Like most college athletes, determination and winning are the name of any game. But unlike most athletes, the balance between fighting a disease and fighting to win have become part of the game for one Flagler cross country runner.
Ryan MacManus has found himself competing on two fronts ever since being diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease.
Crohn’s Disease is a lifelong inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Parts of the digestive tract get swollen and have deep sores called ulcers. Painful abdominal cramps, fatigue and fever are common symptoms.

For those fans of “Fight Club,” author Chuck Palahniuk wrote another book that will keep anyone on the edge of their seat.
“Invisible Monster” features Palahniuk’s use of self-destructive characters like many of his other novels, but this novel has a slightly different twist.
With the same vivid imagination, Palahniuk takes readers on a ride with more twists, turns and mutilation than Fight Club or his other stories.
The story begins with a beautiful fashion model that has everything a girl could ever want. Shortly thereafter, however, she gets in an accident on the highway that blows off half of her jaw.
The young beauty’s bad luck doesn’t end there. Her fiancé leaves her for her best friend.
I’ve been feeling a little Flagler nostalgia lately.
Maybe it was the fact that basketball season is around the corner and I’m not getting ready to be on the radio for the first time in a long time.

The Flagler College Art and Design Department is holding its first faculty art show at the Crisp-Ellert Art Museum through Oct. 24.
The show is open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. while classes are in session.
“Part of the role of the museum is to serve as a teaching tool to expose the students to what the teachers are working on,” Sarah J. Kelly, the show’s director, said.
“It would be a great idea to continue the show yearly,” she said.
The works of 14 art and design faculty members give the museum’s white walls a voice and a face of expression.
Ninth year painting, drawing, senior portfolio and Art 101 professor Patrick Moser submitted oil on canvas piece, “American Unicorn.”
“I was largely influenced by a fairly famous Western painter named Frederick Remington,” Moser said.
“His work explored the notions of American mythology in the west,” he said.
Consider the panic button pushed.
After watching my Cowboys be taken to the woodshed by the Arizona Cardinals last Sunday, I was discouraged, to say the least. This Cowboys team was supposed to make teams like the Cardinals and Bengals look like they belonged somewhere between the Arena League and the XFL. What had happened?

David Matulewicz, sophomore and a vice president of the Political Guild, doesn’t believe the popular myth about apathy in the college-age voting demographic.
With many students attending recent political events like Rock the Vote on the West Lawn and the vice presidential debate in the Ringhaver Student Center, students at Flagler College show that they care about the political issues and plan to use their voices in the upcoming election.
According to Matulewicz, many students from Flagler are active in political campaigns around town.
The Democratic headquarters in St. Johns County has more for students to help with, but the Republication group enlists the help of Flagler students as well.
