Due to the financial downward spiral Washington has recently taken, the Edmonds School District was forced to cut $11.5 million from its overall budget over the summer. In order to keep cuts from affecting students directly, each school has had to decrease its annual expenditures by 66 percent – from $150,000 to $50,000.

“The amount of funding we received from the state was drastically reduced to help solve the state’s $9 billion short-fall,” Edmonds School District Assistant Superintendent Ken Limon said. “In addition we will have about 200 fewer students in the district this year than last year. That means we get less money from the state as well.”

Students will see a rise in class sizes all across the board. Increased class size will save $2 million throughout the district, Limon said. First semester will see a P.E. class with 43 students and an English class with 35.

“I’m going to use the wait until I see the whites of their eyes approach,” Principal Greg Schwab said, insinuating that although students are enrolled in certain classes now, he is hoping class sizes will balance out within the first few days of school.

The MTHS administration has developed a plan for making this reduction go as smoothly as possible. “Nothing but the bare essentials,” Schwab said. “We’re all scratching our heads to figure it out,” he explained. “Nobody said this was going to be an easy thing do to.”

Everyone will be seeing changes in the coming year. Teacher, administrator and school staff work days will be reduced to save $1.5 million. District administration is being reorganized and reduced to save $500,000.

Along with a handful of teachers losing their jobs, the counseling office cut their staff from five down to four, half a full-time secretary was lost in the Administration Office, and two secretaries were lost in the Attendance Office.

One cut students will face most directly will be the school’s inability to allot each student with 100 sheets of paper per semester like it has done the past few years.

Starting this semester students will have to pay $.25 for

each piece of paper they print on. Students can purchase sheets of paper in $1 increments in the Main Office.

Administrators are in the process of looking for elec-tronic alternatives for teachers to communicate with stu-dents. “Hawk Talk (the parent newsletter) will no longer

be mailed, but sent via e-mail,” counselor Colleen Egger said.

Gaynelle Derr, English teacher, plans to communicate with her AP English stu-dents via e-mail to conserve paper.

“I think for us to use our technology more effectively isn’t a bad thing,” Derr said. “I’m just more concerned about those who won’t be able to afford to print homework assign-ments sent to them, or download assign-ments off a Web site.”

Teachers are being asked to turn their computers off nightly, turn their lights off when they don’t need to be on, and recycle whenever possible. Administrators are also asking teachers to print less or

bring in their own paper. “I am going to personally buy all of my own paper this year,” Derr said, “especially in my AP classes; there are a lot of things I think are important for students to see as well as hear.”

Teachers are not the only ones being asked to conserve paper. During the freshman parent orientation over the summer, parents were asked to send reams of paper in with their students. Some teachers are discussing the idea of giving students extra credit for donating a ream of paper to the school.

According to The Public Education Foundation for the Children of the Edmonds School District, the district-wide music department has had to cut $200,000 from its budget. This decrease will get rid of all music transporta-tion, instrument repair, and replacement of supplies.

The athletic department had to cut $250,000 district-wide, affecting all levels of sports transportation. In addi-tion to this, the assistant athletic director’s job will not be replaced in January 2010.

Starting in 2009 the WASL has been changed to the OSPI Assessment. Part of the OSPI Assessment is that students, grades 3-8, will be taking the Measurements of Student Progress (MSP) while students, grades 9 – 12, will now be taking the High School Proficiency Exam (HSPE).

To earn a high school diploma within the state of Washington, students have to accumulate a specific amount of school credit, pass the state assessment test or an approved alternative, complete a culminating project, and complete a High School and Beyond Plan.

In previous years, students completing the WASL were expected to take the assessment their sophomore year yet many chose to sign up early as a freshman. If they did not pass as a freshman they were required to take the test again their sophomore year; the same rule applies for every year until they pass the examination. If students failed the math portion of the WASL, they were given the option of

taking and passing four years of math as an alternative to help them graduate. Statistics show the majority of stu-dents tended to pass the writing and reading portions of the WASL, but not the science.

Randy Dorn, Washington Superintendent of Public Instruction, revised the state assessment because schools weren’t performing as well on the test as predictions assumed. Washington state test scores were reviewed and no school saw improvement in the past several years except for the Mercer Island School District. With the lack of vis-ible statistical academic improvement, the state assessment was revised to meet legal needs.

The 2010-2012 classes will be required throughout Washington to either pass the reading and writing sec-tions of the WASL/HSPE, or pass the reading and writing Certificate of Academic (CA).

In addition to passing the reading and writing WASL/HSPE, Washington studentsº also have to pass the math WASL/HSPE, pass the math CA or earn two math credits after 10th grade.

Light railPromising plans for public transportation expansion

By Brendan MoranHawkeye staff

An extensive light rail system has been a long time coming in Seattle, but it seems the new millennium has finally ushered in some action out of the political quagmire that has surrounded public transit in our fair city. In the summer of 2003, Sound Transit opened a line of passenger trains that connected Downtown Tacoma with a transit hub near the Tacoma Dome that carries 3,900 riders daily, almost double the projected ridership. On July 18 of this year, a 14 mile line extend-ing from Westlake Center in Downtown Seattle to Tukwila Station was opened to the public. An exten-sion of this line that ends at SeaTac airport is scheduled to open before the end of the year, and voters have approved an additional project to provide service to the University of Washington starting in 2016. Plans for passenger rail down the I-5 corridor north of Seattle have been proposed, but a final vote has yet to be cast on the matter.

Charlie Rhinehart, Edmonds resident and CT commuter, thinks Seattle is on the right track with the latest transit improve-

ments. “It’s something I wish we would have had twenty years ago,” he says, and he’s not the only one to think so.

The proposed North Link would bring commuters into Seattle from Northgate in just 13 minutes regardless of weather or traffic conditions. Anyone who has attempt-ed this drive on a weekday morning knows that number is nothing to scoff at. Inrix Inc., a national traffic-information provider based in Kirkland, has rated Seattle as the ninth most traffic-congested metropolis in the United States, Los Angeles placed first, although Seattle is the 25th most populous city.

There is no question that the implementa-tion of widespread passenger rail will alle-viate some of the struggle faced by Seattle commuters every morning and afternoon, but concerns have been voiced about the

cost-effectiveness such a project. The Westlake-Tukwila Link alone was a $2.3 billion project, and the 3 mile University Link is budgeted at $1.9 billion. If the North Link is approved, construction costs are estimated at a whopping $18 billion. Emory Bundy

of the quarterly publication Open Spaces argues that rail’s expensive infrastructure makes it a less sensible and overly-com-plicated solution to traffic congestion, and proposes workplace incentives towards car-

pooling in addition to an extension of vanpool ser-vices like the one offered by King County METRO.

Health care reformWe’re the public,

what’s our option?

By Megan ReslerNews Editor

The Edmonds Woodway High School gymnasium overflowed with disorder and angry controversy on Aug. 30 until attendants were brought together with a national symbol of unity: “A Martha Lake Elementary student will now lead us in the pledge of allegiance,” said Congressman Jay Inslee.

The recital of the Pledge kicked off Inslee’s second of two public town hall meetings. Community members were invited to come and discuss their ques-tions and concerns regarding health care reform.

The House health care legislation is currently pushing a public option in their health care reform plan. The public option proposes a federally-run insurance provider, paid for by the elim-ination of health care fraud and a tax increase on the wealthiest 1.2 percent of Americans. This plan will drive private insurance company’s costs down and make it easier for a larger percentage of the American population to gain access

to health i n s u r -ance.

“This reform plan will provide affordable coverage to 97 percent of Americans within two years of the public insurance program beginning,” said Inslee.

47 million Americans are current-ly uninsured; an additional 4 mil-lion Americans have lost their insur-ance since the recession began. This policy is projected to provide health care to 41,000 uninsured people in Washington, 17,900 small businesses could receive tax credits in order for them to still be able to provide their employees with health coverage, and 1,100 families would avoid bankrupt-cies due to inflated medical costs.

“Washington has done a great job in providing us health care in a relatively cost-effective way; if we can do nation-ally what we’ve done in Washington we can save a lot of money,” Inslee explained.

From 1996 to 2006 the cost of health care doubled. The current proposed federally-run health care plan promises not to run private insurers out of busi-ness, but provide healthy competition while keeping health care inflation from rising unnecessarily high.

This plan also “bans the insurance industry practice of rejection applicants with preexisting conditions,” said Inslee. This change will guarantee health insur-ance for 650,000 people in Washington alone with preexisting conditions.

President Obama will be addressing Congress in a televised joint session tomorrow on his vision for health care reform.

“My belief is that a public option is fundamental,” said Inslee. 47million

Bus cutsby Megan ReslerNews Editor

Starting this month the Edmonds School District will no longer provide transporta-tion to students who live within a one-mile radius of their school. This change, brought about by the $11.5 million worth of reduc-tions the District was forced to make this August, cut $500,000 from the general budget.

Transportation funds are being cut from $7.7 million to $6.3 million, a 18.1 percent decrease; the $500,000 cut from transpor-tation will go to insure cuts don’t impinge inside the classroom.

In order to accommodate families living inside of the one mile radius, ESD has offered numerous alterna-tives to disgruntled parents. District employees have walked and driven through school zones, compiling a map of suggested walking routes.

“We’ve identified, almost by name, students that we could suggest walk-

ing,” said Director of Transportation Craig Christensen. Students who live closer to the one-mile radius than the school might con-sider walking outside the line to a bus stop going to the school.

Since mid-June 2009, district employees have been working with families via mail and phone survey to ensure every student has a planned alternate mode of transporta-tion. Approximately 3,000 students (2,500 families) are being affected by this adjust-ment.

ESD has added additional crossing guards to potentially hazardous areas to make stu-dents feel safer. Some community mem-bers with younger students have considered forming “human-buses.”

Revised 12/2008

Hawkeye Staff editoRial

On May 29, 2008, Avery Doninger of Lewis Mills High School filed an injunction to

stop school administrators from removing her from running for senior class secretary because she wrote that the school superintendent was a “douche bag” on a live journal blog. Judge Sonia Sotomayor joined in a ruling to deny this injunction. The judges said her

words had the potential of being disruptive and were “plainly offensive.” This is not the only rul-ing made by Sotomayor that goes against the First Amendment. She was also one of a trio of appeals judges who rejected a First Amendment claim by a Burlington student last year. The stu-dent was penalized by school administrators for the use of foul language in a blog she was running from home.

School administrators have been allowed by the U.S. Supreme Court to punish student behav-ior if it “materially and substantially disrupt the work and discipline of the school” under the 1969 Tinker Decision. However the Supreme Court still holds that administrators cannot hold students responsible for their behavior outside of school. Judge Sotomayor’s rulings were not in accordance with these past Supreme Court decisions, in either case, agreeing with punish-ment for student behavior outside of school instead. Now that Sotomayor has been accepted to the Supreme Court, students must sadly begin watching what they say and write not only inside but also outside of school.

This situation will escalate until student rights no longer exist. The need to stop these events as soon as possible could not be anymore appar-ent. It is ironic that we learn about the freedoms guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution and the Bill

of Rights while those same rights are taken due to the fact that we are students. The disregard for these freedoms simply on the basis of age is teaching the next generation that the government is not truly held to the ideals it was formed under. Instead the government is arguing the freedoms given under the U.S. Constitution to keep control of youths. “We hold these truths to be self-evi-dent, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalien-able Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” Are students not worthy of the rights they are guaranteed by our nation? Do these rights only apply after we have reached a certain age? No, these “unalienable rights” are ours no matter what our age. “That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.” The U.S. government governs us as U.S. citizens no matter what our age, thus, the power of our government comes from the entire community, regardless of age.

Based on the ideals of our nation our govern-ment is required to secure our rights. Instead they have restricted these rights and gone against the ideals this nation was formed upon. By limit-ing the First Amendment rights of students we simply teach them that the Constitution doesn’t matter. This kind of disregard for basic human rights at the highest level will lead to an out of control government. This is what happened in Britain in the late 1700’s, it lead to the American Revolution. It all starts with the lack of attention being paid to student rights. Sotomayor is a con-tributor to this problem, as she has supported the restriction of student rights in the past. As the rights of those who aren’t involved in the govern-ment are trampled, we must look to the past, and learn from it.

Student rights are in jeopardy

Cassie Soriano/HawkEyE

Can you remember 210 names?This year students and teachers are subjected to class sizes as large as 35 in English classes and up to 43 in P.E. classes. That’s right, classes could get even more chaotic around here. One positive is that the best learning is surely done when it is your day to stand, due to the shortage of chairs.

50 years for MTHSHappy Birthday Terrace! We have persevered through half a century and are still going strong. We have witnessed expansion and growth in every aspect. Our school continues to boast a plethora of renowned programs from music to sports and everything in between. Let’s aim straight and true for our centennial!

Well don’t we feel smart?Last month the three-acre peat bog island in Lake Ballinger caught fire, which lasted about a week, due to an illegal barbeque. Wow, way to go random teens, ever heard of Smokey the Bear? Apparently everyone but you can prevent wild fires. Now you can add kill-ing a handful of baby eagles and lighting 25-foot trees on fire to your list of accomplishments. You even are responsible for hurting a firefighter who was helping extinguish the fire. Everyone knows that peat fires are the hardest to put out, so next time light another type of ground on fire. But kudos on keeping it contained to an island.

Obama’s health care planHealth care for just about everyone? Sounds pret-ty good. People can keep their plan and doctors, people who don’t have health care (over 50 million Americans, 80 percent of whom are from working families) can get health care, and families are protect-ed from going bankrupt due to health care costs. Even if we don’t agree with every little thing in the lengthy bill, we agree it is clearly a good step down the right path.

and they say teens are immature?Recently, two Hawkeye reporters went to a health care forum at EWHS. Although they were two of the youngest attendees they were shocked at the amount of immaturity, misinformation, viciousness, and over-all rudeness that took place. While we are all for free speech, we are also for civility and truth, especially at a forum where the topic at hand is something of high importance. When Representative Jay Inslee would address something like so-called “death panels” numerous people would yell “Liar!” so that the rest of the audience couldn’t hear what the person who actually read the 1000-page bill had to say about it. Regardless of what they were saying, really, no one wants to kill your grandma regardless of what Rush Limbaugh, Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck may say.

I love the start of a new school year. You’re probably thinking, “yeah, right, that’s

what he’s supposed to say.” But seriously, I love this time of year. Welcoming students to a new year, going to volleyball matches, Friday night football games, Back to School Night. All of these things mark for me the start of another school

year. So let me say welcome back to all of you. And let also say a special welcome to all of our incoming 9th graders. You are now MTHS Hawks— and that is some-thing to be very proud of.

One of the great things about a new school year is the chance to start over again. Each year for me is a fresh oppor-tunity to do things differently and work to improve things I may not have done so well last year. The same can be true for each of you. Target one or two things that you may not have done as well as you wanted to last year and resolve this year to be bet-ter at them.

For example, did you procrastinate last year and not turn school work in on time? This year resolve to get better organized and come up with a system for keeping track of school work and due dates. Set deadlines for yourself along the way so you can complete large projects on time.

Did you feel like you were not very well connected to school last year? This year

find a way to get involved in your school. Join the Anime Club, go out for a Track this spring, try out for one of our school plays, join Hawkeye. Find some way to get connected to your school—because it is your school and your experience. You have the power and control to make it a great year.

I was in a Burger King restaurant a few years ago and while I was waiting for my hamburger, I noticed a sign hanging in the kitchen. It stated in bold black letters, “Whether you think you can or you think you can’t....you’re right.” Your attitude and beliefs really do shape how successful you are.

As you enter this school year, I encour-age you to “think you can” in everything you do. Believe in yourself and make the choices that will lead to you being suc-cessful. And this is something that applies to everyone—whether you are someone with a perfect 4.0 gpa or someone that failed every class last year. There is some-thing each of us can focus on and work to improve. Believing you can is a good first step. Of course, you need to act, but it all starts with belief in yourself.

As you start this new school year I chal-lenge each of you to make it the best year ever for you. Like the sign hanging in Burger King implies, it is ultimately up to you to make your experience here truly memorable. It is great to see each of you and I look forward to a fantastic school year.

Hawk TalkQ: If you were not forced to come to

school and get an education, would you?

“Yes, education is what takes you farther than anything else in life.”

“Yeah, because I really like the people at our school. I

don’t think our high school is like others. It seems

like everyone is friends.”

“I would still come because I actually want to become

something later in life.”

“Yes, because the more education you have, the more successful you’ll

be in the future.”

“Yeah, so I could have an education to go somewhere later on in life.”

Howdy. For those of you who are long-time followers of my column, I have

some news. The whole ‘find an error, get a Snickers’ thing is gone. I omit one nit-

picky comma and a whole English class of freshmen wants candy. That one guy who was wear-ing a pink shirt on one of the days we spoke gets one,

though. Come by the ASB office and I’ll get your address and you’ll get dunked on by Patrick Chewing through the mail. And for the rest of you – what are you going to do about it?

School stuff … if I know anything about how Hawkeye works, which I quite pos-sibly don’t, this paper is coming out in the first week.

Mike Tyson once said: “I ain’t the same person I was when I bit that guy’s ear off.” I’m not the same person I was before sum-mer, and you guys probably aren’t either. Hopefully you didn’t get worse. If you’re looking to stay away from ear-biting, there are a lot of things to do at the school right now. I’ll tell you about them if you’d like.

Mike Tyson once said: “I just want to conquer people and their souls.”

Our sports teams are going to conquer some souls this year, and they’d love to

have you watch them. We’ve got football, boys tennis, girls soccer, cross country, girls swim, and volleyball. I play tennis, and practice right next door to the football team. One day, I saw a kid vomiting for a couple minutes while the team was doing conditioning. I don’t know who he was, but he deserves to have people watch him play. Imagine if volleyball was like that. It would have to get mopped up and every-thing. Gross.

Home games are free with an ASB card. Maybe drama is up to something. They’re cool too. The seats in the theater are also a lot more comfortable than cold wet bleach-ers. Not that there’s anything wrong with bleachers. It’s important to diversify where one sits.

Mike Tyson never said anything about dances, but there’s one on Friday, September 11. Go to it. I’m one-sixth planning it, so it will be at least one sixth awesome. It’ll start at nine and end at midnight, and ASB cards get you a discount on the ticket.

Are you a freshman? Hopefully you went to Link Night. Because Stew is having us be better Link Leaders than the last few groups, we are always available to answer all of your questions. Even if they’re really dumb. Don’t worry, we’re all nice – except for one of us. Avoid him.

I’m going to “fade into Bolivian” for this article until next month.

The list of all the gadgets you need

With a mission to bring style and soul to consumer electronics,

Mimobot flash drives offer a myriad of USB drives from 1GB to 8GB.

Each USB drive has a specific theme or design. Like Star Wars? Or

Halo? Mimobot offers a wide selection of clever USB drives based on

the characters of Halo and Star Wars. Not into video games and sci-fi?

Mimobot also carries various hello kitty USB drives, the ever popular

Domo brand, as well. Each custom USB drive is 2.5” tall by 1” wide, and

comes with a one-year limited warranty. For more information please

check out the Web site www.mimoco.com.

Available Oct. 1, the new Sony PSP Go

is perfect way to blow off steam with an enhanced 3.8-in. display, slide-out controls,

16 GB of flash memory, Wi-Fi and a growing

arsenal of downloadable games from the

online PlayStation Web site.

Taking notes during class just got a whole

lot easier. At about the size of a Sharpie, this

pen packs a voice recorder with up to 2 GB of

storage; it remembers everything it has written

in digital form so the handwritten notes can be

synced with a PC or Mac. The smart pen also

keeps track of whatever was being said while

the notes were being taken — just tap a word

to hear all of what Professor Motormouth was

saying at that particular moment. How does it

work? The Smartpen has infrared sensors that

use the tiny dots on the custom (and required)

Livescribe notebook paper.

Some teens need nothing short of a bullhorn

blasting in their faces in order to wake up

in the morning. However some students

appreciate a more subtle approach. The

Philips’ Wake-Up Light looks like a soothing

pillow with an iPod dock attached so the user

can set its internal lamp to gradually illuminate

in the morning just like a sunrise, even if the

user is getting up before the crack of dawn to

finish a paper.

The wake-up light can set the clock radio

or iPod tunes to come on as the lamp begins

to glow, or the user can even choose from a

selection of wake-up sounds, ranging from

“morning birds in the forest” to “sounds of the

African jungle.”

his school year marks Mountlake Terrace High School’s 50th anniversary. From deaths to national championships, from international trips to a Homecoming assem-

bly riot, Terrace has been through quite a lot. Even the campus itself went from falling apart to a “new state of the art school” 18 years ago. Stories from the past may have been buried and forgotten, but it only takes a little probing to uncover them. A few current and former Terrace staff have opened up about the old Terrace years, the changes, and some of the school’s most interesting events.

Bill Rasmussen, head custodian, described his most memorable event at Terrace.“Artwork was being dedicated at the school and there were a lot of important people

there, like the mayor, senator,” said Rasmussen. “We [custodians] were setting up tea in the library and quiet, classical music was playing. What happened was a boy (not an MTHS student) overdosed over by the retention pond and drowned. While I was looking out the window watching the fire truck pull the body out, in comes the principal wanting to know what’s going on, frantically telling me to close the blinds. It was like some artsy film. Like the sort of thing you see in a BBC movie. It was so ironic, contradict-ing, that the dedication for how great Terrace was, was taking place while right outside the window a fire truck is pulling a body out of the pond.”

Science teacher Gil Comeau also remembers MTHS before Small Schools were developed.

“To me, one of the most defining features was that the faculty was like family; everybody was together all the time,” said Comeau. “The small school thing broke up the feeling of family…shattered it.”

Before small schools, the students were so much like a family, that things started getting competitive, out of control.

“There was a riot in the gym during the Homecoming assembly and it looked like the inside of a hamster cage,” said Comeau. “The kids got carried away and were trying to top each other. There was confetti ankle deep, posters everywhere. Finally somebody pulled the fire alarm and everyone ran outside into the nasty rainstorm, just waiting until the fire department arrived,” Comeau said.

Since then, the dial on Homecoming has been turned down a few notches. “Homecoming is now much more tame than it used to be and that’s a good thing. Those kids were get-ting crazy,” Rasumssen said.

Not only has Homecoming changed, but the students have, too. “The old Terrace was more ordered, had better attendance, kids were better behaved,

there were fewer rules then,” said Comeau. “We could have a Christmas tree in class rooms, field trips were less restricted. In my opinion, it was more fun because there were fewer rules.”

Ed Aliverti, who taught music from 1960 to 1967 and then served as a counselor said, “Since we were the Hawks, we decided to go to the forestry department to see if we could take care of a real hawk,” he said. “They looked and found one with a damaged leg or wing. The science department built a nice area for the hawk and a bunch of students studied [in books] on how to take care of it. They even trained it. We had it for one year, maybe

two. Along the way, the poor thing died. We never did replace it.” Although Terrace doesn’t keep up with all the old traditions it used to, the kids

are all pretty much the same. They were, and are, teenagers. “Working around teen-agers gives you a perspective on life,” said Rasmussen. “I continue to be amused…

amazed…by students,” he said.

“Everyone thought Terrace was a dump! I walked into the old Hawk Dome at Terrace for a dance and stepped in puke from someone who drank too much alcohol! I vowed never to come back. Sixteen years later, I got a call from the principal at Terrace and he asked me if I wanted an interview, I thought I could just go for practice. I got the job and I decided I could try it out for a year, it would be an adventure. That was 14 years ago and I love this place.”

emories from

-John Traxler teacher, 20 years

“To me, the most defining feature is that the faculty was like family. The old building was terrible; the walkways were uncovered, everyone was always getting wet dur-ing the winter. The design for the school was taken right from California. There was an extremely small faculty room, so everybody was together all the time, during breaks, lunches, passing periods, all the time, since the walk ways weren’t covered. As a worker, I felt like part of a family.” -Gil Comeau teacher, 32 years

“We used to have a bonfire and parade with floats every home-coming until ’75, when the float broke down between 212th and Highway 99. They eventually had to have it towed.” -Bill Rasmussen head custodian, 25 years

“Kids used to dress up a lot at Halloween. We had one couple who dressed up as Tarzan and Jane. Jane had to go home. [laughs] That was in ’84.” -Gil Comeau teacher, 32 years

“We used to do more for Homecoming but peo-ple started getting out of control. For instance, we used to have a bonfire before Homecoming but some kids started pick-ing flaming sticks out of the fire and teasing and poking the other kids with them.”

-Gil Comeau teacher, 32 years

“I probably won’t tell you about a current fac-ulty member that popped out of a cake, wearing only a thong, dancing to the song “The Stripper.” He used to go to school here, played on the foot-ball team.”- Gil Comeau teacher, 32 years

“In the old Dome there was chicken wire on the ceiling to keep the asbes-tos from falling on the students.”

We had an interesting morning once: we found all the clocks on the walls in the classroom hanging upside down. Well to make a long story short, some of our strong, real active academic students talked a custo-dian into letting them into a classroom after school. They told the cus-todian they left something in there. I guess the kids decided to have a little fun... they wanted to take away their stereotype... change things up a little bit.”

Why do we get brain freezes? Brain freeze is the common name of a sphenopalatine

ganglioneuralgia, which is just a brief cranial pain usually following the quick consumption of a cold food or bever-age. A “brain freeze” happens because something with a cold temperature has touched the palate on the inside of your mouth. This usually starts about 10 seconds after the consumption of something cold and lasts about 20 sec-onds.

Why does hair curl?Hair type affects everyone, it’s based on a persons

genetics. Curly unmanageable hair is not ideal but it is said that people who have tightly coiled hair (most commonly found among African Americans) are descendents from high temperature places such as Africa where curly hair protects people from the sun’s harmful ultraviolet rays. This is supported by what Govindaraja V. Iyengar author of Element analysis of biological samples found in 1998 which was that, the straight hair found among many Cau-casian people allowed UV light to pass through into the skin, but the curls commonly found among black people protect the scalp.

Does eating human make you crazy?

Most students have made a Hannibal the Cannibal reference. But is Hannibal’s insanity caused by the fact that he was a cannibal? Do you really go insane from eating human meat? It’s debatable on whether or not wanting to eat human is already a classified case of insanity but insanity, caused by cannibalism has not been proven.

What happens when you get a bruise?

To a medical doctor this purple spot is called a contusion, which is an injury to the tissue usually without laceration. A common urban legend about bruises is that if you stab the bruise with a needle it will go away because the small hole made by the needle will allow the blood which has seeped into the surrounding tissue to be released. Unfortunately, there is no information to support this remedy. An effective way of re-ducing the pain and the unsightly colors that come with a contusion is to immediately apply ice to the area where a bruise might be forming. This method is recommended by doctors.

Can women with breast implants breast-feed?

Many people believe that women with implants won’t be able to breast feed but the truth is it depends. Depends on what? When a breast implant is inserted the doctor is not intending to cause any damage but that does not change the fact that this event is common.

A few not so unusual complications that occur among im-plant patients are scarring and nerve damage. If the natural milk ducts in a woman’s breast are damaged this can cause it to be extremely difficult and depending on the situation impossible for the woman to breast feed.

Humans will always have questions about their bodies. Whether it’s why we have an appendix or why some people have green eyes while others have brown. The Hawkeye has uncovered the answers to a few of these mysteries.

Human BodyThe Answered:Questions

hawkeye |8 September 2009 | health |9

Hi Campers,

Welcome back to a new school year. It is nice to see all your shiny faces! Sometimes summers turn out way different that you plan.

Here’s what I learned or did during my summer vacation:•Discovered Urban Decay makeup.• Attending or participated in a personal record number of weddings

(Don’t get excited, not one of them was mine!). • Took care of a stroke victim. • Learned how to edit photos on my new computer. • I attempted to run over a rattlesnake. • Went to the Nickelback concert. • Left Dr. Cogburn and her dog on the side of the freeway. • Stole a brain model. • I got out of doing jury duty (it was canceled). • Took field trip to a tortilla factory. • Four wheeled through a field of poop. • Watched season 4 of “Lost.” • Read lots of books and saw lots of movies.As you can see, I didn’t do anything illegal, immoral, or down right

nasty. But I did have fun and relaxed. Find me in room 135, even if I don’t know you, and entertain me with your summer stories. Where did you travel? Tell me about your family road trip. What great book or movie did you come across? And while you are thinking about tell-ing me stories please forward the Hawkeye or me any questions re-lated to health, relationships, or social events.

Do we only use 10 percent of our brain?Fact or fiction: By Suzanne ChoHawkeye staff

Most students at MTHS have heard that human beings do not use the full potential of their brains, but this is in fact a myth.

The brain is one of the most important organs in the human body. It controls the central nervous sys-tem. It also helps with the coordination of walking, talking, breathing and thinking. The brain is also in-credibly complex. However, research has gotten hu-mans closer to understanding how the brain works, such as how much of the brain is used, as well as

what parts of the brain are being used.

The brain uses its whole capacity to perform a human’s daily activi-ties of eating, studying, thinking, playing, and even sleeping.

Brain imaging studies show that not one area of the brain is inactive.

No matter what a person is doing, their brain is al-ways active. Here is an example: If a person is sit-ting at a table and eating a sandwich, then the person is not actively using their feet. Instead, the person is concentrating on bringing the sandwich to their mouth, taking bites of it and chewing on it. How-ever, that doesn’t mean that their feet aren’t working there’s still activity in them, such as blood flow, even when the person is not actually moving them. This situation is exactly related to how the brain works. While a person uses a certain part of their brain to do a task, the rest is still active.

Even when a person isn’t using their whole brain at one time, multiple tasks are done.

If a person wasn’t able to use a part of their brain, it would be useless and then there would no point of the brain being there.

Many people don’t realize that they are actively us-ing the full capacity of their brains, even doing the simple things of resting and sleeping, but recent re-search has proven that this is correct.

“Even when a person isn’t using their whole brain at one time, multiple tasks are done.”

By Jordan Moore Hawkeye staff

As the food radar continues to expand, people have broken away from the typical diet and created new ones. From the simple healthier diet to one

that would help people lose weight. Among these are the South Beach diet,

the Atkins diet, as well as veganism and – a most unique one – the “raw foods” diet.

The Raw Foods Diet is almost self-explanatory – it contains unprocessed

and uncooked plant foods, such as fresh fruits and vegetables, nuts, sprouts, grains,

seeds, beans, dried fruit, and seaweed; ev-erything in a raw or natural state. People

consuming a raw foods diet eat all of the above, as well as drink freshly squeezed

juices, purified water, and young co-conut milk. The fruits and vegetables

are preferably organic. Consum-ers of the raw food diet ultimately have to give up meat and dairy. Food cannot be cooked or processed at a

temperature higher than 116 degrees Fahrenheit, as it is believed that cook-ing foods kills important nutrients as well as enzymes that help in diges-

tion and absorption of foods. While this proves true in most cases, there

are certain foods, such as tomatoes and carrots, which have a higher nutritional

content when cooked.

There are benefits to the raw food diet. Studies show that with a diet in all raw foods, people had lower cholesterol and a higher vitamin A level, which helps protect against chronic diseases. This diet was also low in Trans fat, saturated fat, sodium and sugar, and high in fiber, potassium, and health-promoting nutrients found in raw fruits and vegetables called phytochemicals. Eating raw fruits and vegetables has also shown to reduce the risks of certain types of cancer, heart disease, and diabetes.

Cooking foods kills off harmful bacteria. With nothing being cooked at temperatures higher than 116 degrees, some harmful bacteria may not be killed. The raw food diet also lacks vitamin B12, iron, calcium, and omega-3 fatty acids. It is recommended that anyone on the raw food diet should eat foods that are fortified with these nutrients. Supple-ments are also highly recommended to get the needed amounts of vitamins and min-erals.

So even thought there are benefits to the raw food diet it is not for everyone.

“We have a lot of experience coming back this year. Won a few games we weren’t sup-posed to win last year… we’ll come back and surprise some people … [We’ll] be a year older.” -Tony Umayam

“I’m excited. It seems differ-ent, for me as a coach. I mean I took some of the girls to camp and those that went seem to be the most enthusiastic about the game…We have a hard schedule and I just hope that the fans will come out and really support us this year.” -Marietta Snyder

“Got a pretty big team of about 35. We’re really deep in talent so they’re fighting out against eachother. The whole girls team is coming back strong. Main goal is to repeat as Edmonds District champs.” -Todd Weber

“I think we’ll do pretty good if we play our hardest and don’t have any letdowns. We’ll do great.” -Wesley Dawn (Captain)

“Our outside hitter, [Leah Lechtenberg], got injured so she’s out...Raechel might play outside. She’s can jump higher than [Kait] and [Raech] is tiny. We think she has springs in her shoes. She’s a beast.” -Captains Christine Jenson, Steph McGee, and Kaitlin Hatch

“I think we’re gonna do pretty well. Some of the sophomore guys will hopefully be out. We don’t see a lot of freshmen, like when we went to the middle schools there weren’t a lot of people that were interested.” -Ciara Rink

“I hope we improve our record from last year. A few guys are injured and will be out for half the season until healed. That’s set us back. We’re trying to get the team healthier and run-ning again.” -Alberto Ramirez

“A lot of decent players. Probably better than last year.” Jeff Turner laughs. “No really, a lot better.”

“The team is looking really good. A lot of new girls coming out this year, helping our numbers which is great. Several freshmen coming out with good experience. At least five of them.” -Ashli Black
