Dog of the Month: Basset Hound! By Cassie Snay and Jessica Rice
Sweet Treat! Buffalo Chicken Egg Rolls
By Evan Maietta
You will Need: 1 package of eggroll wraps
The Basset Hound is a short, relatively heavy dog. The head is large and well proportioned with a rounded skull. The muzzle is deep and heavy with the size being greater than the width at the brow. The brown eyes have a soft, sad look to them and are slightly sunken with a prominent haw. The darkly pigmented lips have loose hanging flews and the dewlap is very pronounced. The skin hangs loose like elastic and falls in folds on the head. The velvety ears are set low and extremely long hanging towards the ground. The large teeth meet in either a scissors or even bite. The chest is very deep extending in front of the front legs. The dog’s hindquarters are very full and round. The paws are big. The dewclaws may be removed. The coat is dense, short, hard, and shiny. There are no rules concerning color, but it is usually black, tan, white, red, and white with chestnut or with sand-colored markings. INFORMATION FOUND AT: http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/bassethound.htm
1 pound of chicken breast 1 bottle of hot sauce Cheese Italian dressing A medium sized skillet Oven A small bowl of warm water A cookie pan 1 egg 1 cooking brush Cut your chicken into bite sized pieces and cook it in your skillet with the Italian dressing. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Put the cooked chicken in a bowl and mix in the hot sauce. Lay one of your wraps on a cutting board and place a slice of cheese in the center and cover it with some of the chicken. Dip your finger in the bowl of water and trace the edges of the wrap. Fold the wrap like a triangle and trace the edges again for extra support. Then put a little dab of water in the center of the wrap and fold all three sides into the center. Cover the center with water and flip it over on a pan with the folds facing down. Beat the egg in a small bowl. When ready take a cooking brush and brush the tops of the egg rolls with the egg. Put pan(s) into preheated oven and set timer for 5 minutes.

Video Game Review!
This month’s video game review is based on Gotham City Imposters. This is a very addicting game that is a XBLA game (XBoxLiveArcade). It has gotten a 9.55 from IGN and a 9.87 from inside gaming. I have only played exactly 13 minutes of this game, but I can already tell you that this game is worth the 1200 points. This is supposed to be where you either play as joker wannabe or Batman and Robin wannabes. This is a very big game on you tube. I do hope that you are thinking of getting this game or at least the demo. See you star-side. Jacob Robbins

“Don’t leave me! Destiny don’t go! Destiny! Don’t leave me…”
Ever since my sister died, that moment still haunts me. In the hospital holding her hand, watching her suffer, even worse...watching her die. Destiny died of cancer. She was a fighter, a believer. Destiny is like losing a friend, more like a sister. She was the best sister I could have ever had. After she died, we moved to Northbridge, Ohio, a small town but with many people. Only one person understands how I feel. His name is C.J. To be continued…..

Petals is an Artist! By Grace Turgeon Petals sat bored on a Saturday afternoon watching the clouds, when she heard a voice from behind her. It said, “What are you doing?” She turned and saw she was too close to the boy’s pen. That annoying boy, Little E, was talking to her. He was annoying…loud and… smelly! “Oh, go away, you little pest!” She saw Little E frown and felt bad. She sat up and said, “What do you want?” “I shouldn’t say.. you might think I’m… BRAGGING.” What did Little E have to brag about? “Oh, go ahead.” “Oh.. it’s just, I wanted to tell you about my autistic vision.” “Huh?” Petals heard Bailey coming! “I gotta go… bye, smel—I mean, Little E.” “Bye.” Petals ran to Bailey and nearly knocked her over. “Mama! What’s autistic vision?” Bailey chuckled, “I think you mean artistic vision.” “What’s that?” “Well, it’s when a young boy or girl makes art.” “Art?” “Art is.. is.. Well, I’ll show you.” Bailey wandered over to her stall and pulled out a shoebox, then took out a piece of chalk. “Follow me.” Petals wandered over with Bailey to the big rock next to the barn. She held the chalk in her hoof and drew a picture of a smiley face. “That’s drawing,” said Petals. “Drawing is art! And people who like to draw are artists!” “Can I be an artist?” “First you need a beret.” Bailey took two leaves and bound them together and put it on Petal’s head. “Very pretty. Now start drawing!” Petals got to work. She drew Bailey and Missy and Farmer Brown and everyone else. “Mama! Come look!” Bailey walked over and smiled. “Beautiful!” Abused Puppies Some good reasons you might want to buy abused puppies: They will get a shelter if you don’t. They will have someone who will be nice to them. You will have a pet you can share your feelings with. They are cute. You will do a good deed. They will thank you for that….

Chapter Three Not-So– Sweethearts
“Father!!! How could you!!!” I yelled. Oh, I’m sorry! I jumped right into the story! So, most fathers betroth their daughters to men far, far away whom they have never even HEARD of. Now Father promised me, when I was very small, that he would never think of doing such a thing. Yet, he is doing it! I’m to be married to some prince named Prince Charal. He is supposed to become King Charal in exactly six months thirteen hours and forty-seven days from now. My portrait was painted a week ago and shipped off to (soon- to-be) King Charal, including a very brave note from me (attached below) Dear Prince Charal, I am Princess Marana. Would you please send me a picture of you? Or could you at least drop by for a bit? Thank you ever so much! -Marana Ecolana,Princess More next time!! If you have any ideas for this series, please put them in the box in the cafeteria. Thank you! Sweet Treat Quesadilla by Evan Maietta

Angry Birds Space Review
CHAPTER FOUR: EASTER
Do you like mind bending puzzles, Angry Birds, or challenging games? If so, Angry Birds: Space is the right game for you! As of right now, the game should be like all the other Angry Birds games: 99 cents! The game is packed with mind bending puzzles, new birds, and some cool backgrounds! In this game, you have the newest bird—Ice! He is trying to save his planet from the pigs while the basic birds are only trying to get home. What does Ice do, you may ask? Well, when Ice makes contact with a pig or, for example, wood, it turns to ice! Here’s where the regular birds come in handy... once the ice is frozen, all you need now is the blue bird to smash it! Also, the latest game comes with a change to the Angry Bird franchise; each planet that you go past normally has a gravitational pull like real planets, so if you get caught in it, and you don’t hit anything, you’d just circle around the planet! That could be good, too! Let’s say you miss the pig, but you’re still in the gravity, well, then you just come right back around! The game has little challenges here and there with the gravity, such as using two planets with gravitational pulls, so you’d go under the planet and go over the second one to hit the pig! I’d say that this game is going to be #1 on the app store for a long time! Just like I said before, if you’re into games that require some thinking or just a plain old Angry Birds fan,this is the game for you! Kev-imomiter: 10/10; or in Angry Bird talk 3 stars! Review by Kevin Alves
By Lexie Maietta
It’s Easter Sunday, and we have been very busy overseeing the festival and such. I did not get a chance to see any of the contests, Mother saying, “You are too young to see such sports as men competing for silly sport.” Then Mother walked away, and I had to follow or I would’ve been trampled in the oncoming slew of people, racing to get to the games on time. I was a bit sad that I could not attend but lightened up for my mother’s sake. She has not been feeling well as of late, yet insisted on coming out, saying that is was tradition to make an appearance at the Easter festival. I wonder if I shall have a little sister or brother soon. I have always been an only child, so a little sibling would be nice. MORE NEXT TIME If you have any ideas for the CHAPTERS series, please, please put them in the newspaper submission box in the cafeteria!
Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!! :) ;)
