OKEMOS – Members of the OkemosSchool Board are zeroing in on ways toresolve more than a $5 million deficit forthe 2011-12 school year.
The estimated shortfall of $5.084 mil-lion could be met with a combination ofcuts from a laundry list presented to theboard at its May 23 meeting.
Robert Clark, finance director for theschool district , says concessions on healthcare, restructuring community educationand getting other union bargaining unitsto agree to concessions are considerednecessary to balancing the budget. Takentogether, the savings amount to more than$2 million.
Clark says cutting counselors, a techcoordinator and a librarian are still being
considered and are likely to be necessary,saving the district an additional $595,000
The district originally faced a $5.3million deficit, but Clark informed theboard, a 4 percent increase from healthinsurance provider MESSA – rather thanthe expected 10 percent – represents a$300,000 savings.
$150,000 donationSome happy budget-related news came
from Okemos Educational Foundationpresident Dean Bolton, who told boardmembers the OEF has committed to givingthe district $150,000 to support program-ming and textbooks.
“Every donation will make a differ-ence,” Bolton said.

Electronics collections –VCRs, DVD players, per-sonal audio players, videocameras and the like - havegone up significantly sinceProject Pride began, Smithsaid.
Participation in ProjectPride, estimated at morethan 500 cars annually, isexpected to rise this yeardue to the free electronicspickup.
Styrofoam collectionshave remained steady,Smith said, as have card-
board and boxboard. Whileglass is not on the list,Smith also noted marketsfor recyclable materialshave rebounded from thelow points of recent years.
It’s the second year fordocument shredding,carried out this year bya company called Shred-Itwhich brings in a mobileunit.
“A lot of people saidthey didn’t realize we weredoing this, so hopefully thisyear we will get moreparticipation,” Smith said.“It’s a nice option for peopleto have.”
In general, Smith saidEast Lansing residentsshow strong support forcurbside recycling, with 70to 75 percent participatingon a weekly basis. Calcu-lated on a monthly basis,that rate nears 80 percent.

Of the total, $70,000 willgo toward textbooks – whichAsh said will take care ofthe most critical needs – andanother $20,000 will supportstudent clubs. The remain-ing $60,000 will be assignedto a budgetary need later.
Ash thanked the OEF forthe “positive manner” inwhich the organization sup-ports Okemos schools
Last resort optionOne of the larger pieces
of erasing the deficit, anestimated $490,000, wouldcome from privatizing cus-todial employees. However,Clark emphasizes, thatoption is considered a lastresort.
The district has 19 cus-todians among its 30-per-
son operations department.Clark said that is an
In one scenario outlinedby Clark and operationsdirector Steve Lathrop, sev-eral custodians would sharetime between two build-ings. Outside bids alreadysolicited would be for threeyears if accepted.
“None of (the cuts) areviable options to supportteaching, learning and ourfamilies,” Ash said. “But wehave to find the $5 million.”
By state law, the dis-trict’s budget must bepassed by July 1.
One potential cut that isbeing considered as a lastresort is trimming of thehigh school counseling stafffrom four to 2.25 full-timeequivalents.
While the reductionwould give each counselora workload of 600 students– three times what isrecommended by nationalcounseling organizations –Superintendent Dr. Cathe-
Continued from Page 1
Jumprine Ash said the changewould bring the high schoolin line with other schools inthe district.
“I can’t work any harderfor this district,” longtimehigh school counselor BethJosephson told boardmembers. “When did coun-
selors become non-essen-tial employees at OkemosPublic Schools?”
High school counselorHedlun Walton noted thenumbers of AdvancedPlacement tests adminis-tered have gone from 475to 691 over the last three
years, and that 1,000 collegeapplications came throughthe counseling office thisyear.
Other options consideredto be on the “last resort” list are across the board wagecuts and a cut in the readingconsultant staff.
Although any savings areuncertain at this point,board members voted to joinan Ingham IntermediateSchool District consortiumon busing. The approvaldoes not obligate the boardto make any immediate deci-sions about transportation.

The Click It or Ticketcampaign, including a clev-erly animated television ad,is running on Fox SportsDetroit and other channelspopular with young menbetween 18 and 34. That’s
the age most likely to notbuckle up, experts say.
“It needs to be drivenhome for young males,”Hall said. “It seems themost effective way is to hitthem in the pocketbook.”
MERIDIAN TWP. – Thepercentage of seatbelt usersis falling in Michigan,according to MeridianTownship Police ChiefDavid Hall said this week.
While 95 percent ofmotorists buckle up, the 2percent drop means some350,000 people are travel-ing without being belted in.
“We recognize we cando better,” Hall said at aMay 23 press conferencemarking the opening of twoweeks of “Click It or Ticket”enforcement in mid-Michi-gan.
“In 2010 350,000 peoplerisked their lives by nottaking a couple of secondsto buckle up.”
Research shows whenseat belts are used prop-erly, the risk of being killedin a crash is reduced bynearly 50 percent.
Although Michigan isamong the top-rated statesin the country in seat beltusage, its use ratedecreased to 95.2 percent
in 2010 compared to an all-time-high rate of 97.9 per-cent in 2009.
According to the Mich-igan State Police CriminalJustice Information Center,more than half the state’spassenger vehicle occu-
pants, or 321 people, whodied last year were unbuck-led.
To help address this dipin belt use, five additionalcounties are taking partin this year’s enforcementeffort.
Safety belt enforcementzones will be set up ran-domly throughout the areauntil Sunday, June 5.
Anyone caught withouta buckled seat belt will beticketed and fined $65. In all,more than 200 law enforce-ment agencies across Mich-igan will be participating.
On the third day of theenforcement campaign,township police issued 21tickets.
Revenue issueAnd while Hall said
many believe ticket writingby police is simply to col-
lect extra revenue, it’s notabout the money.
“We would not be herepromoting this campaign ifit were about extra reve-nue,” he said. “We wouldrather see you drive safe.”
Patrols will be conductedat different times of the day,but especially after dark.Hall said there’s evidenceof seat belt use decliningonce the sun goes down.
“Seat belt use keeps ourfamilies and our communi-ties safe,” he added.
Perhaps not surprisingly,Hall said his departmentmakes many other arrestsas a result of traffic stops,whether it be discoveringan outstanding warrant orcollaring an intoxicateddriver.
“Many of the big thingsthat we do are from trafficstops,” he noted.

Subcommittee member DeborahBaughman said three candidates were con-sidered. Also applying were Angela Wilsonand Vincent Lyon-Callo.

The long-time park commissionerpassed away Nov. 30, 2007 at age93. His wife of 68 years, Marijane,passed away on Aug. 31, 2010 at age94.
“Ted contributed significantly tothe quality of life in our communityover the years and we are verypleased to honor him with this dedi-cation,” Director of Parks and Recre-ation LuAnn Maisner said.
Black, a Chicago native, earned adoctoral degree in zoology from the
University of Illinois in 1941.He did postdoctoral research at
the University of Wisconsin withAldo Leopold, considered the found-ing father of wildlife ecology.
Black’s career included stints asa wildlife biologist with the Michi-gan Department of Conservation, 17years as the director of the Rose LakeWildlife Research Center and Chief ofthe Office of Environmental Reviewin the Michigan Department of Natu-ral Resources.
He served two terms on the Merid-ian Township Board of Trustees from1984 to 1992, and his subsequenttenure on the Environmental andParks commissions saw him lead asuccessful fight to establish a wetlandprotection ordinance.
The park is located at 4714 VanAtta Road, and the public is welcometo attend the dedication.

My father, JosephT. Waligore, wasawarded the
Legion of Honor Medal onMay 8 in Florida for hisrole in liberating Francefrom the Nazis.
He was drafted to servein World War II. He waspart of six campaigns –five in continental Europe,one in Sicily. Amongthose campaigns were thefight for Normandy and theBattle of the Bulge.
For younger readers,who may not know whatthat means, let me explainit like this: Only 3 percentof his unit survived.
My Dad did not escapeunscathed. He was shottwice. For his bravery, hewas awarded two BronzeStars. For his wounds,a Purple Heart with OakCluster. And on May 8,at the direction of theFrench President, Dad anda dozen of his fellow sol-diers were awarded theLegion of Honor medalfor their role in liberatingFrance from the Nazis.
Although sadly, muchof the history is lost ontoday’s youth, the legacyof those soldiers’ efforts
very much lives on. Ashe pointed out to me,had America not gotteninvolved and had thoseAmerican boys not givenit everything they had,we would all be speakingGerman today.
To say that we owethese men and women a lotdoesn’t begin to do it jus-tice. Our whole way oflife was threatened and inliving up to the exampleof our Founding Founders,a few brave Americansrisked everything and lostmuch.
It is hard to imagine thephysical pain and struggleof years of battle. I thinkthe thing that stuck withme the most is thought ofmy father not seeing his
oldest daughter until shewas 21/2 years old.
It is hard to describe thesum total of what Ameri-ca’s soldiers give up forthis country. It is hard todescribe what their fami-lies give up for this coun-try. But even harder thanthat is to try to put intowords just how much thiscountry means to those sol-diers and their families.
I’m not sure I have thewords. All I can tell you isthat if you meet a man likeJoseph Waligore, shake hishand, and look him in theeye, you know how luckyyou are to live in a countrythat could produce suchdevotion.”

The East Lansing CityCouncil is to becongratulated for sup-porting local elementaryschools. Our council recog-nizes how vitally importantour walk-to, neighborhoodschools are. Ideally, ele-mentary schools can be theepicenters of our neighbor-hoods.
The council correctlymentions that, “There is ademonstrable link betweenquality schools and prop-erty values and we believethat proximity to thoseschools matters.” Amen.
The council also getsthe economics right.Indeed it may have helpedpull the school board backfrom the brink.
Here’s why. The dis-trict’s facilities committeepresented rebuild optionscosting from $54.6 millionto $58.6 million. Eachwould close Glencairn andWhite Hills. And it pre-sented a low budget plan to
remodel all six elementarybuildings for $33 million.
So, the board would askGlencairn and White Hillstaxpayers to maintain theirproperty tax rate (ratherthan let it drop)…but losetheir neighborhood school.
The city council ques-tioned the wisdom of this:“It is our opinion that therenovation option (OptionC in the K-8 Committeereport) needs to be morefully explored.
“In particular, webelieve an analysis of ren-ovations with more thanthe funding outlined in thereport ($33M) should beexplored in detail. In otherwords, what can be done if$45M or even $60M toutedfor new construction wasutilized on renovations?”
For about that muchmoney the committee esti-
mated we could have sixnew buildings at the cur-rent locations.
The administration andboard counter that theclosings are needed to savemoney. But when pressed,they say economics isn’tthe driving factor.
Let’s hope not. The K-8Committee report esti-mates the savings fromconsolidation at as muchas $540,000. One com-mittee member (an MSUeconomist) estimates thesavings closer to $50,000.
The board plans to sellthe Timberlane adminis-tration building, whichbrings in about $158,000 ayear in rental income.
So, if the professor isright, consolidation couldend up costing $100,000 ayear, along with the lossof Glencairn and WhiteHills.

OKEMOS — The 5K4TJRun/Walk to raise moneyfor eating disorder researchand to honor a local wom-an’s son will be held at 10a.m. Saturday, June 4, atKinawa Middle School.
T.J Warschefsky dieddoing sit-.ups in his apart-ment at dental school afterbattling anorexia for 8 1/2years.
He was an outstandingstudent and athlete atOkemos High School, buthis battle with perfection-ism and his desire to havea “six-pack” and muscularbody spiraled out of con-trol.
He went to residentialtreatment centers threetimes for a total of sixmonths, with no success.
Last year because of thisrace, a golf outing andcountless friends donating,an international call wassent out for a $20,000research grant.
Twelve scientists appliedfrom several countries. Dr.
Wade from Australia wasgiven the money to per-form research on the brain,trying to find medication tohelp.
Because of T.J., duringthe past four years, 14people battling this misun-derstood illness, have gonefor treatment and manyfamilies have been sup-ported.
Susan Barry, a retiredteacher from Mason, iswriting a book to tell herson’s story to help preventwhat she and her familyand son had to go through.
Support effortsShe has done several
talks, held a support group,and continues to raiseawareness and knowledgeof this extremely compli-cated illness.
Susan said that she some-times receives two callsa week from frantic par-ents, searching for help,sometimes from folks threehours away
“The networking hasbeen incredible in this com-munity. It’s been amazingto see how many familieshave been helped becauseof someone knowing some-one and then they somehowget my name and number,”she said.
She said she believeshaving anorexia is likebeing bipolar. If you tellsomeone who is bipolar tojust decide to be the happyside of their personality andgive them all the reasonswhy that would be best forthem...it is impossible forthem to do.
T.J.’s dental studentfriends sent his mom a thou-sand dollar check to startan annual 5K4TJ. The thirdannual is coming soon. Reg-ister at playmakers.com —-click on the monthly calen-dar on the left, go to June,click on June 4. Many prizesfor all walkers and runnerswho register and attend.

WILLIAMSTON — For most,track and field is considered anindividual sport.
No teammates to depend on andno others to blame.
But the key to the East Lansingboys team’s success — and oneof the reasons for its Division 2regional championship Saturday,May 22 — is that for the Trojans it’sanything but an individual sport.
“We have a sound team becausewe are not just here to win indi-vidual events, we’re always cheer-ing each other on,” senior sprinterand long jumper Tim Kulang said.“Our biggest goal is to win a teamchampionship and nothing less.”
The Trojans won a team cham-pionship, dominating the regionalwith 166 points. Haslett was a dis-tant second with 96.5. The nextstop for the East Lansing boys willbe the Division II State Finals Sat-urday, June 4.
Kulang is a member of all threesprint relay teams for the EastLansing boys.
“We wanted to come out hereand have everyone do well,”Kulang said.
“The weather is good so wewanted everyone to [get personalrecords] today and do better thanwe have all year.”
And the Trojan relay teams didjust that winning all three sprintrelays as well as the 3,200-meterrelay.
However, the relays weren’t theonly places East Lansing demon-strated its strength as a team. TheTrojans had the first- and second-place finishers in both the longjump and the 400-meter dash.
Lawrence Collins and Dan Tylerran sub 50-second races in the 400,putting them among the state’selite. Tyler finished second and
credits much of his success to Col-lins, who beat him by 0.13 sec-onds.
“Being able to compete everyday at practice has been a reallygood for us,” Tyler said. “We’reteammates, so we like to see eachother do well, but there is also thatcompetitiveness in us.”
Gavin Midlam qualified for thestate meet in both the 110- and300-meter hurdles for East Lan-sing and said the team is still get-ting better.
“I think we’re going to peak atthe state meet,” he said. “We’vebeen putting in a lot of work atpractice and doing good, toughworkouts, and it looks like it’s allgoing to come together at the righttime for us.”
