Two Borah programs offer support to students who plan to attend college

Erik Talbert, new Trio teacher, advises a student about college applications. By Abdullah Salman
asalman@borahsenator.com Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID) and Trio are two programs to help students gain better understanding and skills for applying to and succeeding in college. But what’s the difference between them? A lot of people don’t know the difference between AVID and Trio. Each class has its own system and benefits, both targeting students who usually need financial help to go to college. “One of the reasons I find TRIO very beneficial is that TRIO pays for my college applications,” said Nikeyia Honey, senior. “TRIO taught me how to apply to colleges, and, by my own, I would have never figured it out.” Senior George Ngalamulume--in AVID since 7th grade--said he heard about it from his brother; it helped him prepare for college during high school. The programs also help students get better grades. Honey said her favor part about TRIO is it helps her do homework through study hall. A sophomore in AVID, Tabarak Alomar, said, ”I like that AVID always helps me keep my grades up by helping me with my homework.” While AVID’s goal is to help and push students in their classes, TRIO’s mission is more about offering advice and
support for applying for college. TRIO, for example, doesn’t grade check, but AVID teachers and counselors closely track their students’ grades. AVID students have a special AVID counselor who recommends what classes to register for. After the recommendation, it’s up to the student to follow through with the advice. Before going to college, both programs help students gain real-world-experiences like living in a college for six weeks. TRIO also provides students jobs for six weeks with doctors, engineers, and so on. AVID’s comparable requirement is to recommend volunteer work. Honey said she liked the experience and it has really taught her a lot about college. The two programs are designed in different ways, but they both help students gain a better understanding of how to apply and go to college. Field trips to colleges for AVID, for example, are usually paid by donations and fundraising; TRIO’s are sponsored by federal funding. AVID has its own counselors and teachers and classrooms just like any other class, but TRIO is not an actual class period. Students receive call slips to see the TRIO counselor, who works in Borah’s Career Center. However, there is a TRIO class, Upward Bound, that students may take as an option; it
is not required. Students in AVID and throughout Borah usually don’t take the TRIO class period, but are enrolled in the program without the class period. AVID students are supposed to be well trained for college and should be good students, since one of the biggest reasons for AVID is to help them become better students and teach them good study skills. TRIO does not do that unless the student decides to take the TRIO class period in which he/she receives some extra help with study skills. “It has brought my view of school and even life out of school,” Ngalamulume said. “I’d totally recommend it to students who want to succeed in college.” TRIO students feel really attached to their class. Many feel like TRIO is more than just a program. Senior Christopher Espy said, “I like TRIO because it’s more like a family. If you need anything, you’d find everybody there for you!” he said. “I totally recommend TRIO for any student that is trying to succeed in life.” Senior Georgette Bisoka is a student who has taken AVID and TRIO. She said both programs are very similar, and added, “If I had to choose one, I’d rather stay in AVID.” According to the Boise School District website, “AVID inspires, encourages and prepares students to succeed in college and beyond. Typically, AVID students will be the first in their families to attend college, and are from low-income or minority families. Students are taught important study skills and encouraged to take accelerated classes. Trio is defined on the U.S. Department of Education website as “federal outreach and student services programs designed to identify and provide services for individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds. TRIO includes eight programs to serve and assist low-income individuals, first-generation college students, and individuals with disabilities to progress through the academic pipeline from middle school to postbaccalaureate programs. TRIO also includes a training program for directors and staff of TRIO projects.

Super Blood Moon Rises By Juliann Daw
jdaw@borahsenator.com For the ones who stepped outside Sept. 27 and 28, we were greeted by a different moon. We were not only greeted by a supermoon, but also a blood moon. The normal moon is around 238,900 miles away from earth, a distance that would be like running around the earth 9.6 times. On the night of a supermoon, the moon is closer to earth. Because it was so close, it looked 14 percent bigger than it normally looks. The moon moves ocean tides, so does the Supermoon cause flooding issues? The Supermoon changes the pull on the earth, pulling the water closer to earth, but not enough to cause floods or unusual weather events. Sunday, Sept. 27, was the night of a lunar eclipse, which has four steps that cover a year or more span. Each eclipse has a certain amount of the moon being shown: the first only a sliver of the moon, and each one after that a little more, according to CNN.com. The term, Blood moon, refers to the moon when it turns a redder color during a lunar eclipse. The color is due to the sun still getting some light through the earth to the moon at a lower and longer frequency. The color of the reflected light makes it red. If you happen to have missed this view, don’t worry; the next one will be in the year 2033, so mark it on your calendar.

Students tell about balancing work, school By Abigail Roundtree
arountree@borahsenator.com Many students these days have jobs after school and on the weekends. We all know how difficult it is to manage homework alone, so how can these students juggle a part time job as well? “It’s all about time management,” said senior Isabelle Barton, who works at iHop after school. She squeezes homework in during breaks and after work. She explained her easier classes and her flexible hours at work not only make
it possible to keep her job with school, but makes her job enjoyable as well. Another senior who said she enjoys her after-school job is senior Sarah Graves, who works as a cashier at Sears until 9:30 p.m. She described her understanding and professional managers and talked about how she loves Sears’s zero discrimination tolerance policy. However, it’s not all fun and games when it comes to working. Junior Amber Fletcher left her job because the stress of her hours and her three AP classes was too much to han-
dle at once. Someone that really can take a workload is junior Toni Murray. She manages to juggle school work and two jobs. Every other day she trains horses and teaches children, adults and special needs kids to ride horses. She also babysits every Tuesday. Students who add work to their schools are required to put in a lot of effort and dedication. While some students like their job, others find it hard to manage. It’s ultimately up to the student to decide if it’s worth it to balance the two.

Students meet well-known writer By Aurora Wellington
awellington@borahsenator.com Katherine Howe, New York Times bestselling author of popular titles like “The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane,” “The House of Velvet and Glass,” and “Conversion” visited the Borah library Sept. 24 during fourth period and lunch. During fourth period, Howe talked about where she came from, how she ended up here, and about some of the books she has written. With the students who attended the lunch discussion and book signing, Howe discussed everything from imagery to subplots. Howe’s fiction has been translated into more than 25 languages, according to her website, katherinehowe. com. She has also hosted “Salem: Un-
masking the Devil” for the National Geographic Channel. “It wasn’t just one thing that made me become a writer. I would write to relieve stress. It was a series of unfortunate events that brought me here,” said Howe. The casual setting was filled with small talk and easy laughter. Most of the students present appeared to be admiring their newly signed copies of “Conversion” and “The House of Velvet and Glass” while the others were busy asking questions. Howe was invited to Borah because she made an appearance at Rediscovered Bookshop. If an author hosted by Rediscovered Bookshop agrees, he or she will travel to one or two schools in the Boise area. Howe agreed and was welcomed to speak at Borah.

Sheila Miller, World Language Teacher, district and school administrators, and students from Japanese classes receive an honorary award on behalf of Borah. By Aurora Wellington
awellington@borahsenator.com Consul General Furusawa presented to Borah a commendation in recognition and support of its Japanese language education program. The Consul General for Japan (from Portland, Oreg.) visited the Borah library Sept. 28 to present the school’s award to Japanese teacher Sheila Miller. “We are committed to recognizing and supporting the study of the Japanese language as one of the best and most powerful ways to create mutual understanding and respect between our two nations,” said Robert Hirai, Honorary Consul of Japan in Idaho. The Japanese
government and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs implement the importance of Japanese language programs throughout the world. Hirai and Furusawa toured the Borah campus, gave a presentation to Principal Tim Standlee, visited a Japanese class, and then Furusawa gave a presentation to a multitude of students in the library. All students in a Japanese class were invited to the presentation, many of whom came. “It was interesting, because we were one of the only schools they came to,” said junior Isaac Dittus, a student in Japanese 2 who attended the award ceremony. “It was cool to be recognized.” said Dittus.

Students’ families evicted from nearby rentals By Hana Krogness
hkrogness@borahsenator.com Residents of the subunit apartments, called the Glenbrook Apartment Complex on Curtis Road across the street from Borah High School, opened doors to their homes Sept. 9 to eviction notices that alerted them to the 30-day period they had to move, whether or not the tenants were in good standing with the landlords. Many of the tenants happened to be refugee families, made up of some who have been here for a few months and also others that have resided in the Glenbrook apartment complexes for many years. The tenants, with the help of the International Refugee Committee (I.R.C.), and social workers, have been scrambling to find new homes. “We are all looking for new places to live, and I’m very lucky because my family has been here for a while, so it’s easier for my dad to find housing. Some people just moved to the country and can barely speak english”, said a Borah student the week after the eviction notices were posted. Verity Property Management, Inc., is the company who manages Glenbrook apartment and also 11 other apartment complexes in the Boise area, “They maintain and increase property values through stabilized occupancy while obtaining market rents and controlling
Library lunches spur creativity By Abigail Roundtree
aroundtree@borahsenator.com Makertime Thursday is a returning hands-on activity held in the library at lunch every week. The library’s newest aide, Laura Johnston, who supervises it this year, said the projects are for everybody and range from knitting to robotics. “It’s not Martha Stewart time,” said Johnston. “It’s get your hands dirty and make something time!” Makertime is student driven and designed around what crafts the students who are involved want to try or make.

Glenbrook Apartment Complex was purchased July 24 by a new owner, and it has been stated that the buyer bought the apartment to renovate and charge higher rental prices. The buildings have been under construction already. “We’re willing to give them one or two weeks longer (than the original 30 One student offered the idea of amigurumi, which are little dolls made out of yarn, so Johnston acquired an amigurumi craft book and a variety of colors of yarn. “I like the doll idea,” junior Cali Gutierrez said. “It all sounds cool.” A lot of money was spent for various types of projects for the students to use. Eventually the library will have a 3D printer as well. “We’re definitely looking for some leadership,” Johnston explained. She hopes more students show an interest in Makertime and take advantage of the resources, such as the 3D printer and robotics to learn and use for their own creativity. It’s open to any and every student who wishes to attend, and will change and evolve based on the participants and what they’d like to try.
days), but not a month or more time, because we want to start renovating the interior of the apartments,” said Jeremy, who provided no last name, and returned one of the Senator’s phone calls. The spokesperson from Verity Management provided no last name. “Most of the tenants are on month- tomonth leases, which means they can be put on a 30-day notice by the landlord.
So it is reciprocal that the landlord can also do the same,” stated Jeremy. Junior Valentina Ramirez said, “When I got home from school on September 9th, I saw a note on the door.” She also said, “We had a lot of cockroach problems in the past and I would talk to the manager we used to have and she would eventually come and solve it. Then, recently, there was new management and they would say, ‘Yeah we’ll come deal with them,’ but they never did.” The exterior of the building has been in construction since the summer, and outside spaces have been cleaned up. The roofing, decks, and stairs have all been worked on. “My mom doesn’t speak English very well, so I was the one who went to go ask about the eviction notice, and at first they told us ‘we don’t have a reason, all we know is you guys need to move out,” said Ramirez in September, a week after her family received the eviction notice. The rent is being changed from $500$600 a month to $800-$1,000 after the renovations are completed. Students from Boise and Meridian area helped families pack on Oct. 10. “I think it’s ethically wrong to make families, especially immigrant families move out of their homes on short notice. Not only did they come here seeking refuge, but also helping them pack up moving vans and observe families that still had no idea where to go was upsetting,” said senior George Kanku.

Major changes in ELL make students uncomfortable How is the District and Borah going to fix the problem without having students try to stay at Borah for more help? By Abdullah Salman
asalman@borahsenator.com Changes in the English Language Learners (ELL) offerings are underway at Borah. The Bridge name has been changed to Newcomers, and newcomers who graduate from the sheltered English learning environment are placed straight into mainstream classes at Borah and district home schools. This story is written by a staff writer who came up through the previous Bridge program. According to the Boise School District website, the Bridge program is a program within a school that provides an intensive English language program to limited and non-English speaking students in grades 7-12. Bridge is a program primarily for newcomers to the country. This program provides the opportunity for junior high and high school students to build a strong English foundation through content instruction before attending their home schools. The program is hosted at Borah High School and Hillside Junior High School. The program has been at Borah for six years, although it was located in a separate building prior to its move to Borah. “The program is a sheltered class environment for those newcomers to the U.S.A. when those students need extra time and practice to strengthen their English and other subjects,” said math teacher Laura Boulton, the newly appointed chair of the English Language Learners (ELL) department. Boulton said students in the program start in low levels and special classes and special teachers or as Boulton said, “Students who are brand new to the state or have been here less than two years are eligible to be in the Bridge program. After their second year, students transition to more mainstream classes.” After finishing the Bridge program, students used to stay at Borah, because they were still getting more help than they would in any other school. In order for students to communicate more with their new world and have a better chance in their new life in the U.S.A., they are expected to start attending their home schools and learn from their classmates in their homeschools, which is hard to do.
To further encourage students to begin attending their home schools, a middle level of ELL classes -- a modified level of core English and math classes -- along with teachers for them were eliminated. Now, a lot of students who have completed the Bridge program still need ELL English classes. Up to last year, they were able to have added support when they stayed at Borah. However, some of of those students do not need additional modified support and are doing just great in their new schools (they still get some help in their home schools, but it is way less than what used to be available for them at Borah). For those newcomers who completed Bridge last year and are now in regular classes at Borah, many still feel so new in the U.S.A. and so new to English that they are really in need of those ELL teachers and classes that were eliminated. Over the past few years, Borah provided amazing classes for ELL students. Classes with the English Language Development (ELD) learner in mind were simple and easy English classes for those students who needed extra time to complete assignments in their modified ELL English classes. The ELD classes were way easier than the ELL classes that have been removed from Borah. Students were in ELD classes , until they moved to a new stage in which they would take a special but harder ELL English class. After that class, they would go to the regular classes and that is when they would graduate beyond the Bridge program altogether. Students now have to jump from ELD classes to Regular classes with no support in between. Students who are not ready for this step just sit in their English classes and not understanding anything and will likely fail those classes, because there is no longer a Bridge program. Their English level is still not in the stage at which they should be moved into a regular class. That is when they need those ELL classes that have been removed. Once a student is moved into those regular English classes, they have to start taking most of their classes as reg-
ular classes, such as Math and History classes. Another problem occurs when the grades in their old ELD and the easy ELL classes are high grades. Those classes weren’t as hard and were just in a perfect speed for their English level, but counselors now have to put them in high regular classes to see if they would do as good as they did in their ELL classes. The Bridge and modified teachers have always encouraged students to move up as quickly as possible, but students for whom this doesn’t work always had a chance to move back down. Now, without that option and the very long time needed for some students, their credits may be hurt. If the old ELL classes By Abigail Roundtree | aroundtree@borahsenator.com were still there, those students would be able to go through the process step by step and ELL students for about 19 years.

Borah defeats Capital, first time since 2003 By Rhodes Martin
rmartin@borahsenator.com 2003. It may not seem like long ago, but 12 years ago was the last time a Boise School District High School had beaten the Capital High Eagles in football. Then on Oct. 2, 2015, the Borah Lions changed history, and pulled off what seemed like a miracle win against Capital. The teams and fans were full of hype coming into the game. The rivalry started well for Borah with the freshmen team handling Capital, but then Capital evened it up with a commanding win over Borah’s JV team. This made stakes high going into the varsity game. The game started off with a quick and explosive drive for the Eagles. After some good runs, junior quarterback Drew Korf threw a touchdown to senior receiver Sam Brixey that was followed by a missed extra-point, which left Capital with a 6-0 score over Borah. Borah was able to answer and cap off the first
quarter with a touchdown and a 7-6 Lion lead. In the second quarter, the Borah defense forced a huge turnover on a Capital fumble. The Lions, with some good running and passing, punched the ball into the endzone, taking their opportunity and a 14-6 lead. Capital followed the score with one of their own and a two-point conversion, tying the game at 14-14 with 8:38 left in the half. The following Borah drive began from its own 20. The 80-yard drive was followed by a one-yard touchdown run from senior quarterback Hayden Brown. The Lions had the lead with 6 minutes left in the first half. However, Capital scored once more for a 21-21 tie at halftime. The third quarter was a blur. Each team was driving and putting up points, leaving neither team with an edge. Borah started the 3rd with a score and the lead, but then Capital scored two un-
answered to take the lead back for the Eagles. Brown ended the 3rd quarter with a 12-yard touchdown, leaving the two teams knotted up at 35 each. A rivalry is defined by its 4th quarters and big plays, and this rivalry is no exception. Junior quarterback and the Capital Eagles took a lead on Borah 42-35. Then Borah and its strong passing game gave the Lions just what they needed in another touchdown--tying the game with 8:24 left in the fourth quarter. A couple of good possessions by the defenses brought the tie late into the fourth quarter. With 2:01 left, the Lions took a late 49-42 lead. Capital was left with two minutes to attempt a score and send the game into overtime. The Eagle’s offense made its way into Lion territory with little time remaining. Borah was able to make a few key plays on defense and forced a fourthand-5 play for Capital.
As Capital set up for the play, the Borah stands erupted.The bleachers rumbled like the ground during a wild beast stampede. The ball was snapped, pressure came, Korf rolled right, and took off for the first down. He was stopped by The Borah Defense near the yard to gain. Once the official signaled, Capital had been stopped short and failed to convert on its fourth down. The victory was sealed, and the crowd’s excitement was off the charts, as the Lions piled into the victory formation. Borah snapped the ball, took a knee, and ended the game, along with Capital’s reign. Borah had done it, they won 49-42. The Borah fight song was sung with smiles as wide as the Grand Canyon. Borah fans exploded with cheers and victory posts on Twitter. After more than a decade of defeat, Borah vs Capital was officially back to a rivalry, and a good one at that.

Homecoming night rivalry game By Rhodes Martin & Max Reitman rmartin@borahsenator.com mreitman@borahsenator.com
After a week full of homecoming activities, the Borah Lion football team looked to take on long-time rival, Boise High, at their home opener at Dona Larsen Park. The game was set the night before Borah’s annual Homecoming dance; the whole school was pumped and ready to beat its rivals. The game was in Borah’s favor from the opening possession. While the Lions started on defense, they forced a Boise fumble and got the ball back with good field position for their first drive. Senior quarterback Hayden Brown electrified the Borah crowd with a long pass to senior receiver Jake Paulin. The three-play drive was capped off with another connection between Brown and Paulin on a fade route to the back of the endzone. The Lions seemed ready to play early in the first quarter. Though quickly, the momentum shifted as junior receiver Oliver Munch returned Borah’s ensuing kickoff to the
5-yard line. This put the Braves in scoring position, with a chance to tie the game. The defense did their best, but still Boise capitalized with another big play by Munch, as he caught a 7-yard touchdown pass, tying the game. The momentum stayed in Boise’s favor, as Brown threw an interception, leading to another Boise touchdown with two minutes left in the first quarter. Although before the quarter ended, senior Ryan Bartunek drilled a field goal for the Lions, making the score 14-10, Boise on top at the end of the first. The second quarter began with back and forth play between the two teams, as Boise answered Borah’s field goal with one of its own. Brown provided another spark, scoring a Lion touchdown with a 12-yard run, as Borah knotted the score at 17 a piece. The game seemed to be going into the half as a tie, With 5 seconds left in the first half, Boise answered with a touchdown of their own on a deep play-action pass, placing them ahead, 24-17. Halftime was full of good spirits for the Borah Rowdies and the Lion fans.
Senior Abbie Linford was announced Homecoming Queen, which generated lots of cheers and smiles in the Borah crowd. The marching band, led by senior Ian Pogue, rocked Dona Larsen for the remainder of the half. Spirits were high approaching the second half. Borah received the ball to begin the second half and scored on its first drive, to notch the game up at 24. Boise held Borah and its fast-paced offense for the rest of the third quarter. Ultimately, the Boise defense forced Borah to punt the ball, but the punt was blocked, and recovered in the endzone for a Boise touchdown. The score was 31-24 in favor of the Braves. As the fourth quarter progressed, the Lions pulled away with two unanswered touchdowns, taking the lead, 38-31, with 4:52 left in the game. After trading possessions, Borah forced a key defensive stop, and took over on offense at their 30-yard line with 1:55 left. Due to timeouts and outstanding defense from the Braves, Borah punted the ball, and put Boise on their own 4-yard line, meaning a 96-yard

drive would be needed to tie the game. After a few deep pass tries, Boise connected on a long pass to Munch, which put the Braves in a excellent position to score. Boise then connected on an outround to score, and the game was sent to overtime with a 38-38 tie. Boise won the coin toss and had the first chance to score from the 10-yard line. After three plays, Boise was able to convert, and the ball went to the Lions, down 45-38. On the Lions first play of overtime, Brown lasered a pass over the middle to Bartunek, who then had to kick the extra point. Boise’s student section cried “block that kick!” as Bartunek lined up for the extra point. As the ball was snapped, Boise senior defensive tackle Valentino Daltoso, shot through the line, and batted the ball to the ground along with the Lion’s chances of victory. The Borah crowd stood in silence as the Boise cheers rang on. Although even with the heart wrenching loss, the streets of downtown could still hear the proud Lion Fight song, a Borah tradition after win or loss.

Sophomore varsity triathlete sets goals, practices By Max Reitman
mreitman@borahsenator.com Sophomore Alesia Jones is a three-sport varsity athlete, in volleyball, track and basketball. Q: How have sports impacted your life? A: Sports have impacted my life in such a positive way. If I didn’t play the sports I do, I wouldn’t have met the majority of people in my life, and my closest friends. Q: Being a three sport athlete, what sport is your favorite? A: I would have to say basketball because I have played it the longest and know the game so well. Q: Do you find being young for your grade gives you a disadvantage?
A: I think that since I am younger it is kind of a disadvantage because I am playing against girls who are 17 and 18 and have had way more experience than I’ve had.
Q: How do you prepare in the offseason? A: During the offseason, I just practice and do what I can to make myself better. Q: What coach has made the biggest im pact on you? A: Here at Borah the coach that has made the biggest impact on me is probably my basketball coach Jason Willer. Q: How were your experiences participating in varsity basketball, volleyball and track as a freshman? A: It was a great experience. I was exposed to a lot of bigger and better competition which motivated me to work
harder for this year.
Q: How do you prepare before games? A: Before games or a meet, I usually just listen to music because it helps me get focused and ready. Q: Do you prefer Borah over South Jr. High? A: Yes, by far… but I did enjoy getting out at 2:30. Q: How did it feel to get a white letter as a freshman? A: Awesome. It was a great feeling. Q: What are your goals this year? A: Well, for sports, my goals are to give it my all on the court and track. I would like to get another white letter, place in state for the triple jump, go to state in basketball and just continue to get better.

Sophomore Alesia Jones sets for her varsity teammates.
Senior football captain reflects about brotherhood of game he quit but I didn’t want to quit, because I’m not a quitter. I made a whole bunch of friends on the team, and then i realized I’m pretty good at this, so I continued to play the year after that and so on.” Q: “Where did you get the inspiration to play from?” A: “I watched football on TV, college football is always interesting. In elementary school we always played soccer or football.” Q: “What is your position?” A: “I play cornerback right now, but when I was younger I played cornerback and wide receiver, but in 9th grade my coach was like maybe you should just stay playing defense, and I’ve tried out playing different positions through out the years but I’m best at cornerback.”
Q: “Can you name a situation when you acted like a role-model to the underclassmen?” A “When we lost to Boise, everyone was super down on themselves. The younger team members where sad and we, being the upper class-man, have a had bad losses in the past and just helping them realize that game wasn’t that important over all. We still had six games to play. Also teaching them who not to blame on the team, because that game shouldn’t have been so close to start with, and there shouldn’t have been so much pressure on the kicker.” Q: “What would you say your or your teams strongest points in football are?” A: “Our teams strongest points are we are really good at learning on the fly, because we communicate well together. We’re good at applying what we are told or taught in the moment right away. We set a good attitude for each practice.
Senior cornerback Anes Srna tackles a Timberline wolf.
Q: “What is your favorite part about playing with your team?” A: “The brotherhood that you have with your teammates, and the trust you have with them. I trust my teammates on and off the field. We’re like a family and that helps when we’re on the field”
By Hana Krogness
Q: “What do you bring to the team?”
Q: “What have you learned from football?” A:”I learned that team work is huge, there is 11 people playing on the field with you at one time and you need every person to do their job. If even one person is not doing what they’re supposed to do then the play won’t work. Teamwork makes the team work.
A: “I’m a senior and I’m a returning starter. I have a role of being kind of like the dad of my DB (defense back). They other defense players look up to me for advice, like even if the coach says do this, they come to me and if it doesn’t work for the situation, I’ll tell them nah do this. Also being a senior i really like the opportunity of being a role model to the under class-man.
Q: “What are some lessons you have learned in football that you can apply to your life?” A: “When you doing something, to put your all in every time. Football is such a physical sport, and it’s so easy to get hurt, that you have to treat each play like it’s your last. So in life you never know what’s going to be your last time doing something.”

The Borah Senator 11
No. 1 Lion golfer upholds family tradition of sport By Rhodes Martin
rmatin@borahsenator.com Junior Matthew Vermeer is now the No. 1 golfer at Borah, looking to follow in his brother’s footsteps and lead the golf team to state this year. Q: Who is your dream group to play golf with? Matt: Rory Mcilroy, because he is a great guy and golfer. Jordan Speith, because he is No. 2 in the world and is a class act role model. And Jack Nicklaus, because of all the majors he has won. Q: Who is your favorite golfer? Why? Matt: Jordan Spieth, because he is young and really good, but also because he was on the last hole of the PGA championship against Jason Day. It was a long putt for Jason but he just had to get close, so Jordan knew he was going to lose. Instead of being upset he made a nice thumbs up gesture towards Jason as a sign of congratulations. Q: What does golf mean to you? Why do you like it? Matt: I like golf because initially my dad played golf as a kid, my grandpa loved golf as a kid, my dad has won the tournament of champions--one of the biggest tournaments in Idaho--and so I just liked golf. It’s fun and is just relaxing to me, most of the time. Q: How did you first get into playing golf? Matt: My dad--I remember him taking me out when I was three years old. It was fun; I had these tiny clubs and I just loved it. Then I remember when I was four, I hit my first shot past 100 yards. I still remember that shot and I have loved golf ever since. Q: Now that you are the top golfer at Borah, can you recall how much work you had to put in to get here? Would you say golf is a sport anyone can just pick up and be good at? Matt: This is one of the hardest sports to be good in. You have to know everything from how to hit a low shot, how to hit a high shot, how to bend the ball, how to hit it straight when you need it, and how to distance your clubs. You need to know whether or not a 9-iron will get you over the water. Distancing your clubs is vital, in order to be good.

Junior Mathew Vermeer keeps his golf clubs in the back of his car trunk. He recently showed the Senator his golf swing. “I remember when I was four, I hit my first shot past 100 yards. I still remember that shot and I have loved golf ever since.” Q: You play golf all the time, with friends and for tournaments. Do you have different mindsets for the two? Which do you feel you play better in? Matt: When I’m with my friends I play a lot more relaxed, and I don’t take it that serious--I have other things on my mind. I talk about school, other sports, girls (haha), and chores. But when I’m in a tournament, I am almost only focused on golf and how I should hit my next shot. What club to hit here. And I need to make important decisions in tournaments. I overall play better in tournaments because I am just less distracted. Q: In a tournament, before a big shot, is it tough to clear out all distractions? Matt: It’s easy to get distractions out of your head if it’s that big. You should be able to clear everything out. Last year I was shaking when I went up to a putt in districts. There was probably 50 people around, and I had a birdie putt from 10feet. I knew I needed to make this putt, and I did so. It felt really good in front of fifty people to make that birdie. Q: What is the most frustrating thing in golf? Why does it bother you so much? Matt: Unsportsmanlike players who scream and yell. They are just not fun to be around. Q: Last year you barely missed state
with your brother as the other Borah golfer. What do you think held you back? Did you do anything to change that in the offseason? Matt: Knowing and using specific clubs, I got new woods this offseason and have been improving on them and really believe they will affect my game.
play once you have mastered it. Q: Do you feel you have anything to prove in golf this year? Are you nervous at all? Matt: I need to prove that I deserve the No. 1 spot, and I want to prove to the other high schools that Borah should be feared in golf.
Q: What is the most crushing time in your golf career? Why did it hurt so much? Matt: I would probably say in the 8th grade, in city. I was doing great, I got third place by one stroke, but I remember the putt I should have tied it on. I missed a three-foot putt on hole eight at Robin Hood, and I thought I was done. The next whole I shot a par, and the guy in front of me shot a double-bogey, so I only lost by one shot. I lost it by one stroke.
Q: What is the next step for you in golf? Matt: Get to state. Whether it’s me shooting a great score or my entire team performing well. Q: What do you think when people say golf is an easy sport? Matt: I think they are completely wrong. Golf is one of the hardest sports to master, and it takes constant practice to be successful.
Q: How do you act after a bad day on the course? Matt: I initially am pretty frustrated, but overtime I try to just think about other things--my dog being funny or something on TV.
Q: What has been the biggest challenge for you this offseason? The biggest need for improvement. Matt: Roughly my attitude--last year’s attitude was too loose, I didn’t take it as seriously. This offseason I have had a much more serious attitude, and have seen improvements in my scores.
Q: Will you play golf your whole life? Why do you believe that? Matt: I will play golf my whole life, I know that. because my Grandpa has, my dad has, and it’s an easy sport to
Q: Is there anything else you would like to say? Matt: I am really excited for this season. I think we will have a good team, due to a lot of new serious talent coming in.

Debate numbers grow, more classes added By Demi Manglona
dmanglona@borahsenator.com The debate team is increasing each year, and both the new and the old members have opinions on the split between novice and varsity classes. Debate is a cognitive sport which challenges the speaking and argumentative skills of each performer. Each year, more and more students chose to participate in debate while experienced debaters return for another season. Many varsity members came to the consensus that debate has helped them academically and socially. Debate teaches its students many skills, such as public speaking, research, structuring arguments. The team says these skills are important and that they apply it to everyday life. “Debate is really intellectual and helps you keep up with current events and politics so you can become more knowledgeable on those subjects,” said varsity member Natalie Willoughby. A few years ago, the debate team consisted of less than 10 people. This year’s debate team has approximately 50 members, and both the students and the coach have theories as to why debate has become a popular sport at Borah. “It speaks to the group of people who
are both academic and competitive,” said English teacher and debate coach Donnie Drobny. Drobny believes the desire to be the best is human nature, and debate provides a platform to compete for the top spot. Willoughby believes the growth is a combination of the team’s success rates and the influence of the ones who were recruited last year. Last year, six members, both novice and varsity, made it to the state competition. Due to their advancement, the team gained more recognition and support from their peers. Other novice members were influenced to join by their friends, but for Liz Heist, sophomore, it was her family impacting her decision. Her graduated older brother was in debate last year, which persuaded her to follow the path. “I think it’s because older siblings are getting their younger siblings into it [debate],” said Heist. Before this year, all levels of experience were integrated. Due to the increase, classes had to be expanded and separated between novice and varsity debaters, causing a contradicting opinion between the coach and students regarding the split. Drobny said he likes the separation because “it puts people with the same
experience level together.” Varsity member Clark Ahlstrom, junior, said he’s conflicted about the separation-- he believes it’s beneficial for varsity since the first unit of novice classes is review for varsity. On the other hand, novices may have trouble writing their cases without the help of a varsity member. “I wrote my very first debate case with the help of the varsity members, but this year’s novices won’t have that,” Willoughby said. Although she would prefer the classes being mixed together, she agreed with Ahlstrom and said the separation was understandable. One of debate’s most experienced member, senior Patrick Fitzgerald, doesn’t believe the separation is necessary. Many of the varsity members are concerned about how the novices will cope without help from their peers, Fitzgerald included. “Practicing with them [the novices] one night a week [on team night] and once in a blue moon is nothing like working with them everyday,” said Fitzgerald. Novices Mateyah Newby and Emily Wilde, juniors, agree the lack of varsity members in their class period limits novices from getting a good understanding of their topics.

Junior Clark Ahlstrom debates for class after school. Despite the class barrier, the varsity team still intends to help the novices as much as they can during team nights when all the members come together and run trial debates. The team looks forward to reaching state once again and to recruit more members for the future years of debate.
Color guard’s season marked by young team, new equipment By Demi Manglona
dmanglona@borahsenator.com The marching band’s color guard, not to be confused with ROTC’s color guard, that performs during halftime at football games is ready to bring on new routines with its new league of flagspinners. With flags, hoops, and batons, the color guard practices drills and formations on the field for football games and competitions. This year’s color guard consists of five people, only one more from last year with two returning members. Along with an almost completely different team, the guard is lead by a new coach and captain. Initially, the team started out with nine people, but only four made the commitment. Andrew Lindsay, junior, was added to the quartet four weeks af-
ter the season started. One concern within the team is the size of the group. Megan Kent, junior, said she likes a small group because it gives the guard more coach-to-member interaction, but it makes it more stressful on the field. Junior Skyler Stephanidis would prefer a bigger guard for visual purposes. “It’s hard being in a smaller team because usually color guard is big. Having less people on the team makes it hard to take up space,” said Stephanidis. The conflict junior Alexis Valle saw with a smaller group is having troubles with recruiting. She fears a smaller team will decrease and eventually cut color guard altogether. “We’re all going to be seniors next year, so if the guard is just us five again, the year after that color guard could be over,” said Valle. Aside from the worries of a small
guard, the newcomers are experiencing performances for the first time, starting with the homecoming football game versus Boise High. Captain Mateyah Newby, junior, and her fellow returning member, Valle, agreed their first performance this year has improved from last year’s homecoming performance. “It looks like it would be nerve wracking to perform in front of all those people, but it’s actually really fun,” said Stephanidis. Lindsay said his late recruitment makes it difficult to keep up, but he gets a lot of help from other members. “It’s more than a routine. It’s kind of like reading music, but, instead of reading off a paper, you have to read the field,” Lindsay said when describing his first experience on the field. All the members agreed their goal this year is to step up their game and
have each member know their roles in the drills as best as they can, and to “achieve a clean performance early in the year,” according to Newby. Helping the group attain its goal is Joanne Bressler. Bressler is new to the team and contributes to teaching the choreography and routines. Newby said Bressler is more organized and dedicated than the coach last year, which can help them step closer to their goal faster. As for team captain, Newby upgraded from team member to captain, hoping to keep the color guard on track when coach Bressler isn’t around. “This year, there’s a lot more responsibility. It’s a lot more stressful than just doing choreography with the team,” said Newby. Each member has his or her own inside plan for the season, but is ultimately striving towards the same objectives.

Sara Vallejo (senior), Rilee Patton (senior), Bailey Rogers (sophomore), Andrea Carter (junior), Kari Larsen (junior), Anna Kappelnan (junior) stand with their simulated babies for second period Child Development Class. These realistic babies are either hungry, need a diaper change, or need burped, according to teacher Shanon Holt.
Teens prepare for real world with simulated baby time By Natalie Arnold
narnold@borahsenator.com Here comes a time, in teacher Shanon Holt’s Child Development class, when students decide whether they want to endure a take-home baby (a BabyCare simulator) for an entire weekend. Not every student has to take home a baby; there are other choices, like interviewing a new mother and writing an essay. However, the purpose of the assignment is to give students an idea of how much time is taken up by having a baby. “They’re obviously not like real babies. There are really only three things that could be wrong: they’re hungry, need their diaper changed or they need to be burped,” Holt said. Despite being unlike real babies, the purpose of the assignment is still fulfilled because the time taken up -- especially at night -- doesn’t differ much from that of a real baby. “These babies are really amazing,” Holt explained. “They can sense abuse, temperature, and they’re all on certain schedules; every single one is different, of course. I find it funny when the kids have sleepovers with their babies and one will be asleep while the other one cries.” Junior Alexis Douglas said, “The most difficult part was losing sleep at night.” She and two other girls in
Holt’s Child Development class said they would definitely sign up for the baby simulator option again. When sophomore Tess Coe said, “This is my second time doing it though,” everyone laughed. “The best part was the reactions of other people; everyone thought it was a real baby at first,” senior Lissette Garcia said about taking her baby to a family gathering. The girls spoke about having a hard time getting sleep, which Holt said is one reason the assignment is so effective. “You get in the way of teenagers’ sleep and you get one grumpy adolescent,” she said, laughing. Moreover, she said, if one student decides to delay having a baby as teen, that means it was all worthwhile. In the class, they learn a lot about parenting and babies, from not only the time taken up by them, but also to the pain caused when adoption is the only option. Every year, during this unit in Holt’s class, a teen mom visits class to tell her story about giving her child up for adoption and the ensuing pain and trauma she experienced. It is this real life experience and seeing a person who’s actually experienced such a situation firsthand that helps place teen pregnancy in perspective. The most memorable of stories that Holt remembers is about a Borah student with a BabyCare simulator getting rear-ended at a stoplight by a texting driver.
The baby registered the force of the crash as abuse and started crying. The two girls pulled into a parking lot to exchange insurance. The Borah student started rocking the baby wrapped in a blanket to make it stop crying. The texting driver panicked, thinking that she’d hurt the Borah student’s baby. She apologized profusely and when a police officer came to the scene, he questioned the Borah student about her child, asking if she needed an ambulance. The Borah student discretely told the police officer that it wasn’t a real baby, and requested he not tell the girl who’d rear-ended her car. In doing this, it helped the girl recognize the consequences of her actions. Holt favors this story, because the baby helped a young girl learn a valuable lesson. Overall, these babies aren’t the same as a real baby and each student has multiple options; the BabyCare simulators aren’t the only one. The effect on each student varies from helpful and fun to stressful and tiring, much like having a baby in life. Holt said she hopes the effects of the BabyCare simulators and her entire unit based upon teen pregnancy will help Borah teens make informed decisions about being a teen parent. “It was fun!” three girls said of the entire project, but they all agreed that they weren’t ready to have that weekend of crying all the time.

Student Council club coordinator Interview We have six sophomore representatives and three from each junior high this year, and then we have nine seniors and about nine juniors. Q: What happens when student council goes to the junior highs? A: We want sophomores to be represented in student council. We want every class to have a voice. We go to the junior highs and we give them a little presentation about student council, like ‘hey, look, that’s what student council is,’ and then they go through a similar process as the high school kids do, but no one votes on them. It’s just the interview process and that’s how they are chosen.

Senior Chloe Fender is interviewed about her new position in Borah’s Student Council. By Abdullah Salman
asalman@borahsenator.com Student council appointed a new club coordinator, senior Chloe Fender, to oversee Borah clubs and activities. Chloe Fender: I was assigned to a new position this year, club coordinator. It is a position that has never been in student council before. Student council class’s job is to take care of clubs and events. They put on events, but they are also a great resource around Borah. They support and help out clubs. My job is to organize the clubs and organize the support that student council gives the clubs.
Senator Reporter: How were you chosen for this position? Fender: Every year, in order to get into student council, we go through an election process, and we run for a position. There are also appointed positions, and we go through and interview to get these positions. During the interview process, they realized we needed a club coordinator position, because that was something student council was lacking. So, when I didn’t get any of the elected positions, and, when they realized they needed that club coordinator one, they said that the people who didn’t make it, sort of, could go for the club coordinator. Q: Is student council mixed or are you all seniors? A: Student council is mixed, so every year we go to the junior highs and get sophomore representatives, and then we also open it for the entire school to run for the next year. So, there are juniors and seniors and also sophomores.
Q: Tell me more about the high school election ? How does that go? A: Every year, there is a week when students run and have their posters up and put their names and slogans on them. Student council brings a bunch of voting boxes and then people vote for the different positions. There is (Associated Student Body) president, and there are three different types of presidents (senior class president, junior class president, and sophomore class president). There is also secretary and that type of stuff.” Q: When did you get involved with student council ? A: I wasn’t in it sophomore year, but I have been in it last year and this year. Q: How do you feel about student council? A: I really like it -- it’s a lot of fun. Q: What about the new position? A: One of my main goals this year is to try to help student council stay on focus. We are the group to support clubs and put on events and not just the group that has the name of student council. We have the president who is in charge of everybody, then we have the
Powder Puff is Back -- and it’s ready to ROAR! Seniors vs. Jrs./ Sophs May 2016 Stay Competitive My Friend
vice president, and so he is the vice president for everybody. Then, we have the senior class president and the senior class vice president, and they are the representatives for senior class. We have the junior president and their vice president, and then we have the six people who are sophomore representatives. We also have six to eight people who have different jobs. I work with clubs and student council to support clubs, though every student council member has a club that they are in charge of, and they have to go and say, ‘I am from the student council and if you ever need help or anything, I am here for you.’ Right now, I am working on organizing that for the rest of the year, and I had everyone in the class find their clubs and ask them when they meet and write the meeting times down. I sent an email to all the teachers and said that I was their club coordinator, and only three people responded. So, I had to get started and see when all the clubs are meeting. We have so many clubs and only 33 students in student council, so sometimes a student is in charge of more than one club. Assigned student council representatives ask clubs for posters and some other stuff. I kind of organized it, and then as a class, we do the rest -- like this week we did the Pink Out Campaign, so the club made posters and we hung them up just to help get the word out. Also, as a class, we might help at the game on Thursdays painting the little things on people’s faces. We can help clubs with things like that. Q: Did student council have a club coordinator before and then it got canceled, or is this the first year? A: No, this is the first year. This is how I see it; each student is in charge of a club, then I am in charge of all those students, but the student council class students let the clubs know that we are there to support them and we are there to help them.

Classic throwback to the 1900’s James Dean- 1955
By Hana Krogness
Relaxed, simple, rebellious, and yet still a ladies man and a cultural icon.
hkrogness@borahsenator.com
Jane Fonda-1982
Aerobic-exercise video queen and leader oft he 1980s heath craze; working out never looked so good.
Step 1: Materials
Hair brush or comb, hairspray, hair band, bright eyeshadow and lipstick, tank top or leotard, leggings or tights, a loss crop top, a pair of knee high leg-warmers and any type of sneakers or vans.
Step 2: Face and Hair
Tease hair until it has tons of volume and use hairspray to keep hair from losing its voluptuous form. Helps if hair is curly or curled prior to teasing. Place headband so it goes slightly below hairline on the front of the head and is hidden behind hair in the back. Place eyeshadow on eyelid using bright blues, yellow, pinks and/ or oranges, coordinate a bright lip color to match.
Step 3: Outfit
First put on tights or leggings and then leotard (shorts can be worn over leotard). Put legwarmers on that extend slightly above the kneecaps.After putting on the leg-warmers slightly push them over the tops of the shoes covering any exposed ankles or leggings. Next slip the crop top over the leotard and hang off one shoulder.
Step 1: Materials
Classic blue jeans, a basic white T-shirt or a simple shirt, work boots (simple vans could also work or similar type of shoe), prefered red leather biker jacket, but black works as well, Comb, dark sunglasses with black frame, leather belt (any color). Optional a watch and biker gloves.
Step 2: Hair
James Dean was known for what is called a pompadour hair style, clean cut but yet still shows that unneat rebellion side. This look can be achieved by running a comb through the hair while also using gel to get hair to stay up. Then let top of hair stay slicked up while greasing down the side and back of head. Refrain from over gelling because being James Dean for one night includes a lot of hair combing.
Step 3: Outfit
First put on the blue jeans and buckle with a belt. Slide white t-shirt on and tuck into jeans. Place the leather biker jacket over the white shirt and partially zip the jacket so top of white T-shirt can be seen. Put shoes on and fold the bottom of jeans and then place over top of shoes. Place hair comb in the back of jean pockets. and add gloves if desired. Put on dark shades and your done!
Rosie the Riveter-1943
“We Can Do It!” Oh yes we can; represent the strength symbol for women nation-wide.
Step 1: Materials
Red bandana, blue button up long-sleeved denim shirt, tank-top, a hair curler, mascara, eyeliner, ponytail holder, bobby pins, leggings or black jeans (bottoms don’t really matter),
Step 2: Face and Hair
Do your makeup in a way you would normal do it, but place a little thicker eyeliner on the top lid and make sure to volumize those eyelashes with some powerful mascara. Lipliners, gloss or lipsticks of any color can be added to give your look a personalized flare. Leaving the bangs out, or the front section of hair, place hair into a high bun in the center of the head. After bun is completed place the red bandana with the tied side on top of the head. Then using bobby pins, pin bangs in a loop under the bandana or curl into tight curls and rest on forehead.
Step 3: Outfit
Put on blue button up long sleeved denim shirt over tank-top and type around belly button, then button shirt up while leaving out 2-3 buttons. Then after putting on the desired pants go stand by a yellow background with the caption “We Can Do It!” to take a iconic photo.
