European Travels
By Kevin Wehle

Over the summer, I got the amazing opportunity to travel abroad to Europe. I traveled with 35 other students from all over the country and 3 travel guides. Upon leaving on July 15th, I first landed in Athens, Greece and stayed in a small hotel there. I got to see the Parthenon and talk to the locals. After Athens, I traveled to a small island next to the mainland of Greece named Aegina. It was great there and the water was clear. A few of the people I traveled with stepped on sea urchins and had to go to the doctor. After the island I traveled to Italy and that’s where most of my stay took place. I went to Florence, Rome, Venice, Pisa, Assisi, and Pompeii to name a few. I saw David in Florence, statues of molten people in Pompeii, and took a canal ride in Venice. Assisi was kind of a detour, but it was beautiful, and we were able to dine up on a hill in isolation. After my touristy stays throughout Europe, I stayed with an Italian family in the small town of Pistoia and had tons of fun. After being with my family for a few days I took an overnight train to Paris, France and ended in the Gare De Lyon. In France I stayed mainly around Paris visiting the Palace of Versailles, going to the top of the Eiffel Tower and eating crepes in Montmartre. Overall, I learned so much about other cultures, and I would recommend traveling, whether it be as close as Canada or as far as Europe; you won’t ever regret it. I made memories I’ll forever remember; hopefully, you can too.

  Remote Learning During the Pandemic    By Ethan DeSalvo    Remote learning throughout Covid-19 has been a different experience and has presented many learning curves for students. These learning curves have proved difficult for students, but it has also provided teachers the time and situation to adapt to these types of situations and to be better prepared for the future if something similar where to happen. Remote learning has its downfall such as students are not paying attention and doing something else, and the many distractions of one's home. Covid-19 has also forced us to adapt to learning when school is out whether it be due to a pandemic or because of a snow day or something in the school breaks. Remote learning could eliminate the use of snow days though it has its setbacks for that such as power being down in a certain area in a town, and the many distractions of...

Crop analysis- Alfalfa Hay

  Crop analysis- Alfalfa Hay By: Connor Ingham                 Alfalfa hay is a leguminous plant that is grown mainly for silage, animal feed, or for a nitrogen supplying cover crop. Alfalfa, unlike most other plants, can grow for up to five production years after the first cutting of hay is complete. Commonly, alfalfa is mixed with other types of grasses, such as timothy hay, or oats that provide wind protection and frost protection during the winter, due to alfalfa’s low height. To begin the planting process, alfalfa can be planted with just a dusting of soil, typically in well drained areas for best quality, during any summertime month. The plant will surface normally within 15 days where it will grow into stems with generally a distinctive tri leaf design. This trend will continue as the plant gains a bush like shape into the mature age (around a height of 12 inches). Once the plant is mature, purple...
