rowing Choir and band Walker G announces concert really “Pops” with God drug testing God’s
In state news:
plan for aid recipients
staff reporter
Kiana Krzajinik
On January 22, Governor Scott Walker announced that he would be lobbying for recipients of welfare to be required to take drug tests before receiving money. In other states and the federal government, measures such as these have been ruled unconstitutional. Walker’s reasoning for this is that he has talked with employers, many of whom are small business owners, that say there are plenty of jobs, they just need workers. The ideal workers are any people who can show up to work five times a week and pass a drug test. However, these jobs are not always good enough to support one person, let alone entire families. “We need people who are drug free,” said Walker. The cost of the proposal is unknown, which is especially unwelcome to taxpayers. Wisconsin already needs to be dug out of a budget shortfall. Before any new programs are implemented it is important to know what they would cost the government, and by extension working-class citizens. “Whether it’s unemployment training, we’re going to seek a waiver for food stamps, seek a waiver for Medicaid. We’re going to make changes in terms of W2--in each of these areas of public assistance. This is about getting people ready for work,” said Walker. For those already receiving welfare benefits, the law would be an additional burden requiring time to be taken away from work to go through drug tests. Add that to the multiple weeks it takes to receive assistance in the first place, and it is easy to see why this measure is not a popular one. However, like any decision, there are both pros and cons and these should both be examined before passing judgment. The results of this proposal will be made public within the week.

After a slight delay due to harsh weather, the Pops Concert finally took place on Wednesday. Family and friends swarmed to watch another display of the talent present at Lakeside. The A Cappella choir, as a whole, sang “Time After Time,” while, separately, the boys performed “The Longest Time,” a Billy Joel classic, and the girls sang Taylor Swift’s “Safe and Sound.” The cantate choir performed “On Broadway from A Chorus Line” along with “Cry Me a River” while the Freshmen chipped in with “Go the Distance.” The Warrior Band stole the show

Young Operation: Go artists participants chosen showcased staff reporter

On Wednesday, Lakeside welcomed gradeschoolers to the LES Visual Art Fair. This is something they have been doing for over twenty years. The art pieces are contributed by kids from fifth to eighth grade who have decided to participate in this contest. Every year, kids from local private schools are encouraged to create an original art piece of their choice to submit and showcase. This year, about sixteen schools have entered, and there are more than 180 submitted pieces. The art teachers at each school choose two or three of the best pieces and send them to be judged by six qualified judges at Lakeside. “We just want to encourage students to be creative and use other talents they might not usually use,” said Mrs. Tetzlaff, the art teacher at Lakeside. Based on originality, composition, difficulty, and presentation, the artwork was judged. There was ribbons given to all the pieces. Some works, usually between eight and eleven pieces, get a “Judges Choice Award” and get something a little extra. The art varied in style, and there was many unique and interesting pieces. It was viewable in the halls before the Pops Concert. Parens and students enjoyed marveling at the creative abilities God has given to these young artists.

Last Friday, the names of participants and locations to which they will be traveling for Operation: Go were announced by Pastor Davison. Due to the large amount of interest and talent available, four separate trips were planned. The first trip will be to Louisville, Kentucky in July. The people on this trip are Sydney Gronemeyer, Justin Rue, Elliot Butler, and Keyera Giese. The next week, a different group will also travel to Louisville. This group includes Alex Kohlstedt, Samantha Schwoch, and Becca Doering. Also in August, the group including Jennifer Schubkegel, Alyssa Sonntag, Kendal Denson, and Patience Letko will travel to New Jersey. Traveling the farthest will be Nora Raube, Nick Zank, Nora Stake, and Derek Gulrud. They will be leaving America to lead a soccer
camp in Canada. These groups will do a variety of things on their trips. Some will be canvassing for churches in non-religious neighborhoods, some will be leading vacation Bible school classes, and some will be leading Christian-based camps. Some of the teachers will be chaperoning these groups, but that is undecided as of now. Probably the biggest challenge accompanied with these trips is the cost. Each trip costs somewhere around $400 to cover the cost of an airplane ticket. The participants will be setting up pages online through Kingdom Workers where donations can be made. Lakeside hopes to renew this opportunity every year. The groups are all very excited about this amazing opportunity and would greatly appreciate anyone’s thoughts, prayers, encouragement, or maybe even donations.

“The slave drivers kept pressing them, saying, “Complete the work required of you for each day.”” Exodus 5:13 staff reporter
Alex Pillard
From sleeping in to early mornings and piles of homework, students stay up super late to try and complete their homework, and then get only a couple hours of sleep. Other students save their homework for study hall or the bus ride, and a couple students save their homework for the last possible minute. God tells believers in Exodus to complete the work they have each day. He wants them to do it honestly and to the best of their ability. He does not want sloppy, last minute work, but work that was completed with some pride. This does not just apply to homework, but to chores, sports, and even your attendance at school. God wants students to strive to do their very best at school and outside of school. Sometimes students get piled up with homework and have to stay up late to finish, but they should still do it to the best of their ability. Complete the work as if it was for Christ.
