Towards the end of winter break I began to come to a realization that I finally was ready for a tattoo.

Chuck’s Tattooing and Piercing was overall the best shop to go to and known to be the best in Lebanon. I couldn’t get the tattoo until my season ended with Winterguard, so I picked April 13th.

Every year, math teacher Carin Marzock allows her students to participate in Relay for Life, but this year the event really hits home for her on a personal level.

Marzock’s sister-in-law was diagnosed with breast cancer this school year, and has been undergoing chemotherapy treatment since her diagnosis.

“It’s just not something you expect for someone in their mid-thirties to be fighting,” said Marzock.

Luckily Marzock’s sister-i...
