estside continues to consistently advance its building technology each year. One of these improvements for the 2020-2021 school year is the new golf center, which is built to replicate practice on a professional course. It will become the newest way for Westsideâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s golf team to get their swings in all year round.

The addition will be known as the Swede center, named after Westside alum Scott Carlsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dad, Merrill â&#x20AC;&#x153;Swedeâ&#x20AC;? Carlson.

Not only was Merrill Carlson known as a good golfer, he was someone who loved what golf stands for. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was informed by Terry Hanna of this concept to build the indoor golf practice facility,â&#x20AC;? Scott Carlson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Terry offered us the opportunity to name this after my father who grew up in the district, Merrill â&#x20AC;&#x153;Swedeâ&#x20AC;? &DUOVRQ DQG ZH ZHUH Ă&#x20AC;DWWHUHG WKDW WKH GLVWULFW WKH VFKRRO DQG WKH [Westside] Foundation would consider naming the facility after my father, so we graciously accepted.â&#x20AC;&#x153; The new Swede center has been taking shape over the past year-and-ahalf and will make use of empty space left in the building by the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expansion completed in 2000. Westside foundation development director Terry Hanna said that the area was used for various purposes, but nothing worked for the space.

Hanna said the idea was brought to the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attention from the golf team and their family members. Their goal was to have an indoor practice space to use.

According to Hanna, golf is one of the only sports that lacks a dedicated practice space at Westside High School, and the team was determined to change that.

Before the idea could get off the ground, a group of patrons would have to be willing to donate to the project. According to Hanna, the community response was promising, as the interest and excitement of the construction was high.

According to Hanna, 47 donors agreed to support the project, including alumni, district members, friends of the Westside community and golf program.

Hanna said the Swede center would be an undeniable achievement for the school. It will become a unique addition that is unlike anything across the country at a high school level. According to Hanna, Westside was nationally recognized for the recent welding expansion, and with the magnitude of this project, it may be possible to be recognized again. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The golf training center will not only be a valuable tool for our competitive golfers,â&#x20AC;? said Hanna. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has great potential to be an incredible resource for all of our learners.â&#x20AC;?

This project will mark a new era of opportunities for all prospective golf players within the community and will greatly impact the collective Westside golf team.

The Westside golf team currently commutes to nearby courses for after school practice, mainly hitting at Westwood and Elmwood and occasionally practicing at Tiburon or Miracle Hills according to senior Portia Lenczowski, a Westside golf team member. She said that this can take time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We usually start practice [around] 3:30 to 3:45, because it takes everybody [awhile] to get over to where weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re practicing and change before we can begin practicing ,â&#x20AC;? Lenczowski said.

Westside golf coach Barry Glanzer said that the team members are responsible for helping each other with rides and feels the commute doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hurt them.

Both Glanzer and Lenczowski said the new Swede center will give the team the opportunity for year-long practice, as well as preventing canceled practices due to weather conditions. According to Lenczowski, the team will be able to swing anytime throughout the year and wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to halt practice when winter weather takes over.

According to Hanna, when completed, users can expect the simulation of different courses from around the world, as well as a putting and chipping area to practice on the greens. The center will be equipped with an additional hitting area, making use of a net system. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Short game is something I have been working really hard on right now,â&#x20AC;? Lenczowski said.

Lenczoswi said she is looking forward to the dedicated putting and chipping area for this reason.

There have been donations made to purchase equipment for younger players and plans for the Swede center to open to Westsideâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s elementary students. According to Hanna, this will give young kids the opportunity to learn the game of golf. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just starting to learn the game of golf or KDYH SOD\HG IRU ÂżIW\ \HDUV ´ VDLG +DQQD Âł7KH VLPXODWRU FDQ EH XVHG IRU whatever skill level the golfer is.â&#x20AC;?

With this intact, Glanzer anticipates many years of improvement for the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s youngest members, as the simulator will become an easy access source to consistent training. Lenczowski said she also hopes to improve KHU JDPH GXULQJ KHU ÂżQDO \HDU RQ WKH WHDP DQG EHOLHYHV WKH VLPXODWRU ZLOO do the job.

The team is looking forward to beginning practicing in the Swede FHQWHU ZKLFK LV H[SHFWHG WR EH ÂżQLVKHG E\ ODWH 2FWREHU DFFRUGLQJ WR Hanna. They are happy and grateful for the space that was used and the PRQH\ WKDW ZDV JLYHQ WR EHQHÂżW WKHP ZLWK WKLV SURMHFW â&#x20AC;&#x153;It makes us feel pretty good because golf has never really been observed in the past,â&#x20AC;? said Lenczowski. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It means they believe in us and our future as a team.â&#x20AC;?

The center will be a primary practice place for the golf team, but also a place for the community to learn and grow the game. Âł, XQGHUVWDQG WKDW PDQ\ RWKHUV ZLOO EH DEOH WR HQMR\ WKLV EHQHÂżW ´ VDLG Glanzer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereby growing the game of golf.â&#x20AC;?

Editorial Prior Review Hurts Westside Journalism A

t the start of this school year, District 66 administration made the decision to enforce school board policy 5470 and enact mandatory prior review of all studentrun publications. This means that all content produced by students in Westside Journalism must be reviewed by school administration before it is published. This policy has completely compromised the way Westside Journalism operates and is only making it PRUH GLIÂżFXOW IRU VWXGHQWV WR SXEOLVK DQG deterring them from honestly addressing sensitive topics.

According to District 66 School Board Interim President Adam Yale, in a statement made through email, the school board holds the journalism department and the work it does in high regard. He said that despite that, the school board has an obligation to protect the District. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We respect Westside Journalism and the quality and rigor of its publications,â&#x20AC;? Yale said via email response. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That said, if/when our publications run something provocative or improper, it is the reputation of the District on the line, and therefore, we feel it is proper to retain the right of prior review.â&#x20AC;?

You cannot respect the journalism department if you completely disregard the way that our program operates. Westside Journalism prides itself on being a completely student-run program. Student editors run class and plan what to cover for their publication.

They used to have complete control over what and when things are published before this policy. Libby Seline, Westside Class of 2017, is currently studying journalism at University of Nebraska, Lincoln. She was an Editor-inChief of the Lance during her senior year and said that she credits her experiences in journalism at Westside in deciding to go into it for her career. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really appreciated not being restricted by anything or not having the administration be able to look over what we were doing because with that we â&#x20AC;Ś explored topics like [diversity, drugs and mental health],â&#x20AC;? Seline said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Westside Journalism was the place where I was able to fall in love [with journalism] and eventually grow that into a career.â&#x20AC;?

Throughout the history of Westside

journalism, we have won nine sweepstakes state championships, including the last two years, as well as countless individual state FKDPSLRQVKLSV 7KH GLVWULFW UHDSV WKH EHQHÂżWV and prestige of our competition wins and yet implements policies that disrespect us.

It is understandable that the administration would like to be more cognizant of what is published, especially in the political and social climate we are living in, but they approached this issue in the completely wrong way. If they would have reached out openly to student editors to create a dialogue about topics like Covid-19, the election and the Black Lives Matter movement, which according to Bobby Truhe, a school law attorney that the district consulted, were a part of implementing this policy, we would have been very receptive to that discussion. We happily wouldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve given

"

[journalists are] meant to bring up issues that are hard to talk about and so if the administration is watching over your every move, you can't do that.

-Westside ALumnus libby seline

them a heads up on any story containing controversial matters such as these.

Instead, they met with our advisers and informed them of this policy change, leaving them to be the unfair middlemen in what shouldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been a discussion between those who run the publications and those who had an issue with whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s being published.

Prior review seems to be a step in the direction of censorship. Why would they want to review all content if they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to stop any of it from being published?

Superintendent Dr. Mike Lucas said, in a statement made through email, that restraint would be extremely rare. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As I look back at the hundreds, if not thousands, of submissions created by our amazing student-run journalism department last year, I can only think of one article

that would have been redirected had our instructors, students, and journalism program been following the policy weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had in place since 2006,â&#x20AC;? Lucas said via email response.

According to Lucas, it was an article regarding a school program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The article I am referencing was written late last October or early November and featured a classroom-business partnership that had not been approved and violated another district policy,â&#x20AC;? Lucas said via email response.

Whether this wouldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been the only content restrained or not, at the moment, the actual act of prior restraint is not a problem.

The problem is that this new system that has been put in place creates a constant fear of our content being restricted from publishing. The prior review policy prevents students from doing their best work based on how they think administration will react. According to Seline, policies like this can cause journalists to not tackle tough topics. â&#x20AC;&#x153;[Journalists are] meant to be the watchdog,â&#x20AC;? Seline said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re meant to bring up issues that are hard to talk about and so if the administration is watching over your every move, you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do that and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really unfortunate because the students need a voice.â&#x20AC;?

Prior review affects all of our publications in a different way. For Westside Wired, and other publications which post their content on the website, it slows down the process of publishing. For publications that print, such as The Lance, it not only slows us down which creates a domino effect of pushing back publishing by several days, but also if something were to be restricted from publishing, we would have to readjust the whole issue.

This prior review policy is unfair to members of Westside Student Journalism.

We have worked for years successfully as student-run publications and this not only prevents us from doing our best work but is disrespectful towards the work that we do. We implore District 66 Administrators to rethink the implementation of prior review and give full control back to student editors.

staying hands on in a hands off time a look at interactive classes during a pandemic hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no question that the COVID-19 Pandemic has caused our entire school to drastically change and adapt quickly, but certain classes have had to adjust much more than others. Classes that require more hands-on work, ones that are mainly performance or team-based, and courses that require lots of materials and equipment have all been forced to greatly alter much of their plans for the 2020-2021 school year.

A class that has been particularly affected by this pandemic is pottery. Being largely material based, getting supplies to students was one of the biggest concerns at the beginning of the year. According to pottery instructor Amber Tomasek, the art teachers were eventually able WR ÂżJXUH RXW D V\VWHP WR JHW supplies to students and make sure that materials were sanitized and safe for use. Tomasek stated that each student enrolled in pottery was given a kit that they could bring to and

from school and a kit that could be left on the table.

Accommodating at-home students presented a challenge as well. Tomasek said that the best way for her to get information to at-home students was to record videos with the necessary content, as well as to conduct meetings during class. â&#x20AC;&#x153;[We are] webexing [at the] same time as weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in class, for demonstrations and presentations and things like that, so theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting what their classmates here are getting,â&#x20AC;? said Tomasek.

For some students enrolled in welding, not only did their method of learning change, but even the class altogether, according to Bombac. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The hard part that we have in this department are our classes that are like welding, woods, that have that handson performance-based piece,â&#x20AC;?

Bombac said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done with those students that have decided to stay online is weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve removed them out of our regular course because thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no way theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to get that hands-on portion.â&#x20AC;?

Another class that involves a huge amount of groupbased work, which was greatly impacted, was band.

Adjusting to regulations and keeping students safe is a tedious task, according to band director Thomas Krueger. He now is adapting and working to implement social distancing guidelines into his classroom. Social distancing and de-densifying the classroom has been a top priority for him. In the band room, he tries to maintain a six-foot distance between each student, the distance recommended by the CDC. Taking the different sections of the band in small groups to rehearse has been one of the best solutions for Krueger. He stated that playing an instrument, and a wind or brass instrument at that, can be a dangerous thing to do at this time. Blowing into the mouthpiece of an instrument can release aerosols into the air, which is the main thing that masks are trying to prevent.

The implementation of the school-wide mask mandate was another question for the band, because of the way that the instruments are played. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our masks that we have for band have a slit in them so that they can pull apart and open up so that you can insert a mouthpiece and then the mask condenses down on the mouthpiece, so it makes it so all the kids are still able to play their instruments with a mask on,â&#x20AC;? Krueger said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We also have bell covers for most instruments, as well, where itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basically a mask for their instrument to help prevent any aerosols from coming out of their instrument as well. â&#x20AC;?

According to Krueger, the greatest challenge was WKDW WKH FODVV E\ GHÂżQLWLRQ LV VXFK D SHUIRUPDQFH based class, and they were unable to practice altogether. The main focus of band is to perform as a group, and with some students being at home, and others being at school, that was a big problem. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s impossible to get that same type of feeling that we have as a group and as a team to perform,â&#x20AC;? Krueger said.

learning with covid ince the spring of 2020, the Westside District has had to change its normal procedures to accommodate the recommendations of the CDC during the COVID-19 outbreak. Westside Middle School has taken precautions such as wearing masks, separating students during lunch, and two separate passing periods. According to WMS Principal, Kimberly Eymann, these restrictions have affected both the students and staff. â&#x20AC;&#x153; [The restrictions] have been going really well and the kids have been awesome,â&#x20AC;? Eymann said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Going into this, I thought the biggest challenge was going to be the face mask, but it hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been.â&#x20AC;?

According to Eymann, she was worried about how the students would handle the new restrictions. But, students are adapting well to these new challenges. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We took it really slow,â&#x20AC;? Eymann said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It kind of allowed for students his teaching experience through COVID-19 with a line from the show. and staff to get adjusted and kind of iron out any kinks we needed to iron out.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;My teaching time through COVID-19 can easily be interpreted by the wise intellect Claire Veylupek is an eighth-grader who goes to WMS. She said sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been of a man named Michael Scott: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Sometimes Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll start a sentence and I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even know adapting to the new restrictions relatively well and thinks that WMS ZKHUH LWÂśV JRLQJ , MXVW KRSH , ÂżQG it along the way,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;,â&#x20AC;? Campbell said. has done well to help her and keep the students of WMS safe. Âł7KH UHVWULFWLRQV DUH GHÂżQLWHO\ YHU\ VWULFW DQG ,ÂśP not very used to having school,â&#x20AC;? Veylupek said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most of us have been able to adapt to wearing masks.â&#x20AC;?

Veylupek said the school has been taking the necessary precautions and has been handling the COVID-19 situation very well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Learning during COVID-19 has been slow but that gives time for people who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand to catch up,â&#x20AC;?

Veylupek said.

Not only have students of Westside been affected by the new restrictions, but their parents have as well.

Westside parent Jamie Meyerson has three kids: Ainsley Meyerson (sophomore), Aiden Meyerson HLJKWK JUDGH DQG $XGUH\ 0H\HUVRQ ÂżIWK JUDGH -DPLH Meyerson said she feels safe sending her kids to school, but WKDW VKH KDG WR PDNH VDFULÂżFHV RI KHU WLPH WR KHOS KHU NLGV DW KRPH â&#x20AC;&#x153;I only work one day a week, but I had to adjust the hours,â&#x20AC;? Meyerson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Other than that, since I am home with them, it just is more adjusting appointments and things like that.â&#x20AC;?

According to Meyerson, the hardest part for her isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t anything to do with her schedule. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the hardest thing is watching my kids get frustrated about online school,â&#x20AC;? Meyerson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was hard for her to be on a screen all day.â&#x20AC;?

Sixth-grade instructor Jason Campbell said the masks have been a struggle for his students, and he found that his students have been acting differently with them. The kids who tend to be quieter are even more so with masks.

Along with masks, Campbell expressed that the students canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work as easily in groups and each table has plexiglass to separate the students. â&#x20AC;&#x153;[The restrictions] almost takes the fun out of everything because you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be your normal self,â&#x20AC;?

Campbell said.

Campbell said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been having to plan way more ahead and now shares his lesson plans with parents and online students. He said he would usually only share them with the other sixth-grade teacher. Campbell said he loves to joke DURXQG DQG KDYH IXQ ZLWK KLV VWXGHQWV EXW WKLV KDV EHHQ PRUH GLIÂżFXOW ZLWK PDVNV â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a facial expression guy, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sarcastic, but people understand my sarcasm because Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have a smirk on my face,â&#x20AC;? Campbell said.â&#x20AC;&#x153;I found itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s harder to get the kids to understand me because they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see my face theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re taking me a lot more serious than usual.â&#x20AC;?
