GREENVILLE — Normally watching a fifth grade student wield a scalpel over a prone body stretched out on a table is a cause for concern.

Yet, at Baldwin Heights Elementary School on Thursday, the practice was encouraged.

Fifth-graders from Baldwin Heights

and Lincoln Heights Elementary schools participated in the Mini Med School program, which introduced students to the world of medicine and surgery. Students participated in four different medical stations throughout Thursday morning, including a classroom session, a simulator room, a prep room and a surgical room.

The highlight of the day was the surgical room. Prior to the Mini Med

School, students created papier mâché mockups of a human torso. They filled the torso with “organs” made up of marshmallows, clay, balloons, jelly beans and other household materials.

Under the direction of surgical staff from Spectrum United Health Hospital, students crowded around six “operating tables” in the gymnasium

Montcalm County creates PACE district

By Elisabeth Waldon Daily News news editor

STANTON — Montcalm County has become the 10th county in Michigan to create a property assessed clean energy (PACE) district.

The Montcalm County Board of Commissioners voted 9-0 Monday to adopt a resolution creating a PACE district.

Andy Levin, the former director of Michigan’s Department of Energy,

Labor & Economic Growth, originally made the proposal to commissioners last December. He is the president of Lean & Green Michigan and managing partner of Andy Levin Energy Levin Partners LLC in Southfield.

Michigan’s Public Act 270 of 2010 allows local units of government to adopt PACE programs and to create

districts to promote the use of renewable energy systems and energy efficiency improvements by owners of certain real property. The act also allows for the financing of such programs through voluntary property assessments, commercial lending and other means.

Any property owner living in a PACE district has the option of using the property tax mechanism to finance energy improvements. The

By Martha that the name of the Higbie person who died has been scratched out so we can’t read it.

It sure looks like a junk scam letter because it asks us to send them $50 and requests some personal information. It also mentions Connor & Smith International Transfer Agency on the letter.

I figured you would want to know about this. I believe this is a scam. A.M., Stanton.

Dear A.M. You are right; there is no inheritance from the “no name” person’s last will and testament.

And we really appreciate it that you dropped off the mailing.

We have to admit we are amused by the mailing piece. It says Stiller & Manson, a trust company, wants you to “trust” the following statement they makes in their mailing: “The departed benefactor who wished to remain anonymous made his fortune in the IT field, primarily hardware and software.

Since he had no next of kin, his purpose was to give a financial shot in the arm to people who have endured life’s hardship.”

Really?

WINFIELD TOWNSHIP — A Coral man lost control of his vehicle and almost lost his life on Thursday night.

Montcalm County Sheriff’s deputies were dispatched to a one-vehicle personal injury crash at 9:38 p.m. at the intersection of West Church Road and North Masters Road in Winfield Township.

Investigation revealed a 1999 Ford F-150 pickup truck, driven by a 51-yearold Coral man, was traveling eastbound on Church Road coming up to the intersection. The driver failed to stop for the stop sign and drove through the intersection, colliding with some trees across the road.

The driver was pinned in the vehicle as the vehicle began to catch on fire.

With the assistance of two passersby, he was able to get out of the vehicle as the fire began to quickly spread. According to Maple Valley Township Fire Department personnel on scene, the vehicle was completely engulfed upon their arrival.

The driver was transported to Spectrum Health Kelsey Hospital in Lakeview by Montcalm County Emergency Services personnel for non-

life threatening facial, chest and leg injuries.

The driver was the sole occupant of the vehicle and was believed to have been wearing his seatbelt at the time of the crash. Alcohol is believed to be a

contributing factor in the crash, which remains under investigation.

Deputies were assisted by the Lakeview Police Department, Montcalm County Emergency Services and the Maple Valley Fire Department.

Med School Continued From Page 1A and participated in the actual surgical procedures medical professionals use.

“It was scary because the patient could get badly injured if you’re not careful,” Lincoln Heights fifth-grader Zachary McMillan said. “It was fun at the same time.”

Surgical procedures included removing infected gall bladders, obstructions in the intestines and cataracts. With more than 60 students crammed into the gymnasium at Baldwin Heights, one would think it would be loud, but it was quite the opposite. Students spoke in hushed whispers as they delicately operated on their patients.

“When I get older I want to be a heart surgeon,” Lincoln Heights fifth-grader Tyler Campbell said. “It was different than I thought it was going to be. You have to take the stuff out very carefully and move stuff around with the pliers.”

Before entering the surgical room, students got ready in the prep room. As they donned scrubs and face masks, they were instructed on proper bedside manner during surgeries.

“The students are so engaged,” Baldwin Heights Principal Mike Walsh said.

“They’re getting so much from the experience which is so important about these projects.”

Another station was a simulator room where Steve Homich, of Grays Bone and Joint Models of Greenville, showed students life-size models of human bones.

Homich also had a thoracotomy simulator on hand, where students could reach in and feel organs in the “torso” of a human being.

“It feels pretty slimy,” said Baldwin Heights fifth-grader Brianna Perkins, while reaching in the thoracotomy simulator. “The heart is right here though.”

Homich brought in an ultra-sound machine complete with a realistic mockup of a human leg. Paige Rowland, the regional cardiovascular supervisor at Spectrum Health Butterworth Hospital and Meijer Heart Center, even gave students a peak at Walsh’s heart through a

machine she also provided for the day.

“I love doing this,” Homich said. “Next, year there will be even more.”

In the classroom station, Lincoln Heights students gave presentations on human anatomy to their fellow students from both schools.

The Mini Med School program is the brainchild of Baldwin Heights fifth grade teacher Mindy Hepinstall. Hepinstall said she came up with the idea four years ago after seeing a similar program on the news at a school in New York. She said the program she based the Mini Med School off of was more of a symposium. She wanted to expand on it.

“I wanted it to be more hands on,” Hepinstall said. “Every year it just gets bigger and better.”

The Michigan Association of School Administrators gave the program a Winners’ Circle Award in January. The award recognizes school programs which achieve results and can be replicated in other districts.

The Mini Med School program not only includes Lincoln Heights and

Baldwin Heights, but also Cedar Crest and Walnut Hills elementary schools. The event was hosted at Walnut Hills on Feb. 13.

“They went into the day kind of anxious and not knowing what to expect,” Walnut Hills fourth and fifth teacher Kim Harding said. “They all got to go do the surgical experience with the doctors and surgeons. They’re always excited about using the actual surgical instruments.”

At the end of the day, each student not only learned about the medical field but had fun in the process.

The collaboration between Spectrum, Greenville Public Schools and the community at large are what made the event possible, which is something Walsh said he is grateful for.

“It’s what makes GreenviIle so special,” he said. “We bring people together. I wanted to, again, thank the hospital for their involvement and their willingness to sacrifice the time of their professionals.” bklosner@staffordgroup.com (616) 548-8292

ty about financial liability to the county.

Levin attended Monday’s meeting to answer commissioners’ questions — again — and put them at ease.

“The county’s just enforcing property tax obligations across the board,” Levin said.

“The county’s putting no taxpayer money into the project. The risk is for the property owner, not the county. If it’s never sold, tough luck for the lender, basically. The county puts no money into this.”

Lean & Green uses

Michigan’s PACE statue to take a market-based approach to energy finance and economic development.

The initiative aims to help commercial, industrial and multi-family property owners finance energy projects, eliminate waste and save money through financing solutions that make energy projects profitable for all parties involved via a growing tax base.

Nine other counties in Michigan have created PACE districts (Eaton, Genessee, Grand Traverse, Huron,

Ingham, Macomb, Saginaw, Washtenaw and Wayne).

Officials from ParkerArntz Heating & Plumbing in Greenville and PK Housing & Management in Okemos have previously expressed their support for creating a PACE district in Montcalm County, saying it would help them make energy efficient improvements at places such as Cambridge Court Apartments in Greenville.

a phishing email that tries to trick you into collecting reward points.

This email version has a subject line similar to “Your Reward Points are Expiring.

Claim Now!” or “Your eBalance Points are Expiring Soon!” The emails use the name of a well-known store.

If you are a shopper at the store, they are counting on the fact that you will want to click to open the message. The email says you have been selected to complete a survey about your recent customer experience. It mentions that you will receive $100 or more in “bonus-points” if you complete the survey.

It sounds easy, but don’t click the link. It could lead to a real survey that also prompts you to purchase spammy products such as diet pills and wrinkle cream.

In some versions, the form is actually a phishing scam that requests banking and credit card information. Finally, the link may also download malware to your computer.

In general, the BBB says it’s best not to click on links that come in unsolicited emails.
