GETTING TO KNOW YOU

Age/Birthday: 26; November 26, 1986

Favorite color: Blue or Pink, depending on my mood

Favorite Food/Des-sert: Sautéed Cala-mari with Linguini, Pumpkin Pie

Why did you want to be a teacher: I remember deciding I wanted to be a teacher when I was still pretty young. My 4th grade Greek Mytholo-gy teacher with basically the coolest person ever, and I knew I wanted to have a job just like hers. Being a teacher, every day brings some-thing unexpected, and I love that.

Where was your �rst kiss: On a farm somewhere in Australia. I was fourteen and on a youth travel program.

Most embarrassing Moment: My life is basically one big embarrassing moment. I’ve gotten used to it. I remember in college sending an email “reply all” to a very large group of people that was de�nitely just meant for one person. I’m hoping I never make that mistake again.

Funniest memory as a teacher: Right out of college, I worked as a teaching assistant at a school outside of Boston. I was told I needed to coach mountain biking even though I had absolutely no experience. All the students were in�nitely more skilled and courageous than I was. They would do jumps over logs and stone walls, and I would have to follow them pretend-

ing to smile and act like I had some clue what I was doing. There were a lot of cuts, bruises and tears the �rst couple of weeks. By the end I was having a blast, and it was an awesome bonding experience with my students.

10/8/13 First Edition

Age/Birthday: 18, November 14, 1994.

Favorite color: Blue

What food would you want if you were stuck on a deserted island: I would want Hawaiian pizza.

What was your biggest achievement: Beating the swimming record at my old school.

Favorite school subject: I love history because I like learning from the past.

If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you want to go: I want to go to Australia because it seems really cool and di�erent. It seems really interesting.

HOWLS FROM AROUND THE WORLD

Got Compromise?

“The shutdown will have a very real impact on real people right away,” stated President Barack Obama. “Children, seniors, and woman would be hamstrung if the government were to shut down.”

President Barack Obama made plans on what the guidelines would be before the shutdown.

Federal WorkersHundreds of thousands of workers will be furloughed, including most employees of the Environmental Protection Agency and Futures Trading Commis-sion, according to the agencies themselves.

TravelTwenty to thirty thousand visas went unprocessed each of the twen-ty-seven days the government was halted in the mid-90s, according to the congressional research service. In the end, two hundred thousand U.S. applications went unprocessed, causing million of dollars in losses for U.S. tourism industries and airlines, according to the report.

RecreationMajor museums and national parks will be temporarily closing, including the Smithsonian and the National Zoo in Washington. Historical monuments and visitor centers will also be closed, implying that 70,000 employees will be laid o�. These include the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island in New York, Independence Hall in Philadelphia, Alcatraz Island near San Francisco,

and the Washington Monument in D.C.

Head Start The Head Start Program is the government solution for children with low-income families to receive an education, health, nutrition, and parent involvement services to make sure they stay emotionally stable and have healthy relationship with their parents. A small propor-tion of people (20 out of 1,600 nationally) in

the program will instantly see the a�ects of the shut-down. Food Safety The food and drug admin-istration will suspend most routine safety inspections.

Science “NASA will be shut down almost entirely,” the Presi-dent said.

NASA has been halted before, last time during the government shutdown in 1995 and 1996. Since the National Weather Service and National Hurricane Center will continue to operate, the public can continue to enjoy those services. No essential services will be shut down that could pose a great threat.

Work Safety Health inspectors and job safety inspectors will stop workplace inspections except for incident of imminent danger.

A survey was created to evaluate the knowl-edge and opinions of the Hyde community regarding the government shutdown. Several students and faculty chose to respond either

providing their names or anonymously. What resource did you use to �nd out about the Government Shutdown?Social Media 28.57% News 57.14% TV 35.71% Friends 35.71% Total Respondents: 14

Does the government shutdown bring any speci�c emotion out of you?

• Quite frankly it inspires mixed emo-tion. I am unhappy that the House and Senate are unable to sit at the bargaining table and make some concessions. At the same time, I think our government is com-pletely out of control with regard to spend-ing. This goes for both parties and need to change. I think the A�ordable Care Act is extremely disorganized and will lead to the disintegration of quality care for most Ameri-cans. It is also a tax for most Americans. Let's change the system but let's be intelligent about it. It may be bittersweet but I am glad the government is shut down.• Concern• Apathy• Reinforced low expectations• Not directly but depending on the duration it could have minor impact on the economy. We should be more concerned about whether or not the debt ceiling is raised next month. That could cause a global economic crisis. This shutdown is just the warm up to a bigger battle. Whichever party pulls out of this with the most clout will control the debate over future negotiations regarding sequestration and raising the debt ceiling. (Mr. Welch)• Non-salary employees of museums and national parks will not have money to put into our economy, directly putting

everyone further into recession and debt. How do you think the government shutdown will a�ect you?• I wont be able to watch my favorite service academy teams play this weekend.• It probably will not, unless it cuts my schools funding.• Government facilities, parks, etc. closing Do you feel that the government shutdown will a�ect you and/or your family?• Hopefully these politicians will cut spending and then I believe any hard work-ing family will be in better shape than we are now.• In the long run, it will reflect in a loss of credibility both locally and globally. Some-day my children will read in the history books about the short-lived and unstable platform these politicians have been standing on. IT will ultimately be a good lesson in how freedom and capitalism still need to be tamed in order for society to prosper.• No, I know that this is more of an immature government dispute. What do you believe the main cause of the government shutdown was?• The government was shut down because Democrats are totally unwilling to compromise on the details of the A�ordable Care Act. Americans from all walks of life have expressed deep concern about his new tax. This is the biggest piece of legislation since Social Security, which means it is a big deal. The fact that it has been driven through so quickly says to me that we have a group of jittery, ideologues who are hastily tying this disorganized bill up in a bow so that they won't have to face possible opposition. That is shady and ignorant. James P. Ho�a, the general President of the International Broth-

If James P. Ho�a has a problem with the A�ordable Care Act, democrats ought to listen.• Actually, the fact that somehow the Tea Party Republicans have convinced moderate Republicans that if they behave or vote moder-ately, they will not be re-elected.

STARS OF THE WEEK

Kevin Wang is nominated for his leadership on the JV Football squad, as well as his recent promotion to team captain. He was also nominated for his diligence on the wing, especially when he steps up to do dorm jobs that are not completed.

I’d like to nominate Angie Guidera-de Groot as a star of the week. She’s been step-ping up her game on the wing, working hard to keep her room clean and helping to hold wing standards. I’ve been impressed both by her maturity and her e�ort to support what we are going after in the dorm this year.

I’d like to nominate Steve Hu for his hard work in the International Student FLC. He was awesome! He spoke up, helped his peers and worked diligently. He showed a whole di�erent side of himself and displayed amazing growth from last year.

Thomas Nixon is a star for his e�ort on crew. He begins setting up dish room before he even eats. He is consistently working throughout the meal and doesn’t compro-mise his work ethic based on others. He leads by example, is very helpful, and our soccer team’s crew would run much slower without him.

Jaime Zins is nominated for her display of concern in her Discovery Group. She is a great example for others in the group and helps by both challenging and showing care for her peers.

What do a new pair of shoes mean to you? Maybe a fun treat for yourself, something cool that you get to show o� to others, and all in all, it's just a little extra something that would make you feel good about yourself. Jacob Rice, a senior here at Hyde, believed that everyone should have this simple pleasure of a pair of new shoes, and actually started a non-pro�t organization to provide underprivileged kids with a new pair of shoes. He began a non-prof-it called Shoe Giver of Tampa at age 10. Since then, he has distributed over 1,500 pairs of shoes, over 800 pairs locally and 700 pairs all over the world. When asked about what it was that really motivated him to start up this organization, he replied, “Well, as a 10-year-old, I didn’t really see anything other than my immediate community, and what I’m normally exposed to. I really wanted to do something to help out the community so I got out to local community centers to learn about what was really going on. When I asked what the kids really needed, the answer was shoes.” So, from there, Jacob began calling shoe companies to see if they would help his cause. This seems like such a big commitment for a mere ten-year-old to take on and most people might think, “Wow, I could never do that”. When asked what guidance he would give to others with big dreams but small aspirations, Jacob replied, “I would say, persistence, you know? At 10 years old I was calling companies like Nike, Adidas, and Reebok, and I was not getting responses. But, I persisted, and kept calling. Now I’m at the point where I have access to a warehouse of shoes and at any point, if I found someone in need of a pair of shoes, I could get a pair to them in under 3 days.” Jacob’s achievements have had big impacts on kids all over the country and internationally as well. He’s been featured in

the Hu�ngton post as one of “The 25 Most Impressive Kids Graduating From High School This Year.” He’s also been recognized by Read-ers Digest, ABC Action News Story, and he has been interviewed on CNN among many other achievements and appearances on nationally viewed sources. Starting up this organization has obviously impacted the lives of many, but it has in�uenced Jacob’s life as well. He said, “It has impacted me in so many ways, to start I’d say it has impacted me in that I see what’s really going on in this country and that there are many who aren’t nearly as fortunate as myself, my peers, and many people around me.” Jacob will continue to work with Shoe Giver of Tampa as he continues his education at University of Southern California next fall.

Janicha "Cha-Cha" Diaz is the Howler's choice for Athlete of the Week. She is our selection because of her tenacity, aggressiveness, and heart that she shows on the soccer �eld. She pulled her team together and secured the �rst win for women's Varsity soccer in a few years by netting a hat-trick against St. Thomas Moore.

" I didn't even know of this "hat-trick". I was confused of what it meant at �rst, but I felt good 'bout it." -Cha-Cha

Good job, and stay classy Woodstock.
