CST testing is coming soon so
start studying! Make sure you get plenty of
sleep and eat a good breakfast during
testing week. Your teachers will probably
help you practice and get ready to take the
tests but if you feel you need more help,
form a study group with your friends. One
of your friends might know and
understand something you don’t.
Testing starts Tuesday April 30
and goes to Friday May 3. There is math,
English, history, and science CSTs. Some
teachers offer to bump up your grade if you
score the level they want you to meet. They
do a grade change at the beginning of next
year so bring them your results.
Roger Ebert – A FarewellBy Hayden Gordon
Film critics around the world
mourned undoubtedly the most famous
critics of all time on April 4th. Roger
Ebert was an expert critic of film, who
began his long career of nitpicking back
in the late 1960’s. His opinion on movies
has been widely respected by moviegoers
since the premiere of his show with
partner Gene Siskel in 1975.
What made Mr. Ebert so special
is that, unlike most duos, he continued
after his partner passed away. He was
never “and Ebert”, he was never the John
Oates to anyone’s Darryl Hall, he was
never just the other guy. He had a
personality, a charisma; but most
importantly he had a passion. That
passion was for film, which he regarded as
art. He and Gene Siskel made careers and
earned international fame as movie
reviewers, something everyone would
want to do.Six and Seven Year OldBodies Recovered FromHoleBy: Sarah Synder
The six and seven-year-old
bodies of Chloe Arwood and James Caldwell
were found Monday morning, after being
trapped in a wall of dirt weighing tons.
The devastigating and
heartbreaking discovery of the cousins
bodies come after crews failed to find them
right after responding to Sunday afternoon's
accident, suburban Charlotte officials said.

STUDENT LIFE
Ume Shootby Danny Rogers
New bands tend to get very little
recognition when they don’t go the extra
mile. Ume Shoot went the extra mile, and
they deserve some recognition. Somebody
in our school was personally handing out
organized rap cd albums called “T.U.F.T.A.F.P.”
I honestly don’t know if this
really a new band, but I sincerely hope so.
Some of the beats definitely sound familiar,
but the singer is definitely new to me. If it
is a new band, they’re local and great.
I have very little info on this
new band/artist. I normally don’t like rap,
but this cd’s enjoyable.
Every song has a new and
refreshing beat and intro that sets the
mood. It all sounds good enough to be done
in a studio and I wouldn’t be surprised if
someone came up to me and said it is.
Listening, I’ve heard lyrics
referring to Orange County and Rosetta, so
they’re in California at the least. There was
another line dropped about munching on
“Alberto’s”, but I’m sure that “Alberto’s” is a
chain and in plenty of other cities.
The two songs that feature “Jen”
add even more to the experience. Every
song is neither too long nor too short, and
therefore doesn’t get boring and repetitive.
The singer sounds the same, but the music
makes every song new.
I will try to find the person who
handed me this cd and ask him for more
info. I hope that this article will make
someone’s day and get this group some
fame and recognition. They deserve some
after this.
While some songs are better
than others, this cd is entertaining and
worth your time. Check it out and wait for
my article next week telling more on others’
opinions and the group itself. Try out this
cd and enjoy!

EbertContinued from front page
Now you may be saying to
yourself, “Well, I can review movies, that’s
easy”. You probably could review movies
if you wanted to. However, you could not
critique a film in the manner that Mr.
Ebert did. No matter how hard you tried,
you could never match the amount of
passion and the amount of enthusiasm
for film as that man had. Siskel and Ebert
would review 5 movies a week, first with
a written piece and then a T.V show about
it. I don’t know about you, but to watch
and thoroughly analyze 5 movies a week
and still come up with new and
interesting things to say about each
movie takes tremendous amounts of
talent. Siskel and Ebert made you want to
listen to what 2 snobby film critics from
Illinois had to say about the movie you
just saw or were about to see.
It is hard to command respect
from an audience the way Roger Ebert
did. To put all of your opinions in print
and have people coming back to hear
what you have to say next is truly
difficult. You could disagree with him and
still want to hear what he has to say. He
was respected not because of his massive
knowledge of film and cinema, but
because of his passion and enthusiasm
for the medium. People watched the show
and enjoyed watching Siskel and Ebert
disagree and get intensely passionate in
their arguments against each other’s
opinions, but not many people
understand why it is enjoyable. It was
enjoyable to watch 2 men take something
like film, that most people would shrug off
as being not that important, and see them
revere it as the most important thing in
the world.
They knew why film was
important; they knew its implications and
its impact on society. To them, film was
the most important issue. We envied
Roger Ebert without even knowing it. We
envied the fact that they had so much
devotion and enthusiasm. We thought
that if we could be as dedicated as them,
in any area in our lives, we would be set.
Ebert could make you look at a film from
a whole different perspective. He could
make you look at a film you absolutely
hated, and change your mind. He once
said that video games were not an art. A
statement I mostly disagree with.
However, he is so respectable, and his
opinion means so much, that I can
actually find myself agreeing with him.
He loved to discuss movies so much,
when his long time friend and co-
reviewer died in 1999, he kept going. He
would bring other reviewers on the show
just so he could keep talking about and
expressing his love for film. When he was
diagnosed with thyroid cancer in 2002,
and after multiple surgeries that caused
him the loss of his voice forever, he still
continued to watch and review movies.
His voice, now silent, still carried more
weight than any other film critic.
He was the most famous critic
of all time, but was so humble. He always
looked out for the little guy; he never sold
his ideas short for money. He was an
incorruptible voice of reason and logic in
film, and he will be sorely missed by not
just critics, but regular consumers as
well. As an aspiring critic myself, I can say
that without Mr. Ebert, I probably
wouldn’t have wanted to review or
critique movies. He made it possible for
people to make careers out of editorials
and reviewing. You had a lot more to say
Mr. Ebert, and for that, I give this death
two thumbs down.
Health it up!By Jewel Harris
Juicing is a healthy way to get in
your fruits and vegetables. Especially if you
don’t like eating them raw. The mixture
contains minerals, vitamins and fibers. They
say that juicing can reduce your risk of cancer,
boost your immune system, help you remove
toxins from your body, and help you lose
weight.
Lisa Ko from 5 things you need to
know about says about juicing “Fans of green
juicing, or juicing raw vegetables, say that you
can drink more vegetables than you can eat,
and that juicing allows your body to more
easily absorb the vitamins and antioxidants
extracted from fresh produce. Juicing has been
credited with alleviating everything from skin
diseases and immune disorders to cancer and
high blood pressure.” The Breville, The Green
Star and The Omega Vert are three popular
juicers. Bananas can’t be juiced; any fruits can
be juiced as long as they are water based.
Natural News says “Juicing is an
essential part of creating health. Whether
done as part of a fast or routinely within your
weekly food consumption, it may provide
more cleansing and nutrients.”
I have started juicing and I love it.
My mom and I got a juicer and it is so much
fun. My mom loves to make her juice with
carrots and celery, she adds other things too
but those are her main veggies. My
chiropractor and his family even juices, they
highly recommend it and so do I.

Louisville Win NCAA TitleBy: Eduardo Flores
The guys played with heart, taking
everything they had and putting it on the court. They
strived for the win for themselves and for their
teammate Kevin Ware, who suffered a major injury in
the Semi round.
The University of Louisville won its first
Men’s College Basketball Championship since 1986.
Michigan State fought a good battle, but in the end
Louisville wanted it more. Louisville erased a 12-point
first-half deficit and beat the University of Michigan
82-76 in the championship game of the three-week-
long National Collegiate Athletic Association
tournament.
Louisville had many players step up in the
end. Luke Hancock scored 22 points to lead Louisville,
hitting all five of his 3-point shots, while Peyton Siva
added 18 and Chane Behanan had 15 points and 12
rebounds. The Cardinals, who were "4-point favorites"
according to oddsmakers, outscored Michigan 45-38
during the second half.
Louisville ended their season well off with a
record of 35-5. Rick Pitino became the first coach to
win title with two different schools. Louisville is now
the eighth school with at least three men’s basketball
championships, joining UCLA (11), Kentucky (8), Indiana
(5), North Carolina (5), Connecticut (3), Duke (3) and
Kansas (3).

Six and Seven Year OldBodies Recovered FromHoleBy: Sarah Synder
“There are times when calls
like this happen when we are not able to
make a difference because it is outside of
our realm,” an emotional Dion Burleson,
spokesman for Lincoln County Emergency
Management, told reporters Sunday night.
The first 911 call was from
Jordan Arwood, father of Chloe Arwood,
around 5 PM. His desperate voice is heard
on a recording released by the Lincoln
County communications centre after the
bodies were recovered.
"Please hurry... My children are
buried under tons of dirt... They're buried
under tons of clay... It fell on top of them,"
he said sobbing."The entire wall collapsed
on them. Get a crane. Get a bulldozer. Get
anything you can, please," he said. "There's
no way they can breathe."
An army of workers got to
work, tried to dig the children out.The
effort proved daunting to the 75 workers.
They began digging, using shovels and
bare hands. Family members of the
children, some of them kids themselves,
stood nearby as neighbors consoled them.
“They kept saying: ‘They have
been down there too long without air,’”
neighbor Cybil Johnson told WCNC. “That
is what the little kids were saying up here.
I told them, ‘God will take care of them.’”
Walt Disney Loses an Original
Member of theMouseketeersBy: Alicia Leigan
Annette Funicello, A former
member of the original 1950s
“Mouseketeers” on Disney’s “Mickey Mouse
Club”, passed away at the age of 70 last
Monday. She was one of the most well-
known members of the group and was
handpicked by Walt Disney himself to be
in his show.
Disney stated that she, "Died
peacefully from complications due to
multiple sclerosis, a disease she battled
for over 25 years.” Multiple sclerosis is a
disease in which the immune system
attacks the nerves.
According to Richard Sherman,
the Oscar winning composer who
composed many of her hits, "Annette's
sweet, unassuming spirit, her love of
people, and her capacity to exude
kindness and good feelings to everyone
she met was part of her beautiful
charisma”
The public knew the warm and
lovely Funicello as “America’s Sweetheart”.
Annette made contributions to
society not only by giving us golden
entertainment, but also by forming a
charity to find the cure for multiple
sclerosis. She called it the, “Annette
Funicello Research Fund for Neurological
Diseases”.
Among her many talents, like
acting and dancing, singing was one of
her best. She went on to pursue a
recording career and produced albums
like, “Hawaiiannette,” “Italiannette” and
“Dance Annette.”
