Blue Jaycorner
By Chloe SierksFounded in 1997, Netflix is
an on-demand provider of mov-ies and television shows for a monthly fee.
As of December 2015, Netf-lix had around 75 million sub-scribers worldwide. The major-ity of these subscribers stream movies and tv shows directly to their electronic devices us-ing the Netflix app, which al-lows its users to select movies or tv shows from a limited list. Although the app doesn’t offer every movie or tv show ever made like the company’s nor-mal DVD-by-mail program, it has quite the wide selection that is pleasing to the subscribers.
In the past three years, Netf-lix's popularity has skyrocketed not only in the amount of sub-scribers but also throughout so-cial media. Over the past year, I have seen many posts on all the popular social media websites that have pertained to Netflix in some way. However, the most popular topic that seems to arise from these users is the concern of having an addiction to Netf-lix. Is this claim an actual con-cern for Netflix subscribers, or is the situation being exagger-ated?
Addiction is a state character-ized by compulsive engagement in rewarding stimuli, despite adverse consequences. It can be thought of as a disease or bio-logical process leading to such behaviors.
In 2015, it was discovered that Netflix users had watched 42.5 billion hours worth of stream-ing, and 61% of those users
spent their time binge-watching television shows. The conse-quences for watching Netflix for this many hours are not as detrimental as other conse-quences brought on by more common addictions. It may, however, cause extreme lazi-ness and procrastination as well as headaches from staring at the electronic screen for longs peri-ods of time.
Even though these conse-quences probably won’t cause Netflix’s viewers long-term harm, it is imperative for each individual to recognize when he or she just needs to turn off Netflix and walk away. Sadly, it is just not that easy. When I’m deep in a binge-watching ses-sion, I usually can find a mil-lion excuses to watch just one more episode. Before I know it, one episode has turned into five, and I’m stuck wondering where the day went. Many of my fellow Netflix users know this feeling all too well. Even though this habit has caused me to prioritize incorrectly and made me lose some sleep, I’m not actually concerned that I have an addiction to Netflix or will ever develop one. Becom-ing aware of the hours I have spent on Netflix, however, has helped me watch less and less each day.
So, is Netflix addiction a great concern for our society? I per-sonally do not think so. I think it is up to the individual to pri-oritize his or her’s own time and decide how important watch-ing seven straight episodes of “Grey's Anatomy” really is.
Netflix Addiction: An Exaggeration or a Real Problem?

Election 2016As the Presidential debates continue and we are aware of the activ-ity so nearby surrounding the Iowa Caucus, members of the RPHS Mass Media class (which studies journalism in addition to produc-ing Blue Jay Corner and the yearbook) weighed in on their current leanings. Of course, most of the students in the class will not be eligible to vote this fall and many admitted they were not very well-informed, but the following graph shows how the election would turn out if it was up to this small sample of RPHS students.

Snowmaggedon...Blizzard 2016By Amy Skillen
By the time this paper is in the hands of its readers, we will know: Did the huge blizzard of the first week of February, 2016 hit, or was all the hype for noth-ing?
The last few days of school in January saw students constantly checking their weather apps and teachers entering contests about how much snow would actually fall.
Teachers also struggled to create lesson plans for Febru-ary 1-5. Why plan for a day of school when the meteorologists were most certainly promising at least one snow day, if not a snow week? We had to decide
whether to plan normally or switch things up to give us more flexibility than usual.
By Sunday, the forecast had changed from snow to rain, at least according to some sourc-es. Here are some guesses by students as of Friday, January 29, how many inches of snow we would get by February 3:Jade Lemmon - 5”Dayle Davis - 7.75”Montana Martin - 4.5”Payton Schomburg - 7.5”Erika Dietze - 1.5”Kaleigh Farmer - 3”Chloe Sierks - 5”Hannah Miller - 7.5”McKenna Barnhart - 6.5”

On January 27, Rock Port FCCLA sent six members and two chaperones to the regional STAR event competition at Northwest Missouri State Uni-versity.
STAR Events, which stands for students taking action with recognition, are competitive events in which members are recognized for proficiency and achievement in chapter and in-dividual projects, leadership skills, and career preparation. The students who were not par-ticipating in STAR Events were student-evaluator and timers where they got to experience all the aspects of STAR Events firsthand.
This year, the Rock Port FC-CLA chapter had one group par-ticipate in STAR Events. Paityn Alberti, Dayle Davis, and Chloe Sierks presented their project “Like A Diamond in the Sky,” in the category Illustrated Talk.
FCCLA advances three members to StateBy Chloe Sierks
Their project raised awareness about the growing concern of foster care in our community, state, and nation. The girls held a book and clothing drive, which brought in 12 trash bags full of clothes and 329 books to take to the Foster Care Closet in Omaha, they decorated pil-lowcases for the Foster Care Closet in Lincoln, and they held informative meetings for stu-dents enrolled in FACS classes at RPHS.
Dayle, Paityn, and Chloe had to give their presentation to three judges, consisting of two advisors and one student-eval-uator. Despite their heightened nerves, the girls gave an excel-lent presentation receiving a 97 percent and advancing them to the state competition. State FC-CLA will be held at Tan-Tar-A in March. Congratulations girls and good luck at the state com-petition!
