“Go Local!”

“Go Local!” is GWN's motto, starting from May 27, 2008, a motto started by GWN Founder Diane Zhou's dad. “So many big chain companies, like McDonald's, own newspapers that turned from local to national or worldwide. That loses the meaning of 'local news', so I support GWN,” Diane's dad told GWN. GWN is being motivated by this motto. Without it, GWN would have disappeared long ago in November, 2007!

The Disastrous Day
It all started in the morning with a few sounds of scratching in the kitchen. Something gray passed by. MOUSE!!! Diane's family chased the mouse all around the house. The closest they got to it was when it jumped off the table right in front of Diane's dad's face! Too bad...it escaped.
Later, Diane's family went to the Redwood City's ice rink (Ice Oasis) to pick Diane's skates. They were stretched the night before, to make the skates bigger by a half size. They felt a lot better to Diane. Then they went to Costco, and that's when a problem occurred...
When Diane's family put all the things they bought into the car, ready to go home, the car wouldn't move. Out of batteries. Costco sold battery cases, but wouldn't allow anyone to use their tools. There was no way to change the batteries. They had to call AAA (Triple A) for help. The AAA truck transferred some electricity to Diane's family's car. They went to Home Depot to buy some things to capture mice. Then when they were going to go, the car stopped again. Luckily, Diane's dad bought a back-up battery case and Home Depot had the tools to put the back-up battery case in.
Finally no more trouble. What a disastrous day!
“I guess it wasn't too much of a disastrous day. I played card games with some grown-ups at a party at someone else's house,” Diane told Gingerbread Weekly News. “And the best part was [that] the mouse was caught when I came back from the party!”
