Club awards scholarships to local students attending YSU
BOARDMAN, Ohio (WKBN) – An Italian-American Club formed in 1953 once again awarded scholarships to Mahoning County high school students planning to attend Youngstown State University.
Six of the nine students posed for a photo Wednesday before the Wolves Club scholarship banquet at Michael Alberini's restaurant in Boardman. A total of $103,000 in scholarship money was handed out, which was $11,400 per student.
'It's a great organization. Youngstown State University, we're partners, and it's a matching fund as far as, if we give 50, Youngstown State gives 50, so we match our funds. It's one of the few organizations that Youngstown State does that with,' said Chairman Jim Frankino.
The scholarship recipients are the following:
Paul Armour, of Struthers
Robert Carcelli, of Struthers
Gianna Clement, of Lowellville
Rocco DiLisio, of Ursuline
Morgan Hollister, of South Range
Ryan Nigh, of Ursuline High
Gianna Noble, of Canfield
Maximus Scott, of Cardinal Mooney
Vincent Tufaro, of Poland Seminary
Throughout its 71 years, the Wolves Club has given out $1.4 million in scholarships — all to Mahoning County students attending YSU.

Palantir CEO Warns of AI Arms Race With China
Palantir (PLTR, Financials) CEO Alex Karp said Thursday that artificial intelligence poses serious risks and that the ongoing AI arms race will ultimately be won by either the United States or China. There are positive and negative consequences, and either we win or China will win, Karp told CNBC's Squawk on the Street. He emphasized that the U.S. currently holds an advantage due to corporate willingness to embrace new technologies, but said Western allies, particularly in Europe, are lagging behind and must learn from the U.S. approach. In the interview, Karp also addressed a recent New York Times report suggesting Palantir is assisting the Trump administration in gathering data on American citizens. He denied the claim, stating, We are not surveilling Americans. The Denver-based data analytics and AI software firm has gained 74% year to date as investors bet on the company's growing role in U.S. government contracts and defense applications. While the stock continues to outperform broader tech peers, Karp acknowledged investor concerns around its valuation. You don't like the price, exit, he said.

Is The New Italian Restaurant in Trump Wall Street Already in Hot Water?
Before Nero, the space was supposed to become a Dean & Deluca market in 2015, but the upscale grocery chain went defunct entirely. The address had been empty for quite some time because of its association with Trump, making it known as a retail pariah. Nerolab's sprawling restaurant was announced in 2020 and finally opened in April 2025. The company also runs a separate coffee shop, Nerolab Caffe, within the Midtown Trump Building on Fifth Avenue — it's also unclear what's happening with this. There had been plans to open 10 more locations in NYC by the end of the year. Uptown brunch spot temporarily closes because of DOH Upper West Side beer and biscuit spot Jacob's Pickles has been temporarily closed by the New York City Health Department, as reported by West Side Rag. The news website reports that the 509 Amsterdam Avenue restaurant failed its inspection on Wednesday, June 4. Jacob's owner Jacob Hadjigeorgis shares a statement with Eater (which is also posted on the door of the restaurant), explaining that 'due to an issue uncovered by the Department of Health — referencing damaged areas of the facilities — it's the necessary decision' to close and address the issues. The goal is to reopen 'by the weekend.' He continues: 'While unexpected, we are genuinely grateful that this issue was brought to our attention.' Hadjigeorgis is in the middle of relocating the restaurant to a new address at 680 Columbus Avenue, and West 93rd Street, with the hope of opening by end of summer, according to the team. He's holding onto the original location to turn it into a new bar called Velvet Cowboy. King launches a summer cafe Soho restaurant King — fresh off being listed on the New York Times ' Best 100 Restaurants list this week — is adding daytime service for the summer, dubbed Cafe King. Co-founders Jess Shadbolt and Annie Shi are taking their cues for the seasonal pop-up from French and Italian cafes. There will be coffee from Brooklyn roastery Caffe Vita. Pastry chef Fiona Thomas is crafting baked goods and dishes, including scones with whipped honey butter and strawberry-lavender preserves, frittata verde made with asparagus, chevre cheese, and mint, and a cured salmon, cucumber, and creme fraiche tartine. It started on June 4 and runs through Monday, August 4, taking place from 8 to 11 a.m. every day. Everything is available for takeout or dine-in. Shi is also opening her own Chinese American wine bar in Chinatown, Lei, tonight as an independent endeavor. Sign up for our newsletter.

Gucci, YSL owner sends blunt message about tariff threats
I bought my first pair of Saint Laurent (YSL) heels when I was 25. They were all black patent leather in the iconic Tribute style, with crisscross straps and a sky-high platform that made absolutely no sense and every kind of sense at the same time. I can't remember exactly why, but I had some reason to celebrate (or so I told myself), and I couldn't resist the rush of slipping those shoes on in the YSL store at Copley in Boston. They were bold. A little aggressive. And completely, unapologetically French. Related: Popular luxury brand takes a massive leap of faith in risky move That moment wasn't just about fashion - it was about owning something that felt like power. Putting them on was like flipping a switch: confidence, elegance, a little bit of edge. Luxury brands like YSL know exactly what they're selling. Sure, there's craftsmanship and quality, but really, it's culture. A story. An idea that something made in France or Italy is worth paying a premium. So when presidents start throwing around threats of tariffs and urging companies to move production closer to home, that idea gets tested. But Kering (PPRUY) , the company behind Gucci, YSL, and Bottega Veneta, just made it clear: it has no intention of budging. Image source: Sorbis/Shutterstock On the Q1 2025 earnings call, Kering CEO François-Henri Pinault made one thing clear: the company won't be moving its production out of Europe in response to U.S. tariffs. "Most of our brands we are producing in Italy and in France, and this is part of the promise that we bring through our products, through our heritage, to the consumer," he told investors. He went even further, adding, "We are selling part of our culture, being an Italian culture or a French culture. So we have no plan of producing to counter the tariff. It makes no sense." Related: Luxury outerwear brand avoids tariffs as rivals try to exit China His comments came just days after President Donald Trump signaled that sweeping new tariffs on goods from the European Union were imminent, calling the EU's trade actions "an atrocity." Pinault said the company already operates in large global markets (like China) where import duties are standard, and he emphasized that adjusting its entire supply chain would dilute the very value proposition luxury buyers are paying for. Still, Kering isn't ignoring the issue. Pinault acknowledged the company may have to rethink pricing strategy if the tariffs go into effect. Tariffs aren't the only problem on Kering's plate. In its latest results, the group reported a 14% drop in revenue for the first quarter of 2025, totaling €3.9 billion. Gucci continues to struggle. The brand brought in €1.6 billion in Q1 2025, down 24% year-over-year. Sales fell sharply across both its retail and wholesale channels. Meanwhile, YSL posted €679 million in Q1 revenue, down 8%, with some resilience in European and Middle Eastern markets. Kering closed 25 stores globally during the quarter, and although Bottega Veneta (up 4%) and its beauty and eyewear segments saw growth, the group's overall trajectory remains challenged. Pinault addressed the issue, stating, "We are increasing our vigilance to weather the macroeconomic headwinds our industry faces." The company also recently offloaded its stake in The Mall Luxury Outlets and entered a joint venture for three Parisian real estate assets, moves that signal a tighter focus on its core business and brand strategy. Kering's message - heritage over haste - is one not all luxury players may be able to afford. But if it pulls through, it'll be because it stood by elegance, even when tariffs made shortcuts tempting.
