Isist o good work from your staff, but be kid so they are willig to work. No matter what, you are goig to mess up, but go for gold agai, ad I promise it will be worth it.

I had so may experieces where I wrote a story ad received a thak you letter i the mail o how well writte it was ad that they appreciated the ackowledgmet for their hard work. That s what jouralism is all about! Reachig out ad helpig others through writig, ad that s exactly what I ecourage all of you to do ext year. Thaks to Ms. Ashto for helpig us through this year.

Beig oe of the few celebrities comig out of the small tow of Leo, may members of the commuity, icludig may studets, looked up to Souder ad with admiratio ad pride. Souder s great success is ispirig ad made the belief that if oe wats somethig, it ca be achieved. The great pride that the people of Leo had i this Mark souder speaks at a press coferece just weeks before his resigatio. oe ma was crushed, however, o May 18 of this year whe he aouced his resigatio. Like may other well kow people i the world such as Tiger Woods ad former Presidet PHOTO BY FLICKR.COM Bill Clito, Leo s ow Mark Souder committed the act of adultery agaist his wife of 30 years. Souder aouced his resigatio after admittig to a affair with log-time fellow female staffer, Tracy Jackso. This truth of this affair may be eve worse tha others due to the may differet thigs Souder ad Jackso have doe together throughout the years icludig a public video extollig abstiece ad its importace. I a writte statemet released the morig of May 18, Souder said, It is with great regret I aouce that I am resigig from the U.S. House of Represetatives as well as resigig as the Republica omiee for Cogress i this fall s electio...i sied agaist God, my wife ad my family by havig a mutual relatioship with a part time member of my staff. I am so shamed to have hurt those I love. Obviously, as a politicia ad widely kow public figure, a public apology is the first step i makig everythig okay right? This cliché act of apology does ot make up for all the hurt these celebrities ad politicias have caused. The heartfelt apology after doig somethig like this does ot mea aythig. It did ot work for Tiger, ad it is ot goig to work for Souder either. Because of his resigatio, Dimesio Ford ower Bob Thomas is ow i the lead for the positio i cogress; however, there are 11 other cadidates ruig agaist Thomas. Oe of these cadidates is Rya Elijah, the morig ews aoucer for the Idiaa News Ceter. Mark Souder atteded the Natioal Blue Ribbo Award ceremoy at Leo High School ad eve spoke i frot of the etire cogregatio sayig how hoored he was to have bee ivited. Souder was the tow celebrity, a perso whom everyoe looked up to, admired, ad aspired to be like. Souder, just like former Presidets Nixo ad Clito who were extremely successful i the political resposibilities ad achievemets, had a dowfall. The tow of Leo will cotiue to take pride i all this ma has accomplished. He is oe of the most well kow persos to come out of Leo High School, ad every Lio will cotiue to look up to him, ad past this tragic dowfall. This small hiccup i the middle of all his great accomplishmets should ot chage how people view him as a politicia or look past everythig he has doe.

Accordig to ydailytimes.com, cops say that the ordeal bega i a Holiday I where Taylor allegedly paid $300 to the mior for sex. His trial i Jue will tell the validity of the charges ad accusatios agaist him. Taylor is just oe of the great gridiro stars who has bee idolized by thousads of fas but still let may dow by his behavior outside the white lies of the football field.

Simpso, a successful ruig back ad movie star who was depicted as a moster whe he was arrested for double homicide i 1994 ad became a cliché for the athlete who lost his way. Other football players like Tak Johso ad Plaxico Burress, who have bee arrested for multiple gu charges, leave some disbelief that their favorite athlete who made great blocks or fatastic catches was capable of doig aythig wrog. The fact is these pro athletes who look so persoable i their Got Milk? ad Gatorade advertisemets make millios of dollars a year ad, like the rest of society, have a past. With a past will almost surely come habits ad tedecies that are ot exactly preferred. While their publicists Leo Graduate gives back Ke Maxfield was bor ad raised i Leo, Idiaa ad graduated from Leo High School i Maxfield ad his wife have chose Leo to receive $100,000 i scholarship moey to Idiaa -Purdue Fort Waye (IPFW).

Without cosiderig lastig legacy ad reputatio, he is ot gettig paid to make ayoe happy with his offfield behavior. He gets paid to throw, catch, block, or tackle. Of course, the geeral public is ot to blame here. The character of someoe is hard to discer through the cover of professioal marketig.

While their experieces i Japa, Thailad, Frace, Brazil, Ugada, Morocco, Idia ad Los Ageles were differet, they all had somethig i commo, ad that was that all wome care about their outward appearace.

Freshma Keaa Gary is a regular viewer of the show ad watches it aytime she gets the chace to sit dow.

Accordig to Gary the show helps show wome ad youg girls that beauty comes i differet forms ad shows that the beauty that matters is o the iside.

Warm weather brigs dress code violatios By Alyssa Mulheri Feature editor Studets who have bee goig to this high school sice seveth grade should kow the dress code by ow, but some studets still try to get away with some clothig that is iappropriate for school. I see about three studets a week who are disobeyig the dress code, said dea of studets Deis Ker. I see more studets disobeyig the dress code i the sprig because of the warm weather. Accordig to the dress code i the Leo High School plaer, studets should be dressed i a maer that is coducive to a busiesslike, scholastic atmosphere. If a teacher feels a dress code violatio has occurred, the teacher should otify a admiistrator. Overall, ay clothig item questioed by staff will be reviewed by a admiistrator, accordig to the school rules. If the regulatios for the dress code are ot followed, the cosequeces will be put ito effect by the admiistratio. If I see a dress code violatio, I will speak to the studet ad fid a way to correct the violatio, said Ker. Accordig to the dress code i our plaer, studets wearig iappropriate clothig will be required to chage ito clothig provided by the school if the studet does ot have appropriate clothig available. There are studets who thik the dress code is fie the way it is. Seior Drew Adams said people do ot eed to be comig to school dressed iappropriately. I thik the dress code is fie, said Ker. The clothes that the studets wear to school are fie but the eforcemet o the studets is ot strict eough I thik. There are several dress code violatios that take place everyday that are very mior ad studets do ot eve kow they are violatig the dress code. A little thig such as havig revealig rips or tears that are shorter tha four iches above the kee ca is a violatio of the dress code. If I could chage aythig about the dress code it would be the rule about jeas with rips or tears i them, said freshme Victoria Love. I would chage this because there is really o poit of it uless they are too revealig. Aother violatio towards the dress code is the fact that girls will wear shirts that reveal or show their bra or bra straps. Shirt sleeves must be a miimum of 2 iches wide. Girls ted to wear shorts ad skirts that are too short durig the warmer weather. Just like the holes i jeas eed to be o higher up tha four iches above the kee, so do skirts ad shorts. Just because it s summer ad the weather is warm, does ot mea studets get to wear whatever they wat. They still have to follow the dress code whether they like it or ot. Aother aspect of the dress code is that studets are ot permitted to wear ay school sports uiforms. Accordig to the dress code i the Leo High School plaer, ay sports uiforms or activity outfits wor durig the school day must be i compliace with the dress code. A exceptio is gym clothig. Also, exceptios ca be made to the dress code durig spirit weeks ad special evets. Also, due to the costatly chagig variety of apparel styles, the admiistratio has the authority to determie if a clothig item or accessory ot specifically covered i the dress code is appropriate for school attire.
