Sikes In ’08?
In the political world having the year of an election follow your name is generally a campaign slogan. For Michelle Sikes ’08 is the year for the Olympics and the destination is Beijing. Nickie Antonio (at large) and Mayor Thomas George submitted a resolution honoring the Lakewood High graduate recognizing her participation in the World Games in Osaka, Japan. She ran in the 5,000 meter run. Since Sikes was en route home when the September 4th resolution was passed her parents and her former LHS coach Rick Ventura accepted on her behalf. The resolution kicked off a week of celebrations honoring Sikes who is also one of three Rhodes Scholars that Lakewood has produced.
Antonio then offered a resolution “calling on the United States Government to commit to and develop a firm strategy and timetable to begin the orderly and comprehensive withdrawal of U.S. military personnel and bases from Iraq.â€Â
