) Is there an exisiting module that can help me organize all my stories into one page (other than the main page) similar to the 'news' feature of e107 Any insights is highly appreciated Thank you

VIEWS module
I don't know e107 but you can use the VIEWS module to create pages(and blocks) of nodes selected/sorted and displayed according to all types of criteria.
http://drupal.org/project/views
The views module provides a flexible method for Drupal site designers to control how lists of content (nodes) are presented. Traditionally, Drupal has hard-coded most of this, particularly in how taxonomy and tracker lists are formatted.
This tool is essentially a smart query builder that, given enough information, can build the proper query, execute it, and display the results. It has four modes, plus a special mode, and provides an impressive amount of functionality from these modes.
You need Views if:
* You like the default front page view, but you find you want to sort it differently.
* You like the default taxonomy/term view, but you find you want to sort it differently; for example, alphabetically.
* You use /tracker, but you want to restrict it to posts of a certain type.
* You like the idea of the 'article' module, but it doesn't display articles the way you like.
* You want a way to display a block with the 5 most recent posts of some particular type.
* You want to provide 'unread forum posts'.
* You want a monthly archive similar to the typical Movable Type/Wordpress archives that displays a link to the in the form of "Month, YYYY (X)" where X is the number of posts that month, and displays them in a block. The links lead to a simple list of posts for that month.
Views can do a lot more than that, but those are some of the obvious uses of Views.
