Next week, Veteran’s Day will be observed on Friday, Nov. 10. This means the school will be closed, and there are multiple events scheduled at all the different Sinclair campuses to

Veteran Services Manager Becky Jones and Veteran Services Specialist Emily Demeter plan these events every year, and will be attending different events during the week.
A luncheon will be held on
Thursday, Nov. 9 at noon in the Tartan Terrace restaurant. Tartan Terrace is located on the fourth
floor of building 13. The cost will
be $5 per person, with one guest per veteran allowed. Credit cards are the only form of payment accepted.
“The event I look forward to

the most is the Tartan Terrace Luncheon,” Jones said. “This gives us a chance to meet and get to know some of the veterans here, and it also gives the Culinary Arts department a chance to showcase what they do and what they have learned.”

Sinclair hosts opioid epidemic event
Will Drewing
Managing Editor
America’s opioid epidemic is the topic of discussion for speakers including Mayor Nan Whaley, Sheriff Phil Plummer, and Barry Meier of the New York Times, at the November 2 and 3 event at Sinclair’s building 12.
Sinclair Community College is collaborating with Antioch University and ThinkTV to facilitate the two-day discussion about the epidemic that has so drastically affected the nation, state, city and the lives of many people.
Starting at 9 a.m. on Thursday, Nov. 2, the event begins with a
keynote presentation from N.Y. Times journalist and Pulitzer Prize winning writer Barry Meier. Meier began reporting about the opioid crisis in 2001 and has written a book called “Pain Killer: A ‘Wonder’ Drug’s Trail of Addiction and Death” which was published in 2003.
The event includes a screening of the Tribeca Film Festival premiered “1000 Junkies,” directed by Tommy Swerdlow, who is known for writing the screenplays of the movies
“Cool Running” and “Snow Dogs.” Swerdlow himself is a recoverer of a two-decade long battle with addiction. The event includes panel discussions
with community experts, local
policy makers, first responders and caregivers. The panels include Sinclair alumni Will McChesney, Prison Education Program Director Cheryl Taylor, Dayton Mayor Nan Whaley and Montgomery County Sheriff Phil Plummer.
Thursday’s activities end at 5
p.m. and resume on Friday at 10
a.m. Among the speakers and panel discussions the event will also include Narcan training and a Master Class called “Storytelling and Democracy: Creating Positive Change,” led by award winning directors Peter Werner and Stuart Sender.
Newspaper layout was as much fun as it was challenging. Waiting for the journalistic staff to complete their stories when often not knowing how many words the stories were, then having to fit everything in the most aesthetic manner was often the case. My team and I sharpened our ability to ask the right questions, offer professional suggestions and maintain a positive relationship with the editorial staff.
