try to stay healthy. If feverish, achy all over, have fatigue,
runny nose, sore throat, and coughing, don’t pass it off. Get

This year, one of the biggest phenomenon in
America, is “Going Green.” Mr. Marty Vines,
Environmental Club sponsor, said, “Students should
take going green more seriously; it isn't a fad. The
more people involved, the more positive impact will
be made.” Even Cape Central has adapted to the
“Green” lifestyle. From having recycling bins and
having a new club, the Environmental Club, Cape
Central’s staff and students are helping save the
Earth. Cape Central’s Environmental Club Participated in the National Walk to School Day. Senior Julie Langenfeld, president of the Environmental Club,
said, “Twelve students and teachers participated in
the Walk to School Day, which was a good turnout.”
Some symptoms that both share:
•
•
•
•
•
burning sensation while urinating.
discharge
sore throat
fever
Both STDs are curable. If you
have symptoms, it’s very important
to get it checked out.
10 Ways Students can “Go Green”
1. Recycle! Separate aluminum cans,
paper, plastic etc!
2. Turn off the lights when they aren’t in use.
3. Recycle this paper when you are done
with it!
4. Don’t run the water when brushing teeth
5. Use refillable water bottles instead of
disposable
6. Take shorter showers
7. Carpool to school and other places
8. Use cloth towels instead of paper towels
9. Set your thermostat 2 degrees lower in
winter, and 2 degrees higher in summer.
10. Use fluorescent energy efficient lightbulbs instead of incandescent
Ways Cape Central is “Green”
1. Recycling Bins for paper and plastic
“Everyone can make a difference.” 2. Environmental Club

3. Walk to School Day (Environmental Club)
“You can’t do everything to go green, 4. Bike to school days (Orchestra sponsored)
5. Controlled heating and air conditioning

of focus has been on the
H1N1 flu, but the question is... ‘Is that
the greatest threat?’ Could the greatest threat possibly be the common flu?
According to the Cape County Health
Department, more symptoms of the
common flu have been seen. So far in
this county alone, we’ve had a bad beginning.
An estimated 65-70 cases of Influenza A have been confirmed, and that
changes daily said Vanessa Landers,
a nurse at the County Health Dept.
Landers agrees that it’s wise to get the
vaccination. Already an estimation of
1,500-2,000 flu vaccinations have been
given at the Health Dept.
Landers stated that ways to catch the
flu are being around someone with it
and not being cautious in public places.
A few ways to prevent the flu: washing
hands frequently; coughing and sneez-

It’s
a commonly asked question,
although a lot of people can’t comprehend. Jerkin’ is a new dance craze
that is becoming more popular everyday. According to the “New Boyz Say
They’re More Than Just Jerkin Rappers” article on MTV.com,”Jerkin’
came from L.A.,” Ben J (of the New
Boyz) explained. “It’s an inner-city
dance; the teenagers brought it back.
They used to breakdance the Roger
Rabbit, but we swagged it out. We got
involved in it because we (saw) it and
we liked it.” “(I like jerkin’) ‘cause it’s
a cool dance and everybody wanna
learn how to do it” commented Deontae Jenkins, sophomore.
There are so many dances involved
with jerkin’ but the three main
dances when jerkin’ are the reject
(steps located below), dippin’, and
droppin’. (My favorite move is) the
pindrop,”said Jermaine Pointdexter, junior. “When you look at these
dances they seem easy, but once you
give them a try, you’ll change your

mind” Haley Williams, sophomore,
said.
Log onto YouTube and type “jerkin” in the search box: hundreds of
videos will come up. There are many
jerkin’ teams and independent jerks
who post their videos on YouTube.
The PowerRanger$, Diamond Set,
and Action Figures are among the
most popular. Tevin Roper, sophomore, said, “I love to jerk. I have a
squad.”
Teens who jerk often refer to them-

Ellen Garrett stated, “We went to
London, Paris, Florence, Rome,
Pompeii, and Capri.” Matt Griffith
added, “ We also went to Sorrento.”
The journey to get to all those exotic places was long and drawn-out.
Griffith said that he had to apply for
his passport a few months in advance
so that he would have in time for the
trip. Sophomores and juniors who
have plans of going this upcoming
summer should probably apply soon
for their passports.
Travelers on the trip each had his
or her favorite place. Griffith stated,
“My favorite place was Sorrento.”
Garrett explained, “I loved Capri.
We were able to ride around the island in a little boat. The water was
so blue and pretty. The islands had
pretty gardens with a lot of beautiful
flowers.”
Traveling without parents can be

course. Tay Richardson, sophomore,
said “(I wear) skinny’s, a fresh pair of
Vans, and always got a clean hat or
something spectacular with my wardrobe.” With the music, fashion, and
new terms, jerkin’ has almost evolved
into a lifestyle.

Students at Jackson High School also have a

Senior Lisa Farrar, Jackson High School, said,
“We always wear our school colors on the day of
the big game to support our school.”
PRANK Stories
Deisher said, “One of my favorite pranks was
from the 06-07 basketball season. The game was
in Jackson. The members of the Jungle “borrowed” the Jackson spirit stick and left with it.
Jackson was furious. The stick was returned, but
those two guys still go down in Jungle history.”
According to Jackson High School Senior
Chris Bonner, “One of the pranks that I know
of was when Jackson saran-wraped the Indian
Statue in Jackson. [to prevent the possibility of
Cape painting it - which did not occur]. Then...
Jackson students tried to steal the tiger statue on
top of the old Cape high school.” It failed.

Teen Violence: A Real Issue
By: Hilary Caldwell
Last week outside of a high school in
Richmond, California a student was gang
raped while others watched, according to
the October 29 article of STLTODAY.
com. Recently, an honor student in Chicago was beaten to death with railroad
ties while other students stood by and
watched. Over the summer a student in
Poplar Bluff was set on fire and severely
burned by another student. A disturbing
trend is sweeping the nation: teen violence.
Why is teen violence becoming such a
problem? What can we do to stop this
growing trend? These are some questions
CHS
Opinions
racing through minds of officials, parents,
teachers, and other teens. “There is no
real definition of teen violence, other than
it’s violent behavior on the part of someone in their teens. The most common
type of violence we deal with is some type
of assault. We also see a few instances of
more serious assaults involving weapons,”
stated Police Chief Carl Kinnison.
The incidents that the police department sees “typically involve suspects in
their late teens or early twenties,” added
Kinnison. However, at CHS the type of
fighting “we’ve seen most recently would
be verbal altercations (arguing, shouting).
Sadie Johnson, junior: When I see teens
fighting I think it’s really sad because
nine times out of ten they were friends
to begin with or don’t even know why
they’re fighting. So I really don’t encourage teen fighting...
Next most likely is shoving and hitting,”
stated Dr. Mike Cowan, principal. He
also explained that students in the lower
grades are more likely to be involved
in the altercations. Cowan added, “We
have had fewer altercations this year.”
The policy regarding violence at CHS
depends on the number of altercations a
student has been involved in. For the first
offense, a student is given five days Out
of School Suspension and three days In
School Suspension. The second offense
increases the sentences to ten days OSS
and five days ISS. If a student continues
to have altercations, then the punishment
increases to what is seen fit by the administration because every case is different.
With fewer altercations this year, the
severity of the punishments may be causing students to move fights to alternate
locations. However, it is important for everyone to recognize that violence is not a
solution to any problem with another individual in any location. Kinnison added
that “... a discussion by parents with their
kids, teachers with their students, and students with their peers, that spreads the
anti-violence message is one thing that
can be done (to reduce violence).” Establishing a peer mediating group would be a
good step toward ending violence at CHS.
Danielle Elston, junior: I really think it’s
goofy, maybe because its pointless and it
only makes you look stupid! Don’t fight
unless you’re defending yourself from a
terrible situation.
Laura Huggins, junior: I think it’s all to
do with drama. We have way too much
drama at school. If people would just “let
it go” and forget about it, you will be surprised how less stressful your day will be.
Maybe then you can actually concentrate
on having a good day and a fun time
instead of worrying about what someone
is saying or defending yourself.
What do you
think of when
you see teens
fighting?
Brittney Cathcart, junior: Teen fighting
is pointless. Fighting doesn’t solve anything and just becomes a show for other
teens to [watch]. It’s usually over silly
matters or someone saying more than
what’s needed to be said.
Chasity Walls, junior: Why fight it out?
One should only fight when it’s selfdefense. So if someone’s [angry] enough
to come to your face and hit you, then,
to me, you have every right to fight back.
Win or lose, it’s self- defense.
What do you
see in
fighting?
Seth Mayes, sophomore: Fighting is
stupid and is usually done by low self
esteem kids.
What causes
people to
fight?
Tynesha Ivy, junior: The human nature
in just wanting to retaliate.

Just Dance
By: India Newbern
Because the dance team lost two
members, they had to find a way to
fill in the blank spots and fix routines. According to Christen Limbaugh, dance team captain, “It’s
always a disappointment when you
lose a member of your team. Even
though it’s sad having lost them,
I’m glad we lost them before the official season started.” Dance Team
member junior Ellen Garrett said,
“The dance team [didn’t] have to
change any routines because we
hadn’t learned many yet, so we
didn’t have formations set up.” Limbaugh feels like her team has already
come together as a family due to
all the practices and the camp that
they went to this summer with their
coach, Merritt Gerlach. The first
dance competitions are always in St.
Charles, and the state competition location varies from St. Louis to Kansas City over the years. Limbaugh
said that the only thing she would
change about the team in the future
would be having the chance to dance
at all the home football games.

Senior Meg Goodman sets the ball for a spike.
By: Hillary Caldwell
The season “spiked” off on August 31, but the CHS Girls’ Volleyball team came together long before
then.
This year the team includes several
returning players and several new
players. The returning players were
Charis Stewart, senior and floor
captain; Meg Goodman, senior
and team captain; seniors Adeline
Yates, Jade Sander, Lindsay Cunningham, Diane Langenfeld, and
Erica Shirrell, team manager. Juniors include Chelsey Brown, Chelsea Pannier, Lexis Nutt, Amy Kinnison, Tori Twidwell, team manager,
and Asia Thomas. Tori Scheller,
sophomore, and Katie Williams,
freshman, also played on the varsity
team.
Team bonding was also emphasized this season. According to senior Lindsay Cunningham, the upper classmen and lower classmen
were paired up. She stated, “We
were given little sisters to give little
gifts to and write notes to, which
made us a lot closer.” Adeline Yates,
senior, added, “The upper classmen
got paired with younger classmen
according to the position we play.”
Another activity that the team used
to bond was hair braiding at tournaments. The team had four major
tournaments this year. The team
played in the Notre Dame Volleyball
Fest, the Perryville Volleyball Invitational, the BA Sports Volleyball Classic, and the Volleyball Quad.
The team also had some intense
match-ups this season. The overall
consensus was that Jackson was their
biggest rival. Jade Sander, senior,
stated that her favorite game this season was when they played Jackson at
the Semo Spike Tournament. She
also added, “I personally liked St.
Genevieve. They have a great libero.
Scott City, too.” (A libero is a back
row player intended for controlling
the ball.) The icing on the cake was
beating Farmington and Sikeston in
the district tournament and earning
the chance to play Jackson. Their
final chance to play Jackson came on
October 28 in the District 1 Class
4A championship at Jackson High
School. The team ended the season
with a 2nd place finish in Districts
and a record of 11-21-2.
The Tigers are splashing their way
to state this year. Four team members
have achieved state qualifying times:
Sam Gramling, senior; Caleb Coots,
junior; Jordan Gramling, sophomore;
and Ramsey Scott, freshman. Coots
has four individual state cuts: the
200 yd. Freestyle, the 200 yd. Individual Medley, the 100 yd. Butterfly,
and the 500 yd. Freestyle. He also has
two relay cuts with the relay teams.
The team has state cuts in the 200
Freestyle relay and the 400 Freestyle
relay. “I personally have two state
cuts, but I also have two state relay
cuts,” said Scott. He qualified in the
200 yd. Freestyle and the 500 yd.
Freestyle. Jordan Gramling qualified
for the state meet in the 100 yd. Freestyle and the 200 yd. Freestyle. Sam
Gramling qualified for the meet in
the 500 yd. Freestyle and the 200 yd.
freestyle.
Three of the swimmers have been
to state in the past. Sam Gramling
has been the past three years, where
he placed at the state meet: 7th in the
500 yd. Freestyle and 200 yd. Freestyle. Gramling said, “The 500 yd.
Freestyle is my best event, but I enjoy
all of my events.”
The rivalries with Jackson and
Notre Dame follow the team even to
the state meet. In regards to rivalries
at the state meet, Jordan Gramling
said, “ For me, it’s Jackson and Rockhurst.” Coots added, “As a team we
always try to place higher than Jackson and Notre Dame, but personally,
I try my hardest against Ryan Gibson because we’ve been racing since
we were seven.” Gramling echoed
Coots’s sentiment towards Notre
Dame and Jackson.
Training also changes in preparation
for the state meet. “I’ll taper down - a
couple of days of really easy training
to build back up muscle before statebut otherwise I won’t do anything
special,” said Coots. Gramling added
that he would be “...swimming twoa-days and lifting in the mornings.”
Currently there are 57 teams in Missouri with state cuts. There are three
local teams going to the meet. Central, Jackson, and Notre Dame are
going to the state meet on November
13 and 14 at the Rec Plex in St. Peters, Missouri.

Cape Central Girls Basketball will have six returning players this
year: five seniors -- Sadie Pittman, Makayla Durham, Farrah Malik,
Meg Goodman, and Crystal Vinson; and one junior, Chelsea Pannier. According to Pittman, “...I enjoy being a part of the Lady Tigers
Basketball Team [because of] the chemistry we have as a team. When
we’re all on the same page when we’re playing, we’re unstoppable, and
the feeling is indescribable. The passion and determination shows up,
and the love for the game takes over.”
There will be tension on the court when the team plays Notre Dame,
Jackson, and Popular Bluff, their fierce rivals. The team would love
everyone’s support at the games. According to junior Chelsea Pannier
“We need to make a statement by winning our first few games. When
we win, people will start showing up.”
The athletes have put the hours in to make this a winning season.
Open gym started the second week of school, and Monday, October
19 for those who had ended fall sports. Pittman said “The drills we do
in practice range from running double suicides and ladders to defensive
sides and offensive plays. When [we] come to practice [we] have to
come in with a mind set to be ready to do anything because [we] never
know.” Tryouts begin November 9. The basketball head coach is Sherri
Shirrell. She is assisted by Coaches Jane Comeau and Darren Heuring.

Drew Church stated. He is gearing up for
tryouts. “I expect quite a few guys to tryout and we will keep the top 15,” Church
explained. Church is not concerned with
a large outcome at tryouts. “We are not
worried about getting more people involved. We want guys who are going to
work hard and help us improve as a basketball program” he says. If interested
