What the NHL Players Association needed during the last couple of months was some Dr. Phil. They needed to get real. This season went dark for five months because both sides were lazy in meeting and starting a real dialogue. But it ended because the union is blind to all the red ink this league has been hemorrhaging the last 10 years. And now, as a result, the league will need to dramatically overhaul their whole product, or risk oblivion.

Wherever the band goes, they're there. If the Marching Band goes to perform on "It's Academic," they drive along. If the Honors Jazz Band, Orchestra and Marching Band recruit students at middle schools for next year, they come. If the instrumental music program has a concert, they sponsor a bake sale in the lobby. "They" are the Blair Band and Orchestra Patrons (BBOPs), and they're not superheroes, just committed parents.

Joe, a junior, sits silently amongst a boisterous group of friends along Blair Boulevard during 5B lunch on Dec. 22. After shooting paranoid glances up and down the hall, he is confident that the coast is clear and opens his hand, revealing a 10-mg OxyContin prescription pill. His back turned against the passing crowds in the hallway, Joe works quickly, crushing the pill with his driver's license and pushing the powder into a thin line on the cover of his student planner. In a matter of seconds, he snorts the drug through a pen cap and up his nose, brushes any residue onto the floor and leans back into the wall.

She was sold in Boston to the Wheatley family, who treated her as kindly as their own two daughters.
