How/Why: The police do not know why Daniel was beaten up.

Why I chose this article: I chose this article because i think that it is a good thing to know what's happening in other countries and when i read the article, it caught my attention because it didn't say much so i had to think really hard about what had happened to the 24 year old victim and think about how he died.

What: The Coquitlam Public Library is expected to open in March, a couple of months later than the original month but still on budget. The delays were caused by an outdated electrical system and the heater had to be changed. The renovation of the Poirier Branch is proceeding, with work crews on the job six days a week. The major construction activities are going to e finish at the end of the month. The city's budget fo the renovations is 3 million dollars.

When: The library will re-open in march and the major constructions will be finish by the end of the month. The library staff will be moving the book stacks and the office equipments by the beginning of February and the new books are coming in before September.

Who: Library director Ms. Rhian Pipprell touredthe facility last week and said that the new place is beginning to take shape. And library spokeperson Ms. Therese Mickelson and some member of the library staff did their best to loan out as many books as possible.

Where: The Coquitlam Public Library by Centenial Secondary School. Some people who wants to return books or other materials will have to go to the City Centre branch or at any public library in the area.

Why/How: They are renovating the place because, they want to turn the place into a reding and study are for students an adults to go to.

Why you chose this article: I chose this article because I feel strongly about how te city cares about the people's learning and how they wnt every single member of our community to feel safe everytime they go to the library. Plus, I am a big fun of reading and I lways got to the public library to read books.

**Current Event #2 **
What: A group of middle school students honoured living role models in a legacy project designed to increase pride in their Aboriginal culture amd heritage. Thirty Aboriginal students from Banting and Moody middle schools are collaboratively breating a book to highlight the people who inspired them. The project was ineguidance of an artist, George Littlechild. They created 22-by-30 inch potrate of their own role model. The best prostrait wll be digitally photographed to apear a longside written contributions from each student in a book called Inspired to Soar: Honouring Living Aboriginal Role odels 2009.

When: The article was publihed on Friday, March 27th. It didnt really say anything about when it hapened but i am guessng that it happened the week before the article was published.

Where: The article did not mension anything about where it happened. I think that it happened in Port Moody because I found the article in the Port Moody side of the newspaper.

Who: George Littlechild guided the students through out the whole event. Too bad Shelley Ricci, support worker for the SD43 Aboriginal education student services, who also guided 40 teens on the similar project last year, shifted the focus on living people to provide relevant sources of inspiration for the students to connect with. The students who represented their schools were also involved.

Why/Why: Students wanted to honour living role models and increase pride in the aboriginal culture and heritage. An to prove that rich andfamous people are not the only people who can be your role model. Lots of people who are not famous/rich can be your role model.

Why I chose this article: I chose this article because i thought that it's somethng that people need to recognize and some of my friend from Banting participated in this event.
