You are learning the same things as college students years older than you, but you, unlike they, do not automati-cally get college credit for your pass-ing “A”. You must take a final, strenuous, grueling exam at the end of the year cov-ering specific tidbits of information you may have learned sometime during the last nine months.

This instance describes the circum-stances associated with acquiring col-lege credit by passing the AP exam.

“One or two pass [the AP exam] and get the college credit,” said O’Dee Hans-en. “Ninety percent just get high school credit.” Hansen believes that AP classes are among the hardest our high school offers.ffff

NS offers AP Science and AP Biolffff -ogy, taught by Kevin Allen and Brad Bentley. NS has recently faced some dif-ffficulty in convincing students to take AP classes.

“I think the biggest challenge of teaching an AP course is getting stu-dents to take the class,” said Bentley. Students face the choice of taking an AP course from a high school teacher orenrolling in a broadcast college course, where students have the opportunity to earn college credit for a passing grade.

Concurrent enrollment has caught the attention of many students, and has begun to replace other high school classes in their schedules. But are col-lege classes really a good choice for high school students?

“It’s a good way to get ahead,” said Lau-rel Bailey, senior from Ft. Green. Bai-ley believes that by taking concurrent enrollment classes she is getting a head start on her college transcript. Bailey is

not the only one to believe that college classes are a positive idea.

“[Concurrent enrollment] preparesyou for the future,” said Haley Ence, se-nior from Fairview.

Location: dark room. Weapon: 35 mm. Target, lock and get a good shot. Photography is the mod-ern obsession. Everywhere you go you see cameras. They are on peoples’ phones, somecarry digital cameras with them all over the place. The question now is, do we know how to take quality pictures?

Art teacher Paul Allred, and Nan Ault have put to-gether a photography club in hopes of teaching stu-dents about another exten-sion of the artistic world.

Their goal is to edu-cate students in using a 35 mm camera, controlling F-Stops/Apertures/shutter speeds/ISO, processing 35 mm black and white film, using photo chemicals cor-rectly, and processing neg-ative film into a positive print, and learning how topresent the prints for art shows, portfolios, and for marketing through matting and framing.

Students are not re-quired to have their own cameras, though thatwould be preferable. Thereare a few cameras that Ault, and Alred cam lend out to members. This equipment comes from their person-al collections, and when acamera is lent out to a stu-dent they expect it to be re-spected, and not returned demolished.

A huge question thatshows up in the minds of students when signing up for a club is, ‘how much will it cost?’

The fee for the club is $10, where as most oth-

Several NS students were some of the first responders to a serious car accident onSeptember 17, after return-ing from a volleyball game in Delta.

The passenger of one of the vehicles was extracted from the vehicle using the “jaws of life.” She was life-flighted to the University of Utah Hospital where she lat-er died.

The accident happened

when a Chevrolet Cava-lier with two women inside crossed the center line and crashed into a Mercury Milan with a family inside. Another car was following closely be-hind and became involved with the initial accident.

Police reports say speed and wet roads were factors of the accident.

A few students from NSH were on scene right after the accident, aiding the civilian EMT already on scene.

Paul Cook, Nathan Aa-

gard and others who also ar-rived on scene were instruct-ed to drive ahead and stop traffic while some students helped out on scene.

“[The accident] was cra-zy,” said Shyanne Ison, a se-nior volleyball player. “I’ve never been on the scene of an accident before.”

Ison was told to hold the head of one of the victims, who was already out of the wrecked car when she ar-rived, and talk to her, keeping her awake.

Brooke Seely, another se-nior volleyball player, used her cell phone to call for help.Seely was told by the EMT to ask for three ambulances.

After the phone call, Seely assisted Ison with the female victim.

Cook, Ben Davis, and Kel-ton Olsen assisted a firefight-er in removing the male vic-tim from the overturned car. The male victim had a bro-ken leg and a possibly hurt

back. The man was taken to the hospital from there.

The son of the male victim had severe inju-ries to the back and neck. The boy had several surgeries to repair those injuries along with others, according to a family friend.

The driver of the Cavalier was walking around after the accident but the passenger was not. She appeared to be unconscious and had several life threatening injuries.

After the victims were taken to the hospi-tal, the students were asked to look around for items belonging to the victims. The stu-dents were able to recover items such as a purse and an I-pod.

This accident has had a different effff ffect on ffffeach of the students.

“I’m not traumatized or anything,” said Cook. “[The accident] hasn’t affected me thatffffmuch.”

For others, such as Seely, the accident has

been a challenge to deal with. Seely has had ahard time sleeping at night because she sees the accident. Seely knows the family, whichhas also contributed to the effect the accident ffffhas had on her.

“It could have been us, we could have madeit worse,” said Ison.

Counselors have already talked to the stu-dents involved, assuring they have the helpthat they need to deal with the incident.

“The people involved did a great job help-ing with accident victims. [I’m] proud of the students for handling themselves in a proper and professional manner,” said Chet Keisel, a counselor at NSH.

Keisel wants students to know that the counseling center is there to help stu-dents who are having a hard time deal-ing with this or any other accident.

“Teenagers think they are invincible,” said Ison. “Life can change in the blink of an eye.”

High school vs. college, continued from page 1

Some students and teach-ers believe that it is no longerworth it to acquire an associ-ate degree at the same time of high school graduation. This is because of the drastic budget cuts that are happen-ing simultaneously, cutting scholarship value.

However, Parker Earl com-pleted the associate program last year and claims that the

money was not his reason for finishing the program.

“I didn’t do it for the schol-arship,” he says, speaking of the New Century Scholar-ship offered to these elite ffffgraduates.

“It gives you a larger knowledge base. You are two years ahead on the job mar-ket and you can focus on ca-reer-based education straight

out of high school.”Thus we see, whichever

course the student chooses to pursue, there are many op-tions available. But one thing all have been able to agree on: earn as much college credit as you can during high school.

This summer, five NS stu-dents got the experience of a lifetime. Michelle Atwood, Carlie Brotherson, Stephen Lewis, Jillian Coombs and Nia Ricks visited Japan.

The 11-hour plane ride that most people would find torturous, was very exciting for these students. Each seat in the plane had its own per-sonal T.V. with a wide vari-ety of newly released movies and T.V. shows to watch. Not only did they have entertain-ment for their eyes, but for their ears as well. There were many popular songs to lis-ten to. Nia Ricks of Fairview said that the movies and mu-sic made the plane ride more fun and made the time go by quickly.

While in Japan the NS group met up with two other high school groups from Cal-ifornia and Texas.

“They were all very nice and fun people, they were just a bit undisciplined,” saidMichael Ricks, a parent who also was the main instructor of the group.

They were so undisci-plined in fact, that one nightthey snuck out of their room. Somehow their instructors found out and they had to tape their doors from theoutside so they would know if they snuck out again.

Some of the historical sites that the groups were able to see were Hiroshima, the Na-gasaki Bomb Museum, and many shrines and temples.

“Hiroshima was my favor-ite,” said Ricks. It was amaz-

ing and very sad to see what happened to all those inno-cent people.”

Michael Ricks and Ste-phen Lewis said that their favorite was the Nagasaki Bomb Museum.

Most of the Japanese food was seafood and rice. Rickssaid that the food in Japan was very different than what ffffwe are used to in America.

“They had some of the same food in Japan as we do in the U.S., it just has a strange taste to it,” said Ricks.

“The weirdest thing I ate while in Japan was probably fish eggs,” said Lewis.

Despite much controver-sy, President Barrack Obama addressed high schools across the nation on September 8.

He delivered this speech from Wakefield High School in Arlington, Virginia. Dur-ing his speech he emphasized the importance of a good ed-ucation. His message was mostly motivational, and he encouraged students to stay in school.

“If you quit on school- you’re not just quitting on yourself, you’re quitting on your country,” said President Obama.

To help illustrate this he spoke of his own education.His mother home schooled him at four-thirty in themorning.

“Now I wasn’t too happy about getting up that early. A lot of times I’d fall asleep right there at the kitchen ta-ble,” said President Obama. “But whenever I’d complain, my mother would just give me one of those looks and say, ‘This is no picnic for me either, buster.’”

The controversy sur-rounding the speech was based around the fact that the video was delivered dur-ing school. Many parents were worried that this ad-dress would be a repeat of the movie ‘I Pledge.’ This movie was played in Davis Coun-ty schools and was political-ly oriented. The movie was produced by Hollywood and not President Obama, but parents were still afraid that the president would use his

speech to sway the political views of students.

Even Principal Jim Bow-els and Vice Principal Jason Strate sent an email to the teachers and staff before the ffspeech was given. They en-couraged teachers and stu-dents to watch the address.

“Anytime our elected of-ffficials at the highest levels of state or federal government speak directly to schools and school children, we shouldlisten (objectively and with open-minds),” they wrote.

Although many parents were worried, it turns out that many students weren’t particularly interested in what the president had to say. Most students said they fell asleep or they weren’t paying attention to his speech.

This brings up an impor-tant question. If the Presi-dent of the United States takes the time to address stu-dents directly, why don’t the students care?

“Students should feel valued when the presidentspeaks directly to them,” said Jeff Ericksen, a teacher at NS. ff

Ericksen is also on the Com-munity Council in Fairview. “So I get to see it from both sides and as a father and a teacher, I am fine with Presi-dent Obama speaking to the students. He is just continu-ing the educational tradi-tions of past presidents.”

Other students felt differffff -ently, but were not excited about the message.

“There were some good parts,” said sophomore, Josh Wright from Moroni, “but it’s like the ‘Don’t Do Drugs’ speech: we have heard it all before.”

However not all students were indifferent, some lisffff -tened to the president.

“I feel like he made a good point,” said Casey Lamb, a freshman from Wales. “If you don’t work hard you’ll never accomplish anything.”

Some people were upset that the president spoke dur-ing school.

“He is our president,” said Lamb, “we should give him the opportunity to speak.”

The uncertain economy can be troubling to adults responsible for providing the necessities of life for their loved ones, but less attention is paid to the effects of a sluggish econffff -omy on teenagers.

Budget cuts have not only effected ffffthe breadwinners, but also the pro-spective college students. The New Century Scholarship, which used to guarantee 75 percent of tuition paid for, is now in question.

Many NS students have utilized the opportunity to take extra classes

at the high school’s Ed-net building. By taking these classes many students hope to earn their associate degree. One such student, junior Lincon Ol-mstead of Mount Pleasant, believes the budget cut on the New Century Scholarship to be a very negative oc-currence.

"We're busting our butts being nerds over [at the Ed-net], and they screw us over!” said Olmstead.

He believes that it is unfair to take away the programs funding after all of the work he, and his peers, have done. Olmstead is not alone in this view.

"I thought that I had my associate figured out, so I basically had a plan for the next few years," said Elizabeth Fullmer of Fairview, "and with one phone call about the scholarship be-ing reduced, all that was over."

Fullmer now finds that her col-lege choices are more limited then she had originally thought. She be-lieves that now, since the budget cut, she cannot afford to go to some of the ffffschools she had been planning on at-tending.

Out of the many students who were planning on taking advantage of the New Century Scholarship and

graduating with their associate de-gree, only five are still doing the pro-gram.

Kristi Bird, North Sanpetes' facili-tator, believes that the program was enticing because of the scholarship it offered to students. Now that money ffffis in question, many of the students no longer believe that it is worth the effort. ffff

Many uncertainties are now fac-ing high school students at North Sanpete, but one thing is for certain: some very important decisions lie ahead of students.

ionably,” said Ricks, “and you could fi g nd just about anything in Tokyo.”

Th e students were able to visit the famous Ginza District, wwhich is one of the most crowded places in the world. In To-

y kyo the subways were so crowded during rush hour that they had designated “pushers” who would shove the people in the

train before the doors shut.“We would just laugh the whole time because we were

ycrammed up against people we didn’t even know and they jjust kept staring at us,” said Ricks.

y Overall the experience was educational and fun. Everystudent should try to find and opportunity to travel interna-tionally.

ers require about a $30 fee. The money will go into pho-to chemicals, equipment for students to use in the dark room, and a small amount of paper for printing. The more dedicated of a member a stu-dent is, the more it may cost depending on if they wish

to buy black and white film and extra paper for extensive printing. As fun as photog-raphy may be, there are risks involved.

“With chemicals, we don’t want kids flipping chemicals on each other,” said Alred.

There are chemicals used in the process of printing photographs that if misused, or swallowed will harm our body.

“As long as you’re careful you should be fine,” said Do-minik Kiefer.

Members of the club will learn how to safely work with and how to properly use these chemicals. Learning important safety measures are essential when it comes to participating in this form of visual art.

“I want to create coolio, awesome pictures that are just amazing,” said Sarah Al-lan

In this club students will learn what art is through the lens of a camera. For stu-dents wishing to become art majors participating in this club would be a wise choice. It’s also a good thing for stu-dents who would just want to expand on their creativity.

“I don’t have visual art tal-ent, so I’m hoping that this club will fulfill that,” said Kiefer.

There will be Photography Club meetings after school once or twice a month. Stu-dents will be responsible for transportation home.

BY AY LEXIS FRYERFF

Americans enjoy the privileg-es of living in one of the great-est, most influential countries in the world and enjoy freedoms not granted in many other plac-es. However, what do Americans really know about the events that formed this nation?

We decided to ask several stu-dents questions to find out what they knew about the history and governing of the U.S.

Though we interviewed a range of ages, the responses dif-fffered very little. Questions about important people, events, and documents produced many blank looks and nervous laughs.

What is the Declaration of In-dependence?

“It was this thing that gave us our independence,” said one stu-dent.

“The piece of paper saying how we became a state,” said an-other.

Results were similar when questions were asked about the United States Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

Students could state the ob-vious, but were not aware of the details or the significance of the documents. Many students were generally aware of histori-cal events but were unsure of the specifics. Details such as names and dates easily escape most stu-dents’ memories.

What was the Great Depres-sion?

“When there was no food and no jobs and stuff,” said one sophffff -omore girl. Many people named the Depression’s effects on the ffffpeople, but not the cause nor the overall effects.ffffWho is John Adams?

“Some history guy?” answered one high school senior when asked about a man who great-ly influenced the development of the U.S. government. Is it in-evitable that many high school students will graduate without knowledge of their country’s his-tory, or is there something that can be done?

“Students are just not inter-ested up to this point,” said Tyler Bailey, a history teacher at NS. He did not believe that there was much that could be done about students’ lack of government knowledge before about the age of seventeen.

However, in a recent speech given by President Obama, stu-dents were encouraged to learn as much as possible while in school, so as to be a positive influence on the country later in their lives.

“We are a democracy, and people must know what is go-ing on to be able to participate,” said Amber Hill another history teacher at NS.

Just a few years ago the USOE aimed to improve the awareness of young citizens by beginning to require a Government and Civics class. Bailey felt that the class did a good job of informing students, especially due to a requirement to attend local School Board and City Council meetings.

“Most students are not aware of the decisions our government makes, and this class opens some eyes to what they do,” said Bai-ley.

Hill also points to another reason that students need to be aware of their history.

“We live in that history, those laws, that government. We are a result of the past. You need to know where you’ve been to plan for the future and avoid the same mistakes,” said Hill.

Since the staff of the NS Times ffis truly dedicated to researching ev-ery aspect of each story to the full-est, it became necessary to throw a pizza party. For truly journalisticpurposes, pizzas from the three lo-cal restaurants were purchased andsampled by reporters, editors, and advisor alike to determine the an-swer to the question: Who has the best pizza in town?

At the conclusion of last school year, the only pizza place in town was Cavalier Pizza & Italian Res-taurant. Over the summer, two new places to grab a slice have opened: Main Street Pizza and SubZero.

Cavalier has been open the lon-gest, clocking in at 12 years. Sub-Zero was originally open from Sep-tember of 2003 to December of 2007, then was reopened in July of this year, during the same week that Main Street Pizza opened its doors.

Main Street Pizza resides where Hub City Pizza once did, next door to the Triangle Lounge on Main Street in Mount Pleasant. The menu is printed in large font on the right wall, and the smell of the piz-zas being cooked permeates the air. Though owner Todd McCall says that 90 percent of the business is de-livery, there are two tables in case customers want to eat in the restau-rant.

Main Street Pizza is operated by a staff of 9 employees, whom owner ffTodd McCall says are aptly trained for the job.

“Everybody is trained to make a high-quality pizza,” said McCall.

SubZero sits just off State Street, ffnear the rodeo grounds. Large win-dows offer glimpses of the town ffffaround it, creating a feeling of open-ness. Pictures of polar bears and penguins hang on the walls, keeping in theme with the restaurant’s name. Tables line the walls, with some in the middle as well.

The restaurant, co-owned by Tom Boekweg, is entirely family operat-ed. The 12 employees are comprised of his and his brother’s families, who Boekweg says enjoy working togeth-er.

At Cavalier, the smell of pizza is more prominent than in the oth-er restaurants. Booths against thewalls and four tables alongside them provide ample seating room, with a

“party room” in the back for large groups or reservations. This extra space wasn’t available two years ago, when the restaurant was located inside Terrel’s Thriftway.

Cavalier current-ly employs 31 peo-ple, 17 of which are NS students. Over time, manager Car-rie Morris says the bonds between em-ployees grow.

“Most every one of our employees be-come family,” said Morris.

As far as prices go, a SubZero 14” pizza will cost $14.99, but any and all toppings are free. At Main Street Pizza, the same size pepperoni pizza will cost $9.99. In the mid-range, Cavalier’s 14” pep-peroni will run $12.49, plus tax.

Though pricing may draw in cer-tain customers, the majority of the

diners at these three establishments will ultimately go to the place which they think has the best pizza.

Each restaurant has its own unique rec-ipe for making piz-zas. Cavalier’s rec-ipe has been in use for the 12 years the restaurant has been in business, with no changes, according to Morris.

SubZero uses a special sourdough “start,” created by a local sheepherder 38 years ago, accord-ing to Boekweg.

“It’s a SanpeteSourdough,” said Boekweg.

McCall of Main Street Pizza says his pizzas are made in the style of those en-

joyed in New York, like the ones hemade 10 years ago in his first restau-rant.

So long as human diversity sur-

vives, the pizzas of the populous will reflect this individuality. SubZe-ro offers a “Prospector Pizza,” made ffffwith barbecue sauce and peppers, which Boekweg says is a fairly pop-ular order. McCall, of Main Street Pizza, lists anchovies as one of his more unique toppings, as does Mor-ris, with the addition of artichoke hearts.

Reassuringly, all three manag-ers say they eat their own pizza on a regular basis. Boekweg and his fam-ily eat their pizza exclusively. Mc-Call doesn’t eat his pizza “excessive-ly,” though he says his kids would have him bring a pizza home every night if given the choice. Morris eats in her restaurant twice a week with her family, even though she says sheis “tired, tired, tired of pizza.”

After much deliberation and even more pizza, the NS Times staff votff -ed SubZero as the favorite. Howev-er, this test was by no means unani-mous. Some people will continue to be drawn to Cavalier’s long standing recipe, and others will flock to MainStreet Pizza’s New York slice. In the end, the diners are the real winners.

As you walk through the hallways at NS High you can hear the sound of a certain teacher’s voice echoing off the walls. ff These sounds will lead to the classroom of Mr. Tyler Bai-ley, where you will find studentsboth learning and also laughing.

Bailey has taught at NS for four years now, starting in 2006 when he took over the American History and Government and Civics classes from Mr. Derrick Farr. Both cours-es are required for graduation from NS, but students don’t seem to mind having to take them. On the contrary, many enjoy learning from Bailey.

“I like how intense he is when he speaks,” said Bret Alsop, a junior at North Sanpete High who is cur-rently taking classes from Bailey.

Laural Blackham, a senior, is also one of the many students who has taken courses taught by Bailey. She took both Government and Civics and A.P. History from him last year and really enjoyed the classes.

One of the memorable experi-ences Blackham had in his Govern-ment and Civics class was a poster contest between the different classffff -

es that Bailey does every year. The students were split up into groups to make posters about the branches of government. The best and most creative ones were picked as win-ners and hang on the walls in Bai-ley’s classroom along with winners from previous years.

“He’s awesome!” said Blackham after explaining that Bailey made class fun and was easy to get along with.

Although he is a fun teacher and makes learning enjoyable for many, Bailey takes his job quite serious-

ly and realizes the importance of schooling. He is always willing to give advice and encouragement to his students.

“Make wise decisions because the choices that you are making now are going to take you down life’s path,” he said.

Bailey not only teaches school but currently is a coach for the foot-ball, softball and boys’ basketball teams. The same qualities that make Bailey successful in the classroom also make him a great coach.

“He makes practice fun,” said

Cody Case, a junior on the NS football team. Many players agreed that one thing that they admire about Bailey is that he keeps his cool while coaching.

Bailey’s hobbies echo his lovefor sports. He likes playing most sports and played on the NS foot-ball team for all four years of high school. He also played for the Snow College football team on the offensive line for two years. ffff

Not only does he like playing sports, but he also enjoys being a referee. In fact, Bailey said that if

could have any other job in the world he would choose to be a referee for college basketball.

Students are not the only ones who realize what Bailey contrib-utes to the school. The faculty members also have an apprecia-tion for his many talents.

“He has an amazing gift to helpstudents and coach students,” said Mr. O’Dee Hansen, a counselor at NS.

Bailey is always teaching and coaching others. This is true bothout on the field and in the class-room.

Lady hawks play with intensity to earn 5-1 recordNSH takes action in

hopes for taking

region.

BY PY AULPP COOK

With a record of 5-1, NS Volleyball is off to a great ffstart.

But the Lady Hawks haven’t done it alone, they have had a tremendous amount of support from a crowd of avid volleyball fans.

“They’re awesome and we love the support”, said se-nior volleyball player Talee-na Holgreen of Mt. Pleasant.

With the help of the crowd and their determination, the team has set high goals for the season.

“We want to take state,” said Shelby Earl, outside hit-ter.

And with eight talent-ed seniors, several of which have been playing varsity volleyball since their fresh-men year, state is a definite possibility.

But they realize it won’t be easy and the team still has a few kinks to work out if they want to achieve these goals.

“One of our weaknesses is that we play down to the level of the other team,” said Holgreen.

“She tells us that if we don’t win she’s going to kick us in the knees,” said Jace-

lyn Sorenson, junior of Mt. Pleasnt, “And that really en-courages us.”

Another source of moti-vation for the Lady Hawks is senior setter, Kara Anderson, who team members say is a great leader that always helps out, and keeps the team go-ing.

“She’s our quarterback,” said Stewart, “She leads the

offense and is involved in evffff -ery play.”

According to Stewart, one of the Lady Hawks biggest strengths is that they don’t have one go-to player. The team is strong in every area of the game.

That teamwork led the Lady Hawks to their first vic-tory of the season. The Di-no’s put up a fight but after

four games the Hawks leftCarbon with a victory for the first time in years.

Two home matches fol-lowed, the first against the Wasatch Wasps who were easily defeated in just three games.

Next came the first region game of the season against Emery who the Lady Hawks also swept.

Two days later in Del-ta, the Volleyball team had its toughest game yet. Af-ffter playing four games the Hawks and the Rabbits were tied at two games a piece.

After several points were played the score was tied at fourteen. But the Lady Hawks played through the pressure and scored two con-secutive points to win the

match.The next week the Lady

Hawks faced the Juab Wasps, who fell in just three short games.

Despite Lady Hawk ef-ffforts last Thursday, the game ended in loss against the Richfield Wild Cats.

The Hawks lost in three games, but they fought it outuntil the very bitter end.

Kody Kleven, the top runner on the NS cross country team, begins her day not with a long, exhilarating jog or a circuit in the weight room, but rather a healthy breakfast. Schooldays may be slow, but once the clock hits three thir-ty, Kleven is ready to run.

“I enjoy running because it’s fun,” said Kleven. “It’s kind of weird, I like the excitement and movement of my body. It’s painful, but it’s fun too. It’s hard to explain.”

Kleven played soccer for three years before deciding this past summer to join the cross country team. She feels like she is doing better in cross coun-try even though she misses soccer very much. She had a hard time quitting her senior year, but so far it has been worth it.

Kleven is not outspoken about her achievements in cross country this sea-son.

“She goes about quietly being the best,” said Coach Scott Butler.

While running, Kleven often has a song going through her head. But while racing, she thinks of her next move. In two of her races this year, Soldier Hol-low and Richfield, Kleven has come in first place. Her favorite race was Soldier Hollow.

“It was challenging and exciting,” Kleven said.

Kleven likes the fact that in cross country you have to be extremely deter-mined. She loves competing and get-ting better. She also loves her team.

“They are all encouraging and nev-er put each other down,” said Kleven. “We have great coaches. They are al-ways positive and they encourage ev-eryone. They push us hard so we can do our best.”

As much as Kleven looks up to her coaches, Bedford and Butler, they also admire her desire to succeed.

“I feel like I’m being taught by her commitment and inner motivation. Her desire to excel is fun to watch,” said Butler. “Those are things a coach can’t teach. They have to come from with-

in. So I feel honored and lucky to work with her.”

Kleven loves to hang out with her teammates. In turn, they all look up to her leadership, motivation, and great at-titude.

“She’s hard working, she’s a good team leader, and she is strong and has a lot of endurance,” said Andraea Shelley. “She is all-around awesome.”

Kleven also inspires her teammates in other ways.“She is fast and she wins all her races,”said Sheldon Shelley. “She makes mewant to run faster.”

Kleven began her running career in track as a sprinter, but it didn’t go so well. She tried distance her junior year, and she felt great about it. She attri-butes her desire to do cross country to

Stephanie Honey, who got her into dis-tance running.

Besides her busy schedule with cross country, Kleven is also involved in clubs and organizations. She is a member of FBLA and is on the seminary council. Her favorite class is seminary.

Kleven likes making movies, spend-ing time with her family, biking, and drawing. She is thinking of being an artist. Most of all, she eventually wants to be a mom and have a home job. She isn’t positive of what college she wants to go to, but she thinks SUU would be fun.

Kleven loves the challenges of cross country and the success it brings her.

“I’ve always liked it even though it’s been hard. I’ve never regretted it,” said Kleven.

Girls tennis takes 2nd in region,

looks forward to divisional

BY CY HANA THOMPSON

Lady Hawk Tennis, one of the more successful fall sports at NS, has placed 2nd in the region and will be competing in divisional held at Snow College this week.

The team has prepared for the season by starting in the summer with a program taught by Head Coach Jeff Ericksen ffof Fairview, called summer tennis.

The team started practice on August 10th and set up about 4-5 pre-season games so they would be ready for their region matches.

The challenge this season was not preparation for it, rather the coping with the loss of five previous senior varsity play-ers.

“We lost five varsity members from last year and so we ba-sically had a new team,” said Laurel Blackham, senior fromMoroni, first doubles varsity. “[But we] did well considering that we lost five varsity members and we’re in a new region consisting of Manti, Emery, Delta, Richfield and Juab, but Juab doesn’t have a tennis team.”

Although the team lost leadership, the seniors on the team this year stepped up to fill in their shoes. Raberta Garlick, first singles senior from Fairview, is the number one player on the team and also in the region.

“[There are] two tournaments left, divisional tournament and then state,” said Head Coach Jeff Ericksen of Fairview. ff“Both Raberta Garlick and Breanna Saddler are the number one seeds. Raberta was the best number one singles in the entire region. Breanna Saddler was undefeated in region 8-0, 2nd region champ.”

The players look forward to the challenges of divisional matches.

“At divisional we play harder teams from the St. George area and it’ll be funner competition,” said Blackham.

According to Ericksen the season was challenging but it was very rewarding. The team had the chance to win the re-gion trophy against Manti, but they lost and got 2nd, Erick-kksen considered this a pleasant disappointment.

“I wasn’t expecting a chance at region trophy because we’re a young team with only 2 seniors on the varsity team out of 7 spots,” said Ericksen.

This season the girls exceeded expectations stated Erick-kksen, now he would just like them to finish strong. He’d like them to do well at divisional and he hopes to make some noise at state.

According to Garlick, the team needs to support each oth-er and cheer each other on to help them finish strong in their matches.

A few athletic advantages the team has is that they are very aggressive at the net, they keep on their toes and have a lot of

Getting tackled, hit, and thrown to the ground is not what most people find ap-pealing to sign up for. How-ever, the NS football players are back and ready to go with a new season.

With a new region this year, the Hawks have tough competition as well as high expectations for themselves. The new region consists of Juab, Delta, Emery, Rich-field, Manti, and NS.

According to Coach Ty-ler Bailey this is an extreme-ly tough region to play foot-ball in. There are no blow out games in this region, whoev-er comes out on top will have to train, practice, and fight for the 2010 region title.

“We can win as long as people are thinking and ev-eryone does their part,” said Jared Watts, senior running back from Fairview.

Bailey feels Juab and Del-ta will be the biggest compe-tition for region this year, but

he also believes the Hawks are up to the challenge.

“If we practice hard, play hard everything else takescare of itself and we can win,” said Bailey.

Although the Hawks are confident heading into re-gion, they have had some struggles getting out of the gate. They opened the season with two losses against Mil-lard and Grantsville. How-ever, they pulled it together to play Maple Mountain.

For the second home game

of the season, the Hawks wel-comed the Maple Mountain Golden Eagles. The Hawks played just as Bailey had hoped and pulled out with a win of 34 - 14.

“We won that game be-cause everyone played to-gether as a team,” said Watts, “Our line was awesome and did their job with some amaz-ing blocking.”

The following Friday, the Hawks traveled to Wasatch to take on the Wasps. The game didn’t go quite like some had

hoped, with a loss of 56 - 20,but the coaches believe it was a good learning experience.

“Our team is young,” said Bailey. “We have things we can work on, we just need tokeep our focus.”

Fortunately, the year is just starting for the Hawks and they have many games to show their potential in.

Many of the players com-mented on having a young team and how they stepped up to fill last years seniors positions very well.

According to team mem-bers, quarterback Rhett Bird has shown very high poten-tial in playing varsity as asophomore.

“He’s got talent. He makes the plays under pressure and he’s never even played the quarterback position before,” said Watts.

The next home game forthe Hawks will be homecom-ing, taking place on October 9. They will be taking on the new addition to 3A, NS ri-vals, the Manti Templars.

Boys golf team exceeds coaches expectations

BY CY HANA THOMPSON

Golfers play well despite youth, win tourneys against upperclass-men and show promise for golf seasons to come.

NS boy’s golf has had a surpris-ingly good season considering the young age of most of the players.

The team consists of ten fresh-man, three sophomores and no up-perclassmen, which made it hard to compete because other teams in the region were composed of junior and senior golfers.

Macoy Cox, sophomore of Fairview, believes that the season was not as successful because the team had so many freshmen. Their inexperience affected the outcome ffffof the season. But the season still had some positives.

“We beat Emery twice and tied with Manti once,” said Head CoachTodd Hansen of Moroni. “But we haven’t had much of a winning re-cord.”

Hansen is impressed with the way the young team has played. He said that he is impressed the most with the players’ control. It is what makes the team so promising for the future.

“They’ll be a team to deal with next year and the years to come,” said Hansen.

Team captain Kyle Seely, sopho-more of Mt. Pleasant, said that one of the main strengths the team has is their ability to be taught.

“We’ve had six tournaments, and we just go out and do our best, but our team is still too young to com-pete,” said Seely. “[But] in the fu-ture we’ll be good because we havea lot of quality players.”

The team believes that if they continue playing the sport of golf with the intensity and spirit they’ve done thus far, they show much promise for the 2010 golf season and years after.

Hansen said that the number two thing he is most impressed with about the team is their natural talent.

“The only weakness they have is a low percentage and consistency with making a clean striker contact with the ball,” said Hansen. “But that will come with time and get-ting older.”

According to Hansen the team has improved greatly, each boy has improved by at least 7 to 8 stokes during the season.

Hansen also commented on how smart the team is. This team is the smartest team he’s ever coached, with the average GPA of the team being 3.5. This shows that academ-ics correlate with athletics.

Golf is a very mentally demand-ing sport that requires great control and patience Hansen stated.

“I love golf because it is a good mental challenge,” said Cox.

All golfers have a personal rea-son for playing the sport.

“I like golf because sometimes even if you are doing badly, you get that one good shot that makes you feel good,” said Seely. “It makes you excited, and it makes you want to keep playing.”

Hansen said that he coaches be-cause he loves golf and the golf pro-gram; he’s been involved with it for a very long time. He wants to de-velop the gentlemens’ game of golf in this area.

“Golf develops great character in a young man and I enjoy being a part of that,” said Hansen.

John Youngburg is the assistant coach of the team, he is a certified teacher and he really helps the boys and they enjoy having him there.

“[Coach Hansen has] helped us stay mentally strong and teach us the safe way to play,” said Cox.

Hansen is extremely excited for the future for this golf program. He says that the next 2-3 years should be great to see how the team can do.

Lady Hawk soccer struggles through a tough season

BY LEXI TURLEYTT

The Lady Hawks soccer team ended their eight game pre season with a 5-2 win against Gunnison. Al-though the team won only this one game, they feel that the regional season will be promising.

“We didn’t really do a lot this summer,” said Head Coach Farrel Marx, “but I think we’ll have a better sec-ond half.”

The team captains this year are Heather Anderson, stopper, Haley Ence, middle midfielder, and Karen Crosland, defensive on the back line. All three senior captains are returning varsity players.

There are a few new varsity team members. One of them is Nia Ricks. Ricks is the varsity team’s goal keeper, but she has never played keeper before. She re-turns to the team after taking last year off from soccer.ff

“My favorite part about soccer is the practice drills,” said Ricks. “They’re hard and I hate them, but I love them, too! Soc

“My favoritetice is the runnand it really hgame,” said Enc

The currengional season hkicked off to a gffstart, but the tis definitely l

ing to improve. The first region game was on Septem-ber 15th at Delta High School.

The team played hard with the game resulting in a tie, 2-2. The teams went into a sudden death round, during which both teams try to score and the first to score wins. Both teams fought hard, working well with their teams, but in the end Delta had the victory.

A player from Delta tripped and was still trying to kick the ball while on the ground. The Hawk’s Ander-son went to get the ball, but the Delta player was in the way. Many North Sanpete players and fans said that the referees should have called an obstruction on Del-ta.

The confused referees weren’t sure what call to make, and they decided to call a foul on NS. Delta got a free kick and made a goal, winning 3-2.

The next region match was NS against rival Manti in which they suffered another loss, this time 1-0. ffff

energy stated Blackham. But one thing the team needs to put some time into is the simple basics.

“We need to work on just the basics, like making sure we follow through on our strokes,” said Black-kkham.

Besides the basics the only dis-advantage the team has is their young age the inexperience they are trying to overcome.

According to Blackham the coaches are really good to let them know what they need to work on without getting into their heads.

Ericksen has been coaching for 12 years and has had Assistant

Coach Brad Bentley, of Mt. Pleas-ant, right by his side helping to coach the girls.

“Coach Bentley is an awesome assistant, and he’s a good guy to have around,” said Ericksen.

According to Ericksen he coach-es because it is a good stress relief and he loves tennis because its fun. He also loves the students and he believes coaching is another way to get to know them through positive interaction.

As the season comes to a close with State on October 9th, the se-niors and coaches realize that this is the end of the line for the upper-

classman in their beloved sport.“We’ll miss the seniors after they

graduate,” said Ericksen. “[But we have] exciting new players too that can hopefully gain experience to be good when they’re older.”

According to Blackham she will miss the friendships from tennis and how much fun it was. She will miss playing on a team.

Garlick has grown to love the sport of tennis while watching her older sisters and brother. She truly enjoys playing against good players because it makes her better.

“I’m just really gonna miss ten-nis,” said Garlick.

Snow College features artwork of NS alumnusBY CY ARLY CY HAPMAN

Graduate of 2009, Ethan Aldridge will always be remembered as the artist of the new mural in the NS High Library. Now attending Snow Col-lege, Aldridge is already creating his niche.

Starting October fifth, his art show titled Night Terrors: Bedtime Stories and Cautionary Tales will be featured in Snow College’s student Alt Space. The Alt Space is a student-run section of the larg-er college gallery reserved specifically for student projects, located in Snow College’s humanities building.

Adam Larsen, associate professor of art, acts as the Alt Space coordinator. He said he chose to dis-play Aldridge’s art over other Alt Space applicants because it is a body of work that feels cohesive with a strong sense of direction.

“More than anything, Ethan’s art says ‘I’m hav-ing fun making art.’ You can tell there’s passion and excitement,” Larsen said.

Aldridge’s exhibit uses an array of materials in-cluding pencil-and-ink illustrations; oil, acrylic, and watercolor paintings; sculpture; and linoleum cuts.

“It’s like the scary fairy tales parents tell you to freak you out at night,” Aldridge said about his dis-play.

Aldridge said the exhibit allows the observer to reconnect with the darker, slightly more sinis-ter side of their own childhoods. Aldridge believes the ghost stories told to us as children prepare us to take a chance on some sort of big opportunity available in the future.

“I think this is an impulse taught to us in ghost stories told to us from the edge of our childhood bedsides,” said Aldridge. “It is easy for people to forget this, and I would like to bring some of this back to my viewers.”

Aldridge believes everyone can connect withthe personal and emotional impact that his draw-ings portray.

“It’s quirky. A lot of people respond to his style,” Larsen said.

His drawing method was greatly influenced and developed during his years at NS.

“The materials and design techniques I learned in high school are like 80% of what I use,” he said.

With his unique, darker-than-normal style,

Aldridge hopes his viewers react positively to his display.

“I hope they will enjoy it and get something out of it,” he said.

Peer and roommate, Steven Johansen thinks the display will be a success.

“His art intrigues people,” Johansen said. “It’s not everyday stuff.”ffff

Larsen said that even though Aldridge shows

much talent, he manages to retain his humility.“A lot of people who put together a body of

work become arrogant too quickly,” said Larsen. “But [Aldridge] keeps his humility.”

The opening will be on the said date, a sort of reception from noon to one o’clock. The art will be on display for one week.

NS students prepare to present Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor DreamcoatThere is a tradition at NS that will continue this year: the

fall musical. The current production is Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.

Auditions were held during the week of the earlier this month. Director Mrs. Roundy, and Assistant Director Mrs.

Roberson (Mrs. Lady) have been hard at work on the details of the play. They have given more cast opportunities by notonly double casting the play, but also splitting some roles into multiple parts.

“It’s always fun to see the new talent,” said Mrs. Roundy

There has been some skepticism considering the fact that the musical involved so many male roles, and there were such a small amount of male students who tried out for the musical. Fortunately after the frantic week of auditions, they were able to find enough participants.

“We have quite a few guys I was surprised,” said se-nior Laurel Bailey.

Now that the talent needed has been found, the con-fidence of how the musical will proceed has grown dramat-ically.

“I think we’re pretty skilled,” said sophomore Tanner Spaulding.

Rehearsals will go until the days of the performance in November.

Mind-blowing graphics prop up post-apocolyptic adventure

BY JY ESSE RICHMOND

My thoughts when I saw the first scene of 9: “Oh my goodness graphics.” Really. They’re that good.

The movie opens with shots of an unknown man

slowly creating a small rag doll- type creature (official-ly called “stitchpunks”), then writing the number 9 on its back. The details in these scenes are extremely precise,and the end result is extreme-ly satisfying.

The movie’s premise is that all the humans are dead. They’re gone for good. The entire landscape seems to be blown to bits. What could’ve

caused such an apocalypse? Machines, of course.

Now, these aren’t your sci-fi future machines. No, thismovie takes place in an era made to look like the time between WWI and WWII. These machines use Gatling guns and poison gas to de-stroy the humans.

Anyway, 9 (the doll from the opening) wakes up sever-al days after his creation withonly a broken voice box and a strange device (The Talis-man) to his name. After find-ing the body of his creator, he flees the building into the un-known spaces beyond.

(On a side note, I really enjoyed the silence in these scenes. They pay homage toShane Acker’s original short film, which was silent beside sound effects.)ffff

As you might infer, there are eight other stitchpunks running around the world. 9 runs into 2, who fixes his voice box, but the meeting is short lived. 9 scarcely has time to utter “Friend?” when a beast-like machine, with a cat skeleton as a body, snatch-es 2 and the talisman.

Injured by the cat beast, 9 stumbles around the city be-fore being picked up by 5, 2’s apprentice. 5 is hiding outwith stitchpunks 1 (the stub-born leader), 6 (a demented artist), and 8 (1’s burly body-guard). Concerned that no one will help 2, 9 sets out on his own, though 5 eventually joins him.

The cat beast resides in an old factory with a blown out wall. 9 and 5 find 2 safe and sound, but the beast returns.Thanks to the intervention of 7 (the only female ‘punk, who left the others to combat the beast), the cat beast loses its head, but their troubles arenot over.

9 regains the talisman, and puts it in a corresponding slot he finds under a flag. Thiswas not a good idea. The tal-isman opens, sucking the soul out of 2 like spaghetti, and re-awakening the Fabrication Machine, a giant metal mon-strosity with a giant red eye, creator of the death machines and the cat beast.

From here, the plot de-generates into the typical ac-tion movie fare. Flee from the beasts, kill the beasts, find a way to kill the machine. As repetitive as the story are the ways in which the new beastsdie. The movie redeems itself at the end, but I was still ex-pecting more from it.

In all, the movie was fairly good. The graphics were spot on, surpassing even the capa-bilities of PIXAR. Yes, the plot was predictable, but there are scenes that shine (you’ll nev-er think of “Somewhere Overthe Rainbow” the same way again).

The chances of 9 coming to Sanpete are slim (something about a limited number of prints). Everything account-ed for, I’d say it’s worth taking a drive for.
