Three-Peat for the KHS Cagers at WCT

January 19, 2016

By: Logan Hightower/ss On January 7-9th at the Chisholm High School, the Kingfisher Yellow Jackets won the Wheat Capital Tournament for their 3rd time in a row.

They beat the Alva Goldbugs 66-51. The Jackets shot 13 3’pointers from beyond the arc. Over the span of three years, Coach Reece, the boy’s head basketball coach, hasn’t lost a game at the Wheat Capital tournament.

This also boosted the Jacket Boys record to a Photo by Sam Walter whooping 7-2 overall with their 6 game winning streak.

Jett Sternberger (freshman), Mason Overstreet (Senior), and Marco Charqueno (Junior) were the three main scorers. Mason was injured the first half after shooting a three pointer. These 3 boys scored all but five of the Jackets’ points. All 3 of these players were knocking down 3 pointers one after another to boost the Jackets’ score. Sternberger scored 15 points and Charqueno scored 27 points.

Charqueno and Overstreet joined Sternberger on the all-tournament team. The Sternbergers have been keeping the MVP of the tournament for the 3 rd year now as his older brother, Jace Sternberger (just graduated last year), has won the last 2 years, and now with Jett winning the MVP of this year’s tournament.

Voltaire?

Last week, Mr. Horn and Mrs. Owens took the KHS Pride over to Gilmour for a Friday morning Jacket Round Up performance. For KHS students who attended Gilmour, this is a familiar and nostalgic view of the cafeteria/gym.

Mrs. Sinclair departs for the stars By: Stinger Staff Kingfisher Public Schools Technical Education teacher, Mrs. Sinclair resigned her position to work with the NRAO (National Radio Astronomy Observatory), a national scientific organization.

According to the NRAO website (http://www.nrao.edu/), "The National Radio Astronomy Observatory is a facility of the National Science Foundation operated under cooperative agreement by Associated Universities, Inc. Since 1956, the NRAO has designed and operated the most advanced radio telescopes for use by scientists and students around the world."

In her new position, Mrs. Sinclair will serve as the Science Education Specialist, where she will develop curriculum for science teachers on an international scale. Sinclair will also conduct teacher and student workshops on the capabilities of the network of observatories and telescopes that the NRAO oversees. She will also be involved in the Skynet Junior Scholars (https://skynetjuniorscholars.org/), a national organization which promotes astronomy education and provides virtual access to telescopes and astronomers around the country.

Sinclair's assignment will be at the Green Bank Telescope in West Virginia. According to the NRAO, "The Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Radio Telescope (GBT) focuses 2.3 acres of radio light. It is 485ft tall, nearly as tall as the nearby mountains and much taller than pine trees in the national forest. The telescope is in a valley of the Allegheny mountains to shield the observations from radio interference."

Mrs. Sinclair moved to Kingfisher with her family in 2007 and served as a Kindergarten substitute, 4th grade teacher and middle school science teacher, before taking the initiative to obtain her certification as a Technical Education Instructor. Once certified, Sinclair took over the position as KPS Tech Education Instructor when Mr. David Pounds retired in 2012. Of her time as Tech Ed instructor for KPS, Sinclair stated she is most proud of the resurgence of the KHS Robotics Team as well as attending the National Technology Student Associations Conference in Dallas with KHS TSA students.

"I will miss my students very much but I fully expect them to continue to develop their technology skills after I leave," stated Sinclair. A replacement for Sinclair has already been hired by the KPS Administration to take over the Technical Education program.

Ms. Hobza’s New Kitchen By: Lisa Baxter/ss Ms. Hobza got new appliances at the beginning of this semester. She has been trying to get them since last year and I am very happy that she was able to get them this year after almost four years of having those old appliances!

The new appliances consist of six stainless steel commercial kitchen sinks, a new garbage disposals badge 900, a GE French Door Refrigerator with a pull out freezer drawer, an Electrolux Freezlerless Refrigerator, a Whirlpool Add Series Dishwasher, a Whirlpool Duet Washer and Dryer set with steam settings, two red Kitchen Aid Artisan series stand mixers with special attachments, a GE double gas oven without a convection oven, a GE Double electric oven with a convection oven.

Ms. Hobza cheered, “That means we now have 4 ovens!

Yay!” She got a $15,000 technology grant from the State of Oklahoma Lottery Fund. The State of Oklahoma CTE Dept. awards technology grants once a year funded by the Oklahoma Lottery Fund.

The grants are very competitive and require a detailed online application that includes a detailed budget proposal for how and where the money is to be spent. Mrs. Hobza applied for the grant last spring and was informed in August that she was a grant recipient for the $15,000 to remodel the FACS room kitchen into her idea of a FACS cave. It’s planned to be done in red, black, and chrome garage which now serves as a gender neutral room to better serve the students at KHS. Gone are the days of “Becky Home Ecky” with just girls cooking and sewing. Yay! (See more pics on page 4 of this edition of The Stinger).

A Tribute to David Bowie Opinion by: Clairanda Porter/ss As you may well know, David Bowie, the pop music legend, passed away on Sunday the 10th after battling cancer for 18-months.

He aged 69 years, leaving the world speechless with his last album hinging to death with its lyrics and compelling sound. Fans and admirers where shocked to hear that this time the death was real, because of previous Internet hoaxes. ‘ The Internet was the first to know about his death.

On official social media accounts it was stated, “Davis Bowie died peacefully today surrounded by his family....” Duncan Jones, David’s son tweeted, “Very sorry and sad to say it’s true. I’ll be offline for a while. Love to all.”

David Bowie’s death is hard to accept for many, mainly because he impacted the world with such a force of life.

Many have looked to his last music video, “Lazarus,” to see that his final works was a performance all around his death. David Bowie was an entertainer until his last breath, bringing thousands of humans to speculate the wonders of his mind.

He will forever be imprinted in our sociality as a legend of sci-fi beauty, and a provider of exquisite music.

Insights to Coach McDonald Soccer: Off-Season Opinion by: Alma Padilla On October16 of some year Bobbie and Kenny McDonald were blessed with the birth of their son, Kent McDonald or as he is known around here Coach McDonald.

Coach McDonald grew up in the town of Guthrie and went to Northwestern Oklahoma State for college. His favorite color is green and his hobbies are working out. Kent has one brother.

Soccer and football are the two sports that he coaches here. F.Y.I coach is really good at making the soccer teams conditioning drills fun. His positive attitude is what motivates us the most.

When asked why he started coaching here he answered with “I love the community and being a Yellow Jacket.”

He also said he loved it here and plans to stay forever.

Pharmacists: Larry Adams & Nancy Moyeda

By: Logan Hightower/ls Soccer has started for the Kingfisher Yellow Jackets, and most of the boys and girls are taking a beating from the work that Coach McDonald has been making them do! With doing core workouts, running at least a mile a day, and doing various stair drills, the girls and guys are taking it pretty hard.

The boys and girls are just getting started with conditioning.

They haven’t even touched a soccer ball, but Couch McDonald puts them to work. There are about 20 boys on the off-season team, as the girls have around 30.

During the week, the boys and girls condition. On Fridays, they will participate in Yoga. This stretches them out and helps with all the soreness that they have. Mondays are one of the hardest days for the players, as they do the hardest workoutof the week. It gets progressively easier as the week goes by. Once it gets to Thursday, the boys and girls are exhausted.

As the Kingfisher teams have moved to a different district, there is a good chance for the Yellow Jackets to have a great season. Come and support the Kingfisher Yellow Jackets once the season starts!

He wrote songs of everything in his 25 album career, songs that reach me in any state that I’m in. In doing so, in listening to his music for such a vast amount of time, I have vivid memories attached to some. One in specific being the endless car trips during the holidays.

It’s a blur of time, listening to his albums. He was this enigmatic chameleon of a character, shaping his appearance and stage personality to fit the music he was creating at the time.

It took a strangely long time for the words to fit together in my head into a cohesive sentence. Something stopped in me the moment everything did combine. I set down my phone, my hands were shaking.

The Golden Globes Opinion by: Andrea Jimenez/ss The 73rd annual Golden Globes was held this last Sunday, January 10th. The night was full of laughs and many surprises. Next up is the list of the five most talked about moments according to Us Weekly.

The first is Lady Gaga’s win of Best Supporting Actress for AHS: Hotel (American Horror Story: Hotel).

Wow! I didn't even know Lady Gaga was an actress. This was definitely not the Lady Gaga I remember.

Making the list at number two is The Martian. It won Best Motion Picture, Musical or, Comedy. The actor Matt Damon took home the award for Best Performance by an actor in the Musical or Comedy. Hmm, sounds like a movie worth watching.

Even though Leonardo DiCaprio has never won an Oscar, he did take home the Best Actor in a Motion Picture, Drama award. For this, he can thank his role in the movie The Revenant.

Number four on the list is actress Taraji P. Henson. Her role in the hit TV Series, Empire, got her the Best Actress in a TV Series, Drama. She celebrated by handing out cookies to her fellow stars in the audience.

Henson then barked at somebody who stepped on her very long, white gown. Oops.

Finally making the list as number five is Mozart in the Jungle. Amazon's series was a surprise hit and won the award for Best TV series, Musical or Comedy. It took wins for both the show itself and star Gael Garcia Bernal.

Powerball Mania By: Andrea Jimenez/kk Tickets, tickets being sold everywhere. To be specific, Powerball tickets. The $1.5 billion Powerball jackpot, which is by the way the LARGEST lottery prize in history, will be divided among three ways. The winning tickets were sold in three states: Chino Hills, California; Munford, Tennessee; and Melbourne Beach, Florida. The lucky yet unlucky winners became instant winners in a blink of an eye. They will however end up with a MAJOR tax bill.

The lump sum will be $187.2 million dollars and neither of the three winners will have to pay state taxes. Nor Florida or Tennessee has a state income tax and California has a law which exempts lottery winners from paying taxes. Instead the winners will be required to pay 39.6% in federal taxes or take a smaller lump sum. Oklahoma also had lucky winners of smaller yet no so small money prizes. One $1 million ticket was sold at a local Quick Tip in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Three other Oklahomans took home $50,000 a piece while four others won $100,000 a piece.

Wow, so many winners here in Oklahoma and none of them were me.

The chances of winning the record jackpot were 1 in 292 million and remember you have to be 18 to buy lottery tickets.

After School Workout Opinion by: Janelle Hawk/ss

like to stay after school to do more stuff, because I actually want to get to play this year.

Last year I never really got in the game, but this year will be better.

Sometimes we do two feet jumps or we work out on a hill top. He pushes us hard and is a really good coach. I usually never see any coaches working out with their team, but it’s great to have a coach like him.

Coach McDonald does workouts after school from 3 to 4. We usually do Ladders and then touch cones. We do stairs a lot and sometimes touch cones. He mostly does it because some kids want to get more I can’t wait to see what socwork out time in to get ready for whatcer season has in store for us this year. ever sport they’re in. For example, I

Horrifying Horror Don’t go in this Movies Room Opinion by: Lisa Baxter/ss

By: Robert Haynes/kk

As you all know horror movies have been around for a while and only a rare few have been so terrifying that you only want to watch them once.

Here are those few: VHS, The Evil Dead (original), The Human Centipede 1 through 3, The Pact, American Mary, Satan’s Little Helper, Event Horizon, Maniac, Stake land, The Cabin In the Woods, and finally The Collection.

Those are 13 terrifying horror movies that you can’t unsee because they are so absolutely disgusting and gory. I love horror movies, but The Human Centipede messed with me and I haven’t even watched it because I am so scared of what I might see in the movie.

From what I heard it sticks with you. I am ok with dealing with Saw because at least after a while you forget what happens in that, but in The Human Centipede you never forget.

That’s some scary stuff, isn’t that?

The day I ever watch that movie will be the day that I get my septum piercing, and that will never happen.

For those of you who don’t know The Room is one of the most infamous movies ever made. If you’ve seen the movie or glanced at clips on YouTube you’ll know why but I’m going to tell you about it.

The film starts with our hero, Johnny returning home from work to his fiancée Lisa. He romances her as his neighbor, Denny walks in and creepily watches them. Then Johnny's best friend, Mark starts a relationship with Lisa, who cheats on him because “Johnny’s boring.”

So basically that’s the plot in a nutshell. You might be thinking “oh that’s not so bad.” Trust me the story is far from the worst thing about this movie. Let’s start with the acting…Tommy Wiseau, who plays the main character Johnny, is also the writer/producer/ director. He just might be an alien.

Yeah I’m serious his script and acting is that bad.

Even people on reddit are convinced of this. There’s an entire sub reddit talking about this. Tommy’s dialogue is burned into the back of my mind.

Classic lines such as “what a story Mark. That’s not true. I did not hit her. I did not. You’re just a chicken cheep, cheep, cheep… yep that’s the sound chickens make.”

I’ve also got to mention the fact that the production quality is junk. The films budget was $50 million! This movie is bad, but don't take it from me. Check it out if you dare/ I give this film a 3.5/10

Another Lost Generation?

Opinion by: Michael Sutton/kk Recently I somehow found myself thinking of where our generation is going and I realized that it honestly doesn’t look very good. When I’m here at school I can look around at any point in time and see people on their phones being mindlessly entertained with the tap of a screen.

Instead of conversing with the outside world we decide that we can just use our phones…and it’s ok. Being on our phone sounds great and all and yes it passes time but it also takes away our creativity. This generation grew up in an age of technology, but the thing is, the people who came up with it were the bomb even before this technology was out.

I fear we are letting out minds focus on one game instead of trying to come up with a new one to pass the time. We are day-by-day, growing with less and less creativity. Our generation needs to get away from the drug of technology to entertain themselves. You might say that we talk with others and all, but I’ve seen it just the opposite and even when we do talk a lot of the time we’re also on our phones. I remember we either used to play paper football or just come up with a random game to play.

We would rather be on our phone then be around others. We are getting to a point of not needing other people to talk to. I think that we need to draw away from what controls us, we need to regain our social side.
