CHILDREN’S FUND YOUNG PANTHERS IN THE PETE, PG. 9 PROPOSAL FAILS Hannah Schneider News Editor

Allegheny voters had the opportunity Tuesday to vote on a referendum that would increase property taxes to fund child well-being programs.

The Allegheny County Children’s Fund, proposed in May by a steering committee including United Way of Southwestern Pennsylvania, the YWCA of Greater Pittsburgh and local nonprofit Allies for Children, would have contributed to numerous education initiatives. Among the main three planned were early-childhood education, after-school and nutritional-support programs for underprivileged children in Allegheny County.

But the measure failed to pass by a narrow margin. Of 513,362 votes in Allegheny County, 265,366 voters — or 51.69 percent — said no to the special election question, according to unofficial election tallies.

The tax increase would have added an additional $25 in property taxes for every $100,000 of assessed value on all taxable real estate.

Supporters of the proposal have acknowledged the fund as a positive change, hopeful it More than 8,000 grade-school students attended Wednesday morning’s women’s basketball game against UCF. would help children in need in Allegheny County.

Surfing for solutions: The tolls of Pittsburgh flooding Remy Samuels Staff Writer

Pittsburgh residents are leaving their homes and lifestyles behind because of flooded basements, soaking wet carpets and molding drywall as a result of a record-breaking average annual total of 49.25 inches of rainfall in the City in 2018 — and the year isn’t even over yet.

Allegheny County has experienced immense flooding the past few months — most notably in areas such as Millvale, the “Bathtub” section in Downtown, Bethel Park and South Hills. According to the National Weather Service, Pittsburgh’s average September rainfall for the last 30 years is 3.11 inches. But by Sept. 10, the City’s rainfall had already totaled 5.5 inches, surpassing the entire month’s average.

Working on solutions to flooding is the Army Corps of Engineers — a federal agency that is one of the world’s largest public engineering, design and construction management agencies. Jeff Hawk, the spokesperson for the Pittsburgh district at

pittnews.com

Army Corps of Engineers, said Pittsburgh’s steep valleys have an impact on flooding when major rain events occur.

“We have a very flashy rain system here,” Hawk said. “You can look out your window and see the steep hills of Pittsburgh and realize that when rain falls, [it] can quickly head downhill and into the valleys where most of the flooding occurs. So in these local communities and for people to have a little stream next to them, those are a big flood risk because things can happen very quickly.”

The Corps currently has 16 flood management reservoirs throughout the highlands of the upper Ohio River Basin, an area commonly referred to as the “Three Rivers” that includes the Allegheny River, the Monongahela River and the Ohio River. Together, the rivers cover about 15,600 miles over 23 counties of Western Pennsylvania. Hawk said the reservoirs’ primary purposes are to store water during rain events, to capture the runoff in the rain and to reduce the flood crest — the high-

est level of a flood wave — downstream to local dams.

“In [the] watersheds that are behind our dams, we can catch up to 33 percent of the precipitation and runoff that falls within the Upper Ohio River Basin,” Hawk said.

“You can almost think of these as buckets. They’re up here in the highlands at the headwaters of the Mon, the Allegheny and the Beaver river systems. They are there to impound this water to keep it from flooding to downstream communities.”

The flooding that has recently caused a lot of damage is mainly focused in these downstream communities. Hawk explained this may be due to “uncontrolled basins” in areas like Saw Mill Run and Millvale. The Corps has in place 42 local protection projects, which Hawk said are smaller projects for flood-risk communities.

“You can think of these as flood walls, channels, levies … so these are smaller projects to evacuate water out of a community to reduce the risk of flooding to homes and businesses there,” Hawk said.

The issue of climate change plays a role in this increased rainfall that results in excessive flooding, according to Daniel Bain, a professor of geology and environmental science at Pitt.

“Due to the warming atmosphere, the air is able to hold more water vapor, so when you do get a rainstorm there’s more water vapor to rain out,” Bain said. “You get higher volumes of rainfall, so that contributes to flooding.”

Tom Maier, a senior biologist in the planning and environmental branch at the Corps, described the implications of more extreme climate conditions.

“I think there’s general agreement that the climate change we’ve been experiencing has been moving the goalpost, moving the means and the extremes,” Maier said. “We definitely have documented more extreme rainfall throughout the country, especially in the northeastern part of the U.S., which includes Pittsburgh.”

Looking toward solutions to this probSee Flooding on page 3

Flooding, pg. 2 lem for areas around Saw Mill Run, Maier said the Corps is implementing “green infrastructure” for local communities, which includes planting more trees and creating more ponds. According to Maier, the Corps has long been a proponent of implementing gray infrastructure, which uses concrete and steel, but it is now transitioning to more nonstructural means of preventing flooding damage.

“There have been proven benefits in converting places like old car lots by planting trees that break up the rainfall and reduce erosion, providing collection areas where water can pool where it’s not gonna harm anybody,” Maier said. “Green infrastructure covers a lot of different things. They can be ponds, they can be holding containers, they can be rain barrels.”

Bain believes a long-term solution would be to warn builders who plan on installing property in flood-prone areas that those places could be at risk of flooding. He noted if this intense flooding continues to occur, the amount of property damage will increase, resulting in large-scale migration of housing from some of these areas to elsewhere. But there are also ways to slow the water down to reduce flooding and prevent this, he said.

“What often happens in urban areas, with pavement, the water doesn’t soak into the soil and it runs off more quickly,” Bain said. “You can do things like use pavements that are harder to infiltrate and that can slow the flood waters down to prevent flooding from smaller storms. But for the bigger storms, if we have to build everything for a 3- or 4-inch rainfall, that’s gonna be a transformation from the way in which we build homes. It’s not like anything we’ve seen before. It’s gonna be a lot of money.”

Speaking of money, Bain said the cleanup process for flooded homes can be very expensive because of the amount of material that can be damaged from high water levels, like Sheetrock, a popular brand of drywall.

“A lot of modern construction is done with Sheetrock, so it will absorb water, but it has to be ripped out or else it will get mold,” Bain said. “You have to get it down to the bare wood, sand that down and make sure you don’t get mold growing in there.

It’s just a colossal disposal of many different kinds of materials.”

Michael Pisarcik, a real-estate lawyer who often deals with issues of flooding and flood insurance, said having flood insurance in these situations is essential. Without it, there aren’t many options for people to receive financial aid for flood damage besides looking to charitable organizations and potentially receiving government assistance from the Federal Emergency Management Agency in the case of a serious natural disaster.

“As far as looking at recovery for individuals who are looking to sue somebody, there’s not really a whole lot you can do because there may not be anybody to blame, per se, because it’s a natural disaster,” Pisarcik said. “That’s why flood insurance is so critically important because a lot of the times, that’s the only thing you can really rely on. Homeowners insurance and renters insurance typically do not cover flood damage.”

Pisarcik said that if a homeowner’s property is located in a flood zone, then a condition of the mortgage would require the person to have flood insurance.

Referencing the heavy flooding that affected businesses like the Outback Steakhouse in Upper St. Clair and the Mon Wharf parking lot near the southern edge of Downtown, the financial cost of the damage must be significant, according to Pisarcik — especially with cases of landslides this past year. This includes the collapse of a segment of Route 30 on April 7, which caused a landslide to occur behind Electric Avenue, destroying two apartment buildings and a house. The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette the cost of the collapse, including housing the displacement of residents, would cost $10 million to $12 million.

And even with flood insurance, residents are still paying for the effects of flooding by potentially giving up their beloved homes.

“With the landsliding that occured this year because of the wet conditions, the costs are several times the amount that the City of Pittsburgh had budgeted for a landslide like that,” Pisarcik said. “Not only is there a monetary cost, but there’s also people who are gonna have to leave grandma’s home or the home they grew up in because the neighborhood is not gonna be the same.

There’s gonna be a lot of transformations in communities, too, that’s gonna be hard to put a dollar value on.”

Schneider’s, pg. 1 Pitt students and dining employees visited Schneider’s Dairy and Bergbigler Farm on Oct. 26, led by Pitt dining sustainability coordinator Nick Goodfellow.

“A big part of [the Real Food Challenge] was working with chefs, working with students, working with our distributors and vendors … like Schneider’s to understand a lot more about their sourcing and their business practices to determine whether the product counted as real,” he said.

In order to have enough product to supply such a large area, Schneider’s Dairy works with about 60 different Pennsylvania farmers. As all of their raw milk comes from local farms, Schneider’s Dairy is a Pennsylvania Preferred company, certified by the state’s Department of Agriculture.

One of Schneider’s local partners is the Bergbigler family, which operates a farm in Butler County, home to about 100 cows.

Mary Beth Guynup, the fourth-generation owner of Bergbigler farms, runs an almost entirely female farm. Her father, Leroy Bergbigler, is the only male that works — or lives, in the case of the cows — on the farm.

“We don’t keep boys. Boys have no real value to us,” Guynup said. “We artificially breed all of our cows so we don’t even need a bull.”

The dairy industry can be backbreaking work. No matter what happens in their personal lives, at least one of the Bergbigler family must be at their farm to look after the herd and make sure they are milked at the scheduled times.

“We rarely leave. One of us is almost always here,” explained Guynup. “If something comes up, if someone gets married, one us stays behind.”

All Schneider’s Dairy farms are required to sign an affidavit stating their cows are raised without rBST hormones. Although there are no reports of rBST causing adverse health effects from consuming milk from cows treated with rBST, Schneider family member and marketing manager Justin Schneider said the farm bans rBST. “There hasn’t been any proven significant difference between those that use the rBST and those that don’t,” Schneider, who has worked for the company for the last 15 years, said. “We’re just not willing to take that chance at this point.”

In order to limit the dangers of dairy

November 8, 2018

products, Bergbigler Farm processes raw milk through a series of metal pipes that cool the milk to 45 degrees down from the 102-degree body temperature of the cow.

After cooling, the milk is added to a large stainless steel container. At no point during this process does the milk get handled by any people.

“Within one minute of that milk leaving that cow,” Leroy explained, “it’s out here and it’s less than 45 degrees.”

The automation and rapid cooling extend the shelf life of the milk and help keep it free of contaminants. When milk is collected by a hauling contractor and taken to Schneider’s Dairy, the raw milk from multiple farms is mixed together in a large truck.

“We don’t touch it until everything passes,” plant manager Joe Noro said.

“Once it’s passed … we’ll put it in one of the three tanks we have.”

After it is determined to be free of contaminants, the milk is stored in large tanks.

From these tanks it is homogenized, pasteurized, skimmed and bottled as it passes through an automatic assembly line. The assembly lines at Schneider’s snake back and forth around the processing plant with skimmers and pasteurizers placed at convenient locations.

While the machines are placed at sensible locations along the assembly line, in order to get anywhere within the plant workers are forced to double back on themselves repeatedly as they navigate the maze of pipes and production lines. Although the business has expanded many times, Schneider’s continues to operate out of a building that was constructed in 1939, adapting to the available space.

The full bottles are then placed in crates, which are transported in stacks into an enormous walk-in fridge where workers position the stacks for easy removal so they can be distributed around the area — eventually ending up in milk cartons and dining halls across the region. Schneider’s boasts that its local business model gets milk from farms to stores in less than 24 hours.

Connie Oshop, the Schneider’s farm inspector who has worked with the company and its partners for 20 years, agrees with the family that it’s best to use local dairy products.

“The Schneiders have always believed it’s more about the family and the families making a living and providing a good product,” Oshop said.

Opinions from the editorial board

Sessions’ resignation could curb Russia investigation The country came out of midterm elections with a new Congress, and President Donald Trump also seems to have walked away a changed person — more defensive and aggressive than we’ve seen him lately.

The day after elections, the president gave an unusually long and combative news conference and then ousted his first and most ardent congressional supporter when he requested that Attorney General Jeff Sessions resign. The day’s events showed a president who feels trapped by an FBI investigation that is slowly drawing to a close and a Democratic majority in the House of Representatives.

During the news conference, Trump got aggressive with reporters, calling CNN’s Jim Acosta “a rude, terrible person,” and telling a female reporter to “sit down.” More significant, however, was the way he threatened a “warlike posture” against the Democratic House majority if it uses its newly won power to investigate corruption within his administration and his personal finances, which Democratic leaders have already said they would pursue.

“I could fire everybody right now, but I don’t want to stop it [the Russia investigation] because politically, I don’t like stopping it,” the president said. “It’s a disgrace. It should never have been started, because there is no crime.”

Evidently, the possibility of further investigations has Trump worried.

He responded to this newfound instability in the way he knows best — by creating more chaos. After the news conference he requested the resigna-

tion of Sessions, who complied. The actual resignation isn’t shocking.

Since Sessions recused himself from overseeing the investigation into possible collusion between the Trump 2016 presidential campaign — which Sessions was a part of — and Russia, many speculated his time with the Department of Justice would be short-lived.

The problem that arises from Sessions’ exit is about who would have control over Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation. Sessions’ chief of staff, Matthew Whitaker, will be stepping into the position of attorney general until Trump finds a replacement. Whitaker has been vocally against the probe. In a 2017 oped written before he worked for the government, Whitaker demanded that Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein curb the investigation.

“Mueller has come up to a red line in the Russia 2016 election-meddling investigation that he is dangerously close to crossing,” he wrote.

Now, Whitaker is temporarily in charge of the Justice Department and has control over Rosenstein — he could rein in the investigation if he or the president want.

Trump may be nervous about the possibility of more investigations, but he seems to have a plan. And it would be a major defeat of our justice system and our democracy if the investigation was allowed to just peter out without any conclusions made or repercussions faced, as he seems to intend. There’s no justice in a Justice Department that doesn’t go after the truth.

The 2018 midterm elections were an informal referendum on many things, from President Donald Trump’s administration’s policies to Republican attempts to repeal the Affordable Care Act. But one of the issues the Republican party focused on in these midterm elections was immigration — and Republican rhetoric on this issue continued to reveal how white nationalism, a kind of nationalism centered on the supposed inferiority of minorities, is seeping into the party.

The Republican party has had members who ascribe to this ideology among its elected officials for a long time. Iowa Congressman Steve King, first elected in 2002, has made a num-

ber of controversial statements over the years. He suggested on the House floor in 2006 that the top of a border fence should be electrified to discourage people from fooling around with it because “we do that with livestock all the time,” and in 2008 declared that an Obama victory would result in “al-Qaeda … dancing in the streets in greater numbers than they did on September 11 because they would declare victory in this war on terror.”

As recently as the 2016 Republican National Convention, King asked a panel on MSNBC to go back through history and find an example of “contributions that have been made by these other categories of people.”

King is not alone in making these kinds of statements. In 2016, Maine See Lindstrom on page 6

Global Entrepreneurship Week Comes to Pitt Nick Zarras

Next week marks the start of Global Entrepreneurship Week (GEW), for which people in more than 170 countries take part in thousands of events and competitions to inspire millions to engage in entrepreneurial activity. Beginning on Monday, Nov. 12, Pitt will partner with Carnegie Mellon to host several interactive events for all students, both graduate and undergraduate, to connect participants to potential collaborators, mentors and investors.

The Pitt x CMU collaboration presents the unique case of two universities combining efforts for GEW. The Big Idea Center for student entrepreneurship at the Pitt Innovation Institute, and Carnegie Mellon’s Swartz Center for Entrepreneurship, have pooled their resources to ensure that all students will get the best experience possible, including a little friendly competition. Starting next Monday, all students from both campuses will be welcome to participate in the event’s events and competitions. Registration is already open and can be accessed online.

Kicking off GEW will be Steel City Startups, with TED Talk-style presentations from four Pitt and CMU startup success stories, followed by a facilitated Q&A. The event will take place on Monday, Nov. 12, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. in Alumni Hall on Pitt’s campus. Each startup will give a 10- to 15-minute talk on the opportunities and challenges they may have faced getting to where they are today. Utkars Jain and Adam Butchy will present on Heart I/O, Nicki Zevola will present Future Derm, Matt Kesinger will present Forest Devices, and Courtney Williamson will talk about

Abilife. They will provide some great takeaways for students who have ideas of their own, especially since many of the speakers are current or past Pitt or CMU students.

Anyone may attend Steel City Startups, and a networking reception will take place at the start of the event.

On Tuesday, the action moves down the road to Carnegie Mellon’s brand new Tepper Quad, where the PDMA Pitch Competition will take place. From 5:30 to 7:30 p.m., eight top teams, two graduate and two undergraduate teams each from Pitt and CMU, will have 90 seconds to pitch their innovative ideas to an expert panel of judges. Qualifying has already taken place and the teams are all set, but anyone can register and watch the friendly competitive spirit between the two Oakland campuses. The winning teams will receive cash prizes as well as various resources from sponsors.

Wednesday comes back over to Pitt, where Pittsburgh Good Neighbors: Social Impact Fireside Chat will take place from 5:30 to 7 p.m. in the O’Hara Student Center.

The Fireside Chat will revolve around Ian Rosenberger, founder and CEO of Thread International. Rosenberger’s journey began when he visited Haiti and saw how much plastic waste there was. Thread International creates thread from these recyclable bottles and sells it to larger companies such as Patagonia for use in its products. It is a great example of a successful “social enterprise” company that can help others solve a problem while also turning a profit. Anyone is welcome to join a conversation with four Pittsburgh investors who have helped Thread International’s journey from idea to impact: Zach Malone of Draper Triangle,

Nicole Muise-Kielkucki of Idea Foundry, Lisa Kuzma of the Richard King Mellon Foundation, and Matt Madia of Bridgeway Capital.

On Thursday, registration is still open for the Startup Job Fair. Hosted by CMU, the job fair is the only event of its kind in Pittsburgh that is specifically for students looking for positions with startup companies. Any Pitt student can attend, with attending startups looking to hire full-time,

November 8, 2018

part-time and interns from a wide array of majors.

Finally, on Friday, Pitt students can register for a site visit with startup Niche or Treatspace. This will let students hear what it is like working for a startup from the teams themselves.

Global Entrepreneurship Week offers many options for Pitt students to find their inner entrepreneur, and the Big Idea Center encourages everyone to take part.

Lindstrom, pg. 4 Gov. Paul LePage said “You shoot at the enemy. You try to identify the enemy. And the enemy right now, the overwhelming majority of people coming in are people of color or people of Hispanic origin.”

But since the election of President Trump, these figures have gone from the fringes of the party to a central part of Republican rhetoric. The president famously began his campaign saying Mexicans are “bringing drugs, they’re bringing crime, they’re rapists and some, I assume, are good people.”

He took several days to denounce the white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, declaring that there were “fine people” on both sides.

This sets a precedent — and in 2018, we saw the effects of such rhetoric.

In Illinois’ 3rd Congressional District, Republican candidate Arthur Jones had a section of his website titled “Holocaust?” that featured documents denying the Holocaust ever even happened.

And Russell Walker, the Republican candidate in a heavily Democratic North Carolina state House district, stated on his website that Jews are satanic and openly believes that “someone or group has to be supreme and that group is the whites of the world.”

Both of these candidates lost their bid for election. But Jones was able to secure almost 27 percent of the vote and Walker was able to secure 37 percent of the vote.

Jones and Walker ran in districts that typically go Democratic and don’t usually run Republican candidates, but this phenomenon is not merely confined to this kind of district. The Republican nominee for U.S. Senate in Virginia, Corey Stewart, referred to his fellow Republicans as “weak” for apologizing too quickly following the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville. Rather than denounce the rally as a display of racism, he made several joint appearances with the organizers

pittnews.com

of the rally. Even though he did not win, he received 41 percent of the vote.

These increasingly racially charged statements were not confined to losers either. Florida’s next governor, Ron DeSantis, invoked racial slurs when he said voters should not “monkey this up” by electing his African-American opponent, Andrew Gillum.

The Republican party cannot stop these candidates from running for office. But there are many things the Republican party and its leaders could be doing to distance themselves from these candidates. The Illinois Republican party said nothing as Jones gathered signatures to run, did not challenge the signatures when he submitted them and didn’t even run any other candidates against him in the primary. The party even failed to organize a write-in campaign for the general election, leaving Republicans in the district with little choice but to support a Holocaust-denier for Congress.

Jones ended up getting more than 56,000 votes. While he was officially denounced by the Illinois Republican Party, it undertook no action to demonstrate to voters that he does not represent Republican, conservative values. In Virginia, Stewart wasn’t even denounced. After his victory in the June primary, Trump pronounced loud support for him.

This does not mean that all members of the Republican party are inherently racist by nature. But the 2018 campaign season has proven that racists, bigots and white nationalists are beginning to see the Republican party as a place for their platform. The Republican party must say one thing loud and clear — racism and bigotry in any form should not be accepted in the Republican party, and candidates like Jones and Stewart do not represent American values.

The GOP must take coherent action to stop candidates like these from using their platform. Until it does, we must continue to vote against it in every election.

Rami Malek shines in ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ Darren Campuzano Staff Writer

There’s a scene in the new film “Bohemian Rhapsody” in which Freddie Mercury (Rami Malek) rehearses in the mirror and finds his vocal exercises hindered by voice cracks, attributed to his recent diagnosis of AIDS. He turns back to see two of his many cats silently mocking him.

“You think you can do better?” Mercury said. “Everyone’s a critic.”

In fact, it does seem that everyone is a critic, as this film included criticism from all directions — from the pub-goers who heckle Mercury’s initial on-stage awkwardness as the new frontman of the legendary rock band Queen back when it was still called Smile to Ray Foster (Mike Myers), the EMI label exec who declares no radio station will dare play the band’s records.

Though Fox lists Bryan Singer as the director, he was replaced mid-way through production by Dexter Fletcher. Due to a rule set by the Directors’ Guild of America, Singer still received the credits for directing the film. An article from Variety describes that Singer wanted to put the film on hiatus due to personal issues, but when that was not possible, Fox replaced him with Fletcher.

This “everyone’s a critic” claim has continued off-screen, with The New York Times writing that it’s “engineered to be as unmemorable as possible, with the exception of the prosthetic teeth worn by the lead actor,” while Indiewire claims the “lazy biopic is too much Killer and not enough Queen,” suggesting the film’s directors didn’t capture Mercury’s sexuality.

Here’s the thing — in the film, Malek’s Freddie Mercury belittles critics of all kinds, from a simple house cat to someone in the mosh pit who’s had too many drinks. His spot-on portrayal of the mustachioed frontman comes out on top in this film.

Singer takes the time to highlight the weight Mercury placed on his sexuality, his repressed feelings for other men and his tireless search for a lover that could support his wild rock-star ambitions.

Further, the film succeeds in making the viewer feel for Mercury, mainly due to the writing and Malek’s performance.

We feel Mercury’s fuming anger when his backstabbing partner, Paul Prenter (Allen Leech) deliberately chooses not to tell him about Live Aid, one of the grandest gigs of Queen’s existence. We feel the shock and frustration of Mercury hearing that his former girlfriend, Mary Austin (Lucy Boynton), has found a new love. And we feel Mercury’s exasperation as he answers journalists’ questions that only pertain to rumors of his failing health and unhinged sex life instead of the band’s latest album, “Hot Space.”

But at the same time, Singer presents the often unspoken challenges Mercury faced regarding his relationship with his father.

Singer does not overlook the lead singer’s strive to please his father, who can’t get on board with his son’s life on tour or his decision to ditch the family name, “Bulsara,” for something more his speed. The inclusion of these powerful interpersonal relationships makes the film all the more intimate.

In one of the film’s earliest scenes, Malek’s character explains to the band’s potential manager that “we’re four misfits who don’t belong together. We’re playing for other misfits and the outcasts right in the back of the room. We’re pretty sure they don’t belong either. We belong to them.”

Since losers turn into something greater in this film, it’s only fitting that one of the last songs viewers hear is the Live Aid version of “We Are The Champions.” Credit goes to the director for choosing not to end “Bohemian Rhapsody” with a bedridden Mercury — but presenting a triumphant Freddie Mercury in front of thousands of outcasts, possibly feeling more powerful than before.

Soul-warming drinks that aren’t pumpkin spice The Pitt News Staff

After what felt like a never-ending heat wave, fall has finally taken over here in Pittsburgh. The trees are turning to lovely shades of auburn and the wind is chilling. But most importantly, Starbucks has whipped out its extensive holiday menu and festive cups. Among the many wintery flavors like peppermint mocha, salted caramel and gingerbread, pumpkin spice remains one of the top flavors requested not just at Starbucks, but at most coffee shops from Dunkin’ to Crazy Mocha.

Starbucks regulars may forget that there are other drinks to keep you warm through the cold Oakland nights ahead — and many of the following drinks are easier on the wallet too.

Apple cider It’s a classic. It’s like apple juice, but sweeter, crisper, smoother and just generally better. It tastes good hot or cold, and you can buy it in a jug. For the aver-

age broke college student at Pitt, a walk down to Groceria Merante on South Oakland’s Bates Street can end with an entire gallon of liquid apple-gold for the price of a single pumpkin spice latte.

Some like the fluffiness of the whipped cream that comes with a good old PSL and luckily, whipped cream is just as good on top of a hot cup of cider. Drip some caramel on there, too, if you’ve really got a sweet tooth — this

will create a DIY version of the Starbucks caramel apple spice. For the over21 crowd, an evening of holiday-cookie baking, Christmas movie-bingeing or crying over upcoming finals with friends can be spiced up with hot cider mixed with rum and a little bit of brown sugar, cinnamon, butter and a few other ingredients — creating a cozy cocktail for a nippy night.

Spiced chai tea latte

Just take a sip — that’s right. It tastes like fall if pumpkin spice lattes never existed. The cinnamon, the creamy milk, the ginger, cloves and vanilla make for an excellent combination of all the sweet flavors your grandma used when cooking Thanksgiving desserts — only better, because it’s in hot liquid form.

If you’re a caffeine addict, take it to the next level and add an espresso shot to make it a “dirty” chai.

Herbal tea Herbal teas are among the most underrated beverages out there. They can be found in practically every flavor, from peppermint to ginger to lavender to cinnamon spice. Most herbal teas don’t contain caffeine, so they are a perfect way to wind down after a long study session.

They also achieve the difficult task of creating many different flavors without sweeteners — real or artificial.

Knights knock off Panthers, 61-58, in first game Dominic Campbell Staff Writer

In the Petersen Events Center, filled with more than 8,000 grade-school students from around the Pittsburgh area, the Pitt women’s basketball team lost a 61-58 nailbiter to the University of Central Florida in the annual school-day game Wednesday morning.

The game, which started at 11 a.m., swayed back and forth throughout, with both teams going on runs and taking control at different points. It was also the Panthers’ opening game of the season and their first official game under new head coach Lance White. White said the game exceeded his expectations in terms of the atmosphere and emotion.

“There was a lot of emotion being the first time, the first collegiate game as a head coach. It really exceeded my expectations of how many people they put in here,” White said. “That was really awesome to see and to give those kids a chance to be on our campus and get to see women’s basketball live.”

Senior forward Kauai Bradley scored Pitt’s inaugural points of 2018, making two layups to start the game. Redshirt senior guard Aysia Bugg drained a 3-pointer and senior guard Cassidy Walsh also made a layup, spurring an early 11-3 lead for the Panthers.

The Knights struggled throughout the quarter, going an abysmal 1-12 from the field. The only saving grace of the quarter was redshirt junior forward Touloupe Omokore going 3-4 from the foul line.

Pitt used its defense to take control in the first quarter. The Panthers outrebounded UCF 11-7 and also tallied three blocks compared to none for UCF. A combination of tough defense and the Knights’ poor shooting led to a 12-5 Panther lead after one quarter.

Pitt continued its momentum going into the next quarter, embarking on a 10-6 run — which included 3-pointers from both Walsh and Bugg — to take a 22-11 lead.

The Knights were determined not to let

Kacee Orwig | staff photographer this game slip away as they came storming back after the run, starting a 13-4 run of their own. Senior guard Jamesha Paul led the way, scoring six points on 3-4 shooting in the quarter. A buzzer-beater from senior guard Kayla Thigpen finished the run and closed the gap to a 26-24 lead for Pitt going into halftime.

Pitt again came out sluggish in the second half, letting the Knights go on an 11-4 run to take the lead for the first time since the opening minute of the game at 35-30.

Instrumental in that run was senior guard Sydnee McDonald, who contributed her first stats of the game with a 3-pointer and a layup.

Despite giving up the lead, the Panthers came roaring back, taking a 16-6 run with them into the fourth quarter. Both Walsh and Bradley hit 3-pointers, as well as sophomore guard Kyla Nelson. Junior guard Jasmine Whitney sunk five of her six free throws in the quarter and had three assists to bring her total up to five, bringing Pitt into the fourth quarter with a 46-41 lead.

UCF junior guard Kay Kay Wright was the ultimate difference-maker in the fourth quarter. While she struggled through the

first three quarters, going 3-12 from the field and 0-4 from 3-point range, Wright led the way in the fourth, scoring 13 of the 17 points in the quarter for UCF. “I would just say communication and transition,” Whitney said about having trouble defending Wright in the fourth.

“She kind of broke us down in transition a lot and we kind of had some defensive breakdowns there in transition at the end.

Little things we just gotta change.”

She started early by making a foul shot and then two buckets. She was countered by Walsh, who hit a 3-point shot to make it 5046 Pitt. This was her third 3-pointer of the game — the most in her career as a Panther.

The game continued to go back and forth — Whitney made two foul shots, Wright hit another jumper, UCF sophomore forward Masseny Kaba made a foul shot and then Bradley made a layup to keep it at 54-49.

Then the Knights took over, getting a huge 3-pointer by none other than Wright, followed by an and-one play layup by McDonald. That play gave UCF a 55-54 lead with 3:48 remaining in the game.

Bugg helped the Panthers stay in winning position down the stretch as she scored

two jumpers, with both giving her team the lead back. Her final basket gave the Panthers a 58-57 lead with 1:53 to go.

Unfortunately for Pitt, bad time management and poor shot selection ended their chances to win. On the ensuing UCF possession, senior forward Danielle Garven committed a shooting foul on Kaba — her fifth foul of the game. It ended Garven’s day, which ended up as a disappointment since she only had four points after scoring 20 against Gannon last week. Kaba hit both free throws, making it 59-58 UCF. The Panthers would get a chance to take the lead when Whitney shot a wide open 3-pointer with 23 seconds left, but she missed it and Bradley fouled Paul on the rebound.

Paul only made her second free throw, giving the Knights a two-point lead. Pitt looked to tie the next time down the court, with Whitney again trying to make a shot from midrange, but it was blocked by McDonald. While she shot well from the foul line — going 7-9 — and had six assists, Whitney had a tough day overall, making only one of her nine shots from the field and turning it over four times.

After getting a jump ball, Pitt fouled Wright and sent her to the line. Wright made her first, but missed the second, meaning the Panthers had 19 seconds left to tie the game and send it to overtime.

Trailing by three, Bugg tried and failed to get a screen from her teammates, so she shot a desperation heave with four seconds remaining. Nelson got the rebound off the miss and kicked the ball back out to Bugg for one last chance, only for her last shot to miss as well, ending the game in a loss.

“Well, we didn’t have any timeouts,” Bugg said about the last possession. “We had to shoot the 3 … they kind of defended that well so we just shot the best shot we could get after that.”

The Panthers will be looking to get their first win of the season when they take on the New Orleans Privateers 4 p.m. Friday at the Petersen Events Center.

TAKE 5:

BAMA, BLUE DEVILS, BRYANT The Pitt News Staff

pittnews.com

This week in sports, two dominant college programs — one in football, one in basketball — staked their claim as the best, while Pitt’s notso-dominant 2017 basketball team looks to shine in 2018. Our weekly Take 5 covers these topics and more.

Blue Devil’s advocate The college basketball season tipped off Monday night and — as they have for the past seven years — Duke, Kansas, Michigan State and Kentucky played in the Champions Classic, an annual doubleheader featuring these four historic programs. Since they are perennial championship contenders, these star-studded non-conference games are typically a good indicator of who will still be playing late into March.

One team left no doubt that it should be the favorite to cut down the nets in Minneapolis — the Duke Blue Devils. No. 4 Duke opened its season with a statement win, routing No. 2 Kentucky 118-84. The Blue Devils boast an obscene amount of talent, highlighted by three first-year, top-five recruits in Zion Williamson, RJ Barrett and Cam Reddish — all of whom are projected to be lottery picks in next summer’s NBA draft.

Barrett and Williamson both beat the school record for points by a first-year in their debut.

Williamson scored 28 with seven rebounds, while Barrett added 33 points and six assists.

Most teams would be more than happy to enter a season ranked in the top four, but Duke almost seemed insulted. The Blue Devils played fast and angry, clearly trying to prove that they’re not just good — they’re great. They can shoot, they’re athletic, and they have a hall of fame coach at the helm. Duke deserves a No. 1 ranking and should be the favorite to win it all.

— Stephen Thompson, Staff Writer Forgot about Klay You likely heard about Klay Thompson’s epic performance on Oct. 29, when he buried an NBA single-game record 14 3-pointers during a 149-124 win over the Bulls. He finished with 52 points that night, writing his name in the record books.

It takes a very special player to do that, but because Thompson is probably the fourth-best player on a ridiculous Warriors squad, many view him as a role-player. But Thompson is capable of carrying his own team to the playoffs, given the chance to be the first option.

Thompson is more than just a glorified Kyle

November 8, 2018

Korver or JJ Redick. Those type of players generally average around 13 to 16 points per game, but Klay has been averaging at least 20 a game for years now, which is especially impressive given the amount of shots that Curry and Durant take.

On his own team, it is entirely plausible that he averages north of 25 points per game. Many will point to the fact that Thompson is assisted on many of his points, claiming he’s merely a catch-and-shooter. But he has proven time and time again that he is more than capable of creating his shot, expanding his driving and midrange capabilities in recent years, all while maintaining his 3-point prowess. On top of that, he remains one of the league’s best perimeter defenders. If you still don’t think Klay Thompson can carry his own team, it’s time to wake up.

— Jack Clay, Staff Writer Alabama is just Tua good The undefeated Alabama Crimson Tide is once again showing the college football universe why it is one of the favorites to win another College Football Playoff Championship. This juggernaut has steamrolled through opponents by an average margin of 37.2 points. Saturday night’s game in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, proved to the world how good this Alabama team really is and left everyone asking the question — can anyone beat Bama?

Saturday night featured a primetime matchup between two bitter SEC West rivals, No. 1 Alabama and No. 3 LSU. This marquee matchup was supposed to be the first true challenge for the Crimson Tide, yet they dominated the Tigers throughout the entire game. Alabama beat LSU 29-0 in its own stadium and outgained the Tigers 576 to 196 yards.

The closest margin of victory for the Crimson Tide this season came against Texas A&M, when the Tide won by 22 points. Star sophomore quarterback and Heisman-favorite Tua Tagovailoa has thrown for 27 touchdowns and just threw his first and only interception of the season Saturday. Tagovailoa played in the fourth quarter for the first time all season — and it was only because backup Jalen Hurts was injured. The main critique of Alabama was that it was cruising through easy teams on its schedule. After watching the same outcome happen against a formidable LSU team, I can’t see any team in all of college football beating head coach Nick Saban and his Crimson Tide.
