Entrepreneurship ‘company’ offering variety of shirts It takes serious business skill to create one’s very own business and keep it running successfully, including advanced decision making skills, creativity and determination, and that is exactly what the students in business teacher Julie Cuvelier’s sixth hour entrepreneurship class are doing. “Entrepreneurship is a small business management course that teaches business ownership, marketing, the economics of business, social responsibility and management,” Cuvelier said. Their business is called The Company, and it will be selling Cedar Falls-themed apparel. Products will include baseball tees ($17), bro tanks ($15) and racerbacks ($15). The tees will come in grey/black and grey/ red. The bro tank and racerback will come in red. The class offers students a
chance to experience what it is like to run a business. “Starting my own business is something that interests me,” sophomore and Vice President of The Company Jacob Nelson said. Students also gain valuable business skills. “As a class we get to work together and do all the things a normal business would do — from designing a product to promoting it and eventually selling it to the public,” senior and President of The Company Grace Gubbrud said. Running a business comes with its ups and downs. “The hardest part about running the business is coming to a decision as a class on different things,” Nelson said. Despite the roadblocks and challenges that Cuvelier’s business owners face, there are also times of success and pride. “My favorite part of the

The Student Senate will host its fourth annual Tiger Trot 5k fun run on Saturday, April 16 at 8 a.m. at Pfeiffer Park. The theme this year is a costume run and the cost to run in this race is $15 in advance or $25 the day of the race. Student Senate adviser Erin Gardner said, “We like to help our community whether it be at the elementary school, junior high or here at the high school. In the past we’ve helped with families around the holidays. We’ve helped students who’ve

After having already won a regional competition and thus qualifying for the World Competition in St. Louis nearing the end of April, the Swartdogs traveled to Minneapolis to participate in the Land of 10,000 Lakes Regional Competition. The Swartdogs had another very successful regional, heading into the elimination rounds as a second seed. The number
one seeded team picked the Swartdogs to be in their alliance, and with a third team, the alliance went on to win the regional. During the elimination stages, however, the alliance had to deal with several mechanical issues, but they were able to keep the robots

A large portion of the proceeds is donated to charities such as American Cancer Society, Red Cross, the Humane Society and many other community organizations. The rest is paid as commission to the students. The Company will have its products on sale this week, and customers can find Nelson or Gubbrud or anyone who is on the flyer that will be up around the school to place an order. Customers can also pay a visit to Room 272 up in the business lab to get their hands on the products. By Sports Editor Jason

#22KILL pushing for vets Suicide rates among veterans have gone up since 2007 according to Ve t e r a n s a n d p s t d . c o m . With 5,000-8,000 committing suicide after coming home from the war, that means 22 veterans are committing suicide each day. According to RAND, 20 percent of Iraq and Afghanistan veterans have post traumatic stress disorder, and over 50 percent don’t seek treatment. #22KILL is a worldwide movement created by veterans for those who are serving in the military or who have served in the military to educate everyone about current issues relating veterans and raise awareness of veterans suffering from PTSD, depression, suicide and other issues. Co-Founder of Alive&Running Troy Belmer said he hasn’t known any veterans personally that have committed suicide but does realize it happens in the Cedar Valley.
Belmer and his brother Tom and many others around the world as well as in the community are involved with the 22 push up challenge. The 22 pushup challenge is a continuing challenge throughout 22 days, you can nominate people to do 22 push ups that help bring awareness about soldiers committing suicide. “It represents the fact that 22 veterans commit suicide every single day. The push ups are just being done as a way to bring awareness to the fact that we need more programs in place to help these veterans. Especially after they’ve been deployed,” Belmer said. Belmer also said he would love to get some recognition and something going with Alive&Running to help with this generous cause. Suicide rates are higher than regular citizens, and 22KILL is bringing their mission and challenging everyone while teaching others about what goes on after returning home from war. “This challenge is different because it’s repeated for 22 days. Most challenges are just
one day, and you forget about it. This forces me to remember the cause every day,” Belmer said. Belmer shared just a few of the many veterans and others scattered around Iowa who have been involved with the 22 push up challenge: veteran Nick Rossin from Cedar Rapids, Waterloo Police Officer Spencer Gann, Dawn Peterson, Tom Belmer and veteran Done Cole from Jesup. The website www.22KILL.com posts videos of the 22 push ups people around the globe are doing, and it has a lot of background information for how to donate. “I feel our veterans need a lot more care after returning home from deployment. In many cases, these young 18 to 22-yearold men and women see and experience things we can’t even begin to imagine,” Belmer said. By Staff Writer Tehya

Check out student art at annual Hearst show
An art exhibit filled with the works of student artists from ages 5 to 18 will make its home at the Hearst Center for the Arts starting this Sunday, April 17. The exhibit, Developing Expressions: Student Art from Cedar Falls Schools, will showcase 32 pieces created by our fellow classmates. Senior Ellie Burken loves the experience of having her art at the Hearst. “The Hearst Center for the Arts is a great place where local art of Cedar Valley students is displayed and admired,” Burken said. “I’ve been involved for several years now and have loved the experience.” Senior Landry Boerhave looks forward to the masses being able to see the creativity behind each piece. “Last year was my first time having art in the Hearst Center, so this makes two years I’ve had art put up there,” Boerhave said. “I think it’s cool that the Hearst Center accepts art done by high schoolers because it allows more people to see what kind of creativity goes on at the high school.” The exhibit will feature a variety of art including ceramics, drawing, graphic design, painting, sculpture, digital photography, jewelry and design. Art teacher Emily Luensmann is grateful the Hearst Center curates this exhibit each year. “They do Cedar Falls a great service by hosting artwork from the whole district,” Luensmann said. “It’s a big undertaking to get all the artwork from every school in the district.” An artist reception will be held on the opening day of the exhibit, April 17, from 1 to 4 p.m. Even if you are not an artist, feel free to stop by and support your fellow student artists. If you can’t make it on opening day, don’t worry because the exhibit will be open to the public until May 22. Take an afternoon and visit the Hearst Center before the exhibit gets packed up and the art is returned to the artists. Who knows, you might just lay your eyes on piece by the next Picasso.

NBA playoffs showcases history making players The NBA regular season is wrapping up this week, and while the Eastern Conference playoff spots are locked up, the Western Conference still has two playoff spots up for grabs among three teams: the Houston Rockets, Utah Jazz and the Dallas Mavericks, with the Rockets on the outside looking in. Only two games are left for each team, including an extremely important matchup for the Jazz. If the Jazz lose, then that will open the door for the Rockets to sneak into the playoffs as the 8-seed, and their prize will be a seven-game series with the Golden State Warriors as the Warriors go for win number 73 to break the ’95-’96 Bulls record of 72-10. Golden State has been playing nuts all season, ever since they started out going 23-0. Everybody expected big things from this team and, boy, did they deliver. Stephen Curry has “in-the-gym range” and puts defenders on skates routinely. The Warriors are looking to try to separate themselves from the ’95-’96 Bulls team, but they know the only way to do that is to get the championship. But one team that hasn’t received the attention that it deserves this season is the San Antonio Spurs, who went 39-0 before losing its first home game of the year, which was a loss to the Warriors. They are only 6.5 games behind the Warriors for best record in the league, and the Spurs have proven themselves good enough to possibly beat the Warriors in a sevengame series, which no one else has done at any point during the year, and they are led by three future hall of famers in Manu Ginobili, Tony Parker and Tim Duncan, so the Spurs definitely have the experience and talent to make a championship run against the Warriors. Outside of the Spurs and Warriors, the Western Conference doesn’t have any “scary” teams that could do a lot of damage other than maybe the Oklahoma City Thunder or Los Angeles Clippers, who both have All-Stars like Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook for OKC and Chris Paul and Blake Griffin for the Clippers. They both have plenty of firepower to make a run against the Spurs or Warriors, and they have role players who could contribute in crucial
moments come playoff time like Paul Pierce for the Clippers, who has gained the nickname “The Truth” for his clutch performances during his career in Boston. The last two teams remaining in the Western Conference are the Portland Trail Blazers and Memphis Grizzlies, who are both glad to be in the playoffs, especially the Grizzlies who have lost 12 of their last 15 and are lucky that they locked up a playoff spot before they started losing like this. The Trail Blazers, who lost Lamarcus Aldridge to the Spurs in the offseason, still have players like Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum, so they still were good enough to make it into the playoffs, but no team in the playoffs will be an easy series, not even for the Warriors or Spurs. In the Eastern Conference, it has felt as if it is the Cleveland Cavaliers versus everybody else as Lebron James and the Cavs have been at the top of the East the entire season and were favorites to win the East since before the season even began. There are other teams that want to compete with them and have a good chance of doing so. Teams like the Toronto Raptors with Kyle Lowry leading them to a second place finish. After averaging 22 points, 6.5 assists and two steals per game, he’s been playing some of the best basketball this year. And teams like Atlanta Hawks, who had the East’s best record last year and have one of the most balanced teams in the NBA, will also want to make a run deep into the playoffs and won’t be satisfied with losing to the Cavs or somebody from the West. New superstar players are making a rise to stardom in the East, including players like Hassan Whiteside for the Heat. He’s almost averaging a whopping four blocks per game while averaging 14 points and 12 rebounds. The Heat are also led by Dwyane Wade, who is in his final season but is playing like he is in the middle of his career, and with other veterans like Joe Johnson and Luol Deng, the Heat have the perfect recipe to pull off the upset against the man who helped bring them two championships, James. Other young stars on the rise are Kemba Walker and Nicolas Batum for the Charlotte Hornets and Isaiah Thomas Jr. for the Boston Celtics, who don’t have
a single player younger than 30 years old. All three of these teams are very young and want to make a run into the playoffs this year, but the future is very very bright for both of these teams teams. And at the bottom of the East, the Pacers and Pistons are fighting for the seventh seed in the tournament. The Pistons are an extremely young team as well, and they have plenty of talent on their roster like Andre Drummond, who is putting up extraordinary numbers with 16 points and 15 rebounds per game. Other players are getting used to being in the starting role like Reggie Jackson, who came over from OKC after being the backup for All-Star PG Russell Westbrook, but he has adjusted well, averaging just under 19 points and seven assists per game. The Pacers are trying to grab the seventh seed as well, but they will need help from Detroit as Detroit will need to lose one of their final two games because the Pacers lose any tiebreak with Detroit, but facing Cleveland in the first round might not be so bad for Indiana, even though Cleveland took the season series 3-2. The Pacers have played them close in every game, and there have been over 60 lead changes in the games, and with All-Star Paul George leading them, their confidence is high, and they expect to beat the Cavs in the first round and make many upsets come these playoffs. The NBA season this year has been one to remember, from Golden State’s quest to 73 wins or the 76ers’ quest to 72 losses or the Spurs’ unbelievable 40-1 record at home, people have enjoyed watching Curry make defenders look silly and hitting three pointers all year as well as James taking it to the hoop and dunking on helpless defenders and Durant and Westbrook taking over a game where nobody can stop him. Now people get to see them do it when it matters most the playoffs. Will Golden State make history as one of the greatest teams ever, or will the Spurs, Thunder or Cavs stop them, or will it be a team that nobody expects to make a playoff run? Only time will tell.

ticipated. I am torn because I realize that some percent of teens will choose to be sexually active no matter what they have or haven’t been taught when it comes to sex education. Many of those teens won’t use protection. I do not take this fact of life lightly. This is one reason why I am definitely an advocate for educating teens on a whole array of topics that relate to human sexuality, including contraceptives. You specifically used the term protection in your question. This could refer to a variety of different contraception options; however, my assumption is you are referring to condoms. Right? The majority of teens in our school district will likely first learn about condoms (and other birth control options) during health class their sophomore year. I’m not sure handing out free protection (condoms) at this time is the best option. I recognize that many teens will choose to be sexually active regardless of whether they are given free condoms or not, but I still think it’s reasonable for teens to have to seek out their own birth control. That being said, teens need to know where they can
go to get reliable and affordable protection. I personally like the idea of the school health office making condoms available for students as long as they’ve been educated about the risks of being sexually active as well as how to properly use condoms and other forms of birth control. I think this could encourage students to open up to the school nurse or health assistant with questions or concerns they have regarding sexual activity and contraception options. Student: Can you still get pregnant from unprotected sex if he doesn’t ejaculate inside of you? Hand: The short answer is yes. There are so many things I want to say here. Where to begin?

Mentor Kenton Swartley is very happy with how the team is looking before the World Competition. “The competition in Minnesota went very well,” Swartley said. “We may try a few small changes before Worlds, but not any real significant changes.”

In last week’s edition of the Tiger Hi-Line, we introduced a new segment in which biology teacher Marcey Hand would be answering a few questions on the topic of sexual education. Here is a look at a few of the questions received.
Biology teacher answers student questions regarding sexual education
Student: My period has skipped last month, but I got two in February ... is that common to happen? Hand: It is common for women to have irregular periods. There are several factors that affect a woman’s cycle. For one, you can be genetically predisposed to this. For example, if your mom isn’t a “regular cycle girl,” it’s more likely that you won’t be either. Another cause of irregularity could be related to your exercise routine. If you have been working out a lot, you may drop your percent body fat composition enough to cause you to not have a menstrual cycle for a month or even several months at a time. Stress can also cause this to happen. Obviously if you are sexually active, then pregnancy is a consideration for why you missed your period. If this irregularity isn’t a typical thing for you, I would recommend mentioning this to your family doctor and going from there.

will probably be similar to the playoff matches at most of the other regionals.” Cheng said he is happy with the way things are wrapping up with Team 525. “I think it’s a pretty good way to end a high school career,” Cheng said. “Two regional wins, a Chairman’s Award and a chance to have more success at Worlds in two weeks. Even so, as it stands, it’s been a pretty good season.” By Editor-in-Chief Zuhayr

First of all, is it reasonable to expect a guy to pull out in time? Wow! I’m sure you get what I am trying to say here. That takes a lot of self-control. I understand you may be in a relationship with someone you trust, and they can truly be committed to trying to prevent ejaculating inside of you, but let’s just say there are better options out there. It is very common for guys to release some pre-ejaculate (often referred to as pre-cum) prior to full ejaculation. This means that there could be sperm entering your body and capable of fertilization. The withdrawal method, as it’s called, can be as low as only 78 percent effective at preventing pregnancy. If you are going to have sex I would recommend more reli-

able forms of birth control. Student: Should I use protection during oral sex? Hand: STIs are real and not all of them are curable. So, yes, using protection during oral sex would be in the best interest of your health (and that of your partner). The male condom is one option that most of us are aware of as a barrier method for any type of sex. There is also a barrier known as the dental dam (weird name, I know) that can be placed on the outside of a female (typically) to provide a layer of protection as well. Know that neither of these methods are 100 percent effective at preventing the spread of STIs, but they are better options than not trying at all.

Women runners racing for slots at Drake, State With three outdoor meets as well some indoor meets behind them, the sprinters, hurdlers, mid-distance and distance runners on the women’s track team are off to a strong start as they aim for slots at Drake at the end of April and State in May. “Overall we are starting our season out strong,” senior Larissa Haan said. “Our relays have been getting good times in order to qualify for Drake. We are already looking better at this time in the season compared to where we were at last year at this time.” “We have hard competition this year,” senior Kate Moody said, “but it just makes us run even harder so, I think we will do well. Drake is such a huge meet not only for high school but college and pro athletes with a lot of good competition. The experience is definitely unforgettable.” The women are working on mechanics and their speed to
try and drop times. “It is exciting to see our times right now are already faster than what we were at conference last year,” Moody said. “I think we have improved so much already, and we can only get better from here. We have the speed. We just need to work on the mechanics (hands offs/blocks) and our times will drop. State will be here before we know it, and we need to keep working hard and pushing each other to reach our goals and perform well at State.” The hurdlers have also been working hard this season and plan to improve their form and speed these next couple months. “The beginning of the year is always a little rocky when starting things off, but we work our way into a groove where we are more comfortable,” junior Sammie Alexander said. “I think this season will turn out well, but we are going to have to work really hard to get our
times down a little. We need to work on combining speed and good form because that will really help us drop some time. I think we are really good on focusing on what goals we have and what needs to be done, and I’m excited to see where we go this season.” The mid-distance and distance runners continue to improve and are doing well this season. “We are doing really well so far,” senior Madison Hall said. “We have been working hard on our tough days and we know how to push each other. We have all been running decent times for right now, and especially knowing that we are in the middle of the season and we are running on dead legs. We aren’t backing off on our lifting or workouts so I’m excited for when we start to rest for our big meets at the end of the season. I have a good feeling about it all.” Though they are sore and
may want a break, the women continue to push to be where they want to be for the Drake and state meets. A lot of the swimmers joined track this year, helping the team complete faster times and grow as a team. “A majority of the swim girls joined distance this year, which had an intense effect, bringing encouragement as well as fast times. It’s nice having so many teammates to help us get better,” sophomore Madison Larsen said. “[Distance coach] Don [Williams] always helps me relax and feel confident before races. He always encourages us to push our teammates during races. We really want to run 4/800 at Drake this year. We have a good chance at making it to State in that again. A few of the girls and I are working to bring down 1500 and 3000 times hoping to qualify for State.” By Staff Writer Noah

Men’s tennis facing early season foe: sickness After an 0-4 start to the season, the men’s tennis team is looking to rebound in a big way in the coming weeks to reach their lofty goals for the end of the season. However, the team’s slow start can largely be blamed to a number of key players falling sick in past weeks. Head Coach Brian Suiter said that, despite the slow start, the ultimate goal is winning State. “Every season our ultimate goal is to win team State, but we also like to set realistic goals along the way,” Suiter said. “We have a tough district tournament, but also have the players to give us a good opportunity to win the tournament and the district outright. With an expanded state field of eight teams this year, we have a good chance of qualifying for State this year as well.” Senior Johns Hopkins commit Vineel Mallavarapu thinks that the team’s early record is not reflective of its performance. “I feel that the season is going well, but I feel that we as a team have much more potential than our results so far have shown,” Mallavarapu said. “Everyone is continuing to work on their weakness in practice and are pushing each other on the court, and I feel like we will improve over the course of the season.” With so many familiar faces
In their first home stand on Thursday, April 7, the men’s tennis team dropped a contest vs. Cedar Rapids Washington, but despite that setback, seniors Vineel Mallavarapu (top) and Mitch Dekutoski (left) remain optimistic.
on the court, the coaching staff was able to change how the team prepared for this season. “With so many returning players, we could focus in earlier on the areas that needed work and we had a much more straightforward process of deciding who was going to play doubles together,” Suiter said, “so those decisions were a little bit easier this year.”
Ashley Brimacomb and Vanessa Kime Photos Mallavarapu is looking to improve on his previous performances at State. “Individually, I feel that I am playing well. Despite a close loss to a good Ames player in our first meet, I feel that I have played consistently well in my other matches. I have improved several aspects of my game, and I think that if I stay focused throughout this sea-
son, I feel that I have a good shot at winning State,” Mallavarapu said. “I have been playing USTA tournaments all year round, and the competition level is very high, and that prepares me well for high school season. I’ve basically been playing consistently throughout the year, and I think this year I have really worked with my mental maturity on court, and I feel that this will help solidify the consistency of my game.” Mallavarapu said that his changing role on the team over the years is very interesting. “In a way, it’s kind of strange seeing the transformation of my role on the team throughout the years. As a freshman I was at the end of the lineup, and now I am leading the team off at the top position. But also, I feel that this season will be memorable, and most of the guys on the lineup are seniors as well, and we feel a sense of unity in that it is our last season, so we have to step up and show what we have learned throughout the past years of high school tennis,” Mallavarapu said. “It’s a sad to think it’s close to the end of my high school career, but as I look back, I have really enjoyed all my experiences through the Cedar Falls Men’s tennis program.” By Editor-in-Chief Zuhayr
