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.

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

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.

October
Horoscopes
Aries - Encountering a stressful
situation? Getting away then com-
ing back to it may shine light on a
new perspective.
Taurus- You may be feeling a lot
of negative vibes from those around
you lately. This is putting you in
worse spirits as well. You don’t
need to keep those people around
you though. Get rid of the negatives
and introduce more positives.
Gemini- During the first two or
three weeks of the month, you are
quite the people person. You are
getting along really well with eve-
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!

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

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.
