Class of ‘71 spirit ELHS grads create an endowment EAST LANSING — Some came from across town, some traveled from the other side of the world. Everyone who attended the 40th reunion of the East Lansing High School Class of 1971 in July renewed old friendships and learned about school system’s financial challenges. Reunion organizers Suzie Courey Scott and Nancy Fortino Bates made sure a tour of the high school was part of the reunion experience. Superintendent Dave Chapin welcomed alums as they arrived for a Saturday morning tour with East Lansing High School Principal John Brandenburg. The relatively recent renovations impressed Class of ’71 “tourists,” and left a few scratching their heads wondering where some landmarks had gone from their time in the building. The class reunion dinner included
an appeal to fund a first of its kind Class of ’71 Endowment for the East Lansing Educational Fund in the amount of $15,000. The commitments started coming in that evening, with Bruce Abbey offering a $5,000 challenge pledge to get things started. The $15,000 goal was reached within 60 days and, at the last home football game of the season, members of the Class presented their $18,050 endowment to the Education Foundation in front of a cheering home crowd. Scott added, “We hope that future ELHS class reunion gatherings will follow the lead of the Class of ’71 and do their part to support the East Lansing Educational Foundation. We have such great memories of our time here and want to make sure the level of educational excellence is maintained.”
the past 20, a Building and Site Sinking Fund tax has provided around $1.1 million to repair and improve Okemos school buildings. Members of the Okemos Citizens Millage Committee are hoping district voters will renew the millage for a second time when they visit the polls on Nov. 8. The .9919 millage – or $99 per $1,000 of state equalized value – provides funds for repairs and upgrades to school facilities, athletic facilities, playground and other structures. For example, a homeowner whose residence has
an taxable value of $100,000 pays $99.19 annually. A vote to renew the tax for another 10 years would not change a homeowner’s tax bill. Projects typicallypaid for using these funds include roof repairs, replacement of windows, new boilers and other upgrades to the heating and cooling system and repaving of parking lots. Over the past 15 years, energy upgrades have helped the schools save $750,000 per year in energy costs.
“I am very happy with what we’ve been able to accomplish upgrading all of our heating equipment,” said Steve Lathrop, Okemos Public Schools director of operations. Schools which have had heating system upgrades have seen their efficiency jump from 70 percent to more than 90 percent, Lathrop said. In addition, those at the system controls have the ability to fine-tune all smaller units on a per-classroom basis. See FUND, Page 3
Challenger in E.L. council race gets mayor’s backing Dawn Parker dlparker@lsj.com
EAST LANSING – Victor Loomis would like to serve beside Donald Power on the East Lansing City Council. The East Lansing mayor and 10-year city council member has strongly endorsed Power, who is challenging the incum-
bents. Power is one of five candidates on the Nov. 8 ballot who are contending for three Loomis seats. Also running are three incumbent council members – Diane Goddeeris, Roger
Peters and Nathan Triplett – and second-time candidate Hans Larsen. The endorsement came in a letter posted Oct. 24 by Power to his Facebook campaign page. “A few people have wondered to me why I am asking my supporters and See RACE, Page 3

Lathrop doesn’t particularly want to think about where the district would be without the use of sinking fund monies. “With the reduced funds we get from the state these days, I don’t know where we would get the money,” he said, noting repairs would have to come out of the ever-shrinking pool that is the general fund. “This thing is essential,” Lathrop added.

Being a good Council member for a city like East Lansing means taking very seriously (both) the short-term and longterm needs of our community in a way that transcends traditional divisions.” Reached by e-mail, Loomis said the letter “speaks for itself” in regard to his decision to endorse outside of his council colleagues. Loomis also noted the letter “is being very well received and embraced.” Other candidates have collected notable endorse-
ments of their own. “(Mayor Loomis) is entitled to his opinion,” Triplett said in a statement. “I’m honored to have broad community support for my reelection, including the endorsements of former East Lansing Mayors Sam Singh, Mark Meadows, Doug Jester and Liz Schweitzer, as well as a number of other community leaders and organizations ...” Power said the endorsement will be touted in his advertisments and will be part of a mailing to all registered voters in the city.

say that our district’s elementary buildings don’t look terrible and have served adequately for several generations, so why replace what isn’t broken? The answer is that our buildings’ basic systems — HVAC, windows, doors, lighting, electrical, plumbing, fire suppression, internal communications and security systems — are aging and frequently original and nearly all are (choose one or more) inefficient, worn, insupportably obsolete or non-existent. “Well, doesn’t it make sense to just upgrade the buildings we have?” In a word, no. We’ll spend too much for too little enduring capability. #Times have changed My homespun example of a building inadequacy that most understand is my critique of the buildings’ inadequate food service
facilities. Our elementary buildings were designed and built as the “walk-able, neighborhood schools” that so many generally favor now — when students walked home for lunch made by mom. That isn’t the way our families and community work anymore, and our school buildings need capabilities that meet current needs. I’m not, as Mr. Weckesser suggests, recommending that we “tear the house down because we want to upgrade the kitchen,” the more apt analogy would be trying to “upgrade” a ‘50s or ‘60s motel with a mini-fridge (but no hotplate!) in the office, into a reasonably modern, mid-priced hotel. It’s just more sensible to start over. “But why close Red Cedar?” Because, despite maximizing our operating
income by taking on School of Choice students and efforts to “keep funding cuts away from the classroom,” the district’s ability to appropriately staff six elementary buildings is problematic and the state of the state’s K-12 funding doesn’t prompt optimism. MSU’s actions that have substantially reduced married/family housing on campus, together with a decade-long decline in school-age children in the Flowerpot and Ivanhoe neighborhoods, make a regrettable choice about a very rich learning environment, a regrettable, but rational, one. So I will vote “Yes” to the February school bond proposal and I urge other school supporters to do so too. Konrad Hittner is a candidate for the East Lansing Board of Education.

ast Lansing School District voters have two important decisions to make about the future of our schools. First, on Tuesday, Nov. 8, voters will choose a new member of the East Lansing School Board. I am a mom to an ELHS graduate, a first-grader and a preschooler. I am a fitness trainer who wants kids to safely walk to school. I have a degree from MSU and – don’t hold this against me – but I used to work in politics. I want neighborhood schools for every kid in the East Lansing school district. And I am unabashedly running as the only candidate who is mom to past, current and future East Lansing students. I want to bring that perspective to the East Lansing School Board.

next February concerns the future of our six elementary school buildings. The East Lansing School Board adopted a proposal in late September asking voters to approve a $53 million comprehensive investment
in our elementary school buildings. This proposal was the result of lengthy and often heated public meetings. Like many of you, I joined with parents in my neighborhood who shared my interest in the future of our schools, and we added our voices to the discussion at many meetings. I was impressed by the
passion of so many parents from every one of East Lansing’s great neighborhoods. We choose to live in East Lansing because of the amazing cultural diversity that exists across the school district and the strong com-
munity support for education. Like all of you, I will only cast one vote on Feb. 28, 2012. I will be voting for what is best for my kids, and you should too. Regardless of the outcome of the bond proposal, we will need

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Hittner most qualified for E.L.School Board Konrad Hittner will be a great addition to the school board for the East Lansing Public Schools. Konrad has been active in school district activities for many years. He has gone above and beyond to educate himself on the challenging issues of school operations and school building design and finance. In addition to personally visiting each East Lansing school building, he has toured facilities in other school districts, he was appointed to and provided many hours of service on the K-8 Realignment Committee this past winter. The legal background of Mr. Hittner has prepared him to thoughtfully listen and constructively discern options and opportunities to keep East Lansing Public Schools great. Please join me in voting to put Konrad Hittner on the East Lansing School Board. Eric Schertzing East Lansing

Autumn Pops features local talent OKEMOS — The annual Autumn
Pops concert, sponsored by the Greater Lansing Chapter of the American Guild of Organists, will put a spotlight several local musicians and groups. The popular music event will be held at The Presbyterian Church of Okemos, which is located at Bennett and Okemos roads on Sunday, Nov. 6 at 3 p.m.
Even though the Organ Guild sponsors this Autumn Pops, it is not an organ recital. It features several talented local musicians, solos and groups, who will perform a blend of pop, classical and jazz on a variety of instruments, including voice and organ. Home baked cookies, with coffee and cider, will be available for your pleasure following the
approximately one hour concert. This event is free and open to the public, however, there will be a free-will offering collected to benefit the chapter’s scholarship fund. Auditions are held each spring for interested organ students of any age. The Greater Lansing Chapter has been privileged to be able to grant scholarships each year for the past 25+ years.

Two seek partial term on Okemos school board Dawn Parker dlparker@lsj.com
OKEMOS — Two candidates will face off Nov. 8 for a two-year spot on the Okemos School Board. James McGillicuddy and Vin Lyon-Callo are each seeking to fill the remaining Andrew Saultz, who stepped down in April because he was moving out of the state. Two other four-year terms will go to incumbent member Melanie Lynn and newcomer Damian Fisher, both of whom are unopposed.
James McGillicuddy McGillicuddy – whose wife, Susan, is the longtime township supervisor – is a Lansing physician with more than 25 years in private practice. He is the proprietor of the Lansing H e r n i a McGillicuddy Center at Mount Hope and Pennsylvania. “My profession allows me to offer some service
to community which has meant so much to me and my children over the last 25 years,” McGillicuddy said. The Lansing native graduated from East Lansing High School and Albion College before completing medical school at the University of Michigan. A move to Cincinnati led to a specialization in vascular and thoracic surgery, and he would eventually specialize in hernia surgery after moving back to Michigan. McGillicuddy views himself as a “passionate” educator. “I’ve been on both sides of the desk ever since high school,” he continued. He has taught at both the University of Cincinnati and at Michigan State University, and now mentors family practice residents in surgical discipline at Sparrow Hospital. “I believe the teacherstudent interface is a key one. You have to protect that,” he said. If elected, McGillicuddy believes he can be of benefit to the board in regard to the district’s ongoing fiscal challenges. “I know it will be an

Lyon-Callo and his wife, Sarah, have two children in Okemos schools – a son in fifth grade and a daughter in second grade. His work schedule has facilitated a lot of volunteering. “I’ve been involved in the schools, and I think that would add a unique perspective,” he said. “I thought that rather than do the easy thing and sit in the audience, it was time to take some responsi-

OKEMOS – Have a trumpet, trombone or cello gathering dust in a closet? If your music-making days are long behind you, two Okemos music teachers know students who could put your instruments to good use. “We have a lot of kids each year who would like to play an instrument, but
who cannot afford one,” 7-8 band director Kevin Culling said. “We’re hoping for donations of instruments people are no longer playing.” Culling and 5-6 band director Nicole Dault have seen an influx of new students this year because of a new requirement that all fifth and sixth-grade students choose either band, orchestra or choir. Music at the fifth-grade
level had been an option, and fifth-grade band is new this year. That’s led to triple the number of beginning band and orchestra students, from 105 last year to more than 300 this fall, coupled with no funds in the district’s budget for new instruments. “We’re finding it a challenge to keep up with the kids we have,” Culling said.
The instruments most sought include flute, clarinet, trumpet, trombone, violin and cello, but the program will accept anything anyone is willing to give. “Even the instruments people think aren’t useful could be of benefit to us,” Culling said. Potential donors shouldn’t worry that their instrument might not be in tip-top shape, as Culling said the school can get

instruments repaired and in working condition much more reasonably than buying new. The program has gotten generous help from the proprietors of Meridian Winds, 2807 Jolly Road. “They have been so supportive when it comes to repairs,” said Culling, noting that the shop often
works on school instruments for a much-reduced cost. More than anything, Culling is passionate about music and wants the ability to continue awakening the same passion in his students. For more information or to help, send an e-mail to Culling at kevin.culling@ okemosschools.net

Haslett playwrite wins first place in theatre contest HASLETT — T.E. Klunzinger of Haslett has won first place in the Community Theatre Association of Michigan Playwriting Contest for his play “A Sale in Boston.” The award was announced at the theater association’s fall convention in Cadillac. “A Sale in Boston” depicts the then-famous 1926 case in which journalist H.L. Mencken, as editor/publisher of The American Mercury Magazine, was arrested in Boston for selling a copy of the magazine which had been declared obscene by the New England Watch & Ward Society headed by Rev. F.L. Chase. This group’s long-standing influence as an arbiter of public morals had given rise to the phrase, “banned in Boston.” This 1926 case had a far-reaching effect on freedom of the press in America, much more than the infamous Scopes trial covered by Mencken in 1925, made famous in the play/movie “Inherit the Wind.” Klunzinger has been a member of the New-Yorkbased Dramatists Guild since 1981 and has been honored with several awards during his career as a composer/playwright. His musical “Tallulah in London” was performed in concert in New York and Los Angeles in 2010/11. He is currently preparing his latest musical “Just Wanna Dance” for a concert performance in Los Angeles later this year.

MERIDIAN TWP. — The campaign to reduce the size of the deer herd in the township began last week with a managed deer hunt from noon to dusk at seven different sites. The township’s board voted to give the deer harvest the go-ahead after a survey showed it was the preferred option. Residents reported damage done to property, and police officials pointed to the rising number of cardeer crashes in the township. Last year 151 car-deer crashes occurred, marking the third year in a row of steady increases. As of mid-August the number of crashes was on pace to exceed the total in 2010, police officials say. Township officials emphasize the managed hunt is not available to the general public. Only qualified, competent and experienced hunters who are familiar with selected safe hunting areas will begin the deer harvest, say township officials. Bow hunting will continue Tues-
days and Thursdays through Dec. 22. Firearm harvesting will only be conducted on the Davis/Foster Preserve from noon to dusk Tuesdays and Thursdays Nov. 15 to Nov. 29. Hunting will not be allowed on Thanksgiving Day, township officials stated in a news release. “For this highly managed pilot program, the township is taking precautionary measures to ensure public safety during the deer harvest,” said Meridian Township Manager Gerald Richards in a prepared statement. There are seven designated Meridian Township owned deer management properties for the deer harvest. Orange signs along the perimeter of the designated hunting properties are displayed stating deer hunting is in process. These township properties are not open to the general public for hunting. A map of these properties can be found on the Township website www.meridian.mi.us. Meridian Township officials want assistance in completing a registration form when a deer is harvested in Meridian Township, either on pri-
37th Annual Mason Christmas Craft Show
vate property or as a participant in the deer management hunt on Township lands. The registration form can be found on the Township website. This information will assist the Township in evaluating the deer management effectiveness. Hunters will be targeting only antlerless deer, as recommended from the Michigan Department of Natural Resources on the most effective method of controlling the deer population. Venison may be processed and donated to food banks, and a number of area processors are offering that service at a discounted rate. While the properties being hunted are not open to the general public, Richards said hunting is being encouraged on appropriate private properties. More than 70 percent of responders to a recent online survey said they favored a managed hunt on townshipowned lands. All but one township property involved in the hunt will be managed through bow hunting. Survey results are available online at www.meridian.mi.us .

20 STRESS FREE PLAYOFFS NOW
E.L. grid star commits to play for Ball State Kelsey Pence kpence@lsj.com
EAST LANSING — East Lansing’s Efe Scott-Emuakpor needed to have a clear mind heading into the playoffs. Figuring out his future was a big part of that. The 6-foot-5, 183-pound senior wide receiver verbally committed to Ball State University this past weekend. “I decided to get things over with and kind of go into the playoffs stress free,” Scott-Emuakpor said. “I feel like now it’s going to be different for me. I can just play and I don’t have to worry about who’s going to be there watching me, or
having good highlights to put on my film.” Scott-Emuakpor finished the regular season with 24 receptions for 346 yards and four touchdowns. “He’s a great kid and I’m elated for him,” East Lansing coach Bill Feraco said. “I think, more than anything, he has become a student of the game. He understands that he can’t just rely on his skills. It’s accumulation of hard work and skill. He’s a team player.” Scott-Emuakpor said he’s hoping to be a big factor for the Cardinals’ offense next year. “I’m pretty excited,” Scott-Emuakpor said. “I visited a couple times. The
campus is really nice and the coaching staff is great. They are having a pretty successful season with players they haven’t recruited at all, so when they start putting recruiting classes together, I mean, the sky’s the limit.” While Ball State was Scott-Emuakpor’s only offer, he said he was looking at several Big Ten schools, including Michigan State, Michigan, Iowa and Wisconsin. “Michigan State wanted me to walk-on, and I told them I wanted to play on scholarship,” he said. “I kinda made (the decision) a while ago. I was in a situation where I had film sent out, and I was waiting
on feedback to many different schools across the Midwest. “I started leaning towards Ball State because they offered me a while ago and they’ve been express-
ing how much they want me every single day. Their recruiting process, I mean there is nothing better than feeling wanted.” Ball State is 5-3 this season and 3-1 in the Mid-
American Conference. The Cardinals are in a three-way tie for second place in the MAC West division with Eastern Michigan and Northern Illinois and trail Toledo by a game.

OKEMOS — In more ways than one, Katie Dudley has much to live up to. Not only is she the star swimmer on an Okemos team that hasn’t lost a league championship in 10 years, but she’s continuing her success in a sport that runs deep in her family roots. “My dad and grandfather swam for the University of Michigan, and my sister plays water polo there,” Dudley said. “I’ve literally grown up and all I’ve ever been doing is swimming. It’s really cool to know your whole family swims. I want to live up to the Dudley name.” Just a sophomore, Dudley has been posting low numbers on stopwatches ever since she stepped on to the high school swimming scene last year. With a little less than a month until the state meet, Dudley has already qualified for the meet in the 200-meter freestyle, the 200-meter individual medley, the
100-meter freestyle, the 500-meter freestyle, the 100-meter breaststroke, the 100-meter butterfly, and the 100-meter backstroke. As a freshman, she was the Division 2 runner-up state champion in the 200-yard free- Katie Dudley style. She also placed fifth in the 100-yard freestyle. It’s not often that high school swimmers get to choose what individual events they want to swim in at a state final, but as a qualifier in every event except the 50-meter freestyle, Dudley said she’s hoping to take a stab at the 200-meter individual medley in addition to the 200-meter freestyle this year. “I really like the 200-free and 200-im,” she said. “Last year I swam the 200-free at the state meet, and I got second place and was beyond excited about that.
It would be cool to say I (won) it as a sophomore. But then this year, my 200-im has really been coming along nicely too.” She’ll have a chance at a couple state titles on Nov. 18 and 19 at the state final. “I guess I just know what I am capable of,” she said. “I knew I wanted to be one of the top swimmers in the state this year whether that’s being state champion, or being second or third. If I work hard, I have a chance to win a state championship. I’m a lot more nervous, but I am a lot more excited too. Despite all of her success on the swim team, Dudley says her passion for water polo trumps any of her individual swimming achievements. Like many on the swim team, Dudley is also on the water-polo team, which won the state championship last year. “I mean, I definitely like water polo a lot more,” she said. “I definitely don’t want to swim in college. In the end, I hope to play water polo in college. I’m defi-

Play-off bound Trojans win CAAC title share Missed extra point gives E.L. the title Kelsey Pence kpence@lsj.com
October 30, 2011
EAST LANSING — It came down to one crucial play — some would say a lucky break — in the fourth quarter that led to East Lansing’s victory in the last regular season game, giving the Trojans a share of the CAAC Blue title. The Trojans posted 20-19 win over Okemos, Oct. 21, thanks to a missed extra point with time running out. Both teams prepared last week for the state football playoffs. Okemos (6-3) traveled to Bay City Western (7-2) last Friday in Division 2, as East Lansing (7-2) hosted St. Johns (7-2) in Division 3. But both teams no doubt had vivid memories of the last game of the year last week. In that game, East Lansing survived what could have been a game-changing error in the fourth quarter when Okemos recovered a fumble at the Trojan 28-yard line. Okemos quarterback Jonny Bolas drove in a 4-yard touchdown run with under two minutes left to put the Chieftains within one of East Lansing, but Dong Kim’s extra point kick went wide left, leaving no time for Okemos to regain posses-

sion. They couldn’t have done it alone though.
Grand Ledge helps Grand Ledge did its share of making sure Holt didn’t win the title outright by defeating the Rams 20-14. “When things rest beyond your control, you don’t really like to count on that,” Trojans coach Bill Feraco said. “You like to count on the things that you can
take care of, that you can control. When we lost to Sexton, we kind of lost some of that control. “There was still a scenario that could play itself out, very very improbable but it could, so you go back and say this is what we have to do and as long as we do what we have to do, and let everything else sort itself out. It turned out in our favor and those types of things don’t happen very often.”
Rafael Segovia de los Santos, MD (October 24, 1923 - October 25, 2011) Rafael Segovia de los Santos, MD of Okemos, MI passed away at his residence on Tuesday October 25, 2011 surrounded by his family. A funeral mass will be celebrated at St. Martha Parish, 1100 West Grand River Avenue Okemos, Michigan 48864 on Saturday, October 29, 2011 at 11:00 a.m. The Rev. Fr. Jonathan Wehrle will officiate. The family will receive friends at the church on Friday 2-4 and 6-8 p.m. and on Saturday 9:30 a.m. until time of the service. A rosary will be prayed on Friday at the church at 7:30 p.m. Dr. de los Santos was born in the Philippines on October 24, 1923, the son of Ceferino & Amparo (Segovia) de los Santos, he was the third son of eleven children. At an early age Rafael knew what he wanted to do, become a doctor. He attended the University of Santo Tomas in Manila, Philippines in 1947 and became a Doctor of Medicine in April of 1952. He received his Pathologist Degree from District of Columbia General Hospital in Washington, D.C. in 1956, Surgery Residency and Fellowship at the State University of New York, Upstate Medical Center, Syracuse, N.Y. 1958-1963, Residency and fellowship in surgical Oncology at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York, New York 1963-1966, Clinical Assistant Professor of Surgery, University of Hawaii Medical School in Honolulu, Hawaii 1972-1974, Professor of Surgery with tenure at Department of Surgery, College of Human Medicine, Michigan State University from 1974-2009, Chief Division of Surgical Oncology Department of Surgery, CHM, MSU from 1977-1983, Associate Chairman, Department of Surgery, CHM, MSU 1986-1990. Dr. de los Santos held numerous positions, belonged to numerous organizations, received many awards, wrote many papers on medicine and was the first in Michigan to use Laser Surgery. His patients were so important to him as well as his work, but his family meant the world to him, especially his grandchildren. He enjoyed watching MSU hockey and taking cruises with his wife, Kathy. Dr. de los Santos married Kathleen in 1980 and were members of St. Martha Parish since it began. Dr. de los Santos is survived by his wife, Kathy, son Brian of San Francisco, CA, son Sean (Debi) Southworth of Marshall, MI and son Bradley (Ann) Southworth of Okemos, MI, his grandchildren: Jack, Noah, William, Lauren, and Caroline. Memorials are sugested to St. Martha Parish or McLaren Hospice. Online condolences may be sent to the family by going to w.watkinsfuneralhomes.com
“We’ve been working so hard since December and it’s been our goal to win the conference championship,” said senior quarterback Alex Carlson. “Just to be a part of that was really special.”
J.R. Lara finished with 79 yards on 14 carries Elijah Hamilton-Wray rushed for 124 yards on 17 carries and scored a touchdown for the Trojans. “I don’t know the last
time we won conference champs,” senior Chris Hagan said. “During half time coach was talking about how we’ve been so close every single time. We just pulled it out.”

between swimming and water polo so they are always on some sort of team together. They are always together; always working together and they are always pushing each other. I think that’s one of the key formulas to our success.” As a team, Okemos is going for its 11th consecutive league title while Haslett is hoping for its first. Both are tied in the
dual portion of the league championship with six wins and one loss. Haslett fell to Grand Ledge early in the season before defeating Okemos, which could make for an exciting league finale at the league championship meet on Nov. 4. Grand Ledge and St. Johns are tied for third
place in the dual meet portion of the season, both with five wins and two losses. If either the Chieftains or the Vikings finish first at the league meet, they will secure the title outright. Grand Ledge’s only hopes at a share of the title will be if the Comets finish first and a team other than Okemos or Haslett finishes second.
