The Sun and News, Saturday, August 5, 2023/ Page 11when an infraction took
place well behind the line of
scrimmage.
In volleyball, teams
will stay on the same
bench for the duration of
a match unless officials
determine a clear disad-
vantage exists for the
bench on one side of the
court. In that case, teams
will exchange sides of the
court after each set.
Another pair of changes
affect where volleyball
coaches may be positioned
during matches. Coaches
may stand in a new coaching
zone, now defined by the
libero replacement zone
extending beyond the end
line and sideline extended.
During dead-ball situations,
one assistant coach also may
stand within the coaching
zone to provide instruction;
only one assistant coach can
stand at a time, but the assis-
tant coach who stands may
change throughout the
match.
Two officiating-related
changes will be especially
noticeable on the soccer
pitch. Officials now may
stop the clock to check on
an injured player without
that player being requiredto leave the match – previ-
ously that player would
have to sub out. Also, cate-
gories for fouls have been
redefined: careless (which
is a foul but does not receive
a card), reckless (a foulwith a yellow card) and
excessive force (foul with
red card).
In swimming, stroke mod-
ifications were made in the
backstroke and breaststroke

— Siler introduced
three new firefighters
who are being brought on
as paid on-call firefight-
ers: Travis Shattuck,
Brandon Nichols and
Alexander Dumbauld.
Siler said he has seen an
increase in attrition in
the fire department com-
pared to a year ago,
attributing it to several
factors.
“There’s a lot of full-
time positions out there.
So we seem to have peo-
ple that either decide
they don’t want to do
(firefighting) or it’s too
much of a demand or they
really like doing it and
they get a job somewhere
else because we don’t
have a (full-time) spot
for them,” Siler said. “I
look at it as the cost of
doing business until we
have a staff big enough
that we have dedicated
full-time (firefighters)
here.”
The addition boosts the
total number of firefight-
ers in the Caledonia Fire
Department to 27 — 19
paid and on-call and eight
full-time, Siler said.TRAIL, continued

The Thornapple
Kellogg High School
marching band finished
up another week of sum-
mer practice with a pre-
view of its 2023 show for
parents inside Bob White
Stadium in Middleville
Thursday evening.
The Walt Disney
Company marks its 100th
anniversary this winter
and TKHS band director
Ray Rickert has planned a
Disney, if only tangen-
tially, themed program
for the upcoming season.
The band has a few
more rehearsals on the
slate for the coming
weeks and will open its
performance season in
Middleville as the
Thornapple Kellogg var-
sity football team takes
on Lowell inside Bob
White Stadium for the
second game of the sea-
son, Aug. 31.
The Trojans played
their theme song for the
season, Sister Sledge’s
“We are Family” popu-
larized in part by the
1979 World Series cham-
pion Pittsburgh Pirates,
as a part of their pregame
routine also including the
Thornapple Kellogg High
School Fight Song and
the “Star-Spangled
Banner” before rolling
through a couple other
tunes.The Thornapple Kellogg High School marching band weaves around the field as it performs for parents as
part of its summer band camp in Middleville Thursday evening. The Trojan marching band will officially take
the field for the first time Aug. 31 as the TK varsity football team plays host to the Lowell Red Arrows. (Photo
