April holidays! :]

On April 30, 2010 is National Honesty Day! This day is supposed to encourage you to be honest not only on this holiday, but everyday! It's good to be honest all the time because honesty is a great value to have. If you tell the truth all the time then people will believe you when something is happening and you need help or anything. If you lie a lot then when something happens and you need help, people might not believe you and that would not be good! - It's kind of like the boy who cried wolf! A lot of poeple know that story about a boy who lied that there was a wolf and there wasn't and when the wolf really came the boy called for help but no one believed him and the wolf ate all of the sheep. So have a great day and open up and be honest! :)

The majors's Softball Team

Last night there was a game in Panaca. It was Panaca major's team vs. Pioche major's team. Pioche won 11-25. It was a very rough start in the begininng for Panaca. The first inning lasted a very long time. Pioche scored 8 in the first half. Then when Panaca was up to bat they made weak come back with a score of 1. It was the 2 inning already and Panaca's pitcher (Hayden B.) was throwing strike after strike. When Pioche got three outs Panaca came back and Sarah A. scored again with Panaca's 2 point. It was a very tough game but both teams did a great job. Our middle school actually has some students on the those teams. Kaitlin C. is on the Pioche team and Sydney A., Sarah A., and Kori L., are on the Panaca team.

Why play Softball?

If your into sports at this time u should try softball. Well its fun and its just something to do instead of just stay and watch TV and play video games all day long huh. Lots of people play softball. Its not that bad i mean if you like get hit with the ball it goes away fast, if u just pull a muscule its not that bad it hurts but it heals. You can get in shape if want to or if you need to. You can play in games you can pratice if you just put your mind to it i mean its not that bad all u do is hit the ball and catch a ball and just run a lot. But trust me i play and it is really fun! but if your a guy i would go for baseball if i were u. People say thats fun to i mean its the same but with a small ball and u have to pitch differnt thats all but really its fun maybe next year lots of people can try out and play.

Softball interviews

I talked to Rylie O. about the middle school softball team and how she likes it this is what she says: that it's really good, they don't know their postitions yet. They might have their first game on Thursday and they are playing a St. George team. Their uniforms are red, black, and white. Their coaches are Lorin Wilkin and Marty Soderborg. Rylie says she wants to play at either short-stop or catcher. She really likes softball.

Then I talked to Kaitlin C. who didn't make the traveling team. This is what she says that in a way she's glad that she didn't make it because she likes her uncle Shawn (the major girls coach)better than some of the middle school coaches. She says that she will be able to get more playing time this way.

Wish them luck in their games and come to support them! :) Good luck ladies!! :)

Comments and Pictures

Hey everyone.....we took away the comments because poeple were writing rude comments and we didn't like it. We think it has been long enough without comments and decided that we should let everyone comment again as long as you write good things on there. We would really like you guys to comment. :) We will give everyone another week to name whos shoes, jackets, cars, etc. that we took pictures of. Comment on one of the posts with the pictures. :)

Spring Break

The differnece between Wiki Anwsers and Wikipedia

Why not use Wiki Anwsers? What is the difference between using Wiki Anwsers and Wikipedia? Well on Wiki Anwsers some random person can go on and anwser any question with any anwser that they want. So if you use anwsers from there you wouldn't know whether the anwser is correct or not. So it is the Newspaper Staff's advice to you not to use Wiki Anwsers. With Wikipedia there is actually someone who checks the posts to make sure that no one is putting some random anwsers on there. You might be better off with getting your information from Wikipedia than Wiki Anwsers.

April Holiday :)

Today, April 6, is National Sorry Charlie Day. If you have been rejected, or someone has been rude to you, t0day is a day for everyone that has been picked on and still made it through the day. Just remember that having a bad day happens to all of us eventually. A good way to say sorry is to buy them flowers. :)
