BUSINESS LEADERS FBLA team members jump in feet first Business from Page 10B this practice method to be particularly effective. His intention with the mock presentations is to let the students “shake in their boots a little bit to see all these people in their room.” If they “freak out” now, he said, they will feel less ner- vous in front of actual judges. “It’s just a huge piece for them to be able to really pre- pare themselves for the state contest,” he added. In addition to Payzanoğ- lu and Ipson’s team, Seaside has another team competing in 3-D animation, one of the more difficult and time-con- suming events. According to junior Rafa- el Sibony, who is partnered with senior Brent Walsh and junior Isaiah Collins, the project involved picking an animation software and oth- er programs to use, writing a script, developing charac- ters, recording voiceovers, creating a storyboard and rendering. The topic for 3-D animation this year is “Go- ing Green,” so the students’ project had to emphasize an issue and solution related to environmental sustainabili- ty. Fortunately, Sibony said, Verhulst introduced them to a program he was familiar with, so “we didn’t have to test every single one.” Walsh said getting to know and use the animation software, Mu- vizu, was “fun, but it’s also kind of a struggle.” Not that the challenge was too daunting. According to Payzanoğlu said, “the best part was kind of the strug- gle.” KATHERINE LACAZE/FOR SEASIDE SIGNAL Seaside High School senior Zeynep Payzanoğlu presents a 3-D animated video she creat- ed along with her teammate, senior Kara Ipson. “At the end, we had a good project and I’m proud of it,” she said. For the community ser- vice project contest, juniors Colton Carter and Bryre Babbitt, along with Ipson, are presenting on behalf of the whole chapter about its involvement in the school’s Don’t Catch This Wave cam- paign to move three of the district’s schools out of the tsunami inundation zone and into a new location. During their practice presentation, the group discussed how the chapter’s contributions helped raise awareness and lead to the success of a $99.7 million bond measure to fund the project. Carter joined FBLA on account of Verhulst, who “was really selling it and let- ting us know how much fun it would be.” “He was so inspiring and energetic about it, we just had to join,” Carter said. “And he was right about it.” His favorite aspects of be- ing in FBLA include work- ing with his project partners, as well as the prospect of competing at the state con- ference “and seeing how far we can go with it,” he said. Fishing Club: ‘Something kind of magical’ about it Fishing from Page 9B Royal Coachman, and fly rod casting techniques. Mizell would like to do a knot- tying activity at some point. Fly fishing — the March activity — is a recent pur- suit for the students, and they’ve enjoyed it so far. “Music and fly fishing have one thing in com- mon: keeping time,” said Loke, who plays several instruments. He’s only fished with a regular rod in the past, but his under- standing of time signa- tures has helped him pick up on this new variation quickly. Perfecting the timing and rhythm are the tough- est parts of the activity, Mizell said. Yet the chal- lenges posed by fly fishing also keep it interesting. “It’s one of those things that no matter how long you do it, there’s always more to learn,” Mizell said. At the end of the year, the group intends to take another fieldtrip to Davis Lake, in Central Oregon. Known for its robust bass population, the lake is a fly fishing-only body of water, which will give the students a chance to prac- tice their newly learned skill. Mizell’s hope for the trip is the club members “will catch some fish on some of the flies they’ve tied themselves.” “That would be cool,” he added.
