May 5, 2011 Aimee Wirth Special Events Coordinator Florida State University 600 W. College Avenue Tallahassee, FL 32306 Dear Ms. Wirth, This letter is to express my interest in gaining event-coordinating experience with you through an internship or other unpaid position. I have attached my resume and feel that my addition to your staff would be mutually beneficial and that I can be a profound asset to your organization. My background as an editor of my high school yearbook has provided me with the organization skills needed for this position. I have learned the amount of time and dedication needed when I have a job to accomplish. My position as the president of my school club, Love Letters, has also taught me about organization and scheduling. As president I was in charge of organizing meetings, bringing the appropriate materials and making sure every member was reminded. I believe these experiences were small stepping stones which have lead me to this next opportunity that will prepare me for my future career. I have a strong desire to enhance my skills and focus them toward event coordinating. I am a quick learner, and although I have no previous involvement in this field, I am more than able to apply my past experiences to different situations I may be faced with. Although my attached resume demonstrates my background, I feel an interview would give me the opportunity to better exemplify my knowledge and skills. Thank you for taking time to review my request and I look forward to hearing from you soon. Sincerely,

Amy Comstock Enclosed: Resume

PERSONAL ESSAY

hen I was making my schedule freshman year, I chose to take Journalism I because I thought it would be cool to say I took part in making the yearbook. When I participated in the class the following year I realized that there was more to making the book than just a few cute pictures. That year I learned a lot about ethics, style and design. The preceding year, those things I learned were put to the test in my first year on staff. Ethics was stressed every day when we were checked to make sure we went to students and interviewed them for real quotes. Style was incorporated into the pages I worked on and into the way I placed things on these pages. This year design was most important because I was an editor and I had to design the whole index. I had to use the rules I learned sophomore year to create a page that incorporated all the information in a visually attractive way that would keep people on the page. This was a lot of work and it involved my life revolving around Room 224, but it was worth every second. I love that room and those people. They are my publications family. Along the way I also learned to love journalism. Although I never thought of myself as a particularly good writer or photographer I know I have developed into an excellent staffer and editor. I have learned so much these past three years and I know that it will stay with me forever. I believe I have learned things at a professional level, and if I ever need to in the future, I could fall back on journalism and be perfectly happy.

SELFANALYTICAL EVALUATION

ver the course of this year I have grown so much journalistically. Last year I was an adequate staffer, able to do what I needed to, but not much more. This year I have grown immensely and I am comfortable with messing around with the programs we use. As a whole, the deadlines I had this year went much more smoothly than last year’s deadlines. Last year I did not have a strong start with meeting deadlines, and, compared with this year, as the year went on I did not gain much momentum. This year I also learned how valuable teamwork is. Since I was an editor I was able to see how much work the other editors have to do when staffers don’t pull their weight. Many times a staffers editor had to take over their page and then it was up to all of the editors to do what needed to be done in order to finish it. Another thing I learned the importance of is advertisements. I never realized just how much it cost to make the book and how much we rely on the ad’s. They are an extremely important asset to the book in order for us to publish it at a reasonable price. As the index editor journalism ethics was my priority. I was responsible for making sure all quotes were correct and signed off by the interviewee. When I came across quotes that were not quoted exactly it drove me nuts and my love for accuracy grew. Without having this position I don’t think I would have ever really understood why ethics was so important. Being an editor on yearbook staff takes dedication to a whole other level. I thought I was dedicated last year as a staffer, but this year I spent so many more hours working on my pages and I really learned what it was like to be dedicated.

REFLECTION ONE

y most significant piece of work is the homecoming tip-in. This is also a significant piece in the book because it literally stands out and brings attention to its spreads. On top of standing out, homecoming is a school wide event that every class participates in, so it is an exciting piece for students to look at, and they expect to see an awesome spread that reflects the week. I worked on this piece with another staffer, Tori, and together we planned how we would organize the different homecoming events and where they would be placed on the spreads to make it look perfect. There were over 40 pictures on this piece, and it took a while to decide which fit and looked the best on each page. After we finally found all of the appropriate pictures, we had to tackle the task of identifying all of the students and hunting them down for interviews. Because of the size of this piece it took an abundance of time and effort. Together, Tori and I worked to show a complete and accurate review of homecoming week. As we placed photoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s we had to rearrange the spreads to make sure the content of the design followed the rules and looked appealing. Also, many times when we opened a page to correct things, we would find an element did not fit well and we would change it to better complete the spread. Overall, I am very pleased with the outcome of this piece. I think that the other students will really enjoy the uniqueness of the tip-in and the amount of coverage we included on the spreads.

REFLECTION TWO

believe that the story I wrote in the index about the Japan catastrophe could still use work. I wrote this story the day before we sent the proofs to press, so I believe that if I spent more time on it, it could have been a lot better. Because I knew that I had such a short deadline I believe that I did not concentrate on content as much as I should have. Instead, I concentrated on filling up the white space and getting as many facts in as I could. The first thing I would fix would be the word crumpled in the first line. Crumpled means rumpled, wrinkled or crushed. I believe that I was meaning to say crumbled, which means to fall into small pieces. This word would have fit much more appropriately with the toy blocks simile. As I read further into the story I see other smaller style and diction details I wish I could change. I know that if I had more time to move on to another story and then go back I would have caught these smaller details. Although I do think that I could have changed a number of things in this story I am very proud of the amount of research I put in to it within the amount of time I had. I am also proud that the story was able to include all of the important details while still reading well.

earth ShatterIng DevaStatIon earthquake had overwhelming effects Buildings crumpled to the ground like toy blocks as an 8.9 magnitude earthquake struck 45 miles off the coast of Japan. More than 100 aftershocks followed the quake, some above a 6.0 magnitude, adding to the devastation. Then came the tsunami. Thirty foot waves washed away cars, houses and people as survivors stood on structures to avoid the dangerous water. Immediately, the relief process began with the American Red Cross sending financial aid, shelter, blankets and food to support the displaced survivors. As a result of the earthquake, cooling systems in two nuclear power plants in Fukushima Prefecture broke creating a radioactive leak. Within a six mile radius of one of the plants, 45,000 people

had to evacuate because of the deadly amounts of leaking radiation. However, 50 men stayed behind to manually operate the plant to prevent complete meltdowns that could throw thousands of tons of radioactive dust high into the air and endanger millions of neighboring civilians. On April 12, Japan raised Fukushima to a Level 7 event, which was equal to the Chernobyl disaster. Small, but not lethal, amounts of radiation were also found throughout the United States. One month later, the death toll was up to 12,600 people, and more than 14,700 people were still missing. The final death toll at the time of press was expected to be upwards of 20,000. n hearTbreak.

She and her husband were not home when the tsunami struck; and their two daughters escaped with grandparents to a nearby mountain temple. (photo/Carolyn Cole/ Los Angeles Times/MCT)

REFLECTION THREE

love every element of this picture. You can see so many similarities in Caley and her dad in this picture. The expression on their faces, the way they are faced and the way they are walking in sync are absolutely perfect. I also love the way the sun is hitting the outside of their faces, but there is a slight shadow where we see them facing the camera. I also love how they are obviously the focus of the picture. There are some people walking ahead of them, but they are small, out of focus and insignificant. Most of all I love how in the moment they are. They were both completely unaware I was taking this picture and yet they are still so picturesque. Clubs, RelayforLife 4/08 Amy, IMG_0228.JPG

REFLECTION FOUR

am an asset to this staff and the 2011 edition of the Legend Yearbook because I am the Index Editor. As an editor I am responsible for assisting staffers and making sure all of the names in the book are spelled correctly. On top of that, I am responsible for making sure that the quotes in the book are quoted correctly and are signed as proof that the quote is correct. Besides my editor responsibilities, I am also a valuable staffer. I am organized and understand layouts, therefore I know how to arrange a spread to make it look visually appealing. I am also a solid journalist, and I am able to write a factual and interesting yearbook story. I have a good attitude, and I believe that it is easy for other staffers to confide in me when they need to talk to someone. This kind of communication really helped the chemistry on our staff this year. Above all, I am dedicated to the yearbook and that makes all the difference in the world. This dedication drives me to make sure it is the best we can make it.

REFLECTION FIVE

his year my biggest hardship was deadline six. This was my deadline, and my deadline only. I started the deadline strong by designing my section and picking stories during deadline five. Toward the end of deadline five, I also found most of my photos I was going to use with each story. However, by this point, my deadline had begun and I needed to write the stories and place things. This is when I started to have trouble. Some stories I was familiar with and, although I still had to research them, I knew what I was talking about and I could write a rough draft. However, with other stories it was a lot more difficult and it took a lot more effort, even after all of my research. On top of the stories and pictures, I had to check the actual names. This process began months before deadline six. It was very difficult to go through all three thousand names, and even more difficult to look up the pages the index claimed they were on. I know I was working on those names until the very last minute. Then, I had the secondary coverage. This was supposed to easier for me because the staffers were assigned to go on interviews and take pictures. It did not go as smoothly as I hoped. Many of the staffers were confused about how they had to crop, cob or threshold the photos. This was difficult to hear because none of the photos needed to be thresholded. Once I cleared the instructions up with them, some still did not do it correctly and failed to save originals. This added more work for me, and I had to get help from other editors to get the pictures. After I sent the pages it felt like the world was lifted off of my shoulders. I was so relieved to just have it out of my sight and get some sleep again. Then proofs came. All of the stress came rushing back at ten times a quicker pace. I spent several days in a row without getting more than three hours of sleep and it was really affecting my attitude and other grades. There were a lot of changes to make in the proofs and I tried to do them all by myself. In the end, I realized I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make all of the changes necessary in the time given without help. Other editors, including from newspaper, were there to help me and we sent the final copy. I know that I should have been more open to help from the start. It isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a bad thing to ask for help, and in the end things can turn out better when another person is with you.

REFLECTION SIX

he midterm asked me to list goals I would like to achieve for the next semester. I chose to list four goals; to begin going through current events; make every majors; get more updates from staffers; and spell all names correctly. Overall I believe I improved on these goals. My first goal was met as I began looking through the current events at the end of the semester. I am very glad I got ahead by picking the events so early because if I hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t it could have been a huge setback for me. My second goal was more or less met. I made more deadlines, but I sadly did not meet majors every time. In the midterm, one of the reasons I wrote I did not make majors was because of my procrastination. Although that improved as seen in my first goal, the disease was not completely cured and I did still procrastinate on some things. My third goal was also met. I feel that in the second semester, I was able to get updates from staffers more frequently. During editors meeting in the first semester I was clueless about a page if I had not seen it, however, in the second semester I knew if the page was close to coming to me, or if it still needed work. I believe that my fourth goal was not met. It was a stretch of a goal to make, however I think it was still a necessary goal. The book has only been out a day and I have not heard any complaints, but I am sure there will be at least one name spelled incorrectly. Although I do not think I met this goal, I know that I worked to a point of exhaustion on trying to meet it. I am very proud about all of the names that are spelled correctly and all of the names that I did catch when they were spelled wrong before they went to press.

REFLECTION SEVEN

1 FEATURE WRITING: STUDENT LIFE pages 36 and 37 I believe that this is a very personal and heart-wrenching story. It tells a story with many appropriate details as well as statistics on alcoholism. It is well written and, although it was a negative story, it displayed a positive message for a hopeful future.

Y8 HEADLINE WRITING pages 36 and 37,458, 459 I believe these headlines are very clever. They all tell the reader what will be in the story, but in an entertaining way. They are original and fun to read and I am very proud of them. Y23 INDEX pages 447 through 459 I am very proud of my index. I believe that I did a good job incorporating students in secondary coverage who werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t anywhere else in the book. I think my idea for how to display the letters was very original and creative. The stories are also original and provide all the information necessary from an interesting angle. DM8 Personal opinion: Off-campus issues http://hilights.org/archives/3216 I believe that this submission fits all of the criteria and is a well-written article. It is my opinion and it shows how I feel about the subject. It is also obvious that I researched the subject by actually listening to the CD and listening to past albums. DM44 Photo and audio slideshow http://hilights.org/archives/3285 I believe that this slideshow was put together very well. It shows what happens/ happened at Relay for Life. Since I have personal quotes from Caley about her dad it puts a personal and real life angle to it, making it more impacting. DM3 News writing http://hilights.org/archives/3290 I believe that this is a well-written and informative article. It is backed up with appropriate quotes and research.

She was only in kindergarten when her father, sitting in a bar, left her alone for hours at school. Picking her up never crossed his mind. When he finally stumbled his way to her school, he took her home and started a bath. Hours later, as she sat in a cold tub with pruning fingers, her screams echoed through the house to no response. While senior Jane Doe* was driving with her mom 10 years later another traumatic memory was made. Doe’s mother decided she was old enough to understand the reason her parents divorced. She told Doe that her father was an alcoholic. The reason he never responded to her cries years before was because he was passed out drunk in another room. He was completely unaware of his surroundings. “I was in complete shock,” Doe said. “I was driving on Orange Blossom Trail, about to get on the 408. I will remember why I was driving, where I was going and how my mom said it. When I found out I was really hurt because everything started clicking.” Doe was not alone. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration reported that almost five million alcohol dependent or alcohol abusing parents have at least one child living at home with them. This not only affects the drinker, but also other family members, and creates a burden on the children. Studies on living with an alcoholic parent revealed that children will often feel guilt, anxiety, embarrassment, confusion, anger or depression resulting from the parent’s abuse. “I can’t trust guys. Whenever a guy starts yelling at me my automatic instinct is to cry. My dad never hurt me, but he would yell in a threatening manner; whenever a guy raises his hand I get freaked out,” Doe said. “When I was in third or fourth grade, I asked him why he just drank [alcohol]. He said ‘it’s all I like,’ and I didn’t push it because I felt like it wasn’t my place to keep asking. When I did keep asking, he was very defensive.” Doe’s mother and father separated when she was 2-years-old, and Doe’s interaction with her father was limited to him watching her on weekends. When they separated, Doe was told that it was because her parents didn’t love each other anymore. Doe accepted this without question, until her mother informed her of the real reason on the drive home from the department of motor vehicles, after receiving her license. “I think it all started because he wanted to have fun, but then he drank because he was stressed, and then it just became an everyday thing. He blamed it on me,” Doe said. “When I called and talked about the situation a few months after I found out, he told me ‘I drink because of you; you did this to me,’ and I never understood that.” Doe’s cousin was there for her and helped her work through the hard times that followed after finding out about her dad. “It was a lot to take in. She’s my cousin and I love her so my heart broke for her. I just wanted to be there for her in any way I could,” Doe’s cousin said. “It was hard for her, but she was being strong.” Although Doe’s father never abused her, there was maltreatment, including not being an adequate parental figure during the weekends he was responsible for watching her. Forty percent of maltreatment cases involved alcohol or other drugs, according to childabuse.com. “I remember when it was his weekends, the first thing we would do is go to Hooters so he could drink,” Doe said. “There didn’t need to be an occasion [for him to drink].” According to Hope Networks, there were about 26.8 million children of alcoholics in the U.S., as of 2005. Despite her father’s issues, Doe was able to live in a stable environment with her mother and stepfather. “My step dad has tried to legally adopt me, but my dad won’t sign the papers,” Doe said. “I’m okay with [my step dad trying to adopt me] because legally, if anything happened before I turned 18, I would have to live with my real dad. Just knowing that’s the situation sucks.” Environment and social situations influence acceptable standards of substance use. Research by the National Association for Children of Alcoholics shows that children of alcoholics are four times more likely than children of nonalcoholics to develop alcoholism. However, if children of alcoholics are brought up with strong, healthy family traditions, if there is a high religious observance or if they have close relationships with other people around them who are not alcoholics, they can be protected from the consequences of their parent’s alcoholism. Doe had these factors, and because of them, there is a higher chance she will not be an alcoholic. “It sucks to know that someone would rather have alcohol over a person,” Doe said. “From this situation I learned that I would never jeopardize my family, future or anyone’s well-being [over alcohol],” Doe said. “It just isn’t fair to that person.” n Amy ComstoCk *name withheld

including President Barack Obama, urged Mubarak to step down. The revolutionary fervor in North Africa and the Middle East was first ignited by protests which led to the resignation of tunisian President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, and rippled off into other developing countries including Egypt, Bahrain, Jordan and Libya. After the resignation of Mubarak, the military took charge until elections could be held in June. Though joyous protesters filled the streets of Cairo after the end of the regime, the power void promised an uncertain future for Egypt.

“No go, no go!” rang through the ears of the astronauts just minutes before the final lift-off of the shuttle Discovery on Feb. 24. These were not new words to the crew; the shuttle’s launch date had been postponed almost four months since its original lift-off date of Nov. 1. Despite the delay, the 27-year-old orbiter took off three minutes later and safely made it into outer space. Tens of thousands of spectators waited in Cape Canaveral to witness the historic event. Discovery’s final moment n blasT off. Space shuttle Discovery, STS-131, did not disappoint as it made its launches Monday, April 5, 2010, on a 13-day to the International Space Station.

The robot’s mission was to spend the next year in space completing simple tasks as a test of its capabilities in zero-gravity. The launch represented the beginning of the end. NASA scheduled two more shuttles to take off before the program was to be decommissioned and turned into a historical museum.

After 18 days of protest, 30 years of tyrannical rule were put to an end on Jan. 25 as President Hosni Mubarak of Egypt complied with the demands of thousands of protestors and resigned from his post as president. Mubarak gained power through a coup d’état and held power with an iron grip supported by world powers including the United States and Israel.

Buildings crumpled to the ground like toy blocks as an 8.9 magnitude earthquake struck 45 miles off the coast of Japan. More than 100 aftershocks followed the quake, some above a 6.0 magnitude, adding to the devastation. Then came the tsunami. Thirty foot waves washed away cars, houses and people as survivors stood on structures to avoid the dangerous water. Immediately, the relief process began with the American Red Cross sending financial aid, shelter, blankets and food to support the displaced survivors. As a result of the earthquake, cooling systems in two nuclear power plants in Fukushima Prefecture broke creating a radioactive leak. Within a six mile radius of one of the plants, 45,000 people

The night was dark, but the atmosphere was thriving. At midnight June 18, people were already lining up around Islands of Adventure waiting for the grand opening of Harry Potter World. By the time the park opened there were thousands of guests waiting in an eight hour line. J. K. Rowling’s famous Harry Potter novels inspired the wizarding world, Hogsmeade. As guests entered the park they were greeted by familiar scenes from the books and movies like Ollivanders and the Owl Post. Familiar beverages, like butterbeer, were also available. Universal converted the classic Fire and Ice and Unicorn rides to fit the Harry Potter theme, and became the Dragon Challenge and Flight of the Hippogriff. Designers also created a new simulation ride, Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey. Special guest stars Warwick Davis, Tom Felton, Michael Gambon, Rupert Grint, Matthew Lewis, James Phelps, Oliver Phelps, Daniel Radcliffe and Bonnie Wright were among the first to see the park and also among the few who witnessed the grand opening ceremony.

The water suddenly turned black and slimy as an unnatural amount of oil leaked from 8,000 feet below. April 20, 2010, an oil rig exploded. Three months later BP capped the spill, but the effects of it still remained. The leak in the Gulf of Mexico largely affected Louisiana’s waters and fishing industry as well as Florida’s economy. Florida’s beaches, on the other hand, stayed relatively clear of the black crude oil. Unaware of this, tourists from Florida’s $60 billion tourism business came in smaller numbers. July was normally the busiest month of the year for Florida’s beaches, but in

2010 revenue numbers for the month were off 25 percent. On top of the reduced revenue, tourists paid around 11 percent less than the previous July. Restaurants were also affected and had to raise their prices, leading to declining customers. Shrimp prices alone rose 25 percent. According to a study from Technomic’s, about 20 percent of consumer’s nationwide polled said they ate less seafood because of the spill. Miami’s daily hotel rates, however, rose. The tourism board worked to polish Florida’s image so tourists would come to the rest of the state.

Jasmine Cole said. Paramedics were called when Louis collapsed, but he died later that day at the hospital. An autopsy reported that Louis collapsed because of an exertional sickling due to a sickle cell trait and heat stress. In 2007 the National Athletics Trainers’ Association reported that nine athletes, ages 12-19, in the previous seven years died from exertional sickling. “I encourage you to cherish the memories,” a pastor from Louis’s hometown in Haiti said encouraging the family and friends who survived him.

Tears silently rolled down the cheeks of a mother who did not understand how she could’ve outlived her youngest son. At his funeral, Marie Bastien mourned the death of her son, Olivier Louis. Louis was a freshman at Wekiva High School and a member of the freshman fooball team. At football practice, just 19 days before his 16th birthday, Louis collapsed while stretching and preparing for his freshman football practice. “You never think something like this will happen. I mean, we have players that sometimes pass out, but you never think they’re going to die. So it’s really shocking right now,” Wekiva classmate

In September, Florida Pastor Terry Jones threatened to burn a Koran as a protest to the proposed building of an Islamic center near the site of the attack on the World Trade Centers in 2001. However, after being pleaded by numerous religious and government officials not to go through with it, Pastor Jones agreed not to go through with the demonstration. However, months after the hype died down, Pastor Jones decided to follow through with his plan, regardless of the consequences he knew n Burn the Book. Pastor Terry Jones speaks to the media in Gainsville, might ensue. Florida, Friday, Sept. 10. (photo/ricardo On March 20, with an audience ramirez Buxeda/ orlando Sentinel/MCt) of 30 worshippers, Jones burned the Muslim holy book at his small church in Gainesville, FL. Following the demonstration, three Muslim men sparked a riot in Mazar-I-Sharif, Afghanistan, and stormed the United Nations building, killing 12 people. The Afghan rioters carried signs reading messages such as “Down with America” and “Death to Obama” and called for Pastor Jones’ immediate arrest.

Local Valencia Community College opened in 1967 to offer two-year associate degrees. On Sept. 21, it received permission from the state Board of Education to offer its first baccalaureate degree programs. After acquiring permission, Valencia announced the newly established programs could be available to students as soon as Fall 2011. The bachelor of science

degrees in radiologic and imaging services and electrical and computer engineering technology were two of the newly established programs. The University of Central Florida previously offered these programs, but dropped them because of budget cuts. Because UCF dropped these programs, VCC had the university’s full support through the process. On Dec. 14, after receiving

their accreditation as a baccalaureate degree granting institution by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools as well as the trustees of Valencia, the school changed its name to Valencia College. Students hoped Valenica would keep its $91.73 per credit hour fees, versus the $167.35 per credit hour for state universities.

On a sun splashed Friday the countdown began: 10, 9, 8, 7, 6... Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer, Orange County Mayor Rich Crotty, Magic CEO Bob Vander Weide, Magic President Alex Martins and other dignitaries held the scissors to cut the blue ribbon that separated the public from their new Amway Center. The countdown reached one and the ribbon fluttered to the ground officially opening the $480 million facility. The Center, located in the heart of downtown on Church Street, replaced the Amway Arena, located on West Amelia Street. Vendors along the street were hopeful that the new center would bring life back to the street. The Center hosted concerts, the Harlem Globe Trotters and events on ice including Smucker’s Stars on Ice. Class of 2011 anticipate their graduation in the new building set for June 3.

What began as a normal day for 33 men quickly turned tragic as the mine they were working in collapsed. On Aug. 5, in the Atacama Desert, 700,000 tons of rock in a San Jose gold mine trapped its workers. Surrounded by darkness, fear trickled into their minds and starvation scratched at their stomachs. Seventeen days later, hope arrived when they received a letter confirming people knew they were in there, and asking if they were alive, to which they responded, “All of us are well inside the shelter.” For 52 more days the miners received necessities through a

When Brandon Fisher and Richard Soppe of Pennsylvania heard what happened they developed Plan B. This plan included enlarging the hole where the men were lifted out of their 69-day home. NASA also contributed in designing the rescue capsule. On Oct. 12, at 9:55 p.m. Luis Urza was the final miner rescued. “You brought your shift out like a good captain,” Chilean President Sebastian Pinera told a beaming Urza.

then city workers cared for the swans who lived in peace, at least until that night. Stephen Brezil, pet shop operator in Jacksonville, stole the swans with plans of selling them but, a warrant led to him turning himself in to the police. Brezil was arrested and charged with six counts of grand theft and six counts of animal cruelty. The swans were safely returned.

Local travelers experienced a change the week of Oct. 27, when the Transportation Security Administration installed full body scanners in the Orlando International Airport. The scanners were another precautionary device in the airport for the prevention of terrorist attacks. The scanners required passengers to step in for a full body x-ray. Workers viewed the image in a separate room. The workers looked for metallic and non-metallic objects hiding in or under one’s clothing. The scanners caused controversy because travelers considered them to be too invasive. The scanners created a general upset, and groups like Electronic Privacy Information Center sued against their installation. But, passengers had the option of opting out of walking through the scanners. If one chose not to go through the scanner, they instead had to have a pat down.

Lake Eola swans have a history over a century old, but overnight on Oct. 15, someone abducted nine of the historic swans. The story goes that over a century ago, Charles Lord of England moved to Orlando and resided on Lake Lucerne. He had fond memories of swans so on a trip back to England he shipped a pair of white and a pair of black swans back home. The male white swan constantly picked on the others. Because of this, Lord sent the other swans to Lake Eola. Since

On Nov. 2, Teresa Jacobs and Rick Scott became the 2011 Orange County mayor and Florida governor, respectively. Jacobs graduated from Florida State University with a degree in economics and went into banking after graduation. Since then she was a county commissioner, president of the Orange County Homeowners Association Alliance and a member of numerous state and regional boards. Scott served in the Navy, then earned his business and

law degrees, before entering politics in 2010. This is both Jacobs’ and Scott’s first time in their respective positions, and both won with a large margin between their opponents and themselves. Both republicans, Jacobs and Scott’s websites stated the economy was an important issue they wanted to address as soon as possible. Unemployment percentages were on the top of the list for fixing Florida’s economy.

n REpEal. On Dec. 10, the Service members Legal Defense Network holds a Capitol Hill rally to call on the Senate to remain in session and the president to remain in Washington until The National Defense Authorization is passed - which includes the repeal of the Pentagon’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy barring homosexuals from openly serving in the U.S.military.

“For we are not a nation that says ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’. We are a nation that says, ‘out of many, we are one’,” President Barack Obama said. This was the president’s statement on Dec. 22, after repealing the “Don’t ask, Don’t tell” policy in the military. The policy made it illegal to be openly gay in the military. The orientation of servicemen wasn’t questioned but anyone who openly admitted to being homosexual would be dishonorably discharged. The policy instigated protests because people believed it was discrimination to not allow someone in the military because of sexual orientation. There were also protests against allowing gays, open or closeted, in the military at all. The repeal went to the House of Representatives in late May where they voted to repeal it with a 234-194 margin. Four days before the president signed the bill, 65 senators voted in favor of repealing the bill. “Our people sacrifice a lot for their country, including their lives. None of them should have to sacrifice their integrity as well,” Obama said.

Pima Community College, where Loughner attended, recognized his disruptive behavior and suspended him for conduct violations. The college told him he could return only after he had mental health clearance. Loughner did not make the effort to get the clearance, and he withdrew from the college months later. As of April 2011, Loughner had not yet received a trial date, and there was still a possibility that he could face federal charges because he murdered a federal judge. Until the trial date was scheduled, Loughner was held without bail.

Shots rang out and panic spread as Jared Loughner calmly walked through a marketplace in Pima County, Tucson, Arizona, shooting 19 people. Representative Gabrielle Giffords was among those shot, along with Federal Judge John Roll and 9-year-old Christina Green. Roll, Green and four others passed away after the shooting, but Giffords and the other 13 survived. The victims were at the marketplace Jan. 8 for a neighborhood meeting held by the congresswoman. As she was conversing with Roll, Loughner walked up to them and began the rampage, shooting Roll first, then Giffords. “Everyone hit the ground,” witness and aid to Giffords, Mark Kimble said. “It was so shocking.” Loughner proceeded to fire 31 shots before pausing to reload. As he paused, Roger Salzgeber and Bill Badger tackled him while Patricia JaRED loughNER Maisch grabbed the magazine he was using. On Jan. 17, Loughner was charged with attempted assassination and homicide. Loughner pleaded his innocence; however, authorities found a signed note in a safe in his home that read “I planned ahead” in an envelope that was labeled “Giffords.” Loughner had a series of troubling Internet postings, including YouTube videos and MySpace

REFLECTION EIGHT

REFLECTION NINE

his is my second portfolio for yearbook, and I believe the creativity of my theme has grown. Last year my theme was a simple black background with two brushes that I would turn and place in different positions on the page. The design of it worked and although it was simple, it looked nice. However, this year I chose to use photography and I think that shows a huge improvement in my knowledge of a camera and Photoshop. I took all of the pictures that I chose to use at New Smyrna Beach, and I think that they show a growth in my photography skills because of the variety of pictures and picture angles. I chose to do a double exposure theme with my pictures after I was inspired by some really impressive double exposure photos on abduzeedo.com. I was not sure how I would make my photos look as if they were double exposed because I did not use real film, therefore I had to figure it out on my own. I am very proud that I was comfortable enough to play around with Photoshop until I could make the photos look how I wanted them to. To get the bright, double exposure look, I opened two photos separately in Photoshop and made one black and white. I messed with the other photos hue and saturation after changing the levels. I made the hue a negative so the blue looked brighter, and made the saturation higher, but not so high to where it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t look like a real picture. After that, I joined the pictures together and changed the opacity so the black and white was at about half of what the color picture was. After that I merged the layers and put a gradient feather to make the photo fade from left to right. I also like the fonts that I chose to go with the pictures. I think that it matches and has a beachy feel to it. I think my idea is original and I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think that anyone else has done double exposure before. I am proud of the final product because it takes knowledge of publication products to produce something like this.

W QUIRKY AYS INTEREST STUDENTS Teacher got through to his students by dancing to relate with them With anxious energy running through his body, 11-year-old Tom Radivonyk held a remote in his hand while standing mesmerized in front of the TV. He was watching and re-watching yet another scene from Break into Boogaloo where the actors could flip and turn rhythmically to anything at anytime. Twenty years later, Radivonyk taught English I, but had not forgotten the moves he learned from watching the movie. Radivonyk incorporated the moon walk into a lesson because it helped demonstrate perspective to the class. “[I moon walked] to illustrate there are different ways of looking at something,” Radivonyk said. “It looks like you’re moving forward, but you’re actually moving backwards.” Radivonyk succeeded in grabbing his student’s attention and helping them understand his class lessons with different dancing moves. When he began, they froze with amazement and consequently quickly learned what he was teaching. “[It’s easy to learn because] he can relate to us,” freshman Elizabeth Maiden said.

DEADLINE TWO

The typical Monday morning gloom was replaced by energized students. School had yet to begin for the day, but students filled the commons, crawling in the planters like ants. It was the Monday of homecoming week and freshmen, sophomores, juniors and seniors were decorating their class planter preparing for the week of spirit. “[Decorating the planter] got me psyched, especially for the dress up days. Every time I walked by it, it got me excited,” senior Tyler Johnson said. As Tuesday approached, girls started getting pumped for Powder Puff where it was time for girls in each class to compete against one another in a football game. The first game started and the reigning champs, the juniors, came out fighting against the freshmen. Staying tough throughout the game, the juniors won 43-0. The second game started and the seniors charged the field with energy hoping to crush the sophomores. Quarterback Bailey Florin led the sophomores, who outran the seniors, 22-0. In the final game the two winners faced off and the juniors shut out the sophomores, 10-0. “It felt great [being a two time champion]. I’m looking forward to next year,” junior Robbi Garrett said. “I am very confident.” Thursday night arrived and the festivities continued with Braves Brawl, the traditional homecoming week talent show. Each class, the Boone Dance Crew, the step team, cheerleaders and Bravettes performed. The competition was tight but the time-traveling Bravettes, last year’s winners, won yet again. Varsity cheerleaders came in second place and the Senior Class in third. At the bonfire, after Braves Brawl, football coach Phil Ziglar guaranteed a win for the game the next day. “[Winning Braves Brawl] was really exciting, it’s not something you can explain, it’s like a high,” sophomore Morgan Carr said. Friday afternoon the annual homecoming parade made its way around the block consisting of class and club floats. The contest for the best float was competitive with the Junior Class winning once again. The Senior Class

came in second and Key Club in third. The parade also set the anticipated mood for the big football game that night. “[My favorite part about the float was] getting to know people I wouldn’t normally talk to,” junior Rachel Peddie said. Pre-game events assembled as students tailgated and the Rowdy Crowd prepared for the game, guaranteed to be a victory by Ziglar. The stakes for the team were high; if they won the game it allowed them to stay alive for play-off opportunities. Within the first few minutes of the game the team scored a touchdown and set the mood for the rest of the game. At half time, cameras flashed as seniors Kyle Jones and Samantha Marozzi were announced homecoming king and queen. In the fourth quarter of the game, the momentum picked up as the defense stopped Freedom from advancing to the goal line. At the end of the quarter, sophomore Aaron Turman made a game deciding play, by catching an interception and ran the ball 70 yards. Boone defeated the undefeated Freedom, 24-10. “[Before the game, the team was] really serious because it was probably the biggest game of the year,” sophomore Sanford Meeks said. Homecoming week came to an end with the anticipated dance on Saturday night. At the dance, administration enacted a new rule; they used orange bracelets to help enforce appropriate dancing. If adults saw inappropriate dancing they would take off the bracelet as a warning. If they saw that same person “dirty dancing” again he had to leave the dance and could not attend prom. The jellyfish decorations added more light than previous years which made finding the offensive and inappropriate dancers easier. Despite these changes, other traditions of the dance remained such as: homecoming court making an appearance. “[I wanted] to have fun,” freshman Joseph Delavega said. “It was everything I thought it would be.” n AMY COMSTOCK AND VICTORIA LAI

The girls kept the score close in the beginning, 7-5, but Plant pulled ahead, ending the game 14-25. “After we lost the first game, we knew we had to come back so I was looking to the fans for support and to my family until it was time to start. The seniors [on the team] kind of brought us back and motivated us to play our best and want to win,” Arkeilpane said. Although the defeat in the first game was disconcerting, the fans remained optimistic, cheering for the girls as exuberantly as before. In the second game, the girls faced defeat 14-25. “It was hard. We were mentally down, and we were out of the game.

Although the girls faced another heartbreaking defeat, they played their best, contributing to the final score of 17-25. “It was a heartbreak, we had come so far, and it wasn’t a good game. We were just like ‘did that really happen?’, and all of the seniors were crying,” Mason said. Despite the tragic loss, the overall season was the most successful in the school’s history. “The team went as far as we could. We deserved what we got.

They motivated us to play well,” sophomore Delaney Arkeilpane said. The girls received support from enthusiastic fans. Teachers made goody bags for the players and the players’ parents bought paint and decorated their vehicles before driving to the game at the Lakeland Center.
