YEW FARM REPORTS
by Agriculture Expert Bob
With winter soon
upon us I visited
some of the local
famers in Yew to see
how they handled
protecting the young
cows and sheep during
the winter months.
This interesting story
was told to me by
Yew famer Joe.
Last winter Farmer Joe revived a calf that was almost gone!
The calf--we call Junior--nestles in the glow of a warming box built especially for baby citters. The famers kids brush Juniors soft hide. Perfect calving picture right?
Now go back 24 hours Joe and his family had just returned from the Yew town meeting. Joe checks his herd a lot. It was November 8th.
"When I found this calf, he was cold--so cold his jaws where clinched and I couldn't get it open." Joe said.
"The tempeature was 20[degrees] and the wind was blowing 30 to 40 miles per hour." In just the 3 1/2 hours since the calf was born outside, he was struggling. "It was getting stiff, where the legs stick out and the neck arches back." says Joe.
"You know when your close to loosing a calf to hypothermia."
"I raced into the lot, picked up the calf, ran inside and got it in frount of Big Bertha to get some chill off. Then I put the calf in the warming box. [Big Bertha is what i call my fire place that serves as a barn wamer, cattle drier and calf warmer]
Steps to survival
The heater and warming box are step one.
Step Two is to warm Junior up from the inside. To do thisJoe uses a Re-sorb, warm milk and honey. The dose is given orally.
Milk out the cow. With Junior warming on the outside and the inside, Joe starts step three. "I get the cow in and milk her out. I dump it into the calf to make sure it has colostrum."
Junior stays in the warming box for two more hours. By then he is ready to go into the pen with mamma.

Last Tuesday of this
week it was reported
that the Blackwind
Nights invaded Yew.
The Knights had
hired a band of
Mercs. to help them
to try to invaded
lands in Yew. Yew
Militia and The
Frim met the evil
Knights and swords
were drawn as the
battle began. Lord
Dunedain and Lord
Grimrick joined forces
with the help of The
Empire. After
many hours of
fighting the
Blackwind knights
stood as the winners
of the battle. Yet it
was not finished
there. Adin was slain
by Adam, a knight
under The Firm flag.
A special sword was used that had some unusual powers in that when Duke Adin was reborn he was denoucing all that was evil. A civil war then broke out amungts the Blackwinds. Duke Adin drew swords against his own mother in an attempt to gain control back over The Blackwind House. Last this reporter knew the now good Duke Adin was to visit the town meeting this comming Sunday to make an announcement.
This reporter will diffently be there.
Baron Malicite sent a
scroll to the
Township requesting
an audience with the
leaders of Yew. The
Baron recently took
positon of Nujel'm.
The scroll did not give any details as to what he would like to meet about.
Caina Embargo
Also in the local news
Anna of The Frim
and Co-Sage of
Sacrifice placed a
embargo against Caina
for the slave trading
that goes on there.
The embargo is on
wares the city sells.
Anna informed all of
The Firm that no one
was to buy or trade
any wares with any
citizens of Caina.
Mayor Thorin also
joined the embargo and
made the same laws
apply to all Yew
Citizens.

KIDNAPPING!!!!!!!
BY Sage Fred
This reporter visited the Kindom of Stormhaven just in time to hear Prince Talon's announce 'The Prince is Home!" The Prince went on to say that Smogg has a good thrashing comming his way for all the harm Smogg has caused his guild while he was gone.
Way to go Prince Talon! During the Prince's homecomming party, Dryzzid of OES from Caina kidnapped the Queen. Everyone in Stromhaven is....ticked!
HONESTY BLOCKED OFF???
In what seemed to be a bold statment by Wintermoor, a blockade was built in the passageway between Wintermoor and the MTC Palace on Ice Island.
[you see a picture of the shrine of honest and the blockade]
Wintermoore is claiming rights to the shrine yet seems MTC may have the last laugh. In a act of compassion for the shrine of Honesty, Mayor of Moonglow, GreyPawn gave the deed to the shrine to the Regent. So if all is correct it would seem that Wintermoor was actually blocking off a shrine the Regent owned. I am sure there will be more to come on this matter.
