Paridise

My grandma's house is very open. She lives at McNary Estates in a 4 bed, 3 bath house. Her kitchen is my favorite part of the house. Its about a 16x12 ft. spread with an island stove in the middle. It has a big fridge and a huge pantry in the corner. There are granite finished counters and fancy dangly lights. It reeks of amazingly great Mexican food.

Chewy

Chewy skates, plays ball, video games, says dog a lot and drives a red truck.
He's chill, pretty laid back. Doesn't talk much, kinda quiet. Funny and weird.

Sue Monk Kidd

Sue Monk Kidd was born and raised in the tiny town of Sylvester, Georgia. She discovered her desired to become a writer when she was a young child. She went to college at Texas Christian University and majored in nursing in the 1970's. She married Sandford and had two children, Bob and Ann.

Civil Rights Movment

In 1948 President Truman signed an order with it saying "It is hereby declared to be the policy of the President that there shall be equality of treatment and opportunity for all persons in the armed services without regard to race, color, religion, or national origin." He basically started the freedom to all of the U.S. In 1955 a girl by the name of Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat at the front of the "colored section" of a bus to a white passenger. In 1960 four protesters sat at a diner and were not aloud to order anything. Within six months they had changed the way of the diner, swimming pools, theaters, libraries, and other public facilities.

S.C.

South Carolina is on the east coast about 3 states up from Florida. There are few historical marks of this state like in the 1960 The Civil Rights laws ended segregation and protected voting rights of African Americans and other minorities. I've been here before and lived there for a month or so and it's a cool state. The water was cold and the ocean was on the other side but other than that it's not much different from here.

Into The Future We Go

Hi my name is Andrew Bautista and i'm 38 years old. I live Jamaica in Bob's old house with a son and wife. I have my own business and spend my free time teaching the young'uns how to skate and surf. We have a beater car but it runs.

I believe in the best sport in the world, skateboarding! Skating has always been my favorite thing to do since I was a shrimp.

I started at about six to seven years of age and couldn't ever put it down. My dad taught me down in San Diego when we lived there and we would always skate down to the beach and back. I remember when my dad and I decided to race down a hill, it was all bad. We both had gotten the wobbles and collided into each other, rolled a few times and ended up in a ditch. Everything was fine though. We gimped home and passed out.

It was New Years 2005. My two friends, mom, and I were going to the new indoor Vans Skatepark and we wanted to stop by the Gardnerville Park to warm up. I tried to boot over an eight foot table and came up short. I stepped down and compound fractured my ankle. I had six screws, two plates, and three surgeries. I was unable to skate for a year and a half. In the end though, I think it's good to fall every once in a while. You never want to break any bones, but you learn from your mistakes. Skating is almost my life.

I will always believe in skating until the day I die. This is a very good sport and a good stress reliever. If I were to ever have kids i hope that I could be there for them like my papas was for me.

The "WORD" On Salem

There are many things about Salem that are lame on many levels. There are way too many people on the roads, no jobs, and its constantly raining one day or another. But the days in the summer are awesome! There's camping, the beach, skating, watching chicks in there fresh bikini's... haha. That's about it though...

Hitchin' Trip

About 4 weeks before I started school here my friend Greg and I hitched down to Tahoe and stayed there for a couple weeks. We started in Salem and made it down to Sac. Town in a day, with 3 rides. Went to Carson City where my brother and dad lives and stayed there for a few days. Hit up the best skate park in NV. We left heading back to Salem and made it to Eugene at about 9:30 and couldn't get back home. We sat in the rain for 2 hours flying a sign, trying to get home. Finally we made at 2:30 in the morning. Good trip, lots of fun!

No Laws

If there were no laws in our country, there would be anarchy. I hate the laws that we have, and the laws that we don't, but if there were none to follow I think things would be hectic. There would be more crime and many more murders.

Barbie Dolls

I believe Barbie dolls are lame. Most kids play with action figures, not dolls. Barbie dolls are like the little Ken and Barbie dolls that all the young kids want to throw. No thank you... So there for I don't like dolls...
