    HERE IT IS! THE THING YOUVE BEEN WAITING YOUR ENTIRE LIFE FOR THAT YOU

    NEVER KNEW YOU NEEDED! THE VERY FIRST ISSUE OF...

    THE EAGLE REVIEW!An all student-made and funded publication!

    Brought to you by the students of Imaginating 101, WCCs very own student-run writing club.

    BECAUSE SOMEBODYS GOTTA DO IT.

    IN THIS NEWSLETTER...

    Welcome to the very first issue ofThe Eagle Review!

    Sup, fellow learner of Woodland Community

    College

    Within your hands is the first issue of

    the student created, student funded, and student

    edited The Eagle Review, spearheaded by your

    very own Imaginating-101. Whats Imaginating

    -

    101? It is the resident club for WCC students

    who are interested in discussing, practicing, and

    participating in all things related to the endlessly

    vast craft of creative writing. Launched in the

    Spring of 2013, I-101 strives to provide these

    imaginative students with a place for group col-

    laboration and feedback on their personal works,

    as well as an opportunity for some good ol fash-

    ioned writing activities. Our goal is to encourage

    the growth and enjoyment of creative writing

    among the students of WCC. Nothing weird.

    However, on the eve of the Fall 2013

    semester, I-101 decided to collectively take on all

    responsibilities involved in the publication of a

    newsletter for the WCC campus. Why, you may

    ask? Because we can. And because we believe

    that you, the student, need one. With your help

    (in the form of submissions and fundraising con-

    tributions (remember Cookies with a Compli-

    ment?)), we aim to publish two issues of The Ea-

    gle Review per semester. Your part in this objec-

    tive is crucial, as we cannot print a newsletter

    without content. Please feel free to submit yourwork to us at any time. Extra content is always

    needed for future issues.

    If you fancy yourself a creative writer,

    drop by one of I-101s meetings at noon on Thurs-

    day in Room 843. Were always there (except on

    special events, such as Open Mic). And if youve

    got something you think wed like to put in the

    next issue, submit it to imaginat-

    [email protected]. Your beautiful face and crea-

    tive stuff is what were wanting.

    Inside this newsletter, you will discover a

    yeti, some interviews with students and a teacher,

    a plethora of invitations from campus clubs andorganizations, a creepy story for Halloween, and

    much more. I hope you enjoy every page of it and

    thank you for reading. Now go imaginate some-

    thing.

    When I initially became involved with ASWCC, I had no previous experiencewith Student Government or anything similar. What drew me to ASWCC was my de-sire to be more involved in my democracy. To be honest, I have lived most of my life

    thinking only about what I wanted for myself. Around two years ago, a major life event

    forced me to rethink my life and what my legacy would be, and that is what drove me tovolunteer for ASWCC.

    I returned to WCC last spring, but I have attended off and on since 2007. I

    also have spent four semesters at Los Rios District. I have changed my major moretimes than I can count. I suppose the majors I stuck with the most would be History and

    Engineering and I am currently preparing to transfer to UC Davis in Fall 2015 for myBS in Biological Systems Engineering.

    My primary goal as president is to increase the involvement of the averagestudent in activities of campus. I think the best way to do this is to increase the numberand size of student organizations. Our goal is to see ten new clubs form by the end of

    the semester.

    Another goal of ASWCC is to change the campus climate from the feeling ofa commuter school to one with a real feeling of community. We want to help in thecreation and publicizing of as many events on campus as possible.

    Of course, we also want to secure more student discounts, particularly a Yolo-

    Bus discount. It seems ridiculous that Sac State and UC Davis students ride for free,while WCC students have to pay full price. Getting a discount for WCC students will bea fairly large project for us, but I anticipate that it will be done by the end of the semes-ter. We also have been in contact with a company that is creating a phone application

    that will list local businesses that offer student discounts.

    President Letter cont. pg.3

    A Letter From Your ASWCC President!

    LGBTQ Who?For those who dont already know LGBTQ stands for Lesbian, Gay,

    Bisexual, Transgender, Queer/Questioning. For those who identify

    as LGBTQ and for those of you who are supportive of the LGBTQcommunity and its members (allies), there are amazing things on

    the horizon for you here at Woodland Community College (WCC).

    We are in the midst of a new school club being created specifi-

    cally for you! We are looking for anyone who would like to take a

    more active role in the school community to organize LGBTQ-

    friendly events and to help influence the development LGBTQ-

    centric policies, programs and services. Most of all however, we

    are looking to create a safe environment for LGBTQ people to

    voice their opinions. If you are interested in more information, or

    would like to help in the development of this new club contact

    Lynesha Macias at [email protected] or Christopher

    Howerton at [email protected].

    Get your own club started!Want to know how? There is a simple, thorough FAQ

    waiting for you in the previous Spring 2013 newsletter

    at aswccnewsletter.blogspot.com. Also, go meet with an

    ASWCC rep in rm. 719theyll help get you started!

    The Association of Human Services Students (AHSS) ofWoodland Community College (WCC) was founded in the Fall of 2012

    by a handful of students with the ideal of being able to organize and

    impact the student, college, and Woodland communities through out-reach, community services, and volunteerism. Through their first year,the AHSS group was able to organize a food drive and volunteer time atthe Kids Farmers Market both benefitting the Yolo County Food

    Bank, instated an Adopt-A-Child program through which Yolo Countychildren with cancer are adopted and provided with holiday gifts at a

    presentation dinner, and put on a Mental Health Services Fair benefit-ting the WCC student body connecting necessary social services with

    eligible students here on campus along with a gender identity/expression presentation by Dr. David Nylund.

    This year AHSS will institutionalize the Food Drive, Adopt-A-Child, and Dr. David Nylunds presentations on gender identity/expression. Although the membership has nearly doubled over the past

    academic year, AHSS continues to look for new members in order to beable to impact the community on a greater scale. If this is something thatyou would like to be a part of, or you have any further questions aboutthe organization you can contact AHSS President Eric Rodriguez at

    [email protected] Faculty Advisors Donna Bahneman or Loret-ta Richard at [email protected] [email protected]. If you would like to attend a meeting the group meets every 2nd and 4th

    Wednesday of the month in room 813D (in the Library) from 12:00pm

    12:50pm.

    AHSS Continues Strong in their 2nd Academic Year

    Presidents Letter cont. from pg.2

    The biggest challenge that we havefaced so far this semester is the breakdownof our ID card printer. We attempted to fix it, but continued to have problems. I would like toapologize to all students who have had to wait for their IDs, especially EMT students. Wehave been working hard on fixing the problem. With the help of Dr. Fairchilds and her secre-

    tary, Ana Villagrana, we have purchased a new machine.By the time this article is printed, the Eagles Nest will be open! The Eagles Nest

    is a new student hangout where we hope to foster a sense of community. It will be an infor-mation hub for students, where we will have all information on upcoming events in one

    place. We will have sports equipment and board game rentals for free, as well as a TV andcouches. It will be available as a meeting place for clubs or simply as a place to relax between classes. And the best part about it is that it will

    be run by students, for students.So far we have seen four new clubs chartered this semester, with three more in the formation stages. When we started the semester,

    there were only two active clubs on campus.

    The best way for students to get involved with ASWCC is to come to our

    meetings or stop by our office. We meet every Tuesday from 12-1PM in our office, room

    719. We are looking for students who are interested in starting or joining a student organiza-

    tion, or simply volunteering to help with tasks around the office.

    To contact us, email us at [email protected]. To get updates aboutevents on campus and when our meetings are, like us on Facebook (search Aswcc) and signup for text updates from us by texting @aswcc to 424-903-2435.

    We want and need your help. Please help us make our school a better place to be,not just for ourselves, but for future generations.

    Cool Cars on CampusWho doesnt love an awesome car? We find the coolest cars on campus and bring them to your attention. This months car is

    owned by Nick Ruiz, pictured here with his car.

    What are the specs? Make, model, year, engine, tranny, etc.My car is a 2005 Subaru WRX Impreza wagon. I have a 2 liter turbocharged engine making 15 psi. It's a manual, how cars were meant to be

    driven.

    How did you become the lucky driver behind the wheel of this car?I have always wanted a Subaru and set out to find one. Looked at a fewthen finally rested on the wagon because it has more room.

    How long have you been driving it?I have been driving and loving this car for three months now and it'ssucking away my money for gas and upgrades. But it's okay because Iwouldn't have it any other way.

    Have you got a name for your car?I haven't given my car a formal name other than "The Shaggin' Wag-on"

    Whats your favorite place to drive with your car?I took my car to Santa Cruz and that was off the hook driving along thecoast

    Do you hand wash, or do you prefer the machines to do it for you?I hand wash it because the love between a person and their car is real...it'sREAL.

    Whats your favorite feature about your car?

    My favorite feature is definitely the turbo. Just give it a few seconds tospool up and you're gone like a jet.

    If your car was a food, what would be its main ingredient, and why?If my car was a food, it would be a maki roll with tempura shrimp in the

    middle and the special ingredient would be sriracha sauce.

    Whats the longest road trip youve taken with your car? Where did you

    go? Who was with you?The farthest I've ever taken my car was Santa Cruz with my girlfriend tostay with her cousin. We had a great trip. The car and I, that is....

    Whats the fastest youve ever gone in your car, and why?

    I've never gone past 80mph because my car gets bad mileage and I don't

    wanna push it too hard all the time regardless of the fact that it is prettyquick.

    Wheres the place you most want to take your car?

    Muholland Drive down in SoCal for sure!

    If James Bond offered to make only one modification to your car, what

    would you have him do?

    I would have him install a sunroof because my car doesn't have that. I'mpretty basic. I don't need the flashy crap. I know my car is cool, James.

    If your car was animal, what would it be, and why?

    My car would be a snail for sure because its a turbo and they are shapedlike snails.

    Mr. Gassman Interview cont. from pg.4CR: How did that all work up to U.S. History?Boss: When I was working on my Bachelors degree I waslike, All right, I like history, so I might as well be a histo-ry major and I did the ancient history because thats what Ireally love. Then, I went on to my Masters degree and I

    thought, I better make myself more marketable, so I wentinto U.S. History, because teachers for it are in higher de-mand.CR: Thats a great point. You gotta be more marketable as

    a teacher. Start teaching a more general subject, and then atsome point you get more specific! Good way to go. So,how do you help your students feel more comfortable in

    class?Boss: It comes down to making the material more interest-

    ing and engaging. I try to come across like, how should Iput it, like Im not here to make peoples lives miserable.CR: Being in your class is a blast! It seems like you really

    charge to make history as fun for everyone as it is for you.Boss: [laughs] Yes, exactly. Thank you! Yeah, my philoso-

    phy is, you gotta treat each class moment like, This is thetime. This is the moment!CR: Moving on from teaching, I want to ask you, whatwas your most favorite experience when you traveledthrough Europe?

    Bossman standing in front of the Lincoln

    Highway memorial in Nevada.

    comic from xkcd.com: Lincoln-Douglas

    Boss: I would say your average day in Southern Italy. Yeah, we wouldget up around nine clock, have a nice breakfast, go to the beach- hang-

    out until one oclock- go have a lunch, take a siesta. Around three,

    wed go to the town square and pick out a fresh fish caught that day,then spend the rest of the day making and enjoying dinner. After, youhead down to the promenade where everyone hangs out and visits, andthen head to bed around one or two in the morning and start it all over

    the next day!CR: You could be called a worldly guy. What is the one thing yourworldly experiences have given you as a person that you would like toimpart on your students?Boss: Oh! The one thing! Oh, boy -whew-. Okay, I know this soundsso cheesy-clich, really it sounds that way - but you gottayou justgotta make the most of it. I know that sounds so lame, but its true!

    CR: How do you make the most if it?Boss: Know what you got inside and take it as far as you can! Get asmuch as you can out of it.

    CR: That reminds me of a quote by T.S. Eliot, Only those who risk goingtoo far can possibly find out how far one can go. (Thanks, J.Z.)Boss: Exactly! Or you dont know how far you can go until you FAIL!

    Failure is pushing the limits.CR: Students can really benefit from that kind of thinking, I think.Boss: Absolutely. If youre in school, youre in there you might as wellfocus and get the most if it! I remember when I was a freshman, I did a lot

    of messing around, I partied and went on Academic Probation. I askedmyself, what am I doin here? I got serious.CR: I think a lot of students can relate to that. Alrighty, one more questionto top off this interview: What is the most obscure, useless, but interesting

    fact that you know?Boss: Oh, tough, tough. Hmm...got one! In 1893, the Lincoln Highwaywas 3398 miles long!

    CR: Well, how about that? Thank you so much for your time Mr.Gassman. This concludes our interview!

    STUDENT LIFE

    A ropes course can be defined as aseries of elements, both high, built

    on trees, utility poles and structures,and low, close to the ground. Theelements allow a person to under-take both horizontal and vertical

    challenges. These challenges can bedone independently or with a team.

    At Peak Adventures, our studentshad a wide variety of high and low

    elements, including a rock wall,catwalk, multi-line, and the infamous dive, a.k.a. the leap of faith. Stu-dents use the ropes course in conjunction with fun and educational

    activities that promote personal development and team buildingthrough challenges both on the ground and in the air.

    Last Semester, on March 7th, 2013, TRiO Programs took their StudentSupport Services (SSS) students to Sacramento State University for the

    Course Rope Challenge. This was a great experience for our studentsto challenge themselves and to step outside of their comfort zone.

    Life is about risk and challenges! http://www.peakadventures.org/

    the club president, Joshua Torres, at [email protected], or just come out and join us on Tuesday and Thursday.Exercise Routine: 10 minutes Pre-Stretch, 50 minutes of Running, Jogging and/or Walking, then 10 minutes PostStretch

    We are hoping to participate in local FUN running events this Fall, such as the Turkey Trot, November 23, 2013 and The Running of theTurkeys, November, 28, 2013

    The WCC Running Club encourages all to come be a part of a club that builds healthy habits.

    Robots that throw galaxies at each other; people who turn into animals when hugged; a mace wielding, blood thirsty, lovea-ble angel. With anime, sometimes its better not to ask. But when you cant resist the urge, check out the Japanese Art and

    Culture Club! Our goal is to share the spirit of the Japanese culture with the students at WCC.We discuss the weird (you can buy anything from vending machine, anything), the cool (there is a museum with a 60 foottall robot statue), and the beautiful (Ikebana flower arranging). We cover a vast array of topics, and are always looking for

    more things to learn. We meet every Wednesday in room 840, at 12pm. Just look for the people who seem way too excitedabout a cartoon.

    Join the Japanese Art & Culture Club!

    Jacob Zentner: How longhave you been a student atWCC?Rebecca Gaither: This is myfirst semester. I'll probably be

    here for the next two to threeyears.JZ: How many credits are youcurrently enrolled in?RG: Currently I'm taking 12credits.

    JZ: What do you like mostabout attending WCC?

    RG: I'm loving the small classes, the interesting people, and the Star-

    bucks coffee machine in the lounge.

    JZ: Whats your favorite spot on campus to sit and ponder the trials of

    student life?RG: Id have to say either the open media lab, or the student lounge. Inthe open media lab I get to observe frantic students as they rush to com-

    plete essays and homework. In the student lounge I get to see students

    talking about serious issues like the recent death on the Walking Dead, orquestioning why Miley Cyrus twerked with Beetle Juice.JZ: Hows it going with the Japanese Art and Culture Club?RG: Its small, but strong. We're building our foundation right now, andwe're getting a lot of support from our fellow students and teachers. I'mexcited to see how this year goes.JZ: Is it okay to join even if one only knows the most basics of Japanese

    pop culture terminology?RG: Absolutely! People can join if they don't know anything about theJapanese culture. The club is here to teach, and provide a place to ex-change ideas and opinions. If you have even the slightest interest in the

    Japanese culture, stop on by!JZ: Do you prefer to be called Miss President by your members?RG: Id much rather be called Kami-Sama (God) or Ojou-Sama (Master).But I suppose I could let Miss President slide.

    JZ: Could you give an example of how one should properly pronouncethe word manga?RG: Mahn-guh. Mahn like a Jamacian saying "mon", and guh like"duh"... but with a g.

    JZ: Thank you for finally clarifying that. Whats the fastest way to se-duce a half-demon?RG: Tell them you're not interested, and call them an idiot.JZ: Youre a hook up guru. Can you describe the best hairdo for an overly emotional teenage boy with cosmic super powers?

    RG: Id either have to say long flowing hair that would make Sephirothjealous, or if you don't have enough time for that, short, spikey hair jus

    like every other main character from anything ever.JZ: Did you cry when Sephiroth killed Aerith?RG:No, I just raged that I couldn't use a Pheonix Down. She can survivefireballs to the face, and Tonberry stabbings, but a little poke from mom-

    ma's boy's sword and she's done for. You want a real villain? Go talk toKefka from VI. He poisoned an entire empire because it was Tuesday.JZ: If you were a Super Saiyan, what would your Power Level be?RG: Everyone wants me to say over 9,000. I'm not going to. Not happening. Its innacurate, false, not right, and flat out wrong. But to answer the

    question, if I'm not blowing up the planet by going super saiyan I'm doingit wrong. So I'll say like 7,426,980. Yeah, that sounds good.JZ: Whats the preferred method of summoning a meteor on your ene-

    my?

    RG: A wizard never reveals all she knows, but I can tell you it involves avirgin, some duct tape, the Galapagos Islands, and a feisty swine.JZ: What the first thing that comes to mind when you hear the word ka-

    waii?RG:Nothing that you can print.JZ: If you had your own mecha for going to and from school, whatwould you name it?RG: Id call it Bob. Bob is a good name.JZ: Yes, a good solid name for a metal monstrosity. But now we move toour final question, the one everybodys been wondering. What do youhave to say about the treatment of water bears in Canada?RG: You mean America's hat? As long as I can still get my syrup and

    pictures of moose, then I say let the water bears be. Let them and theicousin, the sea bear, frolic through the waterways and hunt delicious

    bread fishes.

    JZ: Spoken like a true activist. Thank you so much for your time, Re-becka. This interview has been a ridiculous success.RG: And thanks to you, sir.

    The Ridiculous InterviewMr. Z took some time to get to know, Rebecca Gaither President of the Japanese Art and

    Culture Club. Lets find out whats inside her head, shall we?

    The old theater. Condemned years ago after a fire gutted its beautiful interior, it stood like an unpleasant disfigurement on the MainStreet of a small, quiet town. Many tried to have it removed, but the owner was a stubborn woman who wanted it to stay.The old woman stood outside her theater. A deep sigh rattled her old body. She was ninety and she was alone. Most of her friends were dead or

    dont remember her, and her family well, her familyLost in her thoughts, she was startled when someone placed a large hand on her shoulder.Sorry Mrs. Villa I dinnit mean ta scare ya! It was Tommy, the postman. Mrs. Villa smiled. Tommy, he was such a good boy. Slow,

    but kind and honest. Honesty seemed to be a highly misplaced virtue in this town.

    Oh Tommy dont you worry. An old lady needs to get her heart going every so often to remind her shes alive.Thats nice Mrs. Villa, but whatcha standin outside o this ol place fer? He gave it a wary glance, it aint a pretty sight, thats fer

    sher.

    Mrs. Villa lifted her tiny shoulders and sighed. Too many memoriesnone of them good. No, no its not a pretty sight, but it needs to

    stay, Tommy. It needs to stay.Sometimes, she could hear the screaming. In her dreams, the screaming and the flames never ceased. Sometimes, she felt something

    licking at her toes the tongues of flame tickling her feet, slowly burning her skin away.Tommy, oblivious to the haunted feelings of the old woman, grunted and offered to walk her home. He hummed happily as they mean-

    dered towards her tiny, dilapidated home. Despite the sunlight that brightened their afternoon, Mrs. Villa could still feel the dark presence of thetheater crawling up her back. It didnt want her to leave.

    As they reached her home, Mrs. Villa thanked Tommy and retreated into her dark house. Tommy smiled and waved from the sidewalk.She closed the door and held back a sob. So alone. She was so alone and it was dark here. Maybe she should call Tommy in for a while? No, he

    didnt need to see her pain. She was afraid to sleepshe was afraid to stay awakeshe was afraid to die. There would always be ghosts to haunther. She closed her eyes- the charred theater scratched at her consciousness. The screaming was bound to visit her again

    Tommy, still on break, wandered into the dim pub by the theater. A coworker, seated at the bar, scoffed as soon as he spotted Tommy.

    Mrs. Villa by Cristal Reyes

    Ladies and gentlemen, I have some spectacu-lar news. Wait for it; this is going to be good. It is offi-cially Fall. Say goodbye to sweltering heat, outrageous

    air conditioning bills and mosquitoes and hello toPumpkin Spice Lattes, scarves and fuzzy blankets. Iknow, you can barely contain yourselves and thatsokay, because Fall is awesome. So before you explode

    amazing holiday that is Halloween.First up, if wandering aimlessly through a

    giant corn field in the dark is your thing, then the Dix-on Corn Maze is perfect for you. This year, the maze is53 acres. If you dont know how big that is, let me put

    it into perspective for you. The Dixon Corn Maze holdsthe Guinness World Record for largest corn maze. Itsopen now through November 5th and is located at 6585Milk Farm Road in Dixon from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. and

    Blvd in Sacramento. Theyve got ten haunted attractions including a Thriller tribute show, Hobarts DoFactory (what is it with dolls and why are they so

    creepy anyway), The Forbidden Temple, and manymore. Because whats Halloween without navigatinyour way through a haunted house where a guy with

    chainsaw may or may not be waiting for you at the end

    Full disclosure: the chainsaw guy scares me every timeFinally, if the falling temperatures are to

    much for you, stay inside and cozy up with Edgar Alle

    Poe. Check out The Black Cat, The Masque of the ReDeath, orThe Tell-Tale Heart if youre up for readinsomething creepy. Poe died October 7 th, 1849. He wafound wandering the streets of Baltimore delirious anhis actual cause of death remains a mystery. Even mor

    mysterious than Poes death is the Poe Toaster. EverJanuary 19th, this mysterious figure made a toast ocognac and left three roses at Poes original gravmarker beginning in 1949. The tradition has been car

    ried on for more than sixty years, however, the PoToaster made his last appearance in 2009 and his identity is still a mystery.

    Where Did She Go?by J Alexander Z

    Where did the beautiful go?I saw her standing in the snow

    Hair fair and cheeks of red I see

    I searched for her, but she hid from meThis woman of splendor, I want to know

    I only want the chance to say helloTo this swan I saw in white glow

    But she moves from tree to tree

    Please, dont hide your love from me

    Now the cold wind begins to blow

    Her flushed face she will not show

    Forever with you, I only want to be

    Inside of you, I will be set freeFor your answer, I will not take no

    Please, dont hide you love from me

    Mrs. Villa cont. from pg. 8Tommy haltingly replied, Aw, Mrs. Villas juss a sweet lady,

    didnt mean to bother her none. Juss took her home cuz my momma says

    thats what nice boys do.His coworker leaned in close and asked, Dya know what that

    crazy bitch did thirty years ago? She burned the damn theater down. Shekilled everyone inside in cold blood and no one can prove it.

    Tommys face lifted in confusion. Now, why would sweet Mrs.Villa set er own place on fire? Doesn sound right ta me, uh-uh!

    The other postman smiled grimly. Mr. Villa had an affair. Lots of

    em actually. Apparently, before the show, she was bein sweet on him. Lefthim to enjoy the show with their kids. Its all gossip o course, but there you

    go.

    Tommy sipped his cola slowly, turning these thoughts in his head.Sweet ol Mrs Villa? Nah, she was good ol Mrs. Villa who didnt like fire.

    She told him so.

    That night, as Mrs. Villa sat in her dark house, she could feel thetheater clawing at her. As long as it stood, she wouldnt die, nor would thesouls within. How much longer could she resist it, though? The screaming

    oh god the screaming. The incessant screaming of trapped, flaming soulsMrs. Villa felt something creep around her delicate arms a chilling, terrible

    somethingheld upon her. In the next moment, she could feel herself beingdragged into the hellish nightmare of the theater- a horrific scream trapped

    within charred interior as all her hatred poured into the shadows In the morning, the skeleton of the once great entertainment hall

    was found in ashes, burned by a silent, cold fire. Some went in search ofMrs. Villa to tell her the fate of her theater, but upon entering her home, were

    only greeted by dust and the sensation of cold fingers crawling down theirbacks. Mrs. Villa was never found...the remains of her theater was sooncleared away and a new one built. It was a grand production - the jewel of

    Popcorn Brain Balls!Looking for a spooky recipe tocreep out your friends more

    than you normally do? Makethem some crunchy brains! The-se are also an effective decoy to

    throw at zombies while you runaway.

    WHAT YOU NEED: a 10.5 oz bag of marshmallows, 3 tbsp butter, 6cupspopcorn (popped & lightly salted), a bit of oil, red food coloring, and apaintbrush.WHAT YOU DO: In a saucepan over very low heat, melt the butter andmarshmallows, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and add a drop ortwo of red food coloring, mixing lightly (going for a marbled look). Addthe popcorn and mix until popcorn is coated. Lightly oil your hands. Take

    a handful and shape popcorn into balls, depressing a ridge in the middle ofeach ball to create the brain (how gruesome!). This should yield abouteight balls. Then, using your finger or a paintbrush, dab some extra redfood coloring on brain to emphasize the freshly removed from skull

    look. Using the paintbrush, paint a line of red food coloring down the mid-dle of the brain. Done! There you go. Happy Halloween!

    A long, long time ago, in a place that is now forgotten, there lived a King and his Queen.The King, whose name was Alexander, loved his Queen very much, and she loved him just

    as well.One day, Alexander was called to battle. The Queen begged him not to go, but Alexander

    told her that he must.It is my duty as King to protect our people. He said to her.

    The Queen relented and Alexander kissed her goodbye, promising to come back to her as

    soon as he could.Days stretched into weeks and weeks turned into months. The Queen had yet to hear any-

    thing from her beloved. But one day, she saw the white sails of the Royal Ships and she ran to

    the ocean to greet her husband, but he was not there.My fair Queen, said the captain, Our fearless King Alexander fought our adversaries

    bravely and led us to victory. But there was a storm on our journey back and he was lost at sea.We grieve mightily, not only at your loss, but at ours as well.

    The Queen thanked the captain for his condolences and returned to her castle where shewept night after night after night, until one night she decided that enough was enough. She driedher eyes and called for the Mystic.

    Tell me, Mystic, she said to him, what must I do to bring my husband back?

    The Mystic was quiet for a long time.

    Have you no answer for me? She asked.

    That which you seek belongs to the sea, my Queen. He answered

    That is not what I asked. The Queen replied.

    That which you seek belongs to the sea. To get it back, you must take the power from theorb that holds it. Only then will your beloved return. But there is a price.

    I dont care about the price. The Queen said.My Queen, the Mystic began, you must know the price before you agree to such a

    thing! The price isBut the Queen cut him off and refused to hear anything more about the price.Just tell me how to bring him back. Ill pay whatever you ask.Very well, The Mystic answered, you are aware of the moons power over the ocean,

    yes?He controls the tides. The Queen responded.This is true. Take this seed and plant it under the next full moon. It will bloom before the

    night ends, when it does, pluck it and take it to the sea and offer it in return for your husband. I dont understand, The Queen said, how will a flower help bring my husband back?

    The flower will absorb the moons pull over the ocean, only if for a few moments, onceyou offer the flower, you can control the tides and order the ocean to return your beloved.

    Why is it I find myself feeling alone in this cold, darkmusky jaded forsaken room?Where I find a girl lying withHer tear stained eyesI see her beginning to cryWanting to find a means of escapeWith herself and timeHoping that these tears she cries is/are hope in disguiseBlessed by/with these/her eyesThese tears she cries cant help but become a part of her

    A place where she cannot hideA place where her heart cannot hide her fearSo steer me in the right directionSo I can share this this song with you

    A song about a girl who prays

    That one dayThis song will reach every little part of youEvery part of you that remainsForever human, forever humaneThat these feelings we shareCan be feltSo I pray in silenceI pray in SilenceThat one day we all will listenBegin to listenTo this anthem for the lost and brokenWith a shed of a single tearFrom the girl who does not wish to hide her tearsFor the fearOf trying not to be seen throughWith those blood shot eyesCan you see?Words unspokenCan you see?Hope of a girl that wishes fear could have a weathered

    friendin thee end, Misery loves accompanySo remember Youre not aloneYoure not aloneinside that bedroomSo why is it we remain silent?Why do we remain silent?With a life full of surprisesIs it so surprising that...People may surprise you?

    Ocean Queen cont. from pg. 10

    So the Queen took the seed and waited until the next full moon to plant it. That night in

    particular, the moon appeared to be extra full and bright and the Queen seized her chance.She planted the seed and waited for it to grow and just as quickly as she planted it, theseed began to sprout.

    It began as a small stem and then grew bigger. Large white petals sprung from the

    small bulb and glimmered under the moon light. When the flower stopped blooming, sheplucked it and ran for the sea.

    When the Queen reached the shore, she waited, but nothing happened. She steppedinto the water and commanded the water to release her husband, but still nothing.

    She took three steps forward and tried again. Nothing.Three more steps in and the water was at her knees.I command you to release King Alexander. She said firmly.

    Still, the ocean was silent.

    There is a price, the Queen whispered to herself, and this is the price I will pay.

    Still holding the flower, the Queen walked further into the still black water and shekept going until she no longer had the strength to continue.

    Release him. She said as she let herself sink beneath the glassy surface.

    Upon that moment, King Alexander washed up onto the shore looking the way hewas before his untimely death.

    The Queen had accepted her fate but was given new life as ruler of the seas. She waschanged physically with the lower half of her body resembling that of a fish. She would

    never see her Alexander ever again.But still, she waits for him, asking all those that sail across her waters if King Alex-

    ander is alive. Those that give the correct response are awarded safe passage and calm

    seas. The correct answer is and always will be: He lives and reigns and conquers theworld. But those that dare answer any differently are doomed to join the countless otherfools at the bottom of the ocean.

    James stood back, adjusted his overalls, and admired his jobof stacking firewood. Not bad, eh? he asked his hound, who seemedindifferent from his sprawled position. Cmon Buster, its dinner

    time. The hound quickly followed his young master into the house.James crossed the living room into the kitchen, where he found hissister, Janis, removing a plate from the fridge. Whatve you got? heasked.

    She spun round, revealing the last piece of apple pie. None

    of your business, she said, raising her eyebrows. Go away.

    Hey, thats not for you.Says who?

    Says Mom. She said I could have it.She frowned. You liar. She said its for me.Liar.Prove it.

    I dont have to, he said, pointing at her. I can see it in your stupidface.Your face is the one thats stupid.Prove it.

    I dont have to, she said, wrinkling her nose. When you came in theroom, I could smell the stupid on it.Well, why should you get the last slice?Because Im a girl, and girls should get more because theyre smart-

    er.No theyre not.

    Yes they are.Prove it.

    Janis set the plate down on the table between them. Becauseolder siblings get all the brains when theyre born. Were twins, STUPID! Were the same age Nuh-uh. Dad says I came out first, which means you got all the left

    overs.Whatever.Its true. Dad says so.Thats bologna.Why dont you make a bologna sandwich instead?

    James jerked his thumb. Because I deserve the last slice as

    much as you do.Prove it.I helped Mom with the tomatoes today, and then I went with Dad to

    town to buy hay bales and throw them in the truck, then Buster andIYou cant throw hay bales.Yes I can.

    Youre too small.

    Oh yeah? Well youre too fat to eat more pie!

    Janis bared her weapons. Am not.Are too.

    Am NOT!Are TOO!Well Dad says you still suck your thumb at night when you sleep.No I dont, he said defensively. And Mom told me you still cant tie

    your own shoes.So? Dad told me you still need help getting into the saddle.Thats not my fault. I havent had my growth spurt yet.I can get in a saddle by myself.

    Thats because girls grow faster than boys. Its not fair.She folded her arms proudly. Were smarter too.Shut up!Make me.

    You should at least give me half of it.Theres only enough left for me.

    Nuh-uh, we could split it down the His eyes went wide. Wheresit at?

    Wheres what?

    The PIE!She glanced down at the empty plate between them. What did you dowith it?

    Nothing.LIAR!I never touched it.

    For a moment they glared at each other. Then Busters heavybreathing drew their attention to the side of the table. The hound stared

    at them contently and licked his sagging jowls with a soggy tongue.
