Students to head ‘into the streets’ Saturday

By KIRSTEN SCHLORFF Staff Writer K.B.Schlorff@iup.edu

Students and campus organizations plan to volunteer their time and service Saturday, assisting local organizations and agencies in the biannual Into the Streets event.

Into the Streets is a day of service for IUP students to give back to the community and provides an opportunity to earn service hours.

The event is held in both the fall and spring semesters every year. All students are invited to participate.

The Office of Service Learning developed this event 15 years ago to increase and diversify the number of people participating in community service within the Indiana area while also aiming to challenge negative stereotypes about IUP students.

The Office of Service Learning held a meeting for all registered individuals and team leader volunteers Wednesday.

Agencies for which students volunteer during this event include: The Indiana Players, Indiana County Humane Society, Indiana Garden Club, Evergreen Conservancy, the Indiana Community Gardens, Downtown Indiana and Horace Mann Elementary.

The Indiana Community Gardens is asking for the largest number of volunteers during Saturday’s event.

“Phi Delta Theta contributed the most student volunteers for last year,” Faber said.

“The length of service time varies depending on the agency and what work needs to be done, but most activities are finished by late afternoon.”

Two officers of the IUP national honor society Phi Eta Sigma, Olivia Everitt (senior, nutrition)

and Anna Manges (sophomore, biology), plan to help the Indiana County Humane Society at Saturday’s event.

“This is my second year participating, but last year I cleaned up Philadelphia Street,” Everitt said.

“I enjoy being able to volunteer with club members and friends outside of classes.”

“I participated in Into the Streets with the Student Philanthropy Council last spring, and we helped clean out garden beds and organize sheds at the Indiana Community Garden in Mack Park,” Manges said.

“It was a good opportunity because we made connections with the local community and helped demonstrate that IUP students actually care about the town, too.”

All student volunteers participating in Saturday’s event will receive free T-shirts at check-in.

A free pizza lunch will also be provided for participants from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. in Pratt Hall.

California wildfires leave behind ash and debris

By JOSEPH SERNA and

SONALI KOHLI

Los Angeles Times TNS

As crews gain increasing control of Northern California’s massive wildfires, firefighters from around the state are starting to return while some evacuees are just now digging through what’s left of their neighborhoods.

Most mandatory evacuations throughout the region have been lifted, but about 22,000 people in Sonoma County were still displaced Thursday morning, either because their homes are still at risk or were in a burn zone, said Sonoma County spokesman Scott Alonso.

The fires destroyed at least 5,700 structures, including more than 2,800 homes in the city of Santa Rosa alone.

Officials called it the deadliest week in California fire history, with at least 42 confirmed fatalities.

Better weather this week has helped firefighters continue to control flames and prevent further damage.

With cool temperatures and a small dose of rain expected Thursday, the objective in the days to come will be to make sure no spot fires grow out of control and that crews that have been here for nearly two weeks stay vigilant and avoid mishaps, Cal Fire officials said in a morning briefing at the Sonoma County Fairgrounds.

According to the National Weather Service, light rain will move into the region by the afternoon.

Winds will start blowing to the northeast before reversing in the evening, and gusts of up to 25 mph could breathe new life into small fires within the larger wildfire perimeters, officials said.

At their peak, the state’s large fires had drawn about 11,000 firefighters into the battle.

But with the largest blazes in Sonoma, Napa and Mendocino counties nearing full containment, firefighters have begun to trickle back to their respective states, counties and districts.

and was 92 percent contained Thursday morning.

As with the Nuns fire, smoldering in the Tubbs fire was “contained to inside of the fire perimeter,” according to Cal Fire.

Sonoma County is holding community meetings Thursday on the process for getting state and federal aid to clean ash and debris, Alonso said.

Cleanup of the hazardous materials can be dangerous and expensive, he said.

“We’re really concerned about people touching the debris, trying to remove ash. We will have hazardous materials teams deployed ... to help homeowners with largescale removal,” Alonso said. “We

The Pocket fire, the smallest but least contained of the active Sonoma County fires, had burned 16,552 acres and was 73 percent contained Thursday morning.

The Nuns fire was 82 percent contained after scorching 54,423 acres, including an offshoot near Oakmont that had worried firefighters earlier this week.

As of Thursday morning, Nuns fire activity was minimal with “some smoldering,” according to a Cal Fire incident report. “All activity confined to the inside of the fire perimeter.”

In Napa County the 51,624acre Atlas Fire, responsible for at least six deaths, was 85 percent contained Thursday morning.

While most evacuees in Napa County have been allowed back into their neighborhoods, many roads remained closed Thursday.

In Mendocino County, where eight people died, evacuees from the Redwood and Sulphur fires are returning home as well.

The Redwood fire was 85 percent contained and had burned 36,523 acres as of Thursday morning, and the nearby 2,207-acre Sulphur fire in Lake County was 96 percent contained.

State System, APSCUF negotiate; BOG meets

By ALEXANDRIA MANSFIELD Managing Editor A.M.Mansfield@iup.edu

The Association of Pennsylvania State College and University Faculties (APSCUF) and the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education (PASSHE) announced on Tuesday a tentative, one-year contract agreement that would run until June 30, 2019.

If this agreement is approved, it will take effect at the conclusion of the current contract on June 30, 2018.

“We understand the problems that are facing the system,” APSCUF President Ken Mash said.

“We’re going to be doing the chancellor search, advocating for more funds for the system – and we all agree it’s best not to have that kind of tension and distraction.”

Both parties agreed that a shorter contract would be best to prevent a disturbance to their primary goal of providing a quality education.

(APSCUF website) Ken Mash is the president of the Association of Pennsylvania State College and University Faculties.

“This was a relatively short agreement,” Mash said. “It supplements what already exists, but what’s new is relatively short.”

The contract must be ratified before the State System or APSCUF releases any details regarding its changes.

Negotiations for the next contract will begin in summer 2018, but what will be discussed is

OPINION

EDITORIAl “Don’t ask that guy – he wants to hang them all!”

According to an article titled “The Danger of President Pence” in this week’s issue of The New Yorker, this was President Donald Trump’s reference to Vice President Mike Pence’s stance on gay rights.

The remark added even more fuel to the ongoing conversation about gay rights in America.

Trump’s choice of Pence as his running mate in July 2016 raised eyebrows across the LGBT community. Pence, who defines himself as a “Christian first, conservative second and a Republican third,” according to an Oct. 17 article in The Washington Post, has made public statements and legislation that seem to reinforce an anti-LGBT rhetoric.

Pence, the former governor of Indiana, signed into law Indiana Senate Bill 101, the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, in March 2015.

The law allowed businesses to cite reli-

orientation when hiring people for his administration.

“If the best person for the job happens to be gay, I would certainly support them,” he said in the interview.

But, in July of this year, Trump tweeted that he was placing a ban on all transgender people from serving in the military, and in February, the Trump administration pulled back protections that allowed transgender students to use bathrooms that correspond to their gender identities.

“As your president,” Trump said in his speech last year at the Republican National Convention, “I will do everything in my power to protect our LGBTQ citizens from the violence and oppression of a hateful foreign ideology.”

Nine months into his presidency, Trump’s legislation says otherwise.

Pence and put into law a few weeks later.

In 2006, Pence supported a Constitutional Amendment that would have defined marriage as solely between a man and woman while he was the head of the Republican Study Committee, a caucus of House Conservatives.

“Societal collapse was always brought about following an advent of the deterioration of marriage and family,” Pence said in a speech at the time.

He added that preventing gay marriage was not discrimination but instead a reinforcement of “God’s idea.”

While a member of Congress, Pence also voted against employment nondiscrimination protections for gay and transgender people and voted against the repeal of “Don’t ask, don’t tell.”

Trump’s stance on LGBT rights, however, is still murky.

In an interview with The Advocate in 2000, Trump said that, if he became president someday, he wouldn’t consider sexual

Oh, my: There’s a New Hampshire poll out. As in the 2020 New Hampshire primary.

Yes, it’s way too early for the poll to mean much. Indeed, in previous cycles I would have just said, “Ignore those polls!” and moved on.

But this time around, I have to point out that I was dead wrong about the Republican nomination in 2016, perhaps in part because I dismissed early – albeit not this early – polls showing Donald Trump on top. Now, I don’t think that Trump’s flukish nomination demonstrated that everything political scientists be-

October 20, 2017

lieved about presidential nominations was wrong.

But I do think a little more caution is in order.

Generally, the problem with early polling is that voters – most of whom won’t really engage in nomination politics until very close to the election – simply don’t have strongly held opinions about most politicians. So early polling tends to be little more than an exercise in name recognition. That’s no doubt why on the Democratic side Sen. Bernie Sanders and former Vice President Joe Biden are the leaders in this University of New Hampshire survey.

Does that tell us anything useful? Well, sure. For one thing, while it’s true that advantages in

name recognition will dissipate

by Election Day as the other candidates run their campaigns, it’s also true that initial name recognition is, in fact, a resource some candidates have and some don’t.

From the point of view of the candidates, it’s a resource like any other – endorsements, campaign money, electioneering skills, and on and on.

Again, it’s hardly the most valuable, but it is something.

Polls such as this one tend to convince party actors that the strong vote Sanders received during the 2016 process was more a function of the small candidate field rather than an indication of a surge of solid Bernie people.

The Jukehouse Bombers is a local band that describes its style as “down n’ dirty rock and blues.”

The band’s members are comprised of Jimmy and Joe Roach on guitar and vocals, Kirsch on guitar, Troy Laney on bass and vocals and Josh Williams on drums.

Dan Bubien, general manager, guitarist and vocalist for The Delta Struts, enthusiastically described The Jukehouse Bombers’ music.

“They’re like outlaw blues,” Bubien said. “I love those guys.”

The Delta Struts is a Pittsburgh

band with Bubien on guitar and vocals, Shawn Mazzei on guitar, Mark Pollera on drums and Christian Caputo on bass.

“I feel like we put a contemporary spin on soulful roots music,” Bubien said. “Our song writing is more modern, but we try to hold on to traditional tones and sounds.”

Jimmy Roach, press contact, guitarist and vocalist for the Jukehouse Bombers said The Delta Struts are real crowd pleasers. “[The Delta Struts are] the real deal right there,” Roach said.

“They take it to the crowd every night.”

The Jukehouse Bombers are familiar with the Brown’s live music venue.

“I’m glad to see that there’s things going on at The Brown again,” Roach said. “It’s always been a good venue for us.”

This will be The Delta Strut’s first time playing at the Brown.

However, the band has played with The Jukehouse Bombers recently at Blues and Brews in Johnstown.

Roach said the bands have been looking for opportunities to work together.

“We are looking forward to the event at the brown,” Roach said.

“Our sounds go well together,” Bubien said.

Bubien said the band is excited to check out Indiana’s music scene.

“Pittsburgh’s live music scene is better than it’s been in a long time,” Bubien said. “We don’t know much about Indiana’s scene, but we are excited to find out.”

Local paintball business continues to boom

While Indiana has a variety of different weekend activities for students, one experience that is lesser-known to students is the local paintball venue.

Groups can get together for an afternoon of team bonding, exercising or just inflicting pain on each other. Founded three years ago by Tim Toy, Bad Company Paintball offers a venue for groups and individuals to participate in several different types of paintball.

ment needed to play. Toy said the company enjoys helping people who are new to paintball with their first experience.

While the company mostly focuses on group reservations, it does offer open-play events once a month where people can show up to play on their own or with a few friends.

Bad Company Paintball recently started to expand its competitive paintball with two-man tournaments, which pits teams of two against each other. Prizes and trophies are rewarded to the winning team.

Bad Company Paintball will host the second of these tournaments Saturday. While it may be too late to register for Saturday’s event, Toy plans to offer more of

these small-team-style tournaments throughout the year. The official rules and regulations for this tournament can be found on the company’s Facebook page at: https://www.facebook.com/Bad CoPaintball/.

The paintball venue is usually open on only weekends, but Toy said that it can accommodate weekday events for groups that make reservations in advance.

However, if people do have a group to play, they will need to plan a bit in advance because the company has been booked for most weekends.

Toy said that groups should try to book a space at least one month in advance. The minimum number of players required to reserve a space is eight.

(Facebook) Dierks Bentley’s “Hold the Light” is featured in the new movie “Only the Brave.”

Dierks Bentley sings praises of Granite Mountain Hotshots

By RICK BENTLEY Tribune News Service TNS

Country superstar Dierks Bentley has conquered almost every aspect of music, from radio plays to record sells to concert appearances. But nothing he's done in his career has been as meaningful to him as writing and performing "Hold the Light" for the feature film "Only the Brave." The movie is based on the tragic deaths of 19 Arizona firefighters in 2013.

"There are a lot of personal elements for me," Bentley said.

"Getting to have a small part in this movie about the Granite Mountain Hotshots is very, very rewarding to say the least."

If there was ever going to be a time Bentley was going to write and perform a song for a movie, it was this film. The Phoenix native was on tour when the firefighters were killed battling a blaze near Yarnell, Ariz. He immediately responded by hosting the Country Cares Concert in 2013, which raised more than $500,000 for the families of the firefighters. That was only the start as Bentley has continued to support the families.

Bentley says he is certain he was contacted by the studio to be part of the movie because of that benefit concert. " "Hold the Light," which also features Bon Iver's S. Carey, was written by Bentley, Carey, Joe Trapanese and Jon Randall. Trapanese, music composer for "Only the Brave," had started a song and Bentley was asked to take that preliminary work and shape it into a tune that would not only play over the closing credits but would also be a recurring musical

theme throughout the production.

An example of those heartfelt words appears in the chorus of "Hold the Light" where Bentley sings: "We never say goodbye.

Just let me hold the light."

Bentley says getting a song from the first notes on paper to when he finally performs it is a long process full of countless changes.

"It's a pretty powerful combination of audio and visual when you put them together," Bentley said.

Writing the tune for the movie, which now makes Bentley eligible for Academy Award consideration, is the latest in a long list of accomplishments for the Grand Ole Opry member. The current CMA "Male Vocalist of the Year" nominee has had 17 number one hits and more than 1 billion digital streams. His 2017 What the Hell World Tour hit the top of Billboard's Hot Tours list by selling more than 750 million tickets.

Bentley has been repeatedly asked if he will perform "Hold the Light" when he tours in 2018.

He hadn't thought about the song list yet but it makes sense because he always salutes first responders in his performances. He knows that performing the song will be another way of continuing to show his respect and admiration for those who face danger for a living.

He considers this kind of paying back as being a major part of the career he has selected.

"I have this great platform and get the chance to use it in a positive way," Bentley said. "I think part of it also comes from my own need to comprehend something like that fire or like the shooting in Las Vegas. It is a way to show respect."

Country band Willow Hill is set to play Friday at Levity Brewing Co., located at 1380 Wayne Ave. The husband-and-wife duo has written songs together for

more than 12 years. Alexandra and C.T. Fields started their careers in a rock ‘n’ roll band called Lovebettie. They then explored other music outside the realm of rock ‘n’ roll, which lead them to performing country music.

The Fields marveled at the authentic lyrics of songs on country radio stations, which

inspired them to write their first song, “Highway One,” also the name of their debut EP. The EP is the first major release for Willow Hill’s growing fan base. Its songs quickly found their way onto mainstream country radio.

“We love hearing [our fans’] feedback and which songs are their favorite,” Willow Hill’s

“No matter what the size of the crowd or venue is, it's about having a good time and making everyone else have a good time too,” the band’s Facebook page said in a direct message.

Coming from a recent performance in Aruba, the band is constantly traveling and performing anywhere.

On Friday at Levity, people can expect interaction between the band and the audience as Willow Hill will perform a collection of its songs.

Willow Hill said there will be “plenty of jokes at each other’s expense” in a Facebook direct message.

NBA season officially underway; Warriors fall in season opener

By JOHN FORAN Staff Writer

J.N.Foran@iup.edu

This NBA season has been one of the most anticipated in some time. With an offseason full of trades and free-agent pickups, fans were eagerly awaiting the arrival of the season that began Tuesday night.

The tip off began with the Boston Celtics visiting the Cleveland Cavaliers, a rematch of last year’s Eastern Conference Finals. The two teams made huge offseason waves with a trade sending point guard Kyrie Irving to Boston, with the Celtics sending point guard Isiah Thomas, forward Jae Crowder and big-man Ante Zizic to Cleveland along with Boston’s 2018 first round pick.

The pick originally belonged to the Brooklyn Nets but was sent to Boston as a piece of the Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce trade a few seasons back. The Nets are projected to be one of the NBA’s worst teams, meaning that the pick Cleveland received may potentially be a lottery pick in 2018.

Boston also picked up rising star and former Utah Jazz forward Gordon Hayward this summer. Sadly, his season was short-lived, as he fractured his ankle just six minutes into the season opener. He is not expected to return this year.

Cleveland defeated the Celtics, 102-99, in the season opener.

Following that was the home opener for the reigning NBA champions, the Golden State Warriors, who played host to the Houston Rockets.

Coverage of the game started with the championship banner unveiling at Oracle Arena in Oakland, along with the gift of the classic

12

championship rings for the returning players and coaches.

Houston made some big moves, as well, acquiring all-star point guard Chris Paul from the Los Angeles Clippers.

Paul will pair with James Harden, who Houston values so much it agreed on a four-year, $160 million contract extension. His $228 million guaranteed contract is the most expensive in NBA history.

Many who expected Golden State to start the season off with another winning streak were disappointed, as Houston spoiled the home opener for fans, 122-121.

One team with many eyes on it coming into the regular season is the Philadelphia 76ers. This young team is packed with stars including former first-round pick Joel Embiid, veteran shooter JJ Reddick, former first-round pick Dario Saric and two rookies Ben Simmons and Markelle Fultz, who were the No. 1 overall picks in the 2016 and 2017 drafts, respectively.

The 76ers lost their first game to the Washington Wizards, 120-115, but still gave a glimpse of what could be a strong contender for seasons to come.

In what was the worst homeopening loss in NBA history, the Phoenix Suns lost by 44 points to the Portland Trail Blazers. Portland managed to win by such a large margin without its second-leading scorer, C.J. McCollum, after he was suspended for leaving the bench following an altercation during the preseason.

Chicago Bulls forward Nikola Mirotic suffered a maxillofacial fracture from a punch from teammate Bobby Portis.

There is no timeline for Mirotic’s return, and Portis has been suspended by the Bulls for eight games.

(TNS) LeBron James of the Cleveland Cavaliers and Kyrie Irving of the Boston Celtics were at the center of the NBA offseason drama after Irving requested a trade from Cleveland after two straight NBA Finals appearances.

(TNS) The Golden State Warriors celebrated their second championship in three years with a five-game series win over Cleveland in June. The banner-raising celebration was short-lived, however, with the Warriors falling in their season opener to the Houston Rockets, 122-121.

IUP soccer wins sixth straight game

By KEVIN BOHAN Staff Writer

K.J.Bohan@iup.edu

The IUP soccer team has been winning big games during the last three weeks.

After the upset of undefeated No. 2-ranked Kutztown University in the team’s previous contest, IUP boosted its win streak to six straight with a 1-0 victory against Lock Haven University on Wednesday evening. The win featured IUP’s eighth shutout of the year behind more sensational play from one of the two freshmen standout goalkeepers.

Makenzie Witzel (freshman, natural science) posted another fantastic performance in goal to give the Crimson Hawks the advantage.

IUP’s victory displayed the resiliency the team has shown throughout the year, as the game was the ninth game it played that has been decided by one goal. The Crimson Hawks have a record of 5-4 in onegoal games.

Strong defensive play has been a theme for IUP all season, and the defense showed up again to hold Lock Haven to just four total shots and only two of the shots making it on goal.

The defense led to the only goal of the afternoon, scored by Lexie Palluconi (senior, interior design)

in the 34th minute off a well-timed assist from teammate Carly Donia (junior, art).

The game also featured intense physical play between the two teams, which accumulated 15 total fouls throughout.

Not only did the Crimson Hawks extend their win streak, but they also gave themselves a potential path toward postseason play.

Wednesday’s win marked the first time since 2011 that IUP has had a 10-win season.

In addition to the 10 wins, the victory also had major ramifications in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) rankings.

IUP now has firm control of the seventh spot in the conference with 27 total points this season.

With three games remaining, IUP still has several chances to move up even more before the postseason begins.

The team currently sits only one point back of a tie for fifth place with East Stroudsburg University and Seton Hill University, and it sits only two points away for a threeway tie for third with both Gannon and Slippery Rock universities.

IUP was also ranked eighth in the latest United Soccer Coaches NCAA Division II Atlantic Region poll. The next game for the Crimson Hawks will be against Gannon University for Senior Day at 1 p.m.

Saturday at home.

Chiefs suffer first loss at the hands of Steelers; Bell, Brown have big-time performances

By DARNELL TURNER Staff Writer

D.M.Turner4@iup.edu

After Ben Roethlisberger’s comments that maybe he didn’t have it anymore, the Pittsburgh Steelers walked into Arrowhead Stadium and handed the Kansas City Chiefs their first loss of the season.

The Steelers’ two best playmakers came to play Sunday, as Le’Veon Bell ran for 179 yards and Antonio Brown finished the day with 155 receiving yards. Both Bell and Brown had touchdowns.

The biggest play of the day came in the fourth quarter with just over three minutes left in the game.

Antonio Brown made a difficult catch in traffic off a deflection on a ball that could have been intercepted and took it to the house to seal the victory.

The NFL lost another big star due to injury this week. Aaron Rodgers went down with a broken collarbone and could miss the rest of the season.

Rodgers went down with just under seven minutes remaining in

the first quarter on a hit by Vikings linebacker Anthony Barr.

However, the game went on, as the Vikings pulled away and won, 23-10.

Vikings quarterback Case Keenum, who was starting for the injured Sam Bradford, threw for 239 yards and a touchdown.

Packers’ backup quarterback Brett Hundley came in and replaced Rodgers, throwing for 157 yards and three interceptions.

Adrian Peterson made his debut for the Arizona Cardinals after being traded early last week by the New Orleans Saints. Peterson rushed 26 times for 134 yards and two touchdowns.

It was Peterson's first 100-yard rushing performance since Dec. 27, 2015, when he rushed for 104 yards against the New York Giants as a member of the Minnesota Vikings.

The addition of a rushing attack, since David Johnson went down in the first game of the season, helped the Cardinals offense put up big numbers as they held off the Buccaneers, 38-33.

The Miami Dolphins picked up a road win in Atlanta, beating the

Falcons, 20-17.

The Falcons led, 17-0, at halftime and looked to be in command of the game. The Dolphins scored 20 straight points behind a big day on the ground from running back Jay Ajayi.

Ajayi ran the ball 26 times for 130 yards. Matt Ryan, last year’s MVP, and the Falcons’ offense had one more chance to go down the field and score a touchdown for the win or a field goal to tie. The result was an interception thrown in the direction of Austin Hooper.

After missing last week’s game against the Dolphins, Marcus Mariota returned to the field for the Tennessee Titans against the Indianapolis Colts in an AFC South division matchup on Monday Night Football.

After Mariota and the Titans offense failed to capitalize on the first five redzone opportunities, the Titans held off Jacoby Brissett and the Colts with two late touchdowns to win the game, 36-22.

(TNS) Antonio Brown made an acrobatic catch and run for the game-winning touchdown late in the fourth quarter of the Steelers’ win over the Chiefs on Sunday evening.
