Concerts: HOT & DANGEROUS (Un)valuable women in the media
Nicole Hay
Staff Writer
Music is one of the greatest joys in
life for many. Hearing a favorite band
play live is a highlight and a goal for
most teens. With hit artists’ concerts
selling out in mere seconds, only
the luckiest of fans get the privilege
of seeing their idols in the flesh.
But as many people know, concerts
can be addictive. Once a person has
felt the bass, heard the screaming
crowd and seen their favorite artist
perform, there is no going back to
listening to it normally again. But are
concerts a good investment for teens?
Ever since the 1960s and the beatnik/
hippie movement, music has been at
the center of teenage culture. In the
next several months, teen sensations
Taylor Swift, Ke$ha, and Katy
Perry are all going to perform in the
Portland area and chances are the
largest portion of the audience will
be teenagers. But the cheapest tickets
A
S
B
L
e
t
t
e
r
for Ke$ha are selling at $117. That
is over thirteen hours of work at a
minimum wage job for one night of
entertainment. Yet the tickets are still
selling out because for many, it is worth
the cost to see their idol perform live,
creating memories that will last forever.
However, are the memories worth
the health risks involved in attending
concerts? In the decade between 1992
to 2002, over 230 people were killed
because of violence at concerts. Quite
popular among teenagers are the heavy
metal concerts characterized by mosh
pits and violence which account for
nearly all the injuries and deaths at
concerts. For people who get out of
the concert supposedly unharmed, the
loud music can still cause damage to
hearing, causing permanent side-effects.
Parents and teens need to be aware of
the dangers and potential consequences
of the concerts kids are attending.
Families should know the potential
consequences of sending their kids off
to see their favorite music act. Concerts
can provide invaluable memories,
but people need to know the risks
they face by merely attending them.
Fellow Papermakers,
Throughout the course of the year you have continued to impress
me. Whether it is academically, athletically, through clubs, projects, or
school assignments, you all have brought back the red and black and
represented Camas in a positive manner. Therefore, to start off this
letter, I would like to thank all of you.
Looking back, Snoball took place on February 12 this year and was
a huge success. Senior Class President Raya Klein spearheaded this
year’s winter formal incorporating the theme ‘Glow in the Snow’. We
had a little over four hundred people in attendance.
The month of March is sure to bring some excitement to CHS. Its
time to bring back Prides of March, a program in which we will try to
recognize YOU for all the things you do to make CHS a powerhouse
academically and athletically and otherwise. Be on the lookout for
your name to appear on a poster or two in the CHS halls during
March.
Moreover, in an effort to showcase your abilities there will be a
talent show on March 18th. If you would like to perform in this talent
show there will be sign ups at lunch. Admission to the event is free so
bring your friends, bring your parents and bring the dog!
ASB and Class elections will also be held during the month of
March. If you are interested in running more information is available
in Mrs. Anderson’s office. With that, I’d like to remind you that your
ASB/Leadership representatives are always ready to listen if you have
any suggestions to better our school.
Go Papermakers,
Lucas Smith

More popular than songs about
money, and more frequent than the
concept of love, songs relay and
describe explicit acts in the utmost
detail. As if parents do not have a
problem with this already, often
times these songs display women in
a negative light. In music videos, they
bow down to every man’s command
in provocative verses. Women
are no longer depicted as merely
the opposite sex, but as objects.
Referring to women in a degrading
nature is clearly not the way to her
heart. Rappers like Lil Wayne and
Birdman, among other artists, have
created music that captures listeners
and reels them in. Yet, along with
rapping about how cool they think
they are, and how much money they
have managed to earn over the course
of 24 hours, they also have besmirched
women by referring to them in
degrading situations and calling them
explicit names. While these recording
artists may have women falling all
over them every second of the day,
the fact that they are famous rarely
crosses teenage boys’ minds who
begin to believe that all women are
like that. Newsflash: these musicians
do not know what they are talking
about. In reality it is not that easy.
Pop artist P!nk sings, “What happened
to the dream of a girl President? She’s
dancing in the video next to 50 Cent,”
in her hit single “Stupid Girls” from
early 2006. While fans of the single
may have been jamming along, lipsinging every line, they may have failed
to miss the meaning of the song. Have
the ambitions of young girls dropped
due to the negative connotations
that they instantly receive due to the
words and raps of the music industry?
Women have worked hard to earn
the same rights and privileges as men,
yet the negative connotations that they
receive from the music industry are not
helping lead them to their full potential.
The image of women that is portrayed in
these music videos is not fair to women
or men. In reality, women do not look
like that, and they certainly do not act
in that manner, throwing themselves
all over men and acting with no selfrespect, traits that some men have come
to expect. And with male expectations so
unrealistic, how can girls possibly fulfill
such wants without sacrificing their
own self-respect? Fact: they cannot.
The only way out of the circle is to set
the bar high, and live up to expectations
that value women, not degrade them.
Teens in the workforce
Maddie McKercher
Staff Writer
According to Teens in the Workforce:
Issues and Controversies, over 80
percent of high school students hold
a job in either their junior or senior
year. Although, many adults believe
that putting teenagers in the workforce
distracts them from their schoolwork,
even deeming employment unsafe
for students, clearly this is not the
case. In fact, it has been proven that
teens who are employed are less
likely to use drugs and alcohol or
be involved in gangs because they
have something constructive to do.
In addition to the salary that most
teens use to pay for cars, clothes, and
entertainment, students gain a lot
from having jobs. At this point in their
lives, many teens have been cared for
and “baby-sat” by their parents and

teachers, never really having to do a
lot of things for themselves. Jobs can
help teens with prioritizing skills and
time management. Being employed
shows students that part of growing up
is being responsible, which will help
them transition into the adult world.
Furthermore, the money that students
earn can be put toward future endeavors,
like college courses. The skills gained
at a job attained in high school can also
be useful when looking for other jobs
later on. For example, starting a career
at an early age can help one decide
what they like and what they may
choose for their future profession. Jobs
also teach responsibility. Employers
usually look for employees with job
experience, even if it is in a different
field. Having a job can earn a teen
lots of respect from adults because it
shows responsibility and maturity.
Although it may seem like a big
workload, a job is what most teenagers
need to smoothly integrate themselves
into the adult world of independence.

Mystery Meat Censorship :
Mariana Espiritu
Staff Writer
Eating fast food is a common
custom in America because it is
easy and affordable. Anybody
could walk in and order a number
seven meal from McDonalds. Who
would not want a full meal for only
five dollars? But does the average
person know what is inside their
bun or tortilla? Most fast food
places do not use 100 percent real
meat. What does meat even mean to
society anymore? Is it all-natural,
fresh, organic, and farm-bred
cows? Or is it all from a big industry
slaughterhouse that uses all parts
of the cow and foreign substances?
Recently, Taco Bell has been
sued because their meat was
found to be only 35 percent real
beef. This raises the question of
what the remaining 65 percent is
made of. It is actually a mixture
of beef, water, seasoning [isolated
oat product, salt, chilli pepper,
onion powder, tomato powder,
oats (wheat), soy lecithin, sugar,
spices, maltodextrin, soybean
oil (anti-dusting agent), garlic
powder, autolyzed yeast extract,
citric acid, caramel color, cocoa
powder (processed with alkali),
silicon dioxide, natural flavors,
yeast, modified corn starch,
natural smoke flavor], salt, sodium
phosphate. If that is a mouthful
already, there is also some caramel
color and natural smoke flavor
added for enhancement. All of
this foreign substance enters a
person’s body when they believe
they are eating just “meat.”
Now here is a burning question:
why is it that it is so much cheaper
to use fillers than to use 100
percent beef? Why would it save
money? Well, if one wants a dollar
menu burger, then they get what
they paid for. Using all beef cost
so much more, but with fillers such
as soybean oil and corn starch,
it makes the process cheaper.
Products like those are easier
to use with little beef, meaning
that companies can ration out the
remainder of the 65 percent beef to
make more “meat” and save money.
Knowing what is in the
foods most people consume is
important. Living healthy might
be a stretch for most people, but
it is obtainable. It is better for
one to eat healthy and spend a
little more money than to eat bad
foods, and spend all the money on
health insurance and hospital fees.
Cheaters never prosper
Cait Pudlitzke
Staff Writer
Tap three times on the desk.
Touch arms and pass a note. Look
up and tilt to the side in order to
barely see the small “A” circled
on another kid’s paper. Somehow
the teacher does not see, somehow
all the students in science class
know what is going on, and no one
will say a thing. Tests get handed
back, and surprise surprise, 100
percent. The best part? They will
get away with it. But is that right?
Cheating is a serious, but somehow
unpunished crime, that continues to
occurs day after day, test after test.
Cheating can mean different
things to different people. For
some, cheating on a test is slightly
tilting a paper to help out a fellow
classmate. Some see it as having
answers on a note card kept in
a pocket. Whatever cheating is
defined as, it is wrong and outright
immoral. Being the smart kid in class
can be frustrating. Everyone always
comes up to their desk, begging for
last night’s homework that they did
not have time to do because their
mom is in the hospital or they “fell
asleep.” Really now? In a study
done by U.S. News and World
Report found that 51 percent of
high school students did not believe
cheating was wrong. Furthermore,
95 percent of cheating high school
students said that they had not been
caught cheating on any exams. Not
only are kids getting away with
cheating, but they will continue to
do so until shown that it is wrong.
But what do teachers classify
as “cheating?” Plagiarism, taking
someone else’s work and using
it as their own, is classified as
cheating. But if a kid is out sick
and copies a friends notes, is that
cheating? There is a difference
between missing work and just
plain not doing it. Cheating on tests
and assignments can start at a very
young age. It has been recorded
that most students begin cheating
in middle school.
Education
Portal recorded that 9 out of 10
middle school students cheat on
tests. Fostering such a bad habit
at a young age can make it last a
lifetime. College students are also
notorious for their ludicrous display
of academic dishonesty. According
to Education Portal, “75 to 98
percent of college students surveyed
each year admit to cheating at some
time in their academic careers.”
However, most of the cheating that
was admitted and recorded was in
either a math or science based class.
Overall, students recognize that
cheating is indeed bad. They are
also starting to realize that the
punishments for doing such could
be as low as detention, to something
more drastic and impactful such as
expulsion. Bottom line, cheating
is dishonest, immoral and can
lead to bad habits later in life.

Imagine a world in which the
government controls the lyrics in
every song, the content in every last
movie and TV show, and even the
information communicated in books
and newspapers throughout the
country. This, boys and girls, is the
world of censorship. Here in America
there is a little agency known as the
Federal
Communications
Commission
(FCC).
The FCC has the
power to enforce
regulations on U.S.
broadcast media, such as
radio and television. The
problem is that censorship
may lead to a wrong image
perceived by the public. In
addition, the government
can use media censorship
as a way of controlling its citizens.
Every day media is being
censored to ensure the “wellbeing”
of youngsters. But what people are not
realizing is that most teens experience
more references to sex, drugs, and “bad
words” in everyday life than in the
media. This is reality! The media is a
mere reflection on things that actually
happen. Real problems, real emotions,
real life. Whether the media is censored
or not, the behavior of teens is not going
to change. In fact, censorship could
have a negative effect on teenagers.
Being exposed to real issues in

Shielding the
public from reality
society is vital to one’s ability to form
opinions and make educated decisions.
Taking away that exposure would
result in citizens who are oblivious to
what is really going on in the world.
Censorship is so powerful that it
can be used to control entire countries.
For example, in Egypt, protests were
evoked by frustration over government
corruption, a depressed economy, and
a lack of political freedom. Websites
such as Twitter and Facebook were
often used by protestors to organize
demonstrations. In an effort to crack
down on these street protests, the
Egyptian
government
limited internet and
mobile phone services.
By January 28, 2011, the
internet was completely
shut down. If the fact that
the government even has
the ability to shut down
an entire country’s internet
is not shocking enough,
listen to this: the U.S. is
getting ready to reintroduce a bill
that would give the president the
power to seize control of and even
shut down the internet in the event of
an emergency. What? This is America!
What happened to freedom of speech
and all that jazz? This goes against
the very foundations of a democratic
society. People should control the
government, the government should
not control the people. The bottom
line is that whether it is bleeping out
“bad words” or shutting down the
entire internet, censorship gives the
government way too much power.
the virtual frontier
Deborah Lubanga
Advertising Manager
The Wild West of the 1800s has
always been synonymous with
no limits and no laws. Separated
by miles of open terrain from
“civilization,” the individualistic
cowboys of the unsettled western
frontier had the chance to make and
break the rules as they went along.
Fast forward two centuries later, and
Americans are embarking on yet
another untamed area: The Internet.
With the ironclad shield of the First
Amendment, nearly anything goes
in this new Wild West; however,
there are some basic and unspoken
etiquette for the online frontier.
There are cases where an innocent
comment or post is misinterpreted,
but some people purposely post
offensive things just to get a rise
out of others. No matter how clever
or witty something like a sexist
or racist joke may seem, it falls
under the category of “inviting
trouble.” In other words, the
person knows what they are saying
is controversial or offensive, yet
essentially welcomes the impending
backlash with open arms. Although,
the internet gives people the chance
to express themselves to a wide
audience, it does not give them the
right to rudely offend that audience.
For those that are not the source
negative energy on the internet, they
can still be affected by it. Posting
a personal status on a public forum
leaves one’s private life vulnerable
to public scrutiny. Those tell-it-likeit-is friends and tactless strangers
will give their two cents regardless
of whether it was asked for or not.
Everyone judges, it is just that some
individuals are more vocal and less
nice about it. So either develop a
thick skin or just do not post personal
things. As for those negative and
judgmental people out there, they
need to ask themselves whether
they would actually say some of
the things they do from behind
the safety of a computer screen in
person. Just because their identity is
thinly veiled by the anonymity of a
user name, does not mean they have
free rein to be an insensitive jerk.
Although internet users may have
seemingly unabridged freedom in
this new Wild West, it is not quite
the same limitless and lawless land
as the old one. The internet is a
virtual frontier, but these cyber
cowboys still need to practice
common sense and common courtesy.

The Camasonian
Glow in the snow: Camas DECA off to State
Rachel Trautman
Staff Writer
Snoball left its attendees still
quite satisfied in spite of the reduction of student turn out, due to basketball state championships games
on February 12, 2011. “Glow in the
Snow” was just the right theme for
this time of the season, as the various dress styles and several new
traditions were spectacular. The
entrance was decorated with tons
of color, with paper lanterns hanging across the walkways. The colors
themselves got the party excited and
lively. The most exciting addition
was the literal term of “glowing in
the snow.” No one knew what to expect; most assumed they were going to resort to the overplayed glow
sticks: but when they said snow, they
meant snow. Every time the crowd
would get going and scream and
be pumped up the snow machines
would go off. The machines let out
a substance that looked like almost
an exact replica of snow. The white,
soapy substances would hit the surface and would glow weather on the
skin, dress, floor or face. This magical looking covering could be seen
adoring these items from miles away.
The DJ took a new look on things,
Snoball 2011
not only with his style, but Camas
High schools way of doing things
too. There was a large screen where
various music videos could be seen
playing. This was a nimble addition
because if anyone was to get a little lost, or get a little nervous, they
could take advantage of the choreographers on the screen to match
up their moves with those in the
video. They played all kinds of new
hits, and the crowd went wild when
“Whip my Hair” by Willow Smith
was played. She may be young
but she got the crowd bumping in
a new way. Toward the middle of
the dance there was a parting in the
croud to jam to the hit “Teach Me
How to Dougie” by the Cali Swag
District. It was an easy way for everyone to show off some “swag,”
and add their own twist on showing
off how they dance to the dougie.
Snowball is known for being a
couple orientated dance, yet this
year the DJ and ASB made an atmosphere easy for anyone, single or not,
to have a blast. Whether it was the
funky new dress styles, decorations,
or the different styles of music played
throughout the night, the crowd
seemed to enjoy every last bit of it.
This dance a perfect goodbye to winter and a welcomed hello to spring.

Camas High School’s renowned
DECA students competed a few
weeks ago in the Area 9 DECA
Conference in Longview, Washington. With high anticipation from the
school and community about their
success this year, they represented
the Papermakers well in a series of
role plays, marketing assessment
tests, and written projects. Senior
Parker Roland explains, “We left
at seven in the morning for Area 9,
once we were there we each waited
for our allotted time to either take
the 100 question test or role play for
the category we signed up for earlier
in the year.” Some of the categories
included hospitality, apparel marketing, and business services. Roland
continued, “I’m always a little nervous going into the role play, but as
soon as I read the prompt my nerves
settle down. DECA has made me
more confident in front of crowds
and has helped me learn to think on
my feet.” The student’s hard work
and dedication to the program was
a key ingredient to their successes.
An overwhelming 55 students were
recognized from our school alone for
their achievements in DECA and 40
students have qualified for the DECA
state competition that will take place
March 3rd-5th in Bellevue, Washington. If any of these representatives are seen around school, make
sure to congratulate them on their
success. Keep up the good work.
Poetry Out Loud competition
Anthony Utehs
Photography Editor
Poetry is the ultimate way to express one’s self through words. It is
an art form with limitless boundaries and Poetry Out Loud exposes
students to it. Reciting poetry allows
students to improve public speaking
abilities, understanding of literature,
and overall perceptive of poetry. The
Poetry Out Loud competition also
grants a $20,000 scholarship to the
national winner. Thanks to Teri Nyquist, the opportunity to participate
in this nation-wide competition has
come to Camas High School. Because
of Nyquist’s efforts, Camas English
classes are exposed to poetry and as
a result, have a deeper understanding and appreciation for this art form.
Poetry Out Loud is a classroombased contest that seventeen English
classes throughout the high school
had for an assignment. It was started
by the National Endowment for the
Arts (NEA) and the Poetry Foundation. Teachers in each of these
classes picked two individuals that
they thought were the best for the
school-wide competition. Thirty four
students were chosen to compete in
this and the top two were chosen to
move on to districts, with the third
place winner as an alternate. After the
school competition, there are regional’s, state, and finally, national’s. The
top two winners of the school competition were Hope Nakamichi and Eden
Pollock. The third place alternate was
Brie Anderson. Unfortunately, neither of the school finalists moved on
to regional’s, but they performed great
and displayed a deep understanding
of poetry through their recitations.
Poetry is a crucial element to English classes. It stimulates the creative
thinking of students. Instead of having them think rationally, it forces
them to think outside the box and interpret meaning and display it through
voice inflection and body language. It
steps outside the routine persuasive
essays and comprehensive reading. It
is necessary to think logically but also
creatively. As Teri Nyquist says, “The
program continues to impress all the
teachers that are participating in it.”

Challenge Day 2011: making a difference and becoming the change
Maddie McKercher
Staff Writer
As students awkwardly stumbled
through a tunnel of excited parents
and administrators they are wondering
one thing: “What have I gotten myself into?” However, what starts out
as an uncomfortable introduction turns
into a life changing experience for all.
After breaking the ice with a few group
games, Challenge Day gets emotional.
Students are broken up into “small family groups” with three or four other students as well as an adult facilitator. Each
person is given a chance to complete
the tagline sentence of this program: “If
you really knew me, you would know
that..” At this point, individuals really
open up to others in their group. People
often share things they normally do not

Liberty theater
Reopening
Lindsay Weinberg
Staff Writer
On June 14, 1927, the Granada Theater in Camas, Washington opened for
the first time. Rumors say the theater
was very luxurious, costing about half
as much inside as the whole building,
including a $12,000 organ and $6,000
spent on seats alone. After a fire in
1994, the owners spent $600,000 to
fix it up. Then the smaller theater was
added in 1999 to showcase movies
once they moved off the main screen.
Later the Granada Theater changed
its name to the Liberty Theater. After
82 years, on September 7, 2009, the
operator Greg Wood closed its doors.
The Liberty Theater has been one of
the most noteworthy places in Camas, seeing as it is such a small town.
Liberty Theater has always been the
place to be for a movie night. Fortunately, this local theater will reopen
by Rootstock Capital Management
projected to be in mid March 2011.
According to the Post-Record, the
new managing director will be Rand
Thornsley, who is currently the President of The Anchorage International
Film Festival. Adam Thornsley and
Paul Rogers also make up the corporation. The tentative grand opening date is set at Saturday, March 19.
Fingers are crossed all across Camas
in hopes that this date will come fast.
While some may remember cruising in downtown Camas and seeing the marquee flash titles of new
releases, the new operators say it
will be a little different. Their website notes, “While the Liberty will
be programmed with top-notch
films from Hollywood, we will also
bring you special films with an international flair, world class dramas,
comedies and documentaries. There
will be film festival style programming including outdoor recreational
and environmental film screenings.”
When new movies are released nationally, they will not appear on the
screen for three to seven weeks. One
reason for this is to keep the prices
low – tickets will only cost $3.50.
One thing that is changing? The
building. It is reported that soon renovations and upgrades will be made
to the balcony, in addition to a small
restaurant and alcoholic drinks. Yes,
the snack bar will still be there, but
some gourmet desserts and sandwiches will be added to the assortment of popcorn, soda, and candies.
As for the smaller theater, it may become more of an “intimate theater,”
Thornsley said. One thing Liberty
Theater is famous for is its history,
so the old 35mm projector will still
be used. Everyone is glad Liberty’s
lights will be back on soon, welcoming Camasonians young and old.

students refer to as “Crossing the Line.”
There were two parallel lines laid out
on the floor, and everyone stood on one
side. The leader called out different situations and if the category applied to
you, you crossed the line. Junior Brianna Ranck states, “It was very emotional
and made you realize how many people
go through the same issues you do.”
Overall, the impact Challnge Day
had on its participants was amazingly
positive. Sophomore Julie Swisher
states, “I am so grateful to be given the
opportunity to participate in Challenge
Day. It was really cool to see how everybody opened up and that we are all
in this together.” Freshamn Richard
Radetsky felt the same way, saying, “A
lot of people had the same problems
as I did, so it made it easy and comfortable for me to open up.” However,
the changes made at Challenge Day do
not have to remain with only the students who attended the workshop. The
goal is to spread the positive feelings
throughout the entire CHS community.
If the goal is to be completed, everyone
has to work together to be the change.
Camas Book Drive:
“Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened.”
-Dr. Seuss
Deborah Lubanga
Advertising Manager
Since the late 1930s, youngsters all over the world have
grown up reading the rhymefilled stories pended by the beloved Dr. Seuss. Although he
was never a real doctor, Seuss
has made such a profound impact on children’s literature.
Reading his whimsical stories is
practically a rite of passage. So,
naturally, a holiday dedicated to
childhood literacy falls on his
birthday. Schools, libraries, and
individual bookworms have been
celebrating Read Across America every March 2 for the past
thirteen years. In honor of this
informal holiday, the CHS Key
Club is collecting books, which
will be donated to the Children’s
Book Bank in Gresham, Oregon.
Volunteers at the Book Bank
will use them to assemble individual gift bags for children who
may not have the opportunity or
means to get books of their own.
Students are encouraged to
drop off new or gently used children’s books in the school library throughout the first three
weeks of March.
Key Club
member Andrea Saechao, who is
helping to spearhead the drive,
has commented that, “As high
schoolers, we have outgrown
our childhood books, which are
now collecting dust on the tops
of our bookshelves. So take
this opportunity to let current
children read the stories of your
youth.” Any book in good condition is most appreciated; however, please refrain from donating encyclopedias or textbooks.
Instead, consider bringing in
picture or simple chapter books
that children will love. Stories
written in Spanish would also
be an appropriate donation.
In addition to collecting book
donation, Key Clubbers will be
promoting reading throughout
the month of March. Member Cassidy Hines has taken
the lead in setting up “Read
Weeks” at Lacamas Elementary.
Each week of March will have
a different book theme for the
younger students, starting with
Dr. Seuss of course. It is very
important for young kids to develop good reading habits early
on, so these “Read Weeks” will
awaken their inner bookworms.
Although Read Across America is a one-day event, every
should make a little extra effort to spend sometime with a
good book this coming month.

Team is propelling its way
to
success.
On Saturday,
February 12,
the
Papermaker swimmers captured
the
district
title for the
fourth successive year during the 3A district swim
meet at Kelso High School. Camas
earned 368 points surpassing Mountain View’s 293 points. Ian Ulmer,
Jake Yraceburu, Kevin Li and Trent
Harimoto seized first place in the 200
meter relay. Nick Kabel won first
place in the 50 and 100 freestyle races.
Yraceburu was first in the 100 breaststroke and fourth in the 50 free. In
the 200 individual medley, five Cam-
as swimmers finished in the top ten.
The hard work and determination
of the swim team has resulted in many
other achievements throughout the season. The Camas boys won the Southwest Washington Invitational championship at Dick
Mealy Memorial Pool in
Longview. The
Papermakers racked up
509.5 points to
beat out Skyview (487.5),
Union (341.5),
and
eleven
other schools.
Photo Credit: Lauren Little Now the swim
team is looking forward to sending talented swimmers to compete at state.
Senior Sterling Haase commented that
his favorite part about the Camas swim
team is that “everyone is accepted and
given help to improve no matter their
skill level.” Haase encourages anyone
who is interested in swimming to try
out for the swim team next season to become a part of many more triumphant
championship performances to come.
Gymnastics 2011 kicked it up
a notch by making Camas High
School history. The team achieved
the highest team score ever in Camas High School Gymnastics. On January 22, the Papermakers crushed
the Evergreen Plainsmen with a
total score of 160.2. The girls continued their outstanding season going undefeated and competed for
the 2011 State title at the Tacoma
Dome on February 18 and 19. The
girls who are headed up to Tacoma
were Amanda Bolton, Ashley Gjserswold, Grace Giordano, Alicia Hamlin, Amy Siebenthaler and Hayden
Sutton. Siebenthaler was named the
All-Around Champion on January
22. She has continued her winning
streak with outstanding scores of
9.3 on floor exercise and an 8.5 on
vault. Her younger sister, Audrey, is
following in her sisters successful
footsteps. Audrey placed Second All
Around with a score of 33.6, Audrey
also took first on beam with a 9.0.
Along with the Siebenthaler sisters, Amanda Bolton is also taking titles and rocking the meets. In the meet
against Skyview, Bolton took third in
All Around scoring an 8.9 on floor
and 8.3 on vault. When interviewed
by the Camas Post Record, Bolton
had this to say, “I hope districts is
my greatest moment in high school.”
“When I went to state for the first
time, I cried because I was so excited. I would love for everyone to have
that same feeling.” Bolton also feels
that the girls could yet again reach
a score of 160. Her determination
and passion for her team will really
give her team mates an extra kick.
After the seniors graduate, juniors
Hayden Sutton, Grace Giordano,
and Nicole Dietzman are next up
in the legacy. All three girls have
outstanding scores on floor, beam,
bars, and vault. In the competition against Skyview, Sutton took
first all around with a 30.2, she
scored an 8.8 on floor and an 8.1
on vault. The Papermakers hope
to end their very successful season
with a win at state. Good luck girls.

Athlete diet plan Principal Marshall’s Top Athletes
Mariana Espiritu
Staff Writer
Every athlete wants to start off
strong, slim, and energized before
performing in big games. Skipping
meals is not an option, but avoiding, or choosing only a certain
type of food is not a healthy start
either. To start strong in the new
sport season, try this new diet plan.
Breakfast: A warm bowl of oatmeal can be deemed as the Breakfast
of Champions. Not only does it help
with school, but it provides energy
throughout the day as well, and even
helps maintain and lose weight. Oatmeal is also an “abdominal food,”
meaning it helps with the core. Try topping the oatmeal with fresh fruits with
a side of milk instead of sprinkling
sugar to maintain energy and weight.
Lunch: This time of day is where
one receives their necessary food intake for the day. Skipping lunch
is not an option for anybody, especially athletes who train after
school and students who have PE
the second half of the day. People
who bring cold lunch, try a roast
beef, ham, or chicken sandwich on
rye with cheese, lettuce, and tomatoes. For a snack, pack an apple, carrot sticks, fruit cups packed in juice, or
an orange. And for a drink, finish off
with a refreshing, cold bottle of water.
Snack before/after practice:
Everyone needs energy during practice, and especially the kids who eat an
early lunch. Bring a bottle of Gatorade.
Dinner: Finding the perfect dinner is hard when parents are the ones
who cook and prepare meals. For those
athletes whose families cook dinner,
eat whatever meal they provide, and
limit sodium intake to stay hydrated.
It can also be tricky to find a healthy
meal when the family eats at a fast
food regularly. Do not exclude fats
from a diet, but limit the intake. Try
restricting fast food places to once a
week, if not, once every two weeks.
Take in a daily allowance of sweets
and fats into a diet for a healthy balance, such as a rule that allows no more
than two to three sweets/fatty foods a
day, or do “calorie allowance,” permitting oneself to a daily intake of no
more than 200 calories of fats per day.
With a perfect balance of foods,
any athlete can start the season
healthy, strong, and ready to play.

Whether a person just likes to
watch the outrageous auditions or
follows the show from start to finish, there is no better way to kick
start the New Year than with a
new season of American Idol.
Viewers have been tuning in to
share the laughs, the tears, and
the witty comments of a certain British judge since 2002.
However, as season ten started
up this past January, Idol fans not
only had to deal with the shock of
seeing new faces, but unnecessary
changes to the competition as well.
From day one, Idol fans could
always count on Paula Abdul to get
overly emotional, Simon Cowell to
make a snarky remark, and Randy
Jackson to say, “Dawg.” Between
performances, Simon and Ryan
Seacrest would exchange snide remarks and backhanded comments.
It was great stuff. But with Simon
and Paula off the show, Randy is
the last of the original trio. How
is Steven Tyler supposed to fill Simon’s tight black t-shirts? He does
not even have a British accent to
voice
the
Idol was created to give everyday
people with raw and real talent a
chance to showcase their ability. In
a world ruled by auto-tune and
more
thoughts
of Americans’
inner music critic. As for
Jennifer Lopez, she could never
pull off Paula’s perky and slightly eccentric personality.
There
was a special kind of chemistry between the original judges,
and it just cannot be recreated.
d a n c e
moves than lyrics, it was nice to see some
genuine musicians, rather than
cookie-cutter entertainers. Unfortunately, this “new” Idol is much
more showy and less about the
music. The contestants now have
to focus more on marketing them-
selves instead of honing in on their
singing skills.
Whatever happened to getting back to the music?
What made American Idol so
popular in the first place was the
fact that it appealed amateur karaoke lovers of all ages. But in attempts to reel in a younger and
“hipper” audience for this new
season, show execs have lowered the age requirement from
16 to 15. The problem with
these talented ninth graders
is that they alienate the older audience. Besides, they
are more likely to be swallowed up by Disney Channel
and never be heard from again.
The only reasonable change
to Idol this season was to bypass
the Top 24 round, and heading
straight to the Top 12. It is not as
if Americans’ attention spans are
that long anyway. But abandoning
two-thirds of the original judges is
just too much for Americans’ fragile psyches. It was a shock to lose
Paula, but Simon Cowell, the judge
everyone loves to hate and hates to
love. Heaven forbid the day Ryan
says, “Seacrest out…for good.”

AT&T has finally lost its
exclusive grip on the iPhone.
Starting February 10, this
high tech device will be
available for sale at Verizon
stores everywhere. Many
people are predicting that
now Verizon will soon overtake long time competitor
AT&T. Now, both providers
will sell the phone for the
same price (currently $199),
but the cost of monthly service plans differ. Verizon will
be offering the combined
unlimited data, messaging,
and calling plan for about
$90 per month, while AT&T
will be offering the same for
about $105 per month. Some
speculate that AT&T will
have to improve their service
in order to keep up with this
drastic change. According to
Friday February 25, 2011
9
a poll on www.wsj.
com (Wall Street
Journal
online),
74% of people will
change their cell
phone provider when Verizon starts offering the
iPhone. Yet with already a
not-so-decent record, many
question whether AT&T
will be able to keep up with
Verizon’s already successful
start. Lots of people complain about AT&T’s sketchy
service, while Verizon has a
better track record. Luckily
for all the AT&T users out
there, it is predicted that
AT&T will be stepping up
their coverage to compete
with Verizon. Rumors concerning release of the phone
to Verizon have been surfacing everywhere for months
and now the secret is out.
Prepare for an out and out
battle between these two
carriers as the competition for customers begins.

The Luxe by Anna Godbersen
takes place in the 1800s when petticoats and carriages were the norm.
The heroine is teenager Elizabeth
Holland. In the wee beginning of the
prologue, the reader witnesses Elizabeth’s funeral, preparing for what
is to come. The story itself starts a
week earlier, during which time the
reader is trying to decide how Elizabeth will die. First Elizabeth is
forced by her mother to marry Henry
Shoonmaker, who was forced by his
father to marry Elizabeth. As pieces
of the puzzle come together, the story becomes even more complicated.
Maybe Henry will kill Elizabeth to
get out of their marriage. Or perhaps
Elizabeth will commit suicide to
avoid walking down the aisle. Then
we learn that Elizabeth is actually in
love with a servent named Will. But
so is Lina, another servent. Will she
go as far as murder to get Elizabeth
out of the picture? Penelope, one
of Henry’s mistresses, is a possible
contendor as well, because she wanted to marry Henry out of lust, and
was as terribly shocked by their engagement. At the heart of this mixed
up scene is Elizabeth’s younger sister, Diana. She is a free-will, one
who does not believe in being proper
and polite, but simply wants to have
fun! So we read about the crazy and
complex time these characters have
trying to sort out fantasy from reality. The question is not “how will
it end,” for we already know that.
The questions is “why will it end?”
What happens to Elizabeth Holland?
This book is the first in a series
of four, each picturing a girl in a
formal dress on the cover. The first
book, The Luxe, showcases Elizabeth. The second features Penelope,
followed by Diana and Lina. It was
a very suspenseful mystery book. A
review at yareads.com read, “Love
a good scandal? Then you’re going
to love this…This tale is overflowing with love, betrayal, deceit, and
all those other juicy things that made
the books we love so perfect. With
New York as its backdrop, The Luxe
follows the lives of five individuals
whose lives are more intertwined
than one could possibly imagine.”
