8A(P,C) Monday. October 26, 1981 from our readers Starkweather reacts to cuts To tfle Editor: We are writing this in response to the article of Thursday, Oct. 1, 1981, stating that since April the central administration has been asking John Howe, principal of Starkweather Elementary, for enrollment information and stating he had not responded. In May, Howe talked ot Norman Kee concerning Starkweather's loss of a full-time kindergarten teacher, Doris Balconi. At that time, Kee agreeed Starkweather needed a halftime kindergarten teacher In May the school board proposed boundary and ESY changes which would have affected Starkweather's enrollment. In June Howe hired Mary Kroes, a halftime kindergarten teacher. In June Howe, Tom Workman, Carrol Nichols and Ed Kleinsmith went to the school board meeting to discuss the proposed boundary and ESY changes At that time it was decided that Waverly Village, affected by the boundary changes, would stay at Starkweather rather than go to Allen. That decision affected Starkweather's enrollment. Not until late August did the school board make the decision to opt out. That also affected Starkweather's enrollment. Last year, Starkweather had 29 students opt out. On Sept 2, a memo wrfs sent to all building principals from Kee regarding 1981-82 staffing ratios. On Sept. 10 Howe responded to that memo with a letter addressed to Kee and Shirley Spaniel stating tha Starkweather did presently meet the district requirements. It is in the teacher/school board contract that any certified student be weighted as two. Starkweather is a Title I school and has two emotionally impaired (EI) classrooms where the students who are ready are mainstreamed into regular classrooms Starkweather's enrollment in grades first through sixth is 218 Twenty-eight of these studnets are certified as learning disabled or EI which creates a weighted enrollment of 264, and which brings our student/teacher ratio to 24 76 - just above the established 24.75. On Sept 11 in a memo from Kee to Howe, Kee stated that Howe made some very interesting rationalizations but still insisted that we were overstaffed. On Sept 11. Howe informed the parents of Starkweather that we had lost our halftime kindergarten teacher, Mary Kroes. On Sept 24 Howe wrote a letter to Carol Davis, Be A Winner In The Game Of Life... Be A Blood Donor I'm ( iuih Ho Sthcmbcchlcr of (hr University of Muhigan urging ill of you to be winners in the game of life Donate blood Call your nearest Red Cross Donor ( enter to make an appointment + American • Red Cross Anient an Kri) ( fuss Blood Srrvur Southfjsifrn Michigan Region KH 1-140 C J.I < -77. RICH / f UHt president of the school board, Dr. John Hoben, superintendent, Kee, assistant superintendent for employee relations, and to Mrs. Spaniel, executive director of elementary education, asking permission to address the board in reviewing the reconstruction of grades kindergarten, first, second, and third at Starkweather School to meet the ratio. Howe received no response from the board. Therefore, on Sept. 28, he appeared before the school board, by signing a parent card, to express his reasons for opposing the loss of a halftime kindergarten teacher at Starkweather, but because of the five-minute limit was not allowed to complete his presentation. We as conserned parents at Starkweather feel Howe was done an injustice and that he did react in a professional manner. He responded to this situation as he does all, not only as an excellent administrator but as the sensitive, understanding and devoted person that he is. He is respected not only by the parents and staff but by most of all our children. We are proud to say John Howe is the principal of Starkweather School. Presenty there are two elemenatry, three middle, and one high school not maintaining the 24.75 student/teacher ratio. We hope these schools do not lose teachers also. We think the cuts need to be made elsewhere, not directly affecting the students. The school board allocated $17,000 this year for the teachers and administration to go to a workshop to learn and develop new teaching techniques. At a time when we all have to tighten our belts, this type of program could be postponed til the economic situation improves. The $17,000 would have more than paid for our halftime kindergarten teacher. We think the administration and school board need to take a look at the feelings of mistrust and frustration they have created with the parents. Our main concern is providing a reasonable and proper education for our children. Teacher cuts are not reasonable The headline in the Observer on Thursday, Oct. 15, read: "Students are shifting to non-public schools." Some 85 percent of the 450 declining enrollment figure still residing in the Plymouth Canton school district should express some unfavorable feelings to the school board and administration.

®ljt ©bseruer » sf lot: ) pii i ci car t Monday, October 26, 1981 * 1 B Biscuits spark great family meals UJ * O WITH MORE THAN half of American women in the work force, time for family food preparation is at a premium. Since today's meals are simpler and more streamlined, they often need that "something extra" to awaken the interest of busy families. In the days when an afternoon could be devoted to dinner preparation, a meal's delight was often special homebaked breads, muffins and rolls, fresh from the oven. But today, the time-saving alternative comes from refrigerated biscuits. Pop them into the oven and bake, minutes before serving time. In addition, a variety of breads, muffins and buns can also be easily made with refrigerated biscuits and ingredients you have on hand. The results have the professional look of bakery shop goods but with a fresh, just-baked Saste of homemade. Unlike "from scratch'' baking, these recipes can be prepared in minutes and are so economical that you will want to serve them often. Unusual homebaked breads are easy with refrigerated biscuits. An attractive Parmesan Paprika Loaf can be made with refrigerated buttermilk or country style biscuits. Or turn the biscuits into a quick Italian Herb Round, sprinkled with parsley, minced garlic and basil. With a variety of refrigerated biscuits on hand, you are prepared to serve homebaked breads and hottrom-the-oven rolls and buns. To add a special touch to a ham, chicken or pork dinner, serve biscuit breads with an added touch of sweetness that complements the meats. Eye-appealing Blossom Biscuits are created by flattening refrigerated biscuits and cutting "petals" in the edges. Center with a colorful mandarin orange segment, maraschino cherry half or raisins. Crumbcake Gems have a "heart" of preserves inside two biscuit halves, which are topped with a streusel mixture. If preparation time is really short, take a cue from noted Southern cooks and serve fresh-baked biscuits with an interesting flavored spread. The "homemade" taste and lightness of hot buttermilk or baking powder biscuits are the perfect foil for made-in-advance toppings — Dilly Mustard Spread, Onion Spread and Lemon Pepper Spread.
