Transcript of Welcome to the Scuttlebutt - Delaware Military Academy Scuttlebutt Issue 1...family celebrates...
J ANUARY 2 0 1 6 - F I R S T ED I T I ON
Welcome to the Scuttlebutt With inspiration from Mrs. Bradley in English class, and assistance from Mrs. Faccenda and a small army of cadets,
it is our pleasure to introduce to you our first full school newspaper, the Scuttlebutt. Our goal throughout this newspaper
will be to allow students to express some creativity on paper, update students and parents on school happenings, and
create an entertaining read.
Our first staff has been kept small in the hopes of allowing our first run through this crazy process to be a little
simpler, but in the future we hope to open up the Scuttlebutt to every type of student and writer interested in putting in
some elbow grease. The Scuttlebut will be both a place for the reader and the writer.
In our initial meetings everyone wanted to accomplish a few big things. Our first is to publish an edition every month,
be it in print or PDF available online. Described as a little ambitious by our wonderful advisor, Mrs. Faccenda, we
decided that there was nothing we could do but rise to that challenge, and intend to do that all year long.
We also hope to create something outside of the ordinary school newspaper. The Scuttlebutt will not just be about
school news, sports, lunches, and other daily happenings. Instead you will find a wide variety of selections inside these
pages. Our goal has been to create a “newspaper” that would cater to every type of person, their interests, and their
ideal reading material. From fiction pieces, to a comic, to news, to opinions, to horoscopes, recipes, and more, the
Scuttlebutt is meant to be a place for students to enjoy putting together a truly enjoyable piece of literature.
It is our immense hope that you read through the hard work of the various staffers (listed under their articles and at
the end) and enjoy the fruits of our labor. Our thanks as well to Mrs. Faccenda for her help, Mr. Pulella for his support,
and to everyone on the Scuttlebutt staff.

BEHINDTHE WIN
Our First DIAA State Championship!
This past November, DMA history was made. On November 16th, the girls volleyball team defeated Archmere to
win DMA’s first DIAA state championship ever. It the a perfect ending to the perfect season, as the team finished 160.
When Jacqualine Shields slammed the final ball over the net and onto the floor at the Bob
Carpenter Center, the atmosphere was electric. The thunderous sound of the corps of cadets cheering for their team
could be heard throughout the entire gym. It was a night everyone there will never forget.
Throughout the season, the team grew stronger, and it was clear that this goal wasn’t just accomplished simply by
showing up. I caught up with senior captain Cassie Kowalski to ask her a few questions. When asked how the team
prepared for the championship, Cassie responded by saying, “We worked really hard every practice to build our team
chemistry throughout the season.” Going into the game the girls knew they had a chance to make history for the
program and for DMA. “We looked back on our first week of preseason where we set the goal of winning the
championship.” All that team chemistry helped their goal, and they were crowned state champions. When I asked
Cassie how it felt to be crowned a state champion, she said “It is an unbelievable feeling, knowing that all of the hard
work we put in all season has finally paid off.”
This team will forever go down in DMA history as the school’s first DIAA state championship team. It was a
season the girls will never forget and the highlight of a special fall season for all the athletic teams. The girls look to
continue their dominance next year, as they will have 14 players returning, including now twotime Gatorade Player of
the Year, Sydney Fulton.
Congratulations girls and good luck to all teams for the rest of the year!

DMA HolidayTraditions
Different cultures celebrate the holidays in many ways. But you might besurprised that although the holiday may be named something different orcelebrated for another reason, the winter holidays are quite similar. I had theopportunity to interview cadets on how their families celebrate the holidays. The holidays covered are Hanukkah, Diwali, and Christmas. I interviewed senior Alex Weiner and junior Carter Klassman on Hanukkahtraditions. Hanukkah is the festival of lights and is celebrated for eight nightsby the Jewish people. On each of those nights, the menorah is lit. DuringHanukkah, families often play a game called dreidel for chocolate coins andgo around the neighborhood looking at Christmas lights. Many Jewishfamilies also enjoy listening to Christmas music during Hanukkah. A fun factis that Jewish children receive presents on all eight days of Hanukkah;therefore, hopefully, they receive eight times the presents! For information about Diwali, I interviewed junior Sowmya Janaki, whosefamily celebrates Diwali as well as Christmas. Also a festival of lights, Diwaliis celebrated by Hindus in India. During the Diwali celebration, Hindus prayto their gods at home and light little lanterns called “dheepums.” Then, manyfamilies will go to the Hindu temple to light fireworks. In India, children willplay with sparklers and fireworks on the streets. Many sweet treats areenjoyed during Diwali. In junior cadet Gabby Migdalski’s family, Polish customs are put intopractice during the holidays. On Christmas Eve, a large spread of 12different foods is consumed. These foods usually include salads, soups,vegetables, and fish. Interesting to note, meat is not allowed to be eatenduring this dinner. Prior to the dinner, there is a tradition that a piece ofcommunion bread is passed around the table. Each guest breaks off a pieceof bread to give to the next person and wishes that person good luck andblessings for the New Year. In my family, we have a mix of different traditions from three differentcultures since my dad is Filipino and my mom is IrishGerman. OnChristmas Eve, we decorate the Christmas tree which is a tradition thatderives from Germany. After we attend midnight mass at our local Catholicparish. Then, my dad hands out candles to each of my siblings and I to placein the windows in order to welcome the Holy Family. This tradition of placingcandles in the windows is Irish. Similar to the candle tradition, is the hangingof the parol. A parol is a lighted star made from capis shells which comesfrom the Philippines. It is also hung to welcome the Holy Family. For ourfamily, Christmas is a time to reflect on the love and joy that the Christ Childbrings. As you can gather, the holidays are unique in their own special way. Butwhen you look at the holidays as a whole, it all comes down to lights, joy,and feasting together; which means we are all really quite similar. So respectone another’s traditions and enjoy the holidays! Happy Hanukkah, HappyDiwali, and Merry Christmas!

1. Get lots of rest. Yes, something that is increasinglymore difficult to do nowadays, but nonetheless importantto function at your full potential. Turn off devices, set workaside, and get your necessary allotted time frame to befully recharged.2. Get the ball rolling with a very small task. Startingoff with small, less intimidating tasks will make it easier toface and finish your workload.3. Or, try a timer trick. Plan to do 5 or 10 minutes on a particular task and soon enough you’ll realize it’s notas hard to finish once you get started.4. Ask someone to hold you accountable. If you needto ask for a little help staying focused and accomplishingyour goals for the day, do it.
5. Split your day up into parts for different tasks andmake a clear division between your home and yourwork/school day. Maybe drive to the local coffee shop orgo for a jog in between to make the next part of your dayfeel fresher.6. Do the things you have been procrastinating on itwill make you much less stressed. Break down big tasksinto more manageable pieces to avoid being overwhelmedif need be. 7. Create a "to do" list and prioritize. Having so manythings floating around in you head can cause more anxietythan necessary. Write it down and conquer one thing at atime.8. Do not multitask it’s never quicker! Don’t havesocial media sites open in the background in order to goback to them from time to time. It’s hard to do, especiallywhen work can be monotonous or hard to understand butthat’s what breaks are for!9. Speaking of which, don’t forget to take a break torejuvenate every now and again. It’s always good to relaxand refocus!

Getting MotivatedAfter Holiday Break
Topic of the Month
In Seoul, South Korea they are facing this monsoon
season in a whole new way. The paint company
Pantone and designers Seunghoon Shin, Yoonshin Kim
and Nu Ri Kim (affiliated with School of the Art Institute
of Chicago) teamed up for Project Monsoon to bring
more color to this rainy season. With the use of
hydrochromatic paint, which is invisible until it becomes
wet, they turned grey streets into explosions of radiant
whales, turtles, and fish, among other creations. The
artists have said this is "inspired by South Korea's
culture of emphasizing the importance of the flow of
rivers, the paintings utilize Korea's topographical
features that create a flow and puddle of rain water in
every street to fill the streets with color and life." The art
covering this capital city is definitely giving citizens
something to look forward to this year!

Can a Good CandidatePlease Stand?
Republicans and Democrats can unite in the coming
year under one dispiriting banner: A mutual disdain for
almost all of their presidential candidates. When I hear
fellow cadets discuss the coming election, I always
notice an identical pattern. The conversation is short,
dull, and filled with animosity towards, well, everyone.
No one jumps up and yells about how great Jeb Bush
or Hillary Clinton are, and barely anyone has picked an
individual they can even tolerate.
This is phenomenon is not limited to DMA or
Delaware, and is not new either. The leading
candidates for both parties have approval ratings so far
in the negatives that it feels as though it would be hard
to find anyone in support of them. Donald Trump is
rated negatively by 60% of Americans, followed closely
by Hillary Clinton at 57% according to PoliticsUSA. In
fact, the only individual with a net positive approval
rating is Bernie Sanders out of the entire field of
presidential candidates.
I always wonder what the point of a democracy is if
we can’t seem to elect anyone we like, and in the end I
find myself blaming the voters, not the candidates,
unlike most Americans. Maybe it is our fault for
expecting perfection, or analyzing every word and outfit
choice of anyone running for office. Perhaps we can’t
even be bothered to listen long enough to see that
some of them have actual ideas or, god forbid, a brain.
It is however, most significantly our fault for allowing
it. At the end of the day, on November 6th of next year,
Americans will get a choice. Not just a choice for
president, but also choices for Congressional seats and
local officials who will become the future candidates for
even higher offices, such as the presidency. When we
get that choice, it is our job not to fumble it, not to
despair about it, and most important of all, not to settle.

Opinions & Events
Senior AssassinConsumes School
If you’ve seen Brady Mattson prowling around a swim meet with a Super Soaker, then you
understand the feeling sweeping the senior class paranoia. Senior Assassin is in full swing and the
class is filled with the constant swirling rumors of targets.
Nicole Certesio organized this year’s game with over 60 students playing and a large cash prize
for the last cadet standing. Every sign up was put into a hat and drawn one at a time, with each
person drawn being the target for the next. This means each of the 60 participants has both a target,
and someone to watch out for, though everything is kept secret. Or as secret as it can be.
Some students have used the circulation of target names to form large master lists, with many
containing rumored guesses for just about every participant. Students who decided not to tell
anyone who their target was may find themselves in a better strategic position as a result, as it
seems no one can keep a secret in the senior class.
Some assassins have already made critical kill attempts. Peter Dowling followed his target to a
parking lot and was ready to pounce, though ended up unsuccessful. Like many in the senior class,
Peter has also been helping others in attempts to get their target wet in some form in order to get
them out. Some individuals are already out, though it seems everyone survived the first frightful day.
And while the kill attempts have been enjoyable to listen to, some of the new actions cadets are
taking to avoid their assassin can be just as comical. With students practically stalking one another
as they seek the final prize, the paranoia has definitely set in for the participants. Chloe McBride
parks behind her father’s police cruiser and sends her sister into the house first, requiring her to
check the surrounding bushes and area before she’ll leave the car. One anonymous senior even
shot their father with a water gun, perhaps being just a bit too jumpy. Usually that same senior has
their father check the surrounding area as well before they’ll exit their vehicle. Many also pay close
attention to their rearview mirrors on the way home, as you never know when you’ll be followed by
your assassin. If there’s another thing you can count on, it’s that every participant also keeps a
water gun nearby whenever possible.
Onlookers in the class have enjoyed watching the immense paranoia, with Will Capuano
accurately describing the participants as “a lot jumpier”. However, the game has also brought about
more conversation than usual between individuals as everyone seeks the inside scoop on what their
target does after school.
In the next edition we’ll seek to keep you updated on the continuing game. Good luck, keep a
water gun close, and hope to stay dry.

Teacher Tidbits
The holiday season is coming up and the teachers are just as festive as us students. After
talking to them, I have the inside scoop of their favorite holiday traditions, food and more. Mrs.
Enderica’s favorite holiday tradition is when her family opens presents in the morning and has their
family brunch.
As for Mrs. Averell, her favorite tradition is baking cookies! Both Mrs. Averell and Mrs.
Enderica’s favorite holiday food is stuffing, specifically the specialty Ecuadorian stuffing a la Mrs.
Enderica. Their favorite gifts that they have received are both cameras as well (although Mrs. Av’s
of course has waterproof modifications for all her scuba diving adventures).
Lastly, I asked them about their plans over break, Mrs. Enderica looked forward to spending
time with her family and going to New York City or the Crayola factory. Mrs. Averell went down to
Florida to work in Disney World. Both teachers hope everyone had happy holidays and a safe
break!

The Force Awakens
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away a
new generation to the star wars film franchise
was born… Star Wars the Force Awakens was filled
with amazing battle scenes, epic new
characters, and appearances by old favorites.
Creator JJ Abrams has brought his own
personal flair to the series and his efforts have
clearly shown. The Star Wars film has made
over one billion dollars since its release on
December 18th. After the last prequel movies,
The Force Awakens was a welcome breath of
fresh air.
Appearances by old characters and the
introduction of new ones unites old
generations and new. The strongest feature of
the film is presented in the acting in the new
female lead, Rey. A tough loner with a soft
side becomes involved with the new rebellion.
The movie also shines with immense aerial
battles and the alwaysloved lightsaber duels.
The final hour of the film leaves viewers
intoxicated by the scenes with several heart
wrenching moments leaving fans guessing
what will happen next. Surprisingly, fans won’t
have to wait too long until the next film.

Mockingjay - 2
As someone who has nothing better to do than go
and see movies with friends and family, I am one of
the only ones who can report on the quality of the final
Hunger Games installment.
Now, there are two different kinds of people in this
particular movie theater. Those who have read the
books and followed the casting of favorite characters,
and seen every movie; and those who may have seen
the last one, or may have seen one Hunger Games
sometime, somewhere. For the avid readers and
faithful movie watchers, as you leave the theater you
can't help but feel the void as you contemplate the end
to another compelling dystopian series. The less loyal
viewers will still feel a sense of nostalgia, as the
Hunger Games, the original dystopian book to movie,
comes to a close.
As all movies are, Mockingjay will be met with some
criticism. Compared to the other movies in the series,
this one is somewhat underwhelming. The movie is
exhilaratingly fastpaced in some parts, but drags on a
bit in others. For the dedicated book readers,
treasured scenes are over as quick as they begin and
beloved book characters don't get nearly enough
screen time as they deserve. But the overall
disappointment doesn't come with the effects of the
movie, but rather with the end of this enthralling series
as a whole. The Hunger Games is the end of an era,
like Star Wars or Harry Potter and this finale is one I
wouldn’t want to miss.

Movie Reviews
ASK "MISS NANCY"Q: I'm only a freshman, should I even be thinking about college? Anonymous
A: It is never too early to think about college and your options in life. Start thinking about
what you enjoy and what you might like to do for your career. You can start researching
colleges and developing your interests in your future. As you get closer to college, you can
begin diminishing your list and do college tours to see if what you really want matches up
facetoface. There are also some college fair nights you can attend to get a better idea of
the colleges you may be interested in. Another resourceful tool to help you choose some
schools you like is CollegeBoard. It will narrow down your search based on interests,
majors, qualifications, etc. to find the school perfect for you. Remember, it's always a good
idea to get a headstart on your future!

Landing on your nose,
Sudden blasts of arctic air
Chilling all your toes.

CapricornDecember 22–January 19
Communication could be complicated this week, withtalker Mercury in Capricorn battling doer Mars in yourambition angle. Your words and actions may not matchup, or you might provoke someone who has authority
over you. So try to be extra conscious of how your wordsand actions can be interpreted. Thanks to the sun in yoursign gelling with Neptune in your cognition zone, yourintuition and a takethehighroad mindset will serve youwell. After Mercury moves into your worth house, you
should think more about your values, priorities, finances,possessions and resources. Meanwhile, Venus is
sneaking into your release corner, coaxing you to loosenyour grip on personal desires and social connections andlove selflessly and privately. But with Mars arriving inyour network sector, some of your energy should bedevoted to teamwork, group activities, philanthropic
efforts and pursuing new goals.
Pisces February 19–March 20
The sun in your network house is clicking withNeptune in Pisces this week, giving you a chance toblend seamlessly with others while still being verymuch yourself. However, Mercury — who’s also in
that house — is squabbling with Mars in your sharingsector, so you could disagree with people over amatter of control, trust, money or relationships. Oryou may be trying to get to the bottom of something,but what you’re hearing from friends doesn’t jibe withyour With Mars segueing into your exploration zone,
it could be time for a trip or another adventure.
TaurusApril 20–May 20
A MercuryMars skirmish this week suggests that youmay be thinking in broad, optimistic terms while your
actions are more methodical and cautious. Orperhaps, if you have a lot to do, you’re irritated by thetasks and your mind is elsewhere. And you may havea strong opinion about how things should be done.Try to turn a conflict into a learning experience if youcan, and be open to different points of view. AfterMercury crosses your ambition angle later in the
week, your attention may shift to career planning andyour life direction. Venus is moving into your sharingsector, intensifying a relationship or helping you to
attract the support that you want. Closeness and trustbecome extra important and, with Mars entering yourpartnership house, you’re prompted to assert yourselfwith other individuals. Don’t go it alone in the coming
weeks.
Sara Robinson's Horoscope
CornerGeminiMay 21–June 20
Your ruler, Mercury, is in your sharing sector and clashing withMars in your selfexpression house this week, so deep thinkingand intimate conversation may conflict with an impulse towardselfgratification and fun. A close relationship could become a
battleground if you get irritable and cannot recognize your feelingsand modify your behavior. Another possibility is that you intend toconcentrate on something or someone and veer off course tochase a whim. Afterwards, Mercury segues into your expansionzone and prompts you to take a broader view of life. suspicions.Mercury slips into your subliminal corner after that, highlightingyour intuition and perhaps persuading you to be quiet. Venus’sarrival in your ambition angle implies your appeal with higherupswill get a boost and you’ll have an easier time attracting success.Your mind turns to travel, new experiences, abstract ideas, awider circle of people and seeking truth, meaning and learning.With Venus crossing your oneonone angle, you’ll feel more ableto relate, compromise and express affection. But Mars’s move intoyour efficiency house prods you to also work hard and get things
done.
CancerPay close attention to your underlying emotions this week,
because feisty Mars in your familyandfeelings angle is quarrelingwith verbal Mercury in your relationship corner, and your best
chance at avoiding a conflict is to be extra aware of your moods.You’re a naturally moody sign and, with Mars hiding out at thebottom of your chart, compulsive behavior stemming from
irritability that you don’t fully understand is common. You mightalso project your feelings onto others and thus encounter
combative people. Soon after, both Mercury and Mars segue intodifferent houses, easing the tension. Your thinking will deepen,encouraging research, introspection and intimate dialogue. But
your energy will start to shift from home and family to fun,creativity, love and happiness. Venus’s arrival in your productivityzone coaxes you to do work that you enjoy and to value your
health.
Horoscopes
LeoJuly 23–August 22
You could get overstimulated this week when Mercuryin your productivity house battles Mars in your
mindset corner, pitting one line of thinking againstanother. You might be trying to concentrate onsomething, but impatience will pull you off track.You’re identifying strongly with your ideas andopinions now and may become argumentative,especially if you feel criticized. The likelihood ofconflicts with siblings, neighbors and coworkers isparticularly high. Ask yourself if there’s enough atstake for you to fight. It will feel soothing to simplyenjoy a natural feeling of closeness with one person
and, when Venus enters your joy sector, you’llbecome more inclined to have a good time, becreative and love whom you please. As Mercurycrosses your relationship angle, communication
should improve, and Mars’s move into your foundationangle pushes you to tackle a domestic project or work
from home.
VirgoAugust 23–September 22
This week’s MercuryMars squabble could signify aconflict between selfexpression and
possessiveness. For instance, you might have adisagreement over ownership of a creative idea. Oryou may have a concept of fun, happiness or lovebut don’t have the means to manifest it. Watch outfor impulsive spending that stems from thinking thata particular possession will make you happy or willexpress your identity. Placing spiritual value over
monetary value and enjoying companionship with noset expectations will prove rewarding. With Venusarriving in your foundation angle, the pleasures of
home and family take on added importance, and youmay get into the mood for decorating or entertaining.With Mercury and Mars entering your productivityand communication houses, though, everyday lifecould become rather busy, and you may be full of
ideas you want to act on.Libra
September 23–October 22With Mercury in your foundation angle challengingMars in Libra this week, your actions may not sit wellwith family or part of you may be driven to go, go, gowhile part of you feels quiet and reflective. There
may be pressure building up inside you that needs tobe expressed, and it could come out rather
explosively if you feel provoked. If your mind isdrifting back to the past, pay attention to the feelingsattached to memories and how those feelings maybe influencing your actions. A conflict with relativescould be rooted in old patterns. As Venus changessigns, love and beauty begin to permeate your
mindset, interactions and environment, making dailylife more pleasant. And Mercury’s arrival in your joysector heralds creative and romantic selfexpression.
Meanwhile, Mars’s move prompts you to tackleissues connected with finances and possessions.
ScorpioOctober 23–November 21
A skirmish between Mercury in your cognitionandcommunication sector and Mars in your subliminalcorner could cause problems for you this week if youcan’t get a handle on subconscious anger. You caninadvertently make the wrong impression or slip intoregressive behavior patterns. And irritability that’slingering beneath the surface is apt to affect your
conversations and interactions, perhaps leading you tovoice thoughts that you had no intention of sharing.
After Mercury segues into your foundation angle, you’llbe more in touch with your innermost feelings and
should feel better able to convey them. And with Marsentering Scorpio, your drive will increase, enabling youto assert yourself more effectively, tackle your personalagenda, further your own interests and prove yourself.Venus’s move into your worth house encourages you toappreciate what you have and attract what you need.
SagittariusNovember 22–December 21
A disagreement between Mercury in your worthcorner and Mars in your network house this weekimplies that your priorities, values or thoughts aboutmoney, possessions or personal needs may differfrom the actions of a group. It could be hard to
coordinate what’s best for you and what’s best forothers. Negotiations and transactions will probablybe difficult. You may feel like people are encroaching
on your territory, and you may resent grouppressures. But after Venus enters Sagittarius, you’llfind it much easier to get along with people and getwhat you want. Your charm, attractiveness and
appeal will receive a welcome boost, and Mercury’smove into your cognitionandcommunication sectorwill sharpen your thinking and your ability to get your
message across. Mars is also on the move,prompting you to work behind the scenes without
credit for awhile.
