Huntington Story

Janice Jones, 53, of Barstow, California is said to have been shot in the leg by her dog on Wednesday at around 10 p.m. 

According to California Highway Patrol press liaison Tammy Rye, Jones was eating pork chops in her motor home when her dog knocked her 9 mm handgun off of a seat and when the gun hit the ground it fired into Jones' right leg. 

"It could have been worse," Rye said, "The bullet hit two inches from the gas tank."


"Jones was transported to Huntington Beach Hospital via ambulance and later was transported to Irvine Medical Center," Rye said. 

 Jim Washington, a spokesperson for Huntington Beach Hospital, confirmed Jones was treated at the hospital but gave no additional information.

 Rye said that officers cited Jones for expired plates and the county’s district attorney’s office was considering whether to charge her in relation to the gun accident. 

 "Jones doesn’t have a permit for the gun," Rye said.

Jones’ dog, a Pomeranian named Tombo, was placed in the care of the Huntington Beach Animal Control officers.

"The dog seemed to be malnourished and had fresh cigarette burns on its forehead," according to Janet Ngo, one of the animal control officers. “It could have done with a little less abuse and a few more of those pork chops,” Ngo said.

Ngo indicated that her office would explore filing animal abuse charges against Jones.

Because of this picture, I decided to learn more about William Klein.       William Klein was born in New York City on April 19, 1928, and is now 89 years old. He had a very fast paced childhood, graduating from high school at just fourteen. He then enrolled at the City College of New York at the same time he joined the army in 1945. He had to go to Paris because he was stationed there in the army, but once he was withdrawn from the army he stayed in Paris so he could study art. He had the opportunity of studying with a fellow artist, Fernand Leger along with many other artists.       During the early 1950's he started trying to make abstract photographs from his paintings.

My First Interview

1.) How does it feel to be named "Student of the Month"? Great, I have been working for it the entire school year. 2.)What do you think moved people to vote you for student of the month? I think people were moved to vote for me because of my hardworking personality and my overall friendliness.  3.) What do  you  think you did to be nominated for this award? I saved a puppy from being run over in front of the school, and I think once people saw that they thought "Hey I'm going to vote for her for student of the month". 4.) Was this title something you strived for, or did it just happen? I strived for it freshman year, but 10th and 11th grade I became obsessed with earning the title. 5.) What advice would you give to students who are trying to be the student of the month? I would tell them to make sure and turn your work in on time and try and become friends with your teachers, but try not to be the teacher's pet. 6.) Is there someone who motivated you to earn...
