Marshall University experts to speak at national drug abuse summit

By HANNA PENNINGTON

THE PARTHENON A panel of Marshall University faculty is shedding light on substance use disorder treatments and solutions in West Virginia at The National Rx Drug Abuse and Heroin Summit this week in Atlanta, Georgia.

The summit is the nation’s largest conference dedicated to the opioid crisis and brings experts from all over the country to discuss the epidemic on a national level.

Amy Saunders, director of the Marshall University Wellness Center and co-chairman of the Substance Abuse Coalition, said the team submitted a proposal to present for a new track at the summit, focusing on how families are impacted by substance abuse.

“We’re going to be looking at how this affects children and families from a biological model,” Saunders said. “What do the drugs do? What are some of the issues? What are some of the signs and symptoms?”

Saunders said the group will also look at the issue from psychological and social aspects, specifically focusing on how the community can become more involved.

“We’re also going to be looking at it from a community aspect,” Saunders said. “So what kinds of systems can we be in in terms of schools in offering services to these children and these families so that we can help individuals overcome a lot of the barriers of this issue in terms of treatment.”

Lyn O’Connell, clinical coordinator of Marshall’s Screening, Brief Intervention and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT), said she will be focused on sharing the strengths of Appalachia when it comes to families and how to better utilize these

strengths in the region.

“Substance use disorders, or SUD, not only affect the individual but rather all individuals in the family system,” O’Connell said. “Research indicates that couple and family-based therapies are some of the most effective treatments for SUD, however they are vastly underutilized in West Virginia. It is important to support each indi-

“While we shouldn’t deny our problems, we have many innovative and inspirational solutions growing right here in town. It is exciting that these will be recognized at the national level through this summit.”

vidual in the family and promote healthy families in order to break the inter-generational cycle of SUD. Families hold the key.”

O’Connell said substance use disorders break down family and social relationships and that rebuilding these relationships is vital.

“It is necessary to build these back up through evidence-based therapies if we hope to impact those currently struggling and prevent future epidemics,” O’Connell said. “It is necessary for us to focus on strengthening the family system to build resiliency and

hope in our communities.”

O’Connell and the rest of the panel will be presenting evidence and research at the summit which supports familybased interventions.

Saunders said the summit pushes for a collaboration from multiple partners, from behavioral health providers and law enforcement to the communities and towns struggling with the issue.

“We’ve had a lot of historical trauma in West Virginia over the decades,” Saunders said. “We have a lot of socioeconomic factors that play into this, with poverty and unemployment and issues like that, it’s important that we start to map out and look into them.

Those are underlying issues that we have and are going to have to address if we are going to fix this issue.”

O’Connell said she and her colleagues are looking forward to showing national figures at the summit the groundbreaking solutions forming in Huntington.

“West Virginia and the Huntington community in particular have often been portrayed poorly both from outsiders but also by those locally feeling discouraged and overwhelmed,” O’Connell said. “While we shouldn’t deny our problems, we have many innovative and inspirational solutions growing right here in town. It is exciting that these will be recognized at the national level through this summit.”

Marianna Footo-Linz, chairman of the psychology department, Conrae Lucas-Adkins, assistant professor of school psychology, and Todd Davies, associate director of research of addiction sciences at Marshall will be joining Saunders and O’Connell in speaking at the summit.

Marshall Greek Life prepares for 2018 ‘Greek Week’

By SARAH INGRAM

THE PARTHENON Greek Week returns to Marshall next week, with different activities relating to sports, singing and community service projects taking over campus. The week is used to bring the Greek community together as well as performing community service, according to Sabel Meadows, the president of the Panhellenic Council (PHC).

“The main purpose of Greek Week is definitely Greek unity and

community service,” Meadows said. “It’s the big event of the year, where we are all able to get together, not just to compete, but to have fun.”

Throughout the week, each Greek organization will participate in different events in order to win points toward different prizes to be awarded at the end of the week. These awards include different MVPs, Greek Week winners and Greek Sing winners.

The week will feature sports tournaments including volleyball, basketball, flag football and soccer. These events are all scheduled on different days, kicking off on Sunday with volleyball at the Recreation Center.

There will also be new activities, including a cookout for the Greek community set to take place at Ritter Park and a chariot race for the participating organizations. The chariot contest consists of the fraternities and sororities constructing their own chariots to race against competing organizations.

Marshall celebrates International Children’s Day Basketball tournament with display, reading of popular children’s books to benefit Branches Domestic Violence Shelter

By SARAH INGRAM

By AMANDA LARCH

THE PARTHENON Marshall University’s Campus Activity Board will have its first ever Branch Out, Ball Out basketball tournament for students beginning at 10 a.m. in the Recreation Center Saturday. Students can create teams with up to eight members, and it costs $50 to enter the competition. All proceeds will be donated to the Branches Domestic Violence Shelter of Huntington.

Briana Murphy, public relations director for CAB, said various CAB members collaborated on the idea.

“We all worked together to make the event come to life,” Murphy, junior public relations major, said. “We are passionate about trying to do more charitable work through CAB.” The tournament itself will consist of five-on-five games with teams playing for double elimination. The winning team will be rewarded with a basketball signed by Marshall’s basketball team and Coach D’Antoni and shirts for every member. Faculty and community members can make teams and apply to

participate in the event as well.

“Participants decide who is on their team,” Murphy said. “They can register all the people they want on their team, and they create their own team.”

The event is open to the public, and CAB will raffle items such as a Marshall t-shirt, a Jon Elmore jersey, a Conference-USA hat and a Marshall basketball. Proceeds from the raffle will also be donated to the Branches Domestic Violence Shelter.

“I think it’s a great opportunity for students to come have some fun, all while helping a great cause,” Murphy said.

Those interested may register by emailing their team information to CAB@marshall.edu but cannot pay until the day of the event, or by visiting CAB’s table in the Memorial Student Center and paying then. Registration ends Friday at noon.

Tickets for those interested in being in the audience cost $2 for one, $5 for three and $10 for seven.

THE PARTHENON The library, along with assistance from the department of education, played host to the International Children’s Day event to promote reading to people of all ages Monday.

April 2 is Hans Christian Andersen’s, an author famous for classics like “The Princess and the Pea” and “The Ugly Duckling,” birthday. The day is internationally known as a day to celebrate children’s literature.

The books chosen for display come from an international committee known as the United States Board on Books for Young People. This organization works together to recognize children’s books as having international importance, whether it is for where the books come from or what stories they tell about other cultures.

Zana Sueme, a staff librarian in acquisition, stated the goal of the event was to help students understand that learning about different cultures can be beneficial for growing children.

“This event is for everyone,” Sueme said, “but education students can use books like these for lesson plans and future plans to teach children about cultures and different ways to live.”

Isaac Larison and Sueme both presented

books to the attendees to give a glance of how other people react to different events. Both speakers chose books about rain, but one consisted of a young girl that feared storms and the other book consisted of a boy who loved the rain.

This is the fourth year Marshall has celebrated International Children’s Day. Larison, the associate professor for the college of education, said the purchase of the books helps contribute to the newly adopted Open for All campaign.

“This really helps show that we are open to all,” Larison said. “Marshall has such a big portion of international students, and having books like these can help them feel included. Or if they are going to be teachers, they can use these books to include other international students they may teach one day.”

The event consisted of a wide range of books displayed for students to look at and interactive readings of a couple different books from the main coordinators of the event, Larison and Sueme. The students were also given the opportunity to get their photo taken in front of a green screen and decide which background promoting reading they wanted.

US Rep. Etsy won’t seek re-election amid harrassment queries

By SUSAN HAIGH

ASSOCIATED PRESS U.S. Rep. Elizabeth Esty announced on Monday she will not seek re-election this year amid calls for her resignation over her handling of the firing of a former chief of staff accused of harassment, threats and violence against female staffers in her congressional office.

Esty, a Democrat from Connecticut and an outspoken #MeToo advocate, made the announcement not to seek a fourth term in the November election days after apologizing for not protecting her employees from the male ex-chief of staff.

Since her Friday apology, which came after two news organizations published articles about her handling of the matter, a growing number of fellow Democrats, including the top two in the Connecticut Senate, had urged her to resign.

The congresswoman, who insisted last week she would not resign, said Monday she determined “it is in the best interest of my constituents and my family to end my time in Congress at the end of this year and not seek re-election.”

She added how “too many women” have been harmed by workplace harassment.

“In the terrible situation in my office, I could have and should have done better,” she said in a statement.

Esty’s announcement came hours after she asked the House Ethics Committee to review her actions to determine if there was any wrongdoing on her part.

Esty has said she regrets not moving along an internal investigation into the 2016 allegations against Tony Baker, which revealed more widespread allegations of abuse, and regrets providing “even the slightest assistance to this individual as he sought a new job.”

A spokesman for Baker told Hearst Connecticut Media and the Washington Post that he denies some of the allegations. A phone number listed for a Tony Baker in Columbus, Ohio, where the spokesman said the former chief of staff was living, was disconnected.

The 58-year-old Esty was a former member of her local town council in Cheshire and a one-term state representative in the state’s General Assembly before winning her first term in Congress

representing the 5th District in 2012. A graduate of Harvard University in 1981, she earned her law degree from Yale Law School in 1985. She is a mother of three and has often spoken about her time at PTA meetings and her children’s soccer matches and hockey games.

Esty won re-election in 2014 and 2016. While Connecticut’s congressional delegation is all Democrats, Esty’s district is considered more evenly divided politically compared with most of the others. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee expressed confidence it will remain in Democratic control.

Connecticut Democrats praised Esty’s decision not to seek re-election.

“The truth is, too many facts about how this incident was handled fall short of appropriate standards for responsible and responsive leadership,” said Democratic Gov. Dannel P. Malloy, who had not publicly called for her to resign.

The Democratic state Senate’s majority leader, Bob Duff, was among those to urge Esty to step down. He said several points led him to call for Esty’s resignation, including her reluctance to speak out publicly about the situation and using

taxpayer money to pay her former chief of staff about $5,000 in severance.

Staffers said Esty repaid the federal government last week with her personal funds.

House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi commended Esty’s former employee Anna Kain for coming forward and telling her story. Pelosi stopped short of calling on the congresswoman to resign, saying Esty had acknowledged “her actions did not protect Ms. Kain and should have.”

Esty has said she learned through a third party in 2016 about possible misconduct by Baker involving a former staffer, who worked in her office from 2013 to 2015. Esty said she fired Baker about three months later after receiving an internal investigation report that revealed improper behavior by Baker that affected multiple female staffers.

Before news of the controversy broke, Esty had issued press releases calling for tougher harassment protections for congressional staffers and was among those demanding that then-U.S. Rep. John Conyers, of Michigan, resign amid allegations of misconduct.

Kentucky, Oklahoma teachers rally as rebellion grows “If I didn’t have a second job, I’d be on food stamps,” said Rae Lovelace, a single mom and a third-grade teacher at Leedey Public Schools in northwest Oklahoma who works 30 to 40 hours a week at a second job teaching online courses for a charter school.

GOP Rep. Lewis Moore said it’s unclear what more teachers can accomplish by shutting down schools.

“I don’t know how much more can be gained when we already raised $350 million for teacher raises,” Moore said. “The Department of Corrections needs a billion dollars more. Everybody would agree our roads and bridges aren’t squared away.”

But Rep. Collin Walke, a Democrat, said teachers should keep up the pressure. Two separate bills pending in the Legislature to expand tribal gambling and eliminate the income tax deduction for capital gains could generate more than $100 million in additional funding each year.

“I think the Republican strategy is to wait the teachers out,” Walke said.

Amid a chorus of chants from teachers rallying in the Capitol, Kentucky lawmakers considered a new state budget that includes higher spending for public education.

Budget negotiators unveiled a spending plan Monday that includes increased spending for the main funding formula for K-12 schools and restored money for school buses that the state’s Republican governor had proposed eliminating.

The additional education spending would be paid for by a 6 percent sales tax on a host of services that had previously been tax-free. The spending and taxing proposals cleared the Senate on Monday and went to the House, which was expected to vote on the measures later Monday.

Language arts teacher Lesley Buckner was reluctant to give lawmakers much credit.

“We’re sending a message,” she said. “If we continue to stay united, they cannot turn away from us, they cannot turn their backs on us.”

The rally happened after hundreds of teachers called in sick Friday to protest last-minute changes to their pension system.

Teachers have rallied several times during Kentucky’s legislative session to protest the pension bill, but Monday was by far their biggest event.

Republican lawmakers in Kentucky passed a pension overhaul Thursday that preserves benefits for most workers but cuts them for new teachers. The move was done in response to chronic underfunding of the state’s teacher retirement system and in defiance of a powerful teachers union that vowed political retribution. Opponents objected that the pension changes were inserted into an unrelated bill without a chance for public input, and worry that the changes will discourage young people from joining the profession.

Republican Gov. Matt Bevin has not yet signed the bill, but last week tweeted his support, saying public workers owe “a deep debt of gratitude” to lawmakers who voted to pass it.

During Monday’s rally, some teachers, angry at lawmakers who supported the bill, chanted “Vote them out.”

Melissa Wash, a first-grade teacher form Gallatin County who has been teaching for 19 years, said she voted for Bevin, but now plans to become a Democrat. To the lawmakers who voted for the pension overhaul, she said: “You better not count on another year in office.”

Herd baseball suffers home sweep against FAU, falls to last in Conference USA

RICK FARLOW

Marshall, sporting home white jerseys, plays defense as it attempts to stifle Florida Atlantic in game one of its Saturday afternoon doubleheader in Charleston, West Virginia. The Herd plays its C-USA matchups at Appalachian Power Park, which is also home of the Pittsburgh Pirates’ minor league affiliate, the West Virginia Power.

By RICK FARLOW

SPORTS EDITOR After achieving a 10-4 win-loss record to start the season, the Marshall baseball team lost eight of its next nine games, including a three-game sweep at the hands of Florida Atlantic over the weekend at Appalachian Power Park.

“Every team is going to go through some adversity,” head coach Jeff Waggoner said. “And how you handle that is either going to make you a great team or it’s going to knock you down so much that you can’t get back up.”

After the postponement of Friday night’s game due to weather and poor field conditions, the teams played games one and two in a Saturday a doubleheader.

The Herd lost game one 3-2. The matchup was a pitcher’s duel, as Herd junior righthander Josh Shapiro opposed FAU’s senior lefty Jake Miednik on the mound. Shapiro went six innings allowing one earned run and two hits while striking out five and walking two. Miednik went six innings full, as well, and allowed one earned run (another unearned) and five hits while striking out 10 and not allowing a walk.

Marshall jumped out to a two-run lead heading into the fifth inning, as junior third baseman Raul Cabrera hit a solo home run in the second and junior catcher Reynaldo Pastrana doubled

in the fourth. FAU answered, though, with a run of its own in the sixth off of an RBI single by junior third baseman Joe Montes. In the eighth inning, FAU scored two more to take a 3-2 lead, as Marshall senior relief pitcher Gordon Cardenas allowed an RBI triple and an RBI single. The Herd would not rally additional runs and Cardenas was charged with the loss.

“I told the team, ‘your backs are against the wall right now you got a great (FAU) team—a top-10 RPI team—it’s going to take everybody,’” Waggoner said. “We’re down some guys, and it’s going to take the next guy to step up and get the job done and work through this.”

Game two featured a slugfest, as the teams combined for eight total home runs. After FAU jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the first, the Owls’ sophomore outfielder Cody Wilson and freshman infielder Andru Summerall hit back-to-back solo home runs in the third. FAU took a 3-0 lead.

Marshall tied it in the bottom half of the inning, though, as sophomore second baseman Peter Hutzal hit a three-run shot over the right field wall. Then, in the fifth, Hutzal propelled the Herd to a 4-3 lead with a solo home run, his second homer of the game. The Herd’s lead didn’t last long, though, as FAU sophomore second baseman Richie Nizza joined the home run club with a sixth inning two-run shot. Once again, the Herd quickly responded as senior

designated hitter Dakota Robbins tied the game with a solo home run in the bottom of the sixth.

FAU’s offense was relentless, however, as Summerall hit his second home run of the game in the seventh—a solo shot—followed by a ninth inning two-run shot by junior shortstop Tyler Frank. FAU once again had a three-run lead. Marshall rallied in the ninth, but scratched across only one run before Pastrana struck out with runners on second and third to end the game.

“I thought we played better in the second game,” Waggoner said. “We had a little bit of edge about us. We had chances in both games to open the game up. In the first game, we had a runner on third with less than two outs a couple times, and we didn’t get the swings we needed.”

Marshall entered Sunday on five-game losing streak and looked to avoid its second-straight series sweep. Marshall freshman right hander Chris Fryer started on the mound. He went three innings, allowing four earned runs on four hits and four walks.

FAU scored two in the first inning off of an RBI single and RBI double. Marshall answered in the bottom half of the first with an RBI single of its own, making the score 2-1. FAU extended its lead in third, though, with a Cody Wilson homerun. Then the wheels fell off for the Herd, as FAU scored 10 more runs—five in the fourth and five

in the fifth—and achieved a 12-1 lead. Marshall scored two in the bottom of the fifth, but FAU answered with a run in the sixth and two more in the seventh.

Heading into the bottom of the seventh, the score was 17-3. Marshall needed to score at least five runs in the inning in order to avoid the 10run mercy rule. However, FAU used two pitchers to get three outs and win the game in seven innings, completing the weekend sweep.

“We can still win a lot of games; we just have to take things one pitch at a time and get our confidence back,” Waggoner said. “Getting confidence back means everybody has to do their job and not rely on everybody else.”

Marshall’s record fell to 11-12 (1-9 CUSA)—its first losing record of the season. The Herd sits in last place in the Conference USA standings and looks to end its six-game losing streak, as it plays a home-and-home against Morehead State Tuesday and Wednesday.

“We talk a lot about just doing your job and not waiting for somebody else to do it,” Waggoner said. “I think we’ve gotten away from that. Know your role, know who you are as a player and not try to be somebody different. If we can get back to doing that, we’ll get back on track and win more games.”

Herd softball drops two of three against FIU Women’s soccer finalizes 2018 signing class

By COURTNEY ANDREWS

THE PARTHENON Thundering Herd softball dropped two of its three games against Conference USA east region rival Florida International this past weekend at Dot Hicks Field. With the series loss, the Herd falls to 1518-1 overall and 6-5-1 in conference.

“Success is fleeting, and it leaves you the second you think you’ve grasped it,” Marshall head coach Jen Steele said.

The series began with a Friday doubleheader in which the teams split. Marshall battled back in game one of the series and won with a walk-off hit by senior outfielder Jordan Colliflower.

“Our grit to come back after (FIU) tied it up and went ahead was impressive,” Steele said.

The Herd was up 5-0 after three innings, but FIU scored three runs in the fifth and three more in the sixth to take a 6-5 lead. The teams continued to exchange blows, as Marshall reclaimed the lead in the bottom of the sixth. In the top of the seventh, Marshall allowed FIU to take a 9-8 lead. The Herd eventually pulled through with the 10-9 victory, however, as Colliflower singled to shortstop and drove in sophomore infielder Blakely Burch from third.

Sophomore pitcher Kailee Williamson was credited with the win. Williamson pitched one inning and allowed two runs off of one hit.

In game two, the Panthers heated up late and won 10-2. The Herd was up 2-0 going into the sixth, but FIU’s offense exploded and scored nine runs in the sixth inning. The Panthers added their final run in the seventh with an RBI single to center field.

Williamson suffered the loss, despite five innings of shutout pitching. Williamson went six innings, allowing nine earned runs (all in the sixth) on nine FIU hits.

In the final game of the series Saturday, the teams battled until the Panthers scored four runs in the seventh to take the game 9-5.

Marshall freshman Aly Harrell and junior Briana Daiss each homered in the loss. The home run in game three was the second of the series for Diass.

Harrell’s solo home run came in the bottom of the second and tied the game at one. Then, the Herd came back from a four-run deficit as Diass’ fifth inning, two-run homer tied the game at five. Her deep shot would be the last time the Herd scored in the game and FIU clinched its series win.

The Herd has a short turnaround, as it is back at Dot Hicks field Tuesday for a doubleheader against St. Francis. The first game is set for 1 p.m. “(We want to) just have fun really, because that’s all that matters,” Marshall senior Madi Marshall said. “You have to be good leading up to May, so we just want to have fun together and win a lot.”

SOFTBALL STANDINGS

By LUKE CREASY

THE PARTHENON After adding another name to the roster this past week, the Marshall women’s soccer roster is complete for the 2018 season, bringing in both local and international talent to the program.

The signing class includes midfielder Laura Farrelly (New South Wales, Australia), goalkeeper Lindsay Langley (Springfield, Oregon), midfielder/forward Emery Biggs (Clayton, North Carolina) and midfielder/defender Tesia Schray (Huntington, West Virginia). Farrelly signed as an early enrollee and joined the team for the spring. Langley, Biggs and Schray will be immediately eligible in the fall semester.

Head coach Kevin Long said he’s hoping for a more competitive atmosphere generated by the returning members of the Herd, but the new recruiting class changes the game.

“By the time they get here, we hope our current roster can be more competitive both in training and in games,” Long said. “We know they are going to bring something to the table that we don’t naturally have. We have to develop a competitive nature that has been lost over the past couple of years. We are eager to see these young players bring it naturally from their club environment and hit the ground running with the competitive nature.”

The team has played three of its seven scheduled spring matches so far and will play its final home match April 18. It’s a period where Long said he’ll learn more about his squad on the field.

“I think we have a good balance of competition,” Long said. “We play some teams where I think everyone can have a little bit of success in some of the games we play, and then we finish our spring season against a nationally-ranked Virginia Tech team and test ourselves against higher competition.”

Injuries and inconsistency crippled the Herd this past fall season as it finished with an overall record 5-11-1 (3-6-1 C-USA). Marshall won just one match in regulation and finished the season with three consecutive losses and failed to qualify for the Conference USA Tournament for the second consecutive season after reaching the final in 2015. Long said the depleted roster has made its spring season just a bit more challenging.

Marshall had 10 injured players by the end of the fall season, including season-ending injuries midway through the 2017 campaign to midfielder Jayne Lawman and forward Kylie Slusser. Multiple other Herd players only played limited minutes in 2017 due to injuries as well.

“This spring is different than others beacsue we have a lot of players who aren’t playing right now, who we are going to rely on next year,” Long said. “While we are developing and seeing what we will look like in 11-on-11, we are sure hoping that come August next year, we have some different faces that we can use.”

A ‘fake news’ warning misses the point of its central message

ASSOCIATED PRESS

In this Oct. 12, 2004, file photo, Sinclair Broadcast Group, Inc.’s headquarters stands in Hunt Valley, MD. President Trump is jumping to the defense of the Sinclair Broadcast Group, which is under fire following the rapid spread of a video showing anchors at its stations across the country reading a script criticizing “fake” news stories. Trump tweeted Monday that it was funny to watch “Fake News Networks” criticizing Sinclair for being biased. (AP Photo/Steve Ruark, File) Since the 2016 election, the term “fake news” has become daily terminology in referring to unfair, biased and inaccurate reporting. However, it has also been used by President Donald Trump and many others as a way to dismiss news stories that are either unflattering or offensive. While there certainly are issues of media

bias affecting the country, general journalism ethics requires accuracy and truth. All journalists should care about truth and transparency.

When Sinclair Broadcasting Group, the largest owner of local television stations in the nation, sent out a script to its stations, demanding anchors read it as a promotional video

speaking out against the plague of fake news.

Sinclair is already known for its right leaning views, and this corporate decision for a must-run segment led many of their local journalists to feel incredibly uncomfortable.

While this was not the first time the media company has delivered must-run content to

LET ME BE FRANK: On Timeout

By FRANKLIN NORTON

MANAGING EDITOR When the calendar page flips to April, life feels like a sprint. It’s as if the earth turns just a bit faster. I have a to-do list that gets longer every day, and I have to wonder how I will ever have the time to do everything I need to do, while also maintaining personal wellness.

I finally got to a point where I realized that I needed to take a timeout. I needed to plant my feet in the dirt and get back to the most basic aspect of our being: breathing.

This morning I went for a run. I used to run cross country and track in high school, and it was a daily routine I took for granted. I have been trying to get out and run more over the past several weeks, after neglecting my running shoes for over a year. It was a cold and rainy morning,

its stations, it was the first time it asked local anchors to do the talking, which is eerie, as local citizens typically trust their respective news anchors.

“I feel bad because they’re seeing these people they’ve trusted for decades tell them things they know are essentially propaganda,” one local anchor told CNN Money.

After Deadspin created an eerie video of all the anchors reciting the same lines, the story broke and went viral, with Trump himself weighing in on Twitter.

“So funny to watch Fake News Networks, among the most dishonest groups of people I have ever dealt with, criticize Sinclair Broadcasting for being

but my mind was set, and my shoes were laced. I stepped outside, and I just started to go. I had no phone and no music. All I had was my breathing and the rhythm of my steps. Distracted only by the beating of my heart and the occasional dog passing by me, I felt free and, although my legs were sore and my lungs stressed, calm.

As I ran, a realization came to my mind: I have time. I have plenty of time in my day, and I need to spend some of that time grounding myself, getting back to the basics, dealing with the other complicated stuff at another time in my day. It’s important that we take these times to gather ourselves. This run affected every other part of my day. I was more focused and productive, and most importantly, I was more myself.

In an effort to shine a shameful light on fake news across the country, Sinclair Broadcasting Group issued out a must-run script, feeding their journalists words to spit out to their publics.

GREEK cont. from 1

Another new aspect of Greek Week this year is a focus on giving back to the city.

The different Greek councils, which includes PHC, Interfraternity Council (IFC) and the National PanHellenic Council (NPHC), have dedicated a day to different community service projects.

There will be multiple stations set up in the Don Morris room of the student center to collect food, blankets and various hygiene products for the Harmony House, an organization that works toward helping the homeless population in Huntington.

Rachel Delaney, the sophomore philanthropy executive for PHC, said she thinks

incorporating the day of community service is important, because Greek Life is not only about those involved in a fraternity or sorority.

“This event is so special, because we have time dedicated just to philanthropy,” Delaney said. “Greek Life isn’t just about sports or just about us hanging out. Yes, we get together and build relationships, but this event is reaching out to help others, which is awesome.”

The week will conclude on Apr. 15 with the Greek community competing at Greek Sing. This is a competition where the organizations are given the opportunity to show their musical talents. This event will also raise money for another local organization,

Lily’s Place, which serves babies who suffer from neonatal abstinence syndrome and provides support to families and caregivers.

The awards ceremony will take place shortly after the final performance at Greek Sing to recognize those who have exceeded expectations in the various Greek Week events. Meadows said while the week is a compilation of competitions, she hopes everyone has fun.

“Yes, we are competing,” Meadows said. “But I hope everyone just has a good time together. I think that’s more important than winning.”

BANFF Mountain Film Fest returns to the Kieth-Albee

By RACHAEL COOK

THE PARTHENON For the second year, Banff Mountain Film Festival will be showing a variety of outdoor recreational films today at 7 p.m. at the KeithAlbee Theater.

Banff Mountain Film Festival has existed since 1976 and features short films and documentaries about mountain culture, sports and the environment. Banff tours over 40 countries, and around 450 communities in the United States.

“Huntington is a community that is well known for its outdoor recreation opportunities,” Chad Steen, assistant director of adventure rec and youth programs, said. “We’re definitely the target market for this.”

Steen said Banff is the largest outdoor recreational film festival in the world.

“Having this come to Huntington has been

Pac kage of gun restr ictions se t t o become la w in Ver mont

By WILSON RING

ASSOCIATED PRESS A package of gun restrictions is on track to become law in Vermont after the state Senate on Friday approved raising the legal age for gun purchases, expanding background checks for private gun sales and banning high-capacity magazines and rapid-fire devices known as bump stocks.

The measure, which the House approved this week and Republican Gov. Phil Scott has said he will sign, reflects a remarkable turnaround for a state that has long opposed gun control measures.

Scott acknowledged that many Vermonters would be disappointed by the vote and by his support for provisions that he opposed as recently as two months ago.

"I share it. I know why they are disappointed," Scott said. "But I think at the end of the day, they'll soon learn that what we have proposed, what's being passed at this time, doesn't intrude upon the Second Amendment. It doesn't take away guns, and I believe that we will get accustomed to the new normal, which is trying to address

a two-year work in progress,” Steen said. “It wasn’t the easiest process. We had to sell our community to them, and they picked it up, and we got to Steen said that while there are a lot of pieces focused on sports, there are several cultural pieces as well. Steen said that he hopes people will experience things that they haven’t before and will leave the theater feeling inspired.

“You may have someone who is interested in outdoors but not art or even interested in arts and not outdoors, but Banff mixes the two together,” Steen said. “The event gives them a chance to go out to the Keith-Albee and see a world class event.”

Banff Mountain Film Festival is free for Marshall Students, and $10 for the community.

this underlying violence that we are seeing across the nation."

The turning point in this state came one day after the school shooting in Parkland, Florida, that killed 17 people: A Vermont teenager was arrested on charges he was planning a shooting at the Fair Haven Union High School, which he once attended. Vermont police said tragedy was averted only because a friend of the teenager alerted authorities.

In one day, Scott, who had previously said he did not favor any gun restrictions, changed his mind and urged lawmakers to act.

About 2,500 students and supporters rallied in front of the Vermont Statehouse last weekend as part of the national "March for our Lives" movement. But for the past several weeks, gun-rights supporters, many wearing hunter orange vests or hats, have filled the halls of the Statehouse showing their opposition to gun restrictions.

The 17-13 Senate vote on Friday came after an emotional debate in which lawmakers from the largely rural state spoke of the centuries-old traditions that allow people who live far from the nearest police station to keep weapons as a means of self-defense.

Deadspin video illustrates Sinclair stations' messaging

TWITTER SCREEN SHOT

By DAVID BAUDER

AP MEDIA WRITER A video with dozens of news anchors reading a script about "fake stories" put in stark visual terms what for weeks had largely been an academic debate about media consolidation and the Sinclair Broadcast Group's efforts to promote a consistent message across its stations.

The 98-second video, posted on Deadspin Saturday, has already been viewed by millions of people and provoked a tweet by President Donald Trump supporting the corporation on Monday.

Sinclair owns nearly 200 local stations and had ordered its anchors to read a statement expressing concern about "the troubling trend of irresponsible, one-sided news stories plaguing the country." Some outlets publish these "fake stories" without checking facts first and some people in the media push their own biases, the statement said.

The anchors give no specific examples.

Sinclair, whose corporate leadership leans right, uses terminology familiar to Trump and his criticisms of "fake news." In the message, the anchors say they "work very hard to seek the truth and strive to be fair, balanced and factual."

Timothy Burke, a video editor at Deadspin, said he read a CNN story last month about the script being sent to local stations and contacted a media monitoring service to collect examples of the statement being read on the air.

After receiving more than 50, he fashioned them into a video that shows anchors reading different portions of the text, either simultaneously or one

after the other.

He posted a "teaser" with a small portion of the video Friday night and it quickly attracted attention when tweeted by a Wisconsin journalism professor. Not wanting to see his work appropriated by someone else, Burke said he rushed to get the full video posted Saturday afternoon. It spread quickly, particularly when tweeted by celebrities like Judd Apatow and Jimmy Kimmel.

The video's repetition illustrates Sinclair's reach in a way mere numbers can't, said Jeff Jarvis, a journalism professor at the City University of New York.

"That's what makes the video so powerful," he said. "It illustrates a story that in some cases can read like a conspiracy theory. You can see by the video that it's not."

A Sinclair executive said Monday that he finds it curious that the company would be attacked for asking news people to remind the audience that unsubstantiated stories exist on social media.

"It is ironic that we would be attacked for messages promoting our journalistic initiative for fair and objective reporting, and for specifically asking the public to hold our newsrooms accountable," said Scott Livingston, Sinclair's senior vice president of news. "Our local stations keep our audiences' trust by staying focused on fact-based reporting and clearly identifying commentary."

After the story was reported on CNN and MSNBC Monday, Trump jumped to Sinclair's defense.

"Funny to watch Fake News Networks, among the most dishonest groups of people I have ever dealt with, criticizing

Sinclair Broadcasting for being biased," he tweeted. "Sinclair is far superior to CNN and even more Fake NBC, which is a total joke."

Meanwhile, CNN's Jim Acosta was criticized by some conservative media outlets on Monday for shouting questions about immigration to Trump while the president and first lady were attending an Easter event on the grounds of the White House.

MSNBC's "Morning Joe" did a lengthy segment on Burke's Deadspin video Monday, showing the words being repeated by several anchors. Co-host Mika Brzezinski said she was surprised some of the local anchors didn't refuse to read it.

"This looks like something we would mock the Russians for doing during the days of Pravda," said cohost Joe Scarborough.

Dan Rather's website said that it was "sickening" to watch local journalists being forced to read something that trashes their own profession.

Deadspin received a hat tip from HBO's John Oliver, whose "Last Week Tonight" did a lengthy story on Sinclair last season. "Nothing says 'we value independent media' like dozens of reporters forced to repeat the same message over and over again, like members of a brainwashed cult," Oliver said.

Burke said he's received a number of emails from people who work at Sinclair stations but he's been too busy at his regular job posting sports videos to look into them.

"I'm glad it received a large audience," he said.

Small business offers worldly style to find out whether the clothes would actually sell if she opened a shop. According to Morley, she sold many items and knew that she would have customers if she went through with opening a store.

Morley decided to use her shop to bring fashion styles from the United Kingdom to Huntington.

“Our goal is to bring clothes from all across the globe,” Morley said. “I wanted to bring something different to the people here that they couldn’t find anywhere else.”

She only ever orders a few of something in order to help customers feel unique. She said this allows for people to be confident in the fact that they are one of only a few people to own a piece.

Morley said opening was both exciting and terrifying in the first few months. Her business officially opened on Oct. 31, so she quickly made sales to people shopping for Christmas gifts.

Although, Morley said she was left devastated in January after everyone had spent their money on the holidays.

Morley has now reached a particularly steady understanding of when people are more likely to visit her store. She works to stay productive even on her slow days by doing inventory, detailed cleaning and sending out promotions for her customers.

Morley was once a stay-at-home mom with her twin boys, and now she works six days a week. Morley said, luckily, her children have adapted well and actually love visiting their mother’s store.

Morley said she also shops differently since opening her shop.

Morley said small businesses are the biggest employer across the world, so she tries to support these organizations. Morley said that whenever her family travels, she tries to go to smaller businesses for souvenirs and gifts since she now understands all of the hard work put into creating the business.

Morley’s personality has also been affected by the new store.

She said she believes she has become a better person through her challenges with the business. Morley said her communication with people has improved as well as her ability to be “savvier with money.” She also said she is more enthusiastic about small successes in her industry.

Morley has also worked with various students at Marshall to provide them with opportunities to learn about fashion and the business industry.

BANDS YOU SHOULD BE LISTENING TO: Shenanagram

By LILLY DYER

PHOTO EDITOR Huntington, West Virginia–a small city full of music venues, bands and a wide variety of genres to choose from. Mason Hart, Brandon McClay, Ian Noble and Chantz Sigler are four guys who make up one of those bands, and it’s Shenanagram. Four goofballs who take their music seriously to guarantee a good time of alternative rock.

Shenanagram has recently began to climb the local music hierarchy as its mainly rocked between The Press Club on Fourth Avenue and The VClub on Sixth Avenue. The band’s music is nothing but incredible and worth every single minute to watch and listen. Shenanagram is breaking down the Huntington stereotype of an Americana/Folk genre that has taken root and brought forth a sound that is not only idiosyncratic to the area, but robust.

Shenanagram currently has two songs on Spotify– “Mayor of Where” and “I Got Nuthin’”– both of which are iconic to their sound and performances.

McClay, featured on “I Got Nuthin’” and other songs, has a voice that is silvery and straight forward, bringing a nice tone to songs and lyrics. Hart, the featured voice on “Mayor of Where” and others, is modulated and controlled providing a captivating aesthetic.

McClay and Hart not only contribute unique voices but guitars that are full of rounded, fun and addictive riffs. Sigler, drummer, is particularly fun, giving out sharp and punchy hits. The way Sigler works the drums gives movement to not only the

song but the listener. Noble, bassist, slaps tight bass lines that are both rounded and organic, pulling everything together.

Watching them perform live is energetic and absorbing, while each band member plays using their entire body. This band really feels the music.

Shenenagram is worth paying the cover charge, downloading songs, following on social media and waiting for their next move.

If you like The Strokes, The Arctic Monkeys or alternative rock, hop on to this band now, because they’re worth listening to. Shenenagram performs next Friday at 8 p.m. at The Press Club.
