Wildcat Welcome kicks off school year Emily Nowak staff writer The start of the school year can be an overwhelming experience. Students are still winding down from summer and have a lot of their plates. On August 7 and 8 Northview had it’s annual Wildcat Welcome Days to help students get organized before the first day. As always, there were different days for the different grades so it wouldn’t be overwhelming for everyone. On August 7 the seniors and freshman came in, and August 8 the

juniors and sophomores. They started off the day with taking the always anticipated, school pictures. According to sophomore Megan Mariucci, everything was very organized and they made the lines move fast and efficiently. “I was excited entering Wildcat Welcome Days for the fourth time in through my high school career. It’s always so great to see everyone after a long summer,” senior Sarah Muir said. The second step for the day was to go to the Media Center and get

While there, the students received their schedules, locker numbers, combinations, and even get a jumpstart on spirit wear and purchasing their yearbooks.

LINK leaders welcome the freshmen Steven Barry staff writer

A freshman’s first day of high school can be a very scary and stressful experience. But, here at Northview the Class of 2021 was greeted by the friendly faces of their LINK leaders. Each year on the first day, a group of juniors and seniors end their summer a day early to welcome the new class to NV. The upperclassmen greet the freshmen and help make their transition to high school a

little easier. One of the many freshmen that started their high school career here at NV was Trent Woelfl. “My favorite part of LINK Day was meeting new people and playing 64 squares with my group,” Woelfl said. Icebreakers are very common for the LINK groups to play. Sixty-four squares was a very popular game among the groups, it entails telling stories and guiding the freshmen progress through high school. One of the many LINK leaders for this school year was junior Breanna Fangman. Fang-

man made many great memories and had lots of fun at this year’s LINK Day. “My group really looked like they enjoyed LINK Day. They asked lots of questions, looked interested, and their favorite part was painting the spirit rock,” Fangman said. Junior Madison Schalk was also one of this year’s LINK leaders; Schalk and senior Tyler Beattie lead one of the groups. Schalk enjoyed helping the freshmen find their place at NV. “We played 64 squares and the freshmen had a ton of fun,” Schalk said. The theme for their

Exchange students take NV Open House at NV Korrin Zollweg

Imagine traveling thousands of miles by yourself to a different country, having to speak a foreign language, and eating strange food, all away from your family. That is exactly what foreign exchange students did in the beginning of August. Traveling from all areas of the globe: Nina Buhlmann is from Germany, Rashida Akyaa from Ghana, Elisabetta Carazzai is from Italy, and others from Slovakia, Norway, Finland will spend the next nine months here in Sylvania immersed in the American culture while they stay with Sylvania families. All of the students are multilingual, speaking their native language and English but many of them speak other languages as well. When all together they like

Foreign exchange students from Germany, Italy, and Ghana are spending their time at Northview and learning about our culture. to laugh, joke and bond in English since it is the most common language between all of them. In order to come on this once in a lifetime trip, all of the teens had to be at the top of their class. They are all very good students and are focusing hard to keep up with their new school work in English. Many of the students have had major adjustments to make

as they learn the American culture. Many of the students have said the biggest difference is the food and learning what they do and do not like here. “The food in America is much bigger than in Germany. Here you can get burgers everywhere. At home the only time we get burgers is if we make them at home,” junior Nina Buhlman said.

the main topic of the day. Big rocks could be anything from your school work to spending time with your family. The challenge was accommodating these “big rocks” into your daily and weekly schedule , and to practice the seniors were given a chart to visually layout their week on a timeline and see how they could properly fit in what they had and wanted to do. For many students this was a helpful activity because it revealed to them that they wanted to change their dai-

ly routine. Some believed they could handle more in their week and filled their schedules more, while others thought they may need to leave more free time for themselves. This event gives the students opportunities to learn important lessons that they may otherwise not get. Juniors can look forward to this event (and the free pizza at lunch) with excitement to connect with their classmates and learn more about themselves.

Open House is an important event that happens every year. This event is always at the very beginning of the school year. The point of Open House is to invite parents of students to meet their children’s teachers. This allows the parents to get insight on what their students’ classes are going to consist of, and they get to meet the teachers as well. During the Open House, parents go from each of their students’ classrooms to the next following their child’s schedule. During a free period that the child may have, including study hall, commons, or lunch, parents may go into the cafeteria. In the cafeteria, there are tables set up with booths from multiple organizations that parents can look at to consider put-

ting their child into. This year multiple students were standing at the cosmetology booth. “Parents from all grade levels of kids came and walked around the cafeteria and even came up to our stand and asked us questions,” senior Salma Zaim said. Not only did the parents walk around to the kid’s classes, but there were also meetings before the Open House. There was one for freshmen parents about information on the school and what to expect at their four years at NV. The other was for senior parents on helping their student apply for colleges. The entire Open House was a success and ran smoothly. Parents were able to get the information they wanted to know about what their student’s school life will be.

Creech, Swaggerty win awards Kayla Thielen online editor The Sylvania community has much to celebrate when it come to teachers and administrators. “With so many dedicated and hardworking staff members, it is wonderful to see them rewarded for their passion and talent. I am proud to have both the Administrator of the Year and Teacher of the Year working at Northview,” senior Taylor Wood said. Art teacher Ryan Creech was awarded Educator of the Year this past year. His hard work and dedication can be seen inside and outside of the classroom. He works hard in his classes and started a new AP Art History class which he makes fun and interesting even with the big text

books. He also takes time out of his busy schedule to provide extra time for his students to work on projects after school. “Mr. Creech is a great teacher to be around and I love going to his class,” senior Delaney McGranahan said. “He makes art intriguing for all of the students in the class and clearly he is passionate about the topic.” His passion follows him outside of the classroom as well. He can be seen coaching soccer and taking groups of students to Italy like he did this past summer. Principal Steve Swaggerty is an essential component to life at Northview. Whether it be in the classroom, on the field or in competitions Mr. Swaggerty is always there to cheer on and support his NV family.

“He always encourages us and lets us show off our talents,” junior Jessie Degen said. Traveling to Alabama for the Rocketry Team or coming out every Friday night for the football games are just a few of the ways he supports students. He and Mr. Creech also started the Leadership Academy to encourage young student leaders. Consistently he motivates students to reach out and do things for themselves. “Our team of staff, students, parents, and community members is a great one, and we have a lot of momentum right now. Any accolades are a direct reflection of our work together over these past handful of years,” Mr. Swaggerty said.

New change in management Hailey Brothag staff writer After 17 years in the district Adam Fineske has been named the Sylvania Schools Superintendent. Before taking this position he was the Director of Teaching and Learning, Principal of Hillview, and taught third grade at Sylvan Elementary school. One of the ways most high school students typically knows the superintendent is because he is the one who decides on the two hour delays and school closings for the district. But he does much more than that and he also cares about all of kids in the Sylvania district. On a personal side, Dr. Fineske loves Mexican food, in fact his favorite restau-

rant is The Sundown Cantina in Mayberry. He also loves going to Michigan football games. “It’s fun, it’s a great getaway,” he said. He is married and has three children. His oldest, Liz, is a freshman at NV, Andrew is a sixth grader, and Nicholas, his youngest, is a second grader. Dr. Fineske says he hopes to be at this job long enough to hand all of his children their diplomas himself. Dr. Fineske’s daily routine typically consists of going to two different schools to check on some of the students and teachers. “One of my favorite parts of this job is the students, I love to interact with kids,” Dr. Fineske said. He said the biggest thing he wants everyone to know is to stop and think why. Why are you doing something and why do

New senior tradition Emily Nowak staff writer Seniors Daniel Draheim and Tyler Beattie are already making changes at Northview by hopefully starting a new Senior Class tradition: the parking lot party. On August 16, the night before school started, Draheim sent out a text message inviting all members of the Senior Class to the NV parking lot for one last goodbye to summer. The event included cornhole, writing their names in chalk in a parking spot, eating good food, and hanging out with their peers. Although the seniors didn’t plan on parking in those spots, they still found it fun to decorate and claim one. “It was so much fun to hangout with everyone. Not to mention I had always wanted to decorate my own parking spot, even if there’s no guarantee I get the spot everyday, it was still a cool experience,” senior Sarah Adya said. Although there was no entrance fee, it was encouraged to bring a case of water to donate to Cherry Street Mission. “As Senior Class officers, we decided in order to have a successful year in Class Government we needed to do something for the people that have done so much for us,” Draheim said. After careful discussion and consideration of what people fine entertaining they finally came to an agreement. “We wanted to take this opportunity to help the community as well. We heard that Cherry Street mission needed bottled water so we decided to take donations from the people coming. We received 363 bottles of water and could not be happier #MakeNorthviewLitAgain,” Draheim said. The vibes that the tailgate gave off, prepared the seniors for the anticipation and excitement of their last year of high school. They did all of this while still helping out for a good cause. In the future, Draheim hopes the tailgate will be made into a tradition, but it is all in the hands of the juniors. In the end, it’s all about what you want to make of your last year being a Wildcat.

The Great American Eclipse arrives

The Great American eclipse was the first total solar eclipse in the continental U.S. in 38 years. The last eclipse of this size occurred February 26, 1979.

Sylvania did not see complete coverage of the sun. At totality, Sylvanians could see about 82% of the sun covered by the moon.

An eclipse happens when the moon crosses in front of the sun and covers it. This casts a shadow across the earth which is where we see the “eclipse.”

Many students were able to view the eclipse with special glasses or viewing boxes. It is extremely dangerous to look at the eclipse without eye protection.

Science teachers Kathryn Nelson and Paula Werner created a safety and informational video that was viewed by all Northview Wildcats.

After school, a small crowd of students gathered near the baseball field as soon as school let out to view the eclipse. Senior Kat Arndt’s dad brought a giant professional telescope to help students view the eclipse, it used a special darkened and protective lens.

Students create a New Mock Trial Club Zoey Napierala staff writer

Mock Trial, which is a law program is now finding roots in the student made clubs at Northview. It includes arguing for both sides of a court case and presenting your case just like an actual courtroom. Mock Trial was created by seniors Maxwell Qian, Jeremi-

ah Luke, and Kiran Kodali. They went to Principal Steve Swaggerty last year and their idea got approved. English teacher Elizabeth Rauscher was then asked to lead the group. The group is looking to get eight more members, according to Mrs. Rauscher. “We are looking for a student who can hold a good argument, deconstruct a situation, see both sides, and is

good at writing and speaking,” Mrs. Rauscher said. There are only a few spots on the team, but some alternates may be accepted. The people who are trying out will need to bring a resume about their skills and responsibilities they have and a three minute speech defending a person of their choice. “For my speech I’m going to defend the Big Bad wolf, because

it’s a different way to look at one of the first villains you ever learn about,” junior Hannah Dorris said. The first competition is not scheduled yet but is expected to be around January. For the competition, the team will be given a court case within the next few weeks and will then review the case. The team will not know what side they will be defending until the competition date.

The team would be responsible to work and defend both sides until then. Mock Trial tryouts are scheduled for September 20 from 2:45-5pm in Mrs. Rauscher’s room (F5). All grades are welcome to tryout. The team will be announced on September 22. For information see Mrs. Rauscher.

students at NV than Southview. And at the last check on enrollment numbers, it was 1,331 NV, and 1,157 SV. This may alarm some of you, but let's break it down to the facts. Most students may not realize, but the PAC, G-hall, the Aux Gym, and other parts of the building were not always there. Many were added after construction of the main building. These expansions provided more room for school activities and student growth. According to

Assistant Principal Chris Fahim, there have been no plans to add on to the school yet. Even though expanding the school is not in the picture, the new redistricting plan has been laid out and approved by the Board of Education, and it will go into effect for the 2018-’19 school year. The board has not made a decision about open enrollment, but after a year they will make a decision. Many students are open enrolled at NV and SV with

a whopping 159 open enrolled students at NV. And don't worry, all 159 of those NV student's will be grandfathered in, no matter what the board decides. Principal Steve Swaggerty stands by the board of education by saying, “Whoever the Board of Education says is a NV student, we will make sure the best of our time, resources, and money is spent to help them grow.” According to Mr. Swaggerty, the northwest section of the dis-

trict has been growing more and more, most of those students end up going to NV. But as Mr. Fahim explained, “The pendulum swings back and forth between the two schools, it will even out in the end.” And he may be right, there were at one point over 1,400 students at NV. "It's one of those things where there's no solution, but between the two schools we are in a good spot to do our best to make students feel like not just a number,” Mr. Fahim said.

Talking to friends, finishing that last math problem, using the restroom, and getting a drink are some of the many activities that could fill that five minute period of time between classes.

Yay

Chrome yay or chrome nay?

This school year, all students had the opportunity to receive their own Chromebook to use. Being in charge of your own personal Chromebook comes with a lot of responsibility. I think this is a good thing for students. Students are in charge of taking care of them, charging, and keeping track of them. If a student damages their Chromebook it's their responsibility. This is better because in previous years you would be in a class using a chromebook from the cart and you would realize that there was something that wasn't quite working. I used chromebooks many times where the touch pad and some of the keys on the keyboard didn’t work and I couldn’t switch it out because all of the Chromebooks were being used. Even though you didn’t damage the device you were still stuck using it for the class. Also, with the new 1 to 1 Chromebooks it is the student's responsibility that the Chromebook is charged throughout the day. Students are required to charge their devices at home every night. So, if a student forgets to charge it it’s their responsibility. This is better because so many times in class in past years

I would go to get a Chromebook from the cart and half of them had not been plugged in and charged. This is so frustrating when you can’t seem to find a Chromebook that even turns on and you just want to get the assignment done. Having your own Chromebook also has advantages in that you can personalize it. You can add your own bookmarks to the toolbar if wanted. This is very helpful if you want to find a page quickly. Students can have bookmarks for all their google classrooms or teacher’s websites. Finally, another positive to have your own Chromebooks is that students can use them all of the time. In the past, when you were in study hall or commons and needed to use a computer you had to go to the Media Center. But now, you can just stay where you are to your work done. Also, some students do not have computers at their homes so having these devices at home is very useful so that students can work at home. There are many advantages to 1 to 1 Chromebooks. If students are responsible with them and make good use of them they are a great asset life at and away from home. ~Josie Umfleet

This year, NV decided that every student would get their own Chromebook. Who agrees these chromebooks are a hassle? I was told to bring my Chromebook to all of my classes, but I only use it for two classes. So I basically carry it for no reason most of the day. Along with carrying it, I also have to carry my books, folders, and agenda book. It’s a lot to carry and my shoulders start to hurt. Another reason these Chromebooks are a no go is because of the style. The Chromebooks have to stay in their case. It then makes it looks like I’m

versity, Owens Community College, Lourdes University, and the University of Toledo. All students can participate, but some classes require you to have a qualifying ACT, SAT, or Accuplacer score. “I don’t think you have to be a straight-A, high-flyer, 4.0 student to benefit from CCP,” counselor Crystal Burnworth said. “I think you could be a student who is fascinated with Sociology who took a half year with us, but you wanna continue that passion, so you take UT Sociology.” CCP can help restless seniors

when senioritis starts to kick in. By taking both college and high school classes, CCP allows students to feel like they are one step closer to college. Being a step ahead also means that they need to be one step ahead in their studies, too. While CCP is a great opportunity because you get to receive college credit without paying the tuition or material fees, there are some drawbacks. The grade you receive is put onto your high school and college transcript. That means that if you get a bad

carrying a briefcase. It’s not cute at all and it ruins the look of my outfit. Next, some classrooms have really bad wifi and it can take up to five minutes to load. I was taking notes for one of my classes and my Chromebook started glitching then reloaded, after it was back to working I missed half of those notes. Usually, my weekends are spent at dance competitions and I’m out of town, taking a Chromebook finding the wifi is too much work, I’d rather just whip out my papers. Juniors and seniors received the old Chromebooks so it makes it easier for them to break.

I will be sitting in class and my friends sometimes will turn my Chromebook off and then I have to resign in. I dislike how this is my personal Chromebook, personal means mine, but it doesn't feel like mine when my teachers can see everything I do at any given time. I also want to have a background picture, so when I open up my Chromebook I have something fun or pretty to look at. These Chromebooks don't allow for one. The biggest reason for my hatred, is I like to have control over my work, I prefer paper and writing out stuff over typing. ~Abby Summers

College credit plus is the way to go Marian Estifan staff writer If you feel like the courses at Northview aren’t enough of a challenge, you might want to consider adding some College Credit Plus, CCP, courses to your schedule. CCP, is a program that provides a wider variety of rigorous educational options to “college ready” students. Currently, students can take classes online or on campus at Bowling Green State Uni-

grade, it would also be put into your high school and college GPA. Additionally, if you fail a course, you would have to pay the tuition and material fees, which can get pretty expensive. It’s very important to consider all the advantages and disadvantages before choosing to participate. Sophomore Kaushy Gera is just one of the many students who has benefited from CCP. Gera took Health and Government over the summer. “It’s so easy to get signed up and get both college and

high school credits, and learn more in the process,” Gera said. I know I’m just a sophomore, but college is two years away and just getting a head start and knowing how the transition to college feels means everything to me.” CCP is a great opportunity that students should consider. Nowadays, tuition and textbooks are really expensive. Not too many students participate in CCP, but if it was advertised more, a lot more students would be participating.

rundown Welcome freshmen. Keep reading because this is specifically for you. These next four years at Northview will be times you will remember for quite a long time. It is a time for you to find out who you are and a time where lifelong friendships blossom. In order to have a successful and fun time at NV, there are a few things you should know: The do’s and don’ts of high school. DO NOT PROCRASTINATE. DO NOT PROCRASTINATE. DO NOT PROCRASTINATE. I cannot stress this enough. I’m a pro at the art of procrastination (which is not a good thing), and it definitely bites you in the behind later on. I have learned through the years that putting

~Andrea Almeida and Emily Martinez things off may seem like a good idea at the moment, but in the long run...it is not. Don’t blow off your freshman year either. Your classes are easy if you put in the work and do what you are supposed to do. If you start with a strong base in your GPA, your future self will thank you later, trust me. Many of you have already learned, but for those of you who have not, please walk on the RIGHT side of the hallway. Do not be that one person who is forcing their way against traffic. Freshman year is the time when you should get good grades in all of your classes and get a

high GPA. Your freshman GPA is the start of your cumulative GPA so getting a really high GPA to start out with will make your life so much easier when you are a senior. Another thing freshman should do is go to the football games and cheer in the student section. Cheer loud and proud for the football team, it’s fun! Your freshman year is a big year so do well in your classes, have fun with your new friends, and cheer at the games. Also don’t walk on the wrong side of the hallway or you will make many people mad. Follow these do’s and don’ts and your freshman year will be great.

Well folks, buckle up because this column is geared towards all my senior readers. Guys, we’re seniors! Even the idea of it is still weird to me. At the football game we had the Color Cloud for Student Council and it suddenly occurred to me that this is my last Color Cloud. That’s when I realized: everything was my last, for the most part. As seniors there is a lot riding on making the most of our year. Whether it be front row at every football game, attending every school dance, or spending quality time with friends that you’ll eventually have to part ways with, senior year is one that we have to make the most of. That being said, with the fun comes the pressure. Whether it be front row at every football game, attending every school dance, or spending quality time with friends that you’ll eventually have to part ways with, we have to face it; we’re running out of time and the pressure is on to make our last high school year an unforgettable experience. Not to mention we have to perform the small tasks of applying to colleges, deciding our futures and moving out of our childhood homes. So here’s a few tips I’ve gathered from adults who are out of school and wishing they could relive the “glory days.” Show off your school spirit: Going to various sporting events (especially football games) and going all out in the student section is absolutely the way to go. Don’t be afraid to show off your inner Wildcat; dress for the theme and have a really good time cheering with your peers and supporting your friends on the field and court. And even further than sporting events, support the theatre program in their performances and the choir, band, and orchestra in their concerts. It not only lets you experience something really fun, but it also shows your peers that you support them. Try something new: Never been to a school dance? Now is the perfect time to try one. Not only do we have fun themes for our annual Homecoming and Turnabout dances, but now that we’re seniors we have Prom to look forward to! Don’t have a date? Don’t let that stop you! Going with some of your friends can take the pressure off finding “the perfect date” and it can help you have a carefree and fun night! It’s your last year Cats, there’s no reason you should miss something so easy and fun like a school dance. Enjoy your friends: Friends are one of the most important parts of high school. Making good friends that you can hang out with, tell your secrets to, struggle through high school with, and make the best memories with are the key to having a good high school experience. Odds are you and your best friends aren’t going to the same college, so it is important that you spend whatever time you can with the people you love and are close to before you move on to the next chapter of your life. You should also try to meet new friends and form new friendships with the people you’re in school with, because this will be your last chance to do so. These senior year memories will last a lifetime, so why not make them with your best friends by your side? All in all, senior year is said to be one of the best of your life, so don’t be afraid to show off your school spirit, try new things, and enjoy the time you have with your friends. Let’s make this year count seniors!

describe camp i n one word, I would describe it as ‘breathtaking.’" “A typical day at camp would be to wake up and have a delicious breakfast, then have a fun morning activity outside,” sophomore Lydia Ludwig said. “After that we had some free time to chill by the pool, go zip lining, go hiking on a trail in the mountains, go horseback riding, and spend quality time with the best people ever!” “After gaining some energy back from lunch we have some more free time, then comes the best part of the night; club! Club is filled with lots of singing, dancing, and very wise people sharing testimonies, and stories about Jesus. Because of all the quality time, and genuine happiness brought by God and all of the people there, camp is the best experience ever,” Ludwig said.

Over the summer of 2017, students from both Northview and Southview participated in a trip to France for their French classes. While there, the students experienced many different aspects of the French culture. On the trip, the students and teachers visited multiple different cities in France, including Paris, Nice, Monaco, Eze, and Lyon. The students who stayed with families stayed from June 23 till June 27, but if they did not stay with a family they left a week earlier. The students would experience the daily lives of French people. “Staying with my French family was much different from living in America. They follow a schedule everyday that included eating meals together and going to the bakery as well,” senior Lily Bell said.

For seven days students grew closer not only to each other but in their faith. Students were taught that they are never alone. Students spent their week horseback riding, zip lining, rock climbing, swimming, playing sports, and so much more.

While the students were in the cities, they went on many different adventures. They visited multiple different major monuments, including the Eiffel Tower. In France, they visited a perfume factory called Fragonard. There they could experience how perfume was manufactured. Another factory they visited was a candy factory and got a tour of it as well. They got to experience how the candy was made. They also had the chance to visit the beaches and were able to relax and soak in the beautiful scenery. France is also known for having extravagant shopping in Paris, so they most definitely took advantage of this. Overall, the trip was very informative for the students and the teachers. All the participants had the opportunity to experience the French culture first hand.

Color Cloud hypes student section

FRESHMAN JILLIAN TURNER runs out of the cloud with filled with excitement and covered with color. “My first color cloud was such a fun experience, I really didn’t know what would happen, but it exceeded my expectations. I can’t wait to do it again next year,” Turner said.

3...2...1…throw. Laughter, powder, and spirit explode into the air. As the powder dissipates, students emerge covered in color and filled with excitement. Welcome to the Student Council’s second annual Color Cloud. The Color Cloud is an event where students can purchase a ticket for $5, and with their purchase they receive a shirt and three packets of color. On the night of the event there were three separate clouds at ten minute intervals in which students threw one of their three packets, and at the end everyone was covered in the colored powder and ready to take on the student section for the neon out. This year Student Council sold out of shirts and sold just powder to some students who still wanted to participate, but didn’t get a shirt. Around 560 students participated, compared to 400 at last year’s event. “I’m amazed at how much the event has grown from last year. Everyone on Student Council works so hard to plan events like this, and I’m so glad there are so many students who participate and have a good time. It makes all of our hard work so worth it, and I

hope we continue to add to this event,” Student Council Advisor Tami Blue said. In addition to upping the student participation this year, Student Council designed a custom Snapchat filter for the event and made a background for people to take pictures. They also were able to promote it more by showing a video they made from last year in homeroom. “It already was such an incredible event last year that it was hard to figure out what we could add to it to make the experience even better,” Student Council President Grace Cappellini said. “This year a lot of what we focused on was the little details that people may not notice as much, but increase the overall experience like the Snapchat filters and photo background. We also set up check in so it would go a lot smoother with the increased number of students participating.” With the dedication of Student Council and ‘the best student section ever,’ this year’s Color Cloud demonstrated the awe-inspiring impact one group can have on the atmosphere of Northview. -Erin Chambers

Students at Northview spent their summer in a variety of different ways, but for 10 performers this summer was filled with hard work, dancing, and a lot of singing. NV Theatre put on their annual summer musical. This year they performed Songs for a New World. Songs for a New World tells that one make-or-break it moment that can change your life forever. The show has an underlying message of no matter what you face, you’re going to be okay. The show involves teen pregnancy, a woman contemplating jumping off the edge of a building, an abused boyfriend, all the way to dying soldiers and war hero mothers fighting to keep their spirits up. This show is nothing short of inspirational and a phenomenal thing to experience. Every year, there’s a state conference many schools from Ohio come together to celebrate their love for theatre. Two years ago, NV presented the 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee and was selected to perform at the State Conference for all of the schools to come and watch. This year, NV was lucky enough to be selected to perform again at the state conference, presenting Songs for a New World.

Orchestra sets standards to be better Nora Gera staffer Northview’s two talented orchestras have come together to set a new goal: be better. This new slogan, introduced by orchestra director Pam Thiel, has come through as a way to unify the orchestra but also as a way to inspire the community. This new orchestra environment provides a new goal each week to students and challenges them with the over arching theme of ‘be better.’ Helping conduct NV orchestra for the past 21 years, Mrs. Thiel decided to make improvements on advocating for a better musical community. As one of the biggest milestones at Orchestra, two of her students have made it to the National level in orchestra. It was this unprecedented accomplishment that led to more inspirational moments. “We can be better people, we can be better students, we can be better friends, we can be better musicians, and we can just be better,” Mrs. Thiel said when discussing the

vibrant new slogan. “It’s made me work harder at everything I do, and it makes me think that it’s not about being the best at everything but just working to improve. I’ve lived up to it by making sure to set aside time each day to practice cello,” junior Claire Gray said. “I’m so excited to be a part of all state orchestra. This has been my goal for a long time and I’m so thankful for everyone who has helped me achieve this,” junior McKenna Burke said. Orchestra has included people from different groups and different walks of life and each week Mrs. Thiel wishes good luck to specific activities students do. Mrs. Thiel does believe that different groups coming together to make music helps strengthen and unify it. Along with a new slogan, there have been many awards and accomplishments with the orchestra. Nine students will go to Regional Orchestra: freshman Sam Kim, sophomore Kaushy Gera, junior McKenna Burke, junior Hannah Dorris, junior Danny Lee, junior Alexis Van Klingeren, senior Erika Chen, senior Adam Murphy, and senior Karen Pan. Even better, four of those students will continue on to All-State. The four students going to All-State ties a record for the most

About the musician: How long have you been playing violin? I’ve been playing for six years. What is your favorite memory of orchestra? My favorite memory would be going to Disney World freshman year. What’s your go-to piece? National Emblem! What do you like to do in your free time? Practice! Just kidding, I watch unhealthy amounts of Netflix. What will you miss most about orchestra? Danny Lee <3. What do you plan on going after high school (i.e. College)? I want to major in violin performance at a conservatory and play in a symphony someday.

The boys’ soccer team has started off their season 2-2-2 so far. Starting out the season NV played against the former number one team in the nation, St. Ignatius. The Cats fell to them, losing 3-2 but they fought until the very end of the game. In the Cats’ second game of the season they played at Pioneer in Ann Arbor. The Cats struggled to find the back of the net the entire game until 8 minutes left to play in the game. Senior Andrew Kunkel had an equalizer that tied the game. Unfortunately, the Cats were caught by surprise when Pioneer had one more attack left in them with 37 seconds left to play and scored giving them the win.

The team took on St. Francis in their fourth game of the season. The game went into halftime 0-0 leading to a very exciting second half. About half-

Not too long after they were rewarded with a free kick outside of the box and took advantage of it, scoring and putting them up 1-0 with about 20 minutes left to play. The Cats never gave up hope.

The Cross Country teams starts their training in the summer to get a head start on the season. Each day they would meet at Wildwood around 8 AM and do various workouts on the trails. The teams had their first conjoined meet on August 26 at the South Lyon CC Invitational in Brighton, MI. At the meet, the girls came in first out of eight teams and the boys came in fourth out of nine.

Last year both the Girls’ and Boys’ team lost five seniors and since then gained eight freshmen along with three transfer students from Southview. Both teams are hoping that maybe the change in team members will put them in first at NLLs. Last year, the Girls’ team came in first at the competition. “We put in a lot of good summer miles and worked hard during the off season. We think more than anything that it will help us win this fall,” said Girl’s coach, Jerry Flowers.

The teams participated in the Tiffin Carnival which was on September 9 at Hedges Boyer Park. The Boys’ Varsity came in 24th place out of 32 teams and the Girls’ Varsity came in ninth out of 20 teams. The Girls’ Varsity member with the best time was Emma Steingass, a freshman, with a time of 19:45. On the Boys’ Varsity, Cooper Losey came in 67th with the best time of 16:56. As the season goes on, the team will wind down by decreasing their mileage.

The Cats came ready to play in the first scoring two goals and going into halftime up 2-0. The Cats beat Saline 2-1 capturing their second win of the year. “ I’m excited for what the rest of the season is going to bring for us,” junior Ryan Bules said. The Cats hope to maintain success and have a great tournament run.

Girls’ soccer kicks off

After a long summer of hard work and dedication, Northview girls’ soccer was ready for the upcoming fall season. The girls put up a good fight for their first game against the Brunswick Blue Devils but lost 0-2. On August 22, the Ladykats took on the Notre Dame Eagles at Cats Stadium. It turned out to be a disheartening game for varsity losing 0-2. Traveling to Perrysburg on August 30, the varsity team had another upsetting loss of 0-4 to the Yellow Jackets. The Ladykats packed up their bags and headed to Indiana September 1 and 2. The first game of the long Labor day weekend facing Zionsville ended in a 0-1 loss. The next day the Ladykats were defeated by the Harrison Warriors and lost 1-2. Even though this season has proved to be challenging for the girls soccer team, their hope and determination has not been lost. “We struggle the most with finishing our plays,” junior Molly Schroeder said, “we work well together on the field but we just can’t score.” -Bree Fangman

Golf teams’ Invitational Success Football Off to 3-0 Start Emily Thielen staff writer

As a team, Northview took second place at the Sylvania invite with junior Lexi Knight winning individually. The team also had a big win at the Defiance invite, taking home first place. Knight also won individually at the invitational, which landed her a tie with the school record for nine holes with a score of 32. After the first six games, the team has managed to win them all. The team also plays in the North West Ohio Girls Golf League.

Northview girls have also been very successful in this league winning one match and taking second in another. The boys team also took first place at the Sylvania Invitational. Another one of the team’s accomplishments is beating the school rival, Southview. The team has remained undefeated in the season so far and is set up well to win the league. They are also in a good position to qualify for the state tournament in a little under a month. For individual performances, senior Jack Kunkel had an outstanding performance at Stone

Ridge Golf Club, shooting a bogey free 64. He currently holds the lowest average of 35 for the team and shoots under par essentially every time he plays. Senior Andy Riggs has also been having a very successful season. Riggs shot a 73 at the Sylvania Invitational, averaging with a 37. Riggs had to miss some of the earlier tournaments of the season because he qualified for a national tournament in Mississippi where he played division one golfers from all around the world.

Volleyball Standings Emma Swanson staff writer Northview’s Volleyball team has put blood, sweat, and tears into their training all in preparation for this season. The girls dedicated themselves to the team over the summer by attending workouts four to five times a week. The team went to their first league game of the season against Anthony Wayne on August 29. The girls started off the season with a win after ending the match with a score of 3-1. Junior McKenna Hall had a particularly successful game after being titled “Player of the

Match”. The girls then had their second game of the season on August 31 in Bowling Green. Despite the success of their first game, the girls suffered their first loss of the season after this match with a score of 2-3. For the third game of the season, the girls battled it out with the Cougars across town this month in an eventful back and forth match on September 5. The Cougars showed they were there to win after scoring the first point of the match. SV took the lead by winning the first set, but the Wildcats came back by winning the second and third set. Although Southview stole

the lead by winning the last two sets of the match. The match ended with a score of 3-2, but the Wildcats are ready to face them again on September 28 at home. Junior Molly O’Brien was hoping for a different outcome to the game. “I’m sad we didn’t win, but we’re going to come back on the 28th and give it our best,” O’Brien said. Coach Chad Rutkowski is very proud of the girls and their effort, despite the outcome of the game. “Historically, Northview has come out on top and this time we did not, I thought we played well, and any time you play a rival it can really go either way,” Rutkowski said.

Patrick Andres sports editor Very few teams in the Toledo area are as hot right now as the Wildcats. They are a sizzling 4-0, and boast wins over a trio of decent teams in Waite, Clay, and Bowsher. And they have gotten to this point in dominant fashion: Northview has outscored its opponents in their first four games 115-35. The Wildcats travelled to Waite and battered the Indians in a rout at Mollenkopf Stadium. First, senior Joey Okeke tallied a 45-yard touchdown. Next, quarterback Brandon Leach, another senior, set classmate Jeffrey Blanks up for a pair of touchdowns. Leach boasted a solid 164 yards through the air in the victory. If it was possible, the Cats looked even better the next game, against the Eagles of Clay. Leach had a field day against the porous Eagle defense - he threw for a gaudy 212 yards and two touchdowns in the NV victory.

Senior Cam Corron also hauled in the largest Wildcat scoring play of the season thus far - a 71-yard bomb. Corron averaged 36 yards-per-catch on the night, while Blanks added 73 rushing yards. In contrast to the team-oriented first two contests, Game 3 was the Dane Hullibarger show. The senior ran back a punt, converted a pick-six, and caught a receiving touchdown in an incredible feat of tripartite prowess. Hullibarger again was golden in the fourth game with an astounding three interceptions, as the Wildcats finished their first quartet of games by turning the lights out on Maumee, 17-7 at Kazmaier Stadium. Hullibarger also had a 52yard punt return that set up a Pawlak field goal that proved to be the final points. Northview visits Springfield tonight, and then hosts Napoleon the next week before their annual homecoming date with Bowling Green on October 6.

Sport headlines take summer spotlight Patrick Andres sports editor Three sporting storylines seemed to dominate the headlines throughout the summer - the Golden State Warriors’ dominance of the professional basketball world, the sudden influx of home runs in Major League Baseball, and the hotly anticipated light middleweight title bout between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Conor McGregor. The Warriors were simply unstoppable throughout the playoffs, opening the NBA postseason 12-0 as spring turned to summer in Northern California. They ran into the Cavaliers in the Finals and simply demolished them, taking Games 1 and 2 handily, rallying late to win Game 3, and, after a brief hiccup in Game 4, triumphing in the fifth game to bring the Oakland fans a second title in three seasons after a 40 year wait.

mixed martial artist gave Floyd all he could handle for ten rounds before being TKOed. With the win, Mayweather moved ahead of the immortal Rocky Marciano for the record of most boxing wins without a loss (50). In addition, the Pittsburgh Penguins stopped the upstart Nashville Predators in six games to win the Stanley Cup - their second straight. Edinson Volquez threw a no-hitter for the Marlins, and Rich Hill of the Dodgers nearly threw another - losing on a walk-off homer to Josh Harrison of Pittsburgh in the tenth inning. Speaking of the Dodgers, they threatened another revered baseball record - the most wins by a team in a single season. Jordan Spieth had a comeback to win the Open Championship, and Brooks Koepka and Justin Thomas joined him as golf major champions. Perhaps the most impressive record of the sporting summer was set by the Cleveland Indians, who lost on August 24 and then did not duplicate the feat until September 15. The Tribe won

22 games in a row, an American League record, and a record for the longest uninterrupted streak in all of baseball. On September 14, before 30,874 fans at Progressive Field, and in front of the largest viewing audience for a locally-telecast Indians game in sixteen years, the Indians were down to their final strike and their streak was in danger of halting at 21. Down 4-3. The streak overshadowed the Dodgers’ march toward history, and indeed, LA lost 12 consecutive games during the Indians’ run. Suddenly summer began to turn to fall. The haves and have-nots separated themselves in baseball, and the local sports scene bid adieu to two giants: Justin Verlander, legend of multiple Tigers runs through October, was traded to the Astros, and Kyrie Irving, Cavalier NBA Finals hero, was sold to the Celtics. And before you knew it, football was kicking off, with Ohio State and Michigan opening with resounding W’s versus Indiana and Florida. Autumn was here again.

Camden Corron About the athlete:

When did you start playing football? I started playing in fifth grade. Who is your role model and why? My eighth grade coach, John Ross. He taught me how to be the best player and teammate that I can be, along with how to be a gentleman when I’m not playing football. What is your pregame routine? Going to the chapel to pray for clarity and an injury free game for myself and my teammates. After that, I put in my earbuds and focus on my job. What is your favorite memory of NV football? Sophomore year when we ended our losing streak to Southview.

Wide Receiver #8

What will you miss the most about playing football for NV? Being with my second family everyday and having their backs during games.
