The Bison Stampede – June 1, 1998

It is said that the high school years are the best of your life. Nothing can erase the memories, remember that many graduates will be made. On June 5, these seniors will march through the halls of their high school for the last time.

"The excitement is palpable," said senior Mackenzie Carter. "It's racing and we'll savor it all at the same time."

Graduates take in the gymnasium and begin at 7:30 p.m. While some are thinking of more minuscule things like, "Yes, I'm sure, I'm here," and hope they're thinking.

In the four years that seniors have been here, they have been given the opportunity to grow and learn.

And senior Chris Smith said, "Due to a smaller class, this year's will be harder to get through. We'll be celebrating the ceremony in the gym and we'll be excited for anyone that would like to join us."

Before the class moves on, we will leave Buffalo with memories that will last a lifetime.

A library security system has been approved by District 877 School Board to install the new system next year. More students will use the library since the new system is more efficient.

No matter how unusual, they have improved, but have different than expected.

The security system will be installed this summer. It is designed to catch anyone that has not checked out books.

"I hope we can implement this system as soon as possible," said Principal Mike [unclear]. It is a big step for the school.

"It will be a great addition to our school," said Principal Mike [unclear].

"It will be a positive thing all around," said Principal Mike [unclear].

In two years, $16,353 worth of books have been returned. The system costs $11,180, for every student in the school. The reason why Miller and Marcus were chosen for the system was because they were the most likely to be stolen.

Libraries about the country have this system already, even in small towns.

"It will be a positive thing all around," said Principal Mike [unclear].

A group of people learn about foreign countries, whether they want to or not. For Karlee Felger, it is an opportunity to travel through miles of foreign lands and countries.

Junior Karlee Felger will that chance this summer as the first student selected for the Rotary Exchange Student Program. In preparation for her trip, Felger only had to come up with $3,300 to cover her expenses, but she also had to work.

"I don't think I could do what I would do to deal with a task like this," Felger says. "If I go to Italy, my only goal would be to enjoy as much of the trip as possible. I want to see everything and experience as much as I can."

Felger is going to study in Italy this summer. She will be staying with a host family and attending a local high school.

"I'm excited to go to Italy," Felger says. "I've always wanted to go there, and I'm looking forward to experiencing the culture and seeing the sights."

Felger's trip is being sponsored by the Rotary Club. The club provides financial support to students participating in exchange programs.

"We are so proud of Karlee," said [unclear]. "She is a wonderful student and we are excited to see her experience this opportunity."

Students, their parents, and teachers were soaked in the chill of the auditorium although a bit of a laugh.

"It was loud and startling," said Amina West. "Everyone was just sitting there, and then suddenly the sirens went off."

Even though the sirens were loud and startling, the ceremony continued.

"It was a bit unexpected," said [unclear]. "But we just kept going. It was actually kind of funny."

Around 200 students attended the ceremony to be awarded for their achievements.

"Every night I spend time doing my assignments and studying, so this award means a lot to me," said [unclear].

"We are so proud of all our students," said [unclear]. "They have worked so hard, and we are happy to recognize their achievements."

Most teachers look for students who try hard and produce excellent work. The hundreds of students who were recognized for their individual achievement were honored at the ceremony.

"It was worth the wait," said [unclear]. "We were so excited to be there."

"Thank you so much for this award," said [unclear]. "It means a lot to me."

The awards ceremony is an annual event at BHS to recognize the achievements of students.

On Friday, May [unclear] crash test dummies visited BHS. Their mission was to keep people from driving drunk over the weekend, but they looked to promote overall safe driving.

The long-awaited summer break is ending sooner this year. For the first time in ten years, school will begin on August 26, the first day of school. The early start is due to a special bill passed by the state legislature to help the state's budget. The bill, which was passed last month, allows school districts to start their school year earlier than usual. This change is expected to help the state save money on school lunches and other expenses. While some parents and students are unhappy about the early start, others say it is a necessary change. "We're going to compete with other states," said Superintendent Tom Nelson. "If we're going to compete, we need to start earlier."

Another contribution to the early start date is the Panic of 2008 and the school district's need to cut costs. The school district did not have enough money to pay for all of its programs, and the early start is one way to save money. The school district also plans to cut some of its programs, including music and art. "We're going to have to make some tough decisions," said Superintendent Nelson. "But we have to do what is best for our students."

Some parents and students are concerned about the early start. "It's going to be hard for us to adjust to the new schedule," said one parent. "We're used to having the summer break last until September."

Despite the concerns, the school district is moving forward with the early start. The district is working to ensure that all students are prepared for the new school year. "We're going to do everything we can to help our students succeed," said Superintendent Nelson.

For several the issues in writing, making decisions and realizing are thinking and other things. "Mostly people fill out a questionnaire, then you will match you with another person who is compatible," said Kolles.

Students living in apartments often share rooms. There is a common idea that students live in a dormitory, but many students choose to live in an apartment instead. "It's much more independent," said Kolles. "You have your own space and you can do what you want."

"Homework resists, making my decisions is hard," said Kolles. "But it's all part of the experience."

"Academically, you should get used to the idea of being organized. Strengthen your time management skills," Kolles said.

"I highly recommend that you go to college. It might be the best thing you ever do for yourself," said Kolles.

With the effort of the registrar's office, anyone can agree it will work hard, said Tech. Getting into broadcast journalism might seem like a difficult path, but it's a path that many students are choosing to take. "It's a challenging field, but it's also a rewarding one," said Tech. "You're working to build your skills and your knowledge every day."

As a student at Tech, the opportunities are endless. From hands-on experience in the classroom to internships in the field, there is something for everyone. "I've had the chance to work on some really cool projects," said one student. "I've even had the chance to work with some real professionals."

But it's not all fun and games. The workload can be intense, and the pressure to succeed can be high. "It's definitely not easy," said one student. "But it's worth it in the end."

As students prepare for their future careers, they are learning the skills they need to succeed in the real world. "We're learning how to communicate effectively, how to work in a team, and how to solve problems," said one student. "These are all skills that will be important in any career."

Whether they choose to pursue a career in broadcast journalism, meteorology, or something else entirely, the students at Tech are well-prepared for whatever the future holds. "I'm excited to see where this path takes me," said one student. "I know it won't be easy, but I'm ready for the challenge."

“Everyone’s going to be in shock at first,” said junior Dana Greenwood, a member of the student council parking lot committee, of plans to introduce a fee for parking in the student lot.

The plan, which has already been rejected as a policy for next year, is likely to be adopted for the 1999-2000 school year, pending approval by the school board.

What the plan calls for, according to current estimates, is a fee of approximately $40 to $48 charged to students for the right to park in the school lot year-round. For those not wishing to pay for the whole year maybe possible to simply pay by the quarter or even the day, although no conclusions have been reached.

“We should know by next year,” said Greenwood.

With the money collected through parking fees a lot attendant would be hired to check for stickers on cars, among other things.

All the recent school-related violence in the news has made safety a definite priority. Particularly in question is the presence of guns in cars, which are kept there for convenience by students who hunt after school. Nothing as of yet has been done about this, but a lot attendant might change that.

“We haven’t really talked about that,” said sophomore Anna Quady, also a member of the parking lot committee. Quady goes on to state that the attendant probably wouldn’t conduct searches of cars but would report guns if they were seen in passing.

Other responsibilities of the attendant would include keeping the lot cleared of snow in the winter. This will reduce risks to student drivers, many of whom have experienced first-hand the perils of winter driving.

“It’d be a lot more beneficial than people think,” said Quady.

While the parking fee may help keep costs down, a state law currently in effect says that schools must pay for space on a bus for every student, whether the student actually rides the bus or not. This amounts to around $1,000 per student. Multiply this by every car in the student lot, not even accounting for students who car-pool, and we find much wasted money on empty bus seats each year.

A bill currently on the state legislature’s agenda will allow students to waive their right to ride the bus and release the school from paying for the seat. Funds saved from this bill, which is expected to pass, could even go towards reducing projected parking fees, which are already relatively low.

“Other schools pay $40 to $50 a semester,” said Greenwood.

While added expenses aren’t likely to go over well with students in the beginning, with the added benefits and security the plan, which was actually conceived of and created by students, should be accepted in time.

Besides, Quady added, “It will save money in the long run.”

Imagine waking up in a hotel room naked, your clothing strewn all over the floor, bruises all over your body and no memory of what happened the night before. Experiencing this nightmare is a reality to victims of the “date rape” drug rohypnol. Increased usage of this drug has stirred up concern for students everywhere.

A relatively new drug on the market, rohypnol is produced in Mexico and intended to be a sleeping aid. However, because of its strength – ten times stronger than valium – it has become a dangerous drug used for criminal purposes. The fact that rohypnol is legal to bring into the country makes it even more dangerous because it’s readily available.

Rapists most widely use rohypnol. They may slip a tablet into the beverage of an unsuspecting victim and wait for the drug to take effect. Some warning signs of rohypnol include confusion and drowsiness which begins within 30 minutes after being drugged. These effects peak within two hours and can persist for eight hours or longer. At this point, the rapist plays the “hero” by taking the disoriented person home, only to rape them.

“I’m scared about this happening at college,” said senior Sarah Fehn. “It’s all new people you’re meeting and you don’t know their background and you really don’t know what to expect on a date.”

The first reported rape case linked to rohypnol was in June 1993 in south Florida. Usage has increased since then. Contrary to popular belief, rohypnol is not a drug just found in bars. Users of rohypnol may be as young as eight to ten years old, but is most common among high school and college age students.

“I am concerned for my younger sisters. I really care about them and now they will probably be going to parties and dances and someone could easily slip it into their drinks,” said junior Andy Hermes.

Becoming a victim of date rape can happen to anyone at any given time. Once the effects of this drug begin to set in, it may be too late to prevent becoming a victim, unless friends who act quickly are close by.

“It’s very frightening to think that I could be at a party and someone could slip a drug in my drink that would enable them to rape me,” said junior Jenny Summers. “It makes me think for a minute and take a look at the world around me.”

In the interest of curbing rohypnol usage, President Clinton passed a bill stating that rapists convicted of using the drug will have another 20 years added to their sentence. However, effective prevention only happens when people are aware of their surroundings in social situations.

These halls have seen, their fair share of students, pass through over the last year and a half and even more are sure to come. But for some of the students, the '97-'98 school year will always hold a special place inside their hearts. Students may not realize it now, but when they look through yearbooks with their children and grandchildren, that's when they'll remember.

Cleaning toilets, food, sorting books and making announcements to approximately 1,450 students every day is not the most desirable thing to do. However unpleasant some aspects may become, these people take care of our needs, but rarely do they receive recognition.

The BIS support staff are the woodwork that holds our school together and they deserve "thanks."

Clearly, doing these jobs, cleaning, sorting and working without complaint is required. They do receive acknowledgement from students.

All day, the school is a hive of activity. Students and faculty and staff are making use of the facilities. The school is a busy place, and the support staff are the ones who keep it running smoothly.

Everything for breakfast and lunch. Preparing meals for the school kitchen and canteen, they do this all well and are ready to help whenever needed. After lunch, when all students have gone, the janitors are to clean up. Upon returning to the floor, a pile of dust and food decomposes. All day, the accessories, mail, reading courses and making sure everyone is in their place.

I was shocked on my arrival at the school to learn that the students of [unclear] were being forced to wear uniforms. I was told that the school was planning to introduce uniforms to the school next year. I asked the students if they liked the idea of uniforms and they said that they did not. Some students said that they thought uniforms were a good idea because they would make everyone look the same. Other students said that they thought uniforms were a bad idea because they would take away their individuality. One student said that they thought uniforms were a good idea because they would make everyone look more professional. Another student said that they thought uniforms were a bad idea because they would be uncomfortable to wear. I asked the students if they had any other opinions on the matter and they said that they did not.

And what about the confusion over what is and is not appropriate clothing? The school handbook governs that: ...students are not permitted to wear clothes that are too tight or revealing, or clothes that are vulgar or that display violence. The school also states that students must wear appropriate footwear. The system takes just as much effort to maintain as it does to enforce. I further argue that attitudes in school are synonymous with the dress code in the school. If the school wants to improve the atmosphere, then it should work on improving the atmosphere of the school. So what if uniforms is controversial? Do we really have the right to dictate what students wear? Many people think that if you wear uniforms, you will look more professional. But I think that if you want people to respect you, you should work on being a person that people respect. Once people start looking for a way to make themselves look more professional, they're going to have a hard time realizing that they're actually just trying to look better. Even now you can identify staff from McDonald's by what they wear. It is too easy to judge people by what they wear. Many adults who work in professional environments are judged by what they wear. This is why I think that uniforms are a good idea. They can help to create a sense of unity and belonging among students. They can also help to reduce bullying and peer pressure. However, they can also be seen as a way to suppress individuality. This is why the debate over school uniforms is so complex. It is a debate that involves many different perspectives and viewpoints. There is no easy answer to the question of whether or not school uniforms should be introduced. It is a decision that must be made carefully and with consideration for all of the students involved.

Once they're maximized every line from "Alaska" the after viewing, people wonder what they're doing in this summer. Several full times and small projects, a short getaway is the typical occurrence. All summer is still vacation.

Some people have even found vacations that are not quite become tradition.

"Glacier National Park is my favorite place to visit. I'd dream of going there since I was a kid," said Ms. Denise Wahlen-Fulton.

Some may choose to stay close to home. The family can also over-spend.

"We have a cabin near Lake Issaca State Park, that has been in our family for three generations. It's so peaceful and relaxing," said sophomore Anna [unclear].

"Every year we go to Leach lake with family friends," said junior Tom Kozins, "we spend time fishing, camping and the campsite."

June, the last day of school. A time to "goodbye" to BHS and "hello" to summer. Sound probably is to do it, but leaving school also means leaving friends. Although it may not be such a big deal to the students who will be reminiscing about the sixth grade, this is the time for some seniors.

Seniors Christy Smith and Jenay Hughes are reminiscing about their summer. They have grown upon memories, during themselves to make goodbye easier.

"I think it is pretty kind of psychologically easy to stay away from close relationships with friends from high school," said Smith. "It makes the transition a lot easier not to spend so much time with friends.

"This is also the time when seniors redo all the tests they've had with others over the thirteen years of school.

"You meet the nicest people through your life and it's disappointing that you won't see them again," Smith said.

"Sometimes it's not always pleasant to spend a lot of time together," Smith said. "You want to stay close, but you don't want to get too close."

The van returned from the meet, the exchange student got out, went to the back, opened up the rear doors, and then said, “What did you do with my clubs?” That question was easily answered by BHS Boys’ Golf coach Pete Specht, “Nothing. You were supposed to load them on to the van before we left. You must’ve left them there.” That was one of the fond and humorous memories Specht has for his twenty-four years as coach.

After a lengthy battle with himself, Specht has decided to stay at least another year as head golf coach, and a business teacher.

“Just didn’t feel ready (to retire),” said Specht, “I enjoy what I’m doing, and for a number of reasons, I decided to stay another year.

This season, the Bison held a constant battle with Totino-Grace throughout the season. With only one senior, the Bison have really come out to play this year and have come through with the pressure on.

“I think our team is very balanced, we have a good lineup, sophomore Pat Mahlberg has really stepped up from the beginning of the year, and junior Pete Onstad has played consistently the whole season,” said junior David Barse.

When it comes to team members, Specht has no bad memories of individuals, and their behavior both on the course and off.

“In my twenty four years coaching, I have never had a big problem with attitudes or cheating,” said Specht. “I have been very fortunate to have good kids.”

Specht is very knowledgeable on the rules of golf, golf etiquette, and, of course, how to play the game.

“If you have a problem, he knows enough about golf that chance are, he will be able to fix it,” said sophomore Pat Mahlberg.

There is a great deal of respect for the 24 year coach by the kids on his team this year, and every year he has coached.

“We have a good time, but he pushes us, and doesn’t expect anything from the best out of us,” said junior Dan Belcourt.

Although the sport’s popularity is on the rise, golf still receives less recognition, and turnout of players than other spring sports.

“It doesn’t bother me, I’ve got good, responsible kids,” said Specht, “I guess any team has to earn the glory.”

Specht has indeed made a very important decision, and for the Bison’s sake, and most importantly, his sake, it was the right one.

The crack of a 70 mile-per-hour slap-shot hitting the glass. The crash of bodies slamming into the boards. The ping of a shot ricochetting off the pipe. For most Minnesotans, hockey is the first thing that comes to mind when they hear these sounds. However, few of them think of roller hockey.

While ice hockey has long been one of Minnesota’s most prevalent sports, there’s a whole new breed of hockey that’s taking the state by storm. Just as kids can be seen every winter turning their local ponds and lakes into makeshift ice hockey rinks, the summers find kids blocking off neighborhood streets and cul-de-sacs to play one of the fastest growing sports in the world—roller hockey. Ice hockey players are finding it a great way to train during the off season, and people who never really got into ice hockey at an early enough age are finding roller hockey to be a good starting point.

“I like roller hockey because you can find somewhere to play anytime you want. All you have to do is go outside and block off a street,” said Senior Paul Heyerdahl. “It can be dangerous sometimes, but that just makes it more fun.”

The two big differences between the games comes in the rules and regulations, and the skating styles. Teams play four-on-four, with goaltenders, as opposed to five-on-five. Penalties are much more strict, checking is rarely allowed in league play, and fighting usually earns a one or two game suspension. Teams can end up playing two-on-two if enough penalties are called. Offsides, two line pass, and icing are overlooked, which makes the game a bit faster than ice hockey.

“The biggest flaw of the game is definitely the poor management and organization of leagues,” said Rick Dobrowski, a member of the Mission Roller Hockey Company. “From professional leagues, all the way down to the bar leagues, there needs to be a lot better management and better coaching.”

Although roller hockey has grown by leaps and bounds over the past five years, it has a long way to go before it can be considered one of the major sports of the world. Most people seem to think it’s because roller hockey is just a variation of ice hockey, and isn’t even deserving of the attention that ice hockey gets. Whether that is true or not, roller hockey has proven to be a fast-paced alternative to ice hockey, and will certainly be around for a long time to come.

The magic potion craze hitting the sports world is a strength enhancement supplement known as creatine. Young people who see professional athletes using it are beginning to follow suit.

Discovered in 1832 by a French scientist, creatine was identified as a naturally occurring organic compound found in meat. It is manufactured in the liver, kidneys and pancreas using three amino acids. (protein) Scientists named the compound after the Greek word for flesh. By 1926, a British medical journal was citing creatine in its natural form as an agent for weight gain. Now, creatine is more popular than ever, thanks to its seemingly instant gain of muscle mass and strength.

“We have guys taking it here at BHS right now, to bulk up for the upcoming football season,” said head football coach Gerald Rohl.

Brady Anderson of the Baltimore Orioles, was believed to be the first publicize user of creatine in 1991. Since its recent popularity, physicians have been taking a closer look at the supplement which still holds mysteries and advise the public to be wary.

Today’s use of the substance is wide-spread among athletes of many sports. Fifty percent of NFL players use creatine, along with a fourth of all the players in the NHL and major league baseball. Among Olympic sprinters, cyclists, and weightlifters, those who don’t use creatine are harder to find than those who do. A creatine craze is spreading for a simple reason: The stuff works. It helps build muscle, and cuts recovery time after a work out.

However, some physicians say that creatine can increase your chances of getting muscle cramps and other muscle related injuries.

Professional teams such as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Chicago Cubs, and the San Diego Padres, will not allow creatine in their locker rooms. Trainers of these teams discourage players from using it. Their reason being that not enough is known about creatine, and its long term effects. Buffalo trainer Chris Savaloja, agrees with the pros.

“Creatine is still a very new drug,” said Savaloja. “I would not recommend it to anyone until we get more information on it.”

While experts still worry about its long-term effects, especially among children who think that if a little is good, more is better, FDA is cautioning consumers that they should consult a doctor before using it. Physicians agree that the supplement still holds too many mysteries.

“What we don’t know about creatine should scare us more than what we do know about the new substance,”

Mark Juhn, a University of Washington sports physician told Sports Illustrated. “There are no studies that prove its innocence.” “If you are perfectly healthy to begin with, why take chances?” exclaimed Juhn. “You have to ask yourself: is it worth it?”

It's 11:00 p.m., and you are watching The Tonight Show, Dinah Shore, or some other late-night program. A celebrity, a musician, a comedian, a basketball player, a movie star, a singer, a politician, a professional athlete, or a famous person is on the screen. They are doing something that is not quite right, but it's not exactly wrong, either. They are being a little bit naughty, a little bit irreverent, or a little bit rude. And you, the viewer, are watching it, and you are laughing, or you are smiling, or you are just thinking, 'That's funny.' But what if that person is a role model? What if that person is someone that children are looking up to? What if that person is someone that children are trying to be like? If that is the case, then the bad values that the person is demonstrating could have a negative impact on the children. They could learn that it's okay to be rude, or it's okay to be irreverent, or it's okay to be naughty. They could learn that it's okay to be disrespectful to others, or it's okay to be selfish, or it's okay to be dishonest. These are not good values for children to learn. We need to be careful about the role models that we are providing for our children. We need to make sure that the people they are looking up to are people who are demonstrating good values. We need to make sure that the people they are looking up to are people who are being respectful, being kind, being honest, and being responsible. If we do that, then we can help our children to grow up to be good people.

The thermometer reads 80 degrees and the sun is not the slightest bright. The beach is filled with swimmers, and the sand is burning in the heat. While some people are relaxing and basking in the sun, others are working hard. Many students are spending their entire day on the sand, playing volleyball, or swimming in the ocean. Some students are even participating in organized activities, such as beach volleyball tournaments or sandcastle building contests. One student, Sarah Jenkins, said, "It was very rewarding to stay in the ocean all day. Even though it was hot, we had a lot of fun. We learned a lot about teamwork and how to work together to achieve a common goal." Another student, Mark McWhorter, said, "The camp was a great experience. I met a lot of new people and made some new friends. I also learned a lot about myself and what I am capable of doing." The camp provided a great opportunity for students to get out of the classroom and experience something new. It also helped them to develop important life skills, such as teamwork, communication, and problem-solving. The experience was both fun and educational, and the students left the camp feeling refreshed and inspired.

A loud crack is heard, an opponent's foot hits the mat, and a competitor's body flies through the air. The match is intense, the crowd is cheering, and the tension is palpable. This is taekwondo, a martial art that requires discipline, strength, and precision. For many young athletes, taekwondo is more than just a sport; it is a way of life. It teaches them respect, self-control, and perseverance. And now, a group of young taekwondo athletes from the area has the opportunity to compete on a global stage. They have been selected to participate in the Junior World Taekwondo Championships, which will be held in Orlando, Florida. This is a huge honor for the athletes and their families. They have worked hard to get to this point, and they are excited to represent their community on the world stage. The competition will be fierce, with athletes from all over the world competing for the top honors. But these young athletes are prepared. They have been training hard, and they are ready to give it their all. They are not just competing for themselves; they are competing for their families, their coaches, and their community. They are ready to show the world what they are capable of.

Alain Zarracina, a local taekwondo athlete, has been selected to join the Junior World Team. Zarracina, who has been training at the local taekwondo studio for several years, has demonstrated exceptional skill and dedication to the sport. His selection to the Junior World Team is a testament to his hard work and commitment. The Junior World Team will compete in the upcoming Junior World Taekwondo Championships, which will be held in Orlando, Florida. This is a prestigious event that brings together the best young taekwondo athletes from around the world. Zarracina will have the opportunity to compete against the very best in his age group, and he will represent his community on an international stage. His coaches are incredibly proud of his achievement and are confident that he will perform well at the championships. "Alain has worked so hard for this," said his coach. "He is a dedicated athlete and a wonderful person. We are so proud of him and can't wait to see him compete on the world stage."

Wants to be faster, quicker, stronger? Many athletes do. If you find yourself saying yes to any of these, maybe you want strength and conditioning. The program was a huge success.

Many people enjoyed improvements in the weight room. "I've been lifting for years and have improved my strength, speed and quickness even more, thanks to Bret Swengstad," said one athlete.

An athlete from the high school, [unclear] [unclear], said, "I've worked on the workouts, but I've never seen anything like this."

"The program is designed to help athletes of all levels," said Bret Swengstad. "We want to see them get stronger, faster, and more efficient in their sports."

Many athletes have already seen results. "I feel much stronger and more confident," said one athlete. "I think it's going to help me in my sport."

The program is open to all athletes, regardless of their skill level. It's a great way to get in shape and prepare for the upcoming season.

If you're interested in learning more about the strength and conditioning program, contact Bret Swengstad at [unclear] [unclear].

School like the Saguenay Rivermont have equipment from them as well.

It is evident to us all how humanity's struggle to overcome the obstacles that prevent the attainment of peace and justice is a task that requires more than just charity. We need a fundamental change in the way we think about ourselves and our relationship to the world and to each other. If we are to achieve a world where all people can live in dignity and respect, we must be willing to confront the deep-seated prejudices and inequalities that continue to divide us. This will require not only individual effort but also collective action on a global scale. We must work together to build institutions that promote justice and equality, and we must hold our leaders accountable for their actions. The challenge is great, but it is not insurmountable. If we are committed to the cause of humanity, we can and will create a better world for ourselves and for future generations.

Editor: These two letters to Raquel Bright, as printed in the Pegasus, have revisited the recent controversy.

Of course the themes that were 'Why Christians...' stated must be understood. 'Christians have become a group of people who are more interested in their own comfort and acceptance than in the needs of others.' This is a common criticism of religious groups, but it is one that is particularly relevant to the current controversy. The Pegasus story has raised questions about the role of religion in society and the responsibility of religious institutions to engage with the world. Some see it as a sign of strength and commitment, while others see it as a sign of weakness and isolation. Regardless of how it is viewed, the story has certainly sparked a much-needed conversation about the place of faith in our modern world.

Southern memories

What do you remember about the South? Is it the smell of jasmine in the air? The sound of cicadas buzzing in the trees? The taste of sweet tea on a hot summer day? The feeling of a warm breeze blowing through your hair? The sight of a sunset over a field of cotton? The sound of a distant train whistle? The feeling of being home?

For many people, the South is a place of warmth, hospitality, and tradition. It is a place where people are known by name, and where community is everything. It is a place where the past is always present, and where the future is always bright.

But the South is also a place of change. The landscape is changing, the economy is changing, and the people are changing. And yet, the essence of the South remains the same. It is a place of resilience, of strength, and of hope.

Where in Buffalo is an old motorcycle and a tank fuelled hanging from the ceiling, with arcade Pac-Man and a pool table waiting downstairs? The rumor is The Backdoor, a popular club, which is currently running with a startling misunderstanding: it's a cult.

Publishing rumors which suggest that the club is a cult, which causes some to label the people who go there as cultists.

"It is not to suggest that it is, mindless cult," Brian Mercer, a member of the youth group who explains that unlike traditional churches, it maintains a more open and free approach to religion, is reminiscent having much fun at a youth group.

Often at the beginning of the youth service, Pastor Anna Sargent, 28, shows them a video. "We show back you," said Charles, a local, most respectful being.

"And then we talk," said Charles. "And then we play games and then we do everything that is useful, and then we go home."

"Pastor Tom is giving a sermon on the topic of the gospel (in speaking and in Hebrew) in a cove in Buffalo township. It is possible a head about how he speaks and if he is, as Tom is, too personal to be, or if he is, as Tom is, too much of a preacher, or if he is, as Tom is, too much of a [unclear]." said James [unclear], a local.

"And indeed, we'll be there once more," said Jack, "and junior Sam [unclear], who fell unexpectedly who is unsure."

Overall, most students had a good opinion of them.

"We'll be back next week," said Charles, a local, who is a regular. The reason that the youth group is named The Backdoor is because nearly everyone, enters the building through the back door. Some people suspected that the name is actually a joke.

"To find the truth we believe you opinions on anything," said Pastor Anna Sargent.

El Nino may bring a warmer summer than usual this year, but that won't stop the marching band. Even when the sun is hot and humidity is high, "The Herd" will be out there marching.

Many music students find marching during the summer is an activity that challenges the musical abilities, teaches discipline and the importance of teamwork. It is also a great way to stay active and build friendships that can last a lifetime. "It's fun," said one band member. "It's hard work, but it's worth it. We're all working together to make something great."

There was great dedication and enthusiasm from the students to play music again this summer," said Kensbo, band director.

The drumline has been working hard on exercises, and the colorguard is also practicing hard. The drumline has been working hard on exercises, and the colorguard is also practicing hard. The colorguard will also be working with an African dance instructor to learn African dances.

"I'm looking forward to seeing new people and presenting what we've worked on hard for the past few months," said one band member.

The first thing the marching band will be doing is going on parades. It is practicing. Rehearsals begin Monday, June 8. Five days before the first football game of the season, the Herd will participate in Buffalo's game on June 13.

"We hope to show this in a higher level this summer," said Kensbo.
