Snow, ice, even more snow! January weather affects Borah campus By Moses Rodriguez

17moses.rodriguez@boiseschools.net January has been a freezing month for Idaho for this 2017 winter. The Treasure Valley has been experiencing freezing temperatures with snow and rain. It has not been this cold in the Treasure Valley since the mid 1980s. School districts in Idaho, including the Boise School District, have closed due to extreme weather conditions. All of this snow and freezing temperatures has taken a toll on everything at Borah High School, from its main water feed to the parking lots. Borah’s pipes and main water feed froze during the winter break, but was quickly repaired by Borah’s custodians. There was also water leaking through the roofs in various buildings. “We have had some minor roof leaks due to the buildup of snow on the roofs, but they have been taken care of,” Head Custodian Steve Thrall said. Custodian Rob Anderson said, “The basic things we did was just to try and keep up with the amount of snow. So just clearing everything.” He added, “However everything turned into ice, so we had to chip away all the ice so people wouldn’t trip.

We were just trying to make everything as safe as possible.” Fortunately, Borah’s problems were not too serious and were fixed rather quickly by the custodians. The custodians here at Borah have been working very hard to keep Borah clean and safe. “This is the one time that we are authorized overtime, because the focus is getting the school ready for the students, safety wise and building wise. We have put in extra hours to get the school ready for the kids,” Thrall said. Although most of the problems caused by cold weather here at Borah have been repaired, the parking lots aren’t looking so good. They are filled with snow and sheets of bumpy ice that make it very hard to drive and park. Many people have been confused about why everything but the parking lots were taken care of at Borah. But the custodians are not responsible for the parking lots. Rather, it is the school district’s job to clear out the parking lots for schools. “The district takes care of the parking lot, and my staff only takes care of the buildings, walkways, etc.,” Thrall said.“There is some challenge because there are 50 schools in the Boise School District and it does take awhile to get to every single one of them.”

Borah Bio

Sophomore artist shares inspiration behind her pieces

By Skye Vialpando

19skye.vialpando@boiseschools.net Sophomore Mikayla Hartley is an art student taking (class) who improves through both her own mistakes, as well as by watching the growth of other artists. To Hartley, the only thing that can stop her from achieving her artistic

January 24, 2017 dreams is herself, she says. Q: Can you describe your art style? Hartley: I take a lot of pieces from other people, because that’s basically what artists do. I’ve been inspired by other friends and artists from the internet. It’s sort of a fish mash. It’s taking things from other people to create your own style that maybe someone can look at too. What inspires you? Hartley: Other people’s art; to look at how far they’ve come through their art, so I know I can improve much better from what I am now and what I was earlier--into something I can be proud of. I guess that’s what inspires me. It drives me to move forward. Q: What was your first experience with art? Hartley: My first official time when I started drawing was in the sixth grade was when I just drew ponies. That’s all I drew! I had a turning point in the eighth grade when I started drawing humans, finally. They weren’t good, of course, but they’re getting better. I have kind of been drawing my whole life. I only started taking it seriously then [in eigth grade]. Q: Do you plan on continuing art in a career? Hartley: Yes. I do plan on majoring in art. I’m not sure which compartment, but I do know I want to continue on this. It’s what I like and I feel like can improve on this a lot, and make other people happy and inspire them to do so, too. Q: What’s your favorite medium and

why? Hartley: I really like using markers such as Prismamarker, Copics. But I’ve been getting into painting on the computer which is actually a lot of fun. I want to keep doing traditional art and I wanna get more into watercolor, but I feel like markers are kind of my prime. Q: Where do your characters come from? Hartley: One of my characters I based off of a song, actually. I started basing my characters off lots of songs that I hear--that I like. And anything I’ve seen in daily life, what people do; I kind of take that into aspect. I base some of my characters off of my friends. They’re still in the making. Q: How would you describe yourself as an artist? Hartley: I know I’m not as good as some people in the school. I know I can get better comparing my art to my old ones, and not others’. Improvement does not come from comparing yourself to others and making yourself feel like you have better art than theirs. It comes from accepting your art as a whole and knowing it’s changing all the time. Q: What’s your favorite piece? Hartley: I think it’s the one I most recently painted in art class. It was basically a flower vase and there was a window in the background, it just showed a mountain. I really liked it, and I put a lot of effort in it--taking it home. I put a lot of hours into it; I feel proud of it.

Child development runs Little Lion playschool

Shanon Holt | shanon.holt@boiseschools.org

The little Lion preschoolers and students are doing a craft together. Ariel Cordova

18ariel.cordova@boiseschools.net A blur. That’s all it is. A blur. Lots of them actually. About eight to nine if you counted. All dashing around in a frenzy with small shapes in their grasps. Bright colors assault your eyes with the force of the heavens and something pulls at you. Your eyes fixate on the small little cubs. Moving cubs. They’re children. Adorable, angel-faced children with snot pouring down their noses. The high school-run playschool teaches the Borah Child Development classes how to care for toddlers and help the todlers grow into their natural talents and learn from their mistakes. Although mini versions of regular sized objects like bears is cute, a mini version of a human is even more so. Seeing them might make a heart implode with affection. The preschoolers begin to pile into Room 315 at 8 a.m., and Eli and Vincent are always the first in the door, usually followed by Dash and Adalae. Playschool children behave much like high school students with a stereo-

typical way of responding to certain moments. “Preschoolers are a lot like high school students. The kids that are there resemble certain cliques in high school. You can get a guess of what the kids may be like when they’re older, because of how they act now,” said sophomore Sara Ard. For example, Vincent is a two-yearold neatfreak who refuses to make a mess with the blocks. When one of the student childcare supervisors dares to take blocks out and build something, Vincent knocks them down and puts them back in the box with the fury of a mighty dragon. Eli, on the other hand, is that cool kid that sits in the back all quiet, silently observing others and refusing to cooperate with anybody unless his best friend Dash is there. Said friend Dash is aptly named for his need for speed, and needless to say, tricycles are his favorite. Of the remaining five, Adalae is the hyperactive one in the bunch, always running around acting crazy, basic five-year-old stuff. Max is her male

counterpart, both rambunctious and loud, finding it hard to sit still at any given moment. Nora Jo and Rosabella are both quite quiet, Rosabella more so. They keep to themselves and don’t talk much unless they get really hyped up, which is rare for them. And lastly, Paige is the sweet, shy girl who had shed a tear or two on her first day. She began preschool a few days late, so while the other kids had already established friendships, she was having trouble fitting in; the fact that she was taller and a little older didn’t help. The five-year-old found comfort in the high school students in the class, preferring to hang out with the supervisors one on one than in a group. Teacher Shanon Holt prepped Child Development students for a month on what lessons to teach the kids every day and how to make it fun and exciting. Some lessons went better than others. The other teachers offered their help in the endeavour by giving up a little class time for the kids to come in and look in their classrooms or touch skulls, depending on the lesson.

For instance, more popular lessons like Dino day, pirate day, and western day were a hit because of the field trips. The kids got to go out in the halls on stick horses and cowboy hats, visiting classrooms and making more noise than what was probably allowed. One of the less popular days was Castle day when Vincent didn’t want to socialize and the preschoolers were testing their independence and running around doing their own thing. The high school students didn’t get through the lesson that day until second period when all returned to normal. Overall the playschool experience helped students learn the basics of taking care of kids and better understand how different toddlers can be in real life. They don’t follow the guidelines in the educational packets that were used to prepare the class about what most three and five year olds are like. It really is a case-by-case scenario. With this class’s help, most students who come out feel better about being parents or educational instructors one day.

Borah legacy spans 58 years of classes, sports ‘It was an athletic dynasty.’

Elaina.Swanson

19elaina.swanson@boiseschools.net Some clubs and activities at Borah have been around since 1958, when the school was built and named after William E. Borah, the lion of the senate. “He first won election to the U.S. Senate in 1906 and was returned to office five times by large majorities, making his tenure one of the longest in U.S. history,” according to Britannica.com. Borah High School is a three-year school that was named after William E. Borah. He was a U.S. Senator and internationally known as the “Lion of Idaho.” This is where the Borah mascot came from and the school slogan came from. Borah was a U.S. Senator for more than 32 years and ran for president in 1936. “(Borah is) best known for his major

role at the end of World War I (1918) in preventing the United States from joining the League of Nations and the World Court,” according to an article about William E. Borah on Britannica.com According to the Boise Schools website, “The construction of Borah High School in 1958 resulted in the tenth grade students returning to the high schools.” “(It)was the second high school

in the Boise School District.” Borah High School has been around for 58 years. Borah is a public secondary school for 10th-12th graders. It is home to the lions who sport green and gold colors. Borah High school is known for its sports. Many Borah sports teams win district and then go on to state. According to the May 18, 1979 edition of the school newspaper on the school’s online newspaper archive, “Our senior class has already brought four state championships to Borah making our school’s grand total 42.” “It was a football dynasty, in fact it was a dynasty,

an athletic dynasty,” said Kali Kurdy, a teacher who taught from 1973 to 2006. “I loved the kids, I loved the kids that went here. They were just special, fun, they were inclusive, creative. So I’d say the kids were the biggest thing I liked about Borah. The second best thing I liked about Borah was the fabulous faculty,” Kurdy said. According to the Sept. 20, 1963 edition of the school newspaper, “Sixty-three students are running for class offices this year.” In comparison, 40-50 ran for office last year. Chess club, yearbook, newspaper, drama, and student council are some of the school’s original organizations. Looking through the Borah Senator print archives one is able to see who the staff of the Senator was on September 20, 1963.

Campus facilities evolve from 3 buildings, lots of fields Phoenix Dunn

19phoenix.dunn@boiseschools.net “Things that are broken should never stay broken,” Principal Tim Standlee said when describing campus renovations. Borah was built between 1957-1959 in the middle of a farming community. Back then, there was plenty of space for sprawl and a unique design, which is the main reason for Borah’s large campus and separate buildings. However, as the school aged and the district grew, Borah needed renovations and modernization to match the rest of the Boise Bench. Former teacher Kali Kurdy, who previously taught here for more than 32 years, thinks Borah should be torn down and redone in a two-story style, like the junior highs-- but she said the asbestos prevents that. The addition of the New Gym in 2007 and the Auditorium in the 1990s verified and helped modernize the campus, and now it fits Borah’s programs and clientele. According to Principal Standlee, there is always room for improvement. He said, “Everyday there are little improvements and we are looking to get a bond or investment of $5 million to do referred maintenance and significant upgrades on the campus.”

He also said, “There have been many upgrades and renovations and much more still needs to be done in the next few years, but because of cost we are limited as to what we can do.” The original gym was renovated, because the codes needed to be up to date. The Old Gym couldn’t sustain the many sports that needed to practice indoors. Now, the Old Gym is only a practice gym, meaning any damages can be fixed without a big interruption and with easy renovations. An addition of a new larger gym was “desperately” needed, said Standlee. The New Gym was built during the spring of 2006 and wasn’t completed until 2007, the purpose for building it is to hold the larger crowds during games and tournaments. Additional classrooms were built-in for special classes, like sports medicine. Borah’s history is an interesting story. In the 1950s, the high school population severely strained the existing high school buildings in Boise. Part of the large increase in enrollment was due to the annexation of rural districts to the Boise School District during the late 1940s. In an effort to alleviate the crowding, 10th grade students attended the junior highs for several years. The construction of Borah High School in 1958 resulted in the tenth grade students returning

to the high schools. Between 1974-1975 when Borah had to manage 2,200 students, portables were brought in for extra space and to support JROTC. According to Kurdy, “They (the school board) changed the seminary times to recruit and take 60 or more students off campus for two periods a day.” She said this helped with the overcrowding. There was the baseball (Wrigley) field there but it was not what it is today, but there was no track. There were grass fields stretched all the way to the canal and to what is now Borah Park, which was used for outdoor sports practice. The attendance dropped exponentially when Capital and Timberline were introduced. With this drop, it gave room and money to allow facilities like band and sports to grow and modernize Borah. The lion out front of the New Gym was dedicated to the people who complained of the U-drive being taken out and to Troxell, a former coach which the U-drive was named after. The large practice field is now gone between the U-drive and the road, also past the track. The Auditorium was added, which was much needed and advances the arts: theatre, band, and orchestra. Borah High School Auditorium was

to allow the new facility to express itself to the community as a public building dedicated to the teaching and display of performing arts. Organizations such as JROTC used to have a space that was used as a shooting range. It was taken out and replaced with the weight room in the early 80s. JROTC no longer has a place like that, subjecting its curriculum and how it is taught. Both Kurdy and Standlee are proud of Borah and its potential and how it has grown into a unique place for students, faculty and parents/ guardians. Kurdy said, it’s very important to recognize the changes the Boise School District does to help Borah become a great school with a “pride” so big.

Borah’s North Korea Economic Summit team wins first place By Demi Manglona

17deminicole.manglona@boiseschools.net Congratulations to all the winners of last semester’s International Economic Summit! Borah’s own Team North Korea took all, winning the entire Summit, as well a few other teams who won in other various categories. The Econ. Summit is an event founded by Borah in 1971. It aims to place economy students into real world trading scenarios by assigning student teams to countries and letting them negotiate, ally, debate, and test their knowledge against rival teams from other classes and schools. The Summit of December 14 yielded the highest number of teams the history of the event has ever held with 101 teams--most from Borah, and others from Timberline High School, Boise High School, Idaho Fine Arts Academy and Idaho Arts Charter School. Considering the copious number of students, competition was vigorous and wild with points at stake. As the event transformed the spacious Jordan Ballroom at Boise State University into a crowded clutter bustling with costumed students and intricate table displays, it was apparent to students and teachers alike that the high energy levels would only benefit the experience. “I think most first-timers of the Summit expected a tame day where we didn’t have to go to school,” senior Natalie Willoughby said, a member of the winning North Korea team. Most students would agree the peak of the Summit started during the debate round, where North Korea piqued the interest of the ballroom, though mainly in a negative light. Comments were strewn by the team about the menial value of humanity, as well as a “threat” to nuke the room by senior team member Jared Harr. The team claimed Harr’s line was “supposed to be a harmless joke” and helped them stand out. With every “boo” the team received for their tactics in the debate (a round they did not win), Willoughby and senior team member Thomas Reisig claimed it was one step closer to their more or less surprising win.

“Winning the whole thing was awesome and unexpected,” Willoughby said. “I was shocked mostly because we didn’t win the debate, but even more shocked that we won smaller categories like Best Costume, considering there were several teams from fine arts schools.” The student winner was referring to Team United Kingdom, who crafted most of their clothes from raw materials. Despite the surprise, senior team member Ryan Kramer said one of the main indications of their success came from the ability to score a 100% on the economics test, as they were the only team who received a perfect test score. “I think getting 100% on the economics test showed that we won the summit because we understand economics, not because of any of the allegations” said Kramer. Team North Korea also won top low income country, top country costumes and a score of 100% on the economics test. Other winning teams representing Borah include Team Senegal and Team Ireland, both taking best table displays. Both Team Cameroon and Team Tunisia scored 100% on the geography test, also winning certificates. The award for top middle income country was given

to Team Argentina, and Team Austria took the cake for top high income country. The annual Econ. Summit would not be possible without the support and guidance of all the economy teachers. Special thanks teachers Andy Ankeny, Chad Bleazard and Jason Willer.

What causes, prevents concussions in athletes? By Juliann Daw

17juliann.daw@boiseschools.net Around 140,000 high school students get concussions, most coming from football, lacrosse and soccer. A concussion is a brain injury in which the brain is injured and changes how the brain works. This is caused by a hit, a blow or even a jolt to the head. Each concussion may result in different symptoms, such as headaches, dizziness, and sensitivity to light and noise. Upon diagnosis, students are supposed to be out for up to two weeks. On the other hand, it also depends on how the student wants to handle it. All athletes in their ninth grade year are tested for a baseline, in case of a concussion. The concussion baseline provides data to determine whether a person actually got a concussion. Because everyone is different, and it is sometimes hard to diagnose a concussion, so the baseline helps show any irregularities that are a normal part of an athlete’s brain. The baseline give the school direct a chance to see where the brain functions are normal at. Also how the concession affects the brain. After the concussion heals, they will test the brain again to

Clocks, intercom, PA system breakage By Moses Rodriguez

17moses.rodriguez@boiseschools.net Two weeks before winter break, Borah’s bells and clocks were not functioning correctly, Some of Borah’s teachers have mixed feelings about the whole clock/bell crisis as well. “It doesn’t necessarily affect my teaching as much as the students, during the last 5 to 10 minutes of class. And all of a sudden they start checking out, because they start checking their phones to see when class is over,” English teacher Kiara Hughes said. The clocks aren’t the only problem. Borah’s bells, intercom, and PA system are all connected together. So, when the district is trying to fix the bells, they have to keep in mind that what they do can affect everything else. “The clocks, and the bells, and the PA system, and the intercom system are all

intertwined. So when you lose one, you lose the other, and we would hear that the bell would be fixed but there would always be a glitch, so every time the bell would ring, the clocks would restart. So we just had them shut it down and turn it off until it gets fixed,” Principal Tim Standlee said. Many people might be asking, “Why

isn’t the district stepping in and trying to find solutions to fix the problem?” Well the answer is, they are trying and are doing what they can to solve the issue. “The district is going to put it out to bid to companies to install a brand new system, start to finish,” Principal Standlee said.

This online school is based in Mountain Home and is one of many online schools in Idaho. I learned of the school through my counselor at Borah High school. She talked with my mom and I about different options and schools, only some of which allowed me to be dual enrolled and still earn high school credit. Through Richard Mckenna Charter School, the first class taken is Student Orientation. It familiarizes the student with Google and its apps. Docs, Sites, and Slides are the most commonly used apps. In a geometry class teachers use other sites, like Khan Academy, to show videos and allow students to practice what they are learning. Though it may seem like just you and a computer screen, a teacher is available by email. Students don’t just stare at a screen. Projects get the mind off the screen and working. For example, my last project was finding mathematical proofs in the world around me and then writing up a summary of my findings. At a traditional school like Borah, students spend about an hour a day working on one class, and then move on to the next class. One thing these two schools have in common is the caring, understanding teachers. Though through an online school they aren’t physically there, they are just like Borah teachers, wanting to help their students grow and become the best they can be. For students who work best in a group and personal interaction with a teacher, Borah would be best suited for them. For those who focus on work, don’t want the distractions of others, and need a more flexible schedule, then looking into an online school is what I would recommend.

Misrepresentation in movies angers teen Ariel Cordova

19ariel.cordova@boiseschools.net “Pan”. “Doctor Strange.” “Gods of Egypt.” These movies and others have much more in common than one would think, and it’s not the fact that most of them are quite action packed, no --it’s that they are all whitewashed. For some it’s a touchy subject, with one side arguing the director was just taking artistic liberties or wanted the best they could find. On the other hand we have those who say it takes away from cultural pride for those outside of European descent. It’s discriminating, and for those non-white kids growing up, it’s dangerous. They could grow up thinking they could never be an actor/actress because they never see any colored actors, or they see a white person playing the role of someone they know is supposed to be Latino or African American. Of course sometimes it goes beyond just whitewashing; sometimes they take those white actors and try to make them look like the race they’re supposed to be playing. Anyone remember the 2012 movie, “Cloud Atlas?” Now, that movie is a prime example of this phenomenon. They took Caucasian actors and gave them folded lids and yellow makeup to make them appear Asian. This may not

have been talked about a lot due to the fact that the film was a flop. Not enough people went to see it too cause a major stir in the media, but most who did see it just thought it was racist and confusing. The practice of whitewashing started since the birth of Hollywood. “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” is a fine example, right along “Short Circuit.” We just never noticed until we stopped and looked back on the actual terrible things Hollywood has done. Not just with whitewashing, but having actors starve themselves for roles or method acting to the point of insanity. But enough about Hollywood’s shortcomings. We need to start cracking down on films and film producers. We, the teenagers, are the mass consumers. We have the control; we are the future, and quite frankly what we do here today could decide the shape of our future. Do we want to be like our predecessors? Unkind, selfish, and all too willing to put a fellow man down just to get ahead? We let the media poison us with using TV and editorials and giving all the right attention to all the wrong people. We have to stand up against this and fight. When we see an unjust move played, call the producers out. Stand together as a community and force others

to see just how destructive they are being. Now, I don’t mean force with our fists, but with our mental actions. Boycott a movie that supports stereotypes. Ignore and un-follow negative people who just want to see this world burn, to turn us against each other and while we’re at our own throats. Take power and turn this nation into something the founding fathers never wanted it to become. So we make change to become better people, as well as a better country as a whole. And it all starts with one thing: action. Ma conscientious decision and do the right thing. Gabriel Abille | 17gabriel.abille@boiseschools.net It is 2017. Why are we still casting white people in non-white roles? the most famous person they could get.

Debate proves more work than average employment Skye Vialpando

19skye.vialpando@boiseschools.net Debate has been viewed as a class for those who are, or want to be, confident, intelligent, and determined - that being said, of course one would insinuate that there would be high expectations. But when have we reached the limit - regarding working our students - or even gone past it? According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, as of 2014, an average work day for employed persons age 25 to 54 with children is 8.9 hours working. Sophomore Sarah Brudenell reported that her last debate tournament took 13 hours of preparation in one day; this number includes the coming to and from the Holiday Havoc competition

Sophomore Sarah Brudenell reported that her last debate tournament took 13 hours of preparation in one day at Columbia High. Even a tournament closer to home, placed at Borah for the Borah Novice, lasted from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. though not 13 hours, it’s still one hour longer than the average adult employed person living in America. The difference is that a mature per-

son, employed and with children, earns money at their jobs. As for the debate tournament attendees, they have to pay money to enter the competitions in the first place, despite it being required for the students’ grades and they spend roughly four more hours at a debate tournament than the average working person spends at a job in one day. Every novice debater must attend at least two tournaments the first semester, and an advanced debate student is required to attend three. The most time spent in the competitions is waiting for one’s next speech or discussion. More importantly, teenagers attending high school are not technically allowed to work 13 hours unless they ask for overtime. And upon having paid for the tournament previously, if

you were to drop from the events as a whole, doing so would be punishable by $50. Singular absences are instead charged with $10, as stated in the Borah High School speech & debate parentstudent handbook. Adding onto the total time spent after school, if you are a novice debater you must attend both after-school workshops and team night; team night lasts two hours and is mandatory. Otherwise, you may not go to the tournament that weekend. As for someone debating, whether to join the class or the club itself, there isn’t an option if a student joins the class. If a student signs up for the class, the student is also signing up for the club. While this itself isn’t necessarily a fault, it does appear as an annoyance for those who only wanted one or the other.

Arts & Entertainment Rapper brings his new album to life with an R&B twist 10

Demi Manglona

17deminicole.manglona@boiseschools.net Donald Glover, otherwise known by his musical alias Childish Gambino, has done it again with another breathtaking record. “Awaken, My Love!” has become an essential in my Spotify library, and for good reason. For this album, Gambino chose a fresh path straying from his usual rap/hip-hop style, and combined R&B, soul and funk into a 49-minute masterpiece. As a seasoned Gambino listener, I was expecting typical rap tracks filled with the song-writer’s usual clever punchlines, accompanied by computer-generated yet entrancing beats, but delving into the album, it is apparent the musician uncovered a new side of funk and soul: a renaissance, if you will, something the actor-turned-musician is familiar with. Gambino opens the album with the song “Me and Your Mama,” the first single prior to the record’s debut. Upon the first listen, I found myself questioning if it was in fact Childish Gambino belting

January 24, 2017

the soulful verses. Rasp and rage--the essence of this opening track--are not the first words I think of when someone mentions Gambino, but rather cadences of rhymes and relentlessness--the essence of his Spotify page. From this first track, I sensed Gambino’s evolution without any uncertainty. By the way the songs are arranged, the album seems to be split into three sections of longer, four-to-six minute songs separated by two-minute complements. This makes for a harmonious mixture of shaking vocal pieces and refreshing instrumentals to give the ears a break from the high-energy songs. More notable pieces include the second track “Have Some Love” for its groovy and spiritual soul sound; “Redbone,” which fills five and a half minutes worth of longing, urging vocals that pulls at the listener’s emotions; and “The Night Me and Your Mama Met,” for its fascinating way of telling a romantic story with merely soothing instrumentals and subtle humming. As enjoyable and controlled as Gambino’s new sound is, a few tracks may

be too much of a jump for even the bravest of musicians. For example, the track “Zombies” forces the concept of using seductive, female background vocals in retro-styled songs. There’s just such a heavy clash among Gambino’s distressed singing, futuristic flow and repetitive “lady-whispering” to carry an authentic 80s sound. Namely, the track “California” attempts a chiller, reggae/ funk attempt to contrast the rhythm and blues, but his muddled lyricism resulted in a messy piece that sounds out of place with the rest of the album. Despite the imperfections, the album and musical renaissance ultimately introduced Gambino to new heights. Though “Awaken, My Love!” keeps its focus on eerie messages encrypted within funk elements, it makes me wonder what caused the inspiration behind such an experimental development. Perhaps the multimedia celebrity enjoyed the transition from being famous for his acting to being famous for his rapping, he wanted to explore the thrills of being known for his singing and instrumentals as well.

All speculation aside, Gambino’s ability to stand in the same category as Chance The Rapper and George Clinton, the mastermind behind psychedelic funk through the 70s and 80s, reveals the artist’s outstanding flexibility and courage to jump genres and generations between albums. I don’t know what sound Gambino will execute following his retro-imitation record, but I do know he raised the bar, and I am expecting a creation as bold and brilliant as “Awaken, My Love!”

Classic love story leaves reader yearning for more Skye Vialpando

19skye.vialpando@boiseschools.net We look into the start of the book, fresh and waiting unlike you do most modern books where one finds themselves immediately picked up and carried straight into a direct scene; whereas in the classic book, Wuthering Heights, it starts slowly with a weary traveller, coming to the quaint, cold home of Heathcliff -- he meets the family and earns a conversation with the man himself, discovering his despair and odd crazed manner when regarding the voice outside the window, calling for a woman named Catherine desperately and begging for her return. Lockwood, the traveller, later becomes acquainted with Nelly Dean, eyewitness of Heathcliff’s history. Nelly Dean begins to address the life of Heathcliff; her words - the author’s writing - are vivid, filled with strong descriptions. There’s something unique about Emily Brontë’s writing, with characters created so realistically that readers are frustrated in their trying to solve the

The novel is entertaining and heart wrenching consequences of the characters’ actions. Brontë guides the reader along a journey, which involves Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff’s beginning together, then follows her falling in love with Edgar Linton - which the reader first believes is for Edgar’s promise of luxury and fortune - and then to Heathcliff’s leaving. We peer into Catherine’s seemingly lonely life, being without the ever so charming company of Heathcliff; however, she continues her life and eventually gives birth to two of Edgar’s children. During this time, Heathcliff’s grand return is revealed, and he acts much like a stranger - Brontë creates a wonderfully fluid transition upon doing so, cultivating great tension between Heathcliff and Catherine; she makes Edgar whole, his kindness and ignorance, as he suggests Heathcliff’s abrupt appearance to

be fortuitous, going as far as to say he may stay over. I find that this makes the air become much thicker in the home of Thrushcross Grange, Heathcliff’s presence disrupting the goodwill that once resided there. It has the classic ingredients of a raunchy love triangle, one made of bitterness and unforgiving pasts. Unlike most present day books, however, this one remains absolutely timeless. It leaves the reader wanting something more; wanting a good ending like a book usually closes with -- I found myself searching for a new novel, only to come across a sad discovery; Brontë has only one novel. Despite this, she manages to fill 245 pages - what I consider a small amount - and makes the story amazing! Given this fact, it proves her great management of storytelling and her even better way with words. Her literary skill is clearly displayed in the writing itself, pulling the reader right in, fitting right along with Nelly Dean as she tells the tale of Heathcliff. The novel is entertaining and heart

wrenching, becoming so by Brontë’s captivating character development. Readers are barely aware of a character’s change, because they grow with each character, and can only ascertain differences when they compare the beginning and the end results. The author’s skill is stark and fascinating, to a point where I was in awe at the author’s marvelous artistry. There is no way, no how, and no what about the peculiarity of this book. The subject in hand has, and always will, find itself in the hands of eager readers; the way the book portrays the tortured romance turns the quite cliche love triangle into something fresh and original. It made me feel like I’ve never read about a love triangle before, and I certainly haven’t read one like this. With its consistent twist and turns, readers will find themselves in love with the book in a similar way that Catherine found love in Edgar and Heathcliff - Brontë consumes the readers, using eloquent wording and descriptions. For the lover of brave, fast-paced novels, Wuthering Heights still satisfies this hunger.

The Borah Senator

Girl’s best friend helps her navigate crowded hallways Sophomore needs service dog because her vision impairment allows her to see colors, figures, and shapes -- ‘it’s just fuzzy.’ By Brooke Kerley

17brooke.kerley@boiseschools.net “Sometimes I go outside and just lay in the grass and stare at the sky because I know someday I will not be able to see it,” Rebecca Scott, a sophomore at Borah said. Since an early age, Scott has been diagnosed with Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP), a type of progressive blindness that incrementally impairs her vision year by year. Adjusting to the darkness might seem like an intimidating task for most, but Scott has a different outlook about the blind life. Throughout the journey through the dark, Scott has learned how to think positively. She has had impaired vision since she can remember--but she isn’t alone. In fact, her whole family has RP. It is a hereditary disease in which the retina of the eye gradually degrades, but according to Scott is far from being a disability.

“I am not completely blind yet. I can see colors, figures, shapes--it’s just fuzzy,” she said. “I also wear prescription glasses that help me out.” Walking on campus is made more manageable with the assistance of her service dog, Danika, who weaves her way through the crowded halls of Borah. She listens to Scott’s commands, sits patiently while in the classroom, and comforts Scott as a loyal companion. “The only time she is grumpy is when we have to put her snow shoes on so her feet don’t get cut,” Scott said. “She really hates me then.” Being able to have a dog at school seems like the ultimate plus, but Scott claims that blindness brings more. “A lot of people think of blindness as a disability, but there are things I can do that others can’t. I am a lot more in tune with touch and sound and feel them in more extreme measures.”

There are things I can do that others can’t.

First of three in science fiction trilogy a success

By Elaina Swanson

19elaina.swanson@boiseschools.net

hese Broken Stars, by Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner, is the first novel in a three-part series. It is a book that keeps the reader enthralled the entire time. There are unexpected turns in the plot, and the characters keep discovering themselves as the story goes along. The details of the writing allow the reader to feel the struggle of the characters as they fight to survive and fight the way they feel. The story of Lilac LaRoux and Tarver Merendsen is told from each of their perspectives. Being able to see the story from two sides allows the reader to feel closer to the characters. Each chapter and page is filled with details of what they are feeling and go-

ing through. The reader knows what one character is feeling even though the other character doesn’t. After crashing on an unknown planet, Tarver and Lilac must find a way to survive the unfamiliar environment that is different than any place even the experienced soldier, Merendsen, has seen.

ajor Tarver Merendsen is a teacher’s son and a soldier who worked hard to earn his rank. He’s been on many planets, but the one on which he and Lilac crashed is different. There doesn’t appear to be a colony, and there is something just not right. Lilac LaRoux is the daughter of Roderick LaRoux, the man who owns the only company that can terraform an uninhabitable planet into one that can support human, animal and plant life

all on its own. Though used to a life of luxury, she isn’t completely useless. She knows her way around most things electronic; she is after all the one who figured out how to launch their pod. Lilac and Tarver want nothing to do with each other, but as they struggle to survive, they realize there is more to the planet than meets the eye. Something or someone is whispering to them and trying to lead them to something. As I was reading this book, I couldn’t help but want the characters to be together. This was created by the dual perspectives. I’ll admit that there are some parts that might hurt one’s heart a bit and bring one to a point of wanting to scream, but I could not put this book down, and I doubt I will be able to put down the next two books in the series.

Junior achieves dream of playing college soccer Brooke Kerley

17brooke.kerley@boiseschools.net Junior Kenzie Kilpatrick verbally committed to University of Montana in late August of 2016 for a chance to play D1 soccer. The outside back has been playing the game since she was four years old along with constant support from her dad, who also has a strong passion for soccer. “I would say he is my biggest mentor, along with the teammates I’ve had throughout the years who have pushed me to better myself in every way,” said Kilpatrick. The athlete has seen college soccer in her future since the 3rd grade, when her teacher asked her to write down her goals in life. Top of the list: play college soccer.

“Top of the list: play college soccer.” Kilpatrick said, “Ever since then, I have worked towards that goal and never lost sight of it.” Her hard work and self determination opened many doors, including the full-ride scholarship offered from the Grizzlies–although, it hasn’t been easy for her. “There’s always those days where you’re not motivated, but you just have to push through them, because at the end of the day it is all worth it,” she said. To her, soccer isn’t just about the sport itself, but also the relationships with others it has allowed her to build. “Soccer has changed who I am by making me more social and more of a

people person,” Kilpatrick said. “I love the sport–don’t get me wrong, but the people that come along with it are what make it so special to me.” She is excited to become a part of the Griz family, where the players and coaches are more inviting than any other school she visited. “I love the fact that my future coach has high expectations for his players in every single way. He values success not only in athletics but also in academics,” Kilpatrick said. She will attend college in the fall 2018, when she plans to pursue a career in sports medicine. She looks forward to being away from home and becoming independent.

The Borah Senator

Analysis: Borah’s list of best basketball players By Aubrey Pulsipher

17aubrey.pulsipher@boiseschools.net

Ellis Magnuson (1) was known last year for being both the only freshman on varsity and the best freshman in the Borah basketball system. This year he is known as a starter on the varsity team as a sophomore. Ellis claims that a lot of his support come from not only the Rowdy section but from his teammates and coaches as well. Senior Max Reitman (5) has been injured for the entire season so far but plans to come back better than ever.

With the support of his teammates and coaches as well as his friends and family, Reitman takes his injury to his foot as a minor setback instead of a game ending one. Reitman has been on varsity throughout his entire basketball career at Borah and has only gotten better throughout the years. Senior George Tarlas (13) is known as the “Greek Freak” not only in football but now in basketball too. George came out of nowhere when he rushed onto the court as a starter and a top scorer for the team, making him a core element to the team.

The Rowdies show support for sports teams at Borah.

Junior Derek Opland Evers (33) or “The Dad” as his teammates call him, believes that the season is going okay and they have a few things to work out. With his parents and coaches being his biggest supporters, Evers thinks his team is going “in the right direction and the team is only going up.” Sophomore Kyler Castro (4) came out of nowhere and surprised the entire basketball system with his skills on the court this year. Draining threes and dribbling around opponents up-and-down the court makes Kyler one of the best players on Borah’s team.

Get Rowdy: club cheers on sports teams By Aubrey Pulsipher

17aubrey.pulsipher@boiseschools.net

“Opland-Evers drives the ball down the court and passes to Magnuson for a layup… and it’s good! The Lions win!” These are some of the best words that a Rowdie section can hear when waiting for the last seconds of the game to tick down on the shot clock. As these words are said, the infamous Borah student section jumps from the stands and rushes the court. The team is all jumping with joy, and the crowd

goes wild--while the opposing team walks out of the gym silently with their heads hanging low. As the boys leave the floor for the locker room to ready for a post game celebration, the devotees in the gym eventually, after about 10 minutes, calm down from the utter chaos that has just erupted from the students and fans as the boys leave the floor to go to their locker room for a post game celebration. As the team finishes its meeting, their fellow lions wait in front of the gym in fully black-themed attire for a final celebration together.

Principal Tim Standlee at a lunch meeting for all the Rowdies said, “You guys do so much for our boys while they are on the court. Celebrating for them and pushing them for these wins is more than we can ask for. You put so much energy in the gym not only for us but also to pressure the other team. There’s a reason we are the best Rowdy section in Boise,”. There is no greater adrenalin rush as a high school student than being tangled up in a student section that goes absolutely psychotic--win or lose.

Foot injury benches key player for first of basketball season By Aubrey Pulsipher

17aubrey.pulsipher@boiseschools.net

Any injury to athletes can cost them the chance to do what they love for a long time, making the injury even more devastating when it happens. Athletes are some of the most cherished people when it comes to high school, especially when they’re good. However they don’t just become an athlete overnight. It takes both time and dedication to become a good athlete. Senior Max Reitman fits this description perfectly. Max has played basketball since he was 5 years old, and the sport has become second nature to him, with the court as a second home; but he almost lost his chance to take the court for his final high school basketball season when he broke his foot with what is known as a Jones fracture. “It’s been hard not getting to play with my team on the court, but it’s also great just to see how much they have improved throughout the season, especially the underclassmen,” Max said, while supporting his team on the sideline of their games. “Growing up with basketball in my bones makes it that much harder to not play. Getting back on the court is something I hope to do soon, but I know I have a lot of work to do to catch up with the rest of the guys,” he said. Now that he has a metal screw in his foot, Max has been cleared to play since Jan. 8 and is rushing the courts and showing his skill to remind everyone why Mighty Max went from being the only freshman on varsity basketball, to being one of the best seniors.

Wrestlers focus on weight, team bond to win ‘Mental toughness is the game.’ By Baylee London

19baylee.london@boiseschools.net Between practices, tournaments, and even nap sessions the wrestling team vows to never let each other down. At least two hours each day is spent warming up, practicing drills, and live wrestling. These boys willingly give up their Saturday’s and after school hours for it.. Some of the boys live and breathe wrestling while others use it to pass time between other sports. If the practice is aggressive enough, the boys can lose around eight pounds due to the hard-working drills. These boys spend a lot of time together and it becomes a regular thing for them to mess with each other. They are commonly found teasing each other in the halls even outside of the season, yet their bond is unbreakable. “Our senses of humor sort of just align” Sophomore Rain Forrest says. Before tournaments, there are times where they all lay in each other’s laps to just be together. Junior Logan Bennett says that someone named it a “cuddle puddle” years prior to the season even though it’s just one big group nap session. When asked about it, a smile grows on each of their faces and sometimes even laughter slips.

Weight is one of the biggest struggles to most of the wrestlers. Weight classes are divided by every six to eight pounds. The boys must watch what they eat and stay focused. There is never an easy option to change their weight classes. “If I watch what I eat or not eat at all, I could float five pounds easy”, Sophomore Soli Harris said while devouring granola bar after granola bar. They will sometimes have to lose multiple pounds right before a meet but it’s easier than you would think. Some of the boys will layer heavy clothing and run laps in the wrestling room, which is said to be 90 degrees, to sweat off their water weight. Hydration is one of the most important things in preparation for wrestling according to senior Josue Cordero. Although majority of the weight lost per practice is water weight, consumption of water is very important for plenty of things like performance reasons. Wrestling as a whole can be underestimated. “Mental toughness is the game”, Sophomore Tanner Holt said. Being physically capable to wrestle is one thing, as anyone could attempt to pull off a “double leg takedown”, but not everyone is mentally strong enough to play. “It’s intense. It’s what makes us stronger” said Senior Ben Thomsen. The coaches are here for the same reason as the boys; to learn and grow. They are pushing the boys each day to become stronger and better at the game.

Female sophomore joins wrestling lineup By Baylee London

Baylee London |19baylee.lonodn@boiseschools.net

Sophomore Jordan Daw is the first female wrestler in Borah’s history.

Some of the latest buzz surrounding the wrestling team is the first female wrestler ever, according to Coach Justin Gardner. “I get a lot more attention from the guys. They joke with me a lot, but they’re respectful of me being a girl” sophomore Jordan Daw said. You might roll your eyes at the thought of a girl being on a wrestling team. Maybe you’re thinking her performance wouldn’t compare to the boys that she would be up against. The true views and thoughts of her friends and family was quite uplifting as well.

“Everyone thinks it’s pretty cool that I wrestle.” She said. Jordan’s motivation to join the wrestling team was for her 8th grade brother. She wanted to help her brother practice for matches for his school and somewhere along the way she joined Borah’s team. The team’s reaction wasn’t anything like she had imagined. “They treat me the same. They’re all nice and we get along,” she said. She faces the same challenges as every other wrestler plus an additional few for the same reason she stands out. “I’m just not as strong as the guys; not as efficient,” she said. “She’s just another wrestler. We’re all

here for the same reason,” senior Josue Cordero said. Jordan plays soccer, track, and tennis and her family was concerned that she might get hurt. Their worst fear was her jeopardizing her performance for those sports as well as her love for the saxophone. “Our mom and dad didn’t want her to join the team,” older sister, senior Juliann Daw said. “After she watched one of our brother’s friends break his ankle during a wrestling tournament, she decided she wanted to play.” After many long conversations, Jordan convinced her parents to allow her to play.
