A wise man once said, ―What you are is God‘s gift to you,
what you become is your gift to God.‖ That statement came from
America‘s hero Roger Donlon. Donlon grew up in Saugerties and
was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for his bravery in
the Vietnam War.
Donlon was among several other American heroes that
were at Saugerties High School on October 10, 2013. These men
represented WWII, Korea, Vietnam and the Iraq wars. All students
in 4-6th grade attended this assembly.
In 1964, Roger Donlon led the defense of the Special
Forces camp at Nam Dong against a reinforced Battalion of Viet
Cong. He became not only the first winner of the Medal of Honor
of the Vietnam War, but also the first Special Forces recipient of
America‘s highest award for bravery. Donlon and his fel-
low heroes spoke about their experiences and all gave a
message about the importance of being good citizens to
preserve our country‘s freedom.

SAUGERTIES’ WITNESS TO HISTORY
JPI Exclusive – ―That kid is
never gonna win a Nobel Peace
Prize,‖ is a phrase that echoed
through many towns about a great
many children who seemed to walk
to a different beat. Now, in
the small town of Sauger-
ties, NY, it resonates with
surreal irony . Thirty years
and more than 7000 miles
later, ―that kid‖ and his col-
leagues were honored with
the world‘s most prestigious
honor, the Nobel Prize for
Peace in Oslo, Norway.
Peter Zmiyarch,
graduate of Saugerties High
School and St. Mary of the Snow School. was
recognized with his colleagues at the Organiza-
tion for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons
(OPCW) for their work in ridding the world of
chemical weaponry.
According to the New York Times
October 12 edition, “The Norwegian Nobel
Committee awarded its 2013 Peace Prize
on Friday to a modest and little-known
United Nations-backed organization that
has drawn sudden attention with a mis-
sion to ensure that Syria’s stocks of
chemical arms are eradicated. The
award, to the Organization for the Prohi-
bition of Chemical Weapons, surprised
some Nobel watchers partly because of
the unprecedented nature of its current
task: overseeing the destruction of a pre-
viously secret chemical weapons program quickly
amid a raging civil war.”
In an exclusive interview with the Sau-
gerties native who accepted this honor with his
co-workers, Zmiyarch reported in a recent inter-

Along with Roger Donlon, Ronald Rosser, a
Medal of Honor recipient from the Korean War spoke
about the responsibilities of being a US citizen. ―It is
now your responsibility to keep our country free,‖ he
told the packed SHS Auditorium. Rosser served in
Korea and saved many injured fellow soldiers that
were under attack. While injured, no matter what he
helped his fellow soldiers who were more injured
than he.
Sergeant First Class, Dillard Johnson, pre-
sented our school district with a very special artifact
from the Iraq War. ―To the best of my knowledge,
this is the first American Flag that flew over Iraq‘‖ he
explained. Johnson is a highly decorated soldier from
the Iraq war. In a special ceremony, Johnson gave
the flag and a couple of artifacts to Mr. Glass, a
teacher in the Saugerties District. Mr. Glass served in
the military before becoming a teacher.
Johnson also challenged the students and teachers of the district. ―You have
a hard task ahead of you. You have to take the legacy that we have left you and build
something from it,‖ he said. He also
reminded teachers to never give up on
their students because one never knows
what they might become if they are
given a chance to succeed.
Russell Gackenback who wit-
nessed the atomic explosions on Hi-
roshima and Nagasaki, Japan, encour-
aged students to talk with grandparents
about their experiences in the military.
―If any of you have grandfathers who
served in WWII, Korea, and all the
other wars, don‘t be afraid to ask them
what they did. You might be surprised
by what they say,‖ he said. ―For many
years, we were reluctant to talk, but
found it was necessary,‖ he added.
Other veterans that spoke at
this assembly were Bataan Death
March survivor Walt Straka; Pearl Har-
bor survivor Chick Galella; 502nd Airborne paratrooper Guy Whidden; Clarence
Jansen who participated in the invasion of Italy; Korean War Prisoner of War David
Mills and US marine RV Burgin who fought in the Pacific region of the war.
These men gave every American the precious gift of freedom and the impor-
tance of serving for a higher purpose.

view with Just Print It, ―This could not have come at a better time. For the last couple of years
everyone has been overworked stressed, frustrated! We have been risking our lives on a daily
basis in places like Iraq, Libya, and now Syria. Yesterday‘s surprise announcement has boosted
everyone's spirits and morale! It is also a signal for countries to not just talk, but to give the re-
sources for us to fulfill the mandate given to us. ‖ Zmiyarch has worked as the Assistant Head of
Operations Security at OPCW located in The Hague, Netherlands, since 2007. ―It feels great to
win, because the last few months have been like flying the airplane as we design and build it. No
one has done what we are doing. The award is for the approximately 2000 people who served in
the OPCW since its inception 17 years ago. It is a privilege to serve with such a professional and
noble group.‖
1990 Nobel Peace Prize Winner Mikhail S. Gorbachev, the former Soviet leader, re-
marked in a statement of the award, ―O.P.C.W. has worked tirelessly to rid the world of chemical
weapons, and the organization is a deserved winner of the Nobel Peace Prize.‖ Gorbachev‘s advo-
cacy group Green Cross International, based in Geneva,
has collaborated closely with the chemical weapons watch-
dog.
Pete grew up in Saugerties and was involved in
all sorts of activities and sports as a youngster. He was also
well-known for his humor and spirit. It was not uncommon
to see Pete leading a crowd of buddies around town enjoy-
ing their youth. Although he was an extremely capable stu-
dent, it was hard to imagine him seeking the academic path-
way to his future. After graduating from Saugerties in 1983,
Zmiyarch joined the United States Marine Corps. While
waiting to be called for training he attended Ulster County
Community College where he played on the basketball team
and continued to make many friends and keep the atmos-
phere light. However, he needed more than basketball and
books to keep him satisfied.
His military career with the Marines gave
him an insight to the world that no textbook could pro-
vide. He found his calling as a servant for the preservation
of humanity. However, he quickly disappeared from the
public eye and found himself involved in many critical,
highly specialized and confidential missions. ―I served in the Marines for 8 years and achieved the
rank of sergeant. I got out after the first Gulf War. I was part of Operations Desert Shield and De-
sert Storm and was decorated for my personal leadership and professional achievements during
combat in Iraq,‖ he modestly said.
In recognition of his military record, he found himself involved in other sensitive roles.
―In 1994 I joined the United Nations and in 1995 when the war crimes tribunal for the former
Yugoslavia was created, I moved to The Hague, Netherlands,‖ he explained. Zmiyarch was en-
trusted with heading security for these institutions. For over twenty years he routinely finds himself
in the company of heads of state, presidents, and world leaders. Living in the Netherlands for the past 18 years with his wife and three young children, he
has a unique global perspective. The military has put him in some of the poorest, most volatile
places around the world, now he sees things through the eyes of a husband and father. ―We live in
an asymmetrical world where there is great disparity between the haves and the have not‘s. There
are great issues facing the future of mankind and our planet itself.‖
Along with these tough issues, he advises young people, ―Keep your individualism and do
not worry about which path you take to get to the goal. You will find the way. There is no longer
any one formula to success, free thinkers are the ones who solve the world‘s problems, invent things
and are successful businesses entrepreneurs. As Albert Einstein said ‗the problems that exist in the
world today cannot be solved with the same level of thinking that created them.‘‖
Pete gives a great deal of credit to his hometown for helping him to contribute to the pres-
ervation of humanity. ―I owe much of my success in life to the fact that I come from Saugerties!
This may be hard to believe for kids but it is, it has all the right ingredients to make good world
citizens. It is small enough but known worldwide. It has a warm friendly community of good people
with good values and ideals that have all contributed to who I am today.‖
―I enjoy serving my country and working for noble causes, first as a Marine, then with
United Nations and now with the OPCW as an international civil servant,‖ he concluded.
―That kid‖ from this small town is making the world a safer place, and has a piece of the
Prize.

2013 marks the fifth
year at the helm of the Grant D.
Morse school for Mr. Dieckmann.
Mr. D. has demonstrated a love for
his students and school that is
comparable to his predecessors.
As the fourth principal
of Morse, it looks like he will have
the distinct privilege to be the
leader who celebrates the 50th
anniversary of this school. Though
many years shy of 50 himself, Mr.
D. surely relates to the significance
of this milestone.
To think that when the
school opened, no human had ever
been to the moon, Martin Luther
King was a young preacher, and
the Super Bowl was not even an
idea is quite remarkable, no mat-
ter your age.
As Mr. D. embarks on
his next 5 years as leader of this
school, surely he will be thinking of
how the school can be entrusted to
serve the needs of students for the
next fifty years.

The Mustangs regained the
Green Apples Cup for the first time
since Mustang Bowl V in 2007 with a
14-6 victory. The Mustangs defense
was the deciding factor in the game.
In a game defined by the de-
fensive play of each team, the Mustangs had many incredible plays to
keep the Patriots from getting any mo-
mentum. The Patriots did not cross mid-
field in the first half.
Fumbles, interceptions and a
record setting total for sacks made this
game a defensive beauty. The game fea-
tured five interceptions, four by the Mus-
tangs, led by Alex Mooers pair of picks.
Eleven quarterback sacks marked a new
game record and kept the quarterbacks
under constant pressure. Mustangs nose
guard Ty Gallagher was named the win-
ner of the Mr. Turner Award for Out-
standing Line Play for his 5 sacks and
seven tackles. Gallagher already estab-
lished a new individual Mustang Bowl record in the first half with four
sacks and a half a game to play. There were a total of three fumbles, as
well.
The Mustangs had a 14-0 lead at halftime, and it appeared the
Patriots would not be able to get on the board. However, halftime ad-
justments to the Patriot defense created big problem's for the Mustangs‘
high powered offense.
Coach Erin Dudzic made a few adjustments to her Patriot de-
fense and they responded by completely shutting down the Mustangs for
the entire second half. The Mustangs were held scoreless behind the
defensive play of Max Winnie (6 tackles), Anthony Paff (5 tackles, 2
sacks), Caleb Judware and Craig Laurey (5 tackles). Kenny Farrell also
had a huge interception ripping the ball out of the Hands of a Mustangs‘
receiver. Winnie stopped two potential TD‘s with great plays on the out-
side where if he was beat, the Mustangs would have scored.
The game, however, may have come down to a
goal line stand by the Mustangs early in the fourth quarter
with the Patriots trailing 14-6. The Patriots clearly had
momentum on their side and were looking at third and
goal from the one yard line. The Patriots had just scored
and it looked like they were going to be scoring again.
Ty Gallagher sacked quarterback Craig Laurey for a huge
18 yard loss leaving fourth and goal at the 19. Laurey
called the 18 sweep and managed to pick up about three
yards, thus turning the ball over on downs.
One of the
most memorable plays
of the game came
when Patriot defensive
lineman Isaac Rice
stood up Skyler Sprague on a 22 dive. Sprague had
been ripping up yardage on each of his carries and Rice
had decided he‘d seen enough.
Though defense was the main story line, of-
fense was present, as well.
Early in the game Mustangs quarterback and
Offensive MVP Randy Dodig, found a favorite target
Dan MacIsaac for numerous big gains. MacIsaac‘s
catches were all of the
acrobatic variety in-
cluding his TD catch in
the corner of the end
zone to strike first
blood. Mac Isaac re-
minded fans of New
England Patriot TE
Rob Gronkowski, as
his incredible hand
strength picked balls
that would not be
caught by most receiv-
ers.
The Mustangs
scored aain in the sec-
ond quarter on a 17
sweep by Dodig and
followed it with a two-point kick by Defensive MVP
Annika Fisher.
In the second half the Patriots‘ offense gath-
ered momentum behind the mixed play calling of Craig
Laurey and efficient possessions. On a lengthy drive
late in the third quarter Laurey found wing back Vaiden
Ferraro three times inside
the twenty yard line for an
eventual score. Ferraro
picked up 8 yards and a
TD on three consecutive
plays.
The fourth quarter
was scoreless and the Mus-
tangs were able to taste
victory for the first time in
five years.

Girl Athletes at Morse By Carter Vail
When you think about athletes you probably think about
Derek Jeter, Colin Kaepernick, and Alex Rodriguez. But in Morse
school girls are also recognized as
great athletes and for good reasons.
Just because some of the most
popular professional sports players
are boys, you cannot forget about
the girls. Everyone has most likely
played sports weather recreational
or just for fun.
Madalyn Dodig a third
grader at Morse. Madalyn plays
softball, hockey, soccer, and dance
for recreation, but she also plays
basketball for fun. Madalyn‘s fa-
vorite is softball. She said ―It‘s my
favorite, because you get to hit,
catch, and throw the ball.‖ She
plays softball, dance and basketball
with Natalie Vail. She plays hockey with Owen Gallagher, and
hopes to play basketball in a league with Julia Quinlan. At this time
Madalyn is doing dance every Thursday and Monday at World of
Dance.
Natalie Vail is also in third grade at Morse. She plays soft-
ball, soccer, and dance
for recreation. She
hopes to join a basket-
ball league but for now
just plays basketball
for fun. Although she
plays many sports, she
quoted ―My favorite is
soccer. You pass the
ball, and shoot the
ball.‖ As stated earlier
she plays softball, bas-
ketball, and dance with
Madalyn Dodig.
V a i d e n
Ferraro is a fifth grader
at Grant D. Morse and
she plays basketball, dance, bowling and swimming. Her favorite
sport is dance she quotes ―I‘ve been in doing it for a while.‖ She
dances with many friends and they even were in the U.S. finals for
dance. She is currently doing dance and basketball. She is already
practicing for the winter. That is how you can tell an athlete is an
athlete.
Julia Quinlan is a sixth grader at Morse. She plays basket-
ball, soccer and baseball/softball. She also plays football at recess
with many other kids. She is an athlete on and off season. Her fa-
vorite sport she plays is basketball and she reported ―I really like to
play.‖ Julia‘s basketball team has been in the finals twice in the past
three years. She plays basketball with Erin Dudzic one of her best
friends.
Mustang Bowl I By Aidan Jurofcik
October 27, 2004 the date of the first annual Mus-
tang Bowl where the 5th graders [the Patriots] and the 6th
graders [the Mustangs] fought in the soon to be legendary
two hand touch football game at Grant D Morse Elemtray
School. The Mustangs won 13-0 the MVP was Jimmy
Zymiarch for throwing two successful touchdown passes to
Patrick Mullen.
Every day before 2004 kids would stay after
school to play football setup by Mr. Defino in 2003 the
children that stayed after decided to do a big football game
but it was too late then. Starting in September 2004 Mr.
Defino started to organize a football game [back then it was
optional, only a few of the 5th and 6th grade signed up].
The children asked why don‘t we have teams so
the 5th graders came up with Patriots and the 6th grade came
up with the Mustangs. Then the children asked why we
don‘t we have uniforms so they came up with their own
uniforms with their last name and number.
T h i s
month‘s Athlete of
the Month is Dominic
Gonzalez. Dominic is
ten years old and a
fifth grade student in
Mrs. Fanelli‘s class.
His favorite sport is
football. The team he
plays for is the Buzz.
This is a Saugerties
team, and there are five teams that play in this league. His
team practices two nights a week,
and there are 26 kids on his team.
The toughest team he played was
Rondout.
Dominic plays the posi-
tions of 2back and wide receiver.
Some of the equipment he has to
wear are leg pads, a helmet, and
shoulder pads. One of his most
challenging moments was when he
injured himself by pulling his neck
during a game against the Albany
Giants. Dominic went to the hospital and missed games
because of his injury, but he is back to playing now. He
played in the Mustang Bowl for the Mustang‘s.

Halloween
Social By Matthew Morgan
A sixth grader Mark Danza in Mrs.
Tuckers‘ class said, that he is excited to be
going to the Halloween Social because you
get to be with your friends. He is not dressing
up in his Halloween costume because he is
saving it for Halloween. He is not going with
any friends because he usually sees all of his
friends there. He doesn‘t really care what
songs they play. He wants to have a lot of
socials this year. Mark doesn‘t really dance
with any friends in particular. He is going to
take a picture with Matthew Morgan and Erik
Leaning. He could care less to have slow songs at the social.
Mark likes socials because you get to hang out with your
friends.
Shea Wickham is going to the social because he did-
n‘t go last year. He might go in his costume but it is not fin-
ished yet. He might go with his friends Kyiah Giannelli, Mark
Danza, Tyler Keener and Matthew Morgan because they are
his peeps. He wants them to play What does the fox say and
Gangman style. He said he wants to have five million socials
this year. He will dance with his friends Kyiah Giannelli, Mark
Danza, Tyler Keener and Matthew Morgan. He wants to get a
picture taken with Kyiah Giannelli, Mark Danza, Tyler Keener
and Matthew Morgan. He does not want slow songs because
they are awkward. He likes
socials because you get to hang
out with your friends and dance
your butt off.
Erin Dudzic doesn‘t
know how she feels about go-
ing to the social. She is not
dressing in her costume be-
cause she is saving it for Hal-
loween. She is going with her
friends Julia Quinlan, Mary
Mullen, Eva Rothe and Annika
Fisher. She wants them to play
new songs at the social. She
wants four socials this year.
She is going to dance with her
friends Julia Quinlan, Mary Mullen, Eva Rothe and Annika
Fisher. She is going to get a picture with Julia Quinlan, Mary
Mullen, Eva Rothe and Annika Fisher. She doesn‘t know if
she wants them to have slow songs. She likes socials because
they are lots of fun.
Jared Podmayersky is excited because you have to
earn the social. He is not wearing his costume because he
wants to be comfortable. He is not going to the social with his
friends because his mom is bringing him. He wants them to

a smore! Erin Dudzic is going to be a graham cracker along
with Eva Rothe. Me Mary Mullen, I am going to be the
chocolate bar.
Jared Podmayersky is going to be an old man. He
wants to be an old man because it‘s cool and funny. Anthony
Paff is going to be a zombie hunter, he wants to be a zombie
hunter because that was the only costume there that fits him.
So as you can see people got creative with their costumes this
year!
play what does the fox say
and wake me up. He wants
at least five socials for the
year. He is going to dance
with all of his friends. He is
going to get his picture taken with Matthew Morgan,
Anthony Paff, Randy Dodig, Ty Gallagher and Craig
Laurey. He thinks that there should be slow songs
because we are mature and responsible for them. He
likes socials because we get to dance and be free.
Alex Mooers said he doesn‘t really care
about going to his first social. He is going to dress
up in his mustang bowl jersey. He is going to go
with all of his friends. He wants them to play don‘t
drop that thun thun thun. He doesn‘t know how
m a n y
wants to take a picture with all of his friends. He
does not want slow songs to be played because he
stinks at slow dancing. He likes socials because it is
music to his ears.

that was held on Friday, October 18th 2013.

Minecraft Pocket Edition
0.8.0 update By Kyiah Giannelli
Minecraft is an immensely popular game that is
downloaded off the internet. Minecraft was released in 2009.
Then in 2011 Minecraft Pocket Edition was released as a
seven dollar app available for download off the Apple App
Store and Android's Google Play Store.
Minecraft PE (or Pocket Edition) has had many
changes applied to it to make it more like the computer ver-
sion of the game it is now more advanced than the App ver-
sion or the Pocket Edition as it will now be referred.
Minecraft PE has gone for the original update of
0.1.0 alpha to 0.7.6 alpha 0.6.0 being the update with the most
new features. The 0.8.0 update will soon be with us. 0.8.0
will be home to an all new host of features.
First of all one of the features that has been long
waited for is Redstone. Yup that's right! Redstone is the ore
that constantly taunts you in the mine because if you mine it, it
will not drop any Redstone dust. Well all of that's about to
change because now when you try to mine Redstone ore in
Minecraft PE 0.8.0 you will get Redstone dust.
Mine carts and rails will now be added into the game.
There will not be activator rails or detector rails but there will
be regular rails and powered rails. Redstone will be used in
the crafting recipe of Powered Rails. Powered Rails will al-
ways be powered until 0.9.0.
The new blocks for this update in creative and sur-
vival will be, carpets, birch, and spruce colored planks, slabs,
and stairs, cobble stone walls and mossy cobble stone walls,
iron bars, rails, powered rails, and possibly hay bales and coal
blocks (these are not definite).
New blocks in this update for creative only are,
sponges, jungle wood colored planks slabs and stairs, possibly
ice (this is not definite) and flint and steel.
New crops in this update will include pumpkins, car-
rots and potatoes.
New foods will be pumpkin pie, carrots and potatoes.
New items in this update will include mine carts, pumpkin
seeds and Redstone dust (again only for storage and crafting
powered rails). Tweaks are that now there is a far render dis-
tance option, mobs are now smarter (passive and hostile) Red-
stone ore now drops Redstone dust (again only for storage and
crafting powered rails), fire and lava now ignite TNT, and
wood blocks can now be placed on their side like in the PC
version, the hot bar is now transparent, and possibly a new crea-
tive menu.
There will also be some significant changes to the
graphics, one of the new graphical changes is exclusive to Mine-
craft PE it is also not definite that it will be added because one
of the developers says it looks bad, it is a new exclusive feature
where shadows move with the sun, there will also be stencil
shadows.
There will also be another PE exclusive feature which
is that mobs are affected by smooth lighting, the grass texture
has been changed to the texture of grass in Minecraft PC ver-
sion, the water and sky is now lighter colored, the sea will fade
to nontransparent in the distance, there may possibly be smooth
day-to-night transitions and tinted lighting, there will also be
mipmaps which make things in the distance look better.
Finally there will be 3D clouds and some bug fixes,
stay tuned for the article about Minecraft PE 0.9.0 update.
2013 World Series By Daniel MacIsaac, Jaden Incalcaterra,
and Alex Mooers
We took a
survey of students
and staff about who
would win the World
Series. The final vote
score was Red
So x:1 3 0 Card i -
nals:111.
The Red Sox
beat the cardinals in the 2004 World Series in a four game
sweep. The Red Sox went to the World Series by making a his-
torical comeback against the Yankees. The Sox were down three
games to none, but they roared back to cruise their way into the
World Series. The Red Sox won the first World Series, along
with the second.
This year style of beards make the fans come to every
game. They even have face painting booths so the fans can look
like the players!
The Cardinals scored on a great young pitcher named
Michael Wacha. Wacha had a no hitter with 2 outs in the ninth
inning against the Washington Nationals and an infield hit by
Ryan Zimmerman crushed the young pitchers dream of a no hit-
ter. Who do you think will win the World Series?

So far the NFL season is going
great, for some teams unlike the Pan-
thers, Steelers, and the Giants.
On the 29th of September the
New York Giants lost to the Kansas
City Chiefs 31-7. The Broncos beat the
Eagles, 52-20. So far this year has gotten off to a rough start, but not for Colin Ka-
epernick, he was a rookie but is a great football player he likes quarter back sneaks.
Another team doing well is the Seahawks the coach has them on a whole
new routine, and it seems to be working for them. The
Broncos are also doing well, Peyton Manning is a great
quarter back, they also have great receivers such as Wes
Welker he has had a good year so far.
It is said that the Broncos are to win the super
bowl this year. It is going to be played in Met Life stadium
(Giants / Jets) stadium. It is predicted that it will be the
Seahawks against the Broncos.
So far this year, ever since Ray Lewis left the Ra-
vens they haven‘t been playing right. Also the Jaguars are
working on a new strategy. Robert Griffin III and the Red-
skins won their last game against the Raiders. He said it
gives them time to relax now that they won a game.
Everyone is talking about Peyton Manning and Tom Brady; they are saying
Peyton is better than Tom and broke his record. But in 2007 he threw 70 touchdown
passes and Peyton Manning has already thrown 16 passes this year so far! Also the
Steelers are 0-4 for the first time since 1968!
The NFL should be a great year.

know.

Craig Laurey enjoys
having a good time and keeping his
classmates and friends smiling.
Sometimes, it has been told, he has a
little too much fun.
That may be true or it
may be fiction, but there is one
thing that Craig has that very few
people possess. Craig has informa-
tion regarding the person for whom
this school is named that only four
people know.
Everyone knows the Dr.
Grant D. Morse was an environ-
mentalist before it was popular,
everyone knows that Grant D.
Morse was an author of two books.
And everybody knows that Grant D.
Morse was a superintendent of
schools….
But Craig Laurey and the
Donlon brothers are the only ones
who have the most important fact
about Grant D. Morse. Perhaps, if
you are good to him and treat him
nicely, he will let you in on the little
secret.

Mrs. Sullivan By Craig Laurey
I interviewed Mrs. Sullivan on what
the change is like in kindergarten from sixth
grade. I ask her what is it like in kindergar-
ten, she said very, very, very busy, I‘m busy,
there busy, everybody‘s busy. Then I asked
are you enjoying it so far she answered, I
love it it‘s a great challenge. Mrs. Sullivan
misses most from sixth grade she stopped, and thought then said being able to sit
down and do something else why‘ll my kids are working independently. Also I
asked, did you enjoy sixth grade why‘ll you were there she answered yes but I
need to do something different for a change. I asked her, her opinion on what her
students think of her, she said that they tell her that she‘s the best teacher ever.
Then asked the students for their opinion. First I asked Marcus Vasquez he said
she‘s very nice and reads good books. Then I asked Johnny Marteen, he said she
nice and lets us go outside a lot. In conclusion this has been a look inside the
switches Morse has made this year, knows one knows what can come next.

For my first restaurant, I went to El Rancho
at 2904 Rt. 32 North, Saugerties NY.
The Villa family owns the restaurant. I sat
down with Elisa Villa to find out more about the res-
taurant. They have owned El Rancho for 28 years.
Before owning a restaurant, Elisa worked at a
factory. She‘s not really sure how she came into the
restaurant business. She had no restaurant experience
before El Rancho.
El Rancho is open Wednesday-Sunday
and from 3:30 to 11:00. In one week, they work
70 hours! The two busiest days on average are Friday and Saturday. Currently,
they have 5 employees. Their busiest season is in the summertime.
There is a mix between tourists and locals who dine at El Rancho. People
can work at El Rancho beginning at the age of 23. Their bestselling item is the
fajita. They offer daily specials.
Elisa said that the hardest part about owning a restaurant is the long
hours, but the best part is being your own boss. I asked Elisa and her son if I could
have a popular recipe of theirs. The recipe that they gave me was a popular des-
sert, the hot chocolate cake.
The recipe and steps are below.
“Hot Chocolate” Cake 3 sticks butter
¾ cup water
12 oz. semisweet chocolate chips
1 ½ cup sugar
2 ounces coffee
Pinch of salt
1 ½ tablespoon vanilla extract
6 eggs
Preheat oven 350 degrees.
Grease 6 1 ¼ cup baking dishes.
Combine butter and water in saucepan over high heat.
Bring mix to boil, stir well.
Turn off flame, add chocolate, sugar, coffee, salt. Stir until smooth.
Stir in vanilla.
Beat eggs in bowl. Whisk in chocolate mixture slowly.
Divide into baking dishes.
Bake until edges crack slightly and center is glossy about 25 minutes.
Optional-top with fluff and caramelize with torch.

PART

Minecraft is a game about
breaking and placing blocks. In this
game you can build anything you
want, or destroy anything.
In this series I will normally
be going over the PC/Mac (computer)
version of the game. It is available for purchase for $27.95 at www.minecraft.net .
You will need to enter the number from a credit/debit card or a Minecraft gift card
and then $27.95 will be deducted from the card and paid to Minecraft. From there,
you will then go on to choose a Minecraft username and a password for logging in
at minecraft.net. You will also have to provide an email address, and that will be
used for logging in at minecraft.net also (This is not to be confused with your
Minecraft username that you got to choose, which will be displayed in-game to
other players on multiplayer, and can be used for other special things like voting for
servers, but I‘ll get to that later.). You will then need to download the Minecraft
launcher off minecraft.net after logging in. Then you can open the launcher, click
the play button, and then the launcher will close automatically, and open Minecraft.
As of October 2013 the current version of Minecraft is version 1.6.4. At
this point Minecraft is filled with all kinds of fun things from fighting Blazes and
Ghasts in the nether, to the final battle
against the ender dragon in the end, to
mining deep underground in a monster
-filled cave, to just plain building,
Minecraft has so much to do.
To create a new world, at the title
screen, click the single player button,
and then click create new world.
From there you can select the ga-
memode (survival, hardcore, or crea-
tive) by clicking the survival button.
The button will then change to say hardcore, and then creative.
(For now, I will focus on survival mode, but I‘ll tell you about the other
game modes in later issues.) In survival mode you have to gather resources, and
you have a bar to represent your health.
If you die you will be able to respawn into the world, and keep playing.
Hardcore mode is the same as survival mode, but if you die you can never respawn,
and the world will be deleted.
Finally, in creative mode you can fly by double-tapping the space bar, you
have infinite resources, and can break any block with a single click. This is Part
One of Operation Mindcraft, please get the next issue of JPI for Part Two.

Rainbow Loom By Jared Pod mayersky
The rainbow loom is very popu-
lar in Morse Elementary School. If you
hadn‘t heard of it, you may have heard
about the crazy loom or the twisty bandz.
The loom uses tiny rubber bands that
make many designs particularly with the
rainbow loom. The easiest one in my
perspective is the single and the fishtail.
Also, some more that are a bit more ad-
vanced like the hexafish, the ladder, the
zippy chain, and the triple single pattern.
With two looms you can make even more
and better
designs. Like
the Hallow-
een theme
and the pin-
stripe pattern,
and many
more!
You can get a loom from
Michaels, Toys-R-Us, Walmart, and
Amazon. (online) the rainbow loom is
creating more and more cool designs. So
I hope you enjoy the new loom, it is ex-
tremely fun.

Super pig wakes up. He says hi to
Raycraft3r, who was still drooling on his
bed sleeping. Super pig didn‘t want to
wake him up so he slowly tiptoed past him.
He went outside and heard a
weird noise… the sound of a cow screech-
ing. Super pig went behind the house and
looked at what the mysterious noise was.
Suddenly, a very fat cow plopped
out of the corner and scared super pig half
to death. ―Jeez, u scared me u fat cow‘‘
says super pig.
The cow said, ―Sorry! I just love eating the hay you got here in your back
yard‘‘.
No wonder the cow was so fat... super pig said in his mind. ―Well, don‘t
eat all of it. I need it for the workers that we have in the house. They are all cows
too,‖ says Super pig.‖
Super pig had a frightened face. He was hoping that Raycraft3r wouldn‘t
see because he would be angry. ―Well, you enjoy that wheat in the back‘‘.
―Thank you!‖ said the cow.
As super pig wondered off, the cow was still staring at super pig. ―Why
isn‘t he looking away‘‘??? Super pig asked in his mind.
The cow had a sad look and fell to the ground. Super pig ran back to the
cow. ―What happened‘‘??? He asked.
―Steve.‖ The cow said.
Super pig looked confused.
‗‘STEVE!‘‘ the cow said falling to the ground…
(Silence)…
―We have to find out what happened‖ Super pig says to himself flying off
into the sunset.

Steve and the Pig By Shea Wickham
In Minecraft Steve spawned
in a forest biome, he quickly got
some wood before the sun went
down and the monsters came out
Steve then notices a pink round
thing; he walks closer to it. He real-
izes that the pink round thing is a pig,
Steve was about to kill the pig, but
the pig looked into his soul and con-
vinced Steve not to kill him. Steve
just left the pig alone and went to go
build his house, but the pig followed
him, and when Steve finished his
house he killed some sheep (sheep
give you wool when you kill them,
that‘s how you make a bed) and he
went to sleep.
The next day Steve went to
get some food and mine for some
iron so he could make some armor.
When he found a cow he was about
to kill it for some food, but the pig
looked into his soul again and con-
vinced him not to kill it. Feeling
weak, his hunger was very low and
he needed some his hunger was very
low and he needed some food fast,
but whenever he tried to kill some-
thing the pig would look into his soul
and convince him not to kill it.
At last, Steve was so hungry
he killed the pig that that was follow-
ing him, but the pig dropped no food,
and Steve died of hunger.

Did You Know?
Because the movie Halloween (1978) was
on such a tight budget, they had to use the
cheapest mask they could find for the char-
acter Michael Meyers, which turned out to
be a William Shatner Star Trek mask. Shat-
ner initially didn’t know the mask was in his
likeness, but when he found out years
later, he said he was honored.
The first Jack O’Lanterns were actually
made from turnips.
Halloween is the second highest grossing
commercial holiday after Christmas.
Fifty percent of kids prefer to receive
chocolate candy for Halloween, compared
with 24% who prefer non-chocolate candy
and 10% who preferred gum.
Samhainophobia is the fear of Halloween.
The owl is a popular Halloween image. In
Medieval Europe, owls were thought to be
witches, and to hear an owl's call meant
someone was about to die.
According to Irish legend, Jack O’Lanterns
are named after a stingy man named Jack
who, because he tricked the devil several
times, was forbidden entrance into both
heaven and hell. He was condemned to
wander the Earth, waving his lantern to
lead people away from their paths.
The largest pumpkin ever measured was
grown by Norm Craven, who broke the
world record in 1993 with a 836 lb. pump-
kin.
“Halloween” is short for “Hallows’ Eve” or
“Hallows’ Evening,” which was the evening
before All Hallows’ (sanctified or holy) Day
or Hallowmas on November 1. In an effort
to convert pagans, the Christian church
decided that Hallowmas or All Saints’ Day
(November 1) and All Souls’ Day
(November 2) should assimilate sacred
pagan holidays that fell on or around Octo-
ber 31.
Veterans Come
to SHS By Anna Harp
On October 10th 2013 all Sauger-
ties elementary schools went to the Jr. high
for the living History field trip.
There were veterans there that
fought in World War II and in Vietnam or
got seriously injured during war. It was
great to hear them come and speak about
the role they played in war.
Here are some opinions from 6th
graders who attended the field trip, Megan
Conley thinks ―it was pretty cool having
the veterans come and tell us about their
experience in war‖. Said Megan.
Madysen Craft said, ―It was really cool seeing the Purple Heart medal re-
cipients at the school‖. Nate Eilenberger says ― I felt that it was pretty cool seeing a
guy still living who was at Pearl Harbor when it was bombed.‖
That is what the 3rd 4rth and 5th graders of Saugerties central school dis-
trict go to do for a once in a life time experience.
How to Carve a
Pumpkin By Mark Danza
This is how to carve a perfect
pumpkin for the upcoming holiday of
Halloween.
Step 1: Select your pumpkin
Selection of the perfect pumpkin is vital
to the process of carving. You must
make sure your pumpkin is mot rotten,
and that it is of a size that fits the plan.
Step 2: Decide exactly what design you would like on your pumpkin.
The design you want should not be extremely hard to make, but its okay to chal-
lenge yourself a bit. Also be sure that your design is not to big or to small for your
pumpkin by fitting it while you select your pumpkin in step 1.
Step 3: Carve your pumpkin
Remember that you don't really need high-tech pumpkin carving gear to do this
part, but sometimes it helps. Be careful with sharp objects, clean up when you are
done.

Full of Living History By Aidan Jurofcik
On October 10, 2013 all of the elementary schools
from 4th to 6th grade gathered to listen to veterans from around
the United States and many wars, talk about their experiences.
This was a lesson which cannot be found in social studies text-
books. They talked about the horrors they faced, as well as our
responsibility as the future caretakers of our nation.
Walt Straka is a
Bataan Death March Sur-
vivor. There were 60,000
in the march and about
10,000 died. He lost over
100 pounds on the 80
mile march that charac-
terized by brutal physical
abuse and murder. It was
judged to be a Japanese
war crime. He said a wise
phrase, ―Freedom isn‘t
Free.‖ He also explained
that veterans from combat don‘t want to glorify the horror of
war. ―We never want anyone to ever experience what we
have,‖ he said.
