He Lost His Keys

Mr. Worley lost his keys.  He says, "they were misplaced."  He says, "they were misplaced somewhere between the his classroom chair and the restroom.  You know how adults are..."oh I misplaced my keys!"  Ya right.  So there we were in World History class and he looks desperate.  Poor old guy was desperate.  "Oh, I'm not worried."  Ya Right.  Then he tells us that whoever finds his keys will earn a pizza lunch for their entire class.  We take a break during the 90 minute class and there is Kaylee and Alivia quietly going through the room.  Under the desk, under the couches, and even in the book shelves-now we're all looking.  Surprise! Alivia opens the drawer under the microwave where paper plates and napkins are silently waiting.
There are the keys!  No one asks why Mr. Worley would place his keys in that drawer.  But they do ask, "So when do we get our pizza?"  Here's another deal opportunity for W.  How long will it take to receive the pizza?  Make a guess and win a prize from The Blog Class!

Recess at OCS

I took it upon myself to go visit and play games with Mr. Slavens and Mrs. Roosmas classes. First I tried a game of scatter ball, it was entertaining for a short while. The object of the game is to throw the ball at someone in the selected boundaries. If you are hit you have to sit out until the person that got you out gets out. You can only take 3 steps before you throw the ball. Next I played 4 square, it was fun for the kids because you keep rotating when you get out, so you get a chance to play no matter what. I interviewed some of the kids and asked them why they don't play any other games. Luke Bronn said "Because we are happy just playing these games." I asked them if they wanted to play basketball but the kids seemed uninterested. I couldnt understand why they had no interest for other games. It seems as though they play a one or two games for a period of time and then move on to the next ones.

Community Service

Yesterday, we had Community Service day. OCS invited schools from the Washington Adventist Conference to come to Orcas and help clean up our island. The OCS middle school students went to Turtleback Mountain and pulled Scotch Broom. Tommy Algier one of the middle school students didn't really enjoy pulling Scotch Broom but he did learn that the plant spreads really fast. The OCS high school students went to the Fire Station and cleaned the fire trucks. We also cut blackberries down by the parking lot. Herbie Sisson really enjoyed his time at the fire station and really enjoyed helping the firefighters after they do so much for us. At the end of the day all the schools came together by our gym and we took a picture and also had a fun worship. I think everyone had a great time.

Puyallup Fair Unite Trip

Last year at the Puyallup fair I did many different fun activities. One of the things I did was play a game where my pod had to take a picture of different objects at the fair. A couple of the items chosen were a monster truck and a Clydesdale horse. We also went shopping and enjoyed various fair rides. Then we walked over to Taco Bell for lunch. The students had a variety of different foods they can buy for lunch. One of the biggest things we got to do was go to the News Boys concert. It was very fun. We all went down to the lower seats and sang and played around. We then stayed at a gym and half the high school joined in for a giant game of basketball. It was one of the funnest pick up games in which I have been involved.  Mr. Worley was able to tape the game and interviewed a few people on how it went. The next day we ate some quick breakfast and left for the ferry.

Major League Baseball nearing October

It's time to watch or listen to Major League Baseball at its very best. The playoffs and the chance to play for the World Series Championship begings next month. Can the New York Yankees repeat to make it 29 times that they have won the World Series this October? Will a first time World Series Winner take all the glory this year? The Twins can win their division tonight with a win by them or a loss by the Chicago Cubs. This year's October will be amazing.

NFL Week 2

Chiefs 2-0?

First up with have the Kanas City Chiefs visiting the Clevend Browns. The Chiefs kicked a field goal with 36 seconds left on the clock in the 1st Quarter. Peyton Hillis had a 1 yard touchdown run 5 minutes into the 2nd Quarter for the Browns to take the lead for the Browns 7-3. Then Brandon Flowers had a 33 yard interception return for the Chiefs to reclaim the lead 10-7. With a minute left in the half Josh Cribbs caught a 65 yard pass from Senaca Wallace. The rest was a pretty boring game with the Chiefs kicking two more field goals. This makes the Chiefs one of the 6 teams that are 2-0. The Chiefs haven't started a season out
2-0 since the 2005 season.

Duel of the Manning Brothers on Monday Night Football

This game after the first half I think we could all say it was going to be a blow out with the Colts up 24-0 over the Giants. The Colts had an early 7 yard run in the first quarter to take the lead 7-0. The 2nd quarter started with a bang with a 50 yard touchdown pass to Dallas Clark from Payton Manning. The Colts scored another touchdown and kicked another field goal to conclude the first half. The Colts scored another 2 touchdowns while the Giants actually scored 2 touchdowns. The final was 38-14 Colts over the Giants. As the radio announcer said last night "This would have been the score if Payton was 14 and Eli 9 playing football in the back yard"

Where's Roo

Roo and Clara Smith are finally back at OCS. He and his sister Clara have been in 7 states and two countries this past summer. They started out their summer with an exotic trip down to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico to do mission work in an orphanage. Their family and them stayed in Puerto Vallarta for a little over a month. Roo started going to a spanish school while Clara and her sisters worked at the orphanage. Roo met up with them after his school got out.
When they came home from Mexico they went directly to a christian music festival named Creation. Creation was in Enumclaw, Washington this year after it was at the Gorge in eastern Washington the year before. People say that the Gorge was a much better location because it was at a canyon instead of fair grounds in Enumclaw. They said it was a very eye-opening experience.
After they went to Creation music festival they came home for a week then went off on their east-coast adventure. On their first stop they went to their grandparents house in Williamsburg, Virginia they stayed there for about a two weeks. While they were there they dropped their oldest sister, Maddy, off at college in Williamsburg at the college of William and Mary.
Their next stop was to their aunt's house in Annapolis, Maryland. They stayed there for about one week or so. While they were there they saw the Naval Academy. For them that was almost the highlight of their summer. While in Annapolis they are only 30 minutes away from Washington D.C and Baltimore. They went to our nations Capitol, Smithsonian Museums, Library of Congress, White House, and even to the top of the Washington Monument.
The Smith kids also went to Philadelphia to watch the Philadelphia Phillies play baseball. They also walked around in old Philadelphia and saw the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall. They also went to New York, New York and watched a baseball game at Yankee Stadium.
From New York they drove from New York to Washington D.C then took their flight out from there to Washington. Within two days they were back at OCS.

Camp Out at Moran

Another camp out at Moran State Park has come and gone. Amazing how fast they always seem to fly by each year. This was my second year being part of the high school group and I had a lot of fun. With the high school being so small we began the activities with four pods. After joining the elementary we grew into  seven pods. My pod had the following responsibilities: Alex and I were in charge of the "filling the bucket relay", Effie and Doug were in charge of the water balloon race. We had around ten kids in a group. I think I can say this for most of the high school that we all had a lot of fun playing with the younger kids. They got rained on as they slept last night by a half inch of rain.

Spirals, designs of chaos in a fantastic order to draw the eye

Of whoever so passes by.

The break in the parallel and uniform appearance of a chain fence.

Meant to keep others away,

And yet this one encourages observation and curiosity.

An individual among identicals.
