“There are no gains without pains” -Benjamin Franklin

Did you know that Benjamin Franklin was one of the first exercise gurus? Nearly 300 years ago, he recommended that adults get a minimum of 45 minutes of exercise every day. His new book, The Benjamin Franklin Diet explains how he used exercise to increase his own health and longevity. Below is an excerpt from the book.

Everyone has heard the phrase, no pain, no gain. As contemporary as it sounds, it was Ben Franklin who coined these famous words back in the eighteenth century when he wrote, “There are no gains without pains.”

New Football Field November 6, 2015 Ally Richardson Page4

A huge change is about to happen for Allen East, we are most likely getting a synthetic surface on the football field. The reason for this is because the field is having major drainage problems and it is eroding the soil which could possibly harm the football players. Some holes were 3 feet deep in the end zone. We had the chance to interview our Principal, Mr. Baumgartner. We asked him what he thought about the idea of turf. Here is what he said.

Q: Is getting synthetic turf actually going

to happen?

A: It looks like it will but it is not 100%

certain. The School Board and

Superintendent are looking at bid

offers and if the bids come in at what

they want we will do it but the price

cannot be higher than what the board

wants.

Q: When do you think they will start

working on the field?

A: If the bids go as correct they will start

working on it by mid or at the end of

May. They will only need 2 ½ to 3

months to get it all installed.

Q: Will we ever have to replace the turf

field?

A: Yes we will have to replace the field

every 10-12 years.

Q: Do you want this major change to

happen?

A: Yes, because I think it is a positive for

the students because all sports can

play on it, like if it is raining the

baseball team is able to practice on it.

Q: Do you think it will save us more

money in the long run?

A: It is hard to judge it wouldn’t be a

huge savings but it would save us a

lot of man labor because with turf we

wouldn’t have to line and mow the

field and everything else that goes

with taking care of a grass field.

Q: Will the turf be blue or green?

A: My preference would be green.

The board was offered a bid for 135,000 to fix the problems in the natural grass but they did not take the

offer because they are thinking about getting turf. The Allen East Board of Education has been looking at

bids to see how much it would cost to replace our football field now, with synthetic turf. The school is able

to seek bids from architectural/engineer farms and turf companies. The board is waiting for the bids to

come back to see if the school’s system can afford it, according to Mel Rentschler, our Superintendent (in

the Lima News). The board doesn’t want to figure out the cost but they want to plan a timeline. Their goal

is to try and get next year’s football and soccer teams playing on turf. In the month of October there was a

meeting open to the public to vote for the turf field and 92% were in favor of it.

This year our high school has the option to give a little more than just a gift this holiday season. Our first if two blood drives will be held Friday November 13 in the auxiliary gym.

Someone in the US needs blood every two seconds,

so if you're up for doing a good deed, donating

blood is a phenomenal choice. More than 41,000

blood donations are needed each day, and because

blood cannot be manufactured, we need people

like you too help!

The blood drive is going too held on Friday November 13 from 7:30 to 1:30 in the gym.

Sign up during lunch this week!

This year the school had some major and minor changes. The start and end of

school day and the number of minutes per period are two of the major changes

that had happened to the school. In some cases these changes may be a good

thing but there are some cons to go with the pros.

This year the two

buildings have new

start and end times.

The Elementary

Building now starts at

8:05 instead of last

year’s 8:31. They get

out at 2:57 instead of

last year’s 2:55. Mr.

Baumgartner said that

they made the days

longer because before

our school days were

the minimum amount

that Ohio allowed. With

testing and other

materials teachers

needed more time to

cover the information,

so for that reason they

moved the classes from

40 minutes to 48

minutes. This year high

school starts early as

well, even earlier than

the elementary does.

The high school starts

at 7:53 and they get

out at 3:05. For the

students the pro to

starting earlier is the

kids get to keep getting

out of school for

summer break in May.

While the cons include

the busses coming

earlier meaning the

kids need to get up

earlier than normal to

make sure they don’t

miss the bus. We asked

some kids their

thoughts on this new

schedule. Here are

what some of them

thought:

“To look on the positive

note at least we get to

keep our long summer

vacation.”

-Kacy

Carter

“I don’t like the fact I have to

wake up earlier than I

normally did.”

-Mason DuVernay

“I don’t like it why? Because I have to wake up earlier. Why? Because I live too far.”

-Nate Twining

S.A.D.D is such a wonderful thing for not only Allen East but also many more schools. It shows kids that there is much more to life than harming their bodies in various ways. Recently the S.A.D.D. team was able to give us a little glimpse of what life would be like without all the various destructive decisions in our lives. It also gave us examples of what these destructive decisions can do. The assembly was very fun and enjoyable yet very serious.

The high school secretary had announced that all the students were supposed to go to the gym after the end of the third period bell. The halls were swarmed with all the students, and it took a while for everyone to get in there and get seats. When they walked in, there was loud music playing and S.A.D.D. students greeting the students in the front entrance of the gymnasium. Once everyone got quiet, each of the S.A.D.D. students were announced as they danced down the middle of the gym floor. It was really enjoyable to see all the cool dance moves. Then to get the crowd loosened up everyone

played a game called “The Safe Driving Dance” which was taught to the S.A.D.D. by Bill Cordes. While everyone was waiting for all the contestants to learn the dance we did the class cheer of “hey mustangs.” The crowd had a contest between all the classes and Mrs. Prichard said that the seniors won although some felt that the freshman should’ve won. After all the fun and games were done, the skits had started. They showed us that you don’t have to pretend to be someone that you’re not just to fit in. The skits were very powerful they gave us all an example of what very bad decisions

can do to us. In the end Mrs. Prichard explained to us that her only wish was for us to be safe and to think about our decisions before we make them.

group?

A: Our CORE group is people who attend regularly and we strengthen

our ability to make FCA better.

Show Choir is beginning to take over our vocal talent here at Allen East and just about

everyone knows why. The Allen East Show Choir is taking a big step into the musical

department of our school and is hopefully going to be one of the big successes. Moving in a

different direction then what our retired Mrs. Spencer had used to go, Ms. Lindherst

plans to focus on an accelerated show choir rather than an average choir.

Choir Events

The show choir has a few upcoming events

for their 2015-2016 year. Today the

group has gone to Heidelberg University

for the college’s Music Day that they host

each year. The Show Choir also has an

upcoming school musical that any grade

may participate in. The musical is over the

Sound of Music and show dates are far

off into the month of April, where they will

show on the 22nd and 23rd. On Thursday

November 5th, the Allen East Choir had

performed for the Mustang Breakfast

Club.

BRASS November 2nd, 2015 Lacey Wright Page 11

This year’s Brass season has sadly come to an end. They had an outstanding season and had

so much fun cheering on the football players. It was a tough end to the season but the Brass

was behind the boys the whole way! We had the chance to interview the awesome man who

makes the Brass as good as it is! That’s right, Mr. Dellifield.

Q: Is there anything interesting

you want people to know about

you before we start?

A: I authored a book called Ten-

Hut. In 1965 I won the halftime

show contest at Purdue

University and had my show

performed at halftime of the game. I also

developed a film called “Marching and Dancing

Brass Men.”

Q: How do you think this brass season went?

A: It was an outstanding year. We don’t rebuild

we reload. I promised the seniors that I wouldn’t

compare them to last year’s seniors and they

went above and beyond to exceed my

expectations. Thanks to them the

legacy is strong, if not stronger and

the challenge begins for the class of

’17 to exceed the same expectations.

Q: Do you think the junior class can

do as well as the seniors did this year?

A: Absolutely! I expect them to exceed not only

my expectations but last years’ expectations also.

Q: What expectations do you

have for the upcoming seniors?

A: To set their own goals and

with their goals they set the

Brass’s goals. What are their

expectations of me? What are

their expectations for the

brass? Are they up to these challenges? (Is there

a number 8 next year???)

Q: What is something you’re going to miss about

this year’s seniors?

A: The comradery, the bonding/long talks and

the sharing of dreams and goals.

Q: Is there anything else you would

like to add?

A: See you next year! Come back

December 1st and see the planning

board for 2016. PS: There is still

time to sign up for Varsity Pep

Band!

Varsity Football November 6, 2015 Olivia Lawrence Pg. 13

The girl’s team had many accomplishments once again this year. Coach Houston was voted Coach of the Year. Many girls made first and second team and some received honorable mentions. Also they got NWC champions for the 3rd year in a row now! They had to work hard to receive that title once again and they are hoping to do it again next season. The team did lose their tournament game which wasn’t how they wanted their season to end but they still had many positives.

The girl’s season was

officially over on

fought really hard

but couldn’t pull out

a win. They played Crestview Ashland at

home. The score in the first half was 1-

1 but in the second half Crestview

Ashland came back scoring 3 more

goals making the final

score 4-1. Jade Meyer

was our only scorer.

The team fought until

the final whistle blew.
