County looks at dam maintenance

IRON COUNTYThe Iron County Road Commission may have one more job added to its list of responsibilities. But the commissioners have nearly four years to get ready. According to county Drain Commissioner Tom Clark, the county could legally dissolve his ofce. According to the Drain Code of 1956, because Iron Countys population has fallen below 12,000, the drain commissioner job could be turned over to the road commission. Clark is responsible for assessing and maintaining three dams in Iron County: at Stager Lake, Sunset Lake and Fortune Lake. The County Board currently allocates $10,000 to each lake annually. However, those annual assessments must be done by a licensed engineer. Most Michigan counties have farmed dam oversight duties out to their road commissions, which have an engineer on staff. However, the drain commissioners ofce cannot be terminated during the current ofcials tenure. So the County Board would have to dissolve the ofce prior to the next electionin this case, November 2016. In the meantime, GEI Consultants Inc. of Iron River is providing engineering services for the drain commissioner. Clark has been working on a Michigan Department of Environmental Quality grant to repair Iron County dams.

By Mark Lewis IRON COUNTYA proposal to change Michigan school nancing has Iron Countys state representative-elect and area school ofcials concerned as it moves through the Legislature. With the motto, Any time, any place, any way, any pace, The Oxford Foundation of Michigan proposed nance option claims to create more educational opportunities for students. But opponents raise concerns about where Michigan tax dollars will be spent and who will be accountable for providing quality education. When we lose local control over our local school districts. thats when I think were in trouble, 110th District Rep.elect Scott Dianda said in a phone interview Friday. I want to see local control of our local governments, he added. Dianda, who replaces Rep. Matt Huuki in January, is concerned that the oversight and transparency local school districts provide would be missing if statewide authorities took control. He is concerned that emergency management teams called for in the bill would usurp local authorities. Dianda said school districts should reect local values. He added that the social skills students learn while attending public schools are essential to education. The Michigan Education Finance Project is designed to replace the School Aid Act of 1979. That legislation funded public schools based on student enrollment. When the law was enacted, the vast majority of Michigan students attended public schools. Private school tuitions and operating costs

were paid by students. Homeschooling was uncommon. The new nance proposal would make the money follow the students, according to the Oxford Foundation of Michigan. Established in as a nonprot organization in 1991, the Oxford Foundation tasked itself with lessening the burden of government, according to its charter. In May, Gov. Rick Snyder enlisted the foundation to help draft the Michigan Education Finance Project. But according to a proposal, the group would also implement the program and oversee funding dispersal. Elements of the program include per-pupil funding untethered to a conventional school district. That would allow students to attend any school district regardless of their residence and demands performance-based funding rather that attendance-based funding. The proposal calls for an educational system that offers unfettered exibility and adaptability for student learning models and styles. What the system lacks is accountability. While public schools will be forced to meet certain standardized test scores to maintain funding, home schools and charter schools will have a different set of guidelines. When you say, anytime, anyplace, any way, any pace, you open up an awful lot of issues, West Iron County School Superintendent Chris

Thomson said. For example; cyber schools. If youre paying for a student to go to a school online, theres a good chance your money isnt staying in

Michigan, Thomson said. The Forest Park Board of Education is planning a meeting to discuss the issue. Continued on page 5

Herbal Remedies for the Winter Blues

With the winter season upon us, many experience the winter blues. Sometimes we look for a pick me up during this time of year. Many of us have heard or seen advertisements for an herbal product called St Johns Wart. This has been listed as an emotional pick up or an antidepressant. Even though it does help with the seasonal blues, you should always check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting any over the counter medications. Herbal medications especially interfere with many prescriptions. One interaction is St Johns Wart and prescription anti-depressants. Examples of these medications are Prozac, Celexa, and Zoloft. So remember, always talk to your physician or pharmacist before you try new herbal, over the counter or prescription medications. If you have any drug interaction questions, please feel free to call our pharmacy at 265.0449. You can also request a copy of our drug interaction brochure for you to take home.

Court news...
IRON COUNTYOne of the two suspects charged in the recent theft of a motor vehicle from Angelis Central Market was in Iron County Trial Court on Monday, Nov. 26. Eighteen-year-old Shad Bryan of LAnse was charged with one count of unlawful driving away of a motor vehicle, a ve-year felony, and one count of eeing or eluding a police ofcer, also a ve-year felony. Bryan waived his preliminary examination and was bound over to circuit court, where he entered not guilty pleas on both counts. The charges allege that Bryan, along with alleged accomplice Devin Curtis, stole a motor vehicle from the Angelis Central Market parking lot in Iron River. After a high speed chase, which ended in the defendants crashing the vehicle, the two ed on foot. They were later located by police. The Iron River Police, Michigan State Police, Keweenaw Bay Indian Community Tribal Police and Michigan DNR conservation ofcers all assisted in the incident. Bryan will next appear for a Circuit Court pretrial conference on Dec. 17 at 10:30 a.m. His co-defendant is currently wanted on a bench warrant for failure to appear in court. Forty-nine-year-old Theresa Kay Lato of Crystal Falls appeared to enter a plea in a case charging her with breaking and entering a building, a tenyear felony, and possession of a controlled substance, a twoyear felony. Lato was charged as a habitual offender, third offense, doubling the possible maximum penalties to 20 years on the breaking and entering and four years on the possession charge. The charges stem from a June 2, 2012, incident in which Lato allegedly stole sterling silver and gold bars from a family member. The items were later recovered. Lato admitted to the theft and pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of larceny from a building, habitual offender, second offense, which carries a maximum penalty of six years in prison. The possession charge was dismissed in exchange for the guilty plea. She will be sentenced Jan. 7, 2013, at 10:30 a.m. The case was investigated by the Iron County Sheriffs Ofce. Bobby Joe Nordstrom, 37, of Iron River also appeared to enter a plea. Nordstrom was charged, alleging that in a July 2012 incident he, while intoxicated, pointed a shotgun at family members in an attempt to scare them. Initially called in as a potential hostage situation, further investigation revealed that the family members were able to ee the area and call 911. No injuries were reported. Nordstrom was charged with one felony count of being a felon in possession of a rearm, which normally carries a ve-year maximum term. As a fourth-time habitual offender, Nordstrom could have faced life in prison from the charge. He was also charged with two counts of assault with a deadly weapon, four-year felonies, increased to 15 years, due to the habitual offender, fourth status. A 93-day misdemeanor of possession of a rearm while under the inuence was also led. Per an agreement with Iron County Prosecuting Attorney Melissa Powell, Nordstrom plead guilty to being a felon in possession of a rearm as a habitual offender, second offense, which decreased the maximum penalty from life to 7 years. He also pleaded guilty to one assault with a deadly weapon charge as a second-time habitual offender, making it a six-year felony. In exchange for the guilty plea, one assault felony and the misdemeanor possession charge were dismissed. Nordstrom was also given the reduction from habitual offender fourth to second offender as part of the exchange. He will be sentenced on Jan. 7, 2013, at 10 a.m. The Iron County Sheriffs office handled the investigation with assistance from the Michigan State Police.

Now as of Dec. 3 the bus will run four days a week (Mon.-Thurs.), but not on Fridays which is the day that users ride the bus to stock up and get ready for the weekend, but did Jeff at DICSA and the Iron River Codirectors, consider this I dont think so because if they had they would have kept Fridays and stayed closed on Mondays or Thursdays. We also have to cancel our Fun Time 1:15 p.m. Bingo or schedule it two days in a row. Not once have they ever met with the people who patronize the center. (They did send out a very costly survey which was another joke). I told Jeff they should do that a year ago and he told me that was an excellent idea but he never did it. He and others are penny wise, pound foolish and dont even get me started about the famous people who sit on the Site Council. If you want my thoughts on that call me at 2655323 and Ill share my thoughts gladly with you. You have to be 55 to sit on the Site Council, and I turned 55 two years ago and considered running for a seat and I dont doubt that I would have been elected but I am way too progressive and decided not to run and aggravate myself. The Iron River senior building is one of the nicest centers in the U.P., much nicer than the one in my hometown of Munising but on the other hand, Alger County has a voted millage for transportation there and a wonderful bus schedule and interestingly enough they dont have a paid director nor do they cook their meals at the center; the hospital cooks the meals on wheels there and at a considerable cost savings. If DICSA, at some point closes the Iron River center, I will blame the County Board and the Site Council. Enough said. -s- Jeanne M. Lake, 5 hour a week bingo volunteer and meal patron 1-3x a week since 2001.

Remember when
Ten years ago (2002): Nicole Hansen, a junior at Forest Park High School, has been selected to perform with the 2003 National Wind Ensemble in Carnegie Hall. John and Elinor (Nell) Serena celebrated their 60 years of marriage Oct. 31 at Spring Valley Apartments, where they currently reside. West Iron County Middle School seventh grade Students of the Month for October and September, Erin Gustafson, Zach Stuck, Michael Baumgartner and Ashley Schmidt, were awarded certificates of recognition of success. West Iron County Middle School eighth grade Student Leaders of the Month for October were Brian Hinch and Emily Drake. Twenty-five years ago (1987): Congratulations to Chuck and Kathy Phillips of Crystal Falls on the birth of Blaise Allen on Dec. 12 at Iron County General Hospital. Grandparents are Mr. and Mrs. Frank Kidd of Farmington Hills and Naomi and Jim Phillips of Crystal Falls. The 1987 deer season was a big one for Tammy Schuls of Gaastra. She lled two tags Nov. 19. The rst was a doe, while the second was a four point, 150 pound buck shot in the Crystal Falls area. Nearly three years after work began and 2 1/2 years after the Bates Township Centennial, The Bates Township Legacy1885-1985 arrived from the printers last week, just in time for Christmas 1987. Fifty years ago (1962): Mr. and Mrs. James Evanoff of Stambaugh are the parents of a daughter, Holly Marie, born Dec. 10 at Stambaugh General Hospital. Diane M. Nelson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William A. Nelson of Bates Township, and George J. Adzima, son of Mrs. Barbara Adzima of Shabonna, Ill., repeated their nuptial vows recently before the altar of St. Cecilia Church in Caspian, with the Rev. Fr. Herman Fadale ofciating at the double ring ceremony. Clayton Youngren of Stambaugh laid claim to the largest deer killed to date during the recent hunting season. He shot the eight-point 260-pound buck Nov. 18 in the Chicagoan Lake area.

Promises werent kept

To the editor: Iron County Board Chair Wayne Wales, didnt keep his promise to the users of the Iron River Senior Center because guess what seniors, on Friday, Nov. 16, DICSA announced major changes at the center, regarding the meals and the limited transportation program. I think we are the only, or one of the few counties in the U.P. that does not have five day a week senior transportation system in place. This was cut approximately 6-8 or more years ago and never returned in the next budget year. But does the county board care? Maybe the new board will help x the transportation problem in Iron County. I have not driven since February of 1995 and I started riding the service bus to the hair shop on Fridays in July of 1997 at which time it cost $1 per ride and ran ve days a week. Now I pay $2.50 a ride (big increase). They discriminate and charge people under 60 higher prices for the same ride and the same meal, I was told this is dictated by the Feds but no one has ever tried to get it changed and so they could treat everyone equal.

Out of the Past

100 years ago: The year 1912 will go down in history as the one in which the greatest tonnage sent out by the Lake Superior District to date has been forwarded to the furnaces in the lower section of the country.

Thin ice blamed for two incidents

IRON COUNTYSheriff Mark Valesano warns residents to proceed with caution as ice begins forming on area lakes. The sheriff reports two incidents last week when residents fell through ice. The rst incident occurred Nov. 26 when a man on Wagner Lake fell through the ice while trying to rescue a dog. A similar incident occurred Nov. 27 when a man broke through the ice on Hagerman Lake. In that case, the individual was rescued by a neighbor. He was treated for injuries at a local hospital and released. That individual was also rescuing a dog when he fell into the lake. With the warm fall, ice conditions should be considered unsafe, Valesano said. Currents, springs and changing water levels in reservoirs all have an impact on ice safety. According to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, four inches of ice can hold a person. Five inches of ice can safely hold a snowmobile and 12 to 18 inches of ice are required to safely support a light truck. When you venture out on the ice, you should talk to someone familiar with the lake you are going to visit about ice conditions and let someone know where you are going and when you are going to be back, Valesano said. It is also a good idea to take a set of ice picks or nails with you to help you get back on the ice in the event you fall in. Valesano encourages people to stay off the ice until it becomes safe.

State puts Camp Ottawa up for sale

By Wendy Otto-Shimun IRON RIVER TOWNSHIP After years of attempting to collect a sewer availability charge on the state-owned former Camp Ottawa facility, Iron River Township may be ready to give up. At the Township Boards November meeting, Supervisor Mark Polley reported on a recent meeting between representatives from the township and Gov. Rick Snyders ofce. They owe us, said Trustee Ken Piwarski, who was at the meeting, but its not going to happen, regarding the long overdue bill. Despite that, the township did receive some good news: Though the former prison camp was said to be bonded and unable to be sold until 2025, it was recently added to the states surplus property list and has been put up for sale. Township attorney Steve Polich explained that the states position was that the title to the property could be turned over to an industrial, commercial or educational concern for the sum of $1. Polley noted there is currently one promising prospect looking at the site. Although the land is zoned residential, that could be changed. Im sure the board will help if it means jobs. he said. It could also go back on the tax roll. Although the state has continued to maintain the building, it has failed to pay the large sewer availability charge, specically put in place to protect the township and help cover the costs of the sewer lift station and other sewer infrastructure associated with the facility. The charge was added in July 2009 and was never recognized by the Michigan Department of Corrections. One resident questioned whether the board would continue to charge the fee, knowing that the state does not plan to pay up. He also wondered if sewer charges for the facility would be forgiven or if the new owner would be responsible. Polley said that would be something the next Township Board would have to decide, although he did say that it would not be fair to charge the residents of the township if the state was not paying. Township residents had a lot of decisions to make on the November ballot. When all was said and done, three incumbents were un-seated. Sixty-three percent, or 601 of the townships 954 registered voters, took part in the election. After 12 years, Supervisor Polley was defeated by Scott Tarsi, who received 52 percent of the vote to Polleys 47 percent. Clerk Amber Laturi retained her position, while Robert Tulppo will take over as treasurer. Trustee Alden Froblom held on to his seat, but Kenneth Piwarski was beaten out by Michael Sheehy. Although the renewal request for one mill for the townships roads passed, it
was close, with 291 yes to 285 no votes. Not so lucky was the operational millage, which asked for two mills. Labeled as an increase due to the numerous failed attempts to pass the renewal over the years, the request failed, with 65 percent of voters against it373 no to 202 yes. If it had passed, the millage would have brought in $105,000 its rst year. With no operational millage money coming in, Piwarski worried about the incoming board. It doesnt know what theyre going to do. he said. Polley agreed, noting that the township does not have much operating funds left. In two or two and half years, there will be nothing left. he said. It doesnt take long. In need of one regular and one alternate member for the planning commission, the board accepted Dave Clements as the regular member and Steve Van de Hey as the alternate. Four new ordinances, which are currently being worked on, will need to be reviewed by the incoming board and then referred back to the planning commission to begin the adoption process. Approximately 23 percent of the township water project has been completed thus far, totaling $715,000 worth of work. The board approved payment of $375,641 to Hebert Construction and another $17,879 to GEI for engineering work. Polley was unsure what work would be done through the winter months, but hoped the water meters would be installed during that time. GEIs Jeff Bal also reported that the township is currently ranked 60th out of 102 applicants for the DNR Trust Fund Grant. Attorney Polich thanked outgoing board members Polley, Piwarski and Treasurer Nancy Clements for their work over the years. Piwarski thanked the people of the township and welcomed the new board members. Polley also thanked the people, saying it was a pleasure to serve the residents of Iron River Township.

Senior Center dance Dec. 8

School bill . . .
Continued from page 1 Superintendent Becky Waters was unavailable to comment. Dianda is concerned that commercial schools would value prots above providing a solid education. I want to make this clear, Dianda said. These are for-prot companies that we are putting in charge of our childrens education. Despite less than a month remaining in Michigans current legislative session, Dianda believes the bill could still be passed. He suspects that revamping Michigans education nancing system is a top priority for legislators before the new Legislature is seated in January. Before becoming law, House Bill 6004 must be approved by the House of Representatives and Senate and then be signed by Gov. Snyder.

FP Board approves two policy changes

CRYSTAL FALLSThe Forest Part Board of Education approved two policy issues during its Nov. 26 meeting. Board members toughened the policy regarding who can represent the school district during certain events. Any student on probation, who has been convicted of a high misdemeanor or felony, who enters a no contest plea to a criminal charge or admits to a crime is barred from representing Forest Park during homecoming or prom activities. The additions supplement current policy in student handbooks, Forest Park Superintendent Becky Waters said. The policy was passed unanimously. The board also instituted a new policy that would charge a student for an additional lunch if caught sharing food. Because the district participates in the U.S. Department of Agricultures Federal Food Program, deterrents to sharing meals are required. If students decide to share purchased meals, the student sharing food will be charged for two meals. Students continuing to share from their tray will be charged for two meals, and the student receiving the share will be charged for a complete meal and be provided a complete tray, according to the policy. Kristine Imhoff was the only board member voting against implementing the food sharing policy. I just dont think this is best way to handle this, she said after the meeting.

Once youve filed your return, how long do you need to keep supporting records? Keep tax returns and the records used to prepare them for at least three years after filing if you have only W-2 and interest income. Keep these items for at least seven years if your returns are more complex. Thats because the IRS can audit your return for up to three years after its filed - up to six years if unreported income is involved.

Dower
In Michigan, a surviving wife must elect whether to take under her husbands will, an elective share or dower. Dower is available only to Michigan resident widows and it provides the surviving wife an undivided life estate in onethird of all real property owned by her husband at death or conveyed by the husband during his lifetime without his wifes joinder. In order to extinguish her dower right, the wife must join in a conveyance of real property by her husband when he has title in his name. Simply stated pursuant to Michigan law a wife can own and sell real property without her husband having an interest in it, however, generally a husband cannot sell real property without his wifes signature on the deed.

Rebuilt Wykon girls open at IM

IRON RIVERWhen they hit the court for their season opener at Iron Mountain Dec. 4, there will be many new girls in West Iron Countys blue varsity uniforms. But its not as through the Wykons are starting from scratchCoach Mike Dallavalle thinks his mostly new crew could surprise a few people this year. They certainly surprised Ironwood during a scrimmage just before Thanksgiving. The Wykons were active on defense and gave the Red Devils offense problems. With the youth we have on this team, Dallavalle reported, I thought we werent going to be as far along as we were last night. We have a good core coming back. LOOKING BACK: Last years Wykons nished with a 19-4 season record, 17-3 in the regular season. West Iron won its second straight district title and was nally eliminated by state seminalist St. Ignace in the regional semis. In the West Pac Conference, WIC went 6-2. Thats the good part. The bad part is that graduation cut a heavy swath, and Dallavalle somehow has to nd replacements for Jaclyn Waara, Joanna Pellizzer and Desi Rasmussen, girls who started for three and four years. Senior Kylee Erickson is the only returning starter this winter, but seniors Emilie Christensen and Mallory Tomasoski and junior Megan Miatech all played key minutes last season. They will play bigger roles now. Kylees going to be a focus for a lot of defenses, said Dallavalle. Shes going to have to be a leader, like she always has been, and nd the open person. And these girls have to realize they cant just look to one person to do everything. Thats what last years team was very good at doing. There wasnt any one person you could shut down and turn the whole team off. FACES: The NEW sophomores who moved up from Joe Serbentas JV squad add speed to the team. Defensively, I think were very aggressive as a group, Dallavalle said. Offensively, its going to take a little while to get these girls playing together and understanding where each other is on the oor. At the scrimmage, Ironwood played only zone the Wykons hadnt worked on zone offense yet. For the most part, we moved the ball pretty well and took pretty good high-percentage shots. Theyre very coachable. They work hard, and nobody complains or whines. Its another nice group of kids, and I think if they can work together and trust each other on the court, theyre going to be more successful than we think. THE ROSTER: The team has three seniors (Erickson, Christensen and Tomasoski), ve juniors (Miatech, Alexis Ivey, Cassilyn Pellizzer, Brittanie Barry and Ippaishaih Phillips,) and three sophomores (Alexis Gols, Sierra Rasmussen and Sydnie Mazurek). The team has speed, and it also has good size, with Miatech (5-9), Christensen (5-11) and Rasmussen (6-1). We can go with a two-person set in the paint or rotate one in or rotate two and keep them fresh. With a small core like that, we are expecting those girls to step and ll some of those roles. I think itll take a few games. During the scrimmage, Tomasoski and Pellizzer played well at guard, with Gols later moving in. She handles the ball well and attacks the basket well. Mazurek can swing between guard or forward, depending on what the team needs. Whatever happens, the guards need to stay out of foul trouble. Thats going to be pretty important. Under the net, the big girls will see plenty of action. Miatech and Christensen were varsity subs last yearChristensen provided big minutes off the bench during the district title game with Iron Mountain. She made a big impact in that game. Rasmussen is new to the varsity. Dont forget about Pellizzer, who is 5-9 and can jump. She has the athleticism to be an impact player for us. Brittanie Barry can also help down low but rst has to recover from a knee injury. Alexis Ivey will help the team in the seasons second half after missing time for a code violation. COMING UP: After the IM game, the Wykons visit Calumet on Dec. 6 and then come back home for games against Norway (Dec. 10) and Houghton (Dec. 14.)

Continued from page 12 Before Kylee entered seventh grade, Serbentas gave her a racket: Lets see if you like tennis. She did, and soon she was playing in youth tournaments. Under his tutelage, she improved quickly. A training tool that really helped her was ball machines that can be set to deliver different speeds and types of shots. West Iron got one during her junior year. This past summer, thats all I hit with. It was my best friendI was out there at Nelson Field every day with that ball machine. It really helped me. She also went with some of the U.P.s top boys singles players to Marquette each week for coaching. I played with all the guys up there, and that helped me so muchjust

She talked about working at a tennis camp, passing along her knowledge to young players. I could see myself doing that during summers. I love kids, so that would be a good job. In any case, tennis will remain part of her life. I cant imagine not playing, because it helped my condence a lot. That hard work really does pay off. It taught me a lot.

From self-doubt to two U.P. titles

By Peter Nocerini IRON RIVERBefore she could become a two-time girls tennis champion, West Iron Countys Kylee Erickson had to win a bigger battle. That opponent: herself. Midway through her rst singles title match in early October, Erickson suddenly started struggling and battled to control her self-doubt. Then she got back in control and rallied to win the U.P. singles title in straight sets, 6-2, 6-4. For all four of her years on the WIC girls tennis team, Erickson reached the rst singles title match at the Division 2 U.P. State Finals. She was U.P. runner-up as a freshman and sophomore and U.P. champion as a junior and senior. This year, she was named the U.P.s co-player of the year with Escanabas Codi Jenshak, who won the Division 1 singles title. Its Kylees second year as co-player of the yearshe shared the honor with Kingsfords Sam Fleming in 2011. Lets get back to Oct. 3 and that Division 2 title match against Westwoods Sarah Massie. Erickson won the rst set, 6-2. In the second set, she ran into problems, and Massie built up a 4-1 leadtwo games from forcing an all-or-nothing third set. Erickson realized she was playing defensivelyplaying not to lose. I am very hard on myself, she explained. I get frustrated with myself. When I was younger, I wasnt able to deal with it sometimes. In my junior and especially my senior years, I learned to deal with that, and I didnt get nearly as mad as I did before. Against Massie, Erickson realized in time that she had fallen back into that same old negative frame of mind. I was thinking, No, you cant lose this! I dont want to go to a third set! Joe Serbentas realized it, too. Serbentas is Kylees step-dad and a volunteer assistant with the girls team. During a short break, he passed along some advice: You just need to relax. I was putting so much pressure on myself because I knew I was expected to win. So I was, What if I lose? and I was just

A four-time nalist in Division 2 rst singles, Erickson is all business on the court.

West Irons Kylee Erickson, two-time co-player of the year in U.P. girls tennis, serves up a shot during a match early this fall. thinking of all the consequences instead of having fun. The match resumed, and Kylee rallied. She won three straight games to tie the set 4-4. Then she won the next two games to win the set, the match and her second U.P. title. If I had been in that kind of situation when I was younger, she said, I dont think I could have pulled it off, because I would have been mad at myself. In part, the change is that she has become older, more mature and batter able to realize that this isnt the end of the world. I tell myself, Youve practicedthats all you can do. So go out there and put it into practice. And just have fun with it. And I noticed the more I relaxed, the better I ended up playing. Just before the U.P. nals, Erickson won the rst singles title at the Great Northern Conference tournament. West Iron is the only Class C school in the GNCthe others are Class A or B in enrollment. I was really excited about that, she said. I beat the Escanaba girl, who had only one loss the whole seasonto me. It was really nice to get that out of the way and say I won GNCs! Little West Iron! It was one of those days when everything seemed to be working. Along with being stronger mentally, Ericksons skills improved each year. This fall, most of her matches were fairly easy. They were just getting me ready for those few girls who were great competition--Westwoods Massie, Escanabas Jenshak and Kingsfords Fleming. There were four of us, and we all made the all-state team this year. Luckily for Kylee, her step-dad is a top-notch tennis coach: Joe Serbentas has led West Irons boys team to ve U.P. Division 2 team championships. In the fall, he volunteers with the girls team, coached by Denise Spelgatti. Continued on page 11

CRYSTAL FALLSLexi Gussert shouldnt expect a Christmas card from Bark River-Harris basketball team. Not after what she did to them Nov. 30. The Broncos had Forest Park on the ropes at the Eddie Chambers Gym, building up a 13-point lead in the rst half only to see Lexi and the Lady Trojans dominate the third quarter 23-7 and go on to a 6357 win. Lexi scored 15 of FPs 23 points in the third quarter and 41 of its 63 overall. Her 41 points may be a Forest Park single-game recordCoach Jeff Syrjanen didnt know as of Saturday morning. Combined with their 50-34 win over North Central on Nov. 27, the Trojans are 2-0 both in the Skyline Conference and overall. Dont forget, this is the team that had a preseason shorter that anyone elses. REMATCH TIME: The Bark River game was their rst encounter since the Lady Trojans edged the Broncos 5047 in the regional title game last March 8. The Trojans led 7-4 early, but Bark River rallied with a 12-0 run to take a 16-7 lead. As that was going on, FP sophomore guard Adel Isaacson aggravated a lower back problem and left the game. Isaacson is one of only three varsity-tested Trojansthe others are Gussert and Kendra Campbell (on crutches with an ankle injury). Once Isaacson left, Forest Park was unsteady, and Bark River made the most of it, forcing turnovers and running fast breaks. We seemed to be rushing against them, said Syrjanen. We had a lot of turnovers15 in the rst half. A lot of it had to do with our young team that hadnt faced that pressure yet. Bark River gured out FPs press, beat it and got easy baskets. The Broncos led by 12 early in the second quarter. FP steadied a bit and cut the lead to seven, but BRH came back to lead 37-24 at halftime. Sarah Madalinski led the Broncos romp with 20 points in the rst half. NEW PLAN: At halftime, Coach Syrjanen told his troops there is plenty of time to come backand switched to a manto-man defense, focusing on Madalinski and Kylie Van Brocklin, who combined for 31 of Bark Rivers 37 rst half points. The new defense helped, Forest Park was more composed, and Bark River lost momentum, especially after getting called for seven fouls in the rst 4 minutes. What Bark River did to us in the rst half, said Syrjanen, we did to them in the second half. I felt our energy was a little better than theirs. FP broke the Broncos press much better after halftime and

wasnt getting trapped. Kelsi Hendrickson helped get the ball upcourt and set up FPs half-court offense. Sam Nylund and Sierra Robarge had big baskets for FP, and then there was Lexi. She had 10 of FPs 12 points early in the third quarter, including two treys from the right. She later added another two and another trey to put FP ahead for goodthe Trojans led 47-44 after three. CREATIVITY: We just seemed to be able to get her open more in the second half, said the coach, or else she created a lot of it herself. She moves so well on the oor and creates and nds openings for herself. When they were covering her, she was able to nd teammates for easy shots. Bark River battled back to tie it at 53, but FP scored the next nine on Maria Stankewiczs outlet hoop, Jessica Bawyns free throws, Robarges 12-footer and Gusserts drive. That wrapped up the win. Gussert was spectacular, of course, and her teammates rallied. It takes a team to win that game, said the coach, and we had a complete team effort, top to bottom. Everybody who was on the oor was giving it all they had all night long.

JETPACK: In the season opener against North Central, Forest Park broke out to an early 10-3 lead. The aggressive Jets rallied to tie it 12-12 early in the second quarter but put FP in the bonus moments later. The Lady Trojans dominated for the rest of the half, 22-7, to lead 34-19 at intermission. They made hay at the line (9 of 11) in the second frame. Gussert scored 10 in that quarter, and Sam Nylund, in her rst varsity game, had six. We tried to up-tempo the game early, said the coach, and it got us off to a good lead. We got them in a little foul trouble. And our quicknessyou can see were going to be a little quicker team this year. Neither team made much of a run in the second half, and for about six minutes the score was stuck at 42-28. NICE DEBUTS: Gussert led with 20 pointsshe missed a few minutes due to fouls and later had leg cramps. Bawyn backed her up with 10, and Isaacson and Nylund both scored eight.
