Automotive industry will see price hikes after tariffs

 

AutoZone Floor Associate Amall Hepburn takes in prices at the store, 1608 Main St., that will likely increase now that a 25% tariff on all steel and aluminum imports has been imposed. The automotive industry is expected to be greatly impacted. Mechanics as well as auto part retail stores are warning consumers about the price hikes they could start to see. Shift manager Brandon Gogulski says that he was notified to inform customers of these impacts. “We had a manager meeting a little after the tariffs were put into place to understand the situation it will put on us as a company,” Gogulski said. “There haven't been any price adjustments as of right now, but customers will probably begin to see that soon.” By Chris Giacobello

Canisius women's basketball ends season with MAAC loss

 

The Canisius women’s basketball team was eliminated from postseason contention following a 52-42  loss in the MAAC tournament to the Manhattan Jaspers. The team, led by first year head coach Tiffany Swoffard, was originally picked to be 13^th in the conference and far exceeded expectations. In a post-game conference, coach Tiffany Swoffard said she is proud of the team. “They believed in the process. They worked to elevate their games, and they worked to elevate their level of cohesion to get us into the MAAC Tournament in year one. So to that group of young women, I'll never have another first team, and I am so eternally grateful for them saying yes to me, and believing, and getting us here,” Swoffard said. Leading scorer Jaela Johnson will be graduating from the program, but promising underclassmen such as Franka Wittenberg, Shariah Gailes, Yasmine Djibril, and Mary Copple are likely to return for next season. Overall, hopes ar ehigh for the future of Canisius women’s basketball. By Richard Miller
