It Cost 1.5 cents to Make a penny

Last Year

Last year, each penny cost 1.5

cents to make, about 50 percent

more than its face value. All the

pennies the U.S. Mint issued last

year cost $46 million.

This is the 11th year the cost

to make a penny has been higher

than its face value. Nickels, too,

cost more

than their

make at 6.32

Three New Species of Bird

eating Tarantulas discovered

Three new species of massive

tarantulas have been discovered in

the category of being “Bird-

Eaters”.

Researchers basically cleaned

the house of the Avicularia fam-

ily, aka the bird eating spider

family. While doing this they

sorted through the family of fifty

and narrowed it down to twelve,

three of which were new species

to the family.

Their name bird eater was

once thought to be a fantasy even

though we know it to be true, as a

member of the family the Goliath

Bird Eater has fangs which can

easily pierce the skull of a rodent

or bird. http://www.livescience.com/58187-bird-

I know most people in the world would probably choose a place like

Mexico or Florida to go exploring on vacation around this time of year.

However, for me personally,

I would like to go to Mani-

toba or Ontario for the un-

forgettable fishing and hunt-

ing opportunities with so

many large fish to catch and

so many large bucks to

shoot.

This is why I would

personally explore Mani-

toba or Ontario as a vaca-

tion destination. I hope that you readers would too if you’re an outdoors

type of person.

In Alaska Local Hockey Teams

Are Taking A Toll

Life in Alaska has changed

dramatically since oil revenues

took a dive. It affects nearly eve-

rything in the state – including

leisure dollars – and its hockey

teams are folding as a result. On

Feb. 23, the ECHL’s Alaska Aces

announced they were ceasing

operations. The Aces, who won

three Kelly Cup championships

(the last in 2013-14), had been a

mainstay in Anchorage for years

and even featured native son and

former New Jersey Devils star

Scott Gomez

during the

past two NHL

lockouts.

What would possess a person

to spend days or years waiting for

a chance to spear a fish?

If you asked some of the

nearly 13,000 people on the ice of

Wisconsin’s Lake Winnebago on

opening day of the 2017 lake

sturgeon spearing season, you’d

get a lot of different answers.

Although, the main thing is to tag

one of the largest fish in North

America.

The Wild are still 1st in the

Western Conference but the Chi-

cago Blackhawks are just 1 point

behind as of 3/13/17.

If the Wild finish first in the

Central Division they will play the

second placed wildcard team in

the West and if they finish second

in the Central they will play the

third placed team in the Central

Division.

The Central Division stand-

ings are:

1. Wild 92 pts 2. Chicago 91 pts

3. Nashville 77 pts 4. Blues 75 pts

5. Jets 66 pts 6. Stars 64 pts

7. Avalanche 41 pts

This issue I will be reviewing

Applebee's! Applebee's is located

in Fergus Falls, Minnesota which

is about 25 minutes away from

Ashby, so boys this is a good

place to eat for prom!

Applebee's has a great variety

of food including pastas, seafood,

burgers, sandwiches, and they

have a great selection of appetiz-

ers and snacks!

If you’re looking for a great

deal you and your date can pick

off of the 2 for $20 menu which

includes an appetizer, your choice

of salad, mozzarella sticks, onion

rings, spinach dip or boneless

wings. The entrée menu for the 2

for $20 is great and includes dif-

ferently cooked chicken, a juicy

American burger, or Applebee

riblets.

A couple of my fellow class-

mates say that their favorite meals

are the chicken strip basket, four

cheese mac & cheese, and the

pretzel sticks with beer cheese.

They also have delicious refresh-

ers including a variety of lemon-

ades and teas! Make sure you stop

in for prom or any other time!

The 2017 Mazda MX-5 Miata

has a starting price ranging from

$24,915 to $31,270 with 3 con-

figurations Sport, Club, and

Grand Touring with manual or

automatic.

This new Mazda has 155

horsepower with 26 city and 33

highway miles per gallon.

The Fray is an American rock

band from Denver, Colorado.

They formed in 2002 by school-

mates Isaac Slade and Jo King.

They started off helping lead wor-

ship in their churches, and soon

became known all around. If you

are looking for a band with a lot

of heart, this is it.

They achieved great success

in 2005 for their album, How To

Save A Life. This album was certi-

fied as a double platinum. They

got their national success from

their first single Over My Head

(Cable Car). The creation of their

second single How To Save A

Life, brought the band worldwide

fame.

In the Night World series

there are 9 book so far and since I

had previously written a review

about the first 3 books I thought

that I would also do one for the

second 3 books. The second 3

books are Dark Angel, The Cho-

sen, and Soulmate.

The first of the 3 is not my

favorite because of how slow it is

compared to the other books. It

starts out with Gillian having a

near death experience where

when she is returned back to her

body she is accompanied by an

angel. He ends up helping her get

the popularity that she has always

wanted, but after a while he starts

making these weird demands

from her so she no longer knows

whether he is good or not.

The second is The Chosen and

is about a vampire hunter that no

one has ever learned the name of.

They know her by The Cat. She

had taken up vampire hunting

because when she was 5 she saw

her mom killed by a vampire

named Hunter Redfern. One day

she ended up hunting a vampire

that was selling humans. His

name is Quinn. Those 2 end up

working together to take Hunter

Redfern down.

The third book is Soulmate

and it is about a girl named Han-

nah Snow. She is an old soul

which means that her soul has

been reborn many times but each

time Hannah always dies before

the age of 17. Now she is trying to

stop that from happening again.

The Night World books are

really quick reads. You might like

to read them for your pages in

Ms. Wojik’s class. These 3 books

from the Night World series are

rated a 4.2 stars on the Goodreads

site and are available in our

school library. Check them out! https: / /www. goodreads .com/ht tps: / /

Snake is the common name

for a videogame concept where

the player maneuvers a line which

grows in length with the line itself

being a main obstacle.

“Horizon: Zero Dawn”

The plot revolves around

Aloy, a hunter and archer living in

a world overrun by robots. Having

been outcast her whole life, she

sets out to discover the dangers

that kept her sheltered.

T h e c h a r a c t e r u s e s

r a n g e d , m e l e e w e a p -

ons and stealth tactics to fight the

mechanized creatures, whose

remains can also be looted for

resources.

Development of this game

began in 2011, with game director

Mathijs de Jonge considering it

"the most risky" idea of those that

were pitched at the time. The

concept explores the contrast

between the beauty and danger of

the game's setting.

Last year ABC dropped the

TV show “Nashville” from its line

up stating that it had low ratings.

The fans rebelled so CMT picked

up the series this year. Now the

show is getting rave reviews and

has just celebrated its 100th epi-

sode.

If you like country music, this

is the program for you as there are

a lot of good, original country

music songs performed in this

show. It’s on CMP on Thursday

nights at 8:00 p.m.

The story revolves around a

group of country music stars,

recording studios, concert tours,

and their private lives in Nash-

ville.

This season saw the death of

the main character Rayna James a

famous country singer. The mid-

season finale was on last week, so

you will have to wait about 3

months for the season to resume.

The El Camino was first intro-

duced in 1959 and was in produc-

tion until 1987. It was one of the

first Sedan/Utility vehicles pro-

duced.

It was built on the impala

chassis and had almost the same

body style but offered a full sized

bed and towing hitch. It was very

successful. Pictured above is a

1966 Chevrolet El Camino.
