Par ent s gro up wan ts to kee p pro pos al alive. BY ANNETTE KINGSBURY Clarkston News Editor

The administration of Clarkston schools recommended unanimously Monday night that the board of education reject a proposal to create a varsity hockey team. that would be funded by parents. With a large number{)fhockey supporters in the audience at the board's regular meeting, superintendent Gary Haner explained that the administration has several major problems with the proposal, which was brought forward a month ago by parents who said they would pay for it out of their own pockets. The objections include the guarantee of future funding, as well as gender equity laws that would require the district to add another girls sport at the same time. Currently thedistrictis considering adding girls golf, and contemplates swimming becoming a . varsity sport with the opening of the new high school. In addition, Haner explained that the district has a process for adding new items to its program. Currently there is a list.of.proposed additions totalling $1 million, lie sllid, and it's unlikely hockey would supersede those items, which include adding counselors at the middle schools, among other things. Coincidentally, a parent requested Monday night that an additional counselor be added at Sashabaw Middle School, where caseloads are over 450 students per counselor. Haner said the recommendation to deny hockey was not a move against hockey, but against adding another sport. The hockey parents were vocal in their unhappiness.

Train ignites dry fields Last week's fire along the Grand·Trunk Western Railroad line in southern Independence Township and OIl into Springfield Township, Holly and Fenton was

probably caused by spades flying from an overheated wheel Independence fire chief Gar Wilson said Monday such a problem is not uncommon and has caused fires before along the same stretch of tracks. But this time, conditions were dry enough that fires were set by the spades along a 100mile stretch. The Independence fire department was dispatched to the fire, north of White Lake Rd., at 8:36 p.m. April 11 and stayed at it until aroond 1 a.m. "We worked a line of fire all the way from Andersonville and Clement to Big Lake Rd. in Davisburg," said engineer Keith Bailey. "We put the truck on the track. and worked our way back.." Both Bailey and Wilson suggested that since the railroad no longer uses a caboose at the end ofthe train. the crew doesn't have as good of a chance of noticing such fires. ''That used to be one thiI'lgtb! caboose guy would do," Wtlson said "Since then they've done away with the caboose." Gloria Combe, a spokesperson for Grand Trunk., said Monday shedidn 't believe the cause ofthe fire had officially been determined and that the railroad would leave the investigating up to local fire officials. ''1bese people are tb! experts," she said. "We will WOJk with fire officials in the area. " Wilson said he generally bills the railroad for his department's expenses in fighting such fires.

School weapons policy to get tougher BY ANNETIE KINGSBURY Clarkston News Editor Acting on an earlier promise, the Clarkston board of education heard the first reading of a proposed revamped weapons policy it hopes will make the schools a "weapons free" zone. The revisions were initiated after concerns were raised in several expUlsion hearings last year. A recent state law requires expUlsion for certain weapons offenses, but the board was uncomfortable with the idea it had to determine a student's intent in bringing the weapon to school. The new policy strives to make that clearer while going beyond the minimum requirements of the state law. Under state law, possession of a knife with less than a three-inch blade requires the board to assess intent. The new policy will only give discretion as to whether such a knife is used in a threatening manner. If it is, the student will be expelled. If it isn't, there is leeway for a suspension up to 10 days. New language has also been added that will mandate expUlsion for possession, use or threatening use of explosive devices, including stink bombs and smoke bombs. Such devices are not uncommon at the high school. A firearm or weapon is now defined as "Any device or instrument capable of inflicting bodily injury." The new policy states that parents are to be no~ified if their child is found to be in possession of any object school personnel interpret as a weapon. Separate policy items have been included that apply to staff and visitors while on school grounds. However some parts of the policy, such as that ~overing pocket knives, apply to students only, superIlltendent Gary Haner said.

Staff wiil be notified of the changes once they become effective and will be required to sign a statement that they have read the policy. The policy will become effective after a second reading, which will be held at an upcoming meeting. "What we're trying to do is establish zero tolerance, not just for students but for anybody that walks on school property," said trustee Barry Bomier. "I think these are extremely powerful policies."

SMS student expelled; drugs, gang activity cited A Sashabaw Middle School student was expelled pennanently from school by tb! board ofeducation Monday night The student, whose age and grade were not released and whose name is being withheld because he is a minor and has not been charged with any crime, was expelled for violating two sections of the district's code of conduct Those sections have to do with gang insignia or activity and drugs. According to records on file with the Oakland County Sheriff's Independence substation, the department first had contact with the student last October, when he was found to be in possession of marijuana at school. Then in March, school administrators learned he had been drawing gang insignia. A further search of his lock.er turned up more marijuana. Charges are pending against the boy in probate court, according to Lt Doug Hummel. . The vote to expel the student was unanimous. He can reapply for admission in one year, but deputy superintendent Mike LaBay said, "He won't be 1;>ack.. .. He added that the boy is currently in rehab. No mention was made of what other educational alternatives will be available for the boy.

Board to tackle issues in $41 million budget BY ANNETTE KINGSBURY

Clarkston News Editor The board of educationrectived a 91-page budget document Monday night, then asked for more. While praising new Director of BUsiness Craig Kabler's work, which includes five-year budget forecasting, the board said it would lilqe more in-depth discussion on a number of philosophical issues as it decides ho~ next year's money will be spent. They include: eSpecial education: projected needs versus expected county, state and federal funding. This has been an area of constant growth in Clarkston due to the excellent reputation of the program as well as general ~pulation growth. • Technology: What is it, bow 'should it be implemented. at all levels and should there be a schedule estabUshedfor repairand replacement costs. eEmployeeretirementcostprojections:Loca1 districts are now totally responsible for funding this item. e Fund equity: How much savings should the district .keep on hand. e Additional costs expected to operate the new high school. Cost savings realized by the use of e Universal Planning Time for teachers and how the savings are being used. e Should money sent to each building for supplies, etc. continue to be based on a per pupil . allotment, or is there a, better way.· . .' _ eHowtoaddressthegapinfacilitiesthatwill continue to grow until the new high school opens. e What program improvements have been requested by the staff. In making his presentation, Kabler acknowl-

will begin to be tackled as soon as next Monday night. The board already had a meeting scheduled o~ the superintendent search process, so the starting time has been moved up to 5 p.m. to address the issues related to curriculum. After that the board will likely . address one issue on the list at each meeting with the hopes of adopting a final budget at its regular June meeting. "This is a great start," trustee Barry Bomier said. Treasurer Bill McGregor agreed. "I think it's because of this (budget) package that created this environment to let us get to specifics," he said. ''This is the type of information we've been asking for the last few years,"said president Bill Craig. .

edged that though the "budget is detailed, it is by no means a final document. "I want to use this as a·springboard so between now and the end of the year when we present this to you for final approval the board. will have some opportunity for discussion," he said. Basically, his report contained good news, with a few caveats regarding the uncertainty of funding, which is now dependent on the state's economy rather than local property values. . "I'm nolinto painting gloomy pictures but I want to paint a realistic picture," he said. • Any change in the state's per pupil grant throws off all the projections. "A $20 raise in there somewhere and you solve a lot of problems," he said. The specific concerns raised by board members

Woloson enters treasurer's race With vast experience in investments and banking, Henry Woloson, 44, has entered the race to unseat incumbent Independence TownShip Treasurer John Lutz. Woloson is an attorney and president ofSecurity Financial Management, Inc. in Sterling Heights. He joins a field with two other challengers including former school board member Kurt Karlstrom and current Oarkston High School social studies teacher Jim Wenger. Woloson, a Republican, said he is running for treasurer because his financial background qualifies him for the job. "In over 10 years as an investment advisor I have never been involved with the sale of tbe type of speculative investments which resulted in tbeportfolio losses the township has incurred in recent years," said Woloson, a mem~er of "~he township'S parks and

recreation advisory board. "I would also stress investing, whenever possible, with banks an~ investment firms which are located within Independence Township." Woloson, who has a wife and two children, has also led the effort to create the much-pUblicized Greater Oakland Community Foundation, whichplans to operate endowment programs to support various local groups and organizations. ''This is an example of the type of program I woudllike to initiate as treasurer" he said. He said such foundations can benefit the entire community, including local parks, youth activities and charitable groups. Karlstrom, Wenger and Woloson will cballenge Lutz in the August 6 primary because all have filed as Republicans. No Democratic candidates have announced.

In Focus by Annette Kingsbury

Whose habitat:· is it anyway? The first sure sign of spring around my house is when my cat, Boo, resumes hunting big time. When I'm afraid to open the front door when I get home at night for fear of the carnage that may await, I know spring has finally returned, no matter what the weatherman says. I live in an area where close encounters with nature are the rule, not the exception. Ea~h spring we are greeted by a pair of ducks who come waddling up the driveway on their way back to the creek.Presumably they nest back there and go ~or daily.~al~. But the return of 1ipri~g's ammal activIty IS not greeted With resounding huzzahs by everyone. !hose who live on lakes where Canada geese are a nUIsance would prefer goose-free solitude. And those who've done battle with gypsy moths surely dread ,the return of that pest. But sometimes 1 wonder how much we-the supposedly superior spec~es when it comes to brainpower-use the little grey cells, as Hercule Poi rot would say. Does it ever occur to us that we weren't here first? That when we encroach upon the natur.al habitat of wildlife, or (worse) make that habitat even more inviting, that a conflict is bound to arise? 1remember Ii couple of years ago driving down a road where development was just beginning. Trees were being cut down on both sides of the road, and the pavement wore the consequences--road kill, lots of it. . And take the gypsy moth (please). How many people realize, as we reported last year, that. the common bacterial control also controls all butterfhes? You want to kill one lepidoptera, you've got to kill them all. ' Last week 1 spoke to a Waterford Township man (who shares residence on Lake Oakland with some Independence, Township folks) who got re~lly ornery,(his word) with me when I called ~o question the Canada goose round-up he has requested from the DNR., . "Now if we could just do something about the seagulls," he mused at one point. Excuse me? What has a seagull ever done to you? So they like the lakeshore,just as humans do. So ' occasionally bathers get an unwanted gift from a flyby. Di~ anypne ever hear of peaceful co-existence? , How long will it be before our di~pleasure turns tp songbirds? If you've ever kept a bi!dfe~er n~ar your house, you know birds are notneahil theIr habits. They make.& mess. But we enjoy watching them, so we tolerate it. The irony is that Canada geese are protected by a,l1ligratorybirdtreaty ~tW~en the US. and Canada, yet we are allowed t~btintthem. No one has been able to explain that contradiction. . . For me, a better alternative to goose overpopulation would be egg shaking, which I understand is currently illegal. Where's the logic? We can't abort them before they're born, but we can round them up when they're infants and kill them. Gpvemment logic at work, I guess.

Dark side of BT Dear Editor, . I have submitted information. to you before on the negative effects of Bacillus Thuringiensis (gypsy moth aerial spraying). Enclosed find a very good article about the subject. ' I think property owners deserve the right to kno~ the truth about the supposedly harmless-to-the-envlronment BT. Also, I think we need to do all we can (tree banding, no lawn pesticide toencou!age ben.efi- . cial insects and mammals) to prevent aenal,spraymg. What I really resent is the BT promotional literature that is sent out which minimizes the effects of BT and is almost an advertisement for the use of the bacteria. It has not proven that effective. and has a dark , side. I think people deserve enough information to make an intelligent, well-thought-out choice, not an easy or fearful decision to choose a quick-fix solution. . If you need more information 1 certainly have it. 'You do a great service to the public when you make them aware of consequences. Best Wishes Margaret Cobane

an important continuation. . . . Last week my family and I had the pnvtlege of attending the Easter program of the Clarkston Free Methodist Church on Maybee Road.

We wish to thank the musical, drama and techn~­ cal staff, along with director MarkThompson, for theIr combined hard efforts. The result was an awesome, exciting and jubilant presentation. . This very special program is a wonderful'contnbution to the community. I urge everyone to take advantage of what has become The Annual Event of the Easter season. , This year's program had even greater significance because my husband, Steve, and I were priv~leged.to play a small part in the perfo~ance. Working WIth these spiritually sincere and lovmg people ~d he.aring the gospel message over and over agam dunng rehearsals and the six presentations had a profound impact on us. The wo'td one of the songs the choir sang, "I have seen Jesus an 'll never be the same again," express our feelings. saw Jesus not. ~n1y in the message, but in the dedication of the pa~Clpants who worked diligently despite obstacles of Illness, dea~h, personal problems and disapp~intment.

And I, like my kids, had to be cool. You didn't want your parents to interfere with your fashion' or ypur attitude. YesteIday a teenage driver passed me and sailed into, the lane ahead. I noticed a sticker on his back . window that read, "Whatever." That's the word that best describes today's Generation X, I've been told. You could interpret that message a lot of different ways: anything goes, I doo't care, you do your thing, I'll do mine, etc. I remembered a chapter in an Enna Bombeck book that dealt with that issue very well. Her daughter retrieved the "raggyunderwear" Bombeck had thrown in the trash, saying "everyone" was wearing shredded skimpies to school. It didn't matter that they didn't show, the factwas she felt that her mother was messing with a trend, putting hernurturing nose where it didn't belong. That's why I have tried to restrain myself from .interfering with my children's fashion statements. I guess dressing the way they feel they have to, whether it's to belong'orto differ, is a part of growing up. You just hope they don't go to their first job interview in dredlocks.

As a mother, I've gone through the fashioo

gamut with my kids. I've endured crimping irons that could bald a daughter, heavy plastic chaIm bracelets that threatened to make her into a hunchback and jeans so tight I swore I'd never be a grandm~r. She was a fashion plate even before she knew it. As a trendy toddler she not only wore the Oshkosh (Begosh!) overalls. She had fancy little Cookie Moosters and Bmies embroidered on them that tOOt up all those nights I could have spent at the spa. Now, thank. God, she's almost ready to graduate frool high school and looks1ike a normal teenager. I have to be careful when I say that, because-let's face it - what's a normal-looking teenager? Is it the guys who wear their baseball caps backwards? I always say it knocks off about 25 IQ points when they do. , Maybe it's the baggy pants, shirts, skateboards in hand as they lumber(with backwards baseball caps, of course) down the road. In the movie "Oueless" Alicia Silverstone says something like,"And we girls are supposed to fall all over them?" As a Palace employee who works a lot of rock coocerts I've seen everything from zombies (black hair, black lipstick, black clothes) at Cure concerts to throwbacks from the hippie era - with the unforgettable aroma of b.o. and patchouli oil. . It's kind of hard to keep a straight face when you're looking at tattooed cheeks, a Mohawk and rings in every facial orifice, while saying, "May I see your ticket, please?" You would rather ask, "Did you mother see you before you left the house?" I guess my son dresses like anonnal teenager. He wants everyone to know he likes The Foo Fighters and Silver Chair, and does not want'his reputation tarnished by the.tnice, white button-down shirt" his father would like him to wear to school. "TIley" will call him a geek, he says. Now he spends more time than his sister in the

One thing Stuart said the townshIp can t do !s rest on the progress thars already been made. He saId the commuruty - officials and citizens - needs to continue working towards new goals. "One of the things we're trying to do with 2020 is to take everything people may take for granted and challenge it," he said. "The question is can you keep a rural feeling in an urbanized area. You can do that by being sensitive to' historic items and make sure every piece of history in the township doesn't get thrown down the drain."

Hockey Continued from page 1A financing of the program," said Kelly Kammer. "We have committed to pay for that team through private contributions ... We care about our kids. Our kids happen to play hockey." The hockey team will go forward as a club, with play beginning later this week at Lakeland Ice Arena. Organizers say they have a quality team made up mostly of boys who have played hockey at the club level and don't play other school sports. "Within the community of Clarkston we have some of the finest hockey players in this state," Kammer said. "We may very well deliver a state champion in the first season." Though discussion never touched on hockey's reputation as a violent sport, William Dickey, PhD said he felt the administration showed a negative bias toward the sport. Not so, Haner said. "We have intentionall y avoided all references to the sport," he said. "The intent is not to kill anything. The intent is to force anything through a predetermined process. This denial is not to hockey, it's to (adding) another sport." Trustee Barry Bomier asked the board to consider more discussion with the parents. Several parents said they felt betrayed by the athletic department, which they said had privately supported their proposal. "I don't feel there's been enough dialogue between the administration and citizens," he said. He suggested the board could approve a program for a set number of years, then re-evaluate it. ~ The board was not asked to take any formal action Monday. As things stand right now, Hanerwill act as the district's liaison with the hockey parents with a goal of trying to reach common ground and bringing more information to the board at an upcoming meeting.
