Every student is a unique individual with special memories of the school year. That's why it's so important to own a yearbook, because it's the most complete record available of the history of your school year. This year's full of unforgettable friendships and experiences should be transform in a lasting book you will keep for the rest of your life. Your school's official yearbook helps you relive every memory together and discover everything else that you missed. It’s an all-in-one limited edition; there’s nothing else like it. This is the only book about which you can say, “I’m in it!”. The Yearbook staff rule is simple: everyone shall be included in the Yearbook three times, once in a portrait and at least two additional times as a unique individual. In bigger schools sometimes students do not have the opportunity to be in the yearbook, so you are lucky to be in a small school and make this yearbook an awesome memory for you and your friends. Geyserville Educational Park’s Yearbook is 100% cool memories that consist of 25% for Student Life, 15% for clubs, 30% for People, 12% for Academics, and 18% for Sports. Creating a Yearbook is not an easy task: you have to work whit deadlines and people that do not like their pictures taken. The yearbook staff are doing really well and hope they can finish their pages on time. |

Remember to order your yearbook before January 30th to get your name for free. If you do not order your yearbook before the deadline, you won’t get your name inscribed. The yearbook cost of $50 will remain the same, but it seems like ordering it early is a good deal. You could also personalize you yearbook with nice icons that are only $5 each. To purchase a yearbook ask the yearbook staff for an application, fill it out, and give it to Mr. Klug. This year only happens once, so Yearbook it, and remember it forever. |

Hunting has always been a pastime and a source of food for generations. Some have gone so far as to call it an art; the art of stalking and killing an animal to feed your family. With the advent of large-scale markets, agricultural corporations, and animal husbandry, hunting has become primarily a sport. I’m here to show that even though hunting isn’t required, it can certainly help human kind still. Most people hunt because they enjoy it, they love the game of cat-and-mouse that is inherent when tracking an animal, and they love that feeling of the hunt. This pastime has definitely revealed a primitive facet of human instinct and can, in a certain way, teach one the meaning of a life. A life is a living, breathing entity of vibrancy and beauty. Taking that away can either be evil or good, depending on your intentions. Many frown upon hunters who go out and shoot the biggest animal they see but only take whatever trophy the animal has, leaving the potential food to rot where it fell. This is a disgusting waste of life. Killing an animal for bragging rights is just as bad as killing a human. Is showing off a large pair of antlers worth destroying a life as beautiful as what the deer had? Hunting is based on rules and regulations set by the Department of Fish and Game, most of which were put in for the safety of the animal populations. Each animal designated for hunting has its own season, a set of weapons legal during that time, and a limit. This prevents people from going out with a military assault rifle and killing off half of the population in one month. One of the bigger problems animals face is poaching. It happens mostly in the southern parts of the United States, so many people blame the immigrants crossing the border, but this is not the whole story. Most poachers are U.S. citizens who violate state and federal laws to satisfy egos and pocketbooks. Most of regulatory laws are enforced through Rangers and Game Wardens, who monitor certain areas for |

poachers. One of the more popular game animals, the Whitetail Deer, makes it’s home in large portions of the United States. In the 1920s, the whitetails where commercially exploited, had no set regulations for hunting, and where decimated due to deforestation and the lack of environmental regulations. They suffered heavy losses and were close to becoming endangered when the Department of Fish and Game set up strict regulations and seasons for them. A majority of people may think hunting barbaric and something of the past, something we no longer need in an age of cattle ranches and large agrochemical corporations.. Hunting is about responsible killing of regulated animal groups as a sport, a source of fresh meat, and a respect for our evolutionary past.
