Senior Staff Writer With the rapid news cycle, the Trump administration is capturing most of the public’s attention, and Mayor Bill Peduto sees a path for cities to bring about change.

“We are living in interesting times right now,” he said Tuesday night. “Changes that are happening in this world will happen at the local level.”

The College Democrats hosted Mayor Bill Peduto for a discussion in the Cathedral of Learning about Pittsburgh politics and current affairs. Peduto spoke on a number of national issues related to Pittsburgh, both new and old, including the latest decision to rescind the federal DACA program,

the withdrawal of the U.S. from the Paris Climate Agreement and the future of the Democratic Party.

More than 80 students attended the event, which doubled as the club’s second general meeting — the first of which took place Aug. 29 — to listen and ask the mayor questions.

Dan Cho, a first-year studying studying Neuroscience, came to the meeting with the desire to learn more about local government.

“I’m not too familiar with the specific details of city government, more so in just federal government,” he said. “Which is why I wanted to come and possibly volunteer [in politics].”

Peduto opened the meeting with men-

tion of the Paris Climate Agreement and his commitment to ensuring Pittsburgh follows the guidelines of the pact despite the federal government’s withdrawal.

“We agreed that we were going to create our own standards on the local level so we would be able reduce our carbon footprint,“ Peduto said.

With his own general mayoral election coming up against two independent candidates, Peduto spoke about the importance of voting in local elections — particularly for local judgeships.

“You will have the opportunity to steer electoral votes in four years with the presidency,” Peduto said. “More importantly, there will be active campaigns for supreme See Peduto on page 2

Knowing to call 911 for help is common knowledge, but it was an impossible task for senior Annmarie Stockinger when she was sexually assaulted in Tower C during her first year at Pitt.

Fear rendered her powerless. She could not even try to dial three simple numbers.

“I was holding my phone the whole time,” Stockinger said.

Stockinger said someone who encounters a violent situation — sexual or otherwise — may not call and ask for help immediately. A person being attacked may not want to attempt to get help while the attack is happening in case it escalates the situation.

“It’s very hard to pull out your phone and dial a number, even if that number is 911. It’s a paralyzing experience,” Stockinger said.

A friend called the police immediately after discovering Stockinger in the hallway. To cope with the incident, Stockinger transferred to Georgia State University and started going to therapy.

According to a study conducted by the National Sexual Violence Resource Center, one in five female students are sexually assaulted on college campuses per year.

Stockinger, who now studies mathematics at Georgia State, was determined to lower these statistics after her traumatizing experience. Her solution was to create GoSafely.

GoSafely is a small, wearable key chain about the size of a thumbdrive. Users can press a button once to contact police or twice for paramedics. From there, the device makes an automated call to either 911 or to a friend or family member. The software See GoSafely on page 2

court, commonwealth courts, superior courts and common police courts.”

Halfway through the event, he opened the discussion up to questions from students — who challenged him on several topics. One student wanted to know how he will reduce carbon emissions throughout the city, while others pressed him on the issue of lead in Pittsburgh water and how to resolve gerrymandering in the state.

Peduto said his solutions will be longterm as far as raising rates and allowing the city to replace lead lines over the next 10 years. He also recognized, due to partisan gridlock, it may take until 2022 to vote for a democratic jury in the state supreme court

GoSafely, pg. 2 relays the user’s exact location and any personal information the user entered through the app, including allergies or other medical information.

If the user contacts police or paramedics, an installed microphone sends a live audio stream of the attack directly to the police station. This audio recording, though not accessible through the device itself, can be obtained by the police station and used as evidence in a courtroom.

In the case that a friend or family is alerted, GoSafely sends an exact location via call or text, depending on user preferences in the web app.

Though the product has several innovative features, Stockinger was inspired by some already existing products. She first had the idea for the device after seeing two advertisements on the same day for products with similar technology — the Amazon Dash Button and Life Alert.

“I realized that all these buttons were doing was making a call to a server and ordering something. I thought, ‘Hm, maybe we could use this as a key chain where you press a button and call for help,’” Stockinger said.

She decided to bring her idea to HackATL, a competitive event in Atlanta where

SGB talks about plans for the year that can redraw district lines.

Joseph Lehman, a first-year student studying political science, asked the mayor a question about raising the minimum wage in the city.

In response, Peduto pointed to his efforts on raising the minimum wage for city employees and incentivizing private businesses to raise their wages.

“I’ve had family who have had to provide for their kids on less than $10 an hour.

I understand there’s not much he can do at this moment on the state level,” Lehman said. “But from what it sounds like he’s really been able to use private business and [is making] them pay their employees more.”

When prompted about the city’s police department interfering with peaceful protests, Peduto spoke candidly about mistakes

in the past. He referred to an instance in June, when two separate Pride Week marches took place simultaneously — one sponsored by the energy company EQT and one called the People’s Pride March, which rejected corporate presence in the pride parade. Pittsburgh Police officers misinterpreted the latter as an anti-pride parade and met the marchers with opposition before realizing their mistake, Peduto said.

“During the pride parade, there were two minutes where they showed up in helmets. When we found out it was the counter parade, we immediately removed the officers and we de-escalated the situation,” Peduto said.

Charlotte Goldbach, the president of Pitt College Democrats and a senior political science and communications major, was

pleased by his ability to directly respond to student concerns.

“He is really good at acknowledging room for improvement. Pittsburgh is an ever-changing city,” she said. “He has been really successful bringing a lot of industries to Pittsburgh to help advance it, and I think he addressed a lot of it.”

Despite student and public concern for the state of national politics, Peduto ended the meeting with an insistence on improvement starting here in Pittsburgh.

“You will see people wearing Nazi symbols. You will see people burning crosses.

You will hear derogatory statements based on race, gender and sexual orientation,” Peduto said. “We have to do better. So why don’t we start in Pittsburgh?”

programmers collaborate on projects in order to gain more development support.

After her idea wowed the judges and won the contest, Stockinger sought out other people who could help bring her idea to fruition.

She reached out to Koby Schmetterling, her former high school friend and the Pitt student who found her in the hallway the night of her assault, to help design the project.

“I’m not a mechanical engineer — I work right now in data science, so I know a lot of software engineering, but I had never designed hardware before,” Stockinger said.

Koby Schmetterling, a senior at Pitt and now the chief technology officer of GoSafely, said he agreed to help because he wanted to find a way to help people be themselves and do what they love.

“I have too many friends and too many stories,” Schmetterling said.

Stockinger and Schmetterling began conducting research about sexual violence and crime on campus. Stockinger conducted one study which found that only 10 percent of about 70 college students surveyed in Atlanta knew how to utilize the emergency phones on campus.

“That for me was also validation that the system in place wasn’t really functional,” Stockinger said. “I thought the wearable key

chain would fix the problem in ways that other things don’t.”

Though there are already apps on the market that aim to help people in danger, like bSafe and Companion, these apps require a charged phone as well as Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. Stockinger sought to create a small, accessible device independent of a phone.

Stockinger conducted another survey among 60 college students in Atlanta and found that 90 percent of people said they carry their keys at all times. She figured that there would be enough interest in a key-chain-like emergency help button to go through with their plan.

After contributing much of their free time and personal funds, the two were able to design a device that can send a signal to the police at the touch of a button. Rahul Sane, a senior at Pitt studying bioengineering, joined the GoSafely team about five months ago to help share the workload and act as chief operating officer of the company.

“All three of us have a personal stake in this issue and there’s a reason why each of us are doing this,” Sane said. “It’s not like we just decided to band together and form a company out of nowhere.”

The team of three has won a number of awards since last spring that have helped

them develop their device. Prizes included $19,000 in grants, a free year of office space through WeWork, $120,000 worth of free server space from Microsoft and Microsoft’s Most Potential Impact Award.

Stockinger has taken a full year off of school to focus completely on GoSafely, working hard to market and continue developing her product.

“I hope to do three things — make people feel safer, encourage people to perform bystander intervention and do good, and I want to help people live more and explore the world with less fear,” Stockinger said. “Be safe, do good, live more.”

With the product in the final testing stages, the GoSafely team is launching a fundraiser on Indiegogo later this month to raise additional funds to complete development.

“It’s really about having the independence to work in a manner that allows us to serve the people we are trying to reach,” Sane said.

Sane sees significant expansion in GoSafely’s future — including nursing homes, corporate offices and elementary schools — but college students are the primary market.

“My vision,” Schmetterling said, “is at freshman orientation to hear, ‘Here’s your student ID and here’s your GoSafely.’”

NEXT-DAY SHOPPING?

Stand strong to protect DACA recipients Imagine living in the United States your entire life — from your earliest memories, you’ve been here.

And in 2014, Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals protected your status, keeping you safe from the ever-looming threat of deportation.

But as of Tuesday, because your parents immigrated illegally shortly after you were born, you could be facing deportation.

In Pennsylvania alone, nearly 6,000 young adults were given protection under the Obama-era executive action. DACA protected people who arrived in the United States under the age of 16 before 2007, enabling recipients to obtain driver’s licenses, enroll in college and pay income tax, among other things.

But now the White House is telling DACA’s nearly 800,000 recipients to prepare to leave the country they call home.

These 800,000 people aren’t just legal residents on work visas. These are everyday Americans — people who’ve grown up in the United States since before they can remember, and who share the values of natural-born citizens. Most DACA recipients are law-abiding citizens, and are actively seeking educations and better opportunities — the embodiment of the American Dream.

The overturn of DACA opens the door to the possibility of an evil, ruthless persecution of immigrants.

In order to qualify for DACA protections, applicants needed to provide the government with an abundance of information including their names, heights, street addresses, school ad-

pittnews.com

dresses, phone numbers and more.

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services vowed to protect this information, but since DACA was signed as an executive order rather than a law, the current administration could do whatever it wants with the data.

This unprecedented danger posed to young adults who have known nothing but America for a majority of their lives is unacceptable. In former President Barack Obama’s words, “it is cruel.”

But in our city, our state and our school, people are standing up — and we hope their voices are heard.

Pittsburgh Mayor Bill Peduto vowed to do whatever he can to protect DACA recipients living in Pennsylvania. And Chancellor Patrick Gallagher signed a letter in November, along with 250 other college presidents, urging President Donald Trump to keep the program.

Tuesday, he took to Twitter to state his solidarity with DACA students at Pitt, joining “the rising tide of voices who are calling on Congress to make this right.”

Trump may have placed the fate of hundreds of thousands of lives in the hands of a divided Congress that’s repeatedly failed to pass laws, but the people — for once — are decided and united. Over 76 percent of Americans say they think DACA recipients should be allowed to stay in the country.

It may seem as if our country is not unified on much. At the very least, we cannot allow our president to divide us further over something as inhumane as ending DACA.

Karmazyn, pg. 3 If Amazon’s mentality wins out, shelves would flood with cheap, imitation-organic food. It might be imported, or shipped from the other side of the country or produced without adherence to the fair labor standards Whole Foods practices.

With Amazon, nobody knows — and for small farmers and producers, that’s a scary thought.

But if Whole Foods’ mentality proves victorious, the brand might just afford itself the opportunity to upend its image — vital at a time when the brand is under fire in cities like Pittsburgh and New York.

Crucial to changing this image is real change in Whole Foods’ accessibility. It cannot be a one-sided effort — the only way for real change to happen would be if Whole Foods’ commitment to small and midsize producers stays strong while the prices of goods go down.

It sounds simple in theory. But hopefully Whole Foods recognizes the unique opportunity it has to keep communities healthy for cheap — after all, healthy people make happy people.

Sports 2017 NFL preview: patriots vs. the field Steve Rotstein

Senior Staff Writer After one of the most stunning and unforgettable Super Bowls in recent memory, the 2016-17 NFL season ended the same way it always seems to — with Tom Brady and the New England Patriots hoisting the Vince Lombardi Trophy as the champions.

For the third time in their five Super Bowl seasons, the Patriots sent the Pittsburgh Steelers packing in the AFC Championship Game, en route to the title. The Patriots and Steelers are stocked with talent again this year, but a new contender is approaching fast in the race for AFC supremacy.

Can anyone prevent the Patriots from forming another dynasty, or will they capture their third Super Bowl in four years? Let’s take a look.

AFC East Three things in life are certain — death, taxes and the Patriots winning the AFC East.

OK, maybe that’s not exactly how Benjamin Franklin worded his famous quote, but the AFC East is perennially the easiest division to handicap in the NFL, if not all of sports. Even with Brady serving a four-game suspension to start the 2016-17 season, the Patriots breezed to their eighth straight division title on the way to claiming their fifth Super Bowl.

This year, Brady faces no such penalty, and he has a healthy Rob Gronkowski back at tight end — not to mention newly acquired speedster Brandin Cooks at wide receiver. Look for the Pats to run away with their ninth division title in a row.

Predicted division winner: New England Patriots AFC North Thanks to its fierce rivalries and bruising nature of play, the AFC North has earned the heartfelt moniker of the NFL’s “Black and Blue” division.

Last year was no different, as the division crown came down to the very last play of a classic Christmas Day matchup between the Steelers and the Baltimore Ravens. That night at Heinz Field,

pittnews.com

All-Pro receiver Antonio Brown fought off a tackle from three Ravens defenders to reach the ball over the goal line and secure the division title for the Steelers.

This year should be another three-team battle between the Steelers, Ravens and Cincinnati Bengals.

The Ravens may boast the division’s best defense, and the Bengals are loaded with playmakers. But with Martavis Bryant back in the fold, the Steelers should have the best team overall.

Predicted division winner: Pittsburgh Steelers AFC South Always one of the more wide open divisions in the league, the AFC South once again has no clear favorite.

The Indianapolis Colts had a stronghold on the division for the first two years of Andrew Luck’s career, but the quarterback has struggled the last two seasons and is still recovering from an off-season shoulder surgery. Meanwhile, the Houston Texans have won the last two division titles, doing so last year without three-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year J.J. Watt.

The return of a healthy Watt will certainly give the Texans a good chance to three-peat, but the Tennessee Titans may have the better overall roster and should give the Texans a good run for the top spot.

Predicted division winner: Tennessee Titans See NFL on page 6

the road to finish 10-6 after a 4-6 start to the season.

When Rodgers plays like he did during the second half of last season, he’s the best player in the NFL. If he does so for a full season, no one in the North can stop the Packers.

Predicted division winner: Green Bay Packers NFC South The Atlanta Falcons ended the Carolina Panthers’ three-year run at the top of the NFC South last year, and nearly parlayed that momentum into a Super Bowl title.

After blowing a 25-point lead to New England in the biggest collapse in Super Bowl history, the Falcons are a prime candidate to suffer from the dreaded Super Bowl hangover. The Panthers could take home another division title, but they’d need quarterback Cam Newton to return to MVP form. And although the New Orleans Saints have struggled lately, they always have a shot with Drew Brees leading the way.

But this year’s team to watch is the upstart Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who added the explosive DeSean Jackson to provide a fearsome one-two punch at wide receiver with Mike Evans. All four teams in the

South have a legitimate chance at a division crown in 2017.

Predicted division winner: Tampa Bay Buccaneers NFC West Having won three of the past four NFC West titles, the Seattle Seahawks are a virtual lock to make it four out of five in what was the NFL’s toughest division only a few years ago.

The once-mighty San Francisco 49ers could be the worst team in the NFC, and the Los Angeles Rams might be their top competition for that bottom position.

While the Arizona Cardinals are only a year removed from a division title, veteran quarterback Carson Palmer looked every bit of 37 last season.

The Cardinals still have a chance if Palmer has one more good year left in him, but the combination of Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson, wide receiver Doug Baldwin, tight end Jimmy Graham and Seattle’s defense will likely be too much to overcome.

Predicted division winner: Seattle Seahawks Super Bowl Raiders 28, Seahawks 24

The Pitt news crossword 9/6/17

AFC West Expect another three-team race in the rugged AFC West between the Kansas City Chiefs, Denver Broncos and Oakland Raiders.

The Chiefs ended the Broncos’ five-year streak of division titles last year, but they had to chase down Oakland to do so. The Raiders had the division all but locked up until star quarterback Derek Carr broke his leg in Week 16, when the Chiefs took advantage.

Carr has recovered in time for the start of the 2017-18 season, and the Raiders also convinced running back Marshawn Lynch to come out of retirement to play for his hometown team. With Lynch joining Carr and reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year Khalil Mack, the Raiders have all the tools necessary to take home the division title.

Predicted division winner: Oakland Raiders NFC East The most parity-filled division in the NFL, the NFC East hasn’t seen a repeat

division winner since the Philadelphia Eagles in 2004. Expect that streak to live on in 2017.

Last year’s division winner, the Dallas Cowboys, enter the season with superstar running back Ezekiel Elliott serving a six-game suspension. Quarterback Dak Prescott had a great rookie season alongside Elliott, but he may fall victim to a sophomore slump without the running back early on.

The New York Giants, meanwhile, still have ultra-talented wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. — and they added future Hall of Fame receiver Brandon Marshall to line up alongside him. The Giants also have the best defense in the division and should have an explosive offense to boot.

Predicted division winner: New York Giants NFC North The Green Bay Packers have owned the NFC North in the Aaron Rodgers era — don’t expect that to change this year.

The Packers have won five division titles in the last six years, but three times they’ve needed to defeat a division rival in the last week of the season to do so. They did just that last year, beating the Detroit Lions on
