Grant Street gains green

University to add new park space to campus near Putt Hall

By CANDACE HOWELL Staff Writer C.J.Howell2@iup.edu

The Student Philanthropy Council (SPC), the Office of Annual Giving and other faculty are joining forces to raise awareness for the Grant Street Park Project, which is expected to be completed by the fall 2018 semester.

According to IUP’s web page, the Grant Street Park Project is “a new park designed to create unique outdoor space along Grant Street for students to study and relax.”

SPC is presenting its ideas about the future park to other students and on-campus organizations and hosting several events in February.

Alexander Ickes, SPC’s president, said the Grant Street Park project is an “amazing opportunity for [students] to make their mark.”

Several SPC events to benefit the park will take place during the spring semester. SPC is hosting a “20-second countdown” trivia gameshow, which will take place at 6 p.m. Tuesday in the Hadley Union Building (HUB) Ohio Room.

Among the prizes that can be won during the event, SPC is offering an Apple watch. The event will also provide students with an opportunity to make a donation.

Environmental engineering student links two universities

By KATIE MEST News Editor K.A.Mest@iup.edu

Some days, senior Shannon Madigan (environmental engineering) had to wear a mask through the streets of her study-abroad city to keep from coughing in the polluted air.

Over the winter, Madigan acted as a student ambassador at the School of Resources and Environment at University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC).

The newly established environmental engineering program at IUP allowed her to practice her fluent Chinese and visit the province of Sichuan for the second time.

The first time was two summers ago for an entrepreneurship course that allowed her to travel with other students to a partner university.

This winter, however, Madigan was completely immersed in the culture without the comfort of other IUP students by her side.

She was the first American student to be studying abroad at the college.

“It was amazing,” Madigan said. “I met the dean. I met a lot of faculty and staff. I even had dinner with the dean’s family. It was really great to sit there and be a part of the culture and see how they have a traditional dinner at home.”

She has already visited that area of the world multiple times, since her mother is from Taiwan.

She said that definitely helped in transitioning for the semester.

She learned about this opportunity when a professor reached

While the purpose of the program was to link the two

universities, Madigan said she felt a personal connection to the trip – that it gave her insight into what she wants to do with her career.

“Having that sense of clarity coming back and really being able to focus and put my all into my major makes me feel really good,” she said.

Madigan came into IUP with biology as her major. She then switched to physics with a preengineering track. After getting a feel for the specific engineering field she wanted to pursue, she found her path in the newly added major of environmental engineering.

The program was added in fall 2017 and is continuing to grow.

Madigan said she wants to stay on an engineering track in whatever she does.

“I like hard science,” she said.

“And I like to innovate and think about the big picture, as well as being technical, designing things, building things. And that’s what I want to do with engineering.”

New GOP women’s group makes first endorsements

By SIMONE PATHÈ CQ-Roll Call TNS

Democratic women outnumber GOP women in Congress threeto-one. But a new group supporting conservative women is hoping to change that imbalance.

Winning for Women, Inc., is making its first endorsements and announcing its key staff on Thursday. The initial round of endorsements, shared first with Roll Call, includes 12 women running for Senate or re-election to the House.

Winning for Women was founded in November. As Politico reported last fall, it came together from several existing joint fundraising committees that had the backing of major GOP donors including Paul Singer, Robert and Rebekah Mercer and Joe and Todd Ricketts, who’s expected to become the new finance chairman of the Republican National Committee.

The group’s goal is to inform the public about “national security and free-market policy” that it thinks will benefit the lives of women, organize women who share the same policy vision and help them succeed in leadership, which includes winning elected office.

Without an organization like EMILY’s List, Republicans have struggled to get female candidates through primaries. The network of existing groups dedicated to electing GOP women is more fragmented on the right. Most groups don’t have a litmus test that energizes activists and donors as much as abortion rights does for EMILY’s List.

Winning for Women’s PAC will give each endorsed candidate $5,000 and introduce each of them to its national member network.

The group is making three endorsements for Senate: Arizona

(Flickr) Winning for Women, Inc., announced its main staff members Thursday.

Rep. Martha McSally, who’s running for the GOP nomination for the state’s open seat; Tennessee Rep. Marsha Blackburn, who’s running for the nomination for her state’s open seat, and Nebraska Sen. Deb Fischer, who’s running for a second term. Former White House adviser Steve Bannon threatened to primary every senator, except Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, but Fischer doesn’t face an immediate threat.

All nine of the PAC’s first House endorsements are incumbents: Alabama Rep. Martha Roby; California Rep. Mimi Walters, Georgia Rep. Karen Handel; New York Reps. Claudia Tenney and Elise Stefanik, Utah Rep. Mia Love, Virginia Rep. Barbara Comstock, Washington Reps. Jaime Herrera Beutler and Cathy McMorris Rodgers. All nine women are Democratic targets in November.

Tenney and Comstock are among the top 10 most vulnerable incumbents in the House.

“Winning For Women has carefully considered all of the elements of each race, including competitiveness, national attention, and strength of candidate,” communications director Katherine Cresto said in a statement.

“These women have records of excellence and service, and Win-

ning For Women looks forward to elevating leaders of their caliber and potential,” she added.

Winning for Women will make non-incumbent endorsements in the coming weeks. GOP strategists are excited about viable recruits in a number of competitive races. Stefanik is the first female head of recruitment for the NRCC this cycle. Republicans also have an opportunity to increase the number of GOP women in Congress by supporting female candidates in solid Republican open seats.

Five GOP women serve in the

Senate, compared to 17 Democratic women. Twenty-two GOP women serve in the House, compared to 62 Democratic women.

Nearly a quarter of the women in the House GOP conference have already announced they’re not running for re-election.

“Simply put, there are not enough right-of-center women seated at the table. It’s our goal to change that,” Executive Director Rebecca Schuller said in a statement.

Schuller recently launched and directed the Women’s Initiative,

a project of America Rising that tried to help Republicans communicate with independent women voters. She’s a veteran of Capitol Hill and the Massachusetts State House who’s also worked as a lawyer for Mintz Levin.

Danielle Barrow will serve as operations director. She was previously director of operations for the Foreign Policy Initiative. She’s worked on Capitol Hill and in the Virginia General Assembly.

Communications director Katherine Cresto joins Winning for Women from Edelman. She’s a veteran of the Financial Serves Roundtable, Purple Strategies and Mitt Romney’s 2012 presidential campaign.

Amanda Iovino will direct research and analytics. She’s joining from The Women’s Initiative and is a veteran of America Rising and Public Opinion Strategies.

Micah Yousefi will serve has political and policy director. She was in charge of women’s engagement for the NRCC during the 2016 cycle and managed Handel’s special election campaign in Georgia’s 6th District.

Former New Hampshire Sen. Kelly Ayotte and Hudson Institute chairwoman Sarah May Stern are joining the board of directors.

Two students were shot at LA middle school; girl in custody

By BRITTNY MEJIA, HOWARD BLUME and SONALI KOHLI Los Angeles Times TNS

Two students were shot in a classroom in Salvador Castro Middle School in the Westlake neighborhood of Los Angeles on Thursday morning, and one is in critical condition, authorities said.

Police received a report of shots fired at about 8:55 a.m. at the school on West Second Street, according to LAPD Officer Drake Madison.

The victims are a 15-year-old male, who is in critical condition with a gunshot wound to the head, and a 15-year-old female, who was shot in the wrist and is listed in fair condition.

Three other individuals also suffered minor injuries, said Capt.

Erik Scott of the Los Angeles Fire Department – a 30-year-old woman, an 11-year-old boy and a 12-year-old girl. Scott described their injuries as minor abrasions, some from glass.

“We did notify the mayor’s crisis response team to provide comfort to the family members affected,” Scott said.

er was detained and a firearm was recovered, LAPD Officer Meghan Aguilar said.

The school has been deemed safe but remains on lockdown.

The parents of all injured students were notified, Los Angeles School Police Chief Steve Zipperman said.

Tyresha McNair was standing at the corner of Beverly Boulevard

and Loma Drive with her young niece.

She said she saw news of the shooting on TV and came to get her daughter, a student at the middle school.

She said she hadn’t received any notification from the school.

“I saw it on the news, and I came here to get my baby,” she said.

At the front gate of the school, McNair said she was directed to the back, which was blocked off.

She said she had been texting her daughter but hadn’t heard back yet.

“Any other time my baby would respond, and she’s not responding,” McNair said. “I just want my daughter, I want my daughter.”

In the process of clearing the scene, students were led from the classroom in handcuffs, patted down and then released.

“We will attend to the needs of these students, the witnesses, very carefully, with the understanding that this is very traumatic,” Zipperman told reporters at the scene.

Castro Middle School is located in a building across the street from the main Belmont High School campus.

The middle school building used to be part of Belmont High when the high school had a higher enrollment.

Zipperman said on KNX-AM that the school takes part in the district’s safety plan that includes random searches of students for weapons and other contraband.

The Los Angeles Unified School District is the only district its size that requires every middle- and high-school campus to conduct daily random searches for weapons using metal-detecting wands.

However, an internal district audit of 20 schools released in April found inconsistencies in how random searches were conducted.

Some schools failed to do the searches daily, the audit found.

One-fourth lacked enough

metal-detecting wands to search properly.

The district started random searches in 1993 after a 16-yearold was shot and killed at Fairfax High School.

A month later, a student died from a shooting at Reseda High School.

The district began requiring the daily searches with metaldetecting wands in 2011 after two students were injured in a shooting at Gardena High School, district officials said.

Zipperman said students would be dismissed on the school’s regular schedule, but that parents could pick up their children earlier if they wished.

At an informal presentation in January of good-attendance certificates, Principal Erick Mitchell said his campus was becoming a destination for families who wanted a smaller school setting.

Last year, Castro Middle had an enrollment of 355 students.

The enrollment is 92 percent Latino, and most students are from low-income families.

Mitchell added that the school has made academic strides because more students are coming in better prepared from elementary school and because the school has emphasized long-term goals such as college and career.

This focus also has improved overall student behavior, he said.

“We have a new culture here,” Mitchell said. “I love this school.

We have really good kids here.

“It’s the best-kept secret in town.”

OPINION EDITORIAl

Women hating women Trump’s SOTU shows breeds only more issues what might have been

If the film “Mean Girls” taught us nothing, it at least shed some light on an age-old issue: “Girl-ongirl crime,” as Tina Fey so eloquently put it in the movie. From toxic friendships to professional relationships, women have torn each other down for centuries.

Despite anti-bullying efforts and campaigns to redirect the way women treat each other, White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders recently offered yet another reminder that even the world’s most powerful women are more than capable of harming one another by promoting sexist ideologies.

On Wednesday, Sanders spoke on CNN’s morning program, “New Day,” about Trump’s State of the Union speech before bringing up Nancy Pelosi’s smile.

“That room,” said host Chris Cuomo, “was grossly divided. I’ve never seen Nancy Pelosi’s face like that. How can [Trump] unify that room?”

Sanders then commented that Pelosi “looks like that all the time.”

“I think she should smile a lot more often,” Sanders said. “I think the country would be better for it.

She seems to embody the bitterness that belongs in the Democratic Party right now.”

Sanders’ suggestion, a classic sexist line, comes as no surprise. However, while she may stand behind an administration whose president was infamously recorded boasting that serial sexual assault was a perk of his “star” status, it is still upsetting that she would repeat this typical catcall.

By THE EDITORS The Bloomberg Review TNS

(TNS) White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders commented on Nancy Pelosi’s face during a Wednesday CNN interview.

Even those who oppose this administration’s policies might have expected better from her.

How can we combat these negative sentiments about women when even women are repeating them?

Sanders, who is only the third woman to serve as White House press secretary, transcended partisan politics with comments that are offensive and demeaning to all women, and her remarks are a dsad reminder of how women can be just as sexist toward other women as men.

Regardless of how much harm or harassment a person intends to cause a woman by using this particular phrase, the request itself assumes that women owe the world – and, principally, men – something.

Women do not owe anyone anything, especially not an artificial smile.

Opinion

February 2, 2018

As he is sometimes able, President Donald Trump summoned his dignity, suppressed his grievances, and read scripted words uneventfully for 80 minutes last night, in his first State of the Union address. It amounted to an elegy for what might’ve been.

Rhetorically, the speech was more or less normal. It avoided the belligerence of Trump’s inaugural and the bombast of his rallies.

Despite some rumbling about North Korea, there were no explicit threats to use nuclear weapons. Progress, you might say.

Policy-wise, the speech was more ambitious – and thus more disappointing. Trump invited bipartisan support for a big infrastructure deal and a bargain on immigration. He called for a national effort to combat opioid addiction. He expressed enthusiasm for job training, vocational schools and prison reform. Harmony was an unexpected theme: “I call upon all of us to set aside our differences, to seek out common ground, and to summon the unity we need to deliver for the people.”

These are reasonable (if debatable) policies and sentiments.

In fact, if Trump had acted on them faithfully – as he promised to do in a speech to Congress last year – his presidency might now look very different.

By reaching out to the opposition, as most new presidents do, he might have disrupted some of Washington’s stale orthodoxies. By making infrastructure a legislative priority, he might have built some bipartisan goodwill

while laying the groundwork for growth. By being less inflammatory on immigration, he might have secured a compromise of the kind he now envisions.

Instead, Trump burned much of his first year trying to dismantle the Affordable Care Act, then advanced a cynical tax cut.

In between, he spent his time attending to self-made crises and tweeting acrimoniously. About the only aspect of his presidency that had a veneer of bipartisanship were his insults.

The consequences were predictable. Despite a strong economy, Trump’s approval rating is the worst on record at the oneyear mark. Even Democrats who might be inclined to work with a Republican president offering to spend billions on public works may now hesitate. And while an immigration compromise is possible, the debate is as bitter and polarized as ever – made all the more so by the kind of fearmongering the president voiced in this very speech.

Now, with bridges burned and capital spent, Trump will face his most daunting tests yet. With elections looming, Congress has diminished room for compromise. With tensions simmering overseas, a crisis may soon materialize. No one knows where the special counsel’s investigation will lead, but Trump’s attempts to derail it portend only disaster. It’s not unreasonable to fear the ways in which this president – with his agenda stalled and his associates under fire – will occupy his time.

“I would consider it a great achievement if we could make our country united,” Trump said in advance of the speech. Indeed it would be. Alas, for the 45th president, this realization seems to have dawned all too late.

(Facebook) Jill Wingerter (top left) opened Sunflower Yoga Studio 10 years ago.

Local yoga studio keeping it zen after 10 years

By PAUL SHALOKA Staff Writer P.Shaloka@iup.edu

Time may be an illusion, according to the Buddha. But, that won’t stop Sunflower Yoga Studio from celebrating its 10-year anniversary Saturday.

Located next to Fox’s Pizza on Philadelphia Street, Sunflower Yoga Studio plans a daylong fair filled with free yoga sessions, meditation, vendors, massages and more.

Jill Wingerter, an IUP alumna and the director of Sunflower Yoga Studio, said starting the studio was the last thing on her mind.

Wingerter graduated from IUP in 2003 with her doctorate in literature and spent the next four years “searching for jobs, especially in Hawaii, and feeling dejected.”

However, Wingerter discovered yoga during her years as a doctoral student and found it was

a great way to “channel her extra energy and bring herself back into balance.”

Although she didn’t expect to stay in Indiana, in 2007, Wingerter found that the old Dollar General next to Fox’s Pizza was closing.

“There was a large retail space completely open,” Wingerter said.

“It was ridiculously cheap, and the owners were willing to renovate the place for free.”

With that, Wingerter said she decided to give in to the suggestions of her friends and establish a yoga studio.

“I remember that quote from “Field of Dreams:” ‘If you build it, they will come,’” Wingerter said.

She said that she did not know what she was doing when it came to running a business.

“I wasn’t sure how to run a business and hold people to contracts,” Wingerter said, “but over time you learn, and I’ve built the

confidence I need.”

Wingerter also emphasized the importance of attracting the right type of employees.

“I didn’t want anyone egotistical or competitive,” Wingerter said. “There was a lot of b.s. to deal with. That isn’t what we are about.”

Wingerter said her studio is about being welcoming and impacting the community.

“We want to create a welcoming environment that isn’t judgmental and has a positive impact on the community,” Wingerter said. “Yoga is an integrative practice. In Sanskrit, it means unity. It is physical, mental and spiritual.”

Wingerter emphasizes all three aspects of yoga at her studio, and those not attracted to the more philosophical side of yoga can still find a serious workout.

“Dance2fit insanity is like extra Zumba. Even I don’t do that one,”

February 2, 2018

Wingerter said, “but we have classes for everyone, including my new program about unlocking the secrets of dynamic aging.”

Yoga can be a serious workout, and whether you are going to stay fit or achieve enlightenment “anyone can get out of the sessions what they want.”

Wingerter joked about the vendors who will be present during the anniversary celebration.

“Oh, they’ll sell jewelry, crystals, that stuff,” she said. “Typical yoga scene, right?”

For those who are more interested in the spiritual and self-balancing side of Sunflower Yoga Studios, Dr. Caleb Finegan, a history professor at IUP, runs free meditation sessions at the studio at 7 a.m every Thursday.

“If I can share some of the methods that I’ve found helpful dealing with that, even if I can just plant the seed,” Finegan said, “I will be able

to have done some good.”

Finegan said that meditation helps focus people on present mindedness.

“If you have a million things running through your head all the time, that’s when you need meditation,” Finegan said.

Finegan will host a meditation session for free Saturday afternoon in addition to his weekly sessions.

Wingerter found more than just a career by establishing Sunflower Yoga studio. Through her sessions, she met her husband, as well as a contact that got her a job online teaching English.

Ten years ago she said she felt dejected, a little lost and unsure if she would stay in Indiana for long. Today, Wingerter said she is proud of her success and looking forward to celebrating a decade of the positive impact she’s made on the Indiana community.

Make your Sunday super with these gameday recipes Maybe your guests could even offer some input for what could go on this classic treat.

By VICTORIA CASSELL Staff Writer V.V.Cassell@iup.edu

This article contains opinion.

This year’s Super Bowl is definitely one that will go down in the books. The Philadelphia Eagles have been to the Super Bowl twice but haven’t claimed the 22-inch, sterling silver Vince Lombardi Trophy. The Patriots are going for their sixth Super Bowl victory, which would tie them with the Pittsburgh Steelers for the most all-time. For all you partygoers and party throwers, here are a few interesting dinners, desserts and drinks bound to get your friends talking about something other than the game:

Cream Cheese Chicken Parm Sliders

These sliders are an improved, upgraded form of regular chicken parmesan sliders. Adding a thin spread of cream cheese to the hot, finished sliders will definitely wow your tastebuds. You can always add bacon, too, for an additional twist, and don’t be afraid to play around with more toppings.

Bacon-Infused Mac and Cheese Stuffed Peppers

This is exactly what it sounds like. Mac and cheese stuffed into a variety of peppers makes for a double-take finger food. While the recipe does call for bacon bits inside the mac and cheese, it isn’t necessary for this snack.

Grilled Mexican Flatbread Squares

A mixture of ground beef, cheese and vegetables go nicely on top of a toasted flatbread.

After assembling your desired ingredients, cut the flatbread into small, palm-sized squares. These squares are perfect and easy to make for any event appetizer.

Cajun Shrimp Guacamole Bites

These mouth-watering bites will have your guests asking, “Who did what?” The key ingredient to this recipe is sweet potatoes, which are used as a base to hold the shrimp and guacamole. After cutting a thin, circular piece of the

sweet potato, you will then fry it.

Frying produces better results for a sturdier and harder base, but baking works, too. The next step is to top the sweet potato with a generous amount of guacamole and stick the cajun shrimp to the mix.

This red and blue tequila sunrise probably caters more to the Patriots fans out there. This twotoned drink can be achieved by pouring one-third cranberry juice over ice, adding an equal amount of Blue Curacao and filling the rest of the glass with club soda.

Eagles fans should be pleased to see this equal-parts mixture of Midori melon vodka and green

apple Ciroc vodka on ice. Adding a sugared lime and mint leaves gives this drink an aesthetically pleasing finishing touch.

Whipped Cream-Filled Jumbo Strawberries

This is the easiest dessert to make, but it’s still tasty. This low-calorie treat requires you to remove the insides of a jumbosized-strawberry – the bigger the better – and adding whipped cream. For a little something extra, you can top it off with sprinkles or chocolate syrup.

Spicy Lousiana Shrimp dip

Although both Super Bowl teams this year are from the Northeastern part of the U.S., there is nothing wrong with getting a little southern for the big game. Similar to spinach dip, this dip is a crowd-pleaser and an easy cleanup. Save time cleaning up and spend it with your friends.

Whether you’re rooting for the Patriots or the Eagles this weekend, these food ideas are sure to get the party started.

Showtime’s ‘The Trade’ examines the opioid crisis in extensive detail

By ROBERT LLOYD Los Angeles Times TNS

This article contains opinion.

In “The Trade,” which premieres Friday on Showtime, director Matthew Heineman revisits and extends the material of his 2015 Oscar-nominated, Emmywinning documentary “Cartel Land.”

The subject is heroin, and things added to heroin, like fentanyl, an invitation to overdose.

OxyContin is mentioned in passing as a sort of gateway drug to heroin which is cheaper ,but given scant attention. “The Trade” is not a definitive, wide-ranging report, though. It has no advice to give, only pictures to show.

The documentary is set in Ohio, Atlanta and Mexico. The American scenes follow police officers, drug addicts and their families and friends.

The Mexican scenes, which follow producers and police, are set largely in a small mountain town in the state of Guerrero, which produces about half the heroin made in Mexico. If you have ever wondered how a poppy becomes a drug, you can see it up close

here; it’s a low-rent process.

Described by the network as “a character-driven ,vérité-style docuseries,” “The Trade” isn’t quite a fly-on-the wall documentary.

There are no face-to-the-camera interviews, and a few facts and figures are introduced in voice-over snippets from news reports. But given the criminal nature of what is portrayed, one can only imagine the complicated negotiations that must have preceded filming.

Felons who consented to appear on-screen – at the peril of their liberty or even life – and drug addicts willing to be seen shooting up and nodding off with needles in their arm and lying to their loved ones, do not just fall out of trees.

Some scenes have the flavor of having been arranged, much as

conversations in American soapopera reality shows might be, to fill in details or advance the plot.

Certain camera angles suggest that what we are seeing has not been accomplished without direction. But most documentaries do something of the sort.

The drug producers and traffickers we meet are all Mexican. The drug users are almost all young, white Americans – either an editorial choice or a function of who agreed to participate but in either case not reflective of the demographic breadth of the junkie population.

The addicts are trying to get clean, say they’re trying to get clean or show no interest in getting clean.

“Living a normal life, paying

rent, the thought of that kind of scares me,”one said.

But none, after all, are wholly reliable narrators of their stories, nor are the dealers, for that matter.

While these characters and situations may have many counterparts, they stand for only themselves.

Broadly, it’s a portrait of people who are trapped. The police are stuck fighting a war they can’t possibly win but can’t quit; the people of the Mexican mountain town, lacking other means, are seemingly doomed to participate in the production of heroin; and the addicts are addicted.

Some characters just drop out of the series, possibly never to return.

On the relatively positive side, “The Trade” is a reminder that the people who are caught up in this world are only human; it encourages empathy. Much of what is most affecting in “The Trade” are the small, human details – a Christmas tree in a drug dealer’s house, the childhood pictures on a refrigerator door of a son or daughter lost to dope, a police detective rubbing the neck of a frustrated partner.

The film is in letter-boxed widescreen for maximum cinematic effect – the photography is handsome without making things too pretty. Heroin users, of course, tend not to look their best.

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady is looking for his sixth Super Bowl championship Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles.

By ELLIOT HICKS Staff Writer

E.Hicks@iup.edu

This is an opinion piece.

The sports world is focused on the Super Bowl LII matchup between the New England Patriots and Philadelphia Eagles. Both teams were the No. 1 seeds in their respective conferences but took very different routes to get the chance to play for a championship.

The Patriots were favored in both their postseason games and earned a dominant victory over the Tennessee Titans in the divisional round. The Patriots made a late comeback against the Jacksonville Jaguars, winning their 10th AFC Championship.

Eight of those Super Bowl appearances came with football’s

most infamous – and perhaps the most legendary – quarterback and coach duo, Tom Brady and Bill Belichick. The duo has won five Vince Lombardi Trophies with New England and is favored to earn a sixth Sunday.

As for this Eagles team, being the underdog is no surprise. Philadelphia has not been favored in a postseason game, largely because of the injury to Carson Wentz, the star second-year quarterback who tore his ACL in Week 12.

As a result, backup quarterback Nick Foles — the same Foles who had the 27-touchdown, two-interception Pro Bowl 2013 season with the Eagles — stepped in as the starter.

After that season, he was benched by the end of 2014, signed with the St. Louis Rams the next year and debated retirement

before Andy Reid convinced him to sign with the Kansas City Chiefs as the backup in 2016. Afterward, Foles returned to Philadelphia for this season. For Foles, it looked like he would never be a starter again until the injury to Wentz, who had a stellar season. Foles took advantage of the opportunity to play again. Despite looking shaky in some spots at the end the regular season, he played well in both postseason games.

A solid performance in a divisional-round victory over the defending NFC champion Atlanta Falcons led to the second-best statistical performance in a conference championship game against the Minnesota Vikings; only Kurt Warner’s 145.7 passer rating from 2009 topped Foles’ 141.4 in the NFC Championship game.

While much of the spotlight has

been on the two quarterbacks, both teams have highly talented rosters, and there have been plenty of other narratives throughout the week.

From Pittsburgh Steelers legend James Harrison leaving Pittsburgh to help New England in the postseason, to two of last year’s champions with the Patriots, Chris Long and LeGarrette Blount, making it back to the Super Bowl with Philadelphia this year, the media has had plenty of material.

But when it comes down to it, the game should be extremely well contested and has the potential to be one of the best Super Bowls in recent history. While it seems that the Patriots always manage to perform well, this is one of their leasttalented rosters of the Brady era.

Philadelphia counters with its most talented roster since, per-

With the biggest stage set, Philadelphia and New England are both faced with an opportunity to make history.

For New England, a win in Super Bowl LII will be the organization’s sixth Lombardi Trophy, which would tie for a league record with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

For Philadelphia, a win would immortalize the team in the city’s history as the first Eagles team to win a Super Bowl.

The organization’s last championship came in 1960 in a win over the Green Bay Packers.

Come Sunday night, I predict New England will defeat Philadelphia, 27-20, for its sixth Super Bowl championship.

Glover, Diaz and Lombardi carry IUP men’s basketball over Slippery Rock

(IUP Athletics) Guard Anthony Glover (senior, marketing) scored 20 points, including the game-winning 3-point shot, to defeat Slippery Rock University, 67-65, on Wednesday night.

By DARNELL TURNER Staff Writer

D.M.Turner4@iup.edu

After more on-the-road games with the same results for the Crimson Hawks, the IUP men’s basketball team went 2-0 on its two-game road trip.

Both wins came in the last seconds of regulation time.

Anthony Glover (senior, marketing) was a key player in lifting the Crimson Hawks to a victory.

Glover scored 20 points for the 11th time this season, making 4 of 9 from 3-point range, none bigger than his final 3-pointer made with 4.7 seconds left, to secure a 67-65 win for IUP against rival Slippery Rock University.

IUP showed great mental toughness through the stretch of away games.

“I think part of the DNA of a championship team is having a lot of resilience,” head coach Joe Lombardi said. “These guys don’t let go of the rope. They keep playing until the final horn.”

IUP got off to a hot start in the first half, leading, 35-24, after the first 20 minutes, thanks to a 13-4 run to end the half.

Slippery Rock made its run in the second half with hot shooting from beyond the arc, making seven 3-pointers after hitting just 1 of 9 in the first half.

Slippery Rock went on a 22-8 run early in the second half to take a 56-54 lead, and it led most of the

way until Glover’s big shot.

Just like the meeting between the two teams earlier in the month of January, it was a milestone night for an IUP team member.

Jacobo Diaz (junior, economics), reached the 1,000 point club in the game against Slippery Rock.

Diaz had 995 points going into the game and had one of his best scoring performances of the season with 29 points on 11 of 19 from the field, including 14 rebounds for his 10th double-double of the season.

He started the game off by knocking down a 3-pointer and then, minutes later, making a layup off an offensive rebound for the 999th and 1,000th points of his IUP career.

Dante Lombardi (junior, finance and legal studies) added 14 points and knocked down 3 of 9 3-point attempts in 38 minutes of action.

The big three of Glover, Diaz and Lombardi combined for 63 of the Crimson Hawks 67 points, stepping up and carrying the team to victory.

IUP’s sixth win in a row clinched a Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) tournament berth, the 11th straight for the program dating back to 2008.

The team improved its record to 17-5 overall with a 13-2 conference record. The Crimson Hawks will face another divisional rival this weekend when they play Gannon University at 7:30 p.m. Saturday at the Kovalchick Convention and Athletic Complex (KCAC).

(IUP Athletics) Junior forward Jacobo Diaz (economics) finished Wednesday night’s game with 29 points and 14 rebounds for his 10th double-double of the season. Diaz also scored his 1,000th career point in the team’s victory over Slippery Rock University.

Kevin Cooley (senior, communications media) of Easton Q: What was your favorite memory of the 2017 season and/or playoff run?

A: Watching them win the NFC Championship with my parents while home on break was special for me. If the Eagles can pull this off Sunday, I’ll be beyond happy to be able to celebrate with my parents again.

Jake Rouse (junior, communications media) of Coatesville Q: How are you feeling heading into Sunday?

A: I have a lot of confidence. Of course you have to be aware of what the Pats are capable of, but I believe in the Birds because they believe in each other.

Anthony Perna (senior, criminology) of Trenton, N.J. Q: How did you become an Eagles fan, and what will a Super Bowl mean to you?

A: I became an Eagles fan because of my dad and the time he spent in Philadelphia; he raised me to be a Birds fan. A win Sunday would be a whirlwind of emotions but more so this year because of the adversity they had to face.

Lexie Campbell (junior, interior design) of Hatboro Q: Who was your favorite player from the 2017-18 Eagles and why?

A: Zach Ertz because he is a great player, and he stepped up when he needed to when Wentz got hurt and continued to push the offense and move forward.

Ishaaq Muhammad (senior, communications media) of Philadelphia Q: What will a win mean to the city of Philadelphia?

A: Everything, honestly. It’s been a long wait. This is for the city; we need to bring it home, and it will shut down every hater for a long time.

Jaycee Dagney (junior, nursing) of Cochranville Q: What are your plans for the big game on Sunday?

A: I plan on making some food for the game and watching it with my friends, even though they’re all Steelers fans.

Alex Mongan (senior, criminology) of Lansdale Q: What was the biggest surprise for you when thinking about the 2017-18 Eagles?

A: The perserverance of the Eagles to make it this far as the underdogs but without their best player, Carson Wentz.

Crimson Hawks are back on track with key road win over SRU

(IUP Athletics) The IUP women’s basketball team holds an overall record of 18-2 and 13-2 in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference.

By JARROD BROWNE Lead Sports Writer

J.W.Browne@iup.edu

The IUP women’s basketball team defeated Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) rival Slippery Rock University (SRU), 6753, on Tuesday.

“It was a great effort by our team coming off a loss on Saturday,” head coach Tom McConnell said.

“And to have to go on the road again can be a challenge, but I thought our girls responded well to it, and I thought they showed tremendous grit and toughness to go out and get a win.”

The Crimson Hawks were led by guard Audrey Stapleton (senior, kinesiology) with 16 points while shooting 5-for-9 from the field.

Although Stapleton led the scoring from the bench, three other Crimson Hawks recorded double-digit point totals.

Forward Megan Smith (senior, management) and guard Carolyn Appleby (junior, safety science) both had 11 points, while forward Maura D’Anna (sophomore, kinesiology) tallied 10 points.

“For us, that is what it takes to

be successful,” McConnell said.

“We got to have four doubledigit scorers. We want everyone involved, moving the ball and getting extra passes, and I thought we did a great job [Tuesday] night.”

One of the major differences between the Crimson Hawks and SRU was the points off the bench.

IUP created 28 bench points while limiting SRU to only 2 bench points.

“I thought Audrey and Maura gave us a great spark Wednesday night,” McConnell said.

Stapleton and D’Anna totaled 26 out of the 28 points off the bench.

With the win, IUP improved its record to 18-2 with a road record of 7-2.

“Our players are road warriors,” McConnell said. “It doesn’t matter where or when they play. They will always be tough and give us a good effort.”

Moving forward, the Crimson Hawks will return to IUP after a three-game road trip.

“It feels good,” McConnell said.

“We are looking forward to getting in front of our students and our KCAC crowd.”

IUP still sits atop the PSAC West standings but finds itself in a threeway tie with California University of Pennsylvania (Cal U) and Edinboro University.

IUP returns Saturday to take on Gannon University at 5:30 p.m. in the Kovalchick Convention and Athletic Complex (KCAC).

(IUP Athletics) Carolyn Appleby (junior, safety science) was among the team’s leading scorers in the road win over rival Slippery Rock University on Wednesday night. Appleby scored 11 points, five assists and three steals.

(IUP Athletics) Maura D’Anna (sophomore, kinesiology) was one of four Crimson Hawks to record double-digit point totals Wednesday night. D’Anna is averaging 7.9 points per game and 5 rebounds per game off the bench for IUP this season.
