Snow has hit Ohio hard, making it difficult to go to where one needs. These snow storms make it hard for school buses to drive around and drop off kids, while cleaning off cars is a major hassle for students.
BY MALLORY GRUICH
AND NICK TAVANELLO
Many students and staff
members returning to school
after winter break have one
question on their mind.
“What will happen if we
have more snow days?”
With
Wadsworth
City
Schools already using the
maximum three snow days,
students may find themselves
making up days of school
later in the year if bad weather
continues.
The calamity days that
schools have been allowed in
Ohio have been reduced from
five to three.
With
half of the winter
season remaining, hundreds of
schools find themselves having
already used all three calamity
days.
Schools that have used three
calamity days are trying to
find alternative ways to make
up the missed time.
One solution that schools
N
u m b e r
students would rather do school
work at home during a snow
day or come in for makeup days
at the end of the school year.
“If we had to take online
classes on snow days, I would
feel like the snow days would
be pointless. Snow days are
lazy days, not work days,” said
Erika Scarberry, 12.
Under Former Governor
Ted Strickland, the number
of calamity days was reduced
from five to three- a big drop
for Ohio schools. Strickland
and Co. wanted to eventually
not allow schools to have any
calamity days.
New Governor John Kasich,
who was sworn in January
9, said that he will be doing
his best to allow two more
snow days, due to the weather
conditions
causing
safety
issues.
Although schools may be
granted more calamity days this
year, we are not promised more
in the future. The underlying
have used in the past is delaying
school two hours to see if the
roads clear up.
WCS
does not use this,
however.
Difficult
bus
routes,
temporary
child
care
arrangements
and
transportation changes make it
hard for the school system to
utilize this method.
In Cincinnati, OH, the
possibility of having school
online during snow days is
being strongly considered.
However, complications with
whether or not all students have
access to the Internet, let alone
a computer, obscure matters.
With approval from the Ohio
Department
of
Education,
one Ohio District has been
investigating a one-year pilot
program to see how it could
provide schooling to students
with or without Internet access
during snow days.
Although doing school work
on a snow day is disappointing,
the question arises whether

o f
a l a m i t y

Wadsworth
Inside
the

problem of determining the
amount of snow days Ohio has
per year still exists.
For seniors, adding extra
days onto the end of the year
does not sound very appealing.
For the senior class, the school
year ends May 6, and since the
three calamity days allowed
have been used, days will be
added on to the shortened year.
So, many of the seniors are
hoping Governor Kasich will
expend the amount of calamity
days back to five.
“As a senior, I would feel
mistreated if snow days were
added to the end of our school
year. I would like to get out
of high school and carry out
my master plan as soon as
possible,” said Dom Owens, 12.
These days being added
would not affect regular
schooling for students but may
affect final exams. The normal
exam week procedures would
still be the same, just a few
days later in the week.

The school year ends for
the rest of the school on May
27, and with Wadsworth going
over the calamity days, the
end of the school year would
be extended. Students would
have a couple days of their
summer break taken away.
“I would be angry if our
school year ended later than
May 27. I look forward to
getting out of school earlier
this year. It would ruin part
of my plans for summer,” said
Hannah Centea, 9.
With many more days of
winter left, many people hope
the new governor extends the
number of calamity days back
to five instead of the three we
have.
If he does not extend the
days, Ohioians will find
themselves adding a few
unfortunate days onto the end
of the school year. But, if the
number of days is extended
back to five, students can take
a sigh of relief.

Academic integrity
lacks in final semester
Editorial
It is hard to believe that we are
already starting the third grading
period of this school year.
Despite the fact we are halfway
done with another year, students
need to remember that
every grading period
counts.
We at The Bruin feel
that students, seniors
especially, need to buckle
down and finish the year
strong.
For the class of 2011,
time is running out! May
6 and 22 are quickly
approaching and students need
to be aware of what is in store
for us.
As seniors, we are able to opt
out of taking a final if we hold an
A or B average in most classes
and do not receive a discipline
report. This might seem like an
easy task, as most students feel
they are able to coast in the last
semester of the year. However,
teachers are becoming more and
more aware of “senioritis” and
are doing whatever they can to
keep students motivated.
Juniors need to be ready for
what is to come in the following
year. Senior year seems to be a
time full of fun and excitement,
but the stress of searching for
the right college often goes
unnoticed. College dreaming,
alongside current school work,
can be an overload for some
students, and the upcoming class
needs to prepare themselves for
the final year in school.
As for the underclassmen, you
still have a lot of time to spend
in these great halls. However, do
not dig yourself in a hole with
your grades. Your GPA is fragile
and hard to build up in a short
time, so do not let up and keep
on pushing.
Good luck to all students and
finish the year strong! It will be
worth it.

Brewin’ Debate
Is Kinect for Xbox 360 better than Wii?
YES
NO
By hayden kilbride
By brad virgin
If anybody thinks that the Wii is better
than the Kinect, then they should learn the
meaning of fun. In the dictionary you will
see a picture of the Kinect for the word “fun.”
Not only are the few games for the Kinect
better than any game that the Wii could
come up with for the last couple of years,
but they have perfected it in such little time.
Kinect is clearly better because there are no
controllers that you need to deal with, or worry
about using. You are actually in control of the
game that you are playing. If you love to play
beach volleyball, then you are actually able to
play in the middle of December. “Ever since
I got the Kinect, it has been almost impossible
to stop playing it. I have never enjoyed a
game console more,” said Matt Woods, 12.
Even though the Kinect does not
have the impressive sales stats like the
Wii does, just wait a year and the sales
will certainly surpass those of the Wii.
This is not even a debate. The Wii is
a much better product. First of all, the
Wii can be played by any age, unlike the
Kinect which cannot pick up some players...
“The Kinect is not very reliable, and can
break very easily, while the Wii picks up
movement much better than the Kinect.” said
Haley Hassinger, 10. Also, Bri Clendaniel said
the following when asked what she thought
about Kinect vs. Wii, “The Wii has many more
games and has a wider variety to choose from.”
In July of 2008, Wii had already sold over
10.9 million systems. In December of 2009,
it sold over three million units in the U.S. The
Kinect is not doing that well. Wii is better for
everyone from any age group. Worldwide, Wii
has shipped out over 79.5 million units as of
September 2010. Also, as of September 2010,
the Wii has sold over 67.71 million copies of
their game Wii Sports. All in all, the Wii is
simply a better system than Xbox 360’s Kinect.
Letters To the editor......
Dear Editor,
Right before winter break, we
had a Career Day when students
went to learn about professions
they were interested in. I visited
Nursing and Physical Therapy.
Going into it, I was thinking that
I wanted to be a physical therapist
and that it would be the most
interesting. It turned out to be
that I was wrong. The nursing
one was very interesting, and very
informative. This is why Career
Day is necessary for all students.
It gives students a chance to learn
things about the profession they
will be doing in the future, and
answer any questions they have.
Danielle Trenta, 11
Dear Editor,
I think that the group and leader
themes at the basketball games
are really cool. It lets kids have
fun and stand up and show how
they’re different and gives them
the confidence to be a leader. It
is something I believe a lot more
people should do because not
too many people these days are
able to be a leader or show that
they’re different or have as much
confidence as they should have.
Plus it really shows how our
school itself stands out from all
of the others and how we’re able
to come together as a whole and
overcome obstacles.
Sean Greear, 12
Dear Editor,
There is no doubt that midterm
week is very hectic. On top
of all the studying, taking the
tests are very stressful. Often
times, midterms are broken into
two halves that are anywhere
from 50 to 100 questions, and
hard to complete in one class
period. I think it would be better
if we were on a different bell
schedule for midterms because
even if the tests are divided into
two parts, sometimes it is still
difficult to finish them in time. It
would make more sense if, like
the middle school, we had our
morning classes one day and our
afternoon ones the next. That
way, we would have more time to
complete the tests and check our
work.
Holly Pantalone, 10
Dear Editor,
I believe that the new groups
and leaders in theme and spirit
for the basketball games are
ridiculous. It has been taken
too far and is becoming too
organized. Just because some
kids said some “bad” things at
a game doesn’t mean everyone
should be punished for it. The
things that kids said weren’t even
controversial; I believe it was no
big deal. The punishment they
got was too harsh as well. We
should be allowed to express and
show our theme just like every
other school. Making us go
through principals and directors
is not fair. We have the right to
show our spirit and taking that
right away is unconstitutional.
Nick Kirven, 11
Dear Editor,
I just wanted to say that I find
it very annoying when we come
to any computer based class and
our P-Drives do not work. If you

Chandler Lowe, 11
Dear Editor,
I attended the Girls varsity
basketball game at Green High
School over Christmas break
and I do not think that it was
deserving of all of the slams we
are getting in the local papers! I
think the student section was out
of line with some of the chants,
but I don’t think it was as big of
a deal as the papers are making it
out to be. I also don’t think it is
fair that the papers are singling
out our school. There are mean
high school student sections all
over the state who haven’t had
articles written about them. I
think the new student section
committee is a good idea, and I’m
also glad these articles haven’t
stopped our student sections from
all the enthusiasm we like to hear.
Kayla Lockwood, 10
Dear Editor,
I don’t think that there are any
problems with our basketball
student section. We just have a
lot of Grizzly spirit. The papers
are bagging on our student
section for having “vulgar”
chants, but we are not the only
school doing this. We may have
gone too far by focusing on one
player, but we get blammed and
Green gets nothing bad said about
them. I think the whole situation
is dumb and they should just let
us cheer whatever we want. It is
called freedom of speech. They
should let us have our rights and
freedoms that we have.
Nathan Pound, 10

Physical education pushed aside
BY ALEXA BAIER
Despite the efforts to
increase children’s activity and
exercise, physical education
classes are being put to the
side with obesity at its all
time highest. This is becoming
a trend that seems to be
spreading not only throughout
the state, but even nationwide.
Starting with this year’s
freshmen, students are given
the option of taking gym or

some schools in the nation
where gym is simply cut due to
the fact they just cant afford it.
Nationwide schools and
states have been urging
people to eat healthier and
exercise
more
regularly.
“Gym teaches me how
to stay fit and be healthy,”
said Amanda Davies, 10.
At many schools, students
have an option of completing
their
Physical
Education
classes in their own free time.
“I think everyone should
have to take gym classes
because there are many
benefits that are not just
physical. You learn many
lifetime skills and staying
healthy for life. You also
learn social skills as well,”
said teacher, Lance Currens.
Obesity in children has
been such a huge issue, and
physical
education
being
removed seems to only be
taking steps in the wrong
direction. Obesity is the
nations number one problem.
There are only five states
left where gym is mandatory.
These states are Illinois,
Iowa, Massachusetts, New
Mexico and Vermont. In
these states gym is to be
taken in all grades K-12.
“I feel
that physical
education
limits
students
ability to explore
multiple
fitness and athletic challenges,”
said teacher, Mike Sladky.
Physical Education classes
have undergone such a
drastic change so suddenly
throughout the nation. Obesity
on the other hand has not
made
any
improvements
and is still a pressing issue.

Redefining school spirit
BY KAITLIN SHERRILL
Since the controversial
events at the Lady Grizzlies’
basketball game at Green,
Wadsworth’s
athletic
director, Mr. Rich Berlin,
has finally been given a
reason to try to implement
his plans for a more positive
student section in the future.
Spirit, as defined by
Dictionary.com, is an attitude
or principle that inspires,
animates or pervades thought,
feeling or action. The “spirit”
that has been written about
our high school has been
described as disrespectful
and malicious. As a result,
administrators would like
to change those negative
words to positive ones.
“School
spirit
means
cheering loudly and supporting
Wadsworth Grizzlies with a
positive attitude; being mean
to other schools is not okay,”
said Katie Youngson, 11.
For about three years now,
Berlin
has been thinking
about the culture of student
sections for all sports and how
he would like it to be changed.
His goal is to form a
student-based
leadership
group
that would be in
charge of the attitudes of
the members of the student
sections at sporting events .
“I don’t believe our students
are negative by nature, they
just got caught up in the heat
of the moment. I see the Green
game as a teachable moment.
We can get better from any
experience,” said Berlin.
The group would consist of
about 15 students: six seniors,
four juniors, three sophomores,
and two freshmen. Members
would be selected based on
the attendance at the games
and they also will portray
confidence as a leader.
Their duty would be to
start positive cheers rooting
for our team, but not to
bring down the opponents’
fans, coaches or players.
To make being a part of this
group worth while, Berlin
would like to allow them a few
privileges. First of all, they
would have a chance to be in the
front row, closest to the game.
Second, he would like them to
be admitted to the home games
for free since the selection
in based on attendance.
Third, to distinguish these
students from the rest of
the crowd, they would be
given red T-shirts to wear
with the group name on the
front representing their city.
“I think it would be cool
to get incentives for leading
positive cheers. This is
a good idea to get a lot
of people to come to the
games,” said Nick Seme, 10.
One of the biggest goals
for this initiative is to have it
practiced throughout the entire
Suburban League. Berlin has
already met several times
with other athletic directors
from surrounding schools
since the incident. Most
of them are on board with
the idea, including Green.
“I think this group would
encourage
more
positive
school spirit in the league
because every school would
have leaders that give students
uplifting cheers to shout
and keep people organized,”
said Bri Clendaniel, 9.
An additional goal would
be to increase the school
spirit among the faculty and
other students at the school.
This core group is still in
the early planning stages of
development and will not
be set in stone this year.

Principal’s
Message
As
noted
in
previous
columns, during this school
year The Principal’s Message
will highlight the “Six Pillars
of Character - Trustworthiness,
Respect, Responsibility, Fairness,
Caring,
and
Citizenship”.
In the November issue, I
addressed Trustworthiness, in
December, Mr. Fortner addressed
Respect, and in this month,
Associate
Principal
Moore
will offer comments regarding
Responsibility.
“Responsibility is defined
several ways in the dictionary but
my favorite is to be able to answer
for one’s conduct and obligations.
(In order for you to be responsible
you need to be held accountable
for your actions and obligations
and do what is right.) Students,
teachers, administrators and
parents all need to be responsible
citizens for our society to run as
designed.
The three groups that I would
like to address in the area of
responsibility
are
students,
teachers/administrators
and
parents. Students, we ask a
great deal of you to maintain
grades, be active in the school,
behave
appropriately
and
honor your word. Sometimes
that responsibility can be
overwhelming for you, however,
that is the real world. Each of
you is at a different phase in your
life. Freshmen and sophomores
are adjusting to high school life,
along with added responsibility
and expectations. Juniors and
seniors are trying to finalize
college and career plans. Your
responsibility is to make good
choices as you enter the adult
phase of your lives.
Teachers and Administrators
need to remember that we are not
perfect. We have made the same
mistakes that our students have
made and will need to continue
to not judge the students but to
try and correct behaviors that will
make our school better.
Parents need to realize that
your sons/daughters do make
mistakes. That doesn’t make
them bad people, only that they
had a moment of non-brilliance.
It is your responsibility to hold
them accountable and support the
corrective behavior if necessary.
As we just finished 2010, look
back and see if you fulfilled your
responsibility to yourself and
others. If you did then great, but
if you didn’t, what are you going
to do? Let’s have a great 2011!”
We appreciate Mr. Moore’s
advice regarding the character
trait of Responsibility. In the
February issue, the next guest
writer will address Fairness.
Character – do you have
it? More importantly, do you
LIVE by it? Or are you simply a
character!
“We are . . . Wadsworth!”

This is the typical life of a hard

seems tough and overwhelming
now, one day it will all be worth
it.
High school: some say your
four years in high school are some
of the best years of your life. Some
teens like to take the easy route
and float through high school,
avoiding any tough classes, late
nights and jobs.
Personally, I believe that

school will help out in the long
run. Take those classes that might

challenge you. Give up your
favorite T.V. program one night
and study a tad bit more, while
putting more effort into things
that you would normally brush
off.
Do not be afraid to take tough
classes. They will challenge you
in a healthy way that will help
prepare you for college. College
prep classes are a great idea and
will give you a sneak peak into
college life.
“I am glad I have put work
into school. Taking college
prep courses will prepare me
for the work load I will have to
endure in college,” said Hannah
Gospodinsky, 12.
Sports and clubs are another
way high school students fill their
time. Being a part of a team or
club will help you in numerous
ways in life. Without a doubt, you
will learn how to deal with group
problems and situations, respect
teammates, and communicate
with coaches.
Sure, you might be exhausted
after a two hour practice, but your
hard work will eventually pay off.
Juggling games, practices, and
meetings will eventually pay off.
You may seem super busy now,
but in a few years having a full
schedule will be normal.
Finding a job in high school
may be difficult for some, but
the benefits of a job are endless.
Future employers like to see the
work experience on a resume.
You will gain many skills and
learn new traits when you are
employed.
“Managing school, basketball,
and a job has taught me time
management. I am confident that
in the future I will be able to
handle a busy schedule,” said Bret
Baughman, 11.
Staying busy in high school
will lead to success in life. All of
the tight schedules and late nights
will one day pay off. If you enter
college with this drive and hard
working mentality, you will be
prepared for anything that comes
your way.
“I am already working hard
trying to prepare myself for the
future,” said Tyler Wise, 9.
Keep working hard and setting
goals for yourself. I promise, one
day all of the hard work will be
worth the trouble.

High school etiquette needs to show improvement
OPINION BY SAMM
Having proper etiquette is
something that every person is
taught at a young age. I believe
that in high school these manners
should be commonplace- when
in fact, it is becoming a rare trait
among our peers.
When walking in the hallway,
you do not need to walk as slow
as a turtle. When a person does
this it causes the hallways to
become congested and backed
up, causing others to be late to
their classes.
You also do not need to kiss
your significant other goodbye
before going into a classroom. I
am sure you will see them again
after school.
“These couples need to take
a picture and put it in their
assignment books, it will last
47%
longer,” said Ryan Murphy, 12.
The hallways here at WHS
are small enough already. Your
whole group of friends does not
have to walk horizontally like
we are playing red rover. There
is not enough room for this, and
if cliques just stop doing this,
the hallways will become less
crowded automatically.
Another way to keep your high
school life easier is to not bring
drama upon your social group.
There are several ways you can
do this. You can bring attention
to yourself when “naming”
your group of friends. This is
unnecessary and will just cause
people to talk about you, and
now you will have to deal with
drama that is uncalled for.
If you want to survive high
school, you probably should
not talk smack about other
people. This will cause plenty of
unnecessary problems for both
the parties involved.
Stop the gossip. This is the way
many fights at this high school
break out, and these type of
things should not be happening
when we are all mature young
adults.

Guide to improve spirit epidemic
OPINION BY LUKE
School spirit in Wadsworth has
become a very hot topic.
Everyone has a point of view.
The administrators feel the
students have crossed the line.
The
students
feel
the
administration needs to loosen up.
The cheerleaders say no one
cheers with them. Others say the
cheerleaders need to cheer louder.
Alright, stop all the bickering. I
have created a simple guide for all of
Wadsworth to bring the city back
to the loud sea of red as it once
was proud to be.
Students: Rules are rules. Get
over it. Even if you do not agree
with our administration, they are
still the boss. Ten years from now
if you keep complaining about
your boss, you will find your butt
on the street. Keep cheering, but
do it for our team, not against
the other, because it is the right
thing to do. It will also benefit the
Grizzly team you are cheering for.
Mr. Berlin: Your
ideas
of positive cheering throughout
the Suburban League well
intentioned, but you seem to be
making a mountain out of a mole
hill.
Principals: It seems like you
are spending all of your time and
effort babysitting our student
section, but are there not bigger
fish to fry? What if you put all this
effort into stopping our kids from
walking right outside our building
to smoke everyday? There sure
as heck would not be a cloud of
smoke hovering over the Gazebo
anymore. And also, let us have
more spirit. Why can we not paint
our faces on gameday? Why is it
that the most spirited day of the
year is the day before the Ohio
State and Michigan game? How
many of you actually went to
Ohio State, and how many of you
work at Wadsworth?
Teachers: There is no excuse as
to why you all do not wear red on
Fridays. How about you all come
to the games for once? Mr. Berg,
kudos to you. Your music in the
hallways and microphone during
football season were awesome.
Keep up the good work.
Student Council: You do a ton
for this school, but our pep rallies
are weak. Popsicle eating contests?
How about we get Mr. Moore, Mr.
Postak and Mr. Flaherty to fast
for a day and have a pizza eating
contest in the afternoon! And

Wadsworth students have shown their support for the Girls basketball team all season long. For the Twinsburg game, they

also, pick a topic and focus on it.
If the topic of the pep rally is the
big game vs Green, talk about the
big game vs Green! Last year we
had to pause our wrestlers’ State
Championship celebration to
introduce our Speech and Debate
team. Give them their own pep
rally, but those two do not mix.
Cheerleaders: When our
sports teams walk into other
schools, they are greeted by signs
throughout the hallways and on
players lockers. You guys do your
job, but you could go above and
beyond. If the students need to be
more involved in the game then
it is the cheerleaders job to get
us there. Also, it seems like our
students are the ones making up
the cheers, not the cheerleaders.
Parents: We all know you
can sit up in the bleachers and
criticize who is coaching, who
is playing and what plays are
being run. How about we let the
players play, the coaches coach,
and the officials officiate, while
we let the parents parent. You
have raised fine young men and
women, so support them! Stand
up and Cheer! Wear your Grizzly
gear and start a “Wadsworth (clap
clap) Grizzlies (clap clap)” chant
every once in a while!
Band: You are awesome.
Everyone knows you are all really
good at playing your instruments,
but show some spirit while doing
so! Join in on the cheers, come
to more basketball games, heck,
come to some away games! I was
just at a St. Ignatius game and they
brought over 50 kids to an away
game with a rockin’ atmosphere.!
Entire School: Do not get all
mad reading this. Read it, take
in the constructive criticism, and
show more school spirt.
Anyone in Wadsworth: If
you have any problem with the
way things are being done, you
are officially welcome into the
student section at any time to help
us out.
We are, Wadsworth!
Beware: Facebook is not a book
OPINION BY NATALIE
As much as our generation
loves to stay connected through
the use of Twitter, texting,
Facebook, and other forms of
“new” communication, it would
be best if these formats never
displace the traditional methods
of the written word, including
literature.
It does not matter how much
a traditionalist may shudder to
think of a novel condensed down
to a short story, it would be even
more of a travesty to attempt any
sort of story-telling in a format
that relies on 140 characters or
less.
“Can you even imagine how
many tweets would be required

mammoth War and Peace?” said

President Obama’s book,
The Audacity of Hope, would
certainly lose some of its audacity

New year brings fresh start
BY TIFFANY WEISS
As students say goodbye
to 2010, a positive attitude is
attained to say hello to 2011. A
new year brings a new beginning,
another chance to get it right:
mend friendships, rekindle love,
and accomplish a resolution for a
new year.
To start off the new year
most individuals set goals for
themselves, something they
want to achieve in the new year.
To help in one’s quest for a
resolution, here are a few of the
most frequently chosen goals for
2011.
The most frequent resolution is
to spend more quality time with
friends and family. Polls show
that over 50 percent of people
vow to appreciate loved ones by
spending more time with them.
Time cannot be taken back, and
anytime one has to spend with
family should be taken advantage
of and cherished.
Many people are very hopeful
to acquire a regular exercise
routine. Studies show that it
reduces a person’s risk of cancer
as well as enhancing moods and
lowering blood pressure.
“I plan on staying in shape
by playing Badminton,” said
Amanda Davies, 10. Getting in
shape and staying healthy helps
people with their confidence and
overall appearance as well. In all,
exercise makes people feel and
look better.
In 2011 people desire to enjoy
life more. With the hectic lives
people live today it is no wonder
it has become a high priority.
Taking time out from the tiring
routine of life can give a person a
new perspective about what they
are really doing with their time.
By taking time out to relax people
get a chance to realize what they
love and maybe make a change.
Many people are taking this
year to learn something new.
Whether they are taking a course
or just reading an informational
book, individuals are taking
advantage of the benefits that
learning something new could
bring them.
Another
reasonable
goal
that made the list is getting
organized. Today, people neglect
the organization they need and
in turn they fall into messy and
uncomfortable situations. There
are many online resources for
organizingand
professional
organizers are available.
People are very accustomed to
getting things fast. They want to
arrive fast, eat fast, go fast and do
things fast, but most people will
miss out on lifes moments if all
they do not slow down. That is
why in 2011 many people are
willing to drive slower.
Driving fast, can cause a
potential accident. Especially
around the winter months, people
need to slow down and drive
closer to the speed limit.
Another priority for 2011 is
F EATURES
THE BRUIN
giving back to others. This can
be not only rewarding for the
person receiving the kindness
but also rewarding to the giver.
Many are committing to a solid
amount of volunteer hours per
week. Whether it be protecting
the rights of animals or helping at
a soup kitchen, anyone, anywhere
can make a difference in their
community by just jumping in
and helping out every once in a
while.
Ending a bad habit is on the
wish list of many for the year
of 2011. Everyone is subject to
a few bad habits and learning
what makes the action appealing
can help one quit doing it. A bad
habit can cost people time and
money. Ending a poor habit can
only bring benefits to the people
performing the habit and the
people around that person.
In all, people take the start
of a new year and make it an
opportunity to try something
new or spend more time with
loved ones. But whatever they
do, hopefully it is something they
are proud of. Setting goals can
benefit anyone, and a new year is
a great time for a fresh start.

Setbacks strike school in 2010
SUBMITTED BY
ALLY MALKOWSKI
EDITED BY JACK SNOWBALL
From the halls of Wadsworth
High School to the west
gymnasium, this past year has
brought the weird and the even
weirder. Sports teams having to
deal with a significant number
of injuries, and fire causing
hazards, difficulties have arose
in the school.
Our school has given us a good
reason to complain about the
problems we have all faced in
the year of 2010. These are just
10 of the many bad moments we
have overcome.
10. New school under
construction: The new high
school has been the cause of
much commotion because we
no longer have Steiner’s for
people to go to and we also have
no tennis courts there anymore.
As well as no recreation center,
the construction is also causing
loud noises, causing students
problems concentrating.
9. Cross Country team suffers
injuries: The girls’ cross
country team was hit with an
injury bug this season causing
eight of their 28 runners to
be out. One of the eight
runners lost was junior Paige
Szabat, who ran at the state
meet both her freshman and
sophomore year, while also
grabbing the Suburban League
championship both of those
years. “It was hard not running
with my team, but I still loved
going and cheering them on,”
said Szabat.
8. Limited parking causes
problems: Due to the band
having to practice on the side
parking lot, students had to
park all the way in the back
in what used to be Steiner’s
parking lot. Because of all the
cars being packed into one
space there was an accident on
the first day of school.
7. No more snow days for
students: The three snow
days given to students have
been used all before Christmas
break. This could eventually
cause an extended school
year for everyone if we have
another snow front come
through. Sitting in school in
January sounds a lot better then
sitting in school in June.
6. Binder gets toasty in oven:
In Nutrition and Wellness, a
binder was found in an oven that
had been on, and it was burnt
causing a problem for a student
whose papers were destroyed.
There is a new one for all you
non-homework doers out there,
“The oven ate my homework.”
5. Fire drill gives students
recess: The fire alarm had some
troubles turning off in May,
making students return back
outside after being called in.
They remained out there for
almost 30 minutes waiting for
the problem to be fixed.
4. Football team is injury
prone: Our football team had
some trouble all staying on the
field this season. There was a
total of 23 players who suffered
from at least one injury during
the season. “It’s pretty tough
when you have that many guys
out for majority of the season,”
said Nick Kirven, 11.
3. Student section takes
cheering too extreme: The
student section took their chants
at the girl’s basketball game to
an extreme, causing problems
for
the multiple people
involved. We always love our
students coming, just not getting
in trouble along the way.
2. Power outage causes lock
down in school: It was a cold
afternoon for students as the
electricity and heat went out in
the school. They had to undergo
a lock down for a whole period
so workers could start fixing
the problem. Bekkah Dee, 10,
said of the complications, “It
was weird that the school had
no electricity, and it was quite
chilly.”
1. Streaking goes public: A
student at one of the boys
soccer games decided to streak
across the field after the final
buzzer sounded. It made Fox8
news the next day, causing
controversy to some. Kenny
Tollet, a sophomore who was
at the soccer game, said of this,
“It was pretty funny, but not the
smartest thing to do.”
All in all, there have been
some setbacks throughout the
year. Hopefully, 2011 brings
more cheers than jeers for the
students at WHS. It can only
go up from here. I have a good
feeling about this year.
How about you?
PHOTOS BY: MCTCAMPUS
With all of these setbacks hitting WHS, such as the loss of power and the
construction of the new school, the staff and students have definitely tried to cope
with these changes.

Most entertaining teachers revealed
BY kara long
Wadsworth High School is
lucky enough to have a staff full
of excellent teachers.
Each teacher has their own
unique style of educating their
students. Some teachers take
an approach that students find
more amusing than others. The
teachers that have gone above
and beyond have been chosen by
students to be on the list of Most
Entertaining Teachers.
5. Mr. Singleton - He teaches
Honors English 3 and General
English 1. Singleton states that
passion and fun are what drive
him as an educator,
“The most important thing for
me is to be excited about what
I’m teaching, and that makes
the lesson more entertaining for
everyone.”
What sets Mr. Singleton apart
from other teachers is his laid
back, fun personality mixed
with the true passion he has for

teaching all of his students.
4. Mrs. Mathews - She
teaches Spanish 2 and Spanish 3.
Mathews, also known as Señora
Mateos, matches her effervescent
personality with even more
radiant and colorful clothing. In
the classroom, students feed off
of her positive attitude. Another
thing that makes Mathews
entertaining is her opera singing.
“The best thing about Senora
Mateos is that she understands
the student’s workload. If we
have a lot of homework two days
in a row, she makes the next day
fun,” said Danielle Braman, 11.
3. Mr. Kibler - He teaches
Marketing. Whether one has him
in the classroom, or just sees him
in the hallways, Kibler always
has something interesting to say.
He uses his humorous side to
catch students attention. The day
of the Ohio State vs. Michigan
football game Kibler strolled the
halls with yellow and blue tape
on his shoes representing the
Michigan team yelling “I can’t get
these ugly colors off me!” Little
instances like this make Kibler
one of the most entertaining and
funny teachers at Wadsworth.
2. Mr. Berg - He teaches
Speech 1, Speech 2, and English
Literature. Students starting
Speech 1 are often apprehensive
about speaking in front of their
peers. With the help of Mr. Berg’s
witty, outgoing personality and
his encouraging teaching skills,
almost every student leaves his
class as a speaking expert. One
thing that always catches the
students’ attention about Mr. Berg
are the random animal noises he
can make.
1. Mr. Callaghan - He teaches
Honors English 2 and Senior
Comp. One thing is for certain: a
student will never have a boring
day in Callaghan’s class. With
his creative catch phrases, each
student leaves his classroom
thoroughly entertained, not to
mention well educated.
“Mr. Callaghan’s class is really
hard sometimes, but the fact that
it’s fun makes the work a lot less
tedious. Not to mention group
projects are awesome,” said Ally
Malkowski, 10. Although the

students agree, Callaghan is the
teacher that entertains them the
most.
The votes have been tallied and
the students have spoken, the list
of Most Entertaining Teachers is
certainly full of great educators.

Xbox’s Kinect is popular among teens
One of the most popular
Christmas gifts given this past
holiday was the Microsoft
Kinect,
which
came
out on November 4,
2010. Families have
replaced the ever so
popular Nintendo
Wii with this
3 dimensional
m o t i o n
controller
for
Xbox. All critics
and game users
agree: Kinect is
easy to use and
instantly fun!
Kinect has two
eyelike cameras that
capture the movements
of the gamer. The cameras
allow for depth perception,
so Kinect can pick up almost
every form of motion without a
video game controller. This new
found technology lets players
shake their hands, and feet while
watching their character do the
same movements on screen.
To play, one will need six
feet between the player and the
Across the board people say
that the Kinect is just all around
better that the Wii.
“It is just so much more fun
when you can jump around and
not have to worry about holding
the controller” said Peyton
Booth, 9.
Also the Kinect Sports game
is
another fan favorite. It
includes soccer, beach volleyball,
bowling, table tennis, track and
field, and boxing.
“Soccer for the Kinect is the
best video game I have ever
played, it feels like I am
really playing soccer every
time I turn it on,” said
Zack Taylor, 11.
Some
question
whether the Kinect as
a motion game system
will be able to keep
up the hype that it has
acquired over the first
few months it has been
out.
“I think the Xbox
will win out over all and
everyone will go back to Call
of Duty,” said John Halstead, 11.
But right now the Kinect is
definitely the hot topic. It is
all people can talk about and
students have a hard time in
school because they just want to
go home and play their Kinect.

THE BRUIN
Suburban League titles on the line
BY TOM CALHOUN
As midseason approaches for
boy’s and girl’s basketball, both
teams are in the running to win a
league title.
Girls
The girl’s team is 8-2, and they
are sitting on top of the Suburban
League.
As they approach the halfway
mark in their schedule, Coach
Booth spoke about how he would
grade the first half of the season,
“A rising C+, due to our six
returners fighting injuries.”
Christy Cingel tore her PCL
and had a concussion, Sharlee
Bailey and Jessie Gearhart tore
their menisci, Kara Long sprained
her ankle, Robyn Rotterschmidt
has tendonitis in her knee, Taylor
Woods had a cut below her knee
cap that would not heal correctly,
and Sabrina Parsons also suffered
two concussions. Finally, after
recovery time, the team is
dominating once more.
Taylor Woods is averaging 11

Prescott, 12, goes up for a dunk against the Cloverleaf Colts. He is leading the Grizzlies in PPG this season.
10 PPG, Jessie Gearheart is
averaging 8 PPG, and four other
players are averaging between
5.6-6.6 PPG. Coach Booth has
also pointed out that the first year
varsity players have adjusted
really well to the speed and pace
of the game.
The two losses they acquired
came from Twinsburg, 61-41,
and Hudson, 51-46. Some would
argue that Twinsburg is the top
girl’s basketball team in the state
with one of the best players,
Malina Howard, who stands at 6
foot 4 inches.
Two games are all that the
Grizzlies have left at home. One
of them is against Green which
the outcome could determine the
winner of the Suburban League.
Their next game is against two
time defending DII state champs,
Hathway Brown, and is one
of tougheset teams left on the
schedule.
The Grizzlies also have a
tough district in the playoffs
with almost every team having
no more than two losses, so a
good seed in the bracket is vital.
The Lady Grizzlies look to finish
off the season strong and make a
good postseason run.
Boys
The Boy’s team has a overall
record of 5-3 and 2-2 in the
Suburban League. They are
currently tied for second place in
the Suburban League.
Prescott Williams leads the
team with 19.9 PPG, and Josh
Kipfer is averaging 14 PPG and
9 rebounds per game. Tyler Perry
and Brett Baughman have both
improved and shown consistency
throughout the first half of the
season. Perry has stepped up to
fill the void left by Jack Snowball,
who is recovering from multiple
collarbone
surgeries.
Brett
Baughman has also stepped in
and is a valuable player coming
off the bench with size and
strength.
The Boys have had a difficult
schedule. The Grizzlies played
the number one team in the state,
Jackson, on January 11. They also
played Revere, who has not lost a
league game in two years.
The Medina Bees also are a
challanging team Wadsworth
will face. They are led by
Kenny Kaminski, a 6 foot 9 inch
Michigan State recruit.
Orrville, the 2010 DII state
runner up is going to be good
competition for the Grizzlies as
well.
Finally, they finish with
toughest four Suburban League
games which include Green,
Barberton, Copley, and Revere
before entering Sectional play.
If the Boys put together a streak
of good games they could be a
threat to make a postseason run.

Most coveted college award brings curse
SPORTS OPINION
BY BRETT AMADON
Winning the Heisman Trophy is
one of the most illustrious awards
in sports, but as history proves,
it turns out to be the pinnacle of
most careers which falter shortly
thereafter.
While the fame and glory which
comes with this coveted award is
nice, winners need to be aware
of its two curses: failing to win
the BCS national championship
and having a short career in the
NFL.
Let’s start with the BCS
National Championship.
Being crowned national champs
is a hard feat to accomplish,
especially when the opponent
is dialed in on eliminating one
shining star.
Here are the facts, the
Heisman Trophy is an individual
award; a national title is a team
accomplishment. One cannot
expect one player to carry a team
all year long. All players, no
matter how much hype or skill,
are prone to letdowns.
“Heisman winners do not
win titles, teams do,” said Jay
Carpinello, 12.
Also,
there
are
five
excruciatingly long weeks that
occur between the final games
of the regular season and the title
game itself. Within those weeks,
teams prepare, and study film,
both of which levels the playing
field.
All in all, Heisman winners are
a not so stellar 3-6 in title bouts.
However, with Mark Ingram,
Alabama, and Cam Newton,
Auburn, winning the last two
years, the curse may be fading.
In the past twenty years, college
football has seen some of the
greatest players to ever step foot
on the gridiron. However, when
these greats take the next step to
the NFL, hard times await.
Eric Crouch, Jason White, and
Chris Weinke are just some of
the quarterbacks to flounder once
they hit the big time.
“I cannot even name half of the
players who have won the award
within the last decade. They leave
no impression after college,” said
Matt Horner, 11.
However, when you really
look at the numbers, they are the
majority. What I mean by that is
in fact, since 1989, most of the
winners of the acclaimed award
do not last long in the NFL.
The differences between the
NFL and college football are
extreme. Everything from the
quality of the opponents to the
individuals themselves creates an
atmosphere where only the best
can survive.
“I believe they fail because
in the NFL, you almost need an
entire new skill set to compete,”
said Zach Richards, 12.
Most Heisman winners fail
to stand among the consistency
which is displayed in the NFL.
They simply come in with such
great hype, wallets fat, and
egos expanding farther than the
universe.
There are a couple of reasons
as to why these savvy young stars
cannot compete at the next level.
First, everyone must remember
that college is just that--college.
Teams do not play top caliber

2011 National Championship over Oregon 22-19.
opponents week in and week out.
In fact, lesser opponents are a
more common appearance on the
schedule.
Second, players can get away
with miscues more easily. Since
the players are not always up to
par, a quarterback can throw into
double coverage without coming
back to the sidelines with a pick
on his stat sheet.
Finally, there is not the daily
grind that there is in the NFL.
The schedule is not as grueling
with fewer games, and because
the players do not get beat up as
frequently, they are able to play
with more energy each game
without wearing down.
Clearly, the odds are stacked
against these glorified athletes.
“Just because the Heisman is a
prolific award, it does not mean it
seals one’s fate in the NFL,” said
Bilal Hoblos, 11.
In the end, no matter how
much we scrutinize these young
athletes, we cannot lose sight of
the fact that the Heisman Trophy
goes to the best college athlete.
In order to win a title, a team is
necessary. It is also not an award
for who will perform the best in
the NFL.
Ultimately,
whether
we
remember these players or not,
just be glad that you got to witness

Athletes and officials drop the ball in 2010
SPORTS OPINION
BY Matthew Doyle
The year 2010 was filled with many
heart-warming moments that will stick
in the minds of fans for the rest of their
lives.
For instance, the New Orleans
Saints brought their first championship
to the city that was once devastated
by Hurricane Katrina. However,
inspiring stories like that were
unable to overshine the top ten most
controversial and saddening moments
that occurred in 2010.
10. Sidney Crosby
During the last Winter Olympics,
the United States hockey team
experienced great success that took
them to the Gold Medal Game and
found themselves playing North
American rival Canada. The game
was tied heading into sudden death
overtime when Canadian star, Sidney
Crosby, hit the game winning shot to
spoil the dreams of the United States.
9. Mark McGwire
McGwire, the one-time holder of
the home run record, came out in 2010
and admitted to using performance
enhancing drugs. McGwire is famous
for his 1998 home run chase with
Sammy Sosa where McGwire ended
up with 70 home runs and had that
record for three years. Barry Bonds,
who is also suspected of using steroids,
broke the home run record in 2001 and
still has the record today.
8. Duke University
By
The
Numbers
The Duke Blue Devils have been
an enemy to all college basketball fans
since their inception. In March 2010,
Butler University, led by Gordon
Hayward, captured the attention of all
college basketball fans by making it
to the National Championship against
Duke. Unfortunately, fans were
disappointed as once again, Duke
prevailed and brought home another
championship to Durham, North
Carolina.
7. Brett Favre
When fans think of Brett Favre, they
think of a gray-haired man running
around playing football in his Wrangler
jeans. However, when Favre decided to
send pictures to Jenn Sterger, a former
New York Jets employee, he seemed
to forget to put on his Wrangler’s.
Favre’s legacy will not be diminished
because of the inappropriate pictures
never being proven true, but his career
has officially come to an end after a
horrific season in 2010.
6. NCAA
The recent suspensions of the
Ohio State Buckeyes’ football players
has caused many to believe that the
leaders of the NCAA play favorites.
Heisman Trophy winner Cam Newton
reportedly stole laptops and cheated
while at the University of Florida.
However, he was not suspended.
The Ohio State football players
were suspended for five games in the
2011 season for selling memorabilia
for free tattoos.

Vick. He was involved in dogfighting.
The recent success that Vick has had
with the Philadelphia Eagles has led
people to either forget about the past
dogfighting experiences or hate him
more. Dogfighting will be a part of

matter how hard he tries, he will never

Popular sports figures offer fictional New Year’s resolutions
SPORTS OPINION
BY GARRETT CUTTING
Every January, millions of
people decide they need to change
part of their life in some way; that
could be just saying they do not
want to make the same mistake
again or they want to alter an
aspect of their personality.
These are known as New Year’s
Resolutions.
Almost everyone has done it,
but few keep with their resolution
and accomplish what they set
out to do. A few athletes have
sent me some of their fictional
resolutions, so I have decided to
share them with the students and
staff of Wadsworth High School.
Ben Roethlisberger - “I will
not be charged with another
sexual assault this year.” They
say people learn from their
mistakes, but Roethlisberger,
a member of the Pittsburgh
Steelers, did not.
In
2009
and
2010,
Roethlisberger had to deal with
two separate sexual assault
charges that caused him to be
suspended for four games of the
2010 NFL season. In his best
interest, but not in the interests
of Cleveland Browns fans, he
has vowed to not be charged with
another sexual assault this year.
Jim Joyce - “I will not cost
another pitcher a Perfect
Game because I blew a call.”
Pitcher Armando Galarraga of the
Detroit Tigers came one out away
from throwing the 21st perfect
game in Major League Baseball
history last season. Jim Joyce, the

first base umpire, blew a call on
Galarraga’s second to last batter,
and now that is the only thing he
is remembered for.
“Joyce better not miss another
important call or the MLB will
not let him umpire anymore, so
it is good he made a New Year’s
Resolution about it,” said Andrew
Whitman, 12.
Brett Favre - “I will not
send any more inappropriate
pictures.” Even though the NFL
said that there was not enough
information to conclude Favre
violated the personal conduct
policy, it is thought by many that
he sent Jenn Sterger, a sideline
reporter for the New York Jets
when Favre was on the team,
inappropriate pictures of his 41
year old body.
“Favre should have gotten
more than just a $50,000 fine
for failure to cooperate with the
investigation because I think he
sent the messages and voice mails
which were very inappropriate,”
said Libby Coleman, 10.
Terrelle Pryor and the rest of
the suspended Buckeyes - “I will
not sell any other memorabilia.”
Five members of The Ohio State
Buckeyes football team will
be suspended five games in the
2011 season for selling sports
memorabilia in return for tattoos.
Thank goodness they said they
would not do it again because
fans would hate to see them be on
the sidelines playing tick-tack-toe
and I Spy.
It is refreshing to see these
sports figures admit their past
mistakes and try to learn from
their intriguing 2010. I hope to see
more athletes make resolutions in
the future and stick with them.
