Casey Anthony convicted of lying to law enforcement The trial of Casey Anthony captivated the minds of the public, and the events of the courtroom were deemed as “Breaking News” by 24-hour news channels. Anthony was alleged to have murdered her daughter Caylee, yet in court was found only guilty of lying to law enforcement, which led to her release later that July. Jurors in the trial said there wasn’t enough evidence presented to prove beyond a reasonable doubt of murder. The American public, however, believed Anthony should have been convicted of murder, leading to death threats directed towards both Anthony and the jurors themselves.

The glass is 29 percent full for Gov. Scott

According to a poll released on May 25 by Quinnipiac University, Governor Scott’s approval rating dropped to 29%, while disapproval ratings rose to 57%. Critics say that his unpopularity can be partially attributed to his perceived lack of charisma, consistently high unemployment that surpasses the national average, as well as his steep cuts in education and state jobs in an attempt to balance the budget. His opposition to federally funded high-speed rail and legislation requiring state workers to pay into their pensions, even though every state other than Florida is already operating under this measure, also contributed to discontent towards his administration.

U.S. women’s soccer team makes World Cup finals

A renewed interest in women’s soccer grew in the United States during the World Cup run of the national women’s team. The last second tying goal in overtime and win in the penalty shootout against Brazil enthralled irregular fans and drew in widespread enthusiasm for the national team. According to the Miami Herald, the Women’s World Cup against Japan drew in the second most viewers in Women’s World Cup history- albeit nowhere near the numbers for Men’s World Cups.

Space Shuttle Program ends due to budget cuts to NASA On July 8, Atlantis became the last space shuttle to ever lift off of Cape Canaveral and escape the Earth’s atmosphere. Budget cuts have forced NASA to abandon maned space travel and become reliant upon foreign nations such as Russia for $63 million and private companies to bring American astronauts into space. NASA will continue exploring space through satellites and telescopes, but does not see any non-private American maned spacecrafts being built in the near future. The days of Neil Armstrong are over, captivating the American public in ways never before seen. The new horizon is one of exploration through machines, not humans. (Photo by NASA)/Creative Commons

Arab Spring becomes the Arab Summer It started with a man setting himself on fire, and has now spun into nationwide protests and even civil wars throughout the Arab world. According to Time Magazine, Mohamed Bouazizi, a vegetable vendor in the country of Tunisia, was slapped by a policewoman after protesting the confiscation of his vegetable cart. After failing to have his complaints heard by municipal officers, Bouazizi dumped fuel onto his body and set himself on fire, later dying in the hospital. This act of defiance made Bouazizi a martyr, and demonstrations in Tunisia soon began, ending with the ousting of oppressive Tunisian President Ben Ali. Egypt soon began demonstrations, that after violence committed by President Mubarak’s militia against the people of Egypt, ended with the resignation of the president and temporary rule by the military until elections will be held. Civil uprisings were carried about by citizens of Bahrain, Syria and Yemen. Libyan citizens, wishing to follow Egypt’s protests by ousting their own dictator, Muammar Gaddafi.

Obama unveils plan to pull out of Afghanistan by 2014

News International gets the inside scoop ... inside voice-mails

The draw-out year had already been set, but President Obama used the killing of Osama Bin Laden as a chance to present his comprehensive plan on how to achieve that goal. After Bin Laden’s death, Americans began to hope for an end to the “War on Terror,” for the most wanted terrorist and organizer of the 9/11 attacks had been killed. According to Obama’s address on June 22, he plans to withdraw 10,000 of the 100,000 troops by the end of the year and 20,000 troops by the end of next summer. After that, the president hopes for a steady withdrawal until 2014, when the US would hand control over to the Afghan government.

News of the World, a British subsidiary of FOX News owner Rupert Murdoch’s media empire, has been found to have hacked into the voice-mails of celebrities, politicians and victims of terrorism. News of the World’s hacking of the phone of 13 year old Milly Dowler caused the most public outrage. Dowler had gone missing and her parents were looking for any sign that she was still alive. News of the World had hacked into her voicemail in order to gain an inside scoop for a story, but discovered that her voicemail was full. They proceeded to delete messages in order to clear up space for new messages in order to gain more information. The parents saw that messages had been deleted, and started to become hopeful that Dowler was still alive and had accessed her voicemail. She was later found dead. News of the World CEO Rebekah Brooks resigned and was later arrested. Police officials have resigned as well, including the chief of Scotland Yard, London’s police force. Rupert Murdoch has apologized but reasserts that he had no knowledge of the hacking.

Congressman Weiner discovers that social networking is public

On May 27, Congressman and New York City mayoral hopeful Anthony Weiner sent a lewd photograph of himself to a 21-year-old woman via his Twitter account. Weiner soon learned that the photograph was successfully sent to the woman-- as well as every other follower of his on his Twitter account. He quickly removed the photograph and claimed that his Twitter account was hacked. Due to his name and his gaffe, Weiner soon became the fodder for all comedians, liberals and conservatives alike.

Sudan is no longer one nation After decades of Civil War, South Sudan has peacefully seceded from Sudan through a democratic vote of 98.83 percent in favor of secession. The Muslim-dominated North and the indigenous as well as Christian-dominated South continually clashed through civil war. Southern Sudan was finally allowed by Sudan to vote for their independence, and is now a member of the United Nations.

Debt ceiling fight creates mistrust towards Congress

After a month straight of deal making and deal breaking, Congress finally reached a compromise in order to raise the debt ceiling. The debt ceiling is the cap on how much in debt the government is allowed to accumulate, and was expected to reach its cap of $14.3 trillion on Aug. 2. If the debt ceiling had not been raised, the government would immediately be restricted to only spend as much money as it took in. If that were to take place, harsh cuts by the Treasury would have to kick in, possibly by withholding checks to Social Security, Medicare and the military. The United States would also risk defaulting on its debt which would guarantee a hike of interest rates on government debt. Since the government would be paying higher interest, banks that borrow money from the Treasury would pay higher interest, and in turn the common people would be paying higher mortgages, car loans and higher credit card rates. According to most polls, moderate Democrats and Republicans favored a balanced solution that closed tax loopholes for corporations as well as cut spending, including both defense and entitlements, such as Medicare and Social Security in order to reach an agreement. One balanced solution that was supported by both President Obama and Republican Speaker John Boehner was refused by extremes from both the Republican and Democratic party. Finally, President Obama sat in on talks with Republican and Democratic leaders in the Senate and created a plan that equally made both sides unhappy. The deal, according to the Congressional Budget Office, will immediately cut $917 billion while raising the debt ceiling for 2 years. Congress will then create a “Super-Committee” that will have the job of creating an additional $1.5 trillion in cuts and possibly tax increases. Since Ronald Reagan, a dozen committees have been created with the same purpose: twelve of them failed. If the committee fails to cut $1.5 trillion, there will be an automatic $1.2 trillion of cuts, half of which is to defense, which would upset Republicans, and a large part is domestic cuts, which would upset Democrats. The deal was approved by both chambers of Congress, and President Obama signed it into law on Aug. 2. President Obama’s approval ratings hit a low at 42 percent, and Congressional Approval ratings have hit the lowest number since the history of polling at 9 percent.

Freshmen share first impressions of high school By Holly Schroder Staff Writer

The transition from middle school to high school can often be intimidating and stressful for many incoming freshmen. However, the Class of 2015 has an optimistic outlook on how the school year is to progress. From creating life-long friendships to discovering new and exciting activities. It’s clear to anyone who has asked new freshmen Valeria Rigobon, that she is excited for the oncoming year. She said she is mostly looking forward to the fresh start she will be receiving and believes that throughout the course of freshmen year, her classmates will mature and she’ll be “associating with many people from all different schools, cultures and religions” on a higher level then ever before. Along with Rigobon, rising freshmen Logan Lentini said that his first year at Hillsborough will be “more exciting and challenging than middle school.” He already can tell that the work load is going to be a lot greater but is still extremely enthused for the year and all the new extracurricular activities that come with it. One thing he looks forward to most is joining the crew team which will give him physical stamina and offer the opportunity to socialize with upper classmen. Freshmen Maven Piniella said that high school is “frightening but super exciting at the same time.” Piniella said the first day was one of the most overwhelming days of her life so far

because she didn’t know as many people as she did in middle school and it took awhile to get to know her new classmates and teachers. In addition, Piniella said “getting used to a new larger campus was hard.” New freshmen football player James Pensyl say that high school is everything that he thought it would be. He says “being on the football team is the best thing about high school, I look forward to every Friday night.” Like Piniella, James said that

“the first day was scary and overwhelming but now I love it. ” Tani Pittard favorite part about the new school year is drama class. She says that she “loves to spent her time working on her part in the auditorium. It is her favorite class of the day.” She said that she had known that she wanted to take that class since middle school. She is the daughter of Jeff Pittard, drama teacher.

In July, a new proposal was brought up concerning dress code, it was nicknamed the baggy pants bill. The bill requires school boards to enforce the issue of clothing showing body parts in a vulgar manner. Students in violation the first time receive a verbal warning. Second offense students will be suspended from extracurricular activities up to five days. The last offense is a maximum of three days out of school suspension. The student handbook states “Clothing that exposes the entire shoulder, tube tops, spaghetti straps, or similar type clothing may only be worn with a blouse or shirt. Clothing exposing the torso or the midriff, either front or back, or sides shall not be worn. Underwear shall not be visible.”

“Clothing traditionally designed as undergarments or sleepwear shall not be worn as outer garments. All pants and shorts shall be secured at the waist. Boys’ shirts shall have sleeves. Mini skirts, mini dresses and short shorts shall not be permitted. Hemlines shall be no shorter than fingertip length. ” “Failure to comply with these regulations include phone calls home, change of attire and removed from extracirrucular activities up to 30 day and suspension.” “A dozen students have called home for extra clothes in the third day of school,” said teacher’s assistant Troy Pumphrey. Junior Yarillynn Velez said “I think they should be more concerned with the students education rather than apparel.” Sen. Gary Siplin, an Orlando Democrat, first introduced

the baggy pants bill in 2005. Not only did he want this to be a school policy but also wants the law involved. Siplin wanted this offense to be a second degree misdemeanor and a $50 fine and maximum of ten days in jail. Cecilia Rosendo sophomore, who was sent home to change clothes, disagrees with the bill. “I feel more comfortable wearing shorts in this weather,” she said. The Florida NAACP didn’t agree with the bill because it targeted minority students and was discrimination. Assistant Principal Harley Shaw adds his own point of view as well, “The penalty is not harsh, there’s a time and place for certain attire.”


5 News School lunches will become healthier starting next year September 2011

By Nadiya Fakhar Staff Writer

Students are going to see healthy changes in their school lunches starting next year thanks to the Department of Agriculture and Florida farmers. State Agriculture officials have recently been granted the responsibility of providing meals to 2.6 million Floridia students by the department. This motion, signed into legislation by Gov. Rick Scott in June 2011, generated a measure currently dubbed as the Healthy Schools for Healthy Lives Act. Agriculture Commissioner Adam Putnam has made it a top priority to educate a generation of children and parents of the healthy benefits of a balanced diet by introducing the public school systems to Florida’s bountiful agricultural products. The primary focus of this intention is to “direct more fresh fruits and vegetables to Florida students,” said Putnam in a statement. “We’re going to help Florida’s children build healthier eating habits. And we’re going to take on the challenges of the childhood obesity epidemic.” In 2008, 17 percent of American children between the ages of 6 and 19 were obese. This happens to be triple the rate in 1976, according to a 2010 study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In short, the Department of Education is transferring and estimated $810 million in federal funds to the Department of Agriculture for the administration of school food and nutrition programs. Although we won’t be seeing any changes until next year, Judy Harrison, HHS cafeteria manager and nutritionist said, “I find it to be the start of a good idea, but I’m not really sure if the Healthy Schools for Healthy Lives will be such a great thing.” She said she’ll have trouble finding an advantage to if kids are going to ultimately reject the healthy options. She said that “teenagers are habitual, and that they are going to eat what they want, or not eat at all.” Students not eating anything is worse. Either that, or they’ll resort to bringing junk from home,” said Harrison. Lunches are currently nutrient based, but this motion will revert us to component based meals. Harrison finds that our lunches now are healthy enough as they are, and that if the school board wants it’s students to be healthier, that they should start at an elementary level. “If they can start kids on a healthy lifestyle at a young age, by the time they are your age, they’ll be making healthier decisions on their own. They can’t expect you guys to just become healthier if it’s not a part of your lifestyle,” she said. The target of the motion themselves, the students, proposed their own views on this change. Sophomore Demar Warburta finds the change pointless. “I feel as though there is a great emphasis on lunch and nutrition and all, but all those problems start at home. The school’s emphasis should be education and our futures; they worry about the little small things.”

Roobensly Jean Baptiste may be able to get his bag of chips from the cafeteria today but this may not be the case next year when the Department of Agriculture takes charge, since school lunches are becoming healthier and these items are considered unhealthy.

Students also had some very opinionated thoughts on obesity. Junior Corin Hasegawa says she thinks the problem is “huge. pun intended.” However, most students didn’t think this plan would target obesity or inevitably affect it. Freshman Nadia Morgan said, “This plan won’t even affect obesity because there are other components such as exercise that lead to a healthier life.” Senior Gerard Denis, along with many other students will not be affected by this meal adjustment. He says “I bring my own lunch.” This doesn’t mean that Harrison doesn’t find our health a priority. She is currently fabricating a plan that will be the start of a new advancement in our school cafeteria. Students will be able to see a salad bar and smoothie hut around mid-September. Harrison would like to have a contest for naming them.

By this time next year lunchroom worker Wisteria Demontegnac may not be serving the same lunches. (Photo by Nadiya Fakhar)

Our View

We must learn from 9/11 Tragedy is not something children can easily comprehend. The concept of death is difficult to grasp when you are young, and a terrorist attack with so much loss of life is only that much more difficult to understand. Our generation was between the ages of 4 and 8 a decade ago on September 11, 2001, so young that for us there aren’t many memories of a time before the tragedy and the terror that have defined our first years in the 21st century. Our parents, the older generations, had to deal with the attacks on our country; we will live in the world the attacks created. What did we make of ourselves after an attack on not only our loved ones but our way of life? Our country responded with solidarity and compassion for one another, with a spirit dampened yet fearless, ready to rebuild and continue on to greater heights. Interfaith programs increased in number, and the inspiration of the stories of the selfless heroes who were willing to give everything to save another -- placing the greater humanity above ones’ self -- spurred us towards giving more to charities and aid organizations. Yet we also misstepped. Compassion and consideration for our neighbor were accompanied by fear and hatred, not only for

our enemy but for anybody different enough from us. We sought revenge, seeking to bring to justice those responsible for the attacks on our soil. In doing so, we were led into error, becoming involved in a war which, rather than making us safer, fostered in many a hatred of our nation which only served to

would see us be destroyed. Our parents didn’t know how to react to hatred and violence on the scale experienced 10 years ago, and as a nation we performed admirably in the face of adversity. Nevertheless, we should remember that mistakes were made in dealing with the threat to our national security. When it is our turn to take charge, we should remember that day and its decade, and remain vigilant, pursuing those who would do us harm, while not allowing anger and fear to guide our thoughts and actions. We should be able to grieve for the lives of our innocents without creating grief for others who have done us no wrong. After all, every civilian who becomes a casualty of the war on terror is a victim of the same terrorism that assaulted the United States of America. We will continue to mourn and remember -- for our countrymen, our loved ones, our fellow human beings -- while doing our best to make it so that we never have to mourn a senseless act of terror again. Our generation will never forget, but we will also not be defined by the attacks of September 11, 2001. Instead, we will be defined by how we honor the memories of all the victims with a more peaceful world.

Our generation will not be defined by the attacks on September 11, 2001. create more enemies willing to instill more terror in us. Another effect of the attacks was that the perceived invulnerability of the United States, our collective sense of safety and security, was shattered. The random acts of violence of 9/11 forced us to experience what billions across the world deal with daily -- the sense that our lives can be taken by chance, that we survive or perish at the flip of a coin. Yet we did not react with despair. Instead, we turned to our communities, our faith and our hope for a better future; we would not cower in fear and hand victory to those who

10 Years Ago

RELIVING THE RUIN By Brittany Valencic Life Editor

“The world is blowing up! The world is blowing up!” Charles Harrelson recognized his friend’s bellowing voice echo down the hollow halls of Hillsborough. Those screamed words were how the former senior first discovered the news of the terrorist attacks that happened ten years ago. September 11, 2001; It was the morning when airplanes plunged from the sky and dove into the World Trade Center and pierced a hole in the Pentagon. It was the morning where a plane full of ordinary people became heroes and gave up their lives in order for our country. It was also the day New York’s tallest buildings become withering tons of steel and concrete. The tragic event shattered the security of the country and left a toll that will never be able to escape the minds of people across the United States and the world. Hillsborough, along with the rest of the country, was provoked with fear, sorrow, confusion and anger. The attacks on New York City’s twin towers left the country stunned and in a state of panic. But, 9/11 didn’t end on that day. This year is the tragedy’s 10-year anniversary, and here’s a look back at what that day was like here at HHS. It was 8:45 a.m. Students were in second period or in homeroom when their eyes consumed the horrors presented on a television screen, reported to them from a place 1,142 miles away. More than 2,000 students and faculty alike learned of the assault that would define the succeeding decade. “‘Both twin towers of the World Trade Center have been destroyed by suicide terrorists in airplanes,’ was the phrase that echoed over all of world television,” wrote Ross Van Boven, The Red & Black’s Assistant Editor-in-Chief at the time. Announcements rang through the overhead with the attempts to “maintain some semblance of normalcy under such extreme circumstances,” said school psychologist Evelyn Hernandez. The TVs were to be turned off, for the broadcasting that was being replayed of the event was much too harmful for the students to be seeing. “I vividly remember that day,” said media assistant Susan Hunt. When her eyes caught a glimpse of the billowing smoke projecting on the monitors, she “turned up the volume and was shocked, with massive goosebumps and disbelief” as she began to piece together the tragedy that had struck the nation. “There was an air of numbness amongst the staff and students alike,” Hunt said. Hernandez had a much more personal connection to the

events that unfolded that day. “I had two sisters working in the city that day … who I could not reach by phone. It wasn’t until I received word that both my sisters were unharmed, several hours later, that I was able to breathe and focus on maintaining calm.” “A student came into my class and told me to turn on the TV,” explained math teacher Gary Tubb. His class saw the destruction of the second tower. “The gravity of the catastrophe of the building crumbing was not appreciated by the students,” he continued. As the students gazed at the TV, they remained silent. “Only half the class understood that this was real. That this wasn’t make believe.

“There was an air of numbness amongst the staff and students alike.” Not one of us actually understood what had really transpired; that it was a terorist attack,” Tubb said. But, Tubb, unlike many of the other teachers, continued class. He picked up where they were and just kept moving through the day. English teacher Garland Mitchell, remembers a similar story. “A student came into my classroom and told me to turn on the TV. I immediately stopped what I was doing and began to watch the coverage.” Mitchell and his class saw the aftermath of the attacks. “Only half the kids were interested in what was happening. The other half saw it as an excuse to goof off, which was sad,” he says. Mitchell left the broadcast on for the rest of the day and allowed all his classes to watch the coverage of the attack. Michael Alverez, a junior attending Hillsborough during the attacks, recalls no students talking during their classes, for all the attention was put toward the broadcasts airing from every channel. “Teachers were as glued to the TV as [the students] were. In fact I remember just one teacher saying anything and that was just a recap of what had happened that day,” said Alverez. While in homeroom, Alverez witnessed, “the second plane hit live on TV.” That’s when “it became obvious to everyone that this was a terrorist attack.” Alvarez didn’t even go to lunch that day and instead remained silently transfixed as he watched

September 2011

Teachers and students remember the emotions evoked by the tragic on events on the day that will never be forgotten smoke make the screen blurry from the other side, unable to predict what would happen next. “I just stayed in a class room with other students and we barely said anything.” “Chaos seemed to ensue on the campus,” with parents coming to the school and signing out their children “in mass numbers,” Hernandez said. “We tried to remain out in the halls and maintain some sense of calm and assurance.” “The office would call 100 kids to report to the office to go home at a time,” Alvarez said. As the shock of the day’s catastrophic events hit the student body and faculty, teachers, students and even parents had a disarray of emotions and reactions. “I was literally shaking because I was flooded with emotion,” Hernandez said. “It was a mix of emotions. We were scared. You’re watching TV and you see the death toll,” Harrelson said. “Everything just seemed surreal,” Alverez said. Students and parents were responding strongly. “Everyone was visibly shaken and upset,” Hernandez said. Confusion also flooded the school. Many of the students were unaware of what was happening. “Some kids just saw it as a free day or a way to get out of class,” Harrelson said. But as the term terrorist attack began to be the answer to the day’s proceedings, recognition overtook the school population and students started to realize just how serious the affliction was. What struck the nation next was perhaps the strongest and most overwhelming emotion of all: fear. Somehow fear and the unknown never occur with out the other right by its side. And the future seemed to be painted black with the unknown, without even a match to reveal what was to unfold. “I remember the fear of wondering what was going to happen next,” Hunt said. 9/11 affected each and every American citizen. The echoes of the horrific day still radiate. But, some were inspired by this tragedy to make a difference. Alvarez joined the Marines at age 17 in June 2002. “I never even though about [enlisting] before 9/11. My grandfather joined after Pearl Harbor. He did his part and I felt like I should do mine.”

A Tragedy Remembered By Antonio Brown Staff Writer

Xavier German, a senior and captain of the varsity baseball team, was taking a tour of the World Trade Center with his second grade class on 9/11. German was born in New York and attended PS 198 in Manhattan. In the midst of the class tour, the attacks happened. “There was smoke everywhere, pieces of the tower were flying and the ground was shaking like an earthquake,” German explained. “We all ran back in the other direction and my teacher was yelling stay together.” German described running to safety as chaotic. “We lost each other and found each other 20 minutes later; I saw people fall from the towers and walked over dead bodies; it was like a scary movie.” “I was terrified. I had no idea what was hap-

9/11 through your eyes Kaeley Starling a junior answered, “ I was at school and my mom signed me out.” “I was confused at the time I didn’t know what was happening... My teacher hid it from our class,” Starling said. Like many of us, Starling was in elementary school when this tragedy struck. “After the attacks my mom became more protective,” she said. “When I was old enough to understand, I was upset. I had friends who lived there.” In spite of the attacks, it still has not changed her feelings on living in America.

Tiana Jones, also a junior said, “I was in elementary school during nap-time. I really did not know what was going on, but, it was scary ... My teacher freaked out and burst into tears in the classroom,” she said. “I feel more fortunate now than I did before; that could have been my family,” she said. Jones, like Starling, is still proud to live in America.

pening. My first thought was the it was a bomb.” “When I met with my parents afterwards they were crying because they thought I was hurt,” he said. German’s parents owned a restaurant that was destroyed during the attacks. “I think it’s so unfair that we live in a world where people are driven to do evil things. It should never get to a point where people blow up buildings full of innocent people,” he explained. Looking back on the events German wishes things when different, “I wish we could have just took our tour and called it a day,” German said. The 9/11 attacks affected many, but German does not let that diminish his positive attitude. “This country has given me a sport, a home, an education and a college. I’m very grateful to live in this country,” German explained.

Students recall and give feedback about where they were during 9/11 By Antonio Brown Staff Writer

Ceasar Ortiz, a senior, responded, “I was in school reading and my principal announced that something terrible had happened ... My teacher didn’t tell us about the attacks,” he explained. “I was shocked,” he said. “Now that I know the extent of the ordeal,” he further explained. “At the time my parents were hysterical and crying.” Ortiz feels that life in America is good. “Things happen and sometimes they are out of your control,” he said.

Junior Mercedes Epps, said, “I was in Portsmouth, Va. in my first grade classroom ... The principal came on the intercom saying that a plane had hit the World Trade Center.” “At the time I didn’t know exactly what happened, I just knew it was bad ... We evacuated the school and my mom came to pick me up,” she said. “I feel that Sept. 11th is one of the most important dates in our nation’s history, and even though Bin Laden is dead, we still should be on the watch for terror,” she said.

A little boy, about 5 years old, was walking through the store with his mother. A Muslim woman in a hijab was making her way past them, and the boy said, “Look, a terrorist!” Every one in the store stopped and stared at her. The boy didn’t say “Muslim” or “Arab”-- he said “terrorist.” 9/11 and its aftermath still finds a way to touch our everyday lives, even those who weren’t alive when it happened. Whether it’s being frisked at the airport security line, dealing with cultural prejudice or waiting for loved ones to return from overseas, it all can be traced back to that fateful day. The way Americans travel is one aspect that continues to evolve today. The Transportation Security Administration, or TSA, was created in November 2001 shortly after the attacks. A slew of changes soon followed, including additional screenings, a limit of carry-ons and the removal of shoes when walking through a security checkpoint. Senior Jean Dumas knows the hassle at the airport all too well. Dumas, whose father works at Tampa International Airport as a luggage porter, says that each time he flies he remembers why the stricter regulations exist. “It definitely takes longer to get through the security line than it did before 9/11, but they are necessary rules. I don’t think the changes have gone too far,” Dumas said. Dumas said that racial discrimination is evident whenever he goes to the airport. “One time on I was on a flight and there was a Muslim man on the plane. Everyone was staring at him, and I felt a little nervous myself. I know it’s a stereotype and not fair to judge like that, but it’s always in the back of your head,” he said. “Even though it’s been 10 years, a lot of people still think that way.”

“Before 9/11, we thought that nobody could touch us. That’s not true, but we are stronger than before,” Dumas said. Indeed, some American attitudes towards Islam are less than favorable. According to a recent study by the Public Religion Research Institute, 46 percent of Americans are uncomfortable with a mosque being built near their home, 41 percent are uncomfortable with Muslim elementary school teachers and 47 percent say that Islam and American values are incompatible. Senior Jacquelyn Hernandez agrees that today Muslims are still victims of racial profiling. “It’s not fair, but people view them differently, whether they mean to or not,” she said. “I just think people are a bit more alert around them. But they are normal people just like everyone else.” The backlash of 9/11 still affects Hernandez, who currently has two sisters overseas, as well as a sister-in-law and a brother-in-law in Afghanistan. “I miss them,” Hernandez said. “They’re just doing what they need to do for our country. They’re so brave, I don’t know how they do it.” Hernandez said that she thinks that war and economy were most affected by the attacks. “We’ve been through a lot, and it made America humbler.” For senior Destany Mackey, the attacks instilled a fear of flying. Mackey has never flown and doesn’t plan on it anytime soon. “I know that anything can happen, and I don’t want to fly. I just always think about 9/11 and it scares me.” The school has its share of people who have a personal connection to New York. School security officer E. Johnsen, who lived on Long Island at the time of the attacks, still has a vivid memory of that day.

“I wasn’t supposed to go to work until later that day, so I saw it on TV. I was instantly worried because I had friends who worked close to the World Trade Center,” he said. Johnsen later went down to the scene and handed out water and food to people on the street. “It was incredibly sad, but you can never crush the New York spirit. It’s impossible to destroy New York, although we were pretty shaken up.” History teacher Mike Mikulec, also a native New Yorker, was teaching in Florida during the attacks. Mikulec was watching the news when he saw the second plane hit. “At first I thought it was an accident, but then I understood somebody was attacking us and we were at war.” “New York is such a big part of who I am, I felt like they were attacking part of me. I was always used to seeing the Twin Towers growing up. I went to Ground Zero two months afterwards and I will never forget the destruction,” Mikulec said. He added that there was a degree of paranoia afterwards. “People were afraid to fly anywhere and whenever there was a loud noise everyone got nervous. But that had mostly faded a decade later.” Racial profiling is another aspect that Mikulec said he thinks has gotten less popular over time. “Every religion has radicals, and you can’t base the majority off the actions of a few. I know that a lot of people have learned about Islam as a result of 9/11, and I have become more accepting of everyone.” Mikulec said that the city changed after 9/11. “There was an eery quietness that I wasn’t used to. But New Yorkers are resilient, and everyone seemed prouder to be a New Yorker. It was a tragedy, but it made our country stronger.”

JROTC memorializes victims with poetry, service By Chrissy Geshel News Editor

JROTC students along with the SGA teamed up to create a 9-11 memorial on the H Patio, commemorating the lives lost during the 9/11 attacks and the 10 year anniversary of 9/11. The memorial began with an introduction by Amauris Ruiz, senior, and with student body president, Cynthia Curbelo, senior. The Big Red Band played the national anthem to mark the beginning of the memorial, followed by the presentation of the colors by JROTC students Johnathan Guevera, Sandy Tran, Miguel Gonzalez and Beverely Ramirez. Ruiz along with Curbelo announced the three words chosen to describe the 9/11 attacks. “Unity, reverence and hope” were the words used to describe how the 9/11 attacks affected and changed American history. A member of either JROTC or SGA read a statement on how they felt the word correlated with 9/11, and a poem after each statement. Sophomore Kelsey Swafford spoke about unity, followed by the poem, “One” by Cheryl Sawyer. Lucas Palm, a JROTC student, spoke how reverence is associated with 9/11. Senior Jessica Palfi had the word “hope.” Followed by the poem, “What is Hope?” Sgt. Major Oscar Cunningham said “she was the one who deserved the term ‘atta boy’. She expressed herself very well, she read like a professional poet.” After each of the words were explained to the student body sitting at the tables around the H Patio, Ruiz began speaking about each of the three planes that were involved with 9/11. Each plane was represented by a white candle. Each of

The memorial was a success to the students involved in the three candles were set upon a stool on the top, right, and the ceremony, but many of the participants felt that students left side of the H. The candle at the top of the H commemorated the victims of watching the memorial didn’t take it seriously. Curbelo said, “It affected people who heard it, not the people Flight 11, Flight 175 and the 2,985 people trapped in the North and South tower of the World Trade Center at 8:46 a.m. This in the back who were making noise.” Cunningham also agreed with Curbelo, “the student body candle was lit by JROTC student, Marcus McDuffie. The second candle lit, was on the right side of the H, needed to be more sensitive toward the ceremony.” The main point of the memorial was to reflect how 10 years and commemorated the victims of Flight 77 and inside the Pentagon at 9:37 a.m. This candle was lit by JROTC student have passed since the 9/11 incident. Students were still in elementary school at this time. Ruiz recalls, “At first I didn’t Rubis Morales. The third candle lit, was on the left side of the H, and know what to think, I was skeptical. My parents explained it commemorated the 44 victims of Flight 93 that crashed in to me and my heart dropped, it made me think of what kind of Shanksville, Pa. instead of the White House. This candle was world we live in.” lit by JROTC student Julio Valdes. At the bottom of the H a red, white, and blue wreath was presented in honor of all the victims, and was set down by JROTC student Phillip Brewster. The lighting of the candles and the wreath was followed by a moment of silence and the 21 gun salute, presented by JROTC students Priscila Perez, Gabriel Rivera, Roche Rober, Donny Tran, Luis Vazquez, Christian Montgomery, and Ricardo Mujica. The Big Red Band followed this up with Stars and Stripes Forever, written by John Phillip Sousa, and a poem entitled “When, Against Blue Morning,” read by Curbelo. Col. Samuel Taylor hoped that the memorial showed “the resilience of the American spirit.” Senior Amaurius Ruiz talk at the podium, while various other speakers wait to offer words.

Ten years of teaching Patriot’s Day By Amanda Glenz Staff Writer

Sept. 11 not only changed the course of history but the history textbooks as well. “I would say the major changes would be the chronological events, the resulting abroad tensions of war and alliances and then there is the impact domestically,” said Dennis Holt, who oversees social studies for the whole school district. In any American history class, teaching 9/11 is not only part of the curriculum, but an important part of the subject itself. “We call it Patriot’s Day,” said American history teacher Don Middleton. One activity Middleton has done was to have his students create a remembrance, message or poem with a symbol representing America. According to Holt, teachers can use 9/11 to tie back to A textbook at Hillsborough High School that contains information other events to add a sense of connection for the students. about 9/11. (Photo by Amanda Glenz)

He also said that “students understand there aren’t any simple black and white solutions to terrorism; they tend to take it seriously.” American government teacher Zaan Gast conveyed the thought that the largest change in the curriculum is that most teachers have “made efforts to ensure that kids understand the difference between radical behavior and religious tradition.” Gast said, “There are a lot of people who teach 9/11 more emotionally, but that’s what religion is.” However, not all teachers agree. “I think the further we get from the date, the more factual it gets. I also think if students were more engaged in the media, it would affect them more,” Middleton said. Holt said “a good teacher starts with the facts of the event then moves to be their own feelings because that is what makes their classes interesting.”

Students remember The cadets at Hillsborough commemorated the 10-year anniversary of the 9/11 attacks by performing the 21 gun salute, marching the flags along the patio, lighting candles in memory of the victims and standing silent to show respect for those so harshly taken in the name of difference. Those able to get out of class watched the powerful and moving ceremony, some being broken down to tears and others feeling chills as the warm remembrance flickered in the wind and the sound of the rifle boomed off the wall.

9/11’s impact on pop culture By Giselle Ponce Staff Writer

Following 9/11, tribute songs and movies transferred America’s poignant emotions into countrywide anthems that everyone could connect with. “It was a big thing, so we should remember it,” said sophomore Cecilia Rosendo. With the help of pop culture, America became more unified after this incredulous disaster. Country music singer-songwriter, Toby Keith, was one of the first artists to write a tribute for 9/11. “Courtesy of the Red, White, and Blue,” the name of his No. 1 hit, was written in hopes of revitalizing faith in the United States. The response to this song was so grandiose that even a U.S. Marine, James L. Jones, commended Keith for his compelling song and claimed that it was Keith’s “duty as an American citizen” to record it. Another country artist, Alan Jackson, honored 9/11 with his song “Where Were You When the World Stopped Turning.” According to junior Hana Castillo, the American alternative rock band, My Chemical Romance, had a “song out called Skylines and Turnstiles” that was a tribute for 9/11 as well.” This scene from “World Trade Center” captures the tone of the 9/11 attacks portrayed throughout pop culture.

Former student shares Ground Zero story Nasheika Johnson, a former student at Hillsborough High School, is currently attending Kentucky State University. Five years ago, The Red & Black shared her first-person account of 9/11. After the second building was hit, people shoved past me, running in the middle of the street, sprinting in between fire and ambulance trucks. The smoke was making it hard to breathe or tsee. I ran across the street and hid behind a parked car and began to cry as I looked at my arms and legs covered in the hazy, sand-colored dust. My teacher Ms. Leoni wasn’t in sight, and neither were any of my classmates who were also on the field trip. Two middle-aged women also crouched behind a car in front of me. A policeman appeared from out of the smoke and told them to “keep it moving.” He then approached me, grabbing me by the arm. I tried frantically to explain to that I was lost and separated from my class, but the sirens from ambulances and police cars drowned my voice out. He turned around and went back into the debris. I went to the subway, hoping to spot my teacher or one of my friends but was greeted at the turnstile by two officers telling everyone to turn back around because the subways were closed and weren’t taking any more passengers. The crowd once again carried me with it back up the subway stairs. The smoke was beginning to clear, and people were now staring up at the building, many with video cameras in hand, recording the horrendous event. One man pointed at the tiny heads and hands poking out of the window; men and women had taken off articles of clothing and were waving them around, desperately trying to get attention for help. Soon tiny dots began to fall from the towers. People were jumping, assuming that they had no hope and nothing could possibly save them. The force of the people hitting the pavement set off car alarms. Women began to cry hysterically, clinging to strangers. Tears began to well up in my eyes once again as I thought of how I was going to find my mother. I turned, following another group of people heading to the Brooklyn Bridge. The bridge was packed shoulder to shoulder. Who did I know in Brooklyn? How would my mother ever find me there? My mother worked at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, so thinking on my feet I intercepted a paramedic who was applying oxygen to a young woman sitting on the street. I pretended to have an asthma attack. He helped me in the back of the truck, already filled with three other people. The hospital was in total chaos. The emergency room was wall to wall with people who needed medical attention. I pushed my way through, stepping over people and squeezing past more in the hallways. When I got to the nurses’ break room, my mother was there to my surprise. After being cleaned up and receiving countless hugs, I sat alone, lost in thought about the day. It had started just like any other; my class was supposed to take a normal field trip to a museum like every year. Questions began to race through my head. Why was this happening? What was a terrorist? What was a suicide bomber? All of these words I didn’t recognize, but were now being used very frequently all over the news. A few days later I returned to school hoping to see my friends but finding classes half empty, missing both teachers and students whose family members were lost in the disaster. My mother soon decided that New York just wasn’t the safest place to be at the moment and we packed up our things and left. 5 years later, I’m still frightened at the thought of traveling back and forth from New York for holidays. Though it doesn’t haunt me as it does others, the memories remain imprinted in my brain.

Opinion

Should Florida implement welfare drug tests? YES Reaching the state of being dependent on welfare is caused by a number of reasons. Some lose their jobs due to a floundering national economy, others are afflicted with a health problem that confines them to no farther than their own home; there is no control over these events. Nico Tavella Commentary Unfortunately, it’s also likely that some people are on welfare due to some kind of addiction. When addicted, people will do anything to fuel their craving for these life-altering substances, including trying to cover up their addiction for the welfare inspector that comes to their home every month. Drug addicts, whether on welfare or not, have little, if any, control over their predicament. It’s for this reason that drug testing is a necessity. When the topic is brought up, the initial thought is one of disgust for the greedy government officials who want nothing more than to imprison every American under the welfare system. But this simply isn’t the case. Sure, drug testing can unmask the people using government money to buy drugs, and therefore save the government millions of dollars, but what many fail to see is that the money saved can then fuel our educational system or further research towards cures for various diseases. In other words, saving money through drug testing will help the nation prosper. Yet, while drug testing people on welfare benefits the rest of the nation, it is also crucial for the betterment of the one’s whose addictions are costing the government so much money. If these users are revealed, they are presented with the opportunity to get their lives back on track through rehabilitation. Of course there will be protest about cutting off these addicts from their drugs, but nothing in our country comes without protest. The main priority is helping addicts out of their welfare-fueled rut and back into the real world. They can once again have the ability to get a job, and own their own house, and support a family. By testing the people on welfare, the opportunity to regain independence can finally be presented to those who have lost their way.

NO Thousands of families will be denied welfare this year, people will be wrongfully searched, and hard-earned tax dollars will be wasted. Gov. Rick Scott has signed a law that requires citizens to pass a drug test before getting any assistance from the state. Elizabeth Gwilt Commentary The law, which went into effect in early July, would prevent welfare recipients from receiving aid for six months if they failed the drug test, and the second positive test would result in a three year ban. I believe that this law is unconstitutional and financially irresponsible. It’s completely unfair to assume that everyone on welfare has a drug habit. I fail to see how it’s any different than searching people without a probable cause or a warrant, as well as invading people’s privacy. On top of that, it’s an attack on families who are already having a hard time in this economy. Taking away welfare dollars isn’t going to help anyone; instead, the impovershed will suffer more. If going against the constitution wasn’t enough, Scott’s plan isn’t going to save any money. Scott is using the taxpayer’s money to buy drug tests to save taxpayer’s money -- it’s not cost-effective, especially when the average drug test costs between $20-$50. Instead of spending money on innumerable drug tests, Scott should focus on programs to help those receiving benefits with job training so they can get their lives back in order. With 233,000 Americans applying for cash assistance, the governor’s plan comes at a hefty price. Only 93,170 people received aid in the month of June, and it’s sad to think that number will most likely continue to drop. Those who apply for welfare are not any less of a person, they don’t deserve unreasonable searches and their loss of dignity. I’m not saying that people on welfare should use that money to buy drugs--of course they shouldn’t -- and I can see what Gov. Scott is trying to prevent. But this is not the way to do it.

Radio losing signal among teenagers By Nick Bennett Life Editor

Radio has declined in teenage culture from its former unchallenged status to a more periphery role, one of many options in a world of instant downloading and streaming. Alternatives such as cables that connect iPods to car stereos mean listeners don’t need to wait through ads to hear the music they like. As a result, many teens are leaving this once thriving market. According to a 2010 study by Edison Research, consumption of the radio among the12-24 set has declined nearly in half since 2000, with the time spent listening daily going from two hours and 43 minutes to one hour and a half. Junior Bryauna Wallace makes one out of many the teen listeners who have stopped listening to the radio. “I prefer to listen to my iPod because I can choose my own songs,â€? she said. Many attribute the beginning of radio’s decline to the creation of MTV in 1981. From the title of the first song ever broadcasted on the channel, “Video Killed the Radio Star,â€? it was clear that a violent change had rocked the music entertainment industry. Teens were the trendsetters of this change, tuning in by the millions. Just as quickly as the music video phenomenon took hold, the music industry underwent a metamorphosis. Music industry attorney Michael Guido explained his view of the effect in an interview with PBS. “I think MTV was the beginning of the end for the recorded music business, in that it solidified a mindset that exalted marketing over substance‌it became only about a threeminute single and a visual image,â€? he said.

Fast forward to 1996. With radio stations across America struggling to stay afloat, powerful broadcast lobbyists in Washington successfully lobbied Congress to deregulate the limitations on station ownership. Whereas formerly a company could control a maximum of roughly 40 stations, with the passage of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 any such limit ceased to exist. Multibillion dollar mergers occurred, and conglomerates like Clear Channel Communications and went from broadcasting on 43 stations in 1996 to serving 4,850 stations today. In Tampa alone, Clear Channel owns 93.3 FLZ, 95.7 the Beat, 98 Rock, Mix 100.7 and US 103.5, as well as several AM stations including 620 WDAE. Similarly, conglomerate Cox Media Group owns Magic 94.9, 97X, 101.5 the Point, 102.5 the Bone and 105.5 the Dove. The implication of all this on the music being played on the radio is that it narrows the possibilities of what can be played. Analysts for radio conglomerates build playlists in which established hits are placed in the heaviest rotation simply because they’re generated the most profit. Jeff Leeds of the Los Angeles Times confirmed this trend in the same PBS interview, saying “There’s a small number of songs that get played over and over and over again ‌ and the number of songs that get that opportunity has definitely shrunk.â€? Then came the digital music revolution, and with it a small device that has changed everything: the iPod. When it was first unveiled, five weeks after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks a decade ago, an iPod could hold only 5 gigabytes of music and had a battery life rated at just 10 hours (according to Mactracker).

time, listeners had a convenient way to store and listen to music, making digital music ownership easier and thus more widespread. Today, the sixth generation of the iPod classic can hold up to 160 GB of music, videos, and other files, and can last up to 40 hours on a single charge. Ten years and 304 million iPods later,

and many own cables that connect them to car stereos. No longer are people made to exclusively turn to the radio for music. Junior Keyondae Evaris agreed, adding that “I don’t listen because of the commercials.� What the future holds for the radio is unclear, but it’s evident that many teenagers won’t be tuning in to find out.

SETTING THE BAR

New volleyball captain tries to keep her team smiling and unified By Nikki Ferrera Staff Writer

When Rachel Mowat, on her mom’s advice, tried out for middle school volleyball, she admits she didn’t care too much for the sport. But fast-forward a few years, and Mowat, now a junior, is the co-captain for varsity at HHS. Her real passion for the sport developed after two years. “Ninth grade was when it got real,” Mowat said. The same year, she also began playing for the Bob Sierra YMCA’s volleyball team, Club Storm. She said she became a setter during freshman year tryouts when she was “throwing [herself] on the floor, trying to get a ball.” Mowat’s coach recognized her “hustle,” and said she should be a setter. When Mowat revealed that she was left-handed, which would allow her to more easily tip a volleyball over the net, the deal was sealed. In volleyball, a setter may be off the court for half of the game, so regardless of being on the bench, Mowat does her best to encourage her teammates. “Even when I’m off the court, I’m still really loud. But if you’re a setter, you’re kind of like the quarterback of volleyball, so

when I’m off the court, I trust my teammates and my other setter to lead each other.” While captains may feel nervous over a new-found leadership position, Mowat remains highly optimistic. She enjoys being a leader, and said that it comes “naturally.” However, she does recognize some slight changes in her attitude since becoming captain. “I [feel] more of a responsibility to go to practice and not be tired or have a bad attitude. I just feel like I owe my team more,” Mowat said. Mowat believes that her team can definitely improve on their record from last year. “I at least want to even out [our wins and losses] this year. This year we actually have the potential to do it.” So far, the team has a 2-3 record. Sophomore Casey Gonsalves, said Mowat keeps the team “energized, organized, and always giving their best.” Coach Yolanda Driskell agreed, saying that Mowat has “an amazing dynamic on the court” and “her enthusiasm helps her become a great leader.” Mowat’s biggest concern is trying to make her team happy and unified. She also wants to understand her teammate’s strengths and weaknesses so that she and Alexa Dasilva, her co-captain, can find the best ways to “fill

in the gaps.” Mowat loves that volleyball requires the players to make quick, clever decisions to gain control of the court. “Not every time you’re going to pound the ball into the ground,” she said, “Sometimes you’re going to tip it in a smart place where not a lot of defenders are.” Mowat said there are few differences be-

tween playing for the HHS volleyball team and the Club Storm team. She said that while both teams are very competitive, the club team has a bit of a more serious attitude. Mowat is unsure of college volleyball, but regardless of what she might be doign in the future, Mowat still has two years of captaining the HHS team before she leaves.

New coach has big plans for crew team By Kimberly Rampersad Staff Writer

Crew members are ready for a new coach this year, and she already has big plans for them. “The ultimate goal is to highlight athletes that want to compete on a college level, as well as help students obtain healthy exercise habits that will last their lifetime,” said Collins, who hopes to expand the team to include more athletes, as “HHS has a large number of talented students that have yet to be discovered.” Collins also wants to maximize talent exposure for all athletes. The crew team will be competing in one of the largest

fall races in their region this year, taking place in Tennessee in November. “I am very inspired about our team’s upcoming season,” Collins said about future regattas. Collins got her start with crew in 1999, when her father encouraged her to start rowing even though she never was exposed to rowing until after college. She has years of experience in crew in addition to achieving Masters National Champion and Masters World Champion. She trains everyday and the HHS team trains using the same workouts that she uses.“The intensity of the workouts will help us to be in top shape for large competitions,” said Garrett Andrews, a freshman and novice rower. “I have been coaching since 2004 and my students include national level athletes as well as state and regional champions that are now attending Duke, Princeton, Notre Dame, University of Wisconsin and Clemson,” Collins said. “Bill Dunlap, head coach at the University of Tampa, is solely responsible for getting me into the world of coaching. I knew

from the beginning that this career path was where I belonged. I look forward to everyday on the water,” Collins said. Collins encourages hard work and commitment, and overall, the belief in yourself. She said that perseverance and focus are key factors to future successes. Crew members are thrilled to have her as their new coach. Senior and varsity rower Quinn Pruitt said, “The last two weeks were harder than all of last year. I think it’s possible that some of our boats could make it to nationals.” At regattas, Collins is completely focused and very intense. “The athletes are fully prepared for the race ahead, and their best effort is what I emphasize and encourage,” she said. Senior Ricky Garcia, varsity team member, said that last year the team’s biggest problem was a lack of communication and motivation between rowers and the coaches. Junior Becca Javier, varsity member, said, “Call is better with communication and time management. We’re building our army for hopefully the best year in a while.”

Five things running cross country has taught me about life By Katie Lutton Sports Editor

I have been involved in long distance running for almost seven years, including three years of track and cross country at Hillsborough. As I began training for my senior season, I reflected back on my experiences as a runner and here’s what I came up with: all of those training miles have added up to a lot of sweat and a few important lessons.

Work is all mental. Whenever our coach Hassan Wajd gives us a hard workout to do, I always try to mentally break down, qualify, and redefine the assignment to convince myself that it’s really not that bad. For example, if we have to do eight half-mile runs, I think about running eight whole miles, but getting to stop early on each one. I know it sounds like convoluted logic, but that’s the point. Using this twisted reasoning truly does help me to not be scared of the work. If a teacher assigns 30 problems in a textbook, I think to myself, “It doesn’t take that long to do five problems, and I only have to do that six times.”

It is possible to think too much. Some-

times in a race or at practice, I over-focus on my time and pace. I constantly check my watch and calculate in my head how fast I was supposed to go, how fast I’m going, how much time I have left, and other distracting figures. As Coach Wajd then points out, if I would “quit playing games with it and just run,” I would probably perform much better. The same principle also applies to other areas of life. When I make decisions or learn new things, I tend to get so caught up in details, steps, and numbers that I fail. When I remind myself not to over-complicate these things, they usually come more naturally, and I do better.

3

Complaining is a waste of time. While I

like to think I more or less figured out these other lessons on my own, this one was actively and repeatedly forced into my head. In order to teach us that whining complaints are pointless, Coach frequently engages in what I call “reverse negotiation.” Whenever someone complains and suggests a decrease in the length of practice, Coach responds with a proportional increase in the assigned workout. It doesn’t take long for the message to sink in. I do believe that being in the habit of not voicing negative thoughts has helped me to think and speak more positively, and made me a more pleasant person to be or to be around.

Just do the work. Often in cross country training, there are opportunities to cheat. Sometimes, coach gives us a long route to run and then tells us to be back in an hour. I will honestly confess that it has crossed my mind to just go sit behind the school for 55 minutes, then jog back to coach. I could squirt myself with water to look sweaty, I tell myself. “Coach would never know the difference,” I reason. And then it hits me. On race day, it doesn’t matter how hard my coach or anyone else thinks I train, it only matters how hard I’ve actually trained. Coach will never find out if I really did run five miles over the weekend, but I run those miles anyway because I want to get faster and stronger. In real life, sometimes teachers don’t check homework, and the cops aren’t always watching me, but I try to do the homework and not run red lights anyway, to learn and to stay safe.

4

It feels great to do something well. Nothing compares to the intoxicating feeling of pride and satisfaction I get when I complete a hard workout and I’ve made all the required times, or when I finish a race and beat someone who’s beaten me before. I feel the same way if I stay up late and work really hard writing a paper for school, and then get a good grade on it. Knowing that hard work truly does pay off is exciting, and that motivates me to push myself even harder next time.

Football district changed, aspirations have not By Jake Gagne News Editor

Last year the Terriers’ had an early exit from the playoffs after being blown out by Armwood. That season left a lingering hunger for success that transferred into this year, marked by a strong showing against Plant City and Middleton. Said junior cornerback Albert Perry, “We have some new coaches, more plays and more talent this year.” All these factors point towards a successful season, however, this year it’s going to be a different ride to the post season, as the new district assignments have paired the Terriers with some real competition. The Florida High School Athletics Association (FHSAA) shuffles district composition every other year to keep up with demographic changes within the schools. Hillsborough is now the same district as Armwood, Jefferson, King, Leto, Sickles and Strawberry Crest, and it has nothing to do with performance or playoff record. An FHSAA official stated that district assignments vary from sport to sport, and football is one of the sports with many classifications and factors. However, regardless of sport, it is strictly population first, and then geography. A school can appeal to move up and down (with

special circumstances), but it is never based off ability or preseason notions. Thus, Hillsborough is now scheduled to play state class opposition in the regular season in Class 6A because they all have similar populations, as unique as their programs might be. Much of the controversy is over Armwood and Jefferson being in the same district due to the fact that they were both state finalists last year, with Jefferson winning it all in Class 3A and Armwood being three points away from a championship in 4A. Even more so than the fact that Hillsborough has to compete with them, it means that at least one of these three top-notch programs won’t make it into the playoffs at all. However, this new change hasn’t fazed the players or coaches. “I’m not intimidated by those teams,” said senior wide receiver Brandon Walcott. “All those teams had seniors that are gone now, they’re no competition.” And some of the team actually use this new schedule to fuel their intensity. “It just makes me want to play harder more than anything,” said junior running back Anthony Brown. One contributing factor to this confidence is the changes in the team this year, particularly

on offense. A number of new coaches and tactics have heightened the effectiveness and productivity of the Terrier offense. However their ability to play real quality teams remains uncertain, clouded by their 36-6 loss versus rival Plant. According to

Coach Earl Garcia, they “self-destructed,” something they can’t afford to do if they plan on taking the Class 6A title over their worthy opponents. With a recent 35-28 victory over Newsome, only time will tell the true strength of the Terriers.

Girls’ golf hopes to be up to par By Luke Votzke Sports Editor

The Lady Terriers have improved over the years, with troubles lying in participation, but this year’s lineup promises a better record. Part of this success is due to a freshman, Aleesha Mundra, who “just started playing this summer.” Currently ranked No.1 behind senior captain Kaajal Patel, Mundra looks forward to becoming a leader, but also looks to her teammates for advice and help. “I love playing with my teammates, they’re so nice and are always helpful,” Mundra said. She attributes much of her success to her driving. Said Mundra, “I drive 160 yards on a good day, but I still need to work on my putting.” Her weapon of choice is the Adams Golf Hybrid Driver, which combines some elements of a fairway wood, and the rest inspired by irons. Mundra starts her practice by hitting out onto the driving range, working on perfecting her swing to maximize distance. Then the team practices playing holes, getting used to the course and learning how to hit the ball, put spin on it, read the speed of the green and other skills

such as perfecting their approach. Patel, who has been on the team since freshman year, and is the only senior besides Hayley Zyndorf, is proud of what the team has become, and views golf as one of her best high school experiences. “I appreciate how golf teaches you more than just the game’s rules and tactics. It teaches you about life and the importance of confidence,” said Patel, all of which she has learned by playing for Hillsborough. The girls’ golf team views their recent victories as a result of their close team bonds. Although golf is an individual sport, they compete as a team, tallying up their scores to create an overall combined sport, in hopes of having a lower score than the opposing team. In a recent match against Jefferson, the Lady Terriers emerged victorious by a margin of 19, winning 263-282. Mundra, as well as another freshman, Jessica Thornton, both shot 65s, giving the team a comfortable lead over their adversaries. However, the girls’ team still has work to do. They suffered two losses in their first two games, against Riverview and Alonso, shooting 245-193 and 240-216 respectively. The win against Jefferson shows how they have improved, shooting lower and lower each match.
