The Pressures of Being a Student-Athlete: Part Two<\/span><\/h1>\n[\/heading][vc_column_text]Since it is mental health awareness month, I decided to interview Preston Montgomery, <\/span>a three-sport athlete, about how he handles school, work, and sports. <\/span>When asked how he balances school and sports, he answered, \u201cBalancing school and <\/span>sports can be challenging. I try to do most of the work at school.\u201d Getting all of your homework <\/span>done at school can be tough, especially for someone like Preston, who takes AP biology, <\/span>Advanced Composition, Pre-Calculus, and Spanish three. He said that \u201cAltogether, my <\/span>homework can take 2+ hours each night.\u201d <\/span>Having practice after school and then going home to do homework can be quite tiring, so <\/span>I asked, \u201cDo you feel like you are given too much homework?\u201d He responded, \u201cA lot of nights, I <\/span>feel the homework amount is too much. I don\u2019t feel that I get a lot of breaks to where there are <\/span>no nights of homework.\u201d <\/span>I then proceeded to ask him if he felt that the homework he was given helped him learn <\/span>the material. \u201cI feel that the homework given is helpful, but I feel I\u2019d have a better understanding <\/span>if they\u2019d do some more problems that will be similar to the homework,\u201d he responded. <\/span>Like many student-athletes, Preston also deals with stress, \u201cI do feel pressured to do <\/span>well in school and in sports, but I do have support from people. I have also pushed myself to be <\/span>the best I can be.\u201d <\/span>When asked what his stress level is like during his sports seasons, he replied, \u201cI wish it <\/span>were lower, but the stress is pretty high. I wish I didn\u2019t have to be stressed about what work I\u2019m <\/span>going to do after practice.\u201d <\/span>
It can be tough for Preston and other student-athletes alike to get schoolwork done and <\/span>be stress-free. During mental health awareness, I encourage you to check up on your friends, <\/span>whether they are athletes or not.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]\n

Advanced Manufacturing Project Sales<\/span><\/h1>\n[\/heading][vc_column_text]Mr. Basan\u2019s manufacturing classes have been making products <\/span>by hand in the woodworking shop. These items include coasters <\/span>made custom to your choice, squirrel picnic tables, and custom <\/span>plaques. The coasters are $5 for a set of 5. The squirrel picnic tables <\/span>are $15. The custom plaques are $30. They can make your orders <\/span>just by emailing Mr.Basan. The reason they have been selling these <\/span>
items is to be able to get more materials, to make more things. <\/span>These items are really recommended. You can get any design <\/span>and any color for coasters and plaques, but the picnic tables come in <\/span>one size and shape and are stained. They can be painted if <\/span>desired.

Viking Question of the Week<\/h1>\n[\/heading][vc_column_text]Last week’s poll asked \u201cWhat\u2019s your favorite soda?\u201d We had over 130 responses! The most voted drink was Dr Pepper, which is one of my favorites! The next most chosen was Mountain Dew. Funny enough, Coca Cola and Root Beer tied while Sprite, Squirt, and 7 Up almost tied with Mountain Dew. Very few people voted on Pepsi and Fanta. The \u201cI don\u2019t like drinks\u201d and Diet option was also less voted on. There were other votes on different drinks such as cream soda and monster, but someone also voted on rat poison, which is strange, but I won\u2019t judge.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][image_with_animation image_url=”9782″ animation=”Fade In” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”center” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” id=”story2″ overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_link=”#story2″][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][vc_text_separator title=”Sports” color=”black” css=”.vc_custom_1661432191841{border-radius: 10px !important;}”][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][heading subtitle=”By Garrett Hawthorne”]\n

Tennis Season Comes to an End<\/span><\/h1>\n[\/heading][vc_column_text]One of the downfalls of a sports season starting early is that it ends early. <\/span>This tennis season wasn\u2019t the best, but it wasn’t the worst. We had many wins <\/span>and too many losses. This shows that there is room for improvement. The <\/span>varsity lineup was the same all year. Bryce Easton at 1 singles, Garrett <\/span>Hawthorne at 2 singles, Jayce Noblitt at 3 singles, Brandon Dailey and Jack <\/span>Readinger at 1 doubles, and Christian Foltz and Gavin McCoy at 2 doubles. The <\/span>JV players were Liam Beeler, Bennett Evans, Briston Pape, Jeffery Brown, <\/span>Braydon Scott, and Bronson Thralls. <\/span>The tennis team suffered a hefty loss on Wednesday the 28th, sectional <\/span>day. We played against Terre Haute North. North has a really good team. <\/span>James Belmar, Connor Bishop, Gabe Dunbar, those are just the singles players. <\/span>We played them at Terre Haute South and lost 5-0 in total. We lost all of the <\/span>matches but, almost all of them were closer than the first time we played <\/span>them. I came up with a conclusion, we have a young team, and all of these other <\/span>schools we play have older teams and are more experienced than us. I believe <\/span>if we play during the off season and grow during the season the next couple of years, we <\/span>can become a good team and win more often.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\n

Breast Cancer Awareness Month<\/span><\/h1>\n[\/heading][vc_column_text]October is the official month honoring Breast Cancer Awareness. A common misconception <\/span>about breast cancer is only women get it. Men also can get it, but women are at a higher risk. <\/span>During Breast Cancer Month, we try to be more aware of breast cancer. The earlier breast cancer is d<\/span>etected, the higher the woman\u2019s survival rate is. That is why breast self-exams are so important. <\/span>Many good things have come from working with patients that have breast cancer. The first ever operation <\/span>to use anesthesia to reduce pain was breast cancer surgery. Breast Cancer Awareness Month is also <\/span>important because it helps promote self-care, focuses on the treatment factors, and spreads the wonderful <\/span>news of those who are proud survivors of it. Help support those with breast cancer during this month by <\/span>wearing pink. <\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\n

Caffeine Addiction Month<\/h1>\n[\/heading][vc_column_text]\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Long ago the plants that contain caffeine were limited to a few corners of East Africa (coffee plants) and a small region in South China (tea plants).\u00a0 Humans discovered the energizing effects of these plants in colonized areas that stretched from Africa to Asia\u00a0 to America. Today, 27 million acres of land and 25 million workers are dedicated to providing you with your favorite coffee. Historians called coffee the civil drink.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0In the 1950s companies noticed that after offering their female workers short breaks with tea and coffee, these women became much more productive, endured longer working hours, and produced higher quality work. The coffee break was created. Caffeine helped with wars. During the American Civil War, each Union soldier was issued 16kg of coffee a year. Because of the economic blockade, the South experienced Confederate soldiers deprived of caffeine. This caffeine imbalance gave a clear edge to one army over the other.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 It is becoming clear that caffeine improves both mental and physical performance through years of research<\/span>.\u00a0 Caffei<\/span>ne boosts memory focus, alertness, attention to detail, psychomotor skills, and learning ability. \u00a0 Suppose you’re a caffeine regular and would suddenly stop getting your fix. In that case, the lack of caffeine in your system will make you tired, irritable, lethargic, unmotivated, and unable to focus. In a worst-case scenario, you\u2019ll suffer intense distress and a complete loss of confidence.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Tea and coffee are rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.\u00a0 In fact, regular and moderate caffeine consumption is linked to lower risks of breast cancer and many other health conditions. Caffeine abuse may disrupt the quality of your sleep, research suggests that a moderate caffeine intake of four cups a day can benefit your health more than it takes away.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Origin of Halloween<\/span><\/h1>\n[\/heading][vc_column_text]The tradition of Halloween originated from the Celtic Festival of Samhain. Halloween hasn’t always been what we know it as today. It was originally called Hallows Eve. 2,000 years ago,\u00a0 Celts\u00a0 would wear costumes to ward off spirits They thought the new year began on November 1st, they believed that spirits or undead would return to the Earth. November 1st marks the end of\u00a0 the harvest season and the beginning of a dark, cold winter which many people would associate with death. From its origin, the tradition has slowly changed into what we know today with jack-o-‘lanterns, handing out candy and dressing for fun. Happy Halloween!<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][image_with_animation image_url=”9767″ animation=”Fade In” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”center” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”75%” max_width_mobile=”default”][heading subtitle=”By Red Bell”]\n

Opinion on Minimum Wage<\/span><\/h1>\n[\/heading][vc_column_text]\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Minimum wage is a topic not many people want to talk about, usually, I do a lighthearted article or just something informative, however, this is a very serious topic. The minimum wage is $7.25 as of 2006-2022 (present day), and before 2006 it was $6.55. The issue with minimum wage is it\u2019s way too low, rent is too high, bills have gone up, and food right now is very costly. Say you work 35 hours a week, and you\u2019re paid $7.25. You\u2019d get $253.75 weekly, now multiplying that by 4 (4 weeks in a month) you\u2019d get $1,015, however you get a tax cut on your salary, which tends to be 15.22% off. So really you\u2019re only getting $863 monthly, which wouldn\u2019t be bad if inflation hadn\u2019t caused prices to go up. The average rent price ranges anywhere from $700-$1,000+, thankfully we live in a small city, so our rent prices are much cheaper (usually in the $200-$400+ range). Now, we also have to take into account the bills (water bills, electric bills, internet bills, etc) as well as food, which people can spend up to $1,339 on monthly if they\u2019re eating right. I did the math, and in bigger cities, it can cost more than $3,000 a month to live there, that\u2019s not counting furniture, personal belongings, or going out. Places are hiring for $12-$15 an hour, but that\u2019s what minimum wage SHOULD be, and even then it can be hard to get by in bigger cities. In smaller cities, like Terre Haute, it\u2019s cheaper to live.<\/span>
\n<\/span>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Recently there\u2019s been an increase in homeless people. 66.7% of people in America are homeless, those who aren\u2019t homeless live with family, and not many people can live alone because it\u2019s too expensive. As of right now, the homeless can get fined up to $3,000 just for sleeping on the sidewalks or benches. Speaking of, organizations are now making \u201chomeless\u201d proof benches and railings.<\/span>
\n<\/span>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Thanks to the government getting involved in matters that don\u2019t involve them, inflation has rocketed. The American dollar is actually worth less now and your coins are worth more than a paper dollar, they won\u2019t lose value unlike the paper dollar because coins are metal. Your 25 cents will ALWAYS be 25 cents in coin. The singular dollar isn\u2019t even a dollar.<\/span>
\n<\/span>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Food prices have gone up by 10%, housing has gone up by 10.8%, and rent has gone up by 13.4%. Our $7.25 minimum wage isn\u2019t cutting it anymore, but it was fine 50 years ago when everything was cheaper, and the American dollar was worth its face value. <\/span>
\n<\/span>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 I want to make people aware of how bad it\u2019s actually getting, that is the purpose of this article. A teenage high school student shouldn\u2019t have to be stressed over the fact that they might not have much of a future in America because of the American government.<\/span><\/p>\n

My College Visit to West Virginia University<\/span><\/h1>\n[\/heading][vc_column_text]\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0This weekend I traveled to Morgantown, West Virginia for a college visit. Before the trip, <\/span>I was anxious about what college I wanted to attend because I hadn\u2019t found one that was the <\/span>right fit. After the trip, I knew I wanted to attend West Virginia University. First and foremost, the <\/span>campus and greenery were beautiful. The student union, which they call the Mountainlair, was <\/span>also very nice, and I could see myself spending a lot of time there. The recreational center was <\/span>way fancier than any other college recreational center I\u2019ve been to. There was a rock wall, an Olympic<\/span>-sized pool with a whirlpool and hot tub, volleyball and basketball courts, a track, and a <\/span>gym. I was glad the recreational center was so nice because I plan on working out in college. <\/span>The dorm the tour guides showed us was also very clean and fairly large, considering it was a <\/span>dorm room. Looking at the dorms, I could see myself living there. The college also has this <\/span>really cool form of transportation for students called PRT, which stands for personal rapid transit. <\/span>The PRT is a little train that takes students from campus to campus. The main reason why I <\/span>picked West Virginia for college is because of the feeling I got when I was there. It felt <\/span>like home, and I could see myself living in the area even after college.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][image_with_animation image_url=”9753″ animation=”Fade In” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”center” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][vc_column_text]West Virginia University<\/em>[\/vc_column_text][heading subtitle=”By Michael Montgomery”]\n

National Animal Safety and Protection Month Article<\/span>
Have you ever wondered how you can keep your animal safe this month? Have any <\/span>
animals such as service dogs, cats, rabbits, dogs, and other animals that want to be <\/span>
protected? You came to the right article because we will share <\/span>different ways to protect your animals this month. This is important because it teaches <\/span>human beings to protect their best friend and to prevent early death. We will teach you to <\/span>keep your animal safe. Here are five ways to keep your pet safe.<\/span>
#1 Regular yearly-check ups: Regularly visiting your veterinarian can scan your <\/span>dog\u2019s body health for any trouble.<\/span>
#2 Watch your pet’s symptoms of an allergic reaction: Just like humans, pets can also <\/span>suffer from allergic reactions. S<\/span>ymptoms of an allergic reaction include:<\/span>
–<\/span> Itching or Redness<\/span>
–<\/span> Swelling around their eyes or face<\/span>
–<\/span> Vomiting<\/span>
–<\/span> Wheezing (Shortness of Breath)<\/span>
Immediately bring your dog to a veterinarian for a check-up.<\/span>
#3 Avoid foods that pets can\u2019t eat. For example, if you have a chocolate bar in your hand <\/span>and you accidentally drop a piece of chocolate that your pet eats, it which shouldn\u2019t be <\/span>eaten. Your pet may suffer from life-threatening signs of digesting the food such as <\/span>seizures and even death. So the next time you drop something your pet shouldn\u2019t eat, pick <\/span>it up and throw it in the trash.<\/span>
#4 Hide toxic chemicals for your pets. Pets don\u2019t even notice the dangers of touching <\/span>toxic substances that can affect their health. Substances such as softeners, bleach, <\/span>cleaning bottles, glue, soap bottles, and other toxic substances should be <\/span>AVOIDED AT <\/span>ALL COSTS.<\/span> Store your cleaning supplies somewhere your pets can\u2019t reach and can\u2019t see <\/span>them.<\/span>
#5 Watch for symptoms of dehydration. Pets can be dehydrated if they <\/span>
don\u2019t consume enough water intake. Watch out for symptoms of dehydration such as <\/span>temporary loss of skin elasticity, mouth dryness, and even severe fatigue. Visit your <\/span>veterinarian <\/span>ASAP<\/span> if symptoms start appearing.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
In conclusion, National Animal Safety and Protection Month is an important month to keep your animals safe and secure. It can also prevent dangerous health hazards to your pets and avoid hospitalization or even death. You can prevent complications and save your pet before it\u2019s <\/span>too late.<\/span>
