Wave swimmers begin season with confidence
Teams win at Shark Relays
By Gabi Hersch
Put on your swimsuits! It’s that time again. Swim season is here, and one thing is for sure,
the Green Wave is going to show Lee County who dominates the water.
Coach Janeen Overman predicts that this season, the swim team is “gonna continue to be
strong in Lee County.” Motivated by Cape Coral winning last year, FMHS swim team is going
to work hard to defeat them this year. Be ready for the Green Wave to take the first place
title!
Cross Country runs to win
Story and Photo by Gabi Hersch
Anyone unfamiliar with the acronym, XC it stands for crosscountry.
Cross-country season started sooner than you can say
“five k”. The first competitive race, Optimist, was hosted by the
Green Wave on September 25.
“[This season, I expect] for the team to pull together, become
leaders, and to be competitive in all of the elite meets.” Coach
Kelly stated. Coach Palmer reported a run-down of his goals.
“We’re training to win LCAC (Lee County Athletic Conference),
qualify for the state finals, and place in the top eight. Last
year we placed fourteenth.”
“We talk about our competitors and realize we have to work just
as hard. And we just try to have fun.” Coach Palmer says.
The boys’ team captains: Jacob Jansen, senior, and Ryan Stafford,
senior, are stepping up and are doing a great job leading, despite
the loss of last year’s seniors. The girls lost some important runners
to college last year as well. When asked how the losses will
affect the team, Coach Kelly answered thoughtfully:
“It depends on who on the team will step up and take their spot.
We lost a lot of leaders. But we can overcome that.” Last years
seniors left big shoes to fill, but no need to fear. There are a plethora
of team members who continuously show leadership qualities.
To run by some of the returning runners to look for, Coach
Palmer names some of his top guys.
Ryan Stafford (senior), Ace Brown (sophomore), Alex Bautista
(sophomore), Peter Rivera (sophomore), and James Middle (junior).
There are many incoming runners, but noticeably Cyril Kurland
(sophomore), Brendan Shearman (junior), and Brendan McGonagle
(sophomore) are a few you should look for on the guys’
team.
New runners to watch out for on the girls’ team are Ami Patel
(junior) and Tori Cook (sophomore). Are there any returning
runners to look for on the girls’ team?
“Yes. Sarah Spann,
4th in States last
year, Alex
Wall, Chloe
Smiley, Efe
C u d j o e . . .
Coach Kelly
starts off.
“Give me a
list. I think all
of the returning
runners
are going
to improve.
Watch out
for the whole
team!”
X-Country runners: Megan Griffin,
Amelia Linde, Tori Cook, Jessica
Miller and Hollis Bartlett.
Last year’s team boasted several State champions who are now swimming in college. The
seniors of 2010 were a great part of the team, but this year FMHS has a lot of hard workers and
the team is “still looking good.”
Green Wave had an excellent first meet.
“We wiped Mariner out. Dominated!” Coach Overman proudly says. Some wonderfully talented
swimmers are returning and some are new. A few Seniors are: Stephanie Martinez, Matt
Burztyn, and John Therrien.
Freshmen are very important as well. The future of the FMHS is in good hands, though. Some
Freshmen who Coach Overman is eager to see throughout the season are: Jessica Hurley, Blake
Woodrow, Logan Samuelson, and Aaron Spence.
“[Everything is] looking really exciting. A lot of good Sophomores and Juniors.” Coach
Overman smiles.
In the Shark Relays, a competition hosted by Gulf Coast High School where the Green Wave
faced 14 other teams, FMHS represented green and white exceptionally well. Totally destroying
the competition in nine out of the fourteen competitions, two new records were set by your
very own Green Wave swim team. In the end, FMHS boys had an end score of 494 points,
while the host team Gulf Coast resulted in second, an overwhelming 68 points behind. Not
even the Sharks rule the water like the Green Wave.
The girls finished wonderfully as well , accomplishing second place only 32 points behind the
leading girls team, Gulf Coast. A job well done to everyone on the Green Wave swim team!
“We love people to come out and cheer.” Coach Overman states. So do not be shy! Come
out and support your fellow Greenies in their swim meets. Their practices take place at the
Golfview Pool and their home meets occur at the Deleon Pool. This season looks like it has
started with a splash. See you by the pool.
Greenies deal with crosstown Cape rivalry
By Sarah Correnti
The Green Wave football season has started out with a
bang. Students can sense the excitement surging through
the halls. The FMHS spirit is at a new level, pumping the
team with energy.
On Sam Sirianni Night, the Greenies faced Cape Coral,
but didn’t get the chance to walk away with a victory.
The final score was 29-8. The game was delayed due to
rain and lightning, but that didn’t stop the Green Wave
from giving it their all. When the game finally got started
the Green Wave team didn’t give up.
On Thursday, September 17, the fight against Dunbar
turned in the Wave’s favor as they dominated at Tiger’s
Stadium. The Green Wave came out on top with a win,
19 - 7. It was a hard fought game but the team broke

another victory.
Sophomore T.J. Douglas connected with Senior James
Whitfield for a vital 10-yard pass followed by four catches
that helped the Green Wave dominate. When asked,
Whitfield said, “It was great- my first touchdown since
coming back from the injury.” He suffered through a knee
injury which caused him to miss most of last season, but
it is not holding him back this year.
The Green Wave must win upcoming district games in
order to make the playoffs. Spirit drives the team to win,
so be sure to come and support the Green Wave as they
drown Charlotte tonight at 7:00PM.

Atlantis welcomes Greenies to an
underwater Homecoming
By Emily Kaske
Don’t worry, Greenies! The lost continent of Atlantis
comes back to life as FMHS celebrates Homecoming 2010.
Homecoming will be held Saturday, October 16, 8:00 PM
to 11PM at Harborside Event Center in downtown Ft. Myers.
The annual tradition of Homecoming is one of the biggest events of the
school year. During Homecoming, past graduates
of the school return to their Alma Mater and
are commemorated at a home football game. The
Greenies face the Estero Wildcats Friday evening,
October 15, at 7:30 PM for this year’s game.
One of the most popular aspects of Homecoming week is the Dress-
Up Days. This year will be no exception. On Monday, October 11 ,
keep your pajamas on for Pajama Day. Powderpuff Volleyball takes
place in the main gym at 5:00 PM and Powderpuff Football well be
held in the stadium at 7:00 PM. The paparazzi will be here on Tuesday,
October 12, for Celebrity Look-Alike Day. Hallway decorating
takes place after school, and movie night is at 7:00 PM in the stadium.

Volleyball flattens Verot!
By Rachael Schaaf and Whitney Letourneau
Plan on “Finding Nemo” for free! Wednesday, October 13, is Class
Pride day, so get your greenie gear ready for Greenie Growl in the
Stadium at 7:00 PM. Thursday, October 14, Greenie Grub Day will
be on a pep rally schedule, in order to allow time for Taste of the
Greenies at 1:00 PM. Varsity Volleyball will play Venice at home at
7:00 PM. It’s a White Out game! Friday, October 15, the actual day
of the Homecoming game, will be “Atlantis”
Day, so wear your most sea-worthy attire!
What would the inhabitants of Atlantis wear?
SCUBA gear, perhaps! Because the legend of
Atlantis is found in Greek mythology, a toga
would be suitable. Shirts with fish designs, an outfit all in the color aqua
or maybe a mermaid costume would fit the mold. Any creative theme
that revolves around the sea will bring the spirit of Atlantis to life.
Prior to the game, the homecoming court parade will take
place at 7:00 PM in the stadium. The crowning of homecoming
king and queen will be during the halftime show.
Don’t forget to wear your green as we defeat the Wildcats!

Who says clubbing
is a bad thing?
By Liam Corkell
A student at FMHS is the embodiment of
academic integrity. But it’s unfortunate that
more of the student body doesn’t take advantage
of the extracurricular activities offered.
Clubs are an opportunity for students to gain
experience outside of the 7:15-1:45 time constraint.
Like any opportunity, clubs come in all
shapes and sizes from smaller, casual groups
like Chess Club, to the larger, active groups
like the Green Wave Marching Band. FMHS
offers a little bit of everything so that any student
can find something extra to add to their
high school experience. Whether it’s sports,
music, cinematography, mathematics, or even
political science and debate, FMHS has a club
for it.
Mr. LaRosa frequently encourages students
to get involved with everything that they can
manage so as to fully maximize the advantages
of being a student of FMHS. Joining a club
provides several academic advantages to a
student, especially when applying to college.
There’s no excuse to neglect playing a larger
role in the FMHS experience. Every student
should look for something to add the their high
school life. FMHS has something extra for everyone;
students just have to look for them.
Lighthouse was added, small shells in front were taken away, shark jaws were moved to the right, small whelk shell was added to
the group at the left, lightning whelk is standing up, small piece of coral was added in front of the castle, large mollusk shell was added
in front of the conch, starfish was added, tiny fish was added in front of sand castle, swimming goggles were added.
A few weeks ago, the biggest game of the season for
the girl’s volleyball team took place at 7:00 PM in
the Wave Cave. On September 15th, many supportive
fans came out to cheer on the players as they took
on the Vikings. The game was an ongoing battle,
not only between the teams, but the fans too.
Many fans would agree that FMHS’s
school spirit helped lead the team
to victory. FMHS won in four
games with scores of 25-20,
25-20, 13-25, and 25-19. The
four Senior captains played very
hard with Brittany Brinson contributing 18 kills and 17 digs and Marissa
Marazzi with 10 kills and 20 digs. Jessica Potanovic also had 17
digs and Kristin Shotwell had 40 assists. The atmosphere in the gym
was intense as both schools waited for the final outcome. Coach
Steph Martin was very happy with the result of the game and said,
“I’m proud of my girls for stepping up after these past three years.
After struggling in the third game, we came back out on top!” Senior,
Erin Basinait, chipped in with her 22 digs along with Molly Oak’s
four kills. Junior, Alyssa Goldenhart, had 10 kills and two blocks.
The FMHS JV volleyball team also beat Verot in an exciting third
match! The entire night was truly a Wave domination!
Make sure to come out and support the rematch which will be
held at Verot’s gym on October 19. FMHS will need as many
fans possible to overcome Verot’s confidence on their
home floor!

New faces turning green!
New teachers and administrators join the Green
Wave family
By Jelise Singh
Who are these people and where did they come from? They
are the new addition to the Green Wave nation. FMHS has
14 new teachers for this school year. The new faculty members
have a wide range of talent. Several were able to take
a few minutes from their busy schedules to share a little of
their backgrounds.
Biology teacher Roxi Bradway attended University of
Nebraska and Arizona State University. Mrs. Bradway was
an Assistance Strength Coach at
both UN and ASU. Mrs. Bradway
was in the Airforce as a Fitness
Program Manager. She designed
the conditioning workouts for her
athletes. Her achievements are
unique and are certain to be the
first of their kind at FMHS.
Another addition to the staff is
Mr. Rod Gadson. He was born
in Fort Myers and is an alumni
of FMHS. After high school, Mr.
Gadson attended Syracuse Uni-
versity on a football scholarship.
His football accomplishments are
amazing and will be highlighted
in a future issue.
Angela Grant, a graduate of “Ole Miss” received her B.A.
in art history and minored in studio art. Mrs. Grant joined
FMHS, because she not only has a daughter in Pre-IB, but
she was thrilled to be a “Greenie.”
The new TV Production teacher, Kelly Metivia, attended
Central Michigan University. She anchored and reported
for NBC2 and ABC7 news stations for over seven years
before joining FMHS. Ms. Metivia coaches the JV cheerleaders
after school.
The new Assistant Principal for Student Affairs, Mr. Stewart,
was a physics and chemistry teacher. Mr. Stewart loves
to play his guitar, golf and fish during his free time.
Mr. Charles Escarra teaches Pre-IB Algebra and SAT
Math. He attended Edison College and the US Coast Guard
Academy. Mr. Escarra is, “enjoying the school spirit,” of

Academic Awards
and Honors
Senior Liam Corkell: Star Student of the Month
The first Star Student of the Month Award
went to Tidal Wave News Editor Liam Corkell.
Now, how does one become a Star student?
Each teacher nominates one of their students
that they feel has displayed characteristics
that best represent FMHS. Perseverance, academic
integrity, and overall responsibility are
what teachers search for in students when they
submit a name for a chance to be selected.
All the students that were nominated are examples
of what every student at FMHS should
aspire too, and each is of equal qualification.
So to allow every nominee a fair shot at the
award, a students name is drawn at random
from all the nominees, and this month’s winner
was Liam Corkell.
Liam says, “To be the recipient of this award
is truly an honor. I always strive to achieve
Liam Corkell
the best results from al my endeavors and this
event only serves to motivate me to push forward
with confidence and success.” Liam is
an IB senior, News Editor for the FMHS Tidal
Wave, and a member of the Green Wave Music
Department. Liam says that his true calling
has always been for history. He intends to
go on in life to be a history professor after his
college education is complete.
SPECIAL FEATURE: Affecting Student Health
ACL injuries are a constant threat to young athletes
Three Greenies sidelined by painful knee injury
By Emily Campbell
This year at FMHS many Green Wave athletes
can be seen limping around the halls.
Perhaps the most popular injury is an ACL,
(Anterior cruciate ligament) tear. Greenies
Dylan Difalco, Matt Yance, and Colton
Ely have all experienced this injury while
playing their sport. However, they are all
sure they will be back to 100 percent.
Matt’s injury happened during a
basketball game where he fell on his
knee, and had someone else fall on
his leg. The pain was instant, and the
only thing running through his head
was the thought “Can I play again?”
He had to undergo surgery, and wears
a brace around his knee for the healing
process of six to eight months.
Dylan Difalco tore his ACL playing
football, and similar to Matt the
pain was instant. He also was hoping
throughout the healing process that he
could return to his sport. Unfortunately,
he won’t be recuperated in time for
football this year, but he can be seen
cheering his team on from the sidelines.
Colton Ely had a different story than
his fellow athletes. Like them, he tore
his ACL during a soccer game, but he
did not have surgery. Colton went through a
different process with stem cell research. He
speaks very highly of the process, and suggests
it over surgery. When he felt the pain
near his knee, he said he first reaction was
“I’ll be back playing tomorrow, no big deal.”
As everything played out, he was wrong.
Stem cell research is an upcoming alternative
to surgery. For Colton, the doctor began
with blood. The blood was then placed
with the extracted growth platelets and
added to human growth hormone, which
serves the same purpose of a steroid. The
mixture was injected back into his ACL.
Colton’s doctor has had a 100 percent
success rate, and has also helped his patients
return to the sports they love to play.
One in 3000 people will tear their ACLs
during their lifetime. This statistic would
confirm what Colton said, “My injury
was more of a freak accident. There
was no way I could’ve prevented it.”
The tear occurs when the foot is planted
firmly in the ground, and the knee pivots,

twists, or overextends. When torn, the way
the knee operates adjusts to create pressure
on the meniscus and articular covering
of the femur and tibia. Therefore,
many ACL tears are closely accompanied
by a torn meniscus, like Dylan’s injury.
Minor ACL injuries can go unnoticed at the
site of the tear, but within a few hours, intense
pain and swelling with begin to occur. Even
with a slight tear, the knee will feel unstable,
and frequently give out. The severe tears
have immediate pain, and right when the
tear occurs, a popping sound can be heard.
After the injury, an athlete should have
two goals for recovery. One being to mini-
Job hunting takes persistence
Young workers face tough competition
By: Samantha Hullstrung and Molli Collins
Many high school students feel enormous
stress and tension when the search begins for
their first job. Activities such as academics,
sports, clubs, volunteering, and other extracurricular
activities make it difficult to fit a
part time job into the schedule. Some parents
encourage their children to get jobs to
prepare them for “the real world,” but many
teenagers want to take the initiative and earn
their own spending money.
According to The Nation Magazine, 26.1%
of adolescents from 16 to 19 years old are
jobless and searching; adults in the labor
force are also unemployed due to the economy.
This increases the level of difficulty for
teenagers competing for jobs against more
experienced workers. Recently, the McDonald’s
Corporation held a job fair in Cape Coral.
Over 400 people showed up for 26 available
positions. According to MSNBC, future
job opportunities will also be in jeopardy if
students do not start working in high school.
Summer and holiday jobs are
typically the most convenient
for full time students, however,
many adults are now taking the
jobs that were traditional beginning
jobs for teenagers.
Students often look forward
to working during the winter
break. Most retailers hire additional
help to handle the increase
in holiday shoppers. It
is not too early to start looking
for those jobs! “Competition is
tough, and in today’s economy
it pays to plan ahead,”
advises The Nation Magazine.
Nailing a job interview takes
persistence and enthusiasm.

mize side to side difference, (left leg vs. right leg) in the muscle mass
and strength. The second should be to minimize different motions between
legs, and difficult athletic maneuvers. Recovery is just as important
as the surgery, or healing process. Physical therapy is vital, and the full
recovery takes six to twelve months. ACL injuries are often the kiss of
death for athletes, causing them to miss their season entirely in most cases.
ACL patients should remember that after they have their surgery they
must make every effort to increase their strength and flexibility in the injured
knee. Weakness in the knee can be easily eliminated by strength exercises,
but if ignored, future surgery will be required to fix a stiff knee.
ACL tears are difficult to prevent, and are rare. However, if an ACL tear occurs,
the patient must take action quickly to avoid pain for the rest of their life.

ers. Another important step is following
up after the interview, showing commitment
and initiative. It is beneficial to
follow up with a letter of thanks to reassure
the interviewer of qualifications and
interest in the job. Julia Leal, a Junior at
FMHS, obtained her job at The Polo Store
through extreme persistence, “I went in
several times after applying to follow
up.” This method worked for Julia; she
has worked at Polo for six months. When
asked how she felt about her job, Julia replied,
“I love my job!”
School is the number one priority for
most teenagers, but there are also many
relevant reasons to get a job. For example,
teens with unemployed family members
may work to help pay the bills. MSNBC
says students are also trying to earn money
for college. Additionally, parents encourage
their children to obtain jobs as better
preparation for adulthood.
Students can be positively effected by
jobs. Not only will it increase their work
experience for the future, but it will motivate
them to stay in school and attain
the skills they will need to succeed later
in life.
“Vampires Suck”
Vampires Suck is yet another movie from “the parody
guys.” This movie parodies the ever-so-loved and ever-so-hated
Twilight series. Being their tenth parody, it
is clear to see that with each installment, they run out
of good material. And when they run out of good material,
they compensate it with endless stupidity. People
watch these movies for one of two reasons: they’re so
stupid that they’re funny, or the way they parody the
original movie is really clever. However, this movie
“The Expendables”
The Expendables is a rare example of an allstar cast
starring in a lower-than-average film. The movie stars
all of the best action heroes in Hollywood -- Sylvester
Stallone, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Bruce Willis, Steve
“Stone Cold” Austin, and Arnold Schwarzenegger --
and features the weakest storyline of the year. With a
lack of a believable plot, the film focuses on a biker
gang that also works for the government. The Expend-
Astronauts will soon
awaken to public
choice tunes
Astronauts’ final playlists
to be chosen by you!
By Amelia Rosen
I grew up dreaming of the enchantment of space travel
and hoping that one day I would be able to experience
it for myself. Sadly, the dreams of children from generations
to come will not be occupied by the same cosmic
ambitions. Space travel may one day be a reality, but
the Space Shuttle Program is coming to an end. Only
two more missions will launch, but everyone has an opportunity
to be a part of them! All who are interested in
fulfilling their astronomical dreams are able to vote and
help decide which wakeup songs will be played for the
astronauts on the final missions.
It may seem odd that rousing music is a top priority
for the shuttle operations, but, in fact, music has been
awakening astronauts since the Apollo missions. During
the early quests, the shuttle teams were serenaded
by colleagues in mission control; they sang popular
songs of the era. From the first missions to the present
launches, the wakeup music has been selected by flight
controllers and crewmembers’ loved ones. The array
of songs is diverse. Every so often, the tunes even include
dialogue from movies and TV shows! Until now,
NASA management has purposefully avoided allowing
outsiders or itself to influence the song choice. They
steered clear of permitting public guidance, because the
sole purpose of the wakeup song is to evoke a sense
of camaraderie between the shuttle members and crew.
They believed that an outside influence would diminish
this sense of brotherhood. After much consideration,
NASA sensed that it was time to alter their wakeup
song principals.
was right in the middle. The “stupid” tactic usually
works, but Vampires Suck wasn’t stupid enough to
be funny, and it definitely wasn’t original enough to
be clever. Fans of these parody movies would say
that this movie is lacking the spontaneous jokes that
the other movies had, and much of the originality.
Final grade : F. If you’re looking for a good Twilight
parody, go on Youtube. You’ll find a lot more
originality.
ables marks the lowest point of all of these actors’
careers, loaded with endless forgettable dialogue and
missing action that could’ve proved useful. It also
proves that Stallone should stick to stunts, and stay
away from directing.
Final grade: D +. If a movie has legendary action
stars, it should have some actual action in it.
Just My Opinion
Because of the management’s newfound musical
mentality, everyone is able to participate in choosing
the wakeup songs for the final two missions! For the
second to last shuttle, STS-133, a list of 40 previously
played songs is available for voting until the date of the
launch, November 1, 2010. All voting will take place
on the NASA website: https://songcontest.nasa.gov/.
The two most selected songs from the assortment will
be used to wake the mission’s astronauts. As for the
final shuttle, STS-134, people are able to submit their
own original songs for public voting through January
10, 2011. The original works will be screened by a
NASA panel and uploaded to the internet for public
voting, which will take place February 8, 2011 through
the STS-134 launch date of February 26, 2011. These
contests grant the Green Wave nation a chance to participate
in a national decision! If all students and faculty
members vote for their favorite tunes or upload their
own tracks for voting, FMHS is sure to influence the
melodies heard on the final two missions. As the Space
Shuttle Program comes to a close, anyone, Greenies
included, who’s dreamt of the magic of space has the
opportunity to alter the course of astronomical history
forever!
