DeWITT — During the first part of thedecade, when times were good and buildingpermits were flowing steadily, officials inDeWitt Township expected the township’spopulation would reach 14,000 by 2010.
But once the Great Recession set in, theyweren’t so sure.
“We thought that with the downturn ofthe economy, we probably wouldn’t reachthat goal,” township Manager Rod Taylorsaid. “Like everybody else, we stagnated alittle towards the end.”
So when the 2010 Census numbers camein last week, Taylor and many of his col-leagues in southern Clinton County werepleasantly surprised.
DeWitt Township’s population grew to14,321 in 2010, up nearly 18 percent from2000, the U.S. Census Bureau said. Water-town Township picked up 674 residents, anincrease of more than 16 percent.
Bath Township showed the biggest per-centage gain - a whopping 53.8 percent. Thetownship grew from 7,541 people in 2000 to11,598 in 2010, the Census Bureau said.
“That’s the big news around here today,”Township Supervisor Tom Schneider saidafter the numbers were released last Tues-day. “Everyone is pretty happy.”
Clinton County’s population grew bymore than 16 percent over the decade -the largest increase of any Michigan coun-ty. Overall, the Tri-County area’s populationrose by 3.6 percent between 2000 and 2010.
The city of DeWitt lost 195 residents, orabout 4 percent of its popultion, over thedecade, according to the Census Bureau.
Population gains translate into moremoney for municipalities because popula-tion is factored into the revenue-sharingformula. It’s unclear if those funding mech-

DeWITT TWP. — The township has anew building inspector.
Robert Logan, a certified mechanicaland building inspector, was the unanimouschoice of a four-member committee that in-
terviewed four finalists for the job, town-ship Manager Rod Taylor said.
The Township Board recently approvedthe hiring of Logan.
Logan will work part-time and earn about$20 an hour.
He replaces Chad Miller, the former full-time building official who left for a job in
the private sector last fall.Logan will work 16 to 20 hours a week
or as needed once building activity increas-es, Taylor said.
Code enforcement services are beingprovided by Bath Township under a con-tract approved last fall.
“This is a part-time position,” Taylor said.
“With the downturn in the economy, wetook the opportunity to re-evaluate our pre-vious way of doing things.”
Logan is certified as a building inspec-tor, building official, mechanical inspector,plan reviewer and instructor for construc-tion codes and has extensive experience inthe building trades.

anisms will change.Taylor and Bath Township Superinten-
dent Troy Feltman said they’re not surehow much more their townships will seewhen the state begins doling out revenuebased on the new Census numbers, prob-ably this summer.
But there could be other benefits, in-cluding a better shot at grants that use pop-ulation as a baseline, local officials said.
“It might offer some new opportunitiesfor us that we haven’t had before,” Feltmansaid.
But revenue isn’t the only reason tobe happy about the Census figures, Taylorsaid. The numbers demonstrate that south-ern Clinton County is a place where peoplewant to live, he said.
“We’re the fastest growing jurisdictionin the state,” he said. “And I think we have
to attribute that to the quality of life wehave here and the regional cooperationwe’ve shown.”
A big housing development along Chan-dler Road in Bath and DeWitt townshipscertainly added to the area’s populationgains.
But new or expanded subdivisions hada big impact on DeWitt Township’s growth,Taylor said. From 1998 to 2003, the town-ship issued between 109 and 151 new build-ing permits a year, he said. Those numberstailed off during the latter half of the de-cade, he said.
Clinton County - and the Lansing areaas a whole - were a bright spot in a gen-erally bleak Census picture for Michigan,which lost nearly 54,000 people during thedecade. Detroit lost about a fourth of itspopulation between 2000 and 2010.
The city of Lansing’s population fell byabout 4 percent.

EAST LANSING, MI | HOW MANYFRIENDS HAVE TOLD YOU THEY LOVE
THEIR HEARING AIDS? Now how manyhave said their hearing aids makesome sounds too loud, don’t workwell in noise, or they can’t tell if theyare really helping them hear at all?Audiologists and dispensers try tomake hearing aids function the bestthey can to give the patient a goodoutcome. But there were always a lotof difficulties surrounding comfortand understanding of speech.
Let’s say you havea small child,an average sizedwoman, and a verylarge man, all withthe same hearingloss. All hearingaids would beprogrammed the
same way, according to the hearingaid manufacturers software. But theear canals themselves must figureinto the process, as well. Withoutdiving into too much physics, earcanal size and shape for the childwould be quite small. The womanwould be close to the average sizeear canals and the man’s ear canalswould be quite large and long. Thechild would receive too much powerfrom the hearing aids, the woman’sfitting would be close, and the man’shearing aids would seem very quiet.All hearing aid manufacturers basetheir science off the average ear. Butno one has the average ear.Live speech mapping is the latestinnovative approach to hearing aidfitting which uses natural speech toshow how effective digital hearing
aids are in helping you to hearspeech. With digital speech mapping,an actual speech signal, not tones orhissing sounds, is used to test thehearing aids while inserted in thepatient’s ears.This allows for the shapeand size of the patient’s ear canals to beincluded in the fitting process, as wellas using the most important signal wehear, speech. For hearing aid fittingsto be successful, speech must beappropriately amplified with respectto loudness, clarity, and comfort.Soft speech should be perceived assoft, moderate speech sounds shouldbe perceived as moderate, and loudspeech sounds should not reach thepatient’s discomfort level.Speech mapping helps to provide
a clear “visual” sense of the hearingloss, and the benefits or perhaps thelimitations that your current hearingaids offer in relation to actual speech.While wearing hearing aids, a tinyprobe microphone is inserted intothe ear canal while the hearing aidsare running, then a stimulus (voices/music) is used to measure the outputand shows if the hearing aids areamplifying sounds appropriately. TheLive Speech Map is displayed on amonitor through easily-understoodgraphics so that you can actuallysee sounds that are missing and bepresented with a clear visual senseof hearing loss and aided benefitsrelating to actual speech. It allowsyou to see graphically just how theaid is performing in a live, real worldenvironment.Once we see what sounds you’re
missing, we’ll be able to tune yourpersonal hearing aids until it restoresthe missing speech patterns andtones. So, not only will you hear thedifference a hearing aid makes withyour speech, you’ll be able to see thesounds being restored visually aswell. A successful hearing aid fittingshould be a dynamic, patient-centered
process. To achieve optimum success,the dispensing professional musttailor the process to meet the needs,abilities, and desires of the patient.If you are wondering if your hearingaids, or those of your loved ones, aremeeting their current needs, pleasecall Accuquest Hearing Center at
877-560-3786. Request a no chargeconsultation using the Auricle DigitalSpeech Mapping System. This systemhas set the acknowledged industrystandard for hearing instrumentfitting equipment. This can lead toa better insight into exactly howhearing aids are performing.

Should 12 percent rule?The truth is 12 percent of the work
force are members of a union. Their ben-efit and wage packages far exceed that oftheir non-union counterparts. Cities andschool districts are on the verge of bank-ruptcy.
Governor Snyder and the legislaturehave looked at the options. There is noeasy solution. The state can’t bailout thecities because they don’t have the money.
So what’s the solution? Go to Lansingand protest! Maybe it’s time to follow Pres-ident Obama’s advice and get some “Skin
In The Game.” Everyone is suffering inthis economy. Maybe the unions shouldbecome part of the solution instead of anobstacle to turning Michigan around.
Schools and cities need accountability,just like private businesses. Private sectorbusinesses cut when it is required to livewithin their means. Cities and school dis-tricts have to come to the realization thatthere is no “Obama money” left.
If the cities and school districts can’tmake the tough decisions the “emergencyfinancial managers” will.

LANSING — For the first time in years, there is a se-vere shortage of volunteers who help deliver Meals OnWheels. The Tri-County Office on Aging program providesmore than 450,000 hot, nutritious meals annually in Clin-ton, Eaton, and Ingham counties to older adults and peo-ple with disabilities.
More than 1,600 people volunteer each year to deliverMeals On Wheels. At least 170 more volunteers are cur-rently needed to deliver either daily, weekly or once amonth. Training takes less than an hour.
The most critical needs are in the following areas:• Greater Lansing (517 -887-1460) needs more than 100
volunteers with the greatest needs in East Lansing, northand south Lansing.
• Clinton County (989-224-3600) needs volunteers inDeWitt, St. Johns, and Eureka.
According to Bob Parsons, a Meals On Wheels volun-teer who coordinates a downtown Lansing route with col-leagues from the Michigan Department of Transportation,delivering Meals On Wheels is the ideal volunteer experi-ence. “You can deliver as often as your schedule allows.Most routes can be done on a lunch hour so almost anyonecan deliver Meals On Wheels”, said Parsons. He added,“Not only do you help people with a nutritious meal, youalso brighten their day with a smile and friendly face.”
To find out how to become a volunteer, call the num-bers above.
“Community support for this program is tremendous,”said Jim Allen, Nutrition Director for the Tri-County Of-fice on Aging. “Many companies adopt a Meals On Wheelsroute, but working individuals, retirees, stay-at-home par-ents, religious and community organizations can all adopta Meals On Wheels route or volunteer. We are confidentthat the community will rally to meet this need,” he add-ed.

This is Part II of a se-ries discussing intestinalparasites. Part I dealt withspring’s impact on theirproliferation and dangersthey pose to pets and hu-mans. In this article I willtell you how we routinelyidentify the various intes-tinal parasites, how theyare treated and what can bedone to minimize reinfec-tion.
Let me start by statingthe obvious: Test accuracyis largely dependent uponthe sample provided. Do youknow who produced it? Andhow do you get a good sam-ple?
Are you certain the spec-imen you collected is fromyour pet? More than once Ihave identified worm eggsthat were not consistentwith the species from whichthe sample was supposed tohave come from. Let’s behonest. It’s not much fun,in the wee hours of themorning, to follow your petaround waiting for them tofind the “perfect” spot. Whenthey do, it may have been the
“perfect” spot others havefound. There is an advantageto collecting a sample on acold morning. Rising steam,from one recently voided,makes locating it a breeze.
How fresh should it be? Arule of thumb is to collect itthe day it is produced. Coldslows the hatching of wormeggs. When it’s near freez-ing, this is less important.Conversely, eggs hatch with-in a day during the summermonths! Hence, when it’swarm, it is extremely im-portant to keep the samplecool. Don’t leave it in a car,for any length of time, evenif the windows are down.Should you choose to storethe sample in the refrigera-tor, please label and doublebag it.
How much is needed torun the test? About ateaspoon is perfect. Over-
achievers often present uswith nearly a pound of ma-terial! This is truly unneces-sary.
To run the test, my tech-nician adds an ounce of asuper saturated sugar solu-tion to the feces. This mix-ture is strained, poured intoa test tube and placed in acentrifuge. A cover slip isset on top of the test tube.For five minutes it is spun ata precise speed. This causesany worm eggs to float tothe top and adhere to thecover slip. The cover slipis carefully removed, placedon a slide and analyzed witha microscope.
Why do we go to the trou-ble of using a supersaturat-ed sugar solution to run thistest? When compared to oth-er preparations, the sugarsolution results in a ten-foldincrease in the number ofeggs collected! Here’s a lit-tle tidbit you should know.Whipworms are the lowestvolume egg producers withthe heaviest eggs, makingthem the hardest to find. Un-less a supersaturated sugarsolution is used we have
minimal success detectingwhipworms even with a sig-nificant burden.
In addition to doing theflotation analysis, when in-dicated, some of the fecalmaterial will be examineddirectly under the micro-scope. This is done mostcommonly when a bacterialovergrowth is suspected andto find giardia.
There is no single “de-wormer” that treats all of theparasites that affect pets. Toprescribe a proper anthel-mentic, we need to knowwhat parasite is present.Many of the heartwormpreventives your veterinar-ian prescribes also preventsome of the more commonintestinal parasites fromcausing medical problems.
For more informationabout this and other pethealth concerns, contact anexpert, your veterinarian.

Virtually every Americanknows that John WilkesBooth assassinated Abra-ham Lincoln, broke hisankle jumping from the the-ater balcony, and was latercaught while hiding in abarn. That story is told ingreat detail by James L.Swanson in “Manhunt: The12-Day Chase for Lincoln’sKiller.” Lincoln’s assassina-tion turned him into a hero,but even in the north dur-ing his life he had many de-tractors. His election hadof course been controver-sial and had been one of theprecipitating causes of theCivil War.
On April 12, 1865 Gen-eral Robert E. Lee surren-dered his Army of NorthernVirginia to General Grantafter the Battle of Appomat-tox Court House. This dis-
banded the major segmentof the Confederate Army,essentially bringing the warto a close. There were stillareas of the south with com-bat troops, but Lincoln andthe north were ready to cel-ebrate victory. By April 14,Lincoln was feeling enoughrelief from wartime pres-sure to take a carriage ridewith his wife. That eveningthey planned to join friendsand see a play from thepresidential box at Ford’sTheatre. A Presidential ap-pearance was big news inthe theatrical world.
Although Booth was not
a part of the play’s cast,he regularly performed atFord’s Theatre and was in-formed of Lincoln’s plannedarrival for that evening.Booth had been born inBaltimore and was a south-ern sympathizer. Althoughhe had not participated inthe war in any way and hadspent most of the time inNew York, Booth was se-verely disturbed by the Con-federate’s loss. He had hisown plan to make himself ahero.
For several monthsBooth had been talking tomen that had a connectionto the Washington boardinghouse in which he stayed.He assembled a group, main-ly made up of young men,and then developed a planto kill Lincoln and his cabi-net members. Most of them
only had marginal jobs andwere prone to violent acts.When Booth learned that hecould have easy access toLincoln, he decided to puthis plan into action. Booth’sco-conspirators were inef-fective. Only one managedto attack Secretary of State,William Seward, seriouslywounding him.
When Booth began hisescape, he was only able torendezvous with David Her-old. Their escape route andthe people who helped hidethem are the focus of thestory. The lack of good plan-ning and Booth’s injured legcomplicated their escape.

Been following the gold and silvermarket lately? Well if you have ajewelry box, a lock box full of goldor a coffee can full of old coins, youshould be, according to Ohio ValleyRefinery spokesperson John Miller.“The gold and silver markets have notbeen this strong for over 30 years”said Miller. Typically when the U.S.dollar is weak and the economy isflat, gold and silver markets soar.“That’s good news if you are sittingon a few gold necklaces or an oldclass ring” says Miller.
Starting Tuesday at 9am and everyday this week through Saturday, theOhio Valley Refinery is setting up asatellite refinery right here in Lansingat the Courtyard Lansing. Duringtheir 5 day stay, anyone can bringgold, silver or platinum items andturn them in for immediate payment,explains John Miller. “Just abouteverybody has some amount of goldor silver just lying around collectingdust and this week anybody can selltheirs direct to our refinery. Typicallyselling direct to a refinery is reservedfor larger wholesale customers likejewelry stores, pawn shops andlaboratories” says Miller. “We arechanging how business is done,” heexplains “we want to do businesswith everybody so we took ourbusiness to the streets”. “Our teamsvisit various cities around the countryhosting 5 day events and allowingthe general public to take advantageof our services. “The turnout has beenoverwhelming” says Miller. “Usuallyeach day is busier than the previousday. It seems once people come tous and sell something, they are soamazed what an old ring or goldcoin is worth, they go home and startdigging around for more and tellingrelatives, friends and neighbors. It’slike a feeding frenzy by the third day.People line up with everything fromgold jewelry to sterling silver flatwaresets to old coins. I think during thisbad economy everybody can use
extra money, but most people saythey are taking advantage of sellingdirect to our refinery because of thehigher prices we pay”.
During this special event, anyoneis welcome to bring all types of gold,silver and platinum to the refineryand turn it in for instant payment. Thetypes of items they will accept includeall gold jewelry, gold coins, goldounces, dental gold, old coins madebefore 1965 including silver dollars,halves, quarters and dimes, anythingmarked “sterling” including flatwaresets, tea pots, silver bars, silverounces and all industrial preciousmetals.
