Muskie Marrow Madness

Senior Business Management and Psychology major Brittany Bohm lost her

boyfriend Chad Johnson, also a Lakeland student, a year ago in February to Leukemia.

“There will forever be pain in my heart from losing Chad so young. I’ll get married, I’ll move on—but Chad will always be that person, he was my first true love. He’s the person who showed me my life path. Even though times will change, I will go on—this is truly Chad’s legacy,” said Bohm.

The legacy Bohm refers to is a pair of bone marrow donation drives, hosted Jan. 19 and 29 in the Wehr Center and Bossard Hall, respectively.

The event was coordinated by Bohm and Danielle Rammer, along with the help of Kaye Martin, director of student activities, Sally Bjork, coordinator of student success, and Nate Dehne, vice president of student development. The Phi

Deltas and Ladies softball team also pitched in to help man tables and encourage people to donate at the events.

Also working with Bohm to coordinate the event was Kelli Vanderwielen, a donor recruit specialist with Be The Match, a national organization that raises

awareness about life-threatening diseases such as leukemia, lymphoma, and sickle cell anemia whose victims desperately need bone marrow transplants. Be

The Match compiles a national database of potential donors that could be called at any time to save a life.

Before the first event on Jan. 19, Bohm, who has been on the registry herself since Nov. 2011, set a goal to recruit 126 donors between both events—but at

the first event alone she signed up 141 new people to the bone marrow registry. Her goal for the second event was set a little higher. “We had a goal of 126 for

the two events, and we killed it, so now I’m thinking 126 for the 29th,” said Bohm.

Be The Match does events similar to this at colleges all over Wis., and the average turnout is about 10 percent of the student population. For Lakeland, 10 percent would be around 161, which was easily surpassed on the second day of the event when 164 new students were registered, bringing the grand total to 305.

It is estimated by the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society that 1,012,533 Americans are living with blood cancer, and every ten minutes someone in the United States dies of the disease. Leukemia is also the most prevalent cancer among children.

To get an idea of how badly donors are needed, Bohm emphasizes that donors are almost never found to be matches with someone of a different race, and currently the registry is 70

Lakeland receives scholarship grant

Lakeland College has a repu-tation of providing gener-ous financial aid to the ma-

jority of its students, guaranteeing a quality education to many whom otherwise wouldn’t have had the opportunity—but, does anyone ever stop to consider where that money comes from?

Much of the college’s aid is donated by generous individuals, programs, and companies with a love for education or a great re-spect for Lakeland’s values and mission. The Quality State Oil Company is the latest addition to Lakeland’s list of generous friends, providing the college with a three-year $10,000 grant through the BP Fueling Communities Program. As of Jan. 15, they awarded Lake-land with $3,250, which consti-tutes the second installment of the grant.

“The Quality State Oil gift came through a grant from BP Amoco,” said Director of Major and Planned Gifts Stuart Merritt. “It went into the Sesquicentennial Scholarship fund of the Sesqui-centennial Campaign to provide

scholarships for Lakeland stu-dents—basically, into the school’s general scholarship endowment fund.”

The col-lege’s Sesqui-c e n t e n n i a l Campaign is a three-year $7.0 million c a m p a i g n whose first year focused on funding campus reno-vations but plans to dedi-cate the next two to the Sesquicenten-nial Schol-ars Program, which will provide $3.1 million in need-based scholarships to qualified students.

Fueling Communities is a charitable grant program that makes multi-year commitments to deserving local organizations in order to invest in and support the goodwill and effort of such estab-lishments and their individuals.

These organizations are nominat-ed by BP Branded Marketers, such as the Quality State Oil Company, and must display impeccable

dedication to health, education, y o u t h , food, or housing ef-forts.

T h e grant came to fruition t h r o u g h the efforts of Quality State Oil C o m p a n y Pres ident Greg Bult-man and

W h o l e s a l e M a r k e t i n g M a n a g e r

Scott Stangel. Quality State is a BP distributor based in Sheboy-gan with offices in Sturgeon Bay, Cedarburg, and Casco.

According to its website, the company is a full-line petroleum distributor. In fact, Quality State is a preferred branded distribu-tor for BP, CITGO EXXON, and

MOBIL fuel brands. Additionally, Q Mart Marketplace is a wholly owned subsidiary of the company.

Aside from their support of Lakeland College, Quality State and Q Mart also invest in and vol-unteer time to a variety of chari-ties and organizations, their cho-sen focus being on the efforts of the Muscular Dystrophy Associa-tion (MDA). Recent involvement includes “The 2012 Quality State Oil/CITGO MDA Golf Challenge,” “The MDA Shamrocks Against Dystrophy Fund Raiser,” and “The JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes.”

Learning about the individu-als, companies, and programs that contribute to Lakeland College and the welfare of its students can be a rewarding experience, allowing the campus community to express its sincere gratification whenever possible.

Why, oh why, did the rooster cross the road?

Joe the Rooskie was a beloved rooster whose life came to a sudden end over Christmas

Break.Nancy Grandillo, wife of Dr.

Michael Grandillo, was going to leave Joe on campus over break instead of bringing him back to Ohio because friend Kathy Harkin offered to take care of him.

“When I forgot my phone and went back to campus for it, Joe decided to hop in the car to show that he wanted to come along too,” said Grandillo. She decided to let him come along after all and put him into a carrier.

On Christmas morning, the Grandillos made the unfortunate discovery on their way to church. They found his body in the street after being run over by a car. He was not even two years old yet.

The Grandillos decided to bring his body back to Lakeland so he can be buried on campus as soon as the ground thaws.

Joe hatched in spring of 2011. He came to the Grandillos with six other chicks and was the only rooster. “Joe and a hen made it through the winter, but the hen disappeared in March 2012,” said Grandillo.

Joe’s life may have been short,

but he was still able to enjoy many things. Grandillo said Joe loved watching kids walk to and from school and that children in the neighborhood would take a daily walk with their parents or caregivers to see the rooster. Joe

also enjoyed roosting in a tree at night when he was not placed into the coop.

When the Rooskie came to Lakeland, he did the same activities, but on a larger scale. He walked around campus, roosted in a tree overnight, and crowed at dawn. The only difference was that it was a larger area and he had more people to watch.

Unfortunately, Joe had one

major flaw—he wasn’t afraid of cars. He liked getting close to the road, despite the danger. Even at Lakeland one could see him in the road walking around.

While in Tiffin, Ohio, Joe also had a run in with the law. He made

the papers when the Grandillos’ ne ighbors called the p o l i c e a b o u t

him. You could keep chickens in Ohio, but not roosters because of the noise. “When the police were called about Joe, I got a warning from the officer and, in the paper, the police report claimed there was a rooster at large,” said Grandillo. “Everyone knew who it was.”

There are a couple of facts

about Joe that many may not have known. One is that Dr. Grandillo named him when they arrived at Lakeland. Another is that he and the Grandillos’ dog, Tipper, got along perfectly. “They loved to play tag,” said Grandillo. “The cat even got along with him. He was also a very social bird if you let him approach you.”

Grandillo also said Joe seemed to get along better with women than with men.

Grandillo is planning to get

more chicks in the spring and, if another rooster happens to be in the mix, he will be welcomed, too.

Joe the Rooskie may not have made it past one semester at Lakeland College, but his memory will last among the students who knew him for that short time.

Phi Delta fundraiser needs your bears

Giving children in need a glimmer of hope, the Phi Delta Omega sorority

is spending this week and next weekend collecting teddy bears for ill children.

The main goal for this drive is to give these children a teddy bear in order to help these children go through what can best be described as traumatic times in their life. This simple gesture plays a large role in giving hope to these children, and can help bring their life back to normality if only momentarily.

The teddy bear drive has been in effect for 5 years, and this year

looked to build upon the success of the previous years. This program was headed by Kerri Fitzgibbon,

a senior English literature major and the vice president of the Phi Delta Omega sorority, who

described the drive as “a great program, to be able to put a smile on the faces of these kids who are going through so much, it really is a good feeling.”

Relying upon the donations of the local community, this program has seen subsequent success year after year. The teddy bears have been collected from all over the county, but a large proportion of the bears come from the

Lakeland College community. Fitzgibbon said, “The faculty

plays a large role in the donations…without them the program would

not be as successful as it has”.Students’ favorite Teddy Bear

Shot returned this year as part of the drive, in which students paid $1 to throw teddy bears at hula hoops in hope of winning prizes. It took place during Wednesday’s woman’s basketball game, and everyone who participated won the prize of knowing that they were helping a child in need.

Phi Delta Omega sorority is the director of the drive, and has been a campus leader in community work since its inception in 1970. Founded upon the desire to make a difference in their community, this group has embraced the idea of making the community better one program at a time.

Lakeland College football great Pat Curran was se-lected on Sept. 5 to be one

of thirteen inductees into the prestigious National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics Hall of Fame in the Football Category. This distinguished honor is given every year to several individuals in recognition of their great con-tributions to a specific collegiate sport.

Curran graduated from Lakeland College in 1972 after being named to the NAIA All-American team and was drafted in the sixth round of the 1969 NFL

Draft. He would spend the next ten seasons in the NFL playing for both the Los Angeles Rams and San Diego Chargers.

During his time playing running back for the Muskies, Curran managed to break every single scoring record, and many of his records remain unbroken some 40 years later. Among these outstanding records were six touchdowns in a single game and 51 career

touchdowns, as well as 1,025 yards gained in a single season and

2,502 yards gained during a career. Following his long career in

the NFL, Curran began working

for the Chargers organization as both a business manager and

an analyst. After many years surrounded by professional football, Curran made the transition into the business world as an employee of the international tool company Snap-on. He has found success in the business world and is still employed at the same company.

Curran was not the only Lakeland College Muskie elected to the hall of fame, as the legendary Basketball coach Duane “Moose” Woltzen was also elected to the NAIA hall

of fame this year. Woltzen won over 11 conference championships in men’s basketball and posted

a total record of 536 wins to just 229 losses. After a long and distinguished career as a coach at Lakeland, Woltzen would go on to become the Athletic Director at Lakeland.

Lakeland College has housed a plethora of athletic greats over the course of its existence and the induction of these two alumni is just one of many ways their legacies are celebrated and live on in the hearts of the Lakeland community and beyond.

All of the information for this article was gathered off of the NAIA National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics 2013 Hall Of Fame Inductees website.

Schwarz and Ward make Muskie basketball history

Senior Jake Schwarz and Junior Justin Ward made Muskie basketball history

on Jan. 20 when Schwarz broke

the Lakeland men’s basketball all-time scoring record and Ward became the 39th men’s player to reach 1,000 career points.

To top off a perfect day, the Muskie men dominated Rockford College 77-65. Schwarz made a three-pointer to break the previ-ous record of 2,008, which had

been held since the early 1980’s by John Koslowski.

Schwarz hit three three-pointers and scored a total of 22 points in order to achieve record holder status.

He is only the third basket-ball player in Lakeland history to reach at least 2,000 points.

Teammate Ward also hit a three-pointer to cement his name in Lakeland sports history by joining the exclusive 1,000-point league and, like Schwarz, finished the game with 22 points total. Ward had his eye on the prize from early on, scoring ten consec-utive points in the second half.

Dear Uncle Crabby, What is the best way to

break someone’s heart?

Sincerely, Earnest

Dear Earnest, Either you meant to ask

what the best way to break up

A satisfying breakfast is easy to make and tastes great with a hot cup of coffee

Did you eat your breakfast today?

Have the sweet and satisfying treat of raspberry-dark chocolate banana bread.

Weekday mornings can be hectic, rushed, and downright unpleasant for many college students.

They can be made slightly more bearable, however, if you have a yummy treat to grab as you’re walking out the door. I found this banana bread recipe on recipeboy.com and was sold when I discovered it takes a spin on the traditional recipe by adding dark chocolate chips and raspberries.

This bread tastes great with coffee, and it’s perfect for breakfast or even a midnight study snack!

Ingredients: 2 cups all-purpose flour3/4 tsp baking soda1/2 tsp salt1 cup granulated white

sugar1/2 stick unsalted

butter, room temperature2 large eggs1 1/2 cups mashed ripe

banana (about 3 bananas) 1/3 cup plain low fat

yogurt1 tsp vanilla extract1 cup dark chocolate

chips or chunks1 cup halved

raspberries, tossed in 1 tbsp all-purpose flour

(Tip for raspberries: it works best if the raspberries are relatively firm; don’t use recently-washed or mushy fruit.)

Directions: 1. Preheat oven to 350°F.

Spray a 9x5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray.

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda,

and salt. 3. In a separate large bowl,

beat the sugar and butter with an electric mixer at medium speed until well blended (about 1 minute). Add the eggs one at a

time, beating well after each addition. Add the banana, yogurt, and vanilla; beat until blended. Stir in the flour mixture, just until moist. Don’t over-mix. Stir in the chocolate chunks and then gently stir in the raspberries. You can add a few more raspberries and chocolate chips to the top for some added prettiness if you’d like.

4. Spoon the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 50- 60 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean (if the sides are browning faster than the

middle, put some tin foil around the edges while the bread finishes cooking). Cool for 15 minutes in the pan on a wire rack. Remove from pan and cool completely on the wire rack. Enjoy!

If you want to break up with someone properly, you need to text them. It’s clean and crisp and no one gets hurt.

If you really want to break someone’s heart on purpose, you are an insensitive person who may need therapy. And if that’s the case, what you do

Lakeland promises a pool and more to students

Lakeland students were thrilled last week when President Grandillo first

leaked the information that Lakeland College would soon be constructing an Olympic size pool.

However, the excitement turned into a lot of mixed feelings as more information was made available to the student body.

Apparently the plans that are going into place to build the pool do not include human swimmers. President Grandillo and Dean Meg Albrinck made a statement last Friday to explain the confusion.

“I would like to formally apologize for any confusion and hurt feelings that may have resulted from the premature

availability of certain information regarding a pool on campus,” Grandillo said Friday.

“The bad news for all you swimmers out there is that the pool will not be open for students to swim in. The good news for all you animal lovers out there is that the pool will be used as a habitat element for animals in our Zoological Learning Center, or ZooLC.”

While quite a few athletes were disappointed by this news, the majority of the student body appeared happy about the announcement.

Particularly, the Biology Department was pleased with the proposed use of the pool. ZooLC is scheduled to be finished completely by early May and will be located near the baseball diamond.

Albrinck explained that a “generous grant was awarded to Lakeland, so we felt it was time to finally take on this big project.”

Grandillo went on to explain that the pool would be positioned in the center of a larger area dedicated to the ZooLC. The pool will be partitioned into sections with sufficient land joined to each section, allowing for various species to be displayed and studied there.

“Due to the weather we’ve been experiencing lately,” said Grandillo, “we will be starting with a small group of polar bears, which will be allowed to swim in their section of the pool and to romp about on the land alongside it. Each species will be contained within a sturdy fence to prevent any mishaps.”

Other sections of the pool

will include penguins and small mutant sharks. The sharks, of course will not be given land on which to tread. Grandillo surprised students once more when he announced what would be in the fourth and final partition of the pool.

“In the interest of keeping all students safe,” said Grandillo, “we will be relocating the crocodiles from the moat beneath the entrance’s bridge so that they can live in the environment we will design for them in the pool.”

Students who had previously thought the crocodiles were just a myth instantly went into a panic, but security personnel kept the crowd at bay as Grandillo and Albrinck persuaded them that there was no reason to fear.

Apparently, the crocodiles are completely docile and harmless

this time of year and will only go hunting for fresh meat when spring comes around.

By that time, Lakeland officials expect to have the crocodiles and other water-loving creatures contained in ZooLC. Also included in ZooLC will be panda bears, komodo dragons, and most of the original 151 Pokémon.

“We hope that this Zoological Learning Center will be a great opportunity for everyone on campus, not just biology majors,” said Albrinck.

The plans for ZooLC down the road include an insect house that is set to be completed in the fall of 2015 and a robotically-guided tour of all the animals in their habitats.

Grandillo said, “ZooLC is truly the future of Lakeland College.”

Top 4 Lakeland stories of the 2012

For many, the start of a new year is often a time for reso-lutions, self-improvement,

and the beginning of a clean slate. It can also be a good time for some reflection on the previous year.

2012 was the year that we landed on Mars, that Hurricane Sandy devastated the East Coast, that the apocalypse did not happen, and that Gangnam Style became a thing. 2012 at Lakeland College, although on a bit of a smaller scale, also happened to be a year of great excitement and change.

1. Retirement of Dr. Stephen A. Gould

Dr. Stephen Gould said goodbye to Lakeland College in May of 2012, after 42 years at the school. Many of those years were

spent as an instructor of German, beginning in 1970. He crossed into the field of administration in 1979, and he became Lakeland’s 14th president in 1998. Gould had originally announced his retirement in 2010 after a kidney failure that resulted in a grim diagnosis. He received a vital transplant, however, and he was able to serve as president for one more year while the college searched for a replacement.

2. Dr. Michael A. Grandillo named president

In early April of 2012, Grandillo was announced as the 15th president of Lakeland College, replacing Gould. He took office in July and has many plans for the college, including an increase in the number of students enrolling, as well as a focus on connecting with the community

and servicing others. In October of 2012, Grandillo was officially inaugurated as the President of Lakeland College.

3. NFL Hall-of-Famer Kellen Winslow heads Athletic Department

In September of 2012, Kellen Winslow was named the Athletic Director of Lakeland College. He is also leading development in a college-wide focus on health and wellness that has already lead to some new changes around campus, such as eliminating the trays in the school’s cafeteria. Winslow was invited to Lakeland by President Grandillo himself; the two men knew each other in Ohio through mutual business acquaintances.

4. Sesquicentennial Celebration

2012 marked 150 years of

existence for Lakeland College, an exciting landmark and accomplishment for the school. There were numerous celebratory activities happening all year round, most notably the All-College reunion in June, which more than 1,100 alumni and friends attended, the London theatre trip, which was open to students and alumni, and the “Great Thinkers” series of speakers. Students, faculty, and almuni alike enjoyed the sesquicentennial festivities of 2012.

2012 was a very impressive year for Lakeland College. Where there were losses, there were also gains. There was celebration, and there was tradition. Whether or not 2013 will turn out to be as momentous as 2012 was, we must only wait to find out.

Ridiculous Review


Lakelanders go to EnglandLondon Theatre Trip experiences the sights and sounds of LondonBy michelle FrommManaging [email protected]

The ENG 123 London Theater Trip was the highlight of the holiday

season for a group of nine Lakeland students led by Dr. Linda Tolman, professor of English, and Charlie Krebs, associate professor of theatre and speech. Alumni and significant others also came along as they traveled to Stratford-Upon-Avon, Bath, Stonehenge, Oxford, and London.

The group of fifteen total left Chicago for England the day after Christmas and returned on Jan. 5 with five more theatrical productions under their belts, in addition to a number of sights and sounds from another land and—in some cases—from another time.

Krebs described the trip as “a doable cultural immersion” because of the way the trip was designed to “take [students] outside of their comfort zones” without becoming too overwhelming.

Tolman, the main leader for the trip, said that she wanted “people to get a sense of confidence in their abilities to travel on their own,” so the trip was designed to have extra time during the day for students to see the sights on their own or in small groups, later coming together to see evening theatre productions.

“There was a balance between structured things and free time for what they wanted to do,” said Tolman.

The structured items on the agenda included the mandatory plays and musicals, a visit to Westminster Abbey for Evensong

(an evening service), a ride on the London Eye, and group dinners at some of Tolman’s favorite local restaurants.

Regarding the theatrical productions that the students attended and analyzed for their studies, Tolman—assisted by Krebs, who is learning the ropes for future trips—selected for

the trip only the productions with the highest ratings from critical reviewers. All the plays and musicals that the group saw together had been awarded either

four or five stars.The group began their journey

with several days in Stratford-Upon-Avon, a place that seemed almost frozen in time since William Shakespeare’s birth there in 1564. The Lakeland travelers toured the town and the various landmarks made significant by the famous playwright, such as Anne

Hathaway’s (wife of Shakespeare) cottage and Holy Trinity Church, where Shakespeare was buried.

“When I stood in the room where Shakespeare was born,

I was almost in tears,” said Krebs, “ [ b e c a u s e they were the] same four walls where he wrote some of the things that meant so much to me. To walk some of the streets he walked down was beyond words.”

Each day a different

student presented findings to the group related to a specific relevant, cultural or historical topic. These reports continued on a nearly daily basis throughout the trip and included information on Warwick Castle, Buckingham Palace, and Royal Albert Hall.

“It was cool to see students experience a new culture, from theatre to food to what side of the street they drive on,” said Krebs.

In Stratford the group got their first tastes of British theatre with Boris Godunov and The Orphan of Zhao at the Swan Theatre.

The group was literally dodging the actors’ spit as they sat in the front rows at both productions, a “once in a lifetime opportunity,” which Tolman says was made possible due to her associate membership with the Royal Shakespeare Company.

40th anniversary of Roe vs. WadeJan. 22 marked the 40th an-

niversary of the Roe v. Wade decision. The decision re-

sulted from a Supreme Court hearing and overturned many existing state laws that stated that women were not legally al-lowed to have abortions. Roe v. Wade has made abortion avail-able to women during the first trimester without any legal re-striction. Beyond the first tri-mester, abortion is legal when the mother’s life is endangered due to the pregnancy.

Since the Roe v. Wade decision, approximately 55 million American babies have had their lives terminated. We encountered this staggeringly disturbing statistic while attending Wisconsin Right to Life’s 40-year anniversary Roe

v. Wade commemorative concert. At the concert, two bands

played, but the main purpose was to raise awareness and funds for Wisconsin to fight the national decision that was made 40 years ago. The first speaker at the concert was Rev. Donald J. Hying.

Hying pointed out to the attendees, “It is legal to kill babies in the womb [in the United States], but it is not legal to kill a bald eagle in its egg.”

His point was, of course, that America places more value on a bald eagle’s life than a human’s life. And we would like to assert to you today that this double standard of life is wrong, and America needs a change of attitude.

Some would argue that abortion is alright—at least in the first trimester—because the baby

is dependent on his or her mother, and so cannot be considered his or her own person. These people consider the baby to be a part of the woman’s body.

But a baby’s heart will begin beating on its own within that first trimester, though it cannot be heard until the ninth or tenth week of the pregnancy. Furthermore, one must consider that the so-called “fetus” also has his or her own unique set of DNA from the very moment of conception when the sperm fertilizes the egg.

How could you say that the baby is somehow a part of the mother’s body if the baby has his or her own heartbeat and the baby’s DNA does not match the mother’s?

Some claim to be against abortion because they believe it

is murder, and yet some say that they still want women to be able to have the choice of whether or not to have an abortion.

Those who take these contrasting views as their combined political and moral stance are contradicting themselves. We can all agree that murder is wrong, so if someone believes something is murder, they should not support it in any way. Either someone is pro-life or pro-choice; in this debate, you cannot be both.

Additionally, why should abortion be considered a superior option to adoption? Doesn’t adoption allow for a mother to be “free” of the unwanted baby and still give that baby a chance to live life?

Ridiculous ReviewClassic American fare at local restaurant

The contemporarily homey American atmosphere was paired with an industrial

feeling in the cool air in the restaurant which we would be dining that evening. We placed our orders with a friendly young servitor who was happy to accommodate modifications to the menu items, though with a somewhat incredulous look upon his face. His classic all-black attire was well-maintained.

The arrival of our entrees was surprisingly prompt. We were bidden to fill our own glasses with beverages of our choice at the self-service c a r b o n a t e d beverage fountain, which lent itself to the casual and home-like atmosphere. Special beverages were made by hand by the staff, and included an assortment of smoothies and coffee-based drinks.

The rather sweet mocha was topped off with a flourish of whipped cream and chocolate drizzle. However, the cream was very quick to melt into the drink before it could be thoroughly admired. The temperature of the mocha itself allowed the drink to be consumed just a short while after being served.

Another satisfying option from the drinks menu was the mango pineapple smoothie. The ice was fully blended within the

beverage and did not contain any undesirable ice-chunks. The mixture of flavors flowed together excellently, for the balance of mango with pineapple created a deliciously sweet taste.

The grilled chicken club sandwich could have been served warmer. However, the Swiss cheese was melted delicately across the boneless chicken breast. Unfortunately, the same heat that had, at some point, melted the cheese, also caused the slice of tomato to become sloppy and mealy. The chicken itself was

flavorful and thoroughly cooked. Upon biting into the

mushroom Swiss burger, the combination of spices and condiments used to season the patty and mushrooms was palatable. However, the Angus patty was a bit dry and had a slightly grainy texture. Nonetheless, the burger was well-prepared, for the Swiss cheese was fully melted and the ingredients were surprisingly placed neatly on the bun.

A quarter-pound burger at this establishment is a taste of the traditional American fare. The sizable and somewhat moist

ground beef patty is right at home amongst its conventional companions: k e t c h u p , mustard, raw onion slices, pickles, and A m e r i c a n c h e e s e . W h i l e nothing to

write home about, the burger is an e n j o y a b l e

addition to the menu.The barbeque sauce on the

boneless rib sandwich tasted tangy on the tongue. The portion of pork rib on the sandwich exceeded expectations, for the restaurant supplied a generous proportion of meat to bread. Additionally, the combination of the delicious barbeque sauce with the raw onions and pickles upon a soft bun was the perfect combination.

A side of fries could be included with each sandwich, in keeping with the friendly American appeal. The portion size of this side dish was appropriate,

and it was apparent why customers often comment on the quality of the restaurant’s French fries. They were not too soggy, not too crispy, not too salty, and were served at an enjoyably warm temperature.

Though the e s t a b l i s h m e n t

offered both ice cream and apple pie for dessert, we were forced to combine this pairing on our own at the table—a somewhat disappointing inconvenience for the customer. However, once the apple pie a la mode had been assembled and drizzled with caramel, its appeal was enchanting.

As we ate, we observed that the atmosphere of the restaurant was greatly improved by the fact that rowdy children were contained within a glass case, which included variously colored-playthings for their amusement.

The only negative aspect that the atmosphere contained was that business matters were being

conducted within the dining area, rather than in the manager’s office. During our meal, we observed no less than two potential employees being interviewed for various positions.

Overall, the food and experience sufficiently pleased us, and we shall be sure to visit McDonald’s once again.

“Over Christmas Break I baked cookies with my mom.”

I wanted to write this column with a dash of funny; with a humorous perspective and

light-heartedness about issues I found, at the very least, odd.

Unfortunately, while fish-ing for prospective topics for my first column, I happened to find myself driving behind a truck with a confederate flag sticker on it.

Immediately, my mind floated back to all of the times I’ve seen people with this thing hanging in their yards, off their vehicles, and on their clothing.

Opinions, I believe, are not the kind of thing one should express in a newspaper, so I’ll explain this as objectively as possible.

Perhaps a few of these flag-wavers don’t understand what they are implying.

Many people assume that when they see a confederate flag, its bearer holds the position of the Confederate Army. This may be shocking to some, but get this, pay attention now:

The Confederate Army fought to keep slavery legal.

Apparently, this is not common knowledge. Presenting this flag in any manner ties one to the idea that slavery should be legal.

I just wanted to be sure we were all aware of this in case there was some misunderstand-ing. If that is not clear, simply be sure that the sight of the con-

federate flag invokes extremely negative responses in people.

In Germany, any representa-tion of the swastika is forbidden. Although that flag had a some-what different message, the ban of its usage is clear enough.

The United States of America is a wonderful place to live for most of us. The most wonderful thing about it is FREEDOM.

We are free to fly confeder-ate flags, free to express our opin-ions and free to like or dislike whomever we choose.

I only want to be sure that when I choose to like or dis-like someone, there is no mis-take about the messages they are sending.

By Leah ULatowskiCopy [email protected] think, there are many

prospective parents who want to adopt because they themselves are unable to have children of their own. So, every time a child is aborted, the opportunity for a hopeful future parent to adopt that child is lost. Some people are already parents, but would welcome the addition of a non-biological child. So even if a mother considering abortion does not want the child, she should consider allowing the child to be adopted because there are people across America who would love that child.

Another argument for abortion is that getting rid of the child gets rid of harmful stress that the mother may be experiencing due to her pregnancy.

Unfortunately, we’ve heard the stories of many women who have had abortions in their pasts, and the choice they made years or even decades before can be one that still haunts them. Abortion is not the answer to getting rid of bad feelings about a pregnancy; it only changes the nature of those feelings.

Furthermore, abortion does not just affect the mother of the child. The choice to abort a child is one that impacts that whole child’s family, especially—in many cases—the father of the

child. What if the father wants to keep the child, but the mother does not? By the mother making a pro-choice decision, the father does not legally have the right to decide to keep the child himself.

There are plenty of other reasons to take the abortion option out of the picture. With the remembrance of the Roe v. Wade decision in mind, Wisconsin should fight back to overturn the legalization of abortion which should never have been made 40 years ago.

According to Wisconsin Right to Life, approximately 20 babies are aborted every day in Wisconsin alone. But the number of Wisconsin abortions is decreasing each year, partly thanks to the efforts of Wisconsin Right to Life. In 1980, about 21,000 children were aborted, but in 2011, that number decreased to about 7,000.

If you would like to support the pro-life cause or find more information about the Roe v. Wade decision, visit wrtl.org, the Wisconsin Right to Life webpage. There is a lot more information to discover.

The website also has information about future events relating to the pro-life cause. So get out there and make a difference!

Lakeland campus on alert for the fluFlu cases doubled since last yearBy Amy KumrowStaff [email protected]

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced on Jan.

11 that the 2012-2013 cases of the flu have reached epidemic propor-tions.

With the peak of flu season not until late January, students of Lakeland College are urged to take extra precautions.

With flu cases reported as early as October, the CDC said this was the earliest flu season in a decade. Outbreaks of the flu in Wis., as of Jan. 5, are considered widespread or occurring in areas representing over 50 percent of the state’s population.

Rachael Cabral-Guevara, family nurse practitioner-board certified and temporary nurse practitioner for Lakeland College, has been working overtime at her practice in Green Bay seeing as many as 40 patients with flu-like symptoms within a single week.

“The campus has been really lucky,” said Cabral-Guevara. “It’s amazing no one has gotten sick. [It means] you’re doing something

right.” The campus health center has

had no reportable cases of the flu for this season.

Sherry Carstens, registered nurse for the Lakeland Health Clinic, said, “The flu season hasn’t reached its peak. I won’t be sur-prised if we see things within the new few weeks.”

In the county, Dale Hippensteel, Health Officer for Sheboygan Health Department, has on record 21 people hospi-talized, but no deaths have been reported.

For the state, Claire Smith of Wisconsin Department of Health Services has confirmed 4,249 cases of influenza.

In comparison to last year’s flu season, the number has nearly doubled. Wisconsin has had one pediatric and four adult deaths.

Numbers may not be en-tirely accurate due to a lack of testing. Most clinics, including Lakeland’s, will not test for the flu. A diagnosis is often based off of symptoms presented. Testing for the flu is expensive, and most times the results are positive.

Those who have not received

the flu shot are encouraged to get one as a precautionary measure.

This year’s flu vaccine in-cludes the three types of flu: H3N2, H1N1, and Influenza B. H3N2 is the most common and most likely to cause complications.

Micheal Jhung of the CDC states, “Flu viruses change all the time. They change in big ways, which gives them a different H and N designation, and they change in small ways.

So last year’s H3N2 can be a little bit different from this year’s H3N2 virus. If you’ve been ex-posed to a similar virus, you’ll have some protection, but not full protection.”

Lakeland students should be aware the vaccination will not protect them from all the flu strains. Each flu season, the CDC tries to match identified strains and guess how the flu will mutate. All flu strains, however, have simi-lar symptoms.

Though anti-viral medi-cations are available, such as Tamiflu, overuse of anti-viral medications has lead to anti-viral resistant viruses, just as overuse of antibiotics has lead to antibi-

otic resistant bacteria. Students should be reminded the flu is caused by a virus; therefore, anti-biotics will not help them.

Only those at high risk for flu complications, like children under two and the elderly, are recommended to receive anti-viral medication.

Additionally, the medications are only effective if taken within the first two days of symptoms.

Cabral-Guevera warns stu-dents that there are two types of flu spreading rapidly: a respiratory and a gastrointestinal. Students could pick up the virus off campus and need to be aware of the symp-toms due to the highly contagious nature of the virus.

Respiratory symptoms in-clude a high temperature, nausea, a sore throat, and a lot of clear nasal drainage, resulting in the usage of at least half a Kleenex box daily.

After about three to four days, the symptoms will disappear as the virus moves into the chest and causes coughing and shortness of breath lasting approximately a week and a half.

The gastrointestinal flu will

last about one week. Symptoms include a low grade fever followed by vomiting and diarrhea.

Cabral-Guevera stresses the importance of staying hydrated by drinking lots of fluids. Sport drinks such as Gatorade could be beneficial to replacing the loss of electrolytes during the flu.

“The biggest thing for preven-tion is good hand washing,” said Cabral-Guevera. “It is a strong virus and spreads quickly.”

Other precautions students can take are avoiding close contact with individuals and wear a mask if coughing. A person coughing or with a fever is contagious and can spread the flu.

Any student coming down with flu-like symptoms and con-cerned can call the Health Center at (920) 565-1523 to schedule an appointment at the Health Center located in Student Services in Brotz Hall.

Sherry Carstens is available Monday–Friday 8 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. and Rachael Cabral-Guevara will be available on Wednesdays from 1 p.m. – 5 p.m.

Understanding the Benghazi attack

The 2012 anniversary of Sept. 11 was further marred by yet another tragedy when

at least 150 heavily armed Islamist militants charged and burned the American Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, during a lightly defended United States diplomatic mission. Four Americans were killed, including U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens.

Officials released little more information than the above and major media outlets consequently moved on. Additionally, the incident occurred in the midst of a heated presidential campaign that served as a massive distraction to Americans.

For college students and others with exhaustive schedules, such elements were enough to make a few miss the news entirely.

“I really have no idea [about Benghazi],” said Katherine Zielsdorf, freshman elementary education major. “I haven’t heard much about it.”

Today, one is hard pressed to find citizens well informed on the attack as it disappears from the headlines.

Director of Communications David Gallianetti speculates that the politicized discussions surrounding Benghazi have turned some Americans off from the story. He also thinks popular culture sometimes overshadows such news.

“If you asked students about the Manti Te’o pretend girlfriend thing, I’ll bet 70-80 percent of them would have heard of it,” said Gallianetti. “We’re an entertainment driven culture. I think increasingly news outlets have elevated entertainment news as more real news, and there is news value to the Manti Te’o story, but if you weigh it against the Benghazi story it doesn’t quite hold the same amount of weight.”

Gallianetti said, “I also think for a lot of people if it’s happening a world away it is easier to turn it off. It happened in a place that a lot of Americans have never been before. We’ve become a culture that if we can’t visualize it and we can’t touch it, then it becomes less real to us.”

No one was outside the Benghazi consulate as Ambassador Stevens saw off a Turkish diplomat. Later in the evening, over a hundred Islamist militants, armed with weapons ranging from rocket-propelled grenades to AK-47s, flooded into the compound.

Terrorists began a diesel fuel fire while Stevens fled to a safe room. It is presumed he exited through a window.

Overcome with smoke inhalation, pictures and reports from Lebanese News Agencies lead to speculation he was sodomized and dragged through the streets before being brought to a hospital where he couldn’t be revived, unbeknownst to surviving

colleagues until the following day when his body was returned.

Foreign Service Officer Sean Smith was also killed. The New York Times reports Smith, an avid online gamer, messaged another player indicating he feared for his life, then wrote “GUNFIRE!” before disconnecting. The online community did not seek help, claiming such incidents often happened to Smith without consequence.

Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods, former Navy SEALs serving as diplomatic security in Benghazi, fell while aiding others and defending the consulate.

Patricia Smith, mother of Sean, and Charles Woods, father of Tyrone, expressed to UT San Diego that they feel President Obama is responsible for the deaths. Like these parents, some Americans were left reeling from sentiments of confusion and even suspicion after the tragedy.

“They were probably covering something up,” said Krissy Olson, junior English major. “They said it was a protest to some video that no one had heard of.”

The Obama Administration’s response to the attack took many turns. One cause for concern being their labeling the attack a protest turned violent against the anti-Islamic viral video “Innocence of Muslims,” created by Californian filmmaker Sam Bacile.

Secretary of State Hilary Clinton stated it was a response to “inflammatory” internet material.

U.S. envoy Susan Rice appeared in a series of interviews directly citing the video.

Obama alluded to it in his speech in the Rose Garden on Sept. 12 and, in an interview for 60 Minutes, stated he didn’t label the attack terrorism because “it’s too early to know.”

This occurred even as President of Libya Mohamed Magariaf insisted it was a premeditated act of terror and reports indicated U.S. Intelligence informed the administration of the militia within 72 hours of the attack.

As public details emerged pointing to extremist militia Ansar al-Shariah and Al Qaeda affiliates, officials retracted their statements while Obama insisted he labeled the incident as terror from the beginning when confronted by Governor Mitt Romney.

Officials were under fire when 166 pages of internal State Department documents revealed Stevens and his colleagues consistently alerted superiors about violence in Libya and the need for security precautions.

CNN released information from Stevens’ diary, which detailed his fear of being on an Al-Qaeda hit list.

Fox News reported that a request for military back-up from a CIA annex a mile from the attack was denied by the CIA chain of command. Told to “stand down,” Woods denied these orders and aided victims.

The annex was also attacked and a member of the team was on the roof manning a machine gun when mortars were fired at the CIA compound. He had a laser on the target responsible and requested back-up support from a Spectre gunship, used by U.S. Special Operations forces to support Special Operations teams on the ground, to no avail.

CIA spokespersons denied the claims. U.S. veterans have shared publicly that an officer wouldn’t take such action unless positive the gunship or nearby drones were armed as using a laser gives away one’s position and is otherwise certain doom.

The congressional investigation has been unfruitful. Former Director of CIA David Petraeus’ extramarital affair overshadowed his unrevealing testimony. Clinton’s was rescheduled after complications with a blood clot. She testified Jan. 23 that she doesn’t think it matters whether the attack was a protest or an act of terror.

The Tunisian government recently set free Ali Ani al-Harzi, a member of Ansar al-Sharia and prime suspect in the attack. The only person imprisoned is Bacile, whose video was proven not responsible.

The Benghazi incident is an unfinished story, one in jeopardy of fading away before it ever achieves closure.

There is a long table with snacks and refreshments, a soft light illuminating the

artwork of six Lakeland seniors—crafted over their years as Lake-land students—and a large gath-ering of Lakeland students and community members who have gathered to hear these six Lake-land students discuss and display their work.

This is just a taste of the scene that took place Jan. 25 in the Bradley Center for the Lakeland Senior Art Exhibit.

The six students participat-ing in this year’s art exhibit, a requirement for all Lakeland art majors, included Justin Reminger, a graphics design major with a minor in communications; Lori Thenen, an art major with an emphasis in graphic design and studio; Christine Deitte, an art major with an emphasis in graphic design and a minor in communi-cations; Tory Hayner, also an art major with an emphasis in graphic design; Craig Dekarske an art major with a studio emphasis; and Cody Schell, an art major with a graphic design emphasis.

The six students took turns talking about their work, their experience at Lakeland, and the things that inspired their work.

A group of Lakeland students and community members moved from display to display offering questions and comments on the artists’ work.

Reminger, when discuss-ing what most inspired his work stated, “All my fellow students who are great artists really push me to up my ante, and to be able to display my work in the same exhibit as them is really an honor.”

The other artists in the group mentioned people like friends and great teachers who helped and in-spired them to create the pieces they created.

The work of these students will stay on display in the Bradley building until Feb. 24.

So for students or community members who missed the event, or who simply want to give the pieces another look, they can visit the Bradley anytime between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday to see the artwork on display.

Funny February Comedians

If you are looking for some-thing to do on Tuesday nights, then this is the perfect event

for you. Four stand-up comedians will be coming in February, and one will be featured every Tues-day night of the month at 9 p.m. in the Pub for free.

On Feb. 5, Seaton Smith will be perform-ing his stand up act. Common subject matters include race, gender, and sexuality, but Smith handles them with care and approaches the topics from different angles. He began practicing at a young age when he created the “Make the Applesauce come out of the Nose”

bit, which is now a famous routine by him. Other acts have tried it, but only he has dared to eat it after it came out of his nostrils. Time Out New Y o r k s t a t e s , “ T h i s s p i r i t e d

comic and recent D.C. transplant is easy to laugh at and hard to replicate.”

Feb. 12 is when Chris James will take the stage. He is a British comedian who started as a model

in New York, but then switched to comedy when he started vis-iting more comedy clubs than runways. He is well-known in

the United States, the United Kingdom, and South Africa. James is famous for his British

accent, impressions, and charac-ters. He even appeared on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. His shows include act-outs, which is when he acts out a joke, different char-acters, and stories.

Samuel J. Comroe will be at

the pub on Feb. 19. He grew up in a family of nine who kept the shy-ness out of him. Comroe struggled with being accepted after he was

diagnosed with Tourette’s syndrome, but instead of let-

ting it get him down, he turned it into something positive. He got the idea for stand-up comedy after standing up to bullies in high school. He started acting in school plays and then began doing stand-up during lunch at his school. He

is now focusing on stand-up as a career and his subject matter in-cludes material from everyday ob-servations and life in general.

The final comedian will be Michael Palascak on Feb. 26. He is a biographical comedian, which means he tells stories about his life in a comical way. He has also won many stand-up comedy contests. Palascak has appeared on The Late Show with David Letterman, The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, and The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Additionally, Palascak will soon have his own half-hour special on Comedy Central. If you want a break from

homework or are just looking for some laughs, then check out Funny February’s comedians. Bring your friends and enjoy a night of fun every Tuesday of the month.

Welcome Back Week

There is no such thing as back-to-school-blues for Lakeland students as they

returned from Christmas Break on Jan. 9 to find a Welcome Back Week jam packed with exciting activities.

The Lakeland College Campus Activities Board (LC-CAB) sponsored Welcome Back Week, which students could attend to put some fun into their first week back before diving into school work for the rest of spring semester. There were three fea-tured events: The Found Film Festival, Laser tag, and Dave and Busters.

The Found Film Festival is a project founded by Joe Pickett and Nick Prueher in which they find

lost VHS tapes and present audi-ences with the funniest videos. They started searching for lost tapes in 1991.

“It started when I watched a tape called Inside Custodial Duties,” said Prueher. “I was working at a McDonalds, and I popped it in to see what it was out of boredom. It was full of so many remarkable, wonderfully stupid things that I stole it and showed it to [Pickett].”

“Ever since then, we’ve been obsessed,” said Pickett.

During the act they cracked jokes, commenting on the awk-wardly funny videos as they ap-peared on the screen. Pickett and Prueher stated that they have even met some of the people featured in them, including Frank from Dancing with Frank, his self titled

ible was from behind and that of a lamp at the sign-in table. Once signed in, one could walk over and see the battlefield in which the students were participating.

Egg-shaped figures con-stricted the gym floor, and on top of them were glowing blankets that gave the gym a neon-colored, dream-like look to it. There were two men who would describe the rules to students and crack jokes. After the first couple of shoot outs, students appeared to be having a lot of fun.

“It was fun and I would like Lakeland to have it again!” said Merribeth Mazzi, junior resort management major. “I had gone previous years, and I always ended up hoping they’d have it again.”

The third and final event of Welcome Back Week was Dave

and Busters. Dave and Busters is essentially a Chuckie Cheese for adults. Students had to pay only a ten dollar fee, which included a 15 dollar bonus on their cards, which are needed to play most games, and unlimited time to play video games, which are games that don’t give players tickets.

“I loved dance revolution at Dave and Busters,” said Karrissa Anderson, sophomore education major. “It was my favorite game growing up, and I was happy I could play it again, but I also liked how everyone was able to do their own thing at that event. I think it made the trip more enjoyable, and I wouldn’t mind going back since it was my first time there.”

Overall, Welcome Back Week was a success because students seemed to have an enjoyable time.

Festival features funny footageBy josh meronekStaff [email protected]

The Found Footage Festi-val invaded Lakeland Col-lege on Jan. 9 and shared

a plethora of humorous videos. During the hour and a half long presentation, students were shown multiple viral videos that were never intended to see the light of day. With titles such as Magic Rainbow Sponge, these videos portrayed extremely low-quality entertainment at its finest.

Beginning with a single fast food safety instructional video in 2004, founders Joe Pickett and Nick Prueher began amassing a collection of thousands of old cassette and VHS tapes. These

very similar to many viral video shows on public television these days, such as Tosh-0; however, the content of many of these videos was too weird for public television. Pickett said, “There is just something about these videos—they are so bad that they’re good!”

Highlights ranged from Wounds Rounds Live, a wound specialist public television show from Milwaukee, to a VHS video featuring former California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger performing promiscuous activities for a documentary on the Carnival of Rio De Janeiro. The content of these videos was very captivating, and the duo’s talent for finding these extremely obscure videos

was not lost upon the audience.Sophomore Education Major

Andy Crivellone described the event as “very humorous—I could not believe that they were able to find some of those videos, and I really wanted to know why they existed in the first place.”

Pickett and Prueher are no amateurs to the comedy circuit as both are veteran writers for the fictionalized news publication, The Onion. In the end, it is a combination of the duo’s witty sense of humor and their ability to find videos that should never have seen the light of day that created a very funny show that was very well received by Lakeland students.

Rachael Cabral-Guevara is Lakeland College’s Prius-driving functioning nurse

practitioner. A mother of four whose chil-

dren range in age from two to 15, Cabral-Guevara began working at the college two years ago but took a maternity leave and spent some time pursuing educational endeavors.

After an enjoyable and prosperous leave, Cabral-Guevara is ecstatic to be back at the campus.

In addition to serving at Lakeland and caring for her large family, Cabral-Guevara has affiliations with Bellin Health Care and Aurora Health clinics.

As if her schedule weren’t busy enough, Cabral-Guevara also holds a teaching position at UW-Oshkosh.

While she is absolutely in love with Lakeland College, it is safe to say UW-Oshkosh holds a

Ro Love fundraiser grows

According to The Ronan Thompson Foundation, “46 children a day are diag-

nosed with cancer. Seven of them will die today.”

If you read “Lakeland student plans to give the gift of hope” in our Dec. 6, 2012 issue and were moved to donate to the cause, Kayla Stevens, senior early child-hood/elementary education major, would like to thank you.

If this is the first you’re hear-ing of the fundraiser, there is still time to get involved.

Stevens met her original goal of raising $1000 to fight pediatric cancer in mid-December of last year, and now she has extended her goal for donations. Stevens now hopes to raise $2000 for The Ronan Thompson Foundation.

The Ronan Thompson Foundation is a non-profit orga-nization “dedicated to finding a cure for neuroblastoma, a form of childhood cancer,” according to their website.

The organization is inspired

by the life and loss of Ronan Sean Thompson, a little boy who was diagnosed with stage IV neu-roblastoma at the age of three in Aug. 2010. Maya Thompson, Ronan’s mother, stated on organi-zation’s website that even though “Ronan’s battle with neuroblasto-ma ended on May 9, 2011…his fight will go on.”

According to The Ronan Thompson Foundation, neuro-blastoma is most common in chil-dren aged five or less, making it a particularly troubling possibility for newer parents. It can be found occurring throughout the body, but is most often found near the adrenal glands.

There are a number of telltale symptoms that may be evident to the observant parent, including the following for neuroblastoma in the abdomen, which The Ronan Thompson Foundation says is the most common: “abdominal pain, a mass under the skin that isn’t tender when touched, changes in bowel habits, such as diarrhea, and swelling in the legs.”

Parents and those who work

with children of the age most sus-ceptible to neuroblastoma are en-couraged to visit www.theronan-thompsonfoundation.com to find out more information about the signs and symptoms of this dis-ease. Parents should always be on the lookout for signs of neuroblas-toma and other forms of cancer. Early detection is important for treatment.

The Ronan Thompson Foundation’s website also states that “pediatric cancer only re-ceives 3.8% of all cancer research funding.” The story of Ronan’s fight with cancer paired with this fact was all that Stevens needed to take action and start her own fundraiser for the organization. Now she continues to look to the Lakeland community to meet her updated goal.

To help out, please visit www.firstgiving.com/fundraiser/kaylastevens/rolove and donate.

Stevens asks those who want to help to “please forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate.”

special place in her heart as well, especially since she received one of her many degrees from the institution.

If you give a girl a job she loves, she will never work a day in her life. Cabral-Guevara works extremely hard to balance her busy schedule, it would seem the saying rings true as she is exceedingly passionate about her role and responsibilities. Cabral-Guevara states this passion stems from her love of meeting new people and caring for others.

Cabral-Guevara aspired from an extremely young age to work in the health care field due to her desire to help others in the community. Having achieved her dream and reaped the rewards associated with playing such a large role in peoples’ lives, she now excitedly encourages others to join the busy yet fruitful field.

Cabral-Guevara also utilizes her position and knowledge to promote healthy lifestyles and good decision making, especially amongst college students at

Lakeland.“Healthy lifestyles and

good choices are the way to prevent many illnesses,” said Cabral-Guevara.

“A focus on the long-term effects of the things we do today should always be on our minds if we want to avoid health issues later in life.”

Despite her lengthy schedule, Cabral-Guevara assures everyone that her day isn’t all work and no play.

In her spare time, she enjoys spending time with her lovely Prius car, which holds a special place in her heart. She adores the color red and her absolute favorite food is Mexican. Of course, she also loves to spend time with her babies.

Starting on Jan. 30, Cabral-Guevara will be available every Wednesday from 1-5 p.m. on the first floor of Brotz Hall and she encourages any students with health concerns or questions to pay her or Campus Nurse Sherry Carstens a visit.

What did getting on the Bone Marrow registry

list mean to you?We wanted to know what it meant to donors to be part of a life saving database. This is what some of the donors had to say.

“It puts life in perspective for me, and makes me wonder if there is someone out there in the world that I could save.”~David Green, junior business major

“It makes me feel good knowing I have the chance to save someone’s life. If I had cancer I would want someone to step up and donate for me to.”~Noah Ross, junior exercise science major

“I’ve had quite a few relatives who passed away from cancer. I figure that I can help someone who is so innocent and pure live long and prosper too. I found it to be a moral decision rather than feeling bad[ly for those with cancer]. I feel that it is the right thing to do. I would love to be able to help a family even if it is not a child.”~Stephanie Tutor, junior psychology major and Spanish minor

“I immediately decided I would sign up because I know that I have a rare blood type, so I could be a match to someone who otherwise might not be able to find one. I know that if I was in that situation, I would want to know that there were people out there who could help me.”~Katherine Zielsdorf, freshman elementary education major

“I donated simply because I feel it’s the right thing to do. The biggest goals most people have are to help others, why not do everything you can to do so? When my grandma had cancer we were fortunate enough that her surgery didn’t re-quire bone marrow. If it had, there’s no guarantee my family was a match.”~Allyssa Ourada, freshman communication major

“I understood that it takes just a couple of minutes of your time to sign up for this unique opportunity to help save a life. I am hoping that I will get the opportunity to help save a life and be matched with someone.”~Natalie Neitzel, freshman elementary education major

“It was so easy! I was scared at first, but then I realized that if I was in need I would hope someone would be able to save me. It brought tears to my eyes both days as I volunteered and saw so many people willing not only to join the regis-try but also donate money to help with the costs involved in joining. I’m one happy person knowing that my school has made such a difference in the world! Just another day saving lives on Lakeland College’s campus.”~Jenna Oberthaler, junior elementary education major

“It meant pledging my support to those who are fighting and will fight for their lives. No one fights alone.”~Kayla Stevens, senior early childhood/elementary educa-tion major

“Something as simple as swabbing your cheek can give you the opportunity to save a life. This, coupled with personally knowing Brittany and Chad’s story made it an easy decision. It’s our duty to help others in need.”~Nate Dehne, vice president for student development

“I wasn’t going to do it at first, but then a student came to my class and explained what it was and why it was so im-portant. They showed a video with Brittany telling Chad’s story, and I realized how simple it could be for me to help save a life, so now I am on the registry and hoping that some-one in need will be matched with me.”~Michelle Fromm, junior writing major

“I came out but was ultimately unable to join the registry due to a pre-existing health issue. While I’m disappointed, I feel good knowing I helped build awareness for such a criti-cal need and brought at least one new potential donor to join the list.”~ Shelly Otto Johnson, community member

was allowed to split up and view a Krebs said that what he wanted students to take away from the trip was “the cultural component. [I wanted them to] be immersed

Lakeland wins award for financial literacyFor the second straight year,

Lakeland College has re-ceived statewide recogni-

tion for its efforts to improve fi-nancial literacy.

The Lakeland College Center for Economic Education, led by Lakeland College faculty member Scott Niederjohn, and the director of Lakeland’s Milwaukee center, Tim O’Driscoll, were each selected for 2012 Wisconsin Financial Literacy Awards by the Governor’s Council on Financial Literacy.

The winners, which include individuals and organizations, are recognized for their work to advance the cause of personal financial knowledge among Wisconsin citizens. An awards ceremony will be held this spring at the state capital in Madison.

In 2011, Scott Niederjohn, Lakeland College’s Charlotte and Walter Kohler Assistant Professor of Economics and Business, was named a winner in the inaugural year of this honor.

“It’s a real honor and surprise to be honored for a second year in a row,” Niederjohn said. “I’m very proud of what our Center for Economic Education has been able to accomplish over the past eight years, and I look forward to the future. I’m also pleased that my good friend and Lakeland colleague Tim O’Driscoll was honored for his distinguished career in economic and financial education.”

Lakeland’s Center for Economic Education, started by Niederjohn in 2005, presents innovative programs for teachers and other groups to enhance their knowledge of economic literacy with the goal of bringing this knowledge to students throughout Wisconsin.

Employing the expertise of the academic community and experts in business and government, the center utilizes the best current information on economic literacy, putting them into a teachable

context to provide students and teachers with the knowledge to confront the challenging economic environment they will encounter.

Lakeland’s center has conducted a highly successful financial literacy workshop for teachers for six years at Green Bay’s Lambeau Field. The center has also produced many curriculum contributions, including the Gen I Revolution personal finance game, and popular high school books like Learning Earning Investing for a New Generation and Teaching Financial Crisis.

In the last two years, the center has served more than 850 teachers in more than two dozen programs under Niederjohn’s direction.

O’Driscoll joined Lakeland’s staff in 2010 as the director of the college’s Milwaukee Center for Economic Education. O’Driscoll was given the award for his long and distinguished commitment to financial literacy.

His career began as an economics teacher at Arrowhead high school. O’Driscoll has remained active, making more than 39 presentations to 2,500 teachers this past year on Lakeland’s behalf. O’Driscoll also serves as the official scorer for the Milwaukee Brewers.

He is a member of the Board of Directors of Economics Wisconsin and was selected to serve on the Planning Committee to create a national test on economic literacy. O’Driscoll was also selected as a writer and editor for the NAEP National Macroeconomics Test.

He is a member of the Wisconsin Baseball Coaches Association Hall of Fame and the Land O’Lakes Baseball Hall of Fame and the Arrowhead High School baseball field is named for him, recognizing his 35 years as their head coach.

“The recipients of the Wisconsin Financial Literacy Award are helping Wisconsinites

of all ages improve their personal finance skills in our schools, in the workplace and in communities across the state,” Governor Scott Walker said. “These citizen leaders equip students, parents, peers and consumers with the necessary tools to make informed decisions about their own money, which improves individual quality of life, as well as the Wisconsin economy.”

Criteria used to determine the financial literacy award recipients includes innovative implementation, demonstrated measureable results, collaboration with partners, whether the effort was statewide or had the potential to be statewide and whether the effort was focused on needs-based groups.

The Governor’s Council on Financial Literacy was created to measurably improve the financial literacy of Wisconsin citizens. Niederjohn is a member of the council.

the ancient Roman Baths and Stonehenge.

Later, the group spent New Year’s Eve in Oxford, where they were encouraged to inspect the city’s intricate, old architecture during the rainy days spent there. The hotel they stayed at pro-vided its guests with a compli-mentary tour around the city, allowing the stu-dents to learn the history be-hind all the near-by structures.

T o l m a n explained that although she has led theatre trips to London before, about “two-thirds of what we did was new,” noting that stopping at Oxford was a good addition because it provided “another dimension of

Then it was off to London, where one of their first sights of the famous city was Big Ben, the

huge clock tower.“I enjoyed seeing Big Ben as

we came out of the Underground station,” said Lindsay Kleckner, sophomore criminal justice major.

percent Caucasian, ten percent Hispanic, seven percent African-American, and seven percent Asian. Chad, being Caucasian, had only five potential matches on the registry had he reached remission. This indicates the chances of receiving a transplant being of non-Caucasian ethnicity are almost non-existent.

Once a person has signed up to be a donor, there is only a one in 540 chance they will be called to actually donate. Additionally, the registry looks for donors between the ages of 18 and 44, so it is crucial that the college age group gets registered, giving them a window of as many years as possible to potentially save someone’s life.

Bohm believes that events

MARROW FROM PAGE 1 like these are, “something schools really should do, they should be involved in community service efforts like this, especially something where you really have a chance to save lives.”

Bohm’s hope is that some group on campus will take over the event after she graduates, and solidify Muskie Marrow Madness as an annual event and a part of Lakeland College culture.

“We would like to see it become a Lakeland thing that they do annually in memory

of one of their students, and Chad’s legacy will live on forever

through Lakeland College,” said Bohm.

Though it is fair to say the

event was a success, Bohm, who also lost her grandfather to Leukemia in February of 2010, doesn’t appear to be anywhere near done with her battle against the disease. Ultimately, Bohm says, “I would love to open some foundation for Chad. I have big dreams in my head.”

Bohm recalls the semester that she left school to be with Chad and his family in Milwaukee, where Chad had to live within five minutes of Froedtert Hospital. She remembers the immense financial pressure of an apartment that close to the hospital, school loans, and weekly pharmacy bills, topping

$3,000 dollars that she described as “disgusting.”

“The fact that it was staring me right in the face was hard to believe.”

from the trip was “the cultural component.

During the day the group was allowed to split up and view a multitude of landmarks and famous sights, but came together in the evenings to see shows like War Horse, The Lion King the musical, and Matilda the musical.

“I absolutely loved The Lion King,” said Kleckner. “It was just a real work of art with all the costumes and sets.”

Students enrolled in ENG 123 were required to write a brief report on each show they saw on the trip, allowing Krebs and Tolman to use the reports as conversation starters for group discussions of the productions.

Tolman hopes the students learned through their analyses that “theatre is a joined enterprise between the spectator and the performer.”

Tolman says that the next international trip she is planning for the Lakeland community will be a trip to Greece in 2015. That trip will focus on art, literature, and sports, but it will be open to all students just as this year’s theatre trip was.

psychology degrees, Bohm dreams of starting a foundation that could provide relief to those in similar situations, “This was meant to happen in my life, or something, to be bigger than just working in a business somewhere,” said Bohm.

Bohm is in awe of the possibility that at some point a Lakeland student could be called on to donate and save someone’s life because of the legacy Chad has left behind. “In the end, Chad might have died, [but] he’s living through other people—that’s really awesome,” said Bohm.

Bohm says, “It just makes me happy to do this in memory of Chad, and I just know that he’s healthy and cancer free. That gives me peace.”

Why, oh why, did the rooster cross the road?

Joe the Rooskie was a beloved rooster whose life came to a sudden end over Christmas

Break.Nancy Grandillo, wife of Dr.

Michael Grandillo, was going to leave Joe on campus over break instead of bringing him back to Ohio because friend Kathy Harkin offered to take care of him.

“When I forgot my phone and went back to campus for it, Joe decided to hop in the car to show that he wanted to come along too,” said Grandillo. She decided to let him come along after all and put him into a carrier.

On Christmas morning, the Grandillos made the unfortunate discovery on their way to church. They found his body in the street after being run over by a car. He was not even two years old yet.

The Grandillos decided to bring his body back to Lakeland so he can be buried on campus as soon as the ground thaws.

Joe hatched in spring of 2011. He came to the Grandillos with six other chicks and was the only rooster. “Joe and a hen made it through the winter, but the hen disappeared in March 2012,” said Grandillo.

Joe’s life may have been short,

but he was still able to enjoy many things. Grandillo said Joe loved watching kids walk to and from school and that children in the neighborhood would take a daily walk with their parents or caregivers to see the rooster. Joe

also enjoyed roosting in a tree at night when he was not placed into the coop.

When the Rooskie came to Lakeland, he did the same activities, but on a larger scale. He walked around campus, roosted in a tree overnight, and crowed at dawn. The only difference was that it was a larger area and he had more people to watch.

Unfortunately, Joe had one

major flaw—he wasn’t afraid of cars. He liked getting close to the road, despite the danger. Even at Lakeland one could see him in the road walking around.

While in Tiffin, Ohio, Joe also had a run in with the law. He made

the papers when the Grandillos’ ne ighbors called the p o l i c e a b o u t

him. You could keep chickens in Ohio, but not roosters because of the noise. “When the police were called about Joe, I got a warning from the officer and, in the paper, the police report claimed there was a rooster at large,” said Grandillo. “Everyone knew who it was.”

There are a couple of facts

about Joe that many may not have known. One is that Dr. Grandillo named him when they arrived at Lakeland. Another is that he and the Grandillos’ dog, Tipper, got along perfectly. “They loved to play tag,” said Grandillo. “The cat even got along with him. He was also a very social bird if you let him approach you.”

Grandillo also said Joe seemed to get along better with women than with men.

Grandillo is planning to get

more chicks in the spring and, if another rooster happens to be in the mix, he will be welcomed, too.

Joe the Rooskie may not have made it past one semester at Lakeland College, but his memory will last among the students who knew him for that short time.

Phi Delta fundraiser needs your bears

Giving children in need a glimmer of hope, the Phi Delta Omega sorority

is spending this week and next weekend collecting teddy bears for ill children.

The main goal for this drive is to give these children a teddy bear in order to help these children go through what can best be described as traumatic times in their life. This simple gesture plays a large role in giving hope to these children, and can help bring their life back to normality if only momentarily.

The teddy bear drive has been in effect for 5 years, and this year

looked to build upon the success of the previous years. This program was headed by Kerri Fitzgibbon,

a senior English literature major and the vice president of the Phi Delta Omega sorority, who

described the drive as “a great program, to be able to put a smile on the faces of these kids who are going through so much, it really is a good feeling.”

Relying upon the donations of the local community, this program has seen subsequent success year after year. The teddy bears have been collected from all over the county, but a large proportion of the bears come from the

Lakeland College community. Fitzgibbon said, “The faculty

plays a large role in the donations…without them the program would

not be as successful as it has”.Students’ favorite Teddy Bear

Shot returned this year as part of the drive, in which students paid $1 to throw teddy bears at hula hoops in hope of winning prizes. It took place during Wednesday’s woman’s basketball game, and everyone who participated won the prize of knowing that they were helping a child in need.

Phi Delta Omega sorority is the director of the drive, and has been a campus leader in community work since its inception in 1970. Founded upon the desire to make a difference in their community, this group has embraced the idea of making the community better one program at a time.

Lakeland College football great Pat Curran was se-lected on Sept. 5 to be one

of thirteen inductees into the prestigious National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics Hall of Fame in the Football Category. This distinguished honor is given every year to several individuals in recognition of their great con-tributions to a specific collegiate sport.

Curran graduated from Lakeland College in 1972 after being named to the NAIA All-American team and was drafted in the sixth round of the 1969 NFL

Draft. He would spend the next ten seasons in the NFL playing for both the Los Angeles Rams and San Diego Chargers.

During his time playing running back for the Muskies, Curran managed to break every single scoring record, and many of his records remain unbroken some 40 years later. Among these outstanding records were six touchdowns in a single game and 51 career

touchdowns, as well as 1,025 yards gained in a single season and

2,502 yards gained during a career. Following his long career in

the NFL, Curran began working

for the Chargers organization as both a business manager and

an analyst. After many years surrounded by professional football, Curran made the transition into the business world as an employee of the international tool company Snap-on. He has found success in the business world and is still employed at the same company.

Curran was not the only Lakeland College Muskie elected to the hall of fame, as the legendary Basketball coach Duane “Moose” Woltzen was also elected to the NAIA hall

of fame this year. Woltzen won over 11 conference championships in men’s basketball and posted

a total record of 536 wins to just 229 losses. After a long and distinguished career as a coach at Lakeland, Woltzen would go on to become the Athletic Director at Lakeland.

Lakeland College has housed a plethora of athletic greats over the course of its existence and the induction of these two alumni is just one of many ways their legacies are celebrated and live on in the hearts of the Lakeland community and beyond.

All of the information for this article was gathered off of the NAIA National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics 2013 Hall Of Fame Inductees website.

Schwarz and Ward make Muskie basketball history

Senior Jake Schwarz and Junior Justin Ward made Muskie basketball history

on Jan. 20 when Schwarz broke

the Lakeland men’s basketball all-time scoring record and Ward became the 39th men’s player to reach 1,000 career points.

To top off a perfect day, the Muskie men dominated Rockford College 77-65. Schwarz made a three-pointer to break the previ-ous record of 2,008, which had

been held since the early 1980’s by John Koslowski.

Schwarz hit three three-pointers and scored a total of 22 points in order to achieve record holder status.

He is only the third basket-ball player in Lakeland history to reach at least 2,000 points.

Teammate Ward also hit a three-pointer to cement his name in Lakeland sports history by joining the exclusive 1,000-point league and, like Schwarz, finished the game with 22 points total. Ward had his eye on the prize from early on, scoring ten consec-utive points in the second half.

Dear Uncle Crabby: Please help

Dear Uncle Crabby, What is the best way to

break someone’s heart?

Sincerely, Earnest

Dear Earnest, Either you meant to ask

what the best way to break up

A satisfying breakfast is easy to make and tastes great with a hot cup of coffee

Did you eat your breakfast today?

Have the sweet and satisfying treat of raspberry-dark chocolate banana bread.

Weekday mornings can be hectic, rushed, and downright unpleasant for many college students.

They can be made slightly more bearable, however, if you have a yummy treat to grab as you’re walking out the door. I found this banana bread recipe on recipeboy.com and was sold when I discovered it takes a spin on the traditional recipe by adding dark chocolate chips and raspberries.

This bread tastes great with coffee, and it’s perfect for breakfast or even a midnight study snack!

Ingredients: 2 cups all-purpose flour3/4 tsp baking soda1/2 tsp salt1 cup granulated white

sugar1/2 stick unsalted

butter, room temperature2 large eggs1 1/2 cups mashed ripe

banana (about 3 bananas) 1/3 cup plain low fat

yogurt1 tsp vanilla extract1 cup dark chocolate

chips or chunks1 cup halved

raspberries, tossed in 1 tbsp all-purpose flour

(Tip for raspberries: it works best if the raspberries are relatively firm; don’t use recently-washed or mushy fruit.)

Directions: 1. Preheat oven to 350°F.

Spray a 9x5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray.

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda,

and salt. 3. In a separate large bowl,

beat the sugar and butter with an electric mixer at medium speed until well blended (about 1 minute). Add the eggs one at a

time, beating well after each addition. Add the banana, yogurt, and vanilla; beat until blended. Stir in the flour mixture, just until moist. Don’t over-mix. Stir in the chocolate chunks and then gently stir in the raspberries. You can add a few more raspberries and chocolate chips to the top for some added prettiness if you’d like.

4. Spoon the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 50- 60 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean (if the sides are browning faster than the

middle, put some tin foil around the edges while the bread finishes cooking). Cool for 15 minutes in the pan on a wire rack. Remove from pan and cool completely on the wire rack. Enjoy!

Raspberry and dark chocolate banana bread

with someone is, or you’re a creep.

If you want to break up with someone properly, you need to text them. It’s clean and crisp and no one gets hurt.

If you really want to break someone’s heart on purpose, you are an insensitive person who may need therapy. And if that’s the case, what you do

is make them think you really care about them, and then tell them it was just a joke.

If you do something like that though, you will surely be friendless in no time. Thanks for writing.

Dear Uncle Crabby, How do you tell a crazy

person they’re crazy?

Sincerely, Your Roommate

Dear Roommate, I know you’re not my

roommate because my roommate is a kangaroo and I’ve never seen no kangaroo

By Uncle CrabbyAdvice [email protected]

Have you ever had a question you were too embarrassed to ask anyone else? Have you ever needed advice from someone but couldn’t get an honest answer? Well, look no further. Throughout this semester, you’ll have a chance to get answers to life’s toughest questions. I’m your Uncle Crabby, and I’m here to help.

write no letter. I named that kangaroo Fred and you don’t sound much like a Fred to me.

But, if this is a serious question, you might want to consider texting. It’s clean and crisp and no one gets hurt. Facebook might work too, but an email is just too personal.

One thing you definitely don’t want to do…I think Fred is getting mad at my late-night typing, gotta go!

Dear Uncle Crabby, What do you do when you

go #2 after a shower?Sincerely, Float my Boat

Dear Float my Boat, That is a very good question.

There are many things you can do to rectify the situation. I’d suggest looking this problem up in The #2 Facts Page online. You’ll find many helpful suggestions for all kinds of #2 issues. My question for you is: have you ever tried texting?

Sincerely, Uncle Crabby

Lakeland promises a pool and more to students

Lakeland students were thrilled last week when President Grandillo first

leaked the information that Lakeland College would soon be constructing an Olympic size pool.

However, the excitement turned into a lot of mixed feelings as more information was made available to the student body.

Apparently the plans that are going into place to build the pool do not include human swimmers. President Grandillo and Dean Meg Albrinck made a statement last Friday to explain the confusion.

“I would like to formally apologize for any confusion and hurt feelings that may have resulted from the premature

availability of certain information regarding a pool on campus,” Grandillo said Friday.

“The bad news for all you swimmers out there is that the pool will not be open for students to swim in. The good news for all you animal lovers out there is that the pool will be used as a habitat element for animals in our Zoological Learning Center, or ZooLC.”

While quite a few athletes were disappointed by this news, the majority of the student body appeared happy about the announcement.

Particularly, the Biology Department was pleased with the proposed use of the pool. ZooLC is scheduled to be finished completely by early May and will be located near the baseball diamond.

Albrinck explained that a “generous grant was awarded to Lakeland, so we felt it was time to finally take on this big project.”

Grandillo went on to explain that the pool would be positioned in the center of a larger area dedicated to the ZooLC. The pool will be partitioned into sections with sufficient land joined to each section, allowing for various species to be displayed and studied there.

“Due to the weather we’ve been experiencing lately,” said Grandillo, “we will be starting with a small group of polar bears, which will be allowed to swim in their section of the pool and to romp about on the land alongside it. Each species will be contained within a sturdy fence to prevent any mishaps.”

Other sections of the pool

will include penguins and small mutant sharks. The sharks, of course will not be given land on which to tread. Grandillo surprised students once more when he announced what would be in the fourth and final partition of the pool.

“In the interest of keeping all students safe,” said Grandillo, “we will be relocating the crocodiles from the moat beneath the entrance’s bridge so that they can live in the environment we will design for them in the pool.”

Students who had previously thought the crocodiles were just a myth instantly went into a panic, but security personnel kept the crowd at bay as Grandillo and Albrinck persuaded them that there was no reason to fear.

Apparently, the crocodiles are completely docile and harmless

this time of year and will only go hunting for fresh meat when spring comes around.

By that time, Lakeland officials expect to have the crocodiles and other water-loving creatures contained in ZooLC. Also included in ZooLC will be panda bears, komodo dragons, and most of the original 151 Pokémon.

“We hope that this Zoological Learning Center will be a great opportunity for everyone on campus, not just biology majors,” said Albrinck.

The plans for ZooLC down the road include an insect house that is set to be completed in the fall of 2015 and a robotically-guided tour of all the animals in their habitats.

Grandillo said, “ZooLC is truly the future of Lakeland College.”
