HASLETT — Meridian
Township fire officials will
investigate whether contractors working at a house
under construction on Lake
Lansing contributed to a fire
last week that destroyed
the structure, a home next
door and damaged a third
home, according to Chief
Fred Cowper.
Fire investigators have
photos and video footage,

uncompleted home, whose
owner was unknown to
investigators at the time of
the fire. Those reports are
being investigated.
A permit is required for
construction fires.
“If that’s what was going
on, we’ll get to the bottom
of it,” Cowper said. “Right
now we’re not ruling out
anything.”
The weather played a
significant role in the spread
of the fire and for firefighters on the scene.
Winds blew at a steady

MERIDIAN TWP. – The Central Fire Station in Okemos will not close.
By a 4-3 vote during a hotly debated
five-hour meeting Oct. 18, the Meridian
Township Board shifted $75,000
in the
proposed budget to make repairs at the
Central Fire Station, built in the 1950s, and
pay for engineering work that may some
day be used to build a new fire station in
Okemos.
The $75,000 was originally set aside for
the construction of a heated garage at the
Public Safety building on Clinton Street
to house one ambulance, plus funds for a
washing apparatus.
A new fire station is beeing planned
for Okemos to replace the Central station
but voter-approval of a tax is needed in

Schertzing
said after
their Oct. 17 meeting that
the use of recall petitions
has steadily climbed in
recent years.
“There were a couple
of local issues these last
couple of years, then the
state-level stuff really
exploded this year,”
Schertzing said.
“Are people frustrated
because of the economy, or
by the coarseness of politics? How much of this is
driven by the economy?”

Station
Continued from Page 1
November 2012 to pay for
the new building.
Where a new station
would be built in Okemos
and what it would include
have not been decided.
The board has not formally voted to put the tax
issue on the ballot.
Earlier this month, the
Okemos fire station was
proposed just to be closed
overnight. Since then officials proposed shutting it
down.
Township
supervisor
Susan McGillicuddy voted
no on shifting the money to
be used for the Okemos station, as did trustees Brett
Dreyfus and Lynn Och-
berg.
McGillicuddy said she
believes “there are a lot of
positives” in trying out an
different approach with the
Central station.
“The benefit I see is
there’s time to make a plan
and time to collect valuable information - what do
we need, where would it be
located, how much would it
cost,” she added.
Ochberg spoke of the
“prospect of profit” for the
township should the property be sold, but others
weren’t so sure.
“Are we going to get very
much for that property? I
don’t think so,” trustee Elizabeth LeGoff said.
LeGoff, John Veenstra,
Clerk Mary Helmbrecht
and Treasurer Julie Brixie
favored the shift of money
for the Okemos station.
Township
manager
Gerald Richards said he is
aware of some water leakage through the roof at the
Okemos station, while other
repairs are to be determined
“We will look at the building in its entirety to see
what makes the most sense
to repair and upgrade,” he
added.
The meeting, which
lasted more than five hours,
was marred several times
by contention – much
having to do with the fate
of the Central fire station.
Trustee John Veenstra
asked early in the meeting
to have the budget treated
as a discussion item, rather
than be voted upon.
“There has been so much
focus on the issue of what
to do with the dire station
that the rest of the budget
has had too little attention,”
he said.
Veenstra and LeGoff
were the only board members voting yes on his proposal.
The 2012 budget – which
the board passed unanimously – shows general
fund revenues of $16.614
million and expenditures of
$16.610 million, yielding a
small surplus.
Summer 2011 tax bills
declined 2.3 percent, Richards told the board in his
manager’s message, and
indicators point to a further 5 percent decline in
summer 2012. Wages have
been frozen at all levels
of employment and are not
expected to rise again for
two to three years.
Some hiring is taking
place, but on a part-time
basis.

Taste of Okemos hosts 17 eateries
Towne Courier
OKEMOS – Where else can you
sample menus from a variety of
Okemos and East Lansing-area food
establishments, all in one location at
the same time?
Okemos High School’s Vocal Music
Program will again provide the community an opportunity to “taste test”
nearly 30 culinary creations of new
and established food restaurants at
the Twelfth Annual Taste of Okemos
event on Saturday, Oct. 29 at Okemos
High School.
All proceeds from the fund-raiser
support the widely recognized high
school program, led by OHS Vocal
Music
Director
Deb
Borton-McDonough.
Last year’s event raised more than
$6,000, which was used to purchase
new uniforms, music, fund transportation to vocal performances throughout the state, and provide for many
other items which would have been
unavailable due to budget cuts.
“I’ve lived in Okemos for a long
time and never cease to be awed
by the community’s generosity and
excitement about music and our kids,”
said Borton-McDonough.
7
PARTICIPATING RESTAURANTS
Restaurants represented include
Buffalo Wild Wings, Coffee and Friends,
Copper, Dusty’s Cellar, El Azteco, Enso,
Grand Traverse Pie Company, Lou and
Harry’s Grill, McAlister’s Deli, Noodles
and Company, Okemos Dairy, Okemos
Food Service, Panchero’s, Panera Bread,
Pizza House, Stillwater Grill and Sultan’s.
The Okemos High School cafeteria
fills with people wanting to sample
the best from local restaurants.

“The Taste of Okemos is so fabulous because of that very generous
spirit, found in my students, their parents, our food vendors, and the whole
community.”
Held in the Commons area of the
high school from 2 to 4 p.m., nearly
30 area vendors will offer selections
ranging from traditional American
cuisine to Mexican and Middle Eastern for the minimal cost of $15 for
adults, $10 for senior citizens and
children aged 6-10, and $5 for children age five and under.
Tickets may be purchased at the
door on the day of the event.
The volunteer parent organization,
chaired this year by David Mackson,
work closely with the choir students
to make this event possible.
While the parents are responsible
for securing the vendors and promoting the event, the students take
responsibility for all the duties the
day of the event, including set-up,
serving, and clean-up.
“I have always loved participating
in the Taste of Okemos and sampling
new restaurants,” said OHS Treble
Ensemble member Andrea Lulich,
“This year I’m really excited to be
a part of the volunteer crew; I get to
eat lots of yummy food and help raise
money for our choir programs. It’s
the best of both worlds!”

Recall
the state’s 83 counties –
to decide whether the petitions go forward.
Ballenger also foresees
a time where the Legislature could attempt to
reword state recall election language.
“The question is – what
really are the criteria? No
one is really sure. It’s obvious something should be
done about it,” he said.
On the whole, however,
Ballenger isn’t in favor of
any recalls.
“Grounds for a recall
probably should be confined to things like gross
criminal neglect or malfeasance,” he said.
“Just because you don’t
like the way someone
voted on (a bill) and you
want to get rid of them
now, that’s just a bad practice for a democracy. You
will always have voters
angry at the way someone
has voted, but that is what
regularly scheduled elections are for.”
Sandler said the petitions against Meadows and
Byrum will be refiled.
Once filed, the commission
has a minimum of 10 and
a maximum of 20 days to
consider a hearing.
The criteria for what is,
and what’s not clear language on a recall petition
was evident in Williamston
and Vevay Township.
On the local level, a
petition to recall Williamston Mayor Michelle
Van Wert has been filed
two times Williamston resident Kent Hall, each one
rejected by a unanimous
commission vote.
The first failed attempt
claimed Van Wert caused
excessive work and stress
for the city’s staff and was
responsible for the city’s
growing legal tab.
The second cited actual
legal fees paid by the city
and claimed the mayor
did nothing to prevent the
costs. That, too, was shot
down as being vague.
Sometimes the actual
recall language is clear
but hardly matters in a
highly charged political
atmosphere,
A second try on a peti-
tion to recall three Vevay
Township board members 11
was approved.
The language said the
board should be recalled
for “budgeting $23,000 for
attorney fees in the
2011-12 budget adopted on
March 30, 2011 and
approved at the April 4,
2011 meeting.”
The targets of the recall
Vevay Township Supervisor Ron Weesies, clerk
JoAnn Keene and trustee
Dan Ruttan, point out that
budgeting funds for attorney fees is a normal function of government.
The recall targets argue
that recall has little to
do with budgeting attorney
fees and is more about
a clash of personalities.
Township officials also say
an election will costly.
The petitioners say they
have enough signatures to
get the recall on the ballot
in February.
Since clerk is the target
of the recall, the county
will have to administer the
election, costing the township thousands of dollars.

on both sides of the aisle,
with more than two dozen
campaigns at some point in
the process.
Only one of those
efforts, against state Rep.
Paul Scott, R-Grand Blanc,
appears to have a chance
of going to the voters in the
near future.
Ballenger says recall
attempts on Democrats
like Byrum, Meadows and
Whitmer all appear to be in
retaliation for Democratic
campaigns against Republicans.
And while Democrats
say they’re innocent,
“Unfortunately their fingerprints are all over these
recalls,” he added.
“The Republicans are
turning around and saying,
‘Two can play at this
game’.”
Like Schertzing,
Ballenger has only witnessed an escalation of the
use of recall petitions in
the last three years.
Ballenger is concerned
about the use of threemember election commissions – one for each of

I will be voting no on E. Lansing bond proposal
M
y recent tour of
Red Cedar was
a surreal experience. Everything seemed
to be in order; lots of kids,
smiling, laughing, organized and well-behaved.
The building looked
clean and functional.
So why is it targeted for
closure?
If that question cannot
be answered succinctly
then how can the bond
issue be supported?
Perhaps we need to
close Red Cedar so that
we can consolidate the
kids into “21st Century
Schools.”
These are billed as cutting edge, fewer walls and
more open spaces. And
more than likely larger
capacity — translation,
fewer sections per grade,
more kids per class room
and fewer teachers.
Our small elementary
buildings with lots of class-
GUEST COLUMN
Bill Weckesser
rooms are probably our
best insurance for smaller
class sizes. And for teachers, classrooms can mean
job security.
Maybe we need to close
Red Cedar because the
other buildings don’t meet
our current needs.
For instance, as one
of my opponents in the
school board election has
pointed out, the cafeterias
are inadequate. But that’s
like bulldozing my whole
house because my wife
wants to upgrade the
kitchen.
We’ve been told that
parking is a mess. Yet it
looks to me like parents
want their kids to walk to
school.
Does Red Cedar need to
be closed because we can’t
afford it? I’d bet that we
could save about $150,000
or so in busing if we went
back to a K-5 or K-6 configuration and had as many
kids walk as possible.
Add that to a savings
of perhaps $450,000 as faculty will likely end up
paying 20 percent of their
health insurance and
there’s $600,000. That’s
what the administration
estimated it could save
back in 2009 by closing
Glencairn and Whitehills.

It’s true that 7 mills

declining property values.
But, it’s also true that
the lower taxable value will
generate a lot less annual
revenue to service the

exceed $3 million dollars a
year in the early years.
Not to worry though, the
district can borrow that as

But, what if the district

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Triplett finds solutions for East Lansing
In an era marked by sound-bite politics, East Lansing Councilmember Nathan
Triplett stands apart.
He takes time to understand the issues facing our city and to listen to the concerns
we share with him. With that community input, he finds solutions that address both our
short-term challenges as well as our long term goals.
For instance, Nathan led the way on East Lansing’s Green Building Policy, which
encourages economic development along with sustainable building practices.
It is exactly this type of common sense approach that we need here in East Lansing,
and it is why I will be voting for Nathan Triplett East Lansing City Council on Nov. 8.

East Lansing senior
quarterback, Alex Carlson,
knew he had one last shot at
Grand Ledge.
The Trojans defeated the
Comets 17-0 on Oct. 14. The
CAAC Blue victory marked
the first in the series for
East Lansing since 2007.
And it guaranteed a spot
for the Trojans in the state
high school football playoffs.
“We’ve never beaten
them,” Carlson said. “I’ve
actually been playing them
since fifth grade and we’ve
never beaten them in football. To go out there and perform the way we did was
really special.”
“It’s always been a blowout,” added senior Chris
Hagan.
East Lansing finally
turned the tables on the
Comets.
Carlson
completed
9-of-16 passes for 74 yards
and threw two touchdowns
for East Lansing (6-2, 4-2).
Hagan scored a touchdown,
kicked a field goal and
added two extra points for
the Trojans, who rebounded
from a 50-28 loss to Sexton
to hand the Comets (6-2, 4-2)
their second straight loss
after a 6-0 start.
“To come back from 50
points and give up none, it
was a big deal,” Hagan said.
“It was huge. Our biggest

Daniel Coulter didn’t let the
nerves of playing in his first district
game get the best of him on Oct 18.
Coulter scored East Lansing’s
only goal as the Trojans downed
Haslett 1-0 in the opening round of
post-season play.
The Trojans faced St. Johns in the
district semifinal on Oct. 20, after
this paper went to press.
“It was pretty important to me,”
Coulter said after the win over Haslett. “It’s my first year on varsity.
We didn’t do as well as we wanted
to but we kept a clean sheet and got
the W. We just want to continue winning.”
The game marked the second
meeting between Haslett and East
Lansing, which tied earlier this
season.
Coulter’s goal came just 11 minutes into the game, and was set up
by Grant Uecker, who sent a cross to
Alex Lindsey near the left sideline.
Lindsey found Coulter at the center
goal line, who headed the ball high
past Vikings keeper Josh Kleinow.
“I knew he wasn’t going to get a
shot off from there,” Coulter said.
“I was just there and he got it to
me right where he needed to so I
could just head it in. Our main goal
is always to get it in the very front
to score.”
East Lansing had several oppor-
COME
tunities to score again in the first
and second half but didn’t connect.
Uecker scored a goal 10 minutes
into the second half that was taken
back because of an offsides penalty.
“We were able to possess the ball
like we were hoping to,” Trojan’s
coach Nick Archer said. “We knew
that if we could posses the ball, we
could create some more chances.
Unfortunately, not enough went into
the goal. We were fortunate to get
that goal and hold on to it.”
The Trojans kept the ball on their
side of the field the majority of the
game, giving the Vikings very little
opportunity to score.
“We’ve been practicing ball con-
trol all year,” Coulter said. “(Haslett) kinda just kicked it up and
hoped someone would run onto it
and then we just kept getting possessions off of that.”
Andrew Jennings had six saves
for the Trojans.
Josh Kleinow did his part at holding the Trojans to just one goal with
some notable saves in both halves.
Kleinow finished with ten saves for
the Vikings.
“We could have made it a closer
game,” Kleinow said. “The game
was pretty even as far as defense.
Both defenses had mistakes which
led to goal scoring opportunities,
but they put theirs away and we
didn’t.”

Heavy winds didn’t
phase Okemos sophomore
Elle Nichols.
Nichols won the Division
2 state meet on Oct. 15 with
rounds of 77 and 80 to finish
on top with a final score of
157.
East Lansing’s Kristyn
Crippen was right behind
her with a score of 158 and
teammate Maggie Campbell came in at fourth with
a 162. East Lansing finished
in seventh place.
“I was really proud of
Kristyn,” Nichols said. “She
was really able to finish with
a strong round. I knew she
was capable and she knew
she wanted to finish strong.
To have us get number one
and number two was really
great. We had a lot of fun
and I’m so happy for her
and Maggie.”
Okemos coach Dan Stolz
and East Lansing coach
Mary Jo Stacks both said
the weather conditions
made for a difficult tournament.
“It was unbearable,”
Stolz said. “There were
30-40 mile per hour winds at
times and (Nichols) showed
a great deal of maturity
both days. She’s already a
leader and will continue to
be a terrific leader.
“To have three of the
top four places be our local
girls really says something.
Our local girls were really
tough.”
Stacks agreed.
“It was like playing in a
hurricane,” Stacks said.
“The golf bags were literally falling over, that’s
how strong the wind was.
“I’m just proud of their
commitment. They are very
smart players. They played
with poise and confidence
they didn’t care about the
wind.”

The Bath Charter Township Planning Commission will conduct a
public hearing in the board room at the Township Hall on the follow ing items: Wind Energy Conversion Systems Ordinance, Zoning Regulations for a Chicken Ordinance and Zoning Regulations for the Keeping of Horses Outside of Non-Agricultural Areas within the township.
The Wind Energy Conversion Systems Ordinance addresses zoning
regulations to permit wind energy systems in Bath Township. Currently, no provisions or guidelines exist on this type of development and
it is the intent of the language to help streamline the process for permitting wind energy systems with reasonable guidelines.
The planning commission is addressing and identifying provisions
and guidelines for dealing with the keeping of backyard chickens.
The intent of the proposed language is to allow backyard chickens in
areas outside of the non-agricultural areas of the township.
The planning commission is addressing and identifying provisions
and guidelines for keeping horses outside of the rural and low density zoning districts through a special use permit process. The intent of
the zoning regulations is to allow for the keeping of horses for non
commercial, recreational purposes on properties with large enough
acreage.
