National dance resultsby Ebbe King

The first weekend of May, dancers Ebbe King, Ashlan Ward, and Emma Tolman travelled to Farmington, Utah to compete in the America on Stage National competition. Both King and Ward competed with solos. King received a first place with her contemporary solo. Ward received two first places, and one second place (which could’ve have rounded to a first place). Ward also received high gold in all three solos and qualified for the All American award for the second consecutive year. All three high school dancers also competed in three team routines. For those of you who don’t do dance, three routines take A LOT of hard work and time! Extreme Project, the team all three dancers are on, placed first in all three dances. The dancers competed in the intermediate hip hop, contempo-rary, and open division. In all three divisions, the team competed against at least five other teams. The team also took a high gold award with their pom routine “Move”. Wish these dancers congrats for their big wins at nationals. Also, make sure to come to the Spring Recital May 24th.

State solos go well

Congratulations to junior Ellie Walker and freshman Emma Tol-man who placed at the State Solo competition May 4 in Pocatello. They both placed in the top 10 with Walker 9th and Tolman 6th among singers from all sized schools from across the state. “Hard work and perserverence pay off. If you set your goals high and work for them, you can achieve them. Tori is a great teacher!”

Animal rights awareness weekby Angela Hayden

The animal rights group In Defense of Animals established Animal Rights Awareness Week in 1999 to raise awareness of treating animals, be they pets, farm animals, wildlife, or med-ical research/testing animals, humanely. From puppy mills to labs to circuses, animals should be respected and cared for, but that’s not always the case. Human demand for land has caused loss of habitat and has led to extinction or endangerment of wild animals. Although it isn’t always talked about, animals provide companionship and pollinate the food that humans eat. Humans depend on animals but don’t realize it half of the time; therefore, they deserve compassionate treatment. Animal Rights Awareness Week is observed June 17-23.

People observe Animal Rights Awareness Week by starting a conversation on animal abuse, by volun-teering for or donating to an animal charity, or by reporting animal cruelty. They may also decide to make a lifestyle switch, such as buying free-range animal products or cruelty-free products, fostering a pet, adopting a pet rather than buying one in a shop, not buying fur products, or becoming vegetarian/vegan.

FFA updateby Riata Chandler

First things first: A major congratulations to your Weiser FFA Chapter Officer Team: Kelsi Marvin (President), Riata Chandler (Vice Pres-ident), Lacie Willet (Secretary), Grace Soulen (Treasurer), Bentley Weldon (Reporter), Kellie Peterson (Sentinel), Emily Mounts (Student Advisor), and Madelyn Erickson (Historian). I speak for the entire chapter when I say that we can’t wait to see what you will accomplish next year.

Speaking of accomplishments, teams have been competing and studying like crazy in preparation for State CDE’s in Moscow, Idaho. This event will take place June 4-7 on the University of Idaho campus. This is going to be a great trip during which students will be encouraged to go outside their comfort zones to become the leaders they all have to poten-tial to become. There will also be plenty of opportunities for FFA members to have fun with a possible whitewater rafting trip… (verification, still pending).

Students participating in the Washington County Fair are also working with their animals and projects in anticipation of showing them this July/August. HaRlie Mackay, Faith Mink, Rachel Gallagher, and Libbie Rynearson are also rep-resenting Weiser at the Washington Leadership Conference this summer in Washington DC. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for these girls, and we look forward to hearing all about it when they return.

As the school year wraps up, there will be an End of the Year activity that all active FFA members are welcome to attend; more information on this is coming soon. Weiser FFA looks forward to a great summer and a wonderful next year as they will be attending National Convention in Indianapolis, Indiana and traveling to Nashville, Tennessee. This is an amazing event, and all students who want to go need to have told Ms. Chaney by May 10th. As always, if you have any questions, your Chapter Officers would be more than happy to answer them. On behalf of the Weiser FFA Chapter, have a GREAT summer!

National student safety monthby Jessica Limon

National Student Safety Month is an annual campaign to encourage safe lifestyle. Each week in June is dedicated to a common theme or cause; for example, road safety, bike safety, or internet safety. Injuries are the leading cause of death for Americans ages 1-44. There are many things that people can do to stay safe and to prevent injuries. The goal is ultimately to eradicate all forms of school violence, such as shootings, bullying, dating violence, vandalism, gang activity, and catastrophic events such as school mass murder. School safety is linked to improved student and school outcomes. In particular, emotional and physical safety in school are related to academic performance. At the same time, students who are victims of physical or emotional harassment or who are involved in the sale or use of illegal substances on school grounds are at risk for poor attendance, course failure, and dropout. School safety is defined as schools and school-related activities in which students are safe from violence, bullying, harassment, and substance use.

Moscow, Russia plane fireby Kelvin Price

While there have been various plane crashes and plane achieve-ments lately, a recent crash in Russia is much worse than others. Because of the aeroplane’s malfunctions, the plane was forced to land shortly after takeoff. Once the plane landed, the engines caught fire and 41 people died. Even though the staff aboard were able to evacuate the plane in 55 seconds, not everyone made it. There were a total of 72 people aboard the plane. Of the 37 survivors, five have been hospitalized. Families who were affected by the crash will receive various amounts of money.

June is national camping monthby Angela Hayden

Camping is a hobby that has been around since the 1800s when it was popularized by Thomas Hiram, who grew up traveling on the Oregon Trail. National Camping Month has been around since the 1970s, and, as of 2019, the National Park Service’s 100th anniversary will be cel-ebrated alongside it.

With Father’s Day and summer coming up, camping is on people’s minds. There’s no right way to camp; going to a national park with an RV, picking a spot and setting up camp, or setting a pop-up tent in one’s backyard are ways to celebrate the holiday. Even scouting, renting a cabin, or hiking a trail count. Although camping is an opportunity to unplug, people use #NationalCampingMonth on social media.

Camping is beneficial. It helps to develop leadership, re-sponsibility, an active lifestyle, and a love of discovery and nature. There are several packing checklists and campsite recipes online, as well as camping activity ideas. Popular national parks are Yosemite (CA), Port Angeles (WA), Moab (UT), Yellowstone (ID, MT, WY), and Northville (MI). Campgrounds in Idaho include Basin Creek Campground (Stanley, ID), Farragut State Park (Athol, ID), Boundary Campground (Sun Valley, ID), Black Rock Campground (Idaho City, ID), Ponderosa State Park (McCall, ID), Mann Creek State Park (Weiser, ID), Henry’s Lake State Park (Island Park, ID), Hell’s Gate State Park (Lewiston, ID), and the Hot Springs area.

National drive-in movie dayby Ariadne Perez

National drive-in movie day is ob-served annually on June 6. Richard Hollingshead Jr., from Camden, NJ, is the creator of the drive-in theater. His first drive-in opened in New Jersey June 6, 1933. The screen was 40 feet by 50 feet, and there were slots for 400 cars. “Wife Beware” was the first film shown there. The idea caught on quickly, and drive-ins began to pop up in other areas. By the late 1950’s, there were 4,000 drive-ins across the United States. In celebration of this wonder-ful invention, go to Parma and see a movie in an old-fashioned theater!

World blood donor day 2019by Angela Hayden

There is always a need for blood, both globally and nationally. Al-though universal access to safe blood isn’t even close to being achieved, high-income countries make up 50% of annual blood donations globally. The World Health Organization (WHO) estab-lished World Blood Donor Day in 2004 to raise awareness of the need for blood donations and to give an opportunity to appreciate blood donors in honor of Karl Landsteiner, an Austrian physician and biologist who won a Nobel Prize for discov-ering ABO blood groups. The host country for the holiday this year is Rwanda; it will be observed June 14.

Every year, the WHO has a theme for World Blood Donor Day. The theme for 2019 is “Safe blood for all” to raise awareness of the crucial role that regular blood donors play in achieving safe universal health coverage and the need for sustainable blood supplies for those needing blood transfusions. People celebrate by giving blood, by thanking blood donors, by donating money to the Red Cross, by talking about the topic, by volunteering in a local blood drive, by listening to lectures about the importance of safe access to blood, and by using #worldblooddonorday or #giveblood on social media. It’s not a public hol-iday, but some businesses give their workers time off to give blood, and some cities have concerts and parades celebrating World Blood Donor Day.

Tall girl appreciation day by Anastasia Walker

Tall girl appreciation day occurs on the same day as the summer solstice (June 21, 2019), the longest day of the year. It makes sense to celebrate tall girls on this day. If you are a tall girl, celebrate your height and have fun!

Cheer state wrap-upby Suzanne Cannon

Cheer season has come to an end. The Weiser High School cheerleaders stayed busy this year between cheering for multiple sports, serving at fundraisers and winning State. On Mar 16, the cheerleaders competed at the Ford Center in the state championship. A squad of 27 girls pulled together to create one of the most competitive 3A squads in Idaho, performing in Pom, Show and Sideline. The girls earned the state academic award with an average cumulative GPA of 3.770. They placed first in the all-girl show routine and the pom routine. They placed second in their sideline routine. These results put them in 1st place, taking the top spot and making Weiser Wolverine cheerleaders the state champions of 2019, adding to their past success with three total championships. Coach Weldon said, “I’m proud of my squad for not only being great cheer-leaders but, more importantly, being great young women. They strive to be the best, and I’m sure they will continue to be successful beyond high school cheer.”

Tryouts have already happened and the Weiser cheerleaders are ready and excited for a new year with new challenges and opportunities. They would like to thank their commu-nity and school for all their help in pursuing their goals to represent them in the best possible way.

To all who remain, you too will soon begin your journey in the glamorous life of adulthood, so pull up your britches and get ready to rock the next school year!

Juniors (soon-to-be seniors), enjoy this summer, relax, soak up the sun, because August 21st the people who surround you will begin to drill you with questions about your next step. Be prepared to answer them; if you haven’t already narrowed down your choices on schools and careers, I strongly suggest you begin narrowing it down to three of each. Senior year will go as fast as others have said it will, and my goal is to make sure that you’re ready for your next endeavor by the time you walk across that stage next May.

Sophomores, my, oh my, it’s time; you and I will begin working closely towards your future goals. Let’s look ahead to junior year, shall we? This is the year when you continue to explore universi-ties and colleges, careers, and trade careers. This will also be when you finally have the golden ticket for all those amazing campus visits. Take advantage of the representatives who come to Weiser High School because, although I cannot take you to every single campus in Idaho, the representatives always have information on trips to their campus for “FREE” or at a very low cost. Get out of those shells and be prepared to attend Q & As with college representatives.

Do me a favor, freshmen; keep those GPAs up. Free money is calling you at the end of this tunnel called high school, if you want it. Make the most of your time here, challenge yourselves with dual credit courses, but also take that fun class you’ve been eyeing. Enjoy your time in high school; these years will fly by faster than you think.

Beauty tipsby Emilly Perez

As we approach summer break, it’s good to keep in mind that summer is the perfect time to switch up your beauty routine. Here are nine ways to switch it up this summer:

● Use a BB cream instead of a foundation for a more natural look.

● Use a moisturizer or peel that contains exfoliating acids at night.

● Swap lip gloss for lip balm.● Switch to a daily body lotion with SPF.● Use a color-protecting shampoo—even if you don’t

color your hair (most contain UV absorbing filters).● Add tea tree oil to your shower routine.● Instead of wrapping your hair in a towel, brush

through your hair with an ultra-absorbent microfi-ber brush to control frizz.

● If your blow dryer has an ionic setting, switch it on (negative ions fight frizz and break down water molecules).

● Change your perfume.

Down Under Sports tournamentby Madison Phillips

Every year Australia’s Down Under Sports program sends out invitations to above-average US athletes who have excelled in a sport. This year two WHS students received invitations to play in Australia with other athletes from around the US. Junior Grace Soulen and senior Paul Crawford were both lucky enough to receive invitations, Soulen for volleyball and Crawford for football.

However, this opportunity comes with a price tag. Each athlete had to fund-raise and work hard to raise enough money. Soulen decided to raffle her 2007 Dodge Caliber. Each of her tickets cost 50$, and she has sold 90 so far. However, she still has 50 tickets to sell. If anyone is interested, contact Soulen ASAP. Crawford also raffled various items while working weekends to raise enough money.

Soulen leaves for Brisbane, Australia July 13th and returns the 22nd. While she is there, they will have three practices, two games, and a beach volleyball tournament. Crawford leaves for Gold Coast, Australia June 30th and returns July 10th. While he is there, he will be working as a linebacker and a wide receiver. Crawford will be practicing, scrimmag-ing, and playing games for five days and exploring for the rest. These athletes will go on excursions, go to the beach, snorkel at the barrier reef, and hold koalas at a koala reserve. Both athletes are excited for this opportunity. Soulen said that she is most excited to “experience and be immersed in a new culture.” Crawford said that he is most excited “to be able to play football”.

Branson Ward stars in two musicalsby Ari Perez

WHS’s own junior Branson Ward was cast as Aladdin in the musical perfor-mance last week at TVCC. This fol-lowed his starring role in Cinderella in March. His friends from Fruitland told him about the production of Aladdin and encouraged him to try out. Ward, at the time, didn’t have the lead role. “They separated us into three different casts, so I was in the background choir some nights and Aladdin on others.”

He also described the musical as “surprisingly simple and not complicated” despite the first practice being during performance week for the WHS production of Cinderella.

Ward noticed an interest in acting when he was in 4th grade. He enjoys acting because, “Personally, I am a very quiet person. Acting has helped me to get out of my box.” He prefers musicals over plays because he likes to sing. He has played a good guy-type character in both of his starring roles this spring, but “Playing a bad guy has been a dream of mine because it’s so out of character for me,” he said. Ward plans to continue acting in college and possibly pursue it professionally if his first career choice does not work out. “Acting is really for anyone. Anyone can do it. It’s a good learning experience,” Ward added.

Monthly creatureby Deirdre Slaton

The New Caledonian Owlet-Night-jar is most commonly found in the New Caledonia’s Melaleuca savanna and humid forests. Owlet-Nightjar is described with wings short and rounded, a long and slightly rounded tail, and long stout legs. Its call is unknown and its population is estimated to be in the fifties and de-clining; making it an endangered species. With that estimation, it is assumed that they travel alone or in very small groups.

Culture of the month- Rabariby Carly Martin

Cultures are a very interesting topic since there are so many in the world. There are cultures that have adapted and evolved over time, and there are those that have been lost with time. What cultures has history unfolded for the world to see?

The Rabari, also known as the Rewari or Desai, are a group of nomadic animal herders (examples of these animals are cattle & camels) who travel and live throughout the northwestern part of India. The majority of these people are Hindus; according to their beliefs, they were created by Matadevi, the consort of Lord Shiva and great mother goddess of India. It was believed that Matadevi cleaned dust and sweat from Shiva as he meditated; she used the dust to create the first camel, yet it needed someone to watch over it. This is when Matadevi created the first Rabari to watch over it. The Rabari believe that they are actually special children of Mata Devi, and they ask Matadevi for advice in all kinds of important matters like when to start the annual migration of their animals. The women, surprisingly, do many of their business affairs and manage their villages, while the men watch over their livestock. In the past they were very nomadic, but nowadays only a small percent of their population is nomadic due to India’s tolerance of no-madic groups. Nowadays many Rabari live on the outskirts of cities, towns, and villages.

These people are known for their art, especially the mud sculpture-work which they use to decorate their homes. Women are usually the ones responsible for making this art, and they also spin wool from their sheep; this is later made into clothing such as skirts, veils, blankets, and even turbans. Women are also known for making embroidery and bead-work; women often embroider things such as clothes, bags, and even house decorations since it is such an important thing to their people. What is most interesting about these people is their fashion; the women wear striking jewelry and beautiful embroidered clothing. Even though they are a minority, they are one of the most photographed minorities in the world due to their interesting traditions and clothing.

Several WHS students were asked to try to define the word “kakorrhaphiophobia”. Their responses follow: •Cloey Lavy (9): a fear of something•Guadalupe Juarez (9): something scientific•Ben Odoms (9): It’s a made up word.•Ezra Eurkhart (9): I have no idea.•Boone Ksiazek (10): a fear of cats •Eve Sanchez (10): It’s totally a disorder or a disease.•Crystal Scott (10): I have no clue.•Genesis Barrondo (10): a fear of plants•Brandan Moore (11): fear of cows•Caden Cramer (11): a fear of singing in public•Bella Strasser (11): a fear of something•Kailey Frederick (11): some kind of fear•Alexis Warner (12): a fear of kariko•Mia Stender (12): a fear of alligators•Darian Perez (12): a fear of knee caps•Castulo Morales (12): That’s not even a word.

Careers of the month- ethical hacker & pharmacistby Carly Martin

A life-time career is hard to choose from since there are so many in the world. Some people want a job that they would enjoy, while others want a job that can keep the family fed. These careers may not be super cool, but they can be something to consider.

Hacking tends to be thought of as a bad thing, but it can actually be used to stop other hackers. An ethical hacker’s job is to legally hack into a com-pany or organization’s computer systems to find weak spots in the system to prevent other hackers from getting into their system. They then report on the weaknesses in the system and provide some recommendations on how to fix the problem. To become an ethical hacker, one needs a bachelor’s degree in information technology or an advanced diploma in network secu-rity. Other options for degrees are a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, and computer science. One should also have experience in network security. The annual salary range is $29,799 to $183,832.

Pharmacists play an important role in the world and in modern society since they distribute medications to people who need them. From a study by the Mayo Clinic, 7 of 10 Americans take a prescription drug. What is required to become a pharmacist is a Doctor of Pharmacy professional degree, which takes four years to complete. After graduation there is other training that one could take; this takes 1 to 2 years to complete. The annual salary is $121,500.
