 **__Opinion Article

I believe the world will end in 2012. It's not the movie that makes me think this. The Mayans predicted this and Nostradamus did too. I think it's crazy that they both came up with the same day and they didn’t know each other or about each other. Nostradamus also predicted 9/11 and Hitler and they both came true. So in 2012 the sun will line up perfectly in our galaxy. This will cause lots of destructions like heat, earthquakes, and other things. I will leave it up to you too, to believe in this or not.

Original Artwork by Alisha M. My favorite thing to do is write poetry. It clears my mind and inspires me to do more. Some people like my work, others may not. I write about millions of things, such as love, grief, difficulties, and etc. here is a poem I created;

What a mystery love is, I thought that it wouldn't happen again But I was wrong I'm here again writing Writing about how I feel I fell again For a guy This guy seems like no other I've met I want to be more than just friends

I know that I just recently met you But I can't help how you have made me feel I have a bit of a crush on you And that's all I got to say Why did it happen? I do not know Do I regret it? No I don't I want to be a part of your life And be someone special to you I want to keep your hugs And to stay at your side Don't judge me for what I'm saying But some how I find myself liking you I don't know how it happened But I do hope I can stay at your side And on this day I say to you I like you And there's nothing I can do about it I've tried not feeling this way But I can't help it So please let me stay at your side...

Dear A.R.T.E.C,

My name is Leli and I just started day treatment at Artec West. I have been here for a couple days and so far so good. The people here are really nice and very helpful, they helped me a lot with my schedule and times, it's nice not trying to figure everything out all by myself. There’s only one thing that I am having trouble with and that’s the level and point system, the whole thing just confuses me, I don’t understand why we even do it. I honestly think in my opinion we shouldn’t have to do it. I mean we shouldn’t have to worry about points at the end of the day. I just think its one thing that we need to worry about well really my question is what is the importance of the level and point system? Is it supposed to keep us structured so that we don’ t get out of hand? What’s our incentive if we do good? Climbing up the level system do we start to get more freedom? It was just my understanding that this is a well put together day treatment to help many teens succeed in school and just in life it helps them get things together for their daily lives. But I really do just want to answer the system here at Artec West. By: Leli

By: Matson This month the stars say “all your financial troubles will come to an abrupt end with the coming of the planet mars”. In the coming of the new rows of stars come new philosophy, new vision and knowledge. At some stage in the near future there will be a sign from mother earth informing us of coming events. Be prepared for anything.

Al Capone Shines My Shoes This book is the sequel of Al Capone Does My Shirts. This time Moose and his sister Natalie save the day again. They stop the convicts on Alcatraz from escaping. Then the Flanagan family is happy again. I would give this book 5 stars. I like the respect everyone has for each other.

Dear ARTEC, my opinion about ARTEC. I think artec enforces too many rules about relationships and dating. I think ARTEC’s policy on physical contact is too strict and should give some leeway about it. I think ARTEC should give us longer breaks between classes, at least 5 minutes. I think ARTEC does a good job of organizing the groups and the way they run things. I think ARTEC does well with trying to help others in the situation they're going through.

Ok my fellow Artec peers, I would like to take the time to inform you that here at Artec the food has gotten way better than it has been in a while. I’ve been here for about 5 months or more and ever since I’ve been here we have had pizza every Monday for lunch. For my opinion, it’s nasty and gets old. Now that we have had new cooks, it has changed a lot with different selections of food. And I’ve noticed that we eat different types of ethnic foods. Another thing would be the teachers are way more strict, but in a rude way. To my opinion, it sucks.

Sports-basketball is energetic. You get fouled, pushed, shoved and thrown on the floor. You have to play by the rules. If you step out then you are out and if you make it it’s the other teams ball. If the team drops the ball out of bounds then it’s the other teams ball again. I like the Jazz basketball team. I like to play basketball because I like to get my energy out of me.

Dear ARTEC I think that you guys need to get cameras in this school. Because I have been blamed for stuff that I did not do. If you get cameras I think that you could see who’s doing bad things. I also think that you need to stop assuming. It’s really a big trigger for some people.
