virtual domestic violence awareness speakers

Lock Haven University’s H.O.P.E. Center is cosponsoring a virtual discussion on domestic violence awareness with Beverly Gooden and Genna Rocero on Tuesday, October 6 at 7:00 pm. The event is free and open to the public.

Beverly Gooden breaks down the myths and misunderstandings around domestic violence to illuminate the complex reasons why victims stay in abusive relationships, and what you can do to help.

Recently the “me too” movement has shown us what our society considers acceptable can be changed by the work of many individuals coming together to speak with a unified voice. Known for creating the viral Twitter hashtag #WhyIStayed in the wake of several high-profile domestic violence incidents, Gooden sparked a national conversation about how society views victims, while calling for a community response to this important social issue.

Geena Rocero, born and raised in Manila, Philippines, is a model, public speaker, producer, trans rights advocate and co-host of the 2017 Webby Awards honoree TV show “ASPIREist,” broadcasted on HLN/CNN. On March 31, 2014, in honor of International Transgender Day of Visibility, Rocero came out as transgender at the annual TED Conference. Her viral talk has since been viewed more than four million times and translated into 32 languages. Rocero is the founder of Gender Proud, an award-winning media production company that tells stories on what it means to be trans and gender non-conforming.

The event is sponsored by the Gender Equity Center at Penn State University, Student Programming Association (SPA), World Campus, The HOPE Center of Lock Haven University, Juniata College, and Bloomsburg University’s LGBTQA Resource center and Frederick Douglass Institute for Academic Excellence in honor of Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

Oct. 02, 2020 Top 5 Netflix releases in the past year Levi Deitz lwd6487@lockhaven.edu Copy Editor Choosing a new show to watch can be hard with so many options out there. Do you watch the newest crime documentary, or a reality dating show? Perhaps you’d rather watch something more comedic. With so many shows to watch, and not a lot of time, here are the top 5 Netflix releases inthe past year.

1. The first series on this list is “Tiger King.” This crime documentary follows private zookeeper and tiger enthusiast Joe Exotic and his various adventures.

Viewers can watch his attempts at a political career, a music career, but they’ll mostly be attracted to his feud with fellow tiger lover Carole Baskin. The show may seem like any other crime documentary, but the eccentric cast bring a new level of entertainment.

2. If you’re a fan of Marvel or superheroes in general, then “The Umbrella Academy” might be for you. The show follows the dysfunctional Hargreeve siblings and their attempts to stop the apocalypse. The show is based off comic books written by My Chemical Romance’s Gerard Way, and has just entered its second season, so it shouldn’t take long to catch up.

3. The next show is for anyone looking for acompelling, real-life mystery.

“Unsolved Mysteries” covers all topics from the criminal to the paranormal.

This reboot of the 1987 series of the same name released over the summer and covered a town’s UFO encounters and the mysterious deaths of a family.

New episodes will be released on October 19, so you can look forward to that if you enjoy the show.

4. If you’re more into reality television, you should check out “Love is Blind.” The show follows hopeful singles looking for love, but the catch is that they aren’t allowed to see their potential pairings until they choose to get engaged. They then have three weeks to either get married or go their separate ways.

5. The final series on this list is another venture into reality tv, but with lesslove. “The Circle places” contestants in their own apartments, and they may only contact each other through social media. It may seem pretty normal until you realize that they can catfish each other. Watch players lie about their lives in an attempt to win $100,000.

Oct. 02, 2020 “College Road Trip” review

7 A&E Did you know that?

There were 10,297 balloons in “Up.”

Info courtesy of BestLifeOnline.com

Kristin Turner kat5346@lockhaven.edu Opinions Editor The movie “College Road Trip” is about an overprotective father who wants his daughter to go to college close to home instead of going to a college that is far from home because he feels that she isn’t ready to be on her own yet.

The daughter has her heart set on going to Georgetown, which is far from home, and wants to take a road trip with her friends to see the college but her dad comes up with the idea of going on a road trip to see different colleges before Georgetown. He even comes up with all kinds of schemes to try to get her to go to the college that is close to home, Northwestern.

With the cast of Raven Symone, Martin Lawrence, Brenda Song, Lucas Grabeel, Will Sasso and Donny Osmond and directed by Roger Kumble. This movie came out on March 7, 2008.

I thought that this was a really funny movie because it made me think back to when I was looking into college and first starting college and I had mixed feelings when I first started college because there were days when I missed my family and there were days that I didn’t miss my family.

Although I did go to one college for a year and a half and transferred to another, I adjusted well at both colleges by making friends. Growing up under my mom and dad’s roof though, my mother was certainly the overprotective parent so I could understand where the daughter from “College Road Trip” was coming from.

I thought the cast did an amazing job playing their characters because they gave a good representation of how scary it can be leaving home and going to college to pursue whatever dream they have and stepping into their independence. They also showed how tough it can be for a parent to let go of their kids and let them venture out on their own.

A fun fact about the movie would be that Donny Osmond got his role in the movie when the director saw him in the music video for “White & Nerdy” with Weird Al Yankovic.

Trick-or-treating is still on!

Image source: https://northlibertyiowa.org/2020/09/25/is-trick-or-treatinghappening/

Kerri Hoover kah4338@lockhaven.edu Ads/Design Manager

With the start of October right around the corner, many children and adults are wondering what Halloween celebrations are going to look like this fall due to the Coronavirus pandemic.

Despite the CDC releasing guidelines on Sept. 21 that discourages participation in traditional Halloween activities because they are considered “highrisk,” some local communities are still allowing these events to take place.

According to its local government website, the City of Lock Haven is still allowing trick-or-treating to be hosted on Oct. 31 from 6-8 p.m..

The city is leaving the decision about participation up to the individuals. They are asking anyone concerned with the potential exposure to COVID-19 to not participate during the event- whether that be not going door-to-door or simply turning off porch lights on Halloween night.

A similar decision has been made by the Bellefonte Borough whose manager has been receiving numerous phone calls inquiring about the annual holiday celebration.

During a meeting on Sept 21., council members decided to make trick-or-treating an optional event for the local community. They are advising Bellefonte residents interested in participating to turn on their porch lights during the scheduled hours on Oct. 31.

In response to the inquisitions, council member Doug Johnson told the Centre County Gazette, “It is on. If people want to participate, if the light is on, go trick-or-treating.”

Horoscopes Aries(Mar. 21-Apr. 19)- Add spark to your life today, Ar-

ies. It could be that things are getting stale and boring. If so, consider the possibility that you simply aren’t challenging yourself enough. Remember that you’re responsible for lighting your own fire. You have the perfect opportunity to get something started today, so go for it. Feel free to get other people to help.

Taurus(Apr. 20- May 20)- People are apt to try to hit you square on the head with their ideas and thoughts today, Taurus, so be ready for the onslaught of information that may come your way. There’s a distinct advantage to listening to the whole spiel before you react with your own facts and emotions.

The problem is that you’re going to be tempted to argue instead of calmly resolve the matter.

Gemini(May 21-Jun. 20)- Anchor yourself in practical matters before you try to prove your point to others. There’s a great deal of primal energy rising within you today and searching for some sort of outlet. Be aware of overextending yourself when it comes to issues of the mind. You may be so anxious to prove your point that you end up losing sight of the reality of the situation.

Cancer (Jun. 21-Jul. 22)- Don’t take no for an answer today, Cancer. Know what you believe in and stick with it. There’s a distinct advantage to holding true to your inner nature. Don’t let others throw you off course with their views on how things should be done. Be confident and don’t worry about taking things over the top. There’s no such thing as excess today. “The more the merrier” should be your motto.

Leo(Jul. 23-Aug. 22)- Be a pioneer thinker today, Leo. There’s a noble courage in your thoughts, so don’t let this quality go to waste. You will be surprised at how cutting edge you can be when you put your mind to it. Take a walk by yourself and contemplate the next major move that you’d like to make in your life. Feel free to brainstorm bold ways to execute this plan.

Virgo(Aug. 23-Sept. 22)- Be aggressive and forceful when it comes to exerting your will, Virgo. Let others know that you won’t be a pushover. Your opinions are extremely important, and they need to be heard by the people who matter the most. Have faith that whatever you say has the power to come true, especially when you enlist the help of those around you. Opportunity lies in joining hands with others.

Libra(Sept. 23- Oct. 22)- Today may be one of those days in which you come to a four-way stop and no one knows whose turn it is. Don’t sit and

wait for everyone else to go first, Libra. If you know it’s your turn, be bold and make your move. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to signal others that you’re going ahead. People might not be used to you taking such an aggressive role.

Scorpio(Oct. 23- Nov. 21)- People would be foolish to challenge your thinking now, Scorpio. The power behind your words is volatile, and you may find yourself going to extremes in order to get your point across. Be careful about making promises you can’t fulfill. It could be that you’re so adamant about your point of view that you make up hyperbolic situations just to get your ideas across.

Sagittarius(Nov. 22- Dec. 21)- Your old ways of thinking have carried you quite far, Sagittarius, but you may now find that it’s time to seek a new platform for your ideas. Look for more adventurous ways to express yourself. Break out of the old mold and try something new. Once you start in a bran- new direction, there will be a great deal of support encouraging you to continue along that way.

Capricorn(Dec. 22- Jan. 19)- One quick phone call to a friend may turn into a long discussion about the meaning of life, Capricorn. Be conscious of the fact that there’s a great deal of momentum building in your mind now. Once the dam breaks, you may soon have a giant flood on your hands. Be careful about releasing all this energy at once, even though you may not seem to have a choice.

Aquarius(Jan. 20- Feb. 18)- It could be that you feel a bit of pressure today to start or create something that you aren’t quite ready for, Aquarius. There is hesitation on your part that indicates you should take it slowly and learn more of the facts before you jump into the fray. Position yourself in such a way that you take control of the situation rather than become a victim of it.

Pisces(Feb. 19- Mar. 20)- Move forward with your plan of attack today, Pisces. There’s an anxious rumble within you that’s urging you to get going with a current plan. You have all the facts you need, so don’t hesitate any longer. The power of the word is with you. You will be smooth, collected, and confident even in the most nerve-wracking situations. Words will flow off your tongue with ease.

How to get ready for Winter

Kristin Turner kat5346@lockhaven.edu Opinions Editor Winter isn’t too far off as we head into October with Halloween and then into November with Thanksgiving.

Not everybody likes winter but there are people who do. Here are some tips on how to get ready for winter, whether or not it’s your favorite season.

1. Start stocking up on winter clothes like gloves, scarves, coats and boots. Depending on where you are, it’ll be freezing cold outside. You’ll definitely want to bundle up if you don’t want frostbite. It’ll be especially important to bundle up if you have to walk in the snow to school, classes or work.

2. Hot drinks are a must have. Drinks like hot chocolate, hot tea or hot coffee are good in the winter time because it’ll keep you warm.

3. Stock up on snow equipment. Stocking up on shovels and snow plows will come in handy if you live in a home or in an apartment because it will help you clear the snow out of your driveway to get to work or school.

4. Eat well and drink plenty of fluids. This will come in handy because you dehydrate faster in cold weather.

5. Get plenty of rest. Getting plenty of rest helps when you have to walk to school or work and helps you stay alert and focused.

6. Find a good book to read. There is nothing like curling up with a good book and a hot chocolate, a hot tea or a hot coffee and a blanket.

7. Load up on blankets. It’s important to keep lots of blankets around especially when the temperature gets below zero.

8. Find a good movie to watch. There are tons of good movies to curl up and watch with friends and family.

This would also go well with a blanket and a hot chocolate, hot tea or a hot coffee.

9. Get stuff to make cookies. In the winter time, it’s always a tradition to bake cookies, especially around Christmas time when we build gingerbread houses, bake chocolate chip and sugar cookies.

10. Start a Christmas playlist. With winter fast approaching, it won’t be long before Christmas arrives and it will be time to listen to Christmas music to get into the spirit of the holiday.

11. Start Christmas shopping as early as you can.

It’s a good idea to start christmas shopping early to avoid the black friday crowds.

Disney’s new “Mulan” release brings unexpected controversy

Brittany Robertson bnr888@lockhaven.edu Staff Writer It was discovered that the movie goes to thank four Chinese Communist Party Propaganda departments in a region that has a human rights situation happening.

The Xinjiang region is home to the Uyghurs. This group of people have been the center of the worst human rights abuses. This group of people are made up of Uyghurs who are a Turkic-speaking minority group.

Though it has been reported that more than a million members of this group have been sent to concentration camps across the Xinjiang region. They are subjected to a forced sterilization campaign that caused the birth rate to drop significantly in 2019. The CFO of Disney, Christine McCarthy explains that parts of the movie were filmed in China and acknowledging those governments is a widely used practice.

The movie opened in China with an estimated $23.2 million dollars in box office revenue. During filming last year, the lead actress was supporting Hong Kong Police in protests over pro-democracy demonstrations. Disney has partnered with the government of China to create Shanghai Disneyland and has a theme park in Hong Kong.

The company was trying to mend a relationship with the country in response to the 1998 version of the movie, “Mulan” where it was not well received then. The live-action remake scored a 4.9/10 on the Chinese social networking website, Douhan.

Normalizing curse words

Kiara Carson knc9459@lockhaven.edu Managing Editor When we think about curse words, we often associate them as being “bad” or “inappropriate” because that’s what we were told as children by our parents/guardians. I’ve even heard certain parents say to their kids that they’re not allowed to use those type of words until we’re older. But, at what age can these words be deemed truly appropriate for someone to say?

A lot of people would agree that they’re reserved for people that are 18+, which is probably a good idea considering we don’t want our children running around cursing at others left and right. But what about when we become teenagers?

They might not seem interested in using them at 13, but at 16, I believe it almost becomes second nature to them to use these words as an expression of anger like most people do.

However, if they do use them at that age then I’m sure there’ll still be consequences as parents will argue that those words are still highly inappropriate. There never seems to be a happy medium when it comes to who can and can’t say those words even though most of them are in the dictionary, where anyone can simply open one and read them from the page.

Why forbid using words that are clearly public record?

Why delay the inevitable? If it were my children wanting to learn and use these words, then I’d set boundaries first. For example, there wouldn’t be any cursing around the children until they turned 15/16 so that we could avoid corrupting their more young and influential minds.

This may seem unrealistic as they’d be exposed to others who would definitely know those words and blurt them out anywhere, but at least I’d have some control over their vernacular from the start so that they can feel more comfortable with asking me about these new words they may have learned accident.

Then, I’d teach them every swear word in the book including the ones in different languages just to keep things interesting. This way they’ll officially have all the tools they need to defend themselves in an argument or just knowing the meaning of these words in general.

We have a right to use them in any way we please. What matters is the time, place, and audience. A lot of people don’t have much tact when it comes to cursing. They’ll use it all willy-nilly not really caring who hears them and where they are especially if they let their anger get the best of them.

I believe that if everyone learns to use curse words the right way, then perhaps we can normalize how and when we can use them. They’re a part of everyday life and can’t be avoided forever so why not view them as an exciting learning experience rather than vulgar and forbidden things we’re never supposed to touch.

Remembering Gayle “Kansas Comet” Sayers

Brittany Robertson Staff Writer bnr888@lockhaven.edu The Chicago Bears announced this past Wednesday the passing of Gayle Sayers.

Gayle Sayers was a member of the Chicago Bears football team from 1965 to 1971. He was a halfback and kick return specialist during his career with the Bears. He was born in Wichita Kansas and attended the University of Kansas. During his collegiate career, he was selected AllAmerican.

He was drafted alongside Dick Butkus during the 1965 NFL Draft. He played both halfback and was a return kick specialist on the team. During his five seasons with the Bears, Gayle had 3,172 return yards, 4,956 rushing yards, 39 rushing touchdowns with 5.0 yards per carry as a halfback. His return specialist career included: scoring six touchdowns and averaging more than 30 yards per kickoff return. A knee injury sidelined him during the 1967 season.

Gayle formed a friendship with teammate, Brian Piccolo who helped Sayers rehab through the knee injury.

Gayle was a Black football player and Brian was a white football player. Both were competing for playtime and carries. A change in the hotel room assignment policy built their friendship.

After recovering from the injury that sidelined Gayle late the previous season, Sayers was selected to the AllPro team, and made sure that Brian was included in the recognition as well. The friendship became well-known when Brian made a difficult decision to pull himself out of a game due to breathing difficulties.

It was then discovered that Piccolo had an aggressive form of testicular cancer that spread to his chest cavity.

Gayle became Brian’s advocate for support in the fight until Brian died. Gayle received the George H. Salas award for his support with Brian’s fight with cancer. The movie, “Brian’s Song’’ showcased the friendship between teammates. The movie was released in 1971 then re-released in 2001.

Later after his NFL career ended, Gayle Sayers was elected to the NFL’s 75th anniversary team both as a halfback and return specialist. He is the only player with this honor. He served as the athletic director at the University of Illinois-Carbondale.

Gayle founded several technology, consultant businesses and was a supporter of several Chicago inner city youth initiatives. His wife announced in 2013, that Gayle was diagnosed with dementia. Gayle died on September 22 at age 77 from his fight with dementia. He will be missed, but never forgotten and may he find peace.

LHU soccer programs earn national academic team award

LHU Department of Athletics dspatafo@lockhaven.edu LOCK HAVEN, Pa. – The United Soccer Coaches have announced the 2019-20 Team Academic awards, and both the Lock Haven University men’s and women’s soccer teams were honored with the national distinction.

To be honored, a program must have achieved a team grade-point-average of 3.0 or higher during the 2019-20 academic year.

In all, 918 collegiate teams were honored including 570 women’s programs and 348 men’s teams. LHU was one of 191 institutions that saw both its men’s and women’s soccer programs awarded the academic honors.

In 2019, under the direction of first-year head coach Maggie Kuhn, the women’s soccer team capped the season with a “Senior-Night” victory. Leading the way for Lock Haven last fall was senior Marah Foltz, who earned All-Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) honors. Foltz - a career-standout and 2018 AllAmerican - finished her tenure with 26 goals.

Head coach Patrick Long led the men’s soccer team to a 10-win season in 2019. LHU capped the season on a four-match win streak and the 10-win campaign marked Lock Haven’s most wins in a single-season since 2011. The play of freshman-phenom Andrea DiSomma highlighted the year. DiSomma was named the PSAC East Freshman of the Year and he earned AllAmerican honors.
