Schools probe cause of fatal wall collapse Ken Palmer

| kpalmer@lsj.com

WILLIAMSTON - School officials were assuring parents that district buildings are safe as investigators tried to determine the cause of a wall collapse that killed a 14-year-old boy at the high school on Wednesday. It might be awhile before that determination is made, they indicated. “Obviously, we’re going to bring some folks in to look at it, and it’s going to be several days - or even weeks - before we have a final answer,” said Steve Cook, finance director for Williamston Community Schools. “We want to assure parents that we believe our facilities are safe. We’re treating this as a tragic accident, and that’s what we believe it is.” Gabriel Corbett, 14, was doing chin-ups on the cement-block wall about 4:30 p.m. when it crumbled and fell onto him, police Chief Bob Young said. Another boy who was in the locker room at the time tried to help the victim but had to seek help, Young said. Classes were held as usual on Thursday, when teachers at the high school and middle school allowed students to discuss their feelings during first hour, school officials said in a letter posted on the district’s Website. Counselors also were made available, they said.

Williamston ninth grader Amelia Berg reaches high to stick a tribute to Gabe Corbett on a hallway memorial display at Williamston High School last Thursday. GREG DERUITER\LSJ The high school, which opened in 1990 and had more facilities added in 1997 and 2007, has two boys locker rooms, Cook said. The locker room where the wall collapsed was built in 1990, he said. Police and school officials declined to discuss why the wall, which was attached to lockers and did not extend to the ceiling, might have crumbled. “We have a pretty good handle on how that wall came down, but we’re not going to go any further than that right now,” Young said. The locker room has been sealed off while the investigation continues, school officials said.

The high school has two gymnasiums and locker rooms after a building addition several years ago, said school board member Gordon Wenk. Williamston senior Leo Deason, said he heard noise in the older of the two locker rooms and rushed in to help. He and a few other people removed cement blocks that had fallen on the boy. Deason said it was not a full wall but rather one connected to lockers. Deason said he removed his shirt to use to apply pressure to the student, who was bleeding. The teen was a few years younger, but Deason said he knew him from summer football

practices. “He just was a nice guy,” Deason said. Students took to Facebook last Wednesday evening to post comments about the student, adding that classmates should dress in black last Thursday. School board member Ernie Gaffner said, “It’s just a tragic accident and the school feels very sad about the incident. I’ve been on the board 30 years and we’ve never had anything like this happen.” Late last Wednesday, the district’s website read: “Around 4:00 p.m. Wednesday afternoon a tragic accident occurred in the boys locker room at the high school. Emergency crews were on the scene and the student was transported to Sparrow Hospital. Student identity has not been formally released. School will be in session on Thursday and counselors will be available for stu-

dents and staff. The accident is currently under investigation by the Williamston Police. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family.” All first-hour teachers at the middle school and the high school talked to students, let them know about options for grief counseling and gave students an “opportunity to share,” said Superintendent Narda Murphy Thursday. Trying to support the Gabriel Corbett’s family was her main goal, Murphy said. “I feel so badly for the family,” Murphy said. “All focus on is what this family is going through.” Gabriel Corbett has been in the Williamston school system since the third grade. Lansing State Journal reporters Kevin Grasha, Lindsay VanHulle and Louise Knott Ahern contributed to this story.

WEBBERVILLE - Voters will be asked to fill two open seats on the Webberville Board of Education in the Nov. 8. Problem is, no candidates will appear on their ballots because nobody filed to run for the seats by the Aug. 16 deadline. But that doesn’t mean there are no candidates. Amy Coe and Bill Rozema have filed declarations of intent to run as write-in candidates for the open four-year terms, Leroy Township officials said. Webberville schools Superintendent Brian Friddle said both candidates came forward and expressed interest in running after incumbents Mark Miller and Caron Guidroz chose not to seek re-election and no one filed to run. “I think they’ve both made an informed decision and realize they will be required to make some difficult decisions,” Friddle said of Coe and Rozema. “This is a tougher time to be on a board because the decisions you have to

make are much more difficult than they used to be.” Miller has been on the board since 2006 and Guidroz since 2005, and their children have recently graduated, Friddle said. Friddle said Coe and Rozema both have children in the school system and have been involved in school activities. Neither candidate could be reached by the Enterprise last week. Webberville switched from holding its school board elections in the spring to the fall a couple of years ago. Some people may not have been thinking about a school board election in the middle of the year, Friddle said. “That’s part of it,” he said. “(But) we need to do a better job of recruiting, maybe do more advertising and more talking to people about the need.” Voters in the Williamston school district also will have two four-year seats to fill on Nov. 8. Incumbents Marci Scott and Larry Ward are running unopposed.

Pig roast, auction to benefit Ryder family | kpalmer@lsj.com

arry Ryder loved music and played drums in a band until Parkinson’s Disease and an aggressive form of dementia forced him to stop. “After he was diagnosed, he couldn’t play all that much,” Ryder’s wife, Teresa said. “Back in July, they had a big, huge party in honor of Larry. That choked him right up. He cried that night.” Ryder, 53, the father of two young boys, died Oct. 24 at home. Community members are planning a Nov. 5 benefit to help the

family pay funeral expenses. The pig roast and silent auction is set for 2 p.m. at the Eagles club on High Street. There is no admission charge, although patrons can make donations if they choose, said resident Teri Nelson, who is helping organize the event. “The family has no insurance to pay for a funeral,” Nelson said. “We’re just asking the commuity to come together for this family.” A memorial service for Ryder will preceed the benefit at 1 p.m. at the Eagles. Ryder, a former authomotive supply quality control inspector, was a musician who last played with a All Seats

Sue and Ed Kaiser display some of the ingredients of the Harvest Dinner which will take place Saturday, Nov. 12, from 4-7 p.m. at Williamston United Methodist Church. COURTESY PHOTO

Local Michigan apples are cooked, pumpkins are waiting to be made into pies and you can almost smell the turkeys roasting. The annual Harvest Dinner at the Williamston United Methodist Church is just around the corner. Mark your calendar for Saturday, Nov. 12, from 4-7 p.m. A pumpkin decorated as a turkey is the mascot for the dinner. Free “Will” represents this dinner because two years ago the church began collecting free will donations instead of setting an established price. Printing, selling and organizing ticket sales was

becoming a hassle and the church members wondered what would happen if the tickets were replaced with donations. The generosity of the community has allowed this dinner to be affordable to all. This is a traditional dinner with all the trimmings: real roasted turkey, dressing, fat-free gravy, sweet potatoes, corn, dinner rolls and beverage. Of course there also will be special favorites, homemade applesauce, turkey noodle soup and pies. All are invited to enjoy this bountiful, delicious meal. Carryout meals are available.

Contact Julie Jacokes at (517) 655-2430 for information or advance tickets. She is available at the Williamston United Methodist Church Office, Monday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday from 9 a.m. to noon.

To assure there will be plenty of food for everyone, it is helpful if donations are made in advance and your seats are reserved. — From De Ann Porter, Williamston United Methodist Church

Here’s a look at the City Council candidates Sandy Bowden-Whelton • Background information and relevant experience: I moved to Williamston 38 years ago, along with my husband and two children. I became involved with the city when I joined the Red Cedar Jubilee 36 years ago. I have been a member of the Williamston Lions Club Bowdenfor many years, and I am a Whelton member of the Chamber of Commerce along with various other organizations. At one time, I worked as a secretary to the Williamston City manager and was later appointed as Deputy City Clerk. I served on the City Council in the late 1990s, recently served on the Planning Commission and also sat on the Northeast Ingham Emergency Services Authority board. • Why did you decide to run for City Council? Over the years, I’ve been asked by several people to run for City Council again, but I’ve declined because of family obligations. I’ve decided to run this time because the community has given me so much, and I’ve decided it was my turn to try to do my best to give back. This is a wonderful community, and I want to make sure the city has the best interests of everyone in mind when decisions are made. • What are your thoughts on the current state of the city? The city has seen a lot of changes. A lot of them very good, some I didn’t necessarily agree with. I know the city faces many challenges, and I hope I can make a positive contribution to the decision-making process. • What do you see as the biggest challenges facing Williamston? I believe, right now, our biggest challenge will be adjusting to a new City Manager and seeing what he or she has in mind for the city. • If elected, what issues would you most like to address? I would like to see the residents exposed to more information and business that occurs during the city’s regular meetings. While having the minutes posted online is a good way to reach out, I feel there are other ways for the city to make sure the residents are informed. Some ideas would be a synopsis in the paper of the Council agenda twice a month or regular press releases to get information out and to help address and head off any rumors about what is occurring in the city.

I am originally Brookhouse from Stockbridge. I have a degree in psychology/ child development from LCC. I own Tina Brookhouse Fitness Studio in Williamston, and teach fitness and am a certified personal trainer. I serve on the Williamston Area Chamber Of Commerce Board of Directors. I have no government experience at all, but do have personal business experience. • Why did you decide to run for City Council? What are your thoughts on the current state of the city? I decided to run for City Council after going to a few meetings. I think I can offer much to the council by way of common sense, civility and accountability. As a business owner, I was discouraged by some of the regulations/ standards that needed to be met to try to do business here, and found that my personal experience in these dealings called me to run. I hope to have a vote to bring more common sense to city regulations especially in this current economy. I was also discouraged by the lack of civility between council members and the mayor. I was frankly appalled by some of the conduct. I don’t like Williamston to be viewed in this light. • What do you see as the biggest challenges facing Williamston? I think the biggest challenges for Williamston are again, bringing business into the city, making it hospitable for them. Transparency between council members, the mayor and the city employees. Also, fiscal accountability and transparency to the taxpayers of Williamston. I realize making decisions with several members of opposing opinions is never easy, but I will do my best to be fair and responsible first and foremost to the taxpayers, residents and a strong proponent of business in our special city. I believe my clients can attest to my character, honesty, and drive.

Humane Society, Baptist Children’s Home I am married to Bruce Brookhouse and (Valpo, IN), and First Baptist Church-

Okemos. I have served on Williamston’s EDC, Planning Commission, and City Council. One of my favorite contributions is to have worked with former council person and mayor, Jim DeForest, on the City’s current ethics document as adopted. •Why did you decide to run for City Council? I want to run for City Council simply because I now have the time to commit quality thought and participation. I have recently had two board tenures which have ended, which allow me the opportunity to do something else of tremendous value. Now, combine that with my love of our community and that works. • What are your thoughts on the current state of the city? Financially, in print, the City financials look pretty healthy. However, the last several years have seen the City depleting their general fund reserves which is a trend that should be of great concern. And, that concern does not look to be solved in the near term. It seems the City is making progress on meeting Michigan’s EVIP requirements, allowing more State revenue to come to Williamston. But the obvious concerns are the declining property values/ taxes, and Act 51 monies. The other side of the current state is I believe “we” need to work on people issues where council and staff are all working fluidly together. I think we can all agree the reputation of Williamston has suffered during the last several years. This is terrible for community and business development and harmony. • What do you see as the biggest challenges facing Williamston? The biggest challenge facing the city at the moment is replacing the position of city manager. To replace both the skill set and people skills of the current manager will be extremely difficult. In that light, we have to work on how best to develop tenure and good working relationships between the city’s boards and her civic organizations to encourage the future city manager to make Williamston not a way station but home long term. We have not been successful in developing tenure for many, many years. If we find the right city manager, many things will fall into place. And, speaking of relationships, we have to form (continue with some) a wonderful, healthy working relationship with the townships; all of us rowing together. • If elected, which issues would you most like to address? My major issues/ concerns right now are staff related. We need at least one more person at the sewer plant and one more person for the Department of Public Works. For comparable communities of our size, we are understaffed and overworked. It is also my understanding that our city staff has received no pay raises in

3 or 4 years. Along similar lines, the State’s EVIP program encourages the City to be less attractive in their employees’ retirements. Health insurance, I am guessing, is next. So, with our most precious commodity, our staff, we are eroding both their current and future financial security. And I would like to nail down decisions regarding the physical placement of our major services: Police, DPW and City Staff. I am talking about the Community Center issue.

Michael Moody • Background information and relevant experience: I have served on the Williamston City Council since 2008. Before my time on the City Council, I served on the Williamston Zoning Moody Board of Appeals from 2004 to 2008 and was elected chair of the board in 2007. I have been an assistant attorney general with the Michigan Department of Attorney General since 1995. In addition, I was recently appointed by the Governor to be the State Public Administrator. I am a husband and father of three children, ages 13, 12, and 9. My family and I attend the Williamston Free Methodist Church. • Why did you decide to run for City Council? I have always enjoyed working in government and I wanted to use my experience to serve the city and its residents. I believe it is important for everyone to commit to making their community a better place. • What are your thoughts on the current state of the city? I believe the City is fiscally strong, as our current city manager has done an excellent job of bringing over a million dollars in grant money to the city, thereby saving taxpayer money. I think the city has engaged in some much needed improvements such a new cooperation with Red Cedar Recreation, the remodeling of McCormick Park and the new water treatment plant. However, I believe improvements can still be made, and I want to work with residents and businesses to address their ideas and concerns. • What do you see as the biggest challenges facing Williamston? Although the city is currently fiscally strong, the continued reduction in state revenue sharing and depressed property values will be challenges the City Council will have to face. Another big challenge facing the city is finding a new city manager who will be able to continue the improvements and innovation our retiring manager has brought to the city. See CANDIDATES, Page “

Scott Van Allsburg •Background information and relevant experience: I have 8 years of City Council experience. I am a member of the Planning Commission, cemetery committee and Williamston Theatre board. I am a 23-year Van Allsburg resident of Williamston. I have two sons who graduated from Williamston Schools and are now off to Kendall Art School in Grand Rapids. I am an ambitious supporter of arts and events in Williamston. My wife, Kate, has taught music in Williamston for 18 years and currently has 61 students. • Why did you decide to run for City Council? I believe its important for people of varying points of view, whose main objective is to create a great small town, to serve. I believe it’s very important to have someone with substantial experience and integrity to be on this next council over the next four years. City government is a fascinating process that I enjoy being part of. • What are your thoughts on the state of the city? The city, with Tim Allard and staff, has done an excellent job of moving many significant projects forward with help from grants and low interest loans. The city has procured over a million dollars in grants over the last year or so. The city has done a very good job remaining vibrant in a number of ways despite the economic situation. The goal of maintaining between $700,000 and $800,000 in the general fund balance has been met, but this still represents a decrease from the past 8 years and is a significant issue for the next council. • What do you see as the biggest challenges facing Williamston? We need to build a library. We need to decide what we want to do with the Community Center. We need careful infrastructure project selection. We need a master city building plan. City government needs to team up with the business community and address the business environment as a whole, including the too many empty buildings. We need to heartily avoid throwing up our hands and saying things are so bad we just can’t do anything. We need to cross our fingers and hope Police Chief Bob Young and City Engineer Scott Devries stay with us as we choose a new city manager. A river walk would be nice. We need to address Memorial Park – the old swimming pool and tennis courts. • If elected, which issues would you most like to address? All the items listed in the previous answer need to be addressed.

My family has been fortunate to live in our great community. It is important to give back. I have a depth of business experience, community service and love of this community. I will uphold accountability, common sense and teamwork on our city council. It’s a tough economy, and it is important to always remember government serves the taxpayers. • What are your thoughts on the current state of the city? The city has come a long way over the last five years. Our direction is focused on our residents and economic development, providing a quality of life for our residents. The financial standing of the city continues to be strong. There has been job creation and infrastructure opportunities over the last four years that are important in maintaining a healthy budget and quality of life component for our taxpayers. Unfortunately, there are members of the current council who do not follow the rules of procedure and personally attack members of the community and other council members when they disagree. This is unacceptable. I promise to uphold integrity and accountability for our community. • What do you see as the biggest challenges facing Williamston? Declining property values, increased water/ sewer bills and diversifying the tax base to bring tax relief to our residents. It is also important to respect the opinions of others and work together for the good of our entire community. • If elected what issues would you most like to address?

Juniors rebuild Hornet soccer program Kelsey Pence kpence@lsj.com

When Williamston junior Zach Sundin moved up to varsity this fall, he knew he had big shoes to fill. Nearly three months later, the junior class as a whole, has made its mark on the Hornet soccer program, grabbing the district title with a 2-1 victory over Lansing Catholic on Oct. 21. The district championship is only the third in program history. “To me, it really feels amazing to be able to come up for my first year on varsity and really help the program,” Sundin said. “It was really rewarding. I felt like that really summed up how hard we worked this season to get to that point.” Sundin maintained his scoring capabilities as a varsity starter, and leads

the Hornets with 16 goals, as of Oct. 21. But he’s not the only junior that’s been a force for the Hornets. Along with a goal from Sundin, juniors Ross Needler and Phil Erickson each scored a goal in Williamston’s 3-0 district semifinal victory over Perry. Needler also added an assist. When this paper went to press, Erickson had five goals and two assists on the season and Needler had nine goals and six assists. Junior Alex Rogers has also added three goals and two assists this season. Seniors Connor Pace and Matt Sovis have also been

equal threats on the field. Sovis has scored eight goals and 10 assists and Pace has scored nine and assisted six. While Williamston’s success has surprised many around the area, who assumed the Hornets would be rebuilding after losing 12 seniors last year, Sundin said he expected his class to have a big impact. The majority of the junior class, including Erickson, Needler, Sundin and standout goalkeeper, Charlie Coon, have been playing together since the second grade and have racked up a fair share of accomplishments along the way through the United

The Williamston girls cross country team won the third CAAC White Jamboree on Oct. 22, claiming the outright league title. The Hornets finished with 45 points in the final meet. Senior Hannah Grischke finished second place with a time of 20:12.1. Teammate, Erica Halm, was right behind her in third place with a time of 20.32.6. “The goal was to get two out of three,” Grischke said. “As we went into the third one we were like ‘Why not win the third one too?’” Grischke, Halm, Raelynn Rasegan,

Katie Bollman, Angela Maurer and Danielle Hebert were named all-league. “Cross-country isn’t just a team,” Grischke said. “When the season starts, we form a mini family.” Grischke has made it to the state meet three years in a row and is hoping to break Williamston’s school record as a senior. Grischke’s school record is 18:28 and her personal best is 18:37, which she accomplished at last year’s state meet. “My name is hanging second on the record board,” she said. “I see that and I want to take it one step further and break the record. That’s my goal this year.”

Council candidate comments on council As a citizen of Williamston you are entitled to know what’s going on at City Hall, and by what thought process your elected officials are making their decisions. Since I’m seeking my third term as City Council member, here are some comments: We experienced recently some difficult meetings

in the first place. I have always served with integrity and that’s not going to change. I have high hopes for this town and two critical ones are these: First I hope the new city manager and mayor can create a bond of respect, trust and goodwill; this will permeate through the council, boards, etc. Differences of opinion should not shake relationship bonds. Second, whoever the mayor is needs to make a strong attempt to unite this town and fill boards and commissions that have openings. It’s truly and honor to be in service with the city staff in Williamston. This is a very good group of employees across the board. They deserve our congratulations for the job they do every day. I’ve seen the resumes of folks hoping to be our next city manager and there is no doubt we are going to get another good one. Williamston is a great place to be and I’m looking forward to four more years of service. Scott Van Allsburg, City Council Candidate
