On Oct. 18-21, students celebrated homecoming week by dressing up in crazy costumes for each spirit day, which led up to the much anticipated pep rally at 1:15 p.m. in the gym at the end of the week. While students were in the stands decked in red and black, the pep rally’s MCs, Seniors Bobby Distler and Sarah Mannelly, were getting everybody ready for the Homecoming game against St.Joes on the 22.

I don’t claim to know much about the NBA lockout, but I still find it very interesting. On the surface it seems like your average sports stoppage, overpaid athletes screaming for more money, with deep pocketed owners trying to scam together a way to bring in more cash. After reading some more background information and doing some research, I came to a different conclusion; NBA players are actually underpaid.Think about it. The NBA has never been about the teams, at least not really. Sure the Lakers, Celtics, and Bulls all have a rich amount of history and they’ve been the most successful teams in league history. But when most people think of the NBA, they think of Michael Jordan. Jordan isn’t a team (although he now owns one), he was a player. And players are the biggest draw for the NBA. Now, I’m not talking about your run of the mill, 4th best player on an average semi-consistent team, player. I’m talking about superstars. Jordan, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Dr.J, Scottie Pippen, Kevin Durant. The list goes on and on.
On Monday, Nov. 7, New Canaan Public Schools will open on a regular, full day schedule. According to the New Canaan Office of Emergency Management, town-wide power restoration is near completion and they are currently in the process of servicing individual homes still without power.
