They were given a project to research and present their findings about Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Johann Sebastian Bach or Ludwig Von Beethovan.

They then had to mount their informa...
as told by Kanietakeron This is a Mohawk story that was told to children. A long, long time ago there was a village on the bend of a river. On one sunny day, a hunter was out in the forest looking for game. While walking along a trail, he stumbled on a hole. He stood back, scratched his head, and thought to himself, “This wasn’t here yesterday.” He went uphill to get a better look at the hole. His hair stood up. He rubbed his eyes and looked again. That hole was not just any hole, it...

Can you imagine what it would be like to emit a chemical that would make a house grow around you? Well, insects can do just that! The houses the insects build are called galls. Galls are growths on leaves, stems, and the twigs of many different plants that are caused by irritation, damage or a chemical secretion that comes from insects while they are laying their eggs. Aphids and sawflies are the main insects that cause galls, but some moths, beetles, nematodes, psyllids, and true bugs als...

I know I always talk about what a big boy Baby T has become. I think about how he isn’t that little baby of mine anymore a lot. And this weekend I actually bought a pair of shorts in the “big kid” section of Wal-Mart. Not the baby section that we all browse through even when we no longer have an infant. But it’s like a routine you grab what you need, then wander around aimlessly oohing and awing over teeny outfits. When I got home I wanted to cry thinking about how unless I had another baby I wasn’t going to be shopping in that section a...
One of the things the fire department does is provides safety coverage at the racetrack. The crew is all volunteer from within the volunteer fire department so you can see how it is specialized. Dad started his career back in the late sixties and early seventies working at the Fort Covington International Speedway. He was part of the staff. I’m not sure what he did but he was at not only at the races every week and somehow managed to get someone to pay him to be there. That stint lasted until the track was forced to shut down due to an u...
For 35 years, this book has shown the true effects of drugs and the consequences that some actually do face. This is the diary of a drug addict. “Alice” was 14 years old when she had her first drink laced with LSD. Even thought she didn’t know it was there, she still relished in the effect it had on her. She could touch stars and hear colors. Alice immediately got hooked on the drug and begins hanging with the people she knows can get her what she wants. After a while though, Alice begins to realize that maybe this is stupid, maybe she shoul...
