STATE
TEACHERS TO STRIKE!!!
LITTLE PAY, LONG HOURS AT ISSUE |
| Teachers in several school districts
are planning to call in sick in the next couple of weeks to bring attention
to the state that they need a pay raise. Teachers in Washinton have not
seen a pay raise in four years. Meanwhile cost of living has gone up. The
strike will only last one day. Right now no dates have been set but it
looks like the strike will happen between April 19-22. |

HITS COMPUTERS E-MAIL |
| The Melissa Virus hit several business
in the area this week. The virus shut down E-mail at Microsoft and the
City of Portland. The virus isn't like most viruses. This one copied the
users address book and sent each person in the address book a copy of the
virus. Currrently the FBI is investigating. |

Now just for you, a place to
take a break on the net. Brain teasers. Each week I will bring you a new
brain teaser. The answers will appear the week after. Good Luck!
This weeks brain teaser
Say there are two couples who live
next door to each other in a duplex. Their names are on a card in the shared
hallway as follows:
E R N E S T
E S T H E R
L E S T E R
T E R E S A
Because the names look too confusing,
they ask thier landlord to separate them with three pencil lines, like
this:.
|
E R N E S T
|
|
E S T H E R
|
|
L E S T E R
|
|
T E R E S A
|
But their landlord says he found a
cheaper way to do it with only two pencil lines. How does he do it?
Answers appear next week

25 March to 30 March
This week went by fast but who's
complaining? I've had no luck with the car. It's still down. I hope to
have it up soon because it sure is a pain to have to use the bus. Serena
and Stef stayed the night Saturday and we colored Easter eggs and had a
blast making Play doh. It was a pretty fun week.

| COMPLAINTS
OF THE WEEK |
| This week, A school in Seattle
is going to be closed so the teachers can have a one day strike so they
can get a raise. Washington state teachers want a well deserved 15% raise.
The state however is being a grinch and thinks money could be better spent.
I think this is terrible. personally teachers deserve a lot more than a
fifteen percent raise. They spend all day at school dealing with kids.
Many of them don't make enough money to make ends meet. I think it's sad
that the State won't consider the raise. After all none of us would be
where we are today if it wasn't for our teachers. So is it really fair
for us to make more than they do?=-) |
