Girls’ Basketball Team Going Strong<br />
By Rachael Schaaf and Whitney Letourneau<br />
The FMHS girls’ basketball team started off their season<br />
6A school in a holiday tournament<br />
over winter break, but they put up<br />
a good fight. The team had a big<br />
win over Ida Baker three weeks<br />
ago, 51-37. Kelsey Mitchell was<br />
the leading scorer with 14 points,<br />
and Hilary Jessup was close behind<br />
with 12 points. Along with Madison<br />
Barker, the three captains each average<br />
at least ten points per game.<br />
Coach O’Brien said, “The chemistry<br />
between those three [the captains]<br />
is really good. They’re our<br />
leaders. They’ve helped unite this<br />
team.” The girls are hoping to push<br />
with a strong bond even though many players were new. through and are ready for district<br />
Five freshmen were added to the team this year making it play, as they have already won as<br />
more challenging for the girls to become close. The team many games as they did last season.<br />
overcame that challenge quickly starting off their season Good luck to the team for the rest of<br />
with an 11 game winning streak. Unfortunately, they fell to a the season!<br />

If you still have a sweet tooth for holiday treats, peppermint bark will do the trick!<br />
Peppermint Bark Recipe<br />
INGREDIENTS:<br />
1 bag of chocolate chips (any kind you’d like to use)<br />
1 bag of white chocolate chips<br />
24 mini candy canes, crushed *Do not crush using a food processor. Instead, place candy<br />
canes in a Ziploc bag, and use a hammer to crush candy into small pieces.<br />
DIRECTIONS:<br />
Line the bottom of a 9×13 pan with parchment paper. Pour (brown) chocolate chips in a<br />
microwave-safe bowl. Microwave chocolate chips in increments of 30 seconds, stirring the<br />
chips after each interval until they have completely melted and the mixture is smooth. Spread<br />
melted chocolate as evenly as possible into lined pan. Place pan into freezer for 20 minutes.<br />
Repeat the same melting process with the white chips. While chocolate is still smooth, stir in<br />
half of the crushed candy cane mixture. Allow the white chocolate to cool slightly. Remove<br />
pan from freezer, and spread white chocolate and crushed candy cane mixture on top of<br />
the chocolate layer. Spread white chocolate as quickly as possible. Top off with remaining<br />
crushed candy cane and gently pat down with the back of a spatula. Return pan to freezer for<br />
20 minutes. Remove from freezer, and gently lift the whole mixture from the pan with a butter<br />
knife. You should now have a solid sheet of peppermint bark. Remove parchment paper<br />
and break into pieces. Store any leftover bark in a Ziploc bag and place in the freezer. Enjoy!<br />
*If white chocolate chips do not melt smoothly, stir in 2 tablespoons of shortening.<br />
Renaissance Rewarded<br />
By Laciey D’Agostino<br />
On Tuesday January 11th, Renaissance<br />
card holders and members of the Wave Cave<br />
Wackos were rewarded by being able to attend<br />
the basketball game against Cypress during<br />
school hours. The home side of the stands<br />
were filled with cheering students, happy<br />
about their escape from their daily routine of<br />
learning. The support from classmates must<br />
have had a good impact on the team, because<br />
they beat Cypress with a score of 86 to 53.<br />

Faster than a<br />
speeding bullet<br />
by Gabi Hersch<br />
Track season is coming up as speedy as<br />
ever. In times like these, there is only one<br />
thing to do. Join! Get involved with an<br />
incredible sport that is for anyone who likes<br />
having fun.<br />
Why should you join track? “To be a part of<br />
something great.” Coach Kelly replied.<br />
Conditioning has already started, so if you<br />
haven’t come out yet, it’s time to do just<br />
that.<br />
Are you fast, can you jump, can you throw<br />
steel spheres of flying disks into the air, or<br />
can you vault yourself, using a pole way up<br />
to clear a little bar, and fall without hurting<br />
yourself... then The Track team is for you.<br />
To make your dreams in participating in<br />
this sport come true, all you have to do is to<br />
visit the girls or boys coaches.<br />
For girls, talk to Coach Kelly in room F240,<br />
and for guys, talk to Coach Rode in room<br />
F226. Be quick about it!<br />

Top Ten Facebook<br />
Resolutions<br />
By Josh Evangelista<br />
10. Bring an end to taking upsidedown<br />
pictures of yourself.<br />
9. Change that email address of yours<br />
that you made back in middle school.<br />
It’s about time “hellokittyxoxo@aim.<br />
com” got replaced.<br />
8. Get in the habit of meditating, before<br />
ranting in your Facebook statuses.<br />
Seriously, no one cares.<br />
7. Stop replacing g’s with q’s when<br />
you type, because, honestly, no one<br />
knows what a “qood morninq” is.<br />
6. Before you update your status<br />
from your cell phone while partying,<br />
remember that you have family members<br />
added as Facebook friends.<br />
5. Start listening to mainstream music,<br />
because the number of obscure<br />
indie bands that you share with your<br />
friends equals the number of times<br />
you’re going to get told you’re an idiot.<br />
4. Song lyrics and status updates are<br />
two separate things. Learn to keep it<br />
that way.<br />
3. Every meal you have and status updates<br />
are two separate things. Learn<br />
to keep it that way.<br />
2. It IS possible to block Farmville requests,<br />
you know.<br />
1. Finally, work up that motivation to<br />
delete your MySpace.<br />
Pasta for Pennies<br />
By Rachael Schaaf<br />
SGA’s annual Pasta for Pennies<br />
fundraiser starts on February 1st<br />
and goes through March 1st. They<br />
will be collecting all money during<br />
5th period classes. The stakes<br />
are high and the competition is<br />
tough, since your class can win an<br />
Olive Garden party if you raise the<br />
most money. Remember, the funds<br />
raised go to cancer research, and<br />
SGA would like to meet the goal of<br />
$100,000 total that FMHS has raised<br />
overall. Support the cause and good<br />
luck!<br />

Adopt a Pet and Save a Life<br />
By Molli Collins<br />
Everyone at one point has<br />
begged his or her parents to<br />
purchase a puppy, or maybe<br />
a kitten. Most likely, many of<br />
you didn’t get your wish. However,<br />
now is the time to really<br />
make that old wish come true.<br />
Since the economic downturn,<br />
there has been a large increase<br />
in the number of animals in the<br />
shelters. Areas that have been<br />
hit especially hard by the recession,<br />
like Lee County, have<br />
seen an increase in the number<br />
of abandoned pets. There have<br />
been calls reporting numerous<br />
animals left behind in foreclosed<br />
homes. People simply<br />
do not have the money to pay<br />
for a pet. This is your time to<br />
become a foster parent for an<br />
abandoned animal. According<br />
to The Humane Society, about<br />
half of the six to eight million<br />
animals that are brought into<br />
shelters every year are euthanized, meaning that the animals will be killed painlessly. Nevertheless,<br />
it’s still tragic that they have to die because there are not enough people who want<br />
them. This past September in Lee County 172 dogs were euthanized, and the percentage<br />
of stray dogs rose by five percent, leaving 363 dogs in Lee<br />
County homeless. Although the five shelters, in our local area,<br />
ranging from North <strong>Fort</strong> <strong>Myers</strong> to Naples try to take in the lost<br />
animals, there is not enough room.<br />
This is where you come in, Greenies. We all know that a pet<br />
is hard work, but how can you resist helping out when you see<br />
such a great need? This is not just charity. People love pets<br />
and can become very close to them. Senior Marissa Marazzi<br />
has five dogs that she has taken in from shelters. When asked<br />
why she took in these dogs, she referred to one of her favorite<br />
quotes, “Saving one dog won’t change the world but surely the<br />
world will change for that one dog”. You’re not only saving a life, you’re gaining a friend.<br />
Unfortunately, the animals are not free; they range from $25 to $95. Even if the money isn’t<br />
an issue, the parents may be, which is understandable. If you aren’t able to adopt a pet, you<br />
can always donate pet food and money, or volunteer. Lee County Domestic Animal Services<br />
is in dire need of dry cat food, and volunteering at an animal shelter would be a great way<br />
to gain community service hours and help your community. Keep in mind these loving<br />
animals, because becoming a foster parent could save a pet. After all Greenies, love comes<br />
in all shapes and sizes.<br />
Star students and what they represent<br />
By Liam Corkell<br />
Star students, people see their pictures<br />
on the walls and they wonder; what is a<br />
star student? Junior Jason Gregson says,<br />
“I’ve always wondered what all those<br />
pictures were about.” It’s really quite a<br />
straight forward process. A<br />
star student is an individual<br />
of FMHS whose<br />
teachers believe to<br />
have exceptionally<br />
demonstrated the<br />
qualities expected of<br />
all FMHS students.<br />
These aforementioned<br />
qualities are<br />
divided throughout<br />
the school year, with<br />
each quality being emphasized<br />
within the time span<br />
of one month. At the close of each month,<br />
the teachers of FMHS have the option to<br />
nominate a student that they believe has<br />
done a truly remarkable job demonstrating<br />
the trait set for that specific month, honesty,<br />
tolerance, determination etc. All names<br />
that have been put forward are then placed<br />
in a large hat and one is pulled randomly, so<br />
as to ensure an even chance for all the nominees.<br />
The selected student then has their photograph<br />
taken, and placed on the star student<br />
wall in the media center. The picture stays up<br />
for the duration of the following month, until<br />
the time when next star student<br />
is chosen. At that point,<br />
the previous picture<br />
is placed out in the<br />
main media hallway.<br />
Some students who<br />
have been honored<br />
with this award include<br />
Jacob Jansen,<br />
Liam Corkell, and<br />
Jacolyne Vena.<br />
However, all those students<br />
who are nominated<br />
receive a small prize for their<br />
demonstrating the qualities of FMHS, even if<br />
they’re not selected as a star student. It may<br />
seem like one of the little things in life, but the<br />
star student award serves as an example of the<br />
traits that every student at FMHS should aspire<br />
to every day of every month of the year.<br />
District considers<br />
changes in <strong>School</strong><br />
Year<br />
Shorter summers; longer days<br />
could become a reality<br />
By Molli Collins<br />
The school year of 2011-2012 will officially<br />
be starting on August 8, making the future summer<br />
at least one week shorter than last year. According<br />
to the <strong>High</strong>light of the <strong>School</strong> Board<br />
Meeting publication from January 11, 2011,<br />
there may also be changes in the bell times in<br />
the coming school year. The Board approved<br />
an adjusted bell time during their meeting on<br />
January 11. The start time for all high schools<br />
will be adjusted from 7:15 a.m. to 7:10 a.m.<br />
and the new end time will be 2:15 p.m. as opposed<br />
to 1:45 p.m. This could make each and<br />
every school day 25 minutes longer. Although<br />
there is still time for the school board and superintendent<br />
to make changes before schools<br />
start next year, the times have been approved<br />
for now.<br />
This may come as a surprise to most students,<br />
but there may be positive outcomes for<br />
the schools. Possibly longer lunches, longer<br />
passing time, or maybe extra planning time for<br />
teachers might come from the change. Budget<br />
considerations are also cited as one of the primary<br />
reasons for changes to the bell schedule.<br />
Positive Players<br />
By Whitney Letourneau and Rachael Schaaf<br />
Throughout the sports’ season, student-athletes’<br />
coaches are supposed to look for an<br />
amazing player who stands out from all the<br />
rest of their teammates. The student-athletes<br />
need to always give 100%, help out without<br />
being asked, and be counted on for anything<br />
that needs to be done. Not only are these students<br />
outstanding athletes, but they possess<br />
other important qualities as well. Instead of<br />
putting themselves first, they are leaders<br />
who help build a strong Green Wave nation<br />
with their positive attitudes. It is an honor to<br />
be selected, and the students received a $10<br />

Fatal Distraction! By Emily Kaske and Claudia Zapiec<br />
Vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for teens, killing nearly 6,000 teens annually. Taking your eyes off the road increases your chances of causing a crash. There are 30<br />
states and the District of Columbia that have laws banning texting while driving, with eight more states prohibiting teen drivers from texting while driving.<br />
A survey taken by Seventeen Magazine and AAA in May 2010 showed that 61% of teens admit to risky driving habits. Out of the 61%, 46% say that they text while driving, and 51% talk on<br />
the phone while behind the wheel. AAA is still pushing the state legislature to make our roadways safer by passing legislation that bans new drivers from text messaging while driving.<br />
The main reason kids don’t survive in car accidents is because they’re not wearing a seat belt. Remember to always buckle your seat belt, don’t use a cell phone while driving, and<br />
utilize your turn signals.<br />
Next time you receive an important text, either take the time to pull over and reply, or<br />
wait until you reach your destination. Because really, what text is worth your life or<br />
someone elses?<br />
Harry Potter and the<br />
Deathly Hallows:<br />
Part One<br />
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Pt. 1 is the long awaited beginning to the final chapter of<br />
the biggest movie series of the 21st century. The plot revolves around the three kids (well, not so<br />
much “kids” anymore) as they are hiding from Lord Voldemort, while on a quest to destroy the<br />
Horcruxes, the source of the Dark Lord’s immortality.<br />
The thing that makes this film stand out from most of the previous ones is that it becomes less<br />
friendly and more frightening. It becomes less like a family movie, and more like a war movie.<br />
It becomes less pretty and charming, and more evil and in your face. Although it is one of the<br />
darkest out of the series, it is definitely the strongest. The action sequences are of much more<br />
epic proportions. Being a huge improvement to the Half-Blood Prince, which was very slow and<br />
talkative, the Deathly Hallows Pt. 1 has sequences that make your heart race. It is also MUCH<br />
more artsy and innovative than any of the previous films. A big love-it-or-hate-it quality found in<br />
the Deathly Hallows Pt. 1 is its thrilling and scary nature, making it a deviation from the series’<br />
innocent playfulness. However, there is one thing that hasn’t changed ever since the very start:<br />
the chemistry and friendship found in our favorite trio. Harry, Ron, and Hermoine still maintain<br />
their lovable and unforgettable personalities.<br />
The editors of the Deathly Hallows Pt. 1 are either cruel sadists or marketing geniuses. In the<br />
end, both good and evil suffer great losses, and then when things start to get very intense, the<br />
credits roll. The near lack of an ending makes you want to rip your hair out, and it WILL make<br />
you groan. This being said, it is just the beginning of an epic finale. This is NOT a bad thing. The<br />
cliffhanger technique goes a step farther and intensifies just how dangerous Potter’s situation really<br />
is. It increases your appetite by giving you a taste of the ultimate showdown yet to come.<br />
Final grade: A+. The anticipation to see Pt. 1 is very much<br />
rewarded with both its thrilling grand-scale cinematics,<br />
and the reassurance that Pt. 2 will be even more grand.<br />

Extreme weather watch:<br />
A winter to remember<br />
Clad in golden spandex pants and shimmering red capes, superheroes are depicted<br />
standing atop gleaming skyscrapers. In actuality, these figures aren’t heroes at all. The<br />
real heroes are the firemen, teachers, parents, and countless other people who strive to<br />
help. Although we see heroes every day, we rarely take the time to appreciate them. I<br />
realized this after hearing of the tragic Arizona shooting on January 8th.<br />
The calamity left six people dead and congresswoman<br />
Gabrielle Giffords in critical condition. The morning was<br />
cloaked in sadness, but a hint of brightness shone through<br />
because of the valiant action of a few people, including a<br />
retired army colonel, Mr. Bill Badger, and a 61 year-old<br />
woman, Ms. Patricia Maisch. Mr. Badger, along with several<br />
other men, restrained the<br />
shooter until help arrived.<br />
Even though a bullet had<br />
grazed the back of his head<br />
and he was disoriented, Mr.<br />
Badger managed to hold the man down. Ms. Patricia Maisch also showed tremendous<br />
courage during the shooting. She grabbed the magazine of bullets from the shooter’s<br />
hand and kept him from reloading his gun.<br />
These valiant people saved many lives, but Ms. Maisch claims, “I am not a hero.”<br />
Whether accepting their heroic titles or not, they showed immense courage in risking<br />
their own lives in order to save the lives of others. The Arizona shooting is one of numerous<br />
occurrences where brave individuals have stepped forward to help.<br />
I believe we should all take time out of our day to thank, or show appreciation for,<br />
heroes we know. They are our firemen, our teachers, and our<br />
parents. They are our heroes. Clad in ordinary outfits<br />
and normal shoes, heroes are everyday people who<br />
exhibit care and valor.<br />

Keep warm anyway you can! December 2010 had many people across the country strapping on<br />
their boots and unleashing their hidden winter wear in high hopes of surviving the piercing winds.<br />
Many forecasts for December labeled the U.S. as the coldest month since the 1980s. The cold<br />
weather affected everyone, especially with the flu and colds going back and forth. Not only were<br />
the people affected, but the crops were also the target of the ice-cold weather.<br />
Many new record cold temperatures have been set. December 2010 has come to an end and January<br />
records are waiting to be made. However, it is not time to pack away those boots and sweaters<br />
just yet because according to national weather predictions, the weather patterns will continue to<br />
drop in temperature. “Winter dies into the spring, to be born again in the autumn”-Marche Blumenberg.<br />
