SWFL nonprofits rescue wolfdog By Leah Sankey Opinion Editor Two SWFL nonprofits joined forces to rescue a wolfdog hybrid that was seen roaming near the Hendry County line. Kathy Irey, a volunteer with Clewiston Animal Control and rescue coordinator with Doghouse Rescue Academy, said that the wolfdog was wandering around in the middle of nowhere. “He was obviously domesticated and the way that he acted brought back memories of a hybrid that my brother had,” said Irey. Irey brought the wolfdog back to Clewiston Animal Control where they found he was not microchipped or neutered. She then, contacted Dawn Humfleet, the founder of Doghouse Rescue academy who has experience with wolfdogs. Together, they were able to identify the animal as part wolf, part malamute husky. “As a rescue, we have to take responsibility for what we’re doing,” said Humfleet. “We couldn’t allow a wolfdog to be adopted out by just anyone in the general public.” Humfleet reached out to Shy Wolf Sanctuary, a refuge for exotic animals. Shy Wolf confirmed that this animal was in fact a hybrid and placed him with an experienced foster. The rescuers initially suspected that the wolfdog had been dumped by its owners. The owners reached out to Shy Wolf Sanctuary about their lost pet after a story aired on Wink News claiming that the animal was abandoned. According to Shy Wolf, the wolfdog’s owners are currently going through the adoption process to get him back.

Is FGCU ready for the next big storm? By Seth Tanenhaus Gulf Coast News Wire Florida Gulf Coast University survived Hurricane Irma in September 2017 with minimal damage, but rather than lauding that fact, the FGCU community should be asking how this happened and whether the campus is prepared for stronger storms. What sets FGCU apart from other land in the area and what some credit as the main reason the campus was in such good shape after the storm is the university’s extensive green space. Green space is undeveloped land that is more accommodating to plants and animals. FGCU’s green space includes the various marshes, swamps and wetlands on the university’s main campus and the immediate surrounding areas. “Post-hurricane, two things prevent you from going back to normal: power, and where the water is,” FGCU professor of environmental studies Win Everham said. “[FGCU] got power back on pretty quickly, maybe just by chance. You can’t go to work if the roads, parking

After Hurricane ran through the area in 2017, FGCU has taken certain measures into effect. lots or buildings are ﬂooded. That’s the part where the green space had a positive impact.” Everham said that many housing developments are around 10 to 20 percent green space, with some older developments being less than 5 percent. FGCU is somewhere between 49 and 53 percent green space. “If you take a piece of land and build it completely so you have pavement, lawns and roads and then you drop a foot of rain on it, it

fills up a foot and you’re flooded,” Everham said. “If you take a piece of land and develop half of it, with the other half as green space, you can put a foot of water on and the places that can’t hold the water run off to the places that can.” While FGCU was able to handle Irma because of its unique design, it can become somewhat difficult to answer the question of whether the university can withstand a stronger storm, partly because of

what constitutes a stronger storm in the ﬁrst place. “When you look at rainfall from hurricanes and tropical storms, there’s not a strong association between how strong a hurricane is and how much it rains,” Chris Landsea, Chief of the National Hurricane Center’s Tropical Analysis and Forecast Branch said. Hurricane strength is based solely on the Safﬁr-Simpson

FGCU student balances college life with army life By Emily Simpson Gulf Coast News Wire Quinn Bonner lives a double life. When he’s not studying business or partying with his Jewish fraternity at Florida Gulf Coast University, he’s serving the country. Unlike most college kids, he trades in his notebooks and pencils for ammo and cannons. “As soon as I throw on my uniform, I become a different person,” Bonner said. One weekend a month, Bonner travels to Dade City where he performs maintenance, crew work and ﬁring operations on howitzer cannons. His unit is the 52nd Infantry Division in Florida. “It’s a lot to jumble at once,” Bonner said. “Even though we’re not full-time, we’re held to the same standards.” Bonner has learned to juggle classes, work, Greek life and the framing of his future business, all while training to become a sergeant. “He does have a lot on his plate, but he manages to do it,” said Brent Butler, one of Bonner’s roommates. “He has great work ethic. It’s impressive.”

Out of about 100 men, Bonner is one of four in his unit that balances college life with army life. “My friend at the University of Tampa is an astrophysicist”, Bonner said. “This man will be out with an astrophysics book in his hand covered in dirt, gun grease, ﬂipping through and taking notes.” Bonner has been in similar situations. Last October, Bonner was called for state active duty to help with relief following Hurricane Michael. Midterm week at FGCU was creeping right BONNER around the corner. “I carried all my textbooks in my military backpack, and I would study my notes as I was loading helicopters or doing search and rescue,” Bonner said. “It gets tight in moments like those, but for the most part, school and the army go hand and hand.” Bonner joined the army about ﬁve years ago, right after graduating from his military high school in Bartow, Florida. In June of 2019, Bonner will

head to sergeant school. During this three-week course, Bonner will learn the leadership and paperwork skills that coincide with this rank. “I fell in love with the structure the army gave,” Bonner said. “I find it’s a lot easier to give myself timelines and have a strict schedule, even when I’m not training.” Bonner is an academic junior at the university and is studying entrepreneurship. He plans on starting his own business after graduating. Currently, Bonner is a part of the FGCU Runway Program, which is designed for young entrepreneurs to facilitate business growth through a series of courses. “Being in the army has challenged me to think differently,” Bonner said. “When building my company, I have used ideas both from the collective military side and my creative free-thinking side.” Bonner’s unit is one of the top firing batteries in the United States and one of the first units to be called for hurricanes, natural disasters, and public disorders. Because of this, Bonner has traveled all over the country and has had unique experiences. “There’s a lot of things that we

see that doesn’t get covered by the news, which would surprise a lot of people,” Bonner said. His unit was called to serve at Trump’s presidential inauguration in 2017. Bonner and his team held fencing to control rioters and keep the peace. “A big part of being in the military is professionalism, so no matter how you feel personally or politically, you have to act accordingly to the situation and make sure it gets handled properly,” Bonner said. Bonner’s unit has also served along the Mexican border. During this time, Bonner witnessed horror and was even shot. “The most shocking thing I saw was a 7-year-old girl being sex trafﬁcked across the border,” Bonner said. “Things like that break your heart. It’s something you never think goes on in the world or even your country.” Part of Bonner’s experience along the border was working with counter-cartel operations. Since there are still ongoing efforts, Bonner was not able to disclose all of the details. “We were out in one of the cities –that I can’t name– and we’re in the

distance watching these guys raid through a compound. The next thing you know, we’re getting shot at,” Bonner said. Bonner was shot in his mid to lower back. The bullet came from about three stories off the ground, according to Bonner. “You have a lot of adrenaline pumping through your body at the time, so you don’t feel what you think you feel,” Bonner said. “It isn’t until you look down and go into shock when it all hits you.” Bonner was transported to a hospital in Austin, Texas and underwent surgery. Bonner spent a month and half recovering. “It was a scary conversation to have with my parents,” Bonner said. “That worried them a lot. But I felt like I gave something up for the good.” These occurrences don’t intimidate Bonner. “Things like that motivate me to keep going,” Bonner said. “As much as people joke about not reenlisting, it makes me want to reenlist after seeing the good that we do ﬁrsthand.”

Eagle News can be found on campus and in the community and online daily at eaglenews.org.

ONE COPY PER READER One copy of the print edition is free to anyone, but limited one per reader. Newspaper theft is a crime. It is also a terribly effective form of censorship. While most college newspapers are distributed without charge, they certainly are not “free.” Publishing a student newspaper is an expensive undertaking. Like other types of theft, newspaper thieves deprive rightful owners of their valuable property.

STORM >> From A1 Hurricane Wind Scale, which categorizes hurricanes into one of ﬁve categories based on their wind speed. For example, according to the National Hurricane Center’s report on Irma, the storm was a Category 2 when it passed over FGCU, meaning that its winds were between 96 and 110 mph. Irma was not even that “strong” of a hurricane when it hit FGCU, but Everham still said it somewhat threatening. “I think that most people who study hurricanes would say that it’s a misnomer to think that the wind is the big deal,” Everham said. “The real danger of hurricanes comes from water rather than wind. It’s some combination of storm surge and rain.” Although it is difﬁcult to say whether FGCU could survive a stronger storm since the main threat of hurricanes doesn’t factor into strength, Everham was able to give some more insight on what the university is capable of surviving

ARMY >> From A1 When Bonner returns to Fort Myers, the transition isn’t always easy. “Whenever Quinn gets back from drill, he’s in army mode for a day or

based on his observations of Irma. Everham measured between 10 and 15 inches of rain from Irma, which drained by the next day due to the green space. He noted a similar occurrence less than a month earlier with the system that became Hurricane Harvey. He believes that had all 20 to 30 inches of this rain fallen at once, the campus would have ﬂooded regardless of the green space. Everham thinks that had Irma been a Category 5 hurricane, the campus might not have survived its wind regardless of how much rain there was but it was thankfully weak, rendering its wind speed irrelevant. Though it might seem odd that a relatively weak storm was able to ﬁll the campus to around half of its water capacity, this is not unusual given what is known about hurricanes. Landsea cited the translational velocity of a storm —not how fast the winds are but how fast the storm moves across the map— and

its size as the major factors behind said storm’s rainfall. “If it moves slowly, say 5 mph or less, you can get a ton of rain,” Landsea said. “If it’s a large storm, you get more rain as well. Those are the biggest disasters rainwise, when you get a storm that essentially stalls and causes a huge amount of rain.” Landsea cited August 2017’s Hurricane Harvey and September 2018’s Hurricane Florence as examples of storms like this. According to the NHC and National Weather Service reports, Harvey was, at its strongest, a Category 4 storm, dropping almost 5 feet of rain in Texas and Louisiana as it slowly moved along its path. Florence never became more than a Category 1 storm but it rained over 3 feet in some parts of North Carolina as it stalled over the state. Irma, despite being a Category 5 storm at some points, never dropped more than two feet of rain because of how quickly it moved across the map. Hurricane Michael

was a similar case in which it was a powerful Category 4 storm but didn’t drop more than 7 inches of rain due to its translational velocity. Moving forward, Landsea cited a few changes in how he believes Florida will experience hurricanes based on a study he conducted in 2015. “The number of storms… is expected to go down,” Landsea said. “On the ﬂip side, there’s this expectation that they’ll get slightly stronger… but only on the order of a few percent. In other words, there will be less storms overall but the storms that do hit will be around 3 or 4 mph faster. The question of whether FGCU could survive a given hurricane does not have a deﬁnitive answer, but based on Landsea and Everham’s statements on the role of rain in storm damage, it might be best to say that FGCU’s green space will keep the university safe so long as the storm does not stall over the region.

two and then goes back to being a goofball,” Butler said. Bonner calls Sundays and Mondays his readjustment period. However, he still incorporates army principles into his daily life at FGCU. Bonner joined Alpha Epsilon Pi, a

Jewish fraternity in 2016. “Never in my life did I think I would join one,” Bonner said. “Being in the army, I have the same brotherhood. I wanted that same feeling and same concept on campus.” Bonner is under contract to serve

with his unit until 2022, and still plans on being a part of it after graduating. “I’ll see where life takes me and see how much I can handle at once,“ Bonner said. “It’s been through and through, an awesome experience.”

Confederates should not be memorialized By Karina Cashman Staff Writer @FGCUEagleNews Recently, a statue honoring Confederate General Robert E. Lee was toppled from its pedestal on Monroe Street in Fort Myers. The statue has since been put back up, and there is currently no information on who took down the bust. As it turns out, the ongoing issue of confederate statues in America is not as simple as it may seem. Was this an act of protest or one of vandalism? The answer depends on who is asked. Lee is seen as a heroic figure to the American south for leading forces against the Union during the Civil War, in order to uphold the practice of slavery. Derrick Johnson, president of the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People), said, “Robert E. Lee does not reflect the America that we live in. We are not going to let this stand.”

While some argue that such statues represent an important time in our history, a rebuttal is that it represents the wrong side of history; that it honors those attempting to uphold immoral and inhumane acts and immortalizes the beliefs of a confederacy that fell in the war. The fact of the matter is that the issue isn’t so much with the statue itself but rather what the statue symbolizes. The confederacy was fighting to remove itself from the union and uphold the practice of slavery in the Civil War. The presence of Lee’s statue may be likened to a spit in the face of those still affected by the stereotypes, biases and injustice that slavery and racial tensions brought upon the African American community. So, in regard to the statue of General Lee that was destroyed, is it protest or vandalism? As I said before, it depends on who you ask. Some are still so influenced by in-

grained societal bias that they may not realize why others are upset at such statues’ place in modern America. Not all history needs to be memorialized, and certainly not all history needs to be honored. If we are to honor anyone, we should honor the victims whose lives, culture and freedom was stripped from them. We should honor them by doing better, by creating a more diverse and accepting America. We should strive to understand the plight of those still burdened by skin-color bias and understand that the confederacy that some are still so desperately clinging to was a desperate ploy to uphold the brutal act of slavery in every day America. We should understand that the confederacy and what it stood for is dead. We should not, however, immortalize the leader of a now-defunct, backwards movement in bronze. But again, I suppose it depends on who you ask.

Letter to the editor: Speaking up for the men To The Editor: This is the most challenging letter that I have ever written because it is probably impossible to say what I want to say without unintentionally offending some people. The bottom-line is this: While I disagree with his conservative-Republican political and economic views about 95% of the time, I happen to

agree with something that Fox News anchor Tucker Carlson says in his recent book. The gist of his position is that the women of 2019 in our country seem to dislike men overall much more so than did the women of previous decades and that women won’t admit it or talk about it. I see this in my life. I see it all around me. I wish that I could do something

to make things better between the sexes/genders in our country. I say this as a man who was sexually harassed by a female college professor when I was 25. I happen to have a lot of empathy and compassion for all victims and survivors of sexual harassment and sexual abuse/assault. I also say this as the first male Ph.D. Sociology student in all of Canada to

take and pass the Ph.D. comprehensive area specialization examination in “Women’s Studies” in the 1970s. I am still qualified and certified to be able to teach college courses in “Women’s Studies” and “Sex/Gender Roles.” I am speaking up for those men in our country who would never want to sexually harass or abuse or hurt a woman in any

way. We exist and do not deserve to have to hear the constant male-bashing that some women exhibit on a daily basis. Give us a break. We are not your enemy. We are on your side. Sincerely, Stewart B. Epstein 2266 Westside Drive Rochester, New York 14624 585-594-0610

It was announced on Monday that the FGCU women’s basketball team was given the No. 13 seed in the NCAA tournament. Though the official bracket was intended to be released during a live ESPN selection special, a technical mistake by ESPN revealed the bracket before the intended release time. This put a damper on the selection show watch party planned by FGCU women’s basketball on Monday night, but the team remained optimistic about the upcoming first round matchup. History may repeat itself when the Eagles play No. 3 seeded Miami in the first round on Friday, Mar. 22 at 9:30 p.m. This is similar to the 2017 NCAA tournament with the same firstround bracket. “We should have won the last time we played them,” said Tytionia Adderly, the only remaining Eagle from 2017’s loss, where FGCU was defeated by a mere two points in the final ten seconds of the game.

We’ll put together a game plan, and I expect to play well.” FGCU is ranked 63 in RPI and Miami is ranked 19 with a 24-8 record and a 16-2 home record.

Programming Board hosts “Mardi Gras Madness” By Nina Mendes Assistant E&L Editor @fgcueaglenews In honor of the Mardi Gras celebrations held in various countries across the globe, FGCU’s Programming Board decided to host its own ‘Fat Tuesday’ festivities on Friday in the Cohen Center Ballroom. The event was billed “Mardi Gras Madness” and took two months of planning to organize the traditional, holiday catering and the different activities that

were offered. Around 200 people attended the event that evening, showcasing their flashy beaded necklaces and Mardi Gras spirit. Purple, yellow and green decor lined the walls and was incorporated into centerpieces which livened up the scene. Goodie bags were awarded to participants, some of which contained free tickets to NestFest, which is coming up in early April. “PB chose this event because it was one that we have never done before, and my committee members were real-

ly excited to plan a Mardi Gras themed event,” said Director of Late-Night events Vanessa Kraft. “I think the food and the fact that everyone got a prize when they left is what drew people to the event.” Gumbo from Pinchers with fried chicken and cupcakes from Publix served as catering for the celebration. The stations at Mardi Gras Madness included a psychic tarot card reader, body painting, balloon art and a photo booth. Prevention and Wellness partnered

with Programming Board to serve mocktails to students throughout the night. Attendees were also able to create bath bombs and design custom laptop stickers to take home as souvenirs from the event. “I attended the event because [my] friend is on PB and it sounded like a lot of fun. My favorite [parts] were the balloons, body art station and tarot card reading,” said sophomore Aidan Fiala. “I thought it was a very well put-together event that everyone could enjoy, not just college students.”

San Francisco activist artist visits FGCU By Bruno Halpern E&L Editor @fgcueaglenews Mark Harris is a San Francisco-based activist artist who combines his passion for social justice into art. Harris specializes in collages, where pieces of paper, photographs, fabric and any material can be arranged. What drove Harris into this activist-creative path was the shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, in 2014. “This [style] came out of a sense of urgency,” Harris said. “It was out of necessity. There was so much inspiration that I had to get a way to get them out. Collage was perfect for me. We’re living so much in a photo-based society right now that was just like the perfect medium to do this kind of work.” Harris recently visited Parkland and Ft. Myers to gather inspiration for future work and to introduce it to college students. He spoke to journalism students

“I don’t wanna sit here and say I speak for every African-American,” Harris said. “Just like with any other culture, we’re not monolithic. But I will say that I know what a lot of them were thinking and feeling and have felt for a long time, and may not have been able to give an expression to it in a way that was healthy or just at all. I’d like to think that I’m speaking to some of them.” According to Harris, activism in art is essential for democracy, and that his own journey of using art as a medium for political messages has changed since he embarked on this journey. “I think [activism in art] has taken a different importance to me than when I first did this work,” Harris said. “Initially, it was very cathartic. It was a way for me to process my emotions around what was happening. When I began to see the response from people, it shifted. It was very positive, and I began to see it as allowing or creating EN Photos/Bruno Halpern an outlet for people to process San Francisco-based activist artist Mark Harris holds “Death of a what they lived through.

Harris’ collage art stands out in its engagement to the public on some of the most critical issues facing society today. One of the main images Harris draws inspiration from Life maganize’s ads from the 1950’s and 1960’s. “I wanted to use imagery that was powerful and designed to communicate a certain thing to get people to purchase products, to buy into a certain belief or ideal, and juxtapose them with other images from different eras that don’t match or even with my own street photography in San Francisco to create an alternative narrative to some of the issues that were unfolding over the last five years,” Harris said. Since Ferguson, many unarmed African-Americans were killed by the police and it sparked a national debate. Harris considers his art as an outlet for the African-American community to speak out.
