“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

War in Iraq, Worth It?
George Bush is spending a lot of money for the war in Iraq. Do you think spending money for wars is worth it?

GWN Reader and Typist Cynthia Yao suggested this debate idea about 2 months ago. We finally have a chance to use your idea, Cynthia. Thanks for the idea! Do you think we should spend so much money for wars like this?
Please do not offend Bush, just give your opinions to: GingerbreadWklyNews@gmail.com

Best Movie
Out of Iron Man, Prince Caspian, and Indiana Jones, which movie do you like the best (or think you will like the best)?

The Zhou family watched movies 3 weeks in a row! Out of the three movies they watched, and according to their stories (on the Cover Story), which movie do or think you like the most? Send answers to GWN's email address please!

Pokémon Drawing Contest
GWN is extending the deadline for the Pokémon drawing contest to June 3rd because several GWN Readers told Diane Zhou and Amanda Chang that they needed extra time. We will not review the rules again on paper issues, but they will still be on our website: http://www.freewebs.com/gingerbreadwklynews.
Last week GWN asked readers if they wanted to have Honorable Mention (HM) awards, and it seems like “Yes!”, we should have HM awards. GWN decided that we will award 1st through 5th places, and have 5 more HM awards! See what people said about HM awards in the Mail Pail section on page 8.
This means that first place gets 6 tickets, second place 5, third place 4, fourth place 3, fifth place 2, and HM awarders 1. All of these people and other participants get another GWN ticket for participating! GWN will run out of tickets!!!
Remember to just try your best. Be creative, neat, try new things, and have fun! Good luck, everyone! Results are out next week.
