Editor-in-Chief
Orlando Sentinel

Orlando, FL 32801
Dear Mr. Russell
Perhaps the Orlando Sentinel is seeking to recruit the talent of someone who can grasp complex concepts,
work independently, contribute to the success of a publication and has years of experience working with
professional publication programs. If this is the case, then please accept the accompanying resume for
your review and consideration for the Orlando Sentinel in which these strengths and diverse experience
will be of value.
As the Managing Editor of my high school newspaper, I effectively designed the main spread of every
issue and layout where each story is placed in the newspaper. I did this in addition to researching, writing
and working with fellow staffers. With a background of working under pressure and working effectively
with a team I am able to handle this internship without difficulty. With a strong computer background I
will have no concerns handling the computer portion of this internship.
With my years of leadership roles, my experience using professional programs, like Adobe’s creative
suite, and my familiarity of being apart of a publication for three years I feel these qualities will be very
useful in a successful newspaper. With being apart a member of Quill and Scroll, an international
journalism honor society, and being invited to attend Orange County Mayor Teresa Jacobs’ leadership
conference shows my potential to excel in journalism. Your organization would give me a chance to
develop useful skills that will help in pursuing my long-term career goals.
Although the accompanying resume illustrates my background well, I feel a personal interview would be
better demonstrate my knowledge and abilities. I would appreciate the opportunity to meet with you at a
convenient time. Thank you for your review and consideration. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Respectfully yours,
Anna Marie Boria

Self-analytical evaluation
I started in journalism in a very unusual way. A comment from an assignment in seventh grade put me on this path that I would grow to love so much.
It was an assignment to create questions for a character in a book the class was reading and my teacher was impressed by the detail in my questions and asked if I had ever thought about going into journalism. That comment stayed in the back of my mind as I picked my electives for my freshman year of high school. After conducting my first interview something clicked. It was like finding the perfect shoes for an outfit you have had in your closet for months or trying Starbucks for the first time.
It is impacting all the things I have learned this year in newspaper. I have improved my designing skills and became much more comfortable using InDesign and Photoshop. During the October issue I learned how to use Illustrator and create very complicated ribbons for the DPS. I learned a lesson how everything I plan out design wise cannot always become reality for the November issue with the mouse time line. I learned how to handle stress and be a team player with the final issue.
This course for the past three years has been a valuable course to take. It has showed be to be determined, help others, how to work with a team, strive to do better and be a part of something greater than myself. These are all qualities I will need to use in the real world at a real job.
Refl ection #1
The piece that I consider to be my most significant piece happens to be my favorite piece this year. The theme for the December DPS was conspiracy theories and the moment I heard what the theme would be, a wave of ideas popped into my head. This was the first DPS that I was honestly excited to design and the fun I had designing this DPS made the long hours worthwhile.
This DPS was particularly harder than others because I put more of a creative element that the other two double page spreads. The part that took me the longest was making an ocean background with waves. Lindsay was grateful enough to teach me how to do the effect and I think it came out incredible.
I think the overall package is appealing to the eye. I feel students found this spread more interesting because of the topics being covered. I learned how to use Adobe Illustrator for the background and how to work with layers in Adobe Photoshop for the alien beam. The part I did not like was that I spent so much time making sure the design was well that I was late and almost held the paper up to go to press.
I researched every topic and spent a lot of time searching for photos and cobbing them. I had to draw a ship on Photoshop at the last minute due to a cancelation of a mythical creature in one of the stories. I spent time getting feedback from fellow staffers as I went along to make sure my design was created well.

Refl ection #2
The piece that I feel could still use work is the November DPS. This DPS taught me a very important lesson that helped me become a better designer.
The work did not evolve as much as other spreads because I had a very distinct vision from the very beginning. The part that frustrated me was that I had this very cool idea for the time line of the spread but it did not turn out how I wanted it to. If I did not know how to do something that I had envisioned I would research it. This situation was different, I researched and tried multiple ways to make this time line wrap around the headline but I couldn’t do it. Everything I tried failed and it made me angry knowing that something did not come out because I just failed.
I learned not to let things bother you if they do not go your way. If I had the chance to change it I would use Illustrator to create the curvy mouse cord because I am more comfortable with it now. I look at it now and I think it still looks good without the cord wrapping into the headline. Overall the only thing that really evolved was the change of the cord for the time line to a simple arrow.

This was the first photo I took this year that really impressed me. The lighting in this photo is almost perfect. The resolution of the swimmer is flawless. I captured an intense action shot that is hard to grasp. This photo has a solid center of visual interest. What attracts me to this photo is the intensity of the swimmer’s face; you can almost feel what she felt at this critical moment in her race.

This photo really captured a priceless moment in this boy’s chemistry lab. This photo has a dominant center of visual interest and the lighting is great. This photo captured the face of surprise during a lab. What attracts me to this photo is not that the lighting is good or that the resolution is high but the expression in this boy’s face is what really makes this photo powerful.

This photo captured a rare activity being done at school. This photo captured an artist painting a mural for the newly renovated garden. This photo has a dominant center of visual interest, has a use of leading lines and depth of field. What attracts me to this photo is the beauty of something so powerful being created. The angle I got showed that the man painting is missing a hand which makes you think more of his story and how talented he is.

I feel that I was a big asset to this staff. I was an editor that went above and beyond to make sure my job was done correctly. Unfortunately the amount of time it would take me to design and make sure my designs were up to Hi-Lights standards cause me to be behind numerous times.
If I would see a fellow staffer behind I would offer my assistance even if I was behind myself. Staying after when any extra assistance was needed for the May issue and the March issue show how much being a part of Hi-Lights means to me. Cobbing photos for Connor, answering design questions on a daily basis and doing fellow staffers’ edits for the December issue are just a few examples to how I have been an asset to the Hi-Lights staff.

The biggest hardship by far was the final issue of the paper. The last issue every year has the nickname of “the issue from hell” but this year that nickname reached a whole new level. The senior section and year in review was almost canceled and I contributed to this massive anger set towards the newspaper. My perfectionist attitude for my superlatives page got me so ridiculously behind that I was embarrassed and angry at myself. I spent over 15 minutes cobbing each couple, with 20 couples the workload added up. I did not want help from anyone because if someone else would cob my photos I would just redo them because I felt that these students deserved me going that extra mile to make sure it was just right.
There was a moment that I felt I let my staff and Mrs. Burke down and that was a new low for me in all my three years on Hi-Lights. I did everything I could after I let it get out of hand to go out of my way to stay after school to help make sure the paper went to press. I learned to not dwell on the mistakes you make but to use that energy to do something positive.
If that problem arose again I would ask for help. I would not be so nit picky and let people help me be on deadline. Overall I feel like I handle the situation as best as I could. I made a mistake, I confronted it and I did the best I could to make up for it.

My three goals I put in the semester exam were to stop procrastinating, not take so long to create the DPS and to design better headlines.
I feel like I stopped procrastinating by searching for photos very early and asking for opinions for my design during the creative process.
I feel like I slightly achieved my second goal. My May DPS was not as behind as usual because I started right after the March issue was over and did not kill myself over the small details. My superlatives double page spread was a different story. I spent so much time on it to make it a quality spread which is the reason why my first few double page spreads were behind.
I feel like I achieved my third goal in the March DPS. I created this cool headline by watching tutorials and getting inspired by work around me. This headline was appealing to the eye and went along with the theme of the spread.

Greek food hilights I-Drive scene
By ANNA MARIE BORIA
A delectable aroma fills the air as one walks into the lively restaurant of napkins rain down over the customers. With authentic Greek music playing to accompany the Greek decor, one is instantly transported to Greece.
Taverna Opa, located in the heart of Pointe Orlando is as much of an experience as it is a restaurant. With the electric atmosphere, Opa is the perfect place to enjoy cuisine just as tasteful as the atmosphere is entertaining.
With bold and colorful plants placed around the restaurant and Greek decor in every corner, Opa succeeds in keeping the Greek experience authentic and traditional.
Opa, in Greek culture, means a password that conveys the festive Greek spirit; the restaurant lives up to its name.
If looking for an intimate dinner with a significant other, Opa is not the place. Its atmosphere is better suited for large parties who do not mind the
festive-style celebrations occurring around them.
Due to the popularity of the restaurant, service is not as quick as one would like. To distract from the wait, one is thoroughly entertained by the belly dancers, the Greek house music and the occasional customer invitational dancing on tables that occurs each night.
One can preserve the unique experience of dining at Taverna Opa by buying professionally taken photos and key chains by the their hired photographer. Prices for group photos are $21 and key chains are $10.
Complimentary homemade humus with pita bread is provided before the main course. The humus comes with a pestle and has an unique taste. The freshly made warm garlic pita bread compliments it flawlessly.
Opa offers a range of traditional Greek-style appetizers ranging from $5 to $21 including Tzatziki ($5), Taramosalta ($5) and Spanakopita ($7).
Tzatziki is a Greek homemade strained yogurt. It is also one of Opa’s signature appetizers. Opa’s version is fresh with crisp cucumbers, infused
with garlic, dill and evoo. The Tzatziki is served with freshly baked pita bread.
Opa’s dinner selections range from $15 to $39 including filet mignon and a traditional steak kebob.
The kebob is stuffed with green and red peppers and literally overflowing with flavor. The kebob is accompanied by Greek rice and boiled seasoned potatoes with a lemon wedge.
Opa offers family style dining options for groups of four or more. The prices for the family style dining is $25 a person. This alternative style has a separate menu designed to be shared and to provide a variety of dishes to experience the flavors of Greek cuisine.
Since Opa is an authentic Greek restaurant, if one is not used to the style of food or if one is not willing to try something new, then getting conventional dishes would be best.
The flavors and spices highlighted in Opa’s dishes may be too strong for someone not accustomed to the Greek style of cooking.
At Taverna Opa, one is entertained and fully satisfied with the quality of the food. This celebratory style restaurant is near perfect.

PSAT REGISTRATION CLOSES TODAYToday is the last day for 11th graders to purchase tickets for the PSAT on Oct. 17. Tickets can be purchased after school in Student Services. 11th graders must take the PSAT to qualify for the National Merit Scholarship.
ELECTION POLLS CONTINUOUSLY CLOSEThroughout the 2012 presidential election President Barack Obama has had a continuous slim lead
over former Governor Mitt Romney. As of press date, Oct. 3, Obama leads in electoral college votes with a 49.1 percent compared to Romney’s 45.1 percent. National election day is Nov. 6.
Swing states decide electionBy AUSTIN HALL
With 29 electoral votes, Florida has one fourth of the 115 swing state votes, enough to make or break a candidate.
Former Governor Mitt Romney has 150 guaranteed electoral votes with 41 leaning votes, coming out to a total of 191 electoral votes.
President Obama has 150 electoral votes with 69 leaning votes coming out to 232 electoral votes. A candidate needs 270 votes to win the election.
The swing states consist of bigger states like Wisconsin (10 votes), Ohio (18 votes), Virginia (13 votes) and North Carolina (15 votes).
“[Obama and Romney] just need to keep coming back. Florida has one of the highest electoral votes, with 29, and is pretty evenly split between democrats and republicans,” senior Nicholas DeAngelis said.
In the 2012 election, Obama has spent 19 days in Florida. Romney has spent 22 days here.
If Obama wins Florida and keeps his 69 leaning votes, that puts him at 261
electoral votes. Which means Obama would need nine more electoral votes to get the 270 needed. Any of the
By OLIVIA QUATTRONEEvery four years the presidential
election comes around. The candidates embark on long, complicated campaign trails, participate in conventions and make hundreds of speeches in an attempt to convince the public to vote for them.
However, not all Americans vote. In the 2008 election, only 61 percent of eligible Americans voted.
Low voter turnout is especially common among young voters. Though people between the ages of 18 and 29 make up 21 percent of the eligible voting population, only 17 percent actually voted in 2008. Less than half of 18-year-olds are registered to vote compared to 71 percent of the rest of the population.
Senior Dillon Knox is registered to vote. He was registered at the school when the supervisor of elections came.
“[I got registered] because I’m politically active, and I have strong beliefs about the candidates,” Knox said.
A main reason that people do not vote is because of a lack of opinion. A common belief among voters is that their vote does not matter, that nothing will change and that there is nothing they can do. However, individual votes do matter. Each vote carries a weight, and though the weight varies by state, the national weight for a vote equals one.
“I think that all one has to do is remember the election of 2000, here in Florida where a difference between 537 votes (out of millions) was the difference between Bush. and Gore becoming president. I am a firm believer that everyone’s vote does make a difference,” Kim Davison, Advanced Placement United States government and civics teacher said.
Voting affects how the government is run. In order to have certain preferences represented, one must be informed and choose a candidate who will enact those policies.
“[People should vote] because they should want their voices to be heard and they should want someone in office who has the same views as theirs,” Knox said.
When one does not vote, he is allowing others to make political choices for him.
“I also feel strongly that if you don’t express your preferences with your vote, then you have no business complaining about outcomes or your dissatisfaction with governmental matters. It demonstrates that if you aren’t exercising your civic responsibility and duty as a citizen to be informed about candidates and issues and voting accordingly, then other interests can prevail that you might not agree with and you did nothing about it. If you did vote and you’re not satisfied then work harder toward your cause,” Davison said.
Even if one can not vote, there are still ways to become active in politics. Campaigning, attending rallies and joining political interest groups are ways one can become engaged in political processes early on.

Republican: The Republican Party was founded in 1854. Their philoso-phy is that of a Conservative. They promote traditional social institutions. Republicans favor a less regulated free-enterprise and a smaller government. They are often referred to as the ‘Grand Old Party’ (GOP). The first significant Republican was Abraham Lincoln. They are also represented by the symbol of an Elephant.
Democrat: The Democratic Party was established in the early 1790’s. Their philosophy is that of a Liberal. They believe in very strong equality of opportunity social progressivism. The first major Democratic president was Andrew Jackson. They are represented by the symbol of a Donkey.

would put him at exactly 270 votes, securing the presidency.
Obama does not need Florida. If he keeps his leaning votes, he still needs 38 electoral votes. If Obama wins three of the four biggest states, Obama will win the election without Florida.
Assuming Romney keeps all his leaning votes, winning Florida would put him at 220 votes. If Romney wins all four of the big swing states, that would give him 276 electoral votes and the election. Romney can not lose more than two of the big swing states, but would still have to win the other five states if he loses two of the big states.
Without Florida, Romney would need 80 more electoral votes. This means Romney would need to secure every other swing state except one of the smaller swing states.
“[In order to win Florida], Romney must reach the voters through facts,” government teacher James Corbin said.
According to a 2012 New York Time article, Obama has a 9 percent lead over Romney in Florida.

Conspiracy Theories question reality
ßcreatureprofile
Organization keeps plot under wraps Bigfoot
The Bigfoot, or Sasquatch, is described as a large, hairy, two-legged humanoid beast between 6-to-10 feet tall and over 500 lbs. It is reported to inhabit the northwest region of North America.
Stories of a large, hairy “wildman” have dated back to the early 1800s.

United States government officials assured people it was simply a weather balloon, not a UFO. On July 8, 1947, in Roswell, New Mexico, an unidentified flying object supposedly crashed. The incident was the spark of “UFO fever” in the United States.
In Roswell, New Mexico, on July 1, 1976, another UFO sighting occurred.
A man claimed to be walking home from a friend’s house at night when an egg-shaped object flew above him.
Area 51 and Roswell are theorized to be two storage sites for crashed UFOs.
Area 51 is under extreme surveillance and is classified “top secret” by the United States government.
There is not proof that extraterrestrials exist or that Area 51 and Roswell have connections to aliens, but conspiracy theorists support the ideas that alien spaceships crashed in those two areas.
“I believe there are many strange things in the universe. It is so big; we cannot be the only things [out there],”
junior Dakota Jones said. The existence of aliens is a notion
that people view differently.There is no way to prove that aliens
or UFOs are among us“It is more or less an impossibility
that [aliens] do not [exist],” sophomore Christian Ketcham said.
One man dedicates his time to UFO and extraterrestrial research.
Retired United States Army Colonel John Alexander searches for evidence to prove their existence.
While in the Army, he believes he saw what seemed to be a UFO.
“I have never seen a UFO, [and] I would rather not. [Although] I know they are out there,” Ketcham said.
Because of such heavy surveillance around Roswell, New Mexico and Area 51, conspiracy theorists believe the government is hiding secrets.
According to Colonel Alexander’s book, UFOs: Myths, Conspiracies and Realities, he thinks it is logical that if extraterrestrial life does exist, Area 51 would be involved.

The chaos that ensued on Earth in 2012, not only enhances “end of the world” beliefs, but for freshman Hailey Dragon, the world coming to an end is more than a possibility.
“I don’t believe it’s going to happen, but a part of me does.
There is so much scientific evidence to

The myths of unknown creatures, despite the lack of any solid evidence, have entertained and stimulated the imaginations of people for centuries.
Bigfoot, werewolves, the Loch Ness Monster and El Chupacabra
are legendary creatures that have transcended pop culture and folklore. These legends have attracted a massive following all
across the world and have inspired TV shows, such as MonsterQuest, books and even a pseudoscience known as cryptozoology, the study of “hidden” animals and supernatural beings.
Stemming from recent sightings and discoveries, these “monsters” can be considered modern myths, but others have longer histories dating back centuries ago to ancient mythology, like the Yeti of the Himalayan mountains.
This purported beast, also known as
the Abominable Snowman, is rumored to stalk the high peaks of Nepal and Tibet and described as an ape-like, hairy creature that is taller than the average human male and walks on two feet. The Buddhist indigenous people told stories of a “Glacier Beast,” who they saw as the God of the Hunt.
The Loch Ness Monster, also called Nessie, became famous after Dr. Kenneth Wilson snapped the famed “Surgeon’s Photograph,” a blurry image of a dark figure, which he said was the Loch Ness Monster, protruding out of the water, in 1934.
The famous photograph of the Loch Ness Monster was revealed to be a hoax in 1975 by the Daily Telegraph. Dr. Wilson staged the photo with a small submarine. Most Bigfoot sightings have been revealed to be nothing more than men in hairy suits.

cycles. These “Great Cycles” of the Mayan calendar add up to 5,125.36 years, hence the end of the world would occur on the winter solstice of 2012, which is Dec. 21.
Others, however, believe the end of the cycle means humanity will be introduced to a new age of enlightenment, manifested with significant mental and physical changes, rather than the world coming to an end.
“[2012 theories] are a bunch of hocus pocus. If we believe in 2012, then [we] might as well believe in Nostradamus. [He] was considered a fortune teller and came up with similar [beliefs],” U.S. History teacher William King said.
According to Time magazine scientist Sven Gronemeyer, the Mayan stone tablet’s inscriptions describe the return of a Mayan god of war.
“[This is like] the [year] 2k bug. [It] was another scare tactic. I think we’re more likely to have a zombie apocalypse than the world ending, [but] more in the sense of the bubonic plague,” King said.

Conspiracy theories have had people questioning what is fact or fiction since the early days of the first millennium,
with the first theory recorded claiming Jesus was married
to Mary Magdalene. A more
eccent r i c theory
claims that the elites of the world are blood-drinking, shape-shifting reptilian humanoids whose only objective is to enslave the human race.
Conspiracy theories range from the existence of extraterrestrials to the end of the modern world. These theories have impacted the entertainment world in multiple ways. Sparking television programs spotlighting people with extraterrestrial encounters and
blockbusters such as the end of the world movie 2012.
A recent survey from U.S. News and World Report shows that 36 percent of people believe that aliens have visited the Earth, and over 80 percent believe the government has kept information about UFOs a secret from the public.
This shows, how much conspiracy theories can mold public opinion.
In recent history, multiple conspiracy
theorists claim that many notable people are members of the Illuminati such as Jay-Z, Kanye West and Lady Gaga
One of the key accomplices in the Illuminati conspiracy theory is Myron Fagan, a famous American writer, producer and director. He devoted his later years to finding evidence that a variety of historical events like the Battle of Waterloo, The French Revolution and the JFK assassination by infiltrating the Hollywood film industry, in which he found that they were all orchestrated by the Illuminati.
There are many pieces of evidence that help the case for one to accept the Illuminati’s beliefs and prove what they
have accomplished is accurate and true.“I think people that are accepted in
society and that are very convincing, such as the Hollywood stars, Kanye West and Jay-Z, who sing about the Illuminati in a majority of their songs, make it easier for people to believe in it” sophomore Kyndall Webster said.
It is believed that the famous hip-hop rapper Jay-Z is part of the Illuminati because of his descriptions in songs such as Most Kingz he refers to the Illuminati and says that they were associated with the death of Michael Jackson, Tupac and Biggie Smalls. When asked what his association with the Illuminati was, he just laughed.
airplanes have vanished in the Triangle. Opposed to aircrafts, ships have to factor in a strong ocean current known as the Gulf Stream. History.com’s Frequently Asked Questions, states this current can erase proof of accidents.
Coast Guard History FAQ states they do not recognize the Triangle as a geographic area of specific danger because they believe the Triangle is harmless to ships or planes.
“[Existence of the Triangle,] is something to believe in and people crave that, whether it’s a good thing or bad thing,” Hill said.
The facts behind the Bermuda Triangle mystery have yet to be uncovered.
theories like the Manhattan atomic bomb testing Project have been proven to be fact which makes one wonder if current theories are really conspiracy.
Highlighting other popular conspiracy theories such as creatures, the Bermuda Triangle and the Illuminati, this special spread takes a deeper look into the theories that question reality.

Moreover, in Scientific American’s article, “NASA Crushes 2012 Mayan Apocalypse Claims,” Don Yeomans, head of the Near-Earth Objects Program Office at NASA/JPL, states that the Mayan calendar shows the ending of a cycle and the beginning of a new one.
“There’s [information] to back [2012] theories up. I’ve heard the planets aligning [and the Earth] blowing up. The aspect that it might happen is always a possibility,” Dragon said.
However, Yeomans explains that if a planetary alignment happens, there would be no tidal effects on the Earth.
Yet with accredited scientists disproving the Mayan calendar myths, Dragon remains skeptical.
“Part of me does believe in [2012]. [With Hurricane Sandy, I thought] it was ironic and [shows how] you can’t really prepare for [the end of the world],” Dragon said.

Illuminati refers to a conspiratorial organization, which is alleged to mastermind events and control world affairs through governments and businesses to establish a New World Order.
The thought of this dates back to the late 1700’s when the local citizens referred it to as a Bavarian Illuminati; the German philosopher Adam Weishaupt first originated the conspiracy.
The modern day conspiracy theory is that a majority of the world events that happen are being controlled and manipulated by a secret society calling itself the Illuminati. Conspiracy

When one thinks of setting sail or boarding a plane, the last thought one has is disappearing. The Bermuda Triangle places the possibility of this happening in one’s face.
Also known by its nickname “Devil’s Triangle,” it is located off the southeastern Atlantic coast of the United States. It is known for the disappearance of ships and aircrafts.
“It’s just like a mystery story. No one really knows if it’s true or not,” senior Shelby Hill said.

I quit cold turkey. [The health effects weren’t] worth it. The pros and cons didn’t level out. [The cigarettes] were killing me. James Colson, senior
By MEGHAN COTTON
Call it what smokers will, a cig, a nail in the coffin or a stogie, cigarettes will inflict the same amount of damage no matter what name they go by.
People of all ages smoke cigarettes for different reasons. Senior James Colson started smoking during the summer because it was the thing to do.
“I thought it would just be cool. It was a good stress reliever,” Colson said.
It does not take long before the addiction kicks in. There are more than 4,000 chemicals found in tobacco products when smoked.
These chemicals are found not only in cigarettes, but are also found when smoking hookah. Nicotine, the most common chemical, triggers the reward pathways which control feelings of
pleasure in both forms of smoking.“My body wanted the nicotine. Just
holding it felt natural,” Colson said.Nearly every organ in the body is
harmed as a result of smoking. It is a main cause of lung cancer and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or COPD, which includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema which damages the air sacs in the lungs. Health teacher and track coach Darcy Jeffers lost her grandmother due to emphysema as a result of smoking.
Not only does nicotine have an internal effect on the body, but it also affects appearances. Examples include browning teeth, rotting gums, acne and the ever-lingering smell of smoke.
“If you smoke, you smell. Your house smells and your car smells. I tried
[smoking] once and decided it wasn’t for me,” Jeffers said.
It does not take long for social or physical activities to become a hassle.
“[Smoking] causes you to have a constant cycle of stress. It was hard to work out because [I’m] out of breath,” Colson said.
Kicking the habit is easier said than done. The National Institute on Drug Abuse states, “For some people, the feel, smell, and sight of a cigarette and the ritual of obtaining, handling, lighting, and smoking the cigarette are all associated with the pleasurable effects of smoking and can make withdrawal or craving worse.”
The symptoms of withdrawal can include depression, anxiety, increased appetite, irritability and more. If a
smoker wants to stop, there are medical treatments available over the-counter.
If sheer willpower is not effective in quitting, the treatments are a safe and affordable option.
Nicotine replacement chewing gums, patches and inhalers exist to curve the addiction to cigarette smoking and to wean users off of nicotine. Not all replacements are effective and results vary depending on the addiction level.
“I quit cold turkey. [The health effects weren’t] worth it. The pros and cons didn’t level out. [The cigarettes] were killing me,” Colson said.
Choosing whether or not to smoke is a personal decision. No matter what one believes the pro’s of smoking are, the simple fact is that smoking shortens lives and deteriorates the body.

It is no surprise that students engage in the practice of smoking cannabis.
Although, it’s usually referred to as marijuana, mary jane, pot, weed, or a variety of other names, these casual names do not detract from how serious using the illegal substance can be.
“I know a lot of people who have been charged with the possession of marijuana and others who have been charged with distribution, and [they] are ruined,” freshman John Doe said.
Marijuana is the number one used illicit drug in the United States, but it is not necessarily the most harmful. Over 800,000 Americans are arrested each year for marijuana possession or another marijuana-related crime according to drugpolicy.org in “10 Facts About Marijuana.” Possessing marijuana can result in up to 10 years in prison.
“I’ve seen too many go to jail as a result of making the stupid choice to use, sell or possess marijuana at school,” Student Resource Officer Kenneth Pinkston said.
If one is caught with 20 grams or less of marijuana, the maximum sentence is one year and $1,000 fine. If one is caught with more than 20 grams, it is a felony and the penalties are equivalent to owning 25 or less marijuana plants. That includes a maximum of five years in prison and a maximum $5,000 fine. Selling 20 grams or less contains the same legal consequences as possession of the same amount. Selling 25 pounds or less becomes a felony with a five year maximum sentence and maximum $5,000 fine. When within 1,000 feet
Marijuana has highs, lowsof a school, park, college or any other qualified area, the penalty for selling automatically jumps to a felony with a maximum 15 year sentence and $10,000.
Minors can attend Drug Court instead of going through the normal county juvenile court. The system puts the convicted into a counseling program where the minor can eventually remove the offense from his record if he follow the curfews, pass drug tests and attend his counseling sessions.
Despite possible legal consequences, sophomore Jane Doe smokes a few times a week and on weekends. Despite it being a time consuming and half-debilitating habit, she has been able to maintain her 4.3 weighted GPA. She credits marijuana for pulling her out of depression and helping her build a relationship with her sibling through smoking together.
Marijuana for all the negative connotations associated with it, hasn’t been fully negative according to John Doe, but that is not to say its benefits outweigh its negatives.
“It relieves a lot of stress. When I’m really pissed off I have to smoke or I’ll punch something. I’ve gotten involved in a lot of hard drugs, coke, molly and it’s mainly because you buy pot from drug dealers who are involved in other drugs,” John Doe said.
Similar in name, but different in practice, synthetic marijuana, also known as spice or K2, is more harmful to its users than smoking weed. Synthetic weed can be found at some gas stations under a variety of names, even though Congress outlawed it’s sale in 2012. It
Smokin’ hot: Cigarettes burn lives
By JACKSON CRUMBLY
Use of tobacco is prominent in the United States today, such as cigarettes, cigars and smokeless tobacco.
Smokeless tobacco, commonly referred to as “dip,” has been around ever since tobacco was harvested.
Dip is extremely common among athletes, particularly in baseball, because one can do it while playing or practicing the sport, unlike smoking tobacco.
This sort of tobacco has also found its way to students, both during and after school hours.
One can purchase dip, like smoking tobacco, at the age of 18, but that does not always mean minors cannot get their hands on it.
Junior John Doe, age 17, dips five times a day, at school and spends nearly $40 a week on smokeless tobacco.
Doe started dipping when he was 12 years old.
“I was fishing with my buddies and dipping sounded like a fantastic idea,” Doe said.
Doe’s brands of choice are Long Cut ($3.29 a can) and Grizzly ($3.75 a can).
Doe believes dipping relieves headaches more effectively than Aspirin and relaxes him when he is stressed. Currently, Doe does not plan on
quitting.In 13 states, including Florida, if a
minor is caught using tobacco he must attend educational awareness classes on tobacco use. In addition he will be fined up to $250 and the user’s driver’s license may be suspended. Also, the parents of the underage user can be convicted of a violation and forced to attend these classes with the user.
Peter Post, baseball coach and algebra teacher, doesn’t let students or players dip at all and is against anyone, young or old, using tobacco. If he catches a player he makes the player sit out a week of practices and games.
“I think dipping is bad period. I think a lot of the guys see the professional players doing it,” Post said.
Major League Baseball has banned players from carrying tobacco cans on them during games and using during interviews but has not banned players using it during play.
Dip contains nicotine, like cigarettes, which is an addictive drug that makes one crave it. Among nicotine, dip contains 28 other carcinogens including: cadmium used in car batteries; lead; n-nitrosamines; polonium 210, a type of nuclear waste; hydrazine; benzopyrene; uranium 235; used in
nuclear weapons and fiberglass.Studies show, due to its higher
levels of nicotine, dip is harder to quit than cigarettes. Once one has become addicted to dip it is extremely difficult to stop, and can induce one with withdrawals. If one is a constant user before the age of 18, there is an 80 percent chance he will use it for the rest of his life.
Along with cancer of the pancreas and mouth, dip also increases risk of gum disease and heart disease from higher blood pressure. Dip also reduces an athlete’s ability to perform because it causes slower reaction time.
Dipping can be harmful or even fatal to the user’s health and starting earlier only increases one’s risks. Both smoking and smokeless tobacco present unhealthy risks for one’s future and could affect one’s future.
Dipping hurts student’s health
is linked with kidney damage, has killed teens and caused over 11,000 emergency room visits in 2010, according to CNN in “Teen narrowly escapes death after smoking synthetic marijuana.” According to U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration spokeswoman Barbara Carreno, synthetic marijuana can be 100 times stronger than marijuana.
“[Synthetic marijuana] is literally the scariest s**t I have ever done. It’s really easy to smoke too much. I was in danger of going into cardiac arrest last time I smoked too much. It’s a really, really scary high. It’s actually a lot of fun though,” John Doe said.
Weed has affected student’s reputations in high school. Whether it is viewed as a positive trait to smoke it, or a negative one, it changes student’s perceptions of each other.
“I lost all of my friends because I was doing it. I didn’t care what people [thought] of me because I was happy,” Jane Doe said.
Marijuana is linked to causing cancer and having no effect, so its exact effects are unknown and likely different for each individual. Some users understand that what they are doing is bad for them, but that fact does not stop them.
“It will affect me later in life. Smoking anything is really bad for you, but it won’t affect me ‘til later,” senior Joe Smith said.
John Doe has little concern for smoking marijuana and actually is certain it will not effect him at all.
Although health effects are not certain, legal consequences will affect students for the their entire life.
60percent of students who use drugs regularly claim to use marijuana
10percent of all males use marijuana compared to 6 percent of females
14million Americans report using marijuana in the last month
63.9percent of marijuana usage reported in emergency rooms were recorded in Dallas, TX.

Students hazy on facts behind hookah By COOPER BROCK
Often thought a less harmful alternative to cigarettes, hookah has become a popular substitute. The facts behind this preconceived notion, however, say otherwise.
A hookah, or water pipe, is essentially a cooling system for tobacco smoke that was invented in Persia during the 1500’s. Flavored tobacco is placed into a bowl, which is then burned, and the smoke passes
through a basin of water to purify and cool the end result, which is channeled to be inhaled through a hose.
While the current laws regarding smoking hookah mirror those regarding cigarettes, which require one to be 18 years old to smoke, hookah is often easier to acquire, and annually less expensive than cigarettes.
Since cigarette smoke is saturated with more harmful chemicals and nicotine than hookah smoke, it is assumed that hookah is safer.
On the contrary, while hookah smoke is more purified, and contains less harmful substances than cigarette smoke does, the sheer amount of smoke inhaled during a hookah session is enough to make hookah the more harmful activity. A single hookah session can be the equivalent of smoking 100 or more cigarettes, according to the World Heath Organization.
“[I don’t worry about the health risks of smoking hookah] at the moment,
but long term, when I think about the things that could happen, I kind of worry,” senior Laya Al-khalil said.
Al-khalil has been smoking hookah since she was 14 years old. Originally from a small village in Lebanon, Al-khalil’s family smoked hookah as a cultural tradition, rather than as a social activity.
On the flip side, senior Jane Doe started smoking hookah over the past winter break, after her friends introduced her to it.
“[I smoke] for fun,” Doe said. “It’s fun do to tricks with the smoke. It passes time and doesn’t get boring.”
What is generally lesser known is that hookah can also be addictive. Since users inhale more total nicotine, the addictive agent in tobacco, from hookah sessions, smokers can get addicted faster and more severely than cigarette smokers.
“[I’m addicted] because it comes up a lot in my life, and I use it as an escape.
I really want to smoke right now,” Doe said. “It calms you down, and it separates you from everything else. ”
While the current laws regarding smoking hookah mirror those regarding cigarettes, which require one to be 18 years old to smoke, hookah is often easier to get a hold of than cigarettes. One only needs to buy one hookah, which can then be used by many, only having to replace the tobacco, rather than buy the whole package repeatedly.
“It’s relaxing, but it’s a social thing, it opens up conversations and you meet new people,” Alkhalil said.
Because of the idea of hookah being less harmful, it is taking more of a hold in the teenage community. Hookahs are relatively inexpensive and are seen as a social activity, rather than an equally, if not more, addictive alternative to cigarettes.
There are currently 26 hookah bars in Orlando, the majority of which charge $10 to use their hookahs.
60%of teens asked knew that
using hookah was more detrimental to their health than using cigarettes

ELECTION POLLS CONTINUOUSLY CLOSEThroughout the 2012 presidential election President Barack Obama has had a continuous slim lead
over former Governor Mitt Romney. As of press date, Oct. 3, Obama leads in electoral college votes with a 49.1 percent compared to Romney’s 45.1 percent. National election day is Nov. 6.
Swing states decide electionBy AUSTIN HALL
With 29 electoral votes, Florida has one fourth of the 115 swing state votes, enough to make or break a candidate.
Former Governor Mitt Romney has 150 guaranteed electoral votes with 41 leaning votes, coming out to a total of 191 electoral votes.
President Obama has 150 electoral votes with 69 leaning votes coming out to 232 electoral votes. A candidate needs 270 votes to win the election.
The swing states consist of bigger states like Wisconsin (10 votes), Ohio (18 votes), Virginia (13 votes) and North Carolina (15 votes).
“[Obama and Romney] just need to keep coming back. Florida has one of the highest electoral votes, with 29, and is pretty evenly split between democrats and republicans,” senior Nicholas DeAngelis said.
In the 2012 election, Obama has spent 19 days in Florida. Romney has spent 22 days here.
If Obama wins Florida and keeps his 69 leaning votes, that puts him at 261
electoral votes. Which means Obama would need nine more electoral votes to get the 270 needed. Any of the
By OLIVIA QUATTRONEEvery four years the presidential
election comes around. The candidates embark on long, complicated campaign trails, participate in conventions and make hundreds of speeches in an attempt to convince the public to vote for them.
However, not all Americans vote. In the 2008 election, only 61 percent of eligible Americans voted.
Low voter turnout is especially common among young voters. Though people between the ages of 18 and 29 make up 21 percent of the eligible voting population, only 17 percent actually voted in 2008. Less than half of 18-year-olds are registered to vote compared to 71 percent of the rest of the population.
Senior Dillon Knox is registered to vote. He was registered at the school when the supervisor of elections came.
“[I got registered] because I’m politically active, and I have strong beliefs about the candidates,” Knox said.
A main reason that people do not vote is because of a lack of opinion. A common belief among voters is that their vote does not matter, that nothing will change and that there is nothing they can do. However, individual votes do matter. Each vote carries a weight, and though the weight varies by state, the national weight for a vote equals one.
“I think that all one has to do is remember the election of 2000, here in Florida where a difference between 537 votes (out of millions) was the difference between Bush. and Gore becoming president. I am a firm believer that everyone’s vote does make a difference,” Kim Davison, Advanced Placement United States government and civics teacher said.
Voting affects how the government is run. In order to have certain preferences represented, one must be informed and choose a candidate who will enact those policies.
“[People should vote] because they should want their voices to be heard and they should want someone in office who has the same views as theirs,” Knox said.
When one does not vote, he is allowing others to make political choices for him.
“I also feel strongly that if you don’t express your preferences with your vote, then you have no business complaining about outcomes or your dissatisfaction with governmental matters. It demonstrates that if you aren’t exercising your civic responsibility and duty as a citizen to be informed about candidates and issues and voting accordingly, then other interests can prevail that you might not agree with and you did nothing about it. If you did vote and you’re not satisfied then work harder toward your cause,” Davison said.
Even if one can not vote, there are still ways to become active in politics. Campaigning, attending rallies and joining political interest groups are ways one can become engaged in political processes early on.

Obama does not need Florida. If he keeps his leaning votes, he still needs 38 electoral votes. If Obama wins three of the four biggest states, Obama will win the election without Florida.
Assuming Romney keeps all his leaning votes, winning Florida would put him at 220 votes. If Romney wins all four of the big swing states, that would give him 276 electoral votes and the election. Romney can not lose more than two of the big swing states, but would still have to win the other five states if he loses two of the big states.
Without Florida, Romney would need 80 more electoral votes. This means Romney would need to secure every other swing state except one of the smaller swing states.
“[In order to win Florida], Romney must reach the voters through facts,” government teacher James Corbin said.
According to a 2012 New York Time article, Obama has a 9 percent lead over Romney in Florida.

N14. Entertainment reviewsI want my restaurant review to represent me in this category
because I feel it is well written. I used a lot of descriptive words to describe everything from the food to the atmosphere. I feel the story gave a good representation of the restaurant and gave enough details for readers to imagine themselves being at the restaurant.
N31. Photo illustrationI want this photo illustration to represent me become it is very
clean and informative. This photo illustration shows my ability to design unique ways of displaying information. This is from my first spread as the managing editor so this illustration is very special to me. Also I worked closely with Lindsay on this illustration so that makes this piece even more special.
N78. Portfolio of workI want to send in my three favorite spreads to
represent me. I feel these spreads show my versatile designing skills. The October issue shows how clean and professional I can be while the December issue shows my creativity. The March issue is a nice medium between the two spreads.
Refl ection #8
It is so impacting how much I have grown throughout the past years in my portfolios. My first year I barely knew how to design and I altered a simple image for my theme. My second year I showed improvement by using a threshold for my design. This year I feel like I really stepped up my game and showed how much my designing has matured. In this portfolio I used multiple effects such as layers, inner glow, gradient overlays and things that I didn’t even know about last year.
My writing for my Germ busters story my first year shows how mediocre my writing was. When you compare it to my restaurant review or the May DPS intro from this year you can see a new level of diction and better grammar.
My best design from last year as the business manager to my best design this year shows how much I have learned this year. For my best design from last year I simply set up photos in an appealing way for the Smoothie Room. My best design for the December issue I used Adobe Illustrator and new effects of Photoshop that I was not comfortable with before.

Greek food hilights I-Drive scene
By ANNA MARIE BORIA
A delectable aroma fills the air as one walks into the lively restaurant of napkins rain down over the customers. With authentic Greek music playing to accompany the Greek decor, one is instantly transported to Greece.
Taverna Opa, located in the heart of Pointe Orlando is as much of an experience as it is a restaurant. With the electric atmosphere, Opa is the perfect place to enjoy cuisine just as tasteful as the atmosphere is entertaining.
With bold and colorful plants placed around the restaurant and Greek decor in every corner, Opa succeeds in keeping the Greek experience authentic and traditional.
Opa, in Greek culture, means a password that conveys the festive Greek spirit; the restaurant lives up to its name.
If looking for an intimate dinner with a significant other, Opa is not the place. Its atmosphere is better suited for large parties who do not mind the
festive-style celebrations occurring around them.
Due to the popularity of the restaurant, service is not as quick as one would like. To distract from the wait, one is thoroughly entertained by the belly dancers, the Greek house music and the occasional customer invitational dancing on tables that occurs each night.
One can preserve the unique experience of dining at Taverna Opa by buying professionally taken photos and key chains by the their hired photographer. Prices for group photos are $21 and key chains are $10.
Complimentary homemade humus with pita bread is provided before the main course. The humus comes with a pestle and has an unique taste. The freshly made warm garlic pita bread compliments it flawlessly.
Opa offers a range of traditional Greek-style appetizers ranging from $5 to $21 including Tzatziki ($5), Taramosalta ($5) and Spanakopita ($7).
Tzatziki is a Greek homemade strained yogurt. It is also one of Opa’s signature appetizers. Opa’s version is fresh with crisp cucumbers, infused
with garlic, dill and evoo. The Tzatziki is served with freshly baked pita bread.
Opa’s dinner selections range from $15 to $39 including filet mignon and a traditional steak kebob.
The kebob is stuffed with green and red peppers and literally overflowing with flavor. The kebob is accompanied by Greek rice and boiled seasoned potatoes with a lemon wedge.
Opa offers family style dining options for groups of four or more. The prices for the family style dining is $25 a person. This alternative style has a separate menu designed to be shared and to provide a variety of dishes to experience the flavors of Greek cuisine.
Since Opa is an authentic Greek restaurant, if one is not used to the style of food or if one is not willing to try something new, then getting conventional dishes would be best.
The flavors and spices highlighted in Opa’s dishes may be too strong for someone not accustomed to the Greek style of cooking.
At Taverna Opa, one is entertained and fully satisfied with the quality of the food. This celebratory style restaurant is near perfect.

Finance teacher is county finalist
By CONOR CURRY
Effort. According to some of Bill Daniel’s past students, effort is how one succeeds in his class.
However, unlike as in some difficult classes, Daniel’s students do not resent the workload or the teacher.
“[As a teacher] he really brings out the best of you as a student. He helped me mature as a person and in my studies. I believe he’s a great person and teacher,” sophomore Rachel Goldenberg said. “[He] definitely [deserves this award], above any other teacher I’ve ever had. He really puts learning as his priority.”
After being chosen as the school’s teacher of the year, Daniel learned he was one of five county finalists out of 199 high, middle and elementary school teachers.
Some of Daniel’s responsibilities include coaching football’s defensive backs, overseeing the Academy of Finance’s magnet program, teaching four different courses, acting as a site supervisor for the IRS Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program and managing the Central Florida Educators Federal Credit Union campus branch.
In the IRS VITA program, Daniel trains and supervises the student volunteers, serves as a liaison for the school with the IRS and oversees all E-file functions within the site to process each client’s return.
According to Daniel, nothing he does as a teacher sets him apart from others in the county. He is often heard stating that he is not even the

Society, technology affect academic dishonesty By BRIDGETTE NORRIS
From the Harvard University cheating scandal to students at a high school in Long Island hiring impersonators to take the SAT in their place, speculators are blaming technology for the lack of academic integrity.
“In the last ten years, technology has made it easier for students to cheat. It is easy for students to take short cuts through other sources,” English teacher Jennifer Hilley said.
According to the International Center for Academic
Integrity, statistics show in the last fifty years, cheating among high school students has increased.
By simply typing a word or phrase in Google, a student has several websites at his disposal. Because of the volume of sources available, research can be completed quickly, with a touch of a keyboard. A student no longer needs to visit a library or use an encyclopedia to research and find information.
However, students can take advantage of these available
sources in a negative way. For example, students research online and copy the
answers they find word for word. Students avoid reading novels; instead, they read summaries
and analysises found online and use those as the basis for their work. Also, students use their smart phones to take pictures of assignments, quizzes or tests and send it to their friends

Today, almost half a dozen different types of smoking are intertwined into the lives of almost 40 percent of the high school population, according to drugabuse.gov. Smoking is slowly evolving in different forms as the generations change. In 1970, the most popular type of smoking was cigarettes.
Cigarettes and chewing tobacco are still high on the list of the most popular types of smoking, but new forms like hookah are being done by people on campus. The false knowledge of the new forms being less harmful than other types of smoking is why the new forms are rising in popularity.
Smoking is proven to affect

performance in all types of fields of work including sports. Types of smoking including chewing tobacco are controversial within baseball teams because it negatively affects an athlete’s performance. It is seen in other sports such as golf, but is not as popular.
The most trendy type of smoking among high school students is not legal in the United States. According to drugabbuse.gov, 36.5 percent of high school seniors smoke or have previously smoked marijuana in the last month. Young people are showing a decreased perception that this drug is harmful to them due to the rise of use of marijuana.
This spread highlights four types of smoking high school students engage in and their affects in the campus environment.
