Kyle Beach reported a sexual assault from a coach back in 2010. The video from CBS news gives a brief summary of the Assault while the article written in NBC Chicago gives much more detail. The written article gives much more background that helps put the whole story together. I feel the length is much longer in the written story as it gives much more information if you are actually interested in the story where the video gives a brief overview. The sounds and videos do help as it identifies the victim and the person who did the sexual assault. One thing I found very interesting was the video mentioned other sexual assault allegations against this coach while the written version doesnt. I feel adding these other sexual assault allegations helps paint a picture that this guy is not a good guy. The written story includes many quotes from Kyle Beach which help show his feelings and give more perspective. I think it’s kinda crazy how two stories over the same thing can have so many similarities and differences. I personally like the written version as I wanted to know more information than the video had to offer.

Washington State Football Coach Fired for not getting Vaccine

Washington State Football coach fired for not receiving the Covid-19 vaccine. Nick Rolovich along with four other assistant coaches were fired for not meeting the state’s vaccination mandate. Rolovich was the state’s highest paid employee as he was in the second year of his 15 million dollar contract. Washington State’s president, Kirk Shulz, said “people made a choice, and had months to make that choice” Rolovich was denied a religious exemption from getting the mandated vaccine. This vaccine mandate is among the strictest throughout the entire country. Rolovich will potentially lose more than 9 million dollars due to being fired. The crack down at Washington State is not just with the employees as students who do not get the vaccine will not be allowed back next semester. 

The author did a great job of explaining what was happening at Washington State University. The author gave a lot of background which showed how the coach knew it was coming if he did not get vaccinated. The story was very good as it used quotes from players that defended him and also quotes from the president and athletic director of the school. One thing I wanted from the story is a quote from the coach explaining how he feels about the situation. 

This is big news as Rolovich was one of the state’s highest paid employees. I think this also shows big changes may come in the future regarding the vaccine. In recent months we have seen many other situations with players or coaches punished or even losing jobs due to not getting the vaccine. I think this story is important as it may be foreshadowing what will happen in the future.

(Final) Women Basketball Looking to Build Off Impressive 2020 Season

The Morningside girls basketball team is coming  off an outstanding year in 2020, and is looking forward to the upcoming season. 

The team will be lead by a returning first team All-American Sierra Mitchell and honorable mention all america Sophia Peppers

Sophia had an incredible seasons last year as she average a little over 14 points per game. 

Sophia credits her success to her coaches and teammates who helped push her to become the best player she could. 

Sophomore point guard Alexis Spier and Senior Sophia Pepper both are very excited about the upcoming season. Alexis played an important but minimum role on varsity as freshman last year and Sophia coming off her best season ever as a mustang.

Her favorite part of her freshman campaign was “getting to play during the National Tournament.”

The team is returning 4 out 5 starters from last year, but they did lose some valuable defensive players.

Alexis  Spier said, “Me and some other teammates have really put an emphasis on improving our defense this offseason and preseason.”

Their goal is to help fill the role and bring the same energy to the team that the Faith and Grace, who graduated, brought to every game. 

The ending of last year was a hard one for the team last year as they were two wins away from winning the National tournament. 

Alexis believes that being so close to winning it all has taught the team many lessons that they will be able to bring into this upcoming season. 

Sophia Peppers said “being so close to accomplishing our goals pushed the team to work even harder during the off season.”

Sophia Peppers is looking forward to the upcoming season and wants to have an unforgettable senior year.
When I asked her what would make it unforgettable she talked about accomplishing the huge goals this team has. 

The team had a thrilling performance during the 2020 national tournament, the team thrived off of the hometown crowd. The tournament was located in Sioux City, Iowa and Alexis believed “the energy brought by the fans helped us to play our best every game”

The upcoming season will kickoff in under a month as team will travel to play Saint Xavier in Illinoi on November 5th. 

The team is excited for this road trip and has big goals of winning a National championship this year.  

Shopping

I would take myself out to by a Bugatti Centodieci. The color of it would be matte black with some chrome as a secondary color. The neon under kit will shine on the road below it ass it drives off the dealership lot. The car will be loud so everyone around looks to see it. As I drive it home I will see many people pulling out their phones to catch a picture of my sweet new ride. The cost is about 10 million dollars but it is one of top sports cars in the world as there are only ten in the entire world. When you open the suicide doors the all black interior will give off the refreshing new car smell. The lights inside the car and door will be a good accent to the interior. The loud subs will make it so everyone on the street can hear the bass coming from your music. When I drive it home my mother will be very mad as she would never want me to drive a car like that. She views the car as dangerous while I see it as an adrenaline rush every time you get in. When giving it away just about anyone would want it. Not everyone would want to drive and keep it but they would take it just to resell it and make an enormous profit. While some other people may keep it just to use it as their primary vehicle.

My Last Conversation

The last conversation I had was with my mother over the phone after my football practice. I was walking through the stairs on my way to my room. She was driving so it was very noisy in the background of the call. I asked to speak with my little sister as it is her birthday today. My mom told me she was at dance class.

I said, “can you have her call me when she gets out.”

My mom told me she will have her call me. Then I told her goodbye and I hung up.

Gushers

Opening the yellow wrapper filled that is decorated with many brights colors. When pulling the gusher out you may see a variety of color as it could be a red, orange, green, or blue. The gushers are stuck together and takes some force to pull them apart.

When you first bite into them it is often very chewy and takes some force to break through the outer gummy shell. Once the shell pops your mouth is filled with a sweet and fruity liquid. The sugar full candy burst in your mouth and gives a refreshing feeling.

The 7 gushers; 3 green, 2 orange, and 2 red gives the eater a chew of a fruit snack but the surprise of a fruity liquid.

John Gonsler interesting Career route, led to Morningside University

John Gonsler has had an interesting route to end up becoming one of the newer professors at Morningside University. Gonsler began his career as a police officer, which he did not particularly enjoy.
Gonsler did not like the politics of the police department as he described the sheriff by saying, “was dirtier than a pig’s dick.”

This lead to Gonsler going a different direction by becoming a correctional officer. He worked in a medium to maxim security prison for 6 months. In this time, He was out numbere 160 prisioners to one guard.

He was not well protected as he only had a can of pepper spray, handcuffs, and a walkie. To help describe some of the prisoners he mentioned that an individual benched 405 pound multiple times. The craziness was described by an individual prisoner and the pet birds. The pet birds were dead and put into the heating pot. 

Gonzler decided this was not the best route for him as a carrier, so he decided to go back to school.

In his time back in school, he became pen pals with the unabomber, Ted Kaczynski. 

Ted Kaczynksi was not a easy person to get to respond to people, but Gonzler said, “If you want to be pen balls, you have to find an in.” 

The letter exchanges occurred for a couple months until Gonsler wrote a question Kacznski did not like. Gonzler was put on a federal security list for almost a decade. 

Gonzler though through many different ideas for what he wanted his carrer path to be. 

Morningside stood out as he was given the opportunity to grow the Criminal Justice Department.

He is now in his second year at Morningside and really enjoys “teaching the Criminal Justice intro class.” 

Gonzler goal is to help his students to find the career that is best for them, he does this by “exposing students to the good and bad of all these positions”

Judge Pauses Texas Abortion Law

A federal judge puts a pause on a recent law passed in texas that bans nearly all of abortions state wide. This law has been in the news a lot as it is a very questionable law in many people’s eyes. Judge Pitman said,  women have been unlawfully prevented from exercising control over their own lives in ways that are protected by the Constitution.” The group of people supporting the bill are unhappy with the judges decision as they feel the bill has saved “4,700 babies” in only a month. There will continue to be many court battles over this law and we will see in future whether it is considered constitutional or not.
The authors, Kattie Beener and Sabrina Tavernise, did a great job of explaining the situation going on in Texas. They gave important background information which made it easier to understand the situation going on. The authors also did a good job of explaining both sides of the argument. They used quotes from the judge who does not support the bill while also relaying information from people who do support the bill. Overall, the authors do a great job of using great detail and information to explain the situation going on in Texas. 

I feel this is news as the Texas abortion law has been a big topic since it was introduced around a month ago. This bill is very controversial and the final decision on it will have a major impact for the future. If the law is proven constitutional then the law may spread throughout many states in the United States. This story is important as it will have a major impact on Texas and depending on the decision could impact the rest of the country.
