NEWSVIEWS 11-5-09

Rachel Hawkins, New Knoxville: I really liked the Mesopotamia part. The cool thing is my class had just learned about it in Social Studies. We had talked about Babylon, Hammurabi, and Nebuchadnezzar II in class. That was a weird coincidence.

Miss Amon’s 7th period class, Findlay High School: We really enjoyed the segment about Tillman the skateboarding dog. Is he the dog that is on a TV commercial for floor covering? We would love for him to come to our school and skateboard down the hallways! We wish our dogs could skateboard, too.

Jessica Jackson, B.L. Miller Elementary: I really liked the bones. I thought they were so cool. It must take forever to dig all those holes. The skeleton was cool but kinda scared me. Perfect for Halloween!

Kylie Shields, B.L. Miller Elementary: That dog on the skateboard was awesome. I have never seen a dog skateboard before. Wow, I wish my dog could do that but he is too big. That was my favorite part of the video. That was cool!

Rondez Coston, Clovernook Elementary: The story I am writing about is Big Red the kitten stuck in the sewer. It is nice that the fire department would go through all that trouble just to get that kitten. They had to do it because if the owner would have tried, she would have probably got hurt. I think it is COOL that they named the cat Big Red!

Micah Macklin, Clovernook Elementary: The story about the H1N1 vaccine is so scary. I hope they get it done on time. This is the one and only time I want a shot. I really think the FDA should study the things about the insect cells, because it could be dangerous. So right now the chicken eggs are best.

Delia Grantham, Montrose Elementary: I loved the story about the kitten named Big Red. Even though it was sad it was still very good. I am so glad that lady saw her or she might still be trapped! It is so amazing that a kitten actually got caught in a storm drain. It was very nice of the fire men to get dive gear on and get her out. Also, I love its new name, Big Red.

Reece Wilson, Montrose: NASA’s space ship is the coolest ship ever. I love space ships and I love science. Maybe I can be an astronaut when I grow up.

Daziah Turner, Clovernook: WOW!! I cannot believe Tillman! A dog that reads, a horse that can count, elephant car washes, and now a dog that can skateboard! That is kind of AWESOME when you think about it. He could be the dog version of Tony Hawk (Tony Dog). Go Tillman!

Amanda Paisley, Clovernook Elementary: I love the skateboarding dog. We’ve seen a counting horse, an elephant that washes cars, a spelling dog, and NOW a skateboarding dog. What could be next!? He has his own agent and RV, he might as well have his own new skateboard! I really want my own dog and skateboard. Again, Tillman is very cool!

Maureese Pruitt, Clovernook Elementary: I can’t believe what I just saw! I think that I-X rocket is the biggest rocket I’ve ever seen! I wonder how many people can fit in the nose cone. I bet if it would take off somewhere in Cincinnati, it would probably feel like an earthquake.

Johnathan Polace, Ledgeview Elementary: I thought the skateboarding bulldog was so cool! I saw a video showing how to teach your dog to skate board. My puppy loves playing with my basketball. I'm sure he'll love skateboarding. I wonder how the bulldog would do on a half pipe.

Talia Naylor, Ledgeview Elemenary: I think that it was so cool that that dog holds the Guinness World Record for fastest dog on a skateboard! If I had a dog like that I would be so proud of him. I Would let the whole world know about my dog. The funny thing is that it would be the dog that was famous not me. I would have so much fun with my dog. I would host very many dog races. Even I would try to race my dog! I would name my dog Super-Speed! That story was really cool!"

Eric Heidenthal, Mayfield High School: I am glad that the cat is safe with a new owner. I was worried about the cat getting stuck in the sewers. I will save the cat if it ever gets stuck again!

Hi My Name is Zach Rominske and I am a sixth grader at Barlow-Vincent Elementary School in Vincent, Ohio. I loved the story about the dog who skate boards. I just got my own dog, Oscar, and want to teach him how to skate board. I wish my dog could do that. I also enjoyed the story about the cat under the highway. It is great to learn about talented animals.

Devin Hagler, Huntington Elementary: Today my class watched Newsdepth about the H1N1 subject, and when I saw that boy get the shot, I could not look! I can not see others get shots! I hate shots. I know they will help me when I am sick but they really hurt! Who likes shots? I know I don't! Ahhhh!

Alyssa Eyster, Adena Elementary: I think it is so cool that they found part of a Mesopotamia village. It would be amazing to be an archaeologist who helped dig up the artifacts. My class divided into groups and pretended we were the ancient society. We made artifacts to bury. After that we dug up another group’s artifacts and pieced together their society. It was fun!

Hi, I’m Fosh Trout from Meadowlawn School in Sandusky. I think it is really sad how all those birds got caught in those algae. I also think that it is really nice that those people are trying to help. It must be really bad algae if it does that to birds.

Shane Held-Goloja, Huntington Elementary: I liked the stories about the birds and the cat. The bird story was sad until people were interested in helping. I hope the birds are doing well. I also thought the cat “Big Red” was cute. Thanks to the firefighters, the cat is now in a good home. I’m sure the owner is a good, responsible person.

Christian Harwood, St. Paul School: I liked the catapult. I wonder if they made it of if they bought it. If they bought it, I would like to go there and buy one too. If I had one I would launch pumpkins and other stuff.

Benjamin Nist, St. Paul School: I can't believe that the cat's owner did not call about a missing cat. I have two cats and if one of then got lost I would try to find it. I think that lady has a good heart for saving that cat.

Lane Yerrick, Greentown Elementary: That was so cool how they found the mud brick village! I can't believe the vases and the village are two thousand years old! Man that is old! WOW 600 artifacts that is a lot. They have to be really careful not to break the artifacts. The vases look like they were just made!! That is so weird that they found the skeleton and the feet bones were separate. I wonder if they will find more things.

Hannah Schlemmer, St. Jude School: I liked the story about Tillman, the bulldog with the skateboarding world record. It's hard to believe that the dog learned to skateboard when he was just 8 months old! I'd like to see the dog skateboard in real life. I hope to see Tillman in the Guinness Book of World Records.

Shayna Bierlein, New Knoxville School District: It is sad that those sea birds had to go through those algae. It must have hurt. I'm glad most of them made it. Those people who helped those birds should be proud of themselves. Hopefully someday I can get a chance to volunteer. Thank you for your time.

Austin Jacobs: I think it's cool they found the capsule. It is creepy that the feet are not in the capsule. It surprised me that they found that capsule. I wonder if that skeleton is a he or a she?? Speaking of skeletons, I don't really like Halloween or candy but my little brother and sister do. I like newsdepth-see you next time!

Meghan, from Crestwood Intermediate School: Wow! That dog on that skateboard. That was cool. I wish my dog can do that. What is his name? My dog’s name is Zoey. How fast can he go? Can he go faster than 32 mph? Where was it in, Texas? Was it in the Alamo? My aunt went there last week.

Brendan Bowling, Cuayahoga Hts. Middle School: I'm glad they are helping those birds. Those harmful algae must be very difficult to the birds. I hope they get well soon!

Alex: OMG! I thought it was sooo nice of those people to help the birds. If I could do that I would feel GREAT! I thought that it was really nice of them. I hope I get a chance to do that some day!!!!!!!!

Jacob Kuchta: This week’s episode was really cool. I especially liked the story about the ancient ruins in Mesopotamia. Does anyone know why their feet were outside the casket? Could it be an ancient ritual, or could it have been religious?

Bella, Kitty Hawk Elementary: I liked when the dog was skateboarding. It was really funny and the dog is really, really cute.

Devon, Kitty Hawk Elementary: I liked that dog who skateboards really fast. Then, he rammed into the wall. Then, he got on again and kept riding the skateboard. I want you to see if that dog has roller skates.

Emily Knasel, Northwood: I liked the story about the kitten. He must have been starving. If I were Big Red I’d be scared too. I also think that lady deserves him. It’s also nice that she told someone and didn’t just let it stay there. Big Red was awfully brave.

Zac Cook, Northwood: I love your show. The part I liked was the skateboarding dog. Hang on dog! I am in 5th grade. I also liked the kitten. Poor kitty! I also have a cat named Fuzzball.

Travis Cilik, Mayfield Center: I thought the H1N1 vaccine story was very interesting! Hopefully soon doctors will give the vaccine to everyone. I don’t think anyone would want to get the swine flu.

Cameron Anderson, Meadowlawn Elementary: That story about the manatees. It would be really cool to take care of manatees. They look so friendly. I don't think they would harm anybody unless they had to. I thought that the special container for the manatees was really cool. If I were a manatee I'd be having so much fun in Tampa.

Abigail Palmer, St. Jude School: Wow! I love the story about Tillman, the skateboarding dog. I think it's amazing that a dog could be so famous and have an agent. I wonder how the owner felt the first time Tillman discovered his talent. I am curious if Tillman wears a helmet and other protective gear when he is skateboarding outside.

Celestina Boesche, New Knoxville: Wow! I thought that was cool that the dog could skate. I wonder how he does it so fast. I wish I could have him as a pet. Maybe he could teach me how to skateboard because I have no idea.

Noah Henry, Meadowlawn: I think it was sad that kitten got stuck in the sewer & I also think the kitten could of got really hurt when it got stuck. I hope I never catch the
H1N1 virus because I would get really sick & I couldn't go to school. I think the artifacts they found in Iraq were very cool & really interesting to see all the old vases.

Macie Bing Meadowlawn Elementary I feel really bad for that kitten that got stuck on the Miami State highway. I also loved the dog on the skate board. I wish my dog could do that. I wonder how the guy taught the dog to do that. That’s funny the dog rides on the street with the skate board. That guy should get a cat to do that, it would be really cute and cool and funny!!!!

My name is Isaiah. I go to Rushwood Elementary and I think it was sad how those birds would have been dead if you guys wouldn’t have saved them even though some of them had died I think it was nice how you saved some.

Ashley Scott, New Knoxville: WOW! That is awesome that they found all of those artifacts! I would love to work there and find the artifacts. I can not believe that they found vases about 200bc and 200ad that is awesome! If I found that grave site I wound SCREAM if I found that skeleton! That would be SCARY!

Mariah Wittmer, Meadowlawn Intermediate School: The story about the seabirds was really interesting! It was very nice of all of the volunteers who came and helped wash the algae foam off of all those birds! I wish I could have been there to help out. I love to help animals and I also love volunteering. I think people need to make sure they look out for things like the foam algae on the shore so this doesn't happen again.
