Fourth zika case in Allegheny The Allegheny County Health Department confirmed the fourth local case of Zika virus since the end of March Thursday.

Three weeks ago, a Pitt researcher accidentally stuck herself with a needle contaminated with Zika virus, according to a Pitt statement. The afflicted Pitt researcher no longer has any Zika symptoms.

According to Karen Hacker, director of the ACHD, “Despite this rare incident, there is still no current risk of contracting Zika from mosquitos in Allegheny County.”

The DOT will select the winner by the end of this month.

Pittsburgh’s smart city plan includes traffic signals that will use sensor detection to make traffic patterns more efficient, creating electric avenues to pilot self-driven vehicles and energy-saving streetlights that can “talk” to one another and monitor air quality. People with disabilities will be able to use their phones to signal for crossing the street. The plan also includes connecting Pittsburgh’s homeless community to public transit for free.

Celebration and grief mixed at Pittsburgh’s 2016 PrideFest after a mass shooting at the gay nightclub Pulse in Orlando, Florida, early Sunday morning. | by Alexa Baklarski

S

ilence preluded a day of hugging, dancing and glitter-coated streets.

Several thousand people stood quietly, holding rainbow flags or wearing them as capes. The 50 seconds of silence represented the 50 victims of the mass shooting at Pulse, a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida, early Sunday morning. With 50 deaths and 53 injuries, the incident was the worst mass shooting in U.S. history.

“How is this stuff still happening?” South Hills resident Meghan McGinley said about the Orlando shooting. “It’s 2016.”

Celebration and grief mixed Sunday during Pittsburgh’s 2016 Equality March and

PrideFest, as attendees cheered for the parade, watched live performances at the two stages bookending PrideFest and perused more than 150 tables set up along Liberty Avenue Downtown. Candlelight vigils for the victims of the Orlando mass shooting capped off the weekend with a somber tone.

“Let’s do our part to make this city a place where people can live with differences,” Candi Castleberry Singleton, the CEO of Dignity & Respect, said before the moment of silence.

After the silence ended, attendees quickly kicked off the festivities. In total, members of more than 100 organizations marched in the parade or tabled at PrideFest, including those

from the American Civil Liberties Union of Pennsylvania, Persad Center, Pittsburgh’s ScareHouse and American Eagle. Also present were members of the Animal Rescue League, the Community College of Allegheny County and Planned Parenthood.

Christine Bryan, director of marketing and development for Pittsburgh LGBTQ+ organization the Delta Foundation, said Pittsburgh PrideFest averages about 100,000 attendees and grows every year. According to Bryan, the large attendance amounts to a political statement, not just a popular event.

Jennifer Sikora, the chairperson for the western Pennsylvania chapter of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, said the atmosphere of the chapter’s first PrideFest was “super polite,” “warm” and “accepting.”

“Our country is in need of a leader who leads with compassion and not hate,” Rudiak said. “[Clinton] has been fighting for our rights and protection for years. She is with all of us.”

Eat smarter, not harder

LGBTQ+ victims deserve recognition, not erasure We all may be Americans, but not all of us are targeted simply for whom we love.

In the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history, Omar Mateen shot 49 people and wounded 53 others during a shooting spree at the Orlando, Florida gay nightclub Pulse early Sunday morning. Police shot and killed Mateen, ending a rampage many are labeling an act of domestic terrorism. What was once a sanctuary for dancing and expression for the LGBTQ+ community turned into a night of hate, fear and horrific violence.

Evidence that Mateen swore allegiance to ISIS before the shooting, was on the FBI watch list in 2003 and may have been a closeted homosexual himself has come to light as the investigation unfolds.

While the motivations remain unknown, the location of the attack at a gay nightclub is not random.

We have yet to confirm that this was an act of terror, but we know that the LGBTQ+ community was the target of this brutal attack. We have a long way to go to make LGBTQ+ members feel safe and equal in our society, and we cannot let partisanship dismiss the identities that needlessly cost these victims their lives.

This act of violence is one of countless hate crimes members of the LGBTQ+ community have faced for years — and one that we cannot afford to ignore. But if conservative politicians have their way, the focus would be on lost “Americans” rather than lost “LGBTQ+ people” — as if that is a distinction that does anything but ignore part of who those individuals were.

Very few Republican leaders were willing to acknowledge that the LGBTQ+ victims were just that — members of the LGBTQ+ community. Those who did mention the label appropriated the horrific incident to fit their own political cause. Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump congratulated himself for his own opinions on the shooting and Ted Cruz claimed that those who are pro-Muslim are anti-LGBTQ+.

Though they are quick to insult President

pittnews.com

Barack Obama for not using labels such as “radical jihadist terrorists,” they refuse to accurately label the victims who were murdered for their identity.

When we disregard the identities of those who were killed, it is not a message of solidarity — it is erasure. They were attacked for a reason, and that reason was intolerance toward different sexual orientations. This intolerance is not found in one single religion, it is found all over the world — including the United States.

In order to end these heinous hate crimes, we must admit and recognize that they exist. Yes, these victims were Americans, but they were Americans who faced pressures and violence many others never will. That is a distinction actually worth making.

According to a 2015 report by the FBI, 18.6 percent of the 5,462 single-bias hate crimes that occurred in 2014 were attributable to sexual orientation. Only 16 states have anti-discrimination laws that give protections on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity. Furthermore, over 100 anti-LGBTQ+ laws have been pending in various states since the beginning of the year — including the HB2 law in North Carolina, which bans transgender people from using restrooms that don’t correspond to their biological sex.

As Americans, we must recognize the violence and inequality that LGBTQ+ citizens still face to this day and do everything we can to uplift them.

Instead of ignoring that this grave injustice specifically targeted a group of marginalized people, we must stand together and unite with them during this time.

We see mass shootings occur time and time again with the same reactions — thoughts and condolences accompanied by incompetent inaction.

As our leaders call for stricter gun control, war on terrorism or a ban on all Muslims, one paramount resolution is missing from the list: true equality — even in death.

We cannot fully mourn the victims if we refuse to fully acknowledge what we lost: American, innocent, LGBTQ+ lives.

Michelle Reagle CONTRIBUTING EDITOR

Stephen Caruso

Contributing Editor One of the first observations my friends and family made when I got off the plane from five months in Europe was unexpected, but flattering.

“Stephen, you look great!”

Why? How could anyone lose weight when spending four months in Italy — the home of pasta, pizza and Parmesan? But a friend’s goading forced me onto a scale which revealed that I was 40 pounds lighter than I had originally thought.

I’ve written about my body image before, and this drastic change shocked me. Far from starving, I felt I ate the best of my life while studying abroad — because of Europe’s entirely different attitude towards food.

From the ingredients themselves — usually fresher and less processed — to how Europeans eat — slower and in multiple courses — the environment made for healthier and tastier living.

According to a 2016 study by BMJ Source, Americans get 57.7 percent of their calories from “ultra-processed” food, which the medical journal defines as “industrial formulations which, besides salt, sugar, oils and fats, include

June 15, 2016

substances not used in culinary preparations, in particular additives used to imitate sensorial qualities of minimally processed foods and their culinary preparations.”

In other words, Americans get over half of their food from the factory — not the farm — using chemicals to fake freshness and natural elements, while being pumped with flavors that have all been linked to addiction in multiple studies.

The usual findings? Binging on high fat, high sugar and high salt products leads to dopamine releases, creating a pleasurable feeling and reinforcing the behavior.

The end result? Obesity. According to the World Obesity Federation, 40 percent of American women and 35 percent of men are obese. This places the United States among the fattest countries in the world.

Not that genetics don’t play a role — but this isn’t a debate about whether weight comes from nature or nurture. Both will factor into what the Center for Disease Control and Prevention has called a “major health threat.” But it’s worth noting how fats and oil take up 10 percent or more of our calories since 1970, and that 74 percent of packaged American See Caruso on page 9

8

Caruso, pg. 8 foods now have added sugar in them — including things like yogurt, bread and pasta sauce.

American cuisine then takes these processed ingredients and layers them on top of each other. When you think of how many things can be dipped in chocolate, drizzled with cheese or covered in chili, it’s easy to lose track of how unhealthily we eat on a daily basis.

Europeans though — especially Italians — create food with great care and highly prized fresh ingredients. But this doesn’t result in higher prices, which is the common excuse for why so many American foods are artificial. By buying local and in-season ingredients, transit costs are lower for fresh food. Also, many Italians shop at open markets and shops with limited hours and supplies. By reducing the pressure on food retailers to always have everything, prices come down. Five euros — or $5.64 — could get you fresh bread, veggies and sausage, with enough for leftovers.

With recipes, Italians valued simplicity. Pizza usually didn’t have tomato sauce — just halved cherry tomatoes. No room for added sugars or salts there. And while an Italian hoagie in the United States is replete with pepperoni, ham, salami, provolone, lettuce, tomato, onion, mayo and

oil, no real Italian sandwich would ever stuff so much in one place.

As my study abroad school’s head, a native Italian, said, “make sure you savor each flavor.”

By that mantra, Italians would likely just get wild boar salami, arugula and hot pepper olive oil in their sandwiches.

Simple, fresh eating means lively and active taste buds. I can still remember tramping through a street market in Florence with my camera when a local vendor noticed me. Seeing I was a tourist, he broke into a huge smile and offered me a locally grown strawberry. In his limited English, he intoned “Our strawberries are the best strawberries.”

My head told me it was good. The juices poured out and its texture was firm but had give.

Yet my overly sugared tongue — more used to strawberry Jolly Ranchers than a real one — was not impressed. The sugar rush hadn’t been tripped.

My brain could understand why it was tasty — but my tongue just didn’t notice. I was disappointed that I couldn’t honor this man’s enthusiasm for his profession with an equal enthusiasm for his food.

For as much as Americans love to fetishize food — gorging on deep fried oreos, bourbon bacon bread pudding, double bacon cheeseburgers

with grilled cheese for buns — we don’t respect it.

Our relationship with food is an empty regard. It’s not a respect for a natural strawberry, it’s “let’s see how many flavors we can shove into one place.”

Eating wasn’t a task of maximizing energy and flavor. It was an experience to savor life’s little things and share them with loved ones. A minimum of an hour should be set aside to sit down with family for a meal. The food will come in courses — usually four — and be savored, whether at home or at an restaurant. This gives the chemicals that regulate hunger and fullness time to act. The pacing meant I never left a meal feeling like I’d eaten too much.

Food is something we need for survival, sure.

But food is also a way to honor our heritage — personal and collective. I can remember my mom showing me a recipe, handwritten by my greatgrandmother, for potato salad — she’s Polish, not Italian. I made it, and as I ate it I felt this connection to her I never had before. A recipe from the internet could never recreate that emotion.

Food isn’t just subsistence. It’s recipes passed down for generations, it’s ingredients carefully cultivated by a thoughtful farmer, it’s the joy of cooking with a loved one for a loved one. This is what Italy still understands, and helped me understand.

How do we bring this back to America? Shop

small and thoughtfully. Little grocery stores, like their European counterparts, still exist with fresh local ingredients. Don’t buy frozen chicken and condiments to cover its processed taste.

Just in South Oakland, there is Groceria Merante and Las Palmas. Both carry fresh fruits and vegetables at fine prices. You can get a zucchini, a loaf of fresh bread and a homemade Italian sausage for less than $7 at Merante, while Las Palmas will always have avocados and lime for about $4 to make a cheap and quick guacamole.

Shopping at a food co-op — like the East End Food Co-op near Wilkinsburg — also helps support local, fresh and sustainable ingredients.

Availability will vary, and a few products might be more expensive, but the improved quality will more than make up for the difference.

Also try to take time out to really cherish and appreciate meals. Set aside a few nights to cook.

Invite friends over for dinner parties. If your first attempt at homemade meatballs goes awry, your misery will enjoy the company — hopefully.

Food should be a fun experience, from picking the ingredients to eating the results. It’s a simple pleasure, one that the emphasis on convenience of modern America has lost.

Take a page from the old country, and live la vita bella.

Kesha shows Pride LGBTQ+ advocate Kesha painted Downtown Pittsburgh rainbow at the end of Pride in the Streets this past Saturday Lexi Kennell Staff Writer

Despite falling at the heart of a weekend plagued by tragedies and setbacks, Kesha’s Saturday night performance gave attendees of Pittsburgh PrideFest something worth celebrating.

After waiting almost seven hours for Kesha to perform, many disappointed fans poured out of the stage area on Liberty Avenue to catch the last buses of the evening. Due to the fireworks arranged for the Pirates game that same evening, Kesha’s performance was delayed to prevent fireworks from going off during her set.

Six acts opened for Kesha’s June 11 concert at Pittsburgh’s Pride in the Street, part of Pittsburgh PrideFest, but each act was notably spaced apart. The concert advertised a 6 p.m. start time, but Kesha, initially slotted to perform at 9 p.m., did not take the stage until almost 11 p.m. Impatient members of the crowd resorted to pushing and shoving one another and some even threw punches along with their drinks.

The Delta Foundation of Pittsburgh, an organization that supports the LGBTQ+ community, blocked off Liberty Avenue between 9th and 10th streets to host the concert. Each year’s act is chosen from a list of selections from an entertainment working group that consists of community members. Kesha has been

pittnews.com

on the shortlist for the past few years.

“There was always some interest and the planets aligned and this year she said yes,” said Christine Bryan, director of marketing and development for the Delta Foundation.

A sea of glittered faces and colored locks beamed up at the 29-year-old pop singer as she finally arrived. The fans that endured the long wait belted out every lyric as they danced to Kesha’s upbeat party songs.

During the concert, Kesha stopped to acknowledge the passing of Christina Grimmie, the 22-year-old singer who appeared on the sixth season of NBC’s “The Voice” in 2014. A gunman had shot and killed Grimmie earlier that day at her own concert in Orlando, Florida.

“I feel so much love here tonight. I just really want to take a minute to package all this love we have and just send a little to the family and to the friends and to the fans of Christina Grimmie,” Kesha said before dedicating a song to the deceased singer.

Fans applauded Kesha for the sentiment and the concert continued with Kesha performing her hit songs. Because the concert was part of the weekend’s Pittsburgh PrideFest, Kesha’s wardrobe and props took on a colorful rainbow theme. In one song, she even had backup dancers clad in phallic costumes.

“Kesha’s music is all anthems.

I think [the LGBTQ+ community] gravitates toward her music because they’re looking for something larger than life,” Josh Butcher, a 21 year-old attendee, said.

Kesha is a well known LGBTQ+ rights advocate and even received the Human Rights Campaign’s Visibility Award in 2015.

As an ordained minister, she has also performed commitment ceremonies for gay and straight couples.

“She’s been very active in speaking out against really specific issues in the [LGBTQ+] community since day one,” Butcher said. “She was speaking about [the issues] before it was cool to talk about.”

Kesha and Angel Haze capped off PrideFest with a concert at a stage on Liberty Avenue.

Still where it’s at: Beck’s ‘Odelay’ turns 20 Ian Flanagan Culture Editor

The jigsaw jazz and get-fresh flow of “Odelay” has only improved with age.

Two decades hasn’t been enough time for many people to fully make sense of Beck’s alphabet soup raps or absorb all the details of the Dust Brothers’ stellar production, which just gets fresher with each listen. The chameleonlike singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist’s second studio album celebrates its 20th anniversary this Saturday, and its vigor hasn’t waned one bit.

Recent singles like “Dreams” and “Wow” reek of the 45-year-old’s desperate attempt to feed mainstream appetites following the renewed limelight last year’s unexpected Album of the Year Grammy win for “Morning Phase,” his most listless and uninspired album to date, generated.

Twelve albums deep, Beck is certainly beyond his prime — radically shifting his sound

pittnews.com

for each LP has turned into retreads as of late.

“Guero” and “The Information”, both released in the mid-2000’s, live in Beck’s past while feeling calculated rather than animated, and “Morning Phase” companions his other classic “Sea Change,” just with no emotional measure. But in his youth, Beck conjured some peculiarly pleasing records fueled by berserk enthusiasm, and “Odelay” is his grotesque masterpiece.

On “Odelay,” — a play on the Mexican slang “órale” or “what’s up?” — the Dust Brothers built upon the zany, ironic jest of Beck’s thematic content and advanced it further.

They were able to make dazzling compositions from the lines of Beck’s insane raps and cryptic, catchy hooks — not unlike the formula for his unexpected breakthrough hit “Loser” just two years before — and weave them into a rich puzzle of gut-busting rock-outs, soulful beats and ear-melting noise bits.

In an attempt to extinguish the “one-hit wonder” cries that followed “Loser” and to take

full advantage of the creative freedom allowed

by DGC Records who signed him initially, Beck decided to collaborate with the Dust Brothers, consisting of producers E.Z. Mike and King Gizmo.

Despite forming as early as 1985, the Dust Brothers have been fairly selective in their work, releasing only two works in the ’80s, including the innovative, sample-based sound behind the Beastie Boys’ rhymes on their finest record “Paul’s Boutique.” “Odelay” is their only full album of production from the ’90s, aside from the score of David Fincher’s “Fight Club.”

Recorded in a tiny room in the Brothers’ house in the Silver Lake neighborhood of Los Angeles, the sound of “Odelay” reflects the lofi environment of its conception, incorporating abrupt changes and collage-like composition.

Despite generating two charting singles and peaking at 16 on the Billboard 100, the album’s sound — only made accessible at all by the Brothers’ buoyant touch — is bracing, novel and often bewildering.

June 15, 2016

Take “Hotwax,” the album’s second track, which has a Spanish chorus translating to “I am a broken record / I have bubblegum in my brain.” Less than four minutes contains eight diverse samples, Beck’s looped slide guitar, some electric riffs and a few dank verses, ending with “All my days I got the grizzly words / Hijack flavors that I’m flipping like birds.” The song is his boldest fusion of hip-hop and folk, unfolding into new waters every 20 seconds thanks to the Brothers’ arsenal of wild drums and noise breakdowns.

Though “Where It’s At” is perhaps Beck’s coolest song — I could listen to its final 90-second jam out all day, and the main riff is severely funky — “Hotwax” is easily the most exemplary track on “Odelay.” It captures the way Beck’s redneck wordplay and the Brothers’ sleek, screwy production complement and elevate each of their sounds into something confident and undeniable yet completely bonkers.

Pride, pg. 3 shooter’s Muslim faith. Presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump reiterated his plan to ban Muslims from traveling to the United States and received significant criticism from both Democratic and Republican party members. Trump also received backlash after tweeting that he was “right on radical Islamic terrorism” shortly after the shooting.

Members of the Islamic community have pushed back against insinuations that their religion would excuse attacks on the LGBTQ+

community. The Islamic Center of Pittsburgh recently released a statement offering condolences to the families of the victims.

“The Muslim community joins our fellow Americans in repudiating anyone or any group that would claim to justify or excuse such a senseless act of violence,” ICP administration said in the statement. “The [LGBTQ+] community has stood side by side with the American Muslim community in the struggle against bigotry, in its varied forms. Our unity affirms that hatred, violence and the demonization of entire communities has no place in American society.”

North Side resident Sara Fazli heard about the shooting while getting ready to attend PrideFest. She was “on the fence” about going after a late night at Kesha’s Pride in the Street concert but decided to go to “pay [her] respects for the families and victims.”

“I’m actually Iranian,” Fazli said. “I just know there’s going to be a lot of people bashing my people.”

Lyndsey Sickler, chair of the Gay and Lesbian Community Center of Pittsburgh, said the center is directing donations to local organizations in Orlando. The center has also set up a memorial outside its window at 210 Grant St.

“Though we are far away from the pain and sorrow from this loss, [it] affects us all. Regardless of the distance, we feel the hurt just as much as if we were there,” Sickler said. “Going forward, the GLCC is even more committed to our outreach and educational efforts to help [non-LGBTQ+] people understand, respect and love the differences between us and ultimately create a stronger world together.”

Fazli said there needs to be “more love and less labeling.”

“I think we all just need to be humans.

We’re all people,” Fazli said. “That’s what I think we should be categorized as.”

Penguins win their fourth Cup, Pittsburgh celebrates in peace Stephen Caruso

Contributing Editor With a little more than 12 minutes left in the second period of Sunday’s NHL Final, a fan’s mighty expletive split the contemplative silence at Hemingway’s Cafe. The San Jose Sharks, Sunday night’s home team, had tied Game 6 at 1-1.

Despite her intense expression, Christina Hronas — a Carlow University graduate who’s been a Pens fan “really forever” — was never worried about the game’s outcome.

“They’re going to win,” she said, eyes locked on a television screen in the corner.

The Penguins scored shortly after. The patrons of Hemingway’s went crazy. Friends and strangers alike hugged and exchanged high fives. Hronas allowed herself a smile.

The equalizing goal would prove to be

the game-winner, as the Penguins added a fourth series win and secured their fourth Stanley Cup. In Oakland, fans crammed into bars to see the team play, while a viewing party gathered Downtown at Consol Energy Center, the Penguins’ home arena.

After the final horn, 15,000 fans streamed out of the center. The city had made sure it did most of its preparations well before the final horn sounded — riot police stood by outside but did not have to act.

At a press conference June 8, Guy Costa, Pittsburgh’s chief of operations, had laid out the city’s plans for how to handle any celebrations.

“We want to see people having a good time,” Costa said. “We don’t want to see craziness.”

The strategy for limiting hysteria included a 90-minute period where fans would be allowed to celebrate in the streets — which Yinzers used to the fullest.

But those measures, and the enhanced police presence, went unneeded as the city rallied around its champions in relative peace.

After Consol let out, fans raced between slowed traffic on Fifth Avenue. They high fived through car windows while horns — sometimes honking to the cadence of “Let’s Go Pens” — filled the air.

Back in Oakland, Hemingway’s Cafe had opened specifically for the Penguins game.

Pitt’s Desmond Palmer is now a three-time NCAA Outdoor Track and Field All-American.

Palmer earned second-team All-America honors this season after falling just short of making the men’s 400 meter hurdle finals at Wednesday’s 2016 NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships in Eugene, Oregon. The junior finished his semifinal heat in fourth place and seventh best overall with a time of 50.21, but only the top six qualifiers advanced to the finals.

A two-time ACC 400mH champion, Palmer was a second-team All-American in his first year at Pitt before earning first-team All-America honors last season with an eighth place finish at nationals.

Pitt’s men’s 4x400 meter relay team — comprised of Palmer, junior Brylan Slay and seniors Donnell Taylor and Chris Tate — also failed to make the finals after finishing their semifinal heat in eighth place with a time of 3:11.55, but still earned honorable mention All-American honors.

Although no Panthers qualified for the national finals, Pitt head coach Alonzo Webb views this season as a step in the right direction.

“Today did not go as we had planned it,” Webb said in a press release Wednesday. “However, I am very proud of how far these guys have made it and this is just another step in the process of getting better.”
