Habitat for Humanity dedicates finished house to family

By KATIE MEST News Editor K.A.Mest@iup.edu

IUP’s Habitat for Humanity joined other volunteers Saturday in dedicating a house in Kittanning they had worked on for about a year to its new family.

Sara Bowser and her children, Haley and Gavin, opened their half-moved-into house to neighbors, volunteers, family members, friends and local Habitat for Humanity members to show off the finished product.

Tom Harley, president of UpStreet Architects designed the building.

The insulation was comprised of recycled paper, and the windows in the living room were designed to keep the room cool in the summer and warm in the winter, he said.

Harley based his design on the Passive House criteria, which is a standard set to increase energy efficiency in buildings, and he said he appreciates the extra effort by the builders to make it a reality.

“It’s an amazing effort for the community to build a building like this,” Harley said.

The dedication began with a

He thanked the volunteers that assisted with the build.

A group of 150 high school students from WoodsWork mis-

sions team from Woods Memorial Presbyterian Church in Severna Park, Md., worked on two different houses in the area.

Also, campus Habitat for Humanity chapters from IUP and the University of Pittsburgh volunteered their efforts.

“IUP kind of adopted this house,” McElhaney said. “The college volunteers were the driving force for us.”

The dedication continued with Andrew Laddusaw, president of Armstrong Habitat and pastor of Living Water Church in Kittanning,

Marchers emphasize struggle, resolve on ‘Bloody Sunday’ anniversary weekend

Police Blotter Burglary

By SARAH D. WIRE

• Someone reportedly broke a large window, entered a business and took a 24-inch glass water pipe at 3 a.m. March 4 at 808 Wayne Ave., according to the Indiana Borough Police Department. Anyone with information about the incident should contact borough police at 724-349-2121.

Tribune Washington Bureau TNS

A single refrain rang out Sunday at an event to remember civil rights marchers who were teargassed and beaten 53 years ago this weekend by club-wielding officers in Selma, Ala.: The work isn’t over.

The annual event, which commemorates the demonstration that led to passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, was far smaller than the 50th anniversary event in 2015 attended by presidents and more than 100 members of Congress. But at a time when protests for black rights and women’s rights have become routine again in American life, speakers and attendees consistently said there is still much to do.

“I hear too many people say we fell back,” said Amie Evans, 72, of Birmingham. “We’ve got a long way to come. We’ve got to rebuild what we’ve done.”

Rep. John Lewis, D-Ga., who was the first person struck on “Bloody Sunday,” urged members of Congress attending Sunday worship at Brown Chapel AME Church to reinstate the section of the Voting Rights Act struck down by the U.S. Supreme Court in 2013 that set a formula for the federal government to use to identify jurisdictions with a history of racial discrimination in voting.

“People died here.

People gave blood here,” Lewis said. “The vote is precious. Make it easy, make it simple.”

NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund President Sherrilyn Ifill told those who had gathered at the church, the same church where organizers planned and launched the march that came to be known as Bloody Sunday, that they have a responsibility now more than ever to be involved and be educated.

“This is about work. This is not just about commemoration, it is about work,” Ifill said. “This is our moment. This is our civil rights movement.”

The commemorative event began 25 years ago as a reminder of a pivotal moment in the civil rights era, when law enforcement

Drug Violation

• William Reed, 22, of Blairsville, reportedly possessed 1/2 pound of marijuana, a large sum of money and other items to sell marijuana and was charged with possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance and possession of a small amount of marijuana at 4:35 p.m. March 4 in the 100 block of North Sixth Street, according to borough police.

Hit and Run

used billy clubs and horses to halt marchers at the end of the Edmund Pettus Bridge as they began a march from Selma to Montgomery to petition for easier access to the ballot box.

The photos of marchers bloodied or unconscious led to a public outcry, and Congress passed the Voting Rights Act later that year.

Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., who is thought to be considering a presidential bid in 2020, was front and center for several events Sunday, and at a breakfast Sunday morning called protesting a form of patriotism.

levels of incarceration.

“We are indeed living yet again in difficult times,” Harris said.

“When it looks impossible ... look to Selma for inspiration.”

While President Donald Trump’s name was rarely mentioned specifically, and the delegation of representatives who attended the speech were bipartisan, speakers hinted heavily at his policies all day.

A women’s rights group and a group of “Dreamers,” people brought to the country illegally as children who are seeking legal status, joined the hundreds of people lining up to march over the Pettus Bridge.

Rep. Terri A. Sewell, D-Ala., said there is “unfinished business of civil rights and voting rights” and “there’s still much work to be done” as long as there is a ban on travel from certain Middle Eastern countries in place, the criminal justice system needs reforming and the Voting Rights Act remains toothless.

“It is never lost on me that while we have a ‘Kumbaya’ moment on that bridge, we come back to Washington, D.C., and we do absolutely nothing to restore the Voting Rights Act,” Sewell said. “Change rarely happens in the halls of Congress. Change happens on the ground through grass-roots activism.”

WE ARE INDEED LIVING YET AGAIN IN DIFFICULT TIMES. — SEN. KAMALA HARRIS (D-CALIF.) “It is about being a patriot because it is about a love of country and fighting for the best of who we can be,” Harris said. “That’s what this movement has always been about, fighting for the ideals of the country we love.”

Harris spoke about facing and combating drug use, gun violence, immigration fights and high

Anyone with information about the incident should contact borough police.

Alcohol Violation

Powerful East Coast storm kills 9 and leaves millions without power

By MICHAEL LIVINGSTON Los Angeles Times TNS

A powerful winter storm that pummeled the Northeast, killing at least nine and leaving two million homes and businesses without power, unleashed heavy rain and snow but inflicted its deadliest damage with fierce winds.

The death toll had stood at eight until Saturday night, when police in Andover, N.J., reported that a man was killed after coming in contact with downed power lines.

Four people died when winds toppled trees onto vehicles; those killed were a 57-year-old man in Upper Merion Township, Pa.; a 25-year-old man in Stamford, Conn.; a 37-year-old man in Plympton, Mass.; and an 11-year-old boy in Putnam Valley, N.Y. In Chester, Va., a 6-year-old boy died when a tree crushed him while he slept in his bed.

“This storm was a high-end wind event for the East Coast.

There were power outages from the wind alone,” said Walter Drag, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in New Jersey.

In Sussex County, N.J., “some people won’t be getting power until March 7, maybe as late as the 9th,” Drag said.

It’s the most wind damage seen on the East Coast since Hurricane Sandy in 2012, he said.

In Massachusetts, the main concern was flooding.

On Friday, wind gusts whipped through Massachusetts and Rhode Island as fast as 93 mph, according to National Weather Service meteorologist Lenore Correia in Boston. Streets in Boston and the nearby suburb of Quincy looked like rivers. Authorities rescued hundreds of people who either ignored or delayed in heeding evacuation notices.

Some flocked to hotels, like the Comfort Inn in Quincy, where general manager Homer Borromeo said they have been at full capacity since Friday.

“We’re always equipped for busy times. We were preparing for the storm last week,” he said.

The hotel did have a power outage early Saturday, but electricity was restored within two hours, Borromeo said.

Five units of the Massachusetts National Guard helped rescue people in the city, and video showed rescuers walking through waist-high water.

(TNS) A tree near the Washington Monument tilted in the windstorm Friday in Washington, D.C., as strong winds, heavy rain, surging waves and sporadic snow wreaked havoc across the East Coast over the weekend.

Quincy Mayor Thomas P. Koch released periodic statements on YouTube, updating the city of about 93,000 residents on damage and rescue efforts. “It’s been a rough several days, I know, for a lot of folks,” he said in one video update. “We still have 5,700 people out of power.”

The city has 8 miles of sea walls, and they will have to be inspected carefully, along with water mains and sewer lines, he said. “We’re pretty concerned about some roads that have taken a beating,” he said.

Koch also described a visit to an evacuation shelter Friday night and shared how one family described the storm. “They were just in the house and a wave of water just actually knocked a wall right out of the house, and they lost everything.”

Hundreds of miles south in Maryland, the majority of the incidents in Prince George’s County were wind-related, said Mark Brady, the county fire department’s spokesman.

“Everything worked in our favor except for the high volume of calls,” Brady said. Fire departments in the county usually experience 400 calls for service a day.

On Friday the county saw more than 1,000 calls.

Drag said that another storm is anticipated for next week, but that it’s too early to determine its direction or whether it will develop into another massive storm.

Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan, Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker and Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam announced states of emergencies

Friday.

“We are continuing to see a number of serious accidents on bridges and roadways, and power outages throughout the state,” Hogan said in a statement.

The storm hit Friday and weakened Saturday as it headed out to sea. In Boston winds died down significantly to 15 mph, with the rain having stopped between midnight and 2 a.m.

More than 600 flights within the U.S. had been canceled by late afternoon Saturday, according to the flight-tracking website FlightAware. Boston Logan International, Philadelphia International and John F. Kennedy and LaGuardia airports in New York saw the most cancellations.

Amtrak canceled service to and from Boston, the District of Columbia and New York on Friday

for what the company on Twitter called “hazardous conditions.”

Trains resumed service Saturday with modified schedules.

Thousands of messages flooded the Twitter handles of Amtrak, Delta Airlines and other transportation companies with complaints, questions and demands for refunds and clarity.

LaGuardia Airport reported more than 600 cancellations Friday afternoon. A viral video on Twitter showed winds blowing hard enough to lift a portion of a hangar’s roof.

In New York, Gov. Andrew Cuomo ordered emergency operations centers to open from Long Island to Buffalo. Snowfall in New York ranged from 10 to 20 inches, and more than 300,000 people were without power.

The nor’easter’s reach extended from Maine to North Carolina, where the state’s Outer Banks received storm and flood warnings.

In the beach town of Nags Head, authorities warned of moderate to severe flooding but that didn’t seem to deter some residents.

Peyton Gwinn, a hostess at the seafood restaurant Tortugas Lie in Nags Head, said, “We’ve been busy for the past couple of days ... nothing’s stopped us or our customers, yet.”

CA appreciates time with his residents before moving on

By JEREMY STOUT Staff Writer J.W.Stout2@iup.edu

Roy Lynn (junior, social studies education) is a community assistant (CA) who puts his all into his residents at Suites on Pratt.

He also attended the National Association of College University Residence Halls annual conference at Purdue University last year.

It’s a conference where residency advisors from across the country meet to discuss how to better create an ideal and diverse learning environment for those living on campus.

“I went and talked about ways to improve legislation to make the process better and how to improve residence life,” Lynn said.

“It’s always nice to see leaders from across the country and to see what other people are doing in residence halls.”

Lynn saw the experience as a way to improve how he runs his

residency better.

Lynn’s desire to become a CA started when he was a freshman.

“I became a CA because I had a really great group of CAs when I was a freshman,” Lynn said.

“It inspired me to want to take on that responsibility.”

Lynn said it was also a good way for him to get a head start on learning for his future role as a teacher.

After two years of being a CA, this is Lynn’s last year since he will student teach his senior year. He views his time as a CA as something that expanded his knowledge, but that it’s time to move on.

“I take as much as I can get from a situation and then want to pass it along to the next group of people,” Lynn said.

“My time of giving to the position is running out … It’s one of those things that nobody can do for too long without getting kind of exhausted.”

Lynn said his interest in teaching comes from him feeling that he can give a lot back to students.

“I had such a great education growing up,” Lynn said. “That’s something I want to do for children – to make learning fun.”

Lynn said his interest in social studies education comes not just from having a “knack” for history but also a sense that it’s a particular area that’s lacking in the education system.

“There’s a lack of motivation, and [social studies] is getting left behind by STEM,” Lynn said.

Lynn said he wants to enter teaching a diverse area and has plans to go to a more urban area of Colorado after graduating.

“It makes the classroom experience all the better for the students,” Lynn said.

“When students hear perspectives from other students, it makes them reconsider their own and grow as civic individuals and learners.”

Paul Ryan urges Trump to reverse himself on planned tariffs

By CATHLEEN DECKER Los Angeles Times TNS

House Speaker Paul D. Ryan publicly broke with President Donald Trump on Monday, the latest Republican to call on the president to reverse his planned imposition of tariffs on steel and aluminum imports that many fear could set off a trade war.

“We are extremely worried about the consequences of a trade war and are urging the White House to not advance with this plan,” said AshLee Strong, Ryan’s spokeswoman. “The new tax reform law has boosted the economy and we certainly don’t want to jeopardize those gains.”

Trump stunned Congress last week when, without apparent consultation with members of his staff, Republican leaders or trading partners, he announced that he would impose 25 percent tariffs

on steel imports and 10 percent penalties on aluminum imports.

Trump campaigned on punishing China and other selected nations he said were destroying U.S. producers with cheaper imports.

Administration officials said after Trump’s initial announcement that the tariffs would be imposed across the board to both allies like Canada and economic competitors like China.

The president’s abrupt announcement came before any paperwork was finalized laying out the tariffs, which he insisted were a national security necessity.

The delay in officially mandating new rules has led to a dayslong effort to press him to change his mind – particularly among Republicans who have championed free trade.

“Trade wars are never won.

Trade wars are lost by both sides,” Sen. Ben Sasse, R-Neb., said last week.

How we spend spring break

OPINION 1. Editor-in-Chief, Chris Hayes

fully, I’ll do well on my internship interview also.

This spring break will consist of me sitting on my couch and trying to find jobs for after graduation. Luckily, a highlight of the break will be going up to Hershey with some other members of The Penn staff and receiving a couple Keystone Awards we won.

2. Managing Editor, Alexandria Mansfield

This spring break is actually going to be the busiest one I’ve ever had. I have a bridal shower, baby shower, wedding dress fitting and job interview within five days of each other. Very relaxing, as you can tell. I’m hoping I have a little bit of time to finish reading the same book I’ve been reading since December...or at least making it further than page 140.

3. Copy Editor, Nathan Zisk

Spring break is great. I have a lot of plans that may seem just normal to some, but I have three jobs, school, an organization to run and I freelance write.

So to me, it is going to be heavenly.

I plan to catch up on school work as well as freelance writing. I will also see my dog, Toby. He’s an idiot, but I love him. And I might do some caving in Kentucky and Tennessee if I have the time. I enjoy hanging in Nashville, Tenn., so I hope I have the time. All-in-all, spring break should be just what I need.

4. News Editor, Katie Mest

I’ll be cuddling with my dog mostly. She’s the love of my life, and being four hours away from her is awful.

Besides that, I’ll catch up on some work (translation: take lots of naps). Hope-

5. Culture Editor, Seth Woolcock

Spring break means no classes and no work for a whole week. I’ll be taking the time to de-stress, decompress and prepare for the second half of the semester. Hopefully the weather breaks and allows me to hit some trails and parks before returning back to class.

6. Sports Editor, Sean Fritz

Spring break is the time to either relax or travel somewhere to enjoy a vacation. For me, I’ll be relaxing from a busy and hectic first half of the semester. I need to get some things together back home and relax for a week before coming back. I’m looking forward to it.

7. Photo Editor, James Neuhausel

This spring break will consist of me going out with some high school friends I haven’t seen in a while and playing some “Siege.” It has been a long semester up until this point, so I am looking forward to having a week to just unwind.

8. Graphic Designer, Michael Hull

I’ll be spending my spring break in Germany, France and Netherlands. I plan on eating pretzels, baguettes and brownies.

9. Digital Media Editor, Katie Williams

I’m going to find the fluffiest couch that I can and “take a nap” that won’t end until spring break is over. And I’ll probably still be tired.

Social justice movements return to the Oscars

By LAITH ZURAIKAT Staff Writer Laith.Zuraikat@iup.edu

This article contains opinion.

Two years ago, the Academy Awards, supposed to highlight outstanding film achievements, was overshadowed by lack of diversity representation in Hollywood. The social media hashtag #OscarsSoWhite was trending.

Two years later, the Oscars once again faced the prospect of another social cause overshadowing the glitz and glamour of the night. This year, the hashtags #MeToo and #TimesUp trended on social media, bringing attention to sexual abuse and equality in Hollywood.

Despite the controversy sur-

rounding the night, as they say in the industry, “The show must go on,” and so it did.

Host Jimmy Kimmel started the night by addressing these movements and the actions that led to them. However, Kimmel stressed that the show should not focus solely on the negative, but rather the progress made toward gender and racial equality in Hollywood and the outstanding works nominated.

The first award of the night went to Sam Rockwell for his work as a supporting actor in “Three Billboards Outside of Ebbing, Missouri.” In his acceptance speech, Rockwell managed to throw in a rather funny thank you to “anyone who has ever looked at a billboard” to go along with the usual thanks to his family and cast members.

Some more predictable winners included Best Costume Design going to “The Phantom Thread,” which made sense since the movie’s main character is a renowned fashion designer.

“The Shape of Water” won Best Production Design. Helmed by Director Guillermo Del Toro, “The Shape of Water” mixed fantasy and reality in a similar way to “Pan’s Labyrinth,” another of his films, which won the same honor at the 2007 Oscars.

While “Blade Runner 2049” may not have achieved the cult status its predecessor did, it managed to improve upon the first film in the series by picking up the award for Best Visual Effects, an award the original “Blade Runner” lost in 1983.

The ceremony showed its

appreciation for several sportsthemed pieces this year, as Kobe Bryant’s “Dear Basketball” won Best Animated Short, and the documentary “Icarus,” which helped expose systematic doping practices of the Russian sports community, also won in its category.

The winner for Best Supporting Actress was Allison Janney for her role as Tonya Harding’s mother in the dark comedy “I, Tonya.”

Del Toro won Best Director for “The Shape of Water,” becoming the fourth Mexican director in the last five years to win the award.

The main acting awards were predictable with pre-show favorite Gary Oldman being awarded Best Actor for his impressive transformation into Sir Winston Churchill in “Darkest Hour.” Frances McDormand won Best Actress for her

passionate performance in “Three Billboards.”

Capping off the trend of favorites taking home the main spoils, Del Toro returned to the stage to collect the award for Best Picture for “The Shape of Water.”

Despite all the efforts to focus on strides the industry made toward greater diversity and representation, for the most part, the majority of this year’s winners remained white and male.

Although, a notable exception to this trend was Jordan Peele, who won Best Original Screenplay for “Get Out,” making him the first black screenwriter to win the award. Peele’s win provided hope that future ceremonies may provide greater acknowledgement for the outstanding work of lessrepresented populations.

Heading home or heading out: Get spring break rocking

heroes who will be heading back to the stomping ground of their glory days over break. See some old friends, relive some good memories and be happy to be back in town.

Culture Editor S.M.Woolcock@iup.edu

This article contains opinion.

Following the conclusion of classes Friday, IUP students will set out on spring break. For some, it is their first spring break. For others, it’s their last. And for many, they’re somewhere in between.

No matter if you’ll be taking a trip, getting back to your roots or holding down the fort in Indiana, music is always essential. This one’s for you guys.

Good Old Days (feat. Kesha) – Macklemore (2017): Anywhere

you are over the break, keep in mind, you’re in college only once, and you’re young only once. Even though you may not have had enough money to go on that epic spring break you imagined, as Kesha says, “One day these will be the good old days.”

Pursuit of Happiness – Kid Cudi (2009): One thing that most (Facebook) Luke Bryan’s “Suntan City” and Mac Miller’s “PA Nights” are tunes appropriate for spring break.

Something to Ride To – Jake Owen (2018): In his newest single, Owen asks the small-town DJ to “give him something to ride to.”

So if you’re like Owen and need a song to forget about life to, grab your keys and fire up this country jam.

Ocean Avenue – Yellowcard (2003): Whether you’re hitting the waves over break or not, if you’re trying to get away, this

2000’s rock throwback might just take you there.

Suntan City – Luke Bryan (2013): Even though it’s been

a few years since Bryan called it quits performing during spring break, this song has been an anthem for spring breaks everywhere since its release.

The Boys Are Back In Town – Thin Lizzy (1976): This one goes out to all of those hometown

students will be doing over break is trying to sit back and relax. Take the time to take some weight off your shoulders and keep on the pursuit of happiness with this classic Cudi jam.

Up Down (feat. Florida Georgia Line) – Morgan Wallen (2017): What spring break

would be complete without party country rock duo Florida Georgia Line? FGL mixed with up-andcoming artist Morgan Wallen can “turn this parking lot into a party with an ice chest, dancing, cold beer, man, we live it up, down, up, down.”

The Way Life Goes (feat. Oh Wonder) – Lil Uzi Vert (2017):

This 2017 can make some students look back at past semesters at IUP because of Philidelphia rapper Lil Uzi Vert’s homecoming performance last fall.

PA Nights – Mac Miller (2011):

The carefully crafted lyrics of Pittsburgh rap legend Mac Miller on this track has the ability to put anyone in a better mood and appreciate the Keystone state a little more. It’s a must-add for sure.

Beachin’ - Jake Owen (2013):

Owen makes his scond appearance on the list for good reason.

His 2013 hit is the perfect listen for anyone lying back and cracking a cold one. It doesn’t matter if you’re sitting on the beach in Florida or in a camping chair at your local lake, this one does the trick.

Fox will finally air 2006 O.J. Simpson ‘If I Did It’ interview

By KATE FELDMAN New York Daily News TNS

(Facebook) Sally Potter directed and wrote “The Party.”

British comic-drama ‘The Party’ celebrates its characters’ flaws

By COLIN COVERT

Star Tribune (Minneapolis) TNS

“The Party,” a stinging examination of British social values and anxieties, plays like a cynical round of musical chairs. Director and screenwriter Sally Potter whips her splendid cast through a sophisticated dinner soiree, knocking down one worldly character after another with exposures of their personal failings.

Framed in the single space of a posh London residence and running a trim 71 minutes, this chamber piece creates a sense of comic claustrophobia that entraps the characters but ends just before it snares the audience as well.

We are certainly on Potter’s mind, drawing us into the dramatic prologue that opens the film.

An unseen character – by implication, the viewer – arrives at the home of Kristin Scott Thomas (an Oscar nominee for “The English Patient” and a BAFTA – or British Oscar – nominee for her role as Clementine Churchill in “Darkest Hour”). She welcomes us with furious eyes and a pistol aimed point-blank at our skull.

Before she can pull the trigger, we flash back to the mannerly beginning of the evening. Potter’s smoothly roaming camera carries us through the gathering much as an unseen guest might move through the increasingly awkward situation.

Scott Thomas plays Janet, whose progressive ideals have powered her through a successful political career and an upcoming appointment as shadow minister for health. On a personal level, her commitment to keeping everything in good shape is uncertain.

While her husband, Bill (Timothy

Spall, “Mr. Turner”), is ailing at a rate that deserves attention, she spends a lot of time in other rooms, phoning her unidentified lover.

Early to arrive is Janet’s stilettotongued political pal April (Patricia Clarkson at full boil). The evening will be her “last supper” with her longtime boyfriend Gottfried (German icon Bruno Ganz, making this character as lovable as he made Hitler loathsome in “Downfall”).

Then there’s the married couple Martha (Cherry Jones) and Jinny (Emily Mortimer), whose artificial insemination has finally worked.

A bit too well, perhaps. Jinny announces that she’s carrying triplets.

Also arriving is Tom (Cillian Murphy), a banker whose wife is inexplicably delayed. Tom needs to visit the bathroom repeatedly to self-medicate with nostrils full of white powder, which makes his conversation quiver. His hands also shiver, which makes his decision to carry a pistol into the party shaky indeed.

While the guests champion liberal dogma and pitch New Age methods to improve humanity, these are infighting, comically flawed characters. Everyone is abandoning an inconvenient relationship openly, secretly or shortly.

Their views are often absurd. When Jinny learns that Martha had a boyfriend in college, she gasps, “You had a male inside you?” The odds are good that she’s carrying a male inside her at the moment, but that’s a different matter.

Everyone here is active misinforming others or misleading themselves. Shot in strikingly handsome black and white, this is a wry, jaded look at groupthink and individual folly.

More than a decade late, Fox will finally air a special interview with O.J. Simpson.

“O.J. Simpson: The Lost Confession,” will focus on an interview with the former Buffalo Bills running back and accused murderer, originally done in 2006 with Judith Regan to promote his book “If I Did It.” Hosted by Soledad O’Brien, the special will be “no-holdsbarred,” according to Fox, and Simpson “in his own words, offers a detailed – and disturbing – description of what might have happened on that fateful night of June 12, 1994.”

That night, Simpson was arrested in connection with the murders of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman. In the so-called “trial of the century,” Simpson

was found not guilty.

The interview was axed at the time by Fox boss Rupert Murdoch after criticism from the families of Brown and Goldman, relatives who are now on board, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

The special will air with do-

mestic-violence awareness PSAs during its limited commercial breaks, according to Variety.

“O.J. Simpson: The Lost Confession” airs March 11 at 8 p.m./7 p.m. Central, opposite the premiere of ABC’s “American Idol,” which used to air on Fox.

‘Fuller House’ showrunner Jeff Franklin out amid claims of inappropriate behavior

By RACHEL DESANTIS New York Daily News TNS

“Fuller House” showrunner Jeff Franklin is out at the Netflix reboot amid reported claims of inappropriate behavior.

“We are not renewing Jeff Franklin’s production deal and he will no longer be working on Fuller House,” Warner Bros. TV confirmed in a statement.

The ouster comes as the popular series – which reunited the San Francisco “Full House” Tanner family – heads into its fourth season.

Franklin’s behavior was not sexual in nature, Variety reports, but he stands accused of verbally abusing his writing room staffers and making lewd comments about his personal life, including his personal relationships and sex life.

Variety also reports he would frequently bring women he

dated to set and occasionally cast them in the show, which drew further complaints from staffers.

His behavior was reportedly brought to the attention of Warner Bros. executives more than two years ago in a letter that outlined his misdeeds and warned that he was a “lawsuit waiting to happen.”

In addition to his “Fuller House” duties, Franklin was also the creator and executive producer of its origin series “Full

House,” which ran on ABC from 1987 to 1995.

In an Instagram post, Franklin said he was “heartbroken” to leave “Fuller House.”

“Creating and running ‘Full House’ and ‘Fuller House’ has been the greatest joy. I wish the cast, my second family for over 30 years, continued success. I’m so proud of all we accomplished together, and beyond grateful to our loyal fans,” he wrote. “Adios Tanneritos!”

Former James Franco student sues over ‘The Disaster Artist’

By DAVID NG

Los Angeles Times TNS

A former student of James Franco who took one of the star’s classes at UCLA is suing over “The Disaster Artist,” claiming that the movie’s production company failed to live up to its agreement with him as an uncredited screenwriter on the project.

Ryan Moody alleges in his complaint filed Wednesday in Los Angeles County Superior Court that he sold his screenplay for “The Disaster Artist” to Franco’s production company, Rabbit Bandini Productions, for only $5,000 in exchange for being credited as an associate producer and working as writer and director on a similarly budgeted, future movie project that would be in the $5-million to $10-million range.

But Moody said in his complaint that he was never properly credited on “The Disaster Artist” and that Rabbit Bandini reduced the budget of the future project – a movie titled “On the Bus” – to just $50,000.

The lawsuit also names Point Grey Pictures, the film production company founded by actor Seth

(TNS) James and Dave Franco star in “The Disaster Artist.”

Rogen and his business partner Evan Goldberg. Point Grey served as one of the production companies on “The Disaster Artist.”

An attorney for Franco didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. Point Grey also didn’t immediately reply to queries.

“The Disaster Artist,” which Franco directed and stars in, opened in cinemas in December to critical acclaim. The comedy tells the behind-the-scenes story of Tommy Wiseau’s “The Room,” widely considered to be one of the worst movies ever made.

Franco’s movie is adapted from

the 2013 nonfiction book “The Disaster Artist: My Life Inside The Room, the Greatest Bad Movie Ever Made.”

Moody claims in his suit that he delivered five drafts of “The Disaster Artist” between 2013 and 2014, but that in April 2014, Franco told him he was hiring more “established” writers. The movie’s credited writers – Scott Neustadter and Michael H. Weber – have been nominated for the Academy Award for adapted screenplay.

Moody also contends that the finished movie contains elements from his screenplay that weren’t in

Newly Remodeled New Furniture New Kitchens New Bathrooms

the original book.

The new lawsuit comes after Franco faced accusations from five women that the star engaged in inappropriate or sexually exploitative behavior. The accusers include former students who took classes led by Franco.

Franco’s attorney, Michael Plonsker, disputed all the women’s allegations.

The writer recounts in the complaint that he took a class led

by Franco titled “Adaptation and Collaboration” at UCLA and later served as the actor’s teaching assistant.

At the time, Moody was a master of fine arts candidate in

directing at the UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television.

He alleges in the complaint that he initially balked at selling his screenplay for “The Disaster Artist” for a mere $5,000, but was pressured to do so by Franco’s producing partner Vince Jolivette, Rabbit Bandini executive Iris Torres and Point Grey’s James Weaver.

In addition to unspecified punitive damages, he is seeking to rescind the purchase agreement he made for his screenplay for “The Disaster Artist.”

The movie, which was released by indie distributor A24, has grossed more than $21 million domestically.

Crimson Hawks receive bid for NCAA Tournament

The IUP women’s basketball team lost to Millersville University, 89-86, in triple overtime in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) tournament semifinals Saturday.

The Crimson Hawks fell in a thriller that went down to the last possession in the fourth quarter and all three overtimes.

Guard Lauren Wolosik (junior, business) sent the game into the first overtime after hitting a jump shot to tie the game at 63 with 30 seconds remaining. A big defensive stop by Maura D’Anna (sophomore, kinesiology) forced time to expire and kept the Marauders off the board.

The Crimson Hawks trailed Millerville nearly the entire second overtime, but not before they sank two free throws to tie the game at

69 to force a second overtime.

The second overtime was controlled by IUP until Millersville hit a go-ahead layup to take a 77-75 lead with less than 40 seconds to go. Megan Smith (senior, management) hit two free throws with 10 seconds left to tie the game.

IUP forced a turnover with short time, but the Crimson Hawks couldn’t connect on a game-winning basket. The third overtime began with each team exchanging 3-pointers before the Marauders took a 6-point lead.

Audrey Stapleton (senior, kinesiology) hit a pair of 3-pointers to

bring the Crimson Hawks to a 8786 deficit with 20 seconds left.

After allowing a pair of free throws, the Crimson Hawks did not convert on a game-tying 3-pointer and force a fourth overtime. Smith led IUP in scoring with 28 points.

Carolyn Appleby (junior, safety sciences) finished with 15 points while D’Anna posted a double-double with 11 points and 11 rebounds.

Halle Denman (senior, food and nutrition) led the Crimson Hawks on the defensive end with a season-high of five steals.

Moving forward, the Crimson Hawks will take on another PSAC

foe in the Atlantic Region Tournament’s opening round.

IUP will take on California University of Pennsylvania (Cal U).

IUP has a 2-0 record against the Vulcans and looks to redeem its third loss of the season Friday.

“I’m so excited for our team to be playing in regionals this upcoming weekend,” Smith said.

“I think playing Cal U in the first round will be a good match up for us because we are familiar with their style of play and were successful against them last time. I’m confident we will be ready to play good IUP basketball.”

IUP sends two swimmers to nationals

By SARAH MOLTZ Staff Writer

S.J.Moltz@iup.edu

IUP’s juniors Regan Chalk (psychology) and Nicole Smith (dietetics) were selected to compete in the 2018 National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division II Swimming Championships after their record-breaking performances at the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Championships Feb. 21-24.

This will be Chalk and Smith’s first national championship appearance in their collegiate swimming careers. They are the first IUP swimmers to advance since 2015.

“I was actually swimming when the selection sheets were released,” Chalk said. “Our coaches took forever to come out of the office. The anticipation was killing me. I wanted to throw up.”

Chalk was selected to compete in the 200 butterfly. She hit the NCAA Division II B-cut time in the 200 butterfly last weekend in conference championships, with a time of 2:04.64 in time trials. Chalk said she never thought she would be selected for nationals.

“I wasn’t super close in anything,” Chalk said. “I had a really good 200 butterfly during practice, and the coaches said ‘Lets time trial at conference championships’, but I never thought I’d be selected.”

Assistant coach Adam Stoner said that achieving an invite to the

(IUP Athletics) Nicole Smith (junior, dietetics) will appear at the national swimming championships after she posted four B-cut times and placed first in two seperate events at the PSAC Championships.

NCAA Championships is no small accomplishment.

“Regan has been striving for B cuts in her events all season and achieving her cut at the PSAC meet,” Stoner said. “Being invited to the national meet is an exciting honor.”

For Smith, her selection to nationals was not as surprising, as she posted four B-cut times, broke her own school record and placed first in two events last weekend.

“Last year, I missed making nationals by one spot, which made things tough considering I was so close,” Smith said. “I knew af-

“We are currently practicing twice a day, trying to build up our yardage before we begin taper at the end of next week,” Chalk said.

“However, for me personally, I’m just trying to train like it’s another PSAC because that worked pretty well for me the first time.

I’m also just trying to stay focused mentally, but also not trying to put too much pressure on myself.

It’s just a dream right now to even be going. So I’m not going to let

ter, that if I could swim faster than those previous times, I would have a really good shot at making it this year.”

After swimming 1:49.90 in the 200 freestyle, Smith had a pretty good idea that she was going.

“Honestly, it was still all up in the air until that event for me,” Smith said.

Smith will be competing in the 50, 100 and 500 freestyle at the championships.

“After Nicole was selected as the 10th alternate last year, we are very excited,” Stoner said.

Chalk and Smith both agreed that they wouldn’t have gotten where they are now without the continued support from their teammates and coaches.

“Both young women worked so hard for three straight years at IUP and are continuing to do so as we prepare for next week,” Stoner said. “Coach Chris Villa and I are proud of how they have handled the anticipation and their continued efforts to prepare for more racing with the fastest women in the country for Division II women’s swimming.”

The Crimson Hawks lost the opportunity to secure their own spot in the tournament after an early exit from the PSAC tournament in Wednesday’s loss to Edinboro University. In need of some assistance from the NCAA, IUP did not recieve the bid to the tournament, which means its season is over. It is just the second time in the last 10 seasons that the men’s basketball team failed to secure a spot in the NCAA Tournament. The team finished its season with an overall record of 22-8 and was the PSAC West champion.

Flyers’ defenseman hosts Stoneman Douglas hockey team

By MATTHEW DEFRANKS Sun Sentinel TNS

Flyers defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere attended Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School when he was a Pembroke Pines-born, hockey-playing teenager.

So when Philadelphia made its first visit to Sunrise since 17 people were killed at the school on Feb. 14, Gostisbehere hosted the school's hockey team on Sunday.

Last weekend, Stoneman Douglas' club hockey team won the state title, punching its ticket to nationals.

"It was definitely special," Gostisbehere said. "Just to get their minds off all the bad stuff that's happened in the past couple weeks and put some fun in their lives and just shoot the stuff. Ob-

viously, them winning brings the community together."

Earlier this season, Gostisbehere honored Stoneman Douglas by wearing a helmet decal that read "MSD Strong." He conducted postgame interviews Sunday wearing a backward Stoneman Douglas hat. Then he met with the entire team before the Flyers left South Florida.

"It's the least I could do," Gostisbehere said. "I've got to thank the Panthers for setting it up and obviously the Flyers for going with it. Obviously, it's just something to take their minds off. They've had a rough past couple of weeks here, just something to take their minds off of something and have some laughs."

Gostisbehere did not graduate from Stoneman Douglas, instead leaving after two years to play hockey at South Kent Prep in Con-

necticut.

He is one of just five Floridaborn NHL players this season.

Last Sunday, Stoneman Douglas won two games to win the state championship in Estero.

They beat East Lake, 3-1, then Tampa Jesuit, 7-4.

When the Panthers played their first home game since the shooting against the Washington Capitals on Feb. 22, the team invited the Stoneman Douglas club team.

Panthers players met with them after the game and later expressed pride in their state championship.

"Just to get their minds off so many negatives and turn it into positive, it's good," Gostisbehere said.

"It's definitely awesome. Obviously, they won the state title.

Hopefully, they can turn it into a national title when they're going to Minnesota."

(TNS) Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere celebrated a goal earlier in the season against the New York Islanders.
