team being younger, in the

next couple of years the team

should be able to improve

with more experience as var-

sity golf players. We all hope

to see improvement for the

boys as they continue

throughout the season. Their

last golf match is at Christmas

Lake against Heritage Hills,

Evansville Central, and Tell

City at five thirty on May

23rd. Be sure to come and

watch the boys perform at

sectional.

The Forest Park Ranger golf

team at Forest Park started on

their season on April 8, a cou-

ple of weeks ago, at the Barr-

Reeve golf course. Naturally,

they played Barr-Reeve’s golf

team. Sadly, they were de-

feated, but sophomore player

Alex Russell says that this

has not broken their spirits

and that they continue to

practice and get better. The

juniors, Winston Glen, Drew

Weyer, and Justin Sitzman

lead the team due to their

greater experience with the

game. Giving the juniors

backup, the sophomores also

contribute to the overall scor-

ing power of the team. The

sophomores include Alex

Russell, Travis Nord, Addi-

son Weyer, and Matt Miller.

Moreover, there are some

new additions to the team in

the form of the freshman:

Josh Thomas, Carson Haake,

Mathew Nonte, Colton Glen,

Isaac Austin, and Blake Em-

mert. The home course for

the team is the Christmas

Lake Golf Course located in

Santa Clause, Indiana. Their

second match was on April 9.

The match took place at

Christmas Lake and their op-

ponents were Crawford Coun-

ty and Perry Central. The

boys tried their best, but in

the end, they lost the match.

The two matches that fol-

lowed both were cancelled.

One was supposed to take

place against Southridge,

Loogootee, and South Spen-

cer. The second one to be

cancelled was at Pike Central,

but it was rescheduled for

April 23, 2013. On April 16,

the boys played against

Springs Valley and Orleans.

The boys lost again, but they

are keeping their heads up.

They have a goal to score

under 200 points cumulative

as a team. They also have the

goal to win more matches

then they did last year. Even

though the boy’s golf team

has hit a couple of rough

patches at the beginning of

this year, as the season con-

tinues the team will continue

to improve and lessen the

amount of strokes taken by

each player. With most of the

A young man with a huge heart and

a magnificent attitude, Kyle

Luebbehusen, is one of many out-

standing senior athletes here at For-

est Park. Kyle’s classmates and

teammates nickname him Lubbs,

and the nickname has stuck excep-

tionally well since Lance Buechler

gave it to him in fifth grade. As you

can see, the name is bizarrely close

to his last name. Lubbs has been

involved in multiple athletics in the

past years, including soccer, track,

and even a kicker for the football

team. He was a manager for the

track team last year, and he decided

to witness the whole experience this

year by actually competing in races.

He is involved in four different

events: the 100 meter dash, 200

meter dash, 4x1 Relay, and the long

jump. His favorite is the 4x1 be-

cause he loves how it’s a team ef-

fort and they must work in unison

to experience a clean baton transi-

tion.

Luebbehusen, like many seniors, is

sad that the whole high school ex-

perience is almost over, but he also

cannot wait until the next school

year rolls around. Kyle will have to

overcome a huge difference though.

Instead of returning to Forest Park

High School, he will begin a new

life at a much larger school. This

school is unknown at this moment;

however, he has had his eyes on the

University of Southern Indiana

quite a time now. There, he plans

on majoring in athletic training and

participating in intermural soccer

and other clubs. Kyle quotes, “I

have a lot of stacked up stress

right now, but I know it will pay

off sooner or later!” Lubbs gave

me some good advice on the

whole subject: “Keep your head

up. When you feel stressed or

down, just remember it will all

work out in the future!”

Outside of school and sports,

Lubbs enjoys collecting different

things, including stamps, baseball

cards, and the 50 quarters for the

50 United states of America. Kyle

has one brother who is much older

than him and two nieces. Kyle

also has a nice dog named Jose,

who he admires greatly. Other

activities enjoyed by Lubbs in-

clude watching movies and taking

road trips. One thing he really

loves is combining the two and

watching a movie while taking a

long road trip. Kyle will watch a

movie with anybody. All you have

to do is ask him. If you’ve never

spoke with Luebbehusen, I reckon

you do so because he’s a fantastic

young man whose heart contains

an abundance of generosity.

This year the girl’s tennis team

has a new coach, Forest Park ‘s

new eighth grade English teach-

er, Mrs. Opell took over the

position. Mrs. Opell use to play

tennis back at her high school,

Castle. She says, “I’m excited

to coach the girl’s. They are

always energetic coming into

practices, which I hope carries

on into the games and the rest of

the season.” Another thing she

is excited about is the fact that

she gets to work with high

school students. She says, “I’m

ready to get to know some of

the older students here in our

high school by taking the tennis

coach role.” The tennis team

this year has eighteen girls to

compete in the sixteen matches

planned for them, with a few

invites in there, plus sectional.

The girls started off their offi-

cial season on Thursday, April

4th with a win against Washing-

ton Catholic. Amie Weyer, Ra-

chel Hentrup, and Maddison

Beckman all kicked off their

season with a win for the Rang-

er’s No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3

spots. The double teams, Jor-

dan Buechler & Kereston Hoch-

gesang and Kelly Weyer & Ma-

reike Zeilder, defeated their

opponents as well, making the

ladies victory a sweep. The fol-

lowing weekend the girls trav-

eled down to Gibson Southern

for a tournament. The ladies

finished the day off by placing

forth. After a loss in the tourna-

ment, the girls came out fighting

against the Crawford County

Wolfpack the following week.

Jordan Buechler and Kereston Hochgesang

won in doubles with a score of 6-4, 6-0.

The other varsity duo, Kelly Weyer and

Mareike Zeilder, won their match 6-2, 6-1.

For the Lady Rangers singles, No.1, Amie

Weyer went 6-2, 6-1 while Rachel

Hentrup, No.2 singles defeated her match

up with the same score. Final in the match

against Crawford, Maddison Beckman

sailed away with an easy win of 6-1, 6-2.

With the rescheduling of a match, the girls

played on Friday, April 12 against Herit-

age Hills and defeated them with a score of

5-0, while Junior Varsity fell 0-4. The

following Monday the girls went on the

road to Pike Central and came away with

yet another victory!

The girls, as of now, are 4-1 with eleven

more matches to go. “I am proud of the

start of this season so far. All of the girls

are working hard to get the victory for the

whole team.” says Junior Kereston Hoch-

gesang about her team.

The Forest Park Dance

Team finished off their season

on Saturday, March 16, 2013.

They went to state finals at New

Castle, Indiana. New Castle’s

gym is the largest and finest in

the entire world. The girls com-

peted against schools that triple

in the size of Forest Park. For

example, Lake Central whom

has nine hundred in their senior

class alone. For the dance team

here, that is quite impressive

competing against those huge

schools.

In their Pom routine, the

girls finished third place, behind

Crown Point and Munster. The

dance team beat Homestead,

Hanover Central, Bloomington

South High Schools. The girls

scored an 87.45. This is the

first time in school history that

the girls received a medal in the

Pom category. The girls were

extremely excited about placing

third. Normally, the girls re-

ceive fifth or sixth place.

Receiving another third

place in the Hip Hop category,

the girls were happy with what

they placed. The dance team

beat Carroll and Hanover Cen-

tral. They got beat by Lake

Central, who received first,

and also Northrop, who re-

ceived second. Once again,

these teams are fairly big

compared to Forest Park.

Northrop has eight boys that

do tricks and the rest are girls

dancing in the background.

The Forest Park Dance Team

scored an 87.98.

In the Kick routine, the

girls received second place.

The competition they beat was

Vincennes Lincoln, Craw-

fordsville, and Mitchell. For-

est Park got beat by Crown

Point in the high kick routine.

The girls scored an 85.68, and

Crown Point

scored an 87.69,

causing them to

get beat by 2.01

points. The girls

were also happy

with this place, but

wished they would

have defended

their three-time

state champion-

ship.

The Forest Park Dance Team

had a lot of competition when they

went up north to New Castle. Placing

in the top three in all three categories

was a first for the dance team. The

seniors on the team are Megan

Grundheofer, Madison Grundheofer,

Andi Kempf, Nicole Weyer, Sydney

Berg, and Taylor Kluemper. These

girls are the most decorated class that

has come through Forest Park.

Throughout their entire high school

career, they received a total of nine

metals, and four state championships.

This is a huge accomplishment, and it

may never be done again in Forest

Park history.

The featured car for this

month is a 2005 Dodge

Stratus. Owned by Sam Rus-

sell, this beast has a four

cylinder, 2.4 Liter engine.

The car gets an estimated

MPG: City 20/Hwy 27. It

can seat up to five passen-

gers. The car was made right

here in the United States of

America. Another good fea-

ture on the Dodge is the fact

that it has an automatic

transmission. Kelly Blue

book gave the car 7.5 out of

10. “The Dodge Stratus is a

very reliable car. You can

take the car anywhere and

not put a scratch on it. The

Stratus is the very best first

car you could possibly get

for the price,” Sam Russell

stated. I then asked him

what his favorite feature

about the car is and he said,

“I really appreciate the roar

of the engine. When I am at

a stoplight, I try to be the

first off of the line! Normal-

ly, I am not, but it is a

dream of mine to beat a

Mustang in horse power.”

Sam said these key words

when talking about the car:

reliable, good speaker sys-

tem, easy to handle, hugs

the road exceptionally well.

After asking him if there are

any cons on the car, he said

that the lights on the inside

are fairly dim. He does not

think that that is a big deal,

though. The interior is also

made of cheap or weak

plastic and he wouldn’t

mind if it was a little bit

nicer. The front bumper is

another big pet peeve of

his. It always scrapes the

ground and tends to fall off,

causing him to have to put

it back on. The worst he

says has to be the head-

lights. They are extremely

foggy, and not as bright as

he wants them to be. It al-

ways seems to him as if at

least one of the headlights

is out. Overall, Sam would-

n’t want to have a different

car as his first. He wants to

put some rad rims on the

thing and maybe tint the

windows a little bit. The

best thing about the auto-

mobile is all of the precious

memories Sam has made in

and with it. I may be his

brother, and he has to love

me, but in all honesty, I

think he would rather

spend a Saturday night

with the Stratus than hang-

ing out

with me.

I am sure many people have heard of

the movie Finding Nemo. It is about

an adult clownfish named Marlin who

searches the entire ocean to find his

son. Along the way Marlin meets

many new people such as the stoned

sea turtles, Bruce the great white

shark, Anchor the Hammerhead shark,

and Chum the Mako shark. The most

memorable and probably everyone’s

favorite character is Dory the blue

tang fish. Dory has short-term

memory loss, so it created some hilar-

ious and suspenseful moments with

her and the mischievous things that

she did. I asked around the school of

what people thought about Finding

Nemo and, the majority of everyone

said that they enjoyed the movie, and

that it is a family friendly movie for

all ages to see. Not only is the movie

rated G for some intense scenes they

may scare so children. The director

Lee Unkrich and Andrew Stanton

split the duties that the directors have

to handle which is quite a bit actually.

Not only does Andrew Stanton have his

director abilities to do, he also did the

screenplay along with Bob Peterson and

David Reyn-

olds, AND he

was the voice

of Crush, the

big stoned sea

turtle that

helps Marlin and Dory after the

awful jellyfish attack. Therefore,

Andrew Stanton is a big player

when it comes to making a really

good animated movie. Marlin is

played by Albert Brooks, Dory is

played by the fabulous Ellen De-

generes, Nemo is played by Alex-

ander Gould, and Gill is played by

Willem Dafoe. Out of 10 stars,

Finding Nemo got a big 8.6 for the

breathtaking animation, talented

vocal work, and a well written

screenplay added up to a another

Pixar success. The reason I am

doing a movie review on Finding

Nemo is that they just announced

the sequel to this fantastic movie is

coming out November 2015 called

Finding Dory. Finding Dory is

about Dory obviously and she gets

lost and Marlin and Nemo set out

to find her. At least I think that is

what will happen because they

directors have not said what the

plot is going to be yet, all that was said is that

because at the end of Finding Nemo, Dory was

seen with her three new friends which were the

three sharks they met earlier. Maybe that is

foreshadowing or maybe the directors just want

you to think that is what is going to happen, but

only time will tell.

Movie Review

By Sam Russell

During this fine month

of April, Jeff Durlauf happens

to be the teacher spotlight.

After filling out a question-

naire, made for him by yours

truly, here are his answers in

full length. This young man

is . He is married to the love of

his life, Megan. She is preg-

nant with a boy and is due on

May 25th. To list all his favor-

ite categories would take forev-

er so here is the short list

straight off the survey. His

favorite teams include IU col-

lege sports, Royals from the

MLB, Colts from the NFL, and

the soccer team Barcelona.

The restaurant he chose as his

favorite is Yamatos. I would

definitely have to agree with

him on this one. Yamatos is

one of the best sushi places in

this area and probably in all of

southern Indiana. The music

he is most interested in in-

cludes classical rock, country,

and folk. Avett Brothers,

Dawes, Skynard, and the Black

Crowes are the specific bands

Durlauf listed along with these

genres. Some other favorites

he had included CROSS FIT

and the book, Atlas Shrugged.

I’d say his favorite hobby

would be CROSS FIT because

Jeff Durlauf started it up our

small town of Ferdinand. If

you are into cross fit, or com-

monly known as x fit, then you

can thank him. He is one tough

man. He’s of intelligence and

physical strength. He enjoys

movies such as, Gladiator,

Braveheart, 300, and Anchor-

man. There are no actors as

his favorite. He must have a

lot of favorites and couldn’t

decide between them. The

way to a man’s heart is

through his stomach. To

make him happy I’d make

steak or grilled chicken

thighs. These are true Ameri-

can meals. Who wouldn’t

love these refreshments? His

ways of transportation are by

bike, Jeep, truck, or by foot.

These are of the normal. He

says his favorite thing about

his vehicular devices is that

they run. Working out hap-

pens to be Jeff Durlauf’s fa-

vorite pastime. This would

make sense since you can see

him at his training facility. JD

attended the Oakland City

University, after going to

school at Forest Park, the best

school in southern Indiana.

During his child-

hood, Durlauf said

his role model was

Barry Larkin. This

man was a baseball

player for the Cin-

cinnati Reds.

Overall, he is a

good teacher and

person.

The 2013 Ranger Softball

season has officially started. Alt-

hough the season started off chilly,

spring is finally making its way for

this spring sport. Due to bad winter

weather, the first three games of the

girls season got cancelled, including

their preseason scrimmage. The

scrimmage was against Heritage

Hills, like it is every year. The sea-

son games that got cancelled were

Evansville North, Mater Dei, and

Providence. Mater Dei is probably

the only one that may possibly be

tried to make up. Mater Dei is a

major rivalry and especially in sec-

tional. Finally on April 2nd the

girls got to compete. The team they

played was Washington. The girls

came out on top 4-1. Finally start-

ing the season off with a great start,

the girls then had a busy schedule

making time to play some of their

biggest rivals. The next competitor

for the girls was Southridge, which

is one of Forest Park’s biggest ri-

vals. Sadly the girls fell short

against the Raiders losing 7-5 that

Friday night. The girls then played

that next Saturday having a double-

header at Clarksville. The girls lost the

first game by a close score of, 11-10.

The second game the girls lost again by

a larger defeat of, 7-2. Hoping to turn

things around, the girls competed

against South Spencer the following

Monday. Having a rough next couple

of games the girls lost 15-0 against

South Spencer, and 14-2 against North

Posey. Their next competitor was Perry

Central and came out on top with a win

4-1. I asked senior, Kylie Blessinger,

who even though she can’t play due to a

torn ligament in her right foot, still has a

bright outlook on the season. She said,

“We have had a pretty even start and

have been working tremendously hard

on our season. I know we can get this

season together because our girls are

built for it. I will support them and

cheer them on in their upcoming

games.” The Lady Rangers plan on

doing just that. The next competitor for

the girls was South Knox and they came out

with a win 9-8. The girls even played an extra

inning and came out on top. As the girls con-

tinue on with their season, they hope to make

more wins than losses. A big factor in any

sport is the cheering section. So hopefully the

Rangers will make it out to support them on

their home field at Cedar Crest to cheer them

on to victory!

This year’s Forest Park

baseball team has very

high potential to do big

things. Coach Howard has

his team prepared for the

season and they are excit-

ed to get things started.

This year’s pitching staff is

stacked with many young

arms. The leading retun-

ing pitcher is junior Jared

Wilgus, followed by senior,

Adam Braunecker. Senior,

Kyle Schlachter, is project-

ed to have a big year, along

with other starter Trent

Bayer. Reliever, Ben Kit-

ten, returns for another

year and Reece Heilers and

Bryan Hurst will also come

out of the bullpen. Junior,

Alec Hassefurthur, has the

closing duties. Defensive-

ly, the Rangers look like

this: taking over at first

base is Jared Wilgus, Da-

mon Wilmes holds down

the second base position,

Adam Braunecker plays

shortstop, and Bryan

Hurst and Ben Wendholt

play third base. The out-

field has Trent Bayer and

Reece Heilers in right

field, Lance Buechler in

centerfield, and Bryce Bet-

tag and Josh Voegerl in

left field.

Coming into the season, Forest

Park was ranked 10th in the pre-

season polls. Forest Park kicked

off their season on Tuesday,

April 2. The Rangers welcomed

in the Vikings from Barr Reeve.

The game was neck and neck

throughout, and Forest Park

sealed the deal in the ninth in-

ning on a walk off hit by Damon

Wilmes. Adam Braunecker

picked up the win. On Thursday,

April 4 the Rangers welcomed

the Wildcats from Mater Dei

High School in the early season

showdown. After a battle

throughout the whole night, Ma-

ter Dei pulled away towards the

closing innings. The final score

was 8-4. Jared Wilgus picked up

the loss for the Rangers. On Fri-

day, April 5, the Tecumseh

Braves came to Ferdinand. Alt-

hough the game was supposed to

be played at Tecumseh, the game

ended up being played at Ranger

Field. The Rangers got off to a

slow start, but broke the game

wide open with a five run 5th

inning. The final score was 8-

0. The Rangers got multiple

hits from Jared Wilgus, Bryan

Hurst, Adam Braunecker, and

Lance Buechler. Kyle

Schlachter picked up the win.

On Monday, April 8 Forest

Park took their first road trip of

the season. They traveled to

Pike Central. After a slow

start, Forest Park left Pike

County with a 13-1 win. Forest

Park baseball is off to a very

good start this year. Come out

and support the team at Rang-

er Field!

The running Rangers are off to

another season and looking to

be better than ever. So far, the

Rangers have ran against Herit-

age Hills, and both the girls and

the boys came out with a very

hard fought win. The boys came

out with a 95-35 win, and the

girls got a one point advantage

over the boys with a win of 96-

35. Many good things came out

of this meet, with all of the new-

comers in the boys and girls

teams getting valuable points.

Another meet was held at the

rolling hills of Forest Park

where they played host to coun-

ty rival Jasper. The Ranger

boys won the meet handily by a

score of 85-45; while the girls

did not have that good of a turn

out. A new comer for the boys

team includes Aaron Schuler, a

boy that apparently does not

know is own speed. During the

past meet against Jasper, Aaron

ran in the 100-meter dash and

scorching the competition by

getting an 11.002. To say that,

that is not fast is like saying that

a snail can finish a marathon in

less than nine hours. Aaron also

competes in the 200-meter dash,

long jump and the 4x100-meter

relay team. With this being said

the boys track team looks to be

fast and ready for invites, PAC,

and even Sectional.

The girls on the other hand have

been running hard and are ready

to put the past behind them and

ready to rebound this year. So

far, the girls are looking good

on the track rubber with a win

over Heritage Hills. Many

personal records were set

in this meet by the new-

bies. A standout at this

meet was Mackenzie

Weyer who placed first in

her events such as shot

put and the discus. The

girls expect big things out

of the woman this year in

the track season.

The track season is just

getting underway and it

looks to be a great one

with no bittersweet end-

ing in sight. The boys

with rejuvenated spirits

and looking for revenge

in sectionals and the girls

hoping to rebound from

sectional last year. All the

boys and girls have to do

is believe and this year

will be magical from start

to end. With upcoming

meets on the rise both

teams hope to get PR’s

and much more. Great

job so far both teams.

This year’s prom lies on the

date April 20, 2013. Prom is

always held at the Ferdinand

Community Center. Forest

Park’s high school prom is

for juniors and seniors only.

It is a time for the upper-

classmen to have a chance to

wish their high school day’s

goodbye with a simple

dance. For the seniors, prom

is more significant. The rea-

son is because it is their last

year of high school. The

girls get dressed up in all

different types of long, shim-

mery dresses, while the guys

prepare themselves in a ei-

ther a simple tux, or some-

thing to fit their preferences.

This year there is a prom

dress code that each student

has to follow. This is just to

make it easier for the teach-

ers to take steer of this uplift-

ing occasion.

Before prom there is

normally parties held by each

class. It is a time to take pic-

tures while everyone is

dressed up with their friends

and classmates. Although

girls get more into these ac-

tivities the guys enjoy it just

as well. It is a time to bond

well with classmates and get

as many pictures as you can

with your friends. Most of

the time there is food offered

for all the kids that come.

Parents come and take pic-

tures of classes, friends, etc.

Although most of the picture

taking is done there, there is

also an event called “Grand

March” before prom.

Grand March is an

event where anyone in the

community is allowed to

come and take pictures of

the couples or friends walk-

ing down a festive entry

way. This event has a

doorway going onto a path

to walk out and pause to

take pictures. Mostly cou-

ples go together, but

friends also participate in

this. Many parents come

here too to take pictures of

all the students. Everyone

enjoys the decorating

which is done by the mem-

bers of prom board in the

junior class. After every-

one that wants to goes

through the Grand March

has, the parents then make

their way out of the Com-

munity Center. This then

begins the dance for the up-

perclassmen. Food and

drinks will be provided

throughout the dance for all

the students. Some under-

classmen are prom servers.

The prom servers hand out

drinks throughout the dance.

All the upperclassmen are

looking forward to this spe-

cial event which marks spe-

cial territory in the memories

of high school.

The book “A Time

to Dance” is a love story

written by Karen Kings-

bury. Abby and John

Reynolds were a happy

couple, but recently things

have changed between

them. They started focus-

ing on their busy sched-

ules and stopped paying

attention to each other.

John was busy with coach-

ing, teaching, and started

flirting with Charlene

Denton, a student teacher

at the school. Abby fo-

cused on her writing and

emailing her male editor.

Beforehand, they had the

perfect marriage that eve-

rybody was jealous of.

The two decided to get a

divorce because they con-

stantly fought.

They brought all the kids

together to tell them the

news of the divorce, but

Nicole, their daughter, an-

nounced that her boy-

friend and she were get-

ting married. The wedding

planned on being the day

Abby and John got mar-

ried because Nicole and

Matt want a relationship

like them. Since this

happened, Abby and

John decided to wait un-

til after the wedding.

Throughout the wait un-

til the wedding, John

continued to get closer to

Charlene, and farther

away from Abby. Abby

planned to go to New

York City to meet up

with her editor. Abby

also had to deal with her

father who just had a

stroke. He was dying

and he told John to love

Abby and not let her go.

They did not even tell

anyone about the di-

vorce.

Both of them know that

they love each other, and

they do not know what

they would do without

each other. Every time

they get together though,

they fight. At the wed-

ding, they both kept get-

ting reminded of their

wedding and how it re-

lated to theirs. Everyone

was telling them “Happy

Anniversary,” and they

kept getting upset. After

the wedding, John was

planning to move in with a

friend, and Abby would go

to New York.

John was packed up ready

to leave forever, and Abby

just went inside to go to

bed. The divorce was ready

to go, the only thing left is

Abby’s signature. Abby

was upstairs in her room

crying, when she saw a

notebook she had never

seen before. Curiously, she

grabbed it and brought it

back to the bed. She found

out it was John’s journal

and his true feelings about

her. This showed her that

he still cared about her.

After reading it,

she went down to

their lake to think

things through.

pens at the end!

Book Review

April 2013

This year the teams in

the NCAA March Madness

started playing games on March

21st. With many surprising up-

sets, close games, and nasty

injuries, the tournament was an

interesting one to watch, as al-

ways. This year in the first

round had many major upsets,

some being Florida Gulf Coast

University’s team coming out,

being the underdog, fifteenth

ranked team and getting a victo-

ry over second ranked team in

the South region, Georgetown.

Florida Gulf Coast first became

NCAA eligible last year, and

this year being their first, they

made it all the way to the sweet

sixteen, where they ended up

losing to a third ranked team,

Florida. In addition, another

underdog team who made it all

the way to the sweet sixteen and

shocked many people was La

Salle. Another major upset was

Harvard University coming out

and messing up many peoples

brackets by beating a third

ranked team, New Mexico.

Making it all the way

to the final four this year was a

Big Ten team, Michigan, the

fourth ranked team in the South

region. They did not have the

easiest ride to the final four,

but one of the easiest. Defeat-

ing their opponents by at least

fifteen points or more, their

most difficult game was

against Kansas, which went

into overtime. Getting Michi-

gan to the final four however,

was the win over Florida,

which was another twenty-

point win. Michigan rose to

the occasion and got a trip to

the championship game. The

one team who was in the final

four, and finished off every

game with a comfortable re-

sult expect in the final four

game was Syracuse. With

most people not expecting

them to win against top

ranked team, Indiana, they

surprised many people the

come out against every team.

Wichita State the lowest

ranked team in the final four

and known underdog, pulled

away with every win but did-

n’t have an easy ride at all.

Expecting to lose against top

ranked team Gonzaga, Wichi-

ta defeated them by 6 points.

Also Wichita was not ex-

pected to win against second

ranked and winners of the Big

Ten tournament, Ohio State.

Unfortunately, Wichita fell to

Louisville and failed to make it

to the championship game. The

last team making it to the final

four and the championship game

was, predictable by many, Louis-

ville. Louisville gained a big fan

base after an injury happened in

the first half of the Louisville-

Duke game to point guard, Kevin

Ware. Ware went up to try and

block a three point shot, fell

awkwardly, and snapped his

shin, which already had a stress

fractures.

The championship

game against Michigan and Lou-

isville ended up being a late

night, but overall the Louisville

Cardinals defeated the Michigan

Wolverines by a score of 82-76.

March Madness

April 2013

This year’s graduating class

is filled with a number of

highly talented individuals.

There are many Valedictori-

ans and many students that

have very high grade point

averages. The students grad-

uating this year have ex-

celled in academics and ath-

letics in all four years of high

school. Through hard work

and hours of studying and

practicing, the results have

shown. The students are al-

ways focused in the class-

room five days a week and

willing to put in extra time to

make sure they are maximiz-

ing their potential and

knowledge. This year’s sen-

ior class has shown great

leadership on and off the

playing fields. They are

leading the school in the

right direction by making

good and positive decisions.

They are role models for the

younger grades and students

have looked up to them. Af-

ter countless hours of effort

and determination, the senior

class of 2013 has led Forest

Park to being an outstanding

school for the younger stu-

dents, and also the staff.

After high school,

many graduating students

will be going off to college.

They will also excel at their

universities, having taken

full advantage of the extraor-

dinary teachers and staff here

at Forest Park. The colleges

and universities that the

students plan on attending

vary all throughout. From

Evansville University to

Ball State University, stu-

dents from Forest Park will

be going everywhere. A

large number of students

will be attending the Uni-

versity of Southern Indiana,

located in Evansville. Af-

ter USI, Indiana State Uni-

versity also has a number

of students attending their

college. Both schools are

very efficient in their stud-

ies and will have a very

high number of excellent

students attending their

college.

For four years, For-

est Park Jr./Sr. High School

has had the honor of having

these marvelous students

go through their school.

The students have always

kept a positive attitude and

showed great leadership.

This year’s class will be

missed greatly for many years

to come with the number of

highly educated and talented

students. Years later, the sen-

ior class of 2013 will be re-

membered and honored for

their great work. History was

made throughout the four

years that this year’s senior

class was at Forest Park. As

tough as it might be, this

year’s class can still be re-

placed. It will take a lot to

get to their level, but it can be

done. The senior class of

2013 will go down as one of

the best to ever come through

Forest Park, if not

the best.

The Ferdinand Folk

Fest is an earth-friendly and

family-friendly event that is

held outside in the wonderful

season of fall. This fest features

popular musicians, as well as

other interesting acts. Visitors

will experience a vast variety of

music on the stage and the smell

of delicious food in the air. In

booths surrounding the whole

park, local artists display and

sell their work, gardeners and

farmers sell fresh produce, and

different groups and clubs pre-

pare and sell mouth-watering

food. Fun activities for children

will also be available in the

park, so everybody is happy at

the Folk Fest. This fest, in my

opinion, is the most unique

event I have ever attended, and

participants of the previous ones

will agree. I asked multiple

teenagers here at Forest Park

High School what they think of

the Folk fest, and they all re-

plied with positive remarks. All

age groups enjoy this fest, and I

can’t wait to see what new addi-

tions are made to this year’s.

The Folk Fest’s most popular

aspect is the music. People love

to set up an area on the lawn in

front of the stage and bring

coolers, blankets, and lawn

chairs. Last year’s hit performer

was Colin Hay. This year’s line

includes a variety of incredible

musicians including Todd Snid-

er, The Dirty Guv’nahs, the

Boscoe France Band, Lyndsey

Lou and the Flatbellys, the

Carper Family, Opal Fly and

the Swatters, and Bethany

Boeglin. The Dirty Guv’nahs

seem to be a lot of peoples’

favorite band that is going to

be performing this year. The

Guvs have been raising their

fan base steadily throughout

the country.

The 4th annual Ferdinand

Folk Fest is scheduled to be

held on September 21. It’s

located in Ferdinand’s 18th

Street Park, which is a clean

environment that is set in be-

tween beautiful hills and trees.

The park features a state-of-

the-art playground, walking

trails, shelter houses, picnic

tables, a softball field, basket-

ball court, volley-

ball areas, horse-

shoe pits, restrooms, and parking

areas. When you’re not nibbling

on the delicious food or visiting

amazing vendor stands, you can

engage in some of these activi-

ties. For more information on the

2013 Folk Fest, visit their web-

site,

www.ferdinandfolkfestival.com/

or take a gander at their Face-

book page by punching

“Ferdinand Folk Festival” in the

search bar. So, start planning for

this year’s fest because it’s going

to be a magnificent one!

Folk Fest Headliners

April 2013

For ten long years now,

the town of Ferdinand has

been flocked with people

trying to take old things

around the house and put

it in a yard sale. Too

many, this extravaganza is

a good place for people to

sell their unwanted items

that are not used anymore

nor have little use for

them. What other people

do not understand is that

the law is still under way

in the town and many peo-

ple that come to the yard

sales seem to forget what

they have learned when

they took their driving

tests. I myself for the

three years that I had my

license have had to deal

with the town-wide yard

sale and have had numer-

ous narrow escapes with

my 2007 Silverado. Many

people that I talk to have

had the same experiences.

From what I know, the

yard sales have affected

people in different ways.

For me, I do not like it be-

cause I have to take the

long way around to get to

school, or even going to

Jasper. I have partaken in

the yard sales one time in

my life, and it was a horri-

ble mistake. I could not

drive out of the driveway

without people staring at

me looking while I mo-

tioned them to move the

people just looked at me

as if I was crazy. Other

things that have took

place in the yard sales

are constant people look-

ing at everything and not

paying attention when

they walk around so they

pay no attention when

you are driving down the

street, so driving slow

and paying extra close

attention was precau-

tionary to do when this

event takes place every

year. People often say

that they do not like the

town-wide yard sale and

they are right people not

paying attention is a big

thing that has to

be taken place.

One little distrac-

tion can mean you

are hitting another

car or even a

young child that is

not by their moth-

er or father. Alt-

hough most of this

seems bad, some

good comes out of

this also. People

can find many treasures to

call their own after another

owner decides to call it

quits on it. People could

even find a rare item that

the owner had not known

was rare. With this being

said, the town-wide yard

sale can be good and can be

bad I hope the people who

A fart is a combination of

gases (nitrogen, carbon diox-

ide, oxygen, methane, and

hydrogen sulfide) that travels

from a person's stomach to

their anus. When a person

swallows too much air or eats

foods that the human diges-

tive system cannot digest

easily, gas becomes trapped

in his/her stomach. The only

way for this excess gas to exit

the body is through the anus.

The gas that makes your farts

stink is the hydrogen sulfide

gas. This gas contains sulfur

which causes farts to have a

smelly odor. The more sulfur

rich your diet, the more your

farts will stink. Some foods

that cause really smelly farts

include: beans, cabbage,

cheese, soda, and eggs. A

scientific name for a fart is

flatus or flatulence. On the

average, a healthy person

farts 16 times a day. People

fart the most in their sleep.

Many animals fart too, but

elephants fart the most. If

you have not noticed by now,

some of the aforementioned

fumes are flammable, like

methane and oxygen, so you

can, in fact, burn farts. Yes,

you can set them aflame; it is

not a myth, and a great way

to get a girl’s attention too. If

you want that girl to never

speak to you again. How

much odor is produced de-

pends on the food you eat.

Vegetarians might fart as

often as meat-eaters, but

their "serenades" do not

smell as much because veg-

etables produce less hydro-

gen sulfide. The more sul-

fur rich the foods you eat,

the more your farts will

stink because bacteria will

generate sulfides as they

break down the nutrients.

Of the three main nutri-

ents, carbohydrates pro-

duce the most gas because

sugar and starch easily fer-

ment. As you might have

guessed, beans contain

more indigestible carbohy-

drates than most foods.

Many daily foods are con-

sidered "indigestible", milk

being one of them. Cow

milk is unnatural to the

human body, which is why

a lot of people are lactose

intolerant. Lactose intoler-

ance means the body does

not know how to digest

milk, so it sets it aside as

waste. Chewing your food

properly helps prevent gas

because you

alleviate your

tract's work-

load, while

chewing gum

gives people flatulence be-

cause it makes them swallow

more air than usual and be-

cause it animates the diges-

tive system. Sometimes you

burp, but other times air goes

too deep into the digestive

tract, leaving only one alter-

native: farting. Although fart-

ing is completely gross, it is a

natural reaction of the human

body, and cannot be avoided.

Why Farts Smell

By Brittney Buechler

April 2013

A woman in Ohio is

suing an abortion clinic for

failing to abort her baby. Her

baby was delivered fully

healthy and normal. This

case is causing uproar be-

cause people can’t believe

she is suing the doctor for

wrongful birth. Fox news

states, “A wrongful birth suit

occurs when a doctor, with-

out causing any health risks

to a fetus, is charged with

negligence after a full deliv-

ery of the living child. In

this particular case, the pa-

tient alleges that the doctors

failed to abort her fetus dur-

ing her initial abortion. The

woman was told her preg-

nancy could put her life at

risk, because she had been

diagnosed with uterine didel-

phys – a condition which

results in a double uterus

with individual cervices.”

The woman who is suing

says that she had to make a

painful decision to terminate

the pregnancy after finding

out that her life may be at

risk. She decided to press

charges after she had a fully

healthy baby. To me, this

seems like just another per-

son trying to work the system

to get another easy buck. “I

believe my client absolutely

met the standard of care and

that this case has no basis to

be in litigation,” attorney D.

Cheryl Atwell, who repre-

sents the medical group and

the doctors, said Monday.

Fox news reported that “the

malpractice lawsuit was

filed March 4 on behalf of

22-year-old Ariel Knights.

Her attorney, James Gut-

brod, said Monday the

medical group’s legal re-

sponse was general and he

had no comment on it.

Knights has said she sought

the abortion because she

has a medical condition

called uterine didelphys,

resulting in a double uterus

with individual cervices,

and a doctor had told her

that her pregnancy and her

life could be threatened

because the fetus was car-

ried in an unstable uter-

us.Knights tells the Akron

Beacon Journal she ago-

nized over the decision to

terminate the pregnancy,

but felt she had no choice

because of her preschool-

aged son. “It was a decision

I made because my life was

in danger,” she told the

paper in an interview

March 15. “I was put in

jeopardy. And I have a son

that I am supposed to be

taking care of.” She learned

about a week after the

abortion procedure that she

still was pregnant, accord-

ing to the lawsuit alleging the

defendants “were negligent

and deviated from the appro-

priate standard of care.” The

lawsuit also indicates Knights

was referred to a second abor-

tion clinic after she found out

she still was pregnant, but that

clinic was unwilling to be-

come involved in “somebody

else’s mistake,” and she re-

fused to return to the original

clinic for a second abortion

attempt. Knights made a sec-

ond appointment with the

medical group but did not

show up for it, according to

the defendants’ filing. It

doesn’t specify the date of the

second appointment. Knights

says she spent the rest of her

pregnancy in a state of con-

stant fear. “I can’t explain

how I felt," she told the Ak-

ron Beacon Journal. "It was

just a sense of being over-

whelmed, wondering what

happened to the baby, won-

dering what’s happening to

me and what did (the clinic)

think they did."Knights says

she considers her daughter her

"miracle" baby, saying she

does not like to think about

what would have happened

had the abortion been suc-

cessful.”

Miracle Baby

Why does America

make worthless piece of crap

people famous? That is what I

would like to know. There are

soldiers dying every day

fighting for our country, and

you do not see people tweeting

our setting their statuses for

some drunken Buckwild person

instead of a soldier who died. It

makes no sense to me what goes

through the minds of Ameri-

cans, but it is never right. For

example this Shain guy that was

on this reality TV show called

Buckwild, dies because he was

drinking and went off-roading

and got his bronco submerged

in deep mud. He later died of

carbon monoxide poisoning. It

makes no sense to me at all how

Americans think that this guy

that is on a reality TV show is

more important than soldiers.

Soldiers defend our countries,

every individual in the entire

United States, but he gets no

recognition for that. Shain on

the other hand, is on TV getting

drunk and driving four wheelers

and big trucks, dies and people

cry over him and make him the

number one thing in the news

and it is just sick America. An-

other group of people that

should not be “celebrities” is the

Jersey Shore cast. Even though

it was only three years thankful-

ly, they still did not deserve

those three years that all they

did was smoke, drink, party,

and cause drama. Again one

of the most pointless shows

on television, but somehow

people seemed drawn to

watch it. If viewers do not get

to watch their weekly episode,

they get very upset. Just like

drugs and alcohol, people get

addicted to things like this.

There are so many pointless

shows out there like for exam-

ple Keeping up with the Kar-

dashians, Celebrity House-

wives of any city in the U.S.,

Teen Mom, 16 and Pregnant,

Toddlers in Tiaras, and most

importantly Here Comes Hon-

ey Boo Boo. She by far is the

absolute worst person in the

entire world. She is just com-

pletely pointless and gross; I

could do so many more things

with a TV show than what she

does with it. My good friend

Adam Levine said, “Honey Boo

Boo is the decay of Western civi-

lization,” and refers to the show

as “The. Worst. Thing. That has.

Ever. Happened.” In other

words, us Americans need to

take the time and get our priori-

ties straight, and know the differ-

ence between a real celebrity and

a stupid “douchy” one.

Worthless Celebrities

A long history of excellence

preceded the release of Call

of Duty Black Ops II: Black

ops with its excellent zombie

action, Modern Warfare 2

and 3 with the spec ops plat-

form, and Call of Duty 2, 3,

and World at War with excel-

lent representation of the

World Wars. Therefore, you

should understand that I,

being a prior owner of all

said games, was beyond ex-

cited for the release of Black

Ops II. I even had it preor-

dered six to seven months in

advance. On the release day

I went directly after school to

pick up the game. Upon en-

tering my house, I was the

happiest guy alive. After

playing the game I was let

down a little because of some

disliked additions. My favor-

ite part of Black Ops was the

epic Zombie play that pro-

moted a four player team-

work system of carnage. The

zombie play on the new Black

Ops II game has increased

the number of zombie maps

available to play including a

level that connects the total

of the maps in a campaign

style setup; however, all of

the maps include a source of

fire such as lava that turns

the zombies into zombies

that explode upon dying.

This addition made me mad

because in the first levels of

zombie survival, the undead

are taken down by a single

melee attack and with the

added explosions set off by

the flaming zombies it

makes the killing by knife

all the more dangerous.

The campaign, focused on a

new terrorist threat in the

year 2025, had a good

storyline but was short and

easily beaten by a skilled

gamer. The game revolved

around the son of the first

Black Ops character and

the main character of the

first Black Ops facing off

against the terrorist threat

that resulted because of a

mistake made by the best

friend of the main charac-

ter’s dad in a military sei-

zure of the future terrorist.

While the campaign is

thought of as the “main

part” of the game, what

people really buy the Call of

Duty line of game for is the

online multiplayer gaming

experience. This allows

you to play various people

from around the world and

prove your standing in the

world ranks. Online you

rank up by playing different

types of games such as

death match, team death

match, capture the flag, etc.

Killing other players and

keeping your kill to death ra-

tio at an increasing rate will

improve your standing in the

ranks and give you the brag-

ging rights. Competitive gam-

ing is one way to describe

playing online, but to accu-

rately define the scene would

to be a howling monkey hold-

ing a controller in its hand

who periodically yells in the

direction of the screen in an-

ger of death or the excitement

of a kill. It becomes so com-

petitive and addictive that the

game causes strain on the

lives some people. Due to the

online gaming I have lost

countless hours of sleep at

night, because of my need to

increase my global standing in

the stat board.

Each year at Forest Park, around

the end of April, the Renais-

sance club hosts a male only

pageant. In this pageant, all par-

ticipating males have to perform

a talent and are supposed to

have a theme. A theme, mean-

ing that they will wear a certain

outfit in hopes that the audience

will love what they chose. This

will be the third annual year in

which this contest takes place.

The following are the participat-

ing in this year's Mr. FP pag-

eant: freshmen, Michael Wil-

mes, Carson Haake, Joshua

Thomas; sophomores Joe Me-

saris, Miles Recker, Kristion

Luttrell, Alex Russell, Noah

Saylor, Dallas Jenkins; seniors

Ben Kitten, Aaron Schuler, and

Kyle Lubbehusen. This year,

there will be a host! T.J. Bieker

will be that because he won the

contest last year. Having the

title, Big Red thinks it will be a

new twist for the better. There

will be a total of 6 judges at the

event, all who have volunteered

their time. During the event, a

tech nerd will video the whole

thing, so if you have a parent or

grandparent that cannot make

the event, you will be able to

purchase a copy of the video.

The video will be able to sell

about two days after the contest.

It will sell for one dollar. If

someone were to be interested

in getting a short sleeve pink t-

shirt with black letters, I am

sure that if you would let Mrs.

Hawkins know, she could

order one for a small price. At

the end of the estimated two

hour pageant, four winners

will be announced. The per-

son who was the best overall,

will be labeled Mr. FP. The

next best will be labeled first

runner up. After that, there are

two more sashes that will be

handed out: Mr. Photogenic,

and Mr. Congeniality. Mr.

Photogenic is the most eye

appealing male working their

stuff in the contest, while Mr.

Congeniality is voted by all of

the contestants as having the

best personality. The last two

years, no senior has won the

contest. This year, Big Red

thinks that this will be the

first. Even though he is not

participating in the event, he

already thinks he has an idea

of who will win it. He said he

would not tell, for fear that he

may jinx the contestant. His only

other comment to the question

was, “Let us find out.”

Mr. FP

Word has been thundering

around the nation that

North Korea plans on

bombing the U.S. It is pret-

ty scary if you think about

it. War has come to our

homeland rather than across

seas where the first world

wars occured. I don’t think

that North Korea will be

crazy enough to bomb us.

Yet again their neighbors

were crazy enough to attack

us. Maybe the end of this

world is coming and it’s

going to be a blood bath

against nations. One nuke

could turn into one big

nuke war. If this happens

the earth’s environment and

atmosphere will be de-

stroyed from the aftermath

and the pollution we al-

ready have. Human nature

will eventually kill its own

planet. I can’t see how the

North Koreans haven’t

been smacked down since

they declared they were

going to bomb us and did-

n’t. Many Americans were

scared on the school night

because our lives were go-

ing to flash before our eyes.

Somehow they were appar-

ently being defensive.

North Koreans say they just

want to end the duel between

them and the American

“imperialists.” With all their

nuclear testing, we should

be displeased and scared of

them. They agreed to stop

with all nuclear tests in

return for resources. This

nation needs to act up and

so does the UN. Together

we can help bring peace

between everyone to make

this world a better place.

North Korea would bomb

their own people if they

would bomb us. There has

to be a number of North

Koreans here because of

the mass diversity here in

the United States of Amer-

ica. If no one decides to

step up and take care of

these kinds of threats bad

things will eventually hap-

pen. North Korea is taking

things too far this time .

North Korea has officially

set up five missiles in fir-

ing position. Although we

are not sure if they are

planning to test or fire, the

United States is

prepared to shoot

down any missile

that fires our way.

Many believe they

are setting these up

to prove they can

hit U.S. bases in Guam. The

United States has also set up

anti-missile defenses in

Alaska and Guam in hopes

of protecting the country.
