I have decided to just talk about whatever comes to my mind. What came to it was this poem that came to me when I was thinking about my family, because my brother and my sister and I all have an addiction with drugs. I think alll those people out there that don't think that they have a drug problem and you really do this should apply to you. I would hope that you take it seriously. But I can't find it so if you ever find the poem, Miss Heroin, you should read this. Brodie



Who’s new??? Cory is new!!! He is beginning to transition over to transition! Lol! He is a cool kid. He is 14 years old, a youngster… He has cute big ears!!! He likes to play basketball, he raps, and he is an awesome pool player. This kid is chill and I am excited for him to be transitioning!!! Cassie



Fight Club

This movie is paramount beyond belief, there will only be one movie that can come close to this movie and it isn’t even out yet. In this movie there is a person who can't seem to get his life in check. He can't sleep and it seems as if he is going crazy. So he starts going to meetings and crying his little heart out just so he can sleep at night and he gets addicted. Then he finally makes up an imaginary friend that does insane and revolutionary things.

Movie review Happy Gilmore

I pick this movie because it is a great movie for kids. It tells a great message to me. That we should try to help and you can get more from life. This is a good movie for family and little ones. It will make you laugh and cry with joy. Adam Sandler is a funny guy. I give this movie a five.

Book Review

Book: A Rose for Melinda Author: Lurlene McDaniel About this book: This is a very excellent book. It’s told in letters, journals, e-mails, doctor reports, and instant messaging. This book is about a girl who is a ballerina, but finds out she has leukemia. Her friend Jesse moves away from her when they were little, but not once has he had a girlfriend or forgot about Melinda. He stays by her side every moment. Melinda and Jesse share a very special relationship for being so young. I won't give away the ending, but I hope that you read this wonderful book. Star Rating: five stars Presented by: Michelle G.

Music review FOURTMINER “WHERE DID YOU GO” THIS SONG REALLY MEANS A LOT TO ME, BECAUSE WHEN I WAS FIRST GETTING LOCKED UP MY MOM WAS OUT OF TOWN A LOT AND SHE HAD DEDICATED THIS SONG TO ME. THE SONG CAN MEAN ANYTHING TO YOU, LIKE A RELATIONSHIP YOU'RE IN OR YOUR FAMILY. IT TALKS ABOUT HOW SOMEONE IS ALWAYS LEAVING AND THEY WANT THEM TO COME HOME AND HOW THEY ARE’NT AS CLOSE AS THEY USED TO BE AND THAT THEY MISS EACH OTHER. THIS IS A REALLY GOOD SONG. I LOVE IT….. BY APRIL

Eight Crazy Nights is in my opinion one of Adam Sandler's greatest movies. It is hilarious and saddening all at the same time. This movie is the story of a guy who when he was younger lost his parents while in a basketball game. The tragedy is what destroyed this kids life. After that he just started to get in all kinds of trouble and became a drunk. However, towards the end of the movie he started to realize just how important friendship is as well as how much people really do love him. by Brendon

Book review

The book I’m reviewing is called Lethal Seduction. It is about a bunch of girls that are friends. One of the girls husband is acting weird and this big problem comes into the story. I think it is very interesting. It is a weird kind of mystery mixed with drama.

-Hillee Movie Review I watched I AM LEGEND over the weekend with my family and I thought it was sick. It was about a disease that spread around the world and there were only a couple of survivors. The diseased people were called night stalkers. They can only come out at night and if the sun touches them they start to burn. I thought the movie was awesome and I give it a 4 star rating. Jazmyn

The horoscope for the month of April: This month is full of excitement, but it is also full of trials that you need to overcome. On the 1st through the 9th you need to solve a couple of arguments that you have had with a couple of your friends. You need to try and see things from their point of view. Then on the 15th you need to try and plan a day that is made just for you. Do something that just gives you time to relax and cool down. On the 21st you are going to need to be yourself and get all of that stress and worries out of your system. Let the rest of the month be relaxing and stress free because nobody likes to hang out with someone who is always worrying. By Brittany

What’s Hot & What’s Not. I guess tongue rings are hot. These days blu ray T.V. is hot. Movies are hot. Rock Band is hot right now. Lifted trucks are hot these days.

Gangs are not hot. A.R.T.E.C. is not hot. Gas prices are not hot. Utah weather is not hot! Being sick is defiantly not hot. -Travis

Video game review Grand Theft Auto San Andreas

San Andreas is a good game. On that game you have to buy houses and steal cars. When you steal cars you take them to your safe houses, you buy weapons and you kill other gang members, you build your guy up. You have to do a lot of missions and stuff so you can get better weapons, better cars, and better houses. It’s a lot of fun. I think, but it is not appropriate for kids 12 and under. By MaTT

What’s Hot / What’s Not

Dear ARTEC, I think this school is really LAME!!!! The uniforms SUCK, and the vans smell helluh funny!

There is some also disrespectful staff and students. I think we should change a lot of the rules cuz there is too many of them! Like in the summer, I don’t think ppl should have to go to school During the summer… that’s really LAME!! By: Jesshhka :]

The movie I am choosing is Shottas, it is about Jamaican Gangs. In the movie it shows two brothers growing up in the ghetto of Jamaica, as they are growing up they are witnessing people die from their family, because of gang involvement. They come to America 10 years later and start to run a gang there, selling a lot of drugs and getting tons of money, while throwing over all the other gangs. At the end of the movie, the main character loses everything, all his friends, family, and wife. JTD

Artic News Opinion article The topic I would like to state my opinion is on drugs, smoking, drinking and sex. Why? Why? Why? What is the point! I know especially these days that it’s more common to participate in these worthless activities, but I cant really talk in a way because I used to have problems, but since I came to Artec I have conquered my problems and now I realize I would have never have gotten through life if I kept it up. Those subjects I just listed really won't get you ANYWHERE! Have you ever seen a picture of a meth or coke addict? Well, I don’t know about you, but I think just seeing pictures of people who have that problem is just sad and disgusting (my opinion). I would have to say one of the biggest turn offs would have to be seeing the one you like drinking and making the biggest fool out of yourself, and to the point that you just want to pretend like you don’t know them. Sex? In my eyes I think you should be married before you participate in it. At a young age sex can distort your mind and mess with who you will become, I have seen sex ruin lots and lots of teenager relationships and I suggest you do everything you can to prevent participating in it.

Horoscopes Taurus April 20-May 20

You will have a new leader and a new fresh day. You will be successful and be on time to wherever you have to be. You will be a nice friend to your family and friends. You will try to be honest at all times. You will be kind and gentle with luv. By Nate B.

DEAR ARTEC: THIS SCHOOL SUCKS!!!!! I think that the rules of this tiny little school we all love so much just don’t fit in with our daily lives! They say to you,’’ we want you to be prepared for ‘normal’ school”, but they never treat you like this in a normal school!! They pick you up in big white vans, they don’t let you bring more than $5, and they don’t let you wear your own clothes. These are just a few of the things we could do in a normal school. So this “school” that we all love sooo much SUCKS!!!!

Ghost Busters 2 Ghost Busters 2 is about a ghost busting team with 4 people who have a restraining order put on them by the state. So they have to break up the team. But once a mysterious slimy gob feeds off of the negative energy in the city. Which makes weird things happen. And the order is gone so they can catch ghosts and they are called all the time. They eventually kill or catch all the ghosts. Then every thing is back to normal.

music review Song: Sexy Can I I think that this music is cool because it's got a tight beat. Also, I think that this song is cool because It's got a cool music video. The singer is one of my favorite rappers. His name is Rey J. The words are kind of dumb, but the beat and voice makes it worth listening to. By Brian

Opinion

My opinion is my Honda SI can beat Danny’s Chrysler 300 HEMI C SRT8. Danny thinks his boat is faster than my Honda SI. Danny’s big black boat “Delilah,” he calls it, it's going to break down when we race. But if he wins I will feel hella dumb because all the crap on his big black boat. We probably won’t race, but it would be koo.
