Let’s All Square Dance!
By Dominique Laubach
Ah… the second marking period
has finally ended. Several eager students
looked forward to the beginning of the second semester.
Schedules have been
changed, lunch periods have been switched,
and new friends have been made. However, this also means that square dancing
has officially begun!
Every year, square dancing is offered to students in the beginning of the
second semester. In the past years, many
students have taken pleasure in the five day
class. Many students deem it an “easy
grade.” There isn’t a test to be completed all you have to do it dance! This year, however, many students seem to have mixed
feelings about square dancing. Are students enjoying square dancing like they
used to in the past? Looking around the
gym, it’s very obvious to see who enjoys it Cassie Weymouth, Evan Bletz, Loryn
Haas and Tyler Irvin demonstrate
and who does not.

There isn’t a rule about specific clothing that is individuals might not like who their partner is, but when

PB Banned from
Cafeteria due to
Salmonella
By Stephanie Smith
It’s peanut-butter
jelly time, peanut-butter
jelly time, peanut-butter
jelly time!! This song
probably wouldn’t make
sense if the peanut butter
wasn’t in there just as the
peanut-butter is being
taken out of our cafeteria.
The Nutrition
Group (which is our food
service provider) has decided that no food products
with peanut-butter in them
will be served in our school
due to the outbreak of salmonella. This includes peanut-butter jelly sandwiches
and the peanut-butter chip
granola bars.
“We have 13 items
a day that the students can
choose from” says Lorie
Berry, the head cook of
Jersey Shore Senior High.
Peanut Corp. has
recalled all of its products
from Blakely Georgia as of
January 2009 after they
were linked to a state-wide
salmonella outbreak that
has killed 8 and sickened
500 so far. This outbreak
has spread to more than 40
states and has caused
nearly 20% of its victims to
be hospitalized. A big clue
to the outbreak was found
in a five pound jar of King
Nut’s unopened peanut
butter that was found in
Minnesota.
Salmonella is an
organism which can cause
serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems.
Healthy persons infected
with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea
(which may be bloody),
nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. In rare circumstances, infection with
Salmonella can result in
the organism getting into
the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis and
arthritis.
Until this outbreak
has been deemed under
control our cafeteria is going to play it safe and not
serve any peanut butter
products, for the safety of
the students and staff.
“We will allow peanut butter to be back on
the menu when the government says it’s safe,” said
Lorie.

Idol Updated
By Cassie Weymouth
It’s the dead of winter, Christmas is over, and
you’re looking for something to occupy your time
until warmer weather returns. One of America’s favorite shows, American Idol, has a new season that
started on January 14.
Producers have changed things up this year
with a fourth judge added to the panel. Joining
Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul, and
Randy Jackson is new
judge Kara
DioGuardi.
The
first auditions were
held in Phoenix, Arizona. As usual, the auditions were both amazing and amusing. Judge Randy Jackson said he is
impressed with the talent that the males have shown.
Jackson said, "The boys have the edge right
now. We’ll see who holds up through the test of time,
you know what I mean, because it’s a little early to
really tell now, but I think the boys have the edge."
Every year American Idol has the good singers and the bad singers. It’s always surprising to see
who gets to advance to the next round, which will be
in Hollywood. For example, one girl was given a
golden ticket to go to Hollywood after showing up to
audition in a bikini. Unfortunately for the male population, she was sent home after a drama-filled audition in Hollywood.
The show also gives us a look at the stories
behind those who audition. For example, one man
planned to audition last season but a few days before
the audition, his wife passed away. He returned this
year to audition, instantly wowed the judges, and
packed his bags for Hollywood.
Even if you’re really not into reality TV, you
should at least catch a few of the shows just to get a
good laugh. Who knows? Maybe you’ll watch the next
big star.

Prom Is Right Around the Corner
By Ashley Weaver
Get ready to dance! The
prom will be here in a few months.
Soon will be the time to rent your
tuxes guys. Girls get ready to shop
for that perfect dress and the perfect
accessories. It is never too early to
plan the party. The early bird gets
the worm so you should plan that
limo ride through town in advance.
If you don’t have enough money you
can always combine a few couples
into one limo for split amounts.
If money is too tight for the
girls to get their dresses you can talk
to Mrs. Riggle in order to get a cute
dress cheap. February 19th is the date
to buy them. If you have a dress that
you need to get rid of and it is in
good shape then you can give it to
her so it can help make some other
girl’s prom dreams come true.

Who’s that Cherub with the Arrow?
By Kaitlyn Welteroth
It’s Valentine’s Day again,
and you are probably hoping that
Cupid will shoot his arrow your
way. According to legend, if Cupid
shoots an arrow at you, you will fall
in love with the next person you see.
Cupid is also known around the
world as the God of Love and has
become one of the most famous
Valentine’s Day symbols. It is
thought that Cupid plays the main
role in most love connections
around Valentine’s Day. Here is his story.
There was a very beautiful mortal woman
named Psyche. Venus, a goddess, was very jealous of
Psyche, and she then ordered Cupid to punish Psyche.
When Cupid went to punish her, he fell
madly in love with her. He asked her to
be his wife, but since Cupid was a god
and Psyche was a mortal, she was not
permitted to look at him. Psyche talked
to her sisters about the problem and
they told her to sneak a glance at Cupid, and as soon as she did, he left her.
Cupid also made their castle and gardens disappear and Psyche was found
alone in an open field.
As Psyche was wandering
around she came upon Venus’s temple.
Venus gave her a few tasks to complete
with hopes that Psyche would fail. Venus gave her a little box to collect a few things with during her journey;
she was told to not open the box. But instead of following the instructions she disobeyed, just like the last

Siford February Athlete of the Month
By Samantha Englert
Tanya Siford has been chosen as Paw
Print’s female Athlete of the Month due to her
outstanding performances in the past basketball
games. Tanya has been playing basketball for
about seven years. She hopes to get her first double-double, which is when a player has a doubledigit score and double-digit assists or rebounds,
before the end of the season. Tanya’s goals for
this season inculde going to districts and now to
just finish the season strong.
“This season has been rocky but we
really do have a great team, even though our record doesn’t show it,” says Tanya.
Tanya is honored to be chosen as Athlete
of the Month for February. She plans to not only
attend college but play there as well. Her choices
include Penn College or Bloomsburg. Her advice
for younger players is “to play every game like it’s
their last one, because eventually it’ll be your last
game,” and to “not put your head down if you
make a mistake; just keep playing.”
Thompson February Athlete of Month
By Stephanie Smith
Clay Thompson has been swimming for
almost 13 years of his life. His personal stats for
the year are: 50 yard free- 23 seconds and 100
yard free- 51 seconds. He hopes to make states
and nationals this year.
“I think our team is doing pretty good,”
said Thompson, “considering how many kids we
have.”
When asked if he would continue swimming in college he said it depends on what college he attends. He hopes to go to Bloomsburg.
His advice for younger swimmers is
“Keep on keeping on.”
Steelers Victorious in Super Bowl XLIII
By Corey Myers
The Super Bowl is arguably the best show in
sports, with its funny commercials and halftime shows
not to mention the game. Plenty of people watch the
game with their families and friends, and the Super
Bowl is a time for eating good party foods like chips and
dip, wings and pizza.
This year was the Pittsburgh Steelers against the
Arizona Cardinals in an odd turn of events many people
were rooting for the Cardinals to upset the hometown
favorite. Larry Fitzgerald was the big star leading up to
the Super Bowl, but in the end the Steelers prevailed
and an emerging star came forward in Santonio Holmes.
The Steelers wide out caught the game-winning pass in
a 27-23 victory in what could be one of the best Super
Bowls ever.

‘Taken’ Best Action Movie of New Year

When Bryan Mills (Liam

If you’re big on action movies, this is a must see. It’s got everything from explosions, to fight
scenes and everything in-between.
This movie actually has a storyline
and you will be on the edge of your

There are a few moments when I

the best action movies I’ve seen in a

Obama Sparks Debate on Abortion
By Kylie Starr
The ideas of abortion rights have been thrown
back and forth in this country for ages. Whether you are
pro-life or pro-abortion you must agree that it is a very
controversial issue. Recently, Obama has revoked the
Bush administration’s ban on giving federal money to
international groups that perform abortions or giving
out abortion information. This in return caused a lot of
debate between liberals and conservatives.
Liberals argue that the Bush administration’s
policy was being discriminatory against the poor by denying information about abortion, HIV/AIDs, and
groups that may perform abortions. This consequently
led to the closing of clinics in rural areas.
Conservatives believe that it is morally wrong to
use American tax payers’ money to pay for something
that some may consider immoral. Therefore, if you are
pro-life and have strong beliefs your tax money will be
forced into the new policy.
This could be a positive thing for America. First
there is the population control issue, population will
now be under control if someone may decide they are
not ready to be a parent or bear a child. Second, recently raped women may now choose to get an abortion
for free for something they could not control. This is
one of the best outcomes of this new improved policy.
Also, young adults and teenagers who do not think before they act and are stuck with the consequence may
now have a new choice of what to do.
If this right was ever taken away women would
probably go back to what they did in the past with abortions. They would perform their own procedures which
are dangerous and life threatening. If somebody wants
something bad enough and it is illegal nothing is going
to stop them from getting it. With this new decision by
the Obama administration women can now afford and
be safer with these procedures.
America is the home of the free, so why not allow women the right to choose? It is their body. If they
don’t agree with abortions then they will not get one, but
some do and will. If a women’s right to choose is taken
away it is a total one-eighty from the fact that we are a
free country. Times are changing and along with that so
do our laws and policies.
