    Emergency ambulance services like those provided by Ringdahl face ongoing funding challenges in rural areas, prompting township officials to demand a permanent, statewide solution rather than year-to-year donations.

    While many blame the pandemic for isolating teens, data shows Gen Z's face-to-face time dropped a staggering 73% well before COVID-19. Author Jonathan Haidt argues this "Social Deprivation" was actually triggered by the rise of internet-connected phones, which act as a catalyst for four foundational harms currently impacting youth.

    Isaiah Ballard created this โ€œCharcoal Drawing of a Soldierโ€ because he had mainly worked in watercolor and acrylics and wanted to try his hand at charcoal. 
Ballard explained that the process is the opposite of what you would expect: you put down charcoal on a blank sheet of paper and use an eraser to create the work. 
โ€œIt took more than five hours total,โ€ Ballard said. โ€œI wanted to try it since it was something new.โ€ 
The freshman says he plans to work in culinary arts after he graduates, but will create artwork as a hobby.
