In local news: Protests continue throughout Madison editor-in-chief
Sydney Gronemeyer
Last Friday, 19-year-old biracial male, Tony Robinson, was shot and killed by police officer Matt Kenny. This incident has resurrected chaos in riots in the city of Madison. Officer Kenny encountered Robinson while investigating a call that stating that Robinson was jumping in and out of traffic and had assaulted someone. The officer heard a disturbance and forced his way into the apartment where Robinson had gone. According to authorities, Kenny fired after Robinson began to assault him. Locals dispute that Robinson was unarmed and nonviolent. This raises the unanwerable question of if Kenny made the right choice to shoot. Since the shooting, many black leaders have led peaceful protests and marches through the city. The police chief apologized for the death of Robinson, but admitted no wrongdoing. The investigation of the event is currently ongoing. Many people have been working for years to address Madison’s racial disparities. They hope that this shooting will bring necessary attention to the underlying problem in Madison. “This is one of the best places in America, and I love this community. But until we solve some of the issues in this city, we can’t call ourselves progressive,” said Michael Johnson, leader of the Boys and Girls Club of Dane County. “It’s like a cancer. You have to root out the problems causing the economic challenges for the city.” The shooting occurred on Williamson Street, the street where openly gay liberal congressman, Mark Pocan, used to live. Pocan made a statement saying that black men in Madison are arrested at eight times the rate of white men. Racism has always been a quite issue in Madison, and in light of recent events, is receiving a lot of attention. Protests from the city have gained national attention due to their relevancy in the nationwide issue of racism and police brutality.

A Capella Choir leaves for the Golden State staff reporter
Moriah Hackbarth
As Lakeside’s spring break approaches next week, students can be found already discussing the various trips they have planned. However, as one heads to the east side of the Lakeside building, he or she can hear that the A Capella Choir is doing more than just discussing the trip they get to take to California this year. They can be found practicing more than ten different songs that they will have to perform at various churches in California. However, while singing is sure
to be filling up the students’ schedule there is a lot more planned in their itinerary: On Saturday, the majority of the choir will fly out to California. Sunday, the choir will already be singing for a church. In the afternoon, they will tour Hollywood and then head to the Santa Monica Pier. They will wrap up their first full day with a concert performance of all the religious songs that they have learned this year. On Monday, the choir spends the entire day at Disneyland. On Tuesday, the choir tours Christ Cathedral and sings at churches.
Wednesday is a full day at Sacramento and, again, singing. On Thursday, the choir will have a fun in San Francisco as they get to ride the cable cars and have lunch in Chinatown. On Friday, the choir raps up the exciting week by touring Alcatraz, walking the Golden Gate, and touring the Redwood Forest. On Saturday, unfortunately, the A Capella Choir will once again have to return to the Dairy State of Wisconsin (which does not even produce as much milk as California!) and leave the 80 degree temperature of California behind.
Eighty-three pints of blood

Elizabeth Cichanofsky
Lakeside held its blood drive this past Tuesday. First, they came in and got registered. Then, their blood was checked, and if it looked okay, they were able to donate blood. After they gave blood, they got to relax and eat sloppy joes, cookies, and other munchies. The total amount of time that it took a student to give blood was about an hour. The 24 members of the student council all helped out with the event, along with four additional seniors. 83 people successfully donated their blood on Tuesday. Therefore, the total amount of blood that was donated was about 85 pints. Thank you to all of those who helped with the event, and those who donated blood and those who helped with the event.

Where religion and anatomy meet “Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it.” 1 Corinthians 12:27 staff reporter
Annah Dobson
The human body is amazing. Each part depends on all the others. All parts must work together so that the body can function correctly as a whole. Each believer is a part of the body of Christ. Every person has a different function in spreading the word of Jesus. The message that he died for everyone’s sins, large or small. He has made everyone perfect in his sight. All people have a duty as a believer in him. Some were called to be preachers, others teachers, and some missionaries. As a part of this body, each part needs to do its job. If the teachers fail, then other people don’t learn of Jesus. If a preacher informs his church members of false doctrine, then part of the church body falls away. Together all believers COMPLETE the body of Christ. If anyone strays away, then the body starts to fall apart. All believers need to stay close to Jesus to keep the body of Christ together. If everyone does their job to keep the body COMPLETE, then the body of Christ moves forward in bringing people to faith. Remember, that doing the job that has been given, will help those who need it the most.
Entire forensics team state-bound yet again CNN Headlines
editor-in-chief

On Monday, the entire forensics team advanced to the state competition. In order to do this, each of the 25 participants must have had to score higher than a 20 out of 25 for two of the three rounds. Outstandingly, for the past five or more years, each and every one of Lakeside’s forensics team’s participants has completed this difficult task. While this may seem like an easy task to some, one must realize
how big of an accomplishment this truly is. Most schools do not even ever get a full team of 25, and on average, only half to three-fourths of the other teams’ participants advance to state. The state competition will be held on Friday, April 17 at University of Wisconsin, Madison. Students will spend the day on state street, and end with their one, final performance. The day before state, Thursday, April 16, the team will be hold-
ing a friends and family night at Lakeside. Anyone and everyone is invited to come to this event and discover the true talent of the entire forensics team. Lakeside’s forensics team has been blessed with incredible talent. They finished the year last year with a state championship over more than 300 schools--something the school has never done. They hope to do the same this year, but are already so grateful to have the opportunity just to go to state.
