The festival, which celebrates the township’s origins going back to the mid-19th century, will be held from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 24 at the Meridian Historical Village. Festival-goers will find lots to do, from a sampling of pioneer and Native American foods to musical entertainment, games and special exhibits. The village is located at 5151 Marsh Road, in the township governmental complex. There is no admission charge, but plan to bring spending money for food and crafts.

CIVIL WAR EXHIBIT This features the personal story Hubert F. Miller of Ingham County. His life was forever changed by one of the strangest battles of the Civil War — the Battle of the Crater. Union troops dug a tunnel and placed explosives to destroy Confederate defenses at Petersburg. He was captured in that battle and spent seven months in the infamous Danville Prison. His story is told through excerpts of letters between Hubert and his “dear friend” Lucia. Numerous persona artifacts will be on display.

EAST LANSING – Two meetings remain before the East Lansing School Board officially decides on a major overhaul of the use of its school buildings, but it does have a tentative plan, approved by just one vote. After more than a three-hour meeting Sept. 8, a recommendation that shifts the sixth grade to MacDonald Middle School and keeps five K-5 schools, except Red Cedar Elementary, was approved by a 4-3 vote.

A final vote on the recommendation is scheduled to take place Monday, Sept. 26. A public hearing – where the only agenda item will be public comments on the plan – will be held at 6 p.m. Monday, Sept. 19 at MacDonald, 1601 Burcham. The $62 million price tag for additions, renovations and remodeling to the six Chapin schools is proposed to be financed with an extension of the existing 7-mill debt levy. That request is expected to go to voters in February 2012. “We have a great possibility to reenergize our elementary schools and elementary education,” said Chapin, whose recommendation the board endorsed.

Plan Continued from Page 1

Red Cedar worries Board members opposing the plan were concerned about the closure of Red Cedar for the 2016-17 school year. The argued it is renowned for its internationally diverse student body and the resulting multiculturalism. It’s also one of East Lansing’s smallest schools, with 198 resident K-6 students in the most recent count. Red Cedar students have a “phenomenal opportunity and experience,” board member Donna Rich Kaplowitz said.

“We have a great possibility to re-energize our elementary schools and elementary education.” DAVID CHAPIN, superintendent

“I’m not sure the (Red Cedar) program can continue in another area,” trustee Nell Kuhnmuench added. Once closed, Red Cedar students and faculty would move to Glencairn. Bringing students from Red Cedar into a larger community is in “the best interest of all”, Babs Krause offered in support of the plan.

WHAT’S NEXT A final vote on the recommendation is scheduled to take place Monday, Sept. 26. A public hearing – where the only agenda item will be public comments on the plan – will be held at 6 p.m. Monday, Sept. 19 at MacDonald, 1601 Burcham.

Moving central office Board members made several amendments to Chapin’s recommendation, unanimously approving a motion by George Brookover to move district offices into Red Cedar once the Timberlane property is sold or otherwise occupied. The rest of the building would have an alternative educational use of some type, with possibilities including a public preschool – something East Lansing Public Schools does not offer, having turned pre-school administration over to the city some years ago. Chapin had recommended a move into the third floor of the Hannah Community Center, offering the potential for shared services with City of East Lansing. An amendment by Kaplowitz

Under a recommendation proposed by East Lansing Superintendent Dr. David Chapin, Red Cedar School would close following the 2015-16 school year. COURTESY PHOTOGRAPH to consider a Spanish-language program equally with the existing Chinese immersion program at Red Cedar passed 5-2. East Lansing director of planning and community development Tim Dempsey told the board that while census data from 2010 shows an overall population growth in the city, the number of school-aged children has declined over the last decade.

Fewer young students Total population is up 4.6 percent to 55,177, but there are 104 fewer children age 5 and younger and 607 fewer children aged five to 17. The trend is not unique to East Lansing, Dempsey continued, as Meridian Township – home to the Haslett and Okemos districts – and Ingham County have seen

similar drops. “We are not alone in this,” he noted. Case in point: The area’s fastest-growing population is those 85 and older. And while census data does not reflect the stories of families who have moved into East Lansing in the last two years, Dempsey said new residents may only be making a dent in losses from earlier in the decade. One new arrival is Kedzie Street resident Lisa Rutkowski, who moved from Minnesota 18 months ago – ironically, from a district undergoing the same kinds of decisions. “We have a chance to make it better,” Rutkowski said. “I encourage everyone to focus on the long-term viability of the school district, not just on one school building.”

OKEMOS – With every-

thing her son Luke has been through, Monica Fochtman figures a little hair isn’t a big loss. The Okemos mother of two is will be in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday, Sept. 21 as part of the 2011 class of 46 Mommas Shave for the Brave. She’ll be there because Luke Fochtman, a 5-1/2 year-old kindergartner at St. Thomas Aquinas School in East Lansing, is a cancer survivor. Fochtman and the other 45 Mommas will all shave their heads in support of their children. The group’s name comes from what could be a particularly grim statistic: Each weekday in the U.S., 46 mothers are told their child has cancer. Donations to the 46 Mommas go to St. Baldrick’s, a charitable organization known as the world’s largest volunteer fundraiser for research into childhood cancer. Luke was diagnosed with Stage IV Embryonal Rhabdomyosarcoma, a cancer of the muscles attached to the bones and one of the most common cancers in young children. The diagnosis came Dec. 12, 2008, just five days after his third birthday.

Suspicious lump

MORE INFO

“We found a suspicious lump in his groin, and went to our pediatrician,” Monica Fochtman said of the initial discovery. Looking back, there were signs something was wrong – changes in personality, complaints of pain and photos which show him leaning to one side. While helping Luke get dressed for bed one day, the lump was visible. While the lump didn’t raise alarm bells right away, one doctor visit was enough to make them concerned. “We weren’t alarmed until we took him to see our pediatrician on a Wednesday, and I didn’t become alarmed until we had an appointment down at University of Michigan Hospital by Friday morning,” Monica Fochtman said. Their pediatrician, she continued, “knew exactly what he was looking at and how far it had gone.” At U-M, Luke underwent an MRI and an ultrasound. The diagnosis came by 5 p.m. “I felt absolute terror,” Monica Fochtman said. “Fear, anger – just absolute terror.” The cancer had already spread to other organs, including Luke’s lungs. The family eventually went through 15 months of treatment, as infections

and other complications extended the original 54-week schedule. Several different chemotherapy treatments were used, along with six weeks of daily radiation.

Remarkable patient Through it all, Luke was by all reports a remarkably tolerant patient. “We were very fortunate in that Luke was so young. It was hard to believe it at the time, but his age was actually a great asset to his treatment,” Monica Fochtman said. And while he hasn’t asked too much yet about what he endured, Luke’s parents expect he will eventually. “I don’t think he was old enough to ask tough questions,” dad Sean Fochtman said. “It’s what he was doing

at the time. I bet we’ll get those tough questions later, when he turns 11 or 12 or 13 and he realizes what he went through as a 3-yearold.” “This was a boy who had bacterial infections so severe that he was throwing up in the middle of the night with a 105-degree fever, who we then took in the middle of the night to University of Michigan Hospital,” Monica Fochtman added. “He didn’t say no. That’s not a parental exaggeration because I think my kid is so great – he didn’t say no, ever.” Not only a positive attitude helped him fight the cancer – there were video games too. “We’ve been boxing on the Wii, with bags, and we would pretend the bags were like chemo, and we would fight it out,” Luke

Mom to shave her head for her brave son

The Fochtman family of Okemos (from left, Connor, dad Sean, mom Monica and son Luke) are banding together for 46 Mommas Shave for the Brave, taking place Wednesday, Sept. 21 in Washington, D.C. 5-year-old Luke is a cancer survivor, and Monica will be having her head shaved in his honor. The campaign raises money to support childhood cancer research. COURTESY PHOTO Fochtman said. The soundtrack for the fight? Survivor’s “Eye of the Tiger”. The whole family – including Luke and his younger brother, Connor – will be there in Washington to help handle the clippers. Monica Fochtman said

she’s not the least bit concerned about shaving her head – in fact, she had asked Luke if she could do it during his treatment. He said no. “I’m happy to do it, I’m proud, and I want people to ask me why I have no hair,” she said.

Independent, foreign films available in Okemos Carol Grund

| For the Towne Courier

n cities around the world, movie fans flock to small theatres and art-house cinemas to watch award-winning, independent and foreign films. In the greater Lansing area, they need go no further than the Okemos branch of the Capital Area District Library. For more than five years, the Okemos Library has contracted with a New York City-based film distribution company called Film Movement. The agreement allows them to access feature films and shorts from 37 countries on six continents, including top prize winners from Sundance, Cannes, Venice, Toronto, Berlin, Tribeca and other prestigious festivals. Public Services Librarian Eric Stanton is in charge of screening the films in advance and hosting the viewings. “We show a short followed by a feature film every third Thursday of the month at 6:30 p.m.,”

he says. “Everything is free — we even serve popcorn and soft drinks provided by our Library Friends group.”

Thought provoking

depict some aspect of the human experience, showing how people cope in the context of that particular culture.”

Okemos librarian Eric Stanton shows two of his favorite titles from the library’s collection of independent and foreign films.

Older audience

Stanton finds that viewers who are attracted to these kinds of films enjoy the thought-provoking topics and themes, which contrast sharply with typical or formulaic Hollywood movies. Many viewers lament the loss of the Odeon Theatre, which closed in 1998, and express their appreciation to the library for filling the gap. In addition to film fans, the screenings also appeal to viewers interested in learning about other cultures, or those looking for a connection to a culture they left behind. “The greater Lansing area is very internationally diverse, especially because it’s home to MSU,” Stanton points out. “Although these films represent different cultures and styles, they have one thing in common — filmmakers who

Because many of the films deal with intense issues and mature themes, the library recommends them for adults and older teens. “We do get some feel-good titles, though,” Stanton says. “A few years ago we screened ‘The Great Match,’ about the extreme efforts of soccer fans in developing countries to gain access to television broadcasts of World Cup matches. My son was a tween and really enjoyed it — even with the subtitles!” While there isn’t time for formal discussion, viewers often chat with each other following a screening. Sometimes they’ll approach Stanton at the information desk and want to continue discussing the films, days or even weeks later. When asked about his own favorites, Stanton has a hard

time choosing. “There have been so many good ones,” he says “I’d probably go with ‘Be with Me’ from Singapore, or maybe ‘Adams Apples’ from Denmark.” Once the films have been shown, the DVDs become part of the library’s collection. That means anyone with a CADL card can check out and enjoy the films at home. Stanton maintains a list of the titles, so patrons can easily find them.

Titles for upcoming screenings are available in the library’s event guide and online at cadl.org/events. The Okemos Library, a Capital Area District Library, is located at 4321 Okemos Road.

Fall Home Improvement Is D-I-Y a recipe for saving money overall? Many homeowners or renters wrestle with the question of whether to tackle a project as a do-it-yourself venture to save some money or simply leave it to a professional. Each situation is unique, but there are certain factors that must be considered regardless of a homeowner’s particular situation. On the surface, a DIY task can seem a very good way to save some money. After all, a large percentage, sometimes as much as 50 percent, of the cost of hiring a contractor goes toward labor. For a DIY job with no such costs, the final financial tally can be substantially less. Although labor can be expensive, that cost is often justified. People who hire carpenters, electricians, plumbers, and the like are paying for the workers’ experience. They’re also paying with the expectation that the job will be done correctly. With jobs that require a building permit or must be done to specific code, the contractor often puts his reputation on the line and will be held

Installing a new deck may be a project best left to the professionals because of the skill level required. FILE PHOTO accountable if the work doesn’t meet requirements. That isn’t to say an untrained individual can’t tackle a specific job around the house. There are some guidelines that may make such projects go more smoothly and, as a result, more affordable. • Read up and learn as much as you can about the particular

work to be done. It’s easier to make mistakes if you do not know where to start. • Talk to others who have also done the work. They may have some tips or advice that can save you time and money. You may also want to ask if they can help and show you the ropes. • Be sure to obtain all neces-

sary permits before starting any work. Don’t risk a fine for doing work without permits or having work inspected. • When applying for permits, find out if there is a list of codespecific requirements that you can follow -- a cheat-sheet of sorts. It may list rated materials required and any techniques. See if you can speak to an inspector who will be visiting your property later on to find out what he or she looks for specifically. • You must feel confident with the endeavor. If you are unsure about anything, you may risk injury or make a significant mistake and be forced to hire someone to clean up your mess. • Consider reputable sources for information. While it’s easy to go online and scour message boards for pointers on certain tasks, not all of the information is accurate. Trust only content from sources that are licensed or backed by certification in a certain area. These things being said, there are a number of DIY projects that

regular people can try. Starting off small and building up as skills are developed are good ways to begin. For example: • Tile a small kitchen backsplash before tackling an entire bathroom shower enclosure or floor. • Build an outdoor potting stand before attempting furniture or cabinetry work in a main room of the house. • Change out a ceiling fan or lighting fixture before re-running electrical lines through the home. • Succeed in repairing a leaky drain pipe before taking on a more advanced plumbing issue. • Use regular painting techniques first before experimenting with a trendy faux finish or plaster application. There are many different things individuals can do themselves that stretch beyond routine home maintenance. From manicures to pool upkeep, the potential to save money when budgets are tight can be a powerful motivator.

Ways to ready your home to withstand harsh winter weather insulation. Such joists won’t be visible in an adequately insulated attic. Put up the storm windows. It’s nice to open the windows in the spring and summer and let the warm air waft in through the screens. But when summer is over, it’s time to put up the storm windows once again. Storm windows add an extra layer of protection from the elements and are especially valuable in homes with single-pane glass windows. Homeowners who don’t have storm windows should consider upgrading their existing windows. Such a project isn’t cheap, but newer windows will almost certainly lead to lower heating costs, meaning the project will essentially pay for itself over time. Homeowners who can’t afford to replace all of their windows don’t have to replace them all at once. Instead, replace them a few at a time and make the

rooms where you spend the most time each winter the first on the list to receive new windows. Be diligent with the gutters. Leaves falling from trees is an idyllic image associated primarily with autumn. Unfortunately, when leaves fall they often fall into the gutters. Routinely clean the gutters once the leaves start to fall. Clean gutters will allow snow and rain to effectively drain through the gutters. If the gutters are clogged, snow might have nowhere to go when it begins to melt, and roof damage might result. Such damage is costly but preventable in most instances. One of the easier preventive measures to take is to routinely clean the gutters of leaves and other debris that accumulate during the fall. When cleaning the gutters, make sure they are properly aligned. Poorly aligned gutters can lead to a host of problems.

One such problem is flooding. If downspouts are not properly aligned with the rest of the gutters, then water might not be directed away from the home as it’s intended. Instead, water might be directed toward the home, resulting in flooding or additional water damage. Have the furnace cleaned. Experts recommend annual furnace cleanings. Before cold weather arrives, turn the furnace on to make sure it’s still working. An unpleasant odor should appear when first turning on the furnace, but it shouldn’t last very long. If the odor sticks around, turn the furnace off and call a professional. Once winter arrives, routinely replace the filters. This makes the furnace operate more efficiently and can also reduce the risk of fire.

their disposal to plug leaks, be it door sweeps that block air from entering under exterior doors to caulk applied around leaky windows. When using caulk outdoors, be sure to use a weatherresistant caulk or, if sealing brick, use masonry sealer. Add insulation upstairs. Homeowners who have an attic in their homes might want to consider adding some insulation up there. Experts recommend a minimum of 12 inches of insulation in the attic. That might prove costly, but a poorly insulated attic is akin to opening the front door and letting the heat out. It might be best for less-thanhandy homeowners to hire a professional to insulate the attic. But do-it-yourselfers might find it good to know that if the ceiling joists, which are often 11 inches or less, are visible, then the attic is in need of additional

FALL HOME IMPROVEMENT 2011

As autumn arrives, homeowners can take several steps to get their homes ready for whatever winter has to offer with the following tasks. Fix the leaks. A leaky home will prove an expensive home during the winter months. A home with many leaks will be much colder to inhabit, and homeowners typically turn up the heat to counter drafts that can make a home feel like a meat locker. But turning up the thermostat isn’t the answer. Instead, fix leaks in the fall before the cold weather arrives. Leaks should not be very hard to find. On the first breezy autumn afternoon, walk around the house in search of any drafty areas. These drafts will be noticeable and often occur around doors and window frames, electrical outlets and even recessed lighting. Homeowners have a host of options at

Things to consider when budgeting your home improvement Home improvement projects have become de rigueur for today’s homeowners. Be it a kitchen remodel or the ever popular man cave project, home improvement projects remain a goal for many. As enticing as a home improvement project might be, no project can be successful until a budget has been established. The right budget will keep homeowners from going deep into debt when improving their homes, ensuring that, upon the project’s completion, they can fully enjoy their revamped castles without the specter of significant debt hanging ominously over their heads. Before beginning a home improvement project, homeowners can take the following things into consideration.

Credit score: Before beginning a home improvement projects, homeowners should construct a budget to ensure the project is a success. FILE PHOTO

Many homeowners finance home improvement projects with loans from the bank. Particularly in the current economy when banks are being forced to tighten lending requirements, securing such loans isn’t easy. Homeowners with significant credit card debt should eliminate such debt before beginning a project. Doing so serves multiple purposes. First and foremost, eliminating outstanding debt will free up more money to allocate toward the project. Eliminating debt will also make loan applicants more attractive to prospective creditors, increasing their chances of securing a loan and a lower interest rate.

be able to go toward a project. Monthly expenses include everything from groceries to mortgage payments. When the comparison between monthly expenses and monthly income has been made, Project’s priority: homeowners can get a grasp Budgeting a home of just what they can and improvement project also cannot afford. involves being honest as

homeowners should examine their finances before starting a home improvement project. Just because a bank will loan out money for a project doesn’t mean the project is affordable. Homeowners should compare their monthly expenses with their Personal finances: incomes, and then deterIt sounds simple, but mine what’s left that might

to just how necessary the project is. For example, a man cave might be a dream project, but should it be a priority over other things around the house? If wear and tear is taking its toll on the roof, for instance, the money going toward the man cave should probably be allocated to replacing the roof instead. If a project is low on the priority list but high on the want list, re-examine those projects higher up on the priority list to determine if they are more deserving of immediate attention and funds than vanity projects.

Overrun costs: Not every home improvement project will come in at or under budget. Many go over budget due to a host of factors. Homeowners should not be caught off guard when a project goes over budget. Instead, plan for the project to go over and expect such frustration. Allocate extra money in the original budget for overrun costs. This will reduce stress and frustration, and if the project comes in under budget, then there’s extra money when the project is completed.

Fall lawn care, winter growth Warm-weather days will soon be a thing of the past and that means prepping the home and landscape for the arrival of winter weather. Even though it may be blanketed first by leaves and snow, lawns need treatment now to be sure they overwinter successfully. In fact, lawn experts say there is significant root growth that takes place during the winter -growth homeowners won’t necessarily see. People should continue to water their lawns throughout the autumn if there isn’t significant rain and to aerate it as well. Applying a fertilizer that is high in nitrogen can help foster strong root growth. Also, keep up on removing leaves that have fallen. Not only will they stifle the lawn, but they may cause excessive moisture and mold to grow while inhibiting sunlight from reaching the grass as well. Before winter arrives, take the time to sow some grass seeds into the bald patches.

At times homeowners are unsure about High capacity pleated filwhether they need to use primer or if just paint will do the trick. Although there are no firm rules, there are certain cases where one or the other will be adequate. Consider a room where the walls have been heavily stained, either by moisture infiltration, rust or another factor. Deep-set stains may bleed through regular paint, therefore a primer should be applied. There also are specialized primers that can be used in rooms such as kitchens and bathrooms that often contain a lot of moisture. These primers inhibit the growth of mold and mildew on painted surfaces. If a room is only to be painted white or tinted slightly with color, then a primer alone can be used. Rooms that are being painted that are already white and free of stains or other surface abnormalities may be painted sufficiently with just a coat of regular paint. If skipping primer, look for a high-quality, thick paint that boasts good coverage in one or two coats. There are new products today that offer primer and paint all in one combination. The jury is still out on the efficacy of these new items, but homeowners can experiment with these paints to see if they work for them.

Schmidt’s opponent in the August 2012 Democratic primary will be another former East Lansing mayor, Sam Singh, who announced his candidacy in May. “I look forward to comparing my proven track record on education, MSU, economic development and the environment against any candidate,” Singh said by phone Wednesday.

While on the school board, Schmidt helped lead efforts to win voter approval for renovations to East Lansing schools, and also assisted efforts to get what is now the East Lansing Aquatic Center built. Schmidt received the Crystal Award, East Lansing’s highest award for volunteerism, in 2007. She is also a recipient of the Distinguished Community Service Award presented by the East Lansing Educational Foundation. “Her dedication, commitment and energy are exemplified by her habit of rolling up her sleeves and

If elected, Schmidt said she would focus on tying education and skills training more closely to workforce development and efforts to revive the economy. She would also focus on “reinvesting” more state funding in public education – pre-kindergarten through college, and she wants to help small businesses thrive and create jobs, balancing environmental concerns with economic growth and protecting senior citizens from fraud and abuse.

Viking golfers off to perfect start Haslett’s girls golf team is off to one of its strongest starts yet, currently undefeated at 6-0. Led by first year coach and Haslett grad Stephanie Wagemann, the Vikings hosted their last home meet on Tuesday and defeated the DeWitt for the first time in seven years. Haslett also captured the Portland Invitational championship title. Haslett will compete in three more dual meets before entering, what they hope will be, a long playoff run.

The differfifth soccer win of the ence between winning and season, improving to 5-2 losing is small, and it’s all with a 2-1 overtime win about who is going to make over Grand Ledge Tues- a play and who isn’t when day.

East Lansing breezes to third straight win Kelsey Pence kpence@lsj.com

EAST LANSING — Javon

Haines knew his junior class had big shoes to fill heading into the season. Now, entering the fifth week of football, Haines hopes to continue the success they’ve h e l p e d create so far. E a s t Lansing improved to 3-0, grabbing Coach a 54-6 victor Feraco y over Jackson Sept. 9 in their first league matchup. The Trojans were at Eastern Friday, and will host Holt on Sept. 23. “We have a lot of depth so that’s really helping us,” Haines said. “I just feel like being a junior, I know my class has talent and that we can come up and help the seniors.” Haines, also a basketball standout for East Lansing, scored two touchdowns along with J.R, Lara who added two and Elijah Hamilton-Wray who scored three in the victory over Jackson. Haines also racked up two interceptions in the victory. “He’s a heck of an athlete,” Feraco said. “He is a very good football player and he is a playmaker and he is going to be even better as he continues to play. We are excited to have him as a wide receiver.” Defensively, the Trojans are off to a strong start. Last season East Lansing gave up just 11.2 points per game and Feraco hasn’t been any less impressed this year. If there’s one thing Feraco has been stressing this season, it’s offensive consistency. The Trojans have had a balanced scoring attack so far but Feraco will be expecting more as the Trojans prepare to face some of their toughest competition in the upcoming weeks.

“We were a little more polished than we were last week, obviously, and that showed itself on the field,”

Feraco said after defeating Jackson.“Each week we need to practice a little bit better. If we do that, we will take whatever happens.” Hamilton-Wray said he’s hoping to expand on the

success of last season. “We are trying to do the same things we did last year when we were 7-2,” he said. “I know we lost a lot of senior so all of us seniors knew we had to step up

this season and we are getting a lot of help from the juniors.” Haines agreed. “We still have a lot to improve on but I think a lot of people work hard

in practice,” he said. “We have people coming off the bench, helping the starters out. Offensively we have a lot to work on but I really have high expectations for the season.”

Haslett volleyball team knocks off rival Kelsey Pence

| kpence@lsj.com

HASLETT — Wendy McCann let her Haslett volleyball team know prior to the season that she wasn’t lowering her expectations. And despite losing all their starters from last season, the Vikings have proved they are still a threat in the CAAC Red. McKenna Ott had 15 kills and Jess Tyrer had 31 assists as Haslett improved to 5-2 last Tuesday, defeating league rival DeWitt 25-23, 25-17, 25-17. “Yes, there’s a rivalry between us and DeWitt, and it’s a big rivalry,” McCann said. “But I really believe that our kids have come to realize that it’s every game that counts.” Lexy Mitchell had 19 digs for the Vikings, who are now 2-0 in conference play. While McCann knew she’d see big things from Tyrer, the senior setter said she’s been pleasantly surprised with how well her team is clicking. “Our chemistry is great for how young we are,” she said. “We haven’t played together that long, but we all connect really good. I didn’t know we were going to have this much control over the whole game and I was really proud of us tonight.”

Both Tyrer and McCann believe there is a lot of potential for improvement for the Vikings through the rest of the season. “We have a lot of work to do,” McCann said. “We have young kids and can only get better which is kind of cool. I am really excited to keep working on our offense and make it more diverse because I have such strong athletes.” “I think it is going to go even better farther on in the season,” Tyrer said. “We just set a lot of team goals and individual goals at practice to make sure that we’re working as hard as we can at all times. We have a really young team, but I think our potential is really high.” With DeWitt having a young team as well, Tuesday’s match looked to be evenly matched. But Haslett was able to control play from the start. “We came out on our heels and they came out ready to play,” DeWitt coach Christy Drayton said. “We always set high expectations and Haslett’s Lexy Mitchell (12), who is obstructed our first goal is to win the league. from view, and Makenna Ott (10) defend “We are young, but we want to make a run at the net against DeWitt’s Kaylee Schmitt. every single year no matter how many girls we MATTHEW DAE SMITH\LSJ MEDIA graduate. No matter what kind of a team I have, those are our expectations.” Cassie Bell had 23 digs for the Panthers. DeWitt won the CAAC Gold division last Carly Stieve had 21 assists and seven blocks year before moving to the Red this season. and AJ Jaconette had 11 kills.
