The debate is getting as intense as the rivalry between Cathedral Preparatory School and McDowell High School. Public school officials in Erie County are growing more upset over what they consider an unfair system of competition in high school sports. Echoing concerns that continued to emerge statewide this month, local superintendents are calling for a potential overhaul of how high school sports are played in Pennsylvania. They want the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association and its governing body for the northwestern section of the state, the District 10 Committee, to further examine transfer rules and to consider the adoption of a two-tier system for high school playoffs. The superintendents also plan to poll schools in D-10 on their views on separate See SCHOOLS, A8

Erie as model for change? Why not? Pat Howard

ayor Joe Schember said something radical the other day as he talked about the city’s launch of a national pilot program on community policing in concert with the U.S. Department of Justice. The effort kicked off with a day of frank backand-forth among police officers and a crosssection of the community. But that’s just the start. “We’ve got a lot of work to do,” Schember said afterward. “They really laid out pretty clearly what we need to be doing, how we can build a stronger police-community relationship right here in Erie. We want to be a model for the country.” A model for the country. That prompts a thought that’s been far too rare here for far too long. Why not? The can-do spirit loose in Erie was brewing before Schember took the oath of office four months ago. In fact, it helped produce the inspiring mayoral race that resulted in his election. But Schember’s combination of optimism, energy, resolve and collaboration shows promise for becoming the missing link in addressing some of the most pressing

problems and opportunities facing Erie and the region. A nimble, outward-facing City Hall will be an indispensable catalyst in turning Erie’s arc upward. I got to thinking about such things while reading “The Reinvention of America,” a piece by James Fallows in the May edition of The Atlantic. Its premise is that some of the most consequential developments in the country are happening largely below the national radar and outside the biggest population centers, and that they weave into a narrative that’s more hopeful for America than the cable news food fights would lead you to believe. It’s not that the toxic dysfunction at the upper levels of our politics isn’t real and damaging. But one silver lining of all of that is that communities and regions aren’t waiting for some deus ex machina from Washington or Harrisburg. Fallows’ survey of change and innovation being driven locally in communities across America is a preview of “Our Towns,” the coming book by Fallows and his wife, Deborah Fallows. It’s rooted in their extensive travels to smaller communities where transformational efforts are stirring. Much of what Fallows covers in The Atlantic is prescriptive for, and increasingly descriptive of, Erie. In fact, James and Deborah Fallows

ended their travels in our town, which is mentioned in passing in the Atlantic piece and is one of their case studies. Fallows relates a trend of civic governance that’s more connected to the residents it serves. “I could spend the rest of this article describing initiatives that tech companies are launching and refining to improve the quality, responsiveness, and accountability of city services,” he writes. Those words came out just a few days after Schember, the Erie Innovation District and their tech company partners announced a pilot “smart cities” technology project downtown that’s meant to being the leading edge of what Fallows describes. The vision in time is to expand it citywide. Why not? Fallows also describes how public libraries, instead of being supplanted by technology, are becoming hubs of civic collaboration and entrepreneurial spirit. The featured story on the front page of Saturday’s Erie Times-News was about the evolution and potential of the six-month-old Idea Lab at Blasco Library. Fallows, bless his heart, also points to the vital role local journalism plays in community progress at a time when media companies themselves are undergoing major disruption. More than two years ago, this newspaper launched Erie Next,

our initiative to focus squarely and urgently on what’s holding Erie and the region back and what’s needed to move us forward together. Another element Fallows cites as crucial on the local level is “engagement, of almost any kind.” He writes about the difference between “consuming” some happening locale and “creating” one where you live. “Creating in that sense means taking responsibility for the invention and sustenance of the community in which you’d like to live,” he writes. “The idea of engagement, then, boils down to sharing responsibility for the world outside one’s individual household.” Schember and his new crew at City Hall have made engaging residents and businesses the centerpiece of their approach, reaching out on the Erie Refocused comprehensive plan in particular. The question is how many people will respond in a community with a weary sense of fatalism braided deeply into its collective psyche. Apathy and resignation are among Erie’s biggest threats.

PENNSYLVANIA Wagner spurs questions of conflicts Ethics watchdogs eye Republican’s ties to waste hauler By Marc Levy The Associated Press

HARRISBURG — If he wins the race for Pennsylvania governor, Scott Wagnerwouldbecomethe state’sonlychiefexecutive in at least a half-century who took office with a deep financial interest in a businessheavilyregulated by the state. Wagner,63,theRepublican Party’s endorsed candidatetotakeonDemocratic Gov. Tom Wolf in November, maintains he will be focused strictly on a business-friendly platform of cutting spending and regulations, not helpingtheYorkCounty-based waste hauler he owns. Wagner, who founded Penn Waste Inc. in 2000, has served in the state Senate since 2014, where he has advanced his view that a feckless government bureaucracy gets in the way of businesses and economic growth. But being governor would put Wagner at the controls of a state government that issues permits for the trucks of Penn Waste, as well as its competitors, and sets safety and environmental standards for collecting and transporting municipal waste. Not only that, but watchdogs question whether rank-and-file state employees in charge

of enforcing violations would quietly give the governor’s company a Wagner pass for fear of crossing thestate’schiefexecutive. Landfill space and recycling costs are also constant sources of attention from the wastehauling industry, while PennWasteisamemberof a trade group that actively makes the industry’s case beforestateagencies,lawmakers, and the courts. Plus,PennWaste’sbreadand-butter is landing contracts with municipalities that rely on state aidforthingslikeroadsand civicprojects.Itevenhasa few state contracts. Wagner,whoisrunning inathree-wayRepublican primary election May 15, maintains that he will not sell his assets or put them into a blind trust. “I’m not required to do that, and my family, the board of directors and the senior managers of all the companies that I’m involved in will operate those companies,” Wagner told a Pennsylvania Press Club audience in February. “I’m going to have my hands full across thestreet.I’mnotgoingto have time to worry about what’s going on at Penn Waste.” Wagner’s campaign said the idea of him using thegovernorshiptobenefit Penn Waste is contrary to

the reason he is running: to free state government from the grip of special interests. “Scottwillbeagovernor onthesideofthepeoplefor a change,” the campaign said. But David Thornburgh, president of the Philadelphia-based ethics in government group Committeeof70,saidWagner’s business holdings provide “fertileground”forserious conflicts of interest. Wagner’s assurances aren’t good enough to build confidence that he is adequately safeguarding the line between public responsibility and private gain, said Thornburgh, who is also the son of former Gov. Dick Thornburgh. ThereisnolawinPennsylvania — or any other state — that requires a public official to divest an asset that might present a conflict. Rather, Pennsylvania’s ethics law requires public officials to disclose their outside sources of income and makes it a felony for a public official to use their authority to financially benefit themselves, a family member or their business. That conflict-of-interest provision, however, does not apply to actions that equally affect an entireindustry,effectively freeing a Wagner administration to take action to benefit the entire wastehauling industry. Ideally, say ethics

watchdogs, a public official manages potential conflicts of interest by selling their assets and putting the money into a blind trust managed by a financial professional with whom they have no pre-existing relationship. Wagner, who has refused to release his tax return, has reported more than 30 sources of income in disclosure statements. Those income sources include holdings in hotels, freight hauling, and his 80 percent stake in Penn Waste, which reported $75 million in revenue last 0year. Wagner has battled suggestions that he can use his position, either as a senator or governor, to sway municipal contracts toward Penn Waste. The lowest bidder wins, leaving no room for conflict, he says. State law would not bar Penn Waste from continuing to win state or municipal contracts should Wagner become governor. The last and nearest comparison to Wagner’s situation in Pennsylvania mightbethestakesincoalrelated industries held by family members of former Gov. Bill Scranton, who served from 1963 to 1967, political analysts said. Wagner’s holdings put him “in largely unprecedented territory” in Pennsylvania, said Christopher Borick, a political science professor

at Muhlenberg College in Allentown. States have seen similar controversies because so many have elected rich people as governor. In Wagner’s case, handing over day-to-day control ofPennWastemakeslittle difference to watchdogs. The potential for a conflict remains if he maintains a financial stakeinthecompany,said Brendan Fischer, a lawyer for The Campaign Legal Center in Washington. Aside from a governor’s

ability to sway regulations or enforcement, there will be conflicts for state employees who deal with their boss’ company, Fischer and others say. “Even if the governor never expressly intervenes in matters affecting his company’s interests,” Fischersaid,“canwereally expect that the governor’s subordinates would fail to award a contract to the governor’s company, or penalize the governor’s companyforenvironmental violations?”

NATION&WORLD Asylum seekers snub warnings Despite lawyers detailing stern US response, unperturbed caravan still plans border crossing By Elliot Spagat The Associated Press

TIJUANA, Mexico — U.S. immigration lawyers are telling Central Americans in a caravan of asylum-seekers that traveled through Mexico to the border with San Diego that they face possible separation from their children and detention for many months. They say they want to prepare them for the worst possible outcome. “Wearethebearersofhorrible news,”Los Angeles lawyer Nora Phillips said during a breakfromlegalworkshopsfor the migrants at three Tijuana locations where about 20 lawyers gave free information andadvice.“That’swhatgood attorneys are for.” The Central Americans, many traveling as families, on Sunday will test the Trump administration’s tough rhetoric criticizing the caravan when the migrants begin seeking asylum by turning themselves in to border inspectors at San Diego’s San Ysidro border crossing, the nation’s busiest.

border. They have promised a stern, swift response. Attorney General Jeff Sessions called the caravan “a deliberate attempt to undermine our laws and overwhelm our system,” pledging to send more immigration judges to the border to resolve cases if needed. Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen said asylum claims will be resolved “efficiently and expeditiously” but said the asylum-seekers should seek it in the first safe country they reach, including Mexico.

One of two men accused of stealing a Key West museum’s 17th-century gold bar in 2010 has pleaded guilty. Appearing Friday at Key West’s federal courthouse, Richard Steven Johnson, of Rio Linda, California, pleaded guilty to conspiring to steal an object of cultural heritage and stealing a major artwork. The 74.85-ounce gold bar valued at $556,000 was found in 1980 on a 1622 Spanish galleon wreck site off the Florida Keys by late shipwreck salvor Mel Fisher. Until the theft, the bar was displayed in an acrylic case at the Mel Fisher Maritime Museum where visitors could touch it. Investigators proved that Johnson broke the case.

A floating nuclear power plant built in Russia has embarked on its first sea voyage so its reactors can be loaded with fuel. The floating plant, the Akademik Lomonosov, was towed on Saturday out of the St. Petersburg shipyard where it was constructed. It is to be pulled through the Baltic Sea and around the northern tip of Norway to Murmansk in northwest Russia, where the nuclear reactors are to be fueled. The Lomonosov is to be put into service in 2019 in the Arctic off the coast of Chukotka in the far east, providing power for a port town and for oil rigs. The project has been widely criticized by environmentalists.

Zimbabwe has legalized the production of marijuana for medicinal and scientific purposes, making it the rare African country to turn the drug into a source of revenue. A government notice issued by the health minister says individuals and corporations can apply for licenses to grow marijuana, whose production and possession had brought up to 12 years in prison. Recreational use remains illegal. The decision is a marked shift from the traditionally tough stance on marijuana in the largely conservative country where members of Parliament who had advocated for legalization often were openly mocked.

Calls to tax opioids draws pushback Drug manufacturers, distributors argue cost increases would eventually be absorbed by patients, taxpayers By Geoff Mulvihill and Kyle Potter The Associated Press

ST. PAUL, Minn. — Facing a rising death toll from drug overdoses, state lawmakers across the country are testing a strategy to boost treatment for opioid addicts: Force drug manufacturers and their distributors to pay for it. Bills introduced in at least 15 states would impose taxes or fees on prescription painkillers. Several of the measures have bipartisan support and would funnel millions of dollars toward treatment and prevention programs. In Montana, state Sen. Roger Webb, a Republican, sees the approach as a way to hold drugmakers accountable for an overdose epidemic that in 2016 claimed 42,000 lives in the U.S., a record. “You’re creating the problem,” he said. “You’re going to fix it.” Opioids include prescription painkillers such as Vicodin and OxyContin as well as illegal drugs such as heroin and illicit versions of fentanyl. Public health experts say the crisis started because of overprescribing and aggressive marketing of the drugs that began in the 1990s. The death toll has continued to rise even as prescribing has started to drop. A Pennsylvania opioid tax bill was introduced in 2015 and a federal version was introduced a year later, but most of the proposals arose during the past year. The majority of them have yet to get very far, with lawmakers facing intense pressure from the pharmaceutical industry to scuttle or soften the legislation. Drugmakers and distributors argue that it would be wrong to tax prescription drugs, that the cost increases would eventually be absorbed by patients or taxpayers, and that there are other ways to pay for addiction treatment and prevention. “We have been engaged with states to help move forward comprehensive solutions to this complex public health crisis and in many cases have seen successes,”

David Humes, whose son died from a heroin overdose in 2012, has been pushing for an opioid tax in Delaware, which did not increase funding for addiction treatment in 2017 as it struggles to balance its budget. [PATRICK SEMANSKY/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS]

Priscilla VanderVeer, a spokeswoman for Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America, said in a statement. “However, we do not believe levying a tax on prescribed medicines that meet legitimate medical needs is an appropriate funding mechanism for a state’s budget.” Two drug companies that deployed lobbyists — Purdue Pharma and Pfizer — responded to questions with similar statements. A spokesman for the Healthcare Distribution Alliance, which represents drug distributors, said a tax would mean that cancer patients and those in end-of-life care might not be able to get the prescriptions they need. The pharmaceutical industry has emphasized that the name-brand drug companies that make up its members already give rebates to states for drugs funded by Medicaid. Those rebates amount to billions of dollars nationwide that states could use to address opioid addiction, the trade group says. State legislation to tax opioids comes as manufacturers and distributors are defending themselves in hundreds of lawsuits filed by state and local governments seeking damages for the toll the overdose epidemic has taken on communities. David Humes, whose son died from a heroin overdose in 2012, has been pushing for an opioid tax in Delaware, which did not increase

funding for addiction treatment last year as it struggles to balance its budget. “When you think about the fact that each

year more people are dying, if you leave the money the same, you’re not keeping up with this public health crisis,” he said.

US reaffirms duty to defend SKorea By Matthew Pennington The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Jim Mattis spoke on Saturday with their South Korean counterparts after the historic meeting between leaders of the two Koreas, and Trump said “things are going very well” as he prepares for an expected summit with the North’s Kim Jong Un. Mattis and Defense Minister Song Youngmoo said they were committed to “a diplomatic resolution that achieves complete, verifiable and irreversible denuclearization” of the North, according to the Pentagon’s chief spokeswoman, Dana W. White. Mattis also reaffirmed “the ironclad U.S. commitment” to defend its ally “using the full spectrum of U.S. capabilities. “ Trump tweeted Saturday that he had “a long and very good talk” with President Moon Jae-in. He also said he updated Japan’s prime minister, Shinzo Abe, about “the ongoing negotiations” for an anticipated summit with

Kim, tentatively scheduled for May or early June. Moon and Kim have pledged to seek a formal end to the Korean War, fought from 1950 to 1953, by year’s end and to rid the Korean Peninsula of nuclear weapons. Trump has said he’s looking forward to the meeting with Kim and that it “should be quite something.” “Things are going very well, time and location of meeting with North Korea is being set,” Trump tweeted. Trump is claiming credit for the Korean summit, but now faces a burden in helping turn the Korean leaders’ bold but vague vision for peace into reality after more than six decades of hostility. Trump must contend with suspicions about his own suitability to conduct that kind of war-and-peace negotiation and succeed where his predecessors have failed, and whether Kim really is willing to give up the nuclear weapons his nation took decades acquiring. “It is still unclear whether North Korea still believes that it can have its cake and eat it

too,” said Victor Cha, who until January had been in the running to become Trump’s choice for ambassador to South Korea. At a White House news conference with German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Friday, Trump basked in the afterglow of the meeting between Kim and Moon, and said he has a responsibility to try to achieve peace and denuclearization. “And if I can’t do it, it’ll be a very tough time for a lot of countries, and a lot of people. It’s certainly something that I hope I can do for the world,” he said. Moon and Kim have not specified what steps would be taken to formally end the war or eliminate nuclear weapons. Now the pressure to deliver results, at least on the allies’ side, has shifted to Trump. The president pushed back against critics who say he’s being manipulated by Kim, who has abruptly shifted to diplomacy after last year’s full-scale push to become a nuclear power that could threaten the U.S. mainland. “I don’t think he’s ever had this enthusiasm for somebody, for them

Trump: Democrat should quit By Jill Colvin and Zeke Miller The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — A furious President Donald Trump on Saturday called for the resignation of the Democratic senator who assembled and released whathecalled“false”allegations that scuttled the nomination of the White House doctor who’d been in line to lead the Department of Veterans Affairs. Trump stepped up his criticismofMontana’sJon Tester, the top Democrat on the Senate Veterans’ Committee, in two tweets days after asserting that Tester “has to have a big price to pay” politically in the GOP friendly state for

his leading role in Ronny Jackson’s failed VA bid. Tester faces a competitive re-election race this year. Tester, in a statement,

didn’t directly respond to Trump but said he was committed to aiding veterans. At issue are allegations

that Tester has said were brought to his attention by more than 20 military and retired military personnel who’ve worked with Jackson. Tester said not investigating would have been “a dereliction of duty” and said making them public was important for the sake of transparency. The charges against Jackson raised questions about his prescribing practices and leadership ability, including accusations of drunkenness on the job. Tester’s office collected the allegations, which included a claim that Jackson “got drunk and wrecked a government vehicle” at a Secret Servicegoing-awayparty.

Early search for serial killer led to wrong man By Michael Balsamo, Jonathan J. Cooper and Gillian Flaccus The Associated Press

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Investigators hunting for the so-called Golden State Killer turned to searching genetic websites in 2017 but misidentified an Oregon man as a potential suspect. A year later, after using a similar technique, they are confident they’ve caught the serial rapist and killer who eluded capture for four decades. In March 2017, an Oregon City police officer, working at the request of investigators in California, convinced a judge to order a 73-year-old man in a

nursing home to provide a DNA sample. Court documents obtained by The

Associated Press said detectives used a genetic profile based off DNA from crime scenes

linked to the serial killer and compared it to information on a free online genealogical site. Investigators cited a rare genetic marker, which the Oregon man shared with the killer, to get the judge to issue the order. The Oregon City man is in extremely poor health in a rehabilitation facility and was unable to answer questions Friday. His daughter said his family was not aware that authorities took a DNA sample from him while he was lying in bed at the rehabilitation center until she was contacted by the FBI in April 2017 and asked to help expand the family’s genetic tree in the search for suspects.

Trump tweeted early Saturday that the allegations “are proving false. The Secret Service is unable to confirm (in fact they deny) any of the phony Democrat charges which have absolutely devastated the wonderful Jackson family. Tester should resign.” Trump said people in Montana, a state he won by 20 percentage points in 2016, “will not stand for this kind of slander.” He called Jackson “the kind of man that those in Montana would most respect and admire, and now, for no reason whatsoever, his reputation has been shattered. Not fair, Tester!”

Before leaving for a rally in Michigan, Trump directed another tweet at Tester, likening the senator’s claims against Jackson to the “phony Russian Collusion” accusations leveled against Trump’s 2016 campaign. “Testershouldloseracein Montana. Very dishonest and sick!” A written statement by Tester didn’t respond directly to Trump’s remarks. “It’s my duty to make sureMontanaveteransget what they need and have earned, and I’ll never stop fighting for them as their Senator,” it said. It also said Trump has signed eight Tester bills on veterans into law.

Transfer numbers

SCHOOLS From Page A1

playoffs. Such a survey went out this past week in the Western Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic League, which includes schools outside the city of Pittsburgh. At issue is the differences in enrollment practices between “boundary schools,” or traditional public schools that can draw students only from designated geographic areas, and “non-boundary schools,” or private, parochial and charter schools, which can draw students from an unlimited area statewide and even from other states. The non-boundary schools, such as Cathedral Prep, Villa Maria Academy and other parochial schools, have become forces statewide. In the state basketball championships in March, seven of the 12 titlists were non-boundary schools, and non-boundary schools won two of the six PIAA football championships in 2017. The local superintendents want the PIAA to create what they believe would be more of a level playing field. They want the transfer rules tightened, a move the PIAA is already undertaking. And they want the PIAA to explore a more complicated request — creating a system in which boundary schools and non-boundary schools would have their own playoffs and championships, with another championship game between the boundary and non-boundary titlists in each sport. The schools could play one another during the regular season, said Millcreek Township School District Superintendent William Hall, whose district includes McDowell. “You could still have two state championships,” Hall said. “There is a huge inequity now, especially with the private schools and some of the charter schools. Let’s level the playing field. Let’s just keep it apples to apples.” Hall, who is leading the effort among the local superintendents, said he would like the superintendents and other school administrators to take a survey similar to the one the WPIAL sent its member schools on Monday. The WPIAL survey — another example of how the discussion about boundary and non-boundary schools has spread statewide— seeks opinions on a separate playoff system. “Several superintendents are working on a draft,” Hall said of a survey for D-10. He said none of the superintendents has opposed developing a survey or pushing for changes. Hall also said the creation of the separate playoff system would eliminate the need for transfer hearings, at which the D-10 Committee determines whether a student-athlete’s decision to switch schools is based on “athletic intent” and is thus prohibited. Like Hall, Harbor Creek School District Superintendent Kelly Hess said general inequity is one of a number of concerns the PIAA should review. “The core issue that needs to be addressed is that boundary schools pull students from a defined area and non-boundary schools have no such constraints,” Hess said. “That’s it. It’s not recruiting or transferring. It’s that non-boundary schools have no limits from where (they) can draw students. Boundary schools, obviously, have defined boundaries for enrollment.” Hall said some coaches from D-10 would like to meet with the D-10 Committee to discuss their concerns about transfers. The chairman of the committee, Pete Iacino, of Hermitage, said

Cathedral Prep, left, and McDowell High School, rivals on the football ﬁeld, are also at odds over whether Pennsylvania should have separate high school playoffs for “boundary” schools, or public schools, and “non-boundary schools,” or parochial, private and charter schools. [FILE PHOTO/ERIE TIMES-NEWS]

he is aware of the request for a meeting and said the committee expects to hear the concerns at D-10’s next regular meeting, in mid-August. “We will consider lots of things at that meeting,” Iacino said. Other views Among those on the 19-member D-10 committee is its secretary, Bill Flanagan, who is the athletic director for the all-boys Cathedral Prep and the all-girls Villa Maria Academy. Those Roman Catholic schools, home to some of the most successful high school sports programs in the state, want to see the playoff system remain as is, Flanagan said. “PIAA has had a postseason system in place for a number of years that has seen various changes, but we believe there should not be a separate playoff for boundary and non-boundary schools,” Flanagan said. “There are public schools that do what Cathedral Prep and Villa Maria do, which is charge tuition, in their case for out-of-district students should they want to attend that school.” As for the transfer restrictions, Flanagan said, “We would support PIAA with whatever policy they have with regards to transfer regulations.” Hall said McDowell, Prep’s archrival in sports, does not accept tuition-paying students. The Erie School District, the region’s largest school system with 11,500 students, requires tuitionpaying students to play sports for their home school districts, Erie schools Superintendent Brian Polito said. Polito said he has mainly been following the push to make transfer rules more stringent. “We think that is a good idea,” he said. Other school districts in Erie County accept tuitionpaying students, particularly for students of district employees who live outside the district, school officials said. But Hall said the Erie County school districts have board policies against bringing in tuition-paying students to play sports. “No districts have the ability to recruit athletes and have them pay tuition,” Hall said. Richard Scaletta, superintendent of the General McLane School District, said he also sees flaws in the system but said he is unsure of a solution. He suggested the PIAA use a multiplier, in which non-boundary schools could be moved up a classification, or use an algorithm or other statistical tool to gauge competitiveness and determine which teams play one another. “While the transfer rule is laudable, it’s just not enforceable,” Scaletta said. “Anyone considering shelling out the money a private school charges for tuition is going to consider the extracurriculars offered. Extracurriculars are a big part of American education,

so naturally, athletics and other activities will be a consideration. “If a private school wants to brand itself as an athletic powerhouse, good for them. I get that they need to be offering something to attract students,” Scaletta said. “But PIAA needs to recognize that as a reality and account for it when grouping schools for competition.” Asked whether separate playoffs are an answer, Scaletta said: “Possibly, but I understand there are some issues with that. For example, some private/charter schools operate in areas where, though not confined by boundaries, they have limited population to draw from. That would give them a smaller talent pool than schools in a more populated area.” Eventually, Scaletta said, “With enough time and the appropriate minds, perhaps the best of all imperfect solutions could be found.” A statewide issue The responsibility for regulating high school sports in Pennsylvania falls solely to the PIAA, whose board includes the heads of the 12 district committees statewide. As chairman of the D-10 Committee, Iacino sits on the PIAA board. The PIAA has not proposed changing the playoff system, though the organization has undertaken a number of measures to tighten regulations for transfers. The association’s executive director, Robert A. Lombardi, said any changes to the playoff system would require approval from lawmakers in Harrisburg. A 1972 law, Act 219, mandated the current setup. It states that “Private schools shall be permitted, if otherwise qualified, to be members of the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association.” Before then, public and private schools had separate championships. To return to such a system would be illegal unless the General Assembly takes action, Lombardi said. But the talks are continuing. Lombardi on Wednesday met with two state senators — Scott Martin, of Lancaster County, and Robert Tomlinson, of Bucks County, both Republicans — to discuss transfers and the playoff system. “It was a very positive meeting,” said Melissa N. Mertz, PIAA’s associate executive director, who attended with Lombardi. The transfer and playoff issues have gained attention statewide partly because of some high-profile transfers. They include Diamond Johnson, a star basketball player in Virginia who was allowed to transfer to Philadelphia’s Neumann-Goretti High School in time for the PIAA basketball playoffs in March. The team won its third consecutive Class 3A title. At the meeting with the senators, Mertz said, she and Lombardi discussed how the PIAA has changed transfer

rules to address competitiveness. Also, Mertz said, she and Lombardi explained that the PIAA board in 2011 was ready to move ahead with a separation for boundary and non-boundary schools, but that the board’s oversight committee ended the proposal over concerns about violating the 1972 law. “It was made loud and clear to us that they did not want that to happen,” Mertz said of the oversight committee. Mertz said most of the complaints the PIAA hears about deal with private schools dominating public schools. She said the PIAA’s changes to transfer rules place more restrictions on students who want to leave a school and still play sports for another. • In December, the PIAA board passed an amendment requiring students who practice with one school in a sport and transfer to another school to sit out 21 days before competing for the new school. Students previously could transfer in the middle of a sports season and be ruled eligible. The change was effective April 1. • In March, the PIAA passed an amendment that prohibits a student from playing a sport at his or her new school if that student had already participated in 50 percent of the maximum number of regular-season contests in that sport at the student’s old school. The change, which also discourages in-season transfers, also became effective April 1. • At its May 23 meeting, the PIAA is to discuss a proposal that would prohibit students from playing in postseason contests at their new schools if the students transfer between their junior and senior year, which Mertz said would apply to transfers during the junior year. She also said some discussion has arisen about restricting transfers during sophomore year, though no such proposal is on the table. If adopted, the rule about junior transfers, like the other amendments to the transfer regulations, would include exceptions, such as when a student changes schools because of a move, the PIAA said. The proposal regarding junior transfers is up for a first reading on May 23, and three readings are usually required for the PIAA board to pass a rule. But the PIAA could also suspend its rules and pass a proposal after one or two readings. In that case, the transfer proposal would be in place for the 2018-19 year. The PIAA in 2018-19 will also introduce an online portal designed to help the association better track student transfers. Mertz said the online system, which she said should be operational this summer, is a way for the PIAA to keep up on transfers without relying on paper records. “We want to track and see kids who are making moves,” Mertz said. “Are See SCHOOLS, A9

A total of 85 students in schools in District 10 have been allowed to transfer in 2017-18 and play sports at their new schools, according to the D-10 Committee, the regional governing body of the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association. D-10 encompasses the counties of Erie, Crawford, Warren, Venango, Forest and Mercer. The transfers were of two types: 81 uncontested, or principal-to-principal transfers, in which principals signed off on the transfers; and four contested transfers, which the D-10 Committee granted after hearings. The committee in those cases had to decide whether a transfer involved “athletic intent” and is thus prohibited. No one appealed the D-10 Committee rulings to the PIAA. This list does not include 20 approved transfers for foreignexchange students. The D-10 information also includes no details on the students’ years, such as sophomore or junior, or what sports they play. Uncontested transfers • 13 — Cathedral Prep.

Millcreek dropped an objection for the transfer of another football player, Shelby Wiley, who played defensive back for McDowell, and he was allowed to transfer to Prep without a hearing. All four students are juniors. The D-10 Committee closed the hearings, citing student privacy concerns. And the PIAA, also citing privacyconcerns,redacted the letters the committee sent the affected schools about the reasons the committee approved the transfers. The Erie Times-News requested the letters. Hall, who attended the transfer hearing for Schleicher, said he would rather those hearings not take place. His sentiments were similar to those of other superintendents, who said they are reluctant to challenge transfers because of the difficulty of proving “athleticintent”andbecauseof the personal nature of the challenges. “I am not a fan of prohibiting a high school student from going after what he or she wants,”

Hall said. “That’s why I say, let it happen, but just regulate it better.” He said he believes the separate playoffs would eliminate the need for transfer hearings between boundary and non-boundary schools. “It’s time to change the athletic transfer rule.

Chief Dan Spizarny said. "It will take us through the summer months," he said. Erie police Lt. Stan Green, who coordinates the Little Italy patrols, said the 173member police bureau will once again send out city police officers and Erie County sheriff's deputies to

ll we need is one inch of snow. One freak May storm. But as of Monday, we were nine-tenths of an inch shy of tying Buffalo's all-time snow record of 199.4 inches, which was set in the winter of 1976-77. And the National Weather Service's 15-day forecast does not include a single day below 32 degrees. So, I am coming to terms with the reality that this epic Erie winter will likely finish No. 2, just shy of the record. What's worse, Buffalo seems to be gloating. I want Buffalo's record. And I must admit to a great deal of disappointment that we might not get it. In conversations around town, I know others share that sentiment. But why? Surely, 198.5 inches is enough. At that, we shattered the old Erie record of 149.1 inches, which was set during the winter of 2000-01, by more than four feet. Four. Feet. Maybe I want a winter that's been so epic for Erie to be unequivicable elsewhere — particularly in Buffalo, the snow capital of the Great Lakes. Buffalo got its record on the back of the Blizzard of '77. We got close because of our Christmas storm, which dumped 84.3 inches on Erie over the course of a week.

Parking Authority aims to finalize tech upgrades By Kevin Flowers kevin.flowers@timesnews.com

Erie Parking Authority's executive director plans to use an upcoming state conference to help narrow the authority's choice of vendors for new parking meter technology as part of its plan to implement widespread upgrades, primarily downtown. Raymond Massing plans to attend the Pennsylvania Parking Association's annual conference and trade show in Pittsburgh May 2-4. Several of the nation's top vendors will be there, along with their machines and equipment, and Massing said

the meeting will help him narrow the candidates to implement parking technology upgrades in Erie. The authority plans to test the technology downtown this summer, possibly as soon as July, Massing said. "Basically, all of my options will be in Pittsburgh," said Massing, who has already met with several vendors. "And many of them know that Erie's looking to upgrade, because the word is out. So I expect to come back from that meeting with some solid recommendations for vendors." See UPGRADES, B7

He continued his education at Kent State University, where he completed a Master’s degree in School Psychology and a Ph.D. in Special Education. Nick worked as a psychologist in his private practice, at many schools and agencies, and was an adjunct professor at local universities. Nick always gave his time and talent to working one on one with kids, Our Lady of Peace School, the Focolare Movement, and his church. He was most happy helping people. As much as he loved his family, work, and service, Nick loved baseball. He played softball, fumbleball, and baseball, some years playing on multiple teams, until he was 70 years old, and even made it to the world series! Many nights were spent in the emergency room with a broken nose or finger from attempting to catch a ball in the outfield or sliding/ fumbling into every base. He had a record number of broken noses. Nick also loved reading, history, and especially music-—both trying to sing and trying to dance. He was even banned from the Maennerchor Club for doing his signature slide at his good friends’ wedding reception. Even after his memory faded, he didn’t forget how to dance. He taught his kids to play all the key games: H-O-R-S-E, flashlight tag, poker, mumblety-peg, pool, wrestling, and of course, baseball. He made infamous Thanksgiving Day scavenger hunts. Nick was preceded in death by his parents, Carmela Marie (Mancuso) DeFazio and Nicholas Anthony DeFazio; infant brother, Raymond DeFazio; in-laws, Ruth and David Levin; as well as beloved grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins.

Elizabeth “Betty” Helen Mohlman

Elizabeth “Betty” Helen Mohlman (nee Burmester) passed away peacefully on April 20, 2018, at her residence in Woodbridge, Conn. Born in 1917, she lived for more than a century.

Burmester (nee Smith), her brother Dell A. Burmester, her husband of 59 years Robert David Mohlman and her son Stephen Dell Mohlman. Betty was born in Detroit, Michigan when that city was rapidly becoming the center of manufacturing in the world and a very exciting place to grow up. She attended Wayne State University in Detroit and received her B.A. in teaching in 1938, followed by a Master’s Degree in Art Education during the war years, so exceptional for a woman in those days. She belonged to the American Association of University Women for many years. She married Robert on October 1, 1942 and had her first born Stephen in an Army Hospital in 1944 near Salt Lake City, Utah. One of her most enduring memories was the trip she took back to Detroit on a troop train, alone with her new born son. Her husband had been shipped out in late 1944 and did not return home until the spring of 1946. In the early 1950s they moved to Erie, Pa., where they reared their two sons and lived until 1967, when Robert was transferred to Portland, Ore. In 1977, they returned to Erie for their retirement, where they were active in the First Methodist Church, square dancing clubs and traveling the world. She was artistically gifted and enjoyed painting, quilting, stitchery and sewing. In 2003, she moved to Connecticut following her husband’s death to live near her son and his family. The family is grateful to the many health care providers who assisted her in her final years, especially Dr. David Simon, Dr. Nauman Chaudhry, Michael Allegrini, P.A.C. and the staff at the Brookdale in Woodbridge, Conn. Memorial services will be private Arrangements are in care of The Celentano Funeral Home, New Haven, Conn., www.celentanofuneralhome.com.

Dennis Oborski, 47, and his son Colin, 12, joined hundreds of volunteers to help clean beaches during the 62nd annual spring cleanup at Presque Isle State Park on Saturday. “It’s amazing what we found,” Oborski said. “Just in this small area, probably a quarter mile, we found lots of bottles and plastic.” Emily Pritchard, an environmental educator with the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, helped direct volunteers to different sites throughout the 3,112-acre park. “Plastics are really our focus this year,” Pritchard said. “We’re asking people to focus in on the sand and ground and get as many small bits of plastic as they can. We know that plastics break down into smaller pieces, so we’re asking folks to maybe slow down, focus on a small area and get it as clean as possible.”

VIEWPOINT OUR VIEW

T H O U G H T F O R T O DAY A great many people think they are thinking when they are merely rearranging their prejudices.” — William James

ANOTHER VIEW

Vision taking shape for new bayfront link The issue: Connecting downtown, bayfront Our view: Key need being addressed

hen the consultants behind the Erie Refocused comprehensive plan looked at Erie’s bayfront, they saw wasted potential. “If there is a more squandered asset in America than the city of Erie’s shoreline, it is hard to imagine,” lead consultant Charles Buki wrote in a letter delivered with the plan. The solution to that, Erie Refocused recommends, is creating “an iconic connection” between the bayfront and downtown Erie. That connection should include easier, safer access for pedestrians and bicyclists, it said. The paradox of the Bayfront Parkway since the first stretch of it was completed in 1990 has been that it opened up access to the waterfront while also creating a barrier of sorts between the bayfront and Erie’s downtown and adjacent neighborhoods. The disconnect is both physical and psychological. Like much of what Erie Refocused recommends, bridging that divide figured to be a heavy lift logistically and financially. Then civic leaders promptly got to lifting in concert with the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation. And now, less than two years later, we’re getting a picture of what the result might look like. As reporter Valerie Myers details, the preferred option appears to be routing Bayfront Parkway traffic beneath State Street. That option was added to PennDOT’s existing planning efforts to align them with the vision of Erie Refocused. State Street would become a bridge over the parkway, with paths for pedestrians and cyclists. That would make access from downtown to the bayfront, and vice versa, much safer on a bicycle or on foot. PennDOT officials caution that the decision to take that approach hasn’t been made yet. Issues still to be worked out include “things like right-of-way impacts, railroad coordination and public involvement,” PennDOT project manager Mark Nicholson told Myers. “It’s the idea that’s the most talked about,” he said. “We know that or a variation of it is the one that would get the most support if we’re able to move forward.” It certainly seems to offer part of what the public wants. Nicholson said earlier this year that improved connectivity for cyclists and pedestrians was by far the priority mentioned most frequently by people who participated in surveys about that traffic corridor. Nicholson said work on that connection is at least two years off. Issues still to be addressed include what changes will be needed elsewhere on downtown streets before State Street and the parkway are shut down for an extended period. That time frame amounts to a fast track for a project as big and complicated as this one. PennDOT officials deserve credit for working with a sense of urgency to match the speed of large-scale developments planned or underway on the bayfront and downtown.

YO U R V I E W

Let’s be clear about the Border Patrol’s purview John Baker, it seems my letter about the Border Patrol hit a nerve with you. I would like to inform you of two things you should already know, but as you stated, I am the one who is uninformed. 1) The Border Patrol job description — officers work for U.S. Customs and Border Protection, which is an arm of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. They are responsible for monitoring and protecting 8,000 miles of international borders to make sure illegal immigrants, drugs and goods do not come into the country. 2) Border Patrol mission statement — the priority mission of the Border Patrol is preventing terrorists and terrorist weapons, including weapons of mass destruction, from entering the United States. Now, I don’t know where the letter writer read into that that the Border Patrol has authority to take a weapon into our schools, but they cannot. They have no authority to enforce state or local laws. Period. I recall a few years ago a border agent arrested a lady for driving under the influence. The judge tossed out all charges because the border agent had no authority. Their job is immigration, that’s all. You stated the Border Patrol collaborated with law enforcement and the U.S. Coast Guard for Tall Ships Erie. I have no problem with that because the lake is the border. Local middle schools are not the border. Now, that’s the way it’s supposed to work. — Mike Habursky, Harborcreek

freedom and it doesn’t take hate to keep our boat afloat. — Ray Jones, Erie

Liberals, Democrats, media blind to Trump’s impact I would like one of the bleeding-heart liberals to explain to me why they believe in open borders, why they support sanctuary cities and states, why they see no problem with illegal immigrants voting, why they can’t understand that guns don’t kill, people do, why they couldn’t see that the prior federal administration was corrupt, why they don’t realize that there are only two genders, and why they continue to support the Democratic Party. I was a long-term registered Democrat mainly because most of my family were and I happened to like John Kennedy. I’ll admit that I paid little attention to politics and, because I was in the military for 22 years, I rarely voted and knew little about the issues. I don’t believe that only Democratic politicians are anti-American and out to line their pockets. Republicans are just as capable of misdeeds. However, I couldn’t in good faith vote for Hillary Clinton. I felt that the majority of Democrats were talking one way, but doing the opposite. Donald Trump hit all of the correct buttons and he’s doing more good for the country in the short time he’s been in office than President Barack Obama did in eight years. That’s very easy to see except for the mainstream media, Hollywood and liberals. People had better wake up and start to pay attention. — S.V. Nardo, Millcreek

America should embrace, not spurn, rule of law

Bizzarro said ‘no’ to Down Syndrome Protection Act

We as a nation should never be concerned about creation or evolution. Devolution should be our main concern. Rule of law is the glue that keeps our society together. America, one day we are with the world — against war, against environmental pollution. But just like the plastic garbage stagnating off our shared Northern Pacific Ocean, we now have a government that doesn’t care. It is more concerned about weaponry than diplomacy. Russia is a good example of how you can alienate yourself from being respected in the world. Americans love

This letter is to all of the constituents of the 3rd District of the state House of Representatives currently served by Rep. Ryan Bizzarro. On April 16, the House voted 139 to 56, or 71 percent, to pass the Down Syndrome Protection Act. Unfortunately, our representative voted no. The argument of over right to life or right to choose will continue to be debated, but the horrible act of killing someone based on a disability is beyond understanding. If this were allowed, where would it stop? Bizzarro owes us an explanation. Was it a vote for the party, so that he may

further his political career? Or is this the vote of a very cold heart? Either way, I believe it’s time to change our representative in the 3rd District. — Eric Albright, Millcreek

Made in Erie design lab offers tools, inspiration I had a wonderful experience at the Made In Erie Product Design Lab event at the Blasco Library. I guess I should not be too surprised that such a futurefocused space is at our library, since Erie historically has been filled with people who see the future and grab it. I brought my son with me to the event. He is 17 years old and has been accepted to Villanova, Drexel, Penn State and Lehigh universities. His passion is engineering. He also wants a degree in business. Judy Lynch gave a wonderful presentation about Erie’s impressive manufacturing history. I found it very motivating since I am going to be competing in the Innovation Erie design competition. Listening to Lynch, my son found the perfect theme for the graduation speech he hopes to give. She mentioned how Matthew Griswold went to Yale then brought his knowledge back home to Erie and ultimately landed the GE contract that completely changed our area at that time. That concept of leaving and coming back to better and grow your home inspired him as a direction for his speech. The Made In Erie Design Lab offers unexpected inspiration in a modern, inviting environment. Ideas that can turn into industry. The space is designed to open you up and facilitate progress. I feel like I have found a group and a place that is interested in educating and supporting and facilitating people like me, people who have ideas but do not have all of the answers or resources. People should come down and use it. Find brand new inspiration or enhance what you are already involved in. — Mandy Myers, Erie

Can we get some mini-bats to address bear threat? Now that wild bears have been sighted and captured on the streets of Erie, will city government provide residents with mini-baseball bats for protection? — Dave Layman, Erie

The authority must request formal proposals from vendors, then accept contracts, before a test area can be put in place. Massing has said there are three components to the proposed upgrades: • Pay-by-phone technology, which allows users to buy meter time with the aid of a phone app at designated single-space parking spots or surface lots. The system will also send a text message to a person’s cell phone if their meter time is running out and more time needs to be purchased.That technology can also be used at sites withexistingmetersbecause Parking Authority enforcement employees would be equipped with hand-held devices that can tell them quickly if a vehicle has used the app to pay for parking. Massing said that’s important because the upgrade plan will replace many but not all of the city’s 1,400 coin-operated parking meters. •New kiosks that can

The machines could also send text alerts if someone’s meter time is expiring. •Computer software, tied into the Parking Authority’s offices and City Hall’s parkingticketoffice,whichtracks parking tickets and related information, and is linked to apps, kiosks or parking enforcement officers’ handheld devices. Massing has said the exact cost of a large-scale upgrade of the parking meter system, over several years, could be as much as $2 million. The upgrades will be paid for, in part, through higher fines andpenalitiesthattakeeffect July 1. The changes have been approved by Erie City Council. Massing added that the Parking Authority could also contribute roughly $300,000 of its reserve funds to the upgrades, and could borrow additional money to help pay for the improvements. Erie Mayor Joe Schember has met with Massing about the initiative. Schember said he’s satisfied with how the plan is progressing.

“We’re still back in the 1960swithourcurrenttechnology, that’s how I feel,” Schember said. “We need to get upgraded.” Schember added that the Parking Authority’s plans alignwithErie’s“smartcity” initiative, which the Erie Innovation District is spearheading. Smart cities are urban areas that use different forms of electronic data collection,includingsensors, to supply information that is then used to efficiently manageassetsandresources. Free high-speed Wi-Fi in Perry Square, a video surveillance system in the park that can alert law enforcement to potential threats, and energy-efficient LED lightsplannedfordowntown utility poles are part of Erie’s smart city plan, which will kick off this summer. Massing said he has talked with Innovation District officials about the planned improvements. “We’re both trying to do the same thing — upgrade the technology downtown,” Massing said.

OATHOUT From Page B1

With or without dethroning Buffalo, this will be a winter to remember. It was relentless. It broke my snowblower, destroyed my rhododendrons, and pulled some of the gutters off my house. I never knew I needed a roof rake before this year, and I still never got one. And I never knew snow potholes — snotholes? — could exist. In short, this winter taught me things. And it reminded me of Erie’s grit. We just kept going. Now that the temperatures are climbing into the 60s and 70s, I resolve to embrace

what spring and summer we might have. And I might even be OK with finishing in second place. But I know Erie’s weather well enough to not count winter out just yet. Strange things can happen. In fact, the National Weather Service says it has snowed more than an inch twice after April 24— 1.2 inches on May 10, 1923, and 6 inches on April 29, 1909. So, snow in May is not impossible.

Green said he expects the patrols to continue through the end of September. Bureau officials have said that the foot and bike patrols have been effective in curbing neighborhood problems and addressing issues brought to the attention of officers and deputies by neighbors. City police will also bring back bicycle patrols in the downtown area on weekdays starting Monday. The patrols, implemented in 2017 to replace a oneofficer downtown foot patrol that started in 2012, will feature two dedicated officers riding in an area between Sassafras and Holland streets, from 14th Street to the bayfront. One of the officers will work an 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. shift, and the other will work from noon to 8 p.m., Deputy Chief Jon

“just an energy” through their friendly and courteous service. “They’ve done more than police protection, they just added a layer of service to those in need,” Buchna said. “They’ve given directions, lots of smiles, lots of conversation, lots of engagement. We’re very thankful.” Nolan said additional bike patrols will be out in different locations at various times in the coming months, as members of the bureau’s Neighborhood Action Team and its saturation patrols are also certified to patrol on bicycles and will be riding on occasion. Spizarny and Nolan said the bureau is exploring other community policing initiatives that could work with its current staffing levels.

Nolan said. The officers will primarily patrol on bicycles, but will do foot patrols during periods of inclement weather, Nolan said. The officers will also back up patrol officers when needed, he said. Patrolman Jason Belton, who rode a bicycle downtown in 2017 and is returning to the assignment, said the bike patrols give police direct access to the public, and the public to police. He said the officers and business owners get to know each other, and the officers can address their concerns and issues. “It’s beneficial because I think it makes us more approachable,” said Belton, who will be joined by Patrolman Sal Velez on the bike patrol detail. John Buchna, the CEO of the Erie Downtown Partnership, said the bike patrols are a welcome return to Erie’s downtown, as the officers not only made a difference in keeping the area safe but also provided

All or nothing: Cavs to battle Pacers in Game 7 LeBron faces rare first-round elimination The Associated Press

CLEVELAND — LeBron James is on the brink of his earliestNBAplayoffexit—and maybeanotherdeparturefrom Cleveland. This Game 7 has a win-orleave-home element. After being bloodied and blown off the floor in Game 6 by the Pacers in Indianapolis, James and the Cavaliers staggered home with their roller-coaster season possibly headed toward a crash. Only a win on Sunday over Indiana will prevent elimination and kick-start a summer in Cleveland that will center on James, who can opt out of his $35.6 million contract and become a free agent on July 1.

With freedom comes the unpredictability he craves since graduating from SlipperyRockUniversityin 2014 with a degree in Parks & Recreation Resource Management and a school record in the 1,500 meters.

oints to ponder from the NFL Draft: • One reason behind the Pittsburgh Steelers’ selection of Oklahoma State passing duo James Washington and Mason Rudolph in the second and third rounds Friday might have been this: They’ve seen what that passing combo does against Pittsburgh.

Rudolph and Washington were a prolific combination while leading the Cowboys to three consecutive 10-3 seasons, but no one knows that better than the University of Pittsburgh. Oklahoma State beat Pitt 45-38 in 2016 and 59-21 in 2017. Rudolph, a 6-foot 5-inch, 230-pound quarterback, passed for a combined 1,037 yards and seven touchdowns in those two games. After carving up Pitt for a career-high 540 yards and two TDs in 2016, he was even better in 2017. He passed for 423 yards See KIRIK, C2

Griffin finally hears his name at NFL draft Browns pick controversial WR Callaway in 4th round The Associated Press

ARLINGTON, Texas — Shaquem Griffin came back. The crowd loved it. Players in attendance not selected in the first two days of the NFL draft usually head out of town before the fourth through seventh rounds. Griffin,whosatthrough100 names being called in the first three rounds, wasn't in AT&T Stadium on Saturday. Then he was after Seattle spent the 141st overall selection on the Central Florida linebacker who has no left hand. That fifth-round choice, announced in Seattle, drew loudcheersfromfansatJerry's World. Griffin, whose left hand was amputated when he was young, has become the feelgood story this year and one of the most popular players in thisdraftbecauseofhisperseverance, outgoing personality and, of course, his talent.

and five touchdowns in the first half against the Panthers last season before being removed from the game midway through the third quarter with 497 yards. Yikes. In those two games, Washington had 14 receptions for 420 yards and two touchdowns. In the 2016 game alone, he had nine receptions for a staggering 296 yards, including a 91-yard TD. Those numbers are huge, but they're just a fraction of the video-game stats that the duo posted. In the past two seasons, Rudolph passed for 8,995 yards and 65 TDs and 13 interceptions in 26 games. Last season, he had 11 300-yard passing games, including five 400-yard games. Washington had 145 receptions for 2,929 yards and 23 TDs in those two years.

Roethlisberger, who is 36 years old and contemplates retirement every year. Rudolph's arrival sets up an interesting training camp battle as veteran Landry Jones, secondyear man Joshua Dobbs and Rudolph compete for the two backup jobs. • The Steelers' staff must have thought that the Cincinnati Bengals were getting ready to pick Rudolph in the third round. The Steelers were set to pick right behind the Bengals, who had back-to-back picks. Pittsburgh then traded up to get in front of Cincy and selected Rudolph. • Washington joins All-Pro Antonio Brown and 2016 second-round pick Ju Ju Smith-Schuster to give the Steelers a potent trio of receivers after the departure of Martavis Bryant. At 5 feet 11 inches, Washington is much shorter than Bryant, but he's a long-ball threat who averaged 21 yards per reception last season. • One draft guru projected that the Steelers would use their first-round pick on Georgia star Sony Michel to prepare for the eventual departure of Le'Veon Bell. I love

to take one of the draft's most talented but troubled wide receivers: Florida's Antonio Callaway. He had multiple suspensions while playing with the Gators, missing all of last season because of his part in a credit card fraud scheme. He also failed a drug test at the NFL combine. When Callaway plays he is a deep threat receiver and dangerous return man, but he couldbethenextJoshGordon, who has had many off-field issues and NFL suspensions with the Browns. • Pittsburgh selected safety Marcus Allen, a proven sure tacklerduringhistimeatPenn State,onSaturday.Alsopicked was fullback Jaylen Samuels, who could be a tailback, a fullback, a tight end or even a slot receiver depending on what's required. Seventh-round pick Joshua Frazier was part of the defensive line rotation at Alabama who could press for a roster spot.

Michel's talent, but the Steelers already have an outstanding young back in Erie's James Conner. (The Patriots picked Michel shortly after the Steelers selected safety Terrell Edmunds.) Bell's endurance and prolific amount of touches don't leave many carries for backup running backs, but Conner made the most of his opportunities in 2017. He averaged 4.5 yards per carry while rushing 32 times for 144 yards before suffering a knee injury late in the year. He showed big-play flashes with six rushes of at least 10 yards. That the Steelers did not draft a running back during the first two days could mean two things: 1) Conner is healthy and the Steelers believe in him. 2) Bell will continue to pile up rushes and receptions, so drafting another backup is not a priority. • I wrote last week that the Browns should pick USC's Sam Darnold if they were going to draft a quarterback with the top overall pick. However, I will say this about their selection of Heisman Trophy winner Baker Mayfield: The guy is freakishly accurate as a

if they do and it's significant, great." • Buffalo had five selections onSaturday,includingapairof wide receivers in the sixth and seventh rounds. In the fourth round, the Bills picked Weber State cornerback Taron Johnson and followed with safety Siran Neal (Jacksonville State) and guard Wyatt Teller (Virginia Tech) in the fifth. They added wide receiver Ray-Ray McCloud (Clemson) andAustinProehl(NorthCarolina) in the seventh. • Michigan State extended its streak of having at least one player selected to 78 years when Brian Allen went to the Ramsearlyinthefourthround. Only Michigan and USC have longer streaks, both extended to80yearsduringthefirsttwo days of the draft. • The Giants took the first quarterback of the third day, Richmond's Kyle Lauletta at No. 109. The Giants passed on trying to get their quarterback of the future to replace Eli Manning in the first round, taking running back Saquon Barkley at No. 2 overall. Lauletta doesn't have a big arm, but he showed good athleticism and accuracy playing at the FCS school. 1 (28) Terrell Edmunds, s, Virginia Tech. 2 (60) James Washington, wr, Oklahoma State. 3 (76) Mason Rudolph, qb, Oklahoma State. 3 (92) Chukwuma Okorafor, ot, Western Michigan. 5 (148) Marcus Allen, s, Penn State. 5 (165) Jaylen Samuels, te, NC State. 7 (246) Joshua Frazier, dt, Alabama.

passer and he's a leader. Mayfield's physical shortcomings (he's not tall) and his instances of immaturity have drawn comparisons to Johnny Manziel, another undersized Heisman winner. The Browns, though, hope that they've picked a cornerstone player who compares favorably to a young Drew Brees on the field. • I also wrote that the No. 1 overall pick should have been Penn State's Saquon Barkley, whom the New York Giants rushed to take with the No. 2 pick after the Browns passed on him. I think Barkley will be a star. He has an amazing combination of strength and speed, but he will have to prove is that he can consistently run between the tackles with vision. He relied so much on his remarkable jump cut, acceleration and athleticism with Penn State that it's unclear whether he can be a 25-carry back who can pound the ball up the middle of a defense. I don't expect him to be the physical type of back who can wear down a defense, like Adrian Peterson and Ezekiel Elliott. I see Barkley as a larger version of Jamaal Charles,

who will have his share of negative-yardage carries but alsofrequently hit on big plays and create nightmares for defenses as a receiver. No matter what, Barkley will be fun to watch. • I did like the Bills' pick of linebacker Tremaine Edmunds, but I have doubts about their decision to trade up to get Josh Allen. I see the guy's size, big arm and athleticism, but I would be concerned about a quarterback who never completed more than 56 percent of his passes and threw 21 interceptions in two years as a college starter. In 11 games with Wyoming last season, he had just three 200-yard passing games (208, 219, 234) and one 300-yard passing game (and that came against Gardner-Webb). Granted, he was playing injured part of the season. Maybe his obvious physical gifts will translate better to the pro game, but it's hard to believe that he will be a long-term star if he couldn't dominate against mediocre college competition.

Malkin might return for Pens in Game 2 vs. Caps NHL playoffs

The Associated Press

Second round: Game 2 Penguins at Capitals Today, 3 p.m., WICU (Penguins lead series 1-0)

The road back to the Stanley Cup Final took two very different turns for the Penguins and Predators at the start of the second round. Back-to-back defending champion Pittsburgh roared back from a twogoal, third-period deficit to beat the Washington Capitals, while the Winnipeg Jets chased Nashville goaltender Pekka Rinne in a convincing 4-1 victory in Game 1. As each team prepares for Game 2, two key pieces could be ready to help. Penguins center Evgeni Malkin practiced Saturday and is on the verge of returning to the lineup after missing the past two games with an apparent leg injury. Coach Mike Sullivan called Malkin a game-time decision, though signs are pointing to the Russian star playing Sunday at Washington. "If I'm playing, I'm ready to play," Malkin said. "If you play, you need to show you can, you show you're 100 percent. It's not like the regular season. You can't play slow the first period and be better in third. If I play, if I'm ready, I'm ready first shift." Predators winger Auston Watson skated just seven

first-period shifts Friday night before leaving with an undisclosed injury. His teammates outshot the Jets 48-19 and still lost, though a healthy Watson for Game 2 back in Music City could make a difference as the defending Western Conference champions try to even the series between the NHL's top two teams. The Penguins and Predators each took care of business in six games in the first round. Malkin had three goals and two assists in five games before being injured against Philadelphia, and the line of Colton Sissons, former Pittsburgh center Nick Bonino and Watson combined for 19 points in beating Colorado. It's impossible to overstate Malkin's value to the Penguins. Top-line winger Jake Guentzel called Malkin's potential return a "game-changer," restoring one of their most dangerous options on the power play and at even strength after a season in which the 31-year-old forward put up 98 points. Malkin skated on the fourth line between rookie Zack Aston-Reese and Tom Kuhnhackl at practice and on the first power-play unit. If he plays, it wouldn't be in a limited role.

SeaWolves lose 2nd straight to Rumble Ponies Erie struggles at plate; Binghamton’s Tebow goes 0-for-3 By Tom Reisenweber tom.reisenweber@timesnews.com

The SeaWolves continue to put in extra work before games, but they keep struggling at the plate in big situations. Erie scratched across two runs in the sixth inning to get within one run, but Binghamton pulled away for a 6-2 win Saturday in front of 2,386 fans at UPMC Park. “We're going to keep working, and we did extra hitting (Saturday),” said SeaWolves manager Andrew Graham. “We've put in a lot of early work in the cage and on the field, and we are doing all we can. It'll turn around. They have some veteran pitchers that were in the big leagues that mixed pitches well and kept the ball down in the zone.” Erie (7-13) and Binghamton (10-9) will wrap up the threegame series Sunday at 1:35 p.m. Binghamton raced out to a 3-0 lead in the first innings as Levi Michael ripped a two-out RBI single and prospect Peter Alonso crushed a two-run home run to right-center. The SeaWolves finally broke through in the sixth inning as Kenny Wilson singled in one run before A.J. Simcox lifted a sacrifice fly to make it 3-2. Erie didn't get a shutdown inning from the bullpen after the rally as Jeff McNeil hammered a solo home run to right. “We came back to score twice, but we gave up a run right away,” Graham said. “We needed that shutdown inning after scoring and we haven't been doing that lately.” The SeaWolves had just one baserunner the rest of the game as they couldn't rally against the Binghamton bullpen. “We got behind in counts, and even when we got ahead, we couldn't put guys away,” Graham

said. “The long ball hurt us again, and we need to start doing the things that other teams are doing to win games.” Kyle Funkhouser allowed three runs, two earned, in 5 ⅔ innings to get the loss for the SeaWolves, while Jeff Thompson allowed one run in 1 ⅓ innings and Mark Ecker allowed two runs in two innings of relief. Graham met with the team before the game to try and get them back on track. “We talked with the guys

(Saturday) about it being a mental game and they need to be mentally tough,” Graham said. “We're not winning games that we should, and luck isn't on our side, but we have to get back at it Sunday and grind out every game.” Notes: Erie reliever Adam Ravenelle was placed on the disabled listwithastrainedrotatorcuff.He will head to Florida to rehab and could be out three to four weeks according to Graham. Former Erie pitcher Kurt Spomer was sent to Erie from extended spring training to replace Ravenelle. ... Tim Tebow went 0-for-3 with a walk and two strikeouts for Binghamton.

BASEBALL IN BRIEF

Ohtani out of Angels’ lineup against Tanaka

Cubs’ Bryant returns after missing 4 games

ANAHEIM, Calif.— Japanese star Shohei Ohtani was out of the starting lineup for the Los Angeles Angels’ game against the New York Yankees. Ohtani is day to day with a mild left ankle sprain after the two-way sensation got hurt trying to beat out a grounder in the fifth inning of Los Angeles’ 4-3 victory Friday night. He homered against Luis Severino earlier in the game. The 23-year-old Ohtani was set to face countryman Masahiro Tanaka for the first time in the majors. The two played against each other in Japan in 2013 when Ohtani was a teenager. He never had a hit against Tanaka, Saturday’s scheduled starter for the Yankees.

CHICAGO— Chicago Cubs slugger Kris Bryant returned to the lineup on Saturday, six days after being hit in the head by a pitch in a game at Colorado. Bryant hit third in Chicago’s game against the Milwaukee Brewers after missing four games. He wore a protective flap on his helmet. The pitch from Rockies’ German Marquez hit the brim of Bryant’s batting helmet and then struck him in the forehead. Bryant, who wasn’t diagnosed with a concussion, was medically cleared to play Saturday. Also, the Cubs activated Ben Zobrist (back tightness) from the 10-day disabled list and optioned David Bote to Triple-A Iowa.

Twins’ Buxton out indeﬁnitely with hairline fracture in toe MINNEAPOLIS— The Minnesota Twins say outfielder Byron Buxton is out indefinitely with a hairline fracture of his left big toe. Twins manager Paul Molitor said Saturday that an MRI confirmed the injury, which occurred when Buxton fouled a ball off his toe in a rehab game in Florida last Sunday. Buxton had been placed on the 10-day DL on April 18 because of migraines. The team was hoping to get him back during its homestand wrapping up on Thursday. But Molitor said that’s no longer likely. Buxton is off to a slow start at the plate, hitting just .195 in 11 games. The Associated Press

It’s the kind of game James lives to play. “It’sjusttheloveofthegame and wanting to be remembered,” James said following a demoralizing 121-87 loss Fridaynight.“Game7,Ialways said, is the two greatest words in sports. Us having a Game 7 on ourfloor,our fansaregoing to be truly excited to be a part of that. And hope our guys are excited about that as well, and understandthatjustdon’ttake those moments for granted. “I’ve been a part of Game 7s for quite a while now and it’s just something that you wish you can get back when you’re done playing the game.” James has never lost a firstround series, going 12-0 with many of them sweeps on his way to winning three championships and seven straight appearances in the Finals. But nothing has come easy for the 33-year-old or the Cavs, whose regular-season flaws — suspect defense, no reliable second scoring option — have been exposed by the young-and-hungry Pacers. Indiana has taken it to Cleveland, and the fifthseeded Pacers believe they can win one more and finally take down James, who has

ended their season three times in the playoffs since 2013. “We were confident even before this series started,” said Indiana All-Star Victor Oladipo, who snapped out of a shooting slump to score 28 in Game 6. “We’re still confident now. Game 7 is going to be a hostile environment. It’s going to be very emotional. But we’re looking forward to the challenge. It’s going to be a dog fight. “We know they’re going to be ready. And we have to be, too.” Before losing Game 6, James’ teams had won 11 straight close-out games. The streak ending was hardly his fault. The four-time MVP scored 22 points with seven rebounds and five rebounds in 31 minutes before sitting out the entire fourth quarter to rest when it became obvious the Cavs were not coming back. James has been brilliant throughout the series, averaging 32.7 points, 10.3 rebounds and 7.8 assists. Trouble is, he’s been doing it all by himself.

Harbor Creek boys win home invitational Starvaggi fuels Huskies win at Weitz Stadium By Mike Copper mike.copper@timesnews.com

Madeline Curtis was among the track and field winners during the 12th annual Harbor Creek Invitational. Curtis, a distance specialist for the host Huskies, won the girls 1,600-meter race in 5 minutes, 35.50 seconds. The sophomore then discussed her performance and made a statement shared by many during Saturday’s dreary meet at Paul J. Weitz Stadium. “I thought it was a decent time,” Curtis said, “given how the weather has been.” Curtis meant this spring in general and in particular a meet originally scheduled April 14. It was postponed days before because of a bleak weather forecast. Saturday, though, still offered Harbor Creek the kind of conditions school officials sought to avoid. Temperatures were in the upper 30s, with wind and rain that made it feel much worse. “This season, it’s been very frustrating,” Curtis said. “I feel like we’re all so far behind with practices.” Still, the meet went on and the athletes persevered. Some, like Harbor Creek’s boys, better than others. The Huskies won the meet’s team title with 181½ points. They particularly thrived in track, with Ryan Starvaggi a triple victor. Starvaggi finished first in the 800 final at 2:02.59. The junior also ran legs for the hosts’ first-place 1,600 (3:41.84) and 3,200 (8:26.72) relays. Scott Stanyard, a sophomore, had the low time of 23.47 in the 200 final. He also led off Harbor Creek’s Track and field Saturday's track and ﬁeld results for the 12th annual Harbor Creek Invitational at Paul J. Weitz Stadium:

1,600 relay. Dylan Yount and Caleb Mandel were other double victors for the Huskies, who also took home the team trophy from last weekend’s Fairview Invitational. Josh Lewis denied Starvaggi a fourth first-place medal for the meet. The North East junior beat his Harbor Creek rival by more than six seconds (4:30.29) in the 1,600. Lewis called upon his training as a cross-country runner to ready and prepare himself for Saturday’s weather. “That was a good race for me,” he said. “It was kind of taxing at the beginning, but I brought it home hard.” Lewis went on to sweep the meet’s distance events. He dominated the 3,200 at 9:51.37, with Harbor Creek’s Aiden Weber a distance second at 10:13.72. Erie High’s meet debut included a first-place performance in the boys 400 relay. Tajan Carr, Tyquan Craig, Jalen Rhodes and anchor Takir Bolden were timed at 46.86. The Royals also had their first female champ for Harbor Creek’s meet. Junior Amiyah Lesczczynski recorded the best attempt in the long jump at 14 feet, 11½ inches. Erie High, with 78½ points, was third in the team standings behind the champion Lakeview Sailors (98) and the District 9 Bradford Owls (91). Lakeview quartets won two of the meet’s three relays. The Sailors also had four individual titlists in Michaela Rose (100 at 12.81), Kendra Benton (100 hurdles at 15.98), Cecily Greggs (high jump at 5-2) and Taylor Maxwell (pole vault at 9-0).

Kisnerholedthreebirdie putts from 20 feet or more and teamed with Brown to shoot an 8-under 64 in better ball on Saturday. They topped a crowded leaderboard that featured 13 teams within four shots of the lead. “It was a dogfight for us today,” Brown said. “I felt like Kevin played great.

OUTDOORS Gear to help with turkey hunting Mike Bleech

o now you have had a morning of spring gobbler hunting under your belt. If you are among the large majority of hunters who have not yet tagged a gobbler, maybe it is because you did not use any of this near turkey hunting gear. Maybe not. With apologies to all of the new gear that did not register high on my enthusiasm meter, what follows are some new items that might help area hunters bag their birds. A turkey hunter vest is a big deal. You will sit much more comfortably and squirm much less in a vest that has a comfortable seat.

ELLIOTT

My own turkey vest is getting old. It might be the first one I ever had. Now my eyes are scanning the ads and sporting goods store shelves looking for just the right new vest. One on the radar screen is the new ALPS OutdoorZ Impact Vest. Of course, the impact I am looking for is less impact on my old butt. This vest appears to have an unusually comfortable seat. The Impact Vest has all of the essential pockets to fit just about any kind of turkey call. You may also appreciate that the seat folds completely away while walking, or it can be removed. View ALPS OutdoorZ products at their website, www.alpsbrands.com. Since during the crucial last minutes of a spring gobbler hunt, the hunter's hands move more than any other part of the body. So it stands to reason that hands should be camouflaged. Camouflage turkey

hunting gloves are not a new idea. However, Allen Co. has gone a bit farther with the turkey glove concept with their new Shocker Turkey Hunting Gloves. Do not burn out any brain cells wondering how the glove can be improved. Here is the deal: These specialty turkey hunting gloves have pockets made specifically to carry diaphragm calls on top of the gloves. Spur length guides are on the palms. Fingertip design allows hunters to text or operate a camera. Oldtimers such as myself could not care squat about those things, however, dextrous fingertips can be very helpful. These gloves are not bulky. Get a good grip with their Turkey Track Pattern Silicone Grip on the palms. The camouflage pattern is Mossy Oak Obsession, which is the official camouflage pattern of the National Wild Turkey Federation. The Mossy Oak

website shows many products and helpful information for spring gobbler hunters, www.mossyoak.com. Spring gobbler hunting season occurs during a period when the weather can be highly variable, while weather in general tends to get warmer through the season. Dress in layers to keep comfortable through the hunt. Likely a good deal of the season you will just wear a vest over pants and shirt. Field & Stream has a nice Men’s Cotton Ripstop Shirt. This material is ideal for rugged outdoors wear. It is breathable, making it great when temperatures rise. Same goes for the Field & Stream Men’s Cotton Twill Pants, which are breathable and durable. Top off pants and shirt with a Field & Stream Every Hunt Turkey Vest. Ripstop material is perfect for a spring gobbler vest. Part of the vest is

mesh to help hunters stay comfortable when temperatures rise. The padded seat has a PVC-coated bottom to prevent a wet behind. This is important. How about a wild turkey call that most anyone can use effectively with very little practice? New from Flextone, the Turkey Man ‘Ol Faithful box call should fit this mold. It is made with exotic eucalyptus to produce tones throughout the range. Each side is a different tone. The volume of this call makes it perfect for loud cuts to bring in distant gobblers. Flextone also has a few new diaphragm calls for coaxing gobblers to a decoy. The Turkey Man Drama Mamma has to be something special.

ON TOP OF THE WORLD

40, the 2007 USA Trail Marathon Championship winner whoco-ownsFootRxRunning Asheville,arunningandwalkingspecialtystorewhereElliott workswhenhe’snottakinghis passionfortrailrunningonthe road.“That’swhynotasmany people know about Morgan, and I think he’s OK with that. He makes his statement when he steps on the line and gets to the finish line in first.” Elliott said big-money national races have modest $1,000 top prizes on average, with top runners earning as much as $4,000 in bonuses. The Skyrunner World Series’ sky classic and sky extra champions will earn about $6,000, respectively, with the overall winner claiming about $12,000. “I’m in it because I enjoy it, and I’m just trying to survive and have a good time,” he said. “I’m working on a mountain, working in a shoe store, just trying to be like a squirrel and scavenge up some change so I can get ready for the next summer adventure.” Elliott lived in Redding, California, in the summer of 2014 when he competed in — and won — his first trail race. He often trained on icecovered trails in sub-zero temperatures later that year while working at Sugarbush Resort in Warren, Vermont. Then he hit the road, on foot and by car, for a nineweek vacation in Key West, Florida, where food, gas, running and disc golf were all he needed. “It doesn’t surprise me at all that this is the path he’s chosen,” said his sister, Allie Carlson, 27. “He’s just

always been full of energy and had lots of fun exploring new places and getting into things. He’s going to be out there having fun and enjoying life.”

ismymindsetforeverything.” His weekly training sessions accomplish that, as he averages 70 to 120 miles and a 14,000-footclimb,alongwith making memorable moments likethebear thatforced himto sprintlikeheneverhadbefore, and the two miles he ran after being bitten by that snake. “This story is crazy,” Elliott saidwithalaughwhilesharing a story from last September, when he trekked seven miles on a sprained ankle after saving his running partner fromcrashingintorocksatthe bottom ofasnow-covered hill in Colorado. His mother cringes when hearingthesestories. Shequietly wishes he would turn his attention to a career, getting married and starting a family. ButKimberlyMcDonald,Morgan’sgirlfriendoftwomonths, quit her job with an architectural design firm to join him on his European adventure. He migth settle down someday,Carlsonsaid,buthewon’t slow down. Elliott has an eye-opening list of goals to accomplish before that happens — complete100-mileraces,represent the U.S. in trail-running events, compete in Africa and South America, and even climb Mount Everest in Nepal and Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. “Something in me just isn’t quite satisfied,” he said. “If I did settle down, there would be a part of me wanting to go do more.”

The daunting task Elliott faces plays perfectly into a game plan on the course that mirrors his approach to life. “I’mjustgoingtogowiththe wind, go with whatever opens up,” Elliott said. “I’m doing what I really love, and I have confidence that I can win.” An invaluable passion While in Europe, Elliott will live in hostels, and work for families in exchange for food and shelter.

Still, the youngest of Darrell and Christine Elliott’s four children recently returned home to the Asheville, North Carolina, area for the confidence boost needed to spend four months in Europe competing on the international stage. His mother, sister and brother, Alden, 36, live in Black Mountain, a small town surrounded by miles of trails located near Mount Mitchell, the highest peak in the Appalachian Mountains. They also live by one rule — “set your mind to something and go out and do it,” Christine Elliott said. Morgan considers Allie, who at 21 spent a year doing missionary work in 11 countries on three continents, a prime source of inspiration. Allie pointed to their father, an avid runner, scuba diver, outdoorsman and traveler. Morgan Elliott was in fifth grade when his father died. He began running cross country in sixth grade and joined General McLane’s track and field team in ninth grade. “HetakesafterourDadinso many ways,” Carlson said. “A lot of that is in his blood.” Trail running was a natural progression after completing hiscrosscountryandtrackand field career at Slippery Rock, but that wasn’t enough. “I want to do the hardest thingthereissoeverythingelse seemseasy,”Elliottsaid.“This

A new start

Tariffs put squeeze on newspaper publishers By Ivan Moreno The Associated Press

said. "Our other store was in an older building with low ceilings and the space was all cut up." It took a lot of work before the renamed Super Stitch Sewing, Vacuum and Learning Center was ready for customers. The Maases first opened a temporary location at 110 E. Main St., where they worked until the new store was finished in October. Community support has been outstanding, Maas said. Customers have been flocking to the new store to buy products and attend the classes.

Newspaper publishers across the U.S. already strapped by years of declining revenue say they're dealing with an existential threat: Recently imposed tariffs on Canadian newsprint driving up their business costs. The tariffs are a response to a complaint to the U.S. Department of Commerce from a hedge fund-owned paper producer in Washington state, which argues that its Canadian competitors are taking advantage of government subsidies to sell their product at unfairly low prices. The tariffs, imposed in January and increased in March, are not permanent yet. But newspaper publishers are bracing for another blow to an industry that has shrunk with the loss of advertising revenue to the internet. Critics of the paper tariffs say the businesses that will ultimately be harmed are not Canadian paper producers, but U.S. newspapers that will have to cut staff and reduce publication days to afford higher prices of newsprint — the sheets newspapers are printed on. The newspaper industry employs just over 150,000 Americans, which is about 276,000, or 65 percent, fewer than two decades ago. "To get an unbudgeted increase of this magnitude will be for many publishers very, very serious to catastrophic," said Tom Slaughter, the executive director of the Inland Press Association, which represents about 1,500 daily and nondaily newspapers in every state. A large metro newspaper can expect annual increases of about $3 million in printing costs, according to Paul Boyle, senior vice president for the News Media Alliance. While larger papers might be able to survive the increase, Boyle said smaller publications might not. "I've heard from small publishers who've said, 'I'm worried about shutting my doors,'" he said.

he most expensive liquid we purchase in the Bruce household isn't perfume, scotch or almond milk. It's printer ink. A cartridge of black ink for our printer sells for $21.99 on the Hewlett-Packard website. That's about $2 a milliliter. In comparison, a bottle of 2009 Dom Perignon Champagne can be bought for $190, or about 25 cents a milliliter. A bottle of Chanel No. 5 perfume sells for $80, or $2.25 a milliliter. So basic printer ink costs almost as much as expensive perfume and eight times more than top-notch Champagne. In fact, it cost us less to buy the printer than it does to refill it twice with black and color ink. There has to be a better way. Consumer Reports has published several articles in recent years detailing ways to save money on printer ink. Here are some of its recommendations:

Check ink costs when buying a new printer.

You need to compare two different criteria: What type of ink the printer requires and how many pages it can print with one ink cartridge, known as its print yield. You divide the cost of a cartridge by the print yield to determine the cost per page. See BRUCE, D2

Super Stitch Sewing, Vacuum and Learning Center was completely renovated in a new North East location.

North East business thrives following devastating fire By David Bruce david.bruce@timesnews.com

NORTH EAST — Once the fire was extinguished and the damage had been assessed, Ann and Rick Maas weren't sure they wanted to rebuild their sewing and vacuum cleaner business. The December 2016 blaze had destroyed the Super Stitch Sewing and Vacuum Center, the North East business they owned for 33 years. Though they still operated a second store in Warren, the Maases thought about retiring. "We were both 62 and we talked about whether, at our age, do we have it within ourselves to start all over again when our friends are retiring," Ann Maas said. They decided to rebuild and, 16 months later, are thriving in their new location just outside North East borough at 10429 W. Main St. The new store has more open space, higher ceilings and, most importantly, a separate classroom where sewing and embroidery classes can be taught. It can also be rented by local groups for meetings. "When we met with our contractor, we wanted something open and bright," Maas

For example, a printer with a print yield of 200 pages using ink that costs $22 a cartridge has a cost per page of 11 cents. Keep in mind that cheaper printers often use more expensive ink. It will help if you estimate how many pages you expect to print each month. Shop around for ink.

Printer manufacturers strongly encourage their customers to only buy the ink they make, but aftermarket inks usually cost much less. That's because they often refill used cartridges and use less expensive inks. Consumer Reports said tests showed some aftermarket inks clogged printers heads

after repeated use. If you choose not to buy aftermarket ink, compare prices online with those at retailers such as Wal-Mart and Staples. The lowest prices might even be directly from the manufacturer. Conserve your ink. There are steps you can take to reduce the amount of ink you use and make each cartridge last longer. Don't turn off your printer. It avoids triggering a maintenance cycle, which uses ink, each time you print something. Most inkjet printers use little electricity when not printing, so the extra power cost is negligible. Also print less-important papers in draft mode, which uses less ink, and avoid printing photographs whenever possible because they use a large amount of ink.

Why E. coli keeps getting into our lettuce By Caitlin Dewey Washington Post

Consumers have grown to love convenience salads, from tubs of pre-washed baby spinach to bags of chopped romaine. There's only one problem withthesemodern-dayconveniences: They're regularly implicated in foodborne illness outbreaks. The latest, a nationwide flare-up of E. coli, has sickened 84 people in 19 states and hospitalized 42. Most of the victims grew ill after eating chopped romaine lettuce from a farm near Yuma, Arizona. Such outbreaks are rare overall, but more common in certain types of foods. Data from the Centers for Disease Control and Preventionsuggestthatleafy greens cause roughly a fifth of all foodborne illnesses. Andfoodsafetyexpertssay convenience greens— those handy bags of pre-chopped and pre-washed salads — carry an extra risk because they come in contact with more people and machinery before they arrive on your plate. Recentindustryeffortsand

federal rules have attempted to reduce outbreaks. But the risks will never completely disappear, experts say. "We're always going to have these cases, unfortunately, because consumers have gotten used to this product," said Bill Marler, a prominent food safety lawyer who represents several patients sickened by the Yuma lettuce. "The product has risks, in my opinion." Federal regulators haven't yet uncovered the source of this latest lettuce outbreak. But the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Food and Drug Administrationareurgingconsumers to throw out romaine that could be from Yuma, where most lettuce is grown during the winter season. Most of the 84 people grew ill after eating at restaurants that use bagged, pre-chopped lettuce in their salads. This strain of E. coli, known as 0157: H7, produces a toxin that can disrupt liver function. The majority of victims are women, a reflection of the fact that women generally eat more salads. Government regulators

have long known that greens and lettuces pose aparticular food safety risk. According to one CDC analysis, leafy vegetables were responsible for 22 percent of foodborne illnesses between 1998 and 2008, the latest period for which detailed attribution data is available. A more recent analysis of outbreak data from 2013 concluded that "vegetable row crops" — lettuces plus broccoli, asparagus, celery andsome other vegetables— account for 42 percent of E. coli infections. In the past four months, E. coli infections linked to leafy greens in Canada and the U.S. have caused 151 illnesses and two deaths. "Leafy greens continue to be a problem, and we've looked at leafy greens and fresh produce with concern,"saidRobertTauxe,the director of the CDC division that responds to foodborne illness outbreaks. "Back 15 to 20 years ago, there was a huge concern in food safety around foods of animal origin. ... But beginning about 10 years ago, the produce side has become more and more prominent."

Newspaper publishers across the U.S. are facing increased costs because of the rising cost of newsprint. [ANGELA MAJOR/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS]

TARIFFS From Page D1

Boyle said his organization — formerly called the Newspaper Association of America — is compiling a survey from its members, and nearly every publisher is exploring layoffs and scaling back news coverage. Steve Stewart, publisher of The State Journal in Frankfort, Kentucky, told readers in a March 30 column that the newspaper they were reading cost 10 percent more to produce than a few weeks earlier and could cost as much as 40 percent more in a few months. He said this will result in fewer pages, higher subscription costs and less non-local content. The newsprint tariffs reflect President Donald Trump's tough new approach to U.S. trade relations. Trump is engaged in a tense standoff with China over Beijing's sharpelbowed attempts to gain access to U.S. technology. He's trying to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement with Mexico and Canada. And his administration has wrangled with Canada directly over low-priced Canadian timber imports, Canadian barriers to U.S. dairy farmers, and now cheap Canadian newsprint. The International Trade Commission is expected to make a final determination

on the tariffs in August or September. Canadian newsprint producers began paying an average of 6.53 percent more to export their products to the U.S. in January, when the Commerce Department concluded that would help offset the foreign paper mills' advantage over American companies. In March, the department increased the cost by another 22 percent after its preliminary investigationconcludedthat one Canadian company, British Columbia-based Catalyst, was underselling the uncoated groundwood paper newspapers use by that much less. In response to the second increase, Catalyst said the tariff was "without merit" and that it "will continue to vigorously defend itself against an unwarranted and onerous U.S. trade action." The North Pacific Paper Company, which New York hedge fund One Rock Capital Partners bought in 2016, petitioned for the tariffs, arguing that Canadian companies had an unfair advantage. NORPAC, which employs about 300 people, is the only U.S. paper producer making that argument. "While our company understands the concerns recently surfaced by some newspaper publishers, which also face a challenging marketplace, we strongly disagree with the notion that their industry requires low-priced, subsidized newsprint from Canada to

sustain their own business model," Craig Annenberg, the CEO of NORPAC, said in a statement. The statement went on to say that "high-quality journalism in communities across the country should not depend on unfairly traded inputs that cause material injury to a U.S. industry and American jobs." The U.S. currently has five operating mills, including NORPAC. Three are in Washington state, with one of them partly owned by a Canadian company. Canada owns the remaining two in Georgia and Mississippi. Publishers say Canadian imports are not the reason for the decline of U.S.-based paper mills, but rather a 75 percent drop in newsprint consumption over the last two decades. That has led mills to switch to more profitable products such as the boxes Amazon uses for shipping, said Tony Smithson, vice president of printing operations at Bliss Communications, which owns multiple newspapers and radio stations in Wisconsin. The newsprint the company buys all comes from Canada. Smithson said that even if every paper mill in the U.S. operated at full capacity, they still would only be able to produce about 60 percent of the newsprint consumed in the country. He said that raises another concern: A scarcity of available newsprint if Canadian producers decide to ship to other countries to avoid the new tariffs.

PERSONAL FINANCE

By Dayana Yochim NerdWallet.com

Just 6 in 10 workers report having saved anything — anything — for retirement, according to the Employee Benefit Research Institute. And data from workplace plan administrator and fund giant Vanguard show that just 18 percent of workers save the 10 percent or more of income that experts recommend squirreling away for retirement. More than a third are putting away less than 4 percent. Here are some ways later-in-life savers can address anemic retirement portfolios.

BIGSTOCK IMAGES

Push your retirement savings into overdrive provide just enough leisure time without completely cutting off the paychecks. If part-time isn’t an option at your current employer, look into working on a per-project or contractor basis. A bonus is that as a sole proprietor you can set up a SEP IRA or Solo 401(k), with which the contribution limits may be much higher than allowed in a regular IRA or employer-sponsored 401(k). 3. Play catch-up

Pushing back the due date for retirement may not be your ideal tactic, but it is one of the most effective. The primary value of putting your plans on hold is that compound interest has some extra years to work its magic. Example: Give a $250,000 portfolio an additional three years to grow and that’ll get you about $48,000 in extra padding if it earns a 6 percent average annual return. Every extra year you work and save is also one more year you won’t be drawing down your portfolio.

The IRS allows workers 50 or older to make “catch-up contributions” in employer-sponsored retirement plans: an additional $6,000 a year for a total of $24,500. Although that’s a lot of money to defer, it comes with a lot of tax breaks, too. Not only do contributions lower your taxable income for the year on a dollar-for-dollar basis, but as long as the money’s in the account, you owe nothing to Uncle Sam on the investment growth. The IRS also offers a catch-up contribution allowance on individual retirement accounts. And if you’re not already saving in an IRA, that means you can put away an additional $6,500 a year once you’re 50 or older — and potentially with some additional tax benefits.

2. Go part-time

4. Grow your spouse’s savings

Easing your way out of the workforce by reducing your hours at your existing job may

IRS rules state that to be eligible to contribute to an IRA you must have earned income.

1. Move the goal post

But, as is the case with many things related to the tax code, there’s an exception to the rule: The spousal IRA. If one person in the household works and the other does not (or if they earn a very low income), then an IRA can be opened in the nonworking spouse’s name based on all the same eligibility requirements that apply to the working spouse. You must file a joint tax return to be eligible. 5. Get someone else to pay A reverse mortgage is a type of loan — typically issued as a home equity conversion mortgage — that allows homeowners to tap the equity they’ve built up tax-free for as long as you or a qualified surviving spouse has the home as a primary residence. To qualify for the FHA’s reverse mortgage program, the applicant must be 62 or older, own the house outright or have a sizable amount of equity and the financial means to continue to cover maintenance and property taxes. 6. Don’t overdo your emergency fund When you’re running out of years to get your money to multiply, it’s critical that every dollar you don’t need in the near term is working as hard as it can. To give those dollars the chance to earn as much as possible, they should be invested in the stock market.

Smart ways to help your kids own a home By Marilyn Lewis NerdWallet.com

Younger home buyers face a mountain of obstacles, including rising home prices and interest rates, too few homes for sale and unpaid college debt. When the National Association of Realtors surveyed recent home buyers who had problems saving up a down payment, 53 percent of those in the youngest group (37 and younger) blamed student loan debt for their difficulty. Families appear to be pitching in to help, according to the results of that survey in the 2018 NAR Home Buyer and Seller Generational Trends Report. Among buyers who made a down payment, 23 percent of those 37 and younger used a gift and 6 percent a loan from family or friends — the highest proportion for either type of assistance among all age groups. Family assistance like this works best when the kids qualify for a mortgage on their own and parents make the purchase more affordable with, for example, a bigger down payment or a lower interest rate, says Jeremy Heckman, a certified financial planner with Accredited Investors Wealth Management in Edina, Minnesota. To create a businesslike distance for these transactions, Heckman suggests that parents: • Consider disclosing the assistance to all immediate family • Consider treating all siblings equally • Use contracts • Document gifts Formal agreements offer important benefits, says San Francisco real estate attorney Andy Sirkin. They define obligations and minimize misunderstandings. And if parent lenders die or become incapacitated, all their heirs can view the transaction and its history. Here are three ways parents can help make it more affordable for new home buyers:

1. Give money Parents can write a check for any amount they choose. That’s it — no contract or ongoing commitments. Or they can pay all or part of an expense such as mortgage closing costs. Providing down payment assistance can help new borrowers avoid paying for private mortgage insurance, which helps keep their monthly payment low.

2. Finance the mortgage Parents with cash to invest can become the mortgage lender, offering extra-easy terms like no closing costs or no down payment. Heckman says they can charge a higher rate of interest on their money than it earns in a savings or money market account and still offer kids a lower-than-market mortgage rate. Jay Weil, an attorney in Wayne, New Jersey, and his wife, Judy, have financed two mortgages for their son Matt and Matt’s wife, Allison. For the first, they decided to use a service that facilitates family loans: National Family Mortgage charges one-time setup fees of $725 to $2,100, depending on the loan size, and provides all necessary forms and documents to meet state, local and IRS requirements. It guides families through the settlement and filing process and connects borrowers with loan servicers. Family lenders must charge at least the Applicable Federal Rate, the minimum interest rate required to keep the assistance from being considered a gift.

3. Co-borrow Mortgages with co-borrowers were nearly a quarter of all new-purchase mortgages in the third quarter of 2017, according to ATTOM Data Solutions, a real estate data company. Parents apply for the mortgage, too. They must meet the lender’s credit requirements and sign loan papers with their kids at closing. A separate family contract can deﬁne expectations and details such as who gets how much equity when the home sells, says Sirkin.

Still signing for card purchases? Not for long By Kimberly Palmer | NerdWallet.com

The major credit card networks — American Express, Visa, Discover and Mastercard — will no longer require signatures on transactions in the U.S. beginning this month. Retailers can still require signatures, though some have already stopped the practice when a purchase is under a certain amount. Why this change? Card networks want to keep their customers happy, and that includes making payments as easy and efficient as possible. Given that signatures are no longer needed to ensure security and prevent fraud, card networks determined that requiring signatures was a waste of time. Jasma Ghai, vice president of global products innovation at Discover, says, “With the rise in new payment security capabilities the time is right to remove this step from the checkout experience.” Does this mean I can let a friend use my card? No. If it’s your credit card, you are still the one solely responsible for all charges and for paying off the balance. Unless you have authorized users or a joint account holder on the card, you should be the only one using it. Is my card less secure now? Quite the opposite: Credit card security is improving all the time. In fact, the addition of chip technology to credit cards means that a unique code is created for each transaction so that if a data breach happens, your account number isn’t exposed. Card issuers also have automated systems that constantly check for aberrations in spending or unusual charges; they are often more likely than you are to first notice a fraudulent charge and call you to stop charges before you’ve noticed anything amiss. Plus, credit card issuers offer robust fraud protection — so even if you do become a victim of credit card fraud, you likely won’t be out any money.

Oops!

There’s an error in the federal tax return I filed. How can I correct it? — C.R., Flint, Michigan The 1040 form you file isn’t the only one you can file for each year. You can file an amended return with a 1040X form, and you can even amend an amended return later! Mistakes involving your filing status, income, deductions or credits will require an amended return. One way to reduce the need for an amended return is to use tax-prep software such as TaxACT or TurboTax. Such software can reduce errors, since it will do calculations for you and will help you be thorough, submitting all needed forms and schedules. *** Are stocks too risky for teenagers? — T.L., Walnut Creek, California Not at all! As long as they’re investing for the long term, young people stand to do the best investing in stocks. For example, if you’re 15 and you invest $1,000 in the stock market each year and earn an average annual return of 8 percent, you’ll end up with almost $50,000 when you’re 35 and about $280,000 by age 55. Of course, you’ll be able to invest more as you get older — amassing more money that can help you buy a home or retire early. People in or near retirement have far less time in which their money can grow. Short-term money — money needed within five or even 10 years, perhaps for college — should be in “safer” places than stocks, such as money market accounts or CDs. Teens can learn much more in “The Motley Fool Investment Guide for Teens” by David and Tom Gardner with Selena Maranjian (Touchstone, $16).

Fool’s School

Know Your Shareholder Rights You might think that a share of stock is a little like a lottery ticket that will either pay off for you or won’t. That’s far from the case, though. Each share of common stock in a company represents an actual stake in the company itself. It makes the shareholder a partial owner of the company — one who will share in the financial pain if the company fails and one who will share in the gains if the company grows more valuable and/or pays out dividend income. Shareholders have rights, too. For example, they’re typically allowed to vote on company matters, such as board-of-directors nominees, executive pay issues and sustainability reports. Shareholder votes have helped usher in some positive changes for companies, resulting in more outside directors on boards, fewer staggered board elections, and more companies requiring majority votes for various measures to be approved. Those last two items make it easier

for shareholders to vote out underperforming or bad directors. Here’s another right: If you’re a shareholder of common stock and the company goes under, filing for bankruptcy, you have the right to a portion of its assets and income. Here’s the bad news, though: You’ll get that only after creditors, bondholders and holders of preferred stock are paid what’s due to them. In many such situations, then, common stockholders end up with little or nothing. Shareholders can agitate for change, too. If they hold enough sway, they can submit proposals that get voted on. They can also try to ask management questions at annual meetings. That can be hard, though, if only a few questions are taken and answered. Still, if you’re a shareholder of a company, aim to act like a part owner. Hold management responsible and ask for the changes you’d like to see. When you receive your proxy and voting materials (typically every spring), cast your vote. Keep an eye on what the company is doing, too. If you want to see more environmentally friendly initiatives, or you don’t like a proposal that will limit voting rights, let the company know.

Name That Company I trace my roots back about 150 years, to when John D. Rockefeller and others formed me. I’ve morphed from a domestic kerosene company to the world’s largest publicly traded oil and gas company, doing everything from exploring, producing, refining and marketing fuels to manufacturing petrochemicals. In 1911, the Supreme Court found me to be a monopoly and ordered me to break up. My current name reflects a 1999 $81 billion merger. I employ more than 19,000 scientists and engineers and produce 4 million net oil-equivalent barrels per day. I’ve invested more than $8 billion in lower-emissions energy solutions. Who am I?

My Dumbest Investment

The Motley Fool Take

Twice Burned

Learn Your Alphabet

I got burned on stock in Molycorp, a rare-earth materials company. That kind of thing happens. The dumb part was that I did it twice! I made a bad move, got out, berated myself for bailing out, then saw the stock price go way lower. So I bought again, watched it drop more, got out, and resisted the temptation to try it again — I won’t let a stock fool me three times. Unless it’s a large, stable company with a long, profitable track record, my mantra now is, “Burn me once, you’re done.” — R.L., Cincinnati The Fool Responds: Molycorp was once flying high, but then China increased the world’s supply of the rare elements used for products such as batteries, camera lenses, catalytic converters, hard drives and MRI machines. Prices dropped, and Molycorp ended up with years of massive losses, eventually filing for bankruptcy protection. It emerged as a new company later, but only after shareholders were wiped out. The lesson here is to not try to catch a falling knife. Low and lower prices can be appealing, but they tend to reflect a company in trouble. Unless you have strong reason to believe the company will ultimately recover and prosper, aim to make money elsewhere. Selling at a loss is better than selling at a greater loss later. Companies that file for bankruptcy protection will often end up burning their shareholders.

Google, child of parent company Alphabet (Nasdaq: GOOGL, Nasdaq: GOOG), controls more than 70 percent of the desktop search market worldwide, and more than 90 percent of mobile searches. (It’s true — Google it!) It boasts seven products with at least 1 billion monthly users each: Search, Gmail, Chrome, Maps, YouTube, Google Play and Android. Google entered the cloud-computing game late, but it has made impressive gains. On the company’s most recent earnings conference call, CEO Sundar Pichai said that Google Cloud was “already a billion-dollarper-quarter business,” as well as “the fastest-growing major public cloud provider in the world.” Most of Alphabet’s revenue comes from online advertising, but it’s a pioneer in the artificial intelligence technique of deep learning, and it’s also home to a number of “moonshots.” Those include Waymo, the company’s self-driving division that’s set to launch a driverless ridehailing service later this year. Other potential growth drivers include the subsidiary Verily that’s working on projects such as smart contact lenses that detect blood glucose levels, while subsidiary Calico aims to increase the human life span. With Alphabet’s unparalleled control of search and promising position in many other businesses, investors might want to buy and hold Alphabet for decades.

Don’t get too comfortable with Gmail’s ‘confidential mode’ By Jaclyn Cosgrove Tribune News Service

In rolling out major updates to Gmail, Google announced last week that the popular email service will soon feature a new “confidential mode” that promises to give users more control over who sees the emails they send, and for how long. Users should still be mindful about what they send over email, privacy experts warned, as messages sent in confidential mode could still fall into the wrong hands. With the new privacy feature, users will be able to remove recipients’ options to forward, copy, download or print specific messages. “Useful for when you have to send sensitive information via email like a tax return or your Social Security number,” Gmail product manager Matthew Izatt wrote in the company’s announcement of the updates. “You can also make a message expire after a set period of time to help you stay in control of your information.” It probably would be easy to circumvent the confidential mode features, privacy experts pointed out: For example, a user might simply be able to take a screenshot or photo of an email they had been blocked from forwarding, or call over officemates to read the email from their screen. Google did not respond to an email raising those concerns. Some online privacy experts, such as Sydney Li, staff technologist at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, argue that calling the new feature “confidential mode” is misleading. For one, Gmail’s servers will still contain a copy of

[SHUTTERSTOCK.COM]

the email, Li said. Other tech companies have dabbled with disappearing messages, most notably Snap Inc., whose Snapchat app faced some backlash in 2015 when users grew concerned that their app’s new privacy policy suggested the company was keeping more of users’ content than it had let on. “Don’t send messages that you wouldn’t want someone to save or share,” it said. Confidential mode will begin to roll out in the coming weeks, with a broader rollout to follow. For the more than 4 million businesses that pay to use G Suite — an enhanced paid version of Google products such as Gmail, Docs and Calendar — confidential mode will include the option to require an email recipient to use a passcode, sent via text message, to view the email. Li said this feature raises

additional concerns because to use it, you might need to tell Google the recipient’s phone number — potentially without the recipient’s consent. “This ‘privacy’ feature is potentially harmful to users with a real need for private and secure communications,” Li said. John Simpson, the privacy and technology director at advocacy group Consumer Watchdog, said enabling users to send emails that recipients cannot forward is a powerful tool, but it does raise the question of how people will get around it. Although Google might offer a confidential mode, there’s only so much the tech giant can do to block human hijinks. It’s also unclear how the features will work when the email recipient is not a Gmail user. For example, Simpson said, is Gmail able to enforce a prohibition on forwarding

if the recipient is using a different email service? “It strikes me that people will be lulled into the feeling that this is a more confidential thing than is actually the case,” Simpson said. “We need to see more about how exactly it’s implemented, but clearly, if somebody went to the trouble to send me a message that I couldn’t forward, and I looked at it, and said ‘Holy mackerel! I want to show this to somebody else,’ I think I could figure out ways to do it.” One aspect of confidential mode makes users more vulnerable to privacy breaches, the Electronic Frontier Foundation’s Li said. The feature that allows users to set a time limit on how long an email is available works by requiring the email’s recipient to click a link to view the message, opening up a new attack opportunity for phishing, Li

said. “If people are trained to click on links in ‘confidential’ e-mails from other Gmail users, bad actors can send fake emails that resemble ‘confidential’ e-mails in order to trick users into clicking links that lead to phishing sites,” Li said. “The phishing link could then present a fake Google login page, to try and steal the user’s credentials.” Simpson, a longtime critic of Google, said that even as the company offers privacy enhancements, it is still looking out for itself. Last year, Google announced it would stop using or scanning any Gmail content to help it personalize ads. Simpson said that was a good move — but that Google made it primarily because it already collects enough information about users to target them with ads in line with their interests, and using email content wasn’t even necessarily helping the company accomplish that goal. Before the change, if a friend sent a silly email, it would often produce bizarre related ads. Integrating more features into Gmail keeps users on the Google product as long as possible, he said. Confidential mode “is going to be presented by Google as all these wonderful features that customers are out there asking for, and that they’re meeting customer demand, and while some of that may be true, it’s necessary to remember it’s also all about maximizing ways people will be enticed to continue to stay on Google’s platform as much as possible so they can monetize your data, and when dealing with Google, one should never forget that,” Simpson said.

For me, it was two things: Brussels sprouts— oh, good God the smell— and canned spinach. I haven’t forgiven Mom for the second one. She’d put it on the plate and I couldn’t get up until I ate it. My younger brother, Matt Geisler, shared my distaste for both. I can remember draping wilted brownish green spinach over fresh strawberries and choking them down. What a waste of fresh strawberries. Matt finally got us out of both of these disgusting trials, though, with a stroke of genius civil disobedience I never had the courage to pull off. It was a summer night. We were called in for dinner and there on each of our plates rested a pile of several soggy, smelly Brussels sprouts. We started eating— and complaining. Mom, used to this drill, dug in her heels. Eat them or sit. Matt ate one. We ate the rest of dinner. Dad was almost done.

Older women and pregnancy Tammy Duckworth and other wellknown moms make fertility after 50 look easy. But is it? By Cindy Dampier Chicago Tribune

When U.S. Sen. Tammy Duckworth of Illinois welcomed her second child, it was cause for celebration— not only because she had become the first sitting senator to give birth or because she has already begun to challenge the Senate to change its rules to allow her to bring

her infant on the floor with her during voting. In giving birth to Maile Pearl Bowlsbey, Duckworth, a combatinjured veteran who has overcome considerable obstacles in her life, beat the odds yet again. At 50, she became one of a growing number of women to have a child at an age once considered an unlikely, unwise or even irresponsible time to attempt new motherhood. Times have changed.

I was eyeing the mini-cabbages, seething, when Matt ate another one and another one and then— I’ll never forget it — brought the rest of his dinner back up onto his plate and onto the table and the floor and his clothes and his chair. That was it. Dad had had enough. Mom accused Matt of being dramatic, but it didn’t matter. Dad was tired of the arguments and told Mom that was the end of the forced vegetable eating. No more Brussels sprouts or canned spinach. They fought. Matt and I looked at each other and lit out of there like we were on fire. And we never had to eat either one of those blasted things again.

I was relating this story a few weeks ago, and everyone seemed to have their least-favorite food story. We thought it might be fun to gather them— from each other and readers. We got lots of stories we could relate to. One food I didn’t expect to inspire venom was the lowly green pea. Managing Editor Brenda Martin, 56, refused them as a kid and swears she still doesn’t eat them and nothing with peas in it has a place on her table. Freelance writer Heather Cass agreed. “Buried them in mashed potatoes and swallowed fast,” said Cass, 46. “I spent many an evening sitting at the kitchen table with cold peas on my plate until my mother finally gave in and let me go.” “Tuna noodle casserole and salmon loaf, these were served on Fridays during Lent,” said reader Maggie Link, 59, of Erie. “I think I ate them cause there was nothing else for dinner. Since then I have never made them or eaten them nor do I ever plan on eating them.” Times-News Executive Editor Doug Oathout, 51, is squarely in Link’s corner. “(Tuna casserole) was in my mother’s regular rotation,” Oathout said. “I think my Dad loved it. I could expect it about once every two or three weeks, and if I knew it was coming I’d invent a way to not be home for dinner. “When I couldn’t avoid it, this would be the meal my Dad would make me ‘clean my plate,’” he said. “We’d sit and sit.

Female umpire’s goal is MLB game By David M Zimmer The Record (Hackensack, N.J. (TNS)

LAKELAND, Fla. — In February, a former North Jersey high school softball standout is working to become the first female umpire assigned to a regular-season Major League Baseball game. Jen Pawol, a West Milford High School graduate, took another step toward her goal as she umpired the Detroit Tigers’ 6-1 scrimmage win over Division II college team Florida Southern recently. The game was the first involving a Major League Baseball team for Pawol, one of just two women currently umpiring in the professional ranks. “It was like I took the car out for a test drive,” she said. “I’ve been working on this thing for a few years, so let’s see how this baby runs. So far, it handles pretty well.” Pawol, who described the game as business as usual, received a rare compliment from Tigers manager Ron Gardenhire after his team’s win. Per a report from The Detroit News, the game went off without a hitch. “It was nice that it was a scrimmage, but we were playing,” Pawol said. “We were definitely playing, and there were definitely like 3,000 fans there.” Pawol had her first experience umpiring when she was a teen in West Milford. “I liked it, I just didn’t have a car so I couldn’t get to the games,” she said. Two decades later, in 2016, she became Minor League Baseball’s seventh-ever woman umpire. The 41-year-old teacher worked last season in the New York-Penn Short-Class A League, but said she aspires to be the first woman ever to work a regular-season game in baseball’s top flight. “Every minor league umpire has the one goal to be part of the 3 percent that gets hired for Major League Baseball,” Pawol said. “This is literally all every minor league umpire wants to do with the rest of their life.” John Finke, Pawol’s high school soccer coach and assistant softball coach, said he is confident Pawol’s excellent attitude and dedicated approach will drive her up the

professional ranks and into a major league gig. “I have no doubt she is going to give it everything she has,” Finke said. Pawol, a member of the West Milford Class of 1995, was best known during her playing days for her sure hands and ball-stopping ability. Tim Gillen, a former athletic director at the Passaic County high school, said he never had the opportunity to coach Pawol but observed in her an intense player who was highly skilled and totally focused on the task. A member of The Record’s All-Century softball and soccer teams, Pawol racked up 30 career shutouts as a soccer goalie. She also earned a .538 batting average and 153 runs batted in, 118 runs scored and 17 home runs during her time at West Milford. “We were really, really good and we won a lot,” she said. “I’ve been in a lot of school districts as a substitute teacher … and I just think about how much wealth we had, not financially, but just in the people, the athletic talent, and the coaches.” Jim Dransfield, Pawol’s softball coach, said the two-time AllState first team catcher has every right to be remembered as the high school’s most decorated and driven athlete ever. “It’s been two to three years of hard work preparing my professional game. I’m going hard, or I’m going home.” “I have always believed she could do anything she set her mind to,” Dransfield said. After high school, Pawol went on to play for Hofstra University, the USA Baseball Women’s National Team and the Connecticut Brakettes of the National Pro Fastpitch League. “I just remember looking at the umpire one day and thinking, ‘yeah, I can do that,’ ” she said. “It’s just one foot behind the catcher, and I’ve already spent years and years getting hit by the ball and seeing the strike zone.” The move from player to part-time umpire came in 2005, when Pawol joined a group that assigned area softball and baseball games in her native state of New York. “I was looking for something and didn’t

want to go into coaching, because you’re not in the game; you’re not on the field,” she said. “It’s just not the same.” Four years later, Pawol said she quit her teaching job to start working winters in Florida leagues. Her umpiring assignments later elevated to Division I and professional softball games. Then, during an umpires’ clinic in 2015, a major league umpire asked Pawol if she wanted to go pro. “I was like, you know I’m a woman, right?” she said. “It was so mind-blowing. Everything I had heard in the past was not female-friendly, and I just always thought in my mind that they would never pick me. “They just said, ‘You know, that’s not how it is. If you’re good, you’ll get a job. It’s that simple.’ ” An invitation to an August 2015 Major League Baseball Umpire Camps clinic followed. There, in Cincinnati, Pawol said she was urged to participate in a five-day Florida tryout with 31 other aspiring umpires for an Umpire Training Academy scholarship. “I was selected, and I did expect it,” she said. “I knew at that moment that it was game on … that I wasn’t going to have any problems — just do my game, and listen, and get better every day.” For the last two seasons, Pawol has worked in the professional umpiring ranks of Minor League Baseball. “It’s been two to three years of hard work preparing my professional game,” she said. “I’m going hard, or I’m going home.” Pawol said she is focused on impressing her supervisor and officiating partners during spring training in Florida. She is hopeful some Grapefruit League games are in her immediate future. “I’m not being lazy or hopeful,” she said. “I’m doing everything I can every day to make that dream come true.” According to an article on MLB.com, Pawol was doing preseason work to get ready for the season, umpiring one to three games a day.

Pam Postema, 197789, was the first woman to umpire in a big league Spring Training game and advanced as high as Class AAA. The other women were Bernice Gera in 1972, Christine Wren 1975-77, Theresa Cox Fairlady 1989-91, Ria Cortesio 1999-2007 and Shanna Kook 200304, according to MLB.

Increasing ‘Exposure’ for women and girls in skateboarding By Lisa Deaderick The San Diego Union-Tribune

At 8 years old, Amelia Brodka would “borrow” her brother’s skateboard and ride around on her knees. A few years later, she began learning how to ride it like everyone else, and although she liked playing a Tony Hawk video game and watching the X Games, it was seeing a women’s vert demonstration (riding on a ramp and transitioning from horizontal to vertical to perform tricks) at the Philadelphia X Games that sparked a skateboarding fire in her. “Watching Lyn-Z Adams Hawkins and Cara-Beth Burnside skate a vert ramp in person suddenly made skateboarding feel accessible to me. Seeing them do airs and inverts on a huge ramp made me feel that it was possible for me to be able to do that one day,” she says. “At that moment, I became completely obsessed with skateboarding.” A few years ago, she was moved to film a documentary about the lack of opportunities and resources for women and girls in skateboarding. “Underexposed: A Women’s Skateboarding Documentary” looked at the industry’s approach to marketing, funding, supporting and promoting women’s skateboarding, interviewed and filmed female skateboarders, and explored the business side of the sport through contact with the heads of top skateboarding brands. After the film, she teamed up with a philanthropist to co-found Exposure Skate, a non-profit that hosts events and provides programming for women and girls in skateboarding and raises money to support victims of domestic violence. Brodka, 28, lives with her fiance Alec Beck, and their cat and dog. She took some time to talk about her love of skateboarding, her passion for supporting women and girls in the sport, and her organization’s monthly Skate Rising event. Q: What compelled you to make the documentary

Amelia Brodka is the co-founder of Exposure Skate, a non-proﬁt that provides support and resources for women and girls in skateboarding. [TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE]

“Underexposed”? A: The documentary was inspired by a year during which all women’s divisions were canceled from the top skateboarding events. During the same year, I witnessed a growth in the skill level of female skaters alongside an increased amount of girls and women skateboarding. Despite the growth, it seemed like there was no way for a female to “make it” in skateboarding because, at that time, the top women were not getting support from sponsors, media or skateboarding events. The only way that women appeared in skate magazines or in media were as scantily clad models posing in advertisements. I thought that perhaps the industry was not seeing the growth that was happening and I felt it deserved to be showcased. Q: How did you go from documentary filmmaker to co-founding a nonprofit? What led to the decision to found Exposure Skate? A: The final message of the documentary stated, “If you want something to happen,

you have to create the change.” Seeing that a majority of the documentary focused on a lack of events, I decided I wanted to create an event to fill the void. I figured that a unique, women’s-only event that drew the world’s top female skaters from all disciplines together would generate media interest and therefore “exposure” for the girls pushing the limits of women’s skateboarding. The release of “Underexposed” piqued the interest of like-minded philanthropists who wanted to support the vision, and one of those was Lesli Cohen, who co-founded a women’s roller hockey team, which led to the development of a national women’s league. Her vision and mission aligned with mine and ... we wanted the event to reach beyond skateboarding as well as help a community in need. After a successful event in 2012, we decided that the best way to fulfill our mutual vision to empower women and girls through skateboarding was to cofound a nonprofit. Q: Why did you

continue to remain in skateboarding over the years? A: I fell in love with skateboarding when I experienced that even a trick that initially seems impossible could be accomplished through persistent practice. The sense of accomplishment in landing a new trick is unlike anything I have ever experienced. Skateboarding taught me something new every day. There was always a new trick to learn, a new spot to experience and a new way to perfect a trick. It also taught me that adversity can be overcome with willpower and commitment. Despite hours of failed attempts, falls and fears, you could push through obstacles and reach your goal. The nature of skateboarding involves you to push against the edge of your abilities and comfort zone each day. Q: Your website says that you want to empower women through skateboarding. How? A: Skateboarding is a vehicle that teaches self-confidence, perseverance and wellness. Through skateboarding,

girls learn to set and achieve goals, boldly confront challenges, and connect with peers who share their drive and aspirations. In skateboarding, you constantly set goals that are at the edge of your ability, goals that scare you. This process

teaches you that “failure” is not an end-all and even the biggest goals can be accomplished. Some days, you may give everything you have to landing that trick, but even if you don’t get it, even if you fell and “failed” a hundred times, you can come back the next day and accomplish what you were trying. This is an important lesson because it can be translated to your studies, business and everyday life. Realizing that you can set and accomplish goals builds your confidence on and off the board. Success breeds success. Skateboarding is a process of pushing away fear and self-doubt in the name of progress. Q: What is the best advice you’ve ever received? A: The best advice I have ever received is honestly the age-old saying to follow your passion. I believe that if you dedicate yourself to what you love, it will lead you to happiness and fulfillment. My love for skateboarding led me to scholarships to Gould Academy and University of Southern California, creating a documentary film, co-founding a nonprofit, meeting the love of my life and traveling the world. Q: What is one thing people would be surprised to find out about you? A: I was born and raised in Poland.

Cucumbers, cabbage, canned asparagus (!), broccoli and lima beans.

lifespan,” she says. Instead, the change has come with another, more readily available, technology: egg and embryo freezing, and donor eggs and embryos. “There is a huge increase in the number of people who are doing egg donation or embryo donation,” she says. “In the most recent reporting year, there were something like 20,000 embryo transfers of donor eggs or embryos. I think that’s where the bulk of these older moms are coming from.” Duckworth has said that she used in vitro fertilization to conceive, but has not specified whether or not she used donor eggs. Other well-known women, including Janet Jackson, who gave birth last year at age 50, have adopted a similar policy when it comes to discussing the details of their treatment. “There’s such a positive portrayal of these older women who are having babies,” says Kim, “and that’s great. But people don’t realize how rare it is and probably that they used an egg donor. I think many of these celebrities have used egg donors, and they just don’t come forward with that, and it gives people a false impression. It sort of makes you feel like maybe you can have it all, but there is still a biological clock.” Success rates for older mothers trying IVF with their own eggs, she points out, have not increased dramatically. The real changes around older mothers are at the

But we burned our paper trash, so that was soon discovered. “The next trick was to just swallow them whole with my glass of milk. But that made my mom mad. Not really sure why. Her solution? Told my Dad to grow the really big

ones next year so that I wouldn’t be able to swallow them. That didn’t work either. I just cut them in half and down they went. “Every once in awhile, as an adult, I’ll try them to see if maybe my tastes have changed. Nope!” Food reader Melissa Lesniewski, 55, of Erie, is with her all the way. “They were so dry and

intersection of medical science and societal norms. “Something that has changed in my career,” Kim says, “is the willingness of people to take care of older women. Decades ago, it was considered very controversial to even allow people who are postmenopause to access egg donation. People thought it was outrageous, ‘How can you treat someone who’s (older than) 50 with egg donation? She’s at the age of natural menopause.’ “ But fertility doctors, who have spent decades wrestling with ethical and scientific questions ranging from helping unmarried mothers to egg donation and surrogacy for gay couples to how to deal with embryos left behind after a couple splits, now view older mothers differently. In part, it’s due to a healthier population. “People are saying, well, people are living longer now, women are healthier now,” Kim says. “There’s no evidence that someone who’s 50 is any less healthy than someone who’s 44, and I think that’s another reason that there’s an increase is that doctors are willing to do it.” The way doctors view patient choices around life circumstances and timing has also shifted as technology to freeze eggs and embryos has improved and become increasingly prevalent. “There are a lot of things that were considered very controversial when I was in training,” says Kim, “that now we do all the time.” The list is as wide-ranging as our lifestyle choices: unmarried couples who aren’t sure they will be together permanently but freeze embryos anyway;

cancer patients; single parents. “We’re a lot more willing to use this technology that’s been around for a while for different situations. There was a time when people were like, ‘Oh that’s so outrageous,’ and now we say, ‘We can do it— why not?’ “ Similarly, the cutoff age for attempting motherhood has shifted. “When I was a resident,” Kim says, “if you had a 35-year-old mother, that was an old woman having a baby. Today that’s so normal.” Many IVF clinics once refused to treat women over 45, but today that number is more typically set at 55. Kim says the argument that older mothers might struggle to raise children or die while they are in childhood is also a fading consideration. “We treat cancer patients,” she says, “and there’s a big push to help those women. So, who’s more likely to die, a cancer survivor or the woman who’s 54 years old?” Bottom line? “We can’t decide for the patient; we don’t know who’s going to die.” Past age 45, most IVF patients will undergo additional counseling and testing, Kim says, to rule out underlying health issues. Women in their 50s are more likely to have serious complications during pregnancy, and are more likely to have a cesarean section. In addition, they require a careful doctorpatient relationship. “They are at their end,” Kim says. “They really know their time is short, so you just really want to be careful that you don’t oversell or overestimate the likelihood of success for these people. Because I do feel like they are looking

my mom would put mixed vegetables in vegetable soup and I’d pick them out or swallow them whole so I wouldn’t have to taste them,” Lesniewski said. “She made canned ones a couple of times and all I can remember was how dry they were and gritty ... shudder.” I’m with her on the lima beans. I only ate them when mixed with sweet corn, which my mom called “succotash.” Yellow beans, sometimes called “wax beans,” inspired recoils from Schuler as well. “You know when you’re a kid how everything is so literal? Yeah. I thought my mom was feeding me beans made from crayons!” she said. A taste for ethnic dishes doesn’t always get passed down with DNA. Jeanette Manendo, 68, of Erie, still remembers having to eat czarnina, aka Polish duck blood soup. “I was told it

was chocolate soup,” she said. “Yeah, NOT! I cannot stand it to this day and did not make my kids eat it.” Food reader Ray Reed, 55, of Erie has no explanation for his childhood hatred of ham and cabbage. “This may seem weird, but when my mom cooked ham and cabbage I hated it,” he said. “Now I love it.” Like Reed, Matt and I have discovered, our childhood tastes do sometimes change. House-to-Home and special sections editor Pam Parker, 62, has forgiven Brussels sprouts for ruining many of her childhood meals. “I thought they were disgusting as a kid, and I didn’t eat them for decades as an adult,” she said. “Then I had them roasted. They are awesome.” Jennie Geisler can be reached at 870-1885 or by email. Follow her on Twitter at twitter.com/ETNgeisler.

for any kind of hope, and sometimes I feel like we are preying on their emotions and vulnerability.” Because many women now delay pregnancy to pursue a career, Kim finds that her patients may have a hard time accepting less than success. “Usually these women have been very successful in all other areas of their life, and I think they have a hard time believing that, with all the research they’ve done, if they work hard and do everything, that they can’t make this work out,” she says. “Because everything in their life has worked out. So then it’s hard to say, ‘Well, this may be beyond your control.’” Experimental treatments that attempt to rejuvenate the ovaries or coax

stem cells into producing new eggs are much talked about on the internet but still have not yielded concrete results. So, in spite of glowing stories about new motherhood after 50 and a trend that shows it’s on the rise, Kim still offers her patients a message they’ve heard before. “The traditional teaching is that you are born with all the eggs you’re ever going to have, you lose them over time and there’s no way to regenerate them,” she says. “That still holds. So I still counsel patients that there’s still a biologic clock, you can certainly freeze eggs or embryos for the future, but it’s not a guarantee. Unfortunately, the teaching still holds: Your fertility is better when you’re younger.”

MUSIC&BOOKS Indie rock band Snail Mail is on the fast track By Jessica M. Goldstein The Washington Post

ELLICOTT CITY, Md. - In a move that is both very teenageandveryrockmusicianand therefore extremely teenage rock musician, Lindsey Jordan is still sleeping off last night’s party somewhere when her interview with this newspaper is scheduled to begin. We’re meeting at her parents’ house, where Jordan, the 18-year-old phenom whose indie outfit, Snail Mail, will soon release its eagerly anticipated debut album, still lives because Brooklyn didn’t suit her. The neighborhood is as suburban as suburbia gets: Brickhousesajust-righttrickor-treating distance apart from each other on unlined residentialroads,atwo-minute drive from a Dunkin’ Donuts drive-through. Jordan’s dad answers the door and her mom entertains me in the kitchen, two dogs nosing at our feet, as we wait for Jordan to materialize. She does so at noon, her bedhead bleachedCourtneyLoveblond, dressed in track pants and a Dolly Parton T-shirt she’s had onfivedaysandnightsinarow. She bolts upstairs for a speedy wardrobe change in

the bedroom where she used to practice guitar for two hours a day. “I was hellbent on it,” she’ll say later. “I was just obsessiveaboutbeingperfect.” She returns in high-waisted Levi’s with zero stretch. About last night, she explains as she drives: She did a bunch of shots and got into Baltimore super late and crashed at a friend’s and kind of forgot we were doing this today, since she’s done eight interviews in the last two days and she can’t even remember who she talked to (“I got an itinerary sheet, and I lost it”) and is so out of it that she thinks it’s Monday (it’s Sunday). Jordan formed Snail Mail three years ago. Within two weeks of starting the band, she performed at a festival in Maryland alongside Screaming Females, Sheer Mag and Priests, three of the current torchbearers of independent punk. Snail Mail’s first EP, “Habit,” was released on D.C. label Sister Polygon in July 2016, and soon Jordan was making quite the impression with her old-soul lyrics, indisputablemusicianshipand plaintive, yearning vocals.

“It’s taken me years to put into words how special Lindsey’s songwriting is, and I still haven’t been able to do it,” says Snail Mail drummer Ray Brown.

Kimbra displays impressive range

The Wall Street Journal’s list reﬂects nationwide sales of hardcover books for the week ending April 19

By Mark Kennedy The Associated Press

‘Primal Heart’ Kimbra, (Warner Bros.)

If there’s any musical justice, Kimbra’s third studio album should be the one that finally catapults the New Zealander to the acclaim she deserves. On the 12-track “Primal Heart,” the multi-instrumentalist singer-songwriter shows off her impressive range, from glistening techno-pop to string-and-pianofed torch songs to even a world beat-driven club banger. Not familiar with the name? Born Kimbra Johnson, she already has two Grammy Awards, thanks to her monster collaboration on Gotye’s “Somebody That I Used to Know” in 2012. Six years later, she is someone you need to know. John Congleton, who won a Grammy for producing St. Vincent’s self-titled album, teams up

with Kimbra to produce the album, for which Kimbra had a hand in writing every song. “I’m older now/ but I feel my time/ start to begin,” she sings. She is joined by Skrillex for the high-energy, hypnotic “Top of the World,” which combines the current thirst for African rhythms with wonderfully bombastic lyrics (“You’ll see me gathering martyrs” and “Talk like I be the messiah.”). If that’s her on top, a few songs later she’s broken and beaten on the achingly intimate, stripped-down “Version of Me,” in which she wrestles with her faults and begs a lover to “stay for the person I’ll be.” More sides of the singer appear with the gauzy, hazy “Like They Do On the TV”; in the smartly constructed, layered pop of “Human”; and a brave attempt to grapple with domestic violence on “Everybody Knows.”

‘Space Odyssey’ a robust look at Kubrick’s ‘2001’ By Douglass K. Daniel The Associated Press

‘Space Odyssey: Stanley Kubrick, Arthur C. Clarke, and the Making of a Masterpiece’ (Simon & Schuster), by Michael Benson

Fifty years ago, moviegoers had their minds blown by director Stanley Kubrick’s “2001: A Space Odyssey.” To this day some of them still aren’t quite sure what it all means. Was an alien intelligence behind the monolith? What went wrong with the computer known as HAL? Does the way station in the afterlife really look like a Louis XIV hotel suite? Did Dr. Floyd’s daughter get her bush baby? Seriously, part of Kubrick’s genius —and that of his co-screenwriter, Arthur C. Clarke — was not to spell out everything, thus challenging people to ponder the futuristic mythology unspooling before them. “If anyone understands it on the first viewing,” Clarke said at the time, “we’ve

PEOPLE, ETC. Buttons featured in vintage show at Erie club Meg Loncharic

he French Creek Valley Button Club will team up with the Woman’s Club of Erie to introduce to the community miniature pieces of art at the latter’s Vintage Collections Weekend May 18-20. A display of the French Creek organization’s very finest— yes, buttons!— promises to be a visual delight never before hosted in northwestern Pennsylvania. Established in 1957, the button society meets monthly in Corry. Members, who collect all sorts of buttons, come from Titusville, Warren, Erie, Corry and Union City, and Sinclairville and Frewsburg, New York. Erie resident Mary Jane Koenig, its current president, became involved due to her late mother’s interest as a collector. Koenig is a 30-year member of the National Button Society and an Erie Woman’s Club member since 2013. “Every conceivable material has been used to make buttons, including glass, shell, fabric, bone, horn, synthetic polymers and gold,” Koenig said. “Despite being a diminutive, practical item, the common button has had a long and interesting history. ... Buttons reflect when and how they were manufactured, what people valued, and what the fashion of the time was!” The buttons display will accompany numerous other collections, such as Civil War memorabilia, Victorian artifacts, quilts, wedding gowns, dolls, Santas, musical instruments and more. The Woman’s Club of

Erie’s Vintage Collections show is an opportune time to tour all four floors of the historic clubhouse/ manse at West Sixth and Myrtle Streets. Built over a three-year period and completed in 1892, the former Winifred and Davenport Galbraith mansion is the perfect venue to view the collections. Musical entertainment, demonstrations and vendors will be provided throughout the weekend. Assisting Koenig on the event committee are Judy Santone Husted, Georgia Chludzinski, Betty Wist, Cynthia Reid, Marci Cashman, Kathleen Nichols and Virginia Stanton. Admittance is $15 for the Friday opening reception, 6 to 9 p.m., complete with light hors d’oeuvres, complimentary wine and beer, and musical entertainment provided by pianists Marjorie Podolsky and Carolyn Brady, Miss Erie County 2018. There will be a $5 fee for Saturday, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Sunday, noon to 4 p.m., visits. Tickets can be purchased by calling 450-3199 or by sending a check, made payable to the Woman’s Club of Erie, to 259 W. Sixth Street, Erie, PA 16507. ‘It’s a Fiesta’ The Courtyard by Marriott Erie Bayfront, 2 Sassafras Pier, is gearing up for the “It’s a Fiesta” fundraiser Friday from 5 to 8 p.m. featuring silent and live auctions, music by David VanAmburg and Friends, and complimentary hors-d’oeuvres. It’s all about Erie D.A.W.N., which stands for Dwellings and Advocacy for Women in Need. In finalizing details, event chair couple Liz and Tim McCormick are seeing a plethora of donations of crafted birdhouse designs

and work by some of Erie’s finest artists, including Tom Hubert, David Seitzinger, Lena Logvina, Brian Pardini and Barbara Yerace. Among silent auction items up for grabs are two Notre Dame football tickets for the game against Ball State University on Sept. 9. Board President Paul Hakel and Executive Director Maureen Dunn are working with committee aides Gina Allison, Sister Bernadette Bell, Kristen Comstock, Mili Chiang-Hanes, Anita Kuchcinski, Mary Machuga, Chris Tombaugh, Sloan Bly, Jill DiMattio and Vicki Walter. For tickets, which are $50, call 453-5921. Art recognition Visitors to the Jay and Mona Kang Art Show & Sale at the Barber National Institute had the opportunity to vote for their favorite piece among the nearly 600 works on exhibit. After votes were tabulated last week, the People’s Choice Award for adult artist was presented to Benjamin Primis for his drawing in graphite, “Look into My Eyes.” Maddix Landahl, a ninth-grade student at Villa Maria Academy, won in the youth category for “Lana Del Rey,” her drawing in charcoal. Before the show opened, a panel of judges from the community selected pieces for cash awards. This year’s judges, Almi Clerkin, Tom Ferraro and Cole Stearns, chose “Grandest Day,” a painting by Rob Weber, for the Best of Show Award. Honorable mention awards in the category of adult artist were presented to Jason Amatangelo for his work in pencil, “Spun Pencil;” Ron McCorkle for his stoneware piece, “Requiem Series No. 1;” and Kathe Umlauf for her oil painting, “Horse Heads.” The Best of Show Award

in Photography was given to Barbara D. Crone for “The Orant,” and honorable mention photography awards were presented to Sarah Perino for “The Gift” and Terry Pytlarz for “Seven Green Lights.” In the youth artist category, the Best of Show Award was given to “My Cup of Tea,” a drawing in graphite by Jesse J. Verner II, a sophomore at Fairview High School. Earning honorable mention awards were Tyree Start, a junior at Erie High School, for his drawing, “Marine Pilot,” and Melissa Yeung, a junior at Harbor Creek High School, for her painting, “The Girl with the Blue Earring.” In youth photography, the Best of Show Award was presented to Isabelle Southard, a sophomore at McDowell Intermediate High School, for “A New Perspective.” Honorable mention photography awards were given to Camryn Catalde, a senior at Villa Maria Academy, for “Less Bitter, More Glitter,” and to Michaela Platz, a senior at Fairview High School, for “Bonsai.” Planning is already underway for the April 2019 show.

Save the date Tim and Lisa NeCastro, honorary chair couple, are alerting the community that it will soon be time to take in all the beauty of the Italian countryside at SafeNet’s fundraiser on Aug. 3 at 6 p.m. The general public is invited to come see how SafeNet’s Big Backyard, at 229 E. Ninth St. in downtown Erie, which is a holistic play space for children, is converted into a Tuscan garden for its sixth annual benefit event. In all of its 44 years, SafeNet has never received grant funding specifically for the needs of children, and yet those needs have never been ignored thanks to the generosity of the Erie community. Save the date to meet “Under the Tuscan Sun.” To learn more, call 455-1774 Ext. 227.

DEAR ABBY

As widow moves on, mom wants son’s ashes Jeanne Phillips DEAR ABBY: My adult son passed away two years ago at a young age. We were very close while he was growing up. He married young, and I maintained a great relationship with both him and his wife.

They gave me the most precious grandchildren any woman could ask for, and I am extremely active in their little lives. My daughter-in-law has moved on. She met a nice young man, and they are planning to be married in the near future. Do you think I would be out of line to request to have my son’s ashes back home with me? We live near each other, I love her very much, and we still have a great relationship. I don’t want

to damage it by asking this if it’s not appropriate. I would pass his ashes on to his children when they grow up, of course, but for now, I’d love to have my son back home with me and his dad because she has started her new life. My husband is noncommittal about the subject. When I broach it, he says he “doesn’t want to talk about it.” I really have no one to ask or confide in about this. Your thoughts would be most appreciated.

— Still Brokenhearted in North Carolina

DEAR STILL BROKENHEARTED: Please accept

my sympathy for the loss of your clearly dearly beloved son. If you would like to have his ashes after his widow remarries, I doubt she would be offended if you asked what her plans are for them and if you could have them or split them with her. I can understand why you would want them, but I’m not at all certain

your grandchildren would welcome that responsibility when they become adults. Your husband may be reluctant to discuss this because he is still grieving and hurting, too. However, because you are, as you say, still brokenhearted, please consider grief counseling and joining a grief support group. Write Dear Abby at www.dearabby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Out for

trout

Trout season opens in northwestern Pennsylvania By Greg Wohlford greg.wohlford@ timesnews.com

Ben Orengia, 35, had a good view of the action on opening day of trout season, April 14, from his spot in the northwest corner of Upper Gravel Pit pond in Fairview Township. “The first hour was good,” Orengia said. “People were bringing quite a few in, but now it's dying down a little.” Numerous groups around the pond had fires burning on the bank to cook breakfast and knock off the chill. Kids played in puddles or helped stoke the fires if the fishing was slow. Fairview resident Kris Sandell, 34, fished with his son Kris Sandell Jr., 8. “We come here every year,” Sandell said.

“We're doing pretty well, this overcast weather makes the fishing a little better.” Lucas Webber, 14, fishing with his friend Tanner Manross, 10, said, “Mostly we like camping out overnight and having a good time with family.” Manross added, “And having a good dinner.” At Cascade Creek in Erie's Frontier Park, five people had lines in the water just north of West Eighth Street. Edinboro resident Glenn Tupper, 26, started the day fishing near his home. “I was one of two people to catch fish down there,” Tupper said as he reeled in a small one. “Then I came up here to see if I could do any better.”

Vaping on the sly New devices are making it easy to vape at school

By JoAnne Viviano More Content Now

igh school administrators are increasingly warning parents about teens using e-cigarettes or vapes. Battery-powered vaporizers allow youngsters to inhale vapors from nicotine mixed with liquids in flavors such as bubblegum, cookies-and-cream or Mountain Dew. They also can be used to inhale marijuana and other drugs. It’s illegal for unaccompanied minors to use or possess the devices, but high schools and some middle schools across the country have been updating tobacco policies to prohibit e-cigarette use on school property. School officials say confiscations of e-cigarettes have grown from about two or three a year to at least a couple a month. According to a 2014 youth tobacco survey, nearly 41 percent of high school students had tried e-cigarettes, compared with 7.7 percent in 2010. In 2014, nearly 22 percent of high schoolers were current users, meaning they had used the devices within the previous 30 days. Teens are smoking e-cigarettes at a rate higher than young adults and adults, of whom 5.7 percent are current users, said Mandy Burkett, director of the Tobacco Program at the Ohio Department of Health. A number of youngsters, and even some parents, don’t see the harm in e-cigarettes because they don’t contain many of the carcinogens found in traditional cigarettes. And some vape the flavors only, without added nicotine. A report released in January by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine found conclusive evidence that replacing traditional cigarettes with e-cigarettes reduces a user’s exposure to numerous toxicants and carcinogens. However, the report also found that most e-cigarettes emit potentially toxic substances. And it found substantial evidence that use of e-cigarettes by youth and young adults increases the risk that they will at some point use traditional cigarettes. That concerns Dr. Judith Groner, a Nationwide Children’s Hospital physician who chairs the American Academy of Pediatrics section on tobacco control. Nicotine use in the short-term, she said, can cause cardiovascular issues. In the long-term, it can lead to increasing levels of addiction most easily satisfied by smoking traditional cigarettes. Once a brain develops an addiction pathway, Burkett added, teens are more susceptible to becoming hooked on other things, including drugs.

Vaporizers are a growing problem at schools. These are popular among young people now and were conﬁscated at a high school in Worthington, Ohio. [ERIC ALBRECHT/DISPATCH PHOTOS]

Teens and JUULing

The relatively inexpensive Juul ($35) has become the preferred e-cigarette for underage teens. This is mostly because of its design and convenience: the device looks like a USB flash drive, recharges in any USB port and it’s pods come in enticing flavors (fruit medley, mango, creme brulee). A survey by Truth Initiative (a nonprofit tobacco control organization) of 1,018 15- to 24-year-olds in the U.S. revealed that 37 percent of teens were uncertain that when using a JUUL they are inhaling nicotine, although it clearly states on the JUUL website that each pod is equal to 200 cigarette puffs (equivalent of a pack).

Source: https://www.rd.com/ advice/parenting/juuling/ Additionally, Groner said, flavorings, which are approved by the FDA for use as food additives, have not

been tested for safety if inhaled. Charlotte Hickcox, statehouse lobbyist for the Ohio Vapor Trade Association, said the typical vapor store customer is not a teenager but someone who has used traditional tobacco products in the past and has made a decision to switch to a noncombustible form of nicotine delivery. Vapor stores agree that minors should not be vaping, she said, and make it a practice to keep minors out of stores. School administrators say that underage students are getting the devices from older students. Administrators updating handbooks try to stay broad enough to include various types of vaporizers and, hopefully, stay a step ahead of technology, said Tim Freeman, a retired high school principal. At a January conference, he said, e-cigarettes were a hot topic. But administrators and health officials are fighting a tobacco industry that spends big bucks on advertising and promotions, Burkett said. While traditional cigarettes have become largely socially unacceptable among teens, the concern now is that “all the cool kids have a vape,” Freeman said.

Organs from overdose victims could save lives By Melissa Healy Los Angeles Times

The widening tragedy that is the U.S. drug-overdose epidemic could have an improbable silver lining: For the 120,000 desperate Americans on the waiting list for a donated organ, the line could get a little shorter. In 2000, only 149 organs from donors who suffered a fatal drug overdose were transplanted into patients waiting for a replacement kidney, heart, liver or lungs. In 2016, overdose victims donated 3,533 such organs for transplant. For many transplant

patients, the increased availability of organs from those who die of drug intoxication has translated into slightly improved survival rates at the five-year mark, according to new research. Among all prospective organ donors, the youngest and healthiest have generally been those who become brain dead due to trauma — falls, drownings, electrocution, vehicle crashes and violent injuries. Patients who lose all brain function as a result of stroke, heart attack or brain hemorrhage also become organ donors. But they tend to be older, and their organs

are typically in worse shape, often compromised by risk factors like high blood pressure, diabetes and worrisome cholesterol. As organ donors, victims of fatal drug overdose are a mixed lot. Almost two-thirds are still young — between 21 and 40 — and they’re much less likely than those who died of a stroke or heart attack to have organs worn down by cardiovascular ills. But they’re also more likely than other donors to have serious viral infections like HIV and hepatitis B or C — infections that would likely be passed to a transplant recipient through an

infected organ. Rates of drug-overdose deaths have more than tripled in the United States since 2000, driven by rising addiction to opioids. That grim trend has brought about a 24-fold increase in transplants involving an organ harvested from an overdose victim. In a study published April 16 in the Annals of Internal Medicine, researchers from Johns Hopkins University set out to glean how opioid use has changed the prospects for transplant recipients, and whether these parting gifts from drug abusers were being well used.

In 2017, Keith Taylor, Ph.D., president, Gannon University; Michael Edwards, CEO, Marquette Savings Bank; Anna Frantz, director, Our West Bayfront; Pete Sitter, Marquette Savings Bank; and Candace Battles, Our West Bayfront; appeared on the cover of the March issue of Lake Erie LifeStyle. They represented a few of the businesses that made decisions to revitalize downtown Erie with a group called Our West Bayfront. A year later, that group — bolstered by construction at Erie Insurance, UPMC Hamot and VelocityNet — continue to bring new life to the city with investments from Marquette Savings Bank, UPMC Health Plan, Gannon University and Erie Insurance. The plan encompasses Presque Isle Bay south to West 12th Street and from Sassafras Street west to the Bayfront Parkway. The area includes 4,400 structures and 13,000 residents.

So what has happened in a year? In early April, 100 Erie residents attended the first of five meetings as part of Mayor Joe Schember’s efforts to explain Our West Bayfront and Erie Refocused to residents. In an article by Kevin Flowers, of the Erie

Times-News, Mayor Joe Schember shared his feelings. “This is probably the most people I’ve seen at a neighborhood meeting, ” Schember said. “They were attentive and involved the whole time. This is a big first step for us to get out and get feedback and input from people, and understand what we’re trying to do.” Anna Frantz, executive director of Our West Bayfront, had explained a grant program for homeowners; tree-trimming and sidewalk improvements; community garden plans near West Fourth and Poplar streets; and upgrades at Bayfront Park on West Second Street. Frantz has expertise in urban planning in New York City with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development, and she is focused on similar efforts for 843 acres in Erie. At the meeting, she encouraged residents to sign up for committees and get involved.

WELCOME

HOME

Our little spot of space — however big or small, however neat or not — is important to us because it’s ours. So here’s to celebrating what’s ours in May. We bring you our annual Home & Garden issue, with stories about people who commute long distances

because while they love their jobs, they also love their homes. You’ll also read about heirloom vs. hybrid plants, how to get an early start on your garden, and the spring colors that you can bring into your home to signal the end of a long, drab winter. LEL

HOME & GARDEN QUICK HITS

$36.1 BILLION on lawn and garden in 2015

HOW MUCH WE SPEND

MORE OF US ARE GARDENING

The U.S. is a nation full of gardeners — and we're spending more money on our lawns and gardens than in recent years, according to the website www. gardenresearch.com. Lawn and garden spending reached a reported $36.1 billion dollars in 2015, according to results of the annual National Gardening Survey.

Americans spent $3.5 billion on food gardening in 2013 — up from $2.5 billion in 2008 — a 40 percent increase in ﬁve years. From 2008 to 2013, the number of home gardens increased by 4 million to 37 million households, while community gardens tripled from 1 million to 3 million, a 200 percent increase, according to www.garmanddairy.com.

URBAN FARMING

WHAT'S NEW FOR YOUR HOUSE

The average American city on average needs to dedicate just 10 percent of its city limit area to urban farming to produce the entire recommended vegetable intake of its population, according to www.urbanvine.co.

GOING THE

DISTANCE

Sometimes there are many miles between work and home. But home’s still home, after all.

im Harvey drives two hours to get to work every day. “People give me the comment all the time, ‘Why don’t you move here?’ What I say is, ‘I love where I work, but I love where I live.’ That sums everything up.” For the past 17 years, that’s what Harvey, 60, has told people when they learn that he drives two hours each way from Gasport, New York, to his job as the program director of the exercise science program at Mercyhurst University.

He’s hit a few deer on his long commute to Erie that is 114 miles from his home, which is located about 20 miles northeast of Buffalo. But he’s avoided collisions with automobiles and only one time did he drive into a ditch. Thankfully, he was uninjured and able to get pulled out and continue on his way. His commute takes him along the eastern side of Lake Erie, where there is plenty of snow in the winter, making his drive take a little longer. In 17 years, he’s only missed about two dozen days of work because of

18 | L A K E E R I E L I F E S T Y L E

the weather conditions. But he’s had at least one commute that took him six hours to get home because the New York State Thruway was shut down for a while. He drives about 65,000 miles per year and his Chevrolet Malibu has about 320,000 miles on it right now. If you ask him, he’ll tell you it’s really just broken in. The last Malibu he drove had 475,000 miles on it — not when it died, but when he traded it in. Harvey likes to go to bed around 7 p.m. during the week and his alarm goes off at around 1:20 or 1:30 in the morning. He wants to

get to work before 3:45 a.m. so he can get an hour to 90-minute workout in and do some work before his day gets busy teaching classes. Typically, he finishes up with teaching around 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. and then gets home between 3 p.m. to 4 p.m. and hits the sack a few hours later. Harvey avoids making phone calls while driving, except when it is really necessary and has found other ways to be productive while spending so much time in his car. Surprisingly, boredom doesn’t set in very often. “No, not really, I get into a

zone,” Harvey says. “If I’m not zoned out on the book I’m listening to (on CD), I plan what I have to do for the day. On the way home, it’s decompression time. Whatever stress is there is gone during my decompression time, so when I get home I’m OK.” He fills up the tank every other day and spends about $100 per week on gas for his commute. Using synthetic oil for his car allows him to only need to get the oil changed about four times per year. Harvey says buying a new car works best for him, and it is

“

I don’t feel like it hinders my life at all. Lots of things I do are on my way home, so I don’t feel like I’m going out of my way. ” Katy Wolfrom, Cambridge Springs

critical that it has a comfortable seat. Then, he’ll drive it as long as it makes sense financially. “I don’t do warranties because in six months, I’m past the warranties,” Harvey says. “I just get new tires every fall. They are all-season tires, but they are new every year. Not special tires or treaded tires or anything like that.” Once his vehicle is paid off, he has a rule of thumb of how long he will drive it before trading it in toward the purchase of a new car. “I’ll give myself a $500 repair, but the next one I won’t do it. It costs $300 for a car payment,” Harvey says. He grew up around Gasport and so did his wife, and Harvey never really wanted to move away, so he’s adapted his lifestyle to allow him to enjoy doing what he loves. His children are grown up and have moved away, so he doesn’t do a lot when he’s home during the week. His career gives him a schedule that includes weekends, holidays and summers off, so that’s when he and his wife spend time with the children and grandchildren. Many who know him sometimes think he’s a little crazy to spend some much time

commuting to Erie. “My wife asked me, ‘Why don’t you work around here in Buffalo?’” Harvey says. “I haven’t seen a position I really, really, really want. When I interviewed at Mercyhurst, I fell in love with how the people around me sold the university to me and it really hasn’t changed. I love working with the kids and molding them and I really love working at Mercyhurst.” Paul Vickery, 35, of Conneaut, Ohio, started a new job in February working at Erie Insurance, and the experience of a lengthy commute is new to him. It takes him about an hour in his Volkswagen Jetta to get to work now in Erie, more than twice as long when compared to his old job in Ashtabula, Ohio. “It’s been a huge adjustment. It took me about 25 minutes on a slow day before,” Vickery says. “I thought my car was pretty good on gas, and I didn’t have to put much gas in it. Before I filled it maybe once a week; now it’s at least twice a week.” He’s learning to deal with driving farther when it snows and admits that it can be quite stressful when snow is flushed onto the windshield of his lowto-the-ground vehicle and when traffic gets a little

heavy when heading to the bayfront area. “For fuel efficiency it’s nice, but next winter I might have to change that because it doesn’t handle well,” Vickery says. “I might consider taking a hit on the fuel efficiency and get an SUV or truck that handles better in the snow, just to be safe.” He has noticed the extra time to commute makes him feel more tired when he gets home later than before and, to save some time, he eats breakfast at work instead of at home. When he’s home, Vickery says that he prefers not to drive and he’s glad that his girlfriend likes to drive, so he can relax. Katy Wolfrom, 45, of Cambridge Springs, has had a long commute to various jobs for most of the past 15 years. She has worked in downtown Erie for the last three years, but worked for a while at Clarion University, which was an 80-minute commute from her home. “For me, driving to work gets me prepared for work each day. By the time I get home from work, I’m done and I’m at home,” Wolfrom says. “I really have gotten used to that aspect of it. I love listening to NPR, and this is how I get my news.” Her husband Sean bought

75 acres in Cambridge Springs before they were married, and the plan was to build a house there. Her college degree was in education, and she decided that she would need to drive to where the jobs were located because there wasn’t much available in her field within the rural community. Her side of the family lives in Erie, so spending a significant amount of time in the city, even on her days off, isn’t a big deal for her. “On a Saturday and Sunday, I’m taking a trip to Erie to do something. I don’t even think of it anymore,” Wolfrom says. “I don’t feel like it hinders my life at all. I don’t have children so it might be different that way. Lots of things I do are on my way home, so I don’t feel like I’m going out of my way.” Sean Wolfrom is handy with cars and that helps them save money because he will take care of general vehicle maintenance, including oil changes. She fills up her 2009 Acura TSX about once a week. “We always want to make sure we have good tires, especially snow tires,” she says. “I feel if we have good tires, that’s important. I honestly can’t remember getting stuck in a ditch.” LEL

Heirloom or hybrid? Those who are preparing to plant seeds have to weigh the positives of both

eople who plant — from commercial farmers to backyard gardeners — all strive for producing great tasting crops. Finding that perfect seed or seedling may depend on the gardener’s preference for traditional, original plants versus the modern cross-bred variety or a mix of both. The terms hybrid and heirloom are used frequently, and it can be confusing to the novice gardener. The term heirloom describes any type of vegetable seed that has been saved and grown for a period of years and passed down by the gardener that preserved it. When two different species of plants are crosspollinated, which can happen with or without human intervention, they produce what’s known as a hybrid. Hybrids are not the same as genetically modified organisms (GMOs) that have been genetically altered.

“There’s something unique about growing and continuing a line of vegetables that have been around for 100 years,” said Rochelle Krowinski of Erie. “If it’s exquisite, why not continue to grow it?” Krowinski and her husband, Bill, who grew up on a farm, both share a love for gardening and experimenting with plants. They grow sweet corn on one acre of property, and pumpkin, winter squash and potatoes on a separate one-acre plot. Additionally, a large fenced-in house garden is home to butternut and buttercup squash along with Winter Luxury pie pumpkin, a favorite of hers. “I’m selective because I freeze or can most of what we grow,” she said. The garden also includes tomatoes, peppers, beans, red beets and pickles. “I think the flavor of heirloom plants is amazing,” she added. “I’ve purchased various heirloom tomato plants to try. You have to see what grows best in our climate and growing season.”

24 | L A K E E R I E L I F E S T Y L E

She believes the preservation of plants that have been grown for generations is important. She said that Seed Savers Exchange is a nonprofit organization that has been growing, saving and sharing heirloom seeds for more than 40 years. The organization’s website encourages visitors to “grow with us and help keep heirlooms where they belong — in our gardens and on our tables, for generations to come.” Seed Savers maintain a collection of about 25,000 rare and heirloom varieties in a seed bank at its Iowa headquarters. Sales, through a catalog and online store, support the group’s nonprofit work, which involves educating and supporting community groups and gardeners looking to grow, save and share seeds. The owner of Erie’s Mason Farms, John Mason Jr., finds that customers typically want to plant a mixture of the old and new. Most of Mason Farms’ heirloom varieties are found in tomato plants and seeds it both sells

and grows, and customers will find heirloom pepper plants and corn plants there, too. For a business like his, a lower price can often be found when purchasing large amounts of heirloom plants to grow. He said that’s because hybrids and GMOs often have royalties involved, adding to the price. “The heirloom plants will always be there; they won’t go away,” he said. “They are the basis for some of the new hybrids and genetically engineered plants.” “The cross-breeds can have advantages for the home gardener as far as being easier to grow with new features such as bug resistance,” Mason said. Likewise, heirlooms can sometimes be less hardy than their hybrid counterparts. It will take more effort on the grower’s part to grow them organically, as they will be more susceptible to pests and disease. Krowinski said there is a vitality and vigor to some of the hybrids, primarily beans and pickles. “It’s not all or nothing; it’s a

balance,” she said about filling her garden with both heirloom and hybrids. “Overall, the old standbys have pretty good flavors,” Mason said. “However, when you’re growing for a farm and shipping your produce to grocers, for example, you need harder tomatoes. When selling locally and not shipping, we can concentrate more on flavor and texture.” “I think gardeners are having fun putting more thought into their gardens today,” Mason said. “With such a large variety of all types of plants, from those that have been around for generations to the newest hybrids, people can play around and see what works best for them.” “Gardening is our rest and relaxation,” said Krowinski. “And part of growing is giving away what we’ve produced, which I also enjoy.” Heirloom or hybrid, either way, eating those home-grown goods is right around the corner.

SPRING INSIDE WITH COLOR Bring on the pink, lavender and green marble. It’s all about coloring inside right now. Story by Marie Feltz

pring has officially arrived. Gone are the cold, bitter days of winter spent cooped up inside your house dreaming of sunshine and warm weather. Now, you can spend more time outside and open up the windows to let in the fresh air and bask in all of the season’s glory. But temperatures aren’t the only thing changing this season. Now’s the perfect time to give your space a makeover based on the latest spring home trends.

Color can revitalize your kitchen for spring and summer. [DECORATING DEN/CONTRIBUTED PHOTO]

What better way to embrace change than by encouraging the same for your living space? It’s a time to think about adding some spring color inside. Here are a few 2018 decor trends you could consider following: Green marble According to Elle Decor, marble is the home decor trend to get on top of this year, particularly in shades of green. It can add a classic charm to any room without coming across as too vintage or antique. In fact, it may be considered modern if you execute it correctly. Green marble accessories, in the form of coasters, tiles, pots, end table and serving boards can make a unique statement throughout your home this spring without going overboard.

Bright colors in the kitchen Warm colors made the kitchen cozier and inviting during the winter, but it’s time to shed the layers and make the room pop with the essence of springtime with bright hues. Whether the shades are bold or subtle, loud colors can bring your kitchen back to life this season. This move can make a substantial statement, especially when the room is 28 | L A K E E R I E L I F E S T Y L E

mostly neutral — complement the white walls and cabinetry with pastel wall art and colorful kitchen accessories.

Bold floral prints Will floral prints ever go out of style? They’ve been popular for years, and there’s no sign of the craze stopping any time soon. This year, however, florals are considered a more classic design element, rather than a feminine statement, according to Anthropologie customer styling director Christina Frederick. “Rather than a traditionally feminine look in 2018 they feel especially fresh and more interesting styled in a casual bohemian way,” she told Country Living magazine. “Juxtaposing florals with organic textures and neutral palettes evokes a new kind of elegance that is appealing.” Consider bold floral prints in your furniture, or complement neutral statement pieces with floral accent decor.

Lavender While millennial pink made a big splash last year, lavender is all the rage in 2018, according to Nancy Fire, creative director of HGTV HOME.

“Millennial pink is still around and I still love it, but it’s morphing into lavender and lilac,” she told House Beautiful magazine. Use lavender accessories and accents to liven up any room this spring. Throw pillows, area rugs, lamp shades and tabletop trinkets in lavender and lilac can make a beautiful and refreshing statement this season. Don’t rule out millennial pink, however. It’s still popular and bound to stick around. “People were sarcastic about millennial pink at the beginning, but it’s being used to bring out beautiful, soft tones with accents that are deeper,” Fire said. It’s easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of the season change and neglect your home — sometimes it just feels like there simply isn’t enough time during the day to change up the design and decor that defines your space. But this isn’t a task you have to tackle on your own; using an interior decorator can help you feel more secure about your choices and provide resources you might not find on your own. It’s spring. Refresh and rejuvenate your home. LEL

Give your plants some time to bloom The winter that never ended may have damaged some plants, but the advice is to wait before you bury your plant. Story by Adrian Higgins

ometimes a “dead” plant can start producing new growth — in late May and look normal by summer. Tardiness might give the impression that plants have given up the ghost, but patience is the key. According to a 2014 study, the leaf-out dates of woody plants can vary by as much as three months, with trees being later

than shrubs, conifers later than flowering plants and even the diameter of a plant’s plumbing affecting when it begins to grow. This spring will be worse than most, especially for broadleaf evergreens. Evergreens need to be fully hydrated before the ground freezes to minimize wilting and leaf scorch when frigid

temperatures and winds arrive. But plants in the Mid-Atlantic entered winter in near-drought conditions and then had to endure a prolonged freeze at the end of the year. The result is already evident — a great deal of browning and scorching on such popular plants as azaleas, cherry laurels and camellias. The one abiding piece of advice is this: Wait. With woody plants that appear dead, there is a quick way to gauge their vitality: If you scrape the bark, either with your thumbnail or a blade, a green layer beneath suggests all is well. (If one branch tests brown, check others.) But even if it looks dead, give it a while before reaching for the shovel. In the garden, false death comes in a number of forms, but the general advice is the same: Wait a few weeks and see what happens. By late May, you will know what is alive and what isn’t. Unlike hibernating deciduous plants, conifers and broadleaf evergreens must endure the full brunt of winter; this includes desiccation caused by frozen soil, de-icing-salt injury, wind burn, sun scorch and the general damage to tissue from hard freezes. The damage can be particularly conspicuous on broadleaf evergreens, and expect to see various degrees of injury on azaleas, rhododendrons, some hollies, aucubas, cherry laurels, nandinas and camellias, to name the most obvious. The damage ranges from brown edges to entire leaf browning and stem dieback. Plants with damaged leaves but with stems intact will develop new foliage this spring. Those with dead stems are likely to produce new shoots either from the base of the plant or at the point on a branch below the freeze damage. There is no need to cut off leaves that are brown. Beyond getting exasperated by the tedium of the task, you risk damaging the replacement buds at the base of each leaf. The bush will drop affected leaves when it’s ready. Some small trees and shrubs are prone to damage to their branches after a harsh winter, but because the roots are more protected than the top growth, many plants will re-sprout from the ground. This may mess up their shape and diminish their presence for a year or two, but the plant should come back strongly and successfully from an established root system, especially with some gentle shaping from the gardener. One popular late starter is the crape myrtle, which may not stir until early May. Another is the native fringe tree. Perennials, too, can take their time. Because they grow directly from the ground, their appearance is directly related to soil temperatures, which vary by soil type, drainage and location. The advice with winter-damaged plants is not to act, which is frustrating to the nurturers among us, but here are steps that will help the plant and gardener alike.

32 | L A K E E R I E L I F E S T Y L E

Water: Give damaged plants one good watering and then monitor the soil conditions as the spring warms up. If it remains dry, water every week or so. You want the soil to be neither bone-dry nor saturated.

Mulch: A light mulch will help retain soil moisture and keep competing weeds away. Let it be a layer of no more than two inches and don’t pile mulch against trunks or stems. Shredded and half-rotted leaves — leaf mold — are perfect for this and will break down and feed the soil quickly.

Feed: A light feeding of slow-release fertilizer will help plants grow. Whether you use organic or chemical feed is your choice, but follow the directions and err on the side of too little rather than too much.

Wait: And remember, there will be enough general ﬂowering and leaﬁng out in the weeks ahead to keep your eyes — and mind — off winter’s battered survivors.

Gardening tip for the lawn: Bare patches in the lawn can be seeded with cool-season grasses now, including mixes containing quicksprouting ryegrasses, but expect the new grass to be a temporary ﬁx, melting away with summer heat. The optimum time for tall fescue seeding is in early fall to allow grass to establish before its ﬁrst summer. LEL

IRONSTONE MEADERY READY FOR CUSTOMERS Story by Steve Orbanek

f you happen to see Rich Konkol wearing a Viking tunic, there’s no reason to be alarmed. For Konkol, it’s part of his everyday attire, but beyond that, it’s also representative of the commitment that he and his business partners share for their new venture: IronStone Meadery. IronStone Meadery will soon open its doors at 9333 Tate Road, located inside the Greene Township building. The meadery is planning to have its soft openings in May. The meadery is also the first business of its kind for the northwestern Pennsylvania region.

WHAT’S IN A NAME When thinking of what to name their business, the Konkols and Murrays wanted to ﬁnd something that complemented each family. Thus, that’s what ultimately brought them to IronStone Meadery. Brian Murray also works in construction, and his company is named Stone Mountain Construction. The Konkols also own a farm, which they have named Iron Willow Farm. They then took a part of the name from both businesses to settle on their meadery’s name.

Perhaps one of the most intriguing things about IronStone Meadery is the fact that its owners (Konkol, his wife Diana Konkol, Kelly Murray and Brian Murray) are “all in” when it comes to mead and its history. For instance, the owners often wear attire reminiscent of the Norsemen who inhabited Scandinavia between 800 and 1300 AD and spoke the language that is now known as Old Norse. That’s not an accident. Some historians believe that the beverage was created by Norsemen, and it was also a prominent part of their culture as it was served during their three largest feasts: the celebration of the harvest, mid-winter and mid-summer. “Vikings are historically the ones who started making mead,” said Konkol, who also owns Konkol Welding. “So really, that’s kind of the idea we’re going for with this.” The venture started last year on April 1, 2017, when after a series of discussions, the group of friends finally decided to pursue opening a meadery. Both Rich Konkol and Brian Murray had been brewing mead for a long time, bringing 11 and 10 years of experience, respectively, to the project. One of the challenges would be educating From left to right are Diana Konkol, her daughter Maranda, Rich Konkol, Kelly Murray and Brian Murray, the public about mead, a fermented beverthe owners of IronStone Meadery. The group decided on April 1, 2017, to start the process of opening a age made of water and honey, malt and yeast. meadery. [CONTRIBUTED PHOTO]

But according to the four owners, that’s also one reason why opening a meadery seemed like such a good opportunity. As it stands, the closest meaderies are located in Pittsburgh, Buffalo and Cleveland. “We really want the people of Erie to fall in love with mead,” Diana Konkol said. “We plan to even have it on tap and have rotating flavors of the month.” Unlike brewing beer, making mead can be a very time-consuming process, with some varieties taking several months. Thus, the four owners have spent the last few months brewing surplus mead to ensure they have enough product to open the business. “We have to make sure that we do not run out of product, so we’re really working hard to ensure that does not happen,” Brian Murray said. One thing that has made opening the new business go smoothly is that each owner has an area of specialty. For instance, Brian Murray is known for making strong session meads, while Rich Konkol focuses on making meads that age for up to six or seven months. Kelly Murray, who also works as an accountant for the Erie Sports Store, is handling all of the business’ finances, while Diana Konkol will manage the tasting room and has played a

key role in choosing the décor for the meadery. “All of us work really well together, and we wouldn’t want to do this without one another,” Kelly Murray said. “Communication is the No. 1 thing, and this really is like a marriage,” added Diana Konkol. “Thankfully, none of us take any criticism to heart, and we don’t have to tiptoe on eggshells when working with one another.” In the future, the business partners say they hope to expand and potentially open a Norsemen-type resort that would serve as the meadery. For now, they plan to focus on their current location, which has been completely self-funded. The goal is to really work to help patrons gain the same love for mead that the four business owners have. “When you come in here, you’ll be stepping back in time, and you get a taste of the past. We want to create a completely different experience,” Rich Konkol said. Once open, IronStone Meadery will offer both to-go bottle sales as well as on-site consumption.

Let them eat ‘dirt.’ It’s delicious Flowerpot “cake” is a clever diversion from an ordinary cake and is perfect for gardening lovers. Story by Jennie Geisler

May should be named national cake month. What with all the first communions, confirmations, graduations, going aways, retirements, in addition to regular old birthdays and sundry celebrations, and of course, Mother’s Day sitting on her throne in the center of it all, (May 13 this year). We’re talking about a lot of frosting lying around. Perhaps Mom, in lieu of a regular old vase of cut blooms and another baked frosting fest, might enjoy some blossoms growing out of her “cake.” It isn’t really a cake, per se. It’s more of a layered pudding/Oreo/cream cheese/whipped topping delight served in a new flowerpot. If she’s a gardener, she’ll probably love it, as it comes complete with flowers and can be served, if you so choose, with a (spic and span) new trowel. Throw in a new pair of gardening gloves and a plantable something or other, and she’ll be ready to go — once she’s eaten all her “soil.” If for some ungodly reason she doesn’t like chocolate, you can use vanilla pudding and vanilla Oreos. It would still be tasty, though it won’t look much like dirt. Just make sure everything that touches the food has never touched actual soil and is thoroughly washed before it touches food. Be sure to line your vessel with plastic wrap because the plastic used to make flower pots doesn’t have to be food-grade. Martha Stewart’s website suggested sterilizing a terra cotta pot in a 350degree oven for two to three hours. (I would not try that with a plastic pot.) If you do that, make sure you have time to let it cool down, and I’d still line it, but that’s just me. Don’t use anything with a shiny glaze that could contain nonfood-grade chemicals in it, such as lead. I actually made this for my father-in-law, who is an avid flower gardener with a birthday in May. He was, in his words, “tickled pink.” LEL

DIRT CAKE • 1 4- or 5-quart plastic flowerpot • 1 package Oreo cookies (16 ounces) • 12 ounces cream cheese, room temperature • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature • 4 packages (3.9 ounces each) instant chocolate pudding • 4¾ cups milk • 1 (16-ounce) carton frozen whipped topping, thawed • One bunch fresh or silk flowers of choice, stem bottoms wrapped in plastic wrap. (If using fresh flowers, add a wet paper towel.) • New garden trowel, optional • Clean pot with hot soapy water, dry thoroughly and line it with plastic wrap.

Place cookies in the bowl of a food processor. Process until mixture resembles dirt. Set aside. In a large bowl, combine cream cheese and butter, and stir until creamy. Set aside. In another large bowl, whisk together instant pudding mixes and milk; stir until well blended. Using a rubber spatula, fold pudding mixture into cream-cheese mixture. Fold in whipped topping. In the ﬂowerpot, alternate layers of cookie “dirt” and pudding mixture, starting and ending with cookie “dirt.” Chill at least 4 hours or overnight. To serve, insert ﬂowers into the center of the pot. Serve with a new garden trowel (washed in hot, soapy water).

WELDING ART & METAL New artistic career begins after welding job ends. Story by Brian R. Sheridan

t took two layoffs from his full-time position at Erie’s General Electric facility to give welder Adam Stempka the idea that maybe a dream from his past of becoming an artist could become his reality of today. Stempka had long been artistic, using metals, ink and paint to create unique artwork for friends and relatives. However, it took a metal deer head he fabricated, and posted a photo of on Facebook, that suddenly had people he didn’t know asking for more. Then someone requested Stempka make an American flag made of metal that showed the hardships of battle but also the resilience of the American spirit. Stempka wasn’t sure he wanted to do it. He had already seen another artist do a similar metal flag.

“I’ve seen a lot of cool stuff that people have done with metal and I’m not one to copy, but I made him that one, and put that on Facebook. Then I just got bombarded by people who wanted one,” Stempka says. With the support of many friends, family and strangers, Stempka created “Metalheads” in 2016. He partnered with his father Ray, a retired GE welding engineer, to meet the increasing demands for his unique brand of metal artwork. His Facebook page became a business page and nearly 1,200 people have liked and followed it. Stempka came to appreciate art when he was a youngster but never saw it as a career path until now. “My grandfather would take us (Adam and his brother) to buy comic books all the time and I

would never even read the comic books. It was always about the cover. I was very into the visuals of it. I loved looking at the detail in the art,” he says. His love of drawing became a passion. Stempka excelled at it at Fort LeBeouf High School, where he says art teachers encouraged him to do more with art. He had the opportunity to go to art school, but it was the family’s welding business that beckoned him in a different direction. “When I told my father about wanting to go on to art school,” Stempka recalls, “he kind of turned me in a different direction because, while I’m sure lots of people go to art school, not many of them make money. I think he was just looking out for me as a father, and I don’t regret it because I always had that love for art.” He went to work in the family welding business, worked at a shipyard, and ended up at General Electric. In all of those jobs, Stempka learned about metal — how to shape it and how to create with it. While building parts of trains at GE, he used the left-over scrap to make his own metal art pieces. When his second layoff from GE came in 2015, Stempka made a hard choice not to pursue other welding jobs. His unemployment insurance provided him free schooling, and he used his unemployment money to buy a new

Metal sculptures are a new artistic career for Adam Stempka, owner of Metalheads. [CONTRIBUTED PHOTO]

MIG welder that he could use on sculptures. The layoff also gave him the gift of time. “I had the time to just sit there and kind of try and make the sculptures I’d always wanted to do. It’s called a European deer mount — where it’s just the skull and horns. I had this new welder, and I had the time to sit in my garage and just start fabricating it. It came out really, really well,” Stempka says. Unexpectedly, a man in Florida bought it after seeing a picture of it on Facebook. In just a year, Stempka had become the artist that he dreamed of becoming as a boy. He’s not the “smock and beret” type that sits in front of a canvas with a delicate paintbrush. Stempka favors camouflage Carhartt jackets, a baseball cap and a welder’s mask. That attire is more helpful in keeping him safe as he wields a hot flaming torch on a piece of virgin metal. “I took what I learned in the manufacturing and the welding field and just kind of merged it with my love for art,” he says. “When I got laid off again from GE, I really asked myself ‘what could I do every day that I would love to do when I wake up?’ Even if I made $200,000 a year, when you wake up just hating life, and not wanting to go to your job, that is no way to go. And I happened to be in the position where I could take a chance and try something different, and it’s been awesome.” While he makes metal signage, steam-punk style clocks, and sculptures of dogs, it has

been the battle flags that Stempka has been creating — and selling — the most. He doesn’t want to get into “the political stuff” but he says he loves his country and is proud to fabricate these American flags. “I have a lot of respect for the sacrifice that people have given for generations. I liked the patriotic (aspect of the) battle-worn flag. It went through a battle. It’s worn. But it’s still there and we like to say ‘fly your flag.’ It’s customizable. Maybe you lost a loved one, maybe your husband or wife was in the military. You can put that on there. I know that it’s something that speaks to so many different people,” Stempka says. Locally, Metalheads has been wellreceived. The Tom Ridge Environmental Center has displayed Stempka’s work. His business even received a nomination for a 2017 Disrupt Erie award. Social media has helped spread his art to the rest of the country. The online environment can, for some, be a difficult place where trolls look for every opportunity to tear down your work. Luckily, social media users have been supportive of Metalheads. Even if the online reaction had been negative, Stempka just sees Facebook as another tool for him to use for his art. “You’re giving away quite a bit to be on there (Facebook) so you should use it to your advantage if you can. It is like the greatest marketing tool on the planet. I’ve maybe spent $50 ever on boosting a post. But it has been people sharing posts and having them go viral. It just keeps growing and growing,” he says. While the battle flags have given him opportunity, and some notoriety, Stempka looks at branching out to other subject matter. He says he’s “apprehensive” about the attention he’s been receiving, preferring that people focus on his work and gives thanks to his supportive family members and friends. Besides metal, copper and stainless steel hold an interest as materials for the welder to use. No matter the subject, or the material, Stempka wants to keep growing in this art and business. “How will I keep up, you know? What will I do in order to grow with it and still be a part of each individual piece? But that’s all exciting to me. I’m in charge of my own destiny. “With something like this, the sky’s the limit. It opens up doors. I’m doing what I love. I can make whatever I can dream up, and it’s a dream come true,” Stempka says. LEL

Thomas the Tank Engine takes over Kennywood track Thomas Town will be second largest Thomas attraction in North America Story by Marsha Morgenstern

homas the Tank Engine fans will enjoy riding on Thomas himself and meeting some of his friends, including Gordon, Percy and James at Thomas Town in Pittsburgh. Opening in Kennywood Park this summer, Thomas Town will be the second largest permanent

Thomas and Friends attraction in North America. The largest in North America is Thomas Land at Evansville in Carver, Massachusetts. Thomas Town will include four new rides, a stage show and more. The ability to meet and interact with Thomas the Train is going to be a dream come true for many young visitors. “Thomas is one of the most

popular and iconic children’s brands, not just in the U.S., but in the entire world,” says Nick Paradise, director of public relations and social media for Kennywood. Although some trees were cleared, no rides were removed to make room for Thomas Town. The Olde Kennywood Railroad and Kennywood’s train itself, which has been in operation since 1945,

have been rethemed as Journey with Thomas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The front lead locomotive is going to have a Thomas body on it, complete with a moving face like in the television show,â&#x20AC;? Paradise says. In addition, a new audio soundtrack storyline includes Thomas telling stories that fans might recognize from shows or books. There will also be some displays along the train route that tie in the theme. Paradise describes the train ride as a way to get away from the hustle and bustle from the rest of the park. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a very picturesque setting â&#x20AC;Ś especially during the peak summer time and then in the fall, when the leaves start to turn,â&#x20AC;? he adds. All of the rides and attractions in Thomas Town will feature beloved characters, and guests will have a chance to take pictures with Sir Topham Hatt. Thomas Town will include a large, climate-controlled indoor soft play area jungle gym activity center. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can go into the soft play area and let the kids burn some more energy off while the parents maybe take a load off and relax,â&#x20AC;? Paradise says. There will also be an area there where junior conductors can play with trains. For families with older siblings that might not be as interested in Thomas, there are several other things to do and see at Kennywood Park, which is celebrating its 120th anniversary this year. This includes wooden rollercoasters that date back to the 1920s, thrill rides and classic family fun rides that were once standard issue but are now rare, such as the Kangaroo, which Paradise describes as the most underrated ride at the park. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Kangaroo is the only operating flying coaster in the world. It simulates a kangarooâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hop. You are going around in a circle and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one big jump the cars hop over. It is

If you go â&#x20AC;˘ 4800 Kennywood Blvd. â&#x20AC;˘ West MifďŹ&#x201A;in, PA 15122 â&#x20AC;˘ 412-461-0500 Admission: $9.99 to $41.99 www.kennywood.com www.visitpittsburgh.com

a lot of fun and pretty much everyone of all ages can ride it,â&#x20AC;? Paradise says. The Turtle ride with its six turtle-shaped cars climbing up and dipping down hills is another unique ride at Kennywood. A Pennsylvania-made ride, it is one of only two that are still operating in the world. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We see a lot of grandparents that will even ride it, so if it is three generations that are making a trip down, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of those that can be enjoyed by all,â&#x20AC;? Paradise says. Kennywood is also home to one of the most historic merry-go-rounds in the country. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is more than 90 years old and it has a still operating Wurlitzer band organ that is more than a 100 years old. It really it is a work of art and a treasure,â&#x20AC;? Paradise says, describing merry-go-rounds as the heart and soul of amusement parks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are hoping to get a lot of Thomas fans in through the gates and by the time they leave, they wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just be Thomas fans, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be Kennywood fans as well,â&#x20AC;? Paradise says. He also believes the addition of Thomas Town will open the door for more multiple-day visits by guests. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We do have a lodging page on our website and we do have several sponsor hotels that are featured prominently on there. You can book packages with a number of those hotels and visit Pittsburgh,â&#x20AC;? Paradise says. Thomas Town is slated to open in June. LEL
