A shocking tragedy: death by art Eighteen-year-old Israel Hernandez-Llach, an award-winning artist and Colombian immigrant, died on Aug. 6 after Miami Beach police shot him in the chest with a stun gun. According to police records, the artist, locally known as “Reefa,” was spotted “tagging” the wall of a no-longer operating McDonald’s restaurant. According to an article published in The Miami Herald, Hernandez-Llach’s friends, and witnesses, Thiago Souza and Felix Fernández, said that when the police caught up to “Reefa” he was shoved against a wall and stunned in the chest with a taser gun. Fernández and Souza also reported that the two RIÀFHUV�ODXJKHG�DQG�MRNHG�DERXW�WKH�YLFWLP�ZKLOH�KH�ZDV�LQFDSDFLWDWHG�RQ�WKH�JURXQG��JRLQJ�DV�IDU�DV�H[FKDQJLQJ�KLJK�ÀYHV�ZLWK�HDFK�RWKHU�DV�KH�OD\�DW�WKHLU�feet.� -RUJH�0HUFDGR��RQH�RI�WKH�SROLFH�RIÀFHUV�LQYROYHG�LQ�WKH�LQFLGHQW��ZDV�placed on paid leave, and the case is currently under internal investigation by WKH�0LDPL�%HDFK�3ROLFH�'HSDUWPHQW���2IÀFHU�7KRPDV�/LQFROQ��2IÀFHU�&RUPL-lus Lattimore, and Sergeant Rey Aguilar are also under investigation for their roles in the death of Hernandez-Llach.� 1RW� RQO\� GR� WKH� DFWLRQV� RI� WKH� SROLFH� RIÀFHUV� UHÁHFW� EDGO\� XSRQ� WKH�Miami Beach Police Department, but tasing a teenage boy for committing what may be considered a misdemeanor is wrong.

3Opinion

I would like to believe we have reached a

point in our nation’s history that men and women

can be considered equal. More importantly, I hope

that I can uphold and advocate on behalf of the

mentality for such equality. We are all human, and

therefore able to achieve equal goals and express

ourselves in equal fashions. 99.9% of our DNA is,

in fact, synonymous.

As I heard all the buzz about Miley Cyrus’

incredibly provocative performance with Robin

Thicke at the VMAs, I was instantly intrigued. The

sight of her in a plastic bikini dancing with teddy

bears genuinely caught my attention, as it did the

entire nation’s. Immediately after watching it, I

could not help myself from judging her based on the

outward expression of sexuality.

Shortly after, I found myself slightly

disappointed with my judgements towards her.

Robin Thicke danced around the stage in a similar

fashion, partaking in her suggestive routine.

Regardless, Cyrus was taking the all the blame.

So I continue to wonder, why are we

directing our criticism towards her, when Thicke

participated equally in the stunt?

It seems as if we uphold certain standards

for what a woman should be. For some reason, her

reputation is tarnished from this performance, while

Thicke walks away nearly unscathed.

The problem goes even further. Cyrus,

20, was once seen as an idol to many. Doubling as

Hannah Montana, she had the hearts of young girls

all over the country. As soon as we see her breaking

out of that image, she immediately receives backlash

and criticism. It is as if we are trying to hold on to

the “old Miley,” even though she is venturing in a

new direction.

And here many of us stand, judging Cyrus

based on a strand of events -- two tantalizing music

videos, one shocking performance, and many

other accompanying factors. Maybe it is time

to reconsider what we expect from others, and

differentiate our criticisms from perceptions. Cyrus

may be reinstating a new identity, yet it is unfair to

denounce her simply for being a woman, especially

since Thicke was equally involved.

It must be another issue - our false beliefs

that Cyrus could maintain her innocent and angelic

reputation. Regardless, she is human, like me and

you. Her DNA is in fact a mere 0.01% different than

the rest of us.

Understanding Common App presents struggles

Going into senior year, I expected that

the stress associated with standardized testing and

college applications would be behind me and my

last year in high school would be a breeze. Instead,

,� ÀQG�P\VHOI� FRQIXVHG� DQG�ZRUU\LQJ� DERXW� ÀOOLQJ�out the Common Application on time, all the while

are not overwhelmed with schoolwork and athletic

involvement. For whatever reason, the Common

App seems intent on making the lives of students

beginning of school.

In addition to the late launch date, I

encountered the incredibly inconvenient problem

faced by the Common App of missing one of the

most crucial parts to college applications: the

individual college supplements. According to the

RIÀFLDO�ZHEVLWH�RI�WKH�&RPPRQ�$SS�WKHUH�DUH�RYHU�500 member colleges and universities, yet on August

1 a total of 0 school supplements were available for

completion. In fact, as late as August 29, only 483

college supplements were live and available for

student completion.

App, known as CA4, launched this year, I also

Unlike previous years, the CA4 Common App

denies applicants the opportunity to submit different

personal statement essays to different schools.

Although the new version streamlines the process

of applying, I feel that this particular restriction is

detrimental for those students who want to tailor

their applications depending on the type of school

they are applying to in order to help them stand out.

Due to these unexpected challenges I

have encountered with the Common App and the

poor release timing of the applications, it appears

that senior year will be the most challenging and

overwhelming one yet.

On Sept. 24, seniors were allowed to personalize

their parking spots for $10. Students showed up at

9:00am, paint brushes and cans in hand, ready to add

some a personal touch to their parking spot.

“Painting the parking blocks was a great way to get

creative and make my parking spot more personalized!”

said senior Melanie Müller.

The senior class sponsored the project. Funds

collected will be used to support a variety of school

events.

Parking Gets Personal

Popular Cookies Now Individually WrappedBY BIANCA CORGAN

Staff Writer

There were many changes throughout campus this year,

and the lunchroom was no exception. Returning students were

VXUSULVHG� WR� ÀQG� WKDW� WKH\� FRXOG� QR� ORQJHU� MXVW� ´JUDE� DQG� JRµ�when it came to Sage dining’s ever-popular cookies, leading to

confusion and speculation for some.

“I’m used to being able to just get them. They are now

wrapped so maybe there’s a new recipe,” said sophomore Ines

Noel.

Before, the cookies were placed in an open basket,

allowing students to take as many as they wanted. Now, they are

placed in plastic bags, two at a time, and kept behind the lunch

counter. Students can still request as many cookies as they want.

Some students like the change.

“I like how the cookies are placed in little bags; they

are easy to carry around for a snack later on in the day,” said

sophomore Valeria Salami.

Still, others disagree.

“I preferred the cookies from last year. This year I think

they are not as sweet,” said sophomore Marlee Glassberg.

According to Sage Dining manager Marlene Videa, the

recipe did not change, and the decision was made to place them

in bags for sanitary precautions and to reduce waste.

Some students were hesitant to have to ask for the

cookies.

“It is different having to ask for cookies, it was something

I am just not used to,” said junior Gabriella Sharp.

Even with the change, the cookies remain a favorite

lunchtime treat among students.

COMMENTARY

It is early Friday morning, right before

homeroom, and the speakers for the microphones

and the music are being set up. The student

council president prepares for the announcements

and reviews everything he has to say before

students arrive. Being president includes several

responsibilities that Juan Pino elaborates on during

his Q & A with The Raider Voice.

Q. Do you have any special ideas for this school

year?

A. For this school year, I was thinking about

having more school sponsored tournaments. For

example, like the soccer and basketball tournaments

that we had last year. I think this would help hype

up the school spirit!

Q. What are you planning to do for Spirit Week?

A. We’re still planning for Spirit Week and

haven’t decided on the days yet but I’m really

looking forward to it. I will be making a big deal

about Spirit Week. We absolutely want everyone

to be motivated to participate throughout the entire

week.

Q. What made you want to be president?

A. I have always felt like the Gulliver could use

a little more school spirit, especially my grade,

so I started thinking that maybe if I was elected

president, I could do something about it.

Q. What are the main tasks as president?

A. My main tasks as Student Council president

is Friday morning announcements when I have to

speak in front of everyone which includes telling a

good joke during these announcements, organizing

spirit week and well being awesome.

6 NewsApple unveils the new iPhone 5S and 5C

By Estefania MartinezStaff Writer

By Ravi PatelNews Editor At a time when it seemed the iPhone 5 was

at the peak of its vitality, Apple recently opened a

new chapter in its history with the introduction of

two new devices: the iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C on

September 10.

The features of the new devices are

consistent with those of its predecessor, the iPhone

5, however, it does place a heavier emphasis on

both the aesthetics and speed of the phone. The

iPhone 5S, although similar to its predecessor in

looks, is now available in gold, silver, and ‘space

10 Essential Apps for High School Students

deadlines. It can become very overwhelming

to manage all dates purely out of memory.

2

Register for an appropriate email

address, so when you contact the

schools it is age-appropriate and

mature.

Get your application in as soon as you can.

Many colleges read applications as soon as

they are submitted, and it is better to send

it before the overwhelming rush as the

deadline approaches.

Recreating old Neapolitan pizza, Stanzione

87 is bringing unique tastes of Italian cuisines to

Miami.

Only using ingredients imported from

Naples, with the exception of their homemade

mozzarella cheese, Stanzione 87 remains the only

restaurant in Miami that serves genuine Italian pizza.

The wood ovens and the imported Italian furniture

contribute to the family-style and homey ambiance

the restaurant evokes.

The restaurant, named after the owner

Franco Stanzione, inspired Stanzione’s vision for a

unique Italian pizzeria, having grown up in the food

business himself. Stanzione and his wife, Ashley

Lopez, opened the restaurant together. Stanzione

studied in New York with an Italian chef and

returned to Miami fueled by the dream of starting

his own restaurant.

“I bought this property when I was 22 hoping

to be the youngest restaurant owner in Miami,” said

Stanzione.

and Lopez in April 2013. Their goal was to create a

family-friendly restaurant environment and a menu

that speaks to the true nature of Italian cooking. The

menu features a variety of delicious wood-oven

pizzas, all cooked for only thirty seconds to a minute

at 900 degrees Fahrenheit, while following culinary

guidelines to maintain the title as authentically

“branded Neapoletana,” in addition to offering

salad, appetizer, and savory Nutella calzone options.

Walking into Aroma Espresso Bar is

somewhat of a nostalgic experience. From the

shape of the chairs to the hue from the lightbulbs,

it mimics vibe found in Israel. It should, after

all, having originated there. The espresso bar just

opened in Dadeland Mall’s new wing.

Aroma combines fresh Mediterranean food

and pastries with indescribably delicious coffee,

creating a modern, welcoming, and comforting

experience.

“I went to Israel this summer, and stopped

by Aroma quite a bit. It’s a pretty common venue

there. The food is great, the environment is inviting,

and it’s a great place to be,” said junior Brett Gilbert.

The café is known for its Iced Aroma,

a frappuccino-like sweet coffee blend which is

satisfying in every sense of the word. Impressively,

the coffee as well as the chocolate used in pastries

and desserts is imported from Israel, ensuring that

even the tastes are the same across the ocean.

“It’s a little strange that I can get iced coffee

here, and it tastes just like it does in Israel. I love

having a piece of that here,” said junior Rachel

Krieger.

Aroma recently opened in the new wing of Dadeland Mall. It is open daily from 7 A.M. to 10 P.M.

The cross country team is ready for a new season. Practicing 6 days a week, the coaches have been pushing the team to get better and better. “The coaches are really working us this year so that we will be able to get to states,” reinforces sophomore Nicole Mueller. The team has also been practicing several days at Tropical Park to get in shape for their upcoming meets. The team has also been doing different activities like yoga and working out at the school gym. “I really enjoy how we are doing different workouts this year. We’re not just running, we’re having fun,” says Carlee Snyder, who has been a Varsity runner for 3 years. With 20 other girls on the team, they are all hoping to run an amazing season.

Dark all around, with the sunrise just starting to peer over the eastern horizon, she steps onto the diving board, places her goggles on her face, and suddenly springs into the water. Gliding through the water, she practices her freestyle strokes up and down the lanes of the pool. As her muscles tire she slows to a stop, revealing that every time she enters the water she tries her best. “It is fun to do what you love and share the same experience with other people,” said sophomore Namilla Sanchez. Sanchez along with the rest of the swim team starts off their mornings at the 5:00 p.m. practices in order to prepare for their meets. Namilla explains that even though being part of the team is hard and time consuming she loves to swim because her team is very supportive and swimming allows her to have fun before and after a hard day at school. “I love to swim because it is the best sport known to man,” said senior Jonathan Chow. Jonathan has been swimming on the team for four years and states that it never gets old because you are always striving to challenge yourself. Sopho-more Megan Stoyanovich explains that she loves her team like a family, being part of the team since her freshman year. “I love to swim, and I love to go to practice because everyone is super supportive,” said Stoyanovich. As a team, they work together to excel in their favorite sport and hope to have a successful fall season. At their last meet on Sept. 21, they placed 6th out of 16 teams at the Woodson Invitational.

Varsity girls cross country team kicks off their season

Changes in the girls varsity golf program anticipate a winning season. The addition of an assistant coach, a stricter practice schedule and uniform policy will hopefully prove favor-able to the young team. Alongside head coach John Reed, will

be Coach Kelly Mulligan. Mulligan is also the head coach of the girls tennis team.

“Kelly is a amazing person that the girls love very much, she’s going to be a lot of fun,” said Reed.

Also with the changes the team’s district was changed. Schools such as Ransom, Carrollton, and Archbishop McCarthy will no longer be in this district. “We really have a chance to win tournaments now, our competi-tion will be smaller and easier,” said sophomore Michelle Rodriguez.� 2Q�7KXUVGD\�$XJXVW����WKH�JLUOV�ÀUVW�WRXUQDPHQW�ZDV�WKH�/DG\�Maverick Invitational, where they came in seventh place. On Tuesday October 3 the girls played a match against Carrollton whom they de-feated by three strokes. The girls came in second place at the Youth Fair tournament on Sept. 19. Returning team members were surprised to see a stricter uniform guideline. “We need uniforms to look like a team. Everyone will look the same and it will

be nice,” said junior Shanna ��������/HYHQWKDO��

Team practice is lengthier with the team meeting three days a week after school until 6:00 P.M. at Melreese golf and

country club. In the past, they only met once a week.

The boys’ team are hoping to secure the district and regional titles. Coach Steve Solo-mon has been working hard with

the team. “We blend this individual

sport into a team sport. Everyone helps each other with

the game mentally,” said Solomon. The practices are held at the Biltmore Hotel golf course in Coral Gables. The boys

The Raiders have started the season off strongly, with an impressive record of 4-0. The Raiders defeated the Dade Christian Crusaders 38-13 at home on Friday, Sept. 6th. The game started off with a touchdown from Gulliver’s #6 Senior Cornelius

Floyd from the 50-yard line. Though Gulliver made a few offensive mistakes leading to Dade Christian’s touchdowns, their defense was too dominant for Dade

Christian to get by. “Coming in today, the goal was to execute all our

plans. Our team was focused, well prepared and as a running back I was able to use my vision to

make plays for the team,” said freshman Robert Burns who scored a touchdown from a 10 yard run. Both quarterbacks Jawan Watson, junior, and Anthony Hasan, sophomore, had a good game with two touchdowns each. The Raider’s offense had a fumble in the 3rd quarter resulting in

13EntertainmentNOTABLE RELEASES

Back in 2010, we did not know much about King Krule, known as Zoo Kid at the time. We did know, for sure, that he had the potential to become the generation’s song bird. Take his hit “Out Getting Ribs” for instance; Krule exhibits timeless vocals while combining uncharismatic, dreamy instrumentals. After releasing his self- titled EP in November of 2011, we noticed consistency within his track production, which is important when considering that Krule is eighteen and lacks experience in the industry. Now, he’s back at it and has delivered a full length LP equally as powerful as his early work. Krule may still be an emerging artist, but his voice is reminiscent of a mature and well-established vocalist.

Daft Punk, TNGHT, Kid Cudi, Justin Vernon, Frank Ocean, John Legend, and James Blake are just a few names among the near-thirty, that collaborated on Kanye’s latest gem, Yeezus. While the album may be conceptual, it is the perfect follow-up album to his critically acclaimed My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. Experimental, innovative, and even punk-esque at times, Yeezus is lightyears ahead of hip hop. West differs from the norms of rap, creating his own open-to-interpretation, indescribable genre.

Washed Out’s latest LP; Paracosm

It does not get more self explanatory than Ernest Greene. He’s a highly accoladed producer, the man behind Washed Out, and rests at the top of the chillwave food chain. � ,Q� HDUO\� ����� WKHUH�ZDV� DQ� LQÁX[� RI� ,'0�production from, at the time, emerging artists like &KD]�%XQGLFN�RI�7RUR�\�0RL�DQG�0DWW�0RQGDQLOH�VSHFLÀFDOO\�ZLWK� KLV� VLGH� SURMHFW�'XFNWDLOV��:KLOH�many of these groups found success, only so much could be done. It was an era within alternative elec-tronic music that meant Greene would go up against the likes of powerhouses Animal Collective and Neon Indian, which were established groups within the indie-electro renessaince, while attempting to break into a genre that seemingly didn’t have any-more room. Out of nowhere Washed Out exploded across the realm of alternative music following the release in 2010 of the EP “Life of Leisure.” Un-grainy, easy going, and most importantly welcom-ing, Greene’s production kept listeners wanting more. Then, 2011 came around and the full length

debut LP “Within and Without” was everything we expected from Greene. At this point Washed Out was more than just another hype-worthy project, it became a household name. Now, it is 2013, and independent electronic dance music production has only grown more so-phisticated and edgy. With Washed Out’s latest LP Paracosm, Ernest Greene reminds us that simplic-ity and predictability can be a beautiful thing. Not anywhere near as nuance as “Within and Without,” Paracosm represents that of a fully accomplished musician; reverting from experimentation and get-ting more in touch with non-electronic based pro-duction. As always, the vocals are patent Washed 2XW��GUHDP\�DQG�PHOORZ��6SHFLÀF�WUDFNV�OLNH�,W�$OO�Feels Right and Falling Back signify how capable Ernest Greene is of creating an album where every song perfectly transitions to the next.

For the third year in a row, the Drama Department is preparing for a night of one acts on October 17 and 18 at 7pm in the Second Story Theater. The studetns will be performing four different skits: “The Lottery,” “See Rock City,” “Women and Wallace,” and “Sure Thing.” The Americana themed night features only American-written plays. “One acts are great, they’re short and fun so everyone stays interested throughout the whole thing,” says senior Luis Santos. Tickets will be sold at the door, or may be purchased in advance for $5 in room 219.

14 EntertainmentImprovisational comedy

theater spreads waves of

laughter

By camille kelleherWeb Editor

At every show, Who’s Line is it Anyway? meets Saturday Night Live and Mad TV with

sketches, music, and improvisations based on

audience suggestions. “Just the Funny” is an

improvisational and sketch comedy hole-in-the-wall

theater on Coral Way that hosts themed shows every

Friday and Saturday at 9pm. Whether it is a night

out with friends or a romantic date, “Just the Funny”

is the perfect way to spice up ordinary weekend

plans.

Improvisation is a form of theater that

depends on creating the performance in the moment;

therefore every show is unique, spontaneous and

entertaining. The performers have all been trained

on improvisational acting and techniques, exuding

an enjoyable and funny aura both on and off the

stage.

The intimate 125-person theater leaves

every attendee at risk of being clapped up on stage,

ZLWK�IDFHV�ÁXVKHG�ZLWK�HPEDUUDVVPHQW��WR�KHOS�WKH�actors perform their skits. The performers will later

comically and lightheartedly heckle at the rest of

the attendees who avoided the stage as they exit the

theater after the show.

“Ingenious, hilarious, professional,” said

Columbus High School senior David Shay. “They

are really consistently funny and it is a great way to

spend an evening.”

If attendees liked what they saw on stage

and wanted to become a part of the show, Just the

Funny offers improvisational acting and sketch

writing classes that are professionally designed,

syllabus-driven courses.

“Just the Funny” has a calendar of shows on

their website, to liven up anyone’s weekend. Ticket

prices vary with the show and can be bought prior

to the show, online or at the theater. “4-Play” will be

performed this Friday at 9pm for $10, and it is well

worth the money.
