NHHS graduate comes back home as a police officer

9/30/2017

 
By: Callie Weatherly

Laura Creech started out just like us, a New Haven student with big dreams. She graduated from our high school in 2013 and continued her education at East Central College the following year. Later, Mrs. Creech transferred to Mineral Area Police Academy. Recently this year, she became Officer Laura Creech with the New Haven Police Department.

Mrs. Creech has known she wanted to be an officer since grade school. According to her, her family has a history with this career, which is one of the many things that has influenced her career choice. This yearning to help people stuck with Mrs. Creech throughout high school and into college.

Mrs. Creech informed me that during her police academy experience, she did a lot of physical training. One thing she did that most people found interesting was that they used tasers-- sometimes even on the students, but don’t worry. It wasn’t long enough to really hurt you.

As an officer, Mrs. Creech gets to work with some amazing colleagues, some of which were here when she was a child.

Some might think this would make working awkward, however, Mrs. Creech stated, “This makes it more comfortable; they already know the town and they already know the people.”

Mrs. Creech doesn’t plan on staying as an officer forever though. She says she would love to be a detective or a crime scene investigator.

When it comes to all the police shootings and hate crimes we all see on the news, Mrs. Creech says that has made her a little wary about becoming a police officer. However, Mrs. Creech’s desire to help everyone, especially children, allowed her to continue her pursuit of becoming an officer.

For anyone wanting to follow the same, or similar, career path, Mrs. Creech says, “Stay in school, gain as much knowledge as possible! Don’t be afraid to ask questions, because in this field there are always questions to be asked. If you don’t know for sure if this is right for you, then seek out an officer and ask or join the explorer’s program.”

You can see that Officer Laura Creech is very dedicated to helping her hometown be a better, and safer place. She has overcome her fears and setbacks so that she could become an officer.

Welcome back, Officer Laura!

This free family event will help visitors take their outdoor adventures to the next level.​

KIRKWOOD, Mo.--The Missouri Department of Conservation’s (MDC) Powder Valley Nature Center is hosting a program that will empower visitors with new skills to discover nature in a safe responsible way.  Into the Woods is free family event being held at the nature center Saturday, Oct. 14 from 10 a.m.-3 p.m.

“It’s all about helping people to discover nature with confidence so they can have more adventures outdoors,” said MDC Naturalist Rebecca Rodriguez. 

Educational stations at the event will feature opportunities for participants to learn how to identify poisonous plants and venomous animals they could encounter in nature, and tips on preventing potential problems.  Visitors will also discover ingenious ways to start a fire, including flint striking techniques to using transistor batteries and steel wool.  Skills for navigating the outdoors will be demonstrated using both traditional compass and modern GPS units, along with fun geocaching exercises.

Other stations will demonstrate useful outdoor skills like identifying trees, and what and how to pack a backpack for a safe hike in the woods.

Partners from local police and fire departments will be on hand with outdoor safety information. Local search and rescue organization, Tri-SAR, will give presentations at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. on what children should do if they find themselves lost in the woods.

“All ages are invited and there’s something for everyone at this event, including the very young ones,” Rodriguez said.

One attraction will be Powder Valley’s popular mud pile, which offers kids a chance to get dirty and have some back-to-nature fun.  It provides a safe space for young children to play in the mud and dirt, while parents can learn about the many benefits of unstructured play and re-connecting children with the natural world.  Bringing towels and a change of clothes is recommended.

Into the Woods requires no reservations to attend.  Powder Valley Conservation nature Center is located in Kirkwood at 11715 Cragwold Road, near the intersection of I-270 and I-44.  For more information, call 314-301-1500.  To discover more free MDC events, go to https://goo.gl/VFvW6T.

New Haven receives a new teacher

9/29/2017

 
By: Lexi Oetterer
​                                                                   

Molly Munsinger is a new teacher in the high school resource room. Ms. Munsinger graduated from New Haven High school two years ago and graduated from East Central College with an Associate of Arts degree in Education. She is still continuing to work on her Bachelor's degree at Central Methodist University in Early Childhood Special Education by taking online and evening classes. Ms. Munsinger is the daughter of Diane and Joe Munsinger. She also has a sister, Makenzie, that is currently a junior at New Haven.

“Although my degree is in Early Childhood Special Education, I have really enjoyed working with high school-aged students,” said Ms. Munsinger. “I have definitely become more open-minded to expanding my degree of study.”

She was asked what made her want to become a teacher, and she replied with, “Growing up, my mom was the owner of a preschool. I spent many late nights helping her set up classrooms and work on lesson plans. She inspired me to want to help children. The excitement she displays about her job is one that I can only hope to have too.”

Next, she was asked what made her want to teach at New Haven, and she said, “While attending New Haven from kindergarten to my senior year, I was blessed with many wonderful teachers who left tremendous impacts on my life. I only hope that I too can impact student lives at New Haven in the same positive ways my life was impacted.”

When questioned about how she feels teaching at the same high school she graduated from, she answered, “Only being graduated from New Haven for two years has been interesting and exciting to see all the new changes within the school.”

“I have enjoyed my time teaching at New Haven so far,” commented Ms. Munsinger.  “I have received a lot of support from staff members and they have done a great job of making me feel welcomed.”

When asked what her future plans include, she said, “Right now I plan to go into Early Childhood Special Education after being in the high school for a short time. I've discovered I love that atmosphere as well and wouldn't be opposed to teaching middle or high school special ed as well.”

Congratulations, Ms. Munsinger, on all your accomplishments, and keep working hard toward all your goals.

Chief Sheible retires after 21 years

9/28/2017

 
By: Kamryn Poe

John Wayne Sheible, the previous police chief of New Haven, retired this spring. He had been the New Haven chief since January 8, 1996, when he was asked to run by citizens in 1995.

He graduated New Haven High School in 1966 and went on to attend CMU, Central Methodist College, and finished with a Bachelor's degree in Biology and minors in Chemistry and Psychology. In 1969, he married his wife, Janet, who has been with him ever since. In September of 1970, he joined the Air Force and was trained as a Weather Equipment Repairman. He left the Air Force in 1974.

That summer, he was laid off his first job-- the economy was going through a recession, so finding a job was hard. John Wayne said that he was helping Ron Willimann put a roof on the old Pepsi building when Ernie Alexander, the chief of the newly formed New Haven Police Department, told him they were looking for an officer for the department. Ron convinced John to take the job and he started right away.

Mr. Sheible then attended the Tri-County Academy, where he was trained for 640 hours. He graduated #1 in his class.

In 1978, however, he left the police department for a job with Shelter Insurance-- having a young family, he couldn’t survive on the money he was being paid. He did remain on the Franklin County Sheriff’s Reserve for another five years.

In 1995, he was contacted and asked to consider the position of the Chief of Police in New Haven when the current chief was resigning.  On January 8, 1996, he was hired and started working as the new Chief of Police.

John said that he “initially chose to become a police officer because I needed a job, and at 27 years old, it sounded pretty exciting.  What other job lets you carry a gun, drive fast and arrest bad guys!”

He was asked why he came back to the New Haven community. He responded, “In 1996, at 45 years of age, I came back because of several things.  I felt the department was a wreck and that I could change it back to what it had been when I was there before.  The department seemed to be ‘apart’ from the community, and I was determined that it would become ‘a part of the community’ again.  I also still liked carrying a gun, driving fast and arresting bad guys.”

“Serving as chief was difficult on many occasions.  Heartbreaking on many occasions.  Extremely exciting on many occasions.  Above all the most fulfilling career I could have ever imagined.”

What does Chief Sheible do now that he is retired?

“Whatever I feel like doing!  Chasing grandkids around in all of their sports programs is fun and takes quite a bit of my time.  Also, I plan on doing more traveling around the country.”

Chief Sheible also stated how he feels about the new changes to the New Haven Police Department: “I only come into town once or twice a week and I have made it a point to stay away from the PD and City Hall, so, I don't have a lot of info on what the PD is doing right now.  I do believe the change that has been made in the command structure is a good thing.  Dan and I tried many different ways to allow 12 hour shifts.  With the manpower we had and the command structure, we could not make it work.  With the replacement of the Assistant Chief position with two sergeants, he can run two squads of three officers and 12 hour shift will work.  Dan deserves credit for that.”

John Wayne Sheible has been a huge part of our local community, and he will not be forgotten for all the contributions he made. On behalf of the community, I would like to thank Mr. Sheible for his service to our community.

Cheerleaders sell cotton candy at the Balloon Glow in New Haven

9/27/2017

 
By: Diana Ribera

On September 22 and 23, the New Haven cheerleaders sold cotton candy at the Ballon Glow and Balloon Race to fundraise for new items for this year’s cheerleading season. With the money they raise, the cheerleaders will be buying new jackets, shoes, socks, bows, and will pay for any repairs they need to their uniforms.

The cheerleaders were asked about how they felt when they were selling cotton candy.

Elsie McNabb, junior, answered with, “It felt good when I sold cotton candy. I felt like people really enjoyed it.”

Bernabe Ribera, sophomore, said, “It was fun because I was with my team. It was slightly tiring since we were out in the sun and heat.”

Lexi Oetterer, junior, said, “I thought it was a fun experience to be able to work together as a team.”

Megan Boehmer, junior, said, “I felt really good. It felt good to give back to the community.”

While working the stand, many of the cheerleaders had different jobs that they worked. Some would bag the cotton candy, hang the bags, or work with the money. They would switch it up so they could work different stations.

Everyone had their favorite moments while working those two days. Lexi was questioned what her favorite moment was, and she replied with, “My favorite part was being able to work together as a team, and being able to joke around and have fun while working.”

Bernabe answered by saying, “My favorite moment was being able to walk around selling cotton candy because I was able to express my advertising side while selling cotton candy.”

Megan said, “Being with the team and just having fun and selling cotton candy!”

All the cheerleaders were asked if they wanted to add anything and Elsie said, “Being part of a team is a great feeling.”

Bernabe added, “I’m excited for being the first male cheerleader for New Haven High School. Especially since they have never had one before and I’m the first one in history for the school.”

Audrey Ford exchanges to new school in Austria

9/26/2017

 
By: Grace Soete

Audrey Ford is a junior, who is also a foreign exchange student in Austria this year. She left in early August and will be there for a full year. While overseas, she will be staying with three different host families and attending
BRG Borg Kirchdorf High School.


When Audrey left America, she reported, “About three months before I left, I was extremely excited, and could think about nothing else. When it came to the night before I had to leave, I could do nothing but cry, cry, and cry a little bit more. I had come to the realization of everything I’d be leaving behind, and the memories that I would miss being able to make. I would miss my brother’s senior year of high school, my sister’s first day of school, and I would be leaving my boyfriend.”

When asked what she was looking forward to the most, she responded, “I was looking forward to being able to make friends around the world, and be able to come home and describe myself as a bilingual person.”

When asked if Austria is anything like she expected, she answered, “Yes and no. It is exactly what I expected in terms of traveling, and making friends from other countries. No, as in homesickness hit me really hard when I first came here, which surprised me beyond belief.”

Attempting to explain how Austria is different than America, she explained, “I can absolutely write without hesitation, that I hate the fact that ice itself is non-existent in Austria. I can also say that I love how no matter where you are in Austria, there’s always a beautiful sight to take a picture of.”

Now that she has been out of the country for a little over a month, her feelings have changed.  “I feel that every day becomes a little easier. Everyone has different strategies to get through an exchange. Mine just happens to be, to take it one day at a time.”

She continued, “I’ve been hiking with all of my host families, as I will have three this year, and also went on a vigorous hike to the peak of a mountain with other exchange students. I’ve also been shopping in major cities across Austria.”

Her favorite things in Austria include, “My favorite thing about Austria would have to be the food. They’ve even dominated the all-American cheeseburger and fries. Though, their schnitzel does work wonders.”

The Marching Shamrocks prepare for the upcoming season

9/25/2017

 
By: Lydia Otten
​

You can hear Grace Allgaier and Casey Jo Baker blowing their whistle at 7 o’clock in the morning every school day preparing for their marching season.

September 15th was the preview parade for New Haven High School.  There was a lot of preparation going on for the New Haven High School and Middle School marchers. Every morning at 7 o’clock, you could hear them marching and strengthening their abilities.

When asked if there are any nerves this season, sophomore Johnna Bloch said, “I am somewhat nervous because being a Shamrockette is different, and there are a lot of people watching you.”

Many of the Marching Shamrocks said they are excited for the Mizzou homecoming and all of the marching band competitions.

Mrs. Koch, the director of the Marching Shamrocks, said, “The Marching Shamrocks are off to a very strong start and continue to improve every day. This season will be very strong!”

In marching band season, or any other sports season, you have that one thing you look forward to.

When Sarah McKernan, senior, was asked what she is looking forward to this season she said, “The parades-- it's so fun to march through the streets with everybody.”

A freshman, Ellie Westermeyer, responded with, “I am looking forward to being with people I didn’t know.”

Mrs. Koch addressed whether or not she had any concerns for the season: “I have no doubt that our students will perform to the best of their ability and represent us well all season.”

Mrs. Koch is looking forward to the season and so is the rest of the Marching Shamrocks!

The New Haven staff and students reflect on the event of 9/11

9/24/2017

 
By: Lacie Grater

The September 11th attacks left many people devastated with the loss of family and friends, taking almost 3,000 lives. A total of four planes were hijacked that day, two of which were flown straight into the Twin Towers, one hitting the Pentagon just right outside of Washington D.C., and the final one crashing into a field in Pennsylvania.

Many students weren’t born or old enough to remember this tragic event, but in asking the question, “how do you think you would react if you were old enough to remember this day?”, this is what the students had to say.

Lauren Gerlemann, senior, stated, “I think I would have more feelings for these people. I feel for them now, but I would feel more if I could recall the events of that day.”

Julia McIntyre, junior, said, “I would probably fear future terrorist attacks. I would have been extremely devastated and sad the day the event occurred. I would have been worried about our country.”

Kallie Stubblefield, senior, said, “I think I would have felt more somber on 9/11 of this year if I was old enough to remember the day.”

However, when the question was asked, “did this impact your life in any way?”, two students had something to say.

Elizabeth Hughes, senior, stated, “Yes, my aunt was in the Air Force at the time and was on standby to go up to New York.”

Olivia Williams, junior, said, “9/11 was a scary event for my family. My grandpa was traveling for a business trip. When the attacks happened, everything was so chaotic and confusing. No one knew if my grandpa was flying or anything. Since cell phones weren’t as popular as they are now, we couldn’t get a hold of him. We later found out that he hadn’t been flying and he was in Ohio until he could get home.”

All teachers could remember this day, most being in elementary or middle school. They were at school or working when this event occurred, and some reflected below about what had happened.

Ms. McCroskey mentioned, “On September 11th that year, I was in elementary school, quite oblivious to what was happening around me.  But I noticed things were strange-- the teachers were acting oddly, the school was quiet.  And I remember my friend, Heather, explaining what had happened in the cubby room the next day-- explaining things very simply but enthusiastically in her 9-year-old way. I was very young, so I didn't understand.  But in years since, the footage obviously rocks me to my core.”

Aaron Peirick said, “I was attending 6th grade at New Haven Elementary. I found out when I got home from school. It was really too big of an event and it happened too far away from me for me to understand how big it was. I just wanted to go outside and play basketball with my friends.”

Doug Peirick stated that he was “working at Seitter's putting the ad into the computer system. At first I was in shock that it happened at all.  Then I had a lot of different feelings going on as the day continued.  I was saddened by all the life that was lost and I was also mad at those that caused this senseless tragic event.”

Not everybody might have been born or old enough to remember this event, but it is still a day to always look back on and remember.

New Haven track shed under construction

9/23/2017

 
By: Alex Trentmann

At the New Haven High School track, there is currently a shed under construction. The work on the shed continued this past weekend on Saturday, September 16th.

Mr. Hoener was asked how long he thinks the shed will take to be completed now and responded with, “I don’t see us finishing until spring, but it should be functional before the track and field season starts.”

A few staff members and administrators were asked what the shed will be used for and what the ideas are for it. Mr. Steinhoff answered, “There will be bathrooms, but the main purpose of the building is obviously for storage.  Of course, that would include all of the track equipment such as the pole vault pit, the high jump pit, hurdles, and the equipment that is used for field events.  However, we also intend to store equipment for all of our outdoor activities in there.  This would include some baseball and softball equipment, pitching machines, and supplies for our cross country meet. The building has also been designed so that we can run concessions out of it and also time our meets from it rather than having to set up outside.”

Mr. Hoener addressed the costs so far by commenting, “So far an estimation would be $30,000. The funds have come from money leftover from the track fundraiser and from donations, so none of the money is coming from the district.”

Staff members were next asked about their feelings about the shed, and Mr. Tucker responded with, “I think it’s great.  I would like to thank the workers and contractors for working on the shed for free and giving up their free time to work on the shed.”

The last question that was given to the staff members was if there are any other projects in mind, and Mr. Hoener said, “A sidewalk along the north side of school would be next if the school board allows it.”

Thank you to those who are working on the shed in your own free time. We are all excited to see what this shed has in store for our school and our athletic programs.  

Honor Flight hosts benefit BBQ

9/22/2017

 
By: Olivia Williams

The Boeuf & Berger Mutual Insurance Company is hosting the Franklin County Honor Flight BBQ. The BBQ is being held at the New Haven Save-a-Lot parking lot on September 29th, beginning at 10:30 A.M.

The Honor Flight BBQ benefits and raises money for the Franklin County Honor Flight. This event benefits war veterans that have served our country. This flight travels to Washington D.C. and tours various war memorials and monuments for the day. The veterans visit the World War II Memorial, the Vietnam War Memorial, Korean War Memorial, Arlington National Cemetery, and the Air Force Memorial.

JoAnn Kuschel, who is employed at Boeuf & Berger Mutual Insurance Company and is involved in helping with the Franklin County Honor Flight barbeque, stated, “This year alone, Honor Flight group is sending between 210-215 veterans. Our hope is to be able to give back as much as possible from the proceeds of this event. We will match the proceeds. Travel cost for each flight ranges from $18,000 to $20,000.”

The veterans leave for their Honor Flight trip on Saturday, September 23rd. In addition to this trip, the Franklin County Honor Flight also has more flights scheduled.

Terry Sullentrup, President of the Franklin County Honor Flight, stated, “We have an additional two trips scheduled for next month and they will be on Saturday, the 21st and 28th of October. The October 28th trip will be our 10th Anniversary Trip. We took our first trip on November 3rd, 2007, with seven WWII veterans and three founding members (Jim Tayon, Larry Davis, and Dave Hall-- all of Union, MO).”

There are many reasons why Honor Flight is held free of charge for the veterans who have served our country. JoAnn Kuschel said, “Freedom isn’t free, many have given their all and we want to make a dream come true for more veterans to see the memorials in Washington D.C.”

JoAnn Kuschel also said, “Going to Washington to see how they are honored helps to give closure to veterans’ trauma.  After World War II, Vietnam, and the Korean War, our veterans weren’t treated well.  They deserved better.  Hopefully seeing the beautiful memorials to them will take away the painful memories.”
​

The barbeque will be held on September 29th at 10 A.M. at Save-A-Lot’s parking lot. All proceeds will go to paying for the airfare fees to fly to Washington D.C.

Coach Aaron Peirick transfers from track and field coach to baseball coach

9/18/2017

 
By: Kenzie Bauer    
​

In 2017, the New Haven girls track and field team won the second team state championship in school history. Coaches John Tucker, Mike Hagedorn, Josh Hoener, Aaron Peirick, and Jake Witthaus are the ones who pushed these girls every day to do their best and the ones who led them to this state championship.

However, the 2017 coaching staff is going to be one coach short this year. Coach Aaron Peirick is leaving the track and field team after four years and is now going to help his high school best friend and former teammate, Coach Jordan Willimann, coach the boys baseball team this spring. These two coaches together won the only baseball state championship in 2007.

When asked about how he felt leaving track and field and what impact this transfer would have on both teams, Coach Peirick said, “I enjoyed coaching track and working with the coaches and athletes every day. I learned a lot in those 4 years and had a lot of fun too. It’s not like I was looking for a reason to leave. As a school-wide coaching staff member, this is just what we needed right now.”

He continued: “The thing that I dislike the most about leaving track is that I feel like I formed some pretty strong relationships, both with the other track coaches and track athletes at the middle school and high school levels. I’m not super excited about leaving those relationships, but it’s also not like I won’t still see those people most days. I’m not going to lie though, having those first few weekends in May opened up is kind of cool.”

Coach Peirick also stated, “I think that track will keep on steam-rolling straight ahead like they have been for the last few years. The coaches and athletes on that team are too good to let something like this bother them. The biggest hole I leave for them is that they don’t have their walking sunscreen dispenser anymore. So they’re going to have to figure that out.”

“I hope my impact on joining the baseball team is positive,” explains Coach Peirick. “I think that what I’m lacking in baseball coaching experience I can make up for with energy and enthusiasm. I just plan on doing whatever Coach Willimann needs me to do and fill in the gaps. I really plan on learning a lot this first year. I don’t even know what I don’t know right now. I was lucky enough to play for Coach Scheer in high school, so I have a solid background in what baseball fundamentals look like and how the game should be played. I think that I remember enough Coach Scheer one-liners that I can at least sound like I know what I’m doing. Hopefully I can teach those guys a few things and be good enough help that Coach Willimann keeps me around for a while.”

Coach Aaron Peirick left impacts on the track and field athletes that he coached and will be missed by them and all of the coaches. Now, the new question arising is if anyone will be taking Coach Peirick’s position on this team.
