Meet the
Exchange Students |

News: |
Happy with my assignment—Gina Chien
Submitted by: James Niccum
Education is not only for the
beginning of your life its something you
do your whole life. It takes leaving
everything and everyone behind to begin
that journey, sometimes. Like most
teenagers today we have a lot on our
minds. Food, friends, sports, sleep and
music are the general thoughts
processed. Not until we hit our senior
year do we begin to compose our future.
However, there are instances when a
teenager decides to begin their future
at a much younger age, such as Gina
Chien.
Sixteen-year-old Gina knows all too well
about leaving everything behind. Before
arriving at Adrian high as a foreign exchange student from Taiwan with a school population of 2000, Gina was
unaware of the density of
Adrian,
Oregon. While living in Taiwan, Gina
enjoyed many things such as: playing
piano, singing, computer games,
shopping, and eating/cooking. Her family
includes her father, who is a technology
engineer, mother, a piano teacher, and
her 18-year-old sister now in college.
|
|
 |
Since moving to Adrian Gina has been active in
volleyball, and plans on participating in all
the other sports
Adrian
has to offer. When asked what the main reason
was for becoming a foreign exchange student she
explained it was mostly to better her English
(even though she sounds sufficiently fluent).
After graduating, Gina is not sure yet but wants
to become either a Airline steward, Pharmacist,
or Elementary Teacher. Since relocating here in
Adrian, Gina was home sick during the
first few weeks, but now has grown more
accustomed to America and what
it has to offer.
Throughout her journey in Adrian Oregon, Gina
will acquire many new skills and have mastered
the English language by terms end. Although it
may be hard to have left her family and friends,
it’s for the greater good of her future. She
wants to become a teacher, pharmacist, or even
Airline steward—Adrian has a lot to offer and help with her
goals.
Although Gina stated she did
not get to choose her destination for the
exchange student experience, she is very happy
with her assignment to Adrian. We are happy to
have Gina as part of our school and community
and wish her a pleasurable experience.

A
Walk in the Park--Marie Makepeace
Submitted by: Maddy Pendergrass
Marie Louise Makepeace is a new addition
to our
Adrian
student body, and great addition at
that. Marie comes to us from Freising,
Germany.
Although she comes from
Germany, she was
actually born in
Austria.
Since she has arrived to
Adrian
she has made herself at home with her
new host family—the Barrazas.
When asked how
Adrian
compares to her hometown of Freising she
simply replied that it is nice, and she
enjoys it here. She also said that her
hometown is more modern, so there are
more possibilities to go shopping or go
to the movies. She added that are also
more possibilities as far as college
opportunities because of the large
school population. When asked which she
prefers more her hometown or Adrian she replied, my
hometown simply because it is larger,
and mainly because my family is there.
She also pointed out that Freising also
exhibits nature opportunities, where you
can talk a walk in the park if
necessary.

with fellow exchange students
Sophia (left) and Gina (right). |

The
Adrian school
district In comparison to the schools on
Freising she said is very comparable. The level
is very close to the same. The length of the
school days in Freising varies from 8:00 a.m. to
1:00 p.m. and from 8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. from
In Marie’s free time she enjoys doing a variety
of different activities. She enjoys walking her
dog in the park, as well as going swimming when
the weather is nice. She also enjoys spending
time with her friends and going to the movies.
As far as participating in sports, Marie usually
plays basketball but since she go the
opportunity to play volleyball here, she said
that she really enjoyed it. Therefore, when she
returns home she will most likely play
volleyball instead of basketball. Marie’s
favorite thing about attending Adrian High School
is our Mascot—the Antelope. She says she thinks
that it is very creative and original.
Marie stated her favorite American dish that she
really enjoys eating pizza, even though it is
technically an Italian dish. Her favorite food
from her hometown is anything that her mother
cooks, she made sure to emphasis that. The thing
that she misses most about home is her family,
she says that she really enjoys it here, but she
misses her mom and dad. If Marie could be any
candy bar in the entire world, she would be
anything that has chocolate because it is
DELICIOUS.
If she could be any animal she would be a
bird, because they can fly and see “way more”
than we can. One thing that Marie wanted to add
was that one day she wants to do something
extreme, like go bungee jumping.
Welcome Marie—may your adventures at
Adrian
be as exciting as bungee jumping.

A Deer in the
Headlights—Un
Chon
Submitted by: Janeth
Santiago
Coming to a new country, learning a new
language, meeting new friend and teachers is
usually the start of a new begging. The start of
a new life at another country means making new
memories and new charitable moments with a new
family a new home can some times be hard. Try
having a real change in life and learning new
things that may seem out of your niche Un Chon a
student at Adrian high school regardless of the
change to a new niche he plans to have many
memories too take back home to Korea.
Have you heard of any one who plans
to kill a deer with a bb gun well Un Chon will
attempt this massacre. With having no biology
background on what a deer looks like he plans to
go hunting with his new family in Adrian,
Oregon.
 |
|
Un, a sixteen year old student from
Korea, made the decision to come to
America to better his English. He
studied English for two years in Korea,
and is hoping to understand and learn
more about our language. Un stated his
biology course has been one his top
struggles
at Adrian High
to understand the English language. He
is also interested in knowing more about
the animals that surround Adrian.
After coming to Adrian he discovered
that coming here he did not have look
like everyone, he felt he had more of a
freedom because he has the opportunity
to express himself as he is accustomed
to wearing school uniforms. He also is
fascinated about our time hour schedules
due to the fact that we are in school
eight hours instead of the required
daily fourteen hours of Korean schools.
"Being in school for such an extended
length of time was not really not fun,"
said Un, but coming here and getting the
change to switch classes instead of
staying in the same classroom has been a
welcome change. He enjoys every class he
has here in Adrian
high school he plans to further his
education in the United States of America. |
Un got home sick for the first week of school he
said he misses his family and friends what he
misses the most is Korean rice due to the fact
that our American rice is bigger and longer
compared to the Korean rice being smaller and
tiny. He really enjoy American food he like to
eat lunch at school specially hamburgers.
His future plans in Adrian are to play baseball
and write more stories in Mr. Tolman creative
writing, he also plans to have many friends by
the time he returns back home. He really enjoys
everyone’s friendliness and he really enjoys
having funny teachers such as Mr. Johnson.
Un resembled a "deer in the headlights" his
first week of school in America--somewhat
scared. Becoming more comfortable with the
English language and getting to know the
students and staff has helped Un become more
comfortable in his new setting of Adrian High.
Everyone hopes you have an enjoyable experience
at AHS and don’t forget the face paint for your
deer hunting adventure.

AHS Senior Project hits students with “real emotion”
Owyhee Avalanche
In an emotion filled gymnasium, Maddy
Pendergrass used the strongest influence on a
teenager’s choices—their peers—to explain why
making the right decisions is important.
Pendergrass wrapped up the physical project
portion of her Senior Project at Adrian
High School last
week with her Every 15 Minutes production.
“It is good to have this done,” Pendergrass
said. “I have put in a lot of hoard work with a
lot of support from people in the surrounding
communities. I just hope that the presentation
impacted everyone who took part in it.”
Along with the AHS student body, three busloads
of Homedale students crammed into the high
school gym in
Adrian
to take part in the campaign to raise awareness
of the dangers of drunk driving.
The two-hour program kicked off with a video
depicting three students attending a bonfire,
becoming intoxicated and leaving to pick up more
alcohol. In between the scenes of the teenagers,
teacher Kelsey Zimmerman and students Chelsey
Heller leave the school after a parents-teacher
conference.
Following the video, students were ushered onto
Ward Field where a crash scene was staged. The
“drunk driver,” AHS senior Mark Ishida, had
collided with a van driven by Zimmerman.
 |
|
"I started to tear up while I was out
there on the field during the crash
reenactment,” Ishida said. “This was an
intense situation to be in. Seeing what
could have been real play out on the
field really hit me.”
A recorded 911 call was played
requesting emergency personnel to
arrive. Deputies form the Malheur County
Sheriff’s Office dove onto the track
with lights and sirens running and were
shortly followed by the first-responders
from Adrian Quick Response Unit and
Treasure Valley Paramedics from
Ontario,
OR. |

realizes the situations of
occupants as the result of an
alcohol related incident. |

|
|
Deputy Casey Walker, who assisted Pendergrass in
the planning of the event, surveyed the crash
scene, evaluating Zimmerman and the passenger
from Ishida’s vehicle who was ejected through
the windshield onto the hood of the two-door
car.
"The realism of the scenario is aimed at
impacting everyone,” Pendergrass said.
“Seeing their fellow classmates
‘injured’ and trapped in a car simulated
the real experience of being in that
situation.”
Walker
pronounced Zimmerman dead as a result of
the crash. Emergency personnel quickly
evaluated the scene and the other two
individuals, AHS student Olivia Morton
and HHS senior Justine Calzacorta, who
was trapped in the back seat of the
Ishida’s car.
|
|
 |
|
Jessica Morton lies helplessly
on the hood of a vehicle after
being thrown through the
windshield. |
|
“It is very emotional to see friends in that
situation,” HHS senior Aubrey Nash said. “Even
though I know that scene was staged Justine in
the car makes you think a lot about what you can
do to prevent things like this from happening.
Morton was removed from the hood of the car on a
backboard and placed in an ambulance. Adrian firefighters use a
pneumatic cutter to slice through the roof of
the car to gain access to Calzacorta.
After Calzacorta was extricated from the
vertical, the ambulances rushed from the scene,
leaving the MCSO deputies to evaluate Ishida
using sobriety test (FST) to determine his
intoxication level.
 |
|
Following the FST performed by
Walker, Ishida
was placed under arrest for driving
under the influence.
“Kids need to think about their
actions,”
Walker
said. “What they do now not only affects
the currently, but will stay with them
the rest of their lives. It not only
changes their life, but the lives of
countless other people”
After emergency personnel
were cleared from the scene, students
went back to the gym viewed the
remainder of Pendergrass’ video
production.

Ishida was viewed being booked into the Malheur
County Jail and Morton and Calazacorta were
checked into an
Ontario
Hospital.
“It is heart-wrenching,” Nash said. “Everyone
here was displaying real emotion. When you see a
video where a parent is really crying because
their child is in hospital even though they know
they are fine and it is staged, it was still
emotional.
An emotional scene played out for the teens as
doctors informed Morton’s Parents that she
passed away as a result of the accident. The
medical technicians informed Cheryl Calzacorta
that her daughter would need specialized care
and would be transported to a Boise-area
hospital.
In the final scene of the video, a MCSO
deputy arrived at Zimmerman’s home and
was greeted by two children was informed
her husband, Matt, of the death.
"The last thing we want to do is notify
anyone, let alone parents, of a death,” Walker said. “It is the
hardest thing you will ever to do.
Hopefully this presentation helps kids
to think about what they do and the
choices they make.”
Following the video, a mock memorial
service for Zimmerman and Morton was
carried out inside the gym. Family
members of the “deceased” were ushered
into the gym and tearful eulogies were
read

“When we came back in from the crash scene and
they were reading the eulogies for the people
who were killed, it hit me hard,” AHS junior
Madison Purnell said. “it was especially hard to
hear the one for Mrs. Zimmerman. Knowing her
kids grow up without a mother, it makes you
realized how important your decision are.”
After the eulogies were read, students heard
first-hand from a Caldwell family that was affected by a drunk
driver.
Angel Zeimantz, whose daughter Cassy was
involved in vehicle accident with drunk driver
in 2007, explained to the students, “Whether you
do somrthings of you don’t… It matter.”
“I died that night,” Cassy said. “I don’t care
how you handle it, but don’t get behind the
wheel. You are playing Russian roulette with not
just your life, but someone else as well.”
Cassy Zeimantz spent nearly one month in the
hospital in a coma recovering from the accident.
“I hope that through all the work that went into
this project, everyone who was here learned that
the choices they make have a direct impact on
everyone. (Drunk driving) is something you can
prevent. It is your decision. Why not make the
right decision?” Pendergrass said.

Livas to Shira sends Adrian past Mustangs
An important lesson
Presentation focuses on dangers of alcohol
Argus Observer
The lives of those who live in a small community
are interwoven, and those bonds become much more
apparent in the case of a tragic situation.
 |
|
Wednesday afternoon, students at
Adrian
High School and the junior and senior
classes of
Homedale High School took part in an emotionally charged
morning during a presentation put on by
one of Adrian’s seniors.
Maddy Pendergrass has
been working on her senior project since
March and brought in Corrections
Corporation of America, out of Boise, to
present “Every 15 Minutes” to the
student bodies in attendance. |
A Malheur
County Sheriff’s Office deputy
talks with a couple of crash
victims during a mock accident
Wednesday morning at Adrian High
School. |
|
|
Pendergrass first saw the “Every 15 Minutes”
presentation as a freshman and thought it was
something important, so she brought it back to Adrian.
The presentation focuses on
how, every 15 minutes, somebody dies in an
alcohol-related crash.
“Nobody wants to see their friends, family or
classmates pass away by something that can be
prevented,” Pendergrass said.
Wednesday’s
activities began with a video presentation of
teenagers leaving a party and a student and
teacher leaving parent-teacher conferences.
There is an accident, which was presented to the
students live in a mock demonstration on the
Adrian
football field.
The crash was staged, and
students watched emergency service personnel
worked to pull the victims from the vehicles and
take them to local hospitals.
“It was
hard to watch the kids go through that. It broke
my heart,” Kelsie Zimmerman, a teacher at
Adrian
High School and middle
school, and also a crash victim said of the
crash scene. “In Adrian, we are very close knit. I teach all
these kids, or I have taught them.”
Zimmerman also said the situation that was
presented by Pendergrass is a very real
scenario, making the demonstration more
emotional.
Zimmerman died at the scene of
the accident Wednesday, while her passenger
suffered from minor injuries.
The driver
of the second vehicle,
Adrian
senior Mark Ishida, also suffered minor
injuries, while his passenger was taken to an
area hospital, were she later died from her
injuries. The passenger in the back seat was
paralyzed.
As emergency personnel got the
crash scene under control, an interview by
Malheur County Sheriff’s Office deputies with
Ishida revealed he had been drinking, and a
field sobriety test confirmed he was under the
influence, and he was arrested.
A video back in the gymnasium after the mock crash demonstration
showed the emergency room footage of the
victims.
The video following the crash
proved to be an emotional experience for many of
the students and faculty in attendance. Many of
those not impacted by the video were touched by
the eulogies of those who lost their lives.
“I wasn’t sure how it was going to be with
another school,” Kevin Purnell, Adrian
High School
principal, said. “I could see that it touched
them. I was very pleased.”
Following the
funerals of those who had lost their lives,
guest speaker Angel Zeimantz and her daughter,
Cassy Zeimantz, talked about their experience
with a crash involving drunk drivers, which
claimed the life of one of Angel’s best friends
and nearly took the life of Cassy.
Cassy
Zeimantz was injured in a vehicle crash nearly
four years ago during her senior year of high
school, when a drunk driver ran into the vehicle
of which she was a passenger. The crash left her
in a coma for nearly a month before doctors were
able to bring her back to consciousness.
As a result of the accident, her life has
changed forever, and she is still working to
regain control of her body.
Cassy
Zeimantz said she died that day, and that
somebody else has taken her place. The message
left behind was not to abstain from drinking but
to not drink and drive.
Linda Sevison
from Corrections Corporation of
America
said these presentations have had a real impact
on the high schoolers in the Treasure Valley. The company does about two or
three presentations a year.
Pendergrass
said the scenes filmed Wednesday were much
easier to deal with than the scenes filmed at
the hospital.
“It was really difficult,
very realistic,” she said.
While working
on her senior project, Pendergrass surpassed the
required six hours needed to complete her
project, with more than 175 hours logged.
“It went well. It went smoothly,”
Pendergrass said.
While she is pleased
with how the event unfolded, Pendergrass wanted
to leave those in attendance with a final
thought.
“Make the right decision,” she
said.

Busy week
for Lady ‘Lopes
Malheur Enterprise
The Adrian volleyball team
played in the road last week. On September 23,
they were at Dayville and defeated Monument/Dayville
in three games, 25-19, 25-15, and 25-11.
“I was happy with our serving and it caused some
problems for Monument/Dayville,” said
Adrian coach
Aimee Goss. “Good first league match and nice to
travel and come away with a win.”
Stats: Carla Combe, 3 aces, 5 kills; Madison
Purnell, 1 block kill, 6 kills; Annie Bowns, 3
aces, 3 block kills, 5 kills; Nichole Orosco 11
aces, 3 kills; Chelsey Heller, 17 assists.
On September 24,
Adrian
was at the Tri-Valley Tournament. The team
played well in pool play and advanced to bracket
play where they lost to Horseshoe Bend in tow,
19-25, and 14-25.
“Good overall tournament play,” said Goss.
“Against Horseshoe Bend, we made some
serve-receive errors, and defensive errors that
kept us from scoring when we needed to.
Horseshoe Bend attacked the call well, and we didn’t
quite ever gain momentum defensively.”
Stats: Purnell, 4 aces, 7 kills; Bowns, 1 ace, 2
kills; Orosco, 2 aces, 6 kills; Heller, 10
assists.
The Lady ‘Lopes now have an overall record of
4-5 and are 1-0 in High Desert League play. They
will be at home this Friday, September 30, to
play both Harper and Huntington.

Turnovers
plague Antelopes
Malheur Enterprise
“They showed up to play ball, and we didn’t,”
said Adrian head coach Paul Shenk after the
Antelopes’ 20-36 loss at Dayville. “We, as
coaches, did not do our jobs, and the kids did
not do theirs.”
Adrian
lost the ball three times; all capitalized by
Monument/Dayville.
“One fumble, they stripped the ball and ran all
the way for a touchdown,” said Shenk.
The Tigers opened the game scoring on a 25-yard
pass play less then a minute into the game. A
conversion pass later,
Adrian
trailed 0-8. The antelopes rallied and tied the
game on an eight-year pass from Juan Munoz to
Paxton Shira and Munoz run. But that was to be
all of Adrian’s scoring in the
first half. Their hosts went on to score five
more times in the half to lead 36-9 at halftime.
Adrian
scored once in both the third and fourth
quarters. The first came on a Kurt Neilson
14-yard run, and the second was on a 34-yard run
by Mark Ishida. Both conversion attempts failed.
Monument/Dayville scored twice in the third. The
first was the fumble recovery, and the second
came from a nine-yard run. One conversion pass
was completed.
On the bright side, Shenk was pleased with the
leadership his two seniors, Mark Ishida and
Dylan Osborn displayed during the game. “They
are a very big part of our team and show great
team leadership,” he said. “As a team, we didn’t
quit.”
Adrian
will host Harper/ Huntington this Friday, Sept.
30, in High Desert League action.
