The early voting line in front of Richland’s Guadalupe Hall required an estimated wait time of 90 minutes on Oct. 13.

Early voting started off with a bang Oct. 13 with a record 59,809 turning up to cast their ballots in Dallas County. Of these, the highest turnout was among 55-64 years of age and lowest among those 18-24. Tarrant County was not far behind Dallas County with 42,428 visiting its polls. Statewide, 765,560 people turned out on the first day of early voting.

Jonathan Wingo, Dallas County election clerk for Dallas College Richland Campus said the college poll location in Guadalupe Hall was doing a brisk business.

“There were people here before 7 a.m. when we opened. People have been really eager. So far the line has stayed under 90 minutes, which is great. We have a lot of folks here working the polls and everyone outside has been just wonderful – a delight. We’ve had great weather too, which helps,” he said.

Wingo said they have 19-20 machines, with two-to-three check-in persons and 16 others who are working the Richland campus polls and had been averaging around 60 voters per hour.

“The judge this year said we’re expecting a larger turnout, which we’re excited to see. It’s is great to have folks come out and vote.”

Early voting continues through Oct. 30.

Election Day is Nov. 3. For more information about this and other voting locations, go to dallascountyvotes.org.

GOP gives nominee their ‘rubber stamp’ of approval

RichlandStudentMedia.com

Dave Freeman Staff Writer The confirmation of Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett is moving full steam ahead in the Senate with a full vote scheduled for Oct. 22. With just two weeks until Election Day, the Senate has made Barrett’s confirmation a priority, even amid a pandemic and an economic depression.

This is in stark contrast to the rules prescribed for an election year by the Republican-controlled Senate in 2016 that blocked former President Barack Obama’s Supreme Court nominee Merrick Garland after the sudden death of Justice Antonin Scalia.

Just days after Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s passing, Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., touted the pre-approved nominee as “having the votes” before Barrett’s nomination was announced publicly. Inevitably, Barrett will be confirmed in the Senate.

Barrett is a 48-year-old mother of seven from New Orleans. She graduated from the Notre Dame School of Law in 1997, worked as a law clerk in the D.C. Court of Appeals and then the Supreme Court for Scalia until 1999.

According to The Associated Press, Barrett moved into private practice until 2002 during

which time she worked on the contested Gore v. Bush election case that threw out that year’s presidential election results.

After 2002, Barrett returned to Notre Dame as a professor where she taught prior to being nominated to the 7th District Court of Appeals by President Trump in 2017.

Barrett’s answers to the senators questions led to some very concerning responses, or lack thereof, in some cases. Sen. Ben Sasse, a Republican from Nebraska, asked Barrett about the First Amendment. She struggled, only to name “Speech, the press, religion, and assembly,” according to AP. The senator then casually reminded her of “redress and protest.”

Having a blank notebook as your notes during a senate confirmation wasn’t really the best idea looking back. However, they are not concerned with the optics this brings. They’re going to vote for her regardless.

When questioned about climate change by Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif. and Joe Biden’s vice presidential running mate in the Nov. 3 election, Barrett framed the “acknowledgment of manmade climate change as a matter of policy, not science.” When pressed by Harris, Barrett commented that “on a very

contentious matter of public debate, and I will not do that.”

Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, said he understands Democrats’ “disappointment.” He said, “Their loss is the American people’s gain.”

We Americans could be “gaining” a very inexperienced judge, with only a few years on the bench. She’s still learning how to be a judge, and the Supreme Court is not the place to do that. She can’t even recall the First Amendment with her cavalier, no notes-approach.

That’s sloppy. It demonstrates that she did not prepare for the most significant job interview of her life. If she can’t prepare for this, how can she prepare for hearing cases in the highest court in the land?

With a record hurricane season this and rising sea levels, especially in her home state of Louisiana, the last thing we need is a lifetime appointment of a Supreme Court justice that debates climate change and whose decisions could affect the entire planet.

Tornado anniversary reveals rubble, ruin in North Dallas Ritchie Manalastas / Dara Jones Staff Writer / Editor-in-Chief A year after a series of tornados swept through North Dallas, recovery efforts are still underway.

While some commercial and private property has been rebuilt, piles of rubble still remain. The National Weather Service confirmed that 10 tornadoes hit North Dallas on Oct. 20, 2019. The twister skirted the Richland campus but made a direct hit on the nearby neighborhood.

Janice Fallin is a communications programs administrative assistant at Richland. The storm put a tree through the roof of her condominium.

“I think I miss the trees more than I miss my roof. I loved that tree,” Fallin said.

Fortunately, her brother and sister-in-law helped her out until the power was restored a week later but things are still not back to normal.

The roof and ceiling over her master bedroom

have not been replaced and her Home Owner’s Association is in arbitration with the insurance company.

“We’re to hear on the 20th about the status of the arbitration and beginning repairs, she said.

Fallin also sustained some post traumatic stress due to the twister.

“I’ve wondered in the past how people who have survived terrible events handle seeing fictional simulations in movies. Little did I know I would find out by surviving a tornado,” Fallin said.

“Any time there is bad weather I get anxious. Even one of my cats is still scared of thunder. One clap and she is in hiding until the storm passes. She remembers like I do what it was like that wild and scary night last October.”

A few miles away near the intersection of Preston Road and Royal Lane, the North Dallas Chamber of Commerce office sits quietly beneath a shattered

sign still surrounded by a construction fence. Chief Operating Officer Jeff Kitner said it may be several years before the repairs are completed.

“We were hoping for some FEMA money. Not just for the Chamber, but for the entire city, as we tried to recover from this. But unfortunately that didn’t happen,” he said.

The nearby shopping center has also struggled with rebuilding and renovations as store owners struggle to stay in business or close their doors completely.

“It’ll probably take several years to get back to where it was and we’re and we’re not even sure, you know, what we will do in the long term,” Kitner said.

Not to be stopped by the tornado or the pandemic, the Chamber is continuing to present political forums to their membership and the public prior to Election Day. Richland Student

Media has partnered with the North Dallas Chamber on several projects.

“In February, during the primaries, we hosted several candidate forums at Chamber board member and partner organization offices and y’all did a live stream from there. Now that is on hold due to COVID,” he said.

Kitner says that the staff had been working remotely since the storm and because they were already doing that when the COVID crisis began, it was a fairly easy transition.

“The chamber is not about a building. We need to have a place where we can congregate and meet people, but we’re not about the building,” Kitner said. “We’re about serving the communities, making Dallas a better place to live, work, build a business, and raise a family. And we can do that.

We can do that with a building or without a building.”

The excitement and tension of the presidential race, the debates and town hall meetings have citizens more than ready to put in their votes for the The excitement and tension of the presidential race, the debates and town hall meetings have citizens more than ready to put in their votes for the 2020 election. The campaigns have been sampling the public, taking surveys and trying to project their opinions on various issues.

Dr. Ray Sandoval, a government professor at Richland and former political consultant, met with Student Media for the Journalism Speaker Series to discuss polling, sampling and the analytics involved in predicting public opinion.

“Every day you’re bombarded with polling of some kind. Usually people are wanting you to do this and that, but basically what we are trying to do with polling is predict. We are using a snapshot in time to predict people’s behaviors and their thoughts,” Sandoval said. “Now we don’t say this.

Instead, we say we are trying to capture people’s opinions. The reason we want to capture people’s opinions is because we want to predict their behaviors.”

Sandoval went on to say pollsters care less about people’s thoughts and

opinions at point A and instead want to be able to predict what will happen after point A. “There is a danger of looking at snapshots because we tend to over-exaggerate and ignore facts,” he said.

Sandoval cited the 2016 election in which

Hillary Clinton had maintained a lead over Donald Trump throughout the summer and into the fall before the election. He said there were problems with the Democratic polls because they oversampled college graduates.

“The samples that were taken were over-sampling

education. Why was that occurring? Because people in college tend to answer surveys. If you graduate, you answer surveys. If you’re in college, you answer surveys. People who are not in college tend not to answer surveys,” he said.

Sandoval noted that the sampling errors in 2016 have since been corrected.

He continued the interview by touching on how polls can sometimes be used a weapon.

“I can create a poll that meets all of the requirements of polling and probability sampling but yet that poll is going to have a bias built in which I don’t necessarily have to divulge,” he said.

Sandoval went on to say that polls can also measure the intensity of public opinion. He said failure to gauge the intensity of support for Clinton was another factor as to why she lost in 2016.

“Hillary was ahead today in 2016 but the intensity, the fervor of her followers was not as intense as it was for Donald Trump. Donald Trump’s intensity of people who said they were going to vote for Trump was very high. Hillary’s support was sort of medium,” he said.

Sandoval said when issues broke closer to Election Day, some of her supporters fled in critical states, including Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin. Although she won the popular vote, she lost critical Electoral College votes in those states and didn’t make up anyplace else.

Take a walk into the abyss while watching ‘Antebellum’ Ricky Miller

Entertainment Editor “Antebellum,” written and directed by first-time feature filmmakers Gerard Bush and Christopher Renz, weaves a fascinating tableau that intrigues, but does not give away too much. They do not, however, take their time in setting up the rules of this alternative “Twilight Zone” universe. Instead, they thrust viewers into the abyss of this confusing and meandering tale with plot twists aplenty.

For the record, “Antebellum” has nothing to do with Jordan Peele, the writer-director of the thriller “Get Out.” Peele took home a screenwriting Academy Award for that one and received big bonus points from me for its ingenuity.

Bush and Renz throw in a plethora of McGuffins with “Antebellum,” in which modern day technology is used to splice together Civil War themes with the mores of yesteryear.

Lead actress Janelle Monáe (“The Glorias”) plays Veronica Henley, a best-selling author and proponent of the women’s movement.

She undergoes a change when she is

kidnapped and forced to live in a post-Civil War environment.

“Antebellum” has just enough twists and turns to keep one’s interest throughout. I don’t like reviewing horror movies, but Bush and Renz are on my radar to watch for future productions.

This is a definite “must see” for the movie house experience. I wish I could have seen it at the theater, but times have a changed.

Watching it at home was a tough pill to swallow.

My last theater experiences were watching “The Hunt” and “Birds of Prey: And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn.”

This review has come to the point where I can tell you no more. I would be doing viewers a disservice by giving away too many “Easter eggs” about the events that occur on screen. “Antebellum” is like a chapter in the Marvel universe, wherein, if I give too much away, the bad people will come and find me.

Even though more titles are forthcoming this year, it is safe to put “Antebellum” on my list of 10 best for the year.

Eddie Van Halen plays the final chord to “Jump” during a 2004 concert in New Jersey.

Remembering Eddie Van Halen Damon Craig

Online/Special Projects It is with heavy hearts the music world bids farewell to hard rock legend Eddie Van Halen who died after a long and tumultuous battle with throat cancer at 65.

Born Edward Lodewijk Van Halen to a Dutch father and Indonesian mother, he and his brother Alex Arthur Van Halen co-founded the iconic rock band Van Halen in 1972. The group remains one of the most influential bands in rock history. As a musician, Eddie Van Halen was known for his virtuosic skill. He was a master of the guitar, displaying a profound mix of powerful, highenergy rhythms and blazing fast melodies that showcased his masterful technique.

“He influenced me quite a bit,” says Kevin Morrison, a guitar major at Richland College.

“When I first discovered Eddie as a kid, I thought to myself how impossible it would be to play like him. I could never learn any of his songs growing up, but he really changed the shred world by pushing that genre to new melodic heights. I don’t play in that style particularly, but his lines are godly.”

News of his death has been widespread and his loss felt locally and internationally, as was the case with Yoshiyuki “Charlie” Hatakeyama-san, a bassist from Hokkaido, Japan.

“From the late 70s to 80s, Eddie was undoubtedly the hero for Japanese guitarfreak kids. When I bought my first VHS

recorder, MTV was broadcasting their funny video clips. The clips still make me laugh. In short, Eddie Van Halen was a big part of our lives. The loss is a big blow to us and so sad,” Hatakeyama-san said.

He said Van Halen’s musical style had a big influence on young players in Japan.

“Inspired by his famous Frankenstein guitar, everyone wanted it. Musical instrument stores were full of the copy models. And Floyd Rose vibrato arm units became widespread among Japanese guitarists. Music magazines actively introduced his tapping and other techniques,” Hatakeyama-san said.

He’s referring to the famous “Frankenstrat” guitar that was created by Van Halen by combining the guitar traits and attributes of a Fender Stratocaster with the old-school sound of a classic Gibson.

Social media has been buzzing with an outpouring of love, fond memories and posts honoring the late musician. His influence on generations of guitarists, past and present, is undeniable.

“Man, I will say he was never my most favorite guitar player in the world, but he was definitely ONE of them,” says Darrion Hall, guitarist for the Dallas-based Empire 6, a Top-40 cover group that spans a wide range of musical genres.

Drive-Boo Halloween; tricks just for kids, not adults, silly Ryan Bingham Duff

Online/Special Projects I was the third wheel for two friends of mine on Oct. 16 for a night out in the big city of Downtown Dallas. American Airlines Center sponsored its first ever haunted house event taking place in the parking garage. Charging $30-40 per car, not per person -- scary deal, right? Too good to be true, right? Wrong.

Drive Boo was more the other kind of “boo” for haunted house veterans.

Since I was the one behind the wheel, the staff asked me not to exceed the speed limit of 5 miles per hour and to turn off the headlights. That was kind of scary but we could see almost nothing throughout the ride.

I would admit that it was scary being in a parking garage in the the dark because you can’t see what or who may out there who may have sinister intentions. The experience didn’t scare me at all, however, since I literally couldn’t make out most of the staff’s costume designs.

In fact, I think they might have been more scared of me. I was in character too, playing the scared tourist. I pretended to scream and jerk around like I was actually horrified.

According to my colleague, a female punkrocker with a purple mohawk, asked me from the passenger side, “What’s wrong with you?”

She then turned to my buddy and said, “Maybe you should be the one driving. The ‘80s called.

They want their car back.” I responded with, “It’s a ‘70s [car]!” I suppose insulting me was

kind of scary.

However, it wasn’t all bad. The effort they put into setting up the stage was creative, since I am a fan of post-apocalyptic subculture, but limited. Driving up to the fifth floor with only neon lights to guide us made me worry that I was going to crash or hit something rather

than someone jumping out trying to scare us.

The costume design wasn’t bad either, from what I could barely see. A man with a baseball bat wrapped in barbwire made feel a little uncomfortable. It was also kind of cool seeing a large man who may have impersonated Leatherface wielding a type of minichain

saw, although I could only see his silhouette.

The skeletal clown costume wasn’t a bad design either.

Besides the fear of damaging my car, the scariest thing was losing $49.77 for the VIP adult experience.

The climate crisis plaguing America CHRONICLE Richland

Managing Editor

“The scientific community around the world has been telling us for a long time that we must change and now Mother Nature is telling us too,” said Lori Delacruz Lewis, Dallas College’s sustainability coordinator. “This is the last generation that can do something.”

Lewis stressed to students during “Career Opportunities for Solving the Climate Crisis” WebEx conference on Oct. 13 that they can help combat climate change through a series of personal and career-oriented actions and by being aware of the adverse effects of climate change.

“The stakes have never been higher. We need a rigorous plan to draw down the carbon,” she said. “We don’t need a moonshot. We already have transformative solutions. We just need people to scale up the projects around the globe.”

Lewis looked to Paul Hawken for inspiration, a long-time sustainability expert and co-founder of Project Drawdown, “a nonprofit organization that seeks to help the world reach Drawdown – the future point

in time when levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere stop climbing and start to steadily decline,” according to their website.

Hawken challenged scientists and researchers worldwide to develop 100 “creative ideas that already exist” to reduce greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

Ranking near the top of the Project Drawdown list of solutions is alternative refrigerants, which can drastically help reduce one’s carbon footprint.

“The number one thing that their scientists found that can reduce the CO2 in our atmosphere is refrigerant management. It is not exciting, it is not glamorous, but if we can get that managed, we can put a huge dent in extracting the carbon out of the atmosphere,” she said.

The list includes onshore wind turbines as another solution that could generate electricity at a utility scale. Wind turbines have already started to overtake the West Texas landscape.

Roscoe Wind Farm is the largest onshore wind farm in the world.

“The economy is not going to suffer when we do these things. These are all opportunities for more jobs, cleaner jobs, more productive

jobs and secure jobs that will help solve the climate crisis,” Lewis said.

Making lifestyle changes, such as adopting plant-rich diets, can also help draw down carbon usage. According to Lewis, reducing the demand on meat and dairy not only can improve one’s overall health, it can create more sustainable communities too. A decline in land clearing, fertilizer use, “burping cattle’’ and greenhouse gas emissions also contribute to favorable outcomes when adopting plantrich diets.

Health and education also made the list of solutions.

“When levels of education rise, in particular for young girls and women, and access to reproductive health care improves, women’s political, social and economic empowerment expands, life gets better and you reduce CO2,” Lewis said.

STEM professions are typically associated with tackling climate change. Lewis, however, is corralling professionals in every field to contribute their ideas, stressing the vital role of individuals in spearheading positive, forward movement to address climate change.

“What we need to make sure our students understand is, if you’re not majoring in STEM, it’s not that you can’t make a difference. We need everybody to be in on this. We need the business people, marketing people and the writers to tell the stories and sell the visions,” she said.

Climate change can be seen as creating a domino effect that has an impact on multiple facets of the environment and the economy.

It’s not just a rise in global temperatures.

Lewis cautions students to acknowledge that 19 of the hottest years have occurred since 2001, with 2016 being the hottest year ever recorded in history. Rising sea levels, shrinking ice sheets, record flooding and the western U.S. wildfires are among the adverse effects that she says are plaguing the environment at an alarming rate.

Thunderduck sports return to Richland Campus Jalen Jordan Sports Writer

Richland sports are returning to campus along with the treasured mascot: The Thunderduck. On March 6 the Richland Campus was closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, shutting down Richland’s spring sports as well. That took away athletes’ opportunities to make a name for themselves on the field, the court and even the wrestling mat. Now Richland and the other Dallas College athletics programs are bringing sports back.

Guy Simmons, Richland athletic director and coach, said what’s most important to him during this crazy year is helping people grow in life and in the real world.

“Richland Sports means a lot, but the student athletes mean everything to me, and helping them grow as human beings and better students is the main goal,” Simmons said.

All Richland sports, including baseball, volleyball and the men and women’s basketball, soccer and wrestling programs have resumed. Practice began Oct. 7 and, due to COVID-19 protocol, practice is limited to eight hours each week, making that two hours each day, Tuesdays to Fridays.

“With the cases continuing to rise throughout the summer and now, the other athletic directors and I had countless of meeting from the day we closed to now, to find a way to keep our athletes, coaches and other parts of the staff as safe as possible,” Simmons said.

Before practice, athletes must check-in at the gym using the Appian app and answer questions related to COVID-19, making sure no athletes have symptoms, have been around anyone who has contracted the virus or has been out of the country the last few months.

As of Oct. 1, Dallas College sports are back in action. This T-Ducks baseball photo was taken prior to the pandemic, March 8.

With a lot of sports programs cancelling their seasons for good, Simmons sees it as an opportunity for many Richland athletes.

“It’s a big opportunity for us and I know our athletes won’t take it for granted knowing others can’t play the sport they love.”.

The athletics got more good news regarding the Richland mascot, which is here to stay.

“It’s more than just a name to us. It’s been featured on social media around the Dallas community and even ESPN so I’m excited to hear that the Thunderduck’s will continue to represent Richland College,” he said.

Los Angeles Lakers win NBA Finals After three long months in the bubble, the NBA finally has a champion. As I predicted, the Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Miami

Heat in game six of the NBA Finals to take the series. The Laker’s LeBron James was named MVP. “Our organization wants their respect.

Laker’s nation wants their respect,” James told The Associated Press. “And I want my damn respect, too.”

Being isolated in one place for three months was challenging, but the Lakers had what it took to win the Finals in the bubble.

“We have a Ph.D. in adversity. I’ll tell you that much,” Lakers coach Frank Vogel said.

“We’ve been through a lot.”

The Los Angeles Lakers dedicated the season to the late Kobe Bryant who delivered five titles to the city during his time with the team.

The season ends for Dak Prescott The score was 24-23 and Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys were beginning to get in a grove against the New York Giants after being down 17-0 in the third quarter. It was the second down and a quarterback draw was called. Dak runs, misses one tackle and, as he tries to get the second defender off of him, that defender falls and lands on awkwardly on Dak. It was a gruesome injury. AP reported that Dak was rushed to the hospital for immediate surgery. A few hours later it was announced he has a dislocated right ankle and a compound fracture. He will be out of the game for four to six months. Backup quarterback Andy Dalton finished the game leading the Cowboys to a 37-34 win over the Giants.
