ST. JOHNS — Douglas W. Cook, founder of Agro-Culture Liquid Fertilizers in St. Johns, passed away at his home on Dec. 12 at the age of 76. He had battled cancer for several years. Cook founded the local liquid fertilizer manufacturer with his son-in-law, Troy Bancroft, in the early 1980s. The business has grown into a national concern, with sales in nearly every state and three foreign countries. The ﬁrst production was in Fowler, with relocation to the St. Johns facility in 1985. There are currently three manufacturing locations, in Iowa, Kansas, and St. Johns, with another under construction at Ashley, Mich. The company now employs 75 people at various locations, and has received awards for environmental responsibility and been named to the Michigan Top 50 and Private 100 Companies due to its rapid growth. When Cook founded the Liquid business with Bancroft, he was breaking new ground. Liquid fertilizers were not used by most farmers and the industry was heavily oriented to dry products that had not changed

for decades. In a milestone achievement, he established a research farm in Essex Township northwest of St. Johns for the sole purpose of developing new fertilizer products and fertility programs for farm crops. The North Cook Central Research Station has become the largest facility in the nation devoted exclusively to crop fertility research. Work at the NCRS has enabled the creation of more efﬁcient fertilizer formulations and provided proof that major improvements could be made in the way crop fertility is managed. An industry colleague recently commented, “Cook’s legacy contribution is integrating innovation and technology with agricultural fertilizers, raising crop fertility to a level of efﬁciency comparable with what has been achieved in seed and equipment that revolutionized farming since World See Cook/page 4

ST. JOHNS — Motz Park, Clinton County’s first park, has been delighting visitors since its official opening in June 2010. But it isn’t only the thousands of visitors who have been impressed by the park. A da Vinci Award, recognizing the park’s universal accessibility, shows just how special the park and its design are. Rep. Paul Opsommer presented a proclamation to Jerry Jaloszynski, coordinator of the Clinton County Parks and Green Space Commission and Chuck Nelson, chairman of the Parks and Green Space Commission Board, at the Dec. 17 Clinton County Board of Commissioners meeting. The proclamation addressed the contributions Motz Park is making to the quality of life for residents and visitors to the park. It was read on the floor of both houses of the Michigan Legislature prior to being presented to Clinton County. The da Vinci awards benefit the National Multiple Sclerosis Society’s Michigan Chapter and have created an international forum recognizing the latest de-

ST. JOHNS — The St. Johns Middle School Orchestra had a special guest at their winter concert Dec. 2. Dr. Ken Ladouceur helped the 7th and 8th grade orchestra students by narrating the poem “Twas the Night Before Christmas.” The poem was set to music in a whimsical arrangement for orchestra and narration. When the two orchestra directors, Jennifer Parker and Justin Valla, were deciding on the concert music, they thought Dr. Ladouceur would be a great choice to narrate the piece. Ladouceur quickly agreed to help the orchestra students out and even agreed to wear a costume for the performance.

A joyful celebration of Christmas Students at St. Joseph School in St. Johns recalled the story of the birth of Jesus with singing and dancing at their annual Christmas musical show Dec. 16. This year, two babies had that honor of playing the part of the baby Jesus - one of them in the afternoon show and the other one in the evening show. The church was ﬁlled to capacity for both programs. Music directors for the program were Nancy Poff and Dorella Page-Hunter.

kits from our local district Guest health decolumn partments,” said OpsomPaul mer. “Radon Opsommer is a silent killer and is suspected to be the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States.” The Environmental Protection Agency estimates radon causes more than 21,000 lung cancer deaths in the United States annually -- including 600 in Michigan. The naturally occurring radioactive gas is found in almost all soil and rock, and is typically harmlessly diluted when it seeps

up through the ground into the air. Trouble can develop when it passes through openings in a building’s foundation ﬂoor or walls, where it can become more concentrated and over time increases the risk of contracting lung cancer. As part of the campaign, the Department of Natural Resources and Environment is partnering with local health departments to have low-cost test kits available in every county for $15 or less. Clinton and Gratiot counties are served by the Mid-Michigan District Health Department which has the kits available at no cost that includes postage and laboratory fees. MMDHD ofﬁces are located at 1307 E. Townsend Road in St. Johns and 151 Com-

merce Drive in Ithaca. For more information on radon and the test kits, contact MMDHD environmental health specialists Sarah Rottiers, (989) 227-3107, or Greg Price, (989) 875-1020. For those who are homebound or cannot get to their local health department during normal business hours, test kits are available to order online at http:// mi.radon.com. Like the local health department kits, these include postage and laboratory fees in the price. Test kits may also be available from hardware stores or home improvement centers, but not all include postage and analysis, so citizens are urged to read the packaging before making their purchase. — From Rep. Paul Opsommer

Clinton County youth mentoring open house is Jan. 11 ST. JOHNS — January is Michigan Mentoring Month and National Mentoring Month which was designed to help more people become aware of mentoring. To support the 2011 Michigan Mentoring Month, the Clinton County MSU Extension will mark the occasion by hosting an open house to highlight the work of current mentors within the program, share mentors’ stories, and the three years of progress data. Join them Tuesday, Jan. 11 from 6:30-8 p.m.

at the Clinton County Courthouse in St. Johns for refreshments, desserts, and appetizers. Since January 2008 the program has matched 115 youth with 61 adults and teenagers and currently has 45 mentors matched with 45 youth. Over this time, 91 percent of the mentees involved in the program feel there are more people who will help them out because of the relationship with their mentor. In addition, 84 percent of mentees involved in the

program over the last three years have felt more conﬁdent because of the relationship with their mentor. Visit the Clinton County 4-H Mentoring Open House Jan. 11 and learn how you can put the 2011 theme “Pass It On” into action. The event is celebrating and highlighting the everyday, ordinary people who are making a difference in Clinton County Youth Mentoring.

Learn about how to “Pass It On” by becoming a mentor or supporting the program. Mentors and supporters don’t need special skills - all they need to do is care about kids and be willing to volunteer about an hour a week. If you have questions, contact Clinton County MSU Extension Mentoring Coordinator Christine Sisung (989) 224-5239 or sisungch@msu.edu — From Clinton County MSU Extension

Celebrate winter with auxiliary snow day ST. JOHNS — By Jan. 29, the excitement of the holidays will have gone its way, leaving a perfect time to pay tribute to old man winter during Sparrow Clinton Auxiliary’s third annual “Snow Day at the Emerald.” Mark that as a red letter day on your calendar with the list of activities to begin at 3 p.m. That list will include such outdoor activities as cross country skiing, snowshoeing, hiking around the Emerald golf course and, of course, the popular late afternoon and evening bonﬁre offering a perfect venue for marshmallow roasting. If you’re an insider, there’ll be cards and Wii games along with musical entertainment by the Bill Brown band.

“We’re very pleased that Bill has again volunteered his time with us,” said co-chair Kathie Clock. “Bill’s unique style of entertainment lends a spirited setting to this event.” As you mark your calendar and prepare for the date, auxiliary members are currently busy contacting area businesses, recruiting participants for the featured chili cook off and hot cocoa competition. The ﬁrst chili contest was won by Robin Motz Ingalls and Dean Mazzolini captured the second match. Last year the hot chocolate contest was added and won by Anita Rositas. Each event provided much interest and

enthusiasm to the day’s theme. Tickets to “Snow Day” include not only the offered activities, but also a hot dog, hamburger and ﬁxings dinner along with an open bar. Where else can you enjoy such a festive setting for only $15? “We’re looking forward to another fun day at the Emerald,” Clock said. “As with most auxiliary projects, this event is planned with intentions to raise funds for the hospital. We anticipate this year’s outing will be even more successful that the previous two.” Robin Motz Ingalls is serving as co-chair. — From Sparrow Clinton Hospital Auxiliary

Help Friends of The Maple River erect signs ST. JOHNS — The Friends of The Maple River is a 501C3 non-proﬁt conservation organization made up of citizens concerned about the health and wellbeing of the Maple River and its watershed. These citizens have banded together to help promote and foster the wise use of the river and its watershed, and to partner with landowners, other citizens, agencies and organizations, and with businesses, to help resolve social and conservation resource management issues that relate to the river and watershed. The Maple River watershed encompasses some 937 square miles in Shiawassee, Clinton, Gratiot, Montcalm and Ionia counties. This river system has 404 miles of waterways that ﬂow year round. The accompanying water-

shed is unique in that most of the water ﬂow comes from the sides of the river system and not from the headwaters. More than 60 percent of the river ﬂow comes from groundwater and a significant portion comes from deep “Jurassic Red” bedrock that is highly mineralized. There is an area along the Maple River in western Clinton County, known as the salt marsh, where brine laden water seeps to the surface. In the early days, Native Americans utilized the brine to distill salt for their use and to use as a trading commodity. There was even a war between two Native American tribes (Sauks and Chippewas) to determine who would control the use of this salt marsh. The Maple River watershed stretches from south-

east of Owosso/Corunna in Shiawassee County to Laningsburg and DeWitt in Clinton County along the southern boundry to Ithaca in Gratiot County on the northern edge to west of Stanton in Montcalm County at the northwestern edge to Lyons/Muir where the Maple River enters the Grand River. The FOMR has a program of erecting watershed boundary signs along major roadways around the perimeter of the watershed. The purpose is to raise public awareness and understanding of the size and shape of the watershed, and to give the public some understanding how the entire area is inter-connected. With greater awareness, people will be better equipped to understand how the health of this watershed impacts their lives.

The watershed boundary signs are being installed at strategic locations on designated roadways by the appropiate county road commisions with the approval and authorization of adjacent property owners. If any individual, group or organization is interested in helping the FOMR with this program, they can underwrite one or more of these signs that cost $50 per sign. Donors will be recognized and listed on the organizations website friendsofthemapleriver.org. If you are interested or want more information about this program, contact Jon Morrison, president of the FOMR at (989) 224-1106, or write to FOMR at: Friends of the Courtesy photo Maple River, P.O.

The national program, currently in its 11th year, continues to be a major supporter of youth soccer.

It’s great to see families in the store, and the parents are as appreciative as the chil-

dren to receive a free soccer ball.” “We enjoy being able to offer such a successful program to our dealers and their communities again this year,” said Ashley Ramos, Uniroyal® Tire marketing communications manager. “Providing a national program, which is implemented on a local level, wouldn’t be possible without a solid commitment from dealers like Hub Tire Center.” For the latest information about the Uniroyal Soccer Program and Uniroyal® Tires, visit the brand’s website at www.UniroyalTires.com; to ﬁnd us on Facebook, visit www.facebook.com/UniroyalSoccer.

""""""""""""""""""""""" On Saturday, Nov. 27, 2010, TOPS MI 1634 St. Johns Tuesday morning group lost a wonderful member. Joe Young had been a member of our family since 3/25/2008. He was a quiet man until he got to know you. Joe had so many great stories to tell to anyone who would listen. He had been many places and done many things. Things that the rest of us can only hope to do. He rode his bicycle EVERYWHERE and in all kinds of weather. Each year his goal was to put more miles on his bike than his car. I would bet that most years he achieved that goal. He actually died doing what he loved. Riding his bike.

ST. JOHNS — With one eye to furthering education and the other to the importance of the printed word, St. Johns Kiwanis members have been keeping a busy schedule of delivering dictionaries to six elementary schools in the St. Johns area. The effort stems from a Kiwanis International program which began in 2002 and has resulted in over eight million dictionaries ending up in the hands of elementary students throughout the United States. Rhoda Hacker, chair of the local Kiwanis plan, explained that this year a total of 225 dictionaries have been delivered to six elementary schools. Those buildings include Oakview, Gateway, Riley, Eureka, East Olive and St. Peters Lutheran. “It’s exciting to see the

children react to their own, personal, dictionary,” she said. “This is another Kiwanis project that is also rewarding to our members.” Part of the delivery process involves the placement of an adhesive name tag on the opening pages of each dictionary to enable the student to make personal identiﬁcation, enhancing a sense of ownership. Workers at Community Resource Volunteers, under the direction of Bill Richards – a Kiwanis member – secured the name tag in each dictionary. Along with Hacker, other Kiwanians assisting in delivery were Chris Bouck, Tony Hufnagel, Dave Hunt, Roberta O’Connor, Marilyn Thelen, Theresa Fedewa Wells and Carol Wooley. — From St. Johns Kiwanis Club

Messiah Sing was joyful event

I would like to thank everyone who attended St. Johns’ third annual Messiah Sing, “Make a Joyful Noise” on

Dec. 4. Thanks go to all the wonderful singers that attended, to our all-volunteer orchestra under the direction of Justin Valla, and to our wonderful soloists Ashley Bowen and Andrea Makarauskas. Everyone helped make this a memorable event for our midMichigan community. It gave meaning to the Christmas Season and beneﬁted the Wilson Center Auditorium Project. The Wilson Center Auditorium is a beautiful setting for this annual sing. The new sound system enhanced the afternoon event – the new seating makes every program more comfortable to attend. The WC auditorium is a wonderful performance venue. Donations are still needed to complete this ongoing project. Checks should be written to the “St. Johns Schools Foundation For Excellence” (SJSFFE) and sent to the Wilson Auditorium Project, PO Box 331, St. Johns, MI 48879. Donations of any size are welcome and are tax deductible. Marti Cooper Make a Joyful Noise Chairperson

ST. JOHNS — Redwing wrestlers dominated two of the top teams in the mid-Michigan area, beating CAAC Red Division rival Mason 57-9 and nonleague Holt 49-19 Dec. 15. The Redwings also took ﬁrst place at a 16-team Holland Invitational Dec. 18, defeating top-ranked teams from across the state. Against Mason the Redwings lost only two weight divisions. “They are the tough area teams,” Redwing Coach Zane Ballard said about beating Holt and Mason. “They had some real tough kids, but we matched up pretty well against them.” Against Mason, The Redwings Justin Hill pinned Devon Killebrew to win at 103 pounds. Zachary Hall pinned Perparim Ameni at 112 pounds for six more St. Johns points. Conor Youtsey, a two-time state champion for the Bulldogs, earned a 2-0 decision over Jacob Schmitt at 119 pounds.

Hartland is a top-ranked Division 1 team. “Last year we ended up third there, and we ended it getting banged up,” Ballard said. “This year it was a real solid tournament for us. It showed what we can do against top-ranked teams. It shows we are where we should be right now.” Winning all five matches for St. Johns were: Hall (103), Schmitt (119), B. Schafer (125), Pennell (130), Hayden (140), Curley (145), Wohlfert (152), Massa (171). Mike Schafer (160) and Dominguez (189) went 4-1. Schmitt was named the outstanding wrestler at the tournament.

St. Johns will wrestle at the Goodrich Invitational Dec. 30, facing several top-ranked teams in the state, including Detroit Catholic Central, Dundee, Richmond, Hesperia and Adrian. “It’s probably one of the toughest, if not the toughest tournament in the state,” Ballard said. “It will show us where we are and where we stand overall in the state.”
