Creative solutions sought for area parks Fees, partnerships possible solutions to lower budgets Christie Bleck

| cbleck@lsj.com

here’s little question that many people in the area like their parks, with their ballfields, picnic facilities and hiking trails. That said, it really might, as the saying goes, “take a village to raise a child” — or in this case, a park. How to provide parks to benefit the greatest number of people is a huge challenge, especially in the light of ongoing fiscal difficulties in the region and state. Take Mason’s Rayner Park, for example. For decades a county park, it had been closed recently because of budget problems. An estimate showed it had cost about $44,000 for the county to maintain the park. The city of Mason stepped in, and entered into an agreement with the county in which the city will pay $1 per

year through Dec. 31, 2016 to lease the park. The city has the rights, after meeting agreement terms, to buy the park for $1. However, that leaves the city with the burden of maintaining Rayner, along with its other parks. Rayner encompasses 59.9 acres and includes a woodlot, ballﬁelds, a castle-like play structure and ponds. “It really is a gem of a park,” City Administrator Marty Colburn said at the July 19, 2010 City Council meeting. In last year’s Nov. 2 election, residents in an advisory vote supported an additional millage of up to 0.5 mills for the ﬁscal year beginning July 1 of this year to maintain Mason parks. The millage would have raised up to an $106,000 for FY 2011-12 and would cost a household with an average taxable value of $57,000 an additional tax of up to $28.50 per year. However, city Finance Director Eric Smith said staff absorbed the park costs into the budget with no additional millage for residents, relying instead on volunteers. Colburn said the parks budget for Fiscal Year 2011-12 is $163,595.

Rayner Park wasn’t the only park in jeopardy recently. Tiny 16-acre Baldwin Park, located in Onondaga Township, could have been a victim of the budget axe as well. “There was talk about the county commissioners that they would like it

RODNEY JEWETT/FOR LCN reverted back to the township,” said Willis Bennett, director of parks for Ingham County. However, members of the county Park Commission visited the park and saw what Bennett called its “positives.” Those included a picnic area, a shelter, ballﬁelds and a scenic location on the Grand River. “We have some great river frontage,” Bennett pointed out. After looking at Baldwin’s attributes, he said, the Parks Commission decided it wanted to keep it as a county park.

Bennett said volunteers have been working on and off at the park, “which we are very thankful for.” Bennett acknowledged the situation is similar to Rayner, but the expenses to maintain the Mason park are much higher.

Options

Bennett said the county’s largest parks, including Hawk Island, Burchﬁeld and Lake Lansing, can meet many needs, See PARKS, Page 5

The ofﬁcer had to explain to her that her rationale was skewed and it was her responsibility to cease authoring and sending messages as the complainant had requested — no extra work required. The complainants agreed with the settlement and that there would be no more communication from them to her, either.

Problems at apartment

May 18: An officer responded to a drug overdose of heroin at a Mason apartment building, and the victim was reported not to be breathing. Before the officer arrived, another call was received that the victim was convulsing. When the officer and medical personnel arrived, the victim was attended to and taken to an area hospital for treatment. While at the address, the officer noted the residence was without power, the only supply of which was from an extension cord running to a neighboring unit. Checking further, the officer found the victim had just been released from jail that same day after being arrested by the Michigan State Police on outstanding warrants for automobile theft and theft of gasoline on May 17.

Driver cited

May 19: An officer witnessed a car being driven by a person the officer recognized as having a suspended driver’s license and stopped it as it was pulling into and parking at Bond Park. The driver, who said he was just driving to the park to skate, was confirmed as having a restricted driver’s license and cited for violating the restrictions.

Harassment alleged

May 19: A Mason resident reported a harassment-by-email complaint because of threats she received from her child’s grandmother who lives in a New England state. The complainant stated the suspect had not seen the child but once in nine years and was now threatening to call Child Protective Services because she took the child on a cruise. The complainant wanted the emails to stop and will attempt to obtain a personal protection order. The ofﬁcer called the suspect who stated she was reporting the mother because one child had broken his arm (determined to be an accident) and another had been left with an adult babysitter for a day. The suspect was told the complainant did not want any more communications and the matter is closed.

Flood fun curtailed

May 20: A citizen, who was concerned for the safety of two teenage girls playing in the ﬂood waters of the Sycamore Creek in Lee Austin Park, called to report their activities. The ofﬁcer stopped and talked to the pair who decided to leave the area on their own.

dence through an unlocked window. The only known item taken was a Panasonic ﬂat-screen television. Nothing else was obviously disturbed. Follow-up will be conducted.

Quarrel query

May 22: A domestic disturbance was reported to be in progress inside the apartment of a Mason complex. Neighbors reported hearing yelling and loud banging from inside the apartment. However, by the time the officers arrived, both quarrelers had left on foot. The mother of the female half was located and stated the quarrelers were her daughter and daughter’s boyfriend. While checking the area, the officers noticed the male half looking out at them through the apartment window. Investigating further, they found the daughter had also returned, but the boyfriend slipped out the back after seeing the officers. Why he fled, no one knows. He wasn’t wanted and no assault had occurred; however, he did leave without incident, and the matter is closed.

Passes verbal test

May 22: Ofﬁcers were summoned to do a welfare check on a Mason apartment complex resident after the complainant heard loud bangings coming from his neighbor’s apartment. When the ofﬁcers attempted to check the resident’s welfare, the

man responded by yelling and swearing at them through the closed door, refusing to open it. Efforts to check on him further were met with more insults. Noting he was at least able to communicate, the ofﬁcers left and notiﬁed the complainant.

Money troubles

May 22: A threats complaint was taken from a Mason resident who stated the problem started over money he was owed. The complainant explained that he had a friend who had fallen on hard times so he had loaned him a phone to use for awhile. He added that after receiving a $600 phone bill for charges made by the friend, he tried to call and work out the debt. The friend has been ignoring him, but he has heard from the friend’s father who wanted work done. The complainant stated he refused the work because of the problems with the son, and has since been receiving vulgar and threatening text messages. The matter remains open.

Pam was diagnosed with MS in 2001. Six years later, she was faced with a miserable life of depression, fatigue, pain and bladder issues. Fear of needing a feeding tube, being wheelchair bound if not eventually bedbound and she was on 10 prescription drugs and not one of them made the symptoms go away. In 2008, Pam was introduced to what is called cellular nutrition. It was then she discovered how very important diets affect our health. A startling statistic showed that about 85% of illnesses are diet related. Within 6 months of changing Pam’s dietary lifestyle, her symptoms began to fade away. She no longer spent the day in bed watching the world pass by her. The aches and pains subsided, the depression vanished. She was once again able to walk without falling down. She quit choking on her food. Life once again was worth living. – Pam Bullen FREE MS support groups that are not funded by any Originations LJ-0100096330

under the inﬂuence of alcohol. The complainant alleged that the suspect was drinking vodka from a Mountain Dew bottle while riding in the car and began touching her leg, after which she became frightened and wanted him out of the car. The suspect alleged the complainant picked him up in Leslie and was driving while drinking beer from the open 12-pack found on the center console. Both the complainant and suspect were cited for transporting open intoxicants. The complainant was released after a ride was called for and had arrived. The suspect was taken to an area hospital for detoxiﬁcation after being tested and producing an .l29 breath-alcohol level.

Needle know-how

May 23: An officer was dispatched to a Mason residence about a found needle and syringe. The complainant stated her son had found a syringe across the street at a neighboring apartment complex. The boy was not punctured by the needle, but it did scratch his thumb. The complainant Hitchhiking perils had already contacted Mason Urgent May 22: An officer was dispatched Care, and they had advised her on to a trouble call at Cedar and Colum- how to treat the scratch and told bia streets.

including swimming, picknicking and even boat rental. “There’s a whole variety of activities that can be had within each park,” Bennett said. That raises a question, according to Bennett: What losses would affect park “customers” the least with budget cuts? He acknowledged that some underused sections of parks might not be mowed anymore. Bennett also said that it will be several more years before the challenged county budget situation straightens out. Until

“While it hurts, we were able to reduce without affecting what our customers will see when they visit our parks,” Bennett said. Bennett did point to an increase in vehicle entrance fees. Residents will pay $3 per visit or $30 for an annual permit. Noncounty residents will pay $5 or $40. “Other than that, we are working as a team to watch every penny we spend, reducing expenses everywhere and still trying to provide the same service our visitors have come to enjoy,” Bennett said.

Partnerships

The Rayner situation might crop up in other municipalities. Barring new developments, the Eaton

County Parks Department will continue to operate Fitzgerald Park in Grand Ledge for another decade. The county and the city reached a tentative agreement for the 80-acre park, located on city-owned land leased to the Eaton County for the past 30 years for $1 per year. That lease had expired in 2010, and the county told the city it couldn’t renew the lease without a city contribution. The city’s Parks Commission approved the proposed agreement that calls for Grand Ledge to take over maintenance of all park roadways and about 20 percent of the grass-cutting. “I think it’s good for the city and I think it’s good for Eaton County,” said

Eaton County Parks Director Dan Patton in the Sept. 5, 2010 Charlotte Shopping Guide. “Keeping Fitzgerald Park, the ledges here, the uniqueness of the facility — I think it’s a win-win for both governmental units.”

Historical value

Parks also have a historical Value. On May 22, a ceremony was held regarding Rayner Park receiving an ofﬁcial historical marker from Ingham County. The park was started in 1872 by William Rayner, oldest son of local pioneer John Rayner. In 1931, the county Road Commission bought the park, making Rayner the ﬁrst county park.

city park in 2010, Colburn said city crews as well as volunteers from both the city and surrounding areas have kept up with maintenance. “That being said, we’re on the right road,” Colburn said. Mayor Leon Clark noted he wanted to “clone” volunteer Jim Maddix, who’s been instrumental in spearheading the local volunteer effort. Maddix, for his part, credited the many volunteers who have helped, noting in a May 23 email, “Without the efforts of people ranging in age from 4 to 80 this would not be possible.” Clark said at the ceremony, “If it wasn’t for volunteers, we wouldn’t be able to maintain this park.”

then, the Parks Department will have to do “more with less” — a cliche that Bennett acknowledged he doesn’t like to use. Bennett said staff is looking at “a lot of small steps” to save money instead of eliminating entire staff positions. “A lot of communities, townships and cities do reduce their parks,” Bennett said. “But in reality, people need access to green space.” The Ingham County Board of Commissioners for 2010 reduced parks appropriation by 26 percent, according to Bennett, and this year it was reduced another 13 percent. There is no ﬁxed information about the 2012 budget this early in the budget process, he said.

MASON — A plan approved on May 23 redraws Ingham County commissioner district lines, squeezing out one mostly suburban district as well as one urban district. In a 4-1 vote, the county’s Apportionment Commission approved the plan, which gives the county 14

commissioner districts instead of 16. Barring a successful appeal, the new districts will go into effect in 2012. “It’s gerrymandering — at least some of it is,” said Ingham County Republican Party Chairwoman Linda Lee Tarver, who cast the lone vote against the plan. “There is some (attempt to create) a political advantage, which is in violation

ANNIVERSARY Scutt

Don and Jean Scutt of Mason celebnated 60th anniversary on May 19. Everyone is welcome to join them in celebrating at an open house from 1-4 p.m. Sunday, June 12 at the Aurelius Baptist Church Family Center, 4419 W. Barnes Don and Jean Scutt Road, Mason. No gifts.

of the law.” The ﬁve-member commission, according to state law, must include the heads of the two largest political parties in the county. The other three members are the county’s clerk, prosecutor and treasurer, who in Ingham County are all Democrats.

‘Status quo’ In an interview, Commissioner Mark Grebner, D-District 10, said the new districts model changes in population and “maintains the status quo.” Via email, Commissioner Steve Dougan, R-District 14, said, “It’s just one more time where county government is abusing the rural townships to the beneﬁt of the urban areas, but in this case, the abuse of the rural townships is from county Clerk Mike

Bryanton, county Prosecutor Stuart Dunnings and county Treasurer Eric Schertzing, who are the majority of the apportionment committee. “They’re doing their best to mufﬂe the voices of rural Ingham County by trying to gerrymander out one of the four seats that represent that part of the county.” A plan approved Monday redraws Ingham County commissioner district lines, squeezing out one mostly suburban district as well as one urban district. Ingham County Prosecutor Stuart Dunnings III presented the approved plan, one of three the commission considered. Dunnings said it was the one that most clearly followed state law and created districts that were as close as possible to being the same size in terms of population.

The plan makes Meridian Township two whole districts, rather than including part of it in a third. It also creates a district that includes much of Delhi Township, although that district was drawn to include part of south Lansing. Keeping entities such as Delhi Township together was the most important factor, Dunnings said, adding that Lansing had to be broken up slightly because of its population decline. Since 2000, Delhi Township’s population has increased by more than 3,300 residents, according to this year’s census — the biggest jump in the county. By contrast, Lansing’s population declined by about 5,000. Five rural townships, Lansing Township as well

as the towns of Webberville and Leslie, saw small population declines, totaling about 1,100. The rest of the county — including East Lansing, Mason and Williamston — either had modest or signiﬁcant increases in population. Democrats now hold a 12-4 majority on the Board of Commissioners. Kris Zawisza, a Lansing resident who has observed the process on behalf of the League of Women Voters, said it was important that the commission represent the people’s interest, rather than the interests of individual commissioners, and keep communities intact. “I think you’ve done a very good job,” Zawisza told the commission.

Go worldly with Summer Reading

his summer you can visit the intriguing world of China’s Middle Kingdom, explore the mysterious secrets of the world’s oceans and study the threatened black rhinoceros of Kenya. Does that all sound a little beyond your budget? It isn’t. All this and much more will be brought to the Dansville Library as part of the 2011 Summer Reading Program, “One World, Many Stories.” Armchair travelers will have the opportunity to delight in the fascinating culture, music, art and wildlife from a variety of countries the world over, expanding your horizons and evoking the thrill of discovery. We will register children and teens for the Summer Reading Program beginning June 10. After receiving a reading log,

AT THE LIBRARY Thais Rousseau they simply keep track of their reading time to earn a variety of prizes. Summer in Dansville also means free family entertainment. Every Wednesday at 2 p.m. from June 15-Aug. 10, the library will present a program at the Dansville Village Hall. For example, our kickoff event on June 15 features magician Ming Louie, transporting us to China’s Middle Kingdom with magic, story, and song. Ming will draw on the legends of his birthplace, bringing traditional Chinese stories and folktales to life, then ending

with a magical twist to a modern Chinese game. On June 22, our Animals Around the World Storytime will include animalthemed stories, games and crafts. At 1 p.m. every Thursday, travel the world of imagination with familyfriendly movies at the library. We’ll even throw in the popcorn (while supplies last). Call (517) 623-6511 for titles. We can help adults explore the world, too. Get a taste of Tuscany by reading our June book discussion selection: “Juliet,” by Anne Fortier. Main character Julie Jacobs makes her way to Siena on the mysterious instructions left to her when her Aunt Rose dies. She discovers that her mother was researching a possible connection between Shakespeare’s

“Romeo & Juliet” and a true story rooted in her own family’s history in Siena. Discuss this tale of mystery, history, and literary treasure hunting at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, June 21. The Dansville Library, a Capital Area District Library, is located at 1379 E. Mason St. For information about our hours, programs or services, call (517) 623-6511 or visit cadl.org.

Sixth-graders connect with far-away friend

Christie Bleck

| cbleck@lsj.com

MASON — Youngsters keeping in touch with each other has come a long way since the ol’ pen pal days. Students in sixth-grade teacher Casei Marlan’s class at Mason Middle School are corresponding with classmate Leutrim Beka, who is in Kosovo until July 4 visiting with his family. Leutrim’s also keeping up with his lessons. All this is being accomplished via a password-protected Website Marlan and instructional support teacher/technology coach Ted Berryhill have set up, www.leutrimbeka.weebly.com (weebly.com provides free Website software for users). Marlan said students ask questions, which are passed on to

Leutrim for an answer. “He’s very open about telling about his history,” Marlan said. In the social studies segment of the Web site, there is a map along with the headline, “Where in the World is Leutrim Now?” For example, Leutrim was asked to compare Mason with Kosovo. He replied the roads in Kosovo are rocky and dirty, and there are “old type of cars “ there. The difference in dress? Leutrim’s verbatim answer: “They all dress the same but sweater are the most thing wear.” Leutrim also posted a photo of a ﬂag paying tribute to the people, including youngsters, who died in the conﬂict in that country. The correspondence works both ways.

ested in what he’s had to share so far,” she said. Marlan acknowledged it’s an extra task in relaying Leutrim’s lesson plans through the Website, but it’s been worth it. Those plans include an ecology unit, visiting “Study Island” to earn blue ribbons, math problems and writing a personiﬁcation of a favorite object. Poetry also has been a major lessons focus. This is Leutrim’s “I Am” poem, which was posted on the Website. I am Family, Living, Respected Really love Kosovo and all my family in it. Loyalty, Charisma, Determination are important to me. I ﬁnd everything acceptable in me

In appreciation to all our friends and relatives, we wish to thank each and everyone for their support and many acts of kindness shown us during our loss and we thank you for being such nice neighbors and friends. The family of Russell E. Moore

“We wanted him to still feel connected back to Mason and the kids in his classroom,” Berryhill said. The Website also represents a “ﬁrst” in keeping people connected, according to Berryhill, although he stressed the Website is not to be used for when students go on family vacations. “This is the ﬁrst time where it’s been something like this, which we’re trying to accomplish through technology,” he said. It appears the connection has been successful. Marlan said kids are disappointed when Leutrim doesn’t make a recent post. “They like to hear from him,” she said. Marlan said she also hopes the students learn from the experience. “They’ve been very, very inter-

Family the one I could not do with out. I am Berryhill said he envisions similar technology to share items like reading blogs and social studies projects between the schools in the district. In the meantime, students are embracing modern technology to keep in touch with a friend and classmate several thousand miles away. “This is what makes them want to learn right now,” Marlan said.

LANSING — Kristin Phillips of Mason is the winner of the 2011 Kathryn Lindahl McCheer Off Scholarship. The award was announced at a ceremony May 12 at Holt High School. Phillips also received the Girl Scout Gold Award. She was honored by Girl Scouts Heart of Michigan for her leadership and dedication to community service. Phillips is a member of Troop 30483. The Lindahl McCheer Off Scholarship, an annual award, goes to a Girl Scout from the Lansing Region who attends Michigan State University. Lindahl initiated the scholarship in 1999 as a partnership with McDonald’s, MSU women’s basketball and Girl Scouts. The Girl Scout Gold Award, awarded by Girl Scouts of

Break-in reported VEVAY TWP. — Ingham County sheriff’s deputies arrested a Jackson man after he allegedly broke in to a construction business. The man, 29, is in the Ingham County Jail after authorities said he threw a brick through a window of Lovell Contractors, 1681 Hull Road. An employee discov-

the USA, is earned by only 3 percent of Girl Scouts, ages 14 through 18, across the country. The highest achievement in Girl Scouting, it calls upon each girl to develop a service project, putting her leadership skills into action by beneﬁting her community. The Girl Scout Gold Award is the equivalent of the Eagle Scout Award in Boy Scouting. Phillips worked with the Ingham County Animal Shelter to make the shelter more appealing to visitors and to streamline the lobby. Working with the shelter director and her grandfather, Phillips built and installed a storage bench in the lobby. While working on the bench, she noticed that many of the cats sat in their litter boxes. To remedy the unhygienic situation, Phillips built 26 raised cat beds out of PVC piping and fabric and donated them to the shelter. She raised funds for the project by conducting several animal-related badge workshops for younger Girl Scouts. A graduate of Mason High School, Phillips now attends Michigan State University in the Residential College of Arts and Humanities. She credits a Girl Scout mentoring opportunity with her decision to become an author. Her parents are M.J. and Richard Phillips To learn more about Girl Scouts Heart of Michigan, call 1-800-49-SCOUT or visit www.gshom.org.

According to volunteer Sally Beebe, “If we could place some of the dogs we have at the shelter until June 4, we know we could not only make room for more animals arriving at the shelter but we’ll also learn more about the animals in foster care. That information will increase their adoptability tremendously.” The volunteers insist it will make a life-and-death difference for so many dogs.

MASON — Girl Scouts Heart of Michigan (GSHOM) honored 18 volunteers from Mason at the Lansing Regional Girl and Adult Recognition Event, held May 12 at Holt High School. Roberta Somerville was honored with the Thanks Badge, the highest adult award in Girl Scouting. Mary Arnold, Traci Bergeon and Cynthia Hyaduck all received the Honor Pin. (These awards were originally announced at the GSHOM council wide volunteer recognition luncheon on April 30 at the Kellogg Center at MSU.) Somerville has made her mark as director of the popular Mason Day Camp. Last year, Somerville traveled throughout the 34 counties of the GSHOM, raising awareness of the beneﬁts of camp and recruiting attendees and volunteers.

She has also served as a troop leader, registrar and fall product manager. Arnold is known as a Traci v o l u n t e e r Bergeon who serves, not in the spotlight, but quietly getting things done behind the scenes. Other volunteers say she has a strong moral compass that guides the older girls in her troop. As the area manager for Mason, Bergeon makes sure that the 25-plus troop leaders in her area have the information and resources they need. She also volunteers as a facilitator, training other volunteers in CPR/ﬁrst aid and water safety. Hyaduck serves as treasurer for the Mason area, troop leader, craft leader at

Mason Day Camp and craft director for the Cadette Invasion Summer We e k e n d . She is well Mary Arnold known for her organizational skills and her ability to hold the girls’ interest by reworking a craft on the spur of the moment. Tamara Beach and Anita Rustem were named “Outstanding Volunteers.” This award is presented to a volunteer (not a troop leader) whose service is beyond the expectation for the position and beneﬁts at least one Girl Scout area or program delivery unit.

Outstanding Leaders Honored as “Outstanding Leaders” from Mason were: Shelly Bagley, Melissa Bigelow,

Michele B u r t o n , M o n i c a Bush, Gloria Every, Karen Hassenk h a n i , M o n i c a Roberta N o r t o n , Somerville Diane Lantto, M.J. Phillips, Sarah Ricketts, Deb Schunk and Shelly Smith. This award is presented to a troop leader or assistant leader who demonstrates performance beyond normal expectations. Bagley, a new leader for a ﬁrst-year Girl Scout Brownie troop, involved older girls in some of her troop’s activities to show the Brownies that Girl Scouting is for older girls as well. Bigelow is known as a detail person who keeps her troop of Girl Scout Juniors busy, motivated and ready to learn.

MASON — Mason senior Sean Wren was ready to get back into track this year, missing his junior season after undergoing two sports-related hernia surgeries. Wren more than made up for the missed time, winning the 110- and 300-meter hurdles, along with taking first in the pole vault to help the Bulldog boys dominate their Division 2 regional meet on May 20. “I think that was a lot of my motivation because I had to sit and watch last year,” Wren said. “I’m back now and it’s my time.” Mason scored 139.5 points at the meet, well ahead of second-place Battle Creek Harper Creek’s 70. Wren posted times of 14.65 and 39.63 seconds in the 110- and 300-meter hurdles, respectively, and cleared 13 feet, 9 inches in the pole vault. Other multiple qualifiers for Mason were Tanner Hinkle in the 1600- and 3200-meter runs and Ian Way in the high jump and the long jump. Mason Vandyke and Joe Cecil each qualified for the state meet in the 3200-meter run, Ben Hinamanu

will compete in the 100-meter dash, Trey Hornberger qualified in the pole vault and Jon Geer qualified in the 800-meter run. Also, Mason’s 1600- and 3200-meter relays qualified for the state finals. The Mason girls finished third as a team in their regional, with 59.5 points, and five Bulldogs qualified for the state meet. Cimone Diggs posted a state-qualifying time of 12.8 seconds in the 100-meter dash, Cassidy Hass qualified in the 3200-meter run with a time of 11:43.9, Emily Reader’s pole vault of 6 feet, 4 inches sent her to the state finals, as did Maycee Robinson’s shot put of 36 feet, 1 inch and Ashley Yallup’s time in the 800-meter run of 2:24.80. The Division 2 State Finals will be held at Houseman Field in Grand Rapids on Saturday, June 4. The Bulldogs were scheduled to compete in the CAAC Red league meet at Waverly on May 25, but the meet was postponed due to rain to May 26, after this paper went to press.

Mason boys track team wins regional meet

Ingham County Community News

Mason heads to districts Scott Yoshonis syoshonis@lsj.com

MASON — The Williamston soccer team advanced to the CAAC Gold Cup final, and avenged a loss from earlier in the season, with a 3-1 semifinal win over Mason on May 24. Previously, the Bulldogs defeated Williamston 1-0 back on April 14. Lisa Vogel scored one goal and assisted on another for the Hornets, in her first game back from an ankle injury suffered on May 4. Mason coach Christie Hursey said that the better team won. “They (Williamston) played well,” Hursey said. “They came out and executed. We had several chances that we definitely should have converted, but that’s something, obviously, that we have to address.” Gabby Garza and Adrienne Watts scored the other Williamston goals, but it was Mason who controlled the play early and nearly scored three minutes in, when Katie Smith let loose a blast from about 20 yards out that hit the crossbar and caromed straight down behind Hornet keeper Caitlyn Clem. The Bulldogs kept Williamston back on their heels for the bulk of the first half, creating several good chances, but their failure to convert would come back to haunt them. The Hornets opened the scoring against the run of play when Garza was taken down in the Mason box for a clear penalty. Garza stepped up and placed the resulting PK to the left of Mason keeper Emily Bartlett to make the score 1-0 with 11:04 left in the first half. “Mason carried the play in the first half, but

Mason’s Katie Smith (11) and Williamston’s Samantha Wright (12) fight for possession during the Hornets’ 3-1 win over the Bulldogs in their CAAC Cup Group 1 semifinal game on May 24. ALAN HOLBEN/FOR LCN we got the PK, which helped,” Flore said. “In the second half, I though we picked it up and really played well.” The Bulldogs started the second half just as they had the first, and nearly tied it up less than three minutes after the break, when a long Mason free kick to the top of the box fell to Dani McNeilly, whose left-footed shot forced Clem to make an acrobatic, diving save to preserve the Hornet lead. Vogel doubled that lead five minutes later, when she took a diagonal through ball on the rightwing side of the Mason penalty area, deftly lost her defender and placed a perfect shot inside the far post to make the score 2-0 with 32:24 left in the game. Williamston took control of the contest from there, but Mason made it interesting with a goal with 7:16 left, when Christine Harrison headed on a cross from the right wing to McNeilly, who headed

it just over Clem and under the bar to make the score 2-1. Vogel then helped ice the game in the final minutes, taking a long free kick by Clem down the right wing, drawing two Mason defenders to her and crossing to a wideopen Watts, whose tap-in goal with 2:29 on the clock made the final score 3-1, and sent the Hornets to their third CAAC Gold Cup final in the past four years. Hursey gave Williamston credit for converting the chances that her team did not. “When we’d make a little mistake, they made us pay for it,” Hursey said. “They definitely played the better game today.” The Bulldogs will begin district play at East Lansing against CAAC Red foe Jackson Northwest on Tuesday, May 31. The district semifinals will be played on Thursday, June 2 and the championship game on Friday, June 3.
