Central Lake
Tr jan Timez November, 2014
The Quiz Bowl team travelled on October, 17th to the
North Central Michigan College in Petoskey and finished in 6th
place among 12 different schools, winning four out of seven
rounds . It was the first competition for the team on the October,
17th but now they have monthly a competition at the North Cen-
tral Michigan College in Petoskey.
The team meets weekly for practice during 3.1 seminar
and they also play different Trivia Apps against each other for
practice. The most important App for this is Trivia Crack where
you have your own account and then you can play in different
categories against people you want
During the competition, there are usually one or two
persons who ask the questions and they sit between the two
teams. . Quiz Bowl competitors have to buzz to answer a ques-
tion and every person has their own buzzer.
Every team has a team captain and for Central Lake team
it is Connor Zook. Contestants are allowed to answer at any point
during the question, however during a Toss Up, if you answer
early, before they say "for ten points", and you are wrong, your
team is penalized 5 points. On a bonus question, the team captain
has to submit the answer, but not during Toss Ups. The Toss Up is asked first, the bonus questions (typically three) are awarded to
the team who answers the Toss Up correctly.
After ten rounds of Toss Ups and Bonuses, there is a
Lightning Round. Lightning Rounds consists of
10 questions for each team; the team that is
losing gets to select the category (out of two
presented) that they wish to answer. The op-posing team has the opportunity to steal
these questions if the other team does not answer cor-
rectly.
The whole team was very happy with the result on their
first competition. “I am very pleased with the results of
our last competition. Even though we placed 6th (out of
12), it was our first meet, and all the other schools have
attended in previous years,” said team captain Connor
Zook. The team is looking forward to their next compe-
tition on November, 21 when they hope to make a better
result after more practice. Good luck to our Quiz Bowl
team and have fun on your next competition!

National Honor
Society Tutoring
Program a Success
New this year is the Nation-
al Honor Society tutoring program.
Mrs. Hoogerhyde, the N.H.S. spon-
sor, commented that twice a week
the N.H.S. members have chosen to
tutor students. Student tutoring
takes place on Mondays and Thurs-
days during 3.1. Tutoring provides
help with any subject.
Teachers make suggestions
as to which students may need help,
however any student can take ad-
vantage of this opportunity. Some-
times help from other students and
peers just seems easier to interpret.
National Honor Society
members enjoy the opportunity to
help strengthen the understanding
students are lacking, on any topic.
The time is well spent, helping stu-
dents, and friendships are being
created with upperclassmen. In just
one week of tutoring, improvement
has begun to show in students’
grades.
Mrs. Hoogerhyde also said
that having help is better than doing
it alone in seminar or even at home.
Anybody can come and get help,
even if it’s on one section of any
topic.

Ferris STEM Event
Well Attended
The Central Lake and Ells-
worth students participated in a
STEM event at Central Lake High
School on Thursday the 23rd of Oc-
tober.
STEM stands for Science,
Technology, Engineering, and
Math. During the Ferris State event
the speaker Doug Zentz included
what Ferris State offers for engi-
neering classes, the ratio in a class-
room of students to teachers, and
what HVAC is and what it does.
Some engineering classes
that they provide at Ferris State are
Plastics Engineering, Rubber Engi-
neering, and Welding Engineering.
The ratio of teachers to stu-
dents in a classroom at Ferris State
is 1:16. HVAC is an abbreviation
for Heating, Ventilation, and Air
Conditioning. HVAC helps many
people in buildings for air condi-
tioning on a hot day or heating on a
cold day all over the world.
After Zentz was done ex-
plaining all of the courses that Fer-
ris State had, the groups did a fun
experiment. All of the groups got
two plastic bags, six cotton balls,
two straws, one Styrofoam cup, two
paper plates, tissue paper, masking
tape, three rubber bands, six tooth-
picks, and one egg. The goal of the
project was to make a contraption
that consisted of only the materials
that were listed so that you could
drop the egg in your gadget you
made from 8-10 feet without the
egg breaking.
-Kyle Russell and Darren Zook
Allie Hines, Marley Kendall, Michael James, Sara Dorland and Trevor Tayler work
together to create a “basket” or device to preserve their egg prior to letting it fly.
STEM students release their eggs and protective devices. Scrambled eggs anyone!

Little Monsters
Elementary Parade On Friday October 31, Hal-
loween, the elementary students
had a Halloween parade that was
held indoors because of the nasty
weather that was stirring about out-
side.
All of the students, and even
some teachers, dressed up and
marched around the elementary
gym showing off their creative cos-
tumes. There were a variety of cos-
tumes, some scary, some funny,
some cute, and some strange, but
all were amazing nonetheless.
Parents came to watch and
took pictures while the students
walked around the gym. After pa-
rading around the gym these stu-
dents went back to their classrooms
and had their own little Halloween
parties with quite a bit of festive
goodies to dig in to.
Having this parade indoors
most definitely did not stop these
little ones from having a good time.
Don’t you wish you could go back
to elementary school?

Central Lake’s
Newest Club:
Equestrian
Central Lake has a new club and
it’s called the Equestrian Club. The Eques-
trian Club is basically a horse club.
Sara Dorland is in this Equestrian
Club, and she’s been in it for about five
years. She has just started Equestrian
meets this year though.
Equestrian meets are held every
other weekend. She had her first meet on
the first week of school, and then the next
week, she competed Saturday and Sunday
which counted as two meets.
She rides four to five days a
week, although she does ride at least once
a week during show season.
She owns a Tennessee Walker/
Standardbred cross named Thunder. She
competes with Thunder but, she also rides
other horses when she gets the chance. She
also works at a boarding barn.
After she got Thunder, she also
had this dream of competing, so last year,
she started taking riding lessons. That’s
how she got interested in the Equestrian
Club.
The meets take place at the Gay-
lord Fair Grounds. Throughout the day,
different classes take place. Sara competed
in Western Showmanship, Hunt Seat Fit-
ting and Showing, Hunt Seat Equitation,
Western Horsemanship, Trail Class, Flag
Race, Barrels, and finally, the Keyhole.
Sara loves the competitive
nature of Equestrian. She participat-
ed in almost every class but, she
really enjoyed the Flag Race the
most.
-Chloe Kwiek
Sara Dorland and Thunder
Thanksgiving Memories When asked what they’re thankful for, many students responded with
something very similar, friends and family.
Of the students interviewed: Elijah Newton, Brooklyn Allen, and Chloe
Kwiek they all wrote that their favorite Thanksgiving memories took place with
their grandparents. Chloe enjoys one particular memory focusing on when she
went to Frankenmuth one year with her family to celebrate. Brooklyn mentioned
her favorite year as when she went downstate and had dinner with both sides of her
family.
In Elijah’s family they celebrate with a big Thanksgiving meal, including
the traditional turkey, and enjoy a Lions game. Chloe’s family also celebrates with
the traditional meal, and a visit to her grandparents’ home. This year Brooklyn’s
family will be celebrating with her grandparents and uncle.

Tr jan Sportz Soccer Conference Threepeat
The soccer team Central Lake/Bellaire won on 10/09/14 in Claire against Harbor Light- the Conference
trophy with 2-1.
This was the third consecutive year that our team won this Conference. Central Lake/Bellaire had a re-
ally good beginning and Nick Underwood scored the 1-0 in the fifth minute. After the goal, Central Lake/
Bellaire had a couple of good chances but did not score. So at minute 30, Harbor Light scored the 1-1 with a
header. After a foul on the goalkeeper from Central Lake/Bellaire, the second goalie had to come into the
game for 5 minutes. He saved a very good shot from Harbor Light against the post. So the score at halftime
was 1-1.
The second half started similar to the first. Central Lake / Bellaire played very well and had some
prime scoring opportunities. Harbor Light only defended their own goal. But in minute 58, Ryan Cybulla from
the Central Lake/Bellaire team scored with an amazing shot over the goalie, the 2-1. After this goal the team
was only in the defense to save the 2-1 to the end of the game. This worked and Central Lake/Bellaire won the
Conference Cup with an end result of 2-1.

Central Lake / Bellaire Soccer Division Game
The soccer team from Central Lake/Bellaire lost their Division
game against Charlevoix, 9-4, on October, ____ in Charlevoix.
The team from Charlevoix scored two goals in the first five
minutes. So it was really hard for Central Lake/Bellaire to continue with
their normal system. Charlevoix scored five more goals in the next 20
minutes. They scored with long balls to their fast striker who finished the
chances. It was really hard for the defense because the soccer field was
really deep and full of water. Before the halftime, Central Lake/Bellaire
scored two goals. Alex Perkins scored first directly from a corner kick,
and Nick Underwood, from Bellaire, scored the second goal. So the
halftime result was 7-2.
The second half started better for Central Lake/Bellaire because
Charlevoix didn’t get a goal in the beginning. However, around the 60
minute mark, Central Lake/Bellaire realized that there was little chance
to win the game. So both teams scored two more goals because both de-
fenses made mistakes. Nick Underwood from Bellaire scored both goals
for Central Lake/Bellaire. The second half was much better for Central
Lake/Bellaire than the first one, but it was not enough to win this game.
It was also the end of the season for the soccer team.

Middle School
Football Goes Unde-
feated
The Central Lake Middle
School football team went 5-0 this
fall which looks pretty good for our
football future. Coach Dustin Rog-
ers said that the team was led by a
lot of 8th grade leadership, and a
solid group of 7th graders who will
continue success next year and be
good leaders to new team members.
The undefeated Trojans won
all their games by the following
scores: 20-12 over Mancelona, 32-
26 over Gaylord St. Mary, another
win over Mancelona, this one by
the score of 20-0, 22-6 over Forest
Area, and another win over St.
Mary, this time by the score of 34-
18.
The coaching staff would
like to give a big thank you to the
parents for all the effort they put in
for their kids, and for working the
home games. Also, a big thank you
to all the players for making this a
special season for the Central Lake
community. Hopefully, next sea-
son will be just as good for the
Middle school Trojans.

Varsity Volleyball
District Champions
Districts for Central Lake
Varsity volleyball kicked off on
Monday November 3rd with a win
by the Lady Trojans against the
Ellsworth Lancers.
Although the Trojans had a
slow start, they picked it up by the
second game and took the game in
three.
The Lady Trojans returned
Wednesday with another win
against the Gaylord St. Mary’s
Snowbirds. This game was the clos-
est out of the three district games. It
took all five matches to get the win,
with the fifth match won by only
the two point advantage. The final
score was 17-15.
Friday, our own Lady Tro-
jans won District Finals in three
matches against Bellaire. The first
match was a close 29-27, followed
by 25-16, and finally 25-19 to take
the District title. It was a sweet
week to be a Trojan.

District Finals vs. Baldwin
Coming off a big win in Frankfort, the Trojans
put their focus on Baldwin, looking to be crowned dis-
trict champs for the first time since 2007. CL scored
all their points at Frankfort in the 4th quarter, and they
appeared to take that momentum into this game, as
Luke Seaney ran for a touchdown on the first posses-
sion of the game, and they added the two point con-
version. The next two possessions were both very
long, and they resulted in a Baldwin turnover on
downs, and a Trojan punt, which ended the first quar-
ter with CL up 8-0.
Baldwin kicked off the 2nd quarter with their
first score, a 30 yard rushing touchdown with a good
two point to tie the game at 8. After CL gave them the
ball back, they had another long touchdown, this one a
40 yard pass to give them the lead. But the Trojans
responded with a big play of their own, a 35 yard
touchdown run from Ben Hicks, and the two point
conversion was good, tying the game at 16. Baldwin
then drove down the field, and looked primed to score
again, until Luke Seaney caught an interception in the
end zone,
stopping the Baldwin offense. At the half the score
was tied at 16.
The second half did not start well for the Tro-
jans as it only took Baldwin 3 plays to go 70 yards
downfield for a touchdown, giving them the lead
again. Baldwin scored again after a Central Lake punt
making the score 32-16. Then, after both teams punt-
ed, CL got the ball back, and appeared to be driving
until Ben Hicks came out with an ankle injury-- did
not return. The third quarter ended with the score 32-
16 in favor of Baldwin.
The Trojans still had the ball to start the 4th
when Isaac Mortensen connected with Luke Seaney
for a 30 yard TD pass, putting the Trojans within 8.
But the momentum went right back to Baldwin as they
scored on a 40 yard run their next possession. They
scored again after a CL punt, this one a 50 yard run
touchdown run, which pretty much destroyed any
hope of a Trojan comeback. A turnover on downs on
the following possession sealed the win for Baldwin,
and ended the Trojan season with a 46-24 loss.

being on top of homecoming are
the most challenging things about
cheerleading. Sarah says she’s not
intimidated by large crowds, “You
just try not to look at any one per-
son.” She enjoys being with friends
and family. Sarah inspiration is her
Grandpa John and Grandma Vickie.
“They always told me what’s right

Catching up with the Cheerleaders
We are all so proud of the Trojan varsity cheerleading squad! Even though it was raining most of the
football season, the whole Trojan cheer squad still had lots of fun!
For the cheerleaders, November is another busy month. Now that the football season is officially over
and basketball season is in session, we have gained two new cheerleaders: Kayla Yankee and Sadie Newton.
Sadie and Kayla, both freshmen this year, are very excited to join the cheerleading squad. The rest of cheer
squad is all very excited to teach them all the cheers, stunts, and show them what it’s like to be a Trojan cheer-
leader.
The Trojan varsity cheer team is hoping to have their first official practice on Monday, November 17th
in the high school cafeteria at 3:30. This basketball season we are expecting more stunting and new cheers!

BOOK NOOK
Review #2: Between the
Devil and the Deep Blue
Sea, by April Genevieve
Tucholke
"You stop fearing the Devil when
you're holding his hand."
In a sleepy little sea-side
town, the life of Violet White is
about to
be
changed
forever.
When a
mysteri-
ous
stranger
by the
name of
River
West
strolls
into their
little
burg, strange things begin happen-
ing. Children claiming the Devil
took one of their own. A man com-
mitting suicide in the middle of the
town square. Rumors spreading like
wildfire of dark magic in their
midst. Could the charming River be
the cause of all this? Violet hopes
not, but then again, aren’t the most
suspicious always put to blame?
I’d never heard of Tucholke
before this book, happening to
glance at it in the bookstore, and
though I thought the title to be a
little…for lack of a better word,
cheesy, I’m really glad I decided to
give it a try. A mix of genres,
“Between the Devil and the Deep
Blue Sea” is probably one of my
favorite books, despite being writ-
ten in 1st person. It moves fast, is
packed to the brim with magic, and
has the sort of romance so few
books nowadays seem to capture.
All in all, Tucholke’s book
was a great read. I normally tend to
shy away from anything even re-
motely considered a romance, and
though it was entirely unexpected, I
kind of think it added to the magic
of the book! I would highly recom-
mend this to anyone willing to try
something new, and I would give it
four out of five stars.

The (un)Grand (mis)
Adventures of
CrazeStasis.
Hello ladies and gentlemen,
my name is CrazeStasis, and some-
times I get confounded by other
people and what they do-and no, I
don’t just mean in a multiplayer
setting. So to start off, let’s follow
my adventure to finish a map in the
PC game, “Race the Sun.”
It all began with me pur-
chasing the game on Steam (for ten
dollars by the way) along with an-
other game (which if you watch my
videos will recognize as my Hal-
loween special). Since I was saving
the other for Halloween, I decided
to play this game first.
It was a rather entertaining
game where you had to run an end-
less gauntlet of levels while trying
not to crash into various objects and
making sure the sun is still in the
sky (no sun means no power to
move your ship, and no power is
game over). It was rather challeng-
ing too, as I’ve only managed to get
to the third area only a few times.
What would also make this
game entertaining, was that it was
Steam Workshop compatible
(meaning you could simply sub-
scribe to a mod or level and it
would be added to your game), so
I decided to get several levels
from the workshop, one level in
particular caught my eye.
I can’t recall the name
(though I do know “king” was a
part of the name), but this level
arguably seemed inspired by the
second Hobbit movie- specifically
the Lonely Mountain scenes- and
it showed through the level de-
sign, such as statues, a cave, and
the dragon that tries to attack you.
This level hooked me from
the beginning, and for a while I
played the game trying to get out
of the cave. Finally I decided to
try and finish it once and for all.
On this try I started off nor-
mally, dodging whatever debris
were in the level and gathering
whatever pickups I could find.
Then I entered the opening of the
mountain and started dodging the
small stalagmites sticking out of the
ground. This was all going well,
then the dragon appeared. Spikes
started falling down, the dragon
tried to stomp on me, but I man-
aged to get past the part that got me
every time. I kept going, and going,
and going before I saw the end. I
dodged the last stomp, stayed up in
front of the ramp...and crashed into
the bottom of the ramp, it was ap-
parently slightly elevated enough to
kill you.
Needless to say, I flipped. I
screamed profanities and confusion
at the computer screen before
ragequitting, and I haven’t been
back on the game since (and now
that I’m talking about it, I feel like
going back to play it some more).
This is only one event in
several that could happen in video
games, and this is arguably one of
the few moments that, in this case,
incites rage in people. But in the
end it’s all in good fun, and that’s
what matters with video games.

YouTube as CrazeStasis)

The CrazeStasis
Corner:
Do YOU answer the
Call of Duty (“No,
cause I don’t have
enough money.”)
Hello ladies and gentlemen,
my name is CrazeStasis
and...there wasn’t any notable
news in the video game indus-
try these last few weeks.
That’s disappointing, consid-
ering that this article is all
about the news of video
games. So to fill in the void,
today I’ll report about the re-
lease of a game I said I would-
n’t look at in a previous article
(Note: look at the Reviews
and Opinions article, it’s really
helpful)
Call of Duty: Advanced
Warfare has been released as
of Tuesday, November 4. It’s
the eleventh installment in the
franchise and set in a new con-
tinuity from the rest of the
franchise (only sharing a simi-
lar future setting like Black
Ops, and the second half of
the name in “Modern War-
fare”). On another note, it’s
also considered a spiritual
successor to the original
Modern Warfare trilogy.
The main difference in
this game and other addi-
tions of the Call of Duty
franchise is the inclusion of
an exosuit that allows for
improved freedom of move-
ment and many other super-
human abilities. This notable
factor changes up the game-
play of multiplayer consider-
ably, and makes the game a
“supposed” improvement
over other Call of Duty
games.
“Supposed” of course,
since I don’t have sixty dollars
to purchase the game with.
But considering the positive
reviews by critics, a better re-
ception by gamers, and con-
sidered to have a better PC
port than Ghosts (for those
wondering, the PC port for
Ghosts is said to be abysmal/
terrible, while Advanced War-
fare is stated to be much bet-
ter), It’s safe to say that Call of
Duty: Advanced Warfare
could be a good entry in a
franchise that recently seems
to have lost steam with the au-
thor.
So there it is, Call of
Duty: Advanced Warfare in
the paper, if this game is not as
good as this article implies it
is, then I’m signing off from
any Call of Duty for the rest of
my life. For now, my name
has been CrazeStasis, and I’ll
see you in the next issue.

on YouTube as CrazeStasis).

Hello ladies and gentlemen,
my name is CrazeStasis and
this is a brand new article.
Here I give you an idea on

are being released (or already
have been released) and give
you a small amount of my
opinion on it (note: you can
disagree with my opinion en-
tirely if you don’t like it). So
to start, lets begin with one of
the best selling FPS’s of all
time...ugh.
Call of Duty: Ad-
vanced Warfare-release
date: Nov. 4
My Opinion: its a Call
of Duty game, I really am be-
yond caring for this series an-
ymore. Before you say that its
a lot different and actually in-
novating, I recommend look-
ing up Titanfall (AKA the
game COD:AW is COPY-
ING). If anything, the only re-
deeming thing about this is
Kevin Spacey in story mode.
Assassin’s Creed Unity/
Rogue-release date: Nov. 11
My Opinion: I would
almost write this off as much
as COD, but Assassin’s Creed
at least tries something differ-
ent in every game, and this
ones no exception. Rogue in
particular seems interesting
for focusing on the enemy of
the assassin’s this time instead
of the assassin’s. The only
problem, Ubisoft apparently
struggles with female models
in AC then their other fran-
chises.
FarCry 4-release date: Nov.
18
My Opinion: OHMYGOSHITS-
FARCRY4ITCOMESOUTWI
THINTHEMONTHOHMYG
OSH!!!
*ahem* Yep, glad its
coming out this November!
Little Big Planet 3-release
date: Nov. 18
My Opinion: Honestly,
I can’t give an opinion on this
one since I haven’t played
much Little Big Planet. I can
say, however, that I’m glad its
coming to PS3 and PS4, so
hurray for Little Big Planet 3?
Super Smash Bros for Wii U
-release date: Nov. 21
My Opinion: I really
wish I had a Wii U, because
this game looks nice. Granted,
I haven’t played it in a while (I
did play Melee at a friends
once when I was staying
over), but since I have played
a previous iteration and game-
play remains relatively un-
changed each game, I’m confi-
dent to say that SSB will be
very good.
And there you have it, the lat-
est video games coming out in
November. Give us feedback
if any of these game peak your
interest, until then have a nice
day.

Aries- Militarism which is charac-
teristic of Aries is inappropriate and
even dangerous this month. As
soon as you start noticing dark
clouds gathering on the horizon, try
to do everything possible to prevent
a storm. If you don’t restrain your
emotions and your actions, you
may suffer.
Taurus- Be careful when doing
routine work especially if it is
closely tied to constant interperson-
al contacts. An ordinary problem
this month could transform into a
universal catastrophe. You may
have to deal with a demanding visi-
tor or unhappy customer and a typi-
cal situation may prove unpredicta-
ble.
Gemini- Overall balance, both ex-
ternal and internal, is becoming
Gemini’s saving grace this month.
Don’t rush your judgment on any
events. You may find yourself in
the state of an emotional shock or
mental halt which will hardly aid
the objectivity of your opinion.
Cancer- Cancer is not able to stop
events from taking place, but it can
adjust its behavior. Your frame of
mind as well as your manners will
largely define the atmosphere in
your family, at school and even
within an occasional group of
friends. Learn to quickly recover
from stress and be optimistic about
changes.
Leo- Extraordinary people may
surround Leo this month. You
might find yourself butting heads
with Aries. You’ll receive unex-
pected news and announcements.
You may also introduce some
changes into how you communi-
cate, things you enjoy and some of
your plans.
Virgo- Virgo’s needs may grow
more numerous this month. You
shouldn’t shy away from solving
arising problems – it is time to
change your strategy. Your future
(as well as your present) insists on
it. Think how you can increase your
revenues by using progressive tech-
nologies and contemporary meth-
ods
Libra- People of higher authorities
are inclined to ask the seemingly
impossible of you. Many Scales are
in competition with others who
pose surprising strategies, close
calls, and household technical trou-
bles. Under such conditions you
have nothing left to do but stay in
shape and be confident in your de-
cisions.
Scorpio- Turbulent atmosphere at
the beginning of November can
throw Scorpio into a state of stress.
However, you will remain distant
or disinterested in the events
around you if they have no direct
impact on you, a current project, or
family.
Sagittarius- This is a time of
change in a social group or team
close to you. Sagittarius’ friends
may question your popularity or
other envied characteristics you
may possess, as a result they may
end up choosing – more fit in their
opinion – person.
Capricorn- This week will prove
to be full of systematic changes –
both big and small. Your usual rou-
tine may be disrupted with new
challenges and people. This
week’s events may help you make
an important decision about your
future.
Aquarius- Recent events have
been anything but predictable.
Many of the Water Bearers will
simply be bewildered, as will many
others. You’ll find things like new
regroupings of social groups or sur-
prising appearances of old friends.
Pisces- Impressionable Pisces can
become victim to dramatic situa-
tions that have nothing to do with
Pisces itself. Depending on the cir-
cumstances you will either join in
on the panic and drama, or take a
step back and let it work itself out.
