Terrorist a�acks Louvre in France staff reporter
Alexis Genthe (Soph.)
Here in the United States we have experienced our fair share of terrorist attacks and sadly, we will probably experience more. In other countries, though, they aren’t as protected as we are. In the United States it is a lot easier to feel safe and at home because of all the security and protection we have. In foreign countries, though, people don’t have that same sense of security. France has undergone quite a few terrorist attacks in past few years. The question is Why? Well, there are so many people that are desperately searching to have something after this life. They think that they need to go to the most extreme measures to get there. Even if those extreme measures mean killing people. This particular attack happened last week on February 3 by a man with a machete, it just so happened he thought this to be one of those things he had to do. As he was running around wildly swinging at tourits andsoldiers when he yelled, “Allahu Akbar”, which translates to “God is greatest.” He thought by doing this, he was bringing some glory to God. Obviously, it does take a crazy person to do this. Luckily, the soldiers shot and detained the man before he did much harm to the innocent tourists at the Carousel de Louvre. At the time, there were around 250 people at the Louvre museum that were evacuated while the police investigated.

In years past, the winter dance has been hard to make happen. There is always a problem with enough senior interest. For the most part, the other classes all would be willing to buy tickets. Well, finally, we got it to happen. The week of winter carnival itself was not very exciting. All the games got cancelled except for dodgeball on Monday. Since all the games were cancelled, no one really got into the dress up either. That feeling carried into the dance. There weren’t very many people there, so it was a different atmosphere from the Homecoming and May Banquet dances. The songs were decent but most of them were repeats of songs that were at homecoming. There maybe were around 200 people, but probably less,

rowing with God
“This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters. If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them, how can the love of God be in that person? Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth.” - 1 John 3:16-18 staff reporter

and nothing really exciting happened. For the most part, people just kind of jumped around and then walked out while the slow songs were playing. In a way, the dance was more
fun for all the couples, everyone else just got bored. In the future, there should be a better playlist and the week of winter carnival should be made more fun. When that is boring, the dance kind of just follows suit.
people around him. Surprisingly, even his boss Harley Branham at Dairy Queen bullied him. Branham was so cruel to him that she has been charged with involuntary manslaughter and now because of her actions, she will have to carry the guilt of this young man’s death on her shoulders for the rest of her life. The problem with bullying is that most people fail to see the
long-term consequences it can bring. Victims of bullying suffer tremendously from low confidence, self-esteem, and self-hatred. No person should ever have to endure these things as a result of other people’s cruel treatment, yet according to stopbullying.gov, between up to 1 in 3 students have been bullied in school. This is unacceptable that such a heinous act is still so prevalent today. However, this is something that can still be changed. If everybody sticks up for their neighbor and defends victims of bullying rather than standing by, the problem of bullying would be drastically reduced. People should also make sure to think about how their words and actions will affect others so that they don’t become part of the bullying epidemic.
Jesus says love your neighbor. What is love? Love is that Jesus laid his life down for us sinners, and that we should do the same. Not just for the people we like, or for the people we are related to, but to everyone around us and everyone we interact with. That doesn’t mean that you have to go and kill yourself for your friend. On the other hand though, if you know that they need help and can help them, you should do whatever you can to help them, and not just with big words or with lies, but with your actions and with truth.
Bully boss pushes Federation teen to suicide churchnews editor
Devon Perkins (Jr.)
People choose to bully others for many various reasons, but the bottom line is that there is no justification whatsoever for this despicable action and it has terrible consequences that, in some cases, cannot be reversed. This is the case with Kenneth Suttner, a teenager who committed suicide after enduring years of ridicule and verbal abuse from

St. John’s Lutheran Church has been a Christ-centered congregation since 1851. The congregation itself is more like a church family. They want to grow, expand and welcome others into the church’s arms. The church goals are to help members grow in their faith in Jesus, live in service to him, come to the message of the gospel. For nonbelievers, they work to carry out the mission of witnessing. On their website, it says they reach out to “...those around us to know the savings truths of Christ crucified, risen, and living.” The church offers a multitude of devotions that are in between Jump to pg. 4

As Christians, we who are Christ’s redeemed are told to love one another. This also means that we should respect one another.

This coming summer she is going on a trip to San Antonio, Texas to help run a youth basketball camp. Laura likes to do other volunteering outside of school as well. Last summer she had the opportunity to help out at the Special Olympics hosted by Carroll University and she was also a counselor at Camp Bird and Camp Wyalusing which were overnight events for Lutheran kids.

Winter Carnival:
Winter Carnival seems like a really good idea but for some reason Lakeside does not seem to be very good at having one. Last year’s winter dance was cancelled. However, this year it was very exciting to finally have a winter dance. It was really neat that the dance took place after a basketball game. The casual white-out theme instead of a formal dance was definitely an added bonus considering that other schools also do that. The two let downs were how short of a time the dance was, and there was not as many people there compared to the prom and homecoming crowd. The
school property. Throwing jelly on doors in not mature, and the fact that this happened within the walls of a Christ-centered school is unacceptable. Value others before yourselves. Instead of thinking about the extra time that the janitors had to spend cleaning up this mess, the violator only thought of the fleeting moments of joy that were spent defacing property unbelonging to him or her. Keep that in mind the next time a mischievous thought like this comes across the mind again.

SPORTS Much needed win for the Lady Warriors at home
Caleb Strutz (Sr.)
Timothy Louis Ehrhardt is Lakeside’s resident slacker extraordinaire. He, like many other human beings, was born to a mother, Ann, and was conceived by a father, Rob. His extracurricular activities consist of absolutely nothing, because band does not count. In the future, Tim wishes to sleep a lot and be a cool guy, except it is impossible for him to become cooler than he currently is. Some of Tim’s pastimes include becoming an anime. For those unfamiliar with the wording, becoming an anime involves screaming fake Japanese words, throwing fake shurikens at people, and developing an unhealthy addiction to J-Pop. Tim also enjoys fine cuisine, such as Pepsi, McDonald’s and whole loaves of bread from sandwich shops. Unironically, Tim is a connoisseur of films, once sitting in a theatre for 14 hours, viewing all of the films nominated for the Oscars. To his disappointment, however, SIlence was not nominated for any of them. Tim is a staunch postmodernist, who believes that all facts are simply spooks created by society. He is also a classic cynic, who aims to become the 21st century version of Diogenes, an ancient Greek philosopher who rolled around in a clay pot for a living. In the future, Timothy aspires to be a welfare leech. He currently has absolutely zero college plans, as he has to yet apply to any. The only thing restricting his future is his limitless motivation, zeal and positivity.

Wrestling takes third in Regionals staff reporter
The Lakeside wrestling team Matthias Winters (Jr.)
Last Friday your Lady Warriors played a home game against the Poynette Pumas. This was a key win for the Warriors after their loss at Lodi. The game on Tuesday was close almost the whole game but Lodi to pulled ahead in the end. The heartbreaking loss at Lodi tarnished their hope of a conference title, but this drove the Warriors to need this win against Poynette. Both teams came out incredibly strong at Friday night’s game. The score remained close at the beginning but the Warriors got a surge of motivation and pulled ahead leading the pumas 32-18 by the end of the first half. Kaitlyn Shadoski, a sophomore guard and top scorer contributed to the motivation of the team by attacking the basket and playing offensively.
Kaitlyn scored 12 points and behind her was her teammate Kalies Birkholtz scoring 9 points contributing offensively as well. The Warriors played consistently through the second half the motivation still rolling. The defense really shone through in this game as the warriors played loose and guarded the three point line making sure the pumas didn’t get any easy shots from the outside. Everyone on the team contributed to the game allowing the Warriors to end up on top leading the pumas 54-37 at the end of the game. This was a much needed win for the Warriors and the locker room was filled with ecstatic cheers and enthusiasm. This game was also a night to honor the parents of the Lady Warrior basketball teams. Thank you to all of the parents who support the warrior basketball program.

took third in regionals last Saturday and had three wrestlers move on to sectionals. Zech Schleef, Brett Cichanofsky, and Casey Ponyicsnayi all qualified to keep wrestling. Zech won his first match with a 56 second pin against a Columbus wrestler, but lost his next match. He was still able to qualify for sectionals by “wrestling back”, which means he had to work his way back through the bottom bracket. To earn his spot at sections, he had to beat the same Columbus guy as he did before. Brett had a similar route as Schleef. He won his first match with a 40 second pin, but then lost his next match. He also wrestled back and earned his spot to the next level. Casey pinned a Saint John’s Military Academy wrestler in 2:56, but lost his next match. However, wrestler that Casey beat wrestled back, so that automatically qualified Casey for sectionals.
During these two weeks at school, my headache wasn’t going away and it was instead getting worse. I was, once again, just ignoring it to be able to go to homecoming. I wasn’t allowed to participate in any activities during homecoming week, besides throwing grapes. I danced my heart out and stayed up late. The music was so loud and it left me feeling awful afterwards. I went to school for the next whole week and was still dealing with the constant pills, and the constant pain. After that week, my headache was still there and not going away; so I went to Dr. Yu to get prescribed medicine for headaches. He gave me a prescription called Nortriptyline. I was to take this once a night, every night. That pill had side effects though. It was possible to have suicidal thoughts which could lead to suicide eventually. It could make me angry faster, and have a shorter temper with my family and friends. Oh, and one
more thing, he told me my entire sports career was over for the rest of my life. As you can imagine, I had a lot on my mind other than school. I was angry all the time. I didn’t say it or show it, but deep down I was angry. I was also annoyed. I was annoyed because I just wanted to get back to school. I wanted to be apart of the soccer team I was missing. It caused me stress to think about all the work I had done to get ready for that year in soccer. It all went down the drain, and I would have to start all over next year. It got so bad that it was all I was thinking about all the time. Every time I would talk about it to someone I would start to cry. I remember in one of my classes I didn’t talk and hardly made eye contact with anyone. My emotions got the best of me and I even at times, I was a little mad at God. I never admitted to this, but I was. I thought about why he would have done this to me. Every time I thought this way though, I also

Have you ever stumbled on an app or a website that makes you think, “why”? What person would come up with this app, and expect people to use and enjoy it? Who spends all their time and energy on this? Well, here is an app that will waste your life. The app this week is called 20 useless apps. The app consists of 20 different mini games that last about 5 seconds each, and they have a really dumb objective. The grass growing simulator is just a screen with grass on it, and it does absolutely nothing. There is also a pit jumper, where a man repeatedly jumps over a pit, and never makes it to the other side no matter how hard you try. And the thumb gym, well it could be more of a work out than it is. If you spend at least one minute with each app, you will have wasted twenty minutes of your life. Unfortunately, there are many more apps just as bad as this one.
