2016 Europe Trip introduces students and staff to Italy
By Cleo Williams
The word “Italy” often evokes
thoughts of ancient buildings, men with
slicked-back hair and plates full of pasta.
The pasta part is no lie, but it seems that in
today’s media the true multi-faceted culture of the country seems to be lost between
stereotypes. To uncover the culture behind
the clichés, twenty-four Scarlett students
accompanied by teachers Rob Brown, Ron
Schwartz, Natalie Mcleod, and Ayesha Shaikh spent their time exploring the historicallyrich landscapes of Italy for ten days during
spring break.The Europe Trip is an annual
tradition at Scarlett and following the fortyfive student adventure across Belgium and
Germany from last year, the group seemed
small but the trip was no less exciting. The
Scarlett students embarked on a journey that
took them through the rolling hills of Rome,
the sinking streets of Venice and ultimately
left them with a better understanding of the
illustrious European country.
After an eighteen-hour day of travel and crossing five time zones it would have
been an understatement to call the group
tired. Keeping eyes opened was a difficult
feat, yet even riddled with jetlag it was impossible to ignore the beauty of Rome. The
group was accompanied by an excited tour
guide, Francesca, at the airport who would
stick with the group for the remainder of the
trip. Arrival to the hotel was met with awe
at the beautiful views of the lake from the
terrace and disappointment when everyone
noticed the giant and steep hill that had to be
climbed in order to make it to the front door
of the hotel. With no other choice, heavy
suitcases were lugged up the hill where the
staff was ready to serve dinner. The first
meal in Italy foreshadowed all the meals that
were to come. Crusty bread was served with
olive paste and bruschetta for an appetizer,
followed by a tossed salad, pasta for the
main course, and tiramisu for dessert. The
meal pattern was mostly the same throughout the entire trip which left students asking:
how much pasta can a person eat!?!
The first full day was spent gallivanting around all of the popular tourist at-
tractions in Rome; the first stop was the Col- ary ceiling of the Sistine Chapel would do

places one has only ever seen on postcards, the flesh presented the same surreal feeling
and the experience to some was like stepping as stepping into the Colosseum. With necks

one of the most visited tourist destinations
in Rome and has become somewhat of a celebrity in its own right by being featured in
movies such as When in Rome, Roman Holiday, and many more.
There were no mundane moments
on the trip, even the areas travelled through
contained breathtaking scenery. Getting
around mostly by bus and once by gondola,
the group became familiar with the Italian countryside. Abandoned mansions and
mountains covered in thick forest became
normal sites out of the windows. The hills
were always smattered with humble brick
villas that resembled those out of a storybook. The awe of the first day never truly
subsided.
The first of many galleries visited
was Galleria Borghese in Rome. This gallery
housed paintings by great Renaissance artists
such as Raffaello, Bernini, and Correggio.
Although each room was covered in priceless artwork, it was arguable that the ceilings
were the true showstoppers. Each room had
a different masterpiece looking down upon
the art viewers. The gallery opened up to a
scenic park, where after being inspired by
ancient works of art the group was taught
how to paint their own. The instructor, who
was an artist in New York, explained the history of watercolour and then left the group
to use their own creativity taking inspiration
from the beauty that lay around them.
The next day was all about Pompeii. At 150 acres, Pompeii is the world’s
largest excavation and archeological site.
The ancient city, that served as the Las Vegas of the Roman Empire, was destroyed by
the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD.
The eighty-year-old tour guide knew a startling amount of information and shared with
students some of the secrets of Pompeii; for
example, that there were gambling rooms on
top of every house and that arrows on the
street lead to brothels.

Scarlett welcomes new science teacher, Brendan Wiebe
By Tajmee Ali
and Zainab Warraich
As Scarlett students embark on their
second semester, the school welcomes new
teachers. Scarlett’s science department continues to grow as Brendan Wiebe, a full-time
teacher and part-time tie-enthusiast, joins
the science team as a new grade ten teacher.
Teaching both Grade 10 science and online
C.A.L.M., Wiebe has quickly established a
strong reputation among his students as a dynamic teacher. Initially starting his career as
a science student teacher at Fairview Junior
High School in grades eight and nine, and
later as a physics substitute teacher at Scarlett, Wiebe is now finally enlisted as a Dr.
E.P. Scarlett High School teacher. The following is an exclusive interview with Wiebe
and his perspective on teaching, his experience in the science field, and his students.
FEVER: What are some of your favourite
movies/TV shows?
Wiebe: When Breaking Bad was still going,
I liked that. It wasn’t entirely because I’m
a science teacher, it was just a really good
show. I like all kinds of movies, I watch both
old and new movies. I’m not a super fan of
superhero movies but I don’t mind those either.
FEVER: What are some of your hobbies or
interests outside of school?
Wiebe: I grow pepper plants, I suppose. It’s
one of my weird hobbies. I started growing
them when I was about 11 years old, because I thought peppers were cool. I heard
that habanero pepper could burn through
steel, which it can’t, but that lie got me into
peppers, soon I began growing them. Now, I
grow all kinds of pepper plants.
FEVER: If you only had 24 hours to live,
what would you do?
Wiebe: I’m not sure. I know people talk
about that you should live everyday like its
your last, but if you did that then you’d never
get anything done since you wouldn’t plan
anything for tomorrow. Maybe, I would just
end up coming to school.
FEVER: What are some places you want to
travel to before you die?
Wiebe: Space would be sweet, if I could be
an astronaut. I’m not sure how realistic that
is, because the cost of space travel is going
down. It’s still pretty tough being an astronaut, I know NASA just hired a bunch, and
they are crazy amazing people. Usually, they
have seven doctorates and speak 40 languages. Anyhow, space would be sweet, that is
my number one destination.

when I went to high school, I went to Lord
Beaverbrook, and Beaverbrook is a much
larger school than Scarlett is, which has it’s
pros and cons. I like both for different reasons, but Scarlett seems quite nice.
FEVER: What are some words that describe
your teaching style?
Wiebe: It would probably be better to ask
the students, but I try to be enthusiastic when
I can, so maybe enthusiasm, and my humour,
although everyone kind of thinks they’re
funny so it’s hard to tell whether or not you
are really funny compared to others. I find I
talk a lot, so maybe talkative. I usually talk
more than I’d like. Hopefully, I’m also helpful or kind or willing to help at least.
FEVER: How do you grade your students,
and to what extent do you criticize them?
Wiebe: I try to grade my students by usually figuring out, when they do a lesson, how
well I want my students to do, so I have an
idea of what they should be able to do – and
then typically, most of the time, it tends to
work out. They end up doing what I thought
they would do, or they bluntly don’t do what
I taught them to do. Then, based off of that, I
figure out a grade, and I try to think of more
or less on average how the students are doing, and then work off of that. I try to be as
fair and consistent I guess.
FEVER: What other career path do you see
yourself going to, if you weren’t a teacher?
Wiebe: If I wasn’t a teacher, I have wanted
to be a teacher for a long time but I thought
maybe what I could also do instead is become a university professor. Mostly since
they also do teaching, I guess, but they also
do a lot of research as well. I was actually
planning on doing that for a little bit instead
of teaching, but then I found that the research
wasn’t quite as fun as I thought it would be.
FEVER: Where do you see yourself in ten
years?
Wiebe: I’m not super sure; I’m not very
good at planning too far ahead. I am good
at planning the next unit in the course I’m
teaching, but planning years ahead, I’m not
super certain. I guess, I’d like to be a teacher,
a more experienced one, I suppose.
Scarlett looks forward to concluding the second semester and hopefully another year with Wiebe. Scarlett’s staff and
students wish Wiebe good luck as he continues his journey of a new teacher at Dr.
E.P. Scarlett High School and shares his intensive knowledge of science with his peers
and students.

Dr. E.P. Scarlett High School gives a big welcome to
the new Grade 10 humanities teacher, Nazneen Doyle
By Aisyah Ghazali
Nazneen Doyle recently came to
Dr. E.P. Scarlett this semester, starting her
first teaching assignment. As a lover of literature with a huge passion for world history,
Doyle teaches both English and Social Studies. When asked what the most important
thing to know about her is, Doyle responded
with her being a “huge nerd.” She is a big fan
of Star Trek and is a huge film buff. During
her spare time, she frequently plays tabletop
gaming, especially Dungeons and Dragons,
which she has been playing consecutively
for five years. The FEVER had the wonderful opportunity to interview Doyle and was
able to ask her some questions.
FEVER: Have you taught in previous
schools?
DOYLE: Well, this is my first full-time
teaching position. While I was in school, at
the University of Calgary, I did my practicum - that’s where you practice teaching
experience in a couple of different schools.
Then in September I started subbing, so I
subbed in various schools between September and January. I subbed here a lot and I
really liked it. It was my favourite, so I was
really excited to be asked to come work here.
FEVER: What was your first impression of
Scarlett?
DOYLE: Just that it was such a great place.
The first time I ever subbed here, I was subbing for Mr. Calderwood and the day was
so wonderful. Everyone was just so helpful
and the kids were so great. The atmosphere
and the building was really positive and I
just immediately felt like this was the place
I wanted to come back to. Scarlett is just a
really supportive environment for teachers.
FEVER: Did you always want to be a teacher?

Scarlett Robotics competes in international tournament
By Aisyah Ghazali
The Scarlett Robotics Club, Team
4733, annually competes in tournaments
held by the international organization, For
Inspiration and Recognition of Science and
Technology (F.I.R.S.T.). Team 4733 competes in the Western Canada Regional for
the First Robotic Competition (FRC), and
this would be Calgary’s fourth annual one.
The tournament was held at the Olympic
Oval from April 3-5. In addition to the Canadian teams, international teams from the
US, Mexico, Israel and Australia attended,
making it over 35 teams competing in FRC.
The tournament is truly a big event, filled
with top-level youth competitors, and Team
4733 had been preparing for months for the
competition.

help from its alumni, totaling over thirty
graduates. The Scarlett Robotics Club has
been going on for years, and each year they
participate in the FRC, aiming for the gold.
The robotics tournaments are
unique in their own way, as it is executed
in a battle-like style. Two teams of three robots, called Alliances, compete against each
other. Their objective or Quest is to breach
their opponents’ fortifications, weaken their
tower with boulders, and capture the opposing tower. To score points, the robots would
break into their opponent’s defenses and
shoot boulders through goals in the opposing
tower, much like soccer. During the final 20
seconds of the Quest, robots may surround
and scale the opposing tower to capture it,
and win the challenge.

FEVER: What is one goal you would like to
accomplish in your lifetime?
Carpenter: I want to live until I’m 100,
and travel the world, which would be pretty
neat. I would also like to bring change to
the world, not necessarily scientifically, but
in general. The change in our world that’s
happening is absolutely brilliant and I would
definitely like to be a contributing part of it.
FEVER: What is the greatest piece of advice someone has ever given you?
Carpenter: In terms of my job it was to basically become comfortable as much as you
can – especially in terms of teaching as it really brings numerous opportunities. Also to
not pigeonhole myself in just one subject,
but be able to teach not just biology, but
chemistry, and physics, any science like that.
Just being flexible, really, in job opportunities, and following your passions – do what
you want to do, not what people tell you to
do. So pick a career path that you wish to do
for a long and time that you enjoy.
FEVER: What is one important skill you
think every teacher should have?
Carpenter: Organization skills are nice
to have, probably not necessary but it has
its benefits. You need to be able to talk to
people as well, in a realistic way, meaning
not just criticizing or just simply teaching.
Basically communication is the key, being
able to converse with your class or just other
people.
FEVER: What is the best part about being
a teacher?
Carpenter: The best part is definitely the
standard answer-getting the summer off. I
put in pretty long hours during the school
year. Doing what you love, if you enjoy being a teacher; I do enjoy coming in here every day and teaching about something I’m
passionate about and seeing people I enjoy
spending time with.
FEVER: This is the last question. If you
were famous what would you be famous for?
Carpenter: If I was famous – honestly I really enjoy those science TV shows like Bill
Nye or Hank Green’s online crash courses.
So if I were to be famous hopefully it would
be for something like that, some kind of educational show that was just a little bit out
there and hopefully a little funny.
Students and staff welcome Carpenter, hoping to conclude the second semester on a joyous note. All members of Dr.

in retaliation. Executing this, however, was
no easy feat, as it is challenging to find the
proper measurements. Team 4733’s robot
was also at an advantage, since no other robot was able to block its throws. This is
due to the robot’s arm, which goes up and
down with a pulley system that had two motors to push it back up, leaving no room for
error.
Scarlett, unfortunately, did not
too late.
As Scarlett students commence
their second semester, the school warmly
welcomes new teachers. Taryn Carpenter, a
science teacher and enthusiast, expands the
school’s science department and quickly becomes an office favourite as she occasionally shares her wonderful cooking skills with
the staff members. Previously working as a
teacher for a semester at Forest Lawn High
School and as a substitute teacher at Scarlett,
the FEVER is proud to officially welcome as
an E.P. Scarlett science teacher.
FEVER: Tell us a bit about yourself.
Carpenter: Okay, well I’m a science teacher. I have a degree in biology from the University of Victoria. I come from a very modern family,as I have four half-siblings and
three step-siblings and numerous parents...
So it’s a little bit crazy. I like the colour purple and chocolate as well.
FEVER: How do you feel about E.P. Scarlett?
Carpenter: It’s a really great school with
a really nice culture. Everyone is super
friendly, and probably the nicest students
I’ve come across in the city of Calgary are at
Scarlett. I seem to get along well here, with
wonderful teachers and administration. It really makes for a great experience.
FEVER: How do you grade your students,
and to what extent do you criticize their
work?
Carpenter: Hopefully I grade fairly – science is all about what you understand of the
work, and a lot of the material is very black
and white. However, for criticism I also talk
to them about how they can improve their
answers by expanding on their explanations
or rounding out their answers. So, we’re
working on positive things. I try not to criticize in a negative way to bring them down
because that isn’t really getting anywhere.
That would be very discouraging, so I try to
be encouraging and promote good discussions to help them succeed, not only in this
course but other ones as well.
FEVER: Why did you choose this career?
Do you have passions for any other subjects
besides science?
Carpenter: I’ve known I wanted to be a
teacher for a very long time, even though
I was in a different career field for a little
bit. I always knew this is where I was going
to end up. I just love the material – I love
learning about science. I love teaching it.
This year Team 4733 only built one robot,
a drivetrain that includes 10-inch wheels.
The wheel size was essential to get the robot over the terrain of obstacles, in order to
succeed at the Quest. When it came to its
firepower, the robot had two wheels on either side side of its hand enabling it to shoot
tiny little balls at their opponents. The hands
of the robot were able to to move in oppo-
fare too well in the competition and was
unable to proceed on to the finals. “The
reason is because we had such a complex
design, so we got caught up on some of the
wrong things,” explained Lekster. During
the competition, the team kept losing communication with the robot several times, due
to everything being wireless from the field.
Much later on, they realized the root of the
problem was that the battery kept knocking
the wire off from its port, but by then it was
Despite their less-than-favourable
results, Scarlett’s robotics team performed
exceptionally well in the First Robotic
Competition. To even qualify to attend the
competition requires a great deal of skill
and hardwork. The FEVER congratulates
Team 4733 in their participation in the international tournament, representing the
best of Scarlett.

Scarlett gives innovative ideas at the Navigate Summit
By Eima Dafalla
From March 10 to the 13,
Maddy Yeomans, Chloe Theissen,
Nick Heida, Spencer Neufeld, all
Grade 12, had the opportunity to
attend this year’s Navigate Summit.
The three-day summit is a one of
a kind opportunity for students
and teachers to learn and work
toward advancing environmental
literacy in Alberta. Students
parttake in activities that allow
them to meet and network with
influential people to discuss their
role in Alberta’s future. During this
event, the promotion of education
and the environment are achieved
by taking learning outside of the
classroom. Students and teachers
designed meaningful projects and
explored innovative ideas. The
2016 Navigate Summit was held
in the beautiful Rocky Mountains
at the edge of Banff National
Park at the Coast Canmore Hotel.

The Navigate Summit is helpful in promoting enviromental stewardship
of Banff. The summit encouraged
students and teachers from allover
Alberta to focus on
environmental issues that face
Alberta today. The topics that were
discussed included renewable and
non-renewable resources with an
emphasis on water, forest, and
energy development; effects on
Alberta’s watersheds; climate
change; species at risk; and water
management. Participants were also
exposed to environmentalresearch,

students in school to benefit
the environment. The Scarlett

campaign was held at the cafeteria
foyer during lunch on Earth Week.
“We had some microscopes out
as well as some displays to show
students what these micro-plastics
really look like. The whole point
was to get people to start looking
at what’s in the products they buy.
Anything with ingredients such

This year’s Navigate
Summit featured noted adventurer,
Julie Angus, as a keynote speaker.
Angus is the first woman to row
across the Atlantic Ocean from
mainland to mainland. She has
also cycled across continents,
rowed thousands of kilometres
of coastlines and rivers, and
organized an expedition that
sailed the ancient Phoenician
trading routes. She spoke about
overcoming challenges in extreme
environments and inspired students
to reach their goals.
The Navigate Summit
allowed students from Scarlett to
share and gain information with
many other students from all over
Alberta. The FEVER would like
to acknowledge the hard work and
dedication these students have put
forth about a very important issue
that the world still faces today.

The Calgary Zoo welcomes new additions to its family
By Sydney Crosby
Over the past few years
the zoo has been home to many
changes, some sad and others happy, but the Calgary Zoo ensures
that people have a good time when
coming for a visit.
Many wish they could
travel back in time. Well, now its
possible with the updates made to
the Dinosaurs Alive exhibit. This
attraction was such a hit in 2015
that the zoo staff made it even bigger and better. There is now a stage
in the dinosaur area that features
performances by Wagonstage.
Be prepared for special shows by
Sam, the dino expert and his pal
Rex. As well, there are tons of programs, at the new interpretive centres, to aid in exploring the world
as it was 56 million years ago. The
dino section has three different
paths to choose from, each leading
to different fun activities including
16 life-like roaring statues, water
cannons in the back lagoon, a T-rex
slide, piles of fake poo and eggs to
pose for photos next to, and a fossil
digging site. For more fun than all

Earth Day provides students with tips on doing their part
By Wenonah
North Peigan
April 22 this year marked
the annual Earth Day. Earth Day
pose is to get the world, including
6 million Canadians to participate
in an environmental activity in
their own community.
The first Earth Day was
fort to protest the Industrial Revolution. It soon became a global
movement.
In fact in 2009, the United Nations renamed the day, “In-
Here at Dr. E.P. Scarlett, the Environment Club is doing their own part to help out the planet outside of the library
is regarded as the largest environmental event in the world. Its pur-
celebrated on April 22, 1970, originally in the United States in an ef-
ternational Mother Earth Day.”
If Lancers are interested
in doing their own environmental
clean up, there is no need to wait
for one day a year. Here are some
helpful and efficient tips for students to do their own part.
Turn game consoles off.
By enabling a game system, such
as an Xbox to power down after an
automatically slated time, this in
turn saves up to 3 times the amount
of energy. Also by streaming films
on the console it is using up to 10
times as much energy per hour,
so streaming on a laptop is much
more efficient alternative.
Buying a reusable water bottle. This one is pretty selfexplanatory. Not only is using a
refillable water bottle a cheaper
option in the long run, it is also
environmentally conscious. Just
in Toronto alone, only 35 percent
of 100 million plastic water bottles
are recycled a year. Most end up
in landfills, or worse, lakes and
oceans.
Opening the curtains.
During the daytime, keeping lights
on runs up the energy bill and
wastes energy that is not needed. If
one were to have the curtains open
as opposed to turning the lights on
this saves otherwise wasted energy.
Make laundry more efficient. By using cold water and
doing full loads, doing laundry
can be much more efficient. Heat,
mechanical energy, is what uses 90
percent of the energy going into
one washing machine load, and
despite common myths, cold water
does fully clean laundry. By doing full loads of laundry, it ensures
that extra loads are not being done,
thereby saving energy.
Bringing a personal
mug. Most coffee houses, Starbucks and Tim Hortons included,
accept people bringing their own
mugs. In fact, at Starbucks there is
a 10 cent discount. While this may
not seem like a lot, if someone who
gets coffee everyday applies this
method, there is plenty of money
to be saved.
Utilize
rechargeable
batteries. While it may seem like
a hefty cost at first, these batteries will prove to be worth it in the
end as they truly end up being a
cheaper alternative. If one is still
opposed to them, learn the proper
way to dispose of old batteries. The
city of Calgary suggests checking
out a local retailer or contacting
Alberta’s Recycling Hotline for
more info.

NDP ousts Mulcair, and introduces the LEAP manifesto
By Misha Mustaqeem
The NDP, still reeling from the
disastrous 2015 Federal Election loss where
they saw many of their supporters gravitate
towards the Liberals (due to a combination
of issues including a loss of support in
Eastern Canada, a surge in the youth vote,
and a perception of Thomas Mulcair as
being combative), has decided to oust Tom
Mulcair out of the leadership position.
During the NDP policy convention
in Edmonton on April 8, 2016, Tom Mulcair
was subject to a leadership review. He had
to have 50% of delegates to support him.
Unfortunately for him, 52% of delegates
voted against him continuing being the
leader of the New Democrats, commencing
a leadership contest that might be held
in 2018. This is the second time that the
NDP has had to have a leadership contest
following the death of Jack Layton back in
2011, which saw Mulcair elected as leader.
While Mulcair will remain as
party leader until the new leader is chosen,
prospective candidates’ names have already
been floated around. Charlie Angus, Niki
Ashton and Daniel Blaikie have all been
speculated by the media to run, although
there are already a few candidates that have across Alberta, and stated the delegates

Syria’s condition will drastically worsen

the Arab League, for instance Saudi Arabia,
Oman, United Arab Emirates, and Bahrain
are often eyed by political leaders for being notoriously prosperous and taking in a
scarce number of refugees. Struggling Arab
nations that border Syria, such as Lebanon,
Jordan, and Sudan, have graciously accepted
refugees despite already struggling economically. Syria’s future looks inevitably
bleak without international aid and widespread media coverage to bring more attention to the situation. Stability in Syria is not
expected to occur without the execution of
large financial subsidies to the country and
increased humanitarian service.

EuroDisney worker
found dead on ride
By Isabel Fernandez

The park made a statement after the man’s death, stating that they were “deeply saddened” by the sudden death and
that they gave their condolences

posals, and weddings, and each
park seems to radiate happiness,
as their slogan is “the happiest
place on Earth.” Disney has built
five parks throughout the globe,
including two in the US, one in
Tokyo, one in Hong Kong, and
another in Paris.
Although the location
is well-known as a joyful place,
there have been some very tragic
incidents in the parks, such as
what occurred on April 2, 2016. A
45 year old technician was found
dead in the famed haunted house
ride of EuroDisney, the Disney
Park located in Paris. The man
was a staff member of the park
and police have launched a full
investigation into the events that
may have led to his death. The
technician, whose name has not
been made known to the public,
was found between 8 and 9 am in
the Phantom Manor ride, just before the park opened.
An investigation has
been opened, and a full body,
post-mortem autopsy has been
ordered by police to aid in their
investigation. Police say that elements at the scene point to the
employee being electrocuted
while working on lighting in the
attraction. After the body was
discovered, the park immediately
closed down the ride, which will
remain closed until the investigation has been completed and a
complete survey of the ride has
rounding the man’s death became
clearer, or until the investigation
came to a close. EuroDisney remains open while the Phantom
Manor remains closed and people
visiting the park are not allowed
to go near the ride while investigators are still collecting evidence.
This incident is not the
first time someone has been injured in the Paris Park. In 2011
five people were seriously injured
while riding the Big Thunder
Mountain Railroad, and two years
later a five year old boy was taken
to intensive care after falling from
the Pirates of the Caribbean ride.
A very similar situation to the one
occurring now happened in 2010,
when a park employee, a cleaner,
died in the Small World ride after
getting trapped under a boat and
drowning.
The Phantom Manor
may be attracting more than a few
believers in ghosts now. While
before the ride many ghastly features, such as zombies, a skeletal bride, and a ghost dog were
presented, visitors may be more
interested in riding an attraction
which someone has actually died
on, such as has been presented in
other dangerous rides, such as the
Galaxyland rollercoaster in West
Edmonton Mall, which has attracted more people to it than ever
before since three people died on
the ride in 1986.

Shaveta Phull: dreams to reality
By Angela Zhao
and Eima Dafalla
While
the
calculus
teacher, Saymah Chaudhry, was
away on a leave, Shaveta Phull,
a new teacher here at Scarlett,
covered her calculus classes. The
FEVER was able to catch up with
Phull and ask her a few questions
about her time at Scarlett, her
passions, and her views on certain
issues. Through our conversation,
we learned many interesting facts
about Phull, like her passion
for math at a young age, and her
determination to inspire others
to love math as well. Phull’s last
day at Scarlett was on April 8, but
she has made a large impact on
her students. In her short period
of time at Scarlett, Phull was able
to motivate students through her
teachings, and fulfill her dreams
of becoming a teacher in Canada.
We proceeded asking her about
her teaching positions before her
arrival at Scarlett.
The FEVER wanted to
start off with knowing where Phull
has previously taught before she
came to Scarlett. Phull stated that
she taught 10-1 and 30-4 math at
Lester B. Pearson High School in
the Northeast. Phull’s experiences
in teaching also went as far as
India, where she is originally from.
In India she “taught at a college
further.
FEVER: Was teaching always
your career of choice?
Phull: Yes, definitely, as young
as junior high, I always had a
passion for teaching and learning,
and from then on, I knew I wanted
to become a teacher. When I first
came to Canada I was a financial
advisor. I was good at my job and
I made quite a bit of money but
it just wasn’t for me. Something
wasn’t right. I didn’t feel happy;
I knew that teaching was my
true passion. In order to switch
careers, I attended the University
of Calgary to get my education
degree to teach here in Canada. As
a child, my teachers always gave
me that extra push, so I believe
it is my duty to do the same. It is
a teacher’s job to encourage and
inspire the next generation; I love
the thought of that.
FEVER: What subject do you
teach and have you always taught
this subject?
Phull: I teach Math 31. I’ve always
enjoyed calculus when I was still
in school and teaching it in India.
I’m really glad I had the chance
to teach it here as well. I have a
Masters in mathematics so you can
really tell I enjoy math quite a lot.

independent person. While he was
growing up he was the one who was
running the house with three sisters
and four brothers. I learned to be
a hard worker because of him. He
always believed in me and knew I
could reach my dreams. He never
got to go to university because he
had to provide for the family and
because of this, he really wanted
me to go to university, and have a

he encouraged Phull to study first.

that math isn’t just memorization;
math is a game. You’re given rules

Part II: The Fall of Marco Rubio and New York Values
After the fallout from Super
Tuesday, both Democratic and Republicans
had many of the original candidates
remaining. The Republicans had Marco
Rubio, Ted Cruz, John Kasich and of course
Donald Trump, with Ben Carson dropping
out after conceding he will have not enough
delegates to be nominated as the presidential
candidate. The Democrats had Bernie
Sanders and Hillary Clinton remaining in
the race, with many expecting a repeat of the
dynamic that was seen in the Obama-Clinton
battle of 2008.
On March 3, Mitt Romney held a
highly publicized speech in the Hinckley
Institute of Politics, located in the University
of Utah, in which he criticised Donald
Trump, calling him worthless, a phony, and
a fraud. This is ironic considering the fact
that Romney had sought Donald Trump’s
endorsement back in 2012, but Romney told
reporters that if Trump had, not immediately

Romney’s comments were rebutted
by former Republican National Committee
chairman Michael Steele, who questioned
whether or not Romney’s speech was
impactful, claiming that Romney lost three

in, and implied that Romney should not be
criticizing someone who could bring back
these three million Republicans. Trump
also criticized Romney’s speech calling it
a “desperate move by the man who should

everyone criticized the speech, however.
Jonah Goldberg applauded Romney’s
remarks calling them lucid and analytically
correct in every way, even going so far
as to call Mitt Romney’s speech morally
compelling.

Breaking news in Steven Avery case: burnt bones found
on Avery’s property may not belong to Theresa Halbach
By Isabel Fernandez
Spoiler Alert: this article
has many details about the Netflix
series Making a Murderer. Making
a Murderer is a very popular series
which aired on Netflix in December of last year. The ten episode
saga tells the debatably true story
of Steven Avery and his many issues with the law in his hometown
Manitowoc, Wisconsin. From being falsely accused of a crime, filing a lawsuit worth millions, and
being accused of another crime,
Steven Avery has had a very difficult and controversial life. His story is told to the world in the Netflix
original series.
The debuting episode of
the series follows the first of Steven
Avery’s serious convictions: the
violent rape of Penny Ann Beernsten, a local woman, and loved one
of the Manitowoc county deputy
sheriff. Avery spent eighteen years
in a high security facility for this
crime. In the process he lost his
family, as his wife divorced him
and took their children. Although
the crime was committed in 1985,
it was not until many years later,
in 2003, after many attempts made
by Avery and The Wisconsin Innocence Project, (a charity dedicated
to helping innocent people escape
conviction) that the DNA found
at the scene was compared to a
sample taken from Avery. This test
found that Avery was not the one
who had committed the crime, and
that he had unjustly been in prison
for almost two decades. The series
also later revealed that there had
been another, much more likely
suspect that the police had not pursued because they had figured they
“had the right guy.” After being released, Avery began to put together
a $36 million dollar lawsuit against
the Manitowoc Country Sheriff’s
Department, conveniently just before he was arrested for another
heinous crime.
In 2005, amidst the lawsuit that Avery was pursuing, another woman went missing just
after having been seen on the Avery’s property. Theresa Halbach, a
young woman sent to the property
to take photos of a car for a magazine, was soon reported missing.
Eyewitnesses placed her at Steven
Avery’s trailer. The Avery family owned a salvage lot, which is
where police found human remains
scattered throughout a fire pit.
It seems as though the
show glosses over many facts that
would have been presented against
Avery, such as the fact that he had
many charges of being violent in
the past. Many of Avery’s family
members had found trouble during
their lives, especially Steven, who
before his 1985 arrest had stolen a
car and had been charged for animal cruelty. Netflix tried to make
took part. The prosecution lawyers
claimed that Dassey had insider
knowledge to the crime and that
he knew details that no one could
have known unless they had been
there. The tapes seemed to reveal
that the police had slyly given
Dassey the information during his
questioning, which would have
seemingly collapsed the prosecu-
tion to the case, and the potential
mistakes that the police force can
make. The attention brought to the
case also brought hope for Steven
Avery, who now has many people
signing petitions for his release.
It was recently reported
that there is new evidence in the
case of Theresa Halbach, regarding the bone fragments found on
Photo by Isabel Fernandez
Many innocent people have been wrongfully convicted of crimes similar to those of which Avery has been accused
viewers more sympathetic towards
Avery, so they left out details to the
case that would have gone against
that goal. Most members of the Avery family lived together, including
Brendan Dassey and his parents.
Brendan Dassey is Steven’s nephew, and supposed accomplice in
the crime. Dassey’s parents never
really liked Steven, and during
the trial for the murder of Theresa
Halbach, Dassey’s father testified
against Steven. Later in the series,
it is revealed that Brendan Dassey
had confessed to being Avery’s
companion in committing the murder of Theresa Halbach. The clips
that are shown on the show present a young 16-year-old Brendan
Dassey, who has a severe learning disability and the mentality of
someone half his age, being bullied
into claiming that Avery committed the crime, and that Dassey also
tor’s case. Yet many viewers saw
other aspects of the case, such as
Dassey constantly changing his
story. Even when the interviewers called him “inconsistent,” he
was confused as to what the word
meant, showing his childlike mind.
Throughout the series
Netflix manages to end every episode on a cliff hanger, yet the last
episode seemed to displease everyone. The last episode of the series
leaves an idea of no hope for either
Avery or Dassey, as they are both
sentenced to a very long stint in
prison.
Although the events happened
over a decade ago, Avery and Dassey are both still fighting for exoneration. The Netflix series showed
the very difficult fight that Steven
Avery and his family fought during
this very tough time. The ten-episode saga brought extreme atten-
Avery’s property. The charity Stop
Wrongful Convictions, is looking
into Avery’s case. Campaigner and
author Lynne Blanchard has taken
it upon herself to pursue the release
of Steven Avery. Blanchard believes people are taking for granted
the fact that the bone fragments
were found in a fire pit, and no
bone fragments would have been
able to survive the kind of heat a
fire would bring. She also points
out the obvious mistakes the police
made when they were originally at
the scene. “Obviously it appears to
be very incriminating, but what is
going on with this evidence? Why
weren’t protocols followed? No
coroner, forensic anthropologist,
arson investigator or photographer was called to the scene when
the evidence was discovered. The
investigators had all of these high
paid experts at their disposal and
did not call on them until after the
evidence had been shoveled up
and taken to the sheriff’s office,”
she writes in her statement about
her involvement in Avery’s case.
Blanchard also states that there
could be no way the DNA evidence
could be conclusive, as the scene
had not even been photographed,
leaving the chance for planting
evidence against Avery. During the
trial, the Manitowoc county sheriff’s department’s faults were revealed when the public discovered
that forensic experts were not summoned to the scene until well after
the bones, allegedly from Theresa
Halbach, had been removed, and
the Manitowoc county coroner was
not allowed to enter the scene of
the crime, as the police automatically called in the State police, as
Avery was such a high profile person at the time.
Between the time that
the events in the show occurred
and the time that the show aired,
Avery had hired a new lawyer,
Kathleen Zellner. Zellner received
a strange email from a fan of the
show, and a blogger from Reddit,
who had claimed to be poring over
Avery transcripts ever since she
had watched the show. The Reddit user, known as Amberlea1879,
claimed that her theory was that
the prosecutor, Ken Kratz, and FBI
bone analyst Culhane were aiming
to frame Avery during the entire
trial. Amerlea1879 said that the
FBI had never confirmed that the
tested bones had even belonged to
the victim, Theresa Halbach, and
that analyst Culhane was only sent
charred material to test during the
trial. Tests confirm that the bones
were a general mitochondrial DNA
match to someone related to Halbach’s mother, but investigators
were never absolutely sure they
belonged to Theresa Halbach.
The entire series implies
that almost all evidence found at
the scene had been tampered with
by Manitowoc police, as they had
not been kind to Avery since his
first release from prison. The new
evidence of tampering could be
just what Avery needs to claim his
second release from an unfair sentence. Avery’s lawyers are going to
keep looking for ways to get Avery
out of prison. For the time being
that is where he will stay, until they
have found conclusive evidence
that can prove Steven Avery to be
innocent of the crime of which he
has been accused.

Suicide attempts on the rise among transgender people

girl and not a boy. In her
suicide note she stated she
always had “felt like a girl
trapped in a boy’s body.”
Her death has garnered
international attention to

world. Suicides among transgender people open about it. These stats may be higher than
the previous years because more people are
coming out as transgender or gender nonconforming these days than five or ten years
ago, but still it is not an excuse to ignore this
issue.
In the same survey administered by
NTDS, age and ethnicity also played a key
role among the suicides. People who are between 18 and 24 have a greater chance of
committing suicide. Male to female transgender people (m to f) are 4% more likely
to commit suicide then female to male (f to
m). When examining ethnicity among this
group, the Aboriginal, Inuit, and mixed-race
people who are also gender non-confirming
are twice as likely to commit suicide out of
the group. Gender non-conformity is not the
only factor contributing to why they commit
suicide.
There are other external factors
contributing to that too. It may seem like
transgender and gender non—conforming
people are deemed more acceptable today
and is not as “taboo” anymore in society, but
in reality suicide rates among transgender
and gender non-conforming people are skyrocketing. The acceptance of trans people in
mainstream society is not helped when people ignore the victim’s preferred pronouns
after their death and ignore why they committed suicide in the first place. This action
makes it more acceptable for society to use
the wrong pronoun even though it makes the
situation worse and not any better.
The acceptance of trans people
would benefit by being the topic of conversation more often. With the high suicides
rates among transgendered people and gender non-conforming people the issue has
sparked a debate across the globe about
conversion therapy. Conversion therapy is a
type of therapy that manipulates a person’s
mind to become “straight” through harmful
ways like shock therapy. Scientific data has
proven conversion therapy does not help; it
just makes the situation worse and oppresses
the person’s identity and mind. Even though
trans representation in the media is getting
better, for example, the show Transparent
and celebrities like Laverne Cox and Caitlyn
Jenner in the spotlight, there is a long way
to go for mass acceptance of the transgender
and non-gender conforming community.
A couple of solutions for this epidemic would be teaching about gender identity to children at a young age like they do
in some parts of Europe and to bring National Transgender Awareness Day to public schools to make teens and kids aware of
transgender acceptance. The second solution
would be to encourage more parents to be
more supportive of their kid’s transition. A
study at Western University in London, Ontario suggests that the risk of suicides was
brought down by 11% when parents were
more supportive of their children’s transition.
People who are transgender and
gender non—conforming are people too.
They do not deserve to be looked at differently or frowned upon. They are people who
just want to live the lives they always wanted to and not be teased about it; people seem
to forget about that. It does not only take
the structural education approach be kind
to transgender and non-gender conforming
people and also to be more kind and welcoming of the situation. It involves societal
evolution to encourage full kindness of all
cultures and acceptance.
In the end, we can all make a
change by saying the right pronouns, being
an ally, and by being aware of what is happening in the transgender community.

the destruction of culture. It was the derivation of a God-complex that allowed Hitler to
justify his “purifying” genocide, and it is the
development of a God-complex that would
allow individuals to essentially choose a
baby from a catalogue, potentially erasing
valuable traits from the gene pool.
While some argue that it is humanity’s ethical duty to ensure that traits such as
kindness and compassion are instilled within
tomorrow’s children through genetic engineering, the degree to which genetics shapes
an individual personality remains unclear.
The nature versus nurture debate is ongoing. And, at this point, most scientists and
psychologists believe that it is a combination
of both environment and genetics that form
personality. Genetics may be the clay from
which people are sculpted, but it is the hands
of their surroundings that shape them into
who they are.
It is important to remember that
humans are inherently flawed and varied.
From an evolutionary perspective, people’s
differences are what allow them to adapt and
survive. From a creationist standpoint, everyone was created differently and uniquely.
No matter what one chooses to believe, it is
evident that people’s differences are a part
of what make them human. With the selection of traits, humanity may begin to fade, as
striving for the engineering of a perfect human being would likely result in a borderline
homogenous world, removing individuality
and diversity from the world. As individuals
gain insight into the basis of life at a molecular level, the understanding of what it truly
means to be human is forgotten.
Harnessing the ability to create an
ideal human being would ultimately be detrimental, as it would result in ideas of superiority and, therefore, severe discrimination.
Though the question of what humans are
composed of at a molecular level has been
asked for centuries, perhaps it is better left
unanswered.

Anti-LGBT laws in parts of the U.S. Netflix and free trade
By Quinlan Craig
In recent months
there have been numerous anti—LGBT laws being
passed in America. One of the
most controversial bills is the
“Religious Freedom Bill,” Bill
1523 in Mississippi. Bill 1523
promotes discrimination by
using the excuse that if a person is religious they can deny
someone their service if they

rationalization also applies if

By Matthew Tuckey
For years now Netflix
has made itself the largest global
provider for streaming movies
and TV shows. Starting out as
a DVD mailing service, Netflix
adapted to the Internet and now
has over 75 million subscribers
worldwide. Netflix started off
in the United States, but is now
available in nearly 200 countries.
The only countries where Netflix
is unavailable are China, Crimea,
Syria, and North Korea. Canada
was one of the first countries to
get Netflix in 2010, and since
then Netflix has become the preferred streaming site for most Canadians. There is one downside to
the globalization of Netflix: the
American version of Netflix has
more titles to choose from than
the other countries, making viewers from other countries jealous.
Often times these titles are more
popular. For example in November 2015, American Netflix had
over 10,000 titles, whereas its
Canadian counterpart had only
approximately 3,800. This disparity has led many Canadians
and non-Americans to attempt to
access American Netflix, leading
Netflix to announce that it will be
cracking down on people accessing American Netflix.
American Netflix can
be accessed from outside the
US through two different ways:
changing DNS codes or using a
VPN. DNS (Domain Name Server) codes are basically the phone
book for the Internet; they maintain a directory for domain names
and convert them to IP addresses.
Changing DNS codes tricks the
Internet into believing that the
account is from the US, enabling
access to American Netflix. A
VPN (Virtual Private Network)
changes the IP address to do the
exact same thing. Both of these
methods are completely legal, so
companies like Netflix cannot use
the law as a defense. In the past
months, Netflix has begun a massive crackdown on the Internet,
even using the help of an outside
company Vobile to help curb the
use of these methods. URLs to
streaming sites on Google have
been taken down and Netflix has
been improving its practices to
stop the VPN and DNS methods. Netflix believes this will
stop many people from accessing
American Netflix; however, they
are mistaken, as history shows
that this is a step in the wrong direction.
In 2011, the United
States government tried to introduce SOPA (the Stop Online
Piracy Act) in an attempt to end
online piracy. The government
went on a crusade, taking down
streaming sites such as Megaupload. In protest, several thousand
sites such as Google and Wikipedia went on a coordinated service
blackout, claiming free speech
was being infringed upon. Hackers also took down sites in favour
of SOPA. Eventually what resulted from this Internet protest was
that SOPA was never drafted and
the government has not tried to
do anything to stop piracy since.
Around this time, Netflix was
gaining a huge subscriber base
because it was easy to buy, had
plenty of titles, was legal, and was
very cheap compared to cable TV.
Now, piracy is being used against
Netflix, and for them to attempt
to crackdown on it seems like a
step backwards, when it was only
a couple years ago that this same
method was decisively shot down
by consumers.
This current situation is
having a negative impact on Netflix in the stock market as well.
In December 2015 Netflix stocks
sold for $130.94 at its highest; in
April 2016 they are being sold
for $91.00. It seems as though
the price has fallen because it is
missing out on a potentially huge
growth opportunity globally. Netflix’s main focus has primarily
been in the US, and the difference
in the number of titles clearly
shows this. International subscribers can make or break Netflix, as an increase would prove
very profitable, whereas if their
subscriber goals are not met, Netflix has a chance of stagnating and
only staying regional.
It has been shown time
and again that providing consumers with an easy, affordable
service is much better than trying
to stamp out those who try to pirate. Piracy is popular because it
is free, but most consumers residing in Canada would not use these
methods to watch their favourite
TV shows and films if they were
put on Netflix.
What made Netflix
strong in the past are its easy and
affordable services, and they need
to return to that. In the future they
need to work with content providers to stream titles globally,
instead of nationally. While this
may be difficult in the short-term,
it would grow Netflix into one of
the largest transnationals longterm.

In defense of Israel: a look at the country then and now
By Misha Mustaqeem
It seems the Canadian mainstream
is supportive of many religions and cultures.
Their embracement of Syrian refugees
is evidence that they are embracing the
Muslim religion into their culture - it is
opening borders in order to repent for the
mistakes the government has made (such as
the internment of the Japanese during WWII
or, the running of residential schools until
1996, or the treatment of the Doukhobor’s
in the 1950s in British Columbia), for which
they have also apologized. This tolerance,
however, does not always extend as much as
it could to Israel. The Canadian government,
under Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, has
stated it is willing to criticize Israel’s socalled “actions” that block the peace process.
“There are times when we disagree with
our friends and we will not hesitate from
pointing that out.” says Trudeau. While
indeed, the conditions in Palestine and the
Gaza Strip are less than admirable, the idea
that it is imposed by Israel cannot be further
from the truth, as the history of Israel is very
complex.
Many believe that Israel is
practicing imperialism on the Palestinian
region of the Middle East. Palestinian
extremist propaganda claims that the Jewish
people never had any claim to the Land of
Israel. If one looks, and limits their own
comprehension of history to the 20th century
to now, they would see that Jews are a
minority much like how they are represented
in Morocco, and that there is no real reason
for the Jews to be migrating to the place.

Heathy Vegan BBQ tofu alternative to everyday meats
By Meg Barrett
Tofu is a difficult vegan food to
cook with as many struggle to make it taste
appealing. Even purchasing pre-spiced and
flavoured tofu does not taste as good as it
possibly could. In this recipe, Lancers will
be able to learn how to cook amazing tofu
barbeque sticks which can be added to many
different meals such as rice, spaghetti, sandwiches, and more.
The tofu needed
for this recipe is either hard or medium tofu.
The difference between the two tofus is that
medium will be a bit softer and hard tofu is
denser. In the end it all depends on preference of texture. Chefs do not want to pur-
chase soft tofu for this recipe because it will
crumble in the process.
Ingredients:
-Hard or medium tofu
-Barbeque sauce of choice
-Spices of choice
-Two plates
-A heavy object
-Paper towels
-Medium sized plastic container
Directions:
1. Drain the liquid out of the tofu package
2. Wrap the tofu block in 2 paper towels
3. Put the wrapped tofu onto a plate
4. Place the second plate on top of the tofu
block, upside down
5. Place a heavy object on top to press the
tofu
6. Leave on the counter for 1-2 hours
7. Unwrap the flattened tofu from the paper towel and cut into strips about medium
width
8. Fill the plastic container 1/3 with barbeque sauce
9. Add spices of choice to taste
10. Place the strips into the container and
close it up
11. Lightly shake the container to mix the
sauce around with the tofu (If you shake too
vigorously the tofu will break)
12. Place the container into the freezer for
2-3 hours
13. Once fully frozen, place the container
into the fridge to defrost
14. Heat oven to 400°F
15. Place tofu onto a pan with parchment
paper
16. Using left over sauce, or the original
barbeque sauce, baste the top of the tofu
17. Leave in oven for 20 minutes
18. Flip and baste the other side
19. Leave in oven for 20 minutes again
20. Let tofu cool for 5-10 minutes
Good luck with this recipe Lancers, and enjoy this delicious vegan food.

The biggest hits and misses from Apple over the years
By Sydney Crosby
Apple, a popular technology company since April 1976, has
not always experienced all smiles
and good times. Over the years,
some products have been massive
failures. There have been massive
successes, however, so no need to
worry. Some of these products are
relatively old and most likely before Lancers’ time. Others are new
enough for all readers to recognize.
Misses:
In 1980 Apple created a
computer called Apple III. It was
a more advanced version of their
Apple II computer. The device
was plagued with early instability,
overheating problems, and often
crashed when users went to save
a document. It was removed from
stores by 1983.
In 1993 the Newton Message Pad came out. It was the
company’s first personal digital
assistant. The pad was designed to
recognise its owner’s handwriting,
and manage personal information.
Unfortunately the fact that it was
$700 made most people pass up
the purchase. As well, the handwriting recognition was inaccurate
for most users.
Also in 1993, Apple crated the Macintosh TV. The first allblack TV which attempted to mix
computing with television was
a big fail. Costing $2,099 it was
available only to Americans due
to its NTSC card. The TV only
sold 10, 000 units before it was
removed from stock five months
later.
In 1998 the USB Mouse
came to market. This mouse, that
was branded as a hockey puck, was
released with the iMac G3. It was

Also known as a vanilla or
custard slice, the millefeuille is a light, airy
pastry filled with cream or custard. The
exact origins of this dessert are unknown;
however, many suggest that it originated
in either Italy or France and dates back
to the 1600s. This particular recipe was
adapted from the famous Maison Ladurée
luxury bakery started in Paris in 1862. This
raspberry custard slice can also be found in
Ladurée’s recipe book: Ladurée Sucré by
Philippe Andrieu.
Ingredients:
500 grams all butter puff pastry
250 grams whole raspberries (substitute w/
½ strawberries)
but not burnt. Remove the top baking tray
and let cool overnight.
To caramelize the pastry, preheat
oven to 464 fahrenheit. Lightly and evenly
sprinkle the pastry with icing sugar and
place into the oven, watching carefully.
After a few minutes, the sugar will melt and
bubble. Let stand until fully cooled.
Filling
Scrape the seeds out of the vanilla
pod, put the vanilla pod in the milk, and
place on heat. Let butter soften, then
weigh half the butter and cut into small
pieces. With a handheld mixer, mix the
egg yolks with sugar until light and frothy,
then add the sifted flour. When the milk is
almost boiling, strain it, then pour ⅓ into

Directions:

room
Puff Pastry Base
Preheat oven to 320 fahrenheit.
Prepare two flat baking trays. Butter
one baking tray and arrange a sheet of
parchment paper over top. Evenly roll out
the pastry until it is 2 mm in thickness, then
cut the pastry into 10 x 10 squares. Transfer
to baking sheet and cover with another
sheet of parchment paper and the second
baking tray. This prevents the pastry from
rising too much and helps to maintain a
uniform shape. Once heated, put the pastry
into the oven for 30 to 40 mins. After, the
pastry should be golden and fully cooked,
the egg mixture, and mix with a wooden
spoon. Once mixed well, transfer the egg
mixture into the remaining milk and put
back on to moderate heat. Keep stirring
until the mixture boils, then mix and let
cook for four minutes, or until the cream
is dense and smooth. Take off heat and
add the remaining butter, mixing well until
perfectly uniform, then add the rest of the
butter.
Assembly
Wash and dry the raspberries
/ strawberries. Cut the pastry into 5 x 9
cm rectangles, and pour the cream into a
piping bag. For each portion, prepare three
layers of pastry. On the first piece, line the
centre with cream and place strawberries or
raspberries around it, then line the centre
with cream again. Repeat for the second
layer. Once the second layer is complete,
cover with the third pastry piece and dust
the top with icing sugar. Repeat for each
portion.
Makes around 4 portions.

Vivienne Westwood puts a high end twist on Vans shoe
By Shaela Sharma
Vivienne
Westwood’s
Anglomania clothing collection
and Vans Slip-On collection have
teamed up to create a one-of-akind shoe.
Dame Vivienne Westwood is a London based fashion
designer who is known for bringing anti-embellishment punk fashion into mainstream culture during
the 70s. She and Malcolm McLaren had opened their first shop on
430 Kings Road in London with
the name Let It Rock. The shop’s
name had undergone various name
changes before Westwood decided
on the name World’s End, in 1980,
which is still in use today. She is
also recognized for her dedication
to bringing awareness towards
global environment and human
rights issues. In 2014, Vivienne
Westwood designed simple, white
t-shirts and launched a photo campaign to bring awareness about the
global Save the Arctic movement. She was awarded the
OBE (Officer of the Order of
the British Empire) title from
Queen Elizabeth II in 1992.
Fourteen years later, in 2006,
Westwood was appointed
DBE (Dame Commander of
the Order of the British Empire).
In 1966, Jim and
Paul Van Doren opened a
shoe manufacturing shop
called The Van Doren Rubber Company. In and around
Southern California, the company quickly gained popularity among skateboarders and
skate culture during the 70s.
Vans “Off the Wall” label
made its debut ten years after
the original company was established. One of Vans’ iconic
brands, the classic Slip-On,
was released in 1977.
The
collaboration
Photo by Shaela Sharma
between these two collections Vivienne Westwood and Vans shoes will now have many connections to eachother
has resulted in a new, bold design
on a classic Vans Slip-On shoe.
The shoes are blanketed with vertical white, black, and grey watercolour stripes which reflect Westwood’s modern punk aesthetic.
On the right shoe, a black, graffitiinspired Vivienne Westwood orb
logo is layered on top of a bold image of a hand holding a medievaltype sword. The sides of the soles
are white rubber with a black stripe
along the top. The bottom sole of
the shoe keeps the traditional look
of the Vans Slip-On. Gold brand
labels are stitched along the side
of the shoe and at the corner of the
tongue.
These shoes are set to be
released during late April. Unfortunately, this unique collaboration
is only available in select shops
within Japan. However, this product might also be available for
purchase on Vivienne Westwood’s
online store or at other online retailers such as eBay or Amazon.

There are few things
more refreshing than knowing that
summer is on the way. The birds
singing in the morning and the
sun’s heat are indicators of summer returning to us. Along with the
freedom of finishing school, summer also provides new liberties
in fashion. To ensure an enviable
summer wardrobe, the shopping
needs to start now. The summer’s
top forecasted trends are always
a good place to start revamping
one’s closet.
Off-the-shoulder
tops
have been a staple in summer
dressing for the past two summers
and are readily available in retail
chains such as Zara and Free People. The secret behind this trend’s
popularity is in its simplicity. Instead of wearing a simple crewneck tee, an off-the-shoulder top
can take an outfit to the next level
without being showy. Fashion
bloggers such as Leandra Medine
(manrepeller.com) and Julie Sarinana (sincerelyjules.com) have
--
flawlessly executed this trend on
many occasions. Off-the-shoulder
tops were also featured numerous
times on the Spring/Summer 16
runways, in shows such as Balenciaga, Miu Miu and Louis Vuitton.
Off-the-shoulder styles
can be incorporated into numerous
esthetics. A Bohemian vibe can be
found in smocked tops with flowy
sleeves or in an all-around flowing
style while a casual and modern
look could feature a fitted stretchfabric piece. In either ensemble the
exposing of the shoulders adds a
polished and fun aspect to the outfit. There really are an infinite number of ways to bring this trend into
one’s wardrobe so the key to making sure one gets a piece they really
love is by exploring the options. A
basic cotton tee with an off-theshoulder neckline could become
a staple while a more extravagant
piece featuring embroidery or lace
would be excellent to have for special occasions. As with anything, it
is advised to start simple. A much
loved and fault-proof way to debut
this trend is with the ruffle off-theshoulder top. This style is usually
flowy and the “sleeves” are a ruffle
that covers the top half of the shirt.
It is easy to wear these types of tops
with denim which makes them a
good transitional piece from jeans
to shorts.
A piece that will make an
off-the-shoulder top seem all the
more summery are frayed-edge
jeans. It has always been a trend to
rock cut-off shorts in the summer
but recently full-length pants with
unfinished hems have been taking
over the fashion scene. From stores
like Hollister to fashion houses like
Chloe the fashion world cannot get
enough of this trend. Mixing a fitted denim style with frayed-edges
offers a more beachy vibe to an initially structured piece.
One can pull off this trend
easily when one finds a pair with
the right fit. Skinny jeans are the
most popular version of this trend,
so to find a good pair shoppers

wearing the culotte version of
this trend, keep in mind that the
top should be kept simple in the
outfit. The pants will already
be a showstopper so wearing a

The Panama Papers: the dark world of secrecy revealed
By Callum Serieska
With the recent leak of the
Panama Papers, which contain files
that tie corruption to very powerful
figures around the world, people
are beginning to see the amount of
corruption that can reside in anybody with enough money to want
to avoid being taxed. At the same
time, however, there is much more
to the Panama Papers than what is
seen at a glance, from things like
tax evasion, funding of less-thantrustworthy organizations, and
even documents tying in intelligence agencies such as the CIA.
The world has seen scandals like
these papers here and there, but
with a leak this size, it is actually
disturbing to see how many companies, or agencies that are considered trustworthy, actually turn out
to be corrupt, or shrouded in that
shady cloak of secrecy.It is not
just companies that have money,
and assets stored away from the
world’s eye; in fact, even people
within politics such as Vladimir
Putin have money stored away in
the documents that leaked from the
Panama Papers.
The papers were leaked
by a man who contacted a journalist with a proposition: information
for justice. The informant was outraged with the way that the company was run, so he then proceeded
to leak 2.6 Terabytes of data, which
contained roughly 4.8 million emails, 3 million database formats,
2.1 million PDFs, 1.1 million images, 300,000 text documents, and
about 2000 other documents. All
of these documents span periods
from 1977 to spring of 2016. Many
wonder how this much information
could be hidden for that amount of
time. The answer lies in what are
called shell companies, located
within tax havens (areas that can
avoid large amounts, if not all,
taxation). Another question that
is raised is exactly how many shell
companies were used during this
massive operation. It is estimated
that roughly 214,000 companies
that were used in ways that allowed bigger companies, and rich
people, to save up massive sums of
money.
The source of most of
the companies, corruption, and
wrong-doing is a company called
Mossack Fonseca, which specializes in setting up shell companies
and fake bank accounts for those
that wish to involve themselves in
the tax havens. Mossack Fonseca
sets up a meeting, and discusses
terms of what the client would
extra profit out of the public eye,
and keep it completely safe inside
a bank where it could not EVER be
taxed.
This complex process
is how all the companies,
and rich people, held their
money. The intelligence
agencies would often used
Mossack Fonseca to hide
information and assets,
such as arms deals for
funding, or negotiations
for hostages with hostile
nations. An example of
this situation can be seen

Ever wanted to travel to Mars? If
so, the next best thing on earth may be the
Atacama Desert, found on the Western coast
of Chile. Possibly the oldest desert on earth,
the Atacama is often said to look otherworldly, and has in the past even been used
by NASA to test instruments for future missions to Mars. Parts of the desert have not
experienced rainfall since record keeping
began, making it the driest, and most lifeless
desert on earth.
At times, the Atacama may seem
as though it is a lonely desert, devoid of humans, animals, or any vegetation. This contributes to the feeling that it is a place that
belongs only to Mother Nature, and that humans are but visitors briefly passing by in
both time and location. However, in reality,
the Atacama does host a rich variety of flora
in its more humid locations. Most common
to the arid environment are the herbs and
flowers thyme, llareta, and saltgrass. The
appearance of these small plants in a seemingly dead region has an inspiring ability to
give individuals a sense of hope, along with

towns in the desert is San Pedro de Atacama,
founded in the 1400s. Within the town, tourists are drawn to the Church of San Pedro, a
national monument built during the Spanish
colonial period. However the true appeal of
the town lies in the surrounding attractions.
The outlying attractions include a
geyser field with over 80 active geysers; a giant salt flat whose great white expanse looks
unbelievably similar to snow; Licancabur,
a volcano near San Pedro; Chaxas Lagoon,
which is inhabited by wild pink flamingos,
adding a dash of colour to a monotone landscape; and Valle de la Luna, translating to
“Valley of the Moon,” named for its strong
resemblance to the moon’s surface.
Another breathtaking sight of the
Atacama is the Mano des Desierto (Spanish for “Hand of the Desert”), a 36 feet tall
sculpture of a hand emerging from the desolate landscape. The sculpture, built in the
early 1980s, looks as though the earth itself
is reaching to the skies in a desperate search
for a passing rain cloud, a plea for water. The
hand appears to be located precisely in the
middle of nowhere, far away from any city,
adding to the feeling of helplessness and
desperation

False lashes are a beautiful addition to any makeup and can pull a look together. Despite their beauty, applying false
lashes is a tricky job that can lead to frustration without the correct knowledge. Here is
an explanation of how to apply these beauties with tips, tricks, and product recommendations ranging from high end, to drug
store, to aid with one’s makeup goals.

the eye as is comfortable. Once this has
been accomplished, look to the inner corner of the eye, and see how much has to be
trimmed to make it comfortable and look
good. Remember, more can be removed if
need be, but not added. It may be necessary to lay the lashes back on the eye and
trim more off, which is fine. There is no
guideline to the exact amount to cut; it all
depends on the eye shape, style of lashes
being used, and the desired look.
Once trimmed to liking, put the
lashes carefully to the side and apply mascara as normal. Mascara
is applied before lashes,
because if it is applied
over the falsies, they do
not last as long because
they destroy the shape
and the strength of the
lashes.
Next, grab one of the
lashes and the glue, and
apply the glue to the
band. Apply more to
the corners because that
is where lifting will occur. Once the glue is on,
wait thirty seconds to one
minute. If they are put on
right after applying the
glue, it is still too wet and
will not stick properly
and possibly slide off; let
the glue get tacky.

a favourite part of the trip.
With an incredible five days in
Rome behind them, it was time for the group
to move on. En route to Florence they made
a stop in the religious center of Italy, Assisi.
Assisi is known as the religious centre because of St. Francis, who fought to make the
class system fair. He is commonly known
as the greenpeace saint because he believed
that God intended for man to take care of
nature. One of his best known actions is asking the church to become a resting place for
people in poverty. Other than learning about

driver for the entire trip, the group made their
way up a giant hill to the Abbey of Montecassino. Although the group had already
toured many churches, this one presented itself differently. The rest of the churches and
basilicas had all been central, the Abbey of
Montecassino stood alone, overlooking the
cities and hills that lay beneath. Other than
an astounding view, the abbey also has a rich
history. Numerous events had lead to its destruction. In 557 AD and 887 AD the abbey
was destroyed by religious groups who were
against Catholicism. In 1349 a brutal earthquake occurred and finally, during WWII it
was partially destroyed except for one hall.
This hall had served as a place
for 300 monks, women and
children to survive the bombing that destroyed the rest of
the abbey. The original sector
was entrancing, but entering
the church was on a completely different level. The ceilings were painted in gold and
a fierce blue, and although the
artwork could not be completely finished because the artist
had died suddenly, it still held
an astounding beauty. Golden
statues of cherubs sat on posts
around the altar indicating a
truly heavenly sight. Underneath the church are the basilicas of founder St. Benedict and
his sister Scholastica. Images

J.K. Rowling’s new book, play, and her new exciting news
By Devyn Mitchell
Nine years after the seventh novel,
and five years after the film that brought
the ever-so-popular Harry Potter series to
an end, J.K. Rowling and the fantasy world
she created are still as popular as ever, with
announcements of new novels, plays, films,
and more, being shared with fans almost
daily. Recently, Rowling announced to fans
that there will be an eighth book added to
the Harry Potter series, called The Cursed
Child. This book is the script of the play,
The Cursed Child, which debuts on July 30,
2016. Jack Thorne and John Tiffany, writer
and director of the play, with some help from
Rowling, decided to release the script when
fans argued that they would not be able to be
in London to see it.
The book is set to take place right
where the seventh novel left off, nineteen
years after the final battle of Hogwarts. According to Rowling, the story surrounds the
life of Harry’s youngest son, Albus, and
the weight he feels to uphold their family
legacy. It will be released on July 31, 2016,
one day after the
play’s
opening
night, which, not
by coincidence, is
also Harry Potter’s
birthday. Fans who
are hoping to read
the book as soon
as it is released
should make sure
to preorder a copy,
in order to guarantee that they can
get their hands on
it before it sells out
in stores.
In addition to the play
and the accompanying book which
are being released
this summer, another of Rowling’s
books, Fantastic
Beasts and Where
to Find Them, is A dedicated fan poses in Potter-themed costume
in the process of being
turned into a film. This
book is a creative take
on what would have been
one of Harry’s school
textbooks, featuring notes
and doodles drawn by
Harry, Ron, and Hermione. Creators of the film
say that it will follow the
life of the made-up author, Newt Scamander,
as he tries to write the
book, approximately seventy years before Harry
reads it. The film will be
released on November 11,
2016, so Lancers should
definitely make plans to
see it when it is released.
With the arrival
of spring, another exciting addition to the Harry
Potter franchise has just
opened up in Universal
Studios Hollywood. Af-
ter the extreme popularity of the Wizarding World in Universal Studios, Orlando,
creators decided it was time to expand into
another popular tourist destination. This new
Harry Potter theme park opened its doors in
Los Angeles on April 7, 2016, after nearly
two and a half years of construction. This
new addition to the theme park cost nearly
$500 million to build, but the park is confident it will be worth the cost. When the
Harry Potter section of Universal Studios
Orlando opened in 2010, the park’s attendance increased an estimated 30%. If Lancers are looking for the perfect destination for
a family vacation this summer, the Wizarding World in Universal Studios Hollywood
would be a great option for family members
of all ages, with a number of rides, shops,
and Harry Potter-themed attractions to keep
the family entertained all day long.
Fans should keep their eyes and
ears out for all of these new Harry Potter
books, films, parks, and other future additions to the popular franchise. It is not likely
that the worldwide popularity of this series
will die off anytime soon.
Dr. E.P. Scarlett’s ELL (English Language Learners) and
International students show insight on new life in Canada
By Angela Zhao
Canada is one of the most immigrantfriendly countries in the world. The low
crime rates, high standard of living, diversity
of culture, and some of the best universities
worldwide draw immigrants to the country.
These reasons make Canada a great place for
not only immigrants, but also international
students from abroad to study. Currently,
Canada holds 5% of the international student
population, making it a strong competitor:
seventh worldwide, only trailing behind
France, China, Australia, Germany, the US,
and the UK, some of the most influential
countries in the world. International students
have increasingly played a larger role in
the Canadian economy, which is the result
of federal changes in recent years, aimed at
recruiting younger people into the work field
to counter an aging population. While many
of Canada’s international students tend to
find residence in Toronto and Vancouver
specifically, in recent years, secondary
cities, such as Calgary are slowly gaining a
larger piece of the pie.
Dr. E.P. Scarlett has students
from many diverse cultural backgrounds.
Scarlett has established an environment
in which students of different cultures
can speak multiple languages at school.
Scarlett also hosts a great ELL (English
Language Learner) program. Scarlett’s
ELL program allows immigrants as well as
international students to learn English with
helpful resources such as their ELL teachers
and fellow classmates. The program also

La crise migratrice, guerre en Syrie, et les effets en Europe
Par Matthew Tuckey
La crise migratoire en Europe est
l’une des plus importantes migrations de
tous les temps. La crise a commencé en
2015, quand le nombre d’immigrants qui ont
appliqué comme réfugiés politique a fait un
pic. Selon Eurostat, 1 321 560 immigrants
ont appliqué comme réfugiés politique en
2015. La crise ne montre aucun signe de
ralentissement, et le nombre d’immigrants
augmentent chaque jour. Il est incertain si
l’économie de l’Union européenne peut
supporter cette énorme vague d’immigrants.
Beaucoup de gens se posent la question à savoir si ces derniers peuvent s’intégrer dans
la société européenne, qui est très différente
comparativement à leur pays d’origine. Parmi les problèmes économiques et sociaux,
les gouvernements européens demeurent très
prudents à la probabilité que quelques immigrants puissent être des terroristes d’ISIS.
Beaucoup d’entre eux sont des réfugiés de la guerre en Syrie, cependant il y
a un grand nombre parmi eux qui profite de
la situation, et se joignent aux autres immigrants pour échapper la pauvreté. En 2015,
plus de 350 000 immigrants venaient de la
Syrie, plus de 175 000 venaient de l’Afghanistan et environ 125 000 venaient d’Iraq. Le
Kosovo, l’Albanie, le Pakistan, l’Érythrée,
le Nigéria, l’Iran et l’Ukraine sont d’autres
pays.
La guerre civile en Syrie a commencé en 2011. Le « Printemps Arabe » suscité en Tunisie, s’est propagé dans les pays
d’Égypte, la Libye, la Syrie, le Bahreïn, et
le Yémen. Ces pays étaient tous gouvernés
par des dictateurs et ces régimes depuis des
décennies. Le renversement de ces régimes a
créé le chaos au Moyen-Orient, et seulement
la Tunisie a réussi à gagner une démocratie
en préservant la paix. L’Égypte est retournée
à un gouvernement autoritaire et le Yémen
est dans un guerre civile. La Libye est divisée ; au Sud il y a des terroristes et au Nord il
y a le trafic d’immigrants destiné à l’Europe.
La Syrie est dans un guerre civile sanglante et la pire du vingt-deuxième
siècle. Le pays est divisé en plusieurs clans :
La gouvernement de Bashar Al-Asaad, les
rebelles de Syrie, les Kurdes, l‘État Islamique, le Hezbollah, et Al-Nusra (Al-Qaeda). Il y a aussi plusieurs autres pays étrangers qui supportent chacun de ces clans. La
Russie et l’Iran supportent le gouvernement,
et les États-Unis, L’Arabie Saoudite et la

Alguien robo arte en Madrid, España y costo $30 milliones
Por Isabel Fernandez
El artista famoso Francis Bacon nació en Irlanda en 1909, y murió en
1992. Sus pinturas han sido muy conocidos
en todo el mundo, esto parece atraer a los
ladrones de arte de obras maestras. Sus piezas, generalmente abstractos y aislados, por
lo general se establecen en fondos lisos y
planos, y los sujetos suelen aparecer tristeza. Esta tristes podría haber representado la
tristeza de Bacon dentro de su propia vida,
por ser un hombre homosexual en un momento en que realmente no era aceptable.
Sus pinturas más populares llegaron directamente después de la guerra mundial 2, en
1944. La obra El tres piezas cuenta una historia, y fue titulado Tres estudios de figuras

conocido en todo el mundo como un entendedor sombrío y narrador de la vida humana.
La mayoría de sus pinturas son series, como
había afirmado que vio la vida en serie, que
es lo que le inspiró para pintar de esa manera.
Bacon ha sido comparado con otros grandes
artistas como Picasso por su talento natural
y sus profundos entendimientos y emocio-
nes que él fue capaz de transmitir en la lona.
El estilo de arte de Bacon cambió dramáticamente a través de las décadas. En la década
de los 40 fueron los hombres en habitaciones aisladas. En la década de los 50 fue animales y figuras solitarias. En la década de
los 60 fueron retratos de amigos y compañeros de bebida. En 1971, su amante George
Dyer se suicidó, que resultó pinturas de
Bacon en trozos monótonas deprimente.
Después de esto, sus obras maestras período posterior, su arte fue considerado, tales
como el estudio de un autorretrato, 1982.

vida. La gente se reunió a su arte, ya que
era muy hermosa, sin embargo, la gente
odiaba el jugador con un problema con la
bebida que también pasó a ser gay. En los
tiempos modernos su arte ha estado reclamando más dinero de lo que nunca tuvieron cuando vivía tocino. En 2013, un trozo
de su arte rompió el récord de la obra de
arte más cara vendida en una subasta por
$ 142,405,000 USD. Este registro sólo se
rompió en 2015, nada menos que por alguien que el tocino se comparó con Picasso.
En una residencia privada en Madrid, Ba-
con cinco obras de Francis Bacon fueron
robados en el medio de la noche. Los cinco
cuadros tienen un valor combinado de más
de 30 millones de dólares, y el propietario
reclama haber sido acosado antes del robo.
Las pinturas eran propiedad de un amigo
personal del artista que las heredó después
de su trágica muerte. El robo se produjo en
junio de 2015, pero sólo fue puesto en lib-
con el fin de tratar de encontrar las pinturas.
Todas las investigaciones apuntan a las pinturas aún se está en suelo español, ya que

The 1975’s newest album shines in neon-tinted success
By Helena Gagnier
The 1975’s newest album,
I like it when you sleep, for you are
so beautiful yet so unaware of it,
has a title that accurately reflects
the quality of its content. Rambling
and clumsy, yet compelling and at
times poignant, the sound of the
alternative quartet has unquestionably evolved and matured since the
I like it when you sleep...
begins with a reworking of the
self-titled track “The 1975” which
originally appeared on an album
of the same name. This direct contrast gives listeners insight into the
band’s growth over the past three
years. When compared to the original track, it becomes obvious that a
darker, more sincere tone overtakes
lack of spirituality, and wonderings if a belief in a higher power
could stop his pain. To compliment
the spiritual nature of the song, a
gospel-esque choir is used to back
Healy’s pleadings.
Another gem of I like it
when you sleep… is “The Sound.”
In the upbeat pop-synth tune, the
bands personality and attitude shine
through.
Despite
its relative
repetitiveness, “The
Sound”
exudes
confidence and
flashiness,
and it is
nearly impossible
to not be
singing
along by
the end.
lyrical anguish and in the remorse
echoing throughout Healy’s performance.
The final song of I like it
when you sleep… is heartbreaking,
written about Healy’s mother’s
experience with postpartum depression. Healy’s earnest voice
is accompanied only by the soft
serenading of an acoustic guitar.
“When I go to sleep / It’s like she
begins to weep / She’s appalled by
not loving me at all,” Healy sings,
the sincerity and sadness in his
voice obvious.
Though the albums’ ending is a sad one, it is strong and impactful, and leaves listeners with
a sense of vulnerability and rawness that is difficult to shake. I like
it when you sleep… lacks neither
depth nor diversity, and as such
will take a very long time to get
old. This is a huge development for
the band, whose previous album is
often accused of being repetitive
and one-dimensional.
While there are certainly
gems within I like it when you
sleep… there are also tracks that
the album could probably have
done without. There comes a point
in every album where ambient interludes become redundant and
boring. Unfortunately, The 1975
are light-years beyond this point
of interlude acceptability. “Please
Be Naked” and “Lostmyhead” are
examples of such redundancies.
Perhaps if the two were split up,
or were a minute or two shorter,
they would become more interesting; however, as it happens, the
two tracks are back to back, and
are in total nearly ten minutes
long. Another interlude is the title
track, which is hypnotic at best and
glitchy at worst. In this sense, the
album lives up to its longwinded
name. Seventeen tracks and seventy-four minutes long may feel
excessive to the average listener.
That being said, part of
The 1975’s appeal is their refusal
to become a manufactured boy
band that produces music solely
for fame, instead opting to express
what they feel. It would just be
nice if their feelings were not so
excessively long.
Overall, I like it when you
sleep… is majorly successful in
the sense that it has allowed The
1975 to grow and thrive without
the boundaries of a strictly defined
genre. The band was bold and not
afraid to experiment, and it ultimately paid off. Containing a rainbow of emotions and topics, nearly
everyone will be able to find a song
that resonates with them, and as
such it is definitely an album worth
listening to.
For an individual to open
up about their darkest experiences
takes bravery, and to that extent, no
one can say that Healy is not brave.
For that, he should be thanked.
Without honesty, music—much
like life—fails to have meaning.
And so, to partially quote the album whose longwinded, poignant
name so adequately describes its
music: “I like it.”

The supporting performances are
also exceptional. As Ledger’s wife who

yet promising performance of what is in Hathaway’s future acting career.
The film was shot in Alberta, in
Kananaskis Country, with some indoor
scenes even being shot in Calgary. Besides
possible tax cuts for filming in Canada, it is
easy to see why this was chosen as the location. The setting is beautiful and Ang Lee’s
directing, with the help of cinematography
of Rodrigo Prieto, and the Albertan countrysides have never looked more beautiful.
Gustavo Santaollala’s score is instantly recognizable, even ten years later.
At the time of release the film it
was heralded as a triumph in storytelling, as
there were not many if not any mainstream
stories about gay people. Some may argue
that if the film were to be released in today’s
market, it would not have the same wild success critically and financially due to this subject matter becoming more commonplace.
It is fair to assume, that in the 10
years that have passed since the release of
Brokeback Mountain, that a move like this
would not be as ground-breaking as it once
was. However, the legacy that the film has
left behind is unquestionable, even if one
does not know the story, they definitely
know the name.
Iron Maiden’s new and improved “Ed Force One” plane
By Will Ross-Dushinski
In 2008 and 2009 for the “Somewhere Back in Time World Tour” Iron
Maiden commissioned a Boeing 757-28A
from Astraeus Airlines. The aircraft was
converted into a combi-configuration (a half
cargo half, half cabin arrangement) enabling
it to carry the band members, their crew, and
the stage production, allowing them to perform in countries that they previously could
not. The aircraft was also painted in a special
Iron Maiden livery.
The aircraft retained the name “Ed
Force One” after a competition on the bands
website. The aircraft is flown by Bruce Dickinson, who was a pilot for Astraeus Airlines.
On a later tour the band adopted a different
757 registered G-STRX which was used for

This year marks Scarlett’s thirty

the best in recent memory.
The Friday night included
an all-night silent auction, dinner,

The Grade 10 band commenced the night with four classical scores. The band performed the
critically-acclaimed James Bond
Suite which includes songs such as
the “James Bond Theme,” “Live
and Let Die,” “For Your Eyes
Only,” and “Goldfinger.” Afterwards, the Symphonic Band,
which is comprised of grade elevens and twelves played “Robin
Hood” and grand selections from
Star Wars. The Wind Ensemble,
a group of selective percussionists, played next and they rendered
“Raider’s March,” the recognized
Indiana Jones theme. Choir followed up afterward with beautiful

music program’s expertise.
The Jazz bands played
all evening with a manifold of
performances, some accompanied by solos from the choir. Jazz

each one of them played wonderfully. Tables were cleared off for
the dance floor, which was quickly
filled by students and parents alike.
The band played a collection of
slow and fast tunes, satisfying both

dancefloor. Even teachers, such as
Bell and Brown, were seen breaking out some dance moves.

Emotional ending for band and choir students in Whistler
By Matthew Tuckey
The Con Brio festival
takes place annually in both Whistler and Sun Peaks. The festival
has grown in popularity since the
first one in 2000. The 2016 festival was a record breaker, with
around 2700 students from Western Canada, and one school from
the U.S. There were three schools
from Calgary including E.P. Scarlett, Bishop Carroll, and Arbour
Lake. There was also a school from
Washington State.
The students left Calgary
Wednesday April 20. A long tenand-a-half-hour bus ride to Chilliwack was interrupted by stops in
Golden for snacks, and for lunch
in Salmon Arm. The students’ time
was spent doing homework, playing cards, listening to music, and
talking to friends. That night, they
spent the night at the Hampton Inn,
where they had pizza in the conference room.
The next day was spent
in Vancouver, followed by a drive
north to Whistler. An early wakeup was called that morning, as it
was important to get to Vancouver on schedule. The plans, however, did not take into account the
large amount of traffic around Abbotsford and Langley. The buses
reached Granville Island around
11:00 am. Groups were formed and
the students enjoyed a lunch involving pizza, Korean and Chinese
food, and ice cream. The groups
explored the Granville Public
Market before heading to the Vancouver Aquarium and spending an
hour and a half watching penguins,
sea otters, beluga whales, and
fish. Fifteen minutes were spent at
Stanley Park for sightseeing and a
group picture.
At 5:30 that evening, the
band and choir got to the Westin
hotel in Whistler. Many other students from other bands were staying there, including Grey Point
School from Vancouver. The festival kicked off with a lip-sync contest, in which the schools entered
some students to present a lip-sync
of a song. Karim Rahman, Tyler
Kiyanoga, Shannon Fitzgerald,
Emily Ewacha, Lexis Ly, and Jane
Geller, all Grade 12, performed “I
Will Survive” by Gloria Gaynor.
They, however, did not win the
competition. That night they had
dinner at the Whistler Golf Club
before heading to bed.
Friday, April 22 was the
most hectic day for those who
played in multiple bands. It was
performance day for all the bands
and the wakeup call was at 5:30
am, due to a choir performance at
the Maury Young Arts Centre at
7:45 am. They performed “Contre qui Rose”, “Mui Hendra”, and
“Didn’t my Lord deliver Daniel.”
Symphonic Band played
at 11:30 am at the Whistler Conference Centre. They performed
“First Suite in E Flat” by Gustav
Holst, and “Godzilla eats Las Vegas” by Eric Whitacre. Both songs
were played earlier in the year;
however, this time Symphonic
played all three movements of
“First E Flat Suite”, instead of only
one. After the performance they

Spring sprung in Scarlett’s theatres with One Act Plays
By Alexis Bradley
Scarlett’s spring One Act
Plays were an exciting collection
of five plays: one mainstage and
four one acts, as well as a minimovie, all student directed, produced and starred. Each play had
a lunchtime performance, except
the mainstage. The evening performance was on April 27 and 28 and
tickets were ten dollars. The plays
ran from 6:30 pm-9:45 pm.
The first play was called A
Play on Words, and followed a man
whose secretary misheard his wife
on the phone, and thought she was
in the hospital. Rod, played by Sam
Thomas, Grade 12, had been fighting with his wife, Nancy, played
by Alina Graber, Grade 11, over
whether or not they were going to
have children. His friend Mathew,
played by Chris Salt, Grade 10, an
excessive pun man and Rod’s close
friend, decided to pay him a visit,
and headed out to the museum.
Rod’s Secretary, Susan, played by
Briana Veillous, Grade 12, was
very against this, and advised him
to go home to his wife. The play
was directed by Robert Lindgren,
Grade 12, and Denis Shevchenko,
Grade 12. The stage manager was
Kaitlyn Willerth, Grade 12.
The second play was
Dogs Aren’t Welcome in Heaven.
It began in a world twenty years

that killed her younger brother, Lucas, played by Zach Friesan, Grade

It was then followed by Alex,

who was Charlie’s boyfriend coming to support her with the loss of
her brother. The play also showed
Charlie’s mom, played by Taylor
Corasiniti, Grade 11, and her relationship with her fiancé, played
by Ben Whitham, Grade 12. The
play was directed by Hayley Balla,
Grade 12, stage managed by Durga
Bala, Grade 11, and was written
by the lead actress. The lunchtime
show was on Thursday, April 28.
Also recognized was the
tech crew that ran the lights and
sounds, Kyle Clark, Grade 10,
Brayden Fleming, Grade 11, and
Lochlan Cuthbertson, Grade 11.
They ran all of the tech for all of
the plays.
This year’s one act plays
were unsurprisingly another huge
success. All five plays portrayed
the immense amount of talent,
dedication, and hard work Scarlett
students possess. The FEVER congratulates the drama students on
their excellent performance.

Scarlett improv team members cut loose at the annual

By Rachel Esser
When things do not quite
go as planned, or life gets a little
mixed-up and crazy, the only thing
to do is improvise; this is exactly
what Dr. E.P Scarlett’s two improv
teams train to do in the weeks before the great Loose Moose High
School Theatre Sports competition.
Many students know the
Scarlett Improvisers from Lunchtime theatre, where many students
come into the theatre and eat their
lunch while enjoying twenty minutes of weird, wacky, and (hopefully) funny improv. However, on
March 9-11, the improv club took
on a much tougher audience away
from their home turf, competing
as two teams in the Calgary High
School Theatre Sports tournament
at Loose Moose against eight other
teams from all over the city. Unlike the laid-back, game-oriented
scenes they are known for performing, games like audience favourites “Ballet,” “Space Jump,”
or “Hoedown,” the tournament

said of the tournament: “This was

Club and the alternate for Plastic

And many improv fans
look forward to this return to

Scarlett’s Junior and Senior Boys Rugby teams prepare
for exciting seasons as the weather begins to warm up
By Devyn Mitchell
“I think rugby is cool because it is
a lot more of a team sport. You’ve definitely
got a number of positions, but everybody’s
playing offense and everybody’s playing defense. So, yeah, the team aspect of it is a really cool experience,” Julian Schach tells the
FEVER, when asked why he was interested
in joining Dr. E.P. Scarlett’s rugby team.
With the arrival of spring, Lancers
are getting outside and active with a number of sports teams that are just starting their
seasons off. One of these sports is rugby, an
increasingly popular, full-contact game, in
which a team of thirteen attempts to carry
the ball across the opposing team’s goalline, without passing it forward.
The Junior Boys team is coached
by Kirk Housley and Matthew Thompson,
and consists of 26 players: Alex Buzdugan,
Clayton Babuk, Alec Fekete, Aidan Hunter,
Scott Ingram, Seth Krukowski, Leighton
Kemna, Zach Ly, Scott Mclachlan, Padraic
Quinn, Jose Romero, Julian Schach, Joe
Wagner, and Michael Read, all Grade 11,
as well as Zachary Alexa, Mason Bearspaw,
Nathaniel Carrington, Brent Chamberlain,
Cade Dicay, Kyle Froom, Chris Hancock,
Nicholas Jesudason, Dakota Johnson, Nathan Muir, Jake Minnemay, and Cullan
Walker, all Grade 10.
The Senior Boys Rugby team is
also coached by Housley and Thompson, and
is made up of 26 players as well: Zach Bainbridge, Anar Batjargal, Jacob Betts, Matthew Cook, Mac Dyer, Garrett Empey, Ian
Fleming, Josh French, Keith Foster, Daniel
Jovanovic, Harrison Jesudason, Connor Kelly, Jihoon Kim, Lars Lang, Matt Lapointe,
Justin Mack, Reagan Nel, Matthew Nieman,
Dave Schuerman, Lucas Schuerman, Victor
Smith, and Gus Urtubia, all Grade 12. Also
on the team are Logan Causier, Luke Coles,
Brandon Cornford, and Tresoro Mwanza, all
Grade 11.
When asked who they think will
be their biggest competition this season, Jesudason immediately answered with Wisewood: “For Juniors, I think our biggest competition would be Wisewood, because they
have a huge front row. The backs are kind of
small but they’re still pretty good.”
Lancers may recognize a number
of the players on Scarlett’s Rugby teams this
season because many of them played for the
Junior and Senior Boys Football teams earlier this school year. Since football and rugby
share many of the same skills, many football
players choose to play for the rugby team
as well. “I played football last semester and
I’ve been playing for a few years. I thought
Junior Boys Rugby Team gets ready to make a play in a recent game against Ernest Manning
rugby would be a cool thing to do to advance
my skills and just everything overall,” said
Jesudason. When he was asked about their
Rugby team to get out and show people in
the U.K. some of the skills they have learned
during their years at Scarlett. Hopefully ev-
Scarlett’s Junior Boys Rugby Team prepare to shake hands with their opponents after a game
team dynamic, he told the FEVER that many
of the Grade 11 and 12 players are like mentors to the Grade 10s: “A lot of the guys
are really positive and patient with us, especially the senior and Grade 11 guys who
are coming down to play.” It is good to see
that peers are so willing to help each other
out and work to make some of the new team
members feel comfortable. It makes a huge
difference when it comes to games, and can
definitely be the determining factor between
a win or a loss.
Jesudason also spoke about a possible trip for the Senior Boys Rugby team
next year. Scarlett rugby players would have
the chance to travel to the United Kingdom:
“We might be going to the U.K., touring
around and playing rugby with some of the
kids out there, and getting some game experience from them. Mr. Housley is also trying to organize something where we can go
and see what their schools are like and go to
a few classes with them.” This would be a
great opportunity for Scarlett’s Senior Boys
erything works out and they are able to go on
this trip next year.
Lancers should definitely make sure to go
to a game and show their support for Scarlett’s Junior and Senior Boys teams on one
or more of these upcoming dates. The FEVER wishes them luck on the remainder of
their season.

Scarlett ends the basketball season with highs and lows
By Eima Dafalla
The 2015-16 basketball
season has ended and it is time to
take a look back on the highlights
and low points of Scarlett on the
court. With only one of Scarlett’s
teams making it close to becoming
City Champions, it is evident that
this year’s season was extremely
competitive. There were some
great games played and every team
showed great skill, sportsmanship,
and effort both on and off the court.
Overall Scarlett showed outstanding improvement throughout the
season, but it just was not enough
to carry them to the championships.
The FEVER was able to
catch up with the coaches of the
teams to get their breakdowns of
the season. Graham Gage, coach of
the Jr. Boys team stated that “the
junior boys team was made up of
mostly Grade 10s with a few Grade
11s [to] add some experience and
to round off the team.
They had a great start to
the season, competing and doing
very well in their tournaments before and after the holiday break.
The team finished their season in
seventh place in the south, placing them in Division 2 Playoffs.
Unfortunately, they were unable
to put it all together, and finished

Kobe Bryant’s final game solidifies his legendary status
By Wenonah
North Peigan
On April 13, 2016 Kobe
Bryant tied for his fifth-highest
scoring NBA performance ever
with 60 points; it was also his last.
No Hall-of-Famer has scored over
30 points in their final game; Bryant scored twice that amount.
In a poem that was released on
November 2015 in The Player Tribune, entitled, “Dear Basketball,”
Bryant announced his impending
retirement. In a career that spanned
20 seasons, 5 championships, 1
MVP Award and 18 All-Star Game
selections, it is undeniable the 6’6
guard from Lower Merion High
School in Pennsylvania has made a
name for himself on the court, but
many question his heroic status.
He was a hero in the 1996
NBA draft when he was immediately traded from the team he was
originally drafted, the Charlotte
Hornets, to the Los Angeles Lakers
where he would spend the rest of
his 20-year career.
He was a villain after re-
ports came to light of his feud with player in the league
teammate Shaquille O’Neal over

Retiring will probably not stop Kobe from a game of pick up

He was a hero in the 2001 NBA
season when he and O’Neal led the
Lakers to their second consecutive
championship, including a 15-1 record playoff run, with O’Neal even
claiming that Bryant was the best
him so loud that he claimed it
brought tears to his eyes. Much to
the displeasure of the crowd, Bryant even exclaimed to the fans that
he was going to, “cut your hearts
out!”
He was a hero in 2006
when he scored 81 points in a
game, beating the Toronto Raptors,
the second highest scoring performance ever, and the highest scoring performance in this century.
He was a villain in that
same Raptors game when he had a
total of two assists in typical Black
Mamba fashion. While it was expected that Bryant would always
have a low assist score due to his
reputation as a player with a selfish
tendency, the stats do not lie.
He was a hero in the 2009
and 2010 seasons when he proved
to everyone, including himself that
he did not need O’Neal to win a
championship, scoring the Lakers
two consecutive NBA Championship banners to hang in the Staples
Centre.
He was a villain in the
2013 NBA season when he signed
a contract extension with the Lakers valued at $48.5 million dollars.
This, in turn, would prevent the
Lakers from improving the talent
for several years, marking the be-
ginning of their worst years as a
team yet.
He was a villain in the
consecutive games after his retirement announcement when he
played the fourth quarters of tight
games, also known as crunch time,
not giving the younger player the
experience the team needed.
He was a hero on April
13 2016 when, after a historically
bad season, he won his final game
against the Utah Jazz and recorded
his last ever statistic, an assist to
young Laker, Jordan Clarkson.
Since the beginning of
Bryant’s tenure with the Los Angeles Lakers his time has been
marked by a series of high and a
series of lows; however, after 20
years, it is time for not only Los
Angeles to say goodbye to the
future Hall-Of-Famer, but for all
NBA fans to as well. For those who
still wonder if he will ultimately go
down as a hero, in the words of
Bryant himself, “heroes come and
go, but legends are forever.”

Track and Field team gets Scarlett’s badminton team
ready for upcoming events
takes a smash at Cities
By Sydney Crosby
So far the track team has not had a
chance to prove their worth in competition
as that comes near the end of the season.
They have only had practices, but they smile
the whole time and give 110% effort. Some
athletes are returning champs and others are
new to the team. For those who do not know,
track and field is a combination of sports
that involve running, jumping, or throwing.
Participants can choose which event to join,
allowing them to showcase their individual
strengths.
some very well rounded athletes are needed.
Last year, the Lancers came very close to
winning a banner, but did not score enough
points at any level: Jr. Girls, Jr. Boys, Intermediate Girls, Intermediate Boys, Sr. Girls,
or Sr. Boys. They have worked hard to up
their game since last season, hoping to win
at least one banner this year.
All the Lancers are looking good
so far, but based on last year, there is high
hope for the Intermediate Girls and Senior
Boys. Every year the Lancers have strength
at different levels, and this is no different;
hopefully nobody starts avoiding practice.
Student, Logan Kinghorn, Grade 12, is constantly practicing for his track and field sport events
This year, Lancers are participating in many different events, with many expert coaches (Paul Sze, Kim Cousins, Dave
Stock, Marc Wyton, Fraser Calderwood,
and Jossann Drolet). The track stars had a
competition in Kamloops on April 30. On
May 5, 11, and 13 at Foothills Park, the University of Calgary hosts three Dino meets,
also known as outdoor challenge. On May
19, Lancers will compete in a Red Division
meet at Foothills Park and on May 28 it is off
to City Champions, also at Foothills. If that
that is not enough, on June 3-4 Provincials
are held in Edmonton.
Scarlett has a chance to win many
banners. At the meets Lancers participate in
ten activities: sprint, distance, discus, shot
put, javelin, long lump, high jump, pole
vault, hurdles, and relay. This year there
is a new event, so there are now eleven in
total. The new event is Pentathlon which is
a combination of distance running, jumping, throwing, and hurdles. This means that
Coach Calderwood, who has been coaching
sprint and relay for three years, is particularly impressed with the Jr. Boys and Jr.Girls;
they practice harder than anyone else.
Calderwood enjoys helping the students do
something other than an essay. Coach Sze,
who has being helping with track for over
20 years, is excited for all competitors to
do their personal best; if the Lancers do not
win, at least they tried. Early on, it is tough
to predict quite how things will play out, but
Chase Wall, Grade 12, is expected to be a
star in Javelin. If any Lancers wish to join
track there is still time; Intermediate Boys
and Senior Girls could really use some relay
members.
Hopefully Lancers are inspired to
be part of something big. Track meets are
super fun, according to what the students
say. To join, go to the field behind the school
any day after classes or speak to one of the
coaches, because new members are always
welcome.

through vigirous practice all throughout the
months of February and March, preparing
for their upcoming tournaments in April.
On March 30, the first badminton exhibition
game was held at Dr. E.P. Scarlett against
Aberhart. Lancers then went on to their
first official tournament held at Crescent
Heights High School on April 1. Everyone
performed exceptionally well, especially
Scarlett’s Jessica Zou, Grade 10, who won
silver for Scarlett in Junior Girls Singles.
The Orange Crush tournament,
held at William Aberhart High School, undoubtedly yielded one of the best results
for Scarlett by far. The tournament began
on April 4 and lasted for three consecutive
days. The Singles Team won bronze with
twenty-seven wins, fourteen losses, and one
tie. In addition, the Doubles Team placed

Badminton tryouts were held in
the beginning of February, and resulted in
a massive turnout with an influx of high
school students from all grades. Teams went
fourth in the tournament, with twenty wins,
twenty-one losses, and one tie. Unfortunately, the Mixed Doubles, though they played
their hardest, had Orange Crush turnouts
result of eleven wins and thirty-one losses.
Badminton divisonals were held
from April 12 to 14; this tournament was
particularly critical for the Lancers as it
determined qualifiers for City Championships. The City Championships were
held the following two weeks, and players from doubles and singles both made
it. The results from this tournament will
also be the deciding factor in choosing the representatives for Calgary.
Scarlett’s badminton team’s
win streak has inevitably gained immense reputability amongst fellow rival schools - and earned multiple medals
for Dr. E.P. Scarlett. The team of Scarlett’s FEVER wishes Lancers the best
of luck for their upcoming tournaments.

Teachers prove victory over student team, Marco Likes
Pie, in anticipated annual dodgeball tournament finale
By Aisyah Ghazali
Dr. E.P. Scarlett celebrated St. Patrick’s Day with the
long-awaited conclusion of the annual dodgeball tournaments. On
Thursday, March 17, winners of
the coveted cup, team Marco Likes
Pie, played off against a team consisting of chosen elite teachers for
their finale dodgeball match. However, it was the end of Marco Likes
Pie’s winning streak, as the teachers obliterated the student team. As
expected, dodgeball served as no
challenge towards Scarlett’s very
own distinguished teachers.
The actual dodgeball
games began on Friday, February 26 and ended on Wednesday,
March 16, with Marco Likes Pie,
a team of Grade 12s, reigning as
champions. From their final match
on Wednesday, team D3 Boiiiii
proudly took home second place
against the undefeated players.
Marco Likes Pie was awarded with
the coveted Dodgeball Cup, a trophy with a dodgeball literally taped
on it, and a bucket of candy. It was
not a total loss for D3 Boiiiii, as
they too received a bucket of candy
for winning silver.
With 16 entries, this
year’s participating teams included Snoop Dodge, Menopossum’s, Fleece Factory, Cope Boys,
Double ‘D’ Dodgers, Factor, D3
Boiiiii,Walakiki’s, Marco Likes
Pie, Dodge Daddies, Property of
Bamford, Goji’s, 760 Sick, TSM,
Scarlett RFC, and Milk. It was
a tough battle this year with ev-
eryone playing their best, and the
FEVER would like to congratulate
everyone who participated in Scarlett’s very own annual dodgeball
tournament.
The teachers’ team consisted of Jim Bamford, Physical
Education; Jonathan Bell, Music;
Paul Brown, Music; Arlene Buchan, Physical Education; Jossann
Drolet, Language Arts; Graham
Gage, Social Studies; Claire Patterson, Social Studies; Raynell
Prince, Physical Education; Paul
Sze, Physical Education; and Matt
Thompson, Social Studies. Every
one of the teachers wore green in
honour of St. Patrick’s Day, and
were very vibrant compared to
their opponents’ uniform of grey
sweatsuits. Many of the teachers
even sported matching sparkly
green bows to commemorate the
event further.
However, that is not
all, Drolet even brought out her
hockey headgear, used as protection against her students’ rapid
dodgeball attacks. As expected
from Scarlett’s teachers, they came
prepared and ready crush their students.
The match consisted of
three games, played during the
lunch hour in Scarlett’s gymnasium. In the first game, it seemed
as if Marco Likes Pie were going
to end up victorious again. The
teachers were out almost instantly
against the 12s powerful throws.
Against the top dog of dodgeball,
the teachers seemed as if they did
not stand a chance, even with their
backhanded tricks. Sze was caught
hiding multiple balls behind his
back before the game started, but
the boys of Marco Likes Pie did
and amazing well-timed catches,”
mentioned Patterson when asked
about memorable moments in the
last game. The boys, while great in
the first game, slowly began
to lose their momentum. Humorously enough, majority of
the players in the student team
got out because of the catches
by their opponents. It was the
end of Marco Likes Pie, with
the teachers winning two out
of the three games.
When asked on this year’s
tournament, Gage, a proud
supporter of dodgeball, said:
“It was a highly intended
showcase of Scarlett’s best
dodgeball players and we
want to thank those players
and teams that played with
integrity.” Special thanks towards the people who endlessly hosted, participated,
and cheered on for the dodgeball tournament. Especially
without the efforts of Prince
and her leadership students,
the games could not have happened. As always, Scarlett’s

Score:
The most exciting hockey is often
found in the playoffs. This is true because
the format pits division rivals against each
other on the most important playing field,
and while California is not the most active
hockey market, it seems to be the most talented. All three California teams qualified
for the playoffs this season, dominating the
Pacific Division and taking the top three
spots. In fact, they were the only teams from
the Pacific Division to make the playoffs.
The surprise of the season is arguably the
Anaheim Ducks, who went from last place
in December to first place in the Pacific, decided in the final few games. The three teams
have the talent to go far in the playoffs.
Los Angeles has won the cup two
times in the last five seasons, and has only
missed the playoffs once in the last 7 years.
They pack a full punch with strong goaltending, defense and offense. Jonathan Quick is
one of the best goaltenders in the world and
posted a .922 save percentage. Drew Doughty is a Norris nominated defenseman, playing behind All-Star forward Anze Kopitar.
The San Jose Sharks are also blessed with
strong offense, with the likes of Brent Burns,
Joe Pavelski and Patrick Marleau who combined for 179 points this season. They have
an interesting goaltending tandem of James
Reimer and Martin Jones. Jones is likely to
be the starter if only because Reimer was an
acquisition at the end of the trade deadline.
--
He also finished off the season with a .931
save percentage. The trick to beating them
is likely to shut down the offense and take
advantage of the lesser-known defensemen.
The Anaheim Ducks have a strong
offensive front, not only brought forward by
a strong forward presence but also by the
defense. The Ducks’ top 3 forwards: Ryan
Getslaf, Corey Perry and Ryan Kesler are
three of the strongest in the league, and the
chemistry between Getslaf and Perry may
only be rivalled by Benn and Seguin (Dallas)
and Kane and Toews (Chicago). The team
also has defensemen who contribute offensively, although none of them are highlyranked. In terms of goaltending, the Ducks
have alternated between Andersen and Gibson all season, but both have posted similar
numbers: 2.07 GAA for Gibson and 2.30
GAA for Andersen.
Note: San Jose is the only Californian team
to move to the second round.
Penalty:
With the season coming to an end,
the nominees for the NHL awards are being
released. These awards vary from MVP to
top goaltender to Coach of the Year. Most
of these awards are chosen by the Professional Hockey Writers’ Association; however, some are chosen by the teammates of
the players or other organizations in contact
with the players. The Bill Masterton Trophy, which is awarded to the player who
“best exemplifies the qualities of perseverance, sportsmanship and dedication to
ice hockey,” is chosen by the Professional
Hockey Writers’ Association in each NHL
city. A nominee from each team is chosen
and the list is narrowed to three finalists before one player is chosen to win the award.
Last year’s winner was Devan Dubnyk, a
goaltender for the Minnesota Wild, who car-

ried the Wild from eight points outside
of a playoff spot in January to a playoff
berth in April. There was some controversy on this decision, as fans thought
that Kris Letang, one of the finalists, had
been overlooked for the award. Letang
had suffered a stroke during the season,
yet came back just a couple of months
later, seemingly good as new. The controversy is already heating up for this
year’s Bill Masterton Award. The writers released the nominees from each team and one

to the Sabres after refusing to play in Colorado and requesting a trade. This previous
summer, O’Reilly crashed his car into a Tim
Horton’s and fled the scene. The argument
is that O’Reilly leads the Sabres in goals
and all forwards in ice time per game. It was
stated that O’Reilly’s dedication to the team
and the fact that he stays late after practices
is enough to make him a recipient of the
award; however, critics argue that anyone
facing criminal charges should not be a recipient of this award.
Some players to look out for to
become finalists are Jaromir Jagr (Florida),
Matts Zuccarello (Rangers), Andrew Cogliano (Ducks), Max Domi (Coyotes) and Jonas
Gustavsson (Bruins). Jagr may be the candidate as he is the Panther’s scoring leader at
44 years of age. Zuccarello suffered a brain
contusion and a life-threatening skull fracture and has recovered. Cogliano holds the
Iron Man Streak with over 670 consecutive
games played. Both Gustavsson and Domi
have overcome health issues and continue to
be strong players for their teams. The NHL
Awards will take place in Las Vegas this
June.
Prospects:
Since the season has ended, it is
time to look at who could get the first few
picks and the players that are up for grabs.
According to Draft Site, a website that holds
a mock draft to predict which players will go
to which teams; the Leafs will likely win the
lottery to receive the first round pick and will
select Auston Matthews (ZSC Lions). This

team include: Nina Garrett, Mya Hastie,
played on the Junior team in 2015, and have
since advanced to the Senior team.
One such player, Jadon Schmidt
(Grade 11), was extremely influential to the
success of the Lancers first game, scoring
two of the five goals. Also scoring two goals
was Allyse Oland (Grade 12), who is a returning player from the 2015 Senior team.
Kelsie Volek (Grade 11) scored a fifth goal
on a stroke, which is similar to a penalty
shot in ice hockey.
The Grade 12 students playing
alongside Schmidt, Oland, and Volek for
the 2016 season are: Anna Bender, Leah
Gates, Emma Hastie, Marthe Henry, Sarah
Kulle, Jordan Overwater, Kira Parkinson,
Ashley Rensby, Brooke Sherwin, and Maddie Yeomans. The Grade 11 students on the

does not come as a surprise to most people,
including the Leafs themselves. While Gary
Bettman has stated that teams do not deliberately tank, the Leafs seem to be proof
enough that he is wrong. After trading their
starting goaltender and bringing up the majority of their AHL team for the remaining
games, the Leafs seemed to be doing everything they could to finish at the bottom
and they succeeded. In one game this past
month, the entire Leafs’ roster had fewer
points than Jaromir Jagr, who was playing
for the Florida Panthers. Most teams will
bring up some AHL players if they recognize they will not be making the playoffs to
see who could make the team next year. Finishing last does not guarantee them the first
pick but it is likely that the Leafs will pick
in the top three. The NHL has created a new
lottery system in order to stop the Edmonton Oilers from continuously winning the
lottery, regardless of where they finish. The
team that finishes last has a 20% chance of
winning the lottery, the second last team has
a 13.5% chance of winning and it continues
like that with the top team in the league having a 1.0% chance of winning.
For Canadian fans, it will be interesting to watch. In the bottom six, there are
five Canadian teams. Fan 960 radio hosts
Rhett Warrener and Dean Molberg (Boomer), stated that so long as the Calgary Flames
finish in the bottom six, they will have a
prime choice of draft picks. Draft Site has
the Flames ranked 3rd, selecting Finnish
star Jessi Puljujarvi. Puljujarvi seems to be
the Flames top choice going into the draft,
as he would improve goal scoring and offensive pressure, which is a key problem
for the Flames. With the trade of Jiri Hudler
before the deadline, the Flames are in need
of a strong right-winger, which they could
find in Puljujarvi. This year’s draft class is
quite strong, featuring players who excelled
at this year’s World Junior Championships
this past January. Another familiar name is
Matthew Tkachuk, son of former NHLer
Keith Tkachuk. Draft Site has him selected
4th overall by the Winnipeg Jets.
Note: Toronto won the lottery and will pick
first on June 24 in Buffalo.

Stephanie Maxwell, coach of the 2016 Senior Team, has high hopes for the season
saying that her goal for the team this season
is “to win the Division Two City Championships.”
Maxwell’s optimism and ambition
is shared among the players of the team as
well. Bender, Grade 12, states that “[The
team] is really great at working together and
talking. This season is going to be full of
surprising achievements.”
If Lancers wish to witness the
“surprising achievements” that both teams
surely have in store, they are encouraged to
lend their support at games. The next game
for both the Juniors and Seniors takes place
May 18 at 4:00 pm, at Shouldice Athletic
Park. Good luck Lancers!
