Last I interviewed 17 year old

Emma Jones, she is counselor

assistant for Book Cooks. She

enjoys being the counselor assis-

tant for Book Cooks. She ex-

plained that “while the counselor

is running back and forth from

the kitchen I read the stories to

the little kids and help them out.”

If you wish to sign up your child

for this camp or join in on anoth-

er week. Sadly you will have to

wait for the 2017-2018 summer

to join in because this was Book

Cooks last week. All in all I would

recommend this camp for par-

ents with small children who love

stories and learning how to make

delicious recipes.

Earlier this week I went down to

Academy at the Lakes and went

to their Lower Division and found

Book Cooks and some young little

campers drawing some funny

faces on paper and preparing a

dish with English muffins, cheese

and ham It looked like they were

having fun so I decided to go see

what all the fun is about.

I spoke to Lorenzo Bogato who is

8 years old and goes to Academy

at the Lakes. He said they make 2

dishes a day. They make one in

the first half of their camp and

they go take a break and play on

the playground. They come back

in and make another dish. He

says he enjoys camp at Academy

at the Lakes.

Next, I spoke to Cole Genovese

he is 5 years old and goes to

Academy at the Lakes as well. He

said he enjoys camp at Academy

at the Lakes. He also told me that

one day they made pancakes

after reading a story about some

bunnies who made some pan-

cakes. He loves the cooking part

of Book Cooks.

Upon arriving at archery camp in

the morning, I noticed they were

ready to shoot and have a lot of

fun, partly because they were in

the cool shade of the pavilion. I

was able to interview, Evan, a

CA, who is in 11th grade. He

said it is fun for him to instruct

kids as well show them how to

have a good time. They usually

they do a contest on Friday be-

cause the kids need more time to

improve there’re skills during the

week. Evan’s favorite thing in the

camp is to coach the campers

and model for good shooting

technique so they get better. On

Tuesdays the campers learn

about different bows. The next

day they practice with the bows.

Evan say, “Overall the kids pro-

gress over time.

I also interviewed a camper who

attends John Long Middle School

and has been a camper at Acade-

my at the Lakes for three years.

Every year he has chosen archery

camp in the morning. His favor-

ite achievement in the camp is

getting a bullseye. He usually uses

a 20 pound bow to shoot. This

year is his best because he sees

himself getting better with his

accuracy and precision. The next

time you sign up for camp at

Academy at the Lakes, give ar-

chery a try. It is on point!

Fun for the Fidgety by Anthony & Stephanie Morales

Five Night at Freddy’s by Kylee Guerra

Five Night at Freddy’s or

FNAF is a video game made by

Scott Cothen. This game is a

thriller and a scary scary

game!!

I personally would recommend

this game because I love scary

games.

The first game is a little bor-

ing.

The second game is really

intense and fun because it has

more characters than the first

one.

The third one is very very

very INTENSE. You must re-

boot the video system, but

watch out for the mischief

bunny of the hour…

SPRINGTRAP.

The fourth one is not scary, it

is TERRIFYING because of the

nightmare animatronics. I

would not recommend this

game.

The newest game, called Sister

ite! It is very fun and exciting.

Fun with Flag Football by Elli Wease

P A G E 3 V O L U M E 1 , I S S U E 1

This year Academy at the

Lakes is having a flag football camp.

When I arrived this camp, full of

boys, was playing Pacman a type of

tag game. I was able to speak to a

camper and the coach about what

makes this camp amazing.

7 year old Parker Wease, who

attends Wesley Chapel Elementary

School was one of the campers I

was able to interview. When I

asked him what do you do in this

camp? He replied, “Flag Football,

Sharks and Minos, and sometimes

Pacman.” He signed up for this

camp because he likes flag football

and has not played in a long time.

He excitedly said he would sign up

for this camp next year. He also

added, “My favorite part is when

we play flag football games.

Coach Brown coaches track, girls

high school basketball, and high

school football. He likes to teach

this camp because he likes to play

football with the kids. Next I asked

why should someone attend this

camp? Coach Brown responded to

my question with a laugh “because

we play fun games, and work on

flag football skills.”

I was able to conclude flag football

would be a great camp to attend.

onto a heating pan. Add chocolate

then you’re all set for your pan-

favorite chocolate pancake recipe.

“We hope that by

reading today’s

edition, you will

get that same

YUMMY feeling.”

History of Pancake by Samantha Morales We named our newspaper Flap-

jack Times because we thought it

was simple, sounded good, and

reminded our readers of the

delicious taste of hot, buttery,

syrupy pancakes. We hope that

by reading today’s edition, you

will get that same YUMMY feel-

ing.

We also encourage you to try one

of our favorite pancake recipes.

Read on to find out more about

the history of flapjacks AKA pan-

cakes.

In France, people like to make

a wish before flipping their

pancakes. They do this while

holding a coin in the other

hand.

Freshly fallen snow had been

used as a secret ingredient in

pancakes, before baking soda

was invented, this gave the

pancakes a soft texture.

One of the most popular top-

ping on pancakes is maple

syrup, which is actually a sweet

tree sap that comes from the

maple tree found in Canada.

Maple syrup was first discov-

ered by Native Americans.

It is customary in France to

touch the handle of the frying

pan and make a wish while the

pancake is turned, holding a

coin in one hand.

Maple Syrup was originally a

sweet drink, discovered by the

Algonquin Indians who collect-

ed sap from Canadian sugar

maple trees and then boiled to

produce the delicious bever-

age.

It is customary in France to

touch the handle of the frying

pan and make a wish while the

pancake is turned, holding a

coin in one hand.

Pancakes have a long history,

dated back to the times of

Ancient Romans and it was

believed in the Middle Ages

that the first three pancakes

cooked were spiritual. They

were each marked with a

cross before being sprinkled

with salt and then set aside to

ward off evil.

gressive autobot. He jokes around

a lot with the Autobots and Decep-

ticons in a cocky manner. Bumble-

bee is the color yellow and he is a

charming scout and will do anything

to improve his assistance to the

team.

The leaders of each team are Opti-

mus Prime and Megatron. Megatron

leads the Decepticons in a cruel

and harsh way. He will threaten his

teammates in order to have them

listen to his commands.

Optimus on the other hand is much

more patient and noble to his team.

He will always have a good word

on certain choices his team makes

Overall, Transformers More than

Transformers “More than Meets

show to watch.

So it all started in a galaxy far away

on a big planet called Cybertron.

There was a war on Cybertron

with two different teams. These

teams were the Autobots and the

Decepticons.

The Autobots leader is named Op-

by the ancient leaders of the Au-

from Cybertron on the same ship,

but fought each other on the way.

They ended up crashing on Earth

billions of years ago and woke up in

present time. They have battles in

the show that make up each unique

episode.

unique characters in personalities

I love anime!!

My Top Recommended Anime Lauren Montes De Oca

You might have a friend that

say like “Omg I love anime so

much” and I bet you might

have been like “What in the

world is anime?” Well here’s a

brief explanation of anime.

Anime is cartoon that originat-

ed in japan or an author came

up with manga series and it

was turned into an anime se-

ries. Also manga is graphic

novel of anime and manga is

pronounced Ma-n-Ga. The A

in the begging is pronounced

like Ah so think of it as MAH-

GA note it is NOT spelled

MAHNGA its spelled MAN-

GA. Also anime’s can also

originate from video games

some examples are Dangan-

ronpa and IdolM@sters.

There are many companies

that translate anime from Japa-

nese to English an example of

one is Funimation.

But wait your probably won-

dering “Where do I watch

anime?” Well there are many

options but here’s what I

would recommend to watch it

off of www.kissanime.io , Net-

flix and crunchy roll. Anime is

either subbed or dubbed.

Subbed is when the anime is in

Japanese but there are subti-

tles at the bottom telling you

what the characters are saying

in English. Dubbed is when

there are no subtitles and the

characters are speaking in

English.

Although I’ve have had more

people tell me that they prefer

subtitles rather it speaking in

English the choice is up to you

to watch it whether you want

to watch it with subtitles or in

English.

Now onto the part you’ve

been waiting for anime I rec-

ommend for people who are

just starting to watch anime.

Fairy Tail

Fairy Tail is about a girl named

Lucy Heartfillia who wishes to

join a magical guild named

Fairy Tail. But when she meets

Natsu Dragneel her wish

comes true. Together adven-

tures await them and trouble

seems not stop following them.

Sword Art Online

A proper abbreviation for this

anime is SAO. SAO is about a

virtual reality video game

where thousands of players

have already logged on but

little do they know that the

creator of the game has them

trapped in the game till some-

one can beat the boss on floor

100. Once they knew about

the threat a boy name Kirito is

determined to beat the boss

and return to the real world as

he makes new friends along

the way.

Sailor Moon

This anime goes back to the

90’s. Sailor Moon is about a

girl named Serena one day she

discovers that she is the leg-

endary warrior Sailor Moon

and she has to fight the evil

minions of the Negaverse

while also finding the other

Sailor Scouts and defeat the

evil queen Beryl.

Yuri On Ice!!!

This anime won best anime of

2016. After Yuri’s failure dur-

ing the current ice skating

season he decides to retire but

not to Victor he won’t. Victor

is gold medal winning ice skat-

er from Russia. He meets Yuri

at his parents Inn and he offers

to coach him and Yuri agrees

together Yuri and victor work

together to win the gold will

succeed or will he fail.

Seraph of the End

A Virus that kills people 13 or

older kills many people but not

only that but vampires have

now invaded into the human

world and take whatever hu-

mans that are alive as livestock.

Among those kids there are 2

orphans Yuu and Mika for 4

years they lived in the vampire

city. Until Mika comes up with

a plan to escape but little did

they know the vampires knew

about their plan and only Yuu

was able to escape. Where did

Yuu go after he escaped and

will he ever see Mika again?

My Favorite Pancake Recipe by Lauren Montes de Oca

Fun for the Little Ones by Kylee Guerra Today I traveled across the

campus to visit the youngest

campers on the Academy at

the Lakes campus. Little Rec is

specially designed for three

and four year olds. I wanted to

check out this camp because

three and four year olds are

the cutest age! In addition,

they just starting to speak,

often with a little lisp.

When I entered the classroom,

I saw a shelf full of books and a

student immediately asking me

to read Five LIttle Monkeys

Jumping on the Bed to her. For

a brief time I shared the book

and pictures, but as with most

preschoolers, she only attend-

ed to the book for a short

while. Then she walked away

to join her class to go outside.

I interviewed little four year

old Owen Wells. Owen is in

Pre Kindergarten and attends

Academy at the Lakes. He

explained that he plays, sings,

and takes naps. After I talked

to him he had to finish some-

thing very important. This was

his bag of oreos. After every-

one was finished with their

snacks they went outside to

play in the baby pools.

When they were outside, little

Naomi Steward, Daniel Carr,

and Owen splashed into the

pools. While Victoria Peter-

son, and Chloe Thomas head-

ed straight to the green and

purple sand box.

I also interviewed 17 year old

Cassidy Fowler, who is a coun-

selor at Little Rec. She attends

AATL. I asked her why little

ones should experience this

camp. “This camp is great for

your 3-4 year olds, because

they get to interact with other

kids and gets lots of exercise.”

One things is for sure, pre-

schoolers will never be bored

in Little Rec!!

Led Zeppelin by Colin Walker

P A G E 1 1 V O L U M E 1 , I S S U E 1

I want to be a musician when I grow up and I am inspired by the great band Led Zeppelin.

Ask me any questions about the band and I will know the

answer. Here’s an introduc-

tion.

Led Zeppelin formed in 1968. Before that Jimmy Page was in a band called the Yard Birds. Jimmy Page with his guitar with a dragon painted on it. In 1968 the Yard Birds broke up.

Jimmy Page had a friend, and his name was John Paul Jones. He was a base player, he heard that Jimmy Page was forming a band. John called Jimmy and asked if he could join the band.

Jimmy said that John could join the band. Jimmy went to look for new band members.

Jimmy Page found Robert Plant in West Bromwich, Staffordshire England. Jimmy had Robert plant join the band, but jimmy needed a drummer still.

It so happens Robert had a friend who was a drummer but was already in a band.

Jimmy found him and per-suaded the drummer John Bonham to quit the band and join Jimmy’s band.

Finally Jimmy had a band John Paul Jones, Robert Plant, and John Bonham. First they came out with Led Zeppelin 1 their first album.

Jimmy Page bought a Les Paul guitar in 1969 from him. Jimmy Page used the guitar until 1973 which is when they filmed the song “Remains the Same,” a famous Led Zeppelin con-cert. In 1974 Jimmy Page bought a backup Les Paul guitar.

Cook pancakes on a griddle that

has been preheated on medium

In 1975 Robert Plant got sick from smoking so his voice was a little hoarse. In September, 1980 John Bonham died. Without John Bonham Led Zeppelin broke up. In 1988 Led Zep-pelin reformed with the son of John Bonham, Jason Bonham but this was the only time they reformed.

In 2007 they reformed better than ever with Ja-son Bonham and that was the last they played. Rock on and follow your dreams!

Wimbledon Tennis Tournament Update by Michael Jiang

Roger Federer has won the

Wimbledon Tennis Tourna-

ment championship!

You can see the replay live on

Wednesday 8 pm. You can see

him going in action, not holding

back.

It was 5-5 when he made the

final strike and ending the

match and winning the champi-

onship. He hit some breathtak-

ing shots during the champion-

ship match.

He won all 3 sets, first set 6-3,

second set 6-1, and third set 6-

4.

Playing against Marin Cilic, he

was a game early opponent,

but still Federer wasn’t holding

back like I said and Cilic lost

control but quickly stepped up

and brought up his A game.

Both of them were playing

hard, trying their best in the

match. Cilic made some amaz-

ing scenes as well, too. There

was a lot going on and the fans

kept their eyes peeled on the

action. Anyways, you can see

the replay on Wednesday, so

you can be able to see the

action.

Lewis and Clark’s “Duo of Art” by Denzyl Downing

P A G E 1 3 V O L U M E 1 , I S S U E 1

I love science and I am fasci-nated by the plethora of new

species discovered by the great expedition team of Lew-

is and Clark. Read on to find out more about this dynamic

duo!

Lewis and Clark are known to be some of the most hard-

working and smartest explor-ers to ever exist. They have

gathered so much

information about the Louisiana Pur-

chase and the Ore-gon Country that no

one had ever known. Lewis and Clark

should be taught for education purposes more often to teach

students about their study habits; fortunately, to improve

a student’s note taking and

studying for any class.

Meriwether Lewis and Wil-

liam Clark were both born in Virginia. Lewis was born on

August 18th, 1774. Clark was born on August 1st, 1770.

Both of these men are experi-enced woodsmen, explorers,

and army officers. In the

1800s, Virginia was the

richest and most populated British colony to exist.

This was also the time that the Declaration of Inde-

pendence, Bill of Rights, and Constitutional Con-

vention took place. Both men worked for the U.S. president, Thomas Jeffer-

son, to explore the new Louisiana Purchase and the

Oregon Country. They split up into two groups

and have succeeded to cross both areas and come

back within two years.

Lewis and Clark’s discov-eries are some of the best

to ever be discovered. From learning over 200

new plant and animal spe-

cies to planning new agri-cultural uses of the new

areas. Lewis and Clark as a team have worked their

butts off, exploring almost half of the now United

States of America. The reason Lewis and Clark

have succeeded their jour-ney to explore the Louisi-

ana Purchase and Oregon Country is because of their

skilled and detailed note taking. Study and take

notes like the dynamic duo, Meriwether Lewis

and William Clark.

learning are catching fish and

building tents. I wondered

what Sofia likes about the

camp and she explained, “I like

that you can go fishing and it’s

a really good opportunity (to

learn how to survive).”

Next I interviewed CA Ms.

Jessica. Ms. Jessica has a fun

time being a CA because she

wants to be around kids. As a

CA she watches the campers

The day I visited Trailblazers

Camp, I observed them build-

ing blue and gray tents behind

the gymnasium on the grassy

lawn. The campers were all

smiles as they worked togeth-

er and cooperated to fix the

tents. I looked forward to

interviewing the campers to

find out why Trailblazers Camp

is fun.

4th grader Sofia attends Odes-

sa School. She explained what

and makes sure that there safe.

All in all, Trailblazers Camp is a

wonderful three hours to in-

teract and learn how to camp

consider joining Trailblazers

Camp!!

Harry Potter by Elli Wease Harry Potter is a magical char-

acter made by JK Rowling.

Harry Potter has many stories

told in different ways in books

and in movies. JK Rowling’s

Harry Potter books have won

many awards. JK Rowling also

created Harry’s best friends

Hermione Granger, Hagrid,

and Ronald Weasley.

There are 8 Harry Potter

books and 8 movies starting

with The Sorcerers Stone ending

with The Cursed Child.

Harry Potter is known as the

boy who lived, after Lord

Voldemort killed Lily and

James Potter. He tried to kill

Harry but the power of love

took over so he couldn’t. After

his parents death, Professor

Albus Dumbledore left Harry

with his Aunt Petunia, Uncle

Vernon, and his annoying

cousin Dudley. After that Har-

ry lived a miserable life with

the Dursleys.

After 11 years there was still

one thing Harry didn’t know.

He didn’t know he was a wiz-

ard, until one day Harry went

to get the mail and a letter

from Hogwarts was right there

for him. Harry went inside to

open the letter but Dudley

snatched it out of his hands

and Uncle Vernon took it from

him and ripped it up. For the

next week Hogwarts letter

kept coming through the chim-

ney, mail, and owls. So the

Dursleys and Harry went to a

little shack on an island. On

the first night Hagrid burst in

and told harry he was a wizard.

Within that second Harry’s

whole life changed.

After that Harry went with

Hagrid to Diagon Alley to buy

his wizard supplies for Hog-

warts. A couple weeks later

Harry started school at Hog-

warts, was put in Gryffindor,

Made the Quidditch team, met

his enemy Draco Malfoy, and

met his least favorite teacher

Professor Snape. Right there

he started his many adventure

such as killing Voldemort, kill-

ing a basilisk and many more.

In the movie Harry Potter is a

Daniel Radcliffe. Ronald Wea-

sley is as Rupert Grint. Hermi-

one Granger is Emma Watson.

Professor Snape is Alan Rick-

man. Draco Malfoy is Tom

Felton. Hagrid is Robbie Col-

trane. Albus Dumbledore is

Richard Harris. Petunia Durs-

ley is Fiona Shaw. Vernon

Dursley is Richard Griffiths.

Dudley Dursley is Harry

Melling. Voldemort is Richard

Bremmer.

I can go ahead and say Harry

Potter seems like an exciting

series.

Flag Football - Break Time!! by Davis Kincade

P A G E 1 5 V O L U M E 1 , I S S U E 1

When I think of Flag Football

Camp, drills come to mind. Taking

a ball and running to the other side

of the cone. They are developing

their speed. It felt very exciting

when I visited this camp.

Coach Brown

likes teaching

Flag Football.

He can have

fun with kids

and watch

them learn

how to play

the sport.

Flag football

is a great way

to play the

sport of foot-

ball and learn

it without any full contact. He

allows them to play a game called

Pac-man for strategy practice.

There are drills they do such as

doing running back plays. This is

great practice to remember how

certain positions play in the sport.

Sven is going into 4th grade and he

says he likes watching the sports

movies Coach Brown provides for

them. One of the movies they

watched was called Air Bud. This

movie was about a dog that was

good at sports. These movies are

great for younger children to enjoy

the concept of sports. All of the

kids love summer camp Flag Foot-

ball and recommend it to other

students during the summer who

want to learn about football. If you

want to be a future Tampa Bay

Buccaneer, you should sign up for

Flag Foot Camp at Academy at the

Lakes!

My Favorite Pancakes by Stephanie Morales DIRECTIONS

In large bowl, whisk eggs, milk,

yoghurt and lemon zest until

smooth.

Add flour and sugar and whisk

again until smooth.

Batter should be dropping

consistency; if too thick, add

more milk; if too runny, and

add more flour.

Heat large skillet/pan to medi-

um. I don't use a spray as long

as pans are nonstick. Test heat

of pan by dropping water on it;

water should sizzle in drops.

Using 1/4 cup measure, drop

batter into pan ( I get three

per pan) and cook until bub-

bles form and pop on surface

(sides will start to look cooked

rather than runny), flip and

cook until golden. Second side

will only take 30-60 seconds.

Serve hot, in stacks of three,

layered with bacon strips. Top

with banana and raspberries,

and of course (real) maple

syrup! Yum!
