Jared Talaga’s ability to pick up items and open and closed doors became limited after a snow-skiing accident four years ago left him wheelchair-bound.

She has been blind since birth and was paired with several dogs for nearly 10 years each. After one had to be put down due to liver cancer, Denny had to wait for her new dog Macy to be trained. “I was especially aware of what a void was in my life when I didn’t have any dog, and to have her come to me was such a gift,” Denny said. Macy, another yellow Labrador, joined Denny last fall.

Crucial element As a volunteer at Ele’s Place and The Listening Ear, Denny has to trust Macy to guide her to the right rooms and steer her around any obstacles. “I’m a very independent person, but

I can completely depend on this dog,” Denny said. One crucial element of a service dog’s success is the cooperation of the people around them. Some people approach See PAWS, Page 2

HELPING OUT How you can help support service dogs: » Become a foster parent for a service dog. Groups like Leader Dogs for the Blind and Paws with a Cause rely on volunteers to raise foster puppies. » Donate to your local Lions Club, which supports programs for dogs that assist the blind. » If you think your dog might make a good therapy dog, visit Love On A Leash or Therapy Dogs International online to find out more about the certification process.

Keeping other people from treating service dogs like pets can be difficult enough, but the biggest challenge for some handlers can be keeping that same attitude for their relationship. “Probably the hardest thing is not treating him

THINGS TO KNOW What you need to know about service dogs: » Do not approach a service dog to pet it or talk to it until you have asked permission from the handler. » Do not give a service dog commands unless you have spoken with the handler and they have permitted you to do so. » Never offer food to a service dog. They are sometimes on a veterinarian-prescribed diet. » For more information about the definition of service animals and their work, go to www.ada.gov/qasrvc.htm.

like a pet,” Talaga said about Charlie. “It’s really hard to say no to kids, especially because he’s so nice and he likes anyone that will pet him.” Being a service dog isn’t all work and no fun for dogs like Charlie, Macy and Tori, their owners say. The animals derive their pleasure from

helping humans. “Working is fun to him,” Talaga said. “He gets excited when he works, and when he does something right he gets excited.” As for the work the handlers have to put into the relationship? “It’s worth it,” Talaga said.

Nicole Mitchell Quartet

The soulful, open-hearted, raw-yetrefined talent of Dr. E, makes this Columbus, Ohio-based songstress a fast-rising jazz and soul star who shares her resonating soul with her audiences, leaving them with a sense of freedom, connectedness, and inspiration. Dr. E’s eclectic musical influences have evolved into a style hallmarked by warm, bluesy tones, infectious rhythms, fiery fretwork, and caressing vocals soaked in soul. This former East Lansing resident’s vocal range, versatility, and stage presence have been compared to artists such as Stephanie Mills, Patti LaBelle, Ladisi, and Chaka Kahn.

Straight Ahead Straight Ahead, led by jazz performer and instructor Marion Hayden, pours its collective heart out to its audience. This five-member ensemble masterfully mixes a host of musical material with solid vocals. Straight from the heart of Detroit, they

Riverboat taxi Lansing JazzFest, in conjunction with proud sponsor Lansing Metro Marinas, offers river tours on Friday evening for a nominal $1/person fee. On Saturday, park downtown and take the riverboat taxi from the Lansing City Market to the JazzFest site. The taxi is free from 2-8 p.m. and only $1/person from 8-10 p.m. “Community placemaking advocates encourage residents to make the most of the stunning riverfront — but most locals have never taken a trip down the Grand River to know what the riverfront has to offer,“ says festival vendor coordinator Katie Kiter. “This service allows everyone to experience the river. Don’t be afraid to bring all your kids down to enjoy the river, the music and the Kidz Beat area — you can ride in and out Saturday for free.” JazzFest is still accepting volunteers and sponsors.

LANSING — Lansing JazzFest, held Friday, Aug. 5 and Saturday, Aug. 6 at the corner of Turner St. and E. Grand River Ave., announces 2011’s headliners: Nicole Mitchell Quartet, Dr. E, and Straight Ahead.

Nicole Margaret Mitchell, a creative flutist, composer and bandleader, has been named “Top Flutist 2010” by Downbeat Magazine’s Critic’s Polls and also placed first as Downbeat Magazine’s “Rising Star Flutist 2005-2010.” She was awarded “Jazz Flutist of the Year 2010” by the Jazz Journalist Association and “Chicagoan of the Year 2006” by the Chicago Tribune. The founder of the critically acclaimed Black Earth Ensemble and Black Earth Strings, Mitchell’s compositions reach across sound worlds, integrating new ideas with moments in the legacy of jazz, gospel, pop, and African percussion to create a fascinating synthesis of “postmodern jazz.”

Samontae Middlebrook had one eye on the sizzling grill and the other on a tub bulging with water balloons. It was his first time attending the annual Men Making A Difference picnic, but the free barbecue and an impending water balloon fight were enough to earn a thumbs up from the 10-year-old Lansing resident. About 300 people attended the fourth annual Men Making A Difference (M.M.A.D.) picnic July 9 in Sharp Park in Lansing.

contact, language and war. As a child, Avice Benner Cho was made a figure of speech by the Host, strange alien beings that share her home world. In a language unique in its construct and delivery she is a simile, affording her a special place in society and buying her passage to leave Areika. Now she has returned after years of crewing on deep space vessels to find a world of dangerous politics. A dangerous experiment tips an already fragile system out of balance, causing horrific events. Avice is forced to choose between her husband, her society, and the language she can’t speak but is indelibly part of. The attention to and importance of language in this novel is impressive and intriguing. It reminded me of Mary Doria Russell’s “The Sparrow” or Ursula LeGuin’s “Left Hand of Darkness,” but the style is all Mieville.

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 woman, wo and a very large man, all with the same hearing loss. All hearing aids would be 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.

EAST LANSING - Delta Township resident Mike Egan and his trusty van stuffed with tools and bike parts is a familiar sight in East Lansing.

between 20 and 40 on a summer weekend. One of them is Connie Zheng, a recent MSU grad who was getting a bike July 9 for her son Andy, 13, and couldn’t say enough good things about Egan. “Fixing bikes is second nature to Mike and he’s very patient,” said Zheng, who rides a Share-a-Bike bicycle herself. “This (program) really saved our lives.” Egan doesn’t listen very hard to the accolades; he’s too busy fixing the next bike on his battered white bike stand set up next to his van. Other volunteers sometimes come over to see if he has a tool they can borrow and usually he does. “I’ve always been a fledgling mechanic and involved in several bike clubs around town,” said Egan, who works for Hasselbring-

CONNIE ZHENG Share-A-Bike bicycler

Clark. He’s a good listener, too, paying attention to what a “customer” needs and looking through the program’s inventory to find it. On July 9, for instance, Egan took Liz Owczarzak, who has some back issues, through the bikes hanging in one of the red trailers until they found the right one, which he then adjusted to make sure it fit her comfortably. A spontaneous warm handshake was her thank you to Egan. “This bike will be great for riding downtown,” said Owczarzak, an LCC student in the geographical information system program. “It will also be helpful in getting to doctors’ appointments.”

East Lansing resident and GM retiree Ronald Fowler was another volunteer who worked steadily at his own bike stand throughout the morning. So were Ron Zeeb, Dave Mead and Kyle Freund, all from Lansing. Doug Taylor from Holt, who used to be the president of UAW local 602, and his grandson Jonathan Olson, showed up with a trailer full of donated bikes. With lots of willing hands, they were unloaded in a few minutes. Dick Janson, who lives in Perry and worked as a custom software designer for over 20 years, kept the paperwork flowing. Bikes come from everywhere: East Lansing’s Project Pride recycling day,

the police department, the St. Vincent DePaul store in Lansing, landlords who inherit student bikes when their tenants graduate and many, many homeowners. “People know we’re here,” Egan said. The program works simply and easily, just like a well-oiled bike shifts smoothly from gear to gear. Each person who wants a bike must bring a letter from a human services agency, a religious organization or an employer that vouches for their need. It’s a first-come, first served system, with each “customer” assigned a volunteer mechanic. Some are new to the United States and uncomfortable with English, but somehow they, too, find the bikes they need and ride away smiling. Some are very persistent. Cliff Johnson, 66, for instance, rode off on a very nice Schwinn on July 9. His previous Sharea-Bike bicycle had been

“Fixing bikes is second nature to Mike and he’s very patient.This (program) really saved our lives.”

East Lansing resident Ronald Fowler, a retiree from the Grand River GM plant, spends many summer Saturday mornings fixing up bikes for the Share-a-Ride program that provides much needed transportation throughout the Lansing area. Visiting July 9 is his 23-year-old daughter, Sasha, who works at the Oak Park YMCA. MARY JO WHITE/LCN stolen. All bikes are licensed with the East Lansing Police Department and their owners offered a brandnew helmet. On July 9, 7-year-old Zach Rinehart almost got a red bike in his size that

needed quite a bit of work. Searching through the rows of bikes, though, he came upon a shiny silver number that seemed made for him. He got a cool blue helmet, too, and hopefully a safety lesson for the rest of his bike-riding days.
