Flint Roller Derby Girls
include MCC English Prof
Not unlike Actress Ellen Page in derby film “Whip It,”
31-year-old Jackie Knoll puts on her skates and finds her bliss.
Q: When did you first become
interested? Why Roller Derby?
A: I read an article in BUST magazine
(a feminist magazine) about the Gotham
City Roller Girls in 2005, and I was
really intrigued. I had never heard of
roller derby before and I thought it
sounded like a lot of fun.
At the time I was toying with the
idea of becoming involved with a sport.
I was kind of thinking about hockey
because 1) it was violent and 2) I knew
how to skate. However, the only
opportunities in my community (Mt.
Pleasant back then) were for CMU
students.
I had a boyfriend who was kind of a
“jock” and he encouraged me to be more
athletic. It felt good to hear him say he
“What will be our legacy?”

because I never thought of myself as an

athlete before ... I was totally
uncoordinated; I couldn’t kick, hit, or
throw a ball at all. I had no stamina
whatsoever.
But in 2005 I was in good shape
thanks to a self-imposed workout
regimen. I was also—I don’t know how
to put this without sounding like a
psychopath, but I wanted to beat some
“a--.” I had a desire to compete in a sport
that was more hands-on and violent than
most of the sports women play (golf,
softball, etc.) And roller derby sounded
like it would give me that opportunity. I
didn’t get involved until 2007 because
that was when a league finally started in
Flint, where I was living at the time.
Until then, the closest league to me was
in Detroit and I wasn’t about to commute
that far.

to Mott campus
    An anonymous gift of $1-million has
been given to MCC with a heartfelt
desire to help as many Flint area
students as possible. The donors - a
Flint area husband and
wife - said Mott’s county wide reach
helped to convince them to leave their
entire insurance premium to MCC
instead of splitting it with their church
and another university or college. The
wife is an MCC Alum; he taught at
MCC and once worked for Flint
Community Schools.
      “Our wealth came from working
with children in the Flint area,” the
donors said. “One thinks about these
things as they come to the end of their
career.

“We are all just ordinary people who live ordinary lives.”
MCC English Prof Jackie Knoll seems to
write the rules on the Roller Derby Track.
Jackie, aka Lexi Pro 10 mg, is the Flint
Derby Girls Lead Jammer during
competitions. Her team meets other teams
across the state at Rollhaven Skating Center in
Grand Blanc Township.
(Continued from Page 1.)
Q: What do your friends/family think
of your participation?
A: They think it’s awesome ... My mom
comes to all my bouts. She even has a t-
shirt that says. “Lexi’s Mom” on back.
Q: You are a Jammer (a key position)
on the team. Was that your goal, to be
a Jammer?
A: Honestly, when I first joined derby, I
would have been happy to be the
team’s waterboy ... Once everybody
had the basic skating skills down, what
happened was that the natural
tendencies of each skater began to
emerge. I never did get very good at

made me a Jammer.
Q: How did you come up with Lexi
Pro #10 mg?
A: Funny story about that. I had a
different derby name for the first six
months I was on the league (PMS
Pinafore) but I grew to hate it because
it’s a six-syllable mouthful and no one
knew what to call me for short.
About two years ago I was sitting
at the bar with one of my friends, who
was interested in joining, and we were
trying to come up with a derby name
for her. She’s bipolar, so she was going
to be “Bipolar Betty.” Then she said,
joking, “And you could be Lexi Pro!”
Q: Is the team looking for more
players?
A: Always! We are planning a
recruitment of for the first two weeks of
May.
IRA Contribution & Deduction Limits extended
IRA contribution and deduction
limits for individuals under 50 years of
age at the end of 2010 should know the
maximum contribution they can make
to a traditional or Roth IRA.
According to Lennetta Coney,
President of the Foundation for MCC,
the maximum is the smaller of $5,000
or the amount of their taxable

Roth IRA, but the combined limit is
$5,000, Coney said. The maximum
contribution to a Roth IRA and the
maximum deductible contribution to a
traditional IRA may be reduced
gross income.
We practice for two hours two
nights a week. Some of us go roller
skating at Open Skate too, or outside if
the weather is nice.
Q: What would you like people to
know about roller derby?
A: None of us are professional athletes.
We are all just ordinary people who live
ordinary lives. We don’t get paid to
skate, we don’t get endorsements. We
might seem like big shots on the track
while you’re watching a bout, but after
it’s over and we’ve put our tired, aching
bodies to bed, we wake up the next
morning and feed our kids, do the
laundry, go to work.
Every single derby league in the
country was started by a group of
everyday people who wanted to show
what ordinary women can do when
they put their heads together and work
TOGETHER to create something
from the ground up.
For those 50 years of age or older
before 2011, the maximum
contribution that can be made to a
traditional or Roth IRA is the smaller
of $6,000 or the amount of your
taxable compensation for 2010. Coney
said that limit can be split between a
traditional and a Roth IRA but the
combined limit is $6,000. The
maximum contribution to a Roth IRA
and the maximum deductible
contribution to a traditional IRA may
be reduced depending upon the
modified adjusted gross income.

accepted as foreign language credit
M C C a n d t h e U n i ve r s i t y o f
Michig an-F lint have reached an
agreement that allows students to transfer
credits from MCC’s American Sign
Language (ASL) program to count
toward the foreign language requirement
at the university.
The agreement comes a year after
university officials decided to join a
growing number of college campuses
counting ASL as a foreign language - a
move that is still controversial among
some foreign language departments and
that was opposed several times at UM-
Flint.
Some academics still don’t believe
sign language matches the cultural and
historical elements of other foreign
languages such as Spanish or French.
Some also say it’s too close to English.
Those who opposed the change had
concerns about whether there was a deaf
culture to go with the language but came
to the conclusion that there was “a strong
and vibrant deaf culture.”
Several state colleges, including UM-
Flint’s sister campus in Ann Arbor and
Michigan State University already
allowed ASL to meet second language
requirements.
Flint, which is home to the Michigan
School for the Deaf, has one of the
largest deaf communities in the state.
Roughly 350 students are in MCC’s
program that offers 18 sections of ASL.
MCC officials expect that number to
grow after the change.
ASL is the third most used language
in America. Michigan ranks ninth in the
number of people who have hearing
disabilities. MCC is one of three colleges
and universities in Michigan that offer
courses in ASL.

but the school where they study music was destroyed. The faculty, staff and students of
MCC quickly went into action to help their guests. An online Haiti Fund was created by the
