B y Hillary D i c k e r s o n Staff Writer GAYLORD — Over and above the cost of shoes, team sweatshirts and driving to and from away sporting events, parents with student athletes at Gaylord C o m m u nity Schools ( G C S ) now face the possibility of having to pay up before students can suit up to participate in sports. The district's finance committee Tuesday agreed to recommend institution of a "pay to participate" program at G C S beginning next school year. The announcement comes as part of a many-month effort to balance the budget

for the 2001-02 school year. Still reeling from the effects of a projected budget deficit of $401,640 for the current school year, the district has implemented a zerobased budgeting process for the upcoming year. Acknowledging the board dictated the athletic budget be cut — first by $100,000 and then adjusting that figure to $50,000 for the current school year — committee m e m b e r s Richard Hoyner, Gerald Campbell and Chris Collins in their action Tuesday assured the 2001-02 athletic budget will not go untouched. Athletic director Karen Leinaar had raised about $50,000 to offset the mandate to cut

expenses, but because many of those f u n d s were earmarked for a specific sport — contrary to permissible accounting practices — only $17,000 could actually be, credited to the athletic ledger, leaving $33,000 in cuts to be made That discussion was high on the committee's agenda Tuesday as Supt. Carl Hilling presented the district's $24,179,840 overall budget, which is sure to affect almost every aspect of 3Sstnct operations. Hilling explained the district started at zero and held several meetings with each department and each school S e e Board, p. A11

For city government, though, the time is now. Over 3,000 people tap Gaylord's municipal water supply 24 hours each day. 365 days each year. Perhaps most importantly, those 3,000 people live and work downstream from where industry has already established itself. Gaylord's Air Industrial Park, as initiated by the Industrial Development Corporation in 1969, houses everything from transportation services and machine shops to such things as manufacturing of electronic circuit boards and plastic products. The water flow in the aquifer moves directly from the southwest, under those businesses, toward the city's three wells. "That was county land. We traded land and gave them money," said Joe Okrei, former m e m b e r of the S e e Wellhead, p. A10

"I think that was probably true." said Otsego County Commissioner Doug Johnson. "I think the other thing that played into the equation was the availability of property. There were in that area larger parcels and the county o w n e d them.

& trying to minimize any chance for contamination. But, like its predecessor, the park sits just outside of the depression cones created by Gaylord's three water wells. "We look for a couple different things," said Duff, reflecting on the fact the city is developing a second industnal park in that area "We look for land that's close to an existing industnal base. We felt it made more sense to keep industrial growth all in an industrial area instead of looking out into a new one. Insofar as water quality is concerned, the city feels c o m f o r t able because the new industrial park will be developed with water and sewer removing the n s k of contamination" In the meantime, the city has smaller fish to fry Monthly operating reports submitted t o the M D E Q for January.

This is what we've discussed several times with the community, identifying sources and attempting to achieve compliance voluntanly. and if that d o e s n ' t result in the desired effect, then more drastic considerations should be taken such as drafting of ordinances in the community limiting the use of salt in water softening That would place the burden on homeowners and users to contact the manufacturers to see if there's an alternative " "W^hat we want to do is find out if we can do it in a peaceful m a n n e r , w o r k i n g with p e o p l e before e n f o r c e m e n t , " said Duft, noting he may first go to agents installing water s o f t e n e r s "We think they'll b e supportive " F i f t y y e a r s ago the city's largest industrial businesses man-

Board ponders controversial plan Cont'd from p. A1 building to draw the line between necessities and extras. If the budget is approved at the Monday. June 11 school board meeting, the next step will be to monitor spending in all areas dunng the 2001-'02 school year to make sure that there is no excess in spending In her presentation of the athletic budget to the committee Tuesday. GCS Athletic Director Karen Leinaar reported that after examining all options, staff decided student athletes will have to "pay for the opportunity to be part of the membership of a team" and also pay a fee to help defray the cost of drivers hired to transport teams to and from events. According to Leinaar's figures, high school athletes will pay $50 per sport to participate while those at the middle school will pay a $25 participation fee. For the year, a $200 family cap will be put in placc to help families with more than one child in sports. On the transportation side of the issue, high, school athletes will pay a $30 fee per sport and middle school students a $15 fee The trans-

portation fee includes a family cap of $125. "Looking across the state, that is becoming more and more the norm." Leinaar told the committee Tuesday. John Johnson, communications director for the Michigan High School Athletic Association (MHSAA), said that although no surveys have recently been conducted about pay-to-participate fees and the number of school districts implementing them, the MHSAA estimates feweT than 100 of the 749 member schools have some form of a fee in place at this time. Johnson noted that a few yean; ago there was fear more schools would resort to charging fees, but so far that does not seem to be the case. Addressing the fact some families cannot afford such a fee. even with the caps. Leinaar said scholarships and volunteer opportunities are planned so everyone who wishes to participate in sports may do so. Jackie Allsopp. vice president of the Gaylord Athletic Boosters Club, said boosters at a number of their meetings were made aware of the possibility of fees being charged for

athletics. She said she docs not believe the charges will hinder the athletic programs and noted that, as always, the boosters will fund scholarships at the end of the year to help defray the costs for certain students participating. "It's not the best way for students to be able to participate, but we understand with the diminished budget that something has to be done. It's difficult." Allsopp said. Leinaar said she does not see the implementation of the fees as taking opportunities away from students because of the scholarships and volunteer time that will be offered to students who cannot afford the fees. "This is a challenge. It's not the most positive challenge, but it's a challenge that still fits with what 1 believe i n " Committee member Gerald Campbell discussed the problem he believes could result from refemng to the participation fees under the "pay-to-play" label. Parents may be under the assumption that because they are paying a fee. their child will be given game time no matteT what, commented Campbell That would not always be possible, he added.

Carl Hilling day, June 11. prior to the 7 p.m. regular school have v owed to work within the confines of the board meeting in the school.

Board member Rich Hoyner suggested the importance of emphasizing the fact the coach likely spent no less time with the non-game time student during regular practice times. Hoyner said such an assurance would offset any possible misunderstandings which could lead to the assumption the new fees could be used to buy an athlete's way into the game. Hoyner said he would encourage an inservice with parents and players to explain why the change is vital for the district as a whole. In addition to the participation fees. Leinaar outlined for the committee where reductions are planned in expenditures. She will take a pay freeze and lock her salary at $57,912.50, this year's level. Additionally, the district will also eliminate five coaching positions. With the exception of the one cheerleadmg coach at the middle school, the other four — all assistant's positions — include track, baseball, softball and football coaches which were vacant already. It is also being recommended that Leinaar's secretary be reduced to half-time. The coaching staff has been advised their

spending will be absolutely limited to needs such as officials, transportation. scorebooks, game balls and necessary safety equipment. "Coaches are getting a list of things that aren't paid for," Leinaar told the committee. "If everything goes as planned we're going to be balanced." Tina Powers, executive director of business and finance for GCS. said that as part of the monitoring process throughout the school year, the district needs to be proactive by watching gate receipts for football and basketball games, the two biggest generators of revenue. If receipts are off from previous years, the district needs to take measures to curb that trend before it is too late Leinaar told the committee of fund-raising initiatives, including an Alpenfest raffle and a Rock-A-Thon at the high school on the last day of school, already underway to offset the cost of athletics. The recommendation to implement the fees will come at Monday's budget hearing, which begins at 6:30 p.m. at the Gaylord Board of Education building.

Hagel has scored all f i v e of Gaylord's goals lp the postseason as of Postt^is writing. including the game-winner in the second overtime against Cadillac last Thursday. and all f b u r goals gainst Mike Dunn Retoskey in t i e district finals on Saturday. And the junior tfcs accomplished this while being double- or triple-teamed most of the time, and while talented junior teammate Jenny Weber, the team's second leading scorer this season, has been sidelined with a severely-sprained a^ikle. ; A n d w h o can forget Hagel's Nfcroics in the fell during football season? H e r field goal in the final minute against Petoskey — w h o else? — gave the Blue Devils a dramatic 9-7 victory in the final game of the regular season. Tjfre following week, in Gaylord's fjrst-ever playoff appearance on t*e gridiron, Hagel made all four cJf her extra-point attempts to assure the Blue Devils a 28-28 tie with Fremont in regulation. ! In the vernacular of sport, hfagel is what one would call a "Jnoney player." Which means that she p e r f o r m s under pressure.

Summertime means traveling with pets WASHINGTON — Summertime means vacation, when people will be traveling by car, train, ship and plane with their loved ones — including their pets. The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) has travel guidelines to help make your trip as safe and smooth as possible for you and your pet. 'Traveling with a pet requires thoughtful, advanced preparation." said Nancy Peterson, HSUS companion animals issues specialist. "In your pet's best interest, be sure he enjoys traveling before taking him on a long trip and be sure he will be a welcomed guest at your destination. If you decide to take your pet on vacation, schedule a veterinary exam before the trip. If your pet needs a health certificate, your veterinarian can issue one. Carry it and proof of a rabies vaccination so you have documentation in hand in case any problems arise. The following are just some tips on traveling with your pet. For more details, including what pet supplies you should consider for your trip, go to the HSUS Web site at wwwhsus.org. . TRAVELING BY CAR • If he is accustomed t o one. secure your canine with a restraining harness (that works like seatbelts w o r k for people) to ensure Fido is safe during travel. Or place your dog in a well-ventilated, hard-sided kennel.'Always keep cats in carriers while traveling by car for your safety as well as theirs. • Don't allow your pet to stick his or her head outside the window. Doing so can subject your pet to injury by flying debris or illness by having cold air forced into his lungs. Never transport a pet in the back o f a pickup truck. • Stop frequently to allow your pet to exercise and eliminate. Never piermit your pet to leave the car without a collar. ID tag and leash. • Never leave your pet unattended in a parked car. On warm days, the temperature in your car can rise to 120 degrees in minutes, even with the windows slightly opened. Also, an animal left alone in a car is an open invitation t o pet thieves.

m

Animal T, R- A. C K , 3 % these animals are Killed, injured or lost each year. Most injuries to animals traveling by airplane are due to extreme heat or cold, poorly ventilated cargo holds, mishandling by baggage personnel, and damage t o kennels. • The HSUS i ecommends pets not be transported by air unless absolutely necessary. If you must travel by air. cail the airline t o check health and immunization requirements for your pet. • TSke small animals in carriers that fit under the seat on board with you. Contact airlines to find out specific requirements, including type and measurements of carrier, for taking your pet on board. • Use direct flights t o avoid mistakes that occur during airline transfers and possible delays in getting your pet off the plane. • Notify the captain and at least one flight attendant that your pet is traveling in the cargo hold. If the captain knows there are pets on board, he or she may take special precautions. • Fit your pet with a collar that can't get caught in carrier doors. Instead of a dangling tag, affix an identification on the collar and carrier with your name, address and phone number, as well as a temporary travel ID with the address and phone number where you can be reached at your travel destination.

TRAVELING BY PLANE More than 500.000 animals are transported by air every year, according to the Airline Transportation Association (ATA). Tragically, an estimated 5.000 of

TRAVEL BY SHIP OR TRAIN • With the exception of assistance dogs, only a few cruise lines accept pets. Contact cruise lines in advance about their policies and kennel facilities. If you must use the ship's kennel, make sure it is protected from the elements. • Amtrak currently does not accept pets for transport unless they are assistance dogs. There may be smaller U.S. railroad companies that permit animals on' board their trains. Many trains in Europe allow pets. If you decide not to travel with your, pet, consider hiring a professional pet sitter or placing him in a boarding kennel. Tips on selecting a pet sitter and kennel can be found on The HSUS Web site.

Register now Nominations accepted until July 20 to compete in Olympics for 'Senior Citizen of the Year' in state MIDLAND — More than 1,500 men and women, ages 50 and older, will compete in the Michigan Senior Olympics in Midland Aug. 5-9. The spirit and abilities of the athletes go far in dispelling the myths about the elderly — replacing those with the growing perception that aging is in the mind, and that a healthy lifestyle is a choice, said organizers. In fact, many people aged 50, 60, 70 and even older, can outrun, out-swim, out-bike, and out-throw athletes half their age. claim organizers. They are the living proof that healthy lifestyles are available to almost anyone who "goes for it." They are what the organization. Michigan Senior Olympics, is all about. The medal events held during the games include archery, badminton. three-on-three basketball, bowling, cycling, golf, horseshoes, race walk, racquetball. road race, shuffleboard. slowpitch softball, swimming, table tennis, tennis, track and field, triathlon and volleyball.

"Michigan is home to many active seniors committed to helping others and building our

communities," said Alexander. "Winners in this annual awards competition come from all walks of life. We are looking for those unsung heroes who strive to be of service to their peers and community."
