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. Page 8 Dinner Auction Page 5 EHS students of every grade playing water balloon toss. What Really Takes Talent By Indica Dunbar Page 4-5 Features Page 6 Volleyball The first Lions Got Talent assembly of this year did not include student performances. Instead, the assembly focused on academic achievements of the students. Mr. Evans introduced last spring’s honorable mentions and honor roll.

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 Page 8 Forestry Challenge Anime Club (l-r); Tessa Hamann (junior), Bradley Buchter (freshman), Elizabeth Hughett (freshman), Colleen MacLeod (senior), and Indica Dunbar (senior). Indica Dunbar (senior) as secretary/publicity. The club also consists of chatting, laughing, singing, dancing, and fun! Elizabeth Hughett (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 come and join the club, just walk on in and sign up. Talk to Indica Dunbar or Colleen MacLeod to sign up.

Jennifer Apland (senior) then announced that Angelee Dowling (junior) is the State Beef Ambassador and is competing in Colorado at the end of September for the national title. Etna High School is proud of its students and their enthusiasm to work diligently. Students worked hard juggling classes, sports, and home. Now, that takes talent. FFA Fair By Rylie Munn The Annual Siskiyou Golden Fair took place this year from August 12-16. Etna FFA had a great student turnout in all of the barns with big wins from each.

In this edition of the Paw Print journalism class students wrote about the conflict of the Dollar General coming to Etna. The Pro/Con is not the staff or school’s opinion. Pro By Lillian Stout 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. Con By Elizabeth Hughett and Jasmine Rose 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.

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! Oct. 29, 2015 Page 3 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. Auctioneer, Darren Mercier, getting the auction rolling. The FFA Dinner Auction was packed with supporters.

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.

First Soccer 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. Dom Villagomez (senior) running the ball.

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.

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. Turkey Trot! Come participate in the “tradition before the tradition,” the Scott Valley Schools’ Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving Day.
