Chelsea lost to Greenhills, 6-13.








The city of Chelsea recently began work on its new Scultpure Walk, a project that will display ten outdoor sculptures on sites scattered throughout downtown. On Thursday I visited one of the sites — the corner of Summit and Main — to get a few pictures of the site preparation being done by local artist Rick DeTroyer.




A couple months ago, several CHS musicians were honored at the state level. The Standard put together an article about the musicians and their accomplishments, and Editor Terry asked me to shoot portraits of each of the musicians to accompany the article.
My first victi…uh, subject was Viktor, a cellist. For his session, we decided to take advantage of an open field behind his house; he sat down on a chair in the middle of the field and started playing, I started shooting, and we ended up with the shots you’re about to see. And, as a bonus, I got to spend most of the session listening to beautiful cello music in the great outdoors on a perfect Michigan spring day.

Monday (13 April) marked three years since the tragic deaths of Chelsea police chief Riley Scott Sumner and Chelsea Area Fire Authority captain Matt Tuttle; despite the surprisingly cold weather, family and friends gathered outside the police station as officers observed a moment of silence.


Thursday: Soccer
In a thrilling game that finished under the lights, Chelsea defeated Parma Western 1-0; Cara Johnson scored the lone goal with under five minutes to play.







On Saturday, the Chelsea Retirement Community — or, as any self-respecting Chelsea old-timer would call it, the Methodist Home — undertook a formidable task: it replaced every last one of its incandescent light bulbs with compact fluorescent bulbs in an effort to cut its energy consumption. How formidable was this task? Well, while it’s fairly simple to unscrew one light bulb and screw in another, it’s a bit less simple to do that for more than 2,200 bulbs. The newspaper wanted a few pictures, so I joined the fun for an hour to document the laborious undertaking.
