Having rnultiple valedictorims is a trend seen in a number of school districts, includinp Cass, City, for sev- cral years. The trend has sparked somedebateoverthe type af grading system that should be used to determine a class’s top students. Supt. Ken Micklash said Cass City still uses the oldfashioned 4.0scale. which does not take into account plusses and minuses. Using a scale that incorporates plusses and minuses would likely reduce the number of valedictorians, he said, but Cass City graduates have proven time and time again that they earned thc honor. In fact. school officials have conducted studies tracking former honor graduates,and those studies revealed a majority of past valedictorians continued to excel academically as they pursued college degrees. “I guess thar’s what it’s all about,” Micklash said. “I’d rather be concerned about a lot of kids doing well than doing worst‘. “We’re all happy for them,” he added. “They’re good kids .” This year’s \paledictorians are: Danielle J.

Cass City Public Schools PROGRESS IN EDUCATION from the desk of Ken Micklash, Srrperintrirderrt Safety Continues To Be A TOP PRIORITY A very similar article was published last year for your review, but because of the imporancc of this topic, I wish to run it again. The primary function of our school district is to provide the best educational opportuniies possible for our students. Our district has a detailed District Crisis Communication Plan which provides valuable information if we ever have to deal with a crisis such as: accidents in school, threats, gas leaks, medication overdoses, power failures, fires, explosions and a variety of other issues. The plan, which includes all of our buildings floor plans, has been given to the Cass City Police Department, Tuscola County Sheriff Department and Michigan State Police Department in Caro. The crisis plan has been shared with all building principals who have reviewed it with staff. In case it would ever be necessary to evacuate our students to an off site location, we have agreements with various comniunity facilities to do so. The evacuation plan includes students from every building in our district. Staff in all buildings have been informed of codes which direct them to take certain types of action in potentially dangerous situations. Additionally, an emergency only, telephone has been linked from each classroom to the building office, which is to be used only in the case of a 911 emergency. Should we ever have a crisis to deal with, the superintendent’s office would serve as the communication center. The Village of Cass City has agreed to allow us to use the rnunicipal building as a secondary location for communications. In addition to these plans we feel other procedures, programs and activities our school have in place are of equal or even of greater importance when promoting school safety. For example, our district has been promoting the concept of character education. For the past five ( 5 ) years our staff members have been emphasizing the following character education building blocks with our students when appropriate: Respect, Responsibility, Trustworthiness, Fairness, Caring and Citizenship. Student council activities, at all levels, have emphasized good citizenship traits. Treating others the way we want to be treated has been and will always be an important rule in which to live by. Our students are reminded of this regularly. The Natural Helpers Program, which has been in place for several years in the high school, has helped train many staff and students with how to be good listeners and how to help others with problem solving and conflict resolution. The middle school has had the student responsibility program in place for the past few years. This program encourages students who have made behavior errors to think about what they did wrong and develop a plan to help avoid making poor judgment decisions in the future. The high school has incorporated a similar approach into the in-school suspension program. The in-school suspension program provided students the opportunity to remain in school while serving suspensions, which have resulted from disciplinary infractions. Developing a corrective behavioral plan is also incorporated into this program. Additionally, our district employs two (2) guidance counselors and two( 2) social workers who help students with current problems and provide guidance with decisions that affect their future. Good schools provide a caring and safe environment, with structure in which students can learn. The Cass City Public School District has top quality schools that provide this type of setting.

The investigation began Oct. 3 1 , 1996, when Sanilac C o u n t y S h c r i f f ’s de p u t i c s invcstigating a complaint o f horses running loose discovcrcd that the 75-acre farm on Argyle Road had been convcrtcd into a sophisticated marijuana growing and processing opcration. Thc OL*ciipants of the I’iirtn had dready Icf‘t thc area prior to the arrival of police. Thc wbsequent invcstigation led drug task forcc officers 600 miles south through Ohio and into south central Kcntucky, where the farm’s rnanagers and inarijuana growcrs lived. The trail then led 600 miles southwest to Evansvillc, Ind., where the farm’s owners wcrc discovered to be largescale distributors of marijuana in the Evansville area. During the investigation, officers learned that the farm was purchased bq the Indi- ana men in February 1995 and was immediately converted into a large-scale marijuana growing/proccssing operation. More than 14,000 marijuana plants were grown and processed in I995 and nearly 19,000 plants were grown and processed in 1996. The work was completed by about 15 migrant workers who were housed and worked in the barns during the height of the operation. Gray said all of the marijuana was transp,orted back to Kentucky and Indiana for wholesaldretail distribution ip those arcas. The high potency marijuana was sold by the distribution organization at prices ranging from $1,600 to $4,000 per pound based on the quantity purchased. The group is helievcd to have generated several million dollars in sales proceeds during its 2-year operation. Puhl ic institutions, large and small, have a similar u h arac t er i st i c . Me i n hers of thcsc boards want to makc i m port an t dcc i si on s away from the public eye. In small towns for sure and, for the most part. in larger citics members of thexc hoards are people that have experienced success in thcir fields of endeavor. They arc used to making decisions with no need for public discussion. The open meetings act has helped keep the avenues of communication open to the people who arc paying thc hill. In the days before the law was passed, good people went to extreme lengths to keep the facts and the decisions hidden. I can recall 2 more blatant cases in Cass City when hiding decisions was not illegal. First a couple o f more recent cases that appeared in the ncws last week. Remcmber, thc cussing canoeist who was convicted under a 100-year-old statute for using the language i n front of women and children after he was dumped in the Rifle River 4 years ago‘! His co nv ic ti on was overt ur ncd by the court of appeals, but thc fret: speech controversy has had a beneficial cffect for residents who live by thc river. It’s been yuicter and folks using the river have been more respectful to the rights of private owncrship. A school hoard in Livonia, according to a story i n thc Detroit Ncws, is being sued by a group over the salc of 2.7 acres to a developer to build 12 houses. The dissidents say the board was in violation o f thc open mcctings act 9 times. Rcpardless o l the outcome it is ccrtainly bad public Iclattons that could hc avcrtcd i f the board brought this issue befiw the voters in opcn sohion, Now let’s rcvicw 2 01‘ the m m y c a w + of’ boardh closing ranks 10 keep ItlI‘orl11Lition I’rorn thcir constituents C ~ S City.

R e mcmhcr. ioo. that the people making thcsc decisions were doing it a s a public service with the best o f intentions. To keep the press away, for sevcral monhs thc hoard had reg u I ar b r L‘a k I;?s t sc ss i on s’’ where many ol‘thc issues of the day wcrt: scheduled. Whcn parking meters wcrc authorized thc board held a special, unannounccd meeting to vote them i n and the vote was recorded with one negative ncvcr revealed vote. It might have been better to gct i t out in the open at a rcgular meeting and hear from those who thought it was a bad idea and with our changing busincss conditions have proved to hc right. It might be hard for board members to takc the heat at the time, but public involvement almost always forms a stronger bond with whatever public institutions these elec 1 officials represcnt. ” It’s always fun to rcad about the days whcn farming was done with horscs arid mules. Fanners were quick to switch to tractors whcn they had the chance, but they kncw thc cold steel of the tractor would never replace the flesh and blood personality of thc old workhorse. Those of us who were born too late to witness the cra of the horse will remcmber the old tractors had some personality, too. Every farm had several tractors when I was a kid, and each had its own little quirks. Many of us learned to drive on a Ferguson, and these tractors certainly had a mind of thcir own. The Ferguson was small, but it could get a kid in troublc if he didn’t remcmbe r i t s sh o r t co in i n g s. There were foot brakes on both sides of these little beasts and a foot clutch on one side. I suppose a person who had three feet could push all three pedals at once, but the rest of us had to settle for jumping on the clutch with one foot and a brake with the othcr. This would stop the tractor on the level, or on a hill if you weren’t pulling a load. But with a heavy wagon o r implement behind, a 90pound kid was like a flea on a trampoline as he tried to exert enough forcc on thc brake to stop the tractor. So wc had some cxcitcment ahead i f we were going downhill, or thrills bchind if going uphill. Farmers tried t o put most of thcir buildings on the high ground to keep the kids from crashing into thcm with the Fcrguson. I drove an old Oliver during my teen years, and this one had some drawhacks. too. If you tirrncd the whecls of thc Oliver rc;d short and thcn hit something solid (like thc cdgc of ;i furrow) the stccring shal‘t would pop out ot‘ position. That rncani I h x l no steering and pl-ohably stinuld stop thc tractor fairly soon. Ollic and I took out a tcw fcnce posts that way. My ,brother's John Deere “B” was the most f u n to drive, because i t was fast. We would hook the “B” to a rotary hoc, put ‘er in fifth gear, and R-r-r-o-o-o-om! The old John Deere had a problem i n the cylindcrs, Mental Health Problems Do Not iscriminate by Roger Pond causing it to spit little flecks of oil from the exhaust. The exhaust was on top of these tractors, right in front of the driver, so the kid driving the “B” was pretty well oiled by the end of the day. We didn’t care, though. That film of oil, mixed with sun and dust, produced one of the nicest tans you’d ever want to see. My dad bought a John Deere “60” about the same time my brother had thc “B”. The “60” developed a glitch i n the hand clutch that caused the clutch to re-engage if you pushed it too far forward. I learned this while pulling a hay n ~ g near m the barn. I can’t imagine why a barn needs all those little pieces of wood along the corners, anyway. My least favorite tractor was our old Allis Chalmers. The Allis was fine as long as you kept i t running, but if she died, the driver spent the rest of thc day cranking. My brother, Jim, was the only one who could crank the Allis fast enough to start her when she was hot. Jim is one of those people who can upload a wagon full of hay in about 10 minutes. If you make him mad, he can do it in two minutes. That Allis made him niad nearly every day. The Weather Tuesday ................................. Wednesday ............................

The flier claims I made the motion to increase the weekly unerrrployment benefits from their 1995 amount of $300 to $362, which is not true. I did second the motion because that proposal was the highest amount the cornmittee members seemed to agree with, and I wanted to have the measure go to the full House for discussion. The House didn’t agree with that version of the bill, so back in committee I proposed a 25-percent increase to $375 a week.

As children grow older and continue to say their prayers, hopefully the meaning of the words will become more clear to them. However, because we are so accustomed to simply reciting memorized prayers as children, we often do not reflect on the meaning of what we are saying. When we pray, we should truly understand our prayers and not just move our lips and go through the motions. Our attitude should be one of love, trust and respect for our Heavenly Father. Praying memorized or spontaneous prayers from the heart is well-received, and we should realize that when we are praying we are in the presence of God. The Bible tells us that our Father in Heaven already knows what we need even before we ask Him, and also that we should be forgiving of others so that our Father will forgive us. When we pray, it is for our benefit, and when our prayers are meaningful, we are returning God’s wonderful love. ’l’licboard 01‘ Rawson Mcillor-id Lihrriry is planning ;in open house i n h o n o r o f retiri n g Ilircctor, Barbara H u IC Ii i n soti . ‘I’lic open house is slated for Sunday, April 14 from I to 4 p 111.

This is the version that the House approved and sent to the Senate. The amount is not the $415 the unions were aiming for, but something their flier did not mcntion is that not all unemployed workers would received that amount. To qualify for thc cntire benefit an employee must make inore than $19.50 an hour, so i t is unlikely thc fuzzy math shown on the flier would add u p to thc figurc they tout. I also found the flier’s claim that local businesses were k i n g hurt by the unemployment hcncfit increase very interesting.

I’ve been unable to walk long distances, do lawn care, feed the animals or even have a garden. The pain had increased to my ankles and the end to walking was fast approaching. I knew a total knee replacement was, the only answer. A friend of mine recommended Dr. DeSantis to me. After one visit, I was ready for my knee replacements and the stralghtenlng of my left leg. Dr. DeSantis had explained t o me that my knees had no more cartilage and it was bone on bone. That is why I was In so much paln. Due to the knees being so bad, my leg was sticking out by about four inches. One month after surgery, I was walking a half mlle and couldn’t believe how fast I had recovered. That’s when I s a t down and figured out why. I was in a win, win, win sltuation. I had lots of progress and a certified massage therapist (Nancy) who worked on my knees prior t o surgery and Increased the clrculatlon and flexibillty of them. Then I was given t h e opportunity t o see Dr. DeSantis who gave me the gift of walking wlthout pain again and the ability to do the things I love. Last of all, I had a physical therapist (Jenny WQlte) who worked with me after the surgery. I’m walking 3/4 mile and getting stronger each day. Thank vou t o all who have helDed me be able to walk again without pain. Dr. DeSantis, you did an excellent job of ‘lurgery and I will strongly recommend you to all. Again, I am so pleased.

The prtsject addresses the levels of obcsity among youth. The percentage of children and adolescents who are overweight has almost doubled since 1980. About 1 1 percent of youths are now overweight, a condition that puts them at risk for high blood pressure, high cholesterol and high insulin levels. They are also more likely to become overweight adults who are at increased risk for heart disease and diabetes. Because behaviors are often established in childhood, school officials are striving to promote healthy behaviors by giving kids the knowledge and skills to become healthy, productive adults. Robert Mincr, regional health education coordinator, recently worked with a team of school personnel to help them identify important areas that contribute to heal thy students. The group used the School Health Index tool to rank the following areas according to specific critcria: hcalth d u cat i o n , ph y s i c a1 t‘d 11I:a t i () n. hcnlth services, nutrition scrviccs, counseling. pcychological and social services, and family/community involvement.

And yes, he cven swung a golf club after reaching his destination Neko Harbor. 10 YEARS AGO Cass City Village officials last week sct public hearings on a proposed Downtown Development Authority and ;1 special assessment district for 1992 street improvements.

The Cass City Board of Education threw a roadblock into ambitious plans by the Cass City Teachers’Association to become a member of a tricounty bargaining association Monday night at the regular meeting at the school.

Probably few things are as unpredictable as Michigan weathcr. Keith and Dave Little, like all other farrncrs, are keenly aware of that fact, but the father and son still look forward to each new growing season. It’s been weeks since the Littlcs ordered their seed and deter in i n ed what they w i I I plant this year - they typically grow 400 to 450 acres of corn and soybeans along with some dry beans and wheat. Now, it’s a matter of checking on their fields for signs that the soil is ready. Preparations will include breaking up the soil, although thc Littles grow some no-till soybeans, which arc plan tcd without first ti II i ng thc soil. “1,ast year I think we started planting thc 21st of April,” Davc said. “‘l’hat was abnorrnally early,” addcd Keith, who nolcd planting usually gets undcrway in latc April, dcpending on soil inoisturc and tern pcrat urc . “Corn g o e s in first. Last ycar we put i n corn and soybeans at thc same tirnc, but usually soyhcans arc plnntcd in rnid-May,” Davc said. “It dcpcnds on tlic w d i e r . ” “It seem like thcy’vc dc- MAIN STREET BOOKKEEPING SERVICES Experienced tax preparation services Reasonable rates 6436 Main Street, Cass City, MI 48726 989-872-8439 Denise Guinther Cyndi Martin vcloped seeds that arc riiorc cold resistant than thcy uscd to bc,” Keith said. The Littles won’t plant thcir dry beans until June. Again, they pointed out, sail moisture is a key factor to ensure good germ inat ion. Another key is planting depth. “With corn, you try to gct it down good, ;Icouple of inches,” Davc said, adding bcans arc plantcd shallower - an inch and a half‘ o r so - because they are shrtllow-rooted plants. Dc term i n i ng what to pI an t in which field is bascd, i n part, by thc Little’s rotation schedule. For examplc, they plant bcans in fields where they grew corn the year before, and they plant winter wheat i n the fall in fields where they grew bcans thc previous year. Also part of t hei r rota ti on arc pot at ocs grown by another farming operation, and they follow potatoes with corn duc to the higher concentration of fcrtilizcr uscd on potatoes. “It depends on the field. Sonic fields just won’t grow dry beans,’’ said Dave, who pointed out that soil type gravcl or heavy clay - is another factor that also affects how much wed is planted in each field. In gravelly soil, he said, the corn seed count is about 22,000 per acre because that soil type dries out quickly. I n good, heavy clay, the count is 28,000 to 32,000 secds pcr acre, and on irrigated land, the count is around 32,000 secds pcr ac re . “Wc plant all 30-inch rows o n corn. ‘Thcrc arc soiiit: guys t h at p I an t 2 2 - i nu h rows ,” Davc noted. “Wc’vc never dnnc 22-inch rows because it takes ;I lot 01‘ di ffcrcn I cqui pnicn t ,” Kcil h ddcd.

Herbicides can be applied after seeds have germinated, after planting but before the secds have come up, and prior to planting, “We’ve gotten away from that (preplanting applications), but I think we’ll be going back to that this year,” Keith said, adding it’s easier to control weeds before they have a chance to mature. Insects aren’t a huge probIcm, according to Dave, who said crop rotation is an important tool, although he occasionally uses an insecticide to combat leafhoppers on dry beans, and a fungicide to tackle white mold on soy beans. Many seed companies incorporate insect and disease resistance into their seeds. The issue of genetically engineered seed has sparked a big debate, Dave said, adding hc sees a lot of valuc in the practice. With genetically enginccred seeds, he explained, “you’re getting away from insccticidcs. I think it’s actually safer.” “As farrncrs, we’re concerned about food safety as much as the consumer hecause wc are a consumer,” Keith said. The Littles also usc fertilizer on sonic of their crops. Soybeans are a “scavenger plant” - thcy can grow just about anywhere - Dnve said. Howcvcr, he added, you havc to fcrtilim dry beans and corn, which is a particularly hcavy nitrogen “fecdcr”. “A lot of guys usc anhydrous (ammonia), but we usu 28 perccn t liquid ni trogcn,” Davc cont inucd. Keith said liquid nitrogen is safkr-IO handlc, ciuickcr to ;ipply and can be incorporated into the fxiit‘s irr igatlon systcm. Al(hough tlic Littlcs take advantage of InLiny tcwls to ensure II hcalthy c r o p * weat hcr, coni 111od i t y rii ;ir ke ts and other factors can niake figuring out the cost of production tricky. “Wc pretty much just kind of figurc what thc average has been ovcr a period of timo,” Kcitti said. He noted price Supports hclp to stabilizc the corn. soybean and wheat markcts, but there are no supports for dry beans and livestock (the Littlcs have 80 head of beef cattle and a farrow-to-finish hog operation that turns out 1,000 to 1,200 hogs annually). Dave said they also took advantage of an unexpccted opportunity last year when they were approached t o sell 11,000 acres of high moisture corn, which saved them drying costs and provided another farmer with feed. “It was a win-win situation for both guys,” hc addcd. $ 1 004 00 6749 Ql) DEMO, LOADED I I 2001 DODGE STRATI’S RIT Loaded, Leather, Suiiroof . . , , , ,.... $17,095 1999 OLDS AL,EHO G I , 1 Door.

No shortage of demandfor drought assistance loans As supporters cxpcutcd, there’s no shortagc 01‘ dc- mand for zero-intcrcst q r t cultural loans designcd to help Michigan farnicr\ who sustained severe wcathcr-rclated crop losscs last ycar. I n fact, officials with GrcenStone Farm Crcdlt Scrvices, the statc’s primary agricultural lending institution, say demand “has heen ovcrwhelming” across thc state. Jim Schiller, GrecnStonc chief executive officer, said the company had closed on 36 applications for loans totaling $2.5 million at thc end of March, which markcd about a month since statc 1eg i s I at i o n appro v i n g t hc loans was signed into law. As of April 3, GrecnStone had declared approximatcly 640 farmers statewide cligible for about $54 niillion in loans,.Schillcr said. Of the applications reccivcd, the average loan is about $84,000 per producer. “The demand is incrcasing every day,” said Schiller, adding that most of thc interest continues t o C O I T ~ C from farmersain the Sa&’ linaw V~lllcyand Thumb rcgions and the southwest corner of thc state whcrc drought and other wcathcr conditions drastically reduced yiclds and quality o f dry hems and g r apc s. Loan applications arc also being processcd by commercial banks participating in the v prograin, said Hob Bochiii, manager of the Michigan Farm Bureau (MFB) Coniniodity and Marketing Dcpart in c n t . “The Michigan Bankers Association is dcvcloping ;I list of banks particip;\ting in the progrmi,” I3octirri said. “We oxpcut to xcc cvcn mort‘ intcrctst i n thc progrmi ;is more con vcn I iona I lenders come on board.” M d c d Rochnl: “‘l‘hegoocl news is that thc proccsh i n undcr way, and Iiirniirs hurt by last ycar’s SLTLW w.c;itticr c.onclitions a t Ic;i\t ti;i\’c ;ICCCY, to ;I loan pt-ogriiiii that oI.l.~~rs s o i i i c liclp ;IS thcy try 10rcgniri hcir t i n ; i n u i d t‘oot. .. ins. r .

The statc’s cost for thc program is reimbursement to lenders for cxpcnses to administer the loans at no interest to produccrs. Thc loans have a maximum tcrin of 5 yuars. Repayment starts at the beginning of the third ycar. A farmer who qualifies for financial stress can bc loaned up to $*150,000,while a farmer who can provc production loss can be loaned u p to $200,000. Farmers interested i n accessing the program are advised to have their financial records in order before consulting thcir Icndcr. For instance, Schiller said produccrs need evidence of their loss, such as avcrage crop yiclds from years past and their 2001 yiclds. More information on qualifying criteria is available on the MFB We h site at www.michiganfrumhrau.corn. lcnder determines that a producer is eligible for thc lom program, the lcndcr ihcn must asscss the applicant’s credit worthiness.

Horse Liniment Eases Arthritis Pain OCALA, FL -- An ingredient derived from hot peppers that decreases inflammation in racehorse's legs, is now recognized as safe and effective for human use. The ingredient has been formulated into a product called ARTH-Rx" and comes ,in a strength designed for humans. Researchers are excited and say the formula can relieve arthritis pain for millions. Developed by the Phillips Gulf Corporation, ARTH-Rx is a breakthrough in the treatment ofpainhl disordersranging ti-om minor aches and pains to more serious conditions such as arthritis, bursitis,rheumatism,tendonitis, backache and more. Although the mechanism by which ARTH-Rx works to relieve pain is not totally clear, scientists suggest that pain is relieved because ARTH-Rx intercepts the messenger substance that sends pain signals to the brain. ARTH-P,x is available in a convenient roll-on applicator without a prescription.According to a spokesperson for the company, due to the overwhelming demand for ARTH-Rx, supplies are sometimes limited. ARTH-Rx can also be ordered by calling 1-800-729-8446. www.hcdsales.com 020o0p~c ARTH-Rx is available at: COACH LIGHT PHARMACY 6480 Main St. 872-3613 -- -- - I The redemption period shall be 6 months from the date of such sale, unless the property is determined abandoned i n accordance with MCLA 600.3241a, in which case the redemption period shall k 30 days from the date of the sale.
