ozzyschoonover

 * Name: Ozzy Schoonover
 * Location: New Castle, Colorado
 * Areas of interest: Community and local news, including school and local sports updates
 * Reason: I would like to receive credentials for three reasons. One, if I ever try to get into a good position to take a picture (for example: sidelines of a school football game) I am asked to go back into the stands because I have no right to be there. Number two, Every story I write I include pictures in because people pay more attention if there is pictures involved.The last and more important reason is to show people that don't come to the games and community events what they are missing out on so they might come and be a part of the community.
 * Accomplishments: None yet, still waiting to get some good pictures.
