aVoting on renting computers for the Yearbook staff, the Leaguetown school board will be holding an emergency meeting on Friday, Feb.6, due to a three week computer ban.

 

Because of a recent hacking in January, the district will be offline for the next three weeks, affecting classes such as Computer Science, web design and journalism. The yearbook staff, with a close deadline,  request to rent computers for 500 dollars.

 

“Even if the yearbook company cut us a break for being late, we would risk not getting the book back before school ended,” says Rodney Stephens, yearbook advisor. “That would essentially kill an important tradition at the school. Yearbook Day for Seniors is one of the most beloved traditions at the school.”

 

Even senior Reggie White agrees with Stephens.

 

“Yearbook day is one of the highlights of our senior year.” said White. “Yearbook day is more popular than prom!”

 

Alexis Zavia, junior and editor of the yearbook, thinks otherwise.

 

“Our yearbook representative warned us that if we didn’t make the deadline, the chances of the book arriving before summer break were slim,” Said Zavia. “We were confident that this would not be a problem.”

 

The topic of my article is a shooting at a community college.  The title of my article is called

13 Killed in Shooting at Oregon’s Umpqua Community College: Official

I got this article from NBC News.

A recent shooting that happened at Umpqua Community College in Oregon, at October first, kills 13 people. It is unknown whether the gunman is one of the 13 dead. Mercy Medical Center in Rosenberg was treating 9 of the students when three more expecting students.  Sacred Heart General Hospital in Eugene, a major trauma center, was expecting three to come by helicopter, meaning that fifteen students were shot.

This is absolutely terrible, and unneeded. It kinda hurts me inside to know that someone was crazy enough to kill 13 (or 12) innocent bystanders. It replays the same question in my mind; “Why?” Although that question is not answered just yet, I hope that it will be answered very soon, and that it is not as bad as it may be. Obviously, this event does not effect me, for I do not live in Oregon.

This event doesn’t really effect the world. Many school shootings happen, probably everyday. All I know, is that if it is a big deal, then maybe a little more security will be put in small schools that have not issued searches for guns on students and such. Hopefully, it will open the eyes of others that anyone around you can be dangerous.

 

My topic is about a stampede the killed over 717 people, and what cause it. The article is called, “717 people dead: What caused the deadly stampede at the Hajj?” I got the article from CNN. It talks about mostly the rituals that could’ve, or most likely caused the stampede. It could also be because if the extreme heat they are experiencing, and the stampede just made everything even worse. But, this isn’t new; many people have been killed in the same exact ritual before, in 1990. I really don’t know how I feel about this event. Honestly, I don’t get how people can kill other people for ritual. This doesn’t really effect me either. I don’t live in the middle east where this event happened. Plus, not many people in my area have that religion, or at least not enough to make a huge stampede. This event, doesn’t really effect the world. I mean, it has happened another time before. It will definitely effect the ones who were related to those 717 people, though. Sadly, this ritual has killed so many people among the years, and hopefully they choose to stop this.

1) Because of phenomenal test scores over the past 3 years, RHHS will start having an open campus Lunch policy on September 30th, and is avaliable to all student except freshmen. Lunch periods will be extended by 10 minutes giving the students a 45 minutes lunch.

2) Believing this idea will hurt local business, community members are sending around a petetion against Walmart’s idea of a new Super Walmart, which Walmart believes they can handle two Walmarts in one town. The community will be having a town meeting on October 25th about this issue.

3)Principal George of Salada Traoil called Ms.Mobley about an incoming six grade student who was numerously tested to be a genius. Because of this status, Principal George would like to have him moved up to highschool early so he wouldn’t waste any time in Middle School.

4) Also showing that three to four children are every day in the U.S due to child abuse or neglect, and that more than half of the children were under one along with 79% of the children being under 5, a survey released yesterday by CAPC shows that the child abuse cases rose by 1 million from the previous year.

5)Cause 76,000 in damages, a fire that was started by a cigarette had homeowner Katly Mahoney, who was awakened  by the smell of smoke, suffering minor burns on her hands and feet. Firefighters found the house on fire at 3 am and soon had the blaze controlled in five minutes.

The topic of my article is about a Muslim boy who brought his own created clock to school, and getting arrested for it.   “#IStandWithAhmed: Twitter lights up in support of Muslim teen detained for bringing homemade clock to school.” I got the article at Yahoo News. The article is about how many people are standing up for Ahmed, tweeting #IStandWithAhmed. Even President Obama, who asked Ahmed to come to the White House, supports him. Many people tweet pictures of themselves with their clocks, mocking the idiocy of Ahmed’s arrest. I believe this is totally malarkey! It’s crazy how a clock could possibly even look like a bomb, but one of the other reasons he could have been arrested is because he is Muslim. BUT, what makes me really happy, is that many people are supporting him,  such as Hillary Clinton and Steve jobs. Steve jobs even posted, “The future belongs to people like Ahmed. Keep building.” This event really doesn’t affect me much, so I don’t know what to say about that. The event DOES effect the world though. So many people have the same religion as Ahmed, and are probably treated horribly by their peers for the same reason. Plus, this brings a new point of view to the world; Why are so many people so afraid of bombings, that they would think a ninth grader would build a bomb? Is fear already consuming this country without us even knowing it?

The topic of my article is over the treatment of Serena Williams, an amazing Tennis Player. Although she did not get interviewed herself in this article, Andy Roddick was. The title of my article is called “Andy Roddick On The Ugly Truth Behind How We Treat Serena Williams.” I got the article at The Huffington post/HuffPost Sports (<Click there for the link) The article, was all about how Serena Williams, is mainly mistreated because of her race and color. They say her body is too muscular for a woman.

This, is obviously wrong and arrogant. This hurts me to know that this talented woman is criticized  for her looks and skin color when she plays Tennis. I think it’s disgusting and horrible. The event definitely effects me, for I am a thick person my self. Also, my mom is too, and she is pretty strong. I would hate for my mom to be insulted for her strength and looks because she is not “perfect.”

Yet, this greatly effects the world more than me, because there are most likely more muscular women out there who get as much criticism as Williams. Imagine all the women who are getting criticized for being who they were born to be. That they’re called scary because they are strong, and different. If women are being criticized for their shape, why aren’t men? Hopefully, this issue gets noticed by the world.
