I went to the Daily Interlake newspaper office to purchase a newsprint end-roll to use as craft material for YODA. For those who don’t know, end-rolls are about 1 yard in length and vary in width depending what paper is left after a ‘newspaper run.’ There is no newsprint on the end-roll, so it’s great for art projects at a reasonable cost. I was accompanied by Nate, a Pre-ETS student at Glacier High School, who is also interested in joining YODA. At the newspaper office, a lady led the two of us through a large room in which mostly young people were seated at computers working to assemble their next paper. We turned a corner and discovered multiple rolls leaned against a wall. We chose one for our project, paid for it, and I started to carry it. Nate looked at me and immediately asked, “Can I carry that for you?” This is a perfect example of how Nate is always looking for opportunities to help. I don’t know about you, but I’m thinking he’s heading for success! -Peter Pelchen, ILS, Kalispell
