Football, before the 19th century, referred to any number of ballgames played on foot. Each game had different rules, some al-lowing the use of hands, running games and others - just kickinggames. One legend has it that the football game, rugby, (Ameri-can football’s ancestor) was invented by an Englishman namedWilliam Ebb Ellis, who grew tired of the no hands restriction, sohe picked the ball up and ran. To enforce the rules, the other play-ers tackled the fellow that ran. Whether or not this was true, foot-ball does have its beginnings with rugby.

The first games that would become American football are foundin the 19th century, in the games played by students at eliteschools and universities of the United States.

Walter Camp is widely considered the “father” of modern Amer-ican football. Between 1880 and 1883, this coach at Yale came upwith several major adjustments to the game.

Walter camp was born April 17, 1859. He attended Yale from1876 to 1882, where he studied business and medicine. He was

Campplayed footballwhile at Yale andhelped evolvethe rules of thegame away fromrugby and soc-cer rules into therules of Ameri-can Football aswe know themtoday.

The changes Walter Camp contributed to American Foot-ball were as follows:• One side retained undisputed possession of the ball until thatside gives up the ball as a result of its own violations.• The line of scrimmage.• 11 on a team instead of 15.• Created the quarterback and center positions.• Forward pass.• Standardized the scoring system, numerical scoring.• Created the safety, interference penalties and the neutral zone.• Tackling as low as the knee was permitted - 1888.• A touchdown increased in value to six points and field goals wentdown to three points - 1912.

What is it that reporters do? They investigate leads, news tips,and write stories that appear in newspapers, magazines or thatare told on television and radio. They inform us about events,

observations, readdocuments, takenotes, presentpoints of view oncurrent issues andinterview people.Reporters canwrite their storiesor make broad-casts if he or she isworking as a news-caster or a newsanchor.

weather, or religion. Investigative reporters cover stories that maytake days or weeks of information gathering. Some even use cam-eras when on the scene of an investigation.

A reporter is under pressure to meet deadlines and in most cases- every day. They can work in private offices, in large rooms withother reporters, in the field, live at the scene - basically anywhereand they must work long hours at times. The reporter’s scheduleis usually not 8 to 5. A reporter may work nights, or early morningsand it may also involve weekend work. Traveling is required formost reporting jobs. Many reporters enter information using laptopcomputers and electronically submit their material to their officesfrom remote locations.

To do this job, a bachelor’s degree in journalism is preferred.Working at school newspapers or broadcasting stations is goodexperience that an employer would look for. An internship at anews organization may also help.

A reporter needs to write effectively and clearly, plus be able totype on the computer. You need word processing and desk toppublishing skills. It also helps if you can speak a second language.While in high school, it is important to take English, journalism, so-cial studies, speech, computer science and any writing classes.

Abraham Lincoln16th President of the United States 1861-1865

Lincoln’s Portrait OnThe $5.00 Bill

Lincoln's likeness onMount Rushmore

The Lincoln Penny

The Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C.

"I was born Feb. 12, 1809, in Hardin County, Kentucky. My parentswere both born in Virginia, of undistinguished families - second fami-lies, perhaps I should say. My mother, who died in my tenth year, wasof a family of the name of Hanks.... My father ... moved from Kentuckyto ... Indiana, in my eighth year.... It was a wild region, with many bearsand other wild animals still in the woods. There I grew up.... Of coursewhen I came of age I did not know much. Still somehow, I could read,write, and cipher ... but that was all."

Lincoln made extraordinary efforts to attain knowledge while workingon a farm, splitting rails for fences, and keeping store at New Salem, Illi-nois. He was a captain in the Black Hawk War, spent eight years in theIllinois legislature, and rode the circuit of courts for many years. His lawpartner said of him, "His ambition was a little engine that knew no rest."

He married Mary Todd, and they had four boys, only one of whomlived to maturity. Back in Springfield, he gradually began to prosper asa lawyer, often representing business interests, but his eloquently statedanti-slavery views gained him increasing attention. In 1858 Lincoln ranagainst Stephen A. Douglas for Senator. He lost the election, but in de-bating with Douglas he gained a national reputation that won him theRepublican nomination for President in 1860. Although he receivedonly 40% of the popular vote, due to a split in the Democratic Party, Lincoln won a majority of the Electoral College votes. Al-though he had stated his willingness to tolerate slavery where it currently existed, his election precipitated the secession ofSouthern states and the formation of the Confederacy.

In the years of civil war that followed, the inexperienced Lincoln proved to be one of the most extraordinary leaders, both po-litical and moral, the USA has ever seen. First defining the war as being fought over secession rather than slavery, he oversawthe creation of the Union army. When the political time was right he announced the Emancipation Proclamation (Sept. 1862),thereby interpreting the war as a crusade against slavery, and later oversaw the passage of the Thirteenth Amendment (1865)which legally ended slavery. With his immortal Gettysburg Address (Nov 1863), he stated most movingly: "that we here highlyresolve that these dead shall not have died in vain--that this nation, underGod, shall have a new birth of freedom - and that government of the people,by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."

Lincoln won re-election in 1864, as Union military triumphs heralded an endto the war. In his planning for peace, the President was flexible and gener-ous, encouraging Southerners to lay down their arms and join speedily inreunion.

The spirit that guided him was clearly that of his Second Inaugural Ad-dress, now inscribed on one wall of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C.: "With malice toward none; with charity for all; with firmness in the right,as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in;to bind up the nation's wounds.... "

On Good Friday, April 14, 1865, Lincoln was assassinated at Ford's The-atre in Washington by John Wilkes Booth, an actor. The nation was truelysaddened as one of it’s greatest leaders had fallen.

Camp fires, ghost stories, and Halloween all go together with fall like apple cider anddoughnuts. When it comes to creepy stories, few things are more horrifying than beingstalked by a possessed being. In 1983, we wereintroduced to Steven King's "Christine". Both thebook and movie revolve around a 1958 PlymouthFury, named Christine, that is possessed by evil.Set in 1978, the neglected vehicle is purchasedand restored back to "life" by its second owner, a high school teen.The car then turns on anyone who challenges it or the young man. In the last scene,after the car is destroyed and reduced to a cube of wreckage, we see that the "spirit"within may once again bring her back to life. Creepy indeed.

Why Do EvergreensStay Green All Year

Round?Evergreen trees - also known as conifers (because of the cones

that hold their seeds) include spruce, fir and pine trees. Unlike de-ciduous trees which loose all of their leaves at the same time, ever-greens do not. They are able to make new leaves before the oldones fall off. Some evergreens can keep their leaves a few yearsbefore they fall off!

Evergreens have adapted to live in climates where there maybe limited annual sunshine and/or available water. They thrive incold climates. Their leaves have adapted to make the most of this.The evergreen leaves look like needles. Botanists discovered that

the needles are actually reg-ular leaves that are rolled upvery tightly. This shape al-lows the evergreen to con-serve water. They also havea very waxy coating thathelps save water during thesummer and winter months.

The leaves on evergreentrees have the same functionas leaves of other trees.They make food for the treeby using photosynthesis. Theleaves are often dark greenindicating that a lot of sun-ab-sorbing chlorophyll is pres-ent. By having a lot of smallleaves that are packed withchlorophyll, the tree gathersas much energy as it can toprepare for the lack of sun-light during the winter months

as evergreens do photosynthesis all year around. The dark coloralso keeps the tree warm in its cold environment because thedarker leaves absorb more sunlight.

In cold climates where the evergreen lives, even with a largeamount of precipitation, the water is often frozen and unavailable tothe tree. When that happens, the evergreen will go dormant andrest until conditions are right for photosynthesis to start again. Thesmall surface area and the thick coating of wax on the needle likeleaves allows the tree to retain more water. There is less surfacearea available for evaporation.

The small leaves also have small holes called stomata that areused for gas exchange. These can be closed very tightly to stopwater loss. The small pointy leaves and the cone-like shape of thetree itself, sheds snow more easily than other trees so the ever-greens are not as likely to break under the weight of snow and ice.

Try This!Put two cups of water on a table in the sun. Leave one cup open

to the air. Cover the other cup with plastic wrap. Notice how thesun’s energy begins to evaporate the water? From which cup isthe water evaporating faster? The answer to this experiment willhelp you understand how the waxy coating on evergreen leaves orneedles helps conserve water for the tree.

year,” said Preschool Director Mrs. Jenny Smyczynski. “On the first day of school, each student had the opportunity to put glitter on their star so we could post them in the hallway next to a picture of themselves holding a preschool sign.” The children will continue to learn about how they can let their light shine as they learn, work, and play together as a school family, she added. The Kindergarteners, meanwhile, made flowers for their first craft project. “I thought it would be a great project to do for the first day to remind the children that we are growing and developing our skills as we work our way through kindergarten,” said their teacher Ms. Jordan Giordano. The first graders took a different direction on their initial project of the school year. “I wanted to get to know the children while helping the

students to get to know each other too, so we made head pictures of ourselves and then wrote about something that we like,” said first grade teacher Mrs. Andrea Kacher. While each teacher took a slightly different approach to the first project of the year, it was clear s t u d e n t s were quickly getting into the swing of things and starting the school year off with a bang!

Dogs!The dog is a domestic subspecies of the wolf and they are a

mammal. The domestic dog has been (and continues to be) oneof the most widely-kept working and companion animals inhuman history.

The dog has developed into hundreds of varied breeds. Mixed-breed dogs or mongrels are dogs that do not belong to a specificbreed. Height measured to the base of the neck or withersranges from a few inches in the Chihuahua to a few feet in theIrish Wolfhound. Their color varies from white through grays(usually called blue) to black, and browns from light (tan) to dark"red" or "chocolate" in a wide variation of patterns. The dog’scoat can be very short to several inches long, from coarse hair tosomething like wool, straight, curly, or smooth. Mixed breed dogsand purebred dogs are both suitable as companions, pets,working dogs, or competitors in dog sports.

Based on DNA evidence, the wolf ancestors of moderndogs came from other wolves about 100,000 years ago,and dogs were domesticated from those wolf ancestorsabout 15,000 years ago. This date would make dogs thefirst species to be domesticated by humans. As humansmigrated around the planet, so did dogs.

Dogs are valued for their intelligence. This intelligenceis expressed differently with different breeds and individu-als however. For example, Border Collies are noted fortheir ability to learn commands, while other breeds maynot be so motivated towards obedience, but instead showtheir cleverness in devising ways to steal food or escapefrom a yard! Being highly adaptable animals themselves,dogs have learned to do many jobs as required by hu-mans over the generations. Dogs are employed in variousroles across the globe, proving invaluable assets in areassuch as search-and-rescue, law enforcement (includingattack dogs, sniffer dogs and tracking dogs), guards forlivestock - people or property, herding, Arctic explorationsled-pullers, guiding the blind and acting as a pair of earsfor the deaf, assisting with hunting, and a great many otherroles which they may be trained to assume.

COLDWEATHER

CARE• Don't leave your dog outside in the cold for longperiods of time. Wind chill makes days colder thanactual temperature readings. • Adequate shelter is a necessity. Keep your dogwarm, dry, and away from drafts. • Be extra careful when walking or playing withyour dog near frozen lakes, rivers or ponds. Yourdog could slip or jump in and get seriously injured.• Groom your dog regularly. Your dog needs awell-groomed coat to keep him properly insulated.Short- or coarse-haired dogs may get extra coldso consider getting them a sweater or coat.• Feed your dog additional calories if he spends alot of time outdoors or is a working animal. It takesmore energy in the winter to keep their body tem-perature regulated, so additional calories are nec-essary.• Towel or blow-dry your dog if it gets wet from rainor snow. It is important to dry and clean their paws,too. This helps avoid tiny cuts and cracked pads.• Don't leave your dog alone in a car. It gets toocold and carbon monoxide from an engine left run-ning is dangerous.

Giraffes Are One OfThe World’s Tallest Mammals!

• Giraffes are one of the world's tallest mammals. They are wellknown for their long necks, long legs, and spotted patterns. Giraffeshave small "horns" or knobs on top of their heads that grow to beabout five inches long. These knobs are used to protect the head infights.• Male giraffes are larger than females. Males weigh between 2,400and 3,000 pounds and stand up to 19 feet tall! Female giraffes weighbetween 1,600 and 2,600 pounds and grow to be 16 feet tall.• Healthy giraffes live about 25 years in the wild.• Giraffes can be found in central, eastern and southern Africa.• Giraffes live in the savannas of Africa, where they roam freelyamong the tall trees, arid land, dense forests and open plains.

• Their long necks helpthem eat leaves from talltrees, typically acaciatrees. If they need to, gi-raffes can go for severaldays without water. In-stead of drinking, giraffesstay hydrated by themoisture from leaves.• Giraffes are non-territo-rial, social animals. Theytravel in large herds thatare not organized in anyway. Herds may consistof any combination ofsexes or ages.• Female giraffes typi-cally give birth to onecalf. During the first weekof its life, the mothercarefully guards her calf.Young giraffes are veryvulnerable and cannot

defend themselves. Nursery groups of young animals are left alone to-gether during the day while their mothers feed. The 6-foot-tall calfgrows rapidly asmuch as an inch aday. By 2 monthsthe young giraffe iseating leaves and at6 months is fairly in-dependent of itsmother.• Giraffes have adistinctive way theywalk, moving bothright legs forward,then both left.

• It is common to find 3 generations of a Chinese family living to-gether in the same house. Often the grandparents look after chil-dren when their parents work, and in exchange the grandparentsare taken care of as well. This was helpful when there wasn’t anynursing homes existing in China. Festivals are often a busy time aswell, and families that moved into the city for better careers returnback home to celebrate with their loved ones.

One ofthe most popular animals inChina is the Giant Panda, andthis animal is considered a na-tional treasure. The GiantPanda is found near theYangtze River.

Made up of twelveanimals, the zodiac supposedly can tell something about a persondepending on what year they were born in. If you were born in theyear of a certain animal, you reflect traits of that animal in your per-sonality.
