explain what the director would like to have in their movie. The presenters all agreed that story boards made up the whole show. That’s how one gets started.

Lunch was held at the workshop at about 12:30. Participants ate and dis-cussed what we wanted to do with the knowledge of what they were receiv-ing. After the lunch hour we were in-troduced to simple video projects that were easy to do. Cody Dame creates wedding videos and other miscella-neous things. He explained that aspir-ing directors needed a plan. Starting with no previous knowledge of what the people want isn’t a good idea.

As the seminar came to a close, all of those that attended left there with a knowledge of what to do next to fur-ther their video production.

The Fox Theatre held a four day film festival September 8-11, which brought various film aficionados to McCook. Saturday, September 10, they shared their expertise at a free film workshop.

The film workshop was off to a start at 10:30 in the morning. There were four people on stage: one man from the newspaper that aspired to be a director, a woman that became a direc-tor, a woman that taught a directing class, and our very own Cody Dame of McCook.

Each talked a little about themselves and what they did for a living. After about an hour, they turned to the teaching part of the seminar. They explained to us about story boards, editing, and all the rest of the basics.

They presented printed storyboards from Standing Bear. Story boards are basically plans for each scene. They

Individual achievements are more rewarding than those accomplished by a group effort. They come with more pride and more assurance for another task that a person may be faced with later. On the other hand, the more group efforts you are faced with the more dependent you become on the people around you. A few examples of this are wrestling and football, graduating and dropping out, and getting that career you’ve wanted or sticking with your first job. Wrestling is not a team sport. There is a wrestling team, but that does not mean that wrestling is a team effort, except in practice. Whereas sports like football or basketball require a team effort, so they are a team sport. In wrestling it’s just you and the other guy, or in some cases girl, and the person who determines the victory or defeat is you. However in football and basketball it’s all about the team. The whole team determines the victory and the defeat. And you don’t even have to play in any games to get a medal or trophy. Case in point, a person who is rarely on the field can still get a trophy for his team’s victories. The only way that wrestling is a team effort is during practice and whether the whole team gets a championship or not, but you can still be an individual champion in your own weight class. The same thing is true with graduating high school or college. There is also a sense of achievement, and it is your effort not anyone else’s. It might take some mentoring and a little help, but if you make it you can still feel that sense of pride. However, just like wrestling or anything else in life you can just give up on it and be a failure forever. But the great thing is that if you don’t get it the first time you can go back and get that diploma or degree later. It’s an accomplishment only YOU can achieve. And then when you work in college you can get that career you’ve always wanted. Perhaps you hated your first job out of high school and eventually quit. Once you finally get that career you worked hard for, it will probably be the biggest sense of accomplishment you can come across because you’re finally doing the one thing you’ve wanted to do for however long you wanted that career. So when looking at individual achievements vs. group efforts, individual achievements are far more rewarding than group efforts. If you think about it the people who are more independent usually go further in life than those who depend on other people to keep them from making mistakes or to fix the mistakes they have made.

I Lost My CrayonsThe Importance Behind The Simple Box Of Colors

Me Gusta La Fiesta

Nathan [email protected]

Have you ever lost something that meant a lot to you? Maybe something you got from a friend or family member, or something bought with your own money that you worked hard to earn. Do you remember how you felt when you lost it? How did you react? Did you get mad or upset? Starting senior year I brought a coloring book and crayons to every class. I would color to keep myself quiet. Even though I still wasn’t paying as much attention to the teacher, I was still hearing everything they said as I was coloring in my book. Surprisingly, I was quiet and didn’t talk as much. Then one day I was getting my books out of my car to go to school, and I couldn’t find my crayons. I was so upset when I couldn’t find them; I just didn’t know what to do in class without my crayons and coloring book. Now losing something that means a lot to you may not affect you the same way…I mean losing crayons isn’t that serious of a loss, but to me it meant a lot. I mean, it’s all I had to do in my classes. Of course I have lost something or someone more important than a box of crayons. Once I lost something that meant the world to me. A couple years ago we got a puppy named Zena. She was the best puppy in the world. We had had her for 2 years. Zena was always so hyper and so energetic; I always loved playing catch with her. She was a bird dog, so she loved it when I threw the duck toy she had. She was the best dog in the world; she was so obedient except for the fact that she barked a lot. We took her hunting quite a bit. She was still kind of in training when we took her, but she did well at retrieving. Only if I could have actually hit a pheasant that day. We ended up having to put Zena down after a cow stepped on her. I’ve lost a lot in my life and no matter how important it was to me it still hurt when I lost it. It hurts worse when I lost something that I worked so hard to get because all that hard work and dedication is now gone. I feel like I wasted my money on the crayons and coloring book. I had them like a whole week or two before I lost them. Something I spent money on you would think that I would try not to lose. Yeah, me too, but I just tend to lose a lot of stuff.

A Smile Goes A Long Ways

A Saturday night that was planned for at least a week. She was in the bathroom fin-ishing up the few touches on her hair and make-up. Looking in the mirror, the same person stared back with the simple response “it’s going to be a good night.” As the hours past, waiting for her ride to pick her up, she questioned herself. She knew what she was about to do but never once had the courage to attempt it. Mother paced by while she stared out the window as the car pulled up, she too was questioning. With a kiss goodbye and one last reassurance that she would be fine and would see her mom bright and early, she was gone. Minutes seemed to turn to hours too fast for her to even think. She knew what she was doing. From house to house she went without a care. Soon a couple of people turned to several, the clock striking 12am flashed to 3am, and one drink became one too many. In her own world there were no worries, nothing could go wrong. Then disappearing into a room away from the crowd with him was her first cold and un-hinged step into the beginning of a new life, and the ending of another. “This would never happen to me.” I told myself that over and over again as I passed down the halls of my school watching and criticizing the faults of others around me. With grades that were befitting, but nothing to brag about, my school life was okay. At home was a different story. At the age of five my family went down a rough road that ended in divorce. I was pushed around from mom to dad until finally at the age of 12 I was permanently secure in my mother’s responsibility. But throughout those years of going back and forth from each parent, I had, somewhat, become a parent myself. Living with my father the “party life” never came to an end, so nights there started with dad leaving and me pushing my homework aside. I grew up fast because of these events. I was forced into an” adult-like” real world and taught myself right from wrong, with, of course, the help of my mom. I guided myself, and the one thing that stuck the most was there is an end to everything, and in many situations sacri-fices must be made. There is a time to quit and a time to keep pushing forward. 17 and pregnant, there is no easy way to say it. When the doctor walked in, I knew my life was over. But which life? My life wasn’t over yet, it was simply beginning. But the life that brought me to that doctor’s appointment had come to an end. You never want to blame the innocent for your mistakes, and I was preparing for the consequences that were attached to my actions. Regardless of how fun or how careless I was, they were mine and mine alone. There would be regrets, but no resent-ment toward the new life that I would bring into the world. I needed the strength and values that my mother had always taught me. And the belief in myself, that I would do my best to not repeat some of the negative things that I had been exposed to. It was time to grow up whether I was ready to or not and the life inside me depended on it. It is unfortunate that I am not the only one who has gone through this scenario. Although I feel no self-pity, it cannot be denied that those of us who are or have gone through this, experience a certain amount judgment, isolation if you will, because of our condition. I will never condone or be in favor of anyone my age or younger being pregnant. I would hope that every young girl or woman would take the proper steps to avoid this so that every new life could come into a world with a loving mother and father. But as reality has been known to show, this is not always the case. I think that it is important to know that behind most every face of a pregnant youth is the heart and mind that is scared, uncertain, and a story that may surprise others at just how they got this way. No one wants to be shunned or feel alone, especially at a time like this when friends and companionship is so important. None of us are perfect. The only perfect thing is the untouched life within us. Try not to forget that the life on the outside needs the same attention to grow and be the best parent we can be.

What’s been in the handbook for years but has just been enforced this year? As we all went into our classes on the first day of school if you had a book bag or purse with you, you were told to take it to your locker. Most kids were not use to this rule and it brought up the subject, why? “It’s a safety issue. The safety committee, [made up of] people from all over the district, is concerned that it may be a safety hazard. Backpacks and big purses need to stay in lockers. Weapons are the main thing. It’s a security issue all over the nation,” stated principal Smith. Page 25 of the handbook states, “Bags maybe used to carry books to and from school. They may not be used during school hours. See through mesh type book bags are recommended to promote safety.” The principal also went onto state that “purses that were small enough that they could not hold a pistol were ok to have.” “Usually everyone has time to use the bathroom during changing periods.” stated Smith. However, a lot of students question that statement, especially the ones coming from classes in the junior high. Is there thought of a longer passing period? “No, there is plenty of time to get your books and get to class,” Smith said.The injured are no exception either. “If someone’s injured, I don’t have a prob-lem with them getting someone to leave early and carry their stuff,” stated Smith. “Nowhere does it say school is fair.” Smith said. Students at McCook Senior High will just have to get use to this new rule.

“It’s stupid because we will be late for class,” freshman Tanner Weatherly says. What’s making Tanner and all the other students at MHS late for class? The newly enforced backpack rule, which say “Bags may be used to carry books to and from school. They may not be used during school hours.” Students who have been in the high school for one or more years are outraged by the enforced rule. School everywhere are enforcing this rule for safety. In response to this, Sophmore Rosetta Judd explained, “It’s not like they can’t search us at anytime.” Authorities in the school are allowed to search anybody or their lockers if they have reason to believe the student has a concealed weapon or illegal drugs. “It’s not like we will bring weapons to school, I mean seriously...”Junior Amber Ulmer says.

9/11 Ten Years LaterLisa Malone, a

teacher in Camp Springs, Maryland, sat with her mother at home on the morning of September 11th, 2001 as if it were just another morning. That all changed when they received a call from Lisa’s sister. She was in a panic, telling Lisa to turn on the news. By this time the first of The Twin Towers had already been struck by an airplane. Not knowing there would be another airplane to hit the second tower, Lisa tried to convince her sister it was just an accident and that there was nothing to worry about. Soon after that the World Trade Center appeared on Television with smoke coming out of it and Lisa’s mother began to panic and cry.

“At that point, I was in shock.

Agitation started to set in for me too. I couldn’t believe that someone would deliberately do this. I didn’t grow up in New York, but always loved it. [I] went up the former Towers twice, they were spectacular.”

Things began to get worse once word was out that the second tower was hit; terror hit the people like a bombshell and in a matter of minutes they left work early to go home and watch the news all day long.

“We all sat together around the T.V. listening for updates. We didn’t know if there was going to be more,” Malone recalled, “It was hard to continue the rest of that week, you feel like you should be in mourning after something so terrible. That weekend Jeff (her husband) and I drove to New York to place flowers on the site. I’ll never forget the flags that flew everywhere, on every building. There was still lots of dust all around

the city that weekend and a terrible smell (almost like burning rubber). It

was very surreal.”

The attacks on September 11th, 2001 changed The United States in so many different ways. One of which being the way things were run at school. Schools in Maryland

required students to bring supply bags that consisted of food, a change of clothes and some even had notes from their parents in them, schools also sealed all windows off. Many schools in Nebraska, such as Benkelman Elementary where Mr.Norgaard worked during the incidents, only conversed about possible changes, but never made any.

The attacks immediately became reason for changes at Andrews Air Force Base in Prince George’s County, Maryland where Tammy Mitnik was stationed at the time. “Within minutes of the attacks there were tanks at every gate and men walking around with M-16’s. There was also a new rule that civilians were no longer allowed on base… we were in the target zone.”

Now, ten years later, we have celebrated the ten year anniversary of the tragic attacks. In New York City bells were rung signaling moments of silence at the same time the planes hit each building on that tragic

day of September 11, 2001. The event was closed to the public except those whose family members perished in the attacks.

Former president, George Bush spoke and began with this quote, “With the distance of a decade, 9/11 can feel like a different era, but for the families of the men and women stolen, some of who have joined us today, that day will never feel like history.”

In McCook on September 11, 2011, Police Chief Ike Brown sang “God Bless America” in honor of the men and women who fight for our country day in and day out. Many other events took place in McCook that day and around the country to commemorate the men and women who fight and have fought for our nation.

Ten minutes and counting down, the players jump up and down, waiting to enter the stadium. All of a sudden the team explodes out of the inflatable helmet. The crowd goes crazy! The players line up in that oh so familiar line and the announcer bellows out the starting varsity players. The pep band plays the school song, the crowd yells, and the Bison get pumped up for the first game of the season. Bison senior quarterback Matt Chit-wood knows football. He’s been play-ing since he could walk. He got the idea to play ball because every guy in his family played; therefore, it was almost expected of him. Nick Alberts, senior defensive tackle, agrees with Chitwood that he also wanted to play, but for Alberts, he felt the pressure to play from the other kids in his class, starting in fifth grade. Both players discussed how they liked the physical nature of the game. They can hit someone and not get into trouble. Chitwood also loves the speed of the games and getting to be with his friends. Many high school students would agree that the worst thing about any sports is the two-a-days for condition-ing and also the waking up early for morning practices. For every sport each player has an

achievement. Matt Chitwood decided that the second game of playoffs last year was “awesome”. They battled Adam Central in the regular season and beat them, but in playoffs the Bi-son beat Adam Central way worse than before. For Nick Alberts, his achieve-ment was getting a letter his junior year.

Alberts and Chitwood agree on the advice that they would give to under-classmen: “Try as hard as you can, whether you get to play a lot or not. If you go hard all the time, the coaches will find somewhere to play you. You also learn to love your team as a fam-ily.” It’s the 2011 football season for the

Bison. Scottsbluff was our first op-ponent and the Bison won 28-7! Next game was at home versus Aurora and it was a heart-stopper, but the final score after double overtime was 16-13, with the Bison winning with a field goal. The third game was at Alliance and the Bison won yet again, with a score of 31-20. Then the Bison were on the road again, this time to unde-feated Gering. The team went in strong and never looked back, taking a 24-0 victory. The fifth game was a home game versus Grand Island Northwest. The Bison won with a score of 49-26. This coming Friday is a home game with Sidney; it should be a great game!

“Try as hard as you can, whether you get to play a lot or not. If you go hard all the time, the coaches will find somewhere to play you.”

As his last year of tennis draws to a close, senior Marcus Golden will no doubt only have the fondest of memo-ries of his time on the McCook Senior High tennis team. Marcus has been in tennis since jr. high and has been in it every year for high school. He says he started tennis after going to ten-nis camp in 6th grade, and the fact that his uncle is the coach doesn’t hurt either. Getting to sleep, hangout with friends and playing card games on bus trips is what Marcus says he enjoys most about tennis. Marcus recommends anyone thinking about going out for tennis next year to do so because of the great coaches and the great teammates that come along with it.

It’s more than bump, set and spike for one of the McCook Senior High vol-leyball players. Amanda Fuchuck, the only senior out for volleyball this year explained in our interview how impor-tant it is to be a team leader. She said,” Our team word this year in confidence and I think it’s important to be a team leader during practices and games to show the other girls how important the word really is.” So far the volleyball team are having a pretty good start to their season even though the varsity girls’

team has been plagued with injuries, they still have faith that they will have a pretty good season. Amanda happens to be one of the girls with an injury. She recently tore her ACL and will be out for the rest of the season It’ clear that she will be at the games to cheer on her fellow teammates.
