High Speed Chase!

     West  Batesville  Magnet  School  goes  on  lock  down,  due  to  a  high  speed  police  chase  to  arrest  Derrick  Hicks.  Hicks  started  sending  text  messages  to         a  woman,  who  is  employed  at  the  Batesville  humane  society,  telling  her  that  he  will  stop  by  to  get  money  from  her.  When  he  arrives  at  the  humane   society,  the  woman  calls  911  because  he  is  violating  his  protection  order  that  the  lady  has  on  him.  When  Hicks  realized  she  had  called  the  cops,  he   fled.  The  police  finally  caught  up  to  him  around  the  area  of  Batesville  West  Magnet.  They  advised  the  school  to  go  under  lock  down  just  in  case  this  man  would  enter  the  school  and  cause  many  other  problems.  So,  for  all  of  the  children's  safety  they  did  as  the  police  had  instructed  them  to  do.  Derrick  Hicks  drove  his  Dodge  pickup  truck  into  a  field  trying  to  escape  from  the  police.  The  police  arrested  him  a  couple  minutes  later  in  the  middle  of  the  field,  only  a  few  blocks  away  from  the  elementary  school.  Because  he  fled  when  the  police  had  showed  up  to  see  was  going  on,  he  is  under  investigative  hold.  He  was  also  charged  with  violation  of  his  protection  order  right  off  the  bat.  September  19  is  his  court  date  to  appear before  a  judge  so  he  can  answer  to  his  charges  that  have  been  made  by  the  police.

My Bucket List 2012-2013

1. 13 Reasons Why by: Jay Asher

My friend Savannah says the book is really good. I do not like to read that much at all so the story sounds very interesting. It may expand my point of view on some things. I think this book would be a good read. I do not think I will be able to put this book down.

2. Sea Change by: Amiee Friedman 

I found this book on Amazon, and after reading the description it seems I might enjoy reading this book. I hope I can really get into this book and enjoy reading it. I am interesting in the romance genre of book, so this could give a good start. 

3. Les Miserables by: Victor Hugo 

I have seen this play on Broadway and absolutely fell in love with it. The movie comes out on Christmas so if I read the book I can refresh my memory on the story line. I am hoping to see the play another time, but the books are sometimes different. I may learn more details than the movie or play does not reveal.

4. The Art of Hearing Heartbeats by: Jan-Phipp Sendker 

After reading the summary of this book, it has an interesting tone that could be an interesting read for me. Hopefully I will understand the book. I already found a connection from the summary to the eye catching title. There could be a true art to hearing heartbeats. I shall find out. 

5. The Bungalow by: Sarah Jio 

The Bungalow takes place at war. I am interested in reading about military love stories. I really like The Lucky One and Dear John by: Nicholas Sparks. So, I will probably enjoy reading this book. The Bungalow seems very interesting, and I hope I can get into it. 

6. Between the Lines by: Jodi Picoult
Sometimes I feel like a forever alone kind of person. So maybe I can relate to this book and be interested in it and read it all the way through and enjoy it while I read this book. Between the Lines may have a new discovery inside to me expand my mind a little bit.

7. Public Secrets by: Nora Roberts
Mysteries are interesting to me. Having romance thrown in there with may make it even better. I reallt like romance so I am trying to fill my mental bookshelf with I will hopefully read with interest. I hope to read this book soon.

8. The Giver by: Lois Lowery
This is not a romance book, but I am hoping to read some books with different kinds of things so I can expand my mind of reading. This book seems to be dealing with society and secrets of its past. It sounds good.

9. Love the One You're With by: Emily Giffin
After I read the summary of this book, I could tell I already had a connection with the main characterI had a boy breakup with recently for a reason he could not even give me. So hopefully I may get a new interesting point of view.

10. In the Presence of My Enemies by: Gracia Burnham
It seems like I do not like most people. So, I am hoping this book will give me hope about finding some good in everyone and not hold as many grudges. The enemies of mine and I do not get a long very well so maybe I can learn to be more tolerant.
