Q: Have you ever had to use yourgun or tazer?A: this is probably one of the mostcommon questions I get. I have had touse my gun several times, but I havenever had to shoot anyone. I have usedit to keep bad guys covered until theycan be handcuffed. I have had my gundrawn when I make building searcheswhere we find open doors or windowsof buildings or homes that have beenbroken in to. I have not yet had to usemy tazer. I have seen it used and it is avery effective tool. This tool is verygood to get the bad guys to stop fight-ing by delivering an electric shockfrom a distance. It actually protectsboth the police officer and the crimi-nal, while doing no permanent harm.

Q: Have you ever worked a high-profile case?

Three Circus SiblingsBy Joel Brown

Keaton, Kellin, and Elliana began circus work almost fromthe time they were born because their mom was a circus performerand is still very much a part of circus life today. She is the directorof Circus Harmony. Circus Harmony is a group of people thatcome together and do what they love to do most, which is circuswork. Keaton, Kellin, and Elliana belong to a group called the St.Louis Arches which is part of Circus Harmony. They have learnedhow to juggle, tumble, balance, do magic tricks, and do aerial workon equipment like the Lyre, Spanish Web, and the hapeze. Theypractice three to five days a week on the third floor of the City Mu-seum. They have performed all over the country and even out ofthe country in places such as Los Angles, San Francisco, even inIsrael, and many more. They have also been on TV shows likeSteve Harvev's Big Time and on news channels. Jessica Hentoff(their mom) has been on radio programs and in one movie doingcircus work in the back-round. She recently aired on Classic 99.1.

Kell in's favorite activity is juggling. He has competed inseven competitions and placed first twice. He placed first in the2004 Union Station Championships and first in the 2006 GroundHog Day Championships at which he won a very unusual lookingtrophy in the shape of a ground hog. Elliana also competed in oneof these competitions, but unfortunately did not win because hergreatest skill is in aerial work in which she is very talented. Aerialwork also requires the most strength out of any of the other events.The hardest skills to learn are tumbling and flexibility.

Keaton, Kellin, and Elliana have performed with some fa-mous groups like the Galilee Circus (from Israel), the PatchworkCircus, Circus Flora, and performed for Cirque du Soleil. Everyshow at the City Museum they do is usually with the St. LouisArches. The St. Louis Arches is a youth circus troop under the di-rection of Jessica Hentoff. The kids in this group are from ageseight to seventeen and the group has been around since 1988.There are a total of twelve Arches right now.

In the future Keaton wants to take over his mother's positionas circus director. Kellin would like to travel with a group calledCircus Smirkus and Elliana would also like to travel but with asmaller circus. These circus siblings are some of the best acrobatsin the city and are still getting better.

The City MuseumBy Peter Webb

When most kids hear the word "museum" theythink of school, education, something that they aren't veryexcited about, but when the kids in S.H.A.R.E. heard thewords "City Museum" those things weren't at the back oftheir minds. You see, the Ciry Museum isn't really a mu-seum, although you can learn things, going down a fourstory slide at twenty miles per hour.

The City Museum is an old shoe string factory. Inone room, you can ride down on the chutes that used to bepart of the factory. In another part, you can watch wherethey still make shoe strings. A new part of the museum iscalled "Monstrocity". It is a huge outdoor tree house withtunnels, slides and other incredible things. lt also features aball pit with over 3,000 balls inside. lf you l ike heights,then you'll like the real airplane placed over 5 stories up inthe air. You can go in tubes almost 100 feet high, but becareful, it's not for those afraid of heights. All of whichmakes for more fun than any kid can take.

Ifyou get tired, you can take a look at the bankvault, where they moved an entire bank inside with aworking air lock door. You can also walk inside a l ife-sized whale. lf you like fish, you can go to the second floorwhere they have over 13, 500 square feet of aquariums.,with 10,000 different types of marine l ife.

lf you're looking for entertainment, you can gosee the circus, which has many different shows, from firebreathing, to people on the trapeze. They have it all, andwhile you watch the circus you can eat from the St. LouisBread Company which is located on the second floor ofthe museum.

The kids from S.H.A.R.E. recently went togetherto the city museum and had a great time. Over 337 peopleshowed up for this event.

The City Museum is open almost every day. Youcan see their website at www.Citymuseum.org.

What isAV/ANA?By Tim Segrist

What is AWANA you ask? It is a Chris-tian organization whose mission is to en-courage kids to memorize God's word.AWANA stands for Approved Workmen AreNot Ashamed.

AWANA clubs meet weekly at manydifferent churches. There are basically 3 dif-ferent pafts to an AWANA meeting: lessontime, game time and handbook time. Duringlesson time, the leaders tell stories, showvideos and ask questions. In game time,kids play games such as dodge ball, relayraces, and other events like that. In hand-book time, kids recite the verses to theirleaders that they memorized during theweek. This is the main focus of AWANA.

There are 5 different groups rangingfrom 3 years old through high school. It'sfun for all the ages. The groups from young-est to oldest are Cubbies, Sparks, T&T, Trekand Varsity. Each group has a differenthandbook. The books increase in difficultyas you get older.

There is more to AWANA than just theweekly meeting. There are 2 major events:Bible Quizzing and the AWANA games. At Bi-ble Quizzing, different clubs competeagainst each other to test their bible knowl-edge. They ask questions about the thingsstudents have been memorizing in theirhandbook. At the AWANA Games, AWANAclubs compete against each other in a bunchof different games.

Why do we Doodle?By: Maeven Blankenship

People doodle for many differentreasons, whether it is boredom, frustra-tion, or you're just an artistic person, thereare countless reasons for doodling. Peoplecannot just do nothing; it's in our natureto keep our minds busy. Doodling showsmany things about your state of mind.Most of the time people are just bored.For some people it is a way to relievestress and calm down.

Surprisingly, our doodles couldmean bazillions of things depending onwhat we draw. For example, many peopledraw trees, which can be interpreted asmeaning growth and life. A person whodraws a tree that is big and has bundles ofleaves could mean the person loves lifeand wants to live it to its fullest. Some-body who would draw a thin tree that hasno leaves on it, usually somebody older,may not have the desire for life that theyused to. So maybe you're the type of per-son who draws a house. this could meanthat you place a high value on homes.Men and women do doodle differently. DrRobert Burns says that "men usually drawshapes like squares and triangles andwomen are more likely to draw peopleand faces." If you think about it real harddoodling is like singing in the shower, youget your feelings out without being em-barrassed which might be why so manypeople doodle. In conclusion, doodling isa natural human behavior that keeps ourminds at work while showing our feelingsat the same time. LETS DOODLE!!!

Why Name Brands?By Lindsey Hoyer

I have asked a few people why theylike to buy name brand clothes. Here are afew of the top answers:3 Quality. If it's well known it will most

likely be better quality than brands thatare not well known.

= They are easy to get to. If you go to themall, most of the name brand clothingstores are there so you don't have to goto a lot of different places,

:) Other people are wearing them. You seepeople wearing name brands and youlike them. You think they look cool, soyou get the same thing. You might wearit because your friends do, or becauseyou just see it a lot.

+ You just like it. It looks good because alot of people buy this brand so the de-signers must know what people will like.

These are the main reasons I heardwhen I asked the question. You can wearwhatever you want to; you don't have towear "cool" clothes. Wear what you like!

American Idol

Alan Smith

American ldol, one of America's most successful shows ever, is back, and more and more people wil l vote and Ever sinceit 's premier in 2002, mill ions and mill ions of people have raced home to sit in front of the T.V. to watch people sing their hearts outin front of a panel of three judges. When I say millions, I mean millions: last year, more people voted for their favorite contestantsthan for the president of the United States in the 2004 presidential election. It 's almost sad what people do just to vote: some peoplesit forhours and wait to get just one vote in. More fun to the viewers of American ldol is its comedy factor. Let's face it, we love tosee contestants be shot down by Simon Cowell or be told they were too "pitchy" by Randy Jackson (Paula Abdul is just there tomake people feel better). Why? What we all are thinking when we watch them is this, "lf I can't be famous, why should they?" Thatis what drives mill ions of people to watch the auditions, but what happens when the judges say, "See you in Hollywood!"? As con-testants advance to the next round and perform in Hollywood, that's when more and more people tune in, feeling they have to votefor their favorite performer in order to help advance them to the final round. Viewers call, and call, and call, and text, and text, andtext, in hopes of pushing their favorite singer on to victory. Once someone wins the competition, it's not over. Fans are already pre-paring for the next season, in which many will forget about what happened last year.

The discontentment of all who go to audition is one more factor. They go in search of riches and fame (or just to get on T.V.).bu tendupwa lk ingou tw i thaye l l ows l i po fpape ro rno th inga ta l l .Pau l says inPh i l i pp ians4 : l l - 13 t ohecon ten tw i thu tha tyouhave. lgnoring this has been the downfall of the hopeful people who only audition to become famous, not to glorify God, or evenhelp other people in some way.

Movie Review: I Am LegendBy Kelli Clark

Actor: Will Smith

Plot: It all stafts when some doctors are trying to finda cure for cancer and they found itl But the downside, itturned everyone who took the medicine into nocturnal,zombie/vampire mutants. And what's worse, it got air-borne and everyone catches the epidemic, except forthe 10lo of the population who were immune, includingRobeft Neville (Smith), and his trusty dog, Sam, wholive in downtown New York.All New York is wiped out except for Neville and Samwho go to the pier every day and make a radio broad-cast for anyone who is still "alive" to meet him there forfood and shelter. But the tricky part was getting back tohis house before dark to escape the "zombies" whowould roam around at night looking for the "alive" tofeed on. (Thank goodness they didn't show them doingthat!) Neville was a doctor, who was looking for a curethe whole movie, and when a woman and child showup because "God told her to listen to the radio" theyfind the cure all because of God.

Review: They pray in God's name and it was becauseof God that they found the cure. It was very scary insome parts, so YES to your questionf "Is it a horrormovie?" They also mention it wasn't God's fault thishappened. It was man's lust for power. I really liked it,but it is rated very appropriately. I would not recom-mend it for kids under 13.Rating: PG-13 My rating: PG-13

$"*v*Sea Monsters: A Prehistoric Adventure

By David Tate

Footage of real archaeological digs, combined with stunning 3-D graphics, make this St. Louis Science Center Omnimax filmworth seeing! Following the life of a young dolichorynchops (known as Dolly), the film's creators take real fossils found byarchaeologists and reproduce them on screen, through fantastic animation. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie and I thought thatit was amazing to see actual fossils, and what they would have looked like if they were alive. The film's story focuses-onyoung "Dolly" as she follows her main source of food with her mother and brother. Along the way they encounter manystrange and wonderful creatures such as the mosasaurs which are huge carnivorous beasts that rule the ocean. I thought themovie was very well done and did not overtly promote evolution. Also, the directors did a good job of making it exclting, butnot frightening. All-in-all, I thought this was one of the best omnimax films I've seen.

Ravel

OR The Tortoise and the Hare: Revised Edition

By David Tate

(my short story fiom Lit Class)

You may think the "Tortoise and the Hare" story is nothing but a myth, lbut you would be wrong. As you probably haveheard, the toftoises won the Great Race on that memorable summer day, but you may not know what happened afterward. Followingthe race, the irate hares were overcome with jealousy, and began randomly attacking the tortoises. As winter came, the exhaustedanimals stopped fighting and retreated to their own lands to prepare for the bitter cold. A long silence followed, but the strife was notforgotten. After many seasons, whispers of a coming hare attack spread among the tortoise countryside. There was even talk of anassassination plot against the Tortoise King. Ravel, a young tortoise, was fearful of what might happen if war came. He was bornwithout a shell and lived as an outcast among the other animals. Ravel's worries were interrupted by an unexpected visit ffom one ofthe King's messengers. The king wanted to use Ravel's weakness to his advantage; he was summoned to be a spy in enemy lands.Ravel questioned the king's decision, his insecurity and fears overwhelming him. The wise messenger told Ravel that he would notbe easily recognized as a tortoise, and his agility and quickness would serve him well. After much thought, Ravel finally agreed tohelp. He immediately began the journey, and was soon deep in hare territory. Ravel did not sleep for days as he wandered throughthe unfamiliar lands, looking for information. Early one morning, he saw smoke rising from behind a knoll in the forest. He cau-tiously approached, and discovered an abandoned campsite. Suddenly, Ravel felt a sharp pain in the back ofhis head. The last thinghe saw before darkness closed in around him was a large rock falling to the ground. When he awakened, he heard muffled harevoices discussing his fate. Ravel realized that a cloak had been tied around his head. Continuing to act unconscious, he peeredthrough a hole in the fabric and discovered that his captors were the Elite Warriors, led by the Hare King."My lord, we have secured the trespasser, but we have no idea what kind of creature it is," said one of the warriors. The Hare Kingglanced under the cloak in disbelief and exclaimed, "l have never seen a being such as this. The thing is no threat to us; toss it in theriver at once!" When Ravel felt himself being picked up by two very strong hares, he prepared for the worst. As he sank in the icywater, Ravel tore the cloak fiom his body. He fought against the current and struggled to the surface, gasping for air. Ravel swamtoward the riverbank, thankful that he didn't have a shell (For as everyone knows, tortoises with shells cannot swim at all). Ex-hausted, Ravel dragged himself onto dry land. In the distance he spotted a hare village, and slowly made his way toward it. While hehid in a pile of branches, Ravel heard the surprising words of an old hare, gathering wood nearby."Are you in need of some help, my friend?Ravel was too weak to answer, so the kind hare carried him back to his bunow. The wet. cold tortoise slept for the first time sinceleaving his own country.Months later, Ravel was still living with Aquinas, the old hare, and the two had become close friends. They were often joined byothers in the hare village, talking late into the night about hare history. Ravel was surprised to learn that Aquinas had been the chiefadvisor to the Hare King, but had been dismissed over his objections to the tortoise attacks. Ravel listened in amazement as Aquinastold him another secret; the hares wanted peace with the tortoises, but the cruel Hare King had forced them to fight. After hearingthis, Ravel finally revealed to the hare village that he was a tortoise. The news quickly spread to every common hare in the land. Thehares hated their king, and agreed to keep Ravel's true identity hidden. Soon after, the Hare King began to pressure his subjects tolaunch another attack on the tortoises. Ravel devised a plan that would help both the tortoises and the hares, and Aquinas aided himin spreading the word. As the hares readied their armor and weapons for the upcoming battle, Ravel privately wondered how hecould ever protect himself. Aquinas and the hare craftsman provided an end to his worries; they presented him with a suit of armor,crafted to resemble a spiked tortoise shell. Ravel thanked them, amazed that he had made so many ffiends in "enemy" territory.The day finally came when the Hare King and his Elite Warriors gathered the hare troops and forced them to march against the tor-toise people. The warriors drove the hares forward toward the outskirts of the tortoise kingdom. The Tortoise King and his com-mander watched in horror from their watchtower as the hare arrny approached. Rwel has failed as, thought the Tortoise King. Weare doomed. As the Hare King called out the command to charge, Ravel and Aquinas stepped out of the shadows. Aquinas soundedhis battle horn and together they led the common hares, turning them around in a surprise attack against the Hare King and all of hiswarriors. The plan was working; the Hare King and his men were stunned, but brutally fought back against the smaller, untrainedcommon hares. Ravel, confident in his new arrnor, charged directly into a group of the strongest warriors and sent them flying in alldirections. Aquinas bravely fought the Elite General until he was driven back, pinned against a boulder. Summoning all of hisstrength, the old hare leapt over the enormous general, reaching back to thrust his spear into his enemy's chest. As the general fell,Aquinas spotted Ravel struggling against the Hare King. He pulled out his spear and staggered over to help his friend. The king rec-ognized Aquinas at once. Screaming "Traitor!" he swung at Aquinas with his deadly mace. Seconds before the mace reached Aqui-nas, Ravel threw himself at the Hare King, slamming the fyrant into the ground with his spikes. The king was dead; the commonhares were finally ffee of their cruel leader and his warriors. Their joyous thumping shook the earth. As Ravel helped Aquinas to his

ISSUE 2 PAGE 15CONTINUED FROM PAGE 14

feet, they spotted the tortoise army advancing towards them, ready for battle. A hush fell over the hares. Ravel steppedout in front of the hare army to face his people."Do you not remember me?" he asked.Ravel was met with a cold silence. He began to take off his armor. Gasps were heard from the tortoise arrny as they real-ized who it was."We were once enemies, but now we can live in peace," Ravel yelled to the crowd.As the tortoise and hare armies began to comprehend what the powerful words meant, their shouts ofjoy became deaf-ening. Ravel had accomplished the impossible!After days of celebration, the hare army bid farewell to Ravel and the tortoises and journeyed back to their own land.Upon arriving, the hares unanimously chose Aquinas to serve as their new leader. Ravel, once an outcast, was welcomedback as a true hero. His family begged for forgiveness and offered him a place of honor in their home. Ravel became atrusted advisor to the Tortoise King; when the aged ruler died a few years later, Ravel was elected as his successor. Thetortoises and the hares continued to live together in peace (wisely avoiding any races). Ravel and Aquinas went on tohave many more adventures, including the War of the Snakes. That, however, is another storyl

TFIE UNTOLD BATTLE OF KING BOP by Noah PendergrassThwackl Bop, the frog king of the Northern Pond, once again knocks down the last dummy in a level 100 Schwang-fu

training course. Schwang-fu, of course, is the martial art of knocking $omeone out without even touching them. Upon acknowledg-ing the applause of amazement from his students, Bop decides he's tired and should go to bed.

It was not long, however, until his only fully*trained student Pinky awakened him with the news that the Kingdoms wereunder attack by the Velomodons. Velomodons are huge, alligator*like monsters that generally walk on two bulging legs, sweeprngtheir hulking tails back and fotlh to counteract the swinging of their t itanic arms as they walk. This was bad news indeed. King Bopordered Pinky to send all level 50 and above students to get to the gates, and all level 49 and under students into the keep.

After a few moments of strategizing with his brother, King Hop, Bop went down to the gates himself, where he found thatthe Velomodons were almost through the gate; and, as expected, they broke through shortly. They fought for what seemed to bedays in the dirt*grounded courtyard. The Velomodons were not only fighting, but also fl ipping and smashing the small wooden cartsand stone statue$ that peopered the terrain.

Both kings were becoming confident that they would win, but then King Bop felt a WHUMP on his head. Before he couldturn to $ee who hit him, he was inexorably incapacitated.

Hip-Hop (the vil lage D.J.) saw what happened and dragged him off the battlefield. After some consideration of possiblepunishment. Hip-Hop decided that with the help of a large bucket of ice-cold water, King Bop should awaken. King Bop did in factwake up from his whump-induced slumber. With some surprise and much gratitude, he went back to fight.

At this point the Velomodons were steadily pushing the frog knights back. Bop looked everywhere for his brother andnephew, King Hop, and Princeothy Hoppington, but could not f ind them. He was crushed at the thought of them being kil led or cap-tu red ,bu thehadnocho i ce -he rnus tkeep f i gh t i ng . l t seemed toBop tha t thegooda rmyhadha l f t heamoun to f t heo r i g i na l so ld ie rs -- what happened? This was not in the plan. They were winning not bui an hour ago. and now they were being desecrated.

King Bop was distraught; he and his remaining students were cornered. They had lost. The chief Velomodon was slowlywalking towards the dazed King Bop, throwing insults and swear$ at him like rocks. Hip-Hop threw a flying kick at the chief, but Hip-Hop was simply too tired and was knocked aside like a sack of potatoes. The two armies then decided to hold whllst the two leadersfought in a small dirt circle made by the troops. Bop, knowing the Velomodons were aggressive, waited for the chief to make the firstmove, which he did. The chief spun around. fl inging his long, thick, scaled tail at Bop" Bop jumped into a flying headbutt, dodgingthe tail and hitt ing the huge Velomodon directly in the back of the head. This hurt Bop almost as much as the chief, but the king tookthe moment to his advantage and threw a flying kick from behind. The chief ducked, Bop went flying, but he recovered quickly. TheVelomodon then tore a plank of wood from a nearby stall and hurled it at Bop. To King Bop it seemed as if the whole thing was inslow motion. He saw the plank hurtl ing towards him and the chief running at him not far behind. Summoning all his strength, Bopflew up in the air, performed a back flip 360 over the plank and kicked it as hard as he had ever kicked anything. The pure concus-sive blast sent a shock wave that knocked over most of the troops. However, it completely stopped the rotation of his flip, and he fellto the ground with a broken foot. However, not without success, for the plank struck the chief Velomodon right between the eyes,knocking him several feet backwards and totally incapacitating him. This should have meant that the frogs had won. The Velomo-dons however, would have none of that, and they began to charge at Bop and his greatly outnumbered troops, soeaming and rag-ing toward them" But then, everyone stopped and turned.

To this day no one can quite explain the booming sound that was heard orwhat made it, but it was loud and glorious.King Hop and the other half of the soldiers weren't dead or captured; they had just circled around to attack from the

rear. King Bop and his students took the chance and charged the distracted and panicking Velomodons.After an hour or so of dizzying the Velomodons to a knockout. they were all incapacitated. The frog citizens then tied the

Velomodons up and carried them back to the outskirts of the land, where the Velomodons awoke and found themselves tiedup. The chief Velomodon was checked on to make sure he wasn't dead. and then left right where he was. The frog citizens de-cided to wait for him to wake up after the battle and watch him scream like a little girl and run away to wherever the elusive Velomo-land is .

The next day there was an award ceremony given by the two kings. Hip-hop was awarded the Medal Of Valiancy for sav-ing King Bop and trying to attack the chief Velomodon. Pinky was raised to the rank of Captain in the army because he was the onewho alerted the kings of the attack.

King Bop {whose foot healed shortly) and all his comrades and family and students had once again defeated ihe Velomo-dons. and they lived happily, but not without problems, ever after.

A: Yes. One night I received a call for asuspicious person in a vehicle parked infiont ofa residence. The suspect wasgoing through unlocked vehicles andstealing things. When I arrived with an-other officer we found the suspiciousvehicle with the engine still running butthe suspect was nowhere to be found.Upon doing a record check ofthe suspi-cious vehicle's l icense plate, we discov-ered that the auto was stolen out of Ala-bama. We called in a police canine unitand tracked the suspect. While we werefollowing his trail, we had just hopped afence when we saw another vehicle pullin to the entrance of the subdivisionwhere we found the suspect's car. Thatsame vehicle immediately backed outand drove by me, so I put my flashlighton him as he drove to get a description.The suspect just smiled and waved anddrove past, doing the speed limit. I im-mediately called in the description of thesuspect and his vehicle to our dispatcher.I then heard his vehicle accelerate away.It ended up that he almost hit anotherofficer trying to get on Interstate 270 andaway from the police.After a 5-hour manhunt, we caught himin a resident's garuge in the City of Kirk-wood. Kirkwood's police dog went inthe garage to get the suspect-the suspectwas not happy about that, but he hadbeen warned!.Just like McGruff theCrime Dog, the Kirkwood canine "took abite out of crime"!It ended up the suspect was an escapedconvict wanted for two murders and sev-eral armed robberies. After we caughthim, he escaped ffom prison again andwas profiled on the TV show "America'sMost Wanted".

H i s t o r yA simple prayer. "Lord, even as we enjoy the Super Bowl footbali game, help us be mindful of

those who are without a bowl of soup to eat" is inspiring a youth-led movement to help hungry

and hurting people around the world.

This prayer, delivered by Brad Smith, then a seminary intern serving at Spring Valley

Presbyterian Church in Columbia, SC, gave birth to an idea. Why not use Super Bowl weekend,

a time when people come together for football and fun, to also unify the nation for a higher

good: collecting dollars and canned food for the needy? Youth could collect donations at their

schools and churches in soup pots, and then send every dollar DIRECTLY to a local charity of

THEIR choice.

The senior high youth of Spring Valley Presbyterian liked the idea so much they decided to

invite other area churches to join the team. Twentytwo Columbia churches participated that first

year, reporting their results so a total could be determined, and then sending all $5,700 they had

raised to area non-profits.

That was 1990. Since then, ordinary young people have generated an extraordinary $41 mil l ion

for soup kitchens, food banks and other charities in communities across the country. In addition,

hundreds of thousands of youth have experienced for themselves the joy and satisfaction of

giving and serving, inspir ing people of al l ages to fol low their generous'example.

The Souper Bowl of Caring is fundamentally a faith init iative, as the idea was born of a

prayer. We seek to love God by loving our neighbors, and through this, young people

will see that by God's grace, they can make a difference in the l ives of others. The

Souper Bowl of Caring is an ideal way to engage communities of all faiths in the fight

against hunger and poverty. lt 's simple enough to be done with l imited resources and' can be adapted to meet the needs of your congregation or your community group.

Get your group involved with fighting hunger and showing others what we can do if we

band together. Check out how you can register your group to be part of the Souper Bowl

of Hunger at www.souperbowl.org
