While my family thought I was the most important event in January, many others events were focused on for that year. Along I-90 In Chamberlain, South Dakota, a man was busted for transporting more than 100 pounds of marijuana on New Years’ Day. The Marijuana was found wrapped in duct tape and stuffed in the mechanical works of the vehicle (“I-90 Traffic Stop Leads to Drug Arrest."). Another local story of that time in Sioux Falls, late social security checks in the mall caused multiple problems. Roughly over 3,000 social security checks were reported late on delivery in 1998. Not only did this affect the Sioux Falls area but the surrounding areas as well ("Late Social Security Checks in the Mail."). And finally Springfield prison Officials …show more content…
The Little Mermaid was created by Danish sculptor Edvard Eriksen in tribute to Danish storyteller Hans Christian Andersen. On January 6, 1998, the statue suffered an attack, losing a head in the process ("Copenhagen's Landmark Little Mermaid Statue Vandalized”).

Many movies made an impact on so many people as well.

Another film of its time was Patch Adams starring Robin Williams as a young inspirational doctor who is out to change the world for the better (“Most Popular Feature Films Released In 1998”). Patch Adams comes in at number 22 of 1998 and was nominated for an academy award in 1999 (“Patch Adams Awards”). Although these movies were outstanding, the one that I remember personally was the famous film Hope Floats, starring Sandra Bullock as Birdee Calvert a girl who has to decide in her heart what is right (“Most Popular Feature Films Released In 1998”). Hope floats won ALMA Award in 1999 for outstanding performance of featured film song "All I Get” (“Hope Floats
