READYING THE RINK: Tim Fegel, an Eastern Michigan University junior from Rockford, Mich., clears snow from the frozen pond near The Lake House. Fegel was on skates to make the job easier as he readied the surface to be used as a skating rink. Since frigid temperatures set in, the pond has been ideal for ice skating. Posted hours are Monday through Friday, 2-10 p.m.; and 1-5 p.m. on weekends.
