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

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."

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.
