Associate  Professor  of  Economics  Charles  Steele  selected  the  best  essays  from  students  in  his  class,  History  of  Economic  Thought  I.  The  papers  were  then  read  by  an  independent  panel  of  judges  who  selected  Loxton  and  Wierengaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  papers.  Unfortunately,  however,  the  department  found  out  that,  according  to  APEE  rules,  students  have  to  21  years  old  to  attend.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;All  hotels  in  Las  Vegas  are  casinos  and  require  all  minors  to  be Â

City  begins  annual  month-­long  deer  culling Casey Harper Collegian Freelancer For  10  local  hunters,  deer  hunting  season  is  different  this  year.

The  City  of  Hillsdale  has  recruited  these  hunters  in  its  third  annual  deer  cull,  an  effort  to  cut  down  on  the  local  deer  population.  The  hunters  have  the  whole  month  of  February  to  shoot  deer  in  designated  areas  on  the  outskirts  of  town.  The  meat  â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;  thousands  of  pounds  of  venison  â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;  will  then  be  donated  to  local  food  pantries,  said  Chris  Gutowski,  Hillsdaleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  director  of Â

public  safety.

Citizens  have  been  com-­ plaining  about  Hillsdaleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  deer  problem  for  years,  especially  because  of  property  damage  and  the  danger  of  car  accidents.

For  the  second  consecutive  year,  the  city  received  a  grant  for  up  to  $5000  from  the  Hillsdale  County  Community  Foundation  to  process  the  deer.

The  cull  provided  3300  pounds  of  venison  to  local  food  banks  last  year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The  venison  has  been  a  huge  blessing,â&#x20AC;?  said  Amanda  Shroats,  director  of  the  food  pantry  at Â

Hillsdale  Assembly  of  God.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  been  harder  to  feed  everyone  coming  in  because  food  prices  are  going  up  so  it  takes  more  do-­ nations  to  feed  the  same  amount  of  people.  In  addition,  weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  seeing  more  and  more  families  coming  in  so  thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  less  avail-­ able  for  them.â&#x20AC;?

Flowers-­Mapes  gives  free  health  advice  to  Hillsdalians  at  the  Natural  Grocery  every  month.  She  works  at  the  Coldwater  Chiropractic  and  Wellness  Center.

Do  a  lot  of  people  come  in  for  health  ad-­ vice?

Quite  a  few.  They  tell  people  when  Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m  going  to  be  there  and  people  come  in  and  ask  me.  If  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  too  complicated,  I  tell  people  to  make  an  appointment,  but  most  of  the  time  I  give  them  a  couple  things  to  try.

How  did  you  get  involved  in  natural  medi-­ cine?

I  had  a  health  issue  myself  that  I  had  exhaust-­ ed  all  my  natural  resources  [for]  when  I  was  18  years  old,  and  somebody  referred  me  to  a  naturo-­ pathic  doctor  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  who  I  actually  worked  for  [for]  17  years  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  and  she  had  me  straightened  around  in  six  months.  So  I  decided  to  go  to  school  for  natural  medicine  and  started  working  for  her. :KDW KDYH \RX IRXQG WR EH WKH EHQHÂżWV RI natural  medicine  over  mainstream  practices?

Natural  medicine  actually  balances  your  body  out  and  heals  your  problems  on  a  slow  basis. Â

With  traditional  medicine,  all  the  drugs  are  either  inhibitors  or  blockers  â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x201C;  they  tend  to  mask  the  problem,  where  herbs  actually  heal  it.  Herbs  have  been  around  for  thousands  of  years.  Half  of  all  drugs  are  taken  off  the  market  in  10  years  because  they  are  deemed  unsafe.

Have  you  seen  a  lot  of  people  turning  to  natural  medicine  locally?

When  I  was  working  for  Dolores  Spence,  75  percent  of  our  clientele  was  from  out  of  town,  and  only  25  percent  were  from  Hillsdale.  [But]  when  I  started  working  for  Dolores  in  â&#x20AC;&#x2122;92,  most  of  the  people  that  we  saw  were  on  their  last  hope.  They  had  exhausted  all  their  medical  resources  and  then  turned  to  natural  health.  So  by  the  time  we  got  people  they  were  in  pretty  bad  shape.  Where  now  things  have  totally  turned.  About  RU VR SHRSOH VWDUWHG FRPLQJ WKHUH ÂżUVW DQG using  natural  health  as  a  preventative.

Do  you  see  people  treating  really  serious  diseases  naturally?

I  have  helped  people  get  rid  of  tumors  the  size  of  softballs  without  any  drugs.  [But]  people  have  to  be  very  dedicated.  They  have  to  completely  change  their  diet,  and  they  are  taking  [herbal]  pills  every  two  or  three  hours.  They  have  to  pretty  much  go  on  a  raw  food  diet.  It  is  not  for  the  faint  of  heart.

According  to  Charney,  the  win  over  Northwood  was  big  because  a  lot  of  other  league  contenders  lost  crucial  games  on  Saturday.  There  will  most  likely  be  three  or  four  teams  from  the  middle  of  the  South  Division  vy-­ ing  for  two  spots  in  the  playoffs.

0\ FDPHUD GRHV QRW WDNH QLFH SKRWRV Just  like  a  stove  does  not  make  good  food,  a  good  camera  does  not  take  beautiful  photographs.  After  a  delicious  meal,  dinner  guests  do  not  compliment  the  cook  on  the  quality  of  her  stove  and  the  meal  it  made.  Praise  for  a  beautiful  photo-­ graph  should  not  be  heaped  upon  the  instrument.

A  better  camera  does  not  make  a  better  photographer.  Someone  with  an  eye  for  composition  and  a  talent  for  expres-­ sion  through  this  medium  can  take  a  beautiful  photograph  with  a  disposable  camera.  Similarly,  thousands  of  dollars  of  equipment  does  not  necessarily  give  value  to  a  photograph.

There  is  no  denying  that  high-­quality  equipment  is  help-­ ful.  Professional  lenses  and  camera  bodies  are  tools  to  use,  just  as  a  paintbrush  or  expensive  paint  serves  an  artist  in  his  craft.  Photographers  always  desire  the  best  equipment,  not  to  LPSURYH WKHLU WDOHQW EXW WR LPSURYH WKH TXDOLW\ RI WKHLU ¿QDO piece  of  work.

People  donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  hire  a  photographer  for  quality  equipment,  but  for  his  or  her  eye  and  unique  view  of  the  world.  As  a  wedding  and  portrait  photographer,  I  do  not  advertise  what  is  in  my  camera  bag.  No  one  cares  what  lens  I  use.  What  is  captured  through  the  lens  is  what  really  matters.

A  photographer  is  not  a  camera.  A  photographer  is  a  set  of  eyes,  a  mind,  and  a  heart  that  sees  the  world  in  a  unique  way.  The  goal  of  every  photographer  is  to  present  his  or  her  vision  in  a  compelling  and  profound  way.  It  doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  matter  how  many  paychecks  I  spend  on  a  camera.  Photographs  are  not  beautiful  because  of  the  camera  brand  but  because  of  the  soul  capturing  them.

So  next  time  you  see  work  by  a  photographer  that  you  really  admire,  donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  turn  and  complement  the  photographerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  camera.

It  canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  hear  you.                             sodell@hillsdale.edu
