Corry to crack down on vaping in new year

Corry Area Middle-High School is looking to eliminate the use of e-cigarettes by students on campus, especially in bathrooms.

E-cigarettes are electronic devices that heat a liquid typically containing nicotine and produce an aerosol or a mix of small particles in the air, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The use of e-cigarettes is commonly referred to as “vaping.”

Corry Area School Board member Amy Allen brought up students vaping in bathrooms during a Nov. 22 school board meeting.

Allen was in attendance at the high school’s Pennsylvania Business Week and said she enjoyed the opportunity to speak with students and staff about concerns they had. 

“I heard there’s some issues of kids vaping in bathrooms. I had a couple teachers come up to me. Apparently they have done research about devices that can get put into restrooms that will alert us if kids are vaping in bathrooms and we can respond to it,” Allen said during the meeting. 

Corry Area School District Director of Buildings and Grounds Mike Munsee said they are aware of the problem and have also researched the so-called “vape detectors,” which operate similarly to a smoke detector but do not emit an audible sound. 

“Instead of it going off like a smoke detector, it alerts through the school network to a work station with somebody,” Munsee told The Corry Journal. 

If the device detects the use of e-cigarettes, then it will transmit a notification to school officials, such as a principal, who will investigate the situation. 

The school district has ordered vape detectors and plans to install them in every student-accessible bathroom in the middle-high school, according to Munsee.

“They are on order. I’m just waiting for them to come in,” Munsee said. “They work pretty well from what I understand.”

The use of e-cigarettes is prohibited on school…

‘Manteo’su00a0World’ is a treasure trove of information on how the first Americans lived in N.C.

Ben Steelman  |  StarNews Correspondent

We know pathetically little about the Cape Fear Indians, who inhabited the Wilmington area until the early 1700s. We’re not sure what they called themselves (possibly “Daw-Hee”) or what they spoke (probably a Siouan language, similar to the Plains Indians). 

A fair idea of how they lived, however, can be gleaned from “Manteo’s World: Native American Life in Carolina’s Sound Country Before and After the Lost Colony” by retired Old Dominion University anthropologist Helen C. Rountree.

Rountree writes about the Croatoans, the Roanokes and the other Algonquian-speaking peoples whom Sir Walter Raleigh’s expeditions encountered in and around Roanoke Island beginning in 1584.

We know rather more about them thanks to the accounts of explorers such as Thomas Hariot, John Lawson (who came along later, in the early 1700s) and particularly the many drawings by John White, the governor of what would come to be known as “the Lost Colony.”

Manteo, for those who forgot, was the young Croatoan man who traveled back to England with the first explorers and later became an interpreter and diplomat for the English settlers.

These first Americans lived a Stone Age existence. They had only small amounts of copper, acquired by trade, which they used mainly for jewelry. Nevertheless, they had a self-sufficient, mostly comfortable existence.

It wasn’t Eden. Women — who were expected to farm corn, beans and squash; root for tubers in the marshes; cook; tan hides; make baskets and perform other chores — often developed arthritis as early as their 30s.

Men hunted and fished. It was exhausting work, chasing wounded deer for miles, then lugging the carcasses for miles back to the village or camp. English visitors often saw men lying around between hunts — which, Rountree thinks, led…
