Oswego State takes back night Community marches against sexual assault, violence

Salmon Run attracts locals, tourists to Oswego rivers

On Oct. 10, Oswego State students marched across east campus for its annual Take Back the Night, hosted by the Women’s Center. One of the first Take Back the Night marches happened in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 1975. Some goals of the event are to end sexual violence, domestic violence and other types of interpersonal violence and support survivors, according to the Take Back the Night Foundation. The title refers to the feelings that women cannot safely walk alone at night due to fear of assault or violence against them. The event began in the Marano Campus Center food court, with students and faculty alike creating signs to carry during the march. The Women’s Center president, Iyuhna Callands,

opened up the evening, acknowledging the marches of the past and speaking about what the march means to her. “Even if you’re not a victim, the point of this cause is bigger than us, and together, we

are stronger than one,” Callands said. “This month is dedicated to pay homage to our survivors, and tonight, we will be the voice of the voiceless.”

String of laptop thefts under investigation University Police warns against leaving valuables Kassadee Paulo News Editor kpaulo@oswegonian.com

An ongoing string of reported laptop thefts began Oct. 2 at Oswego State’s Penfield Library third floor study rooms, with the most recent on Oct. 9, according to University Police Chief John Rossi. So far, there have been five thefts when the laptops were left unattended at the library. Rossi said the thefts are under investigation and the footage on the security cameras in the library are being reviewed. As of now, there are no suspects. Rossi said he cannot do anything to help recover the stolen laptops. He said he hopes the students have homeowners or rental insurance that can cover for the loss and that

Oswego is a popular tourist attraction when it comes to fishing, with its ample water ways and the infamous salmon run through the rivers of Oswego. While salmon may begin showing up as early as the first of June, the main season runs from July through September, with king salmon running first, followed by cohos and atlantic. The major arrival of salmon brings fishermen from all over to Oswego to participate in the season. Both locals and tourists take pleasure in the fishing opportunities and chartering services Oswego has to offer. Joe Orson, the captain of TSI Charters, has worked with a wide variety of recreational fishermen. “I have a lot of people that are local, from Oswego, Fulton, Syracuse area and Albany area,” Orson said. “And then I have a lot of out-of-staters.” Orson has also had customers from Quebec, Canada, as well as travelers from overseas who stopped to fish in Oswego. “I had one charter with two gentlemen from England that were going to Kenya to fish for trout after they left us,” Orson said. “We have other people going to different parts of Africa for fish, too.” Not every salmon fisherman uses a chartering service, however, as Donnie Filkins and his family from the Al-

bany area have been coming to Oswego County for years to take advantage of the salmon runs. “I read about the Salmon River and Oswego River in a magazine and saw the pictures of guys hoisting large fish,” Filkins said. “I then begged my father to take me, and the size of the fish I saw being caught floored me.” Now that he has a family of his own, Filkins continues the tradition with his wife and daughters. “Now that my wife and kids are into it, it really has me thinking about buying my own little place up there to be closer to it,” Filkins said. “Thankfully for me, it’s only a 2.5-hour drive there, so day trips work out pretty well. I also have access to a friend’s camp in Mexico I can use.” Oswego State senior Wyatt DeMarre is a commuter from Pulaski and veteran salmon fisher. He said he likes to fish in the salmon run often.

they have all of their work backed up on a cloud. Rossi urges students to do the following: sleep on top of the laptop if it is necessary to nap in the library, do not leave valuables unattended or ask strangers to watch them, use commercial location software, such as Apple FindMyiPhone or use tamperresistant tags that can be applied to the laptop to identify it in case of theft, and engrave their driver’s license identification number on the bottom of the laptop. Rossi also encourages students to report suspicious behavior by calling University Police at 315-312-5555 or by using the Oswego Guardian app, which offers a feature to text University Police. “University Police have also had burglaries reported in the last two

weeks from unlocked residence hall rooms and Village [town houses],” Rossi said. “Please keep your doors locked even if you leave for a short time. See it; hear it; report it.”

Anneke Darling hosts OzTalks in Scales Hall Speaks about struggles, remaining positive through conflict Kassadee Paulo News Editor kpaulo@oswegonian.com The theme for this semester’s OzTalk series revolves around resiliency toward struggles and conflicts in life. Scales Hall Residence Hall Director Anneke Darling shared her experience with this topic Tuesday, Oct. 9 in the residence hall main lounge, which she referred to as a living room setting, with hot chocolate and tea in mugs, light music filling the silence and paint supplies for attendees to use during the talk. “My life is definitely a journey, and I can’t say I’ve arrived at any destination yet in regards to this particular topic,” Darling said. Darling shared some mistakes she has made in life, including using fabric softener as laundry detergent for an entire semester or bombing a presentation in front of an executive director, and how she has recovered from her failures. “A lot of those things maybe didn’t happen to me specifically, in the sense that the direct impact was either against me or not my experience, but were definitely things that shaped the way that I view the world and shaped who I am today,” Darling said. Born and raised in a small town in Michigan, Darling said she had been shaped by the responsibility of taking care of others, as her family took in seriously ill family members until they passed away from the time she was 10 years old to when she was 16, and the impact it had on her family. Darling said many of her fond memories growing up were of her relationship with Hospice care

workers, for whom she said she has a great respect to this day. Darling said she can see the circumstances as a gift in disguise because it taught her about mortality and the importance of living for the present, rather than the future. Attendee Nicky Radford said that, as a current undergraduate student who is consistently stressed, he resonated with Darling’s experience living much of her undergrad years looking to the future rather than living for the future. He said he learned that is best to try and live in the present because it gives one a better mentality. “Even through hardship and even through struggles as intense as hers, you can overcome it,” Radford said. “It just requires that resilience, hope and belief that even when things are rough, it will get better.” Starting at the age of 12, Darling said she tried to predict the needs of her loved ones, do everything she could to accommodate those needs and be the dependable child. Later in life, as an escape, she said she would often sneak into her church to play the grand piano, for which she had been receiving lessons starting at 6 years old. “I had a key and I would let myself in, and they had a beautiful grand piano that nobody seemed to mind that I played. I’m sure they knew I was doing it, but nobody stopped me,” Darling said. “I would play for hours and hours and just try and work through the emotions and the things I was experiencing and the things I was seeing.” She began painting as another creative outlet for her emotions, which she practiced while speaking to the audience in the lounge. She also used traveling and com-

munity service to put things in her life in perspective. She said journaling and writing helps her to take time to deconstruct her thoughts and reframe the situation in a different light. While Darling said she still struggles with maintaining hope for things to be able to change, she said she best deals situations by taking it as it is. “I wish I could say a lot of those things have been resolved… I wish I could tie a little bow on that box of stories and make it prettier than what it is, but it’s just not at that point right now,” Darling said. “Life is messy; family, I think, is messier, and there’s a lot of difficulty there.” Darling said the times where she has best handled situations has been when she took time to dwell in her community and establish a support system, including a connection she created with her own hall director during her undergraduate, whom she claimed was part of the reason why she became a hall director herself. A phrase Darling likes, “be more gentle with yourself,” was said to her once by Oneida Hall Assistant Hall Director Kelly Kearns, and she said she wants to try and implement it more in her life because it is important to not bear all of the weight of stress. Johnson Hall Assistant Hall Director Sarah Pasquarelli said she enjoyed attending the talk because Darling is her friend and coworker and the topic of resiliency resonated with her. “I would like to be able to use it to work with students better in my hall,” Darling said. “[My biggest take-away] is to be more vulnerable because it can have an impact on anyone.”

A4 NEWS Author Ryan Van Meter speaks on noticing life Women’s Center organizes Living Writers Series hosts nonfiction memoirist discussion about violence THE OSWEGONIAN

FRIDAY, Oct. 12, 2018

Stephen Novak Staff Writer news@oswegonian.com

On Oct. 8, the Living Writers Series at Oswego State invited Ryan Van Meter, author of “If You Knew Then What I Know Now.” Through his presentation, Van Meter educated aspiring writers on the themes in his work, emphasizing how they can take the time in the smaller moments of life and, by enriching those memories, enhance their writing abilities. Van Meter started with a story about his time in a burrito shop where he took the time to watch people going about their own business and did what he referred to as “people watching.” The students of the class were asked to read his book, which takes the form of a collection of essays that chronicle his life growing up as a gay man. He discussed the smaller moments of his life that, while at the time seemed moot and uninteresting, had major ramifications on the man he became. He stressed these moments are the ones that led him to adopt his writing style and outlook on life. Intermixed with plenty of jests and comments about burritos, his conversation had taken on a lot of the qualities of that his writing is known for. With around 100 students having read Van Meter’s book, he was given the opportunity to speak with them on a more personal level. Creative writing major and junior Damian Campana said he was enticed by the way Van Meter brought his personality to the stage. “Even in his presentation, he was a writer,” Campana said. Campana went on to discuss the many things that the story taught him about writing. He said he is thankful for the Living Writers Series, as it introduced him the book he came to like and would have never heard of the series without the class. Nicole Powers, a senior double majoring in English and creative writing, also attended. “I really like creative nonfiction in general, so I really enjoyed [his book],” Powers said.

OSWEGO from COVER

Stephen Novak | The Oswegonian Ryan Van Meter wrote one of the books students from the Living Writers Series class will read this semester.

In particular, Powers said she resonated with his essay, “Things I Will Want to Tell You on our First Date But Won’t” where the narrator talks about various topics that would ruin his date but he wishes they knew, ranging from admitting how long it has been since his last date or disclosing his concerns about names that were too similar. “I was writing a lot of breakup poetry. That when I searched for ‘gay breakup books’ on Amazon. com, the first result was ‘Cowboys: Erotica Tales,’” Van Meter said. Powers said that the way he wrote the essay was honest and beautiful because he was not afraid to be honest about who he was. She praised this by highlighting the way he uses his words to disclose the human condition. In his closing thoughts, Van Meter provided advice to young writers on how to take those smaller, sillier and forgettable moments and turn them into fuel for creative passions. He advised students to take their eyes off their phones and search for context in moments that they

might not be focused on to search for subtext and metaphors where seemingly none exist. “Always be a microphone. Be a camera instead of relying on some other device to be your camera. [That way], you are fully experiencing life... Later on, the moments might be meaningful to you are available,” he said. Van Meter said that a large theme in his story was being oblivious to growth and how the major moments in one’s life do not superimpose themselves with dramatic flair and a fade to black, but hit people after they realize the impact the moments had on them. He also implored young writers to not only read good stories for themselves, but also to go back to those same stories that inspired them and keep digging deeper for meaning in the book and themselves. “You can do good practice for noticing the small and noticing the elusive by reading a lot, but especially re-reading... That is where I find that I practice that search for the metaphorical,” Van Meter said.

Activist speaks on defense of human rights Medina advocates for equal treatment, understanding Jake Vanderbroek Staff Writer news@oswegonian.com Nidiria Ruiz Medina, a Colombian community organizer, educator and women’s peace activist, spoke to students on Oct. 11 about the organizational process that contributes to the defense of territory and human rights. She spread the message that individuals should be equal with one another so each person has a better understanding with one another moving forward. Medina started an association called the AINI Women Foundation of Spring Flowers. Medina said she started the organization because sexism took place in her past and was under government structures. She said she started this movement because women were not seen as being capable of leading movements and/or processes in society and are instead considered “the minority.” “It was pretty cool that she was able to take action for a big issue that is somewhat still occurring today,” Oswego State sophomore Elissa Martinez said. “Not only Nidiria is fighting for herself, but she is fighting for others who were in the same position as she was.” Martinez said she believes people live in a rough world. She

said she knows when people take action and fight for peace and happiness, the world is a much better place.

There are wonderful, intelligent women out in this world, and I believe many of them can make an impact to those right now and in the future.” Elissa Martinez, - Oswego State sophomore

“I think it’s amazing how much one person that stands up for themselves can lead to more and more people following her footsteps and leading to fight for what’s right for human and social rights,” Martinez said. “There are wonderful, intelligent women out in this world, and I believe many of them can make an impact to those right now and in the future.” Just shortly after the movement was issued, it became part of the CONPAZ network or Communities Building Peace in the Territories. The CONPAZ network is all about building and maintaining peace along with other organizations that embrace nonviolence to

defend life, land and dignity. The four words this network follows are justice, truth, reparation and no repetition. They are made up of afro-Colombians, indigenous and mestizos, who live mostly in rural areas, while some are located in urban areas. “There are a total of 160 processes, 14 departments that have a total of 60,000 members in the network,” Medina said. “60 percent of those are either children, adolescents and/or young adults.” Sports and culture have been tools to emphasize discipline and respect for one another, developing peace and sharing with all members to make society a better place to live in, Medina said. Medina said this group has been developing proposals of its own education that has an understanding on how human development works. It goes from its beginning stages through rural peace for children. Medina also pointed out that COMPAZ proposed for peace, which it called The Six Points of Peace Movement. Those points are comprehensive land reform, political participation, bilateral cease fire, solution to the problem of illicit drugs, reparation of victims and endorsement. She said if people follow these six things all around the world, the world would be a better place.

After her opening remarks, Callands welcomed guest speaker and Oswego State associate professor Patricia Clark to the podium. Clark said she was glad people are continuing to bring awareness that sexual assault is still a major issue in the world. She then told historical stories, including the one of Emmett Till, to show a different side to violence, which she said may “complicate our understandings of the residual effects of violence.” She spoke about the #MeToo movement circulating through social media but urged that people remember that, in addition to sexual assault, there can be underlying themes of racism, as seen in the Till case. “The Till-Bryant case was not isolated. Many lynchings of black men were used to cover the abuse of poor white women by white men,” Clark said. Clark then spoke about a more recent instance, where transgender woman LaTeisha Green was murdered in Syracuse in 2008. Her murderer was convicted of a hate crime, but the case was overturned. “I am happy for the #MeToo platform, but I urge you to peer behind the veils of race, gender, poverty and remain vigilant in your quest to take back the night,” Clark said. Oswego State President Deborah Stanley followed Clark’s speech, focusing on her role with Take Back the Night. Stanley said she has been participating for over 30 years on the Oswego State campus. She said she felt it was important to have Take Back the Night with the #MeToo movement growing. She then urged students and faculty to use the phrase, “Take Back the Night,” in a less literal sense. “Everywhere belongs to women. Everywhere belongs to everyone,” she said. “I encourage you to take that analogy out, in a very wide way. I encourage you to think about power and addressing the power that keeps the night dark.” She then said how proud she was of the event, as it was about taking action, and that it is time to demand health and safety for women. “We’re not just standing up tonight. We’re going to stand up everywhere, every day, every night, Stanley said. “When we see injustice, and when we see a need, we are going out there.” Following Stanley’s speech, Oswego State students filed out of the Marano Campus Center, walking toward east campus. Some stu-

dents held signs, others held glow sticks, and some even held each other’s hands, chanting phrases such as, “Claim our bodies, claim our right, take a stand, take back the night” in unison. Some students came to Take Back the Night as part of their organizations. The Asian Student Association (ASA) had members attending together, such as ASA secretary Kridzely Vargas and president Jewel Yeh. “As a victim of sexual assault, I think it’s very important to help other people see that you can walk home at night and feel safe,” Vargas said. “You need to take back the night, exactly.” Other students, including Yeh, said they had similar feelings about the importance of the event on campus. “For me, I had experience with a stalker, so I know what it’s like to be scared of walking at night. Being here and supporting these people, I think it’s a really good thing that the Women’s Center is hosting this,” Yeh said. “It allows people to feel safe and to make them feel as if they have a community here on campus.” The march ended back in Marano Campus Center, where Women’s Center hosted a short discussion for attendees to be able to share their experiences and feelings after the event. The students who shared said that they felt more empowered and unified during and after the march and noted its importance on campus. “This campus is a public campus, so anybody can walk in. You should feel safe for them to walk inside your community,” Vargas said. “This is your community, so you should be able to walk safely here, and it’s important that this event is promoting that.”

Annual salmon migration boosts city, town economy SALMON from COVER “I try to fish there about once a week after classes just to go have fun,” DeMarre said. “I prefer to fish what’s called the High Wall. It’s down off of West First Street, right before the dam.” DeMarre said he was glad he lived in the area because it is very difficult to get a hotel room anywhere from Oswego to Pulaski due to their popularity as a fishing destination. “Pulaski is one of the top international fisheries, and out-of-staters come and stay for days on end,” DeMarre said. While tourists staying for days may not help anyone trying to get a hotel room, it is great news for local businesses and the economy of Oswego overall, Orson said. He said he gets to know his customers fairly well, as they spend the day together fishing and talking. “One young lady brings her friends with her and fishes for a few days,” Orson said. “They will stay at the Best

“I fished Lake Ontario since the 1970s,” Orson said. “And then, when I retired, my son bought a bigger boat and he said, ‘Dad, you’re retired. Let’s go get our captain’s license, and why don’t we charter?’ And we started that in 2005.” Since then, TSI Charters has grown, and Orson is now completing 90 to 100 Charters per season that are comprised of long days that span from 12 to 14 hours each. “I enjoy my time out,” Orson said. “What I do is make videos of each charter and I edit those videos and I send them to the customers. They are complementary videos of your charter.” Orson has a wide variety of customers, from professional fishermen to families just out to fish and spend time together. “With families, it’s ‘catch everything they can’ because they like to see their children, daughters as well as sons, catch fish,” Orson said. For more seasoned fishermen, they may only be interested in king salmon, but while their preference in what they fish may differ, everyone is out on the water for the same reason. “It’s something they [do to] put the work behind them.

Inside Ben’s Brain Club sports deserve recognition too

Ben Grieco Sports Editor bgrieco@oswegonian.com Oswego State athletics has its fans, for sure. In the fall, the fans are plentiful at Laker Turf Stadium for soccer and field hockey. Every weekend during the winter, at least 3,000 of the Oswego State faithful fans cram into the Marano Campus Center Ice Arena to watch the men’s hockey team. During the spring, fans will follow the Lakers’ baseball team and even follow its season all the way to the NCAA Div. III College World Series. There is another large group of athletics on the Oswego State campus that is striving for the same attention the NCAA programs receive. Some of these programs are extremely competitive in their own leagues. Teams like the men’s ACHA hockey team and the men’s rugby squad have shown insane amounts of success in recent history. The men’s club hockey team is a part of the ACHA in Div. I. Despite having the title “club” in its name, the ACHA is one step below the NCAA. Some programs have taken the jump from the ACHA to the NCAA, and vice versa. The Lakers take on programs like Rutgers University, Syracuse University and Niagara University, all of which are considered Div. I in NCAAsanctioned sports. Thirty or 40 people regularly show up to the games. But, with strong games, like the Lakers’ most recent home victory over Mercyhurst University 1-0 during the “Laker Showdown,” fans can enjoy some intense hockey – for free. Now with more funding, the women’s club hockey team also joined the ACHA this season. The women are in Div. II and face strong talent, like the U.S. Naval Academy and the Rochester Institute of Technology. RIT boasts a strong NCAA Div. I program, as well. While the Lakers are still trying to get on their feet and transition into a new league with new coaches, similar to the men’s program, fans can enjoy free, competitive hockey. Better yet, it does not interfere with either of the NCAA teams since they all need the same rink. On the other side of campus at the Hidden Fields, the men’s rugby program has had a tremendous amount of success over the last couple seasons. While the team does stray away from the coveted Laker name, the “Oz Wizards” advanced to the Sweet 16 of their playoffs last season in December 2017. After a loss to the University of Hartford, the Wizards still earned enough attention to advance to Div. I. The season has already begun with free admission and a lot of crunching hits. There are plenty of teams that were not given the attention they deserve in this column - I am sure of it. But, for Oswego State students looking for some free entertainment that is exciting to watch, look no farther than the club teams right on campus.

Lakers look to forget sudden ending during last season

Freshman class, new transfers will be key parts in adding offensive strength Ben Grieco Sports Editor bgrieco@oswegonian.com After nine straight games without a loss, the 2017-2018 Oswego State men’s ice hockey season came to an abrupt halt in the second half of February. While the Lakers registered big wins against conference rivals like SUNY Geneseo and Buffalo State, the team could not continue its success in the final weekend of the regular season. During the whiteout weekend on Feb. 16 and 17, Oswego State did not score a goal against SUNY Potsdam and Plattsburgh State. The lack of triumph followed the Lakers heading into the SUNYAC playoffs. Despite being seeded No. 1 in conference, the team fell to the hands of No. 5 SUNY Fredonia 3-1. With no at-large bid heading into the NCAA Div. III championships, Oswego State’s campaign was over. “We just need to move on from [the last game] and not really focus on that. Stuff’s going to happen,” senior Devin Campbell said. “It’s a long season, and just a couple good games isn’t good enough.” This season, with a strong group of returning players, a depth-filled freshman class and a few notable transfers, the Lakers look to turn the page and hit their season expectations, one of

which is qualifying for home ice in the SUNYAC playoffs. Gosek said is a realistic goal. “…in our league, that’s not an easy task,” Gosek said. “To consistently be in that position, we’ve been very fortunate and we’d like to keep that going.”

You go from Niagara where it’s ‘dress like a seat’ night, and then you come here and you’re playing for 3,000 fans.” Devin Cambell -Oswego State men’s hockey captain

With new leadership this season, which includes Campbell. who was named captain this season, Gosek feels confident in his squad. Campbell, who originally came from Niagara University as a transfer, said he loves the challenge of being captain at Oswego State and cherishes it. Senior Cam Berry and junior Josh Zizek were named the alternate captains. “I remember my first game here

playing at home. You go from Niagara where it’s ‘dress like a seat’ night, and then you come here and you’re playing for 3,000 fans,” Campbell said. “I never would have envisioned in a million years that I’d be the captain.” It is not easy to replace a player like Mitchell Herlihey, who graduated last season and was last year’s team captain. Herlihey was a top player on the team’s special teams units, but Gosek said the team will be able to move on and still be successful. “I think Mitch was a great leader, and a lot of our returners pick up a lot of the little things that he was very good at by showing through video and working in practice,” Gosek said. “We’ll certainly miss him and his leadership. I think [Campbell, Berry and Zizek] will do a great job.” Oswego State brought in nine freshmen this season, which includes three defensemen. The team’s blueline only registered three goals last season. Despite the lack of offensive production from defensemen, the team had the lowest goals against average in team history. The Lakers allowed an average of 1.7 goals per game during last season’s campaign. The defense, along with goaltender David Richer, was in a strong groove, especially after Christmas, Campbell said. “I think we want not only those new guys to come in and give us some pop from the blue line, but also

returning guys,” Campbell said. “Tyler Currie, Max Novick, those guys were really potent in junior, and you can tell that they have the mold to their game to be offensive.” Last season, Gosek started the season with a tandem goalie mindset. Richer and Cedric Hansen alternated games at the beginning of the season. Richer took over in net during the Oswego State Hockey Classic. Richer led the SUNYAC in save percentage and goals against average. While Gosek did not say who would be starting this year, as the choice will be made by the coaching staff throughout the season, but he said he feels confident should Richer take the reins. “I know what I can do. I know what we can do as a team,” Richer said. “I’m pretty excited and I’m ready for it.” Oswego State also added some manpower to the offense, including a couple transfers. Notably, Anthony Passero transferred from SUNYACrival Buffalo State. Derek Brown transferred from Niagara University. “There’s not really a weak spot to [Brown’s] game. He’s just a very good player,” Campbell said. “You may not notice him in a game and then, all of a sudden, look at a stat sheet and see he has a couple points and was definitely involved in the offense.”

Women’s hockey searches for more success in NEWHL Head coach Diane Dillon excited about expansive talent of freshman class

Taylor Woods | The Oswegonian Kate Randazzo, now a junior, will look to bring the Lakers back to the NEWHL championship.

Matt Watling Asst. Sports Editor mwatling@oswegonian.com Despite losing four of its last eight regular season games, the women’s hockey team turned it up when it mattered most, for the playoffs. In the Lakers’ inaugural season in the Northeast Women’s Hockey Conference, Oswego State

reached the conference championship. The Lakers defeated the Buffalo State Bengals 5-0 in the semifinals just before they lost to Plattsburgh State 6-0. Even though they were shrugged off by the Cardinals in the finals, the Lakers should be proud of their effort. Plattsburgh State is a historically great program that went 15-0-1 in NEWHL and reached the semi-

finals of the NCAA Div. III Frozen Four. Heading into this season, the Lakers will be without several key players who graduated, including the program’s leading scorer Olivia Ellis, her linemate Andrea Noss and NEWHL goalie of the year Mariah Madrigal. Despite the loss of their star goalie, who was an alternate captain, the team is confident in their back end. “Looking at our preseason, our goaltending will be strong, and then we will have to work our way out from there,” junior forward Eryn Stewart said. “The most important [thing] is keeping goals out of the net.” The Lakers bring back a majority of their starters on defense, as the lone defender that graduated was Victoria Blake. This consistency from year to year is integral to a fast start, given the chemistry they built over the last season. The key returner is junior Kate Randazzo, who can play on both sides of the ice. She led the team in plus/minus last year and proved she can keep the puck out of her own net. In the offensive zone, Randazzo was second on the team in points with 19 in 27 games played. With Randazzo leading some underclassmen like sophomore Philom-

ena Teggart, who was fifth on the team in blocks last year, this is a defense that could improve on its play from last season and even decrease the 35 goals it gave up in 15 conference games last season. While the Lakers’ defense has been solidified by the three new goalies they added to the roster, Oswego State has some question marks when it comes to scoring goals. With the departures of six seniors, the Lakers lost over 40 percent, 25 goals, out of their offensive production from last season. While it is futile to rely on a freshman class right out of the gate, Dillon has hope for the class of 10 freshmen that joined the team. They all bring a different skill set, from size to speed, and, most importantly, a lot of hockey smarts. “[They are] a very eclectic class. We brought in some size. We’ve been pushed around a bit. We brought in some bigger kids with nice long sticks to cover up some ice,” Dillon said. “We brought in some speed and hockey talent and definitely some hockey IQ. It is going to be interesting to see how they mesh together, but all of the freshmen are very talented in their own right.”

SPORTS Women’s tennis’ tough fall ends on high note Coach Evans confident in his ‘talented,’ hardworking team

Jake Vanderbroek Staff Writer sports@oswegonian.com The Oswego State women’s tennis team closed its season with a win over the Utica College Pioneers last Sunday as it took all nine sets in the contest. Bridget Bender, Haru Kobayashi and Samantha Spence each blanked their opponents in singles. Lorrayne Broach won her first set in a tight one and then cruised away with a four-game victory in a decisive set. Eliza Johnson took care of her business in the fourth singles match, allowing four games against her opponent, Christa Pham. “I felt very relaxed out there,” Bender said. “Throughout most of my match, I kept my composure, and once I figured my opponent’s strategy on where she was hitting the ball, I just start coming out in attack mode and test her back hand. Once I saw that was working, I was doing that until she was able to make [the necessary] adjustments.” With this win, Oswego State finishes the season with an overall record of 4-7, including two wins in the SUNYAC. The losing

record and only two wins in conference play was not enough for the Lakers to advance into the SUNYAC playoffs. The Lakers started off 1-1, as they lost close matchup to Elmira College that came down to the final set point of the match and swept Elmira in all nine sets in that contest. The Lakers would then struggle in the mid-way point, losing six straight matches. Five of those matchups were against SUNYAC teams, which included SUNY Geneseo, SUNY Oneonta, SUNY New Paltz, Plattsburgh State and SUNY Fredonia. “It’s unfortunate that we weren’t able to win a lot of matches in our conference,” head coach Shane Evans said. “We’re a team that has a lot of talent and heart, but we were just unable to finish matches. Even though it looks like in some of our matches we got swept, but a lot of those matches had to come down to the final set for some of our players.” One of those players was Broach, who has been leading the charge for the Lakers. “It’s tough, but I’m proud of our girls for what they’ve been doing,” Broach said. “Day in and day out, these girls work very hard, and

they always strive to reach their potential. That’s all you can really ask for.” The Lakers will now rest up for the spring. They are currently back on the court for nontraditional games. All these games will not count for Oswego State or on Shane Evans’ résumé, but it is a good way to get ready for the 2019 season. “I still have a lot of trust in our team moving forward,” Evans said. “I believe we’re going to see a better team in the springtime and we’re going to make a lot of noise. Even though the games don’t count, it will set the tone for the 2019 season.” From a player’s standpoint, the best thing to do in the offseason is just keep grinding. “In the winter, we’re going to have to bond with one another and push ourselves,” Broach said. “When we have the opportunity to work out and get some swings in the field house, we’re going to be taking advantage of that as much as possible. That is what is going to make us a better team.” The nontraditional schedule has not been released yet for the Lakers, but they will be back on the court starting in March.

Campus Rec Report: playoffs arrive

Intramural soccer, flag football, softball nearing end of season

Photo provided by Campus Rec The men’s competitive softball champions, The Lakeside Commonfolk, secured their champion T-shirts.

Morgan Meaney Contributing Writer sports@oswegonian.com It is playoff season here at Campus Recreation. The outdoor leagues are starting to wind down with some of our most competitive games yet. Teams are fighting for their place in the championship and for the coveted Intramural Champion T-shirt. This is the final week of competitive play for the first round of intramural leagues, with the final games on both Friday and Saturday this weekend. CoRec recreational soccer has its championship game on Friday, Oct. 12 at 3:30 p.m. at Lee Field. With many exciting games this week, this will be one to watch. Despite getting out to an early start with a victory against Rooney Toons (3-0), 2 Goals 1 Cup fell to Lets Get Messi in a close game of 1-0. With that loss, 2 Goals 1 Cup was eliminated from the playoffs, and Lets Get Messi secured a spot in the final game. Playing them in the finals will be Kick my Balls,

who secured their spot after a 5-1 victory against Off Sliders II (5-1). Kick My Balls and Lets Get Messi have been first and second in the league all season, with matching records of 4-1 over the course of the soccer season, creating a fiery match-up for the CoRec recreational finals. In the men’s competitive league, the championship game will be played on Friday, Oct. 12 at 4:30 p.m. at Lee Field. Scrambled Legz have already secured their spot in the finals with two wins this past week. Their first win to advance to the semi-finals was against Real Saucy in a final score of 2-0. The win that landed them in the finals was their victory over 1926ers in the same final score of 2-0. On the other side of the bracket, Tequila Mockingbird and Oxford United battled for the spot opposite Scrambled Legz. The match ended after one round of penalty kick with Tequila Mockingbird defeating Oxford United 3-2. Tequila Mockingbird will face Scrambled Legz in the championship game.

The flag football league will also be ending this upcoming weekend. Our men’s recreational champion was crowned this past Saturday. After a hard double-header on Friday against the Shanghai Warriors (27-25) and Krispy tenders (21-20), the Hell hounds forfeited to Sheesh! on Saturday afternoon, allowing Sheesh! to play in the men’s competitive semi-finals. Sheesh! captured their final victory by defeating E (31-12). With Krispy tenders, E and Sheesh! all being tied for first the entire season, it is safe to say that the playoffs will be entertaining. With the championship game in the Men’s Competitive 7v7 on Saturday, Oct. 13 at 3:30p.m. on Lee Field, teams appeared fierce during the final week before the final game. Townies have had a lucky break this playoff season, as they have advanced to the semifinals through two forfeits. Now in the semi-finals, their matchup with FumbleThis is long-awaited. The game will be right before the championships at 2:00 p.m. on Oct. 13 at Swetman Field. The other position in the championship game will be filled by either our men’s recreational champion. The games are bound to be exciting, as both semi-final games are played right before the championship. We had one final softball game this past weekend. In one of the most competitive softball games to date, in the men’s competitive league, The Lakeside Commonfolk took home the coveted shirts with a 14-13 victory in the championship game to The Bueller Boys. Championship season is upon us, and with three champions already crowned, Campus Recreation cannot wait to celebrate the final victors as they emerge this coming week.

Photo Brief Men’s tennis ends fall season

Greg Tavani | The Oswegonian

The fall portion of the men’s tennis schedule ended Friday, Oct. 5 with a 6-3 loss to Houghton College. The Lakers played just two matches in three weeks after their second scheduled competition was postponed due to rain. The Lakers were set to play the 0-2 Daemen College Wildcats, who lost matches to Merrimack College and Southern New Hampshire University. In the Lakers’ first match, they defeated Elmira College 9-0 at the Romney Field House. Oswego State was led by freshman Vlad Djuraskovic, its number-one singles player and one half of its number-one doubles. In singles play, the Belgrade, Serbia, native did not lose a single game, dominating Stephen Gervase 6-0, 6-0. Alongside his partner Brian Emigholz, the Lakers’ top doubles team defeated Elmira College’s by a score of 8-2. In the nine games, the Lakers won all but one set. That lone loss came in a tiebreaker between Oswego State’s Anthony Salerno and Elmira College’s Curtis Harris. Harris edged out the Laker by a score of 7-5 in the tie-breaker. Despite the win, the Lakers had some struggles in

their final competition of the fall. The Houghton College Highlanders’ only contest so far came against the Lakers. Despite the narrow score, Houghton College handled Oswego State with ease. In three of their four singles wins, the Highlanders lost no more than two games per set. Arguably their biggest win came in the first singles, as Jake Fisler beat Djuraskovic 4-6, 6-2, 10-4. The two played a great contest; however, the win set the tone for the rest of the match. The Lakers will need to wait more than five months to avenge their loss, as tennis will take the winter season off. Their next match is set for March 31 against the Utica College Pioneers. The Lakers will need to wait more than five months to avenge their loss as tennis will take the winter season off. Their next match is set for March 31 against the Utica College Pioneers. Oswego State is independent, meaning it does not belong to any conference; however, it will face some familiar teams. The Lakers face SUNY Oneonta twice this spring and will host Daemen College after their first matchup was rained out.

Hockey begins

The hockey season is officially underway, as both the men and women hosted local media for their annual season opening press conference on Monday, Oct. 8. Coach Ed Gosek announced his captains for the 2018-19 campaign with Devin Campbell donning the “C” and named Josh Zizek and Cameron Berry as the alternates. The Lakers are looking to move on from former captain, Mitch Herlihey, who graduated last May and was second on the team in points last season with 30 points. The Lakers added 12 new faces, including three transfers. One of these, Derek Brown, played Div. I hockey for Niagara University. Last year, Oswego State went into white out weekend undefeated and seemed destined to make a run in the NCAA Div. III Championship, but they lost to SUNY Potsdam and Plattsburgh State 1-0. After their first round bye, the Lakers lost to SUNY Fredonia and did not receive an at-large bid for the National Championships. On the women’s side, the Lak-

ers expressed their excitement for the season despite losing the top scorer in franchise history, Olivia Ellis. Ellis has the most goals (43), assists (66) and points (109) in the program’s history. Coach Diane Dillon expects her sophomores to step up, as they have already adjusted to college life in comparison to their freshmen year. Oswego State welcomes in 12 new players, 10 freshmen and two transfers, most notably Rachael Farmer, the goaltender formerly from SUNY Cortland. Farmer put up solid numbers in her two seasons with the Red Dragons. Last season, the Lakers defeated the Buffalo State Bengals in the NEWHL semi-finals by a score of 5-0. That placed them in the finals against one of the best teams in the nation, Plattsburgh State. The Cardinals handled the Lakers with ease defeating them 6-0. Despite disappointing finishes to their seasons, both the men’s and women’s hockey teams have a ton of hope for the upcoming 201819 campaign.

B B33 SPORTS Second-year Lakers to play End of regular season looms for men’s soccer integral role in team’s success Lakers have 4 conference matchups left to try to make SUNYACs THE OSWEGONIAN FRIDAY, Oct.12, 2018

SOPHOMORE from B1 Oswego State needs to rely on this season’s sophomore and junior classes, who made up 14 of the team’s 23 players. The 2018 sophomore class started off pretty slow last season. One of the top players of that class is forward Jean-Marie Padden, who ended the season fifth in points despite scoring just three in the first 10 games of the season. With a full season of collegiate hockey under their belts, Dillon demands her sophomores to step up and contribute right away. “They are expected to hit the ground running,” Dillon said. “Freshman year is always an adventure, academically as well as athletically, so you have to get your feet wet. Now, when you come back as a sophomore, you are expected to contribute immediately…We don’t want to hear about [the sophomore slump]…Their expectation is they’re going to prepare, perform and bring it every game.” Toward the end of Monday’s season-opening press conference, Dillon made her expectations for the season known. “Postseason play…we took a hard road to get there last year, but we got there and made it to the championship game for the first time. Anything short of that will be, in my opinion. not where we want to be,” Dillon said. “Our goal is to get back to that game, and we want to get to the NCAA tourna-

ment, plain and simple.” Reaching the conference finals is certainly a difficult task for any team, especially in the NEWHL, considering the fact that the nationally ranked Plattsburgh State Cardinals’ spot is nearly reserved every year. However, the Lakers are primed to return to the finals as long as they can obtain the second or third seed in the NEWHL. Regardless of the other teams in the conference, it all depends on the Lakers. They need to find some consistent offense this season, something that was lacking at some points last season. In fact, they had a five-game stretch in which they scored just two goals. Heading into the season, it is anticipated that players like Leah Czerwinski and Teggart are going to produce more offensively, jumping up from six and eight points, respectively, to a top-five point producer on this team. If those two can reach double digits in terms of points, it would take a lot of pressure off the top producers from last season. The Lakers return three of their top five point scorers and six of their top 10. It is feasible to see Padden and even her classmate Emma Morisette score at a point per game clip, replacing Ellis’ 25 points in 26 games. With a defense that is extremely confident in its goaltending and in its own end, once the Lakers can find their offense, they should have no problem reaching the NEWHL conference finals and potentially get closer to the Plattsburgh State Cardinals.

Taylor Woods | The Oswegonian With Oswego State’s strong defense, the team’s chances of making the playoffs are strong.

Taylor Woods Staff Writer sports@oswegonian.com With the end of the season coming up, the Oswego State men’s soccer team is hoping these last four SUNYAC games will get it a spot in the playoffs. “We have four games left. All of them are winnable,” said Thomas Osborn, captain and defender on the team. “If we win I think even just two, maybe pull a point from the other two games, I think we’re absolutely going to make playoffs.” Oswego State was on a five-game losing streak before its win against SUNY Potsdam, but Oswego State men’s soccer head coach Dan Kane does not think it was because of how the team played, but who they played against. “It’s one of the top conferences in the country,” Kane said. “We played three regionally ranked teams - Cortland, New Paltz, Oneonta. We didn’t have results that we wanted, but we had a lot of good play in there, and now, we’re just cleaning up some of our mistakes, and our attacking players are starting to hit their form, so we’re excited about the remaining SUNYAC games.” With Oswego State being scored on eight times in its games against SUNY Cortland and SUNY New Paltz, SUNY Cortland being nationally ranked, goaltender Brian Terra is just trying to stay focused on these upcoming games. “[I am] doing what I need to do off the field and just staying focused for these games,” Terra said. “We’re going at it as hard as we can and we know what we need to make it, so we’re just going to go out firing and take it from there.” Terra was recently named Men’s Soccer Defensive Athlete of the Week, but he said that has not made him lose focus on his team or the games coming up. “It’s something good to get, but I’m just focused on the team, and that’s a self-accomplishment, which I’m not too worried or focused about,” Terra said. “I’m just trying to get out there

every day and practice hard and win these last four games.” Playing some of the top teams in the country can be difficult, and when you lose to the, it can hurt the confidence of them team. For Kane, he knew there would be tough games. “It’s a difficult thing when you lose, and we didn’t feel like we were playing that poorly,” Kane said. “We were playing against some top teams in the country, so for us, I knew that we might take some lumps there, but it’s just a matter of staying confident and believing in what we’re doing.” With the win against SUNY Potsdam coming after that losing streak, it gave the team a boost for these last four SUNYAC games. “It definitely helps the morale when you get a good win like that,” Osborn said. Oswego State is going to have to keep that morale, considering it will be playing against The College at Brockport in one of these four games. The College at Brockport’s current overall record is 10-2, and its conference record is 4-0-2. Even with this record, Oswego State seems to be

ready to take on any team right now. “We’re playing the best soccer we have all year,” Kane said. “We’re playing teams that are good, but certainly, we control our own destiny. We feel like we’re going to take care of business and get on a little streak here.” With most of the struggle from Oswego State coming from conference games, Kane is focusing on eliminating small mistakes that could help them control these last few games. “It’s really simple things,” Kane said. “Just making sure we’re hitting our clears, making sure that we’re defending well 1v1 and collectively, limiting fouls and just believing in ourselves and our teammates.” Last season, Oswego State lost to these last four teams but is hoping to flip the script and get the revenge it is looking for. “I think it motivates us. We lost to Potsdam last year, and our guys were motivated to put on a good result and so these next four games,” Kane said. “I think the guys, they want revenge and they want in on the playoffs, and if that’s what they want, they’ll go get it.”

Campbell uses experience to help transfers excel TRANSFERS from B1 Campbell also played for the Purple Eagles, a NCAA Div. I program. The two knew each other and now live together at Oswego State. The third transfer, Josh Nenadal, also played for a Div. I program – Lake Superior State University. Campbell has firsthand experience as a transfer, and he admitted that it is rough coming to a new school. However, Oswego State’s environment has made it easy for not only him, but the three new transfers, as well. “Sometimes, it’s hard to check your ego. Coming from a [Div. I] school, you maybe think you’re dropping down a level,” Campbell said. “But those guys have been the best teammates and just the best guys in the room. They made my job easier, for sure.” Even though Gosek accomplished 300 wins last season, nothing came to mind when talking about milestones for this year. However, the new hall of fame in the Marano Campus Center Ice Arena for men’s ice hockey is offi-

cially opening this season on Oct. 20. Gosek said the area brings a new sense of pride and culture for the team. “There’s eight trophies in there. It looks so simple,” Gosek said “I think about all of the players and the amount of commitment and the amount of work by the players and the staff that went into the semifinal and championship trophies. Then, it seems overwhelming to me.” With the official start of practices on Oct. 8, the team has two weeks to practice before the rink opens up for the start of the team’s games and its 3,000 fans. The Lakers will begin with an exhibition game on Oct. 20 against Nazareth College. The team has two weeks before the official season begins. With the depth of this team, Gosek and the rest of his staff will have their hands full when selecting the lineup for the rest of the season. “It’s going to be extremely competitive. There will be a lot of battles during the week,” Gosek said. “I’m sure there will be many players capable of being in the lineup. At the end of the day, we’ll do what we feel is best.”

Kyle Hurley | The Oswegonian The Lakers will have two exhibition games this year to prepare for the regular season on Nov. 2.

PLA: 10-5 (3-4) FRE: 12-3 (4-3)

The Fairport native had an excellent end to the women’s tennis season. Spence went 4-0, contributing key wins to help the Lakers defeat SUNY Cortland. Against the Red Dragons, she won her singles match against Tina Wertman 6-3, 6-4. This was a crucial victory, as the Lakers defeated the Red Dragons narrowly by a score of 5-4. She also won her doubles match with her partner Bridget Bender by a score of 8-4.

The junior transfer is a key contributor the Lakers this season. Despite starting in only three games, he is eighth on the team in minutes played with 604. In the team’s lone conference win, Paris scored the game-winning goal as the Lakers defeated SUNY Potsdam 1-0. Paris received a cross from Jack Van Pelt, and Paris nudged the ball into the corner of the net in the fourth minute.

Both the men’s and women’s soccer teams have scored just three goals in their five conference games. Even though they have not produced a goal per game, each team has one win in SUNYAC games. Both those wins were 1-0 victories, as the defense and goaltending for each team was very strong.

Despite struggles during the season, the women’s tennis team ended its season on a high note. The Lakers defeated Utica College by a score of 9-0. The team was led by Bridget Bender, Haru Kobayashi and Samantha Spence, who all won their singles competitions 6-0, 6-0.

The men’s hockey team will welcome 12 new faces to the team this season. These new players come from all corners of North America, as far as Alaska. Perhaps the most notable player is Derek Brown, who played at Div. I Niagara University for two seasons. The winger scored 18 points in 66 games.

Not all ex-cons should get a second chance

Alexis Hanna Staff Writer opinion@oswegonian.com One of the most controversial discussions in America is, or should be, ex-convict injustices. Ex-convicts have easily faced one of the hardest comebacks in America. From being convicted to going to jail, it is extremely hard to get your life back on track. Most jobs will look past an ex-convict’s application or give them a harder interview process for the simple fact that they are convicts, no matter how miniscule the charge. Throughout the country, thousands of people are refused employment or denied an interview based on checkingn a box. Although it is reasonable for a business to deny employment to violent criminals, many people have criminal records for non-violent offenses. For many, the criminal justice system offers people a chance for change, and this may not be the case for some, but each case is independent. It is unfair for all ex-convicts to be placed in the same category. Asking about past criminal records can be controversial because some cases of conviction should not be life-ending and possibility-deferring. People in jail as a result of drug possession, marijuana possession/use or involuntary manslaughter should not be stripped of their chances of re-doing their lives after jail time has been served. Non-violent or accidental criminal charges are unlikely to affect others’ lives and should not haunt those convicted after they have done their time. Jail time is essentially supposed to be criminals’ redemption and consequence, hence, “can’t do the time, don’t do the crime.” Some crimes are only deserving of that consequence and nothing more, meaning they should be granted a chance to start over or at least fix their already messy lives.

For many, the criminal justice system offers people a chance for change, and this may not be the case for some, but each case is independent. However, while some criminals should be granted forgiveness and given chances at new lives, others absolutely do not. Criminals who have ruined others’ lives should not be given chances to start over. Their victims do not receive the same chance, so why should they? Criminals who have been found guilty of crimes such as murder, rape or child pornography do not deserve new chances at life. They should not be given redemption nor forgiveness for their actions, as they have ruined the lives of others. The only redemption any victims of rape get is their rapists going to jail. The families of those murdered will never fully recover and will resent whoever lets their loved ones murderer out. Criminals who have cost others’ their lives should not get new passes at life. This being said, the “criminal record” box on applications should not be removed. It should not always affect one’s ability at employment and should perhaps be further on in the application process and/or be much more detailed. Criminals who are convicted of minimal crimes should be able to start over. Criminals who have cost others their lives should not have that chance.

Video games allow gambling Children get exposed to addiction under noses of parents Francesca Miesner Opinion Editor fmiesner@oswegonian.com Video gaming is a hobby that is widely loved and accessible. Some games, however, are intended for mature audiences, whether it be for violence, like “Grand Theft Auto V,” sexual themes, like “Detroit: Become Human” or in-game purchases and gambling, such as “Overwatch.” There are many different kinds of in-game purchases that can bring additional content to a game. The first is called “pay-to-win.” With this type of purchase, players spend real dollars to buy content in-game that can greatly aid in, usually, multiplayer games. For example, in “ABP Reloaded,” players purchase weapons that give them an upper hand, making it virtually impossible for someone who did not spend the money to beat someone who did spend money. The second kind of in-game purchase is called downloadable content (DLC). DLC is usually available for purchase distantly following the game’s release and adds additional missions or story. Expansive roleplaying games use these often, such as “The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim” and “Dragon Age: Inquisition.” The game itself is expensive, and when paired with the DLC, it can amount to double the cost of the original game. The last case of in-game purchases is “the loot box system.” With this system, players purchase content in real life to benefit them in-game, but what makes this case dangerous is

that players do not know what they are getting. In these games, players open a loot box, oftentimes an actual box. What comes out of the box is a complete gamble. “FIFA 2K19” and “Plants vs Zombies” both have a loot box system, where the purchase of the boxes gives players a chance to unlock power-ups or new characters, which in turn makes players have an extreme advantage in game. In other games, such as in “Overwatch,” the loot boxes do not provide any actual advantage in-game. Rather, it makes the characters have different “skins,” like outfits or aesthetics. Purchasing loot boxes with realworld currency is a form of gambling. In the cases of DLC and payto-win, players know what they are getting, while loot boxes are a luck of the draw. In New York state, the legal gambling age is between 18 and 21. However, “Overwatch” is rated by

the Entertainment Software Rating Board as “T for teen,” which is described as ages 13 and older. A game that has access to gambling should not be targeted toward children who are not old enough to gamble, especially since children who become addicted to the free loot boxes that the game provides could easily gain access to credit cards without the parent’s consent. The easy solution would be to remove the loot box system from games in general, but Blizzard made around $2 billion on microtransactions alone last year. Game companies will not let the moneymaking system go away without a fight. Therefore, the ESRB needs to step in and rate games that offer these micro-transactions as “M for mature” so children are not exposed to inappropriate content or start forming bad habits when they are young.

Laptops not effective for note-taking Technology in class can be distracting for students, peers Samantha Flavell Editor-In-Chief sflavell@oswegonian.com While technology has become very prevalent in society and is very useful, it does not belong in the traditional classroom. There are always exceptions to the rules. In some classes, such as media-based courses, laptops and cellphones are a requirement for the class, and their use is unavoidable. However, for the majority of classes, there should be an overarching “no laptop” rule. Many students will argue that they take better notes on their laptops. This is just an attempt at a justified reason for them to have it out. If one were to stand in the back of a lecture class and take a look around, they would see a lot of things on students’ screens, a minority of which will be the lecture notes. In classes, students shop, play video games, text and do work for other classes. Not only is this rude to the professor who is trying to teach a class, but it is also distracting to students around them who become more interested in what is on the screen than what the professor is saying. Without even taking anyone else into consideration, students pay a large sum of money to attend these college classes. If you go to class and play around on your computer or phone the whole time, you are only wasting your time and money by missing out on the valuable information the professor is trying to convey. Even if you are paying attention and following along to the digi-

tal lecture or taking notes on your laptop, you are still doing yourself a disservice. According to a study conducted by Sage Journals, it is scientifically proven that you retain more information when you physically write it down. When you handwrite notes, not only are you hearing the words as your professor speaks, and possibly seeing the notes on the screen, but you are also going through the motion of forming the words yourself. This way, it is using three of your senses, and you will be far more likely to remember what you are learning. The same cannot be said for typing. While it is true that you are touching the keys, hitting a button is not the same as forming the words yourself, as you do through handwriting. It just makes more sense for there

to be a “no laptop” rule for the traditional classroom. Overall, it would be doing a favor to students. It reduces the opportunity for distractions for the students who are trying to learn, as well as the professor who is trying to teach and may be distracted by students with faces buried in their screens. This will also give students the opportunity to practice the most effective form of notetaking through the lost art of handwriting. While this is not a policy that is generally taken well by students, overall, the benefits outweigh the negatives. Even those with the certainty that they take better notes on a computer may find themselves pleasantly surprised if they give handwriting a chance and really focus on what they write without the distraction of technology.

Jake Paul focus of documentary

Photo from Shane Dawson via YouTube

Alexis Santos Staff Writer opinion@oswegonian.com YouTuber Shane Dawson has found astounding success in his new documentary series, “The Mind of Jake Paul.” The eight-part series delves into the life and mind of 21-year-old YouTuber Jake Paul. Paul is one of the most controversial social media influencers, and it is pretty easy as an outsider to dislike him. He is the CEO of Team 10, which is a group of young kids that live in the same house and produce cringe-inducing content for social media. Ever since Team 10 became popular, Jake has been involved in a multitude of online disputes and has done his part to ensure anyone rational over the age of 8 years old finds his character and content absolutely vile. So, when Dawson, a YouTube vet who is relatively well accepted on social media, announced that Paul would be the subject of his next YouTube documentary, people were skeptical as to how tolerable the series would be. People did not want this series to have a redemption arc that paints Paul to be this misunderstood victim. Initially, people were more interested in the concept of the documentary, rather than the subject, because a majority of YouTube’s content right now is shallow, one-dimensional and overdone. Shane’s documentary is refreshing with its production value and creativity. The reason people are tuning in is because it is innovative. However, Dawson is facing a myriad of critics who are saying the way in which he is choosing to produce the series is negatively influencing the way his audience may view mental illness. The first couple of episodes appeared as if Dawson was trying to suggest Paul’s erratic behavior could be the result of him being a sociopath. This is a very intense claim to make about anyone without being a medical professional and to make the accusation with millions of impressionable viewers watching is largely insensitive. But the main problem for a lot of people is the way Shane has decided to portray what it means to be a sociopath. At one point in the video, Dawson is speaking to a psychiatrist about the characteristics of a sociopath. While they speak, ominous music plays in the background and the video cuts to clips of eerie stock footage, which could potentially manipulate the audience’s perceptions. The backlash is not reflected in the like-to-dislike ratio, with the first video having 1.4 million likes and only 28,000 dislikes. So, despite the criticism, a lot of people seem to have a very strange interest in this 21-year-old man, considering every video has been exceeding 10 million views. Whether people are watching to reaffirm their hatred for Paul or because they have a genuine curiosity as to how he lives his life, there is no denying Dawson has done a wonderful job of putting together his findings. He is dramatic in his delivery, but that has always been his style. He is exuberant and a little over the top, but that is why he has found so much success in the series. We all have tendencies to demonize concepts we do not entirely understand, and that is what happened here. He took the concept of sociopaths not having any feelings or remorse and used that to try to give the storyline a creepy theme, which is what creators do. They know how their viewers want to receive their content, and they capitalize off it. Overall, Dawson is doing a decent job of presenting someone as disliked as Paul in a humane way. It is obvious he wants to give the kid the benefit of the doubt, and ultimately the goal of the documentary is to show how Paul behaves behind the cameras, whether he is a sociopath or not. There are three more parts to the series, which will be posted on YouTube throughout the next two weeks.

STAFF EDITORIAL

When innocent people are killed because of a failure to abide by safety laws and measures, there is a major issue. On Oct. 6, there was a deadly limousine crash in Schoharie, New York, that left the driver, all 17 passengers and two pedestrians dead at the scene. The worst part… all of this could have been avoided. As police began to investigate, it was discovered that the limousine on Sept. 4 had failed a safety inspection with six violations. One of the violations included ABS malfunction indicators for the hydraulic brake system, the brake system that failed and set the limo careening into traffic and caused the loss of life for 20 people. The limo was carrying a group of adults who had tried to make the responsible decision and hire a limo to

drive them for a wine tour. This was a driver who was just clocking in for another day. The two pedestrians were going to the Apple Barrel Café to enjoy a meal with their friends and family. All these people had their lives ripped away from them, and now, their families are left with holes in their hearts over the loss of their loved ones. The Albany-based Prestige Limo operates with a mere three vehicles and two drivers. Over the last two years, the vehicles were ordered off the road four times by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. Last month, two of their vehicles failed inspection. They have an off-the-road rate of 80 percent, which is four times the national average. There is no reason why this company was allowed to

continue running. Its negligence led to the worst motor vehicle accident in more than 10 years. A tragedy like this is always horrible, but this is only magnified when it could have all been so easily prevented. There is nothing that can be done to end the hurt the families, community and country as a whole are feeling over this tragedy. It cannot be erased and it will not be forgotten, but it can be used to make the world a little safer. The community has come together to raise over $250,000 for the children who lost both of their parents in the crash to help provide for their schooling costs. No one should die from a transportation company’s failure to abide by inspection laws. No corners should be cut. It could cost someone else’s life.

Social media not convenient for introverts Technology causes millennials unnecessary anxieties

The modern age is known for technology having created an immeasurable access to people. Anyone can call, text, video chat or email almost everyone else and can reasonably expect the person being contacted will see that message in mere moments. Brands and advertisers can see search histories, locations, buying habits and many other data points on anyone with a smartphone and any account with major websites. This level of access, from friends, family and business contacts, as well as the personal information subject to scrutiny by corporations and businesses, can lead to a high level of stress and anxiety. Read receipts, if left on, can be points of contention between friends. Being “left on read” is a common gripe from people trying to get someone else’s attention through text, but nobody ever rationalizes why they were left on read without an answer.

Alexander Gault-Plate Managing Editor aplate@oswegonian.com Here is something important to remember: Nobody is owed a response when it comes to social relationships. If someone decides to ask an uncomfortable question or make a statement that could change the nature of the relationship altogether, it is totally acceptable for the receiver of that message to wait, ignore or otherwise not engage with the message. Study after study can be cited to show that as technological integra-

tion in everyday life has increased, so too have people shown increased anxiety, stress and social isolation. Much of this must be attributed to the fact that the average person spends so much of their day interacting with people through their smartphones. Social fatigue is something introverts have been aware of for as long as society has existed, but now, it seems that everyone is experiencing social fatigue to some degree. It is important to remember, though, that while it may not necessarily be required to answer every message, ignoring every one or simply not interacting with friends online can be just as annoying to the senders as those who receive them. Sometimes, answering a text or a Snapchat can help foster communication and connection. It is important to balance that potential for connection with the very real effects when technology-based communication is overdone.

Venom provides another dud for superhero genre Sony proves incapable of making cinematic universes once again

Ansel E lgo has bee rt n cast as the lea d for Steven Spielberg’s u pc ing “ We o mst Wide S tor remake. y”

Image from Sony Pictures Entertainment via YouTube Tom Hardy portrays Eddie Brock, a reporter who finds himself possessed by a symbiote that turns him into an antihero in Sony’s new “Venom.”

Garrick Groover Staff Writer laker@oswegonian.com After a five-year hiatus, Ruben Fleischer (“Gangster Squad”) returns to the director’s chair to deliver “Venom,” the first installment in Sony’s next attempt at a universe. A “Venom” film has been in the works for more than a decade, after the disappointing representation of the character in 2007’s “Spider-Man 3.” Fans were hopeful that this 2018 film would bring justice to the popular SpiderMan antagonist. Anticipation grew when promotional materials guaranteed a Venom that was bigger, badder and more accurate toward its source material. Eyebrows were raised, however, when “Venom” was announced to be outside of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This meant no chance of seeing Tom Holland (“Avengers: Infinity War”) appearing as the iconic Spider-Man. The film’s PG-13 rating also cast doubt on the project, as it seemed to contradict the character’s violent tendencies. At the end of the day, “Venom” is an entertain-

ing romp held back by extensive issues and problems. Our main hero is Eddie Brock (Tom Hardy, “The Revenant”), a down-on-his-luck investigative journalist who becomes attached to an extraterrestrial symbiote after becoming embroiled with a corporate conspiracy. In terms of performance, Hardy is commendable as the constantly stressed and awkward Brock. His dynamic with the alien symbiote is the central highlight of the film, as the banter between Brock and the amorphous goop elicit the most laughs in the 112-minute picture. The same cannot be said for the supporting cast, which includes Michelle Williams (“I Feel Pretty”) as Brock’s exgirlfriend, Riz Ahmed (“Rogue One: A Star Wars Story”) as the film’s Machiavellian antagonist and Jenny Slate (“Hotel Artemis”) as a whistleblowing scientist. Bluntly, all three performances are either too dull or more uninteresting than a Ken Burns documentary on traffic signs. Imagine this: Hardy harbors better chemistry with a sentient CGI ink blob than he does with his own girlfriend.

Ahmed’s Drake character is the obvious corporate baddie viewers have seen over and over again. It is cliché at this point to criticize the villains in Marvel films, but after seeing Thanos in “The Avengers: Infinity War” and Killmonger in “Black Panther,” Carlton Drake is more easily dismissible than a rabbit in a snowstorm. Despite the disappointing use of its supporting cast, “Venom” does shine when it comes to action sequences. Witnessing Venom annihilate an entire room of henchmen is a sight to behold as the symbiote acts on its own accord. This unpredictability ensures activity that remains fresh and exciting, as the audience and Brock himself have no idea of the symbiote’s next plan of action. The appearance of Venom is also impressive and will please comic book readers from far and wide. Unlike “Spider-Man 3’s” Venom, the monster here is a looming terror that will not hesitate to bite heads off. Despite this, it is a shame that “Venom” is stunted by its measly PG-13 rating. “Deadpool” and “Logan” have proven

that R-rated superhero films can be financially successful and enjoy critical and audience satisfaction. Venom is a character that warrants an R-rating. It would have also solved the film’s problems regarding choppy editing and safe kills. The utilization of the Venom symbiote may be cool, but everything is played too safe. Venom bites the heads off numerous goons for sure, but the payoff is either a quick cut or a body promptly tossed in the shadows. For a character that looks like it can tear people to shreds, paper is likely to cut more than a strike by Venom. In short, the action is creatively impressive, but it is neutered by MPAA guidelines. “Venom” is far from a bad film. The relationship between Brock and the symbiote is the highlight, and the action, while toned down, offers unique creativity. “Venom” is already dividing audiences and critics for good reason. It is not a complete train wreck, but the film does have a lot of untapped potential. Those who want a fun night at the movies should definitely check out “Venom.” Just do not expect anything groundbreaking.

20th Centur y Fox is supposedly set to release a PG13 cut of “Deadpool 2” at Christmas, as well as shuffling aro und several release dates yet again, as “Dark Phoenix” is now set to open in June 2019.

Bradley Cooper, Lady Gaga hit home run with ‘A Star is Born’ Dominic Rizzi Laker Review Editor drizzi@oswegonian.com

The horses are off and running, and the race has officially begun. Jackson Maine (Bradley Cooper, “The Avengers: Infinity War”) is a rock star who sells out stadiums but doubles as an alcoholic and drug addict with tinnitus. After one of his shows, he wanders into a drag bar where he sees Ally (Lady Gaga), a waitress with an incredible voice who has been looked over by every major studio because of the shape of her nose, who moonlights as a singer at said bar. The two lock eyes, and the rest is set for one of the most heartfelt, emotionally investing and ultimately tragic film experiences of the year. “A Star is Born” is a unique find because it is the third remake, with the original 1937 film starring Janet Gaynor and Fredric March being remade twice, once in 1954 with Judy Garland and James Mason, and again in 1976

with Barbra Streisand and Kris Kristofferson. It is also Cooper’s directorial debut, as his interest and passion for storytelling, particularly with this one, was expressed heavily in his one-onone chat with Robert DeNiro at this year’s Tribeca Film Festival. Granted, this film does check off all the boxes for the imaginary Oscar ballot. First-time director, musical, love story and remake of a famous and beloved Hollywood

story are all aspects that impact a film significantly for awards. The Academy has in fact been criticized heavily, as, up until two years ago, the Best Picture winner usually had something to do with Hollywood (i.e., “The Artist,” “Argo” and “Birdman”). The difference with this film that sets it apart from the usual mold of Oscar-bait movies is that this one really doubles down on the heart factor. This was some of

the most emotionally driven content of the entire year, and that was so refreshing to see. So many films now try to capture what it means to be in love without striving for what makes it genuine, and it has made for a lot of dull content over the years. Cooper’s long career in front of the camera and working with some of the absolute best that Hollywood have to offer has given him a unique position and take, and it places him next on the long list of actors who transitioned to directing to upgrade their career. He gives absolutely one of the most standout, rocksteady, gripping emotional performances of the year. Audiences buy him 100 percent as a grizzled rock star alcoholic who once had it big but has most definitely lost a lot of what made him big to begin with. Enter Lady Gaga. The artist formerly known as Stephanie Joanne Angelina Germonatta has had a long reputation of showing off some very bombastic and over-the-top, diva-like costumes and performances in her decadelong singing career. Because of

this, it is so refreshing to see how subtle she is in quite possibly the best female performance of the whole year. From the minute she enters the screen, she is an absolute joy to watch, for all the right reasons. She is drop-deadgorgeous, but not in a show-off kind of way. Her chemistry with everyone in the film is out of this world, from Cooper to her father, played by an unrecognizable Andrew Dice Clay (“Vinyl”). A love story only works if the chemistry between the two leads works, and there is so much chemistry oozing off the screen, it will make audiences everywhere want to kiss the person next to them. The cinematography is a new level of amazing, the supporting cast is all fantastic, Sam Elliot in particular deserves an Oscar nomination for Supporting Actor, and the soundtrack is the best in years. As a remake, “A Star is Born” offers its own unique take and edge to a decades-old story, and as a film, despite being technically flawed, particularly in the middle, it stands out as one of the best of the year.

‘Big Mouth’ returns to Netflix with more delightful sex jokes Jessica Wickham Chief Copy Editor jwickham@oswegonian.com

“Big Mouth” is a weird, messed-up show, and it is back for 10 more offensive, perverted episodes for anyone lucky enough to have a Netflix account or a friend with one. With that being said, it is still one of the funniest shows on the platform and offers a generally positive message under plenty of offensive content. “Big Mouth” is mostly known for its perverted jokes and themes. After all, it is a show about kids going through puberty. At its heart, “Big Mouth” is a progressive show, and its second season hammers that home once again. All the favorites are back: Nick (Nick Kroll, “Portlandia”), Andrew (John Mulaney, “Portlandia”), Jessi (Jessi Klein, “Inside Amy Schumer”), Jay (Jason Mantzoukas, “I’m Sorry”) and Missy (Jenny Slate, “Bob’s Burgers”). There are also some new

faces, like Tyler (John Gemberling, “Dog Days”), Nick’s new hormone monster, and the Shame Wizard (David Thewlis, “Fargo”). One of the biggest and most welcoming changes with the new season is the expansion of its lore and world-building. In the last episode of this season, similar to season one, viewers are treated to the exploration of a whole new world, this time, the Department of Puberty. Think “Inside Out,” but “Big Mouth” style. Viewers who wanted their lore questions answered got it this season. A pleasant return is the meta moments where the show essentially pokes fun at Netflix as a platform, and every quip is hilarious. There is also an episode with a new format, not unlike “Saturday Night Live,” to send safe-sex messages with a Planned Parenthood endorsement. Even if the style is a bit off for the show, it is still funny and educational. Aside from the world and plot, the complexity of the main cast of characters only

gets stronger. Nick tries to get with the girl who suddenly grew breasts and goes through three hormone monsters. Andrew comes to terms with being a perverted creep. Jessi acts out because of her parents’ divorce, Jay is bi-curious, and Missy shows her sexy side. All the arcs fit their characters perfectly, and though it can be sad to see the teens sabotage themselves, it makes it that much better to see them recover. That is one thing that makes “Big Mouth” different from a certain other popular Netflix Original, “Bojack Horseman.” Sure, its plot can be depressingly realistic at times, but at the end of the day, the message is a generally hopeful one. Some of the underlying and well-conveyed morals include: bisexuality is real; depression can be suffocating; every body is beautiful; and shame can be a useful, if annoying, feeling. Speaking of shame, the biggest new presence by far is the Shame Wizard, played by Remus Lupin himself, who makes the characters feel ashamed of

their bodies and deviant behavior. Though he does fit in with the lore of the show in the end, his introduction brings up a lot of questions, like where the heck was he the last season? The characters have done far more shameful things before, so he feels shoehorned in. Another complaint is that Coach Steve (Nick Kroll), who has always seemed like a combination of Jar Jar Binks and Forrest Gump, gets the “Cars 2” treat-

ment and is bumped to main character status, complete with his own annoying and unnecessary episode about losing his virginity. The repeated joke is that he is stupid, and it is not even redeemed by a nice message. Overall, “Big Mouth” has done it again with plenty of perverted jokes for twisted minds and enough messages to keep it uplifting. For “Big Mouth,” life may be a f*****-up mess, but that does not mean all hope is lost.

George Carlin biopic in works from ‘Moneyball’ writer

Image from Curious George via YouTube George Carlin in his standup special “Complaints and Grievances” in 2001.

Stephen Novak Staff Writer laker@oswegonian.com Those who are fans of stand-up comedians will almost certainly be familiar with George Denis Patrick Carlin, a prolific comedian

and actor from the 90s. Having also written several books like “When Will Jesus Bring the Pork Chops,” “Napalm and Silly Putty” and “Braindroppings,” he was known for his strong language and tendency to be critical of Americans

both socially and politically, most notably with his comments regarding religion. While having a foul mouth is not unheard of today, back in his time, cursing in one’s work/writing was incredibly taboo. Many comedians, such as Jerry Seinfeld (though his current material takes on a much raunchier form), are sticking to clean and family-friendly writing in order to push their careers into the acting space. Carlin did not follow that ambition (even though he did consider it at the outset of his work), instead using his witty writing to push the messages he found important. While one could always Google Carlin’s name and find his face imposed next to a cynical comment on human behavior, he was known for having a softer side around those he cared about. That is why those who followed him were devastated to find that on June

22, 2008, Carlin had passed away at the age of 71. Those same fans will be overjoyed to learn that a biopic about his life is in the works, possibly aiming to show his rise to fame and/ or how he gained his famous cynical style. Carlin was raised in Manhattan in a Christian family with the guidance of his mother, who not only gave him an appreciation for language, something that would become central to the many themes of his stand-up, but also tried to instill in him the same Christian values he would grow to detest. He later joined the Air Force as a radar technician, but found himself getting constantly court-martialed and finally discharged. Along with his comedic escapades, Carlin was no stranger to the realm of acting. He would play many characters, such as Rufus in “Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure” and a part-time

narrator for “Thomas the Tank Engine.” Despite this popularity, Carlin would eventually return to comedy, claiming he would like to use his craft to spread a message, as he was inspired by those who played music. While not much is known about the film, it is important that the style of the late comedian’s writing lives on through it. Hopefully, it provides a dark yet goofy type of comedy for the big screen. The biography will be written by Stan Chervin (“Moneyball”) and has been approved by the estate, which might provide some hope to fans. The biggest unknown, however, is who will play Carlin. It is important to find someone who can bring the same cynicism and gutpunch comedy, or else the whole film will suffer. Plus, who would want a George Carlin that cannot recite the seven words you cannot say on television?

‘Vice’ trailer shows off another overweight Christian Bale Dominic Rizzi Laker Review Editor drizzi@oswegonian.com

With the never-ending barrage of trailers that Hollywood likes to dump on the public at certain points of the year, it can be easy for good content to get lost in the shuffle. However, there was one trailer that stood out among the muck of superhero and blockbuster advertisements. Based on a reallife figure, if not one of the most controversial figures to date, this would be none other than the biopic covering of the life of former Vice President Dick Cheney. Cheney will be portrayed in another chameleonic performance by Christian Bale (“Hostiles”) in the upcoming film “Vice.” If one were to ask “What if Adam McKay were to direct a movie about the housing crisis?” back in 2008, anyone in Hollywood would have cracked up laughing. McKay, prior to 2015, was primarily known for his goofy, zany, almost surrealistic comedies starring frequent collaborator Will Ferrell

(“Daddy’s Home 2”), which included “Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy,” “Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby,” “Step Brothers” and “The Other Guys.” But a funny thing happened in 2013. McKay said yes to directing “Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues,” arguably the film that kicked off the vast amount of bad sequels to fantastic 2000s’ comedies that would come after it. The reason for this, however, was completely different. McKay used the opportunity for directing the comedy sequel in order to make his passion project: a pseudo, hyper-realistic take on the housing crisis that almost crippled the world’s economy for a second time. The film was “The Big Short.” It starred Bale, Steve Carell (“Battle of the Sexes”), Ryan Gosling (“Blade Runner 2049”) and Brad Pitt (“Deadpool 2”) as the different people who figured out the market was coasting on a bubble that was about to collapse and managed to profit from it by betting against the market. The film shocked the

world with its unique take on an otherwise very scary issue that, quite frankly, is not talked about enough. It received a ton of awards and even won Adapted Screenplay for McKay and his co-screenwriter, Charles Randolph. It looks as though McKay has found a new path for his filmmaking career, as he is continuing with his efforts for real-life stories as opposed to absurdist comedies. “Vice” is set to cover Chaney’s life from his origins

as Haliburton chief executive to his reign as secretary of defense under George H. W. Bush and becoming the most powerful vice president in history. Bale once again packs on a ton of weight for the role, reportedly gaining 40 pounds for the part. Bale is well known for losing and gaining vast amounts of weight for roles, with his most famous instance being 2004’s “The Machinist,” for which he lost 60 pounds, followed by gaining all the weight back a year later for

“Batman Begins.” Besides Bale, the supporting cast all look terrific as well. Amy Adams (“Sharp Objects”) is set to portray Cheney’s wife, Lynn, while Carell and Sam Rockwell (“Three Billboards outside Ebbing, Missouri”) will play Donald Rumsfeld and George W. Bush, respectively. If McKay keeps up his signature style with this film, it could be another absolutely absurd piece of storytelling that could provide one of the best films of the year.

Chris Evans says farewell to Captain America in tweet

Image from ScreenJunies News via YouTube.com

Chris Evans first signed on to play Captain America in 2010, despite some hesitation after playing Johnny Storm, aka Human Torch, in 20th Century Fox’s “Fantastic Four.”

Brandon Fallat Asst. Laker Review Editor bfallat@oswegonian.com Well Marvel fans, in the words of Captain America himself, we have finally reached “the end of the line.” Yet, not entirely, as the highly anticipated, currently untitled “Avengers 4” will not be released until May 3, 2019. However, one key member of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s history has already hung up his tights, perhaps for good. Actor Chris Evans (“The Avengers: Infinity War”) has portrayed the iconic, starspangled soldier, Steve Rogers, aka Captain America, in eight films over the span of eight years. In the process, he brought life and charm to a character once thought of as nothing more than a glorified, overly patriotic Boy Scout. However, on Oct. 4, 2018, Evans sent out a tweet following his wrap on reshoots for the next “Avengers” film. “Playing this role over the last 8 years has been an honor,” Evans stated in the tweet. “To everyone in front of the camera, behind the camera, and in the audience, thank you for the memories! Eternally grateful.” Evans is one of the original cast members in the

world-famous, box-officeconquering, lighting-ina-bottle experiment that is the MCU. So, to read his tweet and finally realize that, after “Avengers 4,” the superhero-fan community will have to say goodbye to one of their favorite characters, is exhilaratingly sad to say the least. While certain superheroes have only just begun their tenure at Marvel Studios, such as Tom Holland’s Spider-Man, Chadwick Boseman’s Black Panther or Brie Larson’s Captain Marvel, others are finishing theirs, such as Evans, Robert Downey Jr.’s Iron Man and Chris Hemsworth’s Thor. These characters have all had very long and wondrous arcs, spanning anywhere from 2008 when “Iron Man” was released, all the way to this year’s “The Avengers: Infinity War.” Now, after “Avengers 4” hits theaters, viewers will be witnessing the true end of an era, not just for the characters, but also the fans. Audience members who were children when they first saw Iron Man walk away from an exploding tank he shot are now a decade older. With each passing film, viewers saw beloved characters begin to age, and now, they will see that entire crew from the

iconic 360-degree shot in 2012’s “The Avengers” take their final bow. These are revelations that are finally being brought to the forefront of fans’ minds following Evans’ cryptic tweet. Fans are not just weeping tears of sadness at the fact that their losing their favorite 90-year-old butt-kicker, but also tears of joy, reminiscing upon the incredible, iconic and irreplaceable cinematic journey that Marvel has taken us on over the course of an entire decade. Goodbyes are never easy, but now marks the first stop on the seven-month journey toward eventual sobbing in the theater after the credits roll for “Avengers 4.” What will happen to Captain America? Will he finally meet his maker, standing toe to toe with the Mad Titan himself, Thanos (Josh Brolin, “Deadpool 2”)? Will he ride off into the sunset, with a world saved and a job well done? Or will he travel back in time to finally take that dance with Agent Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell, “Christopher Robin”)? Whichever route the filmmakers decide to take, one thing is for sure, “Avengers: Infinity War” might have made fans shed some tears, but “Avengers 4” will rip fans’ hearts to shreds.
