Ashby students will go out into

the community and help out with

jobs to improve and clean up

I am going to talk about the

senior class trip. The class went to

Mount Olympus in Wisconsin

Dells for the weekend. If you

don’t know anything about Wis-

consin Dells it is a water and

theme park in Wisconsin.

It was a six hour bus trip

there. We left right after school

last Friday and came back on

Monday around five in the after-

noon. We went on a jet boat ad-

venture, bowling, and had pizza at

Chalet Lanes. It was fun spending

this time together as a class!

Police Say A Pigeon Made This

Nest Out Of Used Syringes A photo that police say shows

a pigeons nest made out of hypo-

Iron Maiden’s Fear of the

Dark turns 25

Released on May 11, 1992,

Iron Maiden was a band in serious

need of a creative boost. Their

second album, since co-founder

guitarist Adrian Smith left, in-

cluded such songs as the title

track Fear of the Dark and The

Fugitive.

Snapchat has just introduced

some exciting new features! Be-

fore you read any further, get your

Snapchat ready so we can enjoy

this new update together.

In a press release, Snapchat

stated the new features would

serve to reduce frustration and

increase creativity. That's right.

Along with a new “Magic Eraser”

and “Loop” tool, Snapchat is

giving users the option to create

“limitless snaps”! Though it kind

of defeats the initial purpose of

Snapchat, at least we won't have

to use screenshots.

I’m trying to see the good in

this, but I just find it weird that

Snapchat would just get rid of

their initial concept!

Top ten things to do this sum-

mer...

1. Swimming...

2. Traveling...

3. Bonfires...

4. Jumping on a trampoline!

5. Go star gazing.

6. Hang out with your friends and

family.

7. Listen to music.

8. Go tubing, play pool, play

beach volleyball.

9. Go camping.

10. Have Fun!

Monitor lizard once thought to

be extinct rediscovered

Varanus douarrha, a species

of monitor lizards discovered in

the early 19th century was redis-

covered on the island of Papua

New Guniea. The species meas-

ures in at around four feet long.

Snapchat Trivia:

~Snapchat’s co-founders are Evan

Spiegel and Bobby Murphy.

~Originally Snapchat was called

Picaboo.

~Inspiration for the disappear-

ing messages came to Spiegel

and Murphy after a friend re-

gretted sending a photo to some-

one else.

Teams that could make deals with

Vegas ahead of the Expansion

Draft...

Minnesota Wild ~

While some teams aren’t at a

great risk of losing any important

players, Minnesota is in a position

to see at least one player from the

middle of the lineup head to Ve-

gas.

They have to clear up some Salary

Cap space. They

have 6 players that

they need to sign

and they only have

6 million dollars to

spend which is like

nothing in the

hockey world.

Louis Armstrong , aka

Satcho, Pops, and Ambassador

Satch, was born in New Orleans,

Louisiana on August 4, 1891. His

father was a factory worker that

left him as soon as he was born

along with his mother. He was

raised by his grandma. He had to

begin working after completing

the fifth grade by delivering coal.

In 1912 he fired off his stepfa-

thers gun in the air during New

Year’s Eve and was sent to the

Colored Waif’s Home for Boys

for shooting it. That’s where he

discovered his love for music and

went on to become Joe “King”

Oliver’s apprentice.

In 1918 he married Daisy

Parker. They adopted a three year

old boy from his cousin. His first

recorded solo was “Chimes

Blues” with Oliver in April, 1923.

In 1936, he became the first Afri-

can American Jazz musician to

write an autobiography.

Armstrong died in his sleep

on July 6, 1971 at his home in

Queens, New York.

The Dark

Secrets Books

by Elizabeth

Chandler are a

new series of

books in the

library that I

can not seem

to put down.

The Dark Secrets books are

more of the mysterious type of

books where you read about the

characters solving murders that

have happened to people close to

their family or in the family.

Some of these murders have hap-

pened from 1 year ago to 50 years

ago. Along with mysteries these

books also contain some magic

and crazy over protective fami-

lies.

Once I started these books I

knew that I would not be able to

put them down.

Nick Burkhardt of the Port-

land Police Department is a

Grimm and is assigned to protect

the people in Wesen from mytho-

logical creatures like Blutbad and

Fuchsbau. Before Nick can start

hunting these creatures he has to

figure out which ones are his

friends and which are his en-

emy's. Eventually he finds Mon-

roe who is a Blutbad and Rosalie

who is a Fuchsbau. These two

and some others help Nick and

his partner Hank solve Wesen

based crimes that normal cops

would never be able to solve.

If you want to watch this

show it is on the FOX channel or

you may have to buy them or rent

them from the Viking Library

System since Grimm is not on

Netflix.

G-Eazy

G-Eazy’s real name is Gerald

Earl Gillum. This American rap-

per and record producer from

Oakland, California made a first

major label album called These

Things Happen, released on June

23, 2014. The album became #3

on the US Billboard 200.

G–Eazy was not really popu-

lar until his single Me, Myself,

and I came out which reached the

top 10 of the US Billboard Hot

100.

G-Eazy has not had an easy

life. His mother left his father.

Gillum decided to move in with

his grandparents. He ended up

accepting his mom and grew close

to her. His mother was dating a

woman names Melissa Mills. He

became even closer to Mills. Later

on G-Eazy came home one day

and found Mills dead on the floor

from an overdose on her depres-

sion pills. He tells about this ex-

perience in the last verse of Eve-

rything Will Be Ok on his third

album.

“Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.

2” is a 2017 American superhero

film based on the Marvel Com-

ics superhero team Guardians of

the Galaxy. It is produced

2014's “Guardians of the Gal-

axy” and the fifteenth film in

1961 Oldsmobile Super 88

The ‘61 Oldsmobile is part of

the 5th generation of 88’s made.

A good ice cream shop to

road trip to this summer would be

Granny’s Pantry in Battle Lake,

MN.

Granny’s Pantry has a huge

assortment of ice-cream, salt wa-

ter taffy, fudge, and other types of

candy.

One of the main reasons my

family travels up there is because

of their homemade cones. We

went up to Granny’s one time,

and one of the workers was mak-

ing cones in the window for eve-

ryone to see. It was a great to see

that people still care so much

about their costumers.

Another reason we go up

there is because my mom is a

huge fan of salt

water taffy. They

have every flavor

that you can think

of! If you’re not

into ice-cream or

candy they have a

decent selection of fudge too.

It’s a very popular place to go

during the summer. If you’re in

the area make sure you swing in

and grab a scoop or two of your

favorite kind of ice cream or

candy!

All you need for this easy no-

bake granola bar snack is: 2 cups of oatmeal

1/2 cup sliced almonds 1/4 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup agave

2 Tbsp of coconut oil 2 tsp of vanilla extract

1/2 tsp of salt

1 cup of chocolate chips (or more) Nutella

Spray an 8x8” dish with

cooking spray and preheat your

oven to 325. On a baking sheet,

spread the oats, coconut and al-

monds. Put in the oven for 15-18

min or until golden. While you're

waiting, combine the brown

sugar, agave, coconut oil, vanilla

and salt and cook over medium

heat until combined. Then, pour

toasted oat mixture into the sauce-

pan and mix everything together.

Pour into the sprayed dish and

press down so it’s even and push

down so they stay together. Driz-

zle melted chocolate chips or

nutella over the top and let cool.

What you need for this simple

summer craft is: Q-tips

Yellow Play Dough Green Pipe Cleaner

Construction Paper

First you can go ahead and cut

all of the Q–tips in half. Roll the

yellow play dough into a ball with

your hands. Once you form a ball,

slightly flatten it between the

palms of your hands. Put the Q-

tips into the play dough all around

the outside with the cotton part

sticking out. Next poke a green

pipe cleaner into the side of your

play dough to form your stem.

The traditional Yearbook sign-

ing Party was held on Wednesday,

May 17 in the cafeteria. Students

got friends signatures and shared

memories of the school year. The

senior class dedicated the 2017 Ar-

row to Mrs. Umlauf.

Hill and assistant Mikayla Dahlen

on creating the best yearbook ever!
