Florida experiences record breaking hurricane

Levi Deitz Managing Editor

lwd6497@lockhaven.edu

Hurricane Ian made landfall along the southwest Florida coast at 3:05 pm on Wednesday September 28. The record-breaking storm smashed into Flori da as a Category 4 hurricane with 150 mph winds. Governor Ron DeSantis stated, “We’ve never seen a flood event like this, we’ve never seen a storm surge of this magnitude.”

The National Hurricane Center considers storm surge, which is the rising of water caused by the storm, to be the most dangerous aspect of a hur ricane. According to the National Oceanic and At mospheric Administration (NOAA), Hurricane Ian caused a surge of up to 18 feet in some regions of Florida, which is unprecedented for the area.

According to Yale Climate Connections, Hurricane Ian is tied “as the fifth-strongest hurricane on record to make a contiguous U.S. landfall.” They also said to prepare for immense damage, as Ian is expected to be one of the most damaging hurricanes of all time.

Hurricane Ian originated as a tropical wave, found by the NHC on September 19. The storm eventually strengthened into a tropical storm, and later a Category 3 hurricane before making land fall in Cuba. As it moved toward the United States, it grew to and made landfall as a Category 4 hur ricane. Florida residents also began posting videos of tornadoes caused by the storm in the hours be fore it hit. As of the morning of September 29, Hur ricane Ian has been demoted to a tropical storm, though it is still expected to impact the United States east coast.

According to USA Today, eight deaths have been confirmed so far as a result of the storm. Two of these occurred in Cuba, with the remaining six occurring in Florida. NBC also reported nearly two

dozen Cuban migrants are missing after their boat was caught in the storm. The U.S. Coast Guard is currently conducting a search-and-rescue opera tion.

President Biden has also approved Governor DeSantis’s request for the storm to be declared a ‘major disaster’, which has opened the door for fed eral aid to be provided, according to Politico. Some of the images and videos coming out of Florida have shown bridges collapsed and houses moved off their foundations by flooding. The hurricane also caused 2 million people to lose power.

According to Politico, “The head of Florida’s big gest electric utility also sounded the alarm that getting the lights back on won’t be easy while parts of the grid may need to be completely rebuilt.” No timeline was given as to exactly when people can expect to begin regaining power.

On helping the recovery process, President Biden stated, “I want the people of Florida to know that we will be here at every step of the way.”

Ukraine update: Russia pushes nuclear threats again

Alex Ross News Editor

amr1884@lockhaven.edu

Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev echoed nuclear threats made by the country’s leader, Vladimir Putin on Tuesday. Medvedev, one of Russia’s current Security Council chairmen, took to Telegram to criticize US President Joe Biden along with other NATO aligned nations.

Medvedev stated the threats are not bluffs and that NATO wouldn’t join the conflict even if “Russia is forced to use the most fearsome weapon against the Ukrainian regime.” Liz Truss, UK’s Prime Minister, was also called out by Medvedev in his Telegram posts, stating she would “begin an exchange of nuclear strikes with [Russia].”

The reaction from NATO over these threats is condemnation, but they seek no confrontation with the Kremlin. The group of nations would take a defensive stance rather than match Russia’s aggression. If the nation were to use nuclear or chemical weapons, this would be considered a war crime.

The White House released a statement saying if Russia followed through with these threats, they will meet “catastrophic consequences.” Jake Sullivan, the national security advisor for the White House, said in an

interview with “Face the Nation” that “The US and our allies will respond decisively, and we have been clear and specific about what that will entail.”

Ben Wallace, the UK defense secretary, issued a statement through the Ministry of Defense saying that “no amount of threats and propaganda can hide the fact that Ukraine is winning this war.” Wallace continued with “[Putin] and his Defense Minister have sent tens of thousands of their own citizens to their deaths, ill equipped and badly led. No amount of threats and propaganda can hide the fact that Ukraine is winning this war…”

These threats come after a large loss for the Kremlin motherland. Ukraine reported in early September that the nation took back upwards of 2,300 sq mi of land, despite Ukraine having a third of the military personnel of Russia.

There is no sign to when this conflict will end, even after seven months of fighting. Since the deployment of 100,000 troops by Russia to Ukrainian territory, nearly 6,000 Russian fighters and 4,600 Ukrainian troops have died.

Dancing into the spotlight with

LHU’s Dance Consort team

Shi-Anne Hockenberry Design and Ads Manager srh3077@lockhvaen.edu

Dance Consort has had its au ditions and is now working their butts off for their end of semes ter showcase. Dance Consort is a no-cut sport, anyone is welcome to join. Even if you have a ton of dance experience or little to no experience at all.

talent in every one of them! I think we will have a successful year!”

Last semester’s movie: Disney’s Avatar

Freshman, Heather Sherant, who has recently joined this se mester to get an insight into why she tried out and what she loves about Dance Consort. Sherant ex pressed why she chose to try out because she has such a huge love for dance and didn’t want to leave it behind when starting college. Her favorite part about dance is, “[getting] to express [herself] with people who also love dance just as much as I do.”

Lindsey Badeau one of the newest choreographers to Dance Consort, was interviewed. Badeau went into why she chose to be a choreographer this semester.

“I’ve been dancing for a long time and I wanted to share what I’ve learned with others in a piece I’m confident in while learning along the way myself!”

Having such a large group of dancers for this semester seems to have a given everyone a big out look and Badeau feels the same way.

“We have an amazing group of dancers this semester! So much

President of Dance Consort, Morgan Houser gave more specific details about her role and about Dance Consort. In her role as president, she checks choreography applications, reserves rooms for dance, organizes practice times, and does the overall plan ning for every aspect of Dance Consort.

Houser mentioned that every dancer can only do a maximum of six dances per semester and that they currently have 24 dancers this semester. She also explained that the latest you can join Dance Consort is just before the middle of the semester. This is because it would be a big undertaking to learn a whole dance within a couple of weeks before the showcase.

Something that was mentioned by the three dancers was that Dance Consort is “like a big family.” This is something they all love most about doing Dance Consort here at Lock Haven University.

If you are looking for a new club to join, Dance Consort is ac cepting people with open arms, and it’s not too late to join. But, if you’re just looking to see a good showcase, mark your calendars for the end of November to watch Dance Consort perform.

Playlist: “Falling for fall”

Kassidee Wozniak Opinions Editor kbw191@lockhvaen.edu

What’s not to love about the fall season? The weather is a per fect medium cold, leaves are falling and changing colors, sweaters make a comeback, pumpkinflavored everything, and spend ing time with your family during Halloween and Thanksgiving. The smell of fall is a combination of musky-sweet with earthy tones from leaf piles, but what is the sound of fall?

This playlist is curated to cap ture the sound and the feeling of walking through town on a crisp autumn morning. The genres of the five songs listed in the playlist will vary from folk, indie, alterna tive and rock. Link to playlist on Spotify.

“YUNG” by Younger HungerThis track serves as the voice of the younger generation in 2020 in response to having to conform to the high expectations placed on them. Just like the seasons need to change, so do people in the way they perceive things. The background music can transport listeners back to the 80’s with its electronic synth-pop sound.

“Freakin’ Out on the Interstate” by Briston Maroney - A great song to explain the fall blues. This song resembles the feeling of falling in love while bat tling with seasonal depression,

with lyrics such as “ I’m sorry I haven’t been myself, And some thing’s got me down, What it is, I cannot tell”.

“California Dreamin’” by The Mamas & The Papas - If you al ready miss the warmth of sum mer, this song is for you. The song’s opening lyrics describe the essence of fall with “All the leaves are brown, and the sky is grey”. This track has the ability to put listeners in a trance with the har monious vocals from John Phil lips, Denny Doherty, Cass Elliot, and Michelle Phillips.

“Time of the Season” by The Zombies - What time is it? As stated in the track’s title it’s time for the season of fall. The song’s lyrics are a conversation between two possible love interests “What’s your name? Who’s your daddy? Is he rich like me? Has he taken Any time to show you what you need to live?”.

“Rosyln” by Bon Iver - This is a great song to listen to when looking out a window watching leaves fall to the ground. The subtle scratchy guitar strums blend nicely with the vocalist’s dark ominous pitch and compliment each other. Fun Fact: this song is included in the soundtrack for The Twilight Saga: New Moon.

Safe sex 101 for college students

Alex Ross News Editor amr1884@lockhaven.edu

College comes with a few caveats and a few benefits as a young adult. One such caveat for most students is being forced to face the world with little hand holding from guardians or family. However, the flip side to this coin is finally express ing the freedoms you never got to in high school.

Exploring said freedoms can be fun, but also dangerous. Sex is one of those freedoms and there are plenty of issues to be wary about. Here are a few tips to help safely practice sex with partners.

Use condoms. Nobody likes STIs. They are nasty, harmful, and a big turn off to others. A good way to keep these nasty things away is by wearing condoms. Pharmacies and certain grocery stores carry differing amounts of male condoms, and most are safe to use. While they are not as common, female condoms exist too. However, some condoms do not protect against all STIs and some are made of latex, which can be an issue due to certain people having latex allergies. Ultimately, reading the descriptions on the packages will be the best way to figure out what works best for the user and their partner.

Use hormonal birth control. Barrier methods like condoms are effective, but hormonal methods are practical as well. “The pill,” also known as oral contracep -

tives, is the most common form of hormonal birth control. There are services online that can provide pills, though the best technique for acquiring the pill is through a gynecologist. There are also patches and an IUD (intrauterine device) which both can be acquired through a gy necologist as well.

Test for STIs often. Despite using pro tection and asking partners if they have an STI, there is still a chance people come in contact with an STI. Testing frequently can hinder the chances of spreading an STI by revealing if one is present in the body despite there being little to no symp toms. Getting tested may seem embarrass ing at first, but having an STI is debatably more embarrassing.

How to slash prices as a student

Kerri Hoover Managing Editor kah4338@lockhaven.edu

Getting a college education is a hefty financial responsibility. While college provides most young adults with a newfound sense of freedom and independence, it’s also the first time students are tasked with paying for large expenses, such as tuition, housing, and countless other living costs necessary for survival and recreation. Luckily, there are many companies who offer food and subscription discounts for broke students.

Check out sll of the following student discount offerings that are available for LHU students, both in downtown Lock Haven and online.

Restaurants and fast-food chains. There are several restau rants and fast-food joints located in Lock Haven that offer discounts to students. This includes Burger King, Arby’s, Wendy’s, Dunkin Donuts, and Texas Lunch. LHU students can receive 10% off their total purchase by showing their student ID card.

Roxy Theatre and Clinton County Lanes. Lock Haven students can get free Roxy movie theater and Clinton County Lanes bowling tickets. These are available about every other week through Student Activities. Roxy tickets are good for one free movie admission on Friday, Saturdays, or Sundays. Bowling tickets are also valid on week ends and equate to two free games and one shoe rental. Students can look at their Student Activities email to see which tickets are available and when. They can be picked up at the PUB, Student Rec Center, or residence hall desks. Even if tickets aren’t available on certain weekends, students can

still purchase Roxy movie theater tickets from the PUB Info Desk at a discounted price of $5.

Goodwill. Thrifting is all the craze this fall. Students can expand upon their wardrobe or pick up some items for their rooms at a reduced rate. On Sundays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays at Goodwill on East Walnut Street (beside Save-A-Lot), LHU students can receive 15% off their purchases by presenting their college ID.

Spotify. Spotify offers a great deal to students looking for a premium music streaming ser vice. For just $4.99 a month, people can get unlimited access to its music library without ad vertisements. As a part of the discount package, students also get free access to monthly Hulu and SHOWTIME television subscriptions if they login with their Spotify accounts.

DoorDash. Everyone Door Dashes now and again. DashPass for Students is now available at $4.99 a month. With this service, students never have to leave their dorm room for food ever again with free delivery on all eligible orders.

Amazon. Memberships are cut in half for college students with an Amazon Prime Student ac count. For an annual cost of $69, individuals are provided with several special offers from Amazon as well as other third-party companies. Along with the standard Amazon Prime benefits such as free shipping, one-day delivery, and Prime Video, student memberships also come with $1 monthly Amazon Music subscriptions, textbook discounts, LinkedIn Premium, and free GrubHub delivery.

Letter to the Editor: The silencing of sexual assault victims

Letter to the Editor

lockhaveneagleeye@gmail.com

I’ll never forget what I was wearing dur ing my assaults. At the time, I never would have imagined my brain would latch onto such a minute detail. I wasn’t dressed slutty. What shame it is that I must clarify I was dressed “modestly” at the time of my at tacks. I don’t need to explain this to any man or woman who has lived through this.

We know our clothes are not sending any messages. I’m not talking about mini skirts implying sexual readiness. Oh no. I’m talking about my favorite pair of leggings I was forced to throw in the dumpster because I couldn’t dare feel them on my body again. I’m talking about the night shirt I wore for three days in a row after remembering the black out. The shirt should have stayed on me, but instead was stripped off and discarded. Much like my dignity that very morning.

I’m talking about the shorts that were used to wipe off the mess you left on my body. A mess I wasn’t conscious enough to clean myself. I’m talking about the sweat shirt my roommate picked out for me the day I decided to speak up. One sleeve used for my snot and tears, and the other used for her snot and tears. She used to be friends with my attacker.

He transferred to play ball an hour away after word spread. Was he embarrassed of what his friends would say? Or was he scared of what I would do when I started to remember? I’ll never forget staring at the words ‘Cape May’ across my mom’s shirt. I

couldn’t meet her eyes as I confessed I had been raped. It had been easier to look at her shirt and avoid her eyes. Seeing the pain and disappointment escaping her face would surely break me.“You don’t understand how it feels!” I shouted in defense to her silence and head shaking. I can feel her internal struggle to find words.“I do know how it feels.”

Hearing those words changed me forev er. No one is protected from being sexually abused. Not even the people who raised you. We can do our best to spread awareness, hold each other tight and pray to god that they get what’s coming for them, but this only goes so far. We are discouraged as victims to step forward.

Sept. 30, 2022

my situation as I came for ward while he knew I had stepped forward he became angry this was breach of privacy as I told this was confidential since I was a minor. I can no longer enter Wiliamsport without fear of seeing him or seeing someone who looks like him.

How can we allow this cycle to happen and not break the chain to protect women in our country who face this problem. Part of the appeal for men is that they know victims won’t come forward because of the slut shaming or being told it was our fault by how we dressedin the situation. One of the primary reasons women don’t come forward to report sexual harassment or assault is shame.

Don’t believe me? How many times have we seen mandated reporters fall short? Men remaining in power regardless of the multiple sexual assault accusations on them? We live in a society where even as students we are not protected from predators. The people we thought we could trust end up be ing the ones who abuse us and destroying our trust.

For me it was a teacher in mid- dle school who started the cycle of abuse I would see for years to follow. My teacher in high school thought no one had seen what he did but he was wrong because my classmate saw he had touched me, as tears filled my eyes my classmate tried to comfort me af ter what had happened. When I reported, I was told it was my fault it happened as I dressed like a temptress, tempting him as I distracted him from teaching.

Whether it was my best guy friend throw ing me against the wall grabbing my throat leaving marks during the school day. No one listened or believed me and my story to a gang member assaulting me while at my place of work and HR not doing their job protecting me but their company name.

Being told nothing would be done about

Shame is at the core of the in tense emotional wounding women and men experience when theyare sexually violated. Our voices will no longer be silenced. We will speak up and demand justice.

I will not be victimized any more as I will use my voice to stand up and speak out against sexual assault and the stigma that surrounds it.

If you are in need of help please feel free to contact the LHU Public Safety at (570) 484-2278, the HOPE Center at (570)-4842111, or the National Sexual Assault hotline at (800) 656-4673.

Joel Robinson Staff Writer

jmr4508@lockhaven.edu

The aforementioned Palma, Megan Beppler, Ellie Mead, and Florance de Kroon were crucial in defending Felix in goal. This win maintains the Lady Eagle’s unde feated home record, bringing it to 7-0.

UP NEXT -- LHU will be on the road for their next in-conference contest vs Davidson (3-6) on Friday, Sept. 30. at 7 p.m. This game will no longer be broadcasted as planned due to the potential of inclement weather due to tropical storm Ian.

Penn State Women’s Hockey falls hard against Wisconsin to split series

Ashley Lawson Sports Editor ael9097@lockhaven.edu

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. After a 4-1 win against Wisconsin on Sept. 22 at Pegula Ice Arena, the Nittany Lions took to the ice the following day, Sept. 23, with hopes to win the series.

The first period was relatively uneventful, with Wiscon sin goalie Jane Gervais blocking all seven shots on goal, and Penn State goalie Josie Bothun blocking all 13 shots the Badgers sent her way. Penn State forward (F) Olivia Wallin was issued a penalty for tripping with 18:37 left in the period. Wisconsin sent the Nittany Lions on the power play three times this period, and they were unable to capitalize on this prime opportunity. Wis consin’s Claire Enright (F) received a penalty for cross checking with only 20 seconds left in the period, giving the Nittany Lions an advantage at the start of the second.

A power play goal from Kiara Zanon (F) lit the lamp only 87 seconds after the start of the second period, with an assist from Wallin, giving Penn State the 1-0 lead. With 12:27 left in the period, the Badgers responded with a goal from Casey O’Brien (F). Forwards Britta Curl and Lacey Eden went on to score two more goals in the period for Wisconsin giving them the 3-1 lead.

The Nittany Lions came back out for the third period with the ability to make a comeback, but were unsuccessful. The op posing Badgers came out with blades of fury, with Sophie Shirley (F) scoring only 23 seconds after the period opened up, giving them a 4-1 lead. A minute later, O’Brien received a two minute penalty for hooking, sending Penn State on another power play. There was a valiant effort on Penn State’s end, with six shot at tempts, but unfortunately it was fruitless. With 12:41 left in the period, Eden scored her second goal of the night, bringing Wis consin’s lead to 5-1. The Badgers now looked even more determined than they did at the start of the game.

An exhausted Bothun was pulled from the net and freshman goaltender Katie DeSa was sent in as her replacement, marking her career debut. Thirty seconds after Penn State’s decision to send DeSa in, Wisconsin’s Laila Edwards (F) was able to tally the sixth goal for her team. Tessa Janecke (F) landed a solid body check, sending herself into the penalty box and giving Wisconsin a less-than-necessary power play. A minute into the power play, Kirsten Simms (F) notched another point for Wis consin; Jesse Compher (F) got the puck into the back of the net a mere 49 seconds later. As a last ditch effort, in hopes to keep the Badgers at only eight goals, Penn State pulled DeSa and sent in Annie Spring as her replacement. Spring was able to block two shots sent to her before Shirley was able to grab her second goal of the night with 4:23 left in the game. Wisconsin closed the game in their favor, 9-1.

UP NEXT -- Penn State hits the road to neutral ice in Can ton, N.Y. to face Minnesota Duluth on Sept. 30 at 4 p.m.
