HTAs New Hiking

Club!

Thats right, HTA has decided tohost a brand new hiking club!The club is open for fourth grade

through twelfth grade students.Space is limited so only students

will be able to sign up for hikingclubsorry parents! The hikingwill be on trails all throughout theisland. Hiking as a new club wasdecided because a lot of peoplehave not seen the scenery aslong as they have lived here. It isalso healthy and enjoyable. And

just think, if you bring a lunch,you can have a picnic with aview. A lot of the trails allow youto hike to a waterfall such asWaimea Valley. Waimea isspecial because you can actuallyswim in the waterfall! Where elsecan you do that? Some trailsalso allow you to pick the fruit off

of the trees to eat. Make sureyou dont pick or eat anything

before asking an adult first!When you go hiking you want tomake sure that you have thefollowing: plenty of water,sunscreen, bug spray, andsneakers! More information onsign-up, locations, and dates willbe coming soon. If you have any

Interview with Carly ButtonBy Cheyenne Cromer and Charis Ahn

1. How did your organization get started?A: When I was 11 years old, my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer. It was really

hard, and took a toll on our family. We thought that we wanted to help people who werein the same or similar situations that we were in. It started with helping families withcancer, and now we have broadened our range and now our organization helps kids inneed around the world.

2. What is the main purpose of your organization?A: The main purpose of our organization is to help people in need and children like us.If we feel that there is a cause that needs our help, we go for it. We earn money throughlittle things, bake sales, garage sales, donations. It all adds up in the end. Over thesummer, we had raised enough money to buy a van for an orphanage in Uganda.

3. Why did you write the book Special Delivery, and what is it about?A: We wrote the book Special Delivery because we wanted to write a book to help peoplewith or people who know people with cancer. It is filled with good recipes, mostly madeby the people who made food for our family when my mom was having chemo. Whenyou receive Special Delivery, you get a bunch of amazing recipes, and some personalmessages from my family.

4. How can people learn more about your non-profit organization?

A: People can learn more by going to our website atwww.dreamofabetterworld.orgWeare in the process of developing a new website to include all of our other websites, but fornow at least that would explain how Dream of a Better World was started, and givepeople a chance to order the cookbook.

The First Ever Youth Olympic GamesBy Douglas Nettle

This summer, over 3,500 young athletes ranging in ages 14-18 participated in the first ever Youth

Olympic Games. You may or may not have heard this, because unfortunately the events were not

broadcast in the United States or in Canada.

I first learned about the Youth Olympic Games this past winter while watching the Vancouver

Olympics. My entire family was glued to the television for weeks, event after event, cheering on the

United States. When the Olympics ended, I found myself online looking for more information and

came across the Youth Olympic Games.

The Youth Olympic Games, also called YOG, is an international multi-sport event just like the regular

Olympics but for ages 14-18 years. The president of the International Olympic Committee (IOC)

Jacques Rogge was presented with the idea back in 2003. He was finally able to put the idea to work

in 2007 when he announced that Singapore would hold the first ever Youth Olympic Games. YOG isheld every four years just like the Olympics, with a summer event every four years and a winter event

every four years. The summer events are scheduled for 12 days and the winter events are schedule

for 9.

YOG 2010 took place from August 12 26, 2010 hosted by Singapore. The opening ceremonies

were held on the Float at the Marina Bay. The Float is a stadium literally floating on the Marina Bay.

Singapores own youth athlete, Darren Choy, lit the Olympic flame that traveled through at least one

country in every continent, before being sailing into the Marina Bay on a boat. Over the 12 days,

3,500 young athletes from all over the world came together to compete in over 26 different sports andgames. The YOG games created an additional program that encouraged the athletes to talk to each

other and learn about each others cultures and lives back home, when not in competition. Many

friendships formed during these times. One young athlete from Australia and another from Kenya

became best friends from this time together. Another interesting story that came out of these

competitions, was about two young athletes that had been swimming and training in a lake their

whole lives, swam in a swimming pool for the first time when they came to the YOG games.

Although YOG is about competition, it seems to be much more than that. Its about young people

coming together from different countries and cultures, to learn about each other. Maybe, if we really

get to know each other, we will actually see that we have more in common than we knew: eventuallyliving in peace and getting along.

A reason for starting YOG can be summed up in a statement made by IOC President Jacques

Rogge. Communicating with athletes in their teens, who are potentially more receptive than their

elder peers, is crucial. Maybe the world with not only be a healthier place because of YOG, but we

will learn to communicate and get along better. Rogge also said If the Youth Olympic Games can

help provide the worlds youth, one athlete at a time, with a path to better, brighter, healthier futures,

we will have succeeded. And very soon the Youth Olympic Games will become as much an

indispensable fixture of the Olympic calendar as its grown-up brothers. To learn more go toacadmin Friday, October 22, 2010 7:57:23 PM HT 00:23:df:93:28:8a

Gummi Bear Diaries!By Brooke Adamson and Patricia Crisp

Todays Episode: Gummi vs. Banana Peel

*This is part one of a continuing series for middle and high school students. Hope you like it..

Amy listened to the breathing.

Quiet breathing...

slow,

relaxed,

completely unaware of their surroundings...

Breathing of two...

No...three people.

Under the covers, she smirked.

Perfect.

After counting to 10 she softly threw off the bed-sheet covers and sat up.

Unlike all the other girls in her dorm, she wasnt in her sleeping clothes.

She was fully dressed, jeans, black t-shirt, sneakers.

Her hair tied up in a high ponytail.

Silently, she breathed a sigh of relief.

...hmm...

Her brown eyes darted around the room at the sleeping figures in the beds. They all were breathing softly, either caught in a web of

dreams or completely unconscious. Paralyzed, either way.

...so far, so good....

She cautiously checked the room again for any movement before she reached under her bed and pulled out a small black backpack.

Quietly as she could, she lifted the strap onto one shoulder, slowly and quietly standing up.

Her eyes riveted to the door.

Quickly she made her way across the room, breathing softly, focusing her eyes on the frame of the door. when she got there, she

placed her hand on the doorknob, and turned it.

Thankfully the hinges didnt squeak as she quietly opened the door and peeked out.

The hallways, unlike in the daytime, were quiet and dark. No voices of school were heard...footsteps, laughing, bells...it was

quiet as a graveyards death. The shadows engulfed everything and there were only a few patches of the moonlight to light the way,

down the...

Amys body froze, suddenly aware of the watch-guard on patrol just at the end of the hallway.

What...?! Today of all days, on patrol...she thought annoyed. She had been sure she checked the schedule of the patrollers, and she

thought there was none on duty today...she was wrong.

She sighed in the shadows.

This would only slow her down.

To be continued...
