OPINION | POLITICS

Impeachments get ugly, just look at UA

BY RANDALL ECK

@reck999

D

emocrats in the U.S. House of Representatives impeached President Donald Trump. What is going to happen next in the U.S. Senate is still anyone’s guess. Based on my experiences, I think American politics is going to get more grotesque and outrageous.

While covering campus politics as a news reporter for the Daily Wildcat, I witnessed a protracted impeachment battle firsthand.

The University of Arizona’s Graduate and Professional Student Council attempted to impeach their longest-serving member.

The GPSC impeachment saga included election fraud, a police investigation and secret recordings. Sound familiar?

From my coverage, I learned two lessons: impeachments get ugly and, if mishandled, Impeachments can threaten the legitimacy of an entire organization.

The two-semester-long saga started with, surprisingly, the resignation of a president.

GPSC President Zachary Brooks resigned the presidency, citing personality conflicts on the GPSC Executive Board in the summer of 2016.

The real trouble started when the GPSC held a special election the following semester

to fill the many empty seats on their general council. Unexpectedly, Brooks was elected as the online college’s representative through 13 write-in votes. Turnout for GPSC elections often fails to reach 5% of the graduate student population.

Christopher Hargraves, GPSC’s acting election director at the time, invalidated Brooks’ victory, however. Hargraves realized that GPSC’s online voting system had allowed all students, rather than just students in online programs, to vote in the election.

Brooks appealed the decision to the GPSC Executive Board where he found an ally in Jim Collins, GPSC treasurer. While the board could not substantiate fraud because voting is anonymous, they voted to uphold Hargraves’ decision.

Collins was not happy. There was another flaw in GPSC’s voting system Collins said: It allowed students who had not paid their tuition in full to vote, in direct opposition to GPSC’s constitution. In Collins’ views, if Brooks’ election had to be invalidated, so did the election of every member of the board. A majority of the board disagreed and the matter was put to rest—except it was not.

The Daily Wildcat obtained a recording of this closed-door meeting, setting off a battle between GPSC’s big personalities that would overshadow their core mission for months.

The day after my article exploring the additional information revealed in the tapes was published, an impeachment petition was filed against Collins for violating GPSC rules, revealing confidential information and creating a culture of fear and retaliation at the

GPSC. At GPSC’s next meeting, Collins, the 19-year veteran of graduate student government, faced his peers and the 30-count impeachment petition.

The impeachment hearing was premature, sloppy and personal. A motion to enter executive session and remove journalists from the room failed to gain a simple majority.

GPSC would have to air its dirty laundry in public.

Collins was given only minutes to make his case. He found allies in Mariia Khorosheva, GPSC secretary, and Brandon Smith, a representative for the College of Science.

Daniel Kasper, GPSC assembly chair, and Jasmine Sears, GPSC administration vice president, led the charge against Collins, arguing he failed to perform his duties as treasurer.

In the end, Sears and Kasper fell well short of the necessary votes to remove Collins, but they were not deterred. The circus would continue.

After a winter recess, Sears returned to GPSC with a suite of retroactive term limits that would disqualify Collins and his ally Khorosheva from the upcoming 2017 GPSC general elections. Collins was furious, accusing Sears of a “backdoor impeachment”.

The term limits passed with a majority vote.

To stop the term limits from coming into force, Collins turned to GPSC’s Supreme Court, composed of students from the College of Law. The court ruled that the term limits could be enacted following a re-vote. That same day, a guest speaker attended GPSC’s meeting to

present and answer questions following the court’s decision.

With Collins’ future on the GPSC all but sealed, he was irate, according to Sarah Netherton, GPSC development administrator.

Collins began to argue incessantly with the guest speaker and approached the guest speaker’s chair, Netherton said.

The room became tense, according to a police report from that day. Before Netherton could escort the speaker out of the room, she had to step between the speaker and Collins, who was barring the speaker from exiting.

A few minutes later, University of Arizona Police Department officers arrived and interviewed GPSC members, which culminated in the arrest of Collins for disorderly conduct. The guest speaker filed a No Contact order with the UA but declined to press charges.

The GPSC never formally voted to remove Collins. Most of Collins’ remaining alliances on the council soured after his arrest. GPSC did re-vote to pass the term limits at their next meeting, ensuring Collins would never again be able to serve on the council.

After two long semesters of embarrassment and petty personality conflict, the GPSC could finally get back to doing its job: representing and serving graduate and professional students. A year later, the GPSC discussed a proposal to eliminate term limits in an effort to help fill the council’s numerous empty seats.

NEWS | PHARMACY GRADUATE

Pharmacy student selected for competitive program University of Arizona student Shana Shriber, who worked as a pharmacy technician for 13 years, was selected for the Junior Commissioned Officer Extern Program with the U.S. Public Health Service

BY ANA TERESA ESPINOZA @anaespi2405

Shana Shriber is rewriting the rules with her successful career as a pharmacist. Her perseverance, compassion and strength have been driving forces for her pharmaceutical pursuits. Shriber was selected to serve as a Commissioned Corps Junior officer through the Junior Commissioned Officer Extern Program with the U.S. Public Health Service, a highly competitive pharmaceutical program.

Her grades and academic achievements were not the only things that got her there. Lieutenant Commander Trisha Chandler, who worked closely with Shriber in the program, would say it was Shriber’s heart that set her apart from the rest.

“She has great work ethic and a passion for helping people,” Chandler said. “She wanted to serve the underserved population.”

Shriber worked as a pharmacy technician for about 13 years prior to attending school. In the state of Arizona, it is not required to be licensed to be a technician. However, she decided to further her career and studied for five years. When her son asked her why she hadn’t gone to school before, she simply stated that she wasn’t ready yet.

During her time at the University of Arizona, Shriber discovered the Junior Commissioned Officer Student Training and Extern Program, or JRCOSTEP. The selection process was described as daunting, as the participant becomes a federal employee. She was sent to work at Phoenix Indian Medical Center and served 13 weeks. The time served can vary from 30 to 120 days, depending on how long the participant wishes to be there; Shriber chose to be there for the entire 120 days.

“I just wanted to soak up as much information as I could while I was there,” Shriber said.

She has now graduated to senior COSTEP, which means she can be sent anywhere in the United States to serve.

According to Kristin Shelledy, a close

“She’s a very compassionate and caring person. She’s always there for her friends and anyone in need,” Shelledy said. “Even if you would

Although she makes a living by selling medicine, she aims to help people get off them.

“I like to remind my patients to

stay healthy and offer them dietary or medicinal reminders to make sure they are living their best life,” Shriber said.

Apart from the accolades she has accumulated over the years, her proudest achievement is being a good mother to her son. She said she worked to be someone he can be proud of.

Her son suffers from cystic fibrosis, a rare disease that causes pulmonary and digestive problems. Shriber has found ways to utilize what she has learned in caring for her son to become a better health care physician.

She plans to continue helping those who are underserved. Her passion, then and now, continues to be leading people to a better life.

OPINION | WASTE NOT

Clickers: An unnecessary cost

BY KAYLEIGH COOK @kayleig17913589

W

elcome back, Wildcats! A new year is upon us, and with that year comes new possibilities and opportunities, especially for college students — and new financial stress. Not only are tuition costs due, but each class comes with some sort of technology or book that the student is responsible for purchasing. Among one of the most well-known — and most hated — products students are forced to buy at the University of Arizona is the clicker.

If you’re one of the lucky few students who is blissfully unaware of clickers, allow me to fill you in: Clickers are very expensive pieces of technology that some professors use in large classes in order to take attendance and give

quizzes on lectures. The concept is pretty straightforward, and it’s a handy tool for professors who have anywhere from 70-400 students in their classes.

But the price is somewhat of a hefty one: Clickers are $80 from the UA BookStores, including a subscription. You can find a way to purchase a clicker for cheaper than this, which typically is found with ease online. However, if you do end up finding a clicker for, say, $50, you still have to purchase a subscription in order to use it, which costs at least $17.99.

The most frustrating part of clickers is that for only the cost of the subscription, you can download an app on any smartphone for free and use it as a clicker. It works really well, and the only extra step professors have to take is to open the polling to mobile devices. It is quick and easy, but most importantly, it’s cost-effective and more sustainable for students.

Unfortunately, most professors will reply with a blunt “no” or “check the syllabus” (which means no) when asked if phones can be used instead of clicker

population?

No, $80 is not a lot of money. But for students who are in this type of debt to get an education, every penny saved makes a massive difference. Buying an unnecessary piece of technology when there are other just as useful options is a frustrating situation to be in, and can determine whether or not a student is able to eat or pay rent that week. I call on professors and departments to rethink their “clickers only” device policy for the well-being and financial stability of their students.

devices. I am not sure why this policy exists, especially in classes that don’t penalize you for scrolling through social media the whole hour anyway. They force you to buy an expensive device for seemingly no reason other than to spend more money at the university.

I know most people are probably thinking, $80 isn’t the end of the world in the grand scheme of college costs, and I wholeheartedly agree. That statement is problematic within itself, however.

Tuition for an in-state student at the UA is $12,600 per year, plus at least another $2,000 in various fees and books, on top of housing arrangements, whether you live on campus or not. Attending a fouryear university without scholarships costs well over $50,000, which is a lot to put on a person who probably just turned 18 years old and more than likely doesn’t understand finances or the weight of paying back tens of thousands of dollars in loans. One can’t help but wonder: Is this yet another way for the universityindustrial complex to wring out another penny from a vulnerable student

Desert Dream Ice Cream brings East Coast to Fourth Ave.

BY ISABELLA BARRON @Bellambarron

Blending the old with the new, Desert Dream Ice Cream is still the new kid on Fourth Avenue, but they bring a new taste to an old business.

Just around the corner, on the corner of Fourth Avenue and Ninth Street, Desert Dream Ice Cream has been satisfying Fourth Avenue shoppers since Nov. 2018. Not long after the shop’s first anniversary on the avenue, it seems to be faring well.

Desert Dream Ice Cream became Fourth Avenue’s resident ice creamery when the business moved into the old location of Isabella’s Ice Cream. Desert Dream Ice Cream is currently owned and operated by 22-year-old Zech Bergeron.

“Fourth Avenue is something new every day,” Zech Bergeron said. “One day it’s the mermaid parade. Another day it’s the street fair and then the car show and then a march for climate change. Being on Fourth Avenue is like vacation, a place for gathering of friends, trying new foods and a fun touch of history throughout it all.”

Although the ice creamery is still in it’s budding stages on the avenue, it has a much longer history.

Former owner Alden Greene opened the business as DownEast Ice Cream

Desert Dream is different because it is family owned and operated” — HEATHER BERGERON

40 years earlier in Boothbay Harbor, Maine. After moving to Tucson, Greene changed the name to suit the city’s Sonoran aesthetic and reopened on 1058 N. Campbell Ave. “[Greene] is a master and taught Zech so much, I think it’s the best ice cream I’ve ever tasted and I don’t even love sweets,” Heather Bergeron, Zech Bergeron’s mother, said in a text message. “Desert Dream is different because it is family owned and operated; although Zech is not technically in [Greene]’s family, [Greene] sort of adopted him and invested in him.”

Zech Bergeron bought the business from Greene in 2018. When Greene was looking to retire, Zech Bergeron, a Tucson native, was just getting started.

Greene sold Zech Bergeron all of his original ice cream recipes and even taught him how to make it. “[Greene] was reluctant at first, but he still agreed to sell us the recipes with the agreement that we wouldn’t change them and keep the quality he had,” Zech Bergeron said. “I didn’t want to change it either way. I loved his project and everything about this store.”

Desert Dream Ice Cream has 36 house-made flavors, courtesy of Greene. Each flavor is inspired by Greene’s roots on the East Coast.

“There’s love in the ice cream and in these recipes; they have been in the making for the past 40 years,” Zech Bergeron said. “It’s a taste of the East Coast in Tucson.”

Zech Bergeron has continued the ice cream shop with the help and support

of his family. Zech Bergeron’s brother, Noah Bergeron, partnered with him to get the store up and running. His mother, Heather Bergeron, said she spends a lot of time with her son at the store.

As a mother, Heather Bergeron was worried for her son when she first learned of his plans to take ownership of the shop — especially considering her son’s age. Despite her fears, however, she said she “couldn’t be more proud of how he rose to the occasion.”

“I am astounded by all that he brings to this business every day,” Heather Bergeron said in a text message. “He is always strategizing and thinking of ways to make the Desert Dream

Zech Bergeron said he felt Desert Dream Ice Cream stood out from other mom and pop’s because of the combination of the experience he got from Greene along with his “young and new energy.”

Zech Bergeron’s plans for the shop are uncertain, he said. He doesn’t want to be the owner of a grand franchise with hundreds of locations.

His hope is to build his brand and sell ice cream to the majority of local shops in the downtown area.

CATE REESE 25 CELEBRATES WITH Destiny Graham after watching a teammate score. Reese is known for being one of the University of Arizona’s top players.

UA women’s basketball needs a change

BY JUSTIN PIERCE @Jpiercesd

Cate Reese is one of the best recruits Arizona has landed in a very long time.

She was the first McDonald’s All-American since Adia Barnes to commit to Arizona.

Reese has been a big reason why Arizona has reshaped their whole program. Reese has averaged 11.8 points per game and 6.8 rebounds per game since beginning her career at Arizona. The sophomore has a big opportunity to become one of Arizona’s most popular and well-known players in the women’s college basketball program. Her potential is very high and could eventually get her into the WNBA. Arizona just faced Oregon at the McKale Center last weekend, and the overwhelming support for college basketball’s top player Sabrina Ionescu was incredible. She was signing autographs for fans wearing her jersey at the McKale Center. The “Fighting Ducks” jerseys worn by many fans have been making their way worldwide. For example,

the Minnesota Timberwolves’ Jordan Bell rocked a No. 20 “Fighting Ducks” jersey. The thing about the No. 20 jersey is that it’s the same number as the year.

So for the 2020-21 season, teams would sell basketball jerseys with No. 21 and no name on the back of the jersey.

So, for each men’s basketball school in the NCAA, that school can only sell the game jersey with the jersey number matching the year and no name on the back. For example, in the 2019-20 season, schools sell No. 20 jerseys. Coincidentally, Ionescu’s jersey number is 20 and Nike came out with a jersey collection that says “Fighting Ducks,” which are the exact jerseys that the women’s basketball team wears. Ionescu allowed the school to profit off her jersey number because she wants to spread her popularity and get more fans involved in watching women’s basketball.

She is setting all sorts of records for the Oregon Ducks, including tying NBA Hall of Famer Gary Payton for the most career assists in PAC-12 men’s and women’s basketball history with 938.

I’m not saying Reese will do this, but she has the potential to break many records.

If Cate Reese wore 21 next season, many Arizona alumni could wear the No. 21 jersey. This would give the women’s basketball program more exposure and this could help the team land recruits and create a basketball school for both men’s and women’s basketball.

The PAC-12 has been a powerhouse over the last few seasons, with Stanford always being a top-tier program, Oregon appearing in their first ever Final Four and more teams like Arizona, being thrust into the AP Top 25 Poll for the first time in over a decade. The Wildcats’ alumni have backed up Arizona, with Adia Barnes coming back to coach Arizona after her coaching tenure at Washington. If Cate Reese can reach the super stardom that Oregon’s Ionescu has reached nationally, this could give more viewership to women’s basketball and could create a brighter future for the women’s basketball program.

UA works with Operation Hat Trick to support veterans

BY MADDIE MCCORMICK @maddiemae_18

Students have likely noticed the mannequins in the University of Arizona BookStores decked out in camouflage and an “OHT” logo.

OHT stands for Operation Hat Trick, a nonprofit organization founded by Dot Sheehan in 2008. According to its website, Sheehan noticed that veterans returning from deployment wanted hats to cover their scars, burns and surgical incisions that resulted from their severe head trauma.

OHT originally donated hats to service members and veterans, but the program has evolved. Now, it fundraises for the rehabilitation of military veterans and wounded service members.

Katherine Schenck, assistant director of trademarks and licensing for the bookstore, said the UA raised and donated $14,500 to the Fisher House of Tucson through its partnership with Operation Hat Trick in 2018.

“Specifically, with Arizona, we partner

with Operation Hat Trick and we cobrand merchandise, so shirts, hats, sweatshirts, everything,” Schenck said.

“It’s got the University of Arizona logo and the Operation Hat Trick logo. Part of the money raised by selling this product is donated back to Operation Hat Trick, and then Operation Hat Trick donates on the University’s behalf.”

Since it was founded, OHT has partnered with athletic associations, such as the NHL and MLB, and with colleges across the country. Sheehan determines the beneficiary of the funds raised through the sale of OHT-sponsored products. She came to the UA last year to do just that.

“Last year was the first year that we really did a lot with Operation Hat Trick, and we didn’t know where we wanted the money to go,” Schenck said. “We knew we wanted to stay in Tucson so it would be local, because we have such a large military and veteran community here in Tucson.”

After touring the Veterans Affairs campus, Sheehan chose the Arizona Fisher House of Tucson as the beneficiary for the UA. The

Fisher House temporarily houses families of wounded service members and veterans who live too far away to make daily visits.

“It’s on the VA campus, so they’re close and it’s convenient, and it’s totally free,” Schenck said.

The Fisher House runs entirely on donations, so the bookstores are pushing the sale of OHT products to give back to the military community. OHT-UA attire can be purchased on the bookstores website.

“We are looking next year to include a scholarship for the [Veterans Education and Transition Services] Center as part of our fundraising efforts,” Schenck said. “So we’ll still be increasing the amount of money that goes to the Fisher House just by continuing to increase our efforts around Operation Hat Trick, but then also adding in a portion where some of the money would go to a scholarship fund for the VETS Center.”

Schenck explained that scholarship funding for veterans with the GI Bill, for example, is very inconsistent and can be revoked at any time.

“It actually happens, unfortunately, a lot,

where a veteran will be in school and it’s being paid for and then they’ll find out like a month before the next semester starts that they lost their funding and they can’t go to school anymore,” Schenck said. “It’s just the way that government funding works. We’re looking to set up a scholarship fund, so when stuff like that does happen, they aren’t forced to drop out of school.”

Aside from purchasing OHT products from the bookstores, UA students looking to support Tucson’s military community can also write letters to deployed service members. Jake Wright, former assistant director of general merchandise, explained the letter writing initiative.

“The letter writing is something that the bookstore itself is doing along with Operation Hat Trick,” Wright said. “We’re doing it within the store, and it’s really to have students or faculty members on campus or families come in and write letters to soldiers that are deployed so they have something from the States. You can just come in and ask about that [letter writing], and you’ll be able to write letters.”

SPORTS | QUESTIONING COACH

Should Arizona men’s basketball fans be happy with where Miller has taken the program?

BY JACK COOPER @jackwcooper23

After almost every Arizona loss, especially this year, we’ve seen all the tweets about head coach Sean Miller: “Fire Miller,” “Time to move on from Miller,” “Can he win the big game?” But is Arizona men’s basketball really at that point yet? Looking back over his first nine and a half seasons, Miller has been relatively average.

There are multiple different types of games and tournaments that I looked at when deciding if Miller has been able to win a “big game,” such as games against ranked teams, non-conference tournaments, the Pac-12 tournament and the NCAA tournament.

Before we get into looking at his records in these games and tournaments, we’re going to look at some of his awards he’s earned while at Arizona. He received three Pac-12 tournament championships (’15, ’17 and ’18), five Pac-10/12 regular-season championships (’11, ’14, ’15, ’17 and ’18) and three Coach of the Year awards in the Pac-12 (’11, ’14 and ’17). He also won the Diamond Head Classic championship, NIT season tip-off championship, Maui Invitational championship and a Wooden Legacy championship.

That’s quite an impressive resume he’s been adding to, but is it enough for Arizona fans, the same fans who were used to going to the NCAA tournament every year since the ’80s until Miller’s first season? This is the same program that’s gone to the Final Four four times from 1988 until 2001, with 2001 marking the last appearance in the Final Four. Fans are certainly growing anxious.

Miller’s all-time record is 397-141, and while at Arizona, he sits at 277-94 after the win over Colorado. But Miller has been largely unremarkable when it comes to big games.

When Arizona has played against teams in the top-25 during the regular season, his record is 18-17. Against the top-10, his record is 7-7. For comparison, Bill Self at Kansas is 98-50 against the top-25 since 2003. He has seven more seasons than Miller but more than double the amount of wins than losses.

Another part of looking at how Miller has fared in big games is seeing how he’s done in the Pac-10/12 tournament. His

overall record is 17-7 with three conference championships. However, his record when he’s gotten to the championship is 3-3.

To his credit though, he lost his first three championship appearances but has won his last three.

Now let’s look at how he’s done in the most important games of the season: the NCAA tournament. Out of his 10 seasons so far he’s made the tournament seven times.

Miller has also lost in the first round of the NIT tournament back in 2012 and has not played in any postseason tournament twice.

He has an all-time record of 17-7 but has lost some very heartbreaking games, including back-to-back losses against Wisconsin in the Elite Eight. His team also fell to Kemba Walker and the UConn Huskies back in his second season with Derrick Williams.

In 2011, in the closing seconds against UConn, Arizona had two chances in the final seconds to make a 3-pointer to take the lead, but Derrick Williams and Jamelle Horne missed both shots and the rest is history. A few years later against Wisconsin in 2014, Nick Johnson had a chance in the final seconds of overtime but couldn’t get his shot off in time. If any of those shots had gone in, we’d be looking at a much different Arizona program with potentially multiple championships by now.

Sure, there were those games in the Elite Eight, but there were also two games in the Sweet Sixteen that came down to the final seconds as well. In 2013, Arizona lost when Ohio State made a 3-pointer with two seconds left. In 2016, the Wildcats ran into an Xavier team, who shocked them and won by two after Alonzo Trier couldn’t tie the game in the last seconds.

There are many moments that define a program and coach, but these moments do not seem to be as much on Miller as they are on the players and just making shots. I understand that in 2016 Miller needed to figure out ways for Lauri Markkanen to get touches and shots, but they were still in the game until the end.

Then there are the games where Arizona was just completely unprepared for. The first of the two was in 2016 when Wichita State came out and dominated the Wildcats from beginning to end. Arizona only lost by 10, but the final score was no indication of how

severely outplayed Arizona was. And then the game in 2018. We all remember it as if it were yesterday, the game against Buffalo.

The first half was tight, with the Bulls winning by two, but in the second half, Buffalo looked like a different team and ran Arizona off the court, falling 89-68.

With as much skill that’s involved in sports, there also comes a healthy amount of luck. For example, being in the right place at the right time. If a half-court buzzer-beater would actually go in for Arizona and Miller,

he just seems to be right on the other side of it, especially in March.

Yeah, there have been great moments, like blowing out Duke in the Sweet Sixteen or Derrick Williams working his magic against Memphis and Texas to come out just barely on top. But the fans, especially the ones in Tucson, are only going to be patient for so long, and if Miller can’t get this program to a Final Four or championship soon, that patience might run out.

ARTS & LIFE | ART EXHIBIT

ANA BELTRAN | THE DAILY WILDCAT

THE ARIZONA DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS displayed an exhibit on Jan. 16 at the University of Arizona Museum of Art, showcasing work from its program “Hobbycraft.” The art was created and curated by inmates currently incarcerated in the Arizona State Prison Complex and will remain on display until March 29.

Incarcerated artists find hope in creating

BY ELLA MCCARVILLE @EllaMcCarville

A mother stood by her son’s artwork with a beaming smile as a phone camera flashed while other visitors gazed at pieces of art intently. Artwork descriptions and artist profiles read as letters of encouragement, love, admiration, hope and, above all, resilience.

The University of Arizona Museum of Art opened its newest exhibit “Hobby Craft” on Jan. 17, which will remain on display until March 29. The art was created and curated by inmates currently incarcerated in the Arizona State Prison Complex, and its themes radiates resilience.

The idea for the exhibition began in a class taught by Olivia Miller, the curator of exhibitions, who was part of the UA English Department’s “Prison Education Project.” The project aimed to teach inmates skills to prepare them for college-level work. Classes are currently non-credit bearing and cover topics from English to anthropology to art.

According to program coordinator Celeste O’Brien, curators of the museum were inspired to create the show through the inmate’s enthusiasm.

“We selected the term resilience because we thought that that would be something that no

matter [the artists’] background, no matter how long they were in [prison] or how long they had left, that that was a theme that anybody could relate to,” Miller said. “We did not give them a specific definition. So we said, ‘Whatever this term means to you.’”

Taking part in the exhibit, making art and getting art materials are privileges the inmates have to earn, according to Miller.

“In the prison, there are rules and policies set up around art making, and they call it ‘Hobbycraft,’” Miller said. “Those rules and privileges are based on the security level of the prison and the individual privileges of the incarcerated people who are there.”

Many artists featured in the exhibit worked up from colored pencils to fine art materials like acrylic paint. Some inmates even chose to make sculptures out of easily accessible materials like gum wrappers or paper clips.

Miller added that most of the artists who participated in the program were already active artists before incarceration.

“Some of the men, when they were coming up to me … said, ‘I’ve been in prison for 30 years, and prior to coming to prison I used to work on really big canvases,’” Miller said.

“He said having this exhibition gives him something to really look forward to. Another

one of them really wants to be able to take art classes for credit to try to get a degree so that when he gets out, he has something to look forward to.”

According to Miller, many inmates shared this desire to be productive during their incarceration.

“For a lot of them, it’s a way to make the most of their time there,” Miller said. “They don’t want their time in incarceration to be a waste. They want something positive to come of it.”

Despite the fact that none of the artists could be present at the exhibit opening, their words are present in the exhibition room.

Some artists wrote about their families, growth, reclaiming the color orange or prison as a temporary hurdle.

A piece titled “THANKS” by artist T.C.had the following inscription: “In my 20 years in prison, I’ve met all kinds of people. The majority of personas are to the negative: hate, anger, hopelessness,

etc. Although there are some that are the exception, the few that shine a positive light in this dark place, the inmates that mentor and volunteer to teach education, substance abuse, art, etc. Those few inmates that, even through the loss of love, family, and freedom, can still help others and show that prison can be a place of hope and change instead of a place of dread and hate. May your ‘resilient’ spirit not go unnoticed. ‘Thanks!’

This painting represents my loss, hopes, and wishes that are always on my mind and so many others’ in here.”

Sharon Holden, a mother of one of the artists, B.H., found hope in her son’s artwork in the exhibit. Scrolling through photographs of her son and his work, she smiled proudly.

“It just makes my heart soar to see him and all of them,” Holden said. “I know that [for] so many people that are there [in prison], [making art] is bringing out way more to them than just [what they did to get] locked up.

There’s so much more to their story and who they are and where they’ve gotten to be now.”

Supplements: Are they worth your buck?

BY AMIT SYAL @ASyal21

A stroll through the health aisle at the local supermarket will have one’s eyes glance upon a variety of different supplements marketed as if they were a necessity to live a healthy and fulfilling life. But how much do we really need these supplements, and are they worth the money we’re paying for them?

In 2019 alone, the vitamin and supplement industry in the U.S. have made about $32 billion from sales of different supplements. These products include vitamins, minerals, herbs, botanicals, sports nutrition, meal supplements and specialty products.

All supplements sold in the U.S. are under the regulation of the Food and Drug Administration. Under the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994, the “FDA is responsible for taking action against any adulterated or misbranded dietary supplement product after it reaches the market.” How many of the supplements in stores are really necessary?
