The screen grab pictured right was an in-quiry lab where students were to explore the differ-ences in the chemical properties of ionic compounds vs. covalent compounds.

In the image, Jaiman Holden was at the lab station where he was testing the differences in the amount of energy released when bonds are formed between atoms. They were to form magnesium ox-ide from burning magnesium in the presence of oxy-gen and carbon dioxide from burning carbon in the presence of oxygen. The energy released can be seen with the naked eye.

SENIOR Projects 2021

Seniors (pose in front of FHS Auditorium) show expressions of relief immediately following the presentation of one of their last, major, graduation hurdles, the Senior Project. Projects were completed throughout Jr/Sr Years and presented this past March.

By ANTHONY JACKSON

In 2003, Farrell Area School District started a project called The Senior Project. This year, I had the honor of watching the class of 2021 present their Senior Projects on March 11, 2021.
The Senior Project is a project that students begin to work on Freshman Year. There are many requirements for the Senior Project like the career paper that you will have to do Junior year. For this paper, stu-dents are required to research two ideas of what you need to do for the remaining years of high school and or any post secondary education. You will get to choose your advi-sor in your last year of high school to help to guide you in your project after you have created a proposal. A passing score is 60% for this project. The
student presenter is evaluated by peers and your scores get compiled by your senior lead teacher. Each student is also required to have at least 40 hour of community service starting in 10th Grade. This project is also 1 credit on your
transcript. If you do not pass, you will be given an incomplete and have time to make it up.

NLMK Strike BY Jacara Green

As most residents know, NLMK is a mill in Farrell. What many residents may not realize is that it has been open for about 87 years (under different titles) and gives very generous donations to different places in many ways. They even give supplies here at Farrell for the students' use, and to contrib-ute to deferring the cost for supplies. In 1992, Sharon Steel closed down and the cities of Sharon and Farrell both suffered an economic blow and it oficially placed our communities in what is nationally known as, ¨The Rust Belt.¨ Rust Belt is a term that re-fers to an area of the northern United States. They are mostly the states near the Great Lakes that were known for steel pro-duction until they were closed down. In 2007, the mill opened back up as NLMK.
In researching the current events around the NLMK strike, I interviewed my father, Jacob Green, who worked at Sharon Steel and NLMK. He has been working at NLMK since 2013, and took part in the strike. When talking about strikes, everyone knows that the reason for doing this act is because the workers are unhappy with what the employer is trying to hand out to the

workers. In my dad's case, it is due to insurance.
Every four years, NLMK workers resign a contract for how much they will be paid, insurance, and how many hours have to be worked a week. With the con-tract that management presented, em-ployees were unsatisfied with the insur-ance that they would be geting. Man-agement wanted to give them HSHA (Hospital Sisters Health System) insur-ance, where they must go to the doctor, who only accepts that particular insur-ance and has a very high deductible. Then, under an emergency, if going to the hospital that does not accept HSA, that particular family would have to pay for all the treatment they received. They would have started off paying $185 a month for a family, while it would go up $50 each year. In 2024, it would be $385 each month, which is very pricey without an increase of pay.
The workers wanted to be un-der PPO (Preferred Provider Organization) Insurance where they, and their families can go to any doctor they need to at any time and anywhere. The company did not want to give PPO and wanted the workers to accept the particular option that they were offering. When the workers re-

viewed the offer, they decid-ed to
go on strike.
The union voted to go on strike on August 22nd, then gave a 48 hour notice to the company that they would go on strike if the contract did not change. Then, after the 48 hours were up, on August 24, NLMK workers went on strike when they refused to negotiate. They stood outside of the mill, had bonfires, ate and had fun with fellow co-workers. After 6 months, the company came with a new con-tract for the workers to sign.
The union had to vote on the new contract. The vote results were as follows: 276 said yes to the contract that was produced while 103 workers said no, and about 60 people didn't vote at all. Once most people said yes, each department started working. My dad commented about his first day back, ¨No it isn’t hard to get back to work, it’s just like riding a bike.'' He said that it took about 3-4 hours to remember the controls and what to look out for in safety.
Striking allowed the workers to keep the PPO insurance as they had before, and also added more money to seventeen job classes, therefore those classes got raises.

Track and Field: Coach Troy Harrison

I inter-viewed the FHS Track and Field Coach, also my dad, Mr. Troy Har-rison (pictured left). This is his first year coaching Track and Field, and from how it sounds so far, it seems that the season is off to a
positive start. The last time Farrell had a track team, the boys relay and girls relay had both finished in districts, led by Christian Lewis, who made it to States for the 100m and 200m races.
When I asked how he would feel	From left back: Dr. Multari, Coach Gillespie, Denzel Driver, Gary Satterwhite III, Taidon about rebuilding the team, he responded, ¨It	Strickland, Trian Holden, Sian Rain, Jaimen Holden, Julian Scarborough, Omar Steward, may be a little hard, without the same coach-	Coach Mr. Stewart, Bottom left: Demaris Crowder, Jacara Green, Nasir O’Kane, Brice But-ing staff they had, and athletes, but I feel that	ler, Kylon Wilson, Christian Hartley, Lamont Samuels, Toni Austin, and Maryiana Amos. they can pull through and get somewhere.¨
The complete coaching staff this year includes Mr. Troy Harrison, Mr. Deano Phillps , Mr. Kurt Chester, Mr.Victor Phillps, Ms.Dianne Willson, and Ms.Netta Keller
Mr. Harrison's favorite track event is the relay, because he feels you need a lot of skill and focus for it. The main reason for a relay is teamwork, and teamwork plays an important role in the relay because it is not easy achieving chemistry with your partner(s).
Conditioning and working out for Track and Field plays a big part in the season. For certain events, there are certain workouts. For example, if running the 100m (which is just the long part of the track) an

Easter Traditions By MICHELLE STUBBS

Easter is a holiday that is very well known around the world. Although the holiday originated from Christianity, it is now celebrated by people of many other religions. The celebra-tion of Easter was originally supposed to celebrate the belief of the resurrection of Jesus Christ, but now people of all sorts of religions celebrate it. According to the New Testament, Easter is three days after the death of Jesus on the cross.

A popular way that Easter is celebrated is just simply spending time with friends and family. It is common to go to church on the day of Easter or Friday before to celebrate “Good Friday.” Some of the very common ways that people celebrate Easter are dying Easter eggs, going to see the Easter Bunny,

While winter changes to spring, people would honor her and
her companion would have her the power to lay eggs once a
year. Rabbits or “Easter Bunnies” usually give birth to a big
litter of babies, which is why that became a symbol of new life.
There is a legend that the Easter Bunny lays eggs, decorates
them, and hides them because eggs are also a symbol of new

Faith Zagoti, grade 12, said, “I participate in Lent during the weeks leading to Easter by cuting out red meat on Fridays. I celebrate the holiday itself, too. My mom is super creative and goofy. For the morning of, she puts an empty basket beside and lays out a trail of full size candy bars to our baskets. My mom also always puts movies in our Easter, so after we eat we sit in the living room and watch the movies we got together.“
life. This is why it is common that children go on easter egg
hunts during the easter season. Early Christians decided that
eggs should be a part of their yearly celebration. In some areas,
eggs were not allowed to be eaten during lent, which is Chris-
tian celebration that provides a 40-day fast excluding Sundays,
so it was important to have them on Easter Day.
Tyleigh Stinedurf said that this year she will be going to Myrtle Beach to celebrate Easter with her family, how exciting! Mrs. Armour said “My hus-band's family has taken a bike ride on the local bike path for the past couple of years.     We attend our church's Easter egg hunt.
