EDITORIAL Students and staff should support the Farmers Market, as it LOCALLY GROWN plays an integral role in the West Michigan community.

Frozen Creek Farms, Farm Country Cheese, JMC Kettle Billi’s Goodies and Thunderfoot Meats. When people buy local, rather than at a supermarket such as Walmart or Family Fare, twice the money stays in the community, according to a study done by the New GVL EDITORIAL CARTOON I BY LEAH FISHWICK LFISHWICKQLANTHORN COM Economics Foundation and researcher David Boyle. The money stays in the area rather than flowing outward to other states. It is exciting to us at the Lanthorn to have the oppor­ tunity to support our local community here in Allen­ dale and the neighboring cities we often frequent. The Farmers Market starts on June 4 and will continue until September, occurring every other Wednesday. A Farmers Market allows you. to meet and interact with the people who are growing and making your food. You have the chance to ask questions and get the an­ swers immediately. You know which farm, field and or­ chard the products are coming from. You can even drive by that farm. The food isn’t being packed in a truck and hauled across the country. It isn’t sitting on the shelf for days or weeks. In addition to fresher produce, the food you buy at local farmers markets is greener - and we don’t mean under-ripe. When you buy local fresh food, you’re cut­ ting out a sometimes lengthy journey from the field to the store, a journey that is often fossil fuel-intensive. Another upside to food bought at a farmers market is that it often has fewer chemicals sprayed on it, usually because that produce isn’t expected to sit on shelves and look fresher than it is. While going to the farmers market may take a bit more effort and planning than a quick run to the gro­ cery store around the corner, the benefits to the com­ munity and the consumer far outweigh the extra effort. Make little changes, buy all your produce from the mar­ ket over the summer or only eat eggs from locally raised chickens. A little change can make a huge difference. If you can’t make it to the GVSU Farmers Market,

GVSU replaced 38-year employee and 24-year head coach Doug 'Doc' Woods, who recently re­ tired, with top assistant Dana Callihan on May 30. Callihan has been a part of the Laker program for 17 seasons (four as a player and 13 as a coach). Since she joined the team in 2002, the Lakers have posted a 473-197-1 record, which is good enough for a .706 winning percentage. GVSU racked up 574 wins and four GLIAC titles in that span, and made nine trips to the NCAA Tournament.
