Whitewater Paddling by Alyssa Lentz (age 11)
The season had just changed and what used to be winter became spring, leaving the rising waters a perfect place to journey for the May long weekend. It was expected to be a long drive but I believed it was the greatest place to spend the long weekend with even greater people. As we drove, the thundering roars of the rapids danced in my mind, for it would be my first time paddling this spring. Over the years it has been an ongoing tradition for us to travel down to Black Sturgeon and paddle with a few families, so it was to my surprise to see over five families at our arrival, and more that came later. The younger kids were running around while the adults and older kids unpacked and set up the campsite. After that was done lunch rolled around. Myself and others went for a short paddle, practicing our skills that would keep us upright and safe on the rapids.
The next morning was hectic, especially since I am ALWAYS the last one up. While I was eating my cold breakfast, everyone was getting ready for the morning paddle. I rushed into the tent to get changed, then prepared my boat that my father and myself would be taking. I was ready to go before everyone else but of course the slowpoke called my dad wasn't. He was helping gear up new paddlers for their epic journey down the river. When we finally got into the water there was a feeling of calmness that filled my body and I knew I was where I belong. It wasn't until further down the booming waters where the adventure and memories started to escalate. It's not unusual for my father and I to do a few crazy fun things in the rapids! As the waters rushed we paddled into a wave unlike no other and as we surfed, I jumped up into a headstand while my dad held the steady brace—there I was in the middle of the rapids standing on my

head. Why? Just for fun and laughs and a few good photos. After that, my dad hopped into the front of the boat and left me to the steering. It always gives me a sense of excitement to navigate down the rapids and dance with the waves. When we returned back from our river trip and the shuttle was over, there was a nice warm lunch waiting for our arrival. It wasn't for another hour that another departure would be made with another group eager to take their turn at dancing with the river. This break left time for my friends and me to play with the younger kids and gain our energy back! We ran around and played games with them the whole afternoon. Adventure unfolds around every corner as kids and adults alike interact with the river. When the sun had fallen, a fire was started and we all sat around sharing the stories of the day and ate the most golden marshmallows ever known to
humans. The beautiful voices of our friends could be heard in the cool night air, with the river singing the melody. As I went to sleep that night, the adrenaline in me was ready for the paddle tomorrow. A trip in the solo canoe for me would be my next day’s goal. This tradition of a whitewater paddling weekend at Black Sturgeon has become an enjoyable one, filled with great family fun and adventure for all, from new paddlers, to old ones and everything in between. Paddling is something that truly makes me happy and has allowed me to grow as a person. Whether on a whitewater weekend, a canoe trip, a day paddle or an epic spring paddle down the Slate River (that is another story) there are always laughs afterwards and great lessons learned.

Scuba Diving Adventure By Mya Hane (age 13)
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be a fish? Scuba diving is a good way to have this experience. I was very curious but I was also nervous to be in the water with all of the equipment on. At the Thunder Country Intro to Diving course I experienced what it feels like to be a fish in a safe, friendly environment!
Mya discovers SCUBA with the assistance of Thunder Country Diving.

The staff showed me a video then took me to the back of the store to fit me with the perfect fitting scuba gear. I got my own buoyancy suit regulator and cylinder, which allowed me to breath underwater. I felt like a robot! Do you know how they got Darth Vader’s breathing sounds from the original Star Wars movie? They got the special sound effects from a person breathing through a regulator. I thought that was cool—the things movie makers do to make their special effects. When I got to the pool I was kind of tense at first, but Amanda and Wally made me feel relaxed in and out of the water. Amanda and Wally are the instructors at Thunder Country Diving. They instructed me in snorkeling and scuba diving. Amanda taught me about the technical side of scuba diving, as well as how to swim with all of the scuba gear on. Amanda taught me the first two regulator procedures and Wally taught me the third one, pretending I was out of air. They are both great teachers. Wally has been teaching for over 40 years and Amanda got her scuba diving certificate when she was 12 years old. Wally taught me about keeping your weight in the middle of the water. It is called neutral buoyancy. It is important in the ocean to maintain neutral buoyancy so that you do not sink too low and kill coral, fish, or other sea creatures. They showed me how to get down deep with a snorkel to see some of the coolest sea life. I also learned all sorts of new hand signals. There are signals for “I’m okay,” “I’m low on air,” and “I’m out of air.” Once I had been given all of this information I felt ready to do anything. I had tons of fun practicing real procedures with Amanda and Wally and can’t wait until I can scuba dive in the ocean someday. Thank you to Thunder Country Diving for giving me the opportunity to experience scuba diving.

Wonder
R.J. Palacio
Bullets, Blood & Stones Donna White
I truly don’t know where to start with this book. Being a young adult reading this book talking about kids my age forced to become child soldiers and trying to relate just wasn’t possible. I didn’t have a lot of knowledge about child soldiers until I starting reading the novel. The amount of emotions I had during this surprised me. I had a tornado of emotions reading the novel. I was sad, happy, excited, confused, and everything in between. The friendship and magic that I see in the novel is amazing. How friendship and conflict can make such a difference. The novel was talking about a relevant event happening in our world (past and today), and after reading Donna White’s powerful messages I really had to think about what was really happening in the world. I was truly glad that I read this novel because not a lot of people talk about the problem of child soldiers. The book is fictional, but has some very real meaning in it. This novel was so powerful that I thought that I was in the book; I know this may sound a little odd, but I was preparing myself for what happened next in the novel because it was just that powerful. The novel didn't hold back one bit as the very real, strong, emotional events happened. I never wanted to stop reading no matter how I was feeling. Reading as a class, I got a lot of different opinions. There was anger, happiness, confusion, and lots more. Everyone will have a different opinion on the subject of what young children were forced to be child soldiers, killing brothers and parents. "Kill or be killed" as they would say, but some had the strength to stand up to that and try as hard as they could to stop it. I believe that this novel is a mature read, for someone that can handle a topic that is very traumatic and sad. However, the magic and the power of friendship can change people and things. I read this book and I am a 12 year old girl. Cannot wait until the second book! - Chalisa Hoskins (age 12)
But I know ordinary kids don’t make other ordinary kids run away screaming in playgrounds. I know ordinary kids don’t get stared at wherever they go. - Auggie, from Wonder Wonder is an outstanding book by R.J. Palacio. The main character is August (or Auggie) Pullman. August was born with facial problems, which make him feel different and like he doesn’t fit in. For the first time in his life, Auggie is starting school, in fifth grade at Beecher Prep Middle School (a private school). Auggie is very nervous to start in a new school: new kids, new people, new EVERYTHING. When he starts school, he meets some kids who will later become his friends, but also a group of mean kids. Auggie has to find a way to live through it and make everyone appreciate him for who he really is. The writing in this book made me feel connected to the character of Auggie. Starting grade five and moving to a new school is pretty scary for anyone, even if they don’t have the problems this character does. The book also gives you different points of view from the different characters in the book, like his sister and other kids in Auggie’s class. The best part of the book for me was getting to read along as Auggie tries to get people to like him for who he is. Some parts are really funny, and there are parts that made me feel really sad, like when the group of mean kids are picking on Auggie. Wonder was a good book for my age, and my reading level (grade five, same as Auggie). Even though there is a part of the book where his sister Olivia uses big words to explain how Auggie got his facial problems, like “mandibulofacial,” it still helped me understand it all. As Olivia says in the book, “I like how words you don’t understand explain things you can’t understand.” This story is fictional, but in the acknowledgements at the back of the book, the author thanks “the little girl in front of the ice cream shop and all the other ‘Auggies’” who inspired her to write this book. If you read this book and really like it too, R.J. Palacio has also written other books from the points of view of some of the other characters in Wonder. The movie Wonder also came out in theatres on April 7. -Eden Rennie Kinniburgh (age 10)

Off the Charts Burgers N More
By Nathan McChristie (age 13) and Sarah McChristie (age 11) When most people think of OTC, they think of burgers and fries, but they also have yummy hot dogs. We tried their kids dog and cheese dog, shared a bag of fries (available in one size), and washed it all down with a Coke. OTC’s staff are very friendly and their service is pretty fast. We decided to eat there to enjoy our meal while it was hot. Although OTC offers a lot of different toppings, we ordered the kids dog with ketchup and a plain cheese dog. The hot dogs were delicious—fresh and juicy and the buns were nice and fresh, made locally at Golden Bakery. The cheese dog was exceptional besides the fact that the cheese was a bit messy. The kids dog was also good, with the perfect amount of ketchup, but a bit of bacon would make it ten times better, (next time!).
Nippers
By Sofia Davey (age 10) and Olivia Davey (age 12) We went to Nippers at 713 Simpson Street. We ordered two hot dogs and could not resist a large bag of hand-cut french fries with salt and malted vinegar. The hot dog was delicious, just as you'd expect from a place that has been in business for about 30 years. We had our hot dog with no condiments so we could get the full taste of the hot dog, and we loved it! We also discovered that Nipper's is the nickname of the original owner’s relative. It’s a great place to go for a quick bite to eat.
Did you know? The hot dog was invented in 1484 in Frankfurt, Germany where it was called the frankfurter?
Lincoln Street Eatery By Jordan Maki (age 11)
On Sunday April 30, I attended the Lincoln Street Eatery’s Celebrity Hot Dog Night, featuring local chefs from restaurants such as the Red Lion Smokehouse, The Cheese Encounter and many more. There were so many hot dogs—everything from vegetarian hot dogs to hot dogs dipped in beer. All of them were quite delicious. They also offered fancy licorice and chocolate flavored cupcakes. The Lincoln Street Eatery is about more than the food. This eclectic restaurant is built from a storage unit and features a high tech stove, comfy chairs, heaters, tables, and even an outhouse. The atmosphere was very welcoming. A special thanks goes out to Jennifer Sauve for creating a place where people can come by and enjoy delicious food without the hubbub of expensive restaurants. Overall the Lincoln Street Eatery is a fantastic restaurant and you should definitely check it out on your next trip downtown!

Making a smoothie on the Blender Bike with Roots to Harvest
Freshtastic Ice Pops By Georgia Penney (age 8) When it’s hot in the summertime, what’s better than an icy treat? Sure, you could buy a box of sugary pops and stick them in the freezer, but what’s the fun in that? And, they really aren’t that good for you.

FUN AT FOOD FRENZY
Talking about what grows in Thunder Bay with the Food Strategy folks
By Eden Rennie Kinniburgh (age 10)
Eat, drink, and be merry—that’s the best description of my night at Food Frenzy on Wednesday, May 3. Food Frenzy is an event hosted by the City of Thunder Bay for Youth Week and happens every year. Food Frenzy is an event just for teens where you learn about food, make food, eat food—everything that I could want in one night! I brought a friend so I could have some company. When we got there, we went straight to the Roots to Harvest table where we got to make a smoothie using a bike. When you pedalled the bike, it powered the blender instead of using electricity. The smoothie tasted really good, except I could have pedalled harder at the spinach part.
So instead of wasting money and putting bad foods into your body, you can make your own ice pops that are delicious and good for you! Your parents will be so proud that you’re choosing a healthy treat, and your tummy and taste buds will enjoy the yumminess! All you need for fresh fruit and yogurt smoothie pops is a base (like yogurt), some fruit (any kind you like), a liquid (juice or milk), and some fun stuff (like chocolate chips or chia seeds). You’ll also need a blender and either ice pop molds or plastic cups and wooden sticks. Using the chart below, pick one food from each box and put everything into the blender or food processor (don’t forget to ask for help!). It really doesn’t matter how chunky or smooth your smoothie is— make it the way you like it! Pour into the molds or cups, and pop them into the freezer. In a few hours, you’ll have a sweet treat to beat the heat! Base – ½ cup
Fruit – 1 cup
Liquid – ½ cup
Other Stuff
After that, we went to the Science North table where they were doing food experiments. We learned about spherification, an experiment using juice and sodium alginate. When the juice touched the sodium alginate in a bowl, it stuck together in little balls—like imitation caviar, the scientists told us. I also tasted homemade gummy bears and store bought ones to compare them. I thought that the homemade ones tasted better, although they were a bit goopier.
Kefir
Berries – any kind
Juice – apple, orange, grape, berry, cranberry
½ cup ice cream
Greek yogurt
Diced mango
Also, while we were there, we got three recipes from Ontario Nature on how to use wild flowers and wild foods to cook and bake with, including this recipe below for Dandelion Muffins. We also decorated and ate cupcakes, tried chocolate energy balls, got Henna tattoos, learned a trick for checking if an egg is fresh, and even looked at a drone that can tell you if your crops are healthy or not.
Peach or pear nectar
2 tablespoons flax seeds, chia seeds, or hemp hearts
Fruit-flavoured, plain, or vanilla yogurt
Sliced banana
Coconut water
½ cup dried fruit (chopped if it’s large)

Milk – dairy, nut, coconut, rice, hemp, or oat
½ cup chocolate chips
Cultured coconut milk
Sliced kiwi
Soy yogurt
Diced melon
Ice cream
Pineapple
Calla Sampson, the event organizer, told me the reason they started Food Frenzy was because of Youth Week in Thunder Bay. Most of the other Youth Week events were for younger kids, so Food Frenzy is targeted just to 12-18 year olds as they figured all teenagers like food. I really liked every activity at Food Frenzy. I had fun and I learned new things that I hadn’t known before, like for example about seeds and what kinds of food you can grow in Thunder Bay. Food Frenzy is a really cool event and if they do it again I think you should go. *** For the “Dandy Muffin Tops” recipe provided by Ontario Nature, please see: ediblewildfood.com (recipe courtesy of Edible Wild Food).

THEATRE
Invisibles
A Play About Invisible Disabilities By Samantha Sgambelluri (age 13) Photo supplied by Magnus Theatre
On Tuesday May 16, I had the pleasure of seeing the Magnus Theatre production Invisibles. Invisibles is a Theatre in Education program created and produced with the support of the Thunder Bay Community Foundation and the Ontario Arts Council. Teenagers from across Thunder Bay began working on the project in the fall of 2016. These teenagers wrote and starred in the production providing all creative input. This project aims to discuss the struggles of teenagers with disabilities such as autism, anxiety, depression, and learning disabilities. I thought this play was well done. It opened my eyes and showed me what it would be like to have any of these four disabilities. I think the director, Danielle Chandler, did an excellent job demonstrating how unexpected events impact individuals who struggle with different challenges. She was able to guide the actors to really show the audience what it would be like to have these disabilities. As well, I enjoyed the way each disability was characterized in the play. The actors would individually go through each disability to break down what it was. I think this play can really open some discussion on this topic for everyone to talk about it. Some people may not be familiar with these challenges so this play can really help open some conversation. Although Invisibles had a very powerful and serious message it did have some funny moments. The actors who played the disabilities would add in funny remarks that kept the audience laughing throughout the play. The funny gestures and facial expressions were comedically on cue, which made it amusing. I can certainly tell that the cast members took their time to perfect this play. It looks like they worked very hard to get their message across to the audience. The time and effort that was put into this play by everyone definitely shows. This play had a very important message and I was amazed at what these teenagers and young adults produced. All in all I know I can say that Magnus Theatre’s production of Invisibles was outstanding! Congratulations to the director, cast members, and everyone who worked on this production. Great job!

My Peregrine Adventure 10 out of 10! By Anders Sandberg (age 11) Photos by Mike Pianka Photography
I was very excited when I was asked to go peregrine falcon banding. I joined my uncle Mike, our photographer, Frank the climbing pro, and Brian the bird expert. We began our banding trip on the Boy Scout Road. We hiked into bush all the way up to Squaretop Mountain. As soon we reached the top, we could hear the mother’s cry. This cry made me a little nervous and uneasy because it was my first time experiencing a peregrine falcon.
Frank pulled out his climbing gear and got ready to grab the baby peregrine. Once he retrieved the chicks, we sat them up on a blanket and began the banding process. Brian took a metal ring or the band and carefully placed it around the chick’s leg. As soon as we finished banding both chicks, Frank climbed down and set them back down on their ledge.
We headed down the mountain, packed up our stuff, got the ticks off us and headed home. This was one of the best experiences in my life! I will give it a 10 out of 10!

Ziplining in Grand Marais By Brooke Ailey (age 12)
Sign In!
Taking Off
WHOOSH! That’s the sound of a zipline taking off, and you can experience the rush when you take a trip to the Towering Pines Canopy Tour at Gunflint Lodge, just north of Grand Marais in Minnesota.
Once you arrive at the Gunflint Lodge, you have to fill out some papers (blah) and sign a waiver, but then you get to go ziplining (yay!)
Clip in, crouch down, step off the platform and ZOOM! Remember to enjoy the view as you soar between the giant 300-year-old pine trees.
The canopy tour is an exciting and adventure-filled trip through the treetop canopies of enormous old growth white pine trees on a series of ziplines. The views are awesome as you overlook Lonely Lake, Gunflint Lake, the Canadian shores to the north, and the vast forest that surrounds the lodge.
Next you will meet your two Sky Guides who will help you get geared up with a full harness and a helmet. Now you are ready to head over to Ground School (sorry to have to say the “s” word). At Ground School, you learn the basics of taking off, gliding, and finally slowing down in time to land on the platform.
Here is how to do it.
Getting There The lodge and the Towering Pines Canopy Tour are located on Gunflint Lake, which is a scenic 43 mile drive up the Gunflint Trail from Grand Marais, Minnesota.
Ground School
ATVs! Once you have passed Ground School, it is time to take a really fun little ATV ride up the rocky terrain to the first zip, a small, low-to-the-ground zip perfect for helping you get comfortable with ziplining.
Just don't look down!
Eight Runs = Eight Times the Fun! Thought you were done? No way! Towering Pines Canopy tours has eight runs, meaning eight times the fun! Each zip varies in length and height from the others, but my favourite was the Cliff Line because it is the highest and the longest. The entire experience lasts at least two hours so you can really savor the fun. Beyond the amazing zipline adventure, Gunflint Lodge offers a full range of great activities ranging from guided fishing trips to naturalist adventure programs and horseback riding, so you might choose to stay and play for a few days! Find out more at info@gunflint.com.
