Augies Coffee Matches with the Weather By MORGAN GLAUB
The crisp fall weather starts to kick in, so the sweaters hiding in the depths of your closet start to make their way into your daily wardrobe and what could sound better than bundling up with a warm cup of coffee? It is this time of year that makes coffee sound good at almost any point in the day, and what better place to go than Redland’s Augies Coffee House. The coffee shop located in Downtown Redlands is truly unforgettable; nobody can miss the bright red brick building. It is almost impossible to not like the coffee shop as well as their coffee is absolutely stellar. In addition, they have a quiet back study room and a more social front room for meeting up with friends. Personally, I may be biased because I spend copious amounts of time at the coffee shop, but there is not a drink on the menu I do not like-- and I have tried practically everything. If you are looking for the perfect sweet coffee drink, I would suggest the dirty chai... |

Wild Oats: A Product of Hard WorkBy MAYA SANCHEZ
The Redlands East Valley Thespian Troupe 5847 recently performed the play “Wild Oats” on October 13, 14, and 15. “Wild Oats” is a “melodrama set in the wild west that includes elements of Shakespeare,” explains Redlands East Valley senior and President of the Thespian Troupe Katie Hayes. The plot follows a man named Jack Rover who falls in love with a woman named Kate Thunder --- but then he pretends to be her cousin. It is the wild west after all. “It’s a whole case of mistaken identity,” Hayes surmises. The theater department puts a lot of time and effort into the entire procedure. From making sets to learning lines, more than 90 hours of practice time can be accounted for. And these hours are accumulated after school -- not during class time -- meaning that the kids involved in the play are dedicated, passionate, and hard-working individuals. And their hard work translate directly into the production quality. “I’m really happy with how it turned out… It turned out really really well,” Hayes concludes. And others agree: Senior Cameron Kroetz talks about the play with a flourish. “I think it was really funny. It was so in your face … and I loved it.” Fellow Senior Savanna Patino shares similar sentiments. “I thought it was really interesting and really crazy -- but in a good way. The entire cast was [also] really good.” While Wild Oats has had their last performance, the theater program is now starting to prep for their spring musical “The Wizard of Oz”.

Sully Soars in TheatresBy TIM LEE
Sully, which was recently released in the box office, has had overwhelmingly positive reviews from critics. It debuted with a 155.4 million USD revenue with only a budget of 60 million USD. The film, directed by Clint Eastwood, stars actors Tom Hanks and Aaron Eckhart as the main protagonists of the movie. The plot focuses on the true story of Captain Chesley Sullenberger landing US Airways Flight 1549 on the Hudson River after the plane’s main engines were struck by a flock of geese. Captain Sully was able to save the lives of the passengers on board the flight and was hailed a hero for being able to perform such a miracle. However, after being rescued by coast guard officials and other boats who rushed to the aid of the passengers, Sully faced the possibility of not being able to pilot aircrafts anymore. Sully is forced to cooperate in an investigation in whether he could’ve landed the plane at one of the two nearby runways instead of landing in the river. He was proven wrong by many simulations showing that he had enough time to land at either airport and was discredited by many media sources and news stations. However, Sully believes his intuition was correct and that if he hadn’t acted using his past experiences as guidelines for his actions, the passengers of Flight 1549 would not be alive today. Sullenberger, who served in the military as a fighter jet pilot before changing career paths into civil aviation services, was hailed as a national hero... |
Column: Through My EyesFocusing on the Benefits of the Arts By SAVANNA PATINO
High school is a hodge-podge of stereotypes and cliques, and for newcomers, it can be very intimidating. Here’s what I have to say about that: Give the arts a chance. Whether it is performing arts or visual arts (or somewhere in between), there are plenty of benefits that come with taking part in it during your high school career. Not only are there many options: band, choir, theatre, ceramics, photography, etc., but each branch of the arts has something special about them. Here’s a quick breakdown from my point of view: Instrumental Music Classes: Whether you have been playing the clarinet for five years or you have never touched an instrument in your life, there is a band or orchestra class for everyone. Here, students learn about music theory and how to play in a more sophisticated way.. |
