Derek Zephyr Junior at PII recently discovered a planet orbiting a binary star system. "I' love science, how the stars are moving so fast like some kind of dance, but you can't even tell because they are so far away. This is the second planet I've discovered. Perhaps one day students will be able to really have the whole sky charted."
In today's climate how does one dress for success? The peacock Isles focus mainly on tourist business so a suit a tie as such that might work at a bank on the mainland seems out of place and stuffy here, reminding people on vacation of the jobs they left behind.

Sunrise bakery received it's second positive review from Laela Catnip. "Since the first review the bakery has expanded it's selection and become known as a place for artists to hang out. It's become a great place for locals as well as tourists."
Greennworks Grocery will be closing during the university school year for the next few years. The owner recent graduate and freshman at Peacock Isle Institute will be attending university and be unable to open the store for normal business hours. Mr. Avalon has said that he will have fully operational hours during summer and winter breaks. He has also redirected some of his suppliers to stop directly at peoples homes, specifically the Zephyr house since in order for the bakery in town to function, fresh food would be necessary.
More badges were earned in the vocational education awards program. 2 silver badges were earned though the online program. The program is also offered free of charge to students attending PII. 4 bronze badges and a silver badge were awarded to students this year.

The 2nd annual concert to benefit Native Islander University stipends was hosted by the more exhibitionist members of the student body, or bodies as the case may be. Sole Steepback played piano and the streaker Zayna Nerd sang ballads made popular by Merlin's Hill's Gabriella Newson. Sole even sang some native songs put to an industrial background beat and staging.
Derek Zephyr Sophomore at PII recently discovered a planet orbiting a red dwarf star. "I've always loved science. I started the Astronomy club last year. Who knew I would be able to discover a planet. The research facilities at the college are just cutting edge. I was listening to my teacher describe how scientists know its a planet and then that night, Wham! there is was." | |

Business is continuing to get better for all island businesses. every store gained a rank in business this year. Charles Zephyr had this to say. "It's getting hard to sell, work the register and restock all within business hours. Soon I may have to close for a bit just to restock.Three more bronze badges were earned in the vocational education awards program. and 2 silver sales badges were also earned. This is the first time a silver class was offered. Beatrice Zephyr earned three of the badges herself this year alone. "I'm taking full advantage of this opportunity. I never got to go to university, but I run my own business and need all the assistance I can get to make sure I'm successful at it." | |

The concert to benefit Native Islander University stipends was hosted by the more exhibitionist members of the student body, or bodies as the case may be. Sole Steepback played piano and Derek Zephyr played violin with sheet music in strategic places. And the streaker Zayna Nerd danced to the delight of all the men in the room.
For several years PII has offered students an opportunity to renovate cars for credit and for extra cash. Clunkers from the mainland are ferried over and stored on site. Students may rebuild, renovate, and decorate the cars and then sell them for a profit. This year Sole Steepback has renovated and sold two cars, one each semester. The Net profit, $8,800 is more than enough to pay for his tuition. These cars are available for sale and will be shipped free of charge back to the mainland for any tourist that buys one. Each car sells for $5,200.

The Island population has grown 20% from 5 individuals to 6 individuals. The added individual was a Native Islander missed in the original Census. There are currently 2 adults, 2 young adults, and two teens living in the Islands. Only one of them is a woman and no one is currently married.
A new native Islander was found and is now attending university. Several artifacts were discovered including a rooster fertility icon. (We could not get this for the museum as the scientists have taken it back to the mainland for study.) We also found several maps of the surrounding areas that may be of great historical significance.
There are currently more Island students at uni than there are university schooled graduates in the entire Island chain. The businesses that have started have blossomed. Tourist trade is increasing and scientific interest in the islands is at an all time high.
The native Islander found last year has completed his first year with an A+. Sole Steepback started with art and archaeology and quickly caught on to mechanics behind cars. He discovered a love of Music and Dance and even earned a bit of money with his first performance.
Teenage friends Derek Zephyr and Alrick Avalon decided to found the Peacock Island Chapter of the Astronomy Club. Each boy enjoys staring into the night sky. Alrick Avalon said, "All the other guys who live in the complex are scientists and techies so stargazing is something we can all talk about and I think finding out where all the stars are, being a part of that is really neat."
Scientists focusing their research on the culture and history of the Peacock Islands have unearthed an intact piece of pottery in the shape of a rooster on a nest. Sources say it is a fertility symbol of the Native Islanders, all things of a spiritual nature somehow relating to animals of the four elements. The rooster was placed by the bed for maximum effect. Those couples wishing to remain childless would not even have one in the house. | |

For the past four years the grocery store has remained unranked due to it's limited hours. Since there are no residents to take employee jobs, the teenage owner must fit the store in between school and homework. However, recently the Greenworks Grocery has been given a rank of 1 of 10. Store owner, Alrick Avalon was pleased. "I'm happy that people want to shop here. I'm a bit shy so I know that puts people off sometimes, you know like I'm not paying attention, but I am really. I guess the produce can speak for itself. I only stock good quality food and sundries."
The first scholarship of the Peacock Islands has been awarded to Derek Zephyr. He maintained at least an A- during his public school career and received the Scholar's Grant for attendance at Peacock Isle Institute which he began attending in the fall. | |
