JOSH.HALLORAN@AOL.COM ORLANDO, FL, 32806 cell: (407) 929-0085 @JHAALLORAN home: (407) 649-9101 April 22, 2013 David Evangelista General Manager of Eagle Creek Country Club 10350 Emerson Lake Blvd Orlando, FL 32832 Dear Mr. Evangelista: It has come to my attention that Eagle Creek Country Club is in search of a new employee with experience in the golfing community, as well as an individual with a hard working attitude who is willing to contribute to the success of the course. If this is the case, then please accept my resume for your review and consideration for filling this spot as an Eagle Creek employee. I first started golf at the age of 14. I played three years on the varsity golf team at Boone High School and during the offseason would compete in a competitive youth AAU league. I was always interested in what it took to keep a course up and running and all the hard work it took to do so. With that said, I am really intrigued in this job opportunity and feel I would be a great fit for this opening. Previously I have worked at Bay Hill Country Club as a bar back. The job at Bay Hill was a temporary tournament position, it was a great experience for me. I really enjoyed what the job entailed and loved just being in that environment. As a bar back I mainly did whatever the bartender summoned me to do, whether it was getting ice or refilling the bar, I did it all. The following resume demonstrates my background well. I would very much appreciate the opportunity to be considered for the job opening at Eagle Creek Country Club. Thank you for your review and consideration Respectfully yours,

Josh Halloran Enclosed: resume

self-analytical evaluation These past two years on the newspaper staff have been some of the best years of my short life. I first started in journalism by taking the class at Boone my sophomore year. I was always interested in how the newspaper was created and what it took to do so. i had no idea before this class the commitment it takes to put together an award winning publication. From taking this course, not only have i learned skills that could benefit me in the journalism field, but i have also beccome equipped with skills that i will use in every day life. There are always going to be situations in college and work where you have to collaborate and work together toward a common goal, as well as situations throughout life, where you have to meet deadlines, and i have been able to learn these life skills from being part of the publications department. This course has taught me how to work with people, no matter what the circumstances are, and it really has taught me the importance of making deadlines, because as far the newspaper goes, if one staffer does not make the deadline then it could hurt the chances of the paper going to press. I honestly do not know where I would be if I had not of taken this course. Newspaper has been my life the past two years and even if I dont choose to go down the journalism path as a career, I will forever have these skills to use and will always remember this experience I have had on this staff and i thank you for that.

“FREE PIE, NO JIVE”

Looking back on all the work I composed this year, I feel that my best piece was the restaurant review I wrote in the February issue, “Eggspect the Uneggspected”. THe story all started with a bet made with fellow colleague, cooper brock, who had doubted my ability to create 20 egg related puns throughout the entire story. During the composition of this piece i felt like i finally got to showcase my writing with a fun approach. the story took less than one week until it was finalized by the editors. by the end of the deadline i felt accomplished not only because i was 20 dollars richer but because i got to show what i was capable of writing. to top it all of, this story was recognized with the fspa all-florida award, which was ‘uneggspected’ but it was a great feeling knowing that something that you put hard work into can be rewarded.

MOST EGGCELENT. The Mexican Omelette ($8.59)is served with chorizo sausage, green chilies and onions.“The Mexican Omelette had a nice variety of textures and ﬂavors. The cool and freshness blended well with the potatoes,” senior Cooper Brock said. There are seven omelette choices on the menu.

exotic meals at acceptable prices

By JOSH HALLORAN Perfect for an early breakfast or a late brunch, The Egg and I has exactly what one is searching for in a modern day diner. The Egg and I is a perfect after church restaurant, but does not exclude from the casual family breakfast. With the price range between $8-$20, one gets to experience a quality meal without having to worry about paying an expensive bill. Part of the expanding SODO area, The Egg and I opened in early October and has offered deals in local newspapers and magazines. They offer an acceptable 10 percent discount to both veterans and seniors. The interior is aligned with a cream color and has an assortment of ceramic paintings and small ornaments that can make one reminisce of dining in grandma’s kitchen. But for one who prefers dining outdoors, The Egg and I also offers plenty of outdoor tables with umbrellas for shade. The menu has one’s average diner dishes with an exotic twist, for example the Viva La France ($6.99) is a typical French toast meal but decorated with two eggs and two strips of crisp bacon or sausage patties. Or if one is searching for simplicity, they might be interested in the Breakfast Croissant ($8.29), scrambled eggs, diced ham and melted cheese served with a bakery-fresh

croissant, with a side of ranch potatoes. The Egg and I also provides healthy choices for customers such as the Egg Byte Omelette ($8.49). This dish is served with a three egg white omelette, and a variety of fresh vegetables such as diced tomatoes, green peppers, baby spinach and portabella mushrooms. If one is not in the mood for breakfast, The Egg and I is equipped with an excessive number of sandwiches and lunch-based dishes. For example, The Egg Cheeseburger ($8.49), a regular cheeseburger cooked to one’s liking topped with a fried egg, a very exquisite taste. Once again, The Egg and I offers a healthy dish for the lunch crowd as well. The Veggie Greek Wrap ($7.99) arranged with sun-dried tomatoes, fresh spinach artichoke hearts, Kalamata olives red onions, Havarti dill and feta cheese wrapped in a tomato tortilla with pesto mayonnaise. The extra choices of add-ons and sides are exorbitant. The Pineapple Coconut Pancake ($5.99) exerts an indescribable amount of flavor. There is fresh pineapple and toasted coconut baked inside the pancake and is served with a side of vanilla cream sauce that is exquisite. The servers exemplified excellence when it came to customer service. The resturant was alligned so that it could sit an exceptional number of customers but still allow one a peaceful meal and to be excluded from its neighbor. The Egg and I gives one the exact experience of what a diner should be.

BREAKFAST TIME. The Breakfast Croissant ($8.29) is served with scrambled eggs, diced ham and melted cheese and a bakery-fresh croissant. “The Breakfast Croissant was extremely appetizing. It gave me the exact amount of food needed for breakfast time,” senior Coral Dixon said. This is the only croissant item on there menu. EGGSTRAORDINARY. The Texas Skillet ($8.99) comes with seasoned steak strips, roasted red and green peppers, onions and portabella mushrooms on a bed of ranch potatoes with melted cheese, two eggs cooked to any style and an English muffin. “This dish provides a ﬂavor that is indescribable,” senior Robert Irwin said. This dish is cooked to order.

As a journalist you try to put as much work into every piece as possible, but looking back on all the stories i wrote this year i feel that the one piece that i could have spent more time on or done a little more research on would be, “Organization keeps plot under wraps” That story in particular took a good chunk of time and research to make it possible for it to go to press. The story gave the readers a brief description of what the illuminati was and what they consisted of. It told the readers what the illuminati did in every day life to give society an opinion on them. They have became popular throughout the rap world giving society a belief that some rappers are involved in the illuminati. I felt like towards the end of the deadline i sort of rushed the story so that it would make it to print. If i could go back and do it over, i would make sure i could learn more about the program so the readers recieved the full effect in the story.

ies question reality

Questions continue hovering ßquestionanswer Dakota Jones, junior Why do you think people get so freaked out by aliens? Well, they should. Who wouldn’t be? We don’t know what they can do if they’re real. What would you do if you were ever abducted by aliens? I don’t know; I hope I never get abducted. Have you ever seen a UFO? No. What would you do if you saw an alien? I don’t know, I’d most likely be welcoming.

By HEATHER JANAS United States government officials assured people it was simply a weather balloon, not a UFO. On July 8, 1947, in Roswell, New Mexico, an unidentified flying object supposedly crashed. The incident was the spark of “UFO fever” in the United States. In Roswell, New Mexico, on July 1, 1976, another UFO sighting occurred. A man claimed to be walking home from a friend’s house at night when an egg-shaped object flew above him. Area 51 and Roswell are theorized to be two storage sites for crashed UFOs. Area 51 is under extreme surveillance and is classified “top secret” by the United States government. There is not proof that extraterrestrials exist or that Area 51 and Roswell have connections to aliens, but conspiracy theorists support the ideas that alien spaceships crashed in those two areas. “I believe there are many strange things in the universe. It is so big; we cannot be the only things [out there],”

junior Dakota Jones said. The existence of aliens is a notion that people view differently. There is no way to prove that aliens or UFOs are among us “It is more or less an impossibility that [aliens] do not [exist],” sophomore Christian Ketcham said. One man dedicates his time to UFO and extraterrestrial research. Retired United States Army Colonel John Alexander searches for evidence to prove their existence. While in the Army, he believes he saw what seemed to be a UFO. “I have never seen a UFO, [and] I would rather not. [Although] I know they are out there,” Ketcham said. Because of such heavy surveillance around Roswell, New Mexico and Area 51, conspiracy theorists believe the government is hiding secrets. According to Colonel Alexander’s book, UFOs: Myths, Conspiracies and Realities, he thinks it is logical that if extraterrestrial life does exist, Area 51 would be involved.

Disappearances remain evidenceless By JORDAN KNIGHT When one thinks of setting sail or boarding a plane, the last thought one has is disappearing. The Bermuda Triangle places the possibility of this happening in one’s face. Also known by its nickname “Devil’s Triangle,” it is located off the southeastern Atlantic coast of the United States. It is known for the disappearance of ships and aircrafts. “It’s just like a mystery story. No one really knows if it’s true or not,” senior Shelby Hill said. The Triangle has three points, roughly Miami, Puerto Rico and Bermuda. This conspiracy theory began 58 years ago with the disappearance

of two of the U.S. Navy’s vessels, the U.S.S. Cyclops (1918) and Flight 19 (1945). There is still no evidence for these disappearances. People believe the Triangle is an epicenter of alien abductions or sea monsters. “I think people believe what they have been told for so many years. Also, because it’s mysterious,” sophomore Ariel Collier said. Conspirator Gian Quasar has documented the Triangle for over 20 years. Quasar has gathered more than 350 cases, nearly half are disappearances. Quasar’s collection is the largest private repository of reports. According to history.com’s topic section, more than 50 ships and 20

airplanes have vanished in the Triangle. Opposed to aircrafts, ships have to factor in a strong ocean current known as the Gulf Stream. History.com’s Frequently Asked Questions, states this current can erase proof of accidents. Coast Guard History FAQ states they do not recognize the Triangle as a geographic area of specific danger because they believe the Triangle is harmless to ships or planes. “[Existence of the Triangle,] is something to believe in and people crave that, whether it’s a good thing or bad thing,” Hill said. The facts behind the Bermuda Triangle mystery have yet to be uncovered.

Organization keeps plot under wraps By JOSH HALLORAN Illuminati refers to a conspiratorial organization, which is alleged to mastermind events and control world affairs through governments and businesses to establish a New World Order. The thought of this dates back to the late 1700’s when the local citizens referred it to as a Bavarian Illuminati; the German philosopher Adam Weishaupt first originated the conspiracy. The modern day conspiracy theory is that a majority of the world events that happen are being controlled and manipulated by a secret society calling itself the Illuminati. Conspiracy

theorists claim that many notable people are members of the Illuminati such as Jay-Z, Kanye West and Lady Gaga One of the key accomplices in the Illuminati conspiracy theory is Myron Fagan, a famous American writer, producer and director. He devoted his later years to finding evidence that a variety of historical events like the Battle of Waterloo, The French Revolution and the JFK assassination by infiltrating the Hollywood film industry, in which he found that they were all orchestrated by the Illuminati. There are many pieces of evidence that help the case for one to accept the Illuminati’s beliefs and prove what they

have accomplished is accurate and true. “I think people that are accepted in society and that are very convincing, such as the Hollywood stars, Kanye West and Jay-Z, who sing about the Illuminati in a majority of their songs, make it easier for people to believe in it” sophomore Kyndall Webster said. It is believed that the famous hip-hop rapper Jay-Z is part of the Illuminati because of his descriptions in songs such as Most Kingz he refers to the Illuminati and says that they were associated with the death of Michael Jackson, Tupac and Biggie Smalls. When asked what his association with the Illuminati was, he just laughed.

I enjoy this photo because it displays action. It was a lot of fun shooting boys volleyball pictures with the flash equipment we have in the gym. It gives the gym a whole different look. the picture fills the frame well and shows the anticipation of the spike on the players faces and by the player who is jumping to spike the ball.

I had the opportunity to shoot some pictures at one of my brothers aau basketball tournaments a couple months ago. Shooting basketball is much different then any other sport. You really have to set yourself up for the shot and be there when it happens because it all happens so fast. I really enjoy this picture because it gets a kind of birds-eye view of the game. It shows the players setting up the offense and the viewer really gets to see what all is happening at once.

This picture was one of my best pictures that day, The player came full speed up the sideline and stopped on a dime just in time for me to snap the shot as the defender went flying by him. I was actually very surprised by this shot and i feel it shows a great amount of action.

Being a returning staffer, i was expected to be more of a leader then i feel i was this past year. people on staff looked up to me on staff but not the way that i would have liked. i wish i could have been more of a role model to the younger staffers and could have taught them things they could use in the future. i was very commited to the staff but not all in the best ways. if anything positive, i would have to say i improved compared to last year on both my writing ability and making deadlines. this year i won an fspa all-florida award for one of my stories and felt very pleased with some of the boys basketball wrap up stories i wrote.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;FREE PIE, NO JIVEâ&#x20AC;?

Like in the past, my troubles on staff this year were staying focused on the task at hand. i have too many acquaintances on the staff that it became easy for me to get off task and go talk to someone else, instead of focusing on my work. like i said, i do believe that i improved when it came to making deadlines. not only did i make the deadlines but i felt that the stories were not rushed, that i put all my effort in them and that it showed. if i learned anything from this problem i have is that i need to focus and not mess around all the time; and if i put all my effort into something then it can pay off in the long run. without a doubt i feel that i handled this trouble much better this year than i did in the previous years.

6 At the midterm, my three goals were: 1. Make deadline. 2. Learn as much as a can to benefit not only myself but the staff as a whole. 3. And dont mess around.

as for the first two goals i feel that i accomplished them pretty well. i made deadline up until the final deadline, where senioritis hit me hard. I also tried to get as much knowledge that was provided in the second half of the year to benefit myself in the future. The final goal was something that i did not follow through on. with so many friends in that class i did not have the will to discipline myself and not mess around and to just get my work done. reflecting back on the year i really do believe if me and “my friends” would of got all of our work done this year would have been a blast.

Looking back on last years portfolio i think that it is safe to say that i have grown a lot. My main struggle last year was making deadline and it become a serious issue at the end of the year and throughout this year i dont think making deadline ever became a problem. As far as designing i feel that I have became more confident in my designs and that i have more of sense of what i am doing. My portfolio last year was rushed towards the end just so i could turn it in but this year i made sure that was not going to become a problem. I put much more time and thought into this years portfolio and feel that it has paid off.

Subject, verb, direct object By ANNA MARIE BORIA A delectable aroma fills the air as one walks into the lively restaurant of napkins rain down over the customers. With authentic Greek music playing to accompany the Greek decor, one is instantly transported to Greece. Taverna Opa, located in the heart of Pointe Orlando is as much of an experience as it is a restaurant. With the electric atmosphere, Opa is the perfect place to enjoy cuisine just as tasteful as the atmosphere is entertaining. With bold and colorful plants placed around the restaurant and Greek decor in every corner, Opa succeeds in keeping the Greek experience authentic and traditional. Opa, in Greek culture, means a password that conveys the festive Greek spirit; the restaurant lives up to its name. If looking for an intimate dinner with a significant other, Opa is not the place. Its atmosphere is better suited for large parties who do not mind the To es, quis praciortus bonc ma, conturo tes! Scientus vit vidierrat vem simis.

Campus fights cancer, shows pink pride Students and teachers are affected by breast cancer By GABRIELLA FAKHOURY As sweat runs down his neck onto his pink jersey, he gazes into the stands to see his mother’s bright eyes light up with joy as she watches him play under the Friday night lights. “I knew I was playing for a good cause and I was playing for my mom. I knew I would make her proud,” senior Travis Snethen said. In seventh grade (January 2008), Snethen faced the news of his mom’s stage one breast cancer diagnoses. “My stomach dropped. All that was left was the feeling of not being sure of what is going to happen,” Snethen said. After nine months of chemotherapy, a breast mastectomy and her lungs collapsing during surgery, Snethen and his mother Deanna Snethen, looked to the positive side of her recovery and also his newfound connection to God. “It helped me grow closer to God and also helped me grow stronger as a person. I appreciate my mom much more, and I realize how strong of a person she is,” Snethen said. One in eight women is diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime. That means at least one girl in each class on campus will be diagnosed with breast cancer. About 188 girls in the whole school will be diagnosed in their lifetime. The older someone is, the more likely she is to be diagnosed with breast cancer. Another risk factor is if a family bloodline has a history of cancer.

By JORDAN KNIGHT After spending four years in high school, a student can only imagine what walking across stage and receiving a diploma would feel like. This transition signals the closing of one chapter and the start of another. Yet failing to meet graduation requirements prohibits students from reaching the goal of graduating high school. Florida graduation requirements have changed within the past year and now are different for each grade level. “We’re getting away from the FCAT and having EOC exam and an online requirement,” guidance counselor James Caperton said. The state is responsible for the requirements. Though there have been additions, guidelines for core classes (four English and math credits and three science and social studies credits)

Screaming Hollering Sam Holleman, columnist

Boo Boo wins On August 8, 2012, the world became aware of a show that is what can only be described as “the show of the century.” One may think that this is somewhat of a bold statement given we are only 12 years into the century. But TLC’s Here Comes Honey Boo Boo has reached a new level of television entertainment that cannot be considered anything other than the show of the century. This masterpiece is about a 6-year-old beauty pageant contestant Alana “Honey Boo Boo” Thompson (originally featured on TLC’s Toddlers in Tiaras) her mother, Mama; her father, Sugar Bear; and her sisters Pumpkin, Chubbs and Chickadee as they live out there compelling and fascinating lives in McIntyre, Georgia. First of all, the show has such a broad audience appeal that anyone can tune in and have a good time. This show has it all: a loving family, humor for all ages, a pig named Glitzy, and of course, farting. It is very rare that a show comes along where entire families can sit together and enjoy an hour of quality television. Furthermore, Here Comes Honey Boo Boo is the epitome of LOLing. From Glitzty the pig “oooo’ing” on the table to Mama farting in the title sequence, one cannot stop laughing from the beginning to the end of each episode. This show puts classics such as Cheers, M*A*S*H and Alf to shame. Finally, this show has not been ruined by Hollywood because it stays true to its core values. Here Comes Honey Boo Boo remains a spectacular show without succumbing to the pressures of Hollywood. This is what separates a mediocre show from a great one, because if a show needs to sell out to succeed, it has already failed. Here Comes Honey Boo Boo is the show of the century, but not because of its broad appeal, its humor or even its ability to succeed without selling out; rather because (sadly) everyone can be entertained by the show. It possesses the humor of a 4-year-old who just discovered the wonders of poop and because even Hollywood wants to avoid any association with it. It is the show of the century because August 8, 2012, is the point in time when America stooped to a new low. This sad excuse for entertainment got more views than the RNC. Somehow, listening to a 6-year-old’s concerns about Mama eating their pet pig is better television than listening to a man who could be the next leader of our country has to say. In 100 years from now, historians will look back at this point and say that this is where America lost, and Boo Boo won.

[ Awareness from, page 1 However, that is not always true. On Aug. 18, 2010, her 47th birthday, Annette Montgomery learned she had stage two breast cancer. No one else in her family had ever been diagnosed with breast cancer. “Cancer makes you try not to take things for granted. It’s hard to relive it again, but when people go through chemo and need help, I try to always be there,” Montgomery, government teacher, said. With two young boys at home and a strong will to keep working, Montgomery did not let cancer stop her from achieving anything, let alone her daily routines. “It is all about setting up a plan. Without a plan it is very overwhelming; with a plan you can keep your life in

control,” Montgomery said. As of today, Montgomery has been cancer free and out of chemotherapy for 18 months. Every cancer free year lowers her chances of cancerous cells being triggered. Football’s largest fundraiser and newest tradition is the pink and white football game, which takes place on campus every other spring. The first annual game raised $18,000 two years ago. Colonial High School hosted the second pink and white game, which raised $12,000. Much like the age-old tradition of the Boone/Edgewater match up, a barrel is the trophy. The barrel is pink and white in spirit of breast cancer awareness. “The pink and white game was my wife’s idea. She believed that it would be beneficial to our kids and community,” football coach Phil Ziglar said. Ziglar’s wife works for MD Anderson, a cancer center searching for

a way to cure all types of cancer. Ziglar’s first wife passed away after her fight with lung cancer. This campus is an official Relay for Life location. Another national fundraiser is the Susan G. Komen Race for the cure. The local event is Oct. 21, at the University of Central Florida. If interested, visit www.komen.org. With a 93 percent survival rate for the first stage of breast cancer and a 15 percent survival rate for the last stage, this 5K race raises awareness for the fight against breast cancer and also celebrates the survivors. Those who lost their lives to the fight against cancer are also honored at the event. “I look at Mrs. Montgomery and others and they just keep going; they don’t let it affect their family. I am really proud of them,” Sarah Kittrell, digital design teacher, said.

and eight required electives remain unchanged. However, freshmen and sophomores must successfully complete one online class through virtual school. No specifications are given for what online class should be completed. An online class completed in grades six through eight is also acceptable. A common concern regarding the online class is a student’s access to a computer. “If I was unable to get a computer, I would go to the public library because [computers there] are available all the time,” sophomore Nicole Neal said. Florida is phasing out Florida Comprehensive Achievement Tests and replacing them with End of Course Exams. FCAT tested students grades 3 to 11 in reading, math, writing and science. In previous years, 10th grade reading and math FCAT’s had to be passed with a three or higher for graduation. Now, juniors, sophomores and freshmen must pass FCAT 2.0 Reading with a 3 or better for graduation, unless students are able to opt out with a higher ACT scores. EOCs are being administered in

Algebra 1, Geometry, Biology and U.S. History. Current freshmen and sophomores will take all four of the exams prior to graduation; juniors will take Algebra 1 and U.S. History; freshmen must pass Algebra 1, geometry and biology to graduate; sophomores must pass Algebra 1 to graduate. In addition to the new exit exams, the EOCs, except for Algebra, will also make up 30 percent of sophomores final grades. For freshmen, only the U.S. History EOC exam represents 30 percent of their grade, and for juniors, Algebra 1 and U.S. History EOC exams will represent 30 percent of their grade. Current seniors’ final exams represent 10 percent of their final grade. “The FCAT is sort of familiar to our age group, but throwing in the EOC instead is overwhelming and if you don’t do so well, you suffer huge consequences for it,” Neal said. Students who are unsure if they are on track to graduate should make an appointment to speak with their counselors or go to www.fldoe.org to check state graduation requirements for their grade level. “[If I wasn’t on track] I wouldn’t be happy with myself because all my hard work would be for nothing,” junior Clint Lyttle said.

Organization benefits campus sports [ BHSAA from, page 1 “Without BHSAA, the school’s facilities would get worn and unusable at some point,” Scott Bell, Vice President of BHSAA, said. “We try to focus on the needs of all sports and then prioritize which needs are the most.” While BHSAA strives to support athletics, it primarily focuses on the larger facility needs. For example, BHSAA purchased the new stadium scoreboard three years ago, which benefits all the sports that play there.

Last year, they also purchased a new scoreboard for softball, new mats for the cheerleaders and re-finished the gymnasium floor. “We are so grateful for BHSAA because now we have a full competition floor of a mat, when before we had seven mats that were actually wrestling,” Cindy Hutsell, cheerleading coach, said. “Now we can practice our routine without saying, ‘Let’s pretend there’s another mat right here.’ We are so blessed to have them.” With 867 entries and over $14,000 raised in the 4th Annual Reservation Run, it breaks school records for the most runners and most money

accumulated at this event. Sports teams and clubs are encouraged to partake in the run because each runner who registers under said club or sport, receives a portion of the proceeds. Bravettes earned an extra $1,000 for having the most participants. BHSAA originated with the help of the Boone Sports Legacy Board and Boone Boosters. Their mission was to improve the school’s facilities and to raise funds for athletics. They joined together to form BHSAA and together be a strong unit. If one is interested in volunteering for BHSAA he can either contact Kelly Mutters, located in the Trading Post.

Restaurant provides exotic meals at acceptable prices By JOSH HALLORAN Perfect for an early breakfast or a late brunch, The Egg and I has exactly what one is searching for in a modern day diner. The Egg and I is a perfect after church restaurant, but does not exclude from the casual family breakfast. With the price range between $8-$20, one gets to experience a quality meal without having to worry about paying an expensive bill. Part of the expanding SODO area, The Egg and I opened in early October and has offered deals in local newspapers and magazines. They offer an acceptable 10 percent discount to both veterans and seniors. The interior is aligned with a cream color and has an assortment of ceramic paintings and small ornaments that can make one reminisce of dining in grandma’s kitchen. But for one who prefers dining outdoors, The Egg and I also offers plenty of outdoor tables with umbrellas for shade. The menu has one’s average diner dishes with an exotic twist, for example the Viva La France ($6.99) is a typical French toast meal but decorated with two eggs and two strips of crisp bacon or sausage patties.

Hunting provides ‘escape’ Hunting provides enjoyment for students

KILL OF THE DAY. At senior Tyler Stokes’ family ranch, Bar Snake Ranch, Stokes killed the only turkey of the day, his first ever turkey kill. “[The most exciting part about turkey hunting] is when the animal you’re hunting for comes out of the woods, or flies by you in the sky. You get an adrenaline rush,” Stokes said. The start of spring turkey hunting season is on March 16 and lasts until March 31.

By JOSH HALLORAN On an early Florida morning, hunters sit in their tree stands, guns cocked ready for their prey to come their way. “I enjoy the sporting event and the satisfaction of seeing nature. It gives one an escape from the city life and school,” senior Robert Pell said. Different seasons call for different baiting schemes. During turkey season hunters use turkey calls to attract the animal their way. One of the more popular baiting tools during deer season are “rattle sticks.” Hunters bang the “rattle sticks” together to draw male deer closer by making it think other deer are mating. Hunting is a year-round sport. There are a number of hunting seasons during certain months in which one can only hunt for a specific animal. The winter hunting season is Sept. 15-Oct. 14, and Nov. 17-Jan. 16. In this time, one may hunt antlerless deer, fall turkey, quail, hog and gray squirrel. To hunt during those seasons one must obtain a Hunter’s Safety Licence, in which one must complete a Hunters Safety Course provided by the state of Florida at no cost. Also, if one is looking to hunt recreationally, they will have to purchase a $17 one-year hunting license or a five-year $79 hunting license. Hunting in the state of Florida is separated into four different zones (Zone A, Zone B, Zone C and Zone D). The majority of hunters are located in Zone C which covers some of the largest counties throughout the state, like Polk, Orange and Marion counties. Alligator hunting is different in Florida than any other type of hunting season in the state. If one is interested in gator hunting in Florida and has aspirations of having a successful trip, one will need to purchase a hunting guide. Hunters will have the cost of the guide to consider (usually around

$20 per-night). It will also be smart to purchase a $50 agent’s license for each person participating in the alligator harvest. “Gator hunting is interesting because it is unusual. Mainly because not many people do it and it is more action packed, compared to all the other types of hunting,” Pell said. “After I finish hunting gators, I skin them out of the hide and eat the meat. The skins can be used for a name full of resources, from trophies to belts and wallets.” Senior Tyler Stokes has a specific hunting place, Bar Snake Ranch, located in Seminole County. A 900-acre ranch that has been in his family for over three generations. With a family of hunters, it was easy for Stokes to become interested in hunting. When the ranch first originated, three generations ago, Stokes’ grandparents planted a basic oak tree. To this day the tree still stands. The ranch is not used for just hunting. They raise herds of cattle, have a vegetable garden they use in meals and have over 300-acres that have yet to be cleared out, known as “The Jungle.” At Bar Snake Ranch, they hunt deer, turkey, hog, squirrel and quail, all during their respective seasons. “It’s an enjoyable sport, and a competition between other hunters. You get to sit there with just you and the wildlife. It’s really peaceful. The thrill you get when the animal you’re hunting for comes out of the woods, or flies by you in the sky; it’s indescribable,” Stokes said. Hunters are often criticized for killing defenseless animals. However, they think differently. “Hunting is a lot more animal friendly than the way the meat you get from the store is gotten. Animals you hunt are healthy and free in the wild, while the animals used to make meat for stores are treated wrong. If all meat was from hunters, the world would be a better place,” Stokes said. March 16 is the start for spring turkey hunting season for hunters, and it will last until March 31.
