Making the grade
Wayne student wins prestigious
summer college study internship
Teen faces gun charges
An Alma College student from
Wayne is one of 24 undergraduate
students from across the country
to receive a summer research fel-
lowship from the American
Physiological Society (APS).
The fellowship program, which
is in its 14th year, allows students
to spend the summer in the labo-
ratory of an established scientist
and APS member. For Wayne jun-
ior Zakkary Hardyniec, this
means he'll work on amuscle stem
cell project at the Center for
Muscle Biology at the University
of Kentucky.
“When I found out that I had
been awarded the fellowship, I
could not believe it,” he
Hardyniec said. “I ran to the office
to share the news with my two
advisors so I could thank them for
helping me obtain the fellowship.
I feel as though I have been given
the most amazing opportunity of
my life.”
Hardyniec, an integrative phys-
iology and health science major,
has worked on research projects
previously through Alma's PRISM
program. During these experi-
ences, Karen Ball, associate pro-
fessor, said Hardyniec demon-
strated an enthusiasm for his
work, making him an excellent
candidate for the fellowship.
“I am certain that Zakk's prior
experience was essential in his
successful application,” she said.
“This fellowship will be important
for him in that he will experience
the excitement of working within
a large research center and gain
exposure to the breadth of
approaches in muscle research
including biochemical, molecu-
lar/cellular andhuman studies.”
Each APS fellow receives a
$4,000 stipend to cover living
expenses during the 10-week fel-
lowship, as well as an additional
$1,300 in travel funds to present
their
research
at
the
Experimental Biology 2013 meet-
ing inBoston, which is expected to
attract nearly 14,000 scientists.
“This experience is going to
open up new networks and chan-
nels of people for me,” said
Hardyniec. “It will help me truly
define and refine my interests as I
continue my education and aspi-
rations beyond Alma College. I
hope to learn more about grad
schools and other programs which
may be of interest tome.”
Hardyniec is quick to reiterate
that his professors are to thank for
his success. He said Ball and pro-
fessor Maurie Leutkemeier, in
particular, have helped shape and
guide his undergraduate experi-
ence.
“The support and time they put
into helping students is truly
remarkable,” he says. “None of
this would be possible without
them. I owe a great debt to them,
as they have opened the doors to a
great future for me. I am truly
humbled.”

Luetkemeier taught the class which biked about 900 miles through
Michigan, Wisconsin and Illinois, and visited the Trek Bicycle Center and
Gatorade Sports Science Institute in Wisconsin.
Robert Lee-Curtis Perkins, 19, of Inkster,
has been charged with Carrying a
Concealed Weapon by the Wayne County
Prosecutor.
Police said that Perkins was arrested
May 7 after a fellow student at Crestwood
High School inDearbornHeights informed
a teacher that Perkins was carrying a hand-
gun in thewaistband of his pants.
Following the report, school administra-
tors placed the building on lock down at
about 10:45 a.m. and notified Dearborn
Heights police. When officers arrived on
the school grounds, they placed Perkins
under arrest.
The Carrying a Concealed Weapon
charge is a 5-year felony. Perkins also faces
charges of Possessing a Weapon in a
Weapon Free School Zone, a 93-day misde-
meanor a Felony Firearm violation which
carries a mandatory 2-year sentence upon
conviction.
Perkins was arraigned last week before
Judge Mark Plawecki of the 20th District
Court inDearbornHeights. Bondwas set at
$130,000 cashor surety.
The Honorable Mayor Dave Bing will
speak to guests at a joint luncheonwith the

merce beginning at 11:30 a.m. until 1:30

Detroit mayor to speak
6 seek 1 judicial term
Seven people hope to replace
incumbent Chief Judge Sylvia James
on the bench at the 22nd District Court
in Inkster.
James, who is currently awaiting a
decision from the Judicial Tenure
Commission regarding findings of mis-
appropriation of funds against her,
filed for re-lection with the Wayne
County Clerk's Office on March 13 by
affidavit. The remaining candidates, all
Inkster residents, submitted nominat-
ing petitions declaring their candidacy.
The decision regarding James' abili-
ty to return to the bench is expected
next month at a formal hearing. The 20-
year judge was found guilty of several
charges by a special master appointed
by the Judicial Tenure Commission.
She is currently on a paid suspension
from the bench. The commission could
prohibit her from ever serving as a
judge again which would negate her
candidacy to return for another 6-year
term.
James has not been charged with
any criminal offense nor does she face
any criminal penalties.
The other candidates seeking the
judicial term include Brandi N. Taylor,
Byron H. Nolen, D. Eason, Jo A. Irby,
Robyn Brazeal Liddell, Sabrina
Johnson andTeresaMcClainPatton.
The judicial seat is non-partisan and
the field of candidates will be nar-
rowed at the primary election on
Tuesday, Aug. 7. The general election is
Nov. 6.
