Windmuller wins $200 in Kansas
Sheriffs Association essay contest
"Violence in School" is the title of
the essay which won Chelsea
Windmuller, Mankato, A $200 prize
in the Kansas Sheriff Association Es-
say contest.
Windmuller, an eighth grade stu-
dent at White Rock Middle School,
Esbon, decided to enter theessay con-
test and Mary Sawyer, White Rock
Middle School teacher, provided in-
formation and rules in entering this
contest.
Windmuller was one of three in the
Kansas Sheriff Association District to
receive this honor. Her essay was one
of 28 from schools in the district, in-
cluding larger schools such as Beloit,
Junction City and Salina. Windmuller
received the check at a middle school
student body assembly Monday after-
noon.
Windmuller's essay is reprinted
here.
Violence in School
School violence is a problem that
millions of kids all over America face,
but how can we help make it safer for
kids to go to school? Should.we put
metal detectors at every door, have
teachers constantly patrolling the hall-
ways, and daily locker checks? But
wouldn't some students consider this
an invasion of privacy? Exactly how
far can we go with school security? As
a student I believe that students them-
selves should play a larger role in keep-
ing schools violence free. Such as
having student hall monitors and coun-
selors and more school activities and
programs that students can participate
in to keep out of trouble.
Student hall monitors would have a
good effect on both the school and the
students. Students know who is picked
on the most and who the bullies usually
are, so a student would have a better
idea of who to watch for in the hall-
ways rather than a teacher. These hall
monitors could then report any mis-
conduct they see in the hallways to a
teacher. Not only would this help
lower the amount of threats, harass-
ment, and stealing in the hallways, but
it would also help teach students re-
sponsibility and the importance of rules
and laws. Kids could also better un-
derstand why law enforcers sometimes
go to extreme measurers to keep people
safe.
If a student is having a problem
such as if they're contemplating sui-
cide or are planning on bringing a gun
to school they are likely to tell their
friends. Untbrtunately most kids don't
take theses cries for help seriously and
the results can be tragic. If a student
were to learn through training how to
help kids they could become peer coun-
selors. I think this vcould help many
students since kids generally trust
people their own age more than adults.
If a problem as serious as suicide is
confided to a peer counselor then that
counselor could act as a mediator be-
tween the troubled student and a help-
ful adult. This would not only lower
the risk of school shootings and stu-
dent suicides along with many other
problems, but it would also create a
stronger trust between students.
School activities and programs have
helped to keep students out of trouble
for years. Unfortunately not all stu-
dents want to or can play basketball or
join the FBLA. Some of these students
instead drive the streets after school or
search for someone old enough to buy
them cigarettes. A wider variety of
school activities would help reduce
this problem, whether it means starting
a nature club or a yo-yo class where
studentscan learn newtricks. Students
who join these programs would soon
realize they can have just as much fun
or more learning rather than getting
drunk at a party after school. Another
school program that helps keep stu-
dents away from drugs is D.A.R.E.
This program not only teaches kids to
stay away from drugs, but it also teaches
them how to say no to drugs and how to
avoid situations that could harm them.
Another program which teaches stu-
dents good values isCharacter Counts.
Character Counts rewards students for
each time they are seen doing a good
deed. These rewards make kids want to
show off their good behavior more
often.
All of these ideas would help lower
the violence in schools making safer
learning environments. Studentswould
be less fearful about being attacked at
school so they can concentrate more
on learning. They would have a better
understanding of why it is essential to
have rules. Although we can't solve
school violence completely, we can
help to make schools a safer place for
all kids.

TO VISIT AREA
Steve Kraak, a self-proclaimed rainmaker from Wiscon-
sin will be in the area visiting friends this weekend.
Kraak, (pronounced crock, as in "What a crock") claims
that each time he visits this area it rains either shortly before
he arrives, during his stay, or shortly after leaving.
Kraak will, no doubt, be boasting of the latest precipita-
tion we have received and will claim responsibility for it as
he tries to enjoy a Saturday evening meal the the Buffalo
Roam. ,,.
Stop in and say thank you if you feel the
urge, at. just swing by and see what type of
person would make such ridiculous claims. "-
