but here, a Triton is one who is academic

Fall Quarter has started, what are your plans for college?
George Watson
My plans are simple, I want to go
here for at least 2 years and work on my
AA in business and then go to a major busi-
ness school on the east coast. I haven’t de-
cided which one yet.
While I am here I want to join a club
or two and live the college life maybe get
a part time job, so I can also have some
hands on experience added to my resume.
Other then that not much I play video
games and write, I am thinking of taking
a creative writing class if there is one on
campus.
Rebecca Miller
I just graduated high school, so com-
ing to a community college and taking
classes here is my plan, I am looking into
getting on the volley ball team.
If that doesn’t happen then I might try
to get a job on campus, all I really want to
do is take it easy and breath before I go off
to a university, right now I don’t even have
a degree choice, I am going for an unde-
cided AA degree.

I am going to be great here, there is

I am so excited to be at Edmonds, I
plan on taking some of my hard classes
here and enjoy in learning the atmosphere

But I do know that I will have fun

I have made couple of people that I hope
will grow in to a wonderful friendship.

I don’t know what to expect, I am still
in high school, doing the running start pro-
gram here, so it will be a little different, I
am taking 4 classes that count towards my
high school diploma and college credit,
which is kind of awesome, that means what
I do decide to do I will have less classes to
do it in.

Dear Triton.... is here helping out one student at a time.
Dear Triton,
This is my first year attending any sort
of upper level education, and I’m extreme-
ly nervous that I won’t be able to keep up
with everything.
I know the classes are supposed to be
harder, but what if I don’t pass?
Thanks,
Nervous Nerd
Hello Nervous,
Community College—in my perspec-
tive—isn’t much harder than high school.
But, saying that, I also attended a univer-
sity last year which is much more difficult.
Just imagine a lot less worksheets and
busy work, and quite a bit more reading
and tests.
I’ve found that most of the time, as
long as you keep up with the readings and
thoroughly understand the text, the class is
pretty easy.
Oh! Also, attending class is huge part

Letters to the Editor
Concerend Edmonds Resident,
I am a concerned citizen and was dis-
traught when I read in the June 16th issue
of the Triton Review, the article is on page
12 titled: School Shootings: We are the
problem and the answer.
First I would like it to be stated that
bad things do happen, but these hoaxes
must be put to a stop. None of the school
shootings really happened, they were all
put on by the government and by actors
that do disaster situations.
The Sandy Hook school shooting was
a giant, elaborate hoax and no one really
died “Think about it: you have 20 children,
6 staff members who were supposed to
have been shot. They’re seriously injured.
Where’s the trauma helicopters? Those are
the quickest and the best medical services
that any child or any school staff member
can receive, and no trauma helicopters
were ever requested?”
Who created the Emily Parker Fan
page on Dec 14th just a few hours before
the shooting. I just want to know what kind
of a person makes a Facebook Fund Page
while their child in the school on a lock-
down yet they still didn’t know the condi-
tion of their daughter? She was not even
confirmed dead yet…. I smell BS

Examiner ( he seems more of an actor then

of passing. I know it can be tempting to
skip those early/boring ones, but it will be
worth it when you receive your grades at
the end of the semester.
Last, if you feel exceptionally over-
whelmed, reach out for help or drop a class.
We have an abundance of tutors on
campus, and professors are more than will-
ing to help their students.
Take a deep breath and relax! It will
all turn out okay.
Wish you the best!
a medical examiner) he seems to find the
situation quiet funny.
Victoria Soto Facebook Page was cre-
ated 4 days before the Sandy Hook shoot-
ing. Also “Our Heart are with Sandy Hook”
was created 3 days before the shooting. The
website “Sandy Hook Elementary Victims
Fund” was created 1 days before the Sandy
Hook shooting.
Seems as if someone had an open
window into the future or this was all pre-
planned and people were putting pages up
not realizing that it can be traced back to
the creation date of the Facebook page and
the Sandy Hook Heart website.
If you believe me good, your eyes are
opened and you see what others can not.
If you don’t please do your own re-
search and see the evidence for yourself,
you will believe then. We must support
the truth and stop people from making us
believe everything Fox News and CNN
wants us to believe.
The Staff of the Triton Review does not take
part in the Letters, they are emailed or mailed to the
Editor in chief, and we post them as is, if you have
a concern about an article in our paper, please sub-
mit a letter to the editor and we post in this section.

Sage financial advice for college fresh-
By Taylor Cleary
Guest Writer
Q: If you could give one piece of fi-
nancial advice to an incoming college
freshman, what would it be and why?
Budget from day one. Tracking your
finances is essential to having control over
your social and personal life in college.
It’s easy to go out with friends in a
snap or to buy a nicer shower organizer, but
it all adds up! Knowing where your money
is coming from and where it’s going will
help you reduce frivolous spending, and
you learn things about yourself as well.
Budgeting may sound boring and time
consuming, but it is the very foundation of
being in control of your life. -- Tim Lang-
ham in Orlando, Florida
Don’t buy anything with a credit card.
Just don’t. If you have one, leave it at home
whenever you go anywhere that you might
be tempted to spend money. Want a snack?
Want a latte?
Want a cute notebook or a new pair of
earrings? All of that swiping adds up more
quickly than you realize, and if you’re go-
ing to spend money, it’s way better to pay
with cash or debit. I know this is really
common advice, but it’s common for a rea-
son. -- Haiden Brook in Cedar City, Utah
Beware the little purchases. The
$2 drink, the $6 lunch, the 99 cent app
--they’re easy to forget about, and they add
EdCC students fit to teach
By Ivy Raines
Opinion Editor
Many students take Summer Quar-
ter as an opportunity for time off but for
Megan Toney’s PE 132 time was of the es-
sences. This 3 credit course offered once a
year and three times a week is a special,
often overlooked opening for students of
Edmonds.
PE 132, also known as aerobics in-
structor training is a class only offered
Summer Quarter. This seven week inten-
sive crash course is designed to prepare stu-
dents for the competitive careers of group
fitness instructors. The class consists of a
physical and written final – very similar to
what one would take on the national Amer-
ican Council on Exercise (ACE) exam. If
completed successfully students received
a certification from Edmonds Community
College to elicit to employers their job
readiness.
Amanda Ly’s journey to her certificate
did not begin merely Summer Quarter, but
two quarters prior in Toney’s PE 130, also
known as Aerobics Hip Hop. “I had the
best time learning pieces, Megan compli-
mented my energy and said I should take
the course” said Ly.
Aerobics Instructor Training isn’t the
updated class title, in fact the class is not
limited to just aerobics aspects of fitness
but encompasses readiness for any group
fitness platform. In Ly’s case, dance.
“I wasn’t exactly sure what the class
was, but my passion for dance grew during
spring”
Ly, graduate from Edmonds Com-
munity College in winter, chose to take
Summer Quarter solely for the experience
of Toney’s class. Previous Hip-Hop club
member and Zumba enthusiast, Ly want-
ed to expand her knowledge about dance
through the course.
“I took it more for an education than
a certificate” shares Ly “now I’m thinking
about being a part time instructor”
Contrary to Ly’s expectations, Toney’s
course was not specifically focused on
dance but rather a variety of platforms “It
wasn’t what I expected” shared Ly. These
platforms consisted of, but were not limit-
5
up quick!
If one thing sank my budget in col-
lege, it was buying coffee every day. -- Jan
F. in Sacramento, California
Credit is a scam. Student loans are
usually inevitable, but credit cards and fi-
nanced cars or furniture are not. -- Aaron
Kennedy in Greenville, South Carolina

Of course, she wanted to have it both

a statement assuring us that “nothing she
said was an attempt to attack him, his poli-

they’d be partying together and would be

let’s hope the White House has call for-

Domestic Violence and young adults in school
By Todd M Clayton Jr
Editor in Chief
Domestic Violence is in a way ter-
rorism, a person makes another so scared
and feel threatened that the victim will do
anything so that the Violent person will not
be set off. Some thing its just a matter be-
tween couples, but it is not it effects every-
one, more so the victim.
It is pattern of behavior which in-
volves violence or other abuse by one
person against another in a domestic con-
text, such as in marriage or cohabitation.
Intimate partner violence is domestic vio-
lence against a spouse or other intimate
partner. Domestic violence can take place
in heterosexual or same-sex relationships.
Domestic violence can take a number of
forms including physical, emotional, ver-
bal, economic and sexual abuse, which can
range from subtle, coercive forms to mari-
tal rape and to violent physical abuse that
results in disfigurement or death. Globally,
a wife or female partner is most commonly
the victim of domestic violence, though the
victim can also be the male partner, or both
partners may engage in abusive or violent
behavior, or the victim may act in self-de-
fense or retaliation.
Victims of domestic violence may
be trapped in domestic violent situations
through isolation, power and control, in-
sufficient financial resources, fear, shame
or to protect children. As a result of abuse,
victims may experience physical disabili-
ties, chronic health problems, mental ill-
ness, limited finances, and poor ability to
create healthy relationships. Victims may
experience post-traumatic stress disorder.
Children who live in a household with
violence may continue the legacy of abuse
when they reach adulthood. Domestic
violence often happens in the context of
forced and child marriage.
EdCC Veterans Resource Center: Creating an Oasis for Vets
ByChris Szarek USN Retired
Veterans Center Director
It’s September in the Great Northwest
which means nice weather, football, and
departments across the Edmonds Commu-
nity College are busily preparing for the
start of Fall Quarter Classes on September
22nd!
Tucked away in a quiet corner on the
second floor of Lynnwood Hall, the Veter-
ans Resource Center’s calm exterior belies
the beehive of activity going on just inside
the door.
Ask any veteran what they miss most
about their time in the service, and what
you will hear often is that people miss the
camaraderie and feeling that they are a part
of something larger than themselves.
Others miss the feeling of being a part
of a unit, where people take care of each
other and have a shared identity and sense
of belonging.
The Veterans Resource Center (VRC)
is a place on campus dedicated to the myr-
iad needs of student veterans, regardless of
when they served, how long they’ve been
out, and whether or not they are using VA
Educational Benefits.
The staff at the VRC is made up of
veterans who have used higher education
to successfully transition to civilian life,
and have a unique grasp of the challenges
facing veterans after they separate.
One strategy used at the center is to
provide familiar elements from the mili-
tary in the workplace.
Some of these elements are obvi-
ous, such as the American Flag proudly
displayed at the entrance, the Plan of the
Week newsletter distributed weekly as it is
Domestie Violence Awareness bulletin board in Mountlake Terrace Hall near the counseling
center shows that there is support for any one who need the help or just wants some info.
Domestic Violence is also a form of
Human Trafficking, a person “bully” is
making some one do something against
their will, because of this they are being
trafficked.
Some people don’t realize that they
are in a domestic violent relationship (or
don’t want to aknowledge it) until it is to
late. But there is help for people that want
to remove that situation from their lives.
Teenagers and young adults have a
pretty good chance of falling into a domes-
tic violent relationship, just because they
young, eager to have a relationship, and
then because they don’t want to loose that
relationship.
Adolescents and adults are often un-
aware that teens experience dating vio-
lence. In a nationwide survey, 9.4 percent
of high school students report being hit,
at commands throughout the military, and
a collection of military themed artwork and
artifacts generously donated by members
of the campus and community.
Additional plans are in place to create
a customer service window at the entrance
of the center that’s reminiscent of a quar-
terdeck, or entryway to Naval and Marine
Corps ships and units worldwide.
With the wide variety of familiar ele-
ments throughout the VRC, veterans tend
to feel more at ease and often build friend-
ships with other veterans through the time-
honored tradition of telling “Sea Stories,”
which are colorful and entertaining stories
about a person’s time in the service.
Many would argue that the Veteran’s
Lounge is where the magic truly happens
at the Veterans Resource center.
Larry Price is a retired Marine and the
Academic Program Director for the Oc-
cupational Safety and Health (OSHA) and
Emergency Management Programs.
He said “The VRC is a great oasis that
I visit to reflect on my time in the service,
and connect with younger generations of
veterans.
It’s a good place for sharing informa-
tion about our current challenges related to
academic life, and also recharge your bat-
teries.” Larry is one of a growing number
of staff and faculty veterans at Edmonds
Community College.
He is a member of several Veterans
Service Organizations in the community
including the Marine For Life organiza-
tion that meets monthly at the Pyramid Ale
House across from Safeco Field and con-
nects veteran job seekers with hiring man-

Youth Risk Behavior Survey). About 1 in
5 women and nearly 1 in 7 men who ever
experienced rape, physical violence, and/
or stalking by an intimate partner, first ex-
perienced some form of partner violence
between 11 and 17 years of age (Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention, 2010
National Intimate Partner and Sexual Vio-
lence Survey).
The ultimate goal is to stop dating
violence before it starts. Strategies that
promote healthy relationships are vital.
During the preteen and teen years, young
people are learning skills they need to form
positive relationships with others. This
is an ideal time to promote healthy rela-
agers from local companies.
The events are open to veterans from
all branches of the Armed Forces. For
more information on the Marine for Life
program, stop by the VRC’s Community
Information Table.
When a person separates from the
Armed Services, they often find them-
selves in an unfamiliar place, answering
many questions they never before had to
consider.
Questions such as “Where do you
want to live?,” “What do you want to
wear?, “What would you like to study?”
The deluge of questions can quickly
become overwhelming, to the point where
crucial steps in the educational process can
be overlooked, causing difficulties in the
transition process and in some cases, po-
tentially causing a veteran to choose not to
pursue the education they have worked so
hard to earn.
The process is frequently compared to
drinking out of a fire hose. To help guide
veterans through the process and reduce
the risk of information overload, Gloria El-
liot, the VA Program Manager and Certify-
ing Official and her staff of VA Work Study
Students are standing by to help veterans
and their eligible family members.
Gloria and VRC Director Chris Szarek
provide orientation seminars for Veterans
twice a week: Tuesdays and Thursdays
from 11:30 AM to 1:00 PM in the center’s
classroom. The orientation seminars are
designed to help veterans hit the ground

tionships and prevent patterns of dating
violence that can last into adulthood.Many
prevention strategies are proven to prevent
or reduce dating violence.
Some effective school-based pro-
grams change norms, improve problem-
solving, and address dating violence in ad-
dition to other youth risk behaviors, such
as substance use and sexual risk behaviors.
Other programs prevent dating violence
through changes to the school environment
or training influential adults, like parents/
caregivers and coaches, to work with youth
to prevent dating violence.
Most school counselors will help a
person get the help or treatment they need

In addition to providing information
and support to student veterans and their
families at Edmonds Community College,
the VRC offers a wide range of drop in ser-
vices and resources.
Veterans often drop by between class-
es to use the computer lab that features
four computers and a printer, a silent study
area where Veterans can get away from the
hustle and bustle of campus life to work
on courses either individually or in small
groups.
And a lounge area where veterans can
connect with other veterans.

The VRC is a hub for our student Veterans.
Moreover it is a gathering place for our lo-
cal Veteran community from all eras and

share a unique heritage and rich tradition
with our extended family both on campus

a safe and embracing environment, one
that is welcoming to everyone at Edmonds

Munchkin has Princess
Power with new boosterpack
By Todd M Clayton Jr
Editor in Chief
Join the ranks of royalty . . . then go
right back to killing monsters and taking
their stuff.
In style. Steve Jacksion is putting the
rage in peerage! Munchkin Princesses: all
the noblesse, none of the oblige.
Munchkin is a card game with role-
playing characteristics.
Each person’s turn begins with the
player “going into a room” by Opening a
Door (often referred to as kicking down the
door) by drawing a Door card face-up. If
there is a monster in the room, the player
fights the monster.
If the player’s level plus bonuses from
the player’s equipment (such as Really Im-
pressive Title) is higher than the monster’s
level plus any bonuses the monster might
have (such as Enraged, Humongous, or
Buffed), then the player wins the fight and
moves up one level (though some monsters
grant two levels), and takes the monster’s
stuff.
To prevent opponents from achieving
the winning level (9, 10, 11, 20, or 22 de-
pending on pre-game selections and card
play), players can give enhancing cards
(such as the Big Honkin’ Sword of Char-
acter Whupping) to whatever monsters are
fighting the other player so that the mon-
sters will win and cause the player to have
to try to Run Away from the monsters and
maybe have to suffer “Bad Stuff” from the
monsters, or throw curses on each other (or
have them happen randomly), such as New
Edition Rules (causing all players to lose
a level).
Munchkin is not a very serious game;
the rules make this clear with phrases like:
Tickets: $25 General; $22 Junior/Se-
nior/Military (18 and Under / 60 and Over).

Adventure and fun comes
to the Wasington state fair
By Dennis Searing
Guest Writer
Summer’s end means it’s time to “do
the Puyallup”. A grand, traditional country
fair, the event is now officially the “Wash-
ington State Fair.” Among the largest fairs
in North America, the Washington State
Fair draws well over 1 million visitors
from all around the region during its 17-
day run. Offering rodeos, concerts, rides,
food, livestock, flowers, and commercial
exhibits, the fair has no end of fun and en-
tertainment.
When is the Washington State Fair?:
September 5-21, 2014
Parking at the Washington State
Fair
There are a number of parking lots
located around the fairground complex.
The official fairgrounds parking lots are re-
ferred to by color names matching up to the
color of the gate that is closest. They are
Gold, Blue, Red, Orange, Green, and Pur-
ple. Daily parking in official fair parking
lots is $10 on weekdays and $12 on week-
ends. During the Puyallup Fair a number of
locals also provide private parking areas.
Parking, as well as traffic in and out of the
fairground area, can be difficult, so plan ac-
cordingly when making your schedule for
the day.

PICKS OF THE WEEK
“Words and Pictures” (PG-13) -- In an
leafy and enchanting New England prep
school, teacher Jack Marcus (Clive Owen)
acts as a bit of a renegade academic, dar-
ing his students to truly experience litera-
ture. See, he’s a washed-up author who’s
become quite a drinker and an even bigger
windbag. Enter the new art teacher, Dina
(Juliette Binoche), a tight-lipped fine-art
painter who left the big city. Jack and Dina
have lots of pseudo-intellectual banter be-
fore falling in love.
The movie’s ongoing debate over the
superior artistic medium -- words or pic-
tures -- seems more than a little forced.
We’re watching a movie, so clearly both
are just as important, right? For a movie
about a witty romance between smart
people, it sure takes the slow and obvious
route.
“Brick Mansions” (PG-13) -- A brutal
crime lord has acquired a weapon of mass
destruction, and it’s up to two hardcore
dudes to shut it down with as many awe-
some stunts as possible. Paul Walker, in his
last complete film, stars as a narcotics de-
tective in a near-future version of Detroit.
He’s paired with Lino (David Belle), an ac-
robatic ex-con who’s dedicated to getting
gangs and drugs out of his neighborhood.
The action is downright impressive:
Belle is a legend in the world of Parkour,
the sport of moving rapidly over obstacles
using only momentum. Without wires
or computer assistance, this guy leaps
across rooftops and bounces around faster
than Daffy Duck. Though it’s no fault of
Walker’s, this movie doesn’t stack up to its
source, a 2004 French flick called “District
B-13.”
“The Hornet’s Nest” (R) -- Real foot-
age from the front lines shows the chaos of
war in this documentary made by directors
David Salzburg and Christian Turead, us-
ing video from journalist Mike Boettcher.
In a mountainous region of Afghanistan,
along the Pakistani border, the 101st Air-
borne descends into the Kunar valley to
fight Taliban forces running the area. It was
predicted to be a day-long mission, but it
turned into nine days of fighting. This doc-
umentary doesn’t go into causes or impacts
of the war, but focuses on the astounding
experiences of the troops in the thick of it.
“Palo Alto” (R) -- Dreamy and disaf-
fected teenagers in a nice California suburb
emote all of the angst, longing and confu-
sion in this film about wasted youth. April
(Emma Roberts) is a high-school girl who is
occasionally teased as the class virgin, and
frequently teased for being the favorite of
her super-cute soccer coach, Mr. B (James
Franco). Teddy (Jack Kilmer) is interested
in April, but he keeps getting caught in the
bad decisions of his best friend, Fred -- a
human vortex of disturbing teen reckless-
ness. First-time director Gia Coppola (yes,
related) adapted the movie from a series of
short stories by Franco.

Losing another comedic icon
By Todd M Clayton Jr
Editor in Chief
Joan Rivers passed away on September
4, she was a comedian for over 5 decades,
Rivers first came to prominence in 1965 as
a guest on The Tonight Show, a pioneer-
ing late-night program with interviews and
comedy, hosted by Johnny Carson, whom
she acknowledged as her mentor.
The show established her particular
comic style, poking fun at celebrities, but
also at herself, often joking about her ex-
tensive plastic surgery.
When she launched a rival program,
The Late Show, he never spoke to her
again. She went on to host a successful
daytime slot, The Joan Rivers Show, which
won her a Daytime Emmy for Outstanding
Talk Show Host.
Her satirical style of humor, however,
by focusing on the personal lives of celeb-
rities and public figures, was sometimes
criticized.
She also authored 12 best-selling
memoir and humor books, and provided
comic material for stage and television. As
an actress, Rivers was nominated for the
Tony Award for Best Actress in a Play in
1994 for her performance as Sally Marr in
Sally Marr...and her escorts.
During her 55-year career as a come-
dian, her tough-talking style of satirical
humor was both praised and criticized as
being truthful, yet too personal, too gos-
sipy, and very often abrasive. Nonetheless,
with her ability to “tell it like it is,” she be-
came a pioneer of contemporary stand-up
comedy.
Commenting about her style, she told
biographer Gerald Nachman, “Maybe I
started it. We’re a very gossipy culture. All
we want to know now is private lives.

Beeching started speaking out in fa-
vour of gay marriage beginning in Decem-
ber 2013. Although the announcement was
met with controversy and disapproval.
She was nominated for The National
Diversity Awards in the category of “Posi-
tive Role Model Race, Faith & Religion”
although she did not end up as part of the
shortlist for the year. in an August 2014
interview with The Independent, Beeching
came out as a lesbian.
After moving to the United States in
her early 20s, Beeching signed with Spar-
row Records and released a 2005 EP, titled
The Journey.Her first full-length Sparrow
album, Yesterday, Today & Forever, was
released on 27 December 2005.
Her second full-length studio album,
Painting the Invisible, was produced by Ed
Cash and Nathan Nockels and released on
3 April 2007
In December 2012, Beeching tweeted
that she was moving to London. In Febru-
ary 2013, she tweeted that she was work-
ing on a PhD in the ethics of technology at
Durham University.

Q: I am a big fan of “24,” and was
pleasantly surprised to see the character of
Cheng return this summer. Can you tell me
where else I can see the actor who played
him? -- Lawrence E., Baltimore
A: Tzi Ma is the longtime character
actor who lost his head as Cheng Zhi in the
season finale of “24: Live Another Day.”
I spoke with Tzi recently, and was de-
lighted (and a bit relieved) to find that he
was nothing like Cheng and much more
like his character of the Zen Master on
USA’s “Satisfaction” (which has its season
finale on Thursday, Sept. 18, at 10/9c).
Tzi (pronounced “tie”) was thrilled to
get the call to return to his bad-guy role on
“24,” but it almost made him miss out on
“Satisfaction” when shooting for both se-
ries began to overlap.
Tzi told me: “It was a bit of a logistical
nightmare. Thank goodness they worked it
out. ‘Satisfaction’ was on the brink of re-
placing me because I was supposed to be
in Atlanta by the middle of May, and I was
still in England. I flew straight from Lon-
don to Atlanta. And I was still on hold for
‘24’ in case we needed to do reshoots. Sean
(Jablonski, the creator of ‘Satisfaction’) is
so generous and supportive and trusting.
They waited for me, and I am so grateful
for that. Thank you, guys!”
Tzi also addressed the statement made
by Freddie Prinze Jr. that Keifer Sutherland
was unprofessional and difficult to work
with: “Look at what Keifer’s done for ‘24.’
He’s been in practically every scene,
from beginning to end, for nine seasons.
That should tell you something about this
guy’s work ethic. I don’t know any actor
who comes to the set more prepared than
him. You can’t carry a show like this be-
ing an asshole. Everyone has his moments,
even me. The fact is, he doesn’t compro-
mise because he is trying to achieve excel-
lence.”
***
Q: I can’t get enough “Outlander”!
Please tell me it will be back for another
season. -- Eleanor W., The Villages, Fla.
A: I am thrilled to tell you that after its
record-shattering opening weekend, Starz
did indeed renew the time-traveling/fan-
tasy/historical-drama/romance series for a
second season. Early reports say that the
second season will be at least 13 episodes,
and it will be based on Diana Gabaldon’s
second book in the “Outlander” series,
“Dragonfly in Amber.”
***
Q: Like the rest of the world, I was
shocked and heartbroken to hear about
Robin Williams’ suicide. I know he was
working on some movies before his death.
Will any be released posthumously? -- Kel-
li F., via email
A: The consummate funnyman with
a heart as big as his funny bone left this
world way too soon, as I’m sure we all
can agree. He did leave behind four mov-
ies that have yet to be released: “Night at
the Museum: Secret of the Tomb,” “Mer-
ry Friggin’ Christmas,” “Boulevard” and
“Absolutely Anything.”

ed, and strong commitment would be ways
to describe me as a student and employee
of Edmonds Community College.
I now serve as the Issues and Aware-
ness Programmer while pursuing and AA
in business in the hopes to become a cor-
porate event planner.
I can proudly present that I have perse-
vered through many obstacles such as loss
of a family member, maintaining education
while working two jobs, and including re-
ceiving my Honors Roll for three consecu-
tive quarters.
.I put out the effort to bring out the
voices of students at our campus to raise
awareness of whatever issue is at hand.
Please do not hesitate to come up and
ask questions or even have a conversation
with your concerns.

I am an international student from
Vietnam, and this is my second year at Ed-
13
monds.
I am pursuing an AA degree in Busi-
ness and would like to major in Human Re-
sources. I value community service, bond-
ing among people, and fun.
Some key words about me are inquisi-
tive, affectionate, cheerful, adaptable, eas-
ily bored, and sometimes quarrelsome.
I like meeting new people and getting
involved in school activities. I’d prefer be-
ing enjoyably busy than having too much
time for nothing.
My goal for this year as a service-
learning programmer is, of course, getting
the students actively involved in school ac-
tivities in general, and community service
in particular.

Prayer and college work is a challenge during Ramadan

By Ivy Raines
Opinion Editor
Finding a balance in college is hard,
but finding a balance without food or water
is even harder. Millions of Muslims col-
lege students can vouch for this.
A part of the 5 pillars of Islam, Ra-
madan (also known as self-purification via
fasting) is a practice Muslims participate
in once a year for one month going from
dawn to dusk without food or water.
The primary purpose of Ramadan is to
give perspective to those who go without
food and water on a day to basis.
It is to raise awareness and compas-
sion among individuals as well as the com-
munity. As Muslims break their fast at dusk
(also commonly known as Iftar) they are to
understand that many don’t have the option
to look forward to food and a warm bed to
sleep in at the end of each day.

A celebration of equality on National Coming-out Day
By Todd M Clayton Jr
Editor in Chief

National Coming Out Day

(NCOD) is an internationally observed
civil awareness day celebrating in-
dividuals who publicly identify as a
gender or sexual minority. The day is
observed annually by members of the
LGBT community and allies on Octo-
ber 11.
National Coming Out Day is ob-
served annually to celebrate coming
out and to raise awareness of the LGBT
community and civil rights movement.
The holiday is observed in a wide
variety of ways: from rallies and pa-
rades to information tables in public
spaces. Participants often wear pride
symbols such as pink triangles and
rainbow flags.

Gun Control - Pro and Con your choice of protection

By Charles Anderson / Robert Nathans
Guest Writers
Gun control pros and cons have been
discussed innumerable times. They have
been thoroughly analyzed in gun control
debates.
But since both the advocates and op-
ponents of gun control stick to their posi-
tions, the issue remains unresolved. I am
listing below a few important gun control
pros and cons and evaluating them.
Points made in support of gun con-
trol (pros)
1) Gun control facts reveal that the US
population is only 5 percent of the popula-
tion of the world. But the number of guns
in possession of the US residents is 50 per-
cent of the number of guns in the world.
The gun ownership figures are only
for privately owned guns and do not in-
clude the guns owned by the police, armed
forces etc.

ance of gun control pros and cons towards

The Legalization of same-sex marriage world wide Pros-Con

By John Goins / Paul Eckroad
Guest Writers
Same-sex marriage has been a contro-
versial social issue in the U.S. for several
decades, but public opinion on this topic
seems to be evolving.
For example, an annual poll by Gallup
has been tracking the question of whether
or not same-sex marriages should be legal
since 1968, and the percentage of favorable
responses has increased from 27 percent to
53 percent during this time frame.
Although this certainly is not a huge
majority, it does indicate that the support
for same-sex marriage within the U.S. is
likely to become increasingly widespread
over the next couple of decades.
However, there are still several reli-
gious and political groups who are opposed
to the idea of same-sex marriage. This op-
position is typically based on the belief that
homosexuality is a sin, but the separation
of church and state is supposed to make
this viewpoint legally irrelevant.

My name is Lia and I am the new Out-

I’ve been taking classes since Spring 2013
and I plan to go for my AA.
I got the idea of joining the Green
Team during my involvement in the LEAF
School and learning about an exciting job
opening on campus related to sustainabil-
ity. My passion is educating others and
raising environmental awareness, and as
the Outreach Coordinator I’ll be doing just
that. If you have any questions, from sus-

As the Green Team Student Urban
Farm Coordinator, I am responsible for
maintaining the health, safety, and beauty
of the farm and increasing its accessibility
to all members of campus by coordinating
volunteer opportunities, and actively pro-
moting the farm to the campus community.
During the 2014-15 school years, I
will help to further promote the Farm mak-
ing information about events and work par-
ties easily accessible for students, staff and
faculty.
I personally, and with the help of the
Green Team, am doing my best to listen
and learn all I can about sustainable prac-
tices on and off campus.
As a Green Team member I will help
to Promote, educate, and demonstrate re-
sponsibly, different steps students, staff,
and faculty can take to improve the wellbe-
ing of our shared environment.
I enrolled here at Edmonds in 2010,
and have loved this school with all my
heart.
I am a very dedicated student that
cares about my future, as well as the future
of our children. I came to Edmonds to at-
tain my Associates of Arts degree, and will
graduate this fall, but I have grown and
learned so much more than I ever imag-
ined!
This college is inspiration to me, as
well as other students, the state and to the
nation. My success here at Edmonds is
proof of its mission statement, as Edmonds
Community College has, “Encouraged my
success, given me new innovations, ser-
vice, and a lifelong learning ability.”
Now that I am an employee here at
Edmonds, I plan on using all the knowl-

make a difference for our future!

Karsten Hayes
Green Team Waste Stream
Specialist
Edmonds Community College
My name is Karsten and I am the
Waste Stream Specialist for the EdCC
Green Team!
My main task is to coordinate the
RecycleMania event from February 1st
through March 28th, but you will probably
see me at some point in the cafeteria trash
talking with people.
Feel free to come up and talk to me
or ask any questions you may have about
recycling, garbage, or composting.
I started taking classes part time at Ed-
monds Community College last year dur-
ing my Junior year at high school through
Running Start.
I decided to do full Running Start this
year because the college provides a much
wider array of classes to take and find out
what I am interested in.
I hope to have my AA by the end of
this year and transfer to a 4-year university.
I am very excited to be a member of
the Green Team.
I aspire to be an environmental en-
gineer so I plan to use many of the skills
from this team to pursue that goal.
I hope to increase the recycling rate on
campus from a measly 34% to around 40%
or more, but that will require a lot of help
from all of you!
As a team, we sorted through a few
garbage cans on campus and the results
were pretty disappointing.
About half of the items that were
thrown away could have been recycled
and about a fourth of them could have
been composted, leaving only a fourth that
rightfully should have gone in the garbage.
It was even worse that the food and
drink items in the garbage had contami-
nated some of the recyclable items so that
they could no longer be recycled.
If everyone would take the time to
throw their items in the right bin, our cam-
pus could be nearly waste free.

sive secondary at all in spite of facing one
of the best QBs in the league.
How long can their current recipe of
defense-running-efficient QB play may run
its course with this season, even if it holds
up to injury and adjustment for now.
Their QB, Russell Wilson, will be
eligible for renegotiation after the sea-
son. With a Super Bowl ring or two on his
hand, a major redo on his current salary of
$300,000 per season seems nearly certain.
If his salary jumps up to the $15 to
$20 million per year level, a huge chunk
of money will be taken out of the defense
or offensive line in order to stay within

the salary cap, especially with cornerback
Richard Sherman’s new deal averaging
$14 million per season.
The reality is that with Wilson making
a huge figure, he will have to bear a much
bigger responsibility for success, not just
play efficiently and effectively within their
scheme but become a truly difference-
making playmaker.
Already, the Sherman deal makes for
an interesting economic experiment. Evi-
dence suggests that teams need some great
players, but, of course, it is all a matter of
how much the team gets in return for their
investment.
Even a great player can be overpaid
(and, again, similar evidence suggests this
occurs with some frequency) with each
couple million meaning a reduction in
depth and quality at other positions, given
salary cap math.
It’s tough to justify a $14 million sal-
ary for a cornerback. In spite of the term
“shut down” corner being thrown around a
lot over the years, really only Deion Sand-
ers truly deserved that phrase for any ex-
tended period.
However, in Thursday night’s game,
the Packers treated Sherman with the kind
of respect that Sanders garnered, choosing
not even to go in his direction.
That is a hugely valuable contribution
because it effectively shuts down a section
of the field from the offense.
Getting to know: Kei Nishikori
at the 2014 US Open

Lukas Dlouhy. Roland Garros 2011.

Guest Writer
Seeded 10th at the 2014 US Open, Kei
Nishikori defeated four seeded players, in-
cluding world No. 1 Novak Djokovic, dur-
ing his exciting run to his first Grand Slam
final.
He upset Djokovic in four sets after
playing two consecutive five-set matches,
against No. 3 seed Stan Wawrinka and the
No. 5 seed Milos Raonic, in the quarterfi-
nals and fourth round, respectively.
Get to know more about Nishikori,
who reached his first US Open final after
five tries here in Flushing Meadows:
Nishkori, 24, was born in Shimane,
Japan. He currently resides in Bradenton,
Fla.
He began playing tennis at the age of
5. At 14, he traveled to Florida to train full-
time at the Nick Bolletieri Tennis Acad-
emy. He didn’t speak a word of English
when he arrived.
Heis the only Japanese player ever
to be ranked inside the Top 10 in the ATP
singles rankings.
He is the first ever male Asian player
(and overall second Asian player, after Li
Na) to reach a Grand Slam singles final.
He has won five singles titles in his
career (2008, Delray Beach; 2012, To-
kyo; 2013, Memphis; 2014, Barcelona and
Memphis).
Prior to making the 2014 US Open fi-
nal, his best Grand Slam result came at the
2012 Australian Open, where he reached
the quarterfinals before falling to the No. 4

seed, Andy Murray.
Since January 2014, he has been
coached by 1989 French Open champion
Michael Chang, who won the Roland Gar-
ros title at the age of 17.
In 2008, he reached the round of 16 at
the US Open, which included a win over
David Ferrer, at the time ranked No. 4 in
the world. With the win.
He became the youngest player to
defeat a Top 4 seed in New York since
17-year-old Bjorn Borg defeated No. 3
seed Arthur Ashe in the 1973 third round.
Nishikori’s father, Kiyoshi, is an engi-
neer, and his mother, Eri, is a piano teacher.
He has an older sister, Reina, who works
in Toyko.
He was named the 2008 ATP New-
comer of the Year, becoming the first Asian
player to win the award.
He had a cyst removed on his foot this
past August, and only started playing points
a few days before the 2014 US Open.
(This summer, he withdrew from the
Emirates Airline US Open Series events
in Toronto and Cincinnati.) He sometimes
practiced for the event by hitting balls
while sitting in a chair.
He uses a Wilson BLX Tour Racquet,
wears Adidas shoes, and his apparel comes
from Uniqlo.
He entered the US Open at No. 11 in
the ATP rankings. After the Open, he will
eclipse his career-high ranking of No. 9, set
in May of this year.
 The Review
EdCC Volleyball spikes it over the net
By Todd M Clayton Jr
Editor-in-Chief
Edcc Volleyball has the workings of
a great team this year with three returning
for their sophmore year and nine freshman
joining the ranks.
Most of the team are local area with
the exception of Shaleea Butler who hails
from Las Vegas.
The team works together to accom-
plish the goals, the freshman listen to the
imput given by the sophmores, then the
sophmores lead without being bossy.
Struggling in being young and inexpe-
rienced is a minor setback in the freshman
, but they are handling it with professional-
ism and are getting better.
Everyoine on the team loves the sport
so they will help out their fellow team
mates to make sure they are at thier best.
The volleyball team is a well oiled
machine, the work as a family, though dis-
function does happen ones in a while, but
they sort it out on their own without casu-
ing any major problems amongst the rest
of the team, practice or play time.
Jason Davis the headcoach for two
years, has worked hard to put a good team
together. Two year before becoming head
coach he was the assistant coach, and he
has 11 years experience as a volleyball
coach.
Davis even runs a 501c3 non-profit
youth volleyball organization locally, he is
the man that you want to be coach voley-
ball the man has it running through his
blood.
He was playing volleyball since he
was a child, his father was a player in the
local are also, so having some one with
that much love for the game, you know he
is going to be a great coach and help the
team accomplish all their goals on and off
the court.
Sharapova is also the goddess of sweets
By Todd M Clayton Jr
Editor in Chief
Maria Sharipova is a very talented ten-
nis player, she has made the sport popular
again.
Not since Anna kournikova has tennis
had many male fans that seem to enjoy the
game.
Maria is a Russian professional ten-
nis player who as of July 7, 2014 is ranked
world No. 6 by the Women’s Tennis Asso-
ciation and is the top Russian player.
A United States resident since 1994.
Sharapova has won 32 WTA singles titles,
including five Grand Slam singles titles.
She has also won the year-end WTA
Tour Championships in 2004. The WTA
has ranked Sharapova world No. 1 in sin-
gles on five separate occasions, for a total
of 21 weeks.
She became the world No. 1 for the
first time on August 22, 2005, and last held
the ranking for the fifth time for four weeks
from June 11, 2012 to July 8, 2012.
She has been in nine Grand Slam fi-
nals with a record of 5–4 with her most
recent Grand Slam coming at the 2014
French Open where she won her second
French Open title and fifth Grand Slam
title overall.
Samantha Rogers an amatuer tennis
player “ I enjoy tennis and I love watch-
ing Maria play, the grunting that she does
when she its the ball, just proves that she
loves what she does.”
“I started to play tennis in high school
thanks to her and the other women tennis
players that influenced the game.”

The college also won the 2014 AVCA
(The American Volleyball Coaches Asso-
ciation) academic award, one of the two 2
year colleges to have won it.
As the season is starting it also comes
to an end in November, if you want to see
the talent of the volleyball team come and
watch their games at home or away.
Davis is a good coach he has them
practicing one and half tpo two hours at a
day.
He will shut the practice down if there
is an injury or so that the team doesn’t get
burnt out so they can recoupe their energy
and be able to practice better afterwards.
Sharapova has been featured in a num-
ber of modeling assignments, including a
feature in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit
Issue.
She has been featured in many adver-
tisements, including for Nike, Prince, and
Canon, and is the face of several fashion
houses, most notably Cole Haan.
Since February 2007, she has been a
United Nations Development Programme
Goodwill Ambassador, concerned spe-
cifically with the Chernobyl Recovery and
Development Programme.
In June 2011, she was named one of
the “30 Legends of Women’s Tennis: Past,
Present and Future” by Time, and in March
2012 was named one of the “100 Greatest
of All Time” by Tennis Channel.
Sharapova had not played since Au-
gust 2013 due to a recurring shoulder in-
jury and made her comeback at the 2014
Brisbane International.
Sharapova advanced to the semi-finals
where she was beaten in straight sets by
Serena Williams.
At the 2014 Australian Open Sharapo-
va, ranked 3rd, was knocked out of the
tournament in the 4th round by the 20th
seed, and eventual finalist, Dominika Cib-
ulkova.
Sharapova lost the match in 3 sets.
Sharapova then participated in GDF Suez
where she was upset in the semifinals to
fellow Russian and eventual tournament
winner Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova in three
sets.
Sharapova then played the 2014 Rog-
ers Cup in Montreal where she was the 4th
seed.

Horoscope by Samantha Weaver

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) A chaotic
atmosphere taxes the patience of the Ar-
ies Lamb, who prefers to deal with a more
orderly environment. Best advice: Stay out
of the situation until things settle.
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Tension
runs high in both personal and workplace
relationships. This can make it difficult to
get your message across. Best to wait until
you have a more receptive audience.
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) This is a
good time to take a break from your busy
schedule to plan for some well-deserved
socializing. You could get news about an
important personal matter by the week’s
end.
CANCER (June 21 to July 22) An offer
of help could come just when you seem
to need it. But be careful about saying yes
to anything that might have conditions at-
tached that could cause problems down the
line.
LEO (July 23 to August 22) Sometimes a
workplace colleague can’t be charmed into
supporting the Lion’s position. That’s when
it’s time to shift tactics and overwhelm the
doubter with the facts.
VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) You
continue to earn respect for your efforts to
help someone close to you stand up to a
bully. But be careful that in pushing this
matter you don’t start to do some bullying
yourself.
LIBRA (September 23 to October 22)
Don’t ask others if they think you’re up to
a new responsibility. Having faith in your
own abilities is the key to dealing with a
chall
enge. P.S.: That “private” matter needs
your attention.
SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21)
This is a good time to use that Scorpian
creativity to come up with something spe-
cial that will help get your derailed career
plans back on track and headed in the right
direction.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to Decem-
ber 21) While change is favored, it could
be a good idea to carefully weigh the pos-
sible fallout as well as the benefits of any
moves before you make them.
CAPRICORN (December 22 to January
19) The Goat continues to create a stir by
following his or her own path. Just be sure
you keep your focus straight and avoid any
distractions that could cause you to make
a misstep.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18)
A colleague’s demands seem out of line.
But before reacting one way or another,
talk things out and see how you might re-
solve the problem and avoid future misun-
derstandings.
PISCES (February 19 to March 20) A per-
sonal matter appears to be making more
demands on your time than you feel you’re
ready to give. See if some compromise can
be reached before things get too dicey.
