Speeding violation program remains in high gear
City issued 1,196 citations in January;
collection rate only 17 percent
By DAVID SKOLNICK

YOUNGSTOWN
The city’s civil speeding violation
program shows no sign of slowing
down with 1,196 motorists cited in
January.
The program’s goal is to reduce
the speed of drivers in school zones
and on highways, city officials say.
But that apparently isn’t happening.
The number of citations last
month was above average.
The program started Aug. 18,
2015, with 5,051 motorists receiv-
ing speeding citations last year.
That’s an average
of about 1,120 a
month.
Of the 1,196 citations last month,

paying, said Lt. William Ross, head
of the city police department’s traffic unit, which operates the speed-
camera program. That’s a collection rate of only 17 percent.
In 2015, 52 percent of those cited
paid the city.
Optotraffic, the Maryland company that provides the speed cameras and processes the citations for
the city, can take up to a month to
mail the notices.
The city came to an agreement
Jan. 22 with Municipal Collections
of America to go after those who
don’t pay the fees, which range
from $100 to $150, depending on
the speed.
The program has officers issue
civil citations rather than stop
speeders and give moving violations with a fine and points on
their driving records.
Using $125 as an average fee for
the 2,604 paid citations in 2015,

Some alarmingly high lead levels
in tap water here were reduced to
levels well below the federal limit
by just running the water for five
minutes.
The numbers were
presented in a report
to Village Council
this week by Village
Manager Richard D.
Giroux.
For example, his
report said a reading

Poland Middle School students Gianna Carbon and Ally Andrews made “love rocks” Wednesday after hearing from Mary Ann Dieter, who
helps run a program in honor of her two granddaughters who were killed in a hit-and-run accident. Her message tied in with the school district’s “Start With Hello” week that aimed to foster connections between students.

TART WITH HELLO.
It’s a simple gesture that some family members of the
26 victims who were
killed in the 2012 Sandy Hook
Elementary School shooting
in Newtown, Conn., hope
can help prevent a similar
tragedy from happening to
someone else.
Sandy Hook Promise, an
organization that seeks to
“prevent gun-related deaths
due to crime, suicide and accidental discharge so that no
other parent experiences the
senseless, horrific loss of their
child,” brought that message to Poland students (and
thousands of other students
across the country) this week
with its “Start With Hello”
initiative.
Throughout the week, students districtwide engaged in
activities aimed at ending so-

Amid concerns raised over water
quality in Warren, Sebring and Flint,
Mich., the cities of Campbell and
Girard have decided to conduct extra
tests of water from several sites.
Both Campbell and Girard have
already complied with Ohio Environmental Protection Agency requirements for water testing. The
most recent tests were voluntary.
Campbell tested 20 sites for lead,
and Girard tested three sites for both
lead and copper. All tests came back
within federal acceptable levels.
“It was well worth it to put people’s
minds at ease,” Campbell Mayor
Poland Middle School eighth-grader Dante Parente paints a “love rock.” The decorated stones are meant to convey love, joy and happiness.

FERGUSON, MO.
The federal government
sued Ferguson on Wednesday, one day after the City
Council voted to revise an
agreement aimed at improving the way police and
courts treat poor people
and minorities in the St.
Louis suburb.
Attorney General Loretta Lynch said Ferguson’s
decision to reject the deal
left the Justice Department no choice except to
file a civil-rights lawsuit.
“The residents of Ferguson have waited nearly a
year for the city to adopt
an agreement that would
protect their rights and
keep them safe. ... They
have waited decades for
justice. They should not be
forced to wait any longer,”
Lynch told a Washington
news conference.
The Justice Department
complaint accuses Ferguson of routinely violating
residents’ rights and misusing law enforcement
to generate revenue – a
practice the government
alleged was “ongoing and
pervasive.”
Ferguson leaders “had
a real opportunity here to
step forward, and they’ve
chosen to step backward,”
Lynch said.

Trump spoofed in website’s film
NEW YORK
In one of the more elaborate and
unexpected spoofs of Donald Trump,
Johnny Depp has joined the ranks of
the combed-over, starring in a mock
documentary released the morning
after the GOP candidate’s primary
victory in New Hampshire.
The comedy website Funny or Die
on Wednesday unveiled “Donald
Trump’s The Art of the Deal: The
Movie,” a 50-minute video styled as
Trump’s own self-made TV movie
adaptation of his 1987 best-selling
advice book.
The film, shot clandestinely, stars
Depp as Trump in a startling transformation for even the actor known
for outlandish metamorphoses, such
as the Mad Hatter and Whitey Bulger.

agreement.
That seemed unlikely
from the outset. Within
hours of the Tuesday vote,
Vanita Gupta, head of the
Justice Department’s Civil
Rights Division, said in
a statement that the department would take “the
necessary legal actions” to
ensure Ferguson’s police
and court practices comply with the Constitution
and federal laws.
Knowles said the seven
amendments were formulated after the analysis
showed the deal was so
expensive it could lead to
dissolution of Ferguson.
The analysis suggested
that the first-year cost of
the agreement would be
$2.2 million to $3.7 million, with second- and
third-year costs between
$1.8 million and $3 million in each year.
Ferguson has an operating budget of $14.5 million
and already faces a $2.8
million deficit.
Voters will be asked to
approve two tax increases
in April, but approval of
both would still leave the
city short.

METRO Downtown YMCA to renovate

Info to grand jury
WARREN
The Warren Police Department will be presenting
information about the Feb. 2
apparent drug overdoses of
babies 21 and 9 months to a
Trumbull County grand jury.
The children were unresponsive and taken to the
hospital by their mother, but
both responded to a dose of
naloxone, the opiate-overdose-reversal drug, leading
officials to believe they had
eaten an opiate such as
heroin.
Both children were transferred to Akron Children’s
Hospital, where each received a second dose of
naloxone. They were released
from the hospital in good
condition a few days later and
were placed in the care of
county children services.
Police said their mother,
18, of Randolph Street
Northwest, is the main
suspect in the case because she was at the home
when the children became
unresponsive.

The Central YMCA unveiled plans for a project
that leaders described as a
“renaissance” of the downtown facility.
The project, slated to begin as soon as a financing
deal closes in a few days, is a
$5 million renovation of the
facility at 17 N. Champion
St. that’s served Youngstown
YMCA patrons for 100 years.
Y MCA representatives
said it’s the first major renovation project at the site in
nea rly 50
years.
“We want
this renaissance of our
building to
propel us
into the next
Hilk generat ion
of service,”
said Timothy Hilk, CEO of
the Youngstown YMCA, at
a Wednesday news conference.
The three-floor renovation
will replace part of the building’s exterior with large,
westward-facing windows.
Fitness areas will move to
the second floor, while the
first floor will be used as a
social area.
Gregg Strollo, whose firm,
Strollo Architects, Inc., designed the project, said it
aims to open up and brighten the space with more natural light.
It also will make the building more easily navigable.

at trial in Trumbull County
Common Pleas Court of failing to remit $22,868 in state
sales taxes from 2010 to
2014 for the business.
Kevin L. Evans, 38, owner
of KC Quality Custom Care
Auto, 3080 Mahoning Ave.
NW, will be sentenced after
the county’s Adult Probation Department conducts a
pre-sentence investigation.
Evans could get several years
in prison. The company also
was convicted Wednesday of
the same offenses.
Evans spent 50 months
in federal prison beginning
in 2004 for an elaborate
identity-theft scheme he
and others carried out in the
Warren area.
He was fitted with an
electronic stun vest during the trial, for which he
served as his own attorney,
after an outburst aimed at
Judge W. Wyatt McKay on
Wednesday.
Malnutrition study
COLUMBUS
A new state panel would
study malnutrition among
Ohio’s older residents, under
legislation being considered
in the Ohio Senate.
Sen. Gayle Manning,
R-North Ridgeville, hopes
the proposed Malnutrition
Prevention Commission will
raise awareness of the issue
and develop strategies for
combating it.
“Malnutrition among
older adults results in more
medical problems, longer
stays in hospitals, and an
inability to successfully
recuperate after an initial
incident,” Manning told the
Senate’s Health and Human
Services Committee, where
SB 245 had its first hearing
Wednesday.
The legislation would call
for a new, eight-person commission to submit a report
within a year of its creation.

that arson amounts to a “fire

Campbell’s tests, commissioned through the Mahoning County District Board
of Health, sampled water
from Campbell Elementary School, Campbell High

Apartments, along with 16
other sites.
The city chose the 16 other
sites because they have service lines with lead piping
or lead solder, according to a
news release.
All 20 tests came back with

minutes, the lead reading
was only 3.5 ppb.
The federal allowable limit
is 15 ppb.
Initial draws from faucets
that had been unused for six
hours registered 303 ppb of
lead at 107 E. Ohio Ave., 178
ppb at 435 Hillsdale Ave. and
40.6 at 456 W. Ohio Ave.
All of those locations registered below 2 ppb of lead in
samples drawn Friday and
Sunday after letting the water run for 5 minutes.
“Lead levels can be drastically reduced by letting the
water run,” Giroux said.
“These follow-up tests
conf irm t hat t he water

on the tap for several minutes dramatically reduces
the lead content in the water,
the Ohio EPA said in a news
release.
Carol Rimedio-Righetti,
chairwoman of the Mahoning County commissioners,
said Wednesday that, if she
were a Sebring water system
customer, she would run her
tap water five minutes before drinking it.
She said she realizes that
a running tap normally dispenses two gallons per minute for a total of 10 gallons in
five minutes.
“That’s a safety precaution
for the residents to do that,”
she said.
“I’d do that for the time being until somebody comes

$325,500 was collected with
the city getting $211,575, or
65 percent of the amount
paid. Optotraffic kept 35 percent, or $113,425 last year.
The number of civil citations just last month is considerably more than 279
speeding tickets issued last
year by the city police department.
Using the cameras allows
officers to catch more speeders than if police had to stop
and ticket those exceeding
the speed limit, Ross said.
“Officers are still making stops, but just for other
things,” Ross said. “Speed
is being handled more efficiently by camera enforcement, and it frees the officers
to handle other issues.”
Officers have more time
to stop motorists for violations including operating a
vehicle while intoxicated,
driving under suspension,
going through red lights and
stop signs and equipment
violations, he said.
Those cited with the speed
cameras pay a civil penalty
of $100 for driving up to 12
mph over the speed limit,
$125 for 14 to 19 mph over
the limit, and $150 for those
driving at least 20 mph over
the limit.
Citations are given only
to motorists caught by the
cameras, held by police officers, going at least 12 mph
over the limit on highways,
except in construction zones
where it drops to at least 10
mph over the limit. In school
zones, citations are issued to
those going at least 10 mph
over the limit.
The focus of the program
is Interstate 680 between
South Avenue and Meridian
Road, where the speed limit
is 50 mph.
Since the cameras started
being used, the city “hasn’t
had a serious injury or a fatal

threshold for lead in drinking water is 15 parts per billion.
A city news release acknowledges Campbell has
an “aging water distribution
system,” but states the city
uses anti-corrosive chemicals to prevent older pipes
from leaching lead into water.
Girard commissioned its
tests for both lead and copper through Cardinal Environmental Laboratories. The
tests sampled water from
Girard Elementary School,
Girard Intermediate School
and Girard High School.
All three lead tests came
back as too low to be detected, meaning they were less
than five parts per billion.
One copper test registered as below the detectable threshold of 10 parts
per billion. The other two
came back as 13.8 and 209
parts per billion. Copper levels less than 1,300 parts per
billion are safe for drinking
water, according to federal
standards.
“We passed with f lying

the tests.

five minutes as a safety measure.
The Mahoning River headwaters, which constitute the
village water source, and
the village’s water treatment
plant show no detectable
levels of lead, but the state
and federal EPAs and village
officials are working to finetune the water chemistry to
reduce leaching of lead into
the water from certain homeowners’ pipes, OEPA said.

Donors of a case of water
or $5 in cash will get a single

Phantom’s home game for

The cash will be used to

Sebring water system customers.
“This is a very difficult
time if you don’t have good
drinking water, so we wanted
to play a small part in helping the Sebring community,”
said Aafke Loney, Phantoms
co-owner.
The village plans to add
orthophosphate to its watertreatment process to stabilize the water’s pH, “and
then conduct a slow purge
of water in the distribution
system to mitigate further
possible lead issues,” with
notification to water customers when this occurs, Giroux
said.
“Best estimates at this
point to normalize the water
in the system is three weeks
to 30 days,” Giroux told council members.

mary on Tuesday, an exuberant Kasich launched a
four-day blitz of South Carolina, a conservative state
which presents him with a
far greater challenge than
New Hampshire, where his
relatively moderate message resonated with independent voters.
Functioning on just a
couple of hours of sleep after a late-night flight from
New Hampshire to South
Carolina, Kasich was greeted by both a crowd of 150
people in a pizza restaurant near Charleston and
a biting attack from Bush,
who needs a strong performance in South Carolina if
he hopes to win the Republican presidential nomination.
In an appearance in suburban Charleston, Bush
launched a direct attack
against Kasich’s controversial decision to accept hundreds of millions of federal
dollars to expand Medicaid
coverage for low-income
people. That money was
made available through
the 2010 health law championed by President Barack Obama and sharply
opposed by many conservatives.
Bush said under the law
“we’re not reforming Medicaid, we’re only expanding it. We’re going to make

scary, but Adeline said the

“expanding your friend
zone and learning more

That’s the effect Poland
school counselors hoped
the program would have.
“Social isolation is such
an epidemic,” said school
counselor Mary Jo Lukach, adding that social
media amplifies the issue.
“Sometimes kids can be in
a group of friends and feel
alone.
“It’s so easy to feel isolated if you have any kind
of social media. It’s important for them to feel like
they belong, like they’re
welcome.”
and the fact that most of it
is being funded by Washington, not the state, is not
relevant here. It’s still government. Someone has to
pay for it.
“Compare that to Gov.
Kasich, where he led the
charge to expand Medicaid and is quite proud of it,”
Bush said. “I wouldn’t be
proud of that, to be honest
with you.”
Kasich did not directly
respond to Bush’s attack,
but he signaled he would
vigorously defend his record. Referring to the fact
that he grew up in the
scrappy western Pennsylvania town of McKees
Rocks, Kasich said, “You
don’t come into McKees
Rocks and mess with us.
Don’t mess with me.
“So I’m not going to be a
pincushion or a marshmallow, but I’m also not going
to spend my time trying to
trash other people,” Kasich
told the crowd at the pizza
restaurant.
As he was in New Hampshire, Kasich faces the likelihood he will be outspent
in South Carolina. So far,
the super-PAC supporting
Kasich has only booked
$140,000 in television commercials in South Carolina,
although the organization
almost certainly will spend
more money than that on
advertising.
By contrast, the superPAC back ing Bush has
booked $1.9 million in TV
commercials between now
and the Feb. 20 primary.

Man sentenced, must pay restitution
By PETER H. MILLIKEN
[email protected]
CLEVELAND
A defendant who pleaded guilty to conspiracy to
commit extortion, obstruct
justice and commit wire
fraud has been sentenced
to a year and a day in federal prison.
Chief U.S. District Judge
Solomon Oliver Jr. imposed
the sentence Wednesday on
Mohd Rawhneh, a 56-yearold convenience-store owner,
who was a key figure in the
criminal case of Youngstown
law partners Neal Atway and
Scott Cochran.
After prison, Rawhneh will
be on three years of supervised release.
He also must make restitution for $246,643 he failed
to pay in sales tax to the
state.
Last month, Judge Oliver sentenced Atway, 49,
to three years’ probation,
with the first four months
of it under electronically
monitored house arrest,
and fined him $2,000, after
Atway pleaded guilty to one
count of conspiracy against
rights.
Judge Oliver sentenced
Cochran, 45, to two years’
probation and fined him
$2,500, after Cochran pleaded guilty to misbehavior in
the presence of the court.
The lawyers pleaded guilty
to their respective charges
that were contained in an
information filed by the U.S.
Attorney after their monthlong jury trial last year on
extortion and obstructionof-justice charges resulted in
a mistrial.
The conspiracy to commit extortion and obstruct
justice charges Rawhneh
pleaded guilty to pertain to
his purported conspiracy
with Atway and Cochran,
and the conspiracy to commit wire fraud charge Rawhneh pleaded guilty to pertains to his nonpayment to
the state of sales taxes from
his stores.
In the information pertaining to the lawyers, Atway was charged with abusing his power, authority
and influence as a criminal
defense lawyer for Charles
Muth, another conveniencestore owner, to deprive Muth
of money and property to
benefit Rawhneh.
Cochran was charged
with failing to provide completely truthful testimony
during the trial concerning
conversations among Atway,
Cochran and Muth.
Muth was having a business dispute with Rawhneh.
The U.S. Attorney alleged
that Atway led Muth to believe that, unless Rawhneh got money and property from Muth and Muth’s
stores, Rawhneh would appear at Muth’s sentencings
and tell the judges facts that
could result in harsher punishment for Muth.
In a federal case, Muth
got five months in prison for
growing marijuana in his
home.
In a state case, Muth got

18 months in prison on
charges of ethnic intimidation and aggravated assault for his role in a Dec.
28, 2011, shooting at the
Boardman home of Rawhneh’s ex-wife, in which nobody was hurt.
In a sentencing memorandum, Rawhneh’s lawyer,
Frank J. Cimino of Ravenna,
cited Rawhneh’s lack of any
prior criminal convictions
and his family and community ties and called for
Rawhneh to be sentenced to
probation.

as if he were hiding something when he got out, reports said.
Officers found two large
bags of suspected marijuana
in the car and the barrel end
of a loaded .40-caliber semiautomatic pistol sticking out
from the seat, reports said.
There also were two smaller
bags of suspected marijuana
in the car along with a bag
of suspected cocaine, a bag
of suspected crack cocaine
and 15 pills.
Reports said Stanley told
police the gun was not his.
He was taken to the Mahoning County jail where corrections officers found he had
$675 when he was booked
into the jail, to go along with
an additional $21 officers
found in the car Stanley was

The gun taken by police

ARSON
Continued from A3
William O’Neill said during
oral arguments Wednesday.
“We’re deciding the English
language, it appears to me.”
The case focuses on a single-family home on Yellow
Creek Drive in Poland. The
property was purchased in
2010, with stipulations that
required insurance include
coverage of fire damages.
In 2013, the homeowner
defaulted on his mortgage
payments, and Wells Fargo
initiated foreclosure proceedings. The property was
vacant, from “at least October” of that year, according
to documents.
A fire, “deliberately started
... the result of arson,” damaged the property the following February.
Wells Fargo sought coverage for the damages. Allstate
denied the claim, saying arson amounted to “vandalism
or malicious mischief” on a
property that had been “vacant for more than 30 consecutive days.” As such, the
policy excluded coverage.
Wells Fargo f iled suit
in federal court last year.
That court sent the case to
the Ohio Supreme Court,
seeking a state decision on
whether arson amounted to
“malicious mischief or vandalism.”
“Millions of Ohioans have
homeow ners insura nce
policies,” U.S. District Judge
He asked students to be
careful in their lives by
“leaving early, wearing seat
belts, not texting and paying
attention.”
Father Popovich shared
that other patients he met
while hospitalized demonstrated incredible “patience
and perseverance.” He admires that example and tries
to follow it.
“Leave yourself open to
a relationship with Christ,”
the priest said. “But you
also need a support system
of family and friends.” He
noted that has been invaluable in his life.
“Have a blessed day” was
the parting comment one
patient who was being discharged once told the priest.
He asked the Mass participants to wish one another a
“blessed day.”
Father Murphy added that
“Jesus offers comfort and
God stands with us” whether our lives are “steady” or “a
wild ride.”
After the Mass, four UHS
students reflected on Father
Popovich’s presence.
Junior Kali Kerpelis, 17:
“Live for today, and keep a
positive outlook. We should
be grateful in our lives and
give back.”
Frank Sobnosky, 17-yearold junior: “His words made
me appreciate what I have
and what I can do. You never
know what will happen in
life ... so appreciate the time
you have and take advantage of it.”
Marie Bond, 16-year-old
junior: “It’s important to
trust in God. Father Popovich shows that because he
has the strength to continue
his ministry.”
Junior Aaron Coates, 17:
“He’s inspiring. He continues living his ministry. He’s
using his situation to teach.”

the first of his five convictions on drug charges dating
back to 2010. Court records
from common pleas court
show in all three cases Stanley pleaded guilty, was sentenced to probation, violated
his probation each time and
was then sent to prison.
In 2010, Stanley pleaded
guilty to charges of trafficking in marijuana and possession of heroin and was sentenced to three years’ probation. However, he violated
his probation and was sentenced to a year in prison.
guilty to charges of possession of heroin and possession of dangerous drugs and
he was sentenced to two

he violated his probation and

guilty to aggravated possession of drugs and was sentenced to probation. Once
again, however, he violated
that probation and was ordered to serve 10 months in
prison.
Benita Pearson wrote in her
order of certification to the
Ohio Supreme Court. “Even
if less than 1 percent of these
homeowners file arson-related insurance claims, the
interpretation of this question could potentially affect
tens of thousands of properties.
“Rather than speculate as
to whether arson is considered vandalism or malicious
mischief, the best course
is to provide the Supreme
Court of Ohio with the opportunity to decide this issue and create precedence
in the state of Ohio,” Judge
Pearson wrote.
Margo Meola, legal counsel for Allstate, said other
states and courts have made
decisions in similar cases,
but not Ohio.
She said the policy in question did not include definitions for vandalism, arson,
malicious mischief or fire.
“It is Allstate’s position, of
course ... that when that occurs, there is no definition,
you use the common ordinary definition of the language used,” Meola said.
Philip Sineneng, legal
counsel for Wells Fargo, said,
“The homeowners’ insurance policies of Ohio’s residents are at jeopardy if we
were to permit Allstate to
throw decades of contract
principles out the window in
favor of unilaterally reading
exclusions into homeowner
policies.”

2 face child-endangering charges

STRUTHERS
Two people were a rraigned on child-endangering charges in Struthers Municipal Court for
the purported abuse of a
5-year-old girl.
Lisa Marenkovic, 27, and
Bill Geidner, 27, both of
Struthers, also each face a
charge of obstructing justice. Geidner also is charged
with violating the terms of
his parole.
They are in the Mahoning County jail on bonds exceeding $100,000, according
to 21 WFMJ-TV, The Vindi-
cator’s broadcast partner.
Markenkovic, the child’s
mot her, a nd G eid ner,
Marenkovic’s boyfriend,
were booked into the jail
after police searched their
Fourth Street home on a
warrant Monday.
School officials raised
concerns about bruises on
the girl’s body, a police report states, and about the
fact the girl hadn’t attended
school since Jan. 22.
The girl had returned
to living with Marenkovic
after living with her maternal grandmother due to
Marenkovic’s drug addiction, a police report states.
The grandmother has
since died, according to police.

said, adding there were
“deplorable conditions”
in the home and that it is
unsafe.
Mahoning County Children Ser v ices obtained
custody of the child on an
emergency basis after the
arrests Monday.
21 WFMJ-TV reported the
girl is hospitalized and receiving treatment for vari-
ous injuries.
Geidner had been arrested several times previously,
according to online court
records, on charges including domestic violence, drug
abuse and theft.
C ou r t r e c ord s s how
Marenkovic was sentenced
through Youngstown Municipal Court in 2007 for
a misdemeanor charge of
possession of drug-abuse
instruments.
She also was sentenced in
2009 through the Mahoning County Common Pleas
Court on a misdemeanor
charge for misuse of a credit
card in Austintown.
Bill OK’d to defund Planned Parenthood
By MARC KOVAC
[email protected]
COLUMBUS
The Ohio House gave final approval Wednesday to
legislation blocking public
funding of Planned Parenthood, over objections from
Democrats and women’s
health advocates.
The final vote was 59-32,
with HB 294 heading to Gov.
John Kasich’s desk for his
expected signature and enactment. Protesters in the
House chambers subsequently shouted “Shame!”
before being escorted out.
Kasich will sign the bill.
His spokesman, Joe Andrews, said in a released
statement the “bill further
reinforces Ohio’s policies.”
He added, “Since taking office, Gov. Kasich has
worked w ith legislative
leaders to ensure that public dollars are used to their
best purpose. The Ohio Department of Health already
had stopped awarding state
dollars to Planned Parenthood, and they were kicked
to the back of the line for the

rector. The renovation also
will allow the Central Y to
expand its selection of fitness classes and youth programs, he said.
“Now, families will be
able to bring their kids of
any age and feel like there’s
a lot more to do,” he said.
“[The Central YMCA] is a
gem, and we need to keep
it strong and vibrant. That’s
the driving force behind
this renovation.”
Thomas
Gasce,
Youngstown YMCA board
of trustees chairman, said
the vision for the renovated
federal government’s family-planning grants that the
department administers.”
U.S. Rep. Tim Ryan of
Howla nd, D-13t h, condemned the Republicandominated House for its
action.
“This is not funding that
would go to administering
abortions,” Ryan said in
a news release. “Current
state and federal law already bars taxpayer dollars
from going to those services. Instead, these lawmakers are defunding muchneeded infant-mortality
prevention for expectant
mothers, women’s health
exa ms, a nd life-sav ing
cancer screenings – just to
name a few.”
The legislation requires
the ODH to ensure public
funds are being used for
their intended purpose –
the legislation lists breast
and cervical cancer, HIV/
AIDS initiatives and other
specific programs – and not
for abortions.
Funds from the specified
programs will be blocked
for groups that perform
abortions or have contracts
or are affiliated with providers of such services.
Planned Parenthood received more than $1 million
in public funding through
the state health department
in 2014.
Senators last month also
added an amendment to
the legislation earmarking
$250,000 for efforts by the
Ohio Association of Community Health Centers on
smoking cessation, safe
sleep and other initiatives
aimed at combatting infant
mortality.
HB 294 was introduced
after video recordings released last year showed
Planned Parenthood employees purportedly discussing the sale of body
parts from aborted fetuses.
Opponents of the legislation said the video recordings were heavily edited and
that Planned Parenthood
did not sell or otherwise illegally transfer fetal tissue.
The individuals behind
the recordings were indict-
facility first began to take
shape about four years ago.
At that time, YMCA leaders
identified the project and
expansion into western Mahoning County as priorities.
The YMCA is working to
raise money for an Austintown facility.
The Youngstown YMCA
also operates the Davis Family YMCA in Boardman.
Vindicator archives also
show the YMCA ran a location on West Federal Street
11⁄2 miles from the Central
Y for 43 years for members
of the black community,
as they were not permitted
to use the central location.
That location remained in
use until 1974. The building now houses the Rescue
Mission of the Mahoning
Valley.
Youngstown State University President Jim Tressel
and Mayor John A. McNally,
who spoke at the news event,
emphasized the connection
between the YMCA’s renovation and ongoing revival
efforts downtown and on
the university campus.
The facility will remain
open during construction,
which is expected to last
about 10 months and will be
done in phases. There will
be occasional class changes
and building-access restrictions, officials said.
ed in Texas on a charge of
tampering with a government record and another
related to buying human
tissue.
Proponents of the legislation said HB 294 will not cut
funds for women’s health
programs – money would
be directed to health care
centers that do not perform
non-therapeutic abortions.
Rep. Barbara Sears, RToledo, called the legislation “the largest singular
bill that will help women’s
health issues that we’ll do in
this general assembly. This
bill allows us to provide
additional access to women when it comes to their
health care to over 250 additional facilities that they
have the ability to use and
to access for their health
care needs.”
Opponents countered
there are not sufficient locations around the state
providing contraception
and other health care services currently offered by
Planned Parenthood.

BOARDMAN - Margery Stackhouse Johnson, 94, passed away
early Wednesday morning, Feb. 10,
2016.
Margery Elinor Schwartz, a
daughter of Paul Schwartz and Alta Albright Schwartz, was born
Dec. 16, 1921, in Brownlee Woods in
Youngstown. She moved with her
family to North Lima at the age of
3 and spent her life there before
moving to Boardman in 2002.
Margery worked as a secretary
for the North Lima schools before
marrying Earnest L. “Bud” Stackhouse in June of 1943. Together,
Margery and her husband raised
four sons on their farm, Stackhouse Gardens, on Sharrot Road
in North Lima. Margery returned
to the workplace in 1970 and retired from Benefit Trust Life Insurance Company in 1986. At the age
of 6, Margery began taking piano
lessons and by the age of 10 was
playing the pump organ for the
Children’s Mission Band during the
church hour.
She was a member of the Mt.
Olivet Church most of her life,
where she was active in the music
program playing piano and organ
for 84 years at church services.
Through the years, Margery also
substituted at various churches.
Her last church was John Calvin
St. Paul UCC, from which she retired in 2007 after 27 years as
choir director and organist. John
Calvin St. Paul UCC merged to become the Heritage Presbyterian
Church in 2007, and Margery remained a member there until recently returning to the Mt. Olivet
Church in North Lima. In addition
to music, Margery enjoyed crafts,
sewing, cooking and baking.
In 1973, her husband, Earnest
“Bud” Stackhouse, of nearly 30
years passed away. In February of
1978, Margery married James
Johnson (Johnson Appliance
Sales and Service of East Palestine), who later passed away in
2001.
Most notably, Margery spent
her life caring for others. When
her mother passed away, leaving
her two youngest children, Melvin,
age 13 and Robert, age 12, a 21year-old Margery and her husband, Earnest “Bud,” stepped in
and helped raise them to adulthood. After raising her own four
sons, Margery and her second
husband then helped to lovingly
raise two grandsons, Philip and
Victor.
Margery was preceded in death
by her brothers, Dr. Donald E.
Schwartz and Robert P. Schwartz.

SKALA SIKAMINEAS,
GREECE
Kasich gets a major boost
to his presidential desires
W
ITH HIS STRONG SECONDplace finish in Tuesday’s New
Hampshire Republican presidential primary, Ohio Gov. John Kasich
showed that his brand of campaigning, based on a thoughtful discussion
of the issues, still has a place in American politics.
But more than that, the outcome of
the first-in-the-nation primary gave
Kasich’s bid for the GOP nomination the
boost it urgently needed to keep going.
After his very poor showing in the
Iowa caucuses – granted, he barely campaigned in that state – New Hampshire
had become a make-or-break proposition for him.
As a column on this page in Tuesday’s
Vindicator suggested, Kasich was ready
to pack his bags and return to Columbus if he failed to make a strong showing.
“If I get smoked here, I’m going (back)
to Ohio,” Kasich was quoted as saying
in the piece by national syndicated columnist Carl Leubsdorf.
Well, the governor isn’t returning to
the Buckeye State; he’s already in South
Carolina, where he will continue to
present himself to Republican voters as
the necessary alternative to frontrunner Donald Trump.
Trump, the billionaire businessman
from New York, swept Tuesday’s primary with 35 percent of the vote. Kasich
received 16 percent, while Texas Sen.
Ted Cruz garnered 12 percent. Cruz
won the Iowa caucuses.
As different as the New Hampshire
race was from the Iowa contest, the
South Carolina primary on Feb. 20 has
its own political undercurrents.
To be sure, Kasich’s strong showing
will result in contributions flowing into
his campaign coffers, and will give him
a certain amount of name recognition
in South Carolina.
CONNECT WITH PEOPLE
Indeed, the governor distanced himself from the bluster and bombastic
rhetoric that has defined the Trump
and Cruz campaigns when he spoke
Tuesday night about the need for the
American people to slow down and
connect with family, friends, neighbors
and even strangers.
“It takes our hearts to change America,” Kasich said during his nationally
televised speech to his supporters. The
appeal to our better selves is designed
to connect with the Republican voters
in South Carolina who tend to be more
conservative than the voters in New
Hampshire.
“We never went negative because we
have more good to sell than to spend
our time being critical of somebody
else,” Kasich said. He vowed “to reshine
America, to restore the spirit of America
and to leave no one behind.”
This centrist appeal, compared
with the extreme views espoused by
Trump, Cruz and Florida Sen. Marco
Rubio, may be a tough sell in the South.
Indeed, Kasich’s biggest challenge today
is to prove to Republicans voters in the
South that he is a conservative – even
though he has forged centrist positions
on immigration and the expansion of
Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act
(Obamacare).
Immigration has become a political
lightning rod on the campaign trail,
thanks to the TV sound-bite position
expressed by Trump.
The billionaire has said repeatedly that if elected president he would
deport the 11 million illegal aliens
now living in the United States. When
pressed for details of how this would be
accomplished logistically, Trump has
simply said that as a successful businessman he knows how to get things
done.
His supporters, who have been swept
up by his take-no-prisoners style of politics, are glad to let him get away with
one-liners that grab the press’ attention. Not being a traditional candidate –
he is self-funding his campaign – seems
to be a selling point for a goodly number
of Republican voters.
But as we and other newspapers have
pointed out in editorials, the U.S. and
the world are plagued by serious problems that demand serious solutions.
Kasich, who served in Congress and
was the architect of a balanced budget,
is running on his experience in government and the private sector. He also
drives home the point that bipartisanship is necessary in Washington in
order to get things done.
That may not be a winning message
in South Carolina or the other Southern
states that will have their primaries on
March 1, but it needs to be said.
As we suggested in an editorial Sunday, it’s time that GOP voters listened to
Kasich.
Use DDT in fight against Zika
By JAY AMBROSE
Tribune News Service
Warrior greenies, get out of
the way. You’ve done enormous
hurt in this world, you appear
prepared to keep it up and
it’s time to allow people their
health, their lives and a chance
to fight back more effectively
against mosquitoes that have
been having at us from ancient
times to right this minute.
Those insects are presently
doing their egregious harm in
a new, emphatic way in Brazil
and more than 20 other Latin
American countries and territories. They are biting people and
infecting them with a pathogen
called Zika. The virus has been
around for decades but for the
first time is believed to be causing a birth defect shrinking the
skulls and damaging the brains
of babies. It may also cause a
s y nd rome t hat pa ra ly z es
people, and it has even sneaked
into the United States. The reported estimate is that 4 million people could be hit with
Zika by the time we get to 2017.
Time to use DDT maybe?
Absolutely. As the scientist Robert
Zubrin has noted, here is a
pesticide that was used during
World War II and later to kill
mosquitoes a nd w ipe out
malaria and other diseases
in the United States, Europe,
Latin America and Asia, saving hundreds of millions of
lives. Mosquitoes, fighting
back, managed to develop
resistance to it in some areas, but
then something more dramatic
happened, giving them an
enormous break.
Rachel Carson happened.
Her factually challenged book,
“Silent Spring,” happened. The
book said DDT, then being
widely sprayed to protect crops,
would kill off birds, fish and
other wildlife and that some
spring morning you’d wake up
without hearing a single tweet
but maybe having been cursed
with cancer.
That was in 1962. By 1971,
Zubrin observes in a National
Review article, we had the Environmental Protection Agency,
a seven-month investigation
and a judge ruling that DDT
would not commit the alleged
harms. It didn’t matter. The EPA
banned its use anyway, and
a not her a genc y s a id w e
wouldn’t fund foreign projects
that used DDT. Other Western
countries jumped in with one
kind of ban or the other, and
it became harder and harder
for malaria-plagued African
countries to get the pesticide as
some African scientists signed
on in thinking its threats outweighed its benefits.
AFRICAN CHILDREN
The cost, some contend, has
not been just a few lives, but
millions upon millions of lives,
mostly African children, even
though the spraying would be
slight and inside homes and
present no wildlife dangers.
For empirical evidence, consider South Africa. It banned
DDT in 1996 and within a matter of years malarial cases had
increased by thousands, causing 460 deaths in the year 2000.
It reintroduced DDT and had
brought malarial deaths down
to 94 by 2014.
It’s true that some other
heedful countries have had less
success with DDT, sometimes
because of inadequate funding, and have had good success with other techniques. It’s
true, too, that more potential ill
effects of DDT have been noted,
although there is still not the
slightest hint of anything anywhere comparable to what
malaria does. What’s clear is
that DDT is now needed in
South America. As noted in
The New York Times, one person who favors such weaponry
against Zika is Dr. Lyle Petersen,
not exactly someone in the uninformed sector of the population. He is the director of vector-borne diseases at the U.S.
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention.
The people who have so
fiercely objected to DDT are
radical environmentalists who
too often push the movement
in awry directions and are now
doing that on another issue.
Some activists are reported by
Reason Magazine to be protesting
a Key West, Fla., ex per iment in which the offspring of
genetically modified male
mosquitoes are born dead. Brazil is pushing ahead with a program that’s succeeding, and
meanwhile there’s another GMO
program that might produce
mosquitoes that no longer transport diseases in the first place.
Thank heavens for environmentalism – it has done enormous good – but also for the
people who fight back against
its extremists.

Republicans show their true colors
By JIM HIGHTOWER
OtherWords
Imagine the outcry by tea
party Republicans if state legislators were passing laws banning the use of video cameras
in banks to capture images of
robbers.
Yet t hose ver y sa me tea
partiers have been passing laws
in various states to ban the
r e c o r d i ng of i n hu m a ne,
immoral, and disgusting abuses
of turkeys, hogs, and other
animals by giant factory farm
operators like Tyson.
The only reason the public
knows about chickens being
stomped to death and pregnant
sows being driven insa ne
because they’re caged so tightly
they can’t even turn around is
that courageous whistleblowers
have secretly recorded videos
of the intolerable violence inside these animal concentration camps.
In response to the exposés,
however, eight states run by
shameless, corporate-hugging
Republicans have rushed to
protect the worst abusers, making it illegal to release such videos to the media or the public.
North Carolina’s corrupt
legislature, for example, has
decreed that videographers
who cause bad publicity for
corporate animal torturers can
be sued by the corporation and
fined $5,000 for each day abuses are recorded. To add to the
Kafkaesque absurdity of this
“ag gag law,” the state legislature’s corporate servants mandated that releasing videos of
abuses in nursing home chains,
day care centers, and veterans’
facilities is now also banned.
In their eagerness to please
corporate lobbyists and get
campaign donations from these
abusive profiteers, tea party
Republicans across the country
are stomping on our constitutional rights to free speech and
freedom of the press, just as
callously as the animal abusers
stomp chickens to death.

QUOTE OF THE DAY
“If you think about it, this is
the biggest case in the history

And that’s what draws us to
this is to get these people their
answers.”

investigator who once led

Flint’s water crisis.
SCRIPTURES
Standing in the harbor
of this Greek village on the
island of Lesbos, I am holding yet another soaking
wet little girl with blue lips.
Minutes before she had been
sinking in the deadly Aegean
sea crossing from Turkey to
Greece. Her parents had fled
Syria with only a cellphone
and cash after their house
had been bombed and The
Islamic State had shot three
generations of their relatives
in cold blood.
My heart swells as I spot
tiny specks of orange lifejackets bobbing like oranges in a
low-riding boat. The rescue
whistles blow, and volunteers from all nations jump
into action. The refugees
are closer now, and 50 feet
from shore the screams of
terror begin as two panicked
refugees jump out, setting
off a crushing stampede
as children and babies are
catapulted from the boat
into the dark sea.
Most Syrians don’t swim.
I catch sight of a small
body in a puffy pink jacket
floating away and I plunge
into the water to reach her
in borrowed time. I struggle to plant my feet on the
slippery rocks below as the
weight of her lifejacket and
wet clothes strain my lazy
muscles to work even harder.
By the shore, volunteers
call for stretchers in five
different languages, but I
am focused on one child’s
heartbeat. Finding no pulse,
I fumble at her clothes, free
the airway and pump her
tiny chest looking for life.
After two cycles of CPR,
water sputters from her
mouth and I turn her over to
allow the sea to escape. She
is not in good condition, but
she is alive. Children and
babies are quickly being
passed, volunteer to volunteer, to the safety of shore,
and we smile and hug the
families who were almost
swallowed by the sea.
RAPE VICTIMS
Back on the shore, I reach
for a bottle of bubbles to
help calm another restless
baby and eye the two teenage girls who have been
raped by The Islamic State.
They remain silent, and
their dark lashes spy my
every move. With new eyes,
I scope the refugee journey of heading toward the
“promised land,” but finding only paper towns. In
Lesbos, I have seen the face
of all our gods, where humans
embrace and pain is absorbed
into a love without borders.
After five months of volunteering in Lesbos, my
brain can’t solve the larger
problems of a world where
leaders are also struggling
to find answers. I do know
that I can help these suffering humans, but I am not
naive enough to think that a
terrorist couldn’t get through
any border or inspire people
across many nations.
Syria’s civil war is the
worst humanitarian crisis of
our time. Half the country’s
pre-war population – more
than 11 million people –
have been killed or forced to
flee their homes. Last year,
more than 800,000 Syrians
a r r ived by sea a nd i n
them I have met beautiful,
educated families who are
just like us.
When did we become so
fearful? The Sept. 11 attacks
taught me not to live in fear
or give in to terrorism. If the
world turns its back on the
refugees, they will be forced
to return to Syria and then
The Islamic State wins.
Where has all the love
gone in the world? We are
not being asked to go shave
our heads a nd become
monks, but to imagine a
world where everyone does
their part, so that the karma
banks will overf low with
blue-chip stocks of compassion and we all become
“billionaires on the inside.”
It’s easy to be in the wrong
place at the wrong time, but
now humanity asks us to
transform fear into love. To
be in the wrong place at the
right time.
Alison Thompson is a paramedic and the
founder of Third Wave Volunteers working
with Syrian refugees on the Greek island
of Lesbos. She is the author of “The Third
Wave” and lives in Coconut Grove, Fla. She
wrote this for the Miami Herald.
So teach us to number our days that we
may gain a heart of wisdom.

AG: Trumbull official
has conflict of interest
Staff report
WARREN
Ken Kubala, safety and
compliance manager for the
Trumbull County Engineer’s
Office, has a conflict of interest by serving as a member of the county elections
board while his boss, county
Engineer Randy Smith, is on
the March 15 primary ballot
for re-election.
The Ohio Attorney General’s Office issued that opinion Tuesday after the county
prosecutor’s office asked for
the opinion Dec. 17.
The decision says it doesn’t
matter that Smith, a Democrat, is unopposed in the primary election.
Elections board members
must make a number of decisions “that directly affect a
county engineer’s candidacy
and election,” the opinion
says.
The decision doesn’t say
whether some action will
need to be taken to eliminate the conflict of interest.
But the county Democratic
Party executive committee
meets today to determine
whether Kubala will remain in the elections board
seat when his current term
expires at the end of this
month.
On Tuesday, the county
Republican Party’s executive committee met and reappointed Ron Knight to the
board. His term will be for
three years.

Clarett
admits
to DUI
Georgio Poullas is wrestling with success
Associated Press
MOUNT GILEAD
Former Ohio State star
running back Maurice Clarett has admitted driving under the influence.
He pleaded
guilty under
a deal with
prosecutors
and received
a suspended
60-day ja i l
sentence
Monday.
Court records show all but
three days were suspended.
Clarett must serve two years
of probation and undergo
a driver intervention program. His driver’s license
was suspended for 180 days.
Clarett’s attorney didn’t immediately return a call seeking comment Wednesday.
Clarett — a Youngstown
native — was traveling on
Interstate 71 in Morrow
County on Jan 3 when a fellow motorist reported him
driving erratically.
Clarett was released from
probation last February after
a 2006 conviction on robbery
and gun charges.
He rushed for a team
freshman record 1,237 yards
and scored 18 touchdowns
to help OSU to a 14-0 record
and the 2002 BCS Championship.
Clarett began his high
school career at Austintown
Fitch as a freshman before transferring to Warren
Harding for his final three
prep seasons.
Clarett was Ohio’s Mr.
Football and USA Today’s
National Offensive Player
of the Year as a senior with
the Raiders and once rushed
for 406 yards in a Division
I playoff victory over Lakewood St. Edward.

Browns linebacker Armonty Bryant has been indicted on two felony drug
charges.
Bryant and
former teammate De’Ante
Saunders
were arrested on Christmas following a traffic
Bryant
stop. Police
say they found marijuana,
prescription drugs and a
loaded handgun in Saunders’ car. He also was cited
for drunken driving. The
Browns released him from
their practice squad.
Bryant was suspended by
former general manager Ray
Farmer for Cleveland’s final
two games. The 25-year-old remains on the Browns’ roster.
Both men are scheduled
to be arraigned in Cuyahoga County Common Pleas
Court on Feb 24. Online
court records listed no attorney for either.
Bryant was selected by
the Browns in the seventh
round of the 2013 draft. He
had legal issues in college
at East Central Oklahoma,
where he was twice arrested
for selling marijuana to an

NBA says no to fouling
inbound passers
NEW YORK
NBA teams need to keep Hacka-Shaq on the court, not the
sideline.
The league sent a memo to
teams and referees Tuesday clarifying that intentionally fouling a
player inbounding the ball will be
a delay of game violation — and
possibly a technical foul.
The memo, sent from league
executives Kiki Vandeweghe and
Mike Bantom and obtained by
The Associated Press, comes in
response to questions after San
Antonio’s Danny Green fouled
Houston’s Clint Capela as Capela
was attempting to inbound the
ball in a Jan. 28 game.
Citing a specific rule in the
rulebook, the memo says that if
a defender crosses the sideline
before the ball has been thrown,
a delay of game will be assessed.
If it comes in the last 2 minutes of
the fourth quarter or overtime, a
technical foul will be called.

Alabama 63,
No. 15 Texas A&M 62
TUSCALOOSA, ALA.
Retin Obasohan scored 16 points
and Alabama held off a big rally
from No. 15 Texas A&M. The Crimson Tide (14-9, 5-6 Southeastern
Conference) beat its fourth
ranked opponent of Avery Johnson’s debut season despite missing its final three shots. Anthony
Collins was fouled on a drive
with 2.3 seconds left but missed
both free throws for the Aggies
(18-6, 7-4). They’ve dropped four
consecutive SEC games since a
7-0 league start, tumbling from a
program-best No. 5 ranking. Riley
Norris had 11 points for Alabama.
Obasohan had five assists and
three steals. Jalen Jones scored
21 points for Texas A&M.
Tulsa 82, No. 16 SMU 77
DALLAS
Shaquille Harrison had 21 points,
Pat Birt hit a crucial 3-pointer
and scored 12 of his 17 points
after halftime and Tulsa rallied
from eight points down in the
second half to beat No. 16 SMU.
Nic Moore scored 27 to lead the
Mustangs (20-3, 9-3 American
Athletic). They lost for the first
time in 13 home games and
dropped to 2-3 since their 18-0
start to a season that won’t
include postseason play because
of NCAA sanctions. Moore twice
hit 3-pointers to pull SMU within
a point in the final minute, but
Birt answered the first with a 3
and James Woodard followed
the second with two of his six
free throws in the final 1:04. The
Golden Hurricane (16-8, 8-4)
ended a four-game losing streak
against SMU with their eighth win
in 10 games since an 0-2 conference start.
Marquette 96,
No. 20 Providence 91, 2OT
MILWAUKEE
Jajuan Johnson scored 16 points
and hit a key 3-pointer with 1:16
left in double overtime, and
Marquette outlasted Providence.
Henry Ellenson had 26 points
and 16 rebounds, and the Golden
Eagles (16-9, 5-7 Big East) overcame 42 points by Providence’s
Ben Bentil. The conference scoring leader hit a 3-pointer from the
corner off the glass to make it 9288 with 33 seconds left. Another
3 by Bentil from the wing got the
Friars (18-7, 6-6) within three with
16 seconds left.
No. 21 Baylor 82,
Kansas State 72
MANHATTAN, KAN.
Al Freeman scored 21 points,
Taurean Prince had 18 and Baylor
beat cold-shooting Kansas State
to remain a game back of the
leaders in the Big 12 race. Playing
without leading rebounder Rico
Gathers due to illness, the Bears
(18-6, 7-4) opened on an 8-2 run,
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Alabama guard Retin Obasohan (32) drives against Texas A&M
guard Jalen Jones (12) and center Tyler Davis (34) during the second half of their game Wednesday in Tuscaloosa, Ala. Obasohan
scored 16 points for the Crimson Tide, who defeated the No. 15
Aggies, 63-62.
led by as many as 14 in the first
half and never trailed the rest of
the way. The Wildcats (14-10, 3-8)
were 2 of 14 from beyond the arc,
getting their only 3-pointers from
Justin Edwards in the final minute. His first made it 72-65 with
58.3 seconds left, and his second
after two free throws by Baylor’s
Ishmail Wainwright made it 74-68
with 47.4 seconds to go. Edwards
finished with 19 points, while D.J.
Johnson had a career-high 19
points for the Wildcats.
WOMEN
No. 4 Baylor 81, TCU 75
FORT WORTH, TEXAS
Nina Davis scored 19 points, Niya
Johnson had 14 assists and No.
4 Baylor stretched its Big 12 winning streak to 11 games. Baylor
has won 20 consecutive games
in the series since 1990. The

25 points in the previous seven
games in the four seasons since
the Horned Frogs joined the Big
12, and 16 had been the closest.
Zahna Medley scored 16 of her 24
points in the fourth quarter when
the Horned Frogs (12-11, 4-8)
scored 37 points — just one less
than they had the previous three
quarters combined.

No. 20 Oklahoma State 55
AUSTIN, TEXAS

“Question of the day: Does anyone
find whining to be attractive?
Just curious.”
JIM HARBAUGH, Michigan
football coach, in a Tweet
purportedly about about
the SEC:
TRACK & FIELD
Penguins
come
up
empty
vs.
Lundqvist
Kenyans
allege
doping
bribery
Associated Press
EMBU, KENYA
Two Kenyan athletes
serving four-year bans for
doping at the 2015 world
championships say the
chief executive of Athletics
Kenya, the country’s governing body for track and
field, asked them each for
a $24,000 bribe to reduce
their suspensions.
Joy Sakari and Francisca Koki Manunga told
The Associated Press that
CEO Isaac Mwangi asked
for the payment in an Oct.
16 meeting, but that they
could not raise the money.
They were informed of
their four-year bans in a
Nov. 27 email, but never
filed a criminal complaint
because, they say, they had
no proof to back up their
bribery accusation and
also feared repercussions.
Mwangi dismissed the
allegation as “just a joke,”
denied ever meeting privately with the athletes
and said Athletics Kenya
has no power to shave time
off athletes’ bans.
“We have heard stories,
athletes coming and saying, ‘Oh, you know, I was
asked for money,”’ Mwangi said. “But can you really
substantiate that?”
Sakari, a 400-meter runner, and Manunga, a hurdler, told AP they would
be willing to testify to the
ethics commission of the
IAAF, the global governing
body of athletics.
The commission already
is investigating allegations
that AK officials sought to
subvert anti-doping in Kenya, solicited bribes and
offered athletes reduced
bans. The probe has led
to the suspensions of AK’s
president, Isaiah Kiplagat,
a vice president, David
Okeyo, and AK’s former
treasurer, Joseph Kinyua.
Sharad Rao, a former director of prosecutions in
Kenya who also has adjudicated cases for the Court of
Arbitration for Sport, is leading the ethics investigation
for the International Association of Athletics Federations. Sakari and Manunga’s
decision to come forward
could be a breakthrough,
because Kenyan athletes
have been unwilling to act
as whistleblowers.
“There is obviously the
reluctance on the part of
the athletes to come forward,” Rao said. “They
don’t want to stand out.”
As many as a half-dozen banned athletes have
privately indicated to the
IAAF commission that AK
officials sought to extort
them and that they feel
their sanctions might have
been less if they had paid
bribes, Rao said.
AP’s interview with Sakari and Manunga is the
first time Kenyan athletes
have detailed such allegations publicly.
“T hat i n for mat ion
would, of course, be very,
very significant, very important for us,” Rao said.
Rao said he has been
talking to at least one other
athlete who may have been
approached for a bribe, and
that his first priority was to
get responses from Kiplagat, Okeyo and Kinyua —
all three of whom have flatly denied to him that they
took or solicited bribes.
Acting on AP’s report, the
IAAF said Wednesday it has
passed Sakari and Manunga’s allegations to the ethics commission. The World
Anti-Doping Agency said it
is “most disturbed” by the
allegations that sound “eerily similar” to other recent
revelations of doping coverups in athletics, mostly focused on Russia, and said it
would seek more information to determine if it should
investigate.

Source: Vickers will replace Stewart at Daytona
Associated Press
DAYTONA BEACH, FLA.
Brian Vickers is expected
to replace injured driver
Tony Stewart for the NASCAR season opener at Daytona International Speedway, The Associated Press
has learned.
Stewart-Haas Racing has
scheduled a Friday news
conference to discuss its
plans for the No. 14 Chevrolet. A person familiar with
the situation told AP on
CAVALIERS
Continued from B1
Cleveland’s bench “it’s my
shoulder” before heading into
the tunnel and straight to the
locker room with medical personnel and general manager
David Griffin following him.
Love had his shoulder dislocated in the first round of last
season’s playoffs when Boston
center Kelly Olynyk yanked it
from the socket while battling
for a loose ball. The loss of Love
disrupted the Cavs’ title chase
and raised questions about
whether he would fully recover. The injury didn’t dissuade
the Cavs from signing him to a
maximum contract last summer and he was back in time for
the start of the season.
Love is averaging 15.8 points
and 10.4 rebounds.
Cleveland carried a 19-point
lead into the fourth quarter,
but struggled to put away the
lowly Lakers.
Bryant converted a 4-point
play and made three free
throws to get Los Angeles
within 108-100, but J.R. Smith
and James made 3-pointers in
the final three minutes.
The Cavs tastefully saluted
Bryant during pregame introductions with a video presentation of some of his best
moments. Bryant watched the
tribute on the arena’s gigantic
scoreboard before hearing his
name and taking the floor with
his teammates. Bryant patted
his chest in appreciation as
Cleveland’s crowd broke into
chants of “Ko-be, Ko-be.”
Before the opening tip, Bryant walked to the Cavs bench
and hugged Cleveland coach
Wednesday that it will be
Vickers. The person spoke
on condition of anonymity
because the team is awaiting word from NASCAR on
whether Vickers is medically
cleared to race.
Vickers ran only two races
last season before suffering a
recurrence of blood clots. He
can’t compete when being
treated for the clots because
the blood thinners increase
his risk of serious internal
bleeding if he crashes.
Vickers
Stewart
Stewart is sidelined for the
start of his final NASCAR
season with a fractured vertebra. He was hurt riding an
all-terrain vehicle in the des-
ert in California last week.
Vickers is only expected to
run at Daytona, which opens
Friday ahead of the Feb. 21
season-opening Daytona
500. SHR is still looking at
all of its options for beyond
Daytona. Stewart is expected to race at some point this
year.
Vickers has been sidelined four different times for
health issues since 2010.
He missed the final five
races of the 2013 season
because he was placed on
blood thinners to treat a
blood clot in his right calf.
He also missed 25 races during the 2010 season when
clots were discovered in his
legs and lungs.
During his 2010 absence,
he underwent a pair of procedures, one to close a hole
in his heart and another to
insert a stent into a vein in
his left leg. He was private
about the heart surger y
and didn’t address it until a
Tyronn Lue, who won two
NBA titles as his teammate in
Los Angeles.
Bryant and James started
out guarding each other, a
matchup NBA fans never got
to witness in the Finals and
will only see one more time
when the Cavs visit the Lakers
on March 10.
Before the game, Bryant
said he’s never viewed James
as a rival.
“I never looked to see what
he was doing,” Bryant said. “I
just felt like we were a completely different generation.
I just missed that thing completely. Not like a Magic-Bird
sort of thing. From the time
he came into the league it was
more helping him, giving him
direction, advice.”
Bryant and James shared a
heartfelt hug before the Lakers’ superstar left with 40 seconds left to a rousing ovation.
POULLAS
Continued from B1
TIP-INS
Cavaliers: G Matthew Dellavedova missed his fifth
straight game with left hamstring soreness. ... James entered the night trailing Paul
Pierce for 15th place on the
NBA’s career scoring list. ...
Because he’s played with Bryant and coached James, Lue
is as qualified as anyone to
compare the two superstars.
“They’re both the same,” he
said. “Kobe is more ready to
fight you, he’ll cuss you out.
LeBron is more by example.”

that gave Minnesota a 112-109 lead.

All-Star Kyle Lowry, and the Wolves
used a huge advantage at the freethrow line to close out a team that
had won 14 of its last 15 games.
Pelicans 100, Jazz 96
NEW ORLEANS
Anthony Davis capped a 19-point
night with a running left-handed

21 points for the Pelicans, who
won their second straight. Derrick

month after the procedure.
He was looking forward
to last season, but surgery
in December 2014 to repair
a hole in his heart sidelined
him for the first two races.
He needed the surgery because his body was rejecting the artificial patch he
received five years prior.
He was able to run only
two races before blood clots
returned, and the need for
blood thinners sidelined
him the rest of the year.

Brookfield’s Tori Sheehan looks to pass under pressure from Girard’s Makayla Trebella during
the first half of their All-American Conference Blue Tier matchup Wednesday at Brookfield High
School. Sheehan scored 10 points for the Warriors, who took down the Indians, 40-20.

points for the Indians (139, 8-4).
“The kids played hard
from the beginning to the
end,” said Saxon, who entered the game with 385
wins in his 30th year as
Girard’s head coach.
“I’ve been at the same
school longer than anyone in Ohio,” Saxon said.
“I never changed, I never
moved and I never got
fired.”
While Girard was 1 of 14
from three-point range,
Brookfield was 1 of 1 — by
Tori Sheehan.
Overall, the homecourt
Warriors connected on 17
of 44 goals, mostly (16 of
43) from the paint area.
Ba i ley Drapola’s 12
points led Brook f ield
while Sheehan had 10. Of
the winners’ 27 rebounds,
Drapola had seven and
Autumn Kirila six.
Camille Stoffick had
seven of Girard’s 23 rebounds.
Brookfield coach Shawn
Hammond had his Warriors deviate from recent
games and, instead, concentrated on half-court
defense.
“Typically, we’ve been
pressing a lot, especially
because we’ve been playing three games in five
days,” he said. “We play
a lot of kids, but, tonight,
we just wanted to work on
our halfcourt [defense].
It’s like we’ve taken a step
back. We wanted to work
on playing good, halfcourt
defense – getting out and
running out on the shooters. It was a low-scoring
game, so I want to think
and believe that our kids
did a nice job of getting
out and, at least, contesting the shots and make
them think about us.”
Of Girard’s 16 steals, junior Makayla Trebella had
five, while Ali Ciminero,
who didn’t play much in
the second half after injuring an ankle earlier,
had three of Girard’s four
assists. Ciminero started
the game as the visitors’
leading scorer with 14
points per game.
In its Division III tournament opener on Feb. 17,
the Warriors entertain Pymatuning Valley at 7 p.m.
Girard’s first postseason
test in Division II is Saturday at Southeast at 1.

the offseason in the weight
room.
“I just wanted to get bigger
and stronger,” Poullas said.
“Competing at a higher weight
when you used to wrestle at
a lower weight, the guys are
sometimes not as fast. It gives
you an advantage.”
Poullas and Pitts also
spent the offseason traveling
all over, from North Dakota
to North Carolina. During
the Ironman Tournament
at Walsh University, Poullas
got a taste of what it’s like to
wrestle with a known reputation.
“Right out of the gate, he
wrestled a kid he knew and
[his opponent] stopped all
of his moves,” Pitts said.
“He beat us in a really close
match, but later on, we beat
him by adjusting. Georgio
does a good job of adjusting
when people kind of know
what he’s doing. It’s kind of a
cat-and-mouse game where
you have to be a step ahead
of the next guy.”
Even before he earned his
No. 1 status, Poullas was a
known quantity from his
runs to the state tournament
as a freshman and sophomore. Because of this, Poullas has to constantly change
his go-to moves to try and
catch opponents who’ve
scouted him off-guard.
“Some guys know how
to stop my stuff when they
scout me and know what’s
coming. I practice in the
room every day to have a different shot in case they know
my go-to move, I can switch
it to something else,” Poullas
said. “My coach always helps
me come up with something
in case they stop my go-to.
“It’s a lot of the little things
in wrestling. A lot of people
think it’s about how many
moves you know. Well, it’s
about how many moves you
know well.”
Poullas is one of the few
full-time wrestlers at Canfield. The Cardinals have
other quality wrestlers who
played football, such as
220-pound Jacob Esarco and
the 170-pound David Crawford. Poullas opted out of
playing other sports to pursue what he calls a lifestyle.
“His v ision was to be
a wrestler. Not all of our
guys do that, but he’s one
of them,” Pitts said. “It is an
obsession. You are always
thinking about it as a wrestler. I don’t want to sound
rude or arrogant about it, but
this is the toughest sport in
the world.
Said Poullas: “If it was easy,
everybody would do it. A lot
of people don’t do it because
they’re mentally or physically not tough enough.”
The recruitment letters are
starting to come in for Poullas and while it’s too early to
narrow down a destination,
he has one set of criteria for
choosing schools.
“For what I want to do, I
want to go into a nursing program,” he said. “Every time I
get a letter, I check out if they
have a good nursing program
or medical program.
“My whole family, my
mom, my dad and my brother and sister went into it and
it’s something I know a lot
about. It would suit me well.”
At the end of this month,
Poullas will begin what projects to be his third straight
trip to Columbus. He’s just
as familiar with the state
championship atmosphere
just as much as his opponents there will be familiar
with him.
“The first time I was there,
I was nervous and it got to
me a little bit,” he said. “The
second time, I was used to
it, but things just didn’t
go my way. So, hopefully
this year, I can achieve my
goals.”

Aerodynamics Inc. responds to objections
By KALEA HALL
[email protected]
VIENNA
Aerodynamics Inc. once again
fought off objections made against
the airline providing service between Youngstown and Chicago.
ADI, which recently received approval from the U.S. Department
of Transportation, called for the
department to dismiss the objections because they do not undermine “the department’s fi ndings
that ADI is fit and should be issued
a certificate” to provide the service.
ADI continually claims in its Feb.
9 filing against the objections that
it is a separate company from SeaPort Airlines. The two airlines have
the same owner, but operate different aircraft and provide different
service – SeaPort offers scheduled
service and ADI offers charter service.
The first objection from JA Flight
Services contends SeaPort failed to
make payments on aircraft leases
covering certain aircraft.
“It wrongly claims that ADI will
operate inconsistent with the public
interest,” ADI’s filing reads.
ADI’s filing notes that the basis
of JA Flight Services’ objection “is
really about, namely, a private commercial contract dispute” between
JA Flight Services and SeaPort.
SeaPort recently filed for Chapter
11 bankruptcy, which ADI says is
the appropriate forum for objectors
such as JA Flight Services.
The other objection, from Sun
Air Express claims SeaPort abandoned a route without notices and
expressed concern for the communities that received the service.
“Sun Air seeks to delay or derail
ADI’s receipt of effective certificate authority to protect it from
competition from ADI,” ADI’s filing
reads.
ADI plans to offer its daily service
to Chicago O’Hare International
Airport from the Mahoning Valley’s
Vienna airport starting in late April
or early May.
VW, Audi, BMW recall
DETROIT
Volkswagen, Audi and
BMW are recalling nearly 1.7
million vehicles with Takata
air-bag inflators that can
rupture and hurl shrapnel
into drivers and passengers.
The moves announced
Wednesday bring to just
over 5.1 million the number of vehicles in the latest
round of Takata recalls.
On Wednesday, VW and
Audi said they would recall

Subaru issues recall
DETROIT
Subaru is recalling 82,661
Tribeca SUVs because their
hoods can open unexpectedly while driving.
The recall involves Tribecas from the 2006-2014
model years. Most were sold
in the U.S., but 5,661 were
sold in Canada.
Subaru says rust or
grease buildup can cause
the springs in the hood to
seize up and stop working.
2 deputies, gunman
dead in shooting
ABINGDON, MD.
A gunman fatally shot
a deputy sheriff inside a
crowded restaurant at
lunchtime Wednesday and
killed another deputy in a
shootout nearby, authorities
and witnesses said.
The suspect was killed in
the shootout not far from
the shopping center where
the restaurant was situated, Harford County Sheriff
Jeffrey Gahler said. No bystanders were hurt.
Police haven’t released a
motive for the shooting, but
the sheriff said he believed
the first deputy who approached the gunman was
shot because he was wearing a uniform. The shooter,
67-year-old David Brian
Evans, had warrants out for
his arrest in Harford County
and Orange County, Fla.,
where he was accused of assaulting a police officer.
The slain officers were described as a 30-year veteran
and a 16-year veteran.

other planned bombings that
helped them increase security at the camp, said an official
of the Borno State Emergency Management Agency.

Mich. governor plans Jumbled GOP field hopes
$360 million for Flint for survival in S. Carolina
Associated Press
with restructuring the trou-
LANSING, MICH. bled Detroit school district
Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder on Wednesday proposed spending hundreds
of millions more dollars to
address Flint’s water crisis
from lead contamination
and to update pipes there
and across the state – a plan
that lawmakers from both
parties generally welcomed
as moving in the right direction w ith the proper
priorities.
Snyder’s plan would direct $195 million more toward the Flint emergency
and $165 million for statewide infrastructure needs,
at least a portion of which
could replace lead and copper water lines elsewhere.
He said $25 million of the
Flint funding would replace
5,000 known old lead lines
running from city streets
to houses, calling it a “seed
investment” until the state
has a better handle on how
many of the pipes there are.
The Republican governor
cited aging infrastructure
as a pressing priority, along
and addressing skyrocketing specialty medicine
costs.
Meanwhile, A water expert who first raised concerns about lead in Flint’s
drinking water dismissed as
“contrived” a city official’s
suggestion in an email that
anti-corrosive phosphates
weren’t added to the Flint
River because of worries
that the chemicals would
promote bacterial growth.
Environmental engineer
Marc Edwards of Virginia
Tech told The Associated
Press on Wednesday that
the Sept. 3 comment by
Howard Croft, the former
Flint public works director,
was “a hindsight explanation” that came shortly after
Edwards and his associates
went public with warnings
that the city’s drinking water
was dangerous. The river already had sufficient levels
of phosphates to nourish
bacteria and adding more
would have had no effect on
them, he said.

IF YOU WATCH
COLUMBIA, S.C.
Hoping for survival in
the South, a muddled field
of Republican presidential contenders descended
Wednesday on South Carolina, no closer to clarity
about who can stand between Donald Trump and
their party’s nomination.
Not me, Carly Fiorina
announced, dropping out
of the campaign. A Chris
Christie spokeswoman said
his race was over, too. But a
sizable field remained.
To the dismay of party
leaders, all signs point to
a drawn-out battle for delegates after Trump’s resounding victory in New
Hampshire. Florida Sen.
Marco Rubio, under immense pressure to prove
himself after a devastating
fifth-place finish, was looking for a fight that could
last for months or even spill
into the first contested GOP
national convention since
1976.
“We very easily could be
looking at May – or the convention,” Rubio campaign
manager Terry Sullivan
told The Associated Press.

were feeling no less queasy.
Rejected in New Hampsh i re, H i l la r y C l i nton
sought redemption in Nevada, where a more-diverse
group of voters awaited her
and Bernie Sanders.
Sanders, a Vermont senator and self-proclaimed
democratic socialist, raised
$5 million-plus in less than
a day after his New Hampshire triumph. The contributions came mostly in
small-dollar amounts, his
campaign said, illustrating the resources he’ll have
to fight Clinton to a bitter
end.
Both Clinton and Sanders – the first Jew to win
a presidential primary –
worked to undercut each
other among blacks and
Hispanics with less than

two weeks until the Democratic contests in Nevada
and South Carolina.
Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, the
conser vative f irebra nd
and victor in the leadoff
Iowa caucuses, returned
to the center of the fracas
after largely sitting out
New Hampshire. He drew
contrasts with Trump as
he told a crowd of 500 in
Myrtle Beach that Texans
and South Carolinians are
more alike than not.
Almost all the Republicans have spent months
building complex campaigns and blanketing airwaves in South Carolina,
which heralds the start of
the GOP campaign’s foray
into the South. After that

to limit warming to no more
WASHINGTON than an additional 1.8 de-
The Obama administration asserted Wednesday
that a Supreme Court order
delaying enforcement of its
new clean-power rules will
ultimately have little impact
on meeting the nation’s obligations under the recent
Paris climate agreement.
But environmentalists
and academic experts are
more nervous.
They are concerned that
any significant pause in implementing mandated reductions in carbon-dioxide
emissions from coal-fired
power plants will imperil
the credibility of the Unites
States to lead on climate
change, while increasing
worries both at home and
abroad that the whole international agreement might
unravel if a Republican
wins the White House in
November.
Nea rly 200 cou nt r ies
agreed in December to cut
or limit heat-trapping greenhouse gases in the first global treaty to try to limit the
worst predicted impacts of
climate change. The goal is
grees Fahrenheit. Each nation set its own goals under
the treaty, and President
Barack Obama committed
the United States to make a
26 to 28 percent cut in U.S.
emissions by 2030.
The Clean Power Plan is
seen as essential to meeting that goal, requiring
a one-third reduction in
carbon-dioxide emissions
from existing power plants
over the next 15 years. Even
before the Environmental
Protection Agency released
the plan last year, a long list
of mostly Republican states
that are economically dependent on coal mining and
oil production announced
they would sue.
Though the case is still
pending before an appeals
court in Washington, a 5-4
majority on the Supreme
Court issued a surprising
order on Tuesday barring
any enforcement of the plan
until the legal challenge is
resolved.

and West was forced to discard
the nine of diamonds to keep all
of his clubs. Next came a club
to the ace followed by the king
of clubs as South discarded the
jack of diamonds. On the queen
of clubs, East had to keep a
high spade so he discarded a
diamond. South then discarded
the 10 of spades. In the twocard ending, West was known
to hold the high club and East
the high spade, so the remaining
diamonds had to be splitting 1-1.
South led a diamond to the ace

Could the defense have prevailed? Yes! West could have

Twin sisters in New Jersey have given

hospital.
WPVI-TV reports that Stephanie Edginton and Nicole Montgomery delivered their
daughters Cora and Louisa six minutes
apart Monday afternoon at Virtua Hospital
in Voorhees.
Edginton says she and her sister were
both due to deliver their children Friday.
But Edginton was told to go to the hospital for labor while she was at a doctor’s
appointment.
Edginton says that as she was on her way
to the hospital with her husband, she got
a call saying Montgomery was on her way
there, too.
The twins say they were born three minutes apart.

Police said 23-year-old Alayna WeishnerRush asked the duo to rob the Burger King in
Washington, Pa., on Jan. 14.
Police said Weishner-Rush wanted them
to rob the restaurant while she was working
the drive-thru window, so she could split the
money with them later.
But police say the couple instead contacted police about the plan, and no robbery
occurred.
The Washington Observer-Reporter first
reported the charges Monday.
They were filed last week, and Weishner-Rush faces a preliminary hearing

DALLAS
A lock of hair snipped from the head of
John Lennon as the Beatle prepared for a
film role is expected to sell for $10,000 at a
Dallas auction later this month.
Heritage Auctions said in a news release
Monday that the 4-inch lock was collected
by a German hairdresser who trimmed
Lennon’s hair before he started shooting
“How I Won the War.”
The dark comedy, released in 1967, follows
the World War II misadventures of British
troops led by an inept commander.
The auction will take place Feb. 20, and
Heritage says it will include other rare items
linked to The Beatles, such as a signed photograph of all four members.

Star 94.7-FM struggles
despite strong ratings
For Skip Bednarczyk, it’s a
time of celebration and disappointment.
The owner and operator
of Star 94.7-FM, the Mahoning Valley’s only Adult-Urban
Contemporary radio station,
recently achieved his goal of
starting a station and making
it a market leader. In the fall
2015 Nielsen ratings book, Star
94.7 finished second among
the Valley’s 14 stations, behind
country kingpin WQXK-FM
(K105).
Not bad for
a station that

THOUGHTS is a lifelong
radio pro
Guy D’Astolfo and a turnaround specialist who revived the late
JAMZ 101.9-FM, only to see it
get sold.
He decided to take his destiny in his own hands in 2014
when he bought WGFT-AM
and an FM translator (that’s
a device that sends the signal
out on the FM band). He specifically targeted the Valley’s
adult black listeners – 35 and
older – with a mix of current
and classic R&B.
It’s different from JAMZ,
which was a hip-hop station
that had a much youngerskewing audience.

EXTRAVAGANZA!
Valentine’s show
Steve Fazzini, a local Sinatra-style singer,
will be one of the performers at “One Snowy
Night – When Love Happens,” an evening of
art and performance at 7 p.m. Sunday at Tyler
History Center, 325 W. Federal St., downtown
Youngstown. Tickets are $20 in advance at
Something New Florist, Canfield; Consign and
Design, Poland; Send It Packin, Austintown; and
Suzie’s Dogs and Drafts, Youngstown; and $30
at the door. The event, designed for singles and
couples, will include a program of visual art,
spoken word, live music, dancing, food, raffles,
a photo booth, silent auction and more. The program will take the audience through five aspects
of love. After the event, downtown bars will
offer drink specials to those with a ticket stub.
Youngstown Click is the sponsor of the event.
proves. He had the highest
market share for an FM translator in the entire country, and
also the highest share of any
black station in Ohio and the
five states that surround it.
W hat ’s more, Sta r 94.7
carved out a niche as a small
independent company in a
radio market dominated by
national chains.
The problem is, while he
caught the ears of listeners, he
has struggled to get advertisers. As a result, Star 94.7 is a
break-even proposition despite
its solid base of local folks who
tune it in.
Last year, the Federal Communicat ions Commission
eased its rules on the sale and
transfer of AM stations with
FM translators, and Bednarczyk has been getting a steady
stream of offers for his. In a
moment of weakness, he accepted one for $325,000 that
would have moved the station
to Latrobe, Pa. But the offer
had technical flaws and was
rejected by the FCC.
Bednarczyk said this week
that he has since changed his
mind about selling and is glad
the deal fell through. He wants
to give it another shot by bolstering his sales efforts. With
the Ohio primary looming, he
could be in for a windfall of
political ads.
But he is definitely frustrated. It’s evident in his voice.

Acclaimed artist takes fresh look at famous women in Butler exhibit
Audrey Flack’s ‘Heroines’
By REBECCA S. NIEMINEN
[email protected]
IF YOU GO
What: “Audrey Flack:
Heroines,” an art exhibition
When: Sunday through
April 10
Where: Butler Institute
of American Art, 524 Wick
Ave., Youngstown
Info: For hours and other
details, call the Butler at
330-743-1107, or go to
www.butlerart.com.

signs her piece
“Un Bouchee.”
YOUNGSTOWN
Creative, daring and technically brilliant, the
work of Audrey Flack has been celebrated for
decades.
Known as a painter, printmaker, sculptor and
pioneer in photorealism, Flack has garnered
various awards and recognitions during her
long career.
Beginning Sunday, Mahoning Valley
residents can take a closer look at Flack’s
artistic genius when an exhibit titled “Audrey Flack: Heroines” opens at the Butler
Institute of American Art.
The exhibit runs through April 10 and
features prints and drawings of women
who have been neglected or demonized
throughout history.
Louis Zona, director of the Butler,
said the museum is excited to share
Flack’s work.
“When this show was offered to us,
we thought it would be a wonderful
opportunity,” said Zona. “Audrey Flack
is one of America’s best-known artists
and was a major figure in the New Realism movement of the 1970s. Over the
years, she has continued to be steady
in terms of excellence.”
The “Heroines” exhibit spotlights
an eclectic ensemble of females –
everyone from Marilyn Monroe to
St. Teresa to Medusa – and Flack
offers fresh interpretations of each
personality.
For example, Flack’s “St. Teresa,” a
charcoal and pastel on paper,
is based upon Bernini’s famous “Saint Teresa of Avila
in Ecstasy,” but Flack’s version of the saint is an erotic
one, depicting the face of a
woman in the throes of sexual ecstasy.
“Flack’s work makes statements that connect to feminism and the sexual revolution,” said Wendy Swick, director of public relations at
the Butler.
An open tube of lipstick
sketched into the drawing
can be interpreted as both a
statement on the cosmetics
industry or as a phallic symbol.
Flack’s drawing of Marilyn
Monroe conveys a sad ver-
sion of the sex symbol as a 30-something dependent on drugs and alcohol, lost and faded.
Unlike glossy, glamorous renditions of the
late movie star, Flack’s depiction of Monroe
requests sympathy.
Flack’s “Medusa’s Heart,” a charcoal, pastel
and gouache on paper, presents a contrary
view of the Greek legend commonly thought
of as a vile monster. It asks viewers to recall
her as the beautiful maiden who was raped by
Poseidon, a creature in pain, who became bitter and angry due to the injustice she endured.
The drawing shows the profile of a tragic face,
grimacing in despair.
Not all of Flack’s subjects are quite as wellknown as Monroe or Medusa.
Flack’s drawing “Camille Claudel,” for example, is based on an 1884 photograph of Claudel,
who as an 18-year-old artist entered an ill-fated
romance with famed sculptor Auguste Rodin.
Rodin would not acknowledge Claudel and
forced her to abort their child, which Flack
believes caused Claudel to succumb to deep
depression. Claudel eventually ended up in a
mental institution.
Flack’s interpretation of Claudel departs from
that of a mentally unstable female to show her
as intelligent, gifted and focused.
“The exhibit is intriguing because she transforms these women from victims into heroines,” said Swick. “It is also interesting because
of her style. She has so many pieces inspired by
photographs.”
In addition to the upcoming exhibit, Zona
said Flack has two works of art that are on permanent display at the Butler – “Baba,” a portrait
of an Indian guru, and “Queen Catherine of
Braganza,” a 10-foot sculpture of white plaster,
which was added to the museum in 2015.
Queen Catherine was born into the House of
Braganza, the most senior noble house in Portugal. The Portuguese princess became Queen
of England when she married King Charles II
in 1662. In America, the New York borough of
Queens was named after her.
The Heroines exhibit will be housed near the
towering sculpture.
Flack was born in New York in 1931. She has
a graduate and an honorary doctorate degree
from Cooper Union in New York City and a
bachelor’s degree in fine arts from Yale University. She also attended New York University’s
Institute of Fine Arts where she studied art
history.
Her work has been showcased in many prestigious museums including the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Museum of Modern
Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the
Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum.

What is a garden? More than you think
By BARB DELISIO
OSU Extension master gardener volunteer
I recently attended a workshop in
Columbus with three other master
gardener volunteers from Mahoning County. It was hosted by the Perennial Plan Association and OSU
Extension.
There were five major speakers
from different parts of the country, including “the perennial Diva”
from Pennsylvania.
We were expecting the usual new
and exciting plants and ideas to improve the garden and get us in the
mood to plan our gardens.
But Debra Knakpke of Columbus
surprised us with a program dealing with ecology in your garden.
“What is a garden?” she asked,
then explained, it’s an idea, then a
place, and finally an ecosystem of
its own created by putting plants in
an area where they will thrive.
An ecosystem is the interaction
of living organisms with their environment. The interaction involves
resources available for growth of
the organisms.
Basically the ecosystem includes
plants, which are producers; animals, which are consumers; bugs
and organisms, which are decomposers, all influenced by light, temperature, precipitation, pollutants
and soil (pH, texture, fertility) to determine the system’s “carrying capacity,” or the number of organisms
it can support.
The various interactions that
make this garden work include
competition among species sharing
a limited resource, such as weeds
competing with desired plants and
turf competing with trees; predation, in which one species feeds on
another, such as hawks eating mice
or rust fungus consuming leaves
and grass; parasitism, in which one
species feeds on another slowly,
such as mistletoe growing on an
oak tree, eventually killing the tree;
mutualism, in which two species
provide resources to each other,
such as bean roots enriching the
soil by providing nitrogen; and, finally, commensalism, in which one
species receives a benefit from another species with no effect on the
These mynah relatives are great mimics, but will evict native species
European starlings
What: Gardening does
not have to end when temperatures (and leaves) fall.
With a little forethought and
effort, you can enjoy fresh
garden produce during the
same months you are busy
shoveling snow. Come and
learn how.

Ohio certified volunteer naturalist
A
ll the European
starlings in North
America descend-
ed from 100 birds set loose
in New York’s Central Park in
the early 1890s.
The birds were intentionally
released by a group who wanted
America to have all the birds that
Shakespeare ever mentioned.
Today, more than 200 million
European Starlings range from
Alaska to Mexico.
They are considered an
invasive species, native to Eurasia.
Sta rlings a re
chunky birds with short tails and
long slender beaks. They are 8.5
inches long, weigh 2.5-3.5 ounces,
with a wingspan of 12-15 inches.
In flight their wings are short
and pointed, making them look
like small, four-pointed stars.
At a distance, starlings look
black. In summer they are iridescent purplish-green with yellow
beaks. In winter plumage they
are brown, covered with brilliant
white spots.
Starlings are boisterous, loud
and travel in large groups.
They are common in towns,
suburbs and the countryside near
human settlements.
They feed mostly on the ground
and will eat nearly anything, from
insects, berries, grains, seeds, nectar and even garbage. They will
also come to your feeders and are
fond of suet.
Males and females generally
look alike.
Males choose the nest site to
attract females. They are cavity
nesters, using a building crevice or
other structures like streetlights.
They will also take over a woodpecker’s hole or a nest box, having
a negative impact on our native
cavity nesting birds.
They will even expel the occupants when they take over
the nest, thus causing these
populations to decline.
The male will build a nest of
grass, pine needles, feathers and
even cloth and string within one
to three days.
If the female approves, they will
mate and she will lay a clutch of
three to six bluish- or greenishwhite eggs. Incubation is 12 days,
with a nestling period of 21-23
days.
Bot h parents w ill feed t he
nestlings.
Two broods a year is common.
Though they’re mostly considered pests and resented for their
noisy flocks and aggressiveness,
they are grudgingly
ad m i red for
their adapta b i l i t y,
tough-
ness and intelligence.
They are relatives of the Mynah
bird and are great vocal mimics.
Individuals can learn the calls
of up to 20 bird species, a few animal sounds and even mechanical
sounds.
Most starlings are yearround
residents in North America, but
some do migrate south in the fall.
They are strong fliers that can
get up to speeds of 48 mph.
Their dazzling migration formations called “murmurations”
are nothing short of mesmerizing,
and can be seen on YouTube.
Though many attempts have
been made to control their population, it is clear that starlings
have found a permanent
home in North America.

they are an issue, go to http://

Bumpy
pears from
Stony Pit
pears were hard last
Q. My
year and really bumpy. We
couldn’t even eat them. What
can I do to fix this for my 2016
crop?
Gail from Negley
You have a viral disease
A.
in your trees. This is Pear
Stony Pit, a serious disease of
pear trees – but not their cousins,
apples, in the pome fruit family. Bartlett pears will get this
disease, but not show any symptoms. It is common in the Pacific
Northwest, but uncommon here
in the Midwest.
The symptoms first appear to
be spots on the flesh of young
pear fruits. As the growing season
progresses, these spots appear to
be insect bites into the pears that
are sunken. That is because the
stone is located in that area.
As the pear grows, the stone
areas become even deeper pits in
the skin of the pear, many times
with a brown spot in the center.
Researchers say that if you try
to cut into these stones, you will
only push the stone deeper into
the pear.
Sometimes, you may notice a
similar issue on pears and apples
that is not Stony Pit. It could be an
insect issue.
We have yet to see brown marmorated stink bug damage on
apples and pears in our area. We
used lures to trap BMSB at one
local farm after seeing what we
thought were symptoms. The
traps did not show any significant presence of BMSB in the orchard.
Sometimes, Stony Pit makes
pears gritty internally, without
having any larger “stones” in
them. These pears are safe to eat.
The grower should know this and
look to control the disease in the
planting.
The virus that causes Stony Pit
Disease has not been isolated.
The virus is mostly transmitted
by grafting. Thus, Gail may have
a tree that was grafted and the
disease is already in the tree.
Sometimes, symptoms may
not appear until the end of the
second season of pear production. When the disease appears,
the only control options seem
to be selecting virus-free trees
and removal of severely infected
trees.
Research shows that the most
severely infected cultivars include Bosc, Comice and Seckel.
Other cultivars show signs, but
not as prevalent or noticeable.

He finds
her play
with son
strange
Dear Annie: My girlfriend has a thing that she
does with her 10-year-old
son that I find borderline
weird.
The first time I was at
her home, while we were
cooking dinner together,
her son started whining,
“Can we do it now, please?
Please?” and she says OK
and tells me she’ll be back
in a minute. The two of
them then go into the living room. She sits on the
sofa and, within view of
the boy’s sister and myself, he strips down to his
underwear and jumps on
her lap. She starts bouncing him up and down on
her leg, pinching his butt
and tickling him, with
his legs wrapped around
hers.
I asked her 12-year-old
daughter how often they
do that, and she said every
night. Half an hour later,
they came back into the
kitchen and we ate.
Before I left, I said to my
girlfriend, “I see he likes to
play horsey with you,” and
my sweetie says, “Yeah.
Well, I told him he’s getting a little too old, but I
figure it’s OK as long as we
only do it in the house.”
She seemed per fect ly
comfortable with it, but
I’m not.
Do most mothers do
this with their 10-year-old
sons? I understand some
roughhousing, but taking
off his clothes and bouncing on her lap, I’m not so
sure. We dated for a year
before I met her kids, but
after seeing this, I’m not
sure about us living together.

WARREN
Is This Normal?
Dear Normal: And you
only find this “borderline
weird”? This is shockingly
inappropriate. It’s one thing
for a 10-year-old boy to sit
on Mom’s lap. It’s something else entirely when he
strips down to his skivvies,
wraps his legs around her
and gets tickled, pinched
and bounced up and
down. Does she truly not
understand what her son
enjoys about this? Please
suggest to your girlfriend
that she discuss it with her
pediatrician and ask about
the best way to stop before
she does serious emotional
damage to her child. And
if you still want to move in
with her, make sure these
little shenanigans are over
first. Otherwise, her son
will blame you for ending
his fun.
Dea r A nnie : I read
the letter from “Old and
Trapped,” who resented
her husband for sitting on
the sofa all day while she
cooks and cleans. Please
tell her to investigate
continuing-care senior
communities so she can
live a happy and carefree
life while she’s still young
enough to enjoy it.
It will be her true “retirement” when she finds
a place that will free her
of household chores while
also providing entertainment and activities amid
friendly peers. My husband was reluctant at first,
but ditching the big house
a nd keeping on ly t he
things that meant most
to us was the best move
we ever made. We are only
sorry that we waited until
our 80s, but we are relishing each day here.
Not Trapped Here
D e ar Not Trapp e d :
Many folks in retirement
communities arrive kicking and screaming, but find
that they are thrilled with
the busy life they have, and
they no longer have to do
much cooking or cleaning.
Thanks for mentioning it.

By Ray Magliozzi
Dear Car Talk:
I drive an ‘09 Ford Explorer Sport
Trac. I drive it up and down a very
steep mountain road every day – a
7-degree incline. Every day when
I drive down the mountain, I have
two options:
(1) Drive with the brakes on all
the way down the hill to keep me at
a safe speed.
(2) Throw the truck into a lower
gear.
Which is better for the vehicle?
– Joe
The lower gear, Joe.
A 7-degree incline is pretty steep.
If you don’t believe us, set your
treadmill on a 7-degree incline and
walk for five minutes.
The primary reason to use a
lower gear is safety. When you’re
riding your brakes for a long period
of time, all that friction turns into
heat, which can overheat your
brakes and cause them to fail. And
traveling down the mountain without brakes won’t be good for the
vehicle either, Joe.
What actually happens is that the
brakes get red-hot, and that heats
up the brake fluid. Once the brake
fluid boils, it’s no longer able to
transmit hydraulic pressure, and
you can’t stop the car.
That kind of constant heat also
increases the likelihood that your
brake discs will warp and need to
be replaced. And the truth is, putting the truck in a lower gear when
traveling down a steep grade does
no harm to anything else. You’re
just taking advantage of the natural
compression in the engine (the pistons compressing air) and using the
transmission to apply that natural
engine braking to the wheels. The
car will make more noise, because
the engine is revving faster. But it’s
not hurting anything.
Occasional braking is fine. So ideally, you’ll find a gear where you’re
moving fast enough to get home
before the ballgame is over, but not
gaining so much speed that you
have to sit on the brakes constantly.
So try shifting one gear lower
and see how much natural braking
you get. If it’s not enough, drop
down another gear. And if you get
down to first gear and you’re still
not going slowly enough, look for
another job.
Car Talk can be heard Saturday
at 10 a.m. and Sunday at noon on
WYSU 88.5 FM, “Radio you need
to know.”

Happy Birthday Son
What I’d give if I could
say hello again in the
same old way. To hear
your voice and see your
smile, to set with you
and chat for awhile.
So if you’re son is still
here, cherish him with
care; for you’ll never
know the heartache
until you see that
empty chair.
Love Mom,
Your Son Jamar

TODAY’S HOROSCOPE
Happy Birthday! In the next
year: All those good and practical
ideas come out of genuine need
to take care of your own. You don't
even care if they reciprocate: The
role of "provider" is so germane to
your agenda. However, reciprocate
they will this year -- and then
some. Your true wealth will be the
heaps of love lavished on you for
the next 12 months. Leo and Cancer adore you. Your lucky numbers
are: 4, 30, 9, 22 and 10.
CELEBRITY PROFILES: He stole
the hearts of women and wolves as
Jacob Black, among the most beloved werewolves of all time. Look
for Aquarius actor Taylor Lautner
in "The Ridiculous 6," a comedic
western co-written by Adam Sandler. Born under four Capricorn
planets, Lautner has serious
business acumen. Perhaps he will
follow in Sandler's footsteps, one
day producing his own films.
a ARIES (March 21-April 19).
This new world you come across -well, it seems to have been in fine
working order before you arrived.
Nonetheless, it will not work nearly
as well unless you take part in its
future.
b TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
When you're around people who
"get you" you don't have to be big
and obvious. All you have to be is
you, paying attention and calling it
as you see it. What a relief!
c G E M I N I (May 21-June 21).
You need an adequate form of
creative expression. Which form is
adequate? The form that prevents
you from misdirecting all your
wonderful, imaginative energy into
places where it can't be productively utilized.
d CANCER (June 22-July 22).
Success brings happiness; happiness brings success. This is not
always the case, of course -- all the
more reason to celebrate these
times of simple, elegant, universal
reciprocity.
e LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).
You're moving into a gray area in a
relationship. This is a good place
to be, though you must also be
bold. No more reliance on the rules
and standards that put you there.
You'll now be making up your own
guidelines.
f V I R G O (Aug. 23-Sept.
22). Political unrest isn't just for
countries. You'll feel it in a small
corner of your daily life. Note: You
can stand by the principle of a
thing without giving your vote of
approval to the leader.
g LIBR A (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
There's a mild tone to the day, and
the best order business is to simply enjoy what's good, be patient
with what's bad and save the big
guns for the things that need bigtime obliteration.

h SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
No one in this world makes it
alone. You may not be 100 percent
satisfied with the help you are
currently receiving, but you appreciate the help anyway and give
heartfelt thanks.
i SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). You'll promote good luck and
good will by being prompt, or, even
better, early. It may sound a bit
shallow, but your ability to show up
organized, well-dressed and cheerful will advance your purposes.
j CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). Don't ask for more responsibility, as you'll only resent it later.
The casual favors you do because
you want to or because you said
you would are enough for now.
You're enough without doing those
things, too -- just sayin'!
k A Q U A R I U S (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). Trying your best, working
together, winning and losing
graciously -- all things learned
through team efforts. If you're not
part of a team right now there is no
time like the present to get in one!
l P I S C E S (Feb. 19-March 20).
The powers that be will keep piling
on the work as long as you keep
acting like you can take it. Go on
and get down to business. "Dull
boy" or not, all work and no play
just might make you rich.
PISCES SECRET-SUPERPOWER
BREAKDOWN:
The Obvious: Pisces feels the joy
and pain of the world. By feeling
it, does Pisces lessen the pain for
others and increase their joy? It's
something that's hard to prove,
but if you've spent a great deal
of time with Pisces and then are
suddenly not around one, life just
isn't the same. Pisces is like an
emotional amplifier.
The Uncanny: Thinking about
Pisces is sometimes enough to get
one to call you or cross your path.
This sign has telepathy.
The Weird: Pisces sometimes says
strange things or tells fanciful stories that don't make logical sense
and yet somehow are thoroughly
informative.
The Extremely Useful: As the sign
that rules feet, Pisces can walk for
miles without getting tired. This
sign isn't lazy. The sign of fish has
the endurance of salmon and a
willingness to do the work necessary to complete the task they've
started.
The Quietly Helpful: When Pisces
loves you, it truly feels like you
have heaven on your side. This sign
can be an extreme confidencebooster and those lucky enough
to have a Pisces in their cheering
section get a surge of self-esteem
and increased ability.
