John McCain, one of nation’s ‘bravest souls’ in war and peace

John McCain speaks at a rally in Davenport, Iowa in Oct. 2008.
Congressional leaders saluted John McCain Aug. 31 as a model of service in war and peace and “one of the bravest souls our nation has ever produced,” in a memorial ceremony at the heart of the political battlefield where he fought for more than three decades. Then thousands of fellow Americans, who had lined up outside the U.S. Capitol in stifling heat, began filing past in the majestic rotunda to say goodbye as he lay in state. McCain, the Arizona senator who died Aug. 25 at 81, was remembered as a man who inspired other leaders even as he vexed them with a rebellious streak and impish humor. Absent from the event was Donald Trump, invited to stay away by the family of the senator, who had deep disagreements with the president. McCain’s service in Vietnam, and his refusal to be released early as a prisoner of war, made the setting of the Aug. 31st service all the more fitting, some said. “Half a world away, wearing our nation’s uniform, John McCain stood up for every value that this Capitol Building represents,” Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell told the crowd of McCain’s family, friends and aides. “Then, he brought that same patriotism inside its walls -- to advocate for our service members, our veterans and our moral leadership in the world. So it is only right that today, near the end of his long journey, John lies here.” The Aug. 31st ceremony and public viewing were the midpoint of McCain’s fiveday cross-country funeral procession from Arizona, where he and wife Cindy raised their family, through the Capitol where he worked for more than 35 years, to the U.S. Naval Academy cemetery in Annapolis, Maryland — “back where it began,” as he wrote in his recent memoir, “The Restless Wave.” On Sept. 1, the procession paused by the Vietnam Veterans Memorial on the way to the formal funeral service at Washington National Cathedral. In Trump’s absence, Vice President Mike Pence, Defense Secretary James Mattis, White House Chief of Staff John Kelly and other officials represented the administration. Pence at one point said that Trump, who mocked McCain for being captured, “respected his service to the country.”
The stop at the Capitol was designed to spotlight McCain’s outsized role in an institution bursting with big, willful personalities. Just to the north of the rotunda in the semidarkened Senate, McCain’s desk remained draped in black and topped with a vase of white roses. After the ceremony, Cindy McCain quietly sat behind her husband’s desk, escorted by his seatmate and close friend, Sen. Lindsey Graham. Graham plucked two of the roses from the vase and gave them to her during that private moment, said two people close to McCain and his family. Of those who spoke at the Aug. 31st ceremony, fellow Republican McConnell had perhaps the fullest sense of the McCain experience. The two had served in the Senate together since McCain’s 1986 election. “Depending on the issue, you knew John would either be your staunchest ally or your most-stubborn opponent,” McConnell recalled. “At any moment, he might be preparing an eloquent reflection on human liberty — or a devastating joke, served up with his signature cackle and that John McCain glint in his eye.” But just about anyone who worked in the Capitol over the past 35 years could attest to McCain’s iron will and what House Speaker Paul Ryan called his “distinct brand of candor.” “With John, it was never feigned disagreement. The man didn’t feign anything,” Ryan said. “He just relished the fight.” “This,” Ryan added of McCain, “is one of the bravest souls our nation has ever produced.” Pence, himself a former House member, recalled traveling through Iraq with McCain and falling asleep during a dinner with officials. McCain, nearly 23 years older, told him, “Mike, we’ve got a few more meetings tonight. But why don’t you turn in. You look like you could use some rest.” Members of McCain’s family, seated nearby, smiled. Cindy McCain was the first to pay respects at her husband’s casket. She bowed over it and appeared to pray. The last of the family to file past was his mother, 106-year-old Roberta McCain. Wheeled up to her son’s flag-draped casket, she crossed herself and was wheeled out. Others from McCain’s long career paused. Some wept. Former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger reached out with both hands to touch the flag. Former Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman and actors Warren Beatty and Annette Bening also stopped. Sen. Jack Reed, the ranking Democrat on the Senate Armed Services Committee that McCain chaired, crossed himself in front of the casket. Then he waited for retired Sens. Carl Levin, a Democrat, and John Warner, a Republican, both of whom chaired the powerful committee at one time. The three left the rotunda arm-in-arm. – The Associated Press

Club fair a door to opportunities KOBLOH-OBASE KAMMONKE Staff Writer
A complete college experience isn’t derived from academic coursework alone, but also the extracurricular activities available at the college. Richland’s annual Club Fair is an opportunity for students to get involved with clubs and for clubs to showcase what they do and recruit new members. “Generally, Club Fair is just that. It fills the whole student lounge and allows the students to go from booth to booth finding out what it takes to join a club and what it [the club] is all about,” said Louise Rodgers Keim, administrative assistant with the Office of Student Life (OSL). There are currently more than 37 clubs and organizations at Richland offering students a
variety of engaging opportunities. The majority of the clubs are student run and serve as avenues for enrichment, networking and fun. The clubs work with OSL to meet certain requirements. The clubs are responsible for spreading the word about their club and recruiting new members. This year, the OSL created an online form for students who are interested in the club, which made it easier for the clubs to recruit new members. Blessing Nwoaba, a member of Phi Theta Kappa and the African Student Association, addressed the benefits of club participation. “In being with ASA, you get to learn more about your history and heritage. You get to participate in events like cultural day and show your talents,” Nwoaba said. “With PTK, you’re able to get scholarships [and] it will look good on your resume.”

The Sept. 1 weekend was one that both Mike George and his wife Patsy will long remember. “It’s my wife’s birthday weekend,” George Mike George said. “It’ll be a birthday for her and a retirement for me.”
George has worked part time in the Richland library for three and a half years and then full time for another eight and a half years. His last day was Aug. 31. His wife works for the Dallas Independent School District and will retire in January. “I love the environment and the people, especially the students,” George said. “I spend a lot of time in the main library. I’m able to work with the students. It’s just a real joy for me.” George said his retirement plans include becoming more active in a ministry that he has been part of for the last 33 years. The ministry building is on the grounds of Cochran Chapel in Dallas. “It’s adult education. We do workshops all over the country,” he said. “We have a center. It’s Dallas-based.”

‘Mile 22’:Wahlberg excels in thriller RICKY MILLER Entertainment Editor
Peter Berg has amassed quite the career. As an actor, he encompassed an impressive résumé with roles in “Very Bad Things” (which he also directed), “A Midnight Clear,” TV’s “Chicago Hope,” “Fire in the Sky,” James Mangold’s “Cop Land” and Michael Mann’s Tom Cruise-led “Collateral.” Berg also helmed one of the dumbest, yet a fun guilty pleasure, films “Battleship,” which is based on the board game. His new action-drama “Mile 22” finds Berg re-teaming with Mark Wahlberg for the fourth time. He worked with Wahlberg most recently in “Lone Survivor,” a 2013 tale about the last man standing in an overseas operation. More recent pairings were in the true-life oil spill flick “Deepwater Horizon” and “Patriots Day,” about the Boston Marathon bombing in 2013.

Mark Wahlberg in the gritty “Mile 22.”
IN MEMORY OF NEIL SIMON
“Mile 22” has a great cast with Lauren Cohan (TV’s “The Walking Dead”), Oscar nominee John Malkovich, (“In the Line of Fire,” 1993), Ronda Rousey (“The Expendables 3”) and Iko Uwais. Berg knows his prowess and it shows in his handling of the scenes where Li Noor (Uwais) takes on some nurses at the local hospital. It is significant because that is not where they take Li, a prisoner and former cop they want for safe keeping. Li also has some intel on an ongoing situation. Berg knows how to handle the camera in the action sequences, which in many scenes are a tight fit just like his fine work in 2003’s “The Rundown.” In that one, Dwayne Johnson, aka The Rock, did a great job in the role and did not make his part a caricature. His bounty hunter persona wanted to open a restaurant and get out of the bounty hunting lifestyle. Berg knows just when and where to point and shoot. “Mile 22” is gritty as all get out, since the movie does not follow normal traditions and parameters in storytelling technique. It is non-stop action from the opening scene. The pacing is brisk and only slows down for brief spells to do some minor character development. Wahlberg, like The Rock before him, proved he could single handedly carry a movie. For him, it was Paul Thomas Anderson’s “Boogie Nights,” the tale of a young dishwasher, Eddie Adams, who eventually becomes porn sensation Dirk Diggler. It is one of Anderson’s earlier works, from 1997. A lot of the viewing public was at “Mile 22” to see Wahlberg. For me though, it was seeing the often underrated Uwais who, like other martial arts maestros Donne Yen, Jet Li or even Jackie Chan, has a very selective and discreet audience. What was also of interest was the close knit operations that endured. No one involved carries identification. The team, for all intents and purposes, is a bunch of ghosts. Not to ruin anything, but this one falls into the category of “The Usual Suspects” and David Fincher’s “The Game” as pretzel-twisting thriller camp. As aforementioned, the pacing on this well-told tale is simply relentless. Berg always makes the viewers keep their eyes fixed on the screen. Grade: B+
“The Odd Couple” (1968) — The first teamup of actors Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau resulted in strong acting, great dialogue and witty banter that some people might find dated by today’s standards.

This is part 2 of a 3 part series. The Chronicle continues its series examining campus resources and the ways Richland meets community needs with a look at The Learning Center. Located in Medina Hall, Room M-216, The Learning Center provides free tutoring for all major subjects. It is staffed with students and qualified individuals who demonstrate an in-depth knowledge of their respective subjects to help students reach their academic goals. The learning center provides tutoring services for credit, continuing education and Richland Collegiate High School students. Lab coordinator Calvin Araracap said The Learning Center also offers service learning opportunities for students interested in volunteering and community service, on or off campus. “They are given a timesheet to keep track of their hours to be turned in at the end of the year and properly put into the system,” Araracap said. The Learning Center offers a quiet, distraction-free area for students to complete their work and study. Walk-in students can sign in with their ID. It is unnecessary to make an appointment for subjects other than reading and writing.

Students use The Learning Center’s resources to study and get tutoring help.
The Learning Center offers tutoring in math, science, accounting, reading and writing. Students can freely ask questions. An instructional support member or tutor will help them break the work down until they feel comfortable doing it on their own. The Writing Center and Reading Corner offer one-on-one tutoring. Students sign up for a 30-minute tutoring session with the Writing Center three times a week and onehour sessions twice a week with the Reading Corner. Students get an in-depth understanding of the writing process and answers to questions about grammar, style and mechanics. The Learning Center also offers workshops throughout the semester on topics such as time management, stress management and
money budgeting. Araracap said teachers often offer extra credit for attendance. The workshops are small, personal and hands-on with a limit of 15 students. Reservations can be made in person or online. The sessions usually run 15 minutes to an hour in length. The workshops are advertised through the coordinator, who works with instructors to find students who will receive the most benefit. The Learning Center also offers special services to students with learning challenges. These students can reserve sessions with a tutor at a specified time. For more information call 972-238-6226 or email tlcrlc@dcccd.edu. Look for Part 3 of this series in the Sept. 11 issue of the Chronicle.
Preparing students for job interviews and more NATHAN TERRY

Richland students and members of the surrounding community can visit Career Services, located in El Paso Hall, Room E090, where resources, ranging from work study programs to job application skills, are available Monday through Thursday, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. “The role of the Career Center is to prepare students professionally and connect students with employment opportunities,” said Kelly Speir, senior career planning specialist for Career Services. “We offer a variety of resources that are going to help the student acquire skills and abilities, including résumé writing, interview preparation skills and job search strategies.” Career Services also extends opportunities into the community; not just limiting support to current students, but expanding to alumni and those living in the immediate area. “Anybody and everybody is eligible to utilize the career center,” Speir said. “We have a large full-time staff that can help students. There is never an appointment needed.” Those interested in using the services shouldn’t feel obligated to bring anything with them; however, students seeking assistance in specific areas might benefit from

bringing their résumés along. Support systems have been set up so prospective employers can meet face to face with those seeking to advance their careers and improve their abilities to land the job that once may have seemed out of reach. “During on-campus recruitment we actually have employers visit the campus here to actively speak to our students,” Speir said. With Richland hosting job fairs twice a year, in the spring and fall, there are plenty of
opportunities to gain the necessary skills when entering or re-entering the job market. “In addition to connecting students with employment resources, we help students identify career pathways as well,” added Speir. Choices 360 Career Assessment is a test available for people who aren’t certain of their direction and might need some encouragement along the way. The test makes it possible to narrow their options and gives feedback so that they can then use the tools to explore the job marketplace. Enrolled students who need immediate employment in the form of a part-time job can also benefit when they visit Career Services. “Many students don’t realize that Richland offers work-study opportunities,” Speir said. “This is part-time employment on campus. It’s up to 19 and a half hours per week at $11.54 an hour.” Even mock interviews can be set up for those students who feel anxious about job interviews. Students who have benefitted the most from these programs agree that preparation for what’s ahead is the key to their success. Many are eager to come back and share their experiences with Speir. “I’ve had a lot of great feedback from students upon completion of their mock interviews,” Speir said. “I can definitively tell you firsthand that it works and that students find success.”

Volleyball dominating, Cowboys hope to bounce back in regular NFL season KAMMONKE
DALLAS COWBOYS After 4 straight losses in the preseason games, Dallas Cowboys have their eyes set on an opening day win. This was the first time since 2014 that the Cowboys had gone winless in the preseason. Despite their poor run of form, coach Jason Garrett is adamant that once the regular season kick off, the Cowboys will be back

RICHLAND VOLLEYBALL The Richland volleyball team has been hard at work this preseason. They finished their preparations with comprehensive wins against Southwest Collegiate Institute for the Deaf and Paul Quinn College. Richland won both games 3-0. Speaking after the Paul Quinn game, coach Zelda Smith was optimistic about the team’s chances of progressing to the conference playoffs this fall. She believes the team is going to be a “surprise” package this season. “They’re playing together. They have lots of experience - more drive. We have a lot of girls that have been playing a while,” Smith said. Kyley Marberger, sophomore, is pleased with the attitude of the girls and she believes the camaraderie within the team can spur them on to the nationals. “We have a really good team this year. We’re really close and we have a move in from [Spain] and she’s really good. It’s a total complete difference. Like last year, we were all cliquey and we didn’t really get along really well. But this year, we are all really fluid, playing good together,” said Marberger. Richland will play Texas College in the Richland gym on Sept. 5. at 7 p.m.

to their winning ways. Reacting to the losses, Garrett was positive at a post-game press conference following the preseason final against the Houston Texans. “I thought we got better as a team over the course of four games,” he said. “Obviously you have a lot of different objectives going into each of the games. [It] starts with the playing time of your guys. You’re obviously looking at other people. Certainly, when you go out there you want to win, we’re competing to win but that doesn’t override the other objectives we have. Obviously if we wanted to win this game the number of guys who didn’t play in the game would have played.” Ezekiel Elliot, a prominent figure in the Cowboys team wasn’t featured in any of the preseason contests. Garrett suggested that
he was preserving his star men like Elliot and Dak Prescott for the regular season. Elliot is raring to go. “I think we’re both ready to embrace this leadership role,” Elliott, who still leads the NFL in yards rushing per game last season, told The Associated Press. “We’re excited for this year to come. Camp is long, the preseason is long, but there is nothing like that first game when the lights come on for real.” The Cowboys have added reinforcements ahead of the first game. The Kansas City Chiefs traded offensive lineman Parker Ehinger to the Cowboys for undrafted cornerback Charvarius Ward. The Cowboys will face off against Carolina Panthers in Charlotte to start the NFL season on Sept. 9 at 3:25 p.m.
