By Maggie Fipps
When Joshua and Emily Kaster moved to Cedarville in 2012, Main Street looked very different. Lola’s Mexican restaurant did not exist, Orion Coffee and Tea went by Stony Creek and Double Dragon, a Chinese restaurant, inhabited the white building at 46 N. Main St.

Christian summer camps create many emotional, spiritual and worshipful experiences. There is nothing like freely worshiping Jesus in a crowd of young adults.
This shocked Donnie Gardiner, a sophomore Management student at Cedarville University, in 2018 when he went to a Christian summer camp for the first time. A native from the Turks and Caicos Islands, he never saw a group of people his age raising their hands in total ...

By Ashleigh Clark
This summer was quite the summer for remakes, adaptations and sequels. Some were good; some were adequate; some were bad. In my summer review, I’d like to talk about an adaptation that soared above my expectations and a sequel that just barely met them. This is my review of “Fallout” and “Twisters.”
“Fallout,” an Amazon Prime TV show based on the hit game series of the same name, is the next installment in successful video game adaptations. ...

The Yellow Jackets celebrate their 100th year of athletics by adding another sport, women’s golf, in the fall of 2025.
Vice president for athletics, Chris Cross, said that President Dr. White and the president's cabinet noticed a lack of like-minded Christian schools offering the program. They received interest from many prospective students and asked themselves how to fill that gap.
