“I can’t even imagine my life having not attempted suicide.”

Sophomore Sara Allaire saw her ! rst therapist for anxiety when she was 8 years old.

“Well I guess I’ve always had mental illness in my life because my aunt – she had schizophrenia – so when I was young I watched her go in and out of hospitals,” Allaire said.

“Even if I didn’t know exactly what was going on I always knew what mental illness was and my parents had to educate me on it.”

A rising issue in the world today, one out of every four people lives with a mental health disorder. Mental health disorders are anything from generalized anxiety disorder to OCD to schizophrenia. Currently, there are not cures to most mental illnesses.

Allaire went back to therapy when she was in eighth grade for what was thought to be ADHD. In ninth grade, Allaire started self-harming for the ! rst time.

“At that point I was just cutting myself,” Allaire said. Allaire cut for some time but then she stopped for about six months because she didn’t want to let her parents down. However, because she wasn’t getting the help she needed, she started cutting again in places – like her legs – that her parents wouldn’t ! nd.

" ere are approximately two million cases of self-harm reported annually in the U.S. and females represent 60% of those who engage in the act of self-harm.

Allaire didn’t revisit self-harm until she was a junior in high school. However, instead of cutting herself, the self-harm escalated to burning herself. “I would heat up a knife over the stove and then just stick it to my arm or leg. It sounds painful but it didn’t hurt at the time,” Allaire said.

Junior year of high school was one of the low points in

Allaires’ life. “I started having mood swings where for two weeks at a time I would just be on top of the world and then I would just drop to extreme depression for months,” Allaire said.

Because Allaire was so depressed the summer before her senior year of high school, she began her attempts at suicide.

“Over the summer I started making suicide attempts with cutting but either my mom would walk in on it or my sister would bang on the bathroom door or something would hap-pen that would stop me,” Allaire said.

“And I kept doing it probably every two weeks until October of senior year.”

Allaire noticed these mood swings during February of her junior year and these mood swings continued until October of her senior year. At a time when most students are looking at colleges and getting excited about what’s ahead, all Allaire wanted to do was quit.

“I felt like I didn’t even have a future. And there’s all this pressure on me – because I was always in AP classes, honors classes, I was in National Honors Society and I never got any-thing less than a B – so there’s all this pressure on me to go to a good college and to do well and I just felt like I didn’t even want to be alive,” Allaire said.

Depression is a dangerous thing and can make anyone feel like they’re powerless and out of control. About one in 10 children live with a serious mental or emotional disorder and two-thirds of people that successfully complete a suicide attempt are depressed at the time of their death. One person attempts suicide every 38 seconds.

“So in October I took a bottle of sleeping pills,” Allaire said. “I texted my best friend kind of a goodbye text and I left a note and my best friend didn’t even hesitate and she called me and I didn’t answer so she called my parents.”

Allaire took the sleeping pills in the bathroom and when her parents found out,

Sister Terry Shields, MSHR, one of the panelists at Cabrini’s showing of the anti-human tra/ cking documentary “Sex + Money” on Monday, shared with one of our editors the inspiring, transformational story of one of her clients that we felt compelled to pass on. Her client, a young woman, had been arrested 52 times during her heartbreaking experience as a victim of the sex tra/ cking industry – and yet, just last week, her criminal record had been erased of these arrests that made her out to be the villain, not the victim.

! e arrests were erased because she’d been o0 ered and had accepted a helping hand, one which chose to love her, not leave her; hers was a story of perseverance, of triumph in the face of modern-day slavery.

Sr. Terry is the treasurer for Dawn’s Place, a nine-bed shelter for the victims of both international and domestic commercial sex exploitation, an industry that generates $32 billion annually – half of which is made just in developed countries, in our own U.S. neighborhoods. Sex tra/ cking is said to happen in every city, even in the small towns no one suspects; no area is entirely safe; no woman, no child, is spared from the real threat of tra/ cking.

Dawn’s Place is located in

the Greater Philadelphia area, though its exact location is undisclosed for the guaranteed safety of its residents. It’s a shelter that takes in women from all over the globe, even given its modest size.

But why do these women get tra/ cked? What makes a tra/ cking victim, male or

female, vulnerable prey for the pimps and tra/ ckers?

Sr. Terry shared with us an answer that we see as the double-edged sword which all humans face head-on in their lives: a yearning to belong – and to be loved.

Many tra/ cking victims come from home environments that aren’t bursting with love,

ones that, in fact, are bereft of the stu0 . “Sex + Money” paints for us a true portrait of victims’ broken families, which nurture in them a despairing desire, a critical need, to get the love they’re so clearly missing in their lives.

And, once that love’s " nally o0 ered, it’s easy to believe that it’s for real.

If your perception of what love is, of what is and isn’t respectful and genuine, is stunted through past experiences, how are you to tell the di0 erence between the real thing and a pimp’s seemingly generous promises of a warm bed, a hot meal, steady income and work, and a hand to hold yours when times get tough – when that’s all you’ve been searching for?

! ese women are looking for love, just like us all.

One of the most beautiful things which Sr. Terry’s work at Dawn’s Home provides, and which shelters like it provides, is an organic sense of community, of compassion. Sr. Terry sees the shared community of Dawn’s Home residents as critical in the process of rebuilding the women’s broken lives; after all, they share one common struggle, and one common goal: of being loved for who they are.

We believe that it’s important to regard the struggles of tra/ cking victims not as

remote tragedies that happen in the background, but as active injustices that happen even in our own backyards.

During your next shopping trip to the King of Prussia mall, remind yourself that the glamor and innocence of window-shopping isn’t all it’s advertised to be: the mall is the largest tra/ cking “trading post” on the East coast. More women and children are tra/ cked at the mall in our own backyard than anywhere else up and down the eastern seaboard.

So, what can we do about this? Are we powerless to change this?

! e most critical thing is for us to maintain a level of compassion for victims. It’s impossible at times to know the di0 erence between a prostitute and a sex tra/ cking victim, as “Sex + Money” illustrates; some would even argue that they’re one and the same.

We must take this as a sign to be sensitive, and not to judge someone based on how he or she looks, or what they do – this needs to bleed into every area of our lives, as we’ll never know the whole picture of anyone’s struggle.

We must act with compassion; we must look for – and provide – love across all borders; we must recognize our shared humanity, and aim to ensure the guarantee of liberty for everyone.

It’s not always about donating to critical services like the one Dawn’s Place provides (although they do depend entirely on donations for their daily operations).

At times, it’s just about being with someone else, sharing your true self with him or her, and accepting their true self in return.

Without providing acceptance – without providing love – what good are we?

Looking for love, just like us all

It may be hard to detect in everyday situations, but that doesn’t make human tra!cking any less of a signi"cant concern throughout the United States.

Such was the main focus of a presentation at the Widener Lecture Hall on Monday evening. Representatives from the Covenant House of Philadelphia, the Delaware County District Attorney’s o!ce, Senator Daylin Leach’s o!ce and the FBI were on hand for a question-and-answer session as well as a screening of documentary “Sex+Money: a National Search For Human Worth.”

“I didn’t really know [human tra!cking] was going on that close to home,” attendee Erika Womack said. “It was really weird seeing that even some of my friends could be involved in it and I couldn’t even know.”

Carl Hill, outreach coordinator for the Covenant House of Philadelphia brought up the idea of a “john school”- a program for prostitute solicitors that educates them on human tra!cking and allows for payment of a "ne rather than any jail time.

Sarah Charles, district director for the O!ce of Senator Daylin Leach in King of Prussia, talked about projects that Sen. Leach is undergoing in order for legislation against human tra!cking, as well as encouraged the practice of lobbying.

“Know what you’re talking about before going in [to

lobby], and don’t be afraid to speak with a sta# member,” Charles said.

Delaware County Assistant District Attorney Pearl Kim discussed how the DA’s o!ce is going about the process of applying for funds and grants to step up their e#orts against human tra!cking. As the chief of the o!ce’s Human Tra!cking Unit, it’s a cause that Kim showed passion for.

Following the conversation, “Sex+Money” was screened. $e documentary follows students as they tour the country interviewing victims of human tra!cking, tra!ckers themselves, solicitors, government o!cials, activists and more as they seek answers for how it can happen on our soil.

Human tra!cking is trading of humans for various purposes, mainly sexual and forced labor. Internationally, it makes approximately $32 billion annually, with the average victim generating $13,000. In the United States, runaway and missing youth are at high risk, and the aver-age ages for a child to be forced into prostitution range from 12 to 14. While slavery in the United States was abol-ished in 1865, human tra!cking exists as a modern-day form of slavery.

In a 2011 study published by the Department of Justice, federal task forces opened up over 2,500 cases, with 82 percent being classi"ed as sex tra!cking (half of those also involved victims under the age of 18.) A majority of sex-tra!cking victims (83 percent) were U.S. citizens,

while a majority (67 percent) of labor-tra!cking vic-tims were undocumented immigrants.

These numbers may seem appalling, but Pennsylvania State Senator Stewart Greenleaf intends to "nd a solution to the problem with Senate Bill 75. $e bill intends to provide a clearer de"nition of human tra!cking, increase "nes and penalties, create a Council for the Prevention of Human Tra!cking, increase training for "rst responders and increase resources for victims.

Passed by the Senate Judiciary Committee, the bill was sent to the Senate %oor before being tabled. If approved by the Senate, it will then be sent to the State’s House of Representatives, where it will

be examined and voted upon by the House Judiciary Committee and voted upon by the House.

But while Senate Bill 75 is tabled by the Senate, there is still action that can be taken by students against human tra!cking. $e Covenant House as well as Dawn’s Place can provide opportunities for students to get involved, and getting in contact with state representatives and state senators could be a resource as well. $ere is also the National Human Tra!cking Resource Center Hotline at 1-888-373-7888.

“I would recommend that they join a local coalition…talk to the administrators at Covenant House, I would ask that they would speak to those in charge at Dawn’s Place and get involved,” Karol Brewer of the Cabrini Action and Advocacy Coalition and organizer of the event, said. “I also think that there are a lot of training sessions out there that kids could attend, and come back and reach 1,000 kids.”

Human tra!cking, whether for sex, labor or both, may not be visible, but it is still signi"cant. However, there are still resources out there to combat it.

“We have wonderful resources here, and I really want to get the kids involved,” Brewer said. “We’ve had a num-ber of events like this now and it’s always been a great turnout. $e kids just want to have more concrete ways to be involved.”

Accepted Students Day is a time for teachers, current students and sta# members to get to know the incoming freshman class, as well as for the incoming freshman class to know all of them. $is year, clubs and student organiza-tions set up tables on the Upper Athletic Field to give new students an inside look at what the College has to o#er.

Nicole Porecca, sophomore psychology major and member of the Active Minds club, was very excited about Accepted Students Day.

“I like how they had the lunch outside surrounded by the activities. It allowed for people to eat and move around freely in the open space and fresh air,” Porecca said. “$e atmosphere and the nice weather really seemed to create an accurate sense of what our campus and Cabrini has to o#er.”

Dan LaBar, freshman management and information systems major and Student Ambassador also had very positive things to say about Accepted Students Day.

“It was a great hit,” LaBar said. “A lot of students made their deposits and during the question panel, there were a lot of really great questions. $e incoming class seems really excited about what we have to o#er and about com-ing here in the fall.”

Students also seemed to be buzzing with excitement as they passed the tables.

Many were asking questions as to how they could get

involved once on campus, and current students were just as excited to respond.

“Everything with the panel was a great success. $ere were tons of students ask-ing about how to be ambassadors and about how they can get involved in clubs and activities on campus,” LaBar said. “Some were even asking about how they could start their own clubs once the next semester started.”

One of the biggest questions asked to the current students who helped with the days events was, “What can we do to make next year better?”

“I think it would be good if they could "nd a way to make the day lon-ger,” Porecca said. “$ey did a great job with the time they had, but there was a lot they tried to "t in, and I think if they made the events span out over the course of a few extra hours...the day would be more e#ec-tive.”

LaBar had an idea similar to Porecca’s.“It de"nitely should have been longer. I was giving

tours of campus over half an hour after the day ended, and I had more tours lined up after that, but I couldn’t give them because the day was over,” LaBar said.

$e overall e#ect of Accepted Students Day was to make students feel welcome to Cabrini’s campus as stu-

dents, but the real goal of Cabrini is much larger.“Cabrini has a lot in store for the incoming students,”

Porecca said. “$ey’re going to receive much more than a standard education. $ey’re going to receive an education of the heart.”

As exams loom closer, anxiety starts to take hold of the campus. However, the sta# of the Counseling and Psychological Services in partnership with Active Minds recently organized “De-stress with Dogs.” $e event, run in collaboration with Mainline Animal Rescue, was in celebration of National Stress Out Week. Around 200 students came out to play with some friendly canines in an e#ort to relax and relieve stress.

“We tried to do this last year, but the ideas kind of fell through,” Active Minds’ presi-dent, sophomore Robyn Suchy, said.”$is

year the Counseling Center actually made a partnership with Mainline Animal Rescue and asked Active Minds to become involved and to just really help students de-stress before "nals week.”

$is event was organized in hopes that students who missed their dogs at home could feel a bit better. $e idea behind the occasion was that petting the dogs decreas-es the heart rate and therefore brings down the stress level.

“$is is kicking o# our two-week de-stressing events. $is $ursday is Cabrini Night to Stop the Su#ering, which is our poetry concert, mental health story shar-ing event. And then all next week we have a

healthy food free bake sale, the take care fair where we’re making stress balls. We have an event on Wednesday night and $ursday night with a pajama party and arts and crafts events,” Suchy said.

All the dogs that participated in the event are up for adoption and in need of good families. Visit Mainline Animal Rescue at http://www.mlar.org for more details.

Last month on Saturday, March 23, a poster contest took place at the Beta Beta Beta (Tri-Beta) National Biological Honor Society Northeast District Two Convention at Lincoln University. 14 di#er-ent colleges were on hand for poster presentations. Each student who was presenting a poster were members of the honor society.

Rick Tumminello was Cabrini’s representative, and he took home "rst place in the contest. $e reason Tumminello was chosen for this contest was an undergrad-uate research award that he won from Tri-Beta. By receiv-ing the grant, he was required to attend the TriBeta meeting to present his research.

At the convention Rick pre-sented a poster- “$e e#ects of heat stress on DNA oxidation and damage in Eisenia hor-tensis.” $is was research that Rich has been doing for the last "ve semesters with Dr. Sheryl Fuller-Espie in the science department and also along with junior Tara Brennan.

“I feel very honored and blessed to have been recog-nized as the "rst place win-ner and I think it’s even more exciting that it is the "rst time that any student from Cabrini College has received any rec-ognition at these conventions,” Tumminello said. “I think it’s about time.”

At Cabrini, there is a great science department with many hard-working students who have great talent and will be moving forward in their life.

“I predict that more of these types of recognitions will be earned by Cabrini College stu-dents that work hard in the science department heading forward,” Tumminello said.

Since Tumminello was the "rst-place winner, he will be having all expenses paid next year to attend the National Tri-Beta Biennial Convention at Gannon University in Erie, Pa. Rick will be a graduate student attending Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine enrolled in their Biomedical Science masters program.

“$ere is a lot of talent in the science department, and I really encourage students to jump into science and get pas-sionate about it, instead of shy-ing away from it,” Tumminello said, parting words of wisdom to students. “It’s not as scary, I promise.”

Woodcrest mag braces for digital move

BY AMANDA CUNDARISta! Writer

$e Loquitur provides news to Cabrini College’s campus com-munity much like how the New York Times provides news to New York and across the nation. However, New York City’s publication is not limited to only news- they provide literary magazines such as the New Yorker.

Cabrini College will now have their own ‘New Yorker’ with the launch of the Woodcrest Magazine online.

“$e Woodcrest Magazine publication captures what you might imagine in a publication like the New Yorker or Rolling Stone,” Dr. Amy Persichetti, instructor of English, said.

$e Woodcrest Magazine originated as a print, and became a Columbia Scholastic Press Association Crown Award-winning pub-lication. $e online edition is meant to reach a wider audience as it adapts to our ever-changing digital age of advancements.

$e online edition will not be static, new material will be added every semester. Students outside the English Department are also welcome to submit work for consideration.

“$e Magazine is open to everyone on campus,” Persichetti said. “It is a lot like how the Loquitur publication belongs in the commu-nication department but everyone on campus participates in, reads, and gets excited about. We would like the Woodcrest Magazine to be the literary version of that.”

$e student-run initiative plans to launch the website in the fall.“$e Woodcrest Magazine website is something that the students

imagined, designed and populated with information,” Persichetti said. “I am really proud of the e#ort they put into it and encourage students even if they just dabble in poetry to send in their pieces.”

I would have to say that my favorite part of spring is Phillies baseball being back. It’s almost therapeutic.

Spring cleaning: Out with the old, and in with my passion

" is year my spring cleaning is # nding a new mindset when it comes to setting up my resume. I’m a communications major and environmental studies minor. For a communication major a dream come true internship includes one at a major network, newspaper or any other media organization.

At this ideal internship you would be assisting in

producing video, up-dating websites, writing their online content, editing, pitching stories etc.

All these things are great but I want more. When I say more I don’t mean perks or getting paid I mean I want my passion to be incorporated in my internship.

For the past month and a half I have been applying to internships for the summer. I’ve run across internships with Comcast to internships with “One Step Away” (Philadelphia newspaper for the homeless). I’ve applied for unpaid intern positions and paid positions. " e frenzy of looking for an internship is non-stop and the comfort of just having one is satisfying for some.

At some point I realized that I need more than just an internship. I need to look for an internship that means something personal to me It clicked over the past few weeks while I was applying for positions. I have to be excited about whatever I’m applying for.

I found myself applying to some internships that didn’t make my heart jump and that was my mistake. If I know the direction I want to go then I need to GO!

Sometimes you may not know what your passion is and or nothing may really excite you. " at’s understandable and to that I say apply to anything you think may interest you. " at’s what internships are for. " ey give you a chance to experience

real life work to see what your interest are.For me I know what direction I want to go in, non-pro# t organizations. I don’t

want to go to work every day and not positively impact someone by the work I’m doing. So interning at a huge company that makes millions of dollars is not really tugging at my heartstrings.

I had to really do some spring cleaning.I had to look at my resume and look at what I wanted to do

and ask if they matched up.I had all these skills listed but it didn’t really shed light on

what I was really passionate about. My resume didn’t say I would be a good candidate for a non-pro# t organization.

I had to clean up my resume so that it matched what I was really looking for. Usually when you do spring cleaning you take out things that once made you happy and things that once worked for you.

" ere comes a time where you have to reevaluate what still works for you professionally and what doesn’t. Not to say that all my past experiences are not important and that I can’t use them again. I just have to make sure my future experiences line up with my passions.

I’m now coming into my own. Realizing where and how I want to use my skills and what new things I want to learn. I know whatever work I do has to be apart of a bigger picture.

For me it’s like reaching a new level and there are de# nitely growing pains. Updating my resume is not the most fun # lled experience of my life but it’s necessary.

My spring cleaning is a little di& erent this year. I need to take out what I don’t need, focus on my passion and...GO!

CONTINUED , PAGE 1they broke the door down and took her to the E.R.“I was there for about 12 hours before they took me to an inpatient hospital,” Allaire

said. “!e second day I was there they told me I had bipolar disorder.”At the time, Allaire was only diagnosed as Bipolar II. !ose who have Bipolar II only

experience hypomania, not mania. Mania is described as a heightened state of mind, during which one "nds themselves having excessive energy, rapid speech, reckless spending, etc. Hypomania is a less severe version of mania.

“Most of the time I can’t even remember what happens in mania,” Allaire said. “It’s like a completely di#erent state, so I don’t even know half of the things that I did. And I don’t know if I’ll ever know.”

Bipolar disorder a#ects approximately 5.7 million Americans, or about 2.6% of the U.S. population, age 18 and older every year. As of now, there is no single cause for bipo-lar disorder.

“When I started experiencing the bipolar it was just so power-less,” Allaire said. “I guess the best way to describe it is that you’re just completely out of control.”

Although Allaire thought she would only be at the inpatient hospital for a few days, she ended up staying there for two weeks. “It was really hard for me, I would call my parents crying everyday; it’s a really scary place,” Allaire said.

Allaire went on to explain a few of the incidents she expe-rienced while staying there. She said that she woke up one night to a girl ripping her radiator out of the wall because she was angry. Another kid got really angry as well and decided to trash his entire room, which resulted in him breaking every bone on the left side of his body. Allaire said that she was “completely cut o# from society” while at the inpatient hospital.

“!ey would take away our privileges if one kid would act out,” Allaire said, “and they would always act out.”

It was at this time that Allaire entered into her only ever mixed state. A mixed state is where you cycle very rapidly between mania and depression. Allaire mentioned that at one moment she would be happy and excited and the next she would be crying for no reason. “!at’s what people usually think of when they think of bipolar disorder – which is so wrong because it’s actually really rare. Mixed states don’t usually happen.”

Research indicates that approximately three times as many women experience rapid cycling as men.

After the two weeks in inpatient care, Allaire went to an outpatient hospital for another two weeks. “We had to write our addictions up on the board and you put the days that you’ve been clean next to your addiction,” Allaire said. “!ere’s just something about having a big zero next to your name that’s like an extreme feeling of guilt mixed with sadness mixed with regret. And that’s the "rst time it every really hit me exactly what I was doing.”

After the four weeks at the inpatient and the outpatient hospitals, Allaire went back

to school and started looking at colleges to attend. Although her parents o#ered her the opportunity to take the year o#, Allaire thought that that would be a sign of failure.

“I just wanted to pretend that I was normal and that I didn’t actually attempt to kill myself and that that wasn’t something that happened,” Allaire said. “I put being normal in front of being mentally sane.”

Although Allaire started o# well at Cabrini, during the second semester of her fresh-man year she had a relapse. “Relapse is a part of the game, it’s just what happens,” Allaire said. “I just stopped taking my medication all together. And things just started getting worse, I wasn’t sleeping, I almost failed out of my calculus class. My GPA dropped from a 3.8 to a 2.7.”

After Allaire relapsed she went back to her psychiatrist and asked what could be done to help. Her psychiatrist recommended going on medication, but Allaire didn’t want to. “I’ve been on almost every single medication for anxiety, for depression, for bipolar at

this point,” Allaire said. “So when he would suggest something I’d say no.”

Eventually, her psychiatrist couldn’t help her anymore. “I kind of had this feeling of hope-lessness; like nobody can help me if he can’t help me,” Allaire said.

An estimated two-thirds of all young people with mental health problems are not receiving the help they need. According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, the annual economic, indirect cost of mental illness in the U.S. is estimated to be $79

billion.“And I just spiraled down,” Allaire said. “My parents were telling me that they didn’t

want me to come to Cabrini, that they wanted me to take a whole year o# just to clear my head.” After debating with her parents, they "nally let her come back to school as long as she started taking her medicine.

Since then, Allaire only had one minor relapse at the beginning of her sophomore year. “Right now in my life I think this is the time that I "nally have everything under control,” Allaire said. “!is is the "rst time that I feel like I can continue the rest of my life this way, hopefully with no relapse.”

Although Allaire didn’t enjoy everything she’s been through, she also doesn’t regret it. “It’s kind of funny because I don’t regret it at all and I’m actually really grateful for it because it’s completely changed my life for the better,” Allaire said. “I don’t think I’d be able to sit back and enjoy the little things without it having happened. I’m very grateful for everything that I’ve gone through which sounds weird, but I wouldn’t change it for anything. As much as you don’t want to say that mental illness is who you are, it actually is. It’s actually a big part of who you are and it changes everything, in good ways and in bad ways. It makes you who you are. Even if there’s no rhyme or reason for why you have it, you do and it shapes you. It’s okay to feel that way.”

Many events take place throughout our history that have a lasting impact on us all. !e story of Alexandra “Alex” Scott is one of many that has impacted us. Alex was a little girl from Pennsylvania who was diagnosed with neuroblastoma, a childhood cancer, at a young age.

Alex was told that if she ever survived her cancer she would never be able to walk again. Research shows that there is a 30-50 percent long-term survival rate of this type of cancer. Although the odds proved to be against Alex, she did not allow her eight years of life go to waste.

Alex’s parents describe her as “determined, courageous, con"dent, and inspiring. By the age of two Alex could crawl and stand up with walk-ers. But Alex’s tumors had returned to her the very next year.

Alex and her family knew that time was ticking but wanted to focus the energy elsewhere. In the year 2000 Alex, with the help of her brothers, opened her "rst lemonade stand in front of her house. Alex raised $2,000 that year for her hospital to go towards curing other children with cancer like her.

Alex’s life had so much impact on her family and those surrounding her. Her endurance and story melted the nation and Alex along with many others raised $1 million to "nd a cure for neuroblastoma.

!ere are many supporters of Alex’s Lemonade Stand donating for her cause. Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation is no stranger to the Cabrini College cam-pus. For seven years Cabrini has been raising money through events and fund-

raising to support Alex's Lemonade Stand.Carol Ann Porter, liberal studies major, was excited to talk about her thoughts

on this cause. “I think it’s a really awesome because it’s very inspirational and I’m glad we are continuing it,” Porter said.

!is year, during Athletes for Alex event, our athletes raised over $200 for Alex’s Lemonade Stand. Director of health and wellness education, Chris Hyson, looks forward to this moving annual event.

“Many years ago, health and wellness education partnered with dining ser-vices, the "tness center and other o%ces and created this as a campus tradition,” Hyson said.

Tuesday, April 16 in Cavs’ Corner, Cabrini hosted Alex’s Lemonade kick-o#. !e kick-o# featured lemon-inspired dishes as well as a lemonade stand with Alex’s famous lemonade.

Among students giving and support-ing the cause, biology major Angelica Little speaks on her new experiences with Alex’s Lemonade Stand. “Being in a bunch of community service pro-grams, doing lemonade is de"nitely something di#erent,” Little said.

“Of course there is a health edu-cation component to understanding

childhood cancers,” Hyson said, “and the impact on how it a#ects our society.” It isn’t about giving your money to a worthy cause; it’s about learning more about it and learning how to step up. Cabrini sells lemonade, t-shirts and even allows for you to donate $10 through text. All proceeds bene"t Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation. Alex took a chance, have you?

Have you ever been cheated on? What happens when you’re the cheater? Either way it’s an uncomfortable situation for both sides. No matter what, the relationship you had previously probably isn’t going to be the same. People mess up.

How do you de"ne cheating? Talking, sexting, &irting, hand-holding, hooking up? Honestly, cheating is the hardest thing to de"ne. But if I, the head feather, had to de"ne it, I would say if you have to hide it or sneak around, it is probably some form of cheating.

!e BIG question here is if you are cheated on or vice-versa, do you deserve a second chance? !is is another tough question because of all the circumstances that arise. However, if someone has the biggest heart ever and decides to try to give you a second chance, I have two words for you: PROVE IT.

You can’t just take the second chance and let it be as it was. You have to show that person that they are worth it. Be open, don’t lie, and don’t do anything that you wouldn’t want done to you.

I believe in your ability to change my &u#y featherheads, both of you, the cheater and victim in the relationship. If you cheated listen to what I have said above.

If you’ve been cheated on you also have to make a di#erent e#ort. I’m not going to tell you to obsessively check the other’s Facebook or Twitter because that’s a little crazy. You do have a right to be a little more cautious, but trust and talking is key.

Let me remind you of the old saying: dog bite me once, shame on the dog. Dog bite me twice, shame on me. A third time, I’m the fool. Be strong enough to walk away if you need to. Don’t allow yourself to get walked on.

I hope none of you have experienced this and are all smart enough to NOT CHEAT but it does happen. Listen to both of your sides, though, because some people just don’t deserve a second chance. Get to the bottom and if you feel like it is meant to be, then it’s meant to be.

We will meet again,

I am the Frisky Feather

A healthy outside starts from within. By making smart food and %tness choices, you can easily look and feel your best. We all know that we should eat healthy and be active, but sometimes this can be hard to do. Consider these strategies to stay happy and healthy.

30% Gym, 70% Diet:Abs are made in the kitchen, not in the gym.

Quick Facts:

ExerciseRegular exercise not only a$ects the way you look, but how you feel. Stress is an every day occurrence for most people, by exercising you can help eliminate some internal stress-ors.

Fruits and VeggiesFruits and vegetables should make up about half of each meal. Aim towards half fruit for breakfast and for lunch and dinner, half vegetables.

Pay AttentionBefore you give into snack foods make sure that you are re-ally hungry and not just bored. Watch the clock, when was the last time you ate? Hunger cycles occur approximately every 90 minutes. O&en thirst can be mistaken for hunger. Next time, drink a little water then wait to see if your hun-ger subsides.

Get dirtyPlanting a small garden can help encourage healthy eating habits. Eggplant, tomatoes, green beans, onions, peppers, cabbage and carrots are examples of vegetables you can plant. Keep in mind, the vitamin contents will be at their highest levels when eaten straight from the garden.

!e Lady Cavs fell to a 10-16 record after losing both games of a non-conference doubleheader to Widener University Tuesday, April 16.

!e "rst game started o# as a pitcher’s duel. !rough the "rst "ve innings of play neither team could break the score drought.

!e top of the sixth inning was the turning point for Widener as they had a break surge of six runs in the inning.

!e surge began with center"elder Alie Alkins getting hit by a pitch to lead o# the inning. She then advanced to second base on a sacri"ce bunt by pitcher Jackie Korang.

!en a double from Casey Hargadon scored Alkins. !is broke the scoring drought and opened the $ood gates as Widener put together a string of six consecutive hits scoring "ve additional runs in the inning.

!is iced the scoring for the game as Cabrini failed to get on the board. A dominating preformance from carried Widener as Korang pitched six innings only letting up four hits. Jamie Williams came in to relieve Korang in the seventh, pitching a scoreless bottom half.

As the second game of the double header started, the Cavs started o# the game scor-ing early in the "rst inning. Atzert started things o# with a double and later scored on an RBI single by Kaitlyn Cooper.

Widener struck back scoring three runs of their own in the following top half of the second inning. !ey then went on to score two more runs in the third giving them a 5-1 lead after just three innings.

!e score remained the same until the "fth inning. With two outs, the Cavs rallied as seniors Atzert and Taylor McGarvey drew

!e Cavs went on to score two more goals in the quarter widening the margin to 12.

!e Cavs kept the game scorless while tacking on "ve more goals in the third extending the lead to 17.

Tracking LAXCavs CSAC streak keeps goingBY NICHOLAS CIPOLLONEAsst. Sports Editor

Cabrini is back to CSAC play and back to dominating its con-ference. So far the Cavs have played three CSAC games this year and they have won by at least a margin of 20 or more

goals. !is past Saturday the Cavs dominated Marywood University with a score of 22-2.

In addition to winning their sixth game in a row, after losing to number one SUNY Cortland, this is also the Cavs 93rd con-secutive regular season win in the CSAC Conference.

As a team the Cavs have really come together in recent games getting contributions from underclassmen as well as upper classmen.

This past week senior Bobby !orp was named CSAC Lacrosse Players of the week leading the Cavs to a pair of wins last week.

In the Cavs game against Marywood, sophomore Mike Leyden scored a career high "ve goals on the day.

In addition, !orp, junior Corey Elmer, and sophomore Ethan Heisman all had hat tricks. Eight other Cavs scored showing the ability the Cavs have to spread the ball around and create scoring opportuni-ties in showing their versatility.

Freshman goal tender Chris Treat is getting starts and show-ing what he is capable of. With a record of 7-1, he is solid in between the post for the Cavs this season.

Not to be over looked but the Cavs defense has come together in the past six games. !e Cavs have not let up more than eight goals in any of the contests out-

scoring opponents 109-33 in these games.

!e Cavs are on a roll and now have a 9-3 record overall and 3-0 in the CSAC. Looking forward the Cavs have three more games left in the CSAC, two on the road and one at home then the CSAC playo#s start.

Their next game is this !ursday, April 18, at Neumann University at 4 p.m. who are still looking for their "rst win in the CSAC conference.

Lady Cavs unstoppable down stretchBY KEVIN DURSOSports Editor

!e Lady Cavs opened their season with "ve non-conference opponents. !ey lost all "ve games.

Since then, they are unde-feated - 8-0 overall, 7-0 in con-ference play. Simply put, the Lady Cavs cannot be stopped right now.

!e Lady Cavs aren’t just defeating teams by small mar-gins. !ey are dominating.

!e closest margin of victory for the Lady Cavs has been eight goals. !at was against Alvernia University, the only non-confer-ence opponent they have faced since the "ve-game losing streak to open the season.

Most recently, the Lady Cavs extended the winning streak to eight games with an 18-8 win over Immaculata on Tuesday, April 16.

!e Lady Cavs are now one win away from completing a sweep in CSAC play for the sec-ond straight season. !ey have already cruised to a "rst-round bye and home-"eld advantage in the CSAC Tournament. !at is always top priority for the Lady Cavs.

As they carry their winning

ways into the conclusion of the regular season, they have one game left on the schedule that could serve as a major mark-ing point on their improvement from the beginning of the sea-son.

!e College of New Jersey, among the top-ranked schools in women’s lacrosse every sea-son, is an annual match that the Lady Cavs schedule. !e game is not on the schedule to be won, but to gain valuable expe-rience. And in some cases, the Lady Cavs have been known to make things interesting in the challenge.

!is season could be one of those years. !e Lady Cavs cer-tainly possess scoring talent and strong defense. !ey competed well against other di&cult oppo-nents like Rowan, Ursinus and University of Scranton. Could this be the season the Lady Cavs grab a major upset?

!is highly-anticipated game couldn’t come at a better time in the schedule. As the regular-sea-son "nale, the Lady Cavs know their place in the upcoming CSAC Tournament. !ey have nothing more to play for there until the playo#s start.

So why not make a strong showing. !e Lady Cavs always

try to achieve that. But the determination level could be higher than ever in this game. !at might just make for an instant classic that the players and school won’t forget anytime soon.

With three games left, the Lady Cavs don’t need to prove anything more about this sea-son. But with a major upset,

there wouldn’t be much arguing the talent of this team.

Phillies early season struggles have familiar problem

At the heart of the Phillies’ 81-81 season, there was the late-inning struggles of the bullpen.

Any sport involves a lot of hindsight. What would have been if not for that ninth-inning meltdown?

!ey are questions that go unanswered.

In the early going of the 2013 season, the Phillies are once again struggling to move above the .500 mark.

Why? !e answer is famil-iar.

!e Phillies are 6-7 after 13 games in 2013. Two of the loss-es fall on Cole Hamels, who has struggled out of the gate. Two also fall on Roy Halladay.

And yes, the starting pitch-ing has not performed all that well either. But there is little or no relief from the bullpen, especially in the games where the starters have struggled.

Jeremy Horst has pitched in "ve games as a middle reliever. He is 0-1 and the Phillies have lost all "ve games in which he’s appeared. He has allowed six earned runs and four of "ve inherited baserunners to score as well.

Chad Durbin has been equally as terrible. He has allowed all seven inherited runners he has taken to score.

!e bullpen has not been an area of strength. !at can only hurt the Phillies at this point. As the old adage goes, you can’t win a pennant in April, but you can lose it.

Relief pitching will truly be the make or break aspect of the Phillies’ season. Make the pitches necessary and get out of the jams they are present-ed, and the Phillies can prob-ably perform on a level that may be good enough for the Postseason.

But if they don’t, they could be "nished before the season even gets into the dog days of summer. And that would mean another season of frustration for Phillies fans.

It wouldn’t be near the desired result but would be more than "tting for the Philly sports timeline of 2013.

Let’s all hope the bullpen gets it together.
