Everyone has the
¨stereotypical¨ fear of
clowns and for some
Americans now these
fears have become
reality. There have
been reports all over
America of “sinister”
clowns that have
made appearances in
woods, fields and
even in people’s
backyards. Claims
have been made of
theses clowns earlier
this year, not causing
much of a scare, but
now the sightings
have reached social
media and have
caused panic in sever-
al counties nation-
wide. The sightings
of the sinister clowns
claimed that they saw
them standing off the
side of the road in a
rural area. Some of
the sightings claim
that clowns have
baseball bats, chains
and even knifes.
There have been re-
ports in and around
Cleveland in the past
month of clowns
chasing residents by a
man dressed in black
wearing a clown mask
and was armed with a
knife. There has been
some reports in
Wayne County but
there was no actual
evidence of threaten-
ing clowns. The real
question posed about
the clowns is if they
are just a hoax to
scare their community
members or actual
threat to people's safe-
ty. There are claims
of clowns in the
Wayne County area
but there has been no
evidence of any
clowns roaming the
streets of our commu-
nity. “I’ve never been
afraid of clowns until
I saw the creepy pic-
tures on Twitter. This
has ruined the happi-
ness and fun of
clowns.” says a senior
at Northwestern, Car-
ley Kandel. The
whole clown fright
has parents, teens and
anyone who finds the
disturbing clowns
frightening afraid to
even leave their
house. As Halloween
is approaching the
fear of clowns roam-
ing around neighbor-
hoods has increased
the risks of parents
sending their children
out to trick-or-treat.

2016 Homecoming
The fall musical for
the 2016-2017 school
year is Annie! This
musical is set in the
1930’s and follows
the life of young and
fiery Annie (played
by Anna Martin, So.)
living in a orphanage
runner by Miss Han-
nigan (played by
Kennedy Hoffer, Jr.).
Annie’s horrific situ-
ation quickly turns
around when she is
selected to spend a
short time at the resi-
dence of a wealthy
man, Oliver War-
buck (played by Dyl-
an Stoltz, Sr.).
The musical de-
buts November 18th,
19th and 20th in
2016. The members
of the club are really
excited to present
this musical, as it has
taken a lot of time
and effort to put on
this production! Dyl-
an Stoltz (Oliver
Warbuck) says that,
“Mrs. Crabtree is
taking on a auda-
cious endeavor with
an original Broadway
script this year,
which we all look
forward to being able
to test our acting and
singing skills, and we
all can’t wait for this
production to de-
but!”. And although,
what goes on the
stage is quite im-
portant, what is be-
hind the scenes is
what really makes
the production possi-
ble. Everyone, in-
cluding cast and
crew, is ready to pre-
sent one of their most
favorite musicals this
November!
Broadway or Northwestern High?

On September
21st, the Northwest-
ern FFA traveled to
Triway for the county
soil judging con-
test. Reiley Murphy,
Joey Shaw, David
Agnes, Cody Mor-
row, Luke Chaffee,
Bethanie Schaefer,
Lindsay Ciolek, Bri-
ana Faltisco, Emily
Cromer, Beth Kan-
zeg, Jacey Fulton,
McKayla Linscott,
Lexi Switzer, Carter
Melicant, Cole Mar-
ley, Tate Hixson, An-
drew LeMaster, Aus-
ten Wood, Michael
Nutter, Katie Stull
and Jazon LeMaster
participated in the
Urban Soils Career
Development Event.
Urban soil judging
requires contest
members to calculate
the slope of the soil,
determine soil tex-
ture, and ultimately
determine how fit the
soil is to build a
building on, support a
septic tank, imple-
ment a road or drive-
way, and support
landscaping. The
team placed 1st over-
all, with Stull, Eber-
ly, Wood, Rempher,
and Franks placing in
the top five individu-
al scores for the
chapter.
The Rural Career De-
velopment Event par-
ticipants were Kyle
Piscione, Cody Mor-
row, David Miley,
Brittany Slanczka,
Cody Tegtmeier,
Brock Tegtmeier,
Robert Stinemetz,
and McKayla Lin-
scott. Rural soil judg-
ing tests members’
abilities to calculate
slope, depth of top-
soil, drainage capa-
bilities, and texture of
the soil for rural utili-
zation. They deter-
mine the overall land
capabilities as well as
indicate the recom-
mended best manage-
ment practices for the
plot of land. The
Northwestern Chap-
ter had a good show-
ing, taking 1st as a
team. Individually,
Kyle Piscione earned
1st, David Miley
earned 2nd, McKayla
Linscott was 4th and
Brock Tegtmeier was
5th for the chapter.

Save the date
for November
8,2016, the day our
government takes a
huge step into histo-
ry. As students of
Northwestern High
school we are very
lucky to witness one
of the biggest elec-
tions in United States
history. Even though
most of us are ineligi-
ble to vote besides
maybe the seniors,
we still need to pay
attention to our gov-
ernment's decisions.
So when we inherit
the duties of our
country's future we
can learn from our
government's past
failures and success-
es. For our republican
nominee we have
Donald J. Trump. He
is a very successful
businessman and is
the C.E.O of The
Trump Organization.
The democratic nom-
inee is Hillary Clin-
ton, which is the first
lady of our former
42nd president of the
United States, Bill
Clinton. Also Hilary
served as the 67th
Secretary of State.
The basis behind Hil-
lary's campaign is
that she promises to
fight for equal pay,
she will raise mini-
mum wage, and will
not raise middle class
taxes. While Trump's
campaign thinks the
government must cut
spending, deport all
undocumented indi-
viduals, and to repeal
and replace Obama
Care. To get a better
understanding on the
election we have ask
some teachers and
students of North-
western High School,
what their thoughts
were on this year's
election. A freshman,
Allie Kandel told us,
“If I were 18 or older
I would not vote in
this election”, a soph-
omore, Cole Marley
commented,“ Trump
2K16!!”. Now to the
teacher's point of
view, when we asked
Mr. Martin what his
thoughts were, he
stated “ I’m pretty
depressed about this
year's election”.
Mr.Thut’s thoughts
were, “The top two
candidates make it
the most difficult
presidential election
in my 30 years of be-
ing able to vote”. It's
safe to say most peo-
ple are dreading this
election and are
scared to see who
takes office. So after
reading your peers
thoughts on the elec-
tion, the question is
who do you want in
office.

Recently
NFL quarterback
Colin Kaepernick
has been kneeling or
sitting for the Na-
tional Anthem,
claiming “He will
not stand up to show
pride for a flag that
oppresses black peo-
ple and other people
of color,” (Wyche).
However we firmly
believe that Kaeper-
nick doesn't realize
the extent of disre-
spect his protest
shows. Sure our
country has issues
with police brutality
in some cases, but
that does not mean
every police shoot-
ing is due to racism
and evil police offic-
ers. And most im-
portantly, Kaeper-
nick is disrespecting
the soldiers that died
protecting our coun-
try every day. Yes,
Collin’s protest has
the media’s atten-
tion, but is it really
making a difference
for the better good?
It’s wonder-
ful that an NFL play-
er is standing up for
something he firmly
believes in and is
willing to take on all
of the oppression
that comes with it.
However it’s like the
“ALS Ice Bucket
Challenge” all over
again., as explained
by Master Sgt.
Cedric King while
talking with ESPN
staff writer David
Newton. Kaepernick
is raising awareness
for a good cause but
is doing nothing else
to make a difference
for that cause. In the
“Ice Bucket Chal-
lenge” people every-
where where dump-
ing cold buckets of
water over their head
claiming they were
trying to help raise
awareness for ALS
to help find a cure.
But out of all those
people, how many
do you think actually
contributed money
or other means of
assistance to help
with that deadly dis-
ease? The majority
of the “Ice Bucket
Challengers” just got
wet and what started
as a good idea turned
into a social publici-
ty stunt. We feel that
Kaepernick’s protest
started out as a good
idea to make a dif-
ference but it
stopped there and
turned more into a
social act. Just kneel-
ing for the National
Anthem will not fix
anything, it just in-
furiates the patriot in
all of us because
everyone has their
own version of what
the stars and stripes
stand for.
Overall
Kaepernick’s protest
is spreading like
wildfire but only in
the fact that players
everywhere are
kneeling for the Na-
tional Anthem. Just
like the “Ice Bucket
Challenge” people
are outwardly
spreading awareness
but the movement
stops there. What
they should be doing
instead is respecting
the flag that our
troops died to protest
by standing for the
anthem for those
who cant, and then if
the players feel so
passionately about
racial injustice, they
should devote their
time and money to
helping the cause.

“Can’t Stand” Kaepernick
A Memorable Election
-
By: Jordan Gilbert
and Abby Ford
Smoking in
the U.S is not al-
lowed in public plac-
es such as stores, res-
taurants, and so on. It
also controls every
aspect of your life
which includes your
time, your health and
even how you spend
your money the list
goes on and on.
Smoking is linked to
many diseases such
as lung cancer which
can lead to breathing
problems and even
death. Thankfully,
Nicotine smoking has
gone down among
teens in the U.S, but
vape and/or e-
cigarettes are at an all
time high. Upon fur-
ther research, certain
brands of vapor liq-
uids may contain
Nicotine, which is
also found in a regu-
lar cigarette. They
also can cause the
same problems as
cigarettes but less
severe. Unlike vapor,
Cigarettes sometimes
contain tar which is
toxic but won’t in-
stantly kill you. Upon
burning a cigarette,
you are releasing
over 4,000 toxic
chemicals into your
body that are slowly
shutting down your
respiratory system.
Smoking Cigarettes
can cause Coronary
heart disease, stroke,
and even cause blood
circulation problems.
Smoking slows
breathing which re-
duces blood flow to
the limbs. This can
lead to blood clots
developing in your
veins and even in
your brain, and if the
blood clots burst it
may cause a stroke or
even death.
Second-hand
smoking is just as
bad as smoking a cig-
arette directly, the
smoke that you are
breathing in contains
many carcinogens
which can cause
health problems
worse than smoking
yourself. The reason
why second-hand
smoke is even worse
than first-hand smok-
ing is because the
chemicals you are
breathing in are not
being filtered through
the tip on the end of
cigarette. Second-
hand smoking can be
linked to COPD, em-
physema, and chron-
ic bronchitis. Smok-
ing can cause cancer
in almost any part of
your body. Examples
include: Bladder,
Blood (acute myeloid
leukemia), Cervix,
Colon and rectum
(colorectal), Esopha-
gus, Kidney and ure-
ter, Larynx, Liver,
Oropharynx
(includes parts of the
throat, tongue, soft
palate, and the ton-
sils), Pancreas, Stom-
ach, Trachea, Bron-
chus, and Lung can-
cers (Centers for Dis-
ease Control and
Prevention (CDC)).
Although
smoking e-cigarettes
and even vaping can
cause the same prob-
lems as regular ciga-
rettes, most teens use
them only for enter-
tainment and tricks.
Most teens and even
adults think they are
healthier for you than
regular cigarettes but
little do they know
they are just as bad.
They don’t even real-
ize what they are do-
ing to their body, just
because they want to
look cool or “fit in”
with the crowd. In
these e-cigarettes and
vapes, there are dan-
gerous chemicals that
are sometimes even
worse than smoking
a regular cigarette.
Most companies that
make vaping fluid,
tell you that there is
no diacetyl in their
liquids, but most lie
about that statement.
Harvard University
did a research project
about the effects of e-
cigarettes and how
most companies still
use the diacetyl
chemical in their
vaping liquids. They
found that 39 out of
51 samples tested for
the diacetyl chemi-
cal, came back posi-
tive (Raquel
Rutledge of the Jour-
nal Sentinel). That’s
a crazy amount of
companies that are
lying about their
products and that’s
why they shouldn’t
be trusted.
Any form of smoking
is bad for you wheth-
er it is smoking regu-
lar cigarettes, cigars
or even vaping.
There are still harm-
ful effects to both no
matter which you
chose to do. The best
advice is to just never
smoke, and just say
no. If you do smoke,
then all you can do to
save yourself from
even more harmful
effects is to stop or
work your way into
the process of quit-
ting. If you smoke
you're shortening
your lifespan by 14
years (CDC). Is this
really how you want
to live your life?
Smoking and Vaping Among
Teens

October 11,
2016 will forever be
a memorable date for
senior Carley Kan-
del. Kandel scored
her 100th career
goal against Triway
on Northwestern’s
senior night. As the
ball hit the back of
the net for the 100th
time in her career,
she also made histo-
ry. This was the first
time that any athlete
in the state of Ohio
had score 100 goals
in soccer and 1,000
points in basketball.
Carley Kandel will
leave her mark not
only at Northwestern
but on the state of
Ohio’s record board.
Carley Kandel was
also named Tri-
County's leading all
time sorcerer with
104 goals. She is not
only an all star ath-
lete but is also a su-
per star in the class-
room. Carley is cur-
rently taking classes
at Ashland Universi-
ty and is involved in
several extra curricu-
lar activities. Carley
Kandel will leave a
lasting footprint on
Northwestern for
years to come. “I'm
honored to have all
of these records, but
records are meant to
be broken. I cant
wait to see the future
of Northwestern ath-
letes and the growth
of the game.” said
Carley Kandel.
