Churro Spotlight!
By Jakob Anderson
Published by Lily Hersch
What could be better than biting into a warm, crisp churro? Churros may seem like a theme park or carnival dessert but they are delicious when made miniature and covered in cinnamon and sugar crystals. Here is how you can make your very own churros.
Recipe:
1. For the coating whisk together 1/2 cup sugar and cinnamon in a shallow dish, set aside.
2. Heat about 1 1/2 inches of vegetable oil in a large pot or deep saute pan over medium-high heat to 360 degrees. Prepare the dough while the oil is heating.
3. Add water, butter, sugar and salt to a large saucepan, bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
4. Add flour, reduce heat to medium-low and cook and stir constantly with a rubber spatula until the mixture comes together and is smooth (a few lumps in it are fine).
5. Transfer mixture to a large mixing bowl, let cool for 5 minutes.
6. Add vanilla and egg to the flour mixture then blend immediately with an electric mixer. Blend until mixture comes together and is smooth (it will separate at first but keep mixing it will come together).
7. Transfer to a 16-inch piping bag fitted with a rounded star tip (no bigger than 1/2-inch). Carefully pipe mixture into preheated oil, into about 6-inch lengths, cut end with clean scissors. Let fry for about 2 minutes per side until golden brown.
8. Transfer to paper towels to dry briefly, about 15 seconds (don’t wait too long or they’ll be dry and the sugar won’t stick as well).Then transfer to cinnamon sugar mixture and roll to coat. Repeat the process with remaining dough (frying no more than 5 at once, separate with metal tongs if they stick a little).
9. Let cool for a few minutes, then serve warm.
-Cooking Classy.

The Ties Between Food and Mental Health
By Naiah Sirrine
Published by Lily Hersch For centuries, food has been closely linked to mental health. As of recently, overly processed foods have steadily risen in popularity, due to their ease and low cost. Because of this, both mental health and obesity have been rising in America. As ‘sugar health’ states, “Sugar and processed foods can lead to inflammation throughout the body and brain, which may contribute to mood disorders such as anxiety and depression.” Highly processed foods are incredibly addictive and train your brain to never feel satisfied, which leads to overeating and more brain fatigue. Furthermore, eating healthy whole foods improves gut health, which is directly linked to your nervous system. Ruby Winget, a senior at Corner Canyon, stated, “When I do eat healthily, it really helps me feel better and makes swimming easier.” Eating healthy promotes a clear mind and can positively affect your mental health. Additionally, eating clean and natural allows your body to feel full in a natural way, which can lead to healthy weight loss and promote protein intake, which will also increase the ability to save muscle. Clean food is full of crucial vitamins that affect mood as well. An increasing number of Americans have deficiencies in B12 or zinc. They can cause harsh symptoms such as fatigue, cognitive decline, and depression. As Missouri Medicine states, “shifting diets is also a way to promote recovery from mental illness once it has already taken hold.” This illustrates how it is never too late, if you are feeling sad. Food is directly correlated to health and making the change can be easier than you think. Callista, a sophomore, said, “When I eat healthy, it makes me feel so much better. It helps when I think about eating not as healthy, that I feel so much better this way!” Food can hurt and food can heal. Choose wisely. Published 4/27/23 |

Fish Tacos!By Cal Taggart
Published by Lily Hersch I think I only love one thing in this life: fish tacos. Tacos in general are one of the best food options ever due to their complexity and the amount of options, but fish tacos specifically are on the highest tier of delicious. I’ve had many great fish tacos around the country but there is no better place to get fish tacos than California. Now this seems pretty obvious so I don’t think I need to expound. I was lucky enough to grow up in California and think I have become a credible source for the best spots to get fish tacos. Two places I had great tacos that I did not expect were actually at the San Diego Zoo and a small Mexican place in Cambria, California. These were absolutely amazing, but don’t compare to my favorite of all time fish taco stop: The Beach House, located on a pier on Long Beach, California. These tacos have the absolute best fresh fish, and the coolest toppings like creamy avocado sauce and pumpkin seeds. I wouldn’t recommend anything more if you are ever in that area.

LifeTime Fitness P2

Written by Teancum Mitchell
Published by Lily Hersch Lifetime Fitness is a required class and this week many students took the test to get out of taking the class. This class shouldn't be required and is a pain for many students to do on top of their physical activities out of school. Even testing out is a problem because it causes students to miss multiple days of workouts if they have anything before school. The test is also unfair to the athletes that have to keep weight on themselves. To get out of Lifetime Fitness, students have to run a mile and a half within 11 ish minutes (times vary by gender), do a flexibility test, a shuttle, a written test, and a push up test. While this may seem pretty standard, doing these things to test out of a class is unfair to many people. ¨The second I heard you had to run the mile and a half I knew I wasn't going to be able to pass it.¨ Zion Finou states. Zion Finou is a young football player from Corner Canyon who is an O'Lineman. And if you don't know much about football, Olines are the biggest on the team and have to pack on a lot of weight to play (they usually try to get around 280-300 lbs). Even though Zion and the big boys like this are very active with their sports, they have to keep on a ton of weight, causing the test to be a lot harder for them and even preventing them from passing. ¨Taking Lifetime Fitness on top of my other classes was super annoying because I already spend so much time outside of school working out and playing my sports.¨ Boston Ross states. As stated above, many students are already very active outside of school and shouldn't be forced to take a class to learn pretty much what they already know. On top of that, students learn useless information about working out that really isn't realistic to keep a watch of, like reading your heart rate before/ after an exercise to tell you to take it easier or to push yourself harder.

The Importance of Hydration
By Lily Hersch
Posted by Lily Hersch I will begin this article with a poem, courtesy of myself: Swig this, swig that Redbull and Diet Coke Have also entered the chat In every Charger’s hand A special little drink Yet never seen Is water from a sink Summer is here Sports are abound Yet the lack of hydration Is simply profound We all love a treat Especially in the neverending heat But water is above all If you shall not desire For your kidneys to fall If the memo is not clear, I am using literary finesse to highlight the importance of hydration. Water being essential to your health is commonplace knowledge; yet, how seriously this is actually taken (CCHS beside) is on average not very. According to the CDC, American adolescents aged 12-19 had a mean water intake of 31 ounces a day; the recommended intake is at least 60 ounces per day. You don’t need to meticulously track your water intake, but at least to make sure you're drinking more water than the needs of a toddler. I do this by carrying around my obnoxious, sticker-embellished signature Hydro Flask (if it has a Biggie Smalls Patrick Star on it, it’s mine.) But, why? What’s the deal? Water is of course important year round, but with summer up and coming, it especially is; with the increase in heat, dehydration is much more rapid and prevalent. Per Henry Ford Health, the most common effects of not hydrating properly are headaches, digestive issues, weight gain, dull skin, weakened immunity, etc. Let’s not forget to mention the side-eyes you’ll get from the Instagram Health and Wellness community. A large percentage of this school runs solely on Swig, but plenty also take their water seriously. “It’s very, very important, especially before meets and not just during, to ensure you’re well hydrated prior to the event. You perform much better when you’re hydrated.” According to junior Whitney Riddle, a track hurdler for CCHS. Sophomore Stella Cianflone, vice president of HOSA, states “Water is the main reason your body functions. It helps digest foods and move them down to your bowels, regulate body temperature, and cures headaches.” Yeah, what they said! Published 4/14/23 |

Senioritis
By Ruby Winget Published by Lily Hersch The time has come for the 2022-2023 school year to come to a close. Only 8 more weeks until the school year is over and seniors get to graduate. As we enter the fourth quarter, the senior attendance is tanking. It has been proven that students' attendance between junior and senior year will go down by 10 percent or more. Lily Afualo, a struggling senior exclaims in tears “I don’t want to be here anymore”. Naiah Sirrine expresses, “Having to come back for another year would be my worst nightmare.” Dave Brinton, a senior who often shows up to his first period late, or not at all, enthusiastically says “Fudge school!!!” All of these seniors are just a sample of the mindset of the graduating class of 2023. Coach and teacher Patrick Thurman candidly states “Their attendance is nearly abysmal, genuinely concerned for them.” These students are plagued with an incurable illness, senioritis. Webster Dictionary defines this as “a supposed affliction of students in their final year of high school or college, characterized by a decline in motivation or performance.” Jenna Goates says “I have been down bad with senioritis since sophomore year.” This severe condition is brought about due to the lack of coursework and also an extreme lack of enthusiasm. As the first semester comes to an end and college acceptances come out, students realize that their attendance isn’t nearly as essential as it used to be. This quarter's grades most likely won’t even be seen by colleges. Most seniors have already gotten into the schools of their choice and are ready to embark on the next chapter. Their minds are focused on so many other things and they are honestly tired of high school. “Fourth quarter is basically a formality, I just need to pass my classes so I can get my diploma” says Ellie Bowler. You can do this class of 2023, only 34 days left of school and then you are home free. Published 3/31/23 |
Here are some ways to treat your crippling senioritis:

Assumptions and Their PowerBy Lily Hersch
Published by Lily Hersch Assumptions are something we create every day, whether we realize it or not. We make assumptions ranging from that the sun will rise tomorrow all the way to that someone is rude because they didn’t smile back at us. You may believe one is inherently less harmful than the other; likely the first one, that the sun will come up tomorrow. Yeah, it probably will. Yet, what if it didn’t? Would you act differently? Assumptions harm us more than we realize; they lead us down rabbit holes of judgment, self-loathing and misunderstanding. When we acknowledge our assumptions, rethink them, and understand their reasoning, we are able to have a better comprehension of ourselves and others. The way we view the world around us shapes our mindsets and beliefs highly. For example, if you were ordering a drink at a cafe and the cashier seemed disinterested, we may begin to believe that they’re a bad employee or that we did something wrong. This can lead us to not tipping or feeling embarrassed; maybe both. We are then stuck in an uncomfortable situation where both parties feel dismayed, all because we ASSUMED what the cause of the cashier’s lack of enthusiasm was and let our thoughts take over. In the book The Four Agreements, by don Miguel Ruiz, an excerpt goes as follows: “Assumptions are nothing more than lies that we are telling ourselves. This creates a big drama for nothing, because we don’t really know if something is true or not.” Assumptions are always harmful, as they can villainize people and/or ourselves without reason and create false realities. When you make an assumption, especially if it pertains to another person, try and ask yourself if you are giving yourself or the other person grace in what you are thinking. For example, if you are assuming someone is a bad person because of their political beliefs, take a step back to try and reframe your train of thought. Are they really a bad person, or were they raised in those beliefs and know no other? Are they a bad person, or do you just have different beliefs? This can help us cultivate a more understanding society, as we don’t create entire portfolios of somebody based on one or two interactions. Rarely are people truly ill-hearted, if ever; we just haven’t given them the grace we would like to be given ourselves. Published 3/27/23 |
CChs STUDENTs' Experiences with Assumptions:Gabe Gold, CCHS sophomore: "I thought all Mormons were weird, but like, it turns out they're actually really nice."
Anonymous: Sometimes I make assumptions about people based on the way they dress. If they have more basic styles I automatically assume that they have no personality; it's really mean of me, but once I get to know them I realize that their clothing often has nothing to do with whether I will like them or not.

Stress Management
|
By Nolan Cloyd
Published by Lily Hersch Sometimes life can get pretty hard and we can get down on ourselves, and start to overwhelm ourselves with work or school. These are some ways that we can manage and deal with stress. According to cdc.gov, these are some ways to deal with stress: “It is natural for children to worry when scary or stressful events happen in their lives. Talking to your children about these events can help put frightening information into a more balanced setting. Monitor what children see and hear about stressful events happening in their lives." Here are some suggestions to help children cope. Maintain a normal routine. Helping children wake up, go to sleep, and eat meals at regular times provide them a sense of stability. Talk, listen, and encourage expression. Listen to your child’s thoughts and feelings and share some of yours. After a traumatic event, it is important for children to feel they can share their feelings and that you understand their fears and worries. Watch and listen. Be alert for any change in behavior. Any changes in behavior may be signs that your child is having trouble and may need support. Stressful events can challenge a child’s sense of safety and security. Reassure your child about his or her safety and well-being. Discuss ways that you, the school, and the community are taking steps to keep them safe. Connect with others. Talk to other parents and your child’s teachers about ways to help your child cope. It is often helpful for parents, schools, and health professionals to work together for the well-being of all children in stressful times.” According to Keaton Hayes, this is a way to deal with stress: ”I am mainly stressed about school and a way to stop that is to stay caught up with my work.” CCHS student Krew LAbrum said this: “When I am stressed about something, I like to deal with it and make sure to care about myself first.” Published 3/27/23

“Mental health awareness doesn’t mean fighting stress, anxiety, depression and other everyday mental health issues, rather it means consciously modulating the habits that intensify those issues. Once you are in control of your habits, instead of checking your habits, you would automatically be in a much better shape, both mentally and physically. ”

Ap Exams and Mental Health
By Whit Riddle Published by Lily Hersch The AP testing season is right around the corner, and if you take any AP classes, I'm sure you've noticed the major shift in class to prepare for the test. But how do these standardized tests Corner Canyon students' mental health? I know for myself, I get very stressed. This test I prepare for all year round and I hope for the best score possible. While the end of the school year is relieving, it's also the month students have to take their AP tests. This can cause huge amounts of stress and anxiety among the student body. Harvard University states that standardized tests cause worrisome effects on not only students mental health, but also physical. In fact, standardized testing can make students think badly of themselves, sometimes students think that no matter how hard they try, they won’t meet good expectations. Test anxiety makes it difficult for students to sleep and perform well. In worse cases, some students get physically sick. How can we prevent testing anxiety? According to Collegexpress, getting good sleep and going to bed early is the number one way to reduce stress. Making a plan can also help, this allows students to break down the preparation into pieces, and not be overwhelmed with everything at once. When making a plan, make sure you make time for yourself, allow yourself a break from the stress. Lastly, don’t focus on the score; yes, a good score can look good on college applications, but you shouldn’t worry too much about it. It's more important to feel comfortable about the test. And in the end, the score you get on the test doesn’t define you. I’m only taking one AP exam this year, however, I spoke with Mckay Neyman, who is taking 4. “They stress me out and people can definitely tell I’m more stressed. I prepare for AP exams by making sure I get enough sleep the night before, and eat a good breakfast. I do most of my prep in class and a little at home.” Mckay has found a good way to regulate his stress, and he makes sure that he’s well prepared for all of his tests. Good luck to everyone this last quarter, and remember no matter what grades you get on assignments, or tests, don’t stress too much about it. You’ve got this!! Published 3/21/23 |

Teenagers and Sleep
By Cal Taggart
Published by Lily Hersch We all know that sleep is an essential component of both our health and well-being. Speaking from personal experience we also know how necessary it is for teenagers specifically. That begs the question then on why so many teens get much less then the needed amount of sleep per night. I will lay out the importance of sleep for teenagers and some of the factors that can affect sleep. Sleep is critical for teenagers for several reasons. It plays a vital role in physical growth and development. Did you know that during sleep, the body produces growth hormone, which is necessary for building and repairing tissues as well as supports the body’s immune function, which is particularly important during adolescence when the body is still developing its defense mechanisms. Sleep is also crucial for cognitive functioning as well. The brain getting enough sleep can actually improve learning and memory. Sleep helps regulate mood and emotional well-being, which is especially important for teenagers who may be experiencing heightened emotions and stress. And lastly, sleep is essential for overall health and well-being. Lack of sleep has been linked to many negative health outcomes. (Harvard) Several factors can affect how much and how well teenagers sleep. “I know I personally just have so many things to do that I end up going to sleep later than I wanted” said Avery Bankhead. Academic and extracurricular commitments can cut into sleep time. Myself and many other teenagers have busy schedules, with homework, sports, clubs, and other activities that take up into the night. It is true that many teenagers’ schedules are simply too full with activities that it becomes a choice of sleep or getting things they need to get done complete. Obviously our electronic devices can interfere with sleep too. Things like social media and games can make it hard to wind down for the day. “I can see how that’s true” said Olivia Gibbs, “I try to put my phone away long before bed but it’s hard to do sometimes”. Lastly, mental health issues can also impact sleep. Many teenagers experience anxiety, depression, and other mental health concerns, which can make it difficult to fall asleep and stay asleep. Obviously sleep is a crucial component of overall health and well-being, and it is important for teenagers. However, many factors can impact how much and how well teenagers sleep. Hopefully by laying out the factors of sleep loss as well as the consequences of sleep loss you can get better sleep yourself. By prioritizing sleep, you can support your physical, emotional, and cognitive development, and improve your overall health and well-being. Published 3/13/23 |

SeaSonal AFFective Disorder
By Naiad Sirrine
Published by Lily Hersch
Published by Lily Hersch
With the cold winter Utah brings, the very real issue of seasonal affective disorder (more commonly known as seasonal depression) is brought up, talked about, and often forgotten as soon as a glimpse of sun comes around or the headlines get moved to scarier issues. However, seasonal depression is a real and pressing issue. 5% of United States adults have the seasonal affective disorder, totaling to over 16 million people. These numbers are staggering, and don’t begin to include the thousands suffering who haven’t seen a doctor.
Symptoms of seasonal depression include extreme fatigue or tiredness, changes in appetite (both increasing and decreasing), feeling of hopelessness, and a loss of interest in things you used to enjoy. Jenna Goates, a senior at Corner Canyon, stated, “It’s always different when the weather changes. People are sadder, outside is just gray. It becomes hard to stay positive.” Another student here added, “When it changes from all warm and sunny to this, I can’t help but want to give up with my activities. I just want to sleep.” With a problem this big, there are some answers that have been seen to make improvements in people suffering with Seasonal Affective disorder. One such answer is a sun lamp. Sun Lamps are light-based therapy that have been proven to have positive effects on serotonin and on melatonin. It has had fantastic results to those who are affected by such depressive episodes, and has no side effects, as opposed to harsher treatments such as pills. Living in a place with as drastic and richly different seasons as Utah gives us, it is completely normal to feel differently when these changes occur. Callista Sirrine, a sophomore, states, “Light exposure therapy works. I learned all about the effects through my AP psychology course. I’ve also seen it change some of my loved ones' lives. Don’t ever be afraid to ask for help when you need it.” Many sources are available if you or a friend is struggling. Counselors and Hope squad are prepared to offer both help and comfort, getting anyone access to additional resources for a road to recovery. Posted 2/26/23 |

Parasite Cleanses...?
Written and Published By Lily Hersch
The original Health and Wellness baddies
Being a health and wellness girly can be hard. You have nearly every other day fruit hauls from the store, supplement research, finding motivating podcasts, getting in your morning stretches, etc. Patrick Bateman’s morning routine in American Psycho is just like my life, seriously. But, the most exhausting part of being a member of the health and wellness cult is the insane endorsement of things that are literally the opposite of wellness and often are more harmful than good. Think of week-long celery juice fasts, extreme diets, melatonin meltdowns, and the most recent, parasite cleanses.
If you don’t know what these are, let me save you from the same assumption I made at first; that being, ingesting literal parasites. Thankfully that’s not what a parasite cleanse is, but it’s not like the real thing is much better. According to Thrive Health Center, “A parasite cleanse kills and clears parasites from the body.” So, no parasite-ingesting, just ingesting the thing supposed to CLEAR parasites. It recently has become the center of attention among the health side of various social media, such as TikTok or Instagram. It’s being touted as beneficial for the claim that we all have harmful gut parasites, and a cleanse is important for our digestive system. This is…not correct. To explain, we all have gut bacteria, which the majority of is necessary for our health. If you’re reading this, you most likely live in a developed country. Contracting actually harmful gut parasites is likelier if you travel abroad where parasitic infections occur more. That all said, if you are not knowingly suffering from a parasite, PLEASE do not ingest a parasite remover. What you may believe is a zen, medical herbal concoction is in reality something that will take “tummy ache” to the next level and throw off your gut bacteria. I asked some CCHS students their thoughts on this new trend, receiving some interesting statements. From Kenna Gibbons, a CCHS sophomore: "I say no to parasite cleanses cause I'm okay with them living there." Well said Kenna, well said. Posted 2/13/23 |

Mental Wellness with Athletes
|
By David Brinton and Teancum Mitchell
Published by Lily Hersch There are a lot of benefits to playing sports for Corner Canyon. However, some sports are more dangerous than others. Football is one of the most dangerous sports, yet there are a lot of players who are willing to risk it. Football is difficult not only on the body, but the mind. The two correlate, being injured is not only a physical challenge but can be mentally draining. Lots of different injuries can happen from playing football, especially at such a high level. Some injuries that happened to players on the team this year were; Cole (John) Sexton tore Acl, David (Dave) Brinton tore his labrum, Teancum (Tank) Mitchell sprained his ankle, Alex Tullis tore his labrum, Kai Sevy had a concussion, Owen (Kermit) Borg got turf toe, Bridger (Giraffe) Davies hurt his hip, Kolbyn Jackson broke his leg, Charlie (Chuck) Ebeling tore his mcl, Tate (Jesus Lizard) Kjar broke his collarbone, and Luke (Storm) Henstrom sprained his ankle along with many other injuries. Last year the Tennessee Titans led the NFL with the most players on the injured reserves list. They had 33 total players on the list with 23 who had season ending injuries. This shows that no matter what level you are playing at there is a huge injury risk. Nonetheless, there are thousands of players that love the game so much that they are willing to risk the health of their bodies and their minds. Another big sacrifice to play sports like football is the time. You have to put in tons of time and effort not only to practice with your team, but practicing on your own. On top of that you have to lift, run and practice your individual skills to try to get better at your position. At Corner Canyon, we do this as a team everyday in the summer. If you do not have the right drive and will to better yourself then this can be herculean. Posted 2/7/23 |
