Conspiracy Theories are so fun to talk about. So for the three people that read this article, I have brought together two of my favorites and I will give my needed and wanted opinion. First, faked moon landing. A guy named Bill Kaysing did two things of note. One, he started the theory that the moon landing was fake. Two, it gave me the idea to put muzzles on ducks. Get it? Bill Casing? I hate myself. His doubts started when he was thinking about how it didn’t seem that NASA had the technological capabilities. I think this is an odd reason because it’s not like NASA is just handing out documents declaring what they can and cannot do. This was during the space race and they couldn’t let the commies know what they were capable of doing or not doing. In his defense, though, he probably knew a good deal more than other people at the time because he worked Rocketdyne. This helped in the design of the Saturn V rocket engine, and sounded like an evil corporation from a comic book. In 1976, he made a pamphlet, called “We Never Went to the Moon: America’s Thirty Billion Dollar Swindle.” Despite how crazy and low-quality the pamphlet was, people read it and listened to him. Some people still believe him to this day, and you can see for yourself if you want to risk your health and go on Reddit. Despite a lot of evidence such as visible footprints and a rock from the moon, many people believe the moon landing was a lie. I think it’s hilarious if it was fake and the moon rock is just from Montana or something and now for the first time, something from Montana is exciting. In the next one, I would like to take a gander at is the whole 5G will kill us all thing. People started fearing Electromagnetic waves more in 1979 when a study came out suggesting that children who lived near power lines were more likely to develop cancer. And since this was around the Cold War, people were scared of radiation and the cancer or the communism it might give you. (I apologize for the communism jokes, I promise I’m not that lazy or unfunny in person) This caused people to begin fearing other household items such as hair dryers or microwaves. And the people who were afraid of the waves a hair dryer emits aren’t the biggest fan of cellphones, tiny radiation boxes in your pocket, giving you cancer and convenience. With the new 5G, along with its aggressive advertising and release similar to the time the pandemic started, has people quaking in their boots. The most obvious thing to say to people who believe this is this: What do people who provide 5G have to gain from dying customers and a plummeting economy? And WHO has conducted many studies that there aren’t health risks from low level EM waves? But if these were rational, well informed people this wouldn’t be a problem so we can just sit there and laugh at them I guess. In conclusion, I don’t know, be smart. https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2020/05/great-5g-conspiracy/611317/ https://www.theguardian.com/science/2019/jul/10/one-giant-lie-why-so-many-people-still-think-the-moon-landings-were-faked

Writer - Lily Monigold Amelia Creech, for example, was able to find fun and joy in Christmas by spending time with her grandparents and baking cookies. As you can see, they are some pretty awesome cookies! Ashtyn Hall also had an eventful and fun Christmas break. She went on vacation in Arkansas and Florida, and enjoyed “seeing family and friends!” R.J. Smith was able to see his grandma and have some quality time with family. I guess the family time included some pretty cute cats too! Lily Monigold was able to spend Christmas with her grandparents, and spent a week at their house before Christmas as well. One of the gifts she gave this year was a zentangle cat picture that she drew for her mom. Megan Douthitt passed the time over break "gaming with my friends and moving barns." Her horse, pictured below, has her new girth at a new barn. Riding this horse helped her have a great winter break.

Hi! I’m Amelia Creech. I am a Junior at LeRoy High school that enjoys the smell of rain, spending time with family/friends, and homemade chicken pot pie. Helping others in any way I can is the thing I am best at. When I heard the Paw Print was looking for people interested to contribute, I jumped to the opportunity. I hope to float around and do whatever is needed to assist the Paw Print. This way I can serve others, while improving my skills.
In elementary school I can remember having fun writing stories off of the prompts the teachers gave. Letting my imagination run wild has always come easy for me. During fifth grade I also wrote the book that won the Young Authors award from our school. I still have a large habit of writing down my thoughts and ideas on a Google doc. Later, I come back and sometimes use them to make pieces of literature. While I would say I am an average writer, my forte is art. It is another way I express my imaginative side. I do a large variety of things regarding art. Whether it be digital or hands-on. Though I have some experience, there is always more to learn. I believe the Paw Print has the potential to become something amazing and I’m excited to see it grow. Hi my name is Brady Mullis, I love Art it’s a passion for me. I joined Paw Print because I wanted to try something new in high school.
