IF student
wins Miss
Teen Idaho
Next step for local
contestant is national
competition in April
By David Gasch • Photo courtesy Phillip Pfeiffer
very little girl always fantasizes about being a princess;
senior Shareece Pfeiffer has turned that fantasy
into a reality for herself. Pfeiffer was crowned Miss Teen
Idaho - a precursor to the Miss Teen USA pageant.
Ever since the age of three, she has been in love
with the stage and everything involved with it. She has
performed in a wide variety of competitions including everything
from local high school plays to national competitions.
From there she moved on to landing a supporting role
on the Warner Brothers film, “Unaccompanied Minors.”
Along with representing Idaho to the best of
her ability and the obvious desire to win, she
also hopes that this competition will open
doors for her so that she can continue acting
and singing.
“I believe that having a strong foundation
of faith, family and integrity can
help guide youth through the struggles
they are currently facing in today’s
world,” Pfeiffer said. “I stand firm in
my faith in God.
“I recently received the highest Young
Women medallion award from my
church for exceptional values, integrity
and community service,” she continued.
“My motto has been you must be able to
‘believe it, conceive it and receive it.’”
Pfeiffer expressed her gratitude for
this new opportunity. “I’m thankful
I can serve and represent the state of
Idaho this coming year,” she said. “I
promise to do all I can to uphold the
honor and tradition of the great State
of Idaho and bring home the national
title of Miss Teen USA.”

Some fires

LOS ANGE-
LES — While many
Southern California
wildfires have died
down, several others
raged Wednesday as
firefighters hoped
the winds would
settle enough to help
them get a handle
on the conflagration
still going strong in
Orange and San Diego
counties.
With damages reportedly
exceeding $1
billion in the San Diego
area alone, fire crews
were working on their
fourth day of battling
flames in rough terrain
and heavy brush,
with wildfires working
their way to the
Pacific Ocean in some
cases.
President Bush,
who was due to make
his way to Southern
California Thursday,
issued a major disaster
declaration for the
area. It was the president’s
second declaration
since the fires
struck; the first was
his calling the area in
a state of emergency.
“This declaration
means millions of dollars
in much needed
assistance to help
our state rebuild and
recover. The federal
government did the
right thing,” Gov. Arnold
Schwarzenegger
said in a statement.
The National
Weather Service reported
Sunday that
winds were expected
to die down, but temperatures
would remain
in the 80s and
90s in many of the afflicted
areas.

Driving is a form of
transportation that has
become a necessity for the
majority of people in the
country today, and most
people find themselves
completely lost without
it.
Although it is extremely
beneficial and time
saving, it remains one of
the easiest ways to obtain
serious injury or death.
Many states across the
country have attempted
to enforce a law against
talking on the phone or
doing other distracting
activities while driving.
In seven years, the
number of convictions

as a result of distractions
has increased by over
half. According to local
authorities, mixing activities
such as eating, applying
make-up or using cell
phones with driving has
the potential to be a disastrous
decision.
Idaho has not yet
showed interest in making
such law. Idaho Falls,
however, has a different
idea.
As of right now there
is a proposal that has
been introduced that, if
put into effect, would allow
citizens to be cited
if they are doing things
that could distract them
enough to potentially put
others in harm’s way.
This city ordinance
could possibly lower the
amount of accidents that
occur. That would be
the intended effect. The
tough part of this proposal
is getting approval
from the public.
“It’s stupid,” junior
Chris Bateman said. “If
you can do it (texting)
without crashing you
should be able to.”
Many people have become
as attached to their
phones as they have to
driving. Many people
rely on being able to getting
ready in their car to
get to work or school on
time.
There is also a concern
that high school students
or other young people
could be targeted.
1. What city and country are
you from?
I come from Lausanne, Switzerland.
2. How many people are in

Traditions flourish throughout
Idaho Falls High School. They
can enrich the experience of high
school and provide ways to have fun
as we work our way towards graduation.
One of our most prominent traditions
is not only well known for Idaho
Falls, but also to many others around
the country. This tradition, of course,
is the long held rivalry between IFHS
and Skyline High School.
The Emotion Bowl is an event that
attracts thousands of Idahoans every
year in early October. It is an event
that many past Tigers leave college to
experience. Sports Illustrated, in past
years, rated this high school rivalry
among the top in the country.
This rivalry carries the potential to
be just that — one of the greatest. But
now the tradition is becoming dangerous.
The fun that once flourished is
slowly being pushed away, and soon it
will completely disappear.
Recently, the title “Emotion Bowl”
has started carrying new meanings. It
has become a time when students from
each school prove themselves by fighting
or destroying cars rather than by
winning the game. This year, a large
number of cars were defaced as a result
of Emotion Week. A few years ago
there was an incident where cats were
killed and hung from the goalposts.
These are the most immature and
stupid ways to “celebrate” the coming
of the game. By doing these things
people do nothing but mar the name

There are many traditions that precede the Emotion Bowl — the week we play
Skyline — known as Emotion Week. This week is a fun and memorable time for
the students and also a time to get pumped up for the big game! There are many
activities that the orange student body can participate throughout the week, such
as: car bashing, the gummy bear eating competition and, of course, the famous
Bear Burning. Skyline High School also has its traditions this week such as the
“Tiger Stomp” to get them pumped. Both schools are very spirited during this
week, and even throughout the whole school year. No matter what happens,
everyone knows the rivalry between the Orange and Blue will never die.

that do these things.
Students at IFHS also take

nothing but embarrass

This, in some cases,

told me all about her

I know that it sounds
like a joke or some lame
excuse for not wanting
to read a text book, but
it’s not. The truth is I
really got a grasp on
what kind of things are
out there, and an idea
on what to expect.
I have also learned
a lot of these concepts
through my dad and
our little “daddydaughter

he may believe that it

The Prestige is owned by
a very outgoing, upbeat guy
named George. At the age of 23,
few people can picture themselves
owning their own store.
George use to work at Footlocker
and he strived on saving
money. He has a very impulsive
personality, and after two
years of hard work, he saved
up enough money to open
Sparks and later, The Prestige.
Before too long, George plans
on opening another Prestige in
Salt Lake City, Utah.

Aback.”
The album is well known
for the song, “Do You Feel,”
which depicts how it is
sometimes hard to help
other people, let alone the
world, when you have so
many things of your own to
take care of and how sometimes
you have to help yourself
first.
The chorus of this song
says, “Do you feel the
weight of the world singing
sorrow?/Or to you is it just
not real ‘cause you got your
own things?/Yeah, we all
have our things, I guess.”
It is a good album with
catchy tunes and it is easy to
relate to the lyrics in many of
the songs, like “Do You Feel.”
However, the downfall
of the album is that it only
has about four or five good
songs on it. The songs don’t
differ very much from each
other they way they are
played and sung either.
I would give this album a
grade of C.

A 34-7 record was
all that Coach Wendy
Johnson could ask for.
“I think that the
season went really
well for us this year,”
Johnson said. “We
were 34-7 and we are
going to be heading to
State.”
Johnson looks forward
doing well at
State. “I think we are
going to be in one of
the top four teams at
State,” she said. “We
will be looking forward
to earning some
hardware, aka, a big
trophy.”
The coach said that
one of the best parts of
this year was the team
was a small team, but
a very athletic team
that is one of the best
in the state.
The overall season
went very good for
our Lady Tigers. They

Thirteen wins, three losses
and one tie is what the boy’s
soccer team finished the regular
season with. And they didn’t
stop there.
The boy’s soccer team has
been eliminated in the first

but it was a different story this
year. The Tigers beat the very
good Centennial in their first
game of the state tournament.
The boys went on to take
third place at the tournament.

ne of every athletes worst fear is getting
injured.
Unfortunately for some athletes, getting
hurt is a yearly event, such as junior
Dan Taylor, who broke his arm his sophomore
year and has now torn his ACL just this season.
“It sucks I get hurt so much,” Taylor said. “It really
discourages me for the next season.”
After a particular hard hit on Oct. 24 JV football
game, sophomore Devan Munk was taken off the
field to the hospital.
“It was pretty much the scariest thing I’ve ever
seen,” friend and teammate Jared Johnson, sophomore,
said. “I thought he was paralyzed or worse;
he just didn’t get up.”
“He was so still,” friend and teammate Blake Backman,
sophomore,
said. “At least he
is OK now.”
Fortunately
Munk’s injury
was only a serious
concussion, putting him out of school for a couple
days.
Injuries don’t just happen in high school; they also
happen in pro sports and at the college level as well.
This year in the NFL, the Buffalo Bills had a scare when
a player did not get up from the ground after making
a tackle.
Kevin Everett made a tackle in the Buffalo Bills -
Denver Broncos game Sept. 9 and did not get up. He

he was paralyzed from the neck down. The doctors

of right now Kevin Everett is walking with the help
of a specialized walker.
For many people sports are the best way to have
fun, but sometimes it can be harmful and unforgiving.
At times athletes obtain injuries so dreadful that
they never get up to go again. “The key is to not let
injury scare you away from what you do,” physical
therapist Darren Robinson said. “If you do get hurt,
just take the steps necessary to recover.”
Tiger’s season, they only lost
two games while winning the
rest to get them a State berth.
In the state tourney, the girls
lost an epic game in the first
round to be eliminated.
Both teams represented
IF as very good contenders
throughout the season. Both
teams are looking forward to
dominating every team they
play next season.
