each year at Camp Laurelwood. However, as we all learned very quickly this summer, there is another natural factor which could trigger a massive change of schedule. On the 6th and 7th of July, the Tuesday and Wednesday of the second week of camp, the sun beamed down on Laurelwood with as much authority as could fry an egg on the side of the road. Even though Laurelwood in Madison, Conn. was only a microscopic fraction of the East Coast Heat Wave, the temperatures and humidity levels reaching absurd amounts made all of its residents sweat like never before, forcing water bottles to become a fixture on the clutches of their arms as a desire to leave our magic bubble was unanimously unpreventable. On the morning of July 6th, Barnett Goldman greeted the entire camp with the news that a heat wave was among us. Camp Director Ruth Ann Ornstein assured everyone that they would try to get all camp out of

the bubble that day, to a place that was cooler and something that everybody would enjoy. In the morning, the Seniors went ice skating at Northford Ice Rink, while the rest of camp stayed back to do activities which attempted to subdue the heat wave, like dipping in the pool or kayaking in the lake. By lunchtime, it was apparent that with the temperature reaching 100° F and over and people sweating from here to kazoo, Laurelwood had met their match with the Heat Wave and pleas to leave camp for a day were answered.

By Ethan Kwassman The first Shabbat at Laurelwood in 2010 was met with competition as the annual Counselors vs. Campers Day took place following Morning Services. This year began no different than previous years, with the typical smack talk from the Counselors, trying to avenge the defeats of previous years. As always, the Counselors were handicapped in various events. Even so, the Campers were primed to dominate the Counselors despite having several advantages. It would only be later in the day that the Campers would meet their match in Barnett Goldman's American Gladiators.

Campers Clobber Counselors, Gladiators Garnish Game of Dodgeball

Staff Showcases Talent, First Session Starts Off RightBy Ethan Kwassman On the first night of camp, over 300 campers flooded the Chuppa, eager to see the talent possessed by this year's staff core. From Rubik's Cube solving to Scottish dancing, the traditional Staff Talent Show was a fun-filled evening for all and a perfect start to camp. Even though the spotlight was on the staff, one intermission between acts was greeted with a dance party. Music was blasted from the speakers and then, led by one Junior girl, an onslaught of campers followed her on stage, jumping up and down. Thankfully, there were no casualties although many felt that it was like a mini-earthquake. Either way, campers got to participate in many ways from sing-a-longs to cheering on their counselors. The first act of the night would earn one particular counselor his nickname on the

first session roll call board. Jon Scheiber, a Junior division counselor, introduced the camp to the magic of the Rubik's Cube. He demonstrated some tricks with the cube like a checkered cube and then called up one camper to shuffle the cube. As Scheiber worked on solving the cube, the crowd chanted, “Solve the Cube!” Within four and a half minutes, the cube was solved to a rousing applause from the audience. From then on, Scheiber would be known as “Rubik's Cube.” In addition to intellectual skill, music and comedy would be the themes of the night to break the ice. Ilana Silverman, the

Music Specialist, performed a beautiful rendition of Taylor Swift's “Love Story” on the guitar and Chelsea Roffman, a Senior division counselor sang a stunning original song called “In Between” on the keyboard. As always, there was the always fun, entertaining skit of “A Day in the Life at Camp Laurelwood”, performed by some of the Super Senior and Bonim girls counselors and Head Staff. Campers also got a laugh out of the final act, a duet by Jake Andrews and Craig Barrows lip-syncing High School Musical's “Breaking Free.” Can you guess who dressed up and lip-sang as Vanessa Hudgens? By far, the most diverse acts of the night were Scottish dancing led by Volleyball specialist Craig Cowan and a skit on the toughness of Israelis performed by Or, Nim and Gil. Campers certainly got a taste of foreign culture as the talent show went on. All in all, the Chuppa rocked like never before and everybody went to bed that night looking forward to the first session.



Morning events included Junior Bunks 1,2 and 3 racing their counselors in Wacky Water competitions while Junior Bunks 4 and 5 challenged their counselors in a game of Water Polo. Counselors were unable to score or make saves with their hands, which forced them to

come up with creative ways of scoring and blocking shots on net. Senior morning events consisted of Capture the flag, Kickball, Softball and Wacky Races at Girls Field. The challenges only got more complex for the Counselors at these events. For example, Counselors had to get two flags to the Campers' one as well as being required to use their opposite hands and feet in Kickball. For one, Campers got to see their Counselors at their athletic worst, as coordination was at an all-time low while the hilarity entertainment value of it all was at an all-time high.

China's Comeback Sparks Climatic Victory in Big O 2010

...Continued from page 2 Before lunch, Junior Bunks 1,2 and 3 got an opportunity to run all over their Counselors in Soccer and Junior Bunks 4 and 5 dashed around the bases as their Counselors struggled to field cleanly in Kickball. Seniors participated in Water Events against their Counselors and the challenges only heightened for the opposition. Head Staff had a heck of a time watching the Counselors swimming with shirts and shorts on, unable to use their arms to make their way across the length of the pool. Super Seniors Right bunks took their turns outsmarting their Counselors in a Pop Culture Challenge while Super Seniors Left got their turn flexing their muscles in Wacky Races at Girls Field. After Rest Hour, Juniors 1-3 and Juniors 4-5 took advantage of their handicapped Counselors in Kickball and Wacky Races, respectively. The Counselors didn't do much better in Senior events such as Ultimate Frisbee, Nuke 'em, Pop

Culture Challenge and Dodgeball, either. When you can only use one hand to throw a Frisbee or a volleyball, it can certainly make a difference. It definitely seemed like Counselors vs. Campers Day was also a day for everyone to really appreciate their God-given attributes. Counselors definitely learned that the hard way when competing in events. Super Seniors got their turn to dip in the pool after Rest Hour as the Counselors came up on the short side in Water Races and Water Polo. In the final events of the day, it was pretty clear that this year wasn't going to be any different from past competitions. Campers dominated Junior events like Wacky Races and Dodgeball. In the Wacky Races, Counselors complained about having to do the Dizzy Izzy Relay Race with almost 3 times as many spins, but it was a lost cause. It was definitely a day for all the Campers to shine. Campers would close out the day dominating Super Senior events like Kickball, Pop Culture Challenge (Super Senior Left) and a Gaga challenge. Yet, all along a

certain group of Staff had been forming an army and were set to challenge the Campers' capabilities by night's end. In the Whole Camp Activity at Girls Field later that evening, the army of Staff referred to as The American Gladiators led by Barnett Goldman came ready to dodge, dip, duck, dive and dodge. That's right, you guessed correctly: the 5 D's of Dodgeball! The American Gladiators came dressed all out in red, white and blue from their bandanas down to their high socks. In addition to dodgeball, campers challenged the Gladiators in tug-a-war and obstacle courses. The dodgeball game began with 10 campers versus 10 Gladiators but eventually evolved into all the campers versus the Gladiators and several competitive counselors. It was definitely all-out mayhem, but it was nothing more than organized chaos and fun for all. The day concluded with Havdallah led by the Super Senior Girls at the Playground. In the end, winners of the day were the Campers, but the Gladiators galvanized all in the nightcap.

...Continued from page 1 On the first morning of the Big "O," it looked like Brazil and South Africa were slightly trailing China and Russia. However, Brazil and South Africa pulled themselves together and won big points in the Junior and Senior Track Meet and Super Senior Swim Meet. And to everyone's surprise, Brazil came out on top as of dinner that night. At team competitions involving toilet paper for mummifying a team member, passing a ball around a circle with people's chins and other wacky events, Russia and China won many events while Brazil and South Africa maintained a close competition. The next day, the Super Senior Brazilians and Russians did amazing at the track meet, winning 2nd and 1st respectively (Brazil 2nd and Russia 1st.) At the Junior Swim Meet, China

won more events than the other three teams. At Silent Lunch, no team lost points (better luck next time, head judges!), even though many people came close to losing points for their teams. At Team Competitions, Russia and South Africa won many events. Brazil and China were neck and neck in many of the athletic activities. At Tug of War that night, Brazil went undefeated, save one round and they took first place points with Russia, China and South Africa not far behind them. At the end of the second day, Brazil had maintained their lead over China, followed by South Africa and Russia. But overnight and during part of Day 2, Mother Nature decided to shake up the game a little. If you consider gallons of rain dampening the camp grounds, then that's what it was

like. Because of that, the Apache Relay was put off until after Rest Hour with Team Meetings taking up the entire morning after Cleanup. This change of pace gave all of the teams a lot of quality time to practice for the final night. South Africa won the Apache Relay by burning through their rope first, with Brazil taking 2nd, Russia claiming 3rd and China falling in last. At Singdown that night, all of the teams Plaques, Songs, Costumes and Alma Maters surpassed all of the judges’ expectations. The judges laughed along with the audience as the Skits were performed and throughly enjoyed the intermission dance performances. It certainly seemed like an extremely close race at night’s end. But in the end, it would be mighty China that would cheer their way to victory.

ButterflyA Poem by Sara Trueax

Sorrow in the black beady eyes has started dawn,The time has come,

And the time has gone.

Gentle breaths start to slow,My eyes start to water then stream.

I try to look, I try to go.

Gazing now at the sad sight,I try with all my might to go,

I almost stay until night.

The last breath stops,The wings stop beating.

Camper Corner: Blurbs from the Bubble

Breaking the Ice through “Big Sister, Little Sister”

By Breezie Miller, G-12

After dinner, last Monday night, everyone's awaiting “Big Sister, Little Sister,” our evening activity. All of Girls' Side is there, ready to go. We begin with one long line of seniors and one long line of juniors. Each girl chooses a slip of paper with a single word on it. They range from “under” to “lake” to “swimming” to “cone.” Then, we hear “Go!” We look for people with corresponding words. For “under”, it is “over.” For “lake,” it is “boating.” Before you know it, everyone is paired. Conversations go on between girls. People talk about everything from favorite colors to where you live. Soon, pieces of paper are passed out. We are asked to make a little information card with three interesting facts about ourselves. At the end of the night, we must separate. We've grown so close to each other in just one hour. However, it's alright because we'll see each other often. Girls campus is just a circle of bunks. Each one is relatively close to one another. Overall, “Big Sister, Little Sister” is an activity made to bring girls of different ages together and it is a great activity to break the ice. Especially on the second night of second session. So now, we all know, for the next three weeks, we'll have someone special

there for us. And even beyond camp, they'll be there for you.

Here at camp, we live in a bubble, largely secluded from the outside world. Here are some of the happenings at camp covered by our very Journalism Elective camper core...

Association Game Brings Girls Side Closer

By Brie Gershoni, G-12

Last Monday evening, all the juniors and seniors were waiting for their evening activity, “Big Sister, Little Sister,” to

begin. All of Girls Side was playing and giggling until finally it was time to begin. Each camper chose a single piece of paper blindly out of a bag. The Juniors chose from one bag while the Seniors chose from another. On each piece of paper there was one word. Each word had a match, like peanut-butter or sloppy joe. When we began, each camper looked for their “match.” Words were being yelled at top volume, hoping to find their big or little sister. Finally, when “swimming” found their “pool” and “pepper” found “salt”, they sat down together and got to know each other.

Though I knew my “sister” already, we grew even closer. As the crickets started to sing, we all knew

it was time for bed and that we would see each other another time.

Getting to Know Your Camp 'Sister' by Virtue of Paper

By Lexie Kelleher, G-8

Last Monday night, our evening activity was “Little Sister, Big Sister.” What we did was the Juniors and the Seniors were on different sides of Girls Campus and there was two bags that you had to pick a piece of paper from. Mine was York so I had to go and find a Junior with New, so I would have New York. Once you have found your match then she's your little sister or big sister. After you found your little sister or big sister you had to go sit by the fire pit. The counselors handed out paper and markers so you can write about yourself , in order for your little or big sister to know a little about you. In turn, both little and big sisters will have to look

after you for the rest of your time here!!!

...Continued from page 1 By the afternoon, the Sweat Day Schedule was in full effect. One of the running jokes of the day was: “I bet it is hotter here than wherever the Bonim are in Costa Rica right now.” In the afternoon, the Super Seniors and Juniors went to Cinema 12 Movies to see one of the hottest flicks of the summer, “The Karate Kid.” Many comparisons were made to the original “The Karate Kid,” after watching the film, as most movie-goers felt the 2010 version with Jaden Smith and Jackie Chan

followed the same plot lines as its precedent with alterations here and there, but ultimately that the original was slightly superior. Either way, with the camp taking up an entire movie theater, everyone got into the action-packed film, and not to mention, also enjoyed the popcorn, soda and the surround sound air-conditioning. By the time everyone returned back to camp for dinnertime, the Heat Wave had subdued for the time being. But Mother Nature was only prepping herself for July 7th. The next day, the

high temperature was only 96° F, but many remarked that it sure felt like it was a lot more than that. The Super Seniors and Seniors swapped trips as the Seniors went to see “The Karate Kid” and the Super Seniors went to Northford Ice Rink. The Juniors stayed at camp to cool off, playing as little dry sports as possible while spending most of their time in the water and inside cool facilities. After 48 hours, Mother Nature put a halt to her East Coast Heat Wave and the Super Seniors were able to take their planned biking trip to Hamanasset Beach without much difficulty.

The Karate Kid and Ice Skating Cap Off 48-Hour Heat Wave

Laurelwooders Look After One Another

By Barri Kandel & Lucy Frenkel, G-10

“Big sister little sister” is one of the greatest activities here at Laurelwood. It was a

way of meeting new people in camp. Last Monday night, each Junior girl was assigned to a different Senior girl. The way they were assigned was each Junior and Senior had to pick a word out of a hat. Inside the hat, there were different kinds of words. Seniors had to go around and find a Junior with a word that went along with their word. During this activity, we wrote on a piece of paper 3 facts about us, which your partner got

to keep. This was also a great activity because we got to make a new friend and know

that someone is looking after us and you are looking after them.

Boys Side Swings by the CampfireBy Teddy Maranets, B7

The night of the 26th, Senior & Junior girls did “Big Sister, Little Sister” on their campus while Senior & Junior boys had marshmallows at the campfire. Some kids were desperate to find sticks at the fire and some kids were

finding it hard to switch with another person. Either way, we all had a great time that night.

STILL WANTED

!

THE ILLUSTRIOUS “D TWAIN.” As we all learned in Issue One

We seek a certain mastermind of ropesAs we write now, our search has only begun

And news of his latest actions has only dampened our hopes

He still swings from tree to treeAnd climbs ladders that extend to moon

But there is a new daunting fear we now seeAnd that may involve a certain camp event real soon

As fast as the speed of the zip lineAs powerful as the flying squirrel and vertical vine

He is rumored to use those as part of his attackWhich may or may not affect teams Yellow, Red and Black

It's an event that captivates the entire camp each yearAnd now it is ever so here

It comes with its share of fake breaks and hypeAnd in the Mess Hall its evolving excitement is ever so ripe

So if you spot him after dark or hear his “Chuh” callJust give a holler to us and stand up tall

Watch out for the next “The D Twain” move For its all a part of his mantra and it'll put him in a groove

To halt the war which divides the camp each summerSo if you spot him and tame him as you may

Maccabiah this year may or may not be a bummerAnd rewards will be sure to come you way

This week's torah parshah is Re'eh.

Moses says to the people of Israel, ”I place before you today a blessing and a curse.” The blessing will come when they fulfill G-d's commandments, and the curse if they abandon them. Moses tell them that these should be proclaimed on Mount Gerizim and Mount Eibal when the people cross over into the Holy Land. Once in the Holy Land, Moses says, the people of Israel should establish a temple in “the place that G-d will choose to make His name dwell there.” In Jerusalem, a tenth of all produce is to be eaten, or else exchanged for money with which food is purchased and eaten there. This refers to the mitzvah of charity, which obligates a Jew to aid a needy fellow with a gift or loan. Ultimately, this week's parshah teaches us to give charity to those who are less fortunate than us and to never take what we have for granted, because a blessing can easily become a curse.

And that's this week in Torah. Source: Chabad.org

From the Layout Desk:An inside look at The Laurel Letter

by Jon “Rubik's Cube” Scheiber

Many of you may be wondering whyevery newspaper that is created by thegenius minds of the Laurel Letter staffachieves positive feedback for its notorious writers & infamous articles.

To start, my job as layout and design guy is to take all of the various articles, features, puzzles, and pictures that are given to me by my various journalistic cronies and arrange them constantly, similar to a jigsaw puzzle, until they fit together into something like you are reading today.

The truth is, well, we really have no secret formula. There is no magic paper, and we don’t write our articles using wands. The key to the awesomeness that this newspaper contains between its slices of trees is all in the wonderful people behind it. From the Laurel Letter staff and campers, we hope you enjoy this excellent issue.
