The SV Times - Special Edition - Gnus from Home

Near tragedy struck the Kane family home late yesterday. A fire started in one of the boy's bedrooms in the upper story of their lovely two story home.

Meredith Kane had been working on a new painting in the next room. It took her some time to realize that there was a problem.

"Well," said the distraught Meredith. "I had been finishing a new painting while I was waiting to be called to for a new ghost hunting job around town. I was using a new paint called 'Fire Red'. I just thought they decided to try scenting the paint."

"You hadn't noticed the temperature rising in the room?"

"Well, because I'm a ghost hunter, I'm really attuned to dropping temperatures. That's when you know the ghost is near. Rising temperatures don't mean as much."

By the time Meredith then Jebidiah Kane had noticed the problem, the blaze was quite out of control. It burned higher and higher and engulfed much of one side of the room.

Finally the fire department arrived while Meredith and Jebidiah Kane worried over how much damage the fire would ultimately cause.

"We'll have to have some contractors in to check the integrity of the room," said Jeb Kane. "There's been some damage to the floor and the ceiling. We'll have to be certain that it's safe."

The fire chief was unable to comment on the source of the blaze. "We'll need to interview the boys, see if they know anything. I've heard that the younger one is a bit of an inventor, a few sparks caused by carelessness could have set this off. But we haven't ruled out arson at this point in time."

As evening fell, things became more normal for the family. Meredith was called by the police chief to remove some invading spirits.

"My man are trained to many sorts of danger. But few of them dare face ghosts and spirits. I called Meredith once it was confirmed that we had spooks of the non-corporeal kind."

"How did the removal go?"

"Meredith had to spend half the night but my men will feel perfectly safe in the station tomorrow. The police force must thank our local ghost hunter for her help."

Also Macy Lee announced that the science lab has engaged Jebidiah Kane as a special consultant.

"The Science Lab is pleased that Jeb Kane has agreed to act as an additional security consultant. We can confirm that he has some unique skills in this area."

"His first task will be to make the offices of The SV Times more secure. We tracked the problem with the one edition to a hacker who should not have had access to the newspaper network. I have every confidence that Mr Kane can prevent any more hackers from gaining access."

"Connor Frio agreed to pay extra?"

"Connor has been forced to admit that his network isn't secure enough. He has agree to pay for Jeb's time to properly secure the network."

The SV Times - All Gnus You Gneeds

News in the City
by Connor Frio

Sunset Valley mourns the passing of another of our leading citizens, Mrs Nancy Landgraab. The Landgraab family has been a backbone of our community for over a century. The family has a strong traditions with the name, the marriage partner of the heir must agree to taking the Landgraab name. Geoffrey Landgraab was no exception to this rule.

Nancy is survived by her husband Geoffrey, their sons Malcolm and Brendon and a granddaughter Destiny. Geoffrey is in deep shock and was unable to respond to our requests for comments.

This reporter did eventually corner Malcolm Landgraab.

"We are very stunned by the passing of my mom. No one really expected that her time had come. Yes, we knew she was old but she hadn't slowed down in the least."

"That doesn't seem to be your only news."

"True. We recently realized that Bella was pregnant for the second time. Then at the last prenatal checkup, the doctors told us to  expect twins, maybe even triplets. I'm hoping that the shock of having two or three babies doesn't kill dad."

After the great success of the Day in the Park series of events, the city decided to try a Night at the Cemetery. This did not prove terribly successful, Macy Lee brought one of her sons.

And Christi Clayton brought a friend.

Not even the resident ghosts could be bothered to stir themselves up. It was a very dead night, in every possible respect.


Relationships in the city
by Star Matlock

One of our town juvenile deliquents,  Ernie Leman wasn't making a good impression on Jane Bachelor.
Jane later was heard to say, "That little punk thinks he can get away with insulting my fashion sense. And yet, look at that vest. Way over the top with that ginger hair of his."

Childhood friends Bradley Kane and Annabelle Grant met up at the park to celebrate going to a new school. This week sees the old friends starting high school for the first time.

Sunset Valley Chess Tournaments
By Autumn Portobella

Mrs Trina Sword decided to start her climb up the tournament ladder. Her first challenge was to defeat Tyler Townsend. Mr Townsend has been our lowest ranking tournament player for some time. He prefers building muscles for his job in the Team instead of building brain power.

Mrs Sword defeated Mr Tyler in a game that lasted less than an hour.

"Trina is a fine player. I underestimated how much she'd want my spot on the tournament ladder."

Trina then challenged our next ranked player, Ms Rena Goth. While this match lasted a little over two hours, in the end Trina triumphed over Rena.

"I'll want a rematch of course. But Trina is a very good opponent, her strategic placement of the bishops wasn't obvious at first."


Cyclone's blog
by Cycl0n3 Sw0rd

We've been looking forward to the big day for ages now. Our second child is finally on his or her way.

We ran over to the hospital. It's so close that the taxi would take longer to arrive than just going.

A few hours later and Trina gave birth to our son Rock Sw0rd. Mother and baby were released from the hospital and are doing well at home.
