Skiing? No, Skinning
The sport for when you can’t stand another Cloudchaser lift line or a Summit chair breakdown
By Reese Campbell
Staff Writer
Each
year
when
Mount
Bachelor
opens its lodges
and lifts for locals
and tourists, every skier,
snowboarder, nordic skier
and snowshoer plans to head up
to the mountain and enjoy some
fresh snow. However, as each winter
returns it becomes harder and
harder to find untouched and uncrowded
spots to carve. So what’s
the alternative? There’s always the
sled hill. But for days when that
won’t cover it, there’s skinning.
For anyone who’s unfamiliar
with the sport, skinning
is basically a skier version of a
hike. You stick long pieces of what
could only be explained as tape
with a smooth fur on the side
facing down. Using the “fur” side
as grip, the skins can travel up
steep terrain. Skinning was first
introduced in 1555 when fawn
skins were used to get a grip on
the bottom of shoes. Now, skins
come in different lengths, colors
and shapes. There are different
accessories for every skinner, like
climbing wires, ski crampons and
telemark knee pads. All of this
just to get some runs past four
o’clock.
With the majority of
mountain teens staying on
groomers,
the
idea of hiking up Bachelor for a
few hours isn’t really the idea of
casual skiing.
Yet, there’s a few kids who
understand the need for backcountry
skiing.
“Backcountry skiing is
when you rely on your own body
to cross the train, and doing so
you don’t go up a chair lift,” said
Summit junior Anja Bond Welch.
“Instead, you put skins on the
bottom of your skis, which I like,
so you can glide up the mountain.”
Bond Welch started
skinning at age 13 and has only
evolved since.
“I first started out staying
after closing with my brother,
seeing how many times we could
ski up and down the Cone till
it got too dark to see in front of
us,” Bond Welch said. “I got more
experience through skinning
Tumalo
and taking
multiple AVI
courses.”
Eventually
she graduated from the
Cone-level terrain, “I started
going more advanced when I was
14.”
Now she’s skinning anywhere
from the top of the Cone to
Tam McArthur in Washington—
also experiencing some serious
hiking and backcountry skiing.
Twinning with Bond
Welch’s burn for backcountry
is senior Peter Doorn. To kick
off the season, Doorn woke up
around 4:00 in the morning to go
skinning for the very first time.
He headed up to Bachelor with
friends to squeeze in some early
morning runs before school. Since
it was his first time, he didn’t have
much to base his experience on.
“It’s extremely cold and
you’re breathing hard the entire
time,” said Doorn. “Your legs can
get very heavy and sometimes you
can slip out of your gear, it’s hard
when it’s steep but get the hang of
it pretty fast.”
While Doorn and Bond
Welch aren’t the only ones getting
into the backcountry, skinning is
not
the talk of
the town.
“Teens
aren’t really who you
typically hear talking about
it,” said an anonymous Summit
sophomore.
The sport has definitely
lost some of its appeal as it’s not
the most common of mountain
sports, but it deserves more
attention. Luckily, magazines like
Powder and Backcountry foster its
reputation with tutorials on how
to work the gear, advice on where
to buy equipment and tips to get
started.
Not nearly enough people
have tapped into what it is to
skin. It’s a perfect way to escape
the lines, the beginner skiers, the
wind held lifts, and to reconnect
with what it means to ski the
backcountry.

This Week, a Hot New
Blondshell Enters the Villa!
Sabrina Teitelbaum’s latest creative reinvention hits all at once—“like sepsis”
Lindsey pease
Crest Editor
Hunched bare-chested
to a laptop, propped at a sink
in ruffly mesh lingerie and
seated, brushing teeth, in the
same underwear set, is Sabrina
Teitelbaum as Blondshell.
Three songs released over
three months. New York native
Teitelbaum’s triptych of intimate
black-and-white debut singles
spanned the summer—June
revealing somber “Olympus,”
July bringing angsty “Kiss City”
and August presenting a mildly
melodramatic, Hole-inspired
“Sepsis.”
But she didn’t stop there.
Before this reinvention,
Teitelbaum made music as
BAUM, an epitomized-pop
identity stemming from her
own surname with a sound
indistinguishable from the rest of
the 2017 top charts. But after all
but wiping BAUM’s discography
from Spotify, leaving just a 2020
single and its subsequent remix,
Teitelbaum has retired that
three-year identity in favor of a
newer, more masculine twist on a
trademark Marilyn Monroe label.
And now, she’s a modern
Patti Smith. She’s a Lucy Dacus
little sister. She’s PJ Harvey circa
1993. An Olsen twin meets Carrie
Bradshaw—Teitelbaum’s got the
look.
She has this unique ability
to elevate every song’s
energy somewhere smack dab
in the middle, a level up from
mellow to messy microphone.
“Olympus” and “Sepsis” do this
best, both kicking into doubly
desperate testimony at the
middle mark.
And while this new
persona is still built around
BAUM’s integral confessional
nature, Teitelbaum’s reinvention
has ditched pop-princess polish.
Blondshell is gentle.
Intimate. Raw.
“Cartoon Earthquake”
epitomized this stripped-down
style, matching Teitelbaum’s
debut summer singles with
her already-signature sepiatint
sound and unabashed
melodrama. This dreamy,
grunge-pop release was
the product of Spotify’s
“Fresh Finds” discovery
program. An initiative
launched in May
2021, Spotify works to
provide the tools and
resources independent
artists need to
guarantee long-term
career success for upand-coming
artists.
Now signed with
Partisan Records, an
label that represents
artists like Cigarettes
After Sex and Ezra
Collective, Teitelbaum
is carving a name
for herself. “Veronica
Mars,” released four
months after Blondshell’s
summer debut series, is
short and sweet—burning
of bittersweet nostalgia.

Who Even is Lili Joy?
An excerpt on an upcoming star
Avery ruhl
Website Manager
Nineteen-year-old singer,
songwriter and instrumentalist Lili
Joy is slowly but surely making her
way into the music industry. Growing
up in Chino Hills, California and
posting covers of songs on YouTube
for most of her teenage years, Joy
“Life and all its
changes inspires
my writing”
Lili Joy
Singer/songwriter
caught the attention of “The
Voice” in 2019 and ended
up on Blake Shelton’s
Season 16 team. Although
getting eliminated during
a battle against Carter
Lloyed Horne didn’t ruin the
passion Joy has for singing
and writing, she still succeeds
today. After getting her name
out to the world, Joy—at
sixteen years-old worked—
with co-writer John
Velazquez to help create
a single in 2019, a three
song EP titled “Colors
You Can’t See.”
Joy connects
with her fans through
lyrics referring to
everything that takes
up space in a person’s
hearts and mind, which
sometimes is filled with
shame and fear. And in
her dreamy single she
expresses what takes up
space for her.
“Life and all
its changes and seasons
inspires my writing,” said
Joy. “The transition from
girlhood to womanhood
has been a huge
inspiration to my
work as well.”
While on
“The Voice,” judge
Gwen Stefani described
Joy’s singing style as
“beautiful,
tender and feminine,” and her recent
releases feature piano, bass, violin and
other instruments that flow perfectly
with her gentle and inviting vocals.
From
6.8K
listeners
around the world to
this year being at 29.8K
listeners on Spotify, Joy
has grown her audience
an extreme amount just in
the past year and will only
continue from here.
“Lili Joy has a really sick
sense of style to her, and her
music is not even close to
another artist that sounds like
her,” said Summit junior Reese
Riley.
Joy’s latest release is one of
her more rhythmic and euphonious
songs. Rated her top song of the
year, “Dahlia” starts off relaxed, then
picks up to a more lively tone to put
listeners in a joyful mood.
“I just recently started
listening to her because one of her
more known songs ‘Dahlia’ is one
of my favorites,” said Summit senior
Chloe Jackson.
Joy emphasizes that the
artists she collaborates with in her
music are people that she has
already built friendships
with and feels closer to.
Collaborating with her
friends has made Joy’s
experiences that much
more enjoyable ever
since she was a young
girl.
“I met Kayla Seeber
while on ‘The Voice’
and Kairo Luna in
high school,” Joy said.
“Collaborating with them
has been such an incredible
experience and it really feels like
we can operate together on the same
wavelength.”
Joy’s voice showcases
“The transition
from girlhood
to womanhood
has been a huge
inspiration to my
work as well”
Lili Joy
Singer/songwriter
emotions that connect to her
audience in a way that makes her
fans want to keep grasping onto her
and her lyrics. From retrospective
“Dahlia” to a cover of Nancy Sinatra’s
“These Boots are Made for Walkin,’”
Joy has her fans dancing in their
room on full b
last to feeling like you’re laying in an
open field on a spring day. Lili Joy
should be at the top of your playlist.
P.S she has her first ever
album coming at the beginning of the
new year, 2023!

My family and I are crazy
about food. Well, I guess we
should be, considering we own
Ariana’s and have been in the
food industry for years. What we
love most about food: the way a
simple ingredient can transform
into something undoubtedly
delicious. We took a few weeks
out of our busy lives and ventured
out on a food-themed trip in
Copenhagen.
When we arrived in the
city, it was an 8 minute walk
from our hotel to one of the most
bizarre, yet delicious restaurants,
Noma. Devoting themselves to
using products strictly native
to Denmark and foraged by the
chefs, Noma creates dishes the
average person would never in a
million years think about eating.
When we walked in we were
escorted by a staff member to a
beautiful greenhouse filled with
vegetables, herbs and fruits—this
was our waiting room. After
being seated we were met with a
cup of freshly brewed elderflower
tea.
A few minutes later,
we walked through a grand
archway—giant deer antlers and
dead ducks nailed to the wall—
thus marking our arrival to the
“ Game and Forest” season. The
restaurant changes their menu
between every season, alternating
“Ocean”, “Vegetable”and “Game
and Forest”. Although local
game and vegetables throughout
the region are present in all
four seasons, it is especially
highlighted in “Game and Forest”.
Join me for a quick
glimpse into the best and
certainly weirdest dishes I tried
within Noma’s sixteen course
tasting menu.
Our first course was
served. Grilled reindeer heart
cooked over an open flame and
presented over a bed of fresh pine
tree branches, and accompanied
by a juniper bearnaise sauce. The
flavor of the heart was tender and
sweet, but not too gamey—which
would result in a bitter texture. To
put it simply, it was delicious.
The third dish, notably
one of the more interesting
courses and by far the strangest
flavor combination, was
composed of dried fruits filled
with bee pollen and coated in
rabbit oil. Perhaps the unique
flavor results from the sweet
fruit and meaty rabbit flavor.
Eating My Way Through Co
By Gabi Fernandez
Staff Writer
Keep in mind, all
appetizers and desserts were
paired not only with wine but
with juice as well—an uncommon
occurrence in fine dining. Our
second course, served with
chanterelle ancho chili juice,
was dished out in minutes after
our first plate. A reindeer brain
custard layered with a pheasant
jelly and covered in bee pollen
was plated in the better half of a
reindeer skull. The flavor of the
jelly was savory and a bit chewy—
an odd texture—which paired well
with the silky and soft custard.
The grittiness of the bee pollen
gave the dish a well needed, yet
light, crunch.
As a few more courses
passed, a dish so bewildering was
served in front of me. Rosehip
berries and sliced apples covered
in a rosewater sauce served
with SCOBY—a colony of living
bacteria and yeast born when
kombucha is made. The dish
was extremely mind boggling,
the tangy apples and the crunch
of the rose hips along with the
incredibly odd texture and sweet
taste of the SCOBY is definitely a
dish that will never be forgotten.

penhagen: noma
Dessert
Another interesting
course was served—a deep-fried
fritter that was made with bear
meat. The fritter had a crunchy
exterior with a fluffy yet
dense interior. The bear had a
delicious pork-like flavor which
paired exquisitely with the bearblood
carmel you would lick off
a leaf.
Our first dessert course
was a saffron infused ice cream
covered in poppy seeds. Saffron
is a very expensive spice, Its
costliness has to do with its
time-consuming harvesting.
The ice cream was served in a
locally made beeswax bowl—
not edible by the way. The
flavor of the ice cream was full
of spice, it tasted creamy and
sweet, with the saffron giving
an earthy and peppery addition.
The bottom included a licorice
sauce drizzle.
During our last dessert
course, a round red candle was
lit at the table, and the waiters
would ask for you to blow it out.
However, we were unaware the
candle was actually the dessert!
The candle was made with
reindeer blood and marrow
along with an edible wick to top
it all off. When you took a bite
of the candle it felt like you were
eating a chewy, decadent piece
of caramel with a savory sweet
combination.
The remaining courses:
• Reindeer sweetbreads deepfried
with fried moss
• Quail egg wrapped in pickled
ramson
• Wild duck and truffle tart
• Reindeer penis ragout
• Fresh hazelnuts and caviar
• Cooked pumpkin with white
currant
After the last dish was
taken, we took a tour around
the restaurant and kitchen. The
restaurant was an adventure
for the taste buds, and as it
might seem bizarre to eat
these delicacies, Noma focuses
heavily on the creativity aspect
of culinary art.

A Deep
Dive Into
“Have A
Nice Life”
A deep dive into the discography and
background of the connecticut based duo
behind “Have A Nice Life”
By: Jackson Crocker
Crest Editor
In late 2000, during a
particularly brutal winter frost,
and in between bouts of violent
depression, Tim Macuga and Dan
Barrett formed a two man music
group dubbed: “Have A Nice Life”.
The pair quickly earned a
local reputation for demolishing
open mics with morbid acoustic
songs that were meant to “scare
the chai latte types,” as Barret put
it. Having never booked a gig and
certainly never garnering any
media attention the duo kept their
dark and moody pieces for dismal
nights and drunken afternoons.
“We never had any intention of
these songs existing in the flesh”
said Barret, however, after touring
basement shows and local open
venues for almost a decade,
Barrett’s father died.
Fueled by a deep sadness,
Macuga and Barrett pulled
from artists like “My Bloody
Valentine” and “Joy Division”
and laced their lyrics with
Nietzsche-like philosophy. The
product was the band’s 2008
album “Deathconsciousness”.
Produced with nearly no budget
and recorded mostly through the
microphone of a MacBook, the
album was a grimy, dark, race to
rock bottom drenched in static
and distortion. The album is an
amalgam of shoegaze guitar, post
punk progressions and emo vocals,
that manages to suck the light out
of a room and pull the stars from
the night sky.
Barrett’s hopelessness is
tangible and painful through the
entire project, grinding against
the listener through layers of lo-fi
drums and roaring guitar. The
album is an uncomfortable but
profoundly impactful listening
experience.
The subject matter of the
album is hardly any lighter, based
largely on a 70 page fictional
booklet—that may have been
written by Macuga—the album
follows the story of the character
Antiochas. The tracks weave their
way through events such as the
murder of god and groups like the
cult that worships the murderer.
Through the whole disjointed
story the themes of inevitable
suffering and death prevail,
rendering the album a thoroughly
hopeless piece.
Above all
“Deathconsciousness” is
exemplary as an album. Its
tracks are sparse and
borderline unlistenable
outside the context
of the LP aside
from some
standouts
like the

regretfully
triumphant
“Bloodhail”.
Despite this,
when combined the
songs create a dark sonic
landscape that is engrossing.
The album had less than a
thousand CDs burned on initial
release, and Macuga and Barrett
expected most of the copies to
collect dust in the bargain bin
section of local record stores.
Despite their low expectations
for the album’s commercial
performance, they released digital
issues of the LP on Bandcamp and
other similar online platforms.
While the duo’s predictions
about the CD sales were accurate,
“Deathconsciousness” quickly
gained traction online, amassing
a horde of loyal fans almost
immediately. “We saw an italian
magazine put it on the best albums
of the year list next to Portishead
and Meshuggah and thought,
‘oh my god, they think
we’re a real band!’” said
Barrett. Macuga,
who works as a
school teacher,
even recalls
one of
his
students
asking if he
was the “Have a
Nice Life guy?”
“Have A Nice Life’’
sporadically released music of the
next couple of decades, dropping
the EP “Time Of Land” in 2010,
their sophomore album “The
Unnatural World” in 2014, and
most recently their album “Sea Of
Worry” in 2019.
“Time Of Land” is a
humble but solid followup to
“Deathconsciousness”, sporting
an almost identical sound, mostly
down to the similar recording
equipment, and similarly inspired
lyrics and instrumentation.
More than anything the
EP is able to maintain
the same grandeur
and scale of
“Deathconsciousness”,
even in such a short
runtime.
The band’s second album
“The Unnatural World” is a
shorter, tighter album, without
losing its soul and becoming
too clinical. It doesn’t have a
“Bloodhail” or similar track,
and relies more on abstract
noise and negative space, rather
than grinding distorted guitar.
Interestingly the vocals are much
crisper, allowing the words
themselves to have a more
solid impact. Although
“The Unnatural
World” never
reaches the same
heights as the
duo’s first
project
it is
undoubtedly
still a strong
record.
Sadly the bands
latest project “Sea Of
Worry” is not as strong as
their previous two. That being
said the LP is still an amazingly
fresh and cohesive musical piece,
it simply fails to replicate the same
level of atmosphere as the bands
older projects. “Have A Nice Life”
undertook the difficult task of
overhauling their sound on this
record, the guitar is more readable,
the base is less prominent, and
much of the harsh abstract noise
is gone from this record. “Sea Of
Worry” plays as more of a goth
rock piece than anything else,
and it seems as though Macuga
and Barrett have much
harder time expressing
themselves through
this new medium.
Although half
baked in many
cases, the
tracks still hit
hard and make
for an interesting
listen. Additionally, the
duo’s decision to try a new
sound has produced a much
more approachable project for
new listeners.
“Have A Nice Life” has
a new album in the works, and
Macuga and Barrett each have a
myriad of solo projects, leaving
a sizable catalog of songs to
dive into. Although not their
strongest work, “Sea Of Worry”
is approachable enough to be a
good introduction to Barrett and
Macuga’s work for any who need
it. Although the duo’s sound may
be too abrasive for many, bands
as unique, consistent, and
inspired as “Have A Nice
Life” are few and far
between.

The sex appeal of a serial
killer, a different kind of TikTok
edit and a comment section full
of argumentative comments, all
wrapped up
into one. With
the background
music of Kesha’s
“Cannibal,” a compilation of Evan
Peters looking “sexy” as he plays
the serial killer, Jeffrey Dahmer,
conjures up comments ranging
from “Evan Peters is so hot, omg”
in all capital letters to “out of all
the characters you could choose,
why would you choose Dahmer.”
Other comments you’ll
find range from “MARRY ME”
or, “what kind of sick person does
this?”
?
?
A TikTok showing videos
of Ted Bundy with the words
“POV: you’re just an insanely
charming guy” had contrasting
comments of ill-timed jokes,
“w man I aspire to be him” and
disappointed viewers questioning
“why do people idolize killers.”
TikTok has become
a breeding ground for the
romanticization of killers.
These TikToks leave it up to the
comment section to debate where
to draw the line between innocent

characterize this serial
killer as if he’s not a bad
person”

fun and disturbing obsession.
TikTok edits are common.
Usually, they consist of an alluring
shirtless character or celebrity
doing absolutely nothing, but
still looking as enchanting as
ever. Now, instead of just edits of
actors from movies about fictional
?
murderers, murderers in real life
have become the center of this
attention.
One TikTok showcases a
man in an orange
jumpsuit and
handcuffs is sitting
in a courtroom,
licking his lips, with the “hot”
and “melting” emojis on the
screen. Is there anything hotter?
This man, Richard Ramirez—the
Night Stalker—was sentenced
to execution in this very same
courtroom after killing 13 people.
This knowledge did little to stop
people from drooling over him.
A culture of romanticizing
convicts and serial killers has
occurred in the past, consisting of
sending fan mail to prisoners or,
in extreme cases, people marrying
death row inmates. Still, a younger
generation of romanticization on
the internet has become more
prevalent due to the release of
“Dahmer—Monster: The Jeffrey
Dahmer Story” on Netflix in late
September.
This creepy idolization
of Dahmer after the release of
the movie close to Halloween
translated to a surge of costumes
depicting him. EBay has since
Serial Killers: Smash or Pass
?
The romanticization of serial killers
is more shameless than ever with the
release of the Dahmer show

?
?
banned costumes of Dahmer due
to its violence and violent criminal
policy stating that “listings that
promote or glorify violence or
violent acts, or are associated with
individuals who are notorious for
committing violent acts, are not
allowed.” Don’t worry though,
there are still costumes of other
serial killers.
And this
did not stop
individuals
from
dressing like Dahmer. With a wife
beater, loose blue jeans, blonde
hair or a wig, and a creepy pair of
big glasses, the look of a murderer
is complete.
On Halloween, after seeing
multiple costumes depicting
Jeffrey Dahmer, Anja Bond-Welch,
a Summit High School junior,
said, “I guess [the costumes]
matched but it was weird to kind
of characterize this serial killer as
if he’s not a bad dude.”
When it was first released
on Netflix, the Dahmer show
was listed under the typical
horror genre, but also the
“LGBTQ” genre. After a great
deal of backlash, this banner was
promptly removed, but this naive
listing had already amplified this
growing culture of serial killer
fetishes. The label “LGBTQ” placed
the show about a serial killer
raping and murdering black men
next to a show about a gay teenage
love story such as “Heartstopper.”
Jeffrey Dahmer was cast
using Evan Peters, an actor from
American
Horror
Story. In
a movie
based
on Ted
Bundy,
Zac
Efron—a
costar from High School
Musical—was cast. These actors,
seen as teenage heartthrobs in
past productions, further push
the fetish of serial killers. After
numerous TikTok edits from
Peters and Efron in fictional
movies and TV
shows, now
they appear in
edits playing a
serial killer in a documentary or
movie based on true events.

Satire:
The
Jay Skidmore
Opinions Editor
Baer
Truth
Was Redmond’s most recent election stolen?
fearmongering by jay skidmore
Opinion Editor
Was Redmond’s most
recent mayoral election stolen?
Rumors of voter fraud, broken
machines and rigged ballot
counts are swirling, but is
there any evidence? No, but
anything is possible. Do you
have conclusive proof that this
election wasn’t stolen? Yeah,
I didn’t think so. As a proud
election denier and patriotic
American, I will never let my
beliefs be held back by trivial
things like “evidence” or “truth.”
The target of this
flagrant, yet perfectly concealed
fraud was an up-and-coming
political powerhouse by the
name of Charles Webster
Baer. Baer’s platform can be
summed up by three C’s-
Cryptocurrency, China’s one
child policy and Creating a “one
world government.” Baer wants
to make it illegal to “reproduce
more than once for the next
couple centuries” and argues
for “less government and more
freedom.” Baer also promises
to “meet with anyone to talk
about anything every Monday at
noon until the sun goes down at
Centennial Park as long as there
is no rain and no snow or ice on
the ground for as long as I am
mayor.”
This is a truly spectacular
platform, it’s fresh, it’s unique and
it gives the people what they want.
I can’t help but wonder how this
candidate could possibly lose, the
clear answer is; he didn’t.
The biggest issue was the
thousands of votes that flooded
in at the last minute — and by
minute, I mean week.
There’s also reason for
suspicion with how long it took to
call the race. How long, you might
ask? Can’t tell you, I didn’t check.
This leaves the possibility that it
took weeks, months, or even
years to count the ballots and
“call” the race. We’ll never know
for certain, because research is
hard.
Questions are also
being raised (primarily by me)
about the possibility of Chinese
interference. The evidence of this
is right under our noses, the city
is called REDmond. We all know
what red means: communism. Is
it really “conspiratorial” to say the
Reds might have some sway in a
town called Redmond? For all we
know, this election could have
been rigged by Mao himself.
If you, for whatever reason, reject
this ironclad evidence, maybe
China should have interfered
on Baer’s behalf. If 2016 taught
us anything, the true will of the
people can’t be expressed without
a bit of foreign interference.
Besides, why shouldn’t China
support a fellow advocate of their
one child policy?
If I can leave you with any
message, it’s that real Americans
know the truth: that Charles
Webster Baer won. We have
known this since long before this
election was called and before
it even began. Baer won’t give
up this easily, and is likely to
run again in the next election.
Unfortunately, it seems like this
election process is thoroughly
rigged and cannot be trusted.
Unless of course, Charles Baer
wins, in which case the people
have spoken, and doubting his
overwhelming victory would be
un-American. What are you, a
communist? If so, vote for Baer.

The population of meatless
mankind is up to something. Vegans
are always innovative, and work
constantly to sift meat from the pot of
modern nutrition. Many people with
dietary restrictions and preferences
celebrate the holidays, most more
unique than eccentric.
“What’s
important
for a
healthy
diet is
balance, not whether or not you eat
meat,” Summit High School teacher
Marni Spitz said. So when Mom
wants balanced holiday dinners, she
should shop at equitable and sensible
markets.
Local places to shop in Bend
that offer vegetarian and vegan-like
alternatives vary, some can lack
proper nutrition. Market of Choice
and Natural Grocers are stores
that guarantee ethically-sourced,
meat-free products. Often these
kinds of suppliers are on the spendy
side; perfect for Bend’s economic
atmosphere, not so great for most
of the population. One might need
an open mind to shy away from
mainstream diets. (More like open
wallets.) Of course, more common
chain grocery stores also have a
selection for less value; which usually
means less quality and fewer options.
There is a wide range of
alternative protein sources—soy, pea,
insect, mycoprotein, whey, plantbased
and lab-grown meat. Protein
derived from algae also works but is
less common. Beans, mushrooms,
chickpeas and of course—tofu—are
more popular in day-to-day meals.
Compared to meat eaters, vegetarians
tend to consume less saturated
fat and cholesterol, and more C
and E vitamins, dietary fiber, folic
acid, potassium, magnesium and
phytochemicals (plant chemicals),
such as carotenoids and flavonoids.
Imagine getting all those vitamins
from a single family
gathering!
“[I eat] a lot of beans…or
legumes, I guess you would
say. We also do a lot of tofu
LIVE
LAUGH
or tempeh,” Spitz said, “Hardy
vegetables can have a lot of
protein in them…healthy fats
can also be found in avocados”.
Products that are
‘plant-based’ can be defined in a
multitude of ways. The FDA states
that product labeling should not be
misleading, but since ‘vegan’ and
‘plant-based’ are nowhere legally
defined. So because there is an
absence of a law that would create
required guidelines, there is room
for sloppy and loose interpretation.
Depending on the product, most
brands want the alternative protein
to simulate the taste and texture
of conventional meat. So it tastes,
appears and is as, or more, nutritious
than conventional meat. All that
while protecting animal welfare or
contributing to food security, making
plant-based food more effectively
sustainable. One could say that vegans
slay.
A major factor in people’s
decision to go vegan is how they
can help prevent the exploitation
of animals and environmentallyabusive
agriculture. Many do it for
the animals, their health and even
humanity as a whole. Meat and
animal product consumption has
a huge effect on the environment;
although some research can be
blown way out of proportion, still
the environment remains
greatly impactful.
Other reasons too,
especially social media—
which accepts vegans but
LOVE
also makes fun
of them. For
some people
transitioning
diets, the
influence of romanticism can have
negative effects and diligently
spread false claims. Solely based on
sensationalism, Influencers often
promote biased, distorted habits.
Controversy does exist, though
mostly from the opinions of more
traditional dieticians and internet
junkies looking for attention in the
comments. A lot of the romanticized
dieting on social media comes from
off-duty models and young adults
below the average weight classes.
Less radical participants consist of
older generations focusing on staying
healthy and living out their later years
energized, and for longer.
Well-planned vegan diets
follow healthy eating guidelines,
and contain all the nutrients that
our bodies need. Both the British
Dietetic Association and the American
Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics
recognise that nutrition that comes
from these vegan and vegetarian diets
are suitable for every age and stage of
life.
Aggregate consumption of
meat-based proteins worldwide is
decreasing—the overall growth rate
is expected to decline by 50%. Plantbased
food (the largest source of
alternative protein) sales rose by 17%
in 2018; the use of alternative protein
as a food ingredient in consumer
products is predicted to continue
growing. Several entrants in the
alternative-protein space are already
rolling out new
Me some tofu
technologies
and
ingredients,
and some are
attempting
to solidify their place in the market.
Innovative food companies are able
to mirror the customer experience of
eating meat to a much higher degree.
This is paralleled with strong social
media marketing campaigns to gain
traction for their products. With
Beyond Meat’s popularity on the
rise, investors predict a brand-new
market ahead. Plus, numerous fastfood
chains announced deals with
alternative-protein producers to offer
vegetarian takes of popular menu
items. Eureka—the chicken nuggets
can be saved!
FUnky Foods Take over the
dinner table

If you ask the average Summit
High student what our mascot is, you
will receive a few different answers,
which isn’t typical. If you asked Bend
High students, they’d say Lava Bears,
and if you asked Ridgeview students,
they’d say Ravens. Though Wikipedia
states that the official Summit mascot
is the “Thundercat,” and has been
since 2003, about 10 percent of the
88 Summit students I polled did not
answer anything about a cat. Answers
non-cat related were usually “storm,”
“thunder” or “lightning,” with the one
notable exception of a wombat. Why
can’t the student body agree on what
our own mascot is?
If you look up the phrase
“storm cat” on Google, you’ll see large
amounts of content relating to a very
successful race horse from 1999, who
happened to have the highest breeding
rate at the time. You’ll also find a few
catfishing boats and children’s books of
the same name.
What is the Storm Cat? Does it
hold any special meaning? All Summit
students long for the answers to these
questions, as our mascot remains
largely a mystery to even ourselves.
A general historical
understanding of the origins of the
school mascot is necessary when
questioning what exactly our own
mascot represents here at Summit.
The tradition of having mascots can
be traced back to the American Civil
War, when some regiments kept living
mascots (mostly dogs) who sometimes
followed soldiers onto the battlefield.
According to their website, Penn State
University’s original mascot was a
mule, that helped haul limestone for
building the school. The word “mascot,”
popularized around 1880, comes from
the French word “mascotte” which
means “lucky charm.” Jackie Esposito,
Penn State University archivist, states
that mascots “are a visual representation
of what we believe to be the best parts
of our school or organization.”
Most students would be
surprised to hear that our mascot has
changed since we opened—before
the Storm Cat came the Storm Man.
Lasting for only two years, the Storm
Man was a Batman look-alike with an
“S” on his chest, a bolt of lightning in
one hand, and a shield in the other.
When asked about our original mascot,
Summit principal Michael McDonald
Story of the Storm Cat
Letting the cat out of the bag
Jesse Radzik
Staff Writer
recalls seeing him at a pep assembly the
first year he came to the school.
“Storm Man was the guy
dressed up as Batman, and he did a
dance to an Eminem song. That’s all I
remember,” said McDonald. But not
long after, Summit made the switch to
something that fit better.
Admittedly, the transition from
Storm Man to Storm Cat had less to do
with representing our specific strengths
as a school, and more to do with the
trademarking of the Batman symbol.
But in the twenty years we’ve had the
Storm Cat, students have given it some
meaning.
A cat itself is symbolic of
rebirth and resurrection, as shown
through their nine lives. Senior
representative Claire McDonald sees
the Storm Cat as representing the
diversity of talent at Summit.
“It shows off the strength
of our athletes, but also, the Storm
Cat represents our cunning and
slyness, because cats are known for
their intelligence too. So I think that
it embodies a lot of what Summit
is, because it represents both our
intelligence, and our strength and
speed,” said McDonald.
Another student council
member, voice behind our morning
announcements and junior arts liaison
Max Himstreet, finds the Storm Cat
represents Summit’s unity and spirit.
“Whoever’s in the costume has been
nearly unanimously chosen to fill the
role and represents the entire student
body and their collective spirit,” said
Himstreet.
Principal McDonald offered
a more literal take on the mascot,
remembering how administration and
student council may have just chosen a
cat because it would be difficult to have
a literal storm [cloud] running around
and we needed an animal. To keep
up with the already well-established
Mountain View Cougars and Bend
High Bears—“we needed to get an
animal in there,” Principal McDonald
said.
Summit English teacher Erin
Carroll stated that she would rather
have a mascot that is a real animal.
“What is a Storm Cat? It is not a thing.
But what’re we gonna be instead, a
tornado?”
Junior soccer player Thor
Schmidt confirmed that he would
rather Summit remain the Storm, and
his team seemed to feel the same way.
“I’m pretty sure that every time we were
gonna say ‘stormcats on three’ it was
shot down. Immediately.”
Apparently, the varsity girls
basketball team also leaves the cat out
of their calls. Sophomore basketball
player Kalia Durfee claimed that her
team stuck with the typical “storm on
three!” as their chant. When asked
whether she thought that her team felt
more Storm or Storm Cat, she quickly
answered Storm. “We don’t associate
it with being the cat, it’s more just the
Storm,” said Durfee.
Around Summit, there are a
few conflicting views on our barely-
there mascot. Many students don’t feel
represented by the Storm Cat because
it simply isn’t around. Almost everyone
I interviewed mentioned something
about the lack of representation of the
Storm Cat around the school and in our
chants, which seems to be a common
sentiment for most students and staff.
However, more optimistic student
council members saw some meaning in
the mascot, which could be a sign that
the general student body might feel the
same if the cat was seen more. It might
be time to increase the presence of our
tempest tabby, or maybe it’s time for a
new mascot.

The Rise of the Gym Rat
Love brings pain but the gym brings gains
Iben Orton
Staff Writer
“Chase dreams, not girls.”
After posting a video taken of
himself yesterday—dropping the loaded
deadlift bar and walking away—with the
above caption, @bangerbod checks his hair
in the mirror on the way out of his room,
sprints downstairs, chugs an odd-tasting
vanilla protein shake, and speeds to the
gym, all before the clock strikes 5am. His
instagram bio reads “tunnel vision.”
In his next post, the high-school
bodybuilder wannabe sits on a lifting
bench in his muscle tank, sipping water as
the audio shouts, “I did nothing but love.”
Captioned, “real gym rats felt this pain.”
And another: a dimly lit video in which he
seems to have misplaced his shirt, showing
off abs and biceps in what looks like the
C-hall bathroom. The post reads: “Why are
people pissing in the posing room?”
Though @bangerbod isn’t a real person, all
of the above captions are real. What appears
here is common among the new breed of
“gym rats” that have dominated your feed.
It’s become increasingly common to see
at least a couple gym posts on any given
day while scrolling through Instagram and
TikTok. For months, many of us scrolled
past these videos, using a rather diligent
“ignorance is bliss” mindset. But as the
amount of gym clips proliferates, such
obliviousness cannot continue. It’s time to
face the music.
A little bit of background: During
quarantine, many of us developed odd
hobbies to distract ourselves from the fact
that the entire world was shut down. One
of these obscure activities happened to
be broadcasting workout videos on social
media. Many hopped on this trend, and the
term “FitTok”quickly gained traction both
inside and outside the weight-lifting world.
As gyms began to open up in late 2021 and
early 2022, the community grew even more
rapidly, not only on TikTok, but Instagram,
Snapchat, YouTube and Twitter.
And Summit was not immune to
this cult of iron.
But what exactly does “gym culture”
involve?
GYM CULTURE
On average, the gym culture
participants interviewed—Mia Mees,
Bricen Sargent, Kaylee Naistrom, Nate
Martin, Sadie Lindemann, Bram Gerken
and Henry Sullivan—said they spent over
15 hours at the gym each week. The general
consensus was that they workout six out
of seven days, meaning that around a fifth
of their time awake is spent at the gym.
More than half of the teens interviewed
confirmed that they participated in dieting,
usually high-calorie diets to “bulk up,” a
process of growing muscle while gaining
weight.
“For eight months I force-fed
myself 4,500 calories a day and 200 grams
of protein to gain 50 pounds,” said junior
Henry Sullivan.
For reference, experts recommend
active male teens consume around 3,000
calories per day. Protein intake for the
same group should be around 52 grams.
Consuming too much protein can tax
the kidneys and predispose individuals
to heart disease. However, Sullivan’s
protein consumption is four times the
recommended amount. While it seems
“LifT Big, GEt Big. Get
BiG, Look BetteR”
-Miles Sargent
Summit Junior
questionable, he believes this process has
paid off. “...i reached my goal on weight
gain [and now] i am eating in a small
caloric deficit and fasting in the morning
with only clean calories to lose body fat,”
said Sullivan.
There are, however, some downsides
to being so dedicated to this intense
lifestyle. Many lifters described harmful
behaviors within the culture, but only in
extreme circumstances.
“The main ones would be injuries
from over-training, body dysmorphia
and when you get into really serious
bodybuilding,” said Sullivan.
Body dysmorphia caused by
muscle insecurity has become increasingly
common, and is often referred to as
Bigorexia. The New York Times recently
described this phenomenon as “a form of
muscle dysmorphia exhibited mostly by
men and characterized by excessive weight
lifting, a preoccupation with not feeling

muscular enough and a strict adherence to
eating foods that lower weight and build
muscle.” Luckily, none of the interviewees
claimed to be negatively affected by dieting,
nor did they report viewing themselves in a
negative light.
“There are always unhealthy
behaviors but it’s always optional,” said
junior Bricen Sargent.
The drive to continue this gym
lifestyle? Answers varied, but some of the
most insightful included the following.
“I don’t have motivation. Discipline,”
said junior Nate Martin.
“Lift big, get big. Get big, look
better,” said Sargent
POSING AND POSTING
Much of the incentive to maintain
a regular gym schedule also came from
several social media influencers, whose
content mainly consisted of gym videos and
motivational messages.
“They definitely did inspire and
motivate [me],” Sargent said. Some of these
videos, in fact, so heavily inspired some
lifters that they decided to make accounts
or posts of their own. This included four of
the interviewees, all with their own social
media profiles that focused specifically on
lifting.
Several accounts included
inspirational messages to encourage others
to either start or keep lifting regularly. Some
posts, however, included some controversial
messages.
“Till failure, or I am a failure,” read
one video. Another was captioned “bring
back masculinity.”
Oh, and not to mention, there were
several videos advising the audience to
give up romantic pursuits and hit the gym
instead. “2% chance of your high school
relationship lasting. 3% of you being a
multimillionaire” and “hate is gonna take
you further than love. Use it as fuel,” were
some of the most notable quotes.
These were just some of many posts,
encouraging full dedication to gym culture,
toxic masculinity, negative self-talk, and a
“look out for number one” mindset.
Where did these negative views
come from? Some of the other lifters
interviewed seemed to have a different take
than the ones mentioned above, and even
talked about these videos.
ALTERNATIVE GYM
LIFESTYLES
“Gym bros are annoying on the
internet, like you have to like, have your
heart broken to be strong,” said junior
Mia Mees. “I think, it’s more about being
healthy, being your most authentic self,
instead of that. ”
Another individual described that
their desire to create a platform stemmed
from wanting to bring more people into the
gym community.
“I like encouraging people, especially
girls, because there’s not a lot of girls that
like to lift,” said junior Sadie Lindemann
Interestingly enough, these
individuals also had motivations that
differed from the aforementioned.
“I think it’s just wanting to keep
strong, wanting to stay healthy, wanting
to stay fit,” said senior Kaylee Nystrom. “I
think the more you get into it, the more
that you find you love it because you just
feel good.”
This feeling was described as a sort
of post-workout euphoria.
“After a big workout, you feel very
successful and, there’s like an endorphin
rush. You know, it just feels good to finish a
workout and see immediate improvement,”
said freshman Bram Gerken.
It’s important to be familiar with
this side of working out, and to know that
attending the gym routinely isn’t always in
pursuit of testosterone and bodybuilding
like it’s often made out to be.
INTERPRETATION
What are people to think of this
lifestyle? Should we be condoning this
passion?
“...I’d rather have kids in the gym,
lifting, taking pictures and posting everyday
whether some people think it’s gross or
not,” said Summit weights teacher Jaime
Brock, explaining that this was preferred to
teens spending their time partying, vaping,
and living a sedentary lifestyle.
While gym culture may be a
confusing concept for some, when done the
right way, having a passion for lifting and
fitness can be very beneficial. The shirtless
poses and cheesy audios seem to be a
worthy sacrifice to keep teens prioritizing
fitness and wellness over more dangerous
activities.

Her Loss; A Missed Opportunity
Drake fails in seizing the limelight once again with another sub-par album
Will Beltramini
Staff Writer
On October 22 Drake and 21 Savage announced their joint
album, “Her loss”—as per usual the announcement sparked hype and
excitement for the project.
Following a series of disappointing albums starting in the late
2010s Drake gained a reputation for dropping uninspired and boring
music. His last album “Honestly Nevermind”—released in June—
epitomized this. For the first time in the Toronto born rapper’s career
the public was largely in opposition to his album. Its sound, which
attempted to replicate house music, fell terribly short. Its lackluster effort
and sloppy production drew criticism from even the most dedicated of
Drake fans.
“Certified Lover Boy”
and “Honestly Nevermind” were
rushed projects released in less
than a year from one another—
missing Drake’s traditional cold
RnB songs and confident rapping.
By teaming up with 21
Savage on a collab album, fans
thought that “Her Loss” would
be different from his previous
releases. Savage has gone on a
feature run over the past few years,
yet to deliver a verse that leaves
listeners disappointed. Some of
more notable features being an
appearences on Drake’s “Knife
Talk’’ and “Jimmy Cooks”. The
two’s chemistry together was quite
apparent in these two songs, so
naturally a collaboration album
seemed like a genius move for both
rappers.
Unfortunately the issues that plagued the past two albums,
“Certified Lover Boy” and “Honestly Nevermind”, continue to haunt
Drake throughout “Her Loss”. Perhaps it’s because Drake simply doesn’t
sound as determined—as if he’s only releasing music because his record
executives tell him too.
On songs such as “Privileged Rappers” Drake comes across
uninterested and sleep inducing. This isn’t helped with repetitive and
unoriginal beats like the song “On BS”— the same melody repeated
throughout the 4 minute track without any significant changes to the
original progression. All of these complaints and more appear in the
arguably worst song in the album, “Hours of Silence, ‘’ where Drake
delivers ordinary verses over a six-minute muted repetitive beat—
inducing a yawn.
Drake comes across as immature and out of touch with his
audience. Not many people can relate to the extravagance in the line “I
gotta stop goin’ Lenci, Rollie, first week”. He isn’t the same guy that made
“Take Care” over 10 years ago. 36 now, Drake still sings about petty little
teenage arguments.
Despite all of this, “Her Loss” is not all negative. Even with the
boring patches, Drake and 21 are able to string together a few series
of hard hitting rap songs that make you wonder where this version of
Drake was hiding. The best parts of the album being the beat switches,
the song “Rich Flex’’ alone has three different beats. Then the ensuing
song, “Major Distribution,” opens with Drake singing over a somber
piano tune, then, out of nowhere, the beat transitions to a gritty melody.
Savage and Drake glide effortlessly
over the track, exchanging
memorable bars such as “in this
mansion I’m Macaulay Culkin”.
On “Broke Boys” Drake and 21 are
as boastful as ever, bragging about
their success and domination in
the rap industry. The song also
features the best beat switch on
the album going from one hard
progression to another. The duo
teamed up with Travis Scott to
craft the a top song of the album,
“Pussy and millions,” adding in
a triumphant beat. While not a
traditional Travis Scott beat, he still
brings a spacey sound—rapping
over the thundering 808s.
Tieing up the album “I Guess Its
Fuck Me” is a more traditional RnB
Drake song and while not ground
breaking, it does close the album
on a high note.
While Davis Doan, a junior at Summit high school, says that
“Her loss makes up for Honesty Nevermind,” the album isn’t the
statement that Drake would’ve hoped for. Throughout “Her Loss” you
get hints of what it could’ve been, however, it’s disappointing to hear the
same stuff in each Drake album over and over again. 21 Savage almost
feels wasted on this album as he doesn’t appear on 4 of the songs, never
fully able to dominate a track—creating a Drake centric album rather
than a collaborative piece.
“Drake will continue his downward spiral, but [I think he]
brought himself back up a little bit with ‘Her Loss’. But his downfall will
probably continue,” said Summit Junior Max Basurto. It’s hard to see
Drake returning to his former success, especially after this last album.
Perhaps it’s the lack of new ideas preventing Drake from evolving
as an artist—stuck in formulas keeping him from making memorable
music.
