Medical marijuana sales School busing consortium under review Herbal Center has 350 members, six licensed care-givers

The Herbal Center co-owner Rick Brown is one of six licensed caregivers at the Meridian Township dispensary. The facility, open since late 2010, serves patients, members and non-members with medical marihuana and marihuana-based “edibles”.

In whatever form it’s taken, the drug functions as a pain reliever, making it ideal for conditions not easily addressed through conventional medication. Particular strains of the drug have been identiﬁed as the best for particular ailments, Brown said. For example, one called “sour diesel” is rated as highly effective in Documentation combating migraine headaches.

There’s also “edibles” – anything from sweets to pasta dishes with the marijuana baked in. Patients skittish about smoking have other options for administration of the drug – liquids, tinctures and even capsules.

HASLETT – Proposed state cuts to school aid is causing local school district ofﬁcials to consider things they never imagined they’d have to. But the combination of decreasing enrollments and falling revenues has caused interest to build at Okemos, East Lansing and Haslett in joining an Ingham Countywide transportation consortium. The plan, which is still in the formative stages, is attractive because it may help local districts to shave expenses for getting kids to school and back home and for making trips to sporting events and for other extracurricular activities. IISD ﬁnance director Helen McNamara said a number of Ingham County districts have had both district level and board level discussions on the proposal, and some have approved resolutions. Besides Haslett, those approving resolutions are Dansville, Leslie, Stockbridge, Webberville and Williamston. McNamara said it’s her understanding East Lansing and Okemos have the resolution as an agenda item for their May 23 meetings. The Intermediate School District was to make a request last Friday for proposals from vendors to pro-

ous name like The Herbal Center, it’s little wonder people wander in and ask they can buy fresh basil or oregano. The herb in question isn’t meant for flavoring, although it is used in an array of “edibles” provided for certified clients. Welcome to the world of medical marijuana, where a drug to some is a lifesaver to others. Rick Brown opened the Lake Lansing Road dispensary in late 2010 on the site of a former laundromat. He is one of six licensed caregivers at the facility – three couples are co-owners – each of whom has the maximum of five patients and 12 plants per patient. The dispensary includes 3,300 square feet, not all of which is in use. An additional 600 square feet in a separate part of the strip mall contains staff offices. They hope a doctor working with them, but so far there have been no takers. For a one-time $20 membership fee, anyone with a medical marijuana card – which must be obtained

vide transportation to local schools, and then obtain commitments, with an addendum being allowed for East Lansing and Okemos, if the two school boards express interest. “There is no commitment. This is just among the group that will consider proposals,”McNamara said. Early plans for the transportation consortium call for the operations to start in September of 2011, or January of 2012. Dean Transportation has provided special education transportation for Ingham County schools for decades. It also has contracts with Eaton and Clinton intermediate school districts. McNamara said, “We have a 30-year history of providing bus transportation, and this could allow local districts to focus more on their resources on their core missions of

comes back,” Does this mean the Intermediate will come up with a proposal on providing bus service for districts. Yes.” Cook said the idea for the consortium got going earlier in the spring, when a couple of Ingham County districts voiced their interest in contracting transportation services. Cost savings to Haslett or any other district are unclear as yet, Cook said, other than they would vary depending on the district. Firm notions of savings should be available by late June. Haslett is still looking to make $2.6 million in cuts to their 2011-12 district budget, which Cook said is predicated on the original $300 cut in the per-pupil student foundation allowance. There is hope, however, that news of a $429 million revenue surplus will mean more moderate cuts in K-12 school funding. It’s likely more will be known by the time of the board’s next regular meeting at 7 p.m. Monday, June 13.

Many school districts want to be proactiveand area looking into this,” she said. “ In some cases it may save school districts money, it other cases, it may not,” Losch said. The Haslett School Board unanimously approved a resolution expressing interest in the proposed consortium at a special meeting May 16. The vote on the resolution had to be taken by May 20, which required the calling of the special meeting.

4 VOLUNTEERS MAKE DIFFERENCE TO EAST LANSING STUDENTS

MSU students ‘pay it forward’ in E. Lansing classes Dawn Parker dlparker@lsj.com

EAST LANSING – ‘Tis better to give than to receive, some wise author once wrote. A group of Michigan State University students in the Residential College of Arts and Humanities learned that lesson many times over this semester while participating in Dr. Donna Kaplowitz’s Civic Engagement and Public Education class. Kaplowitz, a member of the East Lansing school board, had her students volunteered in classrooms throughout the East Lansing Public Schools. Once there, they developed projects geared to both their own talents and community needs. The class culminated

May 4 with a reception at Snyder-Phillips Hall, during which the students awarded $4,500 in “Pay it Forward” grants. Grants went to the Whitehills Parent Council, the Edgewood Village Community and the East Lansing High School Parent Council. The Whitehills Parent Council will oversee four different projects – a ﬁfthgrade technology project at Whitehills; “Red Cedar Sings”, which will provide a CD of student-song songs from around the world to each family; library books on diversity and cultural competence at Donley Elementary, as well as funds toward an anti-bullying component in the curriculum. A group of Red Cedar students took part in the

It never ceases to amaze me as my students develop leadership and civic engagement skills that this experience provides.” — DONNA KAPLOWITZ ceremony, presenting several songs from different nations. Edgewood Village received $900 toward establishing a community garden and for literacy material, while the high school got $150 for a diversity conference held

April 21 and the Black Student Union received $868 to purchase seven digital cameras that will be available for use by students across the district. It was the ﬁrst time students worked on philanthropy in the classroom, Kaplowitz told

the audience. “It was very rewarding and very difﬁcult for students to choose award recipients,” she added. The students developed the criteria to evaluate the grants, devising a system of assigning points to each one. Some of the criteria included student participation in writing the grants; meeting the needs of a large population and addressing speciﬁc areas of interest including, but not limited to: diversity, achievement gap, college access, bullying and special education. Junior arts and humanities/art education major Augusta Morrison of Huntington Woods learned from her time at Glencairn Elementary. Morrison worked with the

orchestra teacher to establish a Morning Music Club, and was also able to use her violin-playing ability in the classroom. “I was able to form relationships with them, encourage them to play music, teach and learn with them,” Morrison said. Kaplowitz expressed pride in the relationships her students were able to forge in the East Lansing community. “They bring their own passions and skill sets, and develop extra-curricular programs that our local school systems can’t provide for after a decade of budget cuts,” she said. “It never ceases to amaze me as my students develop leadership and civic engagement skills that this experience provides.”

Tax rate goes up slightly, but tax bills may fall Dawn Parker dlparker@lsj.com

EAST LANSING – The city has a budget for fiscal year 2012, one which quietly acknowledges the continuing financial difficulties of the community and the state as a whole. City council members passed the budget at their May 17 meeting. The city’s fiscal year begins July 1. The total general fund budget is $34.4 million, approximately $2.1 million higher than in 2011. Some of the increase comes from $400,000 in facility repairs and the reinstatement of the city’s hazardous sidewalk repair program. Much of the rest comes

from additional capital investment – replacement of or repairs to cars, computers and roofs. City manager Ted Staton said he expects the city to receive around $1.2 million from the state in statutory revenue sharing. A first installment of $400,000 is anticipated around July 3, with an additional $500,000 sometime after Oct. 1, when the first quarter of the state’s fiscal year begins. The total amount of revenue sharing is around a one-third cut from prior allocations, Staton noted, but it’s less of a decrease than originally budgeted. Among the highlights is a more than $36 million decrease in overall property values, from $981.5 million to $945.3 million. As a consequence, the total millage rate for 2012 will be 20.5626 mills, up from 19.8 mills this year. Staton noted in a memo

that the increase is the most the city could institute under the Headlee rollback limit without going to city voters. Despite the increase, the lowering of property values means about half of homeowners will not see an increase in their bills, according to an estimate by assessor David Lee. Any increase would be nominal, Staton said, because of declining property values. Overall property values were flat from 2010 to 2011, while a decrease is expected from 2011 to the 2012 fiscal year. The budget also includes cuts in seven positions, including two each in police and fire departments. The cuts will come through attrition – retiring personnel will not be replaced – and no layoffs are involved. Six of the city’s eight employee unions will be

open for negotiation on July 1. There is no cost of living increase in the 2012 budget. Despite continuing economic gloom, Staton sees many positives for the city. While $554,905 of the fund balance will be used to balance the budget, the city will retain an 8.2 percent fund balance, meeting a minimum requirement. There will be renewed investments in equipment and capital repairs after 18 months of going without, and no cuts to services are planned. How long city services remain at current levels is uncertain. To help with that, Staton said he plans to propose the creation of a citizen panel whose purpose would be determining options where controlling spending and reducing city services are concerned.

Principal named for Bennett Woods school OKEMOS – When one door closes, another door opens, a wise person once said. Noelle Palasty has found her open door, as the former Wardcliff Elementary School principal will be returning to a principal’s position after a year away. The opening was made possible by the retirement of Bennett Woods Elementary School principal Jeri Mifﬂin, who will be stepping down at the end of the school year. “Bennett Woods is an excellent school and I feel very fortunate to be joining such an amazing group of students, staff and parents,” Palasty said. At their May 9 meeting, Okemos school board members approved Superintendent Dr. Catherine Ash’s recommendation that Palasty be Mifﬂin’s successor. “First and foremost, Mrs. Palasty cares about

children,” Ash wrote in a letter to Bennett Woods parents. “She strives to ensure that every child experiences social, emotional and academic success.” Palasty served as Wardcliff principal for two years until the school closed in June 2010. She has spent the 2010-11 school year as a program specialist in the district’s special education department, as the closing of Central School and Wardcliff meant there were no opportunities for displaced principals in Okemos. “The role of Program Specialist provided me district responsibilities that I believe afforded me valuable insight and experience that will assist me as I move back into the role of a principal. I have enjoyed my work as a program specialist,” Palasty said. Before coming to Wardcliff, Palasty taught special education for 11 years, including one year at Cornell Elementary School. She holds a master’s degree

in educational leadership and an additional master of arts degree in learning and behavioral disorders. “She has proven herself as an exceptional leader at the classroom, building and district levels,” Ash noted in her letter. Palasty will begin her new position on July 1, and she already has goals and hopes in mind. “In addition to supporting a high-quality education which includes a safe, nurturing and effective learning environment, my highest priorities are building relationships and learning more about what makes Bennett Woods such a great school,” she said in an e-mail. “While there are many challenges that lie ahead in education, I have missed being a principal and look forward to the daily interactions with students as well as supporting and witnessing the amazing work of teachers and support staff on the lives of children.”

It is his distinguished work with crowd control during past Final Four events that has led Capt. Johnstone to the next step in his law enforcement career. He has been hired by a U.S. federal government consulting firm to travel around the country and train police officers in large crowd control techniques. Capt. Johnstone was hired on May 7, 1984 and was promoted to sergeant on March 22, 1994. Johnstone He was later promoted to lieutenant on Sept. 15, 1998 and was promoted to captain on Sept. 18, 2006.

He has also worked as a department instructor in the areas of firearms and civil disorder. “We are sad to say farewell to Capt. Johnstone.

Many, he noted, have been referred by a family physician with concerns about the toll a conventional painkiller is taking on a vital organ like the liver. “We do have some patients … that their family physician wants them to use this to wean them off of the other painkillers.

The number in parenthesis indicates the number of items that came up on a search of their names in the catalog. • Emily Janice Card (15): I listened to Card’s playful narration of Kelly O’Connor McNees’ historical ﬁction title “The Lost Summer of Louisa May Alcott.” Recommended for “Little Women” fans. • Simon Prebble (147): Prebble’s narration of “Corduroy

Mansions” by Alexander McCall Smith was spot on. This new series introduces us to the residents of London’s Pimlico neighborhood. • Donada Peters (80): This Brit is my personal favorite — I could happily listen to the woman read the back of a cereal box. Instead I listened to her impeccable reading of “The Skeleton in the Closet” by M.C. Beaton. This stand-alone charmer is a rare departure from Beaton’s popular Raisin & Macbeth mysteries. • Cassandra Campbell (92): “In The Beach House” by Jane Green, Campbell subtly communicates the problems, hopes and dreams of the various inhabitants of a summer rental on Nantucket. • Dick Hill (286): Hill takes on the voice of literary legend Jack Reacher in “The Hard Way” by Lee Child. He gives a convincing delivery of the loner taking on the bad guys one more time. Lee Child fans, you already know how this will end.

patron asked me why I never review audiobooks. I understand what she is looking for — audiobooks are enormously popular at the Capital Area District Library but require a different review, because the voice of the reader is critical to the story. I’ve been hooked on them for years, beginning with cassette tapes, then graduating to CDs and now digital downloads. I always have a book on CD in my car, even for quick trips around town. It’s the best method Audiofile Magazine has published a list of “Best Voices,” which I’ve included below. These readers lend their talent to all genres and age ranges, so you are sure to find them narrating something you would love. It’s easy to find these

Every day is anopportunity to show arthritis who’s boss. Living with arthritis pain? Time to show it who’s boss. Studies show that moderate physical activity — the kind that gets your heart rate up and keeps it up like walking, biking, or swimming — can actually reduce pain and stiffness, and improve your mood. But it’s more than just keeping busy, you need to get up and get active at least 5 days a week for 30 minutes each day. You can even do it for 10 minutes, 3 times a day. In just 4 to 6 weeks you’ll notice a difference. Get physically active and show arthritis who’s in charge.

AGENDA: $5 MILIION IN CUTS

Okemos board to ﬁll empty seat Dawn Parker

| dlparker@lsj.com

OKEMOS – There is an open seat on the Okemos school board, and a familiar name is among the applicants. Longtime board member and former board president Ron Styka is one of three candidates who submitted letters of interest to ﬁll a vacancy on the board. The spot opened up with the departure of board secretary Andrew Saultz, who moved out of the district.

The other two applicants are Angela Wilson and Vincent LyonCallo. Superintendent Dr. Catherine Ash said a board subcommittee met last week to review the applicants, and a special board meeting took place May 16 to review and discuss the applicants. The full board will take action at its next regular meeting on Monday, May 23. “They are all outstanding candi-

dates, every one of them,” Ash said. Ash anticipates the budget for the 2011-12 school year to be a signiﬁcant topic of conversation during that same meeting. The district continues to look for a total of $5 million in cuts, she added, and is counting on a $470 cut in perpupil state funding until directed otherwise. The board meets at 7 p.m. in the board room of the administration ofﬁces at 4406 N. Okemos Road.

Developer catches up on property taxes Dawn Parker dlparker@lsj.com

EAST LANSING – The tax bill for the properties in the proposed City Center II project has been paid. East Lansing City Treasurer Jill Feldpausch conﬁrmed that delinquent 2010 taxes were paid in full on May 9. The total amount paid was $136,735.88, including

administrative fees and interest. The 5.5 acre mixed-use project spanning the block west of the Abbot-Grand River intersection has been in the works since 2008. While a site plan and special use permit are in effect, city council members have repeatedly stressed they will take no action until a ﬁnancing plan and a legal description of the properties involved in the

project are received from developer Scott Chappelle. “I understand he paid his property taxes that were due Feb. 14, but he still owes us a detailed ﬁnancing plan,” East Lansing Mayor Victor Loomis said. “Until such time as we receive that detailed ﬁnancing plan, we have nothing before us to decision or comment on.”

Friends of the Meridian Township Pathways and others braved a chilly morning May 14 to dedicate the Inter-Urban Pathway, the latest in a series of pathways connecting various areas of the township. The latest phase connects Okemos and Marsh roads, and it’s hoped an eventual phase will run to Lake Lansing. The youngest participant in the ceremony, 20-month-old Sonny Hendrix of Haslett, and 90-something Robert Gibbs of Okemos were tapped for the ribbon cutting. Helping Sonny is his dad, David Hendrix.

Timely Tips for Hiring Remodelers Red Flags For Identifying the Unprofessional Remodeler Doesn’t have a license or insurance. All remodelers should be able to demonstrate evidence of both. Doesn’t write contracts. Without a clear written plan, it’s difficult to know what work you are both agreeing to complete. Expectations should be agreed to in writing. Requires payment in full prior to starting the job. It’s reasonable for your contractor to ask for payment up front to purchase materials for your job. Shady contractors demand full payment and may leave with the money. Vastly underbids other contractors. If a bid is way lower than everyone else’s it may indicate inexperience or a method of cutting costs that severely affects quality. Cannot provide references. Professional remodelers will always be able to provide the names and phone numbers of past customers. How to Evaluate A Home Remodeler’s References

Kids art project part of Patriarch Park revival plan EAST LANSING — If you are a parent or grandparent and a fan of Patriarche Park, the East Lansing Rotary wants to talk to you. The members of the club are coordinating a major community project to revive the wooden play structure in the park. The play structure was built in 1995. The original project was also spearheaded by East Lansing Rotary. The play structure is now reaching the end of its useful life, and the Rotarians have taken on the revival of the play structure as its signature project to commemorate the Club’s 50th anniversary. Families with kids are being encouraged to participate in an Art Contest to Remember the Park. It is easy to participate; in fact it might just be a

perfect rainy-day project. Kids are being asked to remember with art what they like best about the park; depict a game or role play that they like to play in the park; or draw a favorite feature of the park structure (castle, bridge, big chair, tire bridge, etc). Kids are encouraged to make their art project bold and colorful (crayons, markers, paint, collage, colored pencils). The ﬁnished size should be 8 ½ x 11.

Pancakes in Park

The deadline for submission is Friday, June 3, voting for the best project will happen at the Annual Pancakes in the Park, scheduled for Sunday, June 12 at the pavilion at Patriarche Park, 1100 Alton Road. The winning entry will receive a $300 prize. More details and an entry form are available at: www.rem emberthepark.com . Many parents and grandparents have watched their children enjoy many hours of constructive play on the Patriarche Park play structure. The structure was

designed by East Lansing children and is packed full of features that provide rich opportunities for imaginative role play and interaction, along with physical challenges. The community is encouraged to attend Pancakes-in-the Park on June 12 for a preview of the Remember the Park-Revive the Park project. Tickets for the pancake breakfast are available to purchase from any East Lansing Rotarian or can be purchased at the park. Those purchasing a ticket to Pancakes-in-the-Park are eligible to vote in the Art Contest to Remember the Park. There are still sponsorship and volunteer opportunities available for the Remember the Park project which is scheduled for Sept. 15-18. Families can also participate by purchasing a picket for the fence or a family picnic sign. The website includes sign-up forms and contact information, www.remem berthepark.com

Okemos lacrosse team poised for great year Sean Merriman smerriman@lsj.com

EAST LANSING- Coming off a memorable state championship season in 2010, it is beginning to look more and more as if Okemos’ girl’s lacrosse team is poised for another deep post-season run this spring. The Chieftains cruised to a 17-7 victory over East Lansing last Monday, improving their record to 15-1, while remaining unbeaten in the state of Michigan. Sophomore Bobbie Hall led the Chieftains’ scoring attack with six goals and three assists, while senior Jordan Luberto added four goals and four assists in the victory.

“We’re hanging onto the ball and keeping possession of it- that’s the key to be successful in lacrosse,” Okemos coach Bill Prahler said. “We were able to get a big lead early on and then just kind of cruised in from there.” Okemos took an early 13-3 lead in the ﬁrst half, highlighted by outstanding play on both the offensive and defensive end. Alex King scored three goals and Nicki Tague had a game-high six assists for the Chieftains. Okemos goalies Alison Crites and Katie Johnson split time at the goalie position. Johnson recorded 10 saves, while Crites added six stops in goal. East Lansing responded with a solid showing in

the second half, matching the Chieftains four-second half goals. Lelia Syal led the Trojans with two goals, while Katrina Lothamer added a goal and a teamhigh four assists for East Lansing. Goalie Kathryn Cleary recorded 11 saves for the Trojans. Okemos was scheduled to play Waverly/Lansing Catholic/Grand Ledge this past weekend, and then will prepare to defend their title as the state playoffs kick off this week. “We’re healthy right now, which is always a good thing,” Prahler said. “We have some real tough games coming up, but we’ll be ready for that.”

“It was a great win for me and a great win for our team. Okemos is a really good team, so we knew it could have gone either way today.”

smerriman@lsj.com

GRAND LEDGE - East Lansing sophomore Renee Hoekstra described her No. 2 singles ﬁnal match as being both “overwhelming” and “beyond exciting.” After losing the ﬁrst set, Hoekstra battled back and defeated Emily Doster of Okemos 2-6, 6-4, 7-5 in a three-set thriller. That victory proved to be one of the deciding matches as East Lansing edged Okemos at the CAAC Blue league tennis meet last week at Grand Ledge. “She’s beaten me every time we’ve played before this, so I really wanted that one bad,” said Hoekstra, who fought off three separate match points in the third set. “It was a great win for me and a great win for our team. Okemos is a really

RENEE HOEKSTRA good team, so we knew it could have gone either way today.” East Lansing and Okemos were neck-andneck heading into the ﬁnal three matches, but the Trojans won all three, giving them a clean sweep in every singles ﬂight. “To sweep singles like that was a bit of a surprise, but the girls answered to any pressure they had coming into the meet,” East Lansing coach Lisa Semerly said. “We came in here feeling like we had to deliver, and we more than delivered here today.” Junior Carynne Lloyd of

It marked the second time that Lloyd has defeated Ng in as many weeks. “We’ve had a lot of close matches against each other this year, but this one probably feels the best,” Lloyd said. “I know that now that I’m on top, I can’t get cocky and have to continue to keep the same attitude.” The Trojans finished the meet with a final team score of 53. Okemos took second with 48 points and Holt placed third with 39. On the doubles side, East

NATIONWIDE COMPANY IN BRIGHTON THIS WEEK PAYING CASH FOR GOLD, SILVER AND COINS.

May 22, 2011

By David Morgan STAFF WRITER Been following the gold and silver market lately? Well if you have a jewelry box, a lock box full of gold or a coffee can full of old coins, you should be, according to Ohio Valley Refinery spokesperson John Miller. “The gold and silver markets have not been this strong for over 30 years” said Miller. Typically when the U.S. dollar is weak and the economy is flat, gold and silver markets soar. “That’s good news if you are sitting on a few gold necklaces or an old class ring” says Miller. Starting Tuesday at 9am and every day this week through Saturday, the Ohio Valley Refinery is setting up a satellite refinery right here in Brighton at the Holiday Inn Expres. During their 5 day stay, anyone can bring gold, silver or platinum items and turn them in for immediate payment, explains John Miller. “Just about everybody has some amount of gold or silver just lying around collecting dust and this week anybody can sell theirs direct to our refinery. Typically selling direct to a refinery is reserved for larger wholesale customers like jewelry stores, pawn shops and laboratories” says Miller. “We are changing how business is done,” he explains “we want to do business with everybody so we took our business to the streets”. “Our teams visit various cities around the country hosting 5 day events and allowing the general public to take advantage of our services. “The turnout has been overwhelming” says Miller. “Usually each day is busier than the previous day. It seems once people come to us and sell something, they are so amazed what an old ring or gold coin is worth, they go home and start digging around for more and telling relatives, friends and neighbors. It’s like a feeding frenzy by the third day. People line up with everything from gold jewelry to sterling silver flatware sets to old coins. I think during this LJ-0100093599

bad economy everybody can use extra money, but most people say they are taking advantage of selling direct to our refinery because of the higher prices we pay”. During this special event, anyone is welcome to bring all types of gold, silver and platinum to the refinery and turn it in for instant payment. The types of items they will accept include all gold jewelry, gold coins, gold ounces, dental gold, old coins made before 1965 including silver dollars, halves, quarters and dimes, anything marked “sterling” including flatware sets, tea pots, silver bars, silver ounces and all industrial precious metals. What should you expect if you go to the event to sell your gold and/or silver? Just gather up all gold, silver and platinum in any form. If you are not sure if it’s gold or silver, bring it in and they will test it for free. When you arrive at the event you will be asked to fill out a simple registration card and will be issued a number. Seating will be available. When your number is called you will be escorted to a table where your items will be examined, tested and sorted. This only takes a few minutes, using their expertise and
