Kristen Schatow and Tia
Kapintcheva (left) work
on revising drafts, a process that can take up to
as many as seven revision or more. The work
begins with research and
interviews. Josh Whipple

mayor of Fraser during a
basketball game. Work on
a story can take you to
the streets or to the
internet like it does for
Paul Digiovanni (far right)
looking for facts about his
next article.

The Flash Photo Story

By Mr. Flanagan
Flash Adviser

The Flash staff is committed to creating an open forum
for student expression informing and entertaining the Fraser
community. Their job, as journalists, is to communicate to
their readers the facts of the case, the scores of the day,
the awards of the month, the stories of their lives, all sides
of the issues, and, sometimes, their opinions and feeling.
The dedicated journalists of The Flash do not take their
responsibility lightly and attempt to execute their job with
passion and a youthful exuberance that should be admired.
Between homework, baby sitting, part-time jobs, soccer,
band, sports, cheerleading, and family commitments, The
Flash staff takes the time to produce a paper that they
hope emulates, imitates and inspires Fraser Pride.
This special issue of The Flash has set an additional
challenge for its staff; they have to communicate and tell
the story with as few words as possible.
The following pages contain the photo stories created as
a special project, an exercise in communication. Look closely
and see what they have to say.
Proofreading pages, while tedious, can apparently be rather funny. Amanda Dupure cracks up
while helping Petia Kapintcheva, Kristen Schatow and Nicki Hinchman work on The Flash.

The Flash Staff 2005-06: Aaron Hamel and Kyle Snarski attempt to lift the
couch with our editors Kristen Schatow, Nicki Hinchman, and Alleysha
Tucker seated on it. Ashley Bletch, Jerica Pitts, Petia Kapintcheva, Amanda
Dupure, and Sara Zalewski add to their work while the rest of the guys;
Paul Digiovanni, Art McCall, John Milby, Mr. Flanagan, Andrew Kauffman,
and Bobby Druzynski wisely stay out of it.

The work on the paper sometimes involves listening to music to write
reviews, Ashley Bletch (above) listens to some of the latest releases for
the entertainment section of the paper. The movie review team for The
Flash, Snarski & Hamel (right), are never afraid to give an honest review
of a movie. Once the work of news gathering is done it’s time to get the
word on paper either with a pen, like Amamda Dupre (far right) or with a
computer like Art McCall (below).

I disapprove of
what you say, but I
will defend to the
death your right to
say it.
