Legacy of sacrifice lives on at Richland

Staff Writer The skies were gray and a cold breeze swept through campus as students and veterans alike stood along Lake Thunderduck near Fannin Hall for a special Veteran’s Day event. It was the commemoration of the centennial of the armistice that ended World War I on Nov. 11, 1918. The ceremony at Richland on Nov. 12 coincided with the installation of a plaque and new ceramic poppies as part of “The Blood of Heroes Never Dies” art installation.

Organized by Richland history professor Dr. Clive Siegle and art faculty member Jen Rose, the event served as a platform for students to learn more about the significance of the poppy during Remembrance Day. Siegle and Rose shared their thoughts with the audience. Rose explained how the project began in 2015, and that the Richland project inspired the city of Georgetown to start a similar project in their town. Siegle detailed the origins of Remembrance Day and how the poppy became its symbol. Afterward, the Richland choir performed “America the Beautiful” as the guest veterans placed new ceramic poppies by the lake and gave their respects to those involved in historical combat.

Since its initial installation, Siegle, Rose and the Richland community have commemorated the 5,171 Texas soldiers who were deployed from 1917 to 1918 by President Woodrow Wilson by recognizing their service, sacrifice and bravery during The Great War (1914-18), which later became known as World War I. The event draws heavily from Remembrance Day, which takes place on Nov. 11 in the Commonwealth of Nations (formerly referred to as the British Empire).

Siegle explained how the poppy inspired the art installation.

“The poppy is becoming a lost symbol here in America. The poem on which the holiday is based upon originally came from America by a Canadian poet. Now only European countries know what the poppies mean,” Siegle said.

“Just like the actual holiday, the event centers on the symbolism of the poppy flower, in direct reference to John McCrae’s 1918 poem, ‘In Flanders Field,’ which famously depicts an abandoned battlefield swarmed by poppies.”

During Remembrance Day, each poppy represents a soldier lost in combat. The Richland founders adopted the custom by creating ceramic poppies with the help of many passionate volunteers. The ambitious project has given students a new perspective on the impact of WWI. Rose shared some feedback she received as a result of the project.

“When working with the poppies, students said that they felt happy. It allowed [the project coordinators] to bridge many people from different backgrounds, religions and cultures, especially now during this current political climate,” Rose said.

The great war was meant to be “The War to End All Wars,” a phrase attributed to British author H.G. Wells. Around the globe, nations took sides and carried arms, as soldiers valiantly marched toward the battlefields filled with pride and the duty to serve. Unaware of the horrors that awaited deep in the muddy trenches of the western and eastern fronts, soldiers faced numerous perils throughout the four-year war.

By the end, new nations arose while others disintegrated, soldiers became physically and mentally scarred and the development of new technologies contributed to high casualty numbers. Roughly 10 million soldiers lost their lives fighting for their flag, their country and their ideals. “The Blood of Heroes Never Dies” honors those lives.

Saving the planet could save you money Staff Writer Protecting the environment and making money are usually thought of as mutually exclusive.

You can either make money or you can help the environment. But what if you could do both?

The 2018 Dallas Community College District (DCCCD) Sustainability Summit explored that option at Richland College. This year’s summit made going green more attractive than ever.

Kevin Wilhelm, CEO of Sustainable Business Consulting, inspired students and faculty during the lunch session at the event on Nov. 9. He explained how protecting the environment can put more green in consumers’ wallets.

“My firm works [with] a lot of different businesses on how to incorporate the U.N. sustainability development goals into their Staff Photo Mirco Daniel Mbega Ndoumou business operations, but also how to do it from a profitability standpoint,” Wilhelm said.

Richland strives for excellence when it comes to protecting the environment.

Wilhelm praised Richland for its achievements in sustainability.

“What separates Richland is the way that they’ve not only incorporated sustainability on campus in terms of their general facility operations, which is what a lot of organizations do, but reaching out with their partnerships in the community, using their outdoor living labs and classrooms to engage their students and also doing things like becoming a part of Tree Campus USA,” Wilhelm said.

“They found a way to actually make the campus more sustainable while making it more beautiful at the same time. And I think just being in the area of the greater Dallas Metroplex [Richland] really stands out as a college that really stands behind what they claim about sustainability.”

Richland is a leader in sustainability, not only in the Dallas area, but in the country. Last year Richland became the first college in the Metroplex to earn the Gold Level Green Business Certification.

Richland continues to pursue the sustainability goals suggested by the United Nations, especially goal No.17: establishing partnerships.

Thunderducks win nationals: We ar Women Triumph Kammonke Obase-Wotta Managing Editor

Award-winning film scores may abound, but none could be as dramatic as the sound of the final whistle on Nov. 11 at Wedgbury Stadium in Loves Park, Ill. The Richland women’s soccer team edged Delta College from Michigan 1-0 to win the national championship.

Richland took the lead with a rifle from about 30 yards out. A befitting lead for a special occassion.

“When I scored the goal in the final, I was kind of in shock,” forward, Eva Mulligan said.

Twenty-seven minutes into the first half, defender Miranda Ibarra, drove through the Delta midfield before laying it off for a teammate. Mulligan took a deft touch beyond her defender and rifled a bullet into the net.

“It was very exciting to get a goal that meant a lot for our team. It took a lot of stress off of us. When I realized I scored, it was kind of overwhelming.”

“We were trying to figure out why she [Mulligan] didn’t score more goals during the year. I think a lot of it is confidence. I think early on she didn’t want to take the set-pieces because she didn’t want to be the one who messed it up and same thing with finishing; I think she was more concerned about passing the ball,” said women’s soccer coach Scott Toups.

“As the season went on, she got more and more confident. You could see it in her play, she got better and better and all of a sudden, she started shooting and realized she could score goals. For her, I think it’s a confidence thing. She got more confident, she got better.”

Mulligan ended the season with nine goals and five assists. She wasn’t a frequent name on the score sheet at the beginning of the season,

but as it wore on, her influence on the team grew. Five of her nine goals came in the last four games.

The road to the finals was relatively easy for Richland. They breezed past Holyoke in the quarterfinals with a 9-0 win.

The semifinal was more of the same.

Inclement weather and a frozen field required the game to be moved indoors, but that didn’t deter the Thunderducks. They beat Brookdale 5-1.

The final was where Richland faced its biggest test yet and for the first 45 minutes, Richland looked to be the better side. They threatened, but goals weren’t forthcoming.

“It was just unfortunate we didn’t get a second goal. It went off the cross bar early on, we missed a couple that most of the time we would have scored. Their goal keeper made some really nice saves. Behind Dynastee [Cain], she was the best goalkeeper at the tournament,” said Toups.

An ankle injury sustained by Citlali Gonzalez forced a change in tactic midway through the first half.

“So, we ended up pulling her off and instead of replacing her with another defender off the bench, we moved one of our center midfielders, Cloe, to the back. And that changed the dynamic of the game. We lost control of the midfield, they gained more possession and gave us more trouble,” Toups said.

“I think part of it was they were stronger [than previous opponents] and part of it was, I think, we were just not there,” Ibarra said. “In our heads, some of us had already thought we won, so we were a little bit more relaxed when we shouldn’t have been.”

Ibarra was awarded the Most Valuable Player (MVP) of the tournament for her display. She was part of a defense that kept a clean sheet in two out of the three games.

“I think I worked pretty hard this season and I was focused as much as I could’ve been in those three games,” Ibarra said.

Coaches from all the schools who participate in the nationals vote for the MVP. Ibarra was shocked that she garnered attention.

“I feel like in the back I didn’t get to play very much. So, I was kind of confused how my abilities were shown [and] how they could notice me. I was very surprised,” Ibarra said.

“I think it’s one of the best seasons I’ve had throughout my soccer career. Had a couple losses, but overall, I like the girls, I like the coaching and some games were not that challenging, but I still had fun.”

Ibarra’s teammates, Mulligan and Cain took Offensive and Defensive MVP honors respectively.

The win was the Richland women’s soccer fourth national championship. The team had its last national championship win in 2014.

“We went [to the nationals] with that result in mind and that’s how we left, with what we wanted to accomplish,” Toups said.

re the champions, (again) my friends T-Ducks win no. 7 Kammonke Obase-Wotta

Carlos Valdez, center celebrates Richland’s victory over Nassau in the championship game in Herkimer, New York, Nov. 11.

The equalizer swung the momentum in Richland’s favor. A barrage of Richland forwards attacked the Nassau defense relentlessly. Nassau’s players were resolute but couldn’t hold on for long.

Twenty-three minutes later, a Nassau defender impeded the run of Richland’s Carlos Valdez at the edge of the box. Alvaro Rodriguez took the resulting set-piece and Martinez, who had been the talisman for extended periods during the game, connected with the ball to head in the winner.

“It was my first header in the whole season.

I got the goal, it was a play that we planned before the game and it worked,” Martinez said. “From the start of the game we knew it was going to be ours but we had to go and prove it to them.”

Richland’s second goal was a dagger in the heart of the Lions, but that didn’t stop the onslaught. Richland went on a rampage.

Richland goalkeeper Pablo Cubas hit a punt across the field, splitting the Nassau backline.

Sesay ran onto the ball. His blistering pace was too much for the trailing defenders and, with the Nassau keeper closing in, he chipped the ball into goal.

Martinez, Sesay and Demario Cameron scored afterwards to round out a comprehensive win.

Sesay was crowned the Most Valuable Player of the tournament. He scored five goals

and assisted one over three games played in the nationals.

“I was expecting Lucio to win the MVP. Maybe it’s the overall tournament, because I scored the highest goals overall [in] the tournament,” Sesay said. “It’s a great memory. In the next two years or three years you [will] always have that flashback.”

Sesay alongside Fazio and Martinez were named on the All-Tournament team.

Worley was named coach of the tournament.

“It feels great, because last year we had a great game against Genesee. We were on the losing side. [Three] years before in 2015, Nassau knocked us out in the semifinal in overtime. So that was definitely in the back of our mind and so we conveyed that to our kids,” Worley said in a post-game interview.

“Last year was a good learning experience and the second half, we just stepped up. We knew they [Nassau] could not keep up with us for 90 minutes. At crunch time, we put it in and that’s what it’s all about,” Worley said.

Moments after the Richland men’s team had clinched its national title, over 850 miles away at Wedgbury Stadium in Loves Park, Ill., 85 miles northwest of Chicago, Richland women’s team was on its way to etching its name in history.

Richland men’s soccer players, gathered, in the bus after their win, sheltered from the unforgiving New York cold, and watched the

final moments of the women’s final through the small screen of a phone.

The whole bus frantic in anticipation hit a rapturous chorus, they counted down the final seconds of the game, “5, 4, 3, 2, 1!” It was double the victory, double the celebration.

The win capped a historic double championship for Richland College.

Richland’s Lucio Martinez leaps to get past Nassau’s goalkeeper.

Managing Editor With the pain of last year’s finals defeat entrenched in the memories of many of the players, the Richland men’s soccer team went into the national championship game against Nassau with a point to prove. After conceding an early goal, the Richland Thunderducks rallied back in Herkimer, New York, to stake an emphatic 6-1 victory over the Nassau Lions.

Richland forward, James Sesay fell to his knees, overcome with emotion. Teardrops trickled down his face as the full-time whistle sounded. One after another, his teammates came to congratulate him.

“I was crying. I finally accomplished something that I was striving for since last year. I cried because I just had a flashback since the first of August last year. I started thinking about how I went through all those moments and finally we achieved what we were struggling for. It was a great moment,” Sesay said.

The moment was a year in the making.

On Nov 11, 2017- Richland men’s soccer team fell flat in their quest to notch back-toback championships at the hands of Genesee College. Sesay scored the lone goal for Richland, but it wasn’t enough. Genesee scored two goals with no reply to deny Richland hardware. With the result came a moment of sullen reflection.

This year was a stark contrast.

Six minutes into the first half, Nassau’s Jean Paul Rodriguez was played down the left flank. He ran onto the ball and whipped a cross into the penalty box. Richland’s Mariano Fazio scuffed his clearance and Jamie Quiroz reacted swiftly to place it beyond the keeper’s reach.

Richland pressed the Nassau defense. On two occasions Sesay was through with only the keeper to beat. Extra touches and a rashness in front of the goal left Sesay and Richland ruing missed opportunities. The Lions held on for the next 39 minutes, taking a 1-0 lead into the half time break.

“My head coach, Sean Worley, said something to me [and] everything about me changed during the second half. Last year they [Genesee] took something that belongs to you. What [are] you going to do about it?,” Sesay said. “Once [Worley] said that to me, it changed everything in me.”

Three minutes into the second half, a Nassau defender fouled Richland’s Toi Yamaoka, giving Richland a set piece opportunity.

Richland’s Lucio Martinez swung a curling free kick into the penalty box and Fazio towered above the Nassau defense to head in the equalizer.

“We work on set pieces a lot and I knew that free kick was going to be a crucial part of the game. I know my backline and I knew one of them was going to be in there,” said Martinez in a post-game interview with NJCAA commentator, Josh Braun.

Carmen Rivero, 28, found a way to use math and science to help the disabled. Rivero has an associate degree in science from Richland and is working toward another in biomedical engineering. She plans to transfer to the University of Texas at Dallas in the future. She found her calling through volunteer work.

“I really want to get into any field that can utilize skills with math and science to really benefit the quality of life for people in general,” Rivero said.

In addition to taking calculus and computer programming classes, Rivero works as a volunteer coordinator with the CARDboard Project, a non-profit organization in partnership with Richland, Amazon, the State Fair of Texas and others.

This semester, Rivero is volunteering with the Cornerstone Kitchen. She’s there from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Thursdays. Next semester she plans to be there two days a week.

Armando Cantu is the executive director of the organization. “[Cantu] is pretty much teaching people to fish, as opposed to giving them fish,” Rivero said. “A huge demographic we serve is people with disabilities. You’d be surprised how eager they are to work for the State Fair because it really fits in with their limitations on how much income they can bring in.”

Rivero said she found time to volunteer even when she was busy at school.

“Cornerstone Kitchen serves about 300 homeless or at-risk people daily,” Rivero said.

“These people don’t have a computer or access to one.

There are computers and help available from Rivero and others to help clients stay in touch with family members, apply for jobs, food or shelter services at the kitchen.

Rivero said Cornerstone offers services to homeless men and women between the ages of mid-30s to 60s, but few children. From, 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. seven days a week, volunteers serve lunch.

There are no facilities to spend the night.

People can take showers once a week. In addition, there’s a medical clinic. A doctor or a physical assistant comes in once a month to serve the public at the kitchen.

Rivero shared a story about a homeless man named Wendell who drifted into the Cornerstone Kitchen one day and said he needed to find shelter and then disappeared.

Little did he know that his sister, who lives in Georgia, was searching for him to tell him that his mother was in hospice care and wasn’t expected to live much longer. She wanted to see Wendell before she died.

Rivero helped locate Wendell by going to other shelters with his picture and eventually found him.

He was struggling with substance abuse, however, and told her he wanted “to clean up before seeing his mother.”

“Had we not had that connection with her [the sister] that possibility wouldn’t have existed,” Rivero said. “I was just open to just being there for somebody else.”

Later, Rivero found out that Wendell had a degree from DeVry University and was formerly a computer engineer. Richland students with basic computer and internet skills who are interested in volunteering with the Cornerstone Kitchen can email Rivero at volunteer@cardboardproject.org. “It can literally open up someone’s world to a tremendous amount of possibilities,” Rivero said.

Stan Lee: A remembrance

he’s the old man who makes cameo appearStaff Writer ances in the Marvel films and TV shows.

Lee’s real name was Stanley Martin Lieber.

Legendary comic book writer Stan Lee has He was the creator of numerous comic died. He passed away at the age of 95 on Nov. 12. For readers who are not familiar with Lee, book superheroes including The Fantastic Four, Spider-Man, X-men, The Avengers, Iron Man, Hulk, Black Panther, Ant-Man and many others. Lee was an icon in the comic book world. His favorite phrase was “With great power comes great responsibility.” The words empowered fictional superheroes and his fans. Lee brought diversity to the comic book world through his superheroes and supervillains. Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko created some of the other Marvel characters. Among them, Captain America, Venom, Thanos, The Falcon, Jessica Jones, Power Man, Luke Cage and Iron Fist.

In the late 1930s, Timely Comics was unknown. They became Marvel Comics in the 1960s. Timely’s biggest rival was National Comics Publications (NCP), which became DC Comics in the 1970s. Back then, people were more interested in reading about Superman and Batman.

Lee joined Timely Comics in 1939 at 17 and over time went on to become editor-in-chief to Photo illustration courtesy Tom DiGarzia Marvel figures

a dwindling comic book audience. In the early 1960s, Marvel went bankrupt and Lee thought about ending his comic book career.

NCP’s comic books, The Flash and the Justice League of America, were hitting the charts while Timely Comics were having a hard time.

Two things saved his career: his wife, Joan Boocock Lee, and the Fantastic Four. His wife gave him the idea to create the Fantastic Four and Lee got illustrations from his friend Kirby.

The release of “The Fantastic Four” in 1961 brought new life to Timely Comics and saved Lee’s career.

Former Richland student and comic book fan Henry Pham is a huge fan of Lee’s.

“Stan Lee was the main comic book writer the whole world has looked up to,” Pham said. “People who love comic books have aged happily with these superheroes, including Spider-Man. The comic books have taught people strength, power and responsibility that people need to encounter the conflict and events of our world.”

Lee wanted his comic book characters to have human characteristics because we all understand that humans make mistakes and learn from them. We are not perfect in our lives. Lee wanted us to understand what a superhero can do as a normal human being.

Lee is my inspiration to become a filmmaker.

My favorite Lee superheroes are Spider-Man and Daredevil. If it was not for Lee, comic books may have died. In my opinion, his legacy is equal to the great Walt Disney.

Thank you, Stan Lee. May you rest in peace.

It will, it will rock you Ricky Miller

Entertainment Editor For the first time in a long while, I actually got goosebumps. No, not that mediocre Jack Black flick of the same name from a couple of years back, rather the feeling when something goes through your body and one feels in tune.

I’ve said in the past that I am not fond of too many musicals, but I was actually looking forward to seeing what director Bryan Singer would do with the Queen biopic “Bohemian Rhapsody.”

As with my dislike of horror flicks and love for anything related to John Carpenter, this one gets a pass in my book. I’m a devotee of Queen and their amazing music.

For starters, lead Rami Malek emulates the late Freddie Mercury perfectly. If you think you’ve seen Malek before, you’re probably right. He was on the Golden Globe-winning “Mr. Robot” on USA Network the past couple of seasons. Supporter Christian Slater won an Emmy for his role as friend and confidant, the “Mr. Robot” title character.

I trust the director here. Singer has not made too many bad movies. Early on in his career, he helmed one of the greatest pretzel-twisting mystery suspense films, “The Usual Suspects.” That was early in Singer’s career, 1995 to be exact. With “Bohemian

Rhapsody,” Singer delves head on into the band’s creation with Malek’s screen persona legally changing his name to Freddie Mercury to get noticed more by the press and mass media. One also has to realize this was in the pre-cell phone days and when being featured on TV music shows was a very big deal. The one thing I really noticed was that the film did not reference Queen’s contributions to movie soundtracks. The first was “Flash Gordon” in 1980 directed by British auteur Mike Hodges.

The band also contributed to Sidney J. Furie’s “Iron Eagle” in 1985. The group would gain more notoriety the following year for creating the soundtrack to director Russell Mulcahy’s action-fantasy-hybrid “Highlander.”

In “Bohemian Rhapsody,” there is a brief scene that uses a track from “Highlander,” the one that includes the song “Who wants to Live Forever?” from the movie.

Irony is thrown into the movie big time with the appearance of Mike Myers. In the early 1990s, Myers starred in the film “Wayne’s World.” His character of Wayne hosted the public access TV show of the same name,“Wayne’s World.”

Wayne and his best friend, Garth (Dana Carvey), rock out to the song “Bohemian Rhapsody.”

In the film “Bohemian Rhapsody,” Myers plays record producer Ray Foster who scoffs

at the idea of even recording the song as a stand-alone track. He would later regret it, because even though the song runs over six minutes, it is still popular to this day.

“Bohemian Rhapsody” delivers in every single department. Even the backstory doesn’t take too much away.
