Lincoln a Must See!

By: Burke Palmer

“My great concern is not whether you have failed, but whether you are content with your failure.”


-Abraham Lincoln.

As the civil war rages on, the divided nation’s President wants to stop slavery. However, the only way he can is by doing two things: Pass the thirteenth amendment to the US Constitution, (also known as The Emancipation Proclamation), and claim the slaves as property seized through war (thereby setting them free.) But, the war is coming to a halt before long, so Lincoln is faced with a harsh decision; Stop the war and give up the hope of abolishing slavery, or battle on to become a free nation?

Well because, people don't know what they're doing, and if they keep it up, we might not have computer labs anymore.

Sandpoint's Family Dining and Great Root Beer!

By Burke Palmer

I recently went to MickDuffs Brewing Company. I had the French dip with gorgonzola cheese fries. The beef was succulent and the au jus was mouth-wateringly awesome. But, the best thing by far that I had was the home brewed root beer; it was mind-numbingly delicious...
