everyone was wearing
pink and there were no
angry bingo players."
The hopeful contestants of all ages were

offered complimentary
snacks and used pieces
of corn to mark their
boards, all hoping to
win the many Vera
Bradley prizes. A handful ofDVDs were also in
the mix.
The
first
three
games were traditional
bingo. Michelle Marsh
took home the opening
prize, snagging an ID
holder and "Fifty First
Dates." Next Kelsey
Prommel started her
hot streak by winning a
tech case and "You, Me

The game started to
get more complicated as
Linsey Ard won a wristlet and "In Her Shoes"
by drawing the high
card to break a threeway tie in the X format

game. This game was
followed by a four corners game which saw
Kala Fultz take home a
make-up case and the
final movie of the
evening, 'The Sandlot."
The first raffle of the
evening split up the
bingo competition was
for a draw string bag
which was taken home
by Mariah Hippie.

break to grab some popcorn and drinks before
the games resumed.

Although the number of

Stephen Lee, director of

increase in transfer students and the state of
the economy.
In these difficult

.Wars have lasting affect
*on

area residents

Polyanna Puckett
Staff Reporter
ppuckett("lhup.edu
As
the
United
States continues its
involvement in two
wars in foreign lands,
the wars' impacts are
felt right here at home.
Many people who
live or work in Lock
Haven have seen first
hand what wars can do.
The United States
has suffered the more
casualties than any
other country, including Iraq, 4,349, and
Afghanistan,
873,
according to icasualties.org, an online
database that tracks
the number of service
members who have
been wounded or killed
since the start of the
wars.
Dave Bowers, of the
Department
of
Veterans Affairs in
Lock Haven, works on
a daily basis with veterans from as early as

the World War II to
help
ensure
that
they're receiving the
care and benefits they
deserve. Part of his job
involves giving veterans, who are having a
hard time returning
home after a deployment, the resources to
find help and support
to cope with mental
and physical ailments.
He
stated
that
Clinton County has
many residents who
are
serving
in
Operation
Iraqi
Freedom (OIF) and
Operation Enduring
Freedom (OEF) while
providing services to
help family members of
service members find
ways to cope as well.
With the rate of
U.S. deaths overseas
has yet to see a significant drop in numbers,
more and more combatassociated
problems
continue to exist.
'The top four problems that Iraq and
Afghanistan veterans
suffer from are hearing
loss, tinnitus (a constant ringing in the

ears),

post-traumatic

stress disorder and
physical wounds from
combat," Bower said.
"Any
person
who
enters the military
knows that when they
sign up to serve that
there are potential
risks to their health."
Tabitha Lane, a
sociology major at Lock
Haven
University,
served in Iraq for 12
months and considers
herself in fine health
today. She said that
she "joined the Army
National Guard to help
pay for college," but she
"ended up getting far
more life experience
from her deployment
than from college."
"My
deployment
really taught me that
you can do anything
you put your mind to,"
said Lane. "It taught
me how precious life is
and not to take any day
or person for granted."
She considers dealing with the loss of her
close friends the hardest part of her deployment. She explained
that when one of her

fellow soldiers was
killed in combat, there
was really never any
chance to heal from it.
The fallen solder's body
is flown out of the area
overnight and there
might be a quick
memorial service a few
days later.
"Everything happens very quickly and
when you least expect
it," said Lane. "You
never really get to
grieve for your friends
and it's hard to accept."
Christopher Dean, a
master sergeant with
the
Lock
Haven
University ROTC, is no
stranger to deployments. He has spent a
total of four and a half
years in Iraq on six different deployments.
"The hardest part
for me, and it's probably the same for all the
guys that I know, is the
separation from family
and
friends," said
Dean. "Even the small
things that most people

Assistive technology
fair holds annual event
Clifford Harmon
Staff Reporter
charmon@lhup.edu
Lock
Haven
University's Parsons
Union Building hosted
this year's third annual
fair on assistive technology
on
Friday,
October 23rd.
Assistive technology
devices are designed to
help students and people with disabilities
accomplish everyday
task such as reading,
writing, spelling, etc.
There are nearly 40
devices available to
date, all ranging in
price but most are

affordable.
"The devices are
specifically designed to
help teachers who have
Special Ed classes,"
said
Latha
Dr.
associate
Bhushan,
professor, Department
of Special Education.
"Teachers who have
students with disabilities in all age groups
are who benefit most
from these technologies."
Among the devices
on display was the I.D
mate OMNI, an "all-inone" talking bar code
scanner that updates
every six months. This

device aids a visually
individual
impaired
with the identification
ofitems using the product's bar code or UPC.
I.D. Mate Omni cost
$899.00.
Also on display was
the Classmate reader.
This piece oftechnology
aids those who have
trouble reading or following along withreadings in class by reading
text aloud, and highlighting sections it is
reading so students can
follow along easier.
The Classmate reader
cost roughly $480.

place the device on the
book and it enlarges
the font directly on the
screen. This device cost
$795.00
Early childhood students were not forgotten. On display for
their age group were
Switch Toys. These
toys can be used by
those who have motor
conditions that do not
allow squeezing or
other skills required to
work toys. Each toy
comes equipped with a
switch connected to it,
which has to be con-

nected to a click button
switch for the product
to work. Switch Toys
range in price from $30
to $70.
"These toys are perfect for Adam," said
Cathy
McFadden,
mother of student with
disability. "Adam had
a stroke about a year
ago, paralyzing the
right side of his body.
So because he can't
squeeze things and
play with toys the way
most kids do, these are
like the perfect toy for
him."
Assistive technologies range from high
tech to low tech, and
help improve the quality of life for individuals
with or without disabilities in both academic
and non-academic environments. If you cannot afford a device
there is help.
The
Pennsylvania Assistive
Technology Foundation
(PATF) is a non-profit
organization that provides low-interest loans
to people with disabilities and older adults so
that they can buy the
assistive
technology
devices and services
they need.
"Our joint goal is to
make the quality of life
not only easier, but
affordable for people
to," said Bhushan.

Radio studio gets needed upgrade
Tyler Kegolis
Staff Reporter

tkegolis@lhup.edu

When you walk into
the newly upgraded
radio studio perched
on the seventh floor of
Robinson Hall at Lock
Haven University, the
brightly lit computer
monitors and sound
board look more like
something from a science-fiction
movie
than a radio studio.
Purchased in the
1980s, the equipment
being used in the stu-

dio was outdated and
what the
professionals use in
the industry today.
With the authorization of spending by
Dean White, $35,000
was spent to upgrade
the old analog system
to
fully
digital.
According to communications media professor
Sharon
Dr.
Stringer, "This new
equipment is state of
the art and what's
being used in the field
today."
The old studio used
shareware and freeware applications such
as Audacity for audio
editing. The new stuno longer

dio is complete with
licensed audio editing
software by Adobe
Audition. Everything
else is also new from
the microphones, software and monitors,
down to the desk it is
all sitting on.
NexGen Digital is
the most widely used
studio
automation
software in the United
States and is currently
being used by over
2,500 stations worldwide to broadcast their
audio daily.
NexGen has Clear
Channel
stations
available across the
country
and
the
automation software

allows for 24 hour
broadcast. This means
that shows can still
run when no one is in
the studio. Penh State

using the same setup.

allows for real experience, which they can

would not be possible.
According to radio
club president Kyle
Cicilioni, who has used
the old and new equipment, "the new (equipment) is really nice

and easy to work with.
Everything is more
organized." This will
make broadcasts run
much smoother.
"I love it. I am
happy,"
Dr.
says
Stringer.
"Many
thanks go out to the
tech team led by Steve
Smith who had it
installed in less than
two weeks."
The equipment is
not only to the benefit
of
communications

Clinton
Feeding
County, the food drive
the
sponsored
by
Student Cooperative
Council, will wrap up
this week with what is
sure to be a successful
collection of canned
goods. This is the first
annual food drive.
"We chose to do the
food drive this year so
the students could have
the opportunity to do
something great for the
community and help
out their own clubs in
the process," said Chris
Lunden,
SCC
President.
"While
many clubs do a lot of

service,
community
some do not. So with
this easy idea, we
hoped to have a large
effort in the food drive."
So far the food drive
has been a huge success collecting over 600
cans in just over three
weeks. The SCC is hoping to collect 1500 cans
by the last day of the
food drive, October 31.
The donation venue
has not yet been determined by the Student
Cooperative Council.
After the food drive
they will be calling
local food banks to
decide who will receive
the
donations
in
Clinton County.
There is still time to
donate your cans and
give back to the com-

munity. Pick up a registration form and drop
off your can collections
at the PUB. Any group
donation must be a
minimum of 100 standard- sized cans.
A grand prize of
$500 will be given to
the club or organization
that donates the most
cans, and a second
prize of $200 will be
given to the club collecting the next largest
donation.
Any club or organization wishing to give
back to the community
is encouraged to participate in this can drive.

H1N1 flu clinics
for LHU campus
Lock Haven Express
www.lockhaven.com
Two large-scale flu
clinics
are
being
planned for Clinton
County with the anticipation that 9,000 or
more residents will
want to be immunized
against the HlNl or
"swine flu" influenza,
according to William
Emergency
Frantz,
Management Agency
coordinator.
The date hasn't
been set, Frantz said,
but his office has coordinated
with
the
Department of Health
to identify two sites
where the clinics will
be held.
One of the clinics
will be held at Lock
Haven University, and
the other will be at
Bucktail Area High
School.
Frantz said the clinics will be held over
three, 12-hour days at
each of the two sites.
It's hoped that the clinic can be held at
Bucktail during a halfschool day, so it can
run from 12:30 to 8
p.m., and allow school
nurses and resource
offices to participate in
the effort, Frantz said.
"It's been a struggle
setting this up," Frantz
said. "The details are
being worked out and
we'll keep you in the
loop."
State officials said
there have been four
test-confirmed cases of
H1N1

in

County since April.

According to state

officials,

has broadened the criteria used to determine
who can receive a flu

he anticipates anybody

three-day clinics will

department officials
emphasized the need to
practice the following
basic steps to help prevent the spread of
germs to others:
-Wash hands thoroughly before and after
preparing food, before
eating and after using
the restroom.
-Cover your nose
and
mouth
when
coughing or sneezing,
and wash your hands
to prevent spreading
germs to objects like
doorknobs and other
household items.
-Get plenty of rest,
eat properly and dress
appropriately for the
weather.
-Minimize time in
crowded areas during
the flu season, when
the risk of exposure to
germs increases.
-When
practical,
avoid contact with others if you have the flu.

A few sour apples
Nick Durling
Guest Writer
ndurlingtelhup.edu

To those who have
ever thought Lock
Haven University students are a nuisance,
the information that
you are about to read
is not the opinion of
the companies and
volunteer
agencies
around Lock Haven,
they are strictly mine.
However there are
facts that I have
retrieved
from
employees at such
businesses.
There are currently
about 4,600 students
enrolled
Lock
at
Haven University and
we have all been
labeled as a drunken
minority, or stamped
as a place called a
"puke bucket" and
that is not fair.
We have also had
the finger pointed at
us, saying that we
serve no purpose here
in Lock Haven and we
do no good for this
small town. Yes, there
are a few that disrupt
parts of the community, but that is not all
of us. Let me show the
town of Lock Haven
what
students
do
around the community
and how much we
actually put back in.
I talked to the manager, Maria Boileau,
of an organization
called Downtown Lock
Haven Incorporated,
which helps run and
put on programs in
downtown Lock Haven
and she had this to
say, " Lock Haven students do a lot especially volunteer work.
"About 250 to 300
students
volunteer
their time each year to
help with programs
like: clean up down-

town Lock Haven, decorate for each holiday,
and even give out
candy to the children
of Lock Haven around
Halloween time."
So some can trust
us to give candy to
their children, yet try
not to recognize Lock
Haven students as
part of their community, doesn't that seem a
little difficult to wrap
your head around?
She also had this to
say, " If you are going
to live in a college
town you have to
expect some problems,
but that's why we
have organizations to
help fix such problems. However, we
have always had more
positive
relations,
than negative relations with Lock Haven
Students."
Also I got to talk to
Howard Wooding, a
driver for the fire company down at the
Citizens Hose CO. 5
and he said that, the
company has four college students that volunteer their time at
the fire station. So for
those that believe we
do not do our share,
just keep in mind that
students from this
university are fighting
through fire to save
citizens
of
Lock
Haven.
Okay so we volunteer, if that's not
enough lets looks at
some economic aspects
then. I
went
to
Dominos to find out
some
information,
because let's face it, it
is a huge success in
Lock Haven; you can
always see a delivery
vehicle somewhere. I
talked to an employee
there who also happens to be a Lock
Haven student, Erica
Cameridge explained

this, "Most of the peo-

ple who work here are
college students. Also
on a
Friday and
Saturday
night
Dominos fills about
75-150
university
orders, and one bill on
average is about thirteen dollars."
So on average in
two nights college students alone spend
about $1345 dollars.
Impressive, don't you
think? Okay, well
everyone eats Pizza so
what about somewhere else, I also
with Cindi
spoke
Fitch, a Customer
Service Supervisor at
Walmart, and she only
had one thing to say, "
When the university
students are here
sales definitely go up."
Well Walmart is a
place where students
can get everything
they need, so why
don't we dig deeper
into the roots of
America, McDonalds
the most famous fast
food restaurant, globally.
Terri
Lauplad,
manager, emphasized
the importance ofLock
Haven college students; especially when
it comes to the Late
Night menu, that is
from 10 p.m. to 3 a.m.
She said that about
75% of people during
that time frame are
college students and
with the dollar menu
not being available at
that time, that makes
for a lot of money.
That's just three
businesses, that's not
even all the mom and
pop shops.
So, I guess we still
don't do our part
according to some, but
if that's not good
enough for you, let me
tell you a little about

believes
to
If I keep on saying to
myself that I cannot
do a certain thing, it is
possible that I may
end by really becoming incapable of doing
it. On the contrary, if I
have the belief that I
can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity
to do it even if I may
not have it at the
beginning."
I am a very negative person. It is just
how I am. I have never
been a optimistic person, I always imagine
the worst outcome in a
situation. It can be
practically anything,
and I will think of the
worst possible obstacle to occur. I do not
know what impulses
cause me to do this
often, it just comes
naturally.
I am the first person to say I cannot do
something. It does not
even matter if the task
is attempted; I will
repeatedly say I cannot do it. Even if the
task is manageable I
will turn it into something far too complex.
I honestly believe it is
the way my mind
works, even though it
is unhealthy.
With
this
unhealthy impulse, I
will eventually talk
myself into this fury
because I believe that
I cannot do it. This
then causes
more
stress than it is worth
and I am a mess by
the end of the situation.

I think it has a lot
do
with me being a

everything to be perfect, and I want it to
just fall into place,
once something is out
of order, it is done to
me.

Sarah Cox
There are days I
wake up in the best of
moods and I want
nothing more than to
have a good day, but
one tiny mess up causes the rest of the day
to be a blur. I refuse to
let imperfect things
roll off of my back. I
take everything so
personally and I do
not let things go.
Often
times, I
think I should be a
history major, because
I live for the past. I
cannot let experiences
that I feel have done
me wrong go. I will
worry about the outcome, and I will think
of different solutions
that could have solved
the issue better. I
dwell, over the simplest of things.
Recently, a few
friends of mine had
decided that enough
was enough. We were
tired of waking up
each morning dread-

ing what the day had
in store. The past couple of weeks have been
rough, with school,
social lives, and workour
toward
ing
be
the
careers. I will
admit
that
first to
being positive was the
last thing on my mind.
No surprise there
though.
We decided on a
pact that consisted of
nothing but positive
aspects. Our goal is to
stay positive for an
week.
We
entire
that when
agreed
times get hard, we will
turn to one another to
get through it. We are
all so close that we
know that no matter
what happens, we can
make it though. With
this mindset I truly
believed that it would
happen.
Though this pact
seems bullet proof, it
is not. It is harder
though for me than
the others. I am struggling mainly with
finding the positive in
every situation. I am a
believer
firm
in
"everything happens
for a reason," but
sometimes I wonder
why things must be so
negative.
For instance, I got
a test back earlier this
week. Accepting that I
passed was easy, but
getting over the fact
that I studied an
absurd amount for the
grade I received was
not so easy. I am the
person who always
thinks that those who
work the most should
get the best grades,
but since coming to
college that theory has
been shot.
I want to be able to
say that I have accepted that I get the grade
the professor thinks I

deserve, but I can't. I
firmly believe that
those who work more
get rewarded more,
not those who don't go
to class, don't work on
the assignments and
don't study. But somehow, those people
always pass. I want to
be rewarded for the
effort I put forth, not
the grade at the end of
the task.
In order for me to
turn this negative into
a positive, I took a lot
of time to reflect on
what I could change in
order for me to receive
a better grade next
time. I took that time
to better my efforts.
With this attempt I
hope to get a higher
grade next time.
I want to be a positive person. I want to
be able to wake up
every morning and be
joyful because I am
given a day to mold
whichever way I want
it to go. I do not want
with
to live life
regrets, I want to act,
react, and move on.
I do not want to sit
around thinking of the
comebacks I could
have had, or the grade

William Penn arrived in
Pennsylvania, in 1682

-In 1929, The New York Stock
Exchange crashed on Black
Tuesday, precipitating the Great
Depression.
i

—The National Organization for
Women was founded in 1966.

-1998, John Glenn, the first
American to orbit the Earth,
returned to space at age 77.
In 2004, European leaders

first constitution.

In many families
attending college after
high school is the only
way to go, and for the
most part, the children agree, but why?
Are they really on a
for
quest
higher
knowledge? Or do
they just want a place
to get away from their
parents and drink to
their heart's content?
In a small college
town,
like
Lock
it
Haven,
seems to be
the latter. In the past
couple of weekends
there have been a
numerous amount of
parties that have been
busted. Students that
choose to underage
drink know there is a
risk factor.
They know there is
a possibility to get
busted and cited. This
leads back to the
question at hand:
why? My argument is
that the town of Lock
Haven, as well as the

university, offer no
other options. There's
no mall, no skate
park, no park, no
where for students
under the age of 21 to
just hang out; except
Avenue 209, which is
usually packed wall to
wall.
However, there are
at least eight or more
bars and beer distributors in the 2.5 radius
of town. With those
odds it's no wonder
drinking is what it
comes to. If town
added something to
do, a hookah bar or a
sushi place, or some
type of modern shop,
besides Walmart, I
believe the underage
drinking
problem
would decrease significantly.
I know that right
now the town of Lock
Haven is having trouble with money, which
leads me to the question of why the cops
are on the prowl for
illegal drinking? They
know it happens, the
professors know it
happens, the parents

know it happens and
obviously
busting
party after party is
doing nothing to stop
it.
So, why make it
into a county wide
mission? Nothing will
stop underage drinking. Not only because
there is nothing to do
in Lock Haven, but
also
because
it's
ingrained in the college student's psyche.
The underage drinking problem in this
town is only a problem
because the town is
making it a problem.
The eleven street
officers of LHPD can't
stop something that is
almost tradition by
picking on frat houses.
Students will
drink before they are
21. Instead of trying
to end it, perhaps officers could help them
do it safely.
Many colleges have
escort services for
those who choose to
drink, 21 or under,
that ask no questions.
Their service brings
the students back to

wherever they live.
This eliminates hazardous walks home
and staying over at
strange houses.
Another way to
help avoid incidents,
like the one in Penn
State last weekend, is
for Resident Directors
and Assistants to not
be threatening. A lot
of students are afraid
to go back to the
dorms because they
don't want to be reprimanded by an angry
dorm employee, so
they stay where they
are, which could lead
to worse things that
being slapped with an
underage if it's a
house they
aren't
familiar with.
The goal of a police
squad is to serve and
protect.
If LHPD
wants to that for Lock
Haven University and
its students, they
should start to act as
someone there to help,
and not someone to
fear.

before her illness,
however she said it
has not changed her
outlook on the club.
"I feel like I need to
be involved because a
lot of people can't participate who have
worse cancers than
me," she said, adding
that she feels grateful
that there will be a
team for her at Relay

final game of round

won by Steph Herron.
Then came time for
the second and final
raffle of the evening
which proved that contestants of any age

Kelsey

Finally it came
down to the biggest
game of the evening,
the "Pink Out." In this
game, which lasted
over 20 minutes, the
contestants were trying to be the first to
cover
their whole

Tyler Emery won
the grand prize, the
Tic-Tac-Tote.
The majority of the
contestants had a
great time even if they
did not win.
"I had a great
time," said senior Kyla
Pugh. "I'm really glad
they raised so much
money for cancer."
CAC also raised
proceeds by selling tshirts and homemade

Lock Haven: Then and Now
The Heisey Museum

Lyndsey Hewitt
Photo Editor
lhewitt2@lhup.edu

Lock Haven students will
be given the opportunity to
learn more about the ghostly
legends of the LHU campus
this Halloween season.
In the past, students have
heard creepy stories and have
been told of paranormal
accounts in the various buildings on campus such as
Russell Hall, Sloan, the
Stevenson Library and more.
Students will be given the
opportunity to learn more
interesting information about
each building and their potential hauntings.
The Social Science Club on
campus will be holding a
Ghost Walk on the 28th, 29th
and 30th that tour these said
to be haunted buildings, as
well as tour Highland cemetery. There will even be a
real-life paranormal investigator on the walk. The Ghost
Walk is for students and the
general public. In order to go
on the walk, students are just
asked to meet in the lobby of

Raub at 6:30 p.m. The tour
will go on until approximately
9 p.m. It will cost $1.00 to go
on the walk and all proceeds
go towards Clinton County's
Historical Society and the
Heisey Museum.
The Ghost Walk is one of
many activities being held to
benefit the Heisey Museum in
coming time. From November
2nd through November 20th,
the Heisey Museum will be
holding a food drive. Anybody
who brings in any kind of nonperishable food is eligible for a
free tour of the Heisey House.
Many Lock Haven students
unfortunately do not know of
the Heisey Museum and all it
has to offer.
"We really want to reach
out to the students. Many of
them believe that there isn't
much to do, but in reality
there is so much cool stuffthis
town has to offer. The history
of Clinton County, and Lock
Haven alone is unbelievably
interesting," said the Heisey
Museum curator and resident
of the Lock Haven area for 19
years, Lou Bernard.
Lou suggested giving tours
at different hours to accommodate the normally irregu-

lar schedule of the average
college student.
"I really enjoy the students. I wish more of them
were aware of what the museum has to offer them. Perhaps
we could do later tours if they
were requested," said Lou.
The Heisey Museum's regular hours are currently 10
a.m. to 4 p.m. on weekdays,
and other hours by appointment. However, if tours and
general interest in seeing the
museum doesn't pick up,
these hours may be subject to
change due to budget cuts.
The current price for a tour
for a student with their student I.D. is $2.00.
Inside the Heisey House, it
is set up the way it would
have been in the 1800s. There
are many precious artifacts
on display, including some
from an archaeological dig,
which students have helped
with. One of the rare items
the museum is proud of is an
early American flag made by
Sarah Wilson, the great
granddaughter of Betsy
Wilson. There are only 5 in

Hall and will be featured as part of the LHU Ghost Walk.
Haven has one, which is currently on display. Another
great thing the museum has
to offer students is the possibility of an internship.
"LHU students of various
majors may perform an
internship for a college credit.
They will assist museum staff
in the day-to-day operations
of the museum, as well as
help out with projects like the
dig, and they also may create
displays and do research. I'll
teach the interns how to run a
museum and do historic
research. They'll often learn
things they're not taught in
school," said Lou Bernard.
The kinds of work students do while participating
in an internship at the museum varies. It ranges from day
to day research and paperwork and other exciting
things.

"Over the summer, intern
Megan Hansen, who is an
LHU senior and History
major, helped with our dig.
She also accompanied me into
some underground tunnels
under a local restaurant to get
photographs," said Lou.
The Heisey Museum is the
legacy of Clinton County's history. In addition to tours, the
museum will be open for
groups to hold meetings and
events. Also offered are many
educational
opportunities
including research, community service and volunteering.
Students are encouraged by
the museum to check it out in
the event they are struck with
boredom, or just generally
interested in learning more
about the town's history. It is
located at 362 East Water
Street, just up the street from
the courthouse.

Film lifts spirits "Up"

Families and students showed up at Price

on
Saturday, October 24,
for the presentation of
the
heart-warming
movie

"Up." Children and parents alike can all enjoy
the sweet humor provided in the critically
acclaimed film.

tion, all is not what it
seems. The admired
explorer appears friendly, yet uncomfortably
mysterious and creepy.
The ending of the
film is touching and the
overall film provides
many mature themes
such as loneliness,
friendship, and undying
love. The movie made
the young audience giggle and the parents
enjoyed quite a few
chuckles. Freshman Jess
Vines smiled and commented, '"Up' is an emotionally rewarding movie
which has the ability to
tug at every single one of
your heartstrings."
"Up" proved to be a
movie that parents could
enjoy as much their children. This is something
many family films are
lacking because they
draw in the children, but
do not have an appealing
quality or humor for
adult audiences. No matter if it was a parent,
child, or student, everyone left feeling happy
because of the sweet and
poignant animated tale.
Did you miss this great
movie? It will be released
on DVD November 10.

Spotlight: LHU's hidden talent
Student poet shares her passion
Jon Gerardi
Guest Writer
jgerardi(«lhup.edu

Stephanie Reynolds
doesn't believe in recycling. In fact, she
absolutely refuses to do
it.As she sits down in her
bedroom, classroom, or
even in her car as she
drives around Lock
Haven, she thinks of
new poems to write. She
does this because she
never uses the same
poem twice for any
event, ever.
Reynolds has been
writing poetry since she
first could pick up a pen.
For her, it's a way to
express herself and let
out her feelings.
write
"I
poetry
because it's a stress
times,"
reliever
at
Reynolds said. "I write
what I feel, what I think.
I write from true experiences, whether it's my
experience or someone
very close to me."
Those experiences
are meant to hit home
for a number of people,
not just for Reynolds or
the person that it's
about. The poems aren't
always about an enlightening topic or something
joyous, but at times
things that others would
be afraid to talk about.
"The kind of poetry I
like to write is poetry
that sends a message,
that will get people to
think and will make people come up to me afterwards and say, 'Thank

you. I needed to hear
that,"' Reynolds said. "I
don't write poetry or perform for the fame, butfor
people who need to be
taught a lesson or need
to know that there are
people going through the
same thing they are and
that there's help out
there."
Reynolds'
poetry
helps to open up the
healing process and can
be a way for people to
feel like there's help if
they need it without feeling vulnerable or afraid.
One example is her
gripping poem, "True
Story," a tale about
physical and mental
abuse a young woman
suffers from both men
and her own family.
"I did not go through
that, but someone close
to me has and it's her
story, translated for
other women who went
through the same thing,"
Reynolds said. 'The best
reaction I got from that
poem was when several
women and other poets
came up to me and said
'Thank you for sharing
that,' and said they
think it's time for them
to start the healing
process."
Reynolds enrolled at
Lock Haven University
in 2005 majoring • in
Communication Media.
In the semesters to follow, Reynolds minored
in theatre, pursuing her
ability to act and write
poetry to its fullest
extent.
Reynolds has been
involved in various
mediums while at Lock
Haven. She had her own
radio show when she

was a sophomore, she
performed again on the
radio on separate occasions as a disc jockey,
and she even was an
anchor for the studentrun television program
"Eagle Talon TV." In the
end, however, Reynolds
always comes back to
poetry while putting
these other adventures
aside for now at least.
Reynolds doesn't just
write for fun in her spare
time though, she does it
for various reasons. One
is the Lock Haven student-group
Lyrically
Speaking, of which
Reynolds became the
first female President
last year.
As
Lyrically
Speaking's president,
Reynolds coordinates
events, most of which
are
poetry-related,
throughout the semester. Prior to being president, Reynolds was the
Vice President and was
involved with this group
since her freshman year.
According to the
group,
Lyrically
is
Lock
Speaking
Haven's spoken word
group that features the
"most intelligent and
powerful voices on Lock
Haven's campus." The
members don't just write
poetry, but create different themes and exercise
their artistic abilities
through performances
for the community.
"Being the first
female President of
Lyrically Speaking was
a great thing," Reynolds
said. "Besides, being the
first to do anything is
usually always a great
thing."

LHU students make their own way in Europe
Tyler Kegolis
Staff Reporter
tkegolis(« lhup.edu
Don't get me wrong,
England and Paris were
pretty sweet, but our real
adventure in Europe had
just begun. Now my
blonde,
long-haired
friend CJ Picard and I
would be travel partners
for the next 35 days.
Other people in the class
flew home to the U.S.A.
or a different European
country in search of an
adventure of their own.
Until this point in the
voyage, our housing was
paid for, as well as two
meals a day and transportation costs, but CJ
and I now had to depend
on ourselves for an interesting European experience with a limited budget. Our clothes were still
soaked from the bathtubstyle cleaning we had

I

given them the night
before but hey, at least
they were clean.
Our primary focus on
our first homeless morning was to find somewhere we would be able
to sleep in the evening,
knowing we had to be
awake early for a day of
traveling to Venice, Italy,
for which we already had
plane tickets. CJ and I
threw our enormous
travel backpacks up over
our shoulders and went
in search of an internet
cafe and, ultimately, a
hostel.
It is simple to find a
hostel in Europe, but a
cheap and clean one
that is a bit more challenging. CJ had previous
travel experience all over
Asia and knew some
helpful routines that
would help us. We did
indeed find the "Aloha
Hostel" so we decided to
try it out.

...

CJ Picard hung their clothes out to dry.

Upon reaching the
street our hostel was on,
I looked up to notice a
sign that was supposed
to say "HOSTEL" but its
broken, missing, or
crooked letters made it
unreadable
an
to
unknowing person. We
figured it out, but this
being my first hostel
experience and the fact
that the French-speaking desk clerk could not
understand us, made me
a little nervous at first.
We eventually managed to book our room,
and holding our breath,
walked in to find four
bunk beds all unoccupied. The hardwood floor
tiny room appeared to be
clean to the naked eye
and didn't smell funny,
so we decided we would
the
spend
night.
Immediately after our
brief room inspection, we
found a park where the
sun was shining down, so
we took advantage of its
warm rays and hung out
our wet laundry to dry.
People were reading
in the grass, children
were zooming around on
pedal bikes and about a
dozen little birds were
digging around in the
grass for worms. I myself
was lying in the grass
writing in the journal
that I had brought with
me. Everyone certainly
seemed to be feeling
alright, except for a man
dressed in a dark police
uniform who strolled up
to us slowly. Surely this
had to do with our laundry hanging on the park
fence. Not being able to
communicate effectively

with this gentleman and
repeating several times
over "desole" (which is
"sorry" in French), we
began removing our
clothes from the fence.
"Foreign jail for hanging
our clothes out to dry," I
thought to myself; this
would not be in our best
interest. The policeman
smiled
and
slowly
walked away from us.
We grabbed cheap burgers to eat and headed
back to our hostel to
relax for the evening. We
placed our dry clothes in
our big bulky backpacks
and rested up for the
traveling which would
take place the following
day.
To make things a little easier on our wallets
and to ensure us a more
interesting adventure,
we had signed up for
accounts at www.couchsurfing.com before leavfor
ing
Europe.
Couchsurfing.com is a
non-profit
website
designed specifically to
network travelers with
hosts in over 230 countries or territories in the
world.
Members create indepth profiles about
themselves and include
pictures. When a member decides to travel to a
particular destination,
they search for a possible
willing host. From there
on, the "couch surfer"
and their host message
each other back and
forth, as many times as
they wish, and figure out
if they will be a suitable
pair. Profiles include positive and negative corn-

ments from previously
paired people about each
other so this gives other
members something to
base their pairing decision as well. Hosts are
encouraged to make the
visitors stay with them
unique in that they share
something with them,
whether it is an interest
or a cultural experience.

Through
we
met a man named
Massimo who lived a
short five-minute direct
train ride from Venice,
Italy. Massimo's profile
was unique. He had previously hosted over 400
people from over 20
countries and had nearly
perfect positive feedback
from every surfer or host
he encountered. This
number was
much
greater than other profiles. Everything seemed
Couchsurtuing.com,

to be perfect except
Massimo's "unique experience" that we would
share,
which
was
wrestling. His profile did
list he was an experienced "judo wrestler,"
but the entire thing just
seemed to be a bttle bit
strange. After messaging
Massimo several times,
we came to the conclusion
that although
maybe unique, our stay
with him would be a safe
and memorable experience. We decided weeks
before our arrival to let
Massimo know the exact
days we wished to stay
and he accepted our
requests. Little did we
know at the time, the
last night we were
spending in our Paris
hostel would be the last
restful one for awhile,
and Massimo, well, he
was definitely unique.

that most college stu-

dents can relate to; not
Reaving much room to
„shove a granola bar in
mouth, let alone a
toothbrush. But Lock
Haven University sen-

ior Brandy Peifer is not
complaining a bit; not
this year, at least.
"I can say for the
first time in my college
career I am appreciating the busy schedule,"
said Peifer, "I might
even go as far as saying
I enjoy it."
What's with the
change in attitude, you
ask? Good question.
After a college loan
denial
left
this
Communications major
so close, yet so far away
from walking across the
stage of her college
graduation she decided
to put her talents to use
and find an alternative
source of tuition money.
That source just happened to be an awardwinning talk show host
named
Ellen
Degeneres.
"I'm a big fan of her
show and I also happen
to be a contest junky,"
said Peifer as she feverishly typed a report on
her laptop, "I had been
watching a "stimulus
package" giveaway she
had been doing on her
show and a light bulb
went off."
And what a bright
light bulb it was.
"There were thousands of entries and
emails from people in
dire need of money, I
just needed to find a
way to make mine

'

stand out from the
rest," Peifer explained.
One day later a call

from a producer of the
Degeneres
"Ellen
Show" left her breathless. Peifer had wowed
the producer enough
with her Ramen noodle
eating, college dreamscrashing email to score
a second look.
"I just remember my
hands shaking as I
waved all my roommates into the room for
support",
recalled
Peifer, "I had to really
get the point across
that I needed this
money more than anyone else in the nation; it
wasn't an easy job."
But after the producer called again the
next day, and the day
after that, she knew
she had to be saying
something right. "They
kept making me practice screaming on the
phone as if Ellen
Degeneres was telling
me I won," she laughed,
pulling out the newspaper articles from the
event, "It got a little
irritating to practice
winning when they
kept telling me I only
had a one-in-a-million
chance."
The
only
thing
Brandy Peifer didn't
realize was that she
was a one-in-a-million
girl. Just finishing up
her junior year and
waiting for a call for yet
another interview with
the producer of the
show, Brandy Peifer
decided to get some
cleaning done.
"It was just another
day and I had a lot of
stuff to get done, so I
decided to start by
cleaning the bathroom," said Peifer.
"Just another day"
turned into a completely different story as
soon as the Tim
tone
Mcgraw ring

began to play from her
cell phone.
"I answered the
phone and knew right
away that it wasn't the
voice of the producer I
had been talking to all
reminisced
week,"
"As
Peifer,
soon as the
person on the other line
said 'this is Ellen
Degeneres' I dropped
the mop and didn't
know whether to be
mortified that I smelled
like toilet cleaner or
scream instead."
Well, she decided to
scream
instead.
Cameras, people and a
cash machine flooded
West Church Street,
causing the people of
the small town to wonder what brought a
national
television
show to Lock Haven,
Pennsylvania;
The
answer, a college girl
who took a chance.
'The rest of the day
was a blur of money
and phone calls, my
didn't
mom
even
believe me at first,"
recalled
Peifer. Of
course, no one could
blame her; it would be
hard to believe that
your daughter had just
been the star of a
nationally-aired television show.
"I knew that she had
signed up and had been
going through the
process of being interviewed," said Brenda
Gilligbauer, Brandy's
mother, "but, she made
it sound like a slim
chance she would win, I
thought she was just
pulling my leg."

Brandy was not pulling

two and a half hours
just to interview me,"
said Peifer, "it was so
strange that I could be
the center of any news
story." Brandy Peifer
did not just get to be
the center of the news
but also got to be the
writer.
"It was pretty cool
that the Lock Haven
Express did a story on
me and then asked me
to write a story myself,
said Peifer. "Looks good
in my portfolio."
At the end ofthe day
Peifer walked away
with $1,500 in gift
cards to Old Navy,
Sears, and Target, a
mountain bike, a gift
basket full of dog food
from Ellen Degeneres's
own brand of Halo dog
food and $3,000.
"Sometimes I still
can't believe it happened to me of all people," said Peifer, "but it
is
something
I'll
remember forever and
it is a nice conversation
starter when people
walk up to me and say

'hey I saw you on TV.'"
After all of the buzz
and the cameras, Peifer
is now a few weeks into
her senior year at Lock
Haven University and
has her sights set on
graduating next spring.
"All the money has
gone to my tuition, all
the gift cards have been
spent, the only thing
that is still around the
house that even hints
that
the
Ellen
Degeneres
show
stopped by on that
Thursday in May is the
nine bags of Halo dog
food still left over.' she
said, "and Bo loves the
food. He stands by his
bowl in the morning
waiting to scarf it
down".
So, life is back to
normal and Peifer's 15
minutes of fame have
expired, which is in no
way a bad thing for the
student. "I'm taking as
many classes as possible and getting the
most I can get out of my
last year here," said
Peifer as she packed

her bag and got ready
to head to her third
class of the day.
"I can definitely say
that the experience
made me appreciate a
college education a lot
more and I'm glad it
happened bui I'm oven
happier to be hack to
classes, believe it or
not."
This year Brandy
Peifer plans to take
everything one day at a
time, concentrate on
school, work and keep
herself
busy.
"Sometimes Pm so tired
when I wake up in the
morning and just want
to sleep all day." said
Peifer making her way
to the front door of her
apartment.
"But then I think of
how I almost wasn't
able to come back to college and the reason I
am still here on my way
to graduating."
And
with
that.
Brandy walked outside
and made her way
toward campus.

HOROSCOPES

LEO

SAGITTARIUS

From the moment your alarm clock goes off, you
might feel like today isn't going to be your best
day, but if you devote some time to figuring out
ways to make the tasks ahead a little easier,
you'll move throughout the day with total determination! Use your creative energy to your best
advantage.

Love is in the air. Even though you've been
resisting the pull, it's got you all wrapped up in
something sweet. It's okay to make the first
move, and you just might have to do that if your
admirer is shy, because we know you certainly
aren't. Now's the time to make the best impression possible.

TAURUS

You're great in times of crisis, especially when
someone you love is involved. It may seem like a
situation today is escalating into something
threatening, but you know exactly how to deal wait until the time is right and if necessary, stand
up for yourself, what you believe, and the person
you love. You know exactly how to stay in the
clear of any sort of detrimental outcome.

VIRGO

CAPRICORN

Now is not the time to push any limits. It's important to harness your stubbornness and just let
everything play out on its own without interference. You do a good job at holding a smile and
keeping your composure today, but be prepared
for other energies to continuously push you, and
hot necessarily in the best way. You just need to
keep your cool and brush it all off. You know it's
not Worth it anyway.

You're attractive qualities are drawing more and
more people to you than ever before. The best
part is, they're at your calibar. Just let the good
times roll and enjoy the new people coming into
your life. Such a feeling of fullness in your life is
long overdue. Try not to overwhelm yourself and
just allow everything to happen in good time.

Your ready to focus on yourself. It seems like at
least for the time being, everyone you've been so
worried about is perfectly settled
but where
does that leave you? You deserve to spend some
quality time with yourself. Do what makes you
happy. Tomorrow you'll feel refreshed and better
than ever.

GEMINI

LIBRA

AQUARIUS

Your not used to feeling like someone doesn't like
you, considering your quite the charmer, but it's
important to realize that some people just don't
know how to appreciate the great qualities you
have to offer. You might face a troubling obstacle
today, but if you just take a step back and use
your creativity to your best advantage, you'll see
great results.

If you face drama today, it's nothing you can't
handle, and you know it. You're a peacemaker;
always have been and always will be. It's a beautiful attribute that your sign is known for. Just
mediate the situation as if you already know the
outcome, and it's in your favor. You'll be pleasantly surprised by the way it turns out.

As your schedule starts to free up for awhile, try
to fit in some time for the people you love most.
You love meeting new people and always attract
new and different people almost everyday, but
you can't forget about the ones who have been
around through thick and thin. Take your significant other somewhere different today - plan
something romantic. You know how to get in
touch with your romantic side.

CANCER

SCORPIO

PISCES

You may have been noticing a change in feelings
towards a significant person in your life, and of
course you're entitled to those feelings, so don't
feel guilty. It's important to remember that even
though your connection with someone may be
dwindling, no one deserves to have their feelings
crushed, so try to make sure you handle the situation in the most respectful way possible. You
never know, you might change your mind and you
don't want to burn any bridges!

It's time to get outside and enjoy nature. You
know how much you've missed the outdoors, especially since it seems like you've been surrounded
by nothing but terrential downpour lately. Take
a loved one or a new friend with you the perfect
little adventure to lift your spirits and the spirits
of those around you.

Make sure your friends know you're there for
them. Today and the next few days ahead may
hold some troubling times for a friend or friends
of yours. You know exactly how to lend the perfect support to those in need, so even if you have
the option to do something more appealing, try to
remember how important it Is to be there for your
closest friends.

A. He doesn't leave much for the imagination. Some people would get highly offended. Feminist writers would have a field day saying he's a chauvinist pig.

Q. I've read your own prose...
A. I would say yes, I base my work on Bukowski. Mostly the way he writes, not subject matter.
Basically, I'm not following the form and using the language by putting it together in a way it would
be spoken. I've never really tried to describe it.
Q. Do you have a favorite of his?
A. Love is a Dog from Hell: Poems, 1974-1977.
Q. What can you tell me about fiction workshop? Enjoying it?
A. I am not enjoying fiction workshop. I don't like being forced to write. I think you get writer's block
if you're at that point when you're constantly writing for teacher's revisions when you should be writing for yourself.
Q. But

are you happy with it?

Q. Any hints for the aspiring writer?

A. Don't be too hard on yourself. Try looking at the work as something that you have to let the muse
find you. Sometimes you have to go looking for the muse, but sometimes that's part of the work.
