Holocaust class added to Silverton High School
By Adrienne Wilson
The Holocaust isn’t as easy to explain as it seems.
“There are a million reasons why it happened and why it wasn’t stopped sooner,” Silverton High Junior Shiree Hessel said.
This year, the Holocaust class was added to Silverton High School.
“The class made me appreciate life a lot more.” Hessel said.
The class was created by SHS English teacher Brad Emmert who was inspired by Professor Paul Kopperman, who teaches a Holocaust class at Oregon State University.
When Emmert put the class together, he wanted to approach it as “an issue of human rights.”
The class is designed to “push students to do what’s ethically and morally right,” Emmert said.
While the class was designed by Emmert, it is taught by SHS history/ psychology teacher Brett Davisson, who has learned a lot about the Holocaust himself since he started teaching the class.
One of the biggest challenges with teaching the class Davisson says is “deciding what to use and what not to use.”
“This is a serious subject, but I don’t want them walking out of my room everyday feeling there is no hope in the world,” Davisson said.
In a regular history class, the Holocaust is lightly touched due to time.
“The Holocaust class goes into a depth I have never gone into before,” SHS Junior Derek Bright said.
The class places emphasis on the History of Anti-Semitism, Hitler and the Third Reich, discrimination against the Jews, the camps, and where America was during the Holocaust. Students also read the books “Ordinary Men” by Christopher Browning, “Maus I” and “Maus II” by Art Spiegelman.
“I now have a more lean background on how the Holocaust happened and how it is possible for the Holocaust to happen,” SHS Senior Devan Merrifield said.
Five out of five students interviewed for this story would recommend the class to their peers, describing it as “amazing.”
Although it’s taught by Davission, sometimes Emmert visits during his prep period to add to the discussion.
“It’s fun as a teacher to help student see the complexity of the historical events,” Davisson said.
At the end of the semester, students were visited by Holocaust survivors Rudi and Laureen Nussbaum.
“They made us realize life is a gift and you should always have hope no matter what’s happening,” Hessel says.
The class is highly requested by students.
“It makes one really stand back and reevaluate ones life and what ones doing with it,” SHS senior Juliana Kuenzi said.

RIE inspires students to do their work
By Amanda MadduxSilverton High School sophomore Izaak Tobin missed some days of school due to wrestling tournaments.
Since he didn’t turn in assignments, he was sent to RIE or Remediation, Intervention or Extension.
“I like RIE a lot because you get to catch-up on the work you missed. I wouldn’t change anything about it because it’s the best it could be,” Tobin said.
Thursdays at Silverton High School are designated as RIE days - to help students who are behind in their work or need some assistance understanding material. Students also can use the time for extension projects such as choir, FBLA, band or ASB meetings.
RIE is about 70 minutes each Thursday, but students do not miss any classes. Instead, their classes are shorter and there is no Advisory Group.
History teacher Craig Rankin likes having RIE.
“It’s better than staying after school on Early Release days,” Rankin said. “Whether kids like it or not, they know it helps them.”
Every Monday, teachers submit a list of students they want to see during RIE or have assigned to study hall to work on missing assignments.
Ceramics teacher Banyon Boyd said RIE provides him the opportunity to “work with a smaller amount of kids one-on-one.”
Boyd has noticed his Advisory Group students’ grades are improving and “their missing assignments are going down.”
Sophomore Rochelle Schmidt hasn’t been requested to see a teacher but she finds the time useful.
She recently used RIE time to practice with the school’s band for an upcoming competition. She also uses the time to finish homework.
This will also be a time when students make appointments to begin work on college/ career exploration with members of the counseling staff. The school intends to run SAT/ACT preparation courses as well as schedule college visits.
Realizing students need an incentive to get their work done, the school’s staff has stated students with a 3.0 or higher grade point average, no missing assignments and are on track to pass OAKS and graduation, are not required to stay for the RIE time.
“Sometimes teachers don’t put your assignments in the computer so you have to stay,” sophomore McKenna Clark said, “Other than that I think it is a good concept, and the extra help to classes is useful.”

Elizabeth Leslie travels to Washington, D.C.
By Erin Kelley
Assistant Editor
Silverton High School senior Elizabeth Leslie's strong interest in government and politics began when she watched the television show The West Wing for the first time.
Since then, Leslie has become much more involved with government, and will be attending two prestigious programs in Washington D.C. in the coming months.
First, Leslie will be attending the National Council for International Visitors Citizen Diplomacy Program for Emerging Leaders in February. Leslie was one of 12 people chosen, ages 16-25, to attend NCIV's annual conference, and to make a video aimed at getting young people involved in diplomacy. While there, Leslie will also attend lectures on different forms of leadership, along with filming and editing the video.
Following that, Leslie will again visit Washington D.C. in March for the United States Senate Youth Program. Leslie was one of the two students chosen from Oregon to attend the program, which aims to educate students in politics. The group will visit museums, attend lectures with a Supreme Court and different Senators/Representatives, tour the White House and the Pentagon, have a brief meeting with the President, and attend a banquet with all the United States Senators.
“I hope that this trip will make me even more concreted in my belief that this is really the direction I want to be traveling,” Leslie said.
Leslie is planning on either attending American University or McDaniel College in the fall, and plans to double major in political science and history. She aims to attend law school after college, with a career in policymaking and legislation or in the legal justice system.
“My favorite thing though, is when our government is able to set aside differences and really dive into issues and find the best solution for everybody, politics aside,” Leslie said.

Baker chosen as Future First Citizen
By Elizabeth Rueda
Reporter
The Silverton Chamber of Commerce recognized Silverton High School senior J’Nyssa Baker for her outstanding contributions to the local community. We recently interviewed Baker to hear her thoughts on how it feels to be honored as Silverton’s Future First Citizen.
What does it mean to be Silverton’s Future First Citizen?
“I guess it means that I’ve shown that I’m dedicated to this community and that people here recognized that.”
How does it feel to be selected as Silverton’s Future First Citizen?
“It’s definitely an honor and it’s really surprising. There were other really qualified students...Choosing one isn’t proving that one is better than the other. I prefer to think that I’m representing them all.”
What do you get for being Silverton’s Future First Citizen?
“I get to stay at the Oregon Gardens Resort for one night and I get honored at a banquet. I also get a $300 scholarship.”
What are your plans after high school?
My plans after high school are to attend college and figure out what I want to do with my life- University of Puget Sounds- I plan to travel hopefully....Everywhere."
What were your friends and families reaction to you being Future First Citizen?
"It’s mostly been “We’re so proud of you” and “Congratulations!”Also “That’s so cool” and “what do you get for it?”
What do you think the judges are looking for in a Future First Citizen?
“Community Service. They are looking to see if you have been involved in community service and what impact you’ve made. They also want to know what the impact of community service has had on you.”
What advice would you give to anyone who aspires to be Silverton’s next Future First Citizen?
“Just to get involved. It’s the biggest thing. Don’t be afraid to be involved. It’s not about us, it’s about helping the community and that’s something that is super important to realize.”

The Frothy Fox
By Erin Kelley
Assistant Editor
While many people at Silverton High School have come to appreciate having a coffee shop in the school, not many know about the work that goes on behind the scenes.
The Frothy Fox, which serves teachers and students, is run by the Structured Learning Program staff and students. Drinks found at your favorite coffee shop are offered at the Frothy Fox, although the staff is open to suggestions. Limited available space decides how much the shop is able to offer. The most popular items bought are hot Chai, hot mochas, and flavored ice tea. Every day, the shop serves about 160 people or 800 people a week or 3,200 people a month.
The students and staff also benefit from running the Frothy Fox.
“People look at these drinks as a pick me up, so it feels good to contribute to their day in a positive way,” Lisa Krouze, an SLP staff member, commented. Although the number of students helping the Frothy Fox varies, there are usually around 10 students work on rotating schedules. Students are usually sophomores, juniors, and seniors in the Structured Learning Program. In the program, students have the opportunity to learn life skills that they'll be able to use later in life. They're able to gain work experience in customer service, making change, preparing menu items, dependability, socialization, and having a good work ethic. In addition to the students, volunteers also help out at the shop. “We have two terrific adult volunteers, Barb Dahlum and Carole Miller,” Sandra Chaney, an SLP assistant, said.
While students are gaining these skills, the shop is also getting a chance to make a difference. Some of the money made by the Frothy Fox is donated, given to help the food drive, the Tree of Giving, and needy families in the area. The rest of the money made is used for scholarships and SLP field trips. This spring, students from the program will be taking a field trip to the Salem Ropes using their profits from this year.
“The community needs to know that several visitors stepping into the school are very surprised and complimentary that we have such a state of the art coffee shop serving the kids and staff,” Krouze said.

First Time Voters
By Erin Kelley
Assistant Editor
Senior Casey Dettwyler, who has turned 18 years old and is already registered, is planning on voting in this year’s election.
“It’s pretty important to be able to vote. I’ve always dreamed of being able to vote, to step up to help our country,” Dettwyler said.
Turning 18 years old is a milestone in a senior's life, moving from childhood to adulthood. One of the biggest privileges that comes with becoming an adult is having the opportunity to vote. Oregon’s election is right around the corner, Nov. 2. To be able to vote, students must turn 18 years old by the day of the election, and must be a registered voter.
To register, students must fill out a voter registration card, available at the county election office, the DMV, the post office, and other state agencies. The last day for new voters to register is Oct. 12. Students can register when they turn 17 years old, and aren’t required to be 18 years old by the registration deadline. After registering, students won’t get their ballots until after they turn 18 years old.
Senior Anny Ilisoi, who turns 18 years old in October, is planning on voting come November.
“I’m going to look at the candidates’ views, and I’ll choose the one that most closely matches mine,” Ilisoi said.
Dettwyler also plans on researching the candidates to determine their qualifications before she votes.
“I’ll vote similarly to my parents, not because they vote like that, but because I believe the same things,” Dettwyler said.

Varsity Soccer Girls on the Roll
By Trevor Finch
Sports Editor
Sierra Brusven wants vengeance. She’s not alone.
A member of the Lady Foxes soccer team, Brusven has already begun strategizing how to knock off the Woodburn Bulldogs, which kept Silverton out of the playoff contention last season.
The girls’ look to keep their season rolling after a great start of 5-1-1, with all five wins coming by way of shutout. If the team records one more scoreless game, they will break the current record of five shutouts.
This year, the Lady Foxes are coached by second year Coach Fred George, and they are lead by team captains Sierra Brusven, Josie Brown, and Sarah Burk all of which are seniors.
A year ago, the Woodburn Bulldogs and Silverton Lady Foxes squared off in an epic game to go on to the 5A OSAA state playoffs, the game ended with a shootout which put Woodburn on top. This year, the girls look to show Woodburn what they’re made of as they are now older and more experienced and seem to be up to the challenge.
The game will be held at Woodburn High School at 4:30p.m. Tuesday Oct. 5 . This game is also their season opener for the Mid-Willamette Valley Conference.
The team is extremely close this year having grown up with each other; most of the girls have played together since they were ten years old. “We all really love each other; we’re like a family,” Sierra Brusven said.
The girls were predicted to end up fourth in league but on their current pace they could end up in the top three. So far they have only lost one game, which was to 6A Grant High School who went deep into the 6A state playoffs.
So, next Tuesday drive the fifteen minutes north to Woodburn and cheer on our Lady Foxes as they prove themselves ready for the up coming season.
