Leads

By Lyndsay Rowley

Story One - 

A peaceful drive through the countryside interrupted by the sight of pack of lions attacking a herd of cattle.  

This could be a reality for americans if some ecologists and biologists get their way in relocating African Wildlife to the Great Plains of North America. 

Story Two –

Trembling with fear in her car seat, a baby girl stares at the unrecognizable man recklessly driving the car that her mother did just minutes ago.  

“My baby’s in the baby’s in the back seat,” a mother’s voice screams out as she watches a criminal drive off with her child strapped down inside. 

Story Three –

The screeching tires, the metal smashing, and the glass is shattering.  Five hearts beat no more due to the impatience of a driver that simply had to make a call.

For years State Representative Wei has been fighting against the use of cell phones in cars, and now he finds himself with blood on his hands due to the fact that that he was breaking the law he hoped to pass.

Story Four – 

Every child looks forward to the holiday three day weekends, but for one school district every weekend could be a holiday.  

High Point’s school district is possibly changing to a four day school week due to problems with their budget.

Story Five – 

An old man smiling and laughing as he gives the children of the neighborhood candy and fruit, while he sits on the porch of the house he has lived in for more than 60 years.  Rust gathers on the garage that holds an ancient green impala.  No one would have guessed that this man was sitting on a fortune.

“It just goes to show that you never really know your neighbors,” says a former neighor.    

Story Six –

Most mothers drive their children to school to drop them off for a day of knowledge, however; for one mother she will be driving to school to gain that same knowledge as her daughter.  

“Perhaps you will learn something about the importance of your daughters education,” the judge stated as he slammed the gavel to send the mother to her kindergarten doom.
