Feature story

My name is Ben Dover. I was born in Saran, Crapatoli on October 57, 1745. I was born to a very very large family. The first word i ever learned to spell was elephant. i fought in world war 2 against my old snobby grandpappy. We were enemies because he sold my mother to a farm. I declared war against him when i was ten years of age when he tried to sew a tail on my backside.
After years of fighting, i finally defeated the ole fart. he was a tough one to beat but all i had to do was take away his love, his precious chinese puppy(which he called Chow)! He finally surrendered and i was the champion of the world! Did i mention that my grandpappy was the meanest thing that roamed the earth! Yeah that's right i called him a thing instead of a person, because thats how special he was to me.
Later on in life i married a woman named Amanda Hugginkiss. She was the best thing that ever happened to me! We loved each other so much and she was the perfect wife. She died while she was in childbirth of our third child, Joy Killa. I have been devastated since then and have never moved on. I live every day in depression and misery. I awake to find that this devastating life of mine was all a dream!
I really am a 25 year old that is engaged to be married on 11/11/11. We plan to drink from the Fountain of Youth and live together forever! We are moving to our own peninsula and living off of love and fish from the sea. Oh and if you were wondering, her name is Anne Pickettup. Forever and always, Ben Dover & Anne Pickettup!<3

present of America

The present is full of many new inventions and new technology. for instance, one of the newest biggest things is the iphone. a whole of of people have them and almost all of those that dont, well they want one!! new cars are on the market every few years! Gas prices keep rising and falling just enough to make them fall again.

nowadays, everyone is talking about the war in iraq and also the stock market and how are ecomomy is crashing. Everyone is so worried about health insurance and everyother financial burden that they are unable to focus on the good things in life. i think everyone is afraid of what kind of change our new president is going to bring about. i know that alot is already changing and most of it has caused lots of controversy. the present is pretty hectic but i think the future will be more chaotic. people are relying tooo much on electronics ibnstead of what God really wants us to use... our brain!!!!!

the past of america

I would have loved to live in the past. First off, during the Bible times, people used the resources that God gave them and made the best out of them. they ate and drank natural things and they stayed in shape from walking everywhere they went. in the past, there were so many things that were discovered and invented. christopher columbus discovered the new world, world war 1 and 2 broke out in the 1900s.

i would have loved to live during the victorian or pioneer times. everything was so different back then! they didnt have all of the worries that we have nowadays. the decleration of independence was written, the pilgrims and indians made peace, wars broke out all over the world, and abraham lincoln was assassinated. so many things happened during these times!!

the future of America

i believe the future will be full of new inventions. like in the movie wall-e, i think that the people of the US will turn into obese people living off of technology. people rely so much on technology nowadays i cant imagine how much worse it will be. if we are not careful we will become a country too worried about money and technology, that we will never have time to spend with family and be happy. i hope the future is mmore pleasant than this but i think that at the rate we are going, we will end up in chaos!!

Obama was elected to the Illinois state senate in 1996 and served there for eight years. In 2004, he was elected by a record majority to the U.S. Senate from Illinois and, in February 2007, announced his candidacy for President. after winning a rough battle against hilary clinton, he won the votes and won the democratic nomination. he eventually won against Mccain also and won the presidency.

storytime with danielle rough draft

Story time with Danielle Mallett:

Hey I gotta tell you something! So a few years ago my family decided to go to San Antonio to visit my brother in the Air Force. The hotel we stayed at was very nice and elegant. My parents repeatedly told my sister, little brother, and I that we needed to mind our manners and be careful not to break anything. We obeyed them at first, but we were tired of being cooped up in the hotel room so we went out to explore. We ran down the hallways looking for something fun to do. We arrived at a door that contained a sign on the door saying “Fitness Room.” We looked at each other and knew that we all had the same idea. We went in just to find that the room was a tiny little cavern with about three and a half pieces of workout equipment. One of which was a treadmill. My little brother jumped on the treadmill and my sister and I got on either side of it. As the treadmill began to slowly start up, Christian began to walk. Lauren thought it would be funny to make the treadmill go really fast. So she reached over and turned up the speed. The treadmill gradually got faster and faster. Christian was oblivious to what was about to occur. He went from walking extremely slow, to walking a bit faster, to jogging a little, and then to sprinting. The treadmill was going so fast that Christian flew forward headfirst and his body was flung off the back of the treadmill. His head flew against the wall and he jumped up. Lauren and I looked at each other in astonishment. Before we could even realize what happened Christian began laughing, then crying, then laughing, and then crying. He wasn’t sure how to respond. Lauren and I could not help but to bust into laughter. We were all laughing so hard that we had tears streaming down our faces. We ended up having to tell my parents what had happened, but they didn’t have to worry about us getting into any more trouble because we had learned our lesson.

Almost every year my family goes snow skiing in California because we have family that owns a house up there. We have had many cases of incidents that have occurred from snow skiing. One time I was going down a slope with my aunt, my sister, my older brother, and a friend of the family. We went down this trail and we arrived at a point where the only way down was a steep cliff. (Aka double black diamond) I was fairly young and still very cautious. When I looked down the side of the mountain and saw that it was a huge drop-off I got a bit scared. Okay I got extremely scared! My aunt is a professional skier so she told me how I needed to go down the mountain. She told me to keep my skis together and slowly slide sideways down the mountain. I was making it down okay until all of a sudden my skis got caught on each other and I started tumbling down backwards. One of my skis flew off and was sliding down right behind me! Every time I flipped around I could see the ski about heading straight for me. I tried to dig my bare hands into the snow to stop myself but it was not working. Finally I stopped flipping and when I looked up I realized I was right in front of a fence. My face and hands were completely numb! My aunt came flying down the mountain with a panicked look on her face. When she got to me she kept asking me if I was okay. When I looked down I noticed that I was almost to the very bottom of the mountain. My sister and Trey (our family friend) were at the bottom dying laughing at me. They said I looked like a human snowball rolling down the mountain. It was quite an experience and my family still picks on me about it.

I hope you enjoyed the stories in this issue. Until next time farewell!
