PA PRIMARIES SHAKE UP THE STATE

SURVIVORS, SUPPORTERS RACE FOR THE CURE IN SCHENLEY

STORMY DANIELS PERFORMS IN PITTSBURGH Christian Snyder Editor-in-Chief Storms have been in Pittsburgh’s forecast ever since spring broke — but May 3 and 4 held a different kind of storm in Downtown’s forecast.

The adult film actress Stormy Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, performed two shows on both Wednesday and Thursday at Blush, a strip club on 9th Street. Clifford allegedly had a consensual affair with President Donald

Trump in 2006 and announced Monday that she is suing the president for defamation regarding one of his tweets. In her first show Thursday, she donned an American flag when she entered the stage — for her later show, she showed up in a red sequined dress and matching firefighter hard hat.

She’s an icon in the adult entertainment industry, and Blush dancer Molina proudly showed off the photo she got with Clifford.

“She was so nice. She’s just amazing,” she said.

Blush was one of more than 25 stops on Clifford’s “Make America Horny Again” tour — a reference to her ongoing feud with President Donald Trump. And in between her two nights of performance in Pittsburgh, she made national headlines again.

She took the stage Wednesday just 10 minutes after President Trump’s newly appointed lawyer Rudy Giuliani revealed to Sean Hannity of Fox See Daniels on page 2

Amber Baker led her team of “Bosom Buddies” through Schenley Park this Mother’s Day with her daughter, Angelina Chertik, who traveled across the state from Philadelphia to attend the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure, an annual 5K run that raises money and awareness for breast cancer.

Baker, a 55-year-old resident of Ellwood City and two-time breast cancer survivor, first beat the disease in 2010 and again in 2017. Chertik and her friend Rosemary Kennedy wanted to run the race back in Philadelphia, but instead they decided to come to Pittsburgh and run the race together as “Amber’s Bosom Buddies.”

Baker, Chertik and the “Bosom Buddies” were just a few of the crowd of about 18,000 in attendance, including approximately 2,000 breast cancer survivors.

Baker’s team started a fundraiser page through the Susan G. Komen website to help raise money before the event with a goal of $250. They raised more than five times that goal with a total of $1,400.

“We just want to raise awareness and try to find a cure so nobody has to worry about it,” Chertik said.

News that the president had reimbursed his personal lawyer $130,000 for a hush payment made to Clifford just months before the 2016 election.

Trump told reporters last month he knew nothing of the payment and maintained that assertion throughout Wednesday.

The next morning, the president’s tone shifted, as he said via Twitter that he was aware Cohen paid Clifford and that he reimbursed Cohen through a series of monthly retainer fees.

But for a lot of the dancers who work at Blush, none of the controversy was a priority — in fact, having Clifford there didn’t even feel that different from a busy weekend night for Amber, who started working at Blush 10 years ago.

“The thing is, she’s been here before,” Amber said, referencing two previous times Clifford performed at Blush. “It’s just what she does.”

Amber is admittedly “anti-Trump” but said she and her coworkers represent a broad range of political beliefs — including “pro-Trump” dancers like Scarlet.

Race, pg. 1 with registration at 6:30 a.m., followed by the first race of the day — the Kids’ Dash — at 7:30 a.m.

The morning also included a Survivors & Thrivers Parade at 7:50 a.m. The main event — the 5K Competitive Run — started at 8:35 a.m. and the morning wrapped up with the 5K Walk and One Mile Fun Walk at 8:45 a.m. in Schenley Park.

Sarah Salem, 35, made a cross-country journey from San Jose, California, to run in the race — a tradition she’s maintained for 21 years. Salem and her mother began running the race in 1997 when her mother was diagnosed with breast cancer. Since her mother’s death in 2009, Salem has continued the tradition with a team of seven to 15 people.

“It was something that was important to her.

I think that she just wants us to remember her and pray for her,” Salem said. “So we do that all the time, but this race is kind of a way to keep the memory alive, but more importantly support the cause.”

Don Menovich, 54, was a volunteer for the event from the South Hills. He came out because he lost his wife to breast cancer.

there doing that, but money is money,” Lang said.

Ten minutes before her performance began, Clifford walked backstage with a bodyguard, a basket full of props and two assistants.

While a voice over the loudspeaker introduced Clifford’s accomplishments and claims to fame — emphasizing that she “trumped the competition” at the annual Adult Video News Awards and starred in the most-watched episode of CNN’s “60 Minutes” — people in the packed audience began waving their money in the air, rising to give Clifford a standing ovation.

Someone at a VIP table held up a green T-shirt with a caricature of Trump wearing a clown nose.

Isaac took his front-row seat — a ticket worth $40 — and went to the bar to order a drink. He set his drink down and neatly placed a stack of dollar bills on top of his freshly signed copy of “Fire and Fury.” When Clifford came out from backstage, Isaac — and the rest of the front row — grabbed a handful of bills and started tipping.

She will continue her “Make America Horny Again” tour this week in Oregon.

“I couldn’t condemn him for something he did 20 years ago,” Scarlet said. “Anyway, [the tour] is just a money-making pit. If you were that woman, wouldn’t you use this to your advantage?”

Scarlet was on the third floor of the strip club sharing a drink with a regular customer while Clifford finished her first performance of the night. When Scarlet went to the bar to order some french fries, she stopped, noticing a man holding a book under his arm. The bright red text above President Trump’s furrowed brow on the cover is already iconic — “Fire and Fury,” by Michael Wolff, an account of the president’s behavior through his first year in office.

“I wanted to get it signed, of course,” the man told Scarlet. “Have you read it?”

Isaac, the man who was holding the book, is a graduate student at Carnegie Mellon University studying politics. He declined to provide his last name and year of study, citing professional concerns. While waiting in line for a chance to meet Clifford, he said one of his professors contemplated having her as a guest speaker in class but balked at the idea of registering the event with

university administration.

“So I came to ask her in person, ‘Will you come teach one of our classes?’” he said, laughing. “I’m not much of a strip club guy, but I had to come see this.”

Isaac’s book wasn’t the only iconic political symbol Clifford signed last night. Before him in line was a man with a handful of signed magazines, which he carefully placed in a padded envelope, and several bright red “Make America Great Again” hats, which he nestled in a backpack.

But everyone had a different reason for buying a ticket. For Derek Lang, the special guest was enough to get him back to the club he hadn’t visited in years.

“I used to come here when it was the Edison Hotel,” he said, a name the 9th Street building retained until 2000. Lang, 47, moved to Florida for 25 years, but has always been a devoted Pittsburgher — proving it with a Pirates tattoo inside his lower lip and a Steelers tattoo on his left bicep. In vulgar terms, Lang said he came just to see who the president had sex with.

“I wouldn’t want anyone in my family up

“Breast cancer claims way too many lives, it’s an insidious disease, particularly how it progresses in women … and men,” Menovich said.

The CEO of the race in Greater Pennsylvania, Kathy Purcell, says it was her 11th race with the Komen organization, and talked about the importance of breast cancer awareness.

“You know survivors talk about it all the time, those who have been diagnosed… talk about that they can’t believe the amount of support they feel from everyone here. It’s really amazing to look around and see that all these people are here, helping us raise money and funds to help cure this disease,” Purcell said.

And while breast cancer is most common in women, one percent of cancer patients and survivors are male. One of those men was the 2018 chair of the race — Daniel Garcia, who was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 2011 at the age of 62.

“For about four or five months I ignored the lump that I had, right below my right nipple. I procrastinated. I said, ‘Guys don’t get breast cancer,’” Garcia said.

Garcia is also a forever fighter — meaning the cancer metastasized to other parts of his body.

He has since joined the Male Breast Cancer Co-

SA group of women at the 2018 Komen Pittsburgh Race for the Cure show their support holding a banner stating the event’s motto, “Be Bold. Be Fearless. Be More Than Pink.”

US made mistake in moving Israel embassy For the past seven weeks, protesters in and around Palestine have taken to the streets to demand their right to return to areas they were forcibly expelled from when the state of Israel was created. And on Monday, at least 60 protesters were killed by Israeli forces — the same day the United States officially moved its Israeli embassy to Jerusalem.

The city has served as a chaotic site of struggle for thousands of years, and the United States has long claimed to be an impartial mediator committed to building peace in the region — but any hopes of a compromise between Israel and Palestine were seemingly torn to shreds this week.

President Donald Trump officially announced U.S. recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel in 2017 when he announced his plan to move the U.S. Embassy — something Trump promised as part of his election campaign.

Many presidents before Trump could have moved the embassy under a 1995 law requiring the United States move its Israeli embassy to Jerusalem. But past presidents, including Barack Obama and George W. Bush, chose to issue waivers delaying action, citing national security interests. Obama warned against moving the embassy at his last press conference as president in January of 2017.

“When sudden unilateral moves are made that speak to some of the core issues and sensitivities of either side, that can be explosive,” he said.

Even if the move was meant as a step toward peace, as President Trump claims, the timing couldn’t be worse. The embassy was officially moved on Israel’s independence day, which is the day before Palestinian Nakba Day — a commemoration of Palestinians displaced from their homeland when the state of Israel was created May 15, 1948.

The Palestinian response to the move has

pittnews.com

been fueled by disbelief and anger. Husam Zomlot, the Palestinian ambassador to the United States, referred to it as “a blow to any prospects for peace.” Israeli groups in Israel have even protested the decision, with many left-wing activist groups taking to the streets of Jerusalem Saturday night.

The decision has also raised the ire of many Jewish Americans, like Rabbi Joseph Berman, government affairs manager for the national organization Jewish Voice for Peace.

Berman described the move as rash and unethical.

“Trump’s immoral and irresponsible move of the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem desecrates the city, goes against international consensus and contributes to the ongoing occupation and displacement of Palestinians,” Berman said.

And if the decision to move the embassy wasn’t enough to indicate American bias, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley defended Israel’s response, which resulted in the deaths of several teenagers and at least one infant who inhaled tear gas. At an emergency session of the U.N. Security Council on Monday, she denied that the violence in Gaza was related to the embassy move.

The U.N. itself has widely condemned the Trump administration’s decision to move the embassy, calling the U.S. decision “null and void.” On Tuesday, the United States blocked a resolution calling for an investigation into the Palestinian deaths.

In disregarding the stance taken by the rest of the international community, the United States has further damaged the Israeli-Palestinian peace process.

The United States has long acted as a driving force in international efforts to stabilize Israel and Palestine’s relationship — and in the matter of a few short days, the Trump administration upset decades of work toward peace.

PITT NEEDS TO PASS ON DINING PASSES

Grace McGinness For The Pitt News

When I packed up my bags and headed off to college, I knew it was the end of home-cooked dinners and my all-access pass to the kitchen. No longer would I be able to grab a slice of peanut butter toast on the go — I’d need to spend a whole meal swipe just to use a toaster.

But there was one issue I was completely unprepared for — wasting money by paying for food I never even got to eat.

Pitt’s meal plans are set up in a way that forces students to pay for a set number of meals in the dining hall before the semester even starts, and it’s hurting students.

The meal plan system is set up in five tiers that offer different combinations of Pitt’s two main dining currencies — dining dollars to be used at any of the campus coffee carts or convenience stores, and meal swipes for access to the dining halls. While these combinations may seem reasonable, it is far too easy for Pitt students — especially first-years, who are required to have a meal plan — to lose money on the dining passes.

One meal swipe gets students as much as they can eat at Pitt’s dining halls, Market Central and The Perch. Initially this appears to be the most valuable dining option for first years, as one meal swipe costs between $9 and $12. But meal swipes, unlike dining dollars, do not roll over between semesters during the school year — and an excess can easily build up, considering the on-the-go lifestyle of college students.

May 16, 2018

Vicky Wu, a rising senior double majoring in communication and psychology, finished her first year with 50 leftover meal swipes despite taking the lowest meal plan offered, losing an estimated $500.

“I used up my dining dollars fairly quickly because my classes weren’t spaced out enough [to have] time to sit down at Market or wait in the lines,” Wu said.

While dining dollars can accumulate the way meal swipes do, they’re valid for an entire school year — and can be spent at multiple locations around campus. In the next year, with Pitt set to open its own grocery store, these dining dollars will only become more valuable.

Since first-year students are required to have a meal plan, forfeiting meal swipes accumulates to a loss of hundreds of dollars that many students can’t afford.

Nearly four out of five college students are working part-time while in school, according to a 2013 study by Citi and Seventeen Magazine. The majority of these students use the money they make to pay for expenses such as books and tuition, and 41 percent of respondents put their hard-earned cash towards food.

Pitt should take note of this systematic waste of students’ money and reevaluate its meal plans. The simplest change to make would be to eliminate the meal swipe currency altogether, like at George Washington University, where students’ single-currency meal plans cover all dining locations on campus. Pitt could offer See McGinness on page 5

4

McGinness, pg. 4 students larger amounts of dining dollars per semester, which could also be used to pay for entry to a dining hall. Swiping $9 or more to get into the dining halls would be just as easy as giving a meal swipe.

Another solution would be to increase the number of places where a meal swipe can be used on campus. Pitt has already taken a step in this direction through the Meal-To-Go program available at Market-To-Go. Meal-To-Go allows students to purchase an entree, such as a sandwich or salad, two sides and a bottle of water for the equivalent of one swipe. Expanding this program so that it is available in other places on campus would ensure that students can more easily make use of their swipes.

Wu herself has used meal swipes to purchase Market-To-Go items frequently and said she would like to see the practice expanded to make the program more desirable to students.

“I feel like there could be more variety,” she said. “I think the inclusion of hot foods like soups or [chicken] tenders would be nice so people didn’t feel like

they were limited to only two options.”

Until Pitt takes steps to ensure its students don’t lose money through the meal plans it offers, students can try to avoid financial losses by utilizing the existing Meal-To-Go program.

Students can also try to anticipate an

excess of meal swipes and use them frequently early in the semester — unlike the swipes, it is easy to splurge on dining dollars when the semester ends and purchase food and toiletries for later.

Universities should do their best to ensure students’ needs are met — and

May 16, 2018

that their money isn’t wasted in the process. There’s certainly no shortage of food here at Pitt, but the way the meal plans are structured just doesn’t match up with the student lifestyle. In the interest of its students and their wallets, Pitt’s meal plan system must change.

Flawed Finale: Pappas bids adieu with Hamlet pittnews.com

DON’T CALL HER HONEY: ARTIST SPOTLIGHT ON CIARA GRAY

Siddhi Shockey Staff Writer

When she was a young artist in first grade, Ciara Gray brought an assignment to the front of the class to show the teacher her work — how she’d ripped a portrait from a magazine in half and pasted it to paper, sketching in the missing half of the model’s face.

Now, marks of Gray’s creativity are etched into her own skin — her arms are covered with tattoos featuring onions, butterflies and floral mandala designs, many of which she gave herself.

Gray graduated from Pitt in 2017 with degrees in studio arts and nonfiction writing, and has spent the last year of her life developing new artistic techniques and messages. She specializes in black line illustrations that explore her conceptions of femininity. She is entering her second year after graduating from Pitt with big artistic aspirations.

“I am delving more into gender and femininity, and that’s an important issue today,” Gray said.

These issues are apparent in her work, like in her piece called “Don’t Call Me Honey,” which shows a woman sitting splayed on the floor, her groin covered by a honeycomb and her breasts hidden behind a beehive and a flower. Bees fly around and under her body, as if she’s floating.

When Gray isn’t working part-time at Allegro Hearth Bakery in Squirrel Hill making cookies or baking bread, she is usually working on her art. In May, she will showcase some of her printmaking work at the Pittsburgh Center for the Arts in an exhibit called “Under the Blankets - Printmakers Together.” She was also featured at The Gallery 4’s 2017 Salon Show in Shadyside, which ran from May to June of 2017.

Ignacio Lopez, a 2016 Pitt graduate and fellow artist whose screen printing work will also be featured in “Under the Blankets - Printmakers Together” — reflected on the difficult yet fulfilling aspect of becoming a self-employed artist as one of Gray’s closest friends.

pittnews.com

Ciara Gray spends her post-graduation days baking bread at her part-time job, making art and, sometimes, power lunging. Jane Millard|Visual Editor “It’s always really interesting to see what happens after [art majors] graduate, because they go into the real world and there’s a lot to explore,” Lopez said. “It’s interesting to see how people interact with that outside of the classroom.”

Gray is the type of artist who prefers working outside of the classroom. When she earned a Brackenridge Summer Research Fellowship in 2016, she traveled to Wyoming to take part in a field course through the University Honors College. Inspired by the trip, she set out to create a handmade book filled with visual art and original writing. She called it “The Things I Remember.”

“I wanted to combine my love of art and writing, and play with the ways in which words and images communicate with an audience,” Gray said.

But had she earned that fellowship as a firstyear student, Gray might not have put it toward her artistic endeavors.

Despite having her family’s full support, Gray spent her first year at Pitt focusing on a business degree. She put art to the side while

she focused on a degree she thought would get her a job after graduation, doubting that a studio arts degree would lead to stable, prosperous employment in her future.

“I was really focused on getting a job — maybe even ‘the’ job,” Gray said. “And that didn’t work out.”

While sitting in business classes, Gray quickly found herself unable to study without doodling or drawing — her small, creative outlet before digging into monotonous calculus problems. Feeling overwhelmed by her dislike of math classes and the lack of creativity in her life, she decided to return to her roots and pursue a double major in studio arts and nonfiction writing.

Soon, she hopes to explore etching — an artistic style involving drawings on metals like copper, zinc and steel. But for now, she’s focused on a different kind of etching — tattooing. She’s starting an apprenticeship in tattoo artistry in the coming months, and as soon as her future tattoo shop allows, she will announce where she’ll be working.

She hopes tattooing will develop into a

May 16, 2018

long-term career opportunity, beyond just tattooing herself. Her style mostly consists of black line drawings of nature, like extensions of her other artwork.

Gray sees art as her main form of communication, whether it’s through her writing or her visual art. Going forward, she wants to keep making publicly accessible art and expand her reach the artistic community. But more than anything else, she hopes to continue to tell stories through her work.

“It’s about finding the idea and figuring out how you’re going to translate that into something that is actually doable, and then fighting it the whole way there until it comes into something that isn’t necessarily the thing that you started with,” Gray said. “But it’s still pretty cool in the end.”

Gray’s book, “Things I Remember” is on display at the Frick Fine Arts Library. Other pieces of Gray’s work can be found with other Pittsburgh printmakers through this summer.

“Under the Blankets - Printmakers Together” runs at the Pittsburgh Center for the Arts May 4-July 8.

PITT SOFTBALL LOSES ACC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME

Stephen Cuddy Staff Writer The Panthers softball team finished its most successful season yet with a 33-18-1 record, earning head coach Holly Aprile the ACC Coach of the Year honor. With two victories over Louisville earlier this month, the Panthers ended the season as ACC Coastal Champions for the first time in school history — and the No. 2 seed overall in the ACC tournament in Atlanta.

But even the ACC Coach of the Year couldn’t bring the Panthers their first national title after a 5-4 loss to Florida State in the ACC National Championship game Saturday.

Before the tournament began, the Panthers were decorated with a variety of ACC honors.

Giorgiana Zeremenko and Olivia Gray were both named All-ACC First Team, Kayla Harris was All-ACC Second Team and first-year Hunter

Levesque was named All-ACC First Team.

In the first game of the tournament Thursday night, the Panthers faced the Hokies of Virginia Tech, winning the game 6-4. The Panthers trailed 4-1 heading into the seventh, but a late five-run explosion — including a walk-off grand slam from senior third baseman McKayla Taylor — led them to victory.

Junior pitcher Sarah Dawson started and allowed four hits, one earned run and one strikeout in 4.2 innings pitched. Senior pitcher Harris threw 2.1 innings in relief, allowing three earned runs and four hits.

On the offensive side Taylor led the way, going 2-4 with four RBIs and one grand slam. Senior center fielder Erin Hershman also had an RBI, and junior second baseman Alexis Solak and sophomore designated player Kaitlyn Kruger also registered hits.

During the second game Friday afternoon against North Carolina, the Panthers coasted to a 3-0 victory on the back of Dawson’s shutout pitching performance — she allowed just two hits during seven innings.

Junior left fielder Taylor Meyers was 1-2 with two RBIs and Hershman continued her strong offensive weekend with a hit and another RBI. Levesque and Kruger both had a hit and scored a run.

Senior catcher Zeremenko and junior shortstop Olivia Gray also had one hit each. Zeremenko ended her collegiate softball career with a .323 batting average, 46 home runs and 127 RBIs. The final 3-0 result advanced the Panthers to Saturday afternoon’s final versus the Florida State Seminoles.

At the start of the sixth inning the game was still scoreless. The Panthers went for four runs in

the sixth inning, while the Seminoles earned only one — giving the Panthers what looked like an ample 4-1 lead into the seventh inning.

The Panthers went scoreless in the top of the seventh inning and soon allowed the Seminoles one run. Just one out away from the ACC title, Florida State’s Anna Shelnutt stepped up to the plate, hitting a three-run homer to take the lastminute victory 5-4.

Harris was solid on the mound for the vast majority of the day going into the final inning, allowing just one run. She ended the game with 6.2 innings pitched, five earned runs, 10 hits and three strikeouts. Her numbers for the end of the season are 140 hits allowed, 50 earned runs and 49 strikeouts in 134.2 innings pitched.

PITTSBURGH MARATHON DRAWS RUNNERS FROM AROUND THE WORLD Hannah Schneider Sports Editor Despite overcast skies, cool temperatures and the threat of rain, more than 37,000 people showed up at the starting line for the 10th annual Pittsburgh Marathon early Sunday morning.

The weekend of races, hosted by Pittsburgh Three Rivers Marathon, Inc., also drew a crowd of more than 200,000 spectators, a majority of which crowded around the starting point at Liberty and 10th Street Downtown. The route took runners to the North Side, through South Side, and around Oakland and East Liberty before returning back to Downtown.

local Kourtney Watkiss, remained positive despite the gloomy skies. She finished the half marathon with a time of 1:42:43. Compared to the weather at other marathons she’s participated in — like this year’s Boston Marathon on April 16 — Watkiss described the weather for Sunday’s race as “lucky.”

“Running Boston, it was about 38 degrees, it poured, and there were hurricane-force winds,” Watkiss said. “Having this was golden.

I was really happy that it didn’t rain.”

Race participants came from all 50 states.

White Sands, New Mexico, resident Dwight Rabe, 33, represented his state with a personal record-breaking time of 2:52:58 in the full marathon. It was his first time running in Pittsburgh — the active-duty Air Force airman had been looking for a new race to run during the springtime, and the Pittsburgh Marathon’s challenging course stood out.
