Stepping Up Their Game: JV to Varsity

The chasm between JV and varsity sports is much greater at the collegiate level than in high school. It takes more than determination, sacrifice, time and athleticism, although it still requires all of these elements, to move from junior varsity to varsity in college. It takes something more. Ethan Lee, a senior finance major and forward on the soccer team, is another athlete who made his way from JV to varsity. During his freshman year at Delaware’s Seaford High, Lee worked his way ...

In Case of a Zombie Apocalypse

Cedarville is prepared for the threat of an infectious disease on campus, but would happen if campus was affected by… a zombie apocalypse?! Zombies are featured in several popular movies, shows and books, including “The Walking Dead,” “World War Z” and the “Maze Runner” series.

Just Sayin’: Be Where You Are

It’s fall in Ohio. The days are warm and nights are crisp. The leaves will be at their peak colors in the next couple weeks, and Peifer Orchard has amazing apple cider slushies for two dollars. Young’s should have the corn maze up and running, and Fairborn has a wonderful disc golf course. The sunsets at Buck Creek easily rival Cedarville’s, and Yellow Springs will be having the street fair soon. The day after this is put in print if I am correct. And who could forget Pumpkin Spice Lattes ...
