In addition to the online component, Parker spent a week at the “It’smuseum.truly an incredible place that can’t be completely absorbed in a single day. We crawled all over the museum with any free time we had,” he said.
Parker’s work culminated with a project called an Ignite Talk that seminar organizers require participants to present, after returning home, to their co-workers, administrators, and regional educators.“Weeach presented to the rest of the group to demonstrate what we planned to take away from the seminar and present to others as professional development,” he said. “It is hoped that by making people more aware of propaganda and media literacy, we can help students to learn from the past and to make informed decisions when dealing with media of all sorts, whether it be mainstream media or social media.”
As the sole teacher in the alternative program for North Platte High School, Parker teaches mainly juniors and seniors along with a few underclassmen. Since 2012, he has taught U.S. History, World History, Government, Algebra 1 and 2, English, Earth Science, Physical Science, Biology, Personal Finance, and Strength and Conditioning. He is also the school’s powerlifting coach.
Parker has a wall in his classroom covered in posters from across the world that he calls the Art Of War.
Although he considered himself well-informed about WWII, he said he was exposed to propaganda materials he had never encountered before.
CSC graduate student Arttie Parker of North Platte earned the opportunity to attend what his professor Tom Smith calls a prestigious seminar this summer.
“I’m excited about the project, but even more, I’m hopeful it will open some eyes and be a valuable tool in my school district, as well as others. I came away from the seminar more excited about my [CSC graduate] project. I’m con dent I am headed in the right direction with the project because I think it has practical application for any school that wishes to pursue World War II and/or Holocaust studies with modern applications,” Parker said.

Now,with.banning books is not a new concept in school systems and it isn’t surprising that this is happening. Last year, the graphic novel “Maus” by Art Spiegelman was banned from school curric ulum in Tennessee because of violence, nudity and profanity. The book is a retelling of Spiegelman’s father’s experiences as a Polish Jew that survived the Holocaust.

“Looking for Alaska” is nothing like “Maus”, but I still think it’s an important piece of fiction for youngTheadults.people wanting to ban Green’s book called it pornography because of certain sexual scenes that happen. And if anyone has ever read the book, they wouldn’t necessarily think that word was an appropriate description. Instead, I’d describe the book as an homage to being a teenager. Whether par ents like it or not, teenagers think about sex and even have sex quite a bit. It’s just the reality of growing up. But the story is about more than that. It talks about death and finding your identity, all things that teens should learn to do.

It’s not right that groups of close-mind ed individuals get to decided that the next generation has to follow in those same footsteps. Teen agers should not have to look at the world through rose-colored glasses only to have them pulled off when they enter the ‘real world.’ That is how we end up in an unaccepting world, where those ‘undesirable’ things we don’t talk about are seen as taboo.

When land managers say this, they are talking about wild horses. Its hard to be a supporter of natural lands and ecosystems and be a fan of wildWildhorses.horses have long sense been a difficult problem to manage for anyone and a big part of it is an imal activism.

The Eagles had started the weekend at Black Hills state for another 3-5 win. The team won 25-23, 25-18, 18-25, 13-15 and finally 15-12.
“
“We have to focus on ourselves and getting back to our game,” CSC Head Football Coach Jay Long said. “I really, really want our guys, this week, to focus on ex ecution against Western Colorado, and when we have an opportunity to make a play, we have got to make it.”
With 4:09 remaining in the second quarter, offensive lineman Michael DeCamillis, junior of Westminster, Colora do, dives for a fumble in the end zone, which he recovered for a touchdown in Saturday’s game against the Black Hills State University Yellow Jackets at Elliott Field, Don Beebe Stadium. BHSU, ranked No. 1 in the RMAC, beat the Eagles 32-23.
The Eagle defense responded well after that and held the Yellow Jackets to zero points in the first quarter. The Yellow Jackets scored their first points after a long sev en-minute drive which ended in a 27-yard field goal by kicker Coleman Chapman.

Black Hills State, at 3-0 and ranked No. 1 in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference, beat the now 0-3 Eagles, 32-23.
Many people, both CSC students and fans, were skeptical of the Eagles’ ability to perform against topranked Black Hill State. While much was to be desired of the team’s output, the Eagles look to do well against the Mountaineers who are ranked fifth in the RMAC.
For the second week in a row, both sides of the ball showed major improvement. This was apparent from the Eagles’ first play from scrimmage as quarterback Heath Beemiller, junior of Chandler, Arizona, rolled out and hit wide receiver Ahlonte Hair, junior of Live Oak, Florida, for a 76-yard pass reception. However, the Eagle offense was stopped short on that drive and kicker Gunnar Jones, graduate student of Rogersville, Alabama, scored the first points of the game with a 21yard field goal.

In terms of receiving, the Eagles were led by Hair who had 117 yards on four receptions. The running game was led strongly by Starks who gained 125 yards and one touchdown. Collier and Beemiller combined for another 108 rushing yards as well. Unsurprisingly, the offensive line continues to be the Eagles’ best asset, giving up no sacks for the third week in a row and even scoring some points of the DeCamillis scoop-and-score.

However, the Yellow Jackets quickly responded with a fast three-minute drive that ended in an eight-yard connection to receiver Hasaan Williams for a touchdown. Going into halftime, the game was tied, which to many was a surprise considering Black Hills State’s first place ranking in the RMAC.
“I think the team played hard. I think our offense had too many men tal mistakes, and that what really hurt us,” DeCamillis stated in a text. “Big game this week. Western Colorado always plays tough. Big emphasis on be ing physical and doing our jobs.”
As for the defense, the Eagles were led yet again by defensive back Ritchie McCormack, freshman of Tucson, Arizona, who recorded 11 tackles and a half tackle-for-loss. Defensive backs Harvey Reynolds and Xavier Harrell combined for another 18 tackles and a half tackle-for-loss as well.
On the subsequent drive, a strong run game from Eagle running back Jalen Starks, senior of Chicago, led the Eagles down the field to the goal line. While attempting to cross the goal line, Beemiller fumbled the ball into the end zone. Eagle center Michael DeCamillis, junior of Westminster, Colo rado, was quick to the rescue and scooped up the ball for the Eagles’ first touchdown of the game.
The game continued to look bleak for the Eagles, especially after Beemi ller went down during the fourth quarter after taking a big hit on a pass play. However, backup quarterback Mason Hamilton, freshman of Gillette, Wy oming, was the spark the Eagles needed. On the next drive, Hamilton drove the Eagles down the field 75 yards and scored a touchdown on a 7-yard connection to running back Dorian Collier, sophomore of Tallahassee, Flor ida. After the Eagle defense held the Yellow Jackets to a three-and-out, the offense marched the ball down the field off the backs of Starks and Collier. Starks powered the ball across the goal line and brought the Eagles within three points of the Yellow Jackets.
The Eagles will be taking on the Mountaineers of Western Colorado in Gunnison, Colorado, 1 p.m. Saturday at Katy O. Rady Field.
Despite the disappointing loss, the Eagles looked far better than they have in previous games. Overall, the Eagle offense had more yards than their opponent with 205 passing and 261 rushing for a combined total of 466 all-purpose yards, which was 56 more than the Yellow Jackets.
Despite the slow start, the Yellow Jackets came out in the second half with a fire and scored quickly on their first possession of the half. Coleman, however, missed the extra point attempt making the score 16-10. On the fol lowing kickoff, the Eagles fumbled on the return on their own 33-yard line. The Yellow Jacket offense took quick advantage of the mistake and scored another touchdown, going up by 13 points after the extra point attempt.

Beemiller lead the passing game with 128 yards on eight completions. However, his injury early in the fourth quarter stopped him from being able to play. Hamilton seamlessly picked up where Beemiller left off throwing for another 77 yards on 9 completions and one passing touchdown.

The defense needed one more stop to give the Eagles the chance to win the game. The defense had the Yellow Jacket offense held down to a 3rd and 17 when running back Nolan Susel ran for a 29-yard touchdown, sealing the game for Black Hills State with a score of 32-23.
“Offensively, we need to end drives in points, specifically the end zone. Field goals aren’t going to win us games,” Long said. “Defensively, we need to focus on forcing the other team to be one-dimensional. Shutting down the run game forces our opponents to pass and when you force a team to constantly pass, it becomes easier to defend. I think if we can do that, the score will sort itself out.”
Chadron State running back Jalen Starks (34), junior of Chicago, attempts to leap over defenders in CSC’s home-opener Sat urday night against the Yellow Jackets of Black HiIls State University, Spearfish, South Dakota. Starks was the game’s leading rusher, amassing 150 yards on 20 carries, but the Yellow Jackets, 3-0 and ranked No. 1 in the RMAC, went on to beat the now 0-3 Eagles, 32-23.
“As of now, we’re not sure about Heath’s injury or when he’ll be back, we’ll have to see later in the week,” Long said, “however, we’re confident in Mason. He’s come into the game every game and has been a real spark for us and has allowed us to do good things.”
