DON’T JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER H

i there, Hawks. Welcome back to my little corner of randomness, where today, we’re talking about labels.

Now, why labels? Because simply put, the world has too many of them.

Ever since the ripe old age of 6, there was one thing I wanted more than anything else in the world. I wanted to be able to read, just like the rest of my peers.

When I was introduced to braille, I got that chance, and Ritika Khanal CO-EDITOR-IN-CHIEF there began a lifelong journey of reading anything and everything.

Early on, I read it all, from elevator buttons that had braille underneath them to the bathroom rules that were posted in braille at my elementary school.

However, after a while, elevator buttons and bathroom signs got boring, and I needed something more. That is when I discovered the world of books.

As I explored the small braille section in our school library, I quickly discovered that each book had a label. Not just the title, but a category that it was assigned to.

“This is the historical fiction shelf,” my teacher explained as I explored the small section of braille books in our school library.

My young and curious mind soaked that information in, and days later, when I came back to the library, I went straight to the “historical fiction” shelf.

“All of these books are historical fiction,” I said proudly, and I was rewarded with approving words of assent.

As I began reading more and more books, I also discovered the joy of recommending them to those around me.

“Okay, what do you like? Science fiction or fantasy?” I found myself asking my teachers and peers.

Their answer determined the books I would recommend to them, and the categorization continued. Armed with the societal norm of labeling, I began feeding that tradition and perpetuating its continuation, focusing on the characteristics I needed to label a certain book in one category or another. If it checked those boxes, it passed my test, and if it didn’t, well, it was getting shoved into a genre anyway.

But why? Why was I giving these unique books I was reading random labels instead of seeing them for their individual stories? Who was I to put a book into one box and refuse to allow it to be a part of another just because it seemed to have more of the elements of one genre than another?

As I reflect upon these questions, I’ve realized that it’s because I was trained, from an extremely young age, to label them. When I first began to read, books were just that.

Books. I would never have known to look for a label for each one, beyond its individual content and story, had it not been for the fact that I was told it fell under a certain category.

In some cases, these labels make sense. If someone likes to read about historical events in a fictional light, it’s convenient for them to go to the historical fiction section of a library.

However, the more I observe the world and the way that we’re raised as individuals, the more I realize that book labeling is just another thing that we as humans do to follow this longingrained pattern of labeling. We label books, food and each other. Those labels then determine how our society functions, what we can and can’t do and who gets to make those decisions.

As we sat on the rug of my third grade classroom, I remember our teacher saying, “Don’t judge a book by its cover.”

Now, covers have never truly made sense to me, with braille covers consisting of merely the title and the author, but when I’d listen to my classmates looking for books in the library, I understood the need for that reminder. More than once, as I sat in my little corner of the library, I would hear one of my classmates say to another, “Oh, that cover looks ugly. Let’s not read that.”

Every time I heard that, I wanted to ask them the “what if ” questions. What if the cover art just didn’t work out that time, but the book was amazing? How could one glance tell them everything they needed to know about that book? What if it became their favorite of all time if they gave it a chance?

Over the years, I’ve thought a lot about my early childhood of book discovery and the labels I learned to give. I’m also constantly haunted by the “what if ” questions, and I know they’ve driven me to read anything and everything I can lay my hands on.

When my friends or teachers recommend books to me, they often ask what genres I prefer. My answer has always been “I’ll read just about anything,” and it’s true. That fear of missing out has made me pick up everything, even books that friends have said they didn’t like; I’d rather finish the book myself to determine my thoughts on it.

Books are not the only things we put into boxes, however.

We do it to literally everything in this world, and often, that labeling has serious negative impacts.

Throughout history, we’ve put labels on each other, and determined what we can and can’t do based on those labels.

We’ve put each other in boxes, and expected everyone to agree with those labels and expectations. We’ve systematically oppressed people and allowed it to happen, and all of us have grown up with unconscious stereotypes and reactions.

For example, a person with long hair who wears skirts and pink clothing must be a female, society often says. Yet, as friends around me have worked to figure out their identities, I’ve seen them realize that they don’t fall into any of the boxes that our society has predetermined, and they don’t want those labels. Just like I was taught to label books, we’ve all been taught to label each other, and it’s difficult for people to be who they want to be because of it.

However, we have the power to change that, and all it takes is awareness. What if we actively choose to put those labels aside? What if we choose to see books for their stories first instead of their genres? What if we make the conscious decision to see each other for the people that we are instead of the millions of labels we could put down? H

Texas attempts to pass anti-trans policies

By Nico Francois

CO-EDITOR-IN-CHIEF & GRAPHICS EDITOR

According to a law suit filed on Tuesday, March 1 in Texas, officials have begun investigating parents of transgender kids for possible child abuse. This lawsuit comes after Texas Gov. Greg Abbott ordered that certain medical treatments, such as puberty blockers or the administration of testosterone, was to be viewed as a crime against the parents. Prior to Abbott’s order, Texas attorney general Ken Paxton released a non-binding opinion claiming that parents who support their transgender children with genderaffirming care, which refers to any medical care needed to help people align their bodies to their identity, could be investigated for NICO FRANCOIS | HAWKEYE child abuse. This was followed by a directive from Abbott, ordering the Texas Family and Protective Services to investigate any reported instances of what he called abusive procedures. His order put parents at risk, as well as state officials unwilling to report kids and their parents to the authorities. This is not the first time this conversation has come up in Texas, as legislation banning gender-affirming treatment for teens has been introduced before, although none of them have passed. One such bill, introduced at the last legislative session, would have redefined child abuse to include gender affirming treatment for transgender kids. Since it didn’t pass, Abbott’s letter attempts to take its place. However, Abbott’s order doesn’t change Texas law, and many county and district attorneys have spoken out, saying that they will not prosecute families for child abuse under his directive. After a state employee was investigated for supporting her transgender child, a Texas state district judge temporarily blocked Abbott’s directive. The court decided that Abbott’s order exceeded his authority under the constitution. H

TENSIONS ON THE RISE

COMPILED BY NICO FRANCOIS

The tension between Russia and Ukraine spans across many years of history, and that tension continues to grow as war broke out on Feb. 24, 2022. As the world watched and speculated, Russian missiles hit Ukraine military installations and civilians who were inside. Then, Russian armored convoys crossed the border.

Since then, fierce fighting has plagued Ukraine, with many civilians in the street to fight for their country and independence. Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy has continued to encourage his people to fight, and other countries are showing support for Ukraine as thousands are evacuated and fighting kills many more.

U.S. president Joe Biden signed a $13.6 million emergency NICO FRANCOIS | HAWKEYE military and human aid package for Ukraine and its European allies, with the goal of helping Ukraine obtain more food, medicine, shelter and support for the millions of refugees who have had to leave their homes behind. The funding will also provide weapons for the military.

Americans have also continued to show support, sporting yellow and blue clothing to represent the colors of the Ukrainian flag, and taking to social media to express their support for the country. Even still, fierce fighting continues. Russian forces have begun to target Ukrainian healthcare sights, and Mayor Ivan Fedorov was captured by Russians on Friday March 11, sparking protests.

Other countries have placed sanctions against Russia in an attempt to support Ukraine, and European allies have pitched in with aid, too. From the beginning of the war, the Russian government has made clear that its main goal is to focus on demilitarizing Ukraine. However, Ukraine forces have proven to be stronger than expected by Russia thus far. H

New ‘deltacron’ variant discovered

International

New COVID-19 variant named the “deltacron” has been detected in France, the Netherlands, Denmark and recently in the United States back in February. At this time there have only been 17 identified cases in the U.S and scientists say there is no need for concern. The deltacron is a very rare hybrid of the delta and omicron variants, and the surface protein called the “spikes” of the body is the only part of the virus that is from omicron. The rest of the body is from delta. H

U.S. inflation skyrockets

National

As the United States tries to punish the Russian economy for its attack on Ukraine, gas prices have skyrocketed for United States consumers. Along with that, inflation in prices has risen to an all time high.

According to data released by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) , a measure of inflation, rose 7.9 percent over the last year. This represents the highest annual inflation rate since January of 1992, and surpassed records set by inflation increase in December 2021 to January 2022. This increase is driven by the increase in price for gas, shelter and food. H

The end of an era for the Seahawks

State

Fans of the Seattle Seahawks were shocked when, on Tuesday, March 8, the team announced that they were parting ways with quarterback Russell Wilson and linebacker Bobby Wagner. Wilson was traded to the Denver Broncos, while Wagner’s $20 million salary for 2022 was too much for Seattle to handle. Both Wilson and Wagner played for the Seahawks for 10 years, and were integral to the team’s success. Both players have made history with their accomplishments over the years and became beloved members of the Seattle community. Many fans are voicing their displeasure at the news, saying that the team is letting go of two legends. H

State approves $17 billion transportation bill

State

The Washington State Legislature approved a transportation package for the state on March 10 that would allot roughly $16.9 billion within the next two decades for various projects around Washington. The package, known as “Move Ahead Washington,” focuses on major investments in pedestrian safety, the maintenance of transportation means and reducing harmful impacts on the environment. The package also has funds set aside in order to supply all passengers under the age of 18 with free transportation fares on buses, trains, ferries and any other mode of public transportation. H

Lynnwood Growth Center Plan in motion

Local

Early in its stages of development, the Lynnwood city council has begun to discuss the Regional Growth Center Plan for the city, which would finance the development of apartment buildings and homes to house over 25,000 people.

The growth plan also involves creating over 20,000 jobs for local residents, which some council members initially opposed due to a concern for traffic around the city. Residents are hopeful that the addition of new jobs, homes and people will be manageable with the completion of the Lynnwood light rail in 2024. H

The mask mandate is gone, but uncertainty remains

By Mika Raring HAWKEYE STAFF

I

n an attempt to stop the spread of COVID-19, protective face coverings have been required for the past two years by the Washington State Department of Health. This has recently changed, however, with Governor Jay Inslee lifting the mask mandate in Washington in mid-March, sparking many mixed feelings. With this new normal, the school district has been working towards establishing a community where all decisions and opinions are respected, even as many new questions arise.

A statewide indoor mask mandate was put into place by Gov. Inslee on June 26, 2020, directing all private businesses and institutions to require masks worn indoors at all times. This was implemented to slow the spread of COVID-19, as studies show that masks have an 80% efficiency against the transmission of influenza-like illnesses, with surgical masks such as the N95 blocking roughly 95% of particles in the air.

As the numbers of cases begin to decline, the state health department has been tasked with determining the point at which it is safe to no longer require masks. Edmonds School District Assistant Superintendent Greg Schwab gave context on some of the background information about the decision.

“Governor Inslee referred to [Washington State] scientific data, which seems to indicate that rates of COVID transmission and serious illness are on the decline, as we have seen the omicron variant work its way through our communities,” Schwab said. “Also, the Centers for Disease Control has issued similar recommendations that masking seems to no longer be something that needs to be mandated at the state or national levels.”

During mid-January, just as the omicron variant was mov-

ing through, there were an average of around 1,700 new daily shown a range of opinions and thoughts about approaches to cases per 100,000 people. In comparison, there are currently mask-wearing after the mandate is lifted. about 79 new cases daily per 100,000 people, meaning that the Because of differences in perspectives towards mask-wearing, overall trend in new cases has gone down a significant amount. the district is looking ahead to address possible conflicts by These numbers have greatly influenced Inslee’s decision on proactively advocating consideration of others’ points of view. masking, leading to the announcement that the mask man“I think the main conflict coming up is that there are people date was to be lifted on Saturday, March 12, 2022, no longer on both sides of this issue who have differing opinions,” requiring masks indoors.

Schwab said. “We have heard already from both sides on this Schwab indicated that this statement would include all issue-- some want us to stop requiring masks immediately Washington state schools. and others want us to not follow the mandate and continue to “This decision applies to all public and private schools in require students and staff to wear masks in schools.”

Superintendent Dr. Gustavo Balderas wrote. “We encourage families to discuss and decide if wearing a mask to school is right for your student. Bullying will not be tolerated for anyone wearing, or not wearing, a mask.”

Students are also facing some indecision when it comes to the lifting of the mask mandate.

“I feel like we’re approaching a point where it’s a personal choice,” sophomore Ben Marx said. “I think we should still strongly encourage it in densely-populated areas, especially indoors, but it’s not as important as the start of the pandemic or the omicron surge.”

Marx said he felt that mask-wearing should be an individual choice, but that the school could still strongly encourage or advise mask-wearing in crowded indoor places like hallways.

Sophomore Hannah Martins brought up a different point of view, expressing how, in some ways, it may be a little scary not wearing masks.

“The mask-wearing itself is uncomfortable, but the protection it gives has helped me with anxiety throughout the pandemic,” Martins said. “Honestly, when we aren’t required to wear masks, I’ll admit I’m scared.”

For many, masks served as a sense of comfort and protection through the stresses of COVID. However, Martins also pointed out some upsides of lifting the mask mandate, giving one example of the academic difficulty it brings.

“We can get to know our peers better when we can see each others’ faces,” Martins said. “I know in my ASL class learning has been really hard because sign language is an extremely expressive language, and the barrier of masks has been a large obstacle in the deaf community.”

Many classes are much harder to teach while using masks, whether it’s because of the lack of connection, or a physical

barrier that’s needed when teaching a particular subject. The American Sign Language class, or, ASL, is an excellent example of a course that depends on a strong connection through facial expressions and the conveyance of feelings, both of which are made challenging by masks. Other classes may face the complication of pronunciation, musical tone for classes such as band or choir, or general lack of connection among students.

Chemistry and Astronomy teacher Mark Burbank reasoned with both sides of the argument.

“It [masking] certainly has scientific backing that it reduces everything [risks], as does social distancing and vaccinations,” Burbank said. “So as part of trying to reduce things, I really do support the masks, it really has helped, scientifically. But at the same time, I’m tired of it as well. Where is the balance going to be?”

Although most people continued to follow the mandate while it was in place, a lot were tired of wearing masks.

In addition to the academic downsides mentioned by Martins, the potential for more cases is very real. Without masks, the risk of infection increases greatly, and the school district, as well as the state, needs to be ready to react.

“I think that we will have to be prepared to return to more masking if we see an increase in the number of COVID cases,” Schwab said. “As we know, COVID has proven to be tricky to deal with, so we need to understand that this may be a possibility. We hope not, but we should be ready.”

This potential risk of greater COVID-19 cases and exposure brings up the question of if this is a safe decision or not.

Burbank indicated that he has a lot of confidence in the school district and its decision.

“From my working with the district and knowing the people involved in the decision, they did not take the decision lightly,”

Burbank said. “They consulted national information, state information, the county board of health, the school board, and they’re trying to find the balance between health and welfare.

The students, which is number one, but that also includes their mental health as well.”

In reaching its decision to lift mask mandates, the school district prioritized finding a balance between the mental health of students, teachers and staff, and physical safety from COVID19 transmission.

With the lifting of the mask mandate, other mitigating strategies are being employed such as testing, and measures are being taken and improved daily to make COVID testing more accessible to all people.

“At the federal level they’re putting a lot of resources into things like prior testing, and having stockpiles of things,” Burbank said. “They’re also intimating a program now where you can go into a pharmacy and get tested, and if you get tested and it [rapid test] comes back positive, you can [immediately] get medications for things that will help you.”

As the COVID-19 pandemic progresses, the state and federal governments are working towards adapting to create a new normal that is closer to the pre-pandemic society.

Overall the consensus remains that although the mask mandate lifting may be new, respect towards others’ decisions still has to remain a priority.

“When we come to a time where it’s truly a choice, and that there are those who are choosing to wear masks and there are those who are choosing not to, and there’s no policy one way or another, I think that this is going to be time for our compassion and our understanding to come forward. It’s important that we respect the decision of people wearing masks,” Wilson said. H

WAR IN UKRAINE HAS IMPACTS ON TERRACE COMMUNITY Casualties mount as the war begins its second month

By Jakob Nacanaynay HAWKEYE STAFF

As conflict rages on in Ukraine, the reverberations are being felt in the Terrace community.

The war in Ukraine has concerned ELL (English Language Learning) teacher Michelle Tessier having students whose families are personally affected.

“I have a Ukrainian student,” Tessier said.

“His town in Ukraine is near the Black Sea which is where some of the heaviest violence is going on right now. They are very worried for the family they left behind and friends.”

Tessier, having students from Russia, also makes it a point to not make assertions about Russian people as a whole.

“Putin is one man,” Tessier said. “He does not necessarily represent the views of the people. I’ve heard, even locally now, that people are boycotting Russian restaurants even though it’s the Russian people, so I am concerned. I watched what happened when we had the Muslim ban and I am worried for the Russian population, and I am extremely worried for the Ukrainians.”

One of Tessier’s students, Liia Shaibova,

has a glimpse of both sides of the war having a Russian family while also having friends in Ukraine. “[My friends] for now they’re fine,” Shaibova said. “Sometimes they hear airplanes and they hide in basements. They’re really scared.”

The war in Ukraine has led to record numbers of refugees fleeing to neighboring countries on a magnitude unseen in Europe since WW2. As of March 9, two million people in total have emigrated from Ukraine. About 1.5 million fled to Poland, with Hungary, Slovakia and Romania also taking a significant number of refugees.

Shaibova has stated she is against the invasion of Ukraine, but some of her family in Russia continue to support Putin.

“My family–my grandmas, they are with Putin, the president,” Shaibova said. “I tried to talk to both of them because I said ‘this is terrible’ and she believes the news… Russian news is not always true.”

Since the start of the invasion, Russian authorities have been cracking down on the press and anti-war protesters. On March 4, a new bill was signed into law in Russia that makes it illegal to use the word “war” or “invasion” to describe the situation in Ukraine, punishable by up to 15 years.

According to COVD-Info, a human rights

media project based in Russia, 13,022 people were arrested on arbitrary charges for protesting against the war in Ukraine as of March 6.

“At first, [some of my family] didn’t believe that the war just began,” Shaibova said.

“They didn’t believe in this because on the news it says ‘no, it’s not war.’ Then, the news said that now in Russia it’s illegal to say or write ‘war’. So now they use other words to describe it.”

In response to the invasion of Russia, the global community has united to put economic pressure on Russia and supply Ukraine.

On Feb. 27, Russian banks were cut from SWIFT, an international banking messaging system. Switzerland froze Russian assets, breaking a long tradition of neutrality. On March 8, President Joe Biden announced the U.S. would shut down all imports on Russian oil. Companies from McDonalds to Disney have stopped doing business in Russia. The rouble, Russia’s official currency, has since plummeted in value to ¾ a cent.

The sanctions on Russia have come at a cost for American consumers with Tessier noting, “We’re feeling it in our 401ks, our stocks. Gas prices are very high right now and they are going to continue going up, so we feel that pain,” Tessier said.

The Ukrainian forces in the capital of Kyiv

have managed to keep Russian forces in the outskirts of the city, but heavy tolls have been inflicted on multiple fronts. In addition to Kyiv, the cities of Kharkiv, Sumy and Mariupol have faced heavy shelling.

Temporary ceasefires have been called to allow civilians to escape.

“I don’t believe it will be another Afghanistan, but it will go on into guerilla warfare and it could potentially go on for much, much longer than anybody would want it to.” Tessier said. “I’m hoping that the economic sanctions will have the Russian government outside of Putin begin to reassess what would be helpful for them.”

5,000 miles away, in Terrace, Tessier encourages reaching out to help each other as the war continues.

“I think as individuals, we can support our Ukrainian community and Russian communities here at our school by reaching out.

You can tell from the emails that I’m getting back that it’s [the families] it’s warming their hearts; it makes them cry to know that they’re being supported and it’s important for me, as an ELL teacher, to support my families. I think that if we did that as a building to our families, to let them know that we’re here, that we understand the pain that you’re going through, that would be a step towards helping our community.” H

COVID COVERINGS: HOW DO WE SAFELY DISPOSE MASKS?

By Annabelle Westby HAWKEYE STAFF

Over the past two years, mask requirements have fluctuated based on the research that has been done on COVID-19.

In the beginning, we were told not to wear medical-grade masks, as they needed to be conserved for healthcare workers. Then, as COVID began getting worse again, we were told to wear a medical-grade disposable mask, as they were better at filtering the virus.

According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, (CDC) the best thing we can do is wear KN95 masks, which are different from N95’s in their fit and breathability. However, these are classified as disposable, because we use them once and then throw them away. Not only is this expensive, it is also incredibly wasteful and bad for the environment.

The general disposable masks that we use, the ones most commonly seen around the school are not paper. According to the surgical mask manufacturer Strapking, their surgical masks have three layers; inner, middle and outer. The inner and outer layers are made of spunbond polypropylene, which is a thermoplastic polymer, and the middle is made of meltblown polypropylene.

Spunbond polypropylene is what lines the bottom of couches, and is commonly used in clothes. Melt-blown polypropylene is used because it has excellent filtration and shielding capabilities. Neither of these things break down fully because they are made of a kind of plastic, and have been known to release microplastics, that linger for hundreds of years after use.

According to the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services, disposable masks cannot be recycled for multiple reasons. The first reason is that they are made of synthetic materials which cannot be reprocessed.

Disposable masks have to be sifted out of recycling by

hand. For the same reason, if they are left on the ground or flushed down the toilet, they won’t break down and therefore will stay on the ground to be picked up, or stuck in the septic system.

Since they can’t be recycled, the alternative is the garbage.

However, there is a huge environmental impact that comes along with simply disposing of them like garbage.

As is common knowledge, the massive accumulations of trash in landfills contributes heavily to climate change, as they don’t break down the same as recyclable products, and often release hazardous chemicals and microplastics. Masks have been known to do the same thing because they are made of plastics.

So, it seems that until scientists can find a way to make biodegradable masks, disposable masks will have a negative environmental impact.

Masks have become a huge part of our lives, and there are things we can do to minimize the damage their disposal is causing to the environment. According to ScienceDaily’s Elvis Genbo Xu and Zhiyong Jason Ren, mask-only garbage cans could be set up to dispose of them separately from other trash. We could also make stricter rules on guidelines for mask disposal. People could use cloth masks again, or create a biodegradable disposable mask.

Cloth masks, however, are not recommended because they don’t filter as well as surgical masks. None of these are perfect solutions, especially as we currently use 129 billion masks globally every month.

One issue with getting rid of all of the disposable masks and switching to the available biodegradable masks is the price. One mask costs $35, and they are single use. With the normal disposable masks, they come in packs of 100 for $9.98 on Amazon.com. Clearly, the more eco-friendly option is far less available to the general public due to its price, so

most people won’t be able to use them.

What should the average person do in this situation? It seems that it’s too complicated to make that kind of decision.

There’s an option to buy biodegradable masks and spend tons of money. KN95’s are ideal for protection, but they harm the environment. This is another situation where the pandemic complicated people’s efforts to stop climate change.

If there is concern about the environmental impact of mask usage, there are a variety of different things people can do every day to lessen their carbon footprint. Simple things like composting and using less plastic are realistic and easy things to do. Monitoring electricity and water usage is also a viable option. Going so far as buying an electric car or putting solar panels on houses is out of range for most people, but for some it’s a step that could be taken.

The reality is, the general public doesn’t have much say in climate change, as it’s the responsibility of fossil fuel giants and corporations to use and invest in healthier alternative energy sources. We can still do what we can to lessen impact, and those help, but they aren’t enough to stop the progression entirely. This doesn’t mean we should give up, it just means that we can’t fix everything, and we also can’t take responsibility for everything, NICO FRANCOIS | HAWKEYE either. H

NEW MURALS TO GIVE MTHS A NEW LOOK

By Terina Papatu HAWKEYE STAFF

The murals in the art and STEM hallway have been the same for many years. Over the past few school years though, there have been a lot of changes. Since this has happened, some students have decided to change how the school looks. Three groups of students, and one person working alone, are all contributing to the change of the school’s appearance.

To begin, the mural to the left of room 132 is being repainted by three seniors, Tatyana Drew, Mira Policani, and Logan Blas-Felarca. For a few weeks, this group has been preparing the previous mural by priming it so they’re able to start and finish before April. Next, junior Gilliam Brady is working on the mural above the janitor closet doors.

Seniors Francesca Cali and Ethan Morrison are working on a samurai koi mural, and lastly, seniors Kerensa Suzara and Cleo Williams are working on a mural.

For last decade or so, there has been a mural to the right of room 132 with a large tree and an inspirational quote. It was decided by Drew, Policani, and Blas-Felarca that since it had been up the longest to their knowledge, it would be the mural they repaint. After they realized their first idea for the theme of the painting changed, they, with the help of a close friend, came up with a new idea.

“The original theme of this [the mural] was change! But, ironically, it changed. Our new theme is perspective,” Drew said.

Since April is coming up soon, Policani realized that even though it’ll be fun to work with two people she has been close with for a lot of her high school career, the mural painting process won’t be what they were expecting.

“It will probably take two sessions to sketch it out, then we have to add color, so I think it’ll be a while,” she said.

The group painting this mural had decided they wanted to make theirs match the mural across the hallway from where theirs is, while being different compared to all the surrounding murals color palette wise.

For Suzara, she luckily has a bit of a further deadline. Hopefully, the painting process won’t have her graduating with an unfinished mural. Her and Williams are almost done with their sketch and have had plenty of help since they began the project.

“Honestly, when I first started and I had to paint over the other mural, I had to jump.

That didn’t even get to the top, so I had fun with my friends helping me. Just taking the time to do something I enjoy, which is art, just making it in general has been my favorite.” Suzara said.

Brady is also working on the monkey mural above the doors to one of the janitor closets. He started this project in early December, after asking art teacher Nicole

“WET PAINT” sign to warn students passing through the hallway about the murals in progress, do not touch! KIMBERLY NGUYEN | HAWKEYE Mohs. While being in a class for clay, this mural is his final project.

“I asked Nicole to do the mural. It was an option for my final project and I thought it would be fun,” Brady said.

From when Suzara first stepped into Terrace for her older brother and saw the art and STEM hallway, she knew she was going to paint a mural there.

“My brother went to this school, so my first time being in the school was back in 2016, and I saw that hallway and thought, ‘One day I’m gonna paint in that hallway!’”

Suzara said.

Along with Brady, Drew, Policani, and Blas-Felarca had their own inspiration. They weren’t settled about their mural idea of ‘change’ at first.

“We consulted someone privately, who’s a friend of mine, because we needed help making a new idea from the original since we weren’t totally set on that idea.” Drew said.

Suzara had been interested in Avatar: The Last Airbender since a young age, watching it all throughout her childhood, and it is still her favorite show now. When she was given permission to begin her mural, and after choosing a place that she thought was perfect, the idea her and Williams agreed on was the show they both shared a love for.

“The main part of the mural is the Air Temple, which is supposed to be the Air Temple after all the nations unify.” Suzara said.

In art, your inspiration or idea overall is one of the most important things to have.

Luckily, Brady was inspired by a running joke him and his friends have had.

“Me and my friends have kind of had a running joke about just drawing monkeys, so I thought it’d be kind of funny if I just drew monkeys for the mural,” Brady said.

The people you work with on a project can always change the outcome of the project.

Luckily for these three, Drew chose to work with Blas-Felarca and Policani. This trio has been working together for the past few years of their lives.

“I’m gonna have a heck of a lot of fun doing what these two [Mira and Logan] call the center part, because in my part I have to do a very detailed thing.” Drew said.

Brady’s idea for his painting was caused by a joke his friends have had running, but since he didn’t want to make copies of just one character over and over, Brady has had to make different characters for his mural.

The monkeys will be surrounding one focal point, but will all be unique.

“My favorite part would be making all of the unique characters for it [the mural],” he said.

One thing that affects how people work is the idea of how others will view it. In these three cases, while the idea of how their peers will react is in the back of their minds, they’re all more concerned about how they want it to look and how they can perfect it

to their own liking.

“Hopefully when someone walks past this they go, ‘Wow, that’s cool!’ Dwell on it for a couple of seconds, try to see if there’s a theme, then don’t kick the wall,” Drew said.

One of her partners, Policani, told how she has a sibling coming to MTHS next school year.

“I have a little brother who will be here next year, and I want him to be like, ‘Yeah, my sister and her friends drew that,” she said.

To end off their high school experience, Blas-Felarca realized that even though he’s done as much as he can throughout the years, him, Drew, and Policani can use this project as a way to share parts of themselves without being too personal.

“I hope it’s memorable, just something people will think about throughout the day.

It’s like putting our story on a wall,” he said.

Suzara and Williams have also been doing plenty of work for the school as seniors, their Avatar: The Last Airbender mural, will definitely be a great addition to the murals.

“I hope they’ll [MTHS students] enjoy it, some people have already walked by while Cleo and I have been working on it, and a lot of them seem to be enjoying the concept and just seeing people make art, so I hope they’ll like the final product as well.” H

HAWKS EARN ACCOLADES AT STATE & DISTRICTS

BY HAWKEYE STAFF

The 2021-2022 winter sports season was one for the books, as Terrace athletes excelled in each sport.

Men’s Basketball The most notable team accomplishment came from the never-say-die men’s basketball team that went on an 11-game winning streak before running into losses at the Tacoma Dome against Mt. Spokane and the state’s No. 1 ranked Garfield Bulldogs. The Hawks beat Timberline and Gig Harbor at the dome to earn the program’s first 6th place 3A trophy.

The team felt the sting of disrespect from the WIAA’s seeding committee when the Hawks were placed in the 9th spot on the bracket despite running the table in the District 1 playoffs and earning the championship with a dramatic win over Ferndale.

Terrace proved the critics wrong by ousting Kelso in a loser-out first round state game then performing well at the Tacoma Dome.

While several players had excellent performances at the WIAA State Tourney, it was sophomore forward Zaveon Jones who was named the only non-senior on the All Tournament First Team – a first for any Terrace player. The Hawks finished the season with a 20-4 record overall. Jones and senior guard Jeffrey Anyimah were also named to the WIBCA All State teams.
