench started wafting around him until the Preds’ lone goal in what ended up a 4-1 loss. Wolf said he tossed the catfish, then ran up the aisle. Friends around the arena provided cover and a distraction by running as well. “The first time I saw the catfish flop on the ice, we were playing Detroit so I thought it was an octopus,” Leipold, now owner of the Minnesota Wild, wrote in an email to The AP. “I was pleasantly surprised when I realized it was a catfish. I figured that it had to be one of our fans mocking the Red Wings. I was not disappointed.” Wolf said Leipold, still a close friend, did not know about the catfish. With a small bar inside the arena, Wolf said he knew where to hide from security, too. “It wasn’t meant to be anything but fun and answer Detroit’s call to their octopus,” said Wolf, now semi-retired and living in Saint Paul, Minnesota. “’Hey, we’re the new Southern team on the ice, and we’re going to throw a catfish on the ice.’ That was kind of the attitude that day.” Nashville was hooked. The catfish caught on. The tradition became so popular that officials started handing out delay of game penalties against the Predators, which put things on ice for a while.

Charleroi’s Goimarac used size, talent to excel in football By Wayne Stewart
For the Herald-Standard
All football fans know the names, statistics and even the jersey numbers of the stars who play the glamor positions — the legends such as Jim Brown, Gale Sayers and Johnny Unitas. However, those men wouldn’t have had gaping holes to dart through or impenetrable pockets to provide them with ample time to unleash passes without the men who do the grunt work in the trenches. Charleroi High School’s Pete Goimarac was one such blue collar worker. A 1960 graduate, Goimarac participated in both football and track for the Cougars, but the recognition he did gain came from his gridiron play. His talent was so obvious, his legendary coach, Rab Currie, gave him the starting nod on the offensive line when he was a mere sophomore. Charleroi sports historian Tom Jenkins noted that the 6-foot-3, 220pound tackle, who played at the end position on defense, was “extremely fast for a player his size. There was hardly anybody that big in high school then. That size made you a behemoth back then. He was also so versatile that Currie used him at every

offensive line position. The coaching staff even considered using him as a fullback.” In fact, at times during practices, Goimarac worked out as a fullback. “He was one of a kind.”
He continued to shine as a junior — so much that he was named to the 1958 second team All-Big Six squad at the tackle spot. In the 1959 season his Cougars enjoyed a glistening season, winning
their conference title then advancing to capture the WPIAL championship by squeaking by Aliquippa at Pitt Stadium by a 13-12 score after initially building up a 13-0 lead. The Quips stormed back with two fourth-quarter touchdowns, but they failed twice to convert on their extra point attempts. The exciting victory capped off a perfect 11-0 season. It marked only the second time Charleroi had an undefeated football team. The other time was in 1936 with a team which also won the WPIAL crown. The 1959 Cougars were ranked as the fifth best high school team in the country. Jenkins stated, “Only number one Massillion, Ohio, number two Miami Edison, number three Lane Tech of Chicago, and number four New Dorp of N.Y. were ahead of this group of Cougars.” Then a senior, Goimarac wasn’t through compiling honors. He went on to make the AllBig Six first team as an unanimous selection, this time as a guard. Jenkins recalled, “He was picked as a combination end, tackle, guard, center on the Big 33 squad that played the National High School All-American
team in Hershey. Pete started that game as the center and his teammate Gary Hogan was the starting quarterback. The game, which was played in a driving rain storm, ended in a 0-0 tie.” Incidentally, Hogan and Goimarac grew up in the same neighborhood. Goimarac’s honors also included making first team All-WPIAL and first team All-State. Jenkins added, “To cap off a great scholastic career, Pete was named to the High School All-American team by Scholastic Magazine and was named second team All-American by a national poll of coaches, writers broadcasters and college and professional scouts.” Naturally, Goimarac was flooded with college scholarship offers. He finally decided to head west to South Bend, Indiana, to join the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. He wasn’t there too long before he decided it would be wise to transfer to West Virginia. That was probably a great decision as it was there, as a Mountaineer, that his talent again emerged. He was a three-year starter and letterman as a linebacker and center, and he was selected to serve as the team captain when he was a senior. As a senior
he had 43 solo tackles plus 34 assists, and, in a game versus Pitt, he set a school record with 16 tackles. In addition, he was AllSouthern Conference as a junior and senior at the center position. To top things off, in his senior season, 1963, Goimarac was selected to the second team AllAmerican squad. Goimarac was so impressive he was coveted by two pro leagues. In 1964, he was drafted in the fifth round by the San Diego Chargers of the old AFL, a team which was coming off a championship season. The Philadelphia Eagles made him the 86th overall NFL pick that same year. He opted to sign with the Eagles, a move that earned him a $5,000 signing bonus. He made it all the way to the team’s final cut, but, unfortunately did not play in an NFL regular season contest. In 1987, Goimarac was inducted into the Charleroi High School football Hall of Fame. Twenty-three years later he was selected (posthumously) as an honoree in the Mid Mon Valley All Sports Hall of Fame. In 2002, at the age of 59, Goimarac passed away at his Palm Coast, Florida, residence.

And, oh yes, the Lady Pioneers are strong offensively, with four players batting over .400, as the team sports a .427 team average. They have crossed the plate 252 times, while surrendering only 31 runs. And, oh yes, pitching strength, with the 22-1 mark, is added to the mix. And, oh yes, three of the players received all-state honors last year. Two are sophomores, one a junior this year ... which means all are back next year. But add perhaps another between-the-lines factor that has contributed to the team’s success: family ties ... and it’s not a syndicated television sitcom. In what Simms, who teaches history and is also the school’s athletic director, said, laughing, is “certainly an anomaly,” there are four sets of sisters on the 25-player roster, including two sets of twins. “We are blessed with family ties,” Simms added, chuckling at the suggestion that the siblings connections had anything to do with the water in Pennsylvania’s southwestern-most county. “It’s just one of those things.” Simms added that there were three sisters and a cousin on one team a decade ago. Leading the way for the Lady Pioneers are sophomore identical twins Madison and McKenna Lampe, returning allstate selections. Center fielder McKenna Lampe leads the team with a .662 average, followed by third baseman Madison Lampe at .579. A right-handed batter, Madison Lampe hits second in the lineup Madison has great range, a strong arm, speed and has more offensive power this season, said Simms, who added, “She is the female version of Brooks Robinson.” Lead-off batter McKenna Lampe bats from the left side. She has speed, power and “outruns everyone to first base,” Simms said. In addition to her .662 average, McKenna Lampe has seven home runs and 31 runs batted in and has crossed the plate 57 times this

season. “We’ve been playing together a lot of years and we know how everyone on the team plays,” McKenna Lampe said. “It helps knowing each other and what they are going to do. Other teams say, ‘Wow, are they twins?’ and, ‘It must be pretty cool having two sets of twins on same team.’” Referring to her twinly status, McKenna Lampe added, “Being an identical twin is definitely cool. We are competitive and push each other, but we always support and encourage each other.” Madison Renner has driven in a team-high 51 runs and last year drove in 66 runs, a Pennsylvania record, Simms said he was informed.

Perusing the Lady Pioneers lineup, the numbers include two seniors, three juniors, four sophomores and one freshman (Jade Renner). Simms, however, was quick to point out that the girls are more, much more, than softball players. Haleigh and Makenzie Thomas are members of Future Farmers of America and attended the National FFA Convention in Indianapolis in October. Additionally, they are members of the West Greene rifle team and copped the first section title in school history this year. Emily and Brianna Goodwin

Madison Renner was named to the PIAA All-State softball squad last year and has clubbed 10 round-trippers. “It’s amazing, spectacular that we have four sets of sisters on the team,” Madison Renner said. “It’s fun to play together. We all get along and pick up each other. We believe in each other and we don’t yell at each other. We are a team. We have all grown up together and have all played together. It’s definitely unusual with four sets of sisters and two sets of twins on one team. It’s crazy how we have so many sisters on the team.

Brianna was a member of this year’s section championship girls basketball team, the first since 2000, and this year’s team was the first basketball team in school history to reach the WPIAL semifinals and PIAA playoffs. Madison and McKenna Lampe qualified for the PIAA cross country championships last fall, and both are starting guards on the basketball team, on pace to score 1,000 points next season as juniors. West Greene will begin its quest for the PIAA title that eluded them last year Monday when the Lady Pioneers travel to North Allegheny to take on District 5 runner-up Shanksville-Stonycreek at 3 p.m.

Bill Hughes In the match, Goldberg teamed with two other guys to lose a handicapped match to Roddy Piper, although Goldberg was not known as Goldberg then. Also, there may be mention in Goldberg’s book that he lost a dark match before he debuted on WCW TV, but I have never read the book so I can’t confirm. If you have, please email me and confirm that it is in there!

Thursday night at the NXT show in Orlando, Florida, Kennadi Brink made her official debut as a referee. She is WWE’s first female referee since the mid-1980s.
On this date… We go a ways back for this week’s look into the past. In 1979, WWE ran a house show at Madison Square Garden in NYC. The second match of the night was a 20-man, $10,000 battle royal where the winner would get a title shot at Bob Backlund’s WWE title later in the evening. The winner was Hussein Arab, and although you are probably wondering who that was, he would later be known in WWE as the Iron Sheik. Backland won in 30:40 after an atomic drop, but the Sheik would get the last laugh 4½ years later when he defeated Backlund to win the WWE title.
This week’s question When will Goldberg return to WWE? Ryan, Smock. My guess would be, if Goldberg is returning, that it would be one of the “Big Four” shows (Royal Rumble, WrestleMania, SummerSlam, Survivor Series. More than likely it would be at a Mania.

Another day, another sad and disgusting chapter in the Hallmark Movie life of Tiger Woods. Unless you live in the wilderness with no electricity and, obviously, no television, you’ve no doubt seen and heard the reports of how Woods was discovered sitting at the wheel of his Mercedes asleep and the engine running. There was damage to the side of his car, meaning there had been contact with something and thankfully not someone. Much more damaging, however, are the car-cam videos that were released a few days after Woods was arrested. Those showed a man obviously impaired by something, a man who couldn’t follow simple instructions from the officers, a man who thought he was in California playing golf. When asked to pronounce the letters in the alphabet, Woods thought the officer wanted him to sing the national anthem backward. He couldn’t walk a straight line and was shown at the police station having a hard time staying in a chair. No alcohol was found in his system when he did a breathalyzer test, but toxicology test showed there were plenty of prescription drugs in his body, most notably Vicodin, a very powerful pain-killer. To be clear, this column is not being written to pile on to Tiger Woods. It’s pretty obvious that if this isn’t the low point of a career that was powerful and dominating, it’s on the short list. The events of Thanksgiving 2009 were quite ugly and proved to be the beginning of Woods’ world failing apart. But now as a 41-year-old, who has had four surgeries in the same general area

Now that WrestleMania Season is farther away in the rearview mirror, WWE is in the midst of presenting two “PPV” events on the WWE network. Raw’s Extreme Rules is tonight on the WWE Network, and the card is headlined by a Fatal Fiveway match to determine the No. 1 contender for Brock Lesnar’s Universal title. Roman Reigns, Samoa Joe, Finn Balor, Bray Wyatt and Seth Rollins square off with the winner facing Lesnar at the Raw’s WWE network show in July. There are four title matches on the card. Alexa Bliss defends the Raw Women’s title against Bayley in a Kendo Stick on a Pole match, The Hardys defend the Raw tag title against Cesaro and Sheamus in a Steel Cage match, Neville defends the Cruiserweight title against Austin Aries, and Dean Ambrose defends the Intercontinental title against The Miz in a match where the title can change hands via DQ. Also on the card is a mixed gender match pitting Sasha Banks and Rich Swann against Alicia Fox and Noam Dar.
Mike Dudurich of his back, and is not even able to chip and putt, this is a darker place. A lost soul is a very appropriate tag for him. This is the time for clear thinking in terms of Tiger Woods. Pity and telling him it’s going to be OK are not appropriate emotions at this point. Neither is making jokes about Woods and his situation are also not what’s needed. The man is obviously sick and has some real issues that must be dealt with. And, that starts with him. Throughout his PGA Tour career, telling the truth has never been a high priority for him. And that’s still an issue, obviously. He recently posted a comment on his website, praising the “fusion” procedure he had done on his back recently. He said he was almost immediately pain-free and was feeling very good. Word out of south Florida was that while he wasn’t able to swing a club, even chipping or putting, he was able to walk and was doing that out on a golf course. But then Jack Nicklaus said at a press conference at the Memorial Tournament that had visited with Woods about a week before his latest incident and Woods wasn’t able to stand for longer than
10 minutes at a time. That’s a very wide discrepancy on the man’s condition. I understand being guarded with the media and he has been very much that way from the start, but flat-out putting out misinformation is something else. And this goes to the revelation following his arrest about the overload of prescription drugs found in his system. Are we really expected to believe he had no idea that these different drugs could react this badly together? What, his doctors didn’t counsel him about what could be taken together and what couldn’t? I’m sorry, I just don’t believe that. And if he started feeling strange at some point that evening, why was he still out at 3 a.m.? And doesn’t a multi-millionaire have the resources to have a driver or driver’s service on call, so that something like this doesn’t happen? I’m sorry, as usual when Tiger Woods is involved, there are things in this whole episode that don’t add up. And whether he wants to admit it, he has issues of some sort in his life that are very serious and are in urgent need of attention. And none of this has anything to do with golf. He’s a long way from getting back on a golf course and that should be the least of his concerns at this time. nnn

Police carry drug kits to save K-9s from opioid overdoses BOSTON (AP) — Police dogs simply follow their noses to sniff out narcotics. But inhaling powerful opioids can be deadly, so officers have a new tool to protect their fourlegged partners: naloxone, a drug that has already been used for years to reverse overdoses in humans. Law enforcement officers have started carrying naloxone with them on drug raids, when K-9s are often sent into houses or cars to find narcotics. Three police dogs in Florida were rushed to an animal hospital last year when they ingested fentanyl, a powerful painkiller that is often mixed with street heroin but 50 times more potent. Massachusetts State Police started carrying naloxone for their K-9s in March. Police in
Associated Press
In this photo, Massachusetts State Police Trooper Brian Cooper displays a dosage of Naloxone during a training session with his K-9 Drako in Revere, Mass. During drug raids, police dogs literally follow their noses to sniff out narcotics, but now the powerful synthetic opioid fentanyl could be deadly to the K-9s. Police have a new strategy for protecting their four-legged partners, by carrying Naloxone for their dog, the same drug to reverse heroin overdoses in humans.
Hartford, Connecticut, started in January. Even just a small
amount of powdered fentanyl can sicken police officers, so dogs
are even more at risk, said Brian Foley, deputy chief in Hartford, where
11 members of a SWAT team were sent to a hospital after they were exposed to a mix of heroin and fentanyl during a raid in September. “Dogs are not looking for drugs with their eyes and feeling with their fingers; they’re literally breathing it in and inhaling it,” Foley said. “Our officers wanted it for their dogs’ safety,” he said. “They love their dogs like family and they want to protect them. They know they’re putting them in the line of serious risk of overdose.” The drug blocks the effects of opioids and reverses overdoses with few side effects. It has long been used by doctors and ambulance crews and more recently has been handed out to police, firefighters and even to people with
addictions and their families. For both humans and dogs, naloxone can be administered through an injection or a nasal spray. Some police departments carry the nasal spray for their K-9s, while others carry the injectable form. With a prescription from a veterinarian for specific police dogs, the Food and Drug Administration says, human naloxone can be used on them. Last year, the Drug Enforcement Administration released a video warning officers a very small amount of fentanyl ingested or absorbed through the skin can be lethal. In the video, Deputy Administrator Jack Riley urged police to avoid testing suspected fentanyl in the field and to instead take it to a lab.

NEW YORK (AP) — Farewell spring and hello bathing suit season, for some an anxious time that sucks the fun out of summer. Not everybody frets over their beach bodies, celebrating instead. For others, it’s a struggle, one that Heidi Wicker in suburban Dallas knows well. But the 41-yearold mother of two has come up with emotional workarounds. “I really hated the way I look in a swimsuit. We have a pool and enjoy having friends and neighbors over during the summer,” Wicker said. “In Texas, that’s May through September.” She chooses the “most functional” swimsuit possible and consciously counts her blessings. “Bottom line is my kids aren’t going to remember how awful I looked in a swimsuit in 2017, but they will remember the fun times we had playing in the pool,” Wicker said. “This year I have a pair of swim shorts and a halter-style top that is super secure.” While Wicker said she could stand to lose 10 or 15 pounds, bathing suit stress isn’t reserved for those of us with curves or bulges we consider trouble spots. Actress and former pageant queen Priyanka Chopra dodged the “Baywatch” bathing suit bullet as the villain in the film version of the old lifeguard TV show, “but in real life,” she said recently, “we’re human beings. Our bodies change and it’s OK.” A thoughtful swimsuit fit with plenty of support can go a long way in calming beach anxiety, especially for bikini wearers.

have to look a certain way.” This year, the campaign focuses on the idea of “body talk,” challenging the way people talk about their own bodies but also other people’s. As for dealing with beach season, focusing on “what your body can do as opposed to what it looks like can make you feel so much better, whether it’s running a race or giving birth,” Maltby said. Practically speaking, trying on bathing suits takes a lot of time and energy, she said, so be mindful of who you bring along for a second opinion, or take advantage of free returns available online and go it alone. “We tend to put ourselves in boxes in terms of our ‘body types,’ or what works for us or what doesn’t, or what we’re allowed to wear or not allowed to wear.

Animal justice
This undated photo obtained by Associated Press shows Desmond, a dog that was beaten, starved and strangled in Connecticut in 2012 by his owner. Animal rights advocates, who strongly objected to the ruling, used this photo on T-shirts and posters as they pushed for better legal advocacy for abused animals.
In one state, abused creatures get a legal voice in court
Associated Press
By Pat Eaton-Robb The Associated Press
HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — Many states have victim’s advocates or child advocates, people in the judicial system who represent those affected by crime or abuse. Now, one state has created legal advocates for abused animals, an experiment being watched nationwide for signs of success. There are eight approved volunteer advocates across Connecticut — seven lawyers and a University of Connecticut law professor, working with her students. It’s up to a judge to decide whether to appoint one, but they can be requested by prosecutors or defense attorneys. In the first six months of the law, advocates have been appointed in five cases. “Every state has the problem of overburdened courts that understandably prioritize human cases over animal cases in allocating resources,” said the professor, Jessica Rubin, a specialist in animal law. “Here’s a way to help.” The American Kennel Club, though, opposed the law, saying it could result in confusion over who is responsible for an animal and limit the rights of animal owners, including in cases in which someone else is charged with the abuse. Supporters say those issues are easily handled by a judge. The law was created by the legislature and went into effect late last year. “Desmond’s Law” was named for a dog that was beaten, starved and strangled by its owner, Alex Wullaert, who admitted to the violence but avoided jail time under a probation program for first-time offenders that allowed his record to be wiped clean. UConn law student Taylor Hansen, one of the volunteer advocates, this week was the first to testify in court, with Rubin by her side, making arguments in a dogfighting case involving three pit bulls. One emaciated

dog with scars from fighting had been found wandering. The other two were found in a home filled with animal feces, rotting food and evidence of dogfighting. One animal had to be euthanized. Hansen described the abuse dogs suffered, talked of studies linking animal and human abuse, and explained why she believed the man accused of raising them to fight, 33-year-old Raabbi Ismail, of Bloomfield, should be barred from the same program Wullaert used. Judge Omar Williams listened and read through a letter
the UConn advocacy team had written. If Ismail’s record were eventually wiped clean, Hansen argued, there would be nothing to prevent him from getting back into dogfighting. Williams agreed the charges were serious. But after a 45-minute hearing, he found the crime was not on a list that would automatically prevent Ismail, who had never been arrested before, from participating

University of Connecticut law professor Jessica Rubin, left, and law student Taylor Hansen prepare to present arguments as animal advocates in a dog fighting case, Tuesday, in Superior Court in Hartford, Conn. Connecticut last year became the first in the nation to create a legal animal advocate position to represent the interests of animals in abuse cases.
in the program, known as Accelerated Rehabilitation. On Hansens’ suggestions, the judge did impose conditions that will prevent Ismail from owning, breeding
or having dogs in his home for at least the next two years. He also will have to perform 200 hours of community service, but nothing involving animals.
Outside the courthouse, Ismail declined to comment to a reporter. Rubin and Hansen said they weren’t discouraged by the outcome. “It showed the animals do have a voice,” Hansen said. “We are able to have an impact on the proceedings.” The animal advocates are an official party to the case. They can do investigative work prosecutors often don’t have time for, such as interviewing veterinarians and other witnesses. They also make arguments, write briefs and make recommendations to the judge. “It has really assisted me in doing my job,” said assistant state’s attorney Thomas O’Brien, the prosecutor in Ismail’s case. Just having the advocate in court represents a sea change in the handling of animal abuse cases, said Annie Hornish, the Connecticut director for the Humane Society of the United States. Connecticut’s experiment is being watched by other states, Hornish said. And Rubin said she has gotten inquiries from lawmakers elsewhere asking how it might be copied. A few states, including neighboring Rhode Island, allow veterinarians to advocate for animals in court, said lawyer and animal advocate Thomas Page, but only Connecticut has legal advocates. According to a legislative report, there were 3,723 animal abuse or cruelty cases charged in Connecticut between 2006 and 2016. Eighty percent were not prosecuted or were dismissed.

some of Wonder Woman’s best attributes in real life. “She has such inner strength, such an iron temperament, that she could work through anything and always keep an upbeat attitude,” Jenkins said of the actress. “She’s a pretty amazing person.” For Gadot, wearing Wonder Woman’s classic red-and-blue costume helped her feel like a superhero — especially once the outfit was retooled after she made her debut as the character in last year’s cinematic showdown between Batman and Superman. “The first time I tried the costume was for
‘Batman v Superman’ and it was tight and it was different,” she said. “This time around we did a lot of adjustments because I had to wear it for six months, six days a week, every week so I had to feel really comfortable in it and be able to perform and move and fight.” The actress was empowered by an additional six months of pre-production training that included horseback riding, swordplay and dramatic fight choreography. And even if she can’t quite see herself as Wonder Woman — a Lynda Carter for the next generation — wearing the costume brings her the closest.
UT-7116553V01
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Despite wielding the golden lasso and deflecting bullets with her bracelets on the big screen for more than a year, “Wonder Woman” star Gal Gadot still doesn’t see herself as a superhero. “I’m not there yet,” the 32-year-old actress said in a recent interview. “When I look on playback or I look at the monitor, it’s not there yet. I know it’s me. I understand everything, but I still don’t get that I’m doing this iconic character ... It’s crazy.” Gadot didn’t grow up with Wonder Woman and wasn’t a big superhero fan as a child. A former Miss Israel, she started her acting career there before making her American movie debut in 2009’s “Fast & Furious.” But she dug into stacks of comic books and the 1970s “Wonder Woman” TV show once she was cast as the Amazon princess, and quickly realized what an exceptional character she’d be playing. “On the one hand, she owns something that is usually owned by men, which is the strength and the power” Gadot said. “But she brings the feminine qualities with her, which are love and warmth and compassion. And if you bond those two worlds together, then you get a very special, beautiful, whole character.” Director Patty Jenkins said Gadot embodies

Ciudad Juarez museum tells Mexican Revolution story
Associated Press
This undated photo provided by the Mexico Tourism Board and Fideicomiso ¡Ah-Chihuahua! shows the exterior of the Museum of the Revolution in the Border in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico. The museum tells the story of the revolution, a turbulent chapter of history that lasted from 1910 to 1920 and transformed Mexican society. The museum is located 20 minutes from the U.S. border crossing in El Paso, Texas.
the United States. Still, out of the chaos came music — recorded songs depicting the suffering and separations caused by war — and art, including images of revolution that inspired Diego Rivera’s later work, as the museum explains. The exhibits, mostly in Spanish with limited English translations, give visitors enough visuals that most are self-explanatory. For example, the assassinations of Villa and Zapata are shown though photographs of mourners. The unrest led many Mexicans to cross into the U.S. New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez, the nation’s only Latina governor, for example, can trace her family’s roots back to the Mexican Revolution. Her family is descended from Toribio Ortega, a general under Pancho Villa, the governor’s brother told the El Paso Times in 2010. Some Mexican restaurants in the American Southwest display blackand-white photos of the war, with some establishments claiming their original owners are pictured in the images. But beyond the myths and legends, the Museum of the Revolution in the Border offers a foundation for learning about a turbulent chapter of history that dashed dreams of an egalitarian world across the border.
If You Go... MUSEUM OF THE REVOLUTION IN THE BORDER: Located 16 de Septiembre Avenue, corner Juarez Avenue, Ciudad Juarez. Open daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Closed on Mondays. Free.
Getting there It’s a 20-minute walk or five-minute cab ride from the Stanton Street Port of Entry in El Paso, Texas.
UT-7122075V01
CIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico (AP) — Towns along the U.S.-Mexico border often are stereotyped as enclaves for bar-hoppers, smoky factories, cheap souvenirs and long entry lines for cargo and trucks. They also are known for inexpensive tacos and a plethora of adult entertainment options. Cultural sites, in particular on the Mexican side, rarely get much attention. But within a 20-minute walk from the Stanton Street Port of Entry in El Paso, Texas, visitors to Ciudad Juarez can enjoy a different experience and get a better understanding of a moment in history that fundamentally changed Mexico and the United States. (This route also avoids the city’s dangerous neighborhoods regularly mentioned in accounts of cartel violence.) El Museo de la Revolucion en La Frontera, or the Museum of the Revolution in the Border, tells the story of the Mexican Revolution and its aftermath still felt today. The armed struggle, which lasted from 1910 to 1920, transformed Mexican society and sparked a massive migration of Mexicans to the United States that remade the demographics of cities in the American Southwest. Yes, the conflict gave rise to Pancho Villa and Emiliano Zapata as revolutionary heroes of the poor. The war also spurred new movements in art, literature, journalism, photography and radical notions of land reform that spread across Latin America. For those with only a basic knowledge of the Mexican Revolution, the museum guides visitors through the pre-revolutionary Mexico of dictator Porfirio Diaz and the intellectual movements opposing his rule. Exhibits touch upon El Plan of San Luis Potosi — a call to remove Diaz and the re-establishment of democracy — and writers speaking out against what they described as colonial rule at the expense of the poor. Newspaper accounts in the U.S. talked about the growing unrest south of the border, and the museum explains in an easy-to-understand narrative how elite to middle-class political leaders joined efforts to remove Diaz. Using photographs, old documents and clothing, the museum goes through the short presidency of reformer Francisco Madero, followed by his overthrow and assassination at the hands of Gen. Victoriano Huerta. Opposition to Huerta led to more violence as Villa in northern Mexico and Zapata in the south took up arms for their causes. The museum shows how a call for censorship resulted in a boom in journalism, with reporters covering the violence and political unrest of the day. It also led to photojournalists, like British-born Jimmy Hare, coming to Mexico to experiment with the latest camera technology to capture scenes of war. Some of those scenes ended up on postcards that became popular in

Tasty tours Associated Press
This April 28 photo shows a display of chocolates at Jacques Torres, a chocolatier in the Dumbo section of Brooklyn, N.Y. Jacques Torres is one of the stops on A Slice of Brooklyn’s chocolate tour. In addition to chocolate samples to taste, the tour offers a peek at the chocolate-making process and interesting neighborhoods along with insight into how some of the businesses got started.
Chocolate lovers not just sampling sweets By Beth J. harpaz AP Travel Editor
NEW YORK (AP) — A tour for chocolate lovers in Brooklyn, New York, isn’t just about tasting the final product. It also gives a peek at factories, neighborhoods and even business plans. The chocolate tour offered by A Slice of Brooklyn takes visitors to four chocolate-makers around Brooklyn. “I love chocolate,” said Christine Dietz of San Diego, who was treated to the tour by friends throwing her a bachelorette party in New York. “But it’s really cool that we also get a bit of a tour of the city.” But A Slice of Brooklyn’s chocolate tour is also part of a bigger trend. Confectioners and tour companies around the country are offering chocolate tours catering not just to the public’s sweet tooth, but also to consumer interest in learning where the products they eat and drink come from.
Educating consumers “Customers care about what they put in their mouths — especially millennials and GenXers,” said Pam Williams, founder of the online academy Ecole Chocolat School of Professional Chocolate Arts. “They want to know where their food comes from and how it is processed.” And while everybody knows that
wine comes from grapes, “very, very few actually understand that chocolate comes from the seeds of a tree,” said Williams, who is also co-founder of the Fine Chocolate Industry Association. Inviting customers “into the factory to see the beans and the machinery that turn those beans into chocolate is a very good way to educate consumers on fine chocolate.”
Hershey’s to hipsters The granddaddy of U.S. chocolate tours is Hershey’s Chocolate World in Hershey, Pennsylvania. It’s hosted more than 100 million guests since opening in 1973. The free tour takes guests on rides following chocolate from bean to bar, with singing cows along the way and treats at the end. But chocolate tours are offered in many other destinations around the country, from factories to visits with artisanal chocolatiers.

Statistics show that the weather forecasts people routinely make fun of have actually vastly improved By Seth Borenstein AP Science Writer

WASHINGTON (AP) — Make fun of the weatherman if you want but modern forecasts have quietly, by degrees, become much better. Meteorologists are now as good with their five-day forecasts as they were with their three-day forecasts in 2005. Forecasts are approaching the point where they get tomorrow’s high temperature right nearly 80 percent of the time. It was 66 percent 11 years ago. Better forecasts are partly the result of more observations taken in the air and oceans and better understanding of how weather works. But it’s mostly bigger and faster computers that put it together in complex computer models. The improvements are most noticeable during Atlantic hurricane season, which starts Thursday. Hurricane forecasts are about as twice as good as they were in 2005, when Hurricane Katrina struck.

Leaven for learning Students take critical thinking, creative skills to the kitchen By Olivia Goudy

When it comes to making pastries, breads and sweets, getting the recipe just right is imperative. It’s more than following directions and a decadent outcome — it’s about math, multiplication and conversions. A group of students in the Uniontown Area School District learned that first hand last week when they visited the pastry facilities at Nemacolin Woodlands Resort in Wharton Township. “When they come to these events, it opens up opportunities for them to think about learning in a different way,” said their teacher Leslie Yarish, who accompanied them on the field trip. After a brief tour of the kitchen, the students discussed the baking process with Nemacolin’s head pastry chef Scott Tennant. The students in grades 3

What Do Zoos Do?

Mini Fact: The Cincinnati Zoo sells T-shirts to raise money to help care for a baby hippo named Fiona.
The vaquita is a small porpoise that lives in the Gulf of California. Experts believe there are fewer than 30 vaquitas left in the wild. Zoos have raised $1 million to try to save the species from extinction.

Do you enjoy visiting the zoo? It’s always fun to see all the different kinds of animals there. But you may not realize that every time you buy a ticket, a T-shirt or a treat at the zoo, you could be helping animals. The Mini Page celebrates National Zoos and Aquariums Month by finding out how zoos are helping animals all over the world.
How zoos help
In the United States, more than 200 zoos, aquariums and other animal facilities are members of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA). As members, zoos are required to participate in animal conservation programs. (Conservation is the careful maintenance and protection of something valuable, especially in its natural or original state.) They do this in three different ways: • Zoos contribute about $186 million to conservation efforts going on in the wild each year. For instance, a zoo might raise money to fund researchers studying endangered animals in Asia. • Zoos and aquariums may work with local organizations to help with species survival or restoring habitats. For example, Adventure Aquarium in New Jersey is helping monitor bald eagles’ nests and record observations about their eggs and fledglings, or baby birds. • Zoos and other animal facilities also participate in educating children and adults
about preserving species. They do this through visits in schools, field trips to the zoo, and camps where kids can learn more about animals.
SAFE
The AZA created a program called SAFE, or Saving Animals From Extinction. Through SAFE, zoos work together to come up with action plans, raise money and educate visitors about species that are in trouble. The species SAFE focuses on are:
SSP programs
The AZA helps ensure that animals are around for future generations by working with zoos on almost 500 Species Surival Plan programs, or SSP programs. Through these programs, zoos care for endangered or threatened species in their facilities and support them in the wild. They also make plans for breeding and transferring animals between zoos.
• African penguin • Sharks and rays • Asian elephant • Vaquita • Black rhinoceros • Western pond • Cheetah turtle • Gorilla • Whooping crane • Sea turtle Individual zoos can also identify species for SAFE programs.
Look around
When you visit your local zoo or aquarium, keep an eye out for signs that tell you more about an animal. For instance, a sign might tell you that an animal looks great here in the zoo, but in the wild, it’s not doing so well. Think about supporting the zoo by buying products that support specific animals.

Yarish commented that that was a good thing, because he was trying something new. In the kitchen, the students thought about the importance of precisely following a recipe. Tennant explained that when you make hot foods, like soup, you typically add “a little bit of this and a little bit of that, taste it, and see what else you need.” “When making bread, though, it has to be 1.5 ounces of salt (for instance),” he said. “Too much salt kills the yeast, not enough salt will make the yeast not work, and no salt — well it won’t taste good.” The students nodded as Tennant went on to explain that with larger dessert demands, a lot of multiplication and conversions are necessary. Doubling, tripling or even quadrupling a recipe can be tricky, as can quick conversions from quarts, gallons and ounces, he said. The students also had the chance to icing and decorate their own cupcakes. The rich, fluffy white icing quickly became coated in sprinkles, chocolate shavings, mini chocolate chips and other assorted toppings. Delaney Booker took particular interest in the tour and demonstration, as she one day hopes to become a pastry chef. “This was really exciting. I enjoy making things with my family,” said Booker, who is in grade 4 at Wharton Elementary School. “It’s not only handson, but they’re using critical thinking skills,” said Yarish. ”They can really use creativity in these kinds of events, and they get to explore outside of their normal thinking and learning processes.” Yarish said the exercise appealed to all kinds of learners including auditory, visual and kinesthetic.

France warns of risk of war in cyberspace
Sitko earns scholarship
submitted photo
Geibel Catholic High School senior Abbey E. Sitko was awarded the American Legion Post 51 scholarship for her essay “Should the American Flag be Protected from Desecration?” Sitko won first place locally and placed second in a state-wide competition. She received her award during a May Day dinner at the American Legion Post 51 in Uniontown.
PARIS (AP) — Cyberspace faces an approaching risk of “permanent war” between states and criminal or extremist organizations because of increasingly destructive hacking attacks, the head of the French government’s cybersecurity agency warned Thursday. In a wide-ranging interview in his office with The Associated Press, Guillaume Poupard lamented a lack of commonly agreed rules to govern cyberspace and said: “We must work collectively, not just with two or three Western countries, but on a global scale.” “With what we see today — attacks that are criminal, from states, often for espionage or fraud but also more and more for sabotage or destruction — we are getting closer, clearly, to a state of war, a state of war that could be more complicated, probably, than those we’ve known until now,” he said. His comments echoed testimony from the head of the U.S. National Security Agency, Adm. Michael Rogers, to the Senate Armed Services Committee on May 9. Rogers spoke of “cyber effects” being used by states “to maintain the initiative just short of war” and said: “’Cyber war’ is not some future concept or cinematic spectacle, it is real and here to stay.” Poupard said “the most nightmare scenario, the point of view that Rogers expressed and which I share” would be “a sort of permanent war — between states, between states and other organizations, which can be criminal and terrorist organizations — where everyone will attack each other, without really knowing who did what. A sort of generalized chaos that could affect all of cyberspace.” Poupard is director general of the government cyber-defense agency known in France by its acronym, ANSSI. Its agents were immediately called to deal with the aftermath of a hack and massive document leak
that hit the election campaign of President Emmanuel Macron just two days before his May 7 victory. Contrary to Rogers, who said the U.S. warned France of “Russian activity” before Macron’s win, Poupard didn’t point the finger at Russia. He told the AP that ANSSI’s investigation found no trace behind the Macron hack of the notorious hacking group APT28 — identified by the U.S. government as a Russian intelligence outfit and blamed for hacks of the U.S. election campaign, anti-doping agencies and other targets. The group also is known by other names, including “Fancy Bear.” Poupard described the Macron campaign hack as “not very technological” and said: “The attack was so generic and simple that it could have been practically anyone.” Without ruling out the possibility that a state might have been involved, he said the attack’s simplicity “means that we can imagine that it was a person who did this alone. They could be in any country.” “It really could be anyone. It could even be an isolated individual,” he said. Poupard contrasted the “Macron Leaks” hack with another far more sophisticated attack that took French broadcaster TV5 Monde off the air in 2015. There, “very specific tools were used to destroy the equipment” in the attack that “resembles a lot what we call collectively APT28,” he said. “To say ‘Macron Leaks’ was APT28, I’m absolutely incapable today of doing that,” he said. “I have absolutely no element to say whether it is true or false.” Rogers, the NSA director, said in his Senate Armed Services hearing that U.S. authorities gave their French counterparts “a headsup” before the Macron documents leaked that: “’We are watching the Russians. “

Aaron Moyer of Raleigh, North Carolina, holds a crappie on his paddle. With bluegills, crappies, sunfish and other panfish so abundant and eager to bite, there’s no reason for fishing to be intimidating.

ishing can be intimidating, and that’s unfortunate. The specialized selection of flies to match seasonally-timed insects, the complex sonar devices deployed from boats, and the daunting array of all kinds of modern equipment can sometimes make fishing seem too difficult to try. I know that’s true because I’m intimidated too. I’d like to be able to go out on a big lake and catch prized deep-water gamefish, especially walleyes. But I’m deterred by the prospect of owning, registering, insuring, towing and mooring a power-boat. And I’m just not likely to teach
Ben Moyer myself to use the electronic gear you need to target fish in such places. Heck, I’m intimidated by “smart” phones. I admire and envy those who master that

realm of the angling universe but I acknowledge it’s not for me in this lifetime. In fishing, I opt for smaller streams and the shallows around lakes and ponds where I can see what’s happening, or predict what’s likely to happen, with trout, bass or that supreme equalizing force among all fish and fishermen—panfish. Panfish are wonderful, and they’re probably the reason most fishermen begin and continue fishing. You can make their pursuit difficult and technical if you want to but it’s not necessary. Panfish are not a scientifically meaningful class of fish.

had occasion to be in Pittsburgh to meet old-time friends for breakfast recently. We all grew up together in the 1940s and ‘50s. We meet once a year to reminisce about old times and share new aliments. We have all been friends for more than 70 years. While in the ‘Burgh, I decided to ride my bike over to the Strip District from Mount Washington and explore several of the bike trails that traverse the city. It was Sunday morning and the streets were nearly empty. First, I rode the portion of the Three Rivers Heritage Trail that follows the river on the Southside, crossing the Hot Metal Bridge and then into town on the other side of the river. The fountains at The Point were beautiful in the early morning light. The Strip District is also special to me since my Uncle Joe ran his produce business from this location and my Uncle Johnny was a “bookie” in the Strip. Bookies were the equivalent of today’s lottery stores and the whole system was built on trust. Johnny was a bit of a character since he also liked to drink and he only had one leg, but he made his living booking the numbers. If you were lucky odds were 600 to 1 and lots of times the winners would give Johnny a few extra

Margaret Brown
Lured back by Pyrenees Empty nesters take up where they left off on Spain’s most storied mountain trail By Michael H. Brown
N
ineteen years ago my wife, our 14-year-old daughter Cate and I set out from the little principality of Andorra in the Pyrenees mountains and headed west on the longdistance Spanish hiking route called GR 11. With optimism born of ignorance, I had bought a dozen detailed trail maps — enough to get us 200 miles closer to the Atlantic. At the end of our allotted 19 days, we had used six of the maps and covered 86 miles — kind of like Lewis and Clark getting as far as Nebraska. I wrote about that bare-bones excursion in The Washington Post’s Travel section. A lot happens in 19 years. Not, obviously, to the Pyrenees; they endure. But how about us humans? Creakier, to say the least. “Hey, how old are you, anyway?” a younger man — well, who the hell isn’t younger — asked as he breezed by us this past summer on our way up to Collata Anisclo, an 8,000-plus-foot pass in the heart of the High Pyrenees along the northern tip of Spain’s Aragon region. Daughter Cate is long gone from the nest, but this past August my wife, Margaret, and I set off on the GR 11 from the same Spanish village where we ended the trip 19 years ago. In addition to finally using those surplus maps, the two of us were going to find out to what extent we had endured. In truth, there was another, more powerful force pulling us back. The Pyrenees, that massive chain of soaring peaks separating Spain and France, offer the walker a constantly changing mix of visual pleasures. Nineteenthcentury explorer Henry Russell was downright lyrical on the subject: “It is to the Pyrenees that the smiles of the artist and the heart of the poet will always turn.” I’m neither artist nor poet, just an old newspaper hack, but in those intervening 19 years I often daydreamed about taking up where we had left off. Almost daily, the High Pyrenees trekker makes his or her way through a valley village of small stone houses, up green pastures punctuated by patches

of blue wolfsbane and streaks of cascading streams, and then up more steeply across the gray scree to a notch in a wall usually of limestone or granite but always with a top-of-the-world view. The distant peaks may be a glistening white if the sun is shining or dark, even forbidding if it is not. The whining of the wind, the whistle of a marmot and an occasional bleat from sheep somewhere in the distance are the only sounds. It is a magnificent experience, but a challenging one. Not as tall as the better known — and more heavily visited — Alps to the north, the Pyrenees nevertheless are plenty steep and rugged, especially for someone with crying knees. Mine were absolutely bawling as we inched up the almost impossible Anisclo incline — almost impossible for us but not for Franco, the speedy Italian who inquired about our age as he zipped by. Maybe it was our less-thanrapid pace — indeed, the use here of “pace” is debatable — that informed his question; no doubt Margaret’s white hair and the scarcity of mine contributed. The answer, which we gladly shared with our new and fast-disappearing acquaintance, was that I was at the tail end of my 73rd year and Margaret was early in her 72nd. The Pyrenees stretch a little over 250 miles from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean. But the GR 11 covers twice that distance as it twists and turns to find gaps and avoid summits. It’s part of Europe’s GR network of longdistance footpaths, GR for Grande Randonnee in French, Gran Recorrido in Spanish, meaning great excursion or tour. Except for one brief skip across the French border and a short section in semi-independent Andorra, the GR 11 is entirely in Spain, running from near the resort city of San Sebastian on the Atlantic to the Mediterranean
shore of Catalonia at Cap de Creus, mainland Spain’s easternmost point. The High Pyrenees, where we were, cover the trail’s 235mile middle section. Peaks there top 9,000 feet, and hikers cross a 7,000-plus-foot pass almost daily. Not to confuse things, there is also a GR along the Pyrenees’ French side — GR 10. It’s a bit longer than the Spanish version but not as rough, according to Brian Johnson, author of guidebooks on both for the British publisher Cicerone. Johnson makes two other comparisons of interest to anyone weighing the options: GR 11 is generally sunnier and drier, and spends more time above the tree line. Neither requires technical climbing know-how or equipment — just some stamina and, every now and then, free hands. On particularly steep ups and downs, I needed all four extremities and would have welcomed a fifth. Hiking poles were definitely a must. We started last summer’s trip — and ended our previous one — in Benasque, an attractive tourist village not far from Aneto and Posets, the Pyrenees’ two highest peaks. The bus ride there was itself an adventure. The first leg from Barcelona to Barbastro was uneventful. But the second into the mountains was on a narrow, sharply curving road, and as we were going up, one large, heavily loaded truck after another was coming down. That our driver and his co-pilot managed to get past each without a scratch seemed a small miracle, and that they did it in continuing good humor a large one. We picked up the GR 11 just north of Benasque, and had an easy walk up to the Refugio d’Estós, one of the route’s numerous backcountry hostels offering meals and overnight accommodations. Like the refuges scattered through the Alps, these are informal, lively establishments but
on the spartan side, which is to say you can expect to be packed away for the night on a wooden platform in a tightly spaced dormitory — a little too cozy for us claustrophobics. One fellow sufferer, a Dutch backpacker, showed me his coping strategy: Bose headphones that numbed him through the night with musical meditations. We carried a tent and used it five of our 10 nights out, our other accommodations ranging from a small hotel to a fancy parador. But when a storm threatens, as it did that first afternoon, a refuge — no matter how sardine-like — is a welcome sight. Thankfully, the storm turned out to be merely raindrops, and the next morning the sun was out in force as we headed up to our first pass, the Puerto de Chistau at 8,438 feet. As throughout the GR system, the GR 11 is blazed with red and white stripes painted on rocks and trees. Where there are no such surfaces — only loose dirt and stones, as on the approach to Chistau — there are cairns to show the way. Conquering Chistau boosted our confidence, which was promptly shaken by the descent. As with a number of passes, the terrain was rockier and steeper on the downside. But I don’t want to overemphasize the physical difficulties. We spent much of the trip tramping contentedly along forested valley paths and shaded farm tracks. Cruising down the gently sloping pasture above the deep Ordesa Canyon in the soft, late afternoon sunlight was bliss itself. The next day, we would descend to the canyon floor and into the throng of tourists attracted by this spectacular chasm. But up here, on top of the canyon walls, it was just the two of us — and sheep, literally hundreds of them. Our end-of-trip stats won’t knock you over: In 10 days we covered 77 miles. But, as they say, who’s counting? We had learned 19 years earlier about expectations and this time had none, at least not for distance. The only requirement was to end up somewhere with enough time to get back to Barcelona for our flight home. That turned out to be a resort complex five miles north of Panticosa, a mountain village with bus connections south to the major city of Huesca. Rather than mileage, our main goal was internal: to find out if we had endured sufficiently to complete a Pyrenees trek, whatever the length. Simply put, could we do it? The answer, we concluded the final night at a celebratory dinner in our hotel above Panticosa, was a resounding yes. To experience the High Pyrenees and emerge exhausted but whole — that is the very definition of success.

It’s a loosely defined catch-a term of angling slang for any number of fish that are of modest size, abundant, mostly easy to catch, excellent on a plate after catching and, as some even say, shaped like a “pan.” Around here, the popular panfish are bluegills, crappies, and any of the many related members of the sunfish family — redear sunfish, pumpkinseed, rock bass and several others. And, if you think about their body shape, they are, crudely anyway, shaped like a pan, broad and “flat.” Anyone, with the most basic gear and 30 seconds of coaching, can catch panfish. They are inquisitive and always seem hungry. Admittedly, crappies — largest and most prized of panfish — can sometimes require some finesse and special gear, but bluegills and the other sunfish are reliable targets, especially in early summer. And most anyone can get to where panfish live, which is any public lake or any farm pond where you have permission to fish. Panfish are simply the best of all reasons for beginners, families, kids, and anyone who enjoys the outdoors to fish. To catch bluegills and other panfish, impale a garden worm on about a No. 10 hook, suspend that about two feet beneath a common red-and-white bobber, and cast it out—not too far from shore— with a simple spin-cast reel on a typical casting rod, about six feet long. Notice that the text above used the word “about” many times. That was deliberate because panfishing is not an exact science. There’s room for lots of experimentation, and you’ll still catch fish. There is no reason for intimidation. To increase your already high prospect of success,
however, make that cast near some weeds, driftwood, stumps, or a dock or pier. Bluegills and other panfish like to relate to some type of physical structure within their environment. Then just wait for the bobber to dance, set the hook and catch a panfish. That’s about all there is to it. As you can imagine, kids love it, which is understandable because it’s fun for anyone. Some local lakes are excellent places to pursue panfish. Surveys done by the Fish and Boat Commission biologists identify Virgin Run Lake in Franklin Township as one of the best. “Historical data shows Virgin Run Lake has always yielded a high-quality sunfish population in terms of size of fish and number of fish,” the biologists wrote in a 2015 report. “The lake is home to an extremely abundant bass population and an exceptional sunfish population.” Dunlap Creek Lake, Greenlick Dam and Cranberry Glade Lake are other good local panfish destinations open to public fishing. To get the most enjoyment from panfish, keep a few to eat. They’re worth it. Learn to fillet them. Dozens of videos posted on the internet show the technique step-by-step. Dip the fillets in beaten egg, roll in cornmeal to coat, and fry in hot oil just a minute or so on each side to golden brown. Watch the frying fish closely. They’re easier to catch than to cook just right. For catching panfish, even a fishing license doesn’t need to be intimidating, for one day at least. July 4 is the Fish and Boat Commission’s “Fish for Free Day.” You can actually fish for trout, bass or any species on that day without a license but panfish are “entry level” fish and the opportunity seems to fit them best.

bucks which on occasion he would pass down to “little Jackie” as he used to call me. After breakfast, I rode up to 31st street and then crossed the bridge over to modern day Washington’s Landing, an island in the Allegheny River with beautiful town homes a few offices, a boat marina and a restaurant. A small trail also circles the island and offers some beautiful views of Lawrenceville and downtown Pittsburgh. The island also houses the Three Rivers Rowing Association. When I was a kid the island was known as Herr’s Island and was a meat rendering plant and stunk to high heaven. Today, it is truly one of Pittsburgh’s gems. Coming off the island, I rejoined The Heritage Trail and rode into the North Shore of Pittsburgh where you can rent kayaks and explore the city from the river’s point of view. The trail passes PNC Park as well as Heinz Field and then heads off down the Ohio River. I decided to head back to Mount Washington via the Fort Pitt and Fort Duquesne bridges, both of which have a pedestrian and bike lane protected by a concrete barrier. The bridges lead to the Duquesne Incline, and a trip to Pittsburgh isn’t complete without a ride on the Incline.

The fountain at Point State Park in Pittsburgh is a highlight of the Three Rivers Heritage Trail.
Bikes are allowed and as a senior citizen the fare is paid for by the lottery ticket sales. If Uncle Johnny could have foreseen the future, he would be proud of where all the money is going. On the way up the Incline, a few deer could be seen browsing the
hillside. Mount Washington also has many turkey and a few fox. In Fact, my son is able to archery hunt for deer and turkey at Chatham Village in Mount Washington. My ride through the city totaled 16 miles. it’s time for a nap.

Save your yard
Metro Creative Graphics

a dead lawn is not the only option By the editors of Consumer Reports
B
rown grass? The first thing you need to do is find out if it’s really dead. Here’s a test: Pull a patch of grass with roots attached, and put it in a coffee cup. Place it on a windowsill inside your house, add water and watch to see whether the grass grows. If the grass is alive, it will start to green up at the base within a couple of days, according to Frank Rossi, a turf scientist and an associate professor of horticulture at Cornell University. Here’s some advice on how to save your lawn
from Consumer Reports. n If it’s alive: Give brown grass (not dead grass) just enough water for survival. About 0.1 to 0.2 inches every two to three weeks should be enough water to keep the grass “crown” — the roots and blades at the soil line from which grass grows — alive. But it won’t green up until later in the season, when temperatures are cooler or water conditions improve. n Or give up: If the same spot goes brown season after season, it may not be because of the grass. Chronic lawn problems are often caused by the soil or a lack of light. Heavily compacted soil denies a lawn much-needed oxygen. Aerating the
soil with a core aerator will help it breathe and promote growth, no matter what you decide to plant, whether it’s a lawn or native plants and ground cover. Fall is the best time to aerate because spring is when weeds usually sprout. (Aerating then can spread weed seeds.)
Giving up on Grass Transitioning to a yard with little or no grass doesn’t mean giving up greenery. Consumer Reports offers these watersaving options. 1. Start with the design. Sketch your property as it is, noting its orientation to the sun and wind. Create zones based on watering needs: high, moderate, low and very
low, suggests Peter Estournes, co-owner of Gardenworks in Healdsburg, California, which specializes in sustainable landscaping. 2. Till the soil. Turning over the soil in lowwater zones exposes it to moisture and air. Adding organic matter, such as compost or manure, can also help soil hold in moisture, which is important to help establish new plants while using less water. 3. Go native. Local plants can often thrive with less water and may cool the air around your home as well as the lawn, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. Established plants, shrubs and trees use less water than most
common turf grasses. Consumer Reports recommends going to epa. gov/watersense and clicking “outdoor” and “landscaping tips” for low-water and native plants for your region. 4. Don’t crowd new plants. Leave enough room between plants to allow them to grow to their full size without being overcrowded, even if they look sparse at first. 5. Don’t forget mulch. Two to 3 inches of organic material per season will reduce evaporation, keeping soil moist and controlling water-thirsty weeds. It also helps fill in the spaces between new plants. To learn more, visit ConsumerReports.org.
Corporate consolidation in companion animal care a concern DEAR READERS: I am concerned that the ubiquity of pet insurance providers, aligned with the corporate consolidation of companion animal veterinary practices, could lead to overtreatment, unwarranted and costly diagnostics and exclusive promotion and sale of particular manufactured pet foods. Some critics call this a onesize-fits-all medical assembly line. I was recently solicited by a public relations firm to write about pet health insurance, the communication stating: “I’d like to offer you a story idea about the true cost of pet care. We love our pets and spare little or no cost to keep them healthy, but that can rack up quite a bill. For example, a report from Healthy Paws Pet Insurance about the cost of caring for pets shows that the most common illness for dogs and cats is stomach issues, which can lead to these costs: digital X-rays: $150 to $400; endoscopy: $800 to $1,000; biopsy: up to $1,500; ultrasound: $300 to $500; CT scan: $3,000. Total: up to $6,400 — for stomach issues!” Yet this “most common

Dr. Michael Fox
Visit veterinarymedicine. dvm360.com for veterinarians’ views on whether corporatization of their services means better or worse patient care and client satisfaction. Owners of companion animals must accept responsibility for their animals’ health with annual wellness appointments with veterinarians who embrace the principles of preventive and alternative, integrative medicine, as advocated by the American Holistic Veterinary Association. DEAR DR. FOX: My question is regarding my rescued Jindo dog, Angie, who has been in the family for 10 years now and is 12 years old. I am a very gentle and patient owner, and I let her walk me for as long as she wants. She enjoys being off the leash with her doggie friends. When frightened by lawn mowers or an aggressive dog (she was brutally attacked by two off-leash dogs), she has twice bitten me. These are serious bites, drawing lots of blood. She has no clue. I treated the wounds myself, so I would not have problems.
The vet put her on a daily dose of fluoxetine, and she has not bitten me since she has been on the medication. Why did this little Jindo girl bite me twice? — I.H., Arlington, Virginia DEAR I.H.: What you experienced was a fear-biter’s defensive behavior being redirected. Quite often, when two dogs who live together are barking at another dog on the other side of their fence, one of the two dogs may lunge at and mock-attack the companion, and in some instances actually bite and start a fight. This is also seen in cats who are upset by a cat outside. Experienced animal handlers are aware of such redirected or “spill-over” aggression and take precautions when a situation could arise where redirected aggression may be triggered. It is not rational behavior, and in that panicked state, the animal cannot be reasoned with until he or she calms down. The medication your veterinarian prescribed essentially dampens the panic reaction, which is more likely to occur in animals suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder and specific phobias.

Going far from the nest is expensive proposition for parents Dear Annie: I am a 21-yearold soon-to-be senior in college applying to law school. I have almost a 4.0 and quite the resume, so I am sure I will be admitted into a decent school. I was planning on attending an in-state school here in Nebraska, but as I continue to search, I am starting to think it might not be a bad idea to check out a few schools in other states. My parents are supportive of my going to law school, but when I bring up the topic of visiting out-ofstate schools, they completely shut down the idea of my ever leaving Nebraska. I understand where they are coming from. My brother chose to go out of
a lot through the process. I really do consider myself to be a pretty practical young person. I chose an affordable, close-to-home college to appease my parents, and I’ve never insisted on studying abroad or going on any lavish spring break trips, unlike many of my peers. I am aware that I would probably be offered a better scholarship if I were to stay in Nebraska, and I know it would be much easier to stay in the state, as opposed to moving across the country. Still, I don’t state for law school, and it was think it would be such a horan expensive, challenging exrible idea to explore my opperience for my whole family. tions, as choosing a law school However, he got a great eduis a major decision. cation and matured and learned This has been a recurring

Last summer, I was chosen for an internship with Congress in Washington, and just as I predicted, my parents made abundantly clear how expensive it would be to move for the summer and how difficult it would be for me if I accepted the offer. So of course, I had to turn down the opportunity, working instead at a minimum wage job in my hometown. I know money is important, but I really feel that they focus too much on money and “practicality’’ and would much rather crush my dreams than help support my career goals.

Covered-up chic
Big brands taking to modest fashion LONDON (AP) — When Ruba Zai uploaded her first video online, the Netherlandsbased Afghan student just wanted to share with other Muslim girls and women how she styled her headscarf. She had no idea that her “hijab tutorials” would be an internet hit, watched by hundreds of thousands worldwide. The 23-year-old now blogs full time, sharing ideas for how to look trendy yet covered-up with a million Instagram followers. Zai had tapped into a fast-growing market for socalled “modest fashion,” fuelled by young, style-savvy Muslim women from London to Malaysia who have long felt their needs ignored by mainstream designers. “I just couldn’t relate at all to the clothes you see in the mainstream brands,” she said from her home in Rotterdam. “When we first started talking about our style on social media, there was no interest in the fashion world in this group of people: ‘They’re just Muslims. Why should we target them?’” Big brands have been waking up to that call, and covered-up chic is a niche that’s slowly making its way into mainstream fashion. From exclusive designers to fast-fashion chains, retailers are trying to court millions of Muslim consumers — especially around the month of Ramadan, which started last week, when many Muslims buy new clothes and dress up. In 2014, U.S. fashion house DKNY was one of the first Western brands to launch a Ramadan collection aimed at wealthy Arab shoppers. Since then several others have followed suit. Dolce&Gabbana has been selling a luxury collection of abayas — long, loose robe-like dresses — and matching headscarves since 2016 in the Middle East, Paris and London. At the more affordable end of the market, Spanish chain Mango is also promoting a Ramadan collection of tunics, kaftans and maxi dresses for the second year.
A staff member poses for a picture at the aab boutiq store at Upton Park, in London, Monday. “Mainstream fashion is now talking about modest fashion as a thing. While the majority of those interested in covered-up fashion are young, cosmopolitan Muslim women, “the term ‘modesty’ emerged in the niche market as a useful one because it’s not faith-specific,” Lewis added. Associated Press
Earlier this year Nike became the first major brand to launch a “pro hijab,” a headscarf made in high-tech fabrics aimed at female Muslim athletes. Even Marks and Spencer, that stalwart British department store known for cardigans and practical shoes, launched a
most prestigious events. “Mainstream fashion is now talking about modest fashion as a thing. Ten years ago, if you were a brand (that came) from a religious background and tried to sell it in a department store, calling it a modest or Muslim brand would be a kiss
“I know Christians and atheist friends who don’t cover their heads but they dress this way because that’s how they feel most comfortable, said Zai, the blogger. Nazmin Alim, a designer who founded her own Londonbased modest fashion business a decade ago, says she used to have to buy fabric herself and visit a tailor to get smart work wear that still adhered to her faith’s modesty edicts. “Long skirts may have a slit, tops may be sleeveless,” she said. “We understood then that, do you know what? The people who wanted this kind of clothing, they are hungry for it.” — Reina Lewis, professor, This month, Alim’s collection of trendy jumpsuits, kimonos London College of Fashion and knee-length hoodies — as burkini — a full-body swimsuit of death,” said Reina Lewis, a well as more traditional abayas — last summer. professor at the London College and headscarves — is being But perhaps the most of Fashion who has written two sold at Debenhams, a British visible sign yet that mainbooks about the topic. department store that says it’s stream fashion is embracing While the majority of those the first of its competitors to the Muslim market was when interested in covered-up add hijabs to its aisles. design houses Max Mara and fashion are young, cosmopolitan The fashion industry’s atAlberta Ferretti starred hijabMuslim women, “the term tempts at carving a corner wearing Somali-American ‘modesty’ emerged in the niche of this market haven’t been model Halima Aden on their market as a useful one because without criticism, especially in catwalks for Milan Fashion it’s not faith-specific,” Lewis France, where the banning of Week, one of the industry’s added. headscarves and burkinis amid

Shriver is ‘single, ready to mingle’ after divorce By Emily Heil
The Washington Post
Looking for love: Maria Shriver, following her 2011 split from former California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. Of course, the call-me-maybe Shriver confession came on the “Today” show, where Shriver, 61, was co-hosting on Wednesday, and oversharing is always welcome. Shriver, an NBC special anchor, was gabbing with her co-hosts about a recent lunch with “CBS This Morning” host Gayle King. Among the
topics they discussed, Shriver said, “how we’re both single, how we’re both looking.” Predictably, the panel was intrigued. “Single and ready to mingle!” was Carson Daly’s pronouncement. “I’ll have to flip through my phone, see what I can do,” he said. Ever the astute observer, Matt Lauer weighed in. “You’re going to get some lunch dates out of this,” he predicted. Schwarzenegger, 69, has moved on, too — or at least he’s staying busy. The former governor, who admitted fathering a child with his and Shriver’s housekeeper, has taken up redistricting reform as his cause — and of course, there’s that longrunning feud he and President Donald Trump are engaged in.
racial tensions and security fears have fuelled a heated debate. Laurence Rossignol, the former French minister for families, children and women, was reported saying last year that major brands that promote Islamic dress were “irresponsible” and that such garments “promote the confinement of women’s bodies.” Zai, Alim and others say, however, that for women like them, it’s all about respecting individual choice. “We all make choices — some people like to wear gothic, some people like what we’re offering,” Alim said. “I don’t see why anyone’s style should be singled out.” “I try to stay away from the political debate,” said Zai, who said she decided to cover her head three years ago after a period of religious reflection. “I don’t think a group of men — the people you see (in government) are all these old men — can tell people what’s allowed, what’s not allowed. They’re saying Muslim women are oppressed, but they’re doing the same.”
