When the accident first happened, Austin was playing outside his mother's book store. The young woman was then hit and thrown off her bicycle and ended up laying on the curb and had received minor injuries to her head. Austin calmly ran into his mother's shop while she was in the back, and called 9-1-1. The boy told the operator that a girl had been hurt and that they needed to get to Book's Galore on Taint Street very fast!

The ambulance has said that if she had of been there for four more minutes, the injury to her head could have caused long term damage. Thank's to Austin for calling 9-1-1 right away and knowing exactly what to do and how to stay calm, he saved the woman's life.

Local new's interviewed the young boy and asked him how he stayed so calm and knew what to do in that situation, to which Austin replied "I knew I needed to help her because I know I would want someone to help me and I wanted to be someone's super hero! My mommy taught me to always help other's and that if anyone got hurt to call 9-1-1."

The local woman is now on her road to recovery and is doing much better. She is thankful to Austin and his mother for teaching him what to do in that situation, she also told local new's that Austin definitely is her little super hero!

The article "Potent Pot: How marijuana got so strong and what it means for legalization" by Brent Bambury was posted on Friday, November 14, 2014. The article is about the difference between marijuana 30 years ago and now. Marijuana grown today is 300 to 400 percent more stronger than it was. This is a problem because its affecting the brain and changing the shape, and also effecting the grey matter in our brain. The lead is very effective because marijuana is very controversial and also many people use it. This is interesting and eye catching because many people are either for or against marijuana and this is bringing up the issue that it may not be legalized due to its effects. Lesley Campbell a biologist at Ryerson Univsersity who is studying marijuana growing conditions says "It seems as if there is a long term consequence to habitual use by teenagers. When we talk about teenagers we forget that brains develop in humans up until at least 24-years-old so that developmental stage can be quite broad and should include more young people than just teenagers" In this article the most eye catching information was put first, because its talking about how big of a difference there is today compared to years ago, and the rest of the article is talking about how controversial it is for them to legalize it when they know the long term effects. I think this articles ending was a bit boring because its just a quote of what someone had to say about how if they do legalize marijuana they will lessen the potency and also talking about how some strains do not even effect you what so ever. I think they could of ending it in a better way.
