I definitely recommend years made Arthur switch the flip from a nice guy the movie to people who have not seen it! Go to a not so nice guy. Empire rates the Joker movie check it out! 5 stars out of 5! Arthur Fleck has a condition where he laughs uncontrollably and for no reason. His condition usually makes him laugh in situations Megan’s Dairy Moos by Megan Kupris If you decide to start showing your cow or heifer, you’re going to need to halter break them, which is not as hard as it seems if you do it correctly. Usually, when people start deciding if they want to show cows they will take a calf to start with so they can control them easier. The first step is to put your halter on the calf and just let the calf get used to the halter. Then, just tie the halter to a pole so it gets the feel of the halter. When you tie it to the pole it will start to trust the halter. Every day for 5 to 7 days, you should walk your calf daily and go a farther distance than you did the past days. While you’re walking your calf, be sure to remember to keep a calm composure and a quiet voice to assure your calf nothing is going to hurt or scare them. A major tip in halter breaking is as your calf steps forward to release the pressure off the lead rope, this will reward your calf for responding. Personally, I like to keep treats like salt cubes or alfalfa cubes (which are Pep- per’s favorite) just to reward them, and this will also make them want to follow you. If you do decide to use the treatment method, your cows will be sure to check your pockets every time you walk them just to see if to have any yummy treats. Halter breaking will not just make your calf docile and good for show, but it will build a strong relationship between the owner and calf. Good Luck!

The girls soccer seasons are ending. The girls varsity team had their 6th win against Owen D. Young Central School to clench a spot in sectional play. The girls team was 15 seed and faced Fabius Pompey on Tuesday, Oc- tober 22nd. They headed out with one sub, but the sub was injured and was not ready to play, so the game was played with no subs. At half time, Fabius had a lead and did not let down. The game was called because of the weather and field conditions with 26 minutes left in the second half. Unfortunately, the girls fell short and the season came to an end. A huge thank you goes out to all the seniors for their work through the years; you will all be greatly missed. The girls modified team is in a building year, struggling to come up with a win but they are having fun and working hard. Their season ends very soon.
