Four video produc-tion students have won an award at the Business Professionals of Ameri-ca regional competition. Juniors Austin Hull, Weston Durland, Ste-ven Davenport, and sophomore Mackenzie John won first place with their video on bul-lying during the Video Production Team com-petition on Jan. 15 at College of Western Idaho, Boise Campus. They won by one point. “I think it’s really exciting because the competition that it was, video production, I think Capital does some of the best in the state,” said business teacher Dr. Debbie Brumley. Durland was direc-tor, producer, video edi-tor, and actor. Hull was

the sound technician and actor. Davenport was the regulation “au-thenticator” and actor. John was the “univer-sal worker” and actor. Durland worked day and night editing and rendering the video dur-ing the last week be-fore the competition. “It was a night-mare. Actually, there were no nightmares because I didn’t sleep,” Durland said. “It was really stress-ful at the end. A lot of emotional sup-port for Weston,” Davenport chuckled. “The thing was that it was so chaotic that we didn’t have time to work much as a team and that’s something we really regret,” Durland said. “We were docked many points for the fact that we needed a presen-tation,” Davenport said.

“I had to make it all up impromp-tu,” Durland said. “He handled the release forms,” said Durland re-ferring to Davenport. Many other actors in-volved in the film were from Mountain View High. Zach Bjorklund, a junior at Lewiston High School, helped with the soundtrack of the film about stopping bullying. They used the video equipment from Capi-tal, special effects were added and both Macs

and PC’s were involved. “It was actually re-ally good,” Durland said. “We did it in like the best quality we could. It was full HD.” For the state level of this competition, the Capital team is redoing the entire production for judging on Mar. 8 at the Grove and Boise State University. The second place team, Meridian Academy, is now help-ing the Capital team in getting ready for the state competition.

Video Broadcasting is responsible for the KCHS morning an-nouncements. It is an award-winning Pro-fessional Technical Education program. The class is taught by Rob Parsons who has taught it for 13 years. The program is very prestigious with nu-merous national and state awards including JEA awards for Best of Show and other high honors for the daily broadcast, podcasts,

PSA’s and broadcast packages they’ve pro-duced. They were also awarded the “exem-plary” secondary PTE program for the State of Idaho in 2010. Parsons was also honored with the 2009 Outstanding PTE teacher award. “It takes an excep-tional group of stu-dents to do what we do on a daily basis. They have to work well as a team and be very pro-ficient with sophisti-cated equipment and software. They are very motivated and goal-oriented and care about the product they

produce,” said Parsons. Junior Weston Dur-land is a familiar face of the morning an-nouncements and can often be seen as an an-chorman, weatherman, or behind the scenes manning the camera.“Video broadcasting, it is hard to decide whether it’s easy or hard. Video Broadcasting is unique and everyone does what they have to do deliver a quality show, some-times a breeze and other times it can be a night-mare,” said Durland. “We spend a lot of ex-tra time at events like the Nike Nationalists

and do live broadcasts for other awareness pro-grams,” said Durland. “Everyone gets the chance to do every task. We cycle through cam-eras, audio, producer, and anchor. There also two times you will get a week off to create pack-ages (videos) for the show,” said Durland.“Our program here at Capital is a very special and unique one. I am not aware of any other school that can offer anything in compari-son. Years upon years of tradition and work have gone into the pro-grams. Mr. P is one

heck of a guy, so I per-sonally am honored to be part of Video Broad-casting,” said Durland. Senior Isiah Walker said he joined video broad-casting because, “Mr. Parsons is a really great teacher and anchoring seemed like a fun job.” “It is a great first pe-riod to have and it is a fun class.” said Walker. “They are pretty in-teresting people and they’re really fun to be around.” Walker said about his fellow staff. “I would highly rec-ommend people take it. It is a really fun class.” said Walker.

Health Occ. dissects the medical fields

DECA and marketing class go hand in hand

Katie AckermanSTAFF WRITER

Dissections, drawings, and playing with spa-ghetti, are just some ac-tivities you might find if you walk into Melodee Sather’s Introduction to Health Professions class. This class is meant give students a preview of different medical fields before entering college. Junior Kourtney Giles took the class last year, and calls it “health on steroids.” Doing dissections was sophomore Kyrie Brous-sard’s favorite part of first semester. Some past dis-sections have included animal hearts, eyes and bones. Broussard is inter-ested in entering the medi-cal field as a radiologist or a physical therapist. Sather has speakers from different health professions come into

class and talk about their job and education. Sophomore Ted Han-son said “Health Occ. is my favorite class.” Several field trips are part of this class. Last semester they went, “to a bunch of hospitals as well as the Life Flight Center,” said Hanson. This semester the class will go to the Dennis Tech-nical Center to see what the class Clinical Health Professions 2 has to offer. Health Professions of-fers a wide variety of students the opportunity to learn about different realms of the health field and get inspired to con-tinue into the health field.

DECA is a fast paced class associated with Mar-keting students who are excited to obtain skills in entrepreneurship, financ-ing, and management and are currently working hard to succeed in State and National competition. Marketing teacher and DECA advisor, Sandy Wold feels strongly about the skills pro-vided to the students. “You have to have taken or currently take Mar-keting to be involved

in DECA,” said Wold. This year, DECA has participated in many func-tions, like Art in the Park, the Women’s Show at St. Luke’s event, Make a Wish, Toy Drive, and the Canned Food Drive. They’ve also sold suck-ers, hats and coffee to the students and faculty. “Many students also write extensive research reports and present those to the judges. Should they place at state, they receive the right to attend Nation-als. This year held in Salt Lake City,” said Wold. Sophomore first year DECA member and Mar-

keting student Hannah Kopp said she loves it. “My favorite part of DECA is the people in-volved in it and the ac-tivities we get to do, like Boondocks, team building and state com-petition,” said Kopp. Kopp chose this class because she heard many r e c o m m e n d a t i o n s . Kopp plans on tak-ing Marketing all three years of high school and said she plans on gain-ing, “entrepreneurship skills, experience in front of judges, knowl-edge of sales, and resume and work experience.”

The Debate season is going strong so far, with seven tournaments under their belt as of Feb. 1, with a possibility of four more tournaments left in the season, depending on which they choose to do. Sophomore team mem-ber John Maas placed third in novice at the

Gonzaga tournament that took place on Jan. 6 to 7. Maas won a speaker award at Gonzaga also. Junior member Chris-tina Wilmot said, “I love the team this year! We have tons of newcom-ers who are amazing, and bring home lots of awards while having fun.” Sophomore mem-ber Kevin Miklos is also enjoying debate. “[The season] is pretty

good, there is plenty of work involved and competition involved. I was most proud of Gonzaga,” said Miklos. Debate coach Patri-cia Rich explained that it’s more the participa-tion of the debaters than what their win/ loss ra-tio comes out to be. “It’s not like football where they have a set re-cord, it’s more about how much they participate.”

One of Capital’s many PTE or (Professional technical education) programs is Newspa-per production, also known as Flight. The Newspaper is respon-sible for creating a is-sue almost every month during the school year. Junior Editor in Chief Brenna Patrick has been on staff for two years. “I had done journalism and yearbook in junior

high and just fell in love with the type of work that’s involved. I can’t imagine doing any-thing else,” Patrick said. “One of the greatest things about the class is that, if you are shy, it definitely gives you the opportunity to interact with all sorts of people in the school. You will become more aware about what is going on around you and you are able to learn a lot about how to function in a job after high school and

college. All in all, it is truly an amazing to op-portunity to work with an incredible group of people and create some-thing worth while for the school,” Patrick said. Junior Assistant Editor Jonathan Reff has also been on the staff for two years. “I enjoy newspaper because of the hardships and deadlines it offers my lazy life,” Reff said.

Howe likes being the editor because, “I get to tell people what to do. I also get my own desk and a final ap-proval stamp. I also got to help design the year-book cover this year.” Howe also said, “On a daily basis, I have to meet with the other edi-tors, get in front of the class and tell everyone what is going on for the day, and make sure the class is on task and doing their job.

Yearbook: A blast of the past

As of Feb. 2, National Honor Society mem-bers have reported 3700 hours of volunteer ser-vice in the community, according NHS advisor, librarian Susan Nickel. NHS is getting in-volved in some new projects one of which will be a Pet Food Drive for the Humane Soci-ety’s Pet Food Pantry. According to Nickel, NHS members and CHS students, faculty and staff will be able to par-ticipate in the activities. The donations can be delivered to the Library. Students will be collect-ing donations of canned cat and dog food and up

to 8 pound containers of dry cat and dog food. More information about the project can be found on Infinite Campus and will be an-nounced on the Morning announcements soon. NHS member-ship is by invitation. “After the first quar-ter semester grades are available, sophomores and juniors with a cu-mulate GPA of 3.5 and higher will be invited to apply for member-ship,” said Nickel. She also said that when the date for the deadline is set there would be no exceptions allowed. It is her recommen-dation that, “students complete the applica-

tion as soon as they receive it and turn it in at the library. Each ap-plicant name will be put on a ballot that is given to all teachers. Teach-ers will rate students on their character, class-room leadership, and service,” said Nickel. In order to actually become part of NHS students must receive an average 3.5 teach-er rating or higher. If a student ap-plies and has an aver-age teacher rating of 3.19 - 3.49, they will be reviewed by National Honor Society Faculty Council which is made up of elected student officials, in order ‘to determine if the stu-dent is worthy of mem-bership,’ said Nickel. The official Induc-tion Ceremony will be held in the Capi-tal High Auditorium on Thursday, April 5, 2012 at 7:00 p.m. All members and their families are welcomed to attend the ceremony.

I wanted a change as I went to high school. I never knew I would like it as much as I do. I have been a photographer, team editor and now assistant editor,” Blake said.

Ball also said, “I got interested because I wanted to be a part of something in the school and yearbook seemed like the best choice!”

Family and Consumer Science is a program specializing in the study of human development. The one thing that’s different from the rest of the PTE classes is students get to keep a baby for a week. “Everything we do in the classroom is job-related. It’s to help the community, it’s to help career

development, and it’s to help, obviously, in life,” said instructor Tera Chase. She has been teaching these classes for six years at Capital. The program cluster is made up of career, nutrition and food classes. These classes can get student certification in “Ready, Set, Food Safe,” which is sponsored by the University of Idaho. Early Child Development and Parenting is offered as a semester class but can be taken twice, and a student can receive college credits for those classes as well. “The part that I like about it (Early Child Development) is you get a (plastic) baby for a weekend,” said sophomore Jesse Kohn. Students can join FCCLA (Family, Career, and Community Leaders of America) a student leadership organization that offers competitions

in their areas. Next year, junior Nerea Sarria will be participating as an E.T.I. (Elementary Teacher Intern) and for two periods each she will work with a grade of her choice on basic family items at an elementary school. “The teacher’s really cool, the classes are interesting and we learn a lot,” said Sarria. All junior and seniors can enroll in college credits through this cluster, that can transfer to the University of Oregon, California colleges, Washington State University, University of Washington, Idaho colleges, and BYU campuses. A student can get a total of nine credits: six in ETI, and three in Early Child Development. “You can almost be done with your freshman semester in your first year of college,” Chase said.

Rosewind Assisted Living Home Emily LundquistNews Editor

Students ab le to ea rn vo lun teer hours

Teenagers that are col-lege bound are always looking for extra-curric-ular opportunities that look good on transcripts, and one of these ac-tivities is volunteering. Rosewind Assisted Liv-ing Center is located at 5815 W. Coffey Street, right down the hill from Capital, and is always looking for young kids and students who are willing to take time out of their day to spend it with the elderly people living in the home. Rosewind Activities Director Maggie Price organizes games, for the volunteers and residents to play. She also orga-nizes performances for young musicians who would like to share their talent, and has crafts for the residents and the volunteers to do.

She highly encourages young people to come in and offer their services. “We will take any amount of hours that a person wants to volun-teer. We have volunteers that have just come once for an hour or two. We have some that come once a month, some that come once or twice a week, and some that like to come around the holidays,” said Price. There are no certain traits required to vol-unteer, any age is ac-cepted, as long as there is a desire to help out and give the time. “And if you’re shy, you will find out that they are the kind-est, most accepting people,” said Price. All volunteers are ac-cepted, but the resi-dents do especially love it when teenagers and young kids visit. “They don’t get to

see young people that much,” said Price. Sophomore Montana Love has gained volun-teer hours at Rosewind, playing games with the residents and con-versing with them. “I played bin-go and talked with them,” said Love. Love also said that she had a good time while at Rosewind. “I felt really good about doing it,” Love said. Love said she plans on visiting again, and her favorite part was, “see-ing the [residents] hav-ing fun and interacting with their friends that they have at Rosewind.” Anyone who is inter-ested in earning hours and spending time do-ing activities with the elderly, should call the Activities Direc-tor, Maggie Price, at 208-375-0020 for more information.

I also wrote it to be funny. Very few picked up on the meta-phor,” said Zamora. Sophomore Em-ily Crans performed a Taylor Swift original “Breathe.” “I was in the mood I guess and I really liked someone and I wanted to express that emo-tion in some way, and I decided a room full of girls was perfect.” Crans also taught herself how to play the song on her guitar. “Everyone seemed to really enjoy it and I know I had a lot of fun sharing it with them,” said Crans.

Many kids in high school suffer from lack of sleep due to late nights of studying, pri-or commitments with sports, friends, or vol-unteering and chores, etc. According to the National Sleep Foun-dation, sleep is one of the most vital fac-tors to living a healthy life. It helps your brain function correctly, which in turn helps you work better in school. Without sleep, the con-sequences are: moodi-ness, irritability, more

likely that you’ll do poorly in school, and even make you sick. So what are teenagers supposed to do? The answer is simple: make sure sleep is a priority! Keep a set time you go to bed and wake up to make sure you get the healthy amount of sleep each night. If you did not get as much sleep as intended the night be-fore, take a speed nap, around a half hour, to wake up your brain and just enough so you’re not up late in the night. Another way to make sure you fall asleep fast-er is to make sure to not eat anything at least two hours before bed and make sure you’re in a cool, quiet, dark room.Most nights, when teen-agers decide to skip out on homework and sleep, they tend to re-sort to watching tele-vision, playing video games and eating fatty junk foods.

Last year Special Edu-cation Assistant Samuel Cronin published his first book called “How Well the Sailors Run.” This book first start-ed off in an Oregon coastal town called Springwick Harbor. The main protagonist is an 18-year-old boy named Wade Burns. Through-out the book he has many internal conflicts about whether or not he should be a sailor or pursue his desire to follow in the footsteps of his adoptive father Abner, and become the Lighthouse Keeper. Instead, Abner wants his true son Jeshurun to become his successor, which causes Wade to become heartbroken so he convinces himself to sail away from home in what is thought to be a cursed ship called the Vermillion Mourn-ing. From there on his hopes are set on be-coming the Keeper of a supposedly mythical place called the Hos-tel Sound Lighthouse. Within the story a man named Dion continually

tries to coerce Wade into boarding the ship to please his own personal agenda and through a series of events Wade and three other men end up being sailing the boat by themselves. In the end, the sail-ors’ goal is to reach a destination called Cape Horn in which no sailor has come out alive be-fore. On the journey there, Wade hopes to determine his identity, but also the fate often the Springwick Har-bor sailors who are to a aid to leave the land. The crew is faced with tons of mishaps as the story unfolds and that helps to give the book a great sense of reality. There are tons of sailing terms that were sometimes hard to comprehend but all in all Cronin described scenes very well. The plot of this book is amazingly intricate and the characters all act re-alistically and come to life for the reader. This book is wonderful in its sense of adventure, mystery and its human interactions that con-tinue to amaze a reader throughout the book.

no one believes her. “I played the annoying Little-Bit in the modern

It was kind of challeng-ing playing someone as high maintenance and preppy as her,” se-nior Shannon West said. Johnson and Stew-art both thought the gas chamber scene was intense. “We used fog to simu-late gas and the girls wore simple slips. They looked and sounded vulnerable and scared. Every time I watched the scene I got goose bumps,” stated Stewart.

Super Bowl Sunday has come around again for the 46th year with the New York Giants prevailing with a 21- 17 win over the Patriots So what plans did Cap-ital have to celebrate? Junior Jonathan Reff had a few interesting things that he did during this year’s Super Bowl. “My dad likes the Giants and I like the Patriots. If my team wins then my dad dis-owns me,” said Reff. Most importantly during Reff’s Su-

per Bowl day he said, “ I stay at home all day and eat sushi.” All in all though Reff said, “I love football.” Super Bowl supporter sophomore Kavan Hess, is a major Giants fan and didn’t see the Patriots as a worthy opponent. On Super Bowl Sunday, Hess said he was attend-ing a party with some interesting activities. “We’ll have one room Patriots and one room Giants. Some people will be eating and oth-ers don’t even care about the Super Bowl but will be eating pizza and just enjoying them-

selves,” said Hess. Hess said that his fa-vorite part of the Super Bowl is “if my team is not playing then second are the commercials.” Sophomore Ryan Sturges thought the Super Bowl was any-thing but “ the worst game in the history of the Super bowl.” “The only thing that made the Super Bowl good was going to my dad’s friend’s house for the party for the game,” said Sturges. Sophomore Gigi Le-ris said,“It was an okay game but could have been better.”

Varsity girls basketball team ends season at Districts

JV girls have impressive season

The wrestling sea-son is well underway and the team is gear-ing up for Districts. “We are quickly closing the gaps on our competition and we’re anticipating a great showing at the district tournament,” said coach Jody Webb. The past two months the team has gone on several trips including

to Post Falls, Idaho for the “River City Duals” where juniors Hunter Manwaring and Alex Ekins, and sophomores Blake Collins and Jacob Fields, went undefeated. Also, at the “River City Duals”, senior Bryce Groth was voted the tournament’s Most Inspirational Wrestler. More recently, in Idaho Falls, sopho-more Payton Lukecart was the Champion of the Meet. Sophomore

Nathan Dass has been seeing a lot of success according to Webb. “I hope we have a good end to the season,” said Dass. The team is ex-cited for the upcom-ing district meet held at Capital in late Feb. “Their hard work and dedication is really be-ginning to show as they are starting to experi-ence a lot of success on the mats,” said Webb.

As of Jan. 26, the JV girl’s basketball team had a record of 14-6. The team has had an impressive sea-son from the start as they won games against Timberline, Caldwell, Centennial, and Boise High School. Sophomore Center Megan Gurney has been part of the Capital basketball program for the last two years. She said her favorite part of basketball at Capital is, “playing in games and the team bonding.” The season has

been great from the start, but even the JV girls have had their tough moments. “All season we’ve been working on mak-ing a better bounce pass. Although it’s not as good as it could be, it’s much better than it was,” said Gurney. JV coach Harry An-gelos has been coach-ing basketball for many years at several schools. “He is so experienced. He knows everything there is to know about basketball and is so willing to share his knowledge with us.

As of Feb. 8, the Varsity girls’ basketball team’s record was 13-11. The 5A District III tournament started with a close loss for the Varsity girls’ basket-ball team with 54-57 against Rocky Moun-tain High on Feb. 2. Capital proceeded into the consolation rounds. For the second game of the tournament, the Lady Eagles battled Timberline High to a pulp with a winning score of 45-30 on Feb. 4. After that then ad-vanced into the 4 round. After that next game was against the Meridi-an Warriors who defeat-ed us 47-45 on Feb. 7. The Capital team advanced into the fifth place game against Rocky Mountain High

the next day. They lost that game with a score of 66-51 that ended their chance of getting into the state tournament. The ninth game of the season was against the Mountain View Mav-ericks and it resulted in a win for Capital with a final score of 55-51. The 11th game was against the Boise Braves and resulted in another win for Capital 42-35 and raising the re-cord to 9-3 at max point. The win against Ea-gle High School started a two game winning streak that included an overtime win against Rocky Mountain High and bringing the Lady Eagles record up to 11-4. With a loss against main rival Borah High and a win against Tim-berline High, the Lady Eagles started a three game losing streak in their last games

of the regular sea-son against Vallivue, Mountain View, and Meridian High School. After the last game of the regular sea-son on Jan. 26, junior center Caitlin Gauby thought the team did well even though last year’s record was better. “I think we did re-ally really good. We worked together as a team. We learned a lot,” Gauby said. The team also hosted their third annual Breast Cancer Awareness game during the match against Vallivue on Jan. 21. All proceeds from the game went to the Susan G. Kommen Foundation. During the games athletes and coaches of both teams wore pink to show aware-ness for breast cancer. “We enjoy these moments,” said Head Coach Blas Telleria Jr.

I also appreciate his kindness, patience and humor,” said Gurney. Junior Center Rebekah Ritthaler was injured at the beginning of the season against Merid-ian High, but remained positive, and said her team, “made it a little bit easier and stuck by my side and did their best to support me.” Despite her injury, Rit-thaler’s favorite part of the JV season was, “all the team dinners and breakfasts we had. We were such a family.”

Opinion Tuesday, February 14th, 2012

Wolf Hunting. Wheth-er you are for or against, it is a subject that always seems to evoke extreme emotions. It seems dif-ficult to have a reasoned discussion, based in fact, about this subject. People who sup-port the hunting of wolves tend to take the view that they are not native to Idaho or that it is no different than hunting any other

animal. Other people think you should never kill any wolves. I sus-pect the truth is some-where in the middle. It does, however, seem counter intuitive to immediately begin hunting an animal that has just come off the endangered species list. Hunting caused the eradication of these ani-mals in the first place and then, once we’ve reintroduced them and they begin to thrive, we want to hunt them again. Doesn’t it make more sense to allow these ani-mals to live, unhunted, for a period of time to see how the ecosys-tem balances itself out? There are many fac-tors which will limit the size of a wolf popula-tion, including avail-

ability of food such as elk, deer, and other wildlife and the avail-ability of the wilderness habitat that the wolf needs, so why would we want to add another man-made threat, such as hunting, to the wolf? Much of the argument seems to be based in fal-lacies and unfounded opinions. Wolves are not killing livestock willy-nilly; in fact, they are only responsible for 3.7% of livestock killed by predators. Domes-tic dogs (yes, domestic dogs) account for 9.9% and coyotes 53.1%, yet domestic dogs are not banned from ranch-ing areas and no one is selling coyote tags. Wolves are not out attacking humans, ei-ther. According to the

Los Angeles Times, there has been only one fatal wolf attack in modern U.S. his-tory. And wolves are not wiping out the elk/deer population. Wolves, in fact, hunt the weak, injured, or sick members of an elk herd, taking only what they need to survive. Does this mean there are fewer elk and deer? Yes, but Idaho Fish and Game states that they “manage for a surplus of elk, deer, and other wild-life for public harvest”. Nature has a way of balancing itself and it should be reasoned sci-ence, not emotion, that drives the management of the wolf population.

Con: Wolves aren’t to blame, hunting not the solution

In states across the Northwest, the issue of Wolf hunting has arisen, and has been under fire from environmentalists. I’m personally an Idaho native, so I’ve been raised around tons of hunters, fish-ermen, and wildlife lovers. So hunting is nothing new to me. The problem I have is why people don’t want

what’s the difference? Or how coyotes kill more livestock than wolves, ranchers are allowed to shoot any predator that threat-ens their livestock.Why worry about hunt-ers killing wolves when there are worst dangers to them? Instead, worry about habitat loss, cli-mate change and oth-er major threats, that humans usually have something to do with. There are stats saying that elk populations in some areas have dropped up to 57%, such as the Lolo zone in northern Idaho due to wolves since 2006, as stated in an Ida-horeporter.com article.

TWIRP dance, Yes or No?

If that’s just one zone, imagine the popula-tion drops across the Northwestern region. It is ridiculous to bring up all the statis-tics about the cons of wolf hunting. This is Idaho, where the locals embrace hunting and the outdoors. It was un-derstandable not being able to hunt them when they were endangered, but now they’re not and people are saying we shouldn’t now that we can? Why not ban other game from a hunting season while you’re at it, and slowly ruin the culture of Idaho and her people, at the same time.

My mother went to work on October 18, 2006 like it was any nor-mal Wednesday. I bet she even went about her day like it was an aver-age day as well. But this day wasn’t normal in the slightest because at 1:30 P.M. my mom was run over by a front-end loader three consecutive times. Her injuries were extensive from broken bones to muscle torn completely away. She was given a 1% chance of surviving through her first night in the hospi-tal. She was airlifted to a burn unit in Salt Lake City, Utah because the hospitals in Boise didn’t have all the resources she needed. My moth-er was in a coma for 6 weeks and she spent a total of four months away from my fam-ily and I being healed. I let the depression from the accident take hold of me and I didn’t try to fight it off. There were days where I laid in bed all day and slept. For a twelve year old that isn’t really what’s expected. That school year I missed over 50 days of school. When I did show up for school I skipped classes and didn’t turn in assign-ments. I was going to be held back until my Eng-lish and A.V.I.D. teach-er, Paul Altorfer, be-came my saving grace. I remember sitting in his classroom like it was yesterday. There are old fridge doors attached to the classroom door and the closet door, and right at this mo-ment all the desks are facing the whiteboard. On the fridge doors he has more magnets than I can count. The whole room has a homey feel that I love being in. It makes the learning process easier. I get up and walk to his desk in the back of the room. “Mr. Altorfer, I can’t do this.” He just stared at me for a moment. He said “Yes you can Taylor, you can do whatever you set your mind to and I’m here for you in the process.” He brought all my

teachers together to talk with them and try and make them see why I should get to go on to eighth grade. He plead-ed my case and made the teachers and admin-istration see that if my mother’s accident never happened I would have been a great student. He showed them that with the help of A.V.I.D., a college prep class and help from the teachers, I could pull through by the end of the year. Thanks to him, I started over. A.V.I.D. stands for “Advancement Via In-dividual Determina-tion;” it is a course for students who have the potential to succeed in accelerated classes but not necessarily the drive to do so. The course teaches study skills, note taking, organiza-tion and most of all, how to be a self-guided learner. It also gives you tools to become a better student like tutorials. Mr. Altorfer’s favor-ite tool was reflection. We would write re-flections on our learning experiences and vari-ous other things. When we took notes, we al-ways had to reflect on what we had learned and how we learned it that night before. Dur-ing tutorial sessions on Tuesdays and Thurs-days we would always leave time to reflect like we did in our Cornell notes. I always hated reflecting because I thought that it was a waste of time. Now I can see that this class is really what helped me realize that I needed to reflect on this whole situation and draw con-clusions to loose ends. We never have as much time with a person as we think. I thought that my mom would al-ways be around. I was arrogant about this in a way, and I feel like life stepped in and gave me a reminder about how precious life is. In a split second I almost lost someone that I love and I wouldn’t have gotten to say goodbye. I also thought all my teachers never re-ally cared about me or what had happened. I thought that they were all against me in a way. But as it turns out, al-most all of them were cheering for me when I started to turn things around at the end of the year. From this ex-perience I’ve learned that there are teachers out there that do care. Sometimes in life we tend to just think of how things affect us immediately and not how it will affect us later in life. When I re-flected on the accident I learned more than I thought I ever could.

don’t raise as much com-motion about hunting bears, deer, elk, or mountain li-ons. Mountain lions are thriv-ing also, even with a hunt-ing season for them. The same thing will happen to the wolves. Wolves don’t have many preda-tors, so we do have to regulate their numbers, to an extent anyway. If we allow their numbers to be too large and they intrude into populated areas, there could be a worse reaction to the wolves. Reactions could include poisoning, or even wolf eradication.
