Music concert comes to the Florida Everglades
by Jay Valentine
It’s not every day that a major music
event comes around this area, other than
those has-been rock bands that headline
Germain Arena, or Lynyrd Skynyrd’s
performance at Centennial Park. Lucky
for us, a four-day music festival called
Langerado will be hosted not in this county,
but thirty minutes away on Alligator Alley
deep in the heart of the Florida Everglades.
Unlike any concert in our location, this
music festival will include many of today’s
recording artists internationally known
with headlining bands such as the Beastie
Boys, 311, The Roots, Les Claypool from
the band Primus, Blind Melon, R.E.M.
along with eighty other bands performing
during the four day camping event.
Needless to say, people from all states
and countries will be attending the festival,
and the population should be give or take
80,000. If you’ve never experienced a
music festival like this, be sure it’s a high
priority on your to-do list before you go
off to college or into the working world.
Langerado started in 2003 as a single day
music concert, hosting 3,500 people in the Ft.
Lauderdale stadium festival grounds. From
there, it has won “best festival” award every
year since, gradually increased the amount
of attending fans, and has now changed its
location to the Big Cypress Seminole Indian
Reservation for the 2008 festival. Music and
art advocate Abby Hackett said “the band
line up this year will make all other festivals
look like a joke.” Matthew Caccioppo agreed
to that statement, and added that “if you
don’t plan on going, this will be one of those
things that you’re going to regret not doing.”
In previous years, the festival has had bands
such as The String Cheese Incident, Cake,
The Wailers, The Black Crowes, and Slightly
Stoopid. There has never been a festival that
will attract as many fans as this year’s line-up.
While the music itself is reason enough to
go, it would be impossible to describe this
type of community to someone until you
Mock Trial called into session
experience how friendly, helpful, and familylike
everyone is at the festival. The entire area
is secured by paramedics, police officers, and
watchtowers strategically placed with large
weather balloons signifying the location of
your camping area. Although enforcement
is rarely needed, their presence is solely
for the personal safety and prevention of
harm to anyone that has found themselves
in worst case scenarios. Living amongst a
highly concentrated population forces you
to become friends with your neighbors,
and makes it easier for you to meet people
you’ve never seen before. The different
cultures and beliefs of people there create our
individuality, but everyone has in common
a passion for music and a love of life.
Making the Everglades a survivable place
for a large group of people to live takes a lot of
water, electricity, and food, but will produce
even more waste. That’s why Langerado has
agreed to an extensive recycling program
that includes biodegradable food serving
by Laura Bisbee
Mock Trial has been called into session here at Fort Myers High, and only fitting, considering that this national program is more than well spoken
of. Mock Trial, headed by coordinator Mr. Howard Wright, has been a part of Fort Myers High tradition for fifteen years, and is still a popular
program for aspiring lawyers. It is a key part of the new four-year program available for all students, the Law Academy. Just recently teams from
our own Fort Myers High School participated in the three-day Mock Trial competition held at Lee County Justice Center in Downtown Fort Myers.
The competition, from January 28 to January 30, provided students across Lee County the chance to debate the case, both for prosecution and
defense, of Marla Manning, charged with possession and manufacture of marijuana, as well as child neglect.
To prepare for the competition, Fort Myers High Mock Trial members are divided into three groups
of eight people each. At least two professional attorneys from the Fort Myers law scene are assigned
to each group, serving that team as advisors. The attorneys are not paid for their contribution, as Mr.
Wright notes generously, “Even though they are paid more than one hundred dollars and hour, they
have donated at least forty hours of their time to train the “mock” student attorneys.” The effort of
the assisting attorneys has obviously more than paid off, for in its past fifteen years, the Fort Myers
Mock Trial has mostly dominated district competition. “We have won the local Mock Trial Competition
eight out of ten years, and we have at least some thirty now practicing attorneys that went through
the Mock Trial program,” says Wright. “Last year we finished second and third, but during the court,
they offer five $250 cash scholarships. We won all of them” If Fort Myers Mock Trial wins this
competition, they will move from district to regional competition and finally to the state competition.

Miss Morris says seniors should expect,
“Long lines for the big rides, as soon as you
get to the park go straight for the big rides.”
She also says,” Wear comfortable
shoes and bring a blanket for the
bus ride because it gets really cold.”
The dress code for Grad Bash will be
distributed by Mr. Larosa at a later time.
There has been the addition of two more
buses bringing the total to five buses.
No book bags are allowed at the park. No
food or drinks will be allowed on the buses.
Seniors are not allowed to drive, they must
ride the bus. Security will be checking purses.
The rules must be followed in order to

Skim Club, great excuse to hit the beach
by Louis Mausser
Senior Sean Ayres and his friend from Ida Baker High School are showing off their skim boarding moves.
Skim Boarding Society, more commonly
known as “Skim Club” is heading into
its second semester as a registered club
at our school. Skim Club will continue to
meet at the Fort Myers Beach Pier every
Friday after school around 3:00 P.M.
Before leaving school, check in at room
301 with the rest of the club members.
The head sponsor of the club is still everyone’s
favorite chemistry master, Mr. Chow.
He says “There are no excuses for not
showing up. And now that all the mid-term
by Michele Kappas
exams are over, Skim Club will be going
back to its original routine of going to the
beach every Friday after school, doing
what we do the best - - skimboarding.”
Want to learn how to skimboard? Worry no
more because Skim Club provides lessons to
those who have never skimmed before, even
to those who are completely uncoordinated
and have a hard time walking without falling.
More advanced skimboarders such as
Sean Ayres (president and main founder
of the club) David Ayres, Marko Stieger,
“We believe that this season will be more successful as the returning athletes
provide the team with a better foundation and the rookies look to add extra depth,” says
Coach Kelly. Last year the Greenwave had two students, Jacob Brooks and Rachel
Stanley, make it to states. Stanley placed 7th in the 100 and 4th in the 300 hurdles. This
year the track team seems to be in a better position with their two new coach additions.
“I am excited about our two new coaches-Coach Stacey Fett (sprinting
coach) and Coach Pat Beil (long jump and high jump coach). I am also excited
about the number of returning athletes to help lead our team,” says Coach Jami.
The first meet will take place on Feb. 26 at North called Red Night
Relays, followed by the Eagle Invitational at Naples on February 29.
“This year we seem to have more motivation. We lost Gurdy Mitchell, Walter Idelette,
and Kelsey Tyler, who were big contributors, but this year we have good talent on both
the girls and boys side,” says Ryan Post. Right now FMHS has three seniors that are
planning to run in college next year. Stanley just signed her National Letter of Intent to
run at UNF on Feb.6, Brooks is contemplating between running at FSU or Troy, and Post
has high hopes of running next year but has not yet decided where. “My goal for this
year is to make to states again, and it would definitely be a plus to place,” says Brooks.
For 2008 some of the top runners include; Gregory Wade, Chris Carson, Jacob
Brooks, and Jennifer West. They expect to be most successful in the sprints and hurdles.
“The new additions to the coaching staff will only have a positive affect. The new coaches
add a coaching depth the Track staff has been lacking,” says Coach Kelly. Coach Fett
coached at FMHS in the 90’s and had winning seasons. “We have a great group of sprinters
who are really motivated and we look forward to a really “fast” season!” says Coach Fett.
Along with the runners things are looking up for the throwers as well. “I expect each thrower
to improve and to get our athletes excited and confident. The athletes are well on their way,”
says Coach Jami. Last year, Nick Kensinger, Matt Hunter and Hayden Royal threw the shut
put. Kensinger earned the most points last year and is doing the shot put again this year.
The Greenwave Track team seems to have a confident and positive outlook on
the upcoming season. Not only will the coaching additions be an improvement, but
Coach Kelly has noticed some leadership and motivation improvements in some of
the athletes as well. “This year we have a lot of talent, so they are all going to have
to work hard and we will see in a few weeks who gets to the top,” says Coach Jami.
and Louie Mausser, say that they will
also teach some of their sweet tricks
they know to anyone who wants to learn.
Louie Mausser, junior says, “Skimboarding
is a fun experience, I can show off my skills
to all the cute babes, and if the skims not
so nice we all just play football instead.”
Don’t have a skimboard? The members
of skim club will provide extra skimboards.
A recent rumor has been spreading, that the
club will invite all of its members on a trip
to the other coast of Florida. “Duh, it will
happen eventually! We have already taken a
trip to Vanderbilt Beach which is already like
nine million miles away from Fort Myers,”
Mr. Chow responded to the recent rumor.
Need CAS hours? Skim club also
offers CAS hours; see Ms. Sparks
for more details on that topic.
Skimboarding with the Skim Club is
a great excuse to head to the beach, it
keeps you fit and agile, and if you really
wanted you can work on a wicked tan.
Even though its winter the gulf water is
probably cold, so I asked Ethan Williams
if the water was too cold. EthanWilliams
said, “Even though the water is cold I’m a
true man so it doesn’t really phase me.”
There you have it the water is not
that cold coming from a “true man”.
So come, join Skim Club and be apart
of something great. In the words of Mr.
Chow “Skim Club will either rule or
Track team confident about upcoming season

Pleo Makes a Roaring Entrance at FMHS
Students learn about AI programming
by Melissa Hubble and Corinne Bowden
photo by Corinne Bowden
Mrs. Thompson’s ITGS classes are “waking” the
dinosaur.
Mrs. Thompson, Information Technology
in a Global Society (ITGS) teacher recently
purchased Pleo, an AI or artificial intelligence
dinosaur from ugobe.com. She bought Pleo
with the intentions of showing her students
how “a technological object made up of
gears and censors is able to learn and react
to its environment” for the price of $349.00.
She hopes that the students will learn how
AI programming can allow non-biological
creatures to learn how to respond to its

environment and make decisions about it.
Mrs. Thompson got the idea of raising a
robotic dinosaur through reading current IT
articles that discussed the dinosaur and robotics
and AI as part of the curriculum. This new
technology has just been made available to the
public, and it is a replica of a Camarasaurus
dinosaur. The Camarasaurus grew to 60 feet
in length at adulthood, and as a
n e w b o r n was the same size as Pleo.
She and her classes will continue
to care for the dinosaur
t h r o u g h t h e
end second
s e m e s t e r.
It will stay at
school during the
day, and she will bring
it home each night.
The robot uses an
infrared receiver,
sensors, a built in camera
making up the eyes, and a binaural
microphone which makes up the ears to sense
and learn its environment. Every Pleo is different
in personality and will continually differ as
they are exposed to different environmental
stimuli. Pleo is able to explore its environment
and respond to those that interact with it. It
also simulates eating but being that Pleo is
not alive it does not have a digestive system.
On January 28, 2008 Pleo was “hatched”
in the cafeteria. To make Pleo come alive,
the battery was charged, and the dinosaur
was rubbed for around 5-10 minutes, this
was the “birth” stage. The “hatchling” stage
followed, lasting from 30-45 minutes. During
this time, the dinosaur first began
to learn how to interact.
The next stage is
the “juvenile”
stage, which
continues
f r o m the end of
the hatchling stage to
the end of Pleo’s l i f e .
“Pleo is everything that is
good about small children, only
when it dies you can recharge
i t ” said Randy Bush. Pleo will continue
to teach many about the newest advances
in technology all the while making it fun.
Mobile Command Center intrigues ITGS students
by Michele Kappas
When one door closes another opens. But often we look so long so regretfully upon the
closed door that we fail to see the one that has opened for us. -Helen Keller

The Sheriff shows the Mobile Command Center to the
ITGS students.
Have you ever heard of an RV that
contains an electric toilet, costs $850,000,
and has a 360 degree range camera? This
is known as the Mobile Command Center,
and was at FMHS Wednesday, January 23. .
The Command Center is designed for use
at major emergency sites and can take over
all communication for the sheriff’s office.
The Mobile Command Center has
been in construction for a while and the
Lee County Sheriff’s Department took
command of it just over a month ago. Mrs.
Thompson decided to request for RV to
come on campus so all of her ITGS classes
could observe the technology firsthand.
“It was an insightful trip into the heart
of the technological advanced sheriff’s
department,” says Stephen Millage.
The purpose of the Mobile Command
Center visiting FMHS was to show how
satellite, phones, and the internet are
currently being used in law enforcement.
There are several unique characteristics
of this RV. One is the camera with the 360
degree range. This is located on the back of
the RV so that it is able to spy and zoom in on
photo by Melissa Hubble
anything around the mobile command center.
Inside of the RV there is something called the
smart board. This is a big screen TV, that you
are able to write on that shows images from the
camera. While on campus, the officer showed
the students everything the camera showed in
the parking lot and how to use the smart board .
The most interesting accessory is
the electric toilet! Talk about out of the
ordinary! This toilet contains no water,
and incinerates everything put into it.
Along with these characteristics
there are important safety attributes. In
case of a disaster, all communication is
now mobilized throughout the county.
If the sheriff’s office were to be shut down all
911 calls and emergency alerts are able to go
through the unit. The mobile command center
will be able to talk over everything whenever
there is an emergency. This invention is and will
become extremely beneficial in the years to come.
New teacher strives to inspire
Ms. Fett joins FMHS staff
by Corinne Bowden and Melissa Hubble
As you know, this year at Fort Myers High
School we have many new teachers. One of the
many is Ms. Stacey Fett, who teaches Biology
and Marine Science. She has been teaching for
seventeen years. She had previously taught
Biology and Physical Education here at FMHS
from 1990 to 1995. Ms. Fett also coached Track
and Cross Country for five years, and one of her
star runners was Mrs. Kelly Heinzman-Britton,
the current Track and Cross Country coach.
Ms. Fett grew up and attended high school
in Ilion, New York. Later, she attended
Cortland State University also in New York.
She played basketball in both high school and
college. She was also an All-American Cross
Country and Track runner at Cortland State.
She was inspired by those who taught her, and
wants to do the same for her students today. “I
wanted to try and make a difference in young
people’s lives by inspiring and challenging

Band members now more uniform
by Daniela Patino and Morgan Frink
After eleven years of the same
uniform, our FMHS band has finally
gotten a new ensemble. Every ten
to twelve years, the Lee County
School District provides a school
with funding for new uniforms,
and this year was our turn. Costing
around $55,000 dollars, the
band is anxious to show
off their new uniforms!
Students say that it is
a much more efficient
uniform and they are
easier to wear then the old
ones with both the zippers
and the pockets now in
the front. The dancers
also received new outfits,
and new concert gowns
and tuxedos were also bought.

them through coaching and teaching.
I want my students to always
do their best, and work hard at
everything they pursue,” said Ms. Fett.
Ms. Fett has one daughter, Kayla Fett, a
freshman here at FMHS. In her spare time,
she says, “I’m constantly in the car driving
my daughter to and from the Ballet Studio.
And of course I go to watch our sports teams
at night.” She has a dog named Molly and her
favorite foods include chicken caesar salad and
pizza. Her favorite color is of course, green.
To her high school students and future college
students, “My advice would be to get involved
here at FMHS. There are endless clubs and sports
teams to join and you can become involved
with the band, chorus, and drama. Don’t be shy
or afraid to get involved, just go for it. I would
also advise young people to always pursue
their dreams and never, ever give up on them.”
“I love the block scheduling.”
The new uniforms are decorated with
gold so that in performances the members
will “shine.” “The gold refracts the
light like a prism effect,” says Band
Director, Mr. Dahlberg. On the old
uniforms there was a stripe on the leg,
and when marching this stripe screamed
whether you were in or out of
step. Mr. Dahlberg’s
reasons for liking the
new uniforms better,
is that, they make
every student
look thinner,
the shoulders
stand up and
push out making
them look
broader, which in turn
makes the body, appear
“I love the teachers and the students at
FMHS.”
thinner. The tall hat and plume will
also make everybody seem taller.
This is important when trying to
make everyone look uniform.
The process of getting new
uniforms takes about a year.
Last year all the band members
at the school got fitted for the
upcoming uniforms.
The design has to be
drawn up, and after that
a sample will be sent
back to the school to
make sure everything is
sewn together properly.
Parents and students are
able to give input for
the design, but overall
the director knows what
will look good on the field.

An incentive to raise F-CAT Reading
Developmental Scale scores at FMHS
“F-CAT is pointless- you only need to pass!” or “Test is too easy” or “It is not important to get
beyond a 3” or “No need to score high for college”. These comments were the responses of
Fort Myers High School students in 2005. It was a time when school and district wide scores
were on a decline. The Social Studies Department proposed an incentive to improve all FMHS
10th grade F-CAT Reading Developmental Scale Scores. Those Level 1, 2, 3 and 4 Students
who achieve an individual 78 point DSS or Developmental Scale Score increase in Reading
and those Students who maintain Level 5 and increase their DSS by 1 or more points on the
2008 F-CAT Reading could be eligible for an exam exemption in their 11th grade Social Studies
courses for Spring of 2009. These students must also meet the following criteria:
•Earned an “A” or “B” in the course for both quarters
•An exam exemption form, signed by parents and teacher.
•The semester grade will be calculated by the average of the 3rd and 4th quarter grades.
Once again this February, announcements and posters advertising this incentive will be placed
in the 10th Grade Social Studies Classes and on WAVE TV. We hope this incentive will continue
to shift our F-CAT Reading Scores into the “GAINS” column!
