letter from the editor Curling up under a blanket scented like the fire and knitted with the pattern of a pumpkin patch, I used to sit and watch Halloween movies with my family. My mother would make us hot apple cider that burnt your tongue just the slightest, but you had to keep drinking even if it gave you a sore. The smell that filled the air was a steady mixture, a swirl of Yankee candles, apple cider, the storage room we got our fall decorations out of, and the soup we had for dinner. The feeling these memories evoke for me

are some of the feelings I wanted to represent in this issue of the Pow Wow. I wanted to think of that classic fall or Halloween nostalgia that everyone loves, like the warm autumn browns and reds and the fun activities that come with this time of the year. I think that, this year especially, we all need to return to the traditions that come with the fall time. Football games, pumpkin patches, apple picking, soup weather and all the fun activities that we all know and love.

the truth behind the tradition Why we carve pumpkins on Halloween today Lexi Moeschler | Staff Writer Originally called the jack-o’lantern, the story comes from an Irish myth about Stingy Jack. Jack was said to have tricked the Devil for money. When Stingy Jack died, God did not allow him to enter heaven, and the Devil did not allow him to enter hell. Therefore, Jack was to roam the earth for eternity. In Ireland, people started to carve faces out of turnips to veer Jack’s soul away. When Irish immigrants moved to the U.S., they brought their tradition of carving the jack-o’lanterns, but out of pumpkins instead of turnips. This tradition became associated with Halloween because it is based on the Celtic festival Samhain, a celebration that marked the end of summer. During that time, it was assumed that the Samhain souls traveled to the other world and souls would return home. As part of their traditions, they wore disguises to hide themselves from wandering souls. What started as a myth turned into a tradition that has been going on since before the 8th

century. So this year when picking out your pumpkin be sure to find one that will veer the wandering souls away from your house. Don’t know how exactly to carve your pumpkin? Well don’t stress, just follow the steps below. Before: Before you start carving, you need to pick out your pumpkin. You should look for a firm and solid pumpkin with no soft spots or damaged areas. Next, you should check the age of your pumpkin. You can do this by poking the pumpkin with your fingernail. If your fingernail pierces through, then find another pumpkin. After you have found the perfect pumpkin be sure to carry it by the sides, not the stem. Step 1: Place your pumpkin on a solid surface that you wouldn’t mind getting dirty and can be cleaned easily (some people like to spread out newspapers or towels). Draw a circle around the stem of the pumpkin with a marker. You want the hole large enough to

fit your hand through. You also want it to keep the pumpkin’s shape. Step 2: Carve out the circle and pull out the guts and seeds. Use your knife to trace and cut the pumpkin where you just drew a circle. Once you cut the first piece, take off the top and scoop out the pumpkin’s insides. Step 3: Draw your desired design on the pumpkin. This is a good way to mess up with no consequences. Step 4: Cut out your design. Using a small knife cut along the edges and press the loose bits out of the pumpkin. Step 5: Put a light in your pumpkin, usually a candle. Then put the top of your pumpkin back on and put it in your yard. Optional extra step: If you want your pumpkin to last longer, soak your carved pumpkin in a solution of 1 teaspoon borax dissolved in a quart of warm water.

Right: Staff writer Lexi Moeschler’s carved pumpkins.

Although there are lots of different pumpkin carving kits that you can buy, here are the best tools to use that are affordable and easy. By using tools that you already have at home, it saves a lot of money and they won’t get lost in the years to come. The first tool that I would suggest is a serrated knife. This knife is good for the part where you cut the top off of the pumpkin. It is a strong knife and it can usually be found in your kitchen. The next knife that you should use to carve is a paring knife, by using a paring knife you can get in those tight corners and carve all of your small details. The last kitchen tool that you should use is an ice cream scoop. This is a great tool for scooping out the guts of the pumpkin, it beats having to use your hands.

here’s the kicker

Looking back at soccers’ 2005 record-breaking season

Sophie McCracken |Staff Writer Have you ever thought about what records have been broken in Bonner High history? Let me tell you about one player’s record-breaking season. In 2005, junior Jonny Baxter, a key junior varsity soccer player, broke the single season scoring record. Baxter broke the record by making 26 goals that season. Baxter was proud that all of his hard work paid off, but he didn’t take all the credit. Baxter said, “I was happy and very proud of my accomplishments, however, my teammates were there to give me the ball and I could not ask for more.” In 2005 the Bonner Braves soccer team was recognized by the All-Kaw Valley league. Not only Baxter was noticed but four of his teammates were as well.

Soccer is a sport that sometimes goes unrecognized, but in 2005 people took notice. Coaches were very excited to hear the news that five of their players were chosen for the first and second team All-Kaw Valley honors. “Having five guys on an all- league team is a sign that everything is headed in the right direction,” said head coach Jimmy Vogel. In addition, brothers Jonny and David Baxter both earned all-state recognition. It has been 16 years since Baxter’s broken record. Bonner Springs High School soccer continues to create history but no one has broken Jonny Baxter’s record.

opinion | october

the great candy corn debate The long-awaited answer to the age-old question Rosie Wilson |Staff Writer There seems to be no middle ground when it comes to candy corn. You either love it, or you hate it. We sent out a poll to the whole school to find the overruling answer, and here’s what we found.

Jazmin Romo “It’s disgusting and it tastes like latex. It sticks to your teeth, and then you’ve got to put your finger in there to take it out. Also what’s the point of eating it when there’s better candy out there, you know?”

Mariyah Noel “I’ll go with yes, but it depends on what the brand is. It’s a decent candy. It’s not like it’s terrible. I like the dryness, the sweetness, and the texture.”

Esther Tommy “I don’t like candy corn. I think it tastes funky. It doesn’t taste like real candy, it just tastes like something else, I don’t know what though. I would put candy corn in my bottom twenty.”

60%

Poll 40%

Sergio Polanco “I like candy corn because the texture isn’t that bad and the taste is not really “funky” like Esther Tommy said. The taste resembles vanilla flavored cake fondant and it’s sort of marshmellow-y, which is why I like it.”

hay daze

Bringing attention to the worst fall activity ever! Paytin Chaplin | Staff Writer

Have you ever been on a hayride? Well, I have and I am here to tell you how horrible I think they are. People think that hayrides are super enjoyable and aesthetic, but how are you supposed to enjoy something that is so dreadful? Do you like hay in your shoes? Silly goose, that is the only “fond” memory you will have from the hayride! They are uncomfortable and itchy and there will always be something that goes wrong.

Just because something is fall-y doesn’t mean it’s fun! Go to a pumpkin patch! Have a Halloween party! Just NEVER go on a hayride. They are awful! I am not the only one that thinks this. “Super itchy and bumpy and it hurts to sit on the hay…” said sophomore Makai Clarrey. “I fell off and they ran me over,” said freshman Emma Miller. See?! Hayrides have people in a daze! People want

to get into the fall spirit, but this makes no person happy. I don’t think anyone needs a better reason to never go on a hayride… but if you do, here are some more reasons; they are unsafe, you could break down halfway through the ride and get stranded somewhere. How scary would that be? It’s nighttime, and you are stranded on a pile of hay with people that you don’t know and will never see again after that night. Imagine that. I

feel like so many people are secretly uncomfortable the whole time, just not saying anything to anyone because they want to be “cute”. It’s not cute. So stop. Just stop. Please do something, anything other than a hayride this fall!

Zaynab Zlitni’s Halloween costume from around 2007. Being my own costume, I was at a Halloween parade and the best costumes were given the most candy.

Samhain, the Celtic holiday from which Halloween originated, was often celebrated by entire towns around a fire.

On the far right, Mrs. Quenette is dressed as a clown for Halloween that year in 1987. She was 4 years old and took this photo at her preschool. Her mother hand-sewed her and her brother’s costumes that year.

In 1989 Mr. Gibbens is pictured at 3 years old with his older sister Denise. He’s dressed as a dinosaur for Halloween and his mother handmade his costume for him.

Having been a huge Royals fan for most of his life, Mr. Moulin wore a George Brett costume for Halloween at 5 years old.

In the 1920s, teenagers often caused problems through jokes and other pranks on Halloween. This caused adults to make incentives like costume parties and trick-ortreating to keep them out of trouble.

from traditions to today Zaynab Zlitni |Editor-in-Chief

Costumes have always been a part of Halloween culture, but where did they come from? As October rolled around, all throughout my childhood the immediate buzz and conversation surrounding what you’d wear for Halloween swept in. For me, costumes always sparked laughter, excitement, and every other feel-good emotion you could imagine. Originating in Celtic celebrations over 2,000 years ago, costumes were worn to ward off ghosts and any other unwanted spirits. The holiday of Samhain was celebrated to usher off the dark part of the year, as well as welcome a new harvest. The Pagans believed that this was a time when the physical and spiritual world met. The costumes evolved into the fun tradition that they uphold today, enjoyed by millions of people worldwide each year. https://www.history.com/topics/halloween/history-of-halloween https://www.history.com/topics/holidays/samhain

movies to die for

A&E | october

Spooky movie recommendations from BSHS students Anni Smith |Staff Writer Carlos MojicaEscobodo (12) “Train to Busan is a zombie film. It drives suspense and puts you in fear. This movie is also one I recommend if you want to cry. This movie can bring out a lot of emotions. When it comes to things like ghosts, monsters, and stuff, I prefer thrillers, but for the rest including zombies and thrashers, I prefer gore.”

Tavian Cruse (11) “The movie I would recommend for people to watch would be Nightmare on Elm Street. The movie is telling you to dream big but not too big, but I would advise people not to dream too big or else he would visit you in your dreams. I prefer gore more than anything, when it comes to horror movies. ”

Natalie Davis (12) “The Conjuring is definitely my favorite. This movie is a very scary paranormal movie, and it will bring chills down your spine, and constantly put you on edge. I have once felt a spirits presence with me, when I was walking into a room of or a house, It is a very creepy experience and still leaves me chills every time.”

Hailie Madlock (11) “I would recommend Child’s Play. I am horribly terrified of dolls and the movie just overall creeped me out. It is a good movie if you are into haunted dolls. It takes the fear of dolls and twists the setting of the movie to make it more terrifying. I would choose thriller movies over gore movies more than anything. Thriller is much more my style just because I don’t like blood as much.”

Autumn Rawleigh (12) “Halloween is probably the best Halloween movie to watch during the spooky season. This movie was the first ever scary movie I had ever watched. I prefer thriller movies, due to me having a weak stomach. I had a terrifying moment that had happened to me, someone dressed as Michael Myers was walking around me, at the time I was terrified, pushed my brother into the person, and bolted home.” Elena Anderson (12) “Nightmare Before Christmas is a wonderful movie to watch during the fall season, as well as Christmas. This movie has amazing claymation designs and work. The music is amazing and this movie is just a classic. The scariest experience I ever had, was when I got a call from my friend, she was at a haunted house and gun shots rang out, I was scared for her, so my experience was a little different.” Andrea & Alondra Gomez (10) “A movie we would really recommend would be Happy Death Day. This movie creates suspense in the story, but it isn’t very scary to us. This movie would be very enjoyable. Thriller movies are more our style, We stay away from violence that is portrayed in gore movies. The experience that scares us the most was when we felt as though we were being touched, but no one was there, and no one had touched us.” Ash Shields (9) “My favorite horror movie currently is Hellfest! It’s about a group of teenagers who had gone to an amusement park, almost like Worlds Of Fun, when they have their haunt during the fall. The murderer blends into the crowd, as a worker, killing people one by one. I like the movie because it has many plot twists. I would rate this a 10/10. People should watch this movie!” Penelope Kline (10) “Fear Street series is actually pretty terrifying. This movie scared me so much when I had watched it. In a way, this movie is very disturbing . Thriller movies are more my type when it comes to horror movies. I have never experienced anything scary in my life, and I hope to keep it that way, because I would be terrified if something did happen.”

the abandoned house

story | october

Lyra Thompson |Guest Creative Writer

This was not how Alex had planned on spending Halloween night. He knew he and his friends shouldn’t have gone to the abandoned house - his parents would kill him if they found out - but curiosity got the better of them. Now, they had to worry about something actually killing them. Alex stared out the broken window into the deep, dark woods. The wind howled, blowing against the crumbling walls and shaking the chains that kept him and his friends bound in place. “I thought you said no one has lived here for decades,” Jacob whispered, his voice trembling. “That’s what I thought,” Alex told his friend, “How was I supposed to know this is now home base for serial killers?” “Stop talking,” Calvin said to the other two, “The louder you are, the faster he’ll kill us.” As the three boys sat in silence, Alex thought he could hear the faint scraping of metal coming from the room down the hall. He didn’t dare mention this out loud. The minutes dragged on. Alex wasn’t sure how long they had already been stuck there, but it felt like hours. If he had just taken his little sister trick-or-treating like he was asked to instead of leaving her with her friend’s parents, he wouldn’t be sitting here in the dark and cold, with nothing but the wind and his thoughts to listen to. Suddenly, they heard footsteps. The three friends looked at each other, eyes wide. Alex’s pulse quickened, and he could hear Calvin’s heavy breaths. The floor creaked as a figure cast a shadow over the friends. The figure emerged, now in full view of the boys. He was tall and very well-built, and he looked to be in his early thirties. His hair was messy and he was partially bald in some places. In his hands was a large butcher knife. “I’ve been sharpening this,” the man said with a sinister grin, running his fingers along the edge of the blade, “I’m going to enjoy this. It’s been a while since anybody has been stupid enough to wander through here.” He looked down at the three of them, almost giddy. “So, who’s first?” None of them spoke, or even moved. As uncomfortable as Alex was, he knew this man would take even a flinch as a sign to start with him. He didn’t look at his friends, but he prayed that they were thinking the same thing. “Tough crowd, I see,” the man said. His voice was deep and rough. “I guess it’s up to me, then.” He took a step closer to them, looking them over like they were a piece of produce at a grocery store. Don’t move, Alex reminded himself. The man crouched down and leaned in so close to them that Alex could feel his breath on his face. “How about...you?” The man seized Jacob’s shoulder so hard Alex worried it would dislocate, and pulled him up. He tied his hands together, then unchained him from the wall. Jacob tried to kick him, but the man was too strong. Jacob gave his friends one last terrified look before disappearing down the dark hallway. Guilt suddenly overpowered Alex’s fear. It was his idea to explore the old house, and his friends just followed him. If something horrible happened to Jacob, it would be all his fault. He didn’t know exactly what was going to happen to his friend, but he could guess. Alex’s thoughts were soon interrupted by sirens in the distance. He heard loud banging noises coming from the room where Jacob had been taken, and then the sound of glass breaking. For a few moments, everything was silent in the house, the only sound coming from the sirens. Alex and Calvin looked at each other warily. They heard footsteps again. The person who appeared in front of them, however, was not the killer, it was Jacob. Alex let out a breath, relieved. “The guy’s gone,” Jacob told them, panting. Apart from a few scrapes and bruises, he looked surprisingly unscathed. “He panicked when the sirens started and bolted out a window. But,” he held up a small key, “he left this.” He hurried over to them and freed them. Alex and Calvin stood up slowly and cautiously. Alex looked out a window to make sure no one else was there, then began to walk out the broken door. Together the friends made their way back to their neighborhood. None of them waved goodbye to each other, that seemed like too friendly of a gesture for what they had just experienced, they just shared a solemn look before separating and heading back to their own homes. Everyone was asleep when Alex arrived back home, but he suspected his parents would reprimand him the next day. As he walked up the stairs to his bedroom, he reflected on that night. Just minutes earlier, he was terrified for his life, but everything turned out okay in the end, he came out unharmed. It was like some practical joke gone too far. He had gone trick or treating with the universe, and the universe had given him a big trick. Alex lay in his bed and vowed to never visit that place again.

autumn activities

An exploration of local things to do this fall Thatcher Hoch | Staff There are a lot of things to do during the fall, like jumping into a pile of leaves or enjoying the autumn sunsets. The newly chilly weather makes you want to jump in a blanket and watch a movie, but I’m here telling you to get up and get out. There haven’t been many opportunities to get out and enjoy your time since the pandemic. Winter is the time to stay inside and watch movies, not fall. Enjoy the nicer weather while it lasts. I think a lot of people enjoy the fall because the days start getting short and the weather isn’t as hot, but fall goes by so fast that the days get colder very fast. There are many fun fall activities near Bonner and I checked some of them out for you.

The Cider Hill Family Orchard is a great place to start off your fall festivities. The environment at Cider Hill was absolutely astonishing. The welcoming signs and a great warm feel made it feel cozy and comfortable. There isn’t too much to do but the gravel parking lot and the all gravel roads gave it a great rustic feel. There is a gazebo that was long enough for benches and plenty of lighting. There are many buildings along with a barn where they host weddings and other events if you rent it out. It smells absolutely amazing! At first I couldn’t tell where it was coming from but it came from a small gift shop in between the barn and the house. After getting a couple of delicious donuts, I started walking

around. They have a train ride for young kids and later in the year they do hot apple cider and hay rides for you’re enjoyment. It’s a very family friendly place if you’re looking somewhere to kill an hour or two.

making memories at meuschke

If you’re not into cider then you’re in luck. I went to an amazing pumpkin patch close to Lawrence. After only an 18 minute drive, and an unexpected left turn I was there. The gravel road gave a great feel to the aesthetic. First thing you see is a truck parked out front that said “Pumpkins” that pointed left. I parked in the grass lot that they had. I walked up and was immediately greeted with a “welcome to Meuschke Farms, we have a corn maze, chickens, pigs, and hay bales. Enjoy your time”. I continued down the gravel road with intentions of seeing the animals and getting lost in the maze. I went to go see the roosters and the pigs that were eating. I turned around to a field

of pumpkins and sunflowers everywhere. I then cut across and went into the maze. It was pretty itchy, but it was a fun time. I had no clue where I was going but I guess that’s kind of the point. Eventually, after a long time of lefts and rights, I found an exit. Meuschke Farms is one of the better pumpkin patches that I’ve been to, with tons of attractions and great service. I had a lot of fun and I was told they’re open until Halloween so go if you have time.

haunt at worlds of fun If you’re not a fan of rainbows and butterflies there are some famous haunted houses and haunted attractions near here as well. First up is Halloween Haunt at Worlds of Fun, where I interviewed Alex Lechuga. I asked him how his experience was and he said “It was a great way to spend time with my friends”. People’s annoyance comes from the lines or wait so I then asked him about that. He responded with, “they weren’t as bad as I thought they would be for a Saturday night, the most I had to wait was 20-30 minutes for an attraction”. If you don’t want to wait in line though there’s an option to purchase the Fright Pass. This will let you skip ahead of the main line so

that you won’t have to wait at all. My next question was what his favorite attraction was and why. He said, “the cornstalkers were definitely my favorite attraction,” he answered. “I liked it because my girlfriend was terrified of the attraction and I thought it was hilarious. Overall I give the Worlds of Fun Halloween Haunt an 8/10.”

eerie times at exiled Last but certainly not least Is our very own Exiled in Bonner Springs. I decided to talk to Rylee Knight to ask her some questions about the experience. My first question was about how long the wait was. Knight answered, “It was like an hourlong wait and we had to sit next to the heaters because it was so cold,” Knight said. I then asked her how scared she felt while going through the trail. “I was terrified but laughing because they kept on calling out someone’s name in my group.” I wanted to know what the scariest part was. Knight said, “Getting chased through the woods and having to jump over the fallen tree that was in our way, I didn’t clear it and fell.” One thing that can tell

you if something was good or not is if they would go back. “I was relieved that it was over but it was fun so I would go again,” said Knight. Fall weather doesn’t last long so jump into a pile of leaves while you have the time. Hopefully this helps kill your time and enjoy the spooky season.

halloween in a hurry Costumes ideas in a time crunch

Rosie Wilson |Staff Writer No pressure, but a costume can make or break your Halloween. Whether you’re going trick or treating or to a party, having a costume is essential. However, not everyone has the time, money, or resources to find that perfect Halloween costume. Lucky for you, I’m here to save the day. I’ve rounded up some of the easiest, yet reliable costumes I could find.

Mummy

Tourist

This is probably one of the simplest costumes out there. All you’ll need is some gauze, t-shirts, or a white sheet. Cut them into strips and wrap them around yourself until you’re fully covered.

A floral shirt is essential for that staple tourist look. Pair it with a hat, khakis, and sandals to complete the look. Add in sunglasses, a camera, or a fanny pack to really top it off.

Wednesday Addams Wednesday wouldn’t be Wednesday without her iconic hair and black clothing. Of course, you’ll need to put your hair into two pigtail braids. Throw on a black dress, pair it with some black shoes and socks and you’re all set. Add a white button-up blouse underneath the dress to really complete the look.

Zombie

Everyone has a pair of ripped jeans and an old t-shirt. With some black and green makeup and lots of fake blood, you can fit right in with all the other zombies.
