Ceremonies across the country remember 9/11 Mallory Pool Assistant News Editor

few activities to mark the anniversary. OSU’s Fire Protection Society and Firefighter Combat Challenge Team will have the Memorial 9/11 Stair Climb inside Boone Pickens Stadium Sunday morning.

Participants, including OSU students, faculty and staff, as well as firefighters from the surrounding areas, will climb the equivalent of 110 stories in honor of firefighters and emergency personnel who responded to the 9/11 attacks at the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001.

The climb is set to begin at 9 a.m. with registration opening at 8:30. OSU has hosted this climb for over 10 years, but this will mark the first time it has been held inside Boone Pickens Stadium.

For more information regarding the event, please visit https://2022 oklahomastateuniversity911.godaddysites.com/.

With a significant day of observance approaching, people across the country are taking a moment to remember one of the most important and heartbreaking events in American and World history. 9/11 has changed the country and the World’s way of life for 21 years.

Universities in Oklahoma and the 9/11 Memorial & Museum in New York City are holding ceremonies and remembering what was lost on that day over two decades ago.

From flags placed at Pioneer Woman Statue in Ponca City to New York City’s massive remembrance ceremony, all over the country, people take the time to sit and reflect on all of the lives lost.

Via Google Images Sept. 11, 2001 was one of the most devastating events in modern American history, and places all around Oklahoma and the country are remembering those who were lost during the fatal incident.

Ben Hutchens Assistant Sports Editor Arizona State coach Herm Edwards receives a lot of high-

level advice.

Edwards, a former NFL head coach with the Kansas City Chiefs and New York Jets, has gathered a crew of former NFL coaches around him in Tempe, Arizona.

Marvin Lewis, a 16-year NFL head coach with the Cincinnati Bengals, is ASU’s special adviser and focused on defense.

Brian Billick, the head coach of the 2001 Super Bowl winning Baltimore Ravens, is a special

adviser to the head coach and concentrates on offense.

Oklahoma State defensive coordinator Derek Mason said he knows Edwards through their days in the NFL and has more recently bumped into him on California golf courses. Mason recalled some of the advice Edwards shared.

“We have to control their quarterback first,” Gundy said. “He’s a good player. He throws the deep ball really well and makes plays with his legs. If you don’t contain him, he’s going take off and run. He can really hurt you.”

ASU lost its leading running back a season ago, Rachaad White, to the NFL. Like so many other teams, the Sun Devils reached to the transfer portal to fill the void and landed on Wyoming transfer Xazavian Valladay.

Valladay led ASU with 15 carries last week and rushed for 116 yards.

Another angle to the game Gundy

chose to downplay is the thought ASU would make a good addition to the Big 12. Gundy’s focus is simply on the game and he is leaving the possible bigger-picture stakes for others to worry about.

The Sun Devils will give the Cowboys a Power Five test that will reveal the true colors of OSU’s team.

“We’ll get a really good feel for where we’re at as a football team after this game, because we’re going to play athletic guys, that are big, physical,” Gundy said. “They’ve got big physical linemen their offensive line is good.

We’ll be challenged in those areas, so we’ll get a good feel for where we’re at.” sports.ed@ocolly.com

Mackenzie Janish In the last three matches, the Cowgirls has yet to score a goal of their own.

Carmichael, Cowgirls not worried about latest offensive drought Carmichael said this summer. “I think if this team finds its groove early there’s no stopping them.”

The offense, which averaged just over one goal a game (1.38) a season ago, was expected to make a huge leap this year with the returning pieces Daniel Allen Carmichael and his team had.

Carmichael believes the seed of

his team’s scoring woes starts with the mechanics. He believes the key to fixing the offensive drought has a lot to do with finishing on scoring opportunities, while also doing a better job of creating set up plays for his team. Nonetheless, the final piece and capitalizing on those opportunities starts with the players.

“I think first off we have to hold the ball better up front,” Carmichael said. “We’re getting pushed off of the ball a little bit too easy. Then we have to be better at retaining the ball because that allows (us) to get more numbers into the attack.”

As OSU enters the backend of its nonconference slate, and begins to look forward to Big 12 conference play, Car-

michael and his team know finding any sort of offensive rhythm is imperative.

Carmichael said an offensive drought, one similar to what the Cowgirls are currently experiencing, is vital to reaching the level of potential he believes his team is capable of.

“It certainly isn’t going to hurt (us) as far as toughening up and getting used to being on the road,” Carmichael said. “We probably hadn’t faced that level of competition yet, like we did last week. So, maybe that was a little eye opener to some of our new players as well.”

“The Bell Jar” book review Claire Hosterman Lifestyle Editor “The Bell Jar” by Sylvia Plath gives a jarring perspective on what it’s like to lose your mind. “The Bell Jar” is Plath’s only published novel. She was a known poet and explored topics in her writing such as her own mental anguish and the troubles of her life. Mental health is still a stigmatized topic in the modern day. When Plath was alive in the 60s and 70s, mental health was a topic society did not know how to address.

In Plath’s novel, you follow the perspective of Esther Greenwood, a young woman from Massachusetts who is an aspiring writer. The reader follows Esther throughout the novel while she depicts her thoughts and feelings. As the book progresses, the reader can notice that Esther is slowly suffering from a mental breakdown and her thoughts and feelings become dark and rapid. The tone that Plath uses for Esther is very blunt and doesn’t hold back on the personal and intimate thoughts of someone who is losing their mind.

This book does a great job of describing how easily and quickly a mind can succumb to itself. It also paints a picture for the reader of how little people knew about struggling with mental health issues back in the 60s. Treatments for these types of issues were experimental and sometimes detrimental, as we see in the book. It is interesting to see how far we have come as a society now in how we address mental health, but also see how the topic is still extremely stigmatized.

This book is rumored to be based on Plath herself and the experiences she struggled with in her life. Shortly after this novel was published, Plath took her own life. Sadly, that adds to the depth and realness of the novel since it is based on Plath herself. I think this is an excellent book that everyone should read. I think it could really help in trying to get a grasp on what goes on in someone’s head when they are struggling mentally. entertainment.ed@ocolly.com

“The Bell Jar” is Sylvia Plath’s only novel.

Margaritas in Stillwater Claire Hosterman Lifestyle Editor Margaritas are a staple here in the South. When the hot weather is long, it’s nice to cool off and relax with a fresh margarita. Here are a few places in Stillwater that offer a wide variety of delicious margaritas.

Fuzzy’s Right in the middle of “The Strip”, Fuzzy’s is a popular spot among students to grab some chips and a margarita with

friends. Fuzzy’s offers a few different margarita flavors, along with margaritas with flipped-over beer, seltzers and champagne. Fuzzy’s is most known for their large “Fish Bowls”, where you can choose any flavor of margarita, but you have to share it with at least four other friends.

Palomino’s Palomino’s is a local Mexican restaurant, located next to the AMC movie theater on Perkins Road. Along with delicious food, Palomino’s also offers a few different types of margaritas. They are known for their 14 ounce margarita pitchers that are great to share with friends. If you want to try multiple flavors, order the “Margarita Sampler” that offers peach, raspberry, mango, sangria and pomegranate.

El Tapatio El Tapatio is another local Mexi-

can restaurant in Stillwater, located on the other side of Perkins Road. El Tapatio is a great place to sit on a patio and enjoy a margarita. Along with serving frozen and on-the-rocks margaritas, they also serve other frozen drinks like pina coladas, bloody marys and sangria swirls. Like Palomino’s, El Tapatio is popular for its 14 ounce pitchers of margaritas that are easily shareable with friends.

Mexico Joe’s The Mexican food chain of the Stillwater classic, Eskimo Joe’s, Mexico Joe’s offers a variety of margarita flavors to enjoy. Along with different margarita flavors, they also offer frozen pina coladas and a margarita flight to try different flavors. In honor of the return of Cowboy football, Mexico Joe’s is offering an “Orange Power” margarita and a “CowboyRita”.

Chili’s People love going to Chili’s to enjoy their diverse menu and the famous skillet queso. Chili’s is also known for its menu of classic margarita flavors.

Every month, Chili’s offers their “Margarita for the Month” for $6, featuring unique flavors of margaritas. The margarita for the month of September is “The Black Cherry Blitz”.

Texas Roadhouse Texas Roadhouses’ margaritas are so legendary that they have their own margarita mix you can purchase. Roadhouse offers a simple menu for margaritas offering flavors original, strawberry, raspberry, watermelon and sangria.

ETERNITY IN MIND! “ Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.”

(1 Co.15:58 NKJ) Just about everything in this life is temporary. Yet, most people work very hard to have a pleasant few years in their lifetime. I would like to remind the true Christians that God is offering us an eternity of blessing as we serve him and his purposes now.

In 1 Co.15 the Apostle Paul is reminding these believers of Christ’s resurrection and how true and real it was. He continues by emphasizing the sure promise of God that we are going to share in that resurrection one day. We will have a new, eternal body like Jesus has now. As we help in the work of God, furthering his kingdom;

demonstrating the love of God in blessing and serving others; as you and I get involved with helping missionary work, even going to help in short term mission trips or providing finances for others to go, we are laying up treasure in heaven “where moths cannot corrupt and thieves cannot steal.”

Actually, this kingdom of God, with forgiveness of all our sins and a new relationship with God as our Father, is offered to all mankind. If you have never opened your heart to Christ, asking for a clean heart and a new life; the door is open wide for you to come. You will not be turned away.

Then you too can begin to live for the eternal: laying up treasure in Heaven. I encourage all to consider these words, no matter your age, and choose the best and most satisfying life. It is a life following Christ as your Lord, and going for God’s best in eternity. It is a great and sure future!
