GRAND LEDGE — For JulieLaughlin, a Grand Ledge retiree, asmall annoyance turned into a majorlife changer.
It was one of those annoying pop-ups that litter your computer screenwhen you are trying to do somethingelse on line.
Ordinarily Laughlin, like most netsurfers, hits the ‘DELETE’ buttonand moves on. For some reason, shedidn’t for a pop-up ad from Publish-er’s Clearing House, and on a whimshe entered their contest.
“I didn’t buy any magazines, butI bought a bag of grass seed,” shesaid.
“I have this spot in my back yardthat just won’t grow grass, and theyhad this grass seed that is supposedto be really fast.”
Like many people these days,Laughlin, a retired secretary fromthe state Department of Education,had been experiencing financial pres-sures.
“I was having a lot of problemsfinancially, and trying to decide if Iwas going to keep my home or let itgo,” she said.
And on Tuesday, Dec. 2, after astring of bad days, she had a verygood day.
Laughlin was in a Grand Rapidshospital keeping her cousin companyfollowing surgery when the Prize Pa-
trol showed up on her doorstep witha replica check for $1 million.
After ringing the doorbell multipletimes, they went to neighbor KathyFeighner’s house.
Feighner was able to contact
Laughlin’s son, Ben, who called hismother with a message to come homebecause a package had been deliv-ered for her.

GRAND LEDGE — Thefirst amendment to the con-stitution guarantees citizensthe right to “petition thegovernment for a redress ofgrievances.”
At the last meeting of theGrand Ledge Board of Edu-cation, Stephen Woods de-cided to do exactly that.
“We got screwed is theway we feel,” he said.
A year ago, Woods’ twochildren attended Green-wood Elementary School,approximately one and ahalf miles from GreenwoodElementary School.
Facing a multi-milliondollar projected deficit, theschool board voted to con-solidate five elementaryschools into four, and twomiddle schools into one, re-sulting in the closure ofGreenwood.
Woods’ children now at-tend Wacousta ElementarySchool, six miles and a 10minute drive away by car,but a 45 minute bus trip eachmorning and 50 to 70 min-utes each afternoon, withstops in four different town-
ships because of the busrouting.
In order to increase ef-ficiency, the school districtattempts to use their busesas close to their full capac-ity as possible. Elementarystudents must sit three toa seat, which requires stu-dents to put backpacks ontheir laps and makes home-work on the bus impossible,Woods said.
Instead of reading anddoing homework, Woodssaid, his 6-year-old sonspends the ride time “learn-ing lessons of the world”from the 12 year-olds whoshare his ride time.
Grand Ledge School Su-perintendent SteveMatthews is sympathetic tothe Woods’ concerns, andpromised to look at possiblechanges, but said his abilityto act is limited.
“I know the parents don’twant to hear this, but theydo fit within the existingboard policy,” Matthewssaid.

mal weather.Shortening the time lim-
it in that policy could onlybe done by adding moreroutes, drivers and buses,said Chief Finance OfficerTom Goodwin, and he saidthe Grand Ledge district’stransportation costs are al-ready among the highest inthe state, primarily due togeography.
With schools being grad-ed based on standardizedtest scores, and facing heavypenalties if students fail toperform on those tests,there is pressure to putmore resources into teach-ing, and districts are forcedto take a hard look at anyexpenditures outside of theclassroom. Transportationbudgets are taking a hitacross the state.
Longer bus rides and fullbuses are not unique toGrand Ledge, said KarenLosch, Executive Directorof the Michigan Associa-tion for PupilTransportation, which rep-resents school transporta-tion directors across thestate.
“Every school district inthe state of Michigan is try-ing to maximize their rider-ship,” she said.
“The days of short busruns and door-to-door pick-up are probably over un-less we can find some magicmoney somewhere.”
When the Grand Ledgeschool board approved the
school closings and revisedattendance boundaries, theyrealized it would not be pop-ular with parents.
“I think this is a rottenidea, but there is no wayaround it,” board Vice Pres-ident Linda Wasyk said. “Weare making the best of a re-ally crummy situation.”
Grand Ledge Schools,like all other public schools,receive no extra money out-side of their basic foun-dation allowance to cover
pupil transportation. How-ever, due to factors outsideof their control, transporta-tion costs vary widely.
The largest issue is geog-raphy.
Compact school districts,such as East Lansing andWaverly, with less than 20square miles, are able toprovide transportation at acost of approximately twopercent of their revenue,and students enjoy relative-ly short bus rides.
Bus: Long rides pose dilemma for parents, schoolsContinued from page 1 Larger districts, such as
Grand Ledge, Maple Valleyand St. Johns, with morethan 100 square miles tocover, must drive farther topick up and deliver students,and transportation costs eatup between seven and eightpercent of their revenue.

Stephen Woods speaks to the Grand Ledge schoolboard about his concerns over long bus rides for hischildren. Between the closing of a nearby elementaryschool and board policy allowing rides of up to anhour, Woods’ two children must spend much longeron buses than last year.

Laughlin is still digestinghow her life will change.
“I’m going to take it slow-ly,” she said. But it is alreadyclear her life will be differ-ent.
“I have already had a callfrom a girl I went to highschool with in 1967.”
Laughlin, who enjoys en-tering handmade items inthe St. Michael’s annual craftshow and spending timewith her three grandsons,has made no plans for majorchanges in her life, but shesaid it is beginning to sink in
how things have changed.“Yesterday morning (be-
fore all this happened) I wasthinking ‘what am I going todo with my money,’ and to-day I’m thinking ‘what amI going to do with my mon-ey,’ but it’s completely dif-ferent,” she said.
Friends and neighborssaid they could not havethought of someone moredeserving.
Feighner described heras “A very kind, caringgrandmother, and a goodneighbor.”
In the spring, Laughlinhopes to use her PCH.compurchase to fix that bare spotin her back yard, but for now,“I have it sitting right here.It’s my lucky grass seed.”

EAST LANSING, MI | Some things in life haveeasy solutions. Hungry? Eat. Tired? Sleep.
Bored? Gosh, who could be bored?! Lose
something? …Now that can be tougher. Any
kind of loss can cause frustration, or regret,
or pain. But some types of loss impact our
lives profoundly--like the loss of a loved
one, the loss of your health, or the loss of one
of your senses-your hearing, for instance.
With the holiday season approaching,why
not do something about that loss? Consider
it a holiday gift to yourself. Imagine
hearing your children, grandchildren, or
great grandchildren without constantly
asking them to repeat something. Think
about hearing the sounds of the holidays
again—the oven timer when the cookies
or turkey are done, the carolers at the door,
TV specials, and don’t forget the wonderful
sounds of holiday music!

to face. The average American postpones
F99>=A; <9?C :BE HC GB ./ K95EF 5:G9E ,EFG
noticing his or
her hearing isn’t
quite what it once
was. Why? Well,

applied “solution”
to any problem of
F=;A=,75A79( 2B 57>ABJ?98;9 <95E=A;
loss is to admit frailty, vulnerability…our
own mortality.
But it’s not only the individual with
<95E=A; 8=:,7H?G=9F J<B :99?F 5 ?BFF0 J<9A
you can’t hear, your family and friends also
feel a loss- a loss of communication, a loss
of a relationship. Effectively, they’ve lost
a loved one, they’ve lost you. Companies
that provide hearing aids--including mine-
-get excited about the new technology
and the great advances we’re making in
treating hearing loss. And we advertise
these products with enthusiasm (like the
new Invisible-In-the-Canal hearing aid with
advanced noise reduction technology—
very exciting!). But the fact is, the best
technology money can buy won’t help if
your hearing loss is not accurately assessed

their loved-ones) can better understand their
hearing loss.
So how do you get the best help available
for your hearing loss?You look for expertise.
You look for hearing health professionals
with the best technology, the best training, the
best facilities, and the best support programs

that has your best interests at heart. You
look for prices that are competitive but not
cheap. (Very few people are standing in the
$349.00 pacemaker line.)
Where health is concerned you must use
good judgment to ensure you are matching
your hearing loss to the appropriate hearing
device. Purchasing a hearing device
because it is cheap or “I don’t need to hear

that has the proper level of reserve gain and
extensive programming capabilities is far
more economical than a unit that must be
replaced every two or three years. A patient
may decide to upgrade due to advance
technology but should not be forced to
because the hearing device simply will not
meet their need any longer.
We believe strongly in continuing
to seek the best training available, and
surrounding ourselves with a network of
top professionals from across the country.

to-coast, the AccuQuest network is one of
largest and strongest audiological practices
in the country. We provide a full range of
services including hearing evaluations,

appropriately with Doctors of Audiology,

Specialists, and Audioprosthologists.
Collectively we have an enormous pool
of best practices that lead to extraordinary
accuracy and consistency. The effective
treatment of hearing loss demands
nothing less.
At AccuQuest Hearing Centers our
purpose is in our name—we are on a quest
to make accurate hearing a reality for our
patients. Our facilities, our training, our
technology, and our extensive network of
expertise allow us to provide exactly that.
So this holiday season give yourself the
gift everyone on your list will love. Invest
in your ability to hear, you’ll be giving your
loved ones back something they thought
they had lost…you!

GRAND LEDGE - We’veall attended retirement par-ties or parties where peoplewho were leaving one posi-tion for another or anothertown for another were givena final send-off with a roast.People would get their finalshot at their co worker oropponent and all usually ingood fun.
I say in good fun becauseif you watch our politicalcampaign adds you’ll findnot too many smiles on anyperson being introduced toanother party.
Well, three weeks ago atthe Cole-Briggs 48 AmericanLegion post about 100 peo-ple came together to “roast”long-time athletic secretarySandy Sipes.
One by one past and pres-ent coaches spoke of San-dy’s 42 years in office andher never ending presenceand compassion for thosesurrounding her.
What a lousy roast. Justkidding. What was reallyshown was that even thoughmany of those who spokeand tried, none includingmyself, could come close to“roasting” Sandy.
John Krupa and PatO’Keefe, whose tongueshave been razor sharp overthe years, couldn’t speakanything but positives abouther.
Deb Traxinger, the em-cee, who helped to organizethe party passed the micro-phone to any who wantedto give one last testimony ofjust what Sandy has meantto them over the years.
Grand Ledge coachinglegends who had returnedfor the evening spoke. JimBrandt. Kim Spalsbury.Garth Barrett were amongthe noted.
Sipes began her 42 yearcareer at the high schoolwhile a student there in thelate 1960s. Eventually shewould be promoted from apart time student employee
to a full time member of thesecretarial ranks.
“I still remember beingcalled into the office andthinking that I was goingto be done,” said Sipes. “In-stead Mr.Beagle (Ken Beaglethe former superintendentof schools.) asked me if Iwas interested in workingfull time. I had a full time jobright out of high school andjust stayed on from thereuntil my retirement.”
What Sipes has meant tothe athletic department can-not be fully calculated inwages. Over the years Sandybecame the internal worksof all of the high school ath-letes.
During her tenure sheworked for 10 former athlet-ic directors including DavePorter, Pete Rozich, TomDrahnak to name a few andGary Boyce, the latest co-worker for the past quarterof a century.
Perhaps the biggest laughof the evening came whenGary Boyce saluted her for
her efforts and was followedby his wife Pam who said“I was the other woman for25 years. My husband spentmore time with her morethan me.”
Indeed that was true asthe mountains of paperwork over the years piledhigher and higher. I for onecan attest that wheneverI needed any informationabout a student athlete Iwould call Sandy. Moreoften than not she wouldhave the answer within aminute. If not she would getback with me within a shorttime frame often helping memake my deadlines with lit-tle effort. She was a life sav-er for me.
Not only was she thegame saver for me, everycoach that spoke of Sandytalked of how she had beenso instrumental in theircoaching success.
Sandy was the “RadarO’Reilly” of Grand Ledge
Roast Sandy Sipes? No wayBy ARV [email protected]
Sandy Sipes, the mother of Grand Ledge athletics,was presented with flowers from former athleticdirector Gary Boyce and a GL sports jacket fromRoger “Moose” Love. Sipes worked in the athleticdepartment for 42 years before retiring before the fallsports season.

athletics. Her efforts afford-ed many coaches the op-portunity to do what theywere hired to do and that’sto coach. She took care ofmuch of the rest includingrosters, physical forms andeligibility reports.
And she always seemedto do so with such speedand accuracy that made hersuch a valuable asset to ev-ery single coach.
As each coach told hisor her story it became clearthat nobody could find muchto roast Sandy about butrather tell of her major rolein their success as coaches.
Not only did Sandy doso much for athletics shealso did so much more forkids who needed help, ei-ther emotionally or econom-ically, with a hug or with apat on the back and offeringwords of encouragement tothose less fortunate.
Each year aroundThanksgiving a giving tree
was set up by her athletic of-fice. Just before the Christ-mas break gifts wouldsurround the office, all withher coordinating efforts. Be-cause of her endless effortskids who might have hadfew gifts if any received giftsbecause of her. She was in-strumental in the kids shop-ping tour held each year.
When it came time forSandy to speak she spokesoftly and with much hum-bleness and also from herheart. One of life’s accom-plishments that she nevercompleted was that of be-coming a teacher.
“I always wanted to be ateacher. That was my dreamcome true,” Sipes said as sheteared up. “I always admiredthe teachers who have doneso much for our kids. I want-ed to be like them.”
With that statement cameseveral people respondingback, “Sandy you did.”
Sandy Sipes might havenever fulfilled her dream ofbecoming a college gradu-
ate or a certified teacher.But in the end there isn’t aperson associated with edu-cation that wouldn’t call hera teacher.
Sandy was so much morethan a teacher. Sandy wasa mentor, a den mother,a wonderful secretary anda very dedicated employee.Sandy was a spokesperson,a game saver and a coachessafety net.
And perhaps most of all,Sandy Sipes was a truefriend, a true friend to theentire community and we asa community are so foreverindebted to her efforts.
Thanks Sandy, you’vebeen a great teacher. You’vetaught us all something thatone can’t earn with a col-lege degree. Through yourefforts you’ve shown an en-tire community what com-passion and dedication, loveand just simply being a greatperson is all about. And, Ifor one, publicly salute you!And the line behind me islong!

Growing Pains
So here you are. Your child is crying his eyes out, usuallyat bedtime, with what seems to be to indescribable pains in his/her legs. Your heartstrings have had it and you have most likelytried all the standard parent remedies such as walking, reading,hot towels, cuddling, massaging the legs, all to no avail. Thepains still persist. Eventually your child finally falls asleep fromshear exhaustion and you simply dread a repeat performance thenext day. Finally, out of pure frustration, you seek professionalhelp only to be told that it is simply ”growing pains”, and that“your child will eventually grow out of it.” Concerned andworried parents often hear such bizarre comments. The sadtruth is that many parents actually believe that to be the case.
You were probably told that your child’s legs hurt because thebones, ligaments and muscles are developing and a little painis a normal part of the process. Apparently all these tissues andbones all grow differently and should cause pain. This has alwaysbeen traditionally explained as a normal part of childhood.Manyconcerned parents have believed this theory for years because atfirst glance, it seems fairly sound. It appears to be acceptable andafter all, parents are not trained as doctors and so we are literallysold on the idea that it should hurt to grow. This becomes anaccepted part of childhood - a rite of passage. Nonsense!
Think about this for amoment though......
When did it ever hurt to grow? Is this really a “normal” partof childhood as we have been taught to believe? And whyonly the legs? Don’t the arms, the nose, the fingers and allthe other parts of body also grow? Why don’t they hurt?
You are now beginning to see, that the explanations mostparents are given are not only untrue but also illogical. Ifthat is the case then, what is the real reason of these pains?
The vast majority of children I see complaining of growingpains are in their very active formative years, most beingbetween six and fifteen years old. The sudden jars, bumpsand lumps of vigorous play, participation in sports, etc. oftenproduce stress on the spine and cause the vertebrae to becomesubluxated. These subluxations affect the way certain nervescontrol the function of your child’s legs, knees, feet, etc. Inadults this is called sciatica - pain in the legs. Even the internalorgans can be affected, creating a plethora of difficultiesranging from abdominal cramps, diarrhea and/or constipation,to Colitis, Crohn’s disease and Irritable Bowel Syndrome, etc.
Consider this, those of you who are bothered by low back painand leg pain as adults most likely also experienced “growingpains” when you were little. You may not have realized that by
having your subluxation corrected asa child, may very well have eliminatedwhat you are experiencing today.
If your child is experiencing painsin the legs, or “restless legs,” or anyof the problems I have mentionedabove, a visit to your familychiropractor should be a top priority.
One thing you should keep in mind is that pain is a warning.It is the body’s way of letting us know that something is notright. If your child is complaining, please remember thatthere is a reason for it.

19Letters to the editor
Tax credit is not welfare giveawaySen.-elect Rick Jones, R-Grand Ledge, wrongly labeled
the Earned Income Tax Credit a “welfare giveaway” duringan interview on WKAR’s “Off the Record.’’
Let us set the record straight. The EITC is a state taxcredit that is given only to those who work for a living. It isnot a handout. In fact it is helping more than 16,000 work-ing families in Sen.-elect Jones’ district in Allegan, Barryand Eaton counties. Nearly one in seven filers in the sena-tor-elect’s district claimed the EITC.
It is modeled after the federal EITC. Those who qualifyfor the federal EITC also qualify for a state credit that is20 percent of the federal credit. One big fan of the EITCwas President Ronald Reagan. “Giving a leg up to thosestruggling to move up is what America is all about,’’ Rea-gan said.
It is also shown to be an effective way to stimulate theeconomy. Sen.-elect Jones would deny the credit to nearly17,000 working families in his district and in turn, harmsmall businesses in Grand Ledge and elsewhere in the 24thDistrict.

Want to see tax dollars at work?I, Dale Westrick, have collected the following informa-
tion since I became a trustee in Oct., 2008.If you have concerns about how your tax dollars are
being spent; please read this. If you have any questionsor for more detailed information, please e-mail me at:[email protected] or call (517) 626-2256 or visit mywebsite www.wacousta.org.
1. Oct, 20, 2008 Board of Trustees meeting: I addressedhealth insurance coverage. Some of the issues raisedwere:
a. The health insurance offered for me and my wife (re-fused by me for both of us) upon my election to the board,was not in compliance with township ordinance regardingsame. In addition, the ordinance provided coverage onlyfor trustees, not their spouses.
b. The preliminary 2009 budget, presented to boardmembers for consideration in Nov. 2008, included $12,000for health insurance for not only myself, but also my wife.(I had already refused this a month earlier!)
2. Nov. 12, 2008. Jennifer Tubbs, township manager,recommended in a packet to trustees for consideration pri-
or to Nov. 17, board meeting, that the board change thepolicy regarding health insurance coverage to include thespouses and dependents of all board members and full-time employees of the township.
NOTE: I pointed out to the board that if this policy wereimplemented, the cost to the township at approximately$14,500 for seven board members and their families wouldbe over $100,000 a year.
3. Jan. 19, 2009 BOT meeting, Board approved amend-ment to eliminate health care provisions for trustees andpart-time supervisor and scheduled an adoption vote forMarch meeting at which it passes.
4. March 17, 2009 – presentIt came to my attention shortly after the March meeting
that in lieu of full health care coverage, the other trustees
and the supervisor were being paid health care benefit re-imbursement.
5. I conducted a survey with 70 townships in Michiganasking if their trustees receive any health care, pension,life insurance, retirement or other benefits. Results are asfollows:
No health care benefits: 65 townshipsSome health care benefits: 5 townshipsSUMMARY:At present, our trustees and supervisor can each receive
a maximum of $4,500 reimbursement in lieu of health careinsurance.
If you do not agree with this, make your voice heard atfuture township board meetings.
Dale Westrick Watertown Township Trustee

GRAND LEDGE - After graduatingin the spring from Grand Ledge, TylerPark Baker will become a third genera-tion Baker to head to college on an ath-letic scholarship.
Following in the athletic footstepsof his grandfather, the late Park Bakerwho played football at Michigan StateUniversity (1956-59) andhis father Kent who playedbaseball at Ferris StateUniversity (1986-89), TylerP. will attend Spring ArborUniversity on a baseballscholarship after his of-ficial signing on Oct. 29in front of family andfriends.
After contemplating sev-eral other offers from anumber of schools Bakerdecided on Spring Arbor, a member ofthe NAIA, for a number of reasons.
“I liked the new buildings, smallerclass sizxes, the way the team greetedme and treated me as well as how thecoaches treated me.
I liked their stadium, clubhouse, work-out facilities and the field house. Every-thing just felt right to me,” said Baker.
“The NAIA has a roster of 23 as op-posed to the NCAA roster size of 35.There’s a better chance that I’ll play ear-lier and more often.”
Baker’s statistics to date make him
a prime candidate to get playing timewith his talents. Tyler has been a three-year starter for Pat O’Keefe’s Comets andhas played shortstop and primarily firstbase.
Baker was an All-Conference selec-tion in both his freshman and sophomoreyears.
Last year (2010) he was All-Confer-ence CAAC Blue, All-Area Dream Team,All-District, All-Regional and Division IAll-State Second Team, one of a handfulof juniors to be named to the team.
His 2010 statistics included a .545 bat-ting average (72 for 132), 60 runs scored,48 RBIs, 16 doubles, 9 home runs, and aslugging percentage of .871.
He also had a fielding average of .975.He pitched 5.2 innings allowing just twohits and one walk while striking out 6.
Not only are his baseball numbers bighis classroom stats are equally as highwith a grade point average of 3.83 andAcademic All State honors as well.
Spring Arbor head coach Sam Riggle-man was in attendance and witnessedthe signing as well as secured the signingwith his own signature.
Riggleman, a nine-year head coach atSpring Arbor and also the athletic direc-tor was elated with the signing.
“At our school and in our program wetry to find young men who have excel-lent character as well as being excellentathletes.
Ty certainly fits that profile,” Riggle-man said.
Riggleman will be honored this spring
after being named one of two recipientsof the American Baseball Coaches Asso-ciation Ethics on Coaching Award.
Riggleman sports a 207-99 record asthe head coach at Spring Arbor. He holdsa career coaching record of 853-548-2 asa collegiate head coach.
“I’m excited to get going,” said Baker.“Spring Arbor has been to the Nationalplayoffs five years in a row.
Two of those years they made it to theNAIA World Series Championship game.Coach Riggleman is in two Hall of Famesand one of only 10 caoches with over 700wins.
His assistant coach has been a majorleague scout.
And the players all commented at howclose knit of a family that the teamwas.”
So the ink is dry and Baker will playone more spring as a Comet as they seeka state crown.
Then after graduating he will head toSpring Arbor to work on his degree inaccounting as well as continuing his al-ready brilliant baseball career.
Chances are we haven’t heard the lastfrom Tyler Park Baker.
And neither have his opponents.

the game 3-1 after two periods.In the third the game was played penalty
free and the Barnes hit the empty net with 55seconds to go to seal the win and the tour-nament title. Hull made 32 saves to preservethe Championship.
Head Coach Brian Clifford said he learnedalot about his team over the Thanksgivingweekend. “We faced a lot of adversity duringthis game, with so many penalties called one
way,” Clifford said. “The team stuck togeth-er and showed me how much character wehad on our team, I am so proud of them. Wewill continue to work hard to improve and Ithink we made a huge step this weekend.”
The team will play a very memorablegame this week, when they travel to Ann Ar-bor to take on New Boston Huron at Michi-gan Stadium, as part of U-M’s version of theCOlde War, which they call the Big Chill in
the Big House.That outdoor game, the first of three
scheduled for the Comet-Warriors this year,will be played on Tuesday Dec. 4 at 10 a.m.
“It’s kind of a neat thing,” Clifford said.“I’m glad we were able to do it. There werea lot of teams that wanted to do it, so we’rereally excited. I always wanted to do an out-door game for the kids, but this is a greatopportunity.”

GRAND LEDGE — Apparently, John Greenslit thinksretirement is overrated.
He started his latest job as director of the Eaton CountyParks Department on Nov. 1, replacing Dan Patten wholeft to head the Barry County Parks.
Greenslit, of Delta Township, said he ended up in thedirector’s job after interviewing for a volunteer positionon the Eaton County Parks Commission.
He had been semi-retired, working part time for FirstTee, an organization which promotes golfiing for youngpeople.
Now in his third week, “being overwhelmed is an un-derstatement,” said Greenslit.
He said he is impressed with the state of the park sys-tem.
“Amazing stuff the department has been able to do be-ing so shorthanded and having its budget difficulties,” hesaid.
Greenslit gives much of the credit to the department’sstaff.
“We have just outstanding support people. They lookfor work instead of running away from it,” he said.
“They may ruin the whole image of county employ-ees.”
He comes to Eaton County after a long career in thefield of parks and recreation.
Greenslit began working for the South Dakota gover-nor’s office, where he headed up efforts to develop theLewis and Clark Trail, which links St. Louis to Astoria, Or-egon, following the route of the original explorers.
In 1972, he accepted a position as head of the MichiganRecreation and Parks Association, an umbrella organiza-tion for the 180 local parks departments and recreationprofessionals across Michigan.
Among his achievements while he was there, he said,was helping to push through the initiative creating Mich-igan’s Conservation Trust Fund, which receives revenuefrom oil and gas leases, earmarked for the purchase anddevelopment of land for public recreation.
In his spare time, he worked as a coach and athleticofficial, including officiating during the Atlanta Olympicgames.
Now that he is here, Greenslit said he does not plan tosit back and be a passive leader of the department.
He plans to continue efforts to build partnerships andimprove efficiencies, along the line of the recent agree-ment between the department and the city of Grand Ledgefor shared services.
One example he cited was the possibility of asking lo-cal governments in the southern part of the county tohelp with plowing snow in the parks there, rather than
having to drive the parks department’s equipment acrossthe county to plow a half mile of road.
He also expects to try to seize opportunities to developnew facilities and programs, where possible.
“I’d like to see a county play day here where school kidsall come to the parks for sack races and three legged stuffand softball throws,” he said. “It’s really big in the metroarea. The Huron Clinton Authority does it for schools intheir five county area.”
He hopes to connect with Walk Michigan, and get in-volved with some of the local hospitals in wellness pro-grams. Another example he cited is continuing efforts tocreate a public recreation area out of the large lake creat-ed from the former Crandall sand and gravel operation atM-50 and Stewart Road, between Eaton Rapids and Char-
lotte.The project is currently on hold, pending completion of
a feasibility study and identifying financing, but Greenslitplans to meet with state officials concerning the availabil-ity of money from the state’s conservation trust fund.
“It may be a 10-year project, but I could see majorboating, water based events, great fishing, a swimmingbeach.”
He noted the absence of any quality camping opportu-nities within 30 miles, and believes it could be a great facil-ity for visitors to the county fairgrounds.
Greenslit hopes to continue relationships with theFriends of the Eaton County Parks, and with service orga-nizations such as the Lions and Rotary Clubs, who havebeen generous to the parks system, he said.
New parks director full speed aheadBy ALAN [email protected]
Eaton County Parks Director John Greenslit stands outside his office in Fitzgerald Park in Grand Ledge.Greenslit, who has plans to continue developing programs and facilities, began the job in early November,replacing Dan Patten, who left to head the Barry County Parks Department.
