MORE
TEACHERS JOIN SICKOUT
LITTLE PAY, LONG HOURS AT ISSUE |
| More teachers joined the sickout
this week, in order to bring attention to the fact that they need raisies.
In the Newport School district, teachers are not striking but instead working
exactly 8 hours and not doing any estra curricular activities. The district
hopes that this si more effective than a strike. |

TEASERS |
| This weeks brain teaser |
| Once upon a time, there was a little
town called Pippin- Town. In PippinTown, there lived several masters and
their apprentices. Each master was an expert in his area and did not speak
with other masters. Each master, though, had one apprentice.
One day, the mayor of the town called
all the masters into the town square for a meeting. The mayor said, "I
have some sad news to report. I have been informed that there is AT LEAST
ONE apprentice who is a thief and has been stealing from his master. I
have verified it myself."
Surprisingly, the masters were
not surprised. Each master knew which of the other apprentices were thieves,
but did not suspect his own.
"Now," the mayor continued, "to
avoid name calling, each master is responsible for reporting his own apprentice
if he discovers that his apprentice is a thief." The masters agreed that
this was a good plan. "On the first day of the upcoming year, we will meet
here again in the town square at noon. If any master knows that his apprentice
is a thief, he should declare so. If no one comes forth, everyone can go
home, and we will meet again each day until the thieves have been exposed."
Assuming that the mayor's words
are true, on which day is each of the thieves exposed? Hint:the number
of masters and apprentices does not matter. |
| Last weeks brain teaser and
answer |
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?

What a busy week. First I had to
get ready for Easter so I went and spent a lot of Mulah. Then Stefanie
came over to spend the night with Serena again on Saturday. We colored
Easter Eggs. After they went to bed I had the task of playing Peter Cotton
tail. The next day I played Chef and cooked a huge Easter Dinner.
Well next week Serena is going to go on vacation with her mom for a week
so I am going to be Job hunting. Wish me luck!

| COMPLAINTS
OF THE WEEK |
| In late April is turn off the t.v.
week. At first I thought this was a good idea. Now I'm not so sure. Why
should we turn off the T.v.? Just about everyone has one. I think it should
be something like reduce the time you watch tv week. The premis for turn
off the t.v. week seems good. But what is next. Don't answer the phone
week, Don't use electricity week. Etc. . So instead of turning
off the t.v. next week, I say let them watch Jeopardy! But just in moderation.
