Senior Hailey Olson said she agrees WHS should have a good season. “This season we had a slow start, but we are turning around, and coming together as a team has been really fun,” Olson said. “In our game on Tuesday, we probably played our best offensive game so far, and it was a good game for growth.

Tips for starting new year strong

Your beloved summer routine has come to an end with the start of a new school year this week. As a senior, I am a pro at this transition. To help you achieve this “pro” status, here are some essential things you need to figure out soon. First, you need to discover how many times you really can hit “snooze” before you have to wake up and start getting ready. For me, it’s about four or five. Decide if more sleep or more mirror time is important to you. Next, find the exact minute you need to leave your house so that you aren’t too early, Hear me. . . but you don’t get swept—that perfect “rolling in while the first Rachel Boer bell rings” time. I also recommend lifting weights to prepare those back muscles for all the books and papers you’ll be hauling around all year. So, now is the time to get used to having four periods done by the time you would normally wake up in the summer. Also, your stomach needs to understand that there is now a long day with only one lunch period—no more eating 10 small meals a day. Accept the fact that you will go to school all day, then come home to more school work. But worst of all is realizing that you can’t stay home with your dog (or for me, eight dogs!) and realizing your “best friend” has to survive without your company and constant food droppings all day. School also brings many good changes, like sporting events, seeing friends and increasing your knowledge. So make the most of this school year. Senior Rachel Boer is missing her puppies right now.

Tech helps truckers meet deadline By Patrick Kennedy Star Tribune (TNS) MINNEAPOLIS — About 1.7 million commercial truck drivers in the United States are mandated to install electronic logging devices, or ELDs, by Dec. 18. The problem is that many truckers aren’t even close to complying. C.H. Robinson has a vested interest in helping the truckers make the deadline. The Fortune 500 company, based in suburban Minneapolis, is one of the top logistics providers in the country and needs those truckers to get products to customers on time.

Technology Watch So the company has teamed with One20, a free membership community for professional drivers, to provide discounted equipment and training. The ELDs, mandated by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), will automatically record driving time and monitor engine hours, vehicle movement, miles driven and location information. The devices will make recording hours of service data easier — and hopefully more accurate — greatly reducing the need to manually record them in paper logbooks. Duane DeBruyne, an FMCSA spokesman, said the agency estimates the ELD mandate annually “will save 26 lives and prevent 562 injuries resulting from crashes involving large commercial motor vehicles.” The thought is that the electronic devices will make it harder to drive more than the mandated hours or miles, increasing commercial motor vehicle safety. The agency also thinks that reducing paperwork will help truckers comply with the hours-of-service rules.
