** Local Kid Wins Hunting Tournament ** By: Max Lorge A young boy by the name of Billy Coleman won the Ozark Mountain Hunting Tournament with his 2 dogs. First he nailed the beauty contest with his female dog named Little Ann. After that is was time for them to get hunting. Their night to hunt was the fourth. They came back with 3 coon skins, making this competition a 3 way tie by the end of it. After they realized there was a 3 way tie breaker to finish it up. The night of the tie breaker there was a terrible blizzard that blew through and Billy was stuck with his father, grandfather, and his 2 dogs. They ended up winning by finding 3 coons in one tree and getting the 4th at the last second. I guess that just proves that is you put your mind to the test you can conquer anything.

** Warning! Mountain Lion Attacks ** By: Josh Baca Last week, there was a Mountain Lion attack. The beast was startled when a boy, named Billy Coleman, was walking with his two dogs. The Lion jumped out of the bushes and tried to attack the boy. Luckily one of the dogs fought off the Mountain Lion. The Mountain Lion ran away after that. Unfortunately the Lion badly injured the male dog. The dog’s insides were falling out and he eventually died. I think that this issue should be dealt with immediately. If this Lion attacks again, a human could be killed. This Mountain Lion, in the area need to be killed or relocated.

** Interview: Billy Coleman ** By: Max Lorge Q: How does it feel to finally win the Ozark Mountain hunting Tournament?

A: It feels great! I can’t believe I actually won. I knew that my dogs were good but I didn’t know that they were good enough to stand up to some of the best in the country though. And win!

Q: When your dog, Little Ann, won the beauty contest and you earned the first trophy of the competition how did you feel?

A: I was surprised I won and that I won and I thought that it was going to be the only trophy I won.

Q: Were you scared when you were hunting the last night and the blizzard came in, were you scared?

A: Yes, of course. I don’t think you can go through a blizzard without fear of being lost for ever, especially me.

Q: Last question, when you chopped down that tree and 3 raccoons popped out, were you excited?

A: Yes, I was surprised and excited.

** A Boy and His Dogs ** By: Josh Baca Billy Coleman saved up his money for a long time. He saved his money just so he could buy two Redcoon Hounds. Billy walked all the way to the town to pick them up. This happened about a month ago. Billy was very happy with his new hunting dogs. He soon taught them to kill raccoons. Before long he even won a competition with them!

An Algonquin Legend
The Great Earth Mother had two sons, Glooskap and Malsum. Glooskap was good, wise, and creative; Malsum was evil, selfish, and destructive. When their mother died, Glooskap went to work creating plants, animals, and humans from her body. Malsum, in contrast, made poisonous plants and snakes. As Glooskap continued to create wonderful things, Malsum grew tired of his good brother and plotted to kill him. In jest, Malsum bragged that he was invincible, although there was one thing that could kill him: the roots of the fern plant. He badgered Glooskap for days to find the good brother's vulnerability. Finally, as Glooskap could tell no lies, he confided that he could be killed only by an owl feather. Knowing this, Malsum made a dart from an owl feather and killed Glooskap. The power of good is so strong, however; that Glooskap rose from the dead, ready to avenge himself. Alive again, Glooskap also knew that Malsum would continue to plot against him. Glooskap realized that he had no choice but to destroy Malsum in order that good would survive and his creatures would continue to live. So he went to a stream and attracted his evil brother by loudly saying that a certain flowering reed could also kill him. Glooskap then pulled a fern plant out by the roots and flung it at Malsum, who fell to the ground dead. Malsum's spirit went underground and be-came a wicked wolf-spirit that still occasionally torments humans and animals, but fears the light of day.
