On the night of her eleventh birthday, Martine Allen was enjoying a night with her parents, Veronica and David, in her nice home in England. That night, she had a strange dream about a majestic place of granite cliffs and green forests. She remembered seeing children running around, but all of a sudden the sky turned an angry red color, and thunder voiced the clouds. One child found a goose with a broken wing, and the rest of the children began to hurt it and torture it.

Martine squeezed through the crowd and cradled the poor goose in her arms. All of a sudden, her hands turned warm and glowed, and it immediately sent a crackling of electricity from her to the bird. The bird suddenly jumped from her hands and took to the sky. Martine felt good that she helped the goose, but the rest of the children began to chant "Witch! Witch!". Martine ran into the forest, but the children chased her. She felt a sudden warmness and a hand grabbed her, and she woke up screaming. When she awoke, she realized that her house had been on fire, so she jumped out from her window, with her parents still inside, burning alive. Martine was scarred for life.

Activities director Monique Walton says she created the new “Fear the Colts” program in order to give Logan student’s better deals and also generate money for our school.

Walton told The Courier that last year she felt like the students weren’t given good enough deals for the ASB stickers, so she created this program that includes more savings for students who buy the ASB stickers.

She said she hopes this new program will entice the student body to participate in school activities and help generate money for Logan. So far, more than 300 stickers have been sold.

From wikipedia:
Henry Chadwick (October 5, 1824 – April 20, 1908), often called the "father of baseball," was a sportswriter, baseball statistician and historian.

Born in Exeter, England, and raised on cricket, Chadwick was one of the prime movers in the rise of baseball to its unprecedented popularity at the turn of the 20th century. Chadwick moved to Brooklyn with his family at the age of 12, and became a frequent player of early ball games such as rounders. He began covering cricket for numerous local newspapers such as the Long Island Star. It is said Chadwick first came across baseball in 1856 in New York as a young cricket reporter, while watching a match between New York's Eagle and Gotham clubs. In 1857 he focused his attention as a journalist and writer on baseball after joining the New York Clipper, and was also soon hired on to provide coverage for other New York papers including the Sunday Mercury. A keen amateur statistician and professional writer, he helped sculpt the public perception of the game, as well as providing the basis for the records of team's and player's achievements in the form of baseball statistics.
