‘Cocaine Bear’ shadows 1985 story

By MOHAMMAD NAJIMI Staff Writer

“Cocaine Bear” is a thrilling horror film that takes the plot from what happened in Sept. 1985 when a man named Andrew Thorton dropped over 850 pounds of cocaine from an airplane looking to make a huge payday. It was reported 3 months later that a 175-pound bear was pronounced dead after an overdose of cocaine. The park rangers found about 40 opened containers of cocaine near the body of the dead bear.

This movie showcased a black bear, with cocaine in his system, on a killing rampage targeting any person he had in sight. The bear would go for the cocaine instead of the people

California Community College System, Christian has worked on policies across the state and is a commissioner of the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges. She collaborated with world languages and cultures faculty member Laurie Huffman to do accreditation for the Guam Community College. Huffman described their final report submitted as “perfect,” and seeing her skills when working together, she believed “she was the best choice.”

“Her patience, expertise, knowledge, inclusivity and progressive way of working with everyone makes her one of the most capable leaders I’ve had the pleasure to work with over the years,” said Huffman. With the new chancellor chosen, the recent appointment is set to make history. Christian will become the first woman and first person of South Asian heritage to be appointed to this position.

“I am honored to be selected to lead the most important system of higher education in the country and grateful to the Board of Governors for their confidence,” said Christian.

For more than 30 years, Christian has actively partic- which made it more interesting. The bear was hooked on the drugs, and it allowed him to be more dangerous than normal black bears.

The deaths in the movie were simple bear kills, but they made it more realistic to comprehend the plot. The most interesting kill was when the bear was climbing a tree, looking to kill Henry when the bear smelled cocaine on Peter who was on the tree about 20 feet to the right of where Henry was. The bear then jumped down, climbed up to Peter and devoured him. It showed that the bear focuses on cocaine rather than killing people.

The movie had some questionable acting from certain actors, but there were some other actors that did their job well. There was a group of ipated in state and national programs for equality and quality agendas centered around students in higher education. Given her new position, her focus will be on advancing student success and closing achievement and equity gaps, while strengthening the organizational effectiveness of students, faculty and staff.

“We continue to face many challenges, but I truly believe our greatest challenges enable us to do our greatest work,” said Christian. “We are called to design the most vibrant, resilient, and effective learning environment ever. We are called to do this work at scale, not eventually, but now. And we will work with a shared vision that keeps students first.”

MEN’S

From page 4

Many of the Mustangs stars on this year’s team were freshmen who are set to return next season for the team. However, it will be difficult for the team to fill the void that will be left by defensive standouts Warner and Adeyemi.

The Men’s team won their opening round game against the College of the Siskiyous teenagers that had no business in being at the park other than dying either by the bear or the drug dealers that went looking for the cocaine that dropped from the airplane. Everything about this movie was shown to be a comedic horror film that wouldn’t be expected to make over $17 million on opening weekend. Turns out, the movie surpassed expectations and garnered an outstanding $23.1 million on opening weekend. It was an enjoyable movie that followed the story closely. The producers were interested to see a killer bear on cocaine on the big screen and their decision didn’t disappoint. I would recommend anyone to watch this movie. It’s a horror film that’ll make you laugh, scream and cry throughout the film.

“After the game players and coaches were brought to tears. Not so much about losing the game but more about how much we all care and love one another. It was a special group of young men and I was so proud to be their coach,” Domenichelli said.

This led Weiss to her final claim about failure. She led in with a story about her first few cases as an attorney. Weiss said her first four trials she attempted she lost.

She relayed the grand realization to the students, “The more you lose, the more you learn.”

In a court case, there is always a winner and a loser. She gave another example from her life with her speaking skills. She did not like to publicly speak and was “horrible” at it, according to Weiss.

After many years of practice within the court and speaking to growing crowds, she learned how to publicly speak and win her cases. Her parting words: “Believe in yourself and follow your dreams.”
