Accident in Little Lemming! (Part 1)
There was an accident in Little Lemming over the weekend. Stan Harvest, a harvest mouse, was water skiing there.
On Paw-Print Lake, which is surrounded by Little Lemming, a third of the lake is roped off for fishermice. No boats (other than the fishing boats) may enter. Water-skiing is very popular on the lakes of Hamstington and the season started in March. Water skiers are pulled along by tread boats.
Stan Harvest was water skiing, when the boat driver went into the fishermouse area. The boat got tangled in the fishnets and was stuck. The cable holding Stan to the tread boat snapped and Stan went skidding over the water. Straight into one of the wood posts holding the fishing nets. Stan broke his leg and being unable to swim was pulled aboard by the captain of the tread boat. The captain, Jerry Fisher, quickly called the Pink Aid rescue team. They quickly flew Stan to the nearby hospital. Unfortunately, there were a couple minutes of panic while the flamingoes searched for the emergency entrance. The hospital is still being built and what would be the normal emergency landing pad was currently being built. Pink Aid is annoyed that they haven’t received the blueprint of the hospital yet.
Part 2 is coming on April 2!

Accident in Little Lemming! (Part 2)
After Pink Aid safely landed outside the Little Lemming hospital. The flamingos of Pink Aid hurried him into the check-up room where the x-ray machine was. Fortunately, the x-ray machine had arrived just that morning and was still unpacked. Justin Williamson, the head of the Little Lemming Pink Aid team was a former radiologist and knew how to use a x-ray machine.
The team was able to set up the x-ray machine in under 30 minutes. The x-rays showed that Stan’s left leg was badly broken and his left foot had a bad cut. Another member of Pink Aid was able to treat the cut. While, Justin took care of the broken leg.
Unfortunately, the Little Lemming hospital isn’t officially open and the paint in the room was still drying. The hospital is also currently understaffed, so the four other members of Pink Aid who are all nurses had to set up a bed somewhere. The only room where the paint had dried was the director of the hospital, Alex Coat, office. Stan will be in the hospital for the next 3 days until he can return home.

Reporter: When is the next mayor election?
Pete Meerkat: It’s in May 2022.
Reporter: What would you improve in Hamsterville?

Royal Ball: Castle Gloria
The Royal Family of Hamstington hosted a 3 day royal ball this last week. The balls were on April 3, 4, and 5! Our reporter, Daisy Raccoon, was at the event.
Over 17,000 rodents attended the balls. The ball was supposed to be held in Castle Gloria’s grand ballroom, however, the event had to be moved out to the garden.
On the first night, the ball started around 8:00pm, it was still light out, and lasted until around 2:30am.
The next day there was morning breakfast outside and the Royal Bakery started 2 hour classes. Daisy Raccoon attended one of the classes.
There were 200 rodents that had signed up for the baking classes. The 15 bakers running the event divided the rodents up into 2 groups. According to if the rodents wanted to learn about sweet or savory baking. Daisy was in the sweet group.
Since the classes were only 2 hours long, the bakers had picked 3 fairly easy recipes. The bakers had also divided into two groups. 7 were with the savory group, and 7 with the sweet group. The head chef, Lulu Lemur, was in charge of supervising all the bakers and students. The sweet group baked chocolate sugar cookies, an apple cake, and scones.
That night there was another garden party, this ball had the theme of autumn. Rodents had to have some element of fall/autumn on their costumes. The ball was also slightly shorter, it started around 7:00pm. Then at 8:30pm dinner was served, and by 9:40 the rodents were back to dancing. The ball ended at midnight.
The cooks had planned another garden breakfast outside, but that was cancelled due to the fact that it was pouring. The day’s activities were also cancelled, but rodents could visit the Royal Library or tour the castle.
The last night of the ball was the costume party, it was held inside because it was still raining. This ball went from 9:00pm - 5:00am.
All rodents had driven, taken the train or bus home by 11:30am.

Interview: Abigail Robin
Today we interview Abigail Robin, another candidate for Hamsterville mayor. To see the first candidates interview, Pete Meerkat, see April 5.
Reporter: Hi, Abigail! Why did you decide to run for Hamsterville mayor?
Abigail Robin: I live in Hamsterville and I’ve not been happy with the last 5 mayors we’ve had. They always seem to ignore crucial problems.
Reporter: What issues would you look at, if you were elected mayor?
Abigail Robin: (pulling out checklist)
Some roads on the outskirts of Hamsterville are in bad need of repair. Just because they aren’t used as often as Main Street does not mean we should ignore them!
The average cost of using the streetcars is too high. That’s one reason that rodents tend to prefer the use of buses. However, the streetcars are part of Hamsterville’s history.
Reporter: Let me interrupt! What is your opinion on the current mayor of Hamsterville, Leopard Grey?
Abigail Robin: Let’s just say, I’m not part of his fan club.
Reporter: One more question, what do you think of Pete Meerkat, another mayor candidate?
Abigail Robin: I think he could become a good mayor. One thing I think is important about whoever becomes the mayor is that they’ve lived in Hamsterville. I think it's important that they know something about the city they are running.
Reporter: Thanks for this interview. Good luck!

Interview: Jessie Bluebil
Today we interview our third mayor candidate: Jessie Bluebil! Jessie Bluebill is a duck from Lake of Hope who has been living in Hamsterville for the past three years.
Reporter: Good morning, Ms. Bluebil! Could you please tell us a bit about yourself?
Jessie Bluebil: I was born and lived for the most part in Lake of Hope. Since 2018 I’ve lived in Hamsterville. I’m a nurse.
Reporter: How did you end up as a candidate for mayor?
Jessie Bluebil: I’m not sure actually, I began to notice little things that I thought needed to change around Hamsterville. I wasn’t able to find an organization that I could talk to, so I thought that becoming mayor would be a way to change those things.
Reporter: What kinds of things would you change?
Jessie Bluebil: One thing that I find very important is that most trees on public spaces don’t get necessary trimmings. I’ve witnessed almost half of the trees in the park where I live get cut down because they had gotten too tall.
Another issue is that rodents aren’t really aware that there are coral reefs along the coast. Because they don’t know, they do things that destroy the reefs. Like driving motorboats in the area.
That’s another issue: motorboats!
Reporter: Wow! I’m sure the environment would benefit if you became mayor!😃 Final question, how likely are you, to want, to serve more than one term?
Jessie Bluebil: Well, one term is two years. I think, maybe two, but not three.
Reporter: Thank you for this interview, Ms. Bluebil!

Interview: Freddy Raccoon
Freddy Raccoon is the fourth Hamsterville mayor candidate that we are interviewing!
Reporter: Good afternoon, Freddy! How are you?
Freddy Raccoon: I’m good, how are you?
Reporter: Ok. What inspired you to run for Hamsterville mayor?
Freddy Raccoon: It seems like an interesting job, and you get to meet a ton of new rodents!
Reporter: Are you from Hamsterville?
Freddy Raccoon: Originally, no. I was born in London, England and lived there till 2015. Since then, I’ve been living in Hamsterville.
Reporter: What would you do to make Hamsterville a better place?
Freddy Raccoon: I would like to organize a historical city tour of Hamsterville. There is so much history in the back streets of Hamsterville that nobody knows about. In the historical quarter, almost every shop has its own story. I think rodents need to learn more about historical Hamsterville and appreciate its history.
Reporter: What is more important to you, process or product?
Freddy Raccoon: Product, I think it’s more important to get things done, than to pull things out and ‘enjoy’ the process of doing something.
Reporter: What would you do if there were a bad flood in Hamsterville?
Freddy Raccoon: The most important thing is to get all the rodents in Hamsterville safe. I think the city needs to have an easily accessible checklist of all it’s residents. I would do an inventory to see if ALL the rodents were safe. This includes cats!
Next, all the historical buildings would be checked to see if any damage was done. Then, the homes would be checked. Lastly, the museums, movie theatres, and other businesses would get a damage check.
Reporter: Why would you place historical buildings in front of homes on your priority list?
Freddy Raccoon: We need to preserve history, chances are, that if an old building is damaged and left that way that it will fall into even more despair.
Reporter: Thank you for this very interesting interview, Freddy!

Interview: Anna Stripes
Another interview with a candidate for Hamsterville mayor: Anna Stripes! Anna Stripes is a coati living in Hamsterville.
Reporter: Hi, Anna Stripes! How are you? What inspired you to run for mayor?
Anna Stripes: I’m ok, a bit tired. I love reading and have a habit of reading late into the night. My Ma encouraged me to run for mayor, after I started complaining about Leopard Grey.
Reporter: What are your thoughts on Leopard Grey?
Anna Stripes: He’s ok, it just bothers me that he’s ignoring certain issues.
Reporter: What issues?
Anna Stripes: One of the main issues is flooding, we’ve had flood warnings for YEARS. Still, nobody seems to have created an emergency plan that is available to the public.
Reporter: Have you met any other of the Hamsterville mayor candidates?
Anna Stripes: Yes, I’ve met all of them except Abigail Robin. We are meeting for tea next week.
Reporter: What things would you like to change if you became the mayor?
Anna Stripes: I would create a flood plan that is available to the public. Also, I’d like more information to be available about the volcano that’s next to Hamsterville.
Reporter: What would you do next, if you don’t become mayor?
Anna Stripes: I’d go to Hamsterville University and finish my masters degree in nursing.
Reporter: Thanks for this interview, Anna! See you around Hamsterville!

Coyote Attack!
Yesterday in Volington a group of hedgehogs bravely defended themselves against a coyote.
A group of 8 hedgehogs was working in the Volington community gardens when a coyote was spotted by Lewis Ivy.
Lewis Ivy is 20 years old and enrolled at the Volington City College. Lewis swiftly called the alarm and all the hedgehogs curled into spiky balls to assess the situation. The hedgehogs decided to perform the spiky ball maneuver.
The spiky ball maneuver is taught to hedgehogs in 8th grade and is in the high school P.E. final exam. Any number of hedgehogs can perform the spiky ball maneuver. Hedgehogs start off by jumping up 2 feet into the air, by the time they land they should be curled into a tight spiky ball. They then roll towards their target. The main or ‘lead’ hedgehog will uncurl, spring into the air, curl up in a spiky ball, and hit the target in the nose.
Lewis Ivy completed this maneuver flawlessly, he was acting at the ‘lead’. The coyote, Michael Autumn, was transported to the emergency room in Volington. The doctors and nurses working at the emergency room in Volington are used to pulling out prickles of unlucky fox and coyotes as the spiky ball maneuver is a popular defensive move for hedgehogs.

Rat Boat Race: Explaining the Race (1/2)
The annual Rat Boat Race was held yesterday. The Rat Boat Race is held once a year. The race is 2 miles long and generally takes about 1 hour to complete. The race course is different every year. The course is only announced one month before the race, and participants have to be registered by then. No motorized boats may enter, this includes steam boats.
Once the course is set, no rodents are allowed to train in the area. The course is under 24 hour supervision by the Duck Water Patrol until the day of the race. Only fishermice who fish in the area, and aren’t participating, can enter the area. Rodents have to get special permits from their town/city.
A new rule was enforced this year. In past years, only one rodent per boat was allowed. This year, rodents may work in pairs.
This year's course starts out at Ice Drop Lake, near Castle Gloria. Rodents then have to carry their boats to the nearby Glass Lily Stream. There they row past Ratstown and into Ratstowns famous Level 3 (the most challenging) rapids. Then they go through Dream’s End Tunnel and enter the Carrot River. They then need to go through another Level 3 rapids. The course ends at the Gerbil Town city docks.
Gerbil Town has the only duck water taxi system in Hamstington (see November 13, 2020 - Edition #131) and during the Rat Boat Race they split into two teams. Half of the ducks continue normal water taxi work, while the other half flys rodents over the race course.
Tip for rodents entering the race: Tread boats aren’t recommended as in almost all the races you have to carry your boat for a stretch. Tread boats are heavy and are hard to carry by two rodents alone.

Rat Boat Race: Participants & Stories (2/2)
The winner of the 2021 Rat Boat Race was Sebastian Cauliflower, a vole. Sebastian competed in a large wooden kayak. However, he might have only come in second. Last year's winners of 2nd and 3rd place, Chase and Amy Pickles teamed up this year. They competed in a red canoe and were almost at the finish line. Then they entered the second Level 3 rapids just before Gerbil Town. They did not see a large rock that was just under the water and their boat scrapped oblong a sharp point. Before they knew it, their boat was taking on water - fast. The Prickles twins had to be pulled out of the water by the Duck Water Patrol.
Everyone had hoped that last year’s winner, Martin Badge would compete again this year. Unfortunately, Martin broke his back, left leg while skiing in Lemmington in early March. His doctor forbade him to compete because the leg is still healing. Martin sat moodily on the sidelines watching the race. Martin is a physics professor and works at the University of Hamsterville.
Two skunks, Ivan and Ian Stripy, used a tread boat and together won 2nd place. They are both fishermice and use a tread boat while fishing.
Finally, Emily Cherry, age 18, bravely attempted to enter the race with a sailboat. Unfortunately, Emily had only practiced on Level 2 rapids and was greatly overwhelmed when facing the Level 3 rapids. She had to be pulled out of the water by the Duck Water Patrol. She somehow sprained her left front paw and is currently at the Squirrel Village Hospital.

Ratstown River Clean-up!
Last Friday in Ratstown, a dump truck crashed on Waterfront Lane. Before anyone could do anything, all the trash had flown into the Glass Lily Stream.
The driver of the dump truck was Blake Stanley. He has refused our request for an interview. Blake resigned his post as dump truck driver 24 hours after the incident.
The rodents of Ratstown have been doing daily clean-ups of the Glass Lily Steam. One of the biggest problems about the clean-up is that the current pulled the trash along. Rodents are finding some of the trash 2 or 3 miles down stream that the current swept along.
Rodents living near Glass Lily Stream, or any rivers/streams/creeks the stream flows, are advised to be on the lookout for floating trash.
“This is a catastrophe, we need to fish out that trash, and ensure that this will - and cannot - happen again,” said Ms. Michelle SunFlower, the mayor of Ratstown.

Pond Clean-Up!
Señor Luna, a common frog living on Frogita Pond recently complained to the frog community that the lily pads are suffering from pollution. The frogs have come together to make a list of rules on how to make the pond a healthier and safer place.
The meeting will be held weekly on Wednesdays from 3:30pm - 5:00pm at the “Grand Lily Pads” in the middle of the lake. There they will discuss what regulations to enforce, if their plan is working, and how to udgest their plan. The meeting agenda will be passed out two days prior to the meeting. A copy of the meeting notes - from the last meeting - can be found at the Frogita Pond community office in the blooming lily banks. A map of Frogita Pond can be found below.

Hot Air Balloon Mishap!
The Hot Air Balloon Festival was yesterday. The Hot Air Balloon Festival is held on the third Tuesday of April. On the morning of the Hot Air Balloon festival rodents bring their hot air balloons out to the Hamsterville White-Foam Cliffs.
The rodents are able to fly in the sky together and then enjoy a community breakfast. All rodents present bring a snack or dish to share.
The last rodent to return to the surface would have been Ryan Reddi. Unfortunately, he lingered in the sky a couple moments after the other rodents had returned to earth and a sea breeze carried him out to sea.
Thankfully, the local coast guard was present at the event and was able to rescue Ryan. There was a fur-razing moment when the balloon seemed to snag onto one of the tall rocks in front of the cliffs.
The coast guard had to pull Ryan out of the water. His hot air balloon was lost. Ryan sprained a paw and is currently at the Hamsterville hospital. He will be able to go home on Friday.
The evening event of the Hot Air Balloon Festival passed without a hitch. In the evening, rodents brought tea-lights and home-made lanterns. The tea-lights were put in the lanterns and released into the fast fading sunset.
The lamps are made with compostable materials and it is not a problem if they fall into the ocean.
Weather Forecast in Hamstington: Heavy rain and wind is expected for the rest of the week in all areas of the country.

Bicycle Race (1/2)
After the annual Rat Boat Race comes the National Bicycle race(s). The National Bicycle race is a race throughout Hamstington. It’s organized by Derek Pipes, a sandpiper (see more information in April 27).
The race is held during a period of 2 weeks. The race is held all over Hamstington. For the races, Hamstington is divided into 6 “areas”: mountain, sea, hill, inland, pond, and river. The areas are different cities grouped together in the same area that have a common element (e.g. Gerbil Town and New Prairie Town both border the Carrot River or New Lemmington, Little Lemmington, Lemmington, and Lemmingvill are all in the Rodentus Mountains).
There are 100 rodents competing in the race (including birds and frogs). They are divided into 4 teams that live together on double-decker buses for the 2 weeks. The buses have bathrooms, a small microwave, and pull-out beds.
The winners of the race are the rodents that complete the “area” races the fastest. The “area winners” then compete against each other in a race around the royal gardens.
Tuesday, May 27, 2021 - Edition #249
Bicycle Race (2/2)
Derek Pipes is the organizer and director of the National Bicycle Race. Derek participated in the race every year from 1997-2003.
In 2005, Derek became the director of the National Bicycle Race. He was in charge of all the planning, handing out medals, and overseeing that everything runs smoothly.
As well as being director, Derek has his own online knitting shop. He first learned knitting from his grandmother and has continued to knit as a way of relaxing during the race.
During the “mountain” part of the race, Derek has made the tradition of wearing his pink ear-muffs and long, knitted leg warmers.
In his online shop, Derek sells his famous leg-warmers, shawls, scarfs, and hats that he all hand-knits. Rodents can request what colors they want in their item and what style it should be made in. Rodents can expect a package with their item within 2-6 weeks.

Dr. Bill Glass-Eye finds Reddi Rat Hot Air Balloon!
Dr. Bill Glass-Eye, an ophthalmologist (eye doctor) and hobby fisher, found Ryan Reddi’s escaped Hot Air balloon this weekend while fishing.
Dr. Bill Glass-Eye promptly called the Frog Ocean Safety Association to identify what he had found.
Scientists expect that the Hot Air Balloon ripped free of the tall rock that it was caught on sometime Thursday (April 22) night on a strong sea ward wind.
The Hot Air Balloon then spent Friday and Saturday on different ocean currents drifting towards Froggy-World. Then on Sunday the Hot Air Balloon was fished out of the water by Dr. Bill Glass-Eye.
The frogs in Froggy-World have decided to fly the Hot Air Balloon back to Hamstington on May 10th.
