Editorial-Smoking I have a
strong feeling against smoking. Basically
you start then usually you can't stop.
Also it does a lot of damage to your body.
It doesn't look very cool either! Usually
people start smoking because they think
it's cool or to be in a group. Then it
becomes an addiction. Some people try to
quit but for many it is already too
late. In my opinion
if you smoke you are opening a door for
lung cancer or possibly other cancers or
diseases. The damage it does to you is
unbelievable! Are your loved ones in
danger if u smoke? Yes!! Your
loved ones are in danger is you smoke.
Second hand smoking is almost as bad as
first hand. Therefore if you smoke
your family is
going to be hurt too. Are you
thinking of smoking? Think again. Remember
the cost of cigarettes does add up over
the years. It's also like throwing your
money away. You're risking you life for
nothing. Think it over and I hope you
never smoke. Nowadays there
are commercials trying to tell people
not to smoke. Each cigarette box shows
you what smoking can do to you and your
lungs. So no matter what you do now and in
life think smart. DON'T
SMOKE! Nikki

Artical-Soccer My
favourite activity and sport is soccer. I
discovered this sport at age 7. At age
nine I started the full size field. Since
the start my team lost every game. I was
really close to not going back. At age ten
that all turned around. My dad coached.
Basically he knew nothing about soccer.
After that year he took a course. He
worked with the goalies and the
forwards. During the
2000-2001 season we acomplised a lot as a
team. We won the Gateway community club
tournament twice in a row. We won the
Divisional B playoffs. In 2001 we made it
to the cities B championships but lost in
the semifinals. This summer I
worked hard on my soccer skills.
But,unfortunately I got injured before the
cities. I played injured for the rest of
the season. My strength in soccer would
have to be the way I dribble the ball. I
am always working to improve my kicking.
Maybe someday it will improve. My
favourite way of scoring would be a
breakaway. I play forwards in outdoor
soccer and rarely anything else. Yet, in
indoor soccer I play
midfield. All and all
soccer is my favourite sport! I play it
all year round. Someday I hope to be on
the Canadian National Womens Team, but for
now I'll just stick to trying to make the
'A' team next year. Nikki
Bryk Movie
Review-Remember the Titans "Remember the
Titans" is a great movie!! I would
definitely rate this movie a four and a
half out of five stars!! It's a great
movie for about ages eight and up. Anyone
can watch this movie
anytime!! This movie is
about football and racism. It's based on a
true story in the 1970's. The outline is
about combining an all black school with
an all white school. This became a problem
especially on the football team. I found
it very motivating and touching!! The
acting, music, and story line is
spectacular!! If you like football you
will LOVE this movie!! If not it is still
an excellent movie to see!! I would
definitely and always recommend this
movie!! Nikki
Bryk My aunt is Alexis
Kochan is the best aunt ever. First of all, for my
birthday we always go to McNally Robinsons and get
books then we go to the cafe and eat. She has
always helped me in my voice whether it be for
try-outs or just for fun. Also, she was the first
one to put a bandanna on me when I was a baby, and
now I wear them all the time. She is a great musician
whether it be the piano, singing, or just the
recorder. She was a piano and music teacher for a
long time. Now she has her own band. She is a
famous Ukrainian folk singer. She has been many
places and travelled a lot. I love my
aunt!! Nikki
Bryk Dear Canadian Kid, I have a friend who plays soccer with me. You see,she kind of needs help in soccer. She can't really run or kick. They're tiering the teams next year. They are going to make an 'A' team, 'B' team,and 'C' team.I know she won't be on the same team as me. How can I tell her? Soccer Dilemma.
Dear Soccer Dilemma, You should tell her that she should practise running and kicking before they make up the teams. You should say that she might not be on the same team as you unless you practise. From,Canadian Kid Dear Canadian Kid, My friend is too hyper! She loves being hyper and she knows it drives everyone nuts! The bad part is that besides being hyper she also sings. It's bad enough that I can't even walk beside her without being stared at by everyone because she is singing two octaves too high and ten time too loud!! I don't think I can take it anymore!! How can I tell her to relax?!?! Hyper Pal,HELP!!
Dear Hyper Pal,HELP!!, You should say to her that she is being to hyper and it annoys you. If she keeps being hyper tell her parents to sit down and talk to her. Then go and find another friend until she gets the picture. From,Canadian Kid

Poem-Seasons Dew drops on the fresh spring grass. April showers are coming down fast. Sunny mornings, cold nights. Birds come back from their flights.
Summer sun, is loads of fun. Swimming in cold water, cools me off. Best of all, school is off!
Fall leaves, flutter from the trees. It's starting to get chilly. The sun stops shining, and the birds go south by flying.
Winter breeze, makes me freeze. It's the coldest season of all! It snows all day and night, but at least the sun provides daily light. Nikki Bryk |

Short Story-The Threat When I was in grade 4 something happened to my school. It all started when the fire bell rang. We all assumed it was another drill. So, as always we walked outside and waited. After about ten minutes we all started to worry considering we were moving back gradual and the bell didn't stop ringing. Finally we went to the lot of the community club behind the school. there we were informed there was a bomb in our school. Everyone was scared and they started calling parents. We waited and waited. my mom was one of the first parents to come. When we got home she called other parents. A n hour or so later everyone was informed there was no bomb and it was a threat. All the kids were taken inside the school and ate their lunches there,while waiting for their parents. This wasn't the only school to get a bomb thereat. Looking back this was pretty scary, espically since I was in grade four. I well always remember this experience.

My Thoughts on Making this Magazine I enjoyed making this magazine. The quiz was hard, yet interesting to make because for a few of the questions I had to look up the answers. I liked making my editorial about smoking for the fact that I got to state my option on smoking. The short story was different because I had to think up an interesting event that I was involved in. The poem was relatively hard to think up. The feature artical was fun to write because I got to write about something I'm good at and, like. Overall I thought this was a very interesting project to do.
