Creatine
 by Heather Leach
    I was sitting in class Thursday and we were discussing high school students using Creatine.  Creatine isn't technically a steroid, it's just something that enhances your performance, strength, and size.  These are teenagers taking what I consider to be a steroid and a drug.
  It is their choice and if there are consequences, scientists don't even know the future effects of this drug, it's their fault and their problem but still, I don't think that it's right.
     A High School Varsity football coach is promoting and selling this drug to his players!  Whether he's on staff or not it's wrong.  It is not illegal for people to use Creatine and I can't make it so that it is, but I don't think that they should be able to sell it or promote it at school.
Congratulations

    I taught journalism at Reedsport Senior High at one time.  Your online paper is very impressive!  It is nice to see the journalism program doing such good things.


    Dear Mr. Erickson,
  Your letter was greatly appreciated.  We are always looking for words of encouragement and improvement.  This paper has been no easy task for my staff, as none of us have previously taken the class.  Thank you very much for your letter.
                    Newspaper Editor,
