Weeks before Thanksgiving break, several car break-ins and vandalism cases occurred on campus. Windows shattered, valuables stolen and no one yet caught for these acts continue to pose worry for students.

If Cherith Jones were passed on the highway, no one would think anything different of her Chevy truck. Few know it  has a Canadian lift system, which is necessary to boost her wheel chair from the ground into the driver’s position.
