Students share their perspectives on the ongoing nursing home debate

By Maggie Fipps The reputation of nursing homes, if they had a good one to begin with, took a hit after 2020. With 168,579 COVID-19 deaths in nursing homes alone, the pandemic highlighted their staffing deficiencies. In response, Biden’s campaign promised to give adequate staffing and training to nursing home aides and give long-term caretakers better benefits and pay. In September, the administration took steps to fulfill those promises. The new regulations require three hours of ...

Arts in Action: You live. You learn. You laugh.

By Ella Smith From “Cracking Up” to “Scared Silly,” Cedarville’s very own comedy org Love to Laugh (LOL) has the campus in a riot of laughter. While over three hundred people came to their first show of the year alone, few people see the hard work, creativity, and teamwork that goes into putting on new and unique comedy shows that keep people laughing. Although all of LOL’s shows are improv there is still a lot of practicing that goes on behind the scenes. The org meets for ...

‘Killers of the Flower Moon’ is a reminder to confront unflinchingly cruel sides of history often forgotten

By Ben Konuch “There might be some insurrection for a while. But then people forget that. They don't remember and they don't care. It will be another ordinary everyday tragedy." Martin Scorsese’s newest film, “Killers of the Flower Moon,” is by no means an easily accessible film to watch. Its runtime is close to three and a half hours, it holds a firm R rating and deals with some of the bleakest subject matter I’ve seen in a major Hollywood production.  Yet in spite of ...

Stray cat population returns to Cedarville 

By Ethan Charles  Cedarville has a reputation for attracting stray cats, and this year things have ramped up yet again.  In April of this year, Cedarville Mayor John Cody Jr. attempted to solve this problem with a controversial ordinance that banned the feeding of stray cats, in hopes of preventing the stray population from growing more than it had already.  The now-tabled ordinances were vague and brought with it harsh backlash from advocacy group Alley Cat Allies for ...

‘Loki’ returns with an intriguing season two

By Janie Walenda How time flies. In 2021, when the first season of “Loki” was released, the Marvel TV shows still had the allure of novelty and the MCU was still at the beginning of its post-“Endgame” era. Two years later, much of the excitement for the MCU fizzled out. The deluge of movies and television shows that lacked the interconnectivity fans expected of the franchise resulted in many fans losing interest. Even as a person who enjoyed almost every MCU project in recent years, ...

‘Steal Fire from the Gods’ held me captive till the very last page

By Ellie Estrema Ever since “The Hunger Games” swept onto the YA scene, dystopian novels have been a staple of the genre. From the speculative “Divergent” to the thrilling “The Maze Runner” to the Christian “Out of Time,” there has been a dystopian novel for every reader’s preference. However, no dystopian novel has ever captured my attention long enough to leave an impact. So when I picked up “Steal Fire from the Gods” by Clint Hall, a dystopian story with ...

Brads’ Breakdown: New month, new stakes

By Alan Brads Champions are crowned in December and January. They are forged in November. How do you fare when you play three tough conference games in a row? Can you bounce back from a loss? When your star linebacker gets thrown out for targeting, can you rally against your archrival? Can you handle the snow? Balanced teams have the best chance to address all those questions. That is why I love Oregon’s chances in the Pac-12, and Ohio State or Michigan to win postseason games. ...
