The virus was unexpectedly found in the Great Lakes in 2005. It causes fish to hemorrhage like the Ebola virus does to humans in Africa. Did the virus return in May of 2008, when waters warm to the temperature in which the virus thrives? 40-59 degrees. Get information from: Great Lakes Fishery Commission www.glfc.org Disease could be catastrophic to a $4.5 billion commercial and sports fishing industry. Scientists are not sure how VHS entered the Great Lakes, but most suspect it was the dumping of water from an international cargo ship. Any information about the health or problems in the Great Lakes you BLADE readers can pass on to Ms. Geyer will be passed on to all Pigskin Geography students. *** You will always be given a plus or minus figure with the mileage. How many miles allowed "+" or "-" the figure given will depend upon the ability of your class. Sixth to 12th graders that can measure to the 1/16th of an inch and divide fractions and/or decimals should only given about 10 miles leeway. 4th and 5th graders or other students who have to use the edge of a paper marked with the scale of miles may be given 40-50 miles. IT IS INTENDED THE STUDENTS LEARN TO USE THE SCALE OF MILES ON THE MAP TO CALCULATE THE MILEAGE. IT IS NOT INTENDED TO BE A REFERENCE QUESTION WHERE THEY GO TO AN ATLAS OR SOME INTERNET SOURCE FOR THE ANSWER. **** The Imperial Valley is irrigated by the Colorado.

Answer Key December 28, 2008 - Week #17 Just 12 miles from the heart of Washington, D.C., you’ll find Great Falls National Park where a series of waterfalls drops the Potomac 76 feet over a granite escarpment in a distance of 3,500 feet. A wonderful illustration of the Fall Line. www.nps.gov/gwmp/grfa/falls/falls.htm SGS Students at Liberty High School are raising money to restore a 19th century gristmill on Monocracy Creek in Bethlehem, PA. For information on how this project is coming along, contact: Karen Dolan Liberty High School 1115 Linden Street Bethlehem, PA 18018 www.illicksmill.org 20.

22. Atlanta Falcons, as Oglethorpe founded the British colony of Georgia. 23. Savannah, GA 24. December 28, 1945. The words “under God” were added to the Pledge in 1954, but in 2002 * The area is made up of 11 finger-shaped lakes of different sizes, running lengthwise in a north- south direction. The region is within a “box” of a line drawn from Rochester to Syracuse to Binghamton to Corning to Rochester. ** Lake Erie, 210 ft. deep, has its waters plunge 193 ft. over Niagara Falls to feed Lake Ontario. Ships get around Niagara Falls by going through the 27 miles Welland Canal. Lake Erie is 326 feet higher than Lake Ontario, so eight locks take ships from one lake to the other. *** Tell your students to "keep their noses to the grind stone." Falling water was a source of power for turning millstones to grind corn and wheat. If the stones became too close the friction would burn the grain. Therefore, keeping your nose to the grind stone made it possible to smell if the finely ground grain was being scorched. The Fall Line cities are on the eastern side of the Appalachian Mts. in the Piedmont or hilly section. The Fall Line marks the dividing line between the Piedmont and the Atlantic Coastal Plain. Piedmont means "foot of the mountain." On December 16, 2006, a fire destroyed the last waterpowered gristmill in Lancaster County, PA. Records show a mill had stood here since 1760, and this latest mill was believed to date to 1852. **** The five deadliest U.S. tornadoes: April 1936, Gainesville, GA. (203 killed); April 1936, Tupelo, MS. (216); May 1896, St. Louis, MO. (255); May 1840, Natchez, MS. (317); March 1925, MO-IL-IN (695) Source NOAA. These disaster dates make you appreciate our warning systems today. The tornado in Enterprise, AL, killed eight students. Ten people were killed in Greensburg, KS, as winds reached 205 mph and the storm cut a path 1.7 miles wide and 22 miles long. NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC magazine, June 2005, shows inside a tornado on pages 110-113. NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC magazine, “Chasing Tornadoes”, April 2004, pages 4-37 People in Texas might want to know that the ten top counties in Texas for tornadoes are: Harris 210, Hale 119, Galveston 108, Jefferson 99, Nueces 93, Lubbock 83, Dallas 82, Lamb 82, Tarrant 80, Johnson 79. From NOAA records from 1950 – 2000. You CHRONICLE readers take notice that Harris County leads the group. 55
