My most memorable moment this year at MMS would be when we played SMS in the capital classics championship in the number 1 bracket and we were down by 1 point with 15 seconds left before the game was over and i brought the ball up the court and i crossed over and jumped up and shot a short mid range jumper from the free throw line and i made it and we were winning by one point with 10 seconds left and SMS through a long deep pass and it went out of bounds and it was our ball with only 2 seconds left and we won the game 34-35 that game was the best game i have ever played. i also won the MVP trophy.

NATURAL DISASTERS STRIKE
This
year 2014 there was a chemical spill that leaked into the water supply
in Charleston west Virginia it contaminated the water supply January 9
,2014. About 7.500 gallons of chemical called MCHM leaked out of a small
hole in the steel tank . This tank belonged to the freedom industries.
In 1919 a massive explosion spill caused major damage to the Boston
town. The molasses flood was very similar because of the the both caused
problems for the environment.
The first sign of trouble what a strange smell coming from sinks and
showers. MCHM is used in processing coal. West Virginia officials
quickly ordered a water use ban across the affected areas.
The
first sign of the molasses flood of 1919 was the sound of the massive
tank going rat rat tat tat then boom sounds of screws flying everywhere
this flood killed 21 people in Boston on this day. cleaning up this mess
was awfulweeks after the accident you could still smell the molasses
in the air.
In
west Virginia there are underground chemicals storage regulations for
above ground storage are less strict. little is known about the effects
of MCHM on the human body. Many people consider that the federal law on
chemical safety which is 37 years old is dangerously outdated.Bringing
in a huge storage tank filled with molasses was a great danger for the
environment at times people would become nervous for the safety of the
town because of the sounds and creaks the tank would make during the
day.

sharks
Extinction of sharks
These
animals may be scary, ferocious beasts but they still need love and
help so the can keep their population alive and everyone can help us
save the great beautiful amazing sharks. Lets all get together and save
one of the most oldest, beloved and beautiful creatures in the sea.
Sharks
are being slaughtered and eaten only for their fins . They cut the fins
off of the sharks and sometimes the leave the wounded shark in the
ocean. Without its fin sharks sink to the bottom of the ocean they sit
there until they die of starvation.
The
creature that is killing these magnificent creatures they don’t have
sharp teeth or strangling tentacles. This creature doesn’t even live in
the sea. The creature killing the sharks is the human race. Humans have
been killing sharks for thousands of years. Now all of the shark
killings are beginning to add up the shark population is having a major
decrease. in the 1800’s Americans relied on oil from the sharks liver to
waterproof their boats. Native Americans prized the the teeth of sharks
(bull,tiger sharks) When the Chinese wealth increased the demand of
shark fin soup has increased.
Sharks
are some of the earths oldest creatures they were know to be around
when dinosaurs like the T-rex (tyrannosaurus rex) were roaring over the
great plains. Killing this sharks will cause an economic crisis. This
will happen because if the shark population is decreased then the sharks
prey will grow larger,and if the sharks prey increases then the preys
food will decrease in population. An example is the bull shark dies then
the cownose ray population will increase cownose rays eat scallops
along the North Carolina Coast, and then the scallops are all gone so
most of the people and the fisherman that need/live their lives and jobs
depend on them they will be out of luck.
There
is still hope to save the sharks because the demand of shark fin soup
is decreasing in china. This due to all of the protest and rallies they
are having in the world. Even celebrities are beginning to help out NBA
retired superstar Yao Ming who is a great athlete he’s 7ft 2 inches tall
and a great player. Also famous movie star Jackie chan a chinese male
are helping by giving speeches at the rallies and giving the group money
to help save these beautiful creatures of the sea. Maybe with all the
help from around the world we can make a change and save the beautiful
creatures of the deep blue see.
