MR. KARLSBy: Tone Spears

Mr. Karl's is The Lockwood School Science Teacher, but he is currently also going to school to become a school counselor. Mr Karl's wants to help kids because he likes to see students feel successful in academic and social settings. He would help the kids by listen and advocate. “So often it is easy to forget the basic hu-man need is someone to talk to, and I want to be that person for any student,” said Mr. Karls. He decided to do counseling instead of science because he found himself, “Naturally counseling students throughout the day in my classroom, and that I really enjoyed it.” His education is a Bachelors of Science, 5-12 Broadfield Science Teaching. He needs a Masters of K-12 School Counseling to do counseling. He went into education instead of counseling because he never thought about being a counselor until he started building relationships with students and found himself more drawn to help-ing the student than teaching the science content. He currently spends part of his school day counseling both middle school and 3-5 grade students.

“BEEING” A GREAT SPELLER IS EASY FOR SOME KIDSBy: Elora Yanzick

Recently Lockwood School held a district school spelling bee. It was very exciting for the 51 participants, but for Noah Crane, Kiowa Laverdure, Brennan O’ Donnell, and Paisley Schwartz it was astonishing. In the beginning you would have never guessed who would have won, all those brave 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th graders were giving it their very best. Then, one by one the spellers were eliminated. When it finally came down to the final rounds, Noah Crane and Kiowa Laverdure were competing for first place and for Kiowa it was a brand new extraordinary experience. He described it by saying “it felt like I got hit by a bus.” On the other hand, for Noah Crane it was just another spelling bee to win, because just a couple years before Noah won the 2016 spelling bee! In conclusion, all of the participants in this years’ 2018 Middle School Spelling Bee did an amazing job. We wish good luck to Noah Crane, the first place winner, Kiowa Laverdure the second place winner, and Brennan O’ Donnell the third place winner, in the 2018 Yellowstone County Spelling Bee.

WINTER OLYMPICS SNOWBOARDINGBy: Colter Watts

Today we are talking about Olympic snowboarding. There are five sports that men and women do but at different times. The first sport they do is Giant Paral-lel Slalom event. It is a giant slope with gates going down the hill. Snowboarders have to snowboard down the hill going in and out of gates. The second sport is the Half Pipe. It is where you go down in between a semi circle and go up the sides to get air time and per-form stunts. The third event is this parallel slalom. It is like the first sport we talked about. The fourth sport is Slopestyle. It is a course of a whole bunch of rails and jumps they have to do to get down the hill and get points on how they do going down the hill. The fifth sport is snowboard cross. It is 5 people race down a hill going up hills and around corners at 70 mph. The Win-ter Olympics have a lot more than just snowboarding so go check them out.

BOBSLEDDINGBy: MacKinzy Ruff

Bobsledding is the sport of sliding down an ice-covered natural or artificial incline on a four-runner sled, called a bobsled, bobsleigh, or bob, that carries either two or four people. Bobsledding developed in the 1880s in the lumbering towns of upstate New York. The sport earned its name after competitors adopted the technique of bobbing back and forth to increase the speed of the sled. Though women have participated in bobsledding since the sport’s creation, international competition for women did not begin until the 1990s. The women’s two-person bobsled event made its Olympic debut in 2002. The bobsled run used in international competition is be-tween 1,312 to 1,750 yards long. There are generally 15 to 20 turns per course. Early bobsleds were built mostly of wood. Steel runners were adopted within a few years and, by the mid-20th century, steel and aluminum were used throughout. Competitive bobsledding started in 1924 in the Winter Olympics and now is a well known sport for the Olympics.

RED GERARDBy: Tone Spears

Redmond "Red" Gerard is an American snowboarder and a 2018 Winter Olympics gold medalist of the Unit-ed States Olympic team. He did slopestyle. He is the youngest male Olympic snowboard champion ever. He is 17-years-old. Red Gerard was born on June 29, 2000. He is 5’5” in height, and he weight 116 pounds. After winning the gold he said, “Once I found out I was on the podium I didn’t care what spot I got as long as I got top three--that was insane to me. That’s something I thought I would ever be able to say in my life that I got top three at the Olympics.”

MEET MS. GROBBy: Tone Spears

I interviewed Ms. Grob, the Eileen Johnson Middle School Art teacher. She likes how everyone does differ-ent art, and they can use art to express themselves. Ms. Grob gets alot of her ideas off Pinterest, and she gets her inspiration from movies and books and more. She likes to draw and do water colors.

Ms. Grob has done a lot of art in this school such as Printmaking and Sculpture and Painting. She likes to teach painting.

THE LOCKWOOD SCHOOL COUNSELORS

By: Charlie Desmarais

There are many different problems for different ages of students. Lockwood Schools has three counselors here to help them. The kindergarten to 2nd counselor is Mrs. Wiggs. She decided to be a counselor when she was a special education teacher. She liked the idea of helping kids, so they can have a positive school experience. Her favorite part of the job is the kids, her coworkers, and that everyday is different. She helps the students that come to her by treating them with respect, kindness, and humor. They only need help finding their strengths and weaknesses. She got her degree from MSU Bill-ings. It took her two and a half years to get her degree and 48 credits for her masters. She has been a counselor

for six years.

The next counselor, Mr. Zilkoski, helps the 3rd to 5th graders. He got the idea to be a counselor from his mother. She is a middle school counselor and thought it would be a challenge for him. His favorite part of counseling is helping the kids. He helps the kids by put-ting himself in their shoes. He also got his degree from MSU Billings. It took him 2 years to get his degree. He

has been a counselor for five years.

The final counselor at Lockwood Schools is Ms. Wild-er. She counsels 6th, 7th, and 8th grade. She decided to be a counselor when she was looking for a job in psy-chology. She could not find a job she was interested in, so she went and got a master’s degree in education and counseling. Her favorite part of counseling is the rela-tionships she builds with kids. The way she helps the students is by validating them, giving them skills, and listening to them. She got her degree from MSU Bill-ings. It took her four years for her undergraduate degree and two for her masters. She has been a counselor since 2002. They must really like Lockwood Schools because

they have all only worked for Lockwood Schools.Follow Lockwood Sports on Twitter @LWathletics

IS TECHNOLOGY TAKING TIME FROM LOVED ONES?

By: Delecia Forshee

Do you think television or cellphones has destroyed communication among friends or family? I personally think so, but at the same time I do not think that. Nowa-days you do not hear of many families that spend time together or have family time. Since most kids from the age of 10 have some sort of electronic that is how they spend their time. But other families do spend some time together. For instance my family travels quite a bit for wrestling. But when my family travels not ev-eryone goes. When I go to wrestling tournaments I no-tice that there are some families where everyone goes. While I am there though I see people on electronics to record the wrestling matches for improvement or while the wrestlers are waiting to wrestle again they play on there phone or ipad/tablet. So when parents say, “Life revolves around phones nowadays” it is kind of true. For instance, in the olden days they did not have smart phones or tablets so they found things to do outside. I hear stories from my Grandma all the time about her and her siblings, and she never says anything about phones or television.
