Aquarium
Have you ever been to the Seaside Aquarium? Well,
think of all the endangered fish and sharks in aquar-
iums that don’t have room in a tank. There are some
rare little swimmers getting killed and eaten by humans.
First, when people say that they love fish they prob-
ably mean eating fish. Some people might say that they
love to see fish up close. I know your probably thinking
how could you see a fish up close? Well, that’s why we
need an aquarium.
Second, some rare fish are not even alive because
people have been eating them for a long time. When we
eat fish we might make them go endangered. Endan-
gered fish don’t survive in the wild.
Third, some people might think that fish are dum, but
they are sometimes smart when hiding from predators.
When predators attack fish most of the time they hide.
Like turtles, they use their shells to defend themselves
against a shark attack. So ask your friends to tell the
government we need an aquarium.

We Should Open the Bowling Alley
Why grant countey needs a football
stadium
Have you ever wanted to go to a football game but
you don’t have to travel 2,982 miles? That is how it is for
every single person that wants to go to a football game.
We need a football stadium. Remember the day that
the biggest football stadium was built? Will let’s beat
that record.
First, well most people don’t like to travel so we need
and it will be pretty awesome to have a football stadi-
um. Like come on it is a football stadium! Like come on
we should not need to tell you guys to build a football
stadium now
Second, and plus nobody likes to be in the car 24
hours a day,. so lets build a football stadium. If you like
to stay in a car all day I don’t know what to tell you. If you
like to be in a car for that long move out of town.
Third and pulse we only have two footballs flag and
high school football pulse you have two git good grads
just two play football in high school i think thate is stupid
many pepole whant to have the nfl but theay are not giv-
ing it to us and high scholl probly going to suck becaus
if yo dont have good grads you cant play i whant the nfl
and many others whant the nfl so give it to us now
If you want to the football stadium write to the mare
not the president because he sucks or the building con-
struction because they might build it we will

Football Stadium
Have you ever wondered what it would be like at a
football stadium? We could have more players and we
could have more games here in Grant County. We need
it because it will look cooler and we will have more play-
ers and more fans. We will be a better football team
too and we might go to state and have more games at
home.
First, kids can have fun there and they can play catch
there and they don’t need to play video games. They
can play catch, they can play football with their dad and
with their brother or sister.
Second, we need it because it will look cooler and
we will have more players and more fans. We will be a
better team and we will have more players.
Third, we will be a much better team. If you want to
do challenges, you can do it at the football stadium and
we will probably go to state most of the time. We may
even go to state and we probably win state. We will be
way better than the other years. In conclusion, if you
don’t want a football stadium then you don’t need to get
one, but if you do want one then go talk to the mayor.

Nugget Lanes was a bowling alley located on Main
Street in John Day. It opened in 1996, but it has shut
down since then. I think Russ Young should re-open the
Nugget Lanes Bowling Alley in John Day.
First, I think we should open the bowling alley so
that people can have fun events. People could use the
bowling alley for holidays, birthdays, and fun with their
friends and family. I really wanted to go bowling on my
birthday, but we couldn’t because the bowling alley
was closed. The closest bowling alley is in Baker City. I
would have to drive over an hour just to get there.
Second, the bowling alley would provide jobs for
people. Some of the jobs would include cleaning the
bowling alley, cooking for the concession stands, taking
food out to customers, and giving out shoes. I think at
least 5 people could get jobs at the bowling alley.
Third, the bowling alley could have league bowling.
Families, business, or friends could form leagues and
compete. There could even be trophies for first, second,
and third place each season.
Please help me open up the John Day Nugget Lanes
bowling alley. If you agree that we need to open back up
the bowling alley in John Day, please call Russ Young
at 541-932-4223.

The Dixie Snow Park is a wonderful place for chil-
dren to play. It is also a good place to ski and be with
friends and family. Unfortunately, the snow park is old
and needs work done. I think we should push for fund-
ing for fixing the snow park.
First, the lights are old and never run. After dark ski-
ing is very fun, but with no lights you could crash. That
definitely would not be good. I think they should put in
new lights.
Second, the brush is so thick that it could hurt some-
one going down. I think they should clear the ski / sled
trail, then no one will get hurt. If it is a safe place, more
people will go.
Third, the tow rope is out of order. Even if they get it
running the rope is old, dangerous, and could snap. I
think they should switch the rope out for a cable.
I think we should push for funding for a better snow
park. Think of all the upsides to a better snow park. It
would also create new jobs, that would be nice. So what
do you say, are you with me or not? If you are, please
contact the Forest Service at (541) 575 3000.

Starr Ridge Ski Tow
Starr Ridge is up Canyon Mountain. The Snow Park
at Starr Ridge is a great place to have fun for a day.
People can go there to sled, snowmobile, and more. It
is a lot of fun, and the experience is great. I recommend
you go there for a day with friends and family. However,
it is a lot of work to climb up the steep hill. I think if they
put a ski tow in, the experience would be better.
Starr Ridge does not get a lot of attention because it
is a lot of work to climb up the hIll just for a few seconds
of fun. Then you have to work hard again to go back up
the hill. If you’re a skier you have to carry those heavy
skis, making it even harder. Even though sleds are light-
er, you still have to carry your gear up the hill.
The best time to go sledding or skiing is in the deep
snow, but the deep snow makes it even harder to walk
up the hill. By the time you get all the way there you are
wet, tired, cold, and hungry. After you do that once or
twice you don’t want to do it anymore. If there was a ski
tow, you and your friends or family might stay longer.
Finally, there is a way to get income from it too. An
annual family pass would be 100 dollars, a week family
pass would be 25 dollars, and a day family pass would
be 10 dollars. All the money would go to maintenance
of the ski tow and to pay the operator.
The ski tow would be open and run by the operator
from 8 am to 8 pm Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
Having a ski tow at Starr Ridge will let more families
have fun in the snow. It will also bring income and jobs
to Grant County. So that leaves you my friend. Will you
help me take action? If you think we need a ski tow at

Improving the
Grantville Movie Theater
The Grantville Movie Theater is a great place to hang
out and bring your date to watch a movie without any
awkward silences. The Grantville Movie Theater would
also be a good place to hang out with friends. I like
the Movie Theater because the snack bar has the best
popcorn, and the most sodas and candy bars to choose
from!
If the Grantville Movie Theater had kid movies play-
ing on certain days and adult movies playing on the
other days, that way adults can enjoy the movie without
kids screaming and getting in the way. The Movie The-
ater mostly plays movies that have been out for a long
time, if the movies were movies that had just came out
like the new Spiderman movie, then people would want
to come to the Grantville Movie Theater instead of hav-
ing to drive multiple miles to go watch a movie, when
they can just come to the Grantville Movie Theater!
If the Movie Theater plays movies weekly instead of
monthly, more people would come to watch the movies.
If there was a movie suggestion box people would be
able to put suggestions for movies that they want to see
if they get bored of the movies playing or there are no
more new movies they could pick out of the movie sug-
gestion box, and play those movies.
