WILLIAMSTON — Adriftsince last June, the Red Ce-dar Recreation Association(RCRA) appears to havefound a home, at least forthe next year.
Officials from the cityand Meridian Townshipwere working on a deal thatwould have Meridian run thenon-profit recreation groupwhile the city assumes con-trol of the group’s finances.
The City Council unan-imously endorsed the con-cept in its Feb. 14 meeting,although a formal contractcity and township leadersmust OK a final contract.
The arrangement will al-low the RCRA to functionmuch as it has for the pasttwo decades, officials said.
Meridian offered to han-dle the group’s admin-istrative tasks for a flatfee of $16,000 — about athird of what the RCRA paidfor administration throughthe Williamston Communi-ty Schools, a representativesaid. The group is essential-ly self-supporting.
“I think it’s a fair price,”Curtis Zaleski, the group’spast president, told thecouncil last week. “(And)I’m convinced that will wewill be able to maintain con-trol.”
The RCRA, which pro-vides recreational opportu-nities for hundreds of localyoungsters annually, oper-ated as part of the schooldistrict until last spring,
when the school board end-ed the arrangement becauseof concerns over liabilityand other issues.
The group approachedthe city last spring aboutpossibly operating under thecity’s tax exemption, and acommittee has been work-ing on the issue over thepast few months.
Meridian Township,which already runs severalyouth and adult recreationprograms, recently offeredto step in.
The township’s proposalcovers the RCRA’s core pro-grams — baseball and soft-ball, basketball and tacklefootball. A parent advisorygroup would continue tooversee the programs.
The council last weekagreed to accept responsi-bility for youth recreation inthe area generally coveredby the Williamston schooldistrict and maintain thegroup’s funds in a restrictedaccount.
City Manager Tim Allardsaid the deal with Meridianmakes sense, given thetownship’s experience withyouth recreation and basiceconomies of scale. Thetownship already has thenecessary staff and comput-er software and can buy ma-terials for cheaper, he said.
“We have a very shorttime frame to work with,”Allard told the council. “Iwas not confident that thecity at this time is capableof putting on a good (recre-ation) program.”
WILLIAMSTON — Need to brushup on your Shakespeare?
The “Reduced Shakespeare Com-pany” — otherwise known as SharonNolen’s theater prodution class atWilliamston High School — is will-ing to help.
But be forewarned: In style anddelivery, the school’s ambitious pro-duction of “The Complete Works ofWilliam Shakespeare” is hardly yourparents’ Shakespeare. It’s a fast-paced, interactive funfest, sort oflike Shakespeare 2.0 — with a twist.
“The kids are having fun with it,”said Nolen, a language arts teacherwho runs the theater program. “Ev-eryone is having a good time. It justmakes Shakespeare fun for kids.”
Performances are set for 7:30p.m. Feb. 24, 25 and 26 and at 3 p.m.Feb. 27 in the McGoff PerformingArts Center. Tickets are $7 for adultsand $5 for students.
Nolen said she drew the idea forthe play from a former student, Mi-cah Greene, who teaches theater atWest Bloomfield High school.
“I’d never thought about doing itbecause it’s usually done with threeor four people, and we have a cast of36,” she said. “But Micah said he’dtried it and that it worked well.”
In the Williamston production,five narrators interact with the audi-ence and explain what’s happening.
“Hamlet” is done four times, in-cluding once backwards. And theproduction features two song-and-dance numbers, including a rap
for “Othello” and a secret, comicalscene adapted from a music video.One character has five costumechanges.
The cast includes a fair number ofmale actors, some of whom are ex-celling at the dance routines, includ-ing Kody Ware, who plays Adam;Juliet, Othello and Ophelia; and NateMassa, who plays Daniel.
The students have spent long
hours preparing for the production.At a recent rehearsal, they were hav-ing so much fun they asked to staypast the scheduled quitting time.
Seniors Sara Delany, Juliet Mor-gan and Charlotte Foran are co-di-recting the final full production oftheir high school careers.
“I’m extremely sad,” Delany said.“It’s been our life for the past fouryears. You don’t want it to end.”
Williamston High School students Jessie Frawley (top) and Kody Warerehearse a scene from “The Complete Works of William Shakespeare,”which opens Feb. 24 at the high school auditorium.

After many yearsin this business,we’re still sur-
prised when asked, “Howdo you manage to continueto publish a newspaperwithout selling it on a sub-scription basis?”
The answer is simple.Fact is, most of us are ac-customed to the traditionaldaily newspaper that wepay to receive at our homeor business.
Lansing CommunityNewspapers exists on anentirely different – althoughnot uncommon – businessmodel. We distribute thisnewspaper to nearly everyhome in this area at no
charge. We subsist almostexclusively on revenue gen-erated through advertisingsales.
Our broad delivery al-lows us to reach a largeraudience than subscriptionnewspapers. And our newsis distinctly local; in fact,the majority of the news inthis newspaper is submittedby readers like you.
Simply put, lots of folksread the paper because it isrelevant to their lives.
It’s been a successfulbusiness model, and itmakes this newspaper andits 11 sister newspapers inthe Lansing area a good ex-ample of how to operatefree weekly newspapers.
That doesn’t change thefact that publishing a news-paper today costs morethan ever. Our two largestexpenses are the printingand distribution of thisnewspaper.
As we have in the past,we are promoting our vol-untary pay program. Thiscolumn is an effort to ex-
plain what this program is,and isn’t.
The voluntary pay pro-gram allows you and otherreaders to make a contri-bution of $13 for 26 weeksor $26 for 52 weeks, and ifyou choose, tip your carrieran additional amount. Theamount equates to 50 centsper issue. An envelope ex-plaining the program is in-serted in this issue.
We won’t gloss over twokey issues:
• Yes, the money raisedthrough the program makesa difference, assists us inkeeping advertising costslower and makes it easier tocontinue to operate the pa-
per at an acceptable profit.• This program is volun-
tary. If you enjoy the news-paper, or a component ofthe newspaper, and if youexperience good, consistentdelivery of the newspaper,we hope you participate.
However, if you have de-livery problems, or for anyother reason are unhappywith the newspaper, we askyou to do two things. First,don’t participate in the pro-gram. Second, call us andgive us a chance to solveyour delivery problem orgain an understanding ofwhat kind of local informa-tion would interest you
Finally, understand that
delivery of this newspaperto you is not contingent onthis program. You will con-tinue to receive your news-paper regardless of whetheryou choose to participate inthis program.
Thank you for your con-tinued support of this news-paper. We are successfulbecause of the support ofyou, our readers and adver-tisers.
If you have any ques-tions, or concerns re-garding the voluntary payprogram, please call 1-866-226-1812.

WILLIAMSTON — Thedates are set and theframework is in place.
Now, all organizersneed to make the city’snew Riverfront Festival ofArts become a reality aresponsors, volunteers andartists. A lot of each wouldbe nice, they said.
“We need volunteers,”said Brooke Locke, a lo-cal business owner whohas taken a lead planningrole for the festival, a newtake on the summer festi-val known as ArtFest.
“We’re trying to get peo-ple together and dividethem off into different cat-egories, such as entertain-ment and vending;”
The festival will runAug. 6-7, right after thechamber’s Dog Days ofSummer event on Aug. 4-5,in McCormick Park.
In its heyday, Art Festdrew thousands of people
and dozens of artists toMcCormick Park in July.But the festival folded in2007 amid financial andvolunteer problems.
City leaders agreed torevive the festival as a two-day event in August andtie it with the Chamberof Commerce’s Dog Daysevent.
Given the growth of thearts community in Wil-liamston and the popu-larity of the old festival,organizers expect as manyas 80-100 artists will signup to display their work.
Musical entertainmentat the park’s new band-shell could help set thefestival apart from othersin the area, Locke said.
“It’s going to be a verylarge event this year,”Locke said. “Our goal isto have entertainment ev-ery hour, on the hour, overtwo straight days.”
The steering committeeis working with MSU Fed-eral Credit Union to bring
in Three Men and a Tenor,a Michigan-based ensem-ble. And the committeewants to have a wide rangeof entertainment, Lockesaid.
“I’ve got people sendingme CDs and asking, ’canwe play?,’” he said.
Such a big event willneed a lot of volunteersupport, officials say.
The steering commit-tee asks that anyone whowants to help with plan-ning or organizing contactLocke at (517) 655-5793,or Greg Milliken at (517)655-2774.
Artists can sign up todisplay their waresthrough the city’s Web siteor by calling Locke or Mil-liken. The event also needsbusiness sponsorships.
Anyone who donates$200 or more can makethe check payable to theWilliamston BeautificationFund if they want to makeit tax-deductible, Lockesaid.

Questions budgetAt the Feb. 8 budget
hearing of the WilliamstownTownship Board, I ques-tioned two increases. Town-ship Supervisor MickeyMartin had requested a ten-fold increase in her Web sitebudget, and had more thandoubled her request for re-assessment money. She al-ready receives a salary for
serving as assessor in addi-tion to her supervisor’s sal-ary.
Clerk Ernie Gaffner saidthat copies had been put out,but when people were askedto raise their hand if theyhad a copy of the budget,only one hand went up. Inan earlier e-mail exchange, Iurged Gaffner to put the pro-posed budget on the town-ship Web site, but by the
time of the hearing, onlylast year’s budget was there.Why must Martin increaseher spending? How can thepublic offer input when theycan’t see the budget?
Al LeBlancWilliamstown Township
A variety of funOn occasion, I admit I’m
guilty of having a “bad mom
moment,” when I could’vemade a better parental deci-sion. In 2007, my daughter,Sydney, then just 10 yearsold, learned of auditions forthe 2008 Williamston AreaBeautification Fund’s vari-ety show. I tried to talk herout of it. She was young,fresh from her performanceas one of the Dorothys inthe fourth/fifth-grade play,“The Wizard of Oz.”
I feared she’d be disap-pointed, rejected or that itwas really just for seasonedadults. But she was deter-mined. On audition nightI was tied up at work.Sydney arranged transpor-tation from Grandma andGrandpa. Well, she audi-tioned and this past week-end performed in her fourthshow. I’m proud of her andgrateful to musical Director
Stan Takis, Director DianeSimonds and the perform-ers. She may be the young-est performer but she isheld to the same standardsas anyone else.
Every year Sydney be-comes part of this creativelygenerous performing fami-ly. I’m glad Sydney didn’tlisten to me four years ago.
