CHARLOTTE — Kevin Munroe, 19, admits the pace of a traditional classroom isn’t for him. The local resident hit a wall his freshman year at Charlotte High School. “I was lazy,” he recalled. The last three years were spent at the school district’s alternative education program, the Learning Center — where he said he began loving school again. “It really turned my life around,” he explained. And this fall Munroe, along with over 60 students, moved from that program to it’s replace- ment. Relevant Academy is a new public school program under the jurisdiction of the Eaton Inter- mediate School District — those enrolled live all over the county. Located in what was Gale- wood Elementary, the school dis- trict closed the building this summer, Relevant Academy is based on a new approach to reaching 16 to 19 year-olds who have dropped out of high school. Relying on a largely on-line curriculum and a non-traditional classroom setting, the academy demands its 150 students take responsibility for advancing their high school education. In their hands Angie Zeller, the associate superintendent of EISD and now the director of Relevant Acad- emy, said students enrolled spend the first three weeks of school attending all-day, weekly class time. But after that, students are only required to spend six hours a week at school. They are instead loaned lap tops and expected to progress in their chosen courses on their own time. What it amounts to, said Zeller, is an expected 30 hours a week of learning time and a ton of personal responsibility. “The idea is that it’s their time,” explained Zeller. “As effi- ciently as they can get through their course work, they can take their next course.” Munroe expects to be at the academy through this school year. He should have his diploma by then and is already taking classes at Lansing Community College as well. The structure of Relevant Academy is something he’s still adjusting to. Instead of standard classrooms, students move between four rooms, each with a different format. One even focuses on changing attitudes and lifting one’s self- esteem. Students work independently but have access to four teachers, each specializing in a core sub- ject area, Zeller explains. So far, Munroe’s impression is positive. “You do get more time with a subject, if you need it,” he said. “I think it works as long as you apply yourself. They give you lap tops, they give you wireless and it’s on you.” Exactly, said Zeller, who said the Relevant students are there because they want to be. It’s a recipe for success. The academy adheres to the same Michigan Merit Curricu- lum as a traditional high school, but Zeller said students believe Relevant’s approach will produce better results. “The traditional learning environment doesn’t work for these kids,” said Zeller. “I do feel like this will be successful.” What academy staff hope to change is Eaton County’s high school dropout rate, now at 23 percent. “Almost a quarter of the stu- dents is a large number no matter what you compare it to,” added Zeller.

CHARLOTTE — KevinMunroe, 19, admits the pace ofa traditional classroom isn’t forhim.

The local resident hit a wallhis freshman year at CharlotteHigh School. “I was lazy,” herecalled.

The last three years werespent at the school district’salternative education program,the Learning Center — wherehe said he began loving schoolagain. “It really turned my lifearound,” he explained.

And this fall Munroe, alongwith over 60 students, movedfrom that program to it’s replace-ment.

Relevant Academy is a newpublic school program under thejurisdiction of the Eaton Inter-mediate School District — thoseenrolled live all over the county.

Located in what was Gale-wood Elementary, the school dis-trict closed the building thissummer, Relevant Academy isbased on a new approach toreaching 16 to 19 year-olds whohave dropped out of high school.

Relying on a largely on-linecurriculum and a non-traditionalclassroom setting, the academydemands its 150 students takeresponsibility for advancingtheir high school education.

In their handsAngie Zeller, the associate

superintendent of EISD and nowthe director of Relevant Acad-emy, said students enrolledspend the first three weeks ofschool attending all-day, weeklyclass time.

But after that, students areonly required to spend six hoursa week at school. They areinstead loaned lap tops andexpected to progress in theirchosen courses on their owntime.

What it amounts to, saidZeller, is an expected 30 hours aweek of learning time and a tonof personal responsibility.

“The idea is that it’s theirtime,” explained Zeller. “As effi-ciently as they can get throughtheir course work, they can taketheir next course.”

Munroe expects to be at theacademy through this schoolyear. He should have his diplomaby then and is already takingclasses at Lansing CommunityCollege as well.

The structure of RelevantAcademy is something he’s stilladjusting to. Instead of standardclassrooms, students movebetween four rooms, each with adifferent format.

One even focuses on changingattitudes and lifting one’s self-esteem.

Students work independentlybut have access to four teachers,each specializing in a core sub-ject area, Zeller explains.

So far, Munroe’s impression is

positive.“You do get more time with a

subject, if you need it,” he said.“I think it works as long as youapply yourself. They give youlap tops, they give you wirelessand it’s on you.”

Exactly, said Zeller, who saidthe Relevant students are therebecause they want to be. It’s arecipe for success.

The academy adheres to thesame Michigan Merit Curricu-

lum as a traditional high school,but Zeller said students believeRelevant’s approach will producebetter results.

“The traditional learningenvironment doesn’t work forthese kids,” said Zeller. “I do feellike this will be successful.”

What academy staff hope tochange is Eaton County’s highschool dropout rate, now at 23percent.

“Almost a quarter of the stu-

dents is a large number nomatter what you compare it to,”added Zeller.

Relevant teacher Eric Emerytaught at Charlotte schools’Learning Center for 13 yearsbefore joining the new program.

He points to two key factorsin Relevant’s likely success.First, he said, a traditional class-room is the wrong environment

I showed her, and she wanted to know if it hurt. I

said, ‘No,’” explained Eldon Watson. Not surprising

Isaw a great definitionof bullying in thismonth’s Educational

Leadership, which focusedon promoting respectfulschools.

Bullying is simply theuse of unequal, coercivepower. The bully reallylikes to show his or heraudience that he can dom-

inate someone else. Thebully often targets a childwho, for social reasons,

will not be defended. In theschools, we most often seebullies hit, threaten, andverbally abuse other kids.

In this issue, I cameacross a list of strategiesthat students used whendealing with a bully. Thepercentage in parenthesesis the percentage of timethe strategy was used.

Our students need support against bullying

William

DeFrance

PAW

PRINTS

Often victims tried morethan one strategy:

• Pretended it did notbother me (73 percent)

• Told a friend (67 per-cent)

• Told the person orpeople to stop (66 percent)

• Walked away (66 per-cent)

• Reminded myself thatwhat the bully is doing isnot my fault and that theyare the ones who are doingsomething wrong (58 per-cent)

• Told an adult at home(49 percent)

• Did nothing (47 per-cent)

• Made a joke about it(42 percent)

• Told the person or

people how I felt aboutwhat they were doing (38percent)

• Told an adult at school(32 percent)

• Made plan to get backat them or fight them (27percent)

• Hit or fought them (20percent)

There are mixed resultsas to what works andwhat does not work. Thestrategy that appeared towork best was support,encouragement and vig-ilance from family andfriends.

When caring adults lis-tened, supervisedactivities, gave advice andsupport and checked inwith kids to make sure

that they were safe, thesituations improved. Theseadults can be parents,grandparents, teachersand school counselors.

At Eaton Rapids PublicSchools and other schooldistricts, we have workedhard to strengthen waysthat students can connectwith one another and thestaff. In both the short andlong term, it is extremelyimportant that we helpboth those who mistreatand who are mistreated.Everyone, including bul-lies, thrives in environ-ments that are respectfuland safe.

Bill DeFrance is the

superintendent at Eaton

Rapids Public Schools.

Second, Emery pointsout that by 2025 mostmajor universities willlikely rely heavily on Web-based courses.

“Even though we’rebeing innovative, we’rereally giving them achance to do what will beexpected of them in thefuture,” he said.

Relevant Academy uti-lizing programs like Skypeand E-mail to allow stu-dents constant, but virtual,access to teachers, he said.

And Emery believes thestudents are up to the chal-lenge. “A lot of the stu-dents feel so much morecomfortable communicat-ing that way.”

Munroe said he’s asready as ever to earn adiploma and take the nextstep in education.

His aim is to go intoarchitecture and transferfrom Lansing CommunityCollege to a four-yearuniversity after he earnsa diploma from RelevantAcademy.

“My motivation is to getout of high school, get tocollege and do what I wantto do,” he said.

That kind of dedicationis not a surprise Emery. Hesaid the students at Rel-evant academy are brightand motivated.

“When you send kidsfrom a high school to analternative ed., and askthem to do the same thingyou’re setting them upfor failure,” said Emery.“These kids are smart,and they want structure.They’ve always wantedthat. Here we can givethem what they need.”

CHARLOTTE — In aneffort to raise awarenessabout the importance ofestablishing a safe sleepenvironment for infants,Governor Rick Snyder hasdeclared September asInfant Safe Sleep Month inMichigan.

Sudden UnexpectedInfant Death, or SUID, isMichigan’s leading causeof preventable infantdeath. Michigan currentlyranks 37th among statesfor overall infant mortalityand the state’s infant mor-tality rate, 7.5 deaths per1,000 live births, remainsone of the highest in thenation.

In 2009, 63 Michiganbabies, or more than onechild every week, died ofaccidental suffocation orstrangulation in bed.

“The same loving pre-cautions caregivers prac-tice while a baby is awakeshould be continuedaround the clock,” saidOlga Dazzo, Director of theMichigan Department ofCommunity Health(MDCH). “There are manypreventative steps aparent can take to ensurethat their child sleeps safeand sound.”

In accordance with theAmerican Academy of

Pediatrics, MDCH recom-mends these measures toensure infant safe sleep-ing:

• Infants should beplaced to sleep on theirbacks.

• Use a firm sleep sur-face and firm mattress cov-ered only with a fittedsheet.

• Remove soft objectsand loose bedding fromthe crib (no pillows, quilts,comforters, stuffed toys,bumper pads, or other softobjects).

• Do not share a bedwith your baby.

• Avoid allowing yourbaby to become over-heated.

• Encourage “TummyTime”; it’s important topractice supervisedtummy time while yourbaby is awake to buildstrong neck and shouldermuscles.

• Make sure everyonecaring for your babyknows these guidelines.

Michigan is fortunate tohave many public and pri-vate partners at both thestate and local levels work-ing together to protectchildren. The Safe SleepAdvisory Team, whichincludes representativesfrom MDCH, Department

Increased education helps keep infants safeof Education, Departmentof Human Services, Michi-gan Public Health Instituteand Tomorrow’s Child, hasbeen working to reduceinfant deaths related tounsafe sleep environ-ments.

“We are so lucky in thestate of Michigan to havepartners working togetherto help ensure our babiesare safe,” said ShannonStotenbur-Wing, directorof the Center for Child and

Family Health of MichiganPublic Health Institute,and one of the Safe SleepAdvisory Team representa-tives. “It is imperative tothe safety of our babies toget this message out.”

Suzanne Stiles Burke,the Michigan Departmentof Human Services Bureauof Child Welfare director,views Infant Safe SleepMonth as an opportunityto remind and educatethe community about safe

sleep practices for infants.There are many

resources available to thegeneral public, parents,families, professionals, andcaregivers of infants.Among those are:www.michigan.gov/safesleep.

The Web site isdesigned for parents, pro-fessionals and other care-givers. Tomorrow’sChild/Michigan SIDS: call(800) 331-7437 or [email protected] to order

brochures, posters, orDVD’s about safe sleep foryour clinic or office.

Online training isavailable free:www.learning.mihealth.org.

The goal of this courseis to provide individualscaring for pregnantwomen, infants, and care-givers with strategies topromote a consistent safesleep environment.

LANSING — With school back in ses-sion and fall fast approaching, the Ameri-can Red Cross is encouraging all eligibledonors to roll up their sleeves to help savelives.

Every year, students nationwide jointhe American Red Cross as blood donorsand blood drive sponsors, all in an effortto help hospital patients in need. But, alldonors, whether they are students or not,are encouraged to make an appointment tohelp save lives.

“Students are a major force in buildingand maintaining the blood supply,” saidSharon Jaksa, CEO for the Great LakesRegion of the American Red Cross. “But,we need the help of all eligible donors to beable meet the needs of hospital patients.”

High schools and colleges sponsor about19 percent of Red Cross blood drives inthe coverage area of Indiana, Michiganand Ohio. Donors through these drives canrange in age from 16 to 25, and give about30 percent of blood collected in the partsof Indiana, Michigan and Ohio served bythe Red Cross.

In the United States, about 38 percent ofthe population is eligible to donate blood.However, less than five percent of the pop-ulation actually makes an appointment todonate.

EATON RAPIDS - EatonRapids improved to 8-6overall and 2-1 in CAACGold boys’ soccer play witha somewhat deceiving 4-1home win over Charlotte onSenior Night, Sept. 19.

Deceiving because thegame was much closer thanthe score would indicate,with two late Greyhoundgoals making a hard-fought,one-goal game look like arout.

Eaton Rapids head coachMatt Boersma said that histeam struggled with anemotional Senior Night pro-gram, in which injuredmidfielder Shane Zimmerdribbled the ball on hishome turf for the last timein a pre-arranged ceremo-nial kickoff.

“We did okay,” Boersmasaid. “We had some goodmoments, but we struggled

with the emotions we had.”ER had the first clear

scoring chance of the gameon a corner kick, when afar-post header by ConnerMcCreery beat Charlottekeeper Jake Dornbos butwas cleared off the line bydefender Justin McConnellless than six minutes intothe contest to keep it score-less.

The Oriole defense wascaught off-guard on the firstgoal of the game, when afree kick at midfield by ER’sSam Masteller sent EricFreemire in clean on theCharlotte goal. His right-footed shot banked off thepost and in to make thescore 1-0 with 21:18 left inthe first half.

Charlotte tied the gamejust under seven minutesinto the second half, whenJake Brown threaded a per-fect through ball to DylanBratchi, who calmly tuckedthe ball inside the left-hand

goal post ti make the score1-1.

Brown very nearly gavethe Orioles the lead two

minutes later, when a right-footed rocked from about 35yards out beat Greyhoundkeeper Jake Masteller, but

crashed against the cross-bar.

Charlotte continued toput pressure on the EatonRapids defense, keeping theGreyhounds on the backfoot until they managed toscore on a counterattackwith 24:38 left in the game.

Freemire won posses-sion in front of his ownbench, and found BryceRichards at the top of theCharlotte box. Richardsfought off two defendersand placed the ball pasta helpless Dornbos fromabout 15 yards out to makethe score 2-1.

The Orioles came closeto tying the game about fiveminutes later, when MikelDuque made some space onthe left wing and sent theball hard across the faceof the Greyhound goal, andit was cleared by the ERdefense dangerously back

across the goal mouth, butthe crucial final touch didnot come.

Eaton Rapids freshmanChase Coss gave his teamsome breathing room with afine individual effort, weav-ing through the Charlottedefense on the left wing,and then blasting a rocketjust under the crossbar andinside the far post to makethe score 3-1 with 15:13 leftin the contest.

Richards made the finalscore 4-1 with a 25-yardblast that scooted underDornbos, with an assist byFreemire, with 1:19 left onthe clock.

“I don’t know what hap-pened on that last one,probably skipped on him,”Charlotte head coach RyanSisco said, “but it was aclose game. (We played)well, but not what we’recapable of yet. I think wegot into playing a little too

direct at times.”Boersma said that the

final score was somewhatflattering to his team.

“I give Charlotte a lotof credit,” Boersma said.“I think they held the balllonger and had moredangerous opportunities,we were just fortunate tofinish the ones we got. Therewas a long time when I wasreally nervous. We camein feeling that we werethe stronger team, but theynever stop working. Wemight have had a little bitmore skill, but they madeup for it with the work theyput in.”

The Greyhounds willfinish up their league seasonwith two CAAC Gold gamesthis week, at Waverly onMonday, Sept. 26 and athome against JacksonLumen Christi on Wednes-day, Sept. 28. They willthen finish off the regularseason with a future leaguefoe, Parma Jackson CountyWestern, on Saturday, Oct.1. Western will join theCAAC at the beginning ofthe 2012-13 school year.

Eaton Great Start offering CPR, first aid training

EATON RAPIDS - EatonRapids fell to 1-3 overalland 0-2 in the CAAC Goldfootball standings with a45-0 loss to league leadersMason on Sept. 16.

Alex Fast completed fiveof his six passes for 88yards in the game, and alsohad 20 yards on four car-ries on the ground for theGreyhounds.

Kanon McVicker led ERwith 34 rushing yards in thegame.

Greyhound head coachBob Ribby said that, whilethe score of the game wassimilar to the one in theirprevious contest, a 54-0 lossat Waverly, the play on thefield was not.

“They definitely playedbetter,” Ribby said. “Theeffort was much better, wehad some kids who playedwell and put some smackson some kids.”

After letting what lookedlike a winnable gameagainst Waverly go horri-bly wrong, Ribby said thathis team bounced back andactually played well againsta much better opponent inthe Bulldogs.

“Mason is obviouslybigger and faster than us,but the effort was muchbetter,” he said. “The out-come was the same, butas we move forward fromhere, we know that our com-petition will be much closer

to where we are.”The last five opponents

on the Greyhounds sched-ule were a combined 4-16after the fourth week of theseason.

Eaton Rapids will finishthe CAAC Gold schedulethis week with a home gameagainst Charlotte on Friday,Sept. 30. The Greyhoundswill hit the road to playEdsel Ford Dearborn onOct. 7, come home to faceIonia on Oct. 14 and finishthe at Owosso on Oct. 21.

OLIVET — Dustin Byrd,assistant professor ofhumanities at Olivet Col-lege, will present a lectureand discussion on eventsleading to the recent mas-sacre in Norway Monday,Sept. 26 at 3 p.m. in thecollege’s Burrage LibraryLecture Room. The event isfree and open to the public.

On July 22, 2011, right-wing extremist Anders Beh-ring Breivik attacked thegovernment sector of Oslo,

Norway with homemadebombs, resulting in eightdeaths.

Within hours of theexplosions he arrived, dis-guised as a police officer,at a summer youth camporganized by the Norwe-gian Labour Party on Utoyaisland. He opened fire on theadolescent campers, report-edly killing 69 people, withthe youngest victim beingjust 14-years-old.

In his presentation, Byrd

will address questions suchas: What drove Breivik tokill so many? What moti-vated his hatred for theNorwegian government,especially the LabourParty? What political andcultural beliefs inspiredhim to attack those hebelieved were responsiblefor “cultural Marxism” and“Islamification” of Scandi-navia?

Breivik penned a man-ifesto, titled “2083: A

European Declaration ofIndependence,” in which helaid out his claims againstmulticulturalism, politicalcorrectness, the politicalleft and Muslims. Byrd willdiscuss the writings, as wellas current trends withinEuropean and Western soci-ety that may have influ-enced Breivik before themassacre.

For more information,call (269) 749-7141.
