Ways to Stay
Warm in Winter
By Jacob Wirz
All of us have experienced
The Warrior
the harsh unforgiving cold of
winter. Sometimes no matter what
you do, you can’t seem to warm
up. These are some tips that will
hopefully keep you from suffering.
Most
of your body
het is lost
through your
head
and
feet, so it’s
good to wear
a thick hat
and socks.
Wool
is
probably the
best material
to go with,
wool is a
great insulater
and it does not absorb moisture,
it wisks moisture away. Mittens are better than gloves
because with mittens your fingers
are together and sharing heat.
It helps to get in a good
workout in the morning; if you get
the blood pumping throughout
your body, you will be warmer. Also caffeinated drinks
will increase blood flow making you
feel warmer but you will be losing
heat. Alcohol has the same effect so
neither are good options.
The best thing to do is to
drink decaffeinated drinks like tea
and eat regular healthy meals like
stew, these are good choices.
There are also some cheap
ways to keep your house nice and
warm as well. You should close off
unused
rooms,
even putting old
towels
at
the
bottom of the door
so the heat doesn’t
escape through the
crack works well.
You
should
open up your
curtains to let in
as much sunlight
as possible. Make
sure your home
is air sealed to
prevent drafts, and if
you have one use a humidifier.
Also simple things like lighting
candles and leaving your oven door
open after baking work well too.
Keep in mind that water retains heat
for long time, so putting hot water
in a water bottle and doing things
like putting it at the foot of your bed
is an effective way to stay warm at
night.
Germs
Everywhere
By Jack Ince
The Flu
season
is recurring time period
(October-May) when the
frequency of outbreaks of
influenza, this season occurs
during the winter months.
The cold weather
helps the spread of the flu,
for example the decrease
in temperatures allows
the virus to live longer on
surfaces and the drier air
due to the cold weather
dehydrates the skin; this
makes it easier for the virus
to penetrate. The cold weather also
causes more people to spend an
increased amount of time indoors;
this causes them to be in closer
contacts which allows the virus to
move from person to person easily.
Everybody has had the flu
at one time in their lives, but what
is the best way to avoid it in the
future?
To begin with a good
precaution is to get yourself
vaccinated for the flu.
Other ideas to keep healthy:
•
Wash
your
hands
frequently
•
Avoid contact with sick
people

•
Avoid touching your eyes,
nose, or mouth: germs travel this
way
•
Practice good health habits,
get plenty of sleep, and manage
your stress.
If you are sick:
•
Cover your nose and mouth
when you sneeze and throw away
the tissue
•
Wash your hands even
more than usual
•
Stay home for at least 24
hours after your fever is gone,
without the use of medicine that
reduces your fever
Concussions
by Jake Wirtz
Student Opinions
Soccer
By Craig Ritcher
I think that the Amery school district
should give the both boys and girls soccer
more funding and cut some funding to
football. Soccer is a growing sport in the US.
America every year is becoming more diverse
with people coming moving here from all parts
of the word where the main sport is soccer.
Recent studies show that number of fans of
soccer is up from 26 Percent of Americans in
2002 to 34.6 percent of Americans 2012.
Plus Amery soccer has been more
successful than the football team soccer is
conference camp the past decade and football
being conference camp, one time in 2001. This
year Amery football had a record of 1-8 coming
in last in the conference soccer had a record
12-5-2 record and came in 3rd in conference.
Another reason soccer should get
more funding is because we have more games
Music
than football. Soccer has 17 regular season
by Jack Ince
I believe that listening to music should be games and comparing to football with only 9
encouraged; listening to music has many benefits which games.
could help students at school. For example slow music
relaxes people and causes a decrease in respiration rate
and heartbeat.
The American Society of Hypertension in New
Orleans did a study that came to a similar conclusion of
listening to classical, raga, or Celtic music for 30 minutes
every day can significantly reduce high blood pressure.
Another benefit of listening to music is that it helps cure
chronic headaches and migraines. A study done by Levitin and their colleagues saw
that listening to relaxing music resulted in less anxiety
compared to anti-anxiety medicine. Techniques like this
have been used for thousands of years. Relaxing music
should with a slow temp, although if your used to rock
you may not find it relaxing.
I believe that the problem of concussions can be
greatly reduced without drastically changing the sport
itself.
A concussion is an injury that generally occurs
when someone suffers a blow to the head. Symptoms
of concussions include forgetfulness, dizziness, headache,
inability to concentrate, and/or fatigue.
I do realize that there are some rules in sports
that were necessary, for example in 1976 the National
Collegiate Athletic Association made tackling with the
head illegal. But I do not believe that removing certain
plays in football, not letting players head the ball in soccer,
or increasing the age requirement for hitting in hockey,
is the proper way to take action against concussions.
Accidents in sports do happen so I think it’s best to teach
players the proper rules and techniques to reduce impacts
like these.
Support Band
by Emily Maier
I would like to bring some
recognition to Amery High School’s
band. Each member has worked
extremely hard and has reached many
achievements as a whole. I’ve heard
many of the band members say they
feel as if they are not appreciated
or recognized nearly as much as our
sports teams. The band is just as great
and hardworking.
I believe we should have more
pride in what our band members do and
the effort they put in to representing
our school.
They do well in many events
that we simply do not praise in the way
we praise our athletes. So, for once
let’s give the band the support and
attention they deserve.
Congratulations to
all of the students
advancing to STATE
competitions!
Futsal
Time Fun
Driving on Icy Roads Warrior
by Adam Johnson
Futsal is a variation of association
football it is played on a smaller field
and is mainly played indoors. Futsal is
played with a size 4 ball, players on the
field for one team is 5 one being the
goalie. Players must wear numbered
shirts, shorts, socks, protective shinguards and footwear with rubber
soles.
Games are two periods of 20
minutes clock is stopped whenever
the ball goes out of bounds, There is
kick-ins instead of throw- ins. Goal
keepers must throw the ball instead of
punt it, the ball cannot be thrown past
half field. Players defending free kicks
must be five meters away from the ball.
There is no offside.
History of US futsal, the origin
of futsal can be followed back to
Montevideo, Uruguay in 1930 when
Juan Carlos Certain devised a fivea-side version of soccer for youth
completion in YMCAs. The game is
played on basketball-sized courts.
The term FUTSAL is the international
term used for the game. It is derived
from the Spanish or Portuguese word
for “soccer”. U.S. futsal was funded
in 1981 and incorporated in January,
1983. Osvaldo Garcia became its first
president.
The first world championship was
called fifiausa then in 1989 it changed
to FIFA. Brazil is the remains to be the
futsal capital of the world. In 1984 the
US national team beat Canada 6-5 and
in 1985 they won against Australia 9-5.
U.S. Futsal has conducted a
National Championship each year since
1985.
If you’re a student of Amery High, driving
conditions probably affect you by how you drive
or get to school. The teachers and students I have
talked to about this subject all have said just simply
drive safe. Amery High Student Adam Johnson said:
“If you know how to drive you will be fine.” Sonny
Anderson said: ‘I drive safe and slow when conditions
are dangerous.’
Some ways to help prevent accidents would be
driving slow. Another good way to help good driving
on bad conditions is to pay attention to the weather;
awareness will make you be more prepared. You
should also go easy on your brakes, your ABS does
not work well on ice. The best way to help driving
on icy roads is try not to take unnecessary trips. In
my conclusion the best way is to drive slow and not
drive if you don’t need to.
By Craig Richter
By: Jordan Feyen
Here is the view down Minneapolis Avenue in front
of the school. The roads are covered with ice and
snow.
Would you like to see games
during warrior time? Well that is exactly
what our Student Council President
wants to do for us. Christian Hoyer is our
Student Council President.
In an interview with Christian
he said “I haven’t been president long
enough to assume full presidential
duties, but in time I will work alongside
the student council to arrange fun
activities for AHS.”
One of the “fun activities” is to
have games set up during warrior time.
So far this is the only information he has
given out.
North Twin Ice
Fishing Contest
by George Bonsness
North Twin Lake is a 135 acre lake
located in Amery WI. It is the maximum
depth of 27feet. This lake provides
fishing year round with a annual ice
fishing contest held by St. Joseph’s
Catholic Church. The boat launch is
located right of main street near North
Park.
The lake is big enough to allow
skiers and fisherman to enjoy the lake
at the same time. North Twin lake has
a good supply of: Sunfish, Large Mouth
Bass, Northern Pike, Crappie, Bluegill,
Bullheads, and Walleye. If you don’t
have a boat it is okay because there are
several public docks on the lake.
The fishing contest was held
on the last week of January. Cash
prizes were awarded in the categories
of Walleye, Northern, Bass, Crappie,
Sunfish, Perch, along with a raffle.
Spotlight on Sports
and More
SPEAK
By: Jakeb Wirtz
If you are in a sport
or club here at Amery High
School, it’s more than likely
you will need uniforms or apparel related to what you do.
One of the few places
here in town you can go for
custom clothing, sportswear,
sporting equipment, trophies, and plaques is Sports
and More. Owned by Ann
Lange and Heather Wirtz,
Sports and More got its start
in January of 2009. Sports
and More have done hundreds of shirts just for this
school alone, most recently
they were the ones who did
the Dawg House shirts.
Several people were
asked specific questions
about their opinions of
Sports and More,
most of them said that they
like how the local sports shop
has an overall broad, cheap,
and convenient assortment
of items for sale.
As for improvements
some people feel they should
either advertise their presence a little more or have
higher quality sporting equipment for sale. As a final opinion on the matter each person was asked the question “Do you feel they
contribute something to the
community?” Sunny Anderson responded to the question with “Yes, they contribute a small, but effective
sporting store.”
What do you think about
the AHS Cheering Section?
Sonny Anderson
“I’ve never been to a
game.”
AHS students showed their school spirit at a recent Boys Basketball game.
AHS Red Out
By Sonny Anderson
In High school basketball,
the “sixth man” is a term referring
to the fans attempting to influence
the game by cheering and
chanting for their team of choice.
The fan section is referred to as
the “sixth man”, because they are
considered the sixth “player” of
their basketball team. High school
and college student sections
are numerous across the United
States, and many share the same
characteristics, such as similar
chants and similar behaviors.
The “sixth man” has taken
the role of cheering to a higher
and more intense level. The main
goal is to be so loud that their
team gets pumped up, and the
opposing team gets intimidated.
Most squads choose to stand up
during the whole game. Sixth
man squads assemble themselves
together across the United
States. Like their collegiate
counterparts, high school squads
wear matching shirts, costumes,
and name themselves based on
their mascot.
High school sixth man
clubs are able to have the largest
impact on the games because the
size of the gym is much smaller
than its college counterpart. Sixth
man squads organize themselves
sometimes inches away from the
court and work to intimidate their
opponents personally. Player-fan
interactions occur a lot because of
this.
Our own schools fan
section, The Dawg House,
prides themselves on being
obnoxious, loud, and in some
ways intimidating. In the heat of
a game, a home crowd can make
the difference between your team
winning, or losing.

Upcoming Amery
Track and Field
Season
By Sonny Anderson
The 2014 Track and
Field season is just around the
corner, and Amery runners,
jumpers, and throwers are all
preparing themselves in the
offseason to make this year a
great one! In 2013, the Amery
Track team as a whole experienced a season that was full
of upside, and surprises. After sending the Boys
4x800 meter relay and the
Girls 4x200 meter relay teams
to state. Head Coaches Justin
Schuh, Kelsey Faschingbauer,
and the rookie Sprinting coach
Stacie Grimm are looking to
take even more individuals and
teams to La Crosse this year.
State competition runner
from last year, Tanner Wears,
said that he is “beyond excited”
for this upcoming season. Tanner also stated that, “This season
could be one of the successful
seasons in some years if all the
runners, jumpers, and throwers
fulfill their fullest potentials.”
There will be lots of tough
competition in the Middle Border Conference this season, but
Amery is hoping to come out on
top.
The Dawg House, we all know
that is the name of our fan section
during sporting events. But Sonny
Anderson, one of the head cheerleaders of our fan section, says its
more than that. “The Dawg House
gives us an identity. As soon as you
come into our school you become a
Warrior, so why not give yourself a
new name at a sporting event and
become a Dawg?”
A lot of people ask the question, why do you call yourselves
the Dawg House, it doesn’t make
sense?..It doesn’t need to make
sense, as long as you are having fun.
That’s what matters.
The DAWG HOUSE!

FBLA Stories to Share Community Service Project
Amery High School FBLA Members recently completed a Community Service Project called “Stories to
Share.” Book donations were collected
from the community with drop boxes
at several locations in town including
WESTConsin Credit Union, ARMC, Chet
Johnson Drug, the Intermediate School,
and the Middle School.
The FBLA members then sorted
the books, prepared treat bags, and
coordinated with the Public Library to
read and distribute the books to preschool age children. On Friday, February 14, FBLA members read stories
to the children at the library and gave
them all books to take home along with
a bag of goodies. The event was a success and the FBLA members really enjoyed reading with the kids.
The FBLA members in charge of

How to Make a
McDouble
by George Bonsness
Have you ever wondered how
your McDouble is produced? First you
are going to have the correct supplies.
First you need to have two cooked
10:1 patties that temp out at about
170 degrees.
Second of all you need to drop
the bun down the toaster. It will take
about 25 seconds for it to be completely toasted. After that you put the
bun on the appropriate wrapper/box.
Next Add ketchup, mustard,
pickle, onion to the top of the bun. On
the bottom bun you put one slice of
American cheese.
After that is done its time to
put 2 10:1 patties on the top bun with
the slice of cheese in-between. After
that you wrap the sandwich and your
McDouble is complete.
