Water Car, No longer Myth?????

By Aaron Horowitz

Is the rumor about the Water-Fuelled car true? If it is, this might make it into the “top ten inventions” article posted by Mary Bellis in http://inventors.about.com/od/famousinventions/tp/topteninvention.htm

This might change the world’s use of Gasoline’s and oils, so oil can be used to do and make other things. This specific invention has astounded all who have heard of it.

There are Water Cars in Japan, Philippines, Pakistan, America and maybe more that we have not yet heard of yet.

Engineer Wahaq Ahmed drove his car using water as fuel July 26, 2012 as a demonstration for parliamentarians, scientists, and students, http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-in-school/article3694244.ece

Even if we hear rumors about Water Cars all over the world in the past few years from 2009-2012, we have not yet heard of a car powered by water in the Philippines that was made in 1968. Information on this can be found at: http://www.panacea-bocaf.org/danieldinglewatercar.htm

Genepax, a company in Japan has combusted the idea and a way to make a Water Car. Info on this can be found at: http://www.greenoptimistic.com/2009/02/24/genepax-japanese-water-car-company-shut-to-silence/

Sandpoint Idaho Shooting

By Kiki Glenn



Super 1 Foods in Sandpoint, Id

What is this world coming to? How can we change? Recently, on Wednesday, February 6^th, 2013 at 5pm in Sandpoint Idaho we had a shooting across from Super 1 foods. The police responded to the shooting at 6pm. Two men in their early 30's were fighting. Anthony Viola, 35 took out his gun and shot the other unknown man in the arm. The man who got shot in the arm was treated in the hospital, as Anthony Viola had shot himself and is now deceased. Police say that both Alberto Tuinzing and Anthony Viola were related through marriage.

What should all the schools do to prevent this? Well just like Sandy Hook, we could install machinery to prevent these shootings in schools. But, what about on the streets or at homes? Well that is kind of hard, most people have guns in their homes to prevent this. But, how could it help if someone had one in their bag or jacket? This is a serious problem.

Sandpoint's Family Dining and Great Root Beer!

I recently went to MickDuffs Brewing Company. I had the French dip with gorgonzola cheese fries. The beef was succulent and the au jus was mouth-wateringly awesome. But, the best thing by far that I had was the home brewed root beer; it was mind-numbingly delicious.   My waitress’ name was Amber; she doled out great service and a hospitable attitude.

Though there are many things I love about MickDuff’s Brewing Company; however, there are a few choice things I don’t.  First of all, they call themselves an “Irish” pub, but they are not very Irish. Secondly, they are a very busy restaurant, but they don’t have that much seating. Their acoustics could use a bit of work as well because the restaurant is so loud.

Mickduff’s also has some very good things as well. Patrick Feyen, high-schooler, states, “the chicken wings are amazing!” But, the best thing on the menu, for this reporter is by far the root beer. It is delectable and Oh-so rich. Another whimsical thing about MickDuff’s is their Trivia Tuesdays, which are a great way to test your knowledge of useless facts. The winning trivia group wins gift certificates.  Last, but not least, on the good side of things is that they have a merchandise section with their logo, which is great for tourists.

 

Robbed!

By Lizz Marshall and Orion Syth

On Wednesday January 9^th one of Forrest Bird Charter School’s own Orion Syth and his family were robbed while he was attending school. Although he was not the only one robbed by this criminal. How safe are our houses?

        Orion was robbed at his house in Sagle. He was robbed mainly of guns and his Xbox. The criminal also took several items of value to the family. The criminal has not been found yet. Who knows why he would rob a family already financially troubled. Orion states “Why do people rob? It would be so much easier if nobody did.”

       He was not the only one who was robbed. Four other families in Sagle have been were robbed. We know that it is the same person because he stole Xbox’s and guns from each house. Alaura Syth states that if she finds him she will make him go to jail for as long as possible.

       This all comes to a question, how safe are our houses? Everyone everywhere needs to plan safe, act safe, and be safe. People need to start doing stuff to protect their homes, families and money. You should start locking your doors when you leave, store private documents away or shred them, and don’t leave your valuables out in the open.

Another question is will you be prepared if this happens to you? And are our houses really safe? Justice isn’t always guaranteed, especially with the amount of crime in Bonner County. But one thing is looking bright for Bonner County, the number of robberies and general crime has gone down immensely in the last five years.
