First things first: no, you will not be losing your parts this week! I will sheepishly admit, I misunderstood some of the things City Hall told me over our weekly luncheon (I think I was distracted by the butterflies in the garden or something). There are plans for face parts, yes, and you won't be thrilled with all of them, but... well, I'll leave that to City Hall to explain, in next week's Times. Yes, I know that's a long time to wait, but the fact is, the City Workers are still formulating the plan in the first place... and they will take your *constructive* ideas into consideration.
That said, I have to ask you folks who are emailing City Management to not just send pure protests anymore. "We get the idea," says an anonymous city worker, "and now we need to get some Ideas, if you know what I mean. All the emails in the world won't lighten up our database or pay for the super server we'd need to maintain Whyville at the rate it's growing. I know they're smart -- Whyvillians will someday solve all the world's problems using the Whyville Way -- so maybe they can start with this one."
On a side note, I need more submissions about elections, senate candidates, the history of the senate, what a platform is, and what steps a candidate should take to run for election and then succeed in office!
That said, let's move on to lighter reading... or more literary reading, at least! :-)
Calliope's Critique Club will be held Saturday at 4:30pm Whyville Time in the Greek Theater. Works to be debated over and analyzed include Fahrenheit 451 and the play The Crucible. Next Wednesday, MediaWiz will do his regular once-a-month BookHour, this time covering Yolanda's Genius. Read their articles this week to learn more about Whyville's summer reading and writing activities!
The Summer Staff competition has officially closed, and we've published the first two finalists, Giggler01 and Wildfire9. More to come! (Although the application date is past, we may consider exceptional submissions as late entries for the "alternates" positions... so go back and read the instructions (one and two) to make sure you're sending the best possible pieces!)
And finally, check out the Science section this week! It's spectacular -- I challenge every one of you to write articles of this caliber for the July 25th edition of the Times. I'm certain all of you can do it, even you... yeah, you, the one who's saying Oh I Can't Write. Nonsense! And anyways, there's no better Whyville Times honor than being named Times Science Writer... unless it's the Summer Staff Science Writer! Heehee. ;)
Don't let your brain get rusty, and never think slow,
