 Prehistoric Giants ‘Walking’ in Tucson
by Reporter Toby Chivers,
Homeschool
Recently, I went to see the awesome show called “Walking with Dinosaurs, the Arena Spectacular.” It was the thrill of a lifetime!
Seventeen life-sized animatronic dinosaurs rumble the arena for almost two hours in this fun, entertaining and educational prehistoric showdown. Some of the dinosaurs include allosaurus, stegosaurus, torosaurus, brachiosaurus, Utahraptor, and the star of the show—Tyrannosaurus rex—the most notorious carnivorous predator of the Cretaceous period, and for that matter, all of history! The roar of the mighty T. rex hits rock concert decibels! And the realism of these prehistoric titans is astonishing.
In addition to the earth-pounding dinosaurs, a paleontologist walks around giving facts and telling jokes about the dinos as they walk around, tend their eggs, fight, try to eat the paleontologist and even go to the bathroom! The show begins with the eggs hatching, and it’s all uphill from there! In this fabulous show, mountains move, plants
grow, fires burn, rain comes down, flowers bloom, oceans form, continents move and volcanoes erupt!
After the amazing show, I bought a cool T-shirt and caught up with Randolph, the stage manager, and Nellie Beavers, associate company manager. I learned it takes 25 trucks to haul the show equipment, while the people travel by bus or plane. It takes 16 hours to set up, four hours to tear down, and more than 75 people to put together the production. Did I mention that each dinosaur costs $1 million? The entire production, created by Sonny Tilders, cost just over $60 million. That price would add up to a dollar per year since these terrific creatures actually walked the earth!
I also learned about a little secret. Most of the dinosaurs’ “acting,” as you might call it, is remote controlled from a booth high above the audience. The only thing being controlled on stage is forward, backward, left and right. In the larger dinos, there’s a little vehicle between the dinosaur’s legs, where a man sits and controls these four standard movements. In the smaller raptors and younger dinosaurs, a person is inside the body looking out a secret hole in the throat, and his legs run parallel to the dino’s legs and into the gigantic, clawed feet!
You can look at pictures, watch footage, meet the dinos, play games and even download an educational kit online at www.DinosaurLive.com. So if the show ever comes back to town, don’t miss the experience you’ll never forget. Obey the title, and go
“Walking with Dinosaurs”!
A Dino’s-Eye View
by Reporter Christina Huynh
Nash Elementary
Rooooaaar! “Walking With Dinosaurs” played Feb. 17–21 at the Tucson Convention Center.
A paleontologist explains everything the dinosaurs do—like why they fight, what they eat and much more! The prehistoric giants get close to the audience sometimes, and I mean really close. (Don’t worry! Even though they seem real, they’re mechanical!)
I heard people saying things like, “Remarkable,” “totally worth it!” and “the dinosaurs are so realistic!”
Because of the show’s title, you’re probably thinking that we had to walk with the dinosaurs. Let’s just say that during the show, you’re too scared and engrossed to even get up!
‘Dragon’ Stars Relate to Roles
by Reporter Shane Weinstein
Ironwood Ridge High
 The big-screen debut of “How to Train Your Dragon,” based on Cressida Cowell’s 2004 novel, is slated for March 26. Fortunately, I had a few minutes to talk to the stars, Jay Baruchel (the voice of Hiccup) and America Ferrera (the voice of Astrid), about their characters and their work on this 3-D animated film.
The movie is about a not-so-burly Viking child, Hiccup, who instead of killing dragons like the rest of his village, befriends one. Although they are friends, Hiccup and Astrid couldn’t be more opposite. Astrid is a tomboy, and Hiccup is really not too tough.
“I relate to him because he is real skinny and childlike,” says Baruchel, “And his dad wants him to be more athletic and physical than he wants to be. So these are all things that resonate with me.”
Ferrera says that growing up, she wanted to do everything that the boys were doing. “Because if it was just for girls, I felt like somehow I was being put up in a box,” she shares. “So instead of playing on the girls’ softball team, I made my mom let me play on the boys’ Little League baseball team. And that was my Astrid moment when I was growing up.”
This movie was a dream come true for both actors. “As a kid, The ‘Sword in the Stone’ was it for me, and I get the feeling that I am kind of paying homage to Wart (Arthur’s nickname) through Hiccup,” Baruchel says proudly.
Ferrera says, “I loved films like ‘The Goonies,’ where there was real danger in these kids’ lives.”
Students Go Back in Time
by Reporter Alex DeBellis
Walter Douglas Elementary
On Jan. 28, several schools in Tucson went to Ted Walker Day at Old Tucson Studios, 201 S. Kinney Rd. My school was one of them! There are several amazing activities to do and see while at Old Tucson, such as the train ride, carousel, the old haunted mine, the ice cream shop and my personal favorite— live performances by the Old Tucson actors and actresses!
Ted Walker Day was made to remember Ted Walker, who organized the first Youth Day at Old Tucson Studios. Schools from all around Tucson go to this event, and admission is free.
Guests are taken back in time to when cowboys roamed Arizona. Actors re-enact famous gunfights and do amazing stunts. They fall off buildings and have fist fights. But don't worry! There are special mats that the actors land on when they fall. “Blanks” in the guns make the loud pop and bright spark, but don’t harm the actors. The fistfights are made to seem real with sound effects.
At the end of acts, you get to talk with the actors and actresses. I got the chance to ask questions about how they did their stunts and how they made everything sound so real.
My visit to the Old Tucson Studios is something I’ll remember for the rest of my life. It left me eager for more. I wanted to go back as soon as I left.
Go to Old Tucson Studios and you’ll have an extravagant time. For more info, call 883-0100 or visit the Old Tucson Web site at www.oldtucson.com.
Symphony Simply Superb
by Reporter Madeleine Zheng
Fruchthendler Elementary
In December, my mom and I went to listen to the Tucson Symphony Orchestra “Holiday Spectacular!” concert with my Girl Scout troop. The hall was so packed that I could hardly see the musicians! It felt like ages before the concert and play started.
The trumpets were blowing, the chorus was singing, and all kinds of wonderful sounds were pleasing our ears. Oh, I thought to myself, isn’t that harp big! I was happy to recognize some of the songs, like “Deck the Halls.” Many of us sang along, and that was such a joyful moment!
Going along with the music was a performance by the Tucson Regional Ballet. There were many familiar characters, such as the prickly pear fairies, chilies and rattlesnakes. I liked the Waltz of the Desert Flowers the best because the dancers had the prettiest costumes. Their moves were also the daintiest.
It was such a pity that no picture taking was allowed.
I would have loved to show you a photo of this great performance! If you missed it, don’t be disappointed. There is a TSO “Just for Kids” concert on March 6 and April 3. For more info, call 882-8585 or visit www.tucsonsymphony.org.
Olympian Works Hard for Family and Community
by Reporter Thomas Murickan,
St. Joseph Catholic School
I first met Bernard Lagat, an Olympic champion, when he came to St. Joseph Catholic School. Later, I had the privilege of interviewing him at his house!
Lagat lives on the northeast side of Tucson with his wife and two kids. He treasures most the silver medal he received at the Athens Olympics in 2004. He competes in the 1500-meter and 5000-meter races. What Lagat likes most about being in the Olympics is the opportunity to meet so many world-class athletes in one place. He says the place to meet people is the cafeteria at the Olympic village, which is huge and offers cuisines from all over the world.
Lagat is a hard worker, a good role model for kids and a caring father. He runs eight miles every day, six days a week. He also has a degree in management information systems. And he cares about his extended family and his neighbors. He carries on the same social network he had when he grew up in Kenya. He regularly visits schools like St. Joseph’s to give speeches—he encourages kids to participate in whatever they want to do and to work hard for it.
Lagat says in Kenya, people look out for each other’s kids to stop them from getting into trouble. What he misses the most about his country is the way elders are respected. He says it “is part of the social fabric of Kenya.”
Lagat maintains a healthy diet. He eats meat, fish and all kinds of vegetables with chappathi (a round bread made out of wheat). His favorite holiday is Christmas because his whole family gets together to celebrate it. His favorite restaurant in town is Takamatsu.
At the 2007 World Championships in Osaka, Japan, Lagat surpassed all his previous achievements by becoming the first athlete to become world champion in both the 1,500-meter and 5,000-meter races at the same event. He’s now preparing for the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, England.
Book Fest ’09 Was a Blast
by Reporter Katelyn Johnston,
Dunham Elementary
One day last March, my dad and I went to the UofA for a book fair. It was the first Tucson Festival of Books. There were a lot of people there. I went to a concert and saw a lot of book booths and food booths. I got my face painted, bought a kids’ cookbook and ate yummy food.
The next day my mom got to go with me and my dad to the book fair. We visited a lot of the book booths. We also went to the Pima Public Library booth, where my mom and I got to record ourselves interviewing each other about our favorite books. We got a CD of our interview. Later, we got an e-mail link to listen to our interview on the library Web site. Then we visited the kids’ area where Bear Essential News had a booth. I said I want to be an author and an illustrator when I grow up, so Bear Editor Stephen Gin helped me sign up to be a Young Reporter, and he also introduced me to Gary Shepard who does the cover illustrations for the newspaper.
I had lots of fun at the Festival of Books. I look forward to going again this year so I can meet more authors and illustrators, and learn cool stuff at the booths. I hope to see you there, too! This year’s Festival of Books is March 13–14 at the UofA mall.
Giant Scopes Grace Kitt Peak
by Reporter by Reporter Lily Fera,
Green Fields Country Day
Adviser: Anne Davies
This winter, fifth-graders from Green Fields Country Day had an unforgettable visit to Kitt Peak National Observatory. The students went to learn more about astronomy and have fun.
Kitt Peak has the world’s largest collection of telescopes. It has 24 optical and two radio telescopes. Kitt Peak was founded in 1958. It is on the Tohono O’odham reservation, and the land that it is on is the O’odham’s second most sacred place.
The students got to go up in a telescope and see all of the beautiful land surrounding them. Now, when you think of a telescope, you probably picture something you can set up in your backyard. Not these telescopes! These were huge. People can actually walk inside them. You can see the largest one from more than 50 miles away!

S.A.D.D. Helps Students Learn How to Make Good Choices
by Reporter Savannah Treviño-Casias
Mission Charter School
Students Against Destructive Decisions (S.A.D.D.) is a good way to be involved with your community and school. Anyone in middle school or high school can join.
S.A.D.D. club explains the dangers of using illegal drugs, drinking and driving, and the danger of using weapons. We are looking for guest speakers who have made destructive decisions in the past to talk to us about how they changed their lives.
Joy Edwards, a fellow S.A.D.D. club member, says she joined S.A.D.D. because she wanted to help her community. Joy explains that S.A.D.D. is a great way to learn how to make better choices in everyday situations. She says that she’s learning how to distinguish between destructive types of activities and activities that are more productive; that in turn helps her to be a better person making better decisions.
Wondrous ‘Wonderland’ Worth Trip to Theater
by Reporter Caitlin Chavez,
North Ranch Elementary
 Have you ever thought of something crazy and had someone tell you “impossible”? Well, that’s how Alice feels in the newest Disney movie, “Alice in Wonderland.”
Directed by Tim Burton, the movie is about a 19-year-old girl named Alice (played by Mia Wasikowska) who is a little “out-there.” Alice usually thinks of seven impossible things before breakfast! Then, Alice finds a mysterious hole in the ground, and that’s where her adventure begins! She meets characters like, “The Mad Hatter” (played by Johnny Depp) and “The White Queen” (played by Anne Hathaway).
The movie was partly based on the poem “Jabberwocky” by Lewis Carroll and partly based on the 1951 original film “Alice in Wonderland.” When I went to go see the private screening at the Harkins Theater in Arizona Mills on March 2, it was in astonishing 3-D! On the way out of this colorful, awesome 3-D ride, we got free original movie posters! How fun is that?
You should definitely go see “Alice in Wonderland” in a theater near you!
D-backs: Work Hard in School!
by Reporter Christian Rubio,
Imagine Prep at Surprise
Adviser: Lacee Collins
On Feb. 12, I went to the Boys and Girls Club in Laveen, Ariz., to interview the Arizona Diamondbacks Manager A.J. Hinch and catcher Miguel Montero. We started off by going to the gym, where we noticed the Diamondbacks playing with the kids. There was a baseball tee set up for the kids, and the team members were helping them improve their skills and posing for pictures.
I asked Hinch how he prepared himself to be the D-backs manager.
“It’s important, when you’re in school, to pick something that you love and do the best you can, and try to be successful in what you can do,” he says. “But the most important thing is to keep your grades up.”
When Hinch was young, he loved baseball and sports. “I did well in school so that I was allowed to play sports. And then I’ve just been able to learn things along the way in order to become the Diamondbacks manager,” he says.
After that interview with Hinch, all of the butterflies in my stomach went away. As we started walking around, we were lucky enough to get an interview with Montero. He was in a recreation room. A lot of kids in there were playing Rock Band and pool, working out in a fitness center and talking to Montero like he was their best friend. I asked Montero if he focused on school or what he was passionate about.
“I have to be focused on school first, and then if I had time to go play baseball, I’d go play baseball,” he explains. “But when I finished my high school, I wanted to be a baseball player, and I worked a little harder for baseball—that’s how I ended up being here with the Diamondbacks.
“But you know what, school is more important than anything because baseball (has to end) at some point.”
As the Diamondbacks were packed up to leave, The Boys and Girls Club in Laveen, I asked some Diamondbacks to cheer, “GO STORM!” before they left. And they were more than willing to say it!
We give a big thanks to the staff and members of the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Boys and Girls Club in Laveen for giving us the opportunity to come out and interview the wonderful staff and players of the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Have Fun, Stay Safe

Canyon Ridge Elementary
Spring break is coming up! There’ll be non-stop fun, spring training and a lot more!
One thing I like doing on spring break is just hanging with my friends and family. (Think sleepovers!) Even though I love school, having a week-long break is nice.
Everybody likes spring break (at least I like it!). So remember, have fun, but stay safe!
Give a Moose a Cookie…
by Reporter Bailee Schmidt
Caurus Academy
When I was 3, my mom burned some cookies so she put them out on the porch. A few minutes later, a moose came to our house. She started to eat the cookies, and the cookie sheet slid off the porch and went underneath it. Watching from the window, my mom, dad and I saw her get down on the ground trying to get the cookie sheet. And she did! My mom decided to name the moose "Cookie Sheet".
Every day, for about five months, the moose came over to see if we put anything else out. It was very cool to have a pet moose, even though we never touched her! My mom would call her by name and she came, like a dog. She was a very smart moose! I miss her.
Officer Gives and Gets Respect
by Reporters Lisbet, Marisol & Petra Jauregui,
Glenn F. Burton School
Officer Jason Miller of the Glendale Police Department visited our school last year. Like all police, he attended a police academy, where he learned to protect residents.
Guess what? Officer Miller is a motorcycle policeman—and he races motorcycles in his free time as a hobby! So he is having fun doing his job! He is really respected and friendly with all residents. No matter what language you speak, he respects you.
Since our sister wants to be a policewoman when she grows up, we asked Miller for tips. “Stay out trouble! That is priority,” he says. “Also, to be a good police (officer), you must love your job. But above all, get involved!”
The police department offers explorer program for kids ages 14 to 19 who want to become a police officer. It gives you experience and lets you train with the officers!
I asked Miller how policemen control their anger when someone is yelling at them.
“Every officer has his or her technique of controlling their anger.
I just simply do not yell back,” he says.
He is the type of hero we see every day without thinking about it.
LEGO Characters Come to Life
by Reporter Thomas Abshire,
Homeschool
“How do you build a spiral staircase with 95,000,000 LEGO bricks without diagonals?” Clutch Powers, a new LEGO character and the hero of “LEGO: The Adventures of Clutch Power,” which came out on DVD this year, answers, “You can’t, it’s impossible!”
In the LEGO universe, he’s an explorer and an expert builder. He acts like Indiana Jones. Other characters include a firefighter/ weapons specialist who builds quickly, a biologist who discovered 13 species, and an engineer who does not like the word “thingy.” Mallock Malign, the villain and an evil wizard, commands armies of skeletons.
This movie is stupendous. The LEGO characters in the movie actually come apart, just like they do when you’re building them in real life. I hope there will be a second LEGO movie. One slight challenge for audiences is to bridge the gap between medieval and futuristic settings.
F.Y.I.—The Arizona Science Center hosts LEGO competitions. Richie Power of Scottsdale, Caleb Jones from Surprise and David Oakes of Chandler beat out hundreds of others at the Junior Master Model Builder competition last month. They won prizes including two-day Hopper Tickets to LEGOLAND California and SEA LIFE Carlsbad Aquarium, and an invitation to see “A Clutch Powers 4-D Adventure” at LEGOLAND. They can also participate in The Ultimate Build-Off in January 2011.

Looking Good Can Be Painful!
Lauren Bukoskey
Cheyenne Traditional School
Click! Click! I heard the pop go off right next to my ear. “Oh, look how pretty you look honey!” I nodded, staring into the mirror. I looked good with pierced ears, I had to admit, but I also looked like I was in pain. I touched the gemstone right against my ear. The skin all around the new hole was swollen and red. My earring blended in very well.
Once we left the store, reality hit. I had a whole new thing to take care of. Dangly, sparkly, cute—the earring possibilities were now endless. But it also was hard not to imagine all the damage.
Everyone at school loved my new earrings, and all of a sudden, the pain went away. But in the same rush of excitement, this clear goo started to ooze out of my ear, which you can see wasn’t the highlight of my day. It soon went away and I could enjoy the day once more.
Having the responsibility of caring for pierced ears can cause a lot of aches. But if you get it right, it can be the best thing you ever did. Even though the beginning wasn’t my cup of tea, it soon became my whole glass of water.

by Reporter Drema Harmon
Altar Valley Middle School
In December, the Christian Family Care Adoption & Foster Care Association held a Christmas party for its foster families!
The families were treated to face painting, caroling, crafts, food and more. Over the past year, 28 children were adopted and 297 placed in Christian foster homes! Anyone wishing to become a foster parent, make a donation or do some volunteer work should contact Christian Family Care at 520-296-8255.
One of the highlights of the event was Momma V’s Mobile Petting Zoo. Virginia Ingram, known to everyone as Momma V, and Jo Stewart own Momma V’s Mobile Petting Zoo. They bring animals that people can pet to your party, reunion or whatever occasion. The animals they bring are chickens, ducks, geese, miniature horses, turkeys, alpacas, goats, miniature pigs, sheep and rabbits.
Momma V and Jo say the smiles on the children’s faces when they pet the animals make everything worthwhile!
