The link between meat products and cancer DOROTHY ENGLAND

Equinox Staff While many would argue that everything ago, the World Health Organization (WHO) released news that cured and processed meats, such as bacon, ham and chicken nuggets, cause cancer. At KSC, where many are away from home, they question if and how the dining services will respond.

KSC sophomore Elizabeth Rushford said she tries to eat healthy when she has the time and ability, and that it depends right now on “I would like more fresh fruits and fresh veggies from farms around us; that would be cool,” Rushford said.

Although Rushford said she had not heard about WHO’s announcement, she said she would potentially change her diet, “If I’m given more information about it.”

KSC junior Connor Havron said he heard about this in the news.

“I mean, it makes sense; if you’ve watch ‘Food Inc,’ you can see all the machinery that goes into it. It’s not actually farming anymore; it’s more like a mad science type of deal,” Havron said.

Havron also said, however, that everything causes cancer these days.

“You can’t do anything without having a risk of it. I mean, I’m probably going to choose to still eat meat, I’m probably going to eat more if I can get it organic, but I’m in college; I don’t have much money.”

General Manager of the Dining Services Josef Quirinale said it is more expensive and would clean out the student’s meal plan budget.

“It’s three times the price of [non-local] food so when we do a local lunch for instance, which we do once a semester, that lunch costs three times the amount of a normal lunch,” Quirinale said.

He also commented on the fact that much of the growing season occurs when school is not in session. “[However], 18.5 percent of what we serve in the dining commons is local,” Quirinale said.

He said the other issue is that it’s not that easy to acquire local food for the DC. “They [local farms] would have to carry insurance and many times the insurance is too costly for a small farmer,” Quirinale said.

He said this insurance is required in case of a recall. Quirinale said Black River, a Vermont produce company, keeps track of where they

get their food items in case of an issue, which Quirinale said is vital in order to keep the KSC community safe.

KSC sophomore Rebecca Hayes said it’s important to be conscious of the food we choose.

“I don’t know how much power we would have to change what’s going on exactly, but the more awareness the better,” Hayes said. She said she does eat a lot of meat, but mostly because she has to.

“I have a lot of allergies,” Hayes said, “so I don’t have a lot of options.”

KSC Senior Ginnelle Campbell said she’s things besides meat at the DC. “Maybe when I get home I could change that a little,” Campbell said.

Campbell also said she’s from Jamaica and thinks American food is worse than Jamaican food.

“The meat that we eat [in Jamaica] is actually… very healthy because it’s usually meat that we raised ourselves: chickens and pigs,” Campbell said.

Community organization aims to aid addicts JACOB KNEHR

Equinox Staff A newly created community-based group is building bridges from people with addictions to programs that can help.

Keene Hates Heroin was established on August 6, in response to growing concerns among community members about the prevention and treatment facildrug addictions. The goal of Keene Hates Heroin is to addicts who cannot do it alone.

Co-founder of Keene Hates Heroin Kate Pence said, “I’ve always wanted to help addicts in one way or another because my parents were addicts. A lot of people think that all addicts are the same and that none of them can them want help, but they just don’t know how to get it.”

Keene Hates Heroin meets at the Colony Mill on events and “clean-ups” of nearby parks for needles and to provide help for addicts. The organization has close to ten members who actively attend meetings, but their Facebook page currently has 1,056 followers.

Co-founder of Keene Hates Heroin Dave Pence commented on the growing support of the organization through social media. “We try to get the community involved as much as we can, that way they can have a voice involved so it makes it easier for them to do something. We started out as two groups and then combined them. Once we started holding events, we went from days it’s hard to keep up with,” Pence said.

He continued, “I guess our biggest goal is to have every resource for addicts in one place, whether it’s after-care, whether it’s getting them into rehab, whether it’s calling someone to dispose of medication or needles.

We want everything in one place.”

Katie commented about the organization’s involvement with the community in raising awareness, “We just did a booth at Pumpkinfest to help raise money. It wasn’t as much as we expected, but we did pretty good.

Quirinale said the dining services faculty really tries to listen to students’ needs response.

Quirinale said, however, that he neither has nor wants the power to dictate what others eat. He said this is why even though the verdict is out that consumption of processed meats may be dangerous, he doesn’t think that means he should get rid of it.

Community members including Keene State College students made the trip across Main Street and into the Cheshire Historical Society in Keene on Tuesday, November 3 to see Democratic Candidate and Governor of Maryland, Martin O’Malley. O’Malley took questions from the crowd and addressed issues like gun control, drugs, student debt and raising minimum wage. Along with talking about popular issues, O’Malley stressed the message of his campaign, “Actions not words” and focused on the future of America.

“Our country needs new leadership, our country has big challenges and we can't be this disappointed with how our gridlock congress isn't working and how many people our economy is leaving behind and think a return to yesterday or old leaders will lead us forward we are people who always wake up facing the future,” O’Malley said.

He continued, “I believe that we're all in this together. I believe that we are on the threshold of the new area of american progress. It only requires us to face forward to remember that we are all in this together. If you ever get discouraged about gridlock politics talk to our young people under 30

BRIEF

Local elections over, new councilors start in January KENDALL POPE

Managing ExEcutivE Editor The local elections have concluded and the new councilare Randy Filiault, George Hansel, Bettina Chadbourne, Gary Lamoureux and Jay Kahn. Bettina Chadbourne and Gary Lamoureux were unavailable to comment before deadline.

Randy Filiault is the only councilor at large who was reelected for this term and said the one word he can use to describe the feeling of being re-elected is humbled. Filiault was born and raised in Keene and has been involved with city government for over 17 years. He said that although new people are joining the council, the council will just continue to move forward with regular business. “ For those who are new councilors they'll have to get up

to date and do their homework very rapidly and there's not a lot of training, so they're going to have to do the homework and be ready to go,” Filiault said.

Incoming councilor and current Vice President of Finance and Planning at KSC Jay Kahn said he was very grateful for all the people who came out to vote for him, especially the Keene State community. “ Voters showed their love for the community and interest in seeing it thrive in terms of diversity and economic climate and in terms of creating greater opportunities in the city,” Kahn said.

Kahn said he is excited for this next chapter in his life since he will be retiring from KSC in January and begin his councilor at large career.

“The plan has always been to be involved in my community and remain involved with higher education and be able to still have time to contribute to my family and grandkids

and other interests that I have,” Kahn said.

George Hansel is also a new, young face to the council who said he is excited to get to work for the city and all its residents.

“I’m optimistic for the future of Keene and I think we have good people in place with newer ideas and I also think that economic development is at the front of people's minds which is encouraging,” Hansel said.

Something Hansel said one of his goals is to make the city more attractive to young professionals.

“I think we have a lot of opportunities here and I’m hopeful that the city government t will be behind us in bringing high paying jobs to the area,” Hansel said.

STAFF COMMENTARY

High school incident sheds light on excessive force CLAIRE HICKEY

Equinox Staff

how to properly apprehend a suspect – especially because how they are trained probably has a lot to do with where they will be working.

A recent viral video showing police brutality has sparked a nationwide conversation regarding the root problem of the issue. Students everywhere, even at Keene State College, have begun to question if they can rely on local law enforcement or fear them.

While some insist these violent acts are due to racism, it seems to me that the problem lies in police training.

The video, which takes place in a South Carolina high school classroom, depicted an African American teenage girl being yanked and thrown from her desk by

STAFF COMMENTARY

Independence comes with assistance weight, there were still people who made sure I didn’t crumble as I continued to reach milestones in my life.

There have been numerous instances I really did need help to do the things I needed or wanted to do.

One day I was in the driveway of my friend Mike’s house and I decided I wanted to try walking a hundred steps on my own without falling.

So I basically walked aimlessly across the pavement.

Mike was standing in front of me and was walking backwards with his hands out, counting with each step.

There were a few moments when my knees buckled or I would stagger or get tripped up, but, when I would regain my composure, Mike would tell me to keep going and I did.

From what I remember, I accomplished my goal and then some.

Mike didn’t have to take the time to help me do that.

I’m sure there was other things a nine year old could be doing besides helping his handicapped friend with something that, in reality, probably didn’t have any

JACOB BARRET

Equinox Staff My goal in life is to be completely independent, but I never will be, and neither will you.

I wrote an Opinions piece a few weeks ago talking about how people constantly ask me if I need help, and how that can be somewhat detrimental for people with disabilities such as myself and able-bodied individuals as well.

While that remains true, it is also important to recognize that no one gets to where they are today without help.

For instance, when I was learning how to walk on one’s arm while I went through the motions of taking each step.

If I fell, they were there to make sure I didn’t get didn’t realize it at the time, but I wasn’t the one doing all of the work and, even when I could bare all of my

and he supported me while I did.

Looking back on it now, even though I was the one walking, I don’t think I could’ve reached that goal without him.

As appealing as it may be to say you fought your way through life on your own, or that you want to be completely independent, it’s most likely not true.

There’s always someone who has had a part of making you who you are today, someone who has helped you keep your eye on the prize, even if you did all the work to win it.

There’s always someone in your corner.

Where would Tom Brady be without Bill Belichick calling plays? Where would Don Henley be without the rest of The Eagles?

Would Mike Tyson become the Heavyweight Champion of the World without Cus D’Amato training him day in and day out?

Would I have been able to walk those one hundred steps without Mike pushing me to keep going?

Sometimes the great become even greater with a little assistance.

Life isn’t meant to be lived in a lone-wolf type way.

It’s meant to be a symbiotic relationship between us and those we come in contact with.

Although it may seem like you don’t need or want help from anyone, sometimes it makes life better and easier for all parties involved when you accept the help.

Teamwork really does make the dream work.

There’s no shame in asking for a little help.

Just remember to say thank you.

Falling head over heels BEREK MARTICHUSKI

Contributing Writer With fall in full swing and snow on its way, the fashion around campus has changed from pastels to plaids and from high-wasted shorts to skinny jeans, but what about the footwear?

Although we are still without snow, the colder weather recently might have Keene State College students changing out of their sneakers and lacing up something warmer to match their layered fall looks.

A nice pair of boots to compliment your earth-toned jacket could be just the trick in revamping your fall look. Not only will you be in style, but you’ll be staying warm while doing it.

Senior MacKenzie Heimert said that once the cold hits, it’s boots only for him.

“Once the snow starts falling I’ll make the switch to boots; it might just be the little Vermonter in me,” Heimert said.

Heimert then said that he “just needs a pair of boots that work well – waterproof, and that withstand the weather.” For Mackenzie it’s all about purpose; style and trends are left by the wayside when the weather turns frigid, right alongside his sneakers.

KSC senior Alex Terry said it’s about being versatile.

“During the fall it’s [shoe fashion] anything. I’m wearing Steve Maddens right now and, you know, one day it could be Sperrys,” Terry said.

When asked about the cold weather that’s making its way toward Keene, Terry said, “If it’s cold outside I’m wearing boots, because I strongly dislike the cold.”

It’s all about balance for Terry, he said that “helping one another out when it comes to fashion is important,” but that “you can mix, and Although it’s been warmer than expected recently, pants have been, and will be, making their way out of hiding and onto the legs of KSC students, and picking the right shoes to go along is crucial.

The style experts over at GQ.com said that once it gets really cold guys should “grab a pair of lace-up boots to give the chinos more of a mountain-man feel.”

GQ.com said that guys sporting joggers or jeans should stay away from the “infantile look” of “slip-on-shoes” and instead “dress it up” with some desert boots.

Another trend that is becoming increasingly popular is the athletic-chic look, according to Bustle.com, and you don’t need to be going to the gym to rock sneakers in the fall, especially while it’s still snow-free here in Keene.

Bustle.com stated, “Not necessarily the athletic type, but those [who] are trendy and make

running around campus from classes to meetings much easier, without According to Bustle.com, once fall hits and your skin is in need of shelter from the cold, riding boots are the way to go for your more dressed-up fall days.

Bustle.com stated, “Tall and structured is the way to go. They’re the ideal boot for just about the entire school year when paired with pants.”

First-year Isabella Cava agreed with this statement. When asked what shoes she wears while walking on Appian Way she said, “Probably riding roots because that’s what’s been in for the past few years.”

Cava continued, “Uggs will always be in because they are comfy and warm, and no one cares if you ruin them because they’re not that nice looking.”

When asked if the weather dictates her style or if fashion comes before comfort, Cava said, “Fashion sometimes comes before comfort, depending on the day.”

Senior Victoria Folk has more of an narrow approach when it comes to fashion, as she was concise with her response. She fort.”

Folk went on to add that her trendy nature will remain the same with riding boots throughout the fall and winter, “I would say riding boots are in, like the tall boots that go pretty much below your knee or the short ones that are kind of by your ankle,” Folk said.

Folk said she’s hesitant to wear her nicer, leather riding boots in fear of potential water damage and will switch to something that is “better for the snow.”

Senior Hanna Desouza agreed, the snow mise her style.

they wear.”

Once winter comes, snow covered boots will be stomping through campus and squeaking away in the hallways of the academic buildings and the Dining Commons, but, for now, casual footwear like desert boots, athletic sneakers and leather riding boots will be the go-to shoes for students at KSC.

Young writer’s legacy triumphs through words AMY DONOVAN

Copy Editor Days after graduating from Yale University, writer and 22-year-old Marina Keegan died in a tragic car accident. This book is a collection of short stories written by Keegan in her college years, including both with a few lines of poetry. The assortment of writing begins with Marina Keegan’s commencement address “The Opposite of Loneliness,” written for Yale’s 2012 graduating class and distributed only days before Keegan’s death. The essay directly addresses the universal notion of loneliness and how college graduates should strive to negate loneliness in their futures and work toward hope and love.

The address concludes with Keegan’s statement, “We’re in this together, 2012. Let’s make something happen to this world.”

The remaining pages of Keegan’s ing a multitude of themes, some of which include estranged relationships, environmental issues, nostalgic memories and more.

Keegan truly masters voice and style within her writing, while maintaining relatable and spiritually uplifting content for readers of all ages, especially young adults.

AssociAted Press Pope Francis insisted Tuesday that the Catholic Church shun all temptations of power, prestige and money as he pressed his reform agenda amid a new scandal at the Vatican.

Francis outlined his vision of the church in a lengthy speech to Italian bishops gathered in Florence, leaving behind a Vatican reeling from revelations of internal resistance to his reform agenda.

The Argentine Jesuit told the bishops he wanted a church that was humble and poor, and not obsessed with preaching doctrine or acquiring power. He said Christian doctrine wasn't a closed or rigid system but rather one that lives and changes and develops.

"May God protect the Italian church from every pretense of power, image and money," he told

Francis' visit comes as the Vatican copes with a new "Vatileaks" scandal, after two new books laid bare the pope's uphill battle to reform the Italian-dominated Vatican bureaucracy and get a handle on tial documents, the books exposed the greed of cardinals and monsignors, mismanagement of Vatican assets and the resistance to change from the Holy See's old guard.
