Sterling Scholar can take a painstakingly large amount of time and effort, ff but it can also be very beneficial for going to college and for the community. Sterling Scholar requires many different ff things. Generally, applicants need to have good grades, and they need to be involved in the community in a positive way. In order to have a chance of winning, scholars start new programs and activities to help the community. North Sanpete’s Foreign Language Sterling Scholar, Stephany Leon, started one of these programs, called Latinos in Action. Latinos in Action is a program that tutors Hispanic kids to become more involved in school. “It was very interesting and exciting for me to start this program. I had heard about it from a friend, and really wanted to get involved with it,” said Leon. Chante’ Birch, the General Sterling Scholar, also began another program, the Hand Signing Class. “We have some people that communicate through sign language in our school, and I really wanted to be able to communicate with them, so I started this class,” said Birch.
After all the sterling scholars do, they have to create portfolios and be interviewed by judges to find the winners. In interviews the applicants are asked about such things as their involvement in leadership activities, and the Foreign Language applicants are asked to speak a differ ff ent language. Birch found that the interviews can be very stressful. “They were very casual, but I was used to less casual interviews so it threw me off. ff I can’t really remember what happened during it; I was just relieved when it was over. Despite the effort ff of every applicant, only one from each category can win first place, with a runner-up. In North Sanpete, Parker Earl won his category of Computer Science, with Valerie De Mill, Karen Montano, Danielle Watson, and Jessica Lindow placing as runners-up in their categories. Attaining this is very difficult and has many awards available for those who do achieve it. For being the runner-up in the Dance category, De Mill was offered ff a full tuition scholarship to Snow College. “It was surprising how prestigious it was, ” said De Mill.

Due to the recent implementation of budget cuts in the North Sanpete school district, a new teacher has been added to the staff ff at North Sanpete High School. The result of this addition is not necessarily related to the Photo byy Hannah Aldridge budget cuts at NSH, but rather the cuts at North Sanpete Middle School. One full-time teacher was cut from the high-school staff and from the middle-school staff ff each. Additionally, one teacher, Weldon Wardle, is leaving to teach at Westlake High School next year. Wardle’s leaving created the need for a new world geography teacher. This need was facilitated, however, by the cuts from the middle school. The high school and middle school were in agreement that the teacher cut from the middle school staff ff would replace Wardle for next year. The teacher chosen to fill this role was Amber Hill, a mathematics and history teacher at North Sanpete High School. Her inclusion to the staff ff is not being met with resistance by the administration. “I taught with her, and I am excited to have her. She will do a terrific job,” said Jason Strate, vice principal of North Sanpete High. According to Strate, he believes that Hill will also bring many fresh ideas for improvement at NS. “There’s always something to improve upon,” said Strate. Strate’s enthusiasm is equally matched by Hill’s ambition to be added to the staff. ff Hill is excited for the change of scenery and is ambitious to teach high-school students. Hill has been teaching for 16 years, seven of which were spent at the middle school. Before teaching at NSMS, Hill taught at Logan Cache Career Development, an alternative school for students who left school or were otherwise expelled. During this time, she interacted with high-school students and learned how to handle less-than-cooperative students. Hill is also anticipating the participation of the students and their added maturity. In terms of Hill’s education, she received a BS in history from Utah State University, and she minored in sociology. Additionally, she received endorsements in math.

The reason I chose to do this was honestly because it sounded fun, but I would also enjoy participating in the planning of school events. The experience would help me develop my leadership skills and my ability to work with others. As a student body officer, I would try to make the year fun and different, ff and try to listen to the needs of the students. But no matter what the outcome is, I will be glad for the opportunity.
Shyanne Ison: Our school needs to be united, and support each other in everything we do. Clubs and organizations need to support each other and have fun doing it. I feel North Sanpete is lackk ing in school spirit and pride, and the traditions that were previously set by past students. My goal as Activity Agent is to bring back what is missing, and unite the students of North Sanpete High School again.

I want this year to be great not only for me, but for all of us here at North Sanpete High. I would love to be more involved and get the very most out of my senior year. I believe that if I am put in this position I will be able to fulfill the needs of the student body plus much more. I have a lot to offer, ff and if given this position, I will make this next school year a great one.
Activity Agent Nathan Aagard: There are a few reasons why I decided to run for a student body off fice. I wanted to get involved with school, and I don’t think there is a better way to do so. I thought it would be good to hold a leadership position and be part of the decisions made here at North Sanpete High. My unofficial campaign manager Paul Cook was one of the first to encourage me to run, and I have been looking forward to it ever since. No matter what the outcome, this should be a good experience for me and everyone else running for off fice.

Winning the first-place position can hold even greater rewards. For Earl to win, he had to do many things. He created a portfolio that was about 30 to 33 pages long. This portfolio was about him and what he had done for Sterling Scholar. One of the impressive things that went into Earl’s portfolio was his Eagle Project. For his Eagle Project he built the computers for the computer labs at the high school. He has also done some work with the Mt. Pleasant Public Library. He was their network administrator, which entailed the task of creating their new server and managing their network. “ The judges don’t only look at the things you’ve accomplished, but the leadership positions that you’ve had,” said Earl. One of the things that De Mill did to accomplish the leadership portion of this was
that she was the Secretary of the Student Body Officers. Earl was the Vice-President of the FBLA club, he is in the presidency of the National Honors Society, and has held various religious positions. Earl was offered ff many scholarships for his win. He has had full-ride offers ff from Utah State, UVU, and Westminster. He also had a fulltuition scholarship offer ff from BYU. He is considering attending Utah State, BYU and Westminster. He wants to major in Computer Hardware Engineering, and then work for a company like Sony, Apple or Toshiba. “Sterling Scholar was a lot of work, but in the end it paid off ff and was valuable to me,” said Earl. Being a Sterling Scholar takes a lot of work, but in the end whether they win or not, the applicants became involved in their community and maybe came off ff with a scholarship.

Our editor-in-chief examines modern childhood BY JEREMY MY ZABRISKIE Often I find myself walking the streets of Fairview, and now is the time when I enjoy it the most. Now is when spring lends its color to the scenery, transforming the world from the dull monochrome of winter. In an instant, the earth is drenched in an overwhelming verdancy, and the sun lends itself to the expression of this beauty by outlining its figures in an amber hue that wraps and encapsulates, in warmth, the infancy of spring in the hours before twilight. While walking, I must saunter past Fairview Elementary, as it is on the only street leading from Fairview Heights. Only six years have passed since I attended that school, and yet so much has changed. Once, there was a giant, metal slide—probably fifteen feet, or so, in height. The brute jutted out from the ground and ascended to the heavens with an awe-inspiring authority that pierced the sky with its sharp, metallic edges. The giant loomed over the playground, announcing its presence and omnipotence over the woodchips. To climb the beast was to ascend Everest. Each cautious, nervous step led to its peak. The sundrenched metal stung our flesh as we clambered up the stairs, each successive step creating an audible proof of conquest. Once at the top, you could stand on the precipice to announce your victory— knobby knees shaking with the altitude. From here, the world was small. Vast, open plains stretched infinitely to rural homes and wide streets, vacant in the obligations of mid-day. This slide, though simple in nature, was something to be revered. It lent itself to the beauty of
childhood. The vast grounds of the school and the placidity of the metal playground equipment made the children feel free. This openness gave each student a feeling of maturity, that we were trusted to be good despite the lack of adult supervision. Now, I wince when I pass the school. The grounds are lined with chain-linked fences, limiting the kids to the playground and designated sporting areas. Surveillance cameras, protected by caged structures, adorn the cold bricks of the school. These digital eyes keep constant watch on the students, reminding them that everything they do is under scrutiny. More disappointing, though, is the absence of “the slide.� The slide threatened the authority and liability of the adults, and thus it was replaced. In its place stands a dwarf structure made of safe, multicolored plastic—a metaphor for changing ideals. In a short amount of time, I have seen a growing presence of paranoia. Kids no longer wander the streets on Halloween. They are taken, door to door, by the monitored safety of a mini-van. Now, any youth with the ability to read digits is given a cell phone. Parents use GPS to monitor their child's every move, and every step is accounted for. I may only be 18, but even I grew up in a diff ferent time than most of my younger peers. The difference ff was not the result of a greater supply of integrity. People were no better then. There were still “bad guys,� and the world was just as dangerous. I have a hard time believing that increased paranoia and absurd “safety� measures have made much of a difference. ff Bad things still happen to good people. Because of growing uncertainty, everyone
The joy of
is afraid of everyone else. People walk familiar streets clutching their belongings, doing their best to avoid eye-contact with anyone unknown. Parents keep their children in the house, denying them of the beauty of childhood—the danger and recklessness of youth. We grow fat and distended in our houses fearing the fevers of the world, the motives of its inhabitants. We scowl and protest, sue and condemn, that with which we do not agree or understand. We let our differences ff separate us, and ignore the similarities that bring us together. I feel that this fear comes, in part, from mass media. Fox News will tell you anything to scare you into watching their nightly broadcast. Who would tune in to a program to hear about the thousands of planes that land safely? (Read newspapers instead of watching televised news. Hint hint.) We live in a world where information is readily available. This is not a bad thing, by any means, but with knowledge of the sordid world, we decide that we want no stake in it. I truly believe that humans are inherently good and evil. Nobody fits neatly into any category. So, why must we focus so intently on the bad instead of embracing the good? Why must we fear each other; why must we hate each other? If anyone really wants to make a change, one should stop living in denial of what is static, and instead focus on emphasizing that which already exists, that which is good and pure, in every human being. Ultimately, I just want my metal slide back— the metaphor for the loss of trust, respect, and freedom. I want to see the abolition of paranoia, and its stupid plastic playthings.

Earl excels in academics while making time for leisure
Photo byy Chad McKay
Parker Earl prepares to pound a tennis ball into the opposing court. Aside from playing tennis, Earl also enjoys playing ping pong, and composing and working with computers. He was also chosen to be the Technology Sterling Scholar at the region level.
BY KATIE CARPENTER If you hear a white, 1982 Pontiac Firebird TransAm take off ff and someone in it singing along to the Killers or Billy Joel, it’s most likely Parker John Earl. Earl, although born in Heber, Utah grew up in Fairview. Just before fifth grade, he and his family moved to Mt. Pleasant where they currently reside. Being the youngest of six children, Earl has been the only kid at home for the last couple of years and has enjoyed the peaceful time to
himself. “Growing up was wild. Everyone’s running around with eight different ff agendas… but having that many people when we all got a chance to just sit around and play a game was fun... and it still is,” said Earl about his family. When he’s not with his family one can certainly find him with his friends. “I’m a social person within my group. I don’t do too many things outside of a certain group, but I think I’m friends with everyone,” said Earl. Jeff ff Ericksen, Earl’s tennis
coach, has also noticed that Earl is a very sociable student. “He’s not in any one clique,” said Ericksen. “People are just attracted to him because of his personality.” Some of his favorite things to do when just hanging out are playing a few intense rounds of ping pong or pulling some unique pranks. Although he was reluctant to tell about some of the mischief he and his friends have done, he did talk about one prank in particular. “One time [my friends and I] set up a living room in
some random person’s front yard. It had the works… a couch, lamps, coffee ff tables… we’d planned it for a long time,” said Earl. Although Earl likes to relax and have a good time, he has been involved in many educational and extracurricular activities for the past few years. Just recently, he won the 2009 Technology Sterling Scholar award. This award, which opens up many opportunities for college, was not an easy road to get to. Earl has had to keep an outstanding GPA throughout his four years of high school. Not only has he kept good grades, but he’s been a part of the Associate Program, taking college classes while still in high school. When he graduates this May, he will also receive his Associate Degree. Parker has also taken an active roll in service projects and extracurricular activities. Some of these activities included being the Parliamentarian in the National Honor Society presidency, being a member of FBLA, serving a year on the Mt. Pleasant Youth City Council and earning his Eagle Scout award. One challenge Earl has had on his road to Sterling Scholar was putting together
his portfolio of all his past accomplishments. While other Sterling Scholar participants took months putting a folder together, Parker did his entire portfolio the night before the competition. “I’m a procrastinator. It’s a lot of cramming, but when I have to cram I do so good,” Earl said with a laugh. He has also done a lot of work with the high school, not only for his Sterling Scholar project, but to help him learn about the field of work he would like to go into in the future. One of these projects Earl has helped with was building 52 new computers for the technology and computer labs at the school. “When it comes to computers, he’s a good problem solver,” said Tina Mitchell, a teacher that received some of the computers Earl put together. “He enjoys learning new things and this has helped him achieve a lot in his computer skills.” With a love for technology like Earl’s, he couldn’t have asked for a better afterschool job. During the week, Earl works at the local Radio Shack and Centracom center. Earl has also had a job teaching another passion of his… the piano. He’s been playing the pi-
ano for ten years and taught it to kids ages 7-18 for about three to four years. His love for music has also encouraged him to play other instruments including synthesizers, guitar, the accordion, violin, harmonica and the drums. Not only does he play, but he writes his own music too. “I do a lot of personal recording and composing,” said Earl. “I’m picking up on a lot of hot compositions lately… A lot of times I write for a full orchestra but mostly violin and piano duets.” If the weather is nice though, you won’t find him playing music in his basement. You’ll find him out practicing on the tennis courts. Earl has been playing tennis for the past seven years and has made his way to the spot of the number two singles position on the school’s tennis team. “He’s always got a positive attitude,” said Ericksen. “He loves tennis and he loves to hit. He always has a desire to get better. Parker’s so multitalented and has so many things going for him,” said Ericksen. Earl has accomplished a lot and plans to continue learning and succeeding in years to come.
Earth Day goes unnoticed as the environment slowly declines BY HANNAH ALDRIDGE
Earth Day has been around since 1970, when Senator Gaylord Nelson had the idea to set aside a dayy entirely dedicated to the preservation of the Earth. Butt how many people actually celebrate it? Surprisingly, not very many take this opportunity to reduce, reuse, and recycle. This can be seen as negative because there is always a few things individuals can do to help the environment. “We can all do our part to help the environment,” said Trevor Carter, sophomore from Fairview. “We’ve made the mistake of living beyond our ecological means.” Many people believe that in some way or another, a we have hurt the environment by doing such things as burning rning fossil fuels constantly, making plastics that aren’t biodegradable, etc.
We are beginning to see the effect ff of years and years of trash building up. Such things as the heap of garbage floating around in the Pacific Ocean is beginning to inevitably affect ff us. Though oof course, many people are doing their part to help. “I loove recycling, it’s great!” said Erika Ence, senior. Ence is not the only one who believes recycling is the right choice. New campaigns such as the “Green Generation,” being activated this year, are also taking steps to help clean up the earth. This is a huge job, once one considers places such as Linfen and Tianying, both located in China, which are the top two most-polluted places in the world. “Earth Day is a contemporary environmental movement, meant to include all of us,” said Tori Egan, Junior. There are many things one can do if they wish to help the environment. One can buy refillable pens and pencils; instead of ones you throw away aff ter using them only a few times. One can buy reusable water bottles, instead of disposable ones. o Or one could just throw our old notebook paper in the recycling bin. There are a million things one can do to help. The list goes on and on.
North Sanpete studentsdebates the usefulness of the morning Seely serves lunch, reads Twilight
Photo byy Jesse Richmond
Though some students and staff of NS find mornings a joy, others find the early hours difficult. This is due to the circadian rythym, or “biological clock.”
BY JESSE RICHMOND Each morning, the students and staff ff of NS High get up to face the day, and that’s where the similarities end. Each individual has a morning routine, and with it, a corresponding attitude that determines whether they greet the morning with a grin or a grimace. On the sunny side of the debate stands Dax Higgins, NS science teacher. Higgins says he is a “morning person”, and is fairly optimistic about the beginning of his day. Higgins says that the idea of starting over every day appeals to him, as well as hearing the birds at dawn. “The birds don’t sing as much at night,” says Higgins. Students Charlotte Larsen and Katrina Jordan also enjoy the early hours of the day. Larsen says that she is “hyper” in the mornings, which she partially attributes to her eagerness to go to zero-hour jazz band. Jordan says that she enjoys listening to the stillness of her house in the morning. Both Higgins and Jordan agree that they can focus better in the morning, with Jordan stating that if she sleeps too long, she finds herself more tired during the day than if she had woken up earlier. “I do better if I get up in the morning,” says Jordan. Jordan greets the day between 6-6:30 AM, preferring to wake up naturally instead of using an alarm. Her siblings, on the other hand, use alarm clocks, but “never get up to them,” so Jordan helps them get up, then cooks them a warm breakfast.
There are a few chores to do, such as feeding pets and cleaning rooms, after which they all eat and go to school. In contrast to this cheery morning crowd, NS librarian Shirley Hilton generally dislikes mornings. “I have a hard time waking up,” says Hilton. Hilton says that, unlike her mornings, she is very energetic in the evening, to the point where she sometimes has trouble falling asleep at night. Though she can’t explain why she feels this way, she theorizes that it could be that she doesn’t have as much opportunity to get things done in the morning. NS students Nathan Glad and Wyatt Christensen sympathize with Hilton’s aversion to the morning. “Even though I get up really early, I hate mornings,” says Glad. Glad rises wearily to the sound of an alarm at 6 AM. His chores involve cleaning his room and the bathroom, but his siblings get themselves ready. After a usually cold but occasionally warm breakfast, he drops his siblings off ff at school, and then picks up his cousins who also attend NS High. Glad says that generally, he likes to sleep and wake up aff ter the sun has risen. Christensen also says he enjoys sleeping, and that he likes evenings better than mornings. The line has been drawn, but does it even exist? Could this tendency to like mornings or evenings better just be in the mind? The answer is no, and there are facts to prove it. First off, ff some scientists have chosen to call early risers and late sleepers “larks” and “owls,” respectively. According to Firstscience.com only 20% of the population says that they fall into these extreme ends of the sleep cycle, while the other 80% have no significant boost in evenings or mornings. So why does this happen? The answer lies in the body’s circadian rhythm, also known as the biological clock. The circadian rhythm controls when you fall asleep and wake up by controlling body temperature and the release of certain chemicals. Larks’ rhythms will make these changes earlier in the day, and vice versa for owls. So, whether it’s Glad’s aversion to the pre-daylight hours or Higgins’ affinity to birdsong, the students and staff ff of NS High are thoroughly mixed in their feelings about the morning. Whether or not that affects ff what they do with the rest of the day is another story.

The girls’ golf team has now competed in two tournaments where they played well despite the fact that many of the girls are new to the sport. “The girls are improving by leaps and bounds,” said Head Coach Todd Hansen. “They’re being patient and learning how to hit and make contact [with the ball].” The first tournament the team competed in was the Schneider’s Bluff ff tournament where they tied for fourth place with Salem Hills. The varsity team had good scores with Raberta Garlick hitting a 23, Malinda Sorensen with an 18, Ashlee Mower hit a 20 and Amanda Sorensen with an 11. In the second tournament at Juan Diego the team once again placed fourth overall behind Juan Diego, Delta and Carbon. In this tournament Garlick hit a 22, Malinda Sorensen had a 25 and both Amanda Sorensen and Mower hit a 20. The team members are happy with their scores and they love the sport. “I’m satisfied with my performance,” said Malinda Sorensen. “Golf is fun, I enjoy it a lot. The girls are fun to be around. My favorite thing about golf is that I get to meet new people.” The team also played in a dual tournament with Juab, but hadd to finish it early because of a rain delay.
undefeated in region play and setting up a game for the ages. Last Tuesday the Hawks played against the number two team in the state for a potential region-deciding game. The favored Salem Hills Sky Hawks had a 3-1 lead on the Lady Hawks going into the bottom of the sixth. However, the game was far from over. A late surge in the game brought the Lady Hawks back to life with senior Nicole Gordon, leading the way with two home-run blasts and three runs batted in. The game continued into three extra innings until junior Shelby Earl hit a walkoff ff double to drive in the winning run. There have also been major contributions from some of the underclassmen. “The sophomores have really stepped up,” said Seely. Coaches have noticed what the underclassmen have brought to the table. “Some of the unexpected improvement has come from Anna Ledingham. She has worked her way up to be one of our better hitters,” said coach Bailey. All in all, it comes down to staying focused and playing up to their potential. And if they can do that, then it should be an exhilarating remainder of the season.

Kenny Rawlings pitches at a home game against Carbon; his favorite position is shortstop. Rawlings has been playing baseball since he was six.
BY ANA RAMIREZ When you’re young, you want to grow up to be like your role model. This is the case of Kenny Rawlings, a senior at NS High. Rawlings has been playing baseball since the age of six and has been playing for the hawks ever since his freshmen year. An important person that inspired Rawlingss to play baseball was his dad.
“My dad played baseball in college. He is my role model,” said Rawlings. Rawlings position in baseball is shortstop and pitcher, with shortstop being his favorite. Rawlings has beenbatting over .700 this year, highest on the team. But his father isn’t the only positive baseball influence for Rawlings. “My coaches are the best and funni-
est coaches I have ever met,” said Rawlings. Another sport that Rawlings is involved in is basketball. Rawlings has also been doing basketball since his freshmen year. Rawlings’ baseball and basketball teams are like family to him. They celebrate their victories and fight through their struggles. “There are like milk to my cheerios—they’re the coolest people I know”, said Rawlings. Not only is Rawlings involved in sports but also some school clubs such as Multi Cultural and FBLA. Rawlings joined and participated in FBLA at region his senior year. “He achieves his goals and does well,” said Tina Mitchell. Rawlings has had a good experience in high school being involved in baseball, basketball, FBLA, and the multicultural club. Rawlings future plans include serving an LDS mission, and after his mission he will probably attend Snow College or SUU to play ball. “Kenny has worked really hard throughout high school,” said Ryan Aagard, senior from Ft. Green, “He is really cool and is the cat’s pajamas.”
Boyss’ soccer focuses on going to state, seeks to improve offense ff “Beefore the delay we were doing welll,” said Hansen. S Some of the varsity team members hold a high ranking in tthe region, with Garlick beingg ranked 8th, Malinda Sorennsen is 9th, Mower is ranked 11thh, and Amanda Sorensen is 13thh. E Even though only four girlls hold a varsity position, thee rest of the team has beeen playing and practicingg well. “ “Some of the J.V. will be pusshing for a varsity spot by the end of the season,” saidd Hansen. “They don’t see theeir improvement, but as a coaach, I have watched theem improve.” Th girls’ next The touurnament will be hheld on April 23rd in Delta.
BY CALEEB CHRISTENSEN The Hawks are struggling even though ttheir defense is really strong. In region pplay they have won two out of the four games that they have played. Accorrding to defender Marcos Murrillo, thee secret to their good defense is Luis M Martinez, Matt Burch, Jordon Merrill, and Tom Hiltbrunn. Murrillo said thatt their ability to communicate with eacch other is the key to their defense. Hee also said that they know what they are going to do before they do it. Midfieelder Jesse Richmond attributes theeir success to the fact that they have a sstrong team bond, are superconditioned, and have good coaches. He said that the coaches have them play budddy soccer, and indoor soccer has also helped them with keeping the ball on the ground, and if the ball is in the air too trap it and put the ball back on the grround. The coach has also told them to bbe patient with their scoring. In ordder for the Hawks to be able to take region they will need to win

as many games as they can. They have made the goal of taking state this year. According to Richmond, in order for them to take state they will need to start the tournament out well. Richmond says that they way they are training to make state is that they have moved practice from two hours to three hours. They are conditioning by playing soccer. He said that, that helps them get
more united as a team. There is also freshmen that are playing on the varsity team. They are Dakota, Javier Navarro, and Cruz Rodriguez. Richmond says that the reason that they are on the varsity is that they have played soccer all of their lives he also said that they are always practicing so that is what makes them so good at soccer.

Hawk netters triumph at home, lose on the road BY VALERIE DE MILL
There’s no place like home. This is true for the boys’ tennis team as they have won their home matches but have faced tough competition on the road. Their only win away from home was against the Carbon Dinos. Their season play record is 4-3 with their wins coming from Wasatch, Carbon, Delta and Richfield. They suffered ff defeats from Manti, Juan Diego and Salem Hills. Michael Lewis, senior and first singles player, has a personal record of 3-4. In his match against Delta Lewis showed mental toughness. He was down in the third set 2-5, but he came back to win five straight games that gave him the set and match. “Michael is really hitting well. He’s been mentally tough,” said Assistant Coach Ben Cox. “That’s the kind of toughness you can’t coach.” Second singles, Parker Earl, a senior earned a win from Wasatch with a 6-4, 1-6, 6-3 win and beat his Richfield opponent in a tiebreak. “Parker has cut down a lot on his errors. He strokes well when he’s not over hitting, “ said Cox. “That makes all the
difference ff for him.” In third singles, junior Tucker Morin has the best record with his only losses coming from Juan Diego and Salem Hills. He has dominated over most of his opponents. His closest match was against Delta where he lost the first set 3-6 and won the next two 6-2, 6-3. “Tucker has really stepped up. Since the St. George tournament he’s been playing with a lot of passion,” said Head Coach Jeff ff Ericksen. In first doubles, brothers Derek and Hunter Erickk son, junior and sophomore, respectively, have struggled partly due to the fact that they haven’t played together the whole time. The overall record for first doubles is 1-6. Their win came from Richfield with a score of 7-6 (3), 6-1. The Erickson duo have only played together for three of the five matches. During the other two matches the second doubles team stepped up to fill the empty positions. Second doubles players, senior Jeremy Garlick and junior Kelton Rassmussen hold a 3-4 record. Their win against Richfield was big with a 6-0, 6-1 score. While playing in the first doubles

positions they succumbed to Wasatch and Manti. Despite some losses, this team has been playing well. They have improved immensely on their ground strokes, even tennis fans have noticed their improvement. “They stroke the ball better than we ever did,” said Dr. Wright, former tennis player. “I wish I had ground strokes like they do.” Although their ground
Track runners perform exceptionally well in recent meets
strokes have improved many agree that the team’s Achilles’ heel lies in their volley skills. “Our biggest weakness is our net play. Our form isn’t always right and we hit the ball into the net a lot,” said Erickson, when speaking about the first doubles team. “We go toward the middle leaving [the opponent] able to pass us down the line.” The coaches are working with the team to improve,
not only on volleys, but overall. However, despite all the practice the team feels their chance of winning region is slim to none because Juan Diego Catholic High School has really stepped it up this season. “Juan Diego is just too good,” said Cox. “The varsity players from last year were bumped down into the J.V.” Last year the boys’ ten-
nis team tied for region with Juan Diego, but when facing them this year not one varsity player was able to get more than three games off ff of their opponent. Even though a region title might not be possible these guys are still looking forward to their upcoming matches and are hoping to place second at the region tournament.
Baseball struggles after strong start BY CHA HANA T HOMPSON

Liz Larsen runs her leg in the girls 4x400 relay at the Juab track meet last Friday.
BY BRANDI A PEA E HL North Sanpete Track runners recently competed at Timpanogos High School’s Asics Invitational and Salem Hills High School where the girl’s team did exceptionally well. At the Asics Invitational, cold weather proved to be a challenging obstacle as the 1600 Meter race started the day out. Top runners Stephanie Honey and Rebekah Boekweg led the team with Rachel Boekweg following close behind. On the boys’ side Sheldon Shelley, Richard Craddock, Tyler Allen and Layne Carr finished within seconds of each other. Leah Gull qualified for finals in the 100 Meter Hurdle preliminaries with freshman Paige Francks close behind, barely missing the qualification mark for finals. The following event was the 100 Meter dash where Shyanne Ison led the team and Lexi Turley coming in shortly. In the boys’ 100 Meter Chaz Jorgensen lead the way with Shane Case and Luis Martinez nearby. In the next event, the 400 Meter dash, North Sanpete girls had a big showing as Lindsay Bradley, Haley Ence and Gull all qualified for finals. In the finals Ence took fourth, Bradley took fifth and Gull took sixth. “I think the team is doing great. It is one of the best seasons we’ve had in years,” said Jessica Lindow, a senior at NSH. Will Cruz had a good performance in the boys’ 400 Meter dash. Martinez and Case also competed well in this event. The 300 Meter Hurdles event was next. Liz Larsen and Francks qualified for finals. Larsen finished fourth in finals where Francks was just behind her taking fifth. Bradley and Ison both qualified for finals in the 200 Meter dash. In finals Ison took sixth and Bradley eighth. Jorgensen led the boys’ team in the 200 Meter dash with Cruz and Case close behind. In the Girls 3200 Meter run Rebekah Boekweg led with her sister Rachel Boekweg and Honey nearby. The Boy’s 3200 Meter run had Craddock running as the lone NS runner. He placed well among his competition.
The Girl’s Medley took fourth place with Danaya Morin, Larsen, Breanna Sadler and Allie Miller running this relay event. Ence took fifth place overall and Honey took ninth in the Girl’s 800 Meter run. The Boys’ 800 Meter run had Cruz and Spencer Henderson representing the team well. 4x400 Meter race had the NS Girl’s taking second place just behind Lone Peak. Jeremy Reber was in sixth place after finishing preliminaries, which qualified him for finals in the Javelin Throw. He finished sixth overall. Seniors Kathrine Kendall and Lindow both qualified for finals while Erica Ence found it just out of reach. Kendall finished fifth and Lindow sixth. Kendall and Lindow both qualified for finals again in the Discus Throw. Lindow finished in second place and Kendall in ninth. After all events were scored Lady Hawks finished in fourth place while the boy’s team didn’t place. The schools who beat the Lady Hawks were 4A and 5A schools. “As long as there are no injuries we will have a big impact at state,” said Lindow. The next meet attended was at Salem Hills High School. This was a small meet which prompted coaches to leave several key scorers at home. Starting the day off ff was the Girls’ 100 Meter Hurdle race where Francks took eighth. Sadler and Heather Fredrickson both scored points for the team in the 400 Meter dash. Francks took sixth in the 300 Meter Hurdles. Erica Ence competed well in the Long Jump where several NSH runners took a stab at the jumping events. Kendall, Megan Lindow and Erica Draper all helped the team by scoring points in the Discus Throw. Kendall also placed first in the Shot Put. Cruz and Henderson both scored points in the 800 Meter run. They were the only boys who scored for the NSH team. With only a few weeks left until region, both boys and girls are working together to achieve the ultimate goal of the girls taking region. “I expect us to take region. This year will be harder than the last few years,” said Track coach Scott Butler.
Despite a strong beginning, North Sanpete Hawk’s baseball team struggles to stagger back to their feet after many games ending in loss due to small errors. The team endeavors to stay strong with the enforced optimism of senior leadership in hopes of a successful season close. Plans to ameliorate in certain components of their game include focusing on improving on their batting techniques. The team would like to see an improvement in general performance, thus mitigating their small errors, and throwing the ball better. “I think that we’ll turn it around and start playing good [sic],” said Clay Anderson, junior of Fairview. According to Ben Davis junior of Ft. Green, their team is better than what the scoreboard shows. The season has been more of a challenge than he has expected because he thought the team was going to win more. “It’s kinda bipolar,” said Davis. “When our offense ff is working, our defense sucks; and when our defense is working, our offense ff sucks.” Davis believes that the

team will be able to turn the season around by playing intensely throughout the whole game. In the past few games, towards the fifth inning, the score of the other team always goes up and North Sanpete’s score stays the same. “It’s like the last couple innings, if they score, it puts more pressure on our hitters,” said Davis. “Hitting is not one of our strong points.” According to Anderson he believes the team will start playing better if they can just finish the game, throw the ball better and not make any errors. “We just need to find a way to win,” said Assistant Coach Adam Dyches of Mo-
roni, “The kids are trying, they just need to finish the game how they start. Generally, the mistakes and little things are what hurt us.” The defense has also made errors at some bad times— letting the other team literally slide their score in the last few innings of the game. According to Dyches, the coaches have expected more out of the team than what they have got, but he hopes they can turn it around. He would like to see their hitting and defense improve. Some of the team’s strengths that have been gradually improving throughout the season are that the line up is hitting a lot better.

3-D craze is gaining popularity in new movies BY ETHAN H ALDRIDGE Over the past few months, a very interesting phenomenon has occurred in theaters across the United States: the return of the 3D movie craze. Noticeably, most of the animated films (and some of the live action ones) that have been released recently have been in 3D—including such box office hits as Bolt, Coraline and Monsters v Aliens. In addition to these films are some older films that have been re-released in 3D, such as the Nightmare Before Christmas, Toy Story, The Polar Express and others. 3D films are nothing new; in fact, they have been around since 1922, with the very first 3D movie, The Power of Love. This movie is now considered a lost film, so
many aspects of the film are unknown. However, the medium didn’t gain wide acceptance with audiences until 1953, with the very first stereoscopic 3D film House of Wax. This was the first movie to use 3D technology with stereoscopic sound, making a unique and thrilling movie experience for audiences of the time. Since then, 3D films have gone through their ups and downs, having huge periods of popularity in the 1950s, the late 1960s and the early 1980s, with periods of dormancy in between. But now, the 3D craze has returned once more. New advances in the medium bring clearer and more realistic 3D effects, ff thus enhancing the movie-going experience for modern-day audiences all over the world. Part of the return of 3D is due
to those same technological advances. Older 3D films, due to the strange coloration, and how they were filmed, looked washed out and would even give some audience members headaches, or make them physically ill. Now, with new digital filming techniques, the picture is clear and the colors are normal. The advancement also eliminates eyestrain, ridding audiences of illness. Some people think that another cause of this return is the audience’s desire to more fully experience a film—to feel like they are inside the action. Peter Jackson, quoted in Time magazine, said “as a filmmaker, I want you to suspend disbelief and get lost in the film--participate in the film rather than just observe it. On that level, 3-D can only help.”

Fifth book in Maximum Ride series takes reader on an exhilarating ride
BY DANIELLE HARDY Title: Max Author: James Patterson Series: The Maximum Ride Series, Book 5 Pages: 309 My Rating: 4 ½ stars Max and the rest of the flock are back in this latest installment of James Patterson’s bestselling series. The story picks up right where it left off ff in the previous book, Maximum Ride: The Final Warning. Global warming is affecting ff the planet, and it’s up to Max and the gang to help spread the word and stop the illegal dumping of waste products. Every thing’s going as planned, the Erasers are no longer coming after them, and, for now, it seems that Jeb is on their side. Suddenly, a new villain shows up. They meet their newest threat while flying. A man with a gun attacked directly to his arm, in place of a normal hand, tries to shoot Max, but thanks to the warnings from the flock, the bullet misses her. After the close call, Max starts planning their escape to somewhere safer, if that even exists. But she
can’t leave her mother and half-sister, both of whom she has only recently met. Instead, she agrees (a bit reluctantly) to go to a special school, located in Utah. While they are there at the new school, Max gets some devastating news: Mr. Chu, the man behind the attempt on their lives earlier, has kidnapped her mother. Now the flock has to figure out where she’s being held and save her-- before it’s too late. From there, the story twists and turns, treating the reader to an exhilarating roller coaster ride. Just when you think you have everything figured out, guess again, because Patterson will soon be throwing something new at you. It’s part of what makes the series so good, and keeps the story fresh, even after five books. Patterson’s novels have been well known for years, and his Maximum Ride Series, which were originally aimed for a teenage audience, have only added to his fame. His books are written so that younger readers can enjoy them without the risk of running into adult content, yet they are so well written and interesting that just as many adults, including grandparents, are starting to pick them up, too. The books have everything you could possibly want, a little something for every reader out there. Combine the following all together and you have the perfect recipe for a very addicting series: high-flying adventures, witty conversations between the characters, a touch of mystery and suspense, a light dash of romance, and an interesting and unique storyline. And the good thing about the series is that if you do pick up one of the middle books, without reading the previous ones, you won’t be lost. Although it’s always better to read the books in order, it’s not required. Patterson does a good job at keeping the new readers updated on what’s already happened. However, once you try one of them, you probably won’t stop at just that—after reading the book, you will be compelled to pick up the rest of the books, anxious to find out what will happen next. But be warned: if you’ve been following this series from the beginning, and you were hoping that Max would be a sort of conclusion to it, you’re going to be disappointed. In typical Patterson style, Max leaves you on a cliffhanger at the end, ready for whatever Patterson is going to throw at you next time. On the bright side, this means that, for now, there is no definite end to this much-loved series.
