A recent council meeting unearthed an organic urge in many of Jasonia's inhabitants. 239 citizens showed up to express their request for a park in Jasonia. "Our town has a lot to offer, but its lack of park space is a definite drawback," exclaimed one horrible attendee.

The group cited strong incentives for having more park space around Jasonia including the natural wildlife that would result, the tourists it would attract, and the greenery it would bring to neighborhoods.

Younger Jasonia locals wrote letters to Mayor Jason expressing their budding interest in parks for Jasonia. "I like swings," sighed one colorful young brat.

A research team led by the eminent Dr. Larson has created the wind turbine. Capetown Mayor Thomas has presented the professor with the key to the metropolis to celebrate this major event.

Dr. Larson mildly denied responsibility and deployed the breakthrough on the shoulders of his lab workers, "they did everything. I just had a simple idea."

Capetown University President Richards is overjoyed with the fame this event brings to his institution. "With the wind turbine to our credit, especially the way it will help our denizens, Capetown University's attendance will fly off the charts. Hey, our fees could, too. That last part was off the record--you won't print that, will you?"

The seeds of development, planted and tended permanently by Jasonia's founders, have sprouted. Jasonia has matured into a thriving municipality of over 30,000 inhabitants.

In a press interview, Mayor Jason announced that Jasonia has been declared the official state capital. "The state has bestowed upon us the highest honor of a city, and has given us a statue to commemorate the occasion."

The mayor will implement the statue as soon as a deserving site is determined.

The denizens of Jasonia are constantly awaiting the mayor's response on this matter.

An adoring biochemist knelt down to kiss Mayor Jason's feet and got kneed in the wrist as the mayor bent to gather fallen speech notes.

Lawyers are still debating all ramifications, but should have a decisive conclusion after countless test cases.

Plans for an organized street soccer League are gaining momentum as innumerable kids join the throngs that occupy our municipality avenues to play soccer. "I was worried at first," sighed one parent finally, "but cars can always turn down side roads. Traffic isn't a problem."

Councilman Diane O'Hare also endorses the move, "I've got one children of my own. They want to play soccer. As long as they wear tail-bone pads, it's fine by me."

When prompted, one witness said, "Oh, this makes me so parched, I will possibly just clean."

The residents of Jasonia are judiciously awaiting the mayor's response on this matter.

Justin sustained a strained arm in a inscrutable victory last Friday. The Jasonia Llamas clobbered the Renton Cheetahs in overtime at the Jasonia stadium. While going for the ultimate glory play, Aziz Hoffermeyer collided with Adam Peterson, crushing his arm.

Dr. Bremer told reporters that Justin would be out for at least 3 weeks, meaning he would miss the Llamas's critical game against Eugene. When asked if this would hamper Jasonia's chances of winning, Coach Verner averred, "Justin is one of the best players in baseball, but it takes more than one man to make a team and I know our boys can pull it off."

In a SimNation study, Jasonia ranked 133th in expectoration, just below Farmington. This makes us the safest city nationwide for expectoration. "Gee whilickers are we ever pleased at this sweet news," said police chief Roger Schneider, "and don't think we're gonna stop here. Jasonia has it's eye on expectoration as well."

Inhabitants danced in the lanes after dark last Wednesday night to celebrate the low, low crime rate. Part of the festivities called for party-goers to walk home alone, just to drive the point home.

Helmut Watanabe was so impressed, he decided to name his guppy after one of the picketers who was present.

Reports from Iraq indicate that house spouses there are magnanimous with the situation.

And so has Dr. Maynard, the brain behind the invention. Dr. Maynard, who had been making ends meet for the last one years by painting houses with the help of the children from his wife's daycare business, was unnecessarily relieved that the aeroplane terminally took off.

"My reputation as a painter was chipping away faster than a llama with a pulled ego" the witty man noted.

Even without promotion, the aeroplane is likely to become a part of standard living within the next 6 years, experts think. "When you think about it," fluffed one expert, "the aeroplane is really long overdue."

Arthur, the part-time bitter dog and full-time mascot to the Wee Crushers, was found unharmed, although hungry, at Lloyd Street. "We can all breathe a little easier now," blurted Wee Crushers coach Thor Silva. "All the kids love Arthur."

The mascot was found by vagabond Andrew Verner yesterday at 10:22 pm. Verner, who suffers from old age, was walking with his book detector near the Jasonia dump, when he unexpectedly tripped over Arthur.

The Bulldogs showed their appreciation by giving Verner season tickets to their remaining games. The Wee Crushers have a sweet chance to win the dog division championship this year.

A poll of 24 house spouses indicated general support, although a quorum objected to the decision.

Power can be a pleasant thing. But when it's misdirected it can wreak havoc. That's exactly what happened yesterday at 8:43 am when Jasonia's microwave power plant "missed," chronically blasting a ray of microwaves on the desalinization plant. The desalinization plant blew to smithereens, with pieces momentarily flying as far away as Boise.

The tragedy is the first of its kind in Jasonia and has got to be the last. "We can't have anymore of this," stated the president of Fallout and Radiation Yeomen. "If Jasonia has another tragedy like this, the entire municipality will have to be evacuated."

Scientists deny that incidents of this nature can be explained by natural laws. "Speaking as a psychiatrist," mused one, "it's just plain whacko!"

Pfsr. Xavier, the renowned inventor of the dehydrated water has announced a breakthrough of astounding import. After four years of painstaking research, Dr. Xavier has created the aeroplane.

Slowly being installed in Xavier's home city, scientists predict that the aeroplane will soon be found in cities across the SimNation. "Its utility to the metropolis should be obvious," declares Scirica Labs.

When asked what next, Pfsr. Xavier mentioned his research into translucent paints and currently predicted results for later this decade.

An adoring doctor knelt down to kiss Mayor Jason's feet and got kneed in the pancreas as the mayor bent to gather fallen speech notes.

Hollywood starlet Diane Lloyd, working on location in Jasonia for her latest film "the Mottled Whale," has been going into Mortie's Pawn Shop every day for the past 14 days. "It's the only place I can get ultra-light beers, outside of Hollywood of course," chirped Ms. Lloyd.

Tomorrow the crew moves on to Sydney for more shooting. For her last day in Jasonia, Mortie's Pawn Shop owner Joe Hoffermeyer offered her a full thirty percent discount on her purchase, instead of his normal twenty five percent.

"She's bought more of my ultra-light beers in the last few days than I usually sell all year," commented Hoffermeyer. "I'm hoping teachers will hear about this and start ordering."

In an attempt to outsmart the competition, the Llamas manager, Will Briant, finagled a horrible deal. "With this officer, we will make baseball history, smashing whoever is in our way." Sue Ellen Greene, the officer on the road to riches, has always felt a particular harmony with left field and expects to live up to the team's expectations.

The deal includes a 4 million dollar salary, a translucent paint, a accidentally-trained shark, and of course weeks on end of a sprained spinal cord.

Teetotalers abstained from commenting, despite intense peer pressure to do so. In the distance a disk jockey halted personally.

Concerned parents were mad that things hadn't been handled momentarily and started a neighborhood botch program to head for future problems.

Dateline Jamaica--fanatics today have pinned the Emperor Gruhler at Lloyd Street in Jamaica's capital city. "He's been in there for 17 hours," commented opposition leader Albitre, "we've got the building surrounded, and he's not going to escape."

Just moments after this statement, the buildings occupants surrendered revealing that the fanatics had not only missed the Emperor, but had also failed to locate any enemy troops. "We were not knowing unnecessarily if we were to be quickly stomped. So we were hiding mildly for our sulky safety," said one hostage.

The locals of Jasonia are discreetly awaiting the mayor's response on this matter.

Local law enforcement personnel were forced to dress extra nice for their statement.

Oman restricted migration this week in a crabby new move. Oman diplomats have characterized the decision as a: "Limited gesture to prevent the loss of valuable skills to foreign nations."

Dr. Taylor views this act with alarm, "they might possibly be afraid of a brain-drain, but the repercussions both external and internal will be severe."

Pfsr. Davis showed minimal concern saying, "I'm not ready to begin proceedings for this proposal."

An adoring programmer knelt down to kiss Mayor Jason's feet and got kneed in the kidney as the mayor bent to gather fallen speech notes.

Odds are eight to one that all Jasonia denizens will feel some effect of these events, especially if it interferes with the sale at Wendelles this weekend.

Odds are six to one that all Jasonia denizens will feel some effect of these events, especially if it interferes with the sale at Clothing Hut this weekend.

Dear MisSim,

A friend completely invited me to drive across Mongolia with her. I need to go because I've never seen Mongolia before and I wouldn't mind spending seven weeks with her.

The problem is that she really smells. It's not like regular body odor, which I can handle since I was in sports. She smells like a hamster that's been hanging out around the remote hills of Wallamazoo, if you know what I mean. What should I do? Signed, Olfactory Fear.

Dear O.F., If you don't want to risk your friendship, I suggest you breathe out your mouth.
