Recent snow fall and weather has created problems for the Meeker High School baseball team. Games on April 12th and 14th have been cancelled because of the weather. The Cowboys have been forced to having nothing but indoor practice for the majority of the week.  When the players are allowed to play outside, the field must be dragged and bases must be replaced. Will the baseball team have weather to actually have a outdoor game this season?

“I call to this meeting to begin, at 8:05″ said Charley Adams.

Conflict was in the air as STUCO meeting began on Tuesday, December 7, 2010.  As the secretary, Amanda Kendal, went through role,  some of the members were anxious to get the meeting started.

As the discussion began, the usual active members began to talk while others just zoned out. When the topic about buying the “school spirit” items came up it struck a nerve within the STUCO sponsors, Mrs. Kelley and Mr. Snell.

The Cowboy Shootout committee had purchased pom poms, cow bells, foam fingers, etc. to raise school spirit for around $285.  Most of these items purchased, according to CHSAA rules, are not allowed to be used.

Mrs. Kelley expressed her disappointment in the lack of knowledge of these rules in which the items were not allowed.  She went on to say that $285 dollars is a lot of money for the economy in which we are in, and wanted a resolution as to how we would get the money back.

The Cowboy Shootout committee came up with ideas and the problem is still under discussion.

There is a lot of misunderstanding in our society about why adolescents and adults engage in self-injury or ‘cutting’ behavior. One of the most harmful things one can do to someone who self-injures (or cuts) is to judge them for their behavior.

One of the most important things one can do as a friend and/or family member is to really take time to listen to the person. People who self-injure do so because the pain gets to be too much. This is one way they have to let this pain ‘out.’

If they have shared with you that they cut, it is often times because they trust you. They don’t want to be scorned, yelled at or judged – they just want someone to really listen and care about what they are going through that is causing them so much pain. They want to feel accepted and trust someone with their feelings.

Individuals who cut have also shared that they have feelings of abandonment, isolation and/or are frequently misunderstood. Self-harmers need another human being who will be there to relate to them in an unconditional way.

They need hope and love.
