HEALTH CARE Under Obamacare, President Obama is push- ing to provide a health care system that not only assures access to preventive care, but also pro- tects people from abuse by insurance companies.

Anwara Anwara, 16, (last name undisclosed for privacy purpos-es) from the West Bengal region in In-dia, gained notoriety for her fight against the human trafficking in her area, specifically of young girls. Anwara’s father died when she was nine years old, and she was traded to a local trafficker in exchange for some money and a share of her monthly salary. In 2008, Anwara was freed by a local NGO (non-governmental organization), and since then has helped to get 200 children back into school, and has stopped several cases of young human trade. In addition, she has put pressure on local authorities, which has helped prevent numerous early marriages.

Malala

14-year old Malala Yousafzai (a 2011 nominee) became internation-ally renowned for her fight for girls’

education rights. She and Two other girls were attacked by the Taliban on their way back from school in their hometown of Swat Valley, Pakistan. Now receiving treatment for the gunshot wounds in her head and neck out of her home coun-try of Pakistan, Malala has become an even bigger target for the Taliban. In one interview, Yousafzai said “They cannot stop me, I will get my education, if it is in-home, school or any place. This is our request to the whole world that [they] will save our schools, save our world, save our Pakistan.”

Read Malala’s Blog: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/7834402.stm

Amina Amina (last name undisclosed for privacy puposes) was born and raised in Ghana, Africa, where she worked

at earning a strong education for herself. However, as a young teen, she was threat-ened of being taken out of school and forced into marriage. This is a common situation in several African countries for young girls to be put straight into marriage without getting a proper education. Amina was spared from the arranged marriage by her teachers and local authorities, and because of her passion for children’s edu-cation, Amina started the “Achievers Book Club” at age 16. Her organization strives to provide education for children by distrib-uting books and money to the struggling schools in Ghana. Amina hopes to continue the fight for educations rights, and hopes to spark a light of inspiration to young people all around the world. Anyone can make a difference.

Kesz Kesz (last name undisclosed for pri-vacy purposes) grew up in the midst of poverty in the Phil-ippines. As a young boy, he was horribly abused, beaten and abandoned by his family. After three years of unbearable mistreatment, Kesz ran away from home and lived with a local social worker. When asked what he want-ed for his seventh birthday, Kesz response was simple: something to give to the impoverished neighborhood kids around him. From there, Kesz started the “Cham-pioning Community Children” program which aspires young people living in pov-erty to take life into their own hands by accessing education, jobs, and resources. The organization also distributes “HOPE GIFTS;” packages with slippers, cloth-ing, soap, toothbrushes and toys. Over the past seven years Kesz’s organization have given out over 5,000 “HOPE GIFTS” and helped 10,000 children.

Learn more about Kesz: https://www.facebook.com/kesziam

The ICPP is presented annually to an exceptional child whose courageous, remarkable acts and thoughts have made a differ-ence in combating issues affecting children worldwide. This Dutch organization has been running since 2005, since it was first

launched during Nobel Peace Laureates’ Summit by Mikhail Gorbachev.European

Fashion Statement

Men’s Perspective

68%Ladies, The most liked clothing article for girls was yoga pants, no doubt for si-miliar reasons that “shirtless” was written in for girl’s tops. What you must under-stand is we all know you are not wearing the fitted material for your own comfort.

Women’s Perspective

Are Ashland teenagers unique who care more about personality than appearance? Of course not. In the recent poll at AHS, the ideal wasn’t classy or wacky but instead, normal.

Women dressed their ideal man, men dressed their ideal woman.

Men, Didn’t feel like showering last night? Throw a beanie on. Women voted it to be most attractive.

28% 39%Ladies, you’re free to sleep in an extra ten minutes. Just throw on that old hoodie and call it good.

46% Men, Although 34% of AHS women would rather see men without a shirt on, guys, there’s a time and a place.

Girls:Most days, we look at the quad and mutter under our breath “put some pants on.” Whether it’s yoga pants, leggings or one of those tight black skirts... just no. Leggings may be comfort-able, but most of the time you look like a slob. As long as you dress practical you have our blessings. If you dress for others, stop stressing. Go wear that neon wind-breaker. It’ll attract more than the oxford shoes and jean jacket combo. Just don’t go showing off your ASSets and all will be well.

Boys: After slamming the snooze button, boys shove themselves out of bed and off to school to arrive as the bell rings. Don’t pretend that you don’t know that girls are spending hours to get ready while you laze around until last minute. You can put SOME effort in getting ready in the morning. Also, if it’s freezing out-side, why do you choose to wear shorts and t-shirts? There’s frost and you’re all pretending like this is Malibu. Just be-cause you can face the cold doesn’t make you anymore of a man. Trust me, we love the sensible guys. So how about you all get up a half hour before school instead of the usual ten minutes. Don’t worry; you are going lose sleep, but it willl be for the greater good

Girls: Everyone has certain saying they live by. When it comes to how you dress in high school, try following the old adage “Less is more and tighter is better.” First, Ashland has a temperate climate, so who needs a heavy coat? I’ve found that most of those who settle for less end up happier and much more comfortable. Second, who wouldn’t want to show off those newly-toned muscles (a result from weekly bikram yoga.) Third and final, yoga pants are, well, perfect. They can be dressed up or down. The conve-nience allows the wearer to not worry about a belt, and the style offers such rewards as improved flexibility and a sharp increase in the number of boys asking you to lunch.

Boys: To be honest, I don’t think anyone really cares what guys wear to school. However, if you wish to mix things up every once in a while, try some of the following: jorts, trench coats, fedoras, leather jackets, and of course, crocs.

The Beanie The Hoodie

The Tee-Shirt

The Yoga Pants

The Fitted Jeans66%

Men, no girl appreciates the skin-ny jeans. Unless you’re Ashton Kutcher, stick with the fitted Levis.

Vans/ Nikes

The Zip Hoodie

Men, there’s nothing more attrac-tive than the casual swagger of a zip hoodie. It shouts “I look good without trying.”

50% Toms Shoes

Men, Just do it. 56%

28%Ladies, aparently men are attracted to the philanthropic type.

Halloween should be a frightfully fun time of year, but it can be deadly if you’re not careful. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Adminis-tration (NHTSA), drunk drivers nationally kill more than three times as many people during Halloween than on New Year’s Eve. On that note, make sure you:

• Never assume a car will stop for you. Make eye contact with drivers to ensure they see you.

• Walk on sidewalks instead of the street.• Never dart out into traffic or jaywalk.• Look both ways before crossing the street to check for cars, trucks and

low-flying brooms.• Remember AHS’ golden motto: act responsibly, have integrity, show

respect.

As children mingle through neighborhoods, winding their way from house to house, collecting their hoards of candy, there is always the house that has its lights off, blinds closed and lacks the bucket of love. Although these houses tend to disappoint the throngs of kids that push their way to the door, with grabbing hands, these houses may have good reason. Ever wished you could ignore the constantly ringing doorbell, and just have some peace and quiet? This Hallow-een try the following solutions:

• Shut the curtains• Resist putting up the spooky decorations• Fight the urge to buy the massive amounts of

candy • Turn off the lights• Ignore the frequently ringing doorbell

“Halloween is the one night a year when a girl can dress up like a total slut and no other girls can say anything about it,” Cady, Lindsay Lohan’s character in “Mean Girls,” said. And it’s true. So why do girls dress like “sluts” on Halloween? And why do a lot of people bash them for doing so? First of all, Halloween is the one time a year we can be someone or something we are not, which is exciting. We can dress up and be our favorite super heroes, celebrities, inanimate objects, classic horror monsters; anything we want. But for girls it goes something like this. Sexy cop. Sexy Disney Princess. Sexy Mario Brothers. Sexy Banana. Just add sexy in front of anything, and you’ve got the majority of your female Halloween costumes any year. But where is the point when sexy, becomes inap-propriate?

Where to draw the line

Pumpkin Guts Bread Recipe• 2 cups of fresh pumpkin guts, pureed• 3.5 cups all-purpose flour• 2 teaspoons baking soda• 1.5 teaspoons salt• 2 teaspoons cinnamon• 2 teaspoons nutmeg• 3 cups sugar• 4 eggs, beaten• 0.5 cups water• 1 cup vegetable oil• A handful of chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease two 9″ loaf pans and line the bottoms with parchment paper. Mix the flour, soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and sugar in large mixing bowl. Add eggs, water, vegetable oil and pureed pumpkin guts. Mix com-pletely. If you are including nuts in the recipe mix them in now. Mix well. Pour into your prepared loaf pans and bake for about one hour, or until your toothpick inserted in the center comes out dry. Cool the pumpkin gut bread loaves for a bit, then turn them out of the pans and cool completely on the racks.

Recipe from: http://www.fiftytwocakes.com/pumpkin-guts-bread/

This warm and fuzzy outfit leaves your in-sides feeling toasty and lets your outsides radi-ate the heat. The coy hood adds just the right level of cuteness fac-tor that it doesn’t get neighboring parents to raise their eyebrows.

Who would have thought that those pesky ladies who re-fuse to give you more than one peanut snack per flight could devel-op into a playful and flattering outfit? After all, once a year you do get the chance to be anything at all, so the sky and your imagina-tion is the limit.

A Halloween classic, this costume’s purpose isn’t to show off your impeccable sense of naval direction, but to just give yourself an excuse to pull off a short, blue dress with-out being mistaken as a Smurf. If you want to show your patriotism to the great blue, why not dress yourself up as a scuba diver?

Mmm, hard hats and grease stains ─ that’s exactly what you imagine when you hear of construction workers. However, when looking at this costume, it really doesn’t leave much to the imagination. We’re hoping you can set down that hammer and nail, and consider the clothing policies that require you to actually wear some-thing for this line of work.

Be respectful; be spooky

Ashland High School’s production of the musical comedy “The Drowsy Chaperone” centers around the middle-aged Man in the Chair and his wild fantasies about the mythical 1920s musical, “The Drowsy Chaperone.” The characters pop to life as the Man in the Chair spins his record player to his favorite musical. During each song, he acts as the narrator and spells everything out for the audience. The actual plot of the musical within the musical follows the famous actress, Janet Van de Graaff, and her desire to settle down and marry a debonair, Robert Martin. However, not everything can be perfect. Feldzieg, Janet’s ever-so greedy producer, is against Janet’s desire to be bound in holy matrimony. For if she gets married, Feldzieg will lose his job. With these contradicting forces, Janet looks to the help of her friend, a very Drowsy Chaperone, to determine her marital future. “The Drowsy

Chaperone” is a delightful and quirky musical that is sure to

make an impression on all.

Rogue News: When did you start playing water polo?Miles Furuichi: I was recruited my 8th grade year by Christi Gilmore to come to a summer camp.RN: Why did you start playing? Furuichi: It seemed like a fun sport and I thought I’d give it a shot.RN: Are you playing water polo outside of the school team?Furuichi: Yes, I’m the starting goalie for the Pa-cific Northwest Water Polo team, and I’m also on the Portland Junior Olympics team. I have to do a lot of traveling for both, but I really enjoy playing on them.RN: Even though you’re a goalie, have you ever scored any goals? Furuichi: Actually, Yes, I have scored three cross-pool goals.

RN: What was your favorite game so far in your career?Furuichi: I’ve had some really good games, but I think the game when we won state last year was just the greatest feeling. It doesn’t get much better than winning state alongside your team.RN: I hear water polo’s a pretty tough sport, so what are some examples of the physicality of the sport?Furuichi: I was once triple-teamed and face-palmed by three kids, but in a separate game I took the ball from a kid, then raked his eyes with my hand while he was underwater [he laughs].RN: What is the best aspect of playing water polo?Furuichi: Personally, I love the atmosphere of the team and coming to practice every day to work and have a blast in the pool. We’re a family.RN: Do you plan on continuing with water polo after high school?Furuichi: That is the current plan. I would love to play in college and possibly beyond.

Stats

“Miles is the best goalie in the state. He saves us constantly, and it’s great know-ing he is there to bail us out. He com-mands the pool very well, and allows us to focus on other aspects of our games.” – Jericho Walker-Roberts, teammate

“Not only is [Miles] good at blocking shots, but he is a strong leader in and out of the pool. He’s a great team player and a good role model for the younger players.” – Andrew DelCarlo, head coach

The boys’ water polo Team is having yet anoth-er fruitful season. With successes against both 5A and 6A schools, and wins in every league game, the Grizzlies are gearing up for a deep run into the postseason tournament. The team was dealt a tough midseason blow, as scoring threat (and one of the State of Oregon’s top players) Taos Cadarette-Stewart was lost for the year due to a broken finger. The squad completely changed their offense and strategy in an attempt to compensate for the loss. “Everyone is doing a great job of collectively stepping up in Taos’ absence. We’ll easily be able to make up the difference, both on offense and de-fense,” Defender Alex Sukles said.

by Mitchell Harfst and Gabe Young

“Miles is very dedicated to his position as goalie. He makes amazing blocks that most certainly are a huge contribution to the success of the boys team. He guides the team as well from the goal and is a pleasure to watch.” – Julie Kasiah, water polo fan
