Grand Rapids holds an award from the United Nations as a GVL I Elliot Slenk center of excellence for education in sustainability, the only city in the United States to have such an honor. GVSU follows suit with its continued pledge to YOUR INSIGHTS ------sustainability, including its work for LEED-certified buildings. Are you dressing up for Halloween? Though recycling is still a great everyday way to help the environment, sustainability efforts have grown far beyond that. If so, as what? This year’s events focus on the triple bottom line, which emphasizes people, prosperity and the planet as ways to approach sustainability.

Rowing continued from page B1 team, and often they would clash ores with other teams. “It’s like breaking the stride of a race horse, ” he said. “You’ve got that rhythm, and rhythm is everything, so that really messed with us.” Starting even further back at the 42nd position, the Women ’s- 8 team beat out 40 other teams to finish with an identical fourth place medal with an official adjusted time of 17:50.382. Bancheri offered his team appreciation for their efforts, but he said they have yet to scratch the surface. “The women rowed out of their minds, ” he said. “They had a fantastic day. They don ’t have the numbers that the men have, but they have talent that they don ’t even know is there. It’s just a matter of us drawing it out.” Comparing the two teams based on this past weekend ’s performances, Bancheri believes his Men ’s-8 team still needs to be adjusted to bring out their maximum potential. He said the women beat teams that beat them two weeks ago. and the * men lost to teams that they beat two weeks ago. “They wecfe trained exactly the same, only that the women ’s team was the same and the men ’s team had a few new guys,” he said. “Perhaps our selection was better two weeks ago, but we ’re japing to keep rotating our cards until we find that royal flush. Amd they ’re going to choose themselves; I’m not going to do it” E The Men ’s Lightweight- f finished 10th out of 23, but Bancheri was proud of his team nevertheless. “They didn ’t medal, but to me they ’re still champions, ” he said. “We were eight seconds off the U.S. Navy. The ‘Laker Navy’ eight seconds off the U.S. Navy. That isn ’t so bad when my tax dollars helped buy their boat and we had to borrow one. ” Overall, Bancheri seems very excited for this year ’s team. “Heading to Philadelphia for our championship (the Dad Vail Championship Regatta), we have three varsity boats that can potentially medal, ” Bancheri said. “That's amazing for our program — it’s something that I dreamed of to get to in five years. We re there now in three, and our only limitation is ourselves. ”
