Description:	JanisBerzinsAny student of Mr. Janis Berzinshad heard about his deep passionfor gourmet food. I had a neighborwho was a great cook, I loved smelling his food, Mr. Berzins said. ButMr. Berzins favorite part of cookingwas seeing others enjoy his food, especially his own creations. I like tomake pork medallions with arugula,he said. But the secret to his Italianand Asian inspired cuisine was goingthe extra mile and purchasing qualityingredients. Some people think itscrazy what I do, Mr. Berzins said,on Saturdays I go to at least threeplaces for my groceries, while somethings I order [through other venues].Mr. Berzins strived to make his cuisine the healthiest it could be, workingdiligendy to leave out preservatives.Some of the most commonly used ingredients in his food were garlic andbalsamic vinegar. -EMILY ROGERSMatthewHoaglandMr. Matthew Hoagland always enjoyed both history and painting. Whilein high school Mr. Hoagland learneda hobby that combined both interests- war gaming. This craft and hobbyusually involved two or more players,victory conditions, miniatures, a board,and several rules for playing.To play the game, Mr. Hoagland usedhis own hand-crafted solider replicas.The process of making the pieces isnot an easy one; it took a lot of hardwork, dedication and talent. Ivepainted thousands of miniatures overthe years, Mr. Hoagland said. Someof the replicas have even sold on eBay,and he made a considerable amount ofprofit from his hard and tedious work.Typically he tried to spend his occasional free time in his gaming room,which was mostly on Saturdays. Instead of watching TV, I game, its justlike every other hobby in that sense,Hoagland said. -EMILY ROGERSHIt was weird seeing theteachers not teaching.—senior Anissa McKibbenon seeing teachers participate inSouths step aerobics class.teachers off campus \| ACADEMICS \| 15
