BWL gets green light on new plant
The Lansing Board of Water& Light has received the permitsit needs to begin constructionon a $182 million electric andsteam plant in Lansing’s REOTown area.
The permits from the state’sDepartment of Natural Resourc-es and Energy give the utilitycompany the green light to move
forward with plans to constructa natural gas-powered plant thatwill replace the coal-fired MooresPark Steam Plant.
The BWL next plans to securefunding for the project by issuingbonds, utility spokesman MarkNixon said.
Construction is scheduled tostart in the late spring or earlysummer of 2011, and the plantwould be operational by early2013.
The project will employ 1,000construction workers, and ap-proximately 180 utility employeeswill work at the plant.
The facility also will expandthe BWL’s ability to sell steam tocustomers in the downtown Lan-sing area.
“We are now the first utility inMichigan to receive a permit for amodern, clean, efficient generat-ing plant that will actually reduce
emissions,” BWL General Manag-er J. Peter Lark said in a state-ment. “By switching to naturalgas and closing an old, coal-firedsteam plant, we will avoid burning139,000 tons of coal each year.”
The construction of the powerplant is “terrific news,” said TimDaman, president and CEO ofthe Lansing Regional Chamber ofCommerce.
“I think this will be one ofthe key drivers of economic de-velopment and sustainable futuregrowth,” Daman said.

BWL:Utility willsell bondsContinued from page 1
the leadership of (Lark) andthe board in putting this to-gether in an aggressive timeframe. It’s good for the re-gion,” Daman said.
Raising moneyThe next step in the proj-
ect will be to raise fundsto pay for the construction,Nixon said. That will bedone by offering bonds onWall Street.
The BWL will benefitfrom its strong bond rating,Nixon said.
The utility has a AA-Moody’s Investors Servicebond rating, which is con-sidered to be a high qualitybond.
“We’ve held our own dur-ing the Great Recessionwhile other utilities did losesome (rating status),” Nix-on said.
“We’re quite proud of thefact the bond rating did notsuffer.”
Bids to be soughtOnce funds have been
raised, the BWL will beginseeking bids for theproject.
Nixon said the BWLhopes local contractors willcompete to work on theproject, but the BWL isn’tpromising work to localcompanies.
“We have to look at what(the contractors) are offer-ing in terms of value to usand to our customers,” Nix-on said.
Once constructed, theREO Town CogenerationFacility will reduce green-house gas emissions by 50percent compared with theexisting Moores Park plant.
The facility also will re-duce the emissions of airpollutants such as mercuryand sulfur and nitrogencompounds.
The plant will have a so-lar panel array and wind tur-bines on the facility’s roof,adding to the amount of re-newable energy generatedby the BWL.

was attended by graduates’friends, family and support-ers, as well as several peoplenow participating in the pro-gram.
Since the program beganin 2004, 216 people have com-pleted it, officials said.
Sobriety court offers peo-ple convicted of drunkendriving intensive treatment,community service and pro-bation in lieu of a jail sen-tence.
It is one of 25 in thestate, according to the StateCourt Administrative Office.54A District Court in Lansingis among those with similarprograms.
Participants must submitto frequent drug and alcoholtests, undergo counseling andpay the cost of the program.
Those costs vary, but Kel-ley has paid more than $2,800
in costs and fines, accordingto court records.
Jordan Cupp, 27, who en-tered sobriety court abouta year ago after his seconddrunken driving conviction,said staying sober hadchanged his personality andhelped him become orga-
nized and focused.Cupp, who said he’s been
an alcoholic since he was14, now works full time as awelder and is taking classesat Lansing Community Col-lege.
“Rather than have the an-swers at the bottom of thebottle,” Cupp said, “I can for-get about the bottle.”
Cupp’s wife, Rachel, saidthe couple’s four young chil-dren have their father backand she feels like she has herhusband back.
Judge Donald Allen pre-sided over his third gradua-tion ceremony as judge.
Allen said the program issuccessful because it givespeople the tools they need tostay sober.
“It provides people withan opportunity to really trans-form their lives,” Allen said,“and succeed in ways theywouldn’t have imagined.”

LANSING — Mark Twain was manythings – journalist, novelist, humorist, socialcommentarian.
Twain, a native Missourian who was bornSamuel Clemens, remains an American iconfor his biting wit and his observations onAmerican life that are contemporary morethan a century after his death.
Mid-Michigan will get a taste of whatthe real Twain might have been like when“Christmas with Mark Twain” comes toStormfield Theatre from Thursday, Dec. 16through Sunday, Dec. 19.
Stormfield Theatre is located at 201 Mor-gan Lane in the Frandor Shopping Center(behind Tripper’s and Olga’s; just north ofthe Sears Water Tower).
Tickets range in price from $18 to $24for adults, depending on the show. Those 65years old and better receive $2 off per ticket,while students with valid ID get in for $10.
Chicago actor Richard Henzel, known asa Mark Twain impersonator, will return tomid-Michigan with his creation for a secondtime. Henzel brought his “Mark Twain in Per-
son” show to East Lansing last year for aone-night fundraiser at Walnut Hills CountryClub. The visit is doubly special to Storm-field Theatre personnel, including founderKristine Thatcher. Stormfield’s name comesfrom a Twain short story, and scholars un-derstand “Captain Stormfield’s Visit to Heav-en” as one of Twain’s favorites.
“It was astonishing to see him transformhimself into the spitting-image of MarkTwain.” Thatcher said.
“The response we got from those who at-tended was so strong that we have invitedhim back for a week of performances. He’sbringing brand new material just right forthe holidays.”
Henzel’s return – besides fueling the hopehis appearances will become a holiday tra-dition for Stormfield – coincides with the100th anniversary of Twain’s death and thepublication of the first volume of his autobi-ography. Thanks to a new partnership withSchuler Books in Eastwood Town Center,copies of Twain’s new autobiography will beavailable for purchase in Stormfield’s lobby.
Mark Twain impersonatorwill perform at Stormfield

“Employers are startingto really realize that thedemographics of theircustomer base may havepeople with disabilities,”Paterni said. “Evensomebody with a heartcondition may not be ableto climb stairs.”
The new digs also willbe better suited for artclasses, which previouslywere held in the middle of
the gallery.“To be able to have
the proper space and
equipment for that is reallygoing to be an asset for thecity,” said Lansing artist
Kate Cosgrove, who hastaught children’s classes atthe gallery.
Lansing Art Gallery moving to bigger homeCatherine Babcock
sounded upset, evenashamed, as she talkedabout having to turn awaypatrons who usewheelchairs.
The exhibit space atthe nonprofit Lansing ArtGallery is up a flight ofstairs, and there’s noelevator inthe building.
“It didn’thappenevery day,but even ifit happenedsix times ayear, it’s sixtimes toomany,” said Babcock, thegallery’s executivedirector. “When you’re atthe bottom of the stairstalking to a person in awheelchair trying to tellthem why they can’t seethe exhibit, it’s verydifficult.”
That won’t be aproblem starting Jan. 1,2011, when the gallerymoves a couple of blocksfrom its current6,000-square-foot spot at113 S. Washington Squareto a 7,400-square-footspace at 119 N.Washington Square, nextto the Kositchek’s men’sclothing store.
The nonprofit employsfive and has an annualbudget of about $175,000.The gallery has operatedout of four differentlocations in its 45-yearhistory.
Accessibility was a
major reason for the latestmove, along with thelarger space and room fora classroom, Babcock said.
The gallery moved to itscurrent site in 2004 withplans to build an elevator.
“The economy wasbooming, we were doingreally well with sales.Grants weren’t as hard tocome by,” Babcock said.
Then, the economyturned sour and anelevator was out of thequestion.
The gallery was paying$3,000 a month for rentat its current spot, butwas temporarily granteda reduced rate of $1,000a month because thenonprofit’s funding wasdown. Utilities ran about$6,000 to $7,000 a year.
The new spot will run$2,000 a month for rentand utilities. LandlordKenneth Stockwell iscovering the cost for someadditional walls.
There will be “minimalmoving costs,” butBabcock said she hasn’tcalculated all the expensesyet.
“We’re just reallyexcited to have everythingon one level,” she said.
The gallery will be onthe lower level with apassenger elevator and afreight elevator for artiststo move their pieces.
Accessible buildings areimportant, especially withan aging population, saidAlicia Paterni, executivedirector of the CapitalArea Business LeadershipNetwork DisabilityCouncil.

w Top player: Deborah Hoekstra, East Lansing
w League outlook: The Trojans remain heavy leaguefavorites despite some heavy graduations but alsoafter the transfer of Hoekstra from Eastern. Okemosis expected to contend for its first league title since2002, and Holt looks like the most likely to push EastLansing.

w Outlook: The Quakers will attempt to build on theirbest finish in recent years despite losing Hoekstra toEast Lansing. Christopherson earned an all-areahonorable mention last season and should take onmore of the spotlight among a group of five seniorsexpected to lead the effort. The Quakers also expecthelp from a hard-working group of underclassmen.

with all 12 players expected to contribute. Haney, anall-area pick at East Lansing last season, is anotherbig-time college prospect and will join at semesterbreak. Morton came up to varsity midway through lastseason and is considered another top sophomore inthe state.

After two dismal years, the job market fornew college graduates is getting ready to re-bound, according to the 2010-11 RecruitingTrends report from Michigan State Universi-ty.
The 4,600 employers who responded tothe annual survey said they expect to hire 10percent more bachelor’s level graduates inthe coming year. The increase was expectedto be greater — 13 percent — in the GreatLakes region.
“We’ve got a deep hole to climb outof,” said Phil Gardner, director of the Col-legiate Employment Research Institute atMSU, which administers the survey, “butwe’ve got to take it where we can and it’s agood start.”
The job market for new graduatesdropped precipitously after the economiccrisis hit in 2008, possibly as much as 50 per-cent, Gardner said, and remained stagnantthrough 2009.
The hiring expected in the coming monthswill come largely from large companies fill-ing positions that had been left vacant andfast-growing small companies that are creat-ing new positions.
“Part of it is pent-up demand,” Gardnersaid. “Part of it is, ‘We feel good enoughabout the economy that we’re going to pull
the lever and hire somebody.’ ”That sense of optimism has not necessar-
ily filtered down to the students themselves.“Statistics are nice,” said Lauren Roe, an
interdisciplinary studies in social sciencemajor who will graduate from MSU in thespring.
“When you actually look at it, the jobs atmost of the places that are hiring are callingpeople and asking for money.”
Her plan is to apply to nursing school.It’s not all good news for the next crop of
graduates.For one thing, starting salaries likely
won’t be what they were. In 2008-09, newbachelor’s-level graduates were earning an

average of $46,500, the survey said. Thisyear, it’s expected to be $36,866.
Part of that drop comes from changesin the data — this year’s survey includemore small companies and nonprofits thanin years past — but part of it reflects real re-ductions, particularly in the higher-end sala-ries.
In a market flush with job seekers, em-
ployers “don’t have to offer outlandish sala-ries to their top candidates to get them.”
The other piece of bad news: Many of thecompanies that said they would have jobs inthe coming year have already done their hir-ing.
“If they have to fill some gaps they’ll comeback in winter and spring,” Gardner said,“but many of them will not be back.”

You deservea rapid recoveryfrom your hysterectomy.
A robotic-assisted hysterectomy offers mostwomen numerous potential benefits overtraditional approaches to hysterectomies,particularly with more complex procedures likeradical hysterectomy for gynecological cancer.
Women undergoing robotic-assisted surgerytypically experience:
• Significantly less pain and fewer complications
• Less blood loss and a decreased risk ofinfection
• Less scarring
• A shorter hospital stay (as short as a singleday for total hysterectomies) anddramatically-decreased recovery time
• A quicker return to normal daily activities
