Man, everyone already did this. :[
Anyways, I believe the most important event to take place in August was the death of Ted Kennedy. Pretty much any death inside the government is important. Anyways, Kennedy grew up as the son of a wealthy ambassador, so he had been used to being seen by the eye of the public. Ted Kennedy had died of a tumor on August 25, but his family, including his wife, his sister, his three children, and two step children, help him live on through their memories. Robert Byrd, one of Kennedy's good friends, was shocked and saddened by the death of his best friend in the Senate. Ted Kennedy had been diagnosed with a brain tumor in May of 2008, which had eventually caught up to him and made him fatally ill. This is important to the country because Kennedy had been a part of the Senate for over four decades. He was known as a "liberal lion" in the Senate, rallying forces to fight against the Republicans. I think this is important because someone who is able to hold his position that long in the government is obviously a good choice for his occupation.

LAST CLUE?!
Mr. Quick, Aug. 25--Clue #2: Close to a lighthouse, Whalehead Club, wild ponies on the beach
As previous stated, Assateague has a lighthouse to warn ships of dangerous shoals. And I couldn't really get too deep into the subject, but I BELIEVE there is a Whalehead Club association in Assateague. I also learned years ago that Assateague is known for it's wild horses that migrate from island to island. Mr. Quick is in Assateague, final answer.

We're almost done!
Mr. Q, Aug. 24, another place: #1 Dangerous place for ships, good place for vacations, not too far from VB, short trip by beach
Well, once again, I think Mr. Quick is on/near the Eastern Shore. Simply because it ISN'T too far from Virginia Beach. There's a lot of campgrounds and areas nearby that make it nice for vacations. Now, time to be more specific. I searched for a map of the Eastern Shore and its surrounding area. In the process, I researched Chincoteague and Assateague. It turns out there's an Assateague Lighthouse that warns incoming ships of dangerous shoals, which is... a dangerous.. place for ships... Hahahah. Simply put, I believe Mr. Quick is now in Assateague.

Ms. Mervine is in Las Vegas, gosh.
August 11 place..Clue 2: Cirque de Soleil, Penn and Teller, Hoover Dam..if you dont know it by now I dont know what else to add..
Well, Cirque de Soleil is a familiar name to me from Las Vegas. I've never heard of Penn and Teller, but after searching, I found out THEY are magicians in Las Vegas. And from the movie Fools Rush In, starring Selma Hayek and Matthew Perry ;D, I remember that the Hoover Dam is very close to Las Vegas because Isabel always tossed a coin into the water for good luck whenever she came to Las Vegas. So, duh, Ms. Mervine is in Las Vegas.

It's Ms. Mervine again!
Place August 11: Clue ONE: desert, hot, strip, pyramid, in the western U.S., one of the "Vacation" movies
This one popped out at me. "Strip" made me think Las Vegas. (in the school-appropriate-land-related-way, of course). And Las Vegas is in the middle/next to a desert, in Nevada. I remember the last time I went to Las Vegas, there were many buildings with different themes. And I remember a big pyramid and a sphinx for one of the buildings. Las Vegas, Nevada is obviously in the wester U.S. Also, in movies, a lot of people take vacations there (Nah, I'm just kidding. I really don't know). So I believe that Ms. Mervine is in Las Vegas, Nevada. And if I'm right, that isn't a positive influence on your students, Ms. Mervine.

Current event.. D:
LATE.
July wasn't really that easy to pick a good event. Ever since the death of Michael Jackson, so many other famous celebrities and athletes have been dying. However, I think an important event that has gone in [late] July was the election of Sonia Sotomayor as a Supreme Court justice. I can honestly admit that I don't know much about this event nor have I put much effort into researching about it, but I know that it has and will make a lasting impact on our country. Sonia Sotomayor is a Puerto Rican American, raised in the Bronx, and was the first Latina to serve on the Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. Sotomayor is also a victim of type one diabetes. Despite her health and racial conditions, she was still able to make her way as a nominee to the Supreme Court, eventually becoming a justice.

Q3, C2
Mr. Q Clue 2: One of the oldest colleges in America, the "Harvard of the South". Oldest permanent English settlement in America is nearby.
The oldest permanent English settlement is Jamestown... I think a good amount of people know that. The colleges nearby include the College of William and Mary. That college happens to be within the group of colleges labeled as "Harvards of the South". With this information, it further proves that Mr. Quick is in Jamestown. :D
