CL Trojan Timez: November, 2014 Issue [email protected] page 1

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.

-Danielle Prate and Haley Bearden

The Lady Trojans decorated with district medals and the trophy!

Celebrate!


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.

Trojans celebrate a playoff victory.

ferent schools and stays up on

what’s happening in different

sports. Learning new cheers, and

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

from wrong and always to stay

strong and to never give up.”

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.”)


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).


Reviews and Opin-

ions: November.


my name is CrazeStasis and

this is a brand new article.

Here I give you an idea on

when the newest video games

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.
