Halloween this year will be bringing candy, costumes, cavities and corpses.

One holiday favorite is carving pumpkins on Hal-loween. A lot of time goes into carving pumpkins.

Mike and Wanda Freeman, Whitehall locals, put time into carving pumpkins. They print copies of pic-tures and designs. They tape the patterns onto the pumpkins and use a needle to poke the design out. Once they finish that they use a saw to cut out the de-sign or picture. If the wall of pumpkin is too thick, they use a spoon to thin the walls to make it easier to cut out the picture or de-

sign. After they are all done carving they put Vase-line on the outside of the pumpkin and wrap it in sa-ran wrap to keep it from rotting before Halloween.

The highlight for some peo-ple is decorating their yard/house. Some people put a lot of work into deco-rating their yard for Hal-loween.

Mike and Wanda Freeman usually spend $100 on their yard. Most of the stuff in their yard is homemade so and they reuse it every year. They use blacklights and strobe lights to light up their yard. They use multi-ple fog machines to make their house spookier. They

had creative ideas to come up with scare tac-tics. They use a remote control car and put a scary mask on it to scare people. It took Mike and

Wanda about a half a day to set up their yard. They made a homemade coffin, guillotine and Styrofoam tomb stones as props to decorate their yard.

Kids enjoy the creepy deco-rations people put in their yards to celebrate the holi-day, but the main highlight of Halloween is, of course, the candy. The average American eats 1.2 pounds of candy on Halloween. The most popular candy last year was Kit Kats.

A good spot to get those goodies this year is the IGA where Trick-or-Treaters can receive a bag of goodies. Also kids should head to KFC to receive any flavor ice cream cone.

In the past there has been a Haunted House in Bor-den’s, but there will not be one this year. Have a safe and fun Halloween.

Whitehall High School

Jack-o-lanterns will grace many door steps this Halloween

The Whitehall High School was happy to accept eight new staff mem-bers going into the 2012-2013 school year. Among these eight was, Mr. Britt McLean. McLean is currently the athletic director and the dean of students at the school. “I am ex-tremely happy to be an administrator here in the Whitehall Public School District. The district has a lot to offer me and my family” says McLean, “I enjoy the kids and staff that we have throughout the district, I also like the community and setting of the town and feel that the district has a lot to offer the students, staff, community and administration.

“The first couple of months at White-

hall has been a really great experience for me, I am enjoying seeing students develop their artistic skills and crea-tivity. Being the art teacher is a very unique position because I get to work with kindergartners all the way up through seniors, which can make for a very interesting day!”says Mr. Mark Gunderson (K-12 Art).

Along with McLean and Gunderson, the other staff members seem to be enjoying their time in Whitehall. “The bacon cheeseburgers at the Two-Bit are definitely a favorite… People are discovering how "off" I am yet they accept me! Thank you community and school of Whitehall!” says Mr. Nate Lant (K-8 Principal).

The new staff was introduced on the first day of school with a warm wel-come from the students and other staff members.

New Staff: Mrs. Amy Griffin: High/Middle School Councilor; Mr. Britt McLean: Athletic Director/Dean of Students; Mr. Mark Gunderson: K-12 Art; Mr. Nate Lant: K-8 Principal; Mrs. Kim Konen: Paraprofessional; Mrs. Mallory Grunow: Middle School English/History Teacher; Mr. Reed Watkins: Math Teacher; Mr. Dan Lacey: 6-12 Physical Education.

less expensive to go to, but if the state barely gives the college any money it will be more expensive to attend at that college. The state of Montana does not contribute much money to the colleges in Montana, so the price to attend a college will be around $2,963 per semester which is the av-erage price for a 4 year public college.

When Whitehall High School senior Thomas Davidson was asked; do you think attending college is important he responds “Yes to get a better pay-ing job”? Also, when Dusty Proffer was asked do you plan on going to college he answered, “Yes because college will better your chances at

College can be a great experience in a person’s life. The question on many students’ minds this coming fall is in the long run, will college be worth the money paid for tuition, fees and books. College can help get one good jobs, but college will not guarantee a job. If one does not get a job straight out of college they will be stuck try-ing to pay those college loans with no job. College is very expensive and hard to pay back the money even with a job.

College prices depend on how much money the state contributes to the col-lege. If the state gives the college a large amount of money the college is

getting a job in your life with better pay and benefits”.

There are still people that want to go to college which is a good thing but it will not guarantee one a job. If one has a master’s degree the company will have to pay that person a higher income over the people that only have a high school diploma. With a high school diploma one will make on av-erage 1.4 million in a life time and with a master’s degree one will make around 2.8 million in a lifetime.

Whitehall Schools get new faces By: Kennedy Patritti

Local News New Dean of Students Britt McLean displays his strength

Across Montana not all schools have their own newspaper. Whitehall High School is considered one of the privi-leged because we now have a school newspaper.

A survey was conducted in October of 2012 at Whitehall High School. Par-ticipating were 57 randomly chosen Whitehall High School students. 78% of the students currently read a news-paper, 22% do not read a newspaper.

The most common place where stu-dents surveyed read the newspaper is at home. The second most common place is the school, followed by the library and work.

Currently 70% of the Whitehall Stu-dents read the paper 1-4 times per w e e k . T h e r e m a i n i n g 3 0 % read the paper more frequently 5-7 times per week. Part of the goal of the school’s paper is to keep students aware of the news.

The new school newspaper, Dub

Town Gazette, has nine beats it fo-cuses on. "I am writing about the school's drama club and the up-coming play. Also I'm writing about the new staff of the school," said Kennedy Pat-tritti, a journalist for the Dub Town Gazette.

There are many important aspects for being a journal-ist. "Know your area," said Jacob Davidson who is also a journalist for the Dub Town Gazette.

Many people seem to be excited to have a school newspaper and know about things going on in the school and around the world. "It will help keep up with the school news," said Dusty Proffer journalist for the Dub Town

Gazette.

The staff of the Dub Town Gazette is very excited to finally have a school newspaper.

In the year 2013 Whitehall High School will implement a new policy called the, Common Core Standard. This policy states that the school will be required to have their students graduate with 24 credits regardless of whether or not they continue on to college, in order to graduate in 2015. The requirement now is 22 credits; this will not affect the 2013 high school graduating seniors; however23 credits will be required for the 2014 graduating seniors. All seniors begin-ning fall of 2014 will be required to

have 24 credits in order to graduate in the spring of 2015. When this new policy goes into effect the School to Work program, which allows seniors to go to school for the first half of the day and work the rest of the day for pay, will be dropped. To fill this void the school is currently trying to incor-porate a new internship policy, allow-ing students to be better educated in a profession they want to go into should they choose not to continue on to col-lege. This change in credit require-ments, from 22 to 24, would most

likely affect other high schools like Butte High School, Boulder High School, Helena High School, Twin Bridges High School, Belgrade High School, and Townsend High School. The Common Core Standard – basi-cally states that every student graduat-ing whether college bound or off to join the workforce is prepared and ready to meet the challenges ahead.

Graduation Requirements as of 2013

By: Dusty Proffer

Coach Kerry Sacry (head coach of cross country) said that this year was a fun one for both him and the ath-letes. Sacry said that his athletes were always in a good mood and that helped during practice because they were determined. Key athletes that will be graduating this year are Bar-rett McQuesten, Casey McLean, and Jamus Lamb. Sacry said these three senior boys were very hard working

and loved to push the other athletes for improvement.

“There are no specific athletes that will be a big threat next year. If they want to be a threat next year, they need to work hard in the offseason,” Sacry said. He also said that he would love to see the athletes come into next year with the same times they had at the ending of this year.

This season was great and hard work-

ing. Every athlete improved a lot from

the beginning of the year compared to

the end. Sacry said he hopes to have

more kids run during the offseason

and next year for the team. Overall

the team did a great job and had great

attitudes. Good job Cross Country for

a great year!

this year. This included Camden Sacry, Thomas Davidson, Jeremy Gnerer, Tre Gray, Matt Dyson, Drew Liebers, Cullen Fitzgerald, and Kol-ton Moe (Harrison). Finishing off his senior year Fitzgerald said, “The thing I will miss most is everything; from hardcore conditioning to playing un-derneath the lights on Friday nights. I couldn’t have asked to play football with a better bunch of young men, and I only wish you all the best of luck in the future.” The cheerleading team was small this year, but they did an awesome job getting our student sections pumped up, cheering loud, and supporting our football guys and our volleyball la-dies, whenever we had home games. The team only had one senior, Ken-nedy Patritti. Finishing off her cheer season as a senior Patritti said, “Enjoyed being the oldest and know-ing my stuff on the team and the things I will miss most is high school in general and cheer was just a part of something bigger that will make me miss it even more.”

Senior night kicked off last week with the volleyball game on Tuesday and the football game on Wednesday. The volleyball ladies took on the Jefferson Panthers and couldn’t pull off the win. The scores of the three matches were 19-25, 19-25 and 19-25. The football team took on the Three Forks Wolves on Wednesday night under the lights. The football team came out with a win with a final score of 48-12; the Trojans played very well. Wednesday ended the season for our football team. Cross country competed at state in-Helena Saturday October 20th and did well. The volleyball team had three seniors this year. This included Carly Briggs, Marisa Romerio, and MiShai Huckaba. Regarding this season, Briggs said, “The thing I will miss the most about being a senior is my vol-leyball family and being able to spike the ball down. Spiking was definitely my favorite thing about volleyball and I will miss it a lot.” The football team had eight seniors

The cross country team had three sen-iors on their team, which included Casey Mclean, Jamus Lamb, and Bar-rett McQuesten. McQuesten has par-ticipated in cross country all four years of his high school career. He was a team leader and loved the sport. Winding down the season McQuesten said, “What I will miss the most is the competitive races at the end of the three miles, and winning the final sprint is a great feeling.” We are very proud of all the senior

athletes that participated in a fall sport

and wish you the best of luck in the

Seniors’ Last Time By: Alexis Johnson

Cheerleaders root on the

football team.

The Whitehall Trojans football team definitely had some ups and some downs, but overall they came out with a perfectly even record of 4-4. The senior class had eight of the 11 play-ers on the field each time, so as you can imagine they were really big con-tributors. Coach Lacey said, “We are losing a lot of our offensive and de-fensive lines, as well as our backfield, which will all be huge shoes to fill. I think the underclassmen are hungry and will rise to the occasion.”

Toward the end of the season the leading rusher for the Trojans, Matt Dyson went down in a critical injury against the MHS Tigers. This injury put a permanent cap on his overall

yards at 712 rushing in six games. This was a big loss, but the Trojans rallied and did really well against the number one team in the state. Matt Dyson said, “It hurts to sit on the sideline and watch my family work without me, but they are tough and will pull it through!” The Trojans did, they came out and stomped their last opponent 49-12, on Senior Night. This was a very big game for the sen-iors, because it was their last time ever playing on the WHS field, and Three Forks has been their biggest rivals since middle school.

The biggest jokesters according to Coach Lacey were senior Camden Sacry and sophomore Mike Woods.

They didn’t let down their reputation; after the last game they stayed light-hearted and joked the whole way into the locker room.

The underclassmen have to overcome

the big losses of the senior class, but

be missed dearly next year. These seniors are Marisa Romerio, MiShai Huckaba, and Carly Briggs. Coach Behrens said these three were a great package for this team. Romerio played libero (defensive player) and she led the team in digs mostly every game. Huckaba was a smart yet pow-erful middle blocker, and she went down mid-season due to a back injury against Sheridan. Briggs was an all-around player; she played outside hit-ter but she also led the team in aces this year. Coach Behrens said that they will be hard to replace, but with such a young team this year, the un-derclassman girls will now know

This season’s volleyball team went through some rough times. They had some troubles winning games and had a key player go down mid-season. This didn’t stop the competitors on the team and they stuck it out for the rest of the season.

Alli Behrens (head coach) said that “I enjoyed coaching this group of girls because they were a fantastic set of young ladies who were willing to put their teammates first.” This just shows that this team had heart for the game and they were willing to do anything for each other.

There will be several seniors that will

Coach Behrens said, “Even though we didn’t get some of the wins they should have, I had fun coaching. See-ing these girls improve everyday was phenomenal; they worked their hearts out everyday.”

She also said she can’t wait for next year because younger girls will now have more experience and so will she as coach.

The Trojans finished up their season on October 25th after suffering losses to Manhattan and Big Timber in the District Tournament.

Trojan Football Ends Dead Even By: Camden Sacry

Lance Armstrong, a well-known can-cer survivor and 7 time Tour De France winner, is being stripped of his seven Tour De France Titles by a vote by the International Cycling Union (ICU). They said that from the years 1999 to 2005 they hope that there will remain no winner of the Tour De France for those years. Lance Arm-strong was stripped of his titles and his sponsors including Nike, Oakley, Trek Bicycles and Anheuser-Busch dropped him last week; Armstrong also stepped down as chairman of Livestrong, the cancer awareness charity he founded 15 years ago, be-cause of the significant evidence of him doping to win the Tour De France. The USADA sent a report

that ordered Armstrong be banned from competing in august. The direc-tor of the tour also wants Armstrong to pay back all prize money won in his previous Tour De France races in which the French Cycling Federation counted at $3.85 Million not includ-ing the $7.5 Million that was awarded by the Dallas based SCA Promotions Inc., in which they tried to withhold on alleged doping. The losses amass for a man whose life’s goal was to achieve victory over other cyclists and the cancer that he had to battle. It is still in debate if Lance should be stripped of his medal from the Sydney Olympic Games. Armstrong openly admitted that he took steroids as well

as his team, he was also trafficking the illegal steroids. Random inter-views were conducted with Whitehall High School Students on whether Lance’s sponsors and the UCI were correct in revoking there sponsorship and his seven titles for the Tour De France that he won by doping. Colton Coffing, Casey Mclean, Thomas Davidson, and Tanner Johnson all agreed with the decision to revoke his medals. Coffing stated, “I think it was a good idea because he cheated.” Af-ter conducting the interviews, one final question was asked if they agreed with the decisions that the sponsors and UCI made, and they all unanimously said yes.

After surviving a violent shipwreck, billionaire Oliver Queen is stranded on an island and presumed dead for five years. After a pair of fishermen rescued him, he returned to his home in Starling City where his mother Moira, sister Thea, and best friend Tommy welcomed him with open arms. They soon get the sense that something on the island changed him though. While Oliver gave no details about the island, he tried to make amends for all the actions he took as a boy five years ago. His most urgent was reconciliation with his former girlfriend Laurel Lance. As he recon-nects with the people closest to him, Oliver creates a secret persona called Arrow. As Arrow, Oliver is a vigi-

lante who is trying to right the wrongs created by his family and restore the city to its former glory. During the day Oliver played a billionaire play-boy but at night he became Arrow, carefully concealing his identity from his determined bodyguard and chauf-fer, John Diggle. However, Laurel’s father, Detective Quentin Lance is relentless in trying to capture the vigi-lante that has been running around his city. Meanwhile, Oliver’s mother Moira knows much more about the shipwreck than she has let on-and is more ruthless than Oliver could ever imagine. The show is partially based off of the adventures of the popular DC comic hero, The Green Arrow and his sidekick Speedy. Whitehall

Junior Jacob Davidson said that the show “was good and had good action, good plot, but still had flaws.”

That's what makes him such a good actor, he makes you feel for his character. On a scale from one to ten, I give this movie a seven. I recommend this movie to any action junky and suspense lovers. I don't recommend this movie to anybody under the age of 13. If you haven't seen the first Taken, watch it before you watch Taken 2. If you don't you won't know what Brian is capable of.

New To T.V. “Arrow” By: Shiloh Miller

The novel Waiting for June is about a young teenage girl, Sophie, that is pregnant in high school. Sophie is no longer dating her boyfriend; she is single and has to raise this baby on her own. Joshua is her ex-boyfriend who thinks everything can be solved easily. Sophie doesn’t get along with her mom at all and has no father in her life. Sophie wants to live out on her own but it’s so hard having a baby. She is trying to get through high school and enjoy it as much as she

can even though she gets made fun of because of her pregnancy.

I really liked this book. The book really grabbed my attention and made me not want to put it down. I can re-late to having a friend pregnant in high school, and watching her be made fun of. Especially the life she had to live and ended up not coming to school to finish her last two years. This book had a really good story line and just sucked you into it. This book

gives a good life lesson and was very detailed in show-ing you what can happen if you get pregnant in high school.

This book also shows a really good lesson for teenage girls. I don’t think girls realize what can happen when they aren’t careful. A lot of teenage girls don’t think before they give in to peer pressure. Overall, I would rec-ommend this to any teen girl because it shows a really good life lesson and an interesting book.

In economics, Romney is an advocate of a policy called "Trickle down" which supposes that if the rich are richer, the poor will also become richer, as the rich will create more jobs with their money. He also is an advocate of a smaller, less controlling government that leaves businesses more room to operate as they please. Obama is a subscriber to a "middle class out" theory- he tries to give more money to the middle class, and therefore, allow them more room to maneuver with their spending. As the middle have more money, they spend more, giving businesses more money to create more jobs.

In theory, both methods sound like they should work. But the “Trickle down” approach is the same one used by former President Bush, and, could be argued, the same method that got us into the current economic mess we’re in. The “middle out” approach used by Obama also seems sensible, but it’s been four years and we’re only a little better off than we were before. The difference is not, appar-ently, in the result, but in the process and who gets the most extra money. In “Trickle down” the rich (people with incomes of over a five hundred

The presidential election has been constantly broadcast throughout the nation. The only way you don't know anything about it is if you live in a cave somewhere in Yellowstone Park with no power and isolated from the tourists. Ruthless attack ads are every-where.

Both candidates have spent so much time trying to tear apart the other's record; they've spent next to no time talking about their own individual plans. The only time they’ve really explained themselves have been at the debates, and even in those they've spent more time trying to rip each other's political and personal lives apart than giving any relevant infor-mation to anyone who's not watching men run around desperately clutching an ellipsoid object

So what's the real difference between them? The politics have been lost in the mud-slinging. There are several likenesses between the candidates, as both chose to cover the same topics- namely, the economy, taxes, immigra-tion, women’s rights, and health care- but the candidates show stark differ-ences in how they choose to deal with these issues. Here in this article, I’m focusing on the economy.

thousand dollars, in this case, com-monly referred to as the 1%) get spe-cial tax breaks and cuts so they can be even richer. These filthy rich patri-cians then start paying their employ-ees more, and start hiring more peo-ple. So everyone profits when the big boss is happy.

The “Middle out” theory gives these tax breaks and cuts to the middle class. (Think the average family of four, suburban house, one or two pets, a goldfish, nothing special. These guys are the 99%.) the logic here is that when these people have more money to spend, they spend more at stores, buy a new car, etc., and with that extra expenditure, the companies get more money, which they use to hire more workers and pay their workers more. So when Average Joe is happy, so is everyone else.

So which one works better? That’s not for me to say. That’s for you to figure out. But whether you’re Re-publican or Democrat, Libertarian or independent, you need to get out there and vote, whether it’s for Romney, Obama, Chuck Norris, or that nice old lady next door who makes cookies every weekend. Your voice counts, now more than ever.

Obama and Romney: So What's The Difference?

By: Tanner Clay Editorial

One of the biggest challenges of par-enting teens is knowing when to loosen the rules and when to tighten them. So, what is the payoff to strik-ing the right balance? Helping your teen grow into an adult who is respon-sible and who can make decisions. Try these suggestions for balancing freedom and control.

DECIDE which rules cannot be com-promised. For example, you can probably accept your high schooler deciding her own bedtime. However,

will you put up with her driving 20 mph over the speed limit without a seatbelt? Set clear rules and conse-quences for those areas you won’t budge on.

NEGOTIATE flexible areas. Listen to your teen’s input and pick rules you both can live with. Example: She can have her girlfriends sleep over as long as they clean up any mess the next morning. Also, listen to her side of a situation. You don’t always have to change your mind, but

be willing to think it over.

ALLOW your teen to make more decisions as time goes by. Start with smaller matters (hairstyles, clothes) and work up to larger issues (choosing classes, managing money). Try granting a new right and respon-sibility every couple of months. Ex-ample: a later curfew along with cooking for the family once a month. If your teen abuses new freedoms, you can go back to stricter rules until she shows she can be trusted.

They are the Whitehall cheerleaders. the squad consist of seven members. With one season ending and another beginning, some cheer leaders have stopped cheering and some have added on to the squad. They practice two days a week going over cheers and dances; a lot of the time it’s more of a social experience. Hopefully by basketball season they will be doing stunts. There wasn’t a cheer captain they just worked together as a team.

Whitehall High School doesn’t have many students that like to go to the games and cheer. For a special group of people, they are always there. They try their hardest at all times to try and get the crowd and players pumped.

For this past fall season there was only one senior cheer leader and now of the season was Kennedy Patritti She says, “I wonder how the squad will do without any seniors on it dur-ing winter sports since there are none this winter.” there are no seniors cheering during winter?” she replied. I think they have enough potential that they don’t need to worry about if there is a senior or not. Cheer hard this winter and stay warm.
