Criminal Justice Department hosts alumni speaker from National Park Service Staff Reports On October 29, faculty from the Lock Haven University Criminal Justice Department hosted alum, Brendt Coyle ’13, for a presentation on the United States National Park Service. He spoke to Dr. Dwayne Marshall’s law enforcement class, and then did a second presentation to interested students that included criminal justice and biology majors.

Coyle graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in criminal justice and works in the Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Park as a park ranger. This is the second time that Coyle has returned to LHU to speak to students about careers with the U.S. National Park Service and his experience working law enforcement as a park ranger.

Coyle credited his career in the National Park Service to an internship he completed at LHU as a surf lifeguard at the Assateague Island National Seashore. According to Coyle, not many students are aware of careers with the National Park Service and opportunities to work at locations through the U.S. and its territories.

“Brendt wanted to share his experiences navigating a career path with the United States National Park Service,” said Dr. Katie Ely, associate professor and Criminal Justice Department Chair at LHU. “Also, hearing from a recent alum who is now a park ranger is value added to student experience at LHU. We were very appreciative of Brendt taking time out of his schedule to talk with current LHU students and the students certainly appreciate his presentation.”

6 LHU play “Almost Maine” review Professor Laxman D. Satya Guest Writer LSatya@lockhaven.edu

Not too long ago, the opening nights of LHU’s Sloan Auditorium main stage use to be packed. But last night’s opening of “Almost, Maine” was rather disappointing. Only 15 to 25 people showed up, sitting thinly scattered in a dark hall. Upon entering the auditorium, one saw a dimly lit stage in purple. A long red wooden chair is placed in the middle of a background sky lit up with stars.

The play itself is in the form of nine short skits in quick succession. The geographical setting is winter in an imaginary timeless land. The content of these skits is nothing out of the ordinary. Did the mundane theme of love and loss fail or succeed in igniting emotions among the digital age generation, who

formed bulk of the audience? It may or may not have succeeded in creating much effect on these products of a psychologically charged society. The University Players could have chosen a more appropriate theme of a political satire or violence to go with the current atmosphere of election and corruption in the country.

The stage performance itself was average compared to other plays put out over the years like The Good Kids or Nightfall with Edgar Allan Poe. Did the fast pace of the plays, give the audience enough time to think?

Often, the next play would begin even while the stage hands were still doing their job. This made the stage management look poor. All the characters in the play are ‘lily white.’ Drawing a wee bit of color and ethnicity from the diverse and talented student body of the University could have embellished the stage. But this opportunity was lost.

In sum total: The Direction, Costume Design, Set Design, Makeup, Sound, and Light is well produced. The stage did capture the atmosphere of cold wintry nights and clear starlit sky that transports the audience to the remote region of northeastern US. But the plays somehow seem disjointed. Inability to weave all the skits together in an innovative manner of presentation, meant a failure of imagination.

Perhaps, the actor and playwright John Cariani himself would have liked to see these plays be made more relevant for the present and future. However, a couple of skits among the cluster of ‘Almost Maine,’ were really well performed. ‘They Fell’ and ‘Seeing the Thing’ featured a highly talented performer under the pseudonym Chad and Dave. The performance of Deena and Shelly in the repeat of ‘They Fell’ was also excellent. So, LHU’s got talent. There’s no doubt about it.

International pianist visits Lock Haven Mark Matthews

Copy Editor mjm2923@lockhaven.edu Lock Haven University received a guest pianist during a concert in Price Auditorium, Nov. 10.

John Silva, a pianist and composer, started playing and improvising the piano at the age of three. He is also a graduate of the Trinity College of Music in London, UK with a Music degree in performance. Currently, he is also the Director of Keyboard at Eastern University.

This was his third performance here at Lock Haven University. During the performance itself, Silva played a ton of songs which lasted for approximately an hour.

While watching the performance, I noticed how focused he was in order to perform smoothly. I also noticed how fast his hands were moving all over the keyboard. It takes a lot of time and practice to nail it. I personally play the trumpet and that only has three keys. I can’t imagine having to deal with 88 (the amount a piano has).

Even though Silva focuses mainly on classical piano and composition, he does have many other musical interests, including a passion for classical organ.

Recordings are available at his website, jsilvapiano.com.

GUESS THE MOVIE QUOTE

7 “The Grinch” (2018) movie review Kristin Turner

“I knew it was a great mistake for a man like me to fall in love.”

Last week’s quote: The Avengers

?

Did You Know?

The cigarette that Sigourney Weaver’s character smokes in Avatar was completely done with CGI

Guest Writer kat5346@lockhaven.edu The new Grinch movie just follows the story that everybody knows but kind of has a modern spin to it with the Grinch using all kinds of gadgets to steal Christmas. It was really funny and very cute as well.

There was a different backstory to it then the one that they told in the movie with Jim Carrey. In the Jim Carrey version, the Grinch was bullied for being different and liking Christmas. In this new Grinch movie, he was all alone in an orphanage on christmas and he wanted to get revenge.

The one thing that I took away from it was the moral of the story, which was that Christmas wasn’t about getting gifts and material things, that it was about love, kindness, and joy. The grinch thought that if he stole everybody’s christmas that it would make him feel the happiness that he never felt when he was all alone in the orphanage, but he learned that Christmas was much more than that all thanks to a little girl down in Whoville named Cindy Lou Who. In the movie, they certainly put a new twist to Cindy Lou Who as well. They don’t mention a father in the new Grinch movie. Instead they show that her mother works long hours to take care of her and her kids and show kindness to everyone in whoville. Cindy’s big wish for Santa is that she wants something

nice for her mom because of how hard she works and how much kindness she shows for her kids and the whole town.

I like how they introduced new characters to the story and that they had they Grinch use an actual reindeer at first named Fred and then he had his dog Max be the stand-in reindeer like we all know from the story.

The cast list for the new Grinch movie was Benedict Cumberbatch (the Grinch), Cameron Seely (Cindy-Lou Who), Rashida Jones (Cindy’s mother), and Pharrell Williams as the narrator. The directors were Yarrow Cheney and Scott Mosier.

The new Grinch movie came out on November 14 at the Roxy theater in Lock Haven, PA but I got to see it on Saturday with a friend of mine.

I think Benedict Cumberbatch did a fabulous job playing the Grinch because he really made the Grinch come to life and knew how to tell a story and teach a lesson.

The new Grinch movie would be an awesome movie for everyone because it’s funny, cute, and it has a really strong message about what Christmas is really about just like its predecessor.

LIFESTYLES

International Food and Education Week comes to a close Catherine Brown Staff Writer Cvb5480@lockhaven.edu College is all about educating yourself about the world around you. Students meet new people from all over the country and the world, and have plenty of opportunities to educate themselves. Every semester, the Center for Global Engagement, and often other clubs, sponsor International Education Week with events on campus, and an International Food Week at Upper Bentley. These events include things like speakers,

cultural performances, and informational sessions on Lock Haven’s opportunities to study abroad.

This semester, one of the educational events was “Tea from Around the World,” and featured Earl Gray tea from Nicaragua, Jasmine tea from Japan, Chai tea from India, and green tea from China. While this event is not always included in International Education Week, it seemed to be a popular one.

Food and drink are a big part of culture around the world, and it is one thing that unifies countries. It gives an insight into a big part of a country’s culture. It often reflects a country’s traditions and lifestyles. It’s a simple and tasty way to continue to educate ourselves.

Self-defense classes at LHU Benjamin Ronemus Staff Writer Bjr1324@lockhaven.edu Jeff Ramsey, Chad, and Bobby of Ramsey’s Jujitsu of Lewisburg PA come to Lock Haven University every year to teach selfdefense classes to students. Together, Ramsey, Chad, and Bobby have over 70 years of combined experience in the martial arts.

They have been coming to Lock Haven University and teaching students self-defense every semester for 15 years now.

The self-defense course is offered on five different nights throughout the semester. The most recent course was held on November 11th and was the final course for the fall semester, however, more classes will be offered next semester around February and March.

The class teaches students self-defense for common scenarios that could be encountered on a college campus. Some of these involve breaking out of a grab, choke defense, and removing someone from sitting on your chest. It also focuses on awareness for prevention of assaults.

Ramsey says that the classes are for anyone and that it is a good tool to have. According to Ramsey there are many attacks on college campuses, and these classes give students the opportunity to learn and practice self-defense skills so they can feel safer on campus. Ramsey says that it is good for everyone to have the basic knowledge to prevent and defend from attacks. For more information on the self-defense and other martial arts courses offered by Ramsey’s Jujitsu, visit their Facebook page: Ramsey’s Jujitsu and Arnis.

LIFESTYLES Lessons from the psychoanalysis: stop being so nice Derek Danneker Editor-in-Chief Ddd4907@lockhaven.edu In the age of microaggressions and sensitivity training, people often confuse nice people as also being good. This is not the case. Nice people are harmless, they can’t help but to be nice because the thought of offending another person is terrifying. They aren’t being good, they’re only doing what comes natural to them, which is thinly veiled cowardice.

They’re diversion to conflict is often used against them.

They lack the courage to take hold of their own lives, other people pick up on this, and the lack of control often leads to anxiety and fear. Conflict is a natural part of life, and people’s ability - or lack thereof - to appropriately manage it plays a large part in their success or failure. Whether it be asking for a raise at work, a promotion or just telling a coworker to stop pestering them.

There is a way to remedy this, as taken from the realm of psychoanalysis, specifically from Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung. For Jung, being good is the ability to do something terrible, but choosing not to. The power in knowing that enables people to act forthrightly, with confidence, by incorporating their dark side. The psychoanalysts believe that, for people

Sigmund Freud

to be happy, they should re-incorporate pieces of themselves which were lost or had been repressed.

Friedrich Nietzsche, a philosopher who strongly influenced the psychoanalysts, believed people often ignore parts of themselves which society has deemed immoral or inappropriate, but the feelings only hide in the unconscious. This leads to a rise in resentment, both of themselves, for acting out a lie, and society, for looking on their feelings with disgust.

The psychoanalysts thought by giving nice people appropriate avenues to vent their frustrations or dark inner feelings, they could become happier. For example, a nice person- by all definitions- might never imagine hurting someone. So, a situation which seems to be escalating to that point will lead to this person backing down, or perhaps worse, his resentment builds to a point where he reacts violently when it is not needed. However, if this person takes self-defense classes, then he actively thinks about using violence and this also provides an avenue for his violent thoughts, which he has whether or not he admits to them or not.

As is often the case, learning how to use violence creates behavioral differences which others pick up on, and typically any real violence is unneeded because this person can show he is capable of it. Good people have the ability to say “no,” and forthrightness to back it up. Nice people will be trampled. It’s not good to be nice.

OPINION

Trump is furious after midterm elections Alexis Gallagher

Opinons Editor aag9585@lockhaven.edu The president has been in a furious mood since last week’s election results, according to multiple reports, with the Democratic victories, allied to rumors of fresh indictments by special counsel Robert Mueller, pushing Trump into a “cocoon of bitterness and resentment,” officials told The LA Times.

The President has frequently made claims of massive voter fraud in the United States, despite the fact that all available evidence suggests that it is not a significant problem. In addition, he has stoked conspiracy theories about stolen elections in the wake of Florida’s latest vote counting controversy and has threatened to use the mechanisms of government to investigate Democrats if they investigate him.

But Trump seems to be reacting not to evidence of fraud, but to vote counts that are narrowing the gap between Democratic Senate and gubernatorial candidates Bill Nelson and Andrew Gillum and the presumed Republican victors.

In the latest worrying sign for the President, top Democrat Rep. Jerrold Nadler told Jake Tapper on “State of the Union” that Democrats would examine hush payments to women who allege past affairs with Trump that may infringe campaign finance laws.

“That might very well be an impeachable offense,” Nadler said.

The President already reacted with fury to the notion of a new era of scrutiny from Democrats, promising a “warlike” posture if it took place, and hinted he could use the mechanisms of government to investigate them during a news conference last week.

The President also acted in a way many observers fear raises First Amendment questions by taking the unprecedented step of confiscating Acosta’s permanent White House press pass after he questioned the President on the migrant caravan.

In the days since the midterm elections, Trump has reportedly scrapped meetings and canceled trips — including the traditional presidential visit to Arlington Cemetery for Veterans Day. He has also received negative press coverage about failure to visit American graves during his trip to France to mark the 100th anniversary of World War I. Staff inside the West Wing are trying to avoid the president, The Post reports, with the threat of firings hanging over the heads of even the most senior officials. Trump has already decided to remove Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, according to The New York Times, and is seriously considering replacing his chief of staff John Kelly.

Trump also appears uninterested in fulfilling his presidential duties.

He failed to meet Jordan’s King Abdullah Tuesday, sending Secretary of State Mike Pompeo instead. Trump has also canceled a trip to Colombia and is letting Secretary of Defense James Mattis visit troops on the border alone.

Last week’s vote was a “big victory” for the Republicans, Trump posted publicly on Twitter. Supposedly in private, he is reportedly worried about Democrats gaining control of the House and the investigations they could launch into his administration. He is also brooding about the recount in Florida and key races being called for Democrats.

Trump also spent a testy 43 hours in France, in which French President, Emmanuel Macron, spoke of the dangers of rising nationalism.

Trump took this as a direct attack on him — and lashed out Monday on Twitter.

In his interactions with world leaders over the last week, Trump railed against the perceived injustice against the U.S. over trade imbalances. A report published Wednesday concluding that “China’s technology-manufacturing strength threatens U.S. national security” is unlikely to lift his mood.

It is more difficult to assess whether the President’s actions have already tipped the nation into a constitutional crisis. One veteran observer, Leon Panetta, a former White House chief of staff for Clinton and defense secretary under President Barack Obama, believes the nation’s institutions are standing firm.

“I think ultimately the institutions that our forefathers put in place are strong enough to be able to survive any administration,” Panetta said Thursday on “The Situation Room.”

But the fact that the question is even relevant, assists to the darkening mood in Washington.

76ers: “Trusting the process” going into full effect Mark Matthews

Copy Editor mjm2923@lockhaven.edu It’s a good time to be a Philadelphia 76ers fan right now.

Fireworks recently erupted on Nov.10 when the world received the news that all-star shooting guard Jimmy Butler was being traded to the 76ers.

In the trade, the 76ers sent power forward Dario Saric, small forward Robert Covington, point guard Jerryd Bayless, and a second round pick to the Minnesota Timberwolves for Butler and center Justin Patton.

The trade gives excitement to an already promising, young 76ers team.

In fact, it is giving them a real shot at an NBA Finals appearance. According to an article from USA Today, this trade will shift the 76ers atop the Eastern Conference.

This statement was not even a relevant too long ago. The 76ers a few years ago were discussed as the worst team in the NBA and could even lose to college teams. During the 2015-2016 season, they only won 10 of the 82 games played that season.

It was the clever draft picks incorporated by Philadelphia that saved the team. In the 2014 Draft, the 76ers selected Joel Embiid with the third overall pick. Embiid is the player that started the “Trust the Process” motto.

Embiid was unable to start his first two seasons in the NBA due to lingering injuries and literally had to “Trust the Process.” Once he entered the NBA though, Embiid erupted as the highest scorer in the 76ers team, averaging an impressive 20.2 points per game.

It was also when the 76ers selected Ben Simmons with first overall pick of the 2016 NBA Draft that gave the young team promise. Simmons, like Embiid was unable to start his first season of the NBA, because of injuries. But when he got the shot to enter the NBA he went on a fire, winning Rookie of the Year.

Embiid, Simmons, and the newly added Butler are what many consider after the trade the “Big Three” of the team.

There are also older players on the team that gives the team leadership as well. Players like three-point sharp shooter J.J. Redick and forward Wilson Chandler. There are rumors that former all-star Carmelo Anthony could join the 76ers team after it was reported that he will likely get released by the Houston Rockets. That would be an interesting signing if that is the case. Our team does need a starting power forward to replace Saric, so that would make sense. Older players are the ideal approach to our team.

Personally, I’ve been a 76ers fan since first starting to watch in 2009 and been through the ups-and-downs. But the wait is worth it now with the team we’ve got now; showing potentials to contend for a championship.

Philadelphia is elevating right now.

Football caps season with win, holds off Gannon in snow-covered thriller Doug Spatafore

Sports Information Director dpatafo@lockhaven.edu ERIE, Pa. – Redshirt-senior quarterback Cameron Tobias (Centre Hall, Pa./Penns Valley) saved the best game of his Bald Eagle career for last and his heroics led the offense, as the Lock Haven University football team (2-9) closed the season with a thrilling, 50-48, victory over host Gannon (2-9). Tobias and the Bald Eagles overcame a snow-covered field and a late-Gannon push to secure their season-ending victory, the Bald Eagles second win of the 2018 season.

Heavy snow delayed the start of the game an hour and the field remained snow-covered throughout as the snow continued to fall – heavy at times – for much of the game, but it - along with cold and windy temperatures - never slowed either offensive unit. Lock Haven and Gannon combined for 98 points and 1,093 total yards of offense.

Tobias threw for 363 yards and the Bald Eagles rushed for 207. Gannon rushed for 453 yards thanks to 410 yards on the ground from running back Marcus Jones. Jones rushed for seven touchdowns.

Tobias was masterful in his final game as a Bald Eagle. He was 21 of 36 with five TDs and one interception. Tobias’ top-target today was sophomore tight end Jalen Jackson (Williamsport, Pa./ Williamsport), who had a career-day as well. Jackson finished with eight catches for 136 yards and three touchdowns.

Despite the snow, Haven running back Ralph Hyland (Philadelphia/Frankford) ran for 119 yards on 13 carries and one of his runs went for a 7-yard TD. Both Bryan Greene (Milesburg, Pa./ Bald Eagle) and Chantz Swartz (Mifflintown, Pa./Juniata H.S.) hauled in TD-catches. Swartz also rushed for one score.

Much like they’ve done for most of the season, linebacker Obadiah Asare (Upper Darby, Pa./Upper Darby) and defensive back Dontae Mason (Philadelphia/Bishop McDevitt) led the way for the Bald Eagles on the defensive side. The duo played a major role in keeping Lock Haven in the game and helped hold off a late Gannon charge, as the Golden Knights scored 12 points, thanks to two Jones TD runs just 1:26 apart late in the fourth quarter.

Asare finished with a game-high 15 tackles. He made 12 solo stops and added two tackles-for-loss. Asare finished the 2018 season with 19.5 tackles-for-loss which established a new record for TFLs in a single-season. The sophomore now has 22.5 tacklesfor-loss in just two season, which ranks him in a tie for ninth all-

time in school history.

Mason finished with 10 tackles (six solo) and a forced fumble.

Lock Haven took the opening drive right down the field and scored after Greene hauled in a 9-yard TD pass from Tobias to cap a 6-play, 73-yard drive. LHU’s extra point attempt failed and despite the early lead, Gannon went right down the field on its first offensive play and scored. Less than three minutes into the game, which looked to be slowed because of the conditions, host-Gannon led, 7-6.

From there, the offensive units for both teams headlined the show.

With Lock Haven trailing 14-6, Jackson caught his first of three TDs and LHU tied the game at 14-14 with 5:23 left in the first period.

Early in the second, Jones scored on a 33-yarder and made it 20-14 Gannon, but it was all Lock Haven for the remainder of the first half, as the Bald Eagles scored three straight touchdowns and took a 35-20 lead into the break.

With 11:48 left in the fourth, Swartz scored on a 7-yard run to extend the Bald Eagles lead to 50-36.

Jones and Gannon struck twice in the fourth, but the Bald Eagles held strong and secured the huge season-ending win.

LHU finished the season at 2-9 overall after the Bald Eagles went 1-5 in Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) East action. The win marked head coach Dave Taynor’s first against a PSAC West opponent and Lock Haven’s first win against a Western-Division team since the 2007 season-finale at Clarion.

Prestige Wins Championship Thriller

SPORTS

Lucas Lenze

Guest Writer lwl5866@lockhaven.edu Monday night brought a close to the intramural basketball season. The championship game was played between Prestige Worldwide and Rick. Prestige rolled through the playoffs without having much competition, until the championship game. Rick was also riding a wave of momentum, after upsetting the number two and three teams in the playoffs.

The game was a back and forth affair the entire time. Prestige jumped out to an early lead, but Rick rallied right back to make it close again. The game was full of energy from beginning to end. At one point Prestige went up by as many as 11 late in the second half.

Rick started to catch fire from behind the 3-point line and pulled all the way back to tie the game. Foul trouble got to Rick late in the game.

The final minute was full of fouls with players trying to help Rick secure possessions and catch their opponents. It wasn’t enough Prestige hit their final six free throws and sealed the game. They went on to win by a score of 72-63. The high point guys for the night were Greg Johnson with a game high 24 points, and for Rick, Marcus Williams was the high point man dropping in 18 on the night.

The season isn’t quite over yet. Be on the lookout for news

Women’s Basketball drops nailbiter to Fairmont State Doug Spatafore

Sports Information Director dpatafo@lockhaven.edu FAIRMONT, W.Va. - The Lock Haven University women’s basketball team (1-1) dropped a tough game to tournament host Fairmont State (1-1) 86-79 in their second game of the MEC/PSAC Challenge on Saturday afternoon in West Virginia.

The game was tied at 63 going into the fourth and final quarter, but the Fighting Falcons were able to outscore the Bald Eagles 23-16 in the final frame to pull ahead and get the win.

Offensively, LHU was led by Bink Redman (York, Pa./William Penn) and Rileigh Devine (Etters, Pa./Red Land) as they each tallied 17 points in the game. Redman finished 7-12 from the field to go along with six rebounds, three assists and two steals.

Devine finished 5-12 from the field with all of her shots coming from three-point range to go along with five rebounds and two assists.

Jordyn Kloster (Manchester, Pa./Millersville) and Ahnera Parker (Lancaster, Pa./J.P. McCaskey) rounded out four Bald Eagles that

scored in double figures. Both Kloster and Parker finsished with 11 points with Parker grabbing nine rebounds and Kloster grabbing five.

Freshman Taylor Leidy (Alexandria, Pa./ Juniata Valley) played a strong, all-around game for LHU, finishing with seven points, seven rebounds and five assists.

As a team, Lock Haven outrebounded Fairmont State 51-33 as the Haven had an 18-4 advantage on the offensive glass.
