City launches redevelopment for West Oakland, Uptown

Lauren Wilson Staff Writer

If the ideas they wrote on sticky notes are any indication, residents of Uptown and West Oakland know exactly what they want in their neighborhoods. On chalkboards, large maps and interactive cardboard charts, Uptown and Oakland residents told City planners Thursday they want less parking spaces and more community spaces, like gardens and parks. More than 200 Oakland and Uptown

residents and business owners attended an eco-innovation district launch party at 300 Gist St. from 6 to 9 p.m., an event that kicked off the city government’s redevelopment efforts in the Uptown and West Oakland neighborhoods. Though the city is in the planning stages right now, Oakland Planning Development Corporation, City Planning and Uptown Partners hosted the event, where residents expressed excitement over the possibility of new businesses and restored See Redevelopment on page 2

Sociologist explores gender at high school Lianna Rana

For The Pitt News `In a Pittsburgh public high school, girls and boys spent a school year segregated. Sara Goodkind, a sociology professor in the Gender, Sexuality and Women’s Studies department at Pitt, learned through student interviews that the gender-segregated classes led to internalized sexism and inappropriate behavior, such as girls acting out against one another and being overly affectionate toward male students.

Pittsburgh for grades 6-12, voted to try single-sex classes in 2011. Westinghouse Academy returned to integrated classes the following year after the Women’s Law Project and the American Civil Liberties Union of Pennsylvania Greater Pittsburgh Chapter threatened to file a federal civil rights complaint against the school board for sex discrimination. On Thursday, Feb. 25, Goodkind presented her findings about Westinghouse to about 100 Pitt students, discussing the

housing. According to Justin Miller, senior planner at City Planning, a $1.2 million grant from the Federal Transit Administration will fund the development project. The city will work on local infrastructure, including bike lanes and storm water management, before applying for larger development grants. He said the city wants to adopt a plan that works for future sustainable development, and he expects the improvements to start by the end of this year. In the meantime, the city wanted to hear from its residents before they make changes by hosting the launch party. “We know Uptown is a key location,” Miller said. “We want to make sure people have their input.” Miller said the company plans to host another party next year. At this year’s event, residents were eager to voice their concerns, but some residents were worried that Uptown may be overdeveloped. John Szabo, an Uptown resident for 52 years, said he came to the launch to learn more about the potential eco-innovation district and to ensure the city protects the local residents during the development process. “I’m worried about displacement,” Szabo said. “We want a better neighborhood, but not at the expense of the people that live here, like what happened in East Liberty.” At the event, residents had the opportunity to voice their opinions through sticky notes on blank cardboard displays, including improved roads, more housing and more activity for businesses. At an interactive voting station, residents voted on issues they thought were most important for the area, such as “faster bus routes” or “well lit streets.” When residents had the chance to ex-

pittnews.com

press words to describe Uptown, many tacked on notes with words like “potential.” Miller said the launch is the first step to improving Uptown and Oakland. “Anyone can see the streets around here are in terrible shape,” Miller said. James Noschese, a frequent Uptown visitor since 1965, said he has noticed the rough condition of the roads and wants the city to install traffic lights at a local intersection. “Over the past two years, there have been 20 accidents at the intersection of Gist and Forbes,” he said. “We need help making these changes.” When the city started an urban renewal project the East Liberty neighborhood in many large businesses took over much of the area, but at the cost of increasing rent in the areas surrounding Penn Avenue. Szabo said though he is not sure yet if gentrification will happen in Uptown, the phenomenon can happen when cities bring in big development projects. “There has to be a balance between the residents and the new development,” Szabo said. Wanda Wilson, director of OPDC, said the organization got involved in the replanning of the area because of the neighboring location. “We have a lot of the same issues here in Oakland, and we share street corridors, like Fifth, Forbes and the Boulevard of the Allies,” Wilson said. “We want to think collectively.” Mayor Bill Peduto, who attended the event, said it is important to the city to create a development plan that works for the people living in Uptown and Oakland. Peduto said he wants to prevent displacement of residents and make sure Uptown has the highest standards for sustainability. “We want this to be a model for the rest of the city,” Peduto said.

Casual Friday A True Burger King Everyone wants to meat a British man who legally changed his name to Bacon Double Cheeseburger on Monday. After getting sufficiently sauced, friends of the man formerly known as Simon Smith convinced him to sign paperwork to officially change his name. The entire process was grease lightning quick, taking only three weeks . While Cheeseburger said his father finds the switch hilarious, both his mother and fiancee aren’t loving it. “No girl ever dreams of spending her big day marrying a man called Bacon,” he told the Evening Standard. Surely someone out there would relish the opportunity to live with such a ham. Stole Train Authorities in California arrested a 45-year-old homeless woman Monday for attempting to steal a train. Shawna Marone ended up at a different kind of station than she planned after residents called police about a train whistle blowing for more than 10 minutes straight during the middle of the night. When confronted, Marone told police that she was hoping to take the train for “a joy ride” but couldn’t get the locomotive to move. She thought she could, she thought she could — but she couldn’t. And with that, the Not-So-Great Train Robbery was foiled. Furry Situation After receiving a call about an injured otter on the side of a road, British police officers sprang to the rescue last Thursday. Fortunately for

concerned Benedict Cumberbatch fans, all they found on the scene was the faux fur collar of a winter coat. Officers named it “Ollie the Faux Otter” and began tweeting pictures of it positioned around the police station. It wasn’t long until Ollie stole the spotlight — and our hearts. Thanks-a-pots If you’re looking for some coconut delightups , we might have just the person for you. A girl scout’s business move was anything but halfbaked on Saturday, when she set up a stand to sell cookies outside of a Portland marijuana dispensary. The girl’s aunt tagged along and suggested the location, correctly predicting that they would earn some high profits. To sweeten the deal, anyone who brought in a box of Girl Scout Cookies would get a discount on the dispensary’s strain of “Girl Scout Cookies” pot. Who says brownies are a stoner’s best friend? GOAT Offense When an Australian rescue helicopter responded to a car crash, it revealed that just about everything down under is dangerous. The helicopter spooked a nearby group of goats, one of which felt behooved to retaliate. The goat rammed its head into the small window positioned beneath the pilot’s foot, cracking the glass and grounding the helicopter for three hours. While its methods are questionable, the goat deserves praise for having the courage to fight baaaaaack.

Mindfulness keeps you balanced Amber Montgomery For The Pitt News

In any given 10-minute walk from lecture to lecture, I’ll find myself worrying about a swiftly approaching midterm, picking up an extra shift at work and planning time for Chipotle with friends — all while flipping through Snapchat stories. I usually arrive at my next destination more frazzled and less focused than I was at the last class. There’s an approach to dealing with the stress of daily life called mindfulness, and it emphasizes a conscious approach to life that focuses on slowing down, appreciating the moment and taking care of yourself. While juggling a list of stressors, mindfulness is just what college students need to stay sane. Schools around the country, such as Harvard, the University of Missouri and our own University of Pittsburgh, are implementing meditation and mindfulness training to help students reach peace and quiet. And it seems to be working — students at Santa Clara University reported higher reductions in stress after taking an eight-week meditation course. A study from the Frontiers in Human Neuroscience from the University of Miami assigned 58 undergraduate students to two groups: one group received seven weeks of mindfulness training, and the other received no training. The students were tested at the beginning of the semester and again at the end of the semester.

At Pitt, the Stress Free Zone, located on the third floor of the Union, is dedicated to helping students learn to reduce stress and practice mindfulness. There are walkin hours throughout the day for private practice and yoga, and sitting meditation classes for those who prefer a more interactive approach. Meditation is a big part of mindfulness, there’s no getting around it. The goal of meditating is to focus your attention on your physical presence in an attempt to quiet and open up your mind. Think of it like mental exercise. Just like a workout, it can be hard, but students can garner substantial health benefits.

Sports Twelve Pitt players to race for james conner saturday Dan Sostek Sports Editor

Twelve Pitt football players will honor James Conner on Saturday. Jeff Ahearn ASSISTANT VISUAL EDITOR

Nearly three months after Pitt running back James Conner announced his diagnosis of Hodgkin Lymphoma, a group of his teammates have found a way to honor their star teammate. The University announced on Thursday that 12 Pitt football players have formed a team for the 16th annual “Race to Anyplace” on Saturday, in which teams work to keep a stationary bike in motion for six hours. The event benefits Pittsburgh’s local chapter of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. The 12 players forming the team, dubbed “#ConnerStrong,” are quarterback Nathan Peterman, linebacker Matt Galambos, running back Qadree Ollison, offensive tackle Jaryd Jones-Smith, fullback George Aston, wide receivers Rafael Araujo-Lopes, Kellen McAlone and Manny Stocker, long snapper Pat Quirin, offensive lineman Tony Pilato, kicker Tristan Cunha and punter Nick Goldsmith. Doctors diagnosed Conner with Stage 2 Hodgkin Lymphoma in November, and he held a press conference disclosing his diagnosis in December. According to Codi Fleet, the Sports

Campaign Manager for the Western Pennsylvania and West Virginia chapter of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, the campaign is excited to have the team participating, and has followed Conner’s story closely. “We received hundreds of calls from our board members, donors and volunteers asking if we had heard [about Conner’s diagnosis] and wanting know how they could support,” Fleet said via email. “We quietly reached out to private channels to show our support and let Conner and his family know that we were here for whatever he needed.” World-record holding Olympian and seven-time USA Cycling national champion Dotsie Bausch will host the event at the East Club in Heinz Field. Last February, thanks to the contributions of more than 80 teams, the event raised more than $130,000. This year, the event is aiming to raise $150,000. All proceeds of the event assist the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society’s goal of curing blood cancers, such as leukemia, lymphoma, myeloma and Hodgkin’s disease, while also attempting to improve the quality of life for patients and their families. Conner, in response to the news of his team, tweeted, “Love for my brothers!”

Panthers fall in last home game of season Logan Hitchcock Staff Writer

The Pitt women’s basketball team couldn’t save its best for last in its final home game of the season. The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (17-11, 7-8 ACC) defeated the Panthers (12-16, 4-11 ACC) 66-60 in the team’s last contest at the Petersen Events Center this year. The loss was the Panthers’ ninth consecutive at home, where they

pittnews.com

were winless in conference play this season. In a low-scoring first quarter, it was the Panthers who got on the board first. Pitt sophomore point guard Aysia Bugg forced a turnover and found fellow sophomore Yacine Diop streaking in transition for a layup. Georgia Tech wasted no time answering the Diop layup, using a jumper by Katarina Vuckovic to knot the score on the next possession. Pitt answered right back, and the teams

spent most of the remaining quarter trading empty possessions and the occasional basket. Trailing 9-8 with the shot clock turned off, Pitt grabbed the lead when freshman Kalista Walters grabbed her own miss and scored with only six seconds remaining in the quarter. The Panthers’ hopes of entering the second quarter with the lead quickly vanished. With only six seconds left after the Walters make, Georgia Tech couldn’t get the ball up the court

February 26, 2016

to find Vuckovic on the wing for a deep 3-point basket as the buzzer sounded. “We just stopped playing defense,” Pitt coach Suzie McConnell-Serio said. Instead of leading by one, the Panthers found themselves trailing by two points when the second quarter started. In the early minutes, Georgia Tech took advantage of an inefficient Panthers offense as Pitt had no answer defenSee Women’s Hoops on page 9

Women’s Hoops, pg. 8 sively for Zaire O’Neil. After a pair of layups from Imani Tilford, O’Neil added six straight points of her own as Georgia Tech clawed out a 10-point lead. The Panthers found some baskets at the end of the quarter, but couldn’t fend off Georgia Tech, allowing the Yellow Jackets to shoot 54 percent in the half. Trailing by 13 entering the second half, the Panthers needed to find more stops on defense and quality scoring looks to cut into the Georgia Tech lead. They added early baskets from Bugg and Diop to slash the lead to nine points, but couldn’t hold it there for long. Soon after the opening baskets, the Panthers fell prey to their all-too-familiar turnover problem — throwing two balls away that lead to five easy Yellow Jacket points. The turnovers again were a problem for the young Panthers squad, as their 14 turnovers led to 13 Georgia Tech points on the night. Nevertheless, the Panthers kept trying to chip away, using a much improved

pittnews.com

offense to find baskets at the rim in the third quarter. As a team, the Panthers shot 9-15 from the field in the third quarter but couldn’t make up any ground thanks to an even better 10-16 from the field for Georgia Tech. In the fourth quarter, Pitt built small spurts of momentum but could never fully capitalize. Down 12 at the start of the quarter, the Panthers cut the lead to single digits with 6:43 left when Bugg connected on a 3-point basket. The Yellow Jackets answered as Vuckovic again connected on a jumper. Vuckovic lead Georgia Tech on the night, scoring 18 on 8-12 from the field, including 2-4 from beyond the 3-point arc. Despite Georgia Tech’s persistence, Pitt kept fighting. Trailing by 10 with 5:21 remaining, the Panthers added four consecutive baskets over the next four and half minutes of play, all while keeping Georgia Tech scoreless. The run cut the Georgia Tech lead to just two points with a minute to play. “I thought we stepped up our defense, and the offense was much better,” McConnell-Serio said.

Bugg said the Panthers returned to their fundamentals during that run. “It was just stop and score, stop and score. It’s what we work on in practice,” Bugg said. Unfortunately, though, the Panthers couldn’t get enough stops and scores. Georgia Tech got a basket from O’Neil with 28 seconds remaining and, after missing its next shot, forced the Panthers to foul. Unfortunately though, the Yellow Jackets made the most of their free throws, clinching the game at the free-throw line. Diop and Bugg led the Panthers offensively for the second straight game. Diop added 19 points on 8-12 shooting, adding five rebounds and four assists. Bugg pitched in with 16 points, her third consecutive game with 15 points or more. The Panthers will finish their regular season this Sunday when they travel to Louisville, Kentucky, to take on the No. 10 Louisville Cardinals (22-6, 13-1 ACC) at 12:30 p.m. “We’re just trying to finish off the season strong, have fun and play our hardest,” Yacine Diop once again led Pitt offensively deBugg said. spite the loss.
