fighting for five years to close dumping operations, her battle with the coal industry ended. She said she sees no purpose in putting her time into a lawsuit that could not reverse her sickness, even if the cause could be definitively tied to fly ash.

“I stopped. I give up,” she said.

Ron Dellarose, who lives at one of the highest points of the Fayette County patch town, said he believes he got lucky in avoiding health problems.

Throughout the years, he has observed his friends and neighbors contracting cancer at high rates. Some died.

His son and daughterin-law moved with their small children over concerns they may develop health problems.

“They stopped dumping, but people are already sick. What are you gonna do?” he said.

“You can tell how bad coal ash is, and I believe it’s caused all these problems with these people.”

According to the suit filed by attorney William Steven Berman of Washington, coal ash contains high levels of toxic heavy metals including arsenic and lead which can cause or contribute to health problems. The suit was filed in federal court against First Energy Corp., NRG Energy Inc. and MCC. Residents said even after waste disposal stopped, fly ash continues to blow

through the town and pollute the water.

Daria Harvey said she first began wondering about problems with the coal site when she observed fly ash coating

her property.

“It first came to my attention when it was covering the paper box,” she said. “I said, ‘What on earth is this in the corner?’”

She pointed to damaged siding, cracked roofing and outdoor furniture stained and pitted with a sooty substance.

“You can’t just wipe it

off. It pits everything.

I need new siding. The roofing is cracked,” she said.

Her troubles increased when her son developed serious

health problems seven years ago at age 40. He underwent surgery to implant a pacemaker.

She said he was also diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or COPD. Taking care of her son through his illness keeps her busy, as she also works to maintain her own health. She said she and her son both have diabetes, and she has a history of blood clots.

Harvey said she would be happy to receive payouts to repair her damaged property and cover medical costs, but money cannot reverse their health conditions.

“Nothing is fair enough when you lose your health,” she said.

“What dollar amount is enough when you’re not healthy?”

Trump heads into Four deer die after jumping from Meyersdale bridge week with budget, health care battles WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump heads into one of his most challenging weeks, juggling a renewed health care push and a looming budget deadline, and readying for a potential showdown with Democrats over paying for a border wall.

The symbolic 100-day mark for the administration is Saturday — the same day government could shut down without a budget deal. Trump has announced a rally in Pennsylvania that day.

Aides stressed on Sunday talk shows that funding a wall along the U.S.-Mexican border and a vote on an effort to repeal and replace President Barack Obama’s health care law were priorities. But they also expressed optimism that a shutdown could be avoided.

“I don’t think anyone foresees or expects or would want a shutdown,” said budget director Mick Mulvaney on “Fox News Sunday.”

Trump would like to revive a failed effort

by House Republicans to replace the Affordable Care Act, or “Obamacare.”

He also hopes to use a $1 trillion catchall spending bill to salvage victories on his promised U.S.-Mexico border wall, a multibillion-dollar down payment on a Pentagon buildup, and perhaps a crackdown on cities that refuse to cooperate with immigration

enforcement by federal authorities.

But so far, negotiations have proven difficult, with disputes over the border wall and health law subsidies to help low-income people afford health insurance.

House members received little information from leaders on a conference call Saturday.

A one- or two-week extension might be needed to prevent a shutdown.

White House chief of staff Reince Priebus said on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that he believes the spending bill will include “something satisfactory” to reflect Trump’s desire to build a wall. The legislation would keep the government running through Sept. 30, the end of the budget year.

“We expect the priorities of the president to be reflected,” Priebus said, citing ongoing talks with the House and the Senate. He added that “it’ll be enough ... to move forward either with construction or the planning, enough for us to move forward through the end of September, to get going on the border wall and border security.”

House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi of California described a border wall as “immoral” and “expensive” when asked if there was any scenario in which Democrats will agree to money for a wall to avoid a shutdown.

MEYERSDALE, Pa. (AP) — State game commission officials are investigating the deaths of four deer that jumped from a new bridge in Meyersdale.

The (Somerset) Daily American reports that the bucks fell to their

deaths from a bridge being built for the new section of Route 219 near Meyersdale in Summit Township.

engineering, construction, operation and maintenance for a service previously provided by the government.

Trillium is spending $84.5 million to design, build, finance, operate and maintain the 29 stations for 20 years under a P-3 contract with PennDOT. The stations will be built over five years, Gov. Tom Wolf said.

“This innovative P-3 is allowing us to help transit agencies save money and take advantage of plentiful supplies of natural gas produced right here in Pennsylvania,” Wolf said. “We applaud Trillium for reaching this first milestone and look forward to continued progress on this initiative.”

Saccone previously introduced a bill in January 2015 to change the law, but it did not pass the House.

No deal Democrats should balk at paying for wall Remember how President Donald Trump was going to construct a wall along the border between the United States and Mexico — paid for by Mexico?

There’s been a change of plans. Now Trump wants the Democrats to put up the cash.

All right; that’s a slight exaggeration.

What’s actually happening is that the government’s current spending authority runs out April 29. Without a new bill, the country could face a partial shutdown of federal agencies. No one, Trump included, wants that, and the two parties are negotiating a deal to avoid it. However, his budget director, Mick Mulvaney, threw a wrench into the talks Thursday by declaring that the final deal should include money for Trump’s wall.

Yes, Mulvaney said, Democrats “don’t like the wall, but they lost the election.

And the president should, I think, at least have the opportunity to fund one of his highest priorities in the first funding bill under his administration.” A down payment on the wall might be the White House’s price for agreeing to the Democrats’ own priority: a key health-care subsidy for low-income consumers.

Republicans do not have the necessary 60 votes for passage of any spending deal in the Senate, which gives the Democrats leverage despite their minority status in both houses. They would be crazy to capitulate, and not only because the politics of the issue favor them. (Sixty-two percent of the public opposes building a wall along the entire border, according to a Pew Research poll.) As a policy matter, the wall is a foolish and wasteful enterprise, one whose legitimate purposes — stopping unauthorized immigration and drug smuggling — could be achieved at far lower cost through other means. In the unlikely event that this pharaonic enterprise ever did get completed, it would stand as a monument to the xenophobia Trump tapped to get elected. The sooner he can be forced to abandon it, the better.

Democrats are in the right on the health-care issue as well. At issue are billions of dollars to help lower-income health insurance exchange customers afford out-of-pocket expenses, money that the Obama administration provided but that the Republicans insist was not properly appropriated; they have a lawsuit pending on that point. Ideally, the Republicans would be abandoning that fight and engaging the Democrats in a genuinely constructive update of Obamacare, not the “repeal-and-replace” exercise they have been pursuing, without success, due to their own internal divisions. Intra-GOP talks are ongoing, with Trump suggesting that a compromise might be ready for a vote in the House next week. “The plan gets better and better and better,” Trump said, which is the opposite of the truth: Leaked versions of the bill would, under certain circumstances, allow states to let insurance companies sell policies that people with preexisting conditions could not afford.

April 29 also marks the 100th day of Trump’s presidency; he may be trying to conjure some sort of legislative victory before then, or at least put up a convincing show of trying. What he’s mainly demonstrating, though, are the reasons his accomplishments so far have been so paltry: His vaunted negotiating skills have delivered little, and his priorities have been misguided.

Washington Post

Friendly tips for President Trump Dear Mr. President.

I have some more friendly but important advice for you.

It’s not about your itchy twitter finger or your golf game.

I’ll take the great Ernie Els’ word for it that you don’t need any golf tips from me.

After Els played a round with you at Trump National Golf Club in Florida earlier this year, he said you were “a proper golfer” who “swings the golf club properly and hits iron shots properly.”

My advice is purely political and it’s based on several decades of watching and working with my father.

If you want to achieve two of the most important goals of your new administration — genuine healthcare reform and real tax reform — you’ve got to understand and appreciate what my father knew instinctively: In presidential politics, perception is more important than reality.

I saw my father put that simple truth into practice back during an international crisis in 1985.

He and Nancy were planning to leave the White House in June to spend a few days at

Rancho del Cielo, his ranch near Santa Barbara.

But on June 14 a group of Lebanese terrorists with guns and grenades hijacked a TWA flight from Athens to Rome and forced it to land in Beirut.

While the world watched the news reports, the plane flew around the Middle East for three days.

The terrorists beat passengers and threatened to kill them unless the Israeli government released about 700 Shiite prisoners.

The hostages were released over the next two weeks, but an American, Navy diver Robert Stethem, was shot in the head and his body was dumped on

the runway.

My father could have flown out to California as he planned.

His ranch was the Western White House and it had the same set up as his office in Washington.

The reality was that he could go there, monitor the TWAhijacking situation and also relax by cutting brush or riding his horse.

But the perception to the world would have been that he had gone on vacation while an American plane was being hijacked and dozens of innocent people were at risk.

He decided it’d be better for him politically to stay in the White House and monitor the situation from there. He understood reality vs. perception.

Mr. President, I offer this advicebecause of two things your administration has done wrong recently — not making the White House visitor logs available to the media and not showing the public your income tax returns.

The reality is that the law backs you up on both cases, but the perception is you are hiding something.

What’s worse, you are allowing the news media to keep

the

pushing that perception out to the public.

The liberal media are going to be against everything you do from now until the end of your second term, but you don’t have to write their articles for them.

If you keep allowing bad publicity on the issues of the White House logs and your tax returns to get in the way of your agenda, you’re going to be hard-pressed to get tax reform or anything else you want through Congress.

If I were your chief of staff, I’d have told you it was horrible politics to shut off the White House logs to the public.

If you must do it, do it later after you’ve passed health care reform or tax reform.

The reality is, you won’t get your tax policy through until people stop perceiving you are hiding something in your taxes.

The only way that’ll happen is if you release them ASAP. It’s not about the law, Mr. President. It’s not about reality. It’s all about perception.

And that’s something you can learn from my father — and from me.

Michael Reagan the son of President Ronald Reagan, is a political consultant.

The shoe is on the other foot now My vote for the toughest job in America is a Congressional Republican who holds a town hall meeting. Those things are getting downright nasty. By nasty, I mean, Republicans are encountering the kinds of vicious, verbal backlash that Democrats faced eight years ago — but far worse.

Of course, there are some Republicans, led by President Trump, who’re convinced the loud protesters at town halls are getting paid. There’s not a lick of evidence to support that nonsense. No more than the irate Republicans who flooded Democratic town halls nearly a decade ago were only disrupting them for a price.

Republicans just aren’t accepting the fact that now, the shoe is on the other foot.

Consider the case of South Carolina’s Rep. Joe Wilson.

Wilson made mighty big headlines back in September of 2009. President Obama was addressing a joint session of Congress rolling out his plans to reform healthcare, when Wilson shouted, “You lie” from the seats. It was a remark that reverberated through the halls of Congress and into the homes of a national TV audience that night.

Wilson went back home and held a town hall meeting two weeks ago. Ironically, when he mentioned that Obama’s

Al Owens healthcare law is resulting in people losing their services, his constituents erupted into chants of (you guessed it) “You lie!”

The folks in the room were fully aware of the fact that the failed Republican plan that would have repealed and replaced Obamacare may have left them with less healthcare coverage than they already have.

Wilson certainly isn’t alone in having town hall meetings filled to the rafters with irate Democrats and Republicans.

One California congressman, Doug LaMalfa, was booed so loudly during his town hall meeting last week, that when he started his presentation about healthcare, he simply walked off stage.

He returned, though, and had to put up with more boos.

He later told a newspaper that the event went “as good as can

be expected.”

Texas Rep. Joe Barton got so upset about the rowdy participants at his town hall, that he yelled “Shut up.”

Whether it’s healthcare, Donald Trump’s refusal to release his taxes, or his fixation with Twitter, Republican town hall meetings have no shortage of hot topics and heated discussions about them.

There are even some Republicans who’re openly sharing their misgivings about Trump and his antics when they face their constituents. Rather than to blindly defend him, some are starting to fend for their own political lives.

“When Iowa’s Republican Sen. Joni Ernst (a rising GOP star) was asked about Trump’s past statements about women, and a disabled reporter, she didn’t flinch. “I think that we have a president that has a number of flaws,” she bluntly replied.

Ernst added more. When asked about Trump’s frequent weekend trips to his Mar-aLago hotel, Ernst indicated that he’d be better off staying in Washington. She’s joined several Republicans who’ve expressed their less-thancomplete support for Trump.

There’ve already been a handful of his fellow Republicans who’ve openly expressed their displeasure

with his frequent, ill-natured tweets. The tweets continue as if Trump can’t help himself.

Some congressional Republicans have become apprehensive about holding town hall meetings. They’re opting to hold them online, in the safety of their computers.

Perhaps Arizona’s Senator Jeff Flake should have thought of that. He recently held a 2½-half hour town hall meeting in Mesa, Arizona. It didn’t go well.

Flake was frequently interrupted by the chants of “Shame on you” and “Do your job.”

If he didn’t know it before that day, he now knows, that at least some of the people who voted for him, and many who didn’t, are feeling less than pleased with Republicans in Congress, and the Republican president.

And for Flake, a staunch conservative, that loud rebuke must’ve stung. According to a 2014 study, Mesa, Arizona is the most conservative city in the country, with a population of 250,000 or more residents.

If Flake can’t feel at home — at home — he’s heading for a stiff headwind, and he surely knows that.

Opinion

What does a ‘good death’ mean these days?

My wife was very ill; 10 years earlier she had been diagnosed with Stage 3 breast cancer.

She underwent a double mastectomy, chemo and radiation treatment. Miraculously, she survived.

Now, she was sick again; we weren’t exactly sure what was wrong. For months and months she had suffered debilitating pain. Following an X-ray one of her several doctors diagnosed spinal stenosis; he injected Barbara with medications to ease the pain; the injections didn’t work. Still, the idea that the cancer had returned never entered my mind.

It had been a long, hard six months or so, and Barbara was in the hospital. We thought she was confused, which in a way she was. She was vague about most things, not deliberately so but as a result of being sick — doctors discovered that her liver wasn’t working, wasn’t releasing the ammonia it produces, and when that happens, we were told, confusion ensues.

But she was clear about one thing: she wanted out of the hospital; she wanted to return home, to the familiar comfort of her

Richard Robbins couch. She said so, time and again. I told her no; the doctors had more tests to run, I said.

She insisted; she didn’t care about the tests; I resisted. Barbara never did come home. Several weeks ago we spread her ashes in a leafy mountain glade intersected with ponds and a small creek.

More and more I think she was right. She wanted out of the hospital; she wanted no more testing and probing; she wanted to be home.

In a new book, Extreme Measures: Finding A Better Path To The End Of Life, the author, Dr. Jessica Nutik Zitter, a physician trained both in the heroics of death-bed

medical miracles and the emerging field of palliative care, argues that instead of “conveyor-belt death” (a patient at times strapped to a hospital bed and administered a seemingly endless number of life-extending medical procedures in the ICU), it is possible to experience a “good death.”

She explained a “good death” involves giving the patient as much medical control as nature allows; death with a minimum of tubes and pain; death surrounded by family and friends and the things one loves.

I don’t know about the “good death” concept: I’m not sure any death — even a sudden one — is truly good. I suspect at the end even 90-year-olds are left to wonder about the brevity of life. For that matter, what terrors race through the mind of a 20-year-old seconds away from earthly oblivion?

But it is possible, I suppose, to lessen the discomfort and the cold institutional rigmarole that is part and parcel of end-oflife medicine. Dr. Zitter’s proverbial conveyor belt is a hellish amalgam of good intentions and the best of

medical science, all conspiring to keep the heart beating while the rest of the body is shutting down.

According to Zitter, intensive care has its place.

Lives can be saved; some patients, especially the young and otherwise healthy, can emerge to lead full productive lives.

But for older patients laced with cancer, for instance, an ICU is probably not the place to be.

The good doctor is a convert, therefore a fervent advocate. Growing up in a family of doctors, she dreamed of becoming a physician herself. A doctor, her faith teaches, was God’s healing agent.

“Judaism venerates the practice of medicine,” Zitter writes. “The Torah glorifies the eradication of disease and the sanctity of life.”

She became a pulmonary and critical care specialist. Then she “performed a chest compression on a dead person” because that’s the way things were done; it was procedure. Dr. Zitter was horrified. There had to be something better, she thought.

She became a palliative care specialist.

patients, families — everyone in medicine and the medical community — all play a role. “We all work within a system,” Zitter writes, “that does not readily support” any other goal or mindset.

Barbara was never admitted to the ICU. The cancer spread rapidly, even though we didn’t receive a more or less definitive diagnosis until close to the end, as mindboggling as that sounds.

If given a chance, I’m sure Barbara, who wanted to live, who wanted to be around for our grandchildren, for our daughter, for all things that make life worth living, would have chosen to die at our little house in Hopwood.

Maybe that was what she was trying to tell me all those times in the hospital when, with increasing urgency, she begged me to take her home.

To many in the medical community, palliative care was weak, unheroic, she says; a palliative care specialist manages suffering “whether physical, emotional, familial or spiritual.”

Pretty flabby stuff, especially when compared to most other medical specialties.

In her earlier role, Zitter says she “never even considered that a dying person might choose comfort as his priority and thus a protocol to descalate the life-prolonging treatments that we steadily heaped on.”

Emerging from the polio epidemics of the 1930s and ’40s, ICUs became magnets for our imaginations and fantasies about the conquest of death. But “our infatuation,” Zitter writes, “caused us to use them indiscriminately.”

If machines could save the lives of young polio victims and wounded soldiers, “why not try them on everyone who is dying? And so we did. In the name of hope, heroism and the American way.”

The mantra of the ICU, according to Dr. Zitter, is “keep the patient alive at all costs.” Doctors,

Richard Robbins lives in Uniontown and is the author of two books — “Grand Salute: Stories of the World War II Generation’’ and “Our People.’’

Opinions from the past

Food stamps got their start in Fayette This Week’s Question Local editorials from 50 years ago are being reprinted every Monday and Tuesday in this column. This editorial appeared in the Evening Standard, a predecessor of the Herald-Standard, on April 25, 1967.

When the federal food stamp program started in Fayette County on June 1, 1961, it was one of eight localities in the nation where the pilot program was being processed. The government said that experience gained by the U.S. Agriculture Department in operating the pilot plans would be used in determining if the program should be extended to other areas.

The other “seven localities were Illinois, Kentucky, Detroit, Montana, Minnesota, New Mexico and West Virginia. All areas were selected due to the high rate of unemployment and the high percentage of public assistance recipients.

At the time there were 22,000 people on the public assistance rolls in Fayette County when the Food Stamp plan began. This included 7,000 households.

During that first month in June 1961, Mrs. Ruth Grigg Horting, the state secretary of welfare, estimated that more than $400,000 worth of stamps were issued in Fayette County. These were either free or paid for by the recipient. Every year it seems, the federal food stamp program is up for renewal. We hope it is renewed.

For since that first month of trial in June 1961, the Food Stamp program has won wide acceptance. Low-income families participating in the program have better diets.

It has placed new money into the county’s economy.

A family of two can buy about $3 in stamps. This ratio is not the same everywhere. It depends on the size of

the family and the amount of money per month coming to the family. In an average month Fayette County Food Stamp recipients pay out about $180,000 and receive $270,000 in stamps. The $90,000 is the amount of money contributed by the government.

The Food Stamp idea does have drawbacks. For one, it is the government deciding what each family should spend on food.

But it also has virtues. One is the use of the nation’s private and highly efficient food distribution system.

Compared with the scandal-scarred handouts of surplus commodities and other federal welfare schemes, the Food Stamp plan has worked smoothly. There have been some misuses of the program but these have been few.

Instead of the government charging into the program with its usual brash bureaucratic enthusiasm, a test program was held first: Government officials were alert constantly for waste and illegal abuses.

There was no crash basis for the program either as we have seen in many of the wasteful and extravagant Great Society program ideas. The government carefully experimented. There were no press release claims of giant accomplishments.

It’s an approach that should be tried by some of the newer federal giveaway programs. Too many times, a multi-million dollar program from any government agency means waste, fraud and mismanagement.

Food Stamps still draw criticism, but with the plan now covering two million people in 41 states it seems to have become a permanent fixture.

It’s a welfare program to help low-income families and it is working well.

Commentary

President Trump has no clue what he’s doing

By James Sloan

Everyone knows the guy that gets off work and stops at two or three bars on the way home.

The guy that sits in the barroom and tells anyone that will listen about how strong he is; how all the ladies love him and let him get away with everything.

He talks about how stupid his boss is and how, if he were in charge, everything would be great. He tells everyone how smart he is and how he would teach everyone that disagrees with him a lesson. We all know that guy. When confronted, our barroom braggart denies everything or blames it on someone

else; like the coward he really is.

We all know that guy is just like our president. The actions so far taken by Donald Trump show just how much he and our barroom braggart are alike. He just showed the world how stupid and inept at military tactics he really is.

Trump’s first military endeavor came as he sat at his resort in Florida surrounded by resort guests, his son-in-law Jared and his anti-Semitic buddy Steve. Over dinner, on a whim to show his resort guests how powerful he is, Commander-in-Chief Donald Trump sent a Seal Team into Yemen to target Al Qaeda leader Qasim al-Raymi.

When the raid was over, we had killed 23 women and children, 14 Al Qaeda fighters got a box full of old training films and no Qasim. America lost an American hero, Chief Petty Officer William Ryan Owens, with three Seal team members wounded and a $70 million V22 Osprey lost and destroyed. It was all because Donald Trump wanted to impress his friends.

Yes to impress his friends; nothing else. For that show of carelessness and ego, he should be impeached.

This week, the commanderin-chief once again proved he is not up to the job. After seeing the destruction caused by a gas

attack in Syria, Donald Trump ordered an attack on a Syrian air base.

After telling the American public that he would not say when, where or what his military action would be, our barroom bully secretly called his Russian friend Putin, to let him know in advance the where, when and how of the attack, so he could get his people and equipment out of harm’s way.

Sixty Tomahawk missiles, at a cost of $3.5 million a pop, and the next day, Syria is flying planes out of the air field. This is not military leadership; this is a spoiled child playing with the lives of American servicemen

and women.

During his campaign, Trump said our generals were all stupid fools and thirty days into office, he would implement his own top secret plan to get rid of ISIS, a great plan that will eliminate ISIS forever. Where is the ISIS plan Trump said he had?

Did Donald just say that or was that just more manure to shovel onto the snarling base like everything else he says. If what Donald Trump has done so far is any indication of his military leadership, ISIS will be on our doorstep by this time next year.

Police

UNIONTOWN

Man sought State police say that Brandon Marcel Crable, 27, of Uniontown, was found to be in possession of drugs and paraphernalia at a traffic stop in Uniontown on Feb. 11. Police report that Crable fled the scene due to an active parole warrant, and has been charged with prohibited possession of a firearm, possession of marijuana, possession of paraphernalia, flight to avoid apprehension, and escape.

Anyone with information regarding Crable’s whereabouts should call PSP Uniontown at 724-439-7111.

Police ambush killer’s strategy to avoid death: Blame Dad MILFORD, Pa. (AP) — As Eric Frein tries to avoid death row for ambushing two Pennsylvania State Police troopers at their barracks, defense lawyers are suggesting they intend to raise questions about his father’s influence on the gunman, a college dropout and ne’erdo-well who lived with his parents into his 30s.

Frein was convicted last week of all 12 counts against him in the 2014 attack that killed 38-yearold Cpl. Bryon Dickson, a married father of two and trooper-of-the-year nominee, and left Trooper Alex Douglass with debilitating injuries.

Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty against Frein, 33, who they say targeted state police because he was trying to foment an uprising against the government.

Frein’s lawyers want the jury to sentence him to life without parole.

The penalty phase opened with Dickson’s widow giving emotional testimony about her family’s loss, and Douglass telling jurors he might lose his lower leg to amputation. The jury learned about Dickson’s passion for getting drunken drivers off the road.

The defense has comparatively little to work with as they try to persuade jurors to spare Frein’s life.

Their case, which begins in earnest on Monday, will partly focus on the killer’s relationship with his father, Eugene Michael Frein, a retired Army major.

Defense lawyer William Ruzzo said Eric Frein tried to emulate his dad but didn’t measure up.

Ruzzo made clear that Frein’s father did not incite his son to violence against police. What Eric Frein really needed was discipline and a good talking-to about how he was wasting his life, the lawyer said.

“Someone, somewhere should’ve had that talk with him,” he said. “Does that diminish Eric’s responsibility? No, absolutely not.”

The state Superior Court upheld the decision of a Fayette County judge in the appeal denial of a Brownsville man convicted of third-degree murder.

Last week in an opinion written by Superior Court Judge Correale F. Stevens, the appeal of Jonathan Keith Godines, 40, was denied as Godines stated his attorneys were ineffective in his trial for not finding a forensic expert to testify on his behalf.

Godines is serving 20 to 40 years in prison in the death of John Eicholtz. The men got into a fight in Brownsville over Eicholtz allegedly buying Godines’ girlfriend cigarettes and prescription drugs in 2011.

Video evidence showed Godines kicking Eicholtz in the head. Eicholtz was taken to the hospital and treated for a stroke.

Three weeks later, he died from pneumonia, a complication that developed in the hospital.

In October, Fayette County President Judge John F. Wagner Jr. denied Godines’ appeal as he claimed that his two trial attorneys failed to find a forensic

pathologist to testify as to the cause of death of Eicholtz to rebut the testimony of the commonwealth’s expert.

Stevens, however, writes that because Godines’ attorneys used the testimony of Dr. Maxim Hammer, the neurologist who treated Eicholtz, to rebut the commonwealth’s expert.

Godines, writes Stevens, admitted that Hammer’s testimony was consistent with the report of a forensic pathologist Godines found to review the existing medical records pertaining to the murder.

Stevens affirmed Wagner’s decision that Godines’ attorneys choice to use Hammer as a defense expert was eminently reasonable and in their client’s best interest.

Stevens also agreed with Wagner’s order that Godines’ appeal had no weight because having someone other than Hammer testify just because they have the title of a forensic pathologist would made the outcome of the trial any different.

Stevens writes in his conclusion that Godines failed to show how his trial attorneys were ineffective and upheld the appeal court’s decision to deny the appeal.

Godines remains lodged in State Correctional Institute at Greene.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Authorities in western Pennsylvania say a smoky fire destroyed a row of three vacant buildings in Pittsburgh, but no injuries were reported.

The city’s public safety department said the blaze in the Mount Washington neighborhood was reported at about 12:30 p.m.

Sunday.

More than 75 firefighters were called to battle the flames. Public safety spokeswoman Sonya Toler said told residents to keep doors and windows closed “because there’s so much smoke.”

Long-term use of antihistamines to treat insomnia is not advised Dear Doctor: I’m leery of sleep drugs, so I’ve been taking Benadryl to help me sleep. Now I read that it should be taken only for a limited time. What’s the story on this drug?

Dear Reader: Diphenhydramine HCL, or Benadryl, is a sedating antihistamine.

The medication has been used since 1946 for allergies, but because it is sedating, or sleep-inducing, people have also used it to help them sleep.

Unlike the allergy medications Claritin, Zyrtec or Allegra, this medication blocks histamine receptors in the brain. Histamine is necessary to promote wakefulness, motivation and goal-directed behaviors; when the receptors for histamine are blocked, drowsiness occurs. Many companies have marketed diphenhydramine and doxylamine (another sedating antihistamine) for insomnia under different brand names.

Researchers have conducted many studies of diphenhydramine for insomnia, but most have been small.

One of the larger studies looked at individuals with an average age of 44 years who had mild insomnia. In this study, people either took diphenhydramine or a placebo.

The diphenhydramine group switched to a placebo after two weeks.

The participants kept diaries of how long it took them to fall asleep, their total sleep time and the number of times they awoke.

Researchers found no difference between the drug group and the placebo group in the time needed to

fall asleep. However, sleep quality improved significantly among those taking the drug. Total sleep time also improved with diphenhydramine, but only by 29 minutes.

The authors did not find significant adverse effects and did not find rebound insomnia when the participants stopped diphenhydramine.

The authors concluded that, for the short term, the drug does have benefit in treating insomnia.

As for the merits or risks of taking the drug for more than two weeks, there are no good long-term trials of diphenhydramine, and prolonged use raises the potential for problems.

Further, two weeks of using sedating antihistamines can create some degree of tolerance to their sleep-inducing effects, so their effectiveness may wane.

In its guidelines for sleep medications, the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine does not recommend the use of antihistamines for chronic insomnia.

Sedating antihistamines can lead to dry mouth, constipation, retention of urine in the bladder, blurred vision and a drop of blood pressure upon standing.

Further, diphenhydramine’s halflife, the time it takes for the drug to lose half of its activity, is 9 hours in adults, but 13.5 hours in elderly individuals. That means the drug is still having effects long after one awakes. Sedating antihistamines also can cause grogginess, confusion and memory loss. This is especially

Drs. Elizabeth Ko & Eve Glazier

concerning in the elderly.

I would re-evaluate whether diphenhydramine is really helping you sleep. You should also consider whether the medication is causing any side effects. Other medications can be used as sleep aids, but the best move, especially for the long term, is to improve your sleep hygiene, such as using the bed for sleep and not for watching television.

If you have trouble doing this on your own, a professional who specializes in sleep therapy might be able to help. Though sleep therapy is a

Family Continued from A7

more than 380,000 babies are born prematurely, according to the March of Dimes Foundation.

Jill’s pregnancy had progressed normally through the first 24 weeks.

Unexplainably, her placenta erupted late one evening and an emergency C-Section was performed.

Jill, who works at the Uniontown Hospital as an RN Case Manager, went calmy into the normally alarming situation.

“I understood what they were talking about,” Jill said. “Sometimes it’s

scary because you know too much information, but I was peaceful.”

“I was crying, but I wasn’t sad. It was a weird feeling,” Jill continued.

“I wasn’t scared or traumatized — I just felt like everything was going to be OK.”

But with the help of March of Dimes officials, Jill and Todd were able to maneuver mountains of paperwork to get Trinity enrolled in Early Intervention services that offer physical and cognitive training.

For the Miscovich family, the last two years has been a blur — and a learning experience.

“Here we are now, and she’s 2 years old. In the NICU, time moved so slowly. But the last years have been so fast, we can’t believe she’s a toddler already,” Jill said.

Todd, a heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) tech, said

the ordeal has made him “quite a bit more patient.”

“I used to fly off the handle,” Todd said with a laugh.

“Now, I chew it a little bit. I’m more patient now in general.”

Jill simply described Trinity has her little present.

“She’s a part of me, literally. I never thought I could love someone this much,” Jill said. “I can’t imagine her not being here.”

As for other parents in their shoes, Jill and Todd said their best advice came from a nurse during the long 87 days: “There’s life after the NICU.”

“At Uniontown Hospital last year, we had four babies born under one pound, five babies born between one and two pounds, three babies born between two and three pounds, and nine babies born between three and four pounds,” Walls said.

Over the last year, the hospital conducted a number of fundraisers for March of Dimes, including the sale of Sarris candy bars and locally made hoagies. A calendar party in March also raised funds. In

2016, more than $6,000 was raised by the hospital, and according to Walls, this year’s funds should exceed that number by more than $1,000.

“Fayette County needs to be active for the betterment of women and children,” Walls said.

During Saturday’s events, food and music will also be provided, making for a “nice family event for everyone to come out to,” according to Walls.

All events are open to the public.

WASHINGTON — Kenny Davis Jr. didn’t have the professional boxing debut he envisioned when he fought to a draw on Saturday night at the Meadows Racetrack & Casino for WFC 69, but the Reno, Nevada, native was glad to get the first one out of the way after waiting nearly 17 months to get in the ring after he signed his pro contract on Dec. 2015.

“I am really glad to get the first one in,” Davis said. “I had fights set and guys backed out, or tried to do some shady stuff and we had to pull out, so it is good to finally get my first pro fight over with.”

Davis, who is trained by Coal Center’s Buzz Garnic, fought Haslett, Michigan’s Kevin “The Silent Assassin” Shacks (1-2-1, 1 KO) in a four-round junior welterweight bout. The judges scored the bout, 39-37, for Davis, 40-36, for Shacks, and 38-38.

“The first two rounds I came out good, boxed the way I should, controlled the action and displayed some talent, and I got thrown off of my gameplan in rounds three and four,”

Reno, Nevada, native Kenny Davis Jr., who is trained by Coal Center’s Buzz Garnic, connects on Kevin Shacks during their four-round junior welterweight bout on Saturday evening at the Meadows Racetrack & Casino for WFC 69. The bout was ruled a draw.

Davis, who normally fights at 130 pounds, felt he had a chance to end the fight in the first.

“I caught him with an uppercut that wobbled him, but I think him having a little bit of a weight advantage prevented me from stopping him, but I am not here to make any excuses,”

“I am still confident in what Kenny (Davis) can do. That guy had some weight on him, but I know Kenny will get back into the gym, learn from this, and improve.”

— Buzz Davis said. “I got the cut at the end of round three I believe. My legs weren’t moving as good as I wanted to and fell into his gameplan. I was fighting on the inside and I should have been fighting on the outside.”

Garnic, 80, has been in the fight game for 64 years and sees a great deal of potential in the 21-year-old

despite the draw.

“I am still confident in what Kenny (Davis) can do,” Garnic said. “That guy had some weight on him, but I know Kenny will get back into the gym, learn from this, and improve.”

Davis, who is known as “The Hurricane,” started strong in the first round with 1-2 combinations and got in some body shots.

Pirates’ Nova beats old team, 2-1 PITTSBURGH (AP) — Ivan Nova spent more than six years with the New York Yankees, fluctuating between good and not-so good as they waited for him to develop consistency to go with his occasionally topend-of-the-rotation stuff.

It never happened and the Yankees moved on last summer, sending Nova to the Pittsburgh Pirates at the trade deadline.

Nine months after leaving New York, Nova looks like the guy the Yankees wanted all along. Nova provided his old team with a close-up look at what it’s missing on Sunday, pitching four-hit ball over seven innings as the Pirates

The loss still stings.

The need still rings.

Here was Mike Tomlin finally admitting to that need last month at the NFL Owners Meetings: “Our inability to play manto-man effectively and our inability to apply pressure on the quarterback without blitzing were issues in that game,” Tomlin said of the Steelers’ one-sided loss to the New England Patriots in the AFC Championship Game.

Their “inability to play manto-man effectively” should be addressed easily in this draft.

In sampling five analysts’ rankings, an average of 14.6 cornerbacks were found among their top 100 players.

In the last five drafts, the average taken per top 100 has been 11.8 cornerbacks.

It’s a cornerback-rich crop, and the Steelers should be picky about style. If they want to improve their man

Warriors coach Kerr won’t be on sidelines for Game 4 tonight

Evan Sanders

Boxing trainer Buzz Garnic of Coal Center watches as Kenny Davis Jr. boxes Kevin Shacks in junior welterweight action on Saturday at the Meadows Racetrack & Casino. Davis and Shacks fought to a fourround draw.

Draw Continued from B1

Davis said. “In all honesty, I can’t disagree with the decision. I can learn a lot from this.”

Davis, who fought 84 times as an amateur, continued to push the pace and throw combinations in the second.

He closed the round with a hard shot on Shacks.

Shacks, who has an MMA background, went to more of a brawling style in the third that paid dividends in the scoring. Davis was cut above the eye in the third due to incidental contact, as the two fighters collided.

Shacks continued to press forward with hard shots to win the fourth round. Davis didn’t dispute the decision and was glad with his conditioning, which he credited to Garnic getting him in tip-top shape.

“I didn’t have any problem with my conditioning,” Davis said. “It’s a learning process.

I am going to go back to my hometown of Reno, Nevada, for a few weeks and come back here and train with Buzz.

“Buzz told me that he was very proud of me. He has put me in the best shape of my life and I feel like we have a lifelong bond. It was a great camp and I can’t wait to work with him again. He is a legend and a great guy on top of that.”

Bunola native “Lightning” Rod Salka (23-4, 4 KOs)

B3

was scheduled to fight in the main event, but his opponent, “The Nigerian Tiger” Taiwo Ali (21-5-1, 16 KOs), was pulled out of the scheduled eight-round bout.

“Taiwo (Ali) didn’t check his weight about two weeks ago, so we were looking for a replacement and we were able to find one, and he was a weight class above, so Rod’s camp decided not to take that fight,” Las Vegas promoter and World Fighting Championships owner and president Matt McGovern said.

Pittsburgh’s Bill Hutchinson (12-2-4, 6 KOs) made short work of Eric Hall (9-11-1, 5 KOs) in the main event at lightweight.

Hutchinson sent Hall to the canvas at 1:56 of the second round for the TKO. Hutchinson had a very strong first round as well.

The bout was scheduled for eight rounds.

“I had a great camp and I just need to keep pushing myself to be the best I can be,” Hutchinson said during the post-fight interview in the ring. “I want to thank everyone for coming out tonight.”

Pittsburgh’s Amonte “The Magician” Eberhardt (7-0, 2 KOs) dominated Joel Guevara (3-2-1, 2 KOs) in a four-round bout at 147 pound. The three judges scored the bout, 40-36, for the undefeated fighter.

Pittsburgh’s Mike “The Maverick” Conway (1-1, 1 KO) had the support of the hometown crowd before a punch was thrown

in his four-round junior welterweight bout against the debuting Roger “The Monster” Blankenship, but Blankenship didn’t endear himself to the crowd by taunting the local fighter.

Blankenship did enough to convince two of the three judges he won the fight in picking up a split decision.

The two judges that gave Blankenship the nod had the fight, 39-37, and the third judge gave Conway the three-round edge (39-37).

Shianne Gist (1-0-2) and Vanessa Bradford (4-0-2) fought to a four-round draw in junior welterweight action. Two judges scored the bout, 39-38, for each fighter, and the third judge scored the bout, 38-38.

“The fights we had tonight were wars with the exception of the main event,” McGovern said. “Bill (Hutchinson) is a big draw here. You really have to give credit to the fighters for coming out and giving the crowd a great show.

“Pittsburgh is a town that really likes to see a good fight, and they really support their local fighters. Injuries happen, people pull out of fights, and you have to adjust and hit the curve ball. We also try to match up fighters 50/50 and not put a ‘tomato can’ against a contender. At the end of the day, we don’t care who wins, we just want to put ‘butts’ in seats.”

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Ailing Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr says he won’t be on the sidelines for Game 4 on Monday against the Portland Trail Blazers because of symptoms stemming from back surgery.

Kerr stayed behind at the team hotel for Saturday night’s Game 3 at Portland’s Moda Center. Assistant Mike Brown took over and the Warriors overcame a 17-point first-half deficit to win 119-113 and go up 3-0 in the first-round series.

Golden State can sweep with a victory Monday night.

The reigning NBA coach of the year still experiences lingering symptoms from complications following two back surgeries after the franchise’s run to the 2015 championship. He missed the first 43 games last season dealing with symptoms such as headaches, nausea and an aching neck.

“This is something I’ve been dealing with, but doing OK. Ups and downs but consistently coaching. This past week for whatever reason, things got worse. My symptoms got worse,” he told reporters at the team hotel on Sunday.

Kerr, who clearly wasn’t feeling well on Friday before the team departed for Portland, hadn’t missed a game this season before Saturday, when he also missed shootaround.

He said that his status for the rest of the playoffs remains uncertain. He is in ongoing discussions with his doctors.

“This is not going to be a case where I’m coaching one night and not coaching the

Draft

next. I’m not going to do that to our team or our staff. We’re hoping that over the next week or two, whatever it is, I can sort of make a definitive realization or deduction, or just feel it that I’m going to do this or I’m not.

Stephen Curry, who scored 34 points in the Game 3 win, passed the game ball to Golden State GM Bob Myers to give to Kerr on Saturday night.

“He’s obviously going through a lot physically and that’s first and foremost for him to take care of himself, make sure he’s on the road to recovery and feeling like himself,” Curry said. “We’ve got his back, we’ve had certain situations all year, previous years, where players are down and you’ve got the ‘next man up’ philosophy, same with Coach Kerr.”

in the second (and 38-36 overall), but the scariest chances came from the Capitals by the end of a scoreless 40 minutes.

Toronto went long stretches without testing Holtby until Morgan Rielly dumped a puck into the right corner. Instead of wheeling around the boards, the puck bounced awkwardly into the slot where it was chased down by the 19-year-old Matthews, who roofed a shot into the top right corner for the 1-0 lead.

Matthews joined Wendel Clark as the second teenager ever to score a goal in four straight playoff games, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.

Matthews, who went pointless in the first two games of the series, was the first player picked No. 1 overall by the Leafs since Clark in 1985.

Johansson tied it about five minutes later, the sequence starting with a pass by Martin Marincin that went astray in the neutral zone. The puck found its way to the Capitals’ winger, who fought off Kasperi Kapanen’s pursuits before beating Andersen short-side.

The Leafs had a nervous moment with 72 seconds left in regulation when Nikita Zaitsev inadvertently bumped Andersen in the head. Andersen was forced to leave two starts late in the regular season after taking hits to the head, but he remained in the game for the remainder of the third and overtime.

TORONTO (AP) — Marcus Johansson stuffed his second goal of the game past Frederik Andersen at 6:31 of overtime, lifting the Washington Capitals to a series-winning 2-1 victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs in Game 6 on Sunday night.

Johansson pulled Washington even at 1-1 with less than eight minutes to go in the third period after Auston Matthews broke a scoreless tie with his fourth goal of the series for Toronto. It was the fifth overtime game of the series, and the recordsetting 18th in the first round of the playoffs.

Holtby made 37 saves for the Presidents’ Trophywinning Capitals, who will face the Pittsburgh Penguins in the Eastern Conference semifinals for the second straight year.

Andersen was sharp with 34 saves.

Toronto had the best chances in an opening period where few existed.

William Nylander had the two finest looks, both coming off strong work along the boards and down low by fellow rookie Zach Hyman. The Capitals had their best chance in the final minute of the first when Alex Ovechkin fired a shot that Andersen struggled initially to locate.

Masontown native Woodward officiated for 46 years

By GeorGe Von Benko For the Herald-Standard

Being an official is a tough and thankless job.

For 46 years, Don “Woody” Woodward did it at a high level and with class.

Originally from Masontown, Pennsylvania, Woodward was part of Albert Gallatin High School’s first graduating class in 1961. He was also a standout end/defensive back on the football team and was elected to the All-County and All-State teams.

“I attended Salem College for a semester and I went out to Northwest Missouri State for a semester,” Woodward said. “College wasn’t for me, so I went to the school of hard knocks and became a salesman.”

Woodward moved to Washington, DC, in 1962, and was there until 1969. He left Washington and moved to Davidsville, Pennsylvania, and got a job with Potter McCune company as a salesman. He was transferred to Fayette County in 1971.

“I had moved to DavidvilleHollsopple and I came home one night from work,” Woodward recalled. “The football stadium was about a block from my house. I came into my house and told my wife I was going over to see the football game.

I would go to all of the home

games at Conemaugh Township the first year I was up there.

“The second year, I held the first down sticks on the sideline, probably the second or third game of the year I came home one night and told my wife I’m going to become an official, she said, ‘What for?’ I did it because I didn’t like what I was seeing.

I applied for the test and took the test and I got transferred to Western Pennsylvania. That was in 1971.”

Woodward began officiating youth and junior high football in 1971, and steadily moved up the ranks as a PIAA licensed official. Woodward worked 30 years of college football and refereed over 300 college varsity games through the TriState Officials Association.

Working mainly NCAA Division II and III games, Woodward was the referee at the 1998 NCAA Division II National Championship game between Northwest Missouri State and Carson-Newman in Florence, Alabama.

“When I started officiating I had no idea what it would turn into,” Woodward stated. “I had a great career.”

Woodward has received several honors for his officiating, including being named the Tri-State Official of the Year in 2001 and by the National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame in 1999. He was awarded the Bill

Masontown native Don Woodward officiated for 46 years in high school and college.

Christy Memorial Award Excellence in Officiating by the Tri-County Coaches in 2010 and was honored by the PIAA for 35 years of service. Woodward was inducted into the WPIAL Hall of Fame in the class of 2013 as a contest official. He was also honored for his service by the Laurel Basketball Officials Chapter in 2010.

“I’m so pleased with the honors,” Woodward stated.

“The WPIAL puts an official in their group each year and it’s quite an honor to be recognized by your peers for what you’ve done.”

Woodward worked over 500 high school varsity football games in his 41 years of

officiating. He worked numerous WPIAL championship games in both football and baseball. Woodward officiated two PIAA state championship games, one Class AAAA football championship game and one Class AAA football championship game, three baseball championship games and one softball championship game.

Woodward served for 14 years as District 7 Football Rules Interpreter.

He retired as a college football referee after the 2008 season, and as a scholastic football referee after the 2012 season.

Woodward still serves as a high school referee and umpires for scholastic baseball and softball.

He was a basketball official for 18 years and assigns officials for all of these sports. Woodward has also been the official timekeeper since 2005 at California University of Pennsylvania’s home football games and men’s and women’s basketball games.

Looking back Woodward had some influences as an official.

“Probably three influenced me the most,” Woodward explained. “Gene Steratore, Bob Fee and Buck Grover, that’s a pretty good trio of officials.

Fee went to work in Division I and I took over as crew chief.

The Lord has blessed me with great people around me. The two Steratore brothers were on my high school crew. People don’t realize how many good

officials we had out of this area.

My favorite sport to work was baseball. It was my favorite because you are one on one.”

Woodward worked games with many great players and coaches.

“I saw Lavar Arrington of North Hills, Sean Lee from Upper St. Clair and Brandon Short from McKeesport,” Woodward said. “Coaching wise, I had some favorites like Jim Render of Upper St. Clair and Art Walker Sr. and Art Walker Jr. Basketball, I basically stayed local with guys like Dan Andia and Ray Trincia.

One of my favorites was the late James “Lash” Nesser.”

A U.S. Army veteran who served in Vietnam, Woodward was a Specialist Fifth Class.

Following his tour overseas, he worked in sales for 20 years for Sysco Corporation and for 22 years for U.S. Foods, Greensburg Division in purchasing as a Senior Buyer, before retiring in 2013.

Woodward, 74, and his wife, Diana, reside in New Salem. He has a grown daughter, Angela, two stepson’s, Dave and Scott Carney, and two grandchildren, Michael and Ashleigh Carney.

George Von Benko’s “Memory Lane” column appears in the Monday editions of the HeraldStandard. He also hosts a sports talk show on WMBS-AM radio from 10 a.m. to noon on Saturdays.

Oklahoma City star Russell Westbrook had a triple-double by halftime and finished with 35 points, 14 rebounds and 14 assists. The Thunder said Westbrook joined Wilt Chamberlain as the only players to claim three consecutive playoff triple-doubles.

Steven Adams scored 18 points and Victor Oladipo added 15 for the Thunder.

Westbrook had 17 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists at the break. He grabbed the 10th rebound in the final second of the second quarter, and the Thunder led 58-54 at intermission.

The Thunder opened the second half with a 10-2 run, but Houston closed to 77-73 at the end of the third quarter.

Adams made the first of two free throws with 21.7 seconds remaining to cut Oklahoma City’s deficit to four. He rebounded his missed second free throw and found Westbrook for a 3-pointer that cut Houston’s lead to one point. But the Thunder lost track of Nene on the other end, and he converted a three-point play. Gordon’s two free throws with 6.2 seconds made it a four-point game.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — LeBron James stuck to the old script Sunday.

Again, he bailed out the Cleveland Cavaliers. And again, he sent the Indiana Pacers home for vacation.

On yet another milestone day for basketball’s king, James’ crowning achievement was making the go-ahead 3-pointer with 1:08 to play and helping the defending champions hold on for a series-clinching 106-102 victory at Indiana.

“You have to mentally challenge yourself every year and go out and try to do what’s right — putting your body on the line, putting your team on the line and trying to be successful,” James said. “It’s very hard.”

But the four-time MVP makes it look easy. He finished with 33 points, 10 rebounds, four assists, four steals and two blocks.

By winning his 21st consecutive first-round game, James broke a tie with Michael Cooper, Magic Johnson and James Worthy for the longest streak under the NBA’s current playoff format. By sweeping a series for the 10th time, James broke a tie with Tim Duncan for the most in a career, according to Elias Sports Bureau. By going 13 of 25 from the field, he pulled into a tie

NASCAR postpones race at Bristol Motor Speedway

Chappell wins on final hole at Valero Texas Open SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Kevin Chappell made an 8-foot putt on the final hole to win the Valero Texas Open by one stroke on Sunday.

Chappell had a 4-under 68 in the final round to finish at 12 under for the tournament, edging Brooks Koepka at TPC San Antonio to earn his first PGA Tour victory in his 180th career start.

“A big relief,” the 30-year-old Chappell said. “There’s been quite the monkey on my back for some time now about getting that first win. And to take that off and not have to answer those questions anymore is nice.”

Koepka, a member of the U.S. Ryder Cup team last year, was looking for his second PGA Tour win. He had the best round of the day at 7-under 65. Before Chappell came down the 18th hole, Koepka had birdied the hole with a 3-foot putt to tie him.

“It’s hard to win out here — everybody knows that,” Koepka said. “I’m knocking on the door to get my second win. It’s nice for Kevin to get his first win. That’s pretty cool.”

Second-round co-leader Tony Finau got in a position to tie Koepka when he birdied four of five holes on the back nine. But his par-bogey finish left him to settle for a finalround 69 and a third-place tie with Kevin Tway (69) at 9-under.

Australian Aaron Baddeley fired 68 to finish fourth at 8 under.

Brian Gay (70), Sung Kang (68), Ryan Palmer (71) and Cameron Smith (71) were tied for sixth at 7-under, five shots behind Chappell.

Koepka, trailing Chappell by a shot coming up the 18th, took a 3-metal out of his bag and considered taking a crack at reaching the 606-yard

par-5 in two. But he had 293 yards left with a slight uphill shot into the wind with a creek fronting the green.

“I really wanted to go for it — I really wanted to,” Koepka said. “But my caddy was kind of pulling the reins back and he wanted me to lay up, and it was probably a good thing that we did.”

He put the club back in his bag and laid up to create a 90-wedge approach. He stuck that to about three feet and made the birdie to go into the clubhouse tied with Chappell.

Chappell had almost the same distance for his approach on 18, and he landed it past the hole to set up the winning putt.

“I wouldn’t want it any other way,” said Chappell, a Californian who had been runner-up six times in his career. “Brooks kept me honest out there today. He made me had to do it the right way. There wasn’t any question I was going to make 4 (birdie) and win the golf tournament.”

Finau closed with birdies on four of five holes coming to the 17th.

He was just a shot behind Chappell’s lead, but he parred there and drove next to a cactus bush on the 18th. He punched out to the fairway, removed cactus needles from his leg, then put his approach into the creek. He took a penalty drop, and his bogey ended his chances.

Chappell clung to a oneshot lead after Koepka birdied No. 11 with a 23foot putt and another one at the next hole putting inside seven feet.

Koepka let a scoring opportunity get away at the 14th, a reachable par-5 at 567 yards. He tagged a 328-yard drive, but he found the rough and failed to get to the green with his second shot, and then

missed a 4-foot birdie putt.

“It was an awkward little putt,” Koepka said.

“I probably didn’t read enough break. It was probably the worst putt I hit all week and the worst I’ve hit in a long time.”

About 45 minutes later, Chappell came to the hole and sent his second shot 221 yards, about pin high on the green. Even though he lipped out the 11-foot eagle, his tap-in birdie gave him two strokes over Koepka.

Chappell gave Koepka new life when he bogeyed from a greenside bunker at the 15th, and it took until the 18th for Koepka to finally equalize.

Gay, who made it into the field thanks to a 27event medical exemption due to thumb surgery, earned enough money to make good on the exemption and regain full status on the Tour.

Chappell had a one-shot advantage over first-round leader Branden Grace and John Huh entering the day, the first time he has led after 54 holes on the PGA Tour. Koepka, who won two years back at Phoenix, was four back and had 10 players between him and the lead.

But Koepka made the charge with birdies on his opening two holes, then a streak of three more starting with a 20-foot birdie putt at No. 6. He followed with birdie of almost 40 feet on the seventh green and knocked in one from 10 feet at the eighth to tie Chappell.

But while Chappell stuck his tee shot on the 189-yard seventh inside five feet and made birdie to get to 10-under, Koepka would make bogey even after hitting the green at the tough par-4 ninth. He left his putt from 42 feet well short and missed the 9-foot par putt he had remaining.

It’s unclear if both the preferred bottom lane and top line will work on Monday. If only one lane works, it could turn into a throwback Bristol race in which bumping is the only way to pass a car.

Larson said he expected NASCAR to call a competition caution early in the first stage Monday to check tire wear.

“I’m sure we will all pit probably because it has shown a lot of tire wear on the left side, so I’m sure everybody will pit,” Larson said. “We will see if people take two or four or whatever, but it kind of just depends on what position you are in at that point if you are going to take two or four (tires).”

Five-time Bristol winner Kurt Busch called the rain “a blessing in disguise.”

“The track was talking

about laying down more VHT and they can’t do it while it’s wet,” Busch said. “The VHT is like a grip applicator and you have to heat it up to make it work, so in the dragracing world the guys do a burnout through it and you have that stripe that you just heat it up and that’s what has to happen for us oval guys. We have to have more cars out there to heat it up, so it’s going to be like ice when we first start off and then the grip will come back once we do heat it up after this rain.

“I’m hopeful that once we burn through some of that top surface, and we get through to where we’re starting to wear it away, then the outside groove will come into play. Hopefully, you’ll have a bottom and a top once it gets down to it.”

Kevin Chappell studies the map of the 9th with his caddy as a stiff wind blows against them during the third round of the Valero Texas Open at TPC San Antonio Oaks Course on Saturday in San Antonio, Texas.

BRISTOL, Tenn. (AP) — NASCAR has postponed the Monster Energy Cup race at Bristol Motor Speedway because of heavy rain that is not expected to let up on Sunday.

The race was pushed until Monday at 1 p.m.

Weather has been a problem all weekend at Bristol, where Friday qualifications were washed out. On Saturday, the Xfinity Series race had a lengthy stoppage for rain.

Cup points leader Kyle Larson will start on the pole next to Chase Elliott.

Bristol officials this year applied a VHT resin to the track surface that is intended to enhance grip.

But the nonstop rain has washed away most of the tire rubber accumulated through three practice sessions.

I’ve spent a good bit of time in hospitals — mostly because I hide under patients’ beds and make beep-beepbeep noises followed by a long flatlining noise.

I consider that my “me time.”

But during long periods in a hospital room, you tend to notice odd things — things like that goofy TV remote that hasn’t had a hardware update since the Reagan administration, the chart of numbers and faces to effectively describe your amount of pain and secret gurney races throughout the ICU. I also find the things the doctors and

Erin ‘Joanie’ Moran of ‘Happy Days’ dies at 56

Moran

of “Happy Days” and was more often in the news for her numerous personal and financial struggles and was reportedly homeless at times.

“Such sad sad news.

RIP Erin,” Howard tweeted Saturday.

“I’ll always choose to remember you on our show making scenes better, getting laughs and lighting up TV screens.”

Other “Happy Days” cast members included Tom Bosley and Marion Ross as Joanie’s parents and Henry Winkler as the loveable tough guy Arthur “The Fonz” Fonzarelli.

“What happened

with all of us was like we were this family,” Moran told Xfinity in 2009. “It was so surreal with all the cast members. ... They were my family, get it?”

Debuting at a time of nostalgia for the seemingly innocent 1950s, the sitcom was set in Milwaukee and became a long-running hit.

Howard and Winkler

were the show’s biggest stars, but the smiling, freckle-faced Moran also became popular.

In 1982, she was paired off with fellow “Happy Days” performer Scott Baio in the short-lived “Joanie Loves Chachi.” Moran returned to “Happy Days” in 1984, the show’s final season.

“I would love to do

In 2011, she and Ross and former “Happy Days” actors Anson Williams and Donnie Most sued CBS, saying they were owed money for merchandising related to the show. The

lawsuit was settled the following year.

Moran told Xfinity that she had been working on a memoir, called “Happy Days, Depressing Nights.”

“OH Erin ... now you will finally have the peace you wanted so badly here on earth,” Winkler tweeted Saturday. “Rest In It serenely now... too soon.”

NEW YORK (AP) — Erin Moran, the former child star who played Joanie Cunningham in the sitcoms “Happy Days” and “Joanie Loves Chachi,” has died. She was 56.

Moran was found dead Saturday by emergency responders after a dispatcher for the Harrison County, Indiana, sheriff’s department received a 911 call, the department said. The cause of death has not been determined. An autopsy is pending.

A Burbank, California, native, Moran began acting in TV and movies before she was 10 years old. She had several years of experience when she was cast in 1974 in “Happy Days” as Joanie Cunningham, the kid sister to high school student Richie Cunningham, played by Ron Howard, who went on to become a successful filmmaker.

Her more recent credits included “The Love Boat” and “Murder, She Wrote,” but she never approached the success

He explained, “We invite men to come out and share fellowship, share their beliefs in Christ, a Gospelcentered message, enjoy a full breakfast and just have the opportunity to renew themselves, to re-energize themselves in Christ.’’

Ganoe, of Uniontown, who belongs to Central Christian Church, has been a member of the fellowship nearly 40 years and president for the past 10.

“I also enjoy all the fellowship with all the men,’’ said Ganoe. It’s just a great group of guys. I enjoy the singing and all those kinds of things. I just enjoy coming here.’’

Ganoe collected the $3 charge for the breakfast that volunteers began preparing at 4:30 a.m. It’s the only charge members pay as there are no dues, but first responders and first timers are always free.

Payerchin walked about the social hall to talk to members and Dr. Lawrence Stratton, a Presbyterian minister and assistant professor of constitutional law and ethics at Waynesburg University, who was making his third appearance as speaker.

“I think it’s a fascinating group to have 50 people get together nine months a year and so early in the morning — to maintain that interest,’’ Stratton commented later.

“And to have so many denominations there, it’s unique.

I’m always honored when I’m invited to speak.’’

Members explained the fellowship began around 1950 when the YMCA director and others started meeting weekly at the former Hagan’s restaurant.

“The only reason we meet at 6:30 a.m. is because (the restaurant’s) breakfast trade came in at 7:30. It became a tradition,’’ said Payerchin.

“Some guys like the early time because they can get to work early. But most guys are retired — about 75 percent.’’

Is Jenner’s privilege protection, or a prison?

By Steven Petrow

Special to The Washington Post

ABC News

website captured it well: “Privilege is … the idea that society grants unearned rewards to certain people based on their race, gender, sexuality, etc. — checking your privilege means acknowledging the role those rewards play in your life and the lives of less privileged people.”

How exactly does it work? A white guy I know recently asked his Facebook friends whether it would be OK for him to jump the subway turnstile because the MetroCard machines weren’t working and his train was approaching.

All of his friends, who were also white, suggested, “Sure, just do it.” I told him: Because you’re white, it’s safer to jump. If you weren’t, I’d say think again, because the consequences could be much grimmer. That’s white privilege, which is derived from institutional racism, e.g., the fact that people of color are much more commonly arrested — or worse — for minor legal violations.

Another example:

Years ago, I was teamed with a female colleague to conduct joint interviews, and pretty much every time either of us asked a question, the subject would turn to me when answering. It was a nearperfect example of male privilege, and my colleague was infuriated. I protested that I wasn’t doing anything wrong. I’ve since learned that it didn’t matter; gender privilege is embedded in our culture.

Nor has Jenner done anything wrong; in fact, she has done an enormous amount to raise transgender visibility in this country. After her first prime-time interview with Sawyer in 2015, nearly 17 million Americans could say they “knew” a transgender person. “Visibility helps to bring about acceptance,” Jennifer Finney Boylan, co-chair of GLAAD and a prominent trans writer, told me. According to surveys conducted by UCLA’s Williams Institute, 1.4 million American adults now say that they are transgender, up from 700,000 just a few

years ago. That’s due in large part to Jenner.

But Jenner has most definitely been a prisoner of her privilege. Early on, she protested that “the hardest part of being a woman” was figuring out what to wear.

She also proved to be tone deaf, citing “the paparazzi” as a prime menace in her life as a trans woman, without mentioning the disproportionately high rates of trans bullying, murders and suicides. Ellen DeGeneres has called Jenner out repeatedly for her tepid support of samesex marriage. Bravo TV quotes Jenner blaming the daytime TV queen in her new book, “Secrets of My Life,” for “further alienat[ing] me from members of the LGBTQ community.” Sorry, Ms. Jenner, but you need to check that privilege.

On Friday night’s broadcast, Jenner agreed that she has made mistakes, conceding that “at the beginning, I knew absolutely nothing.” She has also directly acknowledged her privilege, once telling Time magazine that it “has given

us an opportunity to take our message to the masses out here, on a worldwide scale.” Now Jenner is much more aware of the politics of hate directed at trans people. She distanced herself from Donald Trump after he withdrew federal protections for trans kids in school.

I myself have also had to learn how privilege operates — invisible as it so often is to the one benefiting from it. I know I need to challenge it both as an individual and systemically. Jenner’s story reminds me that people can be privileged in some ways but not others. Yes, her race and wealth confer great benefits; her gender identity, not so much.

As GLAAD’s Boylan told me: “People need to understand the terrible threats and challenges our community suffers, and to join in the fight for change.” Jenner’s contribution to this fight is sometimes muddled, but she is teaching us much — about courage, personal transformation and the deep challenges of privilege.

Robots, computers can’t grasp Icelandic language REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP) — When an Icelander arrives at an office building and sees “Solarfri” posted, they need no further explanation for the empty premises: The word means “when staff get an unexpected afternoon off to enjoy good weather.”

The people of this rugged North Atlantic island settled by Norsemen some 1,100 years ago have a unique dialect of Old Norse that has adapted to life at the edge of the Artic.

Hundslappadrifa, for example, means “heavy snowfall with large flakes occurring in calm wind.”

But the revered Icelandic language, seen by many as a source of identity and pride, is being undermined by the widespread use of English, both for mass tourism and in the voicecontrolled artificial intelligence devices coming into vogue.

Linguistics experts, studying the future of a language spoken by fewer than 400,000 people in an increasingly globalized world, wonder if this is the beginning of the end for the Icelandic tongue.

Former President Vigdis Finnbogadottir told The Associated Press that Iceland must take steps to protect its language. She is particularly concerned that programs be developed so the language can be easily used in digital technology.

“Otherwise, Icelandic will end in the Latin bin,” she warned.

Teachers are already

sensing a change among students in the scope of their Icelandic vocabulary and reading comprehension.

Anna Jonsdottir, a teaching consultant, said she often hears teenagers speak English among themselves when she visits schools in Reykjavik, the capital.

She said 15-year-old students are no longer assigned a volume from the Sagas of Icelanders, the medieval literature chronicling the early settlers of Iceland. Icelanders have long prided themselves of being able to fluently read the epic tales originally penned on calfskin.

Most high schools are also waiting until senior year to read author Halldor Laxness, the 1955 winner of the Nobel Prize in literature, who rests in a small cemetery near his farm in West Iceland.

A number of factors combine to make the future of the Icelandic language uncertain.

Tourism has exploded in recent years, becoming the country’s single biggest employer, and analysts at Arion Bank say one in two new jobs is being filled by foreign

labor.

That is increasing the use of English as a universal communicator and diminishing the role of Icelandic, experts say.

“The less useful Icelandic becomes in people’s daily life, the closer we as a nation get to the threshold of giving up its use,” said Eirikur Rognvaldsson, a language professor at the University of Iceland.

He has embarked on a three-year study of 5,000 people that will be the largest inquiry ever into the use of the language.

“Preliminary studies suggest children at their first-language acquisition are increasingly not exposed to enough Icelandic to foster a strong base for later years,” he said.

Concerns for the Icelandic language are by no means new. In the 19th century, when its vocabulary and syntax were heavily influenced

by Danish, independence movements fought to revive Icelandic as the

common tongue, central to the claim that Icelanders were a nation.

Since Iceland became fully independent from Denmark in 1944, its presidents have long championed the need to protect the language.

Asgeir Jonsson, an economics professor at the University of Iceland, said without a unique language Iceland could experience a brain drain, particularly among certain professions.

“A British town with a population the size of Iceland has far fewer scientists and artists, for example,” he said.

“They’ve simply moved to the metropolis.”

The problem is compounded because many new computer devices are designed to recognize English but they do not understand Icelandic.

Dear Annie: I’m having issues with my co-worker.

I am maybe three or four years older than she is.

This is her first job, but she has been here for two or three years. I have had many jobs previously, and I have been here for about a year now. She is a woman who has that ‘’anything you can do I can do better’’ attitude toward men and does the hardest jobs to prove herself.

For the past several months, she has been actively avoiding me. It started when she would come up to others near me and invite them to parties and just ignore that I was there — consistently excluding me from these talks. It’s not that bad to be excluded; we don’t have to be friends.

But it’s more than that now. I can’t remember the last time she spoke to me, even when communication between us has been crucial for us to do our jobs. If I go to the break room, the smoking area or the bathroom at the same time she does, she will straight up book it out of there, not looking at me, not speaking to me. I have no idea why!

She calls our supervisor to complain about me. Now I am careful about what I say and how I say it. I am always nice to her and friendly. She has called managers, in front of me, to ask them to tell me to do a task that I clearly was about to do already. I’ve told her a few times that she could just radio me instead of going through the extra step of having the supervisor tell me.

She says she will talk to me directly next time.

An hour later, I get a call to the office, and the managers say she came in to complain about my ‘’confronting’’ her. It’s in no way a confrontation. I wish they would call us both up so we could talk it out in the office.

I don’t know why she is doing stuff like this to me. Every time I try to talk to her, she gives me a curt answer and takes off. Nothing gets done, and this trying to get me in trouble thing she’s on now is ridiculous. One of my supervisors gets it, and I know he knows this is happening. The other, I think, may be more on her side. I am going to leave this job soon for other reasons, but any advice on what I can do here? — What Did I Do? Dear WDID: This woman can point her finger only so many times before the higherups notice that the rest of her fingers are pointed back at herself. You might speak to the human resources department and ask for some mediation and guidance. But if you’re leaving soon anyway, keep your head down and work hard.

Ignore her antics. And give a professional but frank assessment of her in your exit interview.

Co-worker irksome

Diane Sawyer, right, interviews Caitlyn Jenner on ABC’s “20/20.”

UT-7091838V01

annie lane

Today’s word of the day is “privilege” — “a special right, advantage, or immunity granted or available only to a particular person or group of people.”

Here’s how the writer Delia Melody used it in a sentence about Caitlyn Jenner after the former Olympian first came out as transgender: “You have a lot to learn, and you will never learn it from a life of privilege. You benefit from your class, wealth, and whiteness. No one hates you for that, but it blinds you to the reality of the negative consequences the rest of us suffer just for being trans.”

If Jenner wanted a surgical procedure, for instance, she could pay for it out of pocket; if her family threw her out, she wouldn’t be left homeless.

And so on. Jenner’s privilege is her safety net.

Friday night, ABC News anchor Diane Sawyer’s interview with Jenner only reinforced the notion that the Olympian-turned-Kardashian-reality-show-star lives a life in many ways hemmed off from reality — whether you consider her privilege a source of protection or a prison.

As a white man, I’ve now come to understand that I have privileges of my own.

Though the term has been in high currency since the 1980s, it has taken me a while to fully grasp its power. The first few times I was the recipient of the flip verbal warning, “Check your privilege,” I wasn’t sure what it meant.

Clever in spades, but how was I “privileged?”

I am slowly learning.

robots and similar devices would be yet another lost field,” Jonsson said.

Icelandic ranks among the weakest and least-supported language in terms of digital technology — along with Irish Gaelic, Latvian, Maltese and Lithuanian — according to a report by the Multilingual Europe Technology Alliance assessing 30 European languages.

Iceland’s Ministry of Education estimates about 1 billion Icelandic krona, or $8.8 million, is needed for seed funding for an open-access database to help tech developers adapt Icelandic as a language option.

Svandis Svavarsdottir, a member of Iceland’s parliament for the LeftGreen Movement, said the government should not be weighing costs when the nation’s cultural heritage is at stake.

“If we wait, it may already be too late,” she said.

Mind over mattress?

Dear Readers: Today’s SOUND OFF is about mattresses: “Dear Heloise: Why are mattresses in this age of space technology not made stain- and water-repellent? Why aren’t mattresses made in colors that don’t show the dirt, and why aren’t there handles on the sides of mattresses to make flipping them much easier? Seems to me there’s a lot of room for improvement.” — Janice M., Waterbury, Conn.

Janice, I’m with you on this! Yes, they do sell mattress protectors, which you buy, then put OVER the mattress. Here is the Heloise Hint: Buy a fabric/ leather protector spray and use this on your mattress. It’s best to do several light coats, rather than one heavy.

The handles are supposed to be used when placing the mattress on the box spring, not really to “flip” the mattress.

However, most of us do use them when it’s time to flip or rotate the mattress.

Also, today MOST new mattresses have “pillow” tops, and unless the pillow is on both top and bottom, you can’t flip it!

This image released by Universal Pictures shows Charlize Theron, left, and Vin Diesel in “The Fate of the Furious.”

LOS ANGELES (AP) — “The Fate of the Furious” sped into first place at the box office again, leaving new thriller “Unforgettable” and historical drama “The Promise” in the dust.

Universal Pictures’ eighth installment in “The Fast and the Furious” franchise earned $38.7 million in North American theaters over the weekend, down 61 percent from its debut, according to studio estimates Sunday.

The newcomers could not compete with the high-octane film, which had the biggest worldwide opening of all time last weekend. It has earned $908.4 million globally so far and is expected to cross $1 billion this week.

Holdovers dominated the charts on this quiet weekend in theaters.

“The Boss Baby” took second place with $12.8

million, and “Beauty and the Beast” landed in third with $10 million.

Disney’s animal documentary “Born in China” opened in fourth place, with $5.1 million from 1,508 locations. The two other new movies fared worse.

Warner Bros. thriller “Unforgettable,” starring Katherine Heigl as a jealous ex-wife and Rosario Dawson as the new fiancee, opened at No. 7 with just $4.8 million.

Critics were tough on the film, and audiences gave it a deathly C CinemaScore rating.

The directorial debut of longtime producer Denise Di Novi cost only $12 million to make, but the meager result still disappointed.

“Unfortunately, the movie just missed the intended audience,” said Jeff Goldstein, Warner Bros.’ president

of domestic distribution.

“We had higher expectations, and we’re disappointed we didn’t achieve them.”

There is a silver lining for the studio. The buddy comedy “Going in Style,” starring Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine and Alan Arkin, is chugging along after three weeks in theaters, taking fifth place with $5 million.

Meanwhile, the historical epic “The Promise,” starring Oscar Isaac and Christian Bale, bombed with a mere $4.1 million from 2,251 theaters.

The movie delves into the mass killings of Armenians in Ottoman Turkey that many countries and most historians call genocide.

Turkey still denies genocide, saying the deaths stemmed from civil unrest and war.

Bridge

By Phillip Alder Last week, we looked at one-level and two-level negative doubles. But what happens when the overcall is at the three- or four-level?

In today’s deal, after South opens one heart and West overcalls four spades, what should North do?

With 13 points, North cannot pass. At the two- or three-level, North would bid hearts, but to respond with five hearts risks ending in a 5-1 (5-0?) fit.

The opening side needs to be more flexible.

North should double, just saying that he has too many points to pass, but no better bid to make. It is not for penalty, suggesting two or three trump tricks, because he cannot have those unless West is crazy.

How does the opener react?

With a balanced hand, he passes and hopes that the contract fails. But if he has a distributional hand, he bids, knowing that partner will put down some useful goodies in the dummy.

Here, South’s two spades are worrying, but he rebids five clubs, which is passed out. (Note that four spades doubled costs only 500.)

West cashes his two top spades, then shifts to a heart.

South must play the trump suit without loss. When you have nine trumps missing only the queen, normally you play for the drop: eight ever, nine nearly never. But here declarer knows that West has eight spades to East’s one. This swings the odds solidly in favor of a second-round club finesse. It is almost three times a better play to lead a club to dummy’s ace, then to run the club jack through East. Bingo — plus 600.

what’s going on around you, and follow through with your plans. Choose to be successful.

“I had to check the tag to make sure I was seeing it right,” she joked.

Though the doors to Studio GN in Nickman’s Plaza are typically closed on Mondays, Nestor said he was more than happy to open them to help a worthy cause.

“I was raised to make sure you help others when you can,” Nestor said, also recalling past volunteer experiences. “It’s such a good feeling to help others feel good about themselves.”

Nestor, who has been in the hair industry for 35 years, 23 of them being in Los Angeles, California, was accompanied by three volunteers from his class at the Douglas Education Center in Monessen, where he serves as the supervisor of the Cosmetology Academy.

Lakisha Dunmeyer of Donora was in her element working on hairstyles, while Acme-native Alexandra Davis completed everyone’s makeup and Shawnie Kudas of Brownsville remained eager to paint everyone’s nails.

“We all have a knack for something. Styling hair is my part,” Dunmeyer said.

Coming into the salon, some of the contestants had an idea of what Jenn Breakiron has her hair curled. they wanted, while others came with an open, or undecided, mind.

When contestants aren’t sure what they want, Nestor said he takes into consideration their skin tone and eye color — both of which play a role in how their hair could complement them.

Jane Lindsey went for an updo, mimicking what Nestor referred to as a “Gibson-girl-BernadettePeters-hairstyle.” Janis McGee didn’t know what she wanted going into the salon, but ended up with an easy half-up, half-down style with fresh highlights and a lighter tone.

She also thanked her boyfriend, Bob, who kept her going.

“We walked together, and he was my constant support,” Lindsey said.

“We really appreciate the sacrifice you have made, as family members and friends, to make this happen,” Core added. “You’ve played a big role in that.”

Core said they were excited to have a group so dedicated to “claiming and advancing their health.”

Taking “makeover” to a whole new level, though, was Tara Azzardi, who went from long dark blonde hair to shoulder-length, dark brown.

“It’s been awhile since I was dark, and it’s been at least 15 years since I had it short,” Azzardi said later at the live finale.

Nestor said he was eager to be a part of this year’s Shape-Up Challenge makeovers, noting his own recent weight loss. That, combined with his passion for other’s self-confidence, motivated him.

While contestants and the stylist chatted about changes and acceptance,

Nestor recalled something his father used to tell him: “If you’re changing, you’re growing.”

The contestants agreed, Breakiron even noting that the entire Challenge has taught her to step out of her comfort zone.

“This is a year of drastic changes, and I’m getting used to change,” she said with a smile as she watched her reflection in the salon station.
