Regatta, a term mosttypically used to describethe meeting for boat races.And surprisingly enough,many residents of TwinFalls, including those of theCanyon Ridge High SchoolWrestling Team, took placein an event such as this inthe recent 2010 summer.

The boys of CRHS gatheredup their cardboard scrapsand headed for DierkesLake, right here in Twin Fallson the morning of August22nd.

The wrestlers took onthe challenge to design andconstruct a human musclepowered boat madeentirely from cardboard,capable of racing a 200 yardcourse three times. Theresno way of describing howhigh the anticipation andecitement was that hotday in August unless youwere there to eperience ityourself.

As the morning of the

22nd arrived and regattaracers were puttingthemselves in the zone,

many spectators werealready anticipating thedays event. The roadleading down to ShoshoneFalls was eperiencingbumper to bumper trac

jams and the parking lot atDierkes Lake just wasnt bigenough to accommodateall the parking cars. The 35entered teams had nothingbut a shabby audience; infact, almost 500 peoplecame to cheer on andshow their support forthe competing teams. In

fact, the crowd cheeringon our CRHS wrestlersbrought their crimson andsilver for support and lefta memorable impressionreecting greatly uponCanyon Ridge pride. verthe summer the wrestlersreally tried to get involvedin many dierent activitiesin order to make a bondwithin the boys and builda better team, Coach

ehrson tells when askedwhat inspired the boysto enter the race. Not

only did this event showhow involved our fellowRiverhawks can be, but italso went to a greater causeby raising at least $3,500to go to the Twin Falls AreaChamber of Commerce.

Surprisingly enough,the contestants placementin the race did notdetermine their nalstanding in the contest.Chamber ambassadorswalked around the park

judging the teams on theappearance of their boats

and the teams theme.any teams decided to

go with an animal themedboat, along with dressingup in quirky outts andridiculous boat namesto catch the judges eye.

The boys of Canyon Ridgehowever, put togethertheir cardboard boat in theshape of a sea monster andpainted it green, putting alasting impression on the

judges.So, if you nd yourself

wishing you would have

been there to see ourwrestlers in action, fear not,because more than likelythe cardboard regatta racewill go down as one of themany new Canyon RidgeHigh School traditions.ehrson wasnt shy to tellus that he would imaginethe boys will enter againnet year and how muchthey actually enjoyedthemselves in the recentsummers race.

The boys had a lotof fun and theyll take any

opportunity they get thechallenge the Twin Fallswrestlers, commenttedCoach ehrson Inconclusion, when itcomes down to it; neverunderestimate the powerof cardboard. Because, asthe CRHS wrestlers proved,a little cardboard goes along way!

Am I the only onewho cringes when I hearwhat is on the radio in myfriends cars? As I listen tothese thoughtless songswith bad voices singing,terribly simple guitar anddrum parts (if real peopleare even playing them),and meaningless conceptsin the lyrics, I cant help but

wonder where the musicworld went wrong. Theearly nineties seemed tobe the nal period of greatmusic.

I have never been afan of grunge rock, and Istill strongly believe thatthe birth of this genre wasthe beginning of the endof quality mainstreammusic, but even this putsthe biggest bands of todayto shame. Even fans of popmusic, such as Senior, KellyAnn Buddecke, admit this.

When asked whetheryoung musicians are astalented now as they havebeen in the past, even she,a fan of new music saidsimply, I must admit thetalent level has dropped.

op is now full of hip-hop and rap, which requiresonly one real musicianto rap and a DJ to sit andwatch as the record plays.unk rock is possibly thebiggest scam mankind hasever seen, with its three-chord, awful-voiced sound.I hate punk says SageBaar.

There is a positivemessage in all this chaos.Seven of the top tengrossing summer tourscame from classic rockbands! What does thismean? At very least thepublic still knows, for themost part, who needs to beseen live and who needs tobe ignored.

pinion:what has

happened

to the

music

As the 2010 CanyonRidge school year opens,fall sports take centerstage. Beginning practicelong before school started,players and coaches havebeen preparing for aremarkable second season.

The boys soccer teamhad an amazing entranceinto the season this year,destroying ocatello 6-0,but as the season has goneon, the team has struggledwith numerous things.Canyon Ridge has switchedformations from a 5-3-2, toa 4-3-3, to a 4-4-2, searchingfor the one that would workbest for the squad. Theyve

had to overcome strugglesof mideld getting backwhen counter-attacked,and with defense beingstructurally sound. JuniorSuren Thapa says, We needto nish the shots and passquicker.

With districts comingup, the only way theRiverhawks will win is by

overcoming their biggestproblem this year, the quickcounter-attack.

The girls soccer teamhad a rough start last yearwith a record of 1-12, butcame out this year readyto play. The team recruitednumerous athletes newto the sport, along witheperienced players thatwere able to help the team

out in a major way. The teamhas already accomplishedmore wins than last year,and can epect more winsto come.

The football teamstruggled with their rstseason last year, with arecord of 1-7. They havealready achieved as muchas last year, after winning

their rst game against Filer.The team has improved a lotsince its beginning year andthe change is obvious.

Last year, Jeromeannihilated the Hawks 70-3,but this year, the Riverhawksbattled the Tigers losing

just by two points, witha score of 24-22. Theyvetriumphed over a lot ofsetbacks since last year and

keep on progressing. The volleyball team

came out this yearcontaining the sameintensity as last year, buthave encountered a lackof unity. The team lostseniors fromlast year,and gainedi n c o m i n g

f r e s h m a nthis year.

With anew coachon top ofthat, manyfrom thevarsity squadhave alreadyleft theteam withno intention

of turning back. We havelost a few players in the lastcouple weeks, and its beenhard. We really need torebuild our team chemistry,said sophomore EmmaStephens.

Friday night, September10, 2010, the tension washigh, the stands were ull,and the crowd was loud.Sparks few as the gamewas played with intensecompetition. Everywhereyou looked, there werestudents, teachers, parents,and ans romboth sides o

town. Manywere actingmature andriendly aboutthe game andrivalry, butwhere somewent aboveand beyond, aew rom bothschools ell short.

As I walked to theconcession stand andwaited in line, I noticedstudents rom both schoolsacting civil and treating

each other nicely, but thenI couldnt help but noticea ew rude comments andlooks passing to and roma ew rom both schoolsstudents. I wouldnt have

dared to go over to the TwinFalls High School side o thestadium wearing a CanyonRidge shirt much like Twinstudents wouldnt havecome over into our stands.

However, I noticed mostpeople going out o theirway to be nice to studentsrom the other school. Manyo the students have riendson the other side o townand besides some riendly

jest and joking,they still acted

mature. MeganL o u n s b e r r y ,a sophomoreat Twin FallsHigh School,remarked, Thereis rudeness onboth sides butit was mostlythe immature

people.It is mainly riendly

competition. Both CanyonRidge and Twin Falls aregreat schools and bothstudent bodies proved

that while some peopleneed to grow up, the mainpart o both schools areopen to riendly and politecompetition.

Dont buy intoall the hype. Boise Statewill not be the nationalchampion o 2011. Thisis not because they dontdeserve it (they do), it isntbecause their schedule isnot tough (it is), or evenbecause they wont goundeeated (yet to be seen).It is or the simple reason

that whether we like it asBronco ans or not, the BCSwill NEVER let our belovedteam into the top two atseasons end.

Mark my words-even i Boise State runsthe table again they willnish the regular seasonin the same number threespot they started it in.Ohio States schedule isabsolutely no better thanthat o any WAC team,so a prediction or an

undeeated Buckeye teammay be imminent.

The other teamthat is ahead o the Broncosis Alabama. I believethey will lose this season,dropping them behindBSU. However, there area ew teams who couldeasily jump us with notmany people to questionit even i they had oneloss. Nebraska, Oklahoma,Florida, Texas, and Alabamathemselves could ll this

spot. Somebody on thatlist is bound to go 12-1,and the choice or the BCSwill be easy. Will they pickBoise State, the new kidon the block with slightlyless money, or a traditionalpowerhouse that will assurethese greediest o humanbeings a ew million intheir pockets? Dont counton the Broncos to make itthere until a playo systemis rmly in place.

This year most o the allsports had tryouts the rstweek o August, resulting ina number o them startingbeore school. Some o the

sports started a ull monthbeore school,is this good oris this wastingyour summer?

I think thata sport startingthis early reallyhelps theteam along.It gives theteams morepractice timeand allows the team tohave practices twice a day.

This allows the team to get

more amiliar playing witheach other, so I think this isvery benecial or the teamsport.

On the other hand itmakes it seem like yoursummer is shorter because

the sport takes out a montho your reedom. Oncesports start they are a bigpart o your lie. So aresports worth starting early,or would you rather have alonger summer?

Cierra Ehlers, a juniorat Canyon Ridge HighSchool, plays volleyball. Her

v o l l e y b a l ls e a s o ns t a r t e d

just abouta monthb e o r es c h o o lstarted.

E h l e r squotes, Thegood thing

about starting the sportsseason early is you get toknow your team matesbetter, and you get moreplaying time with them.Ehlers also said that shedoesnt like it running intoher summer. Maybe urtherinto the summer we will seei the extra practice helped.

There are a number oobstacles around Twin Falls

right now. For instance,most o Washington isunder construction. Inaddition to that, there arestretches along with FallsAve., Harrison St., DierkiesSt., North College, Poleline,and quite a ew side roads.

Washington is morethan likely the road withthe most work being doneto it, and it may also be thebest looking when it is allnished.

Everyone is ready orall the commotion to be

nished. Well I think itsgood theyre doing it, butthey were supposed to bedone by the end o summer,so it is annoying and it takesme so much longer to get toschool, states Kyla Rogers,Junior.

On the other hand,construction workers eelthat when constructionseason is over they wont

be able to nd another job.Some like Twin Falls residentMelvin ODell states, I amtrying to be riends with theboss and work close to himso I can be one o the rst toget hired next season.

Although its a hecticdrive right now, Twin Fallswill look so much betterwhen its all said and done.Washington St. is comingalong very well.

Hal o it is nished andlooking amazing. NorthCollege in ront o CRHS isgetting a little tricky. Youcouldnt even tell you weresupposed to be on thatside, said Melody Larson,

Twin Falls resident.Be patient students,

parents, teachers, and all Twin Falls residents. It iscrazy and annoying, butit will be worth it when itsover.

Drive sae and dontgive any constructionworker the nger or it notbeing done. Just be careuland kind; it will be overbeore you know it.

Riverhawk Review - Twin Falls, ID - Tuesday, October 5, 2010News 3

This years PASS room changes

My goal is to helpkids feel valued so theyvalue themselves and val-ue the opportunities theyhave, remarked Mr. Coul-son, the temporary PASSroom advisor. As the for-mer director of PALSTEPfor Lincoln and PerrineElementary Schools, heis very passionate about

working with at risk kids.I like to work with at riskkids and want to help kidsmake the right choices,he exclaimed. Mr. Coul-son wont be the PASSroom teacher for very

long as he will becomethe Student Support Spe-cialist for Canyon Ridge.

The PASS room haschanged immensely overthe summer. It has beenmoved downstairs to atiny room to the side ofthe lunch room. Its small-er space makes it evenmore unattractive to stu-dents who might visitthroughout the school

year. The new location isa little tough to nd, butits closeness to the lunchroom makes it easier forPASS room kids to helpwork in the cafeteria.

Some policies at Can-yon Ridge also changed

over the summer. Threetardies still equal an ab-sence and a tardy thatexceeds ten minutes iscounted as an absence.Four tardies, however,mean an early Wednes-day morning detention,and not showing upresults in a visit to thePASS room. Eight tardiesin a class result in twoWednesday morning de-

tentions and failure toattend results in anothertrip to the PASS room. Tentardies in a class means awasted Saturday and ano show means anotherticket to the PASS room.Fifteen tardies in a class

results in an attendancecontract, possible loss ofcredit, and the PASS room.

Truancy almost al-ways results in PASSroom. The rst truancy of-fense means a parent no-tication and a day in thePASS room pulling weedsand mopping oors. Thesecond truancy oenseresults in another parentnotication and two days

in the PASS room. If par-ents havent slaughteredthe student yet, a thirdtruancy means anotherparent notication andthree days in the PASSroom. A fourth truancy re-sults in WISE and possible

expulsion. Even thoughthe teacher, the location,and a few policies havechanged, the PASS roomis still a bad place to be.Show Canyon Ridge prideand follow the rules.

teacher, Mr. Pete Coulson happy tobe helping the kids.

Construction, its everywhere

Due to construction in Twin Falls, Idaho, its hard

to get anywhere, let alonein the school parking lot.Parents are getting up ear-lier to take their children toschool, workers are takingalternate routes to get totheir jobs, and everyone islooking forward for the daythat construction ends.

Senior Andrew Sapiencomments, I think theyshould just do one road ata time instead of tearingeverything apart at once.Construction on Washing-ton Street began in Aprilof 2010 with a plannedending in July. The new ex-pected completion date isin December of 2010. Manybusiness owners have alsosuered from the construc-

tion. So as each day of con-struction continues, peoplebegin to grow angrier andtheir patience levels drops.

Another issue with the

construction is its hard foranyone to gure out wherethey are go-ing. TeacherMrs. Blaksleestates, Thisconstructionis driving mecrazy! Im al-ways hopingsomeone isin front ofme knowswhere theyare going

because Inever knowif Im on theright side ofthe cones!

W h e nthis con-

struction is nally over, peo-ple are going to be happyto continue with their nor-mal, stressful lives withoutdetours taking them some-

where they dont want tobe.

Trac issues expand as Canyon Ridge students try to

get home in the afternoons during construction.

Oil spill progress

On April 20, 2010, anoil rig exploded in the Gulfof Mexico resulting in 17injured workers and 11more presumed dead. Paul-rademacher.com states that,this explosion caused thedischarge of over 500,000gallons of oil daily. The in-cident has also resulted ina price rise in sh and oil allacross the world, even hereat Canyon Ridge. Studentsand teachers have foundthat they must pay more for

gas in order to get to andfrom school as well as sportevents and activities. BritishPetroleum, better known asBP, is the company respon-sible for the well.

BP made multiple at-tempts at stopping theleak. Their rst attempt wasmade on May 7, when a 98ton containment chamberwas placed over the leak.Unfortunately, the cham-ber was clogged by frozenhydrocarbons and wasrendered useless. Follow-ing this failed experiment,BP put forth many moreeorts. The next eort en-tailed a method of cloggingcalled a junk shot, whichinvolves dumping shreddedtires and golf balls into thewell. Later, BP attempted to

plug the well using a topkill, or the process of pump-ing heavy liquids and other

material into a leak. Unfor-tunately, neither of theseattempts succeeded, but,luckily, BP thought to startpumping some of the oilonto ships using a four-inchtube placed inside a 21-inchpipe.

On June 4, BP had itsrst major success in slow-ing the spill when theyplaced a cap over the valvesthat were originally intend-ed to prevent leaking. Thisreduced the leakage by

50%, and the ow was basi-cally blocked following theimprovement of the cap onJuly 13.

BP started pumpingconcrete and mud into theleak on August 2 in hopesof permanently sealing thewell.

Madge Hansen, a cur-rent Twin Falls resident,states, BP did a lousy job. Ittook too long to gain con-trol. Dwight Tucker says, Ithought the situation was

handled well. It could havebeen worse.

As of now, the oil leakhas been mostly stopped.Despite this good news, thewell must be closely super-vised to prevent any furtherdestruction.

The poor economyis something everyone in

Twin Falls is aware of. Ev-ery business in the MagicValley has been forced toadjust to the nancial crisisthat the United States hasundergone so far. Familiesaround the Magic Valleyalso have to cope with thehigher prices on everything,especially where school isconcerned.

The budget cuts inschool have dented the ath-

letic funds across Twin Falls.Every student athletes par-ents have heard the termsfund raising and spirit pack.Many kids are involved inmore than one sport, caus-

ing the parents to have toscrape the bottom of thebarrel to come up with the

mandatory price.Academic related pric-

es are even soaring as theschool supply lists get lon-ger and the prices on themandatory supplies soar.Families with more thanone child suer as the tallyrises with the supplies andclothes needed for schoolsbeginning. The budget ef-fects are aecting everyschool and every family inthe Magic Valley.

Clubs at Canyon Ridge

are also suering with thebudget cuts. Increased en-try fees have made it hardfor some students to join.Many clubs work hard forcharity and with lower bud-

gets, its hard to make endsmeet in the club withoutintense fund raising. Most

students have to do at leastone or two fund raisersthroughout the school year.Many of those students ndit hard to fund raise andstill actively participate insporting and extracurricu-lar events while keeping upwith homework and school.

The economy is aect-ing hard working families,athletic teams, academicfunds, and clubs at CanyonRidge.

Adjustment is tough

but possible is most cases. IfCanyon Ridge students andteachers stick it out throughthe tough times we canmake this year the best de-spite the falling economy.

Residents of Twin Fallsanxiously awaited the open-ing of the 2010 annual CountyFair. There were many eventsand rides this year includingghtrope walkers, The Ballof Death, game vendors, anda hypnost show. The new

rides included Super Loops,and a new Ferris wheel. Oldfavorites returned like the Pi-rate Ship, the Kamikaze, andthe Zipper. There was some-thing for everyone at the fairthis year.

Advanced cketswent on sale for $3. At thegate, prices were $4. Thenone had the opon of buying

single ckets for the rides oran all day pass for $30. Someagree that the all day pass isworth the money. JanessaMendonca (Junior) comment-

ed, Well, I would say yeahonly because if I bought indi-vidual ckets for every ride Iwould have spent a lot moremoney.

Some individualsdont go to the fair for therides; they may go to the fair

just to walk around or go seethe hypnost show. At thebeginning of his show, thehypnost stated that, Hyp-nosm only works if you letyour mind be open and relax.

Many people go to the

shows to watch others do cra-zy stu under hypnosis. EvaSite (Junior) stated, It was re-ally funny, and just amazing,when she watched the show.

Many also enjoyedthe ght rope walkers. Agroup of four men and a sixyear old boy took the dan-gers of ghtrope walking andturned it into an amazing

show. One could tell they hadpracced and developed astrong roune with each oth-er. You have to watch theseguys! They are amazing. It

gets beer as the show goeson, stated an excited KirbyBridges, Twin Falls resident.

Next to the ghtropewas the Ball of Death, wheremotorcyclists take the risk ofdriving around in a ball withup to four bikes compeng forspace at a me.

These adventurists takethe dangers of riding mo-torcycles to the next level.These guys are really goodtoo. I think they get up to fourguys in that ball and its really

cool. Id like to do this some-day, Kirby stated about theBall of Death.

If you didnt get toenjoy the fair this year, sckaround it will be back nextyear. Go enjoy the rides, ven-dors, and events. See theworlds largest pig or the ni-est horse; just enjoy the TwinFalls County Fair.

BLM ghts re near Hagerman

The BLM re nearHagerman left snowakelooking ashes falling all dayin Twin Falls on August 22,

2010. If you went outside,your clothes would smelllike a campre. The sunlooked like a big bright redbouncy ball in the sky.

The re burnedabout 328,000 acres.Around 556 Fireghtersfought the blazing re.At one point the re wasburning up to 15 acres perminute. The Departmentof Environmental Qualityreported that the airquality in Magic Valley wasunhealthy.

Karly Hudelson, a junior

at Canyon Ridge HighSchool, had a softball gamewhile the ash was falling.

The air quality to Hudelsonwas very poor and it madeit hard for them to breath inthe hazy air.

My family was going togo camping that weekend,but the re was by wherewe were going to go quotes

Taylor Ehlers, a senior at

Canyon Ridge. Ehlers alsoquotes, I was really upsetthat we couldnt go, the rewas just too bad.

The re did breakpower poles, and burnedup land at the base of windturbines. The wind turbinesstayed standing though.

The re did come to a haltat 8:30 p.m. on August 22,2010.

As school gets back insession many parents aredeciding to hold their little

ones back another year. Notbecause they dont want tolet them go out and explorethe world, but simplybecause the kindergartencurriculum has becomemore dicult for thetoddlers. Some parentswant them to have anotheryear of maturing beforesending them o, whileothers nd it unnecessary

and think their child will dojust ne. Boys are more likelyredshirted because of theirmaturity level, as well as theratio between high and lowincome families.

While some parentsbelieve that the childrenwhom are redshirted,have a slight betterperformance academicwise, some teachers foundthat students are testingat the same level as theirclassmates that startedKindergarten at ve insteadof being delayed until six.However some studies done

in 2006 deemed that olderkids in each grade werealmost 10% more likely tocontinue their educationinto the 4th year of college.While their younger peers

may not make it that far.Another study found

that the age at which a childenters Kindergarten hasno eect on how they livetheir life as an adult. That isbased on personality andhow they react in certainsituations. However kids,who do enter Kindergartenat an older age, do have 1%more chance of dropping

out as opposed to theiryounger peers. This may bebecause they reach the legalage to drop out without anyquestion faster than theyounger teens.

As redshirting may ormay not benet the child inquestion, it is based uponthe parental beliefs. Theyknow more about theirchildren, but they do needto take into considerationthe costs and potentialbenets it may have on theirchild.

The walls at CanyonRidge are crying, or at leastthey seem to be sheddingtears. During the rst year ofschool, the walls at CanyonRidge were overcome withwater due to weak sealant inthe breaks. According to Mr.Dickinson, The bricks haveto be resealed. The sealanton the walls right now is notstrong enough to hold upto the water coming in fromrain.

Beniton, a localConstruction Company

hired to build Canyon RidgeHigh School, is responsiblefor any warranty failures.

They will come back tox any problems at noadditional cost to CanyonRidge. CRHS senior ColeFlinn comments, Theyneed to have dierentbuilders next time, and theyshould have better walls.Another senior Kylie Tammesaid, Since its a brandnew school it shouldnt beleaking already.

The resealing process

has to wait until sometimethis fall when the outsidetemperature is cool enoughto allow for the sealant toproperly set.

Four Twin Falls teenswere recognized on August27 by Twin Falls Sheri TomCarter for their eorts insaving a home during theAuger Falls re on July 22nd.

The four friends includethree Canyon Ridge seniors,Kelly Ann Buddecke,Whitney Bell, and ColtonSweesy, and a Twin FallsHigh Senior Stela Saltaga.

The friends werepresented with CitizenService Awards for theireorts in putting out three

What do you thinkabout our studentsbehavior in the classroomsand hallways? What doyou think it should be like?Kylar Moore, freshman, says

I think it is pretty good;there is a lot that can beimproved on though. Oneof the biggest problemsour school has is tardiness.

There are simply way toomany tardies. You as aperson are fully responsibleto be on time for school andclass.

Being late to class isntthe only thing our schoolhas a problem with. JacobGroesbeck, freshman,thinks that dress code isa big issue. Which is very

true, so look in your studentplanner (agenda book),and gure out what thedress code is and obey it!Disrespect to teachers isnot tolerated and you canexpect a hefty punishmentfor doing so. Another

problem that is evident inthe hallways is excessivePDA, so in school keep it toa minimum people!

Nancy Humberger,teacher, says the majorityof the students in the hallsare good, there is some liplocking that cant happen

at school. There are meanand intimidating peoplethat drive me crazy too.She also says, When thereis language, I go up to thestudent and ask if theywould say that around theirgrandma, that usually keepsthem, quiet. So its prettysimple, dont do PDA, benice to people, and dontuse bad language!

The economy is falling;people are losing jobs, and

those who still have jobsare nding their salariescut by incredible amounts.All of these budget cuts arenow aecting schools andteachers; the students arealso now feeling the eectsas well.

The loss of money forschools equals the loss oftime for students as well.While some students areexceedingly excited aboutschool starting later andgetting out earlier, otherstudents are not as happy

about it. Kayla Boomhower(Senior) thinks that schoolstarting later than previousyears is a good thing. Shesays, I like the way it startedlater than normal. It madethe summer longer, and

were going to be done withschool sooner.

Although the majorityof CRHS students havethe same opinion as

Boomhower, othersstudents such as SarahBrierley (Senior), dont thinkthat the school year startinglater was such a good thing.I think it kind of sucksbecause all of our breaks arecut short and we dont getthose occasional days othat are awesome to havewhen dont feel like wakingup early. she commented.

The later start of theschool year and fewerbreaks during the yearare aecting quite a few

people.Although some arehappy about this late start,others are not. No matterwhat time of the yearschool starts, someone willbe eected.

Riverhawk Review - Twin Falls, ID - Tuesday, October 5, 2010Features 5

New restaurants to chaseaway famished feelings

To eat or not to eat? Thatis the question many of usface on a daily bases, andif youre anything like theaverage CRHS student, youranswer will be to eat.

While many of us have ourfavorite places to dine out inTwin Falls, I think its time toput those favorites in thepast and try something new.

Needless to say, alongwith summer 2010, camea wide variety of newrestaurants that could easilysatisfy the taste buds of anymagic valley resident.

Another vital questionone needs to ask themselvesbefore making a decisionon dinner is, mild or hot?Yes, you probably guessed

that the establishment Imtalking about is BualoWild Wings; one of the mostrecent additions to TwinFalls eating selection. Notonly is this a great place tosatisfy the aching in yourstomach for some wings,

but also a great place tocatch the game on one oftheir fty TV screens in therestaurant. Get it to go,grab a quick bite there, or sitdown and enjoy the uniqueatmosphere of watchingfellow diners attempt theblazin challenge.

Not quite the wild wingsfan? Well, if this is the casefor you, I bring great news ofanother new establishmenthere in Twin that goes bythe name of Jamba Juice.Not only does Jamba oersignature smoothies andpastries but also organicoatmeal and parfaits.

As if these all naturaldrinks arent impressingenough, there are extraboosts that you can add intoyour drink such as: energy,immunity and much more.

So if youre in the moodfor something light, dontsecond guess your instinct,make the choice to go toJamba Juice and know youdid something good for thatbody of yours.

As if smoothies and wingswerent enough to keep

Twin Falls diners busy, wealso have a recent additionof the restaurant known asthe Burnt Lemon. Here youcan get burnt lemonade in

just about any avor youcould ever imagine.

Aside from the famouslemonade, you can alsochoose from a wide varietyof entres that range fromsalads to burgers and wraps.

After receiving yourfood you have the choiceof eating your food insidethe restaurant, or taking itoutside where they have asmall patio area overlookingthe beauties of AddisonAvenue.

Theres no telling thatwhere ever your stomachtakes you this year, youre

sure to nd happiness in thefood you consume. So toall of you who take pride inyour dinner, stop by any ofthe new additions in TF, youwont regret it!

Each and every schoolhas a group of leaders whotake care of the schooland the students. They areknown as Student Council.

These elected ocialsmake events happen andkeep everything runningsmoothly.

Even though they

are working hard underpressure with a tight budgettrying to make our studentexperience a great one, theywill accomplish the tasksthat need to be done.

The leader of the pactBraden Coleman, studentbody president, says, Ihope to accomplish manythings, I would like to unifythe students, and get schoolpride. I want to get morekids involved. High School

is a time to become involvedand spirited, it shapes oneinto whom they want to be.Student Council is trying tomake this happen to helpeveryone get together, andmake our school better.

Vice president JakeWarner says, I plan to helpBraden with any task heneeds, I will also probablybe the one who talks to allthe kids.

To become moreinvolved, students areencouraged to attenddances, assemblies, andmany more events thatare scheduled. In order tomake all this happen thereneeds to be money. Whentreasurer Jennifer Drysdalewas asked what she doeswith the money earnedduring the year, she said,Alot goes to events we planfor Homecoming, also

money goes to pennies forpeace, and we paint therock.

Student Council is a wayto become more connectedto our school and students.Student body Secretary,

Taylor Brown exclaims, Iwrite down everything, andI keep everything organizedso its not a mess. A teamlike this could not functionwithout organization and a

strong secretary.Finally, when the school

is in order and the studentsare taken care of, studentcouncil also needs to feelappreciated and that isthe job of the Senators.Speaker of the student bodysenators, Morgan Rugglessays, We help out withanything we can, and wesupport everyone.

Riverhawk Review - Twin Falls, ID - Tuesday, October 5, 2010 Features6

High school can be thebest time in a persons lie,but it can also be the worst.One just has to know how

to survive it and make it un. The frst way is to just

be nice to everybody. Dontgo around judging peopleor making un o peoplebecause what goes aroundcomes around. Eventuallyyou will be the one thatis the butt o all the jokes.

The second way is to just keep on homework.

It will make high schoola lot easier just doingthe work and get onthe teachers good side.Getting the homeworkdone allows people toget good grades andparticipate in many moreun activities. Homeworkreally doesnt take that

much time i you just do it,

says Austin Schmall, junior.The third way to survive

high school is to get involvedin sports or activities. Sportsallow new people to meetand learn new skills that

are lie changing. At frst,I thought I wouldnt enjoyschool activities, but atergoing to a basketballgame I changed mymind, says Nik Roundtree(Junior). Being involvedin activities give senses oaccomplishments and willmake high school more un.

The ourth and mostimportant way to makehigh school un is to fnd agroup o riends and stickwith them. Friends willkeep people out o troubleand never let people eellet out o the group.

So get involved andollow these rules andhigh school will be a more

successul experience.

Another year o earlymornings and late nightsflled with homework andsporting events awaitstudents as the school yearbegins. Students comingback to school alreadyconsume at least a cup o

coee to stay awake duringmorning classes. Studentscame back to Canyon Ridgeto a great aculty and sta.Mr. Dickinson, Mr. Gemar,and Mr. Hicks welcomedthe students back toschool and laid down therules or the reshmanand returning students.

Students enjoysocializing with theirriends but many arentenjoying their classes.Kieer Starks, a sophomore,remarks, Its bittersweet.

I love summer so much,but I think it is good to be

back and see all my riendsagain. Many o CanyonRidges students agreewith Kieer and enjoy onlythe social aspect o school.

Teachers are alreadybusy assigning piles ohomework. Math homeworkis given out almost everyday in every class withoutail. Students cry out inagony and terror; the worldcrashes down upon thespeck entitled Twin Falls.Students and teachersalike ee rom overdoseo math homework.

Even though studentsdont want to be back tolearn and sit in class orat most o their daylighthours, school goes on andthe students must endurethe long, slow, and painulhours o class. Teachers andstudents alike are enjoyingtheir return to school

or the frst ew weeks.

As the new school year

unolds, recently licenseddrivers are unleashed uponthe rest o the school.

This may not be the worstthing, but when you addthese overly confdentkids to unneeded roadconstruction, there can onlybe one outcome: disaster.

School starts early inthe morning, and thereare a lot o drivers thatarent ully awake. This can

lead to running stop signs,

red lights, and eventuallyaccidents. Brittani Eppershad this to say when asked

about student drivers, Theyscare me, and Im happythey passed the law abouttexting and driving because

it makes me eel saerknowing that some people

actually ollow the laws.One o the best

ways to avoid trac inthe morning is to takeGrandview and go toNorth College Road andit will lead students saelyto CRHS. This may be theastest and easiest way,but just be warned thatsunglasses are almost a

necessity to travel this route.

Everyone needsto watch out or these frsttime calls on the road, i you

dont want to get hit, thendont drive next to them.

Im not trying to benasty about this issue, but

the younger a person isthe more likely they are

to get into an accident.Everyone needs to

watch out; the police arepatrolling the schools morethan ever. They are lookingto hand out more tickets thisyear due to the economy.So try not to give them areason to pull you over.

Try to be sae,and do not text and drive.

Taking precautions now,

can prevent an accidentrom happening later.

Seniors, as your fnalyear starts, you may beasking yoursel where youplan to spend the next ouryears o your education.Many students have adream to go to Boise StateUniversity, but rememberthere are more options outthere.

University o Idaho,in Moscow, has greatacademics. So i you arelooking or a school to goto or things like agriculture,lie science, and agriculture,business and economics,engineering, graduatestudies, law, social science,natural science and manymore then you should checkout the University o Idaho.Get online at www.iudho.

edu and see what they haveto oer.Idaho State University,

in Pocatello, also has greatacademics. I you want tostay a little closer to home,

look into this university.ISU has a number odierent programs suchas arts, science, business,education, health,pharmacy, technology,inormatics, and research.You can fnd more at http://www.isu.edu/.

Boise State University

also has a great deal oprograms to choose rom,along with a great ootballteam, so i you want to stayclose and be in a bigger citylook into BSU. Go online towww.boisestate.edu to lookinto all the opportunitiesBoise State has.

University o Idaho,Idaho State University, andBoise State University areall great schools, it justdepends on how ar romhome you want to go andwhat you want your career

to be. The universities havemany opportunities toincoming students so getinvolved in your uture andmake the choice that is bestor your success.

Even through budgetcuts and the economysituation has devastatedthe Twin Falls communityour new school is able tohire new teachers in thesecond year o Canyon

Ridge High School becausesome teachers let andCRHS added over a hundrednew students. Some othe new teachers includeMrs. Buckley, Mr. Davis,Mr. Brower, Mr. Hammlett,Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Mikota,Mrs. Dolecheck, and Mr.Alsterlund.

Mr. Alsterlund is thenewest o our PE teachershere at Canyon Ridge.When asked why he chose

our school he responded,PE/Health jobs are hard tocome by, but Canyon Ridgehad the perect opportunityor me. Because o hewanted to stay in Idaho, hechose CRHS; we are lucky tohave him here.

Mr. Alsterlundsfnds that, The majorityo sta members andadministration are peopleriendly, and they have goneout o their way to makeme eel comortable and atease. As or his students, hefnds them great and veryeager to learn.

On a warm summerday on June 22, in Auburn,Washington (just outside ofSeattle), the familiar screamof Bruce Dickensons air-raid-siren voice makes adent in the volume of theecstatic crowd. Scream forme, Seattle! And that theydid.

Dream Theater openedthe night up, blasting intothe china-cymbal-heavyAs I Am and playing a

blistering 45-minute set.As great as they were, thesomewhat laid-back groupof metal heads knew thiswas not the real reasonthey had gathered at this20,000 plus seat venue. TheGods of metal were in thebuilding.

The spaceship stagelit up and became a UFOalong with some darkclassical music, and outwalked Adrian Smith withthe powerful opening ri toThe Wicker Man. The set

was based on mainly songs

from their last four albums,but the highlights were

the brand new El Doradoalong with the RonnieJames Dio-dedicatedballad, Blood Brothers. Theend of the set was whenthey decided to break outthe classics, such as Fear ofthe Dark, The Number ofthe Beast, and Hallowed Be

Thy Name. These were theones that really brought thehouse down. The mascot,Eddie, made an appearanceduring their title song, IronMaiden, adding to thealready incredibly energized

crowd. The light showthroughout was unreal,and the stage presencefrom every member isunshakable to this day.

I wish they wouldhave played The Evil ThatMen Do comments IgorJozelic, but he claims it stillwas the best show ever.Concert goer extraordinaireand CRHS teacher, MikeRidgeway, said The energywas higher than at anyother concert I have seen,that made it the best.

This is one farewelltour that will not soon beforgotten. I was honoredenough to be in attendanceon August 24 for one of thenal dates that Germanysmost legendary band, theworld-renowned Scorpions,

would ever play in NorthAmerica.

Jackyl opened up thethree-act bill. During theirrst few songs, mainly fromtheir new album WhenMoonshine and DynamiteCollide, the audience wasless than excited, but asJackyl broke out the hitsand began running intothe crowd and jumpingon tables, they won overthe 21,000 people inUsana Amphitheater andearned a standing ovation.

They ended their set bydestroying a stool with areal chainsaw during theirsignature tune, LumberjackSong.

Tesla, normally aheadlining act, was in themiddle on this night. They

broke out some classicsthat satised the oldercrowd such as Love Song,Modern Day Cowboy,and Mamas Fool, whilekeeping the younger crowdentertained with uniquemelodies from their newestmaterial.

The main act of thenight oered an absolutely

insane set full of 30-footdrum risers, unreal laser andlight shows, and 60-year-olds playing a more high-energy and better-soundinghour and a half of musicthan even the best groupfull of youngsters. The newalbum, Sting in the Tail,broke three songs total intothe set, and they playedalmost all of their countlessenormous hits. Wind ofChange, Blackout, No OneLike You, Tease Me, PleaseMe, Big City Nights, and

MTV, as most of usknow, stands for Music

Television, but as this TVstation grows older, it tendsto stray further from whatthe name advertises. Is MTVstill MTV?

MTV was establishedin 1981 with the intentionsof changing the musicand television industries.Over the years, MTV hassucceeded by heavilyinuencing mainstream

music and by helpingintroduce many popularartists, such as Nirvana andLinkin Park. However, MTVhas lost track of its motives inrecent years. In the mid 90s,MTV started introducingnon-music related shows,such as The Real World,to their broadcasts, andthis dilemma has beencontinually getting worse.

Today, MTV focuseson reality shows, such asJersey Shore and Made.

These shows have become

extremely popular, which

has resulted in less time

dedicated to music itself.According to www.mtv.com, MTV only broadcastsmusic videos for six hours inthe middle of the night. Ifone happens to be an owl,or some other nocturnalcreature, one might decideto tune in to MTV between3 a.m. and 9 a.m. for somehigh-quality, mainstreammusic videos.

What do viewers think?When asked his thoughts onMTV, Nik Rountree (junior)says, I havent watched MTV

for ve years. I liked when itplayed only music. MakalaJohn (junior) says, I like thechannel. There are a lot ofshows that revolve aroundhigh school life, and someare just really interesting towatch.

In most minds, MTV isno longer a music-based TVstation. However, its showsare still very popular andavidly enjoyed. Should MTVbe renamed RTV to supportits decision of broadcastingmostly reality shows?

When school ends,summer begins and thatmeans the beginning of thelong awaited hot summermovies. One of the mostanticipated movies of thesummer was The TwilightSaga: Eclipse. Fans took abite and agree that Eclipseis to date the best in the

Twilight franchise. It waseven a movie that guyswho like action could goand watch. It wasnt a lovelled romance like the othertwo, but instead it hadwerewolves teaming upwith vampires battling it outwith an army of vampirescalled the newborns.

As every year, moviesthat are sequels or secondmovies excite fans. One thatdid a great job was Iron Man2, created from the Marvelcomics. They brought backRobert Downy Junior andsuited him up as Tony Starkfor a new adventure. Therst lm was one of the

most acclaimed moviesand brought out lots ofexcitement and energyfrom the audience. Thesecond feature lm waseven more intense witha wonderful choice ofvillain and characters. Tonyrevealed his identity tothe whole world and notmany superheroes do that.

The government tries andpressures down on Tony forhim to reveal the secrets tothe Iron Man suit, but herefuses. With him at his sideare Pepper Pots and JamesRhodes as the War Machine.

As years progress so domovies and there have beenmovies remakes along withthat progress with all thenew movie technology outthere. Two popular remakesthat got movies goersthrilled were Nightmareon Elm Street and Clash ofthe Titans. The re-imagingof Freddy Krueger in aNightmare on Elm Streetcaused curiosity and madepeople wonder if it wasgoing to be a movie down

the drain or even betterthan the original lms. Thelm might not have beenthe best, but at the sametime it was might have beenthe same as the older lms.In the end it didnt turn outas it was expected, but itwas a good re-imaging.

One really good qualitymovie is Prince of Persia: TheSands of Time. Disney gotthe rights to the lm makingit a fun adventure for the

whole family. It followedthe story for the most part,but it wasnt really meant tobe a family movie becausethe video games are ratedmature. It was more of alove story between Dastanand Tamina and the ndingof a magic dagger thatrewinds time. They try toreturn it to a sacred templeand not let Dastans eviluncle get his hands on it.

The action and stunts were

stunning and pleasurable. The summer got o to aremarkable start and endedwell for all the audience,with all the 3D movies andthe HD technology andspecial eects.

Summer maybe over,but fall has begun andwith fall coming so do newadventures and stories lledwith horror, imagination,and plenty of worlds.

When a teacher sendsyou that familiar glare onthe rst day of school andyou know that this semes-ter is going to be a long one,what better to do than geton his or her good side us-ing compliments and otherforms of sucking up? Youcan never go wrong withan apple or a worlds bestteacher mug unless theteacher doesnt like coee,of course. Many studentsmake the mistake of over-doing the teachers pet act,but if done right, you willbecome the teachers favor-ite student.

Teachers like stu-dents who know whenand when not to smile atthem. Smiling when theytell a joke that really wasntthat funny: good. Smil-ing when they accidentlyfall out of their chair and

onto the oor: bad. Smil-ing when the teacher pullsout another power pointexplaining what he/shecould have told the class inve minutes: good. Smilingwhen the teacher gets aspit ball stuck to the back oftheir head: bad. It takes in-stinctive talent to interpretwhen or when not to smileor laugh at the teacher, sopractice up and watch your

grades soar!Many students dont

know how much is toomuch. When the teacherhas to pry your hands fromthe door frame after schooland slam the door to makeyou leave, it might be toomuch. Just be sure to usethe right dose of sucking upand youre sure to start oon the right foot.

Riverhawk Review - Twin Falls, ID - Tuesday, October 5, 2010Sports 11

As the crowd rushedin on September 10th,thousands strong, tosupport our belovedRiverhawks, condencewas riding high and thepossibility of stealing theprestigious helmet trophyback from our cross-townrivals was closer than ever;however, Twin Falls receivedthat honor when theHawks fell to the second-ranked Bruins 23-0 after asloppy aair that until the

fourth quarter, was muchcloser than the nal scoreindicates.

Thanks to a penalty onthe defense and a fourth-

down conversion amongother things, Twin marcheddown the eld on theirrst drive of the game toscore an early touchdownand take the 7-0 lead. TheHawks drove the eldwell themselves but wereplagued with ags andturnovers abound afterbig plays and in the redzone at the end of eachof the rst two quarters.

The scoreboard remainedunchanged going intohalftime.

In the second half,the bruins capitalized ona fumble from the rstCanyon Ridge series to

extend their lead to twotouchdowns. Soon after, the

brakes began to come othe men in crimson. Injuriesand yet more turnoversalong with a few personalfouls sealed the Riverhawksfate. Though this secondgame of the young seasondidnt pan out as expected,Canyon Ridge football isfar from dead. They havefour remaining conferencegames, most of which theywill be favored in and a verygood chance of makingthe state playos, where,perhaps, they will bump

into their blue-and-whitefoe once again.

It has become a part of

basketballs annual ritual,

the persistent question of

whos going to be the next

Michael Jordan? The NBA

has had a lot of close calls

but people still say that

nobody has had as big of

an impact on the game asMichael Jordan.

Then came Lebron

James, a 6-foot-8,

240-pound, 18-year-old

high schooler who has

been called the best high

school player ever, with his

explosiveness and excellent

passing ability according to

www.sportsillustrated.com.

He held an outstanding

32-point scoring average

and a 3.75 grade point

average throughout

his high school career,

according to www.nba.

com. He exhibited the

kind of fan-pleasing ability

that made him the NBAs

number 1 draft pick in

2003. He quickly became a

sensation with his fans and

the whole league.

The only thing holding

James back is his lack ofan NBA Championship.

So how will he x this?

Not many people thought

his answer would be the

Miami Heat. The Heat also

consists of Dwayne Wade

and Chris Bosh, two stars

from the year before. With

this power house lineup

Lebron is hoping to put a

championship on his big list

of career achievements. But

with decisions there always

comes consequences. The

way James left his fans

brought a lot of hatred.

So back to the

question, is Lebron as good

as Michael Jordan? Lebron

is not even close to Michael

Jordan because Michael

Jordan didnt need other

stars to carry him quoted

by Jesse Andrus (Junior).

Will Lebron winning achampionship make him

comparable to Michael

Jordan? It will take many

more championships for

Lebron to be compared to

Michael Jordan, comments

Jared Berry (Junior).

All in all, both players

have changed the game in

their own unique way. It will

be exciting to see Lebrons

career grow or diminish

with his new team and fans.

It could be LeBrons yearMichael Chapple

Hawks show improvement over the summer

The American Legionbaseball team for CanyonRidge High School,otherwise known as the

Twin Falls Hawks, had apretty good rst year. TheHawks held tryouts just asschool was getting out, andplayed quite a long seasonnished up in the end ofJuly.

The Hawks played inthe single A class, wherethey competed againstsuch teams as Burley, Buhl,Jerome, Wood River, and,cross town rivals, the TwinFalls Cowboys who theysplit with, meaning theywon one game and lost one,in two very close games.

The Hawks nished the

season with a respectable13-18 record and barelymissed the cut for districts.Senior center elder/pitcher for the Hawks, ScottSpeer says, It was a goodrst season, we would havelike to go a little bit further,but overall I think we did

just ne.The Hawks didnt knowwhat to expect after adisappointing high schoolseason, winning only 3games. I think we surprisedeveryone, now all we haveto do is carry that into highschool ball, Speer added.High school try outs arentuntil late February, but thereare many opportunities togo out to the ball-eld andget a little practice duringthis oseason.

Riverhawk Review - Twin Falls, ID - Tuesday, October 5, 2010 Sports12

The rst basketballseason was a tough one forCanyon Ridge. New schoolsoften struggle to developtheir sports programs intheir beginning years,however, Canyon Ridgesboys and girls teams arefeeling condent that they

can rise above the rest thisseason and dominate thedistrict.

Igor Jozelic (junior)says, Our main strengthwill be that we only losttwo seniors, so our teamwill be basically the same.Our weakness will beovercoming last season.Since most of the boys havehad the opportunity to playtogether, they can build oof their strategies from theprevious season and usetheir past experience to

their advantage.Mrs. Wray, the girls

varsity coach, states, Wewill be quicker and play amore up-tempo game. Wehave some younger playersthat will be stepping upto help us as well as somereturners that will play keyroles this year. I look to seeus in all games and have awinning record. We are amuch dierent team thanlast year mentally andphysically.

Despite past

performance, CanyonRidges basketball teams aredisplaying great condencein their abilities. Usingimproved technique andteamwork, CRHS is going todemonstrate that they are aforce to be reckoned with.

Hundreds of Germanfans gathered at the SeaLife Centre in Oberhausen,

Germany on June 27, tond out the results of the2010 FIFA World Cup roundof sixteen match betweenEngland and Germany. Thisis where Paul, the oracleoctopus, would choosewho would move on, andwho would go home. Paulthe Octopus predictedall of Germanys matchescorrectly in the 2010 FIFAWorld Cup South Africa, as

long as numerous games inthe UEFA Euro 2008.

Pauls predictions weremade by having two boxesplaced into his tank, eachmarked with the ag of an

upcoming internationalmatch, and containingan oyster or mussel. Paulwould simply eat the oysterout of the box marked withthe ag of the team thatwould win the match.

Superstitious WorldCup fans have taken thesepredictions so seriously,that when Paul choseGermany to fall againstSpain, German fans put out

threats to turn Paul intosushi.

Paul predicted thebiggest match of his careerwhen he chose Spain todefeat the Netherlands in

the World Cup nal on July11, 2010. The next day, hiscareer was ended when hisowners chose for him tobe placed into retirement.Although his results in theWorld Cup were fantastic,studies show that Octopi arecolor blind and are drawn tohorizontal line shapes.

The teams that he choseto win included Germany,Serbia, and Spain; which

all contain horizontal lineshapes in their ags, givingPaul a biased choice in hisprediction, according to theSchool of Ocean Sciencesat Bangor University in the

United Kingdom.Scientists will continue

to say they have researchshowing why he choosescertain teams, but soccerfans across the world willput their money on theteam that Paul the Octopushas chosen. But the realquestion you need to askyourself is: Does Paul loveoysters, or does he love thegame?

After what can onlybe described as a less thansatisfactory season lastyear, the football team isworking hard to correctpast mistakes. Coaches andplayers have stepped up theintensity this season and arelearning from by watchinglm and working one onone if someone is confused.Brianna Larson, junior, wasquoted saying, Theyre apretty good football team.Pretty good. And ElliotWilliams, sophomore, said,

They are getting better.Even new coaches havebeen brought in to improvethe teams game, such asCoach Houdeshell, theformer coach of the Magic

Valley Bulldogs. He is a veryinspirational coach for theplayers and is now in chargeof the lineman. Anothercoach is Coach Austerlundwho is a coach on the JuniorVarsity team, along withhead coach Jacobi Fox.

After a tough loss toTwin Falls the football teamcame out against Jerome.Even though it was a lossCanyon Ridge played agreat game, holding themuntil the very end of thegame, where Jerome wonin the last few minutes bya eld goal. Going into thehomecoming game Canyon

Ridge is looking readyto prove that they are acontender in football, andtake home a win for CanyonRidge at our homecominggame. Good luck guys.

CRHS football looks to improve over a rough rst season

The 2010 NFL Seasonstarted out with some hugeupsets with games like theHouston Texans dominatingthe Indianapolis Colts, whohad made it to the SuperBowl the season prior.Other huge upsets camewith games like the DallasCowboys losing to theWashington Redskins andSan Diego Chargers being

defeated by Kansas CityChiefs. Another shockercame when the Saint LouisRams, the worst overallteam in the previousseason, came within onescore of defeating theArizona Cardinals, playing

an impressive game.Whos going to make

it to the playos? I wouldhave to say in the AFC Eastits going to go, once again,to the New York Jets. After aless than satisfactory displayagainst Baltimore theybrought their A game thefollowing week against thePatriots and showed whythey had made it all the wayto the AFC championshipgame.

In the North Pittsburgh

is going to take it, possiblyto another Super Bowleven. In the South for therst time in a long timeHouston is doing great,and Im putting my moneyon them. And nally, in theWest I believe the San Diego

Chargers will overcome theDenver Broncos to go on tothe playos. What about thewild card? In the AFC thewildcard will be the Coltsand the Patriots.

Then theres the NFC.In the North who else butthe Giants; Eli Manninghad a great season as aquarterback last year andonce he gets his team rollingthey will be a signicantfactor in the NFC race. In theNorth its nally Green Bays

year.Even with having some

sti competition withChicago and Minnesotathey should be able toovercome them and makeit to the playos, and in theSouth of course it will be the

returning champion, NewOrleans Saints! With playerslike Reggie Bush, DrewBrees, and Jeremy Shockeyreturning, The Saints havea great oense. They justneed to work on gettingtheir defense together; lastseason the Saints defensewas ranked 25th overall. Canthey manage to go to theSuper Bowl two years in arow?

Last of all, the West,and it is nally Seattles year.

And, of course, the wildcard. Arizona Cardinals andthe Minnesota Vikings aregreat teams, and this seasonshould be able to take thewild card and possibly theplayos.
