Pioneer of women’s suffrage remembered in Wednesday presentation EMILY LOOSE

Staff Writer E.D.Loose@iup.edu @ThePennIUP

To celebrate 100 years since women gained the right to vote, the women and gender studies department sponsored a presentation about Jane Leonard, one of the earliest faculty members at the university and an early supporter of women’s suffrage.

The event was called “100 Years of Suffrage: Jane Leonard, IUP and Women’s Voting Rights” and took place in Breezedale on Wednesday at 5 p.m. It was presented by Charles Cashdollar.

Cashdollar is a retired faculty member of IUP. He was the first president of the Cook Honors College and one of the first liberal studies professors.

He is currently writing a book in which one chapter is focused on Leonard. He used this chapter and other archives in his presentation.

Leonard held a lot of influence over the school and was highly regarded by students and faculty for her nature and her

belief in female empowerment.

Born in Clearfield, Leonard became a teacher at 15 and later found a job in Millersville as a history teacher. After 12 years, she went to the newly created Indiana Normal School, now IUP. She initially refused the job in Indiana, demanding more money, but took the job after more

Police Blotter ALCOHOL VIOLATIONS

• Cody Shaw, 19, of Woodland was cited for underage drinking when police encountered Shaw and found that he had consumed alcoholic beverages at 10:29 p.m. Nov. 7 at the Sheetz at 768 Wayne Ave., according to Indiana Borough Police.

DESTRUCTION OF PROPERTY

• An unknown person forced open a door and damaged the door jam between 3:30 p.m. Nov. 11 and 2 p.m. Nov. 12 at a residence in the 700 block of Shyrock Avenue, according to borough police. Police are still investigating this incident.

The same year she lost, her former student Sarah Galleway became one of the first female members of Pennsylvania legislature.

Leonard died 18 months later.

Members of faculty and alumni had a lot to say about her.

“Never did she live above us, but with us,” one alumna said.

“Leonard was to Indiana as George Washington was to the United States,” another student said.

Leonard’s legacy at the school remains. A hall named after her was built in 1903 but was destroyed in a 1952 fire.

A new version of the building was built a year later and was recently demolished in order to make room for a new science building.

Cashdollar said he hopes that another building will gain her a name.

Her portrait hangs on the first floor of Sutton and, as Cashdollar remarked, is bigger than any portraits of IUP presidents.

More information on Leonard can be found online and in the Indiana archives.

Melanoma rates among teens, young adults declining MARIE MCCULLOUGH

The Philadelphia Inquirer TNS

If you've wondered whether crusades promoting sun protection are making any difference, consider Rostraver Middle School, 25 miles southeast of Pittsburgh.

In hopes of winning a $5,000 grant offered by the Pennsylvania Academy of Dermatology, pupils submitted essays about why sun safety matters. Sixth grader Maclaine Povlish's winning entry earned her school a playground "shade structure" so kids could get away from damaging UV rays.

"Even though most of us would agree that the sun has many benefits, including helping the body produce vitamin D," Maclaine wrote in her essay, "it is just as important to understand the risks."

Rostraver is anecdotal evidence of an encouraging trend tracked by Seattle researchers: a nine-year-long decline in melanoma rates among adolescents and young adults.

To be sure, the deadly skin cancer is still far more common in older people. Fewer than one in 100,000 adolescents were diagnosed in 2015, compared with 63 per 100,000 men age 40 and older, according to the study published this week in JAMA Dermatology.

Still, through 2005, melanoma incidence "was rapidly increasing in all age groups, including pediatric, adolescent, and young adults," the authors wrote.

That alarming trend changed between 2006 and 2015. The total number of melanoma cases in a national cancer registry fell by almost a quarter among adolescents (ages 10 to 19) and young adults (ages 20 to 29), from 2,903 to 2,224. The decline occurred even as the total population of adolescents and young adults was growing, said lead author Kelly G. Paulson, an oncologist at Swedish Cancer Institute in Seattle.

Meanwhile, melanoma cases and incidence continued to increase among adults 40 and older.

Jennifer M. Gardner, a dermatologist at the University of Washington School of Medicine who co-led the study, said

(TNS) While cases of melanoma in teenagers and young adults decrease, it is pertinent to remain cautious of its signs. One would be the appearance of a skin tumor (above).

the trend reflects generational changes that she sees in her practice.

"If you were ask to ask my parents how often my sister and I got sunburns, they would ask if you mean per year," said Gardner, who is 40. "But when I ask parents how many sunburns their children have gotten, they just look at me and say, 'None!'"

Her co-leader, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center epidemiologist Margaret Madeleine, said, "There seems to be a breakthrough happening that might really reverse the trend of increasing melanoma incidence."

Public health efforts promoting sun safety can work, as Australia's Slip! Slop! Slap! campaign proved. Starting in 1981, a singing, dancing cartoon character named Sid Seagull exhorted people Down Under to slip on long sleeves, slop on sunscreen, and slap on a hat. Around 1998, melanoma rates began falling, particularly among younger adults.

While the U.S. hasn't had anything as iconic as Sid Seagull, experts point to legal, economic, and cultural shifts.

For example, the indoor tanning industry has been decimated by research spotlighting its dangers and laws regulating salons. Forty-four states,

including Pennsylvania and New Jersey, restrict minors' access to indoor tanning.

A federal "tanning tax" takes a chunk of revenue. And the Federal Trade Commission has cracked down on false claims

that indoor tanning is healthful.

Pennsylvania last year became the 17th state to pass a law allowing school kids to carry and apply sunscreen as they wish, without a doctor's note or going to the school nurse.

"It's a common sense thing," said Erie dermatologist Scott Lim, president of the Pennsylvania Academy of Dermatology, which annually offers free skin cancer screening at the state Capitol.

The perception of sun-darkened skin is also evolving. A tan is still considered attractive – judging by the booming spray tanning industry – but so is pale, peaches-and-cream, Nicole Kidman-esque skin.

"A little bronzy glow is always desirable, but not that 'I laid out and baked' look where you have dramatic tan lines," declared a 2011 Glamour magazine article.

Jennifer Redmond, executive director of the state dermatology academy, said her children, ages 20, 17 and 11, have never sunbathed.

"They'll do the spray tan," she said. "But they carry sunscreen in their bags."

The safety of some sunscreen ingredients remains a matter of debate and study, but that's why Gardner, in Seattle, urges multiple protective measures.

"Sunscreen is one way to protect your skin," she said. "But I also recommend clothing, hats, sunglasses and shade."

MENDING YOUR MINDFULNESS Practicing self-care methods needs

Putt/Delaney quad holds suicide awareness event

repetition, discipline, a routine

Never saying “no” when you’re already stressed and overworked can contribute to more burnout. We all have the right to set boundaries, and we should respect one another’s boundaries.

Communicate when someone is overstepping your boundaries.

ALEXIS LOYA

Staff Writer A.L.Loya@iup.edu @lexisloya

This article contains opinion.

Whenever you’re feeling down on yourself, practicing self-care is important to stay on track with your mental health.

We tend to be our own biggest critics. Whatever you have going on, it’s crucial that you remind yourself that it’s OK. You cannot rely on other people to bring you happiness. Instead, you must find it within yourself.

At the end of the day, you are all you have.

According to Psychology Today, self-care is defined as any activity that we do deliberately in order to take care of our mental, emotional and physical health. Its research proves that adding self-care routines into one’s daily life “reduces stress, decreases mental and physical ailment, increases productivity and inspires feelings of happiness.”

I’ve compiled a short list of things you can do to start putting yourself first.

Baths:

My personal go-to self-care routine is to take a hot bath.

Baths give you a combination of isolation, quiet and comfort.

Think of it as your own personal spa. They also help you sleep better and relieve muscle pain.

You can’t just fill up your tub with hot water, though. Walmart sells Dr. Teal’s Epsom salt that can spice up your bath. I usually go for lavender because it has a calming effect, and it smells amazing, too.

Add some bubble bath and get a bath bomb. Next thing you know, you’re soaking in paradise.

Add a candle into the mix if you’re feeling a little extra.

Pets:

(Flickr) Just because dogs are called “man’s best friend” doesn’t mean they can’t help everyone.

Take a break:

Sometimes, we overwork ourselves. We run until we’re on empty, and then we continue to keep running even after we have nothing left.

Avoid burnout because it can lead to depression, anxiety and fatigue. Take time every day to just relax. Easier said than done, I know.

Get some physical activity, such as going to the gym or stepping outside. Honestly, do whatever you want to do when you take a daily break as long as it brings you some peace of mind. If you’re too burnt out for your own good, take a mental health day.

Set Boundaries:

It’s time to learn how to say “no” when someone oversteps your boundaries. Practice communication so that people understand what is and isn’t OK. A lot of us feel obligated to say “yes” when someone asks for our time or energy. You cannot help others until you learn how to take care of yourself first.

It isn’t selfish, and it’s hard to stand up for your own needs.

OK, I get it. Not all of us can have a pet here at IUP. Pets are a great way to have your own little therapist by your side. They give us unconditional love and provide companionship, and they help us reduce stress and feelings of anxiety.

This is why service dogs are so helpful. Get a companion that will snuggle away the stress. If you live somewhere where pets aren’t allowed, I’m sure you can get a fish. Not the greatest selfcare companion that will cuddle you, but at least you know that you’re literally their whole world.

Get Organized:

When we feel that we’re spiraling out of control, one way to feel in control again is to organize yourself.

Keep a planner, and write down what you need to do and plan out when to do it. This will make you feel like less of a mess.

Clean, and then clean some more. Organize those papers you’ve been throwing aimlessly into your backpack. When you’re surrounded by a mess, you’re going to feel like a mess.

Make sure your living environment is nice and tidy because it will create a better atmosphere.

Eat and Sleep:

This one is a no-brainer, but it is important to eat and sleep right. These have a major impact on your mental and physical health. Set a consistent schedule for your meals and go to bed and wake up at the same time every day or at least try to.

IUP receives National Guard-Friendly School honors ANNA MECHLING Staff Writer A.Mechling@iup.edu @ThePennIUP

IUP is one of 30 schools selected for the inaugural Pennsylvania National Guard Associations Guard-Friendly School designation.

There were more than 480 education institutions in Pennsylvania that were eligible for recognition.

This recognition was developed by the Pennsylvania National Guard Associations’ (PNGAS) Education Advisory Council, and the standards were designed to recognize colleges, universities and trade schools that met or exceeded 10 baseline criteria.

The criteria included things that created a supportive learning environment to assist members of the Pennsylvania Guard pursuing post-secondary degrees.

IUP’s director of the Military and Veteran’s Resource Center, Cory Shay, attended the recognition celebration Friday.

“It’s such an honor to be recognized by PNGAS as one of the first 30 schools to receive

(IUP Website) Dr. Cory Shay (right) stands with retired Brig. Gen. George Schwartz as he presents him with the National GuardFriendly School Award.

National Guard Friendly School designation,” Shay said. “This award is important because PNGAS recognizes the tremendous work that IUP does to support students who are in the National Guard.

“Since the inception of the Education Assistance Program (EAP), EAP has paid $16 million in education benefits to IUP for National Guard students.

Shay is a member of the NGAS Education Action Council.

The award is merit-based.

There were 10 standards that the PNGAS Education Action Council created to measure the services a school provides for National Guard students.

“This means and reiterates IUP’s long history of supporting National Guard students. It also shows future soldiers that IUP will

always support their academic and military goals.”

PNGAS is a non-profit organization. It is not associated with or legally connect to the Pennsylvania National Guard, the state or federal government, the U.S. military or the Pennsylvania Department of Military and Veterans Affairs.

PNGAS’s mission is to support all veterans of the National Guard and their families.

Retired Brig. Gen. George Schwartz and chairman of the PNGAS Education Action Council said guardsmen have unique responsibilities that active duty troops and reservists don’t have, creating challenges for them when pursuing a degree.

“These 30 schools have made a deliberate effort to be flexible, accommodating and supportive of Guardsmen-students and are deserving of recognition,” Schwartz said.

The National Guard members receive the benefits through EAP, which pays money to cover a National Guard’s tuition and technology fee.

Recently, the commonwealth of Pennsylvania created the Military and Family Education Pro-

gram (MFEP), allowing National Guard members who re-enlists for six years to give MFEP to their spouses and children. It also covers the cost of tuition at IUP or any State System university.

In January 2014, IUP opened its Military and Veterans Resource Center. It is a physical space and a system that can coordinate services, information and guidance for military-affiliated students.

Workers are students who are veterans or military-affiliated.

IUP has roughly 1,000 students who are active in the military, veterans and military-affiliated.

There have been 12 generals who graduated from IUP and one Navy rear admiral.

IUP is known for its ROTC program and has one of the largest ROTC programs in the nation.

In May 2015, IUP celebrated its 2,000 commissioned cadets.

IUP’s ROTC has been nationally recognized and was selected for the 2014 MacArthur Award for the top program in the country. They have also won the Governor’s Trophy three times, which is presented to the most outstanding military science program at a Pennsylvania college or university.

Better late than never: Deval Patrick announces bid for president EVAN HALPER NOAH BIERMAN Los Angeles Times TNS

Former Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick launched a late-entry bid for the Democratic presidential nomination on Thursday morning, joining an already crowded field with a campaign that will aim to position him as a pragmatist well-positioned to take on President Trump.

"I admire and respect the candidates in the Democratic field,” he said in a video launching his candidacy. “But if the character of the candidates is an issue in every election, this time is about the character of the country."

In an interview with his hometown newspaper, Patrick did not minimize the long odds against his candidacy.

"I recognize running for president is a Hail Mary under any circumstances. This is a Hail Mary from two stadiums over," he told the Boston Globe.

The newly minted candidate officially filed for New Hampshire's primary on Thursday. He plans to fly to California for appearances on Saturday and Nevada on Sunday, according to a person familiar with his plans. The California Democratic Party is holding a convention in Long Beach this weekend, and Nevada Democrats have a candidate forum scheduled for Sunday.

In an interview with "CBS This Morning," Patrick offered thinly veiled criticisms of two of the current leading candidates, former Vice President Joe Biden and Patrick's fellow Massachusetts politician, Sen. Elizabeth Warren.

"We seem to be migrating to, on the one camp, sort of nostalgia – let's just get rid, if you will, of the incumbent president and we can go back to doing what we used to do," he said. "Or, it's our way, our big idea, or no way."

"Neither of those, it seems to me, seizes the moment," he said.

In case anyone thought the implied criticism was accidental, Patrick repeated the same comment after filing in New Hampshire.

Asked on CBS about a couple of major issues in the campaign, Patrick said he opposes "Medicare for all" but supports a "public option" that would allow people to enroll in a government-sponsored health plan rather than private insurance. And he said he supports higher taxes on the richest Americans, but not

(TNS) Former Mass. Gov. Deval Patrick announced his late bid for president Thursday.

necessarily the wealth tax that Warren has backed.

"I don't think wealth is the problem, I think greed is the problem," he said.

Patrick is the only African American to be elected Massachusetts governor. A gifted orator, he impressed voters during his two terms with a personal story that took him from an impoverished childhood in Chicago to the prestigious Milton Academy outside of Boston on scholarship and then Harvard University and Harvard Law School. In addition to serving as governor, he headed the civil rights division of the Justice Department during the Clinton administration.

He has close ties to President Barack Obama and his allies.

But, as he acknowledged, Patrick faces tough odds in the presidential race. His resume is laden with the type of corporate jobs that are out of style with today's Democratic electorate. Since 2015, he has been on the payroll of Bain Capital, the private equity firm Democrats pilloried when its founder, Mitt Romney, who served as Massachusetts governor before Patrick, ran as the GOP nominee for president in 2012. He stepped down from Bain earlier this week in preparation for running, an aide confirmed.

And he is entering the race at a time when other candidates have already been in the field for many months, building their organizations and spending time with voters. Several prominent hopefuls have already dropped out, and voters have given no indication they are looking for alternatives to the candidates already running: Most polls that have asked show a large majority of Democratic

voters satisfied with their existing choices.

Patrick will also be hardpressed to find experienced staff to run his operation. Experienced operatives who worked with him in the past joined other candidates when Patrick announced earlier this year that he would not be joining the race.

He had prepared carefully for a possible candidacy, but bowed out in December, citing the "cruelty of our elections process." Patrick has two grown daughters and a wife – attorney Diane Patrick – who has publicly discussed the effects of the political process on her depression.

Although Patrick appeared to have won his family's blessing this time, his late announcement this week caught even some of his closest political confidants off guard. But Patrick has long been nostalgic about his underdog status when he entered the 2006 gubernatorial primary in Massachusetts as a relative unknown, facing off against the state's sitting attorney general.

His decision to enter the race now comes as some establishment Democrats worry that Biden, the leading moderate in the race, is losing ground to more progressive rivals. Biden's sometimes unsteady performance on the stump has left some voters questioning whether the 78-year-old is up to taking on Trump.

Patrick, 63, will likely try to position himself as a more viable alternative to Biden than Pete Buttigieg, a 37-year-old whose political experience is limited to serving as mayor of the city of South Bend, Ind., but who has risen in polls to become a leading candidate.

Patrick's record as a trailblaz-

er for African Americans could position him to connect with black voters, a mainstay of Biden's support, but a group with whom Buttigieg has done poorly so far.

Yet Patrick will find himself up against two other prominent black candidates who have also made racial justice a central focus of their campaigns, California Sen. Kamala Harris and New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker.

And his launch comes as another centrist with deep political experience – and far deeper pockets – is flirting with making his own late entry into the race.

Should billionaire and former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg jump in, he would immediately be in Patrick's lane, and have a lot more resources for his campaign.

Patrick has long been friends and political allies with Obama, sharing political advisers, speaking styles and vacation time on Martha's Vineyard. He gave a rousing speech at the 2012 Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, N.C., bringing delegates to their feet as he told Democrats "to grow a backbone and stand up for what we believe."

Patrick was also an important ally for Warren, delivering a key endorsement in her initial race for U.S. Senate when she was under attack for her thin claims of Native American ancestry. The endorsement came during the 2012 Democratic primary and was coupled with a spirited speech at the state Democratic convention that helped turn the race for

Warren against the Republican incumbent, Sen. Scott Brown.

But Patrick has always been uncomfortable with the anti-corporate rhetoric of Warren and other progressive Democrats. He served as an attorney for both Texaco and Coca-Cola before he made the move to politics, and he did not join fellow Democrats in attacking Bain during the 2012 presidential campaign.

He said Thursday that he had spoken with Warren before making his announcement. It was "kind of a hard conversation for both of us," he told reporters in New Hampshire.

Patrick's service on the board of the parent company of Ameriquest, a subprime lender, was a liability when he initially ran for governor in 2006 and would likely come up again if his candidacy for president gains traction. After leaving office in 2015, he took the job with Bain, surprising many top Democrats who worried the position would kill any aspirations for higher office.

A transformational figure in his state's politics – Patrick was the only African American governor in American history to win two terms – he will seek to leverage his popularity in neighboring New Hampshire, a crucial state in the primary contest because of its early position on the calendar.

But he will face steep competition there. Warren and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders already have deep networks and strong voter support in New Hampshire, where they, too, are well known to locals.

Opinion (Facebook) Students tend to feel burned out with finals right around the corner.

Ways to conquer burnout before break begins We’ve all had those days.

You know, the ones where everything is annoying you, everything is going wrong; you’re behind in schoolwork, your boss is being unfair, your friends aren’t understanding, and you just want to crawl under the covers until tomorrow gets here.

Usually around this time of the academic year, students are feeling Burnout Syndrome: the feeling of being stressed and overworked.

Being burnt out means you stop enjoying the things you once enjoyed.

There is only one week of classes after we return from Thanksgiving break, then finals week. With Thanksgiving falling later this year, it seems to be causing more stress. Rather than getting to enjoy Thanksgiving break with friends and family, students are having to study and play catch-up on assignments.

Personally, I have three projects due the week after Thanksgiving.

Did I know of these ahead of time?

Of course. However, without all the details, it was difficult to do them. Now, it seems teachers are rushing alongside with us to make sure they cover everything before breaks begin.

I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t stressed; I’m beyond stressed. I’ve reached the point where I’m so

stressed, I’m calm. The minute I think about the projects, papers, readings and tests I have coming up, I start panicking. I can’t believe there are only four weeks left in this semester. It feels like we just started.

Then again, it feels like this semester has been going on since the beginning of time.

I’ve done some trial-and-error experimenting with ways to destress or keep calm. Everyone is different. What usually works for some people may not work for others.

But maybe these will help get some inspiration for relaxation.

1. Don’t try to do everything at once.

This just causes more stress and exhaustion. If you’re reading a textbook or working on a project, break it into parts or sections. When you reach the end of a section, take a 10 to 20-minute break to stretch.

This also helps with processing what you’ve just done or read.

2. Priorities first, fun after.

This one can be hard to choose.

I’d rather go hang out with friends or watch Netflix than do anymore

schoolwork. And there are times I’ll choose Netflix, where I’m currently binging “NCIS.” It’s hard to prioritize what needs done when it needs done, especially when you’re in the middle of a good show or movie. If something is due the next day, work on it as soon as possible; don’t wait until the day of the assignment.

3. Don’t forget to eat and keep hydrated.

Don’t forget to get enough sleep and take some time to relax, even if it’s a few minutes a day. And on Christmas break, remember you

To be fair, this is one I need to keep in mind. I’ve been living off caffeine and small snacks for a while now. A full meal just takes so long to do when I could be doing schoolwork. Plus, who doesn’t live on caffeine in college?

4. Try to do things ahead of time.

This can be tough to do, especially when teachers don’t give out details in advance. Granted, syllabi help with planning ahead, but they don’t always offer enough details.

Teachers tend to want us to wait until they can give us details closer time, but waiting means we get bombarded with requirements at the last minute. As soon as you know details, get a jumpstart on

Book fair opens to students for early Christmas shopping ANNA MECHLING Staff Writer A.Mechling@iup.edu @ThePennIUP

IUP held its 14th annual Scholastic Book Fair this week.

The book fair was open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday in 101 Stabley.

Education librarian Dr. Kelly Heider oversaw the event and has been doing this program for many years.

“I’ve been doing this program for about 14 years now,” she said.

“I’m very passionate about literacy, and studies have shown that children who have more books in the home read more.”

The book fair had a variety of genres and age and reading level books. There were children’s books, teen reads, gamer books and entertainment books.

There were also other products like posters, pens and school supplies, which, according to Heider, make great stocking stuffers.

The book fair was crowded with people, including professors who stopped by to check out the books.

“I found about it through an email and through the IUP Daily email,” said Dr. Erica Freinzel, criminal justice professor. “I come every year because I have young children at home and I always grab a book or two every time they offer it here.”

“I want to support Scholastic in reading,” English professor Lisa V. Mazey said. “I have children who love to read, and the books will be Christmas presents.

“This is the first time I’ve been here, but I usually go to the book fairs at my children’s schools, too.”

A lot of students were at the event because they heard of it through email, saw signs or knew of it from previous years.

“I work in for the undergraduate wide curriculum committee next door,” Chris Ceary (doctoral student, clinical psychology) said.

“I love books, and I wanted to see what was over here.

“I just found about it because of the signs in the library.”

Some were even doing their Christmas shopping for their family members.

“I work upstairs in the dean’s office, and they were talking about it,” Emma Cribbs (nursing, junior) said. “I have younger cousins who love to read, and I came to check out books for Christmas.

“I knew that they were doing the donation book drive, too, so I figured I’d come enjoyand support

that too.”

In conjunction with the Scholastic Book Fair, there’s a book drive, Angels Wings, that helps disadvantaged youth.

The Angels Wings program is conjunction with the Indiana Gazette and Indiana County Community Action Program (ICCAP).

Disadvantaged families apply to the program and must qualify based on a certain income level.

If they qualify and get approved, then the Indiana Gazette and ICCAP gives the children’s Christmas list to other organizations.

“I add the books to what they have on their list,” Heider said.

“They get the Christmas list and on top of that, books from the Scholastic Book Fair.

“The reason I do the fair and the book drive together is because

I get free books from the book drive that I donate to the Angels Wings, and people who shop also donate to the Angels Wings program.

“They can grab a tag and donate books for this program. I take 100 children’s names every year, and I get rid of all the Angels Wings program through the Scholastic Book Fair.”

A lot of the education students who are studying to be teachers went to the book fair to get books to start building their libraries.

“There are many picture books that typically range from $4 - $5,” Heider said. “It’s economical, and students can start building their classroom libraries at this event.

“Paper backs usually range from $4 - $10, and hardbacks are usually $10 - $20.”

(Facebook) The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade is a tradition among many families to ring in the holiday season.

Students weigh in on favorite Thanksgiving traditions ANNA MECHLING Staff Writer A.Mechling@iup.edu @ThePennIUP

Students are trudging through the last two weeks of classes before Thanksgiving and are eagerly waiting the long break.

Thanksgiving can mean different things depending on the students and their traditions.

For many people, Thanksgiving often entails spending time with family and eating a big feast.

Many families across the nation tune into the ever-so-popular Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade to view the different celebrities, performances and floats that are featured each year.

Some people spend Thanksgiving doing various cultural, religious or family traditions.

“For Thanksgiving, I usually watch the Macy’s Day Parade with my family in the house,” Katelyn McCormick (sophomore, engineering) said. “We stay dressed in pajamas and enjoy watching the parade each year, and it’s kind of like a tradition.

“My mom does a lot of the cooking and makes things like sweet potatoes and veggies. I

really like stuffing the most.

“My family doesn’t do much besides making a big Thanksgiving dinner. I enjoy relaxing with the family for the week we have off.”

Thanksgiving is also often a time spent with relatives, and food is often the center of what brings family and friends together.

Many students are looking forward to Thanksgiving dinner by helping with the food preparation, enjoying their favorite food and spending time socializing with

their friends and families.

“For Thanksgiving, I spend time with my family,” Jasmine Brooks (freshman, human resources) said.

“My great-grandma hosts a giant family dinner where her sister and her family come to dinner.

“It’s like a 100-person Thanksgiving dinner celebration. As a tradition, my family takes pictures in our pajamas. The day after Thanksgiving, we all have matching pajamas and take pictures.

“We do the pajamas every

year, but my family isn’t really into watching the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. But I do go to a lot of Thanksgiving events.”

Some students are taking use of the long break and are using this time to travel.

“I’m going on vacation to Greece and Rome this Thanksgiving,” Daine Dupree (senior, marketing) said. “I’m visiting my friend who is studying abroad.

“We are going to stay in an Airbnb and then the university

she’s staying at later in the week.

We are going to go street shopping and tourist attractions, which I’m really looking forward to.

“I usually go home for Thanksgiving, and I’m going home for a few days and am going to do a dinner and eat with my family for Thanksgiving.”

Many people enjoy Thanksgiving because it’s a time spent with family and friends, but others look forward to it because of the popular Black Friday sales.

“My favorite food is stuffing,” Jennifer Parry (junior, nursing) said. “I’m going to eat Thanksgiving dinner at my grandma’s house, enjoy the break and relax.

“I don’t watch the Macy’s Parade, but my family’s tradition is to celebrate with poppers. We use poppers, which are fun little plastic party toys you pull with a string.

It’s a Welch tradition.” Parry said.

Festivities continue that night and the next day with Black Friday shopping.

“I do Black Friday shopping because there are sales, and I look forward to this event,” Perry said. My family and I get really into Black Friday shopping and shop for Christmas presents.”

Country music’s big night featured classic artists MARAN DAVIS

Staff Writer M.Davis@iup.edu @ThePennIUP

This article contains opinion.

As many of you country lovers may know, the 53rd annual Country Music Association Awards took place Wednesday night.

The attendance at the event was star-studded with some of the most famous country singers.

Among the most famous there were Dolly Parton, Luke Combs, Thomas Rhett, Carrie Underwood and Reba McEntire.

The theme for this year’s awards was “celebrating legendary women in country music,” which solves the question as to why the iconic hosting duo Brad Paisley, Carrie Underwood was not present.

Instead, Reba McEntire and Dolly Parton joined Carrie Underwood in hosting the event. Some other famous faces were Garth Brooks, Kacey Musgraves and Dan + Shay.

As for the outfits, fashionistas around the world were probably drooling over the amazing dresses from the event. The most iconic looks of the evening were the nine different outfits that Carrie Underwood wore throughout the night.

Bless her and her stylist for serving us different looks all night.

She wore a sheer nude dress, gold tinsel mini dress, embellished blue blazer and flares, green high leg slit halter dress, black threepiece look, sparkly silver mini dress, chiffon princess gown, a colorful black gown and a red, caped dress (gasp). She never fails to impress with all her outfits.

As for some who did not have nine outfits changes but still looked good, applause to them too. Some other artists who had memorable looks from the CMAs were Kacey Musgraves in an iconic yellow feathered dress and Nicole Kidman, who was there to support her husband Keith Urban, in a beautiful sequined ruby dress with a bird of paradise pattern on it.

Maren Morris also had a memorable look, with a Cinderella-inspired baby blue gown with an off-theshoulder detail.

The performances were also outstanding in addition to all the amazing outfits the artists wore.

Garth Brooks, Blake Shelton, Maren Morris and Luke Combs were some of the few that performed that night. Maren Morris’ tribute to

busbee was quite emotional and a crowd favorite.

Among all the solo acts, there were also some pretty epic duos from country singers and not-socountry singers. Kacey Musgraves and Willie Nelson sang a duet together. P!nk also performed alongside Chris Stapleton and Lady Antebellum and Halsey also performed at the awards. Also among the best performances was a special performance honoring Kris Kristofferson, featuring Dierks Bentley, Sherly Crow, Chris Janson and John Osborne.

Kacey Musgraves and Luke Combs came in the lead with the most awards from the night. Luke Combs won both Male Vocalist of the Year and Song of the Year with “Beautiful Crazy.”

Kacey Musgraves also went home with two awards, one for Music Video of the Year and another for Female Vocalist of the Year.

Others that won from last night were Garth Brooks, Maren Morris, Blake Shelton and Dan + Shay.

Overall, the music, artists and outfits were all amazing and memorable, and it was definitely a CMA awards to remember by both audiences and artists.

“The Shining” is such a polarizing and odd film that to ride off its coattails seemed almost impossible.

When it came out, “The Shining” was critically panned and considered bad. Now, it is considered one of, if not the best, psychological horror film.

Stanley Kubrick is a mastermind and crafts his films with a unique razor sharpness that brings the story to life in a stark and iconic way, though only a loose adaptation of the source material. Kubrick’s film had sprawling sets designed to be subconsciously disturbing.

Kubrick himself studied psychology extensively to be able to manipulate his actors as well as his audiences. There is a famous picture of the set of “The Shining” burning behind him while Kubrick laughs through it.

“The Shining” film is truly a benchmark in cinema and a wholly unique experience. However, the film was very loosely based on the novel of the same name.

Stephen King strongly disliked Kubrick’s “The Shining” and decried it. He endorsed a television miniseries adaptation afterward as a truer piece of work. This adaptation is largely forgotten about and very low-budget.

However, this new film, “Doctor Sleep,” comes to be a bridge between the two. In this regard, it

is an ambitiously creative project that attempts to delve deeper into Stephen King’s lore and tone while still carrying the continuity of Kubrick’s classic.

This gets very odd, as “Doctor Sleep” has the characters from “The Shining” in it. An opening scene shows Danny and Shelley Torrance, two of the main characters of “The Shining.” These scenes are set directly after the events of “The Shining” and the characters have the same design and wardrobe as Kubrick’s film.

However, the actors are different, and it is somewhat jarring.

I didn’t really like it, and both actors feel like imitations, instead of actual characters.

The film really picked up for me when Ewan McGregor as adult Danny Torrance entered the story.

I found the projection of his character and the way his powers are handled in modern everyday life to be very well-presented.

This introduction has a real style and immerses us into his world. Despite being set in relative reality, this portion also delivers some of the most disturbing images to me and creates a somewhat hopeless setting for the film’s protagonist.

The continuation of Danny Torrance as a character was well done, and it continues a lot of the themes of self-destruction, willpower and substance abuse from “The Shining.”

McGregor is believable and likeable, and his stories serve as a good counterbalance to other elements that are ramping up.

I also really liked his chemistry with the child lead, Kyliegh

Curran. Their scenes together are quite charming, and she does a good job as well.

I was also really happy to see Carel Struycken and Jacob Tremblay in the cast. The villains took a little bit to grow on me, but they had an interesting group dynamic, and you could understand their motivations despite the utterly disgusting things they were doing.

The callbacks to “The Shining” are the worst parts of the movie.

The characters are interesting and forced into specific and strange situations that are a joy to watch.

I especially liked when the film used horror to portray the protagonists in some scenes.

The claustrophobic feel of “The Shining” is totally ignored, and “Doctor Sleep” is mostly a road trip movie, which works for it.

The effects are well-done, and there are a number of creative camera movements. I went to see this movie with a friend, and she said there were sequences that reminded her of “Inception.” The world-ending portions of “Doctor Sleep” are very entertaining, and I enjoyed them a lot.

Overall, it was a fun movie and as good theater experience. This is nowhere close to the level of quality “The Shining” has, and in 10 years people will still talk about Kubrick’s film while “Doctor Sleep” will be forgotten about.

Despite not reaching classic status, it was still enjoyable. I wouldn’t really recommend it if you haven’t seen “The Shining,” but if you have and want an action horror movie to see with your friends, then it’s a good time.

‘Sound of Music’ isn’t (just) what makes Julie Andrews great JUSTIN CHANG TNS Los Angeles Times Over the past year, Julie Andrews made headlines on at least two separate occasions one hilarious, one terrifying, and both thoroughly indicative of just how beloved she remains.

I’ll save the hilarious one for later. The terrifying one appeared in this newspaper, or rather in a message from its Twitter account.

A May 4 @LATimes tweet read: “Julie Andrews, the legendary singer, actress and star of ‘Mary Poppins,’ ‘My Fair Lady’ and ‘The Sound of Music,’ is writing a memoir that will detail her experiences in Hollywood.”

It was an inspiring bit of news that, due to some unfortunate phrasing and burial of the lede, led more than a few Twitter users to think they were about to read an obituary.

The panic was widespread and immediate. The relief that followed was tinged with anger.

How dare we frighten, even briefly, those who have long been captivated by Andrews and her singular wit, impeccable diction and clearas-a-bell voice, those who grew up with “Mary Poppins” and “The Sound of Music” in heavy household rotation.

I do not mean to fall into the usual trap of reducing Andrews’ career to her two best-loved roles, even if it is a mistake to which she herself must be more than accustomed by now. In her charming new memoir, “Home Work” the book that prompted the offending tweet she briefly mentions her own initial apprehension at following “Mary Poppins” so quickly with “The Sound of Music,” of playing two genially mischief-making, musically gifted nannies in a row. And that was before she had won her Oscar for “Mary Poppins,” or had any inkling of just how successful and enduring both pictures would become.

But if Andrews experienced any later resentment at not being able to escape the shadow of her first two major movie triumphs, she doesn’t let on here. Her focus, as the title of the book emphasizes, is on the work, and particularly on the difficulties of the work. Her tone throughout is brisk, matterof-fact and endlessly self-deprecating (“I kept feeling that I hadn’t done it justice,” “I saw places where my lack of experience showed through,” etc.), punctuated by the occasional flight into effusive gratitude.

Even when she recalls a moment when she had legitimate cause for bitterness when she was

passed over for the role of Eliza Doolittle in the movie of “My Fair Lady,” a role she had originated on Broadway she chooses to see the silver lining. (Since the rejection freed her to do “Mary Poppins” and win an Oscar, she admits, that particular lining was more silver than most.)

Andrews’ reminiscences of “Mary Poppins” are mainly focused on the enormously hard work she put into it, the intensity with which she threw herself into her singing, dancing and especially acting. She acknowledges she was operating from a place of insecurity, as a rigorously stagetrained performer approaching this strange new cinematic medium for the first time and not wanting to screw up. At one point she quotes her singing teacher Lilian Stiles-Allen: “The amateur works until he can get it right. The professional works until he cannot go wrong.”

If there is a lesson here, it isn’t just that practice makes perfect; it’s that humility begets authority. As a character, Mary Poppins embodies both. She endures, of course, because of her cheeky superiority, her bone-deep assurance that she is practically perfect in every way. But in Andrews’ exquisitely judged performance, what might have played like mere primness or arrogance instead emerges as something so much more human and delicate and understated. Mary Poppins sees and understands too deeply to allow her superiority to curdle into contempt. Her attitude toward the fragile, all-too-human family in her care is full of tenderness, informed by the knowledge that her time with them will be short. She knows the depths of her power, but she also knows its limitations.

More than a few of Andrews’ most memorable characters seem to embody a similar tension, even if they lack Mary Poppins’ self-pos-

session and wrestle with far more anxiety. Many of them don’t know the full extent of their abilities and have to be coaxed or badgered into realizing it. And more often than not, to hear her own words, Andrews had to undergo a similar evolution behind the scenes.

(Sometimes, she notes, she could be unnecessarily candid about her own flaws, as when she criticized her performance in “Torn Curtain” in an interview, to Alfred Hitchcock’s chagrin.)

Consider “The Sound of Music,” in which a hapless young nun named Maria runs, skips and sings “I have confidence in me!” only to arrive trembling and uncertain at the house where she will be serving as governess to seven children. Her confidence ebbs and flows and finally surges throughout the film; she’s forced to confront her fears, including the thrilling, terrifying realization that she might be in love. Andrews had just played a British war widow coming to terms with a similar realization when she falls for a U.S. admiral’s aide (James Garner) in “The Americanization of Emily” (1964). This World War II-era romance, with its sparkling Paddy Chayefsky script, remains one of Andrews’ most appealing and undersung movies, not least because its central romance feels like a metaphor for just how quickly this English actress managed to conquer the hearts of the American public.

Andrews writes in vivid detail in the book about the behind-thescenes anxieties she confronted during this early period of her Hollywood career, from learning music to knowing how to hold a close-up. She had long since mastered these difficulties by the time she appeared in “S.O.B.,” an acrid 1981 satire of the film industry written and directed by her husband, Blake Edwards.

Andrews played Sally Miles, a

singer and actress who was drolly modeled on her own wholesome English musical persona but was designed in some ways to shatter it. “S.O.B.” is too often recalled as a punchline, the movie in which Andrews scandalized her fans by baring her breasts onscreen an episode that Andrews neither waves away nor overindulges, instead treating it as she treats every acting challenge: as an opportunity to confront fear and display professionalism.

An even richer challenge awaited her in “Victor/Victoria,” the elegant and witty 1982 romantic farce that Edwards wrote and directed after “S.O.B.” Andrews plays Victoria, a starving soprano in 1934 Paris who is gradually goaded into the perfectly ludicrous scheme of impersonating a man impersonating a woman.

Being a movie about acting, it’s also the rare picture in which both character and actor seemed to be undergoing the same struggle, namely severe doubt as to whether she could convincingly pass for a man.

Despite Edwards’ assurances (“Honey, your audience will believe that Victor is a man because the audience onscreen believes it”), Andrews proceeded to hurl herself with the usual fervor into her preparation and research.

She studied the nuances of male posture and movement, looking for clues and mannerisms that she could absorb. But her enchanting performance, still one of her finest, does not succeed or fail on the strength of its impeccable mimicry. By that point in her career, she had long mastered the kind of effortless rapport with the camera that is every movie star’s birthright. You might say she worked until she could not go wrong.

Andrews has receded from the Hollywood limelight in the years since, though whenever she has

returned to it, the audience takes a boundless, almost Pavlovian pleasure at seeing and hearing her again. Nearly every character she’s taken on whether it’s an affably imperious queen in “The Princess Diaries” or a voice role in one of the “Shrek” or “Despicable Me” movies - demonstrates both a wonderfully wry playfulness and a keen understanding of why the audience loves her. There’s humility in that awareness, and authority, too.

Which brings us, finally, to that hilarious headline. It happened a few months before the December 2018 release of “Mary Poppins Returns,” Disney’s 54-years-later sequel to “Mary Poppins.”

Reports emerged that she would not be making a cameo appearance in the new movie - not, as some suggested, out of contempt for the project but because she supported it and didn’t want to distract from Emily Blunt’s performance as Mary 2.0. The delicious, surprising kicker: Andrews did, however, have a credit in another blockbuster that holiday season, “Aquaman.” She voiced the role of an ancient, enormous, many-tentacled, spiky-tailed sea monster known as the Karathen.

History has already vindicated this delightful decision, and not simply because as fantasy filmmaking goes, the blissfully out-there “Aquaman” puts to shame the imperfect-in-every-way “Mary Poppins Returns.” It’s an unmitigated joy to know that it’s our beloved Julie Andrews giving voice to that ugly underwater behemoth, snarling things like “You dare come here with your tainted mongrel blood to claim Atlantis’ greatest treasure!,” her crisp intonations and clear-as-a-bell voice still unmistakable beneath layers of digital gravel. Who knows what she’ll do to surprise herself and her fans next, but I have confidence she will.

(IUP & Shippensburg Athletics) The No. 18 IUP Crimson Hawks travel to Shippensburg on Saturday for their last game of the regular season.

Hawks will wrap up regular season in Shippensburg JEFF HART

Lead Sports Writer J.R.Hart2@iup.edu @ThePennIUP

That’s a wrap, folks – or is it?

The 2019 Division II football regular season is coming to an end, but the IUP football team is on the cusp of a spot in the postseason.

The No. 18 Crimson Hawks are ending the 2019 regular season on the road against the Shippensburg Raiders.

The Raiders are 4–6 on the year but have dominated in the PSAC East. Shippensburg’s wins have exclusively come from its PSAC East

24

matchups, and the Raiders have been on a hot streak, winning three out of their last four matchups.

IUP will have to be on the lookout for the Raiders’ quarterback Brycen Mussina. The Shippensburg QB has been on fire the past two weeks, throwing for 700 yards and seven touchdowns.

The Hawks are coming off a superb 35–6 win against Edinboro.

IUP did not allow a single touchdown from the Fighting Scots.

The Crimson Hawks had a strong showing from quarterback Quinton Maxwell (senior, business) last week as well. Maxwell picked apart the

Edinboro secondary, throwing for 277 yards and three touchdowns.

“We trusted each other and counted on the next guy to do his job,” offensive lineman Ken Roman (senior, communications media) said. “They were focused on stopping the run with eight-man boxes and left our wideouts with one-onone matchups. That’s a matchup we will take every time.”

The Hawks are on the hunt for their 10th win of the season and are looking to lock up their bid to the playoffs. IUP is currently ranked fourth in the regional rankings behind No. 3 Notre Dame of Ohio.

November 15, 2019

The top seven teams in the rankings will make the playoffs, and the 2–4 seeds will host their first matchup. If the Hawks can win their final matchup against the Raiders, they will be all but guaranteed a first-round playoff match at home.

The official selection show will take place Sunday.

IUP has had a long record of success against the Raiders dating back to 1988. The Crimson Hawks are 19–8–1 against Shippensburg in this period of time.

This matchup last year did not end favorably for the Hawks, as Shippensburg took the game 45–

21 and diminished any hopes for the IUP to make the playoffs.

“We’re taking every game seriously on going 1–0,” Roman said.

“We can’t take any team lightly despite what their record says.”

IUP knows all too well that this squad has the ability to win on any given Saturday. Despite their 4–6 record, the Hawks will look to give the Raiders their all this weekend.

As one door closes, another one opens. The regular season may be coming to an end, but the Hawks have full control of their playoff aspirations and will look to finish the job with a win.

I swear, at least once every year, fantasy owners, myself included, are left wondering why we continue to play fantasy football.

Why, week in and week out, we spend a wealthy amount of time looking at stats and trends trying to predict a future outcome, constantly consuming articles, podcasts, trade value charts and weekly rankings for 16 weeks of the year.

At least for me, the unsettling questioning of it all usually comes at the hands of a “bad beat.”

Originally a poker term, a bad beat describes a situation where a player, with strong odds, loses to an opponent who statistically is unlikely to win because they hit a lucky card or two.

Although bad beats tend to be frequent in gambling and sports, they also occur in everyday life.

Bad beats are universal and are now, with social media, being shared more than ever. So much that Scott Van Pelt has made it a weekly segment on his midnight edition of ESPN’s “SportsCenter,” showcasing moments that drove sports gamblers crazy.

This week, my bad beat came at one of the worst times for a bad beat to happen – Monday Night Football.

With just under two minutes in regulation remaining in the Seahawks and 49ers game, my team was up by roughly six points. My opponent had only Tevin Coleman, San Francisco’s running back, still in play.

Typically, not the passing-catching running back, Coleman was in on the final regulation drive because fellow back Matt Brieda was out with an injury.

On the first two plays of the drive, Seattle’s linebacker K.J. Wright dropped two potential game-ending interceptions.

What followed to my despair was Tevin Coleman catching three

(TNS) Kyle Shanahan’s coaching cost one fan a trip across the world.

receptions for more than 30 yards on that drive.

I lost by 0.6 of a point.

Brutal. Just brutal.

However, knowing I couldn’t be the only one who’s felt this way, I reached out to the fantasy football community and some league mates to find out what are some of their worst bad beats.

I heard some pretty gut-wrenching defeats. Like the time Will Mest’s wife got him golf lessons with a professional, only for the pro to die a month later. Or the time when he won a round-trip to anywhere with Southeast Airlines, only for them to go out of business, also a month later.

However, Lewis Glover, A.K.A Fantasy Football Down Under and @FF_DownUnder on Twitter, might take the cake for one of the worst bad beats of all-time.

Lewis, a New England Patriots fan and fantasy football writer from Australia, entered an Aussie-only daily fantasy sports contest that was designed to promote Draft Kings in Australia during Week 1 of the regular season. It was $50 per entry with a three entry per person max and a 100-entry limit. The contest’s grand prize was an all-expenses-paid trip for two to Boston for five nights and box tickets to the

Cowboys vs. Patriots in Week 12.

With the Chargers game going to overtime in Week 1, Glover thought he was riding Austin Ekeler home to the victory. The other firstplace contender had only Jimmy Garoppolo still in play, in a game against the Buccaneers when the score was pretty much out of reach for Tampa Bay. However, after a Jameis Winston pick-six (shocker, right?), San Francisco Head Coach Kyle Shanahan elects to go for two, instead of kicking the extra point to put the 49ers up 31–17.

Jimmy Garoppolo converts the two-point conversion, and Glover ends up losing by 0.2 of a fantasy point and misses out on the trip to America because of it.

Brutal, Lewis. Just brutal.

And even though in the moment of the bad beat and the following days it makes us question why we play the game, we keep coming back.

Coming back knowing when we do get that victory and/or league championship title, it will taste just make it taste that much sweeter.

Now, let’s get to it.

Quarterback I’d Start This Week: Jimmy Garoppolo (San Francisco): Even though Jimmy G, as

alluded to earlier, crushed Lewis’ chance for a trip to America, I’m rolling with him here in Week 11.

With both of his two best running backs not 100 percent healthy and facing a Cardinals defense that allows the most points to opposing quarterbacks, it’s hard not to love Garoppolo at home this week.

Quarterback I’d Sit This Week: Jared Goff (Los Angeles Rams): A somewhat-disastrous season for Jared Goff and the Rams got worse last week when the Rams were defeated by the Steelers in Heinz Field.

Now, with two games of fewer than four fantasy points for Goff, the road doesn’t get easier as he faces the Chicago Bears on Sunday.

The still somewhat–formidable defense gave Goff fits last year as he posted a season-worst 180 yards on 44 attempts with three interceptions.

Unless truly desperate, Goff is an easy sit for me.

Running Back I’d Start This Week: Brian Hill (Atlanta): With lead-back Devonta Freeman likely sidelined this week due to a foot-injury, 24-year-old Brian Hill now gets his shot at carrying the load for the Falcons.

Running Back I’d Sit This Week: David Johnson (Arizona): Wow. I never thought the day would come where I’m telling my readers to bench David Johnson. But, here we are.

Coming off a game in which he was benched for the newly-acquired Kenyan Drake, Johnson now faces a 49’ers’ defense that has been stout upfront, allowing an average of only 11.78 fantasy points to opposing running backs.

And while the future may be brighter following Arizona’s Week 12 bye, I’m holding my breath until then if I’m a Johnson owner.

Wide Receiver I’d Start This Week: Curtis Samuel (Carolina): Quietly, Curtis Samuel, currently WR27 on the season, has put together a very nice season.

Reaching double digits in five of eight contests so far, I expect Samuel to get there again as he gets a Falcons team that outside of last week has been awful on the defensive end and bottom-seven against receivers.

Wide Receiver I’d Sit This Week: Stefon Diggs (Minnesota): While it’s tough to bench any player, who can explode as Diggs did in Week 6 for 44.5 fantasy points, I’m content with doing so this week.

Struggling in his last two games without the elusive Adam Thielen, I don’t see Diggs getting back on track against a Denver defense that is top-five against opposing receivers and will likely have Chris Harris Jr., one of the league’s best corners, shadowing him.

Metro Division loaded with talent in season’s early stages TYLER COMO

Staff Writer T.D.Como@iup.edu @ThePennIUP

This article contains opinion. All stats accurate through Nov. 13.

Just a quarter of the way through the season, and things are already heating up.

There’s been constant motion in the standings throughout these couple of weeks. Some will go on streaks, others through droughts.

But a rough start doesn’t guarantee not making playoffs. It takes time to crawl you way up from the bottom, but there’s always the classic tale of the underdogs.

A good example would be the St. Louis Blues, who went from being in last place at the turn of the year to Stanley Cup Champions a few months later.

‘Tis early. It’s still anyone’s game.

But you must have the fight and the want to win.

The St. Louis Blues (12–3–4) recently went on a seven-game win streak, with five out of seven forced into extra minutes. Though, after their streak was snapped by the Arizona Coyotes in a shootout, the Blues suffered another loss.

Vladimir Tarasenko recently injured his shoulder but said he isn’t worried. Vlad is optimistic about the recovery. In the least, he wants to be sure he’s fully healed, especially in a timely manner before playoffs. Being the goal scorer he is, Tarasenko plans to help the Blues get back to the playoffs. The Blues sit in first place in the Central Division with 28 points on the season.

The Philadelphia Flyers (10–5–3) are off to an impressive start. Their record is sitting at its best since the 2011–12 season. The parts are all coming together very well since the addition of new coach Alain Vigneault. His ability to work well with the younger team helps develop the team together.

The added help of goaltender

(TNS) Jordan Binnington and the St. Louis Blues have started hot this season.

Carter Hart assisted as well, who admittedly was slow in the beginning but came around just fine.

The Flyers are making a name for themselves early in the season, especially with their recent four-game streak, broken by division rival Washington Capitals in a shootout.

The Pittsburgh Penguins (10–6– 3) are staying on their feet going through the injury process. Most recently, it seemed the team was finally healed. Then, as if overnight, the moment of bliss was gone.

Through three games after a healthy Pittsburgh team, Patric Hornqvist, Kris Letang and Sidney

Crosby wound up making early exits to the locker room. The Penguin’s captain went through a core muscle surgery and is expected to be out six weeks. Hornqvist was placed on the injured reserve list over the weekend, and Letang is day-to-day.

Despite the multitudes of injures, the Pens are winning and hope to keep doing so while their teammates recover.

The Metropolitan Division has its fair share of talent. The Islanders are 9–0–1 in the past 10 games, and had another impressive 10 game streak going but ended when Pitts-

burgh forced overtime. The Capitals also coming off hot streak of six games, which was snapped by the Arizona Coyotes through another shoot out.

Third-ranked Florida Panthers (9–5–4) pulled off an impressive comeback against first place Boston Bruins (11–3–4), both native to the Atlantic Division. Both teams scored four goals in a single period: Bruins through the second, Panthers through the third. Then they went through OT and brought another shootout.

Really great goal tending or even better goal scoring can cause

a matchup to go past overtime and into a shootout. During the past few days, there have been nine games played through the NHL, five of which went to a shootout. I’d give a nod to the goalies, particularly in overtime.

There sits a seven-way tie for wins so far in the season. Jordan Binnington, Matt Murray, Carey Price, Marc-Andre Fleury, Braden Holtby, Frederik Andersen and David Rittich all have brought home nine wins for their respectable club.

As the season rolls on, we’ll see how those goalies can separate themselves from the pack.

(TNS) Knicks owner James Dolan has long been the subject of fan criticism.

Hart: Knicks fans need to force changes at the Garden JEFF HART

Lead Sports Writer J.R.Hart2@iup.edu @ThePennIUP

This article contains opinion.

Folks, it’s time to stop.

New Yorkers and Knicks fans everywhere, it’s time to demand better.

Manhattan and New York City have been subjected far too long to the perennial dumpster fire that is the New York Knicks.

“They’re straight trash,” exclaimed longtime Knicks fan and media personality Stephen A. Smith.

After a botched 2019 free agency in which New York lost out on all of the marquee free agents like Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, fans were more than disgruntled with owner James Dolan and his anemic franchise.

New Yorkers were given a small glimmer of hope after signing solid rotation pieces in Marcus Morris, Julius Randle and Taj Gibson.

Then, after drafting blue chip talent RJ Barrett, many fans had started to have serious hopes and aspirations of having a competitive Knicks squad.

With a weakened Eastern Conference with the departure of Kawhi Leonard, many thought New York could compete with its roster being 10 deep with solid rotation players.

Some experts like Jalen Rose predicted the Knicks may even sneak into the playoffs.

All of this was just wishful thinking. The New York Knickerbockers are the flaming pile of hot garbage they always have been, and things just keep getting worse for Knicks fans everywhere.

With a 2–9 start that has been one of the worst in decades, the organization has thoroughly collapsed internally.

After a 21-point blowout to the hapless Cleveland Cavaliers, the Knicks’ President Steve Mills and general manager Scott Perry held an impromptu press conference.

Mills had a bevy of interesting

comments regarding the state of his franchise, like “We’re not happy with where we are.”

All of this is leading to what many believe will be the firing of head coach David Fizdale who was hired just 18 months ago.

When asked about insurance about his job, Fizdale simply said, “I have a two-year contract; that’s all the assurance I need.”

A comment like this one sounds like the one from a man who knows his job is in jeopardy. This would be the classic Steve Mills move. Mills, who took over basketball operations in 2017, has been the common denominator in the firing of what may be the fifth Knicks head coach in recent years.

Aside from the from the fact that Mills’ and Perry’s actions were more than unethical, this signals something even worse for the organization: all hope is lost.

After the release of head coach Kurt Rambis, David Fizdale was brought in to signal the start of a new era for the Knicks. For an or-

ganization that longed and needed stability after the fiasco of Phil Jackson, a “players’ coach” like Fizdale was a welcomed sight for Knicks fans everywhere.

Fizdale had built up a solid rapport with his years as an assistant coach with the Lebron James Miami Heat years. After his signing, the Knicks front office declared that the 2018 season would be a rebuilding year and that fans needed to be patient.

New York fans were sold on a fake vision that the Knicks would miraculously land a top-tier free agent in the loaded 2019 freeagent class. As per usual New York had let their fans down and gave an empty promise to an already-depressed fan base.

Every time the Knicks had a chance to land a big name in free agency, they seemed to disappoint. Before 2019, the Knicks aspired to sign Lebron James in 2010 to pair with Carmelo Anthony and instead landed an injury–riddled Amare Stoudemire.

Now that the Knicks have all but fired David Fizdale, it has signaled to all that the Knicks have no foreseeable future. As an avid New York Knicks fan, I find myself disgusted and appalled that one of the most dedicated, storied fanbases has been led astray and lied to yet again.

No more. No more. The Knicks have wronged their fan base for the last time. Until the fans take a stand against the James Dolan run organization, the Knicks will continue to be the most valuable franchise in basketball.

Despite all their shortcomings, the Knicks somehow remain the highest valued franchise in the NBA at a value of more than $4 billion.

Until fans clamor together, this organization will continue to be a perpetual disappointment in the eyes of experts and fans everywhere.

It’s time for a change, and at the end of the day, only we, the tortured, frustrated Knicks fanbase, can bring it about.

Flyers among most underrated NHL teams thus far AUSTIN SMITH

Staff Writer A.S.Smith7@iup.edu @ThePennIUP

This article contains opinion.

The Philadelphia Flyers find themselves in third place in the Metropolitan Division for the first time this season.

Along with the Washington Capitals being the most dominant team in the Eastern Conference, the Flyers are also on a seven-point game streak themselves and are one of the hottest teams since the month November started.

Why is that?

Well, most notably, the Flyers are playing a lot better defensively.

Everybody is chipping in, whether it’s by helping and backchecking on an odd man rush coming up in their own zone or helping on the penalty kill.

Ever since that embarrassing loss to their Pennsylvania rival, the Pittsburgh Penguins, the Flyers woke up. The Flyers haven’t let more than three goals in the last seven games except for a 4–3 shootout loss to the Maple Leafs at the Wells Fargo Center.

The Flyers have held their opponents to only two goals in their last four games. Both Carter Hart and

(TNS) The Broad Street Bullies are currently third in the Metropolitan Division.

Brian Elliot have been a major part in these victories as well.

The thing is that the last several games Philadelphia has played were not bad opponents. We are talking wins against Carolina, Toronto, Boston and then a 2–1 loss in a shootout to the league leading Washington Capitals.

Now, the common theme for the Flyers has been playing past regulation. The Flyers had two-goal leads in most of these games but found a way to keep it tied till overtime and/or a shootout.

Yes, you don’t want to rely beat-

ing an opponent in overtime and or a shootout, but this shows that the Flyers have an urge of winning these games, and we haven’t seen this in a few seasons.

The Flyers are standing their ground for the most part and showing some of these top NHL teams that they are a top-10 team themselves and a force to be reckoned with in the Metro.

Let’s go back to that Wednesday night rivalry loss to the Capitals.

All I can say is “wow.”

The Flyers held the Caps to one goal until a shootout. The Capitals

are the highest-scoring team in the NHL, so that must tell you something, Flyers haters. If we can compete with teams like the Caps and play to this level, there’s no doubt the Flyers will be in the playoffs at the end of the season and will be a tough team to play for sure.

The young talent has shined this season amongst the Flyers’ depth chart. Travis Konecny, Oscar Lindblom, Joel Farabee and new defensemen Philippe Myers have showed they can compete with some of the other top line parings throughout the NHL.

Of course, we can’t forget about our veteran players like Claude Giroux, Sean Couturier, Jake Voracek, James van Riemsdyk and, newly acquired this season, Kevin Hayes.

There are so many more players to mention because that’s how good the Flyers’ depth throughout all their lines have been.

Like I said, it’s not just the players, as the goalies have been solid themselves.

Let’s start with Carter Hart having six wins and three losses so far this season. Hart had a few bad games this season but has for sure turned around the cycle. His goals against average have gone down to a 2.53, and his save percentage hit .904. He also have one shutout this season. If Hart keeps up what he is doing, the Flyers will make a deep playoff run.

We can’t forget about Brian Elliot, Hart’s role model who has four wins and two losses with 2.88 goals against average and a .909 save percentage. So, the Flyers look to continue their domination and great team play against these teams upcoming on their schedule even if it must take past regulation time.

The Broad Street Bullies are a very underrated team right now, and that has to change.

Kentucky far from first No. 1 upset by unranked school JERRY TIPTON Lexington Herald-Leader TNS After unranked Evansville beat No. 1 Kentucky in Rupp Arena on Tuesday, Sam Cunliffe said what he and his teammates accomplished was “amazing.” And “unbelievable.” And “surreal.”

But it wasn’t unprecedented.

No. 1-ranked teams have lost to unranked opponents 63 times since The Associated Press began ranking the top 25 teams in the 194849 season. Of those 63 games, 32 were played on the No. 1 team’s home court.

Kentucky is no stranger to a home-court advantage and loftiest of ranking not resulting in victory.

ponent in Lexington.

No. 1 UK lost in Memorial Coliseum to unranked Georgia Tech, 59-58, on Jan. 8, 1955. Despite the

loss, Kentucky remained No. 1 for another month.

Unranked Auburn beat No. 1 Kentucky, 53-52, in Rupp Arena on

Jan. 9, 1988. Sophomore John Caylor made the winning 3-point shot for Auburn with 10 seconds left. UK would not again be ranked first until January of 1993.

Other times an unranked opponent has shocked the college basketball world by beating the No. 1-ranked team include: – Chaminade, an NAIA school, beating No. 1 Virginia, 77-72, in Honolulu on Dec. 24, 1982.

– Villanova beating defending national champion Georgetown 66-64 in the 1985 NCAA Tournament finals, which was played in Rupp Arena.

Speaking of the NCAA Tournament, unranked UMBC (University of Maryland, Baltimore County) upset No. 1 Virginia in a first-round game in 2018. It was the first time a 16-seed beat a No. 1 seed.

In 1966, Rupp’s Runts propelled

undefeated Kentucky to a No. 1 ranking before losing at unranked Tennessee on March 5, 1966.

And UK’s eventful national champions of 2012 lost at unranked Indiana, 73–72, when Christian Watford made a shot at the buzzer.

Kentucky’s peers at the pinnacle of college basketball are not immune to losing at home to unranked opponents while being at the top of the top 25.

North Carolina has lost six home games to unranked opponents while ranked No. 1: to Wake Forest in 1982, to Maryland in 1986 and 2008, to Georgia Tech in 1994, to N.C. State in 1998 and to Boston College in 2009.

No. 1 Duke lost to unranked Syracuse at Cameron Indoor Stadium on Jan. 14 of last season, and No. 1 Kansas lost to unranked Long Beach State in 1993.
