This year’s float theme,

“Superheroes,” provided

the inspiration for some

fantastic floats which were

constructed at various loca-

tions around Central Lake.

After judging, here are the

results of this spirited com-

petition: In fourth place

were the sophomores.

Third place went to the

senior class, while second

Three Lakes

Associations

Internship 2014

This summer, I participat-

ed in the Three Lakes internship.

A family friend told me about it in

February and I knew I just had to

apply for it.

The internship took place

around the lakes. (Lake Bellaire,

Clam, Clam river, and Torch

Lake) I would like to inform you

that anybody can apply for it, and

anybody has a chance for it. Just

about everybody gets accepted as

long as you're in 9-12 grade.

During the internship, you

will go around the lakes and

streams taking surveys, water

quality tests, and much, much

more.

The internship takes place

in the summer. It normally takes

place from 9:00 Thursday morn-

ing to about 4:00-5:00 that even-

ing, but depending on what is

planned that day and the weather,

the day might be changed for that

week. You only meet once a

week.

I would recommend this

internship to everybody. Anyone

can ask me questions or even get a

recommendation letter from me

when you apply.

CNC Mobile Lab

Comes to Central

Lake

The Computer Numerical

Control lab (CNC) works with

computers that control machine

tools such as lathes, mills, routers,

and grinders. CNC also uses

graphs on the computer, and the

graphs control the movement of

the cutter. The computer controls

the cutting and shaping of the ma-

terial.

Ben Hicks commented in

the CNC class, “We make draw-

ings in a surfcam format, and pre-

pare them for the CNC machine

code which is G54, then the CNC

machine drills the path we tell it

to into the raw materials.”

The lab allows high school

students to train and earn credits

toward certification in machine

tools and later a CNC certificate

can be earned. The CNC class

originates from Northern Central

Michigan College and is spon-

sored by the CharEm ISD.

The CNC mobile lab

comes to Central Lake’s parking

lot behind the drafting lab every

Friday. Students who use the lab

are in Mr. Linter’s Drafting II

class.

New Marquee Dedi-

cated to Maris

Spaulding

The corner of West State

Street and Howard has been up-

graded with a new marquee dedi-

cated to Maris Spaulding. This

electronic marquee is a major up-

grade from the old one, which had

to have the letters put in manually.

The marquee makes it faster to

publicize announcements, and in-

formation can be changed more

often. It’s also more noticeable,

and easier to read from the street

because it’s brighter and the let-

tering is bigger than the old mar-

quee.

It was put together by

Building Trades teacher Gary

Johnson, with some assistance

from myself over about a two

week period from late July to ear-

ly August. The work was well

worth the result as it finally gave

CLHS the new marquee that peo-

ple had been requesting for years.

European Soccer vs.

American Soccer

Participating in sports as a

student in Europe is much different

than for those in America.

In nearly all European coun-

tries you do not compete for your

school, but for a club. Students

from different schools come togeth-

er to play for one club.

Soccer is the main sport, and

each club has several fields. Nor-

mally, there is one field for summer

and one for winter. The summer

fields have regular grass, while the

winter fields are made of an ash

field. The better clubs have a pitch

with fake grass in the winter.

One advantage for European

soccer is that the athletes can con-

tinue playing soccer after their

school career. Another advantage is

that one can choose what club to

join. If a player is good enough, he

can decide where he wants to play

professionally. Once a player is

eighteen years old, they must decide

where he wants to play in the first,

or best, team. There are no competi-

tive university teams. The best play-

ers join those clubs.

Here in America, students

play for their school. It is good be-

cause you have the school spirit in

games, and you play with your

classmates in your free time on a

team. A negative aspect for school

teams is that it is very hard to con-

tinue the sport once you graduate.

Both European and American sys-

tems have advantages and disad-

vantages. It is hard to say which

system is better working.

The National Honor Society induction ceremony oc-

curred Wednesday, September 24,in the gymnasium as an as-

sembly.

Current Honor Society students were in attendance:

Haley Patton, Christopher Corbett, Connor Zook, Carrissa

Boni, Tineka Witt, Emma Pierson, and Allie Hines.

This year’s inductees include: Isaac Mortensen, Benja-

min Hicks, Jack Dawson, Erika Thayer, Ryan Sutherland,

Morgan Scott, Jared Hebden, Channing Hoogerhyde, Sara

Dorland, Jacob Luchenbill, and Delaney Buffman.

Guest speaker, Matt Hamilton, teacher, and part owner

of Fudgee’s talked about three things…Think, Believe, and

Do. He explained how these three things make giving back to

this community possible.

If you would like to become a member of the NHS

(National Honor Society), you must have a 3.5 GPA, a good

attitude, integrity, and many other things. Each fall eligible

juniors and seniors can complete the application process spon-

sored by Mrs. Hoogerhyde. It would also look really good on

an application or resume.

New National Honor Society

Members Inducted

Hats off to our Honor Society members, new and old, who

will continue to serve and represent Central Lake.


C.L’s New Middle

School Science and

Language Arts

Teacher, Mrs. Kinery

This year, we gained a total

of four new teachers in Central Lake

High School/Middle School. One of

those four teachers is Mrs. Kinery.

Mrs. Kinery

grew up in a

suburb of De-

troit called

Westland and

attended

Wayne Memo-

rial High

School in

Wayne, Michi-

gan. Her favor-

ite classes in

high school

were language/

literature classes.

Ever since Mrs. Kinery can

remember, she has always wanted to

be a teacher. Mrs. Kinery stated,

“My grandmother was a teacher.

She retired many years before I was

even born, but I respected her more

than anyone and I wanted to be just

like her. She always stressed what

an important job it was to educate

our youth.”

After graduating high school

Mrs. Kinery attended Eastern Mich-

igan University and majored in Ele-

mentary Education with two minors

in Science and Language/Literature.

Throughout college her favorite

classes were Children’s Literature

and Plate Tectonics.

Central Lake is not the first

school Mrs. Kinery has taught at,

nor is it her first year teaching in

Central Lake Schools. Last year, she

taught Title 1 in the elementary

school and worked with kindergar-

ten through second grade students.

Right out of college, she taught Pre-

Kindergarten, Transitional Kinder-

garten, and kindergarten for six

years. After those six years, she took

12 years off to raise her own chil-

dren. Then, when her youngest child

went to full day kindergarten, she

went back to work. At first

she worked as a para-pro with

Title 1 students, special needs

preschoolers, kindergarten,

and first grade students. Then,

she taught summer school to

first graders for four years.

While she was teaching sum-

mer school, a fellow teacher

there had informed her about

the job posting for a Title 1

teacher here in Central Lake.

So after Mrs. Kinery got

recertified, she applied for the

job. Now she’s here, teaching Eng-

lish, science, and Title 1 at Central

Lake Middle School/High School.

Mrs. Kinery loves the stu-

dents and community, she stated, “I

absolutely love my job here at Cen-

tral Lake Middle school/High

school. I have to admit, it has been

quite an adjustment from teaching at

the Elementary School, but I love it

just the same. The staff, parents,

and students have all been so wel-

coming to me. I feel very blessed to

be able to work in such a tight knit

and caring community!”

-Dezert DeYoung & Emilee Shafer

Mrs. Todd, High

School English/Art

The new school year has

brought a surprising number of new

teachers to Central Lake High

School. One of them, Mrs. Todd,

actually teaches two classes, art and

English.

Mrs. Jennifer Todd went to

school in Goodrich, MI (a small vil-

lage near Flint), and decided in 10th

grade that she wanted to become an

art teacher. When asked where she

went to college, she replied, “My

first high school art teacher con-

vinced me to attend her alma mater

of Northern Michigan University.

After attending Mott Community

College in Flint for one year, I trans-

ferred to NMU and moved to Mar-

quette.”

She graduated from NMU

with a degree in K-12 Art Education

in May of 2012, and for the 2012-

2013 school year, she completed the

necessary courses at Alma College

to earn her teaching certificate in

Secondary English Education.

Her favorite subjects in school

were writing/literature. In college, she

became intrigued by the various con-

nections between art and English, thus

leading to her minor and career as an

English and art teacher.

But Central Lake isn’t the first

school she’s taught at. She was a Grad-

uate Teaching Assistant at Central

Michigan University for the 2013-2014

school year, where she taught English

101 to college Freshmen. This past

May, however, she was offered her

dream job of teaching not only Eng-

lish, but art as well, and she says she

couldn’t be happier here.

-Dezert DeYoung & Emilee Shafer

Dino Pizzino, 8—12

Science

“I want to show the beauty of

science to the next generation and how

much it’s a part of our lives.”

Mr. Pizzino is from Alpena

Michigan, and graduated from Central

Michigan University.

He credits his fascination of

living systems and their interactions to

growing up around nature and partak-

ing in his outdoor activities. “You get

to observe things that make you ask

questions and dig deeper into why

things are the way they are.”

Pizzino does have plans for

after teaching. He’s always enjoyed

cooking and gardening, but he will

probably travel all over Michigan and

out west chasing the ever elusive trout

with his fly rod.

Welcome! (ยนิดีตอ้นรับ ) Khim Nacharoen

Khim is a foreign student from

Northaburi, Thailand, staying with the

Witt family. She came through the

Youth for Un-

derstanding Pro-

gram, and had

over seventeen

hours in flights

to America.

She lives

in Nonthaburi,

Thailand, near

Bangkok. School

days there went

from 8:00 in the

morning till 4:00

in the afternoon.

So the time com-

parison isn’t that

big of a differ-

ence. Here she

appreciates eve-

ry class, but fa-

vors art most.

Her favorite hobbies include

reading, and playing on the internet.

Her top song artists are Katy Perry and

Justin Timberlake. She participates on

the Central Lake volleyball team.

She says she really enjoys it

here, and thanks all the people who

help her and talk to her. She appreci-

ates how kind everyone is.

Welcome! (Willkommen !)

Felix Dornieden Do you think school is tough

already? Imagine trying to learn new

material in a foreign tongue every day.

This is a challenge one of our foreign

exchange students, Felix Dornieden,

must brave this whole school year.

Felix is from Moenchenglad-

bach, Germany. The population there

is about 200,000- compared to Central

Lake’s of only about 944. He is 16

years old. To get to Central Lake, he

took 4 sepa-

rate flights,

which added

to about 24

hours of

travel time

all togeth-

er. Felix is

here with

us through

Youth for

Under-

standing.

Back in Germany, school

starts at 8 every morning, but the

duration varies by day. The students

are taught different subjects based

on the day of week, very similar to

how college classes work here. Tests

are only taken about every four

weeks there, but they’re bigger than

our tests. Grades 5-12 are referred to

as “gymnasium.” Only about 20% of

people will go to college there after

completing 12 years of school, or they

can complete 10 years and be done

with schooling altogether.

Just as America has its own

special holiday where we celebrate our

independence, Germany has a special

holiday as well. They celebrate the

unification of West and East Germany.

East Germany had been separated from

the rest of the country by the Berlin

Wall. Taking down this wall portrayed

a unified country. They celebrate this

occurrence on October 3rd, with a holi-

day referred to as Germany Unity Day.

Walking to Cure

Juvenile Diabetes

In Traverse City Michigan,

a JDRF Walk was held on Septem-

ber 6, 2014 to cure type1diabetes.

JDRF stands for Juvenile

Diabetes Research Foundation.

It was a beautiful sunny

day with all kinds of helpers and

volunteers there to work. There

was face painting, balloons, T-

shirts to get, and snacks to eat.

The walk was two miles

and there were a lot of people to

participate and help out. The walk

started at Sunset Park and went

along the Bay to M37.

The money collected at reg-

istration goes toward finding a cure

for type 1 diabetes and for kids and

teens to go to this wonderful diabe-

tes camp.

The goal was $41,017 and

the walk raised $37,528.84! That’s

91%! As many as three million

Americans may have type 1 diabe-

tes. Together we are creating a

world without type 1 diabetes.

If you would like to get in-

volved or you’re interested, you

can go to www.JDRF.com. Help us

turn type one into type none.

Review #1: 172 Hours on the

Moon, by Johan Harstad

It's been decades since we

first set foot on the moon. But after

all these years, NASA has decided

to return to the big silver orb in the

sky. A lottery is devised to pick

three lucky teens, chosen to be the

first fated young people in space.

But what lies up there on the cra-

tered, dusty surface of the moon

wants to be left alone. And it will

do anything it has to in order to

make these unwanted guests disap-

pear, one by one.

I'd actually never heard of

Johan Harstad before this book,

and judging by the cover and omi-

nous description, I was a little hesi-

tant in trying it out. I'm not a fan of

horror books, movies, or the like,

and I do not plan on being one any-

time soon. But I was pleasantly

surprised, and I honestly loved

reading it. It starts off pretty slow

(and by slow, I mean I almost gave

up on it), but a chase-scene on the

moon and the ending made up for

it, 100%.

Though, the ending's twist

was admittedly more than a little

unseen. I for one was completely

blindsided, and was utterly sur-

prised, but looking back, there

were absolutely NO signs of it. Not

a hint, not a little detail. Nothing. It

was completely unexpected, and

though I thought it was pretty darn

good, it could have been a little

better with the build-up.

All in all, this was a very

nice sci-fi read, and I'd recommend

it to anyone who, really, wants to

give it a try. It's a hodge-podge of

genres; a touch of horror, mostly

sci-fi, a bit of historical fiction

thrown in there. It was a pretty darn

good book, if I have anything to

say about it, and I'd give it four out

of five stars.

Dear Annie,

So my new teacher is like,

really strict, and I don’t know how

I’m going to get through this year!

I thought this was going to be one

of my best years yet. But I don’t

think the teacher even likes me.

What should I do to survive this

class and make it through the

year?

Sincerely, Nottheteacherspet

Dear Nottheteacherspet,

The best thing I could real-

ly tell you to do is to just be a

good student, mind your own

business, and stay out of trouble.

Try to get on the teachers good

side. Ask questions often; get

good grades in their class, and

most of all stay quiet. Don’t be

one of those kids who always

blurts out in class attempting to be

funny. I mean, yah it’s funny the

first time, but after that you not

only begin to annoy your teacher

but also your classmates. Good

luck!

Sincerely, Annie

Dear Annie,

So there is this new kid in

the grade above me, and he’s kind

of really hot. I’m just a sopho-

more so I don’t really think a jun-

ior would want to like me. What

do you think I should do about the

situation? Because I really want to

talk to him. Like bad.

Sincerely, Desperate

Dear Desperate,

I know way to well what

you are going through, but don’t

let the fact that you’re a year

younger count you out! If you’re

confident enough I’m sure that he

will at least be your friend. Just

take your time in trying to date

him, because he’s new to this

school, and is probably over-

whelmed by all the people trying

to become his friend already. Just

start talking to him, ask how he

likes the school so far; stuff like

that. Just be yourself ok?

Sincerely, Annie

More from Annie

Hey everyone! Welcome back to

school! I hope all of you had a

rockin’ summer. My summer

was pretty awesome, even

though most of it was working. I

travelled some, and hung out

with my friends a lot! What was

your summer like? Anyway, this

school year everything is chang-

ing. Have y’all seen the school’s

new sign? It looks amazing! We

have some new teachers too. I’d

like to welcome all of them to

Central Lake, along with all of

the new and returning students.

Now I hope you all actually got

active and stayed healthy this

summer. Let’s see if we can do

that throughout this year too. My

advice to all of the students this

year is to just be you, have fun,

and just go with the flow. Seri-

ously, let’s not have drama this

year ok? The last thing we all

need is people starting drama

when there does not need to be

any. We are here to learn and

make friends, so let’s do exactly

that. My challenge for you this

month, is to not only be as

healthy and active as you can be,

but to also make a new friend.

See someone alone? Go say hi.

See someone being bullied?

Stick up for them. Also, I under-

stand that some of you are trying

to determine who I am. I will let

you in on one little secret. I’m

not in the journalism class. I am

in another class, which will not

be known. Another thing, sports

have started back up again, foot-

ball and volleyball. We should

all take the effort to show up and

support the Trojans and cheer

them on! Good luck to all of the

players. I wish all of you a good

year! Good luck and I’ll talk to

you all next month!

*You know you love me*

Tr jan Sportz Trojan Football

Update

September 5th the Central

Lake Trojans played at home, hun-

gry for their first win, taking on the

St. Mary Snowbirds. CL would win

the game after a mediocre first half,

and then a dominant second half.

St. Mary got the ball first and punt-

ed on their first possession. Then

while the Trojans were driving up

the field, Isaac Mortenson fumbled

and St. Mary recovered. St. Mary

drove up the field and scored on a

two yard touchdown with no extra

point. The Trojans answered back

with an eleven yard touchdown

pass to Jack Dawson plus the two

point conversion, and the score af-

ter one was Central Lake 8 and St.

Mary’s 6.

To start off the second quar-

ter, St. Mary drove deep into Cen-

tral Lake territory and Tyler Dren-

the picked off a pass at the five

yard line- that CL didn’t do any-

thing with- going three and out. St.

Mary had another short touchdown

run, and failed to get the extra point

again. On the next drive, Isaac

Mortensen connected to Luke Sea-

ney for a thirty yard touchdown,

with the two point conversion. At

the half Cl had 16 and St. Mary had

12.

To start off the second half,

Isaac fumbled and St. Mary recov-

ered at the 50. St. Mary had a 12

yard touchdown run, which took

the lead and they didn’t get the ex-

tra point once again. Luke Seaney

got a 27 yard touchdown run to take

the lead right back, and added a

successful 2 point conversion. On

the next possession, Tyler Drenth

got another interception at the St.

Mary 40 yard line. Trojans then got

another long touchdown from Ben

Hicks, with the 2 point conversion

good. After St. Mary turned the

ball over on downs, the quarter

came to an end with the score Cen-

tral Lake 32, St. Mary 18.

The Trojans got the ball to

start the fourth, but turned it over

on downs. St. Mary returned the

favor, doing the same. Then Luke

Seaney took the ball for a 29 yard

touchdown run, his 3rd TD of the

game, but the 2 point conversion

failed. St. Mary then turned it over

on downs for the third time in a

row. Truman Neer took the ball in

for a short touchdown, and the 2

point conversion put the final tally

on the scoreboard, making the final

Central Lake 46, St. Mary 18.

On September 12 the Tro-

jans traveled to Jo-burg to take on

the Cardinals. The Trojans would

lose a tough one after starting off

strong, but then allowing 29 un-

answered points. Luke Seaney ran

for a touchdown to put the first

points on the board with the 2 point

conversion good. The cardinals

went 3 and out. Cl 8 and Jo-burg 0

after 1. To start off the second quar-

ter Ben ran for a 7 yard touchdown

with the 2 point conversion failing.

Jo-burg had a 4 yard touchdown run

with the extra point.

need to keep those people around

you though. Get rid of the negatives

and introduce more positives.

ryone you know, and even improv-

ing current standing relationships.

Towards the end of the month,

you’ll focus on a new goal. Wheth-

er it’s a self or social goal, it looks

like you’re off to a great start.

Cancer- This month you’ll be

presented with some great new op-

portunities. Be sure not to take

them for granted.

Leo- This month, you’re encour-

aged to have some fun. Take a

break from the tedious tasks you’ve

been dealing with lately and make

some time to do your own thing.

You’ll find yourself feeling less

stress.

Virgo – This may be your best

month for holiday shopping or hav-

ing fun making DIY’s. It is also a

great time to spend with loved ones

and people you hold close. You

may also find pleasure in taking

place in fun hobbies or past times

Libra - This month there may be a

situation that you’re uncertain how

to approach, keep in mind that the

high road may be more beneficial

than expected.

Scorpio - Your people skills are

especially fine-tuned and you are

even more persuasive than usu-

al. This is helpful in all kinds of

areas of your life. You may find it

easier to communicate to your

thoughts to fellow peers and get

your point across.

Sagittarius - This month many

things will be on your mind but it is

your social life that really has your

attention. You are fun to be around

and a team player. As you juggle

school, sports, and social activities,

you’re having more of an interest in

Internet activities or an urge for ad-

venture.

Capricorn – Your social, home

life and school life are all busy with

good things happening. Yes, there

is an occasional challenge or dis-

tressful situation. Overall you are

running around and trying to make

everything come together.

Aquarius – You and a friend may

be having a disagreement or not

seeing eye to eye on a matter. How-

ever the two of you will find an

agreement on common ground.

Pisces – This is your best month

of the year, things will seem to

click into place. You are not simply

lucky, but hard working and ambi-

tious. You social will seem to pick

up, but it will not be beneficial to-

wards your love life. One or both of

these may be affected negatively by

someone close.


The e-Sports Alert

Hello ladies and gentlemen,

my name is CrazeStasis (again,

Craze for short) and this is the E-

Sports alert, an article focusing on

the recent scorings among teams in

recent e-sports (“electronic”

sports). For this article we will be

looking at the current scores for

each team as well as what team

they will face in the upcoming

“knockout stage.”

To begin, let's tally up what

the scores are for each team. The

current win-loss ratio is as follows:

Samsung White- 6-0

Edward Gaming- 4-3

Team Solomid- 4-2

Star Horn Royal Club- 5-1

Samsung Blue- 5-1

OMG- 3-3

Najin White Shield- 5-2

Cloud 9- 4-3

As you can clearly see,

Samsung White has been having a

real nice season, going undefeated

through the six matches they’ve

fought through, meanwhile at the

very back is team OMG with an

equal win-loss ratio of three.

With the eight teams mov-

ing forward to the knockout stage,

they will all now fight each other to

reach the grand finals and become

champion. The current teams put

together are the ones facing each

other in the upcoming stage. Here

are the beginning matches:

Samsung White-Group A

Team Solomid-Group B

Samsung Blue-Group C

Cloud 9-Group D

Star Horn Royal Club-

Group B

Edward Gaming-Group A

Najin White Shield-Group D

OMG-Group C

With this, the teams will

fight in four matches before the vic-

tors clash in the semi-finals, then

repeat the act for the Grand finals

and earn the championship.

With this, my name

has been CrazeStasis, and

I’ll see you all in the next

paper.

First Soccer

Conference Games

The soccer team from Cen-

tral Lake/Bellaire played the first

seven games in the Conference

with six wins and only one loss.

Here are the results of the first

games:

1. Bellaire/ Central Lake 3:0 Ros-

common

2. Bellaire/ Central Lake 2:1 Che-

boygan

3. Bellaire/ Central Lake 0:1 Har-

bor Light

4. Bellaire/ Central Lake 6:1 For-

est Area

5. Bellaire/ Central Lake 8:1 Burt

Lake

6. Bellaire/ Central Lake 1:0 Ros-

common

7. Bellaire/ Central Lake 2:1 Che-

boygan

The team has nineteen play-

ers, so it is a really big team. The

combined soccer team fields six

players from Central lake and thir-

teen from Bellaire.

The home games and every

practice are in Bellaire. The reason

for this is that there are more ath-

letes on the team who live in Bel-

laire than in Central Lake. In addi-

tion to the normal conference and

tournament games, there are sever-

al scrimmages, or practice games

as well.

Gus Szoka

Athlete of the Month from the Var-

sity Football team is Gus Szoka.

Gus is a senior this year and is in-

spired by himself. He is inspired by

himself because he is self-

motivated. As I interviewed Gus, I

asked “If you could be any super

hero who would you be?” he re-

plied, “I would be Master Chief,

because I need and want his ar-

mor.” Gus was nominated by his

coach. Coach Heeke said that Gus

fits the spot very well, being the

captain of the football team and be-

cause he is very hard-working as

well. Gus plays defensive lineback-

er.

-Kyle Russell

Alex Perkins

October’s athlete of the month from

the Varsity Bellaire/Central Lake

Soccer team is Alex Perkins. Alex

is a senior this year. He plays soc-

cer and track. Alex’s inspiration is

Leo Messi because he is the best to

ever play the game. Alex said if I

could have any magic powers, I

would want to read minds.” Alex is

a starter for his soccer team. He

plays right midfielder. Last year he

scored 4 goals and had 4 assists in

his whole season.

-Aurora Pruyt

Haley Patton

Athlete of the month from the var-

sity volleyball team is Haley Pat-

ton. Haley is a senior this year and

she is a starter and outside hitter on

the volleyball team. Her parents are

her inspiration because they do eve-

rything for the family and support

her with everything she does. Haley

also plays basketball and runs track.

Last year Haley beat the school rec-

ord in long jump with 16 feet and 4

inches, but then went on to beat that

record as well with 16 feet and 6.5

inches. Haley is a very good stu-

dent in school and has a GPA of

3.6. Haley’s response to the ques-

tion, “If you could be a super hero,

what super hero would you be and

why?” was, “I would be Elastagirl

from the Incredibles because you

can turn off the lights while in bed

and you can grab food without get-

ting up.”

The (un)grand (mis)

adventures of

CrazeStasis.

Hello, ladies and gentlemen,

my name is CrazeStasis (Craze for

short), and I play video games.

Usually these games bring great,

hilarious, heartwarming, or at times

rage-inducing moments to those

that do play video games (including

and especially me). This is what

this article is about, to give you a

general idea what and how playing

a video game is really like (and no,

I don’t mean a tutorial). So to start,

let’s begin with a game rather fit-

ting for Hallowe-ah crap.

*Sighs* So essentially the

game I’m playing is called Slender,

which I’m playing while a friend of

mine watches...it was not pleasant,

not at all.

For explanation, the main

goal of Slender is to gather eight

pages scattered throughout a map-

made to look particularly like a for-

est or park-with nothing but a flash-

light and a camera in your posses-

sion. The catch is that when you

grab a page, you essentially wake

up the Slender Man (AKA the main

star of the Slender Man Mythos

from the internet).

You can probably tell where

this is going but the first thing I

tried to do in game was find a page

within the map’s lone building, af-

ter finding nothing there I quickly

headed outside to an area with

nothing but tankers-and proceeded

to find my first page. What would

follow for the next few minutes was

me blabbering nothing but gibber-

ish and curses-especially whenever

Slendy decided to say hi-all the

while spinning around so many

times it would make a top dizzy.

What also particularly

sucked was that overtime the flash-

light’s battery died, and since the

darkness in this game can literally

be considered dark (as in you can’t

see an-

ything),

I was

starting

to panic

even

more in

-game

(as well

as get

angry

with the

fact I

strug-

gled to

see anything).

I only barely saw the Slen-

der Man after the first page, but by

the third page he started following

me like a stalker in a horror movie

that can’t be stopped, and by the

fourth page he finally decided to

show himself up close and person-

al, giving us a jumpscare and mak-

ing me leap a foot (and run further

into the woods with my flashlight

off). Finally, in my near blind des-

peration to get away from Slendy, I

stumbled across the fifth page.

By now my flashlight was

completely dead and I was stum-

bling around in the dark like a blind

man would stumble around town, I

was nearly ready to call it quits

since I couldn’t see anything and by

now my nerves would have been

fried...when Slendy decided to

make the decision for me. After a

while I turned around, and right in

my face was none other than the

Slender Man.

My screen went fuzzy, be-

fore going dark, flashing several

times (with Slendy’s head in the

background) and finally going

black one more time. By now I was

mentally shaking, my nerves now

officially taking a vacation in Chi-

na, and my friend laughing his butt

off...it was a

good time,

really?

This is one

of the few

things that

can happen

to people

playing vid-

eo games,

and despite

getting my

pants scared

off; I none-

theless en-

joyed playing with a friend watch-

ing. And with that, there’s the end

of the first article, hopefully next

time I play a game, I don’t nearly

die from a heart attack after jump-

ing five feet into the air.

The CrazeStasis

Corner.

“You done got Swat-

ted, son.”

Hello ladies and gentle-

men, my name is Kenny Berends,

also known as CrazeStasis

(Craze), and I’m here to deliver

news related to the video game

industry and/or the various devel-

opers and creators related to said

subject.

To start with this piece of

news, let’s go back a month to

August 27, namely during the

time when YouTuber Kootra was

streaming some counter strike go

on Twitch.tv...only to get swatted

by a troll (a person who does

something to anger/watch another

suffer for kicks).

For those that “wouldn’t”

know what swatting is, it is the

use of emergency services

(primarily the 9-1-1 dispatcher) to

dispatch to a supposed

“emergency” and deal with the

problem. The catch is that there is

no problem, the report is false and

meant to disrupt whatever the per-

son was doing-in this case, simply

streaming a game of CS:GO.

This is particularly bad be-

cause one of the worst outcomes

of an event like this is the victim

of said event getting killed of all

things. The fact that it is illegal to

begin with only fans the flames

even more.

After the incident, Kootra

was taken into custody but re-

leased shortly afterwards, a video

of said “swatting” was released on

YouTube, gaining over three mil-

lion views. Only two people have

taken claim to the event on twitter

(one called ScrewPain and another

named veri), an investigation into

the incident is ongoing.

Overall, this sad little

event on the internet is simply dis-

gusting behavior overall, with the

video being horrifying and in poor

taste. Those that wish to support

Kootra for the incident can simply

go to his channel, watch some

videos of his, and

maybe subscribe to

his channel.

Thank you all

for reading, I hope to

bring you even more

video game industry

news in the future.

My name has been

CrazeStasis, and I

will see you next arti-

cle...PEACE!

Central Lake drove deep into Jo-

burg territory but turned it over on

downs. Jo-burg had a long drive and

then scored on a 1 yard touchdown

run, and tied the game with the extra

point. CL got into Jo-burg territory

but couldn’t score before the end of

the half the score was 14-14 tie at the

half.

CL got the ball to start the

second half but turned it over on

downs. Jo-burg had another long

drive and scored on a 6 yard touch-

down run and took the lead with the

2 point conversion. Then Ben Hicks-

fumbled and the cardinals recovered

at mid-field the score being Cl 14

and Jo-burg 22.

To start off the fourth Jo-burg

took advantage and scored another

touchdown with the extra point. Then

CL turned it over on downs. Jo-burg

fumbled at Cl’s 20. The Trojans

made a good effort but turned it over

on downs, and that was the last real

possession of the game. The final

score being CL 14, Jo-burg 29.

On September 19th the Tro-

jans welcomed Onaway, looking to

rebound after a tough loss. The first

drive of the game Luke Seaney had a

32 yard touchdown run with 2 point

conversion. Onaway went 3 and out.

On the next drive Ben Hicks had a 9

yard touchdown run with 2 point not

good. On the next drive the Trojans

fumbled and Onaway recovered. On-

away drove deep into Trojan territory

but Gus intercepted the pass at the 5.

The score being CL 14 and Onaway

0.

To start off the second CL

turned it over on downs. Onaway had

a short touchdown run and no 2 point

conversion. The Trojans turned it

over on downs again, and in the mid-

dle of the drive, Jack Dawson left the

game with a shoulder injury. Onaway

turned it over on downs. Luke Sea-

ney had a 12 yard touchdown run

with the 2 point unsuccessful. Ona-

way turned it over on downs once

again. Then the score was CL 20 On-

away 6 at the half.

To start off the half Onaway

had to punt. Luke Seaney had a 4yd

touchdown run his 3rd touchdown of

the game 2 point conversion good.

Onaway had a long drive and they

were near the end zone at the end of

the quarter, with the score CL 28,

Onaway 6.

To finish their long drive,

Onaway punched it in from 2 yards,

and converted their 2 point conver-

sion; this was the last score of the

game. Both teams punted on the last

two possessions of the game, and the

Trojans walked away with a win, Fi-

nal score CL 28, Onaway 14.

On a rainy October 3rd the

Trojans faced the Forest Area Warri-

ors for their home coming game.

CL would blow the Warriors

out to the point of a running clock in

the second half with a very convinc-

ing win.

After Forest Area turned it

over on downs to start the game, Jake

Szczepanski punched the ball in for a

1 yard touchdown, and the 2 point

good. After a Forest area punt, the

Trojans scored again on an 8 yard

touchdown pass from Isaac Morten-

sen to Zeb Collins, and the 2 point

was good again. On their next drive

Isaac threw a 33 yard touchdown

pass to Ben Hicks, 2 point no good

this time. At the end of the first quar-

ter, the score was CL 22 Forest Area

0.

At the start of the second

quarter the Trojans had a rushing

touchdown by an undetermined play-

er, with a successful 2 point. The

Trojans would later have another

touchdown, which was not noted, but

the 2 point was no good, and that was

all the scoring in the second quarter.

The score at the half was CL 36 For-

est Area 0. During the half Jack

Dawson, and Haley Patton were

crowned homecoming king, and

queen.

The running clock started in

the second half. On the first drive of

the half Ben Hicks had a 56 yard

touchdown run, which would end up

being the final score of the game,

with the two point conversion no

good. The rest of the game included

two fumbles by each team, but there

were no other scoring plays, making

the final score CL 42 Forest Area 0.

Cheer Squad

Thrives on Spirit

This year’s 2014-15 Trojan

cheerleading squad came back strong

thanks to Coach Lisa Hoogerhyde.

This football season, there

are a total of eight cheerleaders on

the squad. Senior Tineka Witt of two

years, Junior Alex Diller of three

years, Sarah Schluckbier of two

years, Dezert DeYoung of three

years, Andrea Shafer of nine years,

Marley Kendall of nine years, Laura

Chase of three years, and Alexis Mi-

chael of three years.

Since August 12th of this

year, the Trojan cheerleading squad

has been working on a few new

cheers, motions, and stunts. They’re

starting off the season with new uni-

forms, new cheers, and they have

even started stunting again.

So far this year, they have

been to Jo Burg, Pickford, and Inland

Lakes for varsity games. This year,

we didn’t have a Pop Warner cheer-

leading coach, so sadly there won’t

be any Pop Warner cheerleaders this

football season.

In addition to cheering for

the varsity team, the squad also helps

decorate the inside and outside the

school.

When asked, “How is cheer-

leading a sport?” The Trojan cheer-

leading squad replied, “The truth is,

there really isn’t a solid definition of

“official” sport. We throw 100 plus

pound girls. We’ve been hit, kicked,

scratched, elbowed, kneed, and we

shake it off because you have to keep

going.” So when you see your Trojan

cheerleading squad, thank them for

all their support.
