MILLERSBURG — After a year of giving themselves and representing Holmes County and the fair, royals Bryce Burgett and Lyndsey Davis are eagerly anticipating the arrival of this year's fair. King Burgett, 19, is the son of Dan and Jenny Burgett. He was nominated by the Nashville Jolly Farmers. Queen Davis, 17, is the daughter of Jerry and Lisa Davis. She was nominated by the Killbuck Handy Helpers 4-H Club. “I've been super busy traveling to other fairs and festivals,” said Davis, who said that…

Global warming is the continuing rise in the average temperature of the earth's atmosphere and oceans. Global warming is caused by increased concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, resulting from human activities such as deforestation and burning of fossil fuels. The increased temperature has effects on both humans and animals. There are many ways, which can allow people to continue living and to deal with climate changes. However, while humans are pretty good at adapting to…

The Graniteville train crash is one of the most deadly train crashes to occur since the 1970’s. On the evening of January 5th, 2005 a 12-car Norfolk Southern freight train P22 pulled into Avondale Mills textile plant. While doing this, the crew onboard hurriedly had to open a switch to allow their train to get onto a siding before the end of the hour, which they were required to stop working by law. However, the crew of train P22 as it was later found, did not return the switch to its original…

Plan B 4.0 states that, “(t)he Earth’s temperature is rising. It has gone up 0.6 degrees Celsius (1 degree Fahrenheit) since 1970, and it is projected to rise by up to 6 degrees Celsius (11 degrees Fahrenheit) by the end of this century” (Brown, L. 2009); climate change is a highly controversial topic which many individuals argue for and against its occurrence on the planet. The issue of climate change has become gradually more pressing and there has been numerous research done by highly…

harmful chemicals such as carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Releasing these dangerous chemicals into the atmosphere causes the ozone layer to gradually disintegrate. The ozone layer is a shield around the earth. This shield protects…

and Southern Poles show that CO2 levels began to rise higher than they have been in thousands (1,000s) of years during the onset of the Industrial Revolution, circa 1950. ("Climate Change: Vital Signs of the Planet: Evidence," 2016) Currently the atmosphere contents a CO2 level of around 400 ppm (part per million). This is in stark contrast to previous half million year average of between peak periods of 300 to lows of 170 ppm. ("Climate Change: Vital Signs of the Planet: Evidence," 2016) It…

Global Warming Global warming has become a major issue for us today. Global warming is an increase in temperature caused by many different natural and manmade reasons. Because of global warming, not only are humans affected, but also animals who struggle to survive and the plants who allow us to survive. Global warming is becoming a bigger risk for all of us each day. Even though there are many causes and effects, there are many ways to prevent global warming as well. Global warming has various…

this is a direct cause for global warming, and we should take this seriously, determining whether the apparent correlation is a causative relation between industry and temperature. For this, we are able to examine the composition of the Earth’s atmosphere going back 800,000 years by analyzing ice cores drilled in Greenland and Antarctica (Ferguson). By doing so, we can compare changes in global temperature and the levels of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, and take note whether there are…

The harmful chemicals put into the earth’s atmosphere are not only damaging the ozone layer, but they are also harming the air that humans, animals, and many other things in nature take in every single day. In an article by Jennifer Bergman titled “Air Pollution” she states that air pollution can range…

This is called retrograde rotation. It is said that this is because of their close position to the Sun. Appearing to be a nice golden color, the pictures we see of Venus is actually showing the clouds that are filled with sulfuric acid, making its atmosphere cloudy and dense. A year on Venus last 225 Earth days and a day lasts 243 Earth days. This means that it takes longer for Venus to spin on its axis, than it does for it to orbit the Sun. Another interesting thing about Venus is that its…
