Lansing -Michigans public schools canbegin moving forward in their planning forthe online statewide student assessment in thespring of 2015. The Michigan Department ofEducation announced today its updatedassessment system, called the Michigan
Student Test of Educational Progress (M-STEP). This is great news for our local schooldistricts, said State Superintendent MikeFlanagan. Theyve been very anxious tohear what the new assessment will be, aswe developed a new test to comply withlegislatively-mandated changes. The new assessment was required by thestate legislature for the spring 2015 testingperiod. The legislature also required theDepartment of Education to re-bid its long-term assessment system that will begin in thespring of 2016. The new assessment meets all of therequirements put into law by the legislature;that it be: an online assessment, with a paper-and-pencil option; aligned to the state standards;expanding writing assessments to additional grades;providing an increased number of constructedresponse test questions so that pupils candemonstrate higher-order skills, such as problemsolving and communicating reasoning; andpilot tested before statewide implementation.
M-STEP replaces the 44-year-old MEAPtest, which was not online and measured the
Michigan Student Test System Developed for Spring 2015previous state standards. The spring 2015assessment will include Michigan-createdcontent, as well as content developed by themulti-state Smarter Balanced AssessmentConsortium. Educators from Michigan publicschools helped develop and write test content
that will appear on M-STEP. The changes in law diverted what thedepartment and local school districts hadbeen developing and preparing for over thepast three years, Flanagan said. It putschools in some unwelcomed limbo whileour experts scrambled to nd testing contentthat met the legislative requirements. The assessment for spring 2015 is a one-year stopgap until the long-term assessmentis awarded through the re-bidding process.M-STEP includes the following assessments:A spring summative assessment for grades 3-8;A Michigan Merit Exam (MME) for grade 11,which includes a college entrance exam; a workskills component; and a summative componentaligned to Michigan content standards. This will be the rst time all statewideassessments will be administered online. Tohelp prepare, nearly 1,900 Michigan schoolshave performed pilot online testing over thepast three and a half years. The state Legislaturehas invested more than $100 million over the
past two years to help get local districtstechnology-ready for the new assessments.
To date, over 80 percent of schools meet theminimum technology requirement for thenew assessment. There still will be a paper-and-penciloption for schools if they believe they are notready with the minimal technology requirements.
Districts have until November 21 to request awaiver to administer the paper/pencil test.Due to the cost concerns of preparing the
separate online and paper/pencil formats, andwanting to be the best stewards of public funds,MDE will not entertain change requests beyondthat November 21 deadline date.
The entire Michigan Merit Exam for thespring of 2015 will take longer for localschools to administer due to requirements instate law. The high school test requires additionaltime because the college entrance and workskills tests that Michigan currently is contractedto use, do not measure the states standardsfor English language arts and mathematics.The move to more rigorous standards requiresadditional types of test questions not presenton those assessments. As a result, the state isrequired to provide additional testing toensure state and federal laws that requiremeasurement of the states standards are met. The U.S. Department of Education
(USED) has allowed a few states to get aSEE P 4, Michigan Student Test System

use only a college-entrance exam like ACT.However, USED cannot waive the Michiganlaw that requires the state assessments bealigned to the state standards. The majority of schools that are testingonline will have greater exibility and cancongure testing, as desired, within the eight-week window the department has providedthem. This provides ample opportunity forschools to plan their testing times. Therewill be eight partial days of testing for thepaper/pencil option of the high school test inthe spring. This option, which should be usedonly by those continuing to prepare their
buildings for online testing, must continue to
be spread in this fashion to assure adequatetesting security.School Accountability MDE will be working with the USED to
update Michigans school accountabilitymodel used in its flexibility waiver to thefederal No Child Left Behind Act. Theseupdates would recognize the changes instatewide assessments and improvementsin identifying student academic growthand learning. In these discussions with USED, it willbe the Michigan Department of Educationsintent to use the test data from this transitionalyear for a trial run of a revised accountability
system. It is the intent of the Department that
the results of the trial run of accountabilitywould be shared with schools and districtsfor local decision making, but that noconsequences would be applied. The Department encourages localdistricts to use the data to inform classroominstruction; student and school improvementplanning; and local programming decisions. Educator and Administrator EvaluationsSchools will be provided student-levelgrowth data for use in teacher and administratorevaluations. Because these educator evaluationsare still determined by local school districts,how local districts choose to use the data inthe evaluations is up to each district.

Detroit -Mary Barra made major national
and international news when, on Jan. 15, 2014,
General Motors named her as the giant
automakers new CEO. Her appointment
was history-making as Barra became GMs
first female CEO and the highest rankingexecutive female of any automotive company
in the world. Several months after taking ofce, Barra
again made major international news, this
time as the chief spokesperson for addressing
allegations that GM had serious vehicle
safety issues with its ignition-switches.
According to some reports, the company
knew about such issues, failed to correct
them through recalls even though some
allegations of death were associated with GM
auto crashes that many speculated werecaused by faulty ignition-switches.
I realize there are no words of mine that
can ease their grief and pain, Barra told
numerous national and international media
outlets. But as I lead GM through this crisis,
Mary Barra: Michigan Chronicles Newsmaker of the YearI want everyone to know that I am guided by
two clear principles - rst that we do the right
thing for those who were harmed and, second,
that we accept responsibility for our mistakesand commit to doing everything within our
power to prevent this problem from ever
happening again.
Perhaps no new CEO in the United States
has ever had to endure the kind of scrutiny
that Barra has faced, including record-setting
recalls and multiple grueling appearances
before Congress. Amid claims that GM would
be transparent and ethical in all inquiries
pertaining to its ignition-switches, Barra
stood the tests with honesty and a vow to
change how GM approached and dealt with
safety issues related to any of its vehicles.
Yet, Barra also proclaimed that GM will be a
erce competitor.
For Barra, being a erce competitor has
been an important part of her makeup that
has propelled her to become the top executive
at GM. In a corporate culture where mennormally stand at the helm, Barras tenacity
and rise to the top should not to be dismissed
as luck or happenstance.
Prior to taking GMs top job, Barra was the
companys Executive Vice President, Global
Product Development, Purchasing & Supply
Chain, which followed her position as Senior
Vice President, Global Product Development.
In both roles, Barra was influentially
instrumental in the design, engineering,program management and quality of GM
vehicles around the globe.
Other key company positions held by
Barra have included GMs Vice President,
Global Human Resources; Vice President,
Global Manufacturing Engineers; Plant
Manager, Detroit Hamtramck Assembly; and
Executive Director of Competitive Operations
Engineering, among others. Barras preparation for a career at GM
began in 1985, when she graduated from
General Motors Institute (Kettering University)
where she earned a bachelors degree in
electrical engineering. She subsequently
received an MBA from the Stanford Graduate
School of Business, after receiving a GM
fellowship. Thus, she has continued to move
up GMs corporate ladder at an impressive
rate, and continues to champion GMs integrity
and transparency in all its endeavors.
I want GM to excel, Barra said recently
at the Detroit Economic Club. I want GM to
be the most valued automotive company in
the world. Some will say these ambitions are
too bold, too aggressive. I dont think so. If
we arent here to win, to lead, to excel, why
are we here? I want to win, not just get by or
just hold on, but win. While the heat is still turned up on GMs
vehicle safety practices, policies and massive
recalls, Barra has been a calming force and
has shown real leadership in very difcult
situations. Many of the nations print media
outlets have praised the job she has done
since taking ofce last January.
Time magazine named her to its Time
100, Forbes magazine lists Barra as one of
the Worlds 100 Most Powerful Women,Fortune magazine placed her on top of its 50
Most Powerful Women in Business, and the
Michigan Chronicle is proud to name Mary
Barra as its 2014 Newsmaker of the Year.

MN -People with type 1 or type 2diabetes should have a dilated eye examperformed by an eye doctor (ophthalmolo-gist) every year. The American DiabetesAssociation (ADA) recommends that anyonewhos older than 10 with type 1 diabetes havehis or her rst eye exam within ve years ofbeing diagnosed with diabetes. For people
with type 2 diabetes, the ADA advises gettingthe initial eye exam soon after youve beendiagnosed with diabetes, because you mayhave had diabetes for some time withoutknowing it. After the initial exam, the ADA recom-mends that people with either type 1 or type2 diabetes get an annual eye exam. Somepeople whove had repeated normal examsmay be able to extend the time betweenexams to two to three years. Ask your eyedoctor what he or she recommends. Women with diabetes who become
pregnant need to have an eye exam duringthe rst trimester of pregnancy and possiblyagain later in the pregnancy, depending onthe results of the rst exam. The reason forthis is that pregnancy can sometimes worsendiabetic retinopathy.
Diabetic Retinopathy Because appointments can be brief, andtheres often a lot of ground to cover, its agood idea to arrive prepared. Heres someinformation to help you get ready for youreye appointment and what to expect fromyour eye doctor.What you can do Write down a brief summary of yourdiabetes history, including when you werediagnosed, what medications you currently
take for diabetes, what medications youveused in the past, your average blood sugarlevels in recent weeks, and your last fewhemoglobin A1C readings, if you know them. Make a list of any other medications thatyou take, along with the dosage information.Also write down the names and doses of anyvitamins or supplements that youre taking. Write down any symptoms youreexperiencing, if any. Include any that mayseem unrelated to potential eye problems,because other conditions can affect youreye health.
Ask a family member or friend to comewith you, if possible. Sometimes it can bedifcult to remember all of the informationprovided to you, and someone who accompaniesyou might remember something that youmissed or forgot. In addition, because your
eyes will stay dilated for some time after theexam, a companion would be available todrive you home. Write down questions to ask yourdoctor. Preparing a list of questions can helpyou cover all of the points that are importantto you. For diabetic retinopathy, some basicquestions to ask your doctor include: Why is diabetes affecting my vision? Do I need any other tests?
Is this condition temporary or long lasting? What treatments are available, andwhich do you recommend?
What types of side effects can I expectfrom treatment?
I have other health conditions. How canI best manage them together?
If I control my blood sugar, will my eyesymptoms go away?
What do my blood sugar goals need tobe to protect my eyes?
Are there any brochures or other printedmaterial that I can take with me? What
websites do you recommend? In addition to the questions that youveprepared to ask your doctor, dont hesitate toask additional questions.

Washington The U.S. Small Business
Administration 7(a) Loan Program reached
another lending rec ord in FY 2014,
announced recently by SBA AdministratorMaria Contreras-Sweet. By the end of the
scal year (Sept. 30), SBA had approved
52,044 7(a) loans for $19.19 billion, an
increase of 12 percent in number loans and
7.4 percent in dollar amount over fiscal
year 2013.
The 7(a) program is d esigned to
provide small businesses with the mostcomprehensive type of nancial assistance to
cover the vast majority of business expenses,
such as short and long-term working capital,
exports, and renancing existing debt under
certain conditions.
As our economy continues to grow
and recover, small businesses are the
essential fuel to that continued growth,
said Contreras-Sweet. Thanks to the hard
work and outreach by our lending partners,
SBA staff, and our resource partners, as well
as the small business owners themselves, we
have been able to put more capital into the
hands of our nations entrepreneurs. We
know that Americas small businesses pack
the biggest punch, creating two out of every
SBA Hits Another Lending Record in FY 2014
three net new private sector jobs in the
U.S. These small businesses are the
cornerstone of our communities, so their
success and expansion is vital to the nations
economic growth.
SBA had been authorized $17.5 billion in
the FY 2014 lending program. It became
clear that lending would exceed that amount;
therefore the agency secured an increase forthe 7(a) program in the Continuing Resolution
that was approved in mid-September.
Other SBA loans that did well in scal
2014 were those $150,000 a nd under.
Spurred by the fee relief implemented at the
beginning of the scal year (fees were set to
zero), these loans saw an increase of 23
percent in number of loans (30,675) and 29
percent in approved dollars ($1.86 billion)
over fiscal year 2013 (24,923 and $1.44
billion respectively).
Fee relief was also instrumental in
helping veteran small bu siness owners
through the Veteran Advantage initiative
(zero fees on loans $150,000 to $350,000
to veterans.) Fee relief for veterans began
January 1, 2014, and by the end of the scal
year amounted to $610,000. Fee relief for
both loans $150,000 and under, and for
Veterans Advantage, was extended through
scal year 2015.
Small businesses reflect the dynamic
demographics of the United States. In FY2014, the number of SBA loans to African
Americans grew by roughly 36 percent over
the previous year. For Hispanics and women,
there was an increase of 14 percent for
each group.
In our efforts to reach out and help
small businesses across the nation, lenders
play an important role as partners, as it is
through them that SBA nancial assistance
is channeled and managed. In FY 2014, SBAadded 308 new lenders that, collectively,
made 684 loans for nearly $317 million.
As exports continue to play a pivotal role
in strengthening the nations economy, SBA
loans to exporters grew by 3.7 percent in
number of loans and 12 percent in dollar
amount over last year.
One of the ways in which SBA helps
small businesses is through providing
essential bid and performance bonds to
small contractors, which allows these small
businesses to be more competitive when
bidding on contracts, be they with the
government or the private sector.
In scal year 2014, SBA Ofce of Surety
Bond Program saw an increase of four
percent in total contract value, from $6.168
billion in FY 2013 to $6.413 billion in FY
2014. Total bond contract amount also grew
from $1.262 billion in FY 2013 to $1.358 in
FY 2014, an increase of eight percent.

urge deer hunters to engage in an ethical hunt
and be aware tha t Michigans new hunting
licenses carry certain conditions. The new
licenses approved by the Legislature and
signed into law by Gov. Rick Snyder in 2013
took effect March 1, 2014.
Deer hunters should be aware of the two
options they have for licenses:
Single deer license, valid throughout
New Hunting License Conditions in Effectarchery, rearm and muzzleloader seasons.
This license has replaced the separate archery
and firearm licenses. Hunters who buy a
single deer license may not buy a second
single deer license or the deer combo license.
Deer combo license, which includes two
kill tags, one regular and one restricted.
Hunters who want two deer licenses must
buy the deer combo license instead of the

implement antler point restrictions, which
apply based on whether the hunter has
purchased two deer licenses. The deer
combo license is valid for use during the

Better Choices, Better Medicine, Better Healing
Health
University Center, MI - Whilemost college students typicallyfinish their education beforediving into the profession theirdegree will support, circumstanceand opportunity combined to
thrust Rachel Gregus into thechallenge of performing bothfeats at the same time.
The Saginaw Valley StateUniversity student is about oneyear shy of earning a bachelorsdegree in health science. Shesalso more than one year intoserving as co-founder andmanager of a home health careagency employing 15 people and
serving 60 others in the GreatLakes Bay Region. Its denitely a lot of work,she said of her work both
academically and with her company,Safe Hands Warm Hearts Inc.Its something that started out as a little idea and unfolded intosomething big. And, judging by the size of the clientele already established, itssomething that Gregus has managed to steer with early success. Theroad preceding this stretch of success, though, had a few more twistsand turns.
A 2007 Swan Valley High School graduate, Gregus said shestruggled to find her calling early on in college. She dabbled inacademic majors ranging from psychology to forensic science. I kind of threw my hands up in the air and said, What amI doing, she said. I was so restless. I have to have some kindof direction. A nursing assistant at HealthSource of Saginaw from 2010to 2013, Gregus eventually decided to expand on her health careinterests by pursuing SVSUs health science degree. Her focuswas strengthened further when a close friend with engineeringdegrees focused in health care approached her about developingan agency that would tend to those in need of home health care.
He asked what I knew about it, and I decided to entertain myselfwith some of the questions he was asking, Gregus said of thecompanys owner, Udit Parikh.
What started as curious detective work online quickly transformedinto the development of a functioning business. Before I knew it, I
SVSU Student Manages Growing Home Health Care Agencywas creating policies and procedures, she said. By September 2013,Safe Hands Warm Hearts Inc. was in business.
More than a year later, the agency services about 60 people -largely an elderly population in Saginaw, Bay and Midland counties.The company also provides care for residents of Wescourt IndependentSenior Living apartments in Saginaw. Gregus said the company is
currently expanding coverage into Lansing. Once we do that, wewould like to serve surrounding states, and possibly franchise,Gregus said.
Along with her work life, Gregus has plans beyond the foreseeablefuture for her academic life. She eventually wants to pursue a mastersdegree in health care-related studies - possibly international healthcare or health care ethics. Balancing being a young manager and a student at the sametime is tough, she said. Theres a reason why people do this afterthey graduate, but I love what I do. Its been very rewarding.

Saginaw -You could be the key
to saving the life of Derrick Nash.
Nash, a standout high school
football player, was diagnosed
with acute lymphoblastic leukemia
during his senior year at Carrollton
High School in May 2013. Doctors
expected a lengthy hospital stay,
but Nash quickly responded to
treatment and was in remission
within a month.
Thanks to his remarkable
turnaround, his dream of playingcollege football was realized this
spring when he suited up at Central Michigan Universitys spring game.
All was right in Nashs world, and he was preparing to play for
CMU this fall when he started to feel ill. In October when his sickness
persisted, doctors discovered the leukemia had returned.
Now facing his second bout with leukemia, Nash and his doctors
are set to call a new play. In addition to more chemotherapy, Nash is
hoping to receive a lifesaving bone marrow transplant. But despite
his willingness, nding a matching donor can be a difcult task.
Seventy percent of people who need a transplant will not have amatch in their family and will turn to Be The Match to nd a life-
saving donor, said Caitlin Regan, stem cell recruitment specialist for
Michigan Blood. Patients are most likely to nd a match in someone
of their same ethnic background and currently, the registry iscomprised of almost 70 percent Caucasian donors. Its extremely
important for us to continue to increase the size and diversity of the
registry to improve all patients chance for a cure.
Michigan Bloods Marrow/Stem Cell Program, an afliate of the
National Marrow Donor Programs Be The Match Registry, recruits
potential donors for patients across the U.S. and around the world
who need bone marrow or stem cell transplants. With every new
potential donor, the chance of a match for thousands of patients with
leukemia, lymphoma, and other blood diseases improves.
To increase Nashs chances of finding a match, Michigan
Bloods Be The Match program is holding registry events in his
honor in Saginaw and at CMU. Individuals between the ages of
18 and 44 can join the Be The Match Registry simply by fillingout a health questionnaire and providing a cheek swab.
Help someone get their transplant and make them feel wholeagain, says Nash, who has been a Michigan Blood advocate since
his original diagnosis.
The second registry event will run from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m.
Wednesday, Nov. 19 at Ames United Methodist Church, 801 State in
Saginaw. Everyone who registers at the Saginaw drive will receive
CMU Student Athlete Needs Bone Marrow Transplantan Im Fighting With Derrick button courtesy of the Carrollton
Athletic Association and a special treat from Macys Lakeshore Grill.
The third event is set for Thursday, Nov. 20 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
at various locations on CMUs campus. Tables will be located in the
lobbies of East Campus residence halls (Fabiano, Woldt, Emmons,
Saxe, Herrig and Celani), in the Health Professions building and in
the Bovee University Center.
Although these registry drives are being held in Derricks honor,
its important to remember that when members of the community
volunteer to join the registry, theyre making themselves available to
any patient searching for a donor, says Regan.
While donors of all types help save lives, there is a serious
shortage of potential donors who represent ethnic minorities. ForNashs drives, organizers are seeking African-Americans in particular
to support the effort.
A diverse group of prospective donors will give more transplant
candidates a better chance to nd matches, says Regan. A marrow
transplant is often a patients last and best chance for survival. Plain
and simple, it saves lives.

Registry, visit www.miblood.org/be-the-match-registry.

Saginaw My name is RuShawnda McCalland I am the mother of Shane AnthonyPeoples-Welch. I would like to share my storywith the parents of the community. Threeyears and seventeen days ago I lost myfirst born son to a heart condition calledHypertrophic Cardiomyopathy.
Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy is a heartmuscle disease which is a thickening of themuscle around the heart, causing the heart tonot pump as well as it should, which canlead to heart failure, and sudden death.Shane was attending Grand Valley StateUniversity at the time of his death, andwhile playing basketball in the gym at GVSU,he lost consciousness.
Before Shane attended college he was astudent at Saginaw High school, and was anhonor student graduating in the top ten of hisclass in 2008 earning scholarships that paidfor his college tuition.
Shane was a loving, kind-hearted, smart,intelligent young man who loved God. He isknown to our family as a young legend thatwill forever live in our hearts. I have chosen to be an advocate forMatters of the Heart, to bring awareness of

Jamaica -Dr. Myles Munroe, Presidentand Founder, of Bahamas Faith MinistriesInternational (BFMI), who was killed in aplane crash along with his wife Ruth and 7others on Sunday, November 9, 2014, is agreat loss to the world.
Dr. Munroe was an awesome, thoughtprovoking pastor and teacher that when you
heard his teachings they profoundly affectedyour life. A best-selling author and lecturer,he traveled the world advising leaders inbusiness, education, religion, and other elds.
Born in 1954 in the islands capital ofNassau, Munroe founded Bahamas FaithMinistries International in the early 1980safter studying at Oral Roberts University, aChristian liberal arts school in Tulsa, Okla.
Among the many accolades of how hisdeath has affected the world are those of
A Legend is Lost in Plane CrashORU President Billy Wilson, Pastor SamuelRodriguez, and Prime Minister Perry Christie.
His work in extending Christs Kingdomin our generation was exemplary and worldchanging. He was a servant to the universityas both a member of the Board of Regentsand, most recently, on the Board of Reference,Wilson says. Over the years, Myles was amuch beloved chapel speaker and contributor
to our university community. Rev. Munroealso served as co-chair of the Empowered21Caribbean cabinet and a member of theEmpowered21 Global Council. His energyand enthusiasm for imparting Spiritempowered Christianity to new generationswas contagious.
It is utterly impossible to measure themagnitude of Dr. Munroes loss to the Bahamasand to the world, Prime Minister Perry Christie
said. He was indisputably one of the mostglobally recognizable religious gures ournation has ever produced.
The Munroes have two children, Charisaand Chairo.

You cant see what you cant see. There may be some challenges facing your nonprot that youre not aware of. They are insidious and
sometimes deadly. Taking a close look at whats really going on may refocus your energy and resources, and rescue your fundraising.
By Mel B. and Pearl D. Shaw
FUNdraising Good Times
Hidden Fundraising Challenges
Heres some background. Nonprotorganizations and institutions play a key rolein communities across the country. Healthcare,education, advocacy, homeless services,domestic violence prevention, athletics, theopera, symphony and theatres are just afew of the ways in which they add to ourcollective life.
Mel B. and Pearl D. ShawSaad & Shaw Comprehensive FundDevelopment Services
The rewards from such work are many.And, unfortunately, challenges abound. Topones include board involvement, stafng,money, resources, exposure and awareness,and volunteer involvement. These are real.And at the same time, for some organizationsthe challenges are actually a little deeper.They lie in what you cant see. And they
inform or exacerbate the visible ones. Lack of urgency and excitement. Itshard to raise money and engage volunteerswithout a sense of urgency and excitement.Have you made the case to a potential donorregarding why it is important to supportthe priorities of your nonprofit today, andnot tomorrow? Have you created a mechanism forgenerating enthusiasm in giving? Are youactively competing for the philanthropic
dollar or waiting for it to come your way?You need an infec tious excitement thatis communicated verbally, in writing andelectronically. Put fundraising at the topof your list each day. Duplication of services. You may be100% committed to your organization, itsservices or advocacy, and the people itserves. But, are you the only game in town,or are there a multitude of organizationsdoing similar work? When there are toomany organizations providing comparable
services it can be difcult for donors andfunders to understand why they should fundyour organization over a similar one.
You may not get funded. Or you - andyour like-minded nonprots - may be splittinga pool of funds with the result being that noone raises enough money to effectivelyadvance their mission. If duplication of
services is an issue for your nonprofit,you may want to consider the unthinkable:merging, or rening/changing your mission. Repeatedly soliciting the same donorsand funders. This is an under the radarchallenge that sometimes isnt even identiedas such. The positive spin is: we have a fewcommitted donors who consistently supportus. That may be true, but how long will it last? Are they providing enough funding, oris your organization cutting staff and services
in order to operate? What if donors suddenlychanged their giving? Donor retention isnt agiven: things change. Dont put yournonprot at risk: broaden your fundraising.Next week we will cover more.

you would like to do with your assets once

share some of your assets with an organization
that can continue to serve others with your

Giving to an organization, like ours, is
investing in the future of low-income families

in need of either a new or rehabbed house.
