In Finland the “Melting Ice Association” (an environmental group) led by Nicholas Prieto, is organizing the “Project Trumpmore.” This project is created to raise awareness about climate change. According to CBS News, the group “aims to raise about $500,000 to build a 115-foot monument dedicated to Mr. Trump.” This monument would be built on a glacier.

According to the New York Post “Trump has repeatedly called global warming a “hoax.” This has encouraged the group to illustrate climate change is real.

Nicolas Prieto said in a statement, “Often people only believe something when they see it with their own eyes.”

According to the New York Post, “construction would take a team of Finnish and Mongolian sculptors about four weeks to complete.” They are planning to live stream the monument to see how long before it melts.

Guest post by rising sophomore Sandra Thein, photos courtesy of Kelly Ryu and Emilie Kono I love those college YouTube videos: “2018 COLLEGE DECISION REACTIONS - IVY LEAGUE AND MORE!” The enthusiasm and gratitude the applicants radiate upon hearing where they will be spending the next four years of their lives is inspiring and motivating for a high school student like me.  I'm also inspired by students closer to home. Graduating senior Emilie Kono is a student athlete with a love for science and music. "Bo th in and outside of school," says Kono, "my family, friends, coaches, teachers and mentors have all been incredibly supportive in pushing me to reach my full potential; I can’t thank them enough! I knew that I wanted to be at an academically high achieving school and Stanford was an excellent choice. Between the incredible professors, facilities and some of the brightest students in the nation, I knew that I would be lucky to join them.” The only ...

By Faith Pauken, www.cardinaltimes.org staff member All photos by Faith Pauken Photojournalism is a form of journalism that provides images to aid in the telling of a story or news. Pictures contribute to the overall perception one may have about an article. By giving the reader a visual, they’re able to imagine what the event looked like, whether that’s showing what 100,000 people look like during a protest, or the face of an artist. During my journey through photography over the last year, I’ve been able to expand my knowledge on what makes a good photo, how to track people down and how to manage unexpected obstacles. Football/Sports Photography My personal favorite event to photograph for the last two years has been football. The fall sports season is packed with events having football easily be the most popular event on a Friday evening which makes it an important event to capture. If someone misses one game they feel like they missed out; this is where my job ...
