You deservea rapid recoveryfrom your hysterectomy.

A robotic-assisted hysterectomy offers mostwomen numerous potential benefits overtraditional approaches to hysterectomies,particularly with more complex procedures likeradical hysterectomy for gynecological cancer.

Women undergoing robotic-assisted surgerytypically experience:

• Significantly less pain and fewer complications

• Less blood loss and a decreased risk ofinfection

• Less scarring

• A shorter hospital stay (as short as a singleday for total hysterectomies) anddramatically-decreased recovery time

• A quicker return to normal daily activities

Sparrow is mid-Michigan’s leader inrobotic-assisted surgery.

The experience and expertise of our highly-dedicated team has made Sparrow mid-Michigan’s leader in robotic-assisted surgerywith more intensively-trained surgeons thanany other hospital in the region.

CHARLOTTE — Just a little over twomonths following the September ground-breaking for its new AL!VE health park,Hayes Green Beach (HGB) Memorial Hos-pital’s construction progress is in fullswing.

What was once the Felpausch grocerystore and CVS Pharmacy at 800 W. Law-rence Ave. in Charlotte will eventually bean 80,000-square-foot facility centered oncommunity health and well-being.

“This is a tremendously exciting timefor the hospital and the community,”states Patrick Sustrich, MS, director ofhealth and wellness services at HGB, whowill also help oversee AL!VE’s construc-tion and operations.

“To see an old building and the landsurrounding it transform into somethingthat will be so new and vital to the com-munity, is such an amazing experience.”

Some of the construction work thathas already been completed includes finegrading of new driveways, the installa-tion of footings in the existing and ex-panded areas of the building, additionalsteel reinforcements to the existing struc-ture, and the installation of storm sewerpiping.

Additional footing and concrete curbinstallations, along with foundation blockwork to the additions of the building,have also been completed.

“The site is changing daily,” states Ran-dy Owens, director of facilities at HGB.“Work has already begun on several otherareas of construction including the erec-tion of the structural steel framing for thenew additions to the building, along withthe installation of ductwork and under-

ground plumbing.”This first construction phase, resulting

in more than 42,000 square feet, is esti-mated to be completed by fall 2011.

Centered on enhancing community vi-tality in the region, AL!VE is an $18 mil-lion initiative dedicated to offering anintegrated set of health and wellness re-sources to the Charlotte and greater Lan-sing communities.

It will include a wellness/fitness cen-ter, physical rehabilitation services, wom-en’s health options, integrative medicine,walking trails, community rooms, a dem-onstration kitchen and much more, all inan effort to provide the community withthe tools it needs to improve its overallhealth.

With funding totaling $10 million al-ready allocated to the project throughHGB’s refinancing efforts with the U.S.Department of Housing and Urban Devel-opment, further support is also needed.

Currently, additional funding is beingraised through grants, corporate and indi-vidual donations.

A public capital campaign is being con-sidered for next year and the communi-ty’s support will play a vital role in the fullcompletion of the project, estimated to bein fall 2012.

For those wanting a more up-close-and-personal look at AL!VE and what thefuture facility will offer the Charlotte andgreater Lansing communities, HGB is giv-ing free public presentations at the 800 W.Lawrence location.

Sessions will be offered through theend of the year and are as follows:

• Thursday, Dec. 16 from 5:30 to 6:30

p.m.• Friday, Dec. 17 from 2 to 3 p.m.For additional updates and informa-

Construction underway at AL!VE building

One million tears I have criedSince the day you died.That one dark night,

When your soul took flightto soar in the Heavens above.

Just know that all memories of youare remembered with love.

I shall never again hear your voiceor see that winning smile.But if somehow I could

There wouldn’t be too long a mileto run to you.

There wouldn’t be anythingI couldn’t do or face

if I knew that you would beat the end of the race.

say about medical staff andJohnston himself, the retiredteacher gives her a lot ofcredit as well.

Johnston calls Lori a“force of nature,” and he saysthe rest of Landon’s familyis equally supportive of theteen. “I can’t stress enoughthe contributions that hisfamily makes,” he added.

“In his case, there are nonegatives. He has a greatfamily and great doctors.”

Looking aheadLandon himself remem-

bers very little about the ac-cident. “Sometimes I have13-second flashbacks,” hesaid. For the most part hefeels lucky and is lookingahead.

So is Lori. She thinks hecould make a full recovery.

“You look at him and youcan’t see what happened,”she explained. “He walks

fine, he can carry on a con-versation.”

And they are both nowadvocates for Sparrow andhospitals that are part of theChildren’s Miracle Network.

For his part, Landon hasappeared on billboards,been featured on telethons,visited the White House andDisney World. He’s met Pres-ident Barack Obama and

Miss America.For her part, Lori is no

longer an insurance agent.She now works as a para-professional in special ed-ucation who is committedto singing the praises ofSparrow and its doctors andnurses.

“Who’s going to knowbetter the good that Spar-row has done?” she said.

Whitaker: Teen is ‘Champion’ for network

CHARLOTTE - The city’sDepartment of Public Worksis prepared to spend up-wards of $107,500 this win-ter to keep roadways andparking lots clear.

The budgeted amount isactually less than city staff

budgeted last winter, ac-cording to Amy Schoonover,Charlotte’s DPW Director.

“I base it on trends,” saidSchoonover, of the snow re-moval budget. “I go back tothe mid-90’s and look at thenumbers.”

Last year Schoonover’sestimations were actuallyhigh. After budgeting a total

of $118,000 for winter plow-ing, the city spent less at$106,726.

“One year it will go oneway and the next it will goanother way,” she said.

The bulk of the cost isrelated to labor and equip-ment. Schoonover said theDPW’s eight staff memberswho help with plowing of-

ten began clearing at 1 or 2a.m. during a storm.

“These guys are usuallyworking in the middle of thenight during the plowing,”she explained.

Staff then often continueworking through the nextday, as well.

In total, the city’s DPWstaff is responsible for 37.82miles of roadway clear dur-ing the winter.

To do it staff uses bothsalt, when the temperature isabove 19 degrees, and sand,

when it is colder than that.Schoonover said when lessthan three inches of snowfalls plowing isn’t done.

In addition, DPW staff gethelp from the Charlotte Po-lice Department.

Officers will report icyroadways and intersectionsvia dispatch.

DPW staff assign priorityto city parking lots.

Those are cleared first,followed by “major streets”such as Sheldon and then“local streets” are cleared.

Those who reside or ownproperty in the “snow re-moval” district of the city —which includes property onLawrence Avenue betweenBostwick Street and Pleas-ant Street and Lansing Roadbetween Pleasant Street andTulley Brown Drive — arerequired to keep those walksclear within 24 hours of asnowfall.

County brief

Volunteers needed at EC Meals on WheelsVolunteers are needed at Eaton County Meals on Wheels to deliver meals to local homebound elderly citizens in

Eaton County. Approximately one hour is required to complete deliveries. Volunteers must be 18 years of age, have acar and valid driver’s license, or partner with someone who has these requirements. Volunteers are also needed in thekitchen, in Charlotte to help pack meals, for about two hours once a month. For more information, call Keri Jo Papranecat (517) 541-2330.

CHARLOTTE — Every year, anumber of recycling events are orga-nized by the Eaton County Depart-ment of Resource Recovery.

At the end of the year, data fromthose events is recorded and ana-lyzed to determine effectiveness andefficiency. And even though the bud-get may be less than the previousyear, results are still successful.

The number of participants whoutilized the three Household Haz-ardous Waste and Electronics Recy-cling events in 2010 nearly doubledto 600.

Residents who participatedbrought more than 65,000 poundsof electronics and household haz-ardous waste to be recycled or tobe properly disposed, breaking lastyear’s record by 20,000 pounds.

Two Book Recycling & DocumentShredding events also showed tre-mendous growth. Last year, over10,000 pounds of paper and bookswere recycled, this year that weightnearly tripled to more than 26,000pounds. The last record yearbrought in just 13,000 pounds.

In addition to these events,other opportunities to recycle expe-rienced a similar level of success tolast year:

• 42,000 pounds of tires recov-ered and recycled

• 7,300 pounds of Freon-contain-ing appliances recycled

• 20,000 of household batteriesrecycled

• Four truckloads of rain barrelsand compost bins sold regionally

Many thanks to the many com-munities, businesses and agenciesthat helped to make these eventspossible.

Through a grant with Delta Char-ter Township and the City of EastLansing, the Eaton County Depart-ment of Resource Recovery helpedto provide educational informationon the proper use and disposal ofCompact Fluorescent Light (CFL)bulbs and expand CFL recycling ef-forts in the greater Lansing area.

Nearly 75,000 CFLs have beengiven out to local residents. To thecountless local government officeswho assisted with this effort, thankyou so very much for your help.

In February, the department wasawarded a grant to both improveenergy efficiency within the CountyGovernmental Complex and to helpresidents become more aware ofeasy, inexpensive measures to in-crease energy efficiency in theirhomes. While the energy efficiencyproject is ongoing, more than 3,300children have participated in fun en-ergy education activities this year.

The Department of ResourceRecovery, the Eaton County Sub-stance Abuse Advisory Council andthe General Federation of Women’sClubs joined forces once again toeducate residents on the importanceof proper storage and disposal ofmedications.

Thanks to the dedication of thisgroup of people, informational bro-chures and posters were distributedthroughout Charlotte to doctor’soffices, pharmacies, schools, andmany more locations.

As a result, pharmaceuticalswere recovered in the amount of 722pounds overshadowing last year’ssuccess by 80%. This effort con-tinues to gain momentum. Watchfor special Medication Take-Backevents to take place this year and inthe Spring of 2011.

The Eaton County Departmentof Resource Recovery strives to of-fer quality programs that are costeffective and easy to access forresidents. There are many more op-portunities to recycle than mostpeople are aware.

To learn of them, contact the Ea-ton County Department of ResourceRecovery and talk to Lisa Lafferty at(517) 543-3686.

DETROIT — Blue Cross Blue Shieldof Michigan is pleased to acknowledgeMichigan rural hospitals for their successin achieving exceptional performanceand high scores related to emergencyroom transfers and clinical quality mea-sures awarded through the MichiganCritical Access Hospital Quality Network(MICAH).

This recognition is made possiblethrough MICAH as part of a quality initia-tive program to improve hospital perfor-mance and enhance superior care givento each hospital’s patients.

The following local hospitals wereamong those honored: Eaton RapidsMedical Center in Eaton Rapids andHayes Green Beach Memorial Hospital inCharlotte.

“Michigan’s rural hospitals were pro-active in establishing measurable qualityinitiatives,” said Sue Barkell, BCBSM se-nior vice president of health care value.“Their high marks in emergency roomtransfers demonstrate their commitmentto patient safety.”

As part of the quality initiativeprocess, each Critical Access Hospital(CAH) is required to perform a culturalevaluation of patient safety and partakein either one or both of the followingprograms: the MHA Keystone Center forPatient Safety and Quality Initiatives andthe Michigan Critical Access HospitalsQuality Network.

Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan es-tablished a Pay-for-Performance programwith the aim of rewarding hospitals thatprovide high-quality health care serviceswithin their community.

The program is being phased in overseveral years and rewards hospitals thatprovide high-quality health care serviceswithin their community.

Once it is fully implemented, theprogram will determine six percentage

points of reimbursement for small, ruralhospitals.

“The Pay-for-Performance programenables rural hospitals to maintain andimprove quality health care for thou-sands of Michigan residents each year,”said Ed Gamache, Chief Executive Of-ficer of Deckerville Community Hospitaland Harbor Beach Community Hospital.

Since 2001, quality leaders from eachof the approved Michigan Critical AccessHospital facilities have been meeting todevelop processes to evaluate currentlevels of performance, provide perfor-mance improvement education and soft-ware applications, and test the use ofsuch systems in a statewide network ofactivities.

These efforts have been supportedthrough Michigan Medicare Rural Hospi-tal Flexibility Program (Flex) grant fund-ing administered by the Michigan Centerfor Rural Health (MCRH), and the gener-ous in-kind support of all the CAH facili-ties.

The MHA Keystone Center for PatientSafety & Quality was created by Michi-gan hospitals in March 2003 and bringstogether hospitals, state and national pa-tient safety experts, and evidence-basedbest practices to improve patient safetyand reduce costs by enhancing the qual-ity of care delivered.

The MHA Keystone Center is uniquein its ability to bring large numbers ofhospitals together in a single improve-ment initiative, allowing unprecedentedcollaboration and expedited results.

Since MHA Keystone’s inception,Michigan hospitals that have partneredwith the center have achieved signifi-cant, measurable patient safety improve-ments - saving lives and reducing healthcare costs.

Often I hear the com-ment that Christmas seemsto come earlier and earliereach year, along with theopinion that Christmas istoo “commercialized.”

However, in readingthrough the Charlotte Re-publican Tribune, (a large,weekly paper for EatonCounty) Nov. 10, 1950, Ifound the jovial face of San-ta Claus everywhere.

He presented in a Searsad, an “efficient 12-speedmixer with a 130 watt mo-tor, with juicer, 2 bowls andrecipe book” for 29.50. TheSears catalog store was at230 S. Cochran, phone num-ber 1670.

Another nicely drawnSanta promoted the 1950Sears Christmas Book.Packard’s Furniture urgedeveryone to “give furniture”for Christmas. In a laterpublication, MontgomeryWard Catalog Office (109 S.Cochran) advertised a ViewMaster Stereoscope for $3,and a Playmate Doll withSaran wig for $7.45. Manyother toys were featured,but the most unique wasRudolph’s Own AC-DC Ra-dio for $15.95. Rudolph’snose lit up when the radiowas on.

Gamble’s Hardwarepromised “Sure savings andsatisfaction” with lots oftoys for good girls andboys, such as a $2.98 doll’shigh chair and a $4.79 toygas station.

The repeater guns for“safe indoor shooting” ofsix table tennis balls would

appeal to any boy, and San-ta could get it for $4.25.Animal face “fuzzy-wuzzy”slippers were part of a largead for shoes and slippersat Shepard’s Shoes, 114 S.Main St.

Every little girl wanted aToni doll and Santa couldpurchase her for a goodprice of $9.49. Electricbaseball games went for$5.49, and seemingly theprice of turkey hasn’tchanged, as at Kroger’s theywere on sale for 53 centsa pound. Fowler’s Car deal-ership advertised a G.E.“Black Daylight T.V. for only$199.95.

On the subject of thatTV, Mrs. Franklin D. Roos-evelt recommended TV asa “magnificent opportunityto increase the education”of children, but with the ca-veat that she also believedthat it was the “parent’sduty to provide books aswell as TV” in the home andsupervise their reading hab-its.

These were some ofthe programs showing atChristmastime in 1950: Sun-day nights were dominatedby Toast of the Town,(Ed Sullivan) at 8 p.m.and Arthur Murray Party(dance) at 9 p.m. ArthurGodfrey’s Talent Scouts,College Bowl, Wrestling,

and, for the kids, “Kukla,Fran and Ollie” were onMonday. The Dumont Net-work featured on Tuesdays,Captain Video and Cav-alcade of Bands. NBC’sWednesday line-up includedKraft Television Theatre,while on CBS, Arthur God-frey had yet another pro-gram with his “Friends.”Roller derby, boxing, andGillette Cavalcade of Sportswere important parts of theFridays and Saturdays thatyear.

If you’d rather see amovie, the Eaton Theatrewas showing “Tea for Two”with Doris Day or youcould see “Broken Arrow”with Jimmy Stewart.

Santa Claus arrived atthe airport by airplane dur-ing a snowstorm. He senta radiogram to tell kids hewould be in town on Dec.2, and would have a gift foreach visitor.

Churches were advertis-ing their Christmas pag-eants, and the schools wereswinging into high gear tohonor the holiday.

At Froeble School, MissJulia Hamblin’s secondgrade made a poster show-ing the shepherds followingthe bright star and con-structed Christmas bells“trying to bring the realChristmas story along withthe Santa Claus idea.”

All classes were makingsecret Christmas presentsfor their parents. Only onestudent was absent with themumps. At Roosevelt-Lin-coln School, students were

Taking a look at Christmas seasons pastbringing Christmas recordsto play and one class hadmade a pet of a mouse. Mrs.Faye Berry made a “beauti-ful Nativity scene and oneof Santa and his reindeerfor the walls of the class-room.”

Her first grade had madethe same thing by coloringfigures and cutting themout for a “Christmas scene.”Other students made chainsand snowflakes for the win-dows.

Hawthorne School hadthe “Christmas spirit” butmany students were suf-fering with colds. Childrenwere making decorationsout of clamshells and oys-ters, given to them by a ladyfrom Portland, Ore. Mrs.Dorma Brown’s kindergar-ten made a manger scene ina corner. Chuckie Kiplingerbrought in the hay andCarol Ann Walker brought

in the doll in swaddlingclothes. Carolers were inthe window and Santaguarded the birthdayChristmas tree.

The Glee Club at Char-lotte High School presenteda Christmas concert in theauditorium: “‘Twas thenight before Christmas.”People left the school witha “warm feeling of Christ-mas spirit in their hearts.”

The assembly on Dec. 20entertained students withsongs sung in Latin, a read-ing of the Christmas Biblestory, and the theme wasthinking of others, not your-self. Even Principal JohnB. Smith’s office was dec-orated. A guardian angeladorned the large front win-dow of the high school.

“Merchants report Tre-mendous Christmas Busi-ness” was the headline inthe paper Dec. 22, 1950.

Walter Parker of 715 S.Main won first prize (partof a 50 dollar reward) forhis decorations. The prizewas to be delivered Christ-mas Eve on the fire trucks,along with two other win-ners.

Happily, the Dec. 27headline read “No HighwayFatalities in County duringHoliday.” Roads were keptin “excellent condition.”Temperatures were aroundzero, with a heavy snowfall.

The most “beautiful”tree in the county was aman’s tree on W. Lawrence.His neighbors helped himdecorate the tree.

Let’s all do those littlethings for one another thisChristmas and have a merryone.

Letters to the editor

Walberg has losttouch

Congratulations Tim Wal-berg, you played a greatgame of dodge ball with theQ&A session in CharlotteWednesday evening prior tothe election.

You avoided giving directanswers to issues that wereextremely important to a lotof us.

You sidestepped and triedto avoid answering peopleon where you stood on jobs,involvement in Iraq, Afghan-istan and very importantlylobbying by special interestgroups. (The lobbying issue

was, as you put it, is a“Schauer “ trick to avoid thereal issues.)

You spoke of disdain for“Obama care,” claiming thecost and bureaucracy thatwas inside the bill was ex-cessive.

Your answer was to havecitizens establish their ownsavings accounts to pay forhealth care.

(The part about jobs musthave really been over yourhead.)

Removing young peoplefrom contributing to the So-cial Security System, in or-der to privatize it, isn’t goingto work.

Without people paying

into the system it will def-initely fail. That’s not a“Ponzi” scheme; it is youngworkers replacing olderworkers that have retired,unless you’re against retire-ment as well? Of course, weneed jobs for that to work.

You said trade with Chi-na was good for the US,accounted for two millionmanufacturing and technol-ogy jobs in Michigan.

With your next breath,you said China brought sixmillion jobs to Michigan.(That really is job growth.)Many of us failed hear yougive specifics as to wherein Michigan these jobs were.We would still like to know

where these jobs are.The question rose of a

“Transaction Tax” that hadbeen proposed. You re-sponded that it would costeveryone 1 percent for anytransaction at a bank, with-drawal, deposit, ATM usage,etc.

Looking on Bloomberg’sWeb site, there seems toquite a disparity in what youdescribed and what was pro-posed.

According to Bloom-berg’s, a 1 percent tax wasproposed for transactionson Wall Street (trades ofmutual funds, stocks, de-rivatives, etc.) in excess of$100,000 to curb the high

frequency speculators andgenerate revenue. If you didnot know the answer whydidn’t you just say so? I re-ally don’t think that one willaffect me. In fact it mighthelp to stabilize the market.

The people of Michiganwant decent jobs, which willafford them opportunities toraise families and not seekassistance from public pro-grams. We cannot continueto outsource jobs, idling USworkers and stagnating eco-nomic growth. You sir, havelost touch with the workingclass.

EATON CO - A new Eaton Countyprogram administered by human-servicesagency Highfields Inc. is designed to stopfamily violence and ensure that youthdon’t continue the pattern when they growup.

Youth & Family Alternatives is a home-based and group treatment program forfamilies with youth who have assaulted afamily member.

“Violence is a real concern in families

that are struggling,” says Tim Monroe,Highfields’ clinical director. “The idea ofthe program is to break the cycle of vi-olence and to teach families methods ofconflict resolution that do not create moreproblems. Violence is a learned behaviorthat is passed on across generations.”

It’s been Highfields’ experience in pro-viding domestic violence intervention for15 years that in virtually all cases, adultsarrested for these offenses were raised in

a violent household, he says.Under the Youth & Family Alternatives

program, Highfields caseworkers hold in-home counseling sessions and treatmentgroups with youth and adults over thecourse of six months.

The Family Division of the Eaton Coun-ty Circuit Court refers families to theprogram after court workers determine vi-olence is prevalent in the household.

The $62,000, one-year contract for the

program is funded through the county’sJuvenile Justice Millage. A similar pro-gram administered by Highfields in Ing-ham County has assisted about 50 familiesin recent years.

Founded in 1962, Highfields Inc. is anot-for-profit organization providing home-based counseling, residential care, experi-ential education and support programs forfamilies, youth and communities through-out mid-Michigan.

Eaton Co. program aims to end violence

CHARLOTTE — New additions to your family signala new lifestyle. We baby proof rooms, secure cords, lockcabinets, buy items we have to learn to use and add protec-tors to electric outlets.

“Many new parents don’t include window treatmentsduring the baby proofing process,” said Kirt Austin, theowner of Budget Blinds, serving Charlotte and the Lansingarea. “But, window treatments that are perfectly safe foran adult may pose a tempting hazard to infants and tod-dlers who view dangling cords as playthings and becomeentangled.”

The Window Covering Safety Council recommends thatonly cordless window products be used in homes withyoung children. Additionally, owners and renters shouldreplace all window coverings in the home made before2001 with today’s safer products.

Knowing which products offer enhanced safety is im-portant, and that’s where Budget Blinds serving Charlotte

and the Lansing area can be helpful. “By offering our Free-In-Home Consultation by calling (517-541-1676), we notonly offer convenience, but often point out potential safetyconcerns to busy parents of young children,” said Austin

“There are so many window treatments that are eithercordless by nature or can be ordered with cordless lift ormotorization to eliminate pull cords,” said Austin.

“In fact, there are some products that have no cords orthe cords are inaccessible under normal use.”

Austin said that Budget Blinds of Charlotte and the Lan-sing area will gladly demonstrate these cordless windowtreatments to new parents and caregivers so they can makean informed decision for their home and family.

Certain styles of window coverings, like shutters, drap-eries and motorized roller shades have no internal cordswhatsoever.

The internal cords of cordless cellular shades, particu-larly those with smaller cells, are inaccessible to tiny fin-

gers.“While nothing can replace the careful, watchful eye of

a loving parent or guardian, there are things you can do tominimize hazards and enhance safety in your home,” saidAustin.

In addition to choosing cordless window treatments,new parents want to pay attention to where they place fur-niture in the room.

The Window Covering Safety Council recommends mov-ing cribs and furniture away from window areas so thatchildren aren’t tempted to play with window treatments.

If you are in a living situation where you cannot installcordless window treatments, be sure to secure operationcords out of reach with cord tensioners and cord cleats.

Additional safety tips can be found atwww.budgetblinds.com/safety andwww.windowcoverings.org.

Johanna Long became only the second female winner of the SnowballDerby in the event's 43-year history, holding off Landon Cassill forthe title. Long, 18,who just finished her rookie season on theNASCARCamping World Truck Series, is the second female winner of therace. Tammy Jo Kirk was the first following her historic victory in1994. The Snowball Derby is a 300-lap super late model stock carrace held annually at the half-mile Five Flags Speedway inPensacola,Florida. The race has a reputation for attracting some of the biggernames because it is run after most tracks have concluded theirseasons and drawing an occasional NASCAR star. Two NASCARSprint Cup drivers in the race were both wiped out in the samewreck. David Ragan and David Stremme were part of a seven-car

pileup on Lap 179 as they headed into the firstturn. Stremme's team was able to repair hiscar enough for him to finish 13th in the race,completing 315 of the 328 laps. Ragan’s daywas over after he slammed hard into the wall inthe melee. He emerged from the wreck withoutassistance.

Dec. 6, 1933 -BlackieWatt wasbornon thisday.Watt, a standoutin Western Pennsylvania withhundreds of wins in Late Modeland Modified feature races,started24 races in theCupseries,20 in 1966 and four in ‘67. Hefinished hisNASCARcareer withnine top 10s, all in ‘66.

During the2006season,whowasthe oldest driver to compete in aNASCARCupSeries race?

a) Mark Martin c) Terry Labonteb) Morgan Shepherd d) Bill Elliott

Answer: b) Morgan Shepherd. He turned65 in October 2006. He raced in the fallRichmond and London race.

Biography:David Ragan made his Nationwide Series debutin 2004 for Sadler Bros. Racing, achievinga thirty-first place finish at the Ford 300. OnOctober 11, 2006, Roush Racing named Raganas the full time driver for 2007 in the #6 AAAFord Fusion, replacing longtime driver MarkMartin. Ragan attempted to run the remainderof the 2006 schedule under the #60 No FearRacing banner, but did not qualify for any races.During the closing part of the season, Raganwas restricted from running 1.5 mile ovals dueto a poor performance atMartinsville Speedwaywhere he was involved in several incidentsand drew the ire of several of his fellow Cupcompetitors. He then had to earn a license torun the full schedule in 2007. Ragan’s first startin the famed #6 car was the 2007 Daytona 500,where he finished 5th. In 2008, Ragan had 14top tens and finished thirteenth in the pointsstandings. In 2009, Ragan was expected tomake the Chase, but struggled throughout theseason and finished a dismal 27th in points. Lastyear, Ragan had only three top tens and finished24th in points.

OLIVET — Olivet Collegemen’s soccer players Matt Garza(Saline) and Mike May (Mason)have been selected to the 2010National Soccer Coaches Asso-ciation of America/PerformanceSubaru All-Central Region teams.Garza is a second-team selection,while May is a third-team selec-tion.

The All-Central region teamsare selected from schools in theCollege Conference of Illinois andWisconsin, Michigan Intercolle-giate Athletic Association (MIAA),Northern Athletics Conference,St. Louis Intercollegiate AthleticConference and three indepen-dent central region teams.

Garza started 19 of 20 gamesin the midfield for Olivet. He wassecond on the team with 14 points(five goals and four assists), whilethree of the goals were game-win-ners.

Despite missing seven gamesdue to an injury, May led the Com-ets with 18 points (seven goalsand four assists).

He was the leading scorer ineach of his four seasons in the redand white, and finished as the ca-reer leader in points (84) and as-sists (22).

Prior to last season, Olivet nev-er had a player earn All-Regionhonors. With these two selections,the Comets now have four All-Re-gion players, including May as atwo-time honoree.

“This is a tremendous honorfor each individual and our entireteam,” said Olivet Head CoachChad Wiseman.

“The success our team hadover the course of the season hasmuch to do with the individualhonors. This is yet another exam-ple of the Olivet College men’s soc-cer program moving in the rightdirection. My staff and I are ex-tremely proud of the men we havehere at Olivet.”

The Comets finished the 2010season with a 12-7-1 overall re-cord and were fourth in the MIAAwith a 7-6-1 record. During theseason, Olivet beat Hope College,3-2, and tied Calvin College, 0-0.Calvin and Hope shared the MIAAchampionship, and both gameswere played on their home field.Furthermore, it was Hope’s onlyloss at home for the entire 2010season.

Two arenamedto NSCA CHARLOTTE -- The 2010-2011

varsity winter sports season gotoff to a satisfying start when Char-lotte defeated Lansing Eastern52-42 in the girls’ basketball sea-son opener on Nov. 29.

Raychel Wolever led all scor-ers with 21 points, and also hadeight assists and five steals for theOrioles to give new head coachLisa Hoyt a win in her first gamein charge of the varsity program.

Hoyt said that her team fol-lowed instructions very well.

“They did what I told them todo, they got after the ball,” shesaid.

“I felt that they got after it, theywere executing and doing what Iasked them to do.”

And they didn’t wait, jumpingout to an 8-0 lead and never trail-ing in the contest. Caitlyn South-ern scored six of those first eight

points, from virtually the samespot on the floor, just inside thethree-point arc in the right corner,to help Charlotte post a 15-5 leadat the end of the first quarter.

The aggressive Oriole defenseclearly rattled the Quakersthroughout the game, but at aprice; Charlotte found itself insome foul trouble, sending East-ern into the bonus just three min-utes into the second quarter.

Hoyt said that she would makethat a point of emphasis going for-ward.

“We’re going to have to workon how we can stop the ball with-out reaching in,” she said, “usingour feet and cutting them off anddoing all that.”

The Quakers used the result-ing free throws to start to climbback into the game in the second,going on a 7-2 run in which fiveof the points were free throws,but Whitney Royston stopped thebleeding with a three-pointer and

then a fast-break bucket to givethe Orioles their biggest lead ofthe game to that point, 26-14 with2:10 left in the first half.

Eastern cut the lead to seven,28-21, at the half, and came outlooking to run the floor after thebreak.

Charlotte was willing to oblige,turning the first minutes of thethird into more of a track meetthan a basketball game, especial-ly with all of the missed layupson both ends; neither team couldscore for the first two minutes ofthe game.

A three-pointer by Eastern’sMarisa Washington ended thedrought and brought her team towithin four points, 28-24, with 5:52left in the third, but that would beas close as they would get.

Charlotte went on a 9-2 runto end the third quarter, cappedoff by a three by Wolever thatmade the score 41-28 going intothe fourth.

Eastern had a chance to closethe gap from the free-throw lineagain as they had in the first half,but didn’t take advantage, miss-ing five of its first six free throws,including the front ends of twoone-and-one opportunities, in thefirst four minutes of the fourth.Despite just two points scored byCharlotte in that time, the Oriolesheld their double-digit lead, andfinished the game with a comfort-able 52-42 margin.

Overall, Hoyt was very pleasedwith the result, as well as herteam’s potential for more.

“Playing as a team, rebounding,getting it to the girl who needs toshoot, whoever that happened tobe,” she said. “I saw some things Iliked, and some things we have towork on. Fine tweaks.”

The Orioles will play just oncethis week, putting the results ofthe fine tweaks to the test in theCAAC Gold opener at Eaton Rap-ids on Friday, Dec. 10.

It had always been her dream to run in college and this fall her dream came true. This fall she ran on the crosscountry team for the Lansing Community College Stars, one of the top junior college cross country teams in the nation.Early in the season she was the #5 runner (20:40). As the season progressed so did Ashley. On Oct. 12, the team wonthe Region XII championship. Ashley finished fourth overall (18:53). On Nov. 13 the stars traveled to Spartanburg, SC tocompete in the NJCAA Division 1 National Championship. The team took third place nationally as Ashley ran her best raceof the year (18:38).

Charlotte OriolesBOYSBASKETBALL

CAAC GoldwCoaches’ prediction: 1. Haslett,2. DeWitt, 3. Charlotte, 4. Fowlerville,5. Ionia, 6. Eaton Rapids.

w Top player: Jordan Johnson, DeWitt

w League outlook: No area conference raceappears as wide open as this one.Including honorable mentions, only fourof 21 all-league honorees are back fromlast year.

w Coach: Jake Briney, first season

w Returning starters: Blake Rankin (6-4 G)sr., Grant Snyder (6-0 G) sr., ChaseDeBack (6-8 C) jr., Brek LaFave (6-2 G) sr.

w Other contributors:Max Weigand (6-5G) sr., Aubrey Parrish (6-3 G) jr., Joe Daly(6-0 F) sr.

w Outlook: Briney is introducing an athleticstyle of play that could take off rightaway because the team’s depth will allowit to run an up-tempo offense. Briney alsoinherited an all-league guard in Rankinand plenty of height to aid in thetransition.

w Other contributor: Caitlyn Southern (5-5G) sr.
