Repo men 2010 April 2

In the future humans have extended and improved our lives through highly     sophisticated and expensive mechanical organs created by a company called “The Union”. The dark side of these medical breakthroughs is that if you don’t pay your bill, “The Union” sends its highly skilled repo men to take back its property… with no concern for your comfort or survival. Former soldier Remy is one of the best organ repo men in the business. But when he suffers a cardiac failure on the job, he awakens to find himself fitted with the company’s top-of-the-line heart-replacement… as well as a hefty debt. But a side effect of the procedure is that his heart’s no longer in the job. When he can’t make the payments, The Union sends its toughest enforcer, Remy’s former partner Jake, to track him down.

At only 23 years old, Shaun White has accomplished more than more will ever dream of.  Coming out of San Diego California Shaun started revolutionizing the sport of snowboarding at an early age.  Burton noticed the skill and potential of the young Shaun White, and sponsored him at the age of 13.  With the support from Burton, he turned Pro at the age 13.

After winning five national titles as an amateur, Shaun captured his first major win as a pro in 2001 at the Arctic Challenge. He earned his first Winter X Games medal when he was 16, and between Slopestyle and Superpipe hasn’t failed to stand on the Winter X podium since. Between skateboarding and snowboarding Shaun now holds 16 X Games medals, and a record 10 of them are gold.

Shaun recently competed in the 2010 Winter Olympics, and represented the United States well by bringing home the gold medal in snowboard half-pipe. Shaun White continues to push the sport of snowboarding to heights never thought possible.

The 2010 winter olympic games are well under way. Team U.S.A. is leading the medal count so far by three over Germany who is in second and they are ten ahead of Norway who is third. Canada is in six place with only nine medals. Canada has invested 100 million dollars into and ad campaign  to have Canada “Own the Podium”. If the united States can keep its lead it will be the first time since the 1932 Lake Placid winter olympics that team U.S.A. will be a top the medal count.

Wilmot Mountain at Sunset

We all surely know that our little groundhog friend saw his shadow–which means 6 more weeks of winter. However, Wilmot Mountain is literally feeling the heat. With spring in sight, there are only a few more weeks left in this ski season. The projected time left for the local ski resort is down to 2-4 weeks. So if you are a ski/snowboarding fanatic, now is your chance to get in before the season ends. With the warming temperatures, the ride will be comfortable, but that means that the snow base is depleting. Your chance to ski or snowboard is almost over. Get in your fun before the sun gets here!

Again this year our DECA chapter will be travelling to the Grand Geneva Resort for the annual DECA state competition on March 9th through the 11th. This year our chapter will be represented by eight students, which are:

Seniors- Kailee Wahler, Courtney White, and Nick Crifase

Juniors – Cody Guetzow, Ashley Dargan, Sara Dillon, Kelly ONeill,  and Ben Hejhal

They will be participating in various business and marketing categories and each competitor will have to do two role plays and will have to take two tests. Best of luck to all competitors in state!

Do you have a study hall or two that you could careless for? Ever wondered what it would be like to work alongside one of your favorite teachers? Then the Panther Educational Assistant Program, which is commonly known as Teacher Assisting (TA), may be for you!

TAing gives students the opportunity to work closely with teachers and other personnel here at WUHS. Although the program is offered to only Juniors and Seniors, exceptions are made for freshman and sophomores if they are approved by the administration.  There are four catagories in which you can apply for: Peer tutoring, office assistance, IT assistance, and teacher assistance.

Each job comes with it’s own set of duties and responsibilities. You also earn parts of a credit through these jobs. They are as follows:

• Peer Tutoring: 1/2 credit per semester. Enrollment into this program requires a teacher and school counselor approval.The duties for this job are self explanatory.
• Office Assistant: 1/4 credit per semester. This job includes working in the student services office (Guidance) and the main office (Attendance). Duties for this job are: sorting mail, answering phones, filing, sorting, running messages to classrooms, etc. This position requires office personnel and school counselor approval.

• Teacher Assistant: 1/4 credit per semester. This job consists of working under teachers in the following departments: P.E., Tech Ed., Family and Consumer Education, Band, School Store, and any other lab based classes.

• IT Assistant: 1/4 credit per semester. Duties for this job consist of pc repairs and set up, tracking AV equipment, etc. This position requires approval from the IT department.

*Becoming a TA is that these jobs look good on a college application and raises your level of work experience in the eyes of future employers.

In order to be sign up for these jobs, students must be on course to graduate with their graduating class and 11 credits after Sophomore year or 17 credits after Junior year.

Applications for the program are located in the Guidance office. They must be filled out and turned in within the first 10 days of each semester. Sadly, the due date for this semester has already passed. But be sure to sign up next year panthers!
