Predictions for the FutureBy: Alayna Squires

Have you ever thought it would be cool tobe able to predict the future? Well, the movieBack to the Future 2 tried to. The movie isabout a kid who time travels to the future. Themovie was made in 1989 and the kid traveledto 2015. The movie predicted many thingswould come true. In the movie it was pre-dicted that we would have items such ashover boards, self-tying shoes, flying cars,and much more! Even though we don’t havethese things yet, many companies are work-ing on creating them. In fact there is a hoverboard prototype already invented. There mayhave been more misses then hits on predict-ing the future, but some things did come true.Products such as video calls (Skype andFaceTime), video glasses (Google glasses),and fingerprint payment (Apple pay) didcome true. The future may not always turnout like you think it will, but it is fun to see ifyour predictions ever come true!

GoldfishAre AGiganticProblemBy LaurenRookardTeller Lake in

Boulder, Col-orado can be

pretty. Thousands of bright colored fish inhabitthis lake. These orange, black, and white fish arethe common household goldfish. The ColoradoParks and Wildlife Department believe if theyaren’t removed from the lake soon, the fish couldend up disrupting the lake’s whole ecosystem.Who knew such little fish could have such a bigimpact?The reason they could potentially be harmful to

the lake is because they are an invasive species.The goldfish are not native to the lake, so theyhave no predators. Since nothing is eating them,more and more fish are reproducing. The num-ber of goldfish is very substantial. Park officialsbelieve there are 3,000-4,000 goldfish in the lake. The question is how did these goldfish get in

the lake to begin with? Like many animals, thefish were dropped off into the lake by owners whono longer wanted the fish. The approximated timethe first goldfish were dropped off in the lake wasabout three years ago. This doesn’t seem dan-gerous to simply drop off a small goldfish or twoin a big lake, but it can be greatly dangerous. It isalso illegal to release your fish. It is dangerous for the lake because this non-

native fish species will start competing with theother animals in the lake for food. There is a lim-ited resource for food, and the goldfish could pos-sibly overpower the native fish species for food.Park officials of Teller Lake are concerned aboutthe growing population of these goldfish. Sincetheir numbers are getting so large, the officialsare worried about the goldfish moving down-stream to compete for more food. Endangeredspecies live downstream, so if the goldfish takeover the food supply, the endangered speciescould die. Another concern the park officials haveare the diseases the goldfish could have. The na-tive fish in Teller Lake do not have the power tofight off any new diseases that come into theirlake because they are not immune.The Colorado Parks and Wildlife Biologists

have no other option; they must get rid of thegoldfish. They are contemplating their three dif-ferent options to get rid of the goldfish: they candrain the lake, stun the fish with electricity, or usea chemical that interferes with their respiratorysystem. Once they have all the goldfish, they willbe sent to the rehabilitation facility for food. Thefish will be fed to injured birds like eagles or os-prey. The fish problem will be a big hassle to rec-tify, or fix.

SamoyedBy: Nikhil Bondale

You may have asked yourself, “What is themost expensive dog breed in the world?”Well, I am here to tell you that it is for sure adog you have never heard of before. Itsname is the Samoyed. Its name comes fromthe Samoyedic people of Siberia. At the be-ginning the Samoyed was mostly bred be-cause of how well it could pull sleds. Laterpeople realized how beautiful this dog reallywas. A Samoyed is about the same heightas an average size Golden Retriever. It is al-most always white but can get a little darkerin fur color. Its eyes are normally dark brownbut can be blue. This fluffy ball of awe-someness can cost anywhere from $4,000-$11,000. The reason it’s so expensive is thatit is very rare and beautiful. If you have yourheart set on this dog, you might need a cou-ple full piggy banks.

Pigs, also called hogs or swine, are ungulates which have been do-mesticated as sources of food, leather and similar products since an-cient times. Their long association with humans has led to theirconsiderable representation in cultural settings from paintings toproverbs.They are native to Eurasia. Despite the pigs reputation for exces-

sive eating and another reputation for dirtiness, a lesser known qual-ity is their intelligence. The nearest living relatives of the swine familyare the hoofed mammals.A pig has a snout for a nose, small eyes and a small tail which may

be curly, kinked or straight. The snout is used to dig into the soil tofind food and is a very sensitive sense organ. Pigs have a full set of44 teeth. The canine teeth, called tusks grow continually and aresharpened by the lowers and uppers rubbing against each other.The pig has a thick body and short legs. There are four toes on eachfoot. The two large toes in the middle are used for walking.Pigs are omnivores, which means that they consume both plants

and animals.Pigs will scav-enge and havebeen known toeat any kind offood, includingdead insects,garbage andmore. In thewild, they areforaging ani-mals, primarilyeating leavesand grasses,roots, fruits andflowers.Domesticated

Learn AboutPigs!

pigs are commonly raised as livestock by farmers for meat(called pork), as well as for leather. Their bristly hairs are usedfor brushes too. Some breeds of pigs, such as the Asian pot-bellied pig are kept as pets.Pigs do not have functional sweat glands so they cool them-

selves using water or mud during hot weather. They use mudas a form of sunscreen to protect their skin from sunburn. Mudprovides protection from flies and parasites too.

I Want To PlayThe Accordion!

The accordion was invented in the early 1800’s in Europe (drawing fromthe concept of older Chinese instruments). It took its shape in its mod-ern form later in that century. At that time, it was able to make a loudsound as amplification hadn’t been around yet. So, it became quite pop-ular for dance music.It is believed that most accordions came to America with traveling Ger-

man merchants. It gained its popularity in various communities and es-pecially with folk music.There are three main types of accordion - diatonic, chromatic and key-

board. Diatonic and chromatic accordions have buttons for keys and key-board accordionshave a piano key-board for keys. In thestandard accordion,the keys are on theplayer’s right handside of the instrument.The left hand side haschord or bass notesthat are used to playrhythm.

Keyboard or pianoaccordions are gener-ally the most recog-nizable to the generalpublic. They havebeen very popular.Some people thathave made them pop-ular are Lawrence

Welk and “Weird Al” Yankovic. Accordions make noise when the bellows fill with air and

this air is forced out of holes which have a small reed overthem. Accordion makers tune these reeds by hand andeach note may trigger anywhere from one to four reeds.The more reeds, the more volume.

That TastesSoooooGood!!

Everyone has their favorite food they LOVE to eat! Have youever wondered how you can taste your favorite food? Tastingyour food has everything to do with your taste buds!Taste buds are sensory organs found on your tongue. These or-gans allow you to taste the four basic tastes which are sweet,salty, sour and bitter.If you stick out your tongue and look into the mirror, you will see

bumps on it. They are called papillae. Most of these contain tastebuds which have a very sensitive microscopic hair called microvilliin them. These tiny hairs send messages to the brain about whatyou are tasting, so you will know if it is sweet, salty, sour, or bitter.The average person has around 10,000 taste buds in their

mouth. They are replaced every two weeks or so. There are twothings that reduce the number of taste buds in your mouth. Thefirst one is smoking. Smoking can reduce the amount of tastebuds you have. The second reason is age. An older person hasreduced working taste buds. As a result, younger people have astronger sense of taste.Your nose plays an important part in this also. In the upper part

of your nose, there are Olfactory Receptors that have special cellswhich help you smell. These receptors send messages to thebrain too. While you’re chewing food, the food releases chemicalsthat travel up into your nose, triggering the receptors. Togetherwith the taste buds, they send a message to your brain. In thisway, you learn the true flavor of the food you are eating. Whenyou have a cold and your nose is stuffy, you will notice that yourfood doesn’t have much taste because your Olfactory Receptorscan’t receive the chemicals from the food!

Try This!You will need:4 small bowls1 teaspoon of salt1 teaspoon of sugar1 teaspoon of lemon juice1 teaspoon of vinegar1 glass of water to rinse out the tastes in your mouth1 spoon

In each bowl, add 1/4 cup of water. In the first bowl, mix in thesugar. In the second bowl, mix in the salt. In the third bowl, mix inthe lemon juice and in the fourth bowl, mix in the vinegar.Close your eyes and pinch your nose while having an adult put

a small amount of solution in your mouth. See if you can guesswhat it is. Then unplug your nose and guess again. Rinse out yourmouth and repeat this process with the rest of the solutions!

EasterIsland

• Easter Island is one of the world’s most isolated inhabited islands. Itis located in the southeastern Pacific Ocean approximately 2200 milesoff the coast of Chile. Its closest neighbor that’s inhabited is PitcaimIsland, which is 1,289 miles to the west with fewer than one hundredinhabitants. • Easter Island is also called Rapa Nui, or it’s official Spanish name isIsla de Pascua which also means “Easter Island”. The name “EasterIsland” was given by the island’s first recorded European visitor, theDutch explorer Jacob Roggeveen, who encountered it on Easter Sun-day, April 5, 1722. • The island is approximately 15 miles long and 7.6 miles at its widestpoint. It has an area of only a little over 63 square miles.• Easter Island has three extinct volcanoes, the tallest rising to 1674feet. The island is hilly, almost treeless and is mainly covered withgrasses and shrubs.• The capital is Hanga Roa.• Easter Island has mild winters with cool temperatures year roundand abundant precipitation. • Official languages are Spanish and Rapa Nui.• Easter Island is a special territory of Chile. They have a ProvincialGovernor and a Mayor. The treaty was signed on September 9, 1888.• There are three freshwater crater lakes called Rano Kau, Rano

Raraku and Rano Aroi.There are no permanentstreams or rivers.• Easter Island is famous forits over 800 monumentalstatues, called moai thatwere created by the earlyRapa Nui people. Thesepeople are considered theoriginal inhabitants who arethought to have arrived from

Polynesia at around 400 AD. The average moai statue is 14 feet, 6inches tall and weigh 14 tons. Some are as large as 33 feet andweigh more than 80 tons. Some stood on massive stone platformscalled ahu and were spaced approximately one half mile apart to cre-ate an almost unbroken line around the perimeter of the island. Themoai are believed to represent status symbols of the different EasterIsland tribes. Because of its ability to help scientists study earlyhuman societies, Easter Island is a UNESCO World Heritage Siteand much of the land belongs to the Rapa Nui National Park.• Only one airline flies to Easter Island. It is the LanChile out of San-tiago. Flights only come in and go out every few days.• The written language of the Rapa Nui has yet to be deciphered.• Easter Island's only festival is the Tapati Rapa Nui in February,which celebrates traditional Rapa Nui culture. • Easter Islanders farm small plots today and maize (corn) is nowthe major crop. Chilean cuisine has replaced the native diet. Sincethe introduction of sheepranching, sheep and cat-tle on the island havebeen the primary sourcesof meat. Most materialgoods are now obtainedfrom the store on the is-land and from the Chileangovernment. In addition tofarming and fishing,Easter Islanders nowwork for the government,in a few small businesses,and in the tourist industry.• The population of EasterIsland is approximately4,888.
