VOLUME 90, NO. 46

By Staff Reports A procession of veterans representing various branches of the military made a solemn entrance into the gymnasium of Hartselle Junior High School Nov. 8. The school band played “ Battle Hymn of the Republic “ while hundreds of attendees stood in silence. This marked the commencement of the school’s annual Veterans Day program, which welcomes the public to partake in a day of celebration and honor. To initiate this poignant event, Braydn Whitlock led the audience in reciting the Pledge of Allegiance, and Kendra Gillott extended a heart-

School officials evaluate ChatGPT and its use among students

By Wes Tomlinson For the Enquirer

As artificial intelligencegenerated applications become increasingly accessible to students, some school districts have banned their use while other local districts are considering their potential. One of the more popular applications is ChatGPT, an AI-powered language model that allows individuals to ask a wide range of questions that the app answers based on automated research of information gathered from the internet. An incident involving students at Hartselle High School using ChatGPT to complete assignments prompted some teachers and administrators there to start a committee to evaluate the use of AI-generated apps. “We’ve had issues come up already with students who were using ChatGPT last spring and other AI text platforms,” said Josh Swindall, secondary curriculum coordinator for Hartselle City Schools. “We mainly wanted to get perspective on how AI is affecting the classroom, so that is why we formed the committee.” It’s not just a local issue. New York City Public Schools and the Los Angeles Unified School District are among school districts that had banned ChatGPT from their schools, but New York City recently reversed its ban and Los Angeles is working on a more permissive AI policy as the districts seek to balance the benefits and downsides of its use. Both Hartselle and Morgan County school districts have tolerated the use of text-based AI this year but have become more wary of the advantage it gives dishonest students. “From a document creation standpoint, we’ll have those students work on them in class rather than doing out-of-class assignments,” Swindall said. Morgan County Superintendent Tracie Turrentine said teachers and administrators in her district are using old-fashioned methods to detect AI-generated assignments.

“We see how a student writes on demand in front of us and then compare those over time,” Turrentine said. “The verbiage changes a lot if you look at what they write on demand versus what they go home and write (using an AI program). It’s a lot different.” However, when students use ChatGPT to solve difficult math equations, school districts are limited in their ability to detect work done by AI. “We’re able to monitor what websites students are visiting when they are at school on our servers,” Turrentine said. “But, when they go home or outside of school, we really can’t control it.” Turrentine said disciplinary actions will follow if students are improperly using AI in her schools, with the third infraction possibly resulting in a zero for the student’s grade. Morgan County schools currently allow unrestricted use of ChatGPT and other language models on their servers, but Hartselle has restricted use of some of these apps. “After that happened in the spring, ChatGPT was restricted earlier on,” Swindall said. “I don’t know about its use now. We do have some AI apps that are restricted.” Conversely, the school districts have seen the benefits of using AI from the standpoint of both teachers and students. “Right now, we’ve got teachers who have used ChatGPT for differentiation strategies and for writing samples,” Swindall said. “There are endless possibilities we haven’t discovered yet.” Morgan County teachers currently utilize ChatGPT to help explain difficult concepts to students. “It is widely used with coding during computer programming classes,” Turrentine said.

felt welcome to the public and the students, faculty and staff in attendance. Under the direction of Col. Brian Williams, the Hartselle Civil Air Patrol proudly presented the service flags and the colors in precise formation. This year’s program was aptly titled “Honor the Courage,” with Col. Michael Synder being this year’s featured speaker. Men and women representing the Coast Guard, Air Force, Army, Navy, and Marine Corps—individuals who have served in nearly every conflict from the present day back to the Korean War—were duly acknowl-

edged and honored during this significant event. HJHS students Doc Moore, Ellie Barrier, Anna Lamson, Jewell Jones and Elijah Gosnell took the stage to pay tribute to the veterans, followed by a performance of the official songs of each branch of the U.S. military. The veterans received a round of applause from the audience. Additionally, HJHS Faculty sang God Bless America and the HJHS Chorus performed The Star Spangled Banner. The event is held annually at Hartselle Junior High School and attended by hundreds.

ter in Huntsville, has written a book on the subject titled “Language AI: A Guide for Humans.” Sparkman says AI apps will not replace jobs but will instead serve as an assistive technology to help employees better perform their jobs. “It’s not AI that’s going to take your job; it’s the person that knows how to use AI that will,” Sparkman said. There have been recent discussions on the state level about how AI should

be utilized within school districts “They need to learn to use AI as a way to fact-check while using it in the right way,” said Rep. Terri Collins, R-Decatur. Collins, chair of the House Education Policy Committee, said she is working in the Legislature and with the State Board Of Education on requirements that secondary students learn how to use AI as a tool for presentations and reports. “I’ve been working on something about positive use of AI on a safe, closed platform that connects teachers, students and parents,” Collins said.

By Staff Reports It’s that time of year again when Hartselle transforms into a winter wonderland, and the enchanting Hartselle Christmas Parade is set to make its grand return Dec. 14 at 7 p.m. Organized by the Hartselle Kiwanis Club, this year’s parade promises to be a dazzling celebration of the holiday season with the theme “Visions of Christmas.” A beloved tradition in the City of Southern Hospitality, the Hartselle Christmas Parade is a spectacle that brings the community together in the spirit of joy and togetherness. The “Visions of Christmas” This year, the parade is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m., allowing families, friends and neighbors to gather under the night sky and immerse themselves in the magic of the season.

Floats and participants in the parade are gearing up to showcase their unique inter-

pretations of the theme. “Visions of Christmas” opens the door to a world of creative possibilities, from traditional scenes of Santa and reindeer to more contemporary or whimsical depictions of the holiday.

(which must be decorated) are encouraged. Cash prizes will be awarded for the best floats.

community organizations and more. The streets will come alive with the sounds of holiday music and caroling, and parade-goers can look forward to the sweet tradition of candy canes and other treats distributed by parade participants.

Opinion I

have always wanted to be a Great Southern Writer. I have yearned for it the way the rich man yearned for a drop of water off of Lazarus’s finger tip; I have longed for it the way a puppy longs to chew on your most expensive pair of shoes. For years I have known that my entry into the hall of Great Southern Writers, if I were capable, would be to write about my father. The only problem I found is that I may have too good of a relationship with my father to be a Great Southern Writer. The other members of this fraternity I so longed to be a part of had tortured, tense relationships with their fathers, if they had one at all. I, on the other hand, have always had a very good relationship with a kind, present father. He tells me he loves me frequently and makes sure I know he is proud of me. He is not perfect by any means, but at the very least, when I think of Daddy I have mostly pleasant thoughts. No, mine wouldn’t be a story of exercising demons or of mining my childhood for unearthed trauma. I’m sure there are demons lurking and healing that could take place, because he has not been a perfect father, but I knew the story of my father and me would have less to do with those issues and more to do with a trip to the corner grocery store when I was a child that made me the person I am today. The moment I realized that trip was pivotal, I was laying on the floor of my childrens bedroom watching A River Runs Through It while they slept. It was the middle of the night, and my wife Jaime was on tour somewhere hundreds of miles away. Earlier in the evening, our oldest Hank had thrown up, which led us to the emergency room to discover he had the flu. I laid there, watching a movie I had watched time and time again, and I thought about brothers and fathers. I thought about a family that held onto what was important; I thought about a family that, no matter what happened, had a constant that made them who they were. As the movie drew to a close, Robert Redford recited that closing speech that I could almost recite by heart, but for whatever reason it hit me differently this time when he said,

he popular reality TV show “Mountain Men” tells the stories of a few individuals who match their wits and skills against a harsh environment and prevail as they carve out a life chosen by them to live off the land. The challenges they face are as monumental as the mountains in which they reside. With few, but distant like-minded neighbors, they are forced to rely upon the land to survive. It must provide food, clothing, and shelter. Recently while watching an episode of the show my mind turned to memories of my childhood in the days following the Great Depression. My parents were sharecroppers who had to depend solely upon the land they tilled to provide the necessities of life. There was little money available to purchase anything beyond basic needs. If they went to town on Saturday afternoon it was not so much to shop as it was to gather on the street corners with others in the same condition and catch up on the national and war news and the latest community gossip.

Mission Statement

The blessings we share

always look forward to the Thanksgiving holiday. Its sumptuous meal of smoked turkey, cornbread dressing and all the trimmings represents top of the world dining pleasure. Beyond our immediate family, we never know who might show up as special invited guests. Several years ago, we had two soldiers from Redstone Arsenal as dinner guests for the day. One or more close friends of our granddaughters are usually on the guest list, and the day is made complete with 11 grandparents, parents, granddaughters spouses and great granddaughter Layla Fullerton, the favorite of all. Where else than on a truly American holiday could a family hope to assemble with all members present and have others invited as participating guests. The meaning of Thanksgiving would be incomplete without

Quotable

pausing first and giving thanks to God for the blessings we share as American citizens. I’m thankful I live in a country that was founded Clif Knight on democratic Staff Writer principals and remains Emeritus a beacon of freedom despite countless attempts to undermine its strength. My military experience and patriotic mindset make me want to stand at attention and salute when I see the American flag waving and hear the national anthem being played. The men and women who’ve paid the ultimate sacrifice in America’s defense are my heroes.

The clean air we breathe and the safe water we drink are just as important to our well-being as a bountiful supply of healthful food and a wide array of wellness services and prescription medicines. We benefit daily from living in a small city with test scores that rank among Alabama’s top 10 school systems, well-managed utility services, a safe environment, easy access to modern medical services and well-stocked grocery stores. We also live in a community that places strong emphasis on quality of life for the family. Hartselle takes great pride in its high-performing education system. Students typically perform well on tests for elementary and secondary students and a majority go on to pursue careers at 2-year and 4-year colleges and trade schools. Additionally, the protection and safety of citizens are the objectives

Good ole boys like me “Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through it.” As an old man on the screen stood in a river fly fishing all alone, I saw Jacob Hatcher myself stand- Community ing there. In Columnist the wrinkles in his face I saw the shadows of the past; in the far off look in his eyes, that look that is laser focused on something but also drifting far and away, I saw a man surveying what all of life meant and realizing that for him, life meant a river. Not just a river though; life meant a river with his brother and father. Through all of the trials and tribulations, children being born and loved ones being lost, the river was the constant. The credits ran out and the screen turned black, and I found myself alone with my thoughts. I had seen this movie more times than I could count, but for whatever reason my emotional response that time was visceral. LIke the rivers those characters stood in, memory after memory came rushing over me. Just before I was totally overcome with emotion, that day at the corner grocery store came rushing back. I hadn’t thought about that day in so many years, but laying under a Toy Story blanket with a teddy bear for a pillow, I traveled in time. I could still see it clear as day. I was probably seven years old, and Daddy was walking in front of me. With each step of his 6’5” frame, I heard the click of the heel of his cowboy boot against the cold tile floor; like a picture hanging on the wall, I saw the Wrangler patch on the back of his jeans. I can’t say for sure, but we were probably getting more bologna, because if Daddy was making lunch, we were eating bologna. And as he turned down the lunch meat aisle, I could faintly hear the song he was whistling. Ride around Ride around real slow

The fiery and the snuffy are raring to go

I had heard this cowboy song hundreds of times, but for some reason, it all connected for me when I heard him singing it in that cold lunch meat section. All these years later I can still see the patch on the back of his wrangler jeans; I still hear the click of his cowboy boots landing with each powerful step as he walked on the hard linoleum floors. As we loaded back up in Daddy’s truck, bologna and tomato juice in toe, Daddy put in his tape of cowboy songs and I knew that, like his Daddy before him, my Daddy was carrying the torch for the rural life he no longer had the opportunity to live. It was like I had had an awakening of understanding that day. I had known Daddy was different from my friend’s fathers, but I had never really been able to put my finger on it. When we got home and walked towards our house, I looked across the street to my best friend Ryan’s house, and little subtle things came rushing to my mind. Ryan’s den was covered in football memorabilia and Beatles posters. Their bookshelves were littered with books about Led Zeppelin and Eric Clapton. And that all made sense; this was the music of their generation. But they weren’t much younger than Daddy. This was also the music of his generation, but Daddy chose to fill our home with the things of Wyatt Earp’s generation. Our den was littered with all manner of cowboy statues, walls plastered with paintings of horses in quaint pastures. These, of course, were the small things. These were the things that you could just go out and buy, no matter your upbringing or heritage. It wasn’t the possession of these things that mattered; what I came to understand that day was that these things represented something much bigger. They were the relics of a life once lived, long before I came along, when dreams still had a chance of coming true. And those dreams were an inheritance from a rural sharecropper that worked every day of his life trying to make a better life for his family, fighting for every ounce of food ever put on his table.

of adequately staffed and equipped police and fire and rescue departments. Other amenities include a multi-purpose civic center, water park and special needs accessible playground. Our community is also blessed to have active churches representing most denominations. Thousands of congregants faithfully practice their faiths at these houses of worship each week and offer a variety of outreach programs to the community. I’m also thankful to live in a community that lives out its slogan: “The City of Southern Hospitality.” These are only a few of the reasons I’m thankful to be a Hartsellian. I’m sure you can add others. Whatever they are, happy thanksgiving to you and your family.

Daddy had very few tapes in his truck when we were younger. A greatest hits of Don Williams, Rodeo Songs Old and New by Chris Ledoux, Cowboy Songs by Micheal Martin Murphy, and George Strait’s Strait from the Heart. The ladder album being the first of many that I was aware of that endeared George Strait to me, if for no other reason than his willingness to use his own name as a pun quite regularly. We would go from place to place in that truck, cycling through tape after tape, listening to those songs for the thousandth time. One might imagine that eventually we would get tired of hearing the same song over and over, and maybe everyone else did, but to me it never got old. Truth be told, I go back to those four albums frequently all of these years later. I have the entire breadth of music at my fingertip, and take advantage of that frequently, but when the chips are down and I need a friend to turn to, I find myself sitting with them more often than not. To my ears, the acoustic guitar intro to Good Ole Boys Like Me sounds like Daddy and his brothers sitting around a dining room table telling the same stories we heard every time we visited. When Don William’s sings, “nothin’ makes a sound in the night like the wind does”, I’m laying in the guest room at my Nana’s, terrified by the sound of the acorns falling on the back deck. No one ever tucked me in with gin on their breath and staggered out the door, but there was plenty of talk of honor and being washed in the blood. Bob McDill’s picture of Confederate generals hanging on walls and Hank Williams songs floating across the house makes it seem as though he was opening presents alongside us each Christmas. I don’t know that I’ve ever sat in front of a window screen and withe smell of cape jasmine floating through, but I’ve walked along fence lines covered with honeysuckle and tasted the sweet nectar in the heat of the day. And I knew plenty of people that had similar childhoods as me that chose to burn themselves up on pills and alcohol, and there’s part of me that knows it was time spent See GOOD, page 8

milk was always available. Fatback pork and cured hams hanging in the smokehouse provided meat for the table. We lived for a time on the bank of Mack’s Branch when its waters were still clear and abounded with perch and sunfish. Fried crispy in lard they provided a welcome addition to our diet. So did squirrels and rabbits during hunting season. The woods provided berries in the spring for jelly and jams and hickory nuts in the late fall for Christmas cakes. Another challenge was one of clothing the family. Fertilizer for the row crops came in white rough material sacks. It was bleached and sewed together in panels and made into the sheets upon which we slept. My brothers and I wore union suits for underwear made from the same material. Hand-crafted quilts pieced from scraps of cloth patiently joined together covered us in the winter. Shirts were often made from chicken feed sacks. After the cotton was picked and the annual bills paid, we got two or three pairs of denim overalls expected to last a year. Often

Living off the land farm families did not have access to a newspaper or a batterypowered radio. The party line telephone had not yet spread very far into the A. Ray Lee countryside. Columnist The fortunate few were more than willing to bring others up to date. A major challenge they had was one of providing food for the family. The majority of it was homegrown. The family garden yielded vegetables which when canned and preserved managed to get us through the winter until another spring. Canned beans, dried black-eyed peas, and Irish potatoes accompanied by cornbread were staples in our diet. From the barnyard, we gathered free-range eggs for breakfast and young fryers for Sunday dinner. Fresh cow’s

the knees and seats were patched and they became hand-me-downs to a younger brother. The first storebought clothing other than overalls I recall was a pair of short pants to wear to Decoration Day at Johnson Chapel church. A tenant house, always in need of repair, was provided by the landowner. It was dimly lighted by a coal oil lamp. The only heat came from a cook stove and a smoking fireplace which baked you on one side while you froze on the other. There was no shortage of wood but it had to be cut with a cross-cut saw and split with an axe. In a few years, my parents were able to purchase our own farm. As the nation began to recover from the depression, our way of life changed. But we still relied upon the land and had faith it could sustain us if by faith we were good stewards in managing that which had been entrusted to us. Those beginning years helped form me and the life I would pursue. “I can do all things through Christ which strengheneth me.” (Philippians 4:13)

Hartselle Utilities has recently completed a natural gas main extension that will serve eleven poultry houses at two different farms in Lawrence County.

Special to the Enquirer It was a heartwarming scene this past week at the Hartselle High School auditorium, as second-graders from Barkley Bridge Elementary, Crestline Elementary, and F.E. Burleson Elementary came together to celebrate their accomplishments in the Super Citizen Program. After a 10-week journey in the program, these students gathered to honor local heroes and reflect on their pivotal roles in shaping America’s future. The Super Citizen Program offered these young learners a truly hands-on education in civic responsibility and character development. In an era dominated by technology, the

program utilized the “Hands on Liberty” DVD series along with engaging activities and comprehensive lesson plans to instill essential values in civics, character, financial literacy and social studies. The culmination of the program, known as “Helping Hands,” provided students with an opportunity to apply these vital lessons to reallife situations. This practical approach empowers the next generation to be active and responsible citizens. One of the most touching moments of the day was when the students chose their own local heroes, individuals who embodied the qualities of exceptional citizens. With great enthusiasm, the young heroes took

to the stage to read heartfelt essays about their chosen role models before presenting them with Liberty Pins. Through this experience, the students learned that “when you honor a hero, you become a hero.” Cerro Wire, The Community Foundation for Greater Huntsville – Ruth & Lyle Taylor Endowment, Decatur Morgan County Chamber of Commerce, NuCor Steel, Kiwanis Club of Decatur, Chick-fil-A, Rep.

in Daddy’s truck, listening to these songs, that helped me understand that wasn’t the road I wanted to go down. That day I came to realize that when Daddy whistled I Ride An Old Paint, his mind was on a farm miles away from where we were, on which he had learned about milking cows, shucking corn, and scaring younger cousins in old, dilapidated slave cabins. I now understood that while technically Daddy’s job at Opryland was security, what he really enjoyed most was the horses he got to train and ride while doing it. And most importantly, this simple little tune that he whistled while walking through a suburban neighborhood grocery store taught me that I was going to be different too. Ever since that day, I have endeavored to be like

him, and in doing so have endeavored to be different than most everyone around me. And when I hear an old cowboy ballad, I’m reminded why my favorite thing to do each morning is stare out the back window at the neighbors’ horses as they eat the overgrown wildflowers. Every time I hear the twin fiddles of Strait’s Fool Hearted Memory, I’m reminded that maybe I’m a little bit of a time traveler like Daddy, a man out of place and time somehow. This truth and these memories led me to buy a horse when I was in high school and to buy a guitar in college. Chasing the dream I eventually came to understand as Daddy’s put me in the saddle more times than I can count and on barstools behind a microphone even more times than that. Stockholders in Justin boots and Resistol hats owe this dream a debt of gratitude. This is the story that, at

the very least, will help my sons understand why they are named after long gone country music legends. This is the story that will show them why dishes must be washed to a soundtrack of pedal steel and twin fiddles. When they’re adults and wonder why guitars and cowboy hats were scattered all over their home, I want them to be able to read this story and say, “Eventually, all things merge into one, and a country song has always been playing in the background.” This then is the story of how country music revealed to me who I was. The story of how miles and miles in the cab of an old GMC did more to form me than any amount of schooling or heartfelt conversations. The story of how a boy from Middle Tennessee, raised in the church by two God-fearing parents, for a time at least, made a religion of country music.

The Tigers took their first lead with 7:53 left in the second quarter when Lincoln Bryant scored on a 3-yard run to put Hartselle up 7-6. Hartselle extended their lead to 10-7 on a Noah Yates 32-yard field goal with 2:32 left in the first half. The Eagles retook the lead with 2:11 left in the half when they connected on a 65-yard pass to take a 12-10 lead into halftime. The Tigers grabbed the lead early in the third quarter when Ri Fletcher capped off a 61-yard drive with a 14-yard touchdown run with 9:19 left in the third quarter. Hartselle

IRC: A Heartwarming Halloween

By: Michael Hale The intervention resource classrooms are a wonderful group of Hartselle High School students and staff. Loved by all who experience their kindness, these students inspire others to make a positive change in Hartselle’s growing community. As Halloween raptly approached, it was time to get ready to be frightened, but also the IRC students and staff melted hearts once again. As the festivities began to arise at HHS the IRC staff once more planned a special Trick-or-Treat event for their students and prepared to beat the opposing teachers in an all out costume contest. This event is very popular amongst undergraduates and teachers alike and brings forth a friendly challenge to those who wish to beat the IRC’s undying winning streak. The IRC has won every previous occurrence and were determined to keep their streak burning. Unfortunately, the IRC’s Wizard of Oz theme came in second while the math department proved they where Kennough with their blonde Barbie brigade. Though losing to their opponents was hard, the IRC took their loss positively and still took home a few singular costume trophies with Coach Cole’s lion winning first and Bri Horton’s wicked witch placed third. Dominating this competition every year is no easy task to achieve and takes important planning, precise artistry, de-

duction and an opulent chunk of money. IRC students and staff truly do the best to ensure a well earned victory for their efforts. Coach Cole, A beloved coach and IRC teacher states “The IRC is different from most teaching environments because we spend all day together as a staff, so we are constantly bouncing ideas off of each other until we find the perfect one. We go all out with the costumes too, so that means full costume, makeup, and anything else that is need-

ed to make sure each costume is perfected. It’s a full team effort.” The fruits of their labor and team skills are certainly visible with consistent results of positive feedback and success. Along with the costume contest, the IRC Trickor-Treat is also a wholesome event that all enjoy. With this activity, the IRC students dress in Halloween attire and visit each classroom door to door. Holding out their buckets gleefully and awaiting their treats, the IRC students are

accompanied by a Tiger Buddy (students who choose to help the IRC students complete daily tasks). Cole states, “Our students love to interact with their peers, so being able to go out into classrooms and see teachers and students is always fun for them.” This proves that these students are shown the best side of their companions whilst enjoying a fun activity at school. The Tiger Buddies also help students who struggle with confidence during social situations. The Tiger Buddies eagerly helping their assigned escort helps the IRC students feel safe and puts them in a comfortable environment while building impactful relationships. Overall these events are highly beneficial to Hartselle High’s prosperity and help create a caring atmosphere where most can feel welcomed and learn important life skills in the process. ing impactful relationships. Coming in 1st place this year the opposing team proved they where Kennough with their blonde Barbie brigade. Though losing to their opposers the IRC took their loss positively and still took home a few singular costume trophies. Overall these events are highly beneficial to Hartselle High’s prosperity and help create a caring atmosphere where most can feel welcomed and learn important life skills in the process.

challenge in life was “having confidence in myself for a long time. I chose to put myself out there in order to reach my goals. I overcame this by starting to try out for solos and different groups to reach my goals.” Lewis wants to remind everyone to not only be kind to your peers, but the environment, as well as yourself. Sydney says her favorite quote is, “Have Courage and Be Kind” from Cinderella. This quote means so much to her because not only does she love the movie, she strives to implement it in her everyday life. Sydney Lewis is highly beneficial to Hartselle High’s prosperity and helps create a caring atmosphere where people can feel welcomed and learn important life skills in the process.

Pizza Ed: The Origins of Ed By: Abigail Winsett For the past four years, Pizza Ed has stood asastapleofdowntownHartselle,andyet,notmany people are aware of its rich and inspiring origins. Pizza Ed is owned and operated by Eddie Gwin and his wife, Chandra Gwin. Gwin had worked for 30 years as a sales and marketing executive before his son, Knox, was born, and he decided it was time to be at home more. He and his wife decided to open a pizza place, despite the fact that Gwin had no experience with making pizza. He worked hard, however, and ended up going to the Goodfella’s Pizza School of New York. Now, Gwin and his wife travel to different pizzarias all around the nation to better their pizza making skills. Eventually, Gwin found the perfect spot for his pizza shop: downtown Hartselle. He transformed a former thrift store into the Pizza Ed that Hartselle citizens now know and love. The title is a play on Eddie’s name and the word ‘education.’ The Hartselle community’s love and appreciation for Pizza Ed was evident from the moment it opened, and it has only strengthened since. Despite opening right before the COVID-19 pandemic, Pizza Ed was easily able to stay afloat thanks to the avid support of Hartselle. In fact, it was a two-way street: Gwin supplied local Hartselle workers with food throughout the pandemic. The warm embrace provided to the business by Hartselle has clearly paid off, as they recently opened a second location in Guntersville in August of this year. The new location has a rich history; it was the last place Ricky Nelson performed before his untimely death. The residents of Guntersville have a particular love for this place, which has helped lead the city to welcome Pizza Ed just as much as Hartselle has. The support from Guntersville has been overwhelming. A whopping 400 pizzas were sold in the first four days. Named by AL.com as the best pizzeria in the entire state, it’s no surprise that Pizza Ed is a growing, influential business. It’s important to acknowledge Hartselle’s important contribution to the business’ origins and success.

Hot Topics She was Enchanted to Meet Him By: Emma Gregory Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce broke the internet when announcing that they were dating. The couple was spotted holding hands at a Saturday Night Live after-party and since then seem inseparable. The news of their relationship broke out in mid-October, and the couple seem to be living in paradise. Even though they just started dating, Swift has already met Kelce’s parents and has been spotted at a lot of his home games. Travis Kelce had apparently been a fan of Swift before their linking, claiming that he had listened to her mu-

sic and even invited her to come to one of his games. He has also gone to some pretty big measures to impress Swift. It has been speculated that Kelce bought a six million dollar mansion

for Swift, giving them a place to stay out of the public eye together. While Taylor Swift fans are raving about the new couple, Chief fans had different opinions on the relationship. Most of the football fans feel as though the game is no longer

about the players but rather about seeing Taylor Swift in the stands. This was a common idea when Swift turned down performing at the Super Bowl, her management team claiming that people would only come to see her, not the game. Fans from both groups are also nervous of what might come if they break up. Some people even believe that the couple are just dating for publicity and will break up when the media gets tired of their relationship. Even with all the rumors speculating around their relationship, everyone deserves to find happiness with someone.

The Real Story of Phil Robertson By: Emily Davis people Many enjoy the show Duck Dynasty, but few know of the shocking controversies behind its central figure, Phil Robertson. The Blind, a new movie, is the tell-all true story of Phil Robertson. Duck Dynasty has been around since March 2012. Phil Robertson, his brother Si Robertson, his wife Miss Kay, and his sons Willie, Jep and Jase Roberston assist him with the (Duck business Commander) and the television series. The show lasted 5 years and ended in March 2017 while being able to produce over $400 million dollars in merchandise revenue. During its run, Duck Dynasty broke many A&E ratings and cable TV records, includ-

in 2020 that Robertson had another child from an affair. Additionally, Robertson was almost kicked off the show after making homophobic and racist comments. The Blind is meant to showcase the origins of the Robertson family with a surprising amount of authenticity. The film was produced by Phil Robertson’s nephew, so clearly, it shows an insider’s view. is Robertson an interesting man: he raised himself up from nothing, he cheated on his wife, he turned to Christianity and abandoned his past ways, yet he still made hateful comments. It would take quite a ily through his business and the show, all was far movie to capture quite from perfect.

Matthew Perry, Friends Star, Dead By: Payton Fetner On Oct. 28, fans and celebrities alike mourned the death of Matthew Perry, who played Chandler Bing on the popular show Friends. He was found dead in a hot tub that night, and while there was no indication of foul play, the cause of death would not be determined for quite some time. Perry has struggled with substance abuse publicly and has even written a memoir about this called Friends, Lovers, and Big Terrible Things, which focused on his struggle with substances. Perry actually spent more than half of his life in treatment and rehab. Many fans were skeptical that perhaps the reason for the sudden death was due to his substance abuse problems, but the New York Post released a statement claiming that Perry did “not have meth [or] Fentanyl in his system

at the time of death.” Dr. Baden claims that “it’s certainly possible he could have died from natural causes, especially given the history of surgeries and medical emergencies” The Friends cast released a joint statement on the following Monday stating that as a cast they were “more than just castmates, [they] are a family.” Perry was just 54 at the time of his death, and while he is more well known for his character in Friends, Perry also appeared on

The impact from Perry’s death affected so many people across the U.S., with Friends being the biggest sitcom of the century; it’s no surprise.

War of the Poor and Poweful By: Aubrey Cottrell Homes and buildings destroyed, civilians and military troops dead and injured; unfortunately, people never learn from the casualties of war. The war between these two countries, Israel and Palestine, has been around for centuries. Israel took over Gaza in the Six-Day war. In 2005, they removed their troops that were stationed in Gaza. This left Gaza under the control of Hamas, an Islamist group. This group believes Israel is an occupying power and is trying to liberate Palestinian territories. On Oct. 7, soldiers from Gaza fired thousands of rockets into Israeli towns. This

attack killed around one thousand people. The Hamas gunmen also took one hundred and fifty hostages. That included children and the elderly. Children really have been at the frontline in this war. Since this attack, Israel has declared

war and cut off supplies for the Gazan people, such as water and fuel. The lack of supplies has been taking a major toll on the population of children. Milk is one of the supplies that has been cut off, and the Ga-

zan children are suffering from malnutrition, which has hurt them the most in this war so far. Between the days of Oct. 7-12, they have dropped six thousand bombs on inhabited territory. The Hamas leaders said since the Oct. 7 attack that they “will continue to attack Israel until it’s destroyed.” Another major issue in this war is the citizens and foreigners trying to escape from the Gaza strip. Many can’t make it out of the city and are trapped under the rockets and bombs destroying the city. This new war is a constant battle and it hurts everybody involved. Horrid things like bombings of cities and homes affect so many innocent people. This war needs to be stopped for the sake of the lives on the line.

The Overzealous Zuckerberg

By: Jaylin Daniel

Mark Zuckerberg has proclaimed that his company Meta is the future of technology with his innovations to social media and the implication of his Metaverse into everyday life, yet it is of the opinion of many states that he purposefully exploits the interests of children in an effort to inhibit an addiction to social media, maximizing his own profits. Features on Facebook and Instagram, such as infinite scrolling, that keep you hooked and constant random notifications that keep you coming back to the apps have been deemed addicting and harmful to one’s mental health. The damage being done to

children through their usage of social media has increased the number of children and teens who self-harm and have anxiety disorders. In hopes of combating these statistics, U.S. attorneys in 41

states have brought forth a lawsuit against Meta to spread awareness of the addictive nature of phones and to enable the utilization of stronger regulations for social media. Consumer cases such as this one are unusual to be taking place against a software company as they are most

often seen against Big Pharma and Big Tobacco for the addictiveness of their products. By placing Meta on the same pedestal to that of cigarettes and medications, the government hopes to aid in the protection of exploited and addicted children. Meta is expected to push for a dismissal of the case, however, it is imperative that Zuckerberg be held accountable for his faults against the mental health and privacy against children as he claims that his sites are completely safe and devoid of addictive behaviors. Ultimately, the apathetic and captivating techniques used by Meta have shown the steady decline in the happiness of children.

Corruption Close to Home By: Kylee A. Little Steven Perkins’ car was being repossessed in the middle of the night. The driver of the tow truck had stopped by the house but reported Perkins flashed a gun and requested police officers to accompany him. Upon arrival, Perkins came outside, armed, and one of the officers yelled at him to get on the ground. Without giving Perkins any chance to react, the officer shot 18 times in rapid succession. Perkins is now deceased. M a r q u i n n Bergins, cousin of Perkins and an ex police officer, stated that they did not follow proper conduct. Officers “must knock on the door to make contact. They never knocked on the door,” Bergins said. Once the tow truck arrived in the driveway, one officer went to the front of the truck, while the other went around back, in order to surround Perkins. “They had time to position themselves,” Bergins said.

Perkins’ neighbor Justin Shepherd, a combat war veteran, believes they, the officers, did not give Perkins enough time to respond to the commands they were yelling. Shepherd said, “Within one second he put his hands up, [the officers] started firing [...] before they even got the first full command out.” Bullet holes were not only found in both the ground and road but also in Shepherd’s house. At least six bullets hit the veteran’s home, and it is miracu-

lous nobody else was hurt. When Shepherd heard the gunshots, he had gone outside to see who was shooting his house. Upon exiting, he was not allowed back inside until after questioning. After the whole ordeal, Justin Shepherd is being denied mental help. The police claim he is not a victim, and he made himself part of the incident when he decided to step outside.

Tiger Time Opinions

Debate: Is the Harry Potter movie or book better? Books are Better

By Aubrey Cottrell

Oftentimes, people read a book series and love every bit of it, but then a movie adaptation is created and the characteristics in the books that you fell in love with is not in the movie. The wonderful series of Harry Potter is an example of this happening. The differences between the books and movies are far and wide. The movies weren’t bad

persae, but if you grew up reading the books first, the movies really can’t compete with them. It is understandable to cut certain things out, but some characters and scenes should have been left in. One of the funniest characters mentioned many times in the book series, Peeves the Poltergeist, was not included at all in the movies. The reason being that his role was mostly insignificant to the plot, the

loss of even the small details disappointed the dearest readers of Harry Potter when the movies came out. Ascenedifferencefrom the movie and book is in the fourth book, The Goblet of Fire, when Harry is confronted by Albus Dumbledore, he is asked calmly if he put his name in the goblet. In the movie, Dumbledore intensely asked him if he had. This was uncommon for Albus because he is known to be calm

and collected at all times. In conclusion, the books can let your imagination run wild with the details the author creates. The seven book series created by J.K.Rowling gives more justice to the readers’ childhood memories than the movies ever could.

very hard to catch. If you catch the ball, your team wins, and the game ends. Another example is the Elder Wand. The Elder Wand is the most powerful wand in the wizarding world. In the last Harry Potter book, The Deathly Hallows, Harry puts the Elder Wand back in Dumbledore’s tomb, where Voldemort stole it. The film shows Harry breaking

the wand, leaving it useless forever. It doesn’t make sense for Harry to put the wand in the exact same place where it was already stolen. Overall, a film can show more imagery to help you understand the story better.

Movies are Magic By Maggie Beth King Many readers have often wanted to see their favorite books and characters come to life. The Harry Potter series is a great example of the characters and scenes of a book coming to the big screen. Quidditch happens to be the most important sport in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, but

explaining the game in the books tends to be boring. The movies make the Quidditch games way more entertaining by showing the different elements of the game up close. In the second movie, The Chamber of Secrets, Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy compete to catch the golden snitch. The golden snitch is a super small ball that flies in the air, and it is

Awareness through Adaptation By Jaylin Daniel The Fall of the House of Usher is a Netflix adaptation of a short story of the same name, which also strings together a collection of Edgar Allen Poe’s greatest poems and tales in an amazing and inspiring conglomerate of literary film. The limited series features a diverse concoction of psychotic and narcissistic characters whose sole purpose is to “change the world” through a pharmaceutical company by the name of Fortunato, whose name happens to be a reference to a character from the short story “The Cask of Amontillado.” The stories are each performed perfectly to drive the horror aspect of the show, and the planning of small details make the series rewatch-

able several times over. While the stories do take their own perspectives on Poe’s works, they maintain the importance of solidifying the late writer’s name in history and ensuring he will not soon be forgotten. The series itself also features an urgent

message in the form of the Usher family and their company. The Usher family is clearly derived from the philanthropic and sadistic Sackler family, who maintained control over Perdue Pharma in order to sell their falsely identified

“non-addictive” opioid: OxyContin. Much like the Sacklers, the Usher family uses false documentation and fraudulent information to enforce the overprescription of Ligadone, the mirror character of OxyContin. In reality, OxyContin and the Sacklers were the forefathers of the ongoing opioid epidemic, and this show is dire for the awareness it could produce about the disease which is addiction and opioid abuse. The Fall of the House of Usher is one of the most important adaptations of literary film for its historical value in maintaining the image of Edgar Allen Poe and authors of old and its relevance to the ongoing struggle of the opioid crisis.

Do More People Listen to Pop or Country?

By Emily Davis

After a recent poll of Hartselle High School students, The Tiger Times discovered that tastes in music may make a change in favorite genre. Ninth and tenth graders seem to be more interested in pop where eleventh and twelfth graders seem to enjoy country and rock. Many people like the music genre pop. One reason may be because of the artist Taylor Swift. Taylor Swift has sold over “114 million album units worldwide.” Some of Taylor Swift’s songs like “ I Don’t Want To Live Forever” and “Blank Space” have had over 1.2 billion people listen to them. Although many people like pop music, there are still some that like country music. Country music

has been around since 1910. With many artists from old to new like George Jones, Merle Haggard, Randy Travis, Johnny Cash, Loretta Lynn, Dolly Parton, Tim McGraw, Luke Combs, Toby Keith and so many more, country music is still continuing to grow till this day. Most people listen to country music if they’re having a big bonfire or getting together with their family members or even at weddings. From a recent poll taken at HHS, most students chose lyrics over instrumental. Some of the few students that chose instrumental music are Abigail Winsett, Preston

Lovett, Virginia Wade and Michael Hale. Some of the students that chose lyrics are Lanie Shaw- “I just want myself,” Ella Putman- “Find someone who grows flowers in the darkest parts of you,” Sydney Lewis- “Somewhere over the rainbow/Bluebirds fly”, and Emilee Stephenson- “If you got a dream, chase it.”

The Seven Companions By Payton Fetner W i t h any live-action remake of an animated movie, there are bound to be changes to the original version, but some aren’t always for the better. The majority of Disney fans have reduced the live-action movies down to cashgrabs that aren’t worth the watch. Actress Rachel Zegler has taken on the role of playing Snow White, but at what cost? Not only did they replace the well known seven dwarfs with six averagely sized men and only one guy with actual dwarfism, but the scenes featur-

ing the prince “could get cut.’’ Zegler also claimed that she was “scared of the original version.” Many fans want to know why Disney would hire someone to play a princess they don’t even like? Disney’s attempts at being more

inclusive can come off as even more harmful. Why hasn’t Disney made new inclusive princesses instead of infringing on the history of

the original princesses. Sometimes the adaptations can become less inclusive than what was started with. There’s no wonder that with every announcement for live-action remakes some sort of controversy and issues arise within hours. Take The Little Mermaid remake for example. When people found out the main character was going to be a woman of color, they were outraged. There’s no doubt that live-action remakes will continue to be produced, but one can only hope that with each controversy, Disney will take action to improve.

Crafting the Creepiness By Abigail Winsett Though many people seem to believe that books cannot possibly be frightening since they lack visuals, Shirley Jackson’s 1959 novel The Haunting of Hill House firmly debunks this notion. This ability to horrify the reader through words alone is why it is widely regarded as one of the best and creepiest novels in the horror genre. Horror movies are typically considered scary when the jumpscares are abundant, the visuals are chilling and the gore is omnipresent. A book cannot live up to these same standards. English teacher Terri Gourgeot, however, says that books “can be more scary” than movies because when you read, “your brain

comes up with its own worst fear.” Unfortunately, most horror novels still fall short of being genuinely frightening. It takes a talented writer to cultivate the neces-

sary atmosphere and plot which must exist in perfect harmony to create a properly scary novel. Jackson achieves this in The Haunting of Hill House through a couple of unique tools. The story is told from the perspective of Eleanor Vance, a

woman who begins the story with a sane mind but descends suddenly into irrationality. Reading from her shocking point of view means the reader feels as if they are losing their mind alongside her. This madness is perhaps more frightening than any cheap jumpscare could ever be. Jackson also uses cryptic descriptions to instill a sense of foreboding into the reader. The horror genius of the book resides in the fact that nothing is ever explained to the reader or the characters. Every unexplainable occurrence remains exactly that: unexplained. When a writer tries to make their book scary in the way that movies are, they’re doomed to fail. It’s only through techniques specific to writing that a book can truly unsettle its audience.

Headline News Connecting One Selfie at a Time By Emma Gregory Most teachers strive towards the relationships that Beth Emerson develops with her students. While Emerson doesn’t have a classroom with students, her presence lights up the school. Emerson has been working in the Hartselle School District for 22 years. Before working at Hartselle High School, she was a special needs aid at Burleson, but Emerson is notorious for running the coffee shop. The coffee shop was started by Fred Wallace

and while she didn’t start it, Emerson says that she

Emerson is also known for the selfies she takes around school. Throughout the hallways, it’s never surprising to see Emerson taking pictures with the students. She even runs an instagram account highlighting the pictures she has taken throughout the school day. Her approach to connecting with the students have helped them feel loved and cherished, with many students commenting that if they are having a rough day, a picture with Emerson can make them feel so much brighter.

Clubs Update By Abigail Winsett The Future Farmers of America- The Future Farmers of America (FFA) recently helped out at F. E. Burleson Elementary School’s Farm Day event. Member Chesney Taylor says “all of the FFA officers bring animals or come to help out with the kids.” The students at F.E.B. were able to pet and feed the animals, which were a mix of “cows, sheep, chickens, horses and bunnies,” according to Taylor. Key Club- The Key Club has been devotedly helping orignizations such as Toys for Tots and Feeding Families of

Alabama through donations and volunteer work. Members are currently assembling 175 boxes of Saltine crackers for a Thanksgiving Food Drive. National Honor Society- The National Honor Society, on a note a bit closer to home, has been showing their appreciation for the HHS teachers by bringing a vast variety of home-cooked goods for the staff to enjoy and creating handmade cards. International Thespian Society- The members of the International Thespian Society have been busy preparing for their upcoming performances- both at the school

and at competitions such as Trumbauer. Student Government AssociationSGA recently elected its officers for this year. Eleanor Vest will be serving as president, with Mary Frances Itsede as her Vice President. Speech and Debate- The Speech and Debate Team has been hard at work since their competition season started. They’ve competed in two separate events this school year. The first was a congressional debate, and three stu-

Six representatives from Hartselle High School’s medical program have prepared a presentation on how to prevent the loss of life in an emergency situation, specifically in the case of blood loss. The students ultimately gave their presentation on Nov. 8 at the Hartselle Chamber of Commission’s Lunch and Learn event. To prepare, they presented to different classes around the school. The presentation, provided by the American College of Surgeons, is meant to teach people without any prior experience in the medical field how to potentially save a life in an ever growing

climate of violence. The medical program representatives, who are a blended mix of seniors and juniors, each teach a different section of the slideshow, ranging from how to properly call 911 to how to apply a tourniquet. After instructions on what to do were provided, the representatives gave demonstrations using prop legs. With these legs, they showed how to hold pressure on and compact a wound, as well as how to apply a tourniquet. When the presentation was over, the representatives each took a prop leg to the students watching and had them perform the procedures they had just learned.

dents, Mary Frances Itsede, K.K. Morgan and Jeremiah Crow, placed first, fifth and third respectively. The team also competed in a mock trial competition, in which they placed fourth.

By Aubrey Cottrell Cross Country: They competed on October 26, and brought home a title. Grace Goldman placed first in the three mile, and Ethan Medendorp placed third in three mile. They also competed on November 2, at sectionals. The girls team placed 4th, so they will all move on to state. Ethan Medendorp will be competing for the boys at state.

Scholar’s Bowl The Scholars’ Bowl team has partaken in two competitions this year under the guidance of Joel McCay, along with President Eleanor Vest and Vice-President Ethan Loyd.

Football: This team keeps on winning. With a final record of 8-2, they go on to compete in playoffs. We will be hosting playoffs on Nov. 11. Unfortunately, Noah Lee has an arm injury at the moment and trainers are doing everything to fix it. Peyton Steele was put in to play Quarterback at the Bob Jones game to save Noah Lee’s arm. Swimming: On October 28, they competed at Grissom Halloween Invite. Brady Baylis placed 8th in the five hundred yard freestyle, and Nori Jones placed 12th in the 100 yard backstroke. They are now preparing for sectionals. Sectionals is on November 17-18. They intend on winning and heading to state at Auburn.

The medical students’ objective of educating everyday people on how to stay calm and save a life in an emergency situation is the sort of pertinent and compassionate goal that students should strive for.

CAP: From the Class To the Frontlines By AWilliam Miller

In this day and age, the need for servicemen and women is on the rise, but to fill the demand, the availability of education on the subject must be met. At Hartselle High School, this need is met by our Civil Air Patrol class. The Civil Air Patrol class teaches students the fundamentals of the military, airforce and being a part of the U.S. reserve. CAP’s mission, as stated by Jeremiah Crow, a ranked Airmen Cadet, is “to promote integrity, volunteer service, excel-

lence and respect amongst cadets such as myself.” In the class Jeremiah points to responsibility as a core value of CAP.“Self-management is not only essential, but effectively required in order to perform well in the CAP Cadet Program.” In CAP, students will learn a great deal about the practices of the U.S. military and airforce, including drills, uniforms and mannerisms useful in the service. Another big part of CAP are the extracurricular activities. Eli Jett, a high ranking member of the CAP class, points to “meetings at (National Emer-

activity that the school holds, and seeing herself in the skits makes her feel so honored and loved. Emerson had lots of advice to give regarding helping students succeed at HHS. She wants students to know that it is okay to have some fun these four years of high school and to not let the pressure of work overwhelm you. She also wants every student to know that they are loved at HHS and will always have her to come to.

She even calls the school her “home away from home.” She also told The Tiger Times that this school is like family to her, and she couldn’t imagine working anywhere else. Emerson is obviously loved by the student body, with every grade including her in their homecoming skit. Emerson says that homecoming is her favorite

From day to day, the CAP is maintained under what Eli says is a “straightto-the-point-and-nothingelse” mannerism, developing students’ abilities to take responsibilities and act accordingly. The CAP course does much in preparing students for the demands asked of a service member. One facet students learn quickly is the mandatory keeping of dress code requiring certain

ranks in the class to fit the exact criteria of appearance, going as far as on certain days everyone in class needing to wear exact uniform with little to no exceptions. Through the course of CAP, the main lessons are imbibed in those who take the class in hopes to pass it on in life or even in service. As CAP shows, the pushing of ethics and responsibility is important and leads to the building of a student’s future character and career.

against Cullman was what lead them to the regionals. Their first game at the VBC was against Buckhorn, and they beat them in three sets. Unfortunately, they lost their final game against Mountain Brook. The girls fought hard and they were sad to see the seniors go on their final game. Dance: As one sport season ends, another begins. As basketball season is vastly approaching, the girls are preparing many dances for it. The team will also now be doing sidelines between time outs.

Journalism and Justice

Breathe

By Jaylin Daniel Dorothy Kilgallen was a pioneer of female investigative journalism and a determined enforcer of justice until her death on Nov. 8, 1965. Although suffering adversity throughout her career, even from the likes of Frank Sinatra, who made derogatory comments about her body, Kilgallen investigated and wrote about some of the most important events in United States history, including the Sam Sheppard murder trial and the assassination of John F. Kennedy. The case of Sam Sheppard was one riddled with bias and lack of knowledge in the field of forensic science. Sheppard

was found guilty of murder by a judge who was quoted by Kilgallen as having said Sheppard was guilty prior to the actual trial, proving that the trial was unfair, which eventually granted Sheppard a second trial. In the second trial, Sheppard was acquitted of his crimes based on the forensic evidence. Without Kilgallen’s feverish effort to right the wrongs of the U.S. courts, Sheppard may have spent the rest of his life behind bars. Kilgallen received fame and gratitude around the country once Sheppard was released from prison, so much so that Jack Ruby himself requested an interview with the star journalist before his trial for the murder of Lee Harvey Os-

wald, JFK’s assassin, was set to take place. Kilgallen jumped at the opportunity, as she believed that there was not a thorough enough investigation done into the assassination, so she took it into her own hands to find answers to America’s unsolved questions. However, before any breakthrough could be made, Kilgallen was found deceased in her home from an apparent overdose of alcohol and barbiturates. She struggled throughout her life with depression, as she was disappointed in her home life and used substances as a way to numb her pain. Her death was ruled an accident, yet the

open and shut status of her death was questioned by conspiracy theorists who believe that she may have found evidence that there was a greater plot in the death of JFK than citizens were told by the government, but her research was nowhere to be found upon discovery of her death, begging the question: was Dorothy’s death simply a way of covering up a bigger mystery?

The Allocation of Allerheiligen By William Miller As a whole, humans hold many things in high esteem. One of those things is our customs. One of our main customs to this day is our holidays. As a part of culture, holidays become highly prevalent. One holiday taking place in November is Allerheiligen. Allerheiligen is a religious holiday in Germany, belonging to the week-long celebration of Die Aller Seleenwoche (All Souls Week), in which the souls of the holy and dead are celebrated with processions and special foods. The celebration of Allerheiligen, or All Saints Day, emerged around 998 AD as a Catholic holiday celebrating the departed who have gone to be with

God. It is followed up on Nov. 2 with Allerseelen, or All Souls Day, which celebrates all lost souls, not just the holy. The events of Die Aller Seleenwoche cover all forms of remembrance. Firstly, it covers

holy souls, but following with the dead, such as those killed in war, es-

pecially WWI and WWII, followed by those who died in car accidents and drowning. The Market Gemeinde St. Nikola, in addition to many other German cities, honor drowning victims by having two men take

a boat on the Danube to place a wreath in the water. From its inception,

the holiday of Allerheiligen is started with the family getting together for a procession through the graveyard with a remembrance and benediction of the graves. The graves are then decorated with candles and bouquets of autumn flowers and twigs of the heath plant. Later, they eat pastries called Allerheiligen Striezel, a braided brioche type bread decorated with coarse sugar crystals. This holiday is very important to the German people due to its ability to allow the community to celebrate and mourn the loss of members of their families. This holiday is exceptional because it is not limited to the loss of only the specially commemorated.

College & Career Ready By: Kylee A. Little COLLEGE: F a u l k n e r University, a Christian University in Alabama, is a great institution of learning and being one with God. Faulkner University aims to glorify God through education of the whole person. They care about emphasizing the integrity of character in a caring and Christian environment, one where every individual matters every single day. Faulkner University is a 4-year university

CAREER: T h e r e are many jobs, however, that do not require college degrees. One of these is a construction worker. Construction workers start off as apprentices and receive on the job training. Through their on the job training, they will receive construction labor classes. As a part of these classes, people will learn the proper way of rigging, tunneling, pipe-laying, signaling and forklift safety courses, along

with an acceptance rate of 64.6%. Faulkner University is based in Montgomery, Alabama, and is a wonderful place of

with a good deal of other safety and medical courses. The amount of time a person will spend as an ap-

learning and religion. Tuition is approximately $23,000, but scholarships are easy to acquire. They offer both academic and

prentice and student depends upon the employer and the specialization but, on average, 2–4 years.

religious scholarships. In order to obtain the academic scholarship, one must have at least an ACT score of 20 or a SAT score of 950. In order to be accepted into Faulkner University, the applicant must have at least an ACT score of 17, or a SAT score of 870, and a GPA of 3.36. For anyone wanting to strengthen (or develop) their relationship with God, while keeping up with their education and pursuing a career, then Faulkner University is the school The Tiger Times recommends.

Once the on the job training is completed, a construction worker will typically work 6–12 hours a day, making 14–24 dollars an hour depending upon experience. With tax deductions and days off, this adds up to be about 30,000–45,000 dollars a year in Alabama. Construction workers will work for about 38 years before finally retiring at around the age of 61 and living out the rest of their days in peace.

By: Tamara Reynolds Breathe. That’s all he could think. Breathe and run. His lungs ached for a break, coming in short panicked gasps. His legs had fallen numb, just the sheer adrenaline keeping him moving as he raced through the building. He could hear the thundering beats of the creature’s forepaws slamming hard against the tile floors. He felt the prickle of tears fill his eyes, blurring his vision. He couldn’t cry now, there was no time. Which was of the essence. Don’t look. He thought. His head angled backwards painfully-- against his will. A huge lumbering canine-like animal bounded towards him. Its pelt was a charcoal black, with a smokey-like texture. Like a feral shadow, catching up to its owner. The boy’s heart sank, watching it easily match his pace. To it, this was just a cat and mouse game. And he was the mouse. Acluster of sleek back spines raised from the animal’s back, its milky; pupiless eyes locked on him. The exit was just a couple of metres away. He forced himself faster, his muscles locking up with agonising protest. It pounced forward, using its dire wolf sized body as a blockade. The white lights flickered, sending a rush of darkness over the chaotic scene. He screeched to a stop, crying out. This was it. The end. The animal pushed itself against the door, staring at him. Its upper lip curled, what looked to be the start of a snarl, faded into a slightly parted snout. “Nowhere.” It spoke. It’s tongue and lips moving unnaturally. Its voice, however, was not its own. It came from all around- the walls; the ceiling; everywhere. It echoed out, ringing like a desolate cavern. Eerie, and spine-chilling. He panted, ready to collapse. Nowhere? The creature tilted his head to the side, the wispy dark smoke of its body whisking through the air with the movement. It knew something he didn’t. And it had to do with the exit door. He backed away, the fear of just the sight of this harrowing animal caused his breath to shorten again, his legs trembling weakly. The dog backed up, nudging the door open with the end of its snout. It was swung open, like a dark vacuum. There was, in fact, nothing. A dark void, twinkling with distant specs of light. The dog was right. And all this time, the real danger was this endless hole.

B u rn in g F l am e By: Jaylin Daniel Binded together were the souls of two, They danced together in fields of a dream, The fever of love burned in them like the flu, And though clouds of envy they screamed. They burned with the heat of a match, As their souls grew steadily attached. They held each other tight, Embraced in each other’s arms. As their flames burned a light so bright, So bright that they can’t be harmed. For their souls were two in one, And their flame burned brighter than the sun. They loved as no one had before, Losing each other in eyes of beauty, And as the feelings in their heart tore, They began to flee out of the door And ran home holding each other As slowly their love was smothered.
