Movie Review: Us, the new horror movie by Jordan Peele

BY GABRIEL DEL ROSARIO Harbor Beach High School HARBOR BEACH — The new horror movie, Us, from well-known comedian and Academy Award winning writer/director Jordan Peele, is proof that the man has some serious talent and is here to

stay as one of the great filmmakers of our time.

After watching his first directorial effort with Get Out, I was pumped to see what twisted stories Peele would have up his sleeve.

The film follows a family of four visiting Santa Cruz for their summer vacation, but

everything goes south when a family that looks eerily identical to them start wreaking havoc.

First thing I want to mention is the musical score by Michael Abels. Phenomenal. My jaw dropped when I was watching the opening credits and listening to that haunting yet

surprisingly beautiful chorus.

From that point on, I knew I was in dark territory and in good hands.

The cinematography and editing are also spot on. Speaking of that dark territory, from the moment the evil clones of the family showed up to the end credits, I kept asking

myself, "What am I watching right now?" but in the best way possible. The movie kept getting so strange as it went along that my jaw dropped countless times. Keep in mind, there are legitimately funny moments sprinkled throughout, but they See HORROR page 3

The Dorcas Pendell shipwreck

BY ETHAN PAWLOWSKI Harbor Beach High School

This picture shows just a small portion of the destruction from uncontrollable flames caused as they ravished our lands over a century ago.

A Glimpse of the Great Fire

BY BRIANNA BOOMS Harbor Beach High School HARBOR BEACH — The great fire of 1881 was a time of great loss for the Thumb of Michigan.

Between Sept. 4 and Sept. 6, 1881, around 282 lives were taken, and 3,400 buildings were destroyed in this tragic fire.

Several counties in the Thumb area were affected, including Tuscola, Huron, Sanilac, and St. Clair counties.

HARBOR BEACH — The Dorcas Pendell shipwreck was a schooner built in 1884, later burning down during route on July 6, 1994.

The boat sank in Harbor Beach, Michigan, and is now mainly visited by many tourists during the summer on paddle boards and kayaks.

The ship has been well preserved due to good water conditions and is just below the surface of the water so it is very viewable.

This is an image of the Dorcas Pendell shipwreck, located off the coast of Harbor Beach.

A day in the life of this Harbor Beach Student

BY BEN ROGGENBUCK Harbor Beach High School HARBOR BEACH — It’s quarter to six on a cool April morning when the silence is suddenly cut by a quick pulsing, loud alarm.

Most people wince at even the thought of waking up this early, but not me.

My name is Benjamin Roggenbuck, son of Timothy and Rebecca Roggenbuck. I am 17 years old and currently a Junior at Harbor Beach High School. I also attend the Huron Area Technical Center in the Power Technology program.

Today I'll be running y’all through an average day of an active FFA member, student at the local Tech center, NHS member, and so much more.

I start my mornings so early because I am currently the proud owner of two show steers for the fair and some feeders I bought to expand my SAE (Supervised Agricultural Experience) in dairy/beef placement and the animals don't just feed themselves.

My dad always tells me there isn't any money in an empty manger, and I take pride in making sure my livestock always have clean feed, water, and bedding.

In the summer, I'll take one of my show steers to the fair and show it as a market Holstein.

The rest of them will be either be taken to Cass City and auctioned off, go into our freezer or get sold to a family friend.

After I’m done with chores, I like to change my clothes and get a good breakfast and get to school around 7:30.

Once I’m at school, I will normally sit in my vehicle until it's time to get on the Tech bus.

After a short ride to Bad Axe, I make my way to the Power Tech. room and either fill out my math sheet or answer the question on the board. Normally, we sit in the classroom and learn about the things we’re working on until break and then after break, get out into the shop and use our hands on the things we just studied in the classroom.

I love the tech center and I cannot recommend it enough to people who hate bookwork

This is from the presentation of the Parliamentary Procedure Trophy at state convention. and sitting around all day.

Through Tech Center, I've had the opportunity to join the Innovative Vehicle Design (IVD).

Earlier in the year, every school participating in IVD received the same go-kart with a gas motor and we were to swap the motor to electric and make it our own way following the rules and guidelines the organization sets.

Once the cart is complete, we take it to a track with all the other groups and run it through some tests where the best cart is the winner.

After the bus ride back to Harbor Beach, we go to lunch, then we have some free time that I normally use to finish up homework. After the bell rings, I go to my ag. class, environmental science. We are currently studying for Career Development events (CDE).

This year, I am doing the land conservation contest, a contest I’ve placed top three both years I’ve done it on the local level and earned a silver last year at the state level.

Land conservation involves finding the texture color and slope of an area of land and solving problems like erosion.

I love the FFA, and I am currently serving as the vice president of my chapter.

FFA has brought me so many awesome opportunities, competing at the state level twice for parliamentary procedure and a scholarship to attend the Washington Leadership Conference this summer in our great nation's capital, just to name a few.

HORROR Continued from Page 1 are few and far between.

I must not forget to mention that the film brilliantly manages to have social commentary like Get Out did, but with more subtlety and even more heavy themes under the surface. On top of that,

One of the biggest goals I have set for myself is to serve as a state officer after high school. If it wasn’t for FFA, I wouldn't be the man I am today.

Many of my new friends don't believe me when I tell them that my freshman year, I was a quiet kid that didn't have much to say. I think one of the reasons I've been able to be so successful is the constant support from not only my parents, but my Advisor, Mrs. Blacker.

If anyone is on the fence about joining FFA, do it: It's a one-of-a-kind roller coaster ride.

After fifth hour, I have English, taught by Mrs. Roggenbuck. English is probably my hardest subject, and Mrs. Roggenbuck is always pushing us to do our best. My favorite part of English is all the unique projects we do on the books we read.

Who knew making a comic about a car crash would be so much fun.

After English, I have algebra 2 taught by Mrs. Pfaff.

Algebra 2 can be hard at times, but Mrs. Pfaff is a great teacher and there's always tutoring after school if you need extra help.

I take pride in being a Harbor Beach Pirate, I love the community around our school and all the support for the sports teams and other extracurricular activities.

After school, I do different things depending on the day.

On days I don't have work, I like to hit the weight room to train for football this coming

the movie also manages to be quite scary and intense not just with the bloody stuff, but also with the thought of dying at the hands of your own evil doppelganger.

Finally, the acting in this movie is incredible, especially Lupita Nyong’o.

Her performance as both the mother and her doppelganger was outstanding. I got goosebumps

This picture was taken at the 2018 Harbor Beach FFA Banquet. fall. On days I do work, I go home, change my clothes, grab a quick snack, and hop in my pickup and drive to one of the most modern dairies in the county, Prime Land Farm.

Prime land has six Lely Astronaut robotic milkers running 22 hours, seven days a week, stopping twice a day to clean themselves.

On Prime Land, I am responsible for checking the computer to make sure all the girls have visited the milkers and fetching the ones that haven’t. After I fetch, I scrape all the manure out of the barn and push it into the lagoon.

I really enjoy working at Prime Land, all the cows are happy and I’m blessed to have a great group of guys to work with.

After work, I’ll go home, throw my clothes in the wash, get some food, and do my homework. If I get done with my homework at a decent time, I like to play some video games with my buddies from school or my younger brothers. Then I go to sleep and do it all over again the next day.

In my free time, I like to volunteer, spend time with my buddies wrenching on stuff, or doing odd jobs on the farm.

One of my favorite things

when she first started talking as the doppelganger. The rest of the family and their doppelgangers did an excellent job of conveying different characteristics that were required of them.

At the end of the day, Us is one of the heck of a horror thrill-ride and another fine addition to Jordan Peele’s prospering filmography.

to do is participate in our parish’s new Youth Group.

We get assigned one Mass a month and all the kids get to do the jobs like greeting, reading readings or ushering.

Reading the readings is my favorite.

After Mass, we do different activities, the most recent being was bowling and man, was it a blast.

My favorite farm work would have to be anything having to do with operating something. Some of my favorite rigs to drive are the skid steer or tractor hauling the manure spreader.

I spend a lot of my free time with my best friend, Seth Burkhard. We get into all sorts of projects, ranging from building go karts to rebuilding his S10.

As you can see I like to stay busy. Being an active FFA member, student at the local Tech center, NHS member, and everything else I’m involved in may take up most of my time and be tiring at times, but it is a ton of fun.

Thanks to all the positive people in my life, I have accomplished things I only dreamed I'd be able to do.

This just goes to show that you can really do whatever you set your mind to.

BY JEFF OAKLEY AND AMBER PLEINESS Harbor Beach High School

on opening day!

How do you train your workers to deal with customers?

The staff is trained to always be cheerful, kind, respectful, and considerate of customers. I emphasize that the staff should greet everyone as they come in with a smile, and a greeting such as “Hi, how are you?” We want customers to feel like they are welcome in our shop, and build a relationship with them so they want to come back. As most places, we practice “the customer is always right” mentality, and we focus on serving each customer to the best of our ability, including personalizing cones, sundaes, etc. If we have the product available, we will make just about anything (with a possible extra charge).

Should we expect an increase in prices this year?

Prices have remained the same from last year. Based on the current product costs, we did not see the need to increase this season. However, we cannot guarantee the prices to remain steady in the future with ice cream prices fluctuating.

What challenges might you have for competitive/ hardy eaters?

What rewards do they receive?

Those who are feeling brave can try the Triple Challenge!

The Triple Challenge is a contest for customers to finish a waffle cone stacked with three scoops of ice cream — in the flavors of their choice. There

is no time limit, but they must finish it all. The winners get their picture taken and put on our “Wall of Fame.” As a reward, they will receive a free single cone on their next visit, and they will also be put into a drawing for prizes such as a free gift card, T-shirt, etc.

Are any merchandise items available for purchase?

We have T-shirts available for customers to buy if they are interested in supporting the Chill Zone by wearing it while they are out and about. Sizes are limited, but we are open to ordering more if there is an interest.

What do you like best about the ice cream shop?

I enjoy seeing the community come together at the ice cream shop. There is no better combination than summer and ice cream! It is rewarding to see children, families, and friends gather to enjoy a treat and their time together. When you see all of the smiles, you know your hard work is worth it.

What would people say about the shop?

Most of the comments we have heard about the Chill Zone from people visiting is the cleanliness of the shop, the friendly staff, the generous portions, and reasonable prices.

How did the business start/ origin of the business?

The business originally began in July 2012, when Gene Schuett owned the building

and the prior tenant ran an ice cream shop. When the tenant moved out, Gene contacted Tina Oakley and Starr Derieg to fill in during the busy Fourth of July weekend to scoop ice cream. That same weekend, he asked if I was interested in helping. Before we knew it, our families were all pitching in to make it work! Years down the road, Gene decided he was looking to sell the business.

I couldn’t imagine our town without the Chill Zone, so after a lot of thought and prayer, I bought the business in May 2018.

How does the Chill Zone affect the town of Port Hope?

The Chill Zone, along with other businesses in town, brings life to the community.

It gives people a reason to come into town, to gather and socialize with each other in the community. It generates extra foot traffic for the town, which is nice to see.

Would you ever consider opening more shops around Huron County/ moving cities?

The Chill Zone is very unique, people enjoy its small and quaint atmosphere. My goal is not to “get rich” off of the Chill Zone. My goal is to keep a business within the community that brings joy and excitement for not only people within Port Hope, but also the surrounding area. I do not have any interest in opening more shops, or moving to a different town. It simply wouldn’t be the Chill Zone if we did that.

Goodbye

BY BREANNA ROE Harbor Beach High School HARBOR BEACH — Being bullied is no laughing matter, it can make everyday a struggle.

But once you leave, you become stronger.

It shows you ways to better yourself and to never make anyone feel the way you once did, or possibly still do.

But most of all, it shows you who your real friends are. They are the ones who are there for you on the bumpy roller coaster that is life, and they make sure your safety bar is all the way down.

So never give up, prove them wrong, and show them the amazing things you can and will accomplish. Then stand back and watch as their jaws drop!

Reminder!

BY BROOKLYN CRAVEN-PAPP AND ALICE FARRIS Harbor Beach High School

HARBOR BEACH — When you take a second to think about it, we — the citizens of Harbor Beach and surrounding areas — have it fairly easy.

We live in a great, clean community, where resources are readily available to us.

This is just a reminder to not take advantage of the people who make this possible.

Take a moment today to thank the garbage men, let your mail carrier know you appreciate them, and don’t leave your trash lying around for a janitor to deal with.

Our everyday lives would be much different without the work these fine people do for us, and quite often, we forget to show our respect and appreciation for them.

How can we come together to give thanks to our community workers today?

My first impression of Harbor Beach as an exchange student

BY SANTIAGO AGUDELO Harbor Beach High School HARBOR BEACH — I’m Santiago, a Colombian exchange student who just arrived at Harbor Beach two months ago.

I'm happy to say that my experience have been gratifying so far.

Although the day before my flight and my first week in Harbor beach was stressful. I really didn't know what to expect about my host family and classmates. That’s because in Colombia, they are wrong to think American people have a “cold” behavior, meaning they are not kind at all. But as I said before, this wasn’t true.

I was on the way home with my host mother when I first noticed how big the houses are in this country.

I even thought that they were all farms! We took too long to get into Harbor Beach, but at the moment we arrived, I wasn’t able to look at the city, it was at night.

The house of my host family is a

big green house with grand garage and a backyard, something new for me because in Latino America, it’s not too common to have such things. Well, my house in Colombia has a garage, but it’s not even a half of the garages in America.

I got in Harbor Beach by the time of the snowdays, so I had like two weeks free before I started the school. It was my first time seeing the snow, this magnificent white sand.

The first day of school was a totally new experience, passing for the confused and strange system of classes to the large white hallways with the orange lockers — just like in the cartoons and the movies.

The thing that confused me more was that the classes were in different rooms. I got lost a lot of times, and again and again, the other students were always there to help.

I chose the weirdest classes, the ones that I haven’t experienced in my entire school life in Colombia, such as BFS or life skills; these new classes were the starting point of

my real exchange. I met a lot of new people and I got myself trying to get adjusted to the America lifestyle.

The weather and the seasons is something that I really enjoy in America. In fact, I have just been here in winter and the start of spring, but I think is gorgeous — all the types of climates that you can find out in this country, like the snow, gusts of wind or even the rain. Most of this is new for me because in Colombia, there are no seasons — it is mostly always the same weather, all the days of the year, or it’s sunny or it’s rainy, just these two possibilities.

Harbor Beach is a pretty nice place to live. It’s secure, and I’m able to do bike rides around without any kind of concern. It’s a very peaceful town with kind people.

I wouldn’t be able to “survive” all this time without the help of the people here, and for all of this, I’m able to say that I couldn’t get a better place to do my exchange than Harbor Beach.

Spring break in Florida

BY MICHAEL ANDERSON Harbor Beach High School

This photo was taken on the beach just outside of a restaurant I had lunch at called Frenchy’s Rockaway Grill.

HARBOR BEACH — This year for spring break, my family and I drove down to Florida and stayed at a resort in Orlando.

One of the days I was there, I went to Clearwater Beach near Tampa Bay. My family and I also went to Cocoa Beach one of the days we were in Florida.

This photo was taken at Cocoa Beach, just a couple miles south of Cape Canaveral.

Two tales from dualenrollment students

BY EMILY GEIGER AND MORGAN SIELAFF Harbor Beach High School HARBOR BEACH — As sophomores, the students at Harbor Beach High School are given the opportunity to take dual enrollment classes through St. Clair County Community College (SC4), Delta College, Mid-Michigan Community College (MMCC), and Ferris State University (FSU).

Because college is not for everyone, part of making this decision is deciding what you are capable of and what you want to do in the future.

Weighing the benefits and drawbacks of this potential educational gain is crucial. Here are our experiences.

Emily Geiger: After I graduate from high school, I plan on attending Delta College and Northwood University for their partnered 3+1 business program with the hopes of graduating with a bachelor’s of business administration.

Sophomore year, I took two classes through FSU that were focused on study habits and career exploration.

One of the two classes I am taking through Delta is called introduction to business and in this class, I gain knowledge in what my future business classes will be like, and also what to expect in the business world after I graduate from college. I previously took principles of sociology. I did not enjoy this class much, but that is one of the factors in any form of education.

I discovered that I would much rather have an in-classroom experience when learning, but taking online classes in high school is much cheaper than waiting until after high school to have an in-classroom experience. Taking online classes, however, does instill strong independence in students that will benefit them for a lifetime.

Morgan Sielaff: My educational plan differs a bit from Emily’s. I plan on entering the medical field to become a dermatologist. I am looking into attending the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor or Oakland University. During sophomore year, I took the same FSU classes that Emily did.

Those assisted me in deciding on the degree I want to attain. When the start of this school year rolled around, I decided to branch out. So far this year, I have taken an Introduction to psychology course through SC4 and am now finishing up two more classes. One is principles of sociology through SC4 and the other is medical terminology through Delta. I have personally enjoyed the online aspect of the classes I have taken.

I have always thought of myself as a very independent individual — taking these classes that most college students are taking gives me an even greater sense of independence. One downfall I have found pertains to transferability.

It takes a lot of dedication to figure out exactly what classes will actually benefit you at whatever college you chose to attend. Some classes are not needed for certain degrees, and therefore, cannot be taken ahead of time.

Captain Marvel

BY YLANN PINEL Harbor Beach High School

HARBOR BEACH — I went to the theater to see the movie Captain Marvel.

My first impression was surprise — I was surprised by the context of the movie.

I think it’s different from the other Marvel movies.

It was a good movie, intense and funny at the same time, with a good story.

The cat Goose was my favorite character because he is really funny and saved the other good character.

I recommend this movie to teenagers and Marvel fans because it was well made.

A football mom is the best mom

BY DEVIN PFAFF Harbor Beach High School She’s busy every Friday night.

Screaming from the stands with all her might.

Some say she’s crazy, but that’s her style.

Just to see her son stand out in the pile.

These two students are inspired by family

BY KATRINA GENTNER AND RACHAEL SCHELKE Harbor Beach High School HARBOR BEACH — Did you ever watch a sport when you were young and say, “I want to play that” ?

For us, we did and now we are at the varsity level of playing on a softball diamond.

Softball is more than a ball, bat, mitt and opponents. It is the friendship a person makes with people along the way and the second family that is made.

Harbor Beach softball is filled with great sportsmanship and talented young ladies.

All the players can hear her through the game.

Shaking that cowbell, screaming her son’s name.

She’s always in her spot, left of the aisle.

Enjoying her night with a constant smile.

For me, Katrina, it was easy. I grew up playing ball in our front lawn. I have played since T-ball and got moved up to varsity my sophomore year of high school. My dad is the main person who got me hooked on this sport. I thank God for him introducing me to my favorite sport and for always being my biggest fan on the sidelines.

For me, Rachael, I watched my older brothers play baseball and how they enjoyed the sport so much. I have always looked up to my bigger brothers and seeing them enjoy a sport made me want to try it. I started playing when I was 5 years old and first picked up a softball, and now 12 years later, I am playing for a varsity team.

Trucks: A poem

BY ADAM BOOMS AND ERIC SCHOLTZ My truck, Stuck up, Very big.

Don’t run.

So messy, Only push, Ugly color.

So tiring.

Flat tires.

Never stop.

Pale seats, No breaks.

Fuel low.

Guess what?

Oil off Dead gone.

She’s up in the stands with all her old friends.

Reliving her glory days and all its trends.

For her son, she’ll go the extra mile.

She’s his No. 1 fan, there's no denial.

The game is over, the home team put on a show.

Guaranteed the whole town will soon know.

Her son comes out of the locker room and gets a kiss on the cheek.

It’s all about these crazy Friday nights ... Until next week!

BY ANTHONY ARNTZ Harbor Beach High School

Seabiscuit’s leg was healed up and he was healthy enough to race in his next race. In the race, Tom’s buddy who was racing with him, wanted him to win and wishes him the best luck. At the start of the race, Seabiscuit wasn't doing so good until Tom’s buddy came up to them and started telling Tom some encouraging words that helped him in the race that helped them win.

Overall I think the movie was well put together and was inspiring. It’s a movie about the true story of Seabiscuit.

My rating would be 9 out of 10 because I really liked seeing the characters’ lives before and after the horse.

I also liked how they showed the horse making a comeback after being rock bottom because of one huge accident.

One thing I think they should have added to the movie was the horse retiring after all the races he’s done and to see how everyone was doing after the horse retired.
