by Hannah Brosius It is only a few days from Thanksgiving as Shelby Peeve gets ready to see her family. As she packs her suitcase she feels herself begin to smile at the thought of seeing her family in Texas that she has missed so much throughout the year. She knows that many of her friends will only have to jump in their cars and go a block or two to see everyone in their family, but she also knows that many other students with mil- itary family mem- bers will have an empty seat at their dinner table this Thanksgiving. For many students at Captain Shreve like Shelby Peeve who have a military family have grown used to moving from state to state and not seeing many of their family members during holi- days. “You have to leave everything that you had come to know,” Shelby Peeve, a junior, said. Some students, like Peeve, with military parents did not grow up in one place. “I have moved fifteen times,” Sarah Porter, a sophomore, said. “My grandpa was in the Air force but now is retired.” It is also difficult for students to move. “I lived in New Mexico, Texas, and then I moved to Louisiana,” Cassie Davis, a senior, said. “It was so nerve wrecking when I first moved here because there were no other military kids.” These students sometimes have different opinions on where their home is. “I have moved two times but I consider Texas my home because my family is there,” Peeve said. Some students with military families will also have family members missing this Thanksgiving. “My brother’s in Okinawa right now,” Savannah Niette, a junior, said. “I miss him and it’s going to be weird since he sits right next to me at dinner.” There are different ways stu- dents can deal with the stress. “There’s nothing specific I do but sometimes I dance just to get my mind off it.” Niette said. Some students may just have a family member somewhere else. “My Uncle is stationed in Pennsylvania,” Devante Brown, a sophomore, said. “He comes here for Thanksgiving.” Others could also have more than one or two family members living somewhere else. “My aunt and uncle live in South Carolina,” Katie Unopih, a sopho- more, said. “So does my two brothers.” Money may also be an issue when trying to visit family mem- bers. “Military kids are always mov- ing away so it’s harder,” Chris Davison, a junior, said. “The price for tickets always skyrockets dur- ing Thanksgiving and Christmas, so their family can never visit each other.” For families who have loved ones deployed, however, traveling to visit them is not even an option. “My dad was deployed for my whole junior year, so he was gone for Thanksgiving,” Davis said. “It’s harder for military kids because of how stressful it is.” The The ENTERPRISE ENTERPRISE November 2010 • Vol. 44, No. 2 • Est. 1967 • 6115 East Kings Hwy. • Shreveport, LA 71105 Sports Sports • Soccer enters 2010 season hoping to win district again. page 5 News News • Deadlines approach for local colleges and univer- sities. page 3 Photo by Anna Boyter (Top) From left to right.

Asshe packs her suitcase she feelsherself begin to smile at thethought of seeing her family inTexas that she has missed somuch throughout the year. Sheknows that manyof her friends willonly have to jumpin their cars andgo a block or twoto see everyone intheir family, butshe also knowsthat many otherstudents with mil-itary family mem-bers will have anempty seat at their dinner tablethis Thanksgiving.
For many students at CaptainShreve like Shelby Peeve whohave a military family havegrown used to moving from stateto state and not seeing many oftheir family members during holi-days.
“You have to leave everythingthat you had come to know,”Shelby Peeve, a junior, said.
Some students, like Peeve,with military parents did not growup in one place.
“I have moved fifteen times,”Sarah Porter, a sophomore, said.“My grandpa was in the Air forcebut now is retired.”
It is also difficult for studentsto move.
“I lived in New Mexico, Texas,and then Imoved to Louisiana,” CassieDavis, a senior, said. “It was sonerve wrecking when I firstmoved here because there wereno other military kids.”
These students sometimeshave different opinions on wheretheir home is.
“I have moved two times but Iconsider Texas my home becausemy family is there,” Peeve said.
Some students with militaryfamilies will also have familymembers missing thisThanksgiving.
“My brother’s in Okinawaright now,” Savannah Niette, ajunior, said. “I miss him and it’sgoing to be weird since he sitsright next to me at dinner.”
There are different ways stu-dents can deal with the stress.
“There’s nothing specific I dobut sometimes I dance just to get
my mind off it.” Niette said.Some students may just have a
family member somewhere else.“My Uncle is stationed in
Pennsylvania,” Devante Brown, asophomore, said. “He comes herefor Thanksgiving.”
Others could also have morethan one or two family membersliving somewhere else.
“My aunt anduncle live in SouthCarolina,” KatieUnopih, a sopho-more, said. “Sodoes my twobrothers.”
Money mayalso be an issuewhen trying to
visit family mem-bers.
“Military kids are always mov-ing away so it’s harder,” ChrisDavison, a junior, said. “The pricefor tickets always skyrockets dur-ing Thanksgiving and Christmas,so their family can never visiteach other.”
For families who have lovedones deployed, however, travelingto visit them is not even an option.

History of the “Enterprise”Captain Henry Miller Shreve, steamboat pilot of the
1800’s and namesake of our high school, is famous for hisefforts in opening the inland waterways of America. Not sofamous, however, is Shreve’s first steamboat, the“Enterprise,” and its role in American history.
Wary of the Fulton-Livingston monopoly over trade onthe Mississippi River, Shreve realized the necessity ofbuilding a superior steam vessel. As a result, Shreve formeda partnership with entrepreneur Daniel French to designsuch a boat. The result of their work was the steamboat“Enterprise.” On Dec. 1, 1814, she left on her maiden voy-age with 29-year-old Shreve as her captain.
This first voyage was no leisurely trip. A precious cargoof munitions and supplies was desperately needed byGeneral Andrew Jackson’s troops in New Orleans. The longtrip down the Mississippi River was a success, and, withintwo weeks, the cargo was safely delivered to Jackson’scamp. Shreve’s fearless attitude and the dependability ofthe “Enterprise” were crucial factors in the victory over theBritish at the Battle of New Orleans in the War of 1812.
Now, as the student newspaper of Captain Shreve HighSchool, The Enterprise strives to emulate the fearlessnessand dependability of Shreve and his ship in reporting thenews important to you, the students of Captain Shreve.

Schools need to go greenUsing eco friendly technolo-gy has not been very cheapover the years, but as tech-nology advances savingmoney by going green isbecoming more and moreprevalent in the general pub-lic. Here at Captain Shreve theclosest thing we have togoing green that most of usknow about is the motionsensor lights in the MagnetHall, but there are manyplaces where Shreve couldutilize space already avail-able to save money.Shreve has many options toinput eco friendly technolo-gy to help put money in ourschools pockets.The most popular way to gogreen is the use of solar pan-els. Shreve has approximate-ly three thousand square feetof roof space on the mainbuilding which would be
optimal space for solar pan-els.Our school on an averagemonth uses roughly eightthousand dollars worth ofelectricity every month. Twohundred seventy eight meterswill make three hundredsixty one kilowatt-hoursworth of electricity per day.Our school uses 80,000 kilo-watt-hours of electricitymeaning it would take twohundred twenty one hours ofsunlight to acquire enoughelectricity to power theschool for a month.With about three hundredhours of sunlight a month inNovember Shreve would paylittle to no money for ourelectricity bill.There are also benefits tousing solar energy aside theenvironmental and monthlyfinancial savings. During the summer when our
school uses less energymoney can be wired back tothe electrical company andShreve could get paid for theenergy it does not use, whichcan in turn pay for electrici-ty in months like Decemberwhere there is little sunlight.If Shreve were to put SolarPanels on top of the MagnetHall, Annex building, andother flat roofed areasaround Captain Shreve, ourschool could potentiallymake money.Green technologies rangeeverywhere from wind ener-gy, to using heat from theparking lot to heat up water,to as simple as switching toflorescent light bulbs. Bytaking on a few projectsCaptain Shreve could step upto the plate as being theforefront leader in greentechnologies, and savingmoney.

Study shows gender affects caffeine addictionby Alona Warren
A study published in TheJournal of Neducube in January2010 has shown that teenageboys are more addicted to caf-feine than teenage girls are.
The study was done by neu-rologist Jennifer L. Temple atthe University at Buffalo.
Caffeine fuels today’s gener-ation. Some teenagers are gulp-ing down energy drinks orgoing to the nearest Starbucksto get their coffee fix on a dailybasis.
“I think girls are moreaddicted to caffeine than boys,”Tyresia, a sophomore, said.“Because girls like to be morealert and hyper.”
Others agree with the study.“Guys are more addicted for
sure,” Sharon Linzie, a fresh-man, said. “Because of theirmetabolism is faster so theyneed more caffeine to stayawake. “
No one really stops to thinkthat caffeine could be a drug.Also no one stops to think thattoo much of a good thing couldbe bad.
“I do think caffeine could bean addictive substance,” Earlssaid. “Because not everyonewants to be hyper. Teens don’tdrink just to be hyper but towake themselves up and bemore aware.”
Linzie thinks otherwise. “Caffeine is not addictive,”
Linzie said. “Because peopleonly drink it when they need it.Their hormones makes themaddicted since teens tend tocrave a certain thing for a longtime.”
The study was conducted byhaving a group of boys and girlages 12 to 17. The adolescentsare told to play a game and theirreward would be a caffeinatedbeverage. The longer the partic-ipants played the game theharder it got. Studies showedthat boys were a lot more will-ing to continue to play thangirls were.
This information could betrue.

High school, college stu-dents, and others participated asvolunteers with Fuller Center forHousing Organization to make adifference on October 23, 2010.The Black Studies Associationfrom Captain Shreve participat-ed in a community service eventcalled Make a Difference Day.The students had to paint oldhistorical buildings. "I think itwas worth my time, I wanted todo it to help the community.”Sylesia Howard, junior. Make ADifference Day is the mostencompassing national day ofhelping others. It is also the cel-ebration of neighbors helpingneighbors. It is a really bigevent, there were nearly 375volunteers. “I think it was for agood cause, we painted thatstore so those who have to walkmiles and miles don't have toanymore. They will have a closeby grocery store to get to
faster!" Eric Washington, junior.The BSA made a difference
to the Allendale neighborhood inShreveport, LA. They helped theless fortunate and poor by paint-ing, landscaping, cleaning upthrift stores. It would definitelybenefit the people who have tostruggle to get somewhere. Theoffice building they were paint-ing included two floors; theywere making the top floor into aconference room. They paintedthree shotgun houses that willserve as museums and rentalspace for future businesses. Theupstairs portion will become thenew offices. The downstairs willbe a grocery store. The grocerystore will have no alcohol andno tobacco. People will be ableto shop and reinvest in the com-munity. I didn't do it just to do it,I did it because I knew some-body will benefit from it!"Sylesia Howard, junior. EricWashington said, "I felt goodabout helping others because I
was prepared to make a differentin someone's life.” EricWashington, junior. AlsoLouisiana State University inShreveport donated paint andpainted the old houses also. Thiswas a great experience for thevolunteers, and this was wellworth the time, money, andeffort! KTBS news was theresupporting the volunteers andshowing how hard they wereworking on television. Theimportance of this day was toget other people that helping is agood thing after all. Also theone-day, community-wide vol-unteer event allows donors anopportunity to see first-handwhere their contributions aregoing and who their dollars arehelping. Many are looking for-ward to doing it again. SylesiaHoward concluded "I look for-ward to doing it again with BSAnext year." Sylesia Howard, jun-ior.

Chesapeake Award
College deadlines draw nearby Abbie Tuggle
While the pressure of choosing a college is challenging for sen-iors, the application dates for local colleges and universities aredrawing near. For Bossier Parish Community College’s fall semes-ter, the last date to turn in an application for the 2011-2012 fall classis May 24. Centenary University in Shreveport has an extendedapplication date of August 1. Those indecisive students wishing toattend Louisiana State University in Shreveport can turn in finalapplication dates before December 1 for the spring semester andApril 15 for summer and fall.
Scholarship application dates aren’t quite as defined, but therequirements are mandatory if you want to apply. With TOPS(Tuition Opportunity Program for Students), students graduating inthe 2010-2011 school year must have accumulated 23 credits intheir high school career. Current juniors and thereafter need to havegathered 24 credits to satisfy the scholarship prerequisite. The GPA(Grade Point Average) needed to qualify for the OpportunityAward is no less than 2.50 on core courses. A 20 on the ACT orSAT equivalent is also required to qualify. The TOPS scholarshipis for defraying the cost of in state colleges and universities. If onewishes to attend an out-of-state college, the TOPS scholarshipwould become void.

There are just common sideeffects from drinking a littlemore than normal amounts ofcaffeine.
“I only drink soda some-times,” Khandice Smith, asophomore, said. “And I hatecoffee. It gives me a headache.“
These are blurred vision,dizziness, anxiety, confusion,dry mouth, and trouble breath-ing.
The amount of caffeine indrinks varies. Surprisingly sodahave the least with well under60 milligrams of caffeinewhereas energy drinks have themost amount of caffeine. Theoriginal Monster has 160 mil-ligrams and some energy drinksgo well up to 400 milligrams.
What something some peo-ple don’t know is that one canoverdose on caffeine just likean illegal substance. This iscalled caffeine intoxicationwhich happens often. This canoccur when 300 milligrams of
caffeine or more is consumed(depending on your tolerance tocaffeine and weight).
This study has been calledinaccurate because caffeinecravings could be due to hor-
mones and not just addiction.Further studies are being con-ducted to pinpoint reasons towhy teens are so addicted andhow badly this can effect theirhealth.

As football season comesto a close, Captain Shrevesoccer is about to start.
Shreve has had one of thetop soccer teams in the state,let alone district, over thepast two years. They have notlost against a district teamand have pitched 40 com-bined shutouts during thattime. To go along with thoseimpressive stats, CaptainShreve has outscored oppo-nents 208-26 and have won54 out of 61 games.
During the 2009-2010 sea-son, the Gators were rankedas high as 3rd nationally and1st in Louisiana. Not onlydid they beat every team inthe district twice on their
way to another district cham-pionship, they shutout theCaddo Magnet Mustangs andthe Byrd Yellow Jackets mul-tiple times. Lafayette Highended Shreve’s run last yearin the semifinals of the play-offs at Lee Hedges Stadium.
In the 2008-2009 season,the Gator's not only won theirdistrict with a 10-0 record,they continued to impress asthey finished the year as staterunner-up. The southernLouisiana high school power-house, Jesuit, defeatedCaptain Shreve 3-1 in a cold,wet, hard fought game atIndependence Stadium.
The Gators seem to be ingood shape as they look tobeat out Byrd and Magnet foranother district champi-
onship in 2011. CaptainShreve will be returningmany players, includingsophomore Neal Usry andall-state 1st team seniorConnor Randel, lead the teamin goals last year with 31.Usry accounted for 14 goalswhich is second amongreturning players.
Senior ChristopherLawrence racked up 47 clearsthroughout the 2009-2010season and will play a largerole on the defensive side ofthe field this year.
Although the two-timedefending district champshave some key returners,they also have a fair share ofkey losses as well. Goalie isone very important positionthat will have to be replaced.
Last year, Austin Wisby,played a huge role in helpingShreve achieve such a highranking by holding opposingoffenses to just one goalevery three games. Wisbyalso had 77 saves.
Another big-time playerwho graduated was WillMonsour. Monsour connectedon 20 goals, lead Shreve with21 assists, and made the all-state 1st team.
Matt Smith remains theCaptain Shreve head coach.Smith has experience withthe high expectations that theteam brings. Last year, theGator’s were given expecta-tions higher than any team inLouisiana and the team andcoach Smith didn’t disap-point with a 26 win season.
