Simply Labeled Her early leaf’s a flower; Writerʼs block is my enemy, But only so an hour. Paper is my sanctuary. Then leaf subsides to leaf. Everyday life becomes harder--stress falls So Eden sank to grief, Right onto my shoulders. So dawn goes down to day. I falter because of the weight-- Nothing gold can stay. But let no one take it away. This burden is mine to bear alone; Robert Frost Itʼs no one elseʼs.

Homecoming Present and Past: Memories, Spirit, and Fun! The PA is blaring, and the stadium lights are blazing. The football players are getting that nervous feeling in the pits of their stomachs. King candidates run their fingers through styled hair. Beautiful young women in slinky dresses parade in front of the grandstands. The crowd admires and applauds. Yes, this is Homecoming. When we think of this special event, we usually ask others, “What are you going to wear?” or “Who is your date?” As students, we are focused on the present. But have you given any thought about who and what was involved in Homecoming in the past? Many of the teachers in our school have lived the experience. As it turn out, the educational leader in our building was also a leader in his senior year of high school. Mr. Macy was crowned homecoming king at Minneapolis High School back in the late ʻ70ʼs It rained, but even worse than that was the embarrassing fact that the queen was taller than he was! Mrs. Neaderhiser was a homecoming queen at Wilson High School, and both Mr. Fiel and Mr. Wagner were homecoming candidates. Many of the teachers commented that their homecomings were similar to the way the event is conducted here, but Mrs. Neaderhiser added that activities are a little safer now than they were when she was involved. When she was a senior, her school played a team whose mascot was the Indians. That night at the bonfire, football players dressed up like native Americans shot flaming arrows from the roof of the school to light the bonfire! For much of the staff, Homecoming means a lot of school spirit, unforgettable memories, and a great deal of fun. Letʼs have more of the same! by Audrey Wagner and Jordan Fief How ‘Bout Them Dawgs?! The Bennington Bulldogs have been bringing competition to the contests in all sports. The football team has displayed heart and desire for the game while racking up points in the win column. “This year there is a larger amount of heart in our football team. We’re working hard and do- ing what we can for the team’s success and pride for our school,” declares senior lineman Aaron Jore. The boys are busy preparing for the big home- by Brenna Goddard coming game on the 30th. This should be an awesome occasion, so come with your seat cushion in hand! The cross country team has been leaving their tracks in the meets that they have been to so far. Junior Jenni Butler has gotten two 1st places and one 2nd place in the past three meets. Senior Lauren Cherry and sophomore Sarah Hicks have also placed in the recent meets. Lady Dawg volleyball is making adjustments and working hard to improve their skills, starting with the basics. The team’s new coach, Mrs. Wilson, has had a great impact and is teaching the girls new techniques and skills. The varsity features a young squad that has major potential. However, “It’s a lot of pressure being a young setter on a varsity team,” remarked freshman Jordan Fief. Girl’s golf is improving as the season progresses. The older girls are taking the ‘youngins’ under their wings. “We have some new team mem- bers who are struggling a little, but we’re all working hard together to help each other,” assures senior Megan Vishnefske. No matter what the outcome, Bulldog athletes strive to perform in a manner that brings honor and glory to our school. Let’s all support them as they pursue that Bulldog Pride! A Talk With The Man In Charge by Krystle Kral How well do you know our superintendent? And I mean actually know him, not just of him? I can honestly say, as a senior, that I had no clue who this Harlan guy was that I kept hearing about in the halls and classrooms. When I got the chance to interview him, I found out a lot information that I am pleased to share with you readers! Q: You are now entering your fourth year as superintendent of Twin Valley Schools.

  • Neil Armstrong, 1St Man on the Moon, Dies at 82 (Update) 25 August 2012, by LISA CORNWELL
    Neil Armstrong, 1st man on the moon, dies at 82 (Update) 25 August 2012, by LISA CORNWELL he died. Armstrong commanded the Apollo 11 spacecraft that landed on the moon July 20, 1969, capping the most daring of the 20th century's scientific expeditions. His first words after setting foot on the surface are etched in history books and in the memories of those who heard them in a live broadcast. "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind," Armstrong said. In those first few moments on the moon, during the climax of a heated space race with the then-Soviet Union, Armstrong stopped in what he called "a tender moment" and left a patch to commemorate NASA astronauts and Soviet cosmonauts who had died in action. This July 20, 1969 file photo provided by NASA shows Neil Armstrong. The family of Neil Armstrong, the first man to walk on the moon, says he died Saturday, Aug. "It was special and memorable, but it was only 25, 2012, at age 82. A statement from the family says he instantaneous because there was work to do," died following complications resulting from Armstrong told an Australian television interviewer cardiovascular procedures.

  • The Multiplatform Brand Flows of Heroes
    Selling Across the Spectrum: The Multiplatform Brand Flows of Heroes ERIN GIANNINI, independent scholar ABSTRACT This article examines how the NBC show Heroes and its use of product placement across multiple platforms represented an early response by networks and advertisers to concerns over ad-skipping and alternate viewing platforms by attempting to reconfigure how brand flow operates across multiple platforms. Not only did the series employ ‘second shift aesthetics’ (Caldwell 2003, 135), which represents networks bringing viewer-users back to the programme by ‘further engag[ing] and activat[ing] the text’ (Caldwell 2004, 50), but the products integrated within the text are pulled into the available world of Heroes’ alternative platform’s textual world, particularly Nissan branded cars. As Henry Jenkins writes: ‘Old media are not being displaced. Rather, their framework and structure shifted by the introduction of new technology’ (2006, 3-4). How these products are used within Heroes storylines and its interaction with characters and platform goes beyond simple placement to make the product another character within the show. Further, I examine the way in which Heroes, as a transmedia text, provided many points of entry for viewer-users to interact with it. While an analysis of fan activity is not the focus of this article, it is important to note these possibilities because of the ways in which the promotional apparatus of the network utilized these types of convergences for the series. Yet, in the case of Heroes, this was achieved by suturing new technological abilities of brand extension with an older model of ad- supported television (namely, the single-sponsorship model of early American television), both within the terrestrial television series and across multiple platforms.

  • Pre-Deployment and Mobilization Parent Letter
    OMK Idol Dear Family, Today your Operation Military Kid became an OMK Idol! They did an awesome job of singing patriotic songs and having fun. Youth love music, especially music that resonates with what is going on in their lives. When Service Members are deployed, youth find it hard to tell others what they are feeling. Gaining the confidence to sing in front of a group and having fun with others who share the anticipation and experience of deployment, can help youth talk about their feelings. OMK Idol may help your youth overcome the embarrassment and fear of singing in front of an audience and ‘judges’. In participating in OMK Idol, we hope your youth feels more confident to stand up and speak out for themselves in their community. We hope they continue to use music and songs to express and share their feelings and gain confidence to stand up in embarrassing and stressful situations at home, in their schools and in their communities. Your youth were wonderful! Thank-you for bringing your youth to this Operation: Military Kids Deployment Cycle Support Yellow Ribbon Youth Outreach Activity. Best regards, Conversation Starters: • Who do you think is your hardest audience? • What is your biggest fear? • What is the one talent you are most proud of? • Who is your harshest judge? • What is your favorite band? Why? Setting Down Roots Dear Family, Today we learned about trees, how they grow, and what they give to us. Each youth received a tree to bring home and plant with the Service Member as a reminder while they are away.

  • Neil Armstrong Comprehension
    First Man on the Moon Neil Armstrong was an American astronaut who was famous for being the first person to walk on the Moon. His Early Life Neil Armstrong was born on 5th August 1930, in the USA. His passion for flying began at a young age. When he was two years old, his parents took him to Cleveland Air Race which was where he saw his first ever aircraft. At the age of six, Neil was taken by his dad for a ride in an aeroplane. He worked hard to achieve his dream of being a pilot: Armstrong was only 16 years old when he received his first pilot’s licence, before he could even drive a car! Fun Facts • He was a keen Boy Scout. • He suffered from travel sickness as a child, but was fine in space! In September 1962, Neil Armstrong was accepted to the NASA astronaut corps, where he knew he might one day go in to space. Amazingly, during his career he flew over two hundred different aircraft! The Moon Landing Finally, everything was ready! On 16th July 1969, at 13:32, Neil Armstrong and his crew mates Edwin (Buzz) Aldrin and Michael Collins blasted off into space. Neil Armstrong became the first man to walk on the Moon on 20th July 1969. It was shown all across the world on television. It is estimated that 600 million people watched the astronauts make history.
