An iconic tradition of fall will be absent this year as Mueller’s Orchard will be closed. While other people enjoyed the warm weather last spring, apple farmers in Michigan and from as far

away as Mississippi watched their apple trees blossom with the premature warm weather and die away with the frost.

“There were five or six freezes after blossom. We got through all but the last one,” owner Charles Mueller said. “April 29 was the last one that got all the apples. Partly because the fruit was at a very critical stage, more importantly, it was 24 or 25 degrees for six hours. After six hours, the fruit was frozen. If it had only been for an hour or two, the apples may have stood a chance.”

The rest of the state is experiencing similar results. “I’m getting varying reports, but it’s safe to say that except for some

pockets in the Lake Erie region, the total loss around Michigan was 90 percent,” Mueller said. “Other crops like peaches were far enough along to have the strength to get through it.”

Although Mueller’s apples will not be up for sale this season, apples will be found on grocery store shelves for almost more than three times the price from last year. Other establishments such as cider mills have shipped apples from parts of the country that were not as badly affected.

“We made the decision to not sell apples that somebody else grew,” Mueller said. “We’re not comfortable charging supermarket prices.”

Grocery stores have no choice but to raise prices to make a profit with the shortage of apples.

“We went to the orchard yesterday and they only had two bags of apples that they imported from someplace,” freshman Hope Dagenais said. “And at the grocery store it was $7.50 for a half gallon of cider; that is a rip off. One honey crisp apple was $2.50.”

Farmers of last year’s season could get 18 bushels of honey crisp apples for roughly $500, now it is around $1800. Cider apples were $85-90 for 18 bushels, this year it is a little less than $300. With each box of cider apples making 50 gallons of cider, farmers have to charge $6 a gallon to break even.

The Muellers do not have to worry so much about the shortage of apples. Financially, they are prepared for a bad season or two.

“It is a part of farming; you better be able to live a couple years without profit. You’re at the mercy of Mother Nature,” Mueller said. “The established guys have enough in reserve to survive, but the young guys just starting will have problems.”

The mills and some orchards in the area, such as Parshallville Cider Mill and Spicer Orchards in Fenton, will still be open to sell apples, cider, doughnuts and keep the atmosphere of the fall season despite the few apples available to them.

“People come to the orchard for the apples. The attraction of the orchard is to pick your own apples, and enjoy cider and doughnuts,” Mueller said. “The mills are a historical piece of America. It’s a different destination than an orchard; it doesn’t need the support activities that an orchard needs. “

Mueller’s will be open next year; provided that the area has a less bipolar spring and that more of their apples will prosper.

“It’s not family friendly to charge an arm and a leg,” Wendy Mueller said, “but maybe this will make people more appreciative when we are open.”

“I feel that the Pledge of Allegiance should be recited at the beginning of class,” junior Ross Person said. “Not everyone should be required to say it, though.”

The Senate passed Bill 637 that requires every classroom to have a United States flag present. The House has passed a bill of its own (Bill 4943) that sets aside time at the beginning of each day for students to recite the Pledge of Allegiance.

“Spending a couple of minutes each morning showing respect to our country; it is the right thing to do,” senior Connor Davidson said.

Administrators also feel reciting the pledge is important to have in our schools.

“The pledge is a way to remind us of our daily freedoms,” Principal Mark Suchowski said. “I think its important people remem-ber the ideas our ancestors died for.”

Requiring a flag in every classroom across America may be a financial burden on school districts; however, at Fenton it will not be a concern. All classrooms at Fenton High already have flags, so there would be no substantial financial costs for the district.

When surveyed about whether they supported the pledge or not, four out of five

students claimed to agree with the pledge. The most controversial aspect of the

Pledge of Allegiance is related to the words “Under God,” which were added to the Pledge June 14, 1954, by Congress and then-President Dwight Eisenhower.

“I don’t think the words ‘under God’ should be in the pledge,” senior Jacob Ingram said. “It can be offensive to some because Christianity isn’t the only religion for this country.”

While some may disagree with these words in the pledge others feel it is an im-portant aspect.

“I think the ‘under God’ part of the pledge should stay,” senior Jordan Dagenais said. “It is a part of our history now.”

Whether or not students agree with the wording, the legislation will be put into ef-fect in the coming 2013-2014 school year.

According to Suchowski, students may also have the option of leading the school in its pledge over the loudspeaker in the morn-ing. Criteria for this honor have yet to be determined. Students in the Fenton District will not be forced to recite the Pledge of Al-legiance in class.

New bills in Congress require flags to be placed in each classroom and the opportunity for students to recite the Pledge of Allegiance

About the Flag1. The other name for the American Flag, Old Glory, re-fers to a specific flag owned by Captain William Driver, a United States ship captain.

2. The current flag design was designed by an 18 year old high school student, who was only given a B- for his effort. He challenged the teacher and since the design was accepted by Congress, he received an A on the project.

3. The flag is not allowed to touch the ground.

4. When displayed at night, the flag must be illuminated.

5. When folded properly, the US flag is shaped like a triangle with only the stars showing. The process takes 13 folds, the same number as the original colonies.

Every morning in elementary school, students stand and place their right hands over their hearts to recite the Pledge of Allegiance.

Over the years, however, students stopped saying the pledge. In an attempt to enforce patriotism in youth, Congress has passed a bill to bring the pledge back to the classroom. Once an option, pledging to the

American flag will soon become a reality for the Fenton district.

Spooky Trails reopens for the fall season with a new haunted house and corn maze

Nighttime Horrors

While horror movies provide a fright on the screen, students head to Spooky Trails Farm for a real life horrifying scare. This year, Spooky Trails will feature a newly themed haunted house called the Woodhaven Boarding House.

The haunted house’s theme is that of the weird and crazy people who would come and go from a boarding house back in the 1800s.

“There are going to be a bunch of derelicts who are looking for a warm meal and a place to stay,” owner Mark Herring said.

“The Haunted House’s technology, such as strobe lights, fog machines, music and even a bubble machine, separates the Woodhaven boarding house from other haunted houses in the area,” owner Mark Herring said.

The hayrides cost is $9 per person. These rides are two miles long with different themed scenes placed throughout the ride. It takes 40-45 minutes to get all the way through the ride and it has also been rated number one in the county.

“The hayride was scary; I cried,” freshman Hannah Rheingans said. “The scariest part was when the guy started chasing me right when I got off the ride.”

Another attraction is the Zombie Hunter Hayride. It is one of the first interactive hayrides in Michigan. During the ride people are on a wagon with other participants and are fighting off zombies with laser guns. The zombies have sensors so when someone shoots and kills them, the sensor goes off. Points will be added to the total on the gun. Whoever has the most points at the end wins.

“It was fun because I shot zombies with laser guns and it was interactive,” sophomore Michael Roome said. “I got a chance to simulate a zombie apocalypse type situation.”

Nighttime events start from dusk until 10:30 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays and run from dusk until 9:15 p.m. on Sundays.

People everywhere are talking about Apple’s newest phone, the iPhone 5. Just last month, someone bid $3,050.00 on eBay to get the phone a day ahead of its release. While it looks similar to its immediate predecessors, the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S, it is very different.

“It’s 18 percent thinner and 20 percent lighter,” sophomore Colin Hodgkin said. “And it has a better camera. That’s what matters to me. The cameras in Apple devices are really good quality. They’re only going to get better.”

The most prominent of its new features is the larger screen size. Other changes include a thinner design, a two-tone back, doubled speed and graphic power, a more efficient battery and a new charging dock.

Many students are excited about the new iPhone and some have already purchased one for themselves.

“I like the new iPhone way better,” sophomore Madison Ballard said. “It’s lighter, it’s really fast, and the camera is way better, especially on the front of the smart phone.”

While some think the iPhone 5 is a

must have, others don’t find it necessary and are content with other smart phones.

“I know it has a bigger screen and lots of people seem to want it because it’s the next big thing from Apple, but I honestly don’t see what the big deal is,” senior Rose Joynt said. “There are better phones out there. I mean, if I had the chance to have one, I may take it, but I think I’d rather have the Galaxy S3. I have heard it has better battery life, it is fast, and has good picture quality. It has had nothing but good reviews.”

Samsung’s Galaxy S3 was released in June, and it features an Android-based operation system. The latest ad campaign for the Galaxy S3 mocks the hype and excitement that exists around the iPhone 5. The commercials feature people waiting in line for the iPhone 5 release, while Galaxy S3 owners show off all the things their phones can do that the iPhone can’t. Despite this effort, the projected sales estimate for 2012 shows the iPhone 5 outnumbering the Galaxy S3 by 20 million phones sold.

Apple has introduced updated versions of the iPhone five times since its debut in 2007. Each new generation has included faster speed and more features.

Traveling TransformationSRT rules changed to help create more defined academic time

In the second semester of last year, 17.6 percent of students failed one or more classes. The statistics gleaned from PowerSchool in the past two years pointed to a dramatic increase in failing students—increasing 5.1 percent in the second semesters. In response, the administration changed the time they already had built into the day.

“I told the superintendent that SRT is travel and students go where they’re supposed to and they’re always studying,” Principal Mark Suchowski said. “He came over and observed what was happening and he started asking questions. He said, ‘Fourteen percent of your students failed one or more of their courses [in the first semester] and they all have an SRT. Why is that?’”

These questions sparked more inquiries during the past two school years about what needed to happen and what options for change existed. In the end, the teachers came up with

14 ideas, including after-school tutoring and a credit recovery program for students who need extra help to get back on track for graduation.

Adjusting SRT was another one of these proposed changes, one that would give students a more defined academic time in which to do their homework.

“We already had SRT built into the day; we wanted to capitalize on it,” Suchowski said. “We took away a travel period so students would have more time under the supervision of their SRT teachers to get their work done.”

Unfortunately for some students, removing a travel time only worked to decrease their time spent on academics. Taking tests became harder to complete in the time allowed and students helping friends with homework became more difficult.

“Normally when I go to Perkins’ room to help [my friend] with his homework, I have enough time to read it over so I can help him,” senior Chelsea Preston said. “With the new travel rules, I don’t have time to teach

him—there’s not enough academic time.”While some students find it difficult to get

their academic work done, teachers also have to adapt to the more defined rules.

“I think a lot of us, including myself, were getting too lax on the SRT rules,” SRT teacher Nicole Smelis said. “I do think the travel time is a bit too short for taking tests, but we’re figuring out ways to work that out.”

In the hallways, students’ behavior falls much more in line with the rules. Passing time before and after travel has been shortened from seven to five minutes to cut down on the number of students wandering around through the halls.

“The time’s a little bit shorter, so people feel like they have to get where they have to be, get what they need, and then get back where they should be,” hall monitor Donna Fletcher said. “It’s much easier in the halls and a lot of the teachers are cooperating with the planner business; I haven’t had as many issues with the students not having their planners this year.”

On an average day, the Pledge of Allegiance never crosses my mind. Lansing policymakers are hoping to change that with two new bills. The first bill would mandate an American Flag in every classroom and the second bill would require that an opportunity be given every day for students of all ages to say the Pledge of Allegiance. Unfortunately, the bills would have very little effect on students.

The main criticism against the bills is the $14 cost for each flag (compare that to the $50 International Baccalaureate flag hanging from the FHS flagpole). However, the American Legion will assist schools with the purchasing of flags.

More important than the cost is the bill’s impact. What the critics of the bills fail to realize is the overall limited effect of the bills would.

No students are going to shoot their hands up in the air every morning when the teacher asks if anyone would like to take advantage of their opportunity to say the pledge. It is even less likely that any student will gaze at the flag hanging in the corner and suddenly feel a special appreciation for our country.

“The bill is meant to teach people about our country and its val-ues,” Senator Roger Kahn said. “Hopefully, we can instill those values as something that will be passed on and lived out throughout daily life. It is not just saying the pledge but talking about what it says and what it stands for.”

The bills contain no provisions for doing what might actually make an impact: talking about the pledge and what it stands for. With-

out any mandate requiring the pledge to be recited and discussed, representatives in Lansing are simply wasting time on two bills that would go into effect but change nothing.

Instilling pride for our country in students is a favorable and worthwhile idea. Hanging an American flag in every classroom, however, will not instill this patriotism. In order to teach a real ap-preciation for our country and its founders, there should be an actual curriculum change that would mandate teaching about the flag and the American values that inspired it.

Trying to Make an Impact with the Stars and StripesTwo bills in the Michigan legislature concerning the American Flag would have little effect if passed

The Decision to Amend the Constitution

Breaking down proposal “A proposal to amend the constitution regarding collective bargaining”

Grant public and private employees the constitutional right to organize and bargain collectively.

Override state laws that regulate hours and working conditions if those laws conflict with union agreements.

Invalidate existing or future laws that limit the ability for unions to join and bargain collectively.

2

On November 6, Michigan voters have the opportunity to alter the Michigan Constitution. Proposal 2 could perhaps have the most far reach-ing effect with union membership in professions ranging from education to auto workers and from plumbers to policemen. The decision of whether to secure collective bargaining rights into the constitution is one that should not be taken lightly by voters.

While watching TV, I see countless adver-tisements for the upcoming election telling me to vote yes on this proposal or vote for this candidate. Collective bargaining may seem like just another proposal to add to the list, but in fact it is very important for it to pass.

Collective bargaining will protect workers from devastating cuts to their wages and ben-efits, and with the economy at such a low and no signs of it getting much better anytime soon, this amendment to the constitution will protect the workers. Collective bargaining protects the middle class in Michigan and is key to keeping it from disappearing.

It also gives the workers a voice. Without the protections of collective bargaining, jobs can be outsourced to China or Mexico.

Adding this to the constitution will ensure that workers have the rights they deserve. It will also create a checks and balances system be-tween the worker and the employer. It keeps the employer in check to make sure he or she is not infringing on the worker’s rights. The collective bargaining proposal needs to be passed for the protection of workers.

Local communities are positively affected by collective bargaining. In 2010, the US depart-ment of Commerce found that four person firefighting teams were 30 percent faster than two person teams. Despite these findings, politi-cians are laying off firefighters. These layoffs put firefighters and Michigan families in danger. Proposal 2 will protect these firefighters.

Collective bargaining will also benefit teach-ers. According to the Center for Public Educa-tion, students in classes with 13-17 students per teacher experienced greater academic achieve-ment than students in classes with 22-26 stu-dents. Proposal 2 will allow teachers to fight for what is best for students, including smaller class sizes and materials they need in the classroom to keep students and staff safe.

In addition to affecting educators and stu-dents, collective bargaining boosts our economy. It ensures that the middle class families can support the small businesses they create. If they can support those businesses, then they can hire more workers, creating more jobs.

Americans deserve the right to fairly negoti-ate with our employer. If a worker feels that he is not being treated right by his employer, whether it be his wage, hours of work, or benefits he should be entitled to the right to join a union. Elected officials should not be able to interfere with that right. America is a free country, and if anyone chooses to form or join a union they should have the right to do so.

Overall, Proposal 2 should be passed in order protect workers and allow them to form a union when their rights are being infringed upon. It will also be beneficial to our economy creating more jobs and protecting the middle class.

By torrey ChristopherneWs editor

Out of the six proposals on the Michigan ballot this year, Proposal 2 would be the most detrimental to the Michigan economy.

This proposal is an effort by unions to gain control of a portion of the state government after other states have passed legislation to limit the damaging effect on the economy of excessive union wages and benefits.

Take Wisconsin; the state passed a bill re-quiring union dues to be paid by check instead of taken directly out of union member’s paycheck. The result: union membership dropped sharply when people realized just how much they pay for unions and how little they often get in return.

To protect their membership in Michigan, unions have set their sights on our state constitu-tion. Adding a collective bargaining amendment to the constitution would prevent any legislative action from reducing union power as the Consti-tution trumps state legislation.

While collective bargaining is important to ensure employees are not taken advantage of by their employer, this right is under no threat from the state government. Although there have been reforms to rein in some of the excessive union

benefits, Governor Rick Snyder is pro-union. This proposal is not designed to protect collec-tive bargaining because it is under no threat, it is actually designed to give union leaders the power to overturn state legislation.

Cementing this right in the Constitution will have severe consequences. The immediate effect of the amendment would essentially take Michi-gan back in time with its labor laws to when unions dominated public and private employers.

Any legislative act regarding union labor would likely be overturned by the new amend-ment. It is estimated that more than 100 existing laws would likely be repealed by enacting Proposal 2.

Essentially, anything concerning collective bargaining, public employee wages and benefits, and school district reforms would be out of the reach of the legislature. Instead, all of those deci-sions would be made by unelected union leaders.

Proposal 2 is projected to cost Michigan taxpayers $1.6 billion. As a result, these stag-gering costs will benefit about three percent of the population leaving the remaining 97 percent to pay its steep price. Additionally, economic growth will suffer as businesses are forced to pay union wages and benefits. Many businesses will likely relocate to more business friendly states, like Indiana or Wisconsin.

If Proposal 2 is passed, Michigan will become a state where decisions involving union wages, benefits and their budgetary impact will be re-moved from the normal legislative process. Un-elected bureaucrats will be solely responsible for making such decisions. The Michigan economy will struggle to become productive again if this union power grab is not voted down.

After 15 minutes of working on an assign-ment on virtually any computer here at the high school, the computer lags, freezes and sometimes crashes completely.

At the center of the problem is the net-work which is not designed for the web based learning necessary for coursework. The Nov. 6 bond will replace this failing infrastructure and many of the outdated computers.

One example of the network’s failures can be found in the publication room. In this room, there are 32 computers exactly, enough for all 32 students in the desktop publish-ing class. However, on any given day at least three computers are malfunctioning, leaving several students without a computer in a tech-nology class.

Another problem is the lack of funds to update technology. When the business management class received new computers through a grant, the old computers were re-located to the alternative education lab. These computers take at least 15 minutes to turn on and do not allow the use of many online pro-grams needed for daily class activities.

Now, think a year or two into the future. Efficient, brand new, crash-free computers are available to students for school work which function with an updated network. If the $8.4 million, 10 year bond is voted in on Nov. 6, this will become a reality.

The majority of the bond is set aside to fund new and improved technology. Out of the $8.4 million, $6.4 million of it will be used to buy better computers for all classrooms.

When voters head to the polls in Novem-ber, they have the opportunity to ensure that students at Fenton can maintain a high quality of learning along with safe buses and an up-dated security system.

People are incredibly reliant, too reliant, on their cell phones, but that doesn’t make the device unhelpful or a distraction. This technological de-pendability can be blamed on “high-tech” phones and their ever expand-ing features.

There were an estimated 6 bil-lion people worldwide who used cell phones in 2011 and 286 million of

Cell phones only become a distraction when they are misusedthe people who used cell phones in the United States that year had Inter-net capabilities on their phones.

Most cell phones, even some basic ones, have the ability to connect to the Internet and allow the user to take advantage of music, games, apps and more in addition to the already over-looked functions such as taking pic-tures, texting and making phone calls.

Cell phones, without all this extra stuff act as a device for communica-tion and are not a distraction; multi-media, the Internet, apps and games are the distractions, but cell phone us-ers are not obligated to take advantage of these features. The main purpose of a phone is not to spend every second of the battery life playing Temple Run, or at least it isn’t supposed to be the main purpose.

Although these functions may distract their users, there are other ways for people to take advantage of them without a cell phone. Twitter and Facebook are on computers and tablets too. Calling cell phones a dis-

traction, rather than helpful is calling anything with Internet access a dis-traction, as well.

A computer can’t be carried in a back pocket but a phone can, giving someone access to multiple forms of entertainment anywhere, anytime, at the push of button.

Some people are so consumed with staying updated on their social networking that they resort to using social media when that time could be better spent. Statistics show that approximately a third of drivers have texted while driving and 13 percent have used the Internet while driv-ing. Again, this is not the fault of the phone, but the fault of the person misusing their time.

Cells phones are a form of com-munication and sometimes entertain-ment, too, but not a distraction.

But Twitter, Facebook, and insta-gram? That’s another story.

I really hope that the bond passes, be-cause there are three to four computers in my desktop publishing class that do not work. It is not fair to those kids that do not have a computer, because in that class they need

computer access. New laptops are needed as well. When

my literature and composition class goes to the lecture hall, the computer that I am assigned is always out of order to I have to use a different computer every time.

The bond needs to be passed because students can not obtain a quality educa-tion without the necessary resources. With students using computers at least three times a week, it is in everyone’s best interest to pass the bond.

A Messy VengeanceBoys varsity soccer and girls senior powder-puff wage in a water war

Water balloons exploded on impact and flour flew as the senior powder-puff team fled from a surprise assault by the boys varsity soccer team on Sept. 13. The scene in front of AGS Middle School was one of frenzy that afternoon. What had started as a plan to surprise the underclassmen soccer players turned into the boys charging down the field toward the powder-puff practice with balloons and flour in hand.

The battle left both girls and boys wet and dusted with flour. Senior Abby Barnard’s hair looked greyer than its natural black. In retaliation, the powder-puff team devised a plan of action. The counter attack was set for 4:15 p.m. on Sept. 18.

“They got us, so we decided to retaliate,” senior Alison Strayer said. “But, a sneak attack with 30 people doesn’t really work. We weren’t the quietest setting up, so they knew.”

The girls’ suspicions that the

boys knew what they were in for was confirmed. Junior Anthony Flannery was on the soccer field when the battle started.

“We knew it was coming,” Flan-nery said. “Michael Conroy and Kyle Costigan both guessed it at practice. I tried running to the corner, but my technique didn’t work and I got trapped. But because I was wearing Julian Weinberg’s shirt so I didn’t worry about getting hit.”

The girls were prepared with an arsenal of water guns, gallons and buckets of water, shaving cream, silly string and bags of flour. A few of the boys tried defending their field by taking command of the hoses by the gate to soak the powder-puff players as they ran through the gate.

“We all charged the field and most of them fled,” Strayer said. “They started running really fast and in serpentine patterns. We got a few of them really well. Julian Weinberg got a bucket of water dumped on him and that was the highlight of it.

As long as Julian got soaked, the mis-sion was complete.”

The tables turned amidst the chaos on the field and the soccer team was not the only ones tacking it, they were giving it right back, too. Seniors Madison Egan and Bailey Scarberry were just a few of the girls who were soaked and covered in shaving cream. Flannery pointed out the flaws in the girls’ strategy.

“They left a water bucket unat-tended,” Flannery said. “Michael Conroy took control of it and drenched Alex Stack. Also a lot of girls didn’t factor in the wind when throwing the flour. I gave someone a free shot and it was blown back into her face.”

After the second battle had been waged, players from both sides had fallen victim to water, flour and shaving cream. The battle field trans-formed back into a soccer field, and the only evidence of the attack was wet clothing and traces of white flour scattered across the ground.

The girls varsity golf team is undefeated as they come off a victory against their rival Linden.

At the end of the match, Fenton was tied with Linden with a four team score of 183. Junior Sam Moss scored a team low of 41. To help Fenton stay undefeated, the fifth golfer, senior Andrea Buterakos, edged Linden’s fifth golfer with a score of 51.

“We have achieved an undefeated season,” Buterakos said. “It just shows how all of the girls worked hard to get to the point where we are right now.”

Other contributors to the Linden

match included freshman Sarah Cum-mings, who scored a 50, junior Tailer Pryzbylowicz, who scored a 48, and senior Meghan Berry, who finished with a score of 41.

This match is not the only success Fenton has had. The team is ranked fourth overall in the state for division two girls golf.

“I am really happy that we have been so successful,” Moss said. “We have a great group of hard working girls and it’s a great feeling to be ranked so high.”

Moss is the leading scorer on the team and holds the school record for the lowest 18 hole score. She has

broken the record three times, the first with a score of 80 and the last at 78 where it stands now.

“I have worked six days a week for about seven months now,” Moss said. “I personally feel that I have performed pretty well but of course I am always looking to improve.”

When league play ended, the team focused on state finals. They qualified at the regional tournament held at the Pontiac Country Club on Oct. 10. Coming in second place at regional tournament earned them their second straight trip to the state finals.

“I am really happy that we made it to states again,” Moss said. “I am

excited to see how we place because I feel like we have really improved since last year.”

Pryzbylowicz attributes much of their success to their coach, Kurt Herbstreit.

“He’s a great coach and he gives us really inspirational speeches,” Pryzblowicz said. “Our coach always puts us in a great mood and prepares us to play. Probably the toughest thing for me is going to be leaving him my senior year.”

The team went to states Oct. 19. Re-sults were not available at press time.

All Art CoUrtesy oF niCk gregory

Through the LensInspired by the history and people of Detroit, social sciences teacher Nick Gregory submits his collection ‘Split’ to Artprize, the world’s largest art competition

It’s called the Wailing Wall. And beneath the solid concrete and years of graffiti lies a history that defines the early struggles of Detroit. It’s overlapped by bright and bubbly pictures, swirls of red and blue and the faces of Detroiters that have come before. It’s called the Wail-ing Wall, and social studies teacher Nick Gregory has made this wall, this struggle, the focal point of his photography collection he has entered in Artprize, an art competition based in Grand Rapids.

“My piece ‘Split’ comes from the wall that was built in the 1940s to segregate blacks and whites which caused a lot of trouble,” Gregory said. “The one word that shows separation and divisions is ‘Split’.”

From the first moment Gregory stepped into a darkroom and began developing pictures, he knew that was where he belonged. Through his experiences in high school and college classes, he discov-ered his own love for photography.

“The first memory of photography is my high school journalism class,” Gregory said. ”We had our own darkroom and I loved waiting to see the pictures develop.”

It was only recently that Gregory took to photography as a hobby. He found a subject in the suburbs and streets of downtrodden Detroit. Even though he had little experience and was self-taught, Gregory found a way to make beautiful pictures out of his interests.

“I am very curious; I think Detroit is so misunderstood and has so much untold history,” Gregory said. “I like a good story and stories in Detroit inspire me.”

After gaining a bit of experience, Gregory mustered up enough courage to approach inhabitants of Detroit. He made sure he was care-ful with his words, where he went and what time of day he went. He felt it made his pictures more engaging.

“Meeting people made my pictures a lot better; actually talking to them and learning their stories really made me understand more,” Gregory said. “The biggest and most fulfilling thing for me is telling a story. In order to do that you had to talk to people which changed everything.”

Gregory said that six or seven years ago, he passed a suburb of De-troit when inspiration hit him. He wasn’t expecting to be more than just a high school teacher and a basketball coach.

“The idea of telling a story connects directly to photography for me; this is something I love,” Gregory said. “I had never thought of it as a career.”

Through his discovered passion of photojournalism, Gregory found himself falling in love with Detroit for its collage of styles and personalities. The jazz music found circulating in his social studies classes was introduced to him through his exploration of Detroit.

“I’ve fallen in love with the music in Detroit,” Gregory said. “You

can find traces of expression everywhere.”The college student that had once only dabbled in photography

suddenly found himself irreversibly immersed in photography and the culture of Detroit. As Gregory found himself infatuated with the city, he felt the need to capture his love in pictures.

“You have to find the story and really work for it,” Gregory said. “My advice to aspiring photographers is to go out and make it happen.”

Spooky Tales

Hassle-Free Halloween

Quick homemade costume ideas for the procrastinating trick-or-treater. By Jillian Andrada | Writer

Many of us have had the experience of scaring someone- hiding in the closet until our little brother or sister walks by, then jumping out and screaming at them. Watching them jump and shriek with fear is funny and exhilarating. Afterwards, the event leaves you and your victim with a smile. Working at Spooky Trails provides you and the customers with same feeling.

My job at Spooky Trails has both positive and negative aspects, from having a great time while scaring people and sitting at a fire talking to my friend I am doing the scaring with to getting kicked in the face and having stuff thrown at me.

An average work day at Spooky Trails consists of sitting by a warm fire waiting for a wagon to drive by, then getting into my position, jumping out and scaring the people in the wagon.

Every wagon is unique with its riders. Sometimes I will get people who are really scared with tears running down their face other times I can get a group that laughs at me and will swear and throw fists. Seeing the young and the old people shriek with fright and laugh hysterically makes me smile every time I do it.

On the job, I have to be prepared for anything. Once on a dreary, damp night it had rained for hours before the hayride. As I was sprinting alongside the wagon and I took my eyes off the trail and tripped over a stump and fell hard into the mud. I felt embarrassed at first, but then I realized that everyone was laughing so I was able to laugh with them at myself. The lesson learned on that night was to be more careful and watch where I walk.

While on the job, I enjoy sitting at the fire with my friend telling him about unique wagons that have unusual stories. Some of these stories include people throwing their phone when they were scared, cocky men trying to impress their girlfriends but then suddenly become terrified, or people jumping into stranger’s laps.

My work experience at Spooky Trails has taught me that people who seem to be tough are not always as strong and fearless as they appear. Overall, I have realized that while I don’t enjoy being scared, I do love scaring other people.

Every weekend, junior Sean O’Conner wades through heaps of bloody corpses in Battlefield 3, an online first person shooter on Xbox 360.

O’Conner is an avid gamer, much like many teenagers. But according to the Entertainment Software Rating Board, O’Conner should not be allowed to play anything referencing things like alcohol and gore.

Most gamers have seen the letter on the corner of the box, it is meant to help the player’s deci-sion about whether or not a game is appropriate for their age group.

Among the 245.6 million game that are purchased at retailers nationwide, many of them are played by teenagers.

The ESRB began in 1994 because of criticism from the fighting game series Mortal Kombat, and its violent nature. Its grading scale includes Early Childhood, Everyone, Everyone 10 and up, Teen, Mature, and Adults Only.

Many avid gamers like O’Conner barely pay attention to the guidelines, seeing them as unnecessary.

“Sometimes the ESRB goes out of their way to rate games harshly from their history, such as Halo Reach,” O’Conner said. “Because the original had a M for Mature rating, Halo Reach, with only Blood and Violence, got a M rating as well. A game like Bat-man: Arkham City, which has no prior history and contains alcohol references, suggestive themes, blood and violence, mild language and use of tobacco is still rated T for teen.”

All retailers are required by law to only sell M rated games to those 18 years or older. This precaution inhibits any younger gam-ers from playing the games they want without parental consent.

Because of this, some younger gamers may be forced to pay attention to the ratings and collaborate with their parents on the appropriateness of select games.

“A person’s level of maturity should decide if you can play those games, which is decided by your parents,” junior Zahne Macklin said. “Unless otherwise told by my parents, I will play M games. I think it’s up to each parent to decide what content they want their children exposed to.”

Problem at the End of The MovieThe suspenseful thriller, “The House at the End of the Street,” stars Jennifer Lawrence as Elissa, who

moves into a new neighborhood with her mother Sarah (Elizabeth Shue). While moving in, they notice a seemingly abandoned house neighboring theirs. A family lived there prior to their murder

by their own daughter, Carrie Anne. Now Carrie Anne’s brother Ryan (Max Thieriot), lives in the house by himself. Unlike others, Elissa sees the good in Tyler; they soon become friends. However, she soon learns of Ryan’s past and begins to uncover his family’s dark secrets.

Misguided Guidelines

The beginning of this movie wasn’t very exciting. The direc-tor spends about 45 minutes introducing the characters which was understandable because the main character was meeting these people for the first time. However, the main characters are the only people in this movie who are realistic and interesting. All of the secondary characters’ personalities are so over exaggerated and cliche that it’s dif-ficult to not see them as actors instead of real people.

Another big issue was the screenplay. The dialogue between the characters can be really funny at times, but it’s usually unintentional. There is a scene in this movie where Elissa and Ryan are sharing a nice awkward silence during a car ride home, and out of nowhere Elissa looks right at Ryan and says, “Your parents were killed.” This is not how normal human beings talk. Weird moments like this are scattered throughout the whole movie and I feel like they all could have been avoided.

Overall, this movie was a bad adaptation of a good story. The director should have taken more time to present the in-teresting plot he had in a more enjoyable way. Even though the characters and the writing was poor, the unexpected twists kept me interested and left me satisfied.

Having already heard the chatter about House at the End of the Street, I didn’t know how I would feel going into it. However, I was pleasantly surprised.

The introduction of the characters, the eerie feel of the house that Elissa and her mother move into, as well as the background of the story were well done.

As far as the characters are concerned, Elissa was the most realistic in my opinion. She played on the ‘Rebel new girl’ vibe, which it truly fit both Elissa, the movie itself, and a refreshing change for Jennifer Lawrence. This character was a refreshing change and showed that Jennifer Lawrence can be more than just a “Hunger Games” starlet.

The ending of this movie was nauseatingly predictable and utterly lackluster in delivery and timing. When dealing with a scary movie, there are certain aspects that are written into the imaginary manual of what makes a good thriller.

This ending screamed typical scary movie to which I turned down my eyes and shook my head in disbelief that a movie could be so good, and then with a single scene, be a major disap-pointment. Even though the ending was humdrum and lame, I thoroughly enjoyed this film and, if given the chance, would definitely go see it again.
