Max VanWormer plays with the felines in the Kitty Kingdom at the InghamCounty Animal Control and Shelter, part of the Community-Based Instructionprogram at the high school.

MASON — Sometimeskids have to get out of theclassroom to learn real in-dependence.

That’s the purposebehind the Community-Based Instruction (CBI)program at Mason HighSchool.

Students age 15 up to26 learn traditional lan-guage skills in the class-room.

However, they alsolearn how to vacuum a rugand use an oven.

They too venture outinto the community to get

a taste of the businessworld.

After all, living inde-pendently at home and atwork are important com-ponents of anyone’s life.So, it helps if the schooldistrict and the communi-ty help those with specialneeds who will be faced atsome point with making iton their own.

“Businesses have beenkind enough to open uptheir doors to us,” saidRuth Tatara, a CBI para-professional who workswith the students.

However, they arebased at Mason HighSchool, with the program

funded by Mason PublicSchools.

“We’re in a class of ourown,” Tatara said.

Tatara helps in theclassroom in a uniquesetting divided into twoparts: the classroom andan “apartment.”

The apartment sectionincludes a washer and dry-er, which gives students ahands-on way to learn howto clean their clothes.

In the Home Livingclass, Tatara said, studentslearn how to cook usingand oven and a stove andhow to make a bed.

Mason police report

Between March 22-28, Mason police investi-gated 55 reported incidents involving a varietyof activities.

These are some of those incidents worthnoting.

Suspect gets awayMarch 22: Officers received a suspicious

person call in the 500 block of Hull Road. Thecomplainant reported seeing the suspect runfrom the premises without paying for his mer-chandise. Store personnel reported that theman had been acting in a suspicious mannerand had approached an employee with manyinquiries, but stated the exit alarms did notsound when he left the building. Officerschecked the premises, inside and out, but didnot locate the suspect.

Spitting madMarch 22: A domestic assault was reported

after it occurred in a parking lot in the 500 blockof Hull Road, a location the two parties involveduse for child-custody exchanges. The victim re-ported, supported by his female companion, thatupon seeing the companion sitting in his car, hissoon-to-be ex became vocally threatening, even-tually lunging at the open door of the car to getat the other female.

He stated he barred the door with his armto keep his ex from attacking the companion,after which the ex spit in his right eye andleft. A cellphone picture was produced as ev-idence. The suspect was located and deniedtrying to attack the companion, alleging hersoon-to-be ex was trying to intimidate her dur-ing the exchange. She did admit to the spitting.The report will be sent to the Ingham Countyprosecutor for review of charges.

Misused loan?March 23: The department investigator re-

ceived a larceny-by-false-pretense complaintfrom a victim who had made a loan to a workassociate. The victim reported having a trustingworking relationship with the suspect who hadasked to borrow money to use as a down pay-ment for the purchase of supplies for his part-time business. The victim did loan the money,and shortly after that the suspect left their placeof mutual employment.

Since that time the suspect had stonewalledthe victim about repayment of the loan untilrecently when the victim found the suspecthad used the money to pay fines and costs fora criminal conviction and was now securelylodged in another county’s jail. The investiga-tion remains open.

Fraud allegedMarch 24: A resident reported a credit

card fraud after discovering four unauthorizedcharges on her account statement. The victimstated the card had never been used online andhad never been out of her possession. Three ofthe four charges have been credited back withcomplaints to the companies purchased from,and the fourth will also be if a police report ismade. The investigation remains open.

Code complaintsMarch 24: The code enforcement officer re-

ceived a complaint reporting a hazardous con-dition on Middlebury Lane where dead or dyingtrees were falling into a neighboring property.There was fear that some might fall onto theneighboring property owner’s residence. Thecode enforcement officer has been able to con-tact a representative of the trees’ property ownerand has begun the steps to abate the nuisance.

A junk vehicle complaint was initiated fora residence on Coventry Lane. When the codeenforcement officer went to examine the al-leged nuisance, he found it had already beenpartially abated. Follow-up with the residentof the property is planned.

Opposing sidesMarch 25: The department received a com-

plaint from a purported assault victim who al-leged, while embroiled in an argument at the55th District Court, he was pushed by an oppos-ing attorney. The complaint stated he was theplaintiff in a civil suit and as he was talking tothe defendant’s attorney, that attorney threw hispapers to the floor. The complainant stated hethen picked the papers up and challenged the at-torney on his actions. That was when, the com-plainant claimed, the attorney pushed him inthe shoulder, causing him to loose balance,back stepping, but not falling over. Further in-terviews are pending.

Man in blackMarch 26: An officer responded to a bur-

glary-in-progress complaint on McRoberts. Thecomplainant reported being home alone andhearing the back door open and shut. Thinking itwas his brother, the complainant called out butgot no response, and about then the dog beganto bark. The complainant started back to investi-gate and again heard the back door swing shut.

As he looked out the window; he reportedseeing a male dressed in a black “hoodie” andblack pants jump off the porch and run east-bound. A canine unit picked up a track and fol-lowed it to Oak and Jefferson streets, whereit was lost. Nothing was reported missing andthe matter remains open.

Driver citedMarch 27: An officer patrolling the area of

Kipp and Hull roads noticed two occupied carsin a parking lot, positioned so the occupantscould speak from the driver’s windows. Bothcars were running. When the officer approachedthe vehicles and contacted the occupants, a maleand a female, the evidence was ample — one hadbeen consuming alcohol, and the other, marijua-na.

The marijuana user, however, had a medicalmarijuana card and an amount in her posses-sion below the prescribed amount. The othersubject was under 21 and had a breath-alco-hol level of .10 percent. Both cars were legallyparked and, although running, were not in mo-tion. The officer opted to cite the male with mi-nor in possession by consumption and allowedhim to leave with the female, who showed no

signs of impairment from marijuana use.

Reunion quieted downMarch 27: An officer was dispatched to a

residence where a loud party was alleged to bein progress. The officer arrived and found fourfemales outside the residence who reportedthey had been outdoors smoking during a re-union of former high school chums. They apol-ogized for being too loud and went in for thenight. The matter is closed.

Thud yields messMarch 27: A Lansing St. resident suffered

vandalism after an egg was thrown at and bro-ken against a front window of his home atabout 10:30 p.m. The complaint reported hear-ing a thud outside the residence and, uponlooking out, witnessing two white males walk-ing southbound on the sidewalk, but did notdiscover the mess until the following morn-ing.

Bushes begoneMarch 27: An area landlord reported a theft

after a former tenant — who had been evicted— returned to the property and uprooted andremoved some bushes. The complainant, whenasked who bought and planted the bushes,stated he thought the former tenant had. Theofficer referred the landlord to the civil courtprocess, and the matter is closed.

Cemetery parkingMarch 28: An officer, who was dispatched

to the Maple Grove Cemetery on a report oftwo people having sexual relations in a vehi-cle, found two teenagers kissing. They wereboth fully clothed, with no crime committed.

Shed damagedMarch 28: An officer responded to a report

of an attempted burglary on Temple St. The com-plainant stated that sometime between March19-26 an unknown person(s) attempted to breakinto his shed. No entry was gained, but the shedwas damaged during the attempt. The case re-mains open.

A community effortHowever, they also get out in the world

for a true working experience.At the local Goodwill store, for exam-

ple, the students have helped with inven-tory.

At the Ingham County Animal Controland Shelter on March 29, Brandon Smith,21, and Max VanWormer, 16, spent part ofthe day shredding paper for staff and work-ing in the Kitty Kingdom, where adoptablecats are kept in a comfortable, playful set-ting.

Tatara said eventually the students willbe able to perform the “customer service”themselves, talking with potential adopt-ers.

VanWormer enjoys throwing a table-ten-nis ball at the cats and stroking them gen-tly.

“I like the cats and the dogs over there,”he said, talking about the shelter animals.

Even playing with cats has its challeng-es.

Last trimester (the students rotate du-ties between trimesters), a student withAttention Deficit Syndrome who worked

at the Kitty Kingdom talked too loudly inthe facility.

Tatara’s job was to convince him that ifhe talked more softly, the cats would cometo him.

Smith has spent CBI time at Darrell’sMarket and Hardware, and has even put itin an application to work there.

Smith said working in the communitymakes him feel good about contributing.

“This is new for me,” he said.Tatara said the students receive sti-

pends for their jobs, which are kept in abank account in class.

“Everything is encompassed in the class-room,” she said.

It’s not all work and no play, though.Fridays, Tatara said, are reserved for rec-reation and leisure such as bowling andgoing to a movie.

Even then, the students have to contin-ue being in the “real world.”

“They have to pay their own ticket,” Ta-tara said.

Cathy McCormick, CBI program instruc-tor, said, “It is a really cool program, giv-ing special-needs students lots of hands-onexperience, which research has proven tohelp students retain skills and learn skillsfaster.”

it was discovered about a third of residents have movedfrom one house to another within the community. Thiscame through upgrading, downsizing or another method.

Another third, according to Colburn, was a regional con-tingent who moved to Mason for personal reasons, suchas proximity to family and work. The last third, he said,was from outside the region or state. Again, proximity ofwork and quality of life were reasons for the moves, Col-burn said.

“Many like that we have a community with an identity, ahistoric downtown, great school system and proximity tothe state capital and MSU,” he said.

Leslie down in numbersLeslie was down from 2,044 to 1,851, a drop of about 10

percent.

“It is very unfortunate because I think the census num-bers overstate the decline for the city of Leslie,” City Man-ager Brian Reed said.

The city has added housing units since 2000, and al-though currently there are many vacant homes, Reed saidhe “intuitively” believes a 10-percent drop is too high.

“At this point,” Reed said, “this will affect how muchmoney we get from different revenue streams that use cen-sus data in order to distribute money.

“We need every bit of help that we can right now.”Reed said staff must analyze the data further to deter-

mine how it will affect the city.


Census: City of Mason up 15 percent in latest count

partments.Howe said he witnessed the five firefighters — two of

them from the Leslie Fire Department — fall through thepatio-type roof atop the building’s first floor after the firebroke out at about 7 a.m.

The Lansing Technical Team, a rescue unit made of theLansing, East Lansing, Meridian Township and Delta Town-ship fire departments, was dispatched to help extricate thefirefighters from the rubble.

But Weber said firefighters at the scene were able to gettheir colleagues out with equipment already there.

Howe said there was a blazing fire in a second story

apartment when he arrived at the scene. Several area firedepartments helped battle the blaze until they brought itunder control.

Howe said the two-story brick building is a total lossand will have to be torn down.

He added the cause of the fire is unclear and is underinvestigation.

MASON — Come Thurs-day, April 7, Glenn Oesterlewill be one of the few peopleon the planet to mark a cer-tain milestone: a 100th birth-day.

Friends are invited as

well. “We got all these cup-cakes,” Pam, his daughter-in-law, said. “We’re trying tofigure out the colors now.”

Glenn’s son, Charles, saidhis dad was an area farmerplus kept a real estate officein addition to performingappraisals. Pam said Glenneven kept up with technolo-gy, learning how to use com-puters in the 1980s for hiswork. Glenn probably doesn’tsurf the Web much now. Infact, when asked what helikes to do, he answered, “Sithere,” referring to his favor-ite chair brought from hisformer home.

Also decorating his tidyliving space at Green Acresare paintings by his latewife, Luceil, to whom hewas married for 75 years. A

ably will show up April 9 tospend time with Glenn forhis personal centennial, eventhough his 100th birthdaydoesn’t appear to enter hismind much. “Never thoughtmuch about it,” he said.

However, Pam pointedout, “And now we’re makingsuch a big deal of it.”

April 10-16 is National Library Week! Introduced in1958, National Library Week is an annual celebration ofthe contributions of libraries and librarians, sponsored bythe American Library Asso-ciation and libraries acrossthe country.

All types of libraries par-ticipate — public, school,academic and specialty.

That’s because librariesare places for new be-ginnings, whether you arelearning to read, getting yourfirst library card, learningnew computer skills, looking for a job, planning a trip orexploring a place that exists only in the world of imagina-

tion. The Dansville Library will celebrate National LibraryWeek with two very special events. Along with the rest ofthe Capital Area District Library (CADL), we are participat-ing in a week-long event called Food for Fines.

Starting on April 10, patrons may bring nonperishable,packaged food items to their local CADL branch and re-ceive one dollar off their current overdue fines for eachitem donated, up to five items.

The items must be brought to the desk and only duringopen hours.

Donated goods will go to local food banks, helping Ing-ham County residents in need.

The last day to participate is Saturday, April 16. Find de-tails at your library or cadl.org/food.

The second component of our Library Week celebrationis a program called Extreme Couponing.

These days it seems that everyone is looking for cre-ative ways to save money. Come in at 6 p.m. Monday, April11 to hear from an expert about people who have takentheir food and household supply budget from over $500 toaround $100 per month.

Registration is required for this program, which is al-ready garnering a lot of interest.

AURELIUS TWP. —Learning the fine points offine arts can begin with pri-mary colors.

Making color wheels, Sty-rofoam prints, masks andmaracas — and learningabout mosaics, foil relief andpaper weaving, among othertopics — were the focus ofmany stations visited by stu-dents at North Aurelius El-ementary School during theMarch 25 Enrichment Day.

“We just pick a differenttheme every year,” PrincipalGina Stanley said, “to givethe kids a fun thing to do.”

Fine arts was this year’stheme.

Indeed, the day was pop-ular among the kids, givingthem a break from tradition-al subject matter.

For example, when first-grader Ashton Bonner wasasked his favorite part ofmaking a color wheel, hesaid, “Mixing this,” andpointed to several piles ofedible frosting in primarycolors used to make newcolors.

Reading teacher KristinGrattan helped at the colorwheel session in which col-orful squares were placed on

a white paper with a blacksquare, requiring the young-sters to put the colors in theright order.

They also mixed frostingin a wheel shape as anotherpart of this activity.

“To see the way theymake it with frosting is real-ly fun,” Grattan said.

A little discipline also hadto be mixed into the ac-tivity as Grattan asked thestudents what senses (sight,smell) they use with their

lands on their laps.“You can’t touch, though,

can you?” Grattan noted.Students were to visit

other stations, whose titlesincluded, “Pointillism,”“Movement” and “Dulci-mers.”

The day was to end withan afternoon assembly,“Rich Eddy’s Rocking Old-ies.”

Grattan said, “It’s sucha cool, wonderful way tolearn.”

MASON — Bruce Barbour, execu-tive director of curriculum for MasonPublic Schools, said he was pleasedwith the recent results on the Michi-gan Educational Assessment ProgramMEAP) test.

“Congratulations are in order forGina Stanley, principal of North Au-relius Elementary, and her staff andstudents where 100 percent of thebuilding’s third- and fourth-graderswere deemed proficient on the math-ematics portion of the assessment,”Barbour said.

Also, 75 percent of Steele St. Ele-mentary’s fourth-grade students wereproficient on the newly reinstated

writing assessment compared to thestate average of only 47 percent.

Steele Principal Kathy Dean attrib-uted the students’ success to the im-plementation by her staff of the LucyCalkins writing program, which hasbeen taught to Steele’s third-graderslonger than at any other of Mason’s el-ementary buildings.

Mason plans to launch this pro-gram district-wide in grades 3-6 nextfall.

Other highlights of Mason’s re-sults:

• Fourth-, fifth- and seventh-gradestudents scored higher than last yearin both reading and math.

• Sixth- and eighth-grade students’reading scores were at about the samelevels as last year, but students aver-aged a three-year high in social studies(sixth), science (eighth) and math.

• The percent of Mason studentsdeemed proficient was higher thanboth the state and Ingham County av-erages in 17 of the 18 areas of as-sessment on the 2010 MEAP, withseventh-grade writing being the ex-ception. A total of 43 percent of sev-enth-graders were proficient on thewriting portion, which matched thecounty average while the state aver-age was 48 percent, Barbour said.

the rest of the team has been great to workwith thus far.”

The Lady Bulldogs are the defendingleague champions, and Jones believes theyhave every chance to repeat as top ‘Dogs inthe CAAC Red.

“We have at least some strength in ev-ery event, from distance to sprints to field

events,” he said. “It’s possibly my largestteam ever at 43 girls, with a senior groupthat has compiled a 16-2 dual meet recordover the last three years. Our toughest test,however, is right after spring break, whenwe head to Waverly, so our chances at a re-peat may be determined early in the sea-son.”

That meet at Waverly, which also in-cludes Sexton, will take place on April 12.

MASON — Mason beganwhat could be a special girlssoccer season the right way,with a 6-0 home win overCharlotte on March 28.

Abby Meirndorf and KaliBarry each scored twice forthe Bulldogs and Dani Mc-Neilly and Jordan Young hadone each in a game that couldhave been decided soonervia mercy rule but for somerusty finishing.

Mason forced 17 savesfrom the Charlotte keeper,including one on a penaltykick in the second half.

Mason head coach Chris-tie Hursey said that her teamplayed better than theyscored.

“We scored some goalsbut we obviously have towork on that,” Hursey said.“Our transition, our passingand our connecting with eachother was really well playedtoday.” The Bulldogs startedquickly, as McNeilly got theopening goal of the seasonless than three minutes intoit, curling a 20-yard blast into

the upper corner to give Ma-son a 1-0 lead.

Barry scored the first ofher two goals four minuteslater, running onto a throughball from McNeilly and slot-ting it home from 10 yardsout to make the score 2-0with 33:27 left in the firsthalf. Barry was the provideron Mason’s third goal, tak-ing yet another through ball,this one from Brooke Dippel,and tapping it to Young, whoblasted it home for her firstcareer varsity goal with 19:41left in the half.

Meirndorf made it 4-0 justbefore halftime, curling ashot from near the left-wingcorner of the penalty areainto the upper corner of thefar post with 22.2 secondsleft on the clock.

Mason’s fifth goal came3:20 into the second half,when Meirndorf scored hersecond by putting a cornerkick into the upper corner ofthe par post, the classic “Go-lazo Olimpico” making thescore 5-0.

Young then returned thefavor from her first-half goal,stealing a Charlotte goal kick

and slotting a perfect passto Barry, whose shot wentthrough the Oriole keeper’shands and made the score6-0.

Emily Bartlett and AmberDenomme combined for theshutout in goal for the Bull-dogs, but both were largelyspectators in the game. Char-lotte had its one and onlyshot on goal with 6:50 left inthe game, a free kick from30 yards out that Denommesaved easily.

Hursey said that it was agood game in which to tweakthe tactics.

“We have some formationthings we needed to look atand work through, and seewhere the players did theirbest,” she said. “In the earlygames you’re just trying toget on the same page sothat you can start improvingthroughout the year.”
