North Sanpete’s library will be receiving a new piece of visual interest this year with the completion of a literary mural.
Ethan Aldridge, a senior from Moroni, is in charge of painting the mural.
Aldridge has been working to improve his artwork ever since he could pick up a pencil. Just this year, however, he made plans to paintthe mural.
Nan Ault, a librarian at North Sanpete, was the first to want a mural in the library, but until now, she has had no way of accomplishing thisgoal. Although her first thought was to have the painting above the doors inside the library, she agrees with the new plans to place it on the wall located behind the new couch in the library.
Ethan is going to use oil paint for the mu-ral, and in order to protect the mural from wa-ter damage, as well as other complications that may occur on the wall, he is painting on wood-en boards. He is then going to attach the boards to the wall, so if repairs ever need to be done on the wall, the boards can be removed.
Ethan hopes that the mural will be finishedby the end of the school year and hopes to start as soon as possible. Before painting, however,many concept sketches and much composition work needs to be done.

Among the halls of North Sanpete, which is predominately LDS, there are many who are of different religions.ffff
In North Sanpete High there are just fewer than 700 students, with 64 percent of them enrolled in LDS Seminary. Even with this high number of LDS students, there is still a large amount of students who aren’t LDS. Some of these non-LDS students have found it hard socially to live here.
“My religion encourages dat-ing only people of the same be-liefs,” said sophomore Daniel Spencer.
He commented that even if he were to date other people, it would be hard because when peo-ple learn that he is of a different ffffreligion, they tend to back off.ffff
“If they get to know me be-fore they know my religion then we tend to have a better relation-ship,” said Spencer.
He thinks that most people just see him as a nice, quiet stu-dent, but occasionally he thinks that others think of him as a devil child. This makes it hard some-times to make friends, especially if the parents find out about his religion.
“It’s a lot harder to make friends with people; their parents
don’t want kids of other religions influencing them,” said Spencer
He wishes that this wouldn’t happen, because if the other per-son doesn’t argue or discuss with him then generally he won’t even bring religion up. Spencer doesn’t really like to have to argue about his religion with people.
“I am always willing to talk about religion, but I don’t force it on people, because if you force it onto people then it can cause contention,” said Spencer.
“If people want to talk about religion, then I am willing to ex-plain mine, but I won’t argue be-cause a calm conversation is bet-ter than words you can’t take back,” said Spencer.
Many people feel similar to Spencer in his willingness to talk.
“You find you have more in common with people when you are open and willing to talk,” said LDS Seminary Principal Troy Birch.
For some reason religion has caused contention and an-ger between people for centu-ries. Things from neighbor hos-tility to wars have been caused by it. Many people have views as to why this is.
“I think the reason there is an-ger between people of other re-ligions is because people don’t take enough time to listen to each
other, to see the similarities in the differences,” said Torri Egan.ffff
“The anger between religions comes because people are dif-ffferent, and when you believe in something strongly, and othersdon’t, it can cause contention,” said Birch. “There is anger be-cause how you believe how you believe is different from others.ffff
A common aspect of any reli-gion is the importance of family. Religions often encourage fami-lies. Spencer commented that ex-cept under special conditions his religion, Non-Denominational Christian, encourages the parentsto not divorce.
“Families are important,” said Spencer.
One of the biggest ways of be-coming involved in religion is through your family. If your par-ents are of a certain religion, then one will most likely be in that re-ligion, unless one chooses to join another.
“If you aren’t introduced to my religion at a young age then it is a lot harder to join.”
Even if you aren’t at a young age, it is still possible to join when you are older. Torri Egan joined her religion in Massachusetts. Before she became Non-Denom-inational Christian, she was Ag-nostic. She was searching for

On the sixth and seventh of March, North Sanpete continued its strong tradition of a two-night, public Prom.
The promenade, choreo-graphed by Linda Blackham to the song Iris by Goo Goo Dolls, was done in two seg-ments due to the large num-ber of juniors participating in the dance.
The queen and king of prom were Haley Ence, of Fairview, and David Bob “D. Bob” Bailey of Moroni, re-spectively.
The theme for the eventwas “A Night at the Ball,” and the decorations included two mock chandeliers and a stair-case surrounding the arch.
The participants seemed to genuinely enjoy the dance, and the entire event was an overall success.

Due to a shaky econ-omy, many institutions have experienced budget-ary cuts. North Sanpete is one of those institu-tions. NS will experience some monetary cuts in its budget this year, and pos-sibly more in the years to come.
One full-time teach-er was cut from the staffin the high school, one full-time teacher was cut from the middle school, and three full-time teach-

ers were cut from the ele-mentary schools.
Additionally, the budget was truncated by 6%, which equates to over a million dol-lars in the district’s budget.
The cut could have exceed-ed 6% were it not for Presi-dent Obama’s stimulus pack-kkage, some of which has goneto schools. Due to these cuts, North Sanpete saw the loss of its credit-recovery alternative school Sanpete Academy.
Sanpete academy, an alter-native school for high-school aged students, has regret-tably been closed down.
“It was a great program. It was a fantastic way to help students,” said O’Dee Hans-en, a counselor at North San-pete High.
The school was founded in order to help students with the recovery of credits that they are missing. The stu-dents could be missing their necessary credits for multiple reasons, such as attendance problems, behavioral risks or anything else that would pre-vent them from attending the regular high school.

something to lead her in her life.
Then she found this re-ligion and realized that it helped her a lot. To some people religion is a major part of their life. People have different ideas about what reffff -ligion is, but they agree that it is important to them.
“Most of what I value in my life and family is tied to my religion,” said Birch.
Others agree with Birch.“ I like how I live; it keeps
not so impulsed to do it, hedraws it first, and has studiesthat he does,” said Ault.
In order to encourage reading amongst the stu-dents, included in the muralwill be stylized, classical-lit-erature characters.
Also, different students fffffrom the school will be used as models for the mural.
“I’m really excited for the
dents who just didn’t fit the regular high school setting,” said Hansen.
The school was unfortu-nately closed down, due to insufficient funding. Without the proper amount of money, the school had no choice but to close its doors.
But now that Sanpete Academy is gone, what will happen to its students? The regular high school will take in those that were enrolled there.
Since there were only around 20 to 25 students en-rolled in the academy, the school is confident that they will easily be able to absorb North Sanpete High School’s new students.
However, many people at North Sanpete were sad to see the school go. Many saw it as a great alternative set-ting for students who could not function well in the usual high school environment.
“We are very sad to see it go,” said Hansen.
Due to this closure, the school needed an alternative to the alternative, thus they enrolled in the PLATO pro-gram.
Many juniors and soph-
omores have found them-selves in quite a bind thisyear, lacking the appropriate credits they need to gradu-ate. In order to circumvent the already-low graduation rate, the High School has en-rolled in a new credit-recov-ery program called PLATO.
PLATO is an online pro-gram, but it is different than ffffElectronic High School in that it is not accessible at any time, and it is not for gain-ing extra credits. PLATO is a program specifically de-signed to mitigate any stu-dent’s absence of credits.
For the moment, PLA-TO is being offered as a sumffff -mer course. The course will begin June eighth and will extend through July 1, ex-cept for June 10 and 11. The course will begin at eight in the morning and will last un-til one p.m.
O’dee Hansen, one of the counselors at North Sanpete, will be the instructor of theclass.
With the discontinuation of the Academy located in Ephraim, the need for this course became a rather im-perative thing, especially due to the low graduation rates and the lack of alternatives
for student’s looking to rec-tify their lack of credits.
The classes offered include ffffcategories such as math, Eng-lish, science and social stud-ies. The actual classes will cover the more remedial sub-jects such as algebra, geom-etry, world geography, biol-ogy, etc. The classes will be graded on a pass or fail basis, as opposed to traditional let-ter grades. Additionally, the class will cost $25 per quar-ter credit.
An important aspect of the course to understand isits nature; it is not a quick fix for anything. Each classconsists of three sections: instruction, application and
mastery tests. Before the unit can be completed, the student must pass each unit with 80%.
“You have to know your stuff,” said Hansen.ffff
Of course, the application of the course will change as it is used more in North San-pete.
Next year, for example, their will be a credit-recov-ery class offered for fourth ffffperiod, A and B day. Only 40 students will be allowed to take the class per semester.
If anyone is interested in learning more about the PLATO program, one can speak to O’dee Hansen in the counselor’s office.

So despite the many dif-ffferences between people and their religions, there are many similarities to be found in them.

On March 17th, a group of groggy students boarded the bus and set off for the Region ffSolo and Ensemble competi-tion at Emery High School.
Three students performed well enough to earn a place at the state competition. Ka-trina Jordan received top marks for her vocal solo, and Carly Chapman and Jesse Richmond were praised for
their Violin and Timpani so-los, respectively. However, only Jordan and Richmond will be able to attend the competition on April 25th.
Besides the state-bound musicians, both sections of the music department found success at the competition.
“All of our students showed a high level of mu-sicianship, and represented our school very well,” said Carissa Roberson, choir in-structor.
Seven students from the band received a “Superior” rating from the judges. Ad-ditionally, five performances, including the percussion en-semble, received an “Excel-lent” rating.
The choir students per-formed admirably as well. The vocalists received five “Superior” ratings, as well as three “Excellent” ratings.
Additionally, the judges praised accompanist Shirley Hilton for her performance with the students.

The rise in popularity of large screens and projectors has made the limitations of conventional Standard Definition TV (SDTV) increasingly evident. An HDTV compatible television set will not improve the quality of SDTV channels. It will make it even worse because of scaling artifacts. To display a superior picture, high definition televisions require a High Definition (HD) signal.
High-definition television (HDTV) yields a better-quality image than standard television, because it has a greater number of lines of resolution. The visual information is 2–5 times sharper because the gaps between the scan lines arenarrower or invisible to the naked eye. When you see 1080i, this indicates the dimensions of the TV are 1920 x 1080.
Often, the broadcast HDTV video signal soundtrack is Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound, enabling full, surround sound capabilities, while SDTV signals only use either mono or stereo audio.
It is important to understand that DTV (Digital TV) is not the same as HDTV (High Definition TV). DTV uses a digital signal to transmit the TV signal which results in a much clearer transmission than the traditional analog signal. However, HDTV requires a digital signal. This explains why many of the broadcast companies are switching their shows to HDTV at the same time the US Government is requiring all transmission stations to transmit digital signals. Eventually everyone will replace their older SDTVs with HDTVs.
Many HDTV providers find it necessary to compress HDTV to make more channels available. This results in a less than optimal HD image.
In our area CentraCom Cable television offers HDTV. You ffffcan now watch basketball in a way that is better than attending the game. CentraCom offers ESPN-HD that will ffffbe showing every heart-pounding shot in full, crystal-clear, uncompressed HD and crystal clear surround sound.

The times they are a changin’.
Everyone always expects that the fu-ture will bring hope—change—from the cur-rent sordidness of the everyday.
Yet, with each pass-ing day, month, year,I can’t help but feel a growing apathy toward the future.
With each day, I see the progression of filth—hate, greed, envy, despair.
We live in a throw-away culture where nothing is permanent.
When somebody thinks about technol-ogy, the common con-notation of the word is “efficiency”.
Nobody thinks about the repercussions of these labor-saving de-vices.
Gone is the tangi-ble permanence of ink wells and typewrit-ers. Gone is the sig-nificance of work and reward, where caution led to success and im-pulsiveness to failure.
One mistake equat-ed to hours of repair.
Now, everything is malleable, and if it isn’t, it isn’t “fair”.
We live in a world not of equal rights but
of special rights—a world of naivety and self-righteousness.
The American Dream is now not about work-kking toward something; it’s about the entitle-ment of what you feel you deserve.
The work of my fa-ther, or my father’s fa-ther, is the source of my credit. I am not an in-dividual; I am the cul-mination of my ances-try.
If I am born into wealth and beauty, I am entitled to it. If I am born into poverty, I am entitled to the reconcil-iation of that poverty.
Character is nothing, and what is work to a good name?
We live in a world where life is measured in dollar signs and sur-names, and where that name, that life, can be erased for the right price.
I do not mean to condescend by my say-ing these things; I am self-aware of my own frailties—of my own inclusion in this whole terrible affair. ffff
Today (March 25) is my birthday, and I am soon approaching the time when I enter the world as an adult.
But, I can’t help but
wonder what the defi-nition of an adult is.
To me, it seems as though being an adult means taking respon-sibility for your ac-tions—relying on in-dependence and having the cognizance to ac-cept your faults. Yet, I rarely see a good exam-ple of this.
I see so many peo-ple constantly hand-ing down blame. I see frivolous lawsuits from people trying their hardest to make fast cash.
I see overgrown in-fants groveling in the streets for someone to blame. I see overbloat-ed CEOs stealing mon-ey from hard-working people in order to sate their bottomless bellies and overstuffed walffff -lets.
I see AIG handing out government cash to its executives like lit-tle mints on hotel pil-lows.
Go ahead, give them more, we’ve plenty to spare.
We are all, intrinsi-cally, animals. No pre-frontal cortices can pre-vent the urge to thrive despite the suffering of ffffothers.
I, most powerful, I trade you this fire for
your camaraderie; I trade you this fire that we might steal fire from the rest of the tribe; I trade you this fire that we might see the look on the faces of the less-privileged as we plun-der their reserves.
They will steal our fire until we cannot see. They will close the doors of the learning institutions to deprive us of the most effulgent ffffof light: knowledge.
As mentioned earlier in the paper, and in the last edition, our budget has been cut.
The legislature ex-pects us to survive, as a district, with a million dollars less.
They expect our teachers to do more and receive less.
They expect us to be sufficiently versed in all subjects, despite the absence of teachers and supplies, so that wemay go to college, find ourselves in debt, and pay our pain away.
I can’t help but feel an immense amount of trepidation at my com-ing independence.
How will I, and my peers, afford to live ffffwhen prices continual-ly increase, while wag-es and job availability continually decrease?
I cling to the hope that we will take re-sponsibility for our-selves. That we, as a generation, will learn from the selfishness of our elders, and the boldness of the good, and grow into a class of limitless humanity.
I hope that the Amer-ican Dream might re-turn to its once-idealis-tic splendor—return to a dream of self-sacri-fice, work, and unity.
I hope that we can face each other and commit to making a change.
You can’t be stabbed in the back if everyone’s together, constantly looking forward.
In conclusion, I don’t mean to sound so preachy, nihilistic, and idealistic, but I am tired of sitting idly by as I stand in witness of a most-incorrigible truth.
We are the ones who will be in power in the near future, and I re-fuse to see that power abused in the way that it has been in the past.
Please, for the sake of our future, re-evalu-ate your present. De-cide who you are, and what you want. Decide the fate of the human race. Please?

Junior year offo ers many challenges for studentsffff
BY JY ESSE RICHMOND
Stormy times are ahead for the younger classes. The freshmen and sophomores may feel the first squalls of this storm, but remain un-aware of the real force it holds. The storm is junior year.
Ben Davis, Jessica Drap-er, and Lindsey Bradley all agree that their Junior year has been more difficult than their previous years in high school. Davis and Bradley cite worries about their fu-ture lives. Similarly, Draper says her troubles are caused by the fact that colleges fo-cus on performance in junior and senior year.
Ed Staker, the junior class advisor, is also aware of the juniors’ strife.
“I think there is a tendency for the junior year to be load-ed with heavier classes,” said Staker. Additionally, Staker says that juniors that gradu-ate early are prone to more stress and trials than others. Eric Johansen agrees that his college classes make this year harder than others, and Lind-sey Bradley says the same about her AP Biology class. On a side note, Ben Davis
says that Dr. Wright’s English 11 class is as difficult as any college class, even though no college credit is offered.ffff
Fortunately for these stressed-out upperclassmen, they have support if they need it. Draper and Davis say their friends give them the greatest support through en-couragement and agreement, respectively.
Bradley says she receives support through her parents, though she is also motivated by the eligibility guidelines for sports.
Despite their troubles, Staker says that working with juniors is an interesting expe-
rience.“They’re like sophomores
with added maturity and without the senior trunki-ness,” said Staker. Staker de-scribes “trunkiness” as thedesire seniors feel to final-ly leave school. However, he also says that all classes tend to experience some degree of “trunkiness,” which otherscall spring fever.
In short, the juniors will have their struggles. How they face them varies, as well as the results. However, after all the strife, the juniors will find themselves with only one year left of school, the calm after the storm.

At the young age of 12 Trevor Miller be-gan to play his first instrument, the piano.
“No one really taught me how to play, I just taught myself even though it sounds con-ceited, but it’s the truth,” said Miller.
The piano was the very first instrumentthat Miller learned how to play, but it was cer-tainly not the last one. Miller now also knows how to play the guitar, one of his favorite in-struments to play.
“I really enjoy playing the guitar when everI get free time”, said Miller.
Miller is currently taking some music classes at N.S High. Two of them include gui-
tar and advanced guitar.“He is a good kid and has a lot of talent,”
said Timothy Kidder, band teacher.Another music class that Miller is taking is
choir. He is not only a good pianist and guitar player, but also a good singer.
“Trevor is an incredible talented kid. He works hard in my class and adds a lot to the choir,” said Mrs. Roberson.
Skateboarding is another thing that Miller loves to do.
“I used to skateboard everyday but now I don’t do it as much”, said Miller.
As for Miller’s future he plans to go to some music school and also learn how to play the drums.

One of these sugary drinks won’t hurt, but how much is too much? And are students beginning to abuse it?
“[The drinks] are more common then they should be,” said Ken Michie, a senior from Moroni. “Those drinks are carbonated and they kill the body.”
Although a lot of students don’t drink caffeinated beverffff -ages often, they all have their reasons.
“I drink a pop when I want to stay up and do some-thing,” said Erika Ence, a se-nior from Fairview.
Ence, unlike most teen-agers, usually only drinks a highly energized beverage before she does something
active. A lot of students will just
get one for something to drink.
What they don’t realize is that this unused energy turns to fat.
Jeff Ericksen, the health ffteacher at the high school, sees some issues with theamount of sugar students areputting into their bodies.
“I think there’s an obe-
sity problem in the nation and our school definitely has one,” said Ericksen.
Obesity isn’t the only problem caffeine is causing.ffff
Ericksen also believes that the average student drinks to much caffeine. ffff
Caffeine is a stimulant ffffsimilar to nicotine.
It increases the action of the central nervous system which in turn, increases yourheart rate.
The larger the dose of caf-fffeine, the faster your heart beats.
“It causes too many prob-lems. It’s kind of like a drug... it’s addicting,” said Michie.
Where caffeine is an adffff -dictive substance, one drink only leaves you wanting more.
“I feel good after drinking Mt. Dew,” said senior, Reg-gie Clawson. “I want anoth-er one when I’m done. It’s re-freshing.”
The more students drink soda pop, the more money they have to spend on them.
Nick Tidwell, a sopho-more from Mt. Pleasant, says he spends about $50 a week on sodas and sport drinks.
According to Ericksen, the easiest way to help fix these problems is to get ridof the soda machines or at least keep energy drinks out of them.
He also believes that thesubject needs to be discussed further in health classes sothat students know exactly what they’re doing to their bodies.

Athlete of the month:
NS athlete has a love for running, pain
BY VY ALERIEVV DE MILL
Running for seven straight miles isn’t what most people would do for fun. However, Stephanie Honey isn’t like most people.
“I like to hang out with my friends, talking to people and believe it or not, I like to run,” said Honey. “Some-times [running] hurts, but it makes me happy. It’s like an
escape.”Because of her love of run-
ning, Honey has joined both the cross country team and the track team and has been very successful in both.
She has set new school re-cords in four different track ffffevents; the girls’ 3200 meter, 1600 meter, 800 meter and was one of the four girls whohelped break the record for the girls’ medley relay.
Although she has had much success in her running career, it hasn’t always been easy for Honey. During her junior year of the cross coun-try season, Honey had to stop running because of injuries. She had a stressed fracture in her femur, and the growth plate in her hip was separat-ing. Even after a year of re-covery, Honey is still having problems with her injuries.
“She’s had to overcome ad-versity in her career, but she’s capable of working through any kind of challenge,” said Honey’s Head Coach, Bill Bedford. “She has a very positive attitude.”
So what kindled Honey’s interest in distant running?
“I wanted to do something, like an activity and hang out with my friends,” said Honey. “[At first] I wanted to sprint
because it looked easy, but I totally sucked. I thought long distance runners were just slow and couldn’t sprint, but they are actually tough.”
Most people would agree with Honey, running for sev-eral miles is tough. The prac-tices alone can be difficult. Honey agrees that the prac-tices can be hard, but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t love it.
“My favorite [practice] days were running the lon-gest distances, which were the hardest practices, with my senior friends,” said Hon-ey. “We’d always find some way to make it fun.”
Teammates also enjoy Honey’s being on the team.
“She makes it fun. She’s so freakin’ awesome and fast,” said junior. Nia Ricks, a teammate of Honey’s.
Even though Honey brings a lot of fun to the team others feel that she has othergreat qualities as well.
“One word to describe Stephanie is amazing,” said fellow teammate Liz Larsen, senior. “She brings a lot of leadership. She’s someone to look up to; she’s dedicated.”
Coaches also agree with Larsen.
“She brings leadership to the team,” said Bedford. “She’s a good influence on younger team members.”
Honey has worked very hard, not only at running, but in her schoolwork andother activites as well. She is a member of the Nation-al Honor Society and part of the Seminary Council.
“I’m a math and science nerd,” said Honey. She says she enjoys most, if not all of her classes this year. She also loves being a senior.
“It’s been fun getting to know my own class better,” said Honey. “I think our se-nior class is crazy, but we’re all crazy together. It’s awe-some.”
Even though graduation is coming up soon for Hon-ey, she still plans to further her education and continue running. She will be going to Southern Utah University where she hopes to be on the indoor-track team, the track team and the cross country team.
Honey has been a big as-set to North Sanpete’s suc-cess in both track and cross country.
“Steph is one of the most gifted athletes I’ve ever worked with,” said Coach Scott Butler.
Even though her high-school years are soon com-ing to a close, she still hasher last year of track season,where she hopes to do well and have fun.

Boys’ soccer faces challenge and loss, down 4 up 1BY CY ALEB CHRISTENSEN
The North Sanpete soccer team has started the season offffwwith a struggle; they have won one game and lost four.
Th r ey have recently played Gunnison. According to junior Bradley Holman, they could have won, but they just didn’t
play the first half as well as they should have. Th e score at theend of the game was three to four.
m Even though the season hasn’t started out so well, the teamr has improved. Holman says that they have improved on their
bball control they have also improved on their passes. One of the strong points that the team has is in their de-
fense. Junior Jacob Lumus says that the key to their good de- fense is Marcos Murillo and Holman. He says that the have
speed that helps them with their defense.“Marcos kicks like a cannon,” said Lumus.The team has a new head coach this year Mauricio Mon-
tano the team likes him as a coach. Lumus says that he neveryyells and is just a good coach and that he knows his stuff.ffff
“He knows what he is talking about,” said Holman.
Girls’ golf team begins new season with three returning athletesBY VY ALERIEVV DE MILL
With the spring sports sea-son in full swing, the second season of girls’ golf is now in motion.
Although the team hasn’t competed in any tourna-ments yet, they are still work-kking hard in practices. For most of the players, it is their first time on the green.
“My little sister talked me into [playing golf ],” said Ja-mie Shelley, senior. “I picked up my clubs for the first time three days ago. I think it is fun.”
Shelley isn’t the only one new to golf though.
“We have 11 girls on the team, but only 3 returning players,” said Coach Todd Hansen. “Last year, being the
first season, the scores were really high, but after some practice the scores tapered. They’ve done really well andcut their scores in half.”
Hansen expects the girls to improve their scores this year as well.
“This year the scores will be way competitive,” said Hansen. “Some of these girls are picking it up quick.”
So what made these girls decide to try golf ? For most of them they thought it would be fun.
“My dad loves golf so Ithough I’d try it,” said a new senior to the team, Nallely Montano. “So far I like it.”
Montano isn’t the only one whose family members started them in golf.
“My brothers have golfed,”
said Raberta Garlick, a re-turning junior on the team. “Once they got a girls’ team I thought it would be fun to try it.”
The team has spent their time at practice learning the basic golf techniques at Sky-line Mountain Resort’s golf course. Their first golf tour-nament will be at Spanish Oaks on Friday, March 27th. They are not quite sure how the season will turn out, but still hope for the best.
“I just hope we make it to state,” said Hansen.
Teammates are just has hopeful as Hansen.
“We will hopefully get to the state as a team this year,” said Garlick.
If they don’t make it to state as a team there will
most likely be a few individ-uals who will make it to the state tournament. However,

scoring high isn’t what most of the girls are concernedabout.
“I don’t expect to win, but Iexpect to play my hardest,” said Montano.

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, the snow has meltedand the birds are singing; do you know what that means? It is time to gear up for another thrilling season of Lady Hawks Softball.
The Lady Hawks Softball team has been one of the more prestigious sports programs at North Sanpete in recent mem-ory.
Winning just as much or more than any other team inNorth Sanpete High School, and they don’t show any signs of
slowing down. The team be-gan the season with a strong performance against Rich-field, crushing them 12-5.
“It was good to start the season with a win,” said se-nior catcher, Nicole Gordon, who went yard with two peo-ple on base.
In addition to the good start, various improvements are also being made in order to ensure future success.
“Looking at the first of the season, we’re pretty much just picking up where we left off, ffffso all we can do is improve,” said senior right-fielder, Jes-sika Seely.
With all of the improve-ments being made, expecta-tions couldn’t be any higher for this year’s season.
“We have a lot of talent and should go far. We have poten-tial to be in the top three in the state” said Gordon.
There are three seniors returning from last year’s squad, with plenty of experienced underclassmen to help the cause.
“We have some strong underclassmen; they are a huge part of our team,” said Erika Nielsen, senior left-fielder.
The season looks promising, the team has been unstop-pable thus far, and with a closer, newly-installed home-run fence, let’s hope that our Lady Hawks will be shuffling around the bases even more.

and is even looking beyond region.
“I think we can play with anyone in the state,” said Cox. “We should be able to make some noise at the state tournament.”
The Hawks also held a match against the Wasatch Wasps last Tuesday and had

The boys’ tennis team kicked off their season by ffcompeting in the Blooming-ton Country Club tourna-ment where they compet-ed against twelve different ffffteams.
The boy’s beat Snow Canyon with a 3-2 win and South Sevier 5-0. The tough-est matches were against 4A Pine View and Morgan who triumphed over the Hawks 1-4 and 2-3, respectively.
Michael Lewis, senior and the first singles player for the Hawks, was first matched against South Sevier and dominated with a 6-0, 6-2 win. His only loss was against Pine View, but he forced the match to go into three sets.
In second singles Park-kker Earl, senior, was also vic-torious over South Sevier and Snow Canyon, but suc-cumbed to Pine View and Morgan.
Tucker Morin, a junior on the team, is third singles for
Boy’s tennis team excels despite minor losses, places fourth at tournamentthe Hawks. He was the only team member to beat Pine View with a score of 6-3, 7-5. His only loss came from Mor-gan, but he forced the match to go into a third set.
Derek Erickson, junior, and his brother, Hunter Er-ickson, sophomore have teamed up to play first dou-bles. In their first two match-es they were successful, but lost to Morgan and Pine View.
Playing second doubles for the team this year is Jer-emy Garlick, senior, and Kel-ton Rasmussen, junior. These two beat Morgan and South Sevier, but had a hard time keeping up with Pine View and Snow Canyon. In their match against Pine View they lost in a tiebreaker.
“It was kind of depressing because Jeremy and I could have won,” said Rasmussen.
With only two losses at the tournament the team was able to place fourth overall, which is the highest place the boys’ tennis team has re-
cieved for many years at this particular tournament.
“We played pretty well,” said Head Coach Jeff Erickff -kksen. “We’ve got some good experience coming back [this season].”
Not only did the varsi-ty play in a tournament, J.V. entered the Summit Tennis Challenge and took secondplace.
Chad McKay, senior, and Cameron Sego, freshman, played doubles and went through the tournament un-defeated. Three other fresh-man boys really stepped it up at this tournament as well, Caden Birch played singles for the fist time and Stephen Lewis and Kyle Anderson played doubles.
“[This season] we have new players and new excite-ment on the team,” said Er-icksen. “We have some fresh-man who can hit the ball well already.”
But the new players aren’t the only ones who are new to the team.
“I’m really excited to have our new Assistant Coach Ben Cox,” said Ericksen.
Cox is a former Hawk ten-nis player and has returned as the assistant coach for the boys’ tennis team.
“I just love tennis. I have always loved tennis,” said Cox. “The guys on the ten-
nis team are fantastic. It’s fun to hang out with them , they make it enjoyable.”
The team is looking for-ward to a great season and they have good expectations.
“I think we will be vying for a region championship,” said Ericksen.
Cox agrees with Ericksen

Baseball plays well, places at two weekend tournaments
BY CY HANA THOMPSON
Baseball season at North Sanpete High began the season at a Richfield tournamenttwo weeks ago on the 13th and 14th. The boys took second overall at the tournament win-ning two of the three games. The final scores of the games were 3-0 against South Sum-mit, 12-0 against Millford, and a loss of 8-11against Park City.
According to Taylor Ricks senior of Fairview, it took awhile for the team to get comfortable and mentally stable, but the team did better than he thought.
Minor injuries were obtained while at the
tournament, taking out second baseman Jay-son Nielsen, junior of Ft. Green for the rest of the tournament Saturday. Also Ben Davis,junior pitcher from Ft. Green, was injured by being hit in his arm and couldn’t practice for a week.
Despite few injuries the team easily man-aged to pull through. Some highlights from the tournament consisted of two home runs and Kyle Sorensen pitching a shut out against Millford. Kenny Rawlings senior from Mo-roni, made one home run and the other was made by Taylor Ricks.
According to a few players on the team, Ricks’ home run was ‘sick’; apparently he hit
a car going by on the freeway when he hit the home run.
“We kicked A at our first tournament,” said Trevyn Tucker senior from Fairview.
The tournament set the bar high for a suc-cessful season. The team continues to prac-tice toward making it as far as region.
With the season at a new beginning the boys strive to work as a team. A few strate-gies that the team has made preparing for the season include throwing, going to camps and going back over basics to refresh their memo-ries.
“I try to teach them the fundamentals,” said Head Coach Lee R. Sorensen, “Teach
them how to pitch the ball right, batting tech-niques, and how to run the bases.”
The varsity players can be seen practicing on the baseball field from 3:30 until 6:30, the players practice hard to maintain physical fit-ness and strengthen their weaknesses.
According to Kyle Sorensen senior of Fairview some of the teams strengths include really good pitchers, good defense and good offense. ffff
Some changes they will make for this year is utilizing small ball, bunting more, and get-ting on base more.
“I think we need to use more strategy and steal more bases,” said Ricks.
According to Sorensen if he could name a weakness the team has, it would be how young the team is. But this weakness doesn’t have a large effect upon the team because ffffmost of the younger athletes are really good.
When faced with weakness the team knowshow to stay positive and has good leaders to help retain a good attitude. Patience and hard work are both fundamentals in baseball.
“You get out of the sport what you put into it at practice,” said Coach Sorensen.
According to Coach Sorensen the team will make it to the state play offs. He believes ffffthe team is very good, they have good team leadership and everyone gets along really well.
The team looks forward to winning and facing all of the competition.
“Its going to be a great year, it will be fun to see how they do and where they will end up,” said Coach Sorensen.
Last weekend at the Gunnison tourna-ment the Hawks faced the challenge of a bad start.
Their first game against Gunnison was a loss of 4-5 because of small errors. The only win at the tournament was against Milllard 3-1, and the last game against Park City end-ed in loss 0-6. They lost 2 of the 3 games but the boys felt as though they played well.
North Sanpete’s track team performs well at a recent track meet despite lack of participants
BY BY RANDI PEAHL
The NSH Track team traveled toSalem Hills recently for their first meet, where they had several peo-ple win their events and the girl’s took the overall win.
NSH did not have anyone run hurdles or the 4X400 meter race.Running these events would have added a considerable amount of points based on last years returning runners. North Sanpete won with83 points against region rival Sa-lem Hills coming in fourth with 40
points.The 100-Meter races started the
day with several good performanc-es, for both boys and girls. The team did not score any points in this event.
“Short sprints are an-other weakness and we are working on trying to change that,” said ScottButler, a track coach at NSH.
Girl’s distance showed promis-ing results as four out of the top five finishers were from NSH, beating cross-country rival Salem Hills. The boy’s team also showed solid per-formances as young runners Shel-don Shelley, Richard Craddock and Christian Carr led the team.
“I thought I would be good at [distance],” Craddock, a freshman of Mt. Pleasant who shows much potential.
Stephanie Honey won the milewith her teammates close behind.
The 400-Meter followed with
Lindsay Bradley winning the event and Shyanne Ison followed behind.
NSH had two teams running the 4x100 meter race with no intention
of trying to win ac-cording to Butler.
“We just consid-ered it a training day,” said Butler.
After a difficult hand-off in the ff4x100 Meter race
putt one NS team slightly behind, Haley Ence was able to catch up, putting the team in second place. Haley Ence won the 800-Meter run with school-record hold-er Honey finishing with a close sec-ond place.
The Medley teams ran the fast race finishing with Payson High just in front, getting second and third places.
Young runners ran closely be-hind Ison and Bradley who got third and fourth place in the 200-Meter dash.
The 3200 Meter run finished offthe running events with Rebekah Boekweg winning the event and Kody Kleven coming in second place.
NSH has a lack of jumpers and had sophomore Alisha Chamber-lain test out the high jump. She showed the team’s need for more jumpers to help contribute.
On the throwing field seniors Jessica Lindow and Katherine Ken-dall led the way, taking the top two spots on the Discus Throw and Shot Put. Megan Lindow took third in the Discus.
“[The team] is exceeding expec-tations and it’s really gratifying,” said Butler.
The girl’s team is paving the way for the season while the boy’s team lacks numbers.
“I hope to see our boy’s team build,” said Butler.
The team will travel to the PineView Invitational in St. George next Friday.

Title: The Hunger
Games
Author: Suzanne Col-
lins
Pages: 378
My Rating: 5 stars
What would you be will-ing to do for someone you love? Would you step for-ward to take their place, knowing that you would be walking to your death?
Katniss Everdeen may be only sixteen, but she’s had to provide for her mother and younger sister ever since her father died. She is used to surprises, but after four years of having her name entered for the Hunger Games, the one thing she wasn’t expect-ing was for her twelve year old sister’s name to be called. Worried for her sister’s safe-ty, she runs forward and of-fffers up her life instead.
Set in the future, in what used to be North America, The Hunger Games shows the readers a whole new world. Instead of the 50 states, Panem (the name of the ‘country’) is composed of the Capital and the twelve districts.
Everything has changed, and even though the Capi-tal has new technology, the rest of the districts have been forced to live in conditions similar to the distant past.
For seventy-four years, Panem has been holding the Hunger Games annually, pit-ting the districts against each other.
Two tributes, one boy and one girl, are chosen from each district and taken to the Capital to fight in the are-na, which is pretty much a semi enclosed area of wilder-ness. For the next few weeks, all twenty-four participants must try to survive with very little food, supplies, and shelter. As if that wasn’t bad enough, they have also put traps and other obstacles in their way, and the other com-petitors will kill you without a thought.
For the winner, the prize is great—money, food, a place to live for the rest of their life, and their district will re-ceive extra supplies for the next year. But for the losers, the Hunger Games can only mean one thing: death. All broadcasted on live TV, no
less. For a futuristic society, Panem seems to have revert-ed back to ancient Rome and the time of the gladiators.
Katniss doesn’t want to die, but as the Games go on, she realizes that her chance of returning home to her family is very slim. The other trib-utes are being killed quickly, and she knows that it is only a matter of time before the strongest ones finally get her, too.
But suddenly her chance of winning goes up whenthey change the rules of the games.
This year, it’s possible for there to be two winners, but only if they are tributes from the same district. This means that Katniss will have to put her stubbornness aside and form an ally with Peeta,
whom she thinks betrayed her and joined the Career Trbiutes’ group. Little did she know, Peeta has been se-verely injured, and the only way he’ll be able to make it is if she can get to him on time and try to heal him.
The Hunger Games is a very intriguing novel, onethat will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end.
A perfect read for anyone, from the reluctant readers to the die-hard fantasy fans, you’ll find yourself pulled into the story from the very beginning—and it will only let you go when the last pagerolls around, leaving you wanting more of Katniss’s world. Unfortunately, the se-quel, Catching Fire, won’t be out until later this fall.
The Hunger Games is a futuristic novel that shows readers a whole new world
