Whether you had a gold medal hanging from your neck, were just learning how to stand on a snowboard, or were one of those flustered skiers wondering where all the kids in the baggy pants were coming from, you knew the name “Burton.”Jake Burton Carpenter, the man who changed the game on the mountain by fulfilling a grand vision of what a snowboard could be, died Wednesday night of complications stemming from a relapse of testicular cancer. He was 65.In an email sent to the staff at Burton, CEO John Lacy called Carpenter “our founder, the soul of snowboarding, the one who gave us the sport we love so much.”Carpenter was not the inventor of the snowboard. But 12 years after Sherman Poppen tied together a pair of skis with a rope to create what was then called a “Snurfer,” the 23-year-old entrepreneur, then known only as Jake Burton, quit his job in Manhattan, moved back to Vermont and went about dreaming of how far a snowboard might take him.“I had a vision there was a sport there, that it was more than just a sledding thing, which is all it was then,” Burton said in a 2010 interview with The Associated Press.For years, Burton’s snowboards were largely snubbed at resorts — their dimensions too untested, their riders too unrefined, their dangers all too real — and many wouldn’t allow them to share the slopes with the cultured ski elite in Colorado or California or, heaven forbid, the Swiss Alps.But those riders were a force of nature. And for all their risk-taking, rule-breaking, sidewinding trips down the mountain, they spent money, too. Throughout the last decade, snowboarders have accounted for more than 25% of visitors to mountain resorts in the United States. They have bankrolled a business worth more than billion annually — a big chunk of which is spent on Burton gear.“People take it for granted now,” said Pat Bridges, a longtime writer for Snowboarder Magazine, who has followed the industry for decades. “They don’t even realize that the name ‘Burton’ isn’t a company. It’s a person. Obviously, it’s the biggest brand in snowboarding. The man himself is even bigger.”In 1998, and with Carpenter’s tacit blessing, the Olympics got in on the act, in hopes of injecting some youth into an older-skewing program filled with ski jumpers, bobsledders, figure skaters and hockey players.As the years passed, Carpenter straddled the delicate line between the “lifestyle sport” he’d helped create — one that professed to value fun over winning, losing, money or Olympic medals — and the mass-marketing behemoth snowboarding was fast becoming.“He saw himself as a steward to snowboarding,” Bridges said. “I’m not saying he was infallible, or that he always made the right choices. But at least that was always part of his calculus: ‘What impact is this decision going to have on snowboarding?’”Though Burton is a private company that does not release financials, its annual sales were north of 0 million as of 2015. In addition to the hundreds of retail stores that sell the company’s merchandise, Burton has 30 flagship shops in America, 11 more in Europe and another 11 spread across the Pacific and Asia — a burgeoning market that Carpenter started developing a decade ago, during a time when the IOC was beginning the process of awarding three straight Winter Games to the continent.At a bar in Pyeongchang, South Korea, not far from where snowboarding celebrated its 20th anniversary at the Olympics last year, there was a wall filled with Burton pictures and memorabilia — as sure a sign as any of the global reach of a company that remains headquartered not far from where it was founded in Carpenter’s garage, in Londonderry, Vermont.For all his financial success, folks were always more likely to run into Carpenter wearing a snowsuit than a sportscoat. He was a fan of early morning backcountry rides, and he had to stay in good shape to keep up with some of the company he rode with.Burton sponsored pretty much every big name in the business at one time or another— from Seth Wescott to Shaun White, from Kelly Clark to Chloe Kim.Indeed, it is virtually impossible to avoid the name “Burton” once the snow starts falling at any given mountain around the world these days. The name is plastered on the bottoms of snowboards, embroidered on jackets, stenciled into bindings and omnipresent in the shops around the villages.The Burton U.S. Open, held each winter in Vail on a rider-friendly halfpipe traditionally recognized as the best on the circuit, remains a signature event on the snowboarding calendar.“I had no clue whatsoever that you’d be building parks and halfpipes and that kind of thing,” Burton said in his 2010 interview, when asked about the reach his modest little snowboard had had over the decades. “We’re doing something that’s going to last here. It’s not like just hitting the lottery one day.”His final years were not the easiest.Not long after being given a clean bill of health following his 2011 cancer diagnosis, Carpenter was diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disease, Miller Fisher Syndrome, that left him completely paralyzed for a short time.After a long rehab, he was back on the mountain, and in 2018, he was standing near the finish line to watch White win his third Olympic gold medal.“Jake embraced me and told me how proud he was of me and my career, and I’ll never forget that,” White said late Thursday in 5397

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump is donating his third-quarter salary to help tackle the nation’s opioid epidemic.A White House official says Trump has given the 0,000 he would be paid in the quarter to the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Health, which oversees federal public health offices and programs, including the surgeon general’s office.The White House says the funds are being earmarked “to continue the ongoing fight against the opioid crisis.”Trump has made tackling the misuse of opioids an administration priority. More than 70,000 Americans died in 2017 from drug overdoses, the bulk of them involving opioids.Trump is required to be paid, but he has pledged to donate his salary while in office to worthy causes. Trump donated his second-quarter salary to the surgeon general’s office. 828

Video game enthusiast George Gracin hosts a YouTube video game channel called “G to the Next Level”."Honestly, it's kind of hard to figure what my life would be without them now," Gracin says of video games.Since their creation, video games have become a big part of society.Gamer Kyle Moseley feels the same. Both Gracin and Moseley agree the games are not only fun, it's an escape from reality if you're having a bad day."It's about the moment, the feeling, just having fun. That's really what it is. It's a release," Moseley describes. They call it interactive entertainment."You feel like you're actually a part of the experience," Gracin explains.But in the last few days, the two avid video gamers have been defending their passion, as the games have come into question with recent mass shootings.Speaking about the shootings, President Trump partly blamed video games for the mass shootings in America."We must stop the glorification of violence in our society. This includes the gruesome and grisly video games that are now commonplace," the president said.In the same week, Walmart issued a memo asking employees to take down video game signage and displays referencing violence. However, they are leaving the games on the shelf, as well as guns and ammunition. Walmart was the site of the mass shooting in El Paso. In Mississippi, investigators say a former employee shot and killed two supervisors at a Walmart. In Missouri, a man was arrested after police say he walked into a Walmart, heavily armed and wearing body armor. Walmart customers we spoke with say they support the steps the company is taking to remove the violent video game imagery from stores.“They're games, but without parental supervision, they can get to be pretty bad," Walmart shopper Glen Ekstrom says."I was against them when they first came out for that reason, and look what's going on," another Walmart shopper, Rick Hathaway, says. A third customer, Luisa Candelo, expressed similar sentiment, stating "No me gustan mucho porque creo que incentivan mas a la violencia." (Translation: I don't really like them because I believe they encourage more violence).So, what is considered a violent video game? And is it actually dangerous?Dr. Asim Shah, a professor and Psychiatry Executive Vice Chair at Baylor College of Medicine, says the potential relationship between video games and gun violence has been studied for over a decade."In the past, people used to think that there is a relationship, but the latest studies show that there is no correlation," Dr. Shah says.While many studies have been done, Dr. Shah says there's still a need for more in-depth research since people play video games for different lengths of time, and video games could have a larger impact on people with a pre-existing condition."If somebody especially is paranoid, if somebody especially is delusional or hearing voices, they may be the population who may need to avoid certain games certainly because they already have some element of underlying disorder," Dr. Shah explains.What psychiatrists know for sure, is that video gamers can experience frustration and sometimes anger when they lose."Would it link to gun violence? That is not established," Dr. Shah says.Walmart didn't respond to our request for a statement about why the company pulled the video game signage, but they continue to sell the games, as well as firearms. We do know Walmart is one of the biggest sellers of guns and ammo in the world, although it doesn't break down exactly how much money it makes from those sales.Gracin and Moseley say they'll continue to pursue their passion, standing behind the industry that they know and love so well."I don't really think it's the video games at all. If anything, video games are actually helpful because now, whatever aggressions you have, you can take it out on a fictional character in a game," Gracin says.“I just would like to see to the point where people see video games as a form of entertainment. Not as a triggering mechanism for a violent acts," Moseley says. ***************************************************If you’d like to contact the journalist for this story, email Elizabeth Ruiz at elizabeth.ruiz@scripps.com 4225
