Polar Express pulls in at Neff School health clinic considered By MARY JO WHITE mjwhite@lsj.com

By ALAN MILLER alanmiller@lsj.com

GRAND LEDGE — If the necessary space can be found, the Grand Ledge school district and the Barry-Eaton District Health Department will seek state funding to open a health clinic in Grand Ledge High School. At their meeting on Monday, Dec. 13, the school board voted to support the health department’s planned application for funding to establish a school-based health center, and to provide representatives to serve on the proposed center’s advisory board. “It’s trying to create some opportunities for students who wouldn’t have opportunities for health services,” said school superintendent Steve Matthews. Deputy Health Ofﬁcer and Director of Personal Health Services Colette Scrimger came to the board meeting to discuss plans for the proposed center. If the clinic opens, Scrimger said it would be primarily designed to serve students, although not limited to, Grand Ledge High School students. Students from across the county

could come to the clinic for services. While the main target population is students without regular access to health care, students with private medical insurance could seek help as well. She said the clinic would be open on a year-round basis. Scrimger said Monday’s vote was only one necessary step, and the plan is far from implementation. First, she said the school district and health department must reach agreement on appropriate available space. Matthews told the board that high school principal Steve Gabriel and operations director Matt Losch were in the process of attempting to identify available space within the high school. If space acceptable to the health department is found, a formal grant application will be submitted in mid-January, said Scrimger. If the grant is approved, the department should be notiﬁed sometime in April, Matthews said, and if all of the obstacles are cleared the clinic would open by October, 2011. See

earing their flannel PJs and bedroom slippers, two classes of kindergartners at Neff Early Childhood and Kindergarten Center boarded the Polar Express for a grand adventure Dec. 15. The trip started with a sprinkling of magic dust, then included everything from a hunt to find certain letters (S-A-N-T-A) throughout the school and decorating Horrock’s sturdy brown bags to a breakfast of French toast, waffles and sausage and a visit from Santa himself. Everyone took home a giftwrapped jingle bell, too, appropriately frozen because it had come directly from the North Pole. This is the bell from Santa’s sleigh that can only be heard by those who believe in him. The school experience, based on the events that happen in “Polar Express,” a story by Chris Van Allsburg, allows the kids to “reenact literature,” according to teacher Marlene Promer. Plus it’s just a lot of fun. “Kids relate to it,” Promer said. “We did it once and they loved it. So we did it again.” The Polar Express has been roaring into Grand Ledge, in fact, for about the last six years. This year Promer teamed up with fellow teacher Kim Browning and many PTO volunteers, as well as teacher assistants Jean Eggan and Nancy Boyd, to pull it off in style. It was a great chance for kids to host their parents at school. You could tell by the smile on 5-year-old Luke Robertson’s face how

CHARLOTTE - For the past 19 years, the Charlotte Community Dinner has served a hot meal, friendly faces, and fellowship to hundreds of people in the community. This year Charlotte Church of Christ will be hosting the Christmas week Community Dinner on Dec. 22 from 4:30-5:30 p.m. The Community Dinners began in 1992, and was originally thought of as a soup kitchen for the needy. When it was realized that some senior citizens, people with disabilities, and young families needed more than a bowl of soup to help them get through the week, it became a dinner. The Eagles Lodge generously donates their facility each Wednesday to make the Community Dinner a success. The dinners are sponsored by churches, clubs, businesses, and individuals in the Charlotte area. There are several ways to get involved in the Community Dinner. Due to the economic downturn, the Community Dinners have seen a drop in the number of groups stepping forward to help with the meals, while the number of hungry coming in has increased. Over the years it has become a place where anyone, regardless of income, can come get a hot meal. For many it is the only hot meal they will get all week. Many of the people who come here have some kind of disability that keeps them from earning an income sufﬁcient to pay for all their other needs. This dinner is a way to supplement that income, as well

as to spend time in fellowship with friends. In the beginning several women (which we call the core group) generally did the shopping, cooking, serving and cleaning up.Over the years, some of them have passed on or moved away. Others are getting on in years and are ﬁnding it difﬁcult to be there every week. There is concern that without enough support the dinners will come to an end. They are looking for people who are interested in helping with the shopping and cooking on a weekly basis. If you are willing and able to help, please contact SIREN, one of the partners in the dinner effort, at 517-543-0748. The public is invited to

Rep.-elect Shaughnessy takes oath of office CHARLOTTE - State Rep.-elect Deb Shaughnessy of Charlotte took the oath of office at a swearing in ceremony Monday night at the Charlotte City Hall in front of more than 40 family, friends, and supporters. “I am humbled by this opportunity to serve the people of Eaton County,” said Shaughnessy. “I will be a tireless worker for the people of our community, and will work diligently to get Michigan back to work.” Circuit Court Judge Tom Eveland officiated the ceremony and gave the oath to Shaughnessy. Shaughnessy has hired her legislative staff that will assist her with constituent relations, policy development, and communications when she takes office on Jan. 1. Matt Sowash graduated from Calvin College with a degree in international relations. He has worked extensively at the grassroots level on various political campaigns and helped Shaughnessy with her general

election campaign victory. Brad Wever is a graduate of Michigan State University with a degree in social relations from James Madison College and grew up in Eaton County. Brad brings eight years of experience working around the Legislature and Michigan politics. “I’m excited to have such talented individuals assisting me in serving the people of the 71st District,” Shaughnessy said. “I look forward to our team working hard to solve the difﬁcult issues facing Eaton County and the entire state of Michigan.” Deb Shaughnessy lives in Charlotte with her husband, Steve. She was elected on Nov. 2 with 59 percent of the vote. Shaughnessy is former Mayor of Charlotte, former legislative aide in the Michigan House and Senate, and customer service representative for an insurance agency. She has two children, Matthew and Christa Schueller, who both graduated from Charlotte High School.

Grand Ledge Independent

Neff: Polar Express pulls in for a year-end treat Continued from page 1

Sharon Womboldt, had a good time just watching the kids eat. “It’s nice to have the enjoyment without all the work and preparation,” she said with a smile. The dedication of the parents was readily

apparent. At each place in Browning’s room, for instance, was a homemade “Santa Apple,” his body a red Delicious apple, his head, arms and legs made of marshmallows on toothpicks. Meanwhile, children in Promer’s room were busy preparing reindeer food,

adding glitter to oatmeal flakes so that Santa and his reindeer will be able to easily find the food scattered on their front lawns in the dark on Christmas Eve. One mom said the reindeer mix comes in very handy at her house. Strewn on the lawn the day before Christmas Eve, it lures the reindeer a day early in order to accommodate her family’s travel plans.. Santa, aka Randy Miller, was probably the highlight of the event for most kids, stopping them in their tracks when they first entered the classroom to find him sitting in the rocking chair. Jessica Genia gave him a big hug and was happy to have the first chance to sit on his lap. The Polar Express adventure continued the next day, too, when the whole school got to enjoy the movie version of the famous story.

‘Stuff the Truck’ in progress at G. L. Ford

GRAND LEDGE - Grand Ledge Ford Lincoln at 6080 East Saginaw Highway in Grand Ledge is once again “Filling the Truck for Siren.” SIREN/Eaton Shelter serves survivors of domestic violence and homeless family. For the last several years with generous donations from the community, employees of the dealership have delivered each year five to seven truck loads of badly needed necessities to Siren. “We are hoping the community will once again reach out to these people who are very much in need,” said Marianne Cox of the dealership. “You can find the truck on the showroom floor of the dealership. Our staff will be more than happy to assist you with your donations.” The following is an excerpt from the Winter 2010 Report Annual Appeal: “It is hard to believe that it is once again time for SIREN’s year-end appeal! The time flies so quickly from one busy season to another; it doesn’t seem possible that the cold of winter is upon us already. People who have managed by sleeping in a vehicle or making do in a camper are coming in to seek help now that the nights are so cold. “The winter always puts a cruel edge on a shelter’s work - it is more difficult to turn people away when

you know that cars and campers are no longer an option. There are so many images we wish we could share -a mother whose legs have failed her lying helpless in a small, cluttered motel room. A beautiful little girl sitting quietly in the reception area with her head in her hands and tears slowly running down her cheeks. “Being able to count the ribs on a 9-year old boy who has taken off his shirt. Hearing the painful cry of an infant injured in an accident, knowing her parents have no stable home to shelter her in during her recovery. “All of these images provide a small snapshot of the work of the SIREN/Eaton Shelter. Thank you for caring enough as a community to wrap your arms around the hungry, homeless, and abused adults and children in our midst - your continued support allows SIREN to bring hope to the hard work our residents must do to re-build their lives and once again know the comfort of a home.” Some of the items that are needed: Towels (any kind); pillows (new only); blankets (clean used or new); paper towel/toilet paper; zip lock bags; aluminum foil/plastic wrap; tissue; sanitary products, shampoo andconditioner, laundry and household cleaning supplies, phone cards (any amount), gas cards (any amount), school

G.L. Scout takes Eagle

Michael Mandley, 18, from Boy Scout Troop 645, chartered by St. Michaels Catholic Parish, in Grand Ledge has attained the rank of Eagle Scout, the highest level of recognition that can be achieved in the Boys Scouts of America. This rank is shared by only four percent of all scouts nationwide. He will be honored at an Eagle Court of Honor Ceremony on Dec. 19. Michael’s Eagle Scout project involved the resetting of Civil War tombstones located in the old section of the Oakwood Cemetery in Grand Ledge. The tombstones had sunken, tipped or been displaced over time from their original positions. Each tombstone has a “Grand Amy of the Republic” marker next to it. Michael became involved in Cub Scouts when he was seven years old and attained the Arrow of Light award, the highest award available in Cub Scouts. He attended the Northwoods Scout Reservation summer camp for seven years and worked there as a Merit Badge Counselor. As a Boy Scout, he was the

Mt. Hope bridge closed after accident By DEREK MELOT | dmelot@lsj.com

Sheriff’s Department did not have additional details on the couple or the cause of the accident as of press time. The accident closed westbound I-96 between Martin Luther King Boulevard and I-496 Tuesday morning. The ramp from northbound I-69 to westbound I-96 also was closed, according to the Michigan Department of Transportation. As of Tuesday evening, all lanes were open. However, the Mt. Hope Highway bridge was closed again Tuesday night and will remain so until temporary supports are put in place, MDOT spokeswoman Kari Arend said. The bridge could reopen by the end of the week. The bridge had been reopened Tuesday, but Arend said MDOT bridge inspectors found more damage and it was closed again. The Robertses’ deaths were part of a difﬁcult stretch of days on Michigan roadways as a powerful winter storm dumped snow and arctic temperatures on the state. The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Stimulus “Last Chance” “Economic Stimulus” money for your own pocket… Act quickly, and you can receive a $1,500 gift from the government for the most comfortable and efficient heating & cooling system you’ve probably ever seen. I know. We hear all these “claims” about some superfantastic Government program that’s supposed to help normal, hard-working people living on “Main Street, USA.” But it always seems to end up in somebody else’s pocket, right? Well, not this time… if you act quickly. Among the billions of dollars the Government spread across our country in efforts to stimulate our economy, there’s something for your very own home and your very own pocket. It’s about your energy bills. Yes, I mean your energy bills for heating and cooling your home. Are you aware that in the Lansing area your heating and air conditioning system is responsible for an average of 43% of your monthly utility bill? Meanwhile, the cost of energy continues to skyrocket. What is the solution? Where does it end? Right here, right now, and here’s why: The government tripled the Federal tax credits through the end of 2010 to homeowners who are willing to help conserve energy.

pay. This is almost like the IRS marking through your tax bill with a red pen that says, “Courtesy discount of $1,500. Love, the U.S. Government.” Just incredible. What’s happened is, through the end of this year – in the government’s best offer ever – you can get a 30% tax credit of up to $1,500 for the purchase of highly efficient air conditioners, heat pumps or furnaces. So invest a moment now and call 517-627-4822 to schedule a time for your Free Home Energy Evaluation. We will provide you with all the details regarding system benefits, reduced cost of ownership, utility savings, the new tax credits and your projected return on investments. The call and Energy Evaluation are FREE, but the comfort and savings are yours! So call Aire Serv at 517-627-4822 today to schedule your free evaluation.

News in brief LANSING — Lansingbased grocery chain L&L Food Centers, in the midst of stark ﬁnancial difﬁculties brought on by competition, Michigan’s struggling economy and tight credit mar-

kets, is now operating under receivership, L&L brand manager Martha Levandowsi said in a statement today. The company has closed three stores in the past year, including the stores at the corner of Waverly Road and Saginaw Street and the Colonial Plaza in Lansing

late last month. The future of the ﬁve remaining stores in Lansing, Holt, Okemos, Haslett and East Lansing remain open, but L&L said more closings were likely without naming speciﬁc sites. The company’s remaining 300 employees were told today L&L is currently

operating under the auspices of Amherst Partners LLC, a court-appointed receiver named by the Ingham County Circuit Court. The abrupt closing last month of the two stores last month was out of the hands of L&L, the statement said. “The decision to close the Colonial Village and

West Saginaw locations with no notice to our associates was not our choice,” L&L Vice President Stephanie Birmingham said. “Our ﬁnancial institution mandated the closures. ... Managment is not sure of the next steps for the companies’ future.

Snow day decisions are not just ﬂuff

When I grew up in Albuquerque, New Mexico, snow was a big deal. While Albuquerque is a mile high – we always considered Albuquerque, not Denver, the Mile High City – winters were typically cold but dry. The Sandia Mountains, which frame the city on its eastern side, always had snow in the winter but it was rare in the city itself. Growing up, I can recall only a handful of days when school was canceled because of the snow. Most Michiganians would chuckle at the decision making process that was used. If Albuquerque had more than an inch of snow, school was usually postponed or canceled. Why? Albuquerque had no snow emoval equipment or system. Well, that is not completely accurate. There was a system. It was called the “waiting for it to warm up” system. If there was snow, the city’s process for removal was to wait for it to warm up. Here in Michigan, and in Grand Ledge speciﬁcally, we have to deal with snow on a regular basis. Canceling a day of school or delaying school for two hours is a decision that is not

made lightly. What is considered when we cancel or delay school because of the weather?

Safety ﬁrst

First, and most important, we consider the safety of our students. Will our students be safe as they wait for buses, ride to school with their parents or on a bus, or walk to school? Cold weather is a factor, but this is Michigan. It is going to get cold. If the temperature or wind chills are below minus 20 we will consider canceling or delaying school. We have a wind chill temperature index from NOAA that we rely on to help us calculate how cold the air feels on human skin. This chart includes a frostbite indicator, showing the points where temperature, wind speed, and exposure will produce frostbite on humans.

E-MAIL

This chart gives us an estimate of the time it would take for a person who is outside to be in danger of getting frostbite. We know that many of our students have to walk to bus stops or walk to school. We consult this wind chill chart to make sure that students who are outside waiting or walking will not be placed in a dangerous situation. We also consider the safety of our students as they wait for buses to arrive. Are the roads that our students wait on safe? This week with the ice and cold temperatures many of our roads were dangerous. Having students stand by the side of a road that is ice covered may expose them to danger. Delaying school allows trafﬁc to clear and roads to be less hazardous. After the safety of our students, we consider the delay that snow will cause. Our buses can maneuver in almost anything. They will rarely get stuck. But that is not true for cars. There are many times when our buses could continue a route but a car is stuck and they cannot get around it.

If we delay for two hours it usually allows for most of the trafﬁc to get out of the way and makes it easier for buses to run their routes on time. Snow also causes problems on some of the country roads that our buses travel. Many of these roads are not plowed and end up being one lane. While our buses can usually travel these roads it is not unusual for cars to get stuck. When this happens in front of a bus the bus is then put in a difﬁcult situation. It can attempt to go around the car, but often it is hard to see where the road ends and the ditch starts. Or the bus can back up, Facial Mask and Full Body Massage $

which is a very difﬁcult thing to do under normal circumstances. Put 40 to 60 students on the bus and backing up becomes very challenging. Snow has become more of a problem in the past couple of years as cities and counties try to cut costs by reducing when and how much they plow. I can sympathize with the cities, townships, and counties as they work to manage their budgets. What it means for us is that roads are often not ready ﬁrst thing in the morning like they used to be. It is important to know that we have someone who drives the roads in the morning.

We are not just guessing that the roads are bad or that the snow is deep. We know the conditions because someone has been on the road. Getting students and staff to school safely and in a timely manner is important. We are cautious. When you receive that early morning wake up call that lets you know that school is canceled or delayed I apologize for the inconvenience that it causes. However, the decision was not made lightly and it was done for what I consider to be good reasons.

Energy tax credits set to expire GRAND LEDGE - Homeowners will have to act quickly to take the government up on its offer to share the cost of improving energy efficiency in the home. A tripling of the tax credits for homeowners purchasing new, highly efficient air conditioners, heat pumps and furnaces is among the benefits for “Main Street” citizens included in the multi-billion dollar economic stimulus package signed into law in February 2009. But these benefits expire on Dec. 31, 2010. “As a tax credit, this reduces the amount you will pay in taxes, but that’s just one part of the savings,” said Dennis Wissner of Aire Serv Heating & Air Conditioning, 620 N. Clinton St., Grand Ledge.

“When you purchase an energy-efficient home comfort system, or make one of the other upgrades, you’ll also reduce what you’re paying in utility bills. In other words, the tax credit helps you with the cost of the system; the energy efficiency of the system helps with the cost of your utility bills.” Wissner urged customers to be cautious. “To qualify for the tax credits, the equipment and improvements have to meet minimum efficiency standards. So make sure you check with an energy-efficiency professional before you commit to your improvement,” he said. - From Aire Serve

their youthful adventures are legendary, not only in our family but I dare say in our neighborhood and beyond. Even as a child I knew they were a pair to watch out for! Now back in about 1972 I was a young student at Neff Elementary and they both were in High School. There was apparently at that time, a service that allowed you to submit a child’s name and sometime before Christmas, Santa himself would call on the phone and speak to the child and see what gifts they really wanted. Well, one evening I was home with my sister and the phone rang. She answered it and then told me it was for me. This was suspicious to me right away, I was only a kid and no one ever called me except my parents or grandparents. Then when I wanted to know who it was, she wouldn’t tell me. Well this put me on my guard. So reluctantly I took the

Of course looking back years later I realized Charisse had nothing to do with it, and my sister was just trying arrange a nice call for her little brother from Santa. And poor Santa didn’t know what was going on with this strange kid. I can look back now and laugh at myself, but at the time I was so sure I had put one over on the two of them. David S.

I remember my sister saying, “it’s Santa, he wants to talk to you.” It then hit me what must be going on, so I said into the phone “Is this Charisse?

GRAND LEDGE - A close game with visiting Jackson Lumen Christi (52-49) and a lopsided 83-64 loss at East Lansing finds the boys varsity team still seeking its first team win of the year. They now stand at 0-3 for the still young season. After a back and forth home game loss on Dec. 10 the Comets headed to East Lansing last Tuesday evening, fell behind early, and suffered their third straight loss. After leading 13-10 after the first period and trailing 25-24 at the half against Lumen Christi the two team traded numerouus leads before heading into the fourth period tied at 36-36. The fourth period was much the same as the neither team led by more than four points at any one time. A basket by senior Jimmie Cotter with 5:05 gave the Comets a 44-42 lead. Lumen Christi took the lead 46-44 with 2:39 remaining but a basket by senilor guard Dalton Reust tied the game again, at 46-46 with 1:21 to go. Lumen Christi went up 48-46 with 1:01 to go on two free throws before Grand Ledge miss the front end of a one-and-one with a chance to tie the game with 29 seconds remaining. Instead Christi added two more free throws to go ahead 50-46. Junior guard Jordan Loredo arched a long three point basket to cut the lead to 50-49 with 3.2 seconds to play but an inbound pass, Grand Ledge foul, and followed by two more free throws sealed the win at 52-49. Cotter paced the Comets attack with a game high 18 points. Loredo added 9 points on three 3 point baskets. Reust added 7, se-

GRAND LEDGE - 2011 is just two weeks away. If the new year brings the same success that the tail end of 2010 brought head wrestling coach Steve Delaney will have his Christmas wish. Last week his Grand Ledge wrestlers picked up two more double dual meets with a crushing 81-0 shutout over Lansing Everett and a similar 71-10 thumping over Lansing Sexton on Dec. 9. With the two wins the Comets stand at 4-0 as the Christmas break nears. After the Thursday meet the Comets headed to the Howell Invitational on Dec. 11.

Junior 285 pound Corey Arnouts also had two wins, aan 11-5 win against Sexton and a void against Everett.

Howell tournament

At Howell two days later the Coemts did very well as they finished eighth out of a field of 24 teams. “This is one of the toughest tournaments we will wrestle in all season,” said Delaney. “I was proud of our finish considering we only took 11 of the weight classes with us to wrestle. We have a few young guys in the lineup right nowthat we felt would be better served if we sent them to a JV tournament. We had 7 of our 11 wrestlers place in the top eight which I felt was a good accomplishment.” The tournament was highlighted by two Comets who wrestled in the finals. Senior Korey Knapp at 152 pounds had a great tournament. “He beat state ranked Derek Saunders from Monroe by a fall in the second period but lost to nationally ranked and recent MSU signee Roger Wildmo of Durand in the finals,” Delaney praised. The Comets other finalist was freshman Holt transfew Martin Rodriguez at 112 pounds, “Martin was seeded seventh in the tournament. He’s a freshman and doesn’t hold a seeding criteria.But, he battled his way to the finals and beat two staate placers on his way. He beat Kody Hukill of Otsego by a score of 5-0 who was fifth in the state last year.He then defeat-

ed Zach Henderson 11-6 to reach the finals. He finished eighth in the state last season. He then fell 7-3 in the finals to last year’s state champion from Chippiwa Hills, senior Devane Dodgens,”Delaney shared. “Both of our finalists had great tournaments and proved by their performances that they have the ability to make a deep run in March and compete for a state title,” Delaney assured. “Joey Kolwick (junior) finished fourth at 160 pounds. He really had a break out tournament coming in as an unseeded wrestler. He did a great job,” Delaney said. “He wrestled top ranked Jerry Flores from Saginaw Swan Valley in the semifinals and lost a hard fought match, 5-3.” Other Grand ledge placers were sophomore Bryan Jones who finished sixth in the 103 pound class. Sophomore Kyle Winstanley placed seventh at 125 pounds and junior Dalton Kirkey at 135 pounds and 145 pound senior Max Ristow both placed eighth.

GRAND LEDGE - “We’re young and they’re playing well and our senior leadership has been excellent,” Grand Ledge varsity head girls basketball coach Dave Jones said. Visiting Jackson Lumen Christi saw both ends of the young Comets as they improved their season record to 3-1 with a 49-40 win over the Titans. Freshman guard Hannah Orwat proved that she has

earned her starting job as she scored a game high 16 points. Along with her scoring she also added 7 rebounds, 5 steals, 1 blocked shot and just 2 turnovers while on the ﬂoor. Her sister Lindsay scored 5 points, all in the ﬁrst period, while hauling in 2 rebounds, 1 steal and 1 assist in limited time played. “They both played really well,” praised Jones. Jones also praised his senior leadership from Kasey Trierweiler, Kelly Gwasrdzinski and Maddie Johnston.

Trierweiler also added an offensive punch with 8 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal. Gwardzinski also helped out with 4 points and 3 rebounds while Johnston closed with 3 points and 8 rebounds. “All three of them have been doing a good job and have been excellent leaders for the younger girls,” added Jones. Junior Ashley Priest scored 6 points and yanked down 7 rebounds. Junior Krystai Kramer also added

7 points and hauled in eight rebounds and 3 steals. Grand Ledge led 18-12 after the ﬁrst period and fell behind 27-25 at the half. Hannah Orwat then went to work in the third period and 12 of her 16 points including two-3 point baskets, 2 for 2 from the free throw line and 3 of her 5 steals. “We’ve been playing pretty well so far,” stated Jones. “We’re really looking forward to beginning league play. We think we’ll be right up there in the upper half of the league.”

Third annual Jingle Belle bigger than ever DELTA TWP. - You couldn’t miss the Team Playmakers contingent at the third annual Jingle Belle Race for women at the Delta Township District Library Dec. 11. These were the people aged 50 and older in the bright red jackets, all 342 of them, who showed up with their own cheerleader coaches dressed in funny costumes. Coach Sally Long of East Lansing was decked out in a red-and-white polka dot number and red sunglasses. “Don’t take a picture of us, “ said fellow coach Ann Crane of Haslett, who appeared dressed for an appearance in some bizarre “Nutcracker” with her pouffy red ballerina skirt. “Take pictures of the runners.” The duo were too good to pass up, though, especially when Crane started clanging her big cowbell to support the team. There were lots of antlers and Santa hats, red shorts with white tights and all kinds of holiday socks. This Jingle Belle event just keeps getting bigger and bigger. “It goes up about 200 peo-

ple each year,” said race director Cherry Hamrick, also the Delta Library director and a long-time runner herself. Hamrick was too busy to race this year’s Jingle Belle, of course, but she displayed her own unique sense of fashion with a shiny silver halo. This year’s total was 742 women who signed up to either walk or run the 5K path through the neighborhood north and east of the library. Fifteen-year-old Allison Dible of Grand Ledge was the overall winner, with a time of 21:14. There were some interesting stories. Take Karin Dewley of Portland, for instance, who works for Auto Owners in Delta Township and placed second in the 50-54 age group. She and her sister, Krist Ziemer of Eaton Rapids, both of whom graduated from Waverly High School, started running in last year’s Jingle Belle, after a lot of persuasion on Dewley’s part. Now they’ve completed a half-marathon and are looking forward to a marathon. “Kris always took pictures of her sons, Brad, Matt and Dan, running,” Dewley said. “Now they’re taking

Runners get into the spirit of the day while warming up for the Jingle Belle Race. L to r: Carey Liston from San Francisco, CA, Michele Demers from Ann Arbor, Rose Skel from China, MI. In the foreground, getting an early start on her running career, is Demer’s daughter, Lindsay.

pictures of us.” Matt and Dan are both Western Michigan University students, so they’re not home much these days. But Kris says she’s looking forward to running more races with Brad, a Lansing Community College student, once he fully recovers from a stress fracture. The days are over, though, when she’s able to see Brad win a race. “Now that we both run, I don’t get to watch him finish,” she said, “because he usually comes in somewhere in the top five.” Hamrick wasn’t the only librarian at the Jingle Belle. In fact, librarians Becky Leboeuf, who works at the Delta library, and Sara Wedell, who used to work there but is now with the Chelsea library, walked the course together. Several women said they appreciate the library’s hospitality, with plenty of room to stretch and hot chocolate, coffee, popcorn and cookies after the race. Others said they like the festive atmosphere that doesn’t force people beyond what they can comfortably do. “It’s inspiring without (my) feeling I have to compete at (a certain) level,” said Chris Walker of Grand Ledge. Speaking of levels - at least one of the walkers had never seen a D-tag before and thought it was a wristband. (A D-tag is a device you tie on your shoe laces that registers your starting and finishing times on a chip.) Others chatted with their friends throughout the course, not interested in moving as fast as they could. For them the day was all about finishing and having fun. There was a lot of support from male significant others, too. Shane Kelly of Delta Township was waiting for his wife, Maggie, at the end of the route with the family dog, Cooper. Maggie said she used the Jingle Belle as her motivation to keep active since she first read about it in the paper.

The day was also a chance for all sorts of other community groups to tag on to the race. The Waverly Marketing Committee, for instance, had plenty of gold

and black items at one library table. The Court Appointed State Advocate (CASA) program in Charlotte was selling jewelry and other things to fund its sup-

port of foster children in Eaton and Barry County. And Waverly freshman Girl Scout Kelly Patterson was fundraising for her Gold Award project.

After 50 years toy business just doesn’t get old By MARY JO WHITE

mjwhite@lsj.com

LANSING TWP. - Eightyyear-old Betty Gillison has something for everyone in her well-stocked Toy Village, 3105 W. Saginaw, originally a centennial farmhouse, from the serious doll collector to the 5-year-old who has only a dollar to spend. The company is now celebrating 50 years in business. And during that past half century Gillison has made sure that everything she sells is a solid, well-made, classic “something.” You won’t find Barbie and Ken or anything Disney. There are no teenage Bratz dolls with their eyeshadow and lip gloss. “We carry things proven through the years that children love,”Gillison said. “We look for high quality, safe toys that have been proven child-worthy.” Toy Village overflows with sturdy wooden blocks, timetested Playmobile items, dolls made of everything from felt and porcelain to wood and wax. There’s a room with stacking rings and other safe items for the very young. Once a farmhouse bedroom, it still has its original wood floor.

The farmhouse kitchen is stuffed animal central, sporting everything from ferrets and seal pups to penguins, dinosaurs and a very large pheasant with bright plumage. There’s a huge section devoted to board games, too, something Brigitte Todd, who only recently discovered Toy Village and was browsing last week, said she really appreciates because her family enjoys playing them together. Todd’s daughter, Faith, 9, was more interested in playing with a set of wooden ramps for racing cars. Welcoming children to play, in fact, is another customer draw. Pam McJilton comes from Fowlerville to pick out toys for her grandchildren, sometimes bringing along her 5-year-old grandson who loves Thomas the Tank Engine. “They’re tolerant of kids playing here,” McJilton said. “Everything lasts forever. They don’t sell junk.” Gillison and her ﬁrst husband, Howard Slagh, an accountant at Fisher Body, bought the farmhouse in 1962, putting an addition on two years later. They lived upstairs, and their two children, John and Cindy, worked the

Six years after Slagh’s death from cancer in 1972, Gillison married Dow Gillison, a former district manager with Massey Ferguson, who used to joke that he went from dealing in iron to dealing in porcelain. Dow Gillison died in 1995 and John Slagh began managing Toy Village. Gillison remembers children from Windemere Park Elementary, now a charter school, walking the pedestrian overpass, now gone, to buy penny candy at her store. Now she sees those children’s children. “What we have is second and third generation,” she said. “Parents say they want to show their kids where they came as kids.” Gillison really has a soft spot in her heart for the dolls. The collectibles come from California, England, Switzerland, Germany. There are fairies made of felt and an Alice in Wonderland with two playing cards. There are dolls with handcarved wooden bodies and porcelain heads, with hair made of mohair and handstitched clothes. Asked which was her most expensive doll, Garrison said she once carried a limited edition doll from England called Mirabelle who was looking at another doll in a window. Mirabelle retailed for $7,000 and Gillison wound up selling four. “If I like it,” she said, “I can usually sell it.” Another favorite is the matryoshka nesting dolls from Russia, of which Gillison stocks plenty. The store’s dollar section is important, too, with John Slagh spending a good deal of time carefully stocking it. After all, a good toy store carries items kids can afford. Over the years, Toy Village has expanded to include two adjacent buildings, now used for storage, a website maintained by Gillison’s grandsons and a spot on Facebook. The grounds are beautifully landscaped, too, and

Gillison has a way of making employees part of the family, too.

Phyllis Whipple of DeWitt Township, for instance, has worked at Toy Village for almost 20 years and has no plans to retire. “I just enjoy it,” she said. “It keeps your mind busy and

active.” Plus it’s a great place to ﬁnd gifts for her 11 greatgrandchildren. Gillison, too, shows no signs of retiring. “As long as I can walk, I’ll be working,” she says.

Margaret Crismore Bishop Curry

Age 100, Margaret passed away Wednesday, December 8, 2010. Margaret’s home was always a gathering place for friends and family. She enjoyed sewing, crocheting and needlepoint, which included Christmas stockings for her children and grandchildren. She also made over 50 baby afghans for the neo-natal unit at Sparrow Hospital, and made over 50 cat blankets for the Eaton County Humane Society. Margaret said that she would never dress like an old lady, and she never did. She laughed, she loved, and she was never judgmental. She was a very good listener. She never learned to drive, never was on a plane, never learned to swim or how to ride a bike, but she traveled to every continental state and Canada. She played piano for and taught beginner’s Sunday school at Grand Ledge United Methodist Church. She was born and raised a city girl until she married and was relocated to the country where she learned about rural life. Margaret is preceded in death by her parents, John & Carrie Crismore; first husband of 40 years Byron Bishop; second husband of 22 years Lester Curry; son Byron Bishop Jr.; brother Ford Crismore; and great-granddaughter Ruthie Cutter. She is survived by her children Joan (Melvin) Briggs of Ionia, Thomas (Gearoldine) Bishop of Lansing, Barry (Bev-

hop ing, rry erly) Bishop of Holt; step children Rosemary (Bill) Bauer of Lansing, Janice (Peter) Winiarski of Battle Creek, Maxine (Mike) Plotnick of Potterville, Sydney Curry of Agusta GA, Douglas Curry of Lansing; daughter-in-law Patricia Bishop of Portland; 18 grandchildren, 28 great-grandchildren, 2 great-great-grandchildren; and a special niece Genieve Stanaway. As per her wishes, a private family service will be held. Arrangements by Tiffany Funeral Home. Donations may be made in Margaret’s name to Samaritan’s Purse, P. O. Box 3000, Boone, NC 28607.
