We are excited to be a part of the inaugural Minnesota State High School League (MSHSL) Boy's Lacrosse season. The attainment of varsity status on the state and Bloomington school district level is the result of the hard work of many people, and for that we are thankful.
Varsity status and the subsequent change in league administration from the old MBSLA to the MSHSL will bring a few changes to the program in 2007. The biggest change for the team is that we will now have equal access to school and district facilities, which means we will practice on campus, and best of all, we will play all of our home games in the Bloomington Stadium. The other major change is that the season is a bit shorter, but with more games. We will play 12 games in all over a 9 week season, and we will be a part of the Lake Conference. 9 of those 12 games will be Lake Conference games.

| TLC Random Acts of Kindness |
| Every year the confirmation classes at Transfiguration Lutheran Church in Bloomington go out into the community and do random acts of kindness. The groups do anything from caroling to bagging groceries, washing tables and car windows to just inviting people to Christmas services. These simple acts let students see that they can make a difference. "It also shows people in the community that many teens are trying to do good things," said Youth Pastor Stephanie Coltvet. She also said she enjoys seeing the happiness that they bring to these people. "I especially like the chance to bring the holiday spirit to the people who are in nursing homes and don't get too many visitors," She commented. |

Project Santa 2006
BLOOMINGTON, MN - Skills USA at Bloomington Kennedy High School once again raised money and put together sleighs filled with toys for the Harriet Tubman Center in Minneapolis. Called Project Santa, the students organized a holiday party complete with Santa for the children and their mothers at the shelter. The students helped the children decorate cookies and ornaments while playing games and coloring together. The students say the most important thing is just being with the students and giving them a bit of the holidays during this traumatizing experience.
That evening, December 22, the group accepted an award and a check for $1,000 on behalf of the Harriet Tubman Center at the Minnesota Timberwolves game where December the organization is celebrating the "Season of Giving". The focus of the "Season of Giving" campaign is to honor organizations and events that work to improve the holiday season for Minnesotans in need.

Over 15 years ago, four students and a teacher gathered in a St. Louis Park community room and convened the first class of Sobriety High. Their unique solution to school had grown from a realization that barely ten percent of teens treated for chemical dependency remained chemical-free one year after completing treatment.
A return to the same school, the same friends, the same unhealthy environment of their use, proved time and time again to be too strong an influence - too easy a road to the habits, the abuses, the relapses that occur in nine out of ten cases.

You've gotten out the door, dealt with the parents, everything is going great.
You arrive at Prom and have a great time. You were the life of the party, you danced the night away, it is the time of your life, you will remember this for the rest of your life. The DJ says "hey Seniors, this is the last prom you are going to have, get with that special someone, that person you've always wanted to ask to dance but never took the chance, and ake this, your last dance of high school special."
Prom ends and it was a great time, but the night isn't done, in fact it's still young. It's the peer pressure, its the feeling that nothing you do can go wrong, its the magic of the night. It is after the Prom dance that has changed many teenager's lives.
Prom is a night many teenagers choose to turn off their brains and give into peer pressure
A dangerous game to play.
The Bloomington Police say that Bloomington youth should thinnk safe and legal on both Graduation and Prom nights. Dumb decisions change lives.

Worried about going back to school? Here's some helpful tips from REAL, experienced highschoolers.
1. Do not walk fast or run in the halls, people will try and trip you.
2. MAKE NEW FRIENDS! (Sad as it is, you may not have all your friends in your classes)
3. Do not loan out pens and pencils - PROTECT THEM. You will never get them back!
4. Freshman: in the first 2 weeks of school, keep your wardrobe middle-school clothing free.
5. If you're making anything on the computer, such as a powerpoint, print out a hard copy. (In case technology doesn't seem to be on your side)
6. Don't leave valuable items in your gym lockers -- they will go on a never-ending vacation...away from you!

Kissing Facts:
A researcher in Germany, reports that he spied on 124 pairs of adults who turned their heads left or right while kissing on the lips in public places. He discovered that two-thirds of the kissers went to the right, he found.
England and Whales has made it illegal to kiss behind the bike shed. Kissing and other furtive fumbling in public areas is now banned by law, but the chances of schoolchildren ending up in court for their actions are remote, because authorities will not spend time to enforce it.
Infectious mononucleosis, commonly called mononucleosis or "mono," is an illness caused by a viral infection. Mononucleosis has been nicknamed the "kissing disease" because it is commonly transmitted in saliva during kissing. However, sneezes and coughs also can transmit the virus occasionally.
The kissing disease, has recently been discovered to have links to cancer in young people. So be sure who you are kissing, or you may end up with an infectious deisease, or worse!
However there are several benefits to kissing as well. Scientific tests show that good kissing helps reduce dermatitis, skin rashes and blemishes. It also makes your skin glow and your eyes shine.
Kissing encourages saliva to wash away food from the teeth and lowers the level of the acid that causes decay, preventing plaque build-up.
Fifty percent of all people have kissed before they turn 14.
Good, rich, passionate kissing can help you burn up to 600 calories per hour!
“Bad” kisses can be cause for alarm, especially if you get them often. Bad kisses may be a sign that your partner lacks the ability to be totally intimate.
Babies who are kissed usually have a greater capacity for intimacy later in life.
Our brains have special neurons that help us locate each other’s lips in the dark.
Kissing can relieve headaches. With relaxation, the tension that restricts blood vessels in the brain is released. Quality is the key.
The average person spends 336 hours of his or her life kissing. At an approximate length of one minute each, that’s 20,160 kisses! It’s worth it to learn to kiss well |

1. Before turning on the ignition, make sure the wipers are not frozen to the glass. (Always stop the wipers with the wiper switch and wait until they go into their "park" position before turning off ignition. This is necessary because your wipers will finish one cycle when you turn on the ignition, even though you turn the wipers before right before turning on the ignition the next morning.)
2. Let your engine warm up while you clear off snow or ice from all window surfaces. Put heater fan on "high", heat on "hottest", and selector on "defrost". Be sure to clear off any snow accumulated on the hood and front fenders. This can make it hard to judge distance. Turn on electric rear window defroster if you have one. (In-glass defrosters improve rearward visibility under all moisture-producing conditions, including summer rain.)
3. Check all lights, including headlights, parking lights, tail lights, backup lights, and lane-change signals. Make sure they are free of snow or road grime. Even if you don't wash your car all winter, keep your lights clean.
4. If visibility is anything less than normal, turn headlights on low beam, even during daylight hours. Although this may not improve your ability to see, it will make it easier for the other guy to see you and to judge your speed and distance. NEVER, NEVER, NEVER use parking lights on the highway for any reason. As the name indicates, they are for PARKING. When used on the highway, they tend to distort the other drivers' perception of your speed and distance, especially if most other cars are using headlights.
Traction Tips
1. If your car will be parked for some time while it is snowing, try to back into the garage or parking space. When it's time to move, pulling out will be easier than backing out. For rear drive cars, the bare spot where the car is standing may provide enough initial traction to get you going. For front drive cars, backing in snow is more difficult than for rear drive cars so plan ahead.
2. If you have rear drive, load your passengers from back to front. If you have just one passenger, have him/her sit in the middle of the back seat. You want as much weight as possible over the drive wheels.
3. If you appear to be stuck in your parking spot, try rocking the car with gentle backward and forward motions. (Never change gears while moving or accelerating.) If you move forward/backward for a limited distance and then stop, reverse your direction in your own tracks and hit it again a little harder. Avoid sitting in one spot and spinning your tires. This only heats up the tires and digs you in deeper. If you have standard differential, without traction control, it will be possible for one wheel to spin while the other is motionless. A burlap bag, grocery bag, or cardboard carton under that spinning wheel may get you going. Carry a bag of cat litter (unused). A little under the tire may provide assistance for a spinning wheel.
4. Make all moves slowly and carefully: starting, stopping, turning, speeding up, slowing down. Sudden moves cause trouble when the traction is poor.
5. If the main traffic lane is very slippery and you're having trouble getting up a hill, try driving slowly with 2 wheels on the edge of the roadway.
6. Try to avoid going up a hill right behind another car. If it loses traction and starts to slow down, you're licked, too. When approaching a hill, follow the other car at a significant distance and then pick your own pace and maintain it. Inertia is your friend while going up a hill with poor traction.
7. If your drive wheels start to spin or slide while going up a hill, ease off on the accelerator slightly and then gently resume speed.
8. To correct a skid TURN WHEEL IN THE DIRECTION OF THE SKID. If your rear end starts sliding to the right, turn the wheel to the right. If your rear end starts sliding to the left, turn your wheel to the left. Do not apply brakes while in a skid. When your wheels are locked, your car is a toboggan.
9. When ordering a new car with rear drive, be sure to ask for the "positraction" differential. This option is the next best thing to front drive for traction in snow. It delivers power to the drive wheel with the best traction. When ordering a new car with front drive, be sure to ask for the "traction control".
Bits on Braking
1. Brake gently and in an on/off pattern. Power brakes require an especially light touch on the pedal.
If you have ABS (automatic braking system) designed to prevent your wheels from locking up when braking, check your owner's manual about stopping under poor traction conditions. As a general rule, continuous pedal pressure will be better than on/off braking. When the ABS engages, you'll hear a rumble from the brakes and the brake pedal will vibrate under your foot. The ABS computer is controlling which wheel is braking in order to prevent a skid. NOTE: Resist the temptation to take your foot off the brake while ABS is engaged; maintain constant pedal pressure.
2. Decelerate well in advance of a turn or stopping point. Try to avoid using brakes while turning; slow down in advance of the turn and then accelerate very gently while going through it.
3. When descending a hill, pick your maximum safe speed while at the crest and then stay under that speed throughout the decent with gentle on/off braking. Don't expect to do all your braking at that stop sign at the bottom.
4. If you are approaching a stop with alternate patches of ice and bare pavement between you and the stop, brake firmly as you cross the bare spot and coast over the ice.
SPECIAL NOTE: Use your four-way flashers if you are moving much slower than other traffic, stopped in or near a traffic lane, or making an unusual maneuver.

| Hockey Fans Receive Penalty |
 SOURCE: http://www.2playhockey.com/pics/eash_sbxultraprolite.jpg
Jefferson students along with many parents were upset over the decision to remove all the fans. According to Jefferson students a few kids may have been saying inappropriate comments, but the entire group was not at fault. The students told us they wanted a refund along with an explanation as to why all of the fans were removed. When we tried to reach Apple Valley and East View officials nobody would talk to us. The arena manager would not comment, Apple Valley police would not return our phone calls and only gave us the police report when we came in person and asked for it, and the East View athletic director would only tell us that “it was an opportunity for us all to get better.” Jefferson Principal Steven Hill was expected to address the student body regarding the issue on the 14th but he was out of the building. Jefferson students left the arena with no explination they were told by police, as indicated in the report, “…I informed the group that the situation was not open to discussion, and they simply needed to leave or face arrest.” When we asked for Eastview and Apple Valley’s side of the story they refused to answer any of our questions.

| New Way to Get Around: Light Rail Transit |
 Light Rail to Bloomington is Done.
PRESS RELEASE:
MINNEAPOLIS/ST. PAUL – (Dec. 1) – Beginning Saturday, Dec. 4, Metro Transit will update routes in south Minneapolis, Bloomington, Richfield and Edina, offering customers more travel options to more places.
“This area is Metro Transit’s busiest, generating more than half of our system’s annual rides,” said General Manager Brian J. Lamb. “Through an extensive public outreach effort, customers and community leaders offered more than 4,200 comments on improving service for the area’s half a million residents and increasing access to its 500,000 jobs. It is the culmination of three years of planning, developing a plan to best meet the travel needs of the area with the resources available to Metro Transit.”
Highlights of changes taking place include:
• Completion of the Hiawatha light-rail line – with service to the airport and Mall of America
• New, fast I-35W limited-stop bus service operating all day between downtown Minneapolis and Bloomington
• Improved neighborhood-to-neighborhood service connecting with I-35W service and Hiawatha Line trains
• 600 new weekday bus trips connecting to and along I-494 between Mall of America and Edina, one of the largest employment areas in the Twin Cities
More park-and-ride spaces also will be available starting Dec. 4. There are 500 free spaces near Best Buy headquarters at I-35W and I-494, 200 spaces at Woodlake Lutheran Church at 76th Street and Newton Avenue South and 80 spaces at Bloomington South Transit Center at 99th Street and Lyndale Avenue South. This is in addition to parking spaces at the light-rail stations at Fort Snelling (940 spaces), Lake Street/Midtown (240 spaces), and 28th Avenue (600 spaces).
To ease the transition to revised routes, staff are posted at key boarding locations starting today, ensuring customers understand the changes. Customer outreach will continue for a week after the changes take effect.
Route-by-route descriptions of service can be found by clicking “Central-South changes” at metrotransit.org
This project is Metro Transit’s fourth implementation of improved and restructured service. In
1998, the agency divided the region into nine geographic sectors, and has been restructuring service in one sector at a time. A 2001 overhaul of northeast-metro service resulted in a 6 percent ridership increase.
For route and schedule information, customers should call 612-373-3333 (TTY 612-341-0140). Using an interactive trip planning system at metrotransit.org, customers can plan their own trips in seconds. The web site also contains maps and schedules of post-Dec. 4 service that customers can view and print. Printed schedules are available on buses in the affected area, at Metro Transit stores and at hundreds of outlets. Twenty-four hour automated departure times are available by touch-tone phone at 612-341-4287.
Metro Transit, a service of the Metropolitan Council, is the nation's 11th largest bus system and operates the Hiawatha light-rail line. Customers board Metro Transit buses and trains more than 225,000 times each weekday.
