Head Lice Prevention

      This year there have been many accounts of head lice. Head lice is easy to prevent. There are many different ways to prevent yourself and others of getting head lice.

           Ways to prevent head lice is easy, first is don't share hairbrushes or hats. Girls, it may seem like a nice gesture to give your friend your hairbrush but it is one of the most common way to spread head lice. Even if you don't have they may not have it and could spread. Also giving away hair ties, now once again, it’s a simple nice gesture but don't give someone a used hair tie, or if you give someone a hair tie make sure you don't get it back. Hugging is also a way of getting head lice. When people go to hug one another (especially little kids) you put your heads together and head lice can jump and fly. In general, just avoid sharing any clothing item and hair products. Now just those won't always help there are some products that you can use to prevent the dreaded head lice. Some of these products include Lice Shield, Ladibugs (They usually sell them in kits of 3 steps), and Paul Mitchell Tea Tree Shampoo and Conditioner, Tea Tree Oils really help protect your head from head lice, just buy some tea tree oil and put it into your shampoo and conditioners, also put hairspray and gel in your hair too.

           So you are taking these precautions but yet you wonder "what are the signs of head lice?" Well, some of the signs of head lice are constant itching on the head, a feeling that there is something in your hair that is moving around. You may begin to get red bumps on your skin. Also not irritability and trouble sleeping at night.

           So you took all of these precautions and yet you still end up with head lice. There are many ways to take care of it. First you should go to the doctor. Usually they will prescribe you with lotions or special shampoos that will help get rid of the lice. Afterward you should comb out the nits (newly hatched lice). It will take about 7-10 days to get rid of any newly hatched nits.

           So there you go. Always be careful when sharing hair items and don't be afraid to take the extra mile when preventing head lice in your school and in your house.

How to Survive High School

If you follow this guideline you will have a great high school experience. This is not from any specific person but in the experiences that I’ve had and some friends I have asked.

1

  1.Respect Upperclassman!!! If you respect upperclassman now, you have a better chance of getting respect when you’re older. If you are in line for lunch anyone above your grade can cut you. When you are older you can do it to the people that are in the lower grades.

  2. Get Your Homework Done. Getting your homework done on time is important for your grades. The teachers don’t want to get behind on grading as much as you don’t want a bad grade.

  3. Be responsible. If you didn’t get your homework done or missed class, do the work. You have to go talk to the teacher, it’s not their job to track you down and give you the assignment.

  4. Don’t Argue. It’s not going to get you anywhere but in more trouble.  Arguing with teachers is like arguing with someone that you can never win against. They are in charge and you have to listen to them. That’s just how it is.

Montrose history: Trey and Kylie

Montrose use to have five general stores, two hardware stores, one millinery store, one harness shop, one meat market, three warehouses, one hotel, one lumber yard, two livery stable, two land loan offices, one flower mill, and one newspaper office. Montrose’s population was 200. Montrose now has one general store, one gas station, and one diner. Montrose’s population is 471. Montrose has grown in population but has shrunk in small town businesses. Seeing that this many businesses use to be here may be a surprise, but it doesn’t seem like it was a bad thing! We all know The Rock used to be a bank, and then another place to eat. Who knows, maybe next it can be a movie theater!
