Out of approximately 70 different events to choose from, the BPA students

Besides VanBuren, one other student participated at the state tournament: senior Troy Wade participated in the Torch Awards. This competit ion has seven sections where points are garnered in each area. It takes 50 points in each section to earn a Statesmen award. He did receive at least 50 points, so he did receive this award. However, it takes 70 points in each section to receive an Ambassador award which would be given

at nationals. He didn’t quite have enough points to receive this award, but he did win it last year, which took him to nationals in Anaheim, California.

NewsEnglish teacher starts new chapter Paula Yarnot’s new life will begin after 35 years of Shakespeare, grading essays, motivating, caring and writing hall passes.

By Shantel MooreStaff Writer

After 41 years in the teaching profession, English teacher Paula Yarnot has announced her retirement. She started working at Capital in 1976 and has been teaching here for 35 years. Yarnot holds a Bachelor’s degree and a Master ’s degree in Curriculum and Instruction from Boise State University, and attended Idaho State University and Brigham Young University in Hawaii. Her motivation to become a teacher happened in church. “The inspiration came from a bunch of five-year-olds in a Sunday School class. I wound up being their teacher and loved it. This was the best decision I have ever made,” she said. She is currently teaching English 10, English 12 and English 12 Modified. “I choose these classes because I’m a team player. I teach subjects and classes that need to be taught,” said Yarnot. Like most people’s dreams or activities they love to do they have to have a reason for wanting to do it. “I believe in this school, its leadership and staff over the years, particularly now. The reason I am retiring is simply this. Its just time for me to move on and do something new,” Yarnot said.

As the 2010-2011 school year comes to a close, students and staff bid farewell to one of Capital’s “team player” educators

Now...35 years ago...

Amanda SpeaksSophomore

Math teacher Nancy Stephan shows off her school spirit by dressing as a clown on Thursday, Mar 27. Stephan represented the sophomore class during the canned food drive and, since they fell short on the total, this was her “penance.” She felt relieved that it was a test day so she didn’t have to teach and said she had a supportive first period class. “Hopefully nobody in my classes is scared of clowns,” she said.

“ M r s . Ya r n o t i s wonderful and caring person. She motivates and helps people stay Determined on their work.”

Her students are also highly shocked and upset that she is retiring. Here are a few of their reactions: “I’ll miss her enthusiasm and hard work ethic that drives us to success,” said senior Kevin Moreno. “I love her. She’s just like us. She’s funny but scary. My favorite memory from her class would have to be everyday when she lets the bratty teens know whose boss. My favorite thing about Yarnot is she puts the students in their place. I don’t think she should retire. She is everything. She really is the number one teacher,” sophomore Amanda Speaks said. “Please don’t let her retire! She is a sweet, caring woman who truly wants to help us and is not afraid of anything. She has changed

me this year for the better. I love Mrs. Yarnot.” Speaks said. “She jokes around with all of us and has a good time picking on the students. She also tells the class how it is in such a hilarious way. She always is in a good mood and ready to start the day with a smile and laugh,” sophomore Jasmine Villagomez said. Yarnot isn’t the type of teacher to leave without saying a few words. “If I could say anything to my classes before I leave it would be this. Be honest, especially when no one would ever know you weren’t. Do your work. Do your part. Stand up for your values, especially in the face of adversity. Avoid betrayal, on your part or from others.”

Capital’s Got Talent

When in doubt, dance it out Lauren CooperSTAFF WRITER

With 12 girls the Golden Girls Dance Team has been to six competitions. The team traveled to Texas for a national competition. Six year veteran sophomore Cymberlea Matheny, said there were about 8-12 schools in their division. The team placed second in Kick, second in Military, third in Small Dance, sixth in Pom. Sophomore Misha John said, “[In] our first competition, we did really well, the second wasn’t

great, but all we can do is look forward to the next competition, work on our routines, do our best, and try to get better. Matheny said the hardest part of dance team is the “time management skills.” “It takes a lot of time out of your every day schedule, like dancing at basketball games, and finding time to do homework. Getting up in the morning a t the very beginning was very difficult,” she said. The girls have to get up and be at school by 6am to dance. “I would think that

something like that would bug me, but it doesn’t. I enjoy waking up to go dance. It’s exciting. Sometimes I would rather sleep in, but it’s totally worth it,” said John. Coach Julie Stevens said her favorite thing is “watching the team progress in their talents and having them come back year after year and say what an impact the Golden Girls had on their life. Not in a dancing way, but more in a way that it helped shape the people they are today through the hard work and dedication that it takes to be a Golden Girl.”

The softball season has begun with a record of 4-4 as of April 5, th approximately a third of the way through the season. For the remainder of the season, head Varsity coach Shane Alder said, “If they [the Varsity team] want to, they could go really far. It’s up to them.” His favorite part about the softball season this year is “the potential I see in the softball team.” Alder thinks the toughest competition for the girls this year will be Timberline

High School. “They are good from top to bottom in their line-up,” said Alder. Alder has been coaching at Capital a total of five years and said, “I love the game of softball. I have been around it my whole life. I like teaching the girls the game and bringing out their competitiveness.” Junior Varsity player, sophomore Tori Dresser, said she decided to start

playing the sport because, “my parents played it, then my sister, so I joined.” On the field she plays second base and right field. Dresser started playing T-ball when she was younger, and the sport grew into softball, which she has been playing for 10 years. “It’s a physical as well as a mental game and you can always improve how you play,” said Dresser.

We have more kids this year than we have ever had.” Merkley has been helping coach the Capital team for four years. During her coaching experience, she moved up from assistant to head pole-vault coach and then to co-head coach with Bryan Stith. “The coaches are great. They all have a ton of experience in competing at a high level in track,” senior triple jumper Alister Tencate said.

Junior pole-vaulter Asa S h e p e r d s a i d “ P o l e vaulting takes strength and speed to throw your b o d y o v e r t h e b a r. ”The entire coaching staff consisted of seven members including the new throws coach Candice Bryant who came from northern Arizona where she was an All-American in shot put.The team had e leven meets on the schedule including an out of state trip to Reno, Nevada. The state competition is scheduled for May 19-20.“I am rea l ly looking forward to seeing what kind of potential this team has as we start getting into the competitions,” Tencate said.

Opinion Friday, April 15, 2011

Editor: Mark Mouser

Last issue, I interviewed sophomore Democrat Khadija Khan and junior Republican Gabe Osterhout. They both have strong opinions on many issues, and had a lot more to say than what was published. This time, I interviewed the two of them again on three new topics: gay marriage, energy, and the death penalty, and added another politically aware student: Democrat senior Shelby Moore. I also included my opinions on the issues as well. Once again, our conversation was intelligent and mature, and below are our beliefs on hot topics.

If you are interested in being part of this roundtable, e-mail me at chsmarkm@yahoo.com.

The death penalty is an i m p o r t a n t i s s u e , a n d should be cons idered very carefully. Capital punishment tells people if you want to kill someone, don’t do it here; it serves as a deterrent. Opponents will say the constitution doesn’t allow “cruel and unusual” punishment, but killers didn’t steal a candy bar from a convenient store; these are people who committed mass murder. The penalty sets an example to others. Capital punishment ultimately saves lives.

Killing someone to show that killing someone is wrong is utterly ridiculous. People will argue that it saves money, but has our government become so low that we don’t value human life anymore? If you were to look at it through the idea that prisoners would rather die than live life in prison, you have to let the prisoner decide. What if you find out afterwards that the person executed was innocent?

I believe in the death penalty not because of morals, but because of practicality. We are deeply in debt and our prisons are overcrowded. There are some people who are simply too dangerous to be let out into society and cannot be straightened out either. We can’t afford to keep them housed and fed for the rest of our lives, so I think we have but one dark choice: execute them. It sounds harsh, but our options are limited.

I definitely believe in it because most of the people tha t a re sentenced to it have violated another person’s rights, such as life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, which are written in our Declaration of Independence. In doing so, they gave up their own rights. The process should be humane just because torturing them doesn’t make the people they’ve killed come back. However, execution still gives justice to the victims and their families.

America has plenty of oil reserves in the country. Like Newt Gingrich says: Drill here, drill now, and lower prices. The gas price increases we’re having now would be absolutely reversed. By the time we do run out of oil reserves, we will already have more alternatives such as CNG, ethanol, etc.

We need to be energy independent. We rely on other countries so much for energy, tha t what happens over there affects us over here. We need to use our renewable resources because eventually we’re going to run out of oil, and what happens then?

Our population continues to grow and grow and grow, and whether or not you believe in global warming, you can’t deny that our planet and its resources have a limited capacity. I believe this is the biggest issue we are facing now, if not the biggest one of all time. Switching to renewable should be humanity’s priority.

With oil, we should be looking more at home to at least tie us over and lower the cost of gas. In the meantime, we can develop more efficient solar and hydropower. The renewable sources will be expensive at first, but if you look in the long run, it will save our country millions, even billions, as well as our planet and its ecosystems.

I don’t believe in gay rights not because of the sterile state; however, I have these views because of my religious beliefs. The sanctity of marriage must be preserved. God put a man and a woman on this earth first. God’s will was for heterosexual couples to marry and only that. Homosexuals are seeking a special right - they already have the same right to marry [heterosexually] the rest of us have. Gay marriage will devalue your marriage.

The church and the state have been separated for years, so why are they not on this issue? The couple must decide whether their marriage is religious or political. In America, we are supposed to have the same rights. The universal Declaration of Human Rights Article 16 states that everyone over the age of 18 has the right to marry, so why is this basic human right not guaranteed? Marriage should not be a privilege to some, but a right to all.

If you talk to anyone who is against gay marriage, you will find that pretty much all their reasons come from religion. I am very firmly for secularism and believe a functional society runs with separation between church and state. Therefore, I see no logical reason to not allow gays to marry. Some will say that exclusively heterosexual marriage is a 5,000 year old tradition, but so is slavery. Just because something’s new doesn’t mean it’s bad.

If heterosexual couples can get married because of love, why can’t homosexuals? The main problem is that most people don’t understand it, thus are afraid of it, and we all know what happens if people are afraid of something. Noticing the divorce rate of heterosexual couples, why does it make sense that they can marry and divorce two years after, but homosexuals who’ve been together for many years can’t? They have the right to marry, just like anyone else.

Before Pat Robertson starts blaming the events of the March 11 tsunami all on pacts with the devil or wild dancing in nightclubs instead of tectonic plate movements, I thought perhaps discussing the issue of nuclear power as a long-term, green, energy alternative to fossil fuels like oil and coal may be a useful experience. Predictably, the debate on the safety of nuclear power was re-opened in the wake of the tragedy in Japan with many people (rather hastily, in my opinion) saying that this disaster is cause for us to re-think the need for nuclear energy. The exact

same debate occurred in 1979 after Three Mile Island and again, after Chernobyl in the then Soviet Union (Ukraine) in 1986. New reactor plants are designed specifically to w i th s t and eve ry th ing from airplane collisions to terrorist attacks. However, what they weren’t designed for was being built on fault lines. In fact, Japan lies on or along 5 different plates, three of which, the Okhotsk, Amur, and Indo-Chinese plates, cut right through the country where several of the power plants were built. I guess no one cared to view a geological map before deciding to build in one of the most earthquake prone areas in the world with over 1,500 per year. The bottom line remains that we should be looking to nuclear energy as the best energy option. Compared to the 20,000 deaths in the coal industry it has not injured, let alone killed, a single U.S. consumer. Actually, the #1 reactor at Three Mile Island continues to safely provide 786 MWe of electricity, enough to power 65,500 homes for a year. The present, heightened opposition to nuclear energy is little more than a knee jerk reaction to the current tragedy.

The current situation in Japan is painting a bad picture for the nuclear community in the rest of the world. Now would you want a new and improved nuclear reactor/uranium enrichment plant near a city, like maybe a city in Idaho? The proposed project, which was put into fruition by a French company called Areva, who received a $2 billion loan from the Department of Energy, will be set 20 miles from Idaho Falls in Bonneville County and will require not just the support of the State Congress, but also the support of the people of Idaho. Uranium is a very radioactive element, and

radiation doesn’t need a map to know where it’s going and can spread to far away places if it becomes unstable like the radiation in Japan’s nuclear reactors, which are becoming unstable despite the recent successes. My position on this dangerous matter is that, even though nuclear energy is in my opinion the best type of energy around, I still don’t think putting one in a crowded area or even 20 miles from a city is safe at all. The recent accidents in the past and the present are fine examples as to why no one should build a reactor near a crowded area. Chernobyl, Three Mile Island, and the recent Fukushima nuclear accidents are just some of the approximately one hundred accidents to have occurred in the world while 2/3 of them have occurred in the U.S.A. However, in the future, nuclear energy may be the only source of energy due to its high quality. To prepare for this, people might want to think of putting nuclear reactors over water since very few people live on water. I’m not saying this will happen but it’s an open debate. Answer this question to yourself: How far can you really be if there’s a nuclear plant accident?

Four students express their views on three big issues

Death Penalty: Yes or No?

Energy in the future: What to do?

Gay Marriage: Yes or No?

Disaster in Japan opens up nuc lear power debate once againThe crisis in Japan has, once again, spurred debate on the future of the American Nuclear Power industry. Given these events, Flight editor-in-chief Amanda Donaldson and Flight sports editor Jonathan Reff face off on the pros and cons as well as the future of the American Nuclear Industry.
