The Talking Tree
By Callie Habegger
Age: 12
Once upon a time, there lived a woman in a cute
little cottage by a fresh stream. This woman was a
witch, but a good witch. Her name was Casey.
Casey was in the process of creating a potion that
you pour onto an animal and the animal will the
able to speak the human language. Casey had a
huge cauldron of boiling water over a fire. She
was pouring in all different looking bottles of
mysterious mixtures into the cauldron. Each time
a different liquid combination was drizzled into
the bubbling pot, sparks of numerous colors
would shoot out of the pot and the potion would
change to a different color, at the moment, it was
blue. When Casey had finished putting all of the
main ingredients in, the potion had been an ugly
green. Casey always likes her potions to look nice
so she has a strategy that she does with every po-
tion she whips up. She went over to a bottle of
water she had got from the nearby stream and
dipped a cup into the bottle filling it to the brim.
She then was very precise to put in just a single
drop into the cauldron. When the drop of water
hit the surface of the potion, the whole concoc-
tion sizzled turning a beautiful light pink. Casey
then filled 25 flasks of the potion emptying the
cauldron. She then went to test it. She tested it on
a toad she found by the stream. When she
poured it over the bumpy back of the creature,
nothing happened. After all that work, Casey was
frustrated, this rarely happened. So she just
dumped the entire potion on to the roots of a
tree. The next morning, Casey heard a voice sing-
ing outside her cottage. She peaked out the win-
dow and couldn’t believe her eyes. The tree she
had poured the potion on to was singing! The
potion Casey had made makes plants talk, not
animals.
A few days ago I lost a tooth and the Tooth
Fairy came. She took my tooth and left me
$8.00.I put my $8.00 in my wallet because I
am saving up for an American Girl Doll. Her
name is Saige. 2013 is the only year she is
here. I think the tooth fairy is 2” tall. There
are so many secrets about the tooth fairy. I
wonder what his/her name is.

Traveling by car from place to place is sim-
ple, but what are some other ways to get
around? People that have to go a very long
distance, like several hundred miles or more
might take a plane. There’s also easy public
ground transportation like a bus or a train.
Kids who just want to go to and from places
but can’t yet drive a car could just ride a bike,
skateboard, rollerblade, or they could simply
walk. There’s always ways to get around, so
get up and go somewhere!

25th Year
Friday marked the 25th anniversary of Derby
Summer Arts. Monday we celebrated with ice
cream and cake; I am in tech theater so I am
doing the lighting for the play “Adaptation.”
I am so excited for my first year at Derby. I
am so coming back!

Sally
By Clelia Megwa
Age: 9
Sally has worked here since 1999. That’s 14
years! Sally’s daughter Maddie also works
here. She teaches J.R’s, music video class, a
capella, and Animal Art. Sally’s favorite mo-
saic was seashells and stars. Her favorite Fes-
tival that she will teach is the Fairy Houses.
Sally’s favorite painting that she made is
called “Fox At The Pond.” Sally met Thaila
at the Creative Arts Park. Then Thalia started
DSA the fowling year. And once her kids got
old enough to be campers Sally started teach-
ing mosaic’s here. And she “Loved It Ever
Since”!
This year was my fourth year at Derby Sum-
mer Arts. I took many good classes, and had
quite a bit of fun. I worked on a lot of pro-
jects that were very enjoyable to make. It
gave me a lot of experience and I got to cre-
ate things that were terrific in the end. I was
able to be a part of the 25th year of Derby
and I was happy that I could see such an im-
portant event for the camp. 2013 was a great
year for Derby and I bet 2014 will be even
better.
A Good Year

Well the summer of Derby has come to an
end and that means that it is time for the su-
per issue. For those who don’t know, the
super issue is a giant collection of articles that
were written specifically for it. The newspa-
per people make sure that it is filled with in-
teresting articles, drawings and all sorts of
other things. It replaces the small normal is-
sues that are given to campers throughout
the summer. The super issue is a big deal and
a lot of work goes into making it. Many peo-
ple create things to go into it and they put a
lot of effort into them. The super issue is
always great and this year isn’t any different.
So have a great time reading it and seeing
everything that people have done.

One of the coolest people here at the Weath-
ervane is Trevor, who likes to play bass and
electric guitar.
Trevor is very cool and smart. He started
playing bass since the day Dave Ruggiano
told him to play bass and it has been his fa-
vorite thing ever since. He started playing
electric guitar when he was five.

25th Anniversary Quilt By Trevor Bady and Andrew Levy
Age: 10 and 8
This is a quilt they
were making for
Thalia. It was a
surprise gift. They
used a sewing
maching and old T
shirt designs for
the squares.
I love to bake. I once baked a 2 layer cake. It
was awesome. I piped flowers and added
candy toppings that were blue. I thought that
it was the best cake that I ever made. It was
really fun to make! I also have made some
cupcakes. I usually make vanilla cupcakes but
I have once made blueberry cupcakes.

Breakfast is different for everyone. Some
have cereal, some have pancakes, and some
enjoy waffles or English muffins. People
don’t always have the standard “breakfast”
items sometimes you’re running late so you
eat some chocolate or pringles as you run out
the door. Breakfast is the most important
meal of the day, so as long as you eat some-
thing you’ll be fine.
Breakfast

Breakfast is said to be the most important
meal of the day because it gets you started
for the day. Without breakfast your body will
not have enough energy to function. It is
very important to have a healthy breakfast.
Try to make most of you grains whole grains.
Here are some healthy suggestio
