Sunday, March 24, 2013 - 2:00pm
East Grand Forks Civic Center
Northern Lights Figure Skating Club with the East Grand ForksParks and Recreation Department Proudly Present
$5.00
Welcome to our Show!!
The figure skating season is a long one to say the least! Our
skaters seldom receive time away from the rink when they are con-
stantly busy with practices, lessons, exhibitions, test sessions, and
competitions. Some of our more advanced skaters are also high
school hockey cheerleaders and Basic Skills coaches! After five
months of hard work, combined with a winter that doesn’t always
cooperate, our skaters definitely deserve a night to relax and have
some fun!
This show, and more importantly this program, would not exist
without our talented skaters, supportive parents, generous volun-
teers, dedicated coaches, the Northern Lights Figure Skating
Club, East Grand Forks Parks and Recreation and the city of East
Grand Forks. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all that
you do. You truly make this program the success that it is!
The annual ice show is the favorite part of the season for many of
our skaters! The show gives them the rare opportunity to entertain
their community and enjoy the sport they love without the pres-
sures of competing and testing. They are excited to showcase the
new skills they’ve learned this year and indulge in their artistic
side. I sincerely hope that you enjoy our show!
Please sit back and enjoy a well-deserved “Ladies Night”!
Thank You!
Beth Moe,
NLFSC Coordinator
Welcome from East Grand Forks
Parks and Recreation
The city of East Grand Forks values the accomplishments and
efforts of each of our individual skaters and synchronized teams.
The figure skating program is a very vital activity to our commu-
nity and we enjoy seeing it grow year after year.
The Annual Ice Show takes a great deal of planning and organi-
zation. We salute the Northern Lights Figure Skating Club of
East Grand Forks, all of the volunteers and the parents who put
in countless hours and ultimately make this show possible.
Without their hard work and dedication, it would not happen.
We sincerely hope you enjoy the show and the talent of all of the
skaters involved.
Warmest Regards,
Dave Aaker,
East Grand Forks Parks and Recreation Superintendent
Mark Dragich,
East Grand Forks Parks and Recreation Supervisor
on behalf of the Northern Lights Figure
Skating Club, it is with great pride in
welcoming you to our 41st annual Ice
Show!
Tonight you will have the opportunity to see all the hard work and
dedication that our skaters have invested throughout this past year.
We have a wonderful group of individuals who will be showcasing their talents to a variety of songs themed after the female genre.
We will have “SINGLE LADIES” with “HAPPY FEET” doing a little “CROCODILE ROCK.” Because it’s “LADIES NIGHT!”
I do want to take a moment to express our sincere gratitude for your undying support to our club. The Northern Lights Figure
Skating Club has built a solid foundation from the commitment of so many involved and our success is because of our many sup-
porters like you; past and present!
To our skaters who spend countless hours on the ice; from early mornings to late nights, day after day! That takes an enormous
amount of dedication and discipline! But they do it with great pride because of their love of figure skating! We are always proud
of their continued determination!
A “BIG” thank you to Beth Moe who joined NLFSC this year as our new Skating Director. I can’t say enough about her dedica-
tion to the future of this club. Beth has taken on an enormous amount of responsibility and has completed every task with pure
optimism! Her passion for skating is evident in her work. May her vision for the future of our program take us to new heights!
Our coaches, who share not only their love of skating with our girls but their experience as well! These coaches dedicate their
time to teach and guide our skaters along the wonderful path of figure skating. We have an amazing staff of coaches on board
who provide our skaters the necessary tools they need to succeed. Their dedication to this club does not go unnoticed.
Parents, without you how could these kids be where they are today? You all deserve a round of applause for your undying efforts!
First, for allowing your child this wonderful opportunity and second for your dedication to the sport as well, without you standing
beside them, supporting them their experience would not be possible! And let’s not forget the countless volunteer hours you con-
tribute to our program. You must know that this is such an essential piece to the growth and success of our club, for without you
we clearly could not exist.
The Parks & Recreation Department; Mark Dragich, Deb Hadden and Dave Aker for their unwavering support to our program.
Garry Hadden, VFW Supervisor, thank you, thank you for always taking such good care of our arena. Your support to our club
has been so appreciated throughout the years! You’re one of a kind! We will miss you tremendously and are so appreciative that
we had the opportunity to work together, it has been so enjoyable! We wish you well on your retirement!
Last, but not least our magnificent community for the outpouring of support to not just our club but to ALL of our area youth
activities. I am a believer that together we are sure to make a difference in the lives of our youth.
We thank you for sharing the evening with us; now let’s sit back, relax and ENJOY the show!

Northern Lights Figure Skating Club

Team North dakota
Danielle Larson, Hanna Stevenson, Kate Copperud,
Laurel Peabody, Kendra Nagle, Sarah Smith,
Mallory Olson, Emilea Berhow & Kendra Gullickson
Team North Dakota was formed in the fall of 2012. The team wasinitially created as a student organization at the University Of NorthDakota, which meant that all team members were to be students ofUND. After further research, the decision was made to forgo the stu-dent organization route and instead create a collegiate team that anyfull-time student could participate in, regardless of what collegehe/she attended. The change brought forth the opportunity for stu-dents attending colleges in the surrounding areas to participate. The first season was a building year for the team. They did not com-pete, but instead focused their efforts on learning the rules andrequirements, working together and most importantly building aname for the team. Their debut performance was Sunday, January20th, 2013 at the Northern Star International Synchronized SkatingCompetition in East Grand Forks, MN. Their exhibition performancewas received with overwhelming support from the community, theskaters and even the judges.
The mission of Team North Dakota is to provide post-secondary ath-letes the opportunity to continue their skating careers with a teamthat values education, teamwork, sportsmanship and the advance-ment of synchronized skating.

Middle Row:
Paige Vetter, Lisa Yanish; Front Row: Jordyn Weber
I always knew this day would come
We'd be standing one by one
With our future in our hands
So many dreams so many plans
I always knew after all these years
There'd be laughter there'd be tears
But never thought that I'd walk away
With so much joy but so much pain
And it's so hard to say goodbye
But yesterday's gone we gotta keep moving on
I'm so thankful for the moments so glad I got to
know ya
The times that we had I'll keep like a photograph
And hold you in my heart forever
I'll always remember you
Another chapter in the book cant go back but you
can look
And there we are on every page
Memories I'll always save
Up ahead only open doors
Who knows what we're heading towards
I wish you love I wish you luck
For you the world just opens up
But it's so hard to say goodbye
Yesterday's gone we gotta keep moving on
I'm so thankful for the moments so glad I got to
know ya
The times that we had I'll keep like a photograph
And hold you in my heart forever
I'll always remember you
Everyday that we had all the good all the bad
I'll keep them here inside
All the times that we shared every place every-
where
You touched my life
Yeah one day we'll look back we'll smile and we'll
laugh
But right now we just cry
Cause it's so hard to say goodbye
Yesterday's gone we gotta keep moving on
I'm so thankful for the moments so glad I got to
know ya
The times that we had I'll keep like a photograph
And hold you in my heart forever
I'll always remember you
I'll always remember you
I'll always remember you
CLASS OF 2013
Chandler
Kallock is the
17 year old
daughter of
Rhonda and
David
Kallock and
has been
skating with
the Northern
Lights Figure
Skating Club
since the age
of six. She knew she wanted to be a
figure skater when she attended her
first ice show at the age of five. “I
saw all of the pretty skating dresses
and decided I wanted to do that too!”
Performing and the artistic expres-
sion of figure skating are the two
things she loves the most about skat-
ing. Her favorite memory from her
skating years is skating with her Dad
when she was little. “My Dad would
skate with me every night on an out-
door rink,” she told us. “He worked
with me on my backward crossover
for weeks!” Chandler will miss the
excitement of competitions, being
with her friends on the ice and hav-
ing Melissa Olson and Jarmila Solc
as her coaches. She would like to tell
the younger skaters to have confi-
dence on the ice and to always smile.
Chandler plans to attend the
University of North Dakota and
major in Communications.
A Tribute To Our Seniors
Paige Vetter isthe 18 year olddaughter ofBeth andClarence Vetterand has beenskating with theNorthernLights FigureSkating Clubsince she wasfour years old.When askedwhat she lovedmost about skating, Paige replied, “It’s agood way to get exercise, express yourselfand be with your friends all at the sametime.” Although she found it hard tochoose just one, her favorite skatingmemories include her trips to the RedRiver Valley Classic competition inMoorhead, MN each February. Paige willmiss skating in the Annual Ice Show, “theweek leading up to the show is stressful,but it’s always so much fun and it’s allworth it once the show finally arrives,”she said. Paige would like to tell theyounger skaters that practice makes per-fect, having a positive attitude goes along way and to remember to alwayshave fun and enjoy your time on the ice.“There’s no point in skating if you don’tlike it or if you aren’t having fun. Skatingshould definitely be fun!” Paige plans toattend the University of North Dakota inthe fall and is undecided on a major atthis point, but is leaning toward BusinessAdministration or Psychology. She wouldlike to pursue a career as a Health UnitCoordinator, Pediatrician or OBGYN.
Lisa Yanish is
the 17 year old
daughter of
Roberta and
Tim Yanish and
has been skat-
ing with the
Northern Lights
Figure Skating
Club since she
was seven
years old. The
Annual Ice
Show is what Lisa loves most about skating.
She enjoys skating with her friends in front
of the crowd, “the atmosphere is so amaz-
ing,” she told us. Her favorite skating mem-
ory dates back to 8th grade when she trav-
eled to Michigan for a competition with her
synchronized skating team. She said her
favorite part of the trip was competing,
relaxing with her friends and stopping in
Chicago to eat at the famous Ed Debevic’s
restaurant. Lisa told us she will miss being
a part of the Annual Ice Show because it is
her favorite part of the year. “Never give up
and always make it fun,” is the advice she
gives to the younger skaters. She said
learning new jumps and spins is difficult,
but if you keep practicing you will get bet-
ter. Lisa plans to attend Northland
Community and Technical College in East
Grand Forks and is undecided on her
major at this time. She is interested in the
nursing program, but has yet to make a
final decision. Lisa is looking forward to
the years ahead, attending local competi-
tions and, of course, the Ice Show!

ple involved in skating, not just her
fellow skaters, but the parents and
coaches as well. Her favorite memory
is from the 2012 Red River Valley
Synchronized Skating Classic
Competition in Moorhead when the
Metallites bested both the Bismarck
and Border Blades teams. Jordyn told
us she will really miss synchronized
skating, especially her team, and the
feeling she gets on competition day,
“There is nothing better.” She would
like all of the younger skaters to have
fun and get involved. “The memories
you make in skating are going to stay
with you forever!” She would like to
thank everyone that supported her
throughout her skating career, “I’m
going to miss you all.” Jordyn is cur-
rently keeping her options open and
has not made any permanent deci-

Congratulations Skaters!!The title of ‘United States Figure Skating Gold Medalist’ is the
highest honor a skater can achieve. One earns this title by passing
the Gold Dance test, Senior Moves in the Field test or the Senior
Freeskate test. Years of training, dedication and hard work go into
passing these tests and many skaters never achieve the honor.
This year, the Northern Lights Figure Skating Club is proud to
have not one, but three skaters become U.S. Figure Skating Gold
Medalists! Ellie Akerlind passed her fourth and final Gold Dance
test on December 8, 2012 and passed her Senior Moves in the
Field test on March 9, 2013 becoming a double gold medalist.
Laurel Peabody, a Freshman at the University of North Dakota
and an alumnus of the Northern Lights Figure Skating Club
passed her fourth and final Gold Dance test on March 10, 2013.
Brea Egeland passed both her final Gold Dance and the Senior
Moves in the Field tests on March 10, 2013 earning the title of
double gold medalist.
The Northern Lights Figure Skating Club congratulates Ellie,
Laurel and Brea on their tremendous achievement and skating
success! In honor of their accomplishments, the Northern Lights
Figure Skating Club will present Ellie, Laurel and Brea with the
official United States Figure Skating Gold Medalist Jacket and
will honor them with a special on-ice presentation during
Sunday’s show.
