America’s National Parks Shine at Hutchings Elementary National Parks Fair Fifth grade students put on fair for school’s second and third grade classes

America’s 59 national parks were recently showcased at the Hutchings Elementary Fifth Grade National Parks Fair. The fair was the culmination of the fifth grade’s yearlong research project on America’s National Parks. Using typical research methods such as the Internet, library books and encyclopedias, students learned about their selected park. However, the students’ research didn’t stop there, they also corresponded with park rangers via email, letters and even Skype to learn more about their national park. The fifth grade students shared their research with second and third grade students from Hutchings. Sarah Konsdorf did her research project on the Cuyahoga Valley National Park. Kondsdorf was taken by the beauty of the park and its waterfalls, but said that it is probably most famous for having a river that caught fire because it was so polluted. Through his research Bryant Pejakovich learned about the animals, plant life and history of the Everglades National Park. According to Pejakovich the Everglades are home to several endangered species. This is the second year that Mr. Jason DeLand, Hutchings fifth-

grade teacher has had his students research a national park and the first year that all Hutchings fifth graders have participated in the project. According to DeLand, the Sarah Konsdorf goal of the project is to help students learn about research in a fun and interactive way. To help make the National Parks Fair possible the Howell Education Foundation provided a $800 classroom grant to help cover the costs of presentation materials, research materials and other items to help enhance the students’ learning. DeLand came up with the idea for Bryant Pejakovich a national parks themed research project after taking part in the Safari Club International’s American Wilderness Leadership School (AWLS) last year. Founded in 1976 AWLS provides teachers with knowledge of wildlife ecology and science-based conservation that can be shared with their students. DeLand received a scholarship to attend AWLS from the Flint Regional Chapter of the Safari Club International.

Benjamin Harrison 23rd President of the United States 1889 - 1893

Benjamin Harrison was born on August 20, 1833 in North Bend, Ohio. He was the second of 8 children. He was also the grandson of President William Henry Harrison and the great grandson of revolutionary leader and former Virginia governor Benjamin Harrison. His early schooling took place in a one room schoolhouse near his home. After graduating from Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, he took up the study of law in the Cincinnati law office of Storer and Gwynne. Before completing his law studies, he married Caroline Lavinia Scott, who was the daughter of a Presbyterian minister in 1853. During their married life, they had two children, Russell and Mary (known as Mamie). He was admitted to the bar and began practicing law. He joined the Republican Party shortly after it’s formation in 1856. He supported Abraham Lincoln for President. In 1862, he joined the Seventeenth Regiment of the Indiana Volunteers during the Civil War, eventually rising to the rank of Brigadier General. After the war, he ran for Governor of Indiana. He lost that race but he became influential with the new Republican party. In 1880, he was named to the United States Senate by the Indiana State Legislature. Note: Senators were not elected by popular vote until 1913. During this time he championed pensions for Civil War Veterans, high protective tariffs, a modernized Navy and conserva-

tion of Western lands. Harrison won the 1888 Presidential election by carrying the Electoral College. Harrison advocated the conservation of forest reserves and he embarked on an adventurous foreign policy that included U.S. expansion in the Pacific and the building of a canal across Central America. He also supported the landmark Sherman Antitrust Act, the first bill ever to attempt to limit the power of America’s giant corporations. In the area of Civil Rights for African Americans, Harrison endorsed two bills designed to prevent Southern states from denying African Americans the vote, and he appointed the great and eloquent former slave Frederick Douglass as minister to Haiti. On the international front, he convened the first Pan-American Conference in 1889. He negotiated an American protectorate over the Samoan Islands, attempted to annex Hawaii and continued the work of modernizing and expanding the United States Navy. Most importantly, he saw trade as an essential part of the nation’s foreign policy and negotiated a number of important reciprocal trade agreements that set the pattern for American trade policy. In 1892, he lost his bid for re-election for President and during this time, his wife Caroline had passed away. He returned home to Indianapolis after leaving the White House in 1893. After some years, he married again. Her name was Mary Lord. Together, they had a daughter, Elizabeth. He remained active in public life until his death from pneumonia in 1901.

Michigan’s Cherries! Many centuries ago, European and Asian peoples enjoyed eating cherries. They are believed to have come from China around 4000 B.C. Cherries were brought to America by early settlers in the 1600s. Cherry trees, in fact, were part of the gardens of French settlers when they established Detroit. In Michigan, Peter Dougherty, a Presbyterian missionary, planted the first cherry orchard in 1852 in the Grand Traverse Bay area on Old Mission Peninsula. These trees produced well and soon other orchards were planted all over Northern Michigan. Grand Traverse area possesses the conditions that cherries need to grow to their full potential. Orchards there are usually planted on rolling hills and sandy soil where there is water drainage and air flow. The first cherry processing facility was built just south of Traverse City called the Traverse City Canning Company. Soon cherries were being shipped all over the country. Today, Traverse City is known nationally as the “Cherry Capital of the World”. In fact, the National Cherry Festival is held there each year which began in 1924. This year it’s July 2nd thru 9th when the sweet and tart cherries begin to ripen. The five counties around Traverse City produce 40% of the an-

nual tart cherry crop in the United States. Cherries used to be picked by hand, but now a mechanical shaker which looks like an upside down umbrella is used. Today most sweet cherries are still picked by hand. • The major variety of tart cherry grown in the United States is the Montmorency. It has been cultivated in the United States for more than a century because the fruit is excellent for pies, preserves, jellies, juice and other products. • Tart cherries have high levels of antioxidants when compared to other fruits. Some studies show that eating about 20 cherries a day could reduce inflammatory pain and headache pain among many other uses. • The United States produces more than 650 million pounds of tart and sweet cherries. Michigan grows about 75 percent of the U.S. crop of tart cherries and about 20 percent of the U.S. crop of sweet cherries. • It takes about 250 cherries to make a cherry pie. • The most famous sweet cherry variety is the Bing cherry. However, there are more than 1,000 varieties of sweet cherries. Bing cherries are a dark red/burgundy color. There also are light sweet cherry varieties, such as Rainier and Queen Anne. 810-229-2743

I want to be a Hydrogeologist! What is a hydrogeologist? That is a person who studies the ways that ground water (hydro) moves through the soil and rocks of the earth (geology). A hydrogeologist is the person who makes and uses laws to be sure we have clean groundwater supplies. Kind of like doctors because they help people stay healthy. When people become sick from contaminated water, they help find the problem and solve it. Water is an essential part of live on earth and is what people, plants and animals need to survive. It is important that the limited

amount of freshwater we have on earth stays safe to drink and use for the many purposes we have for it in everyday life. Think of the many things we use water for. Hydrogeologists oversee the cleanup of spills and contamination. Contaminants in groundwater move through soil and rock, which can cause people to become sick far from the source of contamination. They are like detectives and help solve contamination problems that are difficult to figure out. Hydrogeologists work with experts who specialize in geology, wastewater, water supplies, waste management, oils, and organizations that know how to clean up pollution or contamination. Hydrogeologists must know a lot about how water works with the earth. They need to understand the relationships between the water cycle, geology, math, physics, chemistry, and soils. To become a hydrogeologist, you will need to graduate from a college or university with courses in hydrogeology and/or biological, chemical, environmental and life sciences. A minimun of 30 geology credits and six hydrogeology credits are usually required.

Learn About Pigs! Pigs, also called hogs or swine, are ungulates which have been domesticated as sources of food, leather and similar products since ancient times. Their long association with humans has led to their considerable representation in cultural settings from paintings to proverbs. They are native to Eurasia. Despite the pigs reputation for excessive eating and another reputation for dirtiness, a lesser known quality is their intelligence. The nearest living relatives of the swine family are the hoofed mammals. A pig has a snout for a nose, small eyes and a small tail which may be curly, kinked or straight. The snout is used to dig into the soil to find food and is a very sensitive sense organ. Pigs have a full set of 44 teeth. The canine teeth, called tusks grow continually and are sharpened by the lowers and uppers rubbing against each other. The pig has a thick body and short legs. There are four toes on each foot. The two large toes in the middle are used for walking. Pigs are omnivores, which means that they consume both plants and animals. Pigs will scavenge and have been known to eat any kind of food, including dead insects, garbage and more. In the wild, they are foraging animals, primarily eating leaves and grasses, roots, fruits and COLOR flowers. ME! Domesticated

pigs are commonly raised as livestock by farmers for meat (called pork), as well as for leather. Their bristly hairs are used for brushes too. Some breeds of pigs, such as the Asian potbellied pig are kept as pets. Pigs do not have functional sweat glands so they cool themselves using water or mud during hot weather. They use mud as a form of sunscreen to protect their skin from sunburn. Mud provides protection from flies and parasites too.

Have you ever heard this? This little pig went to market. This little pig stayed home. This little pig had roast beef. This little pig had none, And this little pig cried wee-wee-wee All the way home. Author Unknown

Eighth Grade Students Receive the Gifts of the Holy Spirit in the Sacrament of Confirmation On Wednesday evening, April 22, Holy Spirit Catholic Church and School had the honor of Bishop Boyea’s presence as he confirmed eighth grade students from our school and parish. In his homily, the Bishop reminded all of us of the importance of showing gentleness in our interactions with each other. He assured the students that this special outpouring of gentleness would be one of the gifts of the Holy Spirit which they received that night and it would help them for the rest of their lives. The Bishop shared a story about how hurtful and ugly jealousy can be and how the gentle healing of choosing to forgive and desire the best for each other does bring out the best in each of us. We are grateful for Bishop Boyea and all of the many ways he is such a gentle shepherd in leading us and helping us stay close to God.

It is May, which means it is Mary’s month.

Students Participate in a Living H i s t o r y Museum

St. Mary Catholic School’s seventh grade class went on their annual BaySail class trip on Wednesday, May 6, 2015. They traveled to Bay City on a charter bus, with the first stop at Delta College Planetarium for a show about the stars and planets. After a picnic lunch in Wenonah Park, they boarded the Appledore IV Schooner for an afternoon of science and sailing activities. On the trip back, they enjoyed a pizza buffet dinner. Many comments from the students were things like “it was fun going on the river and learning really interesting water things” and “when we raised the sail it was awesome!” “This is a great learning experience for the children,” said teacher Mrs. Paula Dzombak. “For some, this is the only time they will be on a schooner of this size. They also get to use concepts learned in the classroom for real life experience.”

Middle School Science Day

Students in the middle school at St. Mary School recently enjoyed a Science Day. Melanie Flaherty, a St. Mary School alumna and a student at Northern Michigan University, presented demonstrations and hands-on science activities to the sixth, seventh and eighth graders. The sixth graders did an earth science activity, “Mining Chocolate”, the seventh graders extracted DNA from broccoli, and the eighth graders did a chemistry experiment, “Exploding Bubbles.” All of the students really enjoyed the activities and saw that science is fun!

Seventh Grade BaySail Trip

On Friday, May 15, 2015, students in grades preschool to eighth grade at St. Mary Catholic School participated in a Living History Museum presentation. “All of the students were very excited about this day because there were so many things happening,” said Principal Veronica Kinsey. The day started with an all school Mass and then the Ribbon and Candle Ceremony for the 7th and 8th graders. The annual Spring Concert took place mid-morning. “Those activities were exciting, but all of the children were very excited to dress up in their character to perform in the Living History Museum later in the day,” said Kinsey. Preschool students brought in a picture of a grandparent and told about them as children. Kindergarten students dressed as community workers while the first grade class put together a video of then and now. The second grade class put on a play of the Burke family coming to America from Ireland during the potato famine. Third graders were American Patriot Symbols and the fourth grade used their state float reports to become a famous person from their state. Students in grades fifth through eighth grade became people from different eras in history. Students became famous characters such as Sitting Bull, Martha Washington, Thomas Edison, Daniel Boone, Mozart, and even Elvis was in the building. “Visitors” to the museum dropped a penny into a jar to start the “display” at which time students would come to life to tell about their famous person. “This is wonderful,” said grandparent Mr. Kinter. “It needs to be longer so that I can see each one.”

That Tastes Sooooo Good!! Everyone has their favorite food they LOVE to eat! Have you ever wondered how you can taste your favorite food? Tasting your food has everything to do with your taste buds! Taste buds are sensory organs found on your tongue. These organs allow you to taste the four basic tastes which are sweet, salty, sour and bitter. If you stick out your tongue and look into the mirror, you will see bumps on it. They are called papillae. Most of these contain taste buds which have a very sensitive microscopic hair called microvilli in them. These tiny hairs send messages to the brain about what you are tasting, so you will know if it is sweet, salty, sour, or bitter. The average person has around 10,000 taste buds in their mouth. They are replaced every two weeks or so. There are two things that reduce the number of taste buds in your mouth. The first one is smoking. Smoking can reduce the amount of taste buds you have. The second reason is age. An older person has reduced working taste buds. As a result, younger people have a stronger sense of taste. Your nose plays an important part in this also. In the upper part of your nose, there are Olfactory Receptors that have special cells which help you smell. These receptors send messages to the brain too. While you’re chewing food, the food releases chemicals that travel up into your nose, triggering the receptors. Together with the taste buds, they send a message to your brain. In this way, you learn the true flavor of the food you are eating. When you have a cold and your nose is stuffy, you will notice that your food doesn’t have much taste because your Olfactory Receptors can’t receive the chemicals from the food!

Try This! You will need: 4 small bowls 1 teaspoon of salt 1 teaspoon of sugar 1 teaspoon of lemon juice 1 teaspoon of vinegar 1 glass of water to rinse out the tastes in your mouth 1 spoon In each bowl, add 1/4 cup of water. In the first bowl, mix in the sugar. In the second bowl, mix in the salt. In the third bowl, mix in the lemon juice and in the fourth bowl, mix in the vinegar. Close your eyes and pinch your nose while having an adult put a small amount of solution in your mouth. See if you can guess what it is. Then unplug your nose and guess again. Rinse out your mouth and repeat this process with the rest of the solutions!
