>>BPA conferenceOn Wednesday, the Business Pro-
fessionals of America (BPA) will travel to their annual fall delegate conference to be held this year in Lawrence at the University of Kansas. BPA members from all across the state will gather to participate in leadership training, theelectionofnewstateofficersandto vote on the new state pin. Junior Megan Regier submitted a proposal for the state pin, which will be traded at nationals.
BPA adviser Melinda Rangel said the fall conference is not as well at-tended as the state conference, but there will still be approximately 150 students there. Out of the 10 people runningforstateoffice,twoofthemare NHS students. Juniors Ashlynn Hamm and Colton Aarstad will each give a presentation, and Hamm said she will give one presentation in pre-pared speech and she and Aarstad will give a presentation together as well.
“I hope to do well. I’ve done fairly well with that event in the last two years,” Hamm said. “Once we get the
research paper written, I think we can do fairly well in that too.”
Both Rangel and Hamm are antici-pating BPA this year.
“I’m excited. I’m a little nervous, because I choked at nationals last time, so I don’t want that to happen again,” Hamm said. “I’m ready to win again and redeem myself, plus I just like talking to people like that and giving presentations.”
This year, there are 76 members participating in BPA. Rangel said this is the most the club has ever had, and the numbers continue to increase every year.
“I like BPA,” Hamm said. “It’s one of those things where I have the chance to meet people I wouldn’t have known otherwise.”
“I’mreallyexcitedaboutourofficerteam.Wehaveagreatofficerteam,”Rangel said. “We have a lot of great kids, and I think we’re going to do very well.”
‘Seussical’ cast, crew spend 5,366 hours preparingAlySSA GAEdEreporter
This year the drama depart-ment is putting on “Seussical the Musical” for its fall production. The musical is showing Nov. 16 and 17 at 7:30 p.m. and a matinee on Nov. 18 at 2:30 p.m. Ticket prices are $8 for adults and $5 for students.
“Seussical the Musical” brings to life many popular Dr. Seuss characters, including Hor-
ton the Elephant and The Cat in the Hat, who take the viewers on a journey from the Jungle of Nool to the Circus McGurkus to the invisible world of the Whos.
The production has taken 5,366 hours so far, this includes costume and set design along withrehearsals,andthefirstperformance is still a month away. For Director Cassandra Conley this is her favorite part.
“The creative process has always been my favorite part. I have been enjoying all the dif-ferent set and costume designs,” Conley said.
Junior Kate Jolliff,who will be playing Gertrude McFluff, enjoys the learning experiences of the musical.
“ [My favorite part] is going to the rehearsals,” Jolliff said. “I love learning the dances and
songs and just being on stage.”Conley said her biggest hope
for the show is that the audience and cast enjoy themselves and that no big mistakes are made.
“I really hope that everyone is able to have a good time while they watch, but most impor-tantlyIhopenoonefallsflatontheir face,” Conley said.

Lunch regulations get mixed reviewsconner mitchellnews editor
The Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 (HHFKA) was signed into law by President Barack Obama with the goal of re-ducing childhood obesity and improving the overall health of children across the country.
According to the official White House website, as part of the HHFKA, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has the authority to set nutritional stan-dards for all foods regularly sold in schools during the school day, including vending machines and a la carte.
As a main stipulation of the new regula-tions, schools must increase the availability of fruits, vegetables and whole grains while reducing levels of sodium, saturated fat and trans fat in meals. Vegetables are to be offered daily at lunch, while limiting the quantity of vegetables containing starch,
such as potatoes.However, these new guidelines have
not been met without criticism. Argu-ments have been made that the number of calories a student can consume at lunch was reduced too much, and the quantity of food given at lunch is not enough to carry students through the school day.
USD 373 Director of Food Service Elaine Gaeddert said the new regulations have the possibility of accomplishing their goal of reducing childhood obesity.
“I feel that healthy eating habits can have a big impact on child obesity, and my hope is that the students will continue with these habits at home as well,” she said in an e-mail interview.
Another complaint of HHFKA has been that students are hungry even after finish-ing lunch. Gaeddert confirmed she had been presented with these complaints.
“I have received complaints about chil-
dren being hungry, but that was due to the fact that students were not taking all the food components offered,” she said. “Now, a majority of the students are taking more of the food components, leaving them more satisfied.”
Principal Ken Rickard said he hopes HH-FKA will have a positive long term impact .
“I really hope that following these new food regulations over a period of time will pay positive dividends for our students and staff members who utilize our cafeteria,” he said. “Change is never easy, especially for young folks, but hopefully these changes will be beneficial to our students and staff.”
“My hope is that students will continue with these [new] habits at home as well.”Director of Food Service Elaine Gaeddert

Interact Club to host Fun Run dylan mooRebusiness manager
Rotary Interact Club will host a fun run Nov. 3 Centen-nial Park. This is a Hallow-een themed walk, jog, run, which is officially named the Monster Mash Fun Run. The registration fee is $20 for adults and $15 for children ages 12 and under.
The deadline to guarantee a t-shirt was Oct. 15, but par-ticipants are still encouraged to register. The event begins at 9 a.m., however, check-in is from 8-8:45 a.m. for those who have already registered. Those who are interested can see English teacher and Inter-act club sponsor Janel Harms.
“[The purpose of the event is] to raise money for com-munity service projects we will do throughout the year,” Harms said.
These projects include Princess Closet, letters to military personnel and school supplies for Cooper Early Education Center. Another purpose of this event is to help people stay fit and to try and get the club out and working with the community.
“We are putting this on to promote the club as well as keep people healthy,” senior Steven Gong, treasurer of Interact Club, said
Participants are invited to wear their appropriate Hal-loween costumes. Awards will be given in several dif-ferent costume categories and there will also be awards given to the top racers.

Newton has always been a very diverse community filled to the brim with its own unique culture and traditions. One of these traditions, Dia de los Muer-tos, will receive special recogni-tion during the weekend of Nov. 1 –3.
To kick start the festivities, there will be a parade preparation event at 4 p.m. at Themian Park (on the corner of Poplar and Eighth Street) followed by the parade on Main Street at approximately 6 p.m. After the parade, there will be vigil service at Our Lady of Guadalupe Catho-lic Church, 421 S. Ash St., at 7 p.m.
The idea for the parade was originally brainstormed by a Bethel College sociology class that felt the celebration would increase community awareness of the holiday. Al-though Dia de los Muertos, otherwise known as the Day of the Dead, has characteristics
similar to Halloween, the celebration has a much deeper meaning to many students in the Newton School District.
“My family always gathers at Our Lady for mass. My mom tears up when she
remembers her uncle and my grandma’s passing,” Santa
Fe Middle School sixth grader Maria Aboite said.
Aboite’s family has consistently played an
active role in planning the event at her church and her
mother’s restaurant, Mi Ranchito, ever since moving to
the United States from Juarez, Mexico.
The traditional Mexican celebration
combines several Aztec customs with All Soul’s day, a cultural influence that originated during the occupation of Span-ish invaders in the early 1500’s. The holiday is commonly celebrated by erecting altars to honor deceased ancestors. It is similar yet distinct from the American tradition of
Memorial Day. Many families gather to eat, sing, share stories and decorate the grave sites of loved ones.
As the day of the dead edges nearer, many students at NHS are immersing themselves in the action. Spanish Club has continued to encourage the participation of students in the parade.
“I think it’s a good way to interact with the community… I remember in middle school we would paint our faces to celebrate. It was really fun,” freshman Spanish Club member Ashleigh Pulaski said.
Whether one has experience with Dia de los Muertos or is just learning of the holiday, the parade aims to bring some credit to the tradition. The decorative skulls, bowls and memorials are a great testament to the time-honored diffusion of cultures that many Newtonians cherish.
“[This will be important] by raising awareness of Spanish culture in our commu-nity and how much Spanish-Americans do for our community,” Spanish Club Sponsor Evelyn Gregg.

As the new regulations are put into affect, students will have larger serv-ings of fruits and vegetables and must take at least one or the other, students will be given fat-free or 1% milk, and less sodium and very few trans fats will be
served. The most dramatic change is that high school lunches can contain no more than 850 calories.
The government passed the law in hopes that serving better quality food
and less calories would over time reduce the child obesity rate, since one in three children are now considered obese.
Even though the government now has control over what is put on our plate during one meal of the day, they can’t force us to eat what
we are given, and they still can’t control the
other two meals that we eat each day. The Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act
(HHFKA) is not the solution to child-hood obesity. Serving less calories presents a problem for kids involved in sports who often burn more than 850 calories at practice. This is also hurting kids living in poverty, who have no food at home and are now getting less food at school.
Perhaps a better way to target the obesity problem would be to better educate kids in P.E. and science classes on how the food they eat will affect them. After gaining a proper knowledge, kids must make the decision on their own to eat better.
Until kids start to take responsibility, the obesity problem can-not be fixed.
Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act>>Obesity problem cannot be fixed by new government policy
We asked you about the HHFK policy
I think it’s a good thing. It’s good for us to be healthy, but we should be able to make our own decisions over what we eat.

What do you think? Q&AHow has HHFKA affected lunches at NHS?“We have more fresh fruit and vegetables, more whole grain breads, and slightly less calories per meal. There are also more subgroups. For example, we have to have a certain amount of green leafy vegetables, red vegetables and orange vegetables.”
Has it been difficult to work around the policy and still get good lunches?“It’s been very difficult. Kids tend to not eat the fresh vegetables, but we have to put them on the menu to meet regulations. Other than that, everything is just the same. The main challenge is basically just meeting the vegetable requirements.
How do you feel about the new policy?“I don’t fully agree with all of the regulations, but I do believe that it is in the best interest of the students.”
Do you think it will be effective change?“Yes, I think it will be effective in the long run.”

Near Christmas in 2010, me and my family went to Nairobi, Kenya, to visit my then 16-year-old brother who had decided to leave Sweden for a year to go live in Africa. We went on a safari to see wild animals barely a foot away from our car, and we visited the slum, Kibera, and the dirty little children wanting to shake our clean hands to see if our white skin felt any different from theirs. I was 14 years old, and I quickly decided that I wanted to come back again, that I wanted to do what my brother had done.
One year ago, I got a bro-chure in the mail from a Swedish organization called STS (Stu-dent Travel Schools). My mom and I sat down, read it, and just jokingly imagined how cool it would be to live in the USA for 10 months, and then we just sud-denly decided that that’s what I was gonna do. I told my dad when he came home from work that same night, and we all discussed it with my two brothers, especially Kasper, who had come home from his year in Africa just a couple of months earlier. We talked about the fact that I was going to have something of my own, something different instead of doing what he had done. I was going to live with a different family while he lived at his school, and I would improve my English while his school had been a Swedish school.
I had to pass a test and an interview before they could start bouncing my name back and forth over the ocean. For some reason I was nervous, and I remember sitting on a bench in freezing Gothenburg, listening to music by my favorite singer and trying to gain courage enough to go in there. I was there for 1.5 hours,
speaking English with a girl that would understand me just as well if I spoke Swedish. It felt stupid, but I made it. Later that year I was sent an email from my new, American organization, and that is when I got really busy filling out paperwork, signing agree-ments and going to the hospital for shots, health controls and blood tests. My principal had to translate my grades, my English teacher had to interview and evaluate me, and my other teach-ers had to write letters about what a good student I was.
Then I just had to wait. Some days felt longer than others, but I thought about my host family without know-ing
who they were going to be 24/7. I started to get my hopes up in March when I heard about other exchange students getting placed, but I’d have to impatiently wait for another four months before hearing from my Program Coordi-
nator for the first time. She added me on Facebook, and I’ve never felt my heart beat as hard as it did that morning when I woke up to her friend request. A few hours later I received the first email ever from my host family: the family that I got to know during those
two weeks before I left Sweden, that sister that I now play
fight with and get annoyed with constantly. Now, ten weeks and four days later, I know that we’re almost always out of milk, that my host mom always says
“huh?” after a ques-
tion was answered
but that that doesn’t
mean that you have
to answer it again, and that
there are still papers from my ap-
plication laying on the living room
table.Some-
times we all just miss home, but I wouldn’t trade this
year for any-thing. I
will always be back home again, I
will see my friends and fam-ily almost way too soon and I will
breathe fresh, cold Swedish air, but even though I’ll come back to visit Newton and Kansas, it will never be the same thing. I only have this year, so I’ll enjoy it the best that I possibly can.

Around this time of the year, poli-
tics are a hot topic among United States citizens. Unfortunately, this includes people under the age of 25. There is nothing more frustrating than listening to highly uneducated fifteen-year-olds banter on and on about political topics which they don’t understand in the least.
The worst part is, ninety percent of the time teenag-ers don’t know what they’re talking about, nor do they have the evidence to back anything up. They listen to their parents discuss politics at the dinner table and use what they say as arguments against other students.
A typical example of a po-litical debate between high school students might sound something like this:
Student A: “Mitt Romney can’t make a good president if he wants to eliminate Obama-care.”
Student B: “Well presi-dent Obama increased the national debt.”
They’re just talking points, people. Teenagers might make valid points here and there, but they don’t have nearly enough facts to back up their ideas and have a healthy debate. They are all over the place with their ideals and hardly ever take the time to think about what the other side might say as a rebuttal. Therefore, the
arguments make no sense. It turns into a battle of ideas. A response to someone’s argument about abortion might be a comment about the debt ceiling. It’s annoy-ing, immature and laughably irresponsible.
The point is, keep your political opinions to yourself. It prevents embarrassment and gives fellow students the opportunity to not hate you. Sometimes I find myself doing the exact opposite of what my advice states. I jump into a political argu-ment on the bus ride to a cross country meet, when all of a sudden someone makes point of which I have no evidence to fight against it with.
I know there are ways to argue what they have said, but I am not educated enough to say anything that makes sense, whereas some-one like my parents, who have lived long enough and have voted enough times to have valid opinions would know how to give a good rebuttal.
High school girls should stick to talking about uni-corns and manicures and high school boys should be talking about sports and violence like we are used to. Save politics for the grown-ups.
Despite who wins this election, it’s going to make little to no difference to us students. Save fellow classmates the frustration and anger, and use some common sense before you blurt out some complete nonsense.

conner mitchellnews editor
Barack Obama must win the 2012 presi-dential election. It is crucial to the future of the nation that he emerges victorious on Nov. 6 and not Mitt Romney. Governor Romney is not ready to handle the responsi-bilities that come with being the leader of the United States. He has no idea what awaits him in handling foreign policy, commanding the military or even repairing the economy.
Romney has held one political office in his career as the governor of Massachusetts from 2003-2007. As governor, Romney was considered by his peers and constituents to be a very moderate Republican. However, he has changed his morals and policies so often since, it is impossible to know what he truly stands for now.
President Obama has dealt with the divided, partisan Congress for the last three and a half years. He understands what he can and can’t accomplish with the Congress in place. Romney has no experience deal-ing with the Congress in place, and with his ever-changing policy viewpoints, it will be challenging for him to accomplish anything. The biggest criticism of President Obama has been his handling of the economy. However, his critics overlook the fact that no president, no matter how many years of political or business experience they might have had, could have fixed the situation President Obama inherited.
Slowly, but surely, the economy is on the mend. Unemployment is at its lowest point point since 2009. Home foreclosures are at a five-year low. The Dow Jones Industrial Average, an es-sential stock market indicator, recently closed at its highest point in more than four years. No matter how much Romney and the conservative media may deny it, the economy is getting bet-ter.
Governor Romney is not ready to be presi-dent. His constant changes in his politi-cal view-points to please constituents will not be acceptable in Washington. Being a wealthy businessman does not qualify Romney to hold the office of the presi-dent. The United States must stick with the man they chose in 2008, and re-elect Barack Obama to finish the job he started.
kylie micksports editor
After four years of a terrible economy, high taxes and broken promises from our president, it’s hard to believe that anyone
is having trouble deciding who to vote for.
After promis-ing to help our econ-omy, Obama single handed-ly tripled our national debt by spend-ing more than any
president in the history of America. If gas prices were under $3.50 and middle class families could actually afford to buy a gallon of milk, his spending might be understandable. While a president can’t completely turn our country around in one term, he can at least prevent it from
getting it ten times worse.Another problem is Obamacare, in
which we are taking after the Europeans, several of whom have died while waiting on a year-long waiting list to be seen by a doctor.
Also, in the HSS mandate, which is part of Obamacare, business owners are forced to provide their employees with contraceptives and abortion-inducing drugs, which strongly contradict the Catholic faith (keep in mind that free-dom of religion is supposed to be guar-anteed to us by the first amendment). Considering that the Catholic church employs thousands of Americans, that might present a somewhat huge prob-lem.
Lastly, Obama has done nothing to help the middle class like he’s promised so many times to do. For example 20% of people now have college loan debt.
So instead of giving Obama another four years to destroy our country, why not elect Mitt Romney. Romney is former businessman who’s helped many large companies get their businesses go-ing again. He has also been on the front lines of the economy and knows what we need to get it going again. Let’s also not forget that he slammed Obama at a recent presidential debate due to the fact that Obama had no good excuse to cover up for all the destruction he’s done.

Paranormal Activity 4
Cody MiCkcolumnist
The “Paranormal Activity” phase is officially concluded (probably) with the fourth installment. It stars Katie Featherston, reprising her memorable role as the series’ possessed woman who has had viewers checking the side of their beds since 2009.
After the second and third installments of the franchise, which practically erased the line between suspense and boredom, number four suc-ceeds at scaring audiences with a vengeance.
Those who were disap-pointed with the previous films’ slow moving pace will find it relieving to hear that this final movie constantly builds great suspense and offers great scares, although admittedly they do feel a bit recycled and predictable.
Despite being undeni-ably tongue-in-cheek with it’s constant humor and awkward cheesiness, “Para-normal Activity 4” boasts
perhaps the scariest, most suspenseful final five min-utes of any American thriller of recent memory.
Go see “Paranormal Ac-tivity 4” if you’re looking for the most fun hour and a half at the movie theater possible. Once again, the incredibly strong audience reaction is key for an unforgettable experience.
Fans of rock music, like myself, will appreciate the references to Metallica, Rob Zombie and the Beastie Boys. Fans of great cinema-tography will admire the clever use of XBox 360 and Macintosh technology to cre-ate unique, terrifying angles
from which to view the “ac-tivity.” Fans of horror mov-ies, or at least the “Paranor-mal Activity” franchise, will very much enjoy discovering what the final installment has to offer: the most satisfy-ing ending possible.
This film doesn’t require viewers to be strict crit-ics, and it does leave some questions unanswered. But at the end of the day, it’s the countless number of sleep-less nights which proves just how impactful this series has been. “Paranormal Activity” should stop right here while it’s hot and not pull a “Saw” by going for three more use-less sequels.

State champion in two events. Never seen her real father.
Successful student with a 4.0 GPA. Abused by her grand-mother.
Plan-ning on running on a full-ride scholarship
at a Division 1 school. Lived with six different families.
Some might think these don’t add up, but for junior La’Tiyera Yeargin, these are just a few of the many experiences she’s gone through in her life.
Yeargin, who is one of six siblings, had anything but a normal childhood. Her father has been in prison since she was born, and she says she has only seen him through pictures, a few
letters and four phone calls. Her mother, who has been in and out of jail, “hasn’t always been there,” according to Yeargin.
“My family is crazy,” Yeargin said. “Half of them are there for me, but the other half are clueless. It’s just a 50/50 family. I wish we were normal, like I had a mom and a dad who were together and that we lived to-gether. I wish we were closer.”
Yeargin was born in Topeka, but didn’t live with her mom un-til third grade, when she moved to Newton for the year. She then moved back to Topeka, where she was “thrown on various fam-ily members and strangers.”
She moved back to Newton High her freshman year and originally lived with her grand-mother. Yeargin shared that living with her grandmother for two years has been the hard-est thing she’s ever had to do (besides leaving her family) and described the experience as “very
stressful.” Her grandmother was an alcoholic and sometimes took out her anger on Yeargin, abus-ing her physically.
After a report of abuse was filed at the end of her sophomore year, Yeargin was moved by child protection services to stay with track coach Tad Remsberg.
“It was just a unique situa-tion,” Remsberg said. “My family could provide her with a place to stay, and it was just the right thing to do. It was harder for her than it was for us. It was an easy decision for my family.”
Yeargin said she “loved” her stay, but her family felt differ-ently.
“I guess you could say my family didn’t really approve, and they wanted me to go back home,” Yeargin said. “I fought really hard to stay here. I begged my mom to sign over her rights, refused to leave, started a peti-tion and prayed a lot. I couldn’t have done it without the support
of so many people behind me.”Eventually, Yeargin’s family
agreed to let her stay in New-ton after she was moved to her pastor’s house, which is where she has been living for the past three months.Instead of giving up when the going got tough, Yeargin said she used her experi-ences as motivation.
“I’ve had a lot of very bad times in my life, but I don’t let that stop me,” she said. “I turn it to motivation and better myself. Being sad over the bad stuff isn’t going to help in the long run, so I just have to deal with it and turn it positive.”
Although Yeargin tries to stay positive, there have been times when she has struggled, causing her to wonder if life was worth all of the hardships.
“There have been times when I think it’d be easier to just give up, but I have a lot to live for as far as my siblings, my talents and my friends,” she said.
Yeargin shared that the things that got her through the days were “friends, texting and chill-ing,” because “they get her mind off of life and reality and allow her to have fun.”
“Lati inspires me because she’s just so passionate about what she does, whether it be in sports or grades,” one of her friends, junior Katie Schroeder, said. “I just think she’s inspiring because if she says she’s going to do something she does it and doesn’t really hesitate.”
Yeargin inspires her friends and has many goals for the future, but she said she believes it’s important to focus on the little things too.
“I make myself happy,” she said. “I turn everyday into a happy day. Laugh away the pain, the stress, and just smile. That’s what I do. I plan on having big things in store in my life, and I won’t let anyone stop me from accomplishing my goals.”
Yeargin turns struggles into positives

Red Ribbon Week
“It’s important to educate kids about Red Ribbon Week because of what drugs can do to you. I bet high schoolers don’t care because they’ll do what they want anyways.”
so. Winter Razor
carlie rodgersfeatures editor
Red Ribbon Week takes place every year. It is recognized Oct 23-31.
This awareness campaign started as a tribute to a fallen drug enforcement agent in 1985. Special agent Enrique “Kiki” Camarena was murdered by drug traffickers in Guadalajara.
Americans in Kiki’s hometown began wearing red ribbons to commemorate him.
In 1988 the National Family Partnership took the movement nationwide.
To this day, wearing a red ribbon shows unity against sub-stance abuse and support for the campaign.
In grade schools children often participate in activities
and lessons surrounding Red Ribbon Week so that they may be educated about the negative effects of drugs, alcohol and tobacco.
Nevertheless, once students reach high school the campaign seems to become less important.

The staff is allowed to be ca-sual on Fridays and wear jeans. This is also true on one other day of the year. Denim Day.
Support Services teacher Eden Bloom has been in charge of organizing the event for a little more than 10 years for the alternative high school and now at the high school. Five or six years ago, however, Superinten-dent John Morton asked Bloom to head the event for the whole district.
“I got started with it because it seems like breast cancer has affected everyone,” Bloom said.
The way the day works is teachers can donate $5 in order to wear jeans on Denim Day. Denim Day is observed na-tionwide and started in 1996. According to denimday.com, the event started when several Lee jeans employees in one way or another had been affected by breast cancer. The idea to raise awareness eventually grew to one of the largest single-day fundraisers nationwide for breast cancer. In the past, funds have benefited the Susan G. Komen Foundation and the EIF women’s cancer program, but this year the money is being sent to the American Cancer Society, where it will help fund breast cancer research and screenings.
Bloom has always been supportive of the event, but two years ago it became more important when her mom was diagnosed with breast cancer.
“If it’s someone you know, when it’s your own mother, it’s really scary because you don’t know what’s going to happen,” Bloom said. “When it’s someone
close to you, you start to think about your own mortality, and you start to look at life differ-ently.”
Every year, Bloom also creates a display in honor or memory of all the names submitted to her from teachers in the district.
“People talk about breast cancer all the time, but you don’t expect it to happen to you,” Bloom said.
This was also the first year that those who donated could receive a T-shirt. Bloom said she did this in order to make the event more public.
“I’m hoping to make it more of a student involvement in future years,” she said. “[People should donate] just because it can affect anyone. Men and women get breast cancer. Ev-eryone knows someone who’s had breast cancer, whether it’s a friend, relative or somebody’s mom.”
For Spanish teacher Evelyn Gregg, who is a five-year breast cancer survivor this October, Denim Day and other campaigns for breast cancer awareness take on a more personal meaning.
“It raises awareness. [It’s] a commitment to the cause, and it’s important for women to get mammograms,” Gregg said. “Know the importance of early detection. You can’t stress early detection enough, because there are great results, and I’m very fortunate.”
Along with Gregg, Bloom agrees that breast cancer aware-ness and detection is an impor-tant cause to support.
“It’s a really good cause,” Bloom said. “I don’t do it for the recognition. They need the money, and it’s just a really good cause.”
“We’d like for high schoolers to care. We promote Red Ribbon Week as a reminder to make good decisions.”
counselor Jana Crittenden
“I feel that if high school students listened to the mes-sage [Red Ribbon Week would be important] but they don’t seem to care.”

“Preaching abstinence from drugs and alcohol is simply pointless to high school stu-dents. It’s like trying to keep a porcupine from popping balloons in a balloon shop.”

Every sports team has the dream of going to state, but for senior Emily Epp and the rest of the girls golf team, winning regionals was a major ac-complishment on their postseason checklist.
“We went into it not expecting to win,” Epp said. “We expected to get third and barely go to state, but we won. It was super exciting.”
This is the first time in school history that the girls golf team has won regionals, but according to coach Joanie Pauls, this isn’t the first time the girls have come close to qualifying for state.
“Two years ago we ended up placing fourth when the top three teams qualify for state,” Paul’s said. “We didn’t want to have that feeling again.
Placing eighth out of 12 teams at state, the team knew that this would be a year to remember.
“We placed at our first tournament and then got first at regionals and were the champions,” Epp said. “This golf season [was] fantastic.”

The cross country team will wrap up their season with state Saturday in Lawrence. Sophomore Kasey Stucky will represent the team at state for the second time.
“I was happy I qualified [for state],” Stucky said, “but I wish my teammates could come with me. Last year I got 36th, so I’d like to do better. I’ll try for a medal, but I don’t expect one.”
Head coach Richard Mick
believes that Stucky has the po-tential to do well at state.
“[Kasey is] a good athlete and she is familiar with the course and the state meet set-ting. We look for her to be very competitive,” Mick said via email.
Although the season is done, Stucky’s goals for state this year and the next involve the whole cross country team.
“I want to go to state next year and to state as a team at least one of the years,” Stucky said. “That would be awe-some.”

Q&A With State Qualifier
ALYSSA GAEDEreporter
Last Friday the girls won two matches at home against Liberal and Hays to advance to this weekend’s state tourna-ment in Topeka. The other teams that have qualified for state include Mill Valley, St. James and Shawnee Heights.
The girls on the team having been playing together for the last couple years and have developed a strong team. Senior Dakotah Kiehl said she believes they are able to play well as a group and have many strengths.
“We are a great team. We work well together, and once we get the ball up, we are re-ally good at hitting it down,” Kiehl said.
The team has been prepar-ing for state by watching films of their opponents and work-ing on different tactics and drills. Coach Jamie Dibbens said she thinks the team is prepared to compete at state.
“I think we are ready for state. It’s so competitive there, but this is the fun part of the season,” Dibbens said. “My hope is that we all play well, we knock off a couple good teams in pool play and make it to the second day.”
Kiehl said she thinks the running and practicing is only part of the preparation. She believes that the encouraging each other is what really takes them far.
“We are like a big family,” Kiehl said. “It really helps when we are cheering for each other and pushing each other just a little bit farther.”

The gymnastics team ended their season at state last Satur-day in Lawrence. This year the entire team got to compete.
“Going into state...our goal was to keep a positive attitude and to improve our scores,” senior DeAnna Opland said.
Two of the girls accomplished this by reaching their season high.
“Senior Macy Simmons had a season high on each of her three events and Senior Deanna Opland had her season high on floor,” Head coach Joanne Thaw said via email.
However, state was not the only successful thing about the season.
“It was a good season. The team was young as far as experi-
ence so it was a learning year. We accomplished many goals and made steady progress,” Thaw said.
Opland agrees that the sea-son was a success.
“The team as a whole im-
proved tremendously. It seemed like each day at practice one girl would get a new skill so that kept the season exciting,” Opland said.

As the football season comes to an end, the hype for Friday’s game at Andover is high, since the winner of the game will make the playoffs.
Head coach Brent Glann said he knows this will be a tough game.
“They [Andover] are a much better team than the teams we beat the last two years,” Brent Glann said.
Last year the Railers defeated the Trojans 45-23 and they will be looking to come out of Andover with a win secure a spot in the playoffs.
“This is going to be a huge game. We have the ability to win, and we should. I don’t want this being my last high school football game ever,” senior Jacob Wright said.
Glann said that even though the team has had many injuries side-lining players, other players have “filled in nicely.”
Newton, with a record 3-5, is coming into the game after beat-ing the Valley Center Hornets last Friday 23-12, while the Andover Trojans, with a 6-2 record, enter their final game after a 27-10 loss against Emporia.
“We expect for it to be a great game, and we expect to win,” Glann said.

On Tuesday the varsity boys soccer team advanced to the second round of regionals by defeating Andover Central 2-0.
The first goal of the game went to senior Ryan Stuchlik in the first half. With several missed
attempts by players, senior Gio-vanni Rubio scored the second goal with 5:05 left in the second half.
Although it was a good win, coach Scott Jantzi said they need to play better on Thursday if they’re going to beat Bishop Carroll.
“I’ve been preaching all sea-
son long that we need to connect passes, defend well and finish up top. If we can do those three things, we can pull through with a win [on Thursday],” Jantzi said.
Junior Francisco Fierros said the feeling of winning the game is great.
“We deserve to be here,” Fier-ros said. “I wouldn’t trade these guys for anything.”
It seems as though both the players and the coaches agreed that they need to play better against Bishop Carroll on Thurs-day.
“We have to bring much better game to [Bishop Carroll] because they are really good,” junior Frank Vasquez said.
