The conversation below is between Zimmerman and the dispacher at Seminole County Sheriff’s Department:

Dispatcher: “Do you need police, fire or medical?”

Zimmerman: “We had some break-ins in our neighborhood … and there is a real suspicious guy. … This guy looks like he’s up to no good, he’s on drugs or something. It’s raining, and he’s walking around looking about. ”

Dispatcher: “Is this guy white, black, hispanic?”

Zimmerman: “He looks black.”

Dispatcher: “Did you see what he’s wearing?”

Zimmerman: “A dark hoodie, grey hoodie, jeans or sweatpants or white shoes. He’s walking around staring at the houses. Now he’s just staring at me.”

Dispatcher: “Location?”

Zimmerman: “He’s near the clubhouse right now. Now he’s coming towards me. He has his hands in his waistband. He is a black male. Something’s wrong with him. Yep. He’s coming to check me out. He’s got something in his hands. I don’t know what his deal is. Send officers over here.”

Dispatcher: “Let me know if he does anything else.”

Zimmerman: “These a**holes, they always get away. When you come in go straight to the left … when you pass the clubhouse …”

Dispatcher: “Clubhouse?”

Zimmerman: “Go straight in. Oh, s***. He’s running … down towards the other entrance of neighborhood.”

Dispatcher: “He’s running? Which way is he running?”

Zimmerman: “Down towards the other entrance to the neighborhood.”

Dispatcher: “Which entrance is that, that he is running towards?

Zimmerman: “The back entrance.”

[inaudible]

Dispatcher: “Are you following him?”

Zimmerman: “Yeah.”

Dispatcher: “OK. We don’t need you to do that. What’s your name?”

Zimmerman: “George Zimmerman.”

Dispatcher: “Do you want to meet with the officer …”

Zimmerman: “Tell them to come past the clubhouse and make a left then past mailboxes and they will see my truck …”

Dispatcher: “What’s your apartment number?”

Zimmerman: “It’s a home. … I don’t want to give that out. I don’t know who this kid is.”

Dispatcher: “I will let them know where to meet you.”

Zimmerman: “Have them call me, and I will let you know where I’m at.”

Junior, Jamal Mangelson had strong feelings about the case, “I’m not against the case because it was a racial attack, but more against the fact that a kid was killed, although the spin on racism does keep me interested, because honestly I didnt even think racism was such a big deal in America, I thought what remained was just jokes and some other situations. In the 911 call Zimmerman was told specifically not to follow Martin, so even if he didnt get charged for murder, he was stalking him. I believe Martin may have confronted him, but I don’t think he was threatening Zimmerman’s life”. The police arrived at the scene at 7:17 ET and one policeman did report that Zimmerman was bleeding from the nose and the back of the head, his back was also wet as if he had been laying flat on the ground. By this time, Martin had passed; reports say that the officers at the scene did try to revive Martin several times. As of now Zimmerman has been charged with 2nd degree murder, and if convicted may serve life in prison.

“We simply wanted an arrest; we wanted nothing more, nothing less,” said Martin’s mother, Sybrina Fulton. “We just wanted an arrest, and we got it and I say thank you, thank you Lord, thank you Jesus.”

Martin’s father, Tracy, said, “we will continue to walk by faith, we will continue to hold hands on this journey. White, black, Hispanic, Latino…. We will march until the right thing is done.”

1) Shop in a store completely different than your normal “go to” store, try something completely out of your comfort zone and see what you can find, remember to always have an open mind to new stores and different styles!

2) Change up your hair-do with either a new haircut or a completely different color, why not? If you’ve been married to the new look for as long as you can remember its time for a nice hair cut, don’t be afraid to chop off your hair to donate it to Locks For Love or dye it a color, if you end up hating the end result of your hair, it will grow back!

3) Donate your old shoes that you haven’t worn in 2 years to a secondhand store, then reward yourself with a new pair of shoes!

4) Buy a new nail polish, some crazy color you don’t already own, try something unexpected, green, blue, or neon yellow!

5) Try on a different style of jeans, dark wash, capris, flared, or skinny, something that wouldn’t usually attract you and pair with a colorful shirt, don’t forget that you can always try on colored jeans as well!

6) Accessorize, go through old or vintage jewelry and try something completely different that matches your outfit or is in a contrasting color scheme, accessories don’t always have to match perfectly.

7) Exercise, if its as simple as a couple crunches or as complex as a lifting work out try it out! You will never regret a work out so why not give it a go, don’t forget to eat a healthy meal before and after your work out and remember to stretch!

Be fearless with make up- try new colors you could also try looking up make up tips on the internet and duplicate the look! If you constantly have to have make up then try going with less or none, and if you usually don’t wear makeup try it out little by little!

9) Have a girls night- gather up your closest friends and explore different make up, hair styles, and nail polish colors!

10) Take a bubble bath- play the relaxing music and throw in the bubbles, after school, work, or sports, you should take a break and relax, you deserve it!

Late in 2011, Kaylee’s situation turned, and her kidneys began to fail – their function level falling to 15%.  She spent time in Children’s Hospital, ultimately being released to her home where she now spends 10 hours per day on dialysis.  She takes 19 types of medication and supplements twice-daily.

Early in 2012, during a routine medical check up, it was discovered that Aubree’s kidneys are also worsening and now functioning at over 400% (working too hard) failure is imminent.  She is not yet on dialysis.  The twins face an indeterminate fight to manage kidney health, dialysis and ultimately transplants.

In addition to Kaylee’s dialysis, both girls manage strict diets. All of their activity is clouded by the constant management against the clock of kidney failure.

Kaylee and Aubree have an older brother Gunnar.  Gunnar, a senior at Longmont High School, has avoided issues with his kidneys, but has had to give up playing football for the Trojans after suffering several concussions.

Kaylee, Aubree and Gunner belong to Linda Adams – a single mother who somehow manages to hold down a full time job while managing the insanely busy schedule of three teenagers – on top of the medical issues, expenses, and all else.

Through it all Kaylee & Aubree have been amazing examples of the Happy Smackah spirit.  Those who know them, know they are super close.  They go everywhere with smiles on, finish each others’ sentences, and giggle and laugh, while touching fingers and sharing glances.  They are remarkably upbeat, witty, funny, and silly, despite the burden they carry managing their health.

The Happy Smackah family of sponsors and volunteers are honored and proud to have Kaylee & Aubree as the Happy Smackah beneficiaries of 2012.  We thank you for your help and support in any way that you are capable – by attending our Happy Smackah  5k Fun Run on May 12th, through a general donation, through sponsorship or by volunteering.

As for the frosting on the cake and cupcakes, Trojan News found that frosting is disliked by many. Sophomore, Cassidy Ponzar added,” I actually do like frosting. Without it, it wouldn’t be the as good if it was just a piece of cake.” People that don’t like frosting prefer to take off the frosting rather than not eating it at all.

Out of the many types and flavors of cake , the most liked flavor is funfetti. “Funfetti is the best because it’s so fun and colorful,” stated sophomore, Maddy Schwartz. The runner up to the favorite flavor was just plain vanilla, because students said they like to keep it simple.
Whether you have cake or cupcakes next time you go to a party of some sort, cake or cupcakes are sure to steal the show with their cool decorations, fun flavors, and decadent frosting.
