Fowlerville Jr. High making Christmas brighter with ‘The Giving Tree’ Fowlerville Community Schools has a long tradition of holding food drives and donating clothing and gifts during the Christmas season as well as other times of the year. ‘The Giving Tree’ has become part of this tradition. The Junior High Student Council and The Family Impact Center have once again joined together to make Christmas brighter for three families. Located in the of¿ce at the Junior High School is a Christmas tree with tags with gift needs labeled on them. Students remove an ornament and bring back the unwrapped gift to the of¿ce. The deadline for the donations is this Friday, December 12. These four si[th graders were among the ¿rst students to participate. They are, from left, kneeling, Lauren Murray and Lydia Luark; and standing, Tyler Bigos and Katelynn Ludlow.

Other efforts going on at the school are a ‘Community Coat Shopping Event’ planned at the high school cafeteria this Thursday, Dec. 11, from 4 to 7 p.m. During this event coats and other winter clothing that were donated by members of the Fowlerville community during a recent collection drive will be given away. Smith Elementary, meanwhile, is holding its annual food drive. Canned and boxed food, paper products, and personal hygiene products are being sought. The drive goes on until Dec. 18 with a special surprise planned for the class that has the largest amount of donated items.

Council names Helfmann president pro tem on split vote

By Steve Horton Longtime trustee Mary Helfmann was named president pro tem of the Fowlerville Village Council at its meeting last Monday. The vote was 4-3.

Cindy Salfate nominated her for the post with support from Everett DeGrush. During the ensuing discussion trustee Jerry Bell voiced his opposition. “While I enjoy working with Mary Helfmann and respect her opinion, I feel there are better choices,â€? Bell said. “This appointment is a serious decision. If anything happens to Mr. Copeland (the Village president) or he’s not available, we need someone in this position who is readily available. That’s difÂżcult to do when you work in Lansing.â€?

In follow-up comments, Bell said that “it is important to be at these meetings in a timely manner and to be prepared.�

Copeland noted that, as he understood the ordinance, the only duty of a president pro tem is to conduct the council meeting in the absence of the president. He then asked

FRPPXQLW\¡V WLUH QHHGV PRELOH IDUP VHUYLFH DQG LQ VKRS IRU \HDUV

Village attorney David Stoker for his opinion. Stoker agreed. “Because you now have a village manager, that’s pretty accurate,� he said. “In the absence of a manager, the president has a larger role in the operations of the village; which has been the case for the past couple of years. With a manager, both the role of the president and a president pro tem is to handle the meetings and sign documents. It is administrative rather than operational.�

In the vote, Copeland, DeGrush, Helfmann, and Salfate supported Helfmann for this position, while Bell, Kenneth Bielous, and Carol Hill opposed the motion.

In a later comment, after the meeting, Helfmann said, “The number one focus of council is to address the needs of our constituents. We have an excellent staff and have the opportunity to be an excellent council if we work together and put the needs of our constituents Âżrst.â€?

Helfmann has served on the Fowlerville council for approximately 16 years. For the past ¿ve years she has been the District Outreach Director in Joe Hune’s legislative of¿ce in Lansing, the ¿nal year when he was a state representative and for the past four years when he has been a state senator. She and her husband Gary Helfmann own A-1 Rent Alls, a rental business with store locations in Howell and Lansing. She is the current president of the American Rental Association of Michigan and the co-president of the Fowlerville 4th of July Committee.

Fowlerville Council turns down Champion Chevrolet’s sign request

By Steve Horton Getting a variance on signs has become dif¿cult for local businesses. At a =oning Board of Appeals meeting last Monday, the Fowlerville Village Council (acting as the =BA board) turned down a reTuest from Champion Chevrolet to allow it to keep two banner signs on the south side of its building as well as a portable message sign next to its West Van Riper Road entrance. The vote was 7-0 against granting this reTuest.

Champion Chevrolet, located at 880 South Grand Avenue, next to the Van Riper Road intersection, had taken out a permit last May to place these two banners on its wall. 8nder the ordinance governing temporary signs, an applicant can renew the permit three times for 30 days each. This time around company of¿cials were advised by the Village of¿ce that they could not renew the permit again and, if they wished to keep the banners in place on a permanent basis, they would need to obtain a zoning variance. The company was also told that a variance was needed to allow the portable message board to remain.

This was the third variance reTuest dealing with business signage that has been turned down by council in the past month. At a =oning Board of Appeals meeting on Nov. 17, trustees turned down a request for a variance of the Village’s sign ordinance from Maria’s School of Dance on a 4-2 vote and from O’Reilly’s Auto Parts on a 7-0 vote.

Maria’s School of Dance sought to place a rectangular 72-squrae foot sign on its overhang on the South Grand Avenue side of its business. The ordinance for businesses located in the downtown zoning district allows a maximum of 40 square feet for a wall sign.

O’Reilly’s Auto Parts, which is in the process of building a new store at 775 South Grand Avenue, an area zoned Of¿ce District, sought three variances: One was to erect a 107 square foot free-standing ground sign where only a 60 square-foot size is permitted, the second was to allow a 169.42 square foot wall sign where a 100 square foot maximum size is permitted, and the third was to allow two signs on the freestanding pole (which is 26 feet tall) instead of the single sign allowed on a pole in this zoning district.

With all three requests, the Village planner, Kaitlin Mallow-Mareon of LSL Planning, the ¿rm hired to review and offer consultation on planning issues, gave a report that recommended denial. In the ¿rst two requests, she stated neither of them met the criteria spelled out in the ordinance for granting a variance.

Mike Kelly, the general manager of Champion Chevrolet’s Fowlerville store, in his comments at the start of the hearing, noted that permits had been taken out and the fees paid for the temporary banners. “We had other banners (up earlier) which we removed,” he said. “The two banners advertise our used vehicles, and the portable sign advertises our oil change special.”

Kelly, noting that he’d been advised by the Village of¿ce, that a variance was required to keep them, said that he did not feel the banners or portable board were eyesores, adding that they would be replaced with new ones when necessary. He noted that the three signs were aimed at attracting business from the traf¿c going to and from the Walmart store on West Van Riper Road. “Even though many people go by, it’s hard to get people to come in,” he said. “We’re trying to attract more business with this advertising and keep our doors open.”

In her report at last Monday’s hearing, Mallow-Mareon said that the ordinance does not allow temporary signs to be left up on a permanent basis. “Based on this criteria, the request should be turned down,” she said. “If you grant this variance, you (council) have no control over the condition of the banners if they deteriorate.”

“If the applicant is interested in having these additional signs, then they can come back with a plan that shows us the dimensions,” she said. “The wall signs, however, need to be composed of a material that allows it to be af¿xed on a permanent basis to the building. The material used for banners does not meet the criteria. The ground sign needs to be cemented into the ground.”

Council trustee Jerry Bell made the motion, seconded by trustee Carol Hill, to deny variances for all three signs.

“These (and the earlier) temporary signs have been up a year-and-half,” he noted, adding that the idea of allowing temporary banners and other signs was for some event like a two-day sale.

Trustee Everett DeGrush said that he agreed with the matter of temporary signs, but wondered how the size of a sign is determined in relationship to the size of the building and whether this should be taken into consideration in the ordinance rather than having just one size for every business regardless of the building’s size.

Bell noted that the goal is “as we move from the freeway, signs get smaller.”

Bell said that “the bow tie (Chevy logo) is synonymous with the auto industry,” adding, “Anyone who sees it knows the kind of business located there just as they do when they

see the golden arches (McDonald’s) across the street. If business is bad, it’s not the fault of signs. A bigger sign or more signs doesn’t create more activity.”

Mallow-Mareon said that the size of a permanent wall sign is based on the frontage of the building, but with a maximum allowed square footage. (Note: There are different zoning districts for businesses, with different stipulations and restrictions.)

Kelly, after the hearing, said that the purpose of having banners is to be able to change the advertising message in an affordable manner.

At previous council meetings, held both before and after the recent election and as a reaction to these variance requests, a sentiment was expressed by a couple of the trustees that the current limitations in the sign ordinance might need to be looked at and possibly relaxed. Trustee Cindy Salfate is the new council representative on the Village Planning Commission, the group which would have to recommend

any changes to the ordinance. She said the next meeting of the commission is scheduled in January. Village manager Kathryn Arledge noted that the sign ordinance was on the commission’s agenda.

Fowlerville Christmas tree began as sapling over 30 years ago

By Cheryl Poch Here is our Christmas question for the week. How many presents would you have if you received all the gifts in “The Twelve Days of Christmas?� Is it 164, 264, 364, or 464?

Speaking of ‘The Twelve Days of Christmas,’ here is an interesting article just on that. Oh, by the way, there is a Christmas mystery series by C.C. Benison and one of the books is called 10 Lords-a-Leaping! So back to the 12 Days of Christmas.

The cost of six geese-a-laying spiked considerably this year, while most of the items in the carol saw little to no increase, according to the 31st annual PNC Wealth Management Christmas Price Index.

A set of gifts in each verse of the song would set you back $27,673 in stores, an increase of less than $300-or one percent from last year. However, shoppers turning to the Internet would see a bigger bump of about 8 percent over last year’s online prices, bringing the set of gifts in each verse to $42,959. Buyers looking to purchase ALL the items each time they were mentioned in the song-our magic numberhave you guessed it yet would be $116,273.00!

Here is a look at the full set of prices from PNC Wealth Management: You may want to do some shopping after I tell you the prices...

Partridge $20-Pear Tree, $188, Two turtledoves, $125, Three French hens, $181 Four calling birds (canaries), $600 Five golden rings, $750 Six geese-a-laying, $360 Seven swans a-swimming, $7,000 Eight maids a-milking, $58, Nine ladies dancing, (per performance), $7553 Ten lords-a-leaping (per performance) $5,348 Eleven pipers piping (per performance) $2,635 and last but not least – Twelve drummers drumming (per performance) $2,855.

Well, that would be something. I am not much on birds or maids a-milking, although I do like drums! I think I will take the FIVE golden rings!

Till next week: The Âżrst published version of “The Twelve Days of Christmasâ€? was in a book of children’s nursery rhymes. What was the year? Was it 1639, 1780, 1815, or 1903?

The magniÂżcent Christmas tree that graces the Main 4 corners started as a sapling over 30 years ago. Bridget Martin, who donated the tree that has set in her front yard at the corner of Frank and North Collins Streets all of those years, noted that her daughter, Amy, was in second grade when they planted it. “She’s 39 years old now and her married name is Noell,â€? Bridget said.

The evergreen was estimated at around 50 feet in height when it was cut late last month. Removing the tree and installing it at the Main Four corners were Jim Mayhew of Mayhew’s Tree Farm, Karl Witt and Steve Clare of KW Corporation, Ray of VanGilder Farm Services, and Dan Whitt of the Fowlerville Village Dept. of Public Works.

A life well-lived...

In 1938 she married her childhood sweetheart. They probably fell in love the ďŹ rst time they met. He proposed on the edge of a frozen pond in the middle of winter. She said yes and for the next 20 years, she took care of his parents, her parents and her children in a small farmhouse.

There was never a Great Depression in her home because of her hard work, her unwavering faith in God and her positive nature.

Remember the love she gave and let us help you honor a life well-lived.

Fowlerville News & Views – Sunday, December 7, 2014 – Page 11

Horton’s Notebook Column by Steve Horton CONSUMER CHOICE ABOUNDED in Downtown Fowlerville back when I was a young lad. My mother, while attending to the duties expected of a farm wife and mother did not hesitate to pack us into the family Chevy (purchased by my father from Cecil Lepard) and head to town. An ice cream treat or glass of Àavored Coke (cherry being the preference) highlighted those visits. Back then (late 50’s and early 60’s), the choices for purchasing either of those delights included Fenton’s Drug Store, Woods Drug Store, Spagnuolo’s, and Tomion’s Dairy.

My older cousin Ann Finlan (now Spillane) and her brother Jon worked after school and on Saturdays as soda jerks at Fenton’s, so we tended to frequent that establishment.

Tomion’s closed its doors when I was still quite young, and I harbor only a few vague memories of this popular hang-out.

Malts were a specialty, large enough that my mother ordered only one and split it amongst us. I believe the main counter horseshoed out in the center of the store with booths or tables located against the walls. My most vivid recollection was the wads of used chewing gum that had been placed underneath the countertop’s surface. Apparently leaving gum there after they sat down and adding to the collection was a custom of the older Fowlerville youth.

Wood’s store only had a few stools at its small counter, and those were usually occupied by regulars as well as customers waiting for Tom to ¿ll their prescription. Spag’s boasted a much longer counter that set the length of the store’s east side.

George and Ellen, of course, produced their own candies, and these treats, plus an assortment of nuts, ¿lled the display cases on the west wall. Spag’s also had some miniature jute boxes, spaced at intervals on the countertop. You could put in a dime and play a favorite tune while sipping on a glass of pop or devouring a chocolate sundae.

When I was in fourth grade, I spent a Friday night in town at my classmate, Mel Lewis’s place. That Saturday we walked to Spag’s. I had been captivated by a new hit single “Good-by Cruel World” by James Darren. Mel and I must have been Àush with dimes; we played the song repeatedly.

At ¿rst George muttered about this musical barrage and then, in exasperation, he shut off the jute box. He had heard all the “Cruel World” he cared to for one day.

Years later, when he and Ellen were in their 80’s and had been retired for several years, they decided to open a small candy store a few doors to the east (now Sweet Sensations).

Just before the various holidays, Ellen would phone and ask me to stop by to pick up their ad copy. Invariably, after listing all of the different candies available for purchase and telling me to make up the ad however I thought best, she’d give me a sample. The world may indeed be cruel at times, but it never was when you were enjoying one of George and Ellen’s confections. *** AMONG THE CHRISTMAS GIFTS MY GRANDMOTHER, Ilah Mae Horton, gave us (her grandchildren) when we were youngsters was a pair of pencils with her name engraved on them. Each year she gave these pencils to her fourth-grade students as a gift, so we were bene¿ciaries of this tradition. Unfortunately, I never saved one as a keepsake, nostalgia not yet being part of my vocabulary or mental contemplation.

I’m not sure if the invention of the pencil, with an eraser, ranks up there with domesticated ¿re, the wheel, and the printing press as innovations and adaptations that revolutionized mankind’s existence or otherwise propelled us forward on the road to civilization, but it ought to rank high on any list. However, while paying tribute to this ingenious combination of wood and graphite, I confess that I rarely use one nowadays. The ink pen has become my tool of choice for writing and doing mathematical calculations. If I make a mistake or wish to re-do a sentence or tabulation, I simply draw a line through the offending words or numbers and start over.

I do so because any ¿nished product, intended for a viewing by others, is subsequently typed on the computer and then printed. Oftentimes, like many folks, I bypass the pen and black page and go straight to the word-document icon. With its amenities of delete and insert, cut and paste, replacing an older version with the revised one, and preserving the ¿nished product in the memory ¿le, the document can be edited, polished, and updated to near perfection.

While the pencil still sees much use among young students and is employed by artists for drawing, I wonder how popular it is with higher schoolers, those in college, and the general adult population. Perhaps I’m an exception, and the pencil still reigns supreme in most households, shirt pockets, purses, and student knapsacks.

Recently, I went to a second-grade classroom at Smith Elementary to take a photo. As I waited for the teacher to write down the names of those in the picture (using an ink pen by the way), I noticed a boy reading an Arthur book. “I used to read Arthur to my son,” I told him, adding that my son is now 26. The young fellow smiled indulgently at my reminiscence,

no doubt unable to visualize how great a distance (and also how short of one) 26 years is. “He’s ¿nishing law school,” I could have said, but didn’t. That period of time has Àown by, too.

The story books I learned to read from, as did others in my generation, included Dick, Jane and their pets Spot and Puff. These were good, solid characters, still I suspect that their adventures—designed to instill in us a desire to master the written word—paled in comparison to Arthur and today’s other storybook stars. *** I SAW A HEADLINE announcing that the lack of sleep may be linked to Alzheimer’s. Oh great, one more worry to keep me awake at night. *** I RECENTLY RECEIVED several old copies of Look, a weekly magazine that went defunct many years ago.

Old-timers will recall that this periodical along with Life & Saturday Evening Post offered a combination of feature

Area Church Listings

articles on current events, social issues, and cultural trends as well as celebrity pro¿les, assorted photo essays, short-story ¿ction, and humorous cartoons. Seeing a copy again after so many years, I was struck by how lengthy the articles were and how small the type was.

Apparently 50 years ago the general American reader had a more disciplined attention span and better eyesight. As a reporter/writer, I still tend to compose long-winded news reports and overly detailed columns—much wordier than the norm in today’s newspaper trade. I realize the longer an article is (at ¿rst glance), the less likely a reader is to delve into it.

I realize this because it’s true of my own news consumption.

While I’m unlikely to change my writing habits despite this awareness, reporters (now and in the future) will need to continuously condense more and more impact into smaller and smaller news holes. Less is more. Of course that’s always been a good rule to follow. Hemingway, who championed this approach to the craft, said that the best short story he read had only six words: “Baby shoes for sale. Never used.”

Letter to the Editor:

We lost another beautiful young life to drugs here recently. I was heartsick when I heard the news.

I have heard that there are many area families dealing with drug problems. Young people must think they are “smarter” than everyone else and that they can “handle it”.

Well guess what? You are not smarter, and you can’t handle it. Stay away from your “friends” who are involved in this destructive lifestyle. They will just drag you back in. We don’t want anymore young lives cut short.

Each year The Salvation Army joins with the U.S. Marine Corps Reserves in the latter group’s “Toys for Tots” campaign. The goal of this effort is to provide Christmas presents to area youngsters who’d otherwise find slim pickings underneath their holiday tree. A number of volunteers, including Dave Loar, help organize this annual event in Livingston County. Loar pointed out that preparations begin in September.

“In a few days this room (now empty) will be filled with hundreds of donated toys,” he said. “We separate them into different areas, based on age.

This year, on Dec. 12-13, parents will come here and select a minimum of ten toys for each of their children. They’ll also receive a box of food, including a frozen turkey.”

“Sonny Erdman got me involved in this back in 1983,” Loar said. Lloyd Erdman, who passed away several years ago, was a longtime District Court magistrate and involved in numerous community groups. Dave, who is a deputy with the Livingston County Sheriff Dept., has followed his mentor’s example. In addition to helping the Army, Dave is active in Big Brothers Big Sisters, the Make A Wish Foundation, and does the polar plunge for the Special Olympics. “Altogether I help nine different non-profit organizations in one way or the other,” he said. “I absolutely enjoy doing this. It is an involvement my family helps with and supports, especially my wife Jodi. I also have a lot of friends who help out.”

Dave graduated from Pinckney High in 1964 and then drove truck for the next four years. “In 1968, at age 21, I was elected as a constable for Putnam Township and also went to work part-time for the Pinckney Police Department,” he said. “In 1971 I was hired as a sheriff deputy. I retired for a short time in 1996, went to work for the Fowlerville Police Department for the next four years, and then rejoined the sheriff department.”

By Nina Sebastian Fowlerville High School would like to congratulate Ben Judd on being student of the week! Ben is a senior here at Fowlerville High School. During the school day, his classes consist of Robotics, College Prep English, News Broadcasting, AP Physics, and AP Calculus. Ben’s favorite class this year is Robotics because it is interesting and challenging. Along with Robotics being his favorite class, his Robotics instructor is also his favorite teacher because he is tough and pushes his students.

After high school, Ben plans on attending college and pursuing a career in mechanical engineering. When he graduates, one thing Ben will miss most is being able to see his friends every day. One tip that Ben has for underclassmen is, “Be involved, in everything!” His favorite part about Fowlerville High is how much school spirit the students have with all the school events. One thing he would like to change about Fowlerville High is to have the parking lot set up differently.

Many of Ben’s teachers nominated him for this recognition.

Mrs. Tomassi commented, “Ben has gone above and beyond in News Broadcasting. He has become a second teacher in the class by helping his peers learn how to produce Gladiator TV. He stays after class and comes back after class to help produce the shows. He is a dedicated, hardworking student.”

Mrs. Hardenbrook stated, “Ben works hard In College Prep English. He participates with great insight and works well with his peers.”

After school, Ben spends his time playing sports, working out, and hunting. In the fall, Ben participates in football and is on the varsity team, playing linebacker. Along with football, he also plays on the varsity basketball team. Outside of school, Ben enjoys going up north with his family. He has two awesome parents, Ted and JoAnne Judd and two

Senior Spotlight--Nick McDonnell

By Haylee Terrasi-Klempner Nick McDonnell is the son of Terry and Amy McDonnell.

He has attended Webberville since his sophomore year in high school. Even though McDonnell hasn’t attended Webberville for long he has made a very big difference in the lives around him.

“Nick is very honest,” says fellow senior Chelsey Lorenz.

“He tells you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear.”

McDonnell is a proud supporter of his fellow Spartans. He has participated in football, wrestling, and baseball. However, it was dif¿cult for him to play for long periods of time due to injuries. But if McDonnell wasn’t on the ¿eld he was on the sidelines cheering his teammate on.

“Nick made a great leader this season,” fellow senior Malik Turner stated. “He helped keep the freshman in line.

McDonnell didn’t only bring his high spirits to the ¿eld but the classroom as well. He enjoyed his digital art and strength classes.

“Nick has a lot of great and challenging ideas,” said art teacher Dean Wilson. “I will miss him, like I miss all of my students. But Nick has always been our fun loving ginger.”

His favorite teacher is Mr. Dean Wilson because he has taught him many morals.

“Mr. Wilson is the one who taught me ‘good enough isn’t good enough’” McDonnell said. “He always pushes me to do better.”

McDonnell has learned a lot from his experiences in high school, not only from his teachers but his fellow classmates.

“The one thing I will always remember is that if I keep trying and don’t give up then I can succeed,” said McDonnell. “So my advice to the underclassmen is to keep up in your classes

Submitted by Betty Dodge The Webberville Woman’s Advance club met Nov. 18 at Brody Hall on the Michigan State University campus for lunch and later visited the MSU Planetarium.

We shared a day out with family and friends. In attendance were Sallie Brodie, Rosemary and Roger Cahaney, Betty and Dean Dodge, Jean and Cliff Johnson, Marge Lawson, Jill and Fred Moon, Kathy and Larry Ward and friend, Nancy and Jerrel Webb, and Janice and Bill Wheeler. It was a bitterly cold day, but warm and toasty once inside. Members brought unused Christmas cards to be used for the Webberville journalism class. The students send these cards to residents in area medical facilities. We also donated some money for the postage to help in sending them out. In the spirit of the season, we are buying four books for the Webberville Library.

These pictures books are THE DOT by Peter Reynolds, ISH

by Peter Reynolds, THE LITTLE WOOD DUCK by Brian Wildsmith, and CHAPTER BOOK; THE CONTRACT by Jerek Jeter.

We were informed that the Library is holding its Holiday Open House on Tuesday, Dec. 9, from 6:30 to 8 p.m. There will be live reindeer and refreshments will be served. Many members of the club remain active in library projects and we also will be donating scarves, hats, and mittens for the Mitten Tree. Other donations have gone to the food bank, the Ronald McDonald House, and Marsh Pointe.

At the Abrams Planetarium we enjoyed an hour-long program called ‘Season of Light.” This show running until Dec. 21 on Friday and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 4 p.m. A special family show, entitled “George and Oatmeal Save Santa” is offered on Sundays at 2:30 p.m. You may call 517-355-4672 for fees and parking information. In the show we saw, it was noted that many of the familiar customs that we observe at this time of year have astronomical connections.

Also, the idea of the Christmas Star is brieÀy explained.

The club will meet on Dec. 15 at the home of Lynn Reed for a potluck lunch, followed by a program by Nancy Webb on “What I have learned from the Golden Books.”

Fowlerville High holds successful College Application Week Fowlerville High School had a successful College Application Week November 3 through November 7. Ninety percent of FHS Seniors submitted an application to at least one college throughout this week. Students who did not apply to college during College Application Week spent time researching programs they are interested in pursuing once they graduate; including the military and work force.

Seniors who had previously applied to college used this opportunity to apply for available scholarships. Since the beginning of the school year, 460 applications have been submitted to colleges throughout the United States by our seniors! We are very proud of the work they have accomplished and anticipate great success for their futures!

Since College Application Week was a school-wide event, the freshmen, sophomores and juniors created Parchment (electronic transcript request program) and College Access Portal accounts. These accounts will aid in the planning process for their future. Various college ¿ght songs were played during announcements, the cafeteria played ¿ght songs during lunches and Mrs. Hesch’s Art I class held a poster contest. Here are the winners of the contest!

Jacob Thomson gave the team a spark defensively and he and Caleb Medina pulled down a few key rebounds for the Glads.

The A team played one of their best games of the season against Okemos, but fell short. Leading the scoring attack was Geoffrey Knaggs with 20 points, while Mitchell Stobierski also contributed 9 for the Glads. Joey Quigley chipped in 3 points, while Sam Browne and Nick Reason chipped in 2 a piece while Josh DuFore added 1 for the team. Geoffrey Knaggs and Joey Quigley dominated the defensive boards for the Gladiators.
