Fun on a Thursday Afternoon?
By Lillian Stout
On Thursday, Aug.
27 the entire school
body had a pool party
at the Etna City Pool.
This event was planned
by the EHS rally commissioners. What started as a roll of negative
comments and questions earlier in the
week actually turned
into “fun in the sun,” as
Tessa Hamann (sophomore) commented.
A splish splash of
fun and games came
into the act! First there
was the Double Team
Inner Tube Race, where
a team of two would
kick and paddle on a
tube from one end of
the pool to the other
and back. Mason Justice and Lee Wessel
(freshmen) participated
in this wild game and
they said, “We should
have won because
we’re just that skilled.”
The seniors were the
ones who won the inner
tube race.
“It’s a war!!” Quentin Del Carlo (sophomore) remarked as a
war broke out with
the fish out of the water, aka people not in
the pool. Freezing water was dunked on one
another and water balloons were scattered
across the Etna pool’s
grassy plain. A game of
water balloon toss and
volleyball were played
on the land. Then, there
was the Biggest Splash,
a competition where
you jump off the lifeguard station and try to
make a big splash. It really wasn’t a competition because it was just
for fun. Sadly, not very
many students participated in it.
After a very long
and cold group picture
we cleaned the pool
grounds of our high
school mess to be respectful. On the walk
back, one could hear
Eric Pelayo (sophomore)
diving into the inner tubes.
Henry Hanna (senior) acting as MC of the EHS pool party.
leb Morrill, Nathanael
Munn, Severin Pindell,
Parker Stewart, Delaney
Swanton, Jack Thackeray, Caden Thompson, Lane Towne, Katie Turner, and Dakota
Watton.
The tenth grade honorable mentions consisted of Grace Duerr, Haley Evans, Isaac Martin,
Victor McCloud, Quinn
McGonigal, Chainsaw
Morris, Abigail Nelson, and Anna Peaty.
Tenth grade honor roll
included Tania Burrone, Angelee Dowling,
Drew Eastlick, Megan
Menne, Claire Olson,
Jenna Rickey, and Mikayla Wilson.
This year’s seniors
(last year’s juniors) for
honorable
mentions
were Morgan Bahen,
Kortni Bennett, Jessenia Case, Kristin Evans, and Crystal Gottlieb. Eleventh grade
honor roll was Jennifer
Apland, Brenna Black,
Delaney Black, Tara
Burrone, Danielle Eiler,
Lauren Eldenburg, Henry Hanna, Frank Hurlimann, Makina Jones,
laughter and excitement
still echoing in the air.
There were footprints
on the road, piggy back
rides being given, and
smiles
everywhere.
“It’s ballin’, and I think
we should do it every
year, and I like seeing
people run around and
having fun,” said Payton Dickinson (junior).
Even though we all had
to go back to class and
just hang out, the day
and the event both ended on a happy note.

The Anime Club began in 2010 as a senior
project, but was abandoned and left behind
after the senior graduated; the club was soon
forgotten. Two seniors
started it back up last
year and are working
hard to keep it going
before they graduate.
This year the EHS
Anime Club resides
in Mr. Bahen's room
at Etna High School,
where people who are
interested in watching
anime, reading manga,
or learning about Japanese culture come and
unite under one roof.
They spend their lunchtime on Tuesdays and
Thursdays watching anime and talking about
different types of anime,
manga, and music.
The officers this year
are Colleen MacLeod
(senior) as president,
Tessa Hamann (junior)
as vice president, and

The club also consists
of chatting, laughing,
singing, dancing, and

(freshman) states, "It's
so much fun, I'm gonna
do this every year!" Indica Dunbar says, "We
started this club so that
students who wanted to
be themselves and have
a good time could come
together.”
There is a lot to do
within the club and
there are many different
types of people. Once
a month the club has
an informational meeting. If you would like to

Pro/Con Dollar General is Coming?

about the conflict of the

opinion.

ter, likes to see low prices when they are buying
milk or other products.
Having a Dollar General in Scott Valley will
be way more convenient than driving to
Yreka or Oregon to buy
necessities. It may hurt
other local businesses,
but most likely it won't
because our local businesses have been up and
running for so long, and
they already have loyal
customers. For people
with low income, Dollar
General will help them
save money. Having the
Dollar General will put
positive growth in Etna
and may open up job
opportunities for others.
The mayor of Etna,
Marilyn Seward, has
been mayor since November 2014 and she
says, “I love Scott Valley and I am convinced
it is not the buildings
that predict the future,
The Dollar General is
a new store being put
up in little Etna on the
south end of Scott Valley. The Dollar General will provide many
things to our little town,
such as jobs, less money
to spend, happy customers, and less travel. It
has become controversial to most people living in and out of Etna,
positive and negative.
One things for sure,
though, Dollar General
will make a positive impact on Scott Valley.
If you don't have a
lot of money for basic
items used for everyday
life, you'll be able to get
them at the new Dollar
General. Most prices
are less than ten dollars.
A good percentage of
the town and the rest of
the world, for that mat- Lillian Stout (freshman)
it's the people.” Mrs.
Seward stated that she
personally will still shop
at our local stores but
shall be shopping less
at far distance markets
such as Dollar Tree and
Rite Aid. Mrs. Seward
is a volunteer for the
Salvation Army and the
Family Resource Center in Fort Jones. With
this much volunteering
she’s known the valley and its people quite
a while. People have
very limited incomes,
and make $850-$950
a month with no food
stamps. “Having the
Dollar General will
be a blessing for these
people,” Mrs. Seward
added.
Dollar General will
be the market of the year
in Etna. Unemployment
rates are lower, which
means more people
will be able to get jobs.
Since we live in a free
market economy this
will be a great way to
make companies bigger and may bring others to Etna. For people
entering the workforce
for the first time, Dollar
General will provide basic work skills and training. Dollar General is
FFA Greenhand Conference
By Rawnie Hoover
Very early Monday
morning on Oct. 5, 16
FFA freshmen packed
into vans and headed
to Foothill High School
in Redding for the
Greenhand Leadership
Conference. A “greenhand” is a first year FFA
member. Although they
showed up a little late,
it didn’t stop them from
having fun!
At the conference,
they participated in
many exciting leadership-building activities
such as working together to create shapes
with ropes and helping
one another balance on
small mats to gain skills
useful for FFA, and they
got to meet a lot of new
people. Madison Jones
(freshman) stated, “The
conference was fun, and
I recommend it to next
year’s freshmen. I’m
happy I learned more
about FFA to help the
community.” After a
long, fun-filled day, the
EHS freshmen headed
back to the valley, tired
and filled with excitement for more FFA
memories.
well known for serving
others and they think
their customers are best
served when they keep
it real and keep it simple. They will employ
locals and that will help
the local economy.
Dollar General is going to be a new up-andcoming market to the
south side of Etna. It
will open up new job
opportunities and other happy community
qualities such as cheap
prices that the local
community will appreciate. Though there’s
been negative outpouring against the Dollar
General, the positive
has been stated and the
market is being built.

eral in their town. We
believe the Dollar General is a bad idea. This
interaction with Dollar
General will truly affect our town, and not
in a positive way. At
a recent city hall meeting held to discuss the
problem of letting Dollar General settle down
in our town, many
points were raised including the discussion
of how traffic, teenage
unemployment,
and
local businesses will
be affected by Dollar
General.
Dollar General is a
“bigger” type of store
that will really affect
the local businesses we
go to now. John Klukkert, the store manager
of Ray’s Market, expressed concern about
the Dollar General
to the Siskiyou Daily
News. He is worried that
Dollar General will take
business away from
Dollar General! Where
everything's a dollar or
less, coming soon to
your town. Would you
shop at the Dollar General store?
The City of Etna and
the local community
debated on whether or Elizabeth Hughett (freshman)
not to put a Dollar Gen- and Jasmine Rose (senior)
Ray’s. Small towns all
across the U.S. are opposing Dollar General.
Local businesses can’t
compete in price.
According to the Siskiyou Daily News, Dollar
General will sit on 1.5
acres of land zoned general business but would
be nearly surrounded by
land zoned as light manufacturing.
A resident of Etna expressed concern that if
the Dollar General is
too successful, then we
may have traffic issues.
Residents want to do
traffic tests but have to
wait. Many people think
they shouldn’t have to
wait.
As residents we should
not allow big box stores
and keep our community, a “community.” If
Dollar General is successful, then other major
businesses will get the
idea to come down and
see how successful they
will be. We all understand the convenience
of having a Dollar General, but the integrity,and
“small business” way of
our town is more important.
Are you for or against the Dollar
General coming to Etna?

School is the one
word every kid dreads
over the summer, but
on Monday, Aug. 24,
school began and everyone was ecstatic!
They walked through
the front doors of the
school with their class
schedules in hand and
locker numbers and
combinations, hopefully memorized. Senior
hallway was quiet as always, but freshmen-tojunior hallway buzzed
with
people.
New
classes were added to
the school schedule and
there was a rally on the
first day!
The rally consisted
of Mr. Evens (principal), Rylie Munn (senior), and sports coaches talking about what
the school year will, or
should, be like. The new
rally
commissioners
were also announced:
Delaney Black (senior),
Henry Hanna (senior),
and Payton Dickinson.
After the introductions
and talks between the
rally
commissioners,
the students were able
to play fun games.
One person from
each class got up and
walked to one of the
two tables on the right
side of the gym. Once
everyone was there the
commissioners told everyone the rules. The
students had to bounce
balls into plastic cups,
hop through and around
orange traffic cones,
bounce pencils into plastic cups, and pop balloons with their upper
bodies, but they could
not use their hands. The
order of winners came
in: senior, junior, freshman, and sophomores.
Bradley Buchter (freshman) stated, “I thought
it was interesting how
they started out with a
fun cheerful rally, and
I’m glad that they gave
the freshmen a shout
unlike other schools.”
On Thursday, Aug.
27, there was a pool
party, also put on by the
rally commissioners and
the principal, and it was
held at the Etna City
Pool. Everyone loved it
and had the best of times
swimming.
Students
participated in games
headed by the commissioners like volleyball,
water balloon fights,
and bean bag toss. With
so many things for the
classes and the teachers
to do, no one was bored,
and no one disliked the
day.
Students worked on
understanding the once
again new rules of the
high school and what
this school has to offer.
Everything was amazing and students went
and rocked their new
outfits.
Summer may have been
fun, but this year should
be more of a blast!

Etna FFA Dinner Auction
By Elizabeth Hughett
FFA had their 28th annual dinner auction on
Saturday, Oct 3. It started at 5 p.m. and ended
at 8:30 p.m. The program began with guests
getting a delicious meal,
consisting of deep pit
BBQ beef, salad, beans,
and a roll, then making
their way to the gym
where the tables were
beautifully decorated in
an autumn theme.
During dinner the
Silent Auction began.
Guests made their way
around the gym bidding
over five dozen items
from pumpkins made
out of horseshoes to restaurant gift certificates.
At 7 p.m. the live auction began. Darren Mercier was the auctioneer
and kept everyone entertained as they bid on
over five dozen items
that fetched fair prices.
Most people considered
the event a success. Katie Morris said, “It looks
like a big crowd and
good prices. It's almost
always a big success.”
“The Etna FFA would
like to thank every community member and
student who attended.
It was a huge success!
Profits gained from the
event will go to continuing the FFA program
through leadership conferences,
agriculture
competitions, attending
the national convention,
and hands-on applied
science. “We could
not have been successful in any way without
the help and support
from our community, of
whom we are extremely
grateful. We look forward to another great
year for the Etna FFA!”
commented FFA member Rylie Munn.

Principal’s Points
By Mr. Mark Evans
This month brings a message that students may be interested in,
but parents and other Scott Valley adults are its primary audience.
For many years, Scott River Adult Education (SRAE) has provided night school for the Scott Valley community. The curriculum
has mainly included coursework geared to helping some students
complete their high school graduation requirements and preparing
others for passing the General Educational Development (GED)
Test, which earns a California High School Equivalency Certificate. During most years, SRAE has also provided excellent art and
pottery classes taught by talented Scott Valley artists.
Now, changes are coming in adult education. The goal is to overhaul the program to better meet the needs of more students. Mainly,
there will be a new focus on Career Technology Education (CTE).
The goal will be to provide students with classes in career pathways
that will lead to specific coursework at College of the Siskiyous and
other community colleges which will then result in targeted employment. We will still offer basic courses needed to complete high
school graduation requirements, but most of these will be applied
courses designed to align with the new CTE objectives.
This change began when the California legislature passed AB 86
in 2013, providing planning grants to various educational groups
aligned with community colleges throughout the state. Scott Valley Unified School District (SVUSD) is a member of the Siskiyou
Adult Education Consortium. The Consortium has been working to
establish a countywide curriculum, standards, and certificates for
adult education students. This year, planning at SVUSD will include at least two community meetings at Scott River High School.
These meetings will have two purposes: 1) for SVUSD to share a
range of possible options that adult education students might have;
and 2) for community members to share their ideas regarding career pathways they are interested in pursuing. The meetings will
take place during this school year, one in early December and the
other sometime in February. They will both be widely advertised in
Scott Valley. I hope you will attend.
Counselor’s Corner
By Regina Hanna
We’ve had a great start this school year with great opportunities
such as: Etna Police Department Explorer meetings, College &
Career Day at COS, SAT/ACT Test Prep, and Shasta College
Preview Day. You should plan on coming to school on a regular
basis so you don’t miss out on future events.
TESTING INFO
Seniors, do you need to take/retake your SAT or ACT? You must
sign up online at www.collegeboard.com and www.actstudent.org/
Even if you are not sure what you will do next year, come see Mrs.
Hanna about taking a test. She can also help you pay for the test.
When you register for the SAT or ACT, remember to send your
scores out to four year colleges you are interested in! It will save
you some $.
10th -12th graders can sign up with Mrs. Hanna to take the
ASVAB in November. This is a free Armed Services Career Test
you can take with no obligation to join the military.

JV Volleyball Game Against
Trinity
By Maddy Jones
On Friday, Sept.18
at 5 p.m. the Etna junior
varsity volleyball team
played against Hoopa
Valley at home. The Lions started out a little
rocky, but came together and won the game.
For the first set, the
Lions lost 22-25, the
second set went better
with the Lions winning
25-23, and the last set
was 15-12. Lady Lion’s
libero, Carson Dickinson (sophomore), had a
great game with ten digs
and two back-row kills.
Teagan Ford (freshman), front-row middle
hitter, had three kills
and one amazing block.
Ford stated, “Even
though we kinda got
down on ourselves, we
pushed through and got
the win.” Cheers from
the court, bench, and
crowd kept their spirits
high, helping them to
pick one another up to
get the win.

Beating the Heat Game: Nice Try
By Cassidy Gilmore
Off to a Good Start
for Cross Country
By Cassidy Gilmore
Etna High started off
the cross country season strong with four out
of six of their runners
medaling during the
Bill Springhorn Classic at Shasta College.
No sooner was the first
meet over when the second meet of the season
came around.
The second meet was
The Yreka Elks Meet
at Greenhorn Park on
Sept. 11. Etna took
nine runners to this
meet, recruiting three
more runners than the
previous meet. The
past week had been
very hot and that day
was no exception. The
temperatures
were
supposed to reach
around 85 degrees
by 12 p.m. Luckily,
most of the high
school races were over
before 12 p.m. So, the
temperatures stayed in
the low to mid 70s most
of the time.
First to race were the
varsity boys, running a
3-mile course around
Greenhorn Park. Michael Martin (junior),
the first out of the two
Etna boys varsity, came
in fifth, with Morgan
Bahen (senior) coming in 14th. Next up
was the girls varsity
race running the same
distance as boys varsity with Delaney Black
(senior) making a 15th
place finish and Brenna
Black (senior) not far
behind with a 19th place
finish. The third race
was the girls JV race,
running a course of 2.5
miles. Marron Bahen
(sophomore) pulled in
the win with a first place
finish, Cassidy Gilmore (freshman) came in
third a little while after,
and Shakira Brandon
(sophomore) finished it
up for the Etna JV with
a 19th place finish. The
last race was the boys
JV race, running the
same distance as the
JV girls. Jesse Martin
(sophomore) also pulled
in a win for Etna with
a first place finish and
Brett Bahen (freshman)
finished strong for sixth
place.
The Yreka Elks Meet
was a success. So far,
Etna High has done a
pretty good job representing themselves.
“I think we did well,”
commented Brett Bahen
(freshman). If all goes
well, Etna will be able
to keep it up throughout
the rest of the season.
On Friday, Sept. 25,
Etna’s cross country
team headed down to
Palo Cedro, near Redding, to run in Foothill
High School’s Cougar
Invitational. Once again
Etna proved that you
can’t judge a book by its
cover with four of their
runners finishing in the
top ten. “It was really
hot,” said Marron Bahen (sophomore). The
temperatures were up in
the 80s that day but that
didn’t stop Etna.
The JV course was
1.9 miles. Bahen scored
another first place finish with Cassidy Gilmore (freshman) finish-
ing 2nd. Jesse Martin
(sophomore) finished
14th and Brett Bahen
(freshman) came in 25th
for the JV boys.
The varsity course at
this meet was another
3.2 mile course. Michael Martin (junior)
finished second by a
big margin and Morgan
Bahen (senior) came in
eighth.
Etna cross country
team was able to conquer the course and beat
the heat that Friday.
Hopefully next week it
won’t be too hot when
they head off to the Fall
River Invitational.
By Bradley Buchter
On Tuesday, Sept.
9, the soccer team
had their first game of
the season. The score
against Tulelake was
12-0. Tulelake ended
up winning. Shailyn
Tupman (junior) stated
that she thought “our
team did well,” and
Marron Bahen (sophomore) pacing herself.
On Friday, Sept. 25
our JV played Trinity
at home. After fighting
their way through the
game, outmatched by
size but not skill, the
Lions came out on top,
19-6.
Frank Hayden (sophomore) ran in the Lions’
first touchdown and
Matt Martin (sophomore) added a PAT,
making the game 7-0
with 4:56 left on the
clock in the first quarter.
Trinity made their way
into the end zone with
only 0:06 second left
on the clock, and tried
a two-point attempt
and was stopped short.
Soon after, Caiden Ins-
keep (freshman) ran in
a 10-yard play making
the game 13-6. Inskeep
said, “I thought I was
going to get crushed
by that guy but I got
through.”
The Lions were still
not satisfied, when Cale
Morrill (sophomore) ran
in a 34-yard touchdown.
Trinity received the ball
and ran it back down to
the Lions 4-yard line
where it was recovered
by Aaron Carroll. After
the recovery, the Lions
made one last attempt to
score, but didn’t deliver.
The Lions fought their
way through the Wolfpack and had a good
game.
coach Robinson agreed,
adding, “Our team did
well against the heat and
hard conditions we had
that day.” Everyone did
their part knowing the
game was going to be a
challenge based on how
well Tulelake played in
the beginning.
On Friday, Sept. 18,
the Etna Lions took on
the Hoopa Warriors. The
varsity game was a loss
for the Lions with a final score of 32–14. The
JV players also got their
first lost at home with a
score of 20-8.
Varsity made the first
touchdown of the game
followed by the Hoopa
Warriors making their
first touchdown right
after that. Dominic Villagomez (senior) said,
“We played good as a
team, until crunch time
came, that’s when we
didn't execute like we
should have.” Enough
said.
In the JV game the first
and second touchdowns
were scored by Hoopa.
After that, Etna made
their first touchdown.
The touchdown was
thrown by quarterback
Tyler Robinson (freshman) and caught by Cale
Morrill
(sophomore).
Although the Lions lost,
there were some positive
things about the game.
Hayden Hogan (sophomore) said, “We did good
on defense but Hoopa’s
passing was hard to stop.
We were all disappointed with the loss but are
focused on beating Trinity this week.” Both JV
and varsity did great and
worked hard.

Hard Fall for the Varsity Lions
By Rawnie Hoover
On Friday, Sept. 25
our varsity football
team faced the Trinity
Wolves at home. After
playing a hard game,
the Wolves came out
on top, 41-7. Etna’s offense moved the ball
toward the end zone
multiple times but was
unable to score.
In the fourth quarter Payton Dickinson
(junior) found Tristan
Branson (sophomore)
who found pay dirt.
Rob Thom (junior) added the extra point mak-
ing the score 34-7 with
9:20 left to play. The
Wolves played well in
both their offense and
defense which challenged the Lions.
The Lions fought hard
but were unable to get
the win. When asked
about the game afterwards, Henry Hanna
(senior) said,
“We
made simple mistakes
that had a large impact
on the game. We played
well. The score didn’t
show how hard we Robert Thom (junior) throwing to his teammates hoping for
a touchdown.
played.”

On Friday, Sept. 11,
we had a football game
against Quincy, which
was the home opener.
Everyone on our team
was pretty psyched for
the first game.
Our varsity team won
13-12, and JV won 3212. Lane Clark (junior)
gave the Lions a 6-0 lead
with a 48-yard touchdown run. In the second
quarter, the point after
touchdown (PAT) was
missed, but we had a
6-0 advantage. Quincy
tied the game, 6-6, in the
third quarter on an 18yard pass play, but we
blocked the PAT. Quincy
took a temporary lead

with about 11 minutes to

on another 18-yard TD
pass play, but failed their
PAT. We trailed 12-6
with the clock ticking
down. Payton Dickinson (junior) and Dominic Villagomes (junior)
earned us a 13-12 victory. Asked how the varsity team played, Trevor
Tupman (senior) said,
“Our team stayed up the
whole game and played
well” and added, “The
other team played well;
it’s really easy to get
flustered when you get
hit, but the other team
kept their cool.” Mason Justice (freshman),
who played as defensive
tackle for the JV team,
thought that “everyone
on the team played their
best and we really wanted the win.”

2015 Shasta
Forestry Challenge
By Olivia Rose
On Wednesday,
Sept. 23 Jennifer Apland (senior), Brianna
Rightmyer
(junior),
Olivia Rose (freshman), and teacher Kellie Hargett went to the
Shasta Forestry Challenge outside of Shingletown. Out of 18
teams that competed,
Etna came in fourth.
They were 0.8 points
from third place, and
spent four days there
learning about collecting data such as the
number of trees per
acre, tree density, and
canopy cover.
This year’s topic was
community wildfire
protection. They had
two days of field training to learn how to use
all the tools like the
angle gauge, clinometer, logger’s tape, and
Biltmore stick.
On the first day the
Etna forestry team arrived and had a presentation.
The second day they
went to the Shingletown
Ridge
Fuel
Break and did field
work such as measuring diameter breast
height and calculating
amount of trees per
acre. They also had to
start on their PowerPoint presentations.
The third day there
were professional foresters there to teach
them how to use forestry tools and the students were tested on
what they learned.
On the last day,
they made a presentation on how to protect
communities against
wildfires. They were
the first to present and
did great job on their
presentation.

Junior Beef
Ambassador
By Angelee Dowling
Jennifer Apland (senior) and Olivia Rose (freshman) work
together to find the diameter of a tree using a diameter tape,
one of the many skills learned at the 2015 Shasta Forestry
Challenge.
Senior
Updates!
Angelee Dowling (junior) has won the junior
division of the National
Beef Ambassador competition.
Here’s the nuts-nbolts of how the competition works. The competition has three levels:
local, state, and nationals. There is a junior
and senior division.
There are three parts
to the state and national
competition for a junior. The first is a written response where you
respond to it and an
article that is negative
toward beef in a letter
to the editor.
The second is media
response where you are
interviewed for a publication regarding beef
and the industry.
The third is a consumer response where mock
consumers come up and
ask questions that you
could be asked in real
life about beef.
Each of these sections
is scored based on how
composed the competitors are and how well
they answered the questions.
There were nine junior competitors at Nationals. It was hosted in
Denver. This is the last
year there will be a national competition. But
the California state will
continue its local and
state competition, so
there is still a demand
for beef ambassadors.
Dowling will be traveling throughout the U.S.
during the year.
