These costs include renting 20 laser guns and 15 large bunkers, which cost $1,090; cases of water for the participants; and bear cutouts to hide behind that will go along with the Homecoming theme which cost $139.96. There is an insurance policy within the cost in case any of the equipment gets broken. This event will be free for students but there will be no prizes given out.

Toiletries donation drop boxes will be set up in the Student Center until Friday for Hygiene for Humanity.

There is a meeting for the CAB advisers at 11 a.m., today, in the Scottsbluff room.

The inflatable movie screen is halfway to the campus. There was a free upgrade on the screen so it is bigger than the one CAB originally ordered. CAB wants clubs to co-host activities with

Chi Alpha and Revive are working together to put on a concert Wednesday, Oct. 14. There will be four bands performing: Fireflight, Seventh Day Slumber, Shonlock, and Scarlet White.

Originally, they were planning on only hosting one band but there are four on the Small Town American Tour together. They have $3,500 in their budget for this event. CAB allocated $5,500 to cover the other costs of the event.

This event will be free for all students

as long as they bring their Student ID. The community will not be charged to attend the concert.

CAB needs the club packets returned to them by Tuesday or club funds will be frozen until next semester.

CAB also needs the club president’s, CAB representative’s, and adviser’s name and email submitted to them.

A handbook is in the process of being made for the clubs so there is no question of what the rules and regulations are for CAB. Free Bowling Night cannot be Dec. 5 so CAB is currently checking if Nov. 14 would work. Free Movie Night is Sept. 27.

NSCS approves CSC football stadium, track project Jordyn Hulinsky Managing Editor

The Nebraska State College System Board of Trustees approved the program statement for the football stadium and outdoor track project for CSC at the Sept. 11 Board meeting hosted at CSC. Dan Worth, of Bahr Vermeer Haecker Architects, presented the program statement to the Board at a session on Sept. 10. The Board was told Elliott Field is deteriorating, so according to the Campus Master Plan in 2012, the plan was to demolish the original stadium and create a new stadium, football field, and press box. Plans include creating a new outdoor track as well.

CSC also updated degree programs at CSC as part of the meeting. The major of Community Mental Health Counseling has been changed to Clinical Mental Health Counseling. Gerontology and Hospitality were added as minors. Organizational Psychology and Psychology & the Legal System were removed as minors. The Wildlife Biology minor is

now Organismal Biology.

The Board approved the carryforward funds of operations for the three state colleges. CSC will carryforward $1,347,763.35 in cash funds and $156,696.07 in revolving funds.

CSC has $78,756 in write-off uncollectible student accounts fees. In order for fee to be considered uncollectible, they must be at least two years old, and the college must use every measure possible in collecting the money, including turning accounts over to a collection agency.

In his reports, CSC President Randy Rhine stated that 636 undergraduates students received academic honors in Spring 2015. The president’s list was 277 names deep, and the dean’s list had 359 students on it.

Rhine said that two faculty members published books in the summer: Kurt Kinbacher, assistant professor of history, and Steven Coughlin, assistant professor of English and Humanities.

Rhine stated that six students attended the national Phi Beta Lambda conference in Chicago and two of them finished in the top eight.

Column Congratulations Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation for being voted in as a new CAB club! CAB is very excited to have Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation (RMEF) and CSC LARP as two new clubs on campus this year! Remember that at any time during the year, you, too, can start a new club at Chadron State.

Another exciting addition to CAB this year is an inflatable movie screen projection system that will be available for club use. The screen is more than 16 feet and can be used indoors as well as outdoors. We encourage clubs to utilize the new asset and students to come enjoy the movie nights hosted by clubs.

A quick reminder, advisers, the adviser meeting will be Thursday in the Scottsbluff room in the Student Center. If you cannot attend please notify CAB at cab@eagles.csc.edu. Clubs also remember your updated information is due Tuesday.

Wada named 2015 NSCS Teaching Excellence honoree Justine Stone News Editor

Associate Professor of Justice Studies at Chadron State College, James Wada, was awarded the 2015 Teaching Excellence Award from the NSCS Board of Trustees last Thursday during the NSCS Trustees dinner hosted at CSC. This award has been given annually since 1986 to one faculty member from each of the state colleges (Chadron State College, Peru State College, and Wayne State College) who demonstrates innovation, leadership, and service to the institution and NSCS. The college received three nominations to be considered by the Board of Trustees, who then chose the honoree in April. A desk plaque and $3,000 stipend on behalf of the Board of Trustees were presented to Wada as a part of the award.

Wada received his bachelor’s and master’s degree in criminal justice from Boise State University. He also received

a doctorate of philosophy in higher education administration from Washington State University in Pullman. Wada joined the CSC staff as an assistant professor in 2007. He is now the chair of justice studies and an associate professor at the institution. Wada has taught several courses at CSC including courses regarding to criminology, youth crime and gangs, forensic studies, introduction to policing, and courses in the criminal justice studies honors program. He has traveled to conferences at regional and national levels along with traveling to London to study with students.

Letters that were written for his nomination of the award contained several comments complimenting his values, involvement, and dedication to the college. One of the letters said that he “is an excellent member of the Chadron State College community, he is a committed educator, and a trusted colleague, and dedicated volunteer, and a great

leader.” Others included how outstanding his volunteerism on campus is; they commented on how he is at every event that needs help in any way. They also complimented his teaching style, which includes his ability to connect with his students and provide several hands on activities. The Board of Trustees said the decision was tough but emphasized how the award Wada received was “welldeserved.”

“I used to think that what I accomplished I did on my own, and I realized as I got older what a foolish concept that was,” Wada said. “I couldn’t have been recognized for this without many people.” He continued by thanking many people who have always supported everything he did and helped making everything he does possible.

Richard Clopton of Peru State College, and Barbara Engebretsen of Wayne State College, were nominees for the teaching award.

EDITORIAL–THE EAGLE’S VIEW

9/11 is the new day to live in infamy Sara Tweet Photographer

The importance of the 1st amendment

T

he first amendment to the Constitution gives all Americans freedom of religion, freedom of speech or of the press, freedom to peaceably assemble, and the freedom to petition to the Government for a redress of grievances.

Press freedom means that any form of news media including print, television, web, and radio are not subject to government censorship. The United States government does not have the right to control or block anything from being published by the press.

A term that is often associated with the first amendment is prior restraint. Prior restraint is an attempt by the government to prevent the expression of ideas before they are published. Under the protections of the first amendment prior restraint is unconstitutional.

The first amendment gives Americans the right to publish anything. However, it does not necessarily protect them once it is published. If statements are published that are not true, then the government can intervene and press libel charges against the person who wrote the lies or the publication that he or she is associated with.

The first amendment is important to journalists because it legally protects their livelihood.

It is a journalist’s job to publish the truth about the government, and the first amendment provides them with the protections that they need so that they do not get imprisoned for publishing the truth.

In other countries, the citizens do not have the right to say anything they want about the government. And if they say something that angers those who have more money and power than they do, they may just find themselves in a cellar with handcuffs on or even dead. Because there are no journalists to publish the flaws, these governments can get away with anything they please.

The beauty of the freedoms that journalists in America enjoy is that we help to keep the government honest. We expose the flaws of those that are ranked higher than we are.

Sept. 11, 2001, is a day that we, as a nation, will never forget, but that day, especially for people who lost loved ones, is a day that will never disappear from their memories.

The high school class of 2015 is the last generation that will remember 9/11 with their own memories. I am part of that class and many of my old classmates remember what happened and what they were doing on that day.

When I asked the class below me if they remember 9/11, many of them said no and that their parents told them what happened that day.

Sept. 11, 2001, was my first day of preschool; I remember the planes and the towers being on the TV all day long and watching so many people crying.

Since I lived in California at the time, my parents were scared that L.A. would be the next target.

Before 9/11, I had never seen people talking to strangers. People didn’t care about the person next to them. In the days to come, I remember seeing

many people on the side of the streets holding hands with strangers, lighting candles and the American flag hanging from every house, and there were even flags hanging over the highway overpasses.

America stood strong and we became one nation again.

Today we do not see people having patriotism the way they did immediately following 9/11.

We need to try and keep that patriotism going so the younger generation knows what it means to be an American. We need to make sure that the lives taken from us on 9/11 will never be forgotten.

I think that we should be teaching 9/11 in schools, not just on that one day, but earlier so that the younger

MAN ON THE STREET

we asked:

generation knows understands this day means so much.

We need to teach about 9/11 because it is important just like the Civil War, WWI and WWII. Especially because 9/11 was an attack on the United States, it is an important time in our history.

The younger generation needs to know about all the people who gave their lives to save others and the ones that died in the planes as they ran into the towers. They need to know about the fireman and the police officers that still have nightmares about that day. They need to know that our president was reading to a bunch of kids in a school when he got the news about the towers.

Sept. 11, 2001, was a day that America was attacked on home soil.

We cannot lose that fighting spirit.

We cannot wait until the next time it happens to have that power. We need to become one nation and stand united.

In the words of Cheryl Sawyer, in her poem, “The Power of One,” “We are The Power of One. We are united.

We are America.”

OPINION

csceagle.com | The Eagle | SEPT. 17, 2015

Exotic animals are best kept in the wild Tyrel Grasz Contributor There is a common misconception about owning exotic wildlife as pets in the world. Many people who elect to own a pet that is more unique than say a house cat or a dog, fail to see the larger picture that is associated with owning that type of pet. Whether it be a small squirrel or a large African lion, many people think that owning these cute, fluffy animals will be the coolest thing ever.

What people neglect to realize is that these animals don’t stay small forever, and even when they have been raised by humans their entire lives, they still have natural instincts that they will revert to once they reach a more mature stage of life. It is at that point that they become unmanageable by the owner and problems can start to occur. Big cats become too large for their cages. Snakes become master escape artists. Or worse yet, venomous pet snakes bite owners and bears attack and maul their keepers.

Many incidents have been reported, but people still neglect the warnings that wildlife conservationists and officials have reiterated to the public.

Much of this information has been a large part of my education as a wildlife major. For one of my classes, we watched a documentary called “Elephant in the Living Room.” This documentary complied multiple situations where exotic pets became a problem for their owners, and the owner either ended up severely injured or was killed.

Instances have been reported where the pet was released into the wild, disturbing the natural regime and thus disrupting the ecosystem established in that area. One instance that really stuck out to me was a situation where multiple pet pythons that had gotten too large to be kept were released into the Everglades of Florida. When released into the wild, these snakes not only consume the natural wildlife, but they also interbreed in this habitat that is highly

suited to their lifestyle. This leads to an overpopulation of an invasive species.

Other instances include the releasing of large cats, such as African lions, tigers, or mountain lions, in areas where they don’t naturally occur. These cats have large ranges, and if they are not released far enough from civilization, they can find their way into town where they can attack people.

“Elephant in the Living Room” provides some of the best insight on this situation, and I highly recommend it to those that have a curiosity about the severity of this situation.

Arguments have been made about what exotic animals are qualified as too dangerous to own as pets and which aren’t. Take, for instance, a small hedgehog. I know many people that own them as pets and the last time I checked, there have not been reports of hedgehogs attacking and killing their owners.

So do I believe there is a line? Sure I do. Where exactly is that line? I can’t say for sure. What I do know is that it is in the best interest for people to become more informed and educated on the situation so that they understand the ramifications that are associated with owning an exotic pet.

Respect for professors goes beyond the classroom Janelle Kesterson Opinion Editor It is not an uncommon occurrence for a class to end with the slapping of notebooks and the sound of zippers buzzing, however, it is disheartening when these sounds drown out the sound of an unfinished lecture. It is not only disrespectful to the professor in front of the class trying to teach, but it is equally disrespectful to the students in the class who are trying to listen to the full lecture.

I am not trying to paint myself as the perfect student by saying this, because I am nowhere near blameless. There have been times when I was the instigator who prompted the chorus of the ‘end of class song.’ Take a moment to put yourself in the shoes of the professor standing at the front of the class. They are only trying to do their job and provide the class with important information, but at that point, the students in the class are making it

clear that they could not care less.

Packing up before the end of class is not the only way that professors are disrespected though. Outbursts of talking and laughter are equally disrespectful.

The professor at the front of the class has gone through more school than most of us can imagine at this point in our lives, yet we interrupt class thinking that our trivial conversations could somehow be more enlightening than what our professors have to say.

When you walk into class, humble yourself and leave any entitlement at the door, because the person teaching you that day has a firm grasp on the content

of that class. And not only have they gone to a significant amount of effort to prepare the information they are presenting, they are spending their valuable time standing in front of you trying to help you get substance out of a class that you are paying to be in.

When you are in class, the professor is the authority figure. It is not hard to show up to class on time, pay attention and sit for the duration of the lecture. Not only does showing respect for authority apply to your higher education, but it also applies to your future career. If students treated their boss the same way that they treat some of their professors, they would be on the fast track to getting fired.

College is meant to be a preparation for the real world, so it is time that we started treating it as such. Authority is something that we will always have to deal with, and college is the last chance that we get to put respect into practice before the consequences affect more than a three credit hour course.

Know your Rights: Summary of the Bill of Rights The First Amendment grants citizens freedom of speech and religion, the freedom of the press, the right to peaceably assemble and the right to petition the government.

The Second Amendment grants citizens the right to bear arms because of the necessity of a well-regulated militia to the security of the nation.

The Third Amendment prevents soldiers from being quartered on property in times of peace without the consent of the owner; in times of war, soldiers will be quartered as described by the law.

The Fourth Amendment protects citizens from unreasonable search and seizure of their property without a warrant.

The Fifth Amendment grants citizens the right to the due process of law as well as freedom from self-incrimination.

The Sixth Amendment awards citizens the right to a speedy and public trial.

The Seventh Amendment guarantees the right to a trial by jury in civil cases.

The Eighth Amendment prevents excessive bail and cruel and unusual punishment.

The Ninth Amendment ensures that rights held but not listed will not be disparaged.

The Tenth Amendment gives power not delegated to the federal government to the states and the people.

The Importanc On this day 228 years ago, 39 men signed the Constitution, a document that grants the nation’s states and citizens with unalienable rights and protections from a tyrannical government, and provides the foundation on which our government is built even today. The document was ratified and made official just two years later, in 1791, with the approval of the Bill of Rights that was not part of the original draft.

The Bill of Rights, the first 10 amendments of the Constitution, protects citizens from government mistreatment as well as grants citizens certain rights that cannot be taken away by any government command.

Constitution Day, previously known as Citizenship Day before the passage of a law in 2004, celebrates the birth of the most integral document in American history, as well as the citizenship of the people at the time of signing.

Federal law mandates that all publicly funded institutions and all federal agencies, including schools that receive federal funding of any kind, provide programs and education on the Constitution each Constitution Day. From 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., today, Chadron State College hosts The Supreme Court in Review in the Bordeaux/Lakota rooms in the Student Center. A faculty panel will examine the role of the Constitution in our every day lives by reviewing some key Supreme Court cases decided during the October 2014 term. The justice studies department, Student Senate, and the dean of liberal arts sponsor the event. There will be free Constitution booklets given away to all attendees and an iPad Air 2 will be raffled.

We celebrate Constitution Day because this document, especially the Bill of Rights, is incomparably important to our identity as a free nation and as free citizens. It’s integral for us to know each and every right the Constitution designates to us in order for us to keep them; lack of knowledge can lead to complacency if or when the government passes unconstitutional laws.

“People need to remember where we came from and where we are going,” Laure Sinn, rangeland program coordinator, said when asked about why it is important to celebrate Constitution Day. “We take our freedom for granted. People are allowed to question government actions, unlike in other countries.

And as long as it’s not threatening or hurtful, we can make fun of anything. It’s our right.”

We have a responsibility as Americans to know what is happening in local, state, and federal legislatures in order to ensure the freedom of all American citizens of different races, ages, sexual orientations and religions; Constitution Day reminds us to do just that.

SEPT. 17, 2015 | The Eagle | csceagle.com

ce of Constitution Day So familiarize yourself with the political structure of your communities and hold politicians accountable for unconstitutional behavior in order to preserve the unalienable freedoms that we, as Americans, all carry with us daily.

The Eagles, now preparing for their third straight road game, against a tough team in Colorado School of Mines, Golden. Saturday’s match-up will also be CSC’s first conference contest.

“Mines rarely makes any mistakes or penalties so we have to play our game, and we will be ok,” Jackson said.

The Orediggers were picked to finish second in the RMAC this season, right behind Colorado State University-Pueblo. Mines has scored over 100 points in just two games.

Part of that is attributed to the RMAC Preseason Player of the Year, quarterback Justin Dvorak, junior of Tomball, Texas. With a highpowered offense and a solid defense, the Eagles will be put to the test in every aspect of the game.

“Everyone is going to have to do their job for four quarters,” Jackson said. “The offense needs to finish drives and defense will make stops.”

Rodeo team prepares for home competition Shae Brennan Reporter The Chadron State College Rodeo team opened its season on Friday at Central Wyoming College, Riverton. The men placed second and the women placed fourth.

Two members of the team placed first in their events. Shelby Winchell, graduate student of Scottsbluff, placed first in goat tying with times of 7.6 seconds and 7.7. Nate McFadden, senior of Dunning, placed first in the bareback competition with scores of 76 and 77.

“I’m really excited for our team this year, we have so much talent,” McFadden said. “I look for Chadron to be in the running for team title at the end of

the season.”

McFadden said he injured his wrist last spring and had to have surgery after the last rodeo, so he hasn’t been on a bucking horse since May. However, “It’s my free arm, so riding doesn’t bother me at all, and it felt great this weekend,” McFadden said.

Other standout performances include Lane Day, senior of Bartlett, who took third place in tie down roping, prepared over the summer by going to a few Nebraska state rodeos in the summer to “stay in competition shape.”

“I feel that this is, on paper, potentially one of the best men’s team in Chadron rodeo history,” Day said. “The coaches and Shawn Patras have gone

out of their way to see this team prosper.”

Colby Anders, junior of Bayard; Devin Dibbern, freshman of Riverdale, who placed fourth in tie down and eighth in team roping with his brother Colin Dibbern, freshman of Riverdale; and Justin Kissack, junior of Gillette, Wyoming, who placed third in bareback, are also high prospects this season.

“I really started preparing for the season the first few weeks of school by doing numerous workouts and other drills with Coaches Dustin Luper, Wyatt Clark, and my teammate Nate McFadden,” Kissack said. “My goal is to be in the top three at the end of the year and qualify for a trip to the College National Finals next June.”

“I am proud of the way this team competed in its first rodeo of the year,” Coach Dustin Luper said. “I am looking forward to the rodeo at home this weekend.”

Luper also said that he believes that the teams should “come out on top.”

The next rodeo is held in Chadron at the Fairgrounds this Friday through Sunday.

Slack will start at 1 p.m., Friday with a 7 p.m. performance.

Slack on Saturday will start at 9 a.m. with the performance starting at 7 p.m. Finals will follow at 10 a.m., Sunday.

“I want to invite everyone to come out and support the Eagle Rodeo team this weekend for our hometown rodeo at the fairgrounds., Day said.

Golfers earn 10th at RMAC tourney

Reporter The CSC Eagles’ golf team finished the RMAC Tournament in 10th place at Fox Hills Golf Club in Longmont, Colorado.

As a team, the Eagles finished day one with a team score 339, and day two 357 for a total of 696. Kelli Haynes, sophomore of Whitney, led the Eagles in the individual category with a 168, tying for 24th. Schuyler Wetzel, senior of Hot Springs, South Dakota, finished the tournament with a 173, only five strokes be-

hind Haynes.

“I didn’t shoot as low as I wanted to this week, so I will be working on my weak spots for the upcoming tournament,” Wetzel said.

Sam Rahmig, freshman of Gering, ended with a 177, tying for 48th place overall. Emma Harris, senior of Wahoo, tied for 51st place with a 178. Karson Langley, sophomore of Sidney, finished 67th place with a 197.

The Eagles will be competing in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, at Augustana College on Oct. 3 and 4 for a weekend tournament.

The Eagles, who were trying to ride the momentum of last weekend’s win, faced some more tough competition when they traveled to Kearney to participate in the University of Nebraska-Kearney Fall Classic.

The Eagles again saw some tough non-conference opponents and managed to let some close sets slip away from them through various errors.

The Eagles started the weekend off against the University of Illinois Springfield, who, before playing the Eagles, were 0-4 but still very competitive in their losses. Offensively, the Eagles were led by Rudy Leasau, a junior of LaMesa, California, who had a total of 16 kills with 44 total attempts. Sierra Winkle, a freshman of Tucson, Arizona, led the Eagles’ defense with a total of 15 digs. The game boiled down to which team could make the least amount of errors; a category CSC led by eight totaling 33 errors while the University of Illinois Springfield had 25 leading to the Eagles eventually losing, 3-1.

In the second game of the day, the Eagles faced off against the University of Nebraska-Kearney, who were 5-2 before playing the Eagles. Gaby Varela, a sophomore of Dorado, Puerto Rico, led the Eagles offensive attack with a total of six kills in 14 attempts in a three-set match, while the defense was anchored by Leasau who tallied eight digs. Even with such hard fought efforts the Eagles ended up losing, 3-0.

The next day, the Eagles faced off against the University of Sioux Falls; the Eagles had a good offensive efficiency from Lelalelei Nomura, senior of Pago Pago, American Samoa. Nomura led the Eagles with 10 kills in 30 total attempts. Chloe Guillen, a sophomore from San Antonio, had a big defensive showing against the Cougars, with a total of 15 digs. The Eagles fought hard against a tough non-conference opponent, but their efforts were not rewarded eventually losing, 3-1.

In the final game of the tournament, the Eagles faced off against the University of Mary Crusaders, the Eagles were led by Leasau with a total of 19 kills in a good offensive day for the Eagles. Defensively, Guillen had a total of 19 digs to help the Eagles fight hard and attempt to salvage a rough weekend.

The Eagles showed signs of life but could not pull of the win against the Crusaders eventually losing, 3-1.

“This weekend wasn’t what we hoped it would be,” Guillen said. “We took a big step in where we want to be getting ready for conference play.”

Guillen also said that everyone on the team made great improvements on and off the court.

Nostalgia for the 90s; the smell of popcorn filled the air and balloons waved as 1990’s babies gathered in the Gold Room to relive some of their childhood memories Monday night. Incredible music played in the background as the students grouped around tables to play board games and enjoy snacks.

Excited to bring back the kid in them for the night, students showed up early to start the evening off right. The game Sorry kicked off the night as four students gathered around the table for friendly competition. Students soon filled the tables to play Monopoly, Uno, Nintendo, M.A.S.H, Clue and Connect Four bringing back childhood memories.

The crowd was pleased with the music selections as most had memorized the lyrics and sang along to the perfect mix of 90s songs. The speakers blasted hits like “U Can’t Touch This” by MC Hammer, “I Want It That Way” by Backstreet Boys, “Baby Got Back” by Sir-Mix-a-Lot, “Barbie Girl” by Aqua, and “Hit Me Baby One More Time” by Britney Spears.

The noise level of the room grew as the competitive side of the students were unveiled. A game of Uno got intense as players threw down x2, skip, and reverse cards causing major havoc, while the Sorry table was the loudest as the competitors fought for the win!

Prizes were won every 30 minutes. Kianna Hobbs, 19, junior of Newcastle, Wyoming, won the first prize. Being able to select any small prize she chose “The Rugrats Movie.”

“I was super excited to win, come on, it’s ‘The Rugrats’!”

Hobbs said.

Fun and laughter filled the room and overflowed into the dorm hallways. As students passed by hearing all the activity, they began to join in on the festivities and played a game or two. Resident Assistant Zerek Jones, 21, senior of La Junta, Colorado, said “It was one of the more successful events so far this year.”

After the game portion of the event, a 90s dance was scheduled to complete the night. Unfortunately, students were exhausted from competitive game play and singingalong to the music, the night ended early and the dance was cancelled. So students, turn up your boom box and grab your favorite board games because in a world full of homework, tests, and project it’s great to remember the carefree times of childhood.

‘Let’s Roll’ inspires the American spirit Jordyn Hulinsky Managing Editor

On Sept. 11, 2001, I was in first grade, only 6 years old.

I don’t remember that day or what I was doing when the planes hit the Towers, but I remember that evening, when my dad got home from work.

My parents were in the kitchen, my mom was crying. I was old enough to realize something bad had happened. I asked my parents, and they told me some bad people flew some airplanes into some buildings in New York and a lot of people died.

Every year after 2001, on Sept. 11, my school would have a remembrance day to help us realize what happened that day and to honor those who died, but I still didn’t fully understand what happened on that day.

The day I read the book, “Let’s Roll,” by Lisa Beamer, is the day I understood fully the importance of that day to our country.

The book “Let’s Roll” starts off by describing the kind of person Todd Beamer was, and then explains Lisa and Todd’s relationship including the birth of their two sons

and the pregnancy of their third child.

The book then focuses on United Airlines Flight 93.

Flight 93 was the airplane that crashed in an empty field in Pennsylvania on Sept. 11, 2001. Todd was a passenger on this plane.

Seven crew members, five flight attendants, and 37 passengers were on board Flight 93. Out of those 37 passengers, four were Middle Eastern-looking men.

Flight 93 took off at 8:42 a.m., from New Jersey. At 8:46 a.m., Flight 11 flew into the North Tower and at 9:03 a.m., Flight 175 flew into the South Tower.

The book then talks about the events that transpired on Flight 93 after the four men highjacked the plane and the incidents that happen with the passengers on the flight. At 9:55 a.m., Todd says, “Are you guys ready? Okay!

Let’s roll!” At 10:03 a.m., the plane crashes into a field.

The hour and 17 minutes the passengers were on the plane is described in detail in the book. There were no survivors of this flight, but these memories were captured because Todd called a GTE Airfone Customer Care Center operator and stayed on the line with her throughout the entire struggle.

This book discusses how the families of those who lost their lives on that dreadful day dealt with the aftermath

and learned to live on. The book opened my eyes to the realization that these were real people who died, that there were real families that had to struggle with the aftermath of the situation.

I knew that the country was hurt because of the attacks on Sept. 11, but when the realization hit that real, innocent American people died on that day, my heart ached.

Those passengers of Flight 93 fought back, they sacrificed their lives to save the lives of others.

Sept. 11, 2001, was a tragic day for our country, but the day could have been even worse if the Flight 93 highjacking had succeeded, but it didn’t because the passengers of that flight decided to take action, to show everyone how the American spirit can survive even in a time for turmoil and fear.

When the country was hurt, and needed hope of some kind, we were lucky the true events of Flight 93 were revealed to us to show us we can still have hope in any situation, we can be strong even in the face of fear, and we can ALWAYS fight back.

I recommend everyone take the time to read the book “Let’s Roll,” not because it’s just a good reminder of those who sacrificed on that day, but also as an inspiration to always fight back and stand up for what you love.

Summers’ novel deals with internal struggle DeAndra Miller Contributor

In the novel “All the Rage” by Courtney Summers, the main character Romy Grey seems to be the only person in town not captivated and fooled by the town’s golden child, Kellan Turner.

Turner is the sheriff ’s son who uses his position and his father’s reputation to cover up his wrongful actions. Grey ends up on the bad side of everyone in town when she attempts to out Turner for all the wrong he has done.

Bullied and isolated, Grey struggles with the truth because as far as anyone else is considered, it’s all a lie. She isn’t from where they are all from, she is from the side of town where nothing good comes from, so in their minds, she couldn’t pos-

sibly be speaking the truth.

When a girl suddenly goes missing that has a connection to Grey and, surprisingly, Turner. Grey is then faced with the decision between speaking up and facing further adversity or staying quiet and dealing with the guilt.

Reminiscent of the novel “Speak” by Laurie Halse Andersen, “All the Rage” paints a painful picture of trying to speak when no one will listen.

This novel gives readers the realization that knowing the truth and actually speaking up are two different things. The truth may seem simple, but it can be more difficult than many initially imagine.

Prepare to follow Grey on a series of internal struggles and mental battles as she works to right the wrongs that have been done by others and her silence.
