Meet Andrew Funk. He’s your aver-age 20-year-old college student, except he happens to be running for a seat in the House of Representatives.

Funk was born in Edmonds and has lived in Mountlake Terrace his entire life. Growing up, he was an Eagle Scout, and helped start and served as President for the Edmonds-Woodway Teenage Republicans. Funk has also worked for the Edmonds Community College Student

Government, the Edmonds School District, and the Wildlife Committee of Washington. Currently, he is attending Central Washington University and holds an Associate of Arts degree in Accounting and Business Administration.

Funk is running as a Republican for the 21st District of Washington, which encompasses Edmonds, Lynnwood, Mukilteo, and parts of Mountlake Terrace and Everett. “I was dismayed that no Republicans were running against any of the 3 incumbent Democrats [in 2006],” said Funk. “I knew that if no one was going to take on the leadership mantle that I would do it in 2008.”

As an aspiring GOP member, he believes in the Republican principles of limit-ed government, minimal taxation, and responsible government spending. The three biggest issues of concern for Funk would be property rights, budget and taxes, and transportation.

He proposes eliminating the State Property Tax Levy, cutting wasteful spending (citing the $3 billion that was untouched by State Legislature), and working on a plan to reduce traffic con-gestion.

Among his other stances on issues, he would like to change the current edu-cation system, supporting to drop the WASL and increasing teacher’s salaries through a merit based system.

He also will not support the Governor on a state income tax, and wishes to restore “fiscal responsibility” to Washington. “I do not think that our State government is doing their job,” Funk reported. “Their [the Democrats] solution is higher taxes. I am afraid that if our state govern-ment continues down its current path, Washington will collapse.”

Currently, the 21st District Representatives are all Democrats. Election season is in November. “I know through my experience of talking with voters going door to door that this is what they want,” Funk said. “and the message of freedom, the focus of my campaign, is something that the citizens can support and rally around..”

Funk will be running against incumbent Marko Liias, a Democrat from Mukilteo. Liass, currently 26, is the youngest mem-ber of the states Legislature.

Funk began his political career while a junior at Edmonds-Woodway High School when he and a friend attempted to start a trap shooting club on campus. Fearing a lack of support, they instead started a Republican club because of the party’s support of gun rights.

Funk will be speaking on Thursday, September 4, 2008 at the 21st&32nd Legislative District GOP Meeting at 7:00 pm at Lynnwood City Hall.

School lunches and breakfasts this year will no longer be the bargain that they always have been. This year the school dis-trict has raised the district wide lunch price for middle and high school students to $4, an increase of nearly 77.8 percent from the old price of $2.25. Additionally, the new breakfast price is now $2 instead of $1.25.

There are three main reasons for the price increase, the first being the rising cost of food. The Edmonds School District lunches meet and usually exceed the FDA’s health standards, according to Debbie Jakala, the Edmonds School District Community relations manager, but she points to the increased cost of doing so as contribut-ing to the increase. “Last year the food ser-vice department increased the fiber in their bread products. Healthier food does cost more money, but it’s very important to them that they provide the highest quality meals possible,” said Jakala.

Secondly, ever-rising gas cost affected the cost of transporting the food, and thus the cost of the food itself.

Additionally, the state also gave food ser-vice employees a COLA (Cost of Living Adjustment) this year, a required 4.4% raise for food service employees.

The food service department’s only source of income is the breakfasts and lunches sold at the schools, so to keep up with all the increased cost of food, gas and paying employees in accordance to the COLA, an increase in price was necessary.

The food service department has a budget that they must go by every year, to break even is to end the year off with no or little money left, all of it goes to paying employ-ees, buying food and transportation costs. Any money that is left over goes to funding the next school year. “We hope the fami-lies understand that we are not making any money from this increase, this is simply so the food service department can break even,” said Jakala.

Junior Pace Cordova-Smith sees the increase in price as another reason to “eat off-campus or bring my own lunch.” Cordoba-Smith doesn’t necessarily see the price increase as a huge problem. “I don’t really buy school lunches,” he said.

Additional changes in the district’s pol-icy include a statement that if a student does not have the means to pay for a lunch that “they will be allowed to eat a full meal until... they reach a balance owing of $10.” This change is due, in part, to a previously lenient policy in IOU’s which has resulted in a $200,000 loss, according to a letter sent by Marla Miller, Assistant Superintendent and Sara Conroy, Interim Director of Food Service.

The district suggested in an Aug. 18th mailing that all families apply for reduced or free meals. The reduced lunch costs 40 cents per lunch and provides a free break-fast, both of which are paid for by federal and state funds.

A recent discovery by David Goldberg, a Columbia University geophysicist, proves there is a new way to store and contain carbon dioxide so it may not be released back into the atmo-sphere.

The most common meth-ods of storing carbon dioxide have been to pump carbon dioxide into tapped out oil and gas wells. The study con-ducted for this new meth-od is said to be “the first good evidence that this kind of carbon burial is feasible”, according to Goldberg.

This study showed that basalt, hardened lava that erupts from undersea fis-sures or volcanoes, combined with carbon dioxide natu-rally converts into a solid mineral. This mineral would be a carbonate, a chalk like substance.

Basalt covers most of the ocean floor but the most ideal places for this meth-od of storage are off the coast of Oregon, California, Washington and British

Columbia, which are all located on the 30,000 square miles of the Juan de Fuca plate.

Goldberg and his col-leagues have hope for the Juan de Fuca plate because it is one of the few places on the ocean floor that is isolated from earthquakes, hydrothermal vents and other factors. This plate is located about 100 miles off the Pacific Coast.

Most of the basalt in this region is at a depth of around 8850 feet or 2700 meters. The other possibility for this method of carbon dioxide storage is the use of basalt that exists at or near the sur-face of other land areas.

Though there are other options, Goldberg sticks to his contention that undersea basalt is the best option. He states that undersea basalt is widespread and could poten-tially be larger and better than the basalt available on land.

Petroleum is undoubtedly the most politically influen-tial natural resource in the world today, and holds spe-cial weight within the United States the largest consum-ers of crude oil products. About 20 million barrels are consumed daily according to the US Energy Information Agency (EIA), nearly three times as much as China.

Only about 8.3 million of those barrels are produced within the US, leaving heavy reliance on foreign oil. Easing that dependence (and respectively bringing down gas prices) is at the forefront of political debate: the only way to do so is to extract more petroleum from home reserves, the largest of which exists around Alaska.

Since 1977, drilling in the Alaskan National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR), estimated by the US Geological Survey to contain 7.7 billion barrels of recoverable oil has been a hotly contested issue.

The EIA estimates that lifting the 27-year ban on

coastal drilling would mean an increase of oil by about 200,000 barrels a day within about a decade. The costs and environmental impact, would begin right away. Both McCain and Obama (for-merly opposed to the idea over environmental con-cerns) now support repeal-ing the ban. President Bush has been urging for it, but faces resistance in congress.

Two-hundred thousand barrels a day would mean a 2.4 percent increase in domestic production and would lower gas prices by an estimated four cents per gallon.

Seeing as how the states only sit on an estimated three percent of the global oil reserve, some argue it would be smarter to focus less on extracting greater amounts of oil and more on reducing the amount consumed.

Even if the entire Alaskan Refuge petroleum reserve were utilized, it would only sustain oil consumption in the U.S. for about a year. Global oil demand increases by about 3.5 percent annu-ally.

Vending Machines to go in 2009

Because of House Bill 5093, Vending Machines must enforce a healthy food guideline. This guideline would involve the removal of soda, snacks, chips, and other unhealthy food items form the vending machines.

This Bill was supposed to start this year, but thanks to the efforts of Stew and Mrs. Brzovic, they managed to delay that order till it’s appropriate time, in 2009. To try and counter the lost funding from the vending machines, the introduced House Bill 5694. This bill would have imposed a 1 percent fee on tickets for any entertain-ment show to fill in some of the lost reve-nue to go towards athletics in Washington. However, this was shot down.

California has enforced the healthy food regulation for about 10 years now. It costs $700 to $1000 to play football for one sea-son, $300 to $700 to play basketball for one season, and about $300 to be in choir, to name a few.

If nothing is done to fill in the soon to be lost revenue, Stew warns, Washington could face the same prices for Athletics as California.

New MTHS 2008-2009 staff

Starting this school year, Edmonds School District 15 (ESD 15) and the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association (WIAA) are enforcing stricter require-ments for high school and middle school athletes and activity members.

The newly revised rule calls each student involved in any sport or club to be enrolled in at least five classes. Of those classes, some may be Running Start classes. Those stu-dents must also be passing at least four of their classes. Incompletes must be made up and cleared before the student can compete again.

Previous to last year, students only needed to enroll in and pass four classes.

According to ESD 15’s regulations, “con-certs, quadrant concerts, district gradua-tions and locally adjudicated performances” are exempt from this rule because they are considered curricular performances.

Students who are academically passing will be lightly affected by this rule.

WIAA rule changed:Take five, pass four

On Aug. 8th, 2008, Georgian forces moved into the self-independent de facto of South Ossetia and began to repeatedly bombshell Tskhinvali, the capital city.

2000 people, including 10 Russian peace-keepers were reported dead, while a number of civilians fled to Russia and North Ossetia as refugees. This invasion happened while the world’s attention was centered towards the Olympics.

The Russian envoy called for an emergency meeting in front of the U.N., afterward claiming that the actions Georgia took were qualified as genocide. Later that day, Russia retaliated to the aggression, by sending in tanks and aircrafts to the battlefield.

Georgian president Mikheil Saakashvili insisted that Russia is the aggressor in this conflict.

South Ossetia is a 90 percent Russian area that has wanted independence from Georgia since 1992. In 2006, the de facto independent republic held a referendum about the inde-pendence, to which 99 percent of the votes favored independence from Georgia.

On Aug 1, Georgian troops engaged fight-ing the South Ossetians, and on Aug 5, the Russian Ambassador warned that Russia would intervene if conflict intensified. On Aug 7, the Georgian President ordered a ceasefire to which he later said that he was committed

to restoring control over the “criminal regimes” of South Ossetia and Abkhazia.

This conflict is also sparking new internation-al politics and issues. The U.S. Ambassador to the U.N., Zalmay Khalilzad, condemned Russia by saying “The days of overthrow-ing leaders by military means in Europe -- those days are gone,” to which the Russian Ambassador replied “Regime Change is pure-ly an American term.” The U.S. and Israel are important to Georgia.

Georgia is the third largest force in Iraq and Israel has been sending Georgia heavy military weapons and aid. There is also a fear that Poland might be involved, because of recent U.S. missiles installed there that are capable of strik-ing Russia. Alongside all of that, Georgia is also consider-

ing joining NATO. President Bush responded to the conflict by

saying, “Russia has invaded a sovereign neigh-boring state and threatens a democratic gov-ernment elected by its people. Such an action is unacceptable in the 21st century.” He sent troops to the neighboring Caspian Sea. Both Presidential candidates, Obama and McCain, would like some kind of peace agreement involving NATO and the UN.

A ceasefire agreement was reached between Georgia and Russia on Aug 15, where Russian forces would be withdrawn from the South Ossetia region.

Russian President Vladamir Putin has since claimed that he believes America may have started the conflict for political reasons.

Revised 6/2008

Graduation is going to be easier for any student. Why? Because Washington

has decided we’re too dumb for the Math WASL. The plan was approved by lawmakers after being pushed by Governor Gregoire so that, until 2013, no student is

required to pass the math WASL, and, in addition the Science WASL. After 2013, students will need to take some alternative math test to prove their capabilities.

Personally, as a senior who passed the WASL anyway, I don’t really care too much about this WASL holiday. Let’s face it; we all talked about how annoying the WASL was anyway. All we did was stay inside the gym for hours, bored as hell, without an iPod or a book, spelling funny words on our calculators. Education at its finest. Right? I thought the only good part of that week was getting up late and delayed classes, That and using the time

confusion to sneak out of school. What’s sad about all of this is that only

56 percent of students actually passed the math portion.

When you take the WASL, you are at a desk with one other person facing you. Statistically speaking, one of you at that desk is going to fail.

So, what does Washington do? They drop the entire thing. Now more of us will graduate and it’ll make Washington look good in the process.

The thing that personally makes me a little ticked is that dropping the WASL basically gives us the message “Hey, you guys are too stupid to handle this thing. Come back in four years.”

Graduation and enrollment rates have also been dropping.

So, hey, why not cut the WASL too?As stated before, it’s not a really big issue

for a senior like me. And hey, I bet the freshmen are happy about this as well. This should be a bigger issue than I make it, but what can I say?

I’m totally passive about this entire thing.

Shahrum AliNews editor

“what’s sad about all of this is that only 56 percent of students actually passed the

math portion.”

Have you ever been to a youth group that has had very few people? With

church based youth groups on the decline many youth pastors are trying to capture the attention of the young kids.

The pressure is now on to have a church youth group that is not only fun, but better than the

rest. With the competition

between churches so high, some youth pastors are feeling the need to go to a whole new level. One church in Windsor Hills, Oklahoma, decided to sweeten the youth confer-ence experience, by pro-viding the winner of an event with a semi-automatic assault rifle.

In an interview Pastor Bob Ross said, “I don’t want people thinking ‘My goodness, we’re putting a weapon in the hand of somebody that doesn’t respect it who are then going to go out and kill.’”

He defended his tactics by saying all he wanted was to bring more youth to the event, and have a chance to share the word of God.

This gets one thinking, if these are new members to the church, then how does he know that the winner won’t be someone who doesn’t respect it, if these are new members to the church?

Many people, including myself, share a common thought: Why can’t the church find another way to reach the youth?

The intentions were clearly not to give the gun to a psycho teenager, but the church will not know where the gun is going to properly pre-dict future outcomes.

It is inappropriate for the church to distribute firearms, no matter how noble they believe their cause to be. Windsor Hills Baptist church did not end up giving away the gun this year

because the youth pastor was not able to attend.

The church has spent more than $800 getting this gun ready for the promotion and plan on giving it away at the youth conference next year.

“Many people, including myself, share a common thought: why can’t the

church find another way to reach the youth?”

A recent report put out by Human Rights Watch revealed that over 220,000 public school students in

the United States received corporal punishment during the 2006-2007 school year. Corporal punishment, the act of being physically harmed, is still legal in 21 states.

The fact that this is still allowed in the United States’ public schools is a disgraceful breach of human rights that should apply in full to minors as well as adults. Not only does this create an unhealthy learning environment, but it also advocates violence as an acceptable solution to social problems, perpetuating violent behavior amongst youth.

School is ultimately supposed to support a comfortable atmosphere in which kids can put aside social stigmas for the sake of knowledge. When a student comes to school fearing physically injurious retribution as a consequence for misbehaving, it makes it difficult for the child to suc-ceed academically. In addition, when a student witnesses or falls victim to corporal punishment (generally the use of wooden paddles to spank), they lose faith in author-ity. Teachers and administrators are supposed to be friendly support figures, not unwavering masters of dis-cipline. Furthermore, physical punishment by the hands

of faculty members takes away the safe-haven of school from students who suffer from domestic abuse or bully-ing outside of their education. High school students in abusive relationships can’t turn to equally abusive school authorities for help.

The issue of racial discrimination is also addressed in the 2006-2007 report. Boys were more often punished than girls, but African-American girls were punished more than twice as often as Caucasian girls. If faculty members are given the right to utilize corporal discipline then they are also given the right to misuse it. The prima-ry concern of school administration should be to teach, and nothing more.

Those who advocate corporal punishment believe it acts as a deterrent of misbehavior, disregarding the seri-ous physical, emotional, and mental toll it has on peo-ple, especially children. Instead of verbally discussing the misbehaviors of a student, and coming up with less aggressive and harmful solutions, administrators send a barbaric message. It certainly seems ridiculous (as an example) for someone who has been rear-ended in traffic to exit their vehicle and spank, with a wooden paddle, the driver responsible for the accident. With the exception of

a few murmurs of profanity, the exchange should consist of insurance information and formalities, not violence. It has been proven time and time again that children in abusive situations domestically are much more likely to become abusive later in life (according to the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention, one-third of children who are abused or neglected later abuse their own chil-dren). There is no reason to think this effect would be any less prominent in school. Violence is comparable to a cycle of addiction; the influence of violence in a house-hold is more likely to affect the child in that house to par-ent in a violent way.

Washington state is thankfully one of the 29 states and 106 countries that does not allow this practice in its public schools. While the practice of “spanking” is left up to the better judgment of parents, school administrators have no place taking their role.

If there is a problem with a student, the parents should be contacted and left to handle the behavior of their chil-dren by their own methods.

So you have had close to three months off and you have most likely spent little or no time thinking about

school until you absolutely have to. And that time is here—it is time to start think-ing about school again and the new year that is in front of you.

I am a big proponent of the “fresh start” philosophy. Each new school year is a chance to do it right or better than you did it the year before.

Maybe you did a great job and you have this “school thing” down to a science. You may not need much help, and that is great. Keep up the good work! But if you are one of those people for whom school did not go so well last year, then I would encour-age you to take some time and think about some of what I want to share with you.

One of the places where students who struggle in school experience difficulty is with the workload of high school:

homework, tests, projects, required reading. It can all really pile up, and you need to have a system for managing the workload. Whatever that system is, use it and find a way to manage the workload. Use a planner or write things down in your notebook. Develop a folder system in your binder, and make a point to spend some time each day review-ing what it is that you need to get done that day or that week. Then make a point to spend time each day actually doing the things that need to be done. I don’t mean to sound sarcastic, but that is an important step that often gets overlooked.

Students write things down and put papers in their bind-ers only to never look at them again. The work doesn’t get done, and consequently grades suffer. It is really a simple thing that many students make too complicated—write your assignments down, do the work and then turn it in to your teachers. It can be that simple.

Another reason that students struggle in school is that they are not involved in school. It is just a place where you have to go because all the adults in your life tell you so. But school doesn’t have to be such a negative place for you

if you find a way to get involved. We have athletic teams, drama, music, clubs—think of some way to get involved in school. Students who are involved in some aspect of their school life care more, and have more positive connections to school. It is this positive connection that helps students to be more successful.

You will learn some very important lessons from your friends and classmates, and in addition, you may find that you will gain additional independence and responsibility. You and your friends may experience some difficult and challenging things: choices that may not be healthy or helpful to you, and decisions about how and with whom to spend your free time. These kinds of decisions can be tough to deal with and sometimes we may need help in making these decisions. This is where your friends, par-ents, school counselors and teachers can help. You have a wealth of resources available to you. All you need to do is ask for help.

I want to wish each of you the very best that this new school year has to offer.

Here’s to a great 2008-2009!

Competing game consoles battle it out once again

By Brendan MoranHealth Co-Editor

If you’re talking about video games, the conversation inevitably revolves around at least one of the major gam-ing console producers in the world today; Microsoft of the United States, or Sony and Nintendo of Japan. Subjects of the video game industry love to claim their favorite system as dominant, be it Microsoft’s Xbox 360 with its fantastic online service, Sony’s Playstation 3 boasting Blu-Ray capability, or Nintendo’s Wii with a fully gyroscopic controller.

In terms solely of console sales, Nintendo appears to be storming the market. International sales for the Wii num-bered at just under 30 million at the end of July this year, the Xbox and Playstation trailing behind at 19 million and

14.41 million respectively. It is important to note, too, that the Wii was released an entire year later than the Xbox. The Wii doesn’t seem to be anywhere close to dethrone-ment either, selling more units in July than the Xbox and Playstation combined.

Some argue that numbers don’t reflect on true quality, and this is often times is the case. Both the PS3 and 360 boast more power in hardware than the Wii, which can’t play DVD movies or output in high-definition. The hard-ware specs seem to correlate directly to the prices, how-ever. The Wii will currently put you out $250. An Xbox 360 with a 20-gigabyte hard drive sells for $300, while a Playstation 3 with a 40-gigabyte hard drive and blu-ray support costs $400 [impressive considering that even the lowliest of standalone Blu-Ray players retail for almost $300.]

Microsoft and Sony have made it clear in numerous video game conferences and press releases that they do not consider the Wii to be in the same league as their consoles. That statement isn’t entirely unfair considering the vast differences in hardware, namely the Wii’s distinct control-ler design. Outside of the console war, Microsoft and Sony both seem to be doing poorly. Their stocks are both selling at only a few dollars above their 52-week lows of $24.87 and $36.90, respectively.

Each company has their pros and cons, and it’s still too early to call off the fight. The longer these systems stay on the market, the more their prices are cut and the more units they sell. Even years after these consoles are replaced with more advanced, next-generation systems, nerds every-where will undoubtedly still be arguing over which was better, regardless of sales, profits, or popularity polls.

On July 11, a commercial American Airlines plane successfully completed its flight from New York to California, equipped with a missile-repelling system.

The JetEye system, developed by the United Kingdom-based BAE Systems, is an infrared missile defense system that diverts shoul-der-fired missiles. It works by firing a laser once it detects heat-seeking missiles in order to divert it. “The flight represents the final phase of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s [or DHS] Counter-Man-Portable Air Defense System program,” written in the article “Passenger plane flies with laser sys-tem that repels missiles” on CNN.com “[It is] designed to test the suitability of missile-protection equipment for commercial air-craft.” The JetEye was developed in Jan. 2004 during the early phases of the Counter-Man-Portable Air Defense System program [also known as the Counter-MANPADS pro-gram.] It has received $105 million in fund-ing, and BAE Systems was recently awarded

a $29 million contract by DHS for a final suitability evaluation.

The purpose of JetEye being installed on a commercial flight is to counteract terrorist threats. Five hundred thousand to 700,000 shoulder-fired missile weapons have been manufactured worldwide, and sometimes sold for as little as $5,000 in Middle Eastern and Central Asian arms markets. BAE Systems has been working with American Airlines Maintenance and Engineering Services to test the system on commercial flights.

JetEye will also be installed in two more American Airlines 767-200 aircraft until March 2009 for daily cross-country flights, including FedEx and other cargo planes. Other defense companies, such as Northrop Grumman, have urged that the system be installed on commercial aircrafts that trans-port soldiers and equipment to war zones. American Airlines will not make this sys-tem mandatory, however they have agreed to cooperate with test flights. No missiles will be launched at the plane during the flights to test the system, however.

Get Involved It’s better to start something earlier than later. Join a club, activity, sport, anything! There are many opportunities to get involved There is almost anything for anyone. Just to name a few: ASB, Hip Hop, Eco club, French Club, HBN and, of course, Hawkeye. Just ask some questions, search and you will find some-thing that interests you. If you don’t find anything that you really want to do, you can always start your own club! Not only do colleges love it, but it gives you a sense of belonging and accomplishment. Start early and establish yourself.

Get Organized Get in the habit of using your planner to mark down dates, home-work assignments, etc. Always have pens, pencils, paper, and whatever your class requires on a daily basis. If you have a lot to carry around, get a locker and utilize it. Simple tips and a simple reminder, but get into a habit of being organized.

Pass your classes This is your easiest time academically. You can put in 70% effort and get away with at least a 3.0. Don’t become lazy and fail. The biggest folly you will face in your academic time is procrastinating. Learn to kill it early so you can make a good habit for the rest of your time at Terrace. While you’re at it, why not gain some easy honor credits? Keep a consistent work effort that will benefit you in your upperclassmen years.

Watch your company Don’t hang with the wrong crowd. Be yourself and choose your friends accord-ingly. As stupidly cliché as that sounds, it’s important. People will judge you for the people you hang out with. Their influence will rub off on you, so make sure it’s the right kind of rub. Avoid drama at all cases, it’s never worth it. Miss Nelson advised students last year that those who find the drama free friends are truly the lucky ones, and she’s right.

Befriend your teachers They don’t bite…too often. It will make your classes easier and maybe even a little more enjoy-able. It’s easier to ask your teachers about work if you actually get to know them and not just see them as information sources or grade machines. They’re still people. As you go on to your later years, your old teachers make excellent human recourses. Don’t be afraid to ask them for help. Usually they are willing to lend you any assistance you need for the most part, and they even say some cool stuff now and then!

You’re still Freshmen Nothing annoys upperclassmen more than cocky freshmen. Don’t block the hallways, don’t go picking for a fight, and NEVER EVER even TRY to tag an upper-classmen. Ever. Any play on the word freshmen with the word “Fresh” or “Freshies” is an automatic no-no.

Hey Freshmen! Welcome to the MTHS game of LIFE. Work your way around the board to get an idea of life here, “survival” tips, and things to watch out for. Play along and maybe you will learn something interesting about your new school. Good luck!

Sunscreen and Vitamin D Your body’s natural safeguard or synthetic protection?By Vanessa CheaPhoto Manager

As you walk out of your home you start to feel the nice hot, sun shining and warm-ing up your skin on a summer’s day, but do you put sunscreen on? Sunscreen is a great alternative to protect you from the harmful ultraviolet rays that can damage your skin, but did you also know vitamin D, the nutrient that come from fish oil, can also protect your skin? Interesting as it sounds; you are probably thinking, “Is vitamin D better than sunscreen?” Here are some pretty interesting facts about sunscreen, vitamin D and the role they can play on your body.

SunscreenSunscreen is a substance that formulates to help protect your skin while being exposed

to heavy doses of ultra violet rays. Sunscreen can also protect your skin from sunburns, skin cancers, and other conditions that are caused by excessive exposure to the sun. But how does sunscreen really work on your skin? When sunscreen is absorbed into your skin, the sunscreen reflects the ultra violet rays that would otherwise soak in and harm your skin. Do you understand the acronym SPF? SPF stands for Sun Protection Factor; it is the effectiveness of preparing to go out and tan to protect skin from the harmful ef-fects of the sun. One of the sun’s harmful effects is ultra violet radiation, this effect can create types of skin cancer. SPF is rated on a scale to 2 to 15 , which means the higher the SPF number, the greater the risk of not getting skin cancer. The higher the SPF the more you will not develop skin cancer, sunburn, or any other sun exposure conditions.

What is Vitamin D, exactly?Vitamin D is one of the several fat-soluble, antirachitic vitamins D1, D2, and D3. You

can find vitamin D in milk and fish-liver oils, which involves both cod and halibut. vita-min D can also be obtained by treating pro-vitamin D with ultraviolet light; vitamin D is essential for the forming of normal teeth and bones. What does vitamin D have to do with the sun really? Vitamin D has the nutrients to help skin and bones become stronger and stay healthy. Without vitamin D your bones would not be so strong and your skin would be more susceptible to cancer and burns.

The best solutionWe now know that vitamin D has the nutrients to keep your bones and teeth strong

and keep your skin nice and healthy, and we’ve also learned that the number increased in SPF can protect you from the effects of the sun’s harmful rays. Which do you think is best? Both are the best actually, you see, you have your vitamin D to protect your insides from the sun and then you have the sunscreen to protect you from the outside from the sun. Both sunscreen and Vitamin D help you stay healthy and helps you enjoy the sun.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 76 million cases of food poisoning occur annually in United States. Of those, approximately 300,000 result in hospitalizations, and 5,000 in death.

The term “food poisoning” describes illnesses caused by eating unsanitary food or

drinking water that is contaminated. Some of these food are raw meat, raw eggs, chick-en, and raw fruits and vegetables. Meats are contaminated from containing bacteria or parasites. It spreads during slaughtering, when some parts of the infected meat gets onto other meat. Fruits and vegetables are contaminated when they are exposed to the in-fected animal’s manure or washed with contaminated water, or touched by the infected animal. The E. coli O157:H7, salmonella, and campylobacter bacteria cause the most cases of food poisonings.

The primary carrier of E. coli O157:H7 are cattle. Consuming food or water contacted by the infected cattle can in turn result in further infection. It often leads to bloody diar-rhea, stomach cramps, and little or no fever. Symptoms usually appear 3 to 4 days after getting the infection. In 3% to 5% cases of this infection, E. coli O157:H7 leads to hemo-lytic uremic syndrome, or HUS. This damages both the kidney and blood vessels.

Salmonella derives from the intestines of birds, reptiles, and mammals. The symptoms of this infection are fever, diarrhea, and stomach cramps. There was a recent outbreak of salmonella linked to raw tomatoes, jalapeno peppers, and cilantro from New Mexico and Texas. It was between the months of April to July. In Washington, 11 people were infected.

It is believed that campylobacter is the “most commonly identified bacterial cause of diarrheal illness in the world.” It is mostly from raw meat and healthy birds. People with this infection get fever, diarrhea, and stomach cramps. The most frequent source for get-ting campylobacter is from raw chicken.

Normally, the food poisoning goes away on its own after a couple of days. It is strongly recommended to keep drinking water. Saying hydrated will not only help you recover more quickly but will make you feel much better a well. On the other hand, it is sug-gested to avoid eating solid food, alcohol, caffeinated or sugary drinks. Sport drinks, such as Gatorade, should be diluted with water before drinking. If seeking for medication, you should go and consult a doctor.

To prevent from getting food poisoning, common sense should be used. Wash your hands, dishes, and utensils as thoroughly as possible. Cook your meat until it is no longer pink (although the flavor you will rob from your delicious meal is criminal in the minds of some). You should also wash your vegetables and fruits well. Drink fruit juices that are pasteurized, and also avoid drinking the ocean, lake, pond and other bodies of water. Those are some simple steps to keeping yourself away from food poisoning.

Although many steps have been taken to prevent the contamination of food, there are questions that still remain unanswered. Some of these are: how can people get rid of animal manure usefully, without endangering the food supply? How can food and water the animal takes in be made safer? Also, would food safety education help decline more cases of food poisoning? These are questions prompted by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Welcome back, Terrace!

What’d you do this summer? By the time you read this you might be sick of answering that question, especially if you had an uneventful

summer like I did. I didn’t travel anywhere interesting, unless Forks is a happening place. And, I didn’t have any life changing events, unless cleaning out my storage shed counts. Not very exciting.

Here’s what I did do…•Saw a lot of movies… my fave was “Tropic Thunder”•Made a lot of art•Spent time with my friends and family•Got bit by a dog (mangy mutt!)•Read some great books•Skinned a bear (sorry vegetarians)•Went to the gym several times a week

... and that’s it, just relaxed and had a good time. Sometimes vacations aren’t about wild adventures. Sometimes they are just about feeding your soul and refreshing yourself for a new year.

By taking a “snapshot” of the eye’s retina, a team of researchers at the University of Michigan has discovered a way to detect diabetes and macular degeneration in a person as soon as 10 years before they’re officially diag-nosed.

This device, developed by doctors Victor Elner and Howard Petty, can identify dying cells, monitor blood sugar, and check for other signs of metabolic stress in the retina. Diabe-tes is a disease that affects the body’s metabolism, and diabetic retinopa-thy, the leading cause to blindness, is a common complication of Diabetes. The detection of dying cells could help doctors catch the disease, and other diseases that affect the eyes, in its early stages and monitor its pro-gression before diabetic retinopathy occurs. Identifying dying cells in a patient’s eyes also could help monitor the patient as early as 10 years before they become diagnosed with macular degeneration, which is the leading cause of blindness in the elderly.

With this device, doctors could even monitor whether the diabetic

treatments are even helping get rid of diabetes. This device works by us-ing “a sophisticated camera system coupled with customized imaging software to detect fluorescence given off by oxidized proteins in dying cells in the retina,” wrote Anna Davison in her online article “An Eye Test For Diabetes on Technology Review”. The system basically captures an image of the eye to measure its “flavopro-tein autofluorescence (FA), which is thought to be a reliable indicator of eye trouble,” wrote Steven Reinberg in HealthDay News. It’s possible to ex-pand the use of screening technology to identify people with both diabetes and pre-diabetes.

The test takes about a minute, and costs only $20. While it is still await-ing federal approval and further study, this could possibly be a much easier alternative to some diabetes detection devices once it has been fully devel-oped. This new technology could also be used to help detect other afflictions and diseases in their early stages, and is currently continuing to be studied. Elner, one of the two developers, has started a company to make it available for the public.

The answer to this question is yes. Fruits contain vitamins and naturally occurring chemicals that release endor-phins that help the body function prop-erly. An apple a day really does keep the doctor away, at least when it comes to acid reflux pains. Apples temporarily relieve acid reflex pain, the juices sooth the pain as they are digested.

Bananas are proven to help cure in-somnia. Fruit flies have similar sleeping habits that humans do and the same potassium intake levels; therefore the fruit fly was the perfect contestant.

Tests have proven that potassium in-take in fruit flies causes gentler sleep and a more consistent sleep cycle. Scientist found that potassium in the blood flow helps to regulate sleeping patterns.

Oranges contain a high concentration level of Vitamin C, therefore are great immune system booster. Oranges also reduce iron intake and the risk of can-

cer causing agents entering the body with its high content of folic acids. Furthermore oranges are well know for soothing feverish people.

Lemons, a close relative of oranges, are considered the Super Healer among all fruit. Romans revered lemons and used them as ingredient in most antidotes. The lemon works so well because it is a diuretic, which means it speeds up the urination cycle that cleanses the body of harmful toxins. Lemon juice is also known to speed up wound restoration.

For future oriented students or cau-tious adults, a spoonful of lemon juice per day is said to lower blood pressure, lower cholesterol, and is a nerve seda-tive therefore less wrinkles and grey hairs to worry about. Like its brother the orange, the lemon reduces the risk of cancer with its high concentration of vitamin C and folic acids. When lemon juice is combined with hot water (tea perhaps?) it can cure nausea, heart-burn, indigestion, upset stomach, diar-rhea (much like Pepto-Bismol!) worm infestations of the lower intestines, bloating, and belching.

FACT OR FICTION?

Is it true that fruits can cure or help people with health problems?

Jazz I and Chamber Winds take on Europe

By Robina Hamman A&E Editor

While it was a hot evening last month, it was the music and not the weather that had things cooking in the Theater.

Jazz Ensemble I capped off their fifth annual summer workshop with another fantastic concert. During the week leading up to the concert, director Darin Faul and Jazz I got together to get better as a band and get a bit of a jump start on the school year.

With the aid of some local professional musicians, the band was able to put togeth-er eight pieces for their performance.

It was a night full of solos, features and lively music. There were two section fea-tures during the concert – one song fea-tured the trombone section and another the saxophone section. Both features were spectacular performances with full, rich sound. There were two individual features during the concert, one by Kelsey Van Dalfsen on alto saxophone and the other by Jesse Anderson on trombone.

Although it is not unusual for profession-als to play with Jazz I from time to time, it came as a slight surprise to see saxophonist, Steve Treseler, who as it turned out, was in for Joel Jewett since Joel was not able to make it to the performance due to family matters. The concert sounded like an all around success.

However, Jazz I was not the only group that had a summer concert at the school. Chamber Winds had also taken the time to meet for a workshop and put together some songs for a concert at the end of their week of hard work.

Even though Jazz I and Chamber Winds had put in a week’s worth of hard work

in August, both groups were also in Europe in July, with a total of seven per-formances in France and Switzerland. Jazz I and Chamber Winds performed in the Luxembourg Garden in Paris first and pre-ceded to make their way to Vienne. Once there, Jazz I played in the Vienne Jazz Festival. Following the Vienne Jazz Festival, both Jazz I and Chamber Winds were able to view the Maria Schneider Orchestra and Sonny Rollins performances. Some of the band members got the opportunity to talk with members of the Maria Schneider Orchestra afterwards.

After their time in France, Jazz I and Chamber Winds moved on to Montreaux, Switzerland for the Montreaux Jazz Festival, which Jazz I participated in at Chateau de Chillon near Lake Geneva. Chamber Winds last played at the Music Pavilion on Lake Luzern. Unfortunately, the weather that day was not exactly favorable during the performance. “The performance started with some light rain, but by the middle, it was pouring. People were standing under the trees,” said Colin Diltz. Despite the weather, the show went on.

There was quite a bit of work that had gone into making the Europe trip for Jazz I and Chamber Winds possible. Both groups had started their practicing before school got out and they continued on into the summer with night practices and Saturday mornings.

Chamber Winds and Jazz I finished off their practices with a concert before leaving for Europe.

The year looks quite promising for both Jazz I and Chamber Winds. They have put in a summer of hard work and it already sounds like it will pay off.

England’s Eddie Izzard rocks the ParamountBy Sammie Clark and Kathryn GoddardHawkeye Staff

Enormously popular British comedian, Eddie Izzard, is known as much for his cross-dressing as he is for his intense social observations. He is one of the most unpre-dictable and creative performers to have graced the stage and screen. With his unique comedic style, he constantly keeps viewers coming back for more.

He was born Feb. 7, 1962 in Aden, Yemen, but was raised in England. He attended boarding school in England after his mom died when he was 6, and has incorporated vari-ous life experiences in his routines. However, he mostly however brings his knowledge of other things to the table. He focuses on subjects such as world history, religion, sexuality, and pop culture. Izzard notes himself as a “male lesbian”, for using cross-dressing in his routines sometimes. Izzard often uses a stream of consciousness style when speaking in his routines. When discussing religion, Eddie

utilizes a James Mason impression while portraying God, and Sean Connery as Noah from the Bible.

Izzard started stand-up comedy in 1993 with his first stage appearance in London’s West Side with the rou-tine “Eddie Izzard: Live at the Ambassadors”. He earned an Oliver award for the routine, and went on to win two Emmy awards for Best Acting and Best Writing in a com-edy, musical, or variety special.

Eddie has also crossed over from stand-up comedy to various films. His first film was in 1996, with Bob Hoskins and Robin Williams in “The Secret Agent”. He is most known for appearances in films, including “Ocean’s Twelve”, “Ocean’s Thirteen,” “Across the Universe,” and “The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian.”

Eddie completed his latest comedy tour last month enti-tled Eddie Izzard: Stripped. On July 11 and 12, he came to the Paramount Theatre in Seattle to perform. Izzard did put on a bit of eyeliner, but he chose to wear men’s

clothing instead of his usual choice of women’s. He began the routine with a bit of Seattle history that he looked up previously on his iPhone. Upon telling the crowd this, he went on a tangent about today’s technology along with its ups and downs.

As usual he interestingly performed in his act satiri-cal rambles of history, anthropology, and religion, among other topics like American football and politics.

He gracefully hops and skips through each topic with ease as he does things such as mull over the escape strat-egy of a giraffe, right alongside discussing the challenges of having a conversation in Latin to convey time-sensitive information, or to describe an elephant to someone who has never seen one before.

It is no wonder why the show sold out almost imme-diately. Eddie Izzard is a creative genius that delights any who listen. With his intelligent humor Eddie Izzard is sure to create an enjoyable time for everyone.

BEST OFF CAMPUS LUNCH

Kayla CooperFeature Editor

Go online now to www.thehawkeye.orG to rate and post your opinion about these three off-campus options

Teriyaki garden

One of the closest restau-rants to the school isTeriyaki Garden. For your money the amount of food you get is actually pretty good. A lunch special is $5.45 and comes with rice, meat, gyoza, salad, and a drink. The owners are friendly and there is an overall good atmosphere. Teriyaki Garden is the only real restaurant that you can call ahead and order to go which is especially useful for students trying to get there in back in the short lunch period.

Teriyaki Garden has great food But sometimes it is time consuming to sit and wait for it to be cooked. However, you at least know you are eating food that has just been prepared. The prices are reason-able, I usually get the lunch special which includes teri-yaki chicken, rice, and a small salad. That all costs $4.45 and they do put a decent amount of food for your mon-eys worth. I always get full even when my friends are taking bites. The person that works there whenever I go always seems to be nice so that’s always good.

Teriyaki Garden has all your usual Teriyaki items but it doesn’t stop there. They pro-vide a number of ways to try to get more vegetables as well as meat alternatives. Best of all, they know how to cook; resulting in dishes of higher than average quality for the price. However, the word on the street is that that quality might be slipping, especially in the veggie tofu department. Hopefully that was a one time mis-take and not a sign of things to come. It does, however, keep it from getting a fourth star at this time.

Subway Although it is a bit fur-ther away from the school, Subway is one of the best choices for off campus lunch. With $5 footlong sandwiches you get a lot of food for your money, and you can still feel good about what you ate. Eating off campus lunch often can really drain your wallet, but Subway makes it a little easier with their rewards card. Eventually you can earn enough points for a free lunch or a drink, making Subway the lunch experience that gives back.

Subway is awesome. The food is healthy and you get to watch it being made. The thing I like most about subway is that I can choose whatever I want to be on it for a good price. I can always eat it no matter what sport I am in since usually there are some restrictions, but it is allowed. Subway sandwiches are also made very fast and you get to take it as soon as they are finished putting together your sandwich. They only down point I can think of would be that it is crowded most of the time so you have to wait in a line. But it usu-ally doesn’t take much time, like I said they are fast.

Despite occasional changes to the menu and about a million different ways to combine bread, cheese, and veggies, eating at Subway can get...boring. But when you want to make sure you’re eating a healthy lunch and want to watch the bank account while you’re at it Subway and its 5 dollar foot long subs are the way to go. Unlike Pizza Man, which has no seat-ing, and Teriyaki Garden, which is often packed, seating is almost always available at Subway. So if you want to study with your friends for that upcoming math test and grab a meal, Subway is the place to go.

Pizza Man

Featuring $1 slices Pizza Man prides itself on being the cheapest eat around… and that’s what you get. Like most pizza places, Pizza Man produces overly greasy and large slices that don’t have much to them. Its okay for a quick lunch eat every once and awhile, but as far as off campus lunch goes, it’s not worth it to walk so far when your pretty much just getting school pizza.

Pizza man has delicious pizza. Its nice that they can sell it in slices if you are just buying for one. The service is very fast. Usually as soon as you order your slice they give it to you. It takes longer when order-ing a whole pizza, but that is understandable. I like pizza man mainly because it is close to our school and it is accessible. I have never had a bad experience with them. The only thing that is not so good is that it is not always the healthy choice. But eating in moderation is fine.

Cheap, cheap, cheap - that’s the draw of Pizza Man. Take, for example, the one dol-lar lunch slices. You get to choose from a whopping two choices: cheese or pepperoni. Perfect if you snuck off campus for lunch, realized you only had two dollars in your pocket and need to get back to school pronto. But not so perfect if you want some variety or are trying to eat healthily. Luckily, pizza is one food that most of seem to never get sick of, so Pizza Man will always be an option.

Two Hawks and a bag of popcorn

By Robina HammanA&E Editor

A father learns the importance of thinking about others and the impact his choices in life has on other people. That was the impression I was left with while walking out of the movie theater after viewing “Swing Vote”.

The story takes place in the sub-urbs of Texaco, New Mexico. Bud (Kevin Costner), a divorced father to his daughter Molly (Madeline Carroll), hasn’t been one to vote and get caught up in political hullabaloo. Molly on the other hand strongly believes that her father should take advantage of his right to vote for leaders and on impor-tant issues that effect the country and even the world. So, she made a bold leap and registered her father as a voter and proceeds to tell him on the way to school one morning while he is dealing with a slight hangover. At this point in the film, I don’t have much respect for Bud and his principles, putting alcohol before his daughter.

Bud was supposed to meet Molly after work to go vote, but gets drunk and passes out in his truck instead. Here, Molly takes matters into her own hands and tries to vote for her father, but the vote it turns out did not get counted. From here on, the film goes on to show how the two presidential candidates do whatever they can to win Bud’s vote over the next 10 days before he recasts his vote. This part of the film seemed to

drag on and on and quickly developed a bit of a monotone feel to the plot. Only two scenes redeemed the film slightly: when Molly ran away to try to live with her mom and when Bud stopped caring about all of the media attention he was getting and realized that he really could make a difference I might have tried to find someone that had a more scruffy appearance to play Bud than Kevin Costner, but he did okay.

By Holly IronsHawkeye Staff

Kevin Costner stars in the new movie “Swing Vote” as Bud Johnson, an unem-ployed father who ends up having the one vote to choose the winner of the presidential election. An alcoholic egg inspector from New Mexico, he ends up becoming the center of the presses attention when they find out his vote was uncounted. It seems like such a

long stretch for Touchstone Pictures to use the idea of an election com-ing down to one vote, but they end up making it momentarily plausible. Molly, (Madeline Carroll) is the daugh-ter of Bud Johnson. In the first scene, it’s apparent that she’s trying to be loyal to her dad, even if he’s too hung over to take her to school. Yet on that same day she tries to convince him to go vote due to the fact it’s Election Day. Bud blows it off, getting laid off from his job, get-ting drunk (again), and passing out, all in a days work. Molly ends up waiting at the polling building, where Bud said he would meet her on time; of course, he is late, but gets his vote in nonetheless. Strangely, his vote is not counted. From a satirical show of the press swarming in and permanently camping in front of Bud’s trailer to the Presidential can-didates bending over backwards for his vote, Bud ends up doing whatever his daughter doesn’t find embarrassing

At times, this movie moves at a snail’s pace. At other times, it moves so quickly that it leads you wonder how he learned to become a diplomat in only a week. Though the candidates do not end up talking about important issues beyond how they would bribe Bud, it doesn’t keep Bud from finding out who to vote for. Even though the ending is not what is to be expected, “Swing Vote” does show what could happen, all in a days work.

The Hawks offensive line gets ready for the next play during a summer practice. The first game is Friday against the Lynnwood Royals at Edmonds Stadium where the entire roster will be seeking payback for last year’s 28-7 loss. Kickoff for the home opener is set for 5 p.m.

VolleyballBy Derek GilesSports Editor

Terrace volleyball is sitting pretty as they gaze into the outlook of the 2008 season. Banking on the fact that they are only losing three seniors and the top teams in WesCo South are graduating several seniors, the prospect of having a great sea-son seems very high.

Even with this though, consistency is going to have to be the theme of the year and the Hawks will have to play up to their potential game in and game out.

If the Hawks can keep the consisten-cy theme up, there isn’t a single team in WesCo South that can’t be beat – includ-ing powerhouses Kamiak, Shorecrest and Edmonds-Woodway.

Anchoring the team down will be seniors Meagan Brown, Kori Seidlitz and Tiffany Staley with standout juniors Raechel Pendergraft and Jenna Donohue helping with the leadership on the squad.

In the first game of the year the Hawks will be seeking revenge against a Jackson team that barely came out on top in last season’s only meeting.

The match is at Jackson 7 p.m. on Sept. 11.

Cross CountryBy Derek GilesSports Editor

As is tradition for the Hawks Cross Country team, the team is gearing up for another successful season where expecta-tions are high and goals even higher.

Last year’s season ended in heartbreak when they took fifth place at the Northwest District, which ousted their state chances by a single placing.

This year though, the team plans other-wise and full focus is going to be paid on making it to state.

“Go to state!” As eloquently put by senior

Captain Matt Watson is what he had to say when asked what his personal goals are and what his goals for the team are.

For the Hawks to make a visit to state, Watson said, “This year we’re looking for our juniors to step it up and compete. Michael O’Neil, Ben Miller, Jake Howell as well as seniors Art Segami and Jonathan Cheever.”

“Jackson and Snohomish are going to be the toughest competitors,” commented Watson.The first meet is the Edmonds District Invite Sept. 13 at Edmonds Stadium at 8 a.m.

Men’s TennisBy Kayla CooperFeature Editor

The men’s tennis team is recovering from the loss of their long time coach Gigi Johnson. New coach Alberto Ramirez hopes “to have a successful season.”

Ramirez was formerly the JV team’s coach, and the team members support his new position.

“He’s a really good guy who knows the game well. He will help you if you are struggling with something,” said junior Jack Carrick.

The team captains for this year are junior Joe Kim and senior Brett Musavage.

Tryouts were on Aug. 25, and ever since the team has been on a strenuous two hour daily practice regimen which includes a warm-up of jogging, running lines, drills of all the possible shots. The rest of the practice time is dedicated to challenge matches.

“I’m still evaluating the new guys, so I’m using the challenge matches to see who gets bumped up to varsity,” coach Ramirez said.

The team will continue preparing for their first match on Monday, Sept. 8.

The varsity squad will be playing at Glacier Peak while the JV team will defend their home court.

Women’s SoccerBy Derek GilesSports Editor

After a surprisingly disappointing 5-10-1 season last year, the women’s soccer team will be in rebuild mode. With 10 seniors leaving it will be up to the young guns to fill the shoes left by the graduated seniors.

Seniors Amanda Berry, Becky Bradlee, Titi Chikoore and Kylie Hollenbeck will be the only seniors from last year’s squad and will have to lead the scoring charge for the Hawks as all four of these seniors play offensive positions.

Junior defenders Corinne Pingul, Amy Deller and Ali Christman will be expected to hold it down defensively while juniors Ariana DeBoo and Teryn Bouche are antic-ipated to step up and prove themselves as established scorers for the Hawks.

It will be crucial this year for the Hawks not to beat themselves and convincingly beat teams like Lynnwood and Mariner.

On the other side of things, the Hawks will need to step up against teams like Kamiak and Shorewood.

The Hawks first game is Tuesday, Sept. 9 at 7 p.m. at Edmonds Stadium against Glacier Peak.

Women’s SwimmingBy Tanner GregoryCopy Editor

While many of the rest of us were sitting in the last days of summer’s sun, the wom-en’s swim team had already begun prepar-ing for their season.

“Practices have just started and it has started off great,” Co-Captain Michelle Liu said. The team began practice on Monday, August 25.

The girls swim team is focused around meeting their goals. Many of these goals

are specifically individual, but there are a number of team goals as well.

For most of the team qualifying for com-petition at state would be not only amazing but an honor. Some swimmers have their sights set on other contests as well.

Both current captains, Liu and Shadee Semana competed in the district finals last year, in which swimmers from around the region compete in skill-specific events.

In addition to a host of additional return-ing swimmers, and three-year coach Ashli Black, the team is adding eight new swim-mers to the roster.

They are Savannah Davies, Hunter Goncalves, Katelan Guinn, Elizabeth Phippen, Alexandra Romanowski, Alyssa Kier, and Erin Vance.

Liu and Semana were both elected to their current positions as co-captains at the end of last season.

FootballBy Amanda LockleerTech Editor

Last year the Hawks ended their football season with an unfortunate 1-9 record. But this year, they have different plans.

“Everybody wants to win. But you have to do a lot of hard work in order to win, and this year we have a team that is willing to put in that work and win our games,” junior and varsity lineman Wesley Dawn said.

The Hawks have been practicing, train-ing and building on last year all summer. Seniors Billy Lechtenberg, Paul Clingan and Derrik Larsen will be the leaders on the team.

There is though, a lack of seniors, and the Hawks will rely on younger players to get the job done.

Their football team’s first game is at 5 p.m. Friday, Sept. 5 at Edmonds Stadium against the Royals of Lynnwood.

Then shortly after the season opener, the always exciting Homecoming game will be held on Oct. 3 at Edmonds Stadium against Cascade High School.
