Opinion Story

My opinionated drawing is about the schools taking out all the good treats out of the lunchrooms. There used to be different candys and sodas, but they have decided it is too unhealthy for students. Some would say that students should have there own choice whether to eat healthy, or enjoy what they eat. I will be asking a few students the following questions:

- What is your opinion on schools taking away sweets from the lunchroom?

- Why do you think the disrict decided to take away the unhealthy foods?

- Which snack, if any, would you take back to the lunchroom if you had the choice?

Twins Stadium: News Story

As the 2010 MLB season approaches, the fans of Minnesota get more anxious by the second. Everyone is dying to head out to the new Target Field to catch a few games, which will now be played outside. Some believe it will be a complete 180 degree turn from the Metrodome, which is the Twin's previous indoor stadium. But, there are more changes made to the new stadium other than a complete different look. There will be 4 different hot dogs being sold at the new stadium. They are called the Original Twins Dog, Twins Big Dog, Dugout Dog, and the Dinger Dog. The Original Twins Dog were the same ones that were previously sold at the Metropolitan Stadium, where they played before the Metrodome.

When I asked Joe Gramstad if he agreed with building the new stadium, he said "Yes, because the dome is not very good for baseball, and the new stadium could attract attention for an all-star game and boost the economy". He also believes it could be good for the Twins chance of winning a title, he stated "the new stadium could attract more free agents to the organization". More free agents looking at the Twins as a possible team gives us more talent, and a better chance to win the World Series.

The new stadium should be much more comfortable for the fans watching the games. Each seat has more leg room and wider seats for the fans to enjoy the game more. It has 18,500 infield seats, which will feature some of the closest seating to the playing field in all the league. The stadium will have more rows with less seats in each row for the comfort of the fans. One the field much of the fencing in the outfield is near the same distance as the Metrodome. Center field measures 411 feet, which is a slight increase from the 408 feet at the Dome. There is a slight decrease down both the left and right field lines, but only a few feet difference from the old stadium.

Twin's Stadium

I'm doing my featured news story on the 2010 opening of the MN Twin's stadium. I will be interviewing both Twin's fans, and people who may not agree with a new stadium so I can get both point of views. In the interviews I will find out if they wanted the new stadium or if they think it's a waste of money. And I will ask if they think it will help the team make the playoffs this year.

Bruce Lee or Chuck Norris?

The debate continues. Some say that no one could touch Bruce Lee (Enter the Dragon) when he was in his prime. But, others say that Chuck Norris (Walker Texas Ranger) is the baddest karate cowboy to ever walk the streets. Who would win the fight if they both were in the best shape of their lives?? Let me know what you think
