S

ome people are born with a passion, and for others, that passion is discovered at some point in their life when they least expect it. The latter is how Virginia Prostor acquired her love for photography. “In my sophomore year I was in yearbook. I don’t know whether it was the class or just being able to take pictures, but that’s when I started to get into photography,” recalls Prostor. “I think I fell in love with the way that you can see the world differently just by looking through the lens of a camera.” Prostor does not just stick to photographing one subject, though, as her two favorite things to take pictures of are people and nature. “I love to photograph nature because it’s just so beautiful, and there are so many different things to take pictures of,” says Prostor. “I love photographing people because I try and make their personalities come alive through a picture. I use my friends as models all the time,” she adds with a laugh. Though Prostor would not reveal all of her favorite locations to use as a setting, “one spot I take pictures at is what my friends and I call ‘Narnia’ in Cave Creek.” Prostor also shared that, “I really don’t have any other hobbies besides photography. I mean, even when my friends and I hang out we drive around looking for new places to shoot at.” Julia Johnson, a senior and self-proclaimed “practice model” of Prostor’s loves the style of photography that Prostor uses. “She [Prostor] just knows how to capture something so simple in a picture and make it look amazing,” says Johnson. “The colors are also a reason I love

Virginia Prostor on why she became a photographer.

Virginia’s photography, they are always so rich and beautiful.” Though Prostor cites photography as her main hobby, she has considered turning her passion into a career, like majoring in Fashion Photography at ASU next fall. She has also started to turn her passion into a business. Mainly, she takes senior pictures for anybody that contacts her and expresses interest. “I charge 100 dollars, which is way cheaper than going to a studio like Cameo that can cost thousands. That fee includes driving to the location, or locations, of the shoot, prints of the photos and the editing.” As studios charge per picture, most families only select a few to save money. With Prostor, the only limit is “the amount of photos that

turn out well, which could be hundreds.”

Another aspect of her senior photo shoots that sets her apart from any other studio is that she leaves the location of the shoot and how the model looks up to the senior. “If the person has an idea of where they want a certain portion of the shoot to take place, we’ll drive out and see how it works out,” Prostor explains. “The photos should be a reflection of them, so who am I to interfere with that? But, most of the time, they don’t have any particular place in mind, so they tell me to decide, which I am fine with as well. I’m very flexible.” There is also a strange habit that Prostor has developed over the past couple of years. “I love naming all of my cameras,” she says with a shrug of her shoulders. Just to name a few, Prostors’ collection of roughly eight cameras includes Leo, Maxwell, Lily, and Herman.

Her Canon Rebel T1i, Maxwell, is her current “weapon of choice” when it comes time for a photo shoot. Prostors’ collection includes a Sony cybershot, Nikon P90, two Argus 35mm circa 1938, two vintage Minoltas, as well as another vintage camera. Some were gifts, others she bought on her own time. “I found one at a flea market!” she recalls. Allie Hill, who has been photographed by Prostor many times, thinks originality is what makes Prostor’s photography so beautiful. “You could easily pick out her images among dozens of others. Her work radiates originality,” states Hill. “Virginia is one of the most talented people I know.” Not only does Prostor use her favorite Canon digital camera to take pictures, but also has a wide range of

film and digital cameras from all different decades. “I like to look at film photographs better than I

like taking them, they can just be a pain to take when they don’t turn out the way you want,” says Prostor. “I edit all of my digital photos with Adobe Photoshop 7, which is kind of old, but I love using it since it was pretty easy to get the hang of. I like to give my pictures a vintage feel, since vintage photography is one of my favorite styles.” As for her favorite type of photography and camera to use, in regards to digital or film, “I definitely prefer digital,” she explains. “You can instantly see the outcome of what you photograph. Film is a completely different art form in the way that it’s just like a guessing game. Until the pictures are developed, you never know what you’re going to get.”

EAT THIS NOT THAT

Ever take a trip to the supermarket and pick up some snacks to eat? Now, have you ever actually looked at the ingredients used to make those foods? If not, then this is something to look at. Take a gander at a few products consumed at school.

NATURE VALLEY OATS N’ HONEY BARS

Contains Malt: a grain (typically barley) that is sprouted, kiln-dried and ground into a slightly sweet-flavored powder. It is a byproduct of corn and gluten. For anyone who may be allergic to either, be careful.

KELLOGG’S FROSTED STRAWBERRY POP-TARTS

Contains six different sugars: Corn Syrup, High Fructose Corn Syrup, Dextrose, Sucrose, Glucose, and Xanathan Gum. Xanathan Gum has its ups and downs, it is used as a substitute by those who cannot have gluten, but if you happen to be allergic to corn, you should not eat it because it may give you intestinal gripes, or diarrhea.

ARIZONA ICED TEA’S ARNOLD PALMER

Contains sugars: Sucralose, High Fructose Corn Syrup, and Acesulfame Potassium (a sweetner that is 200x sweeter than any cane sugar.) Besides the black bend brewed tea, and the lemon juice from concentrate that has lost its usefulness, we are shoveling sugar down our throats, one gulp at a time.

all for one all

On the map, our school was just one place with one name: Chantilly. Our name could not exist based solely on one person. It was a name that we all upheld and honored through our actions, imbued with a spirit that we created as a group and a pride that we displayed no matter how big or small the achievement. Welcome to our world. Jam-packed within this building were 2615 students who created an unstoppable force, fused into one entity by our shared experiences and frustrations. It was more than one car that cut us off in the morning; it was the line of cars all the way down Stringfellow waiting to veer into the parking lot when we were already late to school. United along the sidelines, we celebrated our teams winning, and together we groaned as we heard that we had the choice “to make it a great day or not,� but that choice was ours. Hundreds of leadership posters, club banners and other notices plastered our walls leaving a paper trail that cluttered our hallways yet provided a written voice over the noise between classes. It was all about the crowd, the group, the mob, the 658 seniors freezing on the bleachers for their panoramic, as well as the masses of students and teachers clogging a hallway between classes. It was all Chantilly.

PIECES

It started out as a normal February day. Hallways resounded with the footsteps of students, but then suddenly rumbled with cries; cries of students in disbelief that a school landmark was unexpectedly taken away from them. The shed symbolized pride, spirit and unity for over 35 years. “The school was not notified about the shed being torn down, so I was just as surprised as everyone else. As I was pulling into the school parking lot in the morning, I saw construction workers and was extremely confused about why they were here. Later that day, I found out that the shed had been demolished due to the road widening project,” said Principal James Kacur. Students did not understand how the construction company could just bulldoze the shed without prior notification to the school and community. “I was outraged that they would take our shed away from us without informing us beforehand. If we would have known, we could have bought the shed from AT&T and moved it on to school property. This way, we would not have lost such an important landmark,” said Krish Perumbala. Even though the shed was lost, students gave their suggestions on how to keep the memories alive. “I think we should make a huge mural or collage to cover one of the walls inside the school. This would keep the memories fresh even though the actual shed is gone,” said Abby Butler. The shed formed bonds not only between students, but also among family members. “My father used to work for AT&T and the shed was one of the locations that he was responsible for. When the school was built, there was a mutual agreement between the school and the company that gave us permission to paint the shed. My father would call me every week to ask what was on the shed. It helped to establish a special connection

between us, knowing that it meant a lot to the both of us,” said Assistant Principal Timothy O’Reilly. Those who were fortunate enough to have painted the shed will forever treasure those memories, but the unlucky ones who never got the chance missed out on a part of tradition. “I feel like I missed out on an important part of high school because I never got to paint the shed. Being a freshman, it is something you look forward to in your high school career. I run track, so I would have been able to paint it for that if it had not been torn down,” said Max Kochev. Even though not everyone got to paint the shed, it still was considered an important part of the student experience. “The shed was the base of our school spirit and truly bonded us together as one. Whether it was painted to celebrate a birthday, inform the public about school events or to mourn a death, the shed was always there for us to express ourselves. I am 100% dedicated to constructing a new shed as a replacement for our loss,” said Kacur. The shed meant so much to both the school and the community that alumni Greg Hudson held a memorial service in order to honor it. “Over 50 people came to the memorial, including reporters from the Washington Post. The JV band made an appearance and played ‘Chantilly Lace’ in respect for the shed. I was pleased with the turnout, considering it was such a cold and rainy night, ” said Hudson. Losing the shed was like losing a close friend. “Whenever I think of the shed, I think of the song ‘Lean on Me’ by Club Nouveau because the Chantilly High Students and the community have always leaned on the shed for support during both the good times and bad. It truly will be missed, but certainly never forgotten,” said Hudson. BY KATELYN KUKLA, BECCA YOST, AND NATALIE ROBERTSON

RISING WATERS

COMING SOON

By Leah Cramer

In response to the continued flooding in Findlay, the city and county officials are working with the Army Corps of Engineers (ACE) and an engineering firm from Cleveland to create a plan to reduce flood effects. They hope to present the plan at the ACE headquarters in Washington, D.C. by the end of 2011. From there, the next step will be getting the funding needed from Congress. “There would be earthen levees (grass-covered dirt mounds), concrete flood walls by North Main Street and the river and a diversion channel for Eagle Creek,� Tony Iriti, former president of the dissolved Northwest Ohio Flood Mitigation Partnership, said. According to Mayor Pete Sehnert, the diversion of Eagle Creek could reduce flooding by three feet, but there are possible negative effects for Putnam County, which is also involved in the project. “Ottawa is west of us and we want to get the water out of our city, but we don’t want to make it go any faster down the river to them,� Sehnert said. “There would have to be a retention area somewhere. “We can’t just think of ourselves; we have to consider the people downstream from us.� However, once the plan is worked out, it could provide additional benefits beyond just controlling flooding. “We’re going to coordinate with the park district and create more recreational opportunities for the citizens by building bike paths and jogging trails on the levees,� Iriti said. Sehnert hopes that the levees, along with the other measures, will be enough to minimize flood damage. “We can’t completely eliminate the problem of flooding, but we can prepare for what we think will be the worst,� Sehnert said. “The main thing is just that we do something.�

Godspell set for April debut

By Leah Cramer

Preparations for the spring musical have swung into high gear as the cast and crew get ready for the April 1 opening of Godspell. Godspell follows the gospel of Matthew with a 70s style twist. “The show is all about the concept of building a community of compassion through the retelling of the parables with the idea of the love of Jesus,� senior Isaac Steinhour (Jesus) said. “It has a very free feel to it. “There are a lot of parts in the script where we get to interpret it in our own way and come up with whatever we think will get the point across the best and it’s very fun and happy.� The free, expressive style of the musical is also seen in the variety of songs. “The show has everything from folk to rock to very upbeat, happy music to some sadder sounding songs as well,� vocal director Craig VanRenterghem said. “Musically, it will be a challenge to portray the emotion of what they’re singing about to the audience.� Cast members will be working to show that emotion with a sense of togetherness. “Everyone is part of this big community that comes together to worship Jesus,� junior Jenna McGlade (disciple Courtney) said. “The whole point of the show is to demonstrate that Jesus brought all of these people together. “That’s really what’s happening both within the show and outside of it too, with the cast all

coming together, which is really cool.� Part of working together will be making decisions as a cast. “With this show, more than any other show I’ve done, I’ve been trying to give the cast a lot more freedom with decision making,� director Debbie Benson said. “They’ve been making choices about things like parts of the set and what we do at rehearsals. “It’s interesting because the decisions they make aren’t necessarily the ones that I would make, such as choosing whether or not to change certain language, so I’m handing over some control and letting them have a say in as many things as possible.� Cast members will be using this freedom of expression as they attempt to bring the audience members into the strong emotion of the show. “We really are going to be very involved with the audience and interact with them throughout the show,� McGlade said. “We’ll go out into the audience a lot and be really energetic and excited to be with everyone. “We want to be able to pull the audience into that celebration with us.� Shows are April 1 and 2 at 7:30 p.m. and April 3 at 2 p.m. in the auditorium. Tickets are $10 for evening shows, $5 for the matinee and will be sold in front of the auditorium March 28-April 1 from 3-6 p.m. as well as at the door.

Both the Blue & Gold newspaper and its news website, www.blueandgoldtoday.org, are finalists for the Columbia Scholastic Press Association (CSPA) Gold Crown awards. Both programs will receive either a Gold or Silver Crown at the CSPA’s 87th Annual Convention March 16-18 in New York City. “Gold Crown is one of the biggest awards in the country for scholastic journalism,� adviser Jim McGonnell said. “It’s a big deal to be up for one, let alone two, Crown awards.� Besides the Crown awards, individual staff members of the Blue & Gold and The Vid were nominated for 22 Gold Circle awards.

Findlay High School — Blue & Gold Newspaper Findlay, OH Page 6, 4/8/11, “Big Picture” We knew this would be a risky page, but we think it paid off. There was no shortage of photos for the school musical, so we were able to pick the best quality images — ones that truly helped tell the story — and by flipping the page on its side, we were able to incorporate more images. Overall, the page highlights some of our design and photography skills.

Not many people can get the image in their heads onto a canvas in one try, but if you keep redoing parts of your painting, you get closer and closer every time. These two boys know just how much striving to redo their work can help their cause. Gregory Share, 4G, frequently redoes certain aspects of his artwork. “Duri usually tells me to fix a part of my painting,” says Gregory. Trace Webb of US1 has also reworked his drawings many times, but usually he likes to be more independent. “It’s better to draw mostly on your own, without the critique of others, because then your opinion shows more in your artwork,” says Trace.

Rewriting is the most common form of revision. These two seniors of the Upper and Lower School share their experience with teachers making marks all over their first drafts. Cameron Seneviratne, US4, comments on Mr. Brady’s revisions to his history papers: “I don’t usually enjoy my work being trashed by his multi-colored pens, but it does help.” Molly Pyne-Jaeger, 5C, really likes having her teacher’s help: “I like getting critiqued by Ms. Crain better than proofreading myself because sometimes I don’t see mistakes that others do.”

Another way to rewrite is to alter your image. One of these two Upper School girls cut her hair for practicality and fun, while the other did it for a good cause! Odessa Stork, US1, explained why she changed her shoulder length cut to a fun, edgy mohawk: “It wasn’t just for fun. There were two main reasons why I changed it. First, it was more convenient to wash, and second, it helps to keep the hair out of my eyes in tennis. I’ve liked the style since I was sevenish, but currently I’m the only one amongst my friends with it. My parents were okay with it, but they made me photoBefore shop my face with someone else’s mohawk to see how it looked before I cut it.” Ava Gordon, US2, cut her long locks for the organization Locks of Love as her Batmitzvah project. She donated her hair to make wigs for unprivileged patients who suffer from medical hair loss. These students showed to rewrite, all you have to do is to redo your do!

keyboarding: filling in the blanks

F

or many students, learning to touch type is one of the greatest challenges they face in the world of computer science. The easiest way to do it? A blank keyboard. The Metadot DasKeyboard is precisely this. The keyboard does not have a single marking on a key, helping students learn to remember which keys are which without having to resort to staring down at their hands, which drastically decreases their typing speed. All students type at least 40 words per minute by the end of the course, with some typing over 90. Students take a computer applications class every year of Middle School. Beginning in Upper School, they also have the opportunity to take electives in programming and similar fields. In addition to the blank keyboards, students uses the software Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing. This software teaches students through gradual skill-steps. Middle schoolers also learn the ins-and-outs of popular programs such as Microsoft’s PowerPoint and Excel and Adobe’s Flash. In seventh and eighth grade, students synthesize their knowledge of applications to create projects, such as the eighth grade’s presentation in Apple’s Keynote.

Learning the intricacies of complex computer programs in Middle School

Staring at his keyboard during computer science class, sixth grader Daniel Chavez (above) stares at his screen, contemplating his next paragraph. In the foreground is one of the blank keyboards used to teach students touchtyping. Sixth graders Teddy Koudelka (left) and Grant Brooks (top left) boot up their computers and log in to follow along with the teachers as they learn about programs.

Ice cold fury

Looking to win a faceoff, senior Gus Blessing (left) is one of eight upperclassmen on the roster. The team’s season stretches from August to April, and many of the team’s members play other concurrent sports in addition to hockey, which is not sponsored by the school.

HOCKEY ISN’T JUST ANY OTHER NORMAL SCHOOLSPONSORED SPORT

Q&A With hockey veteran Jordan Dyslin

What is it like playing a sport that isn’t sponsored by the school? There are definitely pros and cons. We don’t have to follow all of the guidelines set by the school for their sports, but, at the same time, our games aren’t well-attended and we are often forgotten by the other teams or students at St. Mark’s. Our team is more casual and relaxed, but we get much less glory than many other teams.

Hockey is a sport that demands superb conditioning. Team members share a break in the action of a game to rest up and renew their energies.

What was the defining moment of your season? The mid-season tournament was certainly our most impressive moment of the season. We went undefeated the entire tournament until the championship game against Marcus, a team which we had already beaten in the tournament. Although we outplayed Marcus in the championship game in my opinion, bounces didn’t go our

way and we ended up losing. But I think everybody was impressed with our play that tournament, especially given that we were short-benched every game. We may have gotten second place, but against the competition in the tournament that was still an impressive feat in itself. How do you find time to practice, considering many of the members of the team play other sports? We only have one practice a week, which is Thursday at 7:30 p.m. So although many players come to practice exhausted, we are still usually able to have at least one effective practice per week. Did anything unexpected happen? Garrett Watumull injured a kid. Completely unexpected from such a peace-loving guy. Other than that, no.

Upperclassmen hockey players show off their personality. Top row: Tanner Montgomery, Garrett Watamull, Greg Kinman. Middle row: Gus Blessing, Jordan Dyslin, Jackson Stager. Bottom row: Cole Wright, Connor Thielmann
