Filed under Opinion, Sports, Staff Columns
Turn on ESPN’s SportsCenter and you’ll likely see a story about how bad the Los Angeles Lakers are, a comparison of NBA superstars Lebron James and Michael Jordan, or reels on reels of the Clippers’ Blake Griffin dunking. But what you’re not likely to see is a segment on the Indiana Pacers. The... Read more »

In a world that has never had a day without slavery we now have about 27 million slaves living and suffering worldwide. And, in the world of human trafficking, the average person is worth just $90.

One week in a vegetarian’s shoes … and the shoes look pretty tasty!

People often make choices that I do not understand. Some people choose to watch scary movies, some choose to eat spicy food, and some choose to dress up in women’s clothes and ask people to call them Carol (though it is forgivable if you are a woman, and your name is Carol). But, the life choice I... Read more »
Bowlers deserve respect for succeeding at their SPORT

As an avid bowler at Fairmont High School, I hear a lot of questioning about whether or not bowling is really a sport. Personally, I’m getting a little tired of it. The only time I hear bowling get the attention it deserves is when a bowler goes to great lengths and throws a perfect game – that’s... Read more »

Filed under Staff Columns
The months of the year are often associated with a theme, which is then celebrated throughout the month.

Gay unions are acceptable but marriage … not so much
November 15, 2012 • Rachel Sheidler, Staff Writer
Filed under Opinion, Staff Columns
Name one issue that almost everyone in America has an opinion about. Some may say global warming, others may say abortion, but in my opinion, it’s gay marriage. Should it be legalized? Gay marriage was first introduced to the U.S. Supreme Court in 1993, which led the Court to establish gay marriage... Read more »
Save your money; 3D movies are a scam

3D movies: They have really taken off in the last couple of years. Quite a few movies are now offered in both 2D and 3D. People are naturally drawn to 3D, that pop-out effect. But are the 3D movies being produced everything it is said to be? Have you ever noticed how pricy 3D movies are? I sure have,... Read more »
Avoid misunderstandings by learning more about Mormons
November 8, 2012 • Joanna Olsen, Staff Writer
Filed under Opinion, Staff Columns
One of my favorite lines to say to my friends whenever they complain about being single or some other drama is “You think you’re misunderstood? Try being Mormon!” They laugh it off, make jokes about it, and pretty much ignore the basic meaning of it. Sometimes I wonder if they truly understand... Read more »
New roster will lead the Lakers to victory this year

Filed under Opinion, Sports, Staff Columns
If I were the type to mark important dates on my calendar, Aug. 9, 2012, would be circled and starred. That’s because that was the day a four-team trade was made that sent center Dwight Howard to the Los Angeles Lakers, a move that is going to help the team a tremendous amount. Not only did the Lakers... Read more »
Lunch law raises costs but leaves kids hungry
October 20, 2012 • Dakota Miller, Staff Writer
Filed under Opinion, Staff Columns
Lunch at school has always been a sort of routine for me. Grab some milk, grab an entrée, maybe a few sides and pay for it. While I may not have been making the healthiest choices in the world, I had the right to choose a bag of chips or some french fries now and then. However, with the new federal... Read more »
