The Class o 2013 isthe frst class in Idaho to beassigned with the seniorproject. Many groaned inpain at the thought o havingto do more work. Althoughsome may view the seniorproject as a waste o time,others are making theirsenior project memorable.

Sarah Pak completedher senior project over thesummer, the Mutt Strutt.She chose to help theanimal shelter because oher passion and love oranimals. The communitywas invited to CSI and bringtheir dogs, in eorts oraising donations. She roseover $1,000 or the animalshelter, and 300 lbs. o pet

ood. This was a tremendousdonation that she had made.It was such a great turnoutthat many are hoping orit to be an annual event.

Another senior, SaraMcLain, did a undraiseror her senior project. Shetitled it as the 5k Walk orWishes. The undraiser, asthe title says, encouragedpeople to walk 5k in eortsto raise money or Make-A-Wish. Sara explains, I wentthrough a program calledKids or Wish Kids! We raised$200 or the Make-A-WishFoundation Idaho chapter!

The reason why she choseto donate to Make-A-Wishis because her cousin wasdiagnosed with cancer,and the organization wasable to make his wish cometrue. She was able to make

a big dierence with thesenior project, which manydid not expect. With this,Sara is glad she was able tomake a dierence. WhenI frst ound out aboutthe senior project I wasntthrilled at all. Although,ater doing the project andknowing that I helped achilds wish come true justmade it all worthwhile!

Sara McLain and SarahPak are just two o manyseniors who are changingthe community with whatsome may see as a schoolassignment. This project hasbeen very benefcial, andseniors didnt expect it to be.

Many are very doubtulo the idea o seniorprojects. 40 hours minimumbeing involved with thesenior project may seem

like quite a task, but i oneinvolves a passionate thingto do, it it makes the projectmuch easier. Freshman,sophomores, and juniors,start thinking! The seniorproject is nearing quickly!For those who have no ideawhat to do their projecton, think o a passion! Forthose who have a love oranimals, take ater SarahPak and talk with the animalshelter! For someone whomay love to act, fnd a wayto put on a play with a hugeaudience! The senior projectis helping students to makea dierence, while helpingthemselves! Many havechosen to do something thatwill beneft the communityand there are many moregreat ideas to come!

Ater a devastating lossin the 2012 presidentialelection, Mitt Romneyhas had to deal with adicult recovery. Manyrepublicans are now askingthe question; where is henow? Rumors are ying, butwhats the truth?

The morning ater thegovernors loss, the manwas seen surrounded byamily. His wie, children,and grandchildren gatheredaround and bonded overchocolate milk. As or the

candidates uture, it isuncertain. Some sources sayhe will delve into his non-proft work or become amore active member o hisMormon church.

Although supporterso Romney do not expectany kind o political uture,there is opportunity or thecandidate to take a placein the Republican Party.Romneys help has beenrequested in helping toplan the GOPs next ouryears. However, as soonas 2016 rolls around andthe next election begins,

Romney will take no part inthe election. Romneys ownwie stated, Absolutely hewill not run again.

Many conservativesnow see Romney as a majorrole model. Ater all, theman is still in his prime atsixty-fve and as healthy ashe can be. He has built hisown business and investedin countless amounts ostock and other businessrelated unds. Many agreethat Romney may have auture in fnancial advising.In the Mormon community,the man is seen as highly

esteemed.Romney is so highly

viewed that many wouldlike to see the candidatepublish a book. Accordingto sources, Romney kepta detailed journal o histravels while campaigning.Whether or not Romney willpublish his private articlesremains unseen.

As or now, Romneyis enjoying the quiet lie,spending some time withhis amily. Even those closestto him do not know what isnext or the candidate. Beon watch!

Retired Army Gen.David Petraeus resignedrom his post as CIA directorlast week ater an FBIinvestigation revealed hehad an extramarital aair.

The investigation alsoprompted questions aboutwhether his paramour hadinappropriate access toclassied inormation.

The scandal also hassparked an investigationinto whether Marine CorpsGen. John Allen, the top U.S.commander in Aghanistan,sent inappropriatemessages to a dierentwoman, leading PresidentObama to put Allensnomination to becomeNATOs supreme allied chieon hold.

The FBI uncoveredthe Petraeus aair while itinvestigated e-mails that hisparamour, Paula Broadwell,allegedly sent to a Petraeusamily riend, Jill Kelley,

according to a U.S. ofcial.Kelley, meanwhile, is thewoman to whom Allenallegedly sent inappropriatee-mails, according to theDeense Department.

Below is a summary owhat we know about thesituation.

New developmentsA week ater resigning

as CIA director, Petraeustestied Friday in closedhearings to the Houseand Senate Intelligence

committees about theSeptember 11 attack on theU.S. Consulate in Benghazi,Libya, that let AmbassadorChris Stevens and threeother Americans dead.

-- Petraeus said theBenghazi attack was an acto terrorism committed byAl-Qaeda-linked militants,said Rep. Peter King, aNew York Republican.Petraeus stated thathe thought all along hemade it clear that there

was signicant terroristinvolvement, accordingto King. The congressmansaid the clear impressionhe got rom Petraeus inSeptember testimonywas that the attack arose

out o a spontaneous

demonstration. Accordingto King and other lawmakers,Petraeus testied that hisresignation was not linkedto the attack, a concernraised by administrationdetractors, given thetiming o his departure justbeore the beginning o thehearings.

Kelley visited the WhiteHouse complex three timessince September 28, a WhiteHouse ofcial said. Therst two were or meals in

the White House caeteriawith her sister and a WhiteHouse staer who met theKelley amily while visitingMacDill Air Force Base in

Tampa, Florida, and thethird one -- on November4 -- was a White House touralong with her husband andtheir three children, said theofcial.

Petraeus: I did not passon classied inormation

Opinion: 5 things wevelearned rom Petraeusscandal

The Petraeus afair-- The FBI uncovered

the aair between Petraeus,60, and his biographer,Broadwell, 40, aterBroadwell allegedly sentanonymous, harassinge-mails about Kelley -- rstto Allen in May, and then toKelley and her husband inJune -- according to sourcesamiliar with the case.

-- Allen told Kelley aboutthe e-mail he received,and Kelley eventually told

an FBI agent -- a riend ohers -- about the messages,sources say.

-- Kelley, 37, and herhusband are riends oPetraeus and his amily andriends o Allen. A CentralCommand spokesman saidshe is a volunteer with noofcial position at MacDillAir Force Base, where theU.S. Central Command isheadquartered.

-- The FBI determinedthat the messages came

rom Broadwell. One o themessages to Kelley wasalong the lines o stay awayrom my guy, a U.S. ofcialsays.

-- During theinvestigation o the e-mails,

other communications

suraced connectingPetraeus and Broadwell,who is a married mother otwo living in North Carolina,an ofcer in the U.S. ArmyReserve and a Ph.D.candidate in theDepartment o WarStudies at KingsCollege London.

-- Broadwell,a West Pointgraduate, hadwritten a biographyo Petraeus,

published inJanuary, called AllIn: The Educationo General DavidPetraeus. Shemet Petraeus in2006 when hespoke at Harvard,where she was agraduate student.She wrote the bookater researchingPetraeus or herPh.D. dissertationon his leadershipskills and visitinghim and his team inAghanistan, wherehe became topU.S. commander in2010. Petraeus andBroadwell begantheir aair in all2011, a ew monthsater he returned tothe United States,retired rom theArmy and tookover at the CIA,according to aPetraeus riend.

They ended it in thesummer o 2012,Petraeus riendsaid. On ElectionDay, November6, Petraeus toldDirector o NationalIntelligence JamesClapper about theaair, accordingto a senior U.S.intelligence ofcial.Clapper advisedPetraeus to resign,the ofcial said.

On November 9,Petraeus quit theCIA over the aair.

The House andSenate intelligencecommittees wereinormed o the FBI

investigation the same day.

The class updatesstudents on current weathersituations and covers thebasics o atmosphericstudies, including topicssuch as air masses, airpressure, wind, andweather-oriented naturaldisasters.

In the late 90s,Ridgeway installed the classinto Robert Stuart JuniorHigh Schools curriculumbut the class was cancelledbecause they put moreEnglish and math in,according to Ridgeway.Upon Canyon Ridge HighSchools opening in 2009,Ridgeway was able to revivehis lost class. It was a nobrainer or Mr. Dickinson,the principal here, saidRidgeway about the classsreinstallation. Ever since

then its been great.Ridgeway said he has

considered pursuing adierent career relating toweather but ound teaching

was his most avorable path.He eels other proessions

in atmospheric studiesmight get a little tiresomebecause o the repetitionand complex math. Thatsthe great thing about Earthscience and teaching ingeneral, said Ridgeway. Itsconstantly changing andyoure always learning newideas.

Throughout the years,Ridgeway has become aseasoned storm chaser withabout 15 chasing excursionsunder his belt, his rst being

in 1991. He

recounted ap a r t i c u l a r l yclose callin which atornado in thepanhandle o

Texas narrowlymissed his car.The tornadowas movingat a 45-degreeangle towards

me, said Ridgeway. I Ididnt go and gun it, Id endup behind it and would havebeen pounded by hail. You

want to be the one doingthe chasing, not the onebeing chased, he added.

While chasing storms,lightning oten posesthe most serious threat,according to Ridgeway. Hespoke o an instance whenhe was photographinglightning in the middle othe night near Twin Falls.Ridgeway heard a buzzingnoise, elt the hair on hisarms rise and knew he wasin danger. I crouched downlow and sure enough the

lightning struck in a rockpile about 50 yards away,said Ridgeway. Ridgewaysaid he then bolted back tothe saety o his car scaredto death. They dont needto nd some dead scienceteacher on the side o theroad, he added.

In Ridgewaysexperiences, the mostexciting chase in his opinionwas not an actual chasebut rather witnessing thechaos caused by a mile-wide, rain-wrapped tornado

near Allison, Texas. It wasso dark, said Ridgeway.We knew it was out therebut thats something youdont chase. He spoke othe destruction let in thetornados damage path.

There were many cows deadand beaten up. So manyhomes destroyed, saidRidgeway. Ridgeway s wieJanaye, daughter Nicoleand son Alex do not sharehis love or weather but aresupportive o his dangeroushobby.

My wie worries moreabout the driving, saidRidgeway. Theres so manyreckless drivers out there.You just have to be careul.

Student idols o CRHS

There are amouspeople all over the globe.Most o them are idols, aperson o inspiration thatwe look up to. To JayleenLovell (9) Katy Perry is myidol, because she shows youhow to be your own personand to go your own way.Instead o being a copy, bean original. And on thatnote, one o the biggestidols to people is Lady Gaga.Why? Lady Gaga is a womanwho doesnt want to t in,

she wants to stand out,and thats exactly what shedoes. With wild costumesand outstanding songs,Lady Gaga has redenednormal. However, noteveryone idolizes acelebrity. For some, an idolis someone that lives lie tothe ullest and stays true tothemselves.

And or this student,their idol is the exactdescription o a hero. Ariend, a amily member,and even a neighbor can be

an idol. Almost anyone canbe, but or Karlie Haskins(10), her idol happens to beher boyriend.

It may be clich butthis sophomore idolizes

her boyriend because hemakes me want to be a

better person. Riley Shindlemay be dierent, but hesan absolutely and amazingathlete as well as student, soit makes sense or him to bean idol. The couple just hadtheir two year anniversaryand that is truly somethingto idolize.

Although, this nextstudent doesnt idolizeher man, she looks up tosomeone else entirely. Forstudents who play sports,they will usually have aamous player o that sport

that they admire and aim tobe like. Yet, its not alwaysa player thats motivates astudent; sometimes its thecoach that counts. CameronKendrick (9) says her idol isCoach Stacy Boer becauseduring volleyball, i we werestruggling, she would bethere to pick us back upand to keep pushing to seekgreatness, because thatswhat our season was allabout; seeking greatness.

All in all, idols can bejust about anyone. An idol

will be an individual that willmotivate and inspire you tobe yoursel, to be a betterperson and to reach or yourgoals, no matter what; anidol who will be your hero.

Tattoos and piercingssymbolize dierent things

to people; even i othersmay not understand it ully.Like, how does a butterfymean strength when onetouches their wings, theycrumble to pieces? Or alip piercing symbolizessomebodys hero. Whatdo they mean? Why arepeople getting them?Senior Brandon Greco says,Some people get piercingsbecause it is the in thing.

Tattoos are just awesome nomatter what anyone says!

According to www.

designboom.com, tattoosbegan over 5000 years agorom the Polynesian and

Tahitian. They came upwith it rom the Polynesianword ta which meantstriking something andthe Tahitian word wastatau which meant tomark something. Together,the word became tattoo.

Tattoos could haveeven started rom a cut andrubbing dirt on it. When ithealed it let a small mark.Brandon also stated, I love

tattoos, theyre an art!Tattoos may be a type o art,but what about piercings?

According to k12.ia.us, piercings came rom

many dierent cultures anddierent piercing meantdierent meanings. The rstpiercing was the nose-ring.

They were discovered inthe Middle East about 4,000years ago. Tongue piercingswere the rst practicedpiercings or ritual practice.

The longest type o piercingis the earlobe. Theyrealso the most common.

Aaron ODell, seniorsays, I think ears, noses andbelly-buttons are okay andnormal now; but anythingelse seems a bit excessive.

People now daysjust eel they need thesetattoos or piercingsand it now symbolizes

revolt against parents orbecause others disagree.Times have changed,

and there is almost no onenow that says they donthave some sort o tattooor piercing. Brandon Grecoalso said, Piercings dontreally symbolize anything.

Tattoos on the other handcan symbolize anything.

People get thingsto symbolize theirgrandparents passingor to have a bond withsomeone. Like my dad

and I with our tattoos.Everyone has their ownview on tattoos. Whetherit is a positive or negative,tattoos create an impact.

Mrs. Lauda: biological extraordinaire

Mrs. Lauda is a Biologyteacher here at CanyonRidge. She began teachingat Twin Falls High School herrst year, and transerredto Canyon Ridge whenit opened. She startedteaching Physical Scienceand Biology but has sinceocused on Biology andBiology 2.I earned mydegree in Microbiology andhave 25 years o experienceworking in labs, as why she

chose to teach Biology.Having Biology, withMrs. Lauda as ones teacher,is quite the experience.She tries her best to makescience un, especiallyor students who may

consider it a bore. Thebest experience teaching

is seeing a student whostruggles, get hooked andbecome engaged andinterested in Biology, Mrs.Lauda says she likes toexpose students to dierentaspects o science. Mygoal is to make the studentwant to know more, andhopeully not bore them,she states happily.

Growing up, Mrs.Lauda dreamed o beinga dancer on Broadway. Iloved perorming, I loveddance, and thought it was

a glamorous and excitingcareer until reality set in.Ater that, I set my siteson the medical eld. Mrs.Lauda aspired to becominga doctor throughoutcollege, but then gotanother reality check. Sherealized that being a doctorwould be too demanding.I knew I wanted to havea amily and be a mom, Iwanted a well-roundedlie. Her next career choiceas a Medical Technologistwould prove to have ewer

demands, but a highdemand or Crazy Cake.Crazy Cake is something

Mrs. Lauda enjoysbaking or her amily. All

o the ingredients you cannd in your cupboard, sheexplains, no need or milkor eggs. It has ingredientslike cocoa, our, bakingsoda, and sugar, which arestirred right in the bakingpan.

Mrs. Lauda enjoysteaching the recipe to herkids so that when they leaveor college, they are able tosatisy their craving.

Many students areamiliar o the Sun Valley skiresort, and so is Mrs. Lauda.

One day, she went to theresort with her husband ora day o skiing. She recountsthe day, I was skiing, and Icaught an edge, and skiedo o a cli!

Thankully it was a snowcovered landing. Peoplewere talking to my husbandsaying, Wow! Did you seethat? He climbed back upthe mountain to nd mecrawling over the edge withmy skis in hand. Mrs. Laudadoesnt consider hersel arisk taker or an expert skier.

She does love teaching andreally enjoys the students atCRHS.

Mrs. Lauda smiles happily at herdesk as she eagerly awaits her nextclass period.


Some might say itsimportant or teenagers inhigh school to have somekind o ater-school job. Parttimes jobs canact as a wayto get someindependence,as it introducespeople to thew o r k - o r c eand how toearn theirown money.Landing asummer oreven winter (seasonal)

job can be a greataccomplishment orevery teenager. Generallyspeaking, youngerpeople -- including highschool students with nosignicant resume -- are ata disadvantage in the jobmarket. Some traditionalemployers are still in thegame o hiring teenagers,like McDonalds, and a ew

grocery stores here in TwinFalls.As most people know

Twin Falls just received theirvery own Chick-Fil-A, and

These includeworking withc u s t o m e r s

Energeticand outgoing are someperect examples o highschool students lookingor a job. Ater school jobsmay not be or everyone,but it is a great start intolearning what it is to be anadult. A plus side to having

a job in high school is themoney, and who doesntlike money?

Ater school jobs maynot be or everyone,but it is a great startinto learning what it isto be an adult.

What does morningcoee, late aternoon soda,and a Monster energy drinkall have in common? Theyare all drinks? Well that iscorrect, but they all havecaeine. Caeine has adebatable reputation inthe eld o health and thisdebate has yet to see its end.Caeine is the most widelyused stimulant in the world,with ninety percent o thepopulation consumingit. This additive is oundnaturally in tea leaves, kolanuts that are used to avorsot drinks, and o coursethe coee bean. There areother man-made orms, butall have the same eect:stimulation o the nervoussystem. This means that

drinking caeine aects thebrain, spinal cord, and othernerves. Once caeine entersthe system, it takes arounda hour to take eects, andthen stays or our to six

hours.This is the point o

caeine, an energy boost tokeep a person awake duringthat early morning class.However, it is an addictivesubstance which meansthere are side eects. Thisincludes being unable toall asleep or stay asleep,a aster heart rhythm,

higher blood pressure,dehydration, and completedependence, which meansthat the body couldntunction without it. Theseare all caused by caeineconsumption at a constantrate. How caeine aectsan individual is hard to say,because everyone has adierent tolerance. This canmake the need or caeinehigher or one person thanit may or another, and itcan make the crash worse.Caeine withdrawal ismuch like other addictionwithdrawals that includeirritability, headaches, andmuscle aches, which otenleads the person to drinkmore caeine, a cycle o

addiction.Does this mean that

someone should cut ocompletely rom caeine?Not necessarily, the FDA (USFood & Drug Administration)says that as long as a personstays under the 400 mg limitand do not drink more than600 mg, the equivalent o4-7 cups o coee. Caeine

is a stimulant that can helpsomeone stay alert but caneasily become an addiction.So, an occasional coee orcup o tea is perectly ne,but keep in mind that eventhe best energy boost canhave a really bad crash.

The eects o caeine

The week oThanksgiving is also theweek or people to startthinking about Christmas.

There are people who goBlack Friday shoppinglooking or a good deal on agreat git or someone.

As the years goby, people think aboutChristmas gits more andmore. Whether or notpeople realize it, over thelast 50 years, Christmas haschanged drastically.

In a 1961 survey,Americans said that theyspent an average o $119.82on Christmas the yearbeore. The same survey

was given again last year.This time the average wasaround $764 on Christmasthis year. Now why thissudden change in theamount spent? There area ew theories to this. Oneo them is that people aregetting better paying jobsso they are able to spendmore money on the thingsthat their amily is askingor Christmas. Anothertheory is that there aremore credit cards. Thereare around 1.4 billion

credit cards in circulation.In 1961, there were only 11to 13 million credit cards.Although credit cards canpay or something whenmoney is scarce, peoplestill have to pay o all themoney spent on their creditcards. In October 2011, 14.2million Americans were stillworking to pay o last yearsChristmas shopping.

Another altercation orChristmas is baking cookieson Christmas Eve. The nightbeore, kids would be in thekitchen baking cookies toleave on the table with milkor Santa.

Today, people eitherdont make cookies orSanta anymore or theysimply buy cookies thathave already been baked.

This is very dierent, asmany amilies would jointogether in baking cookiesor Santas arrival.

Christmas 50 years agois very dierent than it istoday. Gits are becomingincreasingly important, aspeople are asking or more.

With new electronicssuch as the iPad and iPhone,costs or git givers increase.Christmas has seemed to gorom amily time o giving,to the time o taking.

Christmas changesComedy Jam: the unny guy

Comics have one o thehardest jobs; it is their jobto make everybody laugh.

This is a difcult job becausenot everybody thinks thesame things are unny. TylerSchmechel is known to bean all-around unny guy,and has always been able tocreate all kinds o laughter.

Tyler took his rare talent tothe stage or his rst everstand-up comedian show atwhich he got the wonderulopportunity to open ora hilarious improvisationcomedy group.

Clearly nervous,Schmechel paced back and

orth but still succeededat being the usual unnyguy we all know him as.

The show took place in thene arts auditorium at CSIand had a near capacitycrowd in which everyonewas on the verge o tears.His jokes where hilarious

and extremely original,including some jokes abouthis last name and how sportsexperiences just made orawkward situations.

In our opinion,Schmechel did incredible orhis rst time, even thoughhe was clearly nervous heplayed it o pretty well andsucceeded in making uslaugh so hard we startedto cry. When Schmechelwas asked why he wantedto do stand-up comedy hesimply stated it was part o

my bucket list. While mostpeople wait until their mid-lie crisis, young Schmechelis getting started early. Heplans on doing stand-upagain so keep an eye out orhim.

Schmechels ellowperormers had greatinteraction with theaudience. A handul omembers in the audiencewere picked at random togo up on stage and take partin the show. The audience

interaction gave addedhumor with its impromptupart o the show. It is saeto say Schmechel hassome great potential in thecomedy world. Its nice toknow we have our claim toame.

Riverhawk Review - Twin Falls, ID - Tuesday, January 15, 2013 Opinion6

For many years now,the Twin Falls School Districthas made up a school dress-code. From not allowingspaghetti straps to notbe able to wear hats in thebuilding, but or the pastew years the idea o schooluniorms came into play. Ina personal opinion, schooluniorms t the goody-good type o schools thatseem to ocus more onbehavior over education.

Its plain and simple, schooluniorms are not meant orpublic schools.

Dress-codes havebeen so deeply enorcedlately because students

just cannot seem to ollowsimple rules. I completelyagree that some o thecodes are at out stupid, buttheyre also not that hardto abide by. Leo Campos,senior, says, I we had towear school uniorms Iwould not be too happyabout that! I think it would

be dumb because studentswouldnt be able to expresstheir individuality andeverybody would look thesame. On the other hand,senior Nick Perius, senior,responded, I think uniormswould be kind o cool. I usedto have to wear them at myold school so I guess itsbecause Im used to them.

Many people may voteno on school uniormsbecause o one main reason,it doesnt let their kidsand students express their

individuality or personality.Brooke Bertoni, junior adds,Getting school uniormswould be lame because weshould be able to expressourselves. Expressingindividuality is what makes

up ones personality. It is

just a part o someones liethat allows him or her to betheir selves. I agree that noone wants to see stomachhanging out o tank tops,or boys pants hangingso low that their boxersare showing, but schooluniorms take it to a wholenew level.

I students want towear something and thenwaste their parents timebecause they have to callhome or abusing the dress-code; then ne, let them!

They had the decision onwhat they were going towear when they rose out obed, but dont make otherstudents wear a schooluniorm because a coupleo dim-witted studentscannot ollow the rules. Leoalso added, I think it wouldworsen the school becauseso many kids would goagainst it and eitherwouldnt wear them anywayor just transer.

Nobody likes to lookor dress like their arch-

enemy, so why try and makethem? School uniorms areunnecessary or todaysgeneration. There may bemovies where the high-school students are wearingtank-tops with mini-skirtsand ten-inch high heels,but sorry to break it to yougirls; this is reality, thoseare Hollywood movie stars.I each student would juststop abusing the dress-codes then there wouldbe no issue with uniorms,and it probably wouldnt

even have been broughtup. I understand that whenits nice and warm outsideand students want to wearsummer clothing, but dontorget were still in school.Respect what we have now.

School UniformsBY AZIA NUTTING

Many seniors have highhopes o traveling out ostate or college. They lookat schools in states suchas New York or Caliornia,simply because they wouldlike to be in the state, beingcompletely oblivious to theactual tuition or distance.Many would love to get asar away rom home as theypossibly can, which can be abig mistake.

Out o state tuition is

higher than that o in stateschools. Out o state tuition,depending on the schools,ranges rom $20,000-$40,000 a year, or just thetuition. With the costs obooks and room and board,a year could cost over$60,000. Why go to a schoolin Caliornia or a Businessmajor, when you can get thesame education or around$3,000 - $5,000?

Many students shiver atthe sheer thought o havingto go to CSI, mysel being

one o them. Theres alwaysthe chance o me going,but lets hope I dont! CSI isa great start though, its agood way to ease into thecollege lie. Also, one canstay with their parents (ithey still want their kids inthe house). The expenses oliving on campus can addup quite quickly, and withparents, college reshmanwill not have to live on topramen so much.

I can see peopletranserring to a specialty

school out o state ater their

rst two years. Personally,

I plan to go to a universitywithin the state, and thenater I would like to transerto University o MontanaSchool o Journalism atermy rst two years. This canbe a great choice, as thereis always the possibilitythat I will change what Iwould like to do in lie. So iI decide to go into business,I wouldnt have wasted myyears in Montana.

Another reason orsomeone to travel outo state is i their eld o

interest is ofered elsewhere.Someone who would wantto major in Interior Designwould have to most likelytravel out o state, as it is notofered within Idaho.

Staying in state is not asbad as an idea as many makeit out to be. For those whoare unaware o why in-statetuition is lower than out-o-state is because taxpayershave contributed the mostto the school systems,thereore the lower tuitionis a sort o reward. Going to

an Idaho school such as BSUor ISU enables students tostay close to their amilies,but allowing the distanceneeded rom their parents.Also, most everyone hasbeen in Boise or Pocatello.

This means that whenmoving, college reshmanwill have a sense o wherethey are, as they alreadyhave an idea o where placesare in the town. Transerringto a University in anotherstate may be too much orstudents who have never

even stepped oot in the

state.

Going out-o-state canbe benecial, but seniorsmust think, is it worth it?Scholarships can help withthe cost, but there is still thecost o housing, books, andother ees included in thecosts o attending. Stayingclose to home saves money,which is very important.

One must rememberthat although there arescholarships out there thatcan cover ones out-o-statetuition, it is not guaranteedto the hopeul student. A lot

o scholarships have manyapplicants, which lessensthe possibility o winningthe scholarship.

Seniors must be smartin their choices o college,and not choose a schoolsimply because o thestate its in, or i its wheretheir riends are going.A visit with a counselorwill denitely help guidestudents unsure o how todecide their college choices.

Choosing a College

Every student knowsthe horrors o the dreadedstandardized testing. Everyyear up to a students junioryear, one must take this test.

The test consists o diferentsections, such as reading,writing, and mathematics.

The assessments areconsiderably easy to passwith at least a procient

score; but are these tortuoustests really necessary?

In my opinion, as wellas various other students,these tests are not essentialto a students success in highschool. They do not pertain

to high school graduation inany way, nor do the scoresgo on a transcript. However,there is a ederal mandatethat states all studentsmust take the ISAT, IdahoStandardized Achievement

Test. Due to the No ChildLet behind Act o 2001,standardized testing isnow used to track studentprogress in schools.

Though testing createda way or the ederalgovernment to ollowstudent progress, it doesnot allow students to betterthemselves in school. I astudent does not want tolearn, nothing may makehim learn. So, what is thereason or the ISAT?

Waking up early inthe morning and going toschool or eight hours canbe a drag. Its really tiring onstudents, as it causes a lacko sleep. School starts at8:00 a.m. causing studentshaving to be up beore thesun. People go through theday being tired, but wouldpeople really benet i theywere able to wake up laterin the day?

The main problem isi we start school later, wehave to stay later in the

day . I we stayed at schoolater the usual release, wewouldnt be able to doas many activities in theevening. We would ,mostlikely wake up later and thengo straight to school. Wealready dont have a wholelot o time to do things atnight as it is. We would losea lot o time at night to doother things that we would

want to do. Starting schoollater would help us stayawake more, but we wouldlose a lot o time.

Samantha Coates(12) opinion is We shouldactually start earlier inthe day because then wewould be able to go homeearlier. Would it be easierto start earlier and be ableto come home earlier? Suchas starting school at 6:00a.m., and nishing school at1:15, this would be quite anadjustment.

Many students wouldhave a lot more time intheir day, although it wouldtake away the time o sleep,

students have to debate thesleep and school.

I we started later, it is aproven act that teenagersbrains do not ully startworking until around nineoclock that morning. So iwe started one hour laterthan now, we would beable to work more than wealready do now.


One has many college choicesand must do their research to nd

whats best or them.

Whats the point ocelebrating New YearsEve? Each year, no matterwhere you go, there is apesky announcer that tellsyou how ar it is rom 12oclock. Like any other year,this New Years was thesame. The announcer toldthe audience every hourmark and eventually gotdown to minute mark whenthe moment is nearing.Seconds are being counted,as it is just a ew secondsaway rom New Years. Then,

the crowd joined in a massNew Year countdown andstarted screaming HappyNew Year ollowed by thedeaening noise o paperhorns, which I believesounded more like duck

calls. People were unitedin harmony and collectivehappiness as they knew

that 2013 had now nallybegan. A lot o these peoplehave been counting downthe days until this very day.

In the weeks priorto New Years, most omy conversations wentsomething like this: Shiny-Happy Person: so what youare doing or New Years Evethen? Me: Nothing. SlightlyLess Shiny-Happy Person:Nothing, they respondconused. How can you notbe doing anything? It wasa night not much diferent

than a typical Friday orSaturday night, you mightcounter.

Although to many, NewYears Eve was regarded bymost people as somethingspecial when the act is, its

gigantically over hyped,over-priced and somethingthat rarely delivers much

more than a massive holein your wallet - and athumping headache romall o the noise makers.Many people choose a NewYears resolution in somesort o celebration or thenew year, but many prove tobe unsuccessul in reachingtheir goal, even though theyhave a whole year.

And now all that is letis to wait another 300 somedays until we hear the words,Its New Year, bro! Its NewYear! Aaaaarrrggghhhh!!!

Its New Year, bro! For 2-3minutes again. New Years isa un event or many, but itseems to be over-rated orme. The same thing everyyear that never changes justisnt un.

One o the biggestcontroversies today isbetween diet soda andregular soda. Many drinkdiet soda over regular sodabeverages because theythink that since it doesnthave any calories that itmust be better. The true isthat diet soda is actuallyworse than the regularsoda. It can lead to manyproblems later on in oneslie. The our biggest onesare kidney damage, weightgain, tooth enamel decay,and bone loss.

In a 2009, NursesHealth Study o 3,256women, ound a 30%drop in the level o kidneyunction in the people whodrank two or more servingso diet soda a day. Evidenceis slowly arising, revealingthat the sweeteners usedin diet soda may scar thekidney tissue.

When you think diet,do you think o weight gain

as well? A study was donein 2005 at the University o

Texas Health Science Center,where they ound out thatthere was a 57.1% risk orobesity in those who drankdiet soda. Scientists thinkthis is because the sweettaste o diet soda alerts ourdigestive system that high-calorie oods should beollowing soon, resulting ina loss o appetite.

Now some peopleabsolutely love the way thatteeth look. Well, diet sodais proven to wear down theenamel.

This is caused by thephosphoric acid ound inmany diet sodas. It is moreoten ound in darker sodasthen lighter ones. Citricacid is another cause o theenamel decay. Our teethneed more care than simply

brushing them three timesa day!Without our bones,

we wouldnt be able tomove a whole lot. Dietsoda is related to boneloss which is caused bythe phosphoric acid. This

acid causes calcium in yourbloodstream to be excretedmore quickly than normal.

Diet soda has manyother efects linked to it.

There are some reportedcases about cancer as well.Diet soda is one major thingthat you should stay awayrom. Many think that dietsoda is better because ithas zero calories but itsworse. Any soda is bad orthe body, and everyone isbetter of with drinking therecommended 8 glasses owater.

[email protected]

Time Magazine recentlyreleased their list o thetop 10 ction novels o theyear. Authors include J.K.Rowling, Ben Fountain,Chris Ware, and 7 others,including John Green. TheFault in our Stars by JohnGreen tops the list as thenumber 1 novel o the year,and proudly stands abovethe rest. Green himselexpressed his excitement

on his YouTube channelshared with his brother,Vlogbrothers, saying that hecouldnt believe he toppedthese other authors. TheFault in our Stars is a novelthat will keep the readertruly engaged, as JohnGreen knows his way withwords.

The #1 New YorkTimes bestseller givesthe audience somethingcompletely new. In his mostrecent novel, readers arerst introduced to main

character Hazel Lancaster,who soon meets AugustusWaters at a Cancer supportgroup. Augustus showsHazel a new way o living,something that she hasbeen avoiding her wholelie. TFIOS is a romancenovel, with two teenagersalling in love, but is alsoa tragedy that will afectreaders. Allyssa Hernandez,senior, comments, Hazeland Augustus are the mostgenuine characters Ive everread. When you read the

book they actually seemlike real teenagers, because

John Green gets teenagersso well its a little spooky.Allyssa Hernandez isactually one o John Greensbiggest ans. John Greentakes on the viewpoint o ateenage girl and plays therole quite well throughoutthe book.

John Green is alsoknown or Looking for

Alaska, which is the 2005novel that has contributedmuch to his success. Manymay be quite surprised tolearn that this is his rst

novel, as he shows suchstrength or writing thatmany authors take years toacquire. Green was awardedthe 2006 Michael L. PrintzAward or Looking for Alaska,and nominated or othervarious awards. The novelengages the reader in Mikeslie, who is nicknamedPudge, as he starts his newlie at the boarding school.

The novel has receivedsome controversy but o, it istaught in many high schoolsand college curricula. It

has even been publishedin more than teenlanguages.

Vlogbrothers is theYoutube channel sharedbetween John Green and hisbrother Hank Green. Theytake turns uploading videoson any sort o subject; theyare rarely seen togetherbecause they live indiferent states. The videosshow that they are just likeeveryone else. They dontmake the videos to promotetheir selves, but they make

these videos because theywant to. Subjects include

Black Friday, voting,growing up, and manyother random things thatthe brothers choose to talkabout. Viewers love to seethese guys be themselvesin ront o the camera. Mosto these subscribers andviewers are those o theNerdghters. John Greenexplains that everyone canbe a nerdghter, all theyneed to do is ght againstsuck.

John Green is one o thegreatest authors the world

will stumble upon. AllyssaHernandez says, JohnGreen is a great personand an even greater writer.John Green describes howI eel perectly, Sometimes,you read a book and itlls you with this weirdevangelical zeal, and youbecome convinced that theshattered world will neverbe put back together unlessand until all living humansread the book.

Forming together romL.A. since 1991, there hasbeen a band who makes

their voices heard. RageAgainst the Machine is arock band that has opinion

against politics, social is-sues, and world news, andproudly voices it or theworld to hear. Rage com-poses o American rapper,poet, musician, and activ-ist Zack de la Rocha is thevocalist, with bassist TimCommerord, guitarist TomMorello and drummer BradWilk. The two main orces

in the band are da la Rocha

(whose Chicano ather wasa political activist and artistknown as Beto), and TomMorello whose uncle, JomoKenyatta, was the Kenyanreedom ghter who wenton to become the countrysrst president. His parentswere involved in the civilrights movement, and his

political education beganearly when the KKK hung anoose outside his athersgarage. People have notedRage Against the Machineor its ercely polemi-cal music, which brewedsloganeering letist rants

against corporate America,cultural imperialism, and

government oppressioninto a Molotov cocktail ohardcore punk, hip hop, al-ternative metal, and unk.

Their sel-titled albumwas released in 1992. It wasreleased when hip hop andhard rock were very popu-lar, and with this album,they created a new stylesoon to be known as rap-

rock. Their rst album isconsidered to be one o thegreatest albums o all time.Rage Against the Machineintroduced their views withtheir lyrics o social inequal-ity, with many o their songsdiscussing racism and gov-

ernmental control. Rage hasthousands and thousands

o ans, but many are un-aware that they are con-veying a message. Severalmay look to Rage as havinggreat music to rock out to,but once one pays attentionto the lyrics, they becomeaware that Rage has strongpolitical belies.

With Rage Against theMachines powerul lyrics,

and talented instrumen-

tal sound, makes this bandworth a listen. For thosewho havent heard them,you wont be disappointed.

Riverhawk Review - Twin Falls, ID - Tuesday, January 15, 2013 8Arts &Entertainment

Red Dawn starts out

with clips describing world

events shortly beore the

lm itsel takes place. The

economies o all o the Eu-

ropean countries are on theverge o collapsing. North

Korea has joined the Union

between China, Russia, and

other East-Asian countries

and continues to test the

patience o America and our

allies. Obama, Biden, and

Clinton proceed to verbally

accuse North Korea.

Then the movie itsel

starts and we meet a U.S.

Marine named Jed Eckhert

who is on leave in Spokane,

Washington, where he

grew up. He is staying with

his dad, Tom, who is a lo-

cal Police Sergeant and his

brother Matt who is on the

local high school ootball

team. Ater Matts team, the

Wolverines, lose they headhome and the power goes

out. The next morning they

are woken up by items in

the house shaking and run

outside to see North Kore-

an paratroopers dropping

onto the town. An F-16 ies

overhead and shoots one

o the transport jets down.

Their dad tells them to get

to their cabin in the woods

just outside o town while

he does what he can to ght

the invasion, even though

the local police are clearly

out matched. Jed and Matt

save some other teens in-

cluding Robert Morris, Da-

ryl Jenkins, and Pete beore

they nd their way to the

cabin.In the process they are

engaged by North Korean

soldiers who they proceed

to run over. The North Ko-

rean commander in the re-

gion named Captain Cho

and some soldiers show

up with Tom and the May-

or, Daryls dad. They use a

megaphone to tell them to

come out o the woods and

that no one will be harmed

i they do. They hand the

megaphone to Tom who

tells his Matt and Jed to do

what he would do and kill

Cho, who executes Tom. Jed

says that he is going to ght

or his dads memory and

or their country and that

the others are welcome tojoin him, even though it will

be horrible and bloody rom

the beginning. They name

themselves the Wolverines

ater their high school mas-

cot.

As they ght using

guerilla warare, the North

Koreans receive a Spetznaz

unit rom Russia. Jed says

that Spetznaz operatives

specialize in counter-insur-

gency, which means they

are denitely there to stop

the Wolverines.

While they lose some

members, they kill Cho and

get the phone. On the way

out, Daryl is stabbed by the

Spetznaz commander with

a tracker that they use tond the Wolverines. Daryl

later nds out he is being

tracked and so he has the

rest o the Wolverines leave

him behind.

In the end, the Marines

get the phone to Central

Command and the Wolver-

ines ree people rom pris-

ons and get them to join

their cause, with Matt as the

leader.

Book Reviews

There are tons o videoso ash mobs online, butwho has ever witnessedone? On January 8, 2013,Canyon Ridge experiencedtheir rst ash mob. Itoccurred during both lunchperiods, and shocked thosesitting at their lunch tables.

Those in the ash mob werethe students o Mrs. Beansadvertising classes, who

joined together to put onthe event.The idea o the ash

mob was to advertisesomething, and thestudents agreed to promotesel-acceptance. Thosein the ash mobs had toactually accept themselvesto even get up and dancein ront o everyone! Eachperiod, 6 and 8, spent theirclass time in a un way.Dancing! The studentswould move out o theirseats and to the ront o the

room to practice their dancemoves. Mrs. Bean worked

with the class to come upwith songs to dance to. Thedance routine was made upo the students choices, ILike to Move It, Dynamite,Gangnam Style, Jump OnIt, Bird is the Word, and orthe girls, Call Me Maybe.

Ater weeks opracticing, the day hadnally arrived. The ashmob was released early toget their lunch (i they couldeat rom all the nerves) andwaited or the music to

start at a lunch table. Eachmember o the ash mobblended in perectly, leavingeveryone unaware. Thestudents o Canyon Ridgewere at lunch and it was anormal day, until they heardmusic. People surroundingstudents started to standup with signs, and the lunchroom went dead quite. Alleyes were drawn to thosestanding. The rst songthat caused the ash mobto come into view wasFergie saying Lets get it

started. As the ash mobput down their signs, they

then broke out into dance.Dancing to I Like to MoveIt, people realized what washappening.

People were amazedthat a ash mob wasoccurring during lunch,causing many to pull outtheir phones to lm thedancing. Vince Burke lmedthe event walking throughthe ash mob, getting aclose up view. Ater Bird Isthe Word, the boys wentback to their seats, leaving

the girls to nish the danceroutine. The girls all dancedto Call Me Maybe, andater that, they went back totheir lunch table, almost asi nothing happened. Withthis, the students cheeredtheir approval.

Kalise Dudley, senior,was a part o the Advertisingash mob. She commentsthat her avorite part o thedancing was, the middlepart. I like the dancesmoves. Kalise tells that shewould do this again and

that, I was nervous at thebeginning, but it got easier

halway through. Kaliseamong many were nervousas the time neared, but itseemed to get much easierwith others dancing by theirside. Julie White, senior, wasalso involved in the ashmob. She was also nervousgoing into it, but she admitsit was un. I messed up alot even though the dancemoves were easy, Julie sayswith a smile. She actuallycompiled the music letogether or the ash mob.

Julie also comments with,I think its really cool to beable to say Ive been in aash mob.

The advertisingclasses did somethingquite out o the box or aproject! They were able tosend out a message to theentire student body, whichis quite a brave thing to do.

The class and Mrs. Bean areboth very happy with theoutcome. Watch out or theadvertising classes! Theymight have something else

up their sleeves.
