Summarize the following:
When you initially call the vet, they might advise flushing the area with cold water or applying ice. Icing the area regularly for 48 hours can help relieve pain and inflammation.  Applying ice is recommended for edemas and other forms of swelling due to an injury or infection.  Consult the vet if your horse doesn't show signs of improvement within 1 to 2 days. If it is possible to wrap the area, do so using a clean bandage that has been soaked in warm water and a generous amount of Epsom salt. Keep the wrap in place for 20 minutes. After you remove the wrap, dry the area thoroughly. The Epsom salt helps draw out the excess fluid in the area. Allergic reactions to bites are common and relatively easy to treat. Clean the area with a saline or iodine solution at least once a day, and remove any crusty or scaly deposits. Have the vet recommend a corticosteroid cream and apply it to the affected area as directed.  If the vet advises, keep the area bandaged. Change the dressing and apply ointment at least once a day, or according to the vet's instructions. To prevent bug bites, use an insect repellent labeled for horses. Spray it on all areas of your horse's body 2 to 3 times a day. Chronic progressive lymphedema (CPL) is a disease caused by lymph and circulatory system issues. Keep your horse clean and dry, especially its lower limbs, and blow-dry the lower limbs when they become wet. Ensure it gets daily exercise, which will help prevent fluid from building up in its lower limbs.  If your horse is heavily feathered (or has thick hair around its feet), keep it trimmed short. Symptoms of CPL include skin infections, skin thickening, edema, and abscesses that primarily affect the lower limbs. CPL is a chronic disease and is common in heavily feathered horses. It's more serious than insect bites or minor injuries, but proper management can prevent it from becoming severe.

summary: Apply ice for 10 to 15 minutes every 3 to 4 hours, if the vet approves. Wrap the area with a clean Epsom salt bandage. Clean the area and apply ointment for edemas caused by insect bites. Manage CPL with routine skin care and exercise.

Now comes the fun part. You and your fellow writers need to find stories to fill those pages! You can write about everything from a teacher's recent marriage and the choir going to state competition to new music coming out and the latest movie. You definitely want to focus on your school, but everything you write doesn't need to be exclusively about your school. To write stories about your school, you need to do interviews. If you're doing a feature on a teacher, you should ask them if you can do an interview. It might also be good to talk to people close to them. Make sure you take good notes. You may even want to record your interviews.  You can even use your smartphone to record interviews. Just remember to always get consent from the person before you record them. If you're writing an article about the school, get other students' opinions. Talk to as many people as you can to get quotes. Try asking around at lunch or after school. Even if you've interviewed people, you might still need to do some digging. For instance, you may want to know when a particular tournament was first held. You might need to dig through school records to find out more. Research takes time and effort, but it makes for better stories. Start by figuring out what's most important in your story. Look at who, what, when, where, why, and how, and decide which of those should come first. You'll need to cover all of these bases in your article, but certain parts should be given preference, depending on what's most important to the story.  Your first paragraph is called the lead. It should give readers the basic information, including what you decided was most important. Once you've established the major facts, you can provide supporting details in the following paragraphs. Active voice is when the subject of the sentence is doing the action. Active verbs are also important. Active verbs are ones that actually show action, such as "jump," "shout," and "cried," as opposed to being verbs, such as "are" and "is." For instance, "There are many reasons that she ate pie," is in passive voice. To switch to active voice, find the subject who's doing the action, "she" in this case, and switch the sentence around: "She ate pie for many reasons." Also, the main verb in the sentence is now an action verb instead of a being verb. Your major stories will have more impact if you can get a relevant photo. You can use either candid or staged shots. Pick whatever works best for the article, though candid shots can show more action. Don't forget to add captions for each photo, so the reader knows what it's about. The front page is what grabs people's attention. You want to have something relevant there. Pick something that's important to put there. You can also add stories that focus on recent or upcoming events, which most people are interested in. Once your stories are written up, they need to be edited. When editing, you want to look for things like grammar mistakes, of course. However, you also want to check that the story has good flow, the writing isn't too flowery or long (shorter sentences are usually better in journalism), and that the content makes sense.  Look for a good lead upfront that lets the reader know what's going on. Also, make sure the writer follows up with clear details.  Try letting a student edit them first, and then run them by your faculty sponsor. Don't forget to add a snazzy headline. Next, the newspaper needs to be laid out, meaning it needs to be put together into a cohesive whole. It can be a bit like a puzzle, making sure everything fits right. Sometimes you have to "jump" stories, meaning you need to continue them on another page. Also, don't forget to label the major sections, number the pages, add captions to photos, and put in headlines for articles. Once everything is edited and laid out, it's time to sent it to print. If you're distributing it electronically, that may just mean changing it to a better file format, such as converting it to a blog post for Blogger or even just a PDF. If you're printing it, print it out on your school's copy machine, and fold it up. Alternatively, send the file to the local printer. Once it's done, distribute it around the school. For print editions, you may want to have stacks of newspapers all around the school that kids can pick up.

summary: Hunt down stories. Talk to people. Do some digging. Write your stories. Use active voice and active verbs. Get photos with captions. Focus on the front page. Edit your stories. Hand the articles to layout. Print and distribute the paper.
