GL police, city settle contract By ALAN MILLER

World War II veterans listen as Russ Hilding, a former B17 pilot, shares his story with a standing-room-only audience at the Delta Township District Library Nov. 4. L to r: Bill Carter, Carl Kentner, Hilding, Ernst Floeter, Jim Perkins, Chuck Greenough.

Area WWII vets share powerful stories By MARY JO WHITE

mjwhite@lsj.com

DELTA TWP. - Navy gunner Carl Kentner lived through 40 direct air attacks at Okinawa. Bill Carter watched the American ﬂag raised at Iwo Jima. After he was shot down by the enemy, Russ Hilding wound up a prisoner of war in the Buchenwald concentration camp after being arrested by the Gestapo. These 65-year-old memories, as vivid as if they had happened yesterday, were just some of the stories presented by six World War II veterans to a spellbound and grateful audience at the Delta Township District Library Nov. 4. The other three veterans

were Chuck Greenough, Jim Perkins and Ernst Floeter. Greenough, who had never ﬂown before he volunteered at 19 for the Army Air Corps in 1943, was shot down after 32 successful missions. “It was my worst day,” he said. “I thought it was going to be a milk run and we’d be home just across the channel.” Instead, Greenough landed in a corner of a ﬁeld and crawled under some briar bushes, waiting to be captured. Hilding, a bombardier, was also shot down after he lost an engine and had to bail out with a huge hole in the plane’s left wing, wondering why the aircraft didn’t blow up. All 10 of the crew mem-

bers survived, with Hilding sent to Buchenwald, then on to a regular prisoner of war camp. “I won’t describe what I saw there,” he said of Buchenwald. Carter was an eager beaver of a teenager, teaching a freshman math class in his senior year of high school. But the young man with so much initiative didn’t expect to live another week when he arrived at Iwo Jima, where he would witness an iconic event that has come to symbolize WW II for many people. “It was a wonderful, glorious sight to see the ﬂag go up,” Carter told the audience. Kentner, who weighed 160 pounds when he was drafted and 129 pounds when he

came home, said his job was to “shoot down airplanes.” In fact, there was a message on his ship’s conning tower that read “He who shoots first lives.” Time, however, has given Kentner a broader perspective. “When I look back at 85, (I ask myself),” he said, “was I shooting airplanes or shooting people?” Perkins, sent to bomb an oil refinery in enemy territory, remembers the bravery of the Tuskegee flyers. “They would pick us up at the enemy border and escort us,” he said. “How much we appreciated them!” Floeter had, perhaps, the most unusual story. Drafted into the German army as a young man, he never beSee

GRAND LEDGE — With almost no money to work with, negotiating labor agreements can be difficult. But apparently not impossible. After more than four months working with an expired contract, the City of Grand Ledge and the union representing its police officers reached an agreement to give them two years of labor peace. The tentative agreement was ratified by the employees Oct. 26, and the city council approved the contract at their Nov. 8 meeting. After more than six negotiating sessions, the parties called in a state mediator to assist with negotiations, and after two more meetings, the city and the Fraternal Order of Police reached agreement. “The negotiations were harmonious,” said City Administrator Jon Bayless. “I don’t get the feeling anyone went away from the table feeling bad about the process.” In spite of tight finances, Bayless said Grand Ledge is better off than many oth-

Donald McGillis, who negotiated on behalf of the supervisory unit of the union, agreed the negotiations went smoothly and productively with the mediator’s help. “We put ourselves in the city’s position, and they put themselves in our position,” McGillis said. “We met in the middle. We didn’t get all we wanted. They didn’t get all they wanted.” Each side got small gains in the contract, which covers the period from July 1, 2010 through June 30, 2012.

G.L. City Hall celebrates 40th birthday lated $536,000 in a capital improvement fund, earmarked for a new city hall. However, Bayless said the city would need to accumulate approximately half of the $5 to $6 million a new building is expected to cost before construction could begin, since the city has made a commitment not to increase taxes for a new building. “If we were to issue bonds for that amount, it would be a real challenge,” he said. “We would like to have a down payment in the range of one half of the project.” The city is also discussing other possibilities, said Bayless, including a potential re-purposing of the now closed Greenwood Elementary School.

GRAND LEDGE — At their Nov. 10 meeting, the Grand Ledge City Council paused to recognize the 40th anniversary of the original dedication of the City Hall. The recognition comes in the midst of a discussion of the future home of city government, as the building’s inadequacies for the 21st century become more apparent to the city’s current leadership. Kalmin Smith, the current Mayor of Grand Ledge, emphasized that the building was not being re-dedicated. “I want to commemorate it, but not re-dedicate it, because that might mean we will be here another 40 years,” said Smith. Over the life of the city, there have only been two places from which city business was conducted. In 1885, the Village of Grand Ledge commissioned construction of a building at what is now the corner of Bridge Street and West River Street at a total cost of $3,323.85, including the cost of the land. For the next 85 years, that building, which now houses Ledge Craft Lanes, served as the seat of local government, and during those years 42 different mayors conducted their business there. On Halloween 1970, Mayor Alvin Kempf cut a ribbon to usher city government into their new City Hall on East Jefferson Street, as the city took over the 30 year old former church building which the congre-

gation of St. Michael’s Catholic Church had outgrown. Wendell Wilkins, the Mayor Pro-tem at the time of the move described it as “a big improvement over what we had been used to.” However, since the city moved into its current headquarters in 1970, the building has aged, with roof leaks, crumbling cement, and even sewage leaking into the Police Department in the basement. City Administrator Jon Bayless said current city leaders believe they need to make an improvement over what they have become used to over the past 40 years, but with city ﬁnances tight and no improvements on the horizon, that will be difﬁcult. Over the past several years, the city has accumu-

Community Thanksgiving planned By ALAN MILLER alanmiller@lsj.com

GRAND LEDGE — On Thanksgiving Day 2010, as in 2009, volunteers in Grand Ledge will get together to serve dinner for a few hundred of their neighbors. Event planner Christine Richardson said she hopes to at least match last year’s totals, with more than 850 meals served by more than 180 volunteers. She said the event is not just for those in need of a meal, but for anyone without other plans who would like

to share Thanksgiving dinner with friends and neighbors. It is also an opportunity for learning about people helping each other. Committee Member Colleen Austin, who manages the Flagstar Bank branch in Grand Ledge, said she ﬁrst learned about the event through Mayor Kalmin Smith’s newsletter. “I have two little kids, 6 and 10, and I have been trying to ﬁnd an event over the holidays to broaden their horizons,” she said. “I told them about this,

and they wanted to help.” There will be seating for at least 200 at a time, and dinner will be served from 1-3 p.m. Richardson said the meal location will move from Louis Soma’s Our Dance Studio to the Masonic Temple on West River Street, which will not require tables and chairs to be brought to the site, set up the day before and taken down the day after. Five different churches will use their kitchens to prepare eight whole turkeys and more than a dozen turkey breasts to go with gallons

of stufﬁng, mashed potatoes and gravy. These will be supplemented with the traditional cranberry sauce, green bean casserole, corn, pumpkin pie and cake. Richardson said volunteers are still needed to help with cooking, to work as runners during the meal and as drivers to pick up any shut-ins or seniors needing a ride. Anyone interested in volunteering, or who would like to donate toward the meal, can telephone Richardson at (517) 983-2444.

from six percent to seven percent, and will change to a prescription plan with higher co-pay amounts for non generic drugs. McGillis described the result a “win-win.” Bayless said he was pleased to be able to reach mutually satisfactory contracts. “I think everybody feels good about

a one percent pay increase immediately following contract ratiﬁcation, and a second one percent raise next July 1. Employees agreed to increase their share of health insurance premiums

them” he said. “I think they are good contracts.” Bayless told the council the city still needs to reach agreements with the UAW, which represents all civilian unionized employees, and then will need to consider adjustments for non-union employees.

A beautiful fall season of Great weather made for a spectacular Color Cruise/Island Festival. It’s the best color cruise that we have had in many years. Three days of warm sun and blue sky helped to bring thousands of people to Grand Ledge. A special “Thank You” to all of those that volunteered their time to make this such a big success. As we turn the page on the calendar the Christmas Season is rapidly approaching. The Chamber of Commerce will sponsor the Christmas Parade on FriChamber day Dec. 3 at 7 p.m. corner Those wanting to participate with a float/entry Susan Sasse please submit your application soon. Those applications can be obtained at the chamber office (627-2383)or on the Chamber web site www.grandledgechamber.com. Again this year the Sun Theater will provide a movie for the children after the parade. This year the Chamber office will be open to accept canned goods and winter coats/apparel for the Grand Ledge Food Bank. As you come down to watch the parade please stop by the Chamber office and drop off your items for those in need. The entire weekend is filled with special events around town. The Christmas Home Tour and Opera House Festival of Trees and Table settings are among the many events. The flags that fly over the bridge normally would be taken down and stored for the winter. However, this year we don’t have any flags to be taken down. Just before Memorial Day this year the Chamber of Commerce purchased all new flags.

They were installed and looks so beautiful flying over the bridge in honor of our veterans. However, again this year the vandals struck. The vandals have stolen or destroyed all of the new flags. It’s hard to believe that someone would get joy from destroying the flags that fly in honor of our veterans. We have tried several methods to secure them but with out much success. Through out the winter months we will be exploring another method to try to secure them so they can’t be stolen. They WILL fly again for Memorial Day. Chamber Membership drive is now under way. Yearly membership invoices have been mailed out to our currant members. Chamber membership is available to everyone. You do NOT have to be a business owner to be a member. There are many benefits to being a chamber member. Of course our foremost purpose is to continue to promote our community. Join the Chamber and help us keep our community thriving. Call or stop by the Chamber office for a application. 627-2383. The Chamber sponsored a breakfast for the “German Exchange Students.” What a great group of young adults. They were welcomed by Chamber president George Vollman and Mayor Kal Smith. Each student was presented with a framed photo of the “Sites of Grand Ledge” another photo was taken at the breakfast of the entire group and given to them in remembrance of their stay here in Grand Ledge. The photos were taken by Ron Nichols owner of Image Projections. The Chamber of Commerce wishes all of you a happy holiday season. Please remember to drop off food and clothing items for those in need. All items will be taken to the Grand Ledge Food Bank. Submitted by Susan Sasse, Treasure

Residents voice concern about Carrier Creek bridge By MARY JO WHITE

mjwhite@lsj.com

DELTA TWP. - About 35 Delta residents concerned about a proposed bridge over Carrier Creek showed up for a Department of Natural Resources and Environment hearing Nov. 3. The bridge would span the creek in a wetland area as part of the next phase of the township’s East -West

Connector between Creyts and Canal Roads. The ﬁrst phase, a concrete path running from Sharp Park to Creyts and providing access to the Lansing Mall, is in the ﬁnal stages of completion. The township has already applied for a DNRE permit required because of the wetland. Residents told DNRE representative Tom Kolhoff they feared erosion, loss of

St. Gerard Parish sets craft show

DELTA TWP. - St. Gerard Parish is holding its annual Craft Show Saturday, Nov. 20, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.. The event will be in St. Gerard’s Weber Hall (lower level, behind school), 4437 W. Willow, Delta Township. There will be a large number of vendors participating, featuring arts, crafts, gifts, and plenty of holiday items. Refreshments and food will also be available. Proceeds from the show go to the St. Gerard Women’s Guild, which supports activities of the parish.

wildlife habitat and the fact that they would no longer feel safe in their backyards with a public pathway behind their homes. They also stated they did not want to see any adverse effects on the creek, which had been the subject of a $43-million dollar project several years ago. Kolhoff explained that his department is beginning a study of the impact of the proposed bridge and can decide whether to allow the permit, allow an amended permit or deny it. DNRE deals with only with certain environmental issues like ﬂoodplain management, however, and cannot take other issues like safety into consideration. He also explained an appeals process that can be followed by those unhappy with whatever the ﬁnal DNRE decision turns out to be. No one disputed the fact that Delta Township owns an 80-foot wide east-west swath of property between the Shenandoah subdivision and the Brookside condo development. “It’s not an easement,” said township engineer Dennis Williams. “It’s a matter of

ownership.” Although a road there is still a possibility, the pathway was put into the township’s non-motorized transportation plan in 2005. Hearings were held before the plan was approved by the board and the plan is up for review in 2011. Williams said the cost of the total project will be $250,000, $128,000 from a federal grant. The rest of the money has already been provided for in the township’s budget. Kolhoff emphasized that his department is just starting its analysis of the bridge proposal and that residents have 10 more days to comment in writing on it. Submit comments to: Department of Natural Resources and Environment, Water Resources Division, Lansing District Ofﬁce, Fourth Floor North, P.O. Box 30242, Lansing, MI 48909. The current status of the permit application is always available at http:// www.deq.state.mi.us/ciwpis. Kolhoff also advised taking other than environmental concerns to the township board and several residents said they would like to see a public hearing scheduled.

Mary Jo White

Tom Kolhoff of the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and Environment ﬁelds questions from Delta residents after a hearing Nov. 3 on whether the township should be allowed to construct a bridge over Carrier Creek. The township has applied for a permit from MDRE as part of its plan to extend its public pathway, the East-West Connector, from Creyts Road to Canal Road.

Letters to the editor My life is better for having known Ken Clark

Who was Ken Clark! He was an individual that I had the opportunity to meet at Grand Ledge High school while letting students in that arrive late for various reasons. Ken was a special person that worked in ISS (in-school suspension) at the high school. He seemed to know every student in the school, and I am quite sure that they didn’t all come to his room to visit him to be disciplined. It seemed that every time he met a student in the hall that he had words of encouragement for them. Ken was a person that had a heart of gold and a love of life to go with it. When people told him he was dying of cancer, his statement was “no I’m living with it.” I still remember the get together at Sophie’s with Ofﬁcer Anderson at the end of last year. One of the ladies asked Ken if he would be back to help next year. He said ‘yes if I am still alive.’ I am so thankful I offered to help out at the high school after Ofﬁcer Anderson placed an arti-

cle in the paper requesting volunteers. I would never have had the opportunity to meet Ken and visit with him had I not done so. I will miss visiting with Ken and know the Grand Ledge school system is poorer because of his passing. Dale Westrick Grand Ledge Note: Ken Clark, a parapro for Grand Ledge Schools, died Oct. 29, 2010 at the age of 70.

Recycling will go smoothly if rules followed

I have noticed lately that our recycle site in Grand Ledge is being used extensively and that is good. However, there are a few glitches that should be addressed. People are leaving their paper and plastic bags in the trash barrels. Please note that all plastic grocery bags can be recycled at Meijer if they are clean and dry. Paper grocery bags can be put in with the recycled newspapers Styrofoam items must be recycled on Wednesday 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. or Saturday to 4 p.m. when there is an attendant on duty. If Styrofoam gets wet, it is no

good and must go in the trash. Last week someone left their Styrofoam and the wind blew it all over the site; thus making their recycling efforts worthless. Everyone can help keep the recycle site clean and operating smoothly by following the rules. Thank you. Reva Swanson Grand Ledge

Take time for a bit of history

It is generous for those interested in honoring the Vietnam Vets with a monument per your story. I would like to add a little insight into other wars. During WWII the highest casualty rates were the Merchant Marines. Less than one half survived to see the end of the war. During that time Ronald Hazen was on a tanker carrying airplane fuel. Due to the volatility they had no escorts. Then after the end of that war, along came the Korean War. He was drafted because the Merchant Marines were not considered veterans. After years, the Armed Forces gave then veterans status.

He was an ofﬁcer in the Merchant Marines before he was 18 years old. Korean War is known as the “forgotten war.” He was a radio operator on the tankers and was also a radio operator in Korea. I am also a veteran of the Korean War. Just a bit of history. June Ann Hazen Grand Ledge

Who’s the genius behind all the pharmacies?

I heard today that all of the business shuffle on the southwest corner of M-100 and Saginaw Highway is because a Walgreens is scheduled to be built there. What city planning genius OK’d this ridicules plan? Can it be true that we will soon have three pharmacies within 200 yards of each other and five in Grand Ledge? I wonder which building will go vacant first? Could the city officials put any more competitive pressure on Felpausch? We should take bets on which building will close first, Rite Aid, Felpausch, one of the other two pharmacies or the upstart Walgreens.

I’ve got $5 on Felpausch, Meijer will survive no matter what. Not so much a small town feel anymore. Can you help me ﬁnd the person responsible for approving this so called progress? I would appreciate it. Philip H. Shaftner Lansing

Election ends in 20-20 tie

Dear Gov.-elect Snyder; Come on over, let’s talk Dear Governor-elect Snyder, Congratulations on your election night victory! I look forward to working with you. I know that you have many priorities. It appears that education is one of them. I appreciate that, for, you see, I am the Superintendent of the Grand Ledge Public Schools. Education is one of my priorities as well. In your 10-point plan, point number eight states that we need to reform Michigan’s educational system. Sometimes words like that from a politician rankle people like me who spend their lives trying to ensure that every student receives a quality education. But I will take you at your word when you say, “schools, teachers, and parents must renew their commitment to ensuring that each child is given the best possible preparation and education for life.” I agree with you! We have three district

goals. The ﬁrst one states that every child should make at least a year’s growth in a year’s time. If we can do that then every child who graduates from our high school will be ready for that next step in his or her life. Our second goal calls for teachers and administrators to collaborate to Super’s ﬁnd, use, and corner monitor effective inSteve structional Matthews strategies. When we use effective instructional strategies, our students will learn, which will increase the likelihood that each child will make at least a year’s growth in a year’s time.Our third goal calls for every person in the district to work

Military news Army Pfc. Sean C. Justince

Army Pfc. Sean C. Justice graduated from the Field Artillery Automated Tactical Data Systems Specialist Advanced Individual Training course at Fort Sill, Lawton, Okla. As members of the Army’s field artillery team, the course is designed to train soldiers as specialists to operate the advanced field artillery tactical data systems for both cannon and multiple launch rocket systems. The specialists play a critical role in the safe, accurate, and lethal delivery of the field artillery’s various fire support systems used to support infantry and tank units in combat. Skills training included methods of computing target locations using computers or manual calculations, ammunition handling techniques, and operating and performing maintenance on related equipment, vehicles, generators, and artillery tactical and data systems. He is the son of Bobby Justice of Glen Burnie, Md., and Jane McAllister of Grand Ledge.

Army Pvt. Ellisif E. Cline

Army Pvt. Ellisif E. Cline has graduated from Basic Combat Training at Fort Sill, Lawton, Okla., as an Honor Graduate and received a Letter of Commendation. The soldier’s academic and military accomplishments were a direct result of energetic application of sound judgment and newly acquired technical knowledge. The soldier’s attention to detail, appearance, cooperative spirit, military bearing, and military courtesy were commendable and exemplary, and contributed to the Battery Cadre of the 19th Field Artillery Regiment’s successful mission accomplishments. During the nine weeks of Basic Combat Training, the soldier studied the Army mission and received instruction and training exercises in drill and ceremonies, Army history, core values and traditions, military courtesy, military justice, physical ﬁtness, ﬁrst aid, ri-

fle marksmanship, weapons use, map reading and land navigation, foot marches, armed and unarmed combat, and field maneuvers and tactics. In addition, she was promoted to private first class. Cline, a preventive medicine specialist, is the daughter of Gregory and Kelly Cline of Grand Ledge. The private is a 2010 graduate of Grand Ledge High School.

together to create a high performing organization. Teachers, bus drivers, secretaries, food service workers, custodians, teacher aides, administrators, and Superintendents need to focus of creating an organization that helps every student learn. I believe you when you say that you want every student in Michigan to receive a high quality education. But then in your Policy Central, where you give more detail on your policies, you cherry-pick data to paint a picture that every school district in Michigan is sub par. For example, you show the ACT scores for four states. You compare Michigan to Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Ohio. You show that our ACT scores are lower than those four states. But you do not note that Michigan tests 100 percent of its high school graduates, while Minnesota only tests 70 percent, Wisconsin only tests 69 percent, and Ohio only tests 66 percent. When compared to those four states Michigan’s composite ACT score for graduating seniors is lower – anywhere from one to three points lower. Yet you could have compared us to Colorado, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Wyoming. These four states test 100 percent of their graduating seniors. When compared to those ﬁve states Michigan’s composite ACT score is higher than two and lower than three. But there is only a one-point range either way. You also note that Michigan’s av-

Army Reserve Pfc. Anthony J. Talbot

Army Reserve Pfc. Anthony J. Talbot has graduated from basic combat training at Fort Jackson, Columbia, SC. During the nine weeks of training, the soldier studied the Army mission, history, tradition and core values, physical fitness, and received instruction and practice in basic combat skills, military weapons, chemical warfare and bayonet training, drill and ceremony, marching, rifle marksmanship, armed and unarmed combat, map reading, field tactics, military courtesy, military justice system, basic first aid, foot marches, and field training exercises. Talbot graduated in 2010 from Grand Ledge High School. He is the son of Randy and Dawn Talbot of Grand Ledge.

erage salary for instructional staff ranks 4th in the United States. While that is true when you look at all the districts in Michigan, it is not true when you look at specific districts. For example, the average teacher salary in the Grand Ledge Public Schools is right at the national average. To suggest that every teacher in Michigan is overpaid is not appropriate or helpful. You state that we should reduce overhead costs and become more efficient. Yet every employee in our district who has health insurance pays between 18 and 31 percent of the premium. In our district, which covers 125 square miles we spend almost $2 million a year on school transportation. Other districts in our area that are significantly smaller have no transportation costs. Sweeping statements about efficiencies, when I believe that we have done a lot to control costs, does not create a spirit of cooperation and collaboration. You are my Governor-elect. I want you to be successful. I believe you when you say that you want Michigan’s schools to be successful. I would like to invite you to my school district to discuss together to create a Michigan school system that educates every student well.

Vets: Delta, Grand Ledge men share their memories Continued from page 1

lieved that the Axis powers would win the war. In fact, one of the highlights of his life was his capture by American soldiers he remembers as “fantastic.” “The Americans could have killed us; (instead) they shot over us,” Floeter said. He remembers one incident in which his glasses were hanging askew and, with his hands in the air in front of Allied soldiers, he couldn’t grab them. “If I put my hands down, I’d be gone,” he said. “If I

didn’t put my hands down, my glasses would be gone.” He vividly remembers an American GI carefully placing his glasses back on this nose. Asked about nightmares or other signs of post traumatic stress disorder, none of the veterans said they suffered in that way. The overpowering memories remain, however, along with smaller tales about censored mail, inedible food and missed paydays - even now, long after these men have married, raised families and pursued successful civilian careers.

The memories are their legacy, and in the telling that marks each Veterans’ Day, our legacy as well.

Drafted into the German army as a young man, Ernst Floeter, now a resident of Grand Ledge, never believed that the Axis powers would win the war. In fact, one of the highlights of his life was his capture by American soldiers he remembers as “fantastic.”

So far I have only briefly mentioned one of the more prominent families of early Grand Ledge. Tales of the Kent Family would fill many columns, but for now I will give a brief overview. The Kents were among the first settlers of Oneida township. Peter M. Kent settled here in 1836. He purchased 560 acres at the corner of Strange and Oneida Roads. The following year his father Isaac Kind and his siblings arrived from New York to join him. Isaac had owned a farm of 80 acres in New York, and the proceeds from the sale of this property were used to purchase the land in Oneida township. Isaac Kind was the father of five children: Peggy, who married Peter Kiser: Lydia, who married a man named Houser; Lucy, who married Michael Krupp; Peter M. Kent, who married Eliza Hixson; and Francis (Frank) M. Kent, who married Harriet Lovell. Peter was a millwright and carpenter by trade.

able points for the team by placing inside the Top 16 finishers at the meet. In the 100 dreestyle Taylor Stensen returned to swim her best time ever while placing 7th in 59.17. Meanwhile sophomore Ashley Lopez was the consolation finals champion swimming to a time of 1:01.31.

GRAND LEDGE - On Thursday, Nov. 4, in Class A District Semi-Final Action, the Grand Ledge Comet Varsity Volleyball team took on the Spartans of Battle Creek Lakeview. Grand Ledge jumped out to an early 9-4 lead with strong serving by Tory Schiller. Lakeview managed to stay close and tied the game at 12-12. Maddie Johnston held her serve and gave the Comets an 18-13 lead. Defensive plays by Krysta Kramer, Tory Schiller and Kara Stevensen kept Battle Creek’s offense at bay. A set by Maddie Johnson to Krysta Kramer for the kill, ended the game with a 25-21 GL win. The second game was very tightly contested. With the score tied at 9-9, a kill by Abby Hedden put the Comets ahead by 1. Battle Creek fought back and outscored the Comets 7 to 4 and took a 14-16 lead. Kills by Ola Hendler and Krysta Kramer, along with a service ace by Tory Schiller, put Grand Ledge in front 17-16. Every point after that was hard fought and the game was tied ﬁve different times in the last few minutes. With Grand Ledge ahead at 24-22, a tip by Abby Hedden into BCL’s mid-court gave the Comets a 25-22 victory. In game three, Grand Ledge jumped out to a 4-1 lead, but the Spartans were not ready to end their season and fought back to take the lead 6-5. The game was tied four times before the Comets took control. With the score at 8-8, Maddie Johnston held her serve and brought GL to 14-8 advantage. A set by Kelly Gwardzinski to

Grand Ledge’s No. 10 Kelly Gwardzinski sets the ball for a kill. Krysta Kramer for the kill made the score 21-13. Kara Stevensen held the next 3 serves for a 24-13 lead. Grand Ledge was able to cruise to a 25-14 victory. The Comets served and passed the ball exceptionally well, allowing Grand Ledge’s offensive attack to shine. Amanda Cockroft and Abby Hedden each went 5-0 in serves. Maddie Johnston had 24 assists and 1 ace; while Krysta Kramer scored 11 digs and 9 kills. Caroline Maurer went 7-0 in serves and Tory Schiller had 15 kills, 9 digs and 2 aces.

Grand Ledge won the Class A District semi-final match 3-0 and advances to the finals against the host Holt Rams. In Saturday’s Class A District finals, the Comets took on the host Rams to earn the right to advance to regional competition. The Comets knew they had a tough task in attempting to beat Holt for the third time this season. The Comets won the first meeting between these teams at home in September with a score of 3-2. In October, the Comets squared off against the Ram’s in Holt for the final night of league play.

Grand Ledge crushed Holt’s dream of a senior night victory by sweeping the match 3 games to none. In the District Final, the Comets won games 1 and 4, and the Rams took games 2 and 3. In the fifth and final game of the match, the Holt Rams went on a strong offensive streak and defeated the Comets to win the district title. Grand Ledge ended their season in first place of the CAAC Blue with an 11-1 record (20-14 in overall play). –– Team submitted

Pinckney came in third with 146 points and Milford took fourth with 155. Saline completed the top five teams with 180 points.

To become an all state runner one must finish in the top half of

the race, which he did and also have a grade point average of 3.5 or above. “Chase became our seventh academic all-state athlete in the past ﬁve years,” said Spalsbury. “His combination of commitment to his studies and his sport make him stand out as the best of the best in the state.” “Chase certainly kept the tradition of excellence in Grand Ledge cross country alive. I enjoyed my unexpected extra year as head coach coaching he and his teammates,” added Spalsbury.

Magness runs career best in state ﬁnals

By ARV PETTIT

coachphoto@yahoo.com

GRAND LEDGE - Each week Grand Ledge girls cross country coach Fred Hutchinson sends a message to his girls after their week of competition is completed. Last week was no exception. Hutchinson and his girls traveled to the Michigan International Magness Speedway for their ﬁnal race of the 2010 season. They along with 26 other teams competed in the MSHAA cross country ﬁnals. In the end Hutchinson’s

team didn’t do as well as they would have liked but his team also finished another outstanding season. And, senior Jaclyn Magness was brilliant. Magness ran the final race of her four year career that saw run well as a freshman and run like a superstar that she has become in her senior year. On Saturday, Nov. 6, Magness finished 55th out of the field of Michigan’s finest runners. She crossed the finish line in just over 19 minutes. 19:01 to be exact. The best time of her running career. And, it couldn’t have come at a better time. “There were 246 of the best runners in the state at the meet,” said Hutchinson. “And 27 of the best cross country teams in the state.

Jaclyn closed out a brilliant career with the best race she has ever ran as a cross country runner. What a perfect way for her to end things in cross. Great runner, great leader, and a great great young lady. We’re really going to miss her next year,” he said. As a team the Comets ﬁnished 25th out of the ﬁeld. A little bit of a disappointment but on the other hand a great accomplishment. “I’m really proud of the kids and how we’ve battled all year. These kids are truly wonderful and I’m very fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with them,” added Hutchinson. Sophomore Allison Dible continued to display her talents and show that she is one of the leading runners

21:25. “Colleen really had a solid race. She ran a great second fastest time ever in her career. She has really improved a great deal this year,” Hutchinson added. Jordan Hooks, another junior, ran sixth and 239th at 22:13 and junior Amanda Pitchford ran seventh and 242nd at 22:30. “Jordan and Amanda did a great job of competing. They will both be leaders for us next year and will be an important part of our success,” Hutchinson assured. In the end Grand Haven won the team title with a score of 135. Traverse City Central was second with 154 and Rockford third at 167. Northville scored 169 and placed fourth and Pinckney completed the top ﬁve with

a score of 174. Grand Ledge scored 624. “This was the fasterst overall state meet since I’ve been coaching. I think our kids will learn a lot from this experience and next year they’ll be ready to compete again with the best runners in the state,” assured Hutchinson. In the end Hutchinson’s final note to his girls was as follows. “Be proud of yourselves but know that you can do better and never be satisfied with good enough. Strive to be great! Lets commit ourselves to returning to the state finals next year and making a run at the top 10.” With his young team that possibility remains a very strong and achieveable goal. Great year ladies and great finish Jaclyn.

Cross country program has bright future By ARV PETTIT

GRAND LEDGE - If you’ve looked you’ve already seen them running. Just a week after the 2010 season ended you can see the runners on the streets. Our future stars. Freshmen, sophomores and juniors. They’re all heading in the right direction and towards their goals for the 2011 season. Two weeks ago the kids were competing in their final races of the year; many names unrecognizable in this years lineup. But their day is up and coming. And, their 2010 times show that they’ll take over where this year’s seniors left off. At the boys reserve race at East Lansing on October 14 the fellas did a great job. Sophomore Kyle Strange ran an 18:18 and finished 17th overall out of 103 finishers. “He had a big personal record and earned his way to a spot at the league meet,” said coach Kim Spalsbury. Junior Jack Sellers ran a lifetime personal record with a time of 18:48. “He’s really a hard working young man,” praised Spalsbury. He was 25th overall. Another sophomore, Stephen Gute ran a 19:31 and finished 41st overall. “Stephen broke his personal best record by over 20 seconds,” added Spalsbury.

Alec Lounds ran a 22:10 and finished 41st overall. “A good debut after suffering injuries which kept him out most of the season,” praised Spalsbury. On October 27 the Coemts ran at the James Clyde (Waverly) Reserve Invitational. Strange ran an 18:53. “He showed confidence that will make him a full time varsity runner next year,” praised Spalsbury. He was fourth overall and first for the Comets. Sophomore Brian Jones ran a 19:38.3 and finished second for the Comets and 14th overall. “He also ran a great race after missing part of the season with an illness,” stated Spalsbury. Sellers finished third and 18th overall out of a field of 49 finishers. He clocked in at 19:53. Kaspar ran fourth and 25th overall at 20:28.4.

Medal winners

“I was really happy for him. He grabbed a medal to take home with him,” said Spalsbury. The top 35 runners received medals. Gute ran 20:28.7 and finished 26th and McCord ran a 20:33.0 and finished 27th overall. “They’ve both made great improvements since last year,” said Spalsbury. Priest ran 20:36 and finished 30th and Konkoly ran a 20:39. “Both of them earned medals and worked very hard to earn them,” praised Spalsbury. “They both have ‘A great accomplishment’ excellent attitudes.” Lounds ran a 21:35 and was 37th. “He has great Senior foreign exchange student Kaspar Filipp ran a 20:22.7.

We’re really looking forward to next year and for her to be a varsity contributor,” added Hutchinson.

Sophomore Brittany Valo ran fifth and 22nd overall at 23:50.

Freshman Emily Konen came in eighth and 43rd overall at 25:49 and freshman Chelsea Moshkosky came in ninth and 53rd overall. “All three of the girls gave a great effort. Michelle ran her last cross race for Grand Ledge. She has been a wonderful teammate, leader and person. We’ll miss her next year. I’m really glad she finished out her career on such a great note,” added Hutchinson. “We had a great reserve season and are looking towards a great year next year,” added Hutchinson.

Comets’ Stoimenoff honored in tennis

By SEAN MERRIMAN

smerriman@lsj.com

“For as talented as he is, he’s the farthest thing you could ever imagine from a prima donna,” Barrett said. “He’s very laid back, not overly aggressive and just fits in with his teammates - just one of the guys.” But Stoimenoff does have a competitive side as well, which he showed at a young age. He first picked up a racket when he was 4 years old, winning the first competitive match he ever played at 8. “It’s just something I will never forget,” Stoimneoff said. “I remember that I loved the feeling of winning so much that I wanted to keep playing the game forever.” Stoimenoff has not made a college choice yet, but he does plan to play tennis at the next level. For now, his focus will be on continuing to improve for his senior season. He wants to beat Forman, who has knocked him out of the Division 1 state meet the past two seasons. “He’ll be there, ... and I have a feeling I will see him again,” he said after pausing for a few seconds. “This time, I’ll be ready for it.”

GRAND LEDGE - By most people’s standards, 2009 was widely successful for Trevor Stoimenoff. As a sophomore, Stoimenoff won the CAAC Blue league championship at No. 1 singles and was the only area player to qualify for the Division 1 state tournament. Yet despite that success, Stoimenoff was not satisﬁed with his play and still felt he had room for improvement. “My serve wasn’t what it needed to be, and my net game had to improve,” he said. “I knew I could be better.” Stomineoff worked with Court One tennis professional Darren Gronski, who focused on making him into an overall complete tennis player. And the results showed, as Stoimenoff completed one of the most memorable seasons in Grand Ledge High history on his way to being named the State Journal player of the year. The Comets junior ﬁnished this fall with 24-3 record at No.1 singles, including CAAC Blue tournament and Divi-

sion 1 regional titles. He advanced to the state semiﬁnals, where he lost to eventual state champ Brett Forman of Troy. “He began to play with a lot of conﬁdence this year and really began believing in himself and his abilities,” Grand Ledge coach Mark Barrett said of Stoimenoff. “He expected to do well in every match he played in, ... and he did.” Stoimenoff’s most impressive win came when he defeated two-time defending State Journal player of the year Harry Jadun of East Lansing in straight sets during the CAAC Blue league tournament. “He beat me every single time we had played in high school up to that point, so that one was special,” Stoimenoff said. “It’s one thing to beat him in a USTA match. But when I was able to do that in a high school match, with my team cheering for me and encouraging me, that was amazing.” While some might be nervous about playing in so many highly competitive matches, Stoimenoff keeps a calm and collective mindset - on and off the court.

‘In the Mood’ coming to Charlotte from up-tempo big band rhythms to mellow intimate ballads, and set a mood that inspired a future ﬁlled with hope, promise and prosperity. This was a time like no other in our nation’s history, a time when music moved the Nation’s spirit and helped win a war. Come experience the swing, rhythm, jazzy, brassy, sentimental and romantic music of this important time on Nov. 20 at 7:30 p.m. at the Charlotte Performing Arts Center. “In the Mood” began as a celebration of an unusual era in American music, the 1940’s...the swing era. On radio, in theaters and ballrooms, the big bands were drawing record crowds. Vocal groups and soloists sang a repertory of great songs, and for the last time in the nation’s history, the entire country shared a common popular music. This body of song did much

to sustain national morale during World War II, the pivotal event of the 20th century. The National Archives in Washington, DC brought “In the Mood” to their audiences as part of their commemoration of the 50th anniversary of WWII, and the response was extraordinary, with crowds lining up for hours before curtain time. The engagement was twice extended to extra performances. In 1993, the Archives presented a repeat performance, out-of-doors on Constitution Ave. Tickets for this show are $34, and are still available through the Charlotte Performing Arts Center box ofﬁce by calling (517) 541-5690 or online at www.CPACpresents.com.

CHARLOTTE — “In the Mood,” a phenomenon among touring shows after 17 years on the road, is more than a concert. “In the Mood” is a Big Band Theatrical Swing Revue. The show features the music of Glenn Miller, Tommy Dorsey, Artie Shaw, Benny Goodman, Harry James, Erskine Hawkins, The Andrews Sisters, Frank Sinatra, and other greats of the 1940’s. Featuring a company of 19 on stage including the In the Mood Singers and Dancers with the sensational String of Pearls Big Band Orchestra, the show’s music arrangements, costumes and choreography are as authentic as it gets. “In the Mood” takes a retro look at the life and time of America’s greatest generation. This was a generation where everyone listened and danced to the same style of music which ranged

Eleven new Eaton County child advocates sworn in EATON COUNTY - After much hard work and 30 hours of training, 11 new CASA volunteer advocates recently raised their right hands and swore to fulﬁll the duties of the ofﬁce of the Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) for Kids. Eaton County Judge Thomas Byerley swore in the new CASA volunteers to help not only the children but also to bring back valuable information that will help him to make important decisions regarding the children. The newest volunteers bring the total number of Eaton County Advocates to 44 serving 34 children. Currently there are 190 children under the protection of the Eaton County court system who need a CASA volunteer. “You will each have a very different experience with the children that you serve; it probably won’t be easy and there will be days

when you feel like you don’t matter. However, at the end it will be the most rewarding experience you have ever had,” said CASA executive director Alissa Hall. CASA for Kids is a nonproﬁt organization that recruits and trains volunteers to advocate for children who have been removed from their homes due to abuse and neglect. A CASA volunteer’s role is to visit with the children on their case once every 7 to 10 days and provide an independent assessment to the court about all aspects of the child’s life. The CASA volunteer assessment reﬂects the strengths and needs of the child, the child’s family, and caregivers. CASA volunteer recommendations are totally independent of any state agency and are solely based on the child’s best interests. Each CASA volunteer advocate receives approximately 35 hours of training

You deserve a rapid recovery from your hysterectomy. A robotic-assisted hysterectomy offers most women numerous potential benefits over traditional approaches to hysterectomies, particularly with more complex procedures like radical hysterectomy for gynecological cancer. Women undergoing robotic-assisted surgery typically experience: • Significantly less pain and fewer complications • Less blood loss and a decreased risk of infection • Less scarring • A shorter hospital stay (as short as a single day for total hysterectomies) and dramatically-decreased recovery time • A quicker return to normal daily activities Sparrow is mid-Michigan’s leader in robotic-assisted surgery. The experience and expertise of our highlydedicated team has made Sparrow midMichigan’s leader in robotic-assisted surgery with more intensively-trained surgeons than any other hospital in the region.
