A Review on the AMSCO End of the School Year Carnival Review by April Boffa and Mel Weirich The AMSCO carnival took place on Friday, May 1 from 2:30-5:15 p.m.. There were tons of fun things to do, such as the usual dancing and concession stands. However, AMSCO made it extra fun for students by adding a photo booth, a jousting arena, inflatable twister, an inflatable obstacle course, a video game trailer, and a dunk tank. The games and activities were extremely fun. My (Melanie) top two favorite things were the jousting and dunk tank. I finally got to get Mr. Breech back for all the homework and essays by dunking him in the dunk tank. The best part was he never saw it coming. My (April) favorite part was the photo booth where I got to take pictures with all of my friends in funny poses. It was awesome, and now I have a photo to capture the memory. Also, I had fun with the obstacle course. And I loved the food. “If we had no Winter the Spring would not be so pleasant” -Anne Bradstreet 2 12 LaMuth Middle School Issue 2, Spring 2015 Red Nose Day Organization Raises Money for Charities By Halle Leroux including celebrities, like One Direction, Blake Shelton, and more, put their funny faces on and In the UK, people get discriminated for celebrated March 13th and May 21st for charity. mental health problems.

  • Winkie Dm 1 Pdsa Dickin Medal Winkie Dm 1
    WINKIE DM 1 PDSA DICKIN MEDAL WINKIE DM 1 “For delivering a message under exceptionally difficult conditions and so contributing to the rescue of an Air Crew while serving with the RAF in February, 1942.” Date of Award: 2 December 1943 WINKIE’S STORY Carrier pigeon, Winkie, received the first PDSA Dickin Medal from Maria Dickin on 2 December 1943 for the heroic role she played in saving the lives of a downed air crew. The four-man crew’s Beaufort Bomber ditched in the sea more than 100 miles from base after coming under enemy fire during a mission over Norway. Unable to radio the plane’s position, they released Winkie and despite horrendous weather and being covered in oil, she made it home to raise the alarm. Home for Winkie was more than 120 miles from the downed aircraft. Her owner, George Ross, discovered her and contacted RAF Leuchars in Fife to raise the alarm. “DESPITE HORRENDOUS WEATHER AND BEING COVERED IN OIL SHE MADE IT HOME ...” Although it had no accurate position for the downed crew, the RAF managed to calculate its position, using the time between the plane crashing and Winkie’s return, the wind direction and likely effect of the oil on her flight speed. They launched a rescue operation within 15 minutes of her return home. Following the successful rescue, the crew held a celebration dinner in honour of Winkie’s achievement and she reportedly ‘basked in her cage’ as she was toasted by the officers. Winkie received her PDSA Dickin Medal a year later.

This was the first burn of its kind in modern Marin County, being held on private land and led by a non-government entity. The burn was a resounding success. Our 99-years- young founder, Dr. Martin Griffin, even did us the great honor of igniting the start of our test burn; it was a reverent scene to say the least. We had representation and support from so many great partners, including: •Marin County Fire, Golden Gate National Recreation Area Fire (GGNRA), Founder Dr. Marty Griffin lighting off the unit with Bolinas Fire District, Central Marin Fire and Stinson Beach Volunteer Fire Fire Forward Director Sasha Berleman and Burn Department; •Crew of highly-trained wildland fire-qualified volunteers coming from a range of backgrounds including State Parks, Resource Conservation District, UC Berkeley’s Wildland Fire Science Lab and Forestry Department, San Jose State Meteorology Lab, Wildlands Conservancy, Pepperwood Preserve, private ranchers and landowners/managers; •An impressive team of ACR staff to support with logistics (including feeding of fifty people, parking, check-in, parking management, etc.) and assist on the fire line (running the pump and operating our water- pumping capable side-by-side). — continues on pages 7, 8 A Look at What’s Inside Reflections on the A Wild Ride to the A Closer Look at Bourne Ridge Need A Good Winter A Winter Dinner Fall Season Farallon Islands Fall Hiking Controlled Burn Read?
