Engaging With the Grandkids by Mary DeStefano

Turning Yesterday’s Trash Into Tomorrow’s Treasures! Recycle! Recycle! Recycle! My husband and I recycle daily but notice that many people don’t seem to bother. However, even more fun than recycling is ‘upcycling.’ A definition of upcycling is: to take an item you were going to throw out or recycle and use it in a new and unique way so that the resulting product has a higher value than the original object. I have a friend who does a marvelous job of upcycling. When I’m cleaning my scary room, I make a pile of my good junk and bring it to her. The photo to the left shows some of her talents. You, too, can upcycle. It can be as easy as bringing reusable objects to a nonprofit organization such as the Salvation Army store. As you make piles of giveaway items, you can also separate things that you and your child can upcycle. Then have fun creating a new art masterpiece. Maybe you’ll use recycled paper, broken egg shells you’ve dyed different colors or seeds and buttons. Creating art or finding a new use for an item is a great way recycle in a fun creative way!

Undersea Eruption

If you’ve ever taken a road trip between Phoenix and Tucson, you know that trucks are a common sight. But have you ever seen a truck without a driver? If you were on the road on Dec. 22, you might have seen just that! A company announced that it had successfully completed a semi-tractor truck drive on Interstate 10 from Tucson to Phoenix with no human in the truck and no human intervention along the way. This was the world’s first such run without a driver! TuSimple, an AUTONOMOUS driving technology company, said the 80 mile trip was the first of its kind on open public roads in a class 8 truck. The truck was completedly operated by the company’s Autonomous Driving System, or ADS. TuSimple said they worked closely with the Arizona Department of Transportation and law enforcement. The company also used a survey vehicle that drove five miles ahead of the truck, keeping an eye out for any potential complications. An oversight vehicle was also following the autonomous truck about a half mile behind. Law enforcement vehicles accompanied the truck as well. The truck’s journey started at a Tucson railyard and followed surface streets and highways. The truck

The world’s strongest volcanic eruption in decades rocked Tonga, a Pacific island nation, sending DEBRIS 20 miles in the air and covering the islands in ash in an event that NASA described as more powerful than an atomic bomb. Tonga is no stranger to earthquakes. It sits on the Ring of Fire, where shifting tectonic plates cause earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. Hunga Tonga-Hunga Haʻapai, the volcano at the center of the recent destruction, has been a source of fear for local residents for years. Before the Jan. 15 eruption, the volcano sent up steam and gases in December as a warning of what was to come. The underwater volcano and subsequent tsunami was an “UNPRECEDENTED disaster,” according to government officials. Many of Tonga’s 171 islands are uninhabited.

Childhood Collecting Leads to Career in Minerals

Silly Pugs Cause Christmas Car Crisis

by Reporter Noeul Stull Our Mother of Sorrows Catholic School

On Christmas Eve last year, our four silly pug dogs locked my mother out of her car while they were at the park. The pugs stepped on the door lock inside the car and they were trapped inside and my mother was stuck outside. Her purse, keys and phone were all inside the car. My mother started to panic since there was no one around to help and the dogs were becoming anxious. Luckily a jogger came by and asked if my mother needed help. The jogger said he saw a park employee and went to get him. The park employee was great help and called the fire department and said help was on the way. It wasn’t long before the firefighters arrived and got the car door opened. What a relief that was for my mother and the dogs! Christmas Eve was saved thanks to the kindness of strangers and the firefighters from Northwest Fire District–Station 33. It was just another day for them I suppose, but we will forever be grateful. No job is too big or too small for firefighters when it comes to saving people and animals. I believe they really are heroes with hearts of gold. I’m proud to say my Grandfather Banchero (Papa), who passed away recently, was a Lieutenant with the San Francisco Fire Department for many years. My Uncle Rickie is a firefighter in Union City, California. I would like firefighters everywhere to know how much they are loved and appreciated.

Recently I interviewed a mineral collector, Lauren Megaw, from the Tucson Gem & Mineral Show. She had just returned from a geology work trip in Chihuahua, Mexico. Megaw said she had a lot of opportunities to go to mineral shows when she was young and see some great rocks and minerals because her father was a geologist. She seriously started collecting minerals when she was six years old. Since then, she has continued collecting minerals. It’s been 22 years! It is surprising that her fun hobby turned into her profession. Megaw’s father used to bring home mineral specimens from Santa Eulalia, a historic mining area that has been in operation since the 1700s. This is where she went on a geology work trip in Chihuahua. She said this place has interesting colors because it produces a lot of calcite and weird minerals. The many kinds of minerals she collects come to shows like the Tucson Gem & Mineral Show, where people from all over the world bring their special minerals to share with the community and sell and buy, too. When I asked what her favorite mineral was, Megaw said it was difficult to pick one, but that collecting chlorites from a mine called Roger Lee in England was the best. She described that it was covered with electric blue cubes and they have special properties. “When we take them into sunlight, they turn like true ultramarine, and when we shine a black light on them, they turn purple,” says Megaw. She will show them at the Tucson Gem & Mineral Show. Megaw also likes pyragyrite, with its ruby-silver color. I personally have collected minerals such as Quartz, Topaz and Brazilian Agate, but I would like to see and collect more.

Adventure Tale Has Mystery

by Reporter Charlotte Davenport, International School of Tucson Has your dog ever ran away or have you ever felt that a grown up doesn’t understand you? Well, teenage Addie feels your pain! “Addie’s Sketchbook: Summer in Wellfleet” by Ruut DeMeo is recommended for tweens and above, but people could bend the rules and read at a younger age. It has some inappropriate language, but it’s not nearly as bad as language some grown ups use. The book is written from the perspective of 13-year-old Addie, who is obsessed with books, reading and drawing. It’s silly, realistic, mysterious and adventurous; a general crowd pleaser. Join Addie and her sketchbook on a wild quest to find her lost pooch and solve the mystery of what happened to her beloved family member. Just dealing with that is hard enough for Addie, but one of her biggest problems is her home life. Her mother is always working and a neighbor is acting suspicious. Can Addie get to the bottom of all these mysteries? All in all, it’s a standard worth-reading book. On a scale of 1–10, I would rate this book an 8, because it is easy to understand, it exaggerates things in funny ways and made me want to read it all over again. Visit www.theomnibuspublishing.com to order your copy of the book.

Alberto of ‘Luca’ Gets a Sequel by Reporter Ysrael Hernandez Arizona Virtual Academy

Photo courtesy:

Disney/Pixar

The movie “Luca” had its time and now it has a short film sequel called “Ciao Alberto.” This time it’s about Luca’s friend Alberto and his new life in Portorosso. While Luca and Giulia are in school, Alberto starts working for Massimo, Giulia’s dad. The short film starts off with Alberto reading a letter from Luca, then writing his own. He mentions his job as a fisher-sea monster. He is worried he might get fired—he does a few things that make Massimo mad. If you want to watch it, “Ciao Alberto” is on Disney+.

More Gem & Mineral Show Speaking with Megaw, I learned a lot more about rocks and minerals and how to collect them. I look forward to going to the TGMS and see the minerals she described to me and I want to make a list of great minerals. The Tucson Gem & Mineral Show is Feb. 10–13 at the Tucson Convention Center. This year’s theme is “The Show That Glows.” Visit www.tgms.org for more information on the exhibits and displays.

f you were to make a list of what you can order from your phone or your computer, which groceries would be on it? We have made it very easy to do online orders and with a simple touch have them delivered to our door. Some people enjoy going to the grocery store, browsing the aisles, and seeing what is new and available to eat while some people prefer the ease of online ordering. Regardless of how you prefer getting your groceries, here are some simple tips you can follow to ensure you have nutritious and delicious options at home.

• As a family, you can browse the products available by starting with Choose foods you are familiar with but also venture out to try new ones. It can become a fun activity where, as a family, you try a new vegetable and fruit. Use your five senses to describe them and have fun with it. It is okay to use frozen or canned foods as well as fresh! If you select a canned food item, choose one with low sodium and with no sauce if frozen.

beans, rice, quinoa, lentils, chickpeas, breads, and tortillas. Make sure to give preference to the whole grains. This means that if you venture into the middle aisles at the store, choose those low in sugar (5g or less per serving) and with fiber (3g or more per serving).

• When it comes to proteins, choose ones that are low in fat such as chicken, fish, turkey, and lean cuts of other meats.

• For beverages, choose water as often as possible, and use fruits and vegetables to add color and flavor.

vegetables and fruits.

•

• After that aisle, move on to whole grains. There are so many options:

• Lastly, know that there is a difference between a snack and a treat:

Chips and cookies are not snacks, they are treats, and as such should be eaten in small portions and less frequently, not all at once. Finally, create a list of the foods you want to eat during the week. Do your grocery shopping based on the grocery list you created and have fun shopping online or at the store!

‘Encanto’ Is Disney at Its Best by Reporter Camilla Valdez, La Paloma Academy Lakeside Disney is known for always making amazing movies, but this might just be my favorite. On Nov. 24, 2021, Disney released “Encanto,” an animated movie about a family in Columbia which receives magical powers. Mirabel, the youngest child, doesn’t receive magical powers, but it’s up to her to save her family and their powers. One of the things that makes “Encanto” such a good movie is the soundtrack written by Lin Manuel Miranda, the writer of “Hamilton.” During the writing process, Miranda and his filmmaking team took a trip to Columbia in order to study the music and culture so that they

could write the best music possible. But it’s not just the soundtrack that makes this movie great. The plot and characters introduced in the movie make it even better. In the movie, we meet Mirabel’s huge and loving family. They are introduced with the song “The Family Madrigal,” where we get to know all of her cousins, aunts, uncles, and siblings and learn about their magical powers. Stephanie Beatriz, a talented actress, does the voice-over for Mirabel. Encanto is available for streaming on Disney+. It is truly a great movie and I believe that you should watch it.

Monsters Turn Into Humans in Latest ‘Hotel Transylvania’

Let’s Play GOLF

by Reporter Xavier Cooper-Sowers Rivera Elementary My family and I watched an at home, free screening of “Hotel Transylvania: Transformania.” We have watched the previous movies in this series and they are weird, exciting with action, and have lots of feel-good moments. My favorite characters in the movie are Johnny and the puppy Tinkles. I like them because Johnny is goofy and funny and Tinkles is cute and funny. In this movie something goes wrong with the “Monsterification Ray Gun” and Dracula and his daughter Mavis and all the other monsters are turned into humans. Johnny, the human, turns into a monster. In order to fix the ray gun they need to travel to the Amazon jungle to find a new crystal. While they are in the jungle there is a very funny part where Johnny and Dracula are attacked by mosquitoes. Will they find the crystal to repair the ray gun before the transformation becomes permanent or will they have to stay the way they are? I liked everything about this movie and did not dislike anything about it. Another thing I liked very much was that we watched this movie on my sister’s birthday, so we not only enjoyed a fun movie, but we also had birthday cake, too.

STREET SMARTs! Pedestrian Safety for Big Kids Read the following safety tips, then use the code to decipher an increasingly important pedestrian message!

Letter/Number Code

Children under 10 should cross the street with an adult. It’s hard for kids to judge speed and distance of cars until age 10. Look left, right and left again when crossing the street. Never run or dart out into the street or cross between parked cars. Make eye contact with drivers before crossing in front of them and watch out for cars that are turning or backing up. It’s always best to walk on sidewalks or paths. If there are no sidewalks, walk facing traffic as far to the left as possible. Cross streets at corners, using traffic signals and crosswalks. Most injuries happen mid-block or someplace other than intersections.
