When the Ohio Newspaper Association was established in 1933, Osman C. Hooper was already a significant contributor to the organization. For many years, he conducted the annual “Ohio Newspaper Show,” which was held as part of the Buckeye Press Association convention in Columbus. At the turn of the 20th century, the Buckeye Press Association, which represented weekly newspaper publishers, and the Associated Ohio Dailies were conducting separate events. ONA’s founding was the result of their merger into a single state trade association. It was also in 1933 that Hooper published one of several books: The History of Ohio Journalism, which traces the beginnings of Ohio newspapers. At the 1937 ONA Convention, Hooper was presented a resolution citing “his part in the development of increasingly high standards for Ohio community papers,” and his name was added to the annual weekly newspaper contest. Hooper spent 58 years at The Columbus Dispatch, beginning as a telegraph editor in 1880. He was an editorial writer for nearly 20 years and was made literary editor in 1917. Hooper became a journalism professor at Ohio State University in 1918 and was named professor emeritus in 1932. Throughout his teaching career, he continued to edit The Columbus Dispatch book page. In 1925, Hooper established the Ohio Journalism Hall of Fame, which is housed at Ohio State University, and in 1939, he was inducted into the Journalism Hall of Fame. He died in 1941 at the age of 83.

Miller Resigns As Head Football Coach; Dominique Hired

Credits: STAFF

Inappropriate Comments To Players Preceed Resignation by David Pugh Buckeye Staff Writer Bryan Miller, former head football coach at Archbold High School, chose to resign his coaching job after making inappropriate comments to the team. The Blue Streaks played a scrimmage against Edgerton, Tuesday, Aug. 11. Reports say the Streaks did not play well in the scrimmage. Aaron Rex, Archbold superintendent, said during Miller’s post-scrimmage address to the team, Miller made inappropriate comments to the players. “There are various versions of the story, but all (versions indicate the comments Miller made) were inappropriate.” Rex said he and Miller spoke later that day, and Miller decided to resign. Rex said Miller was not asked to resign. Miller, head coach since 2009, opted to resign from the post effective that day. In a prepared statement, Miller said, “Serving as the head football coach at Archbold High School has been a tremendous experience. “That being said, serving as the head coach can be an all-consuming task that can drain you pretty fast. “I very much regret the timing, but at this time, I feel it is best for myself personally and for our players for me to step down.” Rex said Miller was paid $6,660 as head football coach. Replacement After officially accepting Miller’s resignation at the Monday, Aug. 17 school board meeting, the board approved hiring David Dominique for the head coach position. Dominique has been an AHS assistant coach since 2012, working with linebackers and running backs. He is a 2009 AHS graduate, and was a four-year football letterman, playing linebacker and running back. He is the son of Andy and Ann Dominique. He attended Grand Valley State University in Allendale, Mich., where he earned a bachelor’s degree in sports training. He later earned his teaching license for grades 712 integrated science. He did his student teaching at Archbold, Rex said. Dave Schultz, principal at Stryker Local Schools, confirmed that Dominique is starting his first year of teaching. Dominique will teach science in grades 7-12.

Schultz agreed being a first-year teacher can be difficult; taking over a football program adds to the stress. “If anybody out there can take on both roles and be successful, it’s him,” Schultz said. Rex said Dominique will be paid $4,451 to coach the Blue Streaks. “The difference (between Miller’s coaching pay and Dominique’s) is based on years of experience,” Rex said. Expedited Rex said due to Miller tendering his resignation at the beginning of the season, and the fact that a head coach was needed the next morning, there were “extenuating circumstances,” and the normal hiring process was not followed in selecting Dominique. Rex said he met with Kent Vandock, school district vocal music director and president of the Archbold Education Association. The AEA represents district teachers and certified staff in labor negotiations with the Archbold School Board. Rex and Vandock talked about the hiring procedure. Rex also spoke with Allan Gladieux, AHS athletic director. In addition, Rex said he kept the school board informed about the situation. Rex said the head football coach position will be posted and open for applications at the end of the football season.

After members of the Archbold Fire Department had been through a period of difficult calls and personal tragedies within their own families, a crowd of more than 200 gathered Monday evening, Aug. 17, to show support.

Miller Remains Miller, who teaches seventh and eighth grade history at the middle school, did not resign from his teaching position, Rex said. Miller has never had a problem in his role as a classroom teacher, the superintendent said. “I have observed his class numerous times, and I’ve done Junior Achievement in his class. He’s never had an issue within the classroom,” Rex said. “He’s an effective teacher in the classroom.”

lift them up, encourage them, pray for them.” She wrote the text message, asking recipients to share it with friends. The text called for people to meet at the fire station at 7:50 pm. Fire department members would return to the station following a work session around 8 pm. “Every time a text came through” from people saying they would be there, “I just got tears in my eyes, knowing how incredible this community is,” Childs said. Among those at the fire station were members of the AHS football and volleyball teams, who came to show their support.

$50 or more, and had made no effort to work with the library to either return the items or pay for replacing them, the matter would be turned over to Archbold police. During the meeting, Joyce Klingelsmith, library director, said she had heard back from Scott Haselman, Fulton County prosecuting attorney about the policy.

Because the conversation would involve potential litigation, the board voted to go into executive session. Following the closed-door session, the board voted to change the policy, raising the point at which the policy comes into play to $100, and substituting the prosecutor office for the police department. The board originally dis-

cussed the policy at its May 13 meeting, then held a special meeting June 18 to officially implement the materials recovery policy. At the May meeting, Klingelsmith said over the course of five years, there was almost $7,000 worth of materials that had been checked out of the library that had never been returned.

Support As members of the department walked over the railroad tracks to the main fire station from the station on the north side of the tracks, the crowd erupted in applause. “I think this just shows a

little bit of what our community thinks and feels of you guys,” said Childs. “This last week has been really tough for a lot of people and it’s hit close, super close, to so many of you, so many of us... “We just wanted to come here and let you know how much we appreciate you. “I don’t think any of us can imagine what it’s like unless you’ve gone through it. To be in your shoes and what it must take every day, every night, to be on alert, to be at the beck and call of those who are hurting or are hurt. “Your skin is only so thick, and we just want you to know how much we love you as a community. “We just wanted to be here to lift you up with our presence, from the bottom of our hearts, (to) let you know how much we support you and how much we appreciate everything that you do.” Childs called for the members of the department and

Large Crowd Gathers Monday To Pray For Archbold Fire Department A crowd of more than 200 people turned out on short notice on a hot, humid night to lend their support to the Archbold Fire Department with an impromptu prayer service Monday. Earlier, Danielle Childs, Archbold, sent out a cell phone text message encouraging community members to attend the vigil. It had been a particularly difficult week for AFD. In addition to a string of difficult calls, including an infant in full arrest and a two-year-old with a head injury, members were experiencing difficulties in their own lives. The wife of one long-time firefighter had been diagnosed with Stage 4 brain cancer, and several members had deaths in their families last week. “My heart has been hurting for the families” of the firefighters, Childs said. “My heart has been heavy for the firemen. I felt like God was prompting me to

their families to gather in an inner circle in front of the fire station on West Mechanic Street, then asked those remaining to encircle them. Three local pastors then offered brief prayers. Andy Brodbeck, fire chief, was choked with emotion as he addressed the crowd, thanking them for coming. “This is so humbling, to have a community like this that comes out and supports the men and women who are serving this community just like a number of you who are serving,” Brodbeck said. “We did have a rough couple of weeks. We have a number on the department who are hurting, families that are hurting. “We thank you for this.” He noted Monday was the birthday of Nathan Sauder, an AFD captain, and asked the crowd to sing “Happy Birthday” to lighten the mood. Afterward, everyone mingled over ice cream, exchanging handshakes and hugs.

Archbold Library Board Alters Materials Recovery Policy Following an executive session that lasted about 20 minutes, the Archbold Community Library board voted to change its materials recovery policy. The action came at its Wednesday, Aug. 12 meeting. The policy, as approved by the board earlier in 2015, said if a library patron had unreturned materials valued at

Hooper Category 2: Best News Story

DIVISION A Chagrin Valley Times

“This story bristled with behindthe-scenes details of the convention that the average person wouldn’t see. The writer also used descriptive language and interesting quotes to provide the reader a glimpse of what it meant for Cleveland to host the Republican National Convention. Normally, I’d be opposed to the “typical” lead, but I think it worked in this case because the convention represented such an extraordinary event.” Credits: Krista S. Kano

DIVISION A The Athens News

“The reporter interjected just enough of his personality to make this story about more than just a run-of-the-mill drug arrest. In addition, he included specific details from the police report and the suspected graffiti artist’s activities to draw readers into the mystery. In addition, the reporter deserves a lot of credit for noticing what many might see as a throw-away line on a report so he could tease out this story. I really wish the paper had gotten a comment from the suspect.”

DIVISION A The Budget

“The lead really drew me in. I applaud the writer for taking what could have been a boring meeting story and finding compelling details and quotes to turn it into a must-read feature story.

“Even under tight deadline pressure and a developing situation, the reporter told a complete story that got me interested and answered as many of my questions as possible. The reporter should be commended for digging into public records to find as much about the circumstances of the incident as possible.”

“The reporter did a great covering providing as much detail as possible about a case where a lot of unanswered questions remain. I thought he was sensitive in how he handled the victim of the mailing. I thought it was important that he allowed her to speak and suggest who might have sent the letters. I also think the reporter handled the newspaper’s implication in the mailings deftly. I still had some questions about why the Park was so controversial that people would be smearing supporters.”

“I applaud the reporter for using the news peg of the upcoming parole hearing to tell the story of parents grieving for their murdered daughter. She did an amazing job finding details that elevated this story into a must read. I would have liked to see what the parole hearing really meant higher in the story because it was unclear why the family was asking for letters of support.”

Collegiate Category 2: In-Depth Reporting

DIVISION A The Jambar, Youngstown State University

“This entry reflected a level of investigative, in-depth reporting which was unexpectedly refreshing. The four-part series, “Black at YSU” was an honest, realistic look at the sense of alienation on the campus and in the classroom. This well-organized series highlights other issues, including the university’s limited resources and lack of minority representation among paid educators and in student government. The disclaimer following the second article, which clarifies a potential conflict of interest between one of the reporters and a news source, was highly appreciated and should serve as a model for other papers to emulate. Excellent leads, top-notch writing and first-class research all dovetail together to encourage readers to look forward to the next installment of the series.” Credits: Justin Wier, Liam Bouquet, Christina Young

DIVISION A The Post,

Ohio University “This is a compelling, informative overview of a sexual assault victim’s journey through an OSU program and the overburdened program’s challenges. Excellent lead captures a reader’s attention, the seamless flow of comments, and information keeps it. There is an honest candor here that is a compelling read. Hats off to reporter Julia Fair!” Credits: Julia Fair

DIVISION A The Clarion, Sinclair Community College

“The initial impression - that this was going to be just another boring student cheating story - was quickly dispelled in the very first paragraph. ‘Caught in the act: Academic Infidelity’ is a thought-provoking examination of the high cost of cheating and the consequential impact on the classroom and ethics. The ‘confessions of a college cheater’ segment was particularly enlightening. This was, without question, a level of reporting exceeding what I’ve seen by some of these students’ professional peers. Congratulations, not only to these students, but to their instructors and professors, who are training the next generation of great journalists! Regretfully, there could only be three winners, but justifiable compliments to all the reporters!” Credits: Barton Kleen

“The combination of the different stories by different authors, and yet all tied together on student health issues, was the best of the class. This entry stood out.

“The Athens News and reporter Conor Morris examine an issue in great need of accountability journalism: sexual assault on campus. He reports that at Ohio University it’s not even clear what university procedure is for reporting sexual assault. He provides an essential element missing in today’s reporting: context. The reader sees how OU compares to other Ohio campuses. Conor provides a powerful fact that will make both parents and students shake their heads in disbelief and ask ‘WHY?’ Conor confronts a common problem when reporting on a university: the inability to talk to those responsible for making decisions. He does a marvelous job with documentation. Congratulations for solid, substantive reporting on an issue of not only local - but national - importance.” Credits: Conor Morris, David DeWitt

“Oh no, another government report. But those government reports examining the issues of our communities can shed light on both problems and solutions. Phillip Buffington examines an incredibly important report, one that affects every community in the state: the Local Report Card data. He goes through that data and finds what is essential for his local readers. Poverty has direct correlation to education.

DIVISION C Pike County News Watchman

“In the digital age, it’s remarkable that the police put up a billboard asking for tips to help solve a brutal murder case, but citizens have called with more than 500 tips. This is a horrible crime. Multiple killings. Victims shot multiple times. Commercial marijuana. It would be easy to sensationalize this case, something Ms. Stanley thankfully resists. Indeed, she reports on how high school students have reacted to coverage by outside media. Ms. Stanley demonstrates the benefit of a reporter understanding the community. She reports the unraveling details of the investigation and its impact on the community with detailed precision. This is excellent work on a difficult subject.”

This is an excellent series of reports on a group of people who truly provide an important public service.”

This is an important local debate that Gallatin handles with care and precision.” Credits: Jeff Gallatin

DIVISION D Solon Times

“The Yellow Springs News revisits a subject highly worthwhile of review, thought and reflection: the police shooting of John Crawford. In this small town newspaper, we see what is too often missing from major metropolitan newspapers, network and cable news: context. How many in-depth reports have you seen on network television about how officers are trained? Diane Chiddister and Dylan Taylor-Lehman provide context for what happened in this instance. In four paragraphs, the reporters provide information to any thoughtful reader that will make the reader stop and think about how and why this tragedy happened. Time and again, the Yellow Springs News team reports with precision and detail, details crucial to our understanding of what happened and why. This is the kind of thoughtful reporting that needs to be done and should be done on an event that has the potential to tear a community apart. My congratulations to the Yellow Springs News on excellent work.”

“I looked at the May 10, 2016 edition of the Solon Times, and it made me remember when I was a reporter in a small market, and it made me a little bit tired. There was Sue Reid’s byline on three stories. On March 31, her byline is on three more stories. And so it goes, the life of the local reporter. On one she got help from Krista Kano. But given the workload, this is impressive. The series on the Solon Police Dispatch system examines an issue that can seem far away until the citizen needs an emergency response. This is a crucial decision for the safety of the community, and the Solon Times has done a superb job of examining the multiple issues affecting the decision. This is important local reporting, and it’s well done.”

Zay Crawford’s parents, Chasilee and Jason, lifted their daughter in the air after her naming ceremony last Thursday at Shawnee Park in Xenia. Family, friends and supporters gathered together to celebrate Zay’s new name — Zay Irene Crawford — and her still-unfolding journey.

Becoming Zay: growing up trans By Audrey Hackett It was an ordinary Thursday. The last Thursday in April, grey, a little chilly. The lobby of the Greene County Courthouse in Xenia was quiet. And then, single �le through the security doorway, a crowd of two dozen surged in. Grandmothers, grandfather, aunt, uncle, parents, friends, suppor ters. Swirling around a girl on the cusp of something big. She consented to pictures, hugs. She looked calm. One foot �dgeted ever so slightly in its taupe high heel. Dressed in �lmy peach, she radiated joy. Twelve thir ty. Time to squeeze into Probate Court, Judge Thomas O’Diam presiding. “You are Isaiah Russell Crawford at this point in time, correct?” A whispered “yes.” The judge recited a new name. “This is what you wish to do?” “Yes.” Strong and clear this time. No questions, no objections. “I grant it.” And just like that, it was over. The same girl sat, with her parents, at the courtroom table. Now she bore the name of Zay. Zay Irene Crawford. Irene after her Oklahoma grandmother, Eleanor Irene Van Buskirk. Zay after ... Zay, the person she knew she was. “This is going to sound cheesy, but when he said my name, there was this wave that came over me — this wave of happiness looking up to the future,” Zay said later that afternoon. Her eyes, magni�ed by glasses, were both serious and shining.

kee on her mother’s side.) Zay’s mother, Chasilee Crawford, said the family had talked about changing Zay’s name for a long time. Zay had experimented with girls’ names like Amber and Candy, but came back around to Zay. Chasilee was pleased. “She’s always been my Zay,” Chasilee said on Saturday. The family has lived in Yellow Springs since 2010, but has ties that go deeper. Zay’s father, Jason Crawford, attended the Antioch School as a child; his mother, Kit Crawford, was a longtime teacher there, retiring nine years ago. Even before moving to the village, Zay and her brother, Jeffrey, had attended the Antioch School. In an article published in the Cincinnati Enquirer last year, Jason, a pilot, and

Chasilee, a nurse, said they chose to live in Yellow Springs because its “progressive vibe” felt comfortable. Zay was about seven when the family moved here. She already had a strong sense of herself as a girl — a sense that didn’t match the biological sex of her birth. She begged to wear girls’ clothes, gravitated to girls’ play, to girls as playmates. The family, Chasilee said on Saturday, sought a safe place to let Zay be Zay. Yellow Springs has been that place, Chasilee said. “She’s been allowed to be herself to grow and �ourish as a young female.” Zay joined the Girl Scouts here — at their invitation. Over the past couple of years, she’s walked in the lead of the Yellow Springs Pride parade. C O N T I N U E D O N PA G E 8

‘Always been my Zay’

Zay was a nickname at �rst, bestowed at a young age. But it stuck, Zay said on Saturday, two days after her legal name change. And it �t her better than Isaiah, her birth name. At six, Zay recalled, a kid on the playground asked her if she was a boy or a girl. Her reply? “I’m half girl, half boy, half Native American.” (She is Creek, Chippewa and Chero-

In a letter released to the News on Tuesday from Special Prosecutor Kevin Talebi of Champaign County, Talebi stated he has concluded his review of charges against a Yellow Springs police of�cer, and found a lack of evidence to move forward. While Talebi stated he could not cite the name of the accused since he has decided to not �le charges, the case is that of longtime Of�cer Dennis Nipper. The letter brings to a close an almost �ve-month period during which Nipper, a 44-year veteran of the department, was on unpaid administrative leave after being accused in December of misconduct. Police Chief Dave Hale called in the Bureau of Criminal Investigation, or BCI, to investigate the accusation, after which Prosecutor Talebi reviewed the BCI investigation, ultimately �nding a lack of evidence. “Upon review of the investigative materials and evidence collected, I have concluded that there is insuf�cient evidence of any criminal wrongdoing to justify a presentation to a Greene County Grand Jury.” Talebi wrote in a letter to Greene County Prosecutor Stephen Haller, which he released to the News. “I am writing you now to inform you that my investigation into this matter is concluded and that the investigative case will be closed.” In an email Tuesday, Village Manager Patti Bates stated that, “It will be good for the Nippers and the Village to put this behind us and move forward.” Nipper will be released from administrative leave and put back into the police department schedule, she wrote. Chief Dave Hale was out of the of�ce for the week and not available for comment. In an interview Tuesday, Nipper stated

that he will return to working for the department. “I want to go back. That’s what I do,” he said, stating that returning to the department “feels like going home.” Nipper also thanked his family and the many villagers who have supported him during this time, along with the BCI investigators, Prosecutor Talebi and his attorney, Adrian King of Xenia. Nipper had been placed on unpaid administrative leave on Dec. 22 by Chief Hale, who stated that accusations of misconduct had been made against Nipper, but that he could not reveal the nature of the charges.The BCI �nished its investigation in about a month, after which the investigation was reviewed by Talebi, a special prosecutor brought to the case by the Greene County prosecutor, who cited a potential con�ict of interest. In a January interview, spokesperson Dan Tierney of the BCI stated that the agency’s investigation into the charge, which took less than a month, was a relatively short one for that agency, which is part of the of�ce of the Ohio Attorney General. In contrast, Prosecutor Talebi took about three months to review the case. In an interview on Tuesday, he stated that the review took “longer than intended,” and was sidelined because his of�ce was also working on a case involving the murder of a child. “Other parts of my workload were more pressing,” he said. According to the letter from Talebi, Nipper had been accused of sexual assault by an alleged victim, who also accused him of acting inappropriately towards several others. However, “there are serious evidentiary concerns” about the accusation, according to Talebi, including a lack of C O N T I N U E D O N PA G E 5

The writings of Marcel Proust gave rise to the term “Proustian memory,” a vivid recollection of childhood that arises after sensing something we associate with our youth. Anyone who steps through the doors of the Yellow Springs Community Children’s Center will be �ooded with memories of this kind: the texture of wooden blocks and the sound of children laughing bring back memories of a time when we played endlessly and were given license to live in our imaginations. The Children’s Center has been creating these memories in Yellow Springs for 70 years. On Thursday, May 12, the center will be throwing a party to celebrate its many decades of care. “Almost everyone in town has some kind of connection to the Children’s Center,” said Mary Stukenberg, the center’s interim director. “It will be a feel-good celebration.” The anniversary party will held from 5–7 p.m. at the center’s longtime location on Corry Street. The Nap Room will turn into a sort of playroom for adults, offering hors d’oeuvres, wine, music and dancing, replete with disco ball. “It will become an anti-nap room,” Stukenberg said. People are encouraged to bring photos and stories to the party, she said. She’d like to tell the history of

the center anecdotally, and wants to create a timeline of the important moments that have shaped the center’s legacy. The Center’s “Big Toy” — the iconic wooden play place — will be rededicated, and there will also be an art auction featuring pieces made by children at the center, with all proceeds bene�tting the school. Everyone who has or wants to have a connection to the Children’s Center is invited, Stukenberg said. The beginnings of the Children’s Center can be traced back to 1926, when Jane Cape, Julia Turner and Lucy Morgan put into action their plans for an interracial daycare, a rarity at the time. While the daycare relocated somewhat frequently in those early years, it strived to maintain its philosophy of letting children “test their powers” by treating them as autonomous individuals interacting with their environment. The �rst established forerunner of today’s center was the Yellow Springs Community Nursery School. It opened on Oct. 14, 1946, with 19 students to start and SUBMITTED PHOTO six more anticipated in November.

Though the City of Solon has a detailed process in place to close its dispatch center and join the Chagrin Valley Dispatch in the coming months, personnel are starting to feel the impact now. Morale is mixed, Police Chief Christopher P. Viland said of his dispatchers. “Change is always difﬁcult, even good change.” The target date for the switchover is Aug. 1, he said, which is subject to change due

to “so many moving parts.” City Council voted in favor of joining CVD last month, a regional dispatch center with 13 other communities to handle police, fire and other emergency calls.

Solon looks for answers to why sewers overflow By SUE REID The city is still looking to find out why millions of gallons of water gushes through its sewage system and overwhelms its sewage treatment plant during heavy rains. For the past decade, the city has been trying to track down the problem, which can cause everything from basement flooding to untreated sewage to overflow at the Water Reclamation Plant into the Beaver Meadow Run, a Cuyahoga River tributary.

But while the city has spent $4.2 million to correct many problems over the past six years, it has yet to ﬁnd the “smoking gun,” Water reclamation Plant Director Paul Solanics told City Council’s Public Works Committee last week. “We haven’t found the culprit, such as one big, major break or cross connection that is causing big increase in ﬂows to our plant,” Mr. Solanics said.

Songwriters lazily fill lyrical voids with ‘hey’

M 325 ENS.COM 4010 561

LUKE FURMAN is a sophomore studying journalism.

Among the most commonly used interjections in music is the word “hey.” Regardless of if the song is a bass-heavy, 100 percent certified banger or a brash punk rock anthem, “hey” is found all over the musical spectrum, often used to add a vocal amplification of instrumental intensity. For example, in its 1993 hit “Shine,” Collective Soul used “hey” between bouts of grunge-y, but undeniably catchy, guitar riffs to give the listener a vocal hook to chant with each iteration. It is an example of the word being used in its appropriate foreground context that adds to the song. However, for as many times as “hey” is used to strengthen a track, it is used as a passive, meaningless filler. The biggest culprit of the misuse of “hey” is DJ Mustard, who uses syncopated “heys” between claps in nearly all his songs. Although it might be considered a signature style like his bouncy synths or intro-catchphrase, Mustard’s use of syncopated “heys” in major hits, like Tyga’s “Rack City,” B.o.B.’s “HeadBand” and a variety of YG songs, has become less of a trademark and more of an exhibition of lazy producing. Those “heys” don’t engage the audience but rather act as cushion for the mix, which could easily be filled by a more interesting and unique sound choice. However, despite its shallow function,

Mustard’s practice has been embraced by other artists and producers such as Iggy Azalea in “Fancy,” DJ Snake in “Turn Down For What” and, more recently, Jidenna in “Classic Man.” And although those examples might have been an attempt to replicate some of Mustard’s success, the fact remains that the “heys” still do not work and have continued to gain traction as just another hackneyed hiphop trope. Yet, hip-hop is not the only party guilty for the diminishing effect of “hey.” The early 2010s folk revival, spurred on by the success and popularity of Mumford & Sons, helped to re-incorporate the syllable into chanting rather than actual lyrical content referring to the meaning of the song like in “Hey You,” “Hey Jude” or “Hey Hey What Can I Do?” With hits like The Lumineer’s incredibly sappy “Hey Ho” in 2012 and Of Mice and Men’s “Little Talks” in 2011, modern folk musicians have shouted “hey” so much it has grown as clichéd as their lumberjack clothes or home-brewed beer. And although the “heys” are not quite as passive as the looped samples in hip-hop, they still serve little musical significance because they’re not based around instrumental phrases or progress a lyrical narrative or emotion. They’re just there, not adding anything but another layer of percussive sound. They probably wouldn’t even be listed in the lyrics

sheet, if those exist anymore. Granted, there have been cases of “hey” being successfully used merely for its sound and desired effect, but most of those songs made an effort to use it in the forefront, rather than the background. OutKast’s 2003 megahit “Hey Ya” uses the syllable ironically, supported by the subsequent lyrics “y’all don’t want to hear me/ you just want to dance.” And in 2006’s “Snow (Hey Oh)” by Red Hot Chili Peppers, the word is featured so prominently that it becomes tied to the emotional meaning of the song and not simply thrown in for good measure. The same goes with the band’s song “Hey,” released the same year, which embraces the term instead of nearly discarding it. It seems that I have a lot to say about “hey,” but when it really comes down to it, it has to do with the growth of lazy songwriting. Listeners should not let musicians get away with throwing useless words in their songs just for their popular appeal. What used to be an energetic interjection of spontaneity and excitement has now become formulaic and commercialized. And, frankly, that’s nothing to shout about.

I’m a big fan of mobile games. The busier I get with school, the more I rely on the mobile platform to be my de-stressor when I need some gaming.

Are We Afraid? by Anna Dembowski

iri will tell you that “we have nothing to fear but fear itself. And silent kittens.” Though I guarantee you he was not worried about silent kittens when giving his first inaugural address, President Franklin Roosevelt stepped into the presidency in the height of the Great Depression and addressed the crowd with the famous words, “…the only thing we have to fear is fear itself – nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance.” Though more than 80 years have passed since FDR spoke those words, the consequences of fear are no less real. The only thing we have to fear is the result of being fearful – regret, thoughtless assumptions, a lack of understanding, immobility. This election year, fear seems to be in the spotlight. Fear of increased unemployment. Fear of lost industry. Fear of insufficient wages. Fear of terrorism. Fear of injustice. Fear of unrestrained immigration. Fear of fewer opportunities. Fear of the truth. Fear of him

and of her and of them and of those people. Fear of that group, that organization, that religion. Fear of freedom or the lack thereof. Fear of too much government or not enough. Fear of the rich or fear of enabling the poor. We are afraid that the November 2015 attacks in Paris will next be on American soil. We are afraid that the San Bernardino attack will not be confined to San Bernardino. We are afraid that the economy will get worse before it gets better. We are afraid that gender and race equality will never be achieved. We are afraid that religious freedom will cease to be a right. We are afraid that refugees and immigrants will flood the country, claiming our opportunity as theirs and trading our safety for their freedom. We are afraid both of the unknown and of change. But instead of cradling our fear, what if we exchanged it for gratitude? Let’s be grateful for today, for this life, for this place. Let’s be grateful for that breath, that sunshine, that friend. Let’s be grateful for that job, that paycheck, that neighbor. And instead of cradling our fear, let’s figure out how to deal with it. Perhaps in the midst of fear, you learn how to love. Perhaps in the midst of fear, you learn how to trust. Perhaps in the midst of fear, you learn how to comfort. And perhaps in the midst of fear, you see things anew. As I write this, my thoughts drift to life after May 7 – the day on which I will graduate from Cedarville. I fear failing to pursue

John Carroll University

If you find yourself paralyzed by fear – fear of the unknown, of change, of failure – remind yourself that you’ve made it across the valley before.

Credits: Carly Cundiff Column 2 Three percent By Carly Cundiff, World News Editor 18 The Iowa Caucus has come and gone. All of the debates, town hall meetings and news coverage have finally reached the moment it has been leading up toward. If you are a political junkie like me, then you probably have noticed several themes that have run through almost all the debates, like gun control, immigration and the Islamic State. Well, I am going to hop up onto my proverbial soap box and take on something that has been badgering me since the very first debate: Planned Parenthood. I do not align myself with any party, mostly because I have noticed that my views are scattered across the political spectrum. But I do believe very passionately that Planned Parenthood should continue to operate. Planned Parenthood, for those who do not know, is a women’s health organization that provides relatively inexpensive and professional care for women. Because it is less expensive and accepts most insurance providers, Planned Parenthood tends to pop up in more impoverished areas simply because there is a need for cheap health care. The controversy surrounding Planned Parenthood comes from the fact that they also happen to provide abortions. Here is where I am going to get a little preachy, so if you don’t want to hear it, I suggest you stop here. Out of all of the people that come into Planned Parenthood, only three percent are getting abortions according to a 2014 study. Three percent. That’s it. Do you know what the other 97 percent of women are getting? STD tests, birth control, pap smears, breast exams and prenatal care, all by a caring, experienced medical professional. The protesters lining up outside of Planned Parenthoods across America are protesting what only one in every 33 women are going in there to do. These people are screaming at more women going in to get checked for breast cancer than they are women getting abortions. And if a woman is choosing to have an abortion (which is her legal right), she is having it done by a professional with a medical background who will provide her with a safe, caring space free of judgment.

my dreams, and I fear that I won’t serve God well. I fear beginning my adult life far away from friends and family, should the circumstances arise. I fear a new routine, a new city, a new me. But what is the purpose of fear if it does not motivate us to do more, to do better? From start to finish, the past 12 months have been ripe with unknowns and changes, and at times I’ve felt close to crumbling. I’m a planner. I’m not (yet) a fan of spontaneity. But in the past year I have also discovered a passion, a motivation, a dream. As a result of being itched by fear, I’ve gained a new perspective. Most notably, when I am weak, then God is strong. I cannot, but God, you can. When I am the most uncomfortable – the most challenged, the most “afraid,” the most out of my element – then I am able to most glorify him. My fears do not paralyze me, nor do they haunt me. Rather, they are a challenge that I can’t wait to face head on. If anything, I may be too eager to squash them (read: 30 job applications in 27 weeks). My reading list sums up my aspirations, fears and introverted hopes pretty well: • “If You Lived Here, I’d Know Your Name: News from Small-Town Alaska” by Heather Lende (Bucket list item: work for a newspaper in Alaska) • “Truth and Duty: The Press, the President, and the Privilege of Power” by Mary Mapes (Watch the movie “Truth” and you’ll understand.) • “All Groan Up: Searching for Self, Faith, and a Freaking Job!” by Paul Angone (Adulting is hard, folks.) • “Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking” by Susan Cain (I want to figure out my super power. Don’t you?)

Opinion

Student leaders must bust out of the complacent culture on campus

Striving to be elite in OilerNation By Sarah Stubbs Editor “People aren’t committed to being elite today.” These were some of the opening words of Tim Kight, CEO and football coach for The Ohio State University, in his presentation about leadership and what it takes to create and sustain an elite culture. Kight was one of the speakers at the Ohio Newspaper Association conference I attended last week. As a student leader I know first-hand what it’s like to deal with people who aren’t always reliable or who might not always give 100 percent. I also know that I’m not alone in this experience, a handful of my best friends are student leaders, too. It’s frustrating – but it’s life and it’s a part of any leadership role. I constantly have to remind myself that I cannot force people to care or be as excited as I am

about some of the things I’m involved with. So, when Kight opened up with that line – which I initially thought was a little harsh – my ears perked up and I quietly agreed. I don’t think people (the majority of people, at least) are committed to being elite today. Kight went on to say other one-liners that held some truth: “Talent is a gift. Toughness is a choice,” and “We are fragile people, and that won’t work.” Although I would never think to put these concepts so bluntly, I agree 100 percent. I find that a lot of my peers in this millennial generation simply want to do the bare minimum. College students, even the ones that get straight-A’s, aren’t going above and beyond if they don’t have to. Why should we go above and beyond, though? For what? It’s like when you’re in class and your professor is explaining all of the steps in a new assignment or project, you’re thinking: “OK, so

that’s what I should do. What do I have to do to pass this class?” We live in a culture of complacency. I don’t think this is because no one wants to stand out as the one who works the hardest or the one who cares the most, I think it’s simply because we just don’t want to be bothered. We are afraid of being uncomfortable. Change is hard and as Kight put it, “emotionally uncomfortable.” No one wants to be discomforted or inconvenienced. But, without discomfort we become complacent. If you’re not uncomfortable – ever – you’re not growing. And isn’t college, life, all about growth? Are we truly striving for personal and intellectual growth during our time in OilerNation? Or are we simply trying to add lines to our resumes and walk through the arch with that very expensive piece of paper in our hands? During the presentation, Kight started some discussions about how we could beat this culture of complacency in our news rooms. He brought up mission statements and how most companies or organizations spend more

time deciding which font to put their mission statements in than they do discussing them or living them. At the Pulse, we’ve been talking about coming up with a mission statement for the past year or so. My adviser suggested that we write one so we can put it on our website and Pulse staffers would have something concrete to remind them why they contribute to the Pulse and what the Pulse stands for. I loved this idea as soon as I heard it, and have had it on my agenda to discuss with the Pulse team on several different occasions, but I feel like I can never seem to get enough people to the meetings in the first place. It never seems to be the right time. According to Kight, a mission statement shouldn’t just be on a wall or website, it should be in your heart and something you can discuss freely. When you know your mission, your purpose, you’re going to be more willing to experience discomfort because you know that it’s purposeful. You know that uncomfortable feeling will only grow you and your team. A lot of what Kight said that morning struck a chord with me. I introduced myself to him after his presentation and shared with him a couple concerns I have in my leadership position as editor of the Pulse. He pointed out to me that you can’t build a culture you don’t talk about. He also said organizational change starts with personal change. I realized that I never started that discussion about a mission statement because I knew it would

be uncomfortable. It’s easy for me to say, “Well, no one is here or even cares so why should we discuss it?” It’s easy for me, and anyone, to place blame, complain, and defend your tried and true ways. It’s easy to stick with your routine, even when it’s not giving you the results you want. I’ve realized that I’m fortunate to have the leadership positions that I have. I don’t take them for granted, but I will admit that sometimes I am just going through the motions and am putting things off that I think are vital to the success of my team – behavior that I don’t tolerate. I learned last week that you don’t get the culture you proclaim, you get the culture you build. I hope that I can build a passionate, discipline-driven culture with the Pulse and all of the other student groups and organizations I’m in. I don’t want to believe that my generation is complacent and doesn’t strive to be elite. We’re better than that. I’m better than that. Looking forward, I won’t tolerate behavior from others that is resistant, impulsive, or on autopilot. I can only say this because I don’t tolerate that behavior for myself, either. We will never know success or how great we can be if we don’t push the envelope and try to go above and beyond. Why settle for mediocre when we know we can be great?

This time he did it in front of their 3-yearold son. “I looked at my baby and his eyes were so big,” she said. “I thought, what is he learning from this?” She didn’t want her son to know the kind of violent childhood she had, or to think it was OK to hit a woman because his daddy hit his mom. She didn’t want to give her husband a chance to turn his violence toward their son. Love does not seek its own interests. As I stood listening to her, I watched her body straighten and her eyes brighten with resolve. She was ready to leave, to build a new life for her son. She

Hocking College’s Pr machine has careened off the road By Terry Smith Athens NEWS Editor

Whenever a woman is murdered during an act of domestic violence, I think of “Mary.” Love is patient, love is kind. I met her during my former life, when I was an arraignment court bailiff. As I did every morning before the judge took the bench, I checked the gallery, taking note of who was there and for what. She was standing near the door, hugging the wall near the entrance, silently exploring the room, eyes darting from the rows of seats to the locked door and heavy plastic pane that separated spectators from the courtroom, like she was looking for a way out. Love is not jealous or pompous. I asked if I could help her. She turned to look at me. I saw the thumbprints, dark against her amber skin, on either side of her throat. Her husband had been arrested the night before on a domestic violence charge, she said, and she was there to get a protection order. I took her into the

THE JAMBAR

Chris Froschauer came into the first Ohio State men’s soccer spring practice prepared to command the defense with his boisterous voice. He kept his composure when his team started the season 1-4-2. His eight straight wins that followed the rough first half of the season proved that his chemistry with the backline is now on point. By the above accounts, one could conclude that Froschauer is a seasoned Buckeye — a veteran that climbed the OSU roster to become a starter his senior year. However, the senior goalie has only been a Buckeye for 16 games.

“(Froschauer) was one of those guys that right away (made) himself known.”

For the past couple years, Gerrad Rohan and Billy Salem have been roommates. Both were members of the University of Akron baseball team. After the Zips dissolved their baseball program, the pair needed new universities to continue their baseball careers. Luckily, both were able to find a new home with the Youngstown State University baseball team. Before the 2016 season started, Salem had a choice to make. He had offers from other higher profile universities, but Salem toured YSU with head coach Steve Gillispie and decided to commit over the summer. “I talked to UCONN [University of Connecticut], Northwestern a little bit and some smaller schools,” Salem said. “Ultimately, this was the right fit for me, and I’m happy I made the decision I made to come here. “It was a good fit. From the time I talked to coach Gillispie and coach Smallcomb, I just fell in love with the way they handled their business, the way they talked to me and they came at me in the right way. Once I got on campus I fell in love with the school, and I haven’t regretted it since the guys here are awesome and the coaches are good.” Salem took his visit with Rohan and Gillispie. They both decided that if their academics successfully transferred from Akron, they would both

attend YSU for their final season of baseball. “I was in Connecticut. I flew home, and he came on a visit with me,” Rohan said. “Him [Salem], coach G [Gillispie] and I toured campus, toured the field, and we sat down and talked about it. We decided if our schooling and everything transfers over, this would be a good fit for us.” Rohan said the two have developed a connection after playing with each other for the past three seasons. Rohan said the two have spent time training at the Watson and Tressel Training Site, putting in extra time in the batting cages. attends team practices Monday through FriBoth Akron transfers have played off for theday Penguins so far season from 5 this a.m. until the start of classes at 8 and have been some of the more cona.m. school day includes classes, chapel sistent bats in theHis middle of the YSU lineup.

“This is a great editorial, identifying faults with a combined task force and forcefully arguing that the local police department no longer remain associated with it. The concerns raised – such as futility of the war on drugs, targeting of minorities and poor and militarization of the police – indicate the newspaper is willing to take an ethical stand on behalf of the vulnerable. The writing is cogent, forthright and well-researched rather than polemical. Overall, this is a wonderful illustration of public service journalism.” Credits: Diane Chiddister PA G E 4

EDITORIAL

End Task Force involvement When the News ran a series of articles last spring on local police and the community, we asked readers to take a survey about their preferences for the department. We had run two previous surveys, on different issues, but had a far greater response on the police topic — 477 people took part. Clearly, villagers care about their police department. The survey is relevant because this Monday, Nov. 16, Village Council will continue its discussion regarding whether the local department will remain a member of the ACE Task Force; recently, Council President Karen Wintrow stated that Council may vote on the issue at this meeting. There are several reasons why Yellow Springs should no longer be part of the Task Force. The force spends 65 percent of its time on drugrelated crime, and as many villagers have already pointed out, the War on Drugs is a failed war that targets minorities and the poor, resulting in this country’s dubious honor as having the world’s highest rate of incarceration. The War on Drugs is also linked with the militarization of American police, a trend that far too often escalates nonviolent situations into lifethreatening ones. The village, with its longtime traditions of tolerance, peacekeeping and respect for diversity, has no business supporting this activity. It’s also true that Yellow Springs is a safe place — in last spring’s survey, 93 percent of villagers said they feel safe here — with low crime rates that have remained steady or fallen over the years, and are comparable with other small towns. Aside from Yellow Springs, no other small towns are ACE Task Force members. And if the village in the future requires Task Force attention, the group will respond regardless of whether Yellow Springs is a member. Aside from the ethics of involvement, Task Force membership is expensive, with an annual cost of about $80,500 a year, an unnecessary cost in tight budget times. Task Force supporters say this expense is offset by proceeds from forfeitures of drug-related money and cars, which over the last �ve years has brought the department’s annual Task Force expense down to about $16,000 per year. Yet as several villagers at a recent forum pointed out, there are clearly ethical problems with police reaping �nancial bounty from their drug-related arrests in this way. In last spring’s News sur vey, more villagers (40 percent of those surveyed) favored leaving the Task Force, than remaining involved (35 percent). However, villagers came together regarding what they wanted to see change in the department, with an overwhelming majority, about 78 percent, seeking more engagement between local police and the community. Under Chief Dave Hale, the department is taking steps in this direction, and the Chief deserves our support for this effort. But there seems no good reason to continue local involvement in the Task Force, a style of policing that has little to do with community engagement, and too often targets minorities and the poor. Those who care about local policing — and that appears to include many villagers — would be wise to make their voices heard this Monday. — Diane Chiddister

rutus Buckeye kicked off his yearlong 50th birthday celebration Thursday in front an enthusiastic crowd of Ohio State students during the Office of Student Life’s Buckeye Kick-off at the Ohio Stadium. OSU’s favorite anthropomorphic nut spent the evening celebrating with old friends, including Athletic Director Gene Smith and players from the national champion-winning football team. He also spent time making new friends while helping introduce freshmen to some of the university’s most cherished traditions. “Welcome to the ‘Shoe,” Smith said to first-year attendees. “This is your new home, right here — seven days a year.” Students also practiced quick counts with the football team, met Student Life Vice President Javaune Adams-Gaston, sang along to “Hang on Sloopy” and “Carmen Ohio,” and watched the marching band spell Script Ohio and play “Across the Field,” in celebration of the song’s 100th anniversary.

Some professors have asked students to sign up for an online app, Top Hat, instead of buying a clicker to answer questions and polls in the classroom. “We needed a simple and secure and affordable way for students to participate in live lectures,” said Travis Ritter, senior associate director of learning systems and infrastructure for the Office of Distance Education and eLearning. Ritter said the previous system used for students to participate in lectures, a clicker system, forced students to buy a $40 clicker with limited functionality. He added in a follow-up email OSU’s purchase of a university-wide license from Top Hat cost a total of $120,000 per year, or about $2 per student. The license means the app is free for all Ohio State students. However, Ritter said some students had gotten a pop-up asking TOPHAT CONTINUES ON 2

Ohio State, one of the 11 founding investors of the technology consortium Unizin, is pushing the boundary for digital course materials by adding more resources for faculty members who prefer doing things electronically. Unizin, which was founded by Colorado State University, Indiana University, University of Florida and University of Michigan in June 2014, was created with the purpose of fostering an effective learning environment in an online setting. OSU joined the group last December. Because of the partnership with Unizin, OSU now has access to shared digital content with other

Pete’s Pride celebrated their first year last Thursday, shortly after registering their 1,000th volunteer. Jim Tressel, president of YSU, founded Pete’s Pride on July 11, 2014 with the initial goal of creating connections and developing networks between alumni and students. The organization is composed primarily of volunteers. Heather Belgin, the assistant director of alumni engagement, serves as the head of the organization and is the only

one paid for her time. According to Tressel, that is a lot more than what was expected at the beginning of the project, even after employing similar programs at other schools. “I felt that the community and the alums [at YSU] had a deeper passion for their school,” Tressel said. Belgin said it began from tapping into the alumni society and expanding. The project has grown from there into what it is today. “At the beginning of this project, we were just sending our correspondence, reaching out to students and gathering

volunteers. That was the main focus, getting people involved, but now that we have reached that goal we can expand our plans further,” Belgin said The main focus of the organization is to recruit future students, mentor current students and engage with the alumni. Pete’s Pride helps with recruitment initiatives, such as a letter campaign in which 4,000 handwritten letters were sent to prospective students speaking about the YSU experience. They are goodwill ambassadors that are here to help past, present and future students and their parents and make everyone feel welcome and in-

volved. Members of Pete’s Pride are mostly alumni and friends of the University. Their main goal is to create connections with current and future students and get them involved in the YSU community. Belgin said one of their future goals is to work on a new software mentoring program. “Students will be able to log in and work with a Pete’s Pride member in any capacity that they need,” Belgin said. “They can search in the database for anyone in their career field. They would connect online and hopefully meet face-toface, and the students can get

professional mentoring.” At the anniversary party, many members of Pete’s Pride discussed what inspired them to become part of Pete’s Pride. Most said it was the interaction they got to have with students. Catherine Cala, the director of alumni engagement, is one of them. “The most enjoyable part of being part of Pete’s Pride is the interaction with students. Getting to work with them and give them the wisdom that they need in their college career,” Cala said.

Give Back Go Forward: Volunteering With a Purpose SAMANTHA PHILLIPS sphillips@student.ysu.edu

Senior citizens volunteering in the community are beto earn tuition waivers they can give to students or use themselves at Youngstown State University and Eastern Gateway Community College. GIVE Back GO Forward allows those over 60 who volunteer over 100 hours at one of three local charities to earn a three-credit-hour tuition waiver. Students are permitted to use two waivers per year, and they have five years to use them before they expire. The participating charities are Inspiring Minds, which prepares students for college, United Way’s Success Before Six, which prepares students for kindergarten, and Success After Six, which focuses on improving retention and test scores for students in grades K-6. Jeff Robinson, director of communications for the Ohio Department of Higher Education, said that a collaborative effort formed this program. “There’s been some discussion between the chancellor, the Department of Aging director, [YSU] President Jim Tressel and the Youngstown/ Warren Regional Chamber president [Tom Humphries], who is on our board of regents,” Robinson said. “It just came together through some con-

versations. Everybody agreed that [Youngstown] would be a good place to pilot something like this.” Tressel said the university is leading the way with this program. “We were talking about how we could be helpful and we came up with this pilot program. We want to be a model for people to look after in this state,” Tressel said. Sara Molski, assistant policy director at the Board of Regents, said there will be no state funding for the program. “The institution stepped up and made a commitment. The

institutions actually waive the credits,” Molski said. She credits the participating charities with the success of GIVE Back GO Forward. “One of the benefits of this program is that it’s very community driven. The community agencies themselves … they’re the ones who are on the ground, recruiting the volunteers, training the volunteers for hours,” Molski said. “We will be getting monthly reports from them, so we are waiting to see the first month, how things transpire.” Robinson said they are grateful for the participating

groups’ organizations, including Mature Services, who will help keep track of the volunteers’ hours. “It’s not just us. There are a lot of people involved who are making this a reality, so we are thankful they stepped up and agreed to do this, and we hope to see a positive difference in the community,” Robinson said. Senior citizens who have already volunteered can count completed hours towards the 100 hours needed to earn a tuition waiver. Molski and Robinson said they worked with the

Youngstown/Warren Regional Chamber to find programs that benefit the youth in the community. As the program continues to grow, they hope to sign on more non-profits, and the goal is for other communities in the state to replicate the program. “Hopefully that volunteering and being around kids from a younger generation can give [the volunteer a] physical and mental health boost. Hopefully it’s a win-win for everyone involved,” Robinson said. Laura Weymer, resource development associate at United Way, said she has seen an impact on both students and volunteers within the program. “We have three women that are in our Success After Six program right now,” Weymer said. “The volunteers and the students have gotten to know each other and love being around each other. They have both learned so much from each other and enjoy the program. The volunteers say they look forward to seeing the kids again.” In September, Laura will be contacting the Mahoning County Retired Teachers Association to find out if some of those people would be interested in volunteering. “It’s been a great partnership so far. We definitely enjoy it so far, and we don’t see that changing,” she said. “We look forward to doing it again next year.” GIVE BACK PAGE 3

I love going shopping and seeing what the new style is for every season, plus I read all the style magazines to see what the celebrities are wearing. I will be around campus all year looking for trendsetters to feature in The Lantern. Another semester of school is upon us, and back-to-school style is in full effect. Thinking of what outfits we are going to wear for the first week of school is something we all plan for weeks. It is still in the point of the season where we cannot go completely into fall wardrobe but still have a summer influence for a little. Asking students around campus, I learned a lot of what each of them planned on wearing for when they go back to school. Nicole Johnson, a third-year in health promotion, nutrition and exercise science, told me that her back to school style is “new clothes that can make a statement for the school year.” She also goes for comfortable but also cute, like patterned shorts with a flowy tank top and sandals. Adina Esser, a third-year in fashion, said, “style is taking fashion and making a twist to it. Plus style is bringing clothes to life.” Her definition of back-toschool style is something that easily transitions from summer to fall, such as a dress with ankle boots. Marina Pashkova, professor of

Slavic and East European languages and cultures, said she likes to wear clothes that are dressy, but sometimes she likes to wear blue jeans. She added that she likes to stay along with the comfortable theme. Marra Kowall, a fourth-year in marketing, described back-toschool style as clothes you will wear multiple times in multiple ways. Pick outfits that you are going to wear more than once so more people will see your fabulous outfit. Kalynn Smith, a second-year in fashion, told me her style is more laid back and modern with a little edge, but still girly. When you see her, you can usually find her in a casual dress or an oversized t-shirt and leggings. Jackie Russell, a fourth-year in public affairs, told me her style is what she feels comfortable and pretty in. “Don’t think style is a certain way, but is instead how you feel in clothes,” Russell said. Finding out this information made me think — especially on the first day of school — you want something to stand out so you have the statement for the new year. First impressions are always important. Also, clothes are just clothes. You need to make the style yours, change it and make it represent you. Good back-to-school fashion is dressing up your clothes a bit because that just makes us feel so fabulous inside by giving us confidence. Rock your own personal style — you should feel gorgeous anyway. Make your own fashion statement. The semester is upon us, and autumn style is here. I cannot wait to see your glamorous outfits on campus!

Wexner Center to elevate “Tron” with 70 mm projection Playing for only two days, the ﬁlm is a rarity due to its uncommon format SADE TAVAREZ Lantern Reporter tavarez.4@osu.edu Disney took a break from the fairy tales and princesses when it created “Tron,”— a film that is placed in a digital world where a video-game gladiator battles threats from artificial intelligence. As an attempt to improve the presentation of this film, it was upgraded to 70mm. The Wexner Center for the Arts has sought to bring this version to Ohio State’s campus. “Tron” will only be playing for two days, Friday and Saturday at 7 p.m., at the Wexner Center Film/Video Theater as part of the Center’s The Big Picture:

A Summer of 3D, Technicolor, CinemaScope and 70mm event. What makes the showing a big deal is that the film will be seen on 70mm film instead of the standard 35mm, Chris Stults, associate curator of the Wexner Center’s Film/Video Department, said. It’s a rare feat because the only theaters that show 70mm movies nowadays are older ones, because they have the type of projector that can display the rare film type. Erik Pepple, media and public-relations manager for the Wexner Center, explained the difference between the two formats of 35mm and 70mm film. “70mm film is a much higher resolution format than 35mm, meaning the image will have

greater depth and color,” he said in an email. “A really good 70mm print will actually look better in terms of image clarity and sharpness and color than many digital restorations. We’ve shown 70mm films here in the past — such as ‘The Master,’ ‘2001,’ ‘Vertigo’ — which were absolutely breathtaking.” Pepple also said it is rare to see a film projected in that format, so for film fans, these screenings are very special. “The ‘Tron’ print looks excellent too, and we’re very excited to have it here this weekend and to see such a groundbreaking film in terms of computer animation and special effects — and a film that is entertaining too — like ‘Tron’ is going to be a blast,” he said. Pepple said another reason for the 70mm film method not being TRON CONTINUES ON 6

photos by Jonathan Gallardo When you’re mad, these emojis will show it. These little symbols and faces can show what you’re really feeling deep down, especially if you are a big grudge holder. If you see one of these pop up on your screen, you might need to get ready for an apology!

Sassiness can be portrayed with a simple look. Everyone knows when you get an eye roll or a hair flip that you are dealing with a real life sassy diva. Same with emojis. If you see any of these, know that you might be dealing with a texting diva.

CAMPUS NEWS “For this size university we have excellent facilities.” Klimek said the quality of technology for the program has definitely improved throughout the years. “The things we had at the beginning are nothing like we have now as far as resources go,” he said. According to Klimek, the early nursing program had only one mannequin and no room dedicated exclusively for use as a lab. The professors had to rearrange the room and set up class every single day. “(Despite the challenges), we did it,” he said. “We had some of our best graduates come from those classes, which proves technology doesn’t make the program but just assists it.” Today, the School of Nursing has nearly 30 beds in three different labs on campus.

Now that we have all moved in and settled into our dorms or beatuup, rented houses and the first week of classes is coming to a close, I can’t help but feel excitement of the new semester quickly fade and start to be replaced with the fear, pressure, and stress the academic year can bring. All summer I craved a productive, rewarding routine. School is something I’ve always been good at and when I am at Editor The University of Findlay and in my routine of class, work, and extra curricular commitments I truly feel on-top-of-the-world and like my best self. I spent my entire summer at home in Akron, Ohio waitressing 50 hours a week and writing for a local arts and culture magazine, The Devil Strip, on my days off. The plan was to make as much money as possible, write as much as possible, and prepare myself as much as possible for the responsibilities I will have these next two years as editor of the Pulse. Well, that kind of happened. But it mostly didn’t. With money as my motivator, I worked so many

hours that my plans of writing and researching all summer were no longer at the forefront. Writing for The Devil Strip was rewarding in two ways: it was an escape from work and it allowed me to fall in love with my hometown for the first time ever. However, it wasn’t necessarily a Pulse-preparing experience, nor was it news-focused. I didn’t read all of the newspaper-y books that I bought and planned on studying, I didn’t keep up with my blog, and I never sat down to plan an entire new layout design like I thought I needed to do. Since I am only entering my junior year, I haven’t had the chance to take certain classes yet in my journalism major that most editors should probably have under their belts, like news editing or newspaper design. So the fear of inadequacy became extremely prevalent. I put a lot of pressure on myself to try to learn everything there is to learn about newspapers this summer when I knew that was not a realistic goal to have. And now as I am sitting in this quiet Pulse office after a full day of lectures and assigned readings and am putting the final touches on the first official issue of the Pulse for the 2015-2016 academic year, I am suddenly overwhelmed with a wave of confidence. With a full plate this semester: 18 credit hours, waitressing at Waldo Pepper’s, tutoring in the Writing Center, editing the Pulse and participating in UFTV, Lambda Pi Eta, and Arisitos Eklektos, I am extremely nervous about how I am going to do it all and when I am going to sleep.

But then my phone buzzes. My best friend and roommate Emily Pfahler texted me and asked if I was hungry and if she could bring me anything while I was working. Abbey Nickel, my predecessor and another one of my best friends, just left after checking in on me after her long day of work at the Courier. Shelby Weems, last year’s design editor, texted me earlier in the day urging me to keep her updated and let her know if I needed her help. Jake Miller and Hannah Dunbar randomly just brought me a cheese quesadilla from Taco Bell. I look around and I am sitting in a clean office – recently upgraded with a TV for watching the news while we work – with ready-togo content thanks to my eager faculty adviser, Amy Rogan. My friends and roommates always ask if I’m doing everything by myself because of the hours I have put into the Welcome Weekend issue and this first issue over the last couple of weeks but I always reply and assure them that I am far from being alone. Do I wish the Pulse and UF’s Communication Department had more manpower? Of course I do. But the presence of my driven classmates and loyal friends reminds me that everything is exactly as it should be. A wise man once said, “Start before you’re ready.” I think he was right.

UF appoints new VP of Business Affairs

Wyden is officially an Oiler in May By Jordyn Willis Web Editor, Staff Writer Leon Wyden Jr., CPA, CGMA, will take on the position of Vice President of Business Affairs for the University of Findlay in May. Wyden will have several responsibilities in this position that will ben-

efit the University. One of Wyden’s responsibilities will include the management of all activities related to UF’s financial system. He will also oversee departments such as the business office, print shop, postal services, University bookstore, physical plant, facilities, and the All-Hazards Training Center.

Wyden’s previous experience in these fields made him a perfect candidate for the position. Previously, Wyden was the president for finance and administration, treasurer, and assistant secretary who reported to the president and managed a 45-member team at Tiffin University.

Some of his major responsibilities at Tiffin were auditing and investments, auxiliary services, budget and financial analysis, financial accounting and reporting, facilities, and information technology. According to a UF news release, during his time at Tiffin University, Wyden developed Microsoft Dynamics Forecaster with faculty and staff.

Mark Delas was nothing short of impressive in his first start at pitcher for the University of Findlay Oilers. The right-handed freshman pitcher managed to throw a shut-out and a no-hitter against Gannon University leading the Oilers to a 2-0 victory. The no-hitter by Delas is the first for the Findlay Oilers since the 1996 season when the Oilers played the Tiffin Dragons and Jack Zaborowski held them hitless. On his course to the memorable game, Delas struck out six hitters and walked one as he pitched all seven innings. He retired the first seven hitters he faced and then also

The only base runners to reach for Gannon came in a third inning error and a fourth inning walk. “It feels great,” said Delas. “I found out that it was the first no-hitter in twenty years a couple of days after the game and I was very excited about it.” It was during the game when Delas realized that he was on pace to throw a no-hitter. “I realized I was throwing one when my friend Nick Niro brought it up to me,” said Delas. “It was around the fourth inning.” Although the thought of that may cause some pitchers to feel nervous, Delas felt good about the situation.

The Hawken boys were helpless watching the 100-yard backstroke race during the Division II state swim championships on Friday evening at Canton McKinley’s Branin Natatorium. With no one in the race, the Hawks watched their 14-point lead over University School in the hunt for a state runner-up trophy turn B7 Times into a two-point deficit as Prepper junior The March 3, 2016, Scott Bowman took third in 51.16 seconds. Cincinnati Seven Hills already had its second straight team title in the bag with 207 points. The Northeast Ohio spectators eyed the scorekeepers as they slid the University School and Hawken name plates out of position to swap spots on the manual scoreboard, 144142, with only the 100 breaststroke and 400 freestyle relay to go. “We’ve been telling ourselves all year that, come the state meet, we really need to get them,” Hawken senior breaststroker Sami Fares said about the Hawks’ rivalry with US. “And with two events left, my event and the 400 free relay, we were down two points.” Fares swam out of lane two and US senior Roee Perry out of lane three for the breaststroke with the Prepper frog kicker leading by 0.35 second at the second turn. But with his bring-it-home speed, Fares spun his motor into overdrive to take third in 58.46 seconds, while Perry finished fourth in 58.85 seconds. Fares’ jubilee was even greater than event winner Hudson McDaniel, a sophomore from Ashland who clocked 56.78 seconds. The Hawken crowd was roaring so loud that McDaniel must have been wondering what the heck was going on as he was the only swimmer from his entire school competing at the meet. The Hawks pulling within one point of US, 159-158, heading into the final relay of the meet was the culprit. “I mean, I finished, and I actually saw I touched in front (of Perry), and I looked over to the stands back there, and I looked over to (Hawken head coach Jim) Bocci, and everyone was screaming, and I was like, ‘They’re screaming for me,’” Fares said about the final race of his high school career. by Philip Botta

So to go out like this, like, to end my high school career holding a trophy, doing something that the team my sophomore year did, it’s absolutely incredible.

The pair was seeded one-two in the center lanes for the 500 freestyle, after going 4:33.25 and 4:34.63 in prelims. In the finals, Rakovec finished fourth in 4:35.10 and Bates was fifth in 4:36.39, while freshman Flores took 11th in 4:46.12 for a monstrous 35 points in that event. “It was fun to be right next to each other as teammates and the center of attention before the race,” Bates said. “The whole meet was incredible. We watch our girls lift that trophy year, after year, after year. And it’s always good to get a little hardware ourselves. I mean, we want to be known too.

Berkshire’s 41-37 double overtime win against rival Cardinal came down to the very end. The Badgers used defense, free throw shooting and some clutch shots from Sarah Luoma to steal a victory in a game Cardinal thought they had played well enough to win.

Badgers Outlast Cardinal in Double Overtime saying move on." Joanne Miller said they worked well as a team. "Once we started going it became much better," she said. "I love it to play against these teams with that much intensity." Berkshire's Luoma, a senior who played for three years at Ledgemont before joining Berkshire, sunk five of six 3-pointers. "She's our best outside shooter by far," said Berkshire head coach Dennis Lory. "We all contributed to this win," Luoma said. "It wasn't just one person, it was everybody." Lory said that Drew, also a senior, brings intensity and a desire to win. "It was intense," said Drew. "I knew coming in it wasn't the better team that was going to win, it was the team who brought the most intensity and worked the hardest." Cardinal had their chances. Led by junior Delaney Leichtman, the Huskies were one basket away from the win twice. See Badgers w Page B3

Nichols Continues to Seek for the Right Line-Up for Zeps

BY JAY SCOTT SPORTS@GEAUGAMAPLELEAF.COM Although the Berkshire and Cardinal wrestling squads are struggling to fill weight classes, that doesn’t stop the team from fulfilling their commitment. Last week both the Badgers and Huskies traveled to Hawken for a midseason dual with the Hawks and Beachwood. The action was fierce on the mat. Starting at 106 pounds, Berkshire’s junior John Kumher pinned Cardinal’s Brezo in 19 seconds. “I go in and do what I practice.,” said Kumher afterward. “I have to work hard and do what I dream of.” Kuhmer will see these wrestlers at CVC and the Division III district tournament. I asked him how he stays ahead of the competition. “Every time I wrestle I learn something new,” he said. “I have my parents record my matches and I’ll go home tonight and see where I can get better.” The 138-weight class showed some See Wrestling w Page B2

It took two overtimes and all of Berkshire's strengths to down rival Cardinal last week in a girls varsity basketball game the players won't soon forget. Through the shooting of Sarah Luoma, the toughness and poise of Erin Drew, the defense of Breanna Pennypacker and the free throws of Kylie Scott — not to take anything away from the other Badgers who made impacts, like Kayla White and Madison Chapman — Berkshire won 41-37. "It was amazing," said Chapman, starting in her freshman year. She said after losing to Cardinal once in volleyball, this game was important for the school. "That's all I wanted was to come back and beat them." It was a physical game, especially for Chapman, who plays in the post. "It was hard, but you have to along with it," she said.

WESTSHORE By Joe Ostrica With 49 teams – 25 for boys and 24 for girls – competing at the 61st Comet Relays at Amherst High School last Saturday, there was plenty of talent on display for fans of local high school track and field. Magnificat placed the highest among area schools, finishing fourth overall in girls action. Avon's Lady Eagles tied Brunswick for seventh. Westlake led area boys with an 11th-place finish to tie with Perkins. The Avon girls 4x1,600 relay team of freshman Jules Frombach, sophomore Abby King and juniors Haley Parker and Claire Robertson gave the Lady Eagles their only first-place finish with a time of 22:11.47. Their time not only bested No. 1 seed Thomas Worthington, it set a new school record for Avon, beating the 2015 record of 22:24 set at last year's Avon Relays by more than 12 seconds. Avon sophomore Kamryn Sharer finished third in the 100 hurdles with a time of 15.71. Sharer also took seventh in the 300 hurdles with a time of 48.42, behind Westlake senior Maya Bauer, who took fourth with a time of 47.72. Frombach finished the open 1,600 with a season-best time of 5:21.55 to take sixth. Avon's Erin Laird placed sixth in the open 3,200 with a time of 11:42.50. “I'm incredibly proud of our team and how they competed against the some of the best competition in the state,” Avon girls track and field head coach Sam Ulery said. “We are progressing in the right areas, and are seeing some of the areas we need to focus on in the next couple weeks.” The Magnificat 4x800 relay team – which features Avon Lake resident Annie Ubbing – won with a time of 9:32.58. The effort by senior Lily Kramer, freshman Lindsay Bush, and seniors Bina Frost and Ubbing was an exciting one. “They came just one second off the meet record, pushing the pace by themselves out in front,” Magnificat head coach Kendra Mooney said. Ubbing also helped the Lady Blue Streaks win the 4x400 relay with a time of 4:03.03, beating out runner-up Thomas Worthington by one second. Ubbing was joined by senior Anne Harter, Kramer and senior Kaeley Bush in the event. Bay senior Olivia Bechtel, who recently accepted a scholarship to Miami University, finished second in the long jump with a leap of 17-2 3/4. “Olivia had the highest finish for our team,” Bay girls head coach Claire DeChant said. “The long jump relay of Jillian Dubil and London Phillips landed in fifth place. Olivia was also a part of sixth-place distance medley relay, running the 800 leg of the race. T Amanda Cusimano HURSDAY , JULY 21, was 2016fifth in the 3,200 with her best time of the season and was the final leg of the distance medley relay.

In the post-game analysis of the matchup between Swanton and Cardinal Stritch for the Division III girls soccer sectional championship it was fairly evident, from a ball control stand point, this was an evenly played contest with perhaps a slight edge given to Stritch. But from the perspective of big plays and taking advantage of created opportunities, this game was a mismatch with the Bulldogs making the most of almost every chance they had as they routed the visiting Cardinals, 5-1, at Krupitzer Field to advance to the district semifinal. Despite being seeded sixth, Cardinal Stritch immediately showed why they were the TAAC and NWOHSSL champions and took the game straight at top-seeded Swanton. They were quick to the ball and out maneuvered the Dogs with excellent foot skills and precision passing and dominated the early part of the game. Fortunately for Swanton, the Cardinals could not capitalize with a score. The Bulldogs recovered from the fast-paced Stritch attack and began to put some pressure of their own on the Cardinal defense. With 13:54 See TITLE | 7

The Batavia Bulldogs football team gathered bright and early on July 14, 2016 to participate in a community cleanup event organized by coach Matt Lester. It was the second consecutive year the Bulldogs cleaned up the village of Batavia.

BY GARTH SHANKLIN Sports Editor

In just a few short weeks, the Batavia Bulldogs football team will look to clean up on the gridiron. Before that, however, the team took to the streets of Batavia for a different type of cleaning. The Bulldogs spent the morning of July 14 in the heart of the village of Batavia, sweeping streets, picking up litter and doing their part to keep the community beautiful. Batavia head coach Matt Lester said this was the second year he and the Bulldogs had cleaned up the streets, with the entire team pitching in on the cleanup effort. “This is the second year we’ve done it,” Lester said. “We take three hours and go up and down the village of Batavia, usually up to where the old elementary is,

around the middle school, all around the village. The whole team will divide and conquer.” Lester said the idea came to him because he had done similar things in college. He also noted the importance of the village itself to the community, which was another driving factor in the decision. “I’ve done stuff like this, even back when I was in college,” Lester said. “I’m always trying to look for ways to involve the community in the football program, especially with the village being the heart and soul of Batavia. The more we can give back the better. Hopefully the parents will see that we’re giving back, and the community members will see that and come out to our games and support us a little more.” Lester added that he hoped that the goodwill

generated by the team translates to fans in the seats this upcoming season. Businesses in the area took notice of the team’s outreach last year, which Lester said allowed the team to get involved with the community in ways they hadn’t been able to before. “They were very receptive,” Lester said. “It allowed us to do a few things during the football season. We always have football helmets with the players names on them and we had them in the storefront windows. There were sponsorships and things like that.” The players seem to be buying in to the plan, according to Lester. He noted it can be difficult at times for the younger players to understand why outreach in the community is important, but he hopes they keep the lessons they learn doing the work with them as they get

older. “I think they liked it,” Lester said. “With them being 14 to 17 years old, I don’t think they really understand why they’re doing this stuff a lot. It’s important to give back to where you live and to give back to the community. Hopefully it’s one of those things that when they have kids or when they’re leading something of they’re own they’ll see that they did it as a player and it’s important to continue to do. The Bulldogs begin practice for the 2016 season on Aug. 1. The team will host a Green and White scrimmage, beginning with the middle school team at 6 p.m. on Aug. 6. The high school team will follow at 7 p.m. Batavia opens the regular season with a home match against East Clinton on Aug. 26 at 7 p.m.

Powered by the right leg of Nick Koback and a strong impenetrable defense, the Swanton boys soccer team broke open a close game by scoring four goals in the second half, three by Koback, and went on to defeat Delta, 5-1, in the opening game of the OHSAA Division III sectional soccer tournament last Tuesday at Krupitzer Field. Koback, who also handles the place kicking duties for Swanton’s football team, scored the Dogs’ last three goals and squashed any thoughts the visiting Panthers had of pulling off the upset of the higher seeded Bulldogs. Swanton jumped out to an early lead at the 34:22 mark of the first half when Tanner Callicotte blasted a shot toward the left side of the Delta goal. Panther keeper Logan Albring dove to his right and was able to slow the ball down, but it came off his hands and had enough momentum to trickle over the goal line for a 1-0 Bulldog advantage. Despite the quick score, the game settled into a defensive battle for the rest of the half as both teams went up and down the field, creating opportunities but never being able to put anything on the board as the two goalies took turns See DELTA | 7

made it 9-4 and forced a timeout by the Panthers. However, Delta would get within five only once more throughout the rest of the set as Swanton went onto take it 25-16, ending the match. The Dogs were on the opposite end of the spectrum in game number one as Delta led 23-18. After a timeout by the Dogs, Smith dug one over for a point, Taylor added an ace, a Panther error, Taylor’s ace and Smith’s kill from left knotted the score. A Swanton infraction put Delta ahead 24-23, however, Leidigh drilled a shot from left to re-tie the score. The two squads alternated the next two points, then a Bulldog miscue made it 26-25, Delta. A Jessi Davis two-handed push for the Panthers closed it out to put Delta up 1-0. Swanton’s Cydney Christensen fired a strike down the middle, then back-to-back Panther hitting errors gave the Dogs a comfortable 18-12 lead See CROWN | 7

By BARBARA CHRISTIAN Chagrin Falls Board of Education members are considering whether to ask voters to approve an operating tax levy to maintain day-to-day operations or a tax issue to build or renovate the Intermediate School. During a Feb. 8 work session, board members discussed the merits of a 3.5 mill bond issue for the Chagrin Falls Intermediate School and an operating levy in the range of 6.5 to 7.9 mills. The issue would be put on the Nov. 8 general election ballot. The Intermediate School project could cost as much as $32 million, depending on the plan board members select.

Heinen’s in Chagrin Falls aims for opening this fall By BARBARA CHRISTIAN CHAGRIN FALLS — Plans for Heinen’s new shopping plaza grocery store won preliminary approval from the village Architectural Review Board Tuesday morning. The board did not set a date for the final review. But store owner Jeffrey Heinen said if everything stays on schedule, renovations should begin in May with a grand opening in the fall. Heinen’s finalized a lease with the plaza owner earlier this year for the 26,000-square-foot space that had housed a Giant Eagle grocery store before it closed in the summer of 2014.

major problems with the Heinen’s plan presented by architect John Williams of Process Creative Studios. One major addition to the renovation of the plaza store is a shaded outdoor eating area at the south end of the building that faces the parking lot in downtown Chagrin Falls plaza. It is connected to an indoor dining area and could be opened up or closed off depending on the weather, according to the plans. Mr. Williams explained an overhead style garage door will separate the two areas allowing it to be open whenever the weather is nice no matter the season. Alcoholic Turn to Store on Page 12

tart the buses. No, not just because the high school football season kicks off on Friday, but because the new conference alignments among many Northeast Ohio schools will have those yellow engines burning fuel on different routes this fall. With the breakup of the Northeast Ohio Conference, Solon gridders are now taking part in the re-emergence of the Greater Cleveland Conference, along with Brunswick, Euclid, Mentor, Strongsville, Elyria, Shaker Heights and Medina. Based on enrollment figures for boys in grades nine, 10 and 11 with athletic participation opportunities as of Oct. 31, 2014, Solon is the smallest among the eight schools with 642 male students, Euclid is the second smallest with 719, while Mentor is the largest with 960 male students. All are among the 72 Division I programs in Ohio with 581 or more male students. While Solon will still play border-town rival Twinsburg during the nonconference season, the Comets will no longer size up against Hudson or Mayfield. In joining the GCC, Solon has added Euclid, 24 miles away, Elyria, 42 miles away, and Medina, 35 miles away, to its schedule. Kenston, meanwhile, got the boot from the Chagrin Valley Conference, as did Aurora – the two biggest schools from last year’s makeup. Not only did Kenston join the re-established Western Reserve Conference – mostly made up of Lake County schools like Madison, Eastlake North, Riverside and Willoughby South but also including Brush, Chardon and Mayfield – but the Bombers got bumped up to Division II,

Anderson’s Metal Sculpture, based out of Cedar Springs, Mich., was one of 100 participating artists at the Valley Art Center’s 33rd annual Art by the Falls. Nonfigurative painter, Annette Poitau took home Best of Show.

Record sales and sunshine make Art by Falls a rousing success By BARBARA CHRISTIAN Wind and rain had been predicted all week, but by Saturday the threat had passed and a collective sigh of relief went up for 100 artists participating in the Valley Art Center’s 33rd annual Art by the Falls where Oberlin painter Annette Poitau received the Best of Show award. VAC Executive Director Mary Ann Breisch declared the show a smashing success based on feedback from artists and attendees. One artist who is veteran of what she termed “the good, the bad and the ugly” of outdoor art shows through the years agreed that clear skies

was key to the show’s success. “You get high winds and tents become kites,” she said of other fests, relating stories of muddy festival grounds and collapsed tents to regale her shuttle van companions during a Saturday morning run to Riverside Park where this year’s event took place. But last weekend’s two-day festival had none of that. It was wall-to-wall sunshine at the fine art and contemporary craft fair featuring painting, drawing, photography, fiber arts, ceramics, sculpture and mediums difficult to put into genres.

When she worked at Higbee’s department store in Cleveland in the 1960s, Carmen Kulgoske was forbidden from wearing pants. Even her high-waisted orange cotton pants, worn with a short sleeved orange striped knit top and orange belt with a big silver buckle, all by designer Anne Klein, were out of the question. She could wear her camel-colored ultrasuede dress with a large collar, so long as she wore a sweater underneath, and heels, as flats and sneakers were also a no-no. She purchased the Halston dress because the new material, which was invented in Japan in 1970 and debuted in Paris the same year, was soft and most importantly, washable. Mrs. Kulgoske and her co-chairwoman on the Geauga Historical Society’s Textile and Costume Committee, Ann Thomas, remember how fashion has changed through their lifetimes, and how the meaning of words like “risque” and “work-appropriate” have changed. Mrs. Thomas recalls when she was nearly sent home as a young nurse when she wore pants to work. Now, they’re using their personal knowledge and a great amount of research to present the society’s Vintage Summer Fashions Exhibit, displaying clothes from the 1880s to the 1970s, including three of Mrs. Kulgoske’s outfits. “(Today’s) designers go back and look at these older designs and reproduce them. You can see the trends and see how they have picked out certain designs that work and come up with today’s fashion,” Mrs. Kulgoske said. Held in the Law Building on the grounds of the society’s Century Village in Burton, the exhibit, which was also produced by committee members Pat Hauser and Marilyn Prickett, features formal and sportswear for men and women, and even “Wikie” swim trunks, circa 1930s, worn by G.B. Fox who was the president of the bank in Burton. The group displayed a canary yellow flapper dress worn by his daughter in their last fashion exhibit, “A Night on the Town.” Mr. Fox’s wife, Lottie convinced her friend Frances Payne Bingham Bolton, the first woman elected to Congress from Ohio, to donate money to purchase the Hickox Brick building and 5 acres, effectively starting the Geauga Historical Society and Turn to Fashion on Page 3

Belcourt, N.D.

Each year, NDCL Office of Campus Ministry provides opportunitie s for students to experience their faith in service to others. The experiences are what NDCL calls “mission in action.” From June 4-11, 20 students and four teachers traveled to Saint Ann's Mission in Belcourt, N.D., in the heart of the Tur tle Mount ain Native Amer ican Reservatio n to work with the Chippewa and Metis people. The NDCL teens led and interacted with middle school students in their role as camp counselors . They also found time to assist the community in relocating the contents of a 1920s school building to a newer facility built in 1999.

When James Williams accepted a position as Caldwell High School’s new foreign language teacher in June of last year, he hoped to bring drama courses back to the school as well as foreign language. As it turns out, there were plenty of students hoping that would occur as well, as in its ﬁrst year back at Caldwell in more than four years, Williams’ drama course has attracted a slew of prospective actors. And, for the ﬁrst time

Rucker Redeems Himself with District Title

SHS Art Students Give Back to the Community

Hundreds gather at Shell Cove Park candlelight memorial for Sidney Heidrick

Students in the Shenandoah High School art classes pitched in together recently to hand paint the nationally-known American Legion emblem on a large sign which will hang on the outside wall at the Belle Valley American Legion building. The paint for the project was donated by Boyd Precision Painting, LLC. For years, Post 641 of the Belle Valley American Legion has given to the Noble Local and Caldwell school districts. The kids wanted to do something in return, and to serve their community at the same time. “The kids did a really good job,” said Dave Serdy, a Son of the Belle Valley American Legion. “They were eager to do the job. The American Legion gives a special thanks to them and to their teacher, Bonnie Flynn.”

Three Caldwell Wrestlers Qualify for State

SHEFFIELD LAKE

Caldwell senior Chance Rucker had a look of disgust on his face as he stood on the podium February 20 at Sandy Valley High School. Rucker had entered the Division III sectional tournament at the No. 1 seed, but lost a 6-4 decision to No. 2 seed Francesco Borsellino of Sandy Valley. While his goal of reaching the district tournament was accomplished, Rucker was angry and ready for redemption. Rucker got his chance during Day 2 of the Division III district at Heath High School and when he stood on the podium Saturday, he wore a smile. Caldwell coaches knew Rucker would likely get another crack at Borsellino during the district tournament – as long as he took care of business. That’s exactly what Rucker did at the two-day tournament. He opened against West Muskingum’s Brendan Partin and pinned him quickly in 35 seconds. Up next was Andrew Be-

Hundreds of residents from Sheffield Lake and several other communities helped search for Sidney Heidrick July 24-25, responding spontaneously to the July 24 news that a 4-year-old boy was missing. They came together again July 28 at Shell Cove Park to show support for the boy’s grieving family. People who’d walked streets and wooded lots all night with flashlights, calling out Sidney’s name and looking into places where a youngster who loved to play hide and seek might hide; people who’d searched the Lake Erie shoreline on personal watercrafts and in boats; people who joined an impressive response by safety and emergency personnel from dozens of towns and three counties − suddenly felt a shared sense of grief when Sidney’s body was recovered from the water about a quarter of a mile east of his grandparents’ lakeshore home next to Shell Cove Park. Many children were involved in setting up the memorial, as were a number of adults; but no one knew who was ultimately responsible. Girl Scouts and martial arts students made hundreds of luminaries that lined the park’s walkways and Lake Road’s bike lane. The Rev. John Hughes of Lighthouse Baptist Church in Lorain offered prayers, several people spoke of their sense of loss and sense of community. City law Director David Graves led the crowd in singing “Amazing Grace,” and several children, including Sidney’s sister Summer, sang his favorite song, “Chicka Chicka Boom Boom.” They tied balloons to trees and jungle gyms, lit candles, blew soap bubbles into the breeze and shared their sense of community and one another’s grief for the little boy whose all-too-brief life and tragic end had brought them together.

van of Madison Plains. Bevan was a sectional champion at CardingtonLincoln, but he proved to be no match for Rucker, who squashed him with a pin in 1:22. In the semifinal, Rucker met Dom Wallace of Martins Ferry. Wallace finally provided a challenge for Rucker, but ultimately fell in a 4-1 decision. As Rucker kept winning, so did Borsellino. Sandy Valley’s unbeaten junior won his first match in 31 seconds, he second in 38 seconds and rolled into the finals with a pin over a pin over Zane Trace’s Tanner Kunz. So the rematch was set, and Rucker got the match he wanted. In a complete reversal of the week before, Rucker quickly gained the advantage and pinned the formerly unbeaten Borsellino in 1:30 to claim the district title. With the win, Rucker became the third Caldwell senior to qualify for state on the day, joining Kolby Rayner and Clay Poling.

Caldwell’s Jack Ridenour dribbles into a Rosecrans defender as open space was hard to come by for the Redskins in the Division IV sectional final at Union Local. By Kreg Robinson Journal Sports Editor What can you do? Caldwell asked itself that question Saturday as it met Rosecrans in the Division IV sectional final at Union Local High School. The Redskins were down 19 points entering the final quarter and the Bishops were happy to dribble and pass away the final eight minutes.

Traps weren’t working. Rosecrans wasn’t turning the ball over and it certainly wasn’t going to shoot. So what can you do? The answer ended up being fouling and unfortunately, the Bishop made more than enough foul shots to end Caldwell’s season in a 67-47 loss. While the ﬁnal quarter and a half were frustrating for Caldwell Coach Clint Crane and his team, the

Caldwell’s slashing offense worked early, with Tanner Clark scoring seven quick points in the first quarter and Caldwell leading 12-9 after the first quarter.

But come the second quarter, everything went quiet. Caldwell only scored seven points in the second quarter and was limited to two points in the third. Meanwhile, Rosecrans nearly made everything it

The theme for this year’s Relay for Life in Noble County is “Be a Super Hero, Knock out Cancer!” And the 2016 team leads for Noble County are excited about how the community is digging in and getting involved in this year’s Relay for Life event. The Relay committee, made up of many valuable volunteers, is led this year by Team Lead Pat Darvas, Community Manager and American Cancer Society Staff Partner Tracy Barnhouse and Youth Champion Karrie Walters. Relay is scheduled to take place on Saturday, June 4 at the Noble County Fairgrounds, and there is a full slate of fun waiting for everyone who attends. The day kicks off for cancer survivors at 11 a.m. with the Survivor’s Brunch, happening in place of the Survivor Dinner of years past. Call Barnhouse at 740-5090196 to register for the brunch. Following the brunch are opening ceremonies at noon, and then the traditional survivor’s lap around the track, which kicks off the walking for everyone. “We’re really excited about having a huge year with Noble County Relay,” Barnhouse said. “We have a lot of new involvement. We went over our goal last year and are looking to do the same this year.” This year’s goal is $28,000. There are 16 teams already registered to participate in the event, with more expected. “We’re seeing a lot of return teams this year,” Walters said. “A lot of former teams are returning.” Walters attributes some of this to the participation of special speaker Jason Rich, who will address the assembly at the event. “He’s brought such excitement to Relay this year. When he agreed to speak, he also created a new team, Angie’s Army, AKA Angie’s Rack Pack, in honor of his wife who is fighting breast cancer.” Rich will be the featured speaker during the Luminaria Ceremony, which will take place at 9:30 p.m. This very emotional and uplifting part of the day is organized by Luminaria Leads Sharon Craft and Susan Haas. Dozens or even hundreds of luminaria will be set along the inside circumference of the walking track, guiding the walkers in honor of those who have lost their battle with cancer and inspiring those still fighting, or remembering lost loved ones, to continue the battle. The public is invited to keep the flame of hope lit by ordering a luminaria in memory of someone lost to cancer or in honor of someone still fighting, or who has overcome the disease. To do so, find the order form at www. relayforlife.org/noblecounty, or call Craft at 740-5811086 or Haas at 740-581-1244. Each luminaria is only $10. Another much-anticipated part of Relay this year is Noble County Talent Show 2016. Relay for Life asks: Are you ready to show the county your talent and take home the prize? If so, sign up now for the 2016 Noble County Talent Show, benefiting Noble County Relay for Life. The show will take place at 2 p.m. on June 4 at the Noble County Fairgrounds. All ages are welcome to participate. There are five categories: Music for those 16 and under, Music for those 17 and over, Dance for single/duo, Dance for groups and Miscellaneous. Admission is by donation. Proceeds will be donated to the American Cancer Society Noble County Relay for Life. The entry fee for each act is $10, and the deadline for entry is May 27. The show is limited to the first 30 acts to register. To register, send the name of your act, and a contact person and phone to Tracy Barnhouse, 22416 Roy Croy Rd., Senecaville, OH 43780. Make checks for entry fee payable to Noble County Steering Committee. Follow Relay for updates on Facebook at Relay for Life of Noble County Ohio. Call 740-509-0196 or 740-5093283 for more information. Other fun things happening that day include a superhero costume contest; an inflatable obstacle course run by Noble County 4-H kids; a dunk tank featuring local celebrities; music by D.J. Bob Daymut; the 4 p.m. purse auction (this is a new time) with auctioneer Ken Turchik (donations are being accepted now.

In Memory of

By JOE SHOUSE Progress Staff Writer PAULDING – Come election day on Nov. 3, Paulding County voters will have the opportunity to make a statement and lay claim to the importance of valuable resourced in the county – young people and agriculture. A vote for Issue 12 on election day supports a five-year levy in the amount of .25 mills or 73 cents per month ($8.75 per year) based on $100,000 home value. The levy would generate approximately $112,000 per year and would allow the continued support of the programs overseen by Extension educators Sarah Noggle and Michael Schweinsberg. At stake are the many programs made available through the Ohio State University Extension office here in Paulding County that benefit and develop high-caliber youth. Not only will many of the youth-related programs be eliminated or greatly reduced, but all programs related to agriculture and natural resources would be eliminated, according to Noggle, Extension educator in the areas of agriculture and natural resources. “Many of the programs and learning experiences would come to an end without the passage of the levy. We will no longer be able to continue the agriculture and natural resources programs that many have grown accustomed to over the years,” said Noggle. Ohio law and the fact that farming is becoming more specialized, the requirements today were not in the picture years ago. The requirements for various certifications and recertification concerning pesticide and fertilizer application and

Election 2015

Replacement levy would guarantee senior services By JOE SHOUSE Progress Staff Writer PAULDING – The Paulding County Senior Center will look to the voters come election day as a 0.5-mill, five-year replacement levy will be decided. If passed, the levy will cost the owner of a home valued at $100,000 approximately $17.50 each year. Director of the center, Marsha Yeutter, points out that the yearly budget for the senior center is $425,871 and the current levy generates nearly $157,000 of the budget’s total amount. “With the replacement levy we will be able to make up 37 percent of the budget or $228,464 annually. So obviously it vital for us to see this replacement pass on Nov. 3,”

Thanks to you ... We’d like to thank Gary Leatherman of Douglasville, Ga., for subscribing to the Progress!

Yeutter said. The funds generated will be used as operational money for the center as well as updating the building and making necessary repairs. “Upgrades are needed. We have a heating and cooling system that is need of general repairs and upkeep along with large equipment such as refrigerators needing replaced,” commented Yeutter. In years past, there were Community Development Block Grants that could be counted on, but it’s not as easy as it once was to secure such grants. Therefore, having this replacement levy pass is to important to the ongoing programs that benefit the senior adults of Paulding County. The center receives no fund-

ing from the county’s general fund nor from various grants like it once did and in the near future the staff is expecting a reduction in monies from the Area Office on Aging (AOOA). In the past, the Area Office provided some funding for the use of transportation and meal service at the center. “As a part of our transportation is concerned we also have five vehicles that have more than 100,000 miles on them and a couple with over 150,000 and so we are looking at an aging fleet of vehicles that may need to be replaced sooner than later,” commented Yeutter. With the many cuts being made in transportation funding and meal money, the center will possibly need to be more creative with providing their ser-

vices. “We had a $13,000 decrease in our transportation funds in 2015, but Commissioner Mark Holtsberry convinced the AOOA that although the county population is low, there is a high number of seniors living in their homes. Thankfully we were able to recoup the $13,000, thanks to Mark, but there is no guarantee we will get it next year,” Yeutter said. Not only is there a need to keep the transportation dollars, but money for providing meals is also a vital part of the center’s outreach. The AOOA allocated $48,830.46 in federal funds for transportation and $78,697.33 to provide meals to the center. “We have depleted the federal dollars and have not had

WILKESVILLE — The Wilkesville area may get an EMS squad in the coming years, county officials said in a meeting Monday. The Vinton County Commissioners say they hope to turn their attention to increasing public safety in rural areas like Wilkesville once the ongoing Richland Fire Station is completed. “This project has been on my mind since I’ve been in here,” said Commissioner Mike Bledsoe. “I just think it’s something we ought to do.” Currently, it takes at least 30 minutes for emergency vehicles to drive from the EMS building in McArthur down to the rural stretches of Vinton County like Wilkesville and Radcliff. These areas often gets emergency response help from other agencies like Gallia County, but the commissioners want a more permanent, local solution. The issue, predictably, is money. Commissioners say there is no money to pay for a Wilkesville squad to be on duty 24/7 like in McArthur. Instead, the goal could be to have volunteer firefighters in the area sign up for EMS training. The county would then pay for any response calls on an as-needed basis. Commissioner Jerry Zinn said he would reach out to Wilkesville Fire Chief John Wood to see if SEE EMS ON PAGE A2

Black Lives Matter marks a year —

Message of justice carries on By Dylan Taylor-Lehman

On Aug. 5, 2015, over 200 people gathered in the parking lot of the Beavercreek Walmart to commemorate the life and mourn the death of John Crawford III, who was gunned down inside the store after a shopper called 911 and reported Crawford had a gun. The gun turned out to be a BB gun Crawford picked up from a shelf in the store, and the of�cers, who shot Crawford within seconds of their arrival, were ultimately acquitted of any wrongdoing. The commemoration was held a year to the day after Crawford’s untimely death and featured speeches, singing and a march with a hoisted cof�n leading the procession. “We intend to convey to the world that we will remain vigilant in our demand for justice for John Crawford III and those around the country who have also lost their lives,” said the press release accompanying the event. “We will not allow John Crawford to have been killed in vain.”

for being in arrears with both federal tax and state teachers retirement system payments. According to Lowry this week, Westmoreland was understaffed in payroll and attempting to address the problem under strict budget constraints, ended up with late payments to the IRS and STRS in October 2014 that were caught up by January 2015. Lowry resigned because she had intended to take a job with a school system closer to home — a situation which for independent reasons did not work out, she said.

in 2008 resubmitted a grant proposal, which was funded in 2009. But the situation became more complex with the closing of the college in 2008 — of�cially, the Glen was owned by Antioch University. At a series of meetings of Glen stakeholders, convened by Magaw, it was determined that the best path to conserving the Glen was purchasing the land from the university, placing a conservation easement on it and gifting it to a newly created nonpro�t to operate. The nonpro�t Trust for Public Land was brought in to assist, according to a TLT document. The situation changed again with the successful purchase of the college and Glen by an alumni group. The college board held onto the Glen, but also wished to place a conservation easement on the

Lowry initiates swift changes

Westmoreland County Public Schools in Virginia, where Lowry served as superintendent before retiring on Aug. 1. But the center’s leadership and �nancial issues are complex and have weighed on the school for at least three years. Since the Children’s Center Board of Trustees announced last fall that enrollment hit an all-time low and the school had just enough assets to last until the spring, the center has been held together by the grace of community donations and a constantly shifting team of board and administrative leaders. Board President Amber Botkin is helping to apprise Lowry of the situation and is con�dent that the school, which lost its Step Up to Quality one-star rating this year, can regain its standing with Ohio’s voluntary early childhood school rating program. “We understand that the Step Up to Quality rating is a re�ection of our programming, and the board has made it a priority,” Botkin said last week. “We’re con�dent that with the [Step Up to Quality] application in the fall we will see an improvement.”

In the Council race, Abraham, in an email this week, identified maintaining village diversity as a priority. While he sees a “multi-faceted approach” as necessary, the issue of affordability is central, he said. Working as the Americorps Vista staff member at Home, Inc. has provided him the opportunity to learn about housing issues, Abraham wrote, and “I think a renewed, emboldened commitment to af fordable housing — both rental and home ownership — would go a long way in providing opportunities in the village.” A vital local economy and attention to wage and job opportunities also �gure into the challenge to maintain diversity, he wrote. Creepingbear is assistant director of admissions and multicultural recruitment and enrollment counselor at Antioch College. In an email this week he said he’s running to represent a group often not involved in local government, which is young people and families. “From that vantage point, I’m interested in addressng the budget, speci�cally as it relates to the ACE Task Force, housing for seniors and lower income residents, and progressive economic building, i.e. work co-ops and living wages.” Maintaining diversity is also a priority for Cruz, a 40-year village resident who ran for Council two years ago.

After a nine-year effort, Glen Helen is now ofﬁcially preserved as forever a green space. A collaboration of federal, state and local agencies assisted in the process of raising funds to purchase conservation easements for the Glen. Shown above are leaders Krista Magaw, executive director of Tecumseh Land Trust, and Glen Director Nick Boutis. member Dave Neuhardt in 2004, after looking over the historic papers. And indeed the Glen has faced signi�cant threats since it was established, including a state plan in the 1950s to locate a highway through the preserve, which Village and Glen of�cials managed to beat back. “That would have destroyed not only the Glen but the fabric of Yellow Springs,” Boutis said. After Neuhardt’s assessment in 2004 that the Glen was vulnerable, TLT Director Magaw made it her mission to protect the nature preserve, according to TLT member Bob Barcus. Magaw’s �rst attempt to preserve the Glen was a 2006 grant request to the Ohio EPA, which just missed being funded. But soon after Boutis, having arrived as the Glen’s new director, also took a major interest in the project. Together, the two

By Diane Chiddister A week after the �ling deadline for candidates, this fall’s races for Village Council and Miami Township Trustee look robust, while the school board contest is decidedly calmer, with no challengers for two incumbents. Election Day is Tuesday, Nov. 3. Seven candidates turned in their petitions by the Aug. 5 deadline for three open Village Council seats, those currently held by Lori Askeland, Marianne MacQueen and Gerry Simms. MacQueen and Simms are running again, while Askeland, after eight years on Council, is not a candidate. Joining the incumbents are challengers Adam Abraham, Shane Creepingbear, Chrissy Cruz, Talis X (Talis Gage) and former Council President Judith Hemp�ing. In the race for Township Trustees, for which two seats are open, incumbents Chris Mucher and Lamar Spracklen have been joined by challengers Steve McQueen, Don Hollister, Dale Amstutz and Zo Van Eaton. Current Township Fiscal Of�cer Margaret Silliman is running unchallenged. Two seats are open on the Yellow Springs Board of Education, and incumbents Sean Creighton and Sylvia Ellison, who are both candidates, face no challengers. Longtime mayor David Foubert is running for his 13th term, with no opposition. All of the candidates are considered unof�cial until approved by the Board of Elections on Aug. 17.

By Diane Chiddister A nine-year ef for t to protect Glen Helen �nally came to a successful conclusion last week, with the Glen now preserved as a wild place into perpetuity. “There is no greater treasure here than Glen Helen,” Tecumseh Land Trust Executive Director Krista Magaw said in a press release. “It is the ecological and spiritual anchor for our Miami Valley. It’s an honor to do our part to protect it, for today and for our future generations.” The outcome is especially satisfyng because it was a collaborative effort between a variety of federal, state, regional and local entities that joined together to preserve the Glen, according to Magaw. “Thanks to everyone for sticking with the process,” she said. “This is a great outcome and something to celebrate.” A celebration will take place in October, at the Hugh Taylor Birch house in the Glen, on Oct. 25, at a time to be announced. Altogether, the effort to preserve all 973 acres of the Glen, which took place in several stages, cost a little over $3 million, according to Glen Helen Director Nick Boutis this week. The funding included $940,650 from the the Clean Ohio Fund; $567,500 from the federal Farm and Ranch Lands Protection Program; $100,000 from the Village of Yellow Springs; $1.2 million from the Ohio EPA’s Water Restoration Resource Sponsorship Program and $200,000 from the Upper River Fund of the Dayton Foundation. The commitment of Antioch College to the preservation effort was also critical to its success, according to Boutis this week. “The college didn’t have to make preser ving the Glen a priority in its reinvention, but it did,” Boutis said, also thanking the Morgan Family Foundation and Antioch University for their contributions. “Ultimately, this moved for ward because ever yone loves the Glen,” Boutis said. Glen Helen was established in 1929 when college alum Hugh Taylor Birch donated the land to the college in memory of his daughter, Helen Birch Bartlett. At the time College President Arthur Morgan and Birch were concerned about conserving the Glen as green space, according to Boutis, and the deed from Birch included the restriction that the nature preserve be protected. But the restrictions had no “teeth” according to attorney and TLT board

The Pulse,

By Marisa Pesa Managing Editor mpesa@capital.edu

Despite what was rumored last Saturday night on Yik Yak, the anonymous social app infamous for vulgarity and bullying, sophomore Lindsey Eveland did not die. The night was just like any other night for Eveland, an evening spent at Ohio Thrift with her boyfriend. But while driving back to Bexley, she was bombarded with texts from friends asking if everything was alright. Following a friend’s request to check Yik Yak, she was surprised to find that a female student was rumored to have died. The only names mentioned were “Eveland” and the initials “LE”. Eveland said her boyfriend called public safety around 11:30 p.m. and asked if anyone died on campus. Ten minutes later, Eveland said she received a phone call from her roommate who said that a public safety officer was at their dorm room wanting to speak with Eveland. An officer then went to the boyfriend’s College Avenue home to confirm Eveland’s identity. “He said ‘you’re certainly not dead’ … and I’m certainty not,” Eveland said. Public safety’s police chief, Frank Fernandez, initially said no investigation into Saturday’s incident occurred. But after checking the call log, he confirmed that his department did receive a call from a concerned individual. “It is unfortunate that we have to use our resources on this type of social media rumor, but due to the nature of the complaint, we ended up checking for the wellbeing of the alleged victim,” Fernandez said. No incident report was filed. Most yaks mentioning Eveland have since disappeared. Yaks are typically removed if a user reports a post that violates Yik Yak’s rules or if a yak receives five down votes. “I’m not aware of anyone from Capital removing content from Yik Yak,” said Nichole Johnson, Capital’s executive director of marketing communications. Eveland said she has no idea who started the rumor but believes that she may have angered someone. “Friday morning, people were

Sophmore Lindsey Eveland was surprised to find rumors about her “death” on the social application Yik Yak this past Saturday evening. commenting my name on random posts … they were insinuating that I was on the ‘walk of shame’ as I was coming home from my boyfriend’s house,” Eveland said. Instructor of criminology and sociology at Capital University, Laura Brennankane said she does not fully understand the motivation behind this “deviant behavior.” Both Eveland and Brennankane believe the hoaxer may have been motivated by boredom. But how exactly did one Yak hold the power to become “the death” of a student? On Yik Yak’s website, the app defines itself as “home to the casual, relatable, heartfelt, and silly things that connect people with their community.” Incidents such as last Saturday’s, however, lead Brennankane into thinking Yik Yak encourages a herd-mentality, or groupthink. She said that when people get into groups, social loafing, or the phenomenon of people exerting less effort to achieve a goal, can occur. Brennankane also referenced a popular social psychology study, the Asch Experiment, which was designed to test

how peer pressure influences a person’s judgment. The experiment showed that one voice can make a difference amongst many. “What is it that you all want?” Brennankane said. “Do you want a social media where anyone is free to say anything, consequences be damned … or do you want to have something that is more student policed?” Last spring, the Office of Diversity and Inclusion attempted to answer Brennankane’s question by hosting an event called “Take Back The Yak.” Prior to this event, last February an African American student from Capital reached out to NBC4, claiming he endured racist comments via Yik Yak almost on a daily basis. Since the weekend, some people have made good-humored jokes about Eveland being the campus “dead girl.” But she is taking the rumor in stride. Eveland said she feels no ill will about what happened but would like to have a conversation with whoever started the rumor to understand his or her motivation. “Nothing bothered me about the yaks besides the fact of why would somebody post that,” Eveland said. “… You have to

look back at it and say, ‘Well, oh it was funny.’ You can’t be hurt by it.”

Approximately 35 students came to ‘Take Back The Yak” to discuss ways to help prevent harmful yaks. The results from the meeting were as follows: t When a comment that is harmful/ offensive in nature is posted, a core group of students should flood that post with positivity. t Capital should host a “silence campaign” that showcases screenshots of some of the harmful/offense language used on the app with the goal of having campus discussion about the comments. t Petition (with signatures) the administration to block the app. t Employ a down voting “tree”. If something very harmful/offensive in nature is posted, several students who are apart of this tree will automatically down vote the comment off.

It then moves to Euclid for three performances. “I always thought it would be great to have my story made into a play,” said Dr. Auerbacher who now lives in Queens, N.Y. “I’ve been dreaming about it a long time. It’s absolutely wonderful. I feel so honored and blessed.” Ms. Miloro-Hansen, a 2010 graduate of Hiram College, has been active Auerbacher in theater since 1999 and in 2013, directed “I Never Saw Another Butterfly,” a play based on the real-life story of Raja Englanderova, another Terezin survivor. Chris Cipriani, who was the executive director of the Geauga Lyric Theater Guild at the time, connected with Dr. Auerbacher online. That summer, Ms. Cipriani and her family went to Queens to meet Dr. Auerbacher. “She talked about how she would love to have her story turned into a play and we talked about the messages that were important,” Ms. Cipriani said. “Inge’s interest is reaching youth and Angela has worked a lot with teen drama. I mentioned Angela and Inge was in touch with her and it began.” After speaking with Dr. Auerbacher, Ms. Miloro-Hansen began her research by reading Dr. Auerbacher’s six books, including her 1993 autobiography “I Am a Star: Child of the Holocaust” and her 2003 autobiography “Beyond the Yellow Star to America.” Ms. Miloro-Hansen memorized each page of the books and got to know Inge through her poetry, phone conversations and the many YouTube videos featuring Dr. Auerbacher. “(The play) started as just during the war, but I knew something was missing and then decided to add in her post-war survival,” Ms. Miloro-Hansen said. “What I think is unique about the way we’ve done her story that others haven’t is that it talks about how to survive and how to rebuild your life after such a horrible event and how to start over in a new country as a child andCenter, overcome.” Over the next two Valley Art years, Ms. Miloro-Hansen went through 10 155 Bell St., Chagrin Falls: completely different drafts.

Thousands of Jews were deported from Terezin to extermination camps as described in the new play “The Star on My Heart,” the story of Inge Auerbacher.

etween Nov. 24, 1941 and May 9, 1945, the garrison city of Terezin, located in what is now the Czech Republic, served as a ghetto camp and transit point for 140,000 Jews, including 15,000 children. During this period, an estimated 90,000 people were sent to almost certain death from Terezin to 4-year-old Inge the worst Eastern concentration camps including Auschwitz Auerbacher and Treblinka. Roughly 33,000 people died in Terezin and only about 100 children survived. One of those young survivors was Inge Auerbacher who was in Terezin from age 7 to 10. Like so many other Holocaust survivors, Dr. Auerbacher, now 80, has used her experience to teach the world about acceptance, respect and love. She changed her narrative from one of tragedy to one of perseverance and triumph. Now, Geauga playwright Angela Miloro-Hansen has turned that narrative into a play, “The Star on My Heart” which is having its world Turn to Play on Page 3

Ms. Miloro-Hansen hopes that the show, which has raised around $15,000 through an Ohio Arts Council Grant, a highly successful Kickstarter campaign and various private donations, will be published to be used as a teaching tool for students and has been working with a teacher to create lesson plans to accompany the show. “When I was a kid I wanted to learn more about the Holocaust and what was happening in the world and what is still relevant today. When I had teachers willing to push me in that direction,” she said, she really appreciated it. “I want to do the same. I see these kids asking questions you wouldn’t expect from kids and they take it really seriously.” Starting next week, the cast will be doing outreach presentations at local schools including St. Mary School in Chardon, Chardon Middle School and West Geauga, which includes a condensed version of the show. Dr. Auerbacher herself will be in attendance at the presentations at the local schools. “Many people don’t know the whole story. To them it’s just a word, Holocaust. They don’t know what happened.

Supporters celebrate historical museum restoration By BARBARA CHRISTIAN CHAGRIN FALLS — There was fringe, feathers and sequins as far as the eye could see last Saturday as everyone in town, or so it seemed, turned out to relive the Roaring Twenties and celebrate the completed restoration of the Chagrin Falls Historical Society’s new home at 87 E. Washington St.

The grand opening party was dubbed “An Evening at the ’87 Club,” to reﬂect the address of what began as the home of early village industrialist George Ober. The house had many lives after his residency including spending quite some time as a funeral home. Some members insist it is haunted by kindly ghosts. If so, they were not evident Saturday

night, no doubt taking cover from the joyous and raucous crowd determined to live up to the theme of the party as people roared and romped their way through the evening.

“Love this simply designed but powerful page that includes a main map/infographic of ‘haunted’ sites in the area. The arts calendar that runs in the left rail is easy to read and elegant. Font selection in general is simple but very well implemented, including in the main headline which has a nice dominance but is straight forward and easy to read. The illustrations of the haunted sites are detailed and lovely - wish more newspapers were still effectively using illustration and infographics this well. Visually, a very strong and well-designed page.” Credits: Travis Rock, Maureen Bole, Amanda Petkiewicz

“This is a great example of how to handle a photo and story layout. There’s a nice simplicity to this layout, but it’s very effective and delivers the content with ease. Nice dominant photo, strong headline with supporting deck and good selection of smaller, more informational photos to support the story. Love that the type with the story is broken up and not a huge block. Good captions, too. Only wish is that there were some more prominent faces in the photos. Good use of a drop cap too to offset the story. One other thought - I would probably run a hairline between the ‘Art Palette’ list and the main feature, just to separate them a bit and make the white space feel less ‘trapped.’ The overall design of the publication sets the stage for this good work, but the designer definitely knows how to make it all come together.” Credits: Amanda Petkiewicz

One can tell there’s an understanding here of type and content hierarchies and an appreciation for limited font choices. Very elegant and satisfying page for the audience.” Credits: Maureen Bole

Hershey Montessori expands hands-on learning with new store

n Monday morning, seventh-graders Leah Frase, Anna DiCello and Anika Muliolis aren’t sitting in homeroom. They’re not in science or history or language arts class. They’re in a barn, raking hay into a wheel barrel while singing “Oh what a beautiful morning.” There’s no adult or teacher near by, making sure they’re doing work, but they finish the job anyways and then they move on to setting up lines to tap maple trees. It’s not a typical Monday morning for most seventh-graders, but then Anna, Leah and Anika don’t go to a typical school. The three girls attend Hershey Montessori School Laurie Ewert-Krocker in Huntsburg, which is the director of the last year opened its upper school. Upper School, making it the first in the world to provide a fully immersive curriculum following Maria Montessoi’s vision of education from infancy through high school. Hershey began as a co-educational primary school in 1978 growing over the years and adding it Huntsburg farm campus in 2000 for adolescents. Today, the farm campus has 68 students, 13 of whom are 10th graders representing its first upper level class.

Hershey Montessori students make handmade candles that will be sold at the school’s new market on Chardon Square that opened last Friday. The market will offer products and produce grown at the school’s Huntsburg campus and farm, as well as products from local vendors and crafters. This kind of educational system was developed by Dr. Montessori, an Italian physician and educator in the early 1900s and is characterized by mixed-age classrooms, student choice of activity, uninterrupted blocks of work time, learning with materials rather than by direct instruction and

Geauga County Probate and Juvenile Court Judge Timothy Grendell is calling for a status hearing at 4 p.m. Tuesday at the probate court in regards to the Russell Park Board. He has issued subpoenas to former park commissioners Roy Podojil and Sandy Siegler, current park commissioners Linda O’Brien and Charlie Butters, landowner Mary Modroo and Western Reserve Land Conservancy Director Richard Cochran to appear in his court. The Modroo farm has been the subject of discussion between park commissioners and Russell residents who want levy funds to be used to purchase the farm for a future park. The estimated cost of the 52 acres is $1.5 million. Those subpoenaed have been instructed to bring copies of contracts of sale purchase agreements and written appraisals of the Modroo property from Jan. 1, 2013 to the present. Judge Grendell, responsible for making appointments to the Russell Park District, recently named Ms. O’Brien and Mr. Butters to the commission. They replaced Terry Ries and Mr. Siegler, who recently resigned. The third longtime member Mr. Podojil

By TONY LANGE There must have been 8,000 to 9,000 people between their funerals last year, but those in attendance weren’t drawn in by flag-draped coffins or 21-gun salutes. Alex Doody and Josh Weil didn’t die heroes, but the 18-year-olds nearing graduation last spring from Hawken School certainly had an impact on those surrounding them. One of the reasons they were so popular was because they had meaning in their lives. “They were young and still trying to ﬁgure out life, but in some ways they were very mature, both of them, Alex and Josh, in trying to understand more about human nature and what their place was going to be in the world,” said Michael Weil, who, along with Meredith Weil, survive their son Josh. Alex and Josh lived full lives until they died tragically as passengers in a speeding automobile driven by a classmate who veered off County Line Road in Gates Mills and struck a tree on May 14, 2015. One year later, the Doody family of Hunting Valley, and the Weil family of Cleveland Heights, have established the Catch Meaning fund, in

Those pesky periodical insects are making their way to the surface as we speak. Brood V cicadas only make an appearance every 17 years, but the noisy bugs definitely make their presence known. The cicada is a fascinating insect, living most of its life in underground tunnels, just to start the circle of life again in several weeks time.

Blast from the past The last time these cicadas emerged, a gallon of gas was $1.26, the first International Space Station docking was completed, Star Wars: Episode I- The Phantom Menace topped box offices, Charismatic won the 125th Kentucky Derby and 124th Preakness Stakes and you couldn’t post or tweet about any of it.

Brood V cicada invasion to start around Memorial Day

By JOAN DEMIRJIAN rood V was last seen here in 1999. For the past 17 years, cicadas have been living underground, building tunnels and living off roots, patiently waiting for the right time and temperature to emerge. Once conditions are right, they will climb out and shed their exoskeletons. Their red eyes will open, their orange and black body will harden and they will ﬂy off to quench their appetite. From the tops of trees, they will sing for all to hear.

Selby Majewski, a naturalist with the North Chagrin Nature Center of the Cleveland Metroparks, isn’t worried about the coming invasion. In fact, she’s actually looking forward to it. “We are so excited,” Ms. Majewski said. “It’s an awesome natural phenomenon.” The creepy and crunchy but harmless cicadas are back. Ms. Majewski led a discussion about the periodical cicada emergence at the monthly meeting of the Cleveland Natural Science Club at Look About Lodge Turn to Bug on Page 2

A mix-up while ﬁlling the gas tanks on Wednesday led to some customers pumping diesel into their cars instead of gasoline at the Murphy U.S.A. station in the Walmart parking lot. Fortunately for those customers who ﬁlled their tanks with the wrong product, Murphy U.S.A. is stepping up to the plate to correct any problems customers might have with their vehicles. According to JeriAnne Thomas the director of

corporate communications at Murphy U.S.A., “We are doing everything we can to work with our customers and take care of our customers in every way possible.” Thomas said they were ready to pay for tow trucks if needed to get vehicles to repair shops, the cost of the repairs, and rental cars, if needed, until the repairs are made. Customers will need to provide proof of purchase by way of a receipt, and if that isn’t possible, Murphy employees are closely monitoring video surveil-

lance at the station during the time period in question to ensure that only actual customers affected by the mishap receive the corrective measures. Anyone who did not purchase gas there during the time period in question is asked to not try to beneﬁt from it, because the surveillance tapes won’t lie. Thomas indicated the carrier inadvertently pumped the diesel fuel into the wrong tank, and unfortunately the mistake was not

land cheers being started almost every ten minutes at least. The Cavs trimmed the lead quickly in the third quarter, before the Warriors had a couple more streaks in them. JR Smith brought us back with a pair of threes after the Warriors built the lead up to 8 points. Kyrie made his plays and then LeBron took over, scoring or assisting on over 50 percent of the Cavs’ points, including 13 of the 18 in the fourth quarter. The Cavs were only down one going into the fourth quarter and it was anyone’s game. With LeBron and Kyrie as two of the best finishers in the game, the odds were finally in our favor. LeBron made one of the biggest blocks in NBA history and Kyrie Irving made the shot that will now be remembered as The Shot for Cleveland. I don’t know what was more amazing in this 2016 NBA finals - coming back after being down 3-1 to win the championship? The first team ever to do so. Handing Golden State three losses in a row for the first time in almost two years. Beating Golden State four out of the last five games. Winning at the Oracle in back-to-back games there. Winning a game 7 Finals road game for the first time since the Washington Bullets did in 1978. LeBron James becoming the third player to have a triple double in a Finals game 7, joining James Worthy in 1988 and Jerry West in 1969. LeBron James leading every player on both teams in points (208), rebounds (79), assists (62), steals (18) and blocks (16) - the first time any player has done so in any post-season series. Or that the championship drought was finally over for Cleveland. “I came back for a reason,” LeBron James told reporters after the game. “I came back to bring a championship to our city. I knew what I was capable of doing. I knew what I learned in the last couple years that I was gone, and I knew if I had to — when I came back — I knew I had the right ingredients and the right blueprint to help this franchise get back to a place that we’ve never been. That’s what it was all about.” If Cleveland was to ever break the curse, beat the odds and end the 52-year drought, this would be the time to do so, against seemingly insurmountable odds in the greatest and most poetic justice way of doing it. In fact, former Cleveland Cavs Craig Ehlo, who was defending Michael Jordan during the famous “The Shot,” called it “poetic justice.” Fans have suffered through the Fumble, The Drive, The Move, The Mesa blown save, the grounder Fernandez couldn’t field, the Decision of our beloved LeBron James taking his talents to dreaded South Beach. None of that matters now because of the Miracle in game 7. Now instead of hearing Shaq’s unfulfilled words of, “Win a ring for the king,” I will sit back and laugh every time I hear, “It don’t mean a thing if you don’t win the ring,” a sentiment echoed by most of the Golden State Warriors players after winning 73 games, but not the last one that mattered. The Golden State Warriors, who had the best regular season win total in NBA history with a 73-9 record, will now go down in sports lore with the New England Patriots’ 16-0 perfect regular season record and then winning its first two post-season games only to lose in the Super Bowl, the 116-win Seattle Mariners, who didn’t even make the World Series. The Golden State Warriors - who came up one win short in their quest to 16 more wins finished 15-9 in the post season, matching their regular season loss total in only 24 games. The Cleveland Cavaliers pieced those 16 victories together, fittingly like the movie Major League, a hometown favorite, where the team

Michelle Swiniarski owns 2 acres on Cannon Road where she keeps a horse, three sheep, five chickens, two dogs and four cats.

Cooped up in their stalls all morning, horses tear out of the barn for a romp in the pasture at the Rising River Farm, a stretch of 40 acres on Chagrin River Road in Solon. John Halberg purchased the land in 1986, and keeps horses, goats, chickens and other animals. eggs fill a basket in her country-style kitchen. “It’s like a dream,” she said of her home and property. Shakey and the sheep, which she purchased in 2007, graze the pasture 10 months out of the year. She pulls their wool on an annual basis, sells off what she doesn’t need and uses the rest to felt soap which she makes as part of a home-based business. Her perfect day includes taking care of the livestock, working in her vegetable and herb garden and tending to her horse, which she has owned for 25 years. “She is my whole world,” Ms. Swiniarski said of Shakey, patting her gently. “She loves to go out and trail ride and gets excited when we see other horses.” She also loves her sheep buddies. “She is laid back and easy,” Ms. Swiniar-

ski added. Ms. Swiniarski enjoys cleaning Shakey’s stall as much as she enjoys riding her, noting that “you have to enjoy the less glamorous parts of farming.” The couple converted an old garage on the property to a horse stall and decided to eventually rescue sheep. “I needed friends for my horse,” she said with a laugh. The sheep are similar to dogs in a way, she said, and sometimes can be found walking underneath the horse on any given day. Benefits of country living in the city include being close to shopping and having just a 20 minute commute to work for Mr. Swiniarski. “Sure, I’d like 50 acres, but the fact that I’m right near the bridle trail and minutes from anything else I might need is perfect,” she said. “This is everything I’ve ever wanted.”

“Very good quality ‘progress edition,’ in magazine format and co-sponsored by the local CoC. Plenty of original content, both well-written and well-designed with lots of local action photos.”

“I’ve wanted to live on a farm since I was able to say the word,” Ms. Swiniarski said, gazing out the back kitchen window to keep a close eye on 28-year-old Shakey, a registered Paint horse that weighs in at 1,000 pounds. Shakey walks alongside her sheep companions Liesl, Hilda and Matilda on a crisp winter afternoon. “This was just a golden opportunity,” Ms. Swiniarski reflected on finding the land on Cannon in 2004. She and her husband Steven wanted to find their very own farm, as they had boarded Shakey elsewhere and wanted to keep her close. The Cannon Road property was simply a perfect fit, especially because it was in such close proximity to the Cleveland Metroparks Bridle Trail. “I realized I could ride just one quarter of a mile down the road and I was on the Bridle Trail,” Ms. Swiniarski, an avid trail rider, said. The couple added to their farm inhabitants, when in 2008, they purchased their hen chickens. In the summer, “they have the run of the place,” she said with a laugh. Colorful
