After three months of waiting the NBA season starts tonight with the Western Conference favorite Denver Nuggets taking on the dreadful Utah Jazz. The Nuggets have almost exactly the same roster that took them to the Western Conference Finals a year ago. Parker native Chauncy Billups and Carmello Anthony are leading a cast of experienced players, as well as rookies just out of college. One of the Nuggets new additions this year is highly touted rookie Ty Lawson out of national champion North Carolina. Which dominated Duke twice last year on the way to being the best team in the nation. I am calling the Nuggets to crush Kobe Bryant and become the Western Conference champions.

This sports season is in full swing, The teams are doing good too. The 6-7-soccer team is 2-2 a good even record so far. The 7-8-soccer team is 1-4, an ok record but we can do better. The girl’s field hockey team is 1-3 a good record they won for the first time in 5 years! The volleyball teams are doing good as well they have good records. I think the teams will finish off strong.

Dance Baby Dance
By Ian Rudiger
The dance was a dance like nothing before. When Stephanie the middle school counselor, Susan the head or middle school, and the head of the school Tim Barrier delivered an amazing Thriller in honor of Michael Jackson death. It was a fun filled dance from Low by Florida to slow dances by Taylor Swift it was a great opening dance. I want to give out a huge thanks to David the D.J. who did a wonderful job with lights and songs. It was fun filled dance with some twist and turns and one dang good play lists. It was a fun dance with awesome songs and lights.
A preview of the typical Stanley dance is what I will tell you. When you walk in you give the receptionist your 5 dollars for a fundraiser that is ran by the Stanley Student Counsel. You give the 5 sweaty dollars to the receptionist and bolt in to a room to find a huge round dancing on a huge hard wood floor. I walk in not knowing what to do but then you get right in to it and dance the lights shine on you as the disco ball spin around you glare at it in awe, and say to yourself this is the best night ever.

3-4-5 TEACHER ON THE MEND
By Jack Longenecker
3-4-5 Teacher on the Mend
3-4-5 teacher Allison Neckers is recovering from a stroke that she suffered in early October. When a person has a stroke the main symptoms that they have are, numbness in their limbs, intense dizziness and extreme confusion. Allison was immidiatly rushed to the hospital where she was diagnosed with a minor stroke. Allison was in Michigan at the time of the stroke and is recovering there in Lancing where most of her family lives. For those of you that do not know Allison has one arm and has to use her other one for everything. Some doctors believe that stress in this arm contributed to her stroke. This would have increased the chances of blood in her arm clotting which is what causes a stroke. We all hope for a speedy and safe recovery for Allison Neckers.

Haunted Houses
By Ian Rudiger
Haunted houses are scary I will put it that way; there is no other way to put it. They are made to be scary and they are made for nothing else. My question I’m going to write about is haunted houses over rated or not. I have been to a couple in this Halloween season and the question I have are they really worth it. I have heard people say that are not scary or they are overrated so that is why I bring this up. Amusement parks and different places/arenas hold these haunted houses, and spend thousand and thousands of dollars on them but there is no point if people don’t like them.
I think that the one that a went to was called Bloodlust witch was not that scary because they spent so much money setting up a scary pop out people, so when they do try to scare you are ready. I thought they tried to hard to scare you and didn’t realize how easy it was. I overall thought it was ok they spent to much time on a body parts room and a spotter house that is want that scary.
There was another one at Elich Garden that was good it was called the Suffering. I think this was a very good haunted house it was scary and the first part of the haunted house was very scary and made you want to run out side and not go no further. They mad amazing scary costume and the design was amazing but the best of all, was the acting they would fallow you and scare you from behind and at the end they chase out with an ongoing chain saw. It is fill with screams and thrill and is definitely scary.
The last one I’m going to tell you about is a haunted house called the 13th Floor this haunted house is not for kids. I have heard it is scary but I think by looking at videos and hearing people talk about this haunted house, what I heard was it is scary but it is not worth the money the creators put in to it. The question I come back to is, is a haunted house worth spending lot and lot of money on well I say no. The reason why I say no is because it doesn’t take much for people to get scared and if you can achieve that by not spending much money then I think you will make money and will have a good haunted house. It doesn’t matter if it is scary or not the point is if you can scare someone then there is no point in spending more on you haunted house. I think that the haunted house industry would do better if they made there prices lower but made the haunted house cheaper and better, it would be better for all of us and that is what I think about Denver’s 2009 Haunted Houses.

Entering Alphonso Smith to the Denver Broncos
By Kate Schlegel
Alphonso Smith number 33 is a new corner back for the Denver Broncos. Alphonso Smith grew up in Pahokee, FL and went to Pahokee high school. Alphonso attended Wake Forest University in Winston Salem, North Carolina. Alphonso Smith’s responsibility on the field is to catch the ball when the apposing team kicks it to the Broncos, Alphonso has to try to run and make it as far as he can get with the ball, Alphonso also can catch it or can get a touch back which means you automatically get to go to the 20 yard line, without trying to run. My dad and I met Alphonso Smith at my brother Connor’s (17), Kent Denver football game. The reason Alphonso smith was at the game was because a freshmen on my brother’s football team’s (Stoe Fargloth, his real name is actually Dallas Fargloth) stole’s mom Heather is somehow good friends with Alphonso smith. Alphonso Smith to me is an exptional player and also kind nice and respectful. I also met Alphonso’s girlfriend Brittney, she is pretty and nice just like her boyfriend. I hope that Alphonso Smith will be with the Bronco’s for some time now. The reason I was lucky to meet him is because my dad Ted Schlegel is the Bronco doctor, and travels everywhere with them. My dad is an orthopedic surgeon, and fixes up shoulders knees and elbows, at the Steadman Hawkins Clinic. When my dad and I were walking past Alphonso Smith and his girlfriend he realized my dad and said “hey doc how’s it going.” I hope Alphonso Smith will keep his game up on the broncos so that I will see him a lot on the football field

From an Icy Slope, To a Medical Miracle
By Ian Rudiger
Speeding down an icy slope at many miles per hour, falling down on a very icy slope and having a body temperature of 56 degrees. This is what happened to a woman from Norway and it is true story. When I read this article I was amazed I thought it was a miracle. I thought she must have had a super power or something on the lines of that to come back to life. But no it was not true. Bagenholm had survived one of the most tragic ski accidents ever. When she was brought on helicopter to the University Hospital of North Norway her body temperature was 56 degrees and there had never been someone whose body temperature was that low that had survived for that long. Bagenholm was a very good skier and was going down when she her ski got tripped up by a rock, she spun to the left and fell tumbled and got stuck in ice a wile down in a icy slope craves. Her friends panicked as they skied down to see what had happened they called for help to get a helicopter and more rescue crew and so two rescue members came one from the bottom and one from the top. They got there in time the top rescue member got there first and did not have proper equipment to be able to help much; the second rescue crew member that came from the bottom had a small shovel. They used it to cut a hole in the ice big enough to get Bagenholm out by rope.
It was an amazing thing that day that changed that woman’s life forever she still lives to tell the remarkable story today. This happened in 1999 but the reason I’m sharing this is because what happened changed lots of medical theories and other things like her life. What happened changed everything from the slope that still has a shovel hanging from a tree where it had happened to the writing that got changed in a college medical journal.
The reason why I think this is so important is that one little slip could change someone’s entire life. That is why this is such a big deal is that a what happened on that day wasn’t just one single miracle what it means is that person would not be with us today if it wasn’t for that miracle then Bagenholm wouldn’t be with us today to share the story and ski the amazing slopes of Norway. The lesson that I learned is to never give up on someone.
