Coconut Whisk adds new twist to vegan food Women’s Big Ideas Challenge prize-winners inspired by plant-based lifestyle

EMMANUELLA SHOKARE Staff Writer Coconut Whisk, a business owned by Bella Lam and Myles Olson won the Agriculture and Food/Beverage portion of the recent Big Ideas Challenge, receiving a prize of $3,000.

Coconut Whisk is a vegan baking mix company; Lam and Olson started this business in January 2018 when Bella had the idea and shared it with Myles. They started working on business strategies and how they would be able to develop their products and marketing. The business has been growing quickly with high demand.

The two entrepreneurs currently sell at in-person events and some other events in the Twin Cities and Mankato. They have captured

the interest of the community and will soon be launching their website, allowing them to be able to sell locally within Minnesota. They will

also have their products in local cafes and bakeries such as Friesen’s, Bluebird Cakery and Curiosi-Tea. They also plan to give some of

their proceeds back to the community.

Currently, Coconut Whisk has five different baking mixes that can be made into ready-to-eat treats such as pancakes, brownies and chocolate chip cookies.

“All of our products are vegan, dairy free, egg free, nut free and allergen friendly,” said Lam. “All you need are four ingredients or less to make them. They include agave nectar (or maple syrup), coconut oil, vanilla extract and almond milk (or any non-dairy milk).”

“Bella has always been entrepreneurial but nothing has captured her heart until the idea for Coconut Whisk,” said Olson.

Lam switched to a plantbased lifestyle over a year ago and soon after started a vegan blog, bellalam.com.

“As she worked on her blog, she wanted to implement her love of plant-based food

A survivor’s story about Columbine Laura Farber, director/writer of We Are Columbine, tells her story KARLY KAUFMAN Staff Writer Laura Farber’s life changed forever on April 20, 1999.

Shortly after gathering with friends at a table in the sprawling cafeteria of Columbine High School (Littleton, CO), gunshots rang out. What followed was confusion, a hasty escape, and a 19-year-long journey to find emotional and physical healing.

Farber, a film studies graduate of Columbia College in Chicago, found healing in writing, directing and producing a critically

“We were all freshmen.

Everyone I talked to asked,

‘Did you talk to anyone that was injured?’ No, I didn’t.

And I think that I didn’t do that on purpose because we’ve already heard from them before, and it’s not quite about that. It didn’t really matter where you were that day in the school, it still had a strong emotional impact on a variety of levels,” Farber said by phone just 24 hours before the film’s premiere.

The soft-spoken, but confident filmmaker wanted to create the documentary to help others heal in the wake

Center sings Kesha song at Take Back the Night KATIE LEIBEL Staff Writer The Women’s Center choir sang “Praying” by Kesha at the Coffee Hag for their Take Back the Night event Tuesday.

There was a short schedule of speakers at the beginning of the event. After that there was the performance of the song, followed by an open mic for anyone who wanted to talk about being a victim or survivor. Afterwards, a march took place for victims and survivors as well as supporters.

The Violence Awareness and Response Program planned this event with help from a small Sexual Assault Awareness Month committee that was made up entirely of students who did a lot of work getting people involved in this as well as other events that took place during April.

April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month. This year’s national theme is “Embrace Your Voice,” which pairs well with the women’s center choir singing at the Coffee Hag. “I think it is perfect. I think it is definitely one way that you can embrace your voice,” said Laura Schultz, the assistant director of VARP. “This is about community and coming together and embracing our voices and making this collective sound.”

The group performed the song “Praying,” a piece written by Kesha detailing her experience with sexual assault and its impact on her as well as others.

My Maverick experience: meh Opinion GABE HEWITT Editor-in-Chief College is weird. Have you ever really unpacked it?

Before you even go to college, you have to figure out what you want to do for the rest of your life. This decides your major. Then you pick the best school for you.

You better pick the perfect one, though, or else the credits you take might not transfer elsewhere.

Then you pay thousands of dollars to take all these courses that meet both a general quota for classes and quotas for your major and minor. The money you use to pay for school is sometimes graciously awarded to you by the federal government or a scholarship, but then there’s the money that you’re borrowing from the government or a private bank that you have to pay back. The more classes you take, the more your debt runs up. The more of these courses you take, the more it becomes more about how many points you have than what you’re actually learning.

Then after you graduate, you find well-paying jobs that will help you pay back your debt and then you live

happily ever after and die.

This is the American Dream.

I’m grateful that I live in a country where I can get any kind of post-secondary education, but as I near the point where I walk across a stage and get my paper of proof, I can’t help but feel unfulfilled.

It seems like just yesterday that someone from the Maverick Moving Crew broke the frame of my favorite poster when I was moving into McElroy on a steamy August afternoon. That was a good representation of what my Maverick experience was going to be.

There’s a pressure to make your college years the best they can be. You’re supposed to go to all these parties, attend sporting events and feel a part of the university community. I didn’t do any of that in my time here. I’m telling you that you don’t have to feel that pressure.

Just enjoy college how you want to.

My semesters went like this: do the work to get the points, learn a few things, take the finals and then onto the next semester. It may be a reflection of my character, but many of the courses I took at MNSU were just uninspiring. It was probably the high schooler me in math class asking, “When am I

ever going to use this?” This is by no means discrediting the work put forth by the professors I took. I’ve had some of the best professors at MNSU. It’s home to some pretty intellectual individuals.

My feelings relate to the way the system is set up and the professors don’t have anything to do with that.

When I wasn’t doing academic-related work, I was probably working at a parttime job or doing work for a student media organization. I applied as a staff writer in the summer of 2015, before I even stepped foot on the campus.

I knew I needed to write for the MSU Reporter. I had been writing for newspapers for years and loved it.

I’m thankful to the MSU Reporter for the experiences and opportunities it provided me. Your campus newspaper is awesome. If you don’t have the fire like I did to apply for it, you should still pick up copies when you can. If you do your research, you’ll find that student platforms like this one are dying across the universities.

I’m also thankful to KMSU Radio. Before I came to MSU, I never would have thought I’d be doing any kind of audio storytelling. I hate the sound of my own voice. Why would I want to record it for a living?

But I did it and I ended up loving the work I did for the Southern Minnesota New Project and KMSU in general.

Mansoor Ahmad | MSU Reporter

College is the perfect time to step out of your comfort zone.

Who knows what the future has in store for me?

I’ll probably get one job to start off with and then work my whole life until I die, with some fun bits sprinkled here and there. I’m probably frantically searching

for jobs as you read this. I appreciate you joining me on my downward spiral.

At this point in this piece, I’m realizing that I have no idea where I’m going.

Sounds like a lot of papers I’ve written. I wonder if I’ll get an A on this. I really need it to pass.

Continued from page 1 and business more,” said Olson. “Therefore, the idea to start a vegan baking mix Company was exactly what she’s been searching for.

“Coconut Whisk is a combination of all her passions,” said Olson.

“As a way to give back, Coconut Whisk donated five percent of their net profits to animal sanctuaries. This charitable pledge was inspired by her rescue dog, Opie.”

The community here in Mankato continues to inspire them to innovate, expand and give back.

Lam and Olson plan to use the prize money from the Big Ideas Challenge for completing startup paperwork, such as licensing, insurance, website development, company entity fees, training, updating their labels/packaging, and

finalizing their product recipes.

Five years down the road, these entrepreneurs hope to see their products on the shelves of Whole Foods, Fresh Thyme and on Amazon.

“We also hope to be less in the operations of the company and more in the community creating lasting partnerships and doing promotional and marketing activities,” said Lam. “We’re also looking forward to building a talented and dedicated team that represents the heart-centered values of Coconut Whisk.”

FARBER

Continued from page 1 of similar tragedies.

“It was important to follow up on a really personal and tragic event. People only knew what was being presented in the media and by the media,” she said. “I just wanted to tell the story from our perspective, from the source, and I wanted it to be different and not focus on the crime as much as how it affects us.”

The documentary took seven years to be brought to the big screen after countless hours of filming, interviews, reviewing news media footage, and reliving the moments leading up to, during and after the then worst school shooting in U.S. history. Farber ultimately saw the making of the film as a way for her to cope with things she had never faced before.

“I got to work on myself during this process, which I didn’t really anticipate,” she reflects. “I just thought I was making my first film and it was something personal and a story I got to tell. It turned out that I had some emotional baggage to work through.”

One of the greatest challenges Farber faced was

walking through the school to recapture moments she and her now 30-something adult classmates lived through.

The “visceral reaction during filming” was very challenging to experience and relive, she said.

“Being back in the school, the cafeteria where we were sitting, the classrooms…it was very difficult. I thought I was just going to pop in and do our thing and then be

going to be fine. It wasn’t,” she said.

Farber said there is no book or script for how to heal for school shooting survivors. She chose to create a documentary, and initially thought, “I could help survivors not knowing there would be that many.”

Farber began filming before the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in 2014. Today, sadly, student

However, it was not a quick in-and-out.

“Having attended Columbine for four years, and then not being back inside since graduation until that first day several years ago to film … I thought everything was

survivors of similar tragedies look to the Columbine survivors for advice on how to cope and process what has happened.

“They were asking ‘How do we handle this?’ Being able to look back now after 19 years, and what it’s like

to experience that and live through it,” she said. “It’s important to give yourself permission to just let some things go. Don’t be so hard on yourself.”

Farber, like many Columbine survivors and first responders, experience a sense of dread and fear each time there’s a breaking news story of a school shooting.

“It’s got to stop,” Farber stated.

The Parkland, Florida (Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School) survivor-led movement against gun violence is different than the Columbine student response.

And, it is one that Farber praises.

“These kids are super angry right now. That will go a long way. Initially you’re in shock and then eventually you get angry,” she said.

Today’s students were not born when the Columbine tragedy occurred. But they have grown up knowing and understanding that school shootings can happen at any time.

“We didn’t grow up doing lockdown drills, so it’s totally different,” Farber explained.

The platform Parkland

survivors and so many other students are using to make their voices heard is through social media.

“We didn’t have social media,” she said. “I think it’s powerful. I think that they can demand change and put an end to this living in fear to go to school. I am a big supporter of them and they are using their voices. Not that we couldn’t, but maybe we weren’t ready to do that at the time.”

The Columbine shooting is still an event that we grow up talking about. Having lived through it, Farber takes audiences through a powerful story of how four freshmen students and their freshmen English teacher experienced it and how they continue to cope today.

Each anniversary date – April 20 – is a day when Columbine High School is closed. Students remember the 13 victims by going out into the community for a day of service. They carry the banner “A Time to Remember, A Time to Hope,” first established by the Columbine High School survivors 19 years ago.

After a long road to graduation, this editor is signing off Opinion ALISSA THIELGES News Editor Well, this is it—the end is in sight. My career as a student is coming to a close.

I just picked up my graduation cap and gown today. Yesterday, I picked up my honor cords. Sometime next week I will be finishing up my last finals of college. All too quickly, this is becoming very real. In nine days, I will be graduating from college.

Scary.

As I think back on my college days, I can’t but already feel nostalgic towards to the memories that I’ve made. The floor events I attended in Crawford that made my transition to college a little less lonely.

The weird girl on my floor with a similar enthusiasm for anything Disney and Marvel, who has become one of my best college friends. The long hours studying and working on assignments— and the even longer hours procrastinating on said work.

Finding my favorite studying spot in the library. Attending football and hockey games with friends. Netflix marathons and Disney song jam sessions. Moving into my first apartment. Writing my first article. Becoming News Editor at the MSU Reporter.

Getting an internship at a publishing company and the excitement of working in the field I someday desire to be in.

All these moments lead up to the big day on May 5. I’m not going to lie—this past year has probably been one of the most stressful and draining of the four I have spent at MNSU. Mostly of my own doing. I stretched myself a bit too far once again and I am looking forward to some time off. (You know it’s bad when finals week is less stressful than your normal schedule.)

My time at MNSU has taught me a lot of things, but I would say that is the time spent outside of the classroom that has made the biggest impact. College isn’t just about the classes you take or the GPA you graduate

TAKE BACK

Continued from page 1 “It is a really beautiful [song], kind of a processing of healing from sexual assault,” Schultz said. “The way that she tries to word this is to communicate to her assailant that ‘I hope you are thinking about this and I hope you are asking for forgiveness and realize the damage you have done.’ ” The position of assistant director for the VARP has been around for about 10 years. Take Back the Night has been going on each year during that time, but the event actually originates back in the 1970’s.

There were many of these events held around Mankato from the 70’s to the 80’s.

“This is a supportive and empowering event put on by our students and for our students,” Schultz said. “It is still needed to this day.

I meet with approximately 150 and 175 students who are victims and survivors every year. These individuals have a safe place in my office or anywhere else where they would like to meet with me, and there are various other places on our campus where they

can feel safe and supported.”

Schultz encouraged everyone, from survivors to supporters, to come to this event.

“Last year we did the choir for the first time and that was just something that I had wanted to do for a while,” Schultz said.

“With the women’s march on Washington D.C. last year there was a song called ‘I Can’t Keep Quiet,’ and it propelled me forward to say this is the time.

We had such a great time with it last year that I wanted to bring it back.”

Take Back the Night occurs annually and is expected to occur again in April 2019.

Schultz added that if there are people who happen to be reading this who want to speak with someone, she is a confidential advocate who the can meet with in her office or anywhere on campus. If they are reading this, know they are not alone, what happened to them is not their fault and she is here for them.

connections with people you may have never talked to otherwise. You start to see things from other’s perspective more easily and

come to realize that there is always more than one side of a story.

Working at the campus newspaper has helped me to get out of my comfort zone and has taught me the value of looking at things from different angles. Your first approach won’t always work, but that doesn’t mean you give up. And even the crappiest draft can be worked into something worth reading.

These are things that can’t really be taught in a classroom and I’m tremendously grateful for the opportunity to have learned them first hand in an academic setting where trial and error are the bread and butter for the makings of something great.

Reflections on my past year at MNSU—the good and bad Opinion BILL HAMM Staff Writer Success and failure, happiness and sadness, fire and ice, and ice, and ice— what do you expect, it’s Minnesota?

The first year at a new school is always a new adventure, a challenge that must be met, a memory in the rear-view mirror. Then there are the professors.

What a crew of misfits you think quietly to yourself as you’re walking your last days down the hallowed hallways.

You’re just happy that you’re

with the Reporter. When I interviewed with Gabe Hewitt, our Editor-in-Chief at the MSU Reporter, I came in with a list of twenty plus stories I was interested in doing. I didn’t realize that if I could put 500 words together I was hired, but after he and my editor looked over the list, they marked about a dozen they approved. I am glad to say I think I got all of them and a couple more completed.

On the failure side was a story I did early that tried to get at predatory lending via a survey. The survey was a poorly designed product that had been committee cleansed (concerns were

On the success and failure side, let’s look at my time

addressed) that failed to produce any conclusive data. Even worse was that after conferring with expert

professor opinion, there was no workable solution to the situation. I hate when that happens.

Happiness and sadness both come from interaction with fellow students. Working several events like the Battle of the Bands, snow tubing, and Ninja Warrior with the Student Events Team gave me a chance to make myself useful. What a great group of hard working fellow students who willingly gave of their time for their fellow students. Leadership U presented a different sort of learning opportunity; after a kind of slow warming start, it became a place to grow great friendships via doing new and sometimes foolish things. Both the Veterans Club and the Non-Traditional Student’s organization were places I could drop in and either sit and listen or join the conversation.

I have also had the opportunity to meet the leaders and members of so many other great clubs and efforts on campus. Hell, I even had cordial discussions while working with the College Republicans Club.

My positive connection also

extends to experiences with all the MNSU professors here who’s classrooms I have blessed; even Fred when he gets that, “I don’t believe you said that,” look on his face.

Two summer courses will complete my political science work here at MNSU and that was my largest goal for traveling so far from home.

Due to the financial realities I face, it looks like I will most likely finish my minor at either Duluth or St. Cloud. While I won’t miss the 550-mile and

ten hours round trips to and from rural Bovey, Minn., I will miss the many acquaintances and friends I have made here at MNSU over the last nine months. While at times it has been awkward being three to four times older than most of my classmates, it has been filled with many friendly comments of encouragement going both ways. So, until we meet again on the field of battle we call life, take care and be happy.

We all know we’re stressed out and exhausted. But we only have one more week to go and the summer is just about to start. Let’s hang in there together for the break.

Speaking of the summer, do you have any ideas for the summer break? Here are some good ideas to spend this summer worthily as college students.

1. Give yourself a “Shakespeare Vacation” I know it might sound so boring but there is nothing worthy than reading classics.

You are a college student and you are here for higher education. And like Abigail Adams said, “Learning is not attained by chance, it must be sought for with ardor and attended to with diligence.”

Theses days, not many people read steadily.

Especially, when it comes to classics, students barely read those not as long as required in classes. Instead, we have been holding our phones in our hands. This phenomenon brought us some major issues, that we don’t think critically and debate enough.

People are easily distracted to minor issues from social media, which aren’t verified.

You don’t have to submit homework to the queen but how about give yourself

some valuable time?

2. Get out of your comfort zone.

Try a new form of exercise. Other than running by yourself, run with your friends, or in a group. If you are an active runner, try Yoga instead of it. If you have been doing Pilates, go for crazy spinning class.

Try a new video game. It’s summer. What better time is there to adventure in a fancy virtual world without worrying about school?

Go somewhere you have never been. Go on a road trip, take a short flight to a totally different world with

House already threatened, could GOP also lose Senate grip?

Republicans have known for months that their House majority is in genuine peril.

But after another bruising showing in a special election, some in the party are reconsidering the once inconceivable notion of losing the Senate.

It’s a sobering possibility, particularly given Republican’ confidence not long ago that they probably would increase their Senate edge after the November vote. Far more Democratic senators are facing re-election in states favorable to Republicans than the other way around. That’s why the GOP held out hope of expanding its ranks and easing the path for President Donald Trump’s agenda.

Yet a Republican congressional victory Tuesday in the Phoenix suburbs has set off new alarm bells.

Republican Debbie Lesko won the special House election by 6 percentage points, though Trump captured the district by 21 percentage points in 2016.

GOP turnout dropped off, and unlike Republicans’ shocking losses in a Pittsburgh-area House race and an Alabama Senate contest, there was no weak GOP nominee to blame in Arizona.

The only explanation was the most worrisome for the GOP: Trump’s presidency is activating Democrats and demoralizing some Republicans and if that trend continues, trouble is ahead.

“The first question is if Democrats can take the undeniably stronger turnout in most of these special elections ... and replicate that in the fall,” said Steven Law, a Republican operative running

the Senate Leadership Fund, a political action committee at the forefront of Republicans’ November strategy. “My guess is they will.”

Democrats certainly have a steep climb and must do more than play defense to win the Senate majority. Even if they successfully protect all 26 incumbents — 24 Democrats and two independents who caucus with them — they still would have to pick up two seats. Arizona and Nevada are the most likely.

For every Democratic loss among the 10 incumbents running in states where Trump won two years ago, Democrats would need to

add another Republican pickup. That could leave them dependent on knocking off Republican Ted Cruz in Texas or winning in GOPdominated Tennessee.

Still, there are signs that seizing the Senate is no longer a pipe dream.

Democratic incumbents are outpacing Republicans in fundraising. Of the 10 Democratic senators running in Trump-won states, nine are among the top 20 campaign fundraisers across all Senate candidates this election cycle. None of their potential Republican opponents has made that cut.

The lone Democratic

exclusion, West Virginia’s Joe Manchin, ranks 31st, but that still puts him ahead of his potential GOP rivals. In fact, the top Republican Senate fundraisers for the cycle are Roy Moore and Luther Strange, the two Alabama Republicans who vied for the seat now held by Democrat Doug Jones.

Cruz, the Texas senator, tops his Republican colleagues with $9.1 million for his re-election bid. But Democrat Beto O’Rourke, even with his underdog status, has taken in more than $13 million.

In Missouri, where Claire

McCaskill has been viewed as among the most vulnerable Democratic senators, the two-term incumbent had more than $11 million in her campaign account this month. That compares with $2 million for the Republican state attorney general, Josh Hawley.

Republicans will have plenty of resources with independent groups and their wealthiest backers paying for advertising and voter outreach. But Democrats’ performance among rankand-file donors is just one more measure of voter enthusiasm.

The Arizona race, in a conservative district northwest of downtown Phoenix, highlighted other Republican concerns.

Republicans tried to turn the tax law into a shield. But the Democratic nominee, Hiral Tipirneni, didn’t shy away from hammering Lesko as a lackey for national Republican leaders she said are intent on cutting health care services and Social Security.

The GOP arguments apparently worked well enough for the party to hit its early voting targets in Arizona. But doing that and still winning by only 6 percentage points suggested that the rest of the electorate, including independents, broke solidly for Democrats.

All 10 of the Democratic senators in Trump-carried states who are running for re-election voted against the

SUMMER

Continued from page 6 your friends. Be adventurous!

Try to break your fears. Is there anything that makes you afraid to try? Maybe it’s a perfect time to challenge yourself. Personally, I broke my fear of swimming and have been learning how to swim, so that I can fully enjoy it this summer!

3.

Experience and educate yourself.

Learn an instrument. You might have wanted to learn new stuff other than sports.

Find some local classes and try it immediately! Hesitation will end this summer.

Go to museums. These kinds of places give you huge opportunities to earn yourself to cultural perspectives. If you can’t go to the Louvre in Paris, there is Minneapolis

Institute of Art in Minnesota.

It is a great place where you can experience beautiful art pieces including magnificent European pieces.

4. Clean yourself up.

If you’re a holder, then it is the time to re-organize yourself. Go over your belongings and separate them into what you need and you don’t need. And among

what you don’t need, donate useful stuff and get rid of the rest. Since you became a college student, your life has been changed in some ways. It is a good time to re-arrange your routine. Also, don’t forget to clean up your e-life! Unfriend Facebook friends who you don’t even talk to anymore. Clean your laptop, desktop drives, and

your phone too.

5. Prepare for next semester.

It’s your job to enjoy the break but you should also be ready for the fall semester. Registering classes and planning ahead. Because you don’t want to do it last minute and freak out.

CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL MSU GRADUATES AND BEST OF LUCK ON ALL YOUR FUTURE ENDEAVORS! PRESIDENT DAVENPORT

GOP Continued from page 8 GOP tax law.

“It wasn’t that long ago that Republicans declared that the tax bill was going to solve most or all of their problems,” said Democratic pollster Zac McCrary. “Now, even in ruby red Republican area, it’s only exacerbated Republican problems, and they’re just limping across the finish line in a district like this.”

Increasingly bitter Republican primaries also magnify Democrats’ early advantages. And beyond being forced to spend precious money now, several Republican primaries have

become divisive and could leave the GOP base wounded in November.

In Wisconsin, conservative businessman Kevin Nicholson is accusing his GOP opponent, state Sen. Leah Vukmir, of cuddling up to the party establishment and Gov. Scott Walker. The line of attack may work in a primary, but risks alienating Walker supporters later.

In West Virginia, Republicans are mounting attacks on coal company CEO Don Blankenship, vying to face Manchin, for his role in the deadliest mine disaster in decades.

In Nevada, where Democrat Hillary Clinton won in the 2016 presidential race, Republican Dean Heller has been considered the most vulnerable GOP Senate incumbent. Heller’s initial

primary challenger, Danny Tarkanian, blasted him for defying Trump on trying to repeal the 2010 health care law and for resisting admitting he voted for Trump. Tarkanian has since left the Senate race

to run for a House district, but Democrats argue Heller will bear the scars of the attacks as he also worked to mend fences with Trump, instead of reach out to swing voters.

Rampage not as fun as it thinks it is Dwayne Johnson battles giant monsters in video game inspired film

LUCAS TORBORG Staff Writer

“Rampage” may not be a good movie by any means, but at least we can now say that a movie in which Dwayne, “The Rock”, Johnson fighting alongside a giant albino gorilla against a giant wolf and alligator exists.

“Rampage” is the latest movie in the giant monster B-movie genre. Rampage is directed by Brad Peyton who helmed the disaster movie San Andreas which also starred The Rock.

Perhaps the strangest thing about the movie “Rampage” is that it is based on and even named after the 8-bit arcade game from the 80s. The arcade game consists of the player choosing between three characters; a giant gorilla named George, a giant wolf known as Ralph, and a

giant Lizard named Lizzie.

The object of the game is to destroy city after city

and rack up as many points before the giant monster loses too much health.

There really is no real story to the game I personally have played

this game quite a few times and I can safely say that not once did I ever think to myself “Wow, they have to make this game into a movie.” Nevertheless, I must admit that I was excited for this movie since it sells itself as a fun movie that doesn’t take itself too seriously and is full of awesome eye candy. However, I must say that maybe even my expectations were not set low enough.

The story, if you could call it that, consists of Primatologist Davis Okoye (Dwayne Johnson) who works at the San Diego Wildlife Preserve where his albino gorilla friend George stays at. Meanwhile, three canisters from a research space station

Blockers a heartfelt coming of age film A deeper lesson is to be learned in light of all the antics

AMANDA HINSHAW Staff Writer

“Blockers” is a comingof-age film about three parents who are on a mission to stop their daughters from becoming women.

WARNING: Spoilers ahead. The film starts out where Lisa, a single mom, is filming her nervous daughter attending her first day of school. Julie, Lisa’s daughter, is shortly befriended by two girls.

From here, Lisa befriends Mitchell and Hunter, two fathers that drop off their little girls at school.

The day finally comes when Julie is 18 and it’s her last year of high school. She has also been accepted into UCLA and Lisa is not even made aware that Julie applied to the school.

Julie and her friends,

Kayla and Sam, are having lunch when Julie says that she wants to lose her vir-

ginity to her boyfriend on prom night. Kayla decides that she wants in on the

pact and Sam, who is secretly a closeted lesbian, is reluctant, but then joins in

because she wants to have a shared experience with her friends.

Lisa is throwing a pre-party for the parents and kids who will be attending prom, which leads Mitchell to question Lisa on why she has been avoiding the attempts to catch up. Hunter, Sam’s father, shows up in a limousine for the kids to use on prom night and he wants them to have the best night ever.

After their daughters leave for prom, they start texting one another about their “sex pact” that they have made with provocative emojis. You get the idea with the provocative emojis, right?

Marvel’s Venom reveals character’s look New trailer shows Venom to be as sinister and dark as the comics

COLTON MOLESKY Staff Writer

It is in the air, perpetrating through theaters and cutting through what should be a pure glee when viewing the coming attractions, wearing down the most brutally resilient and loyal, already tossing aside the less impressed.

The sickness that has swept the faithful movie goers— Marvel fatigue.

Too many times has a hero with the cocky optimism of my little brothers dashed across the big screen, dutifully falling into the traps laid by the crafty villain in the bush, downed just long enough to learn some life lesson before surging back to his (or her) rightful place atop the uni-

verse.

Are we not just a tad tired of the played-out theme that seized Hollywood like a python seizes a mouse?

But something new is upon us, saving the franchise from itself and saving us from the same narrative that keeps finding us over and over again, like some twisted Groundhog Day. The teaser for a Venom movie (starring Tom Hardy) was ushered in with the release of the Black Panther movie. Instantly, it was different than the rest of the Marvel franchise. This was a dark character, a twisted and parasitic villain that feeds on a person from the inside out.

Then, on April 24, the full trailer was released,

giving us a clearer picture of what director Ruben Fleischer intended to do with the story of Venom. It looked as dark as someone who grew up reading the Venom comic books could hope for (I raise my hand here).

As you learn about journalist Eddie Brock (Hardy/ Venom) and watch him research the work of a deranged and essentially evil scientist, you see that Brock gets too close to the action, becoming infected with a symbiotic creature, the very creature that will be Venom.

However, this is not the

VENOM PAGE 17

Tom Hardy plays Venom.

BLOCKERS Continued from page 14 Hunter cracks the code of the emojis to reveal to Lisa and Mitchell that their daughters are going to lose their virginities on prom night. Mitchell is in denial at first, but once he sees the #SEXPACT2018, he can no longer deny the realization that his daughter and her prom date might actually go through with it.

After a night of crazi-

ness ensues, along with drugs, alcohol and seemingly raunchy language, the girls finally arrive at the after-party. They all wander off with their dates and Sam is unable to go through with the sexual act, while Kayla decides that she isn’t ready either, but her and her date decide “to get to know one another better.”

Lisa breaks into the ho-

tel room where Julie and her boyfriend, Austin, will be staying. She ultimately decides that she shouldn’t get in her daughter’s way.

She leaves the room, but not before doing some crazy somersaults to evade detection from her daughter and Austin.

Lisa sees that Julie and Austin genuinely love each other and she makes her escape. She comes to

terms that her daughter is growing up and there are times that her daughter will have to make her own decisions.

“Blockers” is heartfelt, as it is raunchy and funny.

There may be some that might not see this film as a lesson, but I think there is something that can be taken away from it.

There will come a day when we will all become

Overall, Rampage is a boring movie with sloppy writing and very strange acting choices, but the CGI

is top notch and the last 20 minutes are a blast.

RAMPAGE Continued from page 14 that was owned by a gene manipulation company crash onto earth.

The first canister falls into the everglades in which a crocodile consumes the pathogens within the fallen object. The second canister crashes into a forest in Wyoming where it is exposed to a wolf. The final canister unfortunately falls onto the wildlife preserve in San Diego where it infects The Rock’s pal George. Each animal begins to mutate becoming massive. The rest of the film is mostly boring exposition to have it make sense for the monsters to all attack a city like in the arcade game.

A movie like Rampage is difficult to review because it is just a simple

popcorn movie that meant to entertain and to later be forgotten. I must admit the last 20 minutes of the movie where monsters are fighting each other and destroying a city is pretty entertaining, but up to that point the movie is surprisingly kind of boring.

The biggest flaw that this movie has is that it is very uneven. It feels as if Rampage is three movies in one. Part of it feels like a kid movie especially with the over-the-top, goofy acting by the main villains who own the gene manipulation company. The other third of the movie feels like drama between The Rock and his ape friend George—and the last third is what the audience came for a giant monster movie.

We Are Columbine directed by survivor Laura Farber Documentary recounts one of the country’s deadliest school shootings KARLY KAUFMAN Staff Writer

Nearly 20 years after one of the deadliest school shootings in U.S. history, five survivors return to Columbine High School to share their experiences and painful journey to healing. This is the story captured in the documentary “We Are Columbine” by first-time filmmaker Laura Farber, a fellow survivor of the tragedy.

The film premiered on the 19th anniversary of the Columbine shooting at the 37th Minneapolis St. Paul International Film Festival last weekend. Accompanying my dad, a first responder to the tragedy on April 20, 1999, I was moved by this incredibly thought-provoking and powerful film.

Offering a unique perspective, Farber shares the arc of survival and healing from classmates Amy, Gus, Zach and Jaimi, and teacher Kiki. Honest, uncensored and in their own words, the classmates take us on a very personal journey from that fateful day when their world changed to who they are today.

None of them knew how to cope and found various

ways to mask their pain and anger, waves of grief and a sense of loss. They were forced to cope with emotions and experiences beyond their understanding. And their encounters with a flood of media focused on dissecting every facet of the tragedy, the survivors were pushed to distance themselves from what happened. At a time when students just want to fit in, the Columbine survivors had no choice but to stand out.

Understanding the emotionally heavy subject matter, Farber included light-hearted moments that brought laughter to a sold-out audience. As Gus was hiding out in a classroom for hours, he recounted how his fellow classmates jury-rigged a makeshift toilet using a trashcan before SWAT forced its way into the room to rescue the beleaguered students. Amy added just the right sass and unvarnished language in moments of recollection, or when she encountered media. Zach, one of five alumni now teaching at Columbine, shared how he wanted to be single his senior while falling in love

with his then classmate who became his wife. Jaime, who painfully bears her soul in a quiet, reflective manner throughout the film, evokes laughter while sharing how she and her partner first met. “It was such a Lesbian statement,” she says with grin and chuckle.

One of the most disturbing points in the documentary is Farber is reminded by a friend and classmate Amy that the killers had placed a duffel bag with a bomb under their lunch table. Farber had long buried any memory of that moment. The homemade bomb did not detonate, but the onscreen revelation resonated uncomfortably with me, to know that it could have gone off moments before she fled the school.

In addition to the premiere, “We Are Columbine” had a second sellout showing last weekend. Farber plans for the documentary to be shown at other film festivals in the coming months with the hope of securing distribution and a commercial release date.

“Film festivals offer exposure to a variety of audiences,” Farber recounted.

“Every filmmaker wants the theater experience for the audience. However, because this is a documentary, many theaters don’t show them. I’d love to see more documentaries in theaters. They’re not big box office hits, so it’s hard.

But anyone you talk to say they love documentaries.”

I would love for “We Are

Columbine” to have a wide release. It is not only poignantly moving and offers an intimate understanding of healing, it offers us all hope for a better tomorrow.

Trump and Kanye West trade Twitter love NEW YORK (AP) — Trump-West 2020?

In a moment that seemed to encapsulate 2018’s social media-driven blurring of celebrity and politics, President Donald Trump tweeted his thanks to rap superstar Kanye West on Wednesday for his recent and perhaps unexpected online support.

“Thank you Kanye, very cool!” the president posted in response to the tweets from West, who called the president “my brother.”

West, the enigmatic hip hop provocateur, posted a series of tweets in support of the president, whom he visited at Trump Tower in December 2016 during the presidential transition.

“You don’t have to agree with trump but the mob can’t make me not love him. We are both dragon energy,” West wrote Wednesday. “He is my brother. I love everyone.

I don’t agree with everything anyone does. That’s what makes us individuals.

And we have the right to independent thought.”

Later, West posted a photo of himself wearing one of Trump’s signature red campaign “Make

America Great Again” hats and showcased that the president had signed it.

“MAGA!” Trump responded in another tweet, using the acronym for his slogan.

West noted that his wife, reality star Kim Kardashian West, wanted him to clarify that he was not in lockstep with all the Republican president’s positions.

“My wife just called me and she wanted me to make this clear to everyone,” West wrote. “I don’t agree with everything Trump does. I don’t agree 100% with anyone but myself.”

West lent an air of celebrity to Trump, who has not been nearly as popular among movie and music stars as his Democratic predecessor, Barack Obama. He complained about struggling to lure big-name talent to his Inauguration and made a point of calling Roseanne Barr, a rare Trump supporter in Hollywood, for the recent success of her sitcom.

Trump has also consistently been supported by a small percentage of black voters.

West has recorded several best-selling albums and produced a buzzy

VENOM Continued from page 15 Venom of 2007 (Topher Grace) who is distraught with emotion and simply cannot handle the power of Venom, like an alcoholic around whiskey.

In the new version, the battle between Brock and Venom is a surge of intense evil at war with the strong moral compass of Brock. The trailer shows the parasite not as a suit that would seek to control his outer appearance, but as a piece of his very DNA and conscious. It shows in the trailer, the black, tarlike strands reacting like extra limbs from his body while reinforcing his own abilities and endurance.

The trailer concludes with a look at Brock going full Venom, as the thick liquid pulls over Brock’s face and turns into the classic Venom mask as he says, “We are Venom.”

This is delightfully terrifying for two reasons.

First, one person is not supposed to say we and it is incredibly eerie when it happens. Second, the Venom face is far better than the one back in ‘07. The black skin retains a sticky, inky look while the eyes are a smoky white, akin to when a person’s eyes roll into the back of their head during a ceremonial sacrifice that you see on National Geographic. The teeth look like something out of an AVP movie and the tongue snakes out with the length that would make a Kiss band member blush.

It seems that Venom will be just as dark and sinister as he was in the comic books, and just as badass as a villain named Venom should be. This is the movie we desperately wanted, nay needed, from Marvel.

Meek Mill released from prison and rings bell PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Philadelphia-born rapper Meek Mill rang a replica Liberty Bell at center court of the Philadelphia 76ers’ first-round clinching playoff game Tuesday less than two hours after being released from prison while he appeals decade-old gun and drug convictions.

Following a five-month campaign by his supporters to get him out, the state Supreme Court on Tuesday directed a Philadelphia judge who had jailed him to immediately issue an order releasing him on unsecured bail.

Mill, whose real name is Robert Rihmeek Williams, was sentenced in November to two to four years behind bars for probation violations.

He was whisked from the State Correctional Institution in Chester by helicopter to nearby Philadelphia, just in time to ring the ceremonial bell before the start of Game 5 of the 76ers playoff series against the Miami Heat.

“I feel great,” Mill said before entering the Wells Fargo Center, where he greeted Sixers players in their locker room before the game the Sixers won 104-91 to advance to the second round of the playoffs.

“Welcome home Meek Mill,” the game announcer told the rapper, who wore a Joel Embiid jersey and sat courtside next to actor Kevin Hart, Sixers co-owner Michael Rubin, Philadelphia Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie and Democratic Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf.

A team of lawyers and public relations consultants had waged an all-out battle to get Mill freed, leveling fierce criticism at the judge as a stream of high-powered figures and celebrities visited him in jail in the weeks and days before the Supreme Court ruling.

Mill issued a statement saying the past months had been “a nightmare,” and thanked his many supporters and visitors, who included Rubin, New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft and Democratic Philadelphia Mayor Jim

Kenney.

“Although I’m blessed to have the resources to fight this unjust situation, I understand that many people of color across the country don’t have that luxury and I plan to use my platform to shine a light on those issues,” Mill said.

He said he would now focus his attention on getting his convictions overturned, and that he looks forward to resuming his music career.

Earlier this month, in a major victory for Mill, prosecutors said they agreed with his lawyers that he should get a new trial because of questions raised about the arresting officer.

The now-retired officer was among a list of police officers the prosecutor’s office has sought to keep off the witness stand in cases across the city because of credibility questions.

A spokesman for District Attorney Larry Krasner said late Tuesday that the Supreme Court’s decision on Meek Mill’s release was consistent with the position taken by their office.

The DA’s office has not said whether they would seek to retry him if the old convictions are thrown out.

But it noted that just last week, prosecutors agreed not to further prosecute three defendants whose cases were tossed because of doubts about the credibility of the arresting narcotics agent, the same officer who had arrested Mill.

Mill’s attorney, Joe Tacopina, thanked the high court.

“Meek was unjustly convicted and should not have spent a single day in jail,” Tacopina said.

In an opinion earlier this month, Judge Genece

Brinkley, who sent Mill to prison for the probation violations, strongly defended herself against accusations by the defense she was waging a vendetta against the rapper.

Softball wins home opener The team has finally played their first set of games at home this season

Sports JAKE RINEHART Staff Writer The Minnesota State Mavericks softball team split the weekend series against Minnesota State University – Moorhead and Northern State, bouncing back with a pair of wins against Upper Iowa Wednesday.

The Mavericks had a busy weekend as they spent the first part of the road trip in Moorhead, Minnesota on Saturday.

The Mavericks secured the 10-0 victory in the first game of the doubleheader against the Dragons.

The game only lasted five innings thanks to another dominant performance by Mackenzie Ward, with her two-hit and nine strikeout performance for Mankato.

Baseball ready for heated matchup against Augustana

As the weather heats up in Mankato, the Mavericks look to due diligence on the Vikings DAVID BASSEY Staff Writer This weekend, the Minnesota State Maverick baseball team looks to start their home-opener out right with a doubleheader against the Augustana Vikings on Friday and Saturday starting at 1:30pm and 12pm respectively.

The Maverick team currently have a 27-10 overall record and 22-6 NSIC record on the year, while the Augustana Vikings have a record of 36-3 overall record and 22-3 NSIC record.

Mav fans have been waiting for the boys of spring all season long with the weather playing a major role in cancellations and long-distance home games.

The Maverick baseball team has a great depth of talent but who do we watch out for?

Redshirt freshman Trevor Divinski has showed great poise all throughout the season. Looking to regain his pitching advantage, Divinski is in proper form to get multiple strikeouts this weekend.

Senior center fielder Josh Wenzel is on fire, with at least one RBI per game. Hopes are that the blue-eyed phenom will snag a homer in this home-opener.

Redshirt senior shortstop Luke Waldek has been phenomenal all season. The Connecticut native has been a tremendous force to reckon with, recording 16 RBI this season.

Redshirt sophomore Tommy McDonald is looking to regain his hitting streak after a hitless affair in the last game against the Huskies.

Junior right fielder Jordan Hart, who had a good start in the last series with the Huskies, will be looking to speed

things up and amass more home runs.

Last time the Mavericks got a win, it was a four-inning game. The Mavs, feeling confident with the pace of the practices, conditioning of the guys, and formidable opponents; it won’t promise to be a short one.

Players to watch for on

the Augustana Vikings team are Riley Johnson, coming out with a batting average of .387, and has been a formidable force for the team.

Despite the fact that freshman infielder Jordan Barth went cold in Sioux falls last week, he should not be underestimated when facing the diamond.

Sophomore right hand pitcher Caleb Stratmoen will be a sore eye out this weekend. With three shut outs this season, he’ll be hungry for another. Watch out!

Sioux falls native and junior catcher Lucas Wylie will be looking to improve his batting percentages after hitting a rough patch in his last

two games.

All is set and with the best weather in the longest time set to debut, Maverick fans should come out and support our boys before we head into the NSIC tournament next week.

Maverick Spotlight: Courtney Potter AARON YOUNG Staff Writer With the school year approaching the end and as students are preparing to move on and get ready for the summer, one student is far from thinking about what lies ahead. Freshman Courtney Potter has her mind set on what’s left of the softball season.

With the season winding down, the freshman reflects on her first season and comments on her role as a player and teammate.

“I’ve been progressing throughout it. My coaches and teammates have pushed me to strive to be the best player I can possibly be and teammate I can possibly be”, she said, “Originally starting off as an outfielder and running the bases when I got the chance [and] also doing some hitting in the [DH] spot.

Through that I have been able to fulfill my role in being the teammate I wanted

to be.”

As the season continued, not only did Potter’s progress improve, but she also changed positions as well.

“Now taking on the catching position, it’s been a transition but it’s also been one of those things you have to do for the team.”

When did this sudden change from outfield to catcher happen? Well, let’s say it wasn’t the plan to begin with. Rather, the team needed a replacement after the catcher went down with a concussion. The coach had to choose who was going to replace her, and it was Courtney Potter.

What was Potter’s reaction? She was surprised to say the least.

“She just looked right at me and said, ‘Potter, you’re up,’ and our volunteer assistant coach said that my eyes have never gotten so big before until she said I’m actually catching in a collegiate game.”

After being in the outfield catching fly balls and throwing relays, Courtney now finds herself behind the plate.

She isn’t new to the catching experience, however, as she has had previous experience

years ago.

Before Potter could even step onto the field to make an impact, she had to choose where to she wanted to go to college. Her decision wasn’t all that difficult. Instead, Minnesota State have the best of both worlds to her, as they are thriving in softball while offering a solid academic foundation.

“I was looking at [their] program first…. Minnesota State’s program is pretty good. They got something going on. They are competing for the National Championship,” she said, “Minnesota State all across the board is very strong in their academics as well as their athletics and they take pride in their athletes.”

Looking forward to next year, the starting catcher knows she has to be there for her teammates and continue to get better individually as well.

“I know that if I don’t put

in the extra work or if I’m not there to support my teammates when need be, I’m not being the best teammate I can be.”

The future for the Maverick softball team looks bright.

With one player in Jessica Meidl graduating this year, the defending champs are hungry for success. Courtney Potter ended by explaining that “We are learning, we are a young team but that’s no excuse. I’m excited and looking forward to the rest of the season.”

NFL Draft Preview: The year of the quarterback Colton Molesky makes his predictions heading into tonight’s draft, including where Rosen and Lamar land

COLTON MOLESKY Staff Writer The 2018 NFL Draft is upon us, bringing us to the brink of professional football flooding itself with young talent to refresh and bolster rosters for the coming season.

Tonight will mark the biggest night of the draft, as first-round picks fly off the board, holding the hopes of broken fan bases and the chance at redemption or the opportunity for good franchises to reload next year.

The unexpected is guaranteed to happen as teams make trades or panic in the face of the transpiring pick clock and their future.

Teams fall in love with players months before the draft, which means they will make moves to grab the players they have been eyeing since before the combine. With all that in mind, here are three moves I see teams making on Thursday night: New England Patriots trade up for Lamar Jackson The Patriots need a contingency plan for the end of the Tom Brady era, and this is the draft to snag a quarterback.

Jackson is the quarterback with by far the highest ceiling. He has a terrific arm, ran a pro-style offense in Louisville, and he’s mobile. He’s a quarterback that can run (really, really fast) but also made it clear in a Sports Illustrated article during his junior year that he wants to learn how to be a pocket passer. There are no better hands to mold

Lamar Jackson (left) and Josh Rosen (right) are projected to be one of five quarterbacks to be drafted in the first round of the NFL Draft this year. this raw talent than offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels.

He was able to start molding Jacoby Brissett and Jimmy Garoppolo, proving he can grow young quarterbacks.

As for who they trade up with, the Baltimore Ravens looks like an interesting position to trade up to. At 16th, the Ravens are a prime subject for trading down. The team traded completely out of Thursday in 2004, 2010 and 2012. The Patriots have plenty of draft capital in later rounds to spare (especially with two picks in the first round) and could throw in a later pick to move up from the 23rd spot to the 16th.

Cleveland Browns actually draft with competence The Browns have never been good at this, ever.

Cleveland has let go of eight of their last 12 first-round

picks, which has been only made worse by the terrible quarterback collection. The team also doesn’t have a first round pick left on the roster past the 2016 NFL Draft.

This is their chance to really change the talent on this roster. This is the chance to draft two quarterbacks at No.1 and No.4 on Thursday. Unprecedented? Maybe.

Quarterbacks can change a franchise and the team has already set up to build around that franchise quarterback via their free-agent acquisitions. They have not found a quarterback in over a decade, they need to find a signal-caller.

New York Giants take Josh Rosen Eli Manning is not the future of the team anymore but might have one season left.

UCLA’s quarterback Chosen Rosen was the pick to make two years ago and has been lighting up college football for three seasons. Rosen passed for over 3,000 yards twice in three seasons and notched 59 career touchdowns passes.

He is a generational talent who could change a franchise, especially if the Giants manage to hold onto star receiver Odell Beckham Jr., setting the Giants young signal caller up for maximum success.

It’ll be interesting to see who goes where tonight, as the NFL offseason continues its next chapter of the process.
