Don’t leave valuables in car
By Jack Schelhaas, Carson Herbert, Josh Thomas, Chase O’Connor and Patrick Saaleephiw Be on the lookout Warriors, break-ins have been reported in the WHS parking lot. Over break there were three reported, and possibly more, break-ins of cars in the area, two of which were in the parking lot.
Windows were knocked out on the cars and the items were then stolen, usually a purse or other item of worth left out in the open. It appears that the thief looks into the windows of cars or trucks to see if anything is easily accessible, and if so, breaks-in and steals the items. Most break-ins were at later hours in the day, so students or
coaches at practice in the evening should be extra cautious. School Resource Officer Marty Cahoy said students and staff should stay smart, and be patient. “If you keep valuables in your car, make sure you lock them in the trunk,” Cahoy said. “We are working on finding who did this, but it will take some time.”
Please share—leave on lunch tables until 5B

Get to bed early to get back in swing I know the first day back after the holiday break can be tough—in fact I believe the first day back to school after winter break is one of the most difficult days of the year. My sleeping schedule, as I am sure many of yours are, is extremely out of whack. My Hear me. . . body is now used to going to bed around two in the morning and Hannah Johnson waking up in the late afternoon, which made for a very interesting morning today. Also, to make matters even worse, we still have semester tests to look forward to in about three weeks. But don’t worry—I’m here to bring you a few hints to

make your next few mornings a little more manageable. First, resist hitting the snooze button. Those extra five minutes of sleep may feel great in the moment, but provide no real benefit and tend to make you feel even more groggy. Next, eat a satisfying breakfast. Whole grains and protein will give you that boost of sustained energy that you need—and don’t forget the coffee! When lunch time approaches, try to stick with healthy choices. You will naturally feel groggy around midday, so combat this feeling by choosing something relatively light (and maybe another cup of coffee). My last tip is probably the most obvious—go to bed early. And most importantly, remember—each day that passes means we are that much closer to summer! Senior Hannah Johnson is ready for spring break!
Some Clinton emails still not turned over By Anita Kumar McClatchy Washington Bureau (TNS) WASHINGTON — Despite the high-profile release of Hillary Clinton’s emails each month, voters are unlikely to get a chance to read all of her correspondence. That’s because Clinton failed to hand over all her work emails, despite being asked to do so repeatedly, and the State Department is not searching for them elsewhere. The Democratic front-runner for president said she is unable to access emails she sent or received in her first two months as secretary of state in 2009 because they were not yet being captured on her private computer server. The Defense Department in the fall gave the State Department a chain of emails between Clinton and former Army Gen. David Petraeus, who at the time headed the military’s U.S. Central Command, responsible for running the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Clinton had not turned those emails over. But other federal agencies have not been asked to search their archives for Clinton emails, according to a McClatchy survey of more than a dozen agencies with which Clinton was most likely to interact. Some, including the Energy Department and the Defense Intelligence Agency, said they had not received requests. Others, including the Interior and Justice departments, declined to speak on the record and referred questions to the State Department. It’s unclear how the Defense Department determined it had the Clinton emails and why it turned them over. Defense and State officials declined to comment. Clinton has been under fire for months for exclusively using personal email routed through a private server while serving as the nation’s top diplomat.
