Better methods of assessing achievement, stronger relationships with kids and making lessons relevant to kids’ daily lives are part of a preliminary plan to improve academics in the Lansing School District. Chief Academic Officer Terri Spencer presented the plan to the school board at a special meeting Monday, July 25. Superintendent T.C. Wallace Jr. said he felt the meeting was productive. “It sets the framework for moving ahead in academic success,” he said. The academic plan is the first step in a process of restructuring the school district that the board and administrators plan to conduct through the fall with a goal of saving money and better serving district families. A final plan could include building closings and consolidations, and a reconfiguration of grades. “As we look at this district and how we are organized, are we organized in the best way to educate children?” asked board President Shirley Rodgers. “As we restructure the district, it

ocally grown fruits and vegetables have arrived on Lansing’s west side, thanks to a farmers market started with help from Ingham County and the state. Baked goods and crafts also are part of the new Westside Farmers Market launched this month at the corner of West Saginaw Street and North Butler Boulevard near the Genesee neighborhood. Open from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. Mondays through Sept. 19, the market was created to improve access to fresh foods in neighborhoods that are not close to grocery stores, said Joy Baldwin, food IF YOU GO systems project » The market coordinator with is open on 4 p.m. to the NorthWest 7 p.m. Mondays in Initiative, a Shanora’s parking lot community at 829 W.

Thirteen vendors agreed to participate, said Carolyn Drake, the market’s manager. “People are actually meeting the farmer instead of just going to the grocery store and seeing what there is,” Drake said. About $8,000 in startup costs was received from the Ingham County Health Department and the Michigan Department of Community Health, Baldwin said. The market is in the parking lot of Shanora’s Wigs & General Merchandise, 829 W. Saginaw St. Parking is available off Butler Boulevard.

Schools seems like this is the time these should be on the table.” According to the plan, the future could include: » A revamped curriculum. That’s necessary, as Michigan joins a nearly nationwide coalition of states in teaching similar material in each grade, known as common core standards. » New ways of making curriculum relevant to kids instead of simply imparting facts. For example, instead of teaching linear equations by rote, a teacher could give students a real-world problem to solve by using linear equations. » Thoughtfully collect and use meaningful data to keep track of how kids are doing and quickly offer them help where they’re struggling, as well as find better methods than the
After months of delays, the Lansing school board on Monday completed its performance evaluation of Superintendent T.C. Wallace Jr. Some board members initially wanted to conduct the evaluation in April, and it was delayed several times, most recently in late June. The issue was among several during a contentious spring for the school board, which also clashed on laying off top administrators and whether Wallace had violated his own contract by signing contracts with those administrators. The evaluation was a last-minute addition to the agenda for Monday’s special board meeting. At Wallace’s request, the board discussed the evaluation in closed session. Board President Shirley Rodgers and Wallace both declined to comment except to say that the board’s public action on the evaluation will take place at the board’s Aug. 4 meeting.
annual statewide tests taken by third- through eighthgraders and 11th graders to assess achievement. » Make sure all students become comfortable to use information technology as a part of their daily lives. » Building better relationships with students to help keep students accountable for academics and their behavior. » Accountability for principals, teachers and
students. The board asked Spencer to work with other administrators over the next month or so to create ways to implement the plan, and to consider recommendations as to the possibility of reconfiguring grades. Spencer told the board she believes that in-classroom improvements are more important in the long run than reconfiguring.

Mason woman admits stealing from union Kevin Grasha
| kgrasha@lsj.com
GRAND RAPIDS — A former administrative assistant for a Lansing-area union has been sentenced to 3½ years in prison and ordered to pay back the more than $400,000 she embezzled. April Franklin, 35, of Mason, has admitted stealing a total of about $371,000 between 2003 and 2009 from an apprenticeship and training fund held by Lansing’s Plumbers and Pipefitters Local 333, officials said. She also admitted pocketing about $40,000 in cash dues that were paid to the union. In a letter to Maloney submitted before her sentence hearing, Monday, July 12, Franklin said she is working two jobs and intends to pay the money back. “The damage I have caused the (union) and the disappointment in myself are the first thoughts when I wake in the morning,” she wrote. “I will, no doubt, spend the rest of my life regretting these actions.” Officials said Franklin issued checks to herself to pay for personal expenses and her monthly credit card bill; she falsified the union’s accounting records to hide the thefts from co-workers and the union’s auditor. According to a news release, U.S. District Judge Paul Maloney noted in handing down the sentence the thefts hurt the union financially, and it was not able to pay certain death benefits to members’ families. Union officials were not available for comment. A telephone number for Franklin has been disconnected.

LANSING — On Friday, Aug. 5, Old Town will be ablaze with music, food, community and culture when the 17th annual Lansing JazzFest takes off. The corner of Turner St. and East Grand River Ave. expects to see over 10,000 music lovers for another free two-day community event. Friday kicks off at 4:30 p.m. with Lansing favorites Jeff Shoup Quartet featuring Tamara Mayers. Known for her multigenre-infused jazz compositions and arrangements, Mayers’ silky resonance keeps crowds singing and dancing. At the same time, celebrate happy hour in the beverage tent (free admission for ages 21+), lasting from 4-6 p.m. Next up is Lisa Smith, a smooth, sultry jazz singer thrice-voted by LSJ readers as “Favorite Jazz Act in Lansing,” followed by the world sounds of Dave Sharp’s Secret Seven featuring Hindustani vocalist Parag Ray and the Celtic jazz of Maeve Gilchrist Trio. At 9 p.m., headliner Dr. E takes the stage. The soul-
ful, open-hearted, raw-yetrefined talent of Dr. E, makes this Columbus, Ohiobased songstress a fast-rising jazz and soul star who shares her resonating soul with her audiences. 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. Closing out the night is The Tyrone Johnson Funk Fusion Group, sharing their jazz/funk/pop/rock fusion. Beyond performances, Friday night, the festival will also offer clinics by Dr. E and Elden Kelly (guitar), children’s activities in the Kidz Beat area, food and craft vendors, and riverboat tours.
Saturday, Aug. 6 The festivities kick off at 1 p.m. with dance performances by Children’s Ballet Theatre and Happendance’s
Community Dance Project on the Michigan Institute of Contemporary Art (MICA) Stage. Music performances start at 2 p.m. with local favorites Lanswingers & LCC Jazz Band, followed by Ray Kamalay’s recreation of 1930s jazz and Peter Nelson Quartet with its operatic vocal accompaniment. Next, Marcus Elliot Quartet will share its saxophone compositions and the world sounds of Elden Kelly & the Global Roots Jazz Collective’s will introduce you to unique instruments the oud and the glissentar. At 7:30 p.m., headliner Nicole Mitchell Quartet takes the stage. 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.” Next up at 9 p.m. is headliner Straight Ahead, led by jazz performer and instructor Marion Hayden. This five-member ensemble masterfully mixes a host of musical material with solid vocals. Straight from the heart of Detroit, they speak volumes through their instruments. “We pull from many different directions within the school of jazz like Latin and swing style, which incorporates a mix of straight jazz and funkier side of jazz,” says Hayden. Closing out the festival is the spine-tingling Latin jazz of Los Gatos, a quintet that sounds like a full-bodied ensemble, rich with interlaced Spanish vocals that keep dancers dancing and spirits soaring. Saturday will also feature music clinics by Jeff Shoup (drums), Nicole
Mitchell, Marion Hayden, Cory Allen (guitar) and Pete Siers on the MICA Stage. Festivalgoers can also experience children’s activities in the Kidz Beat area, food and craft vendors, a beverage tent ($5 admission) and riverboat taxi
service, which provides a means of experiencing the Grand River in a new way. See www.jazzlansing.com or call (517) 371-4600 for more information. — From the Michigan Institute for Contemporary Art

T
he race for two at-large Lansing City Council spots can be summed up as a case of multiple-term incumbents who want to hold onto their seats against a crop of young professionals. ONLINE The Aug. 2 election » A look at will narrow the field of the candidates five by one in advance and where of the November general they stand on election. the issues, All Council terms are www.lsj.com four years. Here’s the breakdown: » Incumbents Derrick Quinney and Carol Wood each have several years of
REVIEW OF RECORDS TURNS UP MINOR OFFENSE As part of our election coverage, the Lansing State Journal reviewed City of Lansing and Ingham County property tax records, criminal and civil court records in Lansing, East Lansing and county courts, a Michigan State Police criminal database and other records for all Lansing City Council candidates in the Aug. 2 primary election. Below are the key findings in the atlarge race. Traffic and parking citations were excluded. »John Krohn was charged with violating a City of Lansing profanity ordinance in the early morning hours of Oct. 18, 2010. He returned home to the area of Cherry and Hillsdale streets near downtown and saw a city police officer writing a ticket for his roommate’s vehicle blocking the sidewalk. Krohn swore at the officer and was arrested. The city attorney’s office later dismissed the charge and refiled as loud or boisterous conduct and hindering or obstructing a police officer. A jury found him guilty of the misdemeanor boisterous conduct charge. Krohn has appealed the conviction to Ingham County Circuit Court, contending his actions were protected speech under the First Amendment. He said the car was not blocking the sidewalk by much and a police officer did not respond to his initial requests for information. “To say that that disturbed the public peace is ridiculous,” he said. “I got upset about it and I lost my temper, and I complained in a way that is more than I usually would.”

Sexton High School and MSU. I am proud to be one of the 400 employees at Emergent BioSolutions here in Lansing working on new ways to protect life every day.

He also helped found Art Alley in the city’s REO Town district. Campaigning at-large differs from being a ward representative in that candidates are accountable to the entire city electorate, not only those who live near their neighborhoods. All active candidates said they chose an at-large bid for that reason. Neuner said she wants to be proactive and comprehensive in policymaking and said she could do that better citywide rather than representing one geographic area. Stewart has worked with businesses across Lansing. Krohn said he wants the city to be attractive to young people so they will
