Hearing set Grand Ledge author brings immigrant story to life on Roxy’s

By ALAN MILLER alanmiller@lsj.com

DELTA TWP. — The Delta Township board has scheduled a public hearing for 6 p.m. Monday, March 28, to consider asking the state Liquor Control Commission to revoke or not renew licenses for a local nightclub. The board is reacting to a number of police incidents and other issues at Roxy’s Night Club at 7711 W. Saginaw Highway, west of Canal Road. In addition to authorizing the hearing, the board also authorized township manager Richard Watkins to negotiate with representatives of Roxy’s to resolve the issues concerning these incidents. “I just want them to comply,” Watkins said. “I am open to an agreement, but it has to be pretty iron clad, or else we are going ahead.” Michael Brown, the attorney representing Roxy’s, said discussions are ongoing, but declined to predict whether a settlement would be reached. “Obviously some incidents have occurred, but we don’t agree that those warrant action against their liquor license,” he said.

Watkins requested the hearing after informing the township board of a significant number of incidents involving law enforcement agencies at the club, including a shooting in the parking lot. “I am concerned about public safety,” Watkins said. Among the incidents, according to reports from the Eaton County Sheriff’s Department, on Sunday morning, Feb. 13 at 12:45 a.m., deputies responded to at fight at Roxy’s. When deputies arrived, they encountered several people fighting in the parking lot and inside the bar. The call for assistance had came from a security guard who had locked herself in a closet and called 9-1-1. When deputies began to break up the fights, the crowds became agitated and assaulted deputies. Six deputies were outnumbered by a crowd of around 100 people. To protect themselves, deputies used chemical spray on some of the aggressors and used a Taser on another individual. They called for assistance, and 30 police officers

GRAND LEDGE - “The Sweetness of Freedom: Stories of Immigrants,” recently selected as a Michigan Notable Book for 2011, is the handiwork of two local authors: Delta Township’s Steve Ostrander and Martha Bloomfield of East Lansing. The book grew out of an exhibit called “Movers and Seekers” the two had put together for the Michigan Historical Museum several years ago when they both worked there. Now retired, Bloomfield handled the center’s community relations; Ostrander is still the museum’s exhibits designer. Bloomfield had never curated before.Ostrander had never gone into the field to collect information and artifacts. Eventually she talked him into traveling together in order to meet people for interviews and they both were bowled over by the hospitality they received. The oral interviews the two conducted with Michigan residents who had emigrated from all over the world became the basis for the exhibit. After it closed, it was clear to both of them that there was a great deal of information that didn’t make it into the exhibit. “We used about 10-percent,” Ostrander said to Bloomfield. “It’s a shame to just put it on a shelf.” She agreed, so the two started to

Martha Bloomfield of East Lansing and Delta Township resident Stephen Ostrander sign copies of their new book, ‘”The Sweetness of Freedom” at Schuler Books & Music. write, finding in the process that partnering was key to the book’s progress. “When one of us would flag, the other would pick it up,” Ostrander said. When it was time to search for a publisher, the co-authors approached the University of Michigan Press, only to find the editors there weren’t interested, even though they thought the book was a good idea. U of M actually suggested the two try somewhat closer to home, and Michigan State, where Ostrander had ob-

tained a bachelor’s in anthropology and Bloomﬁeld’s two sons had gotten degrees, immediately said yes. The rest is history, including a book signing at Schuler Books & Music in Okemos, a reception at the Library of Michigan and “Sweetness of Freedom” being chosen as a Notable Book for 2011, one of 20 out of the more than 200 books submitted.

Now how many have said their hearing aids make some sounds too loud, don’t work well in noise, or they can’t tell if they are really helping them hear at all? Audiologists and dispensers try to make hearing aids function the best they can to give the patient a good outcome. But there were always a lot of difficulties surrounding comfort and understanding of speech. Let’s say you have a small child, an average sized wo woman, and a very large man, all with the same hearing loss. All hearing Julie Pabst aids would be Audiologist programmed the same way, according to the hearing aid manufacturers software. But the ear canals themselves must figure into the process, as well. Without diving into too much physics, ear canal size and shape for the child would be quite small. The woman would be close to the average size ear canals and the man’s ear canals would be quite large and long. The child would receive too much power from the hearing aids, the woman’s fitting would be close, and the man’s hearing aids would seem very quiet. All hearing aid manufacturers base their science off the average ear. But no one has the average ear. Live speech mapping is the latest innovative approach to hearing aid fitting which uses natural speech to show how effective digital hearing THEIR HEARING AIDS?

aids are in helping you to hear speech. With digital speech mapping, an actual speech signal, not tones or hissing sounds, is used to test the hearing aids while inserted in the patient’s ears. This allows for the shape and size of the patient’s ear canals to be included in the fitting process, as well as using the most important signal we hear, speech. For hearing aid fittings to be successful, speech must be appropriately amplified with respect to loudness, clarity, and comfort. Soft speech should be perceived as soft, moderate speech sounds should be perceived as moderate, and loud speech sounds should not reach the patient’s discomfort level. Speech mapping helps to provide a clear “visual” sense of the hearing loss, and the benefits or perhaps the limitations that your current hearing aids offer in relation to actual speech. While wearing hearing aids, a tiny probe microphone is inserted into the ear canal while the hearing aids are running, then a stimulus (voices/ music) is used to measure the output and shows if the hearing aids are amplifying sounds appropriately. The Live Speech Map is displayed on a monitor through easily-understood graphics so that you can actually see sounds that are missing and be presented with a clear visual sense of hearing loss and aided benefits relating to actual speech. It allows you to see graphically just how the aid is performing in a live, real world environment. Once we see what sounds you’re missing, we’ll be able to tune your personal hearing aids until it restores the missing speech patterns and tones. So, not only will you hear the difference a hearing aid makes with your speech, you’ll be able to see the sounds being restored visually as well. A successful hearing aid fitting should be a dynamic, patient-centered

“We have been very aggressive with them since last fall,” McPhail said. In addition to these complaints, the notice cited violations of administrative rules, including failure to pay personal property taxes, failure to maintain its limited liability company in good standing with the State of Michigan, failure to designate a resident agent, and employing a manager who does not possess the qualiﬁcations required under the township’s ordinance. Brown denied any problem with taxes that should result in loss of their license. “It is my understanding that they are current on their taxes. There was no information in the packet that was provided to me to substantiate the claim about the taxes being owed,” Brown said. “If it turns out that there are some taxes owing, then my client will pay them, as they always have.”

Eaton County dental clinic ready to serve By ALAN MILLER alanmiller@lsj.com

EATON CO. — Children on Medicaid and other lowincome people in Eaton County have something to smile about. Eaton County government and a northern Michigan non-proﬁt have teamed up to use business principles to bring quality dental services to low income Eaton County residents. And they expect to make money doing it, without taxpayers being on the hook for the program’s cost. On an evening earlier this year, Eaton County’s new dental clinic, located at 623 Courthouse Drive in Charlotte, threw open its doors to the public to meet the staff and walk through the new facility. The clinic, built by the county but operated by Michigan Community Dental Clinics (MCDC), whose rent payments to the county are expected to cover the bond payments which paid for construction, serves children on Medicaid (including Healthy Kids Dental and MIChild) at no charge, adults on Medicaid with a $3 co-pay and low income uninsured individuals at reduced fees. The Eaton County facility is MCDC’s 18th clinic, with two more scheduled to open later this year, said Dr. Thomas Veryser, MCDC’s Chief Executive Ofﬁcer.

Veryser said MCDC’s business model allows it to operate with no government subsidy and pay competitive salaries by standardization and efﬁciencies through electronic record keeping. “If you look at 10 of these clinics, they all look about the same,” he said. “That is savings, plus we can get a handle on quality.” The clinic expects no shortage of patients. “Many, many, many people in our community cannot afford to see a private dentist,” said Colette Scrimger, Deputy Health Ofﬁcer for the Barry-Eaton District Health Department, which contracts with MCDC to operate the clinic. Dr. Julie Monroy, director of the Eaton County clinic, said the clinic is operating at full capacity, with appointments currently being made through April Monroy, who graduated from the University of Detroit Dental School in 2007, said she left another job to come to this position because: “I believe in this program.” Anyone wishing to obtain dental services should call MCDC toll-free at (877) 313-6232 to register. For low-income uninsured patients, a one-time $50 charge is assessed, which covers plan membership, one oral exam with x-rays, a treatment plan and discounted prices, up to 40 percent, on

Veryser said MCDC is able operates the newly opened Eaton County Dental Services offered at the to cover its expenses by us- Clinic in Charlotte. clinic include oral exams, cleaning, fillings, tooth removal, teeth replacement, emergency treatment and fluoride treatments. MCDC operates on a “social entrepreneur model,” which uses business principles to solve social problems. “As far as I know it’s unique,” said Veryser. “We created a model that allows for a public private partnership that allows a private organization to provide services on behalf of a government agency, and so we are operating dental clinics on behalf of public health departments.”

ing a highly efficient business model which relies on technology. “We operate the system efficiently with a central administration (in Charlevoix) to do all the billing and all the hiring and administer all those functions, and if you do that well you get some economies of scale,” he said. Also, the MCDC relies entirely on electronic records. “It makes for records that you can press a button and they are available,” said Veryser. “You get a tremendous savings in time spent in accumulating records. There is probably a 20 percent effi-

ciency gained in that,” he said. “Without modern technology, we wouldn’t be having this conversation. We couldn’t operate.” Their business model does not rely on volunteers or participants expected to make ﬁnancial sacriﬁces. Professional reimbursement is based on rates paid by major insurers, and a newly minted DDS can earn in excess of $100,000, according to a presentation given to the county Ways and Means Committee by Veryser.

more than 20 years, Veryser taught dentistry at the University of Michigan Dental School and served as Assistant Dean. In 2004, he joined Dental Clinics North, a division of the Health Department of Northwest Michigan, serving as Dental Director. In 2007, the dental operation separated from the health department and reorganized as a non-proﬁt. “We had 10 dental clinics, and wanted to spin it off, because the dental project was getting bigger than the health department,” Veryser said.

in the book are well known locally. Francis (Bus) Spaniola, formerly a state representative from Shiawassee County, for instance, tells the story of his mother, Angeline Spadafore, who came from Italy to Ellis Island at age 9. She was forbidden to eat frosted ﬂakes cereal there because her mother thought it was dried potato peelings. Many years later, Spaniola took his mother to visit Ellis Island, where she told the cereal story, along with several others, to the guide and other members of her tour group. “I sat there and I cried like a baby,” Spaniola said. “Here’s a grown man standing there, so emotionally overwhelmed. It was more than just a story. These are my roots.” Acquaintances of Holt resident Lance Truong, another person proﬁled in the book, will be shocked to read about his hair-raising escape from Vietnam right after the war at age 11, complete with pirate attacks, as he tried to make

his way all alone to a refugee camp in Thailand. A photo 15 years later shows him on a jet ski with friends in the same waters where he almost drowned as a child. “God gave me a second chance to live this life, and I cannot think of a better way than living this life to the fullest and happiest,” Truong told Bloomﬁeld during his interview. “As I walk along the street looking at the big green trees and enjoying the cool breezes of the summer, I can almost taste the sweetness of freedom.” Thus the book’s title. Other local residents proﬁled are Marylou Olivarez Mason, who followed the migrant trail with her family as a child and eventually became the director of the Michigan Spanish Speaking Commission and Iwao Ishino, an MSU professor emeritus in anthropology who was once interned in a camp for Japanese Americans during the Second World War. Especially compelling are

the book’s photos. The truck in which Olivarez Mason’s family traveled and slept as migrants seems huge in one shot, for instance, dwarﬁng the family seated next to it in porch chairs. Another example is the juxtaposition of a photo of Spaniola’s father’s store in Perry with one on the next page of Ku Klux Klan members gathering in Shiawassee County. Klan members eventually burned a cross in front of the store, then vandalized it, smashing showcases that were still being paid for. The clear, direct sentences, many of them taken from the oral interviews, are also compelling. When Spaniola’s dad told him how he ripped a racist badge from a Klansman, for instance, Spaniola knew immediately he would never forget its hateful message. ““It enraged me so much that what was on it is burned into my mind like you would burn something on wood or a carbon granite,” he said. What’s next for the two au-

thors? Ostrander continues with the museum, of course, but it’s clear that his creativity extends far beyond his job and the new book, to what he modestly calls “a lot of hobbies.” For instance, he plays mandolin in an acoustic folk, country and bluegrass band called “Lost Hitchhikers,” who have performed in Delta’s Music in the Park summer series. In his spare time he just happens to play ice hockey. Bloomﬁeld, who is also a self-trained artist and poet, is currently working on a book similar to the one she wrote with Ostrander, but based on interviews with people who have been homeless. She believes “The Sweetness of Freedom” grabs people’s attention because its theme is a universal one, at least in the United States. “Everybody’s got a migration story,” she said, “even if you just moved down the street.”

Are You Poisoning Your Kids?

How many of you have felt uneasy over the amount of “diet” soft drinks your children are consuming each day? If your intuition has given you internal warnings, you are correct. As a chiropractor with a focus in pediatrics, I am very concerned with the increasing use of artificial sweeteners, especially by children. The most widely used of these is ASPARTAME, marketed as “NutraSweet”, “Equal”, and “Spoonful”. At a recent World Environmental Conference, the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) announced that there was an increasing epidemic of Multiple Sclerosis and Systemic Lupus, among others, caused by a then unknown toxin. It was soon discovered that the toxin in question was Aspartame. When the temperature of Aspartame exceeds 86 degrees F., the wood alcohol (methanol) in Aspartame converts to formaldehyde and then to formic acid which then causes metabolic acidosis. If you think this is not a problem, think again. Body temperature hovers around 98.6 degrees, perfect conditions for aspartame to be converted to formaldehyde. This then affects the retina of the eye; not a pleasant side effect. Formaldehyde is grouped in the same drug class as cyanide and arsenic - deadly poisons. It is also used to embalm corpses and as a preservative in vaccines. It has no business being in your child.

For safe and sweet alternatives to aspartame you can try Fructose, Stevia (I am a big fan of this one), Barley Malt, Honey and Dark Molasses, all available at your local health food store. Let’s take care of our kids! I have run this article before but there are two additional things that have really begun to concern me. My first concern is that according to the New England Journal of Medicine, one way to cut down on obesity is to tax sugared soft drinks. They have proposed that a penny per ounce will decrease obesity by approximately 10%. So will this lead to an increased use of artificial sweeteners? My second concern is whatever happened to water!! We are the only animals on the planet that drink anything other than water once weaned from their mother’s breast milk. Remember the things that we put into our bodies do have an effect on a developing nerve system.

Ethan Childs, DC

In the case of Systemic Lupus, it is becoming rampant especially among Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi drinkers. It is triggered by Aspartame. With continued use, it can be life threatening. When kids get off Aspartame, those with Systemic Lupus usually become asymptomatic but the disease cannot be reversed. Those diagnosed with MS (when in reality the disease is methanol toxicity), have noticed that most of their symptoms disappear.

Ledges Chiropractic Center

If your children are suffering from fibromyalgia symptoms, spasms, shooting pains, numbness in the legs, cramping, dizziness, headaches, joint pains, depression, anxiety attacks, slurred speech, blurred vision, or memory loss, they may be suffering from Aspartame Disease.

229 N. Bridge Street • Grand Ledge, MI 48837

This product is being promoted to children as a weight-loss sweetener. Nothing could be further from the truth. Aspartame makes one actually crave carbohydrates. Dr. Roberts, a diabetic specialist and a world expert on aspartame poisoning, stated at a Congressional hearing recently, that the average weight loss was 19 lbs. in people who got off this chemical. Dr. Blaylock, a neurosurgeon, said that it stimulates the brain causing brain damage of varying degrees.

Aspartame changes the brain’s chemistry and has been responsible for many neurological problems such as seizures, manic depression, rage, violence, etc. This methanol toxicity mimics Multiple Sclerosis; thus people were being diagnosed with MS in error.

Why has this chemical not been taken off the market? Well…the manufacturer funds the American Diabetes Association, the American Dietetic Association, Congress, and the Conference of the American College of Physicians. Need I say more?

Sports G.L.Waverly icers wrap up season at banquet

By SCOTT YOSHONIS

syoshonis@lsj.com

The Grand Ledge-Waverly hockey team ended their 2010-11 season with the team’s annual awards banquet on March 6. The Comet-Warriors ﬁnished the season with a 17-7-3 record and a fourth-place ﬁnish in the Capital Area Activities Conference league standings. The team also won all three regular-season tournaments it played in this year, the Andy Hanichen Thanksgiving Classic, the Grand Ledge-Waverly Varsity Hockey Invitational, and the Tri-City Chiefs Invitational Tournament. GL-W head coach Brian Clifford said that he will look back on the year with some fondness. “The kids faced a lot of adversity this year, but came together as a group to have a successful season,” Clifford said. “It was an honor to coach such a bunch of hard working kids.” The Comet-Warriors played at Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor in an outdoor game vs. New Boston Huron that ended in a 1-1 tie on Dec. 7, and then attended the MSU vs. U of M outdoor game as a team on Dec. 12. But it wasn’t all smooth going during the course of the year. The team lost four players in early January due to injury and were missing as many as seven by midJanuary, when the bulk of the CAAC league schedule is played.

GRAND LEDGE - The 2010-2011 Grand Ledge men’s varsity swimming and diving team concluded an extremely successful season recently by placing third at the CAAC Blue Conference Meet and 24th at the Division 2 State Championships in Ypsilanti. At Holt High School for the CAAC Blue meet the Comets had an extremely strong showing led by senior captain Eric Bayley. Bayley claimed first place finishes in both the 200 and 500 Freestyle events.Both of his times qualified Bayley for the Division 2 State Championships. Joining Bayley in the 200 Free Championship Finals was junior Tyler Martin and freshman Tommy Sereseroz who swam to seventh and eighth place respectively. The 200 Individual Medley saw a trio of seniors make the Championship Finals as Chris Cornell, Casey Haggerty and Mike Mandley were able to capture fourth, sixth and eighth place in this pivotal event. The 50 Freestyle brought more great performances as sophmore Evan Ilieff led the Comet sprinters with a fifth place finish. Not to be outdone junior Neil Wilkes came in sixth just 2 10ths of a second behind Ilieff. The diving portion of the meet saw the GL divers claim their best showing since 2007. Freshman Robert Wilson led the way with a seventh place finish and sophomore Cam

G.L. Opera House goes from decay to delight GRAND LEDGE - The Grand Ledge Opera House now sits as the jewel of the city, scene to countless happy events such as weddings and entertainment venues. But it was a diamond in the rough in 1984 when the Mapes family donated its 100-year old former furniture store/warehouse, with its aged white exterior, to the Grand Ledge Area Historical Society. It was rich in history, with an ideal location, set on the Grand River in the center of town. But it needed work, to put it lightly. “It had a great sag in its roof. It looked like a swaybacked horse, absolutely a nightmare,” original board member Terry Smith observed. But visionaries from the Historical Society joined with the Grand Ledge Area Chamber of Commerce in 1987 to form the Grand Ledge Opera House Authority, a 501(c) (3) non-proﬁt corporation with a volunteer Board of Directors. The board consisted of two members from the Chamber, two from the Historical Society, and one atlarge member. All were from a variety of backgrounds, united in a challenging com-

NATIONWIDE COMPANY IN LANSING THIS WEEK PAYING CASH FOR GOLD, SILVER AND COINS. By David Morgan STAFF WRITER Been following the gold and silver market lately? Well if you have a jewelry box, a lock box full of gold or a coffee can full of old coins, you should be, according to Ohio Valley Refinery spokesperson John Miller. “The gold and silver markets have not been this strong for over 30 years” said Miller. Typically when the U.S. dollar is weak and the economy is flat, gold and silver markets soar. “That’s good news if you are sitting on a few gold necklaces or an old class ring” says Miller. Starting Tuesday at 9am and every day this week through Saturday, the Ohio Valley Refinery is setting up a satellite refinery right here in Lansing at the Courtyard Lansing. During their 5 day stay, anyone can bring gold, silver or platinum items and turn them in for immediate payment, explains John Miller. “Just about everybody has some amount of gold or silver just lying around collecting dust and this week anybody can sell theirs direct to our refinery. Typically selling direct to a refinery is reserved for larger wholesale customers like jewelry stores, pawn shops and laboratories” says Miller. “We are changing how business is done,” he explains “we want to do business with everybody so we took our business to the streets”. “Our teams visit various cities around the country hosting 5 day events and allowing the general public to take advantage of our services. “The turnout has been overwhelming” says Miller. “Usually each day is busier than the previous day. It seems once people come to us and sell something, they are so amazed what an old ring or gold coin is worth, they go home and start digging around for more and telling relatives, friends and neighbors. It’s like a feeding frenzy by the third day. People line up with everything from gold jewelry to sterling silver flatware sets to old coins. I think during this bad economy everybody can use

extra money, but most people say they are taking advantage of selling direct to our refinery because of the higher prices we pay”. During this special event, anyone is welcome to bring all types of gold, silver and platinum to the refinery and turn it in for instant payment. The types of items they will accept include all gold jewelry, gold coins, gold ounces, dental gold, old coins made before 1965 including silver dollars, halves, quarters and dimes, anything marked “sterling” including flatware sets, tea pots, silver bars, silver ounces and all industrial precious metals. What should you expect if you go to the event to sell your gold and/or silver? Just gather up all gold, silver and platinum in any form. If you are not sure if it’s gold or silver, bring it in and they will test it for free. When you arrive at the event you will be asked to fill out a simple registration card and will be issued a number. Seating will be available. When your number is called you will be escorted to a table where your items will be examined, tested and sorted. This only takes a few minutes, using their expertise and specialized equipment. Items will be
