President Barack Obama re-elected to serve another term

By Rob Longo Editorial Assistant After a hard-fought election by both sides, the American people decided the fate of their country for the next four years by re-electing President Barack Obama.

Obama was declared the winner at roughly 11:15 p.m. Tuesday evening by all major news networks, after being declared the winner of the battleground state of Ohio. With Ohio’s crucial 18 electoral votes, Obama

climbed to 272 electoral votes overall, which gave him two votes more than the amount needed to win the election.

Since 1964, no president has ever won the presidential election without carrying the state of Ohio.

However, many people, including several polls and political scientists, believed republican candidate Mitt Romney would come out victorious.

Before the election, Dr. Larry Stratton, Director of the Stover Center

for Constitutional Studies and Moral Leadership shared his thoughts.

“I think Mitt Romney will win this election,” said Stratton. “I feel like Romney has that ‘bandwagon effect.’ He’s really come on strong towards the end of this election.”

According to a poll of 50 students in two of Stratton’s classes, 37 students believed Obama would retain office, while 13 students believed Romney would be elected.

“Anyone can sight a poll to back up their pre-

diction,” Stratton said.

Professor of criminal justice and social sciences Dr. Richard Waddel had a similar view to Stratton before the election.

“Pennsylvania is still in play for Romney, if it does go red, it’s game over for Obama,” said Waddel.

As far as Pennsylvania goes, Obama carried over 52 percent of the vote, winning the state and its 20 electoral votes. However, Romney won

Waynesburg University’s nursing program was the only program in the state of Pennsylvania to achieve a 100 percent pass rate on the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses this year.

The recent announcement of the 100 percent pass rate marks the fifth consecutive year that the program accomplished this feat.

According Dr. Nancy Mosser, chair and director of the Department of Nursing, achieving a 100 percent pass rate for five years is a huge accomplishment.

“I am unaware of any other nursing program in Pennsylvania that has that record for the past five years,” she said.

Mosser credits the students and the Department of Nursing curriculum for the success of the program.

“We prepare the students throughout the program to take the exam; the classroom and clinical experiences are designed so students can develop the appropriate knowl-

edge base, critical thinking skills and abilities needed to safely practice nursing,” Mosser said.

“Students also take standardized exams throughout the program to validate that they have mastered and retained essential knowledge and skills.”

The exam accounted for graduates that tested from Oct. 1, 2011 to Sept.

30, 2012.

Students are required to take the NCLEX subsequent to graduation from an associate, diploma or baccalaureate program. “[The test was] created to protect the public, the test is designed to assess the knowledge, skills and abilities essential to the safe practicing of nursing,” Mosser said.

“Graduates of nursing programs must pass the test in order to practice as registered nurses.”

Thirty-eight Waynesburg University students tested and helped the program to achieve the 100 percent pass rate.

According to Mosser, there are 84 nursing programs in the state of Pennsylvania – 37 of See NURSES on A3

Stover Scholars network with politicians in Washington D.C.

By Nick Farrell Assistant Sports Editor In the past, the Stover Scholars have met with Supreme Court justices and had dinner at the Swiss Embassy.

This year, on their annual trip to Washington, D.C., the Stover Scholars chatted with a variety of important American figures, including the first female Supreme Court justice, the archbishop of Washington, D.C. and a former governor of Pennsylvania.

Dr. Larry Stratton, the director of the Stover Center for Moral Leadership and Constitutional Law, filled the trip itinerary with lectures and Q-and-A sessions with these prominent people.

“I don’t believe in having any spare time on a trip,” said Stratton.

The most famous name on this year’s card was Sandra Day O’Connor, the first female justice of the Supreme Court.

O’Connor served as a Supreme Court justice for 25 years after she was appointed by President Ronald Reagan in 1981.

Stratton was honored to have O’Connor meet with the Stover Scholars to discuss her journey from her studies to serving as a Supreme Court justice.

Stover Scholars Jon Waldon and Zander Shashura met with a number of politicians, including former Governor Richard Thornburgh (right) in Washington D.C. “She [O’Connor] is one of the most widely recognized jurists in American history and always will be because of her groundbreaking role,” said Stratton. “So much of the late-20th century jurisprudence of the Supreme Court is premised

upon her opinions.”

Gina Robinson, sophomore secondary education English major, said that O’Connor recounted her entire journey from her studies, to her appointment, to the Supreme Court by President Reagan.

“Just being able to be in the same room as a Supreme Court justice is amazing, but hearing about her history and how she got on the Court and how she was impacted by it and how she influenced so many women and opened so many doors for them just by being on the Court was incredible,” said Robinson.

The Stover Scholars also met with Cardinal Donald Wuerl, a former bishop of Pittsburgh. Stratton felt that Wuerl’s message would educate and resonate with the Stover Scholars, who focus on learning both Christian ethics and Constitutional law.

“When it comes to wrestling with questions of public policy in the context of faith, Cardinal Wuerl is one of the leaders in America,” said Stratton.

Robinson said Wuerl emphasized the importance of Christian ethics in leadership and combined both of the aspects that the Stover Scholars study. According to her, Wuerl’s talk was enthralling.

Chase Ayers, sophomore pre-law major, enjoyed Wuerl’s message about living and leading as a Christian.

Students learn to appreciate culture while studying abroad

By CJ Filippi Staff Writer Imagine the experiences you had traveling to a new place and experiencing a different culture than yours. You learn not only to appreciate another culture, but yours as well.

International Culture & Diversity Day was held at the Goodwin Performing Art Center on Wednesday, Oct. 17. Students who studied abroad and current international students presented to 170 audience members about the experiences they had overseas.

“A program such as this is significant in a rapidly changing world. As the world becomes smaller, we interact more internationally-the ability to adapt and bridge the differences is necessary,” said Dr. Sut Sakchutchawan, associate professor of international business and director of the International Studies Program.

Several students from Waynesburg University went on various foreign trips and studied abroad in Romania, Bolivia, Costa Rica, Korea and Honduras.

Junior Victoria Kapp began International Diversity Day with her presentation on Romania, where she spent two weeks this summer.

According to Kapp, the food in Romania is all organic and clothing was similar to clothing worn in the United States.

“I had a wonderful experience in Romania,” said Kapp. “I hope you all

Obama re-elected Continued from Page A1 Greene County with 58 percent of the vote.

The presidency was not the only important office up for grabs Tuesday evening. A number of seats were being contested by the Democratic Party in the Senate, one of which was in Pennsylvania. Incumbent Bob Casey defeated Republican challenger Tom Smith, by gaining 54 percent of the vote. Greene County thought otherwise, voting for Smith 50.57 percent to Casey’s 47.5 percent.

Pennsylvania’s senatorial race was vital to the Democrats, who were attempting to defend the slim majority they already held.

“I think the Republicans will take the House,” said Waddel.

“The Democrats are defending 23 of 33 seats in the Senate. I think that will be hard to do.”

If anything was certain on this Election Day, it was the fact that the GOP still has a stronghold on the House of Representa-

Sophomore Colin Nelson went on a spring break mission trip to Bolivia last year. According to Nelson, most people in Bolivia are farmers because of the higher altitude. Nelson’s experience was one like no other.

“Being in Bolivia felt like you were on top of the world,” said Nelson.

“You can’t experience what I did in Bolivia.”

The third presenter was junior Zoe Carpena, who traveled to Costa Rica and shared her experiences. The motto that Costa Ricans live by is “Pura Vida” which translates to “Pure of Life.”

According to Carpena, conservation in Costa Rica is very important.

She said Costa Ricans are saving as many resources as possible and hopefully by 2021, Costa Rica will be carbon-neutral.

International student Jisu Shim, talked about her life at home in Korea and discussed the differences between Korea and the United States. Shim said that respect is an important part of Korean culture.

“In Korea, you show respect by bowing to an elderly person, with two hands, and using respectful language,” said Shim.

Richard Waddel directly addresses students and faculty during the chapel service Tuesday. He discussed the creation and God’s deliberate plans. Waddel challenged audience members to focus on the basics.

Waddel focuses on Genesis during chapel, analyzes magnitude of God

By Chelsea Dicks Editorial Assistant

Richard Waddel took a handkerchief out of his pocket and dabbed his forehead to capture the small sweat pellets that were forming on his brow.

He rose to his feet, and instead of standing behind the podium, as many speakers at chapel do, he stood directly in front of his audience.

Waddel’s message for those at chapel on Tuesday was about getting back to the basics.

“Before coming to speak, I prayed to God and also asked myself what did I need to hear when I was a student,” said Waddel, a political science professor at Waynesburg University.

He focused his speech on the passage Genesis See STUDENTS on A3 1:1: “In the beginning God created the Heavens and the Earth.”

tives.

“No one outside Nancy Pelosi thinks the Democrats will win the House,” Waddel said.

When it was all said and done, it came down to the decision of the American people and what path they wanted the country to head.

“I voted for Mitt Romney,” said sophomore prelaw Chase Ayers. “I tried to be as objective as possible in my decision making process. It came down to who I think had the stronger record and who could get the country back on track. I thought Romney had a better record than Obama.”

Senior pre-law major Karen Moyer thought otherwise.

“I decided to vote for [Barack] Obama,” Moyer said. “I like and agree with many of his policies.”

After being re-elected as president, Obama was thankful for the opportunity.

“We are an American family and rise and fall as one nation and as one people,” President Obama said in his victory speech.

“We know in our hearts, for that the United States of America, the best is yet to come.”

Waddel believes that this passage sets the basics for every Christian.

“Great books always have great beginnings,” said Waddel.

He looked deeper into the seemingly simple words of the single verse.

He took into consideration why the writer mentioned heaven and hell rather than just stating that the Lord created everything.

Waddel believes that heaven and hell are explained in detail to illustrate the magnitude of God. Waddel said that God created everything between heaven and earth, from the huge details such as the sun, to the small details of the blades of grass.

Waddel also analyzed the word ‘beginning’. He said that the author chose ‘beginning’ over other words because it signifies something new, something that was created for

a purpose.

Waddel believes that we are each a new beginning, and that we all have a significant purpose in this world.

“Ask yourself, ‘Why are you here? What should you be doing with this time?’” said Waddel.

“As followers of God we may be lost, but we are making good time.”

He encouraged students to look into themselves and ask why. Why did they choose to come to chapel? Why did they choose Waynesburg University? Why or why not have they chosen a major?

Waddel said that all of these decisions should be based on the glorification of God and allows students to exemplify their talents to their best capability.

“Each and every one of you were put here deliberately,” said Waddel. “God does not make mistakes.”

He presented the audience with an example of God’s deliberate plan using the Bible parable of the yoke and the oxen. In the parable, the oxen must stop and let the master place the yoke on top of him so the master can correctly direct the oxen from the carriage.

Waddel said that all the people of the world are like the oxen and God is the yoke, just waiting for us to stop and accept his guidance.

He challenged the audience to change their focus back to the basics of their religion which should be faith. Waddel said that we may not know what our purpose is right now, but he guarantees that everyone has one. All we need to do, Waddel said, is open our ears and listen for God to guide us.

“I mean after all,” Waddel said. “Who could give you a better job?”

‘Passion and commitment’ evident in class

By Nicholas Coyle Staff Writer This semester, Waynesburg University students had an opportunity to take a sign language course. It has been a few years since this course was offered but this semester the Department of Communication decided to bring the course back.

It is an elective course taught by Professor Debra Hast. Hast, teaches both at Waynesburg and at the University of Pittsburgh.

“I like small classes.

The classes I teach and coordinate at the University of Pittsburgh are large,” said Hast.

At Waynesburg, Professor Hast has her small class of just 11 students sit in a circle. It makes it easier for students to communicate with each other.

The entire class uses sign language to communicate.

“When she was little, my mom and I would sign with each other,” said Lindsay Bloomster.

Because this course is

offered, Bloomster now has the opportunity to learn more about a language she and her mother both were interested in when she was younger.

For Bloomster, taking the class was a way of broadening her interest on the subject. For other students in the class, reasons for taking the class varied.

“I like learning about different languages and cultures,” said Jessica Hawk.

Richard Krause, Chair of the Department of Communication, has played a significant role in bringing back the Sign Language course.

“We are pleased to offer this course which we haven’t offered in two years,” Krause said.

Krause speaks very favorably about Hast.

“Hast has outstanding teaching credentials and she has inner passion and commitment to the course. We wanted someone who is experienced,” Krause said.

Hast shows much interest in her students learning.

“I have been teaching for many years and it’s just great to see how many people are interested in learning to communicate with the deaf and even other non-deaf like autistic children or children with language disorders,” Hast said.

At the end of October, students in the class went to Pittsburgh to participate in Wii bowling. They had a chance to interact with adults at the Deaf Club and apply their sign language abilities with adults, deaf and hard of hearing children.

Event brings students together during election Athletic Training students respond in emergency situations

By Katherine Mansfield Editorial Assistant

The Beehive was buzzing with energy Tuesday night as students of all ages and majors chowed down on pizza, guzzled soda and waited eagerly for the results of the 2012 Presidential Election to be broadcast to the world.

“This is like the Superbowl for people who’re into this stuff,” said Jonathan Waldon, a junior political science major, as

he surfed the web and chatted with friends at a round table in the corner of the Beehive’s dining room. Waldon voted via absentee ballot and was excited to see if the candidate of his choosing would lead from the Oval Office for the next four years.

“I think that Romney’s going to win the popular vote,” Waldon forecasted hours before the polling results were in. “But Obama’ll win the Electoral vote.”

Waldon’s friend Daniel Griebert, junior public relations major, agreed with Waldon’s prediction and vocalized his hopes that Obama would win another four years in the Oval Office.

“I’m kind of [politics] junkie,” admitted Griebert. “It’s great to see

so many people come together to watch the election. [That’s] part of the democratic process – we all learn something.”

Speaker focuses on world’s natural resources

By Michelle Dunseath Staff Writer On Oct. 30, Sean Fitzpatrick, vice president of Joy Manufacturing, made an appearance as a guest speaker for the Energy Management and Strategy course.

“The needs for the world’s natural resources are going to double by 2030,” said Fitzpatrick.

“We need to focus on all resources for the sake energy management.”

Energy Management is a new concentration that can be studied by the Master of Business Administration students, which is offered at the Graduate and Professional Studies program at Waynesburg University’s Southpointe Center.

Of the 37 programs, Waynesburg University was the only school to achieve the 100 percent pass rate.

Although excited about the results, Mosser hopes they will be able to maintain perfect record in the future.

“Naturally, the faculty was elated with the five

students with information about different substances used around the world as sources of energy as well as how to use them properly, said Janice Crile, director of accelerated programs in business.

“The students learn about renewable and nonrenewable resources such as coal, gas and wind,” said Crile.

Fitzpatrick provided the students with the economics as well as the pros and cons of using coal and wind energy while lecturing.

From working with General Electric for approximately 10 years, Fitzpatrick has been able to develop wind energy to parts of the world, including Asia, India and China.

Then, after working over a year at Joy Manu-

facturing, Fitzpatrick shared his expertise with the Energy Management students.

This semester is the first time this course is being offered to MBA students.

“The Energy Management and Strategy course is very unique to our program,” said Crile. “Nothing like it has been provided to our [GAPS] students before.”

This course is required for students enrolled in the Energy Management program, but a wide variety of students outside of the program take interest as well.

“There are students in the class that have varied backgrounds, such as studying the energy industry, retail management and even journal-

ism,” Crile said.

There are 15 students total that take part in this course and are taught by three executives from Consol Energy.

The three executives are Jenna Cooper, Darryl Husenits and George Smith, who all have over 20 years of experience with energy sources.

Some of the students are very optimistic about the field of energy management due to this new program.

“I just jumped into the program knowing very little,” said MBA student David Kerchner. “I feel that the class will give me the correct picture of what this program has to offer. The class will most definitely help with my career in the Energy industry.”

years of 100 percent pass rates; however, the test is changing and we must be prepared to address new challenges on a consistent basis,” she said.

Mosser anticipates the program’s continued success in the future.

“The Department of Nursing developed a strategy to improve NCLEX pass rates in 2001, and the plan has been successful,” Mosser said.

“For example, a student is assigned a nursing advisor for the four years the student is in the program, and the student meets with the advisor

several times a semester.

Additionally, students begin clinical practicums the first semester they are admitted to the program, providing for a rich variety of experiences from which to learn. And finally, faculty members set high expectations for students and are dedicated to helping students achieve their goals.”

According to Mosser, the Department of Nursing is constantly attempting to improve its program requirements.

“We schedule regular reviews of the curriculum to improve it,” she said.

“The test plan will

change in April 2013, and the passing standard will likely increase. The faculty is already reviewing changes made to the test plan.”

The average national pass rate of the NCLEX was 90.23 percent.

This year, 149,700 candidates tested in the United States.

“If the pass rate ever drops below 80 percent, the program will be on probation,” Mosser said.

“A high pass rate is an indicator of program quality, and prospective and current students are always interested in pass rates.”

Dr. Robert Kefferstan, interim Dean of Undergraduate Students, said it was a wonderful experience to see students so cultured.

Hurricane Sandy presents area with number of challenges

By Lucas Diethorn News Editor Wind, rain and snow.

These are weather elements that Southwestern Pennsylvanians are used to, but not all at once.

Last week Hurricane Sandy presented the area with all three of these challenges.

Some areas of Southwestern Pa. did not receive all the snow, but the rain did cause some dilemmas.

The first round of the WPIAL High School Football Playoffs was scheduled for that Friday.

Many teams that were preparing for a home game, woke up to a field of mud.

Teams were ordered to move to fields with artificial turf to play the games.

Snow just to the south in West Virginia accumulated up to three feet in some places.

Near Kingwood, W.Va. there was a foot and a half to two feet, according to Scott Williams, professor of Philosophy at Waynesburg University and resident of Kingwood.

Scott Williams, professor of Philosophy, was concerned about cancelling classes when his hometown, near Kingwood, W.Va., was covered in nearly two feet of snow as a result of Hurricane Sandy.

It is expected that 7,700 people still do not have power and most schools are expected to be close until tomorrow.

Williams said that even if the schools could open with power, they would not have food to feed the students because due to the food expiring over the past week.

Despite all of these

natural obstacles, Williams was still able to make it to his classes on Tuesday.

“Monday night I left Kingwood. The snow is always worse in the town where I live than the town where my parents live [Morgantown, W.Va.],” said Williams.

“I left Monday night and stayed at my folks’ place to be sure that I

could get out.”

Williams was still worried that he would have to cancel class and the exam he was giving on Tuesday due to the amount of snow that Morgantown received.

Williams was also worried that Waynesburg University was receiving some of the worst of Hurricane

Continued from Page A1 “He basically tolds us that we don’t have to be ashamed of what we believe in, even in a world and society that wants us to keep quiet about what we believe as Christians,” Ayers said.

Stratton expected Wuerl, a well-respected and well-known figure, to deliver pertinent information and leadership tips to the visiting students; however, he was surprised by how accessible and responsive the Cardinal was.

“I just called up his office and told his assistant about the Stover program and, what do you know, a day later we got a call back saying that he’d like to meet with us,” Stratton said.

“In fact, he remembered Waynesburg fondly from when he was the bishop of Pittsburgh.”

Stratton believes that Cardinal Wuerl’s connection to the school gave him a perspective on Waynesburg’s mission and helped him relate to the students.

The Stover Scholars also met with Richard Thornburg, a former governor of Pennsylvania and U.S. Attorney General, Dr. Richard Rahn, an economics columnist and Michael Carvin and Gregory Katsas, two attorneys with the Jones Day law firm.

Much like Wuerl, Thornburg expressed his Christian background during his meeting with the Stover Scholars. Ayers learned a valuable lesson of faith from the politi-

“I was checking the Waynesburg site to see if classes had been canceled thinking that things were apocalyptic up here just like they were down there [W.Va.],” said Williams.

“I got north of Mt. Morris and it was just kind of raining. I left an emergency situation and arrived here and it was

Along with that recognition is the assessment of the pulse and nerves of the leg to make sure there was not damage to those structures. All of this has to

just business as usual.”

Williams believes the difference in snow and rain was simply due to the difference in elevation.

In Uniontown, Pa. near the mountains there was also a large amount of snow recorded.

According to Williams the power problems are due to the tree branches “exploding” onto power lines because of the heavy snow pushing them down.

“I was going to hunt Wednesday morning but I decided against it,” said Williams.

“I was about to get in my tree stand and I thought, ‘You know if my mother saw me about to climb a tree when branches are just falling all around me she would just kill me’.”

The storm’s power affected even recreational activities; creating obstacles of tree branches throughout the area which Williams hunts.

While others in surrounding states are still faced with much damage and power loss, Hurricane Sandy’s effects have cleared up in Greene County.

occur in a very timely manner so that the injury can be treated best.”

It isn’t too often that we see injuries of the magnitude of Marcus Lattimore’s, but ambulances and EMS’s are usually on the spot at football games in case severe injuries come to fruition.

The Athletic Training Education Program stresses the EAP (emergency action plan) when it comes to emergency injuries.

“The students need to know what the EAP is.”

“He used his faith to handle many disasters during his term and in his own life, including the death of his wife,” Ayers said.

“If he had so many troubles and used [his faith] as a foundation, I can certainly do the same.”

Both Carvin and Katsas argued against the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act during its litigation. Ayers was impressed with the knowledge of the two lawyers and how much planning went into their arguments.

“Katsas described the experience of getting the court to agree with them on parts of the Obamacare litigation,” said Ayers.

“The intricacies involved in litigating and preparing for a case were vast – I had no idea about all the possibilities that had to prepare for.”

One of the final events on the program was a seminar with Rahn, who Stratton said publishes a

biweekly column for the Washington Times that is syndicated nationally.

Rahn is friends with Dr. Allan Meltzer, who spoke at Waynesburg University earlier in the semester.

“We basically had one semester of an economics course in that hour,” said Stratton.

Despite the crowded schedule of events, Stratton said that the Stover Scholars still had a chance to see some of the many landmarks and monu-

ments in Washington, D.C. Stratton wants to continue these trips to the capital city because he believes that meeting these noble leaders influences the students that make the journey.

“Someday, hopefully soon, we’ll be visiting prominent lawyers, prominent government officials or prominent political leaders who are Waynesburg University graduates and Stover alumni,” said Stratton.

Extravaganza opens holiday season at local elementary

By Katherine Mansfield Editorial Assistant The magic of watching your breath linger in the air, frost glistening on the ground and nighttime that arrives much too early – this is November. And though Thanksgiving is the next calendar holiday, for many, come Nov. 1, it is visions of sugarplums that dance through their dreams and Christmas tunes that sing from their speakers.

The Waynesburg Social Service League’s 18th annual Holiday Extravaganza unofficially marked the beginning of the holiday season Nov. 3 in the Waynesburg Elementary School cafeteria.

Greene County’s craftiest set up shop and sold their wares to locals in search of the perfect presents for their loved ones.

“It seems like a tradition,” said Dianne Toothman, a retired Waynesburg high school teacher. “I come every year with my mom and my sister. It’s nice to see the handcrafted things you don’t get to see anywhere else.”

The Extravaganza did indeed offer shoppers unique gifts aplenty, from handcrafted woodworks and candles to live pine wreaths and baked goods.

Seasoned vendor John Paciga sold handmade wooden Christmas tree ornaments and framed fretted photos – images carved from wood using a tool called a scroll saw – for the sev-

enth year running.

“I’m retired and this is my hobby,” said Paciga, gesturing to his work.

“I saw it at a craft show. I said, ‘I think I can do that.’ And I taught myself.”

Paciga enjoys woodworking – it’s how he relaxes – and sharing his creations.

“The same people come back every year looking for me,” said Paciga. “[What I do], it’s not machine-made, not computerized. It’s manmade. You don’t see too many people doing it anymore.”

As Paciga sold ornaments, Marcy Clark, a first-time vendor, sold pine wreaths and floral pieces from the Fred Clark Nursery Florist and Garden Center to a surprisingly large crowd.

“There’s been a lot of people here today – I’m surprised,” said Clark.

“I think today is just a casual shopping day before the pressure of buying right before Christmas sets in.”

Young and old browsed the booths, picked up and put down, exchanged cash for crafts and chatted merrily with friends and sellers.

“Being out there talking to people, telling them what I do, seeing their expressions and reactions – I love doing shows,” said Audra Levicky, a pediatric physical therapist from Carmichaels.

Pre-Civil War building to see improvements

By John Lydic Staff Writer

The Waynesburg Borough building has become a lasting image in the town even before the Civil War. The building was constructed in 1834 and was a bank at the time.

The building would become the largest banking facility in Greene County during that time.

The bank failed in 1911, causing a minor recession in S o u t h w e s t e r n Pennsylvania.

During that time, See CRAFT on B4

there were many majestic houses in the Waynesburg area. The head cashier was giving out monetary donations to politicians, which caused the bank to run out of money.

The bank supported a small community but was a huge part of the area because Waynesburg was selfsufficient.

The cashier was arrested for his involvement in the payouts to politicians.

He was later released on a Presidential pardon.

After the major finan-

cial crisis, the Waynesburg borough purchased the former bank, and the police department began operating out of the building.

Renovations were made to the building in 1964 for the first time since its construction.

The renovation created a front desk, it expanded to three rooms for police operations.

This was before the detailed filing system came into effect.

The building was again expanded from 1974 to 1979.

This renovation combined the borough building with the mayor’s office, but the three rooms remained the only place for the police department.

There was no real line for communication during this time so there was a little red light across the street to alert the police of a 911 call.

Because present day information and technology requires so much space, it is again time to expand the borough building.

Exercise caution Follow safety measures this flu season It’s beginning to get colder out, darker earlier and rainy once again. With this weather comes the dreaded flu season.

Waynesburg University offers free flu vaccines, along with many other places in Greene County: however, even though you get a flu vaccine it does not make you immune to the flu.

Several students are now finding out that even though they got the shot, they are still becoming sick.

The shot is not faulty.

It does help to a certain point but it requires reinforcements to have a full effect.

The flu shot can help but it needs other defense ammunition fired with it. You still have to dress warm and try to avoid spending long hours in the cold.

Germs can still be spread, so sanitizing everything is also very important.

There are hundreds of ways you can get the flu and to combat those you need more than just a hopeful vaccine.

If you have the flu you should also try to keep it to yourself.

Cover your mouth when you cough, throw your tissues away right after you use them and thoroughly wash your hands please.

Remember, remember the 11th of Nov. And I ask, how many of you, as you cast your ballot Tuesday (or read Facebook posts and Tweets from those who did), stopped to thank our veterans for protecting our freedom to elect the leader of our choice?

I’m guessing that the answer to that question is “very few.”

Every four years, Election Day falls within days of another, lessertelevised holiday: Veterans Day. Yet the connection between the casting of a ballot and the sacrifices of our troops is often overlooked.

It is thanks to the vet-

erans who served bravely to protect our freedoms at home and abroad that we retain the right to vote for our country’s leader.

So I believe that a proper “thank you” to our vets is in order.

The best way to properly thank our veterans for their bravery is to celebrate (and understand) Veterans Day, which is often confused

You are responsible Every vote counts for yourself Pennsylvania is vital in presidential race

For weeks now, it has been stressed how important it was to go register and vote.

The date has passed and hopefully you made it out to the polls and your voice was heard.

Once again, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has played a crucial role in electing our nation’s leader.

The last time a republican candidate won the state of Pennsylvania was George Bush Sr. in 1988.

Since then, Pennsylvania has been a democratic state.

However, Pennsylvania was considered a toss-up state in this election.

With Pennsylvania being a battleground state, a number of candidates and politicians have made their way through the state, more specifically the western part.

On Monday, former President Bill Clinton held a campaign rally at Market Square in downtown Pittsburgh on behalf of Barack Obama.

Clinton was accompanied by a number of other speakers, such as Congressman Mike Doyle and Senator Bob Casey.

After a visit to Bucks County on Sunday, Mitt Romney made a stop in Pittsburgh on Election Day. Western Pennsylvania has always been a hotbed of political activity.

During the 2008 presidential election, both political parties made a number of stops in the western part of the state.

President Barack Obama held a rally in Beaver, Pa. As the election loomed closer, vice-presidential candidate Sara Palin visited the same town. Paul Ryan also made a stop in the state in August at Carnegie Mellon University.

If you think your vote didn’t make a difference, you’re wrong.

Take responsibility for your own actions. Don’t blame others for your mistakes.

We’ve all heard this little piece of advice in some way, shape or form. Maybe it was phrased a little bit differently, but I doubt anyone can deny hearing this.

It’s not a new thought either.

Thousands of years ago, the ancient Greek playwright Sopho-

with Memorial Day because both are days devoted to honoring the United States armed forces. Memorial Day falls in May and serves as a day of remembrance for those lost in battle; Veterans Day is celebrated every Nov. 11 in honor of all troops who have risked or given their lives to protect the freedoms that Americans take for granted every day.

And now, a brief history of Veterans Day: Veterans Day marks the unofficial ending of the War to End All Wars. On Nov. 11, 1918, an

ALEX HINTON cles put Columnist i t this way: “It is a painful thing to look at your own trouble and know that you yourself and no one else has made it.”

Albert Einstein was also on top of things more than 60 years ago when he said, “Man must cease attributing his problems to his environment and learn again to exercise his will – his personal responsibility.” And, maybe she’s not a world-renowned thinker, but my mom said to me just this week, “Don’t let others dictate

your feelings.”

So, here’s the same idea phrased three different ways, during three different time periods. But somehow this simple little thought is something we still struggle with.

Or at least I do. It’s tempting to take the easy way out when you do or say something wrong. How many times have you gotten into a heated argument and justified it with “It’s your fault. You started it.” I probably couldn’t count if I tried. But I also know I can resist the urge to be rude. I have worked on and off in the fast food business for more than four years.

Blame game in tragedy solves nothing When I look back and watch all the home videos of me in my younger years, there was always one common theme: my mom would not let me out of her sight.

No matter what I was doing, she would have that camera on me at all times because she wanted to protect me.

She does the same thing now: she makes sure I’m home on time and always checks in on me. It does get annoying, but I know

ERIC BOST Columnist

she does it because she loves me and she’s my mother. That’s what she’s supposed to do.

Maternal instinct tells her to protect her child at all costs. When parents don’t pay attention to their children, bad things happen.

Sunday, between the Pittsburgh Panthers losing a heartbreaker to

Notre Dame and the Steelers winning a close game against the New York Giants, one parent lost track of her child in what eventually became the first visitor death in Pittsburgh Zoo history.

A two year old boy was mauled after falling into the African painted dog exhibit at the Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium.

The boy fell from the ledge 10 feet above the exhibit after his mom put him on the high railing.

I understand the reasoning behind the mother doing so. If we take our kids to the zoo, we want them to see all the animals, right?

That’s what the mother’s intent was: for her child to see the animals. It’s how she handled this desire to give her child the best view is the problem.

According to multiple reports from CBS News and ABC News, the mother picked her See MOTHER on B3

Eliminate rudeness Continued from B2

Sandy shows continued need for aid This is politics: New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie shows up at a Republican function in late October and bashes President Barack Obama as someone who's "clutching for the light switch of leadership."

This is real life: Barely a week later Christie goes on national TV to praise Obama, saying, "I cannot thank the president enough for his personal concern and compassion for our state."

Why the abrupt change?

Because superstorm Sandy had slammed into New Jersey and much of the Northeast with horrific force, killing dozens of people, destroying homes, crippling transit, shutting off electricity and leaving a swath of destruction that

demands the most heroic relief and rebuilding efforts the nation can muster.

New Jersey doesn't have nearly enough resources - from money to qualified personnel to do that right now.

Neither do New York, Connecticut or the other badly damaged states.

So Christie, other governors and mayors of affected communities are looking to the entity best suited to rush in and help in times of crisis.

It's called the federal government.

While criticizing most everything that Washington does these days is a popular activity for some politicians, its size and reach are crucial during national disasters.

Compassionate,

knowledgeable leadership helps, too.

Obama and the federal forces he leads displayed that quality early on in the wake of Sandy.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency quickly moved badly needed power generators into many affected areas, helped with emergency transit and brought in massive amounts of water and pre-packaged meals.

Given the tremendous extent of the damage, emergency responders were still scrambling over the weekend to restore electricity to many people in New York City and New Jersey, and get sufficient amounts of gasoline to the Northeast.

Talk of self-sufficiency and states' rights

make for nice sound bites when the sun is shining.

But Joplin residents found out after a tornado ripped through their city in 2011, it's far better to have national, state and local public employees ready to respond.

In Sandy's aftermath, the Red Cross, other nonprofit groups and utility crews from around the country are providing excellent assistance.

Still, natural disasters tend to show Americans we're all in this together.

It's encouraging that an empathetic president has helped lead a massive federal response to the megastorm. ___ This editorial originally appeared in the Kansas City Star.

giously, the Veterans Day parade gives you a reason to get out of bed, change out of your pajamas and leave your room Nov. 11. I believe that it is important to show support for the men and women who have been through Hell to protect our rights.

How many of us have grandparents who served in the armed forces; we love them and respect them all the more for their service, and it’s our duty as Americans who exercise various rights and freedoms each day to pay our respects to those we owe our freedoms to.

My grandfather was a Marine who fought overseas during WWII, and his war stories never fail to entertain me. My grandmother was also a Marine during WWII;

she was a secretary who sent death notices to soldiers’ families, but her role in the war effort was important, too.

Every Navy sailor, every Air Force pilot, every Coast Guard and Army and Marine soldier deserves to be remembered and thanked for their role in protecting the United States.

They risked their lives for our right to vote, our right to choose the newspaper we read or the major we study.

The least we can do is show our thanks by showing up at the Veterans Day parade and listening to their tales at the ceremony.

They gave months and years. We can give a couple of hours.

Their main responsibility is customer satisfaction, but it’s easy to notice that a lot of customers are less than satisfied. From my experience, I’ve seen that customers can be rude, bossy, ungrateful and downright mean to those serving them. But even when you’d like to “accidentally” pour that steaming caramel latte on the customer who complains that it still doesn’t taste right even though you already remade it, you know better than that. Being rude to a customer doesn’t only make the employee look bad; it makes the entire establishment look bad.

A few moments later the boy fell off the ledge into the exhibit below. As a horrified crowd looked on, a pack of African painted dogs killed the baby boy.

The tragedy sparked much Internet debate.

The biggest question being: Who’s to blame?

Let’s eliminate the obvious.

We can all agree that the child is not at fault here. He was two and had no idea what he was doing. It’s as simple as that.

After the child, the finger begins to point in many directions. Multiple people have said that the zoo, the dogs or the mother is at fault.

The zoo can’t be at fault. Since the zoo’s opening in 1898, there has not been a recorded visitor death. [That is over 100 years without a visitor dying.]

They are not responsible for a child that accidentally falls into an exhibit.

Visitors know the animals are dangerous.

That’s why there is a 10 foot high railing protecting everyone else from enduring the same fate as the two year old child. These are carnivorous animals we’re dealing with.

That’s why it is the mother’s fault that her son died.

She knew that these animals eat meat for a living. She (hopefully) knew better than to put her young child on the railing and leave him there by himself.

It just amazes me that she didn’t pay attention to her son.

The tragic death of this boy was an accident.

However, it should have never come to that. The negligence of the mother cost her son his life.

As a mother her son was her only responsibility, and for whatever reason, she took her eyes off of him at a dangerously critical moment. For what it’s worth, my mom would never have left me sitting, unguarded, on that ledge.

After losing only one starter, Garret Johnston, to graduation, the 2012-2013 team will have many familiar faces.

Leading the way for the Yellow Jackets will once again be senior Alex Crown, a three-time PAC winner, who will bump up to the 133-pound weight class this year. The senior enters this season with an 84-19 career record, and will most likely reach the illustrious 100-win mark this season.

In addition, junior Luke Lohr will return to the mat after missing almost his entire sophomore season following an injury.

Lohr, a PAC champion as a freshman, will enter the season in the 149-pound weight class. I expect Lohr to have a big season after missing last year.

Other wrestlers to keep an eye on this fall include heavyweight Brandon Fedorka once his football season concludes and senior Cody Catalina in the 184-pound classification.

Led by an experienced roster, I expect the Yellow Jackets to win a PAC title for the third time in four years.

Women’s Basketball Since head coach Sam Jones took over five years ago, he has turned around a doormat program and made it one of the best in the PAC. After back-to-back 20win seasons, the Yellow Jackets will look to reach 20-wins once again this season.

Losing All-PAC point guard Hannah Hunter to graduation is a huge blow for Jones, but a talented See TEAMS on C2

It all comes down to this PAC title and playoff berth on the line Saturday

By Kyle Oland Sports Editor After Saturday’s game at John F. Wiley Stadium between the 18th ranked Waynesburg University Yellow Jackets and Washington & Jefferson College Presidents, the 2012 Presidents’ Athletic Conference champion will be crowned.

It is only fitting that the title will come down to the outcome of the 2012 PAC Backyard Brawl, a matchup between two schools with a bitter rivalry.

Womens’ season ends in playoffs Despite loss, Jackets primed for next year

By CJ Trammell Staff Writer As the first season under head coach Carl Griffiths comes to an end, the women’s soccer team is already looking to improve for next season.

Waynesburg’s season came to an end last week when they lost to Thomas More, 5-0, in the first round of the Presidents’

Athletic Conference Tournament.

“I’m pleased with the fact that we made it back to the conference tournament,” said Griffiths. “We knew that would be difficult because of the players we lost after last season.”

After the 2011 season, the Yellow Jackets graduated forward Courtney Ebersole, the team leader in points, and Katrina Kelly, their starting goalkeeper, as well as a few other valuable field players.

Waynesburg had other players step up and fill

those roles. Sophomore forward Natalie Abraham scored six goals and had three assists, filling the void left by Ebersole.

It was definitely a disappointment to end our season that way,” said Abraham. “But, we made a lot of progress, and young players stepped up to fill big roles.”

Abraham lead the Yellow Jackets in points this year, and put up good numbers for a sophomore; however, she knows she can improve over the course of her next two seasons.

“Aside from technical skill, I need to be more mentally tough,” said Abraham.

Freshman Ciara Scott changed her position from defense to goalkeeper entering the season to help the Yellow Jackets.

Waynesburg only returned one goalkeeper from the 2011 season.

“It was a good learning experience,” said Scott.

“I’m looking forward to next season.”

Scott started 18 games and had seven shutouts this fall.

Rich tradition of defense continues Recruiting mindset brings athletes to WU

Continued from C1

By Nick Farrell Assistant Sports Editor Defense wins championships.

That motto has driven the recruiting process during the eight year tenure of head coach Rick Shepas at Waynesburg University. Under his guidance, the Yellow Jackets have consistently recruited for defense in order to build a strong foundation for the future.

“We recruit specifically for defense here,” said Shepas. “We want to be good on defense. We’re used to being good on defense.”

Riding the tremendous play of their defensive unit, the unbeaten Yellow Jackets are in optimal position to win a Presidents’ Athletic Conference championship this Saturday when the Washington & Jefferson Presidents come to town.

The stakes are high and clearly defined: the winner of this year’s PAC Backyard Brawl will advance to the NCAA Division III Tournament and continue to work toward a national championship.

Sophomore linebacker John Sikora believes that the defensive unit won’t be disturbed by the pressure and circumstances of this upcoming conference championship game.

“We’re going in pretty humble and looking forward to the opportunity,” said Sikora. “We know what’s at stake and we know what to play for, and we’re going to play hard.”

It’s no surprise that Sikora promised that the

The Jackets have the highest rated scoring defense in the PAC, conceding an average of just 16 points per game. Waynesburg also sports the conference’s best rushing defense, allowing an average of 100 yards a game in each of its nine wins.

Waynesburg’s highly regarded run defense starts with its front four, led by senior Matt Krause, one of three Yellow Jackets selected to play in the Aztec Bowl on Dec. 14.

Krause is one of Waynesburg’s top tacklers, recording 42 stops this season, a mark that trails only the injured Bryan Gary’s 69 tackles.

Junior Brandon Fedorka has been another dominant force for the Jackets.

He leads the team in tackles for loss with 12 and sacks with eight.

“Krause commanding that double team and playing great with his hands is obviously huge,

and Fedorka is having another all-conference type of year,” said Shepas.

Shepas also highlighted the play of junior Mike Rittelmann, an undersized player who still adds strength to the front four.

“When you take a look at Mike Rittelmann, he definitely embodies what Division III football is all about,” said Shepas. “He’s an overachieving, hardworking guy that isn’t going to look like he has the physical stature or the presence on the field to get it done. I know teams target him, but he finds a way to get it done.”

Sikora, along with senior Jordan Helmick and junior Ronnie Skinner, are each among Waynesburg’s top-five tacklers, excluding the injured Gary.

Shepas said that Helmick is due for a standout performance against the Presidents.

“Jordan Helmick is playing the way he is capable of playing,” said Shepas. “This will be a big game for him. I know he

didn’t like the way he played in last year’s game [against W&J].”

Sikora said that a huge reason for this year’s success is the defense’s accountability. Each player worries about his own assignment and gets his job done.

“Everyone owns up to everything they do on the field,” said Sikora. “Individuals are focused on doing the best they can do without relying on others.”

He added: “We don’t care who gets the individual credit. We just want to get the job done.”

Waynesburg will not approach this rivalry game any differently than any other fixture on their schedule, but Sikora said that the defense is more determined this week than ever before.

“It’s going to be on us – we want to be on defense,” said Sikora. “We know the offense will score some points, but the defense must rise to the occasion.”

roster should help overcome the loss of Hunter.

Returning for the Jackets are senior All-PAC performers Jessi Drayer and Brittany Spencer.

Last season, Drayer led Waynesburg in scoring with 14.4 points a game and Spencer added 10.3 points a game.

These two players will have to elevate their play this season to compensate for the loss of Hunter.

One player who will see an increase in playing time is sophomore Hayden Giuliani. The sophomore is expected to take over for the departed Hunter.

A year ago, Giuliani played in all 28 games coming off the bench, displaying an ability to run the offense and score.

In order for the Yellow Jackets to challenge for a PAC title this season, the young players on Jones’ roster will need to play beyond their years.

Men’s Basketball The men’s basketball team led by head coach Mark Christner has struggled for a number of seasons.

A year ago, the Jackets finished 5-22, and 1-15 in conference play.

However, with a strong nuclease of young talent returning, the Yellow Jackets have nowhere to go but up.

Sophomores Jacob Fleegle and Jason Propst both saw extensive time on the hardwood last season, and are expected to see an increased workload this year.

A year ago, Fleegle averaged 6.9 points a game, while Propst averaged 6.3 points a game.

Senior Kurt Bonnet

returns for his final season as a Yellow Jacket, and is expected to lead a young squad that features 14 underclassmen.

Look for the Jackets to struggle early on with a host of underclassmen seeing playing time, but as the season progresses, the young team may show promise for the future.

Indoor Track and Field With their first meet scheduled for December, the Waynesburg runners have some time to get in optimal running shape.

While the indoor season does not have a PAC Championship meet, head coach Jason Falvo uses the winter season to prepare for the spring.

With men’s standouts Bonnet and sophomore Byrum Louco playing basketball in the winter, many new faces should see time on the track.

On the women’s side, senior Rhea Huwe will look to get in shape for the spring.

The senior hand a breakout season as a junior and will look to build on it during her senior year.

Look for Falvo to use the winter to gauge the talent level for the spring.

Griffiths leads men to best season in 10 years

Chicago area, where he took a position as club director. After gaining valuable experience as both a girls and boys coach at Kopian, Griffiths returned to his alma mater, where he became Wheaton College’s assistant coach.

Griffiths said that his responsibilities at both Kopian and Wheaton prepared him for the job that Waynesburg was offering.

“Being a club director for four years and being on the side of things that involves people being recruited, then switching over to being an assistant coach where I did a lot of traveling and recruiting and some of the on-field training was a good mix of experience for me,” said Griffiths.

He felt ready for a job as head coach; his search for his first head-coaching job led him to Waynesburg and a school in Minnesota, which are the two colleges Griffiths’ decision came down to.

Waynesburg’s values, an administration that cares deeply about its athletics programs and athletes and adequate facilities are what swayed Griffiths’ decision in favor of Waynesburg, but the tipping point was Waynesburg’s ability to succeed.

“I felt that [Waynesburg] is a place where we could win,” said Griffiths.

“I felt we could win here and after my first year that is definitely the case.

We can do some special things.”

For the most part, the Jackets’ season was a success this past year, and a lot of the credit should go to Griffiths. This past year, Griffiths coached the Jackets to their second win over rival Washington & Jefferson in school history.

The team’s final 8-8-1 record was the best finish in over 10 years. Sophomore goalkeeper Brandon Daughtry said that this season proved that Griffiths can lead the team to the playoff berth that the team so desperately wants.

“It’s one of the most successful seasons we’ve had and that’s definitely a testament to him,” said Daughtry. “But he said it himself; we’re not satisfied by any means. It might look like a successful season to other people that are looking at records from year to year, but we know we can be in the top four of the [Presidents’ Athletic Conference].”

ing by fall in the second period.

The favorite for 133pounds, Crown, sat out because of an illness.

In the next match, junior Luke Lohr matched up against sophomore Stuart Spencer at 149-pounds.

Coming off an injury that ended his sophomore season early, Lohr returned to the mats for the first time.

The junior was able to score two takedowns in the first period before Spencer had to end the match early because of an injury.

“It is good to see [Lohr] back on the mat,” said Headlee. “He is fun to watch and adds some excitement. Just to have him out there is a big plus for our team.”

As a freshman, Lohr went 34-5, which was the fourth most wins in all of Division III that year. The junior is expected to be one of the catalysts for Headlee’s squad this year.

The 157-pound bout featured two wrestlers who won PAC titles a year ago.

Sophomore Chris Milligan, who won a title at 149-pounds last year, squared off against junior Sam Lombardo, a 165pound champ from a year ago.

With the match tied 11 with only seconds remaining, Lombardo was able to score a takedown to win 3-1.

Next came the 165pound match between sophomores Ryan Walters and Sam Guidi.

Walters, the 174-pound starter from a season ago, lost in overtime to Guidi, 2-1. After wrestling-up a year ago, Walters will challenge Guidi this year.

In the next bout, juniors Anthony Bonaventura and Cameron Fine locked horns. Bonaventura won by a strong score of 7-4.

At 184-pounds, senior returning starter Cody

Catalina pinned freshman Ryan Mayfield in 1:38.

Last season, Catalina took second at the PAC Championships and then went on to take third at the Division III Midwest Regional tournament.

Another returning starter, sophomore Patrick Jennings looked to defend his spot against freshman Greg Kumar at 197-pounds.

Jennings was able to defeat the tough freshman by a score of 2-0.

In the heavyweight matchup, senior Marty Kisla beat fellow senior David Willis by a score of 3-1.

With two-year starter Brandon Fedorka still playing football, Kisla will take his place in the starting lineup.

The Jackets will open the regular season on Saturday, Nov. 10, when they travel to the Washington & Jefferson Invitational.

The tournament is set to begin at 9 a.m.

By Eric Bost Editorial Assistant It’s been a year full of accomplishments for the Waynesburg men’s soccer team and head coach Carl Griffiths.

“The course will be challenging and difficult for our women,” said Hardie.

Fortna couldn’t be any happier with the course she could make history on.

“This course is my favorite kind,” said Fortna. “A little bit of hills mixed in with parts in the woods.”

Hardie has faith in his senior and believes she has the talent to clinch a spot in the national championship meet.

“A big goal for Megan is to crack the top-50 runners in our region,” said Hardie. “I feel she can make a run at the national mark, which is typically a top-15 finish.”

Fortna has received high praise throughout the year from her teammates and coaches for the terrific final season she has put together.

“This has been the best season of my running career,” said Fortna.

After switching positions, Moses dominates

By Nick Farrell Assistant Sports Editor The man with the long, red hair is the most feared receiver in the Presidents’ Athletic Conference.

His fierce competitiveness and strong, reliable hands have made him the most dominant tight end in conference for the last three seasons.

This almost was never the case for Adam Moses.

During his career at Lutheran West High School in Rocky River, Ohio, Moses was assigned to the offensive line because he was one of the biggest players on the roster.

It wasn’t until the beginning of his college career at Waynesburg that Moses got a real chance to play tight end.

“I played offensive line and inside linebacker in high school, but when I got here they moved me to tight end,” said Moses.

Now a senior, Moses has thrived at the tight end position at Waynesburg, which he believes is his natural position.

He has been named to two first-team All-PAC rosters and was twice selected as a preseason All-America at the position.

Most recently, Moses was approached to play in the Aztec Bowl, an all-star game that will pit the best football players in the NCAA Division II and Division III against the Mexican National All-Stars on Dec. 14.

Head coach Rick Shepas described his stellar senior as “a distraction,” saying that opposing defenses scheme to stop just him.

No matter how much time is spent preparing to face Moses, an execution of the plan is near impossible.

“He’s going to get dou-

After playing O-line in high school, Adam Moses made the transition to tight end when he came to college. The senior has since become the best tight end in the PAC. ble-covered and triple-covered, but he’s still going to catch the football in big situations,” Shepas said. “To have him on the field in any capacity makes it better for our offense.”

Mack Pulkowski, a junior offensive lineman, played with and against some talented football players while at Mount Lebanon High School. A handful of those athletes went to Division I schools, but, in his opinion, none compare to Moses.

“I’ve played with kids who went to bigger schools, but none with the drive that Moses has,” said Pulkowski. “He has the best hands in the PAC, and sometimes you wonder how it’s done.”

Shepas said that Moses ranks among the most skilled players he’s ever coached. Like Pulkowski, the head coach is constantly in awe of his star tight end’s magnetic mitts that make spectacular diving grabs look simple.

“He’s got great hands; he’s got the best hands of any player I’ve ever coached and he’s got as good of

hands as any player I’ve ever seen watching football as long as I’ve been around,” said Shepas, who began his coaching career in 1989 at Alliance High School in Ohio and played college ball at Youngstown State, a former Division I-AA university.

In fact, Shepas believes that Moses might still have

a few more steps to climb on the ladder, as the tight end possess all the assets to continue playing at the next level.

“I think he’ll definitely get looked at and he’ll have the opportunity for sure,” said Shepas. “Where we can get him between now and then is another story.”

Right now, Moses has

Champion to be decided Continued from C1 [McNerney],” said Sirianni.

With the magnitude of Saturday’s matchup being what it is, there will be a number of key matchups to watch.

Alex Baroffio vs.

Waynesburg secondary Junior wide receiver Alex Baroffio enters Saturday’s contest ranked second in the PAC in catches with 63, going for 511 yards and two touchdowns.

The junior is an explosive athlete that can score any time he touches the ball. Last season against the Jackets, Baroffio torched Waynesburg’s secondary, recording 10 receptions for 207 yards and three touchdowns.

Washington & Jefferson tries to get the ball to Baroffio in open space, utilizing the junior’s explosiveness to gain yards after catch.

“Alex [Baroffio] is a player we like to move around in the slot and get

him the ball as much as possible,” said Sirianni.

“He is the best player right now.”

For Waynesburg, the secondary will once again be without junior AllPAC safety Bryan Gary, who is out for the rest of the season with a torn ACL. With Gary out, freshman Mike Lopuchovsky will start in his place for a second consecutive game.

Although only a freshman, Lopuchovsky flashed his playmaking ability against Westminster two weeks ago, notching six tackles and playing solid in the pass game.

Cornerbacks Marvin Sampson and LaVance Turnage, Jr. will have the

assignment of covering Baroffio.

While both are not particularly big, the two corners play with quickness that should allow them to keep up with the speed of Baroffio. “[Baroffio] is a great player, so we will have to play some good coverage on him,” said Shepas. “He is an excellent receiver and a catalyst for them.

We want to try to avoid the big play.”

If the Waynesburg secondary can contain Baroffio, the Yellow Jackets will be in good position to win.

Waynesburg rushing attack vs. W&J defense

Entering Saturday’s showdown, the Yellow Jackets have been carried all season by their vaunted rushing attack.

Led by the potent onetwo punch of junior Bertrand Ngampa and senior Dominic Moore, stopping the rushing attack has not been easy for opposing defenses.

“I don’t think we can completely stop their rushing attack,” said Sirianni. “Both [Ngampa] and [Moore] are good players for them.”

This season, the Yellow Jackets average a PACbest 208 yards per game on the ground.

As the Jackets have done all year, Shepas said the offense will continue to grind it out on the

his eyes set on Saturday’s game against Washington & Jefferson and not the possibility of a professional career; however, Moses didn’t disregard that possibility and said he has plenty of ideas for his future.

“If playing at the next level doesn’t work – which I’m obviously not hanging my hat on; I’m still trying to get a solid education – I’m looking to be a graduate assistant and help coach at any level for two years,” said Moses. “I think that coaching is my calling right now.”

While covering the athlete in Moses is a daunting task for opposing defenders, there’s nothing daunting about his personality. While his 6’5” frame makes him an offensive giant, Pulkowski, who was mentored by Moses during his Fiat Lux class, says that every inch of his personality is gentle.

“Moses has that affect; if you want to get to know him, he’ll get to know you,” Pulkowski said. “He’s an all-around good guy.”

Nothing about Moses’ success at Waynesburg has changed his personality, either.

“It’s a rare occasion to see him drop a pass, but anytime he drops a ball, he does pushups like the rest of us,” Pulkowski said.

Shepas noted that Moses’ work ethic has strengthened throughout his career at Waynesburg, which allows the senior tight end to continue to progress and strive toward new heights.

“He takes practice very seriously; he’s very hard on himself. In some cases, he may even take too many practice reps, but that shows he wants to earn it,” Shepas said.

All the accolades and

touchdown catches that Moses has earned during his career have brought him into the spotlight among teammates and foes; however, Moses has stayed true to his style as a leader.

Never once has Moses been described as arrogant; rather, humble is the most frequent adjective teammates and coaches use to describe the tight end’s personality.

“Anything he does that might stand out is done with good intentions; his intentions are always healthy and are always good and are unselfish,” Shepas said.

Moses credits the his abilities to both lead and succeed not to hard work alone, but to the foundation his family has provided throughout his life.

“My family is first among anything,” said Moses. “Our coaching staff has preached that to us – family first, then academics and then your teammates.

My family is huge in my life.”

For Moses, the best moment at Waynesburg came last season when the Yellow Jackets knocked off a nationally-ranked Thomas More team, 26-23.

“That was a huge game for us. We went down there and felt great and played one heck of a game,” Moses said. “It was a great emotional ride and a great atmosphere to play in.”

But with this final meeting with Washington & Jefferson on the horizon, there is one thing that can top that upset: a PAC Championship ring.

“A win would be a great step for this team,” said Moses.

“It’s been our goal for four years now, and I just want to win it for these seniors more than anything.”

ground and control the time of possession.

Sirianni said he is weary of the big plays, saying Waynesburg can bust them at anytime.

Ngampa, an explosive runner who can take it the distance any time he touches the ball, averages a team best 82 yards a game and six touchdowns.

The other half of the duo, Moore, is tough between-the-tackles runner who grinds out the tough yards. The senior is averaging 71 rushing yards a game. He also has scored six touchdowns.

“It is going to be difficult to stop them,” said Sirianni. “We just want to limit the big plays.”

In order for the Presidents to slow down the Waynesburg rushing attack, senior linebacker Ian Hennessy well need to play his best game the season.

The senior leads W&J with 71 total tackles and is the catalyst of the Presidents’ defense.

what is at stake on Saturday, but that the pressure is undeniable.

Not only is it a rivalry game, but the PAC title and an automatic berth to the Division III playoffs are at stake.

The game will undoubtedly come down to a pressure situation.

Whichever team handles that situation better, will ultimately leave victorious.

For W&J, the game means more than just a title.

“They want to win a PAC title for themselves, but also for Tim,” said Sirianni. “It was something he talked about all the time, so they want it for him more than they want it for themselves.”

For Waynesburg, with at least a share of the PAC title already locked up, Saturday’s game is just another step in their season long journey.

“The only influence that can derail this train is us,” said Shepas. “From this point on, we just need to win.”

Fifty-three percent of 13-year-old girls are unhappy with their appearance and by the age of 17, this number rises to 78 percent.

And although women make up 51 percent of the population, roughly 90 percent of all government officials are male; only 34 women have ever served as governors, compared to 2319 men.

These are only a few of the statistics mentioned in the film “Miss Representation.”

The showing began at 8 and ended shortly after 9, followed by a brief question-and-answer session led by BSU student representative Gracious Shavers.

“We wanted to inform the general audience of the challenges of being a woman in a media-controlled society,” Shavers said.

“This movie offers a point of view that is informative and leads to questions that you would never think of asking.”

‘STOMP’ performance lives up to students’ expectations Angela Wadding Chief Photographer “STOMP” made its way to Pittsburgh this past Friday night although the show has been touring for some twenty-one years. The spectacle was created in the UK by Luke Cresswell and Steve McNicholas. Since then, the show has presented over five thousand times, had a television special on HBO and presented at President Bill Clinton’s Millennium Celebration along with many other accomplishments.

Four faculty members and 34 students attended the event and dinner at the Spaghetti Warehouse.

Thirty-four eager Waynesburg University students and 4 faculty members await the performance of the percussion group “STOMP” at the Benedum Center in Pittsburgh on Friday night.

“Seeing the broom sweeping bit live and the fact that they can dance while they are making music, is pretty cool,”

said Schultz.

The show has only 13 performers and uses an array of instruments. The instruments used in only

one show consist of 30 brooms, 8 lids, 5 short bins, 10 poles, 15 pounds of sand, 4 blocks of athlete’s chalk, 12 drum-

sticks, 200 liters of water, eight bananas and 12 boxes of matches.

All combined create “STOMP.”

Schultz was surprised and entertained with the music they could make out of things they had.

“They made music out of things I would never have thought of. It was all super impressive,” said Schultz.

Megan Peebles, a senior, agreed that the show used everyday things in a creative and unexpected way.

“My favorite part was how they used the pipes to make different notes,” said Peebles.

“Some notes were higher and some were lower depending on the size of the pipe. That was impressive.”

The experience was also a chance for students to hang out with current friends and to even make See ‘STOMP’ on D2

‘My heart sinks’: Pittsburgh Project shocks students Eric Bost Editorial Assistant Last weekend, Waynesburg University students received an inside look into the real Pittsburgh.

Two groups of volunteers aided Pittsburgh residents in the repair of homes. After Hurricane Sandy hit the east coast last week, houses all over the Pittsburgh area were left in shambles.

Although New York and New Jersey received most of the damage, Pittsburgh was peppered with rain for three days.

Fixing the damage caused by all the rain was

the concern of the students as they worked all weekend by fixing two roofs that were hit badly

by Sandy.

Dave Calvario, director of center for student leadership, said that the goal of the weekend trip was to not only help fix Pittsburgh residents’ homes, but to also show them a different side of the city.

“The Pittsburgh Project pushes us outside our comfort zone,” said Calvario. “We get an opportunity to see urban decay going on, which usually we don’t. We typically go to the cultural events and the sporting events.”

Calvario said the group he led helped an older woman repair damage to her three-story home. He said her roof had previously had a hole in it and once the hurricane hit, the roof was destroyed, leaving her entire third floor damaged and wet.

Sophomore psychology major Erin Kern said that she wasn’t used to exposure to that level of poverty.

“When I see that, my heart sinks knowing that people live like that,” said Kern. “Her home had an odor and multiple roof problems. It’s just sad to see.”

This trip was not the first that Kern has participated in. Last year she joined the Pittsburgh Project spring break trip. She has also gone on a few other trips during her college life.

Even with going on all the trips in the past, Kern said it is still an eye opening experience.

“I’m not from around here, so when I go into the city, it’s a cultural shock,” said Kern. “When I go into the city it’s only for Steeler games or things like that, so it’s an eye opener to see someone live off of nothing.”

Calvario said to the

suburbanite, a trip to areas aided by the Pittsburgh Project should elicit shock.

“For most people, there is no reason to go to places like the Hill District,” said Calvario. “There are things that I believe are going to be slowly starting to etch on a person’s heart. I think it starts out small, but then it starts growing and growing as they discern, ‘What are my passions or callings in life?’ And you can’t continue to ignore it because things are just going to continue to get worse.”

Kern said that although she helped fix the

“I got the chance to go out with a few friends and dress up, and goof off. It was fun,” said Shultz.

Peebles attended the event with a few of her roommates but got the chance to make new friends through the event.

“I was able to meet a bunch of freshman while we were there,” said Peebles.

“That was cool.”

Peebles recommends the show to anyone.

“I would definitely recommend seeing “STOMP.” Besides Wicked, this is one of my favorite shows,” she said.

The 90-minute film encourages women to be “agents of change” in a culture that values youth, beauty and sexuality over leadership.

According to the film’s website, it hopes to provide “startling facts and statistics that will leave the audience shaken and armed with a new perspective.”

Waynesburg University students enjoying a meal at the Spaghetti Warehouse in Pittsburgh before the performance of “STOMP.”

Shavers said she heard of the movie through a former BSU member, who enjoyed it and recommended it for this year.

The film featured several notable female figures in the media, ranging from former U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi to prominent female news anchor Katie Couric and comedian Margaret Cho. It also told the stories of young girls working to change the way the women are perceived.

The film’s points were driven home with shocking clips from commercials and television shows – such as The Hills, Toddlers & Tiaras and the

Miss America pageant – as well as music videos and news programs.

According to Shavers, “Miss Representation” really opened her eyes to the negative and overlysexualized way that women are portrayed in the media.

“I know that media had a negative impact on girls, but watching the movie made me realize how much of an impact it has had in our society,” she said.

“Women are thought of being ‘incapable’ for a governmental position or other leadership roles. I think that being a woman does cause a setback at times, but instead of complaining, I learned that I should take action and do something about it.”

Shavers brought the event to a close by asking the audience a few questions, such as what they learned from the film and how they can change how the media portrays girls.

Several students participated in answering these questions, and Shavers hopes that those who attended the showing fully understand the negative impact that the media can have on women today.

“I would hope that students would realize that women are capable of achieving the same goals that men have,” she said.

“Students can help promote equality of gender and allow everyone regardless of gender or race to fulfill their potential.”

playing eight movements of Tanzrhythmen by Paul Juon, whose work the Juon project is dedicated to.

The audience was also enthralled by Night on Bald Mountain by Modest Mussorgsky, which was featured in Disney’s Fantasia (1940) and Dance Macabre by Camille Saint-Saëns.

The musicians closed their performance with History of Tango by Astor Piazzolla.

According to Kraevsky, the work shows “tango as a form

of expression.”

“You can see where tango started from,” he said.

He mentioned that History of Tango was originally composed for the flute and guitar but they were able to find a piano arrangement by Kyoko Yamamoto.

The Juon Project, “The Duet”, is the second performance in the Performing Arts Series presented by the Student Activities Board.

Pat Bristor is responsible for planning The Duet and was disappoint-

ed with the turnout.

Usually fall performances have a better turnout because of Fiat Lux,” said Bristor.

Though Bristor was disappointed with the small audience Thursday, she has hopes for next semester’s series.

Students can expect to see pianist Teresa Walters on Feb. 26 and adult contemporary singersongwriter of Christian music, Fernando Ortega, on April 9.

These concerts will be part of next semester’s Performing Arts Series.

explained that the firm was interested in developing a campaign for breast cancer awareness,” said Renee Bamford, senior public relations major and director of 51 West PR. “She was thrilled and I worked with her to design a list of goals and objectives. The team created the name Pink is the New Greene to honor the breast cancer awareness efforts that Waynesburg businesses and community members [make].”

County Commissioners Pam Snyder and Archie Trader spoke at the Pink is the New Greene event about their experiences and memories with this deadly disease.

“It was amazing to see how thrilled leaders of the community were to lend a helping hand to assist in bringing us closer in the fight against breast cancer,” Bamford said.

Linzy Smith, assistant firm director of 51 West PR, was also pleased with the event’s speakers.

“We had some ideas for speakers, but it turned out better than we imagined by getting two Greene County commissioners to speak at the event,” Smith said. “It’s especially exciting to have such prominent names around the election month.”

The event planners each have their own personal ties to breast cancer that inspired them to promote the cause.

“My close friend Melissa Monk is a two-year survivor of breast cancer,” Bamford said.

“She is not only my mentor, but the strongest person I know. Seeing the

woman’s roof, she felt as though she hadn’t done enough. She felt that more students should get involved, so they can understand.

“I felt like I just put a Band-Aid on the situation like I covered up an open wound,” said Kern.

“It made me feel good about myself, but I don’t feel like I did enough. If we get more people from Waynesburg to help in their own communities, it would help broaden their knowledge of the city and they would get to witness what I saw and how people live like that.”

hardships that she endured gave rise to my passion of working with the ACS to raise awareness and create more birthdays.”

Smith said she is also passionate about the cause because the subject truly hits home for her.

Like many other people Smith knows someone with breast cancer.

“One of my best friend’s mother died of breast cancer last summer,” she said. “It means so much to me to see all the support shown every year.”

The women are hopeful that their efforts will honor those in Greene County who are affected by cancer.

“I am hoping that Pink is the New Greene will honor all of the individuals efforts of Greene County. It is our goal to create impact and help people understand the need for early breast detection and mammograms,” Bamford said.

“I also want this to be an emotional time where leaders of the community and members are able to show their support for survivors and honor lost loved ones. Cancer touches everyone, one way or another and it is our responsibility to become united and show that cancer has no chance for the love we have for each other.”

Smith hopes Pink is the New Greene serves as a reminder that anyone can make a difference in this world.

“I think any time this city gets together, we feel the love and compassion shown throughout the community,” she said.

“It’s a reminder that even our small town in Pennsylvania can make a difference in fighting for a cause.”
