1) William S. Hart High School Upon reading this article I didn't think there was anything I could possibly change about my high school, until I realized that under the sports section no one had posted that just recently, last Thursday, Hart Boys for track won the league title for the first time since the year 2000. As proof I also wished to add this article from our local newspaper for further confirmation.

2) Santa Clarita Valley Though I only moved to the Santa Clarita Valley only 5 years ago, I quickly learned about it's rich history and just about everything there was to know about the valley. The one thing I found wrong with this article is that underneath the bicycle and walking article it does not state the the first paseo was put along the section of the Santa Clara river, located next to the San Fernando Road, in 1995 which is stated on the beginning of the trail. Today that paseo has become known as "Southfork Trail" by many of the locals. Trust me on this one I ran on the trail everyday of summer this past summer.

3) Six Flags Magic MountainLuckily for me I literally only live about 5 minutes from Six Flags, and if someone really wanted to, they could actually walk there from my house. What I noticed however in the section about past roller coasters they mentioned that the ride Flashback was closed and sold as scrap, but never gave a reason why. Well, the reason for the roller coaster being closed was that when the water park, Hurricane Harbor, opened its doors there was a kiddy pool located right next to Flashback. As Flashback was running it was very loud and lifeguards could not hear if children were screaming or anything. So the administration of the park decided to close the attraction during the day and then open it at night, but eventually due to it's age they decided to close it permanently. My source for this was actually the General Manager for Magic Mountain in Santa Clarita, Tim Burkhart, his daughter is a good friend of mine and went to high school with me.

4) Taranto, Italy Many of you, like myself, may have never set foot in the beautiful country of Italy, also known as  bel paese. What many of you may not also know is that the city of Taranto, Italy is home to the 3rd largest Military port on the Mediterranean Sea. It is also home to the largest sea mussel growing facility in all of Italy. I went straight to the source for this and asked the person who would know this city the best, my Italian roommate, who originates from this city.

5) Jogging I'm sure at one point or another one of us has had to take a P.E. class and run the mile or jog it depending on what you could do. Well jogging was actually not introduced to the United States as a form of exercise, until 1962. Before that, no one really knew that it was socially acceptable to throw on shorts and go outside to run. It was actually brought over by former Oregon Track Coach Bill Bowerman after a trip to New Zealand. This article did not contain this information so I decided that I would add it to this jogging section. However, the facts about jogging could be found here

William S. Hart High School-Newhall, CA Wikipedia 2
I would like to add the section  Race Riot  because I believe that this event that happened at my high school should be one that is never forgotten. I strongly believe that this event lead Hart to become even more unified than ever before and with the adoption of the zero hour program at school, it will only be a matter of time before there is no hatred at school. This [website] is for the Zero Hour program started at my school after the riots. Its goal is to incorporate human relations throughout a campus and increase awareness about different cultures that many may already have predetermined stereotypes. It is a great program and more can be learned about the program on the website.
