The idea of running for 11 to12 hours in a race upsteep hills and over winding
trails — for a distance equivalentto a double marathon — would beunthinkable for most people,
But Joe and Linda Pulver, bothwell known in local runner circles,are unlike most people.
Joe is the managing director ofthe Clinton County Road Commis-sion, and Linda works for a financialservices firm in East Lansing.
The couple traveled to Reich-weiler in central Germany in lateMay for the 53-mile (85-kilometer)Keufelskopf Ultra-Trail Marathon.
Their memories of the hugephysical challenge are vivid.
Linda was the first female fin-isher, coming in 15th overall in 10hours, 33 minutes. Joe placed 47thoverall in 11 hours 44 minutes forthe 85 kilometer course.
The couple went to Germanyat the invitation of their friendMichael Becker, whose home vil-lage was the setting for the race.
“He told us, ‘Come home withme, see Germany and run thisrace’,” Joe Pulver recalled.
In addition to Becker – now anEast Lansing resident who finishedfourth overall – the American con-tingent included East Lansing resi-dent Abby Eaton, who tied Joe for47th overall in 11 hours 44 minutes.Lansing resident Dillon McCormickwas 58th in 12 hours and two min-utes.
They arrived four days beforethe race, and a tour of a portion ofthe race course was intimidating.
Linda Pulver recalled hiking a5K section of the course thatinvolved going straight up andscrambling hand over hand, fol-
lowed by long down-hills wherecompetitors could run only withsmall steps.
“I told Michael, ‘What did youget us into?’” Joe Pulver said witha laugh. Both Pulvers felt short-lived case of the jitters as theyapproached the starting line.
“When you travel that far for arace, you have to make sure youcan finish,” Linda Pulver said. “I’venever not finished a race, and I
didn’t want this to be that one.”“I think it really went better than
I expected and better than Lindaexpected.
I think we were very strong atthe end,” Joe Pulver added.
SurprisesThe course had its surprises,
including a “beverage station” at

OKEMOS — A 24-year-old MSU medical studenttold investigators hebecame angry and killedmore than a dozen smallItalian Grey-hound dogsb e c a u s ethey defe-cated on hisfloor, uri-nated on hisbed andwould notcome to him,according to court tran-scripts.
Andrew David Thomp-son , a now suspendedosteopathic medicine stu-dent, said he would throwthe dogs to the ground oragainst a wall, grab themby the neck or beat them.
“He (said) that he haskilled every single one ofthese dogs except for two,”
Ingham County AnimalControl Deputy Jodi LeB-ombard testified at a June24 hearing in 55th DistrictCourt that led to chargesbeing filed against Thomp-son.
He is charged with kill-ing 13 dogs since Septem-ber 2010.
After killing one of theItalian greyhounds, Thomp-son “kind of freaked out,”LeBombard said.
Typically, he’d put adeceased dog in a garbagebag, along with its clothes,
collars and other items,LeBombard testified.
“He would cry all theway to the Dumpster, andthrow it in the Dumpster,”she said.
Thompson faces 10felony counts of animalkilling in 55th DistrictCourt in Mason and threeadditional counts of animalkilling in East Lansing’s54B District Court.
The charges are pun-ishable by up to four yearsin prison.
He is being held at theIngham County Jail on a$500,000 bond in the EastLansing case and a$100,000 bond in the Masoncase.
His attorney, KimberlySavage, did not returntelephone or email mes-sages seeking commentlast week.
Thompson also ischarged in 55th DistrictCourt with a misdemeanor
count of animal neglectbecause at least one of thedogs, although severelyinjured, survived.
Officials said Thompsonbought the Italian grey-hounds, a small breed thattypically weighs 7 to 14pounds.
It’s not clear based oncourt transcripts how oldthe dogs were, but LeBom-bard occasionally refersto them as puppies.
Officials have not saidwhere he purchasedthem.
Authorities say the 13dogs were killed at Thomp-son’s Okemos apartmentor at an East Lansing com-plex across the street fromMSU’s campus beginningin September 2010.
MSU’s College of Osteo-pathic Medicinesuspended Thompson onJune 23, officials said, inlight of the accusationsagainst him.
Charges were autho-rized the next day.
Thompson was seeinga psychiatrist, the tran-scripts say.
The psychiatristexpressed concern thatThompson might be a sui-cide risk.
According to court tran-scripts, Animal Controlreceived an anonymouscomplaint on June 14 thatThompson owned numer-ous puppies during thepast year and they weredisappearing.
Several days later,investigators searchedThompson’s Okemos apart-ment and found a severelyinjured puppy in thecloset.
They immediatelyrushed it to a veterinaryhospital.
The badly bruised dogwas suffering from inter-nal bleeding, the tran-scripts say.
Authorities also foundevidence Thompsonbought the dogs from out-side Michigan and hadthem transported via air-plane in carriers.
Thompson previouslylived in Goodyear, Ariz.,university records show.
His roommate at theOkemos apartment, accord-ing to the transcripts, saidhe lost count of the numberof dogs that died or disap-peared.
In a June 22 interview,Thompson told LeBom-bard he killed the dogsout of frustration or angerbecause they defecated onhis floor, urinated in hisbed or wouldn’t come tohim when he called them.
“And he got frustratedthey didn’t want to staywith him,” LeBombardsaid, according to tran-scripts.
“And that made himupset.”

HASLETT — MatteoEyia , a Haslett native,headed to Los Angeles fiveyears ago, seeking musicalglory.
Now he and his Lexicon-Don bandmates are headedback east, a tour that willinclude a stop in East Lan-sing on Friday, July 15 atRick’s American Café, 224Abbot Road in East Lan-sing.
Drummer Eyia, a Has-lett high School graduate,joined founding bandmatesAlex Koons and FabianOrdorica in 2009.
Guitarist Sam Gabbardjoined about six monthsafter Eyia, and all but Eyiaare from the West Coast.
The band’s name wasinspired by the hip-hopsounds Koons andOrdorica started out creat-ing, Eyia said.
LexiconDon is a takeoffon Teflon Don, a nicknamegiven to New York mobsterJohn Gotti for his frequentcriminal charges without a
conviction.Over the years, Lex-
iconDon’s sound hasmorphed into an “elec-tro-synth-pop” live showwith a rock edge to it,which Eyia said comesfrom his and Gabbard’sbackground.
Their diverse musicalinspirations include pop
diva Mariah Carey, the“biggest influence” on Lex-iconDon’s first tour.
Eyia said he’s enjoyingthe new musical experi-ence he’s getting throughLexiconDon.
“I’ve never really donethe electronic music thing.It’s very new for me andvery fun — it’s a whole
new crowd for a dance-rock show, versus straightrock,” he said.
“A lot of people reallyget behind our music. It’sgood to play for peoplewho are singing, dancingand having a good time.”
The band is signed to

Los Angeles-based BinaryEntertainment. Eyia saidthe Binary artists are allin a very similar genredescribed as “dream-wave”, or mellow electron-ica. LexiconDon is one oftwo full bands under Bina-ry’s management.
“I’ve met a lot ofpeople, a lot of very coolmusicians, and they’vegiven me an opportunityto play big shows,” Eyiasaid.
The band has playedat several noteworthy fes-tivals, including the Cul-ture Collide Festival puton in Los Angeles byFilter Magazine and the
annual South x SouthwestFestival in Austin, Texas.LexiconDon also had thechance to play with a sideproject of Moby in NewYork in October 2010.
Their songs are gettingnotice on some TV pro-grams — “Teen Wolf”,“Road Rules” and evenone of the Kardashian sis-ters’ reality shows. “Wedefinitely seem to be get-ting a good response,”Eyia said.
The tour is in its earlystages, and so far so good.Understandably, Eyia islooking forward to playingin front of a hometownaudience — not to mentionanticipating his first visithome since last Christmas.
“It will be good to seeeveryone. It will be thehighlight of tour for me,”he said.

Gerald Richards saidAMC’s lease on the build-ing runs out Oct. 1, and it’sunclear whether AMC willmaintain its operation.
Richards said theAtlanta-based CinemaGrill plans three locationsin Michigan, including onein Ann Arbor and one inwest Michigan.
The Cinema Grill con-cept involves being able toorder food – pizza, burg-ers, etc. – and eat a mealwhile watching a movie.
Patrons may also justcome watch a movie, withticket prices in the $6 to$7.50 range.
Four other townshipbusinesses made applica-tion for the sole openlicense, including Blond-ie’s Barn in Haslett andCoffee & Friends Café inOkemos.
In other businessA timetable for the
Cinema Grill project’s com-pletion is unknown.
In other business, boardmembers:
• Passed, by a 4-3 vote,an interim organizationalstructure for the township.The reorganization – includ-ing additional media rela-tions duties for HOM-TV

station manager/cable coor-dinator Deborah Guthrie– was necessitated by thedeparture of former deputytownship manager PaulBrake.
Brake left the townshipJune 28 to become city man-ager in Grand Blanc.
• Accepted new termsfor a loan between thetownship and the DowntownDevelopment Authority forthe recently installed LEDlight fixtures in the down-town Okemos area. The
project was originally bud-geted at $244,000, but wascompleted at a cost of$190,000.
The DDA made aninitial payment onprincipal of $10,000 inApril and an additional$20,000 in a contingencyfund was not needed,bringing the total owingto $160,000.
The $20,000 in thecontingency fund wasreturned to the town-ship’s general fund.
rity Bulletin.Food assistance casel-
oads were up by an averageof 15 percent statewide.
“This report shows thatalthough it appears we arecoming out of the reces-sion very slowly, peopleare still struggling,” saidJudy Putnam, the League’sspokeswoman.
Income lagging“Their incomes are not
high enough to cover basicneeds and it’s important thatwe have this assistance inplace for low-income fam-ilies so they can get thenutrition they need to stayhealthy.”
The mid-Michiganincreases came even thoughthe Lansing area’s unem-ployment rate fell to 7.9 per-cent as late as May from 9.9percent one year earlier.
The jobless rate haslargely fallen for severalmonths.
The results of theleague’s report are reflectedat the Ingham County FoodBank.
1,114 more familiesIt served 1,114 more
families in the first fivemonths of this year com-pared with the same periodlast year, said Mary Meirn-dorf, director of the InghamCounty Food Bank, whichmanages 20 pantries in theLansing, East Lansing, Has-lett and Okemos areas.
About 110 new familiesuse the services eachmonth, Meirndorf said. The
spike has come after a fewyears of relatively steadyclient numbers, she said.
“It’s incredible thenumber of families strug-gling,” Meirndorf said.
“Unemployment hasimproved for some butthere are many who stilldo not have jobs. Peopleare having a harder timerebounding. It’s tough forfamilies now. Some of themused to be donors.”
Doug Stites, CEO of Cap-ital Area Michigan Works,said he is not surprised bythe data.
“We’ve seen the labormarket improve, jobs areopening up a little bit but itseems to be very slow,” hesaid.
“We’d like it to be faster,there are still more peoplelooking for jobs.”
But Stites said many newjob openings require spe-
cial skill sets, such as inhealth care or the informa-tion technology realm.
About 35 percent of thefood bank’s clientele isworking in some capacity,Meirndorf said.
“Some don’t have bene-fits which really hurts themor it’s just not enough pay,”she said. I think the gasprices killed us and thatincreased food prices. It’sjust one thing afteranother.

OKEMOS – JustineNakunda’s first time on anairplane came this year.
The 13-year-old Ugan-dan, a student at the NyakaAIDS Orphans Schoolfounded by Okemos resi-dent Jackson Kaguri, hasexperienced many firstsrecently in her journey torecover from burns suf-fered in an accident with aparaffin lamp.
“This is a wonderful,life-changing treat for her,”Kaguri said.
She recently spent abouttwo weeks in mid-Michi-gan while recovering fromthe first in a planned seriesof surgeries, carried outat Shriners Hospital BurnCenter in Boston.
Her visit includedattending a meeting of theRotary Club of East Lan-sing, whose members wel-comed her warmly.
Justine – her given nameis Vastina – said she wasscared during the plane ridebut got over her fear bysleeping. The hospital staffin Boston took good care ofher, she added.
“I’m looking forward tofeeling better,” she said.
Additional surgeries willbe needed to restore herfacial structure, with workaround her nose and col-larbone needed to comple-ment what has already beendone around her chin andmouth.
Justine has taken wellto her new surroundings,
enjoying chance to shopfor clothing, groceries andshoes. She misses herfamily, she said, but hasbeen able to speak to themby phone.
She’s been able to keepup with her schooling, espe-cially working on decimals,adjectives, verbs, compre-hension and improving herreading skills.
Justine will enter sixthgrade in the fall, the secondto last of the seven primaryschool levels in Uganda.
Rotary Club membersfully support Nyaka School,Kaguri said. Celebrating its10th anniversary this year,the school educates stu-dents regardless of needwho have lost their parentsto the disease.

Life is just ducky after rescueThe quick thinking of an East Lansing youngster recently helped save all but one ofa mother duck’s little ones. On June 26, 10-year-old Natalie Stroup, a fifth-grader thisfall at Whitehills School, saw a mother ducknear a storm drain in her family’s WhitehillsEstates neighborhood. The duck was walking incircles near the drain, Natalie’s mother Susanrecounted, trailed by one duckling. WhenNatalie got closer, she discovered the otherducklings had slipped into the storm drain. Theyoungster got her dad, John, to help, but eventogether they couldn’t reach the little ones. Acall to the city of East Lansing brought the aidof a city employee – whose name the Stroupsdidn’t catch – who was able to get the coveroff the storm drain and make the rescue. “Shewas sad one didn’t make it, but she was excitedthey rescued so many,” Susan Stroup said ofher daughter. In the end, Momma Duck and her offspring left together. (Above)Family reunited.(Below) Momma duck calls for help, and little one is freed and runs tothe sound of the quacking. COURTESY PHOTOGRAPHS

Iattended a Board ofEducation meeting in
East Lansing on June 27where I witnessed theapproval of the comingyear’s budget, in which theschool board wrestledbetween the needs of ourstudents versus the need tohonor the collective bargain-ing process.
I’m not against collec-tive bargaining. It servesa purpose by guaranteeingpay equity between genderand races, and representsthe needs of many to thosewho determine job qualityand compensation.
But any process thatapproves the elimination of12 teachers in a systemalready brimming withclassroom students, whiletheir peers continue toreceive salary increasesand step increases andcling to an abnormallylow health benefit pre-mium share (5.5%) seemsto be a broken one indeed.
This same process hasallowed East Lansing to con-tinue, during these economi-cally rough times, to providetheir top three earning retir-ees each year with a 50 per-cent salarygift in addition to
their retirement benefits.This amounts to an
average payout of$110,000 a year (equiva-lent to 1 ½ teaching posi-tions.) Those hired after1992 no longer have thispromise, but 52 employeescurrently in the systemstill do. This antiquated,inequitable and unafford-able retirement traditionshould have been nullifiedyears ago when we firstrecognized the economicfreefall and were makingour first employee cuts.
As a daughter of a collegeprofessor who taught for 50years, I consider teaching tobe one of the noblest profes-sions. But the sad fact is thatgiven the current economicclimate, the package negoti-ated for these professionalscan no longer be afforded.
If the teacher union vol-untarily adjusted the healthpremium share to 20 percentas several other smaller EastLansing employee groupshave done – for which ourcommunity is very thankful -it would save $362,000 (four
teaching positions.)An agreed salary pay
freeze would bring$240,000 (three teachingpositions.) Or if annual stepincreases were waived forthe year, we’d find $438,000(five teaching positions.)
These figures werereviewed at the June 27school board meeting,adding to the frustrationsof those forced to approvea budget for which theyare responsible but havelittle or no control.
Others have faith thatit will work out in theend. They believe thatthere are many movingparts that could have a pos-itive impact on the budgetbefore students are back intheir seats in eight weeks.
But in the meantime,those laid off are scram-bling for employment,principals are jugglingbodies, and families arefaced with the knowledgethat some classrooms willhave 30 or more students,with reduced teacher aidesupport. It seems obviousthat our current system isnot working.

Iwanted to share aremark overheardduring a computer
class at the HaslettLibrary.
A staff member wascomplimenting one of theparticipants: “You are get-ting really good on thecomputer.
You’re probably readyto have one at homesoon.” The participantreplied, “I already have acomputer at home. I don’thave a librarian.”
Thousands of visitorsto Capital Area DistrictLibrary branches counton us to eliminate thedigital divide. In additionto free computer instruc-
tion, we offer free accessto computers, the Internetand WiFi. We see peoplein the library every daywho have computers athome but have droppedInternet service as a wayto save money.
The value of these ser-vices was brought hometo me recently when Ivisited a private businessin Ingham County thatoffers Internet access.
Their fee was $3 per15 minutes of use. ACADL card- holder payingan annual millage of $72
could enjoy 1,050 hoursof Internet access at thelibrary for the sameamount as six hours ofuse at the private busi-ness rate.
CADL is helping tolevel the playing fieldfor job-seekers as well.Because the majority ofthe top U.S. retailersaccept only online appli-cations, many of ourpatrons are turning tolibrary computers toapply for jobs.

OKEMOS — Bobbie Hallknew that she could havea promising future in thegame of lacrosse inOkemos, even before shebegan playing the sportcompetitively.
During the spring of2006, 11-year old Hall, justfinishing up her final yearof elementary school, wascalled upon to fill in asa substitute player forher sister, Casey’s middleschool lacrosse team.
“They didn’t haveenough players so they gotme a uniform and a stickand told me to just do mybest,” Hall remembers.
“I always loved watch-ing my sister play thesport, but I didn’t thinkI could actually play withgirls who were threegrades ahead of me.”
Hall went on to score
a goal in the game asshe helped lead the middleschool team to a victory.
“I fell in love with itright then and there,” Hallsaid. “I knew from thatpoint, that was the sport Iwanted to really focus on.”
Five years later, Halljust completed one of themost accomplished sea-sons of any player through-out the state of Michigan.
The Chieftains’ sopho-more midfielder scored ateam-high 85 goals andadded 42 assists thisseason while leadingOkemos to a 19-3 record.
“She was just a hugepart of our offense, andreally played a huge rolein the success we wereable to have as a team thisyear,” Okemos coach BillPrahler said of Hall.
“A great player, team-mate and just an excep-tional kid.”
While the Chieftains did
not meet their ultimategoal of winning a thirdconsecutive state champi-onship, the team’s 19 winsmarked the highest wintotal of any girl’s lacrosseteam in the state thisspring.
“We knew that expecta-tions would be extremelyhigh coming into thisseason, and even thoughwe didn’t win the statetitle, we did have a mem-orable season and weaccomplished a lot as ateam,” Hall said.
Okemos finished theCAAC season with an unde-feated record, includinga first-place finish at thefirst-ever league tourna-ment.
The Chieftains also tookfirst-place at the RockfordInvitational Tournament,which Hall described asboth her and the team’sbest showing of the year.
“Those were the best
teams in the state we wentup against in that tourna-ment, and we were justawesome that weekend,”she said.
“We felt like we had alot to prove, and we didjust that.”
In honor of heroutstanding sophomoreseason, Hall was named allleague, all region, and wasone of two Okemos playersto be named to the Division2 All State team, along withjunior Chloe Zdybel.
Now that her highschool season has come toan end, Hall is competingon a summer travel teamas well as attending elitecamps across the Midwest.
Her long-term goal is toplay lacrosse at a Division1 University, but her short-term goal remains to getback to the state champion-ship game.
“Okemos has made aname for itself in lacrosse,
and people are beginningto know that our school isassociated for being goodin this sport,” Hall said.
“Three years ago this
program started a legacy,and I want to make surethat myself and my team-mates can continue tocarry on that legacy.”

OKEMOS — After completing a dreamseason in 2010, which consisted of aperfect 29-0 record and a second consec-utive girl’s lacrosse state championship,Okemos coach Bill Prahler knew that histeam had extremely high expectationsheading into this season.
“I didn’t think we’d be as talented, but Iknew we had the chance to be really good,and I knew that people expected us to bereally good,” Prahler said.
“I believed that we could maybe evenexceed expectations if we let our sched-ule do its magic.”
Prahler made it a point to schedule asmany games as he could against the topteams not only in the state, but through-out the Midwest.
“The girls wanted to play against thebest of the best, and I felt like that wouldcertainly benefit us as a team,” Prahlersaid of his team’s challenging schedule.“By doing that, it let us know what wehad to work on and improve at in order tomake another deep run in the state tour-nament.”
The Chieftain’s coaches’ techniqueproved to work as his team finishedthe regular season with a 17-2 record,which marked the most wins of any girl’slacrosse team in the state.
In addition to an outstanding record,Okemos also won the first inauguralCAAC league championship with a 19-6win over Grand Ledge/Waverly/CatholicCentral in the final.
But it was shortly after that gamewhen Prahler’s team experienced what hecalls “the hardest thing I’ve had to deal
with in my time coaching.”With one regular season game remain-
ing and the state playoffs less than a weekaway, four starters were dismissed fromthe Okemos team for the remainder of theseason after violating the school’s Code ofConduct Policy.
Adversity overcome“We had to pay a pretty heavy price
there and it was tough on everyoneinvolved in the program,” Prahler said.“Initially, the girls on the team weredown, but they realized it happened, it’sin the past, and that they had to moveforward.”
The Chieftains went on to win the firsttwo games of the postseason, before an11-10 regional final loss to Flint PowersCatholic, the same school Okemos haddefeated in both the 2009 and 2010 Divi-
sion 2 state championship games.Despite not winning a state title, the
Chieftain’s 19 wins was the highest wintotal of any team throughout the state.Okemos had seven players named to theall-league team this season, two of whichwere named All State members.
In three years as the Chieftainsgirls’ varsity lacrosse coach, Prahler hasposted a combined record of 73-3, andthe future continues to look bright forOkemos down the road.
“Our girls all seem to be buying intothe program and working hard to con-tinue this great tradition that has beenstarted here,” Prahler said.
“The goal is to make both our teamand our entire conference the bestthroughout the state. From the looks ofit, I think we are getting closer everyday.”
