Short Answer:

1. What town in Colorado were two Round Rock girls safely found after a man kidnapped them? Page A1 "Girls safe: mom's roommate charged"

The two girls, from Round Rock were found safely in La Veta Colorado.

2. Look at the political cartoon on page A11 in the upper right hand corner by Tim Campbell from the Washington Post News Service. What is the meaning of the cartoon, in your opinion?

I think that the meaning of "you need a bigger more powerful button," is basically saying Trump needs something "bigger" or "more powerful to shut him up. And in they picture the button was closing his mouth.

3. Who are the four candidates for the City of Austin District 8 seat (whom most of your families are represented by)? Page B3 "4th candidate joins Austin's..."

The four candidates for District 8 in Austin are Bobby Levinski, Ellen Troxclair, Rich De Palma, and Shane Sexton.

4. How many Bowie volleyball players were honored by District 14-6A with a place on the All-District team? List their names - page C5 "2017 All-District Volleyball Honorees"

There were 5 Bowie volleyball players that were honored. There names were Sabrina Blanco, Avery McKezie, Catlin Godwin, Kandace Blackburn, Kyndal Johnson.

5. Which of the four items on page SA3 would you be interested in owning and WHY? Page SA3 "Four of the best bits of sports and outdoor tech"

I would defiantly be interested in GoPro Hero6, because I've always wanted a GoPro, because I think it would just be able to get so many cool shots that a DSLR camera just couldn't.

Long Response:
The past few days much of the political conversation in the United States has been centered around a book debuting today about President Donald Trump written by Michael Wolff. Read the story on page A1 "Trump's Lawyer demands halt to new tell-all book" and then answer the following questions:

The book title is Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House. Trump doesn't wants the book sales to be halted because it includes false statements and doesn't want himself to look bad. Saying whether Trump has the right or not is hard, because people should be able to state their views whether someone else likes them or not. The book is different from a newspaper because its something that's a little more permanent. The book author should have to follow the same rules as any other book author, not a newspaper writer because that's not what 
he's doing. Publishing it he had to know that its not like there would be no repercussions from the president. So, you kinda have to give him credit because he is sticking with his gut. I would probably read it if I had the opportunity because I think I would find it interesting. I don't think so but if anyone did it would be my dad.
