Lana Hufnagel displays some of the 24 quilts she has made since May, all with the intent of giving them away to people she probably doesn’t even know.
Quilts are labor of love
By SUE LOUNDS
slounds@lsj.com
ST. JOHNS — Lana Hufnagel is living the Christmas spirit of giving. She says she has never made just one of anything. And thanks to that little quirk, many people will soon be receiving quilts, handmade by Hufnagel.
Hufnagel started sewing a long time ago. She’s made all sorts of things over the years, and she can never bear to throw away any leftover fabric. Last spring when she started sorting through the contents of a closet, Hufnagel found several boxes of fabric scraps, and that gave
her an idea. “I decided to make quilts from the fabric left from other quilts,” said Hufnagel. When she had finished the first six, she took them to the Clinton County Senior Center. “They just gobbled them right up,” she said. She wasn’t out of scraps,
so she kept making more quilts. “I’ve pretty much worked on it every day, except when I had kneereplacement surgery last summer,” she said. Hufnagel is just finishing up her 24th quilt (Or maybe it’s number 25; she says she’s lost count.) made See Quilts/page 9

from your hysterectomy.
Clinton County News
You deserve a rapid recovery A robotic-assisted hysterectomy offers most women numerous potential benefits over traditional approaches to hysterectomies, particularly with more complex procedures like radical hysterectomy for gynecological cancer. Women undergoing robotic-assisted surgery typically experience: • Significantly less pain and fewer complications • Less blood loss and a decreased risk of infection • Less scarring • A shorter hospital stay (as short as a single day for total hysterectomies) and dramatically-decreased recovery time • A quicker return to normal daily activities Sparrow is mid-Michigan’s leader in robotic-assisted surgery. The experience and expertise of our highlydedicated team has made Sparrow midMichigan’s leader in robotic-assisted surgery with more intensively-trained surgeons than any other hospital in the region.

from leftover fabric. Oh yes, and in between making those “scrap” quilts, she has made three other large quilts. “They are all different sizes. Some are lap size. Some are bigger,” she said. “I call them cuddle quilts. Each one is different. Each one is made entirely by Hufnagel. She cuts out the pieces, sews the blocks, adds batting and backing, then binds and ties each quilt. “I just love giving gifts, especially at holiday season,” said Hufnagel, “so if I can cheer someone up at this time of year, so much the better.” Sometime soon, Hugnagel will be delivering her quilts to Clinton Commons, Grace Haven, Hazel Find-
lay Country Manor, and if she still has some left, she’ll take more to the Senior Center. “I’ll take them myself and give them out,” she said. “I love to see people’s faces when they get a quilt.” Hufnagel has a love and a talent for sewing, and she has found many ways to use that talent to help other people and to make them happy. She uses the smaller pieces to make things like Teddy Bears, and little purses with inspirational sayings inside. “It’s something I love to do,” she said. “It makes me happy to make other people happy.” Soon a couple dozen people will be happy to snuggle under bright, beautiful quilts made with love by Lana Hufnagel.
It’s the right thing to do this season
ST. JOHNS – This holiday season, don’t give or get the gift of influenza; get vaccinated. Now is an ideal time, before the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, to get your family vaccinated against influenza, if you haven’t already done so. With the holidays right around the corner, the last thing most people want to deal with is getting sick, especially with influenza. Flu sufferers can find themselves confined to bed for up to one week with high fever, headache, extreme tiredness, dry cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose and muscle aches. For most people, the only thing worse than being miserable themselves is passing the illness to friends and family. But it happens more often than we realize.
Studies show that one person infected with the flu can potentially infect up to 15 others, making holiday parties and family gatherings the perfect venue for spreading influenza, if those in attendance haven’t been vaccinated. Why chance ruining your holiday celebration? The best way to prevent the flu and its potentially life-threatening complications is for everyone, including healthy people, age six months and older, to get vaccinated. For those at high-risk for developing serious flu complications, such as older people, young children, and people with certain health conditions, vaccination is especially important. Mid-Michigan District Health Department would like to urge citizens of the district not to take the flu lightly. Influenza continues to be a serious, unpredictable threat that can turn deadly. Influenza illness has started to
increase, with peak flu season just ahead (January through March). With vaccine in plentiful supply, now is a great time to get vaccinated. The 2010-2011 flu vaccine protects against three different types of flu viruses: H3N2, influenza B, and H1N1. It is effective through the entire flu season and is being shown to be a good match for the flu that is currently circulating. If you have not yet received your flu shot, please call MMDHD at (989) 224-2195 in Clinton County to make an appointment. The cost is $30 per shot and Medicaid and Medicare Part B are accepted. Please be aware that MMDHD has a limited number of influenza doses available to those without insurance. Those with insurance that covers the cost of immunizations should first contact their physician. – From Mid-Michigan District Health Department

High Satisfaction Rate With Hearing Instruments
According to a recent survey by the Better Hearing Institute, more than nine out of ten (93 percent) consumers said that hearing instruments improved the quality of their lives. Eighty-five percent of the respondents to the survey indicated that they were satisfied with the benefits they derived from using a hearing instrument. Nine out of ten survey respondents said they enjoyed improved communication in one-on-one situations with the help of a hearing instrument. More than eight out of ten were satisfied with their instruments’ performance in small groups and while watching
television. Seventy-five percent were satisfied with their instruments outdoors, while listening to music, during leisure activities, in the home, at restaurants and religious settings. P.S. Nearly half of the respondents to the survey mentioned above used digital instruments as opposed to analog ones.

Fowler native selected as president of Prosecutors Association LANSING — Fowler native Ronald J. Schafer has been elected by his fellow prosecutors to serve as President of the Prosecuting Attorneys Association of Michigan. He will serve a one-year term through August 2011. Ionia County Prosecutor since 2004, Schafer was recognized for his commitment to the citizens of Ionia County and his expertise and integrity in prosecution. “Ron Schafer is committed to the highest ethical standards,” said Brian Peppler, Chippewa County Prosecutor and Immediate Past President. “He will stand for victims and the public as Michigan crafts our criminal justice system.” Eaton County Prosecutor Jeff Sauter added, “Ron fights for the rights of citizens and victims. As our state and local counties are challenged to work within limited resources, Ron is a
strong advocate in highlighting our state’s responsibility to public safety.” Schafer recognized at a young age that he wanted to be involved in law enforcement. He has served throughout the state as an Assistant Prosecutor in Ionia and Washtenaw Counties before being elected in 2004 to serve as Ionia County Prosecutor. A career prosecutor himself, Schafer plans on spending his time as President of PAAM to focus on career prosecutors and on what PAAM can do to attract, support and retain talented lawyers committed to public service. Schafer is a graduate of James Madison College and the Detroit College of Law at Michigan State University.

Learn to recognize the warning signs
Any diabetic will tell you that living with diabetes can be a real challenge. Diabetics need to watch their weight, monitor what they eat, and may need to take medicine and check glucose levels on a daily basis. Such is life for nearly 23.6 million diabetic Americans, or 7.8 percent of the U.S.
the population. But for another 5 million Americans, the real challenge is unknowingly living with the disease. Diabetes is a disease in which the body does not produce or properly use insulin, a hormone that converts sugar, starches and other food into energy. When it comes to the cause of diabetes, both genetics and environmental factors, such as obesity and lack of exercise, appear to play roles. There are two different types of diabetes. Type 1 is usually diagnosed in children and young adults. In this form, the body does not produce insulin, which
is needed to convert sugar, starches, and other food into energy needed for daily life. Symptoms of Type 1 diabetes can include: • Frequent urination • Unusual weight loss • Unusual thirst • Extreme fatigue and irritability • Extreme hunger Type 2 diabetes, the most common form, occurs when the body does not produce enough insulin or the cells ignore the insulin. The risk of Type 2 diabetes can be reduced by committing to a healthy lifestyle, which includes eating a balanced diet, increasing your level of physical activity, and maintaining a healthy weight.
Symptoms can include: • Any of the type 1 symptoms • Tingling/numbness in the hands/feet • Frequent infections • Recurring skin, gum, or bladder infections • Blurred vision • Very dry skin • Cuts/bruises that are slow to heal Mid-Michigan District Health Department urges anyone experiencing one or more of these early warning signs to visit their primary care physician. Diabetes often goes undiagnosed because many of its symptoms seem relatively harmless. Studies indicate that the early detection of diabetes and
proper treatment can decrease the chance of developing complications, which may include kidney failure, heart disease, stroke, blindness, hearing loss, heart disease, skin disorders, numbness/tingling in the feet, and even amputation. “The best way to tell if you have diabetes is to have your blood sugar tested,” said Dr. Robert Graham, medical director for MMDHD. “By the time a person is diagnosed with type two diabetes, irreversible damage will already have been done to the kidneys, eyes and blood vessels. This is why early detection and treatment are imperative.” While living with diabe-
tes can certainly be a challenge, enjoying an active and full lifestyle as a diabetic is not impossible. If you have symptoms, visit your health care professional right away. And if you have been diagnosed with diabetes, continue to work with your physician to manage your condition, which will increase quality of life and reduce the chance of complications. For more information on diabetes please visit www.diabetes .org. or speak to your health care professional.

Orphans visit; orphanage needs support By SUE LOUNDS
slounds@lsj.com
ST. JOHNS – John Shinsky made a promise to himself in 1969 – that he would one day open an orphanage. He fulfilled that promise in September 2009 when Ciudad de los Niños (The City of Children) opened in Matamoros, Mexico. But Shinksy’s involvement and responsibility didn’t end there. He and his wife Cindy are dedicated to the ongoing task of raising funds to maintain and sustain the facility. To help with that sometimes daunting task, Ciudad de los Niños has partnered with Nuestros Pequeños Hermanos (NPH, Spanish for Our Little Brothers and Sisters) and its American fundraising arm, Friends of the Orphans. Recently that relationship led to a very special experience for juniors and
“The success of our project is the success of our community.” – John Shinsky seniors at St. Johns High School.
Orphans visit area
Eighteen children and one 19-year-old dorm parent from NPH facilities in Mexico paid a visit to SJHS recently. Each of the children, ranging in age from 12 to 18, was matched with two advanced Spanish students at the high school who served as guides. The visitors had lunch in the school cafeteria with their student guides. They got personal tours of the school and, most importantly, they presented an assembly of traditional Mexican song and dance
as a thank you and to encourage financial support of NPH and Ciudad de los Niños. “It was one of several school-based performances,” said Cindy Shinsky. The troupe also performed at the Lansing Spanish immersion school and a school in Jackson, according to Shinsky. A highlight for the orphans was a visit to the migrant program at Michigan State University. They were able to visit the MSU football stadium and field and even go to football practice. And were each presented with an official MSU football jersey.

just over a year. “Our maximum is 45 kids,” said Cindy Shinsky. The visit to mid Michigan was important to the children and to NPH. But John Shinsky wants to share another important message. “We have had a successful first year,” he said. “The success of our project is the success of our community. I appreciate the trust and confidence people have shown us in the project. Their support is making this possible.” John said he is very touched by the fact that they are able to function as a home for these kids.

Before going to Ciudad de los Niños, most of these children spent all their energy and time just surviving. Now they can think about the future. “Now we can zero in on education,” said Shinsky. “Good education isn’t available in the local schools.” About half of Shinsky’s orphans now attend a private school. Others have been able to gain admission to some of the better schools in the area. But there are others whose basics need work before they will qualify to the better schools. “We are trying to help our children get a good education so they can ultimately get a degree,” he
How to help
One way people here can support the mission of the Shinskys and Ciudad de los Niños is by sponsoring a child. There are different levels of sponsorship, starting at $30 per month. “Ten sponsors per child covers all of their expenses,” said Cindy Shinsky. Information on sponsoring a child or making a one-time donation is available at www.friendsof theorphans.org

Partnering with NPH will help the children reach those lofty goals. Friends of the Orphans, headquartered in Chicago, provides the fundraising arm of NPH.

Letters to the editor Thanks for supporting middle school efforts
The St. Johns Middle School staff would like to take this opportunity to express our heart-felt thanks to a number of people who recently helped make our fund-raising efforts for a local, injured soldier, Army Specialist Matthew Hayes, a huge success. We would like to pass along our sincere appreciation to Bruce DeLong of Michigan Graphics and Signs for creating, making and donating two beautiful banners. The banners for Specialist Hayes went above and beyond any of our expectations; they were breathtaking. The staff of SJMS also appreciates the efforts and the assistance of the staff of Citizens Bank in St. Johns. The staff was very helpful in sorting and counting the money, especially the large amount of coins, brought in by the students of the middle school. Thank you to all of our veterans and armed forces personnel for their service to our country. Our freedom is a very precious gift that we are extremely thankful for. A special thank you goes to three of our local veterans – Gordon Shipley, Larry Varney and Dennis Wright, for coming to the assembly and supporting Matt on behalf of all of our local VFW members. To the students and their families of St. Johns Middle School and to the countless community members who donated money, please accept our sincerest gratitude for the outpouring of generosity while supporting a local hero. We have no doubt that the fund-raising efforts would not have been successful without your presence. This has been yet another example of what a wonderful community we live in. Sincerely, St. Johns Middle School Staff
The Community Band has presented this benefit concert for a number of years, and each year the attendance has grown. This year people donated over $400 to the Wilson Center Renovation Project, by far, the most we have ever raised at a Spectacular. Thank you to the people of St. Johns who support us each year and thank you to our performers: the Laingsburg Community Singers, the St. Johns High School Quintet, the Hands of Harmony Bell Choir from First Congregational Church, the St. Johns String Ensemble, and, of course, myfellow St. Johns Community Band members. The night was a huge success thanks to the efforts of each of these groups plus the St. Johns School District Facilities Operations Department, namely, Ron Patterson and Janet Tew. Thanks again. Hope to see you all at the 2011 Holiday Music Spectacular. David Link Assistant Director, St. Johns Community Band
Events for food banks is huge success
The second annual Community Garage Sale to Benefit the Elsie Food Bank and Ovid Food Pantry held Oct. 9 was a huge success. We thank God, our community and surrounding communities, Clinton County RESA Students and Thrivent Financial for giving so generously. Between the garage sale, bake sale, quilt raffle and a $1,000 matching grant from Thrivent Financial for Lutherans - a total of $5577.49 was raised. According to the Michigan Food Bank, every $1 given to the food bank buys $10 worth of food. This is amazing, and we are so thankful you took the time, in whatever way, to help us help our food banks.

The Community Garage Sale Committee is made up of residents from Ovid and Elise who felt God placed the idea of this sale on their hearts, not knowing if people would respond, but trusted they would - and you did. Thank you for the bake sale, garage sale donations and purchases and thanks to our food banks for all you do. Merry Christmas and blessings to you and yours.

Response for local residents is overwhelming
On Saturday, Dec.4, law enforcement officers around Clinton County asked for your help in rounding up “wanted” groceries during our annual Fill-a-Cop-Car event. Your response was overwhelming. We were at four different locations in DeWitt, Ovid and St. Johns. Between the four locations, we filled twenty-nine police cars with food and collected over $1,750 in cash donations for Clinton County food banks. This is more than double the amount of food we collected last year and 50 percent more cash donations. Thanks to all of you, no mouth will go unfed this Christmas. The officers of the St. Johns, Ovid, DeWitt City, DeWitt Township and Bath Township Police Departments, and the Clinton County Sheriff’s Department
We want to share our gratitude for a very special early Christmas present. We went hunting together this year and had a very special daughter and father bonding moment. Together we shot the biggest buck we could ever have hoped to shoot. Unfortunately, it did not die right away and limped off onto some neighboring property. The Eugene and Kathy Feldpausch family found our buck dead on their property and gave it to us. We want everyone to know that Eugene’s kindness put the finishing touch on our very special day together, which shows that truth, honesty, and generosity is still alive and well. Marlena and Jim Klein Fowler

St. Johns native earns honors
December 12, 2010
MADISON — A St. Johns native has been selected the 2010 Physician Assistant of the Year by the Wisconsin Academy of Physician Assistants. Lori (Goerge) Seaborne, a physician assistant in gynecologic oncology at UW Health in Madison, Wisc. was nominated by six physicians from the University of Wisconsin Hospital’s department of obstetrics and gynecology in a written statement submitted to WAPA. “In the last two years, Lori has had a major impact on our division’s efforts to increase community awareness of the issues related to gynecologic cancers as well as to improve our ability to raise
funds allowing continued research in these areas at the University of Wisconsin,” the physicians wrote. “These efforts allow us to continue to maintain and employ a research staff, both in our busy clinical trials office as well as in the basic science laboratory areas.” Seaborne graduated from the University of Wisconsin with a degree in physician assistant studies. She has been with UW Health gynecologic oncology since 2003. Seaborne is a 1982 St. Johns graduate. She is the daughter of Harry and Dianne Goerge of St. Johns. – From Wisconsin Academy of Physician Assistants

OVID – Sue Palen took some of her students from Ovid-Elsie Middle School to the Ovid Lions Club meeting held at Mary’s Kitchen in Ovid Nov. 22. Palen’sstudents were there to tell the Lions about the Community Resource Volunteer’s 2010 summer Energy Awareness Project. During the project, these students, along with Palen, explored a number of energy-producing sites in Michigan. Funding for the project came, in large part, from a grant from the Consumers Energy Foundation. The goal was to let students see, first-hand, modes of production and distribution and also talk with energy engineers involved in these areas. Students also talked with researchers to get a peek at energy sources that are on the “drawing board” for the near, and more distant, future in Michigan. Ovid-Elsie students Alex Love, Alma
Gingerich and Riley Dysinger, Dylan Brown, Conner Applebee and Rob Garrett made Power Point presentations from the pictures and notes taken on the more than 2,000 miles they traveled around Michigan during the project. Students visited a variety of sites, including Consumers Energy Smart Center, a facility located in Jackson where cutting-edge technology is presented through simulations and products are displayed – some of which are only in the testing stage. Students looked at Michigan State University research in Nano technology, Peckham Industries new green certified facility; the Cook Nuclear Plant in Bridgeport, the Karn-Weadock coal production complex near Bay City. They also traveled to Grand Rapids and the Padnos’ plant (with over 400 solar panels on the roof) and a privately owned, hydroelectrical production damn. Exploration consisted of four, twoThe

day segments and each segment presented another form of energy production or distribution. Trips involving Consumers Energy included a training facility, energy production, meter repair, distribution and included lunch with ten engineers and Consumers’ educational coordinator to give students an informal opportunity to ask questions. CRV wants students to see what options are available for their future education and possible careers. The organization has worked very closely with Palen and she, in turn, takes what is learned in the activities and brings the information into her classroom so all the students may benefit. – From Community Resource Volunteers

Beeman’s works chosen for exhibit of environmental art LANSING - Linda Beeman, printmaker and selfdescribed Michigan artist, has been selected for an exhibit at Michigan’s Interlochen, which is an internationally respected arts academy, summer arts camp and concert hall. The exhibition is titled “Art and the Environment.” Six contemporary artists will show work with an educational, respectful and soothing focus on nature and its meditative beauty. Beeman, an Ovid resident, is a past recipient of an Individual Artist Grant as an emerging artist from the Arts Council of Greater Lansing. “The Review panel selected Linda because her application showed she’s passionate about her art and committed to bettering her skills as an artist, and the environmental focus of her work is very timely to raise public awareness of important issues. She produces really beautiful prints,” said Katie Robiadek, program manager at the Arts Council of Greater Lansing. Beeman will exhibit a series of prints titled The 12 Views of the Shiawassee River, which focuses on depicting the Shiawassee River as it winds its way from
the headwaters in Oakland County to the national wildlife refuge in Saginaw. Beeman utilizes the moku hanga technique for her prints. Moku hanga, Japanese woodblock printing, is one of the oldest forms of printmaking, becoming widespread in Japan during the 17th through 19th centuries, and it is rarely used today. Less than 20 American artists use the moku hanga technique at the professional level, according to the Argus Press on May 23, 2010, and Beeman is one of them. “When I started studying printmaking, I kept coming across prints that looked different from anything I had seen before. Everything was taught with printer’s ink, and this was a different technique of woodblock printing done with watercolors. It had this transparency that you can’t get with regular ink,” said Beeman. Beeman’s focus on the Shiawassee River is motivated by concern for the future well-being of the Great Lakes. She hopes her series will make people reflect on what conservation of Michigan’s rivers can actually do for the environment as a whole: “I

would like to create awareness of our rivers. My backyard as a child was the Shiawassee River in Owosso. We have to take care of our inland waterways in order to conserve the Great Lakes. It’s very important 80 percent of the Aral Sea, which is in Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan, disappeared in the last forty years due to lack of conservation and environmental policy, and
we don’t want that to happen to the Great Lakes. But my main motivation is that I wanted to showcase the beauty of the river,” she said.

Warstler releases CD: ‘Solace for the Season’
Eye Care
By SUE LOUNDS
slounds@lsj.com
ST. JOHNS – Just in time for the holidays, St. Johns native John Warstler has released his second CD – Solace for the Season. The CD features a collection of Christmas music, old and not so old from “Lo, How a Rose Ere Blooming” to “Some Children See Him.” Each piece is presented in Warstler’s unique and gifted fingerpicking style. The first cut on the CD is also the newest. Warstler debuts his original composition, “A New Morning.” “I wrote it a few years ago, but it was just one part of it,” said Warstler. “Then I added the bridge. I had a guitar converted from a six string to a seven string just for this particular song. I always thought it sounded somewhat like a hymn, and uplifting. My songs are more of a comforting thing, very laid back.” Like “Solace and Grace,” Warstler’s first CD, this release is an instrumental. For the first CD, Warstler performed each track of every cut himself. On this new CD, he is joined by cellist Crispin

LANSING – St. Johns wrestlers are poised to defend their Division 2 state title, starting the season with a big win at the Don Johnson Wrestling Invitational Dec. 4. The Redwings walked away with a first-place finish with 277 points, well ahead of Division 1 wrestling powerhouse Temperance Bedford with 222. Lake Fenton, a strong D-3 team, was third with 174 points. Fowlerville was fifth (102); Grand Ledge, sixth (96); DeWitt, tied for eighth with Grand Haven (81); Owosso, 10th (65.5); Eaton Rapids, 14th (41); and Charlotte, 15th (40).
Redwings win eight weight classes
St. Johns won eight weight classes. The Redwings also had a second and a third-place finish, two fourth-place finishes along with a seventh-place finish. The Redwings are again deep in talent this season, returning two state champions in Jacob Schmitt and Taylor Massa and state runner up Josh Pennell. They also have four other wrestlers who qualified for last year’s state individual tournament. St. Johns is still a young team with a freshman, three sophomores and seven juniors filling the top spots in most weight classes. “The boys wrestled well; we have a strong group,” Redwing Coach Zane Ballard said. “They have been training hard and were more impressive than I had hoped for.” Ballard said Temperance Bedford and Lake Fenton each had strong teams. Fenton had three firstplace finishes. Redwing freshman Zach
Hall made his CAAC varsity debut with a 9-5 decision over Temperance Bedford’s Mitchel Rogaliner at 103 pounds. Schmitt, a 112-pound St. Johns sophomore, pinned Hudsonville’s Zach Henderson. Brant Schaffer won the 119-pound class. Pennell, another Redwing sophomore, pinned the Kicking Mules’ Mason Allison in 21 seconds for the 125-pound championship. St. Johns junior Travis Curley earned a 7-3 decision over Hudsonville’s Jared Zimmerman at 145 pounds. Jordan Wohlfert, a Redwing junior, earned a 2-0 decision over Justin Melick of Lake Fenton in the 152-pound class. St. Johns junior Massa kept his high school undefeated record intact with a 24-9 technical fall over Lake Fenton’s Connor Brancheau at 160 pounds. Conrado Dominguez earned an 8-7 decision over Temperance Bedford’s Brandon Sunday at 189 pounds. Taylor Pemberton finished second, losing an 11-7 decision in the 215-pound championship round to Grand Haven’s Jerry Westeman.

Lady Wing hoops sink Vikings for second win By BILL McLEOD bmcleod@lsj.com
HASLETT – Led by Jordan Nurenberg’s 23-point attack, the Lady Redwings beat nonleague Haslett 49-31 Dec. 7. The win gives St. Johns a 2-0 start to the season. Amanda Glowacki jump started the Redwings with a pair of lay ups to give St. Johns a 4-0 lead. A tough Haslett zone defense slowed the Redwing for the rest of the first quar-
ter. The Vikings held a 9-8 lead at the start of the second quarter. St. Johns put together an 8-2 run in the final three minutes of the second quarter to go up 20-16 at half time. “We struggled offensively in the first half, but we did a decent job on defense to help us stay close,” Redwing Coach Mark Lasceski said. Haslett looked to catch St. Johns early in the second half, scoring five points in the first minute of the third quarter to cut
the Redwing lead to 24-21. The Redwing defense stiffened, holding the Vikings scoreless for the rest of the third quarter while St. Johns began to pound the ball inside to Nurenberg. She scored 13 points in the third quarter to put the Redwings up 36-21 going into the fourth quarter. “The third quarter was huge for us as we were able to stretch our lead and control the boards, giving Haslett one shot per trip on offense,” Lasceski said. St. Johns made all of their free throws
in the fourth quarter to keep the Vikings at bay. Mikayla Slim went for-for-four from the free-throw line in the fourth quarter. The Redwings Alex Hallenbeck and Nurenberg dominated on the boards, combining for 30 rebounds. Nurenberg pulled down 18 boards and Hallenbeck had 12 rebounds to go with her seven points. Glowacki had nine points. Miranda Rogers led the Vikings with eight points.

ST. JOHNS – Redwing boys basketball started the season with a check mark in the “W” column, beating nonleague Haslett 68-54
Dec. 7. Redwing senior Scott Besko led St. Johns with 21 points, including hitting two three-pointers and going five-for-five at the freethrow line. “He’s just a smart play-
er,” Redwing Coach Caleb Miller said about Besko. “He understands the game. He sees the floor well. He played a really smart game.” Besko hit 7-of-11 from the floor and led the Red-
wings in rebounds with eight boards. The Redwings had a 17-23 turnover advantage and were accurate from the free-throw line, hitting 22-of-25 for an 88 percent average.
Pirate hoopsters defeat O-E By SCOTT YOSHONIS
syoshonis@lsj.com ELSIE - Pewamo-Westphalia freshman Nick Spitzley scored 21 points and his brother, senior Landon Spitzley added 15, to lead the Pirates to a 65-37 rout of Ovid-Elsie in the boys basketball season opener on Dec. 8. The younger Spitzley scored the first four points of the season to begin a 10-0 Pirate run from which the Marauders would not recover. O-E cut the lead to 10-6, but that was as close as they would get. Landon Spitzley scored five of P-W’s 7-0 run from there, including a steal of an inbounds pass after a bucket by Justin Thelen, and the Pirates held a 19-10 lead at the end of the first quarter. It was more of the same in the second, as senior Dominic Schneider drained a three with 2:58 left in the half to give the Pirates their biggest lead yet, 32-15, and P-W took a 36-22 advantage into the locker room at the half. P-W head coach Luke Pohl was obviously delighted by the start to the season, but also saw room for improvement. “I thought it was a very good showing for the first game, I was really happy with it,” Pohl said. “Our rebounding has
to improve, we had some guys miss some box-outs, and if they’re not going to do it, they’re not going to play.” The Pirates had four three-pointers in the game, two by Thelen, and one each by Schneider and Landon Spitzley, but Pohl said that the long bomb will be a more prominent part of his team’s game plan as the year goes on. “We probably didn’t shoot as well with some of these guys,” he said. “We have some tremendous three shooters. They didn’t get their feet set a lot of the times, but they knock them down in practice and they’ll turn right around and do it in a ballgame.” Pohl said that Nick Spitzley’s performance, leading all scorers with 21 points just one year removed from eighthgrade basketball, was no fluke. But the youngster is not the only bright spot for the team this year, nor even the only underclassman on the P-W varsity. Ty Simon, a 6’5” sophomore center, didn’t start, but played almost half of the game, showing great promise. “I think we have some decent depth,” Pohl said. “We’re pretty athletic. We’re pretty quick and we have a lot of kids who can really jump. I think we’re going to have some guys who can put the ball in the hoop. Our guard play is going to be really good, I think it was pretty good today.”

In the typical Haslett long-range shooting style, the Vikings launched 32 shots from outside the three-point line. But the Vikings were off their game, managing to hit only eight of their three-point attempts. “They just bombed and bombed and bombed,” Miller said about the Viking attack. “The thing is you just never know when they are going to shoot their way right back into it. They’ve done that a couple of times in the last five years. It’s hard to stop.” St. Johns held a 13-4 lead going into the second quarter and continued to

Bo Moore scored eight points. Jonathan Harden had seven points, including hitting five-of-six from the freethrow line. Nate Feldpausch had six points, three assists and pulled down a pair of rebounds. Kevin Root had four points.

St. Johns Redwings
CAAC Red
w Coaches prediction: 1. Waverly, 2. St. Johns, 3. Jackson
Northwest, 4. Mason, 5. Jackson Lumen Christi, 6. Owosso, 7. Sexton w Top player: Carole Harris, Waverly w League outlook: St. Johns and Jackson Northwest are expected to provide heavy pushes, but Waverly should open the season ranked among the best in the state in Class A. Warriors Carole Harris, Jasmine Wood and Milton could all be considered the league’s top player, and they are just a few from a loaded roster. That said, St. Johns was picked by the coaches to finish third last season and ended up champion — and can’t be counted out. ST. JOHNS w Last season: 16-5, first w Coach: Mark Lasceski, 15th season w Returning starter: Jordyn Nurenberg (6-0 F) jr. w Other contributors: Amanda Glowacki (5-9 G) sr., Skylar Hebert (5-10 G) jr., Mikayla Silm (5-9 G) jr., Alex Hallanbeck (6-0 F) jr., Dallas Austin (5-10 G) jr. w Outlook: Nurenberg is a returning all-area honorable mention and one of five returning players. Incoming juniors must contribute, but have the potential to keep the Redwings in contention.
BOYS BASKETBALL CAAC Red Coaches prediction: 1. Sexton, 2. Waverly, 3. Jackson Lumen Christi, 4. Owosso, 5. St. Johns, 6. Mason, 7. Jackson Northwest. Top player: Denzel Valentine, Sexton League outlook: This season could look a lot like last season in the Red, with co-champions Sexton and Waverly expected to battle again for the top spot. With a number of strong guards and few strong posts this winter, Lumen Christi’s 6-foot-7 Dan Chilcote should keep the Titans in the hunt. ST. JOHNS w Last season: 6-15, sixth w Coach: Caleb Miller, fifth season w Returning starters: Scott Besko (5-9 G) sr., Jon Harden (6-0 G) jr. w Other contributors: Kevin Root (6-1 F/C) sr., Chad Vandenberg (6-7 C) sr., Zach Glanz (6-4 F/C) jr., Nate Feldpausch (6-4 G/F) jr. w Outlook: The Redwings will start a solid backcourt, backed by all-league honorable mention Besko — the team’s leading scorer at 11.3 points per game last season — and Harden. There is some size and depth in the post, and juniors Feldpausch and Glanz will be expected to contribute immediately.

Top player: Austin Hull, Grand Ledge/Waverly League outlook: Last year’s best are expected to be this winter’s contenders, with reigning champion Jackson
Lumen Christi the favorite and reigning runner-up DeWitt/ St. Johns expected to give the biggest push. Grand Ledge/Waverly should bounce back from last year’s rare lower-division finish. The Comets/Warriors are off to a 4-0 start. DEWITT/ST. JOHNS w Last season: 17-8-2, second in CAAC w Coach: Fred Hingst, fourth season w Returning starters: Ian Yetsko (sr., forward), Troy Wilson (soph., forward), Alex Zuker (sr., goaltender). w Other contributors: Josh McCarthy (jr., forward), Ryan Carey (sr., defenseman), Adam Frechen (jr., defenseman), Freddy Boijer (sr., goaltender). w Outlook: DeWitt/St. Johns is led by CAAC first-team selection senior Ian Yetsko, who finished last season with 14 goals and 18 assists. DeWitt/St. Johns has added a few young travel players into the fold which should help their depth. They are looking for their sixth consecutive season with at least 17 wins.

Sexton/Eastern Top swimmer: Nick Grider, St. Johns Top diver: Brennan LaBar, St. Johns Outlook: St. Johns will be the preseason favorite to continue its CAAC Red dominance this season. The common theme among the other teams in the Red will be their ability to replace seniors from last year. If that can happen, the league standings could become very interesting down the final stretch of the season. ST. JOHNS w Last season: first w Coach: Kim Brewbaker, 10th season w Top returnees: Nick Grider, sr. (freestyle, breaststroke, backstroke, butterfly), Alex Harry, sr.

(butterfly, sprint), Jerry Cupples, jr.

Carson City-Crystal w Top player: Abbey Hengesbach, Pewamo-Westphalia w League outlook: P-W is a heavy favorite led by Hengesbach, a four-year varsity player who could have the Pirates ranked among the best in the state in Class C at the start. But if the coaches are correct, any of the top eight teams could impact the race, with this league the most experienced top-to-bottom in mid-Michigan. FULTON w Last season: 7-14, seventh w Coach: Boone McEwen, fourth season w Returning starters: Brianna Fuller (5-9 G/F) sr., Monica Acker (5-9 F) sr. w Other contributor: Ashlee Davis (5-6 G) soph. w Outlook: Fuller and Acker are both four-year starters, and Fuller earned an all-league honorable mention last season. They’ll help key a lineup that should be able to score and get up and down the floor, but will focus on improving defense and rebounding. Davis started at point guard at the end of last season and should provide a boost. FOWLER w Last season: 11-11, sixth w Coach: Nathan Goerge, first season w Returning starter: Krista Miller (5-6 G) sr. w Other contributors: Krista Jandernoa (5-7 G) sr., Lindsey Hufnagel (5-6 G) sr., Elizabeth Blackwell (5-6 G) sr. w Outlook: The Eagles will have a mostly-new starting lineup and a new coach, and will rely on seniors to lead during the transition. Goerge is an alum and coached both girls and boys at the junior high level.

with 14 points in the loss to Laingsburg. Laingsburg was the CMAC preseason coaches’ pick for to be a top contender in the league. “I was happy with our hustle; that’s one thing that we have been consciously working on,” first-year Fowler coach Nate Goerge said. “We have to take care of the turnovers. We showed some good signs, but there’s definitely room for improvement.” Fowler fell behind 6-2 in the first quarter before tying the game at 14 on a twopointer by Miller with an assist from Jandernoa. Miller scored 13. Laingsburg’s Aleah Mitchell hit her third three-pointer of the first half to give the Wolfpack a 17-14 lead. Fowler responded with a basket from Thelen and a three by Jandernoa to knot the score at 19-all. Fowler took its first lead of the game on a three by Jandernoa to put the Eagles up 22-21. The Eagles held a 27-24 lead until the final minute of the first half when Laingsburg’s Shelby Hurst hit a three pointer to tie the score at 27. Fowler shooters went
cold in the third quarter, scoring only one basket on a jumper by Schomisch with 12 seconds left, cutting the Wolfpack lead to 35-29. Baskets by Schomisch, Hufnagel and Miller tied the score at 35-all with 5:20 left in the fourth quarter. Laingsburg scored seven unanswered points before Miller made a free throw to stop the Wolfpack run. Trailing by seven points late in the game, Miller stole a Laingsburg pass and drove the court for a layup. Miller scored two more times in the final two minutes, the first on a rebound and put back and then scored the last two Eagle points from the free-throw line. Hufnagel scored six points. Schomisch had five points. Thelen scored four points. Blackwell had two points. Mitchell led the Wolfpack with 22 points. Hurst had 10 points.

In the book’s preface Zhao writes: “But while I was going through the reform policies, scholarly writings, and online discussion forums and blogs about education in China, I realized that what China wants is what America is eager to throw away -- an education that respects individual talents, supports divergent thinking, tolerates deviation, and encourages creativity; a system in which the government does not dictate what students learn or how teachers teach; and culture that does not rank or judge the success of a school, a teacher, or a child based on only test scores in few subjects determined by the government.” Ravitch’s book indicts the No Child Left Behind l (NCLB) law and affirms many of Zhao’s ideas. Ravitch, former assistant secretary of education and a leader in the drive to create a national curriculum, examines her career in education reform and repudiates positions that she once staunchly advocated.
Drawing on more than 40 years of research and experience, Ravitch critiques today’s most popular ideas for restructuring schools, including privatization, standardized testing, punitive accountability, and the multiplication of charter schools. Ravitch writes, “NCLB was a punitive law based on erroneous assumptions about how to improve schools. It assumed that reporting test scores to the public would be an effective lever for school reform.” Members of the St. Johns school board are committed to educational excellence and will continue to schedule professional development/work session days, according to Tennant. These special meetings will include book studies, discussion of the strategic plan, along with discussions focusing on additional topics of study. “The board realizes the importance of these special meeting days, where it can focus on a single topic area, spending a couple of hours

ST. JOHNS –St. Johns Public Schools Board of Education members are hitting the books under the guidance of Superintendent Ken Ladouceur as one of the steps in formulating the district’s strategic plan. In recent months, board members have read “Catching Up or Leading the Way “by Yong Zhao, a professor at Michigan State University and “The Death and Life of the Great American School System” by Diane Ravitch. “Both books were eyeopening, but I really enjoyed the book by Dr. Zhao,” board president Bill Tennant said. “He spends a great deal of time in his book talking about the trend in education in the U.S. to emphasize performance on standardized tests as opposed to teaching and learning that emphasizes a broad range of talents, including critical thinking, interpersonal skills and creativity.” Ladouceur explains that the reading is part of larger discussion that began even before he came to the district in 2009. “With the development of the district’s strategic plan, we asked the board to define what we want education in St. Johns to look like,” he said. “What types of skills do we want graduates of St. Johns schools to take with them.” Tennant said that while the district is obligated to deliver the state’s defined curriculum, the methods for doing so and the emphasis can vary. “We thus face the choice of what we want: a diversity of talents, of individuals who are passionate, curious, self-confident, and risk taking; or a nation of excellent test takers, outstanding performers on math and reading tests,” says Zhao in his book. As part of the follow up to their reading, Zhao met with members of the school board and administration during one of the board’s strategic planning sessions in order to shed additional light on the concepts discussed in his book.
