Carpi, My Italian City

By Anna Verzelloni

“Hi, my name is Anna and I’m an exchange

student from Italy!” This is definitely the

phrase I used the most during my first month

here in the United States, but now that you

already know me, I would like to tell you

something more about where I am from.

I live in Carpi, a town in the north of Italy,

where I go to school and where I play volleyball.

Carpi is close to Modena, which is a big city know for the Ferrari car and

balsamic vinegar, that are both produced there. My town has about

80,000 inhabitants and in Italy is considered a small city, even if for you it

could seem really big.

Carpi is known for the big Renaissance square in the center of the town

and for the Cathedral and the Castle that are both in it.

The square is called Piazza dei Martiri, and it is one of the biggest in Italy.

It’s the place where I usually spend my Saturday nights. I used to eat a

pizza with my group of friends, and then we walk through the square eat-

ing an ice-cream.

The Cathedral is probably the main building in Carpi. In 2012 my city was

hit by a strong earthquake, and many buildings of the historical area fell

down. Luckily the Cathedral was only partly damaged, and now it’s already

rebuilt. The Castle was originally property of the Pio family, and now it is a

museum.

My city is also know for the soccer team, Carpi FC 1909, that in 2015

cliched Series A, the main Italian championship. Gregorio Paltrinieri is an

Italian swimmer that was born in my town and that attended my school,

and he won the gold medal in the 1500 m free style at the Olympic Games

in Rio de Janeiro in 2016.

Foreign Exchange Students By Ty Meredith

This year we have three foreign exchange stu-

dents, and we couldn’t be happier to have them a

part of our school. Their names are Nienke

Reijnen, Anna Verzelloni, and Oxane Mbiguino

Nienke is originally from the Netherlands. Her fa-

vorite sport is volleyball, and she also likes to ski.

When asked what she thought about Melstone,

Nienke said that it was small but very nice. A fun

fact about Nienke is that she would go to school

by bike and would have to cycle for 40 minutes.

Our next foreign exchange student is Anna Ver-

zelloni, and she is from Italy. She enjoys drawing

and her favorite sport is volleyball. Anna says that

she really likes Melstone because everyone is so

nice, and she feels completely at home. A fun fact

about Anna is that she has taken a plane 146

times. Our final foreign exchange student is Ox-

ane, and she is from France. Her favorite sport is

basketball. Oxane says bas-

ketball is also her hobby.

When asked what she

thought about Melstone, she

said that she thinks Mel-

stone is great and she is

glad to be here. She has al-

ready had a lot of fun and

says the people of Melstone

are very nice. A fun fact

about Oxane is that she can

get lost anywhere she goes.

We hope all of these great

kids enjoy their stay in Mel-

stone!

Swimming Pool Update Submitted by Kathy

Eike After a rather cool, rainy June and a pool filled with a huge al-

gae bloom, the Melstone Community Swimming Pool finally opened on July 6. We were so happy to finally see the bottom of the pool through crystal clear blue water. The late opening made for a short swimming season, but the PE classes used the pool the first few weeks of school, so that made up for lost time. The pool missed out on a couple of fundraisers this year, which really hurt the bank balance. Our basketball night for concessions was can-celled, and we didn’t host any Monday Night Dinners. Also, the Splash Bash, which is typical-ly the biggest fundraiser, was poorly attended, and we grossed only $800. We had a bouncy castle set up at the park, but it was not the draw that karaoke is, so, next year we will be bringing back our all-time favorite entertain-ment, karaoke! A big thank you is extended to Kimber Korrell, our lifeguard, and to all of those who donated time and food throughout the year. In the end, the pool is a positive thing for the kids of the communi-ty. Always remember that the pool is a 501C-3, nonprofit, and all donated money is deductible.

Every Thursday pay a dollar to wear your hat in school!

Proceeds go to Melstone’s EMTs

New Faces By Abby Hansen

This returning school year, Melstone High School has three new faces walking through the halls.

These students are Kayla Kom-bol, Jack Roen, and Nathan Zard. Kayla Kombol is originally from Alaska and came to us from Roundup School. She is a fresh-man and is on the volleyball and cross country teams. Kayla’s fa-vorite sport is basketball, and her favorite subject is math. Be-coming a doctor is what Kayla would like to do after high school. Tyler Kombol, a new stu-

dent from last year, is her older brother. She thinks Melstone is “good” so far. Our next new face is actually not brand new to Melstone High School. Jack Roen has attended school with us in the past years but transitioned to homeschooling his freshman year. He is now back with us as a junior. Jack is originally from Miles City. His fa-vorite sport and hobby is riding dirt bikes with Gus Adams and many more of his various dirt bike buddies. Jack’s favorite hour in school is study hall, and he really likes lunch time. Jack does not have a plan for what he will be doing after high school. Last but not least, Nathan Zard is originally from Forsyth and came to us from Forsyth Public

School. He is a senior and plays football. Na-than’s favorite sport is baseball, and his fa-vorite subjects are math and P.E. His hobbies include hunt-ing, fishing, and camping. Nathan would like to hopefully play college football for Montana Tech after

high school. When asked what he thought about Melstone so far he said, “I like the school and the town’s pretty quiet.” We hope that all of our new faces enjoy Melstone High School and that the whole student body and staff makes them feel as welcome as possible.

Submitted by Abby Hansen

With summer over and school officially back in

session, FFA events are also back, and the stu-

dents are ready to start preparing for competi-

tions. Our first official competition of the year will

be the Nile Livestock and Ag Sales contest on Oc-

tober 15th.

The first item of business that the Melstone FFA

chapter took part in this year was the District

Leadership Conference in Colstrip. This annual FFA

event was held to give new students in FFA and

also returning members the chance to meet people

and learn more about FFA. All of the kids had a

good time in Colstrip, and many left with new

friends and a new outlook on the organization.

Since this summer had the officer team’s sched-ules filled, they did not have time to get an officer retreat in. Now they are planning to take the day September 21st to go over everything needed and also to just bond and have fun with one another. On behalf of the Melstone FFA officer team and the whole chapter, we thank you for your support and look forward to a wonderful year.

How to make homemade pizza:

1) Melt 1 1/2 ta-

blespoon of

baker yeast with

3 1/2 oz. of warm

water and 1 ta-

blespoon of sug-

ar. Add 1/2 cup of flour and mix all to-

gether. Cover with a cloth and let it rise

2) Make the dough: pour 3 1/2 cups of

flour and spread it on your kitchen ta-

ble. Put the yeasted dough you got from

step 1 in the middle and add from 5 to 8

oz of water (it depends from dough to

Super Troopers 2

By Harry Griswold

Super Troopers 2 came to

theaters on April 20th, 2018,

more than seventeen years

after its predecessor Super

Troopers. The movie intro-

duces its knuckle headed

characters in a way that

doesn’t break the flow of

the movie. With a produc-

tion budget of $13.5 million,

the movie has an impres-

sive array of actors, such as

Rob Lowe, comedian Jim

Gaffigan, and Fred Savage.

The cast is presented with an unusual task, and

they bring their Mustachio shenanigans along for

the ride. The movie is one hour and thirty-nine

minutes long. If you are already a fan of the

original movie, then this sequel is a definite

watch. If you like silly carefree movies give it a

go. If you ever wondered if police officers could

be really funny, then I suggest watching it. If

you are thinking of watching it and haven’t

watched the original, I would suggest watching

the original movie first because otherwise you

won’t understand the plot. To me personally this

is the only downfall of this movie. Cinema Score

rated this movie with a B+ based on an A to F

scale. Personally, I give it eight out of ten.

Runners at Your Mark By Ty Meredith

Cross country has started with the start of the new

school year, and the runners couldn’t be more ex-

cited. There are six cross country runners this

year, and they are fired up for the new season.

The junior high runners are Jhett Fish, Jack Fish,

Trey Meredith, Colby Thurston, Bryce DeJaegher,

and Morgan Schiffer. The high school runners are

Theo Sopko, Kayla Kombol, and Draya Wacker.

Both Cross Country teams are coached by Mrs.

Wacker. The junior high runners run anywhere

from 1.5 miles to 2 miles depending on the course,

and the high school runners run a long 5K Race

(3.1 miles). The season started at Amend Park in

Billings for the high school runners. Theo placed

110 out of 307 runners with a time of 21:14. Kayla

ran a 21:41 and placed 44, and Draya placed 77

with a time of 23:14. Then on Tuesday, the 4th of

September the cross country teams ran at Hunt-

ley. Theo ran a 20:37 and placed 8 out of 58 run-

ners; Kayla ran a 21:03 and placed 9 out of 56

runners, and Draya ran a 21:40 and placed 12 out

of 56 runners. For the junior high boy’s team, Col-

by ran a 10:15 and placed 22nd; Trey ran a 10:29

and placed 26th; Jhett ran a 12:08 and placed 68th;

Jack ran a 13:05 and placed 83rd, and Bryce ran a

15:08 and placed 94th. There were 104 boy runners

total. Morgan is the only girl on the cross country

team, and she ran an 11:09 and placed 26th out of

163 runners. The third meet was on Saturday the

8th of September at Red Lodge. The time are as

follows: Trey-11:45, Jhett-14:52, Jack-14:12,

Bryce-17:00, and Morgan-12:33. Theo was the

only high school runner to compete at Red Lodge.

He ran a 23:10 and placed 2nd out of 21 runners.

Ingomar Ranch Rodeo

Submission by “Linda Lou”

“I have been to a whole bunch of ranch rodeos,”

mused a spectator from Hardin, MT. Hanging out

at the crow’s nest, “and I never miss the Ingomar

Ranch Rodeo! I like it the best” A whole lot of folks

must have felt that way, as the number of gath-

ered spectators for this year’s Saturday and Sun-

day competitions, just about doubled the folks as-

sembled from the previous year. Folks came, they

saw, they laughed and cheered as Saturday’s La-

dies Ranch Teams, and Sunday’s Sanctioned

Ranch Rodeo crews delivered roping, riding, bronc

busting, cow-milking…and then some.

From the first rope thrown to the final bronco

bucked, the Ingomar Labor Day Ranch Rodeo was

a crowd pleaser. The announcer, Andrew Johnson,

knows the team members, ranching (he’s a cow-

hand himself), and how to get the crowd involved.

Famous quips for the day included, “Folks, it’s a

lot quieter out there right now

than it would be on the ranch”

The cook shack (honchoed by

Emily Olson, Mary Ellen Ryan, and

Helen Rath) sold out of about

everything but ice; the old timers

(Mel Kincheloe and Lavetta Weed-

ing) were plenty busy and accurate; stock contrac-

tors Pat Cremer, TJ Newman, and the 71 Ranch

delivered big time; while judges Bill Harding, Bill

Greenfield, and Rodney Vance kept a smooth run-

ning arena, truly on their toes at times, as they

dodged maverick longhorn cows that were circling

the fence.

“It’s pretty amazing that a town of 15, with a ro-

deo club of 7 delivers two rodeo competitions eve-

ry summer,” chuckled Ingomar Rodeo Club secre-

tary Alice Cameron, as she checked entrants in,

noted times, answered questions, kept up the

event board tally, wrote out participant checks,

and kept track of what was next. Things got busier

than expected during Saturdays evening’s Big

Loop roping event which had already been held

twice, when rodeo club director Donald John Cam-

eron (who could see that folks wanted to rope

some more), came up with a special event, re-

ferred to as a “Two head Progressive.” The unpre-

dictable kept the crowd on the edge of their seats.

The top team in the Women’s Rodeo on Saturday

went to the Gumbo Girls, Top Hand went to Mela-

nie Johnson, Top Horse to Jana Kelly, Top hand

went to Trevor Ross, and Top Horse went to Gillian

Severe.
