Fourth zika case in Allegheny

peduto competes for fundsMayor Bill Peduto spent Thursday afternoon making his fi nal pitch for a $40 million federal grant

Pittsburgh is competing against six other fi nalists in the U.S. Depart-ment of Transportation Smart City Challenge — a national program that o! ers funds to the city with the best plan for fully integrating inno-vative technologies into transporta-tion. The DOT will select the winner by the end of this month.

Pittsburgh’s smart city plan in-cludes tra" c signals that will use sensor detection to make tra" c patterns more e" cient, creating electric avenues to pilot self-driven vehicles and energy-saving street-lights that can “talk” to one another and monitor air quality. People with disabilities will be able to use their phones to signal for crossing the street. The plan also includes con-necting Pittsburgh’s homeless com-munity to public transit for free.

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

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

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

Celebration and grief mixed Sunday dur-ing Pittsburgh’s 2016 Equality March and

PrideFest, as attendees cheered for the parade, watched live performances at the two stages bookending PrideFest and perused more than 150 tables set up along Liberty Avenue Down-town. Candlelight vigils for the victims of the Orlando mass shooting capped o# the week-end with a somber tone.

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

A$ er the silence ended, attendees quickly kicked o# the festivities. In total, members of more than 100 organizations marched in the parade or tabled at PrideFest, including those

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

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

The Allegheny County Health De-partment confi rmed the fourth local case of Zika virus since the end of March Thursday.

Three weeks ago, a Pitt researcher accidentally stuck herself with a nee-dle contaminated with Zika virus, according to a Pitt statement. The af-fl icted Pitt researcher no longer has any Zika symptoms.

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

“People o! en think that gay pride is just a party. But this is a statement of people who support each other, support their friends, support their families, their brothers, their sisters, their aunts and uncles that may be part of the com-munity,” Bryan said. “And this changes hearts and minds.”

Jennifer Sikora, the chair-person for the western Penn-sylvania chapter of the Amer-ican Foundation for Suicide Prevention, said the atmo-sphere of the chapter’s " rst PrideFest was “super polite,” “warm” and “accepting.”

“It has been so busy, we have run out of supplies,” Sikora said. “I’m glad to see it hasn’t

been a# ected by the events in Orlando.”To those grieving, the PrideFest environ-

ment provided an emotional boost. Sarah Grey, a Swissvale resident who had never at-

tended PrideFest before, and South Hills resi-dent Allison Shafer both thought the event was a source of strength.

“We like it a lot,” Grey said. “[It is a] unify-ing experience. I’ve been crying all day.”

A! er the Pride festivities o$ cially ended, more than 20 people gathered to walk from

the David L. Law-rence Convention Center to Point State Park for a candle-light vigil honoring the Orlando victims. Homestead resident Michael David Bat-tle, who organized the Sunday night vig-il with poet Joy KMT, said he received the news of the Orlando mass shooting about noon.

“It’s nice to feel community and really honor their lives,” Battle said about the vig-il. “We’ve been here about two hours, and [the victims of the Or-lando mass shooting] deserve that time.”

% e Pittsburgh Clergy Consortium organized a larger, citywide candlelight vigil outside the City-County Build-

ing Monday night. According to Bryan, about 2,000 people attended the Monday vigil.

“Tonight we will stand in solidarity to-

gether and call for unity against all forms of hate against all people — but especially for those in the [LGBTQ+] community who simply want to be who they want to be and love who they want to love,” Reverend Shanea Leonard of the Judah Fellowship Christian Church said in a press release.

City police blocked o# Grant Street in front of the City-County Building for the Monday vigil. Several people held a large rainbow & ag over a sea of Pittsburghers with lit candles, and Mayor Bill Peduto spoke af-ter an opening prayer by Rabbi Sharyn Hen-ry of Rodef Shalom Congregation.

“% ere’s times when there are no words to describe how we may feel,” Peduto said. “% is is one of those times.”

During his speech, Peduto also quoted Martin Luther

King Jr. to highlight the im-portance of solidarity: “Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that. Hate can-not drive out hate, only love can do that.”

“ W e ’ l l never be able to e x t i n -guish a l l

the h a t e in this w o r l d , but every-one has the opp or tu n i t y to express love,”

Peduto said.Marcus Robinson, president of Pitt’s Rain-

bow Alliance, is from Orlando and attended the vigil Monday night.

“It was strange, seeing my hometown at the top of the news,” Robinson said. “[Pulse] is a place me and m y friends have talked

about.”Following the shoot-

ing, political reactions focused heavily on the

Presumptive Democratic nominee Hill-ary Clinton planned to speak about eco-nomic inequality, rebuilding infrastructure and how unions helped build America’s middle class during her most recent visit to Pittsburgh.

! at plan changed a" er the largest mass shooting in U.S. history le" 50 people dead and 53 injured Sunday at gay nightclub Pulse in Orlando, Florida.

“Today, there are di# erent things on my mind and probably on yours too,” Clinton said. “We are all still reeling from what happened on Sunday in Orlando.”

On Tuesday, more than 700 people gath-ered at the Cir-cuit Center and Ballroom for Int e r n at i on a l Brotherhood of Electrical Work-ers Local Union No. 5 in South Side to hear Clinton speak. For about a half hour, Clinton spoke on her plans going forward from the Orlando mass shooting and heavily compared herself to presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump, particularly on immigration policy, gun control and $ ghting terrorism.

Early in her speech, Clinton said it was “especially great” to come to Pittsburgh af-ter the Pittsburgh Penguins won the Stanley Cup Sunday night.

“County Executive [Rich Fitzgerald] and I were talking, and he said something that re-ally struck me,” Clinton said. “! e Penguins did this the old-fashioned way — teamwork, hard work and resilience. And that’s what we’re going to do with this election.”

Nonetheless, the events in Orlando pri-

marily dominated the day’s focus. Clinton speci$ cally mentioned the two Pennsylva-nian victims of the shooting — Akira Murray and Patience Carter. At 18 years old, Mur-ray was the youngest victim of the shooting. Carter, who su# ered a gunshot wound to her leg, survived.

“It is a poignant reminder that even in a country as big as ours, we are all connected,” Clinton said. “We need to li" up voices of moderation and tolerance.”

Clinton also addressed Trump’s state-ment that she wants to abolish the Second Amendment — a characterization the busi-

ness mogul re-peated during his own Pitts-burgh appear-ance Saturday a" ernoon.

“I believe we Americans are capable of both protecting our Second Amend-ment rights while making sure guns don’t fall into the wrong hands,” Clinton said.

A com-mon attack of R e p u b l i c a n party members — such as for-

mer Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz — against President Barack Obama also became part of Clinton’s speech, when the former Secretary of State defended the president’s choice not to label the shooting an act of “radical Islamic terrorism” — a de-cision for which Trump demanded President Obama’s resignation .

“It matters what we do, not just what we say,” Clinton said. “In the end, it didn’t mat-ter what we called [Osama] bin Laden. It mattered that we got bin Laden.”

! e last time Donald Trump spoke in Pittsburgh, he lauded his own triumphs and dissed his Republican competitors, while protesters marched outside Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Hall.

But during his visit Saturday at the Pitts-burgh International Airport, the presump-tive GOP candidate met no opposition from anti-Trumpers and promised Pittsburgh a return to steel.

“I look at Pittsburgh, and I hate to tell you, but you’ve been wiped out, folks,” Trump said. “I love steel, and I love the miners. We’re going to put the miners back to work.”

Trump, in a camou" age ballcap, spoke to more than 1,500 people in the 88-degree heat for nearly an hour. ! e calm atmosphere of Saturday’s rally di# ered sharply from the tension of Trump’s April a p p e a r a n c e s , when con" ict between protest-ers and supporters led to several arrests and a $ st$ ght Downtown.

Jon Chermonitz, from the West Mif-" in area, joined the crowd on Saturday for round two — he also attended Trump’s rally at Soldiers and Sailors in April.

“! is is re ally peaceful and quiet, and the other one was pretty crazy,” Chermon-itz said. “[Trump supporters] are a pretty peaceful group of people. ! e only people swearing are these [protesters].”

! ough his speech was originally sched-uled for 3 p.m., Trump’s plane — Trump Force One, as the media has dubbed it — landed in front of the rally about 3:30, as

rally-goers chanted “We want Trump,” while “Get Ready for ! is,” by Dutch music group 2 Unlimited, played from the hangar sound system.

Lucy Shoupp, a Peters Township resi-dent, was glad the event went uninterrupted. She said the behavior of protestors at other Trump rallies is “disturbing.”

“Everybody is allowed to protest, but that’s not protesting,” Shoupp said. “People [in San Jose, California] were burning an American " ag and waving a Mexican one. It didn’t seem anti-Trump, it seemed anti-American.”

A c c o r d i n g to Shoupp, the people who pro-test Trump don’t “pay attention to him.”

“He’s a busi-nessman, not a politician,” she said. “He speaks di# erently.”

T r u m p ’ s speeches have most recently provoked con-troversy for ac-cusations that U.S. District Judge Gonzalo Curiel, who is presiding over the civil fraud lawsuits against

Trump University, had a “con" ict of inter-est” because of his “Mexican heritage.” ! e comment prompted criticisms from other Republicans, such as House Speaker Paul Ryan, and last Tuesday, Sen. Mark Kirk — R-Illinois — became the $ rst congressperson to revoke an endorsement of Trump.

Despite these and other criticisms from within his own party, Trump is looking be-yond the existing GOP voter rolls.

“We’re getting millions and millions of additional people. People that the Repub-

lican party has never had before,” Trump said at a press conference Saturday morning. “I’ve had so many people tell me ‘I’ve never voted Republican in my life. I le! the Demo-crats in order to register as a Republican, so I could vote for you.’”

Brian Lockwood of Je" erson County was one of the non-voters Trump claims to have

brought back to the political process. Even though he has voted Republican

since Ronald Reagan ran for president, Lockwood said he originally wasn’t going to vote in this election because Republican and Democratic leaders “are high # ving in back rooms.”

“$ ey are a two-headed monster,” Lock-wood said. “I was going to wash my hands of voting.”

Trump changed his mind, Lockwood

said, because “he’s the ultimate outsider.”John LeDonne, an Uptown resident

and member of Bikers for Trump, said he had previously voted for President Barack Obama but has been disappointed by Obama’s time in o% ce. Trump o" ered a platform based on challenging Washington norms.

“Trump hopefully is going to do what Obama was supposed to,” LeDonne said. “I’ve always been on the side of change.”

4 Councilwoman Natalia Rudiak, Demo-cratic candidate for Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro and United Steelwork-ers’ President Leo Gerard spoke.

During his speech, Shapiro also took a moment to honor the victims of the Orlan-do mass shooting in his speech.

“We # nd strength in one another and strength in our shared values,” Shapiro said. “Our choice is to be divided or our choice is to come together.”

Rudiak said she has been with “our girl” Clinton since day one and that Clinton is

the right person to unite Americans.“Our country is in need of a leader who

leads with compassion and not hate,” Ru-diak said. “[Clinton] has been # ghting for our rights and protection for years. She is with all of us.”

Sharpsville residents Erin Pico r and Nick King said they support Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders but decided to learn more about Clinton before they cast their votes in the November general elec-tion.

“I know that they agree on a lot,” King said. “Her plans are a lot more thought-out [than Sanders’ plans],” King said. “She has a lot of experience.”

According to the Associated Press, Clin-ton gained enough delegates to clinch the Democratic nomination just before win-ning the California primary June 6. Obama o% cially endorsed Clinton for the Demo-cratic nomination three days later.

Fox Chapel resident Lani Lazzari said though Clinton gets a bad rap for suppos-edly being corrupt, she thinks Clinton is a good person to represent the Democratic party.

“$ is is a particularly important election because she is both a woman and someone I think is really quali# ed to be in o% ce,” Laz-zari said. “It’s something historic, and some-thing I didn’t want to miss out on.”

OpinionsLGBTQ+ victims deserve recognition, not erasure

from the editorial board column

We all may be Americans, but not all of us are targeted simply for whom we love.

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

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

While the motivations remain unknown, the lo-cation of the attack at a gay nightclub is not random. We have yet to con! rm that this was an act of terror, but we know that the LGBTQ+ community was the target of this brutal attack. We have a long way to go to make LGBTQ+ members feel safe and equal in our society, and we cannot let partisanship dismiss the identities that needlessly cost these victims their lives.

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

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

" ough they are quick to insult President

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

When we disregard the identities of those who were killed, it is not a message of solidarity — it is erasure. " ey were attacked for a reason, and that reason was intolerance toward di# erent sexual ori-entations. " is intolerance is not found in one single religion, it is found all over the world — including the United States.

In order to end these heinous hate crimes, we must admit and recognize that they exist. Yes, these victims were Americans, but they were Americans who faced pressures and violence many others nev-er will. " at is a distinction actually worth making.

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

As Americans, we must recognize the violence and inequality that LGBTQ+ citizens still face to this day and do everything we can to upli$ them. Instead of ignoring that this grave injustice speci! -cally targeted a group of marginalized people, we must stand together and unite with them during this time.

We see mass shootings occur time and time again with the same reactions — thoughts and con-dolences accompanied by incompetent inaction. As our leaders call for stricter gun control, war on terrorism or a ban on all Muslims, one paramount resolution is missing from the list: true equality — even in death.

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

Eat smarter, not harder

Michelle Reagle CONTRIBUTING EDITOR

One of the ! rst observations my friends and family made when I got o# the plane from ! ve months in Europe was unexpected, but % attering.

“Stephen, you look great!”Why? How could anyone lose weight

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

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

From the ingredients themselves — usu-ally fresher and less processed — to how Eu-ropeans eat — slower and in multiple courses — the environment made for healthier and tastier living.

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

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

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

" e usual ! ndings? Binging on high fat, high sugar and high salt products leads to do-pamine releases, creating a pleasurable feeling and reinforcing the behavior.

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

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

foods now have added sugar in them — includ-ing things like yogurt, bread and pasta sauce.

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

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

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

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

As my study abroad school’s head, a native Italian, said, “make sure you savor each $ avor.” By that mantra, Italians would likely just get wild boar salami, arugula and hot pepper olive oil in their sandwiches.

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

My head told me it was good. % e juices poured out and its texture was ! rm but had give. Yet my overly sugared tongue — more used to strawberry Jolly Ranchers than a real one — was not impressed. % e sugar rush hadn’t been tripped.

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

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

with grilled cheese for buns — we don’t respect it. Our relationship with food is an empty regard. It’s not a respect for a natural strawberry, it’s “let’s see how many $ avors we can shove into one place.”

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

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

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

How do we bring this back to America? Shop

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

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

Shopping at a food co-op — like the East End Food Co-op near Wilkinsburg — also helps support local, fresh and sustainable ingredients. Availability will vary, and a few products might be more expensive, but the improved quality will more than make up for the di# erence.

Also try to take time out to really cherish and appreciate meals. Set aside a few nights to cook. Invite friends over for dinner parties. If your ! rst attempt at homemade meatballs goes awry, your misery will enjoy the company — hopefully.

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

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

CultureKesha shows PrideLGBTQ+ advocate Kesha painted Downtown Pittsburgh rainbow at the end

of Pride in the Streets this past Saturday

Despite falling at the heart of a weekend plagued by tragedies and setbacks, Kesha’s Saturday night performance gave attend-ees of Pittsburgh PrideFest some-thing worth celebrating.

A! er waiting almost seven hours for Kesha to perform, many disappointed fans poured out of the stage area on Liberty Avenue to catch the last buses of the evening. Due to the " reworks arranged for the Pirates game that same evening, Kesha’s per-formance was delayed to prevent " reworks from going o# during her set.

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

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

on the shortlist for the past few years.

“$ ere was always some in-terest and the planets aligned and this year she said yes,” said Chris-tine Bryan, director of marketing and development for the Delta Foundation.

A sea of glittered faces and colored locks beamed up at the 29-year-old pop singer as she " nally arrived. $ e fans that en-dured the long wait belted out every lyric as they danced to Ke-sha’s upbeat party songs.

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

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

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

“Kesha’s music is all anthems.

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

Kesha is a well known LG-BTQ+ rights advocate and even received the Human Rights Cam-paign’s Visibility Award in 2015. As an ordained minister, she has also performed commitment ceremonies for gay and straight couples.

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

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

! e jigsaw jazz and get-fresh " ow of “Ode-lay” has only improved with age.

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

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

Twelve albums deep, Beck is certainly be-yond his prime — radically shi# ing his sound

for each LP has turned into retreads as of late. “Guero” and “! e Information”, both released in the mid-2000’s, live in Beck’s past while feeling calculated rather than animated, and “Morning Phase” companions his other clas-sic “Sea Change,” just with no emotional mea-sure. But in his youth, Beck conjured some peculiarly pleasing records fueled by berser k enthusiasm, and “Odelay” is his grotesque masterpiece.

On “Odelay,” — a play on the Mexican slang “órale” or “what’s up?” — the Dust Broth-ers built upon the zany, ironic jest of Beck’s thematic content and advanced it further. ! ey were able to make dazzling compositions from the lines of Beck’s insane raps and cryp-tic, catchy hooks — not unlike the formula for his unexpected breakthrough hit “Loser” just two years before — and weave them into a rich puzzle of gut-busting rock-outs, soulful beats and ear-melting noise bits.

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

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

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

Recorded in a tiny room in the Brothers’ house in the Silver Lake neighborhood of Los Angeles, the sound of “Odelay” re" ects the lo-$ environment of its conception, incorporating abrupt changes and collage-like composition. Despite generating two charting singles and peaking at 16 on the Billboard 100, the album’s sound — only made accessible at all by the Brothers’ buoyant touch — is bracing, novel and o# en bewildering.

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

! ough “Where It’s At” is perhaps Beck’s coolest song — I could listen to its $ nal 90-sec-ond jam out all day, and the main ri% is severely funky — “Hotwax” is easily the most exempla-ry track on “Odelay.” It captures the way Beck’s redneck wordplay and the Brothers’ sleek, screwy production complement and elevate each of their sounds into something con$ dent and undeniable yet completely bonkers.

shooter’s Muslim faith. Presumptive Repub-lican nominee Donald Trump reiterated his plan to ban Muslims from traveling to the United States and received signi! cant criticism from both Democratic and Republican party members. Trump also received backlash a" er tweeting that he was “right on radical Islamic terrorism” shortly a" er the shooting.

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

community. # e Islamic Center of Pittsburgh recently released a statement o$ ering condo-lences to the families of the victims.

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

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

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

Lyndsey Sickler, chair of the Gay and Les-bian Community Center of Pittsburgh, said the center is directing donations to local organiza-tions in Orlando. # e center has also set up a memorial outside its window at 210 Grant St.

“# ough we are far away from the pain and sorrow from this loss, [it] a$ ects us all. Re-gardless of the distance, we feel the hurt just as much as if we were there,” Sickler said. “Going forward, the GLCC is even more committed to our outreach and educational e$ orts to help [non-LGBTQ+] people understand, respect and love the di$ erences between us and ulti-mately create a stronger world together.”

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

“I think we all just need to be humans. We’re all people,” Fazli said. “# at’s what I think we should be categorized as.”

SportsPalmer

named All-American for third straight

year Steve RotsteinSports Editors

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

Palmer earned second-team All-America honors this season a! er falling just short of mak-ing the men’s 400 meter hurdle " nals at Wednes-day’s 2016 NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships in Eugene, Oregon. # e junior " nished his semi" nal heat in fourth place and seventh best overall with a time of 50.21, but only the top six quali" ers advanced to the " nals.

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

Pitt’s men’s 4x400 meter relay team — com-prised of Palmer, junior Brylan Slay and seniors Donnell Taylor and Chris Tate — also failed to make the " nals a! er " nishing their semi" nal heat in eighth place with a time of 3:11.55, but still earned honorable mention All-American honors.

Although no Panthers quali" ed for the na-tional " nals, Pitt head coach Alonzo Webb views this season as a step in the right direction.

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

PENS In 6Penguins win their fourth Cup, Pittsburgh celebrates in peace

With a little more than 12 minutes le! in the second period of Sunday’s NHL Final, a fan’s mighty expletive split the contempla-tive silence at Hemingway’s Cafe. # e San Jose Sharks, Sunday night’s home team, had tied Game 6 at 1-1.

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

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

# e Penguins scored shortly a! er. # e patrons of Hemingway’s went crazy. Friends and strangers alike hugged and exchanged high " ves. Hronas allowed herself a smile.

# e equalizing goal would prove to be

the game-winner, as the Penguins added a fourth series win and secured their fourth Stanley Cup.

In Oakland, fans crammed into bars to see the team play, while a viewing party gathered Downtown at Consol Energy Cen-ter, the Penguins’ home arena.

A! er the " nal horn, 15,000 fans streamed out of the center. # e city had made sure it did most of its preparations well before the " nal horn sounded — riot police stood by outside but did not have to act.

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

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

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

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

A! er Consol let out, fans raced between slowed tra$ c on Fi! h Avenue. # ey high " ved through car windows while horns — sometimes honking to the cadence of “Let’s Go Pens” — " lled the air.

Back in Oakland, Hemingway’s Cafe had opened speci" cally for the Penguins game. Normally closed on Sundays, the bar served drinks while advertising “BYOF” — bring your own food — on the chalkboard out-

side.Amid the scent of fries from the Original

Hot Dog Shop and boxes of Antoon’s pizza, David de Bruijn, a graduate student at Pitt originally from the Netherlands, watched the game in Hemingway’s with a group of friends.

“It’s great,” he said of the win. “I didn’t expect it at all this season.”

Like in D o w n t o w n and the South Side, Pitts-burgh police were present in Oakland when the game end-ed, gathering at the corner of Forbes Avenue and Bouquet Street. But a crowd never developed, and the streets remained clear.

! is was a much more subdued celebra-tion than the one that " lled Oakland a# er the Pittsburgh Steelers’ 2009 Super Bowl win, when street celebrations involving burning couches prompted Pittsburgh City Council to pass a city ordinance banning indoor furniture from porches.

! e Department of Public Works crews enforced the law Wednesday ahead of a pos-sible cup-clinching Game 5 ! ursday night, gathering up any furnishings in violation and impounding them.

“! e less fuel that’s out there, the better o$ we will be,” Costa said.

! e mayor’s o% ce, which Costa works under, said residents can pick up their pos-sessions at the Public Works’ Division 3 of-" ce, located at 88 Swinburne St.

Bryce Cooper, a senior biology and phi-losophy major, and Kedar Madi, a bioengi-neering major, were both enjoying the game at Hemingway’s but didn’t plan on partaking in any celebrations a# erwards.

“I have work tomorrow,” Madi explained.Still, they

didn’t rule out c e l e br at i on s later in the week.

“I’ll de" -nitely hit the parade,” Cooper said, which the city is planning for Wednesday.

R a c h e l Pardo, a s o p h o m o r e pre-pharma-cy student at Duquesne U n i v e r s i t y ,

went with her friends Downtown to watch the game and were caught up in the celebra-tions.

“I just think it’s great how we all just stick together, no matter what sport it is,” Pardo said. “It’s not just the Penguins’ cup, it’s Pittsburgh’s cup.”

Sunday night captured the energy that has made de Bruijn, while far from home, enjoy his six years studying in the Steel City.

“! is is when Pittsburgh is most Pitts-burgh,” de Bruijn said.
