Love and Hate in District 12
- Patrick Dolson

Earlier today a young man named Gale, a close friend of district 12’s female tribute Katniss Everdeen was enraged when he heard that the male tribute Peeta Mellark had an affair with her. The boy was watching the event with the girl’s family at her home this morning and was shocked to hear what Peeta Mellark had to say about the girl who went with him to the Capitol.

     After the interview the boy out of rage was found in the local pharmacy smashing and damaging the goods and was taken into custody at the local Justice Building. Local authorities discovered traces of dirt and fence scratches on his jacket indicating that he was secretly crossing the electric fence into the woods. The boy while in custody exclaimed “I hope that baker boy gets killed first.”

     The young man was then taken to court and charged with damages to the pharmacy and trespassing into a restricted area. The boy has nothing now but his anger and the hopes that Katniss will return instead of Peeta.

Who Killed Audrey Gleaves

There was no immediate family at the memorial service for Audrey Gleave. She had none.
Former students and friends posted loving comments about her on the funeral home website. She was an original; brilliant, funny, eccentric.
She could also be a polarizing figure as a teacher. Former student Steve Mihalich, who was in her physics class in the mid-'70s at Barton Secondary School, said she was a tough marker and especially severe with male students. He said her expectations were high — higher than her students were able to achieve.
“It's so sad what happened to her,” he said. “You never imagine that someone you knew in your past would have their life end that way.”
Allan Gleave did not make the trip from where he lived up north to attend the service. Audrey's ex-husband had heard it was a private affair and wasn't sure he'd be welcome. And he wasn't keen on tackling the winter roads.
