Trayvon Martin’s Mother at April 25 Conference
By Cal U Public Relations
Hip-hop icon Chuck D, founder of the groundbreaking rap group Public Enemy, and Sybrina Fulton, mother of the late Trayvon Martin, explore “Social Justice, Mental Health and the Hip-hop Generation” when Cal U hosts its 14th annual Hip-hop Conference. Psychologist Dr. Traice Webb-Bradley joins the panel discussion at 5:30 p.m. April 25 in the Morgan Hall auditorium at California University of Pennsylvania. Admission is free, and the public may attend. Metered parking for visitors is available in lots 11 and 17 on campus. In addition to the headliners’ panel, the conference includes: A campus roundtable, “The Life and Legacy of Nipsey Hussle,” at 11 a.m. April 23 in Carter Hall’s multipurpose room. Cal U alumni, student-athletes and members of BSU will be featured. A student debate, “Top 10 Rappers,” by members of Cal U Men United at 11 a.m. April 25 in Duda Hall, Room 103. Rapper Chuck D redefined hip-hop as one of America’s most popular – and often controversial – art forms when he founded Public Enemy in the late 1980s. Albums including “It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back” and “Fear of a Black Planet” established him as an uncompromising and articulate spokesman for social justice and the black community. Today, he performs with the supergroup Prophets of Rage, speaks at tech and
music conferences around the world, and continues to speak out about social justice issues. Sybrina Fulton has dedicated her life to transforming grief into advocacy for social change. Her 17-year-old son, Trayvon Martin, was killed in a violent confrontation in 2012; his death and the subsequent trial ignited a national debate about violence, community safety and civil rights. Fulton, a Florida native, worked at the Miami-Dade County Housing Development Agency for more than 25 years. She is the co-author (with Tracy Martin) of a book, Rest in Power: The Enduring Life of Trayvon Martin. Dr. Traice Webb-Bradley is a licensed clinical psychologist and a national psychologist peer reviewer and subject matter expert for Optum Health Behavioral Solutions (formerly United Behavioral Health). In clinical practice, she has a special interest in working with people of color and women regarding trauma, identity and sexuality issues. She volunteers with The Swan Within, a nonprofit organization that teaches therapeutic ballet to sex-trafficked, abused and neglected girls in the California detention system. Cal U’s annual Hip-hop Conference is organized by Dr. Kelton Edmonds, a professor in the Department of History, Politics, Society and Law. Edmonds is a former director of the Frederick Douglass Institute at Cal U and program coordinator for the university’s minor in African American studies.

“A new lease on life” thanks to organ do nors CORE College Challenge educates the Cal U campus community Danny Beeck, Editor In Chief Bee1558@calu.edu
Across the country, there are 113,568 people on the waiting list to receive an organ from a donor. Furthermore, there are nearly 7,300 people in the state of Pennsylvania who are on that same list. On April 4, the California University of Pennsylvania Public Relations Student Society of America (PRSSA), and Women in Sports and Events (WISE) joint sponsored an event in the Cal U Convocation Center to inform students about the nobility of becoming an organ donor. The event was centered around guest speaker Craig Smith, who represented the Center for Organ Recovery and Education (CORE), and was the recipient of an organ donation in 2014. “Everyone wants to keep living,” Smith said. “Organ donation is such an important cause, and it’s a subject that not a lot of people like to talk about. It’s kind of a taboo subject. If we could bring donation to the forefront of conversation and make people comfortable with talking about it, then it will empower more people to make that decision to sign up in order to become organ donors.” Smith received a heart in 2014 while he attended school at Pennsylvania State University, and received care from Allegheny General Hospital in Pittsburgh. While he was there, he was diagnosed with viral cardiomyopathy that resulted in his heart swelling far beyond the amount it should. Smith answered questions and squashed myths about organ donation in order to make the attendees of the event knowledgeable about organ donation. Smith shared that, “One donor can save eight people, and heal up to 75,” which shocked many in the audience. “Events like these are great to increase awareness around organ donation,” Cameron King, junior at California University of Pennsylvania said. “It is very important that people take the time to consider becoming an organ donor because it can save people’s lives.” Olivia Ebersole and Reilly McGlumphy spearheaded the efforts for PRSSA and WISE to bring awareness of organ donation to campus. Ebersole expressed her passion surrounding organ donation, as she was the recipient of a bovine valve in her heart during open heart surgery in her freshman year. “When we talked about doing this organ donation event, I thought it would be really cool,” Ebersole said.

“I didn’t realize how important it was until I was in the hospital and they said to me that I had a 24-hour notice until I was going into surgery. I ended up going to Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus, and there were infants there that were waiting on their second heart transplant. So to me, this event wasn’t just about doing it because I had to. This event made me really excited to work and help out this cause.” This event was a part of a larger initiative that is the CORE College Challenge that collaborates with student organizations across western Pennsylvania to bring awareness to organ donation. Smith presented on behalf of the organization, as his story aligns with the values of the organization. “We empower student groups all over the CORE service region to hold mini awareness campaigns on their respective campuses,” Smith said. Along with his efforts with CORE, Smith also established Second Chance Fundraising six months after his transplant as another way to give back to the cause of organ donation. “I enjoy doing event planning and working with people, along with having a good time,” Smith said. “It started off as just organizing a 5K and donating the
money to CORE, and then we just had so many ideas about a golf tournament, and this and that, then finally we just decided to form our own non-profit to try to make more of a difference.” On top of all of Smith’s efforts, he also volunteers as “Pumper”, who is the bright red, smiling heart mascot of CORE. “I went to the Transplant Games of America last year, which is like the Olympics for transplant patients,” Smith said. “I didn’t do a whole lot in the games as Pumper, but I was able to do 5K’s with Pumper, a bowling event, and while we were out there, we went to the Olympic Park in Salt Lake City and did some stuff up there.” Along with Smith’s presentation, the event included free pizza and games involving organ donation. “The event was super interactive, entertaining, and informative all at once,” Charlie Gallagher, junior at California University of Pennsylvania said. “I’m already an organ donor, but I convinced my friends after hearing all of the information.” Smith reiterated at the end of the event just how important it is to sign up to be an organ donor.

Take Back the Night at Cal U
Students honor Sexual-Assault Awareness Month Morgan Buckwalter, Opinions Editor BUC7568 @calu.edu
Sexual Assault Awareness Month occurs in April and is a significant time for many families and friends. It is important to raise awareness for sexual assault, dating violence, stalking, etc., to educate communities on how to prevent sexual violence. At Cal U, the End Violence Center, located in the Natali Student Center, is continually doing what they can to put an end to sexual/domestic violence. Students are able to speak to someone associated with the center at any time if they have concerns. On Wednesday, April 10, the End Violence Center presented their annual Take Back the Night event to honor victims of sexual assault and show support. During this event, survivors and their families and friends came together to show their support and speak about their traumatizing experiences. Stories were shared, poems were read aloud, and tears were shed throughout the night. The women who spoke about their past experiences were some of the strongest, most courageous women I have ever seen. While listening to their stories, it was hard not to think about their tragic situations. Imagine, what if this was your sister, daughter, brother, mother, or even yourself. Sexual assault is something that our communities shouldn’t take lightly and something needs to be done to prevent reoccurrences of assault. To be honest, I wasn’t sure what to expect when I attended the event. I felt almost out of place knowing that those women had gone through experiences that I could not fathom. A lot of the women were so strong because they had an excellent support system to remind them to stay positive. The families and friends of these women make all the difference. After attending this event and hearing several women’s stories, I was taken back when I realized I knew a couple of the people who spoke. As I will keep all names confidential, I was shocked after one of my former classmates spoke about her experiences. You would never have guessed that she went through something as terrifying as she did. You could hear the pain in her voice as she spoke, and the same question rang in everyone’s minds: why? How could someone act out in such ways that harm the victim emotionally, mentally, and physically with no remorse? This event should make you wonder, who else has had similar experiences? There are so many people who were assaulted and keep it to themselves. Imagine

If you know someone who has been assaulted, or if it is you, please don’t hesitate to get help. So many people are willing to listen to every detail of your story. If you have concerns but aren’t sure if someone you love is in a toxic situation, look for the signs. Some red flags to look for are if the individual is withdrawing from normal activities, mentioning feeling pressured from their partner, or signs of control from their partner. Someone who has already been sexually assaulted may be depressed, have low self-esteem, avoid certain places, or have poor academics. It is incredibly important to take notice to the signs around you because you don’t want to belittle a situation that could be so much worse than you think. If I had to take away one thing from attending the event, it’s that you are you, not your story. You past does not define you; in fact, it only makes you stronger. The future is filled with an immense amount of amazing opportunities.

WCAL’s First Ever “Do-over Prom” By Caitlyn Lenkey, Contributor LEN2304@calu.edu
On the night of April 3, 2019, WCAL hosted Cal U’s first ever Do-Over Prom. The event was held in the Natali Performance Center and ran from 7PM until 11PM where over 100 guests came to enjoy the night together. The entry cost was three dollars for singles and five dollars for couples, with all funds benefitting 91.9fm WCAL. This event served as an opportunity not only to fundraise money, but also for anyone who did not enjoy their prom or were unable to attend their prom to have a second chance. Students and community members alike were in attendance, everyone with a smile and a groove in their step. With formal wear being encouraged, some in attendance were able to adorn old formal dresses that otherwise would have gone untouched for years. Some in attendance even went so far as to buy completely new outfits whether for newfound comfort in themselves or for personal enjoyment. With so many well-dressed guests, there were of course some lovely photos taken. During the night,
there was a selfie booth being used for guests to take fun and silly pictures with their friends and partners. There were also traditional style prom photos being taken. Couples and singles alike took part in the prom photos, ending up with a total of over 180 photos being accumulated. The 180 photos consist mainly of “prom photos,” but there was quite a bit of candids taken throughout the night. It was easy to get so many with so many guests almost always on the dance floor. It was easy to keep the dance floor filled with two DJs from WCAL playing music the whole night. TK the DJ and DJ Desktop, Nick Rae, played the jams at the do-over prom that night. The music was a mixture of EDM, throwback classics, dance songs, and pop, catering to the mood of the night and to the tastes of the diverse crowd. On the dance floor, there was not only dancing that night. We had a few people literally flipping from excitement, breakdancing, and making everyone smile. Although, the best part of the night was the line dancing. Every time a line dance
came on, people shrieked with joy, and ran to the floor. Within seconds, the entire dance floor was filled. There was not a person on the floor with any hesitation to enjoy themselves in the moment. It was wonderful to see such a large crowd enjoying the night. This was all thanks to the efforts of the WCAL staff that were in attendance before the start of the event that worked hard to put together what became a very fun and memorable night. Many people that were in attendance could not stop talking about how great of a night they had, even going so far as to say that they had more fun at this event than the original prom that they attended back in high school. With such great success in its first event, WCAL will be continuing with its do-over as an annual event, in order to keep bringing such a creative and fun night to the community. Stay tuned and be on the lookout for another WCAL Do-over Prom sometime next school year!

Autism can’t define me. I define autism. My personal life story of living with autism By Tom Caton, Entertainment Editor CAT7359@calu.edu
Autism affects more than 1 in 100 people. Autism is a developmental disorder of variable severity that is characterized by difficulty in social interaction and communication and by restricted or repetitive patterns of thought and behavior. Just about every year, the month of April is recognized as “Autism Awareness Month.” Autism does not make an individual an outcast and sadly, so many people out there in the world treat others who have been affected with autism are treated like an outcast. I know what that kind of lifestyle is like because I myself have been diagnosed with autism at the age of seven. There are three different kinds of autism disorders. First, there is Autistic Disorder, which is often called “classic autism.” This is what most people think of when hearing the word autism. The second type of autism is Asperger Syndrome, which is a developmental disorder affecting the ability to effectively socialize and communicate. The third type is Pervasive Developmental Disorder. The type of autism I have been diagnosed with is Asperger Syndrome. Growing up with this disorder was very difficult. I was in second grade when I got diagnosed and almost instantly I got treated differently because of this disorder that had seemed to take over my life. It was almost impossible for me to communicate and socialize with other people. Luckily, I had my twin sister to guide me through most of the mess I received from fellow classmates. My autism was obviously and easily seen by others, especially when I had an episode and became very upset about something so minute. Going through elementary school and junior high school was not so easy. To learn how to control my episodes, and most importantly learn how to control myself, I had to attend these so-called therapy sessions with a trained specialist. Some specialists even made house visits to help me. At first, I did not like these
sessions at all and found them to be odd. But after time, probably about a timespan of almost five years, I had these weekly sessions with specialists to help me control my episodes. People who do not fully understand what it is like to either live with autism or know a friend/family member who has autism have no idea what the struggles are for that individual. Simple tasks for a normal individual are easy while that same simple task may be difficult for someone who has autism. For example, learning how to tie shoe laces may seem easy, but for me it was very very difficult. When I could not tie the laces, I became upset and threw a tantrum. I did not learn how to tie shoe laces until the age of thirteen while my sisters knew how to tie shoe laces since they were probably six or seven years old. Now being a young adult, I find myself successful. It is much easier to socialize and communicate with others than it was when I was eight years old. Most tasks seem easy to me now. I am now capable to tie my shoes with ease. I thought all those sessions I went through growing up was useless, but turns out, they were useful. I will live with autism for the rest of my life and I am here to embrace it and embrace others who have also been diagnosed with autism. I now find April to be my favorite month of the year. World Autism Day is an internationally recognized day on April 2nd every year, encouraging Member States of the United Nations to take measures to raise awareness about people with autism spectrum disorders throughout the world. Every year on April 2nd, people around the world are encouraged to wear the color blue. Blue has been recognized as the color for autism awareness. The coined phrase “Light it up Blue” has gone viral over the years to make people aware of autism. It was not easy at all growing up with autism. I felt as if this disorder took full control of my life.
When I had an episode, especially in a public place, people stared; sometimes people would even point. There were times I did not even want to leave my house, out of fear I would have another episode and become a freak show in other’s eyes. So yes, it has not been easy at all growing up with autism. For those who have been diagnosed with some form of autistic disorder, they are not any different than another person. People living with an autistic disorder are a little bit more unique, in a good way. But at the end of each day, I always find myself saying my favorite quote:
“Autism can’t define me. I define autism.” -Kerry Magro

ALBUM OF THE WEEK By Evan Peffer, Staff Writer PEF9535@calu.edu
The Maine- You Are Ok You Are OK, the new album by The Maine, is lack-luster to say the least. It seemed that after 12 years of being a band, The Maine has finally come into their prime with their last two albums, American Candy and Lovely Little Lonely. Where as these two albums hit the perfect middle ground of bubblegum pop with guitar-driven rock influences, You Are OK abandons that. Not to say this new album is bad, because that is far from the truth, it is just boring. All of the uniqueness that The Maine had started to make a staple of their music is gone and this album sounds just like any other album I could’ve turned on in 2008. I guess it’s true that all hit streaks must come to an end.

By Tom Caton, Entertainment Editor CAT7359@calu.edu
Every year during the spring semester, “The Big Event� is held just about during the second week of April. The Big Event is an annual community service event that is held throughout different locations on the grounds of the university and in the neighboring local town of California. Each year, hundreds of CalU students, faculty, and other staff members pitch in a helping hand towards the cause. This year, the Big Event was held on Saturday April 13. Last year, a total of 415 Cal U students, faculty, and staff helped out with the Big Event. There were numerous sites on campus and in the borough of California that needed some spring cleaning. With over 400 volunteers lending a hand last year, just about the same number of volunteers helped out this year. Most, if not all, volunteers said that the Big Event is truly a rewarding experience.
CAL LIFE Not only do volunteers help clean and tidy up areas on campus, but they also march into town to help clean local resident’s houses! Volunteers roll up their sleeves and get to work right away. Other areas on the cleaning list include California’s First United Methodist Church, Mechanic Street Park, Rotary Park, and the California Area Public Library. Another interesting and exciting aspect of the Big Event is not only do current CalU students lend a hand, but some Cal U alumni attend to help out the cause! Last year, alumni Earl Gilpin (class of 1988), and Tracey Gilpin (class of 1990) volunteered with their daughter, Tracey Gilpin, a graphic design major. Tracey Gilpin stated “Giving back is important, no matter where you can do it.” Volunteers had a pretty long list of chores and activities to do throughout the entire day. The Big Event started at 8:30AM that day and lasted almost the whole entire day. Window washing, litter pickup, painting, and general yard work were some of the projects on the list. Cal U’s Student Government Association and the University’s Center for Volunteer Programs and Service Learning have been teaming up for over a decade now, since 2007, to encourage student volunteers to lend a helping hand around the borough of California. If any businesses or residents are interested in receiving student-volunteer help for next year’s Big Event and for more years to come, please contact Cal U’s Student Government Association at stugov@ calu.edu or call 724-938-4793. It was definitely another successful Big Event this year! Thank you to all volunteers.

Save Your Skin and Skip the Tan Short-term effects for long-term harm By: Morgan Buckwalter, Opinions Editor
Photos by Wikimedia Commons
BUC7568@calu.edu
With summer rapidly approaching, many of us are waiting to lay out in the bright, warm sun (after applying sunscreen, of course). However, many people are impatient to wait for their “summer glow” and are deciding to use tanning beds as an alternative. However, the effects of using a tanning bed are worse for your skin than you think. According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, the damage caused by ultraviolet (UV ) radiation can cause wrinkles, brown spots, and most significantly, skin cancer. After further research, it is said that anyone who uses a tanning bed under the age of 35 increases their risk of melanoma by a shocking 75 percent. Think of that fact next time you consider using the tanning bed. Melanoma is one of the most dangerous forms of skin cancer. This disease can be caused by sun exposure, family history, and other genetic factors; however, tanning beds are one of the leading causes for melanoma. Consistent tanners are also more likely to have melanoma if they have a high number of moles, pale skin that does not easily tan, or light colored-eyes or hair. If you are one who uses the tanning beds often, you should reconsider doing so. Make sure to check if you have any symptoms of skin changes such as a new mole or differing in color. Many people believe that they won’t become a victim of the harmful effects of tanning beds. However, maintaining an optimistic mindset will only make matters worse. After reading a blog on skin cancer, three women shared their stories. All three of them were constantly tanning during their teenage years and continued to do so as they aged. None of them thought that they would ever be diagnosed with skin cancer before the age of thirty, but they did. Each of the women had to go through surgery to remain healthy. It’s extremely important that everyone self-exams themselves to catch any diseases early on. The earlier the issue is found, the easier treatment is. If someone waits too long, the effects could be fatal. There are several products which will give the allusion of a tan, without the harmful effects. For instance, applying tanning lotion, cream,
or sprays onto your body will still give you a sun-kissed tan without the dangerous UV rays. The main ingredient in most tanning products is dihydroxyacetone (DHA) which reacts with dead skin cells to darken the skin temporarily. The effects usually last a few days depending on how often you reapply. Therefore, you can still receive similar results through using a safer product compared to tanning beds. If you choose to apply sunless tanning lotion, there are a few steps you should follow. First, make sure to exfoliate your skin before application. This step is important because it
will remove extra dead skin cells. Allow your skin to dry, then apply the lotion in sections. This makes it easier to apply and will result in a more natural appearance. Also, by focusing on one section of your body, the lotion will less likely appear streaky on the skin. After application, wait at least 10 minutes to change clothes so the lotion has time to soak into the skin. Even though a sun-kissed tan looks attractive, the effects are too dangerous and not worth the harm. There are several ways to achieve the same look without the unsafe outcome.

Should Teachers Carry a Weapon?
The problems with arming teachers in the classroom By: Morgan Buckwalter, Opinions Editor BUC7568@calu.edu
Imagine this, it’s 7:30 in the morning and you’re about to enter your high school classroom. It’s your first class of the day, and you don’t know how you’re going to manage staying awake for the next hour. You walk in the door and find your teacher readjusting the gun on his hip. How are students supposed to grow accustomed to that image? School is supposed to be a comfortable environment for all students. The safety of the students in our schools has been an ongoing issue. The main question is: how do we keep our students safe in our schools in the act of a school shooter? Some people believe that arming our teachers with weapons will be the solution to this problem. However, I beg to differ. As a future educator, I cannot imagine myself carrying a gun around while trying to teach my students a lesson. A majority of teachers most likely do not know how to use a gun, nor have ever held one before. This would require the school to pay for trainings for their teachers to familiarize themselves with shooting, reloading, and overall gun safety. Also, it takes a specific type of person who is mentally and physically capable to handle a gun. Even though someone can go through several trainings in order to handle a gun, actually committing to pulling the trigger is a completely different mind game. Who says that the teacher would be able to actually go through with shooting the gun in the time of need? Even then, living with the effects of the situation could cause post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) for the teacher. Are we willing to rely on our teachers for this type of fight or flight situation? I am not sure how the students would react to their teacher carrying a gun, but I don’t think it would be a positive outcome. Think of the students who have experienced gun violence at home. Maybe school is there only “safe place,” and now they can’t even go to their math class without seeing a gun. The effects on the students should be the number one priority and definitely needs to be considered when deciding if teachers should have guns in the classroom. Personally, the scariest thing on my mind is,
what if the gun gets into the hands of a student? Some students could be mentally troubled and want the opportunity to use the weapon on their classmates or teachers. In addition to that, a lot of students play video games at home. What if they think they can get away with using weapons in their video game, so they can do the same in real life? It’s just not worth the risk. We’re trying to fight school shooters with the opportunity for other students to become school shooters, and you can’t fight fire with fire. My solution to help prevent violence in schools would be to hire security guards throughout the school. These guards are people that are highly trained and experienced. This would be more beneficial than teachers with weapons because most teachers don’t have any gun handling experiences. Also, the school won’t have to pay for teachers to have any extra weapon training.
Furthermore, the teachers won’t have to worry about carrying a weapon. The security guards would be placed in the hallways instead of the classroom which would be easier for the students as well. Another solution to the problem could be to add metal detectors at the entrances of the building. This could prevent anyone, even students, to enter with a weapon on them. A majority of Chicago schools have metal detectors to prevent any weapons from entering the school and putting innocent lives in danger. To conclude, school violence is ubiquitous, but the proper precautions need to be made to ensure that the most is being done to prevent danger in our schools.

Job Interview Tips
Follow these tips for a successful interview By: Morgan Buckwalter BUC7568@calu.edu
1. Prepare a cover letter and resumé – Bring a copy for you, as well as the interviewer. Familiarize yourself with the information on your resumé and always be honest about your work experience, skills, etc. 2. Dress to impress – For women: skirts, dress, dress pants, and a simple blouse will suffice. For men: dress pants or a shirt and tie. 3. Clean hair, nails, and makeup – Pull your hair away from your face and make sure your nails are well-kept. If you choose to wear makeup, keep it simple with neutral colors. 4. Show up early – For interviews, arriving on-time is late. You should show up at least 10-15 minutes early to show you are prepared. 5. Be confident – Even if you are incredibly nervous, the important thing is that you do not show it. Maintain positive body language such as good posture to give off the impression that you have faith in yourself. 6. Firm handshake – If your handshake is weak, your interviewer may correlate weakness as a trait for you in other aspects. A strong handshake will assure your interviewer you are prepared for anything he/she will ask you. 7. Eye contact – It is important to maintain eye contact during the interview. You may seem nervous if you do not look at your interviewer. 8. Prepare questions to ask the interviewer – By asking questions, you seem more interested in the job. Also, it shows the interviewer that you put in extra time to prepare for the interview and you will do the same thing if you are hired. 9. Research the company – If you are knowledgeable about the company and their procedures, your interviewer will be impressed with the extra time you put into the interview. 10. Follow up after the interview – It is important to email, call, or even show up in person to ask about the status of your application. This shows the company that you are taking initiative.

Wrestlemania 2019: The Biggest Stage
Jonathan Sakaguchi, Contributor sak8734@calu.edu
Universal Heav y Weight Championship Brock Leasner vs Seth Rollins Af ter winning the Royal Rumble in Januar y, Seth Rollins the K ings Slayer or now k nown as the Beast Slayer would have the first match on the main card of the night. Paul Hayman demanded that the match be set early and Leasner entered the ring with the title and was ready to be won. Rollins answered the call, but the beast would not let Seth get into the ring as he attacked by the Architec t outside the ring, where he threw Rollins around like a rag doll before getting him back into the ring once again, Lesnar threw Rollins around a little more. Rollins escaped the Lesner ’s grasp and avoided being on the receiving end of the F5. Rollins pushed the beast away and into the ref and k nocked him out the ring. Rollins took the oppor tunit y and curb stomped Lesnar three times into the mat before pinning and becoming the new W WE Universal Champion. My rating of the match: 3.5 stars. Smackdown Tag Team Championship Usos vs The Bar vs R icochet and Alister Black vs Nakamura and Russiv This match star ted with the Usos and Nak amura but before long, things rolled into chaos as tags and bodies filled the ring. R icochet thought he had the vic tor y with a 650 Splash but would be mobbed and the count was broken up. The Usos made quick work as they deployed the Double Us onto Nak amura to retain their tag titles. My match rating: 4 stars. Womens Tag Team Titles Match The Boss and Hug Connec tion vs the Iconics vs Nia Jax and Tamina vs Natalya and Beth Phoenix Like the Smackdown Tag Title match, the Women’s Tag match was a mess of tags and bodies from the get- go. Beth Phoenix showed she still can compete like a champion with flashy move combos. But quick think ing and ring awareness by the Iconics took advantage

and put him to sleep. This match lasted only a minute. My match rating: 1 star.
Daniel Br yan vs Kofi Kingston: WWE Championship.
Af ter issuing the warning to Lashley at R aw last Monday, Balor brought his alter ego to the stage the Demon K ing, for the first time ever. The t wo competitors brought ever ything they had but Balor would be too much for Lashley as he finished the match in under five minutes with a double stomp to the chest of Lashley. R ate of the Match 3 stars.
Af ter weeks of proving that he deser ved to be in the W WE Championship match, K ingston took advantage of the oppor tunit y. K ingston and Br yan gave ever ything they had in the ring that Sunday night. Br yan used ever y move he had from the Yes K icks to the LaBell Lock and Running K nees but they were not enough to put K ingston away. K ingston was able to finish the Planet ’s Champion by hitting him with his signature finisher, the Trouble I n Paradise. The New Day had a surprise for Kofi with the Old W WE Championship belt with his name plates and new shir ts for the New Day with K ingston holding the W WE Title above his head. My rating: 4.5 stars. S amoa Joe vs Rey Mesterio: United States Championship This was the fast match of the night with Mysterio on fire out of the gate. But, af ter he hit the 619 he went for the frog splash and was caught by Samoa Joe. The Submission Destroyer hit Mysterio with the Kok ina Clutch

Each competitor had a great chance to put it away and claim and or retain titles. Rousey tried to put it away early and almost had the upper hand against Lynch as she went for Piper ’s Pit and Lynch shif ted her weight to get the back-shoulder slide on Ronda. On the replay it appeared that one of her sholders was up but the referee declared Beck y Lynch the W WE Women’s Champion for R aw and Smackdown. My rating: 4 stars.

Disc Golf: A Sport Turned Business? Meet J. Jay Paskert, a pioneer in a growing industry Gary Smith, Director of Operations at CUTV smith_gm@calu.edu
As a growing spor t, disc golf is at a crossroads. 40 years into its existent there has been a groundswell of people being able to take their love of the spor t and turn it into their livelihood. Most people would rightly assume that the majorit y of those people are touring professionals that frequent the Eisenhower I nterstate System playing tournaments coast to coast relying on high finishes to cash in. However, there are a growing number of people that have figured out a way to turn a profit from their passion without needing an oil change ever y 2 weeks, and one of them resides in Washington Count y. Washington H igh School Graduate/ Washington, PA native J. Jay Pasker t is one of the people that is at the forefront of this growing industr y. Pasker t runs (DISC ) Qualified, which specializes in custom disc golf discs. Each disc ’s ar t work is craf ted by hand and each one is unique; no t wo are alike. As owner and chief ar tist of (DISC )Qualified, he has been able to turn his passion for disc golf into a nice source of income for him and his family. Having played baseball and basketball growing up he was introduced to disc golf in his junior year of high school but it wasn’t until 2016 that he star ted tak ing it seriously by joining the Wednesday night league at Nor th Strabane Park in Washington, PA. Currently J. Jay owns the course record on the reconfigured course (league night routing) with a 7 under 54. While it is easy to trace his athletic past to his current disc golfing present, the ar tistic side is a little harder to trace. Growing up he had a small interest in doodling as most people do, but the dying bug did not bite until later in life. While look ing at discs online (which is the hobby of ever y disc golfer…just ask one) he came across the work of long- time disc dyer Jeff Ash. Ash is k nown for the splatter dye, other wise k nown as the brainwave pattern. Af ter playing around with different techniques, a suggestion by
fellow local disc golfer Brad Mar tin lead to (DISC )Qualified’s most recognizable pattern, the lollipop dye. When a lollipop dyed disc is thrown it gives off the image of a flying vor tex cutting through the air. While not backed up by science, local players who throw a (DISC )Qualified disc swear that they gain ex tra distance and accurac y (myself author included). While Pasker t has been dying discs since the fall of 2017, spring of 2018 is when (DISC ) Qualified really took off through word of mouth and social media. H is I nstagram page has over 6,300 followers and people can see discs available for sale and a large sample of the work . Professional touring disc golfers Philo Braithwaite and Aver y Jenk ins carr y his discs, and he has also done dyes for brand ambassadors for I nnova Discs. By his estimation, he has personally worked on over 2,000 discs and has shipped discs to 3035 states and foreign countries as far away as Germany, Great Britain, Sweden and Australia. H is passion for dying discs is more than just a nice side hobby, he star ted (DISC )Qualified to help fund tournament entr y fees and it has taken off and has become a nice source of revenue for his family. H is wife Codi used her background in graphic design to create the (DISC ) Qualified logo, and his son M icha has star ted training for the 2036 PDGA world championships. He shares his passion for disc golf with his father-in law Rob Berk who is also an avid player. Pasker t says it is impor tant to have the suppor t in his family and friends, and be sure to check out (@disc.qualified) on I nstagram today!

Upon first glance at the 2019 Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference Baseball standings, the western side features a familiar face. California sits atop the table on the western side. With a (12-4), 26-8 record the Vulcans are in the driver ’s seat to qualify for the 2019 PSAC Championships. With 14 games remaining in the regular season, ever y win is crucial when battling for the positioning in the annual postseason tournament. A few seasons have passed by since the Vulcans have made an appearance in the conference wide affair, with the last appearance being in the 2016 season when California was bounced by consecutive losses to M illersville and Seton H ill.

As a refresher to students and baseball fans alike, the PSAC conference tournament features eight par ticipants, four from the west and east respec tively.

America’s teens report a dramatic increase in their use of vaping devices in just a single year, with 37.3 percent of 12th graders reporting “any vaping” in the past 12 months, compared to just 27.8 percent in 2017. These findings come from the 2018 Monitoring the Future (MTF) The Juul is battery operated and works by heating a pod of e-liquid or “juice”. This juice contains nicotine, flavorings and other chemicals. Once heated the liquid creates an aerosol or vapor that the user inhales, and the user gets a very quick and powerful burst of nicotine. Each pod contains the same amount of nicotine that is in one pack of cigarettes. The nicotine cycle is one that is most difficult to break because nicotine is vaporized, travels through the body in only 5-10 seconds, crosses into the brain and releases dopamine. This “feel-good” neurotransmitter, dopamine causes one to crave more nicotine. When the nicotine level drops the smoker craves another puff on the Juul. The more addicted one becomes the more one must use to get the same effects. Nicotine suppresses insulin production, which staves off hunger, and provides appetite control. Weight gain is a common excuse people use when asked to consider stopping smoking. Your Thompson Pharmacist is a great resource to help you quit smoking, whether e-cigarettes or regular cigarettes. We have a lot of tools such as Chantix or Wellbutrin that your physician can prescribe or nicotine replacement with patches, gums and lozenges.

Baseball Celebrates Jackie Robinson Day The MLB honors the career of a legendary baseball player James Rudolph, News Editor RUD2588@calu.edu
April 15 marks one of the most historic days in sports history with Jackie Robinson’s first game in Major League Baseball. As the first black man in the MLB, Robinson broke the baseball color line and ended racial segregation in baseball. Today, honoring the 72nd anniversary of the historic day, baseball fans, teams and organizations honor him every year on April 15 in ballparks across America in an event called Jackie Robinson Day. Initiated in 2004, Jackie Robinson Day observes the legendary baseball player’s life and incredible career. All MLB players, managers, coaches and umpires wear Robinson’s number, No. 42, which was retired in 1997. Robinson was the first professional athlete in any sport to be honored in such a way. Commemorative sleeve patches were added to uniforms this year with a matching hat insignia. Additionally, the Jackie Robinson Day logo was place on bases and dugout lineup cards, with all licensed royalties from the sale of items to the Jackie Robinson Foundation. Rachel Robinson, Jackie’s wife and founder of the Jackie Robinson foundation, alongside their children, Sharon and David, attended the festivities at Dodgers Stadium in Los Angeles. Two-years ago, the Dodgers unveiled the parks first sculpture --Robinson sliding into home plate – on Jackie Robinson Day. On April 14, the Jackie Robinson Foundation previewed the Jackie Robinson Museum, which is scheduled to open in New York later this year. Commissioner Rob Manfred attended the MetsPhillies game in Philadelphia and took part in a pregame ceremony that included a joint choir from three local African-American churches, and a recognition of the Tuskegee Airmen. MLB and Scholastic magazine announced 10 winners of an essay contest entitled “Breaking Barriers: In Sport, In Life,” where students in grade 4-9 describe personal challenges they overcame. Individual baseball teams celebrated in different ways. The Chicago White Sox held a private screening of the movie “42” for students, with shortstop Tim Anderson, firstbase coach Daryl Boston and other members of the White Sox organization stopping by. The Florida Marlins hosted youth organizations for players, alumni and executives discussed the impact Robinson had on baseball and their lives. The Minnesota Twins did something similar, invitied fourth-grade students to discuss Robinson’s life while

honoring students who were nominated by their teachers for embodying Robinson’s values.Additionally, the Marlins Foundation Legacy Scholarship Program made a $5,000 contribution to the Jackie Robinson Foundation scholarship fund. Robinson was called up by the Brooklyn Dodgers a mere six days before the start of the 1947 season. Starting at first-base, Robinson, 28 at the time, played in-front of a crowd of 26,623 spectators, more than 14,000 of which were black. His debut heralded the end of segregation in baseball that kept African-American players in a separate league since the 1880’s. During Robinson’s legendary career, he received the Rookie of the Year Award in 1947, six-time All-Star status from the 1949-1954 seasons, and won the National league Most Valuable Player Award in 1949. He played in six World Series, including winning the 1955 World Series with the Brooklyn Dodgers. He retired after the 1956 and dedicated the remainder of his life to advocated for civil rights. Robinson’s belief of non-violence, combined with his talent that lead to him breaking the color barrier,
challenged segregation in all parts of American life. He influenced and heavily contributed to the Civil Rights movement. In addition to his groundbreaking baseball career, Robinson was the first black television analyst in MLB and the first black vice president of a major American corporation, Chock full o’Nuts, a coffee-brand from a chain of New York City coffee shops. He helped establish the Freedom National Bank, and African-American-owned financial institution based in Harlem, in the 1960’s. After his death in 1972, Robisnon was awareded the Congressional Gold Medal and the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Nine days before his death, during Game 2 of the 1972 World Series, Robinson urged MLB to open its doors for an African-American manager. Two-days later, the Cleveland Indians hired Frank Robinson, who would manage four teams during his career. As time moved forward, MLB remembers one of the most influential and skilled players in history. The contributions Robinson made to baseball and to American society continues to be felt today, as Jackie Robinson Day continues to be part of the baseball tradition.
