Craig Jersild
Defensive Coordinator Craig Jersild resigned from Chadron State’s football team Monday, Oct. 12, The Eagle has learned according to multiple sources who spoke only on condition of anonymity. Following an altercation during an Oct. 6 practice between Jersild and senior wide receiver Cole Thurness, 22, of Rapid
City, South Dakota, Jersild and Thurness were suspended for the Eagles’ 10-7 loss against Colorado Mesa Oct. 10. According to multiple sources the altercation began with Thurness throwing punches at an Eagle defensive back who hit a receiver during the team’s contactless tag-off drill. The scrum between the two players led to Jersild punching Thurness’s helmet, putting the player in a headlock and removing his helmet before the team deescalated the situation.
Chadron State College’s Human Resources confirmed Tuesday that Jersild is no longer employed at CSC. Wednesday morning Chadron State Athletic Director Joel Smith again declined to comment on Jersild’s departure, citing personnel reasons. The Eagle has attempted to reach Jersild for comment but has been unable to contact the former coach.

Senate still debates You@CSC funding u By Sullivan Jones Reporter
During Monday’s meeting, Student Senate continued discussing funding Chadron State College’s You@CSC website after Student Activities Coordinator Megan Northrup proposed an $8,500 request at the previous senate meeting. The senate activity fee board rejected her proposal and cited limited number of student users and lack of time spent on the website as reasoning for its decision. AFB also said the ultimate decision would be the responsibility of the whole senate. “Although this is very new, we were very excited with the amount of users and the time and that’s OK that you guys aren’t as excited as we were,” Northrup said. “That’s great feedback.” Other senators discussed finding a substitute app or website for mental health services if the You@CSC website
does not eventually receive funding. “Eight thousand dollars is a lot of money,” Student Trustee Konery Klueber said. “Let’s use that eight thousand dollars to find a resource that is effective.” Senate will continue deliberations for at least one more meeting before officially rejecting or approving the proposal. In another matter, senate approved BriYanna Lyon, 22, senior of Fountain, Colorado, to fill one of the newly created diversity senator positions. “I really joined to use my last bit of time here to be an advocate for students, to use the senate more, so that there can be change made by the students for the students,” Lyon said.

Rise in COVID-19 cases threatens state’s hospitals
u By Kaitlyn Yuen Reporter
Earlier this month, University of Nebraska Medical Center experts warned that rising COVID-19 cases statewide could overwhelm hospitals by early winter if the current trend is not stunted. In a prepared statement, John Lowe, UNMC’s assistant vice chancellor for inter-professional health security training and education, warned that “the largest surge of cases and hospitalizations we have seen is currently among us.” The statement underscored the importance of wearing face coverings in public, avoiding large gatherings, maintaining a six-foot distance from others and frequently washing hands. Lowe also stated that cases and hospitalizations are equal to the peak in May, and are rapidly rising to record levels. Hospitals that are currently relied upon for COVID-19
admissions and treatment are more than 85% full, he said. Lowe described the situation like the table game “Jenga.” “As the structure of protection weakens, our case counts are accelerating,” Lowe said in the statement. He also acknowledged that many people statewide are suffering from pandemic fatigue, but warned it is important to keep following COVID-19 guidelines. “We are hearing too many COVID-19 patient stories that start with ‘I was at a party’ or ‘I visited extended family and everyone seemed well at the time,’” Lowe said. “We cannot let down our guard. We know how to control transmission in our community. The steps are straightforward.” “It is happening here,” Chadron Community Hospital’s Chief Nursing Officer Alisha Obando said. CCH’s Chief Financial Officer Jennifer Brown concurred.
“It was only a matter of time that there would be a rise of cases in our area,” Brown said. “What they’re hearing on the state level is also applicable on the local level when it comes to increased cases and increased hospitalizations.” Obando said CCH has been bracing since February for a local surge. In addition to preparing staffing and facilities to handle the expected surge in COVID-19 admissions, the hospital also designated specialized isolation rooms. Obando said that CCH officials are asking for no visitors now because of risks. Obando also said that the hospital is following Gov. Pete Ricketts’ latest mandate requiring hospitals to reserve 10% of beds for COVID-19 patients. Brown said the hospital offers TestNebraska 7-9 a.m. Mondays and Fridays. Obando said that is important for the public to continue social
Change is in the heart of CSC’s Diversity Club u By Estabon Bozeman Reporter
Students on campus took it upon themselves to address the diversity issues on campus by implementing a revamped Diversity Club. President Jordan Morris sophomore, of Apple Valley, Minnesota felt it was time for change on CSC’s campus as did many other students. It has been expressed in previous meetings that students feel that the many cultures across campus are not recognized and celebrated as they should be. In this seemingly separated community, students wanted a way to bring the many different cultures together. “With this Diversity Club we want to bring everyone together, both students on the Chadron State campus as well as the Chadron community,” said Secretary Earl Johnson Jr, sophomore of Prosper, Texas. On Tuesday the Diversity Club held their second meeting where students were assigned to groups and were given discussion questions, the questions varied from treatment on sports teams to treatment in the classroom or around the community. Students were asked to give honest answers for a constructive conversation at the end of the meeting. “It was an opportunity for us to see where
everyone’s mind is, and on top of that we got a chance to see how much us students really relate to one another, when it comes to our experiences here in Chadron,” Naishaun Jernigan, sophomore of Springfield, Massachusetts, when asked about his thoughts of the meeting. This Diversity Club seems to be on the right track with engaged, open and determined students at the head of the club, but this club is not just supported by students, the Diversity Club is also supported by the Diversity committee, which is a presidential committee allowing the club access to needed funds for activities they would want to put on. Ted Tewahade, Title IX coordinator, is the chair of the Diversity committee. He said that “the Diversity committee has a new mission, and is looking for the club to implement achievable steps that will allow Chadron State to move forward.” Morris said he “is proud of the turnout of these past two meetings, especially for not advertising it, I think we had some really great conversations these past two meetings and I’m excited to see where they go.” He wants the club to be a safe space for students to come together to talk about difficult situations. The Diversity Club meets every Tuesday at 7 p.m. in the Student Center.
distancing and wearing a mask. She noted those two practices have “made an extreme impact on (reducing) the spread of COVID-19.” Ann Buchmann, professor of biology, also noted Chadron’s COVID-19 increase. “The biggest thing is for people to do the things we’ve been told,” Buchmann said. “Take it seriously if you’ve been told to quarantine.” Buchmann reiterated the importance of people following guidelines. “We need to practice those skills that we have been told all along,” she said, adding that winter will bring more activities, and people, indoors, so following COVID-19 safety procedures is necessary. She stressed that failing to follow spread prevention practices brings contagiousness closer to vulnerable members of the community. “It’s moving into the Midwest, into those rural communities that
haven’t experienced it yet,” she said. “The more that we try to do to protect our community and our vulnerable people, the better off we all will be in terms of keeping the number of cases down.” Buchmann said it is vital to be good citizens and seriously consider others during the pandemic. “It’s important to think about your more compromised fellow peers,” Buchmann said, adding that some students on campus experience already-compromised immune systems. Buchmann said following precautions is important; notably, it keeps hospital beds open for those who need them. She also said that if a person goes to a clinic, it is important for them to be honest and open about suffering any COVID-19 symptoms to attending clinicians, because those clinicians might be suffering underlying conditions that could jeopardize their lives.

EDITORIAL
The Eagle staff speaks for itself, no one else Last week The Eagle staff wrote an editorial endorsing Sen. Joe Biden for president. In so doing, we assumed that an editorial written under the label “As We See It” would be understood by readers to mean that we, the student editorial staff, crafted that piece. Journalism 101 - Never. Assume. Anything. Our Biden endorsement triggered several unhappy reader responses. That did not surprise us. But two things did surprise us: 1. With one exception, the negative responses were sent to CSC President Randy Rhine, not us. 2. Those who complained to Rhine somehow believed that The Eagle is a public relations publication distributed by the college. It is not. So let us be clear: The Eagle student staff speaks for itself, no one else, including and especially the college. Opinions expressed in editorials or individual student columns belong to the student authors, not the college. Item No. 2 puzzled us. In fact, we were so puzzled that we decided to examine how it was possible for readers, who have been exposed to The Eagle for the past 100 years, could conclude we are anything but a student newspaper. We examined our newspaper and discovered two possibilities that might contribute to reader confusion. The first possibility was our front page slogan, which, until today, read: “The voice of Chadron State College since 1920.” That slogan first appeared in The Eagle’s inaugural edition of the spring term, January 2004. We interpreted it to mean the voice of CSC students since 1920. We inherited it and kept it. But since the word “students” is not in the slogan, we can see how some readers might interpret it to mean the voice of the college as a whole since 1920. We addressed that issue this week and

Skinwalkers are to be feared by all u By Mackenzie Dahlberg Opinion Editor
Halloween is the time of year that supernatural creatures are present to try and scare people. Most scary stories have some form of creature, whether it’s ghosts, zombies, or vampires. For me, there is one supernatural creature that will remain consistent with each scary story that features it. Those stories will freak me out nine times out of 10, and this creature is the Skinwalker. This creature comes from the Navajo culture, where they are considered to be dangerous witches. These witches are harmful due to their ability to
turn into, control, and disguise themselves as any animal, but normally are seen as coyotes, wolves, bears, or other predatory animal. With the different concepts of magic, there is normally a light and dark side. Within the Navajo, this difference is present in their lives, the light side of magic being associated with medicine men. The way to become a Skinwalker is a dark act in itself. The person has to be initiated by a secret society after they commit what is considered the evilest of deeds, killing a close family member which normally ended up being siblings. Upon completing this task,

the individual acquired the supernatural powers of a Skinwalker. This includes shapeshifting, reading minds, controlling a person’s thoughts and behavior, causing disease and illness, destroying property, and causing death. It’s also believed
that they can control creates, reanimate corpses. They are fast, agile, impossible to catch, and are quite difficult to kill. It’s considered taboo for the Navajo to wear predatory animal skin and to talk about the creature due to fear of being punished by Skinwalkers. Stories of these creatures are usually encountering of a strange form of partially human and animal forms. There have been stories of people walking by themselves, hanging out with friends at night, or even driving down the highway with a parent. The idea that an animal you see may appear slightly off, and the reason is because it is
a human that has the ability to disguise itself gives me goosebumps. It could also be from the act being killing a close family member, that scares me as well, because of how close I am to my siblings and family. Being controlled or just being unable to do anything against this creature if I come across one could be another reason. Whatever the reason is for disliking this creature more than others, I’m just lucky that I don’t live in an area where most of these encounters happen. If I find myself in New Mexico or Arizona anytime soon, I will not be traveling by myself and I will constantly be on high alert.

How to attend a zoom conference u By Abigail Swanson Columnist
This weekend I attended the Sigma Tau Delta High Plains Regional Conference. Last year that meant driving for hours. Because of plague things, I attended from the comfort of my own dorm room. I missed the opportunity to leave Chadron and get to know people better through traveling, but I enjoyed some aspects of the conference regardless. Zoom conferences here to stay. In fact, even when travel is encouraged again, there will still be a multitude of zoom meetings and conferences.
Therefore, to boost your online conference experience I thought I’d share a few tips I discovered over the weekend. Be involved in something. After all, if you are on your phone the whole time, why are you even going? The keynote address opened the conference. Personally, I was curious about the speaker, so I made sure to be in a well lit area with a calm background and turned on my camera. In the first hour or two of the conference I tried to make a good impression. I made sure to ask some intelligent questions. That way, even though I turned off my camera for later portions of the conference, they had a general impres-

The mummy By Devin Fulton Directed by Karl Freund in 1932, The Mummy is a classic horror film about Imhotep, an Egyptian mummy who is revived through “The Scroll of Thoth” read by Archaeologist-assistant Ralph Norton. Upon reading the magic scroll, Imhotep rises from his mummified state, leading to Norton’s hysterical laughter and mind losing control while the mummy flees with the scroll. Previously buried alive, Imhotep finds himself roaming Egypt a decade later disguised as a human in search of Princess Anck-su-namun to resurrect his forbidden lover. However, Imhotep discovers Helen Grosvenor, an archaeologist who resembles the mummy’s desired princess. The revived mummy attempts to kill Grosvenor for the purpose of mummifying and resurrecting her to create his immortal bride. During Imhotep’s murder attempt, Grosvenor prays to Isis, an Egyptian goddess, to rescue her. After the prayer, a nearby statue of Isis emits a flash that leads to the burning of Imhotep’s scroll. Once the scroll is burned, the curse of immortality is lifted and leads to Imhotep vanishing into dust. The 1932 version of The Mummy served as a classic horror but provided more romance than its 1999 remake directed by Stephen Sommers. The 1999 horror movie features more action and adventure with Brendan Fraser as the lead. The 1932 movie’s budget was $132,000 while the 1999 remake’s budget was $80 million. Both films were distributed by Universal Studios.
Creature from the black lagoon By Sullivan Jones
Gill-man, also known by the title of the 1954 Universal Studios film, “Creature from The Black Lagoon,” is a monster which originated and gained popularity from the film. As the name implies, Gillman is part-human, part-fish – prominently having the ability to breath in and out of water. The idea for the creature was born when film Producer William Alland allegedly heard a story about half-human, half-fish species living in the Amazon River and preying on its residents. The 1954 movie is set in the Amazon Rain forest as a team of scientists em tion. The group quickly discovers fossilized evidence of a human-related anim teristics.

Frankenstein’s Monster By McKenzie Durand The beloved monster of Frankenstein was created by Mary Shelley in her 1818 novel titled “Frankenstein”, or “The Modern Prometheus”. The novel follows the young scientist Victor Frankenstein, and his unorthodox experimentation to create a creature that stood 8 feet tall, and was rather hideous: “His limbs were in proportion, and I had selected his features as beautiful. Beautiful! Great God! His yellow skin scarcely covered the work of muscles and arteries beneath; his hair was of a lustrous black, and flowing; his teeth of a pearly whiteness; but these luxuriances only formed a more horrid contrast with his watery eyes, that seemed almost of the same color as the dun-white sockets in which they were set, his shriveled complexion and straight black lips,” the novel reads. The monster in the novel was never given a name. Frankenstein refers to his creature with monikers such as “creature”, but the creation does refer to himself as a monster, as do the other townsfolk at the end of the novel. The 1931 film Starring Boris Karloff treated the creature’s name in an analogous way to Shelley, simply referring to the creation as “the monster”. However, the creation became known simply to the public as “Frankenstein.” Shelley’s legacy lives on far beyond her original novel, with her creation making appearances in popular children’s films, as a Halloween costume, or as a good spooky movie to watch reminiscent of the golden age of Hollywood. Although nameless, Frankenstein’s monster has carried on his name, and remains one of the most iconic monsters today.

“In many a distant village there exists the Legend of the Werewolf or Wolf Man…a legend of a strange mortal man with the hair and fangs of an unearthly beast…his hideous howl a dirge of death-“ So reads the opening crawl of Universal Pictures’ “The Wolf Man,” filmed in 1941, starring legendary leading monster-men Lon Chaney Jr. as the wolf man and Bela Lugosi as Bela the Gypsy. Though the movie is likely the most famous werewolf film of all time, and the first to spawn a franchise featuring the monster, “The Wolf Man” was far from the first film to feature a fearsome lycanthrope. The legend of the werewolf predates Hollywood by hundreds of the years, dating back as far as “The Epic of Gilgamesh,” and possibly farther. For sure the legendary creature dates back to Greek and Roman times as the myth of King Lycaon, who was turned to a wolf by an angry Zeus. Early Nordic history also tells tale of humans turning to wolves. “The Werewolf,” a silent short film released in 1913, is reportedly the first appearance of the creature on film. In the movie, after believing she’s been abandoned by her husband, a Navajo woman becomes a witch and seeks revenge against men by changing to a werewolf. Legend has it every print of the 18-minute-long movie in a fire at Universal Studios in 1924. At least two other movies predate Chaney as the wolf man, “Wolf Blood” another silent movie produced in 1925, and “Werewolf of London,” also a Universal Pictures film, in 1935. Jack Pierce, legendary Hollywood make-up artist and monster maker, originally designed Chaney Jr.’s werewolf for actor Henry Hull for use in “Werewolf of London,” but a disagreement over what Hull’s werewolf should look like left Pierce to recycle the original design for the later film. “The Wolf Man” proved popular enough to spawn a number of sequels, all of which featured Chaney Jr., who was the only Universal Pictures monster-man to reprise his monster role in all of its appearances. The first of the sequels was 1943’s “Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man,” which finds Chaney Jr. as a wolf man fighting Lugosi as Frankenstein’s monster. In 1944 Chaney returned to the character in “House of Frankenstein,” and again in 1945 in “House of Dracula” where the werewolf is eventually cured. Even so, the Chaney and the character were resurrected a fourth time in 1948 in the comedy “Abbot and Costello Meet Frankenstein.” In 2010 “The Wolf Man” was remade featuring Benicio del Toro as the werewolf. The remake was met with mixed reviews.

Pushing his cart, which is neatly lined with cleaning supplies, Chris Speirs, who has worked as a custodian at CSC for nearly eight years, stops at the entrance of the next Old Admin classroom. He disinfects a piece of cloth before wiping down the doorknob. Then, he unloads his usual cleansing tools like rags and disinfectant before grabbing a new cleansing device - a bright green misting gun adopted by custodians campus-wide since the pandemic struck. The job hasn’t changed that drastically since COVID struck, he thinks aloud, it’s just more emphasized. Custodians around campus have adopted several procedure changes since COVID-19 struck last March. While many, like Speirs, have mentioned, their duties haven’t necessarily changed, they’re simply more thorough. “We would wipe down door knobs and stuff anyway,” Speirs said, “but now there’s a lot more emphasis on (doing it) as often as you can. (We clean) things we frequently touch, doors when leaving the building, drinking fountains.” Speirs explained the college has supplied custodians with a lot of new cleaning supplies and chemicals, as well as lining hallways with hand sanitizer for students. “You can’t hardly walk 20 feet in Old Admin without running into hand sanitizers.” He said with a chuckle. Speirs said that recent custodial training has focused on not cutting corners, but he, along with others, were thorough even before the outbreak. Misting guns, used on everything from tabletops to water fountains to soft furniture, are a recent addition to custodians’ arsenals. “It puts an electrostatic charge into the mist so that when it goes out it clings to the surface,” Speirs said. He added that this is used once or twice a day, before or after classes. Several professors require students to clean their desks before and after classes, a task Speirs has noticed.
“I think they’re doing a pretty good job of wiping down before classes,” he said. “ I’m not in here during the classes, so I don’t necessarily see what they’re doing.” He added that he can usually tell which classes wipe down tables judging by how many paper towels are in a classroom’s waste basket. Although the concern for cleanliness has increased since COVID-19, Speirs said he hasn’t worked extra hours, and hasn’t heard of any custodians working more frequently. “Usually, we can get the job done in our time,” he said. Rose Fankhauser, custodian at Crites for nearly five years, agreed with Speirs that cleaning procedures haven’t changed much but have become more detailed. Fankhauser, however, brought up the sometimes-irritable mask-wearing situation. “I feel like I need more breaks (now) because wearing (masks) all the time can get so hot and we’re moving all the time,” she said. “Sometimes I get so hot that the mask is just wet.” Kim Clark, a CSC custodian since 2011 and custodian at King’s Library since 2017, said she and her fellow workers take breaks in custodial closets when needed. “What I normally do is I go in there and take off my mask and I might sit down and drink some water or coffee and just take a little break and come back out,” she said. Fankhauser noted that she and many custodians don’t take water breaks as often since the pandemic. “I probably wouldn’t (drink water) unless I’m by myself or in my closet,” she said. “We’re always supposed to wear a mask,” she said, “because you never know. I could be contagious and not even know it.” While most custodians agree students are usually diligent about wearing masks, this isn’t always the case. “Some people don’t take it as seriously as others,” Clark said, “and that creates some sort of conflict. I’ve seen that in the library. Personally, I feel that if I don’t wear a mask, I’m not setting a good example to students.”

Beefwatch webinar teaches cattle producers u By Kamryn Kozisek Ag and Range Editor
The Beefwatch program is put on by University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL) to help beef producers. The program has a podcast, a monthly newsletter and has a webinar series that began in October. The program uses beef specialists from different fields within the beef industry to help beef producers increase efficiency and increase their profit. The newsletter is designed to help producers in raising beef in Nebraska. Topics include fly control, adding enterprises, disease information, equipment use and feed types. The podcast follows the newsletter on topics and is also used to answer questions that producers may have. The webinar series began in October with speakers working to improve the profitability of Nebras-
ka’s beef producers. Recordings of previous presentations are available on UNL’s website. Next month the Beefwatch program is hosting a webinar that begins at 8 p.m. on Nov. 3, 10, 17 and 24. This program will have speakers each day and the last day of the conference will be used to answer questions. This webinar is open to anyone and is free to join on UNL’s website. On Nov. 3 key speaker Karla Wilke from the Panhandle Research Extension Center will be speaking on drylotting cattle and how to feed them. This talk is based on limit-feeding cattle for slaughter and limit-feeding for gestating or lactating cows. Wilke has expertise on cow/calf, range management, alternative feeds and calf nutrition. On the second day of the conference Mary Drewnoski will be
speaking on the specifics of grazing corn residue. This presentation will include how to manage and monitor corn residue grazing and what issues to look out for. Drewnoski is a beef systems associate specialist professor at UNL with an expertise in ruminant nutrition. On Nov. 17 Travis Mulliniks from West Central Research and Extension Center is speaking on body condition scoring. Mulliniks speech will include on how to score cattle body conditions, when to score cattle and what different body scores mean. Mulliniks is a range beef specialist, most specifically his expertise is in ruminant nutrition. The last day of the webinar will be open to producers to ask questions about the webinar or about any level of beef production. All of the speakers will be available to answer questions at that time.

Over a dozen runners collide in a pileup 400 meters into the men’s 8-kilometer race during the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Championship, Saturday in Colorado Springs Colorado.
Runners tumble to last place finish u By Devin Fulton Sports Editor
Chadron State’s cross country teams finished last during the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Championship as the men’s team placed 11th and the women’s placed 12th, Saturday, in Colorado Springs, Colorado. “Well obviously we were expecting more, we wanted more than that,” Head Cross Country Coach Luke Karamitros said. “We wrote down our team goals and objectives earlier in the year and we wanted to be higher than that.” In the men’s 8-kilometer, four-lap race, a pileup of over 10 runners occurred 400 meters into
the race. Two CSC runners fell in the collision including Noah Burtis, sophomore of Berthoud, Colorado, who’s shoe was knocked loose as a result. “Before the pile up, when it was packed and tight, I was thinking to myself, ‘I’ve never fallen in a race, today’s not going to be the first’” Burtis said. “I saw a few guys in front of me tumble and trying to avoid falling – well, I fell and landed on all-fours and got spiked in the hand. I got up and noticed my shoe was half on.” Burtis said he ran the first lap of the race with his shoe halfway on, but felt it falling off at the top of a hill during the second lap. “I was thinking I could go so much faster if I didn’t have a shoe on,” He said. “So, I kicked it off
- and I wasn’t thinking much, I should’ve probably put it back on, it would’ve probably been the smarter choice. But I tried to keep up as best as I could.” After placing as the Eagles’ third and second fastest runner during the team’s previous two meets, Burtis found himself near last place as he ran 1.5 miles wearing one shoe. “My foot hurt,” He said. “There were several times I stepped on rocks, it slowed me down a lot. One of the last guys to finish, I debated dropping out of the race, but I thought how coach told us how we have to fight our battles and during every race we are going to make a choice.

Blanford leaves a legacy u By Brandon Davenport Managing Editor
Gabriel “Gabe” Blanford, 17, who signed as an official member of the Chadron State men’s basketball team on Oct. 21, 2019, died Friday, of complications of Trichothiodystrophy (TTD), nearly a year after his signing. Since his signing last October through Team IMPACT, an organization that matches children facing serious and chronic illnesses with college athletics, Blanford was a mainstay of the men’s basketball team. He attended practices, and could be found on gameday near the Eagle’s bench. His teammates would also visit him at school or hang out during physical therapy. “The way Gabe treated us all of the time is how we wish we treated each other half the time,” Houston Reed, who coached the Eagle’s men’s basketball team but has since moved on to coach at the University of Northern Colorado, said. Reed describes Blanford as being as tough, mindful, accepting and energetic as any young person he’s had the opportunity to work with. “Gabe became a member of our team and I viewed him as one of our players and I still do today.” Reed credits Blanford with making him a better man and coach. “In leaving his time on Earth he left his community, family, school and all those around him in a better place because of who he was,” Reed said. “That’s called a legacy.” Blanford was diagnosed with TTD when he was 11. In the early years he could stand, walk, and hold things in his hands, but those abilities were slowly torn away from him by the illness, according to his mother Angie Flesner. “I hope that his legacy is resilience and that you can still find joy in the small things,” she said. During his time as an Eagle, Blanford left a lasting

You just can’t take it for granted.” According to his teammates, Blanford always brought energy and a smile whenever he came to the gym. “He was excited to be there and it changed my outlook,” teammate Devin Buderus, junior of Scottsbluff, said. “It made me more grateful for the position I’m in.” Members of CSC’s men’s basketball team said though they knew it could happen, Blandford’s death on Friday came as a surprise. “You’re sad, but you’re glad he’s not in Courtesy Photo pain anymore,” Delimont said. “He’s free A photo collage tweeted by former CSC Men’s Basketball Coach Houston Reed and I think he’s in a good place watching depicts Gabe Blanford and his time as a member of the Eagle’s hoops team. over everyone.” “When I think about it, it blows my mind how much Blanford’s mother isn’t surprised his (the CSC men’s basketball team) cared about him.

Thurness returned to play following his one game suspension and had 175 yards, one touchdown through the air and one rushing touchdown during the team’s 41-25 win over South Dakota School of Mines, Saturday, Oct. 17 at Elliott Field. Two weeks after his suspension, the Thurness family was once again in the news when they dedicated the Thurness Family Nutrition Center in the Armstrong Building Oct. 19. Eagles Head Coach Jay Long has declined to comment on the altercation, but addressed Jersild’s de-
parture. “I thank Coach Jersild for his service to the Chadron State football program and wish him luck with his future plans,” Long said in an email to The Eagle. Prior to serving as the team’s defensive coordinator in 2019, Jersild spent eight seasons as the special teams and recruiting coordinator starting in 2010. Jersild, often referred to as “Coach Jersey” began his first stint with CSC in 1992 as a graduate assistant when he coached the team’s defensive backs until 1995.

Runners,
Watching his favorite players like Michael Jordan and Ray Allen on television, Delimont was an avid basketball fan since he could walk. Brady Delimont, 23, senior of Ainsworth, began playing basketball at a young age. Not only did he watch his favorite players on television, he also had an idol in his hometown. Delimont watched Jesse Carr, graduate of Ainsworth in 2008, become successful through basketball that made his love for the game grow stronger. Delimont’s high school accolades include the Nebraska state record for most career three-pointers with 320. He also holds the school record for most points scored in a season with 655 and ended his high school career with 1888 points. His team made the
state championship twice and in 2014, his team was a runner-up. Delimont graduated high school in 2016. He went to University of South Dakota in Vermillion after graduation where he was a business major and a part of the basketball team. After spending a year in Vermillion, USD got a new head coach. Delimont did not want to play for someone who did not recruit him, so he started looking for another college. Former Chadron State Basketball Coach Houston Reed was recruiting Delimont for a long time. He thought it was a good idea to check out CSC’s basketball program and felt at home during his visit. “One thing I really like about this program and team is watching all the success we have made after watching all the struggles we have gone through as a team,” Delimont
said. Since Delimont transferred to CSC in 2018, the team has been building its culture and tradition. He likes being a part of a team which features the teammate’s who surround Delimont. “He’s going to set us up for success in the future,” Delimont said in regard to the new coach. Coach Shane Paben has high energy and expects a lot out of the team in hopes they can go far this season and seasons to come. Like most athletes, Delimont is hoping to play a full season starting in November. During this season, he wants to see the basketball program improve to keep its tradition alive. Following graduation in spring 2021, Delimont hopes to play overseas, but will exercise his business degree in Nebraska if COVID-19 restricts travel.

I realized that, if I’m going to finish dead last with a bloody sock, I’m going to do it.” Burtis placed 98th-of-103 contestants with a 29:42.40 time. Jesse Jaramillo, sophomore of Scottsbluff, placed 67th and led CSC’s men’s team with a 27:28.40 time. Ethan Roberts, freshman of Rapid City, South Dakota, placed 73rd with a 29:51.10 time while Garrett Avery, sophomore of Sheridan, Wyoming, finished six seconds later for the 75th spot. Madison Watson, senior of Mitchell, placed 60th-of-98 runners and led CSC’s women’s team with a 24:16.40 time in the women’s 6-kilometer race. Tukker Romey, freshman of Gering, placed 68th with a 24:24.30 time and Emma Willadsen, senior of Eaton, Colorado, finished two seconds later to place 69th.

Hannah Wilkie, freshman of Rangely, Colorado, placed 95th with a 27:12.80 time. Wilkie was unable to run the two weeks prior to the RMAC championship due to a minor hip injury, according to Karamitros. “I think any sport can relate to this, but ours in particular, there are so many trials and tribulations you have to go through,” Karamitros said. “Whether it’s injury, mental fatigue or losing self-confidence be-
cause things aren’t going your way. Our sport requires so much mental fortitude.” Next week, the distance runners practice again before CSC’s intrasquad track meet, Nov. 21, at the Nelson Physical Activity Center Indoor Arena. Karamitros said the team will use winter break to self-reflect, regain focus and prepare for the indoor and outdoor track season in spring 2021. According to Karamitros, training during winter break is more valuable than summer because the cold weather builds mental toughness and resilience. “The winter months are even more challenging to go out in the cold,” He said. “Running on slick ice and snow, to wake up early when it’s completely frigid and our athletes live in Wyoming or South Dakota and all of these crazy places that aren’t very conducive for running. We have to make the most of it. If we fall asleep during this time, it pretty much negates all of what we’re capable of being able to do come indoor and even outdoor season.” The men’s and women’s cross country teams feature nine total freshmen.

Artists create through lockdown

Latest Memorial Hall gallery displays artwork made during online spring semester courses u By Kamryn Kozisek Reporter
CSC art students had to use creativity to work through the 2020 spring semester without the materials or tools that they began the semester using. Not only students had to channel creativity, CSC art professors also found themselves having to change assignments to fit different materials that students had at home. “We really had to revamp the assignments and projects that we had planned,” said Mary Donahue. “We had to think about what materials students had with them in quarantine to work with.” The gallery was put together by the CSC art faculty Mary Donahue, Laura Bentz and Trudy Denham. The three teachers put together the gallery to show the work that the students did despite the challenges. “We thought students deserved
recognition for their hard work” Donahue said. Student projects vary from sculptures to drawings and from graphic designs to ceramic pieces. Near each piece there is an informational flyer about the student and the piece. Each flyer also includes the idea behind the design and what the student used to make it. Donahue feels that the pieces show how the students felt while in lockdown and shows some of the frustrations of remote learning. “Art is a very hands-on major,” Donahue said, “Students had to use what they had on hand and it can be challenging to do that. I think that most of the pieces are a reflection of how the students felt while they were in lockdown.” The student works from the spring 2020 semester are on display in the main art gallery in Memorial Hall. The gallery is open to the public, 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.
