cent of the price they paid for a textbook then they hit the jackpot. According to Babonis, the KSC bookstore can almost never pay more than 50 percent and stay in business. “We would buy a $100 book for $50 and sell it next semester for $75. Is that a rip-off? If you have an understanding of how business works, no it’s not a rip-off,â€? Babonis said. After all expenses the KSC bookstore keeps four cents of every dollar, DFFRUGLQJ WR %DERQLV 7KDW SURĂ€W JRHV straight to the college and has helped fund things like the new Alumni Center. However, there have been cases in which VWXGHQWV KDYH EHHQ RIIHUHG VLJQLĂ€FDQWO\ less than what they originally paid for the textbook. Senior Sam Lusted said he bought a chemistry book for $180 at the KSC bookstore and was offered $30 at the end of the semester, and senior Ben Perkins said he once spent $400 on all his books and was offered $50 several months later when the semester was over. Babonis explained that these stories of exceptionally rapid depreciation are usually the results of two things. One, publishers have started “bundlingâ€? books with apparently necessary techQRORJLFDO FRPSRQHQWV WKDW KDYH VSHFLĂ€F access codes. “When [publishers] bundle those components with a book they will virtually throw them into the bundle at almost no cost, but when you purchase them separately they charge an arm and a leg,â€? Babonis said. If a student tries to sell one of these bundled books without the added component, they may be offered a price lower than 50 percent. But the most likely reason that the KSC bookstore would offer less than 50 percent for a textbook is that not all textbooks will be used again for a KSC course. When a student tries to sell a textbook that will not be used in the next semester, the KSC bookstore usually buys the

textbook and ships it off to a wholesaler that acts as a sort of middleman to the PLGGOHPHQ WDNLQJ LWV RZQ SURĂ€W Babonis also estimated that when the buyback period starts the KSC bookstore will only know about 65 percent of the textbooks needed for the next semester, despite the Higher Education Opportunity Act, which encourages colleges to disclose 100 percent of the required textbooks by this time. However, some professors just don’t always get their order sheets in on time. But it is not always the professors’ fault; Babonis said, “We have a lot of adjuncts here and a lot of them don’t know if they’re going to be teaching.â€? This means that the KSC bookstore will probably sell dozens of textbooks to wholesalers this year, only to buy them back a few months later when professors start getting their order sheets in. When the KSC bookstore offers students less than 50 percent of the purchase price for a textbook--for whatever reason--they actually create the market IRU WH[WERRN UHVHOOHUV 7KH SOD\LQJ Ă€HOG becomes even. When asked what advice he had for students, Leiberman said, “[Penntext’s] motto is dare to compare.â€? Babonis, when asked the same question, echoed Lieberman, “I think students need to be wise shoppers. I’d like to see students become more aware [when buying textbooks].â€?

community—There are thousands of migrant workers in New Hampshire, Vermont and this issue is not wellknown enough,â€? KSC professor and leader of the Fair Trade Club Tamara Stenn stated. Brendan O’Neil, the campaign coordinator of 0LJUDQW -XVWLFH DWWHQGHG WKH Ă€OP VFUHHQLQJ DW .6& He was accompanied by Madeline Sharrow, founding member of the Migrant Justice organization. After listening to an audience member’s query on what exactly the organization is about and what it’s goal is, O’Neil explained, “The organization was started after the death of a farm worker who was killed at work which woke up people to this issue of the severe conditions that the workers have to endure when they are working in Vermont trying to bring milk and cheese to the table. A group of us gathered together and responded to that and that response over time became what is now, Migrant Justice.â€? O’Neil added, “Our philosophy from the beginning was about how we have heard about migrant workers, but it was always through other people’s interpretations of what migrant workers need and our goal was to change this by getting farm workers together in Vermont to speak for themselves and have a community and how to improve life.â€? As a result of the organization’s impact, they have changed sections of the police policy in Vermont. It has become involved with the unfair treatment of unpaid wages and abuse and help build alliances with farmers, O’Neil explained. O’Neil elaborated that Migrant Justice is a campaign that helps migrant workers have their voices heard. In one case right before the group arrived at Keene they were at the Vermont State House checking in about the bill that they are trying to pass that will allow migrant workers to obtain a driver’s license. “We are [migrant workers] asking for respect and rights,â€?

As the images were being shown, a background of voices of migrant workers (translated into English in subtitles) played, introducing themselves, their names, their age and where they came from. The ages ranged from early 20s to early 30s and the majority of workers lacked documentation. An everyday life for the migrant worker starts at “4:30 a.m. to prep everything and get the cows ready to be milked. We get [three to four] hours of sleep,â€? a PLJUDQW ZRUNHU VWDWHG GXULQJ WKH Ă€OP 7KH\ GR QRW JHW normal break hours and have ten-hour shifts. The same migrant worker then expressed, “The majority of jobs we have Americans don’t want.â€? “I had no idea that there was migrant workers working in dairy farms.

so of free time to do so. From the words of the migrant workers during the movie, they are isolated, alone and barricaded by language. If they are fortunate enough, some migrant workers buy pay-as-you-go cell phones to call their loved ones and friends for brief moments to catch up. Madrigal explained that out of necessity he came to work in the United States “to give himself and his family a better life,â€? a story all too similar to why the 11 million migrant workers are here today.

Huot said. Huot’s father attended the ceremony at KSC. Wearing a smile and bright tie, Mr. Huot applauded passionately and held his tears while his daughter gave KHU Ă€UVW VSHHFK DV WKH QHZ KHDG of Keene State College. Huot’s professional background has raised expectations and is an exciting feature for some faculty and staff members of KSC. Huot has a leaning towards science, and her background in Biology and Medicine has allowed her to work in different research projects, administer programs and teach multiple science courses. Renate Gebauer, environmental studies professor, said she believes Huot will support sciences at KSC as well as all the other departments of the college. “I strongly feel that she has a commitment to the liberal art education and I don’t think that she will favor the sciences,â€? Gebauer stated. Gebauer remarked the importance of Huot’s skills regarding data analysis and problem solving. “I think it is very important to look at data and know how to interpret it in order to make a wise decision,â€? Gebauer said. Huot earned a B.S. in Medical Technology from the University of New Hampshire in 1980, a M.S., in Medical Technology and a Ph.D in Cell & Molecular Biology from the University of Vermont. After completing her graduate studies, Huot spent several years teaching undergraduate as well as graduate level courses. She also directed different academic and research programs in the University of Vermont. She has taught multiple Biology classes like Biomedical Technologies and Cell and Molecular Biology. Huot has also worked with institutions like the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical

Center. In 2004, Huot moved to New York to join the faculty of the College of Health Related Professions, of Upstate Medical University. Later in 2007, she became a professor of the Department of Biology, College at Brockport, State University of New York. “In whichever aspect of life you are successful at, you must come with the intention to give back to the community,â€? Huot said when she visited KSC in early March. Huot expressed that she believes “Keene is an incredibly engaged community that thinks passionately about students’ success and has an eagerness to move forward.â€? In order to come to KSC, Huot is leaving her Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs positions at Brockport State University in New York. Huot said that one of her priorities as the new KSC president is to make students become more involved in college life. “Students have a place in every committee that the institution puts together to study an issue. That will continue. It is an important way to get students involved,â€? Huot said. Huot also stated that she is excited to become closer to the student body. “From a personal perspective, I believe it is important to be present, whether it is at a basketball game, a performance or simply a lecture,â€? she concluded. The Search Committee Chair George Epstein expressed the trustees’ support for Huot. “We are very proud to have a woman that has demonstrated quality and has developed a successful career in teaching and managing,â€?

EDITORIAL

Students just want a clean place, that’s reasonably priced

College housing is always a hot topic amongst students. If they live on campus, the issues of discussion usually resemble, ‘Ugh, a bunch of students broke more lights last night, and now we all have to pay.’ For those living off campus, the complaints usually sound like, ‘Our landlord hasn’t called me back for three days and our doorknob is still broken.’ Both situations indeed have their own set of problems, but they DOVR KDYH EHQHĂ€WV GHSHQGLQJ RQ ZKDW D VWXGHQW QHHGV WKDW VFKRRO \HDU But what this topic of college housing comes down to is that students want the cheapest housing, period. Because with either situation, unexpected costly expenses will happen. The real reason students move off campus is for a cheaper place and to be more independent. When some students start to reach the end of their sophomore year and start to feel more mature, and want to be able to shower in the morning without waiting on a bunch of underclassmen or feel like Campus Safety is watching their every move. We reach that age where ZH VHH WKH EHQHĂ€WV RI OLYLQJ RQ FDPSXV IRU D FRXSOH \HDUV EXW WKHQ ZH realize it’s time to move on. And we’re not too picky about where we’re living either. We’re more concerned about the unknown price tags waiting for us at school, or the daunting loans that face us after we graduate. For example, take a male sophomore student who was placed in an Owl’s Nest for their next school year. They would probably be excited about not having to check in with a desk attendant every time they come and go, plus the larger living room space, and spacious bathroom. Their parents however would be more concerned about the leaking FHLOLQJ SHUKDSV RU WKH GLUW\ Ă RRUV If this same student decided to move off campus, he would be thrilled at having his own room, bigger than a shared dorm, along with a kitchen, back yard and maybe a small porch.

But the fact is that these students know they will only be living here for one year, so why worry about the little things? The Equinox feels that if the school wants more students to move into the new residential buildings there needs to be a price change. The price of an apartment in Arcadia Hall is about $800 with all utilities included, according to an Equinox article published on October 3, 2012. This is more than the average off-campus house, which usually goes for $600 with all utilities included. However, more students moving off campus are helping to increase the cost of living off campus.

and Poppy Harlow was one of sympathy—for the defendants. The two reporters lamented on how two promising football stars had their lives ruined. When defendant Malik Richmond wept in court during an apology to the victim, the reporters expressed their sorrow for the young man who had his whole life ahead of him. “What’s the lasting effect that will happen to these boys who are convicted of rape?� Crowley asked a CNN legal analyst. Nowhere in the segment was there a question of the lasting impact on the victim of the rape. The outrage at this sympathy caused an explosion on the internet, with many people and petitions calling to boycott CNN. One petition on Change. org has garnered a million signatures. Other critics have also accused news sources such as USA Today and ABC News of garnering the same sympathy for the defendants rather than the person who was raped and humiliated on Twitter. I could write about this petition and the media’s coverage on the trial. Sure, the coverage is disheartening but not surprising, given that sensational coverage of someone’s downfall is typical in the media.

JULIE CONLON

STUDENT LIFE EDITOR “A picture is worth a thousand words,â€? or so the saying goes.

Annie Fernandez, program assistant for the GEO, said approximately 40 students submitted photos. She explained students have the opportunity to submit three photos within two separate categories—“Global Engagementâ€? and “General Study Away.â€? One photo for each category is selected as the winner through a general voting process, and one photo is selected as runner up. Fernandez said voting is open to the college and to the general public, and estimated they received approximately 200 votes this year. .6& MXQLRU .LP /¡KHXUXH[ ZRQ WKH Ă€UVW place “General Awardâ€? for her photo of the Victoria Falls in Zambia, Africa, when she studied in Botswana during the fall 2012.

Writing the caption was kind of just like opening a new spot where people could travel to, giving them an idea of what it’s like to be in a different spot.â€?

When you come back, there’s a lot to integrate into your life back home, so you need outlets to talk and express what you just experienced—the fun and all, but also the part that changes inside of you when you’re studying somewhere else.â€? L’heurex reiterated Fernandez’s statement and said showing her some odd 3,000 photos with friends and family has been the easiest way for her to attempt to bring her experiences home. “They’re just--it’s a piece of you that you can bring back or a piece of your memory abroad. Obviously a photo doesn’t capture every moment or the emotion necessarily, but whenever I look at my photos a million emotions run back. I want to share with people back here to show them what I did for a semester and how it changed my life.â€?

The junior continued, “I think having the ability to share photos is wonderful because you’re able to express what you kind of did in a sense.

She explained townships exist in the wake of the apartheid where colored people were forced to move. In the photo, Leclerc described herself as being “playfully attackedâ€? by children seeking bread. Leclerc said, “The people there are really poor. They’re sick. They just live in really bad conditions. But they’re so happy and they’re so nice and generous and love talking to and interacting with you. The kids are still happy and love being there and just playing and being kids basically.

Senior Devan Witzenbocker was the runner up in the general category for his photo taken in Paris, and Annie White, a junior, was runner up for the global engagement category for her photo of the Charles Bridge in Prague.

Freshman Matt Brown said he thinks sex burns a lot of calories, “because you’re working everything.â€? He also said that sex is a good alternative to working out because, “I enjoy it more than walking.â€? Aldarraji said she doesn’t think people substitute sex with working out. “I think they could be like ‘Oh, well I exercised today,’ but I don’t think they’ll really change their exercise pattern because of that. If they workout already I feel like they’re still going to workout.â€? Some people have the desire to skip right to dessert, and there is nothing wrong with that. However, skipping breakfast may not be as fun as the “workout.â€? Marion Nestle, a professor of nutrition and health studies at New York University, told the Los Angeles Times, “I am well aware that everyone says breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but I am not convinced.â€? Nestle wrote in her book, “What to Eat,“ that “What you eat -- and how much -- matters more to your health than when you eat.â€? Mark Mattson, a neuroscientist at the National Institute on Aging, spoke similarly on the subject of skipping breakfast in a Los Angeles Times article. He said, “No clear evidence shows that the skipping of breakfast or lunch [or both] is unhealthy, and animal data suggest quite the opposite.â€? Mathews said she thinks eating breakfast is an important part of being healthy. “The American Dietetic Association as well as many other professional health organizations recommend that people consume breakfast because throughout the evening, if you’ve been sleeping or even if you’ve been working, you’re spending energy, so you’re fasting.â€? Mathews continued, “If a person doesn’t refuel at breakfast your body will just be relying upon itself to provide you with energy, so it’s actually going to break down the energy stores you have within you.â€? Mathews continued and said it’s recommended to snack, “because otherwise you might feel ravenous when you do Ă€QG WKH WLPH WR HDW DQG WKHQ \RX possibly over consume because it takes a little while for your brain to

even realize that you’re full.â€? Aldarraji said she thinks breakfast is important because of its effect on the metabolism. “I think the point of eating breakfast is to start your metabolism is why they’re saying that you will gain weight.â€? The student continued, “I don’t think it’s because you will eat more or less. I think it’s just the fact of how your body works, like you should eat breakfast because it will start your metabolism and give you energy and things like that and I still think that’s the most important meal of the day.â€? Mathews said that eating habits will always be unique to the person. She stated, “With health information it’s not cut and dry, it’s not black and white. Everyone has different situations. Everyone has their own medical backgrounds own medical history and different situations in their daily life in the future.â€? The wellness coordinator gave students advice to not fall victim to these myths. She stated, “In the long run that person will have to make a decision,â€? she explained, “What students might be experiencing right now is something they’re going to experience once they graduate too, where you’ll have people that are giving you different points of view and then you need to research it on your own, get advice from people who you trust, and I don’t mean just trust like you know a family member or friend, but who you trust knows has the best medical information the best health information.â€? Mathews also said, “I think that it’s hard for people to know who to believe and what resources to believe. I think people search for information but often times they’re not actually using valid resources.â€? She concluded and stated another recommendation for SHRSOH WU\LQJ WR Ă€JXUH RXW KHDOWK myths. She said, “I would just recommend that people be skeptical at Ă€UVW DQG GR UHVHDUFK RQ WKHLU RZQ before they make a decision.â€?

COMMENTARY

Her albums are off the charts, but her magazines hit rock bottom SAM NORTON

A&E EDITOR 329,371—that’s how many copies sold of Taylor Swift’s Vogue cover. However, this number pales in comparison to Lady Gaga’s 602,000 copies. But is it who’s on the cover of these magazines or is it the wording present on the covers that entices the public to pick up the newest copy of Vogue or Elle magazine? Magazines always promise something we don’t know: an inside peek into the lives of the celebrities we swoon after. But each article we read is equivalent to the rest--they repeat what we know and don’t tell us what we don’t. Despite knowing that the article we will read will be like the rest, we still purchase magazines. Maybe it’s because we stay loyal to our celebrities. According to the article “Best and Worst Sellers at the Newsstandâ€? published by Women’s Wear Daily, “One takeaway for the fashion glossies is that singers do well at the newsstand, just perhaps not those who have been overexposed. And the thickest months, March and September, continue to be reliable sellers.â€? Swift graced the cover of Glamour magazine in November, selling over 443,000 copies; however, reality TV star Lauren Conrad sold over 500,000 copies in their May issue, making her the best-selling celebrity. According to the article “Taylor Swift Magazine Covers Not Selling Strongly on 1HZVVWDQGVÂľ SXEOLVKHG E\ WKH +XIĂ€QJWRQ Post, “So does Swift’s newsstand success PLUURU KHU ORYH OLIH Ă DVK\ QHZ GHYHORSPHQWV DW HYHU\ WXUQ WKDW Ă RS MXVW DV TXLFNO\ as they began? Glamour’s editor-in-chief Cindi Leive actually draws a connection between Swift’s cover failures and her revolving door of boyfriends.â€? However, the types of magazines that celebrities are posing for may also help determine the projected sales. In December, Swift was booked for the cover of Cosmopolitan magazine when Joanna Coles became the new editor in chief of the sex-and-makeup monthly. Swift’s cover was the weakest issue of the year, selling a little over a million copies, falling 20 percent below the six-month average, Women’s Wear Daily reports. Even actress Zooey Deschanel sold more copies than Swift. Who these magazine publishing companies choose to put on the cover is almost as important as what is in the issue. In Cosmopolitan’s defense, sex sells—but Swift doesn’t. Women’s Wear Daily states, “What worked for Cosmo? Scarlett Johansson took the top prize, with 1.5 million copies, but the August cover with Ashley Greene was ranked second, selling about 1.4 million. Was it the ‘Twilight’ connection or the promise of ‘52 sex tips inspired by ‘Fifty Shades of Grey?’â€? But what really sells a magazine is the popularity of a given celebrity, especially in D VSHFLĂ€F WLPH IUDPH Their current status will dictate how many copies are sold, because if they’re not

in the spotlight, why spend the money? “Vampires are the meme of the moment. Understood. So obviously a ‘Best Vampire’ cover category is created—look, the magazine industry is still hip! As big of a groan as the mere existence of this category elicits [these awards are meant to celebrate quality journalism, not fads of the moment], the nominees, pardon the pun—or don’t—suck. Five of the six covers are of Robert Pattinson promoting Twilight. Wouldn’t the creation of a separate category for a topic imply that there were enough options in that category to yield a varied, quality list of nominees? In this case,

no. It appears to be a shameless PR ploy, and an uninteresting one at that,â€? The Atlantic states. However, it’s not just who’s on the cover—it’s the design that holds weight as well.

not let this disability label him. Because this play was based on the experiences of soldiers’ lives, rather than advocating the political aspect of war, the play did not cause controversy and that is what the director of the show wanted.

Green Lantern learns how to find true love WES SERAFINE

EQUINOX STAFF Kyle Rayner has but one emotion left to master, and one that may be his hardest challenge yet. Rayner must master the violet light of love, wielded by the powerful all-female group known as the Star Sapphires. Mastering love shouldn’t be a problem for Rayner; he’s one of the good guys, right? Unfortunately, mastering this power is not that simple for anyone, especially Rayner. But regardless, he’d better hurry, because The Guardians of the Universe, the founders of the Green

Lanterns Corps and their monstrous creations known as The Third Army are closing in—fast. We begin with the Star Sapphires looking into Rayner’s mind, trying to awaken the power of love, something that Rayner has unknowingly sealed himself off from for a great deal of his life. We see Rayner as a young child when his father leaves his mother. The Sapphires observe that this should have caused Rayner to react emotionally, and yet, the young child remains silent and stoic, never seeing and rarely speaking of his father ever again. The next memory shows Rayner with Alex, his now deceased girlfriend. His experience with his father seems to have caused him to close his heart to true love, as he cannot say the words “I love you too, Alex,� hiding behind his humor. The grisly murder of Alex at the hands of a deranged super villain didn’t help Rayner to open his heart either. The next memory is even more painful. Rayner and the other Lanterns are throwing a birthday party for Ganthet, one of the Guardians of The Universe who hand-picked Rayner to join the Corps. During his time with the Corps, Ganthet becomes the

The Sapphires arrive to try and tip the scales, just as Ganthet summons the Third Army. The Sapphires believe that killing Ganthet is necessary but Rayner refuses to let them, believing that the Ganthet he knows is still in there somewhere. Ganthet nearly kills Rayner, but Rayner’s refusal to give up on him unlocks the power of the Violet light of love within him and transforms Rayner into a White Lantern, with power over all emotions and all lantern powers.

Halford said, “We’ve got these lines that get recycled throughout because they do demonstrate some sort of community—we at least have this in common, a common reference to rely on.â€? According to Dr. Sally Joyce, professor of English, “It’s not just funny things characters say. Of course that’s important too, people repeat those things. Like when Clint Eastwood said, ‘Make my day’.â€? Humans are creatures of habit, and the language we use ultimately helps us experience the world; we are not aware of the word choice we are using. “With this generation they have become so unconscious, they don’t even realize it. The more you hear it [curse words] in the media, it desensitizes you and you feel like there is nothing wrong with it because it becomes accepted as the norm,â€? Akkoor said. The norm of society was once more formal writing. However, with the

onset and development of technology and the media, this idea of formal writing is one that is no longer prevalent in our society. But when this type of speech composes our surroundings, it’s impossible to ignore. More importantly, it’s impossible to turn off. ´/DQJXDJH KDV WR UHĂ HFW ZKDW LV going on, it has to keep-up, it has to update or it becomes Latin,â€? Halford said. While language may update as quickly as technology, it’s important to maintain a level of formality in your speech. “It [language] seems to be becoming less and less formalized. At some point people are going to have to start using apostrophes correctly because otherwise they are changing the meaning,â€?

We are no longer solely LQĂ XHQFHG E\ QRYHOV RU WKH ODQJXDJH present among our community. Rather, we look to the media to learn what to say and what not to say. “Nobody reads anymore. I feel like reading opens up so many more opportunities for the imagination because you are going off of the description and you are creating your own image of something, rather if it is just given to you there is only one way of looking at it,â€? Akkoor said. And the way language is presented to the public provides us with only one

way to look at it. But sometimes what we do say is similar to earlier decades. “Speech changes very much over time periods. Some of the slang you are using today is really from the ’50s, ’60s and ’70s,� Joyce said. While our speech has evolved over a period of time due to the media’s increasing presence among society— these various mediums have not completely changed our language; rather they have created a platform for more voices to be made known. “I don’t believe that the media has changed how language has used at all. It has simply made more people’s voices heard,� Halford said, “A lot of messages you are getting out there from the media that you simply couldn’t care less about, don’t make you a better thinker, they don’t make you more informed, they make you better at tuning stuff out.� Even if we tune out the media—the messages they embed, and the language present in the various mediums—it is still hard to ignore that the media is everywhere, even in our speech. But, just because the media’s everywhere, doesn’t mean it’s our reality and has a place in our day-to-day conversations. Akkoor said, “I wonder sometimes if you can even distinguish between that this is not reality and this is the world of imagination.� 6DP 1RUWRQ FDQ EH FRQWDFWHG DW VQRUWRQ#NHHQH HTXLQR[ FRP

All rely on catheters — hollow tubes that let doctors burn away and reshape heart tissue or correct defects through small holes in blood vessels. “This is the replacement for the

surgeon’s knife. Instead of opening the chest, we’re able to put catheters in through the leg, sometimes through the arm,� said Dr. Spencer King of St. Joseph’s Heart and Vascular Institute in Atlanta. He is former president of the American College of Cardiology. Its conference earlier this month featured research on these novel devices. “Many patients after having this

kind of procedure in a day or two can go home� rather than staying in the hospital while a big wound heals, he said. It may lead to cheaper treatment, although the initial cost of the novel devices often offsets the savings from shorter hospital stays. Not everyone can have catheter treatment, and some promising devices have hit snags in testing.

Workers this month began painting the concrete facades of buildings in Jalousie slum a rainbow of purple, peach, lime and cream, inspired by the dazzling “cities-in-the-skiesâ€? of well-known Haitian painter Prefete Duffaut, who died last year. The $1.4 million effort titled “Beauty versus Poverty: Jalousie in Colorsâ€? is part of a government project to relocate people from the displacement camps that sprouted up after Haiti’s 2010 earthquake. The relocation has targeted a KDQGIXO RI KLJK SURĂ€OH FDPSV LQ 3RUW DX 3ULQFH by paying a year’s worth of rent subsidies for residents to move into neighborhoods like Jalousie. The government is now trying to spruce up these poor neighborhoods and introduce city services. “We’re not trying to do Coconut Grove. We’re not trying to do South Beach,â€? said Clement Belizaire, director of the government’s housing relocation program, referring to Miami neighborhoods. “The goal that we are shooting for is a neighborhood that is modest but decent, where residents are proud to be from that area.â€?

Belizaire said he welcomes controversy, adding that the project’s visibility is important. It’s a concrete accomplishment for the government and he contends that it does indeed help Jalousie residents. “People are sitting on the balcony, having a beer, smoking a cigarette — whatever — and you have all of Port-au-Prince at your feet, and you’re living in colors,â€?

junior college, Dustin got into Keene State College, the only school he applied to. Now the challenge for Dustin is carving out a role on his father’s team.

Dustin said the talent and atmosphere at the college level are completely different and it’s clear Ken is going to allow his son to develop on the junior varsity team for at least some of the year. “He’s doing a good job,â€? Ken said. “He’s a freshman so he’s still learning. He’s got things to work on just like everybody else.â€? Although he’s familiar with Dustin’s game (his scouting tapes double as home movies), Ken actually hasn’t ever coached his son before. ´,W¡V IXQ ,W¡V GHĂ€QLWHO\ DQ H[SHULHQFH Âľ Ken said. “But I get paid to coach a baseball team, not my son, so if he messes up he’s going to get yelled at just like everybody else.â€?

While checking report cards used to be Ken’s responsibility as a parent, it now becomes part of his job description. “It’s nice, he’s not doing anything to be a headache,â€? Ken said. “Which is good because he’d get it worse from me because I’m his father.â€? Dustin knows. “He’s harder on me than the other guys because he has to be,â€? Dustin said.

At the end of every game, the teams will cheer one another, complimenting them or honoring them somehow. In this instance, the U-Maine team wanted to give Jared Dimascio, a player on the KSC team, a spirit award. The ultimate culture has evolved more into a way of life. Robert Brouillard, one of the players on the U-Maine team, said, “We didn’t come here just to party, or to play frisbee; we came here to do this, to spread the spirit.â€? All sports have their cultures, but the ultimate frisbee culture is unique. There are no referees, and there are no head coaches. Players call fouls on each other and then either accept it, or contest it rationally. It holds sportsmanship paramount, because ZLWKRXW LW WKH VSRUW FRXOGQ¡W H[LVW 7KLV VRUW of culture bonds players in a way no other sports do. It’s more of a sport than people give it credit for.

wasn’t a chore. The conversation evolved from each other’s wellbeing to the tournament. One team from Colorado had swept ahead in the standings. “They must have gotten those points and then the break wind hit,â€? Ryan Fischer, a sophomore and a captain of the team, said. Murmurs of agreement broke out around the table, and they started discussing the possible weather conditions for the ensuing games. Finally, it was agreed that they should get some sleep.

Everyone got their colors, and slowly but surely segregated themselves into teams. McCadden was on the salmon team, along with students from across the country. The

team bonded immediately, making jokes DERXW WKHLU FRORU DQG Ă€QGLQJ RXW D OLWWOH about each other.

Spizzirri hurt his hand in a bid in the second game, but he kept playing for the entire day. “I played varsity baseball, but it’s different. Ultimate is the same amount of competition but more fun. I’ve found it’s harder to love and still have fun in other sports.â€? Andrew Knight from Wentworth in Connecticut overheard the interview with Spizzirri and added some comments. Knight said, “I played other sports but they started getting too political. Parents were getting too involved. It became less and less fun.

An unnamed guy climbed up on his friend’s shoulders and said, “there are good ships, and there are wood ships, the ships that sail the sea.

Jared DiMascio, a KSC alumnus, founded the KSC ultimate team in 2007, came down to High Tide with the team. “I consider myself an athlete,â€?
