DeWITT — City ofﬁcials are narrowing a list of candidates for the city’s top administrative job and hope to begin interviewing candidates next month. Hiring Solutions, of Okemos, screened about 100 applicants and brought back 25 names to the City Council, Mayor Jim Rundborg said. They’ve since narrowed that list to eight or nine candidates and hope to reduce it further by the time the Council meets on Dec. 21, Rundborg said. “By then, hopefully, we’ll have it down to three or four candidates we’d like to interview,” he said. The city is looking to replace former City Administrator Chris Olson, who left in September after about 18 months with the city. For now, Interim City Administrator Lisa Graysen is running the day-to-day operations of the city.

“We’re looking for someone who has the right experience and someone who is going to fall in love with the city of DeWitt, just like we did when we moved here,” Rundborg said. “We’re just trying to find the right person to make the city move with us.” Hiring Solutions is conducting background checks and online interviewing to narrow the list, Rundborg said. Rundborg said he saw five or six candidates on the current list who would fit the criteria the city has set for a new manager. He declined to release names at this point in the process. The Council hopes to conduct interviews by mid-January and have a new city administrator on board by the end of February, he said. The city administrator is the city’s chief financial officer and manages daily operations. Olson, who came to DeWitt after a stint in Marshall, resigned to manage his father’s dental practice in northern Michigan.

Warrants expected for suspects in copper thefts By KEN PALMER kpalmer@lsj.com

They determined that the four suspects - two men and two women - had sold about 1,400 pounds of copper to a scrap yard in Shiawassee County over a seven-day period and received about $3,900. The suspects are believed to be responsible for well over 100 metal thefts across the state, including the Detroit and Grand Rapids area, township police said. The department expected to bring warrant requests in their case to the Clinton County Prosecutor’s ofﬁce last Thursday.

LJ-0100051394

BATH TWP. — Township police were expected to seek warrants late last week against four suspects in the theft of copper from a cell tower on Nichols Road. The Nov. 29 incident was among numerous similar metal thefts the suspects are believed to have committed across southern Michigan, including many in the greater Lansing area, township police said.

Police in other jurisdictions are investigating whether their incidents may be related. Over the past six months, DeWitt Township police handled several complaints involving the theft of copper from cell tower sites, Chief Brian Russell said. Investigators are trying to determine if the Bath suspects are responsible, he said. Bath police began checking with area scrap metal yards after receiving information about the Nichols Road incident.

DeWITT TWP. — A Lansing man was arrested on an outstanding warrant after he passed out and was taken to a hospital by EMS.

My wife Kathy and I have just returned from a trip to Asia, where we spent time in Singapore, and Sri Lanka, the island nation off the southern tip of India that used to be called Ceylon. It sure feels good to get back home after living out of our suitcases in 90-degree plus temperatures and very high humidity. The jet lag is tough, but it’s great to see the pine trees and sniff the fresh Michigan air. No doubt it; I continue to believe “home” is the most wonderful word in the English language. That said, perhaps the greatest thing about traveling is the change in perspective it brings. There’s no substitute for seeing with your own eyes, hearing with your own ears and touching with your own fingers all kinds of different people living in very different places. People, that is, who are also building a culture that’s very different from our own. The thing that impressed me most: Although they were too polite to say so out loud, many Asians believe America and the West have entered a historical phase of terminal decline. That wasn’t the case during the years immediately after World War II, when America was top dog around the world. We were richer, more powerful, and our people better educated than anybody else. We had an optimistic and entrepreneurial culture that had survived the Great Depression, won the war and had much to teach the rest of the world about democracy and an open society. These days, however, we look very different. Relatively speaking, we look and feel much poorer. Our economy is struggling to recover from the Great Recession. Our finances stink. Our national budget facing trillion-dollar deficits as far as you can see and we’re in hock big time … especially to China. We don’t seem to have much of a national competitive strategy to succeed in a world that is flat, hot and crowded, in the words of author Tom Friedman. We need brainpower, but we’re short-changing our educational system, whether at the university or the K-12 level. We need all the entrepreneurial drive we can muster. More than half the companies founded in Silicon Valley over the last quarter

century were started by the foreign-born. Nevertheless, we erect all the barriers we can against immigration. Looked at by developing nations abroad, our version Phil Power of a democratic society doesn’t stack up very well. Nor do our decisions seem very rational. By contrast, Sri Lanka’s president Mahinda Rajapaksa last year won a 25-year long civil war against the terrorist Tamil “Liberation Tigers” with weapons bought with help from China. The Americans declined to help, on grounds of “human rights violations.” Now the Chinese are funding all sorts of Sri Lankan projects – a big port in the south, hydroelectric dams, roads – and you may assume they expect a big return on their investment. Rajapaksa won re-election by a landslide this year. His brother, Basil Rajapaksa, says that in Sri Lanka the era of “ruler kings” has begun. Singapore, which today looks like a hyper-prosperous Asian version of Geneva, is largely the creation of Lee Kuan Yew, an authoritarian figure who held power from 1959 to 1990 and brooked no meaningful opposition for most of that time. China itself, of course, is a dictatorship which doesn’t even try for the fig leaf of “democratic authoritarianism.” By contrast, our politics is dominated by special interests who feed (and feed off) our narcissistic, hyper-partisan politicians. Increasingly, those we elect to lead us refuse to see that working in the national interest is more important than getting re-elected. Accordingly, America increasingly resembles the giant tied down by midgets in Jonathan Swift’s classic satire, Gulliver’s Travels. Asians more and more believe the way to get things done is decidedly not through a Western system of democracy. Today, they believe that -- in our case, anyway -- leads to ungovernable nations plunging toward economic crisis, driven by powerful special interests. Those include the elderly fighting increasing the age of retirement; the young who resist reform in the schools and workers who want to

Letters to the editor Police food drive a great success

On Dec. 4 three police agencies – DeWitt Township, DeWitt City and Bath Township – set up police vehicles in front of both entrances at Meijer. Ofﬁcers stood outside their vehicles and encouraged customers to buy some extra non-perishable foods to donate to the food pantry at Redeemer Church. It helped that Meijer was featuring a 10 for 10 and 11th item free program. Good timing! We un-

loaded six SUVs and they hold a lot of food! We are so grateful to the police departments for organizing this event and for their care and concern. This resulted in one of the largest food drives we have ever had. The real success of course is due to the outpouring of support from the DeWitt community because they’re the ones who ﬁlled those SUVs! DeWitt residents obviously care about those less fortunate, and it showed. Jacqui Rokos, Redeemer Food Pantry Team

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.

cling to outmoded work rules and unsustainably high pay. I don’t necessarily agree with all their views of us, nor with everything they are doing in Asia. But being there and having this point of view slap you in the face makes you think. So where does that leave me? I come away from Asia knowing once again that home is, after all, where the heart is -- and where we must make a stand to make things better. What my trip has done is pep me up for our fresh challenge here in Michigan. We‘ve got a chance now to turn over a new leaf, toss out years of gridlock and denial and try something new to reinvent our state. The great English atomic physicist Ernest Rutherford once said, “Gentlemen, we have money; therefore we must think.” What a great challenge for our state! Now that I’ve been in places that have given me new perspectives on our Michigan and our way of life, I’m anxious to, once again, start thinking. *** Editor’s Note: Former newspaper publisher and University of Michigan Regent Phil Power is a longtime observer of Michigan politics and economics and a former chairman of the Michigan chapter of the Nature Conservancy.

Books make perfect gifts Books make the perfect Christmas present. This year there are so many appealing titles out there that it can make it possible to use a Michigan theme for your literary gift giving. Bryan Gruley’s second book about Starvation Lake came out this summer. “The Hanging Tree” revisits the small northern Michigan town where hockey is the most important game in town. Gus Carpenter returned to the town where he starred in high school hockey after he had a spectacular failure at the big city newspaper in Detroit. He is editing the small town newspaper and working for a younger man who places bottom line costs above journalistic integrity. Grace is a young woman who had grown up in Starvation Lake, then returned and took a menial local job, leaving everyone wondering about her past. When her body is found hanging in the local “shoe tree”, Gus tries to make some sense

of the situation. The unstable finances of local government may be part of the equation. Joseph Heywood writes about Grady Service, a “woods cop” who works the Upper Peninsula for the DNR. In “Shadow of the Wolf Tree”, Grady and a friend find 80-year-old skeletal remains while out fishing. Do these bones that are sprinkled with gold dust connect with the death of a trout fisherman on opening day? A large tract of land is heavily fenced and is run by security that will allow no visitors. Why? Several story lines leave the reader wondering how these and other unusual events could be related. Jaimy Gordon is the author of this year’s winner of The National Book Award.

Although “Lord of Misrule” is not set in Michigan, Ms. Gordon teaches creative writing at Western Michigan University. The book’s action happens at a West Virginia horse racing track. The desperation is portrayed as experienced by trainers, both the hopeful and the defeated. Gamblers win and lose. Is it possible that Henry Ford learned how to put together an assembly line from Santa Claus? Matt Faulkner’s children’s book “The Night Henry Ford Met Santa” has little Edsel Ford telling his father to ask Santa Claus for advice when Henry needs a way to cheaply assemble his Model T in 1908. Henry gets a road trip to the North Pole to watch how the elves assemble toys. This book is both a fun Christmas story and a child’s introduction to the basic facts of Henry Ford’s work.

Watching a performance can be enchanting for the audience, the costumes, the scene changes, and the actors illuminate the stage with excitement. The audience becomes so enthralled with the show they forget that the actors are normal, everyday, kind people. One of these talented people is Rick Pessagno, an ensemble member from “9 to 5”, as well as, the assistant dance captain, and under study for both Dick and Tinsworthy. Rick will be performing in “9 to 5” which is scheduled to perform at the Wharton Center from Dec. 15 through Dec. 19. “9 to 5” is a musical about three female coworkers who try to take control of the company they work for, along the way they learn, even in a male

dominated era, there’s nothing they can’t do. “9 to 5” is based on the 1980 movie, starring Dolly Parton, and the hit song “9 to 5” by Dolly Parton. Pessagno began his career at a young age, even as a kid he always loved to dance. He enrolled in dance classes at his sister’s dance school and at the age 15 he began performing in high school. At 19, Rick was in his ﬁrst Broadway show, “Hellzapoppin.” Rick has also just ﬁnished an 18-month tour of “Fiddler On the Roof,” some of Rick’s Broadway credits include, “42nd Street, “Sophis-

ticated Ladies”, “Whoopee,” “Cats,” and “Mamma Mia.” Working on a Broadway musical, like “9 to 5” takes a lot of work, but it is also exciting and fun. As an ensemble member Pessagno, must learn all of the choreography, blocking, and vocals. He also has many responsibilities as the assistant dance captain, and as an understudy. As an understudy, Rick must learn all of the lines, the blocking, and be prepared to perform. Rick enjoys working on “9 to 5,” because the environment and cast are peaceful, creative, and full of good energy. The overall journey is an open and loving experience. Pessagno’s advice for anyone interested in the performing

arts is “Enjoy the ride, enjoy the experience, and don’t get hung up in your ego.” Traveling on the road with a Broadway show can be tiring, but performing and becoming close with cast members is worth all the exhaustion. The experiences that the cast has while traveling and

the places they visit are extraordinary. In Rick’s free time he enjoys going to the gym to stay in shape, and touring the city he is performing in. Rick says this show is “Fantastic, fun, talented, colorful, and well done.” It’s sure to be a great show with lot’s of energy, a fabulous

sound track, and an outstanding cast. Kerissa Bradley is a DeWitt High School Student who is participating in Lansing Community Newspapers and the Wharton Center’s Rising Star program designed to encourage young journalists’ interest in the performing arts.

In fear of stating the obvious, cold weather has arrived! As such, are you preparing your vehicle’s coolant system for the freezing temperatures? Ideally you should take advantage of the newer, less toxic form of antifreeze. Notice, I said less toxic NOT nontoxic. Presently, the most widely used auto and truck antifreeze contains ethylene glycol. This engine saving product, is incredibly toxic to animals! How so? It causes kidney failure! To make matters worse, most animals like its taste. Don’t kid your self, when it comes to ethylene glycol, it matters not if it is old or new, consuming even a tiny amount (cats one teaspoon and a 50-pound dog one tablespoon), if they are not treated within hours, they will die! Once again, I will remind you that, most pets love the taste of antifreeze! Toxicity occurs as a result of kidney failure. How is this possible? The ani-

Pet health Dr. Stephen R. Thimmig

mal’s liver converts the antifreeze into a product that destroys the filtering mechanism found in the kidneys. Subsequently, the kidneys are unable to get rid of waste products occurring as a result of normal daily activities. Within days, vomiting starts, then dehydration sets in, shortly there after they succumb. This is one time where prompt treatment literally means the difference between life and death! Formerly, IV vodka (no joke) was administered continuously over 48 hours. The goal was to occupy the liver so that the kidneys could eliminate the antifreeze in its unchanged i.e. non-toxic state. In this case, patients would often succumb to liver or heart failure.

Presently, to stop the liver enzyme responsible for changing the antifreeze into its kidney toxic state, over an extended period, 4-methyl pyrazole is given IV. As a result, the kidneys eliminate the antifreeze unchanged i.e. in a non-toxic state. Although considerably more expensive, it is safer for the patient than is the IV vodka

method. Either way, there is considerable risk and the outcome is not always favorable. No matter what regimen is used, treatment MUST be initiated within hours of ingestion! What can you do, as a pet owner, to keep your furry family member safe? Remember that animals love the taste of this vehicle saving solution. As

such, it is essential that you take extra care when disposing of spent antifreeze. Pouring it on the ground or leaving it sitting around is a no no! Correct leaks as soon as they are noticed. Remember, tiny amounts are potentially fatal. Using the newer products means you have selected a less toxic product. But remember, it is

Domestic dispute report leads to one arrest By KEN PALMER kpalmer@lsj.com

BATH TWP. — Township police responded to a domestic dispute involving two women, a kitchen knife, a pair of scissors and a bowl of spaghetti. In the end, no one wanted to press charges. An ofﬁcer was sent to the Crossing Place apartments on the afternoon of Dec. 5 after a caller reported a loud argument in a hallway. The 22-year-old victim, who had locked herself in a bathroom when the ofﬁcer arrived, said she and the suspect were arguing in the bedroom when the suspect retrieved a bowl of hot spaghetti and threw it on her.

As the argument continued, the suspect grabbed a kitchen knife and swung it at the other woman. The blade broke off the handle, and she was able to grab it, the victim said. The victim said she shut herself in the bathroom when the suspect grabbed a pair of scissors and waved it at her. The suspect, 19, admitted dousing the victim with spaghetti but denied it was hot. She said she never intended to harm the victim. The victim declined to press charges, but the suspect was arrested for being a minor in possession of alcohol, police said.

Local dancers to take part in Nutcracker

LANSING — Greater Lansing Ballet Company’s (GLBC) performance of the Nutcracker Ballet ushers in the sights and sounds of the holiday season. Performances are scheduled for Dec. 18 at 7 p.m. and Dec. 19 at 2 p.m. at Fairchild Theatre on the campus of Michigan State University. The performances will feature guest artists Dorothy O’Shea Overbey and JohnMark Owen from New York City. DeWitt resident Barbara Banasikowski Smith, founding artistic director of GLBC, is the choreographer. “Every year I create something different,” said Smith. “Although I follow a traditional Nutcracker story, which I saw when I was in St. Petersburg, Russia, I use the star role, Marie, as a participant in Act II Kingdom of Sweets rather than a viewer. I challenge the dancers by doing this.” As an award-winning choreographer, many of Smith’s original choreographic works have been selected for performances in the Regional Dance America Mid-States festivals since 1995. Her choreography has been compared to Anthony Tudor’s choreography by bringing awareness to social issues. She has established international relationships with dance artists by designing one of the ﬁrst cross-cultural exchange programs. She has designed and implemented three international dance exchanges. Smith’s connection with the Vaganova Ballet Academy started in 1996. She was invited in June of 2006 to the Vaganova Ballet Academy in St. Petersburg, Russia to teach during the International Teachers’ Seminar and the Vaganova Grand Prix Competition. She was privileged to teach at the historical Vaganova Academy which has produced the

some of the greatest dancers in the world. She received a document stating that she taught at the Vaganova Ballet Academy and was awarded with the Vaganova method teacher’s certiﬁcate. Her guest teaching invitations include Alexandra Ballet of St. Louis, Mo., Interlochen Arts Center and the Regional Dance America Second National Festival in Pittsburgh, Pa. DeWitt resident Mackenzie Callahan, an apprentice to the senior company, will share the stage with guest artists from New York. Mackenzie is in the eighth grade at DeWitt Junior High School. She will perform as one of the children in Act I Party Scene, a Color Guard to Nutcracker in Battle Scene, in Snow Scene as Marie journeys to the Kingdom of Sweets. Mackenzie, as a resident of the Kingdom of Sweets,

dances at entrance of the Sugar Plum Fairy and her prince who meet their visitor, Marie. As entertainment for Marie the prince commands a performance. The ﬁst dance is the vivacious Spanish Dance in which Mackenzie performs. She is also in the colorful number of Waltz of the Flowers. Bath resident Grace Chiaravalli makes her debut in the Nutcracker. Grace is a third grader in home school. She dances the role of a guest at Marie’s family celebration. She performs as a mouse in Battle Scene and is a Baker in Act II who with other Bakers create a special treat for their visitor, Marie in the Kingdom of Sweets. Tickets may be purchased by calling GLBC directly at 517-372-9887 or by calling 1-800-Wharton. — From the Greater Lansing Ballet Company

DeWitt-Bath Review

Early detection is critical to preventing diabetes Residents should learn to recognize warning signs ST. JOHNS — 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 dia-

betes 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 diabetes can certain-

ly 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. — From Mid-Michigan District Health Department

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

Area radio host visits DeWitt Library Dec. 15 DeWITT — The DeWitt District Library is hosting awardwinning syndicated morning radio and television host Michael Patrick Shiels on Wednesday, Dec. 15, at 7 p.m. to discuss his new book “Invite Yourself To The Party!” Shiels comes across the airwaves every weekday morning on Michigan Talk Network. His book outlines how being assertive and standing out from the crowd can get you invited to the party. Shiels invites his readers to the party, showing them the intimate details of his wild and memorable experiences. “If I’m throwing a party, Michael Patrick is going to be on my invitation list. No one knows how to mix it up with all people, and all subjects matter better than Mr. Shiels. Now you can be the life of the party from the very best there is!” - Jim Nantz, CBS Sports. In addition to “Invite Yourself to the Party!” Shiels has authored nine books including collaborations with Larry King and Donald Trump. He has served on advance teams for two Presidential campaigns and was on staff at PGA Tour Headquarters. A book signing will be included following the program and copies of “Invite Yourself To The Party” will be available at that time for purchase. Additional information regarding programs and services offered at the DeWitt District Library can be found online at www.dewittlibrary.org. — From the DeWitt Public Library

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 vac-

cine 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

What they lack in size they’ll make up for in athleticism as they push the tempo and try to wear opponents down. Droste was all-state last season and joined on the all-league team by Acre and Twait.

But he’s one of few with varsity experience, and the team also got a late start after the Panthers’ state semiﬁnal football run. DeWitt should be a much better team as the season goes on and got a bonus in Whitney, who moved to the area from Tennesse e.

Usual contenders Pewamo-Westphalia, Bath and Laingsburg are all expected to be in the mix again.

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.

Garrity is a four-year player and Bleech, Chaffee and Micheaux are in their third. Garrity is a two-time all-league pick and combines with Wahrer to give Bath a tough post presence. Micheaux earned an all-league honorable mention last season and is in her third season running the point. Hayes started as a sophomore and with Cender and Hawkins doesn’t allow the team to lose much when Poppema goes to the bench.

DeWitt-Bath Review

Lady Panthers edge Raiders in ﬁnal seconds By SCOTT YOSHONIS

syoshonis@lsj.com

PORTLAND — Dena Droste scored 15 points, none more important than her two free throws with 3.7 seconds left, to lift DeWitt to a hard-fought 41-39 non-league girls basketball win over Portland Friday night. The Raiders (0-2) had played from behind for most of the game, but tied it up with a dramatic late flurry, a 7-0 run capped off by a baseline jumper from Sarah Trierweiler that tied the game 39-39 with less than 10 seconds left. The Panthers (2-0) aided in that run by missing the front ends of two one-and-one opportunities, one of them by Droste with 23.3 seconds left. Droste said that the previous miss was on her mind when the game was on the line. “I had to redeem myself,” Droste said. “I was pretty confident going to the line, I shoot like 500 of them in practice. I just had to calm down.” After Trierweiler’s tying shot, and a timeout by Panther coach Bill McCullen, DeWitt had 7.7 seconds to go the length of the court to prevent overtime. Droste took the inbounds pass under her own basket and dribbled over the half-court line and was brushed by Portland’s Kelsey Spitzley, who was whistled for the foul near the sideline. “Maybe it was a foul and maybe it wasn’t,” Portland coach Ray Kimball said. “But any good official will let the kids de-

cide the game and not call a foul with three seconds on the clock.” Trierweiler led Portland with 13 points, and Allison Russell added 10 for the Raiders. Stephanie Twait added 10 points for DeWitt, who now have two statement wins over two of the top programs in the area. “It’s a great win,” McCullen said. “We start out the season on the road at Holt and on the road at Portland, those are two pretty tough draws, and to come out of it with two ‘W’s,’ we’re obviously very pleased.” DeWitt led for the bulk of the game, but could never really shake the Raiders, who last led at 11-10 halfway through the second quarter. The Panthers led by six at the half, 19-13, but Portland climbed back to within one, 26-25, on a three-pointer by Spitzley with 1:53 left in the third quarter. Droste took a steal coast-to-coast to give DeWitt a 39-32 lead with 1:34 left in the fourth, but again the Raiders reeled them back in, with a runner by Taylor Roe and a clutch three by freshman Allison Russell before Trierweiler’s tying jumper, all in the last 1:19 of the game. McCullen said that he was conﬁdent that Droste would come through, given a second chance. “I felt pretty good about it,” he said. “To Photo by Scott Yoshonis be honest, I was very surprised when she missed one. The type of kid she is, she loves challenges, and she just was not going to DeWitt’s Averie Coon (left) and Portland’s Kelsey Spitzley chase after a loose ball in the Panthers 41-39 win over the Raiders. miss the second one.”

SARANAC — The Lady Bees rolled over league opponents in their first two CMAC games, beating Saranac 42-34 Dec. 3 and Portland St. Patrick 55-45 Dec. 7. Bath opened the season with a 42-31 win over nonleague Ovid-Elsie Dec. 1. “We are happy to go 3-0 on the road,” Bath coach Craig Poppema said. “We weren’t looking forward to having the first three games on the road.” Alex Cender led the Bees with 11 points in the win over Saranac. “She was a sophomore up on varsity last year and she had a couple of decent games,” Poppema said about Cender. “She’s gotten a lot quicker and she’s playing with a lot of confidence. She’s not afraid to put it up.” Bath opened up with a 12-8 first-quarter lead, then held the Redskins to three points in the second quarter to go up 26-11 at halftime. Bath senior Kate Garrity scored nine points. Marie Micheaux had seven points Emily Bleech, Sam Hayes and Nichole Wahrer each scored five points. Saranac’s Kaitlyn Theisen scored 19 points to lead the Redskins. Poppema said that throughout the game he had Bleech guarding Theisen, who earned all-state honors last year. Bleech held Theisen to eight points. Theisen scored 11 points in the final minutes of the game when Poppema substituted freely. “She’s who we put on their top player,” he said. “She’s

huge defensively.” Garrity had a break-out game against St. Patrick, scoring a season-high 20 points. “She’s going to get a lot of double-team pressure and in the first couple of games she deferred to Alex,” Poppema said. “In this game she was going to take it into the paint. She had 12 rebounds… She was pretty dominant.” The teams played evenly in the first quarter with Bath holding a 15-14 lead to start the second period. Bath outscored the Shamrocks 19-8 in the second quarter to take a 34-22 halftime lead. St. Patrick gained some ground in the third quarter, outscoring the Bees 12-9, but would get no closer. Cender tossed in nine points and Bleech had eight. Hayes scored seven points. Amanda Chaffee and Sara Hawkins each scored four points. Allison Werner scored 11 points to lead the Shamrocks. Cender scored 21 points in the Bees’ win over OvidElsie. She had four three-pointers. The Marauders kept the game close throughout the first three quarters with Bath holding a one-point lead. Bath attacked the basket in the fourth quarter, scoring 20 points to seal the win. Bleech had seven points for the Bees, including a three-pointer. Garrity and Micheaux had five points apiece. Hayes tossed in four points. The Bees hit 9-of-14 shots from the free-throw line. Cender was 5-for-7 from the charity stripe. Kessey Beno led the Marauders with 14 points.

DeWitt-Bath Review

You deserve a rapid recovery from your hysterectomy. 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.
