Athletic bias taken into question
ASHLEY LE | BARON BANNER
Baron Banner looks into distribution of facilities and equipment
for male and female sports following the start of an investigation
of Edison
High School by the U.S. Department of Education.
After an investigation started late last year by the U.S.
Department of Education of Edi-son High School regarding equal
access to equipment, coaching and medical facilities for female
athletes, Baron Banner decided to look at access to Fountain
Val-ley High School equipment and facilities for both boys and
girls sports. We spoke to male and female athletes from
basket-ball, soccer and track as well as coaches and Athletic
Directors and asked them questions regard-ing equal access.
The athletic depart-ment stated in an email that they believe in
a fair and equitable educational environment for all students. Both
female and male athletes confirmed this notion. Track member
Carolyn Koo (16) noted gender does not play a factor in her coaches
expectations. Our coaches believe that girls arent dolls...females
are athletes too and should be trained regardless of gender, Koo
said. She explained that coaches maintain an intense level of
training, in weight lifting for example, for female athletes. We
get trained the same way as the boys do, said Koo. Male members of
tracks distance teams agreed.
I feel that our school, both men and women, have equal access to
both coaching and equipment, as such there appears to be no
apparent gender discrimination, said Kenneth Barrios (15). Soccer
players have similar access and mentioned that coaches from
different sports and levels work hard to avoid sched-uling and
facility conflicts. We share the equip-ment equally, said Karley
Duda (17). Both varsity boys and girls, know each other well and
split the equipment, and our coaches respect each others space.

FVHS boys basketball team
constructs a book club
This year, the boys varsity basketball team took training to new
heights through the creation of a book club. which has inspired the
players to exemplify leadership, good morals, and attention to
detail on and off the court. Coach and English teacher, Steve
Schultz, created the book club for the varsity boys basketball team
in order to promote leadership among his team. Each week, play-ers
meet in Schultzs room during lunch to discuss the book, Coach
Woodens Greatest Secret...How Little Things Make Big Things Happen,
by Pat Wil-liams. We come in at lunch and then there is one person
on the team who leads the book club. Its usually on one chapter.
Then, [Schultz] just talks about [the book] and we joke around and
laugh. It taught us about how the little things matter, said Nathan
Hong (16).
The book club first originated at Los Alamitos, where Schultz
used to be the coach of the varsity team. Its legacy continued as
Schultz took over the book club of previous FV football coach Ray
Fenton. Each year, the book club focuses on a different theme. This
year, it is Details Make the Difference. I thought that the main
thing lacking from this basketball program before I got here was
attention and detail, said Schultz. I think most people would cut
corners and look for a short cuts...you have to be someones whos
moti-vated by all the details. Through this book club, not only has
Schultz combined both his passions for teaching through mentor-ing
players on the court and students in class, but he has also
inspired leadership among players. [he book club meet-ings] make me
a better person outside of school, not just for myself, said Jake
Garrett (17).
Varsity players hit the books and learn that aside from the
court, the small details in life
matter.

Jenny Son (15) I would tell them to just be themselves and not
try to improve themselves to impress others. I just feel that if
you spend less time thinking about impressing others and all that,
you will have more time to focus on other things and truly be
happy. When youre not worrying about how to better yourself for
others youll have time to appreciate other things and like
basically enjoy your time.
Kali Green (15) Just know that youre never alone in hard thing
that you go through. Theres always good to have someone there for
you and someone that really cares about you and [its good] to know
that youre loved Its always good for someone mentally and
psychologically to have people that really care about them. And its
good for you to just have people to go to whenever you need to talk
to someone, even though youre not in a trial persay.

tell him, kinda cliche but like , keep pushing through you know the
good times are ahead. Theres always good and bad times in life For
me it would be last year, lets see I was in AP Chem and I got into
League of Legends and my grades started dropping and it felt really
bad because, I felt I couldnt get out of that, the low grades. I
started studying harder and quit league and brought my grades up
and it felt really good.

From the moment she began as the new guidance specialist,
Lindsey Garrett defied all odds to take on the role all while
keeping a smile on her face. Garrett went to El Toro High School
before attending Cal State Monterey Bay where she played
volleyball. There, she
worked as a business consultant before realizing she wanted to
do something more meaningful with her life. She soon began helping
ROP courses and coaching high school volleyball, which moti-vated
her to become a counselor for high school students. I actually
didnt start in guidance or education at all, said Garrett. I
started in the business sector and I worked a lot of hours and I
worked really hard. Garrett comes to Foun-tain Valley High School
from
Huntington Beach High School. There, she was the ROP advisor and
career specialist. Now as the guidance specialist for students with
the last name F through L, she hopes to make her
office an open place for students. I am always open to help
students with their sched-uling, help them as well make good
decisions for what classes they should take and Im here for

New guidance specialist joins FVHS family
AHMED FAYADSTAFF WRITER& KATRYA LYNEWS EDITOR
For two years, UCLA has been working with FVHS students to
conduct a psychology study called Adolescents Coping With Everyday
Stress, regarding student stress. According to Hannah Nguyen, a
postdoctoral scholar from UCLA, the goal is to understand the daily
experience of teenagers and how cultural aspects can affect their
stress and their coping techniques. At the beginning of the study,
earlier this year, the entire sophomore class was given a survey in
their social studies classes. Then from the results of the survey,
students were selected to undergo a screening process before a
select group were chosen to be a part of the two wellness programs
designed to prevent depression. The first program, called Learning
to Breath, focused on mindfulness. Students were encouraged to take
notice of their everyday actions, such as walk-ing, eating and
breathing. They were taught to focus on their current situation
rather than allowing negative emotions to overwhelm them.
Oftentimes you hear students share that they some-times pay so much
attention to their worries and it really leads
to feelings of anxiety. it really takes the focus away from
them, said Nguyen. The second program, was an interpersonal therapy
program (IPT), geared towards improving students relationships with
their family and friends. From the study, common stress-ors are
interpersonal relation-ships, such as with parents and friends, as
well as academics. The idea is that if those relationships are
doing well, if those relationships are healthy and if were
communicating well with people, letting them know what we need and
theyre letting us know what they need, that also tends to decrease
stress, depres-sion and some of those indicators that were worried
about, said school psychologist, Cynthia Olaya. After the two
12-week wellness programs, exit inter-views were conducted by the
UCLA researchers. Nguyen stated that the teenagers who were
involved spoke positively about the program. One thing we got away
from [the exit interviews] is that students learned that they are
not aloneother people also share
their experiences, said Nguyen. Recently, the study was
introduced to a new group of students for the second semes-ter.
Instead of sophomores, juniors will be the focus this time around.
Due to limited funding, the study is directed only towards
sophomores and juniors because according to Nguyen, 10th and 11th
grade are two critical years in regards to college acclimation, so
they are more intense for high school students than freshmen and
senior years. In addition, the study is focused on
Vietnamese-American and European-Amer-ican students, also due to
limited funding from the National Insti-tutes of Health. Nguyen
stated that if the program continues to go well during the second
semester, she and those who are involved would like to continue the
pro-gram at FVHS, hopefully with a grant from UCLA. Our hope is
really to support the teens and have them develop healthy
strategies, healthy ways to manage the dif-ferent hassles they have
to deal with in their daily lives, said Nguyen.
UCLA psychology study aims to improve
student mindfulness and interpersonal
relationships.

According to varsity girls coach Scott Goldman, collaboration
between coaches helps maintain a cooperative atmosphere. It is a
very fair ar-rangement, Goldman stated. We also work together to
ensure that we arrange our training and game schedules to have as
little conflict with each others programs as pos-sible. The boys
basketball teams had positive com-ments regarding the equity among
the teams as well. I think [the boys and girls teams] are equal
because theres many cases where the varsity girls team had center
court and varsity boys had to move to the side court girls have
their own time to be on the court and guys have their own time. I
think its equal, said former varsity basketball player Chris Meyer
(16). The girls basketball teams also stated the both teams had
fair access to prac-tice time in the gym. Varsity captain Ashley
Masuda (15) said, For the most part, [the boys and girls teams]
have equal access because they do give us times. Maybe theyre not
necessarily the best times that wed want all the time, but thats
just going to hap-pen because of compromise.
Equal access to facilities and treatment of boys and girls teams
may not always be readily apparent. At the conclusion of a recent
girls varsity basketball game, a Baron Banner reporter noticed that
the team put away the chairs, when at the previous boys game the
team moved immediately to their locker room. In response to this
observation, Co-Athletic Director Dawn Lawler said, The players of
all levels, coaches and parents for all gym sports help in the set
up and teardown of the games each night. Later, Meyer noted that
the first team to use the courts had to set up, while the last team
to use the courts held the responsibility of cleaning up. After
looking at sports that share courts and fields, Baron Banner has
found that girls and boys teams, coaches, and the ath-letic
administrators work in concert to maintain fair and equal access to
their respec-tive arenas and equipment.

Girl Scout Cookie Season is back on with new changes
CELINE HOANG & ZAINAB KHANSTAFF WRITERS
Rising prices in Girl Scout Cookies has led to apprehensive
attitudes about the
yearly cookie sale.
With Girl Scout Cookies back in season, many students have mixed
feelings about the recent changes in the cookiess price. The Girl
Scout Cookie Program is the third-largest cookie company in the
world. It is the largest girl-led business in the world. For every
box of Girl Scout Cookies that is bought, approximately two-thirds
of the purchase is used by the Girl Scout Councils in the
commu-nity. Well to begin with I already thought that four dollars
was pretty expensive because it was just for a small box of
cook-ies so when they raised the price to five dollars I guess that
kinda sucked, said Sara Nguyen, (18) This year, the price has
increased to $5 a box, instead of
$4, in response to the rising costs by ABC Bakers, the Girl
Scouts cookie bakery. Some students believe the that the cookies
were already overpriced, and now theyre too expensive. I do think
the increase from $4 to $5 was a lot and defi-nitely unnecessary.
The price in-crease to $5 had discouraged a lot of students from
buying cookies, but it does after all go towards a great cause.
said Tiffany Tieu 15 who participates in a Vietnamese Ambassador
Girl troop. However, some believe that because the Girl Scout
orga-nization is receiving more profit, the price increase is
worthy. I think its fair mainly because I believe that the extra
dollar goes to supporting their organization, said Leo Vo,
(16).
Each troop will receive more profit for each box sold from the
price increase. When prices were $4, the troops earned about 71 to
72 cents per box sold. Now that the price is $5, the Girl Scouts
will earn around $1.05 per box, which goes to-wards the cookie
credit to help fund for both troop activities and
fees. Though the prices may seem to high for some, the Girl
Scouts on campus are selling cookies to raise cookie credit, which
allows them to fund proj-ects, badges, and camps. In the end, the
cookie credit allows them to further their impact on the community
through their
service and leadership skills. I dont think the price range
would really matter because Girl Scout cookies [are] addictive.
Weve been having withdrawals since last year and a couple of bucks
aint keeping me away from my caramel delights, said Preston Nguyen,
(16).

Take a leap into the art of anatomy
Art teacher Mike Eich has been working over-time to help
students with their anatomy drawings in hopes of furthering their
skills.
CHRIS WELLSSTAFF WRITER
Art teacher Mike Eich has been hosting anatomy classes after
school to improve art students work and advance placement portfolio
grades once a month on Fridays for three hours. When Eich began
teaching art at FVHS, he noticed that the AP art test scores were
not as high as he wanted them to be. After investigating, he
learned that the College Board marked down the students portfolios
for lack of human anatomy. Thus, Eich started the anatomy class to
help his AP students improve their skills in anatomy so they could
increase their test scores. Eventually the class branched out to
the animation classes who also needed knowledge of the human body
so they could create their animations. Now the class is open to all
students interested
in learning anatomy. The class has had as many as 45 students
and as little as 10 students during his 15 to 17 years of teaching
it. Anatomy is the ability to draw the human body using live
models. Eichs class shares many similarities with a reg-ular
college class, but the only difference is that the models have to
be clothed with a bathing suit or leotard. Students who choose to
model for the class must be able to stand in a certain stance for
at most three hours and have small breaks in between. Eich charges
each student $5 to take the class. The money is used to pay the
student models for their time and the rest goes towards pizza for
the class. 30 minutes before the class ends, the pizza arrives,
students clean up and take their
best pieces of art, best jester drawings and best long pose
drawing to critique them. The students talk about their art; right
and wrongs, good or bad all of that, said Eich. I dont keep any of
the money; that goes all back to the kids, either to food or back
to pay the model. Eich believes students do not need to be an
artist to take the class; just fate in themselves. Well you have to
have the be-lieve in yourself and ability to draw and willingness
to listen and whats going on. said Eich.

FVHS tennis coach awarded Southern California Coach of the
Year
Fountain Valley High School Coach, Harshul Patel, was chosen by
the U.S PTA for the Coach of the Year award for his work and
contributions to not only tennis, but to the team and students here
at FVHS. The U.S PTA, California division, covers a majority of the
schools on the west coast, rang-ing from schools in San Diego to
schools in San Luis Obispo- covering a total of around 3,000
schools and 4,000 coaches in the
west coast area. Every division of tennis is considered; this
includes head coaches from single girls teams, to head coaches of
boys and girls teams. Files and applications are then sent in by
the schools Athletic Departments. Officials and boards decide on
the recipient of the award by looking over the files and histories
of accomplishments done by the coaches over the year of 2014, and
then a supporting track from the accomplishments of the year
before. I feel great, said Patel. Its one of the best awards. Youre
talking about close to 4,000 plus coaches, head coaches, and youre
one of the best ones. During the process, a committee of eight
members vote between themselves for the recipient, but for Patel,
the vote was unanimously in his favor for
the award, as he later discovered. Its amazing, said Patel.
Patel also claims that he could not have won this award without the
team, and all the members of tennis here at FVHS. Considering the
idea that the team helps makes the coach, the success of the teams
drive and hard work is what has reflected so well on his skills as
a coach. Patel has also begun to offer additional programs for
tennis, and recreational lessons on Fridays for locals interested
in participating. Without them I wouldnt be here. said Patel.
Without their help and support, I wouldnt have been where I am, and
Im very thankful for that.

ASHLEY LE | BARON BANNER
Varsity Co-Captain Larry Turner (15) earned the achieve-ment as
one of the top ten scorers in Orange County for soccer. I do my
best for the team and thank God for the opportunity to be up there,
said Turner. During the preseason games, Turners record was 10
goals and one assist. He is currently ranked third with a total of
11 goals and two
assists, including preseason and up to the second game of Sunset
League. Larry Turner is a hard worker, said varsity soccer player
Kyle McNeil (15). He will never give up on the team and is a true
leader. Turner began playing soccer around fifth grade, making this
year his eighth year of playing soccer. My longterm goal with
soc-cer is to get to college and play, said Turner. And my dream
would be to play for a Division One team.
Turner has high hopes for his team in his senior year of Sunset
League. They all prioritize the same goal: to take the Sunset
League Championship title. Tuner is well aware of the challenges
ahead of him, and he is willing to put everything he has to make
sure he and his team are up to the challenges they have ahead of
them. League is going to be hard, but fun, said Turner. Every game
and every practice we are going to try our hardest, get better and
leave it all out on the field.

Lily Mooney opens up about the world of
pageantry
With her calm and conserva-tive demeanor, senior Lily Mooney
isnt one youd expect to have been runner-up for Miss Fountain
Valley. As she settles into her seat, her nervous smile makes it
evident that she generally doesnt like at-tracting too much
attention to herself. Her modesty gives way to a sparkle in her
eyes as she starts off by recalling her favorite moment during
preparation for the Miss Fountain Valley pageant. [The other
contestants and I] had the chance to eat donuts and watch a little
live performance after a long practice the singing and dancing and,
well, the eating. It brought us all together; we were just having
fun, said Mooney. Mooney entered in her first pageant and came out
as second runner-up for Miss Fountain Valley 2015 on Nov. 1. She
then went on to compete in an open, state-wide pageant for Miss
Orange County 2015 on Jan. 10. I learned so many different life
skills from being part of these two pag-eants that I can hardly
believe I never con-
sidered competing before, shared Mooney. Each pageant is put on
by one of many different organizations and each offers different
titles and rewards. Local, structured pageants such as Miss
Fountain Valley, are a good choice for first-time pageanteers,
since there are many more practices to allow contestants more
preparation. Open pageants, such as Miss Orange County, which are
open to the entire state, are typi-cally for more experienced girls
and have fewer practices. On the morning of the pageant, each
contestant has a private interview. The rest of the competition,
including on-stage questions, fitness, talent, and evening gown, is
open to the public later in the day. The interview has to be the
scariest part because its private and youre with several judges
and...its still very in-timidating. You cant ask anyone for help,
said Mooney. Its also about all the politi-cal events and current
events today, so you have to be up-to-date. So I read CNN, like,
every night to prepare. Both pageants that Mooney participated in
also included a swimsuit portion.
That is scary in that youre parading yourself basically across
the stage in barely any clothing, but it also shows confidence in
yourself. From her experiences in the world of pageantry, Mooney
has realized that for her and other girls to succeed, it is not
about being an ideal young woman. Rather, it is about learning to
have con-fidence in oneself to be able to hold your own onstage. If
you asked me a year ago if I ever would be in a pageant, I probably
would have laughed in your face. I dont fit the pageant girl mold,
Mooney re-marked. She added that although there are certain
elements of truth in what people see of pageants on TV, her own
experience was far from typical. Aside from a few of the more
seasoned girls who appeared slightly intimidating, many of the
other pageanteers at the statewide competition
were very amiable. I personally believe outer beauty should have
nothing to do with the judg-ing process. Its not about the clothes,
or the makeup, or your luck with genetics, but how you present
yourself. Each con-testant is a possible lifelong friend, not just
your competition, she said. Mooney believes that each and every
girl up on stage during Miss Foun-tain Valley was there because
they had the confidence to put themselves out there for the world
to see. In the end, it goes back to the four points of the crown:
style, success, service, and scholarship. Everything that a young
woman needs on her path towards her dream.
Mooney delves into her personal experience with, and the
realities of, pageants.

English teachers set off to UCI once a month to further improve
their skills in the class-room during what is known as the UCI
Writing Project. The UCI conference collects speakers to give
presenta-tions on various topics relating to a theme that year.
Teachers go to speakers and listen to topics that they are
interested in learning more about and can incorporate it into the
classroom. The UCI Writing con-ference [is] where teachers go to
learn how to continually integrate writing into teaching, whether
its teaching English or other things, said English teacher
Elizabeth Taireh.
Teachers can go to a speaker and learn new skills to pull out of
the confer-ence and into the class-room. I at-tended a speaker whom
I have listened too on the same topic maybe five years ago and he
was discussing ways to incorporate authentic writing activities,
said English teacher Lauren Bielefeld. So get-ting students to
write commen-taries and his session basically in-volved him having
us participate and write the commentary for a poem he had us read
as a class. With teachers informed with new strategies, it helps
the teachers build communication with the students. It pulls
the
teacher out of their comfort zone and keeps students out of a
repetitive state to help them focus in the classroom and understand
in new different ways. I think this benefits the student because we
all come away with something new and in-novative practice to either
bring back. As a reminder like hey, you should be doing this, said
English teacher Amy Futagaki. Guest speaker Sheridan Blau and key
speaker Carol Jago
both taught innovative new techniques at the UCI conference.
Blau spoke of incorporate au-thentic writing activities and how to
apply them to high school and ele-mentary school level. Jago was a
well respected presenter who talked about the importance of reading
literary text. She had
a lot of suggestions on how to incorporate different types of
text into the classrooms. Jago also demonstrated how teachers could
bring all these ideas that dont seem to be in any way connected
together and connect them. She brought in paintings, poems and
stories and connected things that dont seem to have any
similarities. We were looking of a picture of ebola and the places
to treat ebola and it was amazing because she broke down the
psy-
chology of it and thats what we do in literature too, said
Taireh. So she translate what we do in reading to other activities
and gives us ideas on how to bring that into other activates we do
to teach in the classroom. said Taireh The UCI conference is a part
of a bigger project where teachers can participate in an intense
four week summer program after the writing project once a month
during the course of the school year. Teachers can go meet and
focus on one area of interest to study and give pre-sentations on
it. The conferences help teachers become skilled inside the
classroom and helps improve how students learn. I have been doing
it for a long time and its my fifth or sixth year going to the
confer-ence and every time I go there is always something new, said
Taireh. Its fun to get together and see people there with other
teachers and it gets you excited just like how students love to
work with each other, we love that. Its a nice time to just get out
of your comfort zone and meet with new people and hear new
ideas.
Teachers attend the UCI writing con-ference to further improve
learning skills within the
classroom.
