Orders for seed and food plots services will be offeredat the banquet. A habitat specialist from the local countyoffices will also be on hand to answer questions.

Russette “Rusty” Higgins,Mid-Michigan DistrictHealth Department’s nursepractitioner, is retiring again.Higgins first retired fromMMDHD in 2000 after 15years of employment. Shestarted as a nurse in 1985in the Women, Infants andChildren (WIC) and FamilyPlanning programs.
“As a nurse I felt aconnection with the clientsand felt I could help themmake good decisions,” Hig-

Higgins has definitelymade an impact on thoseshe has served. Many clientstravel long distances just tosee Higgins.
“Rusty provides great ser-vice; that’s why my sistersand I drive 50 miles to MMD-HD,” said one family plan-ning client. “We love Rustyand hate to see her leave.”Others have been impacted
in far greater ways.Higgins’ last working day
was Dec. 22. While she saysshe will greatly miss the
MMDHD staff and wonder-ful clients, she is lookingforward to her second, andfinal, retirement. She plansto spend time with her twodaughters, five grandchil-dren, toy fox terrier and trav-el with her husband.
“MMDHD has some greatprograms to offer,” she said.“I just wish more peoplewould use them. Once peo-ple give us a try, they havenothing but good things tosay.”
Filling Higgins’ shoes willnot be easy, but JennifferEfaw is up to the task. Efaw,a familiar face to MMDHDclients, has been orientingwith Higgins and will beassuming nurse practitionerduties for the department.Efaw has the commitment,passion and education need-ed for the job. She has beena nurse for 18 years, 15of which have been spentas a public health nursewith MMDHD, primarily in
immunization, WIC, familyplanning and communicabledisease. Efaw earned herLPN in 1992; RN in 1993;BSN from Ferris State Uni-versity in 2005; and her mas-ter’s in nursing, followingthe family nurse practitio-ner track, from MSU in May.She earned her formal nursepractitioner certification inAugust.

But Besko responded with threethree-point shots in less than two min-utes, putting St. Johns up 40-31.
“The shot felt good, we’ve beengetting in some extra shots over thepast weeks and that’s really helped,”Besko said. “I just started feeling itand wasn’t thinking about it. I wasn’teven aiming, just putting it up there. Itwas nice.” Zach Glanz turned a three-point play the hard way, making abasket, getting fouled and sinking thefree throw to put St. Johns up by 11points with two minutes left.

The win over Owosso was the sec-ond win in two days for the Redwings.St. Johns beat Jackson Lumen Chris-ti 66-47 the day before. The gameagainst Owosso was postponed fromFeb. 1 because of the weather.
“It was exciting to play back-to-back games,” Miller said. “We werefired up to play Owosso on Tuesday(Feb. 1), but with the snow cancella-tion, we had to focus our energy onLumen, then we had a very short timeto come back the next night. But wecame in here early and did a walkthrough, and we had good focus (inthe game).” Miller said Harden andGlanz did a good job of defending Nie-man, holding Owosso’s top scorer to11 points.
With the second half of the seasonstarting, the Redwings will be facingall league opponents for the secondtime over the next few weeks.
“We’ve been fortunate to getthrough with only three losses, thisis the time of the season. We have toget better because other teams willbe working hard to get to us the sec-ond time around,” Miller said.

These drugs are a potential source of supply for il-legal use and an unacceptable risk to public health andsafety.
“These services are important to increase awarenessand prevention of prescription drug abuse,” said SheriffWayne Kangas. “Residents are encouraged to dispose ofmedications responsibly by participating in one of theevents to be held in the coming months.”
“These services are also important to help safeguardboth human and environmental health,” said Cara Clore,Clinton County Waste Management coordinator.
Medications should never be disposed of by flushingor pouring items down the drain. Most substances arenot able to be filtered by water treatment plants.
As a result, they can end up in surface waters andnegatively impact local ecosystems. Landfill disposalhas similar challenges.
The preferred disposal alternative is through specialincineration technologies, which destroy chemical com-pounds while preventing pollution to the environment.
