Everyone has the

¨stereotypical¨ fear of

clowns and for some

Americans now these

fears have become

reality. There have

been reports all over

America of “sinister”

clowns that have

made appearances in

woods, fields and

even in people’s

backyards. Claims

have been made of

theses clowns earlier

this year, not causing

much of a scare, but

now the sightings

have reached social

media and have

caused panic in sever-

al counties nation-

wide. The sightings

of the sinister clowns

claimed that they saw

them standing off the

side of the road in a

rural area. Some of

the sightings claim

that clowns have

baseball bats, chains

and even knifes.

There have been re-

ports in and around

Cleveland in the past

month of clowns

chasing residents by a

man dressed in black

wearing a clown mask

and was armed with a

knife. There has been

some reports in

Wayne County but

there was no actual

evidence of threaten-

ing clowns. The real

question posed about

the clowns is if they

are just a hoax to

scare their community

members or actual

threat to people's safe-

ty. There are claims

of clowns in the

Wayne County area

but there has been no

evidence of any

clowns roaming the

streets of our commu-

nity. “I’ve never been

afraid of clowns until

I saw the creepy pic-

tures on Twitter. This

has ruined the happi-

ness and fun of

clowns.” says a senior

at Northwestern, Car-

ley Kandel. The

whole clown fright

has parents, teens and

anyone who finds the

disturbing clowns

frightening afraid to

even leave their

house. As Halloween

is approaching the

fear of clowns roam-

ing around neighbor-

hoods has increased

the risks of parents

sending their children

out to trick-or-treat.

Senior, Kourtney Kline smiles for a picture with her Honorable Mention for Supreme Showman Dairy Holstein

Heifer.

Senior, Katie Stull smiles big after she was crowned the 2016 Wayne County Queen. Her fellow peers Kacie Way,

who was crowned princess; Sydney Harmon and David Miley who received the honor of being on court congratu-

lated their fellow Northwestern peers.

Senior Sydney Harmon was escorted by Kyle Burgan while being crowned as

Northwestern's 2016 Homecoming Queen at Friday’s football game.

All Hail Queen Harmon

2016 Homecoming

The fall musical for

the 2016-2017 school

year is Annie! This

musical is set in the

1930’s and follows

the life of young and

fiery Annie (played

by Anna Martin, So.)

living in a orphanage

runner by Miss Han-

nigan (played by

Kennedy Hoffer, Jr.).

Annie’s horrific situ-

ation quickly turns

around when she is

selected to spend a

short time at the resi-

dence of a wealthy

man, Oliver War-

buck (played by Dyl-

an Stoltz, Sr.).

The musical de-

buts November 18th,

19th and 20th in

2016. The members

of the club are really

excited to present

this musical, as it has

taken a lot of time

and effort to put on

this production! Dyl-

an Stoltz (Oliver

Warbuck) says that,

“Mrs. Crabtree is

taking on a auda-

cious endeavor with

an original Broadway

script this year,

which we all look

forward to being able

to test our acting and

singing skills, and we

all can’t wait for this

production to de-

but!”. And although,

what goes on the

stage is quite im-

portant, what is be-

hind the scenes is

what really makes

the production possi-

ble. Everyone, in-

cluding cast and

crew, is ready to pre-

sent one of their most

favorite musicals this

November!

Broadway or Northwestern High?

On September

21st, the Northwest-

ern FFA traveled to

Triway for the county

soil judging con-

test. Reiley Murphy,

Joey Shaw, David

Agnes, Cody Mor-

row, Luke Chaffee,

Bethanie Schaefer,

Lindsay Ciolek, Bri-

ana Faltisco, Emily

McKayla Linscott,

Lexi Switzer, Carter

Melicant, Cole Mar-

ley, Tate Hixson, An-

drew LeMaster, Aus-

ten Wood, Michael

Nutter, Katie Stull

and Jazon LeMaster

participated in the

Urban Soils Career

Development Event.

Urban soil judging

requires contest

members to calculate

the slope of the soil,

determine soil tex-

ture, and ultimately

determine how fit the

soil is to build a

building on, support a

septic tank, imple-

ment a road or drive-

way, and support

landscaping. The

team placed 1st over-

all, with Stull, Eber-

ly, Wood, Rempher,

and Franks placing in

the top five individu-

al scores for the

chapter.

The Rural Career De-

velopment Event par-

ticipants were Kyle

Piscione, Cody Mor-

row, David Miley,

Brittany Slanczka,

Cody Tegtmeier,

Brock Tegtmeier,

Robert Stinemetz,

and McKayla Lin-

scott. Rural soil judg-

ing tests members’

abilities to calculate

slope, depth of top-

soil, drainage capa-

bilities, and texture of

the soil for rural utili-

zation. They deter-

mine the overall land

capabilities as well as

indicate the recom-

mended best manage-

ment practices for the

plot of land. The

Northwestern Chap-

ter had a good show-

ing, taking 1st as a

team. Individually,

Kyle Piscione earned

1st, David Miley

earned 2nd, McKayla

Linscott was 4th and

Brock Tegtmeier was

5th for the chapter.

Sydney Harmon stole the show by being elected Northwestern High School's Home-coming Queen! Fol-lowing the crowning the football team won huge against the Rittman Indians with

the final score 56-6. The next morning the home-coming planning con-tinued with the stu-dent council decorat-ing the high school gym for the dance later that evening. The homecoming was moved into the gym because there was a record attend-ance of 325 students. This year’s home-coming theme was Harvest Moon and

the theme was car-ried throughout all of the homecoming events. 2016 home-coming was definitely a Homecoming that students, staff, and community members will never forget.

Save the date

for November

8,2016, the day our

government takes a

huge step into histo-

ry. As students of

Northwestern High

school we are very

lucky to witness one

of the biggest elec-

tions in United States

history. Even though

most of us are ineligi-

ble to vote besides

maybe the seniors,

we still need to pay

attention to our gov-

ernment's decisions.

So when we inherit

the duties of our

country's future we

can learn from our

government's past

failures and success-

es. For our republican

nominee we have

Donald J. Trump. He

is a very successful

businessman and is

the C.E.O of The

Trump Organization.

The democratic nom-

inee is Hillary Clin-

ton, which is the first

lady of our former

42nd president of the

United States, Bill

Clinton. Also Hilary

served as the 67th

Secretary of State.

The basis behind Hil-

lary's campaign is

that she promises to

fight for equal pay,

she will raise mini-

mum wage, and will

not raise middle class

taxes. While Trump's

campaign thinks the

government must cut

spending, deport all

undocumented indi-

viduals, and to repeal

and replace Obama

Care. To get a better

understanding on the

election we have ask

some teachers and

students of North-

western High School,

what their thoughts

were on this year's

election. A freshman,

Allie Kandel told us,

“If I were 18 or older

I would not vote in

this election”, a soph-

omore, Cole Marley

commented,“ Trump

2K16!!”. Now to the

teacher's point of

view, when we asked

Mr. Martin what his

thoughts were, he

stated “ I’m pretty

depressed about this

year's election”.

Mr.Thut’s thoughts

were, “The top two

candidates make it

the most difficult

presidential election

in my 30 years of be-

ing able to vote”. It's

safe to say most peo-

ple are dreading this

election and are

scared to see who

takes office. So after

reading your peers

thoughts on the elec-

tion, the question is

who do you want in

office.

Recently

NFL quarterback

Colin Kaepernick

has been kneeling or

sitting for the Na-

tional Anthem,

claiming “He will

not stand up to show

pride for a flag that

oppresses black peo-

ple and other people

of color,” (Wyche).

However we firmly

believe that Kaeper-

nick doesn't realize

the extent of disre-

spect his protest

shows. Sure our

country has issues

with police brutality

in some cases, but

that does not mean

every police shoot-

ing is due to racism

and evil police offic-

ers. And most im-

portantly, Kaeper-

nick is disrespecting

the soldiers that died

protecting our coun-

try every day. Yes,

Collin’s protest has

the media’s atten-

tion, but is it really

making a difference

for the better good?

It’s wonder-

ful that an NFL play-

er is standing up for

something he firmly

believes in and is

willing to take on all

of the oppression

that comes with it.

However it’s like the

“ALS Ice Bucket

Challenge” all over

again., as explained

by Master Sgt.

Cedric King while

talking with ESPN

staff writer David

Newton. Kaepernick

is raising awareness

for a good cause but

is doing nothing else

to make a difference

for that cause. In the

“Ice Bucket Chal-

lenge” people every-

where where dump-

ing cold buckets of

water over their head

claiming they were

trying to help raise

awareness for ALS

to help find a cure.

But out of all those

people, how many

do you think actually

contributed money

or other means of

assistance to help

with that deadly dis-

ease? The majority

of the “Ice Bucket

Challengers” just got

wet and what started

as a good idea turned

into a social publici-

ty stunt. We feel that

Kaepernick’s protest

started out as a good

idea to make a dif-

ference but it

stopped there and

turned more into a

social act. Just kneel-

ing for the National

Anthem will not fix

anything, it just in-

furiates the patriot in

all of us because

everyone has their

own version of what

the stars and stripes

stand for.

Overall

Kaepernick’s protest

is spreading like

wildfire but only in

the fact that players

everywhere are

kneeling for the Na-

tional Anthem. Just

like the “Ice Bucket

Challenge” people

are outwardly

spreading awareness

but the movement

stops there. What

they should be doing

instead is respecting

the flag that our

troops died to protest

by standing for the

anthem for those

who cant, and then if

the players feel so

passionately about

racial injustice, they

should devote their

time and money to

helping the cause.

“Can’t Stand” Kaepernick

A Memorable Election

By: Jordan Gilbert

and Abby Ford

Smoking in

the U.S is not al-

lowed in public plac-

es such as stores, res-

taurants, and so on. It

also controls every

aspect of your life

which includes your

time, your health and

even how you spend

your money the list

goes on and on.

Smoking is linked to

many diseases such

as lung cancer which

can lead to breathing

problems and even

death. Thankfully,

Nicotine smoking has

gone down among

teens in the U.S, but

vape and/or e-

cigarettes are at an all

time high. Upon fur-

ther research, certain

brands of vapor liq-

uids may contain

Nicotine, which is

also found in a regu-

lar cigarette. They

also can cause the

same problems as

cigarettes but less

severe. Unlike vapor,

Cigarettes sometimes

contain tar which is

toxic but won’t in-

stantly kill you. Upon

burning a cigarette,

you are releasing

over 4,000 toxic

chemicals into your

body that are slowly

shutting down your

respiratory system.

Smoking Cigarettes

can cause Coronary

heart disease, stroke,

and even cause blood

circulation problems.

Smoking slows

breathing which re-

duces blood flow to

the limbs. This can

lead to blood clots

developing in your

veins and even in

your brain, and if the

blood clots burst it

may cause a stroke or

even death.

Second-hand

smoking is just as

bad as smoking a cig-

arette directly, the

smoke that you are

breathing in contains

many carcinogens

which can cause

health problems

worse than smoking

yourself. The reason

why second-hand

smoke is even worse

than first-hand smok-

ing is because the

chemicals you are

breathing in are not

being filtered through

the tip on the end of

cigarette. Second-

hand smoking can be

linked to COPD, em-

physema, and chron-

ic bronchitis. Smok-

ing can cause cancer

in almost any part of

your body. Examples

include: Bladder,

Blood (acute myeloid

leukemia), Cervix,

Colon and rectum

(colorectal), Esopha-

gus, Kidney and ure-

ter, Larynx, Liver,

Oropharynx

(includes parts of the

throat, tongue, soft

palate, and the ton-

sils), Pancreas, Stom-

ach, Trachea, Bron-

chus, and Lung can-

cers (Centers for Dis-

ease Control and

Prevention (CDC)).

Although

smoking e-cigarettes

and even vaping can

cause the same prob-

lems as regular ciga-

rettes, most teens use

them only for enter-

tainment and tricks.

Most teens and even

adults think they are

healthier for you than

regular cigarettes but

little do they know

they are just as bad.

They don’t even real-

ize what they are do-

ing to their body, just

because they want to

look cool or “fit in”

with the crowd. In

these e-cigarettes and

vapes, there are dan-

gerous chemicals that

are sometimes even

worse than smoking

a regular cigarette.

Most companies that

make vaping fluid,

tell you that there is

no diacetyl in their

liquids, but most lie

about that statement.

Harvard University

did a research project

about the effects of e-

cigarettes and how

most companies still

use the diacetyl

chemical in their

vaping liquids. They

found that 39 out of

51 samples tested for

the diacetyl chemi-

cal, came back posi-

tive (Raquel

Rutledge of the Jour-

nal Sentinel). That’s

a crazy amount of

companies that are

lying about their

products and that’s

why they shouldn’t

be trusted.

Any form of smoking

is bad for you wheth-

er it is smoking regu-

lar cigarettes, cigars

or even vaping.

There are still harm-

ful effects to both no

matter which you

chose to do. The best

advice is to just never

smoke, and just say

no. If you do smoke,

then all you can do to

save yourself from

even more harmful

effects is to stop or

work your way into

the process of quit-

ting. If you smoke

you're shortening

your lifespan by 14

years (CDC). Is this

really how you want

to live your life?

Smoking and Vaping Among

Teens

By: Erin Gordon

October 11,

2016 will forever be

a memorable date for

senior Carley Kan-

del. Kandel scored

her 100th career

goal against Triway

on Northwestern’s

senior night. As the

ball hit the back of

the net for the 100th

time in her career,

she also made histo-

ry. This was the first

time that any athlete

in the state of Ohio

had score 100 goals

in soccer and 1,000

points in basketball.

Carley Kandel will

leave her mark not

only at Northwestern

but on the state of

Ohio’s record board.

Carley Kandel was

also named Tri-

County's leading all

time sorcerer with

104 goals. She is not

only an all star ath-

lete but is also a su-

per star in the class-

room. Carley is cur-

rently taking classes

at Ashland Universi-

ty and is involved in

several extra curricu-

lar activities. Carley

Kandel will leave a

lasting footprint on

Northwestern for

years to come. “I'm

honored to have all

of these records, but

records are meant to

be broken. I cant

wait to see the future

of Northwestern ath-

letes and the growth

of the game.” said

Carley Kandel.
