Terry Eckmann, Minot StateUniversity professor of teachereducation and human perform-ance, recentlyauthored andpublished herfirst book, “101Brain Boosters,”that covers a veryimportant, butrarely discussed,topic: brainhealth.

Eckmann contends thatlifestyle choices can have a posi-tive or negative effect on aging.While we still unfortunately don’thave control over aging, she saidwe still can stimulate and exerciseour brains to live longer and bet-ter.

Eckmann believes maintainingbrain health can be very beneficialand yield noticeable benefits.Among others, it can contribute tobetter focus and better sleep andlessen the chances of Alzheimer’sand dementia.

She said people can do littlethings that can make a positivedifference in maintaining andimproving better brain health.Just like muscles, the brain canalso be exercised; and if notregularly exercised, its effi-ciency might be affected.

In her book, Eckmannexplains how physical exer-cise, brain stimulation,stress management, spiritu-ality, socialization, learningstyle and nutrition playmajor roles in keeping thebrain healthy and effi-cient.

Many students nowplay video games.Surprisingly, Eckmann doesnot consider them all harmful tothe human brain. She thinks somestrategy video games actuallycontribute to brain stimulationand enhance its ability in strategicthinking. She warned that toomuch video gaming, however, canlead to isolation, Which can have anegative impact on brain health.Violent video games can also have

a negative effect.Watching too much television

can be a negative as well. Gettingup and doing activity every 15 to20 minutes can help keep thebrain more engaged.

ple measures can be taken to fightthis loss of privacy that we, the cit-izens of the United States ofAmerica, are presently suffering.The editorial by Froma Harrop

titled, “Online privacy is gone,”seems to argue that we can’t domuch about technology taking ourprivacy away, and it actuallyignores a few of the obvious stepswe can take to reclaim some of ourprivacy.Harrop mentions businesses

and the government spying on us

via our cell phones and computersas being relatively unavoidable.This is where I beg to differ.First of all, we can minimize

our use of cell phones and com-puters. Instead of using email andsocial media for everything, wecan occasionally write letters.For shopping, we can see what

companies still issue paper cata-logs, and use money orders toavoid directly giving out personalinformation on the Internet.As for online privacy, we can

use search engines that advertise acertain amount of confidentiality.Two examples of such searchengines arehttps://duckduckgo.com andhttps://www.startpage.com.I agree with Harrop when she

basically said that we can’t turnback the clock on technology orcompletely get away from its sur-veillance, but not doing what wecan to protect our privacy rightnow in this moment is somethingwe may be sorry for later. That is

why I think that we shouldn’t justaccept this new “Orwellian” wayof life we’re being introduced to.We must fight it on a personal

level with how we choose to com-municate, what information wechoose to give out and how weuse the Internet.While we can’t escape the New

World Order all in one shot, weshould do what we can with thetools we, the citizens, have athand to at least alleviate the prob-lem.

On MoviesʻThe Familyʼ

by Alex NelsonStaff Writer

There have been many mobsterfilms over the years, but I am notsure any of them were like thisone. “The Family,” directed byLuc Besson and produced byMartin Scorsese, stars RobertDeNiro, Michelle Pfeiffer, DiannaArgon, John D’Leo and TommyLee Jones. It has an “R” rating forviolence, strong language andbrief nudity.Former mob boss Giovanni

Maznoni (DeNiro) was once ontop of the world. However, due tosome unfortunate events, hesnitches on the mob and enters thewitness protection program along

with his family. They are underthe supervision of Stansfield(Jones) an FBI agent assigned tomake sure the family is safe and,more importantly, to make surethey don’t cause any trouble.Giovanni is now Fred Blake

and his family, which includes hiswife Maggie (Pfeiffer), daughterBelle (Argon), his son Warren(D’Leo) and the family dog, live ina small French town near theNormandy region. They are toldthey must be discreet and try notto draw attention to themselves.This is easier said than done asthis family is used to its crime-liketraditions. Soon enough, this littletown gets a piece of those tradi-tions.While they try to adjust to their

surroundings, those back homehaven’t forgiven Giovanni andwill make sure that he and his

family are dead. But assassins sentto take care of the job learn thisfamily is not to be messed with.I will admit I was not exactly

thrilled when I saw the movie’strailer, but a relative of minewished to see it with me. Afterviewing it, I believe it is actuallypretty good.The story unfolds in different

view-points from the family mem-bers as they all have their own setsof problems and situations. Thefather is trying to get used to lifewithout being a mob boss and hiswife is trying to be part of some-thing new and forget her old lifein America. Their children also tryto adjust to life in a school that hasdifferent customs than theirs,while they try to bring their ownskills and talents as childrenbrought up in the mob.“The Family,” to me, felt like a

dark comedy and not an actionfilm, though there are scenes inthe movie where people get beatup or injured. Near the end of thefilm, we do get a small shoot-outscene, but anyone who is a die-hard action fan might be disap-pointed.The acting was good. I thought

DeNiro and Pfeiffer really madethis movie interesting. I neverheard of D’Leo or Argon beforethis film. They actually do a goodjob as the teenagers. I did havesome problems, though, wonder-ing if this was supposed to be acomedy or a drama but, as stated,to me it felt like a dark comedy.I noticed that parts of this

movie take place in France, butmany of the French people areable to speak to the American fam-ily members in English. In oneparticular scene, DeNiro and

Jones attend a meeting of thetown’s French residents, wherethe host is speaking English asopposed to French. I guess makersof the film did this to make it eas-ier for the audience.The movie isn’t exactly perfect,

as some parts in it sound question-able or strange to me. Even theending (no spoiler), while it wasgood, left me with some unan-swered questions. While the plotand story-telling could have beenbetter the cast, in my opinion,helps make up for it.The movie isn’t as good as

“The Godfather,” but I did enjoy itfor what is was. I personally rate“The Family” 3 out of 5 Beavers.(P.S. Keep your eyes open for aDeNiro/Scorsese reference in themovie.)

are over. Being around friendswith a common goal or mutualfeelings creates a sense of unityand belonging that makes thosebad times seem a little less miser-able. MSU has gone through greatlengths to ensure an enrichingenvironment for students.

Sports events are a great way tolet off some steam. Getting togeth-er with friends, painting faces,blowing vuvuzelas, cheering,yelling, screaming and lettingloose are what make sports eventsso unique. Plus, a little schoolspirit never hurt anyone!

Minot State is an NCAADivision II institution with rough-ly 4,000 students enrolled. By thenumbers, the ratio of athletes tonon-athletes is remarkably higherthan other schools. As a Beaver, Ithink we should take pride in this,

and that’s not just because I am anathlete, although an injured one atthat. Remaining competitive at asmall school in Minot, N.D. of allplaces is no easy task.

It’s also a unique environmentin that athletes are just like anyother students, but with differentrecreational obligations. At otherschools, athletes stay among ath-letes. It’s almost like a hierarchy ofstudents where athletes sit ontheir high horse. Minot’s small-town feel breaks those barriers towhere students aren’t just cheer-ing on the athletic representativesof their school. They are cheeringon their friends.

Another way students shouldget involved is through campusevents. I understand some stu-dents just want to get off campussometimes, but going to on-cam-

pus events allows students tomeet fellow classmates and net-work. Creating relationshipsamong involved students allowsstudents to get the low-down on“off campus events” or makingplans for the weekend. Minot maynot offer much, but what is doesoffer is only made better withcompany. From a movie night to ahouse party, the culture MSU hascreated is truly special.

The MSU athletic departmentand MSU Life are just two organi-zations on campus that bring stu-dents together. As a fellow stu-dent, I understand college is noteasy, but no one ever said it wouldbe. Making mistakes is all part ofthe process, but my advice as asenior looking back at my time atMSU is GET INVOLVED. You’llnever regret it.

When Subway owner Troy Bartsch was just 22 years old, he got his first business loan from First Western Bank and Trust. “When I think back on it now, I wonder what bank would give a business loan to a 22 year old kid?” He smiles, “First Western did. They believed in me.” Today Troy owns 10 Subways in Minot and Bismarck and employs over 100 people.

this season,” head coach Travis Ward said.“Last year our main focus was just tryingto stay healthy. This year we have a groupof kids that really believe in what we aredoing. We have depth and that is going tohelp us tremendously moving forward.”In the first two matches, Minot State

rolled over the Dragons as the Beavers hit.273 and .276 compared to MSU-M hitting.128 and .094. The Beavers continued tolook strong in the third set, building a 23-19advantage. It was then that MSU-Moorhead turned things around and ral-lied six straight points to take set three 25-23.“We’ve been in the situation before,”

senior outside hitter Jen Dixon said.“We’ve been up and should’ve been win-ning in three sets; we’ve taken it to fivesets. We learn from it, we stay calm, westay focused and we knew we could get the

job done.” The Dragons took another close set in

the fourth despite hitting just .089 on 45attempts from the floor. Minot State com-mitted a match-high seven errors in setfour to keep MSU-M out of reach.In the decisive fifth set, the balanced

attack of Dixon, Mallory Sall and LaurenDunkle, who each had three kills in set five,allowed the Beavers to prevail.For the match, Dixon led MISU with 19

kills while Dunkle and Sall had 16 killsapiece. Setter Emily Byrne dished out aseason-high 55 assists in the win.“They left the deep corner open for me,”

Dixon said. “I was constantly aiming forhands and I just kept trying to keep it inplay. It worked out well and it got me abunch of kills. Our whole offense really dida good job. They left some open areas andwe were able to find them.” Defensively for Minot State, five differ-

ent players recorded double-digit digs, ledby freshman Alexis Boutin. Dixon also had20 digs, making her one kill shy of her firstcareer 20-20 game. The Beavers also record-ed four solo blocks and an impressive 20assisted blocks, the most blocks in a matchsince 2009.The Beavers traveled to Aberdeen S.D.

The Minot State University men’s hock-ey team moved to 4-0 on the season after asweep of Briercrest in the two-weekendseries. The Beavers sealed the sweep in thefinal game of the series Saturday with acomfortable 4-0 victory in front of a homecrowd at the Maysa Arena. Minot got thewin in the home opener Friday night witha 2-0 win.Friday night’s triumph came as some-

what of a shocker after both teams com-bined for 21 goals the previous weekendwith MSU’s 9-4 and 6-2 victories inBriercrest.“You know, it wasn’t our best game,”

junior captain Michael Jordan said, “butwe found a way to win. It builds a lot ofcharacter for us.”The first goal of Friday night’s game

didn’t come until seven minutes into thethird period when Jordan found the net ona low cross-net shot that found its waypast the Briercrest goalie. Junior LoganHerauf and senior Jared McIntosh talliedassists.Junior transfer Chasen Dobranski gave

the Beavers a little bit of insurance withthe second goal of the match with justunder three minutes left in the game.Junior transfer Dwight Lee got the assist.Dobranski and Lee played together previ-ously for the Williston State Tetons, so thechemistry of these line mates has beenlong in the making.“I owe a lot of credit to my line mate,

Dwight Lee,” Dobranski said. “He’s assist-ed all my goals so far. Without him, I’m

not putting pucks in the back of the net, soa lot of credit goes to him and the rest ofthe guys on my team.”Saturday’s 4-0 win that sealed the

sweep started out slow as well with thefirst score coming with six minutes left inthe second period. Herauf netted the goalwith Jordan on the assist. Two more goalstallied within the next two minutesincreased the Beavers’ lead to 3-0 headinginto the third period. Sophomore BobPond scored his first home goal and sec-ond goal in his career as a Beaver, assistedby sophomore Will Kinsman.“I hope this is the start of something

good this year,” Pond said of his early-sea-son goal.McIntosh scored with a little more than

1:30 left in the second period. Jordan andjunior Brad Olynyk tallied assists.Kinsman got a goal of his own seven

minutes into the third period giving Minota 4-0 lead, which is where the game ended.Freshman Alex Murray-Landry was cred-ited with the assist.“We definitely have some talent,” head

coach Wade Regier said, “but [this series]shows us we still have a lot of work to do.”The Beavers have an off week for

Homecoming festivities, but are back inhome action Friday, Oct. 4, against CentralOklahoma. UCO is ranked 14th in theACHA. The Beavers knocked them out ofcontention for the national title last year.The puck drops at 7:30 p.m. at the Maysa. For more information about the team
