“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!

Debate Time (El Niño or Global Warming):
“It's hotter than usual, so it should be El Niño.” Alex Zhou, 2nd grade
“Global Warming.” Susan Pham, 5th grade
“Global Warming. It is not rainy.” Deanna Wong, 5th grade
“I think it is El Niño because Global Warming doesn't cause earthquakes.” Cynthia Yao, 5th grade
“Global Warming; the weather isn't that weird.” Nicole and Vicky Sun, 5th grade
“Global Warming, El Niño isn't really possible.” Nicole Tong, 5th grade
“No, I don't think it is El Niño year, I think it is just Global warming because El Niño is supposed to be really weird weather, but it's not that weird.” Emily Wang, 4th grade
“I think this year is just Global Warming. You know how you said it was the El Niño Year in 1997. Well, in class, I learned that the El Niño year doesn't come every decades or year. That is why I don't think it is El Niño Year this year. Besides, many already said that the Earth is turning warm because of Global Warming last year, it'll be difficult for Global Warming to turn back normally that quickly.” Chloris Li, 5th grade
“I think it's Global Warming. It was like so hot so early this year!” Carol Zhang, adult
“El Niño, because Global Warming doesn't happen this fast.” Shudong Zhou, adult

“I think GWN should only give paper copies to people who actually want them and email the rest.” Nicole Tong, 5th grade
