nSays ‘history is repeating itself’ with Russian president attempting to cripple Ukraine’s economy in order to overthrowBy Vera Hogan

The only way to preserve family history as it relates to the world around us is to write the chapters we know ourselves. This is especially important when that history appears to be repeating itself.

That’s exactly what Dr. Micheil Hanc-zaryk of Fenton T ownship did when he penned “Our Sacred T reasure: My Thoughts” (Dume Moyie). Published in 2018, Hanczaryk’s book is not just an ancestral record, it used real characters, his family, to teach readers what it was like to live in just one corner of our war -torn earth, specifically the Ukraine, during the first world wars.

“‘Dume Moyie’ is the title of a popular Ukrainian folk song that I grew up hearing my parents singing while attending various Ukrainian social functions with family and friends,” Hanczaryk said in the book’s forward.

“‘Dume Moyie’ means ‘my thoughts’ in Ukrai-

nian. The words in the song tell of an abandoned and displaced person in a foreign land longing for their family , homeland and all that is dear to them in the hopes that one day they will return home,’ he continued. “This written version of ‘Dume Moyie’ is actually my parent’s own personal experiences and memories of their adolescent years in Ukraine during and after the cataclysmic events surrounding World War II.” See BOOK on 11

ave you ever driven down the road and wondered where did all that garbage come from and who would intentionally throw

trash out while driving? I’m guessing that much of the trash that dots the edges of our roads has flown out of the bed of pickup trucks, has fallen from gar-bage trucks or has even been left behind after crashes. I found out just how bad the local trash problem is after catching up with a local man who has become a one-man anti-trash crusader.

For many driving in the Fenton and Linden area, they have probably seen a gentleman walking along North Road, Rolston Road, Adelaide Street, Bridge Street and other roads picking up litter. He parks his car and works alone. I’ve seen him many times and wondered who he is and why is he out there day after day picking up other’s trash. I fi-nally recognized this man as one of my neighbors and asked him why he did this all the time.

He was pretty reluctant to bring atten-tion to himself but Mark Shantz of Fen-ton Township said, “It’s just one way to give back to the community. Plus I hate litter and it gives me some exercise.”

Mark said he’s been picking up trash for about three years, from

spring to autumn, when no snow is on the ground. I asked him what was the craziest items he has picked up and he said he’s picked up anything from needles (he’s cautious), to car parts, numerous empty hard liquor bottles,

money, shoes, literally any-thing. He said the biggest amount of trash is tobacco products and liquor bot-tles. “It’s significant,” he said. He thinks the number of whisky and vodka bot-tles indicates there is a real drinking and driving problem in this area. He has also picked up about 35 tires in the last three years. He takes them to a local tire

shop to have them disposed of prop-erly. Overall, Mark estimates he has

Sharon Stone

From the Editor Anti-trash crusaderpicked up 2,000 bags of trash. “I just pick an area and do it,” he said. Once he’s cleared an area, he’ll check it lat-er and do another sweep to make sure it remains clean. “I want the place to look nice. It’s my way of giving back. One person can make a difference. I’d rather do something than complain,” he said. He appreciates the waves and honks as people drive by and he’s al-ways keeping an eye out to make sure he doesn’t get hit. Mark just wishes people would just keep their own area picked up. On a side note, he said last week, he even found a wallet along North Road that contained a driver’s license and credit cards. He turned it in to Fenton police, hoping they will return it to the owner. Sharon Stone is the editor of the Tri-County Times. If you would like to contact her, send an email to [email protected].


bond of $10,000 was set on each count. He is expected back in court May 9 for a probable cause con-ference. Simmons’ co-de-fendant, Robert L. Taylor, 20, also was arraigned Saturday ,

April 27, however, he faces three counts of uttering and publishing counterfeit bills or notes. A personal bond of $5,000 was set on each count and he too was lodged in the county jail over the weekend. A prob-able cause conference is set for May 9.

These cases began when the Fenton

Police Department arrested two adult males W ednesday, April 24 for passing counter -feit $100 bills at four different businesses on Silver Parkway. Lt. Jeff Cross said police be-lieved the suspects attempted to pass the fake bills at sev-eral other businesses, as well. Several counterfeit bills were

passed in exchange for gift cards. Cross said police believe there are other

suspects involved, however, they have not confirmed this yet.

Each charge carries a possible pen -alty of five years in prison and/or a $2,500 fine.

FENTON TOWNSHIP MAN GETS JAIL TIME, PROBATIONJoseph Medor, 54, of Fenton Township was sentenced April 23 to 30 days in the Genesee County Jail and then 18 months proba-tion. He will also have court costs and fines. He was arraigned Nov. 14, 2018, on one count of operat-ing a vehicle while intoxicated–third offense, a felony, stemming from a Sept. 13, 2018, incident in Fenton. On Sept. 13, 2018, Fen-ton police responded to Swanee Beach Drive to investigate a complaint. The caller told the dis-patcher that a man who might be intoxicated was yelling at neigh-bors. A description of the vehicle was provided to police. An officer located the vehicle and initiated a traffic stop. Contact was made with the driver, later identified as Medor. He was arrested for oper-ating a vehicle while intoxicated.

AKLContinued from Front Pagedefense attorney Frank Manley in the courtroom of Judge Richard Y uille of the Genesee County 7 th Circuit Court.

However, Akl will have to wait a little longer because his case was adjourned. Neither Akl nor Manley were present, and a new date will be set.

The last movement in Akl’ s case was May 7, 2018, when his case was bound over for a jury trial from the 67th District Court. He has remained in custody since the incident.

This case is about the shooting death of Akl’ s friend Brady Alan Morris. In the basement of Akl’ s family home, Akl allegedly shot Morris, 18, on March 4, 2017.

Akl was arraigned March 10, 2017, and he underwent competency exams. Evidence such as the police tapes were played in district court. He was

eventually declared fit to stand trial. On May 7, 2018, he was bound over to circuit court for a jury trial.

The Times will report the next trial date when it becomes available.

BackgroundAccording to investigative reports

from the Genesee County Sheriff’s Of-fice, at approximately 11 p.m. on March 4, 2 017, Gen esee Cou nty Sherif f’s deputies and the Fenton Police Depart-ment were dispatched to 14170 Moffett Dr. in Fenton Township in response to a 911 call regarding a male with a gunshot wound to the head. Akl was immediately taken into cus-tody and a semi-automatic pistol was found on the front porch and secured by police. The two teens, who were reportedly friends, were alone on the first floor of the residence when the shooting oc -curred. Other members of Akl’s family

and one other guest were on the second and third floors. According to the autopsy report, it appears that Morris was shot from behind at point blank range on the top left side of his head. With bond denied, Akl has remained in custody at the Genesee V alley Re-gional Center since his arrest.

Eric Niestroy, 17, is a senior at Lake Fenton High School, where he has had an active high school career in varsity cross country, track and field and baseball. He also has competed during the winter at indoor track meets for three years as an individual athlete. A member of Lake Fenton’s Key Club, Niestroy volunteered sev-eral times during the year in the com-munity. He is the son of James and Susan Niestroy of Fenton Township. He has a sister, Kendall, 20, and a brother, Nathan, 15.

In five years, I hope to have graduated with a degree from Saginaw Valley State University, be teaching and possibly coaching as well.What difference has running made in your life?It has helped me make great friend-ships over the four years of high school. It also has taught me that if you want something in life you’re going to have work for it. Running has become something I love to do, from just going on a small jog with friends to racing

Our Futuretain, Jacob Fletcher, became my men-tor. He took me under his wing and showed me what cross country was all about. He showed me that the work you put into this sport is what the sport will give back to you.

He would give me rides to practice and was truly a great leader and friend to me.What experience has shaped you more than anything else? It would be a running camp I attended last summer in the Steen Mountains in Oregon. I did some of the most physi-cally and mentally challenging things in my life. I learned a lot about the person I am, the leader I needed to be for my team and the person I want to become when I am older. What career excites you?Teaching and helping people is some-thing I have always enjoyed. I enjoy leading and helping the younger fresh-man and sophomores on our cross country team and I enjoy volunteering at our elementary and intermediate school.

GerrymanderingOn April 25, 2019, a three-judge

panel of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan issued its opinion in League of Women Voters of Michigan v Jocelyn Benson, Michigan Secretary of State.

The court found that 27 of the federal and state election districts drawn and approved by the Republican controlled Michigan legislature in 2011 constituted unconstitutional partisan gerrymander-ing in violation of the First and Four-teenth Amendments.

Gerrymandering is the drawing of election districts to favor a particular political party.

The remedies included an injunction prohibiting the use of these districts for future elections, that there be a remedial redistricting plan drawn and approved by the state by Aug. 1, 2019, and to have a special State Senate election in 2020 for the affected districts.

If a new redistricting plan isn’t sub-mitted by the deadline, the court will implement one of its own.

Published reports indicate that there will be an appeal.

The following is what could happen next.

Typically, an appeal would be heard by a federal appeals court. However, because this case was heard by a three-judge pan-el, which issued an injunction, by federal statute, the appeal will go directly to the United States Supreme Court.

This is a narrow exception to the rule that the Supreme Court only allows ap-peals in cases that it chooses to consider by what is called “granting a writ of certiorari.”

Additionally, there are now pending gerrymandering cases before the Su-preme Court from Maryland and North Carolina which may impact the Michi-gan case.

Some legal commentators have indicated that because there isn’t a recognized “judicially manageable standard” as to the limits of gerry-mandering, the court may decide to not involve itself in any of the cases.

Others have suggested that because the court majority is conservative, the lower courts which found constitutional viola-tions will be reversed.

Of course no one knows for sure.What we do know is that in Michigan

in 2022, there will be all new federal and state election districts as a result of the 2018 voter approved Independent Redis-tricting Commission.

A decision on the two pending cases is expected in June.

It will indeed be interesting to see how this all turns out.


nGames show students that science can be funBy Hannah Ball

Linden — Coding wit h robots. Building with blocks that create an arch. Seeing how a 3-D printer works.

The STEAM Museum came to Hyatt Elementary students Friday , April 26 to show students how science can be interesting and fun. STEAM stands for science, technology, engineering, arts and math. The purpose of these pro -grams is to encourage young children to consider a future in math and sciences.

“It’s education, a little bit of enter -tainment,” said Rick Reed, employee with Mobile Ed Productions Inc, which created the STEAM Museum. “Instead of worrying about having to bring ev -eryone on a field trip or a museum, we bring things to you.”

The different stations included bump-a-light, where two opponents face off to hit as many lit up buttons as they could “whack-a-mole” style. Reed said this station is meant to show students how electricity and science can be used for fun.

Students delighted in building an arch and then knocking it down. This helped them visualize how common the arch structure is, from doorways to the rafters in the Hyatt Elementary gymnasium.

Students played with liquid magnets and put together gears to better under-stand machines. At the music-making station, they created various beats, and at the robotics station, they “pro -grammed” a small robot to follow a line on an iPad. This is an easy version of programming and coding. The STEAM pinball machine incorporated numbers and colors into a fun game.

CHAMBERContinued from Page 3

The chamber has 103 now and Kullis expects to reach 125 members by the end of summer. After that, he thinks 150 members are attainable.

He maintains that they wouldn’t have come close without the goal. He said there were some high fives when they finally reached their 100th member.

“The (Holly) Village is very business friendly, and it shows,” Chamber Execu-tive Director Richard Kinnamon said.“I think people will be impressed by the businesses that will soon be locating here.There are also many new homes filling the once empty subdivisions.”

Interesting new businesses include Jobe Technology, a multimillion-dollar business now located in Holly.

Kullis said it took showing the ben -efits of a chamber to potential members to attract new businesses. “You want to nurture your business district; you want to bring business to town,” he said.

The highway billboards, ads in local magazines and monthly breakfasts had been revived to bring chamber members together.

Members also learn from experts who can offer advice on topics such as better business financing and social network-ing. “That’s the kind of stuf f chambers are supposed to do,” Kullis said.

Because it’s the Holly “area” chamber, they’ve initiated making connections and plans outside the village in places like the developing Groveland T ownship business corridor.

Through its website, the chamber is working to link hotels to the of f-road vehicle (ORV) park. The hotels are in Fenton and Grand Blanc, but could still benefit from the park in Groveland Township.

There’s also a portal for the Great Lakes National Cemetery in Holly Township, another big draw to the area.

“We are the one place business and community comes together ,” Kinna -mon said.

This certification makes her the first provider in her field at McLaren Flint to reach this level of certification.

BOAT SLIPContinued from Front Pagecity, this request is being discussed in two municipalities because the majority of its parking is a few parcels to the west in Fenton Township. Riparians on Silver and Marl lakes also packed a Fenton Township board meeting on March 18 to express their concerns.

The Michigan Department of Environ-mental Quality (MDEQ) approved the permit for more slips. The area is zoned C-2 General Business, and the parking lots in Fenton Township are an existing nonconforming area.

If Silver Spray Sports expands a nonconforming area, they would have to submit a new site plan and adhere to current zoning laws, which could include setbacks and requirements for parking.

Commissioner Susan Y eotis made a motion to table the issue until the city has a meeting with Fenton T ownship. Her motion passed, however , a date for the meeting has not yet been scheduled.Major vs. minor change

Debate ensued over whether adding 17 boat slips was a major or minor site plan change.

Mike Reilly, Fenton City building

inspector and zoning administrator , considered the request to add 17 boat slips a minor change because he took into account the entire business opera-tion. This includes not only the ma -rina, but also the storage facility and the rest of the buildings owned and used by the Smiths, the owners.

“I’m looking at the entire use,” Reilly said. “They’re not making any changes to the park-ing either.”

If it’ s a major site plan change, the city automatically conducts a site plan review, which could also allow them to add requirements. This could include requiring them to improve their parking lots.

A few commissioners did not agree with Reilly’s assessment. George Rizik, attorney for Silver and Marl Lake Asso-ciation, challenged the minor classifica-tion and said the ordinance used to find that determination depends on having an approved site plan. Rizik said there is no approved site plan for the property.

CIB Consultant Justin Sprague said on Tuesday, April 30, the city found a copy of a site plan of the marina from 2002.Does it meet Fenton Planning Com-mission requirements?

Silver Spray Sports is required to show they can accommodate at least 60 parking spaces in the city— one per slip, plus 10 for their retail business. Approximately 45 of these spots are in Fenton Township, which Sprague said makes it a township issue.

Michael Deem, Fenton T ownship zoning administrator, said he met with Fenton officials Tuesday, April 30. The city shared Silver Spray Sports submit -ted site plan. Deem said the township will review it to see how it fits with their zoning ordinance.

Fenton City CIB Consultant Justin Sprague said, “This site plan, to me, demonstrates that they have the capability of meeting our standards.”

He gave a recommendation to ap -prove the request for 17 more slips. City attorney Chris Patterson said even though part of the business’ parking is in the township, the city has control over the site plan.

“Even though a parcel actually exists outside of a township … hypothetically,

we’re going to treat is as the applicant tell-ing us we’re satisfying the off street park-ing conditions with this parcel,” he said.

Yeotis asked if the traffic engineer could look at the plan to ensure they have enough parking spaces also to ac-commodate trailers. Rizik said because

part of the parking is in Fenton Township, Sil -ver Spray Sports would have to adhere to town-ship ordinances, which includes a requirement that any use in a C-2 district has to be 80 feet from any residen -tial property boundary. This encroaches on the Smiths’ parking plans. Will adding 17 more

boat slips affect boat traffic on Silver Lake?

Sprague said this is not a standard of approval for their ordinance. He read a letter from a representative from the Michigan Department of Natural Re -sources stating that the DNR does not have standards or established criteria for how many boats should be on a lake.

“Under this ordinance, if you think there is a detriment to health and safety and welfare, you could find grounds to deny the special land use. We have no standards to determine whether it’ s a detriment to health, safety and welfare because the DNR and DEQ have punted it and said we don’ t have standards,” he said.

Patti Smith, co-owner of Silver Spray Sports with her husband, Jef f, said they have not requested any review or action by Fenton Township because they have not been required to. They did not have prior knowledge of the March Fenton Township meeting.

“We’re not expanding our existing parking. W e’re no t ma king an y i m-provements or changes to our parking situation near our lakeside building to accommodate our additional slip custom-ers. Our current parking is sufficient to accommodate our current and additional customers,” she said.

Patti Smith showed a letter from the Fenton Township zoning administrator that said their existing parking is permit-ted use. They are also allowed overflow parking under Article 6 of the township zoning ordinance. She said their slip customers randomly come and go and are never all at the marina at once.

‘‘ Our current parking is

sufficient to accommodate

our current and additional customers.’’Patti SmithSilver Spray Sports co-owner

BOOKContinued from Page 3

Hanczaryk said that what started as a document of his family’s history evolved into a primer of the events in Eastern Europe. “As teens, my parents were captured by the Nazis in their native Ukraine and used as forced slave labor-ers,” he said. “Initially escaping, they were recaptured and brought to Germany in cattle cars.”

Hanczaryk said this is not just a story of his parent’s ordeal, but that of millions of Ukrainians.

“History is repeating itself,” Hanc -zaryk said. “T oday, Russia’s President (Vladimir) Putin used the exact same three points as (Adolf) Hitler to justify invading Ukraine’s Crimea. The signifi-cance of this is that this is the first time since WW II that a sovereign nation has been invaded and lands seized.”

An international incident occurred on Nov. 25, 2018 when the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) coast guard fired upon and captured three Ukrainian Navy vessels attempting to pass from the Black Sea into the Sea of Azov through the Kerch Strait on their way to the port of Mariupol.

Forty percent of Ukraine’ s imports arrive through the Black Sea. “Putin is attempting to cripple Ukraine’s economy with its eventual overthrow,” Hanczaryk said.

Hanczaryk’s book is a brief (56 pag-es) biographical record of the unique events in his parent’ s lives, primarily revolving around the war. “My parent’s names are Stefania (Litnianska) and Anton Hanczaryk,” he said. “While some of the events described are a bit graphic, they are true and I feel they need to be recorded for our family.

“It is my hope that in some small way, by me documenting their story, it may be possible to prevent such events like this from happening again,” he said.

Students leap over obstacles symbolizing the inner functions of the heart, set up by teacher Amy Mowery (right.) Photo: Tim Jagielo

Fun at the Health and Fitness FairBy Tim Jagielo Fenton — Last week, T omek-Eastern Elementary Students traced the path blood takes through the heart, and elevated their own heart rates in the process. Through T uesday, April 23, Wednesday, April 24 and Thursday, April 25, all 500 students were able to take part in the daylong Health and Fitness Fair. “It reinforces what they’re learn -ing about both nutrition and the way the heart works,” physical education

teacher Amy Mowery said. In the “Heart Adventure,” students first take blue playground balls, symbolizing deoxygenated blood as it hits the heart. They run through an obstacle course representing the path blood takes through the heart. They exchange the blue spheres for red ones when the blood picks up more oxygen. Outside the gym, there’s a sampling of fresh healthy food that represents all the food groups. They included fruit smoothies and chicken salad.

TEENContinued from Front Pageagainst the teen. Rollins is expected to be arraigned in Genesee County 67 th

District Court on five counts of larceny of firearms now that his related court case in Oakland County has been bound over for trial. He was lodged in the Genesee County Jail over the weekend, according to court records.

As previously reported in the T imes, Rollins’ arrest came after area schools were placed on secure mode T uesday morning, March 12, while several police departments investigated a report of an unaccounted for Linden teen, Rollins, and four stolen weapons. Rollins was taken into custody and arrested several hours later in Holly.

His parents had notified authorities when they discovered guns missing from their home and learned their son had not shown up for school. Local school districts were advised to go into secure mode as a precaution.

Linden Police Chief Scott Sutter said police initially believed Rollins would

be charged with four counts of larceny of firearms after Rollins allegedly stole a rifle, shotgun and two handguns from his parent’s home in Linden. Sutter said police later learned there was a fifth stolen weapon, another shotgun.

Linden police and the Genesee County Sheriff’s Office investigated the situation and interviewed students at Lake Fenton High School. Police followed leads to Holly, at which time the Holly Police Department became involved.

Holly police were dispatched to an apartment where Rollins was said to be visiting a friend. While Linden police were en route, Holly police observed Rollins walk out of an apartment and arrested him. Holly police reported Rollins had a 9mm handgun in his waistband. That handgun was recovered, as well as another handgun that was found in the apartment.

Based on police questioning students, Argentine T ownship police were dis -patched to a home on Lahring Road in Argentine Township where a friend of Rollins lives. A rifle and shotgun reported stolen were recovered from the home.

Tigers perfect in Metro, face Holly in key league match

Fenton’s varsity girls soccer team celebrates a goal during a recent contest. Photo: David Troppens

By David Troppens When the varsity girls soc -cer season began, Matt Sullivan knew one thing about his Fen -ton squad. He knew they were going to have fun. Of course, it’ s a lot easier to do that when a team is winning, and that’s what the Ti-gers are doing as well. Fenton improved to 5-0 in Metro League action with a 5-0 victory against Clio on Monday. “We just keep moving for -ward and keep having fun,” Sullivan said. “This group of se-niors is determined to have fun and they are having fun.”

One player having a lot of

fun lately is Lauren Murphy . Murphy paced the T igers’ of -fense against Clio, recording her third three-goal hat trick of the season. Callie Dickens pro -vided Fenton’s other two goals. Kirsten Foor, Celeste Hindmon, Mallory Lehman, Murphy and Dickens had an assist each. The Tigers’ defense was im -pressive as well. Led by Shelby Murphy, Foor , Lauren Hayden and Makayla Murphy, the Mus-tangs managed 10 shots, with keeper Lauren Koscielniak making every save she needed to preserve the shutout.

Fenton baseball sweeps Dragons in Metro actionBy David Troppens The Fenton varsity baseball team used a little bit of everything to earn a double -header sweep against the Swartz Creek Dragons. The Tigers used their of fense to win an 11-9 eight-inning contest against the Dragons and then used their pitching to win the second game 6-0 in a contest shortened to five innings due to darkness.

The opening game was filled with of-fensive craziness. The T igers (2-2 in the Metro and 4-6 overall) scored four runs in the second and four in the fourth, and led 8-0 before the Dragons batted in the bottom of the fourth. However , Swartz Creek scored seven runs in the bottom of the fourth and two runs in the fifth to take a 9-8 lead. Fenton tied it up with a run in the seventh and then won the game in the

Blue Devils win extra-inning thriller vs. Montrose RamsBy David Troppens People love talking about “walk-off” wins in baseball and softball. Is it possible to have a “walk-of f” victory on a passed ball? If it is, the Lake Fenton varsity baseball team en -joyed one against Montrose. Lake Fenton captured a 9-8 victory against the Rams when Cam MacNeill scored from third base in the bottom of the eighth inning on a passed ball. Hunter Schramm started the inning with a single and MacNeill walked. James Hamilton was walked, loading the bases with no out. An out later , the bases were still loaded when Conner Steffey came to the plate. However, the first pitch he faced was a passed ball, al-lowing MacNeill to score.

Eagles shut down Lapeer, Kearsley in recent games

Linden’s Molly James (center) tries to work around a pair of Kearsley defenders. Photo: Chris Summers

By David TroppensLinden varsity girls soccer coach

Kevin Fiebernitz knows he has a young team that’s still developing.

There have been a few times when the squad has shown its youth and struggled. However , there have been other times when the team has shown what its potential truly is.

Over its last two games, the Eagles have shown how talented they are, earning shutout victories against Lap -

eer and Kearsley. The Eagles (8-3 overall) played strong defense and earned a 3-0 victory at home against Lapeer on Friday. Lin-den followed that game up with a con -test against one of the second-division squads of the Metro League, and took care of business, crushing the Kearsley Hornets 8-0. The Eagles didn’ t give Kearsley a chance to remain competitive for very long, taking a 6-0 lead into halftime.

Linden (2-2 in the Metro) eventually earned the eight-goal mercy-rule vic -tory, scoring two more goals in the sec-ond half.

Sophomore Alexis Mawhinney was the brightest offensive star against Kearesley. She scored four goals, lead-ing the way to the victory.

Sa-cred Heart retook the lead with two runs in the fifth, making it a 5-3 deficit for the Eagles. Linden responded with an eight-run sixth and a five-run seventh.

The eight-run sixth began with a Maddie Morse double. An out later , Avery Koan, Rachel Pudney and Jil -lian W right each walked, plating the fourth Linden run.

PREP REPORT

Fenton, Linden, LF compete at Brighton invite

Fenton’s Cassandra Campbell won the 300-meter hurdles at the Brighton Invitational on Saturday. Photo: David Troppens

By David TroppensThe Fenton varsity girls track and field team

had a pretty good showing at the Brighton Bull -dog Invitational on Saturday.

The Tigers had 10 individual top-eight ef forts at the 20-team event, including two firsts.

Cassandra Campbell probably had the best day among the T igers. She earned one of the firsts, taking it in the 300-meter hurdles (46.22). She also placed second in the 100 hurdles (15.13). The other first was posted by Alexa Keiser. She won the 3,200 meter run with a time of 10:59.62.

Katie Klump had the team’ s best field event performance. The freshman took second in the long jump (16-feet-0 3/4). The long jump was probably the Tigers’ best event considering team-mate Vien Sturm was fourth (15-6 3/4).

Other individual performers who earned top-eight ef forts for Fenton were Taylor Hunt -oon, sixth in the 400 (1:03.00), Klump, fifth in the 100 (13.22), Cambria T iemann, sixth in the 800 (2:26.57), Kierra R yan, eighth in the 1,600 (5:55.66) and Abbey Lee, eighth in the 3,200 (12:00.73).

Linden’s squad also was at the event, but were unable to post any top-eight individual ef forts. The Eagles had two relays place in the top eight.


By David Troppens The Holly varsity track pro -gram competed at the Michigan State University Spartan Clas -sic on Friday , and had some solid performances against some of the lar gest schools in the state of Michigan. Andrea Ruiz led the Hol -ly girls, placing third in the 1,600-meter run with a time of 5:20.89. She was one of four Holly girls to record a top 10 performance in the finals of one

of the events. Two came in field events. Aniya Semer placed seventh in the high jump 4-feet-10, while Abigail Johnston was 10th in the discus (87-11). Annah Charles earned the final top-10 effort for the girls, placing ninth in the 300 hurdles (52.13). Holly’s boys had three perfor-mances garner top-10 efforts.

TAURUSApr 21/May 21Make the most of others’ coopera-tive spirits to get things done, Tau-rus. It is always good to advocate for yourself, but more effective when others are receptive.

GEMINIMay 22/Jun 21Focusing too much on one thing is not healthy, Gemini. It is better to diversify your thinking and sur-round yourself with as many ideas and perspectives as possible.

CANCERJun 22/Jul 22A coworker may need your assis-tance in the weeks to come. You are ready and willing to put in the extra effort to help this person with no strings attached.

LEGISLATIVE ACTIVITY

MichiganVotes.org is a free, non-partisan website created by the Mackinac Center for Public Policy to provide concise, non-

partisan, plain-English descriptions of every bill and vote in the Michigan House

and Senate. This report was released Friday, April 19.

Senate Bill 61: Authorize unposted 25 mph limit on non-subdivision residential streetsTo establish an unposted speed limit of 25 mph on streets including highway segments that are designated as “local,” if the local jurisdiction has designated the road to be part of their street system, and if it is within land zoned for residential use. This would apply until 2024, and by 2023, the Michigan State Police would have to complete a speed study on roads of this type to determine what the permanent limits and posting requirements should be. Under current law, subdivision streets are automatically considered to have a 25 mph speed limit and no speed limit signs need be posted; the bill would have the effect of extending this posting exception to other residential streets that are not in subdivisions.Passed 35 to 1 in the SenateSen.
