East Grand Forks Civic Center

Northern Lights Figure Skating Club with the East Grand ForksParks and Recreation Department Proudly Present

$5.00

Welcome to our Show!!

The figure skating season is a long one to say the least! Our

skaters seldom receive time away from the rink when they are con-

stantly busy with practices, lessons, exhibitions, test sessions, and

competitions. Some of our more advanced skaters are also high

school hockey cheerleaders and Basic Skills coaches! After five

months of hard work, combined with a winter that doesn’t always

cooperate, our skaters definitely deserve a night to relax and have

some fun!

This show, and more importantly this program, would not exist

without our talented skaters, supportive parents, generous volun-

teers, dedicated coaches, the Northern Lights Figure Skating

Club, East Grand Forks Parks and Recreation and the city of East

Grand Forks. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all that

you do. You truly make this program the success that it is!

The annual ice show is the favorite part of the season for many of

our skaters! The show gives them the rare opportunity to entertain

their community and enjoy the sport they love without the pres-

sures of competing and testing. They are excited to showcase the

new skills they’ve learned this year and indulge in their artistic

side. I sincerely hope that you enjoy our show!

Please sit back and enjoy a well-deserved “Ladies Night”!

Thank You!

Beth Moe,

NLFSC Coordinator

Welcome from East Grand Forks

Parks and Recreation

The city of East Grand Forks values the accomplishments and

efforts of each of our individual skaters and synchronized teams.

The figure skating program is a very vital activity to our commu-

nity and we enjoy seeing it grow year after year.

The Annual Ice Show takes a great deal of planning and organi-

zation. We salute the Northern Lights Figure Skating Club of

East Grand Forks, all of the volunteers and the parents who put

in countless hours and ultimately make this show possible.

Without their hard work and dedication, it would not happen.

We sincerely hope you enjoy the show and the talent of all of the

skaters involved.

Warmest Regards,

Dave Aaker,

East Grand Forks Parks and Recreation Superintendent

Mark Dragich,

East Grand Forks Parks and Recreation Supervisor

on behalf of the Northern Lights Figure

Skating Club, it is with great pride in

welcoming you to our 41st annual Ice

Show!

Tonight you will have the opportunity to see all the hard work and

dedication that our skaters have invested throughout this past year.

We have a wonderful group of individuals who will be showcasing their talents to a variety of songs themed after the female genre.

We will have “SINGLE LADIES” with “HAPPY FEET” doing a little “CROCODILE ROCK.” Because it’s “LADIES NIGHT!”

I do want to take a moment to express our sincere gratitude for your undying support to our club. The Northern Lights Figure

Skating Club has built a solid foundation from the commitment of so many involved and our success is because of our many sup-

porters like you; past and present!

To our skaters who spend countless hours on the ice; from early mornings to late nights, day after day! That takes an enormous

amount of dedication and discipline! But they do it with great pride because of their love of figure skating! We are always proud

of their continued determination!

A “BIG” thank you to Beth Moe who joined NLFSC this year as our new Skating Director. I can’t say enough about her dedica-

tion to the future of this club. Beth has taken on an enormous amount of responsibility and has completed every task with pure

optimism! Her passion for skating is evident in her work. May her vision for the future of our program take us to new heights!

Our coaches, who share not only their love of skating with our girls but their experience as well! These coaches dedicate their

time to teach and guide our skaters along the wonderful path of figure skating. We have an amazing staff of coaches on board

who provide our skaters the necessary tools they need to succeed. Their dedication to this club does not go unnoticed.

Parents, without you how could these kids be where they are today? You all deserve a round of applause for your undying efforts!

First, for allowing your child this wonderful opportunity and second for your dedication to the sport as well, without you standing

beside them, supporting them their experience would not be possible! And let’s not forget the countless volunteer hours you con-

tribute to our program. You must know that this is such an essential piece to the growth and success of our club, for without you

we clearly could not exist.

The Parks & Recreation Department; Mark Dragich, Deb Hadden and Dave Aker for their unwavering support to our program.

Garry Hadden, VFW Supervisor, thank you, thank you for always taking such good care of our arena. Your support to our club

has been so appreciated throughout the years! You’re one of a kind! We will miss you tremendously and are so appreciative that

we had the opportunity to work together, it has been so enjoyable! We wish you well on your retirement!

Last, but not least our magnificent community for the outpouring of support to not just our club but to ALL of our area youth

activities. I am a believer that together we are sure to make a difference in the lives of our youth.

We thank you for sharing the evening with us; now let’s sit back, relax and ENJOY the show!

Shawn Egeland, President,

Northern Lights Figure Skating Club

Thank you to all of our skaters for

working so hard this year.

WE aRE PRoud oF you!It’s the dedication of the coaches, skaters and

their parents that make our program a success.

Team North dakota

Danielle Larson, Hanna Stevenson, Kate Copperud,

Laurel Peabody, Kendra Nagle, Sarah Smith,

Mallory Olson, Emilea Berhow & Kendra Gullickson

Team North Dakota was formed in the fall of 2012. The team wasinitially created as a student organization at the University Of NorthDakota, which meant that all team members were to be students ofUND. After further research, the decision was made to forgo the stu-dent organization route and instead create a collegiate team that anyfull-time student could participate in, regardless of what collegehe/she attended. The change brought forth the opportunity for stu-dents attending colleges in the surrounding areas to participate. The first season was a building year for the team. They did not com-pete, but instead focused their efforts on learning the rules andrequirements, working together and most importantly building aname for the team. Their debut performance was Sunday, January20th, 2013 at the Northern Star International Synchronized SkatingCompetition in East Grand Forks, MN. Their exhibition performancewas received with overwhelming support from the community, theskaters and even the judges.

The mission of Team North Dakota is to provide post-secondary ath-letes the opportunity to continue their skating careers with a teamthat values education, teamwork, sportsmanship and the advance-ment of synchronized skating.

Senior Farewell SpecialBack Row:

Middle Row:

Paige Vetter, Lisa Yanish; Front Row: Jordyn Weber

I always knew this day would come

We'd be standing one by one

With our future in our hands

So many dreams so many plans

I always knew after all these years

There'd be laughter there'd be tears

But never thought that I'd walk away

With so much joy but so much pain

And it's so hard to say goodbye

But yesterday's gone we gotta keep moving on

I'm so thankful for the moments so glad I got to

know ya

The times that we had I'll keep like a photograph

And hold you in my heart forever

I'll always remember you

Another chapter in the book cant go back but you

can look

And there we are on every page

Memories I'll always save

Up ahead only open doors

Who knows what we're heading towards

I wish you love I wish you luck

For you the world just opens up

But it's so hard to say goodbye

Yesterday's gone we gotta keep moving on

I'm so thankful for the moments so glad I got to

know ya

The times that we had I'll keep like a photograph

And hold you in my heart forever

I'll always remember you

Everyday that we had all the good all the bad

I'll keep them here inside

All the times that we shared every place every-

where

You touched my life

Yeah one day we'll look back we'll smile and we'll

laugh

But right now we just cry

Cause it's so hard to say goodbye

Yesterday's gone we gotta keep moving on

I'm so thankful for the moments so glad I got to

know ya

The times that we had I'll keep like a photograph

And hold you in my heart forever

I'll always remember you

I'll always remember you

I'll always remember you

CLASS OF 2013

Chandler

Kallock is the

17 year old

daughter of

Rhonda and

David

Kallock and

has been

skating with

the Northern

Lights Figure

Skating Club

since the age

of six. She knew she wanted to be a

figure skater when she attended her

first ice show at the age of five. “I

saw all of the pretty skating dresses

and decided I wanted to do that too!”

Performing and the artistic expres-

sion of figure skating are the two

things she loves the most about skat-

ing. Her favorite memory from her

skating years is skating with her Dad

when she was little. “My Dad would

skate with me every night on an out-

door rink,” she told us. “He worked

with me on my backward crossover

for weeks!” Chandler will miss the

excitement of competitions, being

with her friends on the ice and hav-

ing Melissa Olson and Jarmila Solc

as her coaches. She would like to tell

the younger skaters to have confi-

dence on the ice and to always smile.

Chandler plans to attend the

University of North Dakota and

major in Communications.

A Tribute To Our Seniors

Paige Vetter isthe 18 year olddaughter ofBeth andClarence Vetterand has beenskating with theNorthernLights FigureSkating Clubsince she wasfour years old.When askedwhat she lovedmost about skating, Paige replied, “It’s agood way to get exercise, express yourselfand be with your friends all at the sametime.” Although she found it hard tochoose just one, her favorite skatingmemories include her trips to the RedRiver Valley Classic competition inMoorhead, MN each February. Paige willmiss skating in the Annual Ice Show, “theweek leading up to the show is stressful,but it’s always so much fun and it’s allworth it once the show finally arrives,”she said. Paige would like to tell theyounger skaters that practice makes per-fect, having a positive attitude goes along way and to remember to alwayshave fun and enjoy your time on the ice.“There’s no point in skating if you don’tlike it or if you aren’t having fun. Skatingshould definitely be fun!” Paige plans toattend the University of North Dakota inthe fall and is undecided on a major atthis point, but is leaning toward BusinessAdministration or Psychology. She wouldlike to pursue a career as a Health UnitCoordinator, Pediatrician or OBGYN.

Lisa Yanish is

the 17 year old

daughter of

Roberta and

Tim Yanish and

has been skat-

ing with the

Northern Lights

Figure Skating

Club since she

was seven

years old. The

Annual Ice

Show is what Lisa loves most about skating.

She enjoys skating with her friends in front

of the crowd, “the atmosphere is so amaz-

ing,” she told us. Her favorite skating mem-

ory dates back to 8th grade when she trav-

eled to Michigan for a competition with her

synchronized skating team. She said her

favorite part of the trip was competing,

relaxing with her friends and stopping in

Chicago to eat at the famous Ed Debevic’s

restaurant. Lisa told us she will miss being

a part of the Annual Ice Show because it is

her favorite part of the year. “Never give up

and always make it fun,” is the advice she

gives to the younger skaters. She said

learning new jumps and spins is difficult,

but if you keep practicing you will get bet-

ter. Lisa plans to attend Northland

Community and Technical College in East

Grand Forks and is undecided on her

major at this time. She is interested in the

nursing program, but has yet to make a

final decision. Lisa is looking forward to

the years ahead, attending local competi-

tions and, of course, the Ice Show!

old daughter

of Nicole and

Troy Weber

and has been

skating with

the Northern

Lights Figure

Skating Club

since she was

just three

years old. Jordyn loves all of the peo-

ple involved in skating, not just her

fellow skaters, but the parents and

coaches as well. Her favorite memory

is from the 2012 Red River Valley

Synchronized Skating Classic

Competition in Moorhead when the

Metallites bested both the Bismarck

and Border Blades teams. Jordyn told

us she will really miss synchronized

skating, especially her team, and the

feeling she gets on competition day,

“There is nothing better.” She would

like all of the younger skaters to have

fun and get involved. “The memories

you make in skating are going to stay

with you forever!” She would like to

thank everyone that supported her

throughout her skating career, “I’m

going to miss you all.” Jordyn is cur-

rently keeping her options open and

has not made any permanent deci-

sions regarding her future plans.

Shelby Cashis the 18 yearold daughterof Robin andWally Cashand has beenskating withthe NorthernLights FigureSkating Clubsince she wasfour yearsold. Spendingtime with herfriends andlearning new and fun routines are thethings that Shelby loves most aboutskating. When we asked her tochoose a favorite skating memory shereplied, “There are so many!”Somehow, hiding from the coaches inthe boy’s bathroom, at the Civic, withthe rest of the synchro team was thememory that stood out. When askedwhy they were hiding she replied,“So we wouldn’t have to run.”Shelby said she will miss absolutelyeverything about skating. “It hasbeen my life, seven months out of theyear for the past 14 years.” Shewould like to tell the younger skatersto act-out their artistic programs,make memories and “enjoy everymoment you get on that ice!” Shelbywould like to express a heartfeltthank you to “all you mommies” fortaking care of her and treating herlike one of your own. She would alsolike to thank everyone for supportingher through the years, “I love youall!” Shelby plans to attendNorthland Community and TechnicalCollege in East Grand Forks andenroll in the nursing program.

Congratulations Skaters!!The title of ‘United States Figure Skating Gold Medalist’ is the

highest honor a skater can achieve. One earns this title by passing

the Gold Dance test, Senior Moves in the Field test or the Senior

Freeskate test. Years of training, dedication and hard work go into

passing these tests and many skaters never achieve the honor.

This year, the Northern Lights Figure Skating Club is proud to

have not one, but three skaters become U.S. Figure Skating Gold

Medalists! Ellie Akerlind passed her fourth and final Gold Dance

test on December 8, 2012 and passed her Senior Moves in the

Field test on March 9, 2013 becoming a double gold medalist.

Laurel Peabody, a Freshman at the University of North Dakota

and an alumnus of the Northern Lights Figure Skating Club

passed her fourth and final Gold Dance test on March 10, 2013.

Brea Egeland passed both her final Gold Dance and the Senior

Moves in the Field tests on March 10, 2013 earning the title of

double gold medalist.

The Northern Lights Figure Skating Club congratulates Ellie,

Laurel and Brea on their tremendous achievement and skating

success! In honor of their accomplishments, the Northern Lights

Figure Skating Club will present Ellie, Laurel and Brea with the

official United States Figure Skating Gold Medalist Jacket and

will honor them with a special on-ice presentation during

Sunday’s show.
