Short Story: Use Your Head Sally’s mother asked her to walk to the local shop and buy milk for her baby sister. “Take this money,” her mother said, handing Sally five dollars. “Be careful that you do not go into the road. No matter what, do not leave the sidewalk.“ “Okay!” Sally responded happily, glad to be able to help. Running down the sidewalk grasping the money, Sally saw a shadowy elephant figure laid out across the narrow pathway ahead of her. A large oak tree branch had fallen and blocked the entire sidewalk. It was much too big for a small girl like Sally to move, and she remembered that she could not go into the street under any circumstances, so walking around it was out of the question. Going over the branch would be impossible, too, for it was too unsteady. Sally thought of her little sister who needed milk. She felt like crying. Instead of crying, Sally started thinking. She walked bravely up to the large limb and broke a small branch off. Then, she had an idea. The young girl broke another branch and tossed it away. She broke branch after branch off. After 10 minutes, Sally had broken that large tree limb into numerous small pieces, all easily manageable for a young, smart girl like herself. Soon, Sally had cleared the entire tree limb off the sidewalk and proceeded on her way. When Sally returned home with the milk for her sister, her mother asked her what had taken her so long. Sally explained how a limb had fallen and blocked the sidewalk. “How did you ever get it out of the way, Sally? Did someone come along and help you?” “No,” Sally responded. “I helped myself.” “How could you have moved that large tree limb all by yourself, Sally?” her mother wondered. “I moved it,” Sally answered, “by using my mind.” Then, she explained to her mother what had happened. Relieved that Sally was not hurt, and proud of her initiative, the mother poured a tall glass of milk, placed two fresh chocolate chip cookies on a plate, and handed them to Sally. They looked at each other and smiled big, knowing grins. Poem: Ode to My Beagle My beagle is a golden ring That shows pure love He is a song that I sing And heard above. By day my beagle loves to play Like a dandelion in the wind Rolling, lolling in the hay, Oh he makes me laugh and grin! When the daily egg-yolk sun Slips, slides, slithers slowly down I whistle up my beagle one And drive us quickly in to town. Man and bud a film to see; We stand with quite a crowd But horror! A note from God bespeaks me: NO DOGS ALLOWED! The dark dooming clouds form Above our tousled heads A despondent dreary storm Calls forth our lingering dread. My thoughts cry, “What a nice place!” My voice silenced, sad, I dare not speak Until a slow smile sneaks across my face As my beagle licks my tear-stained cheek. We cruise and sing and yowl and bay Heading to safety, heading to home. Celebrating togetherness, a happy day, My beagle, my friend, and me alone. Man’s best friend My Beagle is, And I like to think I am his.

Family Information Flag question Information text Read the passage below, and then choose the best answer to each of the following questions. How to Ice a Vampire (and live to tell the tale!) (1) First, you need to cool the vampire cookies. No one likes cold icing on a warm vampire, as it will run. There are so many cookie recipes that it’s difficult to name a favorite, but basic sugar cookie dough works just fine for this trick. Most people have dough recipes handed down from generation to generation, but if you’re just starting from scratch, you might want to look around online for a sugar cookie recipe. Many people review online recipes, so you should end up with great vampire cookies. If you’re really worried or desperate, you could even buy a tube of pre-made cookie dough, but it won’t be the same. (2) Once the vampire cookies are cool to the touch, it’s time to start the icing. To make the icing, you will need: 4 cups of confectioners’ sugar, ½ cup softened butter, 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract, 1/3 cup of milk, and 3 drops of any food coloring. Grab bowls to hold each different color you create. My favorite coloring is to combine a little blue and red to make a soft purple for the vampire’s base; that seems like a great color to ice a vampire since many vampires are often pictured as corpsely pale. I usually make yellow and red icing, too. Yellow works well for vampiric teeth, and red makes great gobs of blood from its victims. You might also include a dark brown icing for a hair-raising experience. (3) Now that you have everything ready, it’s time to mix the ingredients together. In a large bowl, cream the butter, and then take turns adding the sugar and milk. Use enough milk so that the icing is semi-thin but not too watery; it’s a delicate balance, so pay careful attention to the mixture. You want icing that your vampires will be proud of! Once you have the right consistency, mix in the vanilla. Finally, divide the icing into several bowls and tint each a different color with the food dyes you’ve chosen. (4) Icing a vampire has been a tradition in my household for many years. Since this is something that not many people do in preparation for Halloween, we always enjoy watching the puzzled or shocked looks on people’s faces when we say that we are going home to “ice a vampire.” In just a few simple steps, you, too, can ice a vampire and trick all those that you meet! (5) Icing a vampire properly takes a steady hand and a creative mind. The base icing can be simply spread on the cookie with a knife, so start by giving your cookies their basic “skin” coating. Next, add the vampires’ features, which will take a little imagination. Just like humans, every vampire is different and should be represented as such on the cookies. Some vampires might have furrowed eyebrows while others appear to be friendly—before chomping on a victim, of course! Some might have their fangs hanging in broad daylight while others hide them behind closed lips. The faces on your vampire cookies are only limited to your imagination and your skill with the icing. Use a toothpick or craft stick to scoop and place icing where you want it. These may seem like strange utensils, but their small size will help you manipulate the frosting better. If you like, you can use candy or decorating sprinkles to create facial features, too. Keep making faces until all cookies are iced. (6) When all the vampires are iced, take a step back and look at your creations, your iced vampires. Seeing all your hard work in the forms of these iced vampires should make you smile, and just think: you can bite them before they bite you. Invite some people over for a Halloween party, and just to make sure that the gang of iced vampires doesn’t crash it, devour their leader with a cool glass of milk before anyone arrives.

Let it Snow As someone who has lived on the outer edge of the Lake Erie’s snowbelt for all of my life, snow is something that I frequently experience. It always amazes me when people get excited about the snow because for me, it’s commonplace. Having snowball fights and building snowmen is fun, but the right type of snow is necessary in order to build a snowman or have a snowball stay together. People can create the best snowballs, snowmen, or other snow creations when there is wet snow; there are two other types of snow, too, the medium-wet snow and the dry snow. Wet snow is the best snow for packing. This type of snow often occurs when cold air flows over a warm body of water, such as Lake Erie. Because it does travel over the lake and pick up its moisture, the snow itself is extremely moist. At times, it almost feels as if I am holding ice because the snow often maintains its same shape when taken off the ground; in other words, if I grab a hunk of snow in the shape of a rectangle, it will remain as a rectangle even in my hand. Still, the benefit of having this type of snow is that I can pick the snow up and mold it however I want. For instance, I can not only create a snowball, but I can place that snowball on the ground and roll it to create an even bigger snowball until it is large enough for the snowman’s base. Once a snow creature is built, it’s also possible to sculpt and mold this snow. Adding extra snow is easy, as the new snow sticks to your creation because of its moisture. Dry snow is the opposite of wet snow; this type of snow, commonly referred to as powder, has little to no moisture in it. Much like if you cupped your hand and placed sugar in it, letting it fall to a bowl beneath, powdered snow will quickly fall from your hands when you try to pack it together. Therefore, this type of snow does not lend itself to building any form of snow creations. While it doesn't work for building snow creations, ski resorts commonly use it as a top layer of snow, even if it is manufactured, because it is less likely than wet snow to turn into ice and is very light. Skiers are able to quickly turn, something that would be extremely difficult if they were skiing within very wet snow. Medium-wet snow does have some moisture, so it is possible, albeit more difficult than wet snow, to build snowmen and snowballs with medium-wet snow. Depending on its level of moisture, it will pack, but you might have to try packing it a few times, and some snow might fall off the creation. Because it has some moisture, medium-wet snow is a little heavier than powder but less heavy than wet snow. While driving in the snow is often difficult and downright dangerous, having the opportunities to have snowball fights and build snow creatures makes up for it. However, it’s important to remember that not every kind of snow will give you opportunities to have that snowball fight or build that snow creature you’ve been dreaming about. If you want to do these things, wish for wet snow!
