Junior Brody Etrheim finished seventh at 195 pounds and senior Alex Lorenzini paced the team with fourth in the heavyweight division. Coach Lance Peters said it was a good experience for the team. “The tournament was a competitive outing for us last week and we were able to get some guys on the podium,” Peters said. “We competed well at some weights and others we looked pretty flat and not ready to go.” The team next competes tonight in a dual at O’Gorman High School at 5:30 p.m. Senior Thomas Vissers said he is ready. “We hope to come out with a win tonight,” Vissers said. “We haven’t lost to them in years,

sport,” Saaleephiw said. “You compete for yourself, but also for your team. You have to get up and stick every routine. This sport has made my team and I stronger, ever though we’ve hit our lowest points before we get back up and pretend it never happened.” Sophomore Katie McKee also scored her first 8.05 for sixth on the uneven bars. “We had some highs and lows,” coach Ellen Engebretson said. “Our fourth place finish was the best finish we have had

Use common courtesy to stay healthy this winter
JBL to bring sound to inauguration
It’s that time of the year again when it cools off and some are starting to become inconsiderate of their personal health. No matter how much we prepare for it, somehow the flu season always seems to find its way into our lives. At WHS, the spread of the illness is most commonly shown by absences of many students each day and the countless number of Kleenex boxes used by each classroom. Unfortunately not all 1,831 of us got our flu shots of are immune to the flu, so it is Hear me. . . important to be aware of ways to treat and prevent the virus from Carson Herbert spreading. My first suggestion is to follow basic sanitation rules. This includes washing your hands often and covering a cough in public. It’s easy for us to be lazy with these examples, but we need to be mindful of those around us. Next, take care of your body. Unhealthy eating and staying up all night won’t help you get better. It could perhaps make you feel even worse! From previous flu experiences, I would suggest consuming lots of fluid and fruit rich in Vitamin C, as well as getting a good night’s rest. It is also a good idea to stay home from school to recover and rest up to prevent the virus from spreading. Teachers are usually easy to work with when it comes to missing school due to illness. It is also not too late to get the flu shot, if you haven’t already done so, and repeat each year. I currently have no plans to become a doctor someday, but I hope this can help you stay healthy this winter! Senior Carson Herbert is not encouraging students to fake a sick day like Ferris Bueller.
By Ronald D. White Los Angeles Times (TNS) LOS ANGELES — At least one participant at the upcoming presidential inauguration will care more about how clearly the speeches will be heard than about anything said that day.

Technology Watch JBL speakers will be used to swear in Donald Trump, just as they were at President Barack Obama’s two inaugurations. JBL makes more than 3,000 other products that have been throwing sound at many of the world’s biggest musical, athletic, social and political events since 1946. “Our loudspeakers are very nonpartisan,” quipped Mark R. Gander, JBL’s director of technology. “We were at both the Republican and Democratic national conventions, too. If someone can’t hear, or it’s garbled, then we haven’t done our job.” For 70 years, JBL named for founding engineer James B. Lansing - has survived ownership changes, recessions and vast shifts in personal technology. It’s won a Grammy, an Oscar and enough other awards, including dozens for technological achievement, to fill a long hallway at its 237,000-square-foot Los Angeles headquarters. In November, Samsung Electronics agreed to pay $8 billion for Harman International Industries Inc., JBL’s Connecticut-based parent company, to turbocharge its growth in the business of connecting things to the internet, particularly cars. The South Korean company has said that Harman’s management and its companies, including JBL, will remain largely as they are, and Harman will be operated as a standalone subsidiary.
