O
n Sept.19, the University of New Haven had its annual Family Day event, which included a whole itinerary of activities for students and their families. Throughout the day, there were shuttles to local areas such as downtown New Haven, downtown West Haven, SkyZone Trampoline Park, the Pez Factory in Orange, Conn., and more. Sign-ups for the trip were done after check in. Many events took place on campus as well. Some were specifically for freshman families. The Office of Residential Life conducted events for the Living Learning Communities including tie-dye, meet-andgreet, and other various activities, depending on the LLC. SCOPE participated with

The Bixler/Botwinik Quad was filled with inflatable obstacle courses and bounce houses, which ran for students and families of all ages from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. Many performances, crafts, and demonstrations went on throughout campus during the day. One activity included an Interactive Animal Exhibit in the German Club, featuring creatures from the Animal Embassy. The animals on display included an exotic bird and some reptiles. One reptile, a tortoise, was freely roaming near the stage of the German Club. At the Westside Hall patio, there was a sophomore exclusive event called “Snacks for Sophomores,” in which the sophomore class got food while meeting with the sophomore

The Chargers won 31-12 with their season record being 2-1. The Women’s Soccer team also had a game against AIC which started at 7 p.m. The Chargers lost 0-3, with a sea-

U
niversity of New Haven Board of Governors member Jeffery Hazell has posed a challenge to the University: which of the five colleges can raise the most money for their schools by Homecoming Weekend? And the prize for the winning college is steep—$50,000, which the deans of the victorious college can use on whatever they’d like within their school. The challenge, named “The Jeffery Hazell ’83 “Count Me In” Participation Challenge,” was created by Hazell to “provide a great way to reward the College that best motivates its alumni and friends to participate and give back to their alma mater,” he said. The fundraising challenge, which was launched internally the week of Sept. 7 and officially sent to University alumni on Tuesday, Sept. 15, ends on Homecoming, Saturday, Oct. 24. The challenge is based off the number of participants rather than the amount donated. “It’s all about the number of donors showing their support for a particular college, not the dollars,” said Marya Neary, director of annual giving. Hazell, who is directly affiliated with both the Hazell Nut

Café located in Maxcy Hall and Jeffery’s Fusion Restaurant found in Harugari Hall, has been a long time benefactor of the University of New Haven’s hospitality and tourism management program and UNH athletics. According to Neary, Hazell, an alumnus of the University himself, loves UNH and enjoys supporting the students. “A gift – of any amount – is a vote for that College,” said Neary. “Regardless of which one wins the Challenge, your
generosity will benefit the College you choose and have an immediate impact on our students.” Even the Colleges who don’t win the challenge and the end prize of $50,000 still benefit from this challenge, as each college keeps the donations that have been made throughout the duration of the challenge. The minimum online donation is $5, and Neary reminds everyone that all donations are considered equal. “That
$5 counts equally against the $1,000.” Anyone can donate, including current undergraduate and graduate students, alumni, parents, faculty and staff. “It’s not what you give, but that you give,” said Neary. “That’s what matters.” Supporters are encouraged to make their donation online on the university’s crowd funding site (https://makeithappen. newhaven.edu/). Online supporters will be recognized immediately on the site’s Honor Roll of Donors. Donations of any amount can be made by check (and sent interoffice to the Office of Advancement in Bergami Hall) or by phone by calling Neary at (203) 931-2940. The Make It Happen website features a running total for each college where anyone can check on the progress that the Colleges have been making. The Colleges include the College of Arts and Sciences; the College of Business; Tagliatela College of Engineering, Lyme Academy College of Fine Arts; and the Henry C. Lee College of Criminal Justice and Forensic Science. “[The challenge] really showcases the UNH spirit,” Neary said.

UNH Holds Campus Wide Meeting By RILEY KNEBES
STAFF WRITER RKNEB1@NEWHAVEN.EDU
–––––––––––––––––––––
O
n Sept. 16, the University of New Haven held a campus-wide meeting in Bucknall Hall for the University’s staff members. The purpose of the meeting was to enlightened them on various topics concerning the students, staff, and overall status of the University. Among the topics discussed were diversity and inclusions, New American Colleges and Universities benchmarking, financial challenges, academic
updates, and budget planning. A few of the highlights included the welcoming of 181 new faculty and staff members to UNH since Sept. 1, 2014. Among the newly hired members was Walter Caffey, Vice President for enrollment management, Stephen Morin, Vice President for advancement, Brian Kench, Dean for the College of Business, and Charles Skipton, Associate Dean for the College of Business. Concerning the diver-
sity of the University, President Kaplan and Carol Koziatek, Vice President of Human Resources, shared about recent accomplishments that UNH has achieved to encourage a more diverse atmosphere. “It’s a very diverse world and that’s a very good thing,” Kaplan said. Additional training for staff and students is in the near future for the University to continue to expand UNH’s differences. Among other good news for UNH, the
University has recently accepted the invitation to join the New American Colleges and Universities (NAC&U), a prestigious group of independent colleges dedicated to the integration of liberal arts education, professional studies and civic engagement. Being a part of the NAC&U allows UNH to compare data with other similar private colleges. This data includes acceptance rates, fundraising, retention rates, and research money. Comparing the Uni-
versity to others in the NAC&U, Kaplan said “I think we can do what they are doing, we just have to get better at it.” Financial challenges were also discussed in the meeting. Significant budget issues were addressed, including budget freezes on newly hired positions and the need for students to take more credit hours per semester. “There is no reason we can’t get through this and continue to grow,” said George Synodi, Vice President for Finance.
On a higher note, academic updates involved a conceptual vision and design of a new academic building. There have been no final decisions on what will be put into this building. Choosing what departments go there and how the space is utilized will be a competitive process. The vision is to have a major center for collaborative design, discovery, and engagement. This is all part of UNH’s experiential learning environment.

On Sept.16 from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. in the Bartels Alumni Lounge over fifty University of New Haven students gathered to present research they conducted throughout the summer as part of the Student Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) program. The summer research was laid out on posters that lined the whole room, catching the attention of both faculty and students
who were perusing the research while enjoying provided refreshments. The event was a huge success, showcasing the hard work and dedication of the student participates while capturing the high academic standard held and met at UNH. The SURF program provides undergraduate students with the opportunity to conduct hands-on research under the guidance of a faculty member. They remain on campus all summer and work on their own research questions. Eventually they get the opportunity to present their research as well as
the potential to be published as an undergraduate. Along with the experience, SURF offers participants a $3,000 stipend as well as a budget for all needed materials. These benefits attract many undergraduate students to the program, explaining the growth the program has undergone since its start. SURF began in 2007 with only fourteen participants, since then it has had over two hundred participants. The program, along with the students, was showcased during the See SURF page 3

way for students to get the assistance they need. Isbell concluded, “Very few things make me happier than seeing tutoring appointments happen around campus: two students talking about ideas and finding solutions to the challenges presented by college-level writing assignments.” The ultimate goal of Writer to Writer is to help students who struggle with writing by making them feel more comfortable with the process and attain new skills.

he United States General Surgeon, Dr. Vivek Murthy, made an appearance Thursday morning at Gateway Community College in New Haven to discuss the progress of the city’s smoke free initiative. Dr. Murthy referred to the use of tobacco products as a disease. He talked about how his father, a doctor, used to smoke despite his knowledge of the harmful effects. According to Dr. Murthy, the biggest challenges smokers are faced with when trying to quit are the mindsets that their health is out of their control and the belief that the “battle against tobacco has been won.” Steps toward prevention are key to the success of eliminating the tobacco use. Research has been conducted to see what attracts people to smoking, and why people who live

in a more vulnerable atmosphere are more likely to start smoking. The research will help produce ways to prevent and treat the use of tobacco before the habit has already formed. Dr. Murthy applauded New Haven for their effective efforts on combatting tobacco through the city’s construction of a three-part plan to help eradicate the use of tobacco products throughout the city. Interventions have been held to help aid adults who are in the process of quitting and those thinking quitting. City health officials have been targeting the youth and educating them on the harmful

university’s SURF presentations. The SURF presentations allow for students to showcase their hard work and take pride in their accomplishments. It also gives students the opportunity to learn about their field and themselves, especially when things do not go as planned. Sophomore Nate Lanning says “Sometimes it’s more fun when research doesn’t work out, it gave me the experience of a
lifetime.” The world is not perfect and the SURF program allows students to gain experience in the real world environment before they even graduate college. The research always turns out differently than expected and the students take great pride in showcasing their finished product with the bumps ironed out. The program itself aids undergraduate students in their everyday lives as well as their professions, Lanning even says “It
definitely helped me grow up.” The students who participate learn to manage their own time and take responsibility for their own research, giving them an advantage in the real world. The SURF presentations captured the educational and mature atmosphere fostered within the University of New Haven and the dedication and pride students have in their work.

effects of tobacco use. Lastly, the city passed an anti-tobacco law in May that prohibits the use of any tobacco product, including e-cigarettes, in all city parks or on cityowned property. The University of New Haven became one of the 1,500 schools to go smoke free in June. UNH is also one of the 25 percent of the smoke free campuses to go completely tobacco free. If American continues to take the steps in the positive direction in attempt to eliminate the use of tobacco then we will reach “the America we deserve, a tobacco free America,” Dr. Murthy ended.

Being Intelligent Does Not Mean Being a College Graduate
By KAITLIN MAHAR

T
he dictionary defines intelligence as “1. capacity for learning, reasoning, understanding, and similar forms of mental activity; aptitude in grasping truths, relationships, facts, meanings, etc.; 2. manifestation of a high mental capacity; 3. the faculty of understanding.” Can you find the word “degree” anywhere in there? I didn’t think so. This assertion that intelligence cannot be weighed by one’s highest level of education achieved may come as a surprise from a senior college student - it may even come off as hypocritical - but I am by no means saying that college is a waste of time or that those in college are not intelligent.

I have never been a big fan of Lady Gaga; sure, I would sing along to her music on the radio, but as far as her as a person, I felt like she went too far just to get a little attention. However, with how many people look up to her on a daily basis I completely admire the fact that she is using her celebrity to raise awareness about such an important issue: college sexual assault. Lady Gaga recently released her music video
people around me looking down their noses at those who have not or currently do not attend college, for whatever reason, automatically assuming that somebody’s personal decision to not attend or discontinue their attendance at a college or university is due to a lack of intelligence. Believe it or not, one can be perfectly successful (and intellectual) without having a college degree. Intelligence cannot be measured by the level of difficulty of one’s classes or the amount of degrees one has earned. Somebody could have the vocabulary of Stephen King, or be as techsavvy as Bill Gates (who, coincidentally did not finish college - he dropped out of Harvard). Like Gates, there are plenty of well-known, intellectual people who, shockingly, did not earn their smarts from spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to gain a piece of paper that does nothing but provide somewhat concrete proof of their intellectual capacity - Lady Gaga, Tiger Woods, Buckminster Fuller, Harrison Ford, Mark Zuckerberg, and so on. When measuring intelligence, we cannot discriminate, and absolutely must remember that our local
construction workers are clearly intelligent enough to ensure the physics laws that prevent bridges and buildings from crumbling beneath us, or our hairdressers who understand the chemical reactions that take place to guarantee that our hair has some subtle blonde highlights rather than turn neon pink. We need to recognize the IT specialists who know how to get back the 25-page term paper we thought we deleted when our laptop unexpectedly crashed and the actors who can comprehend Shakespeare in such a way that the audience can understand what is being said by the emotions being conveyed when words like “cockscomb” and “fie” are being thrown back and forth like an intense tennis match. James Cameron certainly didn’t need a college degree to create such memorable, brilliantly-made films like Titanic and Avatar, both of which are frequently ranked on lists of the Top 250 Films of All Time. We are a society that heavily relies on being the most intelligent and the most educated. However, we have yet to learn that intelligence and education are not synonymous.
for “Til it Happens to You,” and it has exploded on social media. From the documentary “The Hunting Ground” the video begins with a disclaimer warning: “The following contains graphic content that may be emotionally unsettling but reflects the reality of what is happening daily on college campuses.” The video then proceeds to show scenes of sexual violence occurring in dorm room settings and at college parties. Throughout these difficult scenes are the most powerful lyrics I ever recall hearing in a song. She sings about the cliché things that sexual assault victims are told everyday by people they trust and expect to support them, like “you tell me it gets better in time” and “you told me hold your head up and be strong, cause when you fall you gotta get up and move on.” She responds to those comments, saying “‘Til your
world burns and crashes, ‘til you’re at the end, the end of your rope, ‘til you’re standing in my shoes, I don’t wanna hear a thing from you.” The video shows, at the end, the survivors of sexual violence being empowered by their fellow supporter and community. The entire video shows the cycle from being abused, the horrible things that a victim hears, to fighting every day to become a survivor and come to terms with what has happened to them. She also approaches that it can happen to anyone but, as in the title, once it does happen the reality is very real, singing throughout the song “till it happens to you, you won’t know, it won’t be real.” Lady Gaga has openly talked about being raped at 19 and sharing that it didn’t affect her until years later, it did traumatize her.

Hello everyone, I hope you are having a great week!
I want to let you know that it’s a-ok. Not only is it a-ok, it’s all good. “It” will eventually succumb to time, because time has a funny way of defeating “it.” On a side, yet related note, Enya’s “Only Time” is a beautiful song and I highly recommend listening to it.
I would like to remind everyone to send three members of their organization to meet with me for Treasurer Training or else your organization will be frozen.
Our next order of business, congratulations to the UNH Football team on their victory this past weekend! #chargernation #ibelievethatwewillwin On a serious note, this past week there has been a series of off-campus housing fires, which are believed to be intentionally set and connected. I would like to remind everyone, especially those who live off campus, to be fire-conscious and vigilant. I strongly encourage you to test your fire detectors and check your extinguishers. Stay safe out there, and if you see something, say something. Sincerely, James Kielar USGA President

hope the semester is still treating everyone right. We have a special treat for you all. I got the chance to interview a couple of our very own student DJs. To all you Disney fans out there, you’re going to love this! Ileana Alvarez-Diaz: Please tell us your name(s), major(s), and class. Leah Myers: Communication, Sophomore. Jess Brownstein: (Cookie)- Criminal Justice, Sophomore. IAD: What made you want to get involved with WNHU/Charger Radio? What do you do? JB: I really like music. I am a promotions staff member and a Charger Radio Associate. LM: I wanted to get experience for my major and to be involved with creating and producing content. I am a promotions staff member and a Charger Radio PSA Associate. IAD: How’s your experience with station been
so far? What have you learned? JB: It’s been really good; it has helped me grow from all the new opportunities and the experiences. My communication skills have been getting stronger and my love for radio has grown too. LM: I have really enjoyed it thus far. I too have improved my communication skills from being a radio DJ. I’ve also learned how to better my cooperation skills; I had no idea how much teamwork it takes to be a part of a radio station! IAD: Favorite thing(s) about WNHU? JB: Working with the student staff and student DJs. LM: We provide a huge variety of music and I get to contribute to it with our radio show. I also enjoy Charger Radio and how any of our students are able to be a part of it. IAD: Favorite artists? JB: Everything except Prince and Madonna. LM: Not really, just no polka music. IAD: If you have a show, care to share a little about it? What time(s) can students tune in?
Both: We have a show called MyMusicEars. We play Disney Music every Thursday from 4 to 6 p.m., a different theme every week. Basically your Disney mix tape. We also have a Facebook page where we interact with our fans. IAD: Any last words? Anything you’d like to add? JB: Being a part of the station is a good opportunity and we are always welcoming people. LM: I’m so glad that I got involved with WNHU. I hope that my future career will somehow involve radio. The station is so welcoming; I sometimes go there just to relax and do homework. So there you have it! These girls got involved and do not regret it one bit. Any majors can join in and create something absolutely amazing. The station teaches you more than how to set up a playlist and speak correctly into a mic; you learn valuable lessons by also being a part of the team. Trust them, they’re genuine. Definitely check out MyMusicEars, every Thursday, from 4 to 6 p.m. on Charger Radio!

song on the album is the finale, “30 for 30 Freestyle.” This is, as you guessed it, a simple beat with a freestyle over it. Drake and Future take this time to speak their minds and put some really meaningful lyrics into rhythm. Some other notable songs are “Jumpman,” “Live from the Gutter,” and “Big Rings.” Although a surprise mixtape, the timing of this release couldn’t have been better. The summer feud between Drake and Meek Mill had the whole media talking, keeping Drake on everyone’s radar. As soon as the buzz started to simmer, Drake drops this album to bring his name, along with Future, back into the mix. This Cash Money-Epic Records collaboration is sure to get people talking again, while they wait for the next surprise.
Spotify Playlist of the Week “Broken Fuse”

any people tend to stray away from jam bands or jazz fusion associating them with something like The Grateful Dead or Phish, endless improvisational sections over top of rather uninteresting harmonic progressions. With this week’s Spotify playlist, I felt the need to bend that stereotype a little. While it is true that much of this music features lengthy improvisational sections (and lengthy songs for that matter), not all of it is quite as unstructured as many are led to believe. First, I’d like to talk a little bit about Frank Zappa. He is a rather polarizing individual, people either love him or hate him. The instrumental piece that I included in this week’s playlist, Black Napkins, is one that should sway any fan of jazz music into the right direction. The piece consists of only two chords, but the voice leading that Zappa wrote made it seem like there is so much more going on. The way that the horns weave in
_____________________ and out of each other while playing is a bit unexpected but pleasing at the same time. This version in particular, features live horn players as opposed to synthesizers, as opposed to other versions out there. Each of the solos showcases the true virtuosity and experimental nature of the players and really makes the piece sit in this interesting place between being something simple, and being incredibly complicated and dense. Another piece of note is “Smile in a Wave” by the Screaming Headless Torsos. This crazy upbeat piece with Latin influence starts out with a percussion introduction featuring both the drummer and percussionist playing this shuffled groove completely locked with one another. Throughout the piece the band drives home the melody of the song, with every melodic instrument performing it at the same time (the singer even scats it). The whole piece makes it impossible for the listener to sit still, and this is espe-

cially true during the one section right before the main melody is repeated where it drops into this grungy halftime feel, likening itself to almost metal. Finally, there’s “Sex in a Pan” by Bela Fleck and the Flecktones. This piece presents an incredible juxtaposition between the funk fueled bassline and the Americana vibe in both the banjo and the harmonica. What’s really interesting is the variation that comes into play in both of those instruments. When the harmonica and banjo play fills, both incorporate more chromatic notes than are generally heard on those instruments. It’s almost offputting. Fleck always tries to change the game in his pieces, often utilizing strange instrumentation that one wouldn’t expect in a jazz piece. Overall, this playlist is just cool to have on in the background when you need something to groove along to.

characters can come down from Everest with their lives. Everest is definitely a good movie. How good of a movie is the question at hand here. The biggest draw of the film is the beautiful scenery and imagery of the Himalayas, which is one of the prettiest spots on Earth. The sweeping camera angles capture this natural beauty very well, with grand cinematography that captures an entire landscape. Filmed on-location, the footage transports the viewer to the mountain. Literally shivering in my seat in the theater, I felt as thought I was on the climb with Hall and Beck. When the crew reaches the summit, the viewer feels a vicarious sense of accomplishment due to the intriguing cinematography. Tying into the natural landscapes are excellent CGI effects, mostly involving the storm that comes. Incredibly menacing, the dark clouds that blend seamlessly over the mountains. This storm is even on par with the sand storm in Mad Max: Fury Road, which is one of the best visual effects sequences this year. Because the setting is so engaging, the effects of the storm truly make one sympathize for the climbers’ conditions. There are several great performances in here as well, most notably by Jason Clark, who’s composure and inflection make him a very likable lead. See EVEREST page 9

The Visit
There is little exposition, and at times, it seems like there are too many things going on at once. There’s the family dynamic, of Becca and Tyler trying to get forgiveness for their mom. There’s the humor, where this visit is played off as funny and awkward, which it is. There’s the horror, where this visit is portrayed as being terrifying and strange. And then there’s the twist ending, which leaves some questions as to Shyamalan’s intentions and storytelling ability. I, did, however, enjoy the pacing of the movie. The suspense was main-
tained throughout, despite the movie having a relatively simple plot. Also, M. Night Shyamalan had a great idea to present this movie as a documentary. Becca’s filming of the trip is interesting as well as affective. The camera angles are simple, yet scary. There also is no background score, which adds to the creepiness of the movie. Overall, the film delivered in terms of scares and laughs. But it didn’t completely deliver in writing, plot, or characters. The Sixth Sense was a suspense movie with heart, which is what I always loved about it. The Visit is a horror movie trying to have a heart, but it
doesn’t really deliver. The sub-plot about Becca and Tyler trying to find forgiveness for their mom and dealing with the abandonment of their father is a good idea, but, often it seems that these moments are thrown in to the script with not enough thought. Again, the writing is choppy, and it jumps around from horror to humor to family. Despite these flaws, it seems evident to me that M. Night Shyamalan is successful in making a comeback. He still has a way to go before he is again respected and loved, but he is making his way to becoming a great storyteller and director once more.

which is, admittedly, the nature of the story it is based upon. Yet coming out of the theater, I didn’t feel the melancholy that the film wants to evoke. While I very much enjoyed Everest, it is something I would only see once. However, seeing the landscapes in IMAX 3D is very much an experience that transports the viewer. As said in the movie, climbing the mountain costs a small fortune. Seeing Everest on the big screen is the next best thing, so it is absolutely worth the price of admission despite the lack of emotional investment.

Jon Favreau. The trailer, released last week, boasts stunning CGI of the animals in the jungle. Also featured were perspective shots of Mowgli running through the jungle, similar to The Amazing SpiderMan perspective shots that looked so cool in IMAX. All of the classic Jungle Book characters will be there, including King Louie, Baloo, Kha, and Bhageera. This will surely look stunning in IMAX 3D. Adapted from a Disney animated classic, The
Jungle Book goes along with the trend of Alice in Wonderland, Maleficent, and Cinderella, which will also be continued with the upcoming live action Beauty and the Beast (Mar. 17, 2017). There are also a slew of new trailers out on the web to check out. First is the new In the Heart of the Sea trailer, which features a lot more shots of the 19th century whaling adventure/disaster film. The first trailer for the next Divergent film, Allegiant, was released. This will be the first of two
films for the finale of the young adult franchise, the last part being titled Ascendant. Allegiant comes out on Mar. 18, 2016, and Ascendant is due to be released Mar. 24, 2017. Also in the young adult genre, Mockingjay Part 2 released another trailer last week, structured very much like a political campaign commercial. While unusual for a trailer, the format falls in line with the series’ trend of being an allegorical political statement regarding freedom. Mockingjay Part 2 comes out Nov. 20.

Email unhaskmelanie@gmail.com, find her on Facebook at UNH Ask Melanie, or follow her Twitter @unhaskmelanie. Identities will always remain confidential! Dear Melanie,
I recently got a job giving out samples from a relatively new store where I’d get a commission in addition to my salary. I did such a good job that my company now wants me to recruit potential new employees and train them, but that means that I’d have no time to make a commission anymore, which was more than 75% of my income. I like working here, but it doesn’t make sense for me to make less money for doing more. What do I do? Thanks, Conflicted in Consumerism
Dear Conflicted, I totally understand your frustration, and my suggestion is to talk to your boss and explain your situation. You can either speak to him/her directly or send an email, which would benefit you in leaving a paper trail should any issues later arise. Either way though, definitely don’t be afraid to speak up and assert yourself!
XOXO,
Melanie Ingredients: Serves 1 3 cups Rotisserie Chicken from the deli, shredded 8 oz. Cream cheese, room temp 1/2 cup Ranch dressing 1/2 cup Cayenne pepper sauce 1/2 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese Add Tortilla chips for dipping
Preparation Mix cream cheese, ranch dressing and pepper sauce until smooth. Add in cheese and chicken. Microwave on high for 1 minute, stir, continue in microwave for 90 seconds and stir again. Continue in 1 minute intervals until dip is thoroughly heated and cheese is melted. May be mixed in an oven safe baking dish and baked for 20 minutes at 350 degrees or mixed in a slow cooker and heated on low for several hours.
Poetry Corner
Leave your worries by the shore line, And run your bare feet through the sand, Let the water be a soft bed, When you cannot bear to stand, Make friends with flying seagulls, And hold the sun up on your palm, Before you duck beneath the water, Where the world is mute and calm, Tell the fish all of your problems, As they all come swimming past, When your lungs are close to bursting, Swim above the waves and gasp, Let the water hold your sadness, And wash it right out to the sea, So like a message in a bottle, All your worries are set free, And the sea might make you feel alone, But the world has troubles too, For how else do you suppose, That the ocean got so blue?

One of my Aussie friends turned 18 this weekend,
and if you don’t know already, 18 is the legal age here (Australian 18= American 21). In light of this, we had her out to a beautiful beachside dinner followed by a night to town.
