No more Math (for someof us), no more Biology, no more splittingheadaches from stressing overhow much we have to do. At least,until the fall. But there are other feelingsas well. Looking back, many ofus have found moments full of regret,things we wish we had done. Whichis why here in Newspaper we’ve compileda list of things every Saint shoulddo before graduation.1. Climb the Rope in the WrestlingRoom.Personally, I think it would benice if everyone in the school just figuredout where the wrestling room wasbefore they graduated. Plus, as JoshLodoly was kind enough to point out,when you fall, at least you have a softlanding.2. Take several group shots with“Santa Claus” (aka, Mr. Farnan).Looking back, its fun to see thepictures from freshman year and obsessover how young everyone looksand who you were friends with thenthat maybe you aren’t friends withnow. Besides, where else are you goingto find twenty kids all struggling tosit on the same couch just so they cansit next to Santa?3. Eat lunch in the courtyardA privilege only extended to seniors,this is an opportunity many failto take advantage of. After a winter ofbeing stuck in doors all day, it is immenslysatisfying to be able to spendat least part of your stressful springsemester out in the sun. As an addedbonus for those of you who look sicklypale after a season inside, it’s a greattime to start to gain back a little color.4. Tailgate in the parking lotPersonally, I suggest breakfastbefore school so you have a decentstart to a hard day, but you could tailgateat any time. Dinner before a bigfootball game. A snack after school. Ifyou’re feeling up to it, I suppose youcould also tailgate at lunchtime overthe weekend...5. Attend a bonfireWhether it be a class bonfire orjust a small group, this is one of themost important things you must dobefore graduating. Wherever there’sa big fire, marshmallows, and plentyof chocolate, you’re going to havea good time. You are also more thanlikely going to find yourself hangingout with people you don’t usually talkto. Trust me, as graduation approaches,you will definately wish you haddone this.The point is, you don’t want toleave high school with any regrets.Your list may be longer and more detailed.If you don’t have a list, makeone. Underclassman--good luck.And seniors, guess what? We finallymade it. dTwo seniors spent an unplannedseventeen days visitingHolocaust memorial sitesKATIE HEITFront Page EditorThe call to serve one’s country isasked of everyone, but not everyone answers.Only a handful of seniors have answeredthe call to serve.Seth Canzoneri will be a member ofthe United States Army Reserves, JamesDunham will be a member of the UnitedStates Marine Corps, Adam Woods willjoin the National Guard and Jake Walkerwill be at the United States MerchantMarine Academy.For Walker, the future had a big impacton his decision to join.“College will be free,” said Walker.“And I’ll be able to get a job after graduating,plus I always thought it would becool to be in the military.”Senior Adam Woods is following inhis grandfather’s footsteps and joiningthe National Guard.“My grandpa was in the Marines,”said Woods. “But I just wanted to join themilitary in honor of him.”Canzoneri is following in his mother’sfootsteps by joining the United StatesArmy Reserves. After doing ROTC at theUniversity of Missouri, Canzoneri willbe in a six year contract with the Army.“I’m excited to see where ROTCtakes me,” said Canzoneri. “HopefullyI’ll be able to decide whether or not Iwant to continue my Army career.”Dunham hopes to make a career outof the military.“[As a combat engineer] I’ll get toset up communications and get rid ofIt’s the trip of a lifetime; two weeksspent touring various Holocaust memorialsites throughout Europe. For seniorsLibby Reichmuth and James Dunham,along with Holocaust Literature teacherLisa Bauman, the trip quickly becamemore when they were stranded in Krakow,Poland for five extra days due to arecent volcanic eruption that left all airtravel out of Europe impossible.“We went to learn about the Holocaustand to learn about injustice in theworld and how it affects everyone and tostop it from happening again,” Dunhamsaid.The original plan was for the trioto spend twelve days in various Europeancountries. The result was a seventeenday trip that took the students andteacher through many key places duringthe Nazi regime. Paired with three otherschools, two from New Jersey and onefrom California, the group was immediatelythrown into the trip.“We left the Monday after Easter at10 AM, flew all day, and arrived in Berlinat 7 or 8 o’clock the next morning.We went right into it,” Reichmuth said.The group of seventeen spent threedays in Berlin, beforeheading toPrague, and endingtheir travels in Krakow,where theyspent the extra fivedays of their trip.“Prague wasmy favorite city,”Dunham said, “I wish we could havebeen stranded there. It’s beautiful. Itwasn’t bombed during the war, so everythingthere was older and it lookedamazing.”The group visited various concentrationcamps during their trip, includingthe death camp Auschwitz and its associatedwork camp Birkenau.“Auschwitz was a great one timeexperience, but I wouldn’t go again,”Reichmuth said. “It was emotionally exhaustingand I felt nauseous the wholetime we were there.”The students were also given anopportunity that Bauman, who was beenThough many Aquinas studentshave been involved with the CatholicYouth Organization (CYO) for years,few know about the struggle for reformthat has been taking place within the organization.“The by-laws have beenamended a lot over the last few years,”said former Holy Cross athletic directorRich Weitz, who is currently the trackcoach at St. James Academy.The CYO is governed by an ExecutiveBoard. The role of the ExecutiveBoard, according to three-year boardmember SeanReilly, is to overseethe directionof the CYO.“We’re supposedto see thatthe activities aregoing accordingto the by-laws,”Reilly said. “Justlike any board, we’re there to make surethat the organization is doing what it’sSeniors answer the call to dutyJOSH LODOLYJoshua Tree EditorIEDs (improvised explosive devices),”said Dunham. “Plus I get to carry a gun,so that’s a bonus.”Canzoneri enjoys using all the differentweapons the Army has to offer.“When I got back from Basic [Training],I spent all my money on my ownM4 (an assault rifle),” said Canzoneri.“I go to the shooting range almost everyother weekend.”Most of the seniors going into themilitary are already enlisted and somehave already begun training. Canzoneri’sBasic Training occurred last summer inFort Jackson, South Carolina, and he willcontinue his Advanced Individual Trainingthis summer for 12 weeks. Dunhamis already a Private First Class and willbegin Basic Training in September. AfterBasic, he’ll start his Military OccupationalSpecialty training.At first Dunham was going to doROTC for the Army at Pittsburg StateUniversity, but changed his mind after aspecial phone call.“I got a call from a Marine recruiter,”said Dunham. “We talked a whileand I came in to see him the next day,and I wanted to join. I like that they’remore selective and have better training.”Originally, Walker was going to jointhe Coast Guard Academy, but realizedhe’ll benefit more with the Merchant Marines.“When you graduate you’ll be a certifiedofficer,” said Walker. “You’ll beahead of the Coast Guard, and you won’tbe active duty but you’ll spend time on aship.” don four study tours, was quite excitedabout.

It mademe wonder howmany survivorshave lived outtheir lives and never told their stories.”Reichmuth and Dunham also visitedTerezinstadt, a concentration campin Prague, Czech Republic. At Terezinstadt,they were given a tour by a survivorwho had spent the Holocaust in thatcamp. Reichmuth referred to it as themost “surreal experience” of the wholetrip, hearing about the camp from someonewho had lived through it.“My favorite part of the trip wasjust being where everything happened,because you got a sense of how it happenedand what people were feeling andwhat was going through their minds atthe time,” Dunham said.supposed to be doing.”By visiting cyojwa.org, anyoneis free to view themembers of CYO’sExecutive Board andthe by-laws they aregoverned by.

It was coolto be there for such a big event.”A few days later, Reichmuth andDunham were among the first to visitthe former President’s tomb, which waslocated in the catacombs beneath thechurch in which Pope John Paul II saidhis first mass as a priest.Other activities during the unplanneddays included bowling and atrip to a local ski resort where the groupwent shopping and went down the Alpineslides.“One of the teachers said our groupwas one of the best groups to get stuckin Europe because we all got along sowell,” Reichmuth said.The blog of the seventeen day tripcan be found at hst10@blogspot.com“I just hope the Holocaust StudyTour continues to grow and more kidsat Aquinas take advantage of it becauseit really is a life-changing experience,”said Bauman. dCYO reforms take hold, improve transparencyLINDSEY MAYFIELDEditor-in-chiefWe’re supposed to see thatactivites are going according tothe bylaws.- Sean ReillyThree year CYO board membersecure.“The meetings were secret, and nobodycould go to them,” said Holy Crossparishioner Tim O’Brien.In March of 2003, a set of by-lawswere finally secured by Holy Cross parishionerMatt Harding.

2The ShieldAround the Globe May 6, 2010A Minority of TaxpayersMeans Major Problemsthe BUSINESS CORNERIn 2009, 47 percent of householdsdidn’t owe a dime in federal income taxes.The figure, estimated by the non-partisanTax Policy Center, shows 71 millionhouseholds did not owe any federal incometax in 2009. Of that 71 million, morethan 63 millionmake under $50kper year, and almost6 millionmake between$50k and $100kper year.Some inthose groups willget additionalmonetary relief because they may qualifyfor government tax breaks. And thenthere are six thousand people who makeover $1 million who did not pay federal incometaxes. Clearly, figuring out who paysincome taxes and how much they pay issomething of a convoluted and confusingprocess.But the overall problem with the taxsystem couldn’t be muchmore obvious.47 percent: that’s fourpercentage points away fromreaching a majority of nonfederalincome taxpayers. Ifa non-taxpaying majority isreached in the U.S., this majoritycan easily vote itselffreebies and government lollipops.And it’s not difficult toguess where the country will go fromthere: as Alexis de Tocqueville, a famousFrench author, once said, "A democracycannot exist as a permanent form of government.It can only exist until the votersdiscover they can vote themselves largessout of the public treasury."It is somewhat extremeto say the U.S. governmentSTEPHEN BRANDAround the Globe EditorA democracy cannot exist as apermanent form of government.It can only exist until the votersdiscover they can vote themselveslargess out of the public treasury.- Alexis de Tocquevillewill collapse, but it isn’t completely out ofthe question at some point in the reasonablefuture.Especially when this problem is comingat a time in which the government facesan even bigger financial issue: a nationaldebt of nearly $13 trillion.According to the 2008film “I.O.U.S.A.”, if onewere to add up all of thegovernment’s unfundedMedicare and Social Securitypromises, the $13trillion figure is expectedto rise to $53 trillion. If anon-taxpaying majoritywere to be reached, the majority wouldonly increase this expected debt, as theywould pay in less to the system and takeout more. This type of spending can besustained for only so long.The current presidential administration’sintent as shown through the AmericanRecovery and Reinvestment Act isclear: they want to make the tax system fairand supportiveof themiddle class;47%The percentage ofhouseholds that did notowe federal income taxesfor 2009and theymay thinkthey are doingso. Thefairness ofpenalizingAmericansmore simplybecausethey have financially done well, however,is questionable. Because of this policy, thegovernment is taking away the incentivefor Americans to work harder or achievemore.For a country founded on classicalrepublicanism, where all citizens did theirpart because it was in the best interest ofthe greater community, that’s a shame.NUMBERS6Reasons whyAdobe’s Flash softwareshouldn’t be used formobile devices, accordingto a letter written byApple CEO Steve Jobs.29Paragraphs writtenby Jobs in the lettercriticizing Flash.$6.8 billionThe combined value ofUnited and Continentalon April 30, the lastclose before themerger.110 billionThe three-year valuein euros of Greece’sbailout deal.Business BriefsAIRLINESBIG OLD JET AIRLINERUnited Airlines and ContinentalAirlines merge, passingup Delta as the world’slargest passenger airline.

The juniors tied with the sophomoresfor second, winning the chariotrace. The sophomores took first in thebarrel race and the orange chin while thefreshman placed first in knock-out.The first event was the chariot race.The sophomore team lost one of theirmembers, Rylee Shea, less than halfwayacross the gym, earning a fourth placefinish.“If I wouldn’t have fallen out I thinkwe would have won because we had agreat finish,” Shea said.The sophomores and the juniorscompeted in a consolation dodgeballmatch. All the freshmen were quicklyeliminated except one, Maddie Greer.“It was a little freaky, I won’t lie,and sophomores are kind of scary,” saidGreer. “I just didn’t want to get out. If Icould’ve thrown better, maybe freshmenwould have had a better shot.”Though the lone freshman was ableto get a few sophomores out, she wassoon defeated, leaving the sophomoreswith third place and freshman takingfourth.The next event was human curling.It is just like normal curling except insteadof a curling a stone, an Aquinas studentis pushed atop a flat scooter. In thethird round, with the stakes high, seniorspushed their student-clad scooter into aprime point-earning position. However,the sophomore human curling team laterran into the senior’s human-curling stoneand pushed them down to a lower pointrange.“Who knew the sophomores wouldmake those helmets come in handy,” saidsenior Michael Jones.One of the newest additions to theevent was four corners. Unlike the otherevents in Spring Olympics, four cornerswas based purely on luck. This gameconsisted of four boxes, a giant die and10 members ofeach class. Whilemusic played, studentschose a cornerto stand in. Iftheir number wasrolled, the playerwas eliminated.“It was a little freaky, I won’tlie, and sophomores are kind ofscary,”- Maddie Greer,freshmanSenior andwinner of fourcorners Josh Lodoly, said, “I just wentwhere my class told me to go.”Austin Scherzer a freshman, wonknock-out, a popular basketball game,defeating junior Kyle Whigham in dramaticfashion.“I thought it was great and Austindid awesome,” said freshman ChristinaMetzger. “Everyone went wild. It wasreally cool that a freshman was able towin.”Next, the juniors faced off with theseniors in dodgeball for first and secondplace. This game was eventful, straydodgeballs flying in every direction. Onethrown by an angry eliminated studenteven hit a spectator in the head. Thoughjuniors put up a fairfight, this game resultedin a seniorvictory.The competition’sother newevent, barrel racing,was won by sophomoreErik Bensonwith a time of 16seconds. Second went to senior JamiePrendergast with a time of 18.5 seconds.Third went to Luke Steele of the juniorclass with 19 seconds, and freshmanBobby Morrie came in fourth with a timeof 24 seconds.The gauntlet is a relay race withthe combination of a three-legged race,wheel barrowing, barrel roll and cupstacking. Although the sophomores hada strong showing in this event, the seniorsfinished with the win.“Cup stacking is intense,” said sophomoreMax Wilber. “But all we neededto do was make two pyramids of threeand one of six, which made it less stressfulthan a real cup stacking competition.”The final event was the orange chin,a game where the first team member putsan orange under their chin and using onlytheir chin and neck, passes it on to thenext player. The first team to get the fruitacross their line of students wins.It was neck and neck the entire time,with both the senior and sophomoreteams appearing to have finished first.However, sophomores were deemed thewinners.“It was intense! Everyone was goingcrazy!” said junior Colleen Reardon.Seniors won with a total of 26points, earning enough class competitionpoints to win the extra day off of school.Juniors placed second with 22 points.Sophomores placed third with 19 points,and freshman came in fourth with 13points. d

The Shieldfeatures5 May 6 , 2010Student profile: Inside the life of Michelle McOskerMICHAEL CARLSONReporterWhile most student jobs are of the lawn mowing, food service or retailvariety, junior Michelle McOsker is lucky enough to have employment atArrowhead Stadium, home to the Kansas City Chiefs and Wizards. She isalso successful in debate, is an avid music fan and has found an inspiringway to change the lives of others.What is your job at Arrowhead?I work in the club section in thefall and do things such as helpingpeople find their seats, a place tosmoke—almost anything theyask. During injuries and timeouts,I have to be visible in casesomeone wants something.What was the interview processlike?Actually, I was on a trip whenthey were doing interviews, soafter I got back, I talked to theguy in charge; he said I couldfill in for people when they weregone. Even though I missedtraining too, I eventually got towork there full time.Have you met any Chiefs personnelthrough the job?I’ve met Bobby Bell (Chiefs DEand Pro Football Hall of FameMember) and Dallas Pioli, ScottPioli’s wife, who was just a reallysweet person. For the most partthough, we aren’t allowed toacknowledge people since we areworking security as well.That part of the job (security)was especially hard during theBig 12 Championship gamebetween KU and MU. You hada bunch of seriously drunk fansfighting all over the place—itwas literally the game from hell.Has the job affected yourschoolwork at all? I’m sure thehours are long.It did, since I had to be therefrom nine to five usually, andthen I’d go to church and youthgroup afterwards. I’m alreadylazy about doing homeworkbefore church, but working atArrowhead just gave me evenmore of an excuse not to do it.I understand you’re in debate aswell. How long have you beendoing that?I started in freshman year, andthis year has been my third in theprogram.What has this year been likecompared to other years?Compared to novice year, thingswent really well. Back then, mybiggest problem was that I didn’thave a stable partner, but thatchanged this year with [junior]Casey Hancock.We finished third at state thisyear and first at a few other tournaments.Can you recall any particularlymemorable or funny momentsduring this season?Our team had an unofficial mascotthis year. It was basically theresult of [juniors] Maggie Bernardand Amanda Gress needingan extra box for papers and flows(helps keep track of arguments)and stuff. They ended up namingit “Lil’ Box.”Now for some more generalquestions—favorite book andmovie?For book, I would have to saythe graphic novel “Watchmen”by Alan Moore, and my favoritemovie would probably be “TheFifth Element.”How about your favorite band/COUIRTESY OF MICHELLE GRESS/Besides being on the debate team, Michelle McOsker is also a great addition to the Forensics team .In the top left picture Michelle practices with teammate Maggie Bernard at forensics State in Topeka. The top right picture shows Michelle concentrating andfocusing on her upcoming speech.artist and concert?Wow, that’s a hard one. Mymost favorite band has beenGreen Day for quite sometime, but the solo stuff by JulianCasablancas, the singer for TheStrokes, is also really good.If you had asked me a few weeksago, I would have said that myfavorite concert was Green Dayat the Sprint Center, but it’schanged to the recent FlamingLips and Dead Weather concertat the Sandstone—which ispretty incredible for me to say,since, like I said, Green Day is myfavorite band.How many concerts have youbeen to would you say?Legit concerts where they costsomething? Nine.I’ve been to one emo show typething, which was an embarrassingphase of my life, and I’mplanning on seeing Muse inNovember.Finally, what’s something thatstudents might not know aboutyou?This isn’t really that big, but horrormovies don’t scare me, theyeither make me laugh or grossme out.Hmm, now that I think about it, abetter answer would probably bethat I want all of Aquinas to writein my journal. All they need todo is find me and ask.A journal? Who do you havewrite in it usually?I have random people write init whether I know them or not.It’s pretty much whatever peoplewant to write.A scrapbook of quotes so tospeak?Yeah, there’s a little blurb on thefront page that explains what theidea is. I feel that every singleperson has a story, and I wish Icould hear them all.Out of all the entries, which onewas the most memorable to youpersonally?There’s this entry from a guynamed Bobby, who’s, like, 19 or20 and lives in California. Hewas a complete stranger sittingnext to me and my family. . . atbreakfast in the L.A. hotel wewere staying at.He talked about how he’s beenthrough a lot, and didn’t want toend up like that, so he decidedto leave everything on the pageand start over. He ends it with“Thank you, whoever you are.This book has set me free.”Where did you get the inspirationto start the journal?I still don’t know. People ask meall the time, but I can’t rememberhow I got it.I think I was a little inspired by“Post Secrets.” People write asecret of theirs on a postcardand mail them to a guy who publishesthem in a book, but it staysanonymous, so no one knowswho it’s by.Anything else you’d like to add?Smile for once; people neversmile in the halls, they alwayswalk by with this look on theirface which says “I can’t talk toyou.”dTeacher Spotlight: Off- season jobs for the summertimeKATIE DRAPEFeatures EditorTeacher ContactsSeveral teachers at Saint ThomasAquinas spend their summersdoing very interesting jobs inorder to make some extra cash.For many St. Thomas Aquinas teachers,summer is a great time to make some extramoney. Several teachers do this bytaking on some very unique jobs.Phil Farnan, Theology teacher, spendshis summer doing fix-it jobs in homes.“I pretty much do any carpenter repairs,electrical repairs, and putting upceiling fans,” said Farnan.He enjoys it because of the independentfactor.“The best part is working by myselfand kind of calling my own shots,” hesaid. “I get to work when I want to andI’m in control of it.”Latin teacher Greg Wilson also worksan independent job as a house painter andvideographer.“In videographer, I probably do about25-30 per year and a one-quarter of themare STA alums,” said Wilson. “I also domany graduations and First Communionsthis time of year.”He loves being involved in the joy ofthese occasions.“They’re happy occasions and everyoneis just celebrating and having aparty,” said Wilson.“You get to be a part of it while videotaping,”he added.Not only has Wilson spent severalyears in videography, but he has alsopainted houses for the past 25 years.“In some years I’ve had as many as9 or 10 houses, and this year I’m doingabout four,” he said.Math teacher Jim Halling and Theologyteacher Kathleen Halling also enjoypainting houses in the summer.“I love being outside and seeing theprogress of a place,” Kathleen Hallingsaid.“I’d much rather be outside in the summertimeand cooped up in an office,” shesaid.She mostlyhandles outsidepainting jobs,but also takeson some interiorwork.“I’ll sometimespaint insiderooms, or woodwork,and sometimesI do muralsfor people,” shesaid.I’d much rather be outside duringthe summertime than coopedup in an office.Her husband, Jim Halling, handlessimilar responsibilites.“I prepare the houses to be painted– replacingrotten boards, scraping, primingand washing – and I paint the houses,”Jim Halling said.He has been doing this for 20 yearsand has done about 70 houses. He alsoagrees with the appeal of being able towork outside and see the job completed.“I like to work outside and I enjoymanual labor,” he said.Diane Pyle, Director of Admissions,has a much different job.

8The ShieldShakespeare FestivalThis features a professional showthisyear King Richard III- that takesplace in the Southmoreland Park, directlynext to the Nelson-Atkins Museum ofArt. The shows are free, and you canbring your own blankets or lawn chairs toenjoy the show. It takes place from June15- July 3 at 8 p.m. Tuesday throughWith summer fast approaching,many students will soon be spendingtheir summer days working, sleeping,and soaking up some sun. For thosewho get bored during those lazy days ofsummer, here are some popular placesaround town to spend those long summerdays and nights.Town Center PlazaTown Center is very popularshopping spot in Johnson County, withnew shops always opening. The outdoorshopping center offers many uniquestores to the Johnson County area,including Vera Bradley for women andKansas Sampler for men. Along with thecenter’s more unique shops, there arealso basic stores found in every shoppingmall such as Macys and American Eagle.Also included at Town Center is AMC20 Theaters, so be sure to check out thelatest summer blockbusters. Since TownCenter is an outdoor shopping center, itis a great place to spend a warm summernight relaxing with friends.Entertainment May 6, 2010Summer movie previews with Joe KucharskiRemakesThe Karate Kid- This story of the masterand his students has lasted the test of time, as itis reborn in 2010. The new cast will hopefullypay homage to the great story, which wasoriginally told by Ralph Macchio and PatMorita. It will now be told by Jackie Chan andJaden Smith (son of Will Smith). Althoughmany people are ready for an exact replica ofthe original, they are sadly mistaken. This newmovie does not have the same character name,nor is the setting the same. Unfortunately,there will be no Mr. Miyagi. 3 out of 5Nightmare on Elm Street- Granted thismovie has had countless sequels; the creatorhas decided to allow a remake. Thankfullythey are going to change the original settingto the present to change up the near flawlessfirst film. The hardest change to accept in theFreddie Krueger franchise is the man behindthe blades and striped sweater. The producershave made the character of Freddie be playedby Jackie Earle Haley. Not many peopleknow him by name but his recent roles includethe insane hero/detective Rorschach fromWatchmen, or the 50 thousand dollar winninghippy in Semi-Pro known as Dukes. Nothingagainst Mr. Haley, he is a great actor, but hedoes not have any business playing the role ofFreddie Krueger. Robert Englund perfectedthe terrifying act in the original film in 1984with that frightening and eerie voice of his.Jackie Haley, in comparison, doesn’t have thechops. 2 out of 5 SequelsSex and the City II- While this is not mytype of genre for a movie, it still has a largefan base and people seem very excited forthis sequel. The story of these four womenseems to have kept going through 1 book,94 episodes on HBO, a movie, and still hasenough plot structure to make another movie.That is an achievement to say the least. Plus,with different media sources and long runningtime (1998-2004), there is bound to be anenormous fan base connected to it. Now,Miranda, Carrie, Samantha and Charlotte aregoing to do at least one more movie and itcan be predicted that it will do very well. Onthe contrary, the fan base is a little one sidedbecause men don’t seem to gravitate to thisgenre of movie. 1 out of 5 Student PlaylistJunior Annie Clark gives hersuggestions for different typesof music.Favorite running song- “MiseryBusiness” by ParamoreFavorite chill songs- “Half of MyIron Man II- Robert Downey Jr. is back inthe next installment in this fantastic Iron Mansaga. The movie also has gotten an even bettersupporting cast to attribute to Downey Jr.’sperformance. Gwyneth Paltrow will still beplaying the role of his secretary Pepper Potts,but his friend in the air force (Rhodey) hadbeen changed from Terence Howard to DonCheadle. Even the villain’s cast has beenstacked with stars. Mickey Rourke, star ofthe wrestler, will be playing whiplash andScarlet Johansson, star of “He’s Just Not ThatInto You,” will be playing Natasha Romanoff.Not saying Jeff Bridges did not do a great jobplaying the villain in the first Iron Man, but theproducers have more than filled his shoes withthese two stars. 5 out of 5 ThreequelsTwilight III (Eclipse)- The third installmenthas arrived. The long awaited third bookhas become a movie. Bella and Edward arehalfway done with telling their story of eternallove, and another piece will be open to therest of the public who doesn’t read the booksbut either like the story line or are draggedto the theater by their girlfriend. Regardlesshopefully this movie is better than the last.Most people say that the second film was filledwith more action, but the real truth is that it isstill a dramatic love story. There will mostlikely be more twists as the first two moviesculminate because the first two story linesmeet. Unfortunately too much has been saidand too much information can’t be spoiled. 4out of 5 for women , and a 1 out of5 for men who will see it with their girlfriends.Toy Story III- The fact of the matter is,there should not have been a Toy Story 2. Thefirst Toy Story was amazing and the peopleinvolved with this movie should not alter whatis already a great children’s/ young people’smovie. It is a young people’s movie toobecause no one can be too old for Toy Story.It would be nice to see a new movie with theold pals Buzz (Tim Allen) and Woody (TomHanks), and they are making this movie in3D. Another upside to seeing this movie isthat despite its long retirement, the voices arestill the same for all the characters. 3 out of5 Local summer activties that do not break the bankMany ways to enjoy the amenitiesof Kansas City and savesome money at the same time.ROZ HENNReporterSunday and also on Monday June 28.Friday Night FlicksOn Friday nights at Crown Center,starting July 2, the annual free Fridaynight flick series starts.

The Shield 10The Joshua TreeMay 6, 2010What to do with a SharpieBeelzebub: Draw devil horns on your palmsso the tips of the horns face away from thethumbs. Place your hands on each side of yourhead. Now you’ll have demonic powers likeraising the dead, playing the fiddle almost asgood as Charlie Daniels, and the ability towatch “The Adventures of Pluto Nash” in onesitting. Unfortunately there are side effects.You will grow hooves, sprout a tail, steal everyone’sright shoe, sing show tunes, and attemptto drag souls to hell.Mr. Moustache: Draw a line from yourthumbs to the centers of your palms, curvingthe line when you reach your palms (*sameas Anarchy*). With this moustache you willobtain all the powers of Mario and Luigi, likesmashing bricks with your bare hands, beingable to stop bullets by jumping on them, andconstantly fighting a somewhat large, spiky,turtle-looking dragon in order to save a princesswho always happens to be in anothercastle.Crazy Mouth: Draw a large, open mouth onthe back of your hand; one side of the mouthwill be at the thumb, the other will be halfwayup your index finger. Draw some largeteeth and a tongue. Now you can constantlybe yelling or be in shock. When you type onthe computer everything you say MUST BEIN ALL CAPITAL LETTERS to emphasizethat you’re yelling. You can also eat 10 timesas much food in half the time. WARNING:crazy mouth may lead to weight gain, constipationand an overactive imagination.The Thinker: Simply draw a light bulbon your palm and hold above your head.Thousands of new ideas will flow intoyour brain. Soon you will take over theworld...or never accomplish anythingbecause you’re sitting around strikingposes all day.The Charizard: Draw flames at the bottom ofyour palm shooting upwards. Place next toyour mouth and burn everything in sight. Youcan run around pretending you’re Charizard,conflagrating all the other Pokémon in yourmom’s basement. WARNING: Eating a DairyQueen Flamethrower while using this willcause you to combust.Arrowhead: Draw the head of the arrow on onepalm and the arrow’s end on the other. Placeyour hands up to your head. Now you’ve successfullyshot yourself in the head and you’remost likely dead...or you look like Cupid. Eitherway, you don’t have much going for you.Anarchy: This is the same as Mr. Moustache.These eyebrows cause you to do terriblethings like throw chairs, cut in line at theDMV, never pay for dinner, shop at Wal-Mart,read through health care bills. Whenever anyoneasks, “Where am I?” reply with, “THIS ISSPARTA!” and kick them into an endless pit.Hide The Children: Draw a mouth onthe back of your hand with jagged teethand place up to your mouth. Now runaround scaring children as if you wereMarilyn Manson. WARNING: Withthis mouth you may be mistaken for beingBowser or Dick Cheney. You mayhave to fight Mario, Luigi, Toad andseveral Democrats. Also watch out forfireballs, dragon slayers, and Al Gore.U2 wins lawsuit over ‘The Joshua Tree’ copyrightMICHAEL CARLSONReporterIrish rock band U2 won a lawsuitrecently against “The Shield”over the illegal use of its album title,The Joshua Tree.Currently the namesake of thispage, U2’s famous 1987 recordlaunched the band’s career andsolidified the band as a staple ofrock radio. Perhaps more famous issenior Josh Lodoly’s use of the nameduring the 2009 to 2010 school yeardescribing his completely true, we’renot making this stuff up, yes eventhe stuff about the blood thirsty Minotaursworking for the US government,news page.At first, Lodoly was reluctant toadmit that he completely ripped offthe name, claiming he got inspirationfrom a tall, shady oak tree namedJoshua.“Yeah, I stole it. Sue me,” saidLodoly.So that’s what The Bono andThree Other Guys Who Don’tDeserve to be on the Same StageBand U2 did, claiming that irrevocabledamages had been done to theband’s reputation as a result of thepage.U2 lead dictator singer Bono,reached via carrier pigeon in thesmall African country of Poverfaminstan,said “I don’t know if [Lodoly]told you this, but I gave him theidea for the page name while wewere saving orphans and Centaurs inRussia.”When reminded of his time inRussia at a press conference, Lodolylaughed.“I’m sure Bono forgot to mentionthe part where I gave him theidea for his band’s name,” chuckledLodoly. “He came up to me atAquinas one day because he saw myglasses and said ‘Hey, nice shades,’and I said back, ‘Thanks, you too!’And he was like, ‘Dear God, I meandear me, ‘you too?’ That’s a terrificname for a band!’”Bono hired critically acclaimedprosecutor Joe Kucharski to representthe band. Kucharski, a juniorat Aquinas, was confident the trialwould be over quickly.“I’ve been around this guy foryears, I know all his weaknesses,”said Kucharski.All the members of U2 agreedthat Kucharski had the experiencenecessary to defeat “The Shield.”The Edge, part-time superheroand part-time guitarist ofU2, said, “I think that Joe is thebest person we could have...AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH-HHHHHHHHHHH!”“Who gave you permission totalk?” asked Bono, pressing thebutton for The Edge’s shock collar.“Where were we? Oh yeah, so myshades are pretty sweet, thank youfor asking. Wait, what were we talkingabout?”In the court case, Lodoly representedhimself, calling up witnessessuch as Lindsey Buckingham ofFleetwood Mac, John Lennon ofJOSH LODOLY/ The ShieldLodoly enjoys a fine glass of Aquafina, while Bono thinks about how much better he is than everyone else.This was the first time the name “The Joshua Tree” was brought up as a possible name for a music album ora newspaper page.the Beatles, and his personal cloneto clear the paper’s name. Unfortunately,Kucharski had the strongerdefense, taking advantage of the factthat no jury can resist singing alongto “With or Without You.”All that resulted from the casewas that Lodoly could never refer to“The Joshua Tree” album again andthat he must change the page’s nameto “The Kuch Chronicle” by requestof Kucharski.“I hope Josh has no hard feelingstowards me after taking awaythe name of the one thing that matteredto him in life,” said Bono. “Ithink we can still be friends afterall this following my band’s newesttour IN 3D and my fundraising tripto Myanmar and my 5K run for thecure for cancer and another trilliondollar tour and then I guess I have tosuck up to the next presidential candidateand then release a solo album,I mean an album with U2, I mean asolo album . . . yeah, we’ll find timeto catch up.”Completely crushed, Lodoly expressedhis feelings for The JoshuaTree as he abandoned it forever.Lodoly cried out, “Oh, *Censored*,I am running to stand stillwhere the streets have no name. AsI exit God’s country with or withoutyou, I still haven’t found what I’mlooking for. Your absence is likea bullet to my blue sky in this redhill mining town I called home. Iremember when I watched you growon this one tree hill we call “TheShield,” but I tripped through yourwires and became a mother of thedisappeared. I’ve grown tired ofwriting. Instead, I will devote mytime to figure out how to dismantlean atomic bomb.” dFakeCurrent Events-NATO has sent several militariesto kill or capture the volcanothat erupted in Iceland earlier thisyear.-In his latest speech, PresidentObama declared May Day andGroundhog Day as the two mostpointless holidays, and has bannedboth holidays from being celebratedby anyone.-Although the Kansas City Royalsare currently tied for last placein their division, fans claim thatthis year is “different.” They say,“It won’t be like last year...or theyear before...or any other year.This time we’re actually going tobe really good...we swear.”-After months of searching, Frenchpresident, Nicolas Sarkozy, claimshe can’t find his military anywhere.“I’ve looked everywhere,”said Sarkozy. Later his advisersinformed him, “We’ve never technicallyhad a military, but we doknow this guy who’s really goodat shooting rifles.”-Iranian president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad,signed a treaty withthe United States to limit nuclearweapons. Ahmadinejad promisedto get rid of half of his country’snuclear weapons as long as he canstill make nukes in secrecy.-The oil spill in the Gulf of Mexicocaused hundreds of thousands ofAmericans to stop and wonder,“Where is the Gulf of Mexico?Right there? Oh yeah, I remembernow.”-

MAY 6, 2010SPORTS The Shield 11Sabatini steps up at KU Relays; Commodore returns from injuryContinued from front pageDespite the small team, the Saintsstill had high expectations entering theRelays.“We wanted to medal in multipleevents,” senior Nick Loughman said.“But we didn’t. It was a letdown. Not everyoneran their best race. As a team wedidn’t do badly, but we didn’t meet ourexpectations.”This year, the Saints have had toalter their early season expectations.Instead of focusing solely on winningmeets, Aquinas has had to work on harnessingathletes’ raw ability.“We don’t have enough all-aroundexperience right now, but we have goodathletes,” Loughman said.Two main benefits have arisen froma smaller senior class. The first is that itbrought the upperclassmen and underclassmencloser together.“I was worried about not having theseniors I normally run, with but it hasn’treally bothered me because I love the juniors,”Wilderson said. “The team is unusuallysmall this year but I believe it isstill really strong. Things are just a littledifferent.”Commodore agreed, but noted thatthe underclassmen have begun to fill extraroles that extra seniors would havefilled.“Seniors tend to shape the team’s attitude.We have what whe have, so wecan’t go back and say ‘What if we hadmore seniors?’ So I don’t know if wewould be better off; it’d just be different.But we have some really good juniors onthe team that give positive examples.”A second benefit is that it allowsunderclassmen the opportunity to step upand succeed, which junior Anna Sabatiniin particular has been doing.“Anna ran the 400 meters in thedistance medley relay and a leg of the4x800 relay at KU. She did amazing eventhough she could tell you that she wasnervous about running at KU,” Wildersonsaid.Senior Morgan Commodore agreed.“Anna’s training with the middledistance group, but she used to be asprinter. She’s been an amazing teammate,especially since she was so willingto change groups in the middle of the season,and she’s had a lot of success in the800 and the 4x800,” Commodore said.Along with Sabatini’s welcome contributions,Aquinas will benefit in bothdepth and senior leadership from the recentreturn of Commodore from injury.“I started having back pain a fewweeks after state cross country, had tostop running in December, and startedphysical therapy in January,” Commodoresaid. “I had steroid shots in Februaryin my back and knee to bring downthe inflammation.”Unfortunately, the shots did notmake any improvement, but the doctorscould not pinpoint the issue, so Commodorehad to sit on the sidelines and watchher team, while wondering what reallywas wrong with her body.“I really enjoy watching my teammatesand seeing them succeed, but Iwould much rather be out there runningright next to them,” Commodore said.“Sometimes, I couldn’t help but bea little jealous. I love this sport, and it’sbeen difficult to have to watch. But I didmy best to stay positive when I was hurt,for me and my teammates.”After the failed steroid shots, Commodorewent back to a physical therapistfor a total evaluation. It was finallydiscovered that her right knee sat higherthan her left, and would not straightenout the whole way.“The doctors think that my otherback and knee problems were caused bymy right knee not straightening out allthe way. I had knee surgery on March25 to remove my plica and clean up scartissue,” Commodore said. “After fivemonths off, I just started running a fewweeks ago. The physical therapist says Iam a whole new runner with a new knee.It feels great, with just a little sorenessand swelling, but that’s expected aftersurgery. I’m glad I am running again so Ican go through hell with them.”A change Commodore has to makeis the distance of races that she runs.“I’m going to have to keep thingsshort this season and let go of running themile and two mile. I’m going to focus onthe 800 and 400 meter races.”As the season winds down, the seniors,many of whom have been on varsitymultiple years, are beginning to realizehow narrow their window of opportunityis for winning a state title.“I feel more pressure to do well, butit’s all only pressure I put on myself. Ihave specific goals that I want so badlyand Wrigley has made it clear that theyare very likely to happen, but I only havethis one chance to do this. I am so afraidI’m going to screw it up,” Wildersonsaid. “It’s hard knowing that it will all beover soon. In so many ways I don’t wantit to ever end. dKATIE BOLIN/ The MedallionTOP LEFT: Senior Stevie Geist competes in the 4x800 relay on April 10 at the Blue Valley Relays, a warm-upfor the Kansas Relays.

It’s a hard feat but it’s in ourheads,” Woodward said.The team has benefitted so far froma strong bond between players of allgrades.“We’ve had two overnight tournamentswhere we had sophomores throughseniors. We bonded and had a lot of fun,”Woodward said. “Ourbiggest strength is ourchemistry.

Wewere doing really well,” senior midfielderErin Henderson said. “But as soon asAmanda got hurt it shook everyone upand we weren’t the same team after that.”Nelson’s injury really decimated theSaints’ back line, where Nelson was theunquestioned leader.“It was a pretty big loss. She is a reallybig voice in the back and she bringsenthusiasm. Without her, it shook up ourdefense. She’s one of our best players,”Henderson said. “I don’t know if we’vefound a definite replacement yet.”After the West defeat, the Saintstraveled to Burlington, Iowa to competein the Tournament of Champions.How the team would play without Nelsonwould determine how successful theteam would be.“We had to figure out our defensewithout Amanda, and put away scoringopportunities. Our defense was still sortingthings out,” Henderson said.Nelson’s injury opened the door formultiple players, including two freshmen,Natalie Owens and Hannah Kwapiszeski,to fill her shoes.“Natalie really stepped up in theback and played great for us in Iowa,”Washburn said. “Hannah Kwap came toIowa with us and played multiple positionswell.”The Saints first fixture was againstMARY THESING/ The MedallionAs concerned teammates Kate Beaver and Nikki Fontana watch, senior captain Amanda Nelson lays on the ground in agony after suffering a torn anterior cruciate ligament, torn meniscus and bruised tibia in her right leg.Nelson, who is out for the season, was the Saints defensive leader, and her injury left the Saints’ defense in disarray for a couple of games.York (Ill.). The game was supposed to beplayed on Friday, April 30, but rain postponedthe match until Saturday, May 1.When the Saints finally got a chance toplay, they came out sloppy, conceding agoal off of a rebounded penalty kick inthe opening minutes.“We weren’t ready. We were stillrecovering from losing Amanda. Peopledidn’t really know what was going on,”Henderson said.Aquinas conceded two more goalsbefore the game was 15 minutes old, butthen the girls went to work on climbingout of the 3-0 hole. In the 25th minute,Kwapiszeski sent a corner kick to Washburn,who headed it to the back of thenet. 3-1.Kwapiszeski did it again in the35th minute, this time to junior MollyKhoury, who knocked it with her rightfoot through a Washburn dummy. 3-2.“Honestly, I never really thoughtwe were going to lose. We just believedin ourselves,” Henderson said. “Theyweren’t incredibly good. We were a betterteam.”The Saints continued their scoringbinge in the second half when Washburnsent a diagonal cross from the left thirdof the field to the penalty box in the 48thminute, aiming for Sarah Heilman. TheYork goalie got her hand on it, thwartingHeilman’s effort, but junior Moira Cullingsbeat the entangled York goalie anddefender to the loose ball at the far rightpost. After two dribbles, Cullings sent alow shot across the face of the goal, findingthe left side of the net. 3-3.Finally, in the 58th minute, Cullingsworked magic again, beating a defenderon the left side of the field for possessionof the ball. She tapped the ball to seniorErin Henderson on the near edge of thebox, who knocked it past the keeper,sealing a spectacular 4-3 Saints comebackvictory.“We moved the ball really well inthe second half and took more shots,”Cullings said. “We realized we were thestronger team and we could easily comeback. We just had to keep building up theoffense and preventing defensive breakdowns.”Due to the rainout, the Saints had toplay a second game on Saturday, againstAlthoff Catholic (Ill.). Aquinas netted thefirst goal, but after that it was all Althoff.The Saints knew that the Crusaders likedto use the flip throw-in – Washburn’s signaturemove, so Aquinas focused on limitingthose. Aquinas held Althoff to onlythree of those throw-ins, but two of themresulted in goals.“We have a really good defense butthey caught us off guard. We didn’t realizeher throw-in was going that far,” Hendersonsaid. “It came in and we weren’torganized. We lost the ball and gave up agoal that never should have been scored.I think we were kind of in awe that shehad thrown it that far.”When the final horn sounded,Althoff emerged with a 3-1 victory, improvingto 17-0. The Saints fell to 8-2-1.d*The result from Tuesday night’s game againstBishop Miege was too late to print. Senior night istomorrow against Kapaun-Mt. Carmel
