The Culinary Arts class is teaming
up with Stockton Beautiful to create a
garden where the culinary students can
grow fresh produce for dishes they create.
“Growing and eating food from
your own garden is safer than buying
them,” said Lars Lundgren, Culinary Arts
instructor. “By November we hope to see
vegetables.”
Their goal is to plant a garden so
the students can learn to grow their own
vegetables from seeds and use them in
future meals.
The garden will be located on the
south side of campus, near Stuart Larson.
To top it off the project is non-profitable to
give the students the full experience
The class applies scientific
principles to research and development
of food products and the food service
industry.
Stockton Beautiful, the team that
is helping the Culinary team, was founded
by Charles Lester and Gerry Dunlap in
1993.
Over the years they have raised
hundreds of thousands of dollars for civic
improvement.
They are an organization that
promotes the appreciation of Stockton
through planting rose gardens and
cleaning.
Culinary Arts is a class in Career
and Technical Education Department.
Before you can take this class, you must
first pass Food Science/Nutrition 1&2. Be
sure to join and be part of the excitement.

Gas prices are decreasing rapidly.
In fact, U.S. drivers can look forward to
$2 gas prices later this year. Gas prices
are going down because oil prices are
going down. Reduction of Oil sales has
happened due to many factors, such as the
Iran Nuclear Deal, increase in American
produced oil, no major disasters occurring
in prime oil country such as the Gulf of
Mexico, and lastly winter gasoline is the
most inexpensive.
“ I think the fact that gas prices
are going down is a great thing. I do not
drive but I will not feel as guilty when I
catch a ride with friends,” said Jessie
Villagram senior. The United States has not
bought oil from Iran since 1995, but with
the Iran Nuclear Deal it would enforce
strict limitations on Iran’s nuclear program
with an exchange for relief from economic
sanctions, such as allowing Iran to sell oil
to the United States.
“Since I have a vehicle with poor gas
mileage I was very pleased to hear
the news,” said Dimaugio Gutierrez,
sophomore.
The national average is expected
to fall 23 percent in 2015 to $2.60 per
gallon, according to the federal Energy
Information Administration. Lower prices
at the Gas pump would bring more than
$100 billion into the American economy
over the course of the year.
Gas prices should continue their
decline throughout the year of 2015.
The United States is just skimming the
surface of our super-abundant oil and
gas recourses. New fields have been
discovered in Texas and North Dakota that
could contain hundreds of years of shale
oil and gas supplies.
Falling gas prices have a huge
effect for the economy because most
Americans spend a huge amount of their
hard earned money on gas.
Currently, gas prices are the
lowest they have been for this time of the
year since 2009, according to gas price
report. Enjoy the decreasing gas prices
because gas prices increase and decrease
regularly. “I plan on taking advantage of
the decreasing gas prices by going on a few
road trips with in the months to come, ”
said Alayna Williams’s junior.

During his visit to the U.S., Pope
Francis met with Kentucky clerk, Kim
Davis, on Sept. 24 in Washington D.C.’s
Vatican embassy, where Davis addressed
her opposing views on gay marriage. After
the meeting , Davis was arrested and held
for six days after refusing a federal judge’s
order to issue marriage licenses to gay
couples.
Davis has been at the center of
nationwide controversy over whether
businesses have a legal right to refuse to
serve gay couples. This publicity assisted
in attracting controversy toward Davis and
led to her arrest.
Davis was released on Sept.
30 and is still not issuing any marriage
licenses. Back to work, Davis claims
that she is committed to her beliefs as an
Apostolic Christian toward gay marriage,
even if it means more time in prison.
Francis was asked if he supported
individuals who claim that religious liberty
is a reason to disobey the law.
“Refusing and objecting is a right
that is part of every human being,” said
Francis.
Since his election in 2013, Francis
has been well perceived by liberals and the
gay community because of his criticism
on inequality. But his meeting with Davis
and his apparent tolerance of her anti-gay
marriage decision has convinced people
into thinking that he was on her side.
Francis’s meeting with Davis
was not the first meeting he had with
Americans involved in religious liberty
cases. The pope met with various other
groups as well, including the Little Sisters
of the Poor, victims of physical abuse, and
transgender people.
Francis was last seen exiting the
Vatican embassy in Washington D.C. after
his short 15 minute meeting with Davis,
who was with her husband. He presented
both of them with rosaries before leaving
the country. Davis continues to refuse
marriage licenses to gay couples. She has
stated that her decision to refuse to issue
gay marriage licenses was done so under
God’s authority.

While LHS ranks high in academic
accomplishments, coming in at 385 out of the
2,199 high schools in California according to
USnews.com, the school cannot say the same
about the conditions of the bathroom facilities
around campus.
In general, the resources and facilities
at LHS are exceptional, but when it comes to
the conditions of the bathrooms some students
and visitors are displeased. The bathrooms are
ranked the lowest of every other aspect of LHS at
only 4.8 out of 10 on the high school review site
k12.niche.com.
“When I use the restrooms, I feel as if
I walked into a gas station. The puddles on the
floor are
disgusting.

stalls,”
s a i d
Dominic
Gauuan, junior. “I strongly think that it’s now a
case of the school giving up. In some bathrooms,
there are locks missing from the stalls, which
is unacceptable. I hope the school will fix this
problem soon. I noticed the issue my freshman
year. No telling how fast visitors make or chang
their first impressions of our school when they
reach the bathroom or even walk by them. I
believe some students have given up on order and
need to at the least attempt to maintain a level that
some people deem acceptable.”
The custodians have also noticed the
issue of the state of the bathrooms.
“The kids at Lincoln are mostly the cause
of the messes. The students won’t do anything
if the teachers are around though. Maybe the
school can have more people patrolling making
sure students don’t loiter,” said Jeff Robinson,
custodian at LHS for two years.
Karen Wilfong, custodian of 15 years,
agrees that the school could do more.
“I think the school can take action
too. At least add stronger towel dispensers and
strengthen separators or even the locks,” said
Wilfong.
The person in charge of the bathrooms
at LHS is the Associate Superintendent of
Human Resources Michele Marquez Tatum. The
Lincolnian Staff atempted to contact with Tatum
with no response.

Kim Kardashian has become a model for most
women. People look to Kim Kardashian for advice
as to how they should look but she is really only a
bad infuence.
Kim Kardashian is all over the media, which
causes her influence on body image to be greater.
But should society praise her for her body with her
excessive use of plastic surgery?
There are many mixed opinions on this issue.
“I think she is giving the wrong impression.
Girls are going to look at her and think they need to
look like her. It’s bad influence because she is famous
because of her body and not her actions,”said Caleb
Jynes, Senior.
So she may not have the best influence
personality wise, but what about her changing her
body for society’s sake and having people praise
her for it.
“I know she’s confident and there isn’t
anything bad about it,” said Malena Mendez, senior.
Even though she is influencing the use
of plastic surgery, it’s pretty refreshing to see
the media focus on several different body types.
The media will always focus on the petite size of
models, but the Kardashian spotlight is reinforcing
the idea that there isn’t an ideal body type.
“It doesn’t matter how a body looks. It’s
the way you are. It’s more personality, “ said Ryan
Gueffroy, Junior.
A persons personality should matter more
to people than the way that somebody looks, but
that is not how people view a person.
The fact that people let one person in the
world affect the way that they act and dress is crazy.
People need to learn to be there own person and not
allow others to negativly affect them.

myth.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt laying on the tight rope spanned across the

A walk into history
Julian Padilla
Staff Wrtier
The Walk is a movie based
on a true story about a man who tight
roped across the twin towers. It happened on August 7, 1974 and it took
him 45 minutes to walk
across. He kneeled and
lay down on the tight
rope. Joseph Gordon
Levitt portrays him
in the movie; his real
name is Philippe Petit.
As a boy,
Philippe Petit dreamed of performing daring feats for dazzled crowds.
As an adult, his life’s dream came
true when he became a high-wire
artist who stared death in the face
with every step. Under the help of
mentor Papa Rudy, the French daredevil devised a plan to walk on a
tightrope attached to the north and
south towers of the World Trade
Center.
It was really dangerous to
walk, kneel or lay
down. When he made it to
the other side of the rope cops were
waiting for him and he was arrested. He was held in custody but all
chargers were dropped. For Joseph
Gordon
Levitt
to walk the tight
rope Philippe Petit
trained Levitt for
a week and he got
the hang of it.
The Walk

Fetty Wap to the top
Juan Solis
Staff Writer
Fetty Wap has recently
dropped his first studio album appropriately titled Fetty Wap. Fetty Wap is
a New Jersey singer and rapper. Who
has recently been topping the charts
with songs like “Trap Queen”, “679”,
and “My Way”. On this album you
will be getting very danceable instrumentals, some hard hitting beats, and
of course Fetty’s signature drawn out
singing style.
Unfortunately, the album is
not varied, and no risks were taken
using Fetty Wap’s voice. The constant
use of auto-tuned melodies, mentions
of trap houses and verses from his
group member Monty, get old around
half way through. Too many songs
over stay their welcome, allowing
for their hooks to get stale before
the third verse even comes around.
The last five songs feature some of
the worst songs on the entire album.
They are boring, and for the most part
unbearable, yet this album has some
very redeeming qualities. When Fetty hits the mark for a good song, he
does it well. Songs like “D.A.M.”
and RGF Island demonstrate Fetty’s
potential to make nice, catchy songs.
“This record is hot as heck.
I’m always bumpin this spicy record!
I give this album a 17/38!” said Junior, Ryan Willard, a big fan of Fetty’s work.

The girls’ tennis team poses with big smiles before an exciting game and look foward to the season.
It’s nearing the end of the season for the
girls tennis team, but it is just getting to the heat of
the matches.These girls have been tearing up the
court since August and continue until the end of the
month.
This year there are 20 girls that were
lucky to make the Trojan team.These girls range
from freshmen to seniors and each had to work
very hard to find their own spot on the team.
“This season’s varsity girls tennis league
record is 1-5 but the overall record is 4-5,” said
Serenity Carter, Junior.
Carter is on the varsity tennis team and
has been working hard with all the girls defending
the teams’ championship. The coach has extended
their practices in order to help them on the courts.
“We are being more supportive towards
each other and this is helping us play better,” Carter said.
This just goes to prove that teamwork and
sportsmanship is important in any sport.Carter is
reaching out to be the best that she can possibly
be, and with the help of her team, is striving to win
each and every game with each other.

This year’s women’s golf team is off to a
great start. After six wins and one loss, these girls
are filled with potential. With ten players, the golf
team has played two outside tournaments. In the
2015 Helen Lengfeld Memorial HS tournament the
girls placed fourth of the 12 teams, and in the 2015
Hilmar HS Yellow Jacket’s tournament, the girls
achieved first place out of 15 teams.
Golf coach Mathew Teeters started off as
the boys golf coach in Spring 2009, to the spring of
2012. Teeters began coaching the girls golf team in
the fall of 2011.
Last year, the team was able to reach Masters, which includes divisionals, masters, nor-cal,
and state. The second level of the post season (masters) has only been accomplished once in LHS girls
golf history. The girls have pushed through and are
looking forward to their close battle against Lodi
High. Pushing through the season, Teeters helps the
girls through their hardships and accomplishments.
“My goal for the team is that each young
lady continues to learn the valuable life lessons this
sport teaches: honesty, integrity, sportsmanship,
respect, confidence, responsibility, perseverance,
courtesy, and judgement,” said Teeters.
Girls Golf has alot in store for this season
with their accomplishments and motivations.

When it came to the soccer match between
the LHS Trojans and St. Marys Rams, St Marys
didnt have a prayer. The Trojans took on the Rams
on Friday Oct. 9 in the football stadium.
The Trojans ended up winning 2-0. The
game was scoreless after the first half of the game,
in which there wasn’t much action. The highlight
of the first half was ten minutes into the game
when Quin Graham, sophomore hit a shot off of
the crossbar.
The second half started the same way that
the first half did, with little to no exciting plays
being made by either team. LHS scored their first
goal of the game off of a corner that was headed in
by Josh Clement. They would go on to later score
a second goal that would make the game 2-0 and
essentially over.
The LHS goalie Johan Garibay, sophomore
allowed zero goals to the Rams in the two games
that were played between the two teams.
This win moved the Trojans to 13-2-2
on the season and 8-0-2 in league play, which has
them in first place in the TCAL league. They are
two games ahead of the Tracy Bulldogs, with five
games left on the season, and they are all in-league
games.
“ Our team has done really well so far
this season and we have been playing really
well together. We have developed very good
chemistry,”said Enrique Martinez, senior.
The Trojans still have one more game
against the Rams and it is the final game of the
season on Oct. 28 at 7 p.m. at St. Marys. As long
as the Trojans play how they have against all of
their league opponents, they will have no problem
winning the TCAL.
The soccer team has played excellent this
season compared to last season, and it looks like the
new coach may have found a strategy that will lead
to the Trojans future success.
Boys soccer ties 0-0 at the beginning of the game against St. Marys. Varsity fights through the
game. With all of the hardwork put into practice, it was finally payed off at the game of the year.

The Stockton American Hockey League
team, The Thunder, have moved on to Glens
Falls, New York after the former team the
Adirondack Flames bought The Thunder
and took their place in Stockton.
The name “Stockton Heat” was finally decided after a fan competition was
held in which over 10,000 entries were
submitted even internationally. The top
ten contestants were offered two tickets to
the home-opener game. The person who
entered the suggestion Stockton Heat was
given a pair of tickets for all of the games in
the 2015-2016 seasons.
“I’m sort of surprised,” said Dave Piecuch,
the Stockton team president. “It shows that
the fans have embraced the Calgary Flames
franchise and want something close to the
original name. We were simply blown
away by the amount names submitted.”
Although the name change to Stockton
Heat was known by a lot of people who
follow the team, not many Stocktonians
knew about the switch that occurred.
“I didn’t even know about the name
change. Stockton Thunder was a very
famous name. I don’t agree with it, but I
guess you can’t really do anything. I used
to like The Thunder when I was a kid I
don’t think the name will change affect the
fanbase a lot. However, since the players
also changed it might make people more
distant,” said Jalen Balbin, junior.
Stockton Heat has already played one
game against the Rockford IceHogs, which
earned their first victory under their new name with a score of 7-0.
