A guardian angel shines with us Riley Runnells co-editor in chief
LAMMIE
LENDING A HAND is senior Angel Simon, MedTech student who helped save a life in plain sight, showing that knowledge in the classroom can be utilized in real-life situations.
They say angels watch over us to keep us safe, but little did we know we have a guardian Angel right here at Northview. Senior Angel Simon, a proud Med Tech student, was working at her job as a server at Bob Evans when a family of seven came in for dinner. Simon noticed that a woman in the family needed a little extra help, so she kept a close eye on her. During her shift she heard chaos ensue at the table, so she ran over to see what was going on. Come to find out, the woman was choking, and Simon only had a few moments to save her. Simon, being a Med Tech student, has the proper training for these situations, and was able to identify herself as a first responder. The knowledge she gained from the classroom came
to the aid of this family. The family stepped back and allowed Simon to help, she then performed the Heimlich maneuver. To do this, you encircle your arms around the person’s waist above their navel, and perform abdominal thrusts. After three times, the woman stopped choking and she was able to breathe again. “I am so glad I was there,” Simon said. “It was a big moment for me, and all of my training led up to it.” For Simon, this was something she had been trained to do, so it wasn’t out of the ordinary. But for this family, Simon’s actions saved this woman’s life. “I’m so glad I was able to do something so meaningful and use my Med Tech experience in the real world. This experience reminds me how excited I am to help people for the rest of my life,” Simon said.
minutes long. Both competitions took place at BGSU. Business and Med Tech students had three weeks to prepare their presentations. Students paired up in a group of two to four students for their presentations. “BPA was a great experience because it helped me improve my presentation skills and get a feel for what a career in business is like,” junior Kaitlyn Langenderfer said. “My competition was in the pathophysiology category. It was a really fun day to spend at UT. It’s really cool to go explore their campus for a day and learn more about medical technologies,” senior Katie Woodbury said. In BPA events, the way rankings went were based on a group of students that were in a certain event that were split into mini “pods,” where each would compete against the other. This data ended up getting pooled togeth-
er to help create the first through sixth rankings on the podium at the end of the day. iMedia students didn’t place but competed in categories chosen by the students that related to the class, such as video production, news broadcast, web design, and desktop publishing. The news broadcast contest allowed students to choose the news stories while the video production team had to make a video on the topic of sleep, according to iMedia teacher Tami Blue. Students presented their work and explained their work flow to judges from within the interactive media industry. The top two placing teams and individuals moved on to state contest in Columbus. The HOSA state conference is in Columbus on April 10 and 11; BPA will be held in Columbus as well on March 8, with the award ceremony the day after on March 9.

Students involved in Business and Med Tech were given the opportunity to compete in competitions this past month to showcase their knowledge. Med Tech students competed at HOSA, which stands for
Health Occupations of America, while Business Tech students competed at BPA the week before. BPA stands for Business Professionals of America. Competitors went in front of a judge and presented information on the topic that they had been assigned. Presentations were required to be a minimum of ten
MedTech touches on real life Kaushy Gera staff writer
Students don’t usually get a chance to get out of the school day and the rather monotonous classes and daily schedule, but an opportunity in MedTech really shows that seeing it is believing it. These future representatives of the medical field, students in the MedTech career tech pathway, were able to go on a field trip known as the Cadaver Lab on February 15. The students were divided into two groups to see two different attractions, a museum on plasticity and a cadaver lab. MedTech students were able to visit a lab with cadavers and were able to investigate the body and its functions. The students were able to feel organs including a liver, kidney, heart, lung, and brain. At the plasticity museum, students could interact with the module, touching different buttons to hear about different parts of the body and reviewing knowledge from the classroom. “People can go to study the human body on real cadavers and get an inside look, literally. When I went, I learned so much from what I saw even though the smell was unpleasant,” senior MedTech student Katie Woodbury said. MedTech is one of the many career tech options that students pick during sophomore year, it gives them specialized classes and training for the pathway in the years after high school graduation. MedTech students have had other opportunities to participate in other events like HOSA (Health Students of America). Both seniors and juniors can participate in the event, and the group is known to do well and advance to States and even to Nationals.

Estar Cohen wins Young Jazz Composer award Korrin Zollweg
opinions editor
Estar Cohen, a 2011 Northview graduate, member of the choir, orchestra, and a Features editor of The Student Prints was chosen out of many applicants to receive two renowned awards for her excellent teachings and work. But how did she get this far? Through many years of schooling and practicing. “Estar was always a very gifted musician and creative sole. She was very involved in our vo-
cal program as well as being in the orchestra for all four years. Estar always loved and had a passion for jazz music from such a young age. This really set her apart from her other classmates. I am thrilled and proud of all the accomplishments she has made and excited to see what she does next,” Orchestra Teacher Pam Theil said. Since her graduation from NV seven years ago, Cohen has travelled across the Midwest performing and receiving her education in major cities like
New York and Chicago. Some of her greatest performances after graduation include New York City’s Rockwood Music Hall, Earthwork Harvest Gathering, the Toledo Museum of Art, Ann Arbor’s Edgefest at Kerrytown Concert House, and Michigan’s River Street Anthology Project. Cohen now lives in Ypsilanti, MI. There she is a vocalist, lyricist, composer, and educator. Estar attended the University of Toledo and obtained a Bachelor of Music in Jazz Performance. While in college, she re-
ogy labs for students, but these require permission from the teacher. NV also has two 3D printers. In classes like engineering, students use these to create rocket parts and small projects. Engineering teacher Ryan Reed also has a wood workshop but special training and supervision must be taken before entering the lab. NV will also be finishing up the Think Tank in late spring and early next school year. There, students will be able to use the space for presentations, research, and creative innovations. The public library has a huge selection of technology for the public to use. In addition to everything listed above (minus personal Chromebooks), they have aMake U Studio for VHS to DVD Conversion, iPAD Kits, 20 GoPro Cameras, Coding les-
sons, and Studio space for audio/ video creation and editing (specifically for vocal recording and podcasts). The Studio has everything you could need for recording and the editing for movies and sound. The process for reserving their 3D printer or Laser Engraver is very similar. From your phone or personal computer, you can reserve audiobooks and ebooks. For artists, they have a Wacom art tablet, an Inovart Lightbox and the Adobe Creative cloud. They also have tax software if you need free advice on how to do taxes. If you have a project you want to work on, don’t let a lack of resources stop you. There are many options for thinking outside the box to create projects.
Technology benefiting school Kathryn Mertens graphics editor
Technology is all around us. All students have Chromebooks and now they have access to the printer in the library, but many students do not know what else they have free access to locally. Northview, Southview and the Public Library have a plethora of resources available to everyone. The Media Center has both color printers and black and white printers available for student use. If the project is for school, it is free to print. You can also print personal projects and papers for a small fee. If you were to go to an office supply store, color pages run at about 50¢ per page, but the library only charges 25¢ per color page. NV also has other technol-
corded her first album “Waiting for Dawn.” Since then, she has worked with renowned musicians including Jon Hendricks, Peter Eldridge, Tad Weed, Pete Siers, David Bixler, Vinny Golia, and Ken Filiano, as well as others. In 2014, Cohen received an amazing opportunity in her career. Cohen was given the Craig’s Keyboard Student Composer Award for her original vocal ensemble composition, “The Day The Government Shut Down.” Then later in 2015, she was chosen as a finalist in the Herb Alpert Young Jazz Composer Awards. “It is both gratifying and surprising to be recognized for my original work by ASCAP and
the Herb Alpert artist panel. An award like this is motivating, but also a reminder of how important resilience is in art. My advice to other young artists is to keep working to cultivate your unique voice. You will likely face plenty of rejection throughout your journey, but you never know who you might reach with your art,” Cohen said. Now, as an educator, Cohen has taught songwriting with Michigan label Earthwork Music in partnership with the non-profit SEEDS, and is a private music instructor in the Ann Arbor area. Cohen continues to make great achievements in her life and will continue doing what she loves.
News happening now Emily Martinez staff writer
News is happening all over the world. School shootings, the Olympics, and so much more. One of the biggest news stories of February is the Olympics. This year the Olympics were held in Pyeongchang, South Korea. The Winter Olympics happens every four years. This year is a very important year because North Korea decided to send a team to compete against the rest of the world’s teams. This is a big step for the world because North Korea is starting to work with South Korea and be peaceful so
this could lead to North Korea being a more peaceful country. The US came in fourth place overall. South Florida recently had a school shooting where 17 people were killed. This is the 18th school shooting this year, according to CNN news. The shooter was 19 year old Nikolas Cruz. His father died when he was young and his mother recently died from the flu. This school shooting has created lots of talk of the need for new gun laws. Protests have been planned to promote the creation of new gun laws including a march in Washington called the March For Our Lives on March 24.

Mock Trial faces competition by Max Kelso Many can herald the weird as fiction, but is it really? In the spirit of Mulder and Scully of the X-Files, this article and others like it, will investigate the odd, strange, and sometimes seemingly supernatural events that occur almost every day across the globe, and even in our own backyard. In this file, we will find out more about the fireball that flew over Detroit on January 17, a video released by the Pentagon with a startling subject, and a buried treasure linked to a man's death in Yellowstone National Park. On January 17 a fireball lit up the sky over northwest Detroit, causing panic and confusion. Was it a bizarre meteorological event? Was it a plane or a government ship crashing and on fire? Or was it aliens? Despite all the rumors the local weather stations debunked the fact that it was a weather event. No crash site was found and no planes or other aircraft had gone off the route or were reported missing. So was it aliens? Unfortunately for UFO hunters, no. it turned out to be a meteor flying low in the atmosphere and close enough to the ground to cause a magnitude 2.0 earthquake, according to Nasa and local seismograph stations. The meteor lit up the sky so much that it turned night to day and was reported to be seen from areas in Illinois, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Missouri and Ontario, Canada. According to NASA, it is a very rare event for one to be sighted over Michigan. Let's hope the next one is a UFO because I want to believe. Another strange occurrence was a video released by the Pentagon, of all places. The video is a part of a thermal view from one of two United States
fighter jets going on a routine flight. One of the pilots can be quoted as saying, “How is that thing going against the headwind? It must be fast as heck, and it's not ours.” This is confirmation for many that UFOs and aliens are real. But the Pentagon states that it might have just been an anomaly or a friendly aircraft. Others aren't so sure. The craft was going extremely fast and never answered when hailed by the pilots. To, check it out for yourself, look up, “Pentagon released possible UFO video” Now our final story, which is more depressing and has a sadder theme. On June 9, 2017, rangers found 53-year-old missing hiker John Murphy in a part of Yellowstone National Park. Unfortunately, they found him at the bottom of a 500-foot drop, dead. He now joins the list of three other dead hikers linked in the search for a treasure worth just over $2 million in jewels and coins. The eccentric billionaire Forrest Fenn claims to have placed a treasure somewhere in the rocky mountains, having spread various clues and a poem supposedly revealing its location, according to The Federal and Canadian governments. As a result of the death, Mr. Fenn released a statement and other clues, including the fact that where Murphy died is not in the area of where the treasure is supposed to be located. Now that more people join the search to get rich, more may perish from poor planning and unfortunate accidents. What bizarre stories shall be in the next maX-Files? That is for me to write and for you to find out. And always remember, the truth is out there.
Grace Schlageter staff writer Students had the opportunity to compete in Mock Trial this year for the first time. Mock Trial gives high school students a chance to learn and experience what being a lawyer entails by presenting a case that they studied in court. “It’s fun to have the real life experience of creating an entire case and presenting it in court,” junior Sheridan Scott said. Students were given a fictional court case to study, State of Buckeye vs. Adam Smith, presented by The Ohio Center of Law Related Education. Each team is made up of two attorneys, two witnesses, and a bailiff/timekeeper, playing Plaintiff and Defense sides of the case. “Mock Trial team is a really unique experience and I really enjoy the challenge that comes with the competitions we are in,” senior Joey Okeke said.
PHOTO COURTESY OF ELIZABETH RAUSCHER THE MOCK TRIAL team faces some competition at the Mock Trial District Competition. The group poses for a quick photo in between their competitive lawyer training. On January 26, the Northview Mock Trial team was one of ten teams that competed at the 35th Annual Mock Trial District Competition at the Toledo Municipal Court in downtown Toledo. “These students deserve a
lot of credit for their willingness to seek out new challenges and put themselves in academically challenging situations. They have represented Northview very well, and I could not be prouder of them,” said Assistant Coach John Schlageter.
Science Olympiad “Does Good” Kaushy Gera staff writer While some may wince at the thought of taking tests and waking up at 3 in the morning, there is a group who specializes in “doing good” by those standards: the Science Olympiad Team, or SciOly for short. The SciOly group has competitions they go to throughout the winter and spring, where they compete in teams of 15 people for 23 different science-based events, ranging from building to experimenting to remembering random facts on various subjects. The group meets every Tuesday and Friday to practice
and keep up with their events. Chemistry teacher Andy Roth is in charge of this group, but he says the credit goes to the student captains, junior Patrick Andres and seniors AJ Federman, Kiran Kodali, and Grant Lyons. “I love being captain because it’s fun to help people with an activity I love. There are a lot of responsibilities, especially with keeping track of records and such,” said Kodali, a four year participant in the group. “Overall, this year we are doing amazing. Last year, we did very well and this year we are doing even better, achieving similar results among tougher competition.” The team has been setting
records as well because this was the first year the team went to the University of Chicago to compete at an invitational in January. They were able to finish fifth among 40 competitive teams that had come, and this marks the first time that the Northview and Southview teams had combined together to compete at the event. “This group of students has been the strongest by far, from top to bottom,” Roth said. “The team has bonded together in preparing for these different events as well.” At the Centerville Invitational, the Varsity team was able to take sixth.

Serving time while in school Emily Nowak staff writer
All students know that every action we do at this school, has consequences. It’s the cycle; if you mess up, you have a punishment whether it be detention, a demerit, expulsion, etc. However, when it comes to in school versus out of school suspension the rules can get confusing. How do you get one or the other? What are the rules of each one? What are you allowed to do? After looking up what each one is and what the rules and regulations are, let’s just say you would much rather spend your suspension in Northview rather than out of it. Suspension is known as a mandatory leave as a form of punishment and can last anywhere from one day to two weeks. Well, if you have in school suspension, technically you still are on mandatory leave. However, you do this leave at school, but not in your classes.
You sit in a room with the other students who are in the same situation as you, and silently work on homework and other assignments. If you wish to
main difference is that when you are given the in school option and attend at the same times as everyone else, the infraction does not show up on your permanent record. Along with it not going on your permanent record you are allowed to make up work, tests, etc. This will do the least amount of harm to your grades. In out of school suspension you can not make up that work and therefore, it is detrimental to your GPA and education. Considering the circumstances, this way of serving your punishment is generous. While some people may want the option of taking their punishment and serving it at home, the smarter choice would be to serve your time here. Every kid our age do things that we aren’t always the most proud of, next time you mess up you may get the opportunity to do something that will correct your wrong, doing the least harm

rundown
Martha Washington once said, “I have learned from experience that the greater part of our happiness or misery depends upon our dispositions, and not upon our circumstances,” but is that really the case? I was curious to find out if Mrs. Washington was on to something, so I took matters into my own hands. I decided to spend one week keeping a gratitude journal and finding the bright side of every situation that I faced to see if I really became a happier person. My challenge was I couldn’t complain about anything and in my gratitude journal I had to write three things I was grateful for every night. The week started out normally, and the first two days were pretty average. In my journal I wrote things like, “my friends, my parents, my house, my school,” etc. These seem so mundane to me, but are some of the most important things in the world. I found myself trying really hard not to complain about little things that bothered me. As my week progressed, I noticed I wasn’t just being positive for the sake of this experiment, but I felt less of a querulous nature towards the exasperating things in my life. When I had a studentdeemed “useless” assignment, I wasn’t easily deterred, or when I had to do chores around the house, instead of greeting my parents with the usual groan and eye roll, I accepted the task and performed it with a smile on my face. In addition to a naturally brighter disposition, I found that my gratitude journal became more and more fruitful with what I’m thankful for. Instead of just touching on the basics of my big picture life, I focused on smaller things. You don’t have to take my word for it though, you can try it for yourself. Here are three important tips to staying positive and improving your attitude. Ask yourself how you can serve others. Serving others is probably the easiest and most beneficial way to improve your attitude. In a study by The Huffington Post they proved that helping others is a key way to achieving happiness. Using your positive influence to help someone else or do something kind for someone else is not only going to make you feel better, but it will use positive energy to improve someone else’s attitude as well. Cultivate a positive environment. That’s right, hanging out with people who are negative and constantly bringing you down will result in the decline of your attitude as well (shocking). To avoid this, simply surround yourself with people who build you up and are also practicing positivity. Write down what you’re grateful for. This may sound tedious and unrealistic, but if you take the time to write down what you’re grateful for you are simultaneously taking time to think about what makes you happy in your life. Writing it down makes you really appreciate the things that you have, and therefore helping you realize that there are some great positive things in your life. This repetitive and tedious activity will really help improve your attitude. The final rundown: Positivity and a good attitude are not hard to reach. I challenge you to spend a week following these tips to improve your attitude and really being introspective about what you’re grateful for. I not only think you’ll be happier in the week, but I believe you’ll keep the trend going and use the power of positivity to improve for a lifetime.
H2O replaces Turnabout H20 was a splashing success that left everyone wanting to dive in for more. This year, the Turnabout committee decided to make some big changes with the traditional winter dance. For starters, they ditched the name ¨Turnabout¨ and coined the term H20, a play on Homecoming 2.0. To go along with this, the dance had an underwater theme, with live fish as centerpieces and the walls covered in marine life to make the theme come alive. In the past, the dance wasn’t nearly as popular as the fall Homecoming. The goal was for the dance to be more relaxed,
more fun, and the ¨#partyofthesemester¨. Student Council intended for more people to go in groups, and not just specifically dates like Turnabout is typically known for. This led to a pretty large turn out, with lots of students coming with their friends in large groups. The dance also featured a huge lights show brought to students by DJ Scholar up on a stage, sort of giving the room the ¨rave¨ intended feeling. To further the rave feeling, the gym was also cut in half to make the students dance closer together for a more hype feeling. The students were able to submit
a google form with songs they would like to hear, and almost everyone was impressed. ¨The music this year was phenomenal, it was all songs everyone really liked and wanted to hear,¨ sophomore Travis Turner said. The dance had a really nice turnout, something that is not typically reached with the regular Turnabout dance. Overall, Student Council and the H20 committee did a really nice job improving on the traditional Turnabout and creating a night that will be remembered by all who attended. -Lindsey Hubay & Emily Thielen
Online Shopping- y or n? Sitting in commons alone with no homework and no earbuds can, in my opinion, be one of the most boring situations ever. With nothing to do many people, including myself, decide to shop online. Whether is it trying to buy balloons and tablecloths for Student Council, or looking at cute shoes from Dillard’s, you sadly cannot do this while at school. Almost every single shopping website is blocked on the school WiFi. So no matter if you are in class or sitting in commons or study hall students cannot go on any type of shopping website.
I do see the purpose in this. Many website are blocked from students because they are deemed inappropriate. Some are blocked because of inappropriate content while others, like Amazon, are blocked because they could be distracting during school. I understand why teachers and administrators do not want students shopping online during class and therefore block it, but I do not think this is complete necessary. Shopping websites are not inappropriate or offensive, they are simply distracting, and with
the programs teachers have, like HAPARA, they can see what students are doing and prevent them from going on shopping websites during class. I do not believe it is necessary to completely block shopping websites because they are not harmful to look at during commons, lunch, study hall, or the many other down times during a student’s day. Giving students the privilege to shop online will not distract them from their school work, it will just give them something to do in their free time. -Kayla Thielen

AP vs CCP classes It’s that exciting time of year again here at Northview--scheduling. That means deciding not only which classes to take, but at what level. NV offers a variety of class levels: regular, honors, Advanced Placement, and the newest addition, College Credit Plus. Everyone knows the difference between regular and honors classes, but how do AP and CCP classes compare and contrast? Keep in mind they’re both challenging courses; they require more time and effort than regular or honors. If you decide to take these classes, expect more independence in your learning. First of all, AP is a little more rigorous than CCP. At NV, the summer homework and homework throughout the year is more extensive for AP students. AP courses only give you college credits depending on how you score on the nationwide exam in May. The scores you can receive range from one to five; a three and above is a passing score and will get you the credit. On the other hand, the credit coming from a CCP class relies on the final grades you’ve received throughout the entirety of the course. Another thing to remember is that taking the AP exam costs $90, that money will not be refunded if you don’t get a passing score on the exam. A CCP course taken at NV is paid for by the school, so long as you do not exceed nine classes per year. The only time you’d have to pay for the class is if you were to fail. Taking an AP class will be more beneficial to those who want to attend universities out of state or more prestigious schools like Stanford or Harvard. If you plan on going to a college in Ohio, they must accept the CCP credit. But if you go somewhere out of state, make sure to research which colleges take the credit because not all of them will. Despite their differences, there are similarities between the two. AP and CCP classes are weighed the same on the GPA scale. Also, they both offer a way to get ahead of the game and knock out credits needed for college. By taking these classes now, instead of in college, you and your parents can save money on tuition. Overall, each course is a great way to test your academic abilities and prematurely build up your college credits. -Bree Fangman

Benefits of Career Tech
With scheduling season coming to a close it is becoming important for sophomores to pick whether or not they will be participating in a career technology program. The career tech programs offer a wide range of possibilities in a number of fields. The most important aspect of each program is experience. Each career tech offers a unique curriculum to best prepare and inform students on the different job opportunities they will have in the field of their choice. Taking a career tech is a great way to further your interest in a field or see if you are fit for said field. In your career tech you will have many opportunities to get experience and to learn even more first hand. For example, in Business Tech and Engineering you can do internships your senior year to get first hand experience in different work areas. In Education and Training you can shadow or work in a daycare to see how everything is run. “For students interested in becoming a teacher, they learn critical teaching and planning skills to use in their future classroom. Students have the option to earn college credit towards a teaching degree, or they can find
employment at a daycare center after graduating high school,” Education and Training instructor Ryan Eickholt said. Med Tech is another program that offers first hand experience to the medical field and the different jobs it offers. You can shadow at a hospital of your choice and work through the different expectations. You can learn how to change a bed with a patient in it or other patient care techniques. There’s another aspect of experience for Interactive Media, you work with computers and learn how to create different film aspects, along with photoshop, mobile devices, how to apply commercials, and real-world projects. “Students create real life projects like websites, movies, youtube videos, vlog episodes, film school, and community events, edit photos, and create all sorts of media content. We also study film to assist us in making quality films ourselves. These are life skills for this generation,” iMedia teacher Tami Blue said. “This class utilizes the Adobe Creative Cloud suite of software including: Photoshop, Illustrator, Dreamweaver, Premiere, After Effects and more. It
is also available to take at Honors Level.” Another career tech you may have heard about is Cosmetology. In Cos, you learn all the tricks about hair and nails. You can also take part in the salon at NV and learn how to operate your own salon. Or if running your own salon doesn’t sound like your ideal job you also can take your Cosmetology test at the end of your senior year to get your license so you can legally work in another salon. “The most exciting benefit is having the opportunity to obtain a Ohio State Cosmetology License upon taking the examination their senior year. After receiving their licensure, they are employable cosmetologists before graduating high school, and ready to start a professional money-making career for themselves,” said Cosmetology instructor Holly Fair. All in all, NV has many career tech programs to offer you. Each one offering different opportunities and experiences based on which one to choose. If you still aren’t sure you can always talk to your counsellor to try to find the best fit for your future. -Zoey Napierala
“I prefer both so I can use my book in class and the online one at home so that I do not have to carry them.” - Sophomore Megan Mariucci
“I would prefer to have both because I like hard books for in class and online ones for at home to work on homework.” - Junior Kyle Mitchell
“I prefer online books because they are easy to carry around and you can always have them.” - Senior Kia Killstrom

Pick out an outfit that fits the location and has a similar vibe as your friend You could go for something casual like tees and sneakers or get a little fancy and wear a cute dress or skirt Bright colors and patterns are key
step four
Brainstorm different poses so you know what to do when you get there Pinterest is a great place to look for pose ideas Try to find poses that are unique and fun
step five
Grab your camera or phone and head to your location and shoot It is best to take pictures outside during daylight and not later in the day as the sun is about to set Overcast days are actually better than sunny days as the bright light can cause harsh shadows if you are photographing on a sunny day look for shade
tips
1. Candids always turn out to be the favorites, so be yourself and laugh! 2. As for makeup don't go too heavy on the eyes, you want your eyes to look bigger and brighter! 3. It sounds dumb, but practicing poses in the mirror can help, you can see what looks good and what doesn't. 4. Take lots and lots of pictures to ensure you get some good ones 5. Try out different angles with your camera

IEL TH Student Council is on fire with their recent success with H2O as well as their other Student-run events including assemblies and spirit events for the basketball games. School dances at Northview were transformed with the addition of a stage, light show, and overall culture of the dance. The use of the stage made H2O feel more like a concert as opposed to a school dance making it fun whether you were with a date or a group of friends, according to Student Council President Grace Cappellini.
Bringing back the assembly before the dance added to the atmosphere as well. Speaking of assemblies, the Winter Assembly is yet another demonstration of Student Council’s ability to make NV great. Not only did it showcase numerous diverse students, it was thoroughly entertaining for the audience from the beginning to the end. As for spirit, two main events were hosted by the club to encourage students to go to basketball games. One was Tie Dye Tuesday on January 31, and the other was
a Pre-game Pizza Party on February 20. Both of these brought students together and provided them with fun, free opportunities to show off their school spirit, according to Student Council Advisor Tami Blue. “Student Council’s focus is to create a sense of camaraderie at NV in a fun way for students. I think through improving our events this year to make them more interactive and inclusive for all students we have completed this goal and made NV a better place,” Mrs. Blue said.

H20 made it’s splash for the first time at Northview as the new and improved Turnabout. The goal of H20 was to encourage not only the couples to go, but groups of friends as well. This new idea really helped lower stress levels over finding a date for the night. The dance without a doubt was a success, couples and groups of friends joined together to show off their deep sea dance moves and have a whale of a time.

District 1 Contest brings the heat Karen Pan news editor
Musicians are Seni or M once again challenged with the OMEA itali Dalw District One Contest. Instead of soloists and ensembles alla performing a piece in front of a singular judge, Contest requires the entire orchestra or band group to be present. The band contest will be held on March 9; however, last Satjtik y Fo l i L urday, both the Chamber and Concert Orchestras traveled to Perrysburg High School for their competition. Each group e r o om performed three pieces, with the Chamber Orchestra bringing back Beethoven’s “Allegretto” from their fall concert. Soph “Mrs. Thiel definitely prepared us well for Contest. Yes, it was a tough week with technical and frequent bow changes, but getting to the competition and seeing all the judges really made me grow as a confident player,” sophomore Lily Fojtik said. The orchestras and director Pamela Thiel were judged by a panel; each adjudicator giving input and writing comments about each piece. In addition to the performances, orchestra Contest also tests the musicians’ skill of sight reading: a concept in which musicians are given a piece they have never seen to perform with little to no preparation. Directors have only four minutes to speak about the piece (giving fingerings, noticing time, and style changes) before the orchestra has to perform the piece in front of a judge. “Even top players struggle with sight reading, and Contest definitely tests everyone’s music ability however, competitions like these make us a better orchestra,” junior Danny Lee said. Results come out with a rating from one to five, with one being the highest rating. Northview orchestras have consistently kept with the trends of attaining one’s, and this year was no different. Both Concert and Chamber Orchestra received ones for their excellent technical performance and fantastic sight reading.
AJ Federman
About the musician:
How long have you been playing percussion? I have been playing percussion since sixth grade. What is the most memorable song you have performed and why? The best song we played in Marching Band was definitely Spider-Man because of the cool syncopations and funky rhythms. The best song we played in Concert Band was Foundry by John Mackey because it was a Percussion feature that sounded like an actual foundry. What do you like to do in your free time? In my free time I enjoy playing video games and reading books, but if the weather allows, playing football and soccer. What is your favorite memory from being in band? My favorite memory of band is definitely playing for the student section during football games, getting the whole crowd hyped up. The thing I will miss most is playing the quints themselves. Do you have any musical plans for after NV? I don’t plan on majoring in music but I hope to continue my Concert Band skills

2018 Spring Sports Preview Ryan Storey staff writer
The start of spring sports at NV is right around the corner and this has also led to the start up of two spring sports for NV, those being Boys’ and Girls’ Track and Lacrosse. The Boys’ Lacrosse team has been preparing for their season by having drop ins on Tuesday and Thursday for the past three to four weeks working out and getting better to make sure they make the most of their upcoming season. They also had their first practice over the four day President’s weekend. The team is looking to improve off of last year, hoping to win the NLL this coming season, and make a good state tournament run. “I’m excited to get back at it, this season should be a good one and I’m looking forward to it,” junior Kyle Mitchell said.

dium time?. As for Girls Lax, they have been having practices in the gym a few times a week, working on drills and different exercises and making the most of their workouts before the season. Sophomore Mckenzie Miller said, “I’m looking forward to the fun the lacrosse season brings as well as playing games with some of my best friends.” The Kats play their first game at Cats Stadium against Ottawa Hills on March 21 time?. Another spring sport preparing for their season is the Boys’ and Girls’ Track and Field. They have been in the weight room improving on their strength and building up their muscle. After school they have been getting together to run after school and get back into the groove of running everyday to regain their stamina. The team will continue to practice and train over the next few weeks as their season is quickly approaching.

Coach Downing, Hullibarger receive awards for excellence Patrick Andres sports editor This year was undoubtedly one of the finest years in Northview football history. Accordingly, the local gridiron powers-thatbe have taken notice. Coach Doug Downing and senior two-way star Dane Hullibarger are set to receive awards on March 19 from the Toledo Wistert Chapter of the National Football Foundation. Downing will be named Coach of the Year, while Hullibarger will receive Player of the Year recognition. “I’m very honored and excited about the award,” Coach Downing said. “I’m thankful to my players and my assistant coaches.” Coach Downing has
turned around the Wildcat program since taking over. This year, he skippered NV to its second-ever playoff berth, going 8-2, defeating Southview for the third consecutive year, and giving Wadsworth all they could handle before falling in the first round of the playoffs. Hullibarger, meanwhile, garnered All-Ohio accolades at defensive back, and won praise from Coach Downing for his work on and off the field. “I’m very pleased with Dane receiving this award,” Coach Downing said. “He’s obviously an outstanding football player and young man in the academic world.” Coach Downing is hopeful that the success of the 2017 season can carry over into 2018.

PyeongChang Winter Olympics a success Patrick Andres sports editor A brief sport-by-sport overview of the PyeongChang Winter Olympics, the sporting event that captured the attention of a divided world throughout the month of February. Alpine skiing. Austria has dominated, as is tradition, an event named for that nation’s mountain range. The legendary Marcel Hirscher, winner of six World Cup titles, added gold medals in the Giant Slalom and Combined events. Biathlon. This event - an unusual skiing-shooting combination in which the United States has never medaled - was largely
dominated by the Germans, with Laura Dahlmeier leading the charge with medals in the Sprint and Pursuit. Bobsleigh. Jamaica and Nigeria attracted attention by sending representatives to this event, and Canada and Germany did likewise by sharing a gold medal in the Two-Man. Cross Country Skiing. Norway dominated, winning six golds, but the United States mades waves by winning the Women’s Freestyle Team Sprint, beating the Norwegians by nearly three minutes. Curling (UPDATE NEEDED). Canada claimed victory in the Mixed Doubles event, which made its first Olympic appear-
ance. Figure skating (UPDATE NEEDED). Canada ruled the ice by claiming victory in the Team and Ice Dancing events. Yuzuru Hanyu of Japan, one of the greatest male figure skaters of all time, repeated as gold medalist in Men’s Singles. Freestyle skiing. Once again, it was the Great White North dominating: Canada claimed gold in Men’s Moguls, Men’s Ski Cross, and Women’s Halfpipe. The United States picked up a silver in the Men’s Slopestyle. Ice hockey (UPDATE NEEDED). Luge. All four of the gold medals were won by German-
speaking nations. Chris Mazder of the United States won silver in the Men’s Singles. Nordic combined (UPDATE NEEDED). It was another German coronation as Germany and Austria took five of six medals awarded. Short track speed skating. Root, root, root for the home team - this favorite event of the South Koreans was also their gold mine, as the nation picked up wins in both of the 1500 Meter races. Pennsylvanian John Henry Krueger won silver in the 1000 Meters. Skeleton. Great Britain captured three medals in this sliding sport, led by women’s champion Lizzy Yarnold.
Ski jumping. Another event, another area of Norwegian domination, as the country claimed five of 12 medals given out, including the Team Large Hill. Snowboarding. The United States proved its mettle in X Games events by taking four gold medals, including transcendent performances by Shaun White (age 31) and Chloe Kim (age 17) in the Halfpipe. Westlake, Ohio native Red Gerard won the Slopestyle. Speed skating. Speed skating at these Games was draped in Orange - as in, the Orange of the Dutch, who won a whopping six gold medals to lap the field. The United States picked up a bronze in the Team Pursuit.

Broomball team goes 1-4 to start season Korrin Zollweg editor Broomball is one of those sports that does not get enough recognition that it deserves. Yes, Northview does have a broomball team, the Ice Ninjas, and thus my point is made. The season just recently started in mid-February for this club team. They won their first game against Rossford, but unfortunately lost the other four games. “We put a good fight,” freshman Kennedy Vrooman said.
They have played Start, Bowsher (twice), Whitmer, and Rossford. Vrooman was very surprised and excited to score in the Bowsher game. “I thought I hit her (the goalie), then everyone was highfiving me and I realized I made a goal,” Vrooman said. The team may be small, but it is mighty. “Broomball has been such a big part of me since freshman year I love it and it is so much fun. I look forward to the season all year round," junior Sydney Chapetta said. Chapetta also hopes that her team will do better and improve from last year as well. You may be wondering what exactly broomball is as it is not a very
common sport. Broomball is a sport that takes place on an ice rink just like hockey. Players wear special shoes that are made for walking on ice instead of ice skates. They use brooms that are wrapped in duct tape as their “sticks.” The ball is an ordinary small round ball. During the game the objective of the players is to hit the ball into the opposite team’s goal. Easy right? Well when you are running on top of ice with a hard broom it is much
harder than people may think. One fun fact about broomball is that they always play their
games after an ice hockey game takes place. They do this so that the ice is rough and nicked up instead of being smooth and wet right after a zamboni goes over it. They practice two days a week in the gym at McCord in fluffy socks to mimic the slippery ice. Since they have to play their games right after hockey games, this makes their game times much later at night than an average sports game. The normal time for a game is around 11p.m. Go bundle up in your puffy coat and grab some gloves to head out and watch the broomball team. Their next game is Saturday at 11:30pm against the Bowsher Ice Queens.
“Broomball has been such a big part of me since freshman year I love it and it is so much fun! I look forward too the season all year round!” -Junior Sydney Chapetta
Maizy & David Crandall About the athletes:
Who do you think has more skill level on the ice? David: Definitely Maizy Maizy: Definitely David Who is the most competitive between the two of you? David: Maizy by a long run Maizy: Me...I hate losing Has playing this year together brought you closer? David: Yeah, we spend more time together and see each other all the time Maizy: For sure, I spend time with David on the ice and at home so we have a lot of bonding Describe each other in 3 words David: She’s smart, dedicated, and tough Maizy: He’s driven, genuine, and smart
Left Wing/Center #5,13
What will you miss the most about playing with each other? David: I’ll really miss always having my sister there for me Maizy: It’s a completely different feeling playing and competing with a sibling and I’m going to really miss that a lot
