Gas Well
Blowout
Leaks Fluid
By Cassandra Sechrist
There was a gas well blowout in
Bradford County on April 19 at 11:45 p.m.
This blowout caused known hazardous
chemicals to be leaked into a creek that
connects to the Towanda Creek which
connects to the Susquehanna River.
They are continually checking the
water for hazardous chemicals, but so far
they have
only found a
small amount
of salt brine.
To give
you an idea,
there is a well
in Bradford
County called
Henry 2H where they used 8,297,016
gallons of fracking fluid. This fluid contains chemicals such as Hydrogen Chloride (hydrochloric acid), Formamide,
Methanol, Propargyl Alcohol (2Propynol), Pine Oil, Glutaraldehyde,
Didecyl Dimethyl Ammonium Chloride,
Ethanol, and many others.
During the fracking process of inserting the fluid, the well blew. This
caused thousands of gallons of that fluid
to flow out of the well, and across a field
into a stream.
The Chesapeake Energy Company is
under questioning because they did not
get the well closed up until April 21. It is
unknown whether the leakage into the
stream could have been prevented, but
further investigation is still going on.
Also, neighbors of this well were not
told to evacuate until around 6:30 a.m.
They were told that it was only precautionary, so many people did not leave
their homes. There was no harm to people or the atmosphere that is known as of
now. They are more worried about the
environmental harm than the harm to
the people.
Chesapeake Energy is planning on
getting back to work, but improving the
mistakes that they made. They hope to
get the information on what the faults
were so that they can take more precautions against this incident. For the time
being, the company has halted its operations in Pennsylvania.

Jobs, Vacations Planned for Summertime
By Kierstin Bathurst and
Krista Weymouth
We are all readying ourselves for a
hot, fun-filled summer for 2011. For some
of us, this will be our last summer before
the real world, but for others, it’s just another three months until school begins
again. Many students have a variety of
plans yet a lot seem to all have a similar
idea for summer fun.
Jordan Tawney (9) said his summer will consist of “just
swimming and playing baseball all summer long.”
Not only are students athletic during the school season,
but many also participate in camps and traveling sports teams
over the summer.
Tyler Cordener (10) said he plans on “finding a job but
plan on working at the farm and going to Knoebel’s for this summer.” A favorite attraction happens to be Knoebel’s because it is
free to get in and full of nonstop amusement.
Not only are the students in for an interesting summer
but Mrs. Lou Anne Gasperine, our science teacher, has a jampacked schedule for this summer.
“I will be attending a three-day
work shop in Maryland. Definitely plan on
doing some gardening and catching up on
some good books,” said Mrs. Gasperine. In
addition, she is going to her first family
reunion in 30 years in Rock Hill, North
Carolina. Even more on her agenda, she is
doing two online summer classes.
Megan Hufnagle (11) has travel in
her future as well. She said she will be
“vacationing to the Thousand Islands with
my family and babysitting for money is about all I plan on doing
this summer.
“I will be hanging out with friends, going on adventures;
heading to the beach will take up a lot of my time this summer.
Working on the farm and hanging out with Kierstin Bathurst will
take up majority of my time though for the summer,” said Jordan
Peasley (11).
Several seniors like Karina Brass, Kelsey Umstead, Kyle
Gibson, and Cody Brewer said they will be joining the work force
this summer.
“Working and getting ready for my sister to have her
baby is how I will spend my summer,” said Kelsey.

Finals Schedule Posted; Open Campus Returns
By Sam Boerner
With the end of the year comes
warm weather, a sense of relief, and final
exams. This year the finals schedule is a
little different.
Freshmen, sophomores, and juniors
will begin taking finals on Thursday, June
2. On Thursday these students will start off
by taking their third, second, and fifth period finals throughout the course of the
day. The schedule for finals runs until June
6 and allots Tuesday June 7, for make-up
exams.
Unlike the rest of the high school, the
seniors will be taking their finals in class
rather than during finals week. This is due to the fact that graduation is scheduled for
Saturday, June 4. Originally – before our
several snow days – the last day of school
was to be May 31. However, all those snow
days added onto the end of the year extended the school year past graduation day.
Seniors need to complete their finals before
graduation, so they will be taking their final
exams the last full week of May.
During the schoolwide finals, the
school will run on an open campus format,
meaning you are free to come and go when
you are not taking a final. Don’t stray too
far during this free time; you wouldn’t want
to be late for a test that counts for 20 percent of your grade.

The Royal Wedding Dress
By Chelsea Hartzel
“I now pronounce you Dutch and Duchess.” On
April 29, Prince William and Catherine Middleton exchanged vows at Westminster Abbey in front of 1,900
guests and millions more around the world who
watched it on TV.
Months of speculation led up to this point: What
would Kate wear? As she stepped out of the car for the
first time outside the church, the crowd roared. The
$420,000 Alexander McQueen dress made the princess bride look stunning. The dress, resembling the
one Grace Kelly wore at her royal wedding, was an
incredible ivory colored, high waist, full skirted gown
with a dramatically long train. The intricate lace bodice
and sleeves were worn over the dress.
The lace on the bride's dress details a rose, thistle,
daffodil and shamrock, and was hand-made by the
Royal School of Needlework at Hampton Court Palace,
along with the sheerest of veils and a diamond tiara.
The 1936 diamond Halo tiara by Cartier was her
“something borrowed,” on loan from the Queen. She also wore diamond earrings, a gift from her parents.
The skirt was meant to echo an opening flower, and the bodice to draw on the Victorian tradition of corsetry. The train was just
short of nine feet long. French Chantilly lace was combined with English Cluny lace to be hand-worked in the Carrickmacross needlework tradition which originated in Ireland in the 1820s. The workers washed their hands every 30 minutes to keep the lace and
threads pristine, and the needles were renewed every three hours to keep them sharp and clean. That’s a lot of work for one dress, especially since it will only be worn once.
Middleton’s dress is likely to be a force of pop culture for years to come, influencing fashion trends and reinforcing the sociological significance of the white wedding gown. Future brides will be looking at Catherine’s dress for years, being princesses in their own
right, on their wedding day.
Students Give Wedding Mixed Reviews
By Megan Tomb and Taylor Hawkins
ndoubtedly the most famous wedding of the year, the Royal Wedding
was definitely a success. Prince William and Catherine Middleton were
wed on Friday, April 29, at Westminister
Abbey.
Now known as Duke and Duchess of
Cambridge, the final procedure done to
conclude their wedding was the worldfamous kiss Prince William gave Princess
Kate after the ceremony while on a balcony
at Buckingham Palace in front of cheering
crowds.
"It was a peck," stated Ashley Hawkins
(11) of this matter. Although, there was
a follow-up smooch, it wasn't the sealed
kiss that marked the marriage.
Every last detail from the Alexander
McQueen dress to the royal musicians to
the 20-foot tall trees lining the aisle was
precise on this special day.
The wedding party consisted of Prince
Harry being the best man and Pippa Middleton being the maid of honor. The brides-
U
maids were Lady Louise Windsor, Margarita Armstrong, Eliza Lopes, and Grace van
Cutsem, all family members of the Duke
and Duchess. The groomsmen included
William Lowther-Pinkerton and Tom Pettifer.
Colleen Masteller (11) said her favorite
part was “the balcony kiss (because) it was
very romantic and sweet.”
Alysha Tomb (9) said her favorite part
was simply “Prince Harry.”
Others, including Austin Wilson (11),
were uninterested and didn’t bother to
watch it.
So, whether you are a die-hard royal
wedding fan or the whole thing is just a
royal pain in your butt, this event will
surely go down in history.

Will Gas Prices Change Your Driving Habits?
said.
By Emily Thomas
Gas prices are on the rise currently
marked at $3.95 a gallon. By the end of the
summer gas could rise as high as $5.00 a
gallon, give or take.
Most high school teenagers don’t have
enough money to afford these sky-high gas
prices, but still want to drive and do things
over the weekends and over summer break.
Many upper classmen drive to school and
drive to work, but will they continue to
drive with the prices rising?
Many will still drive because they still

maybe you want to go out to dinner and
grab a bite to eat, but many have decided
that they will drive less than they do now. If
you have a gas guzzling car, one trip up and
back from Lock Haven will drain your gas
tank. A ten-hour day with the $7.25 minimum waged paycheck equals out to $72.50
a day, but take away taxes you are down to
at least $65.25, which is the price to fill a
tank of gas.
But why are the gas prices so high and
still rising? Violence in the Middle East has
some people worried that this could affect
the availability of oil. This concern has
helped drive up the price of fuel. Also, the
US has competition from other countries to
purchase the oil.

prints and stripes, are hot. Floral prints are
here to stay; it is after all summer. An odd
new print will be fruits; I’m talking oranges,
bananas, and apples.
Old-time Hollywood, equals new-time style.
Black better move out of the way because white is making
its way back, even after Labor Day. Lacey, blowy, gowns are going
to be a glamorous look this summer for any occasion. Belts won’t
lose their popularity either this trend is here to stay for awhile.
Clean denim look
Clean cut, sleek looking denim is going to become another new craze this summer.

Five Things You
Didn’t Know About
Mr. Hensler
By Mariah DeParasis
Mr. Hensler dislikes cats, Lady Gaga, and
the hand lotion sellers at the mall.
He can sing Chop Suey by System of a
Down on Rock Band and get a 90%.
Big fan of cheesy action movies, and
loves watching the show “Cupcake Wars” on
the Food Network.
Small children make him nervous.
Almost everyone in his family has become a teacher.
It’s a fact. We all experienced the
day, the first day of high school, the start
of four years that (believe it or not) fly by
and will be remembered for the good
times and the bad. The hype to be in high
school, if you want to admit it or not, was
very much there. Looking your best, mature, and acting calm is what people were
striving for. You did not want it to look
like you were too young, small, or immature to be a high school kid; a freshman.
Movies always show freshmen getting picked on, shoved into lockers, and
hit on by seniors. In real life - well in our
school - freshmen do not get picked on
like in the movies, where it is so extreme.
As for freshmen getting shoved into lockers, well with our lockers that is basically
impossible. For the seniors hitting on
freshmen, that is always a factor to coming into high school though movies make
it much more drastic and dramatic.
While some of our ninth graders did
not have the best year, most of them
thought it went great! Coming into high
school, one does face problems of growing up too fast.
Holly Enders (9) said, “I wasn't really
scared to come up to the high school but I
was more scared that life was going by so
fast. It feels just like yesterday that I was
just starting in middle school.”
Another problem that was thrown in
the face of upcoming freshmen was feeling small to upper classman. While there
are small upper classman and tall under-
classman, some felt smaller than others.
Brendan Shipton (9) said that he just
feels small around anyone!
Also, coming into high school brings
responsibilities that were not present in
middle school though most students take
the challenge. The challenge is not as
hard as some may think as long as procrastination is not excessively present.
The speed of the year, and the four
years spent here flies by and creates unforgettable good and bad memories that
will be cherished forever. Just remember
to keep your head on straight and have
fun!

‘Teen Mom’ A Hit with JSHS
By Emily Thomas
They’ve had a fair share of ups and
downs but the hit TV series “Teen Mom” is
one of the most watched television shows.
But why is it so popular? Teen Mom follows
the lives of four teenage mothers battling
relationship, family, and financial problems. It shows how hard being a high
school mother can be but it’s all worth it in
the long run.
“Teen Mom” is one of the most
watched shows on MTV. It premiered December 8, 2009, and the first season had
around 2.1 million views, but when the
finale of the second season rolled around
the show had around 5.6 million viewers. A
third season is planned to be aired sometime in June of 2011 with new girls, new
babies, and new struggles.
Many viewers have become addicted to
the show.
“I'm in love with it. I definitely think it
sends a good message out,” said Rachael
Fravel (10). And she’s not the only one that
has fallen in love with the show; Jessie
Bower (12) agrees.
“The show makes you think of the
other young girls in this world going
through the same things,” she said.
Each week is like an antagonizing
seven days waiting until the new episode
airs. The series shows how hard a teenager
has to work to keep a job, have enough
money, keep a relationship, and raise a
baby. Through the struggles and the rough
times, the girls send out a good message
helping other teenager girls realize how
hard raising a kid really is.
Even though “Teen Mom” is one of the
top shows on television, there are plenty of
people who don’t like the show for various
reasons. Some think it sends out a bad
message while others just don’t like all of
the drama. Desiree Worth (11) is a prime
example.
“I believe it’s a stereotypical type of
show with too much drama,” she said,
which is true because the show revolves the
tough times the girls must face. Viewers
watch all the tears shed throughout the
show, and by now you’d think they would
know to buy waterproof mascara. But with
all the tears that have fallen over the years,
it just brought new drama to the show that
makes it more interesting.
“Teen Mom” plans on filming for many
more seasons. Whether “Teen Mom” will
continue to draw millions of viewers, it will
send out a message to all ages. It doesn’t
matter if you agree with the show or not, it
shows you how hard it is raising a baby as a
teenager.

Robert Pattinson Stars in Something
Other Than Twilight
By Emily Thomas
Everyone has been talking about the
new movie “Water for Elephants” starring
the handsome Rob Pattinson. But I honestly don’t see what everyone was obsessing
over. I thought the movie was way too violent; the last hour was the only thing I enjoyed. I didn’t think the movie was as good
as everyone made it out to be. “Water for
Elephants” has quite the cast list. It features two major stars in it, Rob Pattinson
and Reese Witherspoon. They took over the
screen with two main roles, and their acting
was incredible. The movie was very suspenseful and at times it was a jaw dropper
and a tear jerker.
The movie started out with an old man
left in the parking lot at a circus. He tells
his life story to a worker of when he was in
the circus, and that is where the movie begins. Jacob (Rob Pattinson) was a college
boy, who was leaving his home town after
his parents died and left him nothing.
Jacob dropped out of college and never
finished studying for his veterinary degree.
On the road, Jacob hopped a train that
passed by and luckily it was a circus train.
Jacob got a job with
the circus as their vet and
fell in love with the circus
owner’s wife, Marlena
(Reese Witherspoon).
Jacob also has the task to
train the elephant, and
when he refuses to jab the
elephant with a long hook,
the owner, August, takes
matters in his own hands.
When he loses his temper
he goes crazy and continuously hurts everything he
can, including Jacob,
Marlena and the elephant,
Rosie. The rest is up to
you to see.

Elton John Dazzles Mohegan Sun Arena
By Abbey Haldeman
I know he’s old and most people really don’t know any song by him other than
Rocket Man, but Elton John is probably one of my favorite artists of all time. I couldn’t
believe it when I found out his current tour would bring this legendary performer to
Pennsylvania and I knew I would be there.
As the crowd awaited the main act anxiously at the Mohegan Sun Arena, the drums
began making everyone aware that he had taken his place at the piano on stage. When
he began to play, the entire audience went insane and I don’t really think the cheering
ever stopped after that. With his blue sparkly jacket, he lit up the stage with more than
just his appearance.
For two hours he played songs that everyone in the crowd could sing along with,
and I’m pretty sure they all did. He gave the audience a taste of what his new album
would sound like by playing three songs off of it. And even though I’m confident no one
actually knew the words to them, they tried to sing along anyway.
From Philadelphia Freedom to Goodbye Yellow Brick Road and of course, Rocket
Man, the 64-year-old had held onto the attention of his viewers with his amazing piano
skills and awesome vocals.
I know this probably sounds ridiculous and you’re thinking, “This girl is insane!” but
honestly, if you ever get a chance to see Elton John in concert, take the opportunity. It
was the best concert I have ever been to and from now on I’ll be looking forward to Elton
style performances at every one that I attend.

four focus mainly on coaching the singers
more than judging them.
Instead of doing this one at a time, the
coaches choose eight singers and then the
celebrity coach will be their personal
trainer to help them be a more successful
vocalist. To pick their group, they do blind
auditions which I think is better because
they won’t pick their group based on looks.
However, I don’t like the fact that if two or
more of the coaches like them, the singer
gets to pick their coach, but I do think they
picked great coaches for this because they
are all relevant in the music industry and
have different styles of music, and I hope to
see them all progress in the singing

Crocodile Rock Showcases Obscure Talent
By Mariah DeParasis
Even in the far off land of the nose
bleed section, people are a new kind of enthused I’ve never seen before. I automatically feel a bond between these sections of
strangers. We all share one thing in common: the love of these pop-punks, uncommercial bands.
Recently, I joined hordes of these people at Crocodile Rock in Allentown to hear
some of the best music you’ll never hear on
the radio.
Kicking off the concert was a band that
I have never heard of, Hey Monday. Hey
Monday, to my surprise, is very different
from All Time Low and Yellow Card’s
jumpy, upbeat, screaming music. Although
it was a very different tune, it fit very well
with the punk scene. Hey Monday’s
stronger, full female vocal and softer
sounding music made a great start to a
soon-to-be-even-greater show.
They took their bows and exited the
stage to make room for Yellow Card. Eve-
ryone was cheerfully singing along to their
opening song. Most of their music was very
mellow and they performed very maturely.
All Time Low and Yellow Card did a little
collaboration with Yellow Card’s song
Hang Me Up, where ATL’s bass player
joined the band.
Another surprise was a violin on the
stage. Dabbling in a little violin myself I
understand where there is a rarity in the
usage of this beautiful instrument. To see it
on stage was shocking but it fit so beautifully with their song For You, and Your
Denial.
Ten songs later and a new liking for
these bands that I never really noticed, I
was just ready for All Time Low. The bands
break and there was a short waiting period,
which to me, felt like hours.
The first few chords of their newly released song “Time Bomb” started to play
and the crowd was on their feet screaming.
All Time Low ran out, with their lead singer
Alex Gaskarth leading the way. They got
into their first song with permeating en-
ergy. The crowd was eating it up, and
throwing it right back at them was the bass
player Zachary Merrick, jumping, running,
and doing backwards flips.
After their first two songs they took
some time to make the crowd smile with
some charmingly crude jokes and picking
on each other. Right in the middle of the
show they revealed their new song Under a
Paper Moon, which lowered the crazy bass
and screaming vocals to something way
softer. The wild crowd calmed and I swear
no one spoke a word; we were all mesmerized by this more mature side of ATL.
Following, was the same old punk
band we came to know and love. Dear
Maria, Count Me In began to play and was
a cue that the end was near. Shuffling
through the crowd to the exit, tired, throat
sore, and staggering to the car, I still didn’t
want it to end. It was nice to be able to enjoy good music, not just some noise on the
radio.

Our Top Fives: Ten Movies You Absolutely,
Positively Must See Before You Die
By Evan Sander
By Eric Budd
1. Star Wars (Original Trilogy)
1. The Shawshank Redemption
However many people may or may not know, the original
Star Wars trilogy is, by far, my favorite series of movies. A New
Hope was released in 1977, and, despite pre-release speculation
by movie-goers, it took the world by storm. The Empire Strikes
Back and Return of the Jedi were released shortly after in the
80’s by popular demand. George Lucas wrote a stellar screenplay, and was a superb follow-up to American Graffiti. The
movie, for those of you who don’t know, is a classic tale of good
versus evil taken to space, as a small rebellion attempts to overthrow the galactic-wide evil Empire. The plot takes twists that
even M. Knight Shyamalan couldn’t top. The fictional aspects
leave much room for the imagination. The special effects were
state-of-the-art for the time, and even surpass many future movies’ special effects productivity. Star Wars is basically nonstop
action from start to finish. The Star Wars is still a cultural icon
and pop culture phenomenon, resulting in a public demand for
another trilogy beginning in 1998. While the new trilogy may
have more technical special effects, the action is not enough to
top the dialogue and storyline of the originals. If you haven’t
checked out the series yet, you must be living in a cave.
The Shawshank Redemption should be required viewing.
Have you heard of Morgan Freeman? Of course you have. Well,
this movie is the reason why he is famous. He and Tim Robbins
star as Ellis Boyd “Red” Redding and Andy Dufresne respectively,
two prisoners at Shawshank State Prison in Maine.
Morgan Freeman’s role as a narrator to the film is iconic and
immediately became a part of movie history. He was nominated
for an Academy Award and would have easily won it too were it
not for Tom Hanks’s spectacular performance in Forrest Gump.
But the rest of the cast are no slouches either; Tim Robbins
in particular dominates the movie as Andy Dufresne, a banker
who is sent to prison for the murder of his wife. While at Shawshank, Dufresne proves to be uncommonly intelligent and perceptive and eventually becomes the ringleader of a ragtag group
of felons. Then the actual story begins.
2. Reservoir Dogs
Ah, what can be said about Quentin Tarantino that hasn’t
been said already? Reservoir Dogs, released in 1992, is a movie
about a jewel heist gone wrong. The plot revolves around the
remaining members trying to discover who the snitch is. The film
is classic Tarantino, including small chunks of action throughout
with a small number of scenes. Most of the movie takes place in
the criminal’s warehouse hideout trying to piece together how
the robbery went wrong. The film features Tim Roth, Harvey
Keitel, and Steve Buscemi, along with Quentin himself playing a
minor role in the movie, another classic Tarantino move. The
movie gets violent and almost aggressive at some points, and
accentuates the play on dialogue very fluently. I feel that the
movie doesn’t get the recognition it deserves because Tarantino’s
perhaps biggest hit, Pulp Fiction, was released two years later.
Overall, this movie is great, but any Tarantino fan would tell you
the same thing.
3. Fight Club
Rule 1 about Fight Club: Don’t talk about Fight Club. Rule 2
about Fight Club: Don’t talk about Fight Club! This is perhaps
the most memorable quote from the flick Fight Club, a movie
taken from the 1996 novel by Chuck Palahniuk about the psychological depth of the human mind. The film takes its plot after the
narrator, played by Edward Norton, returns from a business trip
to find his condo reduced to four charred walls after a fire. It is
from here that he meets Tyler Durden, played by Brad Pitt, and
the two begin fighting each other simply because they could. The
movie gets its name from this part, where the two begin an underground ‘fight club.’ The narrator then realizes the sinister
2. Children of Men
Set in the year 2027, Children of Men is the story of a lone
hero in a post-apocalyptic world. The story begins in a coffee
shop, where our hero, Theo Faron (played by the magnificent
Clive Owen), is watching a news broadcast. The anchors speak of
the murder of the youngest human alive—an international superstar known as “Baby Diego,” who was killed at “18 years, 4
months, 20 days, 16 hours, and 8 minutes.”
By 2027 the human race had been infertile for nearly two
decades, a disaster which collapsed nearly every world government and sent the world into anarchy. Only Great Britain remains politically operational, and even they have forcefully
closed their borders and taken on a totalitarian approach. But
when Theo Faron is tasked with saving the life of a young, miraculously pregnant woman, it seems there might yet be hope for
humanity. There’s just one problem, though—she’s an illegal immigrant.
This movie is loaded with spectacular performances, a brilliant script, and some of the best action scenes ever filmed. It
received three Academy Awards and is regarded as one of the
greatest movies of this millennium.
“It’s the first human baby born in eighteen years,” says Theo
in one of his rare instances of humor. “You can’t name it Frolli.”
3. The Big Lebowski
The Coen brothers are widely regarded as two of the very
best directors alive, and their resumes certainly support that type
of praise—everything they touch turns to gold. From Fargo to No
Country for Old Men to O Brother, Where Art Thou? to last winter’s True Grit, the Coen brothers’ filmography is as loaded as
anybody’s.
They struck absolute gold with The Big Lebowski. This
movie is uproariously funny and is considered by many to be one
of the greatest comedies ever. It tells the tale of Jeffrey “The
Dude” Lebowski (Jeff Bridges in his most iconic role), an unem-

ways of his underground club, and the rest is for the watcher to
experience. The movie has a dark tone to reflect the darkness of

movie will leave you questioning what you just witnessed, and

ployed slacker and bowling enthusiast living in a shabby Los
Angeles apartment. The Dude is almost supernaturally lazy and
easygoing to a T, much unlike his outrageous and perpetually
angry right-hand man, a Vietnam veteran named Walter Sobchak (the hilarious John Goodman).
These two get caught up in a ransom scheme and some
other stuff happens, but the plot is utterly unimportant. The
characters bounce off each other all movie long, the performances are flawless, and the dialogue is hilarious. The Big Lebowski is a five-star film.
4. Remember the Titans
Remember the Titans takes place in Virginia during the
early 1970’s, otherwise a hornet’s nest of racism. Herman
Boone, a black man, has just been named coach of the T.C. Williams High School football team, the first in the South. This
movie deals with racism and segregation as the bi-racial team
attempts to win the state title. As the story progresses, the plot
gets more frustrating as more problems are caused as a result of
the newly-abolished segregation. Denzel Washington plays the
lead role, and displays the attributes of Dr. King: quiet, patient,
and calm. This movie portrays not only physical battles, but
emotional battles and twists. If you want a look at what the
south was really like, this movie will show you.
5. That Thing You Do
That Thing You Do is the story of a band’s short-lived success, and is where the term ‘one-hit wonders’ comes from. That
Thing You Do is a song written by The Oneders (pronounced
‘wonders’, a small band from Erie, PA. The band plays a show
featuring their song, and is picked up by larger venues as their
popularity grows. Eventually they are signed by Playtone Records, the top record label of the 60s. It is here that the four
members meet their new agent, Mr. White, played by Tom
Hanks, and the name of the band is changed to simply The
Wonders. The band tours the U.S. for a while, playing state fairs
and even being featured in a motion picture as ‘Captain Geech
and the Shrimp Shack Shooters.’ When the band goes in to record a new album, the mounting tension is too much for the
young friends to handle. This movie has laughs and lows, and is
overall a fun movie.
4. Pulp Fiction
Director Quentin Tarantino is a Hollywood icon. His humorously macabre style of film has spawned a great many imitators, but no equals. Tarantino is a unique director, capable of
being both thoughtful and gruesome. You can rely on him having his thumb right up against the pulse of the Los Angeles
criminal underworld.
Pulp Fiction is the story of Jules Winnfield and Vincent
Vega (Samuel L. Jackson and John Travolta respectively), two
gangsters caught up in this seedy underworld. Samuel L. Jackson will forever be remembered as Jules, the loudmouth but
philosophical gangbanger with an ice-cold trigger finger. Meanwhile, John Travolta’s performance as Vincent literally revived
his career.
There are about six different subplots going on at once, and
the story is not told in chronological order (that is, the events at
the beginning of the movie actually take place after the events at
the end). But this movie is the definition of high-octane. Quentin Tarantino is a legend, and this is his most legendary film.
5. WALL•E
So far on this list I’ve chosen a prison drama, a dystopian
science fiction film, a stoner comedy, and a neo-noir crime saga.
But my fifth favorite movie is a children’s movie. WALL•E is
amazing. It is hilarious, touching, heartfelt, and poignant all at
the same time. If you don’t like this movie, well, I am terribly
sorry for you.
WALL•E, for those who are not aware, is the story of a
small, sentient trash compactor who is seemingly alone on an
abandoned and polluted planet Earth. The human race, meanwhile, has been relocated to a luxury spaceship while the pollution on Earth is cleaned. When the little robot (after whom the
movie is titled) meets a high-tech visitor, a robot named Eve, he
falls in love and chases her across outer space in hopes of wooing her.
The movie has very little actual dialogue, but that does not
hurt it in the slightest. Some of the scenes in this movie do not
require words to cross the line from “great” to simply
“beautiful.” I dare you not to grin ear-to-ear when WALL•E and
Eve play around in space with a fire extinguisher. WALL•E is
the best of Pixar’s movies (which is saying a whole lot), and for
my money one of the greatest films ever made. It’s really saying
something when a children’s movie is considered the best romance of its year.

Wood is the New Gold
By Amber Kachelries
Have you ever received a “woody?”
You know what I’m talking about, those
wooden plaques that Jersey Shore sports
participators get every once in a great
while, with their picture on them? Well, if
you have, you have Mr. Carl Waltz to thank
for that.
Mr. Waltz has been making these
plaques and making Jersey Shore athletes
smile for 15+ years. The 90-year-old resident of Jersey Shore decided to start making these wooden plaques for Jersey Shore
athletes after he took up wood working. As
one of his favorite hobbies, he decided that
it would make a bigger impact if he made a
trophy instead of giving them a cut out picture.
As I walked into the Waltz residence,
the apparent love of woodworking was
shown as he brought me a bag full of
freshly made woodies to gaze upon.
“I make the plaque from junk wood,
and then I cut out the picture in the paper
and spray it with adhesive, then stick it to
the plaque,” said Mr. Waltz when asked
exactly how he makes these day-makers.
Mr. Waltz loves to watch our Bulldog
athletes in action, and he enjoys coming to
the football, basketball, baseball, and softball games, just to name a few. Mr. Waltz
makes tons and tons of plaques, and when
he’s perfected them, he drops them off at
our high school office, and the students
who received them get called down. Mr.
Waltz also makes his famous plaques for
Little League baseball and softball. In order to get them to the athletes, he sometimes has to track down coaches and make
sure the athlete receives their award.
Aside from wood working, Mr. Waltz
digs, maintains, and raises his own plants.
He’s a talented gardener and spends much
of his time tending to his various plants.
Mr. Waltz also served as a mailman for
Jersey Shore for 27 years until he retired.
Mr. Carl Waltz is a man of such wonderful character, and makes these plaques
out of the goodness of his heart, and Jersey
Shore athletes owe him so much!
