Just give new experiences a chance Living in South Dakota, country music is a way of life for many. Personally, I have never been a huge fan of the genre. Songs about corn, fishing and hunting are not my forte. Last night I had the opportunity to attend the first annual “Jacks Bash-Up” at South Dakota State University in Brookings. The event Hear me. . . kicked-off the opening of their new Dana J. Dykhouse Taylor Anderson S t a d i u m . Performers of the night included Lee Brice, Little Big Town and Luke Bryan. By the end of the night, Luke Bryan had me sold on country music. I am not sure if it was the way he swiveled

his hips or his angelic voice and appearance, but I found myself singing along and actually enjoying the music. The whole ride home Kickin’ 100.5 was blasting through my speakers in hopes that Luke’s voice would grace my presence once again and I could relive the night. Although I won’t be riding any big green tractors anytime soon, I am now more open to this South Dakota lifestyle. What is the moral of this story? For me, it is that I need to be open to new things. What’s next? Who knows. It might be a new food from a foreign land. It might be a new TV show or movie that I might have not considered before. It might by taking a class that I never thought I’d like—all in an effort to enrich my life. Hopefully, this can also spread to areas of my life including my friends. There are a 1,000 people I have never talked to at WHS, and each could be a new friend. Senior Taylor Anderson is open to new experiences.

U.S. to outlaw antibacterial soaps soon By Gary Robbins The San Diego Union-Tribune (TNS) Antibacterial soaps will not remain on U.S. grocery store shelves for much longer. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, has just approved a new measure that will ban 19 ingredients in soaps. The ban will go into effect in one year. All of the banned substances had been promoted as germ killers.

Science Friday The term “antibacterial” suggests that such soaps can halt the spread of germs. In fact, “we have no scientific evidence that they are any better than plain soap and water,” says Janet Woodcock. She directs FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research. It’s in Silver Spring, Md. Three years ago, FDA asked soap makers to submit data on the safety and efficacy of such products. But they could not prove that these chemicals made their products better than regular soap at getting rid of germs. Worse, some data suggest these germ killers “may do more harm than good over the longterm,” Woodcock adds. Why? In the Federal Register document outlining the new ban, FDA described this issue. Antiseptic chemicals do kill germs. But low levels of these chemicals are not very effective. Any germ that isn’t killed may even evolve a resistance to these chemicals — especially when exposed to dilute amounts. And when these chemicals wash down a sink’s drain and into the environment, they will be diluted. Once a microbe develops genes to resist the “germ killer,” it can share those genes with other germs. Eventually, a great many germs may become resistant to these chemicals.
