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

The boys and girls of

Grant D. Morse are really ex-

cited for Halloween this year.

ing to be a fortune teller for

Julia Quinlan will be a marsh-

mallow. She wants to be a

marshmallow because her

friends are going to be a group

costume. The group costume is

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.

These are some thoughts about the Halloween social

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.

Year Round Schooling By Lauryn Turk, Alyssa Rose, and Kaylie Sullivan

23 teachers were interviewed on if they wanted

school all year round. 10 of them said no, 8 of them said yes,

3 of them said sort of/ maybe, and 2 of them have their own

opinion.

The following teachers that said sort of/ maybe are,

Mrs. Tucker, Mrs. Sullivan, and Mrs. Pipitone.

The 10 teachers who said no are, Mrs. Fanelli, Mrs.

Maines, Mrs. Tucci, Mrs. Bishop, and Mrs. Brown.

The Teachers who said yes were, Bruce the janitor,

Mrs. Kraft, Mr. Defino, Mr. Sasso, Mr. Reynolds, and Mrs.

McCaig.

The 2 teachers who have their own opinion are,

Nuse Beth who thinks that we should have 4 day weeks and

save money on heat, gas and electric bills, and Mrs. Gallo

said, ABSOLOUTELY NOT. What do you think? Let us

know.

tangs, she thought it was fun. She thinks the Mustangs will win. She is

very excited and looking forward to the big day.

We Rule the

School By Carter Vail

The new sixth grade class is in

Sync, Mustang Bowl, and the trip to

Six Flags, sixth grade is an action

packed year. The sixth graders are excited.

Jeremy Cornelison said ―I remember when I was a kindergar-

tener and wanted to be in the Lip Sync and Mustang Bowl.‖ He is

looking forward to Sixth Grade Graduation, because he wants to

go to the High School and meet students from different schools.

good. She is looking forward to Mustang Bowl. She is excited.

She quoted, ―We are in sixth grade and some of us get to be cap-

tains.‖

Mark Danza said

―The extra privileges

are nice, but there is a

lot of homework.‖ He

is excited to go on the

field trip to Six Flags.

He is bringing his

mom on the field trip.

The sixth graders

lous year.

Josie Ryan and

Harper Ferraro both have Mrs.

Hogan and love first grade.

They think first grade is easy.

Harper likes Go Math and

Josie likes how they get to play

at the end of the day. Harper‘s favorite part of the day is morn-

ing math. Josie likes morning math and snack. They both are

excited and love to watch the Mustang Bowl.

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.

By Ginger Defino

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

ONE

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.
