It is time to gather ‘round a roaring campfire under a moonlit sky and listen to tales of the strange and unknown. Have you ever wondered what inspired those stories? Ever stopped to think that this lovely, simple mitten state could actually be hiding the strang- est and most bizarre happenings of our time? On Friday, September 16, John E.L. Tenney, a cast member of the A&E show “Paranormal State: The New Class” and an enthusiast of the very strange, paid a visit to Schoolcraft College and shed some light on the myster- ies of the Great Lakes State. “Did you know that there have been more missing planes and ships over the Great Lakes than in the Bermuda Triangle?” Tenney asked the crowd in the midst of weaving a tale of how the Air Force had been watching a mysterious blip on their radar, finally sending a jet to scope the area. The jet and blip began Photo by Brian Camilleri to inch closer and closer and closer when suddenly they "Paranormal State" star John E.L.

The women of Schoolcraft soccer thrive on the challenge to work harder than their opponents, their team- mates and themselves. The Ocelots are always pushing and encouraging each other to be better. “This quality makes it a joy to work with them and be part of the team,” said Head Coach Deepak Shivraman, the new coach of the Schoolcraft team. He says that the team’s playing style is comparable to that of FC Barcelona. The Lady Ocelots have a possessive style of play, which works for them offensively and by curbing pressure on their defense. Players worthy of special attention include the three team captains – sophomores Renee Boudrow, Ashley Weldch and Lindsay McMullen.

By Billy Blueturtle Verlander: Staff writer MLB's version of the boogeyman A Detroit Tigers playoff preview

With the Major League Baseball play- offs only days away, the Detroit Tigers are preparing for their first postseason since their World Series run back in 2006. Rather than entering October as a wild card, this year’s Tigers managed to claim the American League Central Division crown – the team’s first since 1987. By clinching the division on Sept. 16, the Tigers had more than two weeks to rest position players, reset the pitching rotation and audition minor league addi- tions for inclusion on the postseason roster. The rest was well deserved and a welcome change from the disappoint- ing collapse of 2009 when the team blew a three-game division lead in the final four games of the season. A 12-game September winning streak played a pivotal role in securing the division crown. Another key factor in winning the AL Central was the outstanding season-long performance of pitcher Justin Verlander. With one start yet to play, Verlander boasted a 24-5 record with a miniscule 0.91 WHIP and a dominating lead in the AL Cy Young award race for the season’s best pitcher. Verlander’s play has been so impressive he is even garnering con- sideration for the Most Valuable Player award, an honor not bestowed upon a starting pitcher since Boston’s Roger is a major reason the Tigers are cruising they have repeatedly managed to hold Clemens in 1986. As of Sept. 21, Verlander to the postseason.

Historic Fort Wayne The site of Fort Wayne has played a major role in many wars, even before the Forts construction. The surveying of Fort Wayne began in 1840, with construction of the Star Fortification in 1845 followed by the building of the limestone barracks in 1848. During the Civil War, starting in 1861, Fort Wayne was used as a staging ground for all troops leaving Michigan, and as a place for wounded veterans to recover. At the start of World War I, Fort Wayne began shipping out cars, trucks, and spare parts for the military. Fort Wayne really hit its shipping peak in World War II when becom- ing the designated motor supply depot. The Fort had employed over 2,000 people during the war, mostly civilians. At the end of the WWII, they began to close the fort, and in 1948 the Star Fortification and limestone barracks was given to the City of Detroit’s Historical Commission to become a military museum. In the 1950s the Fort was outfitted with anti-aircraft guns. In 1953 distribution of the Nike Ajax missile began, and Fort Wayne was one 240 launch sites upgraded with these. Through the Cold War, Korean War, and Vietnam War, Fort Wayne served as a staging ground for thousands of soldiers awaiting deployment. Now, there is still a presence of the Army Corps of Engineers, but 83 acres of the original 96 acres belong to the City of Detroit and is maintained by Detroit’s Recreation Department, who welcomes volunteers to help out in all aspects. Not only is the Fort interesting because of its intense history, but there is also a Native American Burial Mound still in existence there, with at least two burials remaining untouched. Also on the grounds, tucked back in the corner of the land in a isolated warehouse, is stored thousands of historical artifacts, most popular to the “Bubble Cars”. Over 60 vehicles kept safe from the elements inside self-inflating and filtered plastic bubbles, including a 1963 Cougar II concept car by Ford, which is one of only two made. With over a hundred years’ worth of history in their collection of cars, not to mention all the other items they keep in the climate controlled warehouse, visiting Historic Fort Wayne would definitely be an experi- ence to be proud of.
