UW-Parkside mourns student's death Series Number The series number of the original collection. UWPAC124 Ranger News Text Any textual data included in the document 1 Issue 10 Vol. 33 Tke University of Wisconsm-Parksitle s Student Newspaper Feb. 27-March 5, 2003 UW-Parkside mourns student's death Christine Rathke On Monday, Feb. 17, 2003, a crowd of more than 200 stu­dents, staff, friends, and family gathered on the UW-Parkside campus to mourn the death of student Christine Rathke. She was killed in a head-on car collision the previous day. Emo­tions ran high as candles were lit and tears were shed for the 20-year-old junior. A 20-minute press confer­ence took place earlier in the day to answer questions with the students and the UW -Park-side Women's Basketball team Rathke was so much a part of. Athletic Director Dave Williams was there with the Women's Basketball coach Jenny Knight and team captains Jamie Nebel and Katie Pruessing. "Our deepest sympothies go out to the Rathke family; they are our number-one concern at this point," said Williams. It appeared as if the team members had not only lost a teammate, but a good friend. "She had a way of bringing the team together," said Puessing."I can still hear her laugh." "She was always a team player," Knight commented. "She just cared about others and didn't really think about herself first." Rathke had her whole future in front of her. Sports seemed to be her life. She was awarded a full scholarship at Southeast Missouri State Uni­versity after leading the Franklin High School basketball team to the state finals for two consecutive years. She moved home after two years in Mis­souri to be closer to friends and family. It seemed like Rathke was just getting back into the feel of the game after missing the first 16 games due to injuries. Her first game back was on Jan. 23, 2003. She only scored two points and had one rebound, but the home game on the day before Rathke's death, she scored a season-high 20 points, and had six rebounds. "She did have a great game that day and she was just real­ly excited," Knight said. According to Jyl Krohn, Rathke's oldest sister, she loved the game of basketball, and "She had a way of bringing the team together...I can still hear her laugh" lived for it in every way. But she was not aspiring to go professional as an athlete. Instead, she took school more seriously seeking a degree in communi­cations and hoping to become a teacher or coach at some point. The car accident that robbed Rathke of her future is said to be the result of reckless driving. The driver of the car that crossed the center line of the highway moments before it hit Rathke's car head on was 19-year-old Victor Sanchez, who was taken into custody after being treated for head and neck injuries. He faces a charge of homi­cide by negligent operation of a vehicle and his case is being reviewed by the Milwaukee Coun­ty District Attorney's Office. Sanchez's 20-year-old passenger, Carlos Martinez Ramos, was in critical condition with severe head injuries as of February 18,2003. Those mourning the death of Rathke did not focus on who to blame as much as they focused on the fact that their friend was gone forever. The women's basketball team practice was cancelled on Monday so the team could attend the memorial service that night, and the game on Thursday was postponed for Rathke's funeral. The basketball team 'On the day before Rathke's death, she scored a season-high 20 points, and had six rebounds." attempted to get back on track with a few informal practices, preparing for their next game against Southern Indiana. Knight said they want to try and do something to memori­alize Rathke as a teammate. With only four more games left in the season, the Rangers hope to have Rathke's high spirits with them.

Email us! therangernews_uwp@yahoo.com Letter from the editor Date: May 7 , 2004 Studio: Wyllie D139C Hey Porkside, It has been quite a year for the staff of The Ranger News. Many things have changed for us during the course of the year, and "here we are; our final issue. We feel that with every new issue, the paper gets better than the previous issue. This year, we have established ourselves and our mission toward the UW-Parkside community. Next year, we hope to bring the paper to the next level. On behalf of o ur staff, thank you for reading this year. Congratulations to ail graduating seniors and good luck i n the future. To all of you returning this Fall: we'll see you soon! —Henry D. Caskins, Editor-in-Chief Staff Member of the Year At the beginning of the school year, back in September 2003, a brightcycd girl entered Wyllie DI39C (The Ranger News Headquarters) inquiring about the possibility of writing for UWParkside's student newspaper. Since The Ranger News is always looking for more writers, we welcomed her with open arms. She brought ideas, ambition, and hard work, and the newspaper would be completely different today if Emily Rasbornik hadn't come, which is why we have chosen her to be our Staff Member of the Year. She has a drive to get things accomplished, and she has proved that time and time again throughout the year. When she first started, the newspaper was lacking a graphic designer, so the staff was working overtime trying to figure out how layout works. Emily stayed late nights helping us get the Fall 2003 issues designed and completed. She always comes up with new ideas, such as the Health and Body page, the Style page, and any other story she thinks might be worthwhile to write. She takes care of the Police Beat and writes most of the headings for each one (over some cosmopolitans, no doubt). Besides the newspaper, Emily takes advantage of all opportunities here at UW-Parkside by being involved as a DJ for 101.7 FM WIPZ, throwing down on some intramural sports, and utilizing the Career Center, which helped hook her up with an internship at a Milwaukee radio station this summer. Emily is a senior majoring in communication and seeking her professional writing certificate. She plans on a May 2005 graduation. She has been a great co-worker for all of us, and we hope she brings her ideas and ambition back with her next year, sr Artie ie Submissions Among other things, The an outlet for students interested in jou rnalism and writing in general.

I li ke the humorous headings to each incident, but one went too far. The one I am referring to is the person who suffered a seizure while on campus and was taken to a hospital. The heading written for that incident was "All Shook Up." This seemed a bit insensitive. -Anonymous I've been attempting to keep up with the events of the Parkside Student Government Association (PSG A) through reading The Ranger News and I've found many articles to be very biased. In the April 15th issue, there was a brief entitled "PSGA Argues Over Constitution." The title in itself has a negative vibe to it considering the word "argues" carrys with it negative feelings. —Anonymous I would like to say that I agree with the person who wrote in complaining about the meal plan system. It is ridiculous! And what about the chancellor's pancake breakfast? Did 1 really read that poster right? 10 o'clock to midnight?! That's just crazy. In fact, that's not even breakfast! Where I come from, that's called... something else. Also, the Gateway Gazette looks much better than The Ranger News. Why don't you guys switch to color? —Anonymous The Gateway Gazette is published once every two months, and they have a bigger budget than we do. It is also a faculty-run newspaper, whereas The Ranger News is completely student run. Got a complaint?

Page 4 The Ranger News ' -- Interview with PSGA President Elect Chris Semenas .. * „ nnlno un to cfiirlents in Wvlli May 7 , 2004 By Josh Langer The Ranger News: First, I'd like to say congratulations on winning the PSGA presidential election. Chris Semenas: Thank you. It was a lot of hard work. It was a hard fought race and I had a great time doing it because a lot of people who helped out on my campaign were people I didn't even know three weeks ago and now they're close friends. Those are the people that, on election night, you're the most grateful to. Because they're the ones that believed in you, and they're the ones that fought with you, and they're the ones that stuck with you to the end. The Ranger News: What do you think distinguished you from the other candidates and allowed you to win? Chris Semenas: I t hink it was my experience. I've been here for three years, and been involved on many different levels on this campus. I'm known by other student leaders on campus. Dave's [Koss, Semenas s running mate and new PSGA vice president] and my campaign organization was very well put together. We had people out there from 9 o'clock in the morning to 6 o'clock at night days before the election, and on elections day, we talked to students in our classes, we talked to organizations, we talked to people involved with athletics. We got a lot of people to come together. We built a strong base and coalition. I think students recognize that there needs to be someone who is represented with them on all levels of this campus, who is going to walk forw ard, and be the unifying force, so when I d o sit in on the faculty senate, or I am talking to the chancellor, that I am representing all the views. I think a lot of students recognized that when they went to vote. But most of all I h ave to hand it out to the people that helped out on my campaign. Their belief in me, those friends and supporters, helped me to go forward. The Ranger News: Will you be presiding over like-minded senators? Will you command the majority necessary to accomplish your goals? Chris Semenas: The election came out overwhelmingly in favor of me, Dave, and the fifteen people that ran with us. Of the twenty five people running [for senate,] fifteen of them were on the STAR slate, which is Students Talking About Real issues. The senators that were elected on the STAR slate were the top fifteen vote getters. I th ink why is because we were organized and because we were out there. I d on't think it will be my job to preside over the meeting next year as it is this year (because 1 am the president pro tempore this year), but next year I will be working with individual senators and lobbying them on issues and talking to them. I am the leader of this organization now. and I want new senators to know I am there to help them. Furthermore, I will facilitate any discussions students need to have on campus. The Ranger News: How do you plan to lead the senate? What goals are going to be accomplished for the students? Chris Semenas: My first priority is bringing together that disconnect that we notice on this campus. Because a lot of times we don't see organizations and athletics working together. We're all students here. We all have the same issues, and one thing we need to look at is how are we actually going out there and talking to students? What Dave and I campaigned on was renewing, rebuilding, and redefining how student government works. First of all, we need to renew our commitment to the students. The students are the ones that elected us. We need to be serving the students, whether it's going to classrooms and doing classroom raps, to going to organization meetings, or going to sports teams and talking to them during their practices, or even going up students Wyllie Market or the cafeteria and saying, state legislature is doing this, we need your voices heard. It's all about having the students voices heard. It's also about rebuilding PSGA. The PSGA has come a long way from where it was two years ago, when I was first elected, and it's about rebuilding the inside—making it more efficient, having a close link of senators, having directors who work closely with each other on issues that are effecting them. We need to be voicing our shared governance committee because we're actually one of the most powerful campuses in the country, because we have Wisconsin state statute 36095. where students have a pari with what goes on in [the administration of] the university. A seat that I'm going to utilize to the maximum is the faculty senate seat. A student [the PSGA president] gets a voting seat on the faculty senate. On April 25, our senate passed a resolution opposing a policy change proposed [by faculty] where they wanted to impose that students must get a C or better on the ENGLISH 101, the MATH 102, or the MATH 111 class before they could take any upper level classes. What that would mean is that a freshman who would want to take an internship on a political campaign that year because they believe in the candidate, couldn't take that, because they didn't pass these classes. The students united—when I was up there campaigning I heard students talking about this—the students united, spoke out against this, and in the end, our president cast the tie-breaking vote against this. When students spoke up there, a lot of professors minds started to change. When they walked in there, they supported [the proposal for C or better to take upper level classes,] but in the end, the students' voice ended up prevailing. That's what student government needs to be doing again. We need to be having our voice being heard. PASA Earns Major Status Award By Josh Langer The Parkside Adult Student Alliance (PASA) was chosen as the Major Status Organization of the Year. PASA makes it their mission to "provide outstanding peer support, service, and programming to the non-traditional students of UW-Parkside," in the words of the organization's president. Donna Mink ley. PASA's current enrolled membership of 117 students is a nearly 50% increase over the previous academic year. With more active members, the effectiveness of the organization in reaching out to their peers increases. A non-traditional student is "anyone with adult responsibilities outside the classroom," according to Rebecca Ferguson, UWParkside's advisor for non-traditional students. Ferguson holds a PhD, and she was non-traditional status during graduate school. Many non-traditional students come back to college after spending years in the workforce or military. During this time, many receive on the job training that qualifies as college level. This college level learning can be translated into academic credit. One of Ferguson's duties as advisor is to assist non-traditional students in realizing their maximum potential through the Credit for Experience-Based Learning (CEBL). PASA is a resource for every non-traditional student, whether a working mother of two or a grandfather, to find all the resources UW-Parkside has to offer. PASA's goal is to have its members graduate and leave UW-Parkside and PASA, gaining valuable leadership skills that will extend to their future careers. Minkley, five other PASA members, and Ferguson attended the Association of Non-Traditional Students in Higher Education (ANTSHE) conference in Dallas this spring. "When I went to the ANTSHE conference, f felt that Parkside was an outstanding school for providing support to non-traditional students," said Minkley, taking a break from writing her senior thesis. Minkly, in addition to being president of PASA, was awarded the distinction of Outstanding Student Organization Member for her high GPA. Minkley wrote in her nomination for the major status organization award that "PASA takes the development of its members seriously and we sponsor deserving students to make it possible for them to attend conferences in their majors." She cites member Jamie Lambert's trip to Texas to study geosciences, and member Rebecca Nicke's trip to attend a mock European Union Conference, which was required by her political science major. In addition to offering services to deserving students, PASA has consistently and admirably designed top-notch programming at which all UWParkside students are welcome. They started last year with the Family Weekend Carnival, which drew 300 people to campus. Another program that PASA made happen, which was co-sponsored by the Black Student Union (BSU), was last year's appearance at UW-Parkside by the Muntu African Dance Troop. The Ranger News UW-Parkside Rallies Behind Racine's Gang Diversion Program By Tracy Medek It is challenging to find a cause that can stir the heart, excite the imagination, and spur the spirit of activism in a single individual, let alone a group of forty, but that is precisely what UW-Parkside's Communication Department has done. Two upper division communication classes—Senior Seminar with Professor Fay Akindes and Designing Conflict Intervention with Professor Mary Waid—have found both inspiration and infinite opportunities for reciprocal learning in Taylor Home. Tay lor Home is Racine' s G ang Diversion Program. The program's goal is to provide at-risk youth with a positive and supportive after-school experience. An attentive staff, safe environment, and activities that foster cooperation and personal growth are just some ot the features that make Taylor Home such an invaluable program. Taylor Home is an especially groundbreaking program, as it not only works with its young members, but with their families as well. They provide parents, siblings, and other family members with a great many services, such as counseling and transportation to and from job interviews and doctor's appointments. The program seeks to strengthen not only die individual member, but the member's support system as well. The idea of expansive inclusion in the addressing of this social issue is characteristic not only of the program's innovativeness, but also of the staff's genuine compassion and commitment to the youth they work with. By Tracy Medek Isaac Taylor founded Taylor Home as an orphanage in 1867. Taylor had grown up in an orphanage in Whales, and found the facility cold and bleak. He believed in the potential to create a warm and welcoming environment for orphans, and the advent of Taylor Home did Wisconsin abolished orphanages in 1955, so the facility became a residential treatment facility to serve "Incorrigible youth," (i.e.: runaways, children from dysfunctional homes). Five years later, the original facility was torn down, and a cluster of red brick cottages was built in its place to further the I As of now, half of the I alternative schooling for the Racine Unified School District, and the other half is devoted to Taylor Home's Gang Diversion Program. The program is available to students ages 6-1.7 who have been referred there based on family dysfunction or behavioral problems. A typical day at Taylor Home begins with half an hour for recreation in the gym. This is followed by a small meal provided by Taylor Home. For many of the members, this is the only meal they will receive that evening. The members are then given whatever assistance they may need with their homework. Finally, the evening concludes with a group workshop. One of the most recent workshop topics was diversity. The corresponding activity involved the members working together to bake a marble cake—a hands-on illustration of the blending together of different races. Another activity was a scavenger hunt, aimed at enhancing cooperative teamwork. Greater comprehension of social issues and improved interpersonal communication and conflict resolution are two of the primary objectives of Taylor Home. The program "s creative approach and compassionate spirit give the kids who come through their doors a second chance. It is certainly a program worth fighting for. W The two participating Communication classes are devoting their time and energy, as well as the insight they have cultivated through the Communication Major, in order to ensure the program's continued survival and to provide the program's gifted counselors with further ideas for conflict resolution. The sixteen members of the Designing Conflict Intervention course have made several visits to Taylor Home to gather field notes. The students then used the notes to help them generate ideas as to what group work strategies and interpersonal intervention tactics might prove beneficial to the Taylor Home counselors. The class presented those ideas to the counselors during their final visit. Senior Seminar's focus is the program's financial struggles. Taylor Home has recently lost $30,000 in funding, a portion that was previously covered by the City of Racine's Community Development Block Grant. Due to this drastic budget cut, the facility is unable to provide the same caliber of service. The food budget has suffered dramatically, as has the program's staffing. Likewise, Taylor Home is unable to replace their worn out recreation equipment or update their library's collection. The Seminar class is working to raise money and awareness for the Taylor Home. They are currently selling raffle tickets in an effort to raise funds. Senior Seminar has also visited Taylor Home several times to interact with the children and to get a better sense of where their particular needs lie. The class will visit the facility one final time to present them with a check, as well as with some much-needed recreational and educational items. Senior Seminar and Designing Conflict Intervention have found more than a mere site for a class project in Taylor Home. They have found friends in the children, faith in the power of activism, and confidence in the skills they have developed through the communication major.

The national championships took place April 23-24 and included teams from ail over the nation. Parkside started the tournament with a win over Eastern Michigan. Then they suffered a lost to Southern University. Then they went on to beat The University of Central Florida before losing to the tournament's runner up Arkansas State University. The team's most exciting win was over The University of Central Florida when Larae Wood hit the game winning shot with less than 3 seconds left West Virginia ended up winning the National Championship. Intramurals sent a team of eight including: Joseph Clayton, Allen Colburn, Joe Daniels, Courtney Ferguson, Michael Lui, Steven Nebel, Larae Norwood, and Willis Wray. Page 7 The Ranger News May 7, 2004 HEALTH & By Emily Rasbornik What is, overall, safer for your body: alcohol or marijuana? The h ealth impact of any drug depends on how it's used, who's using it, how much is used, and under what circumstances. Comparing them directly is difficult — each possesses the potential for unique risks or benefits. People using marijuana or alcohol to get high or drunk are more likely to experience the better-known negative consequences of these drugs. Alcohol use may contribute to liver disease, heart disease, peptic ulcers, and physical dependency. Marijuana use may contribute to problems thinking clearly, memory loss, dependency, and (if smoked) smoking-related health problems, such as throat and lung cancer and respiratory problems. Furthermore, both alcohol and marijuana are thought to contribute to mental health problems, such as depression and anxiety. Marijuana and alcohol have both been shown to significantly reduce reaction time and motor coordination, two skills that are essential to safely operate a motor vehicle. In general, being drunk or high compromises sound judgment and may lead to unhealthy or risky decisions that you wouldn't make when sober.

SPACE IS LIMITED SKY KNIGHTS EAST TROY 1-800-ET-CHUTE 25 MINUTES FROM MILWAUKEE Does the use of marijuana affect a person's sexual performance? Whether it's sex, socializing, or skydiving, marijuana's affect on performance can vary. Pot is in a drug class by itself — neither considered a stimulant, nor a depressant, because its effects are in large part determined by the expectations of its users. By the same token, marijuana, alcohol, and other drugs can also amplify one's pre-existing personality traits: paranoia; fearfulness; gregariousness; anxiety; aggressiveness, etc. And, these factors don't jump out the window when you jump into bed. You a nd your partner can probably get more specific answers for yourselves by discussing and examining marijuana's role in your sex life: is it an innocuous side-bar, used every now and then (legal considerations aside), or is it a third participant on which you depend? For some, sex itself is an anxiety-producing proposition, so they use pot to relax. Others might use weed with the mission of heightening sensitivity. Keeping in mind the powerful role that your mind plays in the action of pot and other drugs, the calming down and turning on goals can also be reached without bringing drugs into the bedroom. There is a possibility that any drug can become a crutch for behaviors, sex included, that people find uncomfortable. For some, these crutches turn into necessary aids, resulting in unhealthy use and abuse. One last note: long-term use of marijuana does seem to affect reproductive health. Marijuana has an effect on testosterone production and other hormones, which in turn can affect fertility, erectile dysfunction, menstruation, and other areas. Also, heavy, long-term marijuana use can either cause or contribute to low motivation and sex drive. Unfortunately, this is not usually one of the items on any pot smoker's wish list.

Page 8 The Ranger News The American Democracy Project By Kara J. Smith There is a phenomenon overcoming University campuses around the country. It comes in, engages students, and promotes civic engagement, something that University campuses have been lacking. This new program has the potential to let our generation become one that is remembered, not for our lacking a sense of community, but one that builds up the community and creates new programs to better it. This program will give our generation the boost it needs to come out of the university system with more than a piece of paper, it will give us a more well rounded understanding of what is really going on in the world around us. This program will make us into the people we should want to be as our generation steps up to take over this country and as we set it up for future generations when it is there turn. This program is the American Democracy Project. At the beginning of the semester I had the joy of getting involved in this new program led byfaculty7 and students alike. Many people around the campus that you see everyday are working to get this program set up and into practice. These people include administrators, heads of departments, faculty, and students. They all work together as equals and everyone's ideas are of value and incorporated into what will be our eventual result. At the beginning of the semester we kicked this project off by getting together and brainstorming ideas. Out of this brainstorming parly, we formed groups to accomplish these ideas. The groups we ended up with are: Promoting the Common Good, Examining Expectation, Voices of Students, Global Community, 100% Voter Registration and Education, Interactive Communication for UW-Parksidc and Beyond, and Civic Engagement in the Curriculum. Each group had meetings throughout the semester separately to work out how they wanted to go about accomplishing their goal and what they were going to do to reach their goal. We recently got back together as a group and reported what vve had been working on all semester. Of these, I think, there are two that would very much interest the students at this university: Voices of Students and 100% Voter Registration and Education. Voices of Students is looking to make sure that the students are heard and have a voice. Of their many ideas and great ways to help students, I t hought the best was providing a place where students can share their ideas and thoughts. I thought this was an idea that the student body would embrace and could really use. They also said that PSGA is working toward the same goal. There will hopefully be much collaboration and great student work to see this amazing proposal for the students become a reaiitv. The other group, I thought, would affect students because the voter group is going to try to reach out in any way that they can. Their dream is to make sure that you have every opportunity to learn about the issues, iearn about the candidates and also vole. This will be a campaign that will never end; it will not just be when a big election rolls around, but a constant campaign. 1'his group would like to also create a place on campus that provides you with access to information on candidates and issues. One of the greatest things about this group is that they are doing this for you and they will be hosting Rock the Vote social parties and raffles where all you have to do to enter is be a registered voter. You will see this campaign really lake off next semester. There arc other groups also working on similar ideas and this group would like to work in conjunction with them in any way possible. These are just a few of the things that this project as a whole is looking to do for students, but it is mainly there to help them in everyway possible to be more civic minded and engaged. This project can be a great tool on this campus. I hope that all will benefit fully from the work that these great people arc doing, Chancellor's Pancake Breakfast Musical Entertainment by Hedgehog r onen to all students Take a break from exams (reef f t««* freel WeMU pancakes • • • Sausage Links • • • •' Scraped Eggs^ Breakfast Breads' . juice • • Coffee • *§§§1 • * Hondas, Mav10,2004 10:00 m-WididoM @ parkslde Cafe With; specia il guests servii Wihe food and beverages.'

Page 10 The Ranger News The Ben Kweller Interview By: Katie Dylewski Okay. I'm sure there are quite a few [people out there in IParkside land who have heard me go on id on and on about this guy. Well, here go again. To those of you who I haven't gotten to yet, I'd like to introduce you to Mr. Ben Kweller. I'll keep it short, I promise. I've written and rewritten this article about 50 million times, so I'm going to just come out with what I've been trying to find a fancy way to say: Ben Kweller is amazing. Trying to describe him is hard, but his music is often categorized as guitar/piano poppy-folk-rock. If I tried to stand apart all the other reviewers and not praise his work like crazy - I'd be a big fat liar. He's one of only a handful of people born after 1970 who is worthy of a musical genius title. His music is constantly evolving and consistently awesome. It's also safe to say that Mr. Kweller put on one of the best live shows I've ever witnessed. Realizing that I'll never see any rock greats (in their prime anyway) perform live, I'm content because I've seen Ben. To be honest, Ben Kweller doesn't need me, or any advertisement, to convince people that his music is worth buying. Fans of his music continue to spread the word because as amazing as he is, he is still unknown and unheard by far too many people. Ok, basic points covered. I had the opportunity to speak with Ben, via telephone, a few weeks before the release of his newest record, 'On My Way'. I trie d my best to contain all urges to blurt out the only phrases that came to mind, such as '"Holy sh*t! You re Ben Kweller", "You're sooooo awesome", and "How does it feel to be sooo awesome". It was hard, but I managed to keep composure and stick to a laundry list of questions. I picked a few to stick in here, in a topic/quote format: Inspiration for recording this album live: Ben Kweller: Just like my love for sixties music." Favorite song to play off the new album: Ben Kweller: I l ove to play 'I Need You Back' and 'On My Way'. The new record has received extremely good reviews, many coining him "the next Bob Dylan". Album Review: Sufjan Stevens — Seven Swans By Aaron Wensel Sufjan Stevens latest album Seven Swans follows in the wake of the success of last year's Greetings from Michigan. This ambitious introspective indie folk singer-songwriter plans to release an album for each of the fifty states, beginning with his home state of Michigan. Seven Swans conveys his loving relationship with God calmly and honestly. In an interview with Uncut magazine out of Britain, they asked him why his God seems vengeful in his songs. To this he laughed and replied, "Oh no. There's no element of revenge in the character of God, but there's definitely an aggressive joy. He's not chasing you like a stalker, he's chasing you like a lover chases you. There's a lot of aggression in that kind of romance. We pursue things out of reverence, out of our need to worship." The liree most powerful songs; Abraham, Seven Swans, and The Transfiguration; seem like bible stories set to musical melody. Steven's tender vocal delivery and subtle plucking on both banjo and guitar echo Nick Drake and Elliott Smith. Stevens sings, "if I'm alive again this time next yean" but unlike Drake and Smith, Stevens seems to have found strength in God. The next song on the album declares, 'T have found a lot of life in you, and I think that dress looks nice on you." Sufjan Stevens love for life and faith could uplift even the most downtrodden, hopeless people. Sufjan sings, "I'd swim across Lake Michigan, to be alone with you," and his words have come across and touched me deeply. This album possesses the intimacy of Elliott Smith, where you can hear the squeaks on the strings as he slides up and down his guitar. This is a very warm, heartfelt album that could give you a new outlook on life. ST Ben Kweller: Well Bob Dylan - that's just over the top. I l ove Bob Dylan and like Neil Young. The thing about those two, they've always made the records they want to and spoken straight from their hearts. I think that's a big reason why they're around today. It's definitely an honor to be spoken about in the same light." Ben was recently married — to Lizzy! ('Sha Sha' featured a song titled 'Lizzy'). They are both 22 years old. Ben Kweller: Yeah, like, it's so old school. 1 was thinking about it, and it's like my grandfather got married when he was 22. People don't get married young anymore. My grandparents were together for so long. It's kind of like, 1 feel like it's back during WWII when the husband is going off to war and like, that's what I'm about to do [tour]. She can fly out to meet me as opposed to getting letters from overseas, (laughs) It's a little better. And plus, I don't have to worry about anyone trying to shoot me. Well - F*ck. You never know. I h ope not." Needless to say, the new album is amazing and you just need to hear it for yourself. Ben is currently on a co-headlining tour with Death Cab For Cutie, playing a total of eight sold-out shows in the month of April alone. He was in Chicago on both April 15 and 16 (sold out) at the Vic Theatre. ( A little known fact: The tour was booked a stop at UW-Parkside for March 26, but things weren't worked out with the sponsoring club in time, so his management re-booked him for Milwaukee show that night instead. Grr. No hard feelings though.) You could have seen Ben for free on Conan O'Brien on April 14. He will be on Last Call With Carson Daly (airing in May). He's also completed a video for "The Rules," and will be on MTV2, for those of you lucky ducks with digital cable. That's about all I can fit in, so go buy his album (and 'Sha Sha' too) and I'll do my best to leave Ben out of conversations for at least little while. Maybe a day or so. Page 11 The Ranger News May 7, 2004 Interview with EI Oso By George C. Drury This week, I would like to introduce you to a Milwaukee band that has been making quite a buzz. El Oso a quintet made up of Jim Hanke (guitar and vocals), Jeff Grabowski (keys and electronics), Mark Mendygral (guitar), Lee Gianou (bass), and Andy Hartzell (drums and percussion). The band arose from the ashes of several Milwaukee and Racine area bands including: Twinstar Mariner, Radio Tokyo, A Hero's Trial, and Red Letter Days. I interviewed lead' singer and guitarist, Jim Hanke, because after havingseen them several times and meeting with the band on a couple of occasions I felt that they deserved to get a little attention. Since their first show as a whole band back on January 31 2004 they have grown together as a cohesive unit. So after you meet Jim here ' on this page, check out the website at www.eloso.net, or try to catch one of the upcoming shows. If they catch your interest, pick up one of the FREE two song samplers they have available or download the songs for free from their website. When and how did El Oso form? Jim Hanke: Around April of last year, my band Twinstar needed some promo photos of us taken to send out with our album for clubs and what have you. A few friends of mine recommended this guy Andy Hartzell and I knew his name from his previous band Radio Tokyo, but I ha dn't ever really talked with him. So 1 got in to uch and we did the pictures, but Twinstar split up soon after that. I still wanted to continue playing music, but I wanted to focus more on slower stuff at the time, maybe with a lot of piano, so I was telling a few friends what had happened and they said, "You know, Andy is really looking to get back into playing in a band again. Maybe you guys should talk." Andy and 1 got together again and we were really on the same page of what kind of music we both wanted to do next. We hooked up with Jeff through an ad we placed and around October of last year we recorded four songs and gave them out as a demo to people who were interested in playing bass or lead guitar. Soon after that, Mark tried out and we snatched him up almost immediately and then Lee came over and when the five of us played together, it felt really solid and perfect, so that was it. We played our first show in January of this year. How would you describe the style of music you play? Jim: I think that there are elements of several genres, but it all fits under the umbrella of indie-pop. What bands do you feel your sound is similar to? Jim: I think if people wanted a general idea of what we sounded like, but hadn't heard us yet, 1 would say a few bands we're similar to would be Appleseed Cast, The Good Life, Death Cab for Cutie or Elliott. What inspired you to start playing music? Jim: f ca n't speak for the rest of the guys, but around freshman year of high school I just became so enthralled with music in general that I cou ldn't stand on the side anymore and simply listen. 1 got a beat-up acoustic guitar from my folks but I didn't know much about maintenance or whatever, so I couldn't change strings at all. Whenever I broke a string, I just tried to write a song with five or four strings or whatever was left. Since every thing can be inspirational, what things (music, art, literature, etc.) influence your music? Jim: Our song "Rifle In The Tower" is influenced by the Chuck Palahniuk novel "Lullabye", which is about a newspaper reporter who learns an African culling song that can kill people just by thinking it. Sooner or later it just becomes a part of his daily memory, like his phone number or whatever and he becomes a serial killer simply because this song or poem keeps coming back in hi s head. I'm just a big fan of scenarios or scenes in general, so I kin d of try to imagine a certain thing someone may be experiencing and then writing from either the complete opposite aspect or maybe writing from both sides. I know that my reasons for picking up the guitar are about the same as yours, but there were also some defining moments in my musical life that El Oso (from left to right): Andy Hartzell, Jim Hanke, Mark Mendygral, Lee Gianou, and Jeff Grabowski. Photo by Nicole Tappa solidified that desire. Was there a specific band or song that triggered that feeling or was it really just music as a whole? Jim: A radio station in Madison, WORT, pretty much turned me on to lots of different bands and probably is most responsible for informing me of the diversity of music. It didn't come through all that clear on my radio, but during my freshman year of high school, WORT was playing all these bands that were completely new to me (Red House Painters, Superchunk, My Bloody Valentine, Buffalo Tom, lots more). I dis covered that radio, music, everything went beyond the garbage what was dominating the airwaves (Candlebox, The Offspring, etc.). 1 think that station, at least, gave me a starting point. Palahniuk is one of my favorite writers and after listening to "Rifle" again, I can definitely hear the influence of Lullaby in the lyrics. Are there any other writers or poets whose grasp of the written word you feel has had a definite impact on your life? Jim: Not really. I do think that novels, poems and stuff are getting a little more forgotten with every generation, so I guess I'd encourage people to read those things more often. There's a line in a Wilco song that goes "I wonder why we listen to poets when nobody gives a f*ck," which is sad but really true. I'm totally guilty of just reading magazine articles or whatever though, so I can't really talk, but you just have to find something that interests you. As far as musicians, I'm extremely fond of very wordy writers who don't often repeat lines. Someone who can tell a story with lots of verbage or whatever and set a mood is far more interesting to me than some angry political song or whatever. I guess Elvis Costello or Colin Meloy; if I had to name anybody, do that the best in my book. 1 think that one of the most powerful images in your lyrics is at the beginning of Mt. Iceberg, the lines about the cabin being built from "grandpa's bones." Where did an image like that come from? Jim: I do n't know, really. It sounds like a cop out, but I have no idea where some of the stuff comes from anymore. When Twinstar split up, f real ly wanted to write songs that were more story-like, so "Mt. Iceberg" is one of those. It takes place in Denmark late at night in the 19th century, so I guess I just went with the "grandpa's bones" line because you can picture a cabin at that time being darkly lit and really creaky. "Buty It & Smile," the song we usually end our shows with, is about twin brothers whose father died in Vietnam the day they were born. One brother ends up being more successful than the other but he has lungs half the size as his twin. One night when they're staying over at their mother's house, there's a fire that kills the rich brother and the less successful brother is accused of arson. I mea n that's something that's totally drawn up because I'm an only child, but I definitely think there's some grit to the story. I admit that sometimes songs you can relate to mean a lot more, but some of the best stories are 100% pure fiction, f gue ss, personally, I'm just more interested in th at sort of writing these days. There may be a line or something that I throw in th at may be a little more personal, but if someone were to tell me that they thought the lyrics were really character-driven, I'd take it as a compliment. I don't know... I'm sure there's no possible way I can talk about this stuff without sounding like a complete jackass. Page 12 The Ranger News May 7, 2004 Movie Reviews Dawn of the Dead |: By Jim Burzelic f love i t Zombies, malls, shotguns, and more zombies... alright that's not ALL there is to the movie. Dawn of the Dead is a remake of die original 1978 version, about a group of people dying to survive a zombie holocaust by hol ing up in a mall. Directed by first-timer Zach Snyder, it is a roller coaster of frenzy-paced action and slow breaks to let the audience catch its breath before being plunged back into the nightmare. Sarah Polley (Go, eXistenZ) plays Ana, the main character that we follow throughout the movie, who wakes up to see her husband die and come back right in their bedroom. As she flees her no-longer safe home she discovers that overnight the world has been transformed by the dead rising up and devouring the living creating more dead that rise up and continue the cycle. Ana first meets Kenneth, played by Ving Rhames (Mission Impossible, Pulp Fiction), who is an ex-marine police officer. They then meet up with the others and decide to hole up in the local mall and wait for rescue. There they deal with a slew of problems from unwelcoming security guards to power supply problems to-anxiety from isolation. This movie is excellent—the opening sequence alone made me an instant fan. Eveiy element of the film came together. For example, the music is not only well-placed, but the choices have special qualities such as Johnny Cash's "The Man Comes Around" dining the opening sequence of doom around the country or the muzak in the mall playing "Don't Worry Be Happy," juxtaposing die catastrophic events outside. The only element that felt forced is the final escape. The dialogue between Ana and Michael, played by Jake Weber, is a bit schmaltzy and out of sync with the rest of the film. On my scale of 1 to 10, I'd give Dawn of the Dead a 9. I'm going to wear this one out once it comes out on DVD. What is a Desert island Album? It is the album that you would risk your life saving in a lire. They are albums that never get tiresome, even after that 78th listen. They are the albums that you have to have if you were ever stranded on a desert island. Of course, you would also need some sort of listening device. J By Preston Brown If I were stuck on a deseit island with only one album to listen to, I would have to choose Radiohcad's fourth effort Kid A. Now I know thai somepeople aren't into the more electronic sounds that the band's later work is best known for but neither am I, and that's the beauty of it. This album is not just an electronic experiment, or a vanity project that allows the artists to waste our time with their personal growth, it's an album that has been stripped dow n to the bare essentials. Kid A tears down all the studio masks, and leaves it's listeners with a raw, bells and whistles free album. Melody is the main character of this album, and with few roadblocks to it, we get a clear sense of its presence. The songs are simplistic and rhythmic, and through the flow of the album, give the listener an appreciation for minimalism. If things are stripped down, then everything that is exposed has to be perfect. The electronic noises in this album arc not window dressing, as is usually the case with such projects. Rather, it's an opportunity for the artists to learn different instruments. Man on Fire by Jim Burzelic Denzel Washington (Training Day, Out of Time) stars as Creasy, an ex-military assassin who lost his job because of a drinking problem. He goes to Mexico and gets a job protecting Pita, played by Dakota Fanning (Taken, The Cat in the Hat), the daughter of Samuel Ramos, played by Marc Anthony (Carlito's Way, Bringing Out the Dead). Pita is kidnapped and the dealings go wrong. After he recovers from his wounds, Creasy seeks vengeance on everyone involved. Man on Fire is a remake of the original 1987 novel adaptation. Overall, I enjoyed this movie. I thou ght the acting was well done and the cinematography was kinetic and stylized. The script was realistic and believable. The basic themes of revenge and redemption are explored as Creasy wades through the ranks of La Hermandad, a crime organization. The only real problems with the movie were that the whole set-up took a very long time. Also, some of plot twists and shifts were forced, and because there were so many of these shifts, the climax was robbed of some of its impact. But what it lost with these elements, it made up for with gritty revenge scenes, it seemed more like the plot was just a complex excuse to get Creasy "to do his thing." Man on Fire gets a 6 out of 10; what it lacks in polish, it makes up for hi effort and attitude. Hellboy By Jim Burzelic I am a fan of movies. I am also a fan of comic books. The combination of the two is a very exciting and volatile subject. One of the neatest things is seeing your favorite heroes brought to life, hearing their voices, and watching them move around as real people. But as with any franchise, when you transfer one medium to another, you risk losing the original audience because of discrepancies between the two stories. Comic book fans seem to be even more critical of these changes than other fanbases. It's tantamount to messing with someone's car. Sure, maybe it'll be better than before, but then again maybe not. Hellboy is an example of this. I myself am a big fan of die comic book on which the film is based, so 1 approached this movie with apprehension. As a movie Hellboy not only had to prove itself to me all over again, but it had an uphill battle. Well, it won me over. I enjoyed it. Hellboy is a movie about a demon that is summoned by Rasputin with help from the Nazis. Before they can get their evil hands on the new-born, the Americans show up and send them running for the hills. Named by an off-the-cuff remark from the paranormal expert, the demon is given the name Hellboy and raised by the US government in secret. He belongs to an equally secret organization that hunts down all manner of nasty beasts from mythology and nightmare. Sixty years after the initial event, the Nazis return and start causing a ruckus that Hellboy is called on to put down. Directed by Guillermo Del Toro (Blade II, Mimic) and starring Ron Perlman (Blade II, Titan A.E.), the movie is a fun, paranormal action/ adventure with cheesy one-liners, good and bad CGI and, like any good pulp story, Nazis. The themes it explores are exploration of the self, freewill overcoming predestination, and like the other comic book movies, acknowledgement and acceptance of diversity. Hellboy manages to cover all of these without becoming too schmaltzy and ruining the fun. Overall, it's not the greatest movie ever but it is at the higher end of average. I wish there was more to say, but an average movie doesn't offer much to critique. I'd say it gets about a 6 out of 10. Page 13 The Ranger News May 7, 2004 The Punisher Kill Bill vol. 2 By Jim Burzelic Starring Uma Thurman (Paycheck, Pulp Fiction), David Carradine (Kung-fu), Michael Madsen (Reservoir Dogs, Species), and Daryi Hannah (Roxanne, Grumpy Old Men), Kill Bill vol. 2 follows the Bride (Thurman) as she continues to exact her revenge on her former assassin teammates and ultimately kill their leader. Bill (Carradine). While not as violent in quantity as the first it definitely makes up for it in quality with snake bites, incapacitating shotgun blasts, living burials, and an assortment of other torturous cruelties that are doled out between the characters. . . , This much anticipated second half of Quentin Tarantino s Kung-fu-Grind-house homage does what a good sequel should do: stand on its own yet also continue the predecessor's original story. Granted, since the two volumes were originally written to be one movie, the second goal had been accomplished prior to filming. With this in mind, it is strange how dissimilar in style the two are. The first was a kili-a-minute, fight-filled bloodbath with little discourse of plot and character development, while the second is more akin to the westerns, and samurai movies that inspired them, with their slow rises and flashes of action punctuating the story7 and character conflicts. One wouldn't expect these two styles to be in the same story arc but Tarantino pulls it off like a gourmet chef serving opposite courses that ultimately compliment each other. So if you've seen the first one, don't be expecting a repeat performance; this one is not a repeat. That said, the fact that it goes in a completely different direction is what allows it to stand on its own. You are given a recap at the beginning and a few references are made to it throughout, but overall those references aren't integral to understanding what is going on, so it fulfills the first goal of a sequel. It does have a few drawbacks though; there are quite a few obvious continuity errors. They are so blatant that I th ought maybe they were inserted on purpose, but these aren't really highlighted, so I m not sure if I'm seeing sloppy filmmaking or sneaky little gags in reference to older movies with similar eirors. So on one hand the storytelling is remarkably smart and conscious of its inspirations, and on the other hand some glaring continuity flaws break some of the suspension of disbelief. The balance equals out to about an eight out of ten. Did You Know...

By Jim Burzelic Directed by Jonathan Hensleigh (The Saint, Jumanji) and starring Thomas Jane (Deep Blue Sea, Dreamcatcher), Rebecca Romijn-Stamos (X-Men, Godsend), and John Travolta (Swordfish, Basic). Frank Castle is a secret agent who has just retired to a desk job and is looking forward to spending time with his family. Unfortunately, Howard Saint's son was accidentally killed in Castle's last mission so, being the crime family they are, the Saints' kill off the entire Castle lineage. Thinking Frank Castle dead, they went back to their lives. Castle survived though and returns to Tampa Bay not to exact revenge, because he considers his old self dead, but to punish the guilty as the Punisher. To put it bluntly. The Punisher is punishment. Punishment for the audience. Punishment for the actors. Punishment for the franchise. Punishment for the projector that had to show it. No one escaped. It's really sad actually because all it really had to do was deliver bloody, violent action and get the audience to the next fight scene as quickly as possible. Instead it tries to be smart and needlessly utilizes a religious theme that it only sloppily mentions once in a while. The actors all show signs that they are really good but the script they were given was just awful, and the final punishment is ruined by a silly skull. However, if you are looking to laugh at the absurdities of a bad movie, then The Punisher will deliver. This one a 3 out of 10. SMART SAVINGS!

That's your only Revenge of the Black Mamba: An Allegory Written By Bill J, Turner Edited By Tess Tobon Chapter VI of VI The rookie screamed, "Sarge, Sarge, help me, do something, get him off me! Make it let go!" Sarge took two steps toward the bag, as he drew his service revolver and emptied it into the snake and the backpack. The snake let go of the rookie's wrist, and Sarge pulled the young rookie over to the squad and called 911. He called dispatch for backup. Meanwhile, the Black Mamba crawled out of the pack and was moving slowly towards the weeds. Malcolm was now in disbelief, hi plans and hopes for the future dashed.

Let's face it — People driving behind you need to know that you question reality and want to the police not taking him to the zoo?" he thought. "Where is the snake? Why did they let that magnificent specimen of a creature get out of the backpack?" Backup arrived and the patrol Sergeant quickly took stock of the situation and took charge. "Sarge, get rid of that ole snake. Throw that dead carcass over in the weeds." As the backup police suggested, Sarge took a step or two over where the seemingly dead snake lay in the grass, where it had crawled after Sarge fired six rounds into its dark green avocado colored body, while it was still in th e pack. Sarge reached down, thinking the snake was fully dead, grabbed it by the midsection— as he was about to fling it over into the high grass, the Mamba's head turned quickly and struck him on the forearm. It dug its teeth into Sarge's arm, releasing a deadly amount of venom directly into his bloodstream. He screamed with alarm and pain. He was a goner and he knew it. The Sarge staggered and fell to his knees as if shot in the back. Within seconds his eyes glazed over and with agonizing pain, his life paraded before his eyes, recognizing the many misdeeds that he had perpetrated, or had been a part of. He became very weak and fell forward, collapsing in the grass near the bike path crossing Durand Avenue. "Call an ambulance," says backup. "Let's remove these officers from the scene." He turns to the biker, "What the hell you doin' with a snake like that? You murderer. Cuff him and throw him in the back of the wagon." As the handcuffs were placed on Malcolm's wrists, his head was swirling. He was weak at the knees, nauseous, and felt faint. He couldn't figure out what was happening; where was the herpetologist? What were they thinking? Did they not know of the potential danger to the entire community near the bike path and the horse farm? "Come on bub, duck your head. Duck your head and sit down. Call it in," the officer says to his partner. "Dispatch, squad twenty-two calling, do you read me? Two officers down, snake bite, presumed dead. Offender apprehended, bringing him in." As the squad car pulled away, hauling the student biker to jail, dispirited and almost in a state of shock, he thought back to the beginning of this disastrous afternoon. Now as the dying Black Mamba lay there in the grass, thirteen hatchling snakes slithered around in a ground hog burrow. They would soon be out foraging for food on their own, growing to maturity and eventually seeking mates—expanding their population far beyond the horse farm.
