Documentary filmmaker coming to Pittsburgh to discuss East Palestine and vinyl chloride
PITTSBURGH ― An award-winning documentarian is coming to the region to host a discussion on vinyl chloride and its effects on the environment.
The Carnegie Museum of Art will host a screening of Judith Helfand’s “Blue Vinyl” documentary at 2 p.m. Sunday, May 19. The award-winning “toxicomedy,” which was originally released in 2002, focuses on the production of vinyl chloride and the negative health effects associated with these chemicals in the creation of vinyl siding for homes.
Following a screening of the film, Helfand will join several local environmental activists to discuss the implications of the burning of vinyl chloride that occurred in East Palestine following the Ohio train derailment last year. In the discussion, several Pittsburgh-based experts who were on the ground following the release will talk about the impact on the community and their local environment.
To reserve a spot at the event, attendees are encouraged to reserve their tickets online. The event is expected to take place over three hours and includes free access to the Carnegie Museum of Natural History.

Pittsburgh Public Schools to present results of Facilities Utilization Plan feasibility report

Pittsburgh Public Schools leaders are set to present the results of their Facilities Utilization Plan feasibility report that could determine plans to close or repurpose a number of schools.
The final report surrounding the future of several Pittsburgh Public Schools buildings will be released Tuesday night following months of discussion.
In early November, Superintendent Dr. Wayne Walters announced that no school changes would be taking place during the 2025-26 school year while the comprehensive review of the facilities continued.
At the time, Dr. Walters said the district wanted to take the time to analyze the proposed recommendations put forth by a consulting firm.
A preliminary proposal called for 16 schools to close with final recommendations calling for 14 closures.
The district paid $250,000 to consultants to come up with the plan that was unveiled earlier last year.
Pittsburgh Public has building capacity for 40,000 students, but only 18,000 are enrolled.
School board members have told KDKA numerous times that the district needs to save money and make better use of teachers and of other educational resources.
The meeting will be streamed online starting at 6 p.m.
If the Education Committee’s recommendation to the board includes closures, there has to be a public hearing period for each one.

Matthew Stafford Could Bring Elite WR to Steelers

PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Steelers are working through their evaluations at quarterback, which likely includes every name in the book. But one possible trade could change the outlook for their entire offseason, and how interested players are in coming to Pittsburgh.
Currently, Matthew Stafford and his agent are speaking with other teams, trying to see what his value would be with another organization. Chances are that they are calling the Steelers, who could be interested in his talents.
If they do call, and Pittsburgh does want to make a deal happen, it could be a game changer for their outlook moving forward. Former player Mark Schlereth believes it could be the turning point that gets top-tier talent to the Steelers in free agency.
“If you’re a receiver, would you go to Pittsburgh? You’re damn right you would,” Schlereth said on his Stinkin’ Truth Podcast. “You can’t tell me, for instance, if Matthew Stafford went to Pittsburgh, that people lined up going, ‘Wait a minute, they got Matthew Stafford. They got a head coach that everybody respects. They got a defense that can ball with T.J. Watt. Yeah, I’ll go.”
The Steelers will make wide receiver their top priority this offseason, but right now, they don’t have a quarterback to convince them to come to Pittsburgh. Last season, that hurt them with efforts to land Davante Adams, who didn’t know how to view their QB situation as they transitioned from Justin Fields to Russell Wilson.
Fields likely remains their top option this offseason. But a trade for Stafford is certainly something they’ll have conversations about. Those conversations may include his impact to bring in wideouts, completing an offense that has struggled in recent years.
Maybe Stafford could change the Steelers offense, and maybe he’s the gateway for them to acquire top wide receiver talent this offseason.
